The bath pot can be installed without creating a large gap between this type of bath pot, which is installed near a wall surface, and the wall surface, thereby reducing the installation space for the appliance. be.

[Prior Art and Problems Therein] There is a bathtub for outdoor installation that is made thin so that the installation space can be reduced.An example of this type of bathtub is shown in FIG. 4.

The body case 19 of the bathtub 1 has pipes projecting from the back side of the appliance and communicating with the upper and lower parts of the heat exchanger 2 separately, and these pipes are used to connect the bathtub pipes D and D on the bathtub A side. Part 11, 12
It is becoming. Then, bathtub pipes D and D protrude from the wall C to the outside, and each of the above-mentioned connection parts 11 and 12.
are connected to each other via connecting rubber tubes E, E.

In this one, when the gas burner 6 is burned,
The water in the heat exchanger 2 is heated to raise its temperature, and the hot water in the heat exchanger 2 and the low-temperature water in the bathtub A are exchanged with each other via the bathtub pipes D, D, and the water in the bathtub A is There is a natural circulation between the water and the pot 1, which heats up the bath.

However, the above-mentioned conventional bathtub had a problem in that even if the bathtub 1 was made thinner, the space for installing the appliances was not reduced very much.

In the above-mentioned conventional type, this is because the bathtub 1 and the wall C
This is because the equipment cannot be installed unless a large gap is secured between the two.

That is, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional one, each connection part 11, 12 for connecting the bathtub pipes D, D to the bathtub A.
protrudes from the main body case 19 of the bathtub 1 toward the rear, so that each of these connecting parts 11,
In order to connect the bathtub pipes D and D to the bathtub pipes D and D, a gap for piping work must be created between the bathtub pot 1 and the wall C. Therefore, even if the bathtub 1 is made thinner in order to reduce the installation space of the bathtub 1, when the bathtub is actually installed, the work space secured at the back of the bathtub 1 will be limited. This will protrude extra from the wall C, and the space for installing the appliance will increase accordingly.

[Technical Problem] The present invention is a bathtub installed near a wall C of a bathroom, with its back surface parallel to said wall C, which includes a cylindrical connection part 11 communicating with a heat exchanger, 12
are projected in parallel from the side wall of the main body case 19 of the bathtub 1, and these connecting parts are connected to the bathtub A and to bathtub pipes D and D projected from the wall C. '', in order to reduce the installation space of the bath pot 1, the circulation circuit between the heat exchanger of the bath pot 1 and the bathtub can be connected with almost no gap between the wall C and the bath pot 1. The task is to make it happen.

[Technical Means] The technical means of the present invention taken to solve the above problem is as follows: ``The main body case 19 is shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped, and following the side wall 18 perpendicular to the back surface, at least the wall surface other than the bottom surface is closed. A rectangular parallelepiped-shaped piping work chamber 15 is formed to form a rectangular parallelepiped shape as a whole,
The top plate portion of the piping work chamber 15 and the top plate portion of the main body case 19 are integrally connected to form a substantially rectangular flat top plate 10, and the side wall 18 is provided in the piping work chamber 15.
The connecting portions 11 and 12 are made to protrude from the piping work chamber 15, and an opening through which the bathtub pipes D and D are passed is provided at a position farther from the side wall 18 than the protruding length of the connecting portions 11 and 12 on the rear side wall of the piping work chamber 15. The front side wall of this piping work chamber 15 and the side wall adjacent thereto are made removable, and the connecting portions 11 and 12
and the bathtub pipes D, D are connected by a special L-shaped connecting rubber pipe E.

[Effect] The above technical means works as follows.

To install the bathtub 1 on the wall C, install the main body case 1.
9 and the back of the piping work room 15 are installed along the wall C. Then, the front side wall and the adjacent side wall of the piping work chamber 15 are removed, and the bathtub pipes D and D are inserted into the piping work chamber 15 through the opening in the rear side wall.
protrude inward.

The opening has a distance from the side wall 18 of the connecting portion 11,
Since the protrusion length is set to be larger than the protruding length of the connecting portions 11 and 12, in the above state, the tips of the connecting portions 11 and 12 and the tips of the bathtub pipes D and D are separated and their extension lines are substantially perpendicular to each other. At this time, the distance between the tips can be adjusted depending on the installation position of the bathtub 1. When the connecting parts 11 and 12 and the bathtub pipes D and D are connected by a connecting rubber tube E, the heat exchanger of the bathtub 1 and the bathtub are connected to each other so that circulation is possible.

After this connection is completed, when the front side wall of the piping work chamber 15 and the adjacent side wall are closed, the connection portion is accommodated within the piping work chamber 15 and is not visible from the outside.

[Effects] Since the present invention has the above configuration, it has the following unique effects.

Since the bathtub 1 can be installed with the bathtub pipes D and D protruding from the wall C housed in the piping work chamber 15, there are no connecting parts 11 and 12 between the bathtub 1 and the wall C, as in the conventional case. The distance between the bathtub 1 and the wall C is significantly smaller than that in which the bathtub pipes D and D are exposed as they are.

Further, since the connecting portions between the connecting portions 11 and 12 and the bathtub pipes D and D are hidden within the piping work chamber 15, the unsightly appearance can be eliminated. Moreover, when connecting the piping, the front side wall of the piping work chamber 15 and the adjacent side wall can be removed, making this work easy.

Furthermore, the connecting rubber tubes E, E are not exposed to the outside air, and the durability of this member is improved.

Furthermore, since the piping work chamber 15 and the main body case 19 are integrally connected and the top plate portions of both are integrated into the top plate 10, there is no need to worry about the piping work chamber being deformed or damaged during transportation. However, the entire body including the piping work chamber 15 has the appearance of a rectangular parallelepiped bathtub.
