Hereinafter, an example of the drainage method according to the present invention will be described based on the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 during the operation of the bath cleaning operation. First, when the washing button of the remote controller is turned on, this ON signal is applied to the command / control unit 56 via the signal input unit 55 of the control unit 54. The command / control unit 56 receives the command for the cleaning operation mode, and first, at step 101, detects whether or not the bathtub 1 is empty by a signal from the pressure sensor 29. When the pressure at the water level is not detected, it is determined that the bath 1 is empty, and in step 102 the drain valve 12 is opened to prepare for washing the inner wall surface of the bath. If the bathtub 1 is not empty, it is determined in step 103 whether or not the water level in the bathtub exceeds the preset height of X above the return port 6 of the return branch pipe 31, and the water level exceeds X. At step 104, sometimes the drain valve 12 and the forced drain pipe opening / closing valve 14 are opened, the circulation pump 35 is started, and natural drainage from the drain valve 12 is performed, and the bath water is sucked from the return branch pipe 31 by the circulation pump 35. , Guided to the bathtub drain pipe 4 through the forced drain pipe 13, natural drainage from the drain valve 12 and circulation pump
Forced drainage by 35 is done at the same time. Then, when the water level of the bathtub drops to the water level above the return port of the return branch pipe 31, the circulation pump 35 is stopped, the forced drain pipe modification valve 14 is closed, and only the drainage valve 12 drains water. Then, the operation goes to step 108. Further, when the water level of the bathtub is lower than the height X of the return branch pipe 31 from the return port in step 103, the operation proceeds to step 108.

The water level inside the water gradually drops. The water level in the bathtub 1 is detected by the pressure sensor 29. In step 126, it is determined whether or not the water level in the bathtub 1 has reached the level H 2 on the bottom surface of the bathtub 1, and the water level is set to H 2 . When the bottom of the bathtub 1 is completely exposed, it is determined that the optimum amount of water for cleaning the bathtub has been stored in the tank 5, and the drain valve 12 is closed in step 127.

Then, the cleaning liquid controlled to have a constant temperature is circulated and sprayed from the cleaning nozzle 48, so that the dirt on the inner wall surface of the bathtub is cleanly removed by the spray collision force of the cleaning liquid and the chemical cleaning power of the detergent. When the jet from the washing nozzle 48 has elapsed T 3 time, the nozzle opening / closing valve 45 is opened and 44 is closed, and the washing liquid 49 is circulated and jetted similarly from the washing nozzle 49 on the opposite side. When the circulating injection of the cleaning liquid from the cleaning nozzle 49 elapses T 4 hours, the burner combustion of the heater 28 is stopped and the circulation pump 35 is stopped. Next, the drain valve 12 is opened, and the dirty cleaning liquid accumulated in the tank 5 is discharged.

It flows from the pipe 34 to the inside of the tank 5 through the return branch pipe 30, and the pipe line is washed by passing water. In step 138, the water flow rate is calculated and the return pipe on-off valve 32 is closed when the water flow rate becomes Q 2 .

The cleaning liquid adhering to the wall surface and the water conduit and the dirt component dropped by the cleaning liquid are washed out and discharged from the drain valve 12. When the amount of water jetted from the washing nozzle 49 reaches Q 3 , the nozzle opening / closing valve 44 is opened and 45 is closed this time, and clean water supplied from the water supply pipe 40 is jetted from the washing nozzle 48.
Similarly, the cleaning liquid adhering to the inner wall surface of the bath and the dirt component removed by the cleaning liquid are washed out and discharged from the drain valve 12 to the outside. The amount of water jetted from this washing nozzle 48 is Q
When it reaches 4 , the hot water supply valve 41 and the nozzle opening / closing valve 44 are closed. Then, when the time T 5 required for the water in the tank 5 to be completely discharged from the drain valve 12 has elapsed, step 14
At 6, the drain valve 12 is closed and the bath washing operation ends.

の無駄を省くことができる。According to the present embodiment, when draining hot water from the bathtub, when the bath water level is above the upper X of the return port 6 of the reheating circuit, the natural drainage by the drain valve 12 and the circulation pump are performed.
Since the bath water level sucked by 35 is simultaneously drained through the forced drain pipe 13 for forced drainage, the amount of drained water per unit time increases dramatically. For example, in the case of a 200 liter bathtub, when comparing the drainage time when the bathwater is drained only with natural drainage and the case of this embodiment, it takes 4 to 5 minutes for the natural drainage. However, in the case of this example, drainage was possible in about 2 minutes, and the drainage time could be shortened significantly. By shortening the drainage time in this way, when starting bathtub cleaning after draining the bathtub water, there is no need to wait a long time until the bathtub water drains. It is possible to shift to, and waste of time can be saved.

To be For example, as shown in FIG. 5, when the apparatus 15 for a bathtub with a cleaning function is installed outside the bathroom 16 (outdoor), when the water forcibly drained by the circulation pump 35 is guided to the drainage box 19, Dig up the ground on the equipment 15 side
A large-scale construction is required to lay the forced drainage pipe 13 from 15 to the drainage box 19, but if the outlet side of the forced drainage pipe 13 is connected to the bathtub drainage pipe 4 as shown in FIG. Is unnecessary, and by simply connecting the forced drainage pipe 13 from the device 15 side to the bathtub drainage pipe 4, a drainage route for forcedly draining water is secured, and drainage construction work can be made extremely easy. It will be possible.

In addition, since the exclusive drainage pump is not installed in the bathroom, the use space of the bathroom is not narrowed. Furthermore, when forcedly draining water with the circulation pump 35, the bath water is sucked only from the return port 6 of the circulation circuit to which the filter is attached, so dust such as hair enters the circulation pump 35 and the pump 35 fails. There is no problem of doing.

For example, although the outlet side of the forced drain pipe 13 is connected to the bathtub drain pipe 4 in the above embodiment, the outlet side of the forced drain pipe 13 is a bathroom as shown in FIG.
It may be installed within 16. Generally, in a unit bath, the inside of the bathroom is covered with a waterproof pan, so it is safe to drop water that is forcibly drained into this bathroom, and the dropped water passes through the drain port 20 of the bathroom. Since the water is drained to the drainage box, the drainage construction work can be made easier than in the case of the present embodiment in which the outlet side of the forced drainage pipe 13 is connected to the bathtub drainage pipe 4.

However, the bathtub device of the present invention is a reheating type bathtub or a reheating and filling device as shown in FIG. It is also possible to use a bath system that is connected to an automatic bath kettle capable of controlling the water level, and in this case also, when draining the bath water, the water level exceeding a predetermined height X from the return port 6 of the reheating circulation circuit. By performing natural drainage by the drainage valve 12 and forced drainage by the circulation pump 35 at the same time,
The bath water can be quickly drained.

Since it is configured so that it is drained, the drainage time of bath water can be significantly shortened.

いうこともない。Since the pump for forced drainage uses the circulation pump of the bathtub circulation circuit, it is not necessary to separately provide a pump dedicated to drainage, and it is possible to avoid complication of the apparatus configuration and to use the dedicated pump. Since the pump is not installed in the bathroom, the effective use space of the bathroom is not narrowed.
