[0002] In a beauty salon, a haircut, color or perm is followed by a shampoo and rinse step.
[0003] For shampooing, a washing chair with a backrest and leg rest whose angle can be freely adjusted, and a shampoo stand that is placed behind the washing chair and has a recessed washing tub that supports the back of the customer's neck are required.
[0004] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conventional shampoo stand.
[0005] A customer sits on the washing chair 10, leans his / her neck back, and with his / her neck supported by the recessed portion 21 of the washing tub 20, washes and rinses his / her hair using a shower head attached to the washing tub 20.
[0006] Recently, shampoo stations are often used in beauty salons or skin care rooms to treat dandruff, dead skin cells, and hair loss, as well as for scalp massages. At these times, functional products are mixed with water and poured onto the hair.
[0007] In this case, when using the shower head of the cleaning tank 20 to flush the water, the worker must hold the shower head, which increases fatigue and the amount of water wasted.
[0008] Therefore, when using a shampooing station to treat dandruff, dead skin, and hair loss, or to massage the scalp, there is a need for a device that conserves water and functional products, reduces worker fatigue, and allows the worker to use both hands freely by continuously circulating water rather than draining it while running water, and that can be easily attached to the washing tank of the shampooing station.

[0019] The present invention relates to a shampoo stand-connected water circulation device that can be easily connected to the washing tub of a shampoo stand and uses a circulation motor and circulation piping to continuously circulate water in the washing tub so that it can fall onto the hair.
[0020] Referring to Figures 2 to 6, the water circulation device (hereinafter referred to as the water circulation device) 100 for use in the washing tub of the shampoo stand of the present invention includes a washing tub connection part 110, a circulation motor 140, a first pipe 130, an auxiliary pipe 120, a filter housing 160, a second pipe 150, a water discharge part 180, etc.
[0021] The washing basin 20 of the shampoo stand is recessed to accommodate water. The water circulation device 100 of the present invention can be attached to the washing basin 20 already used in beauty salons and can be easily separated when not needed.
[0022] The cleaning tank connecting portion 110 is connected to the wall of the cleaning tank 20 by a fastening member, and provides a supporting force for supporting the entire water circulation device 100.
[0023] The circulation motor 140 is located in the washing tank 20 and provides a force for circulating the water. The water pumped by the circulation device 100 is discharged from the water discharge part 180 and falls into the washing tank 20.
[0024] The first pipe 130 is connected to a circulation motor 140 .
[0025] The second pipe 150 is connected to the first pipe 130 and supported by the cleaning tank connector 110. The second pipe 150 can maintain its shape in a bent state and can be deformed into a desired shape, thereby adjusting the position of water discharged from the water outlet 180. The second pipe 150 has an inverted U shape overall in a bent state.
[0026] The filter housing 160 is connected to and supported by the cleaning tank connector 110 and is connected between the first pipe 130 and the second pipe 150. The mesh filter 170 is inserted and accommodated within the filter housing 160. A water-soluble solid chemical 175 may be located within the mesh filter 170. Water flowing through the first pipe 130 may flow into the filter housing 160 and the mesh filter 170 and then into the second pipe 150 after being filtered by the mesh filter 170.
[0027] The water outlet 180 is connected to the second pipe 150 and has an outlet that extends horizontally by a predetermined length so that water can fall downward. The outlet is extended horizontally so that water can be discharged across the width of a person's head. The outlet may be composed of one or more openings.
[0028] The water circulating device 100 of the present invention can be easily connected to and disconnected from an existing washing tank 20 via the washing tank connector 110, and water contained in the washing tank 20 can be continuously circulated by the circulating device 100 while being discharged through the first pipe 130, the second pipe 150, and the water outlet 180. This has the advantages of saving water, reducing operator fatigue, and allowing the operator to use both hands freely.
[0029] 2 and 3, the cleaning tank connector 110 according to the embodiment includes first to fourth connectors 111, 112, 113, and 114, a buffer member 115, and a fastening member .
[0030] The first coupling part 111 has a "∩" shape so as to cover both sides of the wall surface of the cleaning tank 20. A buffer member 115 and a fastening member 116 are fastened to the first coupling part 111, so that the entire cleaning tank coupling part 110 can be fixed to the cleaning tank 20. Other components may be connected to and supported by the cleaning tank coupling part 110. A threaded opening may be formed in the first coupling part 111 so that the fastening member 116 can be fastened.
[0031] The second coupling part 112 extends vertically from an upper part of the first coupling part 111. The second coupling part 112 may be coupled to an auxiliary pipe 120 extending horizontally.
[0032] The third coupling part 113 extends horizontally from an end of the first coupling part 111 located inside the cleaning tank 20. The third coupling part 113 has an opening through which the first pipe 130 passes and is supported.
[0033] The fourth coupling portion 114 extends downward from the third coupling portion 113 and supports the first pipe 130 so that it can extend downward along the fourth coupling portion 114.
[0034] The buffer members 115 are located on one side and the other side of the wall of the washing tank 20 inside the "∩"-shaped first connecting portion 111, and provide a buffering force that can prevent noise caused by friction during use while firmly connecting and supporting the entire water circulation device 100 to the washing tank 20.
[0035] The fastening members 116 are screwed to the first connecting portion 111 and the buffer members 115 to provide a fixing force that supports the entire water circulator 100. Two fastening members 116 may be fastened to the first connecting portion 111 in the horizontal direction, and the number of buffer members 115 is equal to the number of fastening members 116.
[0036] The auxiliary pipe 120 is connected to and supported by the first connecting part 111 via the second connecting part 112 and extends horizontally. The auxiliary pipe 120 has an inner pipe extending vertically, and a lower pipe 121 and an upper pipe 122 are connected to the bottom and top of the inner pipe, respectively. The auxiliary pipe 120, the lower pipe 121, and the upper pipe 122 allow for easy connection and disconnection of other pipes and ensure that the other pipes are firmly supported by the auxiliary pipe 120.
[0037] The first pipe 130 is connected to the lower part of the auxiliary pipe 120 via a lower pipe 121 , and the filter housing 160 is connected to the upper part of the auxiliary pipe 120 via an upper pipe 122 .
[0038] The above-described washing tank connector 110 is merely an example, and other easily modifiable shapes may be used as long as the washing tank connector 110 is fastened to the washing tank 20 and provides a firm support.
[0039] 3 to 6, water that flows into the filter housing 160 through the first pipe 130 (actually, the upper pipe 122) may flow into the second pipe 150 via the mesh filter 170.
[0040] The filter housing 160 may be formed by combining a first housing 161 and a second housing 162. The first housing 161 and the second housing 162 may each be formed in a cylindrical shape with one side open and may be connected to each other by a screw type. The first housing 161 and the second housing 162 have a cylindrical shape that extends in the horizontal direction.
[0041] The first housing 161 is connected at its lower and upper ends to the upper pipe 122 and the second pipe 150, respectively.
[0042] A cylindrical inner housing 163 with one open side is located within the first housing 161, and a mesh filter 170 is coupled to the inner housing 163. The inner housing 163 is smaller than the first housing 161, and a space is formed between them. The shape of the inner housing 163 and mesh filter 170 combined together is similar to the shape of the first housing 161 and second housing 162 combined together.
[0043] A connection opening 163a is formed in the lower part of the inner housing 163, and the connection opening 163a may be directly connected to the upper pipe 122. As a result, a flow path is formed from the upper pipe 122 to the inner housing 163 and the mesh filter 170.
[0044] The mesh filter 170 has a mesh formed therein, and large solid foreign matter that cannot pass through the mesh is filtered out from the water that flows into the mesh filter 170, and only small solid components can pass through the mesh together with the water.
[0045] A water-soluble solid chemical 175 may be located within the mesh filter 170. The solid chemical 175 may be effervescent soda, herbal medicine, fragrance, solid shampoo, soap, functional medicine, or the like. The effervescent soda may generate carbon dioxide or vitamin C together with water. The functional medicine may be, for example, an ingredient useful for treating dandruff, keratin, or hair loss. Water flowing into the inner housing 163 in a turbulent flow with a certain water pressure may rub against the solid chemical 175 within the mesh filter 170, causing the useful ingredients of the solid chemical 175 to dissolve in water.
[0046] 6, water directly flows into the inner housing 163 through the upper pipe 122 as indicated by the arrow, passes through the mesh filter 170, and flows into the second pipe 150 connected to the filter housing 160. The water rubs against the solid chemical 175 in the mesh filter 170, and the components of the solid chemical 175 dissolve and mix with the water as they pass through the mesh filter 170.
[0047] The water circulation device 100 of the present invention described above can be easily connected to the washing tank 20 of the shampoo stand for use, and allows the used water to continuously circulate and fall onto the hair without being drained, thereby saving water, reducing operator fatigue, and allowing the operator to use both hands freely.
[0048] In addition, the cleaning tank connector 110 is fixed to the cleaning tank 20 to provide firm support, and other support means such as auxiliary piping 120 connected to the cleaning tank connector 110 can firmly support the piping through which water flows.
[0049] Furthermore, since the solid chemical 175 is disposed within the mesh filter 170, the useful components of the solid chemical 175 can be circulated in a state where they are mixed with water.
[0050] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and that various modifications and variations can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. [Industrial Applicability]
[0051] According to the present invention, a shampoo stand-attached water circulation device can be provided that can be easily attached to the cleaning tank of a shampoo stand and that allows the used water to continuously circulate and fall onto the hair without being drained, thereby saving water, reducing worker fatigue, and allowing the worker to use both hands freely, and therefore has high industrial applicability.
