Description
【０００１】[0001]
本考案は、入浴者が車椅子等の搬送車に乗った儘で入退浴することができる底 壁部に給排湯口を設けた車椅子入浴装置に関するものである。 The present invention relates to a wheelchair bathing apparatus having a hot water supply / exhaust port provided in a bottom wall for a bather to enter and leave a bath while he / she is on a carrier such as a wheelchair.
【０００２】[0002]
車椅子入浴装置としては、車椅子をリフトで持ち上げて浴槽内に降下させるリ フト方式、床面を掘り下げて形成したピットの上方で待機する車椅子に対して浴 槽のほうをピット内から上昇させる浴槽昇降方式、浴槽の一側壁部の開閉ドア付 出入口から車椅子を入退させる車椅子走行方式など、種々のタイプのものが知ら れるている。その中では、車椅子走行方式のものが、前二者に比較すると設備コ ストが低廉で、また、入浴者に対して違和感や不安感などを与えることもないの で有利とされている。 The wheelchair bathing device is a lift system that lifts the wheelchair and lowers it into the bathtub, and a bathtub elevating system that lifts the bathtub from inside the pit for a wheelchair waiting above the pit formed by digging down the floor. Various types are known, such as a system, a wheelchair traveling system in which a wheelchair is moved in and out through an entrance with an opening / closing door on one side wall of a bathtub. Among them, the wheelchair-running type is considered to be advantageous because the equipment cost is cheaper than the former two and it does not give the bather a feeling of discomfort or anxiety.
【０００３】[0003]
ところで、車椅子走行方式の入浴装置にあっては、車椅子を走行させて浴槽内 に入れてドアを閉め、その後に、浴槽内に必要量の湯を投入して入浴を行い、退 浴時には、浴槽内の湯を他所に移動させてからドアを開いて車椅子を浴槽外に走 行移動させるという、給排湯などの一連の所作が必須であるが、これら一連の所 作の内浴槽への給排水は素早く行われる必要がある。 それ故に、浴槽への給湯に時間がかかると、待機する入浴者が焦燥感を持った り、寒さを感じたりすることになるので、給湯は迅速に行われる。 By the way, in a wheelchair-traveling bathing device, the wheelchair is run to enter the bathtub, the door is closed, and then the required amount of hot water is poured into the bathtub for bathing. A series of actions, such as hot and cold water supply, is required, in which the hot water inside is moved to another place and then the door is opened to move the wheelchair outside the bathtub. Needs to be done quickly. Therefore, if it takes a long time to supply hot water to the bathtub, the waiting bather may feel frustrated or feel cold, so that hot water is supplied quickly.
【０００４】 このような迅速給湯は、浴槽に併設する貯湯槽に必要量の湯を貯えておき、そ れを送湯量の大なるポンプでもって一挙に浴槽内に供給する手段を採ることによ って可能になる。この場合には、多量の湯が一挙に浴槽内に流入するので、この 時、湯が浴槽壁にぶつかる時の衝突音や、空気中へ一旦出た湯が水面に落ちる時 の衝撃音等の大きな騒音が発生し、また、一給湯口から湯が入り、この湯が浴槽 中を移動する為入浴者が大きな湯の流動圧を受けることにもなるので、一時的に ではあるが入浴者にとって騒音や流動圧による恐怖感を覚え好ましくない状況に なるという別の問題が起きる。For such rapid hot water supply, a required amount of hot water is stored in a hot water storage tank attached to the bathtub, and the hot water is supplied to the bathtub at once by a pump having a large amount of hot water to be sent. It will be possible. In this case, a large amount of hot water flows into the bathtub all at once, and at this time, there is a collision noise when the hot water hits the wall of the bathtub, an impact sound when the hot water once released into the air falls on the water surface, etc. A loud noise is generated, and hot water enters from one hot water supply port, and this hot water moves in the bathtub, so the bather is also subject to a large fluid flow pressure of the hot water. Another problem arises: the fear of noise and fluid pressure makes us feel uncomfortable.
【０００５】 本考案は、このような問題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするとこ ろは、浴槽内への給湯を迅速に行えるものであり、給湯に伴う騒音が低減され、 且つ、大きな湯の流動圧を入浴者が受けることがないようにし、快適に入浴がで きる底壁部に給排湯口を設けた車椅子入浴装置を提供することにある。The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object thereof is to quickly supply hot water into a bathtub, reduce noise accompanying hot water supply, and Another object of the present invention is to provide a wheelchair bathing device in which a bather is prevented from receiving a large flow pressure of hot water, and a hot water supply / exhaust port is provided on the bottom wall portion for comfortable bathing.
【０００６】[0006]
この目的を達成するために、本考案においては、ドア（５）付の出入口(４)を 有する浴槽(１)と、それに併設される貯湯槽(２)とを、給排湯機構(３)で湯水往 来可能に連通接続し、浴槽(１)の給排湯口(７)を、浴槽の底壁部（３０）に設け てあることを特徴とする底壁部に給排湯口を設けた車椅子入浴装置である。 又、ドア（５）付の出入口(４)を有し、底壁部（３０）に給排湯口(７)が設け られた浴槽(１)を二基並設して浴槽（１）、第二浴槽（２６）とし、浴槽（１） の給排湯口(７ａ)及び第二浴槽（２６）の給排湯口(７ｂ)を給排湯機構(３)で湯 水往来可能に連通接続し、任意の一方を浴槽として入浴に用い、他方を貯湯槽と して貯湯に用いるようにしている。 In order to achieve this object, in the present invention, a bathtub (1) having a doorway (4) with a door (5) and a hot water storage tank (2) attached to the bathtub (1) are connected to a hot water supply / discharge mechanism (3). A hot water supply / drainage port is provided on the bottom wall of the bathtub (1), which is connected to the hot water supply / drain so that the hot water supply / drainage port (7) of the bathtub (1) is provided on the bottom wall (30) of the bathtub. It is a wheelchair bathing device. In addition, two bathtubs (1) each having a doorway (5) with an entrance (4) and a bottom wall (30) provided with a hot water supply / exhaust hot water outlet (7) are installed side by side, and a first bathtub (1), There is a second bathtub (26), and the hot water supply / exhaust port (7a) of the bathtub (1) and the hot water supply / exhaust port (7b) of the second bathtub (26) are connected by a hot water supply / exhaust mechanism (3) so that hot and cold water can come and go. One of them is used as a bath for bathing, and the other is used as a hot water storage tank for hot water storage.
【０００７】 又、浴槽(１)の底壁部（３０）に設けた給排湯口(７)を、給排湯機構(３)で湯 水往来可能に貯湯槽(２)に連通接続してなる車椅子入浴装置において、前記給排 湯機構(３)を、浴槽(１)から貯湯槽(２)に湯の移行時に浴槽（１）内に所定量の 湯を残留させるように構成している。 又、出入口（４）の下辺（３１）は底壁部（３０）より僅か高位置にあり、浴 槽（１）内において、下辺（３１）とほぼ同高の位置に底板(８)を着脱自在又は 開閉自在に設けている。さらに、底板(８)が、車椅子などの搬送車の車輪が通る 通路である。Further, a hot water supply / drainage port (7) provided on the bottom wall portion (30) of the bathtub (1) is connected to a hot water storage tank (2) by a hot water supply / drainage mechanism (3) so that hot water can pass therethrough. In the wheelchair bathing device, the hot water supply / drainage mechanism (3) is configured to leave a predetermined amount of hot water in the bathtub (1) when hot water is transferred from the bathtub (1) to the hot water storage tank (2). . The bottom side (31) of the entrance (4) is slightly higher than the bottom wall (30), and the bottom plate (8) is attached and detached in the bath tank (1) at a position almost the same as the bottom side (31). It is installed freely or can be opened and closed. Further, the bottom plate (8) is a passage through which wheels of a carrier such as a wheelchair pass.
【０００８】[0008]
上記のように構成される車椅子入浴装置によって入浴するときは、入浴者が乗 った車椅子をドア５が開いた出入口４から空状態の浴槽１内に走行進入させてか らドア５を閉じ、しかる後に、貯湯槽２に予め貯えておいた湯を、車椅子が入っ て待機している浴槽１内に給排湯機構３でもって移行させて入浴可能体勢にする 。 給排湯機構３による浴槽１内への湯の移動は、浴槽１の底壁部３０に設けられ ている給排湯口７から行われて、盛り上がるような状態で増量されて行くから、 僅かでも湯が入るとその湯の中に供給される湯が混入していくことになる。 故に従来装置の、給排湯口より吐出された湯が底壁部又は水面に叩き付けら れた時の衝撃音、空気中に吐出される湯が空気を巻き込み湯中に含まれた空気 が気泡になって湯面上ではじける破裂音、浴槽内の湯の移動に伴って浴槽側壁 にぶつかる時、湯面上で発する衝撃音、等が本構成では無くなる。 When bathing with the wheelchair bathing device configured as described above, the wheelchair on which the bather rides is made to run into the empty bathtub 1 through the doorway 4 with the door 5 opened, and then the door 5 is closed. After that, the hot water previously stored in the hot water storage tank 2 is transferred to the bathtub 1 in which the wheelchair is waiting by the hot and cold water supply / discharge mechanism 3 so as to be ready for bathing. The movement of the hot water into the bathtub 1 by the hot water supply / exhaust mechanism 3 is performed from the hot water supply / exhaust port 7 provided in the bottom wall portion 30 of the bathtub 1, and the amount is increased in a rising state. When hot water enters, the hot water supplied will be mixed into the hot water. Therefore, in the conventional equipment, the impact sound when the hot water discharged from the hot water supply / exhaust outlet is struck on the bottom wall or the water surface, the hot water discharged into the air entrains air, and the air contained in the hot water becomes bubbles. This structure eliminates the popping sound that pops up on the surface of the bath and the impact sound that is emitted on the surface of the bath when it collides with the side wall of the bath as the bath moves.
【０００９】 ドア５付の出入口４を備え、且つ底壁部３０に給排湯口７が開設された浴槽１ を、二基並列に設置し、両槽の給排湯口７ａ、７ｂの間を給排湯機構３で湯水往 来可能に連通接続して、任意な一方を浴槽とし他方を貯湯槽として用いることが できるように構成した場合には、双方の浴槽を交互に利用する。Two bathtubs 1 each having a doorway 5 with a door 5 and having a hot water supply / exhaust opening 7 provided in the bottom wall portion 30 are installed in parallel, and the hot water supply / exhaust openings 7a and 7b of both tanks are connected to each other. When the hot water discharge mechanism 3 is connected so that hot and cold water can pass therethrough and one of the two can be used as a bath and the other can be used as a hot water storage tank, both baths are alternately used.
【００１０】 また、上述の入浴装置における給排湯機構３を、入浴側の浴槽１内に常に所定 量の湯を残留させることができものとして設ければ、次の供給される湯の開始初 期から、浴槽１内に残留している湯の中に供給される湯するので、従来装置の、 給排湯口より吐出された湯が底壁部又は水面に叩き付けられた時の衝撃音、 空気中に吐出される湯が空気を巻き込み湯中に含まれた空気が気泡になって湯面 上はじける破裂音、等が無くなり、消音作用を果たすことになる。Further, if the hot water supply / drainage mechanism 3 in the above-described bathing device is provided so that a predetermined amount of hot water can always remain in the bathing bath 1 on the bathing side, it is possible to start the next hot water to be supplied. Since it is supplied to the hot water remaining in the bathtub 1 from the beginning of the period, the impact sound and the air when the hot water discharged from the hot water supply / exhaust port of the conventional device is struck against the bottom wall or the water surface The hot water discharged inside entrains the air, and the air contained in the hot water becomes air bubbles, which eliminates the popping noise that pops up on the surface of the hot water, thus providing a silencing effect.
【００１１】 さらに、浴槽１の底壁部３０の上方位置であって、出入口４とほぼ同高に底板 ８を着脱又は開閉自在に設ければ、底板８を経由して供給される湯が浴槽底部の 広範囲から増水して来る。底板８に小孔９を多数開け、開口面積を給排湯機構３ の管断面積よりも著しく大きくしている為、浴槽１内への湯の流速が大幅に下が り、湯が車椅子に乗って待機している入浴者に対して流動圧を与えることも少な くなる。 そして、大きな湯の流動を押さえ、従来装置における、浴槽内の湯の移動に伴 って浴槽側壁にぶつかる時湯面上で発する衝撃音を押さえ、消音作用を果たすこ とになる。 又、底板８を着脱又は開閉して、底壁部３０の清掃作業を行うこともできる。Furthermore, if the bottom plate 8 is provided above the bottom wall portion 30 of the bathtub 1 and at substantially the same height as the doorway 4 so as to be detachable or openable / closable, the hot water supplied via the bottom plate 8 can be supplied. Water rises from a wide area at the bottom. Since a large number of small holes 9 are opened in the bottom plate 8 and the opening area is made significantly larger than the pipe cross-sectional area of the hot water supply / exhaust mechanism 3, the flow velocity of the hot water into the bathtub 1 is drastically reduced, and the hot water becomes a wheelchair. The flow pressure is less likely to be given to the bather waiting for the ride. Then, it suppresses a large flow of hot water, suppresses the impact sound generated on the hot water surface when hitting the side wall of the hot water when the hot water moves in the bathtub in the conventional device, and performs a sound deadening effect. Further, the bottom plate 8 can be detached or opened / closed to clean the bottom wall portion 30.

A sloping table 6 is provided for facilitating smooth entry and exit of the wheelchair. The door 5 is attached to one vertical wall of the doorway 4 by a hinge 27 so that the doorway 4 can be watertightly closed in the closed state. Further, the sloping base 6 can be lowered to a position where it does not interfere when the door 5 is opened and closed, and can be raised to a predetermined position when the door 5 is open.
【００１４】 このように形成される浴槽１への供給される湯および浴槽１からの排湯は、浴 槽１の底壁部に設けられた給排湯口７から行われるようになっており、底壁部（ ３０）から上方に離間した位置には、底板８が設置されている。 底板８は、図１および図３に見られるように、浴槽１に入退する車椅子の車輪 が転動する通路として着脱または適宜な一辺を軸支して開閉自在に浴槽１の底部 に設けられ、底板８には、湯水が通過可能な小孔９が、給排湯機構３の配管径よ りも遥かに大きくなるように多数個開設されている。The hot water supplied to the bathtub 1 and the hot water discharged from the bathtub 1 which are formed in this manner are supplied from a hot water supply / drainage port 7 provided in the bottom wall of the bath tank 1, A bottom plate 8 is installed at a position spaced upward from the bottom wall portion (30). As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the bottom plate 8 is provided at the bottom of the bathtub 1 so as to be detachable as a passage for the wheels of a wheelchair that moves in and out of the bathtub 1 or to be opened and closed by pivotally supporting an appropriate side. The bottom plate 8 has a large number of small holes 9 through which hot water can pass, so that the holes are much larger than the pipe diameter of the hot water supply / exhaust mechanism 3.
【００１５】 一方、貯湯槽２は、必要量の湯水を貯え得る大きさに形成され、貯湯槽２内へ の湯水の流入及び貯湯槽２内からの湯水の流出は、浴槽１におけると同じように 貯湯槽底壁部に設けられた給排湯口１０から行われるようになっており、この貯 湯槽２の給排湯口１０と前記浴槽１の給排湯口７とが、給排湯機構３によって湯 水往来可能に連通されている。On the other hand, the hot water storage tank 2 is formed to have a size capable of storing a required amount of hot and cold water, and the inflow and outflow of the hot water into and from the hot water storage tank 2 are the same as in the bathtub 1. The hot water supply / drainage port 10 of the hot water storage tank 2 and the hot water supply / drainage port 7 of the bathtub 1 are connected to each other by the hot water supply / drainage mechanism 3. It is in communication with hot water.
【００１６】 前記給排湯機構３は、浴槽１の給排湯口７と、貯湯槽２の給排湯口１０との間 を二本の管路で連通接続し、浴槽から貯湯槽へ移動する排湯管路２８に介装され る第一ポンプ１１と、貯湯槽から浴槽へ移動する供給される湯管路２９に介装さ れる第二ポンプ１２とを、制御機構１３で自動的にコントロ−ルできるように構 成され、また、貯湯槽２の給排湯口１０あるいは浴槽１の給排湯口７に連通して 設けられる新湯供給経路のモ−タドライブ型ミキシングバルブ１４をも制御機構 １３でもって自動的にコントロ−ルできるように構成されている。The hot water supply / exhaust mechanism 3 connects the hot water supply / exhaust opening 7 of the bath 1 and the hot water supply / exhaust opening 10 of the hot water storage tank 2 with two pipes so as to connect the hot water supply / exhaust opening to the hot water storage tank. The control mechanism 13 automatically controls the first pump 11 installed in the hot water pipe 28 and the second pump 12 installed in the hot water pipe 29 supplied from the hot water tank to the bathtub. The control mechanism 13 also includes a motor drive type mixing valve 14 of a new hot water supply path which is provided so as to communicate with the hot water supply / exhaust opening 10 of the hot water storage tank 2 or the hot water supply / exhaust opening 7 of the bathtub 1. Therefore, it is configured so that it can be automatically controlled.
【００１７】 そして、制御機構１３は、排湯管路２８および供給される湯管路２９に設けら れた供給される湯、排湯温度センサ１５、１６と、前記ミキシングバルブの吐出 側に設置された温度センサ１７と、浴槽内の湯の充満状態を検出する充満検出セ ンサ１８と、浴槽内の残湯量を検出する検出センサ１９などからの入力信号を演 算処理して必要な出力信号を発し、第一ポンプ１１と第二ポンプ１２及びミキシ ングバルブ１４のモ−タを、それぞれ定められたように作動させることができる ものとなっている。 尚、図２に於いて、検出センサ９が所定の残湯量を検出すると第一ポンプ１１ が停止し、又、充満検出センサ１８が満湯を検出すると第二ポンプ１２が停止す る。The control mechanism 13 is installed on the hot water discharge pipe 28 and the hot water pipe 29 supplied, the hot water discharge temperature sensors 15 and 16 and the discharge side of the mixing valve. Output signal required by calculating the input signals from the temperature sensor 17 that has been operated, the filling detection sensor 18 that detects the filling state of the hot water in the bathtub, and the detection sensor 19 that detects the amount of hot water remaining in the bathtub. The motors of the first pump 11, the second pump 12, and the mixing valve 14 can be operated as prescribed. In FIG. 2, when the detection sensor 9 detects a predetermined amount of remaining hot water, the first pump 11 stops, and when the filling detection sensor 18 detects full hot water, the second pump 12 stops.
【００１８】 なお、上述の排湯管路２８と、供給される湯管路２９は、それぞれの中途部を 浴槽内の湯面の上限位置より高くして設けられ、その高くした部分にそれぞれ供 給される湯路、排湯路逆止弁２０、２１、及び供給される湯路、排湯路空気取入 れ弁２４、２５を介装している。 供給される湯路、排湯路空気取入れ弁２４、２５は検出センサ１９等からの信 号により開閉制御している。The above-described hot water discharge pipe 28 and supplied hot water pipe 29 are provided such that their midpoints are higher than the upper limit position of the molten metal surface in the bathtub, and are provided to the raised portions respectively. The supplied hot water channel, the hot water discharge channel check valves 20, 21 and the supplied hot water channel, the hot water discharge channel air intake valves 24, 25 are interposed. Opening and closing of the supplied hot water channel and the hot water discharge channel air intake valves 24 and 25 are controlled by signals from the detection sensor 19 and the like.
【００１９】 供給される湯路、排湯路逆止弁２０、２１で移動する湯の逆流を阻止し、さら に補助的に、供給される湯路、排湯路空気取入れ弁２４、２５で排湯、供給され る湯管路２８、２９に残留する負圧を消去し、湯の逆流を阻止している。 さらに、浴槽１の底部には、失禁時に、緊急に排湯するためのドレン路２２が 設けられ、そのドレン路の開閉バルブも、前記制御機構１３によって遠隔操作で きるようになっている。 また、図３に仮想線で示しているように、浴槽１の底部に気泡板２３を設けて いる。The supplied hot water channel and the hot water discharge channel check valves 20 and 21 prevent the backflow of the moving hot water, and further assist the supplied hot water channel and the discharged hot water channel air intake valves 24 and 25. The negative pressure remaining in the hot water supply and hot water supply pipe lines 28 and 29 is eliminated to prevent the backflow of the hot water. Further, a drain passage 22 is provided at the bottom of the bathtub 1 for the purpose of emergency drainage of hot water during incontinence, and the opening / closing valve of the drain passage can be remotely operated by the control mechanism 13. Further, as shown in phantom in FIG. 3, a bubble plate 23 is provided at the bottom of the bathtub 1.
【００２０】 図１〜図３の実施例のように構成された車椅子入浴装置によって入浴をする場 合は、新湯供給経路を経て供給される湯を先ず浴槽１へ入れ、その湯を貯湯槽２ へ移動して貯えておく。 そして、浴槽１が空の状態のもとでドア５を開き、入浴者が乗った車椅子を出 入口４から浴槽１内に入れて所定の場所に位置させてからドア５を閉める。When bathing with the wheelchair bathing device configured as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 3, the hot water supplied via the new hot water supply path is first put into the bathtub 1, and the hot water is stored in the hot water storage tank 2 Move to and store. When the bathtub 1 is empty, the door 5 is opened, the wheelchair for the bather is put into the bathtub 1 from the entrance 4 and positioned at a predetermined position, and then the door 5 is closed.
【００２１】 この準備所作が完了した後に、供給される湯管路２９の第二ポンプ１２を稼働 させて、貯湯槽２に貯えている湯を浴槽１内に移動させるのであるが、浴槽１内 への湯の進入は、浴槽１の底壁部に設けられた給排湯口７から行われ、底板８に 当って横に拡散されながら、底板８の小孔９を通って上方に盛り上がるように増 えて行く。 浴槽１に入り込んでくる湯は、浴槽１の内周壁面に直接激しく衝突することが 無く又湯面にぶつかることも無く、騒音を押さえた状態で流入し、又、供給され る湯が広面積にある多数の小孔９から上方向に流入するので湯に激しい流動は無 く、車椅子に乗って待機している入浴者に対して流動圧を与えることも少ないの である。After the preparation operation is completed, the second pump 12 of the hot water pipe 29 to be supplied is operated to move the hot water stored in the hot water storage tank 2 into the bathtub 1. Hot water enters the hot water supply / drainage port 7 provided in the bottom wall of the bathtub 1 and hits the bottom plate 8 to be laterally diffused and rise upward through the small holes 9 in the bottom plate 8. Increase. The hot water that enters the bathtub 1 does not collide violently with the inner wall surface of the bathtub 1 and does not hit the surface of the bath, flows in while suppressing noise, and the supplied hot water has a large area. Since it flows upward from a large number of small holes 9 in the bath, the hot water does not flow violently, and the bath pressure on the wheelchair waiting person is not so large.
【００２２】 このようにして静かな供給される湯が素早く行われて、浴槽１内に必要量の湯 を充満して入浴を行う。入浴が終われば、排湯管路２８の第一ポンプ１１を稼働 させて浴槽１内の湯を貯湯槽２側に移動させ、貯湯槽２側への湯の移動が終わっ た後に、浴槽１のドア５を開いて車椅子を浴槽１外に退出させるのである。 浴槽から貯湯槽への湯の移行は、全ての湯が浴槽１内から排出されてしまう前 に第一ポンプ１１が制御機構１３で停止されることによって浴槽１内に所定量の 湯が残るようになっている。即ち、出入口４の下辺３１は底壁部３０より僅か高 い位置とし、浴槽１内に残る湯は、浴槽１のドア５が開放されても槽外に流れ出 ることのない量に設定されている。In this way, the quietly supplied hot water is swiftly supplied, and the bath 1 is filled with the required amount of hot water for bathing. When the bathing is completed, the first pump 11 of the hot water discharge pipe 28 is operated to move the hot water in the bathtub 1 to the hot water storage tank 2 side, and after the movement of the hot water to the hot water storage tank 2 side is finished, The door 5 is opened to let the wheelchair exit the bathtub 1. The transfer of hot water from the bathtub to the hot water tank is such that a predetermined amount of hot water remains in the bathtub 1 by stopping the first pump 11 by the control mechanism 13 before all the hot water is discharged from the bathtub 1. It has become. That is, the lower side 31 of the entrance / exit 4 is set slightly higher than the bottom wall portion 30, and the amount of hot water remaining in the bathtub 1 is set so as not to flow out of the bath even when the door 5 of the bathtub 1 is opened. There is.
【００２３】 ついで、次の入浴者が入浴する場合は、最初の入浴の時と同じように、入浴者 が乗った車椅子を出入口４から浴槽１内に入れてドア５を閉めてから、第二ポン プ１２を稼働させて貯湯槽２から再び浴槽１へ湯を移行させるのであるが、この ときには浴槽１内に残留されている湯が供給される湯の開始初期から消音作用を 果たすことになって静かな供給される湯が素早く行われるのである。Then, when the next bather takes a bath, as in the case of the first bath, the wheelchair on which the bather rides is put into the bathtub 1 from the entrance 4 and the door 5 is closed, and then the second bather is closed. The pump 12 is operated to transfer the hot water from the hot water storage tank 2 to the bathtub 1 again, but at this time, the silencing action is to be provided from the beginning of the hot water supplied to the hot water remaining in the bathtub 1. The calm and hot water supplied is done quickly.
【００２４】 次に、図４及び図５は本考案の他の実施例を示しており、これにおいては、貯 湯槽の方も浴槽として用い得るものとして構成している。 つまり、車椅子等の車椅子が入退できるドア５付の出入口４を備え、かつ、底 壁部３０に給排湯口７が設けられた浴槽１を二基並設して、浴槽、第二浴槽１、 ２６の給排湯口７ａ、７ｂを給排湯機構３でもって湯水往来可能に連通接続し、 任意の一方を浴槽として用いるとき、他方を貯湯槽として用い得るよう構成して 、双方の浴槽に交互に入浴し、能率のよい入浴が行えるようにしている。なお、 図５の例においては、底板８が一枚板で形成された場合のものを示している。Next, FIGS. 4 and 5 show another embodiment of the present invention, in which the hot water storage tank can also be used as a bathtub. That is, two bathtubs 1 each having a doorway 4 with a door 5 for allowing a wheelchair such as a wheelchair to enter and exit, and a hot water supply / exhaust opening 7 provided on the bottom wall portion 30 are provided side by side to form a bathtub and a second bathtub 1. , 26 hot water supply / exhaust outlets 7a, 7b are connected by hot water supply / exhaust mechanism 3 so that hot and cold water can come and go, and when one of them is used as a bath, the other can be used as a hot water storage tank. The baths are alternated so that you can have an efficient bath. The example of FIG. 5 shows the case where the bottom plate 8 is formed of a single plate.
【００２５】[0025]
【考案の効果】 上記のように構成される車椅子入浴装置によって入浴するときは、入浴者が乗 った車椅子をドアが開いた出入口から空状態の浴槽内に走行進入させてからドア を閉じ、しかる後に、貯湯槽に予め貯えておいた湯を、車椅子が入って待機して いる浴槽内に給排湯機構でもって移動させて入浴態勢にする。この時、給排湯機 構による浴槽内への湯の移動は、浴槽の底壁部に設けられている給排湯口から行 われて、盛り上がるような状態で増量されて行く。 このような状況下における、給排湯口を底壁部に設けたことによる効果を述べ ると、湯が少しでも入ると給排湯口がその湯に埋もれ、従来装置の、給排湯口 より吐出された湯が底壁部又は水面に叩き付けられた時の衝撃音、空気中に吐 出される湯が空気を巻き込み湯中に含まれた空気が気泡になって湯面上はじける 破裂音、等を本考案では消音でき、供給される湯時に入浴者が騒音から受ける驚 愕や不快感を殆ど覚えることがなくなって好適な入浴が行える。[Effects of the Invention] When taking a bath with the wheelchair bathing device configured as described above, the wheelchair on which the bather rides is allowed to run into the empty bathtub through the door opening and closing the door, and then the door is closed. After that, the hot water stored beforehand in the hot water storage tank is moved into the bathtub where the wheelchair is waiting by the hot water supply / drainage mechanism to prepare for bathing. At this time, the movement of hot water into the bathtub by the hot water supply / drainage mechanism is performed from the hot water supply / discharge port provided on the bottom wall of the bathtub, and the amount is increased in a swelling state. In this situation, the effect of providing a hot water supply / exhaust port on the bottom wall is as follows: When hot water enters even a little, the hot water supply / exhaust port is buried in the hot water and is discharged from the hot water supply / exhaust port of the conventional device. The sound of impact when hot water is struck on the bottom wall or the surface of the water, the popping sound that the hot air discharged into the air entrains air and the air contained in the hot water pops into bubbles, and pops With the device, the sound can be silenced, and the bather can enjoy a suitable bath without feeling any surprise or discomfort from the noise when the bath water is supplied.
【００２６】 そして、ドア付出入口を備え、且つ底壁部に給排湯口が開設された浴槽を、二 基並列に設置し、両槽の給排湯口の間を給排湯機構で湯水往来可能に連通接続し て、一方を浴槽とし他方を貯湯槽として用いることができるように構成した場合 の効果を述べると、双方の浴槽を交互に利用して能率的のよい多人数入浴が行え 、しかも、浴槽設備に掛る経費の節減になり、設置場所に関しては省スペースト なり、好都合となる。Two bathtubs each having a door with a door and a hot water supply / exhaust opening on the bottom wall are installed in parallel, and hot water can be passed between the hot water supply / exhaust openings of both tanks by the hot water supply / exhaust mechanism. The effect of the configuration in which one of them is used as a bathtub and the other is used as a hot water storage tank is described as follows.Effectively many people can take a bath by alternately using both bathtubs. The cost of bathtub equipment will be reduced, and the installation location will be space-saving, which is convenient.
【００２７】 また、上述の入浴装置における給排湯機構を、入浴側の浴槽内に常に所定量の 湯を残留させることができるものとした場合の効果を述べると、供給される湯の 開始初期から、浴槽内に残留している湯に、給排湯口が埋もれており、残留湯中 に供給される湯が入って行くので、気泡破裂音等が押さえられることになって、 残留湯が消音作用を果たし騒音を一層低減できる。 従来、大容量のポンプで浴槽中の湯を浴槽の底位まで一挙に全部排出すると、 ポンプが空気を吸い込み、入浴者を驚愕する程の大きな音が出、さらには大容量 ポンプの急速摩耗劣化を招くので、これらの不具合を防ぐ為に、排湯中、湯が少 量になると小型ポンプに自動的に切り替える等の特別な構成とその制御が必要で あったが、本考案では、浴槽の底部に湯を残留させる構成とした為、前記の特別 な機構と制御は不要となり、製造コストの削減となった。 さらに、残留湯を残さず排水した場合に掛る時間相当分、退浴時間を短縮でき る事になる。In addition, the effect when the hot water supply / exhaust mechanism in the above-mentioned bathing device can always leave a predetermined amount of hot water in the bathing side is described. Therefore, the hot and cold water supply port is buried in the hot water remaining in the bathtub, and the hot water supplied into the residual hot water enters.Therefore, the bubble burst noise is suppressed and the residual hot water is silenced. The function can be achieved and the noise can be further reduced. Conventionally, when a large-capacity pump discharges all the water in the bathtub to the bottom of the bath at once, the pump draws in air and makes a loud noise that surprises the bather. In order to prevent these problems, a special configuration and its control, such as automatic switching to a small pump when the amount of hot water becomes small during drainage, were required to prevent these problems. Since the structure is such that the hot water remains at the bottom, the special mechanism and control described above are not required, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. In addition, the bathing time can be shortened by the amount of time required to drain all the remaining hot water.
【００２８】 さらに、浴槽の底壁部の上方位置に、出入口の下辺と同高に底板を着脱又は開 閉自在に設けた場合の効果を述べると、給排湯口から流入する湯が、底板の小孔 を通過して浴槽に充満し、さらに、給排湯口から流入する湯が、一旦底板に当た って四方に分散され、浴槽の下部の広面積から上方へと増水して来る事になるの で、浴槽内での湯の無用の流動を押さえる事となり、入浴者に不快な流動圧を与 える事が無くなって、好適な入浴が行える。 又、この底板の設置により、浴槽の底部に湯を溜めるくぼみがあるにもかかわ らず、出入口から浴槽の内奥に至るまで段差なく平坦となり、且つ、底板の上は 車椅子が通行できるので、入浴時、車椅子の操作に支障を与えず、好都合である 。Further, the effect of the case where the bottom plate is detachably attached or opened and closed at the same height as the lower side of the outlet above the bottom wall of the bathtub is as follows. When the hot water flowing through the small holes fills the bathtub and then flows in from the hot and cold water outlets, it once hits the bottom plate and is dispersed in four directions, increasing the water level from the large area at the bottom of the bathtub upwards. As a result, the unnecessary flow of hot water in the bathtub is suppressed, and the bather is not given an unpleasant flow pressure, so that a suitable bath can be performed. In addition, by installing this bottom plate, even though there is a pit that collects hot water at the bottom of the bathtub, there is no step from the entrance to the inside of the bathtub, and a wheelchair can pass over the bottom plate. It is convenient because it does not hinder the operation of the wheelchair when taking a bath.
【００２９】 又、底板を着脱又は開閉することができるので、浴槽の底壁部の清掃作業は底 板を着脱又は開閉して容易に行うことができる。Further, since the bottom plate can be attached / detached or opened / closed, the cleaning work of the bottom wall portion of the bathtub can be easily performed by attaching / detaching or opening / closing the bottom plate.
