Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to a bathtub unit including a bathwater circulating device such as a filtering device or a bubble generating device.

<Prior Art> A conventional bathtub unit of this type has, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, a counter 3 and an apron in a state where a bathtub 1 and a circulation device 2 are arranged side by side facing a washing place 6. A decorative plate such as an artificial marble referred to as No. 4 is attached. The apron 4 is divided into left and right parts, and the connection pipe between the bath 1 and the circulation device 2 can be maintained by opening and closing one apron 4.

FIG. 6 shows a specification in which the bathtub 1 is installed on the right side. A cross-sectional plan view and a vertical front view of the same specifications are shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. As shown in the figure, a suction port 9 formed in the lower portion of the side wall surface of the washing area of the bathtub 1 and a suction side pipe 11 provided in the circulation device 2 are a long connecting pipe 10 and a joint arranged along the inner surface of the apron 4. 16 and is connected via a short connecting pipe 13 and a joint 17 to a return port 12 formed in the upper part of the side wall surface of the circulation device of the bath 1 and a circulation side pipe 14 provided in the circulation device 2. ing.

9 and 10 show a cross-sectional plan view and a vertical sectional front view of the specification in which the bathtub 1 is installed on the left side. Regarding this specification, the basic structure is the same as the specification on the right side described above, except that it is a left-right handed difference.

<Problems to be solved by the invention> Conventionally, as can be seen by comparing FIG. 7 of the right side specification with FIG. 9 of the left side specification, in order to facilitate the construction and maintenance, inhalation of any specification The joint 16 that connects the side pipe 11 and the connection pipe 10 is arranged on the apron 4 side. In order to take such an arrangement, it is necessary to prepare two types of the circulation device 2 for exclusive use for each of the right side and the left side in which the projecting position of the suction pipe 11 is different, and the production cost and the management cost. As the cost increases, it may lead to trouble such as delivery mistakes at the construction site.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object thereof is to solve the above-mentioned problems by allowing one type of circulation device to be used for both left side specification and right side specification.

<Means for Solving the Problem> The present invention has the following configuration in order to achieve such an object.

The bathtub unit of the present invention has a bathtub and a circulation device which are arranged side by side facing the washing area and which are connected to each other by a pair of pipes. Is characterized in that a pair of pipes for water supply and recirculation are provided vertically side by side, and a connecting portion of one of the pipes with the circulation device is a rotary joint, and the pipes are configured to be rotatable.

The circulation device here is a filter device or a bubble generating device that takes out water in the bathtub from the bathtub and returns it to the bathtub.

<Operation> According to the configuration of the present invention, even if the circulation device is installed on the left side or the right side of the bathtub, one pipe is located at a fixed distance from the apron, and the other pipe is arranged on the apron side by turning, The connection between each pipe of the circulation device and the bathtub will be arranged near the washing area.

<Example> Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 to 5 show an embodiment of a bath unit according to the present invention. In these figures, 1 is a bath, 2 is a circulation device such as a filtering device or a bubble generating device, 3 is a counter, 4 is an apron, 5 is an outer wall, 6 is a washing room, 7 is a door, and 8 is a mixed caran. 1 and 2 show the specifications in which the bathtub 1 is on the right side, and FIGS. 3 and 4 show the specifications in which the bathtub 1 is on the left side.

As shown in FIG. 5, the circulation device 2 in the present embodiment is provided with a pipe 11 connected to a suction port 9 of the bathtub 1 via a connection pipe 10 at the center of the wall surface facing the bathtub 1 side in the width direction. , A pipe 14 connected to the return port 12 of the bathtub 1 via a connecting pipe 13 is vertically arranged, and the suction pipe 11 located on the lower side in the drawing has a rotary joint 15 at its base. It is possible to turn around the axis P to change the direction. In this embodiment, an L-shaped bent pipe 11 is used as the suction pipe 11.

Then, by swiveling the swirlable suction pipe 11 toward the apron 4 in accordance with the right-side specification and the left-side specification, the joint 16 connected to the suction pipe 11 is connected to the right-side specification and the left-side specification. Instead, it can be easily constructed and maintained.

In the above embodiment, the swirlable pipe 11 is shown for suction, but it may be used for reflux. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the suction port 9 of the bathtub 1 is arranged depending on whether the bathtub 1 is arranged on the right side or the left side.
Although it is necessary to change the formation position of the connection pipe, by devising the shape of the connecting pipe 10, the position of the suction port 9 of the bathtub 1 can be the same regardless of the right side specification and the left side specification.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, according to the present invention, since one kind of circulation device is provided which can be used regardless of the specifications of the bathtub arranged on the left or right side, the construction and maintenance can be easily performed. In addition, the connection part between the bathtub and the circulation device can be located near the washing place. In this way, since it has a circulation device that can be used for both the right side specification and the left side specification,
The manufacturing cost and management cost of the circulation device can be reduced, and the mistake of delivery to the construction site can be eliminated, as compared with the conventional one that requires a circulation device for each of the left and right sides.
