Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to an apparatus for generating a large number of fine bubbles in a bathtub.

[Conventional technology]

It has been known for a long time that hot springs have many effects on recovering from illness or maintaining health, and even today, many hot springs that are famous for their medical treatment still attract many visitors.

However, many of these hot springs are located in remote areas, and the types and concentrations of radiation and various components melted in the hot springs vary from place to place, limiting the number of hot springs suitable for the content of treatment, which can be costly. It takes time and is not easy to use.

The present inventor has completed the present invention by paying attention to the fact that the effect of generating bubbles can be enhanced by circulating hot water in a bathtub and spraying it onto the water surface.

[Purpose of the invention]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a device that generates a large amount of fine air bubbles in a bathtub in order to easily and effectively maintain health and treat illness in a private bath.

[Features of the invention]

The present invention includes a water pump having a water pumping port disposed inside the bathtub, and a pump that sucks hot water in the bathtub and increases the pressure through the pumping pipe. A jet injection nozzle is provided near the water surface in the bathtub and ejects into the bathtub almost perpendicularly to the water surface so as to entrain gas on the water surface in the bathtub and generate a large number of bubbles below the water surface. .

In addition to the configuration of the above invention, a second invention of the present invention provides a bubble generating plate disposed at the bottom of the bathtub that generates fine bubbles, and an air compressor that generates compressed air to be sent to the bubble generating plate. It is characterized by having the following.

The jet nozzle may be provided at a position lower than the edge of the bathtub.

[Explanation based on examples]

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

The figure is a configuration diagram of an apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. The device of this embodiment consists of a bubble generating plate 2 placed at the bottom of a bathtub 1 that generates fine bubbles, a capsule 3 made of a special alloy that increases the effectiveness of this health bath, and a gas generated in this capsule 3 that is The air compressor 4 generates compressed air to be sent to the bubble generating plate 2, and is connected to the air compressor 4 by an air pipe 5 that sends compressed air.

This device includes a plurality of jet injection nozzles 6
This jet injection nozzle 6 is provided near the water surface parallel to one side of the bathtub 1 and facing downward, and has a structure in which water is ejected perpendicularly to the water surface so as to entrain gas on the water surface. The jet nozzle 6 can have an outlet lower than the edge of the bathtub. A water pump 7 is used for the jet injection nozzle 6 to circulate and supply hot water in the bathtub 1.
A pumping pipe 8 having a pumping port 8a immersed in hot water in the bathtub is connected to the water suction side of the pumping pump 7.

The operation of the apparatus of this embodiment configured as described above will be explained next.

When the air compressor 4 is operated, compressed air is sent into the capsule 3 through the air pipe 5. This capsule 3 is filled with ore that slowly undergoes nuclear transmutation, generating a trace amount of gas. This trace amount of gas includes heavy inert gases. This gas is sent to the bubble generating plate 2 arranged at the bottom of the bathtub 1 by compressed air sent into the capsule 3.

This bubble generating plate 2 generates a large number of extremely fine bubbles in water.

This device further includes a pumping port 8 using a pumping pump 7.
Hot water in the bathtub 1 is sucked in from a, passes through a pumping pipe 8, and is injected into the bathtub from a jet injection nozzle 6. This allows a large number of fine bubbles to be generated in the hot water. At this time, the gas floating on the surface of the hot water is drawn into the hot water, creating many fine bubbles. The bubbles rise in the water from the bottom of the bathtub 1, touch the skin of the bather, and break. When the bubbles burst, they give a small stimulus to the skin's surface, but since there are so many bubbles, the effect is similar to that of applying ultrasonic vibrations to the skin's surface.

If the immersion tile 10 is used in addition to the above-described device, the substance contained in the tile will dissolve in the hot water and the bathing effect can be further enhanced.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, a large number of fine bubbles can be generated in bath water with a simple structure. When a bubble generating plate is used in combination, even more bubbles can be generated in the bath water.

(a) When these microscopic bubbles come into contact with the skin, the temperature of the flesh and bones becomes higher than that of hot water.The thermal effect stimulates cells and capillaries, activating metabolism; (c) When many air bubbles come into contact with the skin and break, they produce an effect similar to ultrasonic vibrations. It acts as a massage to massage the whole body, and has excellent effects for treating illnesses such as , and promoting health.
