TECHNICAL FIELD 1 The present invention relates to a shower device for bathing that generates fine bubbles. [Background Art] Conventionally used shower devices include a type of shower device in which water is jetted straight from a shower nozzle, and a foam shower device in which bubbly mixed water is discharged by drawing in water and air. There is. @Nagisa's straight-type shower equipment has high water pressure and a fast water flow rate, so it is highly effective for cleaning and rinsing, but there was a problem that the water that bounced back would splash around. Also, if you increase the flow rate of the jet water to increase the cleaning effect,
On the other hand, there were some cases where the stimulation to the body became too strong, causing pain. On the other hand, in the latter foam shower device,
The hM structure is designed to draw in air with the flow of water and discharge bubbly mixed water, but this prevents the water from splashing around even if the bubbly water hits your body, but when air is drawn in, As the water flow rate decreases,
There was a problem that a great cleaning effect could not be expected.

The present invention has been made in view of the technical background as described above, and its purpose is to provide a method that can be expected to have a great cleaning effect without slowing down the Ill speed of water, and with less scattering. To provide a shower device capable of discharging foamy water. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION 1 The shower device of the present invention is a shower device for people m + rt, and includes a gas dissolving device 1 for pressurizing 78 M of gas in water, and a depressurizing system for water in which the gas is dissolved. R-filled bubble generation/l'-nozzle 2 that discharges fine bubble water
and are connected by a pressure-resistant hose 3. Therefore, in × bubble generation / 7: Le 2, the dissolved water in which the gas has been dissolved in the gas dissolving device 1 is converted into fine bubble water and discharged, so there is less scattering of the discharged water, and the skin It can be expected to have a cosmetic effect by giving an appropriate amount of stinging so as not to cause pain, and since the water is pressurized by the gas dissolving device 1 and depressurized by the bubble generating nozzle 2, the flow rate of the discharged water is low. Water can be discharged at a high flow rate without reducing the flow rate, resulting in a high cleaning or rinsing effect. Embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The shower device is composed of a gas dissolving device 1 directly connected to a water faucet 4, a pressure hose 3, and a bubble generating nozzle 2, as shown in FIG. tIS1. The gas dissolving device 1 uses water (
Gas (air) is forcibly mixed into water (or hot water) and the gas-liquid mixed water is pressurized to dissolve the gas in the water. The gas 18 produced in this way is sent to the bubble generating nozzle 2 by the pressure hose 3 without reducing the water pressure. , the pressure reducing part 5 has an internal mechanism as shown in FIG. There is a built-in orifice 9, and the pressurized water sent from the pressure hose 3 flows through this orifice 9.
The pressure is reduced by passing through the However, when pressurized water is released directly into atmospheric pressure from this orifice 9, the pressure is rapidly reduced, and bubbles cannot be obtained since there is no nucleus for bubble generation. For this reason,
A buffer chamber 10 is provided in front of the orifice 9, and the floating body 11 is delivered with an appropriate amount of play within the buffer chamber 10, and a mesh-like stopper 12 is used to prevent the floating body 11 from coming off. Therefore, the continuous water flow coming out of the orifice 9 collides with the floating body 11 to cause cavitation, and bubbles are deposited. Further, the water pressure is not released all at once to atmospheric pressure, but is released in two stages by the orifice 9 and floating body 11, making it difficult for precipitated bubbles to collect. When the pressurized water exits the stopper 12, it becomes fine bubble mixed water containing fine bubbles, and the water flows through the nozzle hole 1 of the shower head 6.
3, and ensures the same discharge amount, discharge speed, and pressure as a normal shower nozzle. in general,
The cleaning effect of a shower is related to the speed of discharged water, and the higher the speed, the greater the cleaning power.However, the shower device of the present invention does not involve the water flow entraining air midway through, but instead uses the gas dissolving device 1 to dissolve air bubbles from the beginning. Because the flow rate is not reduced, it is possible to obtain a discharge speed equivalent to that of a straight type shower device, and to obtain high cleaning power. It is thought that it is related to the density of llj, and the interlocking energy per paper is generally IE = -! ,, Mv2(M
is expressed as the mass per unit of water, that is, the density, and ■ is the flow velocity. Therefore, if the flow velocity is the same, the density of the aerated water is smaller, so the density E of the interlocking energy is also smaller, and as a result, the normal Even if the flow speed is higher than that of a shower, the cleaning power is increased, but it is possible to have a milder shower with less irritation to the skin. Furthermore, it is natural that there is less water splashing compared to a straight type shower that uses only water. In the above embodiment, the gas dissolving device 1 was directly connected to the water faucet 4, but if it is desired to discharge hot water containing fine bubbles from the bubble generating nozzle 2, the gas dissolving device 1 can be connected to a water tank or the like. Can be connected to a water heater, etc. Effects of the Invention 1 As described above, the present invention provides a gas dissolving device for pressurizing and dissolving gas in water, and a bubble generating device for reducing the pressure of water in which the gas is dissolved and discharging fine bubble water. Since the nozzle is connected to the nozzle by a pressure-resistant hose, the dissolved water in which gas has been dissolved in the gas dissolving device is converted into bubble water and discharged, and the discharged water is It causes less damage, provides moderate stimulation without causing pain to the skin, and can also be expected to have cosmetic effects. Moreover, since the water is pressurized by the gas dissolving device and depressurized by the bubble generating nozzle, there is no need to reduce the flow rate of the discharged water, and water can be discharged at a high flow rate, resulting in a high cleaning or rinsing effect.
