Classification nozzle type bathtub with lighting {BLOW-OFF NOZZLE TYPE BATHTUB WITH ILLUMINATION}
[11] FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to illuminated nozzles for bathtubs, and more particularly, to enhance mental fatigue by illuminating the bathtub, while enhancing the effect of physical fatigue by assigning the hot water to the bathtub. The present invention relates to a jetted nozzle nozzle with lighting.
[12] As a conventional bath, for example, a bath as shown in perspective view in Fig. 1 and in the Y-Y sectional view in Fig. 2 is generally known. That is, the tub 100 embeds a rectangular tub container 101 into the top surface 110, and a bather puts a waist on the bottom surface 102 of the tub container 101. The semi-circular chair portion 103 is formed, and on both sides of the tub container 101, a handle 104 is provided for the bather's hands to be held, and at one end of the tub container 101, the bather takes the head portion. A headrest 105 made of rubber or the like for contacting is provided, and hot water or water is supplied to the tub container 101 from the water inlet 106. In a relatively shallow bath, it is also known that a slope, or so-called backrest, inclined from the top to the bottom is provided on the inner surface of the bath main body in order to relax the bathing posture of the bath body.
[13] However, in a bathtub having such a general structure, since there is no taste or a sense of quality, it is impossible to give a bather a high fatigue recovery effect and a mental relaxation effect.
[14] On the other hand, in recent years, the bathtub with the underwater lighting ("water light") like the cross-sectional view shown in FIG. 3 which concentrates the taste so that the inside of a bathtub is directly illuminated with a light source has emerged. That is, the tub 200 cuts out a part of the side wall 202 or the bottom wall 203 of the tub container 201 for light transmission to form an opening 204, and a transparent member such as a lens on the inner surface thereof ( 205 is attached, and a light emitting member 206 such as a lamp lit by a switch (not shown) is provided in the opening 204 to illuminate the inside of the tub container 201.
[15] However, in the bathtub 200 with the underwater light formed by forming the opening 204 for transmitting light in the bathtub wall in this way, hot water leaks from the opening 204 and the light emitting member 206 is caused by this leakage. In the case of a lamp, there is a risk of short circuit. Therefore, the transparent member 205 is provided on the inner surface of the container, and the sealing member 207 must be provided on the rear surface of the container as shown in the figure. It becomes expensive. Moreover, even if such a means is taken, there is a possibility of leakage or leakage due to fatigue over time. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out maintenance check and safety check at all times. In addition, since the direct lighting, the bather's eyes are tired and the relaxation feeling is attenuated.
[16] In addition, in recent years, a jet bath (or jet bath) or blower in which hot water in which bubbles are mixed is injected into hot water in a bath for the purpose of enhancing a thermal effect or a massage effect. Blower-baths (or bubble baths) and the like that allow air to be generated to generate bubbles are known. 4 shows an example of a jet bath, and as shown, the bath 300 is a hot water intake 303 and a jet discharge 304 that are in a penetrating state through the peripheral wall 302 of the bath vessel 301. ), The circulation pump 307 is driven by the switch 308 to suck in the hot water in the tub container 301 from the hot water intake 303 through the suction pipe 305, the supply pipe 306 It is supplied to the jet discharge unit 304 through the discharge to the tub container 301. The blower bath is configured to blow air into hot water in the tub container by using a blower, a compressor, or the like instead of the circulation pump 307.
[17] However, according to the jet bath tub 300 or the blow bath tub formed by forming the piping structure exclusively in this manner, there is certainly a heating effect or a massage effect, which is effective in recovering physical fatigue, but it is a mental relaxation effect. It was impossible to raise it.
[18] The present invention has been made in the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to satisfy both the physical fatigue recovery effect and the mental relaxation effect, which are not found in the conventional bathtub, and also to provide a classy nozzle with illumination that provides a sense of quality. It is to provide a type bathtub.

[29] Reference numeral 28 is a slip washer made of a polyester film, and 29 is a rubber packing, whereby the body 24 and the foot 26 are firmly mounted to the bottom wall 13.
[30] When each component mentioned above is assembled, the unit 20 as shown in FIG. 7 is comprised. The unit 20 is mounted in a predetermined number (ie, eight) holes 14 formed in the bottom wall 13 of the tub container 11 as through holes. 5 shows a state when all of these units 20 are mounted.
[31] 10 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of the light source device 30. In the figure, 31 is a motor, 32 is a disc of a color filter rotated by the motor 31, and 32r, 32b, 32g, and 32y are laminated on the disc 32, respectively. Red, blue, green, and yellow color filters, 33 are halogen lamps for irradiating light on the original plate 32, 34 are fans for cooling, and 35 are shown as virtual lines for storing the respective parts. It's a box. With respect to the light source device 30 configured as described above, as described above, the end portions 80a of the fiber cables 80 which are all bundled with the optical fiber group 21 and accommodated in the cable are boxed by the cable connectors 81. It is fixed to 35, and the end surface is arrange | positioned in the position which receives the light illuminated from the halogen lamp shown by the arrow via the disk 32. As shown in FIG.
[32] Since the main bath 10 is comprised as mentioned above, when hot water is stored in the bathtub container 11, and the switch 60 arrange | positioned in a bathroom is turned on, the light source device 30 will be controlled through the control apparatus 50. FIG. ), The halogen lamp 33 emits light, and the motor 31 is driven to rotate the color filter disc 32, and the light through each color filter is sequentially (for example, red, blue, green, yellow). Is irradiated to the cross section of the distal end portion 80a of the fiber cable 80. This light is guided to the distal end portion 21a through the optical fiber group 21 and irradiates hot water in the bath vessel 11 through the nozzles 23a and 23b from the hollow portion 23c of the cap 23. do. When light is irradiated to hot water in this way, the color of the hot water gradually changes, and each color shines brightly, so that the bather can feel as if he is bathing in a fantastic world, and can bathe in a very relaxed mood. Therefore, according to the main bath 10, a mental relaxation effect can be heightened.
[33] Moreover, the blower 40 is driven through the control apparatus 50 by the ON of the switch 60, the valve 70 is opened simultaneously, and air is sent to the blower pipe 22. As shown in FIG. The air sent to this blower pipe 22 is an air induction path 24d of the body portion 24B of the body 24 from the cavity portion 26a of the foot 26, as indicated by a dotted line and an arrow F in FIG. It is led to the hollow part 23c of the cap 23 through the air nozzles 24a and 24b of the head part 24H of the body 24, and again the nozzles 23a and the head part of the head part of the cap 23 ( Hot water in the bath vessel 11 through 23b). When air is injected from the bottom wall 13 of the bathtub container 11 in this way, a bubble rises toward the liquid level, and this bubble disappears at the liquid level. There is an effect that negative ions are generated by the generation and disappearance of such bubbles, and these ions act on the bather to activate the body. In addition, with the generation of air bubbles, liquid flows in the bath, and this attraction gives the body a mild stimulus different from that of a jet bath. Accordingly, the bather receives a massage effect together with the warming effect, thereby improving blood circulation and recovering physical fatigue.
[34] In this manner, according to the main bath 10, two kinds of mental relaxation effects and physical fatigue recovery effects are obtained at the same time, and a distinct effect that high quality is obtained because hot water shines brightly and beautifully is obtained.
[35] Moreover, in the main bath 10, since the head part of the cap 23 for fluid jet and illumination light irradiation attached to the bottom wall 13 of the bathtub container 11 is formed in spherical shape, it is nozzle 23a, 23b. The air jetted from) and the irradiated illumination light widen in all directions in the bathtub. For this reason, bubbles can be generated in the whole hot water in the bathtub, and the illumination light can be made to shine. In addition, if such a cap 23 is formed in the bottom wall 13, it can prevent a bather from slipping feet by falling in a bathtub.
[36] When the switch 60 is turned off after the bathing, the valve 70 is closed through the control device 50, and the driving of the blower 40 and the light source device 30 is stopped at the same time. When the supply of air is stopped in this way, the hot water in the tub container 11 flows back through the air supply path indicated by the arrow F in FIG. 7 and flows up to the position of the valve 70 provided in the blower pipe 22 to be stored. The stored hot water returns to the tub container 11 by turning on the switch 60 again to open the valve 70 and restarting the blower 40 at the same time. In addition, when all the bathing of that day is complete | finished, the drain opening 15 formed in the bottom wall 13 is opened, the hot water in the bathtub container 11 is drained out, and the switch 60 is turned on and it is in a ventilation path. The remaining hot water stored in the bath is discharged into the tub container 11 to perform a residual water treatment to be drained from the drain port 15.
[37] As mentioned above, although the content of this invention was demonstrated according to one Embodiment, this invention is not necessarily limited to this embodiment, The following various changes are possible in the structure.
[38] First, the above embodiment is a blower-type bathtub which injects air into hot water in the bathtub, but instead of this air, a jet bath-type bathtub injecting hot water by a known method using a circulation pump or the like is used. It is also possible. In the jet bath system, since the stimulation to the body is strong, it is preferable that the bath is a blower bath in which the stimulation is gentle in the bathtub with lighting as in the present invention.
[39] In addition to the spherical shape, the head shape of the cap for fluid ejection and illumination light irradiation can be formed into a cone shape or a saddle shape, and the number and size of the nozzles formed by the through holes in the head part are also required. Therefore, of course, it is changed in various ways.
[40] The light source in the illumination light source device is not limited to a halogen lamp, and various lamps including, for example, an LED (light emitting diode) and a fluorescent lamp can also be used. Moreover, the magnitude | size and number of the optical fiber which is a light guide member can also be changed arbitrarily as needed. Moreover, the light source color used for illumination can be changed into a desired color by having a kind of color filter, and also the rotation speed of the original plate provided with this color filter can be controlled at arbitrary speed as needed. Of course.
[41] As described above, the light-dividing jet nozzle type bathtub according to the present invention has a simple cap composed of a cap having a plurality of nozzles for irradiating and irradiating light with a fluid, and a member for supplying fluid to the nozzle and guiding illumination light. The unit can be manufactured by a simple operation only by attaching the unit to a nozzle formed as a through hole in the bottom wall of the tub container. In addition, according to the bath made in this way, the physical fatigue recovery effect and the mental relaxation effect are acquired simultaneously, and since hot water shines brightly and beautifully, it shows the practically excellent effect that a luxury sense is obtained.
