Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[Industrial field of application] The present invention is capable of
Concerning energy-saving and water-saving type heaters for baths that have a water-saving type heater that effectively reuses water by heating and filtering while circulating continuously for 24 hours a day, especially soap, shampoo, etc. The heating device which can put the bathroom equipment of.

[Prior art]

Many types of soap bars used in baths are commercially available. For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 56-8551 discloses a bath accessory box. These pedestals have water holes formed in the bottom or are net-like.

[Problems to be solved by the device]

The table of this structure is not good at draining soap etc.
The soap contains a lot of water and becomes swollen. In this state, the soap cannot be used as a whole without any waste, which has the drawback of shortening the period of use. It is considered that the table on which the soap or the like is placed has a large number of water passage holes on the bottom so that the water can be smoothly drained. However, in practice, the pedestal of this construction has water at the bottom, which causes the soap to swell. The reason why water cannot be drained smoothly from the bottom water hole is the surface tension of water.
This is because a water film is formed in a state of closing the water passage hole, and the water film closes the water passage hole. Unfortunately, soapy water has the property of forming a water film more easily than water. This is because soap, which is a surfactant, reduces the surface tension of water. For this reason,
Water that adheres to soap is difficult to drain smoothly. The bottom of the soap box is often formed in a grid shape for better drainage, and water holes are often provided between the grids. However, even with this structure, sufficient drainage cannot be expected,
In the bathroom, the bottom of the soap box is always water and the soap is swollen. Furthermore, the extremely humid environment in the bathroom also contributes to the swelling of the soap. Further, Japanese Utility Model Laid-Open No. 52-84337 discloses a gas bath pot with a hot water supply device, which is provided with a pipe cover that covers water supply and water supply pipes and opens on the side and back sides, and a washbasin and the like can be placed on the cover. To be done. The gas bath kettle with a hot-water supply device described in this publication uses the pipe cover as a stand for bathroom utensils such as soap, so the soap and the like placed here are heated and become a dry environment. However, the soap and the like placed on the pipe cover are dried by heat only when using the bathtub. There is no special exception that the gas bath with water heater operates continuously for 24 hours. This is because the gas is wasted. In the gas bath with water heater, the burner does not ignite when it is not used for bath and hot water supply. For this reason, this device cannot keep the bathroom utensil such as soap and the like dry for 24 hours. This device was developed with the object of solving the above drawbacks, and the important purpose of this device is to dry the bathroom utensils, such as soap, which are prone to swelling, by continuously draining them for 24 hours. It is to provide a warming device for a bath that can be placed in an environment that is easy to do. Another important object of the present invention is to effectively use a heater for heating hot water as a heat source for drying bathroom equipment, and to require a special heat source to make the bathroom equipment dry easily. Save power consumption for dry environment,
Another object of the present invention is to provide a warming device for a bath, in which soap is less likely to swell and which has a high effect of removing water for a long time without using a bath. Furthermore, another important object of the present invention is that the hot water circulation pump is built in below the mounting table, so that the heat generation of the continuously operated motor and the slight vibration of the circulation pump driven by the motor cause the draining effect. It is to provide a heating device for a bath that is enhanced.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The heating device for the bath of this invention has a heater 6 inside.
And a circulation pump 4 which continuously operates hot water heated by the heater 6 for 24 hours and a filter which removes dirt in the hot water, and a bathtub through two circulation pipes 2. 3 is connected to 3 to continuously circulate hot water in the bath to heat and filter. On the upper surface of the casing 7, a platform 8 for bathroom equipment such as soap and shampoo is provided. This mounting table 8 has a partition wall 8A around it so that bathroom utensils such as soap can be stably mounted, and a drainage channel 8B for draining accumulated water is provided in a part of the partition wall 8A. It is provided. Further, the upper surface of the platform 8 is inclined horizontally or in a slightly downward slope toward the drainage channel 8B so that water can be smoothly discharged from the drainage channel 8B.

A drainage channel 8B is provided. For this reason, the bath warming device of the present invention can stably place slippery soap or the like on the casing 7, and effectively utilize the heat generated by the heater 6 and the circulation pump 4 to wash the soap. It has the feature that it can be placed in a dry environment. The mounting table 8 provided on the upper surface of the casing 7 is heated by the heater 6 incorporated therein and the heat generated by the circulation pump 4. The heater 6 built in the casing 7 continuously heats the hot water in the bathtub for 24 hours a day. An ordinary type heater with a large heating value of 300 to 600 W is used. More conveniently, the heater 6 of the heating device is
Warm water is heated to the set temperature even in the middle of the night when there is no bathing. Therefore, the soap on the table 8 provided above the heater 6 is constantly heated by the heater 6 having a high heat generation amount and placed in a dry environment. In particular, soap is dried for a long time from midnight after bathing to the next day, and during this time the soap is prevented from absorbing water and swelling, and preventing the soap from being wasted. It can be used effectively. The circulation pump 4 built in the casing 7 is usually 100
It is driven by a motor of ~ 150W. Dozens of percent of the electric power consumed by the motor is dissipated as heat, and this heat makes the bathroom fixture on the platform 8 a dry environment.

[Effect of device]

The bath warming device of the present invention utilizes the micro-vibration of the circulation pump continuously operated for 24 hours and the heat generated in the casing to drain and dry the bathroom equipment such as soap. The environment. The mounting table provided on the upper surface of the casing is heated by both the built-in heater and the heat generated by the circulation pump. In particular, the heating device of the present application does not operate the circulation pump only when using the bath. 24 circulation pumps
It is operated continuously for hours. This is to supplement the bacteria in the filter with oxygen and food. Built-in heater is 24
Warm warm water to the set temperature. Hot water is never cooled. Therefore, the circulation pump and the built-in heater continue to heat the mounting table all day through hot water. The power consumption of the heater is as large as 300 to 600 W and generates a considerable amount of heat. The heater heats the platform even at midnight when the bath is not in use. The heated table is used as a dry environment for the external environment of the bathroom equipment placed here. This is because the higher the temperature, the lower the relative humidity and the easier it is to dry. The bath warming device of the present invention warms the platform all day long and keeps the bathroom utensil in a dry environment for a long time from midnight after bathing until the next day. Therefore, when soap is placed on the table, it is prevented from absorbing water and swelling. As in the conventional device, a device that heats the platform only when using a bath has a limited time in which a bathroom utensil such as soap can be placed in a dry environment. Therefore, if there is water between the table and soap,
When you don't use the bath, you can't heat the soap into a dry environment. For this reason, the water accumulated under the soap dissolves a part of the soap, and swells a part of the soap to waste as wasteful. Further, the bath heating device of the present invention has a feature that water accumulated on the mounting table can be efficiently discharged and drained to form a dry environment. This is because the mount is tilted horizontally or downwardly toward the drainage channel, and the mount is vibrated continuously by the circulation pump for 24 hours. The circulation pump built in the casing is fixed via rubber or the like for vibration damping in order to reduce vibration. The anti-vibration rubber does not completely absorb the vibration of the circulation pump. The vibration of the motor causes the casing to vibrate slightly via the rubber for vibration isolation, and the casing vibrates the mounting table. The vibration of the platform effectively drains the water adhering to the bathroom equipment to drain the water. The slightly vibrated table allows the water accumulated above to flow down smoothly from the horizontally or downwardly inclined table toward the drainage channel. The conventional bathtub storage box is neither vibrated nor heated. Even if the drainage hole is opened on the bottom of the bath accessory storage box that is not vibrated, all the water cannot be drained quickly. In particular, the water on which soap is placed and the soap is dissolved does not drain smoothly, and accumulates between the soap and the table. This water causes the soap to dissolve, swell, and be wasted. The bath heating device of the present invention is characterized in that the mounting table is slightly vibrated by the circulation pump so that water can be efficiently discharged from the drainage channel. Drain water efficiently for 24 hours continuously,
The dry circulation is an important feature unique to the bath heating device of the present invention. Furthermore, the notable features of the bath heating device of the present application are:
There is no special energy consumption in order to make bathroom equipment such as soap into a "drying and dry environment". By effectively utilizing the micro-vibration of the circulation pump that operates continuously for 24 hours, we have realized a "draining environment" that makes it easier to drain the water on the platform, and also by effectively utilizing the heat of the circulation pump and the heater for "drying" This is because it is the "environment". Therefore, the device of the present application consumes no electric energy in order to make the bathroom utensil a dry environment. Moreover, there is a feature that the bathroom equipment can be dried 24 hours a day. In addition to this,
There is also a feature that a narrow bath can be effectively used as an organizing box because a platform with a partition wall is installed on the case of the bath heating device. The heater built into the bath heating device of the present invention is
Warm the air and platform through warm water. The heat generated by the circulation pump motor effectively heats the platform. A motor having a power consumption of 100 to 150 W is used for the circulation pump. Dozens of percent of the power consumed by the motor is dissipated as heat. Since the circulation pump is continuously operated for 24 hours, the surface temperature becomes so high that it cannot be touched by hand, and the amount of heat generated is considerably increased. The heat generated by the motor heats the platform and heats the bathroom equipment placed on the platform to create a dry environment.
