Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention is a portable device that supplies pressure air while submerged in a bathtub and generates a large number of bubbles to obtain whole-body beauty or medical effects. This invention relates to a bubble generator.

[Conventional technology]

It is well known that generating a large number of microbubbles in hot water in a bathtub and applying them to the body is good for beauty and health.One example of this is the use of a tubular member with a large number of small holes integrated into the bottom of the bathtub. , a device that supplies pressurized air to generate bubbles, or a plate-shaped foaming device with an air chamber inside and a large number of small holes in the upper plate is submerged in the bathtub, and the user is placed on top of this. Some devices generate bubbles by introducing pressurized air into a foaming device while sitting.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the case of the above-mentioned conventional device,
Air bubbles are generated only from the sitting area, and the effect on the upper body is weak when sitting in the bathtub.Furthermore, there is no consideration given to the structure of the device to generate air bubbles uniformly from the entire area, so the effect is only localized on the body. Ta. Also,
When water flows back through the small holes used to generate air bubbles, sufficient consideration has not been taken to effectively drain the water, which poses problems in terms of the durability of the equipment. Furthermore, in conventional bubble generators, air is normally supplied from the end of the device, so bubbles cannot be generated uniformly.
There were drawbacks such as the effectiveness being halved. In particular, in the former integrated type, the device is expensive and maintenance is troublesome. The latter separate type had problems such as poor storage and transportability when not in use.

The present invention was developed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is possible to effectively and evenly generate air bubbles not only from the seat but also from the back when sitting in a sitting position. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bubble generating device that can easily remove water even if it accumulates inside due to backflow of water, and has improved storage and transportability when not in use.

[Means for solving problems]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a through hole on one side of the side wall of the main body of the bubble generating plate, which communicates with the inside of the main body of the bubble generating plate, and connects the through holes of the main body of the two bubble generating plates to each other. With a distribution member and a drainage member,
Both the main body of the bubble generator and the two members are relatively rotatably connected in an airtight manner, a compressed air introduction pipe is rotatably provided in the distribution member, and a plug is removably attached to the drainage member. In addition, a handle portion is provided symmetrically on the end side of the generating plate main body far from the rotation center.

[Effect]

A pair of bubble generator main bodies are rotatably connected using a distribution member and a drainage member as connection means.

In this state, if pressurized air is introduced from an appropriate pressure air source, such as a compressor, through a hose or the like into the introduction pipe of one of the connecting members, the drain hole of the drain member that has entered the through hole is usually blocked with a plug. Therefore, after being introduced into the air reservoir, the pressurized air passes through the slits and enters the tip of the central passage, which is the main body of the bubble generator.There, the pressurized air enters the air chambers on both sides of the central passage, and bubbles are generated from the small holes. Air bubbles are released from the surface of the main board.

Next, when the generator body is used in an upright position in the bathtub, the pressurized air is generated as bubbles from one side of the generator body, and these air bubbles massage the shoulders and back of the body, while the generator body Since the air bubbles generated from the massager massage the lower back, buttocks, thighs, etc., the whole body can be massaged while sitting in the bathtub.

In addition, since the main body of the bubble generator is bendably connected, it is possible to bend both bodies in the bathtub and release bubbles from the bottom and one side of the bathtub, and it can also be folded in half when not in use. can.

In addition, if a large number of partitions, partitions, etc. of various sizes are formed in the air flow path inside the generation plate main body 2b to increase fluid resistance, the air bubbles from the generation plate main body 2b on the back side will be generated more evenly. can be done.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

When the upper plate 3 and the lower plate 4 are joined together, the protruding wall 6 of the upper plate 3 comes into contact with the edge of the lower plate 4, thereby forming an air chamber 19 inside which is opened only by the slit 5. A central passage 7' having a relatively large cross-sectional area is formed in the center of the air chamber 19 by a groove 7. Further, at this time, the U-shaped spacers 8, 8 provided on the lower surface of the upper plate 3 are joined to the upper surface of the lower plate 4, and at the same time, the cover plate 11 of the upper plate 3 closes the air reservoir 15 of the lower plate 4. In this way, a pair of bubble generating plate main bodies 2a, 2b constituted by combining the upper and lower plates 3, 4 are connected to the distributing member 2.
0 and the drainage member 40 are swingably connected as a connecting means. This connection includes each distribution, drainage member 20,
This can be done by inserting the respective shaft nozzles 23, 23 of 40 into the through holes 17, 17' of the lower plates 4, 4, and the locking members 27, 40 of the distributing and draining members 20, 40, respectively.
Locking step portions 26, 48 provided on the outer periphery of 45 lock onto the inner edges of the through holes 17, 17' into which the holes 17, 17' are inserted. In this assembled state, the introduction pipe 22 of one connecting member 20
When pressurized air is introduced from an appropriate pressure air source, for example, a compressor, through a hose h etc., the drain hole 42 of the drain member 40 that is inserted into the through hole 17' is normally closed with a plug 43, so that the pressure is reduced. After the air is introduced into the air reservoir 15, it passes through the slit 5 and enters the tip of the central passage 7' of the main body 2a, 2b of the bubble generating plate. There, the pressurized air passes through the central passage 7'
into the air chambers 19 on both sides of the
While being dispersed, the bubbles are released from the surfaces of the bubble generating plate main bodies 2a, 2b through the small holes 9, 9, . . .

Next, when the generator main body 2b is used while standing in the bathtub as shown in FIG. , the back is massaged, and on the other hand, the waist, buttocks, thighs, etc. are massaged with air bubbles generated from the generator body 2a, so the whole body can be massaged while sitting in the bathtub.

In addition, since the bubble generator main bodies 2a and 2b are connected in a bendable manner, both plates 2a and 2b can be bent in the bathtub to release bubbles from the bottom and one side of the bathtub, and when not in use, the bubbles can be released from the bottom and one side of the bathtub. It can be folded in half.

A suction cup 1 is detachably attached to the lower surface of the lower plate 4 of each bubble generating plate main body 2a, 2b by snap engagement.
8 can be adsorbed to the bottom of the bathtub during use, so it does not easily float up inside the bathtub.

[Effect of the invention] As described above, according to the invention, the distribution member 20
The pressurized air introduced into the air reservoirs 15 of the bubble generator main bodies 2a, 2b through the slits 5 enters the central passage 7', and flows from the central passage 7' into the air chambers 19, 19 on both sides. Generator main body 2
Air is spread all the way to the ends of a and 2b, and
Since the pressurized air is dispersed by the spacers 8, 8...
Bubbles are emitted from the entire area of the bubble generating plate main bodies 2a, 2b, and the bubbling effect is further averaged. In addition, if water flows into the generator main bodies 2a, 2b after use, the generator main bodies 2a, 2b should be placed with the drainage member 40 facing down.
By tilting b and removing the stopper 43 of the drain member 40, water can be drained to the outside. In this case, the spacers 8, 8 are U with openings in the direction toward the center of both boards.
Since it is shaped like a letter, water can be drained effectively and functionality can be prevented from being degraded due to residual water. Also,
Distributing bubble generation plate main bodies 2a, 2b, drainage member 2
Since they are connected at 0.40 mm, when used in a bathtub, one panel can be placed on the bottom of the bathtub and the other along the side wall of the bathtub, making it possible to effectively apply bubbles to the upper body. In addition, since the distribution and drainage members 20 and 40 are rotatably supported by a pair of shaft nozzles 23 and 23, both main bodies 2a and 2b
When folded in half, as shown in FIG. 7, the distribution and drainage members 20 and 40 function as supports and stand on their own, providing good stability when not in use and convenient storage. Moreover, since the distribution and drainage members 20, 40 are snap-fitted to the bubble generator main bodies 2a, 2b, assembly is extremely simple.

Furthermore, the side wall portion 16 of the air pocket 15 is the center of rotation of the generation plate main bodies 2a, 2b, and the
It can be rotated 360 degrees and can be used at any bending angle, and when folded in half, both handles face each other and can be carried, and can be folded in half with the small hole 9 on the outside. This allows most of the supplied air to blow out from the small holes 9 directed upward, generating dense air bubbles.

Further, the through hole 17 of the side wall portion 16 is connected to the distribution member 2.
0. Due to the airtight connection structure using the drainage member 40, air can be smoothly supplied, and a foaming effect without uneven ejection can be expected.
