Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a bath water agitator.

(B) Conventional technology Conventionally, as one form of bath used at home, there is a circulating bath consisting of a bathtub and a bath kettle. In the bath, the bathtub and the bath kettle are connected by an intake pipe and a discharge pipe. There is.

Then, the water in the bathtub sucked in by the suction pipe is heated in the bath kettle and further discharged into the bathtub by the discharge pipe to boil the bath water.

(C) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in the circulating bath having the above-mentioned configuration, since the suction pipe is provided above and the discharge pipe is provided below, the bath water from the bath pot is above the pipe. When it was discharged into the bathtub through the bathtub, the heated bathwater stayed in the upper part of the bathtub, and the temperature difference between the upper and lower bathwaters was remarkable.

As a result, the amount of heat released from the bath that accumulates in the upper part of the bath becomes large, and the efficiency of boiling water in the bath kettle deteriorates.

When bathing in such a bath, there is a risk of burns because the bath water in the upper part is heated to a high temperature.Before bathing, the bath water in the bathtub may be washed by stirring the bath water with a hot-water stick etc. A uniform temperature must be obtained, and such a stirring operation requires a lot of trouble.

(D) Means for Solving the Problems In the present invention, a buoyant body in which the bath water surface in a bathtub can float is formed with a communication flow path with its peripheral surface and bottom surface opened, and An injecting pipe for ejecting tap water downward is disposed in the communication passage of the body, and a long water supply hose from a tap or the like can be connected to the upper part of the injecting pipe. It is intended to provide a bath water stirrer.

(E) Action / Effect In the present invention, when boiling the bath water in the bathtub, a water supply hose is connected to the faucet, and the stirrer of the present invention is floated on the water surface of the bath water by the buoyancy body. When tap water is jetted from the jet pipe arranged in the communication flow path, a water flow from the upper part of the bathtub to the lower part is generated, and this water flow stirs the bathwater in the bathtub, and the temperature above and below the bathwater is increased. Can be uniform.

Therefore, the bath water agitator of the present invention eliminates the temperature difference between the upper and lower portions of the bath water, thereby improving the boiling efficiency of the bath kettle.

Also, by stirring the bath water with a stirrer, the bath water in the bathtub can be brought to a uniform temperature, and the bath can be easily bathed without the need for a stirring operation using a bath stick before bathing. You can

Furthermore, when tap water is ejected from the outlet of the jet pipe provided in the communication passage inside the buoyancy body above the bath water surface, negative pressure is generated in the communication passage due to the ejection action of the ejected water, and the opening on the side surface of the buoyancy body is made. As the hot bath water in the upper part of the bathtub is sucked into the buoyancy body from the part and spouts out from the bottom surface of the buoyancy body together with tap water, a vertical stirring flow in which the bathwater slowly recirculates is formed in the bathtub, and the stirring flow causes the upper part to rise. It is possible to make the bath water uniform by mixing the hot bath water in the above and the cold bath water in the lower part.

Moreover, even when the bath water level rises due to the jet of tap water, the floating body rises with the water level,
In particular, the hot bath water at the top of the bath can be surely sucked.

Also, when tap water from the faucet is ejected from the spout in the buoyancy body, the water pressure from the faucet causes the hose to swing, causing the buoyancy body to move automatically on the bath water surface. The stirring efficiency of hot water can be improved. Also,
By selectively moving the buoyancy body via the water supply hose, it is possible to position the buoyancy body at an arbitrary position in the bathtub and easily stir the bath water at the arbitrary position.

(F) Embodiments The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the overall side view of FIG. 1, (A) shows a circulating bath, and the bath (A) shows a bathtub (1) and a bath kettle. (2), the bathtub (1) and bathtub (2) are the discharge and suction pipes (3).
They are connected and connected at (4).

The discharge pipe (3) is attached to the upper portion of the bathtub (1), and the suction pipe (4) is attached to the lower portion of the bathtub (1), as shown in FIG.

In the circulating bath (A) having such a structure, the heated bath water (w) discharged from the upper discharge pipe (3) is tub (1).
The stirrer (5) of the present invention is installed in the bathtub (1) in order to retain the water in the upper part of the bath, and the stirrer (5) is used to bath water (w).
To a uniform temperature.

Therefore, the structure of the stirrer (5) will be described in detail below.

That is, the stirrer (5) is provided with an injection pipe (7) in a rectangular or circular buoyancy body (6), and the buoyancy body (6) is a buoyancy cover (6-1) made of synthetic resin. Styrofoam (8) or the like can be filled inside and floated on the water surface (L).

In addition, a stabilizer (9) is provided on the peripheral surface of the buoyancy cover (6-1).
Is attached, and the stabilizer (9) prevents the buoyant body (6) from rotating and overturning.

Further, the injection pipe (7) in the buoyant body (6) is
As shown in the figure, an ejection port (7a) provided at the tip of the buoyant body (6) is projected downward from the lower surface (6a).

Further, the base end portion (7b) of the injection pipe (7) projects to the upper side surface of the buoyant body (6), and the base end portion (7b) is connected to a water supply hose (12) connected to the faucet (11). The tap water is ejected from the ejection port (7a).

With such a structure, when the stirrer (5) is suspended on the water surface (L), the jet port (7a) of the jet pipe (7) on the lower surface (6a) of the buoyant body (6) can be always directed downward. it can.

Furthermore, the stirrer (5) floating on the water surface (L) in the bathtub (1) injects tap water from the jet outlet (7a) of the downward injection pipe (7), and the inside of the bathtub (1). Forming a stream of water in the
Bath water (w) can be stirred by this water flow.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the spout (7a) is formed in a diameter-reduced shape, and a flow velocity is added to the tap water spouted from the spout (7a), and the spouting amount of water can be increased. I have less.

The amount of bath water (w) increased by the stirrer (5) of the present invention is smaller than the initial amount of bath water (w) because the jet outlet (7a) is formed in a reduced diameter. Very little, but before the bath is boiled, the bath water (w) is adjusted by the agitator (5).
It is also possible to set the water level of the bath water (w) in consideration of the increase in the water level.

Therefore, when the bath kettle (2) is ignited and the stirrer (5) of the present invention is used, there is no problem due to the rise of the bath water (w) level, and the stirrer (5) By stirring the bath water (w) with water, the upper portion of the bath water (w) is not heated to a high temperature, so that heat radiation from the water surface can be prevented and the boiling efficiency can be improved.

As another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, the jet port (7a) of the jet pipe (5) is provided with a valve function, and the structure thereof will be described in detail. -1) has a needle (M) disposed therein, and the needle (M) adjusts the distance from the ejection hole (7-1) by rotating the ejection port (7a). , The amount of water jet can be adjusted.

In addition, (M-1) shows a support body of the needle (M) and the inner peripheral surface of the injection pipe (7).

Further, the inflow opening (14) and the outflow opening (15) are opened in the side surface (6d) and the lower surface (6a) of the buoyant body (6), and the inflow opening (14) and the outflow opening (15) are opened. Division (15)
And are communicated with each other through a substantially L-shaped communication channel (S) formed in the buoyant body (6), and in the vertical channel of the communication channel (S), a vertical injection pipe ( 7) is housed so that the jet outlet (7a) of the jet pipe (7) is located at the center of the outflow opening (15) of the lower surface (6a) of the buoyant body (6).

With this configuration, when tap water is jetted from the jet port (7a) of the jet pipe (7) provided in the communication channel in the buoyant body (6) on the surface of the bath water, the communication channel is generated by the ejection action of the jet water. The inside becomes negative pressure, the hot bath water in the upper part of the bathtub is sucked into the buoyancy body (6) through the inflow opening (14) on the side surface of the buoyancy body (6), and the outflow opening ( Since it spouts from tap water together with tap water, it forms a vertical stirring flow in which the bath water slowly circulates in the bathtub, and the hot flow in the upper part and the cold bath water in the lower part are mixed by the stirring flow, The bath water can be made uniform.

Moreover, even when the bath water level rises due to the jet of tap water, the buoyancy body rises with the water level,
In particular, the hot bath water at the top of the bath can be surely sucked.

Also, when tap water from the faucet is ejected from the spout (7a) in the buoyancy body, the water pressure from the faucet causes the hose to swing, and the buoyancy body (6) automatically moves on the surface of the bath water. As a result, the stirring efficiency of the bath water can be improved. Further, by selectively moving the buoyant body (6) via the water supply hose (12), the buoyancy body (6) can be positioned at an arbitrary position in the bathtub and the bath water at the arbitrary position can be easily stirred.
