DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bath tub water circulating purifier for circulating and purifying bath water, and a circulating purifying method.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional bath tub water circulating / purifying apparatus suctions water from a bath tub with a pump, passes the sucked water from the bath tub through a purification tank, purifies the water, and returns the water to the bath tub.

[0003]

However, in the conventional bath water circulation purifying apparatus, the purified bath water returned to the bath is discharged straight into the bath, so that the water flow in the bath becomes constant. There is a problem that slimming (such as fat coming out of the human body during bathing) easily adheres to the inner wall of the bathtub.

[0004] The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and has as its object to provide a bath water circulation purifying apparatus to which slime is less likely to adhere.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and the invention according to claim 1 comprises a pump and a bathtub provided on the suction side of the pump. Bathtub water circulation provided with a purification tank for purifying water in the bathtub in a piping path consisting of a suction pipe that sucks water and a discharge pipe that is piped to the discharge side of the pump and returns the water discharged from the pump to the bathtub In the purifying apparatus, a discharge section is provided on an outlet side of the discharge pipe, and the discharge section includes a vortex generating mechanism for swirling water discharged from the discharge pipe and jetting the water into the bath tub. It is a water circulation purification device.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for circulating and purifying water in a bathtub, wherein the water in the bathtub is sucked by a pump, and the sucked water is purified by a purification tank and returned to the bathtub. A method for circulating and purifying bathtub water, wherein the bathtub is jetted to a bathtub through a vortex generating mechanism for swirling the bathtub.

[0007]

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the water returning to the bathtub is jetted into the bathtub through a vortex generating mechanism for swirling the water, so that the water flow in the bathtub swirls and slicks the inner wall of the bathtub. (E.g., fat from the human body during bathing) is less likely to adhere.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of the present invention, which is a bathtub water circulation purification device attached to a bathtub. In the figure, 1 is a bathroom, 2 is a bathtub, 3 is a pump, 4 is a suction pipe, 42 is a suction port, 5 is a discharge pipe, 51 is a discharge part, 52 is a rotating blade, 6 is a septic tank, 7 is a bubble generator, 71 is an air regulating valve, 72 is an air introduction pipe, 73 is an air delivery pipe, 74 is a control section, 75 is an input section, 76 is an input wiring, and 77 is a control wiring.

As shown in the figure, a bathroom 1 is provided with a bathtub 2 filled with bathtub water. The bathtub 2 is provided with a bathtub water circulation / purification device provided with a purifying tank 6 for purifying bathtub water in the bathtub 2 in a piping route including a pump 3, a suction pipe 4, and a discharge pipe 5. . One end of the suction pipe 4 is connected to a suction port 42 attached below the bathtub 2, and the other end of the suction pipe 4 is connected to the inlet side of the purification tank 6. Reference numeral 41 denotes a connecting pipe connecting the suction side of the pump 3 and the outlet side of the septic tank 6.

One end of the discharge pipe 5 is connected to a discharge part 51 mounted above the bathtub 2, and the other end is connected to the discharge side of the pump 2. The discharge section 51 is provided with a rotary blade 52 at the outlet of the passage, and bathtub water discharged from the discharge pipe 5 hits the rotary blade 52 so that the rotary blade 5
2 rotates to generate a vortex. Also,
An air delivery pipe 73 of the bubble generator 7 described later is connected to the discharge unit 51, and the air drawn from the air delivery pipe 73 joins the bathtub water, and this air becomes bubbles to form the bathtub water together with the bathtub water. 2, the ink is discharged while swirling.

The bubble generating device 7 includes an air regulating valve 71 and an air introducing pipe 72 connected to the inlet side of the air regulating valve 71.
And an air delivery pipe 73 connected to the outlet side. The amount of air for generating bubbles is changed by controlling the opening / closing amount of the air regulating valve 71. The opening / closing amount control of the air regulating valve 71 is controlled by a control signal from a control unit 74, and the control unit 74 is controlled by an input signal from an input unit 75 installed in the bathroom 1. Reference numeral 76 denotes an input line connecting the input unit 75 and the control unit 74, and reference numeral 77 denotes a control line connecting the control unit 74 and the air adjustment valve 71.

Next, a method of using the circulating purification apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. When the pump 3 is operated, bathtub water is sucked through the suction port 42, passes through the suction pipe 4, and is purified by removing water scale and dust contained in the bathtub water in the septic tank 6. The cleaned bathtub water is discharged from the pump 3 and sent to the discharge section 51 via the discharge pipe 5. Here, the bathtub water is discharged into the bathtub 2 while drawing air from the air delivery pipe 73 by the needle effect of the bathtub water passing through the discharge unit 51. At this time, the bathtub water is swirled by the rotating blades 52 of the discharge unit 51 and discharged into the bathtub 2, and at the same time, bubbles are generated in the bathtub.

When the amount of generated bubbles is large or small, an input signal is sent from an input unit 75 provided in the bathroom 1, and a control signal is sent to an air regulating valve 71 by a control unit 74 to determine the amount of opening and closing of the valve. Adjust to adjust the amount of bubbles generated.

According to the bathtub water circulation / purification apparatus of this embodiment, the bathtub water returned to the bathtub 2 is swirled to form a bathtub 2.
Slime (e.g., fat from the human body during bathing) does not easily adhere to the inner wall of the bathtub. In addition, since the bubble generation device 7 that can arbitrarily adjust the amount of generated bubbles is connected to and attached to the discharge unit 51, the amount of generated bubbles can be adjusted to a desired amount and a comfortable bath can be performed.

[0015]

According to the first and second aspects of the present invention, the water returning to the bathtub is ejected to the bathtub through the vortex generating mechanism for swirling the water, so that the water flow in the bathtub is swirled and the water in the bathtub is swirled. Slime (e.g., fat from the human body during bathing) does not easily adhere to the inner wall. In addition, a massage effect on the human body is produced by the spiral water flow, so that a comfortable bathing environment can be realized.
