DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, reference numeral 7 denotes a bath heat source unit. The bath heat source unit 7 and the bubble diameter variable jet ejection device 9 serving as fine bubble generation means provided in the bath 8 are:
A circulation circuit 12 composed of a going pipe 10 and a return pipe 11 is provided. Further, a circulation pump 13 is provided in the return pipe 11. A hot water supply pipe 16 is connected to the discharge side of the circulation pump 13 from the outlet side of the hot water supply heat source device 14 through an electromagnetic valve 15.
Is plumbed. Next, the configuration of the variable bubble diameter jet jetting device 9 provided in the bath 8 will be described. An ejection nozzle 17 is provided downstream of the going pipe 10.
An air pipe 18 is provided downstream of the air conditioner. This air pipe 18 is connected to air control valves 19 and 20.
A flow area switching valve 21 is provided downstream of the air pipe 18.
Is provided. The flow path area switching valve 21 is provided with a through flow path 22 and a reduced flow path 24 to which a pore body 23 such as a wire mesh is attached, and is configured to be switched by a motor 25. 26 is a mixing nozzle and 27
Is a suction port from the bath 8. Reference numeral 28 denotes an operation panel for setting hot water temperature and hot water amount. Reference numeral 29 denotes a controller, which is a solenoid valve 15, a circulation pump 13, and an air control valve 1.
9, 20, the motor 25 and the like are controlled. Reference numeral 30 denotes a hot water supply curan, reference numeral 31 denotes an arrow indicating a flow, and reference numerals 32 and 33 denote bubbles. Reference numeral 34 denotes an exhaust cover. An intake pipe 36 is provided to the exhaust cover 34 via an electromagnetic valve 35.
The solenoid valve 37 controls suction of outside air. The exhaust cover 34, the electromagnetic valves 35, 37, 19, 20, the intake pipe 36, the air pipe 18, and the ejection nozzle 17 constitute a gas mixing unit 38.

The operation of the above configuration will be described. First, the operation of automatically filling the bath 8 with the hot water will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The hot water that has flowed out of the hot water supply heat source unit 14 flows through the circulation circuit 12 and is supplied to the bath 8 from the variable bubble diameter jet jetting device 9. When the supply amount reaches the set value on the operation panel 28, the solenoid valve 15 is closed and the automatic filling is finished.

Next, the operation of generating fine bubbles of several tens of microns to dissolve CO2 in the bath will be described with reference to FIG. At this time, when a bubble switch (not shown) on the operation panel 28 is turned on, the motor 25 operates and the flow area switching valve 2
The one microporous body 23 moves so as to face the ejection nozzle 17. The air control valve 19 and the solenoid valve 37 are closed, and the air control valve 20 and the solenoid valve 35 are opened. A flow path restricting section is provided on the air control valve 20 side. In this state, when the circulation pump 13 is operated and a jet is jetted from the jet nozzle 17, the heat source device 7 for bathing is operated. At this time, the exhaust gas sucked from the air pipe 18 is sheared by the jet, so that the exhaust gas is jetted as bubbles of about 0.5 mm. The ejected bubbles further collide with the pore body 23. As a result, 0.5
Bubbles of about mm are miniaturized into fine bubbles of several tens of microns by the pores 23. These fine bubbles are ejected from the mixing nozzle 26 to make the hot water inside the bath 8 cloudy.

Next, the operation when a bubble of 3 to 5 mm is generated will be described with reference to FIG. At this time, the operation panel 28
When the bubble switch (not shown) is turned on, the circulation pump 13 is operated, and the hot water discharged from the circulation pump 13 is jetted from the jet nozzle 17. The ejected jet shears the air that has flowed into the air pipe 18 via the air control valve 19 and the electromagnetic valve 37, and jets the air into the bath 8 as bubbles of 3 to 5 mm. At this time, the passage area switching valve 21 is
On the two sides, bubbles are blown out into the bath 8 without resistance.

In this embodiment, in addition to the fine bubbles, the bubble has a normal bubble jet function having a bubble diameter of 3 to 5 mm, and its practical effect is large.

As described above, the present invention provides a bath, a heat source device for heating water in the bath, a circulation circuit for communicating the bath with the heat source device, and a circulation pump disposed in the circulation circuit.
If, setting the gas mixing means for mixing the exhaust gases of the heat source machines in the interior of the circulation circuit, and a fine bubble generating means for ejecting a bath contamination exhaust gas by the gas mixing means as fine bubbles
As a result, the exhaust gas is ejected into the bath as fine bubbles. Therefore, CO2 in the exhaust gas becomes free carbonic acid and easily dissolves between the water molecules, so that the solubility of CO2 can be increased. As a result, if a person takes a bath in which CO2 is dissolved, which has a heat retaining effect, a fatigue recovery effect, a blood pressure stabilizing effect, a wound healing effect, etc., the person becomes healthier. In addition, it is necessary to provide a heat source for generating carbon dioxide gas.
It is unnecessary and the cost is low. And the temperature of the bath dropped
At the time of lifting, carbon dioxide gas may be dissolved.
The exhaust gas from the bath heat source unit can be used effectively
You.
