Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shoulder rest shower device for a bathtub which is used to massage a shoulder by giving a strong jet of shower water to the shoulder while taking a bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a shoulder pad shower which gives a jet of shower water to the shoulder, there is one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 2-141282. In this case, a jet flow of shower water is ejected from a shoulder pad nozzle of a shoulder pad shower device to hit the shoulder pad. A water wheel is provided in the shoulder pad nozzle, and a plurality of flow paths are opened / closed by the rotation of the water wheel due to water pressure, and the flow of the jet flow is switched to give a bathing person a massage effect.

[0003]

In the above-mentioned one, since the shower water is used by circulating the bath water with the circulation pump, the hair, the lint, etc. in the bath water are also circulated at the same time. However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional example, there is a problem in that hair and thread waste are clogged and thus do not function because there is a movable part such as a water wheel.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a bathtub capable of giving a sufficient massage effect without hair or thread waste in the bath water being clogged. To provide a shower device for a shoulder rest of.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, a shower device for a shoulder rest of a bath tub according to the present invention comprises a shower device 17 for a shoulder rest attached to a flange 2 of a bath tub 1 and shower water directed toward a bather's shoulder. Is provided, and the oscillation type pure fluid element 34 that oscillates so that the jet flow is switched to the left and right is provided in the shoulder pad nozzle 3.

[0006]

According to the above construction, when the shower water is jetted from the shoulder pad nozzle 3, the jet flow is switched right and left by the oscillation of the oscillation type pure fluid element 34, and the jet flow is changed to obtain a sufficient massage effect. Be done. Further, since the oscillating pure fluid element 34 is used to switch the jet flow, there is no moving part as in the conventional case, and the operation does not stop due to clogging of hair or thread waste.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the whole bath 1, and FIG. 5 is a pipeline diagram showing the whole system. A circulation pump 8 is arranged on the side of the bathtub 1, and a suction port 9 and the circulation pump 8 in the bathtub 1 are connected by a suction pipe 10. The circulation pump 8 removes hot water in the bathtub 1. Can be inhaled.
A plurality of back jet nozzles 11 and foot jet nozzles 12 for jetting hot water mixed with bubbles into the bathtub 1 are provided on the inner wall surface of the bathtub 1. The jet nozzles 11 and 12 and the circulation pump 8 are provided. Are connected by nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14,
Bath water can be supplied to the injection nozzles 11 and 12. The flange 2 of the bath tub 1 is provided with an air intake port 15, and the air intake port 15 and the injection nozzles 11 and 12 are connected by an air pipe 16, whereby the injection nozzle 1
Air can be supplied to 1 and 12. Bathtub 1
A pair of shower devices 17 for shoulder rests are arranged on the flange 2 at positions corresponding to the shoulders of the bather, and the shower device 17 for shoulder rests and the circulation pump 8 are connected by a shower water supply pipe 18 for shoulder rests. It is connected and the bath water is supplied to the shoulder shower device 17. The operation of the bathtub 1 is performed by the remote controller 20, so that each operation pattern can be selected, the strength of the flow rate can be adjusted, and the frequency of the jet flow change can be adjusted. The signal from the remote controller 20 is sent to the remote controller light receiving unit 21 and transmitted to the control unit 22 housed in the circulation pump 8.

The bath water sucked from the suction port 9 is supplied from the circulation pump 8 to the nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 via a flow rate control valve 23 which controls the circulation flow rate inside the pump unit.
The water is supplied to the shoulder shower water supply pipe 18. The nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 and the shoulder pad shower water supply pipe 18 are provided with a back flow path switching valve 24 such as a motor valve, a foot flow path switching valve 25, and a shoulder flow path switching valve 26, respectively. The supply of bath water can be switched. The bath water that has circulated through the nozzle water supply pipes 13 and 14 through the back flow path switching valve 24 and the foot flow path switching valve 25 is mixed with the air from the air pipe 16 at the injection nozzles 11 and 12. A jet stream containing bubbles is jetted into the bathtub 1.
Shower water supply pipe for shoulder 1 through the flow path switching valve 26 for shoulder
The bath water circulated via 8 is supplied to the shoulder rest shower device 17 and sprayed from the shoulder rest nozzle 3 of the shoulder rest shower device 17. The flow rate of the bath water circulated and supplied to the injection nozzles 11 and 12 and the shower device 17 for shoulder rest is circulated by controlling the flow rate control valve 23 that can control the flow rate by the valve opening degree using a stepping motor. The flow rate can be adjusted, and the strength and weakness of the jet flow jetted from the jet nozzles 11 and 12 and the shoulder pad nozzle 3 of the shoulder pad shower device 17 can be adjusted, and various jet streams can be obtained.

The shower device for a shoulder pad 17 is formed as shown in FIG. A pedestal 27 is attached to the flange 2, and a main body 28 is rotatably attached to the pedestal 27. An O-ring 29 is interposed in a portion that rotatably connects the pedestal 27 and the main body 28, and is water-tightly connected by the O-ring 29. A strainer 30 for removing dust is interposed between the pedestal 27 and the main body 28. On the upper part of the main body 28, a cylindrical rotary shaft 31 is horizontally arranged and rotatably mounted. An O-ring 32 is also provided in a watertight manner at a portion where the rotary shaft 31 is rotatably connected. A shoulder pad nozzle 3 is attached to the rotary shaft 31, and a jet of shower water can be jetted from an jet port 33 at the tip of the shoulder pad nozzle 3. An oscillation type pure fluid element 34 such as a feedback oscillation type pure fluid element is internally provided in the shoulder pad nozzle 3, and the jet direction is alternately switched by the oscillation of the oscillation type pure fluid element 34. ing. That is, the jet flow ejected from the main nozzle 35 of the oscillating pure fluid element 34 is the feedback pipe 3
It switches by the negative pressure of 6, and is injected alternately in the C direction and the D direction of FIG. The shoulder shower device 17 has a main body 28.
3 can be rotated by rotating the shoulder pad nozzle 3 in a horizontal plane as shown by arrow a in FIG. 3, and the shoulder pad nozzle 3 can be rotated up and down as shown by arrow b in FIG. The direction of 3 can be changed freely.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the oscillation type pure fluid element which oscillates so that the jet flow is switched to the left and right is provided in the shoulder pad nozzle, the oscillation type pure fluid element oscillates to direct the jet direction. Are switched alternately, and a changing jet can be applied to the shoulder to obtain an excellent massage effect. Moreover, since the jet type is switched by oscillating the oscillation type pure fluid element, it can move as before. It is possible to obtain a stable operation over a long period of time without the operation being clogged with hair, thread waste, etc. due to the lack of parts.
