Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a novel bathtub skimmer, belonging to the field of bathtub technology. Background Technology

[0002] SPA bathtubs are a common product nowadays. After use, dirt, human hair, and human secretions such as oil and sweat will accumulate in the water, and bacteria and algae will grow. At the same time, outdoor SPA bathtubs may also have fallen leaves, scraps of paper, etc. on the surface of the water.

[0003] In related technologies, the water cleaning operation of SPA bathtubs is generally carried out by using a filter with a circulation system to achieve water circulation and filtration. Specifically, a PET paper filter element is installed in the filter, and the impurities in the water are removed by the filter element, thereby achieving the purpose of purifying and filtering the water.

[0004] However, there are some problems with using this type of filter to circulate water in a spa bath. For example, the inlet and outlet areas of the filter are usually fixed, so the flow rate cannot be adjusted flexibly according to the amount of impurities in the water, and the filtration efficiency cannot be changed. Moreover, most of the filtration space of the filter is below the water surface, so it cannot effectively filter some floating impurities such as human skin flakes and hair. Furthermore, the PET paper filter cartridge installed in the filter needs to be replaced frequently after a period of use. Replacing the paper filter cartridge requires disassembling and reassembling the filter to replace the PET paper filter cartridge. In addition, the need to disassemble and reassemble the filter and frequently replace the paper filter cartridge is inconvenient for users and increases the cost of use. Utility Model Content

It can also solve the problem of collecting and treating floating impurities on the water surface, while being easy to operate, improving ease of use, and being recyclable, thus reducing the cost of use.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:

[0007] A novel bathtub skimmer, comprising:

Detailed Implementation

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A novel bathtub skimmer, comprising:

[0030] The regulating valve assembly 5 is used to adjust the flow rate of the filtered water according to the amount of impurities in the water inside the bathtub, thereby changing the filtration efficiency.

[0031] The regulating valve assembly 5 includes a regulating cover 11 and a first base 14. The regulating cover 11 includes a turntable and regulating blades. There are two regulating blades, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the turntable.

[0032] The turntable is rotatably mounted on the first base 14. The first base 14 has symmetrically distributed drain holes 13 inside. The size of the symmetrically distributed drain holes 13 inside the first base 14 is adapted to the size of the symmetrically distributed adjusting blades on both sides of the turntable.

[0033] Please see Figure 5 By controlling the rotation of the turntable, the size of the obstruction space between the regulating blade and the discharge hole 13 is changed, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the filtered water through the discharge hole 13, so that the entire regulating valve assembly 5 can refer to the filtered water. Figure 5 For example, adjusting or changing the positions of three different water flow states, a, b, and c;

[0034] Specifically, two adjusting ears 10 are symmetrically distributed on the upper surface of the adjusting cover 11. The adjusting ears 10 on the upper surface of the adjusting cover 11 can provide force, making it easy for the operator to push the adjusting cover 11 to rotate around the first base 14, thereby changing the flow rate of the filtered water through the entire regulating valve assembly 5. At the same time, a limiting tooth 15 is provided at the axial position of the lower surface of the adjusting cover 11. The limiting tooth 15 on the lower surface of the adjusting cover 11 consists of four protruding structures. A limiting plate 12 is installed at the axial position of the surface of the first base 14. The limiting plate 12 on the axial position of the surface of the first base 14 consists of a limiting structure composed of several circumferentially distributed protruding structures. A misalignment gap is formed inside the limiting structure. The protruding structures on the lower surface of the adjusting cover 11 can be inserted into the misalignment gap formed inside the limiting structure.

[0035] In the embodiments of this utility model, when it is necessary to push the adjustment cover 11 to rotate by applying force to the adjustment ear 10 to change the flow rate of the filtered water through the adjustment valve assembly 5, when the adjustment cover 11 rotates, the limiting tooth 15 will rotate and move along the surface of the limiting disk 12. The limiting disk 12 is used to create resistance to the rotating adjustment cover 11, which makes it easy for the operator to accurately control the rotation amplitude of the adjustment cover 11 while ensuring that the adjustment cover 11 after positioning is not easily pushed by the water flow and shifted in position.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the novel bathtub skimmer further includes:

[0037] The skimmer body 3 is L-shaped. A filter mask 1 is provided at the inlet of one end of the skimmer body 3. The filter mask 1 is used for the initial filtration and interception of bath water. A filter basket 4 is installed inside the skimmer body 3. The filter basket 4 installed inside the skimmer body 3 is used for the secondary filtration and interception of bath water entering the skimmer body 3. A water outlet seat 6 is provided at the outlet of the other end of the skimmer body 3. A regulating valve assembly 5 is installed at the position where the water outlet seat 6 connects with the interior of the skimmer body 3. The regulating valve assembly 5 is used to adjust the drainage flow rate of the bath water after it has been filtered inside the skimmer body 3.

[0038] Specifically, an inlet seat 7 and a fixing ring 2 are respectively installed between the outer side of the skimmer body 3 and the outer side of the filter mask 1. The fixing ring 2 is fitted onto the outer wall of the inlet end of the skimmer body 3. The inner wall of the fixing ring 2 forms a threaded ring, and bolt holes are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the fixing ring 2. The outer side of the inlet seat 7 forms a threaded groove, and hanging ears are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the inlet seat 7.

[0039] In an embodiment of this utility model, when assembling the new bathtub skimmer with the bathtub, after the inner wall of the fixing ring 2 is fitted onto the outer side of the skimmer body 3 and rotated to lock it in place, the skimmer body 3 is then aligned and fitted to the water outlet position of the bathtub (by passing a bolt through the bolt hole on the surface of the fixing ring 2 and entering the screw hole at the corresponding position of the water outlet of the bathtub, the skimmer body 3 and the bathtub are locked together).

[0040] Then, the water inlet seat 7 is rotated and installed inside the threaded ring formed on the inner wall of the fixing ring 2, so that the water inlet seat 7 is installed at the upper port 9 of the bathtub shell 8. Finally, the back of the filter cover 1 is hung on the hanging ears that are symmetrically distributed on the surface of the water inlet seat 7, so that the entire skimmer body 3 can be installed and fixed at the drain hole of the bathtub shell 8.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2and Figure 6 The filter basket 4 includes a filter basket body, which is a cuboid structure. A filter groove is formed inside the filter basket body, and filter holes 17 are evenly distributed around the outer perimeter of the filter basket body. Meanwhile, a pinch ear 18 is installed on the upper side of one side of the filter basket body, and card holders 16 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the pinch ear 18.

[0042] When the filter basket 4 is installed inside the body 3 of the skimmer, hold the filter basket 4 at the pinching lug 18 position and place the filter basket 4 at the corner of the body 3 of the skimmer. At this time, the clip 16 on the filter basket 4 fits into the corner of the body 3 of the skimmer, that is, the filter basket 4 is installed in place inside the body 3 of the skimmer.

[0043] The workflow of this embodiment is as follows:

[0044] The following describes the specific usage method of this new type of bathtub skimmer:

[0045] Step S1: After the new bathtub skimmer is installed, it can be connected to the bathtub's circulation system to participate in the circulation and filtration of the bathtub water.

[0046] Step S2: After working for a period of time (the specific time can be flexibly controlled according to the degree of water pollution), remove the filter mask 1, and then take out the filter basket 4 inside the skimmer body 3. At this time, there will be more or less filtered dirt in the filter basket 4. After cleaning the dirt on the filter basket 4, the filter basket 4 can be put back into the skimmer body 3. The filter basket 4 can be cleaned and reused multiple times, which can effectively reduce the cost of use.

[0047] Step S3: If it is necessary to adjust the filtration efficiency, the filter mask 1 and the filter basket 4 can be removed together, and the regulating valve assembly 5 can also be removed from the body of the skimmer 3 by hand. By adjusting the relative position of the regulating cover 11, the outlet size of the drain hole 13 can be adjusted to adjust the outflow rate, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the filtration efficiency.

[0048] Step S4: After cleaning the filter basket 4 or adjusting the flow rate of the regulating valve assembly 5, place them in their respective positions and then reinstall and reset the filter mask 1.

[0049] Users can easily install and use this new bathtub skimmer by following the above operating procedures.

[0050] In other embodiments, the size of the filtered dirt can be adjusted by changing the size or shape of the filter holes 17 on the filter basket 4, or a reusable block of filter cotton can be placed inside the filter basket 4 to achieve a more precise filtration function.

[0051] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
