Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a jet bath device for realizing a comfortable bath.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional jet bath device of this type is shown in FIGS. In the figure, 1 is a bathtub, 2 is a jet outlet provided in the bathtub for blowing out water mixed with gas, 3 is a suction port for sucking water, 4 is a pump for sucking water from the suction port 3 and jetting it from the jet port 2 (only in FIG. 6). 5) is a suction pipe that connects the suction port 3 and the pump 4, 6 is a spout pipe that connects the spout 2 and the pump 4, and 7 is an air adjustment valve that adjusts the amount of air to the spout. In FIG. 9, 8 is a water inlet, 9 is a nozzle for narrowing the flow of water to increase the flow velocity,
Reference numeral 10 is a fixing member for fixing the nozzle 9, 11 is a flow guide for changing the direction of the jetted flow, and 12 is a jet outlet cover. 13 is a packing for sealing between the bathtub and 1
Reference numeral 4 is an air inlet, and 15 is a mixing portion of air and water.

In the above structure, when the pump 4 is operated, water is sucked through the suction port 3, passes through the pipes 5 and 6, and enters the water inlet 8 of the jet port 2. This water is squeezed by the nozzle 9 and becomes high speed to induce the air entering from the jet air inlet 14 to become water mixed with air and enter the flow guide, whereby the jetting direction is changed and the bathtub is changed. Gushes into.

[0004]

However, in the above-mentioned structure, since the temperature of the hot water spouted from the spout is always constant, the body adapts to the stimulus and is effective if it is exposed to the jet for a long time. There was a problem that it could not be obtained sufficiently. The present invention is to solve such conventional problems, by enabling the introduction of steam instead of air, it is possible to arbitrarily change the temperature of the hot water to be ejected, it is possible to obtain sufficient stimulation by the thermal effect. It makes it possible.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a jet bath device of the present invention comprises a bathtub, a jet port for blowing out water containing air, and a suction port for sucking water. A pump that sucks water from the suction port and jets the water from the jet port; and an air adjustment valve that adjusts the amount of air mixed into the jet port, and introduces steam from a heat source device to the jet port. A steam introducing passage is provided, and a steam adjusting valve for adjusting the amount of steam is provided in the steam introducing passage.

Further, the air adjusting valve and the steam adjusting valve are alternately opened and closed.

Further, a water temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the bathtub is provided, and the opening of the steam adjusting valve is adjusted by detecting the signal of the water temperature sensor.

[0008]

According to the present invention, with the above-described structure, it is possible to change the temperature of water mixed with air, which is blown out from the ejection port, by mixing steam, and to arbitrarily set the degree of irritation to the human body. is there.

Further, by arranging the air adjusting valve and the steam adjusting valve to be opened and closed alternately, temperature stimuli are alternately generated, and new stimuli can always be obtained. Further, by providing a water temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the bathtub and detecting the signal of the water temperature sensor to adjust the opening of the steam adjusting valve, it is possible to obtain a reheating function by steam. Become.

[0010]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 to 15 are the same as in the conventional example. Reference numeral 16 denotes a steam control valve, which controls the amount of steam (which is introduced from a steam generator provided outside) introduced from the steam introduction pipe 17. And this steam introduction pipe 1
7 communicates with the air passage 18. Reference numeral 19 is a knob for opening and closing the steam control valve 16.

In the above structure, when the knob 19 is operated to close the steam control valve 16, the air adjusting valve 7 is adjusted in the same manner as in the conventional example to adjust the amount of air mixed into the jet flow discharged from the jet outlet 2. Can be adjusted.
In this state, when the steam control valve 16 is opened, the air and steam are mixed and come out from the ejection port 2,
The temperature of the air in the jet stream is increased.
That is, the result is the same as the temperature of the jet flow rising. Further, if the steam control valve 16 is opened with the air adjusting valve 7 closed, a jet stream mixed with high temperature steam can be blown out, and a jet stream having a higher temperature can be obtained. As a result, the temperature of the jet jet can be changed arbitrarily, and when the jet is applied to the acupuncture points of the human body to promote health, a superior effect can be obtained by the effect of the hot jet. .

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, solenoid valves 20 and 21 are provided.
And control circuit 23 (which is communicated by signal lines 24 and 25) to control steam and air flow rates in FIG.
By alternately changing the temperature as shown by A and B in FIG. 3, the temperature of the jet flow is alternately changed as shown by A and B in FIG. It will be a source of inspiration.

Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a water temperature sensor 26 for detecting the water temperature in the bathtub is provided on the inner surface of the bathtub 1, and the signal of the water temperature sensor 26 is detected by a control circuit 27 connected by a signal line 28. As shown in FIG. 5, the opening of the steam adjusting valve 20 is adjusted so as to change the spray amount of steam according to the difference in set temperature, so that the hot water temperature in the bathtub is kept constant at the set temperature by adjusting the steam amount. It becomes possible to obtain the reheating function.

[0015]

As described above, according to the jet bath device of the present invention, the following effects can be obtained. (1) A steam introduction passage for introducing steam by a heat source device or the like is provided in the jet outlet, and a steam adjustment valve for adjusting the amount of steam is provided in the steam introduction passage, so that water mixed with air blown out from the jet outlet is mixed. The temperature is changed by mixing steam, and the degree of irritation to the human body can be arbitrarily set. As a result, when a jet is applied to the acupoints of the human body to promote health, a superior effect can be obtained by the effect of the hot jet. (2) By alternately opening and closing the air adjustment valve and the steam adjustment valve, temperature stimuli are alternately generated, and new stimuli can always be obtained. (3) By providing a water temperature sensor for detecting the water temperature in the bathtub and detecting the signal of the water temperature sensor to adjust the opening of the steam adjusting valve, it is possible to obtain a reheating function by steam.
