Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a pine surge current generator that applies a pine surge current to the electrodes to conduct between a pair of electrodes immersed in water in a bathtub; The present invention relates to a bath pine surge device equipped with an operating tool for adjusting the voltage of a pine surge current applied to an electrode.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, in the bath pine surge device as described above, as a means to display the voltage adjustment state by the operating tool, a scale is provided on the operating path of the lever-shaped or dial-shaped operating tool, or the operating direction is displayed (strong)
(weak) dial, or, in the case of tact switch-type operating tools, a row of indicator lamps that selectively light up depending on the voltage adjustment state. Ta.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in this type of bathtub pine surge device, the escape rate of the pine surge current discharged from the electrodes into the bath water varies depending on the material of the bathtub, so the voltage adjustment state by the operating tool is the same. However, the pine surge effect varies greatly depending on the bathtub material, but with the display means described above in conventional devices, the operator can actually take a bath and experience the pine surge current while adjusting the voltage state using the operating tool. Otherwise, it would be impossible to obtain an appropriate voltage adjustment state suitable for the bathtub material, which would be especially inconvenient when the bathtub pine surge device has been installed without any problems and is not yet used.

In addition, as mentioned above, with conventional display means, the compatibility with the bathtub material cannot be determined at all, so even though the bathtub is made of a material that prevents the pine surge current from escaping, a bather may not be able to adjust the voltage to a high level. When I took a bath carelessly, I experienced a strong pine surge current and was at risk of receiving a mild shock.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems through improvements.

[Means for solving problems]

The characteristic configuration of the bath pine surge device according to the present invention is that a pine surge current generator is provided for applying a pine surge current to the electrodes to conduct between a pair of electrodes immersed in water in a bathtub; In the configuration in which an operating tool for adjusting the voltage of the current is provided, the display means for displaying the voltage adjustment state by the operating tool includes a display section that displays a bathtub material type that is compatible with the voltage state adjusted by the operating tool. The functions and effects are as follows.

[Effect]

In other words, by providing the above-mentioned display section, the operator can adjust the voltage appropriately to suit the bathtub material without having to operate the operating tools while actually taking a bath and experiencing the pine surge current. Even if you do not have to do this, you can easily and accurately obtain it by simply operating the operating tools while checking the display, and conversely, when taking a bath, the display will also prevent errors when the voltage adjustment state is incompatible with the bathtub material. It can be recognized without any problem.

[Effect of idea]

As a result, the voltage adjustment of the pine surge current is easier than before (especially convenient when the operator is not accustomed to using it) and has excellent operability, and the voltage adjustment state is not compatible with the bathtub material. Because of this, it is possible to prevent the bather from getting hit by a shot, making it possible to create a bath pine surge device that is even more superior in terms of safety.
