Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a bath water circulating apparatus for forcibly circulating bath water to eject filtered and activated bath water again into the bath.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there is known a bathtub hot water circulation device that forcibly circulates the bathtub hot water to remove foreign matters and jets the bathtub hot water into the bathtub again (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-74886). This bathtub hot water circulation device is configured by, for example, a combination of elements as shown in FIG. That is, in FIG. 3, reference numeral 1 is an inlet unit, which has a built-in hair catcher for catching hair or the like in the bathtub. Further, reference numeral 2 is a water inlet hose for sucking the bath water into the circulation portion by the suction force from the pump 3, and reference numeral 4 is a heater for keeping the suctioned bath water at a desired temperature. Further, reference numeral 5 is a filtration tank in which a filter 6, a filter material 7 and an activated carbon 8 are laminated. The filter 6 in the filtration tank 5 removes relatively large dust and hair from the bath water. Further, the filter material 7 and the activated carbon 8 in the filtration tank 5 remove fine dust, dirt, odor, fungus bodies, organic substances, fat and the like in the bath water. Further, reference numeral 9 is an ozone generator for generating ozone, and the ozone from this ozone generator 9 is discharged as bubbles from the jet nozzle 10 to perform sterilization.

Further, reference numeral 11 is a water outlet hose for discharging the filtered and activated bath water into the bath again by the pressure of the pump, and reference numeral 12 is an air hose, and the air taken in from the outside is this air. It is sent from the hose 12 to the hose holder 13 which is a connection point with the water outlet hose. In the hose holder 13, the bath water from the water outlet hose and the air from the air hose 12 are mixed to form a jet stream containing bubbles, which are jetted from the jet nozzle 10. Further, reference numeral 14 is a control panel for the user to control the bath water circulating device, reference numeral 15 is a filter tank lid for sealing the filter tank 5, reference numeral 16 is a top cover, and reference numeral 17 is a fall. It is a fall switch for detecting.

Next, FIG. 4 is a partial perspective view showing a state in which such a bath water circulating apparatus is attached to the bath. In FIG. 4, a body 20 of the bath water circulation device is attached to a bath 21. The suction port unit 1 protruding from the body 20 of the bath water circulation device is soaked in the hot water 22 of the bath 21 to suck the bath hot water. Further, the jet nozzle 10 is immersed in the bath water 22. From the jet nozzle 10, hot water filtered and reactivated by a circulating device is jetted into the bath water 22.

[0005]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, in such a conventional bath hot water circulation device, while the bath hot water is being vigorously ejected from the jet nozzle 10 by the relatively strong pressure from the pump 3, the bath water may be misused by a mischief such as a child taking a bath. In some cases, the opening of the jet nozzle 10 may be blocked by a hand or the like. In this way, if the opening of the jet nozzle 10 is blocked by a hand, etc., the bath water that has been vigorously delivered toward the spout will completely block the outlet. However, the water pressure from the spout to the circulation part such as a pump suddenly rises. In that case, this sudden rise in water pressure causes problems such as the water outlet hose 11 falling out, the device stopping, and equipment such as pumps malfunctioning. Was there.

The present invention has been devised to solve such a conventional problem. Even when a child or the like blocks the mouth of the jet nozzle with his hand or the like by mischief, the water outlet hose. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bathtub hot water circulation device which can avoid a situation in which 11 is disengaged or a pump or the like is broken.

[0007]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above object, a bathtub hot water circulation device according to the present invention has a hot water intake section for inhaling the bathtub hot water, a circulation section for circulating the inhaled bathtub hot water, and a circulating bathtub hot water opened in the bathtub. It is characterized in that it comprises a spout portion to be spouted from the spout, and that at least one notch is formed at the opening end of the spout.

[0008]

[Action]

 As described above, in the bathtub hot water circulation device according to the present invention, at least one notch is formed at the opening end of the spout, so that a child or the like can mischievously play a spout (jet). Even if the open end of the nozzle is blocked with your hands, the hot water from the circulation unit (pump, etc.) is vigorously sent out to the outside of the spout through the cutout. Become. Therefore, as in the conventional method, the outlet of the bathtub sent to the spout completely closed the outlet, so the water pressure from the spout to the circulation part suddenly increased, the water outlet hose came off, and equipment such as pumps failed. Inconveniences such as will be avoided.

[0009]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below based on the illustrated embodiments. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a jet nozzle (spout mouth) of a bath water circulating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a side view of the jet nozzle. 1 and 2, the overall structure of the bath water circulating apparatus of this embodiment is substantially the same as that shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, four notches 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d are formed in the open end 32 of the jet nozzle 31 connected to the water outlet hose 11 by the connecting portion 30. Is provided. The jet nozzle 31 is made of resin, and the notches 32a, 32b, 32c and 32d are formed integrally with the jet nozzle 31. The configuration of this embodiment other than the jet nozzle 31 is the same as that of the conventional bathtub hot water circulation device described in detail with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4, and therefore description thereof is omitted here.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the four cutouts 32 a, 32 b, 32 c, 32 d are formed in the open end 32 of the jet nozzle 31. Therefore, even when the open end 32 of the jet nozzle 31 is blocked by a hand or the like by a mischief such as a child when the bath water is being actively delivered from the circulation portion to the jet nozzle 31, the delivered bath water A large portion of the notch 32a, 32b, 32c, 32d is discharged to the outside. Therefore, even if the opening end 32 of the jet nozzle 31 is blocked by a hand or the like, the water pressure inside the bathtub hot water circulation device is prevented from suddenly rising, and the bathtub hot water delivered under the conventional pressure is completely discharged. The outlet is blocked at this time, and the water pressure inside the device suddenly rises, and the inconveniences such as falling out of the water outlet hose 11, stopping of the device, and failure of equipment such as pumps are effectively avoided. In addition, in the present embodiment, four notches 32a, 32b, 32c, 2d are formed in the open end portion 32 of the jet nozzle 31, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the spout It goes without saying that the number of notches formed in the open end may be a single number or an arbitrary plural number.

[0008]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, in the bathtub hot water circulation device according to the present invention, at least one notch is formed at the opening end of the spout, so that a child or the like can misuse the spout (jet nozzle). ) Is blocked by your hands, etc., a considerable part of the hot water in the bathtub that is vigorously sent out from the circulation part (including the pump) is discharged from the cutout to the outside of the spout. Become. Therefore, as in the past, the bath water sent to the spout completely closed the outlet, so the water pressure from the spout to the circulation part suddenly increased and the water outlet hose came off. Inconveniences such as obstacles can be avoided.
