Referring to FIGS. 1, 2, 4, and 5, the underwater healthcare bath for back pain according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a massage unit 100 provided in the lumbar block 11 have.

The massage unit 100 includes a massage nozzle 101 disposed on the cushion unit 13 and a pumping unit 105 located inside the lumbar block 11 and pumping water to the massage nozzle 101 to provide do.

Referring to FIG. 4, the pumping unit 105 may be compactly configured and installed in the lumbar block 11.

2, 4, and 5, the pumping unit 105 is a bubble generator 126 capable of supplying oxygen, and water is introduced from the bath unit 10 by the inlet hose 135, and the bubble generator ( Oxygen is supplied from 126 and a pump 110 for discharging water mixed with oxygen in the form of bubbles by mixing water and oxygen inside, and a chamber 125 in which water and oxygen mixed in the pump 110 are introduced and stored , Doedoe connected to the chamber 125 and includes a micro nozzle unit 130 connected by a massage nozzle 101 and a discharge hose 140.

The micro-nozzle unit 130 has an orifice inlet 132a through which oxygen-mixed water is introduced, and an inner space in which oxygen-mixed water is ejected through the orifice inlet 132a to form a turbulent flow.

A discharge port 134 for discharging water mixed with oxygen flowing in a turbulent flow in the inner space is formed in the micro nozzle unit 130. The size of oxygen bubbles is finely formed by turbulent flow in the inner space of the micro nozzle unit 130.

The pump 110 is connected to the other end of the inlet hose 135 to which one end is connected to the bathtub part 10 to receive water from the bathtub part 10. A bubble generator 126 is disposed on one side of the pump 110, and the pump 110 receives oxygen from the bubble generator 126. Water and oxygen are mixed by turbulent flow by the impeller inside the housing 120 in which an impeller that pressurizes and discharges water and oxygen, and flows into the chamber 125.

The chamber 125 is a cylindrical shape having a storage space in which the mixed water of water and oxygen is introduced and the mixed water is stored, and the mixed water is filled in the storage space to maintain a constant pressure.

The chamber 125 is connected to the micro nozzle unit 130, and the mixed water of water and oxygen stored in the chamber 125 is transferred to the orifice inlet 132a formed on the inlet plate 132 of the micro nozzle unit 130. Flow in.

One to three orifice inlets 132a of the micro nozzle unit 130 may be formed in the central portion of the inlet plate 132. A plurality of discharge ports 134 are formed around the outer peripheral surface of the opposite side of the side where the orifice inlet 132a is formed to be connected to the inner space of the micro nozzle unit 130.

A plane 133 facing the orifice inlet 132a is formed on the inner surface of the micro nozzle unit 130 on the opposite side where the orifice inlet 132a is formed.

The mixed water of water and oxygen is sprayed into the inner space of the micro nozzle unit 130 while passing through the orifice inlet 132a of the micro nozzle unit 130, and the plane of the opposite inner surface formed to face the orifice inlet 132a ( 133). As a result, the oxygen bubbles in the mixed water are more finely divided.

On the other hand, the orifice inlet 132a of the micro nozzle unit 130 is a fine hole of 2 mm or less, and the chamber 125 maintains a constant pressure by receiving a pressure pressurized by the pump 110. When the mixed water of water and oxygen flows into the orifice inlet 132a, the pressure is high, and when it passes through the orifice inlet 132a, the flow velocity is high and the pressure is lowered.

The mixed water of water and oxygen passes through the orifice inlet 132a and is injected into the inner space of the micro-nozzle unit 130 at a flow rate, and a strong flow on the plane 133 of the inner surface facing the orifice inlet 132a And spreads around the plane 133 and flows along the inner circumferential portion of the micro nozzle unit 130 within the micro nozzle unit 130.

The mixed water of water and oxygen circulates along the inner circumferential surface of the micro-nozzle unit 130 to form a pressure inside the micro-nozzle unit 130, and flows out through the outlet 134 of the micro-nozzle unit 130.

The discharge port 134 of the micro nozzle unit 130 is connected to a discharge hose 140 that supplies a mixed water of water and oxygen to the bathtub unit 10. One end of the discharge hose 140 is connected to the discharge port 134 of the micro nozzle unit 130, and the other end is connected to the massage nozzle 101.

The massage nozzle 101 is installed on the upper surface of the lumbar block 11 to flow out a mixed water of water and oxygen, and a plurality of perforations for spraying the mixed water of water and oxygen to the bathtub 10 are located at the end side. Is formed.

A filter for preventing the inflow of waste to the pump 110 may be provided in the suction part 138 which is disposed on the bathtub part 10 side of the inlet hose 135 and into which water is introduced. The filter is connected to the inlet hose 135 and may be disposed inside the suction part 138 in which the inlet hole is formed.

An opening/closing valve 145 is provided at a connection portion between the micro nozzle unit 130 and the discharge hose 140 to control the flow amount of water mixed with oxygen flowing from the micro nozzle unit 130 to the discharge hose 140.

The opening/closing valve 145 can cut off the supply of the mixed water of water and oxygen to the bathtub part 10 without stopping the operation of the pump 110, and can also control the supply amount of water containing oxygen.

As described above, water and oxygen are mixed in the pump 110, passed through the chamber 125, flow to the discharge hose 140 through the micro-nozzle unit 130 connected to the chamber 125, and supplied to the bathtub part 10. do.

Accordingly, while passing through the micro nozzle unit 130, oxygen bubbles contained in water may be split into micro units or dissolved in water to be ionized, and a mixed water mixed with fine oxygen bubbles may be supplied to the bathtub unit 10.

Since the human body of a person who enjoys a bath in the bathtub part 10 comes into contact with micro-oxygen bubbles supplied to the bathtub part 10, the dead skin cells of the skin are combined by ionized oxygen so that the dead skin cells can be easily removed. Skin diseases can be prevented and repaired by sterilizing bacteria in the cells by dissolved oxygen or microscopic oxygen bubbles.

On the other hand, oxygen bubbles contained in water as described above can be split into micro-units or dissolved in water to be ionized, and when used with the low-frequency stimulators (15, 16), they are vibrated by the low-frequency waves, so that the low-frequency stimulators (15, 16) and It works together to exert more stimulation to the body.

The massage unit 100 may further include one or more other massage nozzles 102 installed on the sidewall of the bathtub unit 10 corresponding to the body. For example, another massage nozzle 102 may be disposed corresponding to the neck, leg, or arm of the body. These other massage nozzles 102 may massage various parts of the body while stimulating cleaning.

In the above, the discharge hose 140 and the inlet hose 135, which are disposed to connect the massage nozzles 101 and 102 and the suction unit 138 to the pump 110, respectively, are built into the inside of the bathtub part 10 to provide a lumbar spine. It can be inserted into the block 11 side.

As described above, embodiments of the present invention have been described, but based on this, if a person of ordinary skill in the relevant technical field does not depart from the spirit of the present invention described in the claims, addition, change, and deletion of components Or it will be possible to variously modify and change the present invention by addition or the like, which will also be included within the scope of the present invention.
