Claims

1. Bathtub and A bathtub cleaning unit that discharges water or detergent water into the bathtub, A vibrating unit is installed on the side wall of the bathtub and vibrates the bathtub, A control unit that controls the bathtub cleaning unit and the vibration unit, Equipped with, The bathtub system is characterized in that the control unit can control the vibration of the bathtub by the vibration unit while the bathtub cleaning unit is discharging water or detergent water into the bathtub.

2. The bathtub system according to claim 1, characterized in that the control unit has a mode in which it causes the bathtub cleaning unit to discharge water or detergent water into the bathtub while the vibrating unit vibrates the bathtub.

3. The control unit, The system has a first mode in which the bathtub cleaning unit discharges water into the bathtub, a second mode in which, after the first mode, the bathtub cleaning unit discharges detergent water into the bathtub, and a third mode in which, after the second mode, the bathtub cleaning unit discharges water into the bathtub. The bathtub system according to claim 2, characterized in that the vibrating part can be controlled to vibrate the bathtub while the detergent water is being discharged in the second mode.

4. The control unit, The system has a first mode in which the bathtub cleaning unit discharges water into the bathtub, a second mode in which, after the first mode, the bathtub cleaning unit discharges detergent water into the bathtub, and a third mode in which, after the second mode, the bathtub cleaning unit discharges water into the bathtub. The bathtub system according to claim 2, characterized in that the vibrating part can be controlled to vibrate the bathtub while water is being discharged in the third mode.

5. The control unit, The system has a first mode in which the bathtub cleaning unit discharges water into the bathtub, a second mode in which, after the first mode, the bathtub cleaning unit discharges detergent water into the bathtub, a standby mode in which, after the second mode, the bathtub cleaning unit does not discharge water or detergent water, and a third mode in which, after the standby mode, the bathtub cleaning unit discharges water into the bathtub.
