DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a floor heating bathroom using a connecting pipe for connecting various hot and cold water supply devices installed inside and outside a bathroom and a circulating hot water circulation connector provided in a bathtub. .

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a typical bathroom of a house, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a bathtub 101 installed in a bathroom and a hot water supply device 102 installed outdoors are connected to a side portion 10 of the bathtub 101.
Hot water circulation connection fitting 1 attached to hole 104
A bathtub facility connected by a connecting pipe 05 and a connecting pipe 106 for hot and cold water and a connecting pipe 107 for hot water and returning (and extension connecting pipes 108 and 109) is provided.

By operating a circulating pump (not shown) built in the hot water supply device 102, the bathtub 10
1 is forcibly circulated between the hot water supply device 102 through the hot water outgoing connection pipe 106 and the hot water return path connection pipe 107 and the extension connection pipes 108 and 109, and the circulated hot water is supplied to the combustion section in the hot water supply apparatus 102. (Not shown) to heat the water.

[0004]

In the above-described configuration of the conventional bathtub equipment, when the hot water is boiled by the hot water supply device 102, the hot water in the original bathtub can surely be warmed, but the floor of the bathroom can be heated. It did not act to effectively warm the surface. Especially in winter, the bath room is cold for a bather until the bathtub cover (not shown) is opened and the bather enters the bathtub. Also, the cold felt on the soles of the feet when stepping into the bathroom was unpleasant, and it felt colder and was not good for the body.

[0005] The present invention has been developed in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to warm a floor surface portion that makes effective use of a connecting pipe for hot and cold water return and a connecting pipe for hot and cold water return. It is an object of the present invention to provide a floor heating bathroom that enables comfortable bathing.

[0006]

The present invention has the following configuration in order to effectively achieve the above object. That is, the floor heating bathroom according to the first aspect of the present invention includes a hot water circulation device provided in a hole formed in a side wall of a bathtub and a hot water supply device provided outside or inside the bathroom. The connecting pipe for hot water and the connecting pipe for hot and cold water return are connected by a connecting pipe for hot water and hot water, and the connecting pipe for hot water and the hot water return are connected to the connecting pipe for hot water and hot water in the bathroom. It is arranged to pass through the floor.

In the floor heating bathroom according to a second aspect of the present invention, in the configuration of the floor heating bathroom according to the second aspect, the connecting pipe for the hot water outgoing path and the connecting pipe for the hot water returning path are arranged so as to meander on the floor surface of the bathroom. It has a set configuration.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a floor heating bathroom of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing a simplified plane of a floor heating bathroom according to the present invention. In these figures, 1 is a bathroom, 2 is a bathtub installed in the bathroom 1,
Reference numeral 3 denotes a hot / cold water supply device installed outside the bathroom, 4 denotes a hot water circulation connector, and 5 denotes a floor surface of the bathroom.

The bathroom 1 has a floor 5, a ceiling, side walls, and an internal space closed by an entrance door. Of course, the bathroom may be a so-called unit bath in which a bathtub, a floor surface, and the like are integrally formed of a synthetic resin material.

A through hole 8 is formed in a side wall 7 of the bathtub 2 which faces the outer wall 6 of the bathroom 1 at a predetermined interval. The hot water circulation connector 4 is provided in the through hole 8. The hot water circulation connection device 4 is provided in the bathtub.
For discharging the hot water sent from the hot water supply device and returning the hot water in the bathroom 1 to the hot water supply device 3. Inside the hot water supply passage (not shown) and the hot water return passage (not shown) are provided. ) Are separately formed. Note that the hot water circulation connector 4 used in the floor heating bathroom according to the present invention is not limited to a predetermined type or form, and may be of any known type or form.

A hot water supply device 3 installed outside the bathroom 1 is a hot water supply device having an additional cooking function, and includes a hot water heating device (not shown) and a water circulation pump (not shown).
And so on.

The hot water supply apparatus 3 and the hot water circulation connection tool 4 are connected by a hot water outgoing connection pipe 9 and a hot water return connection pipe 10, and are connected between the hot water supply apparatus 3 and the bathtub 2. Hot water can be circulated by a pump (not shown). As the connection pipe 9 for the hot water path and the connection pipe 10 for the hot water return path, a metal pipe such as a copper pipe or a hose formed of a synthetic resin is used.

The connection pipe 9 for the hot water outgoing path and the connection pipe 10 for the hot and cold water return path are disposed so as to pass through the floor 5 as shown in the figure, and are bent so as to meander on the floor 5. It is. By meandering in this manner, the length of the connecting pipe 9 for the hot and cold water return route and the connecting pipe 10 for the hot and cold water returning route on the floor surface portion 5 are increased, and the contact length with the floor surface portion 5 is increased, thereby increasing the heat exchange effect. It is raised. The illustrated meandering shape is an example, and piping in other meandering forms is also free.
Further, the shape may meander to every corner of the floor portion 5.

The floor heating bathroom according to the present invention is constructed as described above. The bath tub 2 is filled with hot water, the hot water supply device 3 is operated, and the hot water in the bath tub is connected to the hot water circulation connection device 4 and the hot water forward path. By circulating between the hot water supply device 3 and the hot water supply device 3 via the connection pipe 9 and the hot water return connection pipe 10 and boiling the hot water, the floor 5 passes through the hot water forward connection pipe 9 and the hot water return connection pipe 10. Warmed by hot water. Therefore, when the bather enters the bathroom, the floor 5 is warm,
You can bathe comfortably without feeling cold or cold.

[0015]

As described above, in the floor heating bathroom of the present invention, the connection pipe for connecting the hot tub to the hot tub and the connection pipe for returning to the hot tub are connected to the floor of the bathroom. The hot water passes through the connecting pipe for the hot water outgoing path and the connecting pipe for the hot water returning path as the hot water in the bathtub is boiled by being arranged so as to pass through the surface portion, and the temperature of the hot water passing therethrough causes the floor surface of the bathroom to be heated. Is warmed. Therefore, when the bather enters the bathroom, the floor surface is warm and the bath can be bathed more comfortably. In addition, it is possible to prevent the bathroom from being heated and warm due to the heating of the floor surface portion, thereby preventing the bather's body from being adversely affected.

Further, the connecting pipe for the hot water path and the connecting pipe for the hot water returning path are arranged so as to meander on the floor of the bathroom, so that the floor can be warmed more effectively and the body can be placed on the floor. Even when washing, your feet are warmed and you can bathe more comfortably.
