Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a water circulation device that can be used in a shampoo stand for shampooing in a beauty salon.

Background Art

[0002] In a beauty salon, the steps of shampooing and rinsing follow after hair cutting, coloring, or perming.

[0003] For shampooing, a washing chair whose backrest and leg rest angles can be freely converted, and a shampoo stand that is arranged behind such a washing chair and has a washing tank recessed to support the back of the customer's neck are required.

[0004] FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a conventional shampoo stand.

[0005] With the customer sitting on the washing chair 10 and bending the neck backward so that the neck is supported by the recessed portion 21 of the washing tank 20, the hair is washed or rinsed using the shower head attached to the washing tank 20.

[0006] Recently, in many cases, in a beauty salon or a skin care room, dandruff, keratin, hair removal care, and scalp massage are performed using a shampoo stand. At this time, a functional product is mixed with water and poured onto the hair.

[0007] In this case, when flowing water using the shower head of the washing tank 20, the operator has to hold the shower head, resulting in increased fatigue and an increase in the amount of water discarded.

[0008] Therefore, when performing dandruff, keratin, hair removal care, and scalp massage on a shampoo stand, instead of draining water while flowing water, by continuously circulating water, it is possible to save water and functional products, reduce the fatigue of the operator, and enable the operator to freely use both hands, and a device that can be easily coupled to the washing tank of the shampoo stand is required.

[0017] Hereinafter, referring to the accompanying drawings, the configuration and operation of preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. Here, when attaching reference numerals to the components of each figure, it should be noted that the same components are denoted by the same numerals as much as possible even if they are shown on different figures.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in which a shampoo stand combined water circulation device according to an embodiment of the present invention is coupled to a washing tank. FIG. 3 is a view showing in detail the main configuration of the shampoo stand combined water circulation device of FIG. 2. FIG. 4 is a view showing a state in which a mesh filter is contained in a filter housing in FIG. 3. FIG. 5 is a view showing the mesh filter and chemicals of FIG. 4. FIG. 6 is a view showing a state in which water circulates through the mesh filter in the shampoo stand combined water circulation device of FIG. 2.

[0019] The present invention relates to a shampoo stand combined water circulation device that can be easily coupled to a washing tank of a shampoo stand and uses a circulation motor and circulation piping to continuously circulate the water in the washing tank so that it can fall onto the hair.

[0020] Referring to FIGS. 2 to 6, a water circulation device 100 for use in a washing tank of a shampoo stand of the present invention (hereinafter, the water circulation device) includes a washing tank coupling portion 110, a circulation motor 140, a first pipe 130, an auxiliary pipe 120, a filter housing 160, a second pipe 150, a water discharge portion 180, and the like.

[0021] The washing tank 20 of the shampoo stand is formed to be recessed so as to be able to contain water. The water circulation device 100 of the present invention can be coupled to an existing washing tank 20 used in a beauty salon and can be easily separated when not needed.

[0022] The washing tank coupling portion 110 is coupled to the wall surface of the washing tank 20 with a fastening member to provide a supporting force for supporting the entire water circulation device 100.

[0023] The circulation motor 140 is located inside the washing tank 20 and provides the force to circulate the water. The water pumped by the circulation device 100 is discharged from the water discharge section 180 and falls back into the washing tank 20.

[0024] The first pipe 130 is connected to the circulation motor 140.

[0025] The second pipe 150 is connected to the first pipe 130 and supported by the washing tank connection part 110. The second pipe 150 can maintain its shape when bent and can be deformed into a desired shape, allowing adjustment of the position of water discharged from the water discharge part 180. When bent, the second pipe 150 has an overall inverted U shape.

[0026] The filter housing 160 is connected to and supported by the washing tank coupling 110 and is connected between the first pipe 130 and the second pipe 150. The mesh filter 170 is inserted and housed inside the filter housing 160. A water-soluble solid chemical 175 may be located inside the mesh filter 170. Water flowing through the first pipe 130 flows into the filter housing 160 and the mesh filter 170, and may flow into the second pipe 150 after being filtered by the mesh filter 170.

[0027] The water discharge section 180 is connected to the second pipe 150 and has a discharge port that extends laterally by a predetermined length so that water can fall downward. The laterally extended discharge port is to allow water to be discharged over the width of a person's head. The discharge port may consist of one or more openings.

[0028] The water circulation device 100 of the present invention can be easily connected to and disconnected from an existing cleaning tank 20 by the cleaning tank coupling part 110, and the water in the cleaning tank 20 can be continuously circulated by the circulation device 100 while being discharged through the first pipe 130, the second pipe 150 and the water discharge part 180. This has the advantages of saving water, reducing worker fatigue, and allowing workers to use both hands freely.

[0029] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the cleaning tank coupling portion 110 according to the embodiment includes the first to fourth coupling portions 111, 112, 113, and 114, a buffer member 115, and a fastening member 116.

[0030] The first connecting portion 111 has an "∩" shape so as to cover both sides of the wall surface of the cleaning tank 20. The buffer member 115 and the fastening member 116 are fastened to the first connecting portion 111, so that the entire cleaning tank connecting portion 110 can be fixed to the cleaning tank 20. Other components may be connected to and supported by such a cleaning tank connecting portion 110. The first connecting portion 111 may have a threaded opening so that the fastening member 116 can be fastened to it.

[0031] The second joint 112 extends vertically from the upper part of the first joint 111. An auxiliary pipe 120 extending horizontally may be connected to the second joint 112.

[0032] The third joint 113 extends horizontally from the end of the first joint 111, which is located inside the cleaning tank 20. An opening is formed in the third joint 113 for the first pipe 130 to pass through and be supported.

[0033] The fourth joint 114 extends downward from the third joint 113 and supports the first pipe 130 so that it can be extended downward along the fourth joint 114.

[0034] The cushioning members 115 are located on one and the other sides of the wall surface of the cleaning tank 20, respectively, inside the "∩" shaped first joint 111, and provide cushioning force that prevents noise caused by friction during use while the entire water circulation device 100 is firmly connected to and supported by the cleaning tank 20.

[0035] The fastening members 116 are screw-type fastened to the first joint 111 and the buffer member 115, providing a fixing force that supports the entire water circulation device 100. Two fastening members 116 may be fastened to the first joint 111 in the lateral direction, and the number of buffer members 115 corresponds to the number of fastening members 116.

[0036] The auxiliary pipe 120 is connected to and supported by the first joint 111 via the second joint 112, and extends laterally. An internal pipe extending vertically is formed in the auxiliary pipe 120, and the lower pipe 121 and upper pipe 122 are connected to the lower and upper parts of this internal pipe, respectively. The auxiliary pipe 120, the lower pipe 121, and the upper pipe 122 allow for easy separation and connection 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 the lower pipe 121, and the filter housing 160 is connected to the upper part of the auxiliary pipe 120 via the upper pipe 122.

[0038] The cleaning tank coupling portion 110 described above is merely an illustrative example, and other easily deformable forms may be used, as long as the cleaning tank coupling portion 110 is tightened to the cleaning tank 20 and provides a firm support.

[0039] Referring to Figures 3 to 6, the water that flows into the filter housing 160 through the first pipe 130 [actually the upper pipe 122] may then flow into the second pipe 150 via the mesh filter 170.

[0040] The filter housing 160 may be configured as a combination of a first housing 161 and a second housing 162. The first housing 161 and the second housing 162 are each formed as cylindrical shapes with one end open and may be joined by screws. The first housing 161 and the second housing 162 have a cylindrical shape that extends laterally.

[0041] The first housing 161 is connected to the upper piping 122 and the second piping 150 at its lower and upper parts, respectively.

[0042] Inside the first housing 161 is a cylindrical inner housing 163 that is open on one side, and a mesh filter 170 is coupled to this inner housing 163. The inner housing 163 is formed to be smaller than the first housing 161, and a space is formed between them. The shape of the inner housing 163 and the mesh filter 170 coupled together is similar to the shape of the first housing 161 and the second housing 162 coupled together.

[0043] The internal housing 163 has a connecting opening 163a at its lower part, and this connecting opening 163a may be directly connected to the upper piping 122. This creates a flow path from the upper piping 122 to the internal housing 163 and the mesh filter 170.

[0044] The mesh filter 170 has a mesh screen, and large solid foreign matter that cannot pass through the mesh screen is filtered out of the water that flows into the mesh filter 170, while only small solid components can pass through the mesh screen along with the water.

[0045] A water-soluble solid chemical 175 may be located inside the mesh filter 170. The solid chemical 175 may be carbonated water, herbal medicine, fragrance, solid shampoo, soap, functional agent, etc. Carbonated water can generate carbon dioxide or vitamin C when mixed with water. Functional agents may be, for example, ingredients useful for treating dandruff, dead skin cells, or hair loss. Water flowing into the internal housing 163 in a turbulent flow state with a certain water pressure may rub against the solid chemical 175 inside the mesh filter 170, causing the useful components of the solid chemical 175 to dissolve in the water.

[0046] In Figure 6, as indicated by the arrows, water that flows directly into the internal housing 163 through the upper piping 122 passes through the mesh filter 170 and flows into the second piping 150 connected to the filter housing 160. The water passes through the mesh filter 170 while rubbing against the solid chemical 175 inside the mesh filter 170, with the components of the solid chemical 175 dissolved and mixed with the water.

[0047] According to the water circulation device 100 of the present invention described above, it can be easily connected to the washing tank 20 of a shampoo station and used, and the water used can be continuously circulated without being drained and allowed to fall onto the hair, thereby saving water, reducing worker fatigue, and allowing the worker to use both hands freely.

[0048] Furthermore, the cleaning tank coupling 110 is fixed to the cleaning tank 20, providing a firm support force, and other support means, such as auxiliary piping 120 connected to the cleaning tank coupling 110, can firmly support the piping through which water flows.

[0049] Furthermore, since the solid chemical 175 is placed inside 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 with ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and can be implemented in various ways by modification or alteration without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. [Industrial applicability]

[0051] According to the present invention, a shampoo basin-mounted water circulation device can be easily attached to the washing tank of a shampoo basin and used, and by continuously circulating the water used without draining it and allowing it to fall onto the hair, it is possible to provide a water-saving device that reduces worker fatigue and allows the worker to use both hands freely, thus having high industrial applicability.
