Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] 【Technical field】

The present invention relates to a device for removing grime from a bathtub in accordance with the water level of the bathtub.

[Background technology]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in swimming pools and the like, a scum removing device as shown in FIG. 6 has been used. However,
In the case of such a dust removal device, the dust removal box part 3
The float 6 is designed to move in a direction perpendicular to the mounting wall 2 of the tank 7 on which the float 6 is mounted, and therefore the depth l has to be long. Therefore, even if this scale removal device is adopted as a scale removal device for the bathtub 1, the wall surface 2 to which the bathtub 1 is attached
The protruding length of the dirt removal box part 3 from the bathtub was increased, which caused the inconvenience of hitting the body or getting in the way when bathing. In particular, the smaller the bathtub 1, the greater the difference in water level between when a person is in the bathtub 1 and when no one is in the bathtub 1.The float 6 must be long enough to follow this large water level difference. A long float 6 is required, and in order to accommodate this long float 6, the protruding length of the dust removal box portion 3 becomes increasingly large.

[Purpose of invention]

The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned technical background, and its purpose is to shorten the protruding length of the scrubbing box part from the wall to which the bathtub is attached, and to make it possible to shorten the protruding length of the scrubbing box part from the wall surface to which the bathtub is attached, and to make it possible to shorten the protruding length of the scrubbing box part from the wall surface to which the bathtub is attached. To perform a shaving operation by sufficiently following the water level difference even if the difference in water level from that at the time of bathing is large.

[Disclosure of invention]

The bathtub removing device of the present invention includes a removing box 3 on the mounting wall 2 of the bathtub 1, and a suction opening 5 on the surface 4 of the removing box 3 that intersects with the mounting wall 2 of the bathtub 1. , the lower part of the float 6 is pivoted near the lower end of the suction opening 5 so that the float 6 can freely rotate in parallel to the mounting wall 2 of the bathtub 1;
It is characterized in that the width of the float 6 is approximately equal to the width in the direction orthogonal to the mounting wall surface 2 of the bathtub 1 inside the shaving box portion 3. Thus, the scales floating on the bath water flow over the upper end of the float 6 and into the scale removal box 3, where they are removed. Moreover, even if the length of the float 6 is long,
The scrubbing box part 3 that accommodates the float 6 is the bathtub 1
The length of the bathtub 1 along the mounting wall 2 will only increase, and the protruding length of the bathtub 1 from the mounting wall 2 will not increase, and the protruding shaving box 3 may become an obstacle to bathing or It is rare that it hits someone's body. In addition, the dirt removal box part 3
Since the float 6 can be made longer without increasing the protrusion length, the followability of the float 6 can be improved even when the water level difference between bathing and non-bathing is large. In addition, since the width of the float 6 is approximately equal to the width in the direction perpendicular to the mounting wall surface 2 inside the scale removal box 3, the bath water below the water surface that does not contain much scale is removed from both sides of the float 6. This prevents the suction power of the bath water from flowing into the box part 3 from the surface on which scale is floating to be weakened. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Mounting wall surface 2 that is one surface of the inner peripheral wall of the bathtub 1
A scale removal box part 3 is fixed below the normal water level. A suction opening 5 is opened on both sides 4 of the dust removal box 3 located in a direction perpendicular to the mounting wall surface 2, and a plate-shaped float 6 is provided at the lower edge of the suction opening 5. is rotatably supported, and the float 6 can be tilted toward the inside of the dust removal box part 3. This float 6 is made of a material that has a lower density than water and floats on water, and the upper end of the float 6 is connected to the bathtub 1.
It moves up and down to follow the surface of the bath water inside. In addition, the width of the float 6 and the distance between both sides of the shaving box part 3 are approximately equal, so that bath water is difficult to leak from both sides of the float 6 and flow into the sloughing box part 3. Float 6
It is also designed to prevent bath water from flowing in between the lower edge and the lower edge of the suction opening 5. A strainer 8 for removing dirt is housed below the suction opening 5 in the dirt removing box part 3.
The strainer 8 can be taken out from the front of the dust removal box part 3, and the strainer 8 can be taken out from the dust removal box part 3 to clean the adhering dirt. In addition, a suction port 9 is provided on the back side of the scale removal box section 3, and after the bath water in the scale removal box section 3 passes through a strainer 8 to remove scale, it passes through the suction port 9 into the scale removal box. It is taken out of section 3.
Further, a pipe 10 extends from the suction port 9 toward the back of the shaving box part 3, and this pipe 10 penetrates the mounting wall surface 2 of the bathtub 1 and extends outside the bathtub 1. . Although not shown, a pump is connected to the pipe 10 and sucks the bath water from the suction port 9, and the clean bath water from which scale has been removed is returned to the bathtub 1. Since the bath water in the scale removal box part 3 is sucked through the suction port 9, the bath water level in the scale removal box part 3 is lower than the bath water level in the bathtub 1 by h. For this reason, the bath water on the surface with scales floating over the upper end of the float 6 flows into the scale removal box part 3, and after the scales are removed by the strainer 8, it is returned to the bathtub 1 through the suction port 9. It is. here,
Since the suction opening 5 is provided on the side surface of the dust removal box part 3, even if the length of the float 6 becomes longer, the length of the dust removal box part 3 in the direction along the mounting wall surface 2 will only increase. , the protrusion length will not increase. In addition, since the suction openings 5 are opened on both sides of the scale removal box part 3, the bath water can be efficiently drawn into the scale removal box part 3 regardless of whether the flow on the surface of the bath water is clockwise or counterclockwise. It can be sucked inside. What is shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 is another example of the present invention. In this embodiment, a suction opening 5 is opened only on one side 4 of the dust removal box part 3 that is perpendicular to the mounting wall surface 2, and the lower end of the float 6 is rotatably supported at the lower end of the suction opening 5. It has been done. The bath water in the scale removal box part 3 is cleaned of scale by a strainer 8 and then sucked by a pump from the suction port 9, and then passes through the scale removal box part 3 and opens at the front of the scale removal box part 3. It is discharged into the bathtub 1 again from the discharge port 11.

[Effect of the idea]

Since the present invention is constructed as described above, even if the length of the float is long, the dirt removal box that houses the float only becomes longer along the mounting wall of the bathtub, and does not protrude from the mounting wall of the bathtub, so that the protruding dirt removal box is unlikely to interfere with bathing or hit the body of the bather. In addition, since the float can be made longer without increasing the protruding length of the dirt removal box, the float can follow the water well even when there is a large difference in water level between when bathing and when not bathing. In addition, the width of the float is almost equal to the width in the direction perpendicular to the mounting wall of the dirt removal box, so that bath water below the water surface that does not contain much dirt does not flow into the dirt removal box from both sides of the float, weakening the suction force of the bath water on the surface where the dirt has floated.
