良い浴槽水浄化装置を提供することができる。According to the first aspect of the present invention, when the strong purification setting means sets the strong purification, the circulation flow rate changing means maximizes the circulation flow rate of the circulation means. Since the amount of water per unit time that the bath water passes through the purifying means increases, the bath water can be rapidly purified. While the strong purification is not set, the circulation flow rate changing means reduces the circulation flow rate, so that the energy consumed by the circulation means and the noise generated from the circulation means can be reduced. Further, the average circulation flow rate of the circulation means can be reduced as compared with the case of continuously operating for 24 hours, so that the life of the parts constituting the circulation means can be extended.
According to the second configuration, the operation start time setting means causes the cleaning operation only during the bathing period. Since the operation time of the device is shortened, the running cost of the device and the noise at night can be further reduced. Even if the operating time per day becomes shorter, the circulating flow rate changing means increases the circulating flow rate to the maximum from a predetermined time before the operation start time to improve the purification capacity, so that the bath water can be sufficiently purified at the operation start time. it can. With the above-described third configuration, the circulation flow rate changing means maximizes the circulation flow rate for a certain period of time every time the timekeeping means measures a predetermined period of time to improve the purification capacity. Even if the bath water is abruptly contaminated by bathing during operation, the cleaning capacity is automatically increased after a lapse of a predetermined time, so that the period in which the bath water is contaminated after bathing can be shortened. With the above-described fourth configuration, the turbidity detection means constantly monitors the dirt in the bath water. When it is detected that the bath water is rapidly contaminated by bathing, the circulation flow rate changing means maximizes the circulation flow rate until the turbidity becomes equal to or less than a predetermined value, increases the purification capacity, and quickly performs purification. As described above, it is possible to provide a bathtub water purifying apparatus which is low in running cost and noise, has a long equipment life, high purifying ability, and is easy to use.

作するもので操作部に設けられている。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A bathtub water purifying apparatus as a first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 1 is a purifying means for filtering and sterilizing passing bath water. Purification means 1
Is composed of a filtration section and a sterilization section. The filtering section is composed of a filter, a ceramic ball, a porous stone, or the like, and filters the bathtub water by a filtering action of these. In addition, the sterilization unit includes one that utilizes the decomposition of bacteria by benign bacteria that propagates on the porous stone of the filtration unit, and one that utilizes the sterilization effect of an ultraviolet lamp or an ozone generator. 2 is a circulation means for taking out the bath water from the bath, passing it through the purifying means 1, and then returning it to the bath. The circulation means 2 is constituted by an AC or DC pump. The circulation flow rate changing means 3 adjusts the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2.

効果を発揮することができる。When the strong purification setting means 4 has not set the strong purification, the circulation flow rate changing means 3 sets the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 to a low flow rate. Since the circulation flow rate is low, the purification capacity is low and it takes time to perform sufficient purification.
It is possible to reduce the energy and noise consumed by. At this time, when a person takes a bath, the bath water is rapidly soiled, whereas the purification capacity is low, and the bath water remains dirty for a while. Therefore, when the strong purification setting means 4 is operated to set the strong purification, the circulation flow rate changing means 3 becomes the circulation means 2.
Change the circulating flow rate of to the maximum for a certain period of time. When the circulation flow rate is maximized, the purification capacity is maximized, so that the bath water is rapidly purified. Therefore, the bath water can be sufficiently purified before the next bather takes a bath, and the next bather does not feel uncomfortable. Since the bathing period is very short in one day, the operation time for strong purification is also short, and most of the operation is at a low flow rate. Therefore, it is possible to exert a great effect in reducing the running cost and noise of the device without lowering the purification performance.

However, a method for maximizing the circulation flow rate and increasing the number of sterilization lamps constituting the purification means 1 to increase the purification capacity is also available. It is valid.

Reference numeral 1 is a purifying means for filtering and sterilizing passing bath water. 2 is a circulation means for taking out the bath water from the bath, passing it through the purifying means 1, and then returning it to the bath. The circulation flow rate changing means 3 adjusts the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2. Reference numeral 5 is a time measuring means for measuring the present time.

とができる。Since the period of bathing in a day is very short, the operation start time setting means 4a sets the operation start time according to the time of day when the user wants to bathe, and the operation is carried out for the required time. The circulation flow rate changing means 3 constantly compares the current time measured by the time measuring means 5 with the operation start time set by the operation start time setting means 4a. While the current time does not reach a predetermined time before the operation start time, the circulation flow rate changing means 3 sets the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 to 0 and stops the purification operation. Therefore, the energy consumption and noise of the circulation means 2 can be reduced to 0 while the bath is not used. When the cleaning operation is stopped for a long time, bacteria grow in the bathtub and the bath water is dirty. Therefore, if the current time passes a predetermined time before the operation start time, the circulation flow rate changing means 4
a maximizes the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 and rapidly purifies the bath water with the maximum purification capacity. The circulation flow rate changing means 3 reduces the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 from the maximum to a low flow rate after a certain period of time, and thereafter performs the purification operation at a low flow rate. This allows
Since the bath water is sufficiently purified at the set operation start time, it is possible to take a bath immediately after the operation start time. Also,
After the purification operation at the maximum flow rate, it will be operated at a low flow rate, so
The energy and noise consumed by the circulation means 2 can be reduced.

The circulation flow rate changing means 3 adjusts the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2. Reference numeral 4b is a time measuring means for repeatedly measuring a predetermined time.

浴槽水に保つことができる。The circulation flow rate changing means 3 sets the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 to a low flow rate while the timing means 4b is measuring a predetermined time. Since the circulation flow rate is low, the purification capacity is low and it takes time to perform sufficient purification, but the energy and noise consumed by the circulation means 2 can be reduced. At this time, when people take a bath, the water in the bathtub becomes dirty rapidly.
Since the purification capacity is low, it takes time to thoroughly purify the bath water, and the dirt in the bath water accumulates every time you take a bath. Therefore, when the time counting means 4b completes the time counting for a predetermined time, the circulation flow rate changing means 3 maximizes the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 and rapidly purifies the bath water with the maximum purification capacity. Therefore, the bath water can be sufficiently purified automatically before the bath water becomes too dirty. The circulation flow rate changing means 3 reduces the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 from the maximum to a low flow rate after a certain period of time. After that, the same operation is performed each time the timekeeping means 4 completes the timekeeping of the predetermined time. As a result, it is possible to always keep clean bath water regardless of the number of bathers.

The circulation flow rate changing means 3 adjusts the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2. 4c is a turbidity detection means and a purification means 1
The turbidity of bath water before passing through is detected. The turbidity detecting means 4c is composed of a light emitting element and a light receiving element. The light output from the light emitting element is passed through the bath water and then received by the light receiving element, and the turbidity is determined from the light receiving level.

い。FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the turbidity detected by the turbidity detection means 4c and the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2. Turbidity is first in Figure 5
While it does not exceed the comparison value of, the circulating water flow rate changing means 3 sets the circulating flow rate of the circulating means 2 to a low flow rate. Since the circulation flow rate is low, the purification capacity is low and it takes time to perform sufficient purification, but the energy and noise consumed by the circulation means 2 can be reduced. At this time, when a person takes a bath, the bath water abruptly becomes dirty, and the turbidity exceeds the first comparison value in FIG. 5, for example, turbidity 2. Therefore, the circulation flow rate changing means 3 maximizes the circulation flow rate of the circulation means 2 and rapidly purifies the bath water with the maximum purification capacity. When the turbidity is sufficiently purified by the operation with the maximum purification capacity and the turbidity becomes equal to or less than the second comparison value in FIG. 5, for example, the turbidity is 0.5 or less, the circulation flow rate changing unit 3 changes the circulation flow rate of the circulation unit 2 from the maximum to a low flow rate. Lower. Therefore, as soon as the bath water becomes dirty, the bath water is automatically purified, so that the person who takes the next bath does not feel uncomfortable.

Even if a person who takes a bath stains the water in the bathtub, the bathwater can be rapidly purified and the bath can be comfortably taken. Since the circulation flow rate is set to a low flow rate when the strong purification setting is not set, the energy consumed by the circulation means is small and it is economical. Further, since the noise generated from the circulation means is reduced by making the circulation flow rate low, the noise is not annoying at midnight, and it is not necessary to select the installation location of the device. Since the operation in the strong purification setting is a short period of the day, the average circulation flow rate of the circulation means per day is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to extend the life of the pump that constitutes the circulation means.

することができる。According to the bathtub water purifying apparatus of the second structure, since the operation of the equipment is started by the operation start time setting means at the time of bathing, the equipment is stopped when it is not bathed, and the equipment is consumed. Energy and noise can be reduced to zero, which is very economical. Even if the equipment is stopped for a long time before the operation is started, the cleaning capacity is maximized before the operation start time, so the bath water is sufficiently cleaned at the operation start time reserved by the user. You can bathe comfortably.

ことがなく、常にきれいな浴槽水を保つことができる。According to the bath water purifying apparatus of the third structure, the purifying capacity is automatically maximized for a certain period of time every time the timing means measures a predetermined period of time. As it is purified with maximum capacity on a regular basis, even if many people take a bath, stains in the bath water will not accumulate and it will be possible to keep clean bath water at all times.

とができる。According to the bath water purifying apparatus of the fourth structure, as soon as the turbidity detecting means detects dirt in the bath water, it automatically purifies the bath water with the maximum capacity. Therefore, since the dirt in the bathtub water is always maintained at a certain value or less, it is possible to comfortably take a bath without feeling any discomfort even if the bather who has entered the bathtub continues to take a bath.
