た。<Prior Art and Its Problems> FIG. 2 shows a schematic view of a conventional bubble bath device. The bath water from the bath 1 is circulated by the circulation pump P through the circulation path 2 and the air is introduced from the introduction pipe 3 to eject the bubble water into the bath. In addition, part of the water flowing through the circulation path 2 also flows through the filter 4 to remove dust. In particular, when using a bubble bath, dirt and stains fall off the body more often than when it is not used, but since dust such as dirt and dust is light, it floats on the water surface of the bathtub and stains are conspicuous. There was a flaw. In addition, since the suction port 5 of the circulation path 2 is usually considerably lower than the water surface,
It was impossible to filter by sucking dust floating near the water surface. Recently, a device provided with a suction inlet for filtering near the water surface is also provided, but the problem that the suction amount is not stable,
Also, there is a drawback that even if the suction port is clogged with dust, it cannot be understood.

する。On the other hand, in the vicinity of the side wall near the upper water surface of the bathtub 10, the dust suction port 21 is located at a position slightly below the water surface by the float 20. A filter 22 for removing coarse dust such as bristles is connected to a free hose at the dust suction port 21 in order to cope with fluctuations in water level, and then a dust suction passage from the side wall of the bathtub 10 to the outside.
Connected to 24. The dust suction passage 24 is connected to the three-way valve 14
Is connected to the bubble bath circulation circuit 13. Dust suction passage 24
A water quantity sensor 25 and a water quantity controller 26 are provided in the. The water amount adjuster 26 is capable of changing the flow passage opening degree of the dust suction passage 24 by the servo motor 26a.When the flow passage opening degree becomes a certain value or more, a part of the servo motor 26a comes into contact with the limit switch 30. Then, the limit switch 30 is turned on.

化されて浴槽１へ戻る。Now, when performing the bubble bath operation, when the power switch 51 and the bubble bath operation switch 52 of the remote controller 50 are turned on, the three-way valve 14 closes the bubble bath circulation circuit 13 via the control unit 40 and the pump. P is started and bath water is circulated in the circulation circuit 13. At the same time, air is introduced from an air introduction pipe (not shown), and bubble water is ejected from the ejection port 11 into the bathtub 1.
A part of the bath water passing through the circulation circuit 13 is guided to the filter 15 where it is purified and returned to the bath 1.

浄化される。On the other hand, when the dust purification switch 53 is turned on, the control unit 40 controls the three-way valve 13 to pass the dust suction passage over the bubble bath operation switch 52.
Connect to 24. As a result, the water in the bathtub is sucked from the dust suction port 21 in the upper part of the bathtub by driving the pump P, and the dust suction passage
24 through three-way valve 14, pump P through jet 11 and bath 1
Circulate to. During this time, coarse dust floating near the surface of the bathtub 1 is removed by the filter 22, and dust passing through the filter 22 is part of the filter 15 (dust contained in bath water flowing to the filter 15). Are removed. This cleans the bathtub.

くことができる。The flow rate of the bath water flowing through the dust suction passage 24 is controlled to be a predetermined constant flow rate. That is, the water amount sensor 25
The controller 40 compares the flow rate obtained in step 1 with the reference flow rate value, and operates the water flow controller 26 to correct the deviation. Therefore, the amount of water flowing in the dust suction passage 24 is almost constant, and the filter 15
The flow rate into the filter becomes a substantially constant flow rate that is preferable for the filter 15, and the bath water can be effectively filtered. Further, in order to keep the flow rate constant,
If the filter 22 of the dust inlet 21 becomes clogged, the servo motor
Since 26a rotates to increase the flow passage opening degree, the limit switch 30 is turned on by this, and the filter cleaning lamp 54 is turned on via the control unit 40. That is, when the filter 22 is clogged, the filter cleaning lamp 54 is turned on, so that a bather or the like can immediately know that the filter 22 is clogged and the cleaning time or replacement time. Therefore, the filter 22 can always be set in a good state.
