Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Field of Application> The present invention relates to a bathtub cleaning device that can easily clean stains from the bathtub mouth rim and water surface.

<Prior Art> Some conventional bathtubs have a shock absorber attached to the flange; see, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Nos. 1-70016 and 1-139024.

<Problems to be Solved by the Invention> However, although there are bathtubs equipped with buffers as in the conventional example, there are no bathtubs with a structure that allows for easy washing off of dirt; T on flange part
In those equipped with an ILff II body, the boundary between the bathtub and the shock body is easily soiled and difficult to clean, and dirt adheres to the dripping surface inside the bathtub.

The occurrence of such stains was a daily occurrence, and it was a significant burden on housewives who had to wash their clothes every time.

Therefore, the present invention aims to eliminate the drawbacks of the above-mentioned conventional bathtubs and provide a bathtub that is easy to wash.

Means for Solving the Problem> A flushing pipe and a detergent pipe each having a large number of water sprinkling holes are installed on the inner surface along the inside of the bathtub of a buffer body provided by covering the flange of the bathtub, and the flushing pipe is is connected to a hot water mixing faucet, and a detergent pipe is connected to a detergent tank via a detergent delivery pump.

When cleaning the bathtub before supplying water to the bathtub, when the pump is driven to the detergent pipe and the detergent is delivered from the tank, the detergent flows out from the entire circumference of the bathtub flange, uniformly moistening the inside of the bathtub. Therefore, in this state, stop the operation of the detergent pump,
Thoroughly wash the inside surface of the bathtub with a sponge or other cleaning tool, then open either the hot or cold water tap on the hot/cold mixer faucet to allow hot water or water to flow into the washing pipe to remove dirt that has adhered to the inside wall of the bathtub. It is completely washed off. In addition, in the case of light dirt, the dirt can be washed off by water pressure without the need for manpower by simultaneously delivering detergent and hot or cold water.

<Embodiment> The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments shown in the drawings. As shown in FIGS. A foam-molded M shock body 3 is mounted, and a mounting piece 5 protruding from the core material 4 inserted into the shock absorber 3 is screwed onto the lower surface of the flange 2 with screws 6. A large number of water sprinkling holes 8 are provided in the circumferential groove formed between the bathtub flange 2 and the
A flushing pipe 7 with a hole in it and a detergent pipe 9 with a large number of detergent holes 10 in the same way are installed along the upper surface of the flange 2, and the base end of each flushing pipe 7 is connected to a hot water pipe placed beside the bathtub 1. Mixing faucet 1
The hot water tap 15 of the hot water mixing tap 14 connected to the secondary side of 4
Hot water or cold water from the faucet 16 is arbitrarily taken in or mixed hot water is introduced to the flush pipe 7, and the base end of the detergent pipe 9 is connected to the headrest 3 formed by the buffer body 3. It is connected via a delivery pump 11 to a detergent tank 12 provided inside the machine.

In the figure, reference numeral 13 indicates detergent replenishment port 1 to the detergent tank 12.
Reference numeral 6 indicates a faucet for injecting water into the bathtub.

Next, talking about the operation, when cleaning the inside of the bathtub before heating water for bathing, first the detergent delivery pump 1
1, the detergent in the detergent tank 12 is sent to the detergent pipe 9, and the detergent flows out through the detergent hole 10 to the inner edge of the flange 2 of the bathtub 1. When the surface of the bathtub is evenly moistened with detergent, the delivery pump is activated. 11 is stopped.

Then, use a sponge or other cleaning tool to wipe it clean, and then operate the hot water mixer faucet 14.

That is, in the summer, open the water tap 16, or in the middle of the season or in the winter, open the hot water tap 15 and the water tap 16 at an appropriate rate to allow hot water to flow to the flush pipe 7, and then lightly brush the surface of the bathtub. The attached dirt is washed away with clear water (warm water) and cleaned thoroughly.

In addition, in the case of light dirt, the dirt can be easily washed off by water pressure without the need for manpower by simultaneously delivering detergent and hot or cold water.

In the above configuration, the evacuation pump is installed in the headrest, but it is not limited to the above configuration. Note that a neutral or weakly alkaline detergent is suitable as the detergent.

<Effects of the Invention> As described above, the present invention provides a flush pipe leading to the hot water mixing faucet and a detergent pipe leading to the detergent tank, respectively, in the circumferential groove of the M barrier covering the flange portion of the bathtub. This allows the detergent to be evenly sprayed onto the inner surface of the bathtub, making cleaning, which was previously a hassle, much easier.

Furthermore, by passing the flushing water through the flushing pipe, the flushing water flows all at once from the entire circumference of the mouth of the bathtub along the wall surface of the bathtub, making it possible to easily wash away dirt by simply wiping the interior surface with a sponge or the like.

Therefore, the cleaning work is easier than before when washing every time you take a bath, and it is especially useful for elderly people and disabled people because the piping is installed inside the Mm body. This is a valuable invention.
