【考案の詳細な説明】 本考案は太陽熱温水器から浴槽に給湯する風呂給湯装置
に関するもので、太陽熱利用による省エネルギー効果を
最大限発揮できるようにしたものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a bath water supply device that supplies hot water from a solar water heater to a bathtub, and is designed to maximize the energy saving effect of utilizing solar heat.

これを図示の実施例に基づいて具体的に説明すると、１
は浴槽、２は熱交換器３とこれを加熱するバーナ４等を
内蔵せる風呂釜、５は浴槽１と熱交換器３とを連結する
上部循環パイプ、６は同じく下部循環パイプである。To explain this specifically based on the illustrated embodiment, 1
2 is a bathtub, 2 is a bathtub containing a heat exchanger 3 and a burner 4 for heating it, 5 is an upper circulation pipe connecting the bathtub 1 and the heat exchanger 3, and 6 is a lower circulation pipe.

７は太陽熱温水器８からの温水を浴槽１に導く為の給湯
管、９は上部循環パイプ５中に設けて風呂釜２と浴槽１
との循環路を開閉するダンパ、１０は下端を上部循環パ
イ゛プ５の前記ダンパ９よりも浴槽１寄りに連通接続し
た給湯タンクであり、給湯管７の下端を該タンク１０内
に臨ませると共に、浴槽１の水位に応じて開閉するボー
ルタップ式の自動止水弁１１を設けである。7 is a hot water pipe for guiding hot water from the solar water heater 8 to the bathtub 1, and 9 is installed in the upper circulation pipe 5 to connect the bathtub 2 and the bathtub 1.
10 is a hot water tank whose lower end is connected closer to the bathtub 1 than the damper 9 of the upper circulation pipe 5, and the lower end of the hot water pipe 7 faces into the tank 10. In addition, a ball tap type automatic water stop valve 11 is provided which opens and closes depending on the water level of the bathtub 1.

１２は自動止水弁１１よりも上流側給湯管７中に設けた
給湯栓である。Reference numeral 12 denotes a hot water tap provided in the hot water supply pipe 7 upstream of the automatic water stop valve 11.

１３は浴室壁等に設けた遠隔操作装置であり、バーナ４
の燃焼を制御する主ハンドル１４と、給湯栓１２及びダ
ンパ９を開閉制御する副ハンドル１５とを有し、副ハン
ドル１５の操作によりダンパ９が閉じたのち給湯栓１２
が開くようにしである。13 is a remote control device installed on the bathroom wall, etc., and burner 4
It has a main handle 14 that controls combustion of the hot water tap 12 and a sub handle 15 that controls opening and closing of the hot water tap 12 and damper 9. After the damper 9 is closed by operating the secondary handle 15, the hot water tap 12 is closed.
It is so that it opens.

本考案はこのような構成からなり、太陽熱温水器８から
採湯するには遠隔操作装置１３の副ハンドル１５を操作
して、ダンパ９を閉じたのち給湯栓１２を開けばよく、
温水器８にて昇温した湯が給湯管７、タンク１０、上部
循環パイプ５を経て浴槽１に給湯される。The present invention has such a configuration, and in order to draw hot water from the solar water heater 8, it is only necessary to operate the auxiliary handle 15 of the remote control device 13, close the damper 9, and then open the hot water tap 12.
Hot water heated by a water heater 8 is supplied to the bathtub 1 via a hot water supply pipe 7, a tank 10, and an upper circulation pipe 5.

そして浴槽水位が一定になると自動止水弁１１が閉じて
給湯が停止される。When the water level in the bathtub becomes constant, the automatic water stop valve 11 closes and hot water supply is stopped.

この採湯後、冬季等追い焚きを必要とするのであれば、
副ハンドル１５を元位置に戻してダンパ９を開いたのち
主ハンドル１４を操作してバーナ４を点火すればよい。After this hot water sampling, if reheating is required such as in winter,
After returning the auxiliary handle 15 to its original position and opening the damper 9, the burner 4 may be ignited by operating the main handle 14.

追い焚き後は副ハンドル１５を半分だけ操作してダンパ
９を閉じておけば、熱交換器３からの浴槽水の放熱冷却
が防止できる。After reheating, by operating the auxiliary handle 15 only half way to close the damper 9, cooling of the bathtub water by heat radiation from the heat exchanger 3 can be prevented.

なお上記のように給湯中もダンパ９は閉じているから、
給湯中の放熱をも防止し得るものである。Furthermore, as mentioned above, the damper 9 is closed even during hot water supply, so
It can also prevent heat radiation during hot water supply.

ところで太陽熱温水器のうちいわゆる自然循環式のもの
は、浴槽に湯を張るのに充分な貯湯量を有するので、本
考案のような浴槽への落とし込みには最適であるが、本
考案は更に自動止水機構を有しているので、給湯を止め
忘れて続いて出てくる冷水で浴槽内湯温が下がったり、
浴槽からあふれさせたりする心配がない。By the way, so-called natural circulation type solar water heaters have a sufficient amount of hot water to fill a bathtub, so they are ideal for placing them in a bathtub like the one proposed in this invention. It has a water stop mechanism, so if you forget to turn off the hot water supply, the water temperature in the bathtub will drop due to the cold water that comes out.
There is no need to worry about the bathtub overflowing.

また風呂釜２を屋外設置型とすれば、給湯管７は屋内に
引いてくる必要がないので短かいものを使用することが
できるが、この場合の給湯栓の操作も含めてすべての操
作を屋内から行なうことができるので、給湯を途中で停
止する場合、あるいは特に放熱ロスが大きくなる冬場に
おいてダンパ９を閉じようとする場合も極めて使用勝手
が良い。Furthermore, if the bathtub 2 is installed outdoors, the hot water supply pipe 7 does not need to be brought indoors, so a short one can be used; however, in this case, all operations, including the operation of the hot water faucet, Since this can be done from indoors, it is very convenient to use when stopping hot water supply midway through, or when trying to close the damper 9 especially in winter when heat radiation loss is large.

このように本考案は遠隔操作式の給湯栓とダンパとが相
俟って太陽熱温水器で得られた湯を放熱なく最も有効に
利用できるものであり、省エネルギー効果極めて大なる
ものである。As described above, the present invention combines a remote-controlled hot water tap and a damper to make the most effective use of hot water obtained from a solar water heater without radiating heat, resulting in extremely large energy-saving effects.

なお、ダンパ、給湯タンク、自動止水弁及び給湯栓等を
セットしておけば、既存の風呂釜に取り付けることも可
能であり、構成が簡単であるから安価に得られる利点も
ある。In addition, if a damper, a hot water tank, an automatic water shutoff valve, a hot water tap, etc. are set, it can be attached to an existing bathtub, and the simple structure has the advantage of being inexpensive.
