The present invention is a cleaning device comprising a container and a bubble generator attached to the bottom of the container,
The bubble generator includes a bubble generation chamber, a tap water inlet that opens into the bubble generation chamber and is connected to a water faucet, and an air inlet that opens near the tap water inlet, The tap water inlet is an open end of a tap water inlet pipe that is inserted into the bubble generation chamber in a substantially watertight manner, and the insertion depth thereof is adjustable, so that the tap water inlet The bubble generator, whose position is adjustable, provides a cleaning device in which the bubble generation chamber opens into the container. As described above, the cleaning device of the present invention includes a container,
a bubble generator attached to the bottom of the container. First, the bubble generator will be explained based on FIG. The bubble generator has a bubble generation chamber 10. The shape of the bubble generation chamber is not particularly limited, and is, for example, cylindrical. The dimensions of the bubble generation chamber 10 are also not particularly limited, but in the case of a cylindrical shape, the diameter is preferably about 5 mm to 15 mm. A tap water inlet 12 connected to a tap is open in the bubble generation chamber 10 . There are no particular restrictions on the dimensions of the tap water inlet 12, but for example, if the inner diameter is 1.
It is about 3 mm to 3 mm. The tap water inlet 12 is the open end of the tap water inlet pipe 14, and is the open end of the tap water inlet pipe 14.
It opens into the inside of 0. In the bubble generation chamber 10,
A through hole into which the tap water introduction pipe 14 is inserted is provided. In the illustrated example, a thread 16 is cut in the inner wall of this through hole, a corresponding thread 18 is cut in the outer wall of the tap water inlet pipe 14, and the tap water inlet pipe 14 is inserted into the through hole in the bubble generation chamber 10. It is inserted in a substantially water-tight screwed manner. With this structure, by rotating the tap water inlet pipe 14, the position of the tap water inlet 12, which is the open end of the tap water inlet pipe 14, in the bubble generation chamber 10, and even the air inlet 22, which will be described later, can be adjusted. The relative position of the air bubbles can be adjusted, thereby controlling the amount of bubbles generated. According to experiments, it has been found that the amount of bubbles generated is maximum when the tap water inlet 12 is located slightly closer to the traveling direction of the tap water flow than the air inlet 22 (to the left in the drawing). In the illustrated example, the diameter of the tap water inlet pipe 14 near the end 20 on the side opposite to the liquid inlet 12 is increased so that a rubber pipe or the like can be easily connected thereto. An air introduction port 22 is opened in the bubble generation chamber 10 in the vicinity of the tap water introduction port 12 . Air inlet 2
The position 2 may be any position as long as air bubbles are generated, but if it is too far from the tap water inlet 12, air bubbles will be difficult to generate. The dimensions of the air inlet 22 are not particularly limited, but preferably have an inner diameter of about 1 mm to 3 mm. The number of air introduction ports 22 is also not particularly limited, but is, for example, about 1 to 4. An embodiment of the cleaning device of the present invention equipped with the above-mentioned bubble generator will be described with reference to FIG. As shown, the bubble generator is attached to the bottom of the container 26. In the illustrated example, the bubble generation chamber 10
A packing 24 made of a material such as rubber is attached to the outer end of the container 26, to which a container 26 is connected in a watertight manner. The container 26 has a drain port 28
is provided. The container 26 is also provided with a lid 30. When in use, place items to be cleaned, such as tableware, various mechanical parts, dentures, etc. into the container 26, add an appropriate cleaning agent if necessary, and close the lid 30. 20 is connected to a water faucet using a rubber pipe or the like, and water is supplied from the water faucet. Then, the water from the faucet will flow to tap water inlet pipe 1.
4 and becomes a jet water stream, which is ejected into the bubble generation chamber 10 through the tap water inlet 12. At this time, air is sucked through the air introduction port 22, and a large number of minute bubbles are generated within the bubble generation chamber 10. This is vigorously jetted into the container 26 together with the water flow passing through the tap water inlet pipe 14, and due to the cooperative action of the bubbles and the water flow, the items placed in the container to be cleaned are effectively cleaned. The water in the container 26 is drained from the drain port 28. Note that if the water pressure of the tap water is low, there is a risk that water will flow backwards and be discharged from the air inlet 22, so it is preferable to provide the air inlet 22 with a valve (not shown) to prevent backflow. In addition, in the example of the cleaning device described above, if the lid 30 is made of a flexible material such as rubber and has a hole of an appropriate size, a hand, foot, or other body part can be inserted into the hole. It is also possible to clean it within the container 26. Further, it is also possible to take out only the head of a pet such as a dog or cat through this hole to wash the pet's body. In these cases, the water flow is too strong and may cause pain, so to prevent this, the bubble generation chamber 10
A baffle plate (not shown) can also be provided at the open end of the opening.
