Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bubble generating device.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 In recent years, the functions of a suction pipe, a discharge pipe, and a circulation pump connected to a bathtub suck in bathwater from a suction port provided in the bathtub, and by mixing air into the bathwater, air bubbles are generated from a jet nozzle provided in the bathtub. A bubble generator that discharges air has been commercialized.

In addition to the circulation pump, this type of bubble generating device is equipped with a water level sensor for detecting the water level in the bathtub and a water leak sensor for detecting water leakage in the bubble generating device. There is a product with a function to control ON / OFF. In addition, there is a device that, when a water leak occurs inside the air bubble generator, the water leak is detected and the LED is displayed on the remote controller.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in the above-mentioned conventional bubble generator, when a water leak occurs inside the bubble generator, an LED is displayed on the remote controller so that a person near the remote controller can confirm the leak detection. However, if it is not near the remote controller, the leak detection display may not be confirmed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and even when there is no person near the remote controller connected to the bubble generating device, when a water leak occurs, an alarm or voice etc. is given to a person in the house. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bubble generating device capable of reporting a water leak by.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention discharges a bath water suction port 20 and a jet mixed with bubbles into a bath 1 as shown in the functional configuration of FIG. Each of the jet nozzles 21 is provided, and the suction port 20 and the jet nozzle 21 are connected by the suction pipe 22 and the discharge pipe 23 via the circulation pump 2 to form a bath water circulation path. Water leakage detection means 3 for detecting water leakage in the housing that stores the water leakage, and water leakage detection display signal means for displaying water leakage by the remote controller 6 when a water leakage detection signal is generated in the water leakage detection means 3. In the bubble generator 9, when a water leakage detection signal is generated in the water leakage detection means 3, a water leakage detection signal external output means 7 for displaying the water leakage outside the device other than the remote controller 6 (such as the severity unit 10) is provided. That is characterized by is there.

[0007]

[Action]

 The bubble generating device of the present invention operates as follows when water leakage occurs.

That is, in the functional configuration of FIG. 1 of the present invention, when the water leak detection means 3 detects water leak inside the housing that houses the circulation pump 2, the water leak detection display signal output means 4 and the water leak detection signal external output A water leak detection signal is output to the means 7. Then, by the input of the water leak detection signal, the water leak detection display signal output means 4 outputs the water leak detection signal to the water leak indicator 5, and the water leak indicator 5 is turned on. Further, the water leak detection signal external output means 7 outputs a water leak detection signal to the water leak detection notification device 8 stored in the security unit 10 connected to the bubble generating device, whereby the water leak detection notification is issued. The vessel 8 issues a water leak alarm. Therefore, if water leaks inside the housing that houses the circulation pump 2, even if there is no person near the remote controller, the security unit will alert you, regardless of whether there is a person in the bathroom. , You can evoke the middle level around.

【Example】

 FIG. 2 is a circuit block diagram of an embodiment in which the functional configuration of the present invention shown in FIG. 1 is realized by hardware.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the water leak detection means 3 inside the housing that houses the circulation pump 2 is composed of a water leak sensor 13.

The water leak detection display signal output means 4 is composed of an output terminal (ab) 15.

The water leak detection signal external output means 7 is composed of a photocoupler 17 and an output terminal (cd) 18.

The water leakage detection alarm 8 is composed of a warning sound generation circuit 11, a voice amplification circuit 12, and a speaker 19.

The operation of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

After the power of the bubble generator 9 is turned on, the input gate of the inverter 16 checks the input voltage from the state of the water leakage sensor 13 (resistance value). When the water leak sensor 13 detects the presence of water, the output of the inverter 16 is inverted from "H" to "L". (Normally, the output of the inverter 16 is "H".) The water leak detection display LED 14 inside the remote controller 6 connected to the bubble generator 9 is such that the output signal of the inverter 16 is inverted from "H" to "L". Thus, the signal is transmitted through the output terminal (ab) 15 and the light is turned on.

Further, the water leakage detection / informing device 8 in the security unit 10 separately connected to the bubble generating device 9 constantly monitors the output signal of the inverter 16, and the output signal of the inverter 16 changes from “H” to “L”. By reversing to “”, the transistor of the photo-plastic 17 turns on, and the water leak detection signal is transmitted to the water leak detection alarm 8 in the security unit 10 via the output terminal (cd) 18.

When the water leak detection signal is input (transistor of the photocoupler 17 is ON), the water leak detection alarm 8 generates an alarm sound from the speaker 19 via the warning sound generation circuit 11 and the sound amplification circuit 12. To do.
