Hereinafter, the operation of the embodiment of the present invention having the above-described configuration.

6 and 7 are conceptual diagrams illustrating an operation during power supply and shutdown of the bubble generator of FIG.

First, referring to FIG. 6, when one end of the hot water suction line 10 is disposed in the hot water in the bathtub and the switch is turned on, power is supplied to drive the pump 100 by a motor. The one control valve 710 is opened so that the hot water in the bathtub is sucked into the pump 100 along the hot water suction line 10.

About 5 seconds after the pump 100 is driven (this time is initially set and may vary depending on the embodiment since it is only one embodiment.) The second control valve 730 is opened to allow the outside air to air. It is sucked into the pump 100 along the suction line 20.

At this time, the air inlet regulator 200 is installed on the inlet side of the second control valve 730, it is possible to manually adjust the amount of air sucked into the pump 100 manually.

The hot water and the air sucked into the pump 100 are stored in the tank 300 via the filter 600 provided with the tourmaline ball 610.

The tourmaline ball 310 is built in the tank 300, so that the hot water and the air supplied along the supply line 30 installed at the upper part of the tank 300 move together with the tourmaline ball 310 in the tank 300. It is rotated, the hot water and air is discharged to the discharge line 40 disposed in the lower portion of the tank (300).

In addition, hot water and air supplied to the filter 600 are also supplied to the tank 300 via the tourmaline ball 610 therein. Of course, the tourmaline ball 610 also vibrates or flows in accordance with the flow of the fluid inside the filter 600, and mixing is performed.

Thus, the hot water and air are mixed with the tourmaline balls 610 and 310, and the mixed hot water and air are discharged to the discharge line 40 while containing the components of the tourmaline balls 610 and 310. do.

In this case, since the filter 600 performs a role of filtering out foreign substances included in the water and water, it is preferable to replace the filter 600 at regular intervals. To this end, it is preferable that the filter 600 is conveniently provided for replacement.

The hot water and the air mixed along the discharge line 40 are injected into the jet nozzle 400. At this time, as shown in Figure 4, the mixed hot water and air passing through the spout hole 431 of the nozzle plate 430 along the discharge line 40 is a spout hole 431 of the small diameter of the nozzle plate 430 The flow rate is rapidly increased by), and the meshes 442 and 443 having a plurality of holes are passed through the mesh bodies 440 provided at both sides in the state where the flow rate is rapidly increased, thereby generating very fine bubbles in the water. . Normally, fine bubbles are generated by the mesh body 440, but the nozzle plate 430 of the present embodiment is generated by the mesh body 440 by allowing the fluid to pass through the mesh body 440 at a higher speed. It serves to generate finer bubbles than bubbles that can be.

The hot water containing the micro bubbles is ejected to the ejection hole 471 of the nozzle cap 470 and hits the inner wall surface of the ejection groove 413 to be sprayed forward of the ejection nozzle 400.

As described above, it is possible to expect a massage effect because circulating the hot water stored in the bath generates a large amount of micro bubbles in the bath.

In addition, it is excellent for skin treatment and beauty effect by supplying sweet water containing tourmaline ball 310.

On the other hand, referring to Figure 7, when the power is cut off the switch (OFF), the driving of the pump 100 is stopped, the first and second control valves (710, 730) is closed so that no more water and air pump Not supplied in 100. In addition, the closing of the first and second control valves 710 and 730 prevents the hot water remaining in the pump 100 from flowing back to the hot water suction line and the air suction line. This is not only preferable in terms of preventing the flow of back water through the water intake line psychologically, and the water is continuously maintained in the pump 100 so that water is not supplied separately to the pump 100 when the pump 100 is restarted. If not, the pump 100 can be operated immediately, and has the advantage that the consideration of the water level of the bathtub and the height of the pump 100 is unnecessary. This advantage will be particularly necessary for non-suction pumps.

In addition, the third control valve 750 is opened so that the compressed air in the tank 300 is discharged to the outside through the third control valve 750, and the compressed air in the pump 100 is checked valve 770. It is discharged to outside through).

Such a bubble generator for a bathtub can be used throughout the home as well as in a hospital or a beauty salon.

In addition, the bubble generator for the bath is manufactured separately from the bath can be used by putting the hot water suction line and the discharge line into the bath. However, according to the embodiment, the bubble generator for the bathtub may be manufactured integrally with the bathtub.

In addition, this embodiment can be manufactured based on a 0.5 horsepower pump, the drive by such a small pump means that the device can be designed to be simple or mobile.
