Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial field of application) The present invention relates to a water heater installed in a bathroom for supplying hot water directly into a bathtub.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, various water heaters that directly supply hot water into a bath have been proposed. For example, there is one that supplies high temperature water of about 80 ° C. into the bath to raise the temperature of the bath water. A vacuum break valve was provided 30 cm above the overflow edge of the miscellaneous water to cut off the water circuit and the miscellaneous water circuit.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) However, in the conventional one, the main body of the water heater is installed outdoors, and even if the hot water supply pipe is started up and the vacuum break valve is installed at the upper end, it cannot be seen from the bathroom. There was no problem because. However, if this type of water heater is to be installed in the bathroom, this vacuum break valve will be installed above the bathtub, which is unsightly.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a water heater installed in a bathroom, which is excellent in appearance without showing a vacuum break valve and its piping. .

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, a water heater installed in a bathroom according to the present invention includes a water heater main body installed beside a bathtub and a bathroom equipment member arranged above the water heater main body. A hot water supply pipe that is started inside the bathroom equipment member and has one end connected to the heat exchanger of the hot water supply device and the other end connected to the bathtub, and a vacuum attached to the rising part of the hot water supply pipe and the top of the inverted U-shaped pipe It consists of a destruction valve. In addition, insert a hot water supply pipe with one end connected to the heat exchanger of the water heater and the other end connected to the bathtub into the air supply / exhaust pipe of the water heater protruding outside the bathroom, and pass through the air supply passage to connect A vacuum break valve may be arranged at the top of the rising portion of the hot water supply pipe that is raised from the opening at the tip.

(Function) In the present invention, the bathroom equipment member is installed beside the bathtub of the bathroom and is disposed above the water heater main body for directly supplying hot water into the bathtub, and one end of the bathroom equipment member is set up inside the bathroom equipment member. Hot water supply pipe connected to the heat exchanger and the other end to the bathtub,
By providing a vacuum breaking valve which is a rising part of the hot water supply pipe and is attached to the top of the inverted U-shaped pipe, the vacuum breaking valve and the rising part of the hot water supply pipe to which the vacuum breaking valve is attached are directly visible from the outside. There is no touch and it does not feel harsh while taking a bath, giving it an excellent appearance.

In addition, a water heater main body installed beside the bathtub of the bathroom to supply hot water directly into the bathtub, an air supply / exhaust pipe of the water heater protruding outside the bathroom, and one end inserted into the water supply / exhaust pipe to heat the water heater. Provide a hot water supply pipe connected to the exchanger and the other end to the bathtub, and a vacuum break valve attached to the top of the rising part of the hot water supply pipe that has been started from the opening at the tip of the air supply / exhaust pipe through the air supply passage. As a result, there is no extra protrusion above the bathtub, the interior of the bathroom can be kept clean and widely used, and the number of parts can be reduced by omitting the case of blinding.

(Embodiment) In FIG. 1, (1) is a bathtub body, an upper edge portion (2) is extended in a longitudinal direction, and a mounting portion (4) of an operation case (3) is formed. (5) is a water heater main body, which is arranged below the installation portion (4) beside the bathtub (1). The operation case (3) is provided with an operation part (6) on the bathtub side and a shower hanger (7) on the side end, and an accessory stand (17) in the central part.
Are formed. Reference numeral (8) is an insertion hole for a signal line connecting the water heater body (5) and the operation case (3). (9) is a joint portion of a pipe connected to the water heater body (5). (1
Reference numeral 0) is an apron that covers the bathtub (1), and reference numeral (11) is an inspection lid that is connected to the apron (10) and covers the front of the water heater body (5). (12) is a hot water supply pipe having one end connected to the heat exchanger of the water heater and the other end connected to the bathtub. In the present embodiment, the middle of the hot water supply pipe is erected in an inverted U shape inside the operation case (3). And is the top position of the inverted U-tube. A vacuum break valve (13) is provided 30 cm above the overflow edge (upper edge) (2) of the bathtub (1). (14) is a shower plug,
(15) is a shower head.

Next, an assembly procedure in this configuration will be shown. First bathtub (1)
Hot water supply pipe (12) provided with a vacuum break valve (13), which is placed next to the water heater main body (5) at a speed from the front.
Pipe connection. And the piping to the bathtub (1) is also connected. After the operation case (3) and the signal line are connected, the operation case (3) is placed on the placing section (4). After that, the apron (10) and the inspection lid (11) are attached.

FIG. 2 shows the operation case (3) of FIG.
A case (16) formed with a shower hanger (7) as a bathroom equipment member is installed on a water heater body (5), and a hot water supply pipe (12) provided with a vacuum break valve (13) in the case (16). ) Has been launched. In this case, if the bathtub (1) and the water heater body (5) are separately provided, they can be shipped in an assembled state so that the hot water supply pipe (12) need not be connected at the time of construction. As the bathroom equipment member, in addition to the above-mentioned operation case, accessory stand, and shower hanger case, a storage shelf, a bathtub pillow, or the like may be formed.

In FIG. 3, (17) is an air supply / exhaust tube of the water heater main body (5), which projects outside the bathroom and has an air supply passage (18) and an exhaust passage (19). In the middle of the hot water supply pipe with one end connected to the heat exchanger of the water heater and the other end connected to the bathtub, an inverted U
A vacuum break valve (13) is formed on the top of the inverted U-shape by forming a character part.
Is provided. The hot water supply pipe (12) provided with the vacuum break valve (13) passes through the air supply passage (18) and rises from the opening (20) at the tip of the air supply / exhaust pipe (17).

(Effects of the Invention) Since the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following effects.

Since the vacuum break valve and its hot water supply pipe are arranged in the bathroom equipment member arranged on the water heater main body, these pipe members are not exposed and become unnoticeable during bathing, resulting in an excellent appearance.

Also, with the one housed in the air supply / exhaust cylinder, there is no extra protrusion above the bath tub, and you can feel the inside of the bathroom more spaciously. End
