Bath heater cleaning tools

Abstract

To provide a bath heater cleaning tool capable of improving the cleaning effect on a bath heater pipe at a one-hole type reheating circulation port. [Solution] The bath heater cleaning tool 100 has a first opening 110 large enough to cover the periphery of the reheating circulation port connected to the bath heater piping in the bathtub, a second opening 120 that can receive the addition of a detergent, a quarter-circle arc-shaped connector 130 that connects the first and second openings, and a cushioning material 140 attached to the end of the first opening. By adding detergent to the second opening while reheating water in a bathtub filled with water up to the single-hole reheating circulation port and placing the first opening of the bath heater cleaning tool over the reheating circulation port, the detergent can be added directly to and circulated in the bath heater piping located behind the single-hole reheating circulation port.

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This specification discloses a technique related to a bath heater cleaning tool. [Background technology]

[0002] A bath heater cleaning tool is a device used to clean the inside of the bath heater pipes connected from the bath heater to the bathtub. Patent Document 1 describes a bath heater cleaning tool for efficiently supplying a cleaning agent to a two-hole reheating circulation port provided with two reheating circulation ports, an inlet and an outlet. In the bath heater cleaning method described in Patent Document 1, a pair of hoses is fitted into each of the inlet and outlet, and a cleaning agent solution is supplied from the open ends of the hoses. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3159958 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The bath heater cleaning method in Patent Document 1 has the problem that it cannot be used for bath heater piping connected to a single-hole reheating circulation port where the suction port and discharge port are combined. Also, when cleaning the bath heater piping by adding a cleaning agent to water filled in the bathtub up to the top of the single-hole reheating circulation port and reheating the water, the concentration of the cleaning agent is diluted by the water in the bathtub, reducing the cleaning effect on the bath heater piping. [Means for solving the problem]

[0005] One embodiment disclosed herein is a bath heater cleaning tool for cleaning the inside of a bath heater pipe connected to a bath heater. This bath heater cleaning tool includes a first opening large enough to cover the periphery of the reheating circulation port connected to the bath heater pipe in the bathtub, a second opening capable of receiving a detergent dispenser, a quarter-circle arc-shaped connector connecting the first and second openings, and a cushioning material attached to the end of the first opening. With this bath heater cleaning tool, while reheating water in a bathtub filled up to the single-hole reheating circulation port, the first opening of the bath heater cleaning tool is placed over the reheating circulation port and a detergent dispenser is dispensed into the second opening. This allows the detergent to be dispensed directly into and circulated through the bath heater pipe behind the single-hole reheating circulation port. As a result, the single-hole reheating circulation port can provide improved cleaning effectiveness for the bath heater pipe compared to dispensing the detergent throughout the bathtub's water. Furthermore, with this type of bath heater cleaning tool, the cushioning material can prevent damage to the bathtub around the reheating circulation port during the cleaning operation. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[0006] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a bath heater cleaning tool. [Figure 2] FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the specifications of the bath heater cleaning tool. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0007] FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a bath boiler cleaning tool 100. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the specifications of the bath boiler cleaning tool 100. The bath boiler cleaning tool 100 is a tool for cleaning the inside of a bath boiler piping 860 connected from a bathtub 810 to a bath boiler 850. The bathtub 810 is equipped with a single-hole reheating circulation port 820 in which an inlet 861 and an outlet 863 are combined into one. The bath boiler piping 860 has an inlet piping 862 connected to the inlet 861 and an outlet piping 864 connected to the outlet 863.

[0008] The bath heater cleaning tool 100 includes an opening 110, an opening 120, a connecting portion 130, and a cushioning material 140.

[0009] Opening 110 of boiler water cleaning tool 100 is a first opening large enough to cover the periphery of reheating circulation port 820 connected to boiler water pipe 860 in bathtub 810. Opening 110 is cylindrical.

[0010] The opening 120 of the bath boiler cleaning tool 100 is a second opening that can receive a detergent. The opening 120 has the same cylindrical shape as the opening 110 and is the same size as the opening 110.

[0011] The connecting part 130 of the bath boiler cleaning tool 100 is a part that forms a quarter arc shape and connects the openings 110 and 120. The connecting part 130 is a VU joint (thin-walled pipe, 90° elbow) made of polyvinyl chloride that is integrally molded with the openings 110 and 120.

[0012] The cushion material 140 of the bath boiler cleaning tool 100 is a flexible member provided at the end of the opening 110. The cushion material 140 is made of rubber.

[0013] As shown in Figure 2, when cleaning boiler pipes 860, the worker turns on the reheating function in bathtub 810, which is filled with water up to the top of single-hole reheating circulation port 820, and pours a cleaning agent into opening 120, which is above the water surface WS, with opening 110 of boiler cleaning tool 100 covering reheating circulation port 820. This allows the cleaning agent to be directly poured into and circulated in boiler pipes 860 located behind single-hole reheating circulation port 820.

[0014] The bath boiler cleaning tool 100 of the present embodiment described above can improve the cleaning effect on the bath boiler piping 860 at the single-hole reheating circulation port 820 compared to when a cleaning agent is poured into the entire water in the bathtub 810. Furthermore, the bath boiler cleaning tool 100 can prevent damage to the bathtub 810 around the reheating circulation port 820 by using the cushion material 140 during the cleaning operation.

[0015] The technology disclosed in this specification is not limited to the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, and can be realized in various configurations without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, among the technical features of the above-described embodiments, examples, and modifications, those corresponding to the technical features of each form described in the Summary of the Invention column can be appropriately replaced and combined to solve some or all of the above-described problems or achieve some or all of the above-described effects. Furthermore, technical features not described as essential in this specification can be appropriately deleted. [Explanation of symbols]
