Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a battery-ignited bathtub.This will be explained in detail based on an embodiment of the drawings. 1 is a bathroom wall, and outside is a bathtub body 2. A bathtub 3 is installed in the room.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a remote control device installed through the bathroom wall 1. An operation plate 6 with an operation handle 5 arranged thereon is fixed on the indoor side, and a cover 8 such as a pulley 7 is fixed on the outdoor side.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an operating shaft that connects the operating handle 5 and the pulley 7.

A wire 10 connects the pulley 7 and the pulley 13 attached to the operating shaft 12 of the mechanism section 11 of the bathtub main body 2.

Reference numeral 14 designates a dry battery storage case that is integrally formed with the cover 8 and has an opening 15 at the lower end.
6 support fittings 17 are removably housed.

18 is a notch formed in the case 14, and the support metal fitting 1
A protrusion 20 of a resilient locking piece 19 provided at 7 can be freely engaged and detached from this notch 18.

The dry battery 16 is connected to the igniter 21. The spark plug 22 forms an ignition circuit.

24 and 25 are battery check and ignition confirmation display devices provided on the operation panel 6, the former consisting of a light emitting diode connected to an ignition circuit, and the latter consisting of a meter connected to a thermocouple circuit.

The cover 8, wire 10, mechanism part 11, etc. are used as a ground side circuit for the dry battery 16 and the display device 24, 25, and are connected to a terminal 30 arranged on the cover 8.

26 is a normally open switch connected to the ignition circuit, and is closed in response to the operation of the handle 5.

27 is a main burner, 28 is a pilot burner, and 29 is a thermocouple.

Since the present invention is structured as described above, its operation will be explained next. First, the handle 5 is rotated 90 degrees to supply gas to the pilot burner 28 and the switch 26 is closed. 21 acts to activate the ignition circuit, so that the pilot burner 28 is ignited.

Furthermore, rotate the handle 5 by 90 degrees to turn the main burner 2 on.
When gas is supplied to 7 and the pilot flame is ignited, main combustion begins.

At this time, if the switch 26 is opened after the pilot burner 28 is ignited, the life of the dry battery 16 will not be unnecessarily shortened.

In this way, by using the dry battery 16, the pilot burner 28
The ignition rate is much higher than that of conventional piezoelectric igniters using piezoelectric elements, and the operation is smoother.

However, when dry batteries 16 are used, there is a problem with the storage location, and if they are stored inside the bathtub main body 2, they will be exposed to high temperature and high humidity conditions.
It is inevitable that this will have a negative effect on the lifespan of 6.

However, it is unavoidable that it takes time to replace the dry battery 16.

However, in the present invention, the dry battery 16 is stored in the storage case 14 that is integrally formed with the cover 8 of the remote control device 4, so that it is exposed to high temperature and high humidity conditions (the sealing property must be ensured against rainwater). No problem, dry battery 16
This ensures a sufficient lifespan.

Also, when replacing the dry battery 16, if the locking piece 19 is pressed, the projection 20 and the notch 18 will be disengaged, so if the locking piece 19 is pulled, the dry battery 16 will be removed together with the support metal fitting 17.
can be taken out from the opening 15.

To store the dry battery 16 in the case 14, insert the support metal fitting 17 into the case 14 through the opening 15, and press the protrusion 2 of the locking piece 19.
It is better to engage the battery 16 with the notch 18.
Replacement can be easily done with one touch.

Note that the battery storage case 14 is connected to the operation panel 6 of the remote control device 4.
In this case as well, the opening 15 of the case 14 may be covered with a rubber material or the like to ensure airtightness against steam.

In addition, since the cover 8, wire 10, mechanism part 11, etc. are used to ground the dry battery 16 and the display device 24, 25 as the ground side circuit, no extra ground wire is required, which contributes to cost reduction. Moreover, although it is only necessary to connect to the terminal 30 arranged on the cover 8,
This is because wiring can be done very easily.

Note that the cover 8 is covered with a cap 31 to protect the terminal portion and the like from rainwater.

In this way, the present invention places a dry cell battery in a suitable position on the bathroom operation panel or outside bathroom cover of a remote control device that operates the main body of the bathtub installed outside the bathroom via wires, etc., and connects it to the ground side circuit of the dry cell battery. Since the wires and the like are used, the bathtub is not exposed to high temperatures and humidity compared to when batteries are placed inside the bathtub, and the life of the batteries is not unnecessarily shortened.

Further, since no extra ground wire is required, it contributes to cost reduction, and the connection can be made very easily, for example by simply connecting it to a terminal placed on the bar.

Furthermore, it is more effective to use a wire or the like as a ground side circuit of a display device for battery check, ignition confirmation, etc.
