Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a bathtub system in which a pump that sucks hot water in a bathtub and squirts it into the bathtub is attached to a free-standing stand housed in the bathtub. This invention relates to a jet device.

[Conventional technology]

The hot water in the bathtub is sucked and mixed with air, or the hot water is squirted into the bath at the required pressure without mixing air, and this jet stream stimulates the bather's skin to perform in-bath pine surge. Conventional bath jet devices are of the type in which the jet nozzle and the pump are both immersed in the hot water of the bathtub. The mixture is mixed with hot water sent through a hose and is jetted into the bath from the spouting nozzle at the required pressure.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in conventional devices, the pump is placed inside the bathtub, so there is a problem that the inside of the bathtub becomes narrower. Since the pipe is routed inside the bathtub, this hose gets in the way, making it inconvenient to enjoy the relaxing bathing experience.

This invention was made to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to easily arrange the pump without making the inside of the bathtub as narrow as possible, and also to avoid the routing of conduits such as hoses that get in the way. To provide an in-bath jet device that allows you to enjoy pine surge in a bath in a relaxed mood by omitting piping.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention employs the following means. In other words, in the present invention, a pump that sucks hot water from inside the bathtub and squirts it into the bath from a nozzle is fixed so that it protrudes above the top surface of the bathtub by a freestanding stand housed inside the bathtub. In addition, the stand includes at least a pair of support pipes, one support pipe is connected to the suction side of the pump to form a water supply line for the pump, and the other support pipe is connected to the pump. The water supply pipe is connected to the discharge port side of the pump, and the support pipe on the water supply pipe side has a hot water suction part, and the support pipe on the water supply pipe side has a hot water spout part, respectively. A means to solve this problem is to have a structure provided at a position where it is immersed.

[Effect]

In the present invention configured as described above, when a freestanding stand is placed in a bathtub, the stand stands on its own and stably supports the pump without requiring any fixing means such as a suction cup. By starting the pump in this supported state, hot water in the bathtub is sucked from the suction part of one of the support pipes and enters the pump chamber through the water supply line of the pipe. Then, the suction hot water passes from the discharge port of the same pump through the water supply line of the other support pipe to the spouting section, and is spouted into the bath from the spouting section at a required pressure.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

In the drawing, the bottom surface 2 of the bathtub 1 has a free-standing,
In other words, the stand 3 is placed along the inner wall surface of the bathtub so that it does not require any fixing means such as a suction cup and stands upright stably without falling down. The stand 3 is made of a pipe and consists of a foot 4 and a pair of left and right legs 5.The foot 3 is made of a pipe shaped like a U-shape in order to stabilize the stand 3 standing upright. It is formed by curving, and from the ankle part on one end side of this foot part 4 is a first leg part consisting of pipe parts 6a and 6b, and from the ankle part on the other end side is a first leg part consisting of pipe parts 7a.
and 7b are each extended upwardly.

The lower end side of a water supply basket 8, which functions as a suction section for hot water, is connected to the upper end portion of the first leg portion 6a by screwing or the like. This water supply basket 8 has a plurality of slit holes 10 for sucking hot water into a cylindrical wall.
A support pipe constituting the first leg portion 6b is fitted upward into the upper end side cylindrical hole of the water supply basket 8.

On the other hand, a nozzle 11 functioning as a hot water spout is connected to the upper end of the second leg 7a by screwing or the like with its spout 12 facing into the bath. Note that the nozzle hole and the pipe hole of the second leg portion 7a are blocked by the wall surface of the nozzle 11, and the two holes do not communicate with each other.

A support pipe constituting the second leg portion 7b is connected upward to the upper end of the nozzle 11, and the pipe hole of the pipe and the nozzle hole are in communication.

Incidentally, the water supply basket 8 and the nozzle 11 are provided at a position in the bath, that is, at a depth position where the water is immersed in hot water in the bathtub 1. Both the upper end portion and the upper end portion of the second leg portion 7b projecting upward from the nozzle 11 extend beyond the upper end surface 1a of the bathtub 1 and further above the upper end surface 1a. A pump 13 is fixed to the upper ends of both legs 6b, 7b.

That is, the upper end of the first leg 6b is connected to the pump 1.
The upper end portion of the second leg portion 7b is airtightly connected to the discharge port side of the pump 13. As a result, among the legs 6b and 7b functioning as a pair of left and right support pipes, the pipe hole in the first leg 6b functions as a water supply conduit for the pump 13, and the pipe hole in the second leg 7b functions as a water supply conduit for the pump 13. It functions as 13 water pipelines. When installing this pump 13, the center of gravity of the pump 13 should be adjusted to the leg 6.
If it is located closer to the toe of the foot portion 4 than b and 7b, the stability of the stand 3 in an upright state can be further improved.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

When the pump 13 is activated by applying priming water, hot water in the bathtub 1 is sucked through the slit hole 10 of the water supply basket 8 and guided into the pump chamber through the pipe hole of the first leg portion 6b. The hot water introduced into the pump chamber is pressurized within the pump chamber, and is guided from the discharge port of the pump 13 through the pipe hole of the second leg 7b to the nozzle 11, and from the spout port 12 of the nozzle 11. It is squirted into the bath at the required pressure. In this embodiment, an air drawing means is provided at an appropriate position from the pump 13 to the nozzle 11, and the jetted hot water is mixed with the drawn air and is powerfully jetted into the bath.

In this embodiment, air (bubbles) is mixed with the hot water sucked from the bathtub, and the mixture is ejected into the bath from the nozzle 11, but only hot water may be ejected into the bath. However, if air is not mixed,
Ultrasonic waves are not generated in the bath, and the pine surge effect is somewhat reduced.

[Effect of idea]

In this invention, the pump is attached to a stand and placed above the bathtub, that is, outside the bathtub, so the pump does not significantly reduce the usable space inside the bathtub, and the inside of the bathtub can be used spaciously. . Of course, since the pump is not placed in the washing area, the washing area does not become narrow. Furthermore, the support pipe of the stand serves as both the water suction pipe and the water supply pipe of the pump, and the support pipe of the water suction pipe is provided with a suction part, and the support pipe of the water supply pipe is provided with an ejection part. Because of this, there is no need to route separate piping lines inside the bathtub to connect the suction section and the ejection section with the pump, which not only simplifies the device configuration, but also reduces the number of piping routes. In addition, unlike the conventional method, these piping lines (hoses) do not get in the way, so you can enjoy a relaxed feeling while taking a bath.

In addition, since the hot water spouting part such as the nozzle is installed on the support pipe of the stand, there is no need for suction cups or other attachments to fix the spouting nozzle to the wall of the bathtub, simplifying the device configuration and reducing costs. It is also advantageous in terms of achieving this. Furthermore, since the stand is free-standing, there is no need for suction cups or other means of fixing the stand to the top or inner wall of the bathtub; simply place the stand with the pump inside the bathtub.
In other words, the device of the present invention can be easily installed in a bathtub without requiring any fixing work to the bathtub, which is very convenient.
