Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to a support structure for a bubble-generating bathtub.

(Example) Conventional technology Conventionally, as a structure for installing a bathtub, for example,
8-68360, JP-A-51-70069, JP-A-52
-125065 etc., the bottom of the bathtub or the bathroom floor is recessed, or the structure is designed to simplify the installation work, and the purpose is to increase the heat retention effect, waterproofness, earthquake resistance The aim is to improve fuel efficiency and ultimately save on fuel consumption.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, in particular, in the case of a bubble-generating bathtub that spouts a jet stream together with bubbles into bath water, there is a drawback that the bathtub installation structure of the conventional technology cannot be applied as is. there were.

This is because, as shown in FIG. 9, the bubble-generating bathtub 102 installed in the housing complex 101 uses a motor pump 103 to emit a high-pressure jet stream into the bathtub, so the high-pressure jet stream enters the bath water. Sometimes it makes a lot of noise, and
Such noise causes resonance in the bathtub itself, amplifying the noise. Such noise and vibrations are transmitted through the wall surface 104 to the downstairs of the housing complex 101 as unpleasant noise and vibrations, and operation late at night may cause great nuisance to the neighbors. As described above, in the bubble-generating bathtub 102, the structure of the bathtub is required to prevent vibrations caused by the noise caused by the jet flow, rather than to maintain heat and save fuel.

The above-mentioned conventional technology cannot be applied to a bubble-generating bathtub that generates such special noise and vibration, and has the drawback that its vibration-proofing effect cannot be obtained beneficially.

In this invention, especially in the special bathtub structure of such a bubble-generating bathtub, it is possible to improve the vibration-proofing effect as much as possible.

(2) Means for Solving the Problems This invention provides a bubble-generating bathtub configured to be able to spout bath water mixed with bubbles from jet nozzles provided on the front and rear walls and side walls of the bathtub body. , a large number of band-shaped outer bottom ridges extending in the left-right direction are arranged side by side at regular intervals, and the washing area base on which the bathtub body is mounted has a strip located at the left and right ends of the outer bottom ridge of the bathtub body. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a support structure for a bubble-generating bathtub, in which a vibration isolating plate formed by integrally providing a plurality of elastic leg members made of rubber or the like on the lower surface of a cement-based panel is installed.

(E) Functions and Effects In this invention, while circulating the bath water in the bathtub using a predetermined motor pump, the jet pressure is The acupressure effect on the human body or the ultrasonic action of air bubbles can relieve human fatigue or remove dirt from the human body, and the noise generated by the operation of such a bubble-generating bathtub causes vibrations in the bathtub body. However, vibrations are not transmitted to the bathtub bottom and bathroom floor, which are the points of direct contact between the bathtub body and the building.

Here, a large number of outer bottom protrusions extending in the left and right direction are arranged in parallel at regular intervals on the outer bottom surface of the bathtub body, and vibration isolating plates are laid to be located at the left and right ends of the protrusions, respectively. Since the shake plate has elastic leg members made of rubber or other material on the bottom surface of the cement-based panel, the vibrations of the bathtub itself are concentrated on the band-shaped outer bottom rim, and moreover, the vibrations of the bathtub itself are concentrated on the band-shaped outer bottom rim. Because it is supported by a vibration isolating board, it is possible to block vibrations from being transmitted to the floor as much as possible with the minimum area of the vibration isolating board, and even in a large bathtub with a large weight of bath water storage, It is possible to obtain a stable placement on the floor through the band-shaped outer bottom ridge and vibration isolation plate, and it is said that it is possible to stably place a heavy bathtub while preventing the propagation of vibrations as much as possible. have an effect.

(f) Embodiments The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings as follows.

That is, FIG. 1 shows an overall view of the bubble-generating bathtub A. A bathtub body 1 is installed in the bathroom R, and a back jet nozzle 2 is installed on the front and rear walls of the bathtub body L. , two jet nozzles 3 for the legs are provided, and one jet nozzle 4 for the abdomen is provided on the side wall, one on each side.
A jet pipe 5 surrounding the bathtub body 1 is connected to each jet nozzle 2.3.4, and the jet pipe 5 is connected to a pump section 6.

Further, a water suction hole 7 is provided in the lower part of the side wall of the bathtub body 1, and a water suction pipe 8 is interposed between the water suction hole 7 and the suction side of the bomb portion 6. The bomb section 6 is configured to be operated by a motor 9, and a control section 10 is disposed around the bomb section 6 and the motor 9.

Further, an operation panel 12 with a built-in air intake mechanism is provided at required locations on the edge l1 of the bathtub body 1, and the air intake mechanism is connected to an air intake pipe 13 surrounding the outer periphery of the bathtub body. A pipe 14 for feeding air is further extended from the air suction pipe 13 to a part of each jet nozzle, and an eject effect accompanying the spouting of bath water from the pump through the nozzle is provided. The nozzle is configured to draw air into the nozzle.

In this way, the bathtub body 1 is provided with a mechanism for producing a bubble jet, and in particular, the rotation speed of the motor 9 is controlled by the inverter 15 so that the discharge pressure of the pump section 6 can be freely changed. It is configured to be able to provide bubble-generating bathtubs with various types of jet flow in combination with lO. Specifically, the bath water stored in the bathtub body 1 is heated by a motor 9 controlled by an inverter 15. The water is sucked into the pump part 6 via the water suction pipe 8, and is ejected from each jet nozzle 2, 3.4 through the jet pipe 5, thereby circulating within the bathtub body l and the bomb part 6. ing.

With the jet of bath water, air is drawn into the nozzle 2 from the air suction pipe l3, becomes bubbles, and is ejected into the bathtub body 1 together with the bath water.

In the bubble-generating bathtub A that performs this function, it is mounted and fixed inside the bathroom R, and the motor 9, pump section 6, control section 10, etc. are installed outside the bathroom R as an outdoor device a.

Therefore, a jet pipe 5 and a water absorption pipe 8, which are interposed between the bathtub body 1 and the outdoor device a, are inserted into the outer wall W installed between the bathroom R and the outdoor H.

The gist of the invention lies in the following configuration of the bubble generating bathtub configured as described above.

That is, a large number of strip-shaped outer bottom protrusions m extending in the left-right direction are arranged side by side at regular intervals on the outer bottom surface l6 of the bathtub body 1, and furthermore, on the floor surface r of the bathroom on which the bathtub body l is placed, Vibration isolating plates M are installed at the left and right ends of the outer bottom protrusion m of the bathroom body 1.

The outer bottom ridge m of the bathtub body 1 may be molded integrally with the bathtub body 1, or may be fixed to the outer bottom surface l6 of the bathtub body 1 from behind.

In particular, when the bathtub body is large, the number of outer bottom protrusions m increases, but these outer bottom protrusions m have a rectangular shape on the outer bottom surface of the rectangular bathtub main body 1, as shown in FIG. They are arranged side by side along the long sides.

In addition, in the case of a large bathtub, multiple vibration-proof plates M are installed on the outer bottom ridge m.
are installed to support the bathtub.

The vibration isolation plate M is constructed by integrally providing a plurality of elastic leg members 2 made of rubber or the like on the lower surface of a cement-based panel 1.

Examples of cement-based panels include concrete panels and fiber-reinforced cement panels.
It has a compressive strength that can withstand the weight and vibration of the bathtub, has good adhesion with mortar, can firmly fix the outer bottom ridge m of the bathtub body 1, and prevents corrosion due to drainage. It also has little deformation due to weight, allowing the load to be evenly distributed. Its composition consists of 00 parts by weight of cement, 100 to 150 parts by weight of aggregate such as sand, 30 parts by weight of elastic particles made of rubber, etc., and 50 parts by weight of water. The elastic leg member 2 absorbs minute vibrations and lateral vibrations of the bathtub body 1 through the cement-based panel 1, and is made of a rubber-based material whose main component is, for example, natural raw rubber, butyl rubber, EPT, SBR, etc. An elastic body can be used, and a rubber hardness of 40 to 60 degrees is used.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, its shape is such that a large number of narrow strip-shaped elastic leg members 2 are fixed radially on the bottom surface of a substantially square cement-based panel L, or a disk-shaped elastic leg member 2 is fixed radially to the bottom surface of a substantially square cement-based panel L. Various other configurations are conceivable, such as providing a checkerboard pattern at regular intervals on the lower surface of the cement-based panel 1, or providing a suitable combination of band-shaped and disc-shaped elastic leg members 2.

Further, the cement-based banelt 1 is provided with a required groove or hole 3, and the groove or hole is configured to open toward the upper surface. As shown in FIG. 2, the vibration isolating plate M configured as described above is laid below the outer bottom protrusion m of the bathtub body l, and the bubble-generating bathtub A is placed on the floor surface r of the bathroom R. We are making it possible to set it up.

That is, the vibration isolating plate M is formed into a substantially rectangular shape that is slightly wider than the width W of the outer sole ridge m, and is laid on the floor surface r so as to be located at each end of each outer sole ridge m, The bathtub body 1 is placed on top of the bathtub body 1, and both ends of the outer bottom protrusion m are supported by the vibration isolating plates M, thereby completing the installation of the bathtub body l. Further, it is also possible to provide a recess κ-4 on the upper surface of the vibration isolating plate M, for example, on both sides of the cement panel 1, as necessary, into which the width of the outer bottom flange m fits.
With this configuration, it becomes possible to stabilize the placement of the bathtub body 10, and also facilitate the installation work of the bathtub body 1. In addition, if necessary, it is possible to strengthen the adhesion between the outer bottom ridge m and the vibration isolation plate M by interposing mortar or the like between the vibration isolation plate M and the outer bottom ridge m or at a part of the corner thereof. can. FIG. 8 shows another embodiment of the present invention, in which the bathtub body 1 is provided with a seat part 1a.
is supported on the floor surface r by this seat portion 1a via a vertically long outer sole.

In this embodiment, a foot jet nozzle 3 is provided below the seat part 1, and a vibration isolating plate M is installed between the vertically long outer sole protrusion {circle around (2)} and the floor surface r. It is configured so that vibrations from the nozzle 3 are not transmitted to the floor surface.

The embodiment of the present invention is constructed as described above, in which a vibration isolating plate M is laid below the outer bottom ridge m of the bathtub body 1, and the vibration isolating plate M is provided below the outer bottom ridge m. Even if bubble generating bathtub A starts operating because it is located at both ends of
Noise, vibration, etc. due to bubbles ejected from each nozzle will be removed from the bathroom R.
Since the vibrations are not directly transmitted to the floor surface r of the bathtub body 1, and a certain space is interposed between each outer bottom ridge m, this space acts to block vibrations and noise from the bathtub body 1. At the same time, since only the both end portions of the outer bottom ridge m come into indirect contact with the floor surface r due to the installation of the vibration isolating plate M, it is possible to reduce the area of transmitted vibration as much as possible while maintaining the weight of the bathtub. The main body l can be held securely. In particular, the weight of the bathtub body 1 is applied to each outer bottom ridge m, but since the vibration isolating plates M support both ends of the ridges m, it is possible to stably hold the weight of the bathtub body 1. In addition, it is easy to install the bathtub body 1 because the vibration isolating plate M is divided into several small pieces, and the installation work can be made more efficient with less time and effort such as transportation. .
