Next, the operation of the bathtub with the dust collecting function configured as described above will be described. When the cleaning pump 7 is driven, the hot water in the bath 1 is sucked through the cleaning suction port 4 and is discharged from the cleaning discharge port 5 to the upper portion in the bath 1. At this time, the cleaning discharge port 5
Dust suction port 2 through opening 16 when hot water is discharged from
The dust on the surface of the molten metal is sucked together with the hot water, and reaches the filter chamber 9 through the dust collecting cylinder 8 and the communication pipe 10, and the filter chamber 9
Dust is collected by the cleaning filter 11 inside, and hot water from which dust has been removed is discharged from the cleaning discharge port 5. The circulation pump 23 is also driven at the same time when the dust is removed,
The hot water in the lower part of the bathtub 1 is sucked from the circulation suction port 21 and is discharged from the circulation discharge port 3 at a slow speed, and the discharge of the slow speed hot water from the circulation discharge port 3 causes the surface of the molten metal to be cleaned from the end wall 1b side. The dust is sent to the end wall 1a side and sucked into the dust suction port 2 to collect the dust on the entire surface of the bath 1. When a large amount of dirt is collected in the cleaning filter 11 that collects dirt, the lid 13 is removed, the cleaning filter 11 is removed from the filter chamber 9, and the cleaning filter 11 is washed or replaced. Further, since the collection cylinder cover 15 is provided with a horizontally long elongated hole-shaped opening 16, it has a wide width in the horizontal direction and is easy to suck hot water in the vicinity of the dirty metal surface, resulting in a high cleaning effect. The collecting cylinder cover 15 can be easily removed by putting a finger on the cover 16. That is, as shown in FIG. 5 (b), notches 16 'are formed on both sides of the vertical piece 15b of the collecting cylinder cover 15.
When the cutout 16 'is provided, since the cutout 16' is vertically long, it is difficult to suck hot water near the surface of the molten metal, and the cutout cannot be made too large in appearance, so that it is difficult to hold the collection cylinder cover 15 by hand. When the opening 16 is a long hole that is long in the horizontal direction as shown in (a), it is possible to effectively suck in the hot water in the vicinity of the hot water surface and to easily remove the collecting cylinder cover 15.
Further, since the circulation outlets 3 are on both sides of the end wall 1b, the hot water discharged from the circulation outlets 3 does not hit the back of the bather, and the dust is smoothly sent to the dust suction port 2 without being disturbed by the bather. Further, as shown in FIG. 7, when the circulation outlet 3 is provided with a nozzle 26 whose angle can be freely changed, the direction of the hot water discharged from the circulation outlet 3 can be changed, and the height of the molten metal in the bathtub 1 can be increased. Even if the temperature fluctuates a little, the hot water on the hot water surface can be sent to the dust suction port 2 by the nozzle 26. Further, when the direction of the hot water discharged from the nozzle 26 is directed toward the shoulder of the bather, the hot water sent at a slow speed is applied to the shoulder to loosen the muscles of the shoulder and contribute to recovery from fatigue.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention has the circulation discharge port at the other end of the bath for discharging the circulating hot water in order to send the dust to the dust suction port side at one end of the bathtub at a slow speed. It is possible to send dirt from the side opposite to the dirt suction port of the bathtub to the dirt suction port side, suck it in with the dirt suction port and collect it, even if there is a dirt suction port at one end side of the bathtub It is capable of collecting dirt, and in order to send dirt at a slow speed toward the dirt suction opening on one end of the bathtub, a circulation outlet that discharges hot water is attached to the dirt suction opening near the other surface of the bathtub. Since it is installed facing, it is possible to discharge hot water from the circulation outlet located near the surface of the water and send the dirt to the suction side of the dirt at a slow speed, without sinking the dirt floating on the surface of the water. Items that can be collected effectively by slowly collecting dust in the mouth In addition, since the circulating outlet has a nozzle whose angle can be freely changed, the hot water is discharged from the circulating outlet to the molten surface by changing the angle of the nozzle even if the height of the molten metal in the bathtub changes a little. It is possible to collect dust that floats on the surface of the bath more effectively.
