Description

Bath water purification controller

The bathrooms in the bathrooms we normally use are divided into boiling and filling with hot water. The boiling type is composed of a bathtub and a heater so that the bath water is circulated between the bathtub and the heater to be heated (for example, a public bath such as a bath or a sauna).

On the other hand, the filling method is, for example, in a hot water heater or a hot water storage tank, the bath water heated to a certain temperature is to flow in the tub has the advantage of maintaining the bath water in a relatively hygienic state. However, if the bath water temperature drops, even if the bath water overflows the bath, new hot water must be added and it is not economical. In addition, it is not suitable as a bath for 24 hours anytime bath because of the need to add high temperature water.

On the other hand, in the case of boiling water, the bath water that has cooled down is heated while circulating, so there is no need to add new water, such as filling it up, and it is economically advantageous.

Do. Therefore, it is suitable as a bath to enjoy the occasional bath. However, as the number of baths increases, the bath water is contaminated with human hair, fat components, hair, etc., and bacteria are also multiplying to become unsuitable bath water. In addition, a clean water disinfection circulation device for baths is provided with a filter for filtering the bath water, an activation tank for purifying the bath water, a heating device, and a circulation pump for circulating the bath water.

According to the clean water disinfection circulation system of the bath water, hair and the like are removed by the filtration device while the bath water in the bath is circulated between the filtration device, the activation tank and the heating device. In addition, since the activation tank is filled with active stones such as elvan, sulfur, and unrefined pearl rock, the bath water is ion-exchanged in the activation tank, and mineral components such as magnesium and zinc or active ingredients such as calcium and sodium are dissolved in the bath water. Thus, the bath water is adjusted from neutral to grainy alkalinity. This imparts a bath effect to the bath water. In addition, the aerobic bacteria that grow in these active stones decompose ammonia, organic matter, and the like, which cause the bath water to decay, for example, and the bath water is purified. And it heats suitably by a heating apparatus. In addition, ozone gas is mixed into the bath water, microorganisms in the bath water are sterilized and odors are removed. As a result, the effect that it can be used continuously for a long time can be obtained.

As mentioned above, the clean water disinfection circulation system of the bath water can have various effects, but it is recognized that there is a need for improvement.

For example, since ozone gas is mixed in bath water, direct effect by ozone gas and synergistic effect by ozone gas and activated stone can be obtained. However, ozone gas is mixed near the bathtub, so the ozone gas dissolution rate is low. In other words, the blown ozone gas does not dissolve and immediately bubbles and rises in the bath water and escapes into the air. Thus, the ozone gas may not be sufficiently sterilized, deodorized, or decomposed of organic matter.

2 As mentioned for the activation tanks, the bath water is purified but there is little purification by the bacteria growing in the active stone, especially aerobic bacteria, and a large activation tank is required to obtain sufficient purification. Larger activation tanks also take up space when installed in the bathroom.

In addition, electric heaters are more suitable for heating devices in bathrooms that enjoy bathing 24 hours a day. However, when electric pump heaters are used, measures against leakage are also required. An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for adjusting bath water that solves the above-mentioned shortcomings or problems. Specifically, an object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for adjusting bath water that can sufficiently purify bath water even with a small activation device. Doing.

The packing is inserted into the cover 2p around the opening and closing part of the upper part, and is attached and detached freely by screws. An introduction tube 24 is provided for supplying bath water above the filtration tank 21. This introduction pipe 23 is located above the filtration tank 21 in this embodiment. The second circulation pipe 74 described above is connected to the introduction pipe 24. The lower part of the filtration tank 21 is provided with a storage tank 23 for filtered bath water, and a discharge pipe 25 is installed under the storage tank 23. The outlet tube 25 is connected to the activator to facilitate the flow into the activator using the principle of natural, gravitational action of water flow from top to bottom.

2-1 A plurality of, for example, six filtration units 26 are inserted into the filtration tank 21 configured as described above. The filtration unit 26 consists of a cylindrical filter body 27 and a drain pipe 28 which is installed concentrically with an interval inside the filter body 27. The filter body 31 is not exactly shown in the figure, but consists of a strainer, a filter medium, and the like, and the drain pipe 28 has a plurality of small holes 29 spaced at regular intervals in the vertical direction. When the filtration unit 26 is inserted into the filtration tank 21 to fix the position, and the filtration tank 21 is sealed with the cover portion 2p, the filtration unit 26 is fixed at regular intervals, but the lower portion of the drain pipe 28 is connected to the storage tank 23 of the filtered water. In addition, since there is a predetermined interval between the inner surface of the filtration tank 21 and the outer surface of the filtration unit 26 on the outer side, the bath water supplied from the inlet pipe 24 is uniformly spread through the filtration tank 21 and filtered. Therefore, the whole surface of the filtration unit 26 is used for filtration, and the area which removes solids is large, and the filter body 27 does not become clogged even if it uses for a long time. In addition, the bath water filtered from the filtration tank is connected to the shower 80 by the pump 41, so it is possible to simply enjoy a shower in a busy time when there is no time to enjoy bathing in the bathtub, and to take a shower with the bath water. In the reality of our country, which is classified as a country, it would be helpful to save water.

2-2 According to this embodiment, the drainage pipe 28 is provided with a hole 29 so that a small amount of bath water filtered by the filter medium 26 is sucked into the drainage pipe 28 through the hole 29, and most of the water is sucked from the drainage pipe 28 and the open area 30. No air blockage occurs in tank 21. In addition, the filtration device 2 of the present embodiment adopts a method of descending due to natural water flow, that is, dropping due to gravity, and also has a hole 29 even when forced by the pump 4, so that no problem of overpressure occurs. Do not.

3 The activator 5 has a cylindrical activation tank 50. The lower part of the activation tank 50 is provided with a bath water dispersion chamber 52 composed of a perforated plate 51. In addition, the packing can be inserted into the cover part 5p at the open part of the upper part, and it can be attached freely and detachably with a screw. At the bottom of the bath water distribution chamber 52, a fourth circulation pipe 54 is connected to the supply pipe, and a fourth circulation pipe 55 connected to the discharge pipe of the pump 40 is connected to the supply pipe 54.

3-1 Activation tank 50 is filled with one or a mixture of two or more active stones 59 including elvan, sulfur, obsidian, rhyolite and unrefined pearl rock. In this embodiment, these active stones 59 are stored in the activation tank 50 in a state of being contained in the nets 57 and 58. In this way, the active stone 59 is contained in the net bag 57, 58, so the exchange of the active stone can be easily solved by exchanging the 57,58.

3-2 When a bath water passes through an activation tank 50, an aerobic bacterium that is propagated in the active stones in the activation tank 50, that is, a bacteria that decomposes organic matter and obtains energy for living, corrupts organic matter, for example, bath water. Purify the bath water by decomposing the ammonia that causes it. In addition, the bath water is ion-exchanged, and organic components such as magnesium, zinc, calcium, and sodium are dissolved in the bath water, so that the bath water is controlled to be alkaline. This imparts a bath effect to the bath water. Then, the second heat exchange tube 13 of the heater 1 enters through the circulation tube 55. When it is lower than the temperature of the bath water, it is heated and sprayed from the nozzle block to the bath.

In box A, an electric device box b is disposed, and an electric device box b is provided with an ozone gas generator 60 and a control valve 63 for opening and closing the pipeline for supplying air to the ozone gas generator 60. It runs from the ozone gas generator 60 to the ozone supply pipe 61. The ozone supply line 61 is open at its end into the discharge line 77, the suction line of the pump. These ozone supply pipes 61 and air pipes 62 are provided with non-return control valves 41 and 42, respectively.

5 The pump 4, heater 1, ozone generator 60, etc. can be operated manually and can be controlled by the controller alone or interlocked by installing a controller in or outside the bathroom. The controller is controlled by microcomputer and equipped with numeric keys, setting keys, etc., and has timer function, setting function, control function, reservation function, continuous operation function besides reservation. Therefore, the operating time of the ozone generator 60 can be set at the same time as the temperature of the bath water, and the ozone generator 60 and the heater 1 are controlled as set by this control function. If the ozone gas generator 60 is turned on manually, the stopped pump also operates.

6 Next, the operation of the embodiment will be described. It is assumed that a certain amount of water enters the bathtub, so that the filter device 2 activator 5 is filled to some extent. Turn on the switch. Then, the microcomputer starts operation according to the program and controls the pump 4, the ozone generator 60, the heater 1, etc. alone or in conjunction with each other as set.

7 When the pump 4 is running and the bath water flows out, when the ozone generator 60 is activated, the pump 4 starts and the bath water is circulated, and ozone gas is mixed into the bath water through the ozone supply pipe. The ozone gas mixed into the bath water is dissolved in the circulation pipe 15, the heater 1, and the filtration device 2, the circulation pipe 25, and is completely reduced to oxygen until the activation tank 50 is reached. When reduced to oxygen, microorganisms and the like in the bath water are sterilized and deodorized, and organic matter is decomposed. Bath water with large amounts of oxygen is sent directly to the activation tank 50. Bath water containing a large amount of oxygen helps the growth of aerobic bacteria in the activating tank and promotes the purification of bath water by aerobic bacteria. In addition, organic compounds having a large molecular weight are decomposed into small molecular weight by ozone gas, so the purification effect is easy by bacteria.

As described above, according to the present invention, when the heating device, the filtration device, the pump device, the activation device, and the like are connected to the circulation pipe to operate the pump device, the bath water in the tub is sucked into the device from the nozzle block and circulated through the nozzle block. Solids are collected in the filtration device, and the activator is used to purify the bath water by bacteria and to dissolve the active ingredients such as magnesium, zinc, calcium, sodium, and so on. The effect of heating to an appropriate temperature by the heating device can be obtained. In particular, according to the present invention, since the ozone gas supply pipe is connected to the circulation pipe before the activator, the ozone gas is reduced to oxygen until it reaches the activator, and dissolved oxygen is directly sent to the activator. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the peculiar effect of the present invention that the bath water containing a large amount of oxygen helps the growth of aerobic bacteria that are reproduced in the activator and promotes the purification of the bath water by the aerobic bacteria. As described above, according to the present invention, purification of the bath water by the activator is promoted, so that the activator can be compactly constructed and can be installed in the bathroom.
