Benefits of technology

[0009]The present invention has been achieved in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and has an object to provide a hot water device for bathtub in which water is not wasted to allow energy saving and at the same time it is possible to save a trouble of adjusting the temperature of water for bathtub supplied to the bathtub to a temperature desired by the user during bathing.

Problems solved by technology

However, in the hot water device for bathtub, while energy saving in storing high-temperature water in the hot water storage tank is considered, no consideration is given to energy saving in using high temperature water stored in the hot water storage tank.
That is, in the hot water device for bathtub, it takes labor to adjust the temperature of water for bathtub supplied to the bathtub to a temperature desired by the user during bathing, and at the same time water consumption in adjusting the temperature of water for bathtub increases, so energy saving cannot be achieved.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate a hot water device for bathtub according to an embodiment of the present invention. The hot water device for bathtub includes: a refrigerant circuit 10 in which refrigerant circulates; hot water circuit 20 in which hot water circulates; a hot water storage tank 30 which stores high-temperature water; water supplying tube 40 acting as means for supplying low-temperature water; a mixing valve 50 which mixes high-temperature water supplied from the hot water storage tank 30 and low-temperature water supplied from the water supplying tube 40; a remote controller 60 acting as temperature setting means allowing setting of the temperature of water for bathtub to be supplied to a later described bathtub 51; an outdoor air temperature sensor 70 acting as outdoor air temperature information acquiring means for acquiring information on outdoor air temperature; and a controller 80 acting as control means.

[0016]The refrigerant circuit 10 is constituted of a compres...

Abstract

The present invention provides a hot water device for bathtub in which water is not wasted to allow energy saving and at the same time it is possible to save a trouble of adjusting the temperature of water for bathtub supplied to the bathtub to a temperature desired by the user during bathing. In the hot water device for bathtub of the invention, the water for bathtub having its temperature varied by the controller to temperature desired by the user during bathing is supplied to a bathtub. Accordingly, the temperature adjustment using hot water is not needed, and thus water is not wasted to allow energy saving and at the same time it is possible to save a trouble of adjusting the temperature of hot water in the bathtub to a temperature desired by the user during bathing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a hot water device for bathtub for home or professional use.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]As a hot water device for bathtub of this type, there has been known one which includes a hot water storage tank which stores high-temperature water, water supplying means for supplying low-temperature water, a temperature sensor which detects an outdoor air temperature, a timer which detects a time zone of day, and control means for controlling the operation of a compressor (for example, Japanese Patent Publication 2001-201177).[0005]In the hot water device for bathtub having the above configuration, the control means controls the operation of the compressor based on an outdoor air temperature detected by the temperature sensor and a time zone of day detected by the timer, whereby high-temperature water is stored in the hot water storage tank.[0006]However, in the hot water device fo...
