DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings showing an embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention shows a bathtub 1 and a sea lamination layered on the bathtub. Sand 2
And a small cobblestone 3 separated and laminated under the sea sand by a water-permeable sheet 5 and a large cobblestone 4 separated and laminated under the small-particle cobblestone by a water-permeable sheet 6. Pipes 7 and 8 for discharging hot spring water into the lamination of large cobblestone 2 and pipes 9 for discharging hot water into the lamination of large cobblestone are configured to extend.

The bathtub body 1 is a rectangular container made of concrete. As shown in FIG. 2, an animal such as a dog or a cat is subjected to sand bathing, and the sea sand adhering to the animal is removed. A washing place 1a for washing off is provided. The bathtub body may be made of reinforced plastic, stainless steel or the like in addition to concrete.

The sea sand 2 is obtained by removing the salt content of the sea sand on the beach, and is used in a sand steaming hot spring device for dogs, cats and animals of the same size as the above. It is preferable that the depth of 1 is 105 to 130 cm, the sea sand is stacked about 5 cm lower than the upper surface of the bathtub body, and the stacking height A is 60 to 70 cm.

The small cobblestone 3 is a crushed cobblestone for civil engineering of about several millimeters, and is layered under the sea sand by a water-permeable sheet 5 in which a stainless steel mesh of 20 to 30 mesh is doubled. B is preferably between 10 and 15 centimeters.

The large cobblestone 4 is a pumice crushed cobblestone of several centimeters, and is layered under the small cobblestone by a water-permeable sheet 6 in which bamboo aziro is laid out with palms. Preferably it is 40 centimeters.

In the stack of sea sand 2 and large cobblestone 4 formed as described above, a pipe 7 and a pipe 8 for discharging hot spring water are supplied to a hot water supply pipe 10 rising up along the inner wall of the bathtub body. A valve 11 is provided at the entrance of the hot water supply pipe, and valves 12 and 13 are provided by projecting the outlets of the pipes 7 and 8 out of the bathtub body. The valve 11 is connected to a hot spring source. Have been.

A pipe 9 for discharging hot water is connected to a hot water supply pipe 14 rising along the inner wall of the bathtub inside the lamination of the large cobblestones 4, and is extended. A valve 15 is provided at the entrance, and a valve 16 is provided by protruding the outlet of the pipe 9 out of the bathtub body. The valve 16 is connected to a hot water supply facility such as a boiler capable of supplying hot water whose temperature can be adjusted from the valve 15. ing.

The hot-water pipes 7, 8 and the hot-water pipe 9, which can be discharged into the lamination of the sea sand 2 and the lamination of the large cobblestone 4, extend horizontally along the inner wall of the bathtub body 1. In the vicinity of the center of the bathtub body, dig a hole for burying animals such as dogs and cats up to the neck, so leave the pipes unextended and leave them open. Small hole 7 so that hot spring water and hot water are discharged upward
a, 8a and 9a are perforated so that the inside of the layer of sea sand is efficiently steamed. ,

A valve 17 is provided at the bottom of the bathtub body 1 to discharge hot spring water and hot water discharged from the pipes 7, 8 and 9 and accumulated in the bathtub body. As shown in FIG. 2, the washing basin 1a provided in the bathtub body 1 is a container formed with a slightly shallow bottom. The bottom is provided with a drain port 1b, and water is added to hot water supplied from a hot water supply facility such as a boiler. A shower 18 is provided so that the temperature of the animal can be adjusted. After an animal such as a dog or a cat is steamed in the sand and bathed in the sand, if sea sand adheres to the animal, the animal can be washed off.
Also, the shower 18 can adjust hot water by adding water to hot water supplied from a hot water supply facility such as a boiler.

The operation and operation of the present invention constructed as described above will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Hot spring water is supplied from P, and hot water is supplied from Q by adjusting the temperature of hot water by a boiler or other hot water supply equipment. .

The valve 11 at the hot water supply inlet of the hot spring water is opened, and the valves 12, 13, 16 at the outlets of the pipes 7, 8 and 9 are opened.
Then, the valve 17 at the bottom of the bathtub body is closed, hot spring water is stored in the bathtub body, and after overflowing, the valves 12, 1
Open the valves 3 and 16 and the valve 17 at the bottom of the bathtub to discharge the accumulated hot spring water.

The valves 12, 13, and 16 are closed to release hot spring water into the bathtub through a number of small holes 7a and 8a formed in the pipes 7 and 8, and a valve 15 at the hot water inlet.
Is opened, and hot water supplied from a hot water supply facility such as a boiler is discharged from a large number of small holes 9a drilled in the pipe 9 and added to adjust the temperature in the sea sand 2 stacked on the top. .

The hot spring water and the hot water discharged are discharged to the center and upward of the bathtub body, dissipate heat efficiently, flow down to the bottom, and are discharged from the valve 17. The release amount of the hot spring water and the release addition amount of the hot water are adjusted by the valves 11 and 15 according to the amount discharged from the valve 17 so that the hot water does not accumulate in the bathtub.

The temperature in the stack of sea sand 2 is preferably 45 to 48 ° C. for dogs and cats, and when the temperature in the stack is lower than the temperature, the temperature from a hot water supply facility such as a boiler is raised. When the temperature in the stack is high, the temperature of the hot water is lowered. Therefore, the temperature of hot water supplied from a hot water supply facility such as a boiler is approximately 40 to
It can be adjusted in the range of 70 ° C. Note that if an appropriate temperature in the stack can be obtained only by releasing hot spring water, hot water need not be supplied from a hot water supply facility such as a boiler.

The sea sand near the center except the inner edge of the bathtub body is dug, and the animal to be bathed is wrapped with a cloth such as a bath towel, and the neck is buried in the sea sand lamination to bathe for about 15 to 30 minutes. Let it. The animals bathed are reluctant to jump out and feel comfortable and quiet, some yawning and falling asleep.

After bathing, remove the wrapped bath towel and, if sea sand is present, wash it off with a shower 18 (FIG. 2) in a washing room provided with the bathtub and wipe it off with a dry cloth.

[0025]

According to the present invention, sea sand, small cobblestones and large cobblestones are laminated on a bathtub body using a water-permeable sheet, and the temperature can be controlled from hot water supply equipment such as hot spring water and a boiler in the lamination of seasand and large cobblestones. Because hot water is supplied and released, it can be easily implemented in hot springs other than the sand steaming hot springs, and the effects and effects of the sand steaming hot springs can be widely used for dogs, cats and other animals. it can.

Also, sea sand and small cobblestone are separated by a water-permeable sheet in which a stainless steel wire mesh of about 20 to 40 mesh is doubled, and small cobblestone and large cobblestone are separated and laminated by a water-permeable sheet in which bamboo aziro is laid with palms. By releasing hot spring water or hot water from the pipe extending along the inner wall of the bathtub into the lamination, upwardly to the center and upward of the bathtub, the water permeability is improved and There are various effects such as the inside of the sand layer can be efficiently steamed.
