Description

[Detailed explanation of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention relates to a physical atmosphere adjustment device for artificial hot springs. This invention relates to a physical atmosphere adjustment device for an artificial hot spring that enhances the therapeutic effect of a hot spring bath by filling the atmosphere of the bathtub with a large amount of negative ionized oxygen.

[Prior art and its problems]

It has been known that natural hot springs containing radioactive elements are effective in treating various symptoms such as rheumatoid arthritis.

In addition, minerals containing natural radioactive elements are mainly classified into uranium/radium, thorium, and actinium, but only one of these minerals contains
The handling and usage of minerals with a radioactivity of 0.01 micro-Kyrie per gram or more is strictly regulated by law.

Therefore, recently popular radon hot springs and radon hot baths for general household use use uranium-radium-based or thorium-based radioactive minerals, which have extremely low radioactivity.

By the way, in these radon hot springs, in addition to the therapeutic effect of radon, which is semi-permanently generated from radium, an air compressor is used to generate air bubbles in the bath water, and these air bubbles have a pine surge effect and a cleaning effect. It is configured.

Additionally, in addition to radioactive minerals, radon hot baths for general household use have built-in barley stone to adsorb mercury, cadmium, chlorine, bromine, etc. in the hot water and elute minerals. Similar to radon hot springs, there are also some that use a small air compressor to generate air bubbles in the bath water.

However, when an air compressor is used in conjunction with this method, it is not only necessary to install the air compressor outside the bathroom in order to prevent accidents such as electric shock and ensure safety, but also the handling and maintenance are troublesome. It had some problems.

[Means for solving problems]

Therefore, in this design, an oxygen generator is installed outside the bathtub, which generates activated oxygen by bringing hydrogen peroxide water, which is dissociated by dissolving sodium percarbonate in water, into contact with a catalyst. The oxygen supply pipe led out from the bathtub is connected to a bubble generator placed at the bottom of the bathtub, and in this bubble generator, the oxygen gas ejected from a fume means having a large number of pores is passed through radioactive minerals into the hot water bath. By ejecting water into the air, the aim is to ensure safety and facilitate use and maintenance.

[Effect]

The physical atmosphere adjustment device for an artificial hot spring according to this invention supplies oxygen obtained from an oxygen generator installed outside the bathtub to a bubble generator at the bottom of the bathtub through a supply pipe. By ejecting oxygen gas from the pores provided in the fumarole into the hot water via radioactive minerals, the atmosphere in which the bathtub is installed is filled with a large amount of negative ionized oxygen, and the effect of the radioactive element itself is effective as well as the hot water treatment. This is an attempt to increase effectiveness.

〔Example〕

Next, a preferred embodiment of the apparatus for controlling the physical atmosphere of an artificial hot spring according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, the atmosphere adjusting device according to the present invention includes an oxygen generator 12 that applies the principle of Kitubu's gas generator outside a bathtub 10, and an oxygen supply pipe 14 led out from the oxygen generator 12. is connected to a bubble generator 16 disposed at the bottom of the bathtub 10,
Furthermore, this bubble generator 16 is basically constructed by ejecting oxygen gas from a fume member 20 having a large number of pores into the hot water via a uranium-radium radioactive mineral 22. .

That is, the oxygen generator 12 communicates an oxygen generation chamber 26 equipped with a liquid level gauge 24 with a liquid storage chamber 28 disposed above the oxygen generation chamber 26 via a communication pipe 30, and connects a porous metal plate 32 at the bottom of the oxygen generation chamber 26 to a liquid storage chamber 28 disposed above the oxygen generation chamber 26. Wire mesh 34 placed on top
A predetermined amount of catalyst 36 is placed on. Further, an oxygen generating material input pipe 40 that passes through the liquid storage chamber 28 and is closed by a lid 38 is connected to the bottom of the liquid storage chamber 28, that is, the top of the oxygen generation chamber 26, and is connected to the input pipe 40 outside the liquid storage chamber 28. is connected to the oxygen supply pipe 14 via a trap 42 and a flow rate regulating valve 44. A discharge pipe 46 is connected to the bottom of the oxygen generating chamber 26 for discharging waste liquid after the reaction is completed.

On the other hand, the bubble generator 16 disposed at the bottom of the bathtub 10 has a closed space 4 located approximately in the center of the generator body 16a.
8 and a radioactive mineral filling chamber 50 is provided around this sealed space 48, and a fumarole member 20 having a large number of pores is provided in the sealed space 48, and
The filling chambers 50 each contain radioactive minerals, and the oxygen gas supplied from the oxygen supply pipe 14 is transferred to the fumarole member 20.
The oxygen gas is fed into the radioactive mineral filling chamber 50 through a hole (not shown) drilled in the wall of the sealed space 48, and the oxygen gas is fed into the radioactive mineral 22 in the filling chamber 50.
It is configured so that it comes into contact with the water and squirts it into the hot water.

Next, the operation of the adjusting device according to the present invention constructed as described above will be explained.

First, in use, for example, hot water (35°C to 43°C) 3 in the bathtub 10 is injected into the oxygen generation chamber 26 through the injection pipe 40, and then 500 g of sodium peroxide carbonate as an oxygen generating material is introduced. Then, the input tube 40 is closed with the lid 38.

The added sodium carbonate peroxide is immediately dissolved in hot water and dissociated into sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Then, the catalyst (for example, manganese dioxide) on the wire mesh 34 comes into contact with the hydrogen peroxide solution to generate oxygen, and as this reaction (generation of oxygen) progresses, the pressure within the generation chamber 26 increases.

In this state, when the flow rate adjustment valve 44 is released, the oxygen in the generation chamber 26 is transferred via the supply pipe 14 to the fumarole member 20 in the closed space 48 → the hole in the wall of the closed space → the radioactive mineral 22 in the filling chamber 50. The gas is turned into negative ions upon contact with the water, and is then ejected into the hot water of the bathtub 10 as bubble gas. Therefore, the bathroom is filled with steam and negatively ionized oxygen.

In addition, according to the above-mentioned example, when the flow rate adjustment valve 44 is fully opened, the amount of oxygen jetted out is 3/min. It goes without saying that the ejection time can be set to several minutes, or the ejection can be made over several times. The average respiratory rate for adults is 15 to 16 breaths per minute, and each breath inhales approximately 0.75 breaths of air. Since the oxygen content in the air is approximately 21% by volume, it is approximately 2.5% per minute.
If we inhale 100% of oxygen and further assume that 10% of this is absorbed into the body, approximately 0.25/min of oxygen will be consumed in the end, but in this example, the amount of oxygen generated in the bathroom is It will be understood that there is more than enough oxygen to replace the amount of oxygen consumed by humans.

[Effect of idea]

As mentioned above, according to the physical atmosphere adjustment device for an artificial hot spring according to the present invention, oxygen generated by a chemical method without using electricity or the like is transmitted through a radioactive mineral in a bubble generator at the bottom of the bathtub. Since it is ejected into the hot water as bubble gas, it is possible to not only fill the bathroom with negative ionized oxygen, but also increase the oxygen content in the bathroom, and also have a synergistic effect with the radioactive minerals in the bathtub. You can expect effective hot spring treatment effects.
Furthermore, since the structure of the device itself is simple, it has various advantages such as simplification of handling operations including maintenance management, and its practical effects are extremely large.

Although a preferred embodiment of the physical atmosphere adjustment device for an artificial hot spring according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. Of course, various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention, such as constructing a bubble generator by providing a chamber filled with radioactive minerals through the hole.
