Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an exact temp. sensor with good responsitiveness which is unobstructive at bathing time by providing a sensor holder with a built-in heat sensible element in the dent of a body fitted at the inner circumferential wall of a bathtub. CONSTITUTION:A fitting hole 13 penetrating inside and outside is formed at a part of a circumferential wall of the bathtub 1, a fitting body 3 is inserted from the inside of the bathtub 1 so as to detain a flange 10 to the inner circumferential wall of the bathtub 1, and a nut 14 is screwed for tightening and fixing the body 3 to the protruded part of the bathtub 1 through a packing 15. A heat sensible element 5 is provided in a sensor holder 4 protruded into a dent 2. Hot water in the bathtub 1 is entered the dent 2, whole of the holder 4 is dipped in hot water and the temp. gradient almost disappears. Therefore, the temp. is measured exactly with good responsiveness. Since there is no part protruding into the bathtub 1, the sensor is not obstructive.

Conventionally, various types of temperature sensors for bathtubs have been provided as shown below. The one shown in Fig. 81 is a temperature sensor (2) in the form of a cell placed in hot water and suspended from the lid (9) of the bathtub (1). It is inserted when detecting the water and taken out when taking a bath so as not to get in the way.
Taking it in and out is a hassle. As shown in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3, there is a system that fixes the temperature in the bathtub 11) to solve this trouble of putting in and taking out the bathtub. Since it is attached in a shape that protrudes inside the bathtub +11, it can accurately detect the hot water inside the bathtub +11, but on the other hand, it gets in the way when bathing. The heat-sensitive element (6) is arranged near the inner peripheral surface of the bathtub (1) so as not to protrude into the bathtub (1). a) Since a temperature gradient toward the middle X direction occurs around the heat-sensitive element (5) within the sensor holder (4), it is difficult to accurately measure the water temperature, and If the heat-sensitive element 11 is disposed misaligned in the Since the contact area with hot water is small, there is also the problem that the response speed to changes in hot water temperature is slow due to the heat capacity of N.

The temperature control chamber formed as described above is placed in a bathtub il+, as shown in FIG. That is, a mounting hole 11 is formed in one place on the peripheral wall of the bathtub 11), and the mounting body (3) is inserted from the inside of the bathtub (1) into the flange (10). is secured to the inner circumferential wall of the bathtub 1.11. A thread is cut on the circumferential surface of the part of the mounting body (3) that protrudes to the outside of the bathtub (1). (15) is interposed. The hot water in the bathtub 11) enters the inside of the mounting body (3) of the temperature sensor (A) attached to the bath 14711+ in this way, that is, the recess (2), and as a result, the sensor holster (4)
) will be almost completely submerged in hot water. Therefore, almost no temperature gradient occurs in the sensor holder (4), and the silkworm body surrounding the heat-sensitive element (6) has a substantially uniform temperature rC. Thereby, even if the position of the heat-sensitive element (6) is slightly shifted in the X direction in FIG. 6, the temperature can be detected without any influence.

As described above, the present invention has a sensor holster that holds a heat-sensitive element protrudingly provided in a recess that is recessed below the inner circumferential wall of the bathtub provided in the mounting tube. It has the advantage that it does not get in the way when taking a bath while the temperature sensor remains fixed, and the sensor holter is protruded into the recess so that its outer circumferential surface is submerged in hot water over almost the entire surface. As a result, the temperature around the heat-sensitive element becomes approximately equal, and as a result, it is possible to accurately detect one time, and even if the position of the heat-sensitive element is slightly shifted, there is almost no effect on the characteristics of the temperature sensor. This has the advantage of reducing product variation and improving yield.
