Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize hot water massage pouring economically and safely by equipping a hot water fall port for pouring hot water to the shoulder part of a bather and selectively feeding hot water through a circulation pipe line connecting a suction port and a jet nozzle or a water feed pipe and a hot water feed pipe to the hot water fall port. SOLUTION: Bath water is sucked through a bath water suction port 2 by a pressurizing pump 5 to jet out a jet stream through a jet nozzle 3 when this jet bath is operated by an operation panel 7. Air is sucked through an air intake port 6 into the bath water in a circulation pipe line 4 to become bubbles and is jetted out through a jet nozzle 3 together with the water stream. When the line is switched to the hot water massage pouring operation by the operation panel 7, the bath water sucked through the bath water suction port 2 is jetted out through the hot water fall port 8 to pour on the shoulder, etc., of a bather as massage. The hot water fall port 8 is constituted so that hot water from a water feed pipe 10 and a hot water feed pipe 11 are directly fed and the hot water passed through a hot water flow rate controller 14 is guided out through a three-way solenoid valve.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a jet bath for directly applying vibration stimulus to a body by a water flow and bubbles.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, jet baths have been widely used in which a jet of mixed water flow and air bubbles is applied to a bather from a side wall of a bathtub. This whirlpool stimulates the bather's body with the power of air bubbles and water flow in the jet jet, so it stimulates muscles, massage effect,
There is a relaxation effect. Water and hot water are usually supplied to the bathtub using a faucet provided on the wall of the bathroom or the bathtub.

[0003] However, since this faucet is installed so as to protrude into the whirlpool tub, a part of a naked bather's body may be injured or burnt by touching a hot faucet with hot water. Accidents can easily occur.

[0004]

As described above, a conventional jet bath can obtain a jet from a jet outlet, but water and hot water are supplied from a faucet projecting into a jet bath tub. This can get in the way of an accident and cause an unexpected accident. The present invention solves such disadvantages of the conventional whirlpool tub, and provides a structure that further adds characteristics to the conventional whirlpool tub.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The gist of the present invention is to provide a bathtub, a suction port for bathwater, a nozzle for jetting bathwater into the bathtub, a circulation pipe connecting the suction port and the nozzle for jetting, In a jet bath comprising an air inlet and a pressure supply pump for bath water, a waterfall spout is provided on the shoulder of the bather to be a hot water, and a switching valve is provided from the circulation line and from the water supply and hot water supply pipes. Characterized in that they are connected via a pipe.

[0006]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The whirlpool of the present invention has the above-mentioned structure and has the following features. (1) During the jet operation of the operation panel, the circulating pump sucks bath water from the jet suction port, and a jet jet is obtained from the jet outlet. (2) If you select the hot water on the operation panel, the circulating pump sucks the bath water from the jet suction port, and the hot water is obtained from the waterfall hot water mouth. . (3) When water supply and hot water supply are selected on the operation panel, the valves of the water supply pipe and the hot water supply pipe are opened, and the opening degree of each valve is adjusted so as to reach a set temperature.

[0007]

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of a tub of a jet bath according to the present invention. In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a bathtub, which is provided with a suction port 2 for sucking bathwater and a jet nozzle 3, which are connected by a circulation line 4, and the bathwater is pumped by a pressure supply pump 5. It is to be pressed. An air inlet 6 for introducing air bubbles is connected to the circulation line 4.

That is, during the operation of the jet bath of the operation panel 7, the pressure supply pump 5 sucks the bath water from the bath water suction port 2, and a jet jet is obtained from the jet nozzle 3. Of course, air is drawn into the bath water in the circulation pipe line 4 from the air inlet 6, and this is ejected from the ejection nozzle 3 as bubbles together with the water flow. Reference numeral 8 denotes a waterfall gate that is used as hot water to be poured onto a shoulder or the like, which is directly connected to a second circulation line 9 that is arranged in parallel with the circulation line 4. Therefore, at the time of running hot water by the operation panel 7, the bath water sucked from the bath water inlet 2 can be applied to the shoulder of the bather's body or the like from the waterfall gate 8.

On the other hand, hot water from the water supply pipe 10 and the hot water supply pipe 11 is directly supplied to the waterfall gate 8, and reference numeral 12 denotes an electromagnetic valve on the water supply pipe 10 side, and 13 denotes an electromagnetic valve on the hot water supply pipe 11 side. And supply and shutoff of water and hot water are performed. Further, reference numeral 14 is a flow control device for the hot water, and reference numeral 15 is a three-way solenoid valve for selecting hot water spouting from the waterfall gate 8.

That is, when water supply and hot water supply on the operation panel 7 are selected, the electromagnetic valves 12 and 13 are opened, the opening degrees of the respective valves 12 and 13 are adjusted so as to reach the set water temperature, and the flow control device 14 Then, the flow rate is adjusted, and the bath water is supplied into the bathtub from the waterfall gate 8 via the three-way valve 15.

[0011]

Advantages of the Invention (1) A part of the naked bather's body hits the nozzle of the water supply / hot water supply faucet and causes injury, or burns by touching the hot nozzle with hot water. No unexpected accidents occur. (2) Since a waterfall spout is provided instead of a faucet for water supply and hot water supply, an effect such as improving blood circulation is obtained by applying hot water to a shoulder or the like to a bather. (3) The bathtub can be used spaciously because the faucet for water supply and hot water supply has been eliminated.
