Abstract

PURPOSE:To sharply improve a massaging effect in a bath tub by a method wherein in addition to an injection mechanism for air bubble water, a mechanical massaging mechanism is combined. CONSTITUTION:By running a motor M through turning ON of a switch S, rotation is transmitted to a motor shaft 5, and a vane 6 is rotated in a pump chamber 4. Through rotation of a vane 6, bath hot water stored in a bath tub 17 is fed in a pump chamber 4 through a filter 8 after passage of it through an inlet port 7, and is fed with a pressure to the interior of a delivery pipe 9. Forcibly fed bath hot water is injected through a nozzle part 9a to an injection chamber 10. Meanwhile, air is fed through an air intake port 11, opened to a horizontal part 1A, by means of a delivery pipe 12, and is mixed in an air bubble state in bath hot water injected through the nozzle part 9a toward the injection chamber 10. Rotation of a motor shaft 5 is transmitted through a crank disc 16 and a crank pin 15 to a vibrating plate 14, and produces operation to continuously repeat vibration as a resilient stay 13 is forcibly bent and deformed by the vibration plate 14.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a pine surge machine for bathing, and more specifically to an improvement of a pine surge machine that is installed in a bathtub so as to jet the bath water in the form of bubbles. .

[Conventional technology]

In general, bathing has the effect of promoting blood circulation and increasing metabolism, but conventionally, in addition to the blood circulation promoting effect of bathing, a jet of bubble water is jetted in the bathtub and the jet is applied to any part of the human body. A method of obtaining a pine surge effect, that is, a method of stimulating the human body by the shock effect of bubble water to increase metabolism in the same region, has previously been proposed.

However, the actual situation is that the above method does not necessarily provide a sufficient pine surge effect.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The present invention is an attempt to improve the above-mentioned problems, and one object of the present invention is to make it possible to obtain a sufficient pine surge effect in a bathtub. That is, the present invention is characterized in that it is possible to obtain a pine surge effect by a combination of a bubble water jetting action and a mechanical kneading action, and the specific means and action thereof are as follows. It is as follows.

(Means for solving the problem) ■ A housing is provided in the bathtub so that it can be detachably fixed.

■ Inside the housing, there is an injection chamber that opens into the bathtub, and a water flow pipe is extended from the pump chamber built into the housing into the injection chamber, with a nozzle formed at its tip facing out. An air intake pipe is extended with one end facing the atmosphere, and a nozzle portion formed at the tip thereof faces the nozzle portion.

■ Install a mechanical kneading mechanism on the surface of the housing.

The kneading mechanism is provided so as to be able to roll, vibrate, swing, or move in and out, for example.

[For production]

■ In the injection chamber, the water flow sent from the pump chamber through the water flow pipe is mixed with the air flowing in through the air intake pipe to form bubbly water, and the same bubbly water is sent from the injection chamber to the bathtub. This produces the effect of ejecting water inward as a jet stream. By causing this jet water flow to hit a suitable part of the human body, an effect of promoting blood circulation in the same part, that is, a pine surge effect can be obtained.

■ By bringing an appropriate part of the human body into contact with the kneading mechanism attached to the surface of the housing, the above-mentioned effects can be achieved by, for example, rolling, vibration, or rocking motions obtained with the kneading mechanism. An effect of promoting blood circulation at the contact area, that is, a pine surge effect can be obtained.

〔Example〕

Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to illustrative drawings.

FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are drawings showing the first embodiment.
In both figures, 1 indicates the housing.

The housing 1 has a horizontal portion IA and a vertical portion IB extending downward from the tip of the horizontal portion IA, and is formed into a substantially inverted letter shape. More specifically, the horizontal part IA and the vertical part IB are formed as flat and thin as possible with appropriate width dimensions, and the back surfaces of the horizontal part IA and the vertical part IB are each provided with an appropriate number of pieces. The suction cups 2, 2 are fixed. In the vertical portion IB, a motor chamber 3 is formed near the surface of the housing 1 at approximately the center thereof, and a motor chamber 3 is formed adjacent to the motor chamber 3 (
A pump chamber 4 is formed near the back surface of the housing 1. A motor M is built in the motor chamber 3, and a motor shaft 5 is horizontally mounted on the motor M so as to extend in the direction of both the front and back surfaces of the housing 1. One end of the motor shaft 5 on the back side is provided so as to face the inside of the pump chamber 4, and a vane 6 is built into the pump chamber 4 and rotatably supported at one end of the motor shaft 5. Also, housing 1
An intake lower for the bath is opened on the back side of the pump chamber 4 in communication with the pump chamber 4, and a filter 8 is fitted into the opening of the intake lower, while a feed pipe 9 for the bath is extended from the pump chamber 4. A nozzle portion 9a formed at the tip thereof is provided so as to face the injection chamber 10. The injection chamber 10 is provided so as to open toward the surface of the housing 1. On the other hand, an air intake port 11 is opened on the surface (top surface) of the horizontal portion IB to communicate with the atmosphere.
1, an air feed pipe 12 extends downward inside the housing 1, and a nozzle portion 12a formed at the tip thereof is provided so as to face the nozzle portion 9a and face into the injection chamber 10. More specifically, of the two nozzle parts 9a and 12a, the nozzle part 9a is provided facing the opening of the injection chamber 10, and the nozzle part 12a is located approximately 9 degrees from the nozzle part 9a.
They are disposed so as to face each other with a deviation angle of 0''.

On the other hand, on the surface of the vertical part B, a plurality of elastic struts 13 made of rubber and formed to be flexible, expandable and deformable are protruded at regular intervals, and the tips of the elastic struts 13 are A diaphragm 14 formed into a flat plate shape is fixed. A crank disk 16 is fixed to the other end of the motor shaft 5 (on the surface side of the housing 1), and a crank pin 15 is provided protruding from an eccentric position of the crank disk 16, and its tip end is attached to the same diaphragm plate. It is rotatably supported on the back surface of 14.

Others S represents a switch for motor M.

Next, its effect will be explained.

Both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are drawings showing the bath massage machine according to the present invention attached to a bathtub 17,
This can be obtained by adsorbing the suction cup 2 fixed to the horizontal part IA of the housing 1 to the upper end surface of the bathtub 17, and the suction cup 2 fixed to the vertical part IB of the housing 1 to the inner wall surface of the bathtub 17, respectively. . With the bathtub pine surger installed in the bathtub 17 in this way, by turning on the switch S and driving the motor M, the rotation is transmitted to the motor shaft 5, and the vane 6 is rotated in the pump chamber 4. The state can be changed. By rotating the vane 6 in this manner, the bath water stored in the bathtub 17 is fed into the pump chamber 4 through the intake lower and the refilter 8, and is also fed into the pump chamber 4 in this manner. The bath is then pumped from the pump chamber 4 through the feed pipe 9 toward the tip. The bath water that has been pressure-fed to the tip within the feed pipe 9 is injected from the nozzle portion 9a toward the injection chamber 10, while air is passed through the feed pipe 12 from the air intake port 11 that opens in the horizontal portion IA. The air sent into the injection chamber 10 in this way is caused by the fact that the air is injected from the nozzle part 9a toward the injection chamber 10 as described above. Due to the negative pressure generated in the injection chamber 10, air is mixed in the bath water in the form of bubbles. In other words, an effect is obtained in which the bubbles are ejected into the bathtub 17 again.

On the other hand, the rotation of the motor shaft 5 is transmitted to the diaphragm 14 via a crank disk 16° and a crank pin 15.

The diaphragm 14 forcibly bends and deforms the elastic support 13 while continuously repeating vibration.

FIG. 3 is a drawing showing the second embodiment, in which a pump PM is built in addition to the drive motor M of the diaphragm 14 in the vertical part IA of the housing l, and the pump PM is connected to a feed pipe for the bath. 9 will be extended. That is, in the first embodiment, a single motor M is used to vibrate the diaphragm 14 and spray bubble water, whereas in this embodiment, the vibration of the diaphragm 14 is caused by the motor. The injection of bubble water is carried out by a pump PM.

Incidentally, in both of the above embodiments, the diaphragm 14 is attached to the surface side of the vertical portion IB as a mechanical kneading mechanism, but instead of this, it is possible to attach a rolling roller, a kneading ball, etc. as appropriate. . Furthermore, in both of the above embodiments, the housing 1 is formed in an inverted shape, and the horizontal portion IA is provided to be locked to the upper end surface of the bathtub, but the shape of the housing is limited to this. It is possible to select any shape. For example, as a third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the housing 1 may be formed into a rectangular shape, and the air intake pipe 18 may be built into the housing 1 so as to be expandable and retractable.

The bath pine surge machine formed in this manner is constructed by pulling out the air intake pipe 18 from the housing 1, and attaching the intake port 18a opening at the tip of the pipe to the upper end surface of the bathtub, for example, using a suction cup or the like. (
The body part) can be attached to any desired position, such as the bottom of a bathtub.

〔Effect of the invention〕

The present invention is constructed as described above, and by combining a mechanical kneading mechanism in addition to the bubble water jet injection mechanism in the bath pine surge machine as described above, the pine surge effect in the bathtub is improved. It has now become possible to significantly increase the

As shown in both the first and second embodiments, by forming the housing into a substantially inverted shape with a horizontal portion and a vertical portion, a thin and compact bath pine serge machine can be obtained. As shown in the third embodiment, the air intake pipe is accommodated in the housing so that it can be bent and deformed, and it can be freely pulled out, so that the bath pine surge machine can be installed at any position in the bathtub. It became possible.
