Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] This invention is a jet type in which a pump and a jet nozzle that spout hot water sucked from inside the bathtub are separated, and the pump is placed in a corner outside the bathtub. This invention relates to an in-bath pine surge device.

[Conventional technology]

The hot water in the bathtub is sucked and mixed with air, or the hot water is squirted into the bath at the required pressure without mixing air, and this jet stream stimulates the bather's skin to perform in-bath pine surge. Jet bath pine surge devices are known.

For example, as shown in FIG. 6, this type of conventional device has a structure in which a blowout nozzle 2 and a pump 3 are both placed inside a bathtub 1, and the air in the bathroom is drawn in from a hose (not shown) or the like. Air is mixed with hot water sent from a pump 3 through a hose 4, and the mixture is jetted into the bathtub from the jetting nozzle 2 at a required pressure.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, in the conventional device, the pump 3 is disposed inside the bathtub 1 as shown in the figure, so there is a problem that the inside of the bathtub becomes narrower. In other words, in general households, there is not enough space in the bathroom, so there is a limit to the size of the bathtub, so if the inside of the bathtub is narrowed by the pump, you will not feel relaxed while taking a bath. Since pine surge cannot be performed, there is an inconvenience that the long-awaited pine surge effect is halved. Moreover, in order to use the pump 3 submerged in the bath, sufficient consideration must be given to waterproofing devices such as insulation of the power supply, and such consideration has rather led to higher costs. Therefore, such inconvenience,
It has been desired to develop a bath pine surge device that can alleviate the uneconomical effects.

This invention was developed to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, and its purpose is to make it possible to effectively utilize the dead space in bathtubs and bathrooms, and also to improve the insulation of the power supply. An object of the present invention is to provide a jet-type in-bath pine surger device that can alleviate conventional considerations.

[Means for solving problems]

The present invention employs the following means to achieve the above object. That is, the present invention provides a jet-type bath pine surge device that includes a jet nozzle installed in a bathtub, and a pump that guides hot water sucked from inside the bathtub to the jet nozzle and jets it into the bath from the jet nozzle. The outer shape of the pump housing is formed to match the shape of the outer corner of the bathtub, and the pump housing is attached to the outer corner of the bathtub via an appropriate attachment means. This is a means to solve the problem.

[Effect]

In the present invention configured as above,
The pump is mounted outside the bathtub by means of mounting means, for example at a corner of the top edge of the bathtub. This corner of the top edge of the bathtub is originally a dead space outside the bathtub that cannot be used effectively, so even if a pump is placed in that space, the effective use of the bathtub and bathroom space will be reduced. Never. In this way, by placing only the spouting nozzle inside the bathtub and installing the pump using the above-mentioned dead space, pressurized hot water can be sprayed from the spouting nozzle without constricting the effective space of the bathtub or bathroom. It becomes possible to enjoy a relaxing and comfortable bathing experience.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings. In the description of this embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in the conventional example are given the same reference numerals, and redundant explanation thereof will be omitted.

FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of the present invention. A feature of this embodiment is that the outer shape of the corner portion of the housing of the pump 3 is formed to match the shape of the corner portion 9 of the upper edge of the bathtub 1. That is, as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b, for example, the corner 9 of the upper edge of the bathtub 1
If the corner 9 of the upper edge of the bathtub 1 is square, the shape of the back of the pump housing should be arcuate. They are each formed into a triangular shape so that the pump 3 can be attached to the outside of the bathtub 1.

On the other hand, a suction cup device 5 as a mounting means is provided at a desired position of the pump 3 (for example, on the bottom surface of the pump 3 as shown in FIG. 3). This sucker device 5
consists of an elastically deformable flat bowl-shaped suction cup 6 and a support rod 7 whose one end is fixed to the suction cup and whose other end is screwed to the frame of the pump 3.
By rotating the support rod 7 to a desired position, the support rod 7 is screwed back and forth, allowing the height of the pump 3 to be adjusted as desired. In this embodiment, three suction cup devices are provided, and the pump 3 is suctioned and fixed to the corner 9 of the upper edge 8 of the bathtub 1 by stable three-point support as shown in FIG. There is.

The pump 3 does not necessarily need to be directly fixed to the upper edge 8 of the bathtub 1, but may be fixed to a corner wall of the bathroom as shown in FIG. 5 as the case may be. In this case, for example, a pair of support rods 1 that are rotatable and length adjustable are attached to the upper end surface of the pump 3.
0, 11 are provided, and each support rod 10, 1 is provided.
A suction cup 6 is provided at the tip of the support rod 1, and the rotational position and length of the support rods 10 and 11 are adjusted according to the angle of the tile wall surface and the distance to the wall surface.
By pressing the pump 3 against the wall, the pump 3 can be fixed to the tile corner wall of the bathroom. In addition, in FIG. 1, 13 is a hose for sucking hot water in the bathtub 1, and 12 is a suction cup that holds the hose 4.

In the above embodiment, a removable suction cup device is used as a mounting means for the pump 3, but this may be configured by other removable means such as bolt fastening. Alternatively, it may be attached non-removably by welding or the like.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the pump 3 is formed to match the shape of the corner of the upper edge of the bathtub 1,
Since it can be directly attached to the upper edge 8 of the bathtub 1, the so-called dead zone of the bathtub 1 can be utilized. Moreover, since the structure allows the width space of the upper edge 8 of the bathtub 1 to be used as is as an installation space for the pump 3, the amount that the pump 3 protrudes from the hot water surface in the bathtub 1 is such that the pump 3 can be placed in a corner of the bathtub. It is much smaller than when it is installed, and it can also be installed in the corner of the bathroom, so the effect is that the space in the bathtub and bathroom can be used effectively.

Note that when the pump 3 is installed in a corner of the bathroom away from the bathtub 1, the corner of the housing of the pump 3 must be aligned with the corner of the bathroom wall. If it is placed near the bathtub, it is convenient that the switch for the pump 3 can be operated from inside the bathtub.

Further, in the device of this embodiment, air (bubbles) is mixed with the hot water sucked from the bathtub, and the mixture is jetted into the bath from the jet nozzle 2, but only hot water may be spouted into the bath. However, if air is not mixed, no ultrasonic waves will be generated in the bath, and the pine surge effect will be somewhat reduced.

[Effect of idea]

As explained above, the present invention has a structure in which the pump and the jet nozzle are separated and the pump is placed in a corner outside the bathtub, so the inside of the bathtub can be used widely and comfortably. Also, the dead space in the bathroom can be used effectively. In addition, considerations for insulating the pump's power supply can be greatly eased compared to the conventional method of immersing the pump in the bathtub.
It is possible to reduce the cost of the device and reduce the economic burden on the user.
