Referring to Figure 1, the removable bath device according to an embodiment of the present invention the tub body 10, the splashing unit 20, the protective frame 30, seat 40, backrest 50, cover Unit 60, drying unit 70, moving wheel 80 and handle 90 may be included.

2 is a configuration of the tub body 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Bath tub body 10 is a bath tub that can accommodate a bather to take a bath. Bath tub body 10 may have a predetermined height, it may include a space that can accommodate the bath water therein. In this case, the bath water may be manually filled by a bather or another user. In addition, the tub body 10 may include a drain 11 for discharging the bath water. In this case, the drain 11 may be formed to penetrate through one surface of the tub body 10.

The splashing unit 20 is a unit capable of supplying bath water to the bather by hitting the bath water contained in the tub body 10 while rotating about the rotation axis. The splashing unit 20 may be coupled to one inner side of the tub body 10. In this case, the splashing unit 20 may be formed in plurality.

1 and 2, two splashing units 20a located on the back of the bath and two splashing units 20b located on the belly are shown, and may be three or more. Since the plurality of splashing units 20 may supply bath water to the bather in various directions, the bathing time may be reduced.

3 is a view showing a splashing unit coupled to a bath main body according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4 is a perspective view showing a splashing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. 5 is a plan view of the splashing unit according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the splashing unit 20 coupled to the bath body 10 may include a rotating body 21 and a blade 22. Rotating body 21 is coupled to the tub body 10, and rotates around the rotation axis. At this time, the rotating shaft may be parallel to one surface of the bath body (10). In addition, the rotor 21 may be automatically rotated by a driver 25 such as a motor.

The blade 22 protrudes and engages with the rotating body 21 and is a portion directly hitting the bath water. When the rotating body 21 rotates about the rotating shaft, the blade 22 coupled to the rotating body 21 is rotated together with the rotating body 21. Accordingly, the blade 22 comes into contact with the bath water, and the blade 22 strikes the bath water by the rotational force.

The stationary bath water is forced from the blade 22, so that some of the bath water near the surface of the water is lifted in the tangential direction of the rotating body 21 in the rotational direction. As a result, the bath water can be sprayed on the bather in the form of water droplets. When the rotor 21 rotates at a constant speed, the blade 22 may strike the bath water at regular time intervals.

The blade 22 may be made of an elastic material such as a sponge. Since the blade 22 made of an elastic material can alleviate the shock received from the bath water when it comes in contact with the bath water, it is possible to reduce noise caused by the contact between the blade 22 and the bath water.

Referring to FIG. 4, the blade 22 may include a split 23. Split 23 refers to a groove formed in the upper end of the blade (22). The split 23 may be formed perpendicular to the blade 22, and a plurality of splits 23 may be formed at predetermined intervals. The split 23 can reduce the area where the blade 22 contacts the bath water. Thus, the split 23 can reduce the resistance that the blade 22 receives from the bath water as it rotates.

On the other hand, the shape of the rotating body 21 may be cylindrical. Since the cylindrical rotor 21 makes the distance between the rotor 21 and the surface of the bath water constant, it is possible to supply a certain amount of bath water. In this case, the blade 22 may be coupled along the spiral to the outer circumferential surface of the cylindrical rotor 21.

Referring to FIG. 5, an angle between the blade 22 coupled to the cylindrical rotor 21 and the rotation axis of the rotor 21 may not be constant. In FIG. 5, the angle formed by the blade 22 with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotating body 21 increases to the right. In this case, when the blade 22 strikes the bath water, the force can be transmitted better in the bath water advancing direction. Therefore, it is possible to supply the bather with a larger amount of bath water than when the angle of the blade 22 with respect to the axis of rotation of the rotating body 21 is constant.

Again, referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the tub body 10 may further include a protective frame 30 therein. The protective frame 30 may be formed to surround the splashing unit 20, so that the bather may not be injured by the splashing unit 20. Since the protective frame 30 is made of a mesh mesh structure, the bath water supplied by the splashing unit 20 may be prevented from reaching the bather.
