Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an installation structure of a vibration-proof bubble bath for preventing vibration of a bath for ejecting bubbles such as compressed air.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 4 is a sectional view showing an example of a conventional method for attaching an apron portion of a bathtub. Conventionally, a bathtub for a house has a main body 26 of the bathtub 25 on a floor such as a concrete slab.
Put the mortar and bond in the lower part of the foot in a lump and bond and fix. In addition, a side wall 22 that is a rising wall is formed around the bathtub 25 to support the main body 26, and the side wall 22 is a block 3 that forms a basic wall surface.
An intermediate member 34 made of mortar or the like is provided on the side surface 35 a and the upper surface 35 b of the No. 5. On the side surface and the upper surface side of the intermediate member 34, a first exterior member 33 and a second exterior member 32, which are tiles or the like for decoration, are provided.
The upper surface of the exterior member 32 forms the installation surface 22 a of the side wall 22. Here, the apron part 2 around the edge of the bathtub 25
A correction gap 36 of about 10 mm is formed between 7 and the side wall 22 in order to absorb a construction error. Therefore, in order to prevent water from entering the outer surface 26a side of the body 26 of the bath 25, the correction gap 36 is filled with a seal member 30 made of a caulking agent such as silicone to fill the bath 2
5, the end surface 27a of the apron portion 27 and the installation surface 2 of the side wall 22
2a was attached. By the way, recently, a bubble bath for ejecting bubbles such as compressed air has been introduced for residential use for the purpose of increasing blood circulation when taking a bath, but the above-mentioned method of attaching the bath 25 is also adopted.

[0003]

By the way, if the bubble bathtub is installed in the same manner as the conventional bathtub 25, the vibration propagates to the surrounding skeletons and the solid propagation sound due to the vibration is generated to the adjacent dwelling units, especially the lower floor. Occurrence and noise problems are likely to occur. Therefore, a vibration isolation device such as a vibration isolation frame is usually installed under the bubble bath, and the apron portion of the bubble bath is sealed by the side wall 22 which is a rising wall and the seal member 30 made of a caulking agent such as silicon. This prevents vibration propagation. However, this makes it difficult to confirm the presence or absence of a vibration isolator after the installation of the bubble bath, and the workability is poor because the apron part is difficult to seal uniformly.

In view of the above circumstances, the present invention provides an anti-vibration system that prevents vibrations generated when bubbles such as compressed air are jetted out from being transmitted to the body around the bath tub without providing a vibration isolator at the bottom of the bath tub. An object is to provide an installation structure of a bubble bath.

As shown in FIG. 2, in the apron portion 3, the grip portions 4 and 4 project from the apron portion 3 downward in the drawing, and a seal groove 3b is formed between the grip portions 4 and 4, so that the entire circumference of the apron portion 3 is formed. Are provided on the grips 4, 4 and
The sealing groove 3b is provided with a water blocking and vibration isolating member 5 made of an elastic member such as urethane foam or hollow rubber. One end of the water blocking vibration isolating member 5 is provided over the entire circumference of the apron portion 3 so as to be in contact with the support portion 3a of the seal groove 3b of the apron portion 3, and the other end of the water blocking vibration isolating member 5 is attached to the foundation base 20. Side wall 2 that is a rising wall that is provided vertically (upward and downward in the figure)
It is provided so as to be in contact with the second installation surface 22a. That is,
The main body 2 includes the apron portion 3 of the main body 2 and the installation surface 2 of the side wall 22.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure, when water is stored in the water storage portion 2c of the main body 2 shown in FIG.
The load of the stored water is supported by the apron portion 3 of the main body 2 shown in FIG. 1 via the water blocking and vibration isolating member 5 so as to obtain a reaction force from the side wall 22. By the way, since the water blocking vibration isolating member 5 is made of an elastic member such as urethane foam or hollow rubber, it has a larger elastic force than a caulking member such as silicon. Even if a load of stored water is received, the amount of bending is small and the amount of bending is within the elastic deformation region. Further, since it follows the unevenness formed on the installation surface 22a of the side wall 22, it is possible to prevent water from entering the outer surface 2b side of the main body 2 shown in FIG. Next, the bubble adjusting switches 17 and 17 are operated to operate the pump unit 19 to supply compressed air or the like to the main body 2 side to generate and eject bubbles in the water stored in the main body 2. At this time, the vibrations generated when the pump unit 19 is operated are absorbed by the flexible joints 15A, 15A, 15B, 15B to prevent the vibrations from being transmitted to the side wall 22 and the main body 2 which are the surrounding frames. You can On the other hand, the main body 2 vibrates as bubbles are ejected. The vibration of the main body 2 is not transmitted from the bottom surface 2a to the floor surface 21 because the bottom surface 2a of the main body 2 is provided without contacting the floor surface 21. Further, since the main body 2 is in contact with the surrounding frame only through the apron part 3, the vibration is transmitted to the side wall 22 which is the surrounding frame only through the apron part 3. However, since the water blocking and vibration isolating member 5 is provided between the apron portion 3 and the installation surface 22a, the vibration of the main body 2 due to the ejection of bubbles is provided between the apron portion 3 and the installation surface 22a. It is possible to prevent the vibration from being transmitted to the side wall 22 by being absorbed by the water blocking and vibration isolating member 5. Further, by attaching the water-proof / vibration-proof member 5 to the apron section 3 in a factory or the like in advance, a seal member 30 made of a caulking agent such as silicone which has been conventionally used at a construction site (see FIG. 4 in the section of the prior art). Since the filling work of (shown) can be omitted, the labor for attaching the bathtub can be saved, and the quality control of the water blocking and vibration isolating member 5 can be reliably performed.

It should be noted that in the above-described embodiment, the water blocking and vibration isolating member 5 is used.
The case where the is composed of a single elastic member has been described.
The water-proof / vibration-proof member 5 may have any structure as long as it can prevent the vibration of the main body 2 caused by the jet of bubbles from being transmitted from the apron portion 3 to the side wall 22, and for example, the following embodiments can be considered. .. That is, as another example to which the present invention is applied, as shown in FIG. 3, in a vibration-proof bubble bath 1, a caulking agent such as silicon that forms the water-proof vibration-proof material 11 is provided on the installation surface 22a of the side wall 22. Water stop member 8
Is applied thinly with a substantially uniform thickness, and a partition member 7 in which two ring-shaped members forming the water-proof vibration isolator 11 are integrated is provided on the water-blocking member 8 over the entire circumference of the main body 2. It is attached to the water blocking member 8 in a surrounding shape. The partition member 7 is an inner ring 7a.
Is located on the outer surface 2b side of the main body 2, and the outer ring 7b is located on the outer surface 22c side of the side wall 22 (that is, the diameter of the outer ring 7b is larger than the diameter of the inner ring 7a). A fixed space 7c is formed between the first and second rings 7a and 7b. On the partition member 7, a vibration-proof member 6 made of an elastic member such as a vibration-proof rubber forming the water-proof vibration-proof material 11 is provided so that the lower surface of the vibration-proof member 6 in the drawing is in contact with the vibration-proof member 6. The upper portion of the member 6 in the drawing is in contact with the support portion 3a in the seal groove 3b of the apron portion 3 so as to contact the apron portion 3a.
Is provided all around. With the configuration as described above, the unevenness of the installation surface 22a of the side wall 22 is filled with the water blocking member 8, so that the uneven installation surface 22a is reliably sealed. Further, when the vibration damping member 6 is bent under the load of the main body 2, part of the bent vibration damping member 6 bites into the fixed space 7c of the partition member 7, so that the main body 2 slides in the horizontal direction. It is difficult and fixed, and the space between the partition member 7 and the vibration isolating member 6 can be reliably sealed.

As described above, the present invention has the main body 2 capable of storing water, the bubble bath which can eject bubbles into the water stored in the main body 2, the side wall 22 and the like. In a bathtub installation structure that is installed via an installation surface such as an installation surface 22a formed on the body in a bathtub installation space 10 formed in a concave shape by a body, an apron portion 3 is provided at an edge of the main body 2.
Is provided over the entire circumference of the main body 2 so as to project laterally from the main body 2 and faces the installation surface, and a water-proof waterproof member made of an elastic member is provided between the apron portion 3 and the installation surface. The vibrating member 5 is provided so as to be in contact with the apron portion 3 and the entire circumference of the installation surface, and the main body 2 is configured to be supported in the bathtub installation space 10 only through the apron portion 3. Therefore, the vibration of the main body 2 generated when the bubbles such as compressed air are jetted is transmitted to the body only from the apron portion 3 supporting the main body 2, and the vibration from the apron portion 3 is absorbed by the water blocking vibration isolating member 5. This prevents the vibration of the main body 2 due to the jet of bubbles from being transmitted to the surrounding skeletons. Therefore, even if a vibration damping device is not provided at the bottom of the bath, the vibration generated when the bubbles such as compressed air are jetted around the bath. It can be prevented from being transmitted to the body. Further, by attaching the water blocking and vibration isolating member 5 to the apron section 3 in advance, it is possible to omit the filling work of the caulking member after installing the bathtub, which has been conventionally performed at a construction site, thus saving labor in installing the bathtub. While you can
The quality control of the water blocking / vibration preventing member 5 can be surely carried out. Furthermore,
Since the water-proof vibration isolating member 5 is made of an elastic member, the water-proof vibration isolating member 5 has a larger elastic force than a conventionally used caulking member such as silicon. Even when a load of 1 is received, the amount of bending is significantly smaller than that in the case where the main body 2 is supported only by the conventional caulking member, which is the amount of bending within the elastic deformation region. Further, since the unevenness is also followed, it is possible to prevent water from entering the outside of the main body 2 without using the caulking member.

Further, the present invention has a main body 2 capable of storing water, and a bubble bath capable of ejecting bubbles into the water stored in the main body 2 is formed in a concave shape by a skeleton such as a side wall 22. Installation surface 2 formed on the body in the bathtub installation space 10

A water-proof and vibration-proof material 11 comprising a water-stop member 8 and the vibration-proof member 6 and a partition member 7 provided between the water-stop members 8.
And the main body 2 is supported in the bathtub installation space 10 only through the apron portion 3, so that in addition to the above-mentioned effect, the installation surface supporting the main body 2 is still water-stopped. By applying the member 8, the unevenness of the installation surface is filled with the water blocking member 8, so that the installation surface side can be reliably sealed. Further, when the vibration-proof member 6 is flexed under the load of the main body 2, a part of the flexed vibration-proof member 6 is fixed to the partition member 7 so that the main body 2 slides horizontally. It is difficult and fixed, and the space between the partition member 7 and the vibration isolating member 6 can be reliably sealed.
