Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a bathtub which generates Karman vortes with the human body as a flag body while the user is bathing and vibrates subcutaneous fat and muscles using a flattering phenomenon that the Karman vortes bring about. CONSTITUTION:A partition plate 1 is disposed within a bathtub 10 with a predetermined interval from the bottom portion 10a of the bathtub 10 and in parallel to the bottom portion 10a. The upper and lower portions of the partition plate 1 are communicated with each other at the front A and rear B of the bathtub 10 and hot water(or cold water)2 in the bathtub 10 can be circulated as shown by the arrows. The flow of water created by a fan 3 is allowed to enter the bathtub 10 through a protective plate 4 and applied to the bather 5 and generates Karman vortes alternately on both sides of the bather 5 and the subcutaneous fat and muscles of the bather are vibrated by a flattering phenomenon intermittently acting on the side portion of the bather 5 alternately.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a main part for explaining an embodiment of a bathtub with a Karman vortex flow generator according to the present invention. In the figure, 10 is a bathtub, and inside the bathtub 10 is a bathtub. The partition plate 1 is arranged in parallel with the bottom portion 10a at a predetermined distance from the bottom portion 10a. The partition plate 1 has an upper part and a lower part which communicate with each other on the front part A side and the rear part B side of the bathtub, and the bath water (hot water or water) 2 in the bathtub 10 is as shown by an arrow in the figure. It can be returned in the bathtub 10. 3 is a fan provided in the front part of the bath 10 and 4 is a protective plate arranged in front of the fan 2.
A water flow is generated in the bathtub. The protective plate 4 prevents a person taking a bath from touching the fan 3 while the fan 3 is rotating, and is actually a mesh plate having many holes.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the flow of hot water (or water) when a person 5 is bathing in the bathtub 10 as described above. As described above, it is formed by the fan 3 and the protective plate 4. The water stream 6 hits the human body 5 while taking a bath and generates a Karman vortex 7. The Karman vortex 7 is a vortex that the human body 5 acts as a flag body with respect to the water flow 6 and is alternately generated on both sides thereof. As is well known, the fluid flowing on the side portion of the flag body (human body) is discharged from the flag body. It occurs when peeling.

As described above, according to the present invention, the human body during bathing is used as a flag body to generate a Karman vortex, and when the Karman vortex is generated, the flutter that alternately acts on the side of the bather intermittently (pulse-like). By utilizing the ring phenomenon, the subcutaneous fat and muscles of the bather are vibrated.

As described above, in order to vibrate the subcutaneous fat and muscle vigorously by utilizing the fluttering phenomenon, the flow rate in the bathtub must be set to a considerably high speed. However, in reality, a flow velocity of about 3-5 m / s is required. However, when considering a bathtub for general household use, it is not a good idea to make the bathtub too large, and practically it is a good idea to make the upper part of the partition plate 1 as wide as possible and the lower part as narrow as possible. Is. But,
In the case of such a configuration, the flow path on the lower side of the partition plate 1 is narrow, and therefore the fluid resistance in this portion is large, so that it is difficult to obtain the above-mentioned high flow velocity on the upper side of the partition plate 1. Is.

In FIG. 1, the fan 8 provided in the return flow path below the partition plate 1 is for solving the above-mentioned problems, and as shown in the drawing, the fan 8 below the partition plate 1 is provided. If a forced return fan 8 is provided in the flow passage and the flow velocity in the return flow passage is increased, ideally, the flow rate per unit time flowing through the upper part of the partition plate 1 and the unit flow rate flowing under the partition plate 1 per unit time. If the flow rates are equalized, the fluid resistance is small, and therefore a large flow velocity can be obtained more effectively without using a large fan 3. In this way, if the fluid velocity can be increased, not only a strong fluttering phenomenon can be obtained, but also a high-pressure water stream can be applied to the human body while bathing, and a massage effect due to this high-pressure water stream is also expected. be able to.
