Description

Shampoo stand combined water circulation device

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

[0002] At the salon, after a cut, color, or perm, the hair is washed and rinsed.

[0003] For washing hair, a washing chair with a freely adjustable backrest or legrest angle and a shampoo stand with a concave washing basin placed at the back of the washing chair to support the back of the customer's neck are required.

[0004] Figure 1 is a drawing showing a conventional shampoo stand.

[0005] The customer sits on the washing chair (10), tilts his head back, and with his neck supported by the concave portion (21) of the washing tank (20), uses the shower head in the washing tank (20) to wash or rinse his head.

[0006] Recently, many people use shampoo bottles at beauty salons or skin care centers to treat dandruff, dead skin cells, hair loss, or scalp massage. At this time, functional products are mixed in water and the water is directed towards the head.

[0007] In this case, if water is flowed using the shower head of the washing tank (20), there is a problem that the worker has to hold the shower head, which increases fatigue and increases the amount of water wasted.

[0008] Therefore, when using a shampoo stand for dandruff, dead skin cells, hair loss care, or scalp massage, a device is needed that allows water to continuously circulate rather than draining it while running, thereby saving water and functional products, reducing worker fatigue, and freeing both hands, while being easily combined with the shampoo stand's washing tank.

[0038] The first pipe (130) is connected to a circulation motor (140).

[0039] The second pipe (150) is connected to the first pipe (130) and supported by the washing tank joint (110). The second pipe (150) can maintain its shape in a bent state and can be deformed into a desired shape, thereby controlling the position of water discharged through the water discharge portion (180). The second pipe (150) has an overall inverted U-shape in a bent state.

[0040] The filter housing (160) is connected to and supported by the washing tank coupling portion (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 solid chemical (175) that can be dissolved in water can be positioned within the mesh filter (170). Water flowing through the first pipe (130) flows into the filter housing (160) and the mesh filter (170), and can flow into the second pipe (150) in a state in which it has been filtered by the mesh filter (170).

[0041] The water discharge unit (180) is connected to the second pipe (150) and has a discharge port that extends horizontally by a predetermined length to allow water to fall downward. The discharge port extends horizontally to discharge water across the width of a human head. The discharge port may be formed by one or more openings.

[0042] The water circulation device (100) of the present invention can be easily connected to or separated from an existing washing tank (20) by means of a washing tank coupling portion (110), and water contained in the washing 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 portion (180) by the circulation device (100). Accordingly, there is an advantage of saving water, reducing worker fatigue, and freeing both hands of the worker.

[0043] Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the washing tank coupling part (110) according to the embodiment includes first to fourth coupling parts (111, 112, 113, 114), a buffer member (115), and a fastening member (116).

[0044] The first connecting portion (111) has a “∩” shape to surround both sides of the wall of the washing tank (20). A buffer member (115) and a fastening member (116) are fastened to the first connecting portion (111), so that the entire washing tank connecting portion (110) can be fixed to the washing tank (20). Other components can be connected to and supported by this washing tank connecting portion (110). A threaded opening can be formed in the first connecting portion (111) so that the fastening member (116) can be fastened.

[0045] The second joint (112) extends vertically from the upper portion of the first joint (111). An auxiliary pipe (120) extending horizontally can be coupled to the second joint (112).

[0046] The third connecting portion (113) extends horizontally from the end of the first connecting portion (111) located inside the washing tank (20). An opening is formed in the third connecting portion (113) through which the first pipe (130) can pass and be supported.

[0047] The fourth joint (114) extends downward from the third joint (113) to support the first pipe (130) so that it can extend downward along the fourth joint (114).

[0048] The buffer member (115) is positioned on one side and the other side of the wall of the washing tank (20) inside the first connecting portion (111) in the shape of a “∩”, so that the entire water circulation device (100) is firmly connected and supported to the washing tank (20), and provides a buffering force that can prevent noise caused by friction during use.

[0049] The fastening member (116) is screw-fastened to the first connecting portion (111) and the buffer member (115) to provide a fixing force that can support the entire water circulation device (100). Two fastening members (116) can 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).

[0050] The auxiliary pipe (120) is supported and extended laterally by being connected to the first joint portion (111) via the second joint portion (112). An inner pipe extending vertically is formed in the auxiliary pipe (120), and a lower pipe (121) and an upper pipe (122) are respectively connected to the lower and upper portions of the inner pipe. The auxiliary pipe (120), the lower pipe (121), and the upper pipe (122) enable other pipes to be easily separated and connected, and the other pipes to be firmly supported by the auxiliary pipe (120).

[0051] The first pipe (130) is connected to the lower part of the auxiliary pipe (120) through the lower pipe (121), and the filter housing (160) is connected to the upper part of the auxiliary pipe (120) through the upper pipe (122).

[0052] The above-described washing tank joint (110) is an exemplary form, and may be implemented in another form that can be easily deformed as long as the washing tank joint (110) is fastened to the washing tank (20) and provides a solid support force.

[0053] Referring to FIGS. 3 to 6, water flowing into the filter housing (160) through the first pipe (130) (actually the upper pipe (122)) can flow into the second pipe (150) through the mesh filter (170).

[0054] 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) are each formed in a cylindrical shape with one side open, and may be combined in a screw manner. The first housing (161) and the second housing (162) have a cylindrical shape extending in the transverse direction.

[0055] The first housing (161) is connected to the upper pipe (122) and the second pipe (150) at the bottom and top, respectively.

[0056] A cylindrical inner housing (163) with one side open is positioned within the first housing (161), and a mesh filter (170) is coupled to this inner housing (163). The inner housing (163) is formed to have a smaller size than the first housing (161), so that a space is formed between them. The shape of the inner housing (163) and the mesh filter (170) combined is similar to the shape of the first housing (161) and the second housing (162) combined.

[0057] A connection opening (163a) is formed at the bottom of the inner housing (163), and this connection opening (163a) can be directly connected to the upper pipe (122). Accordingly, a flow path is formed from the upper pipe (122) to the inner housing (163) and the mesh filter (170).

[0058] A mesh net is formed in the mesh filter (170), so that large solid foreign substances that cannot pass through the mesh net in the water flowing into the mesh filter (170) are filtered out, and only small solid substances can pass through the mesh net together with the water.

[0059] A solid pharmaceutical (175) that can be dissolved in water may be positioned within the mesh filter (170). The solid pharmaceutical (175) may be a carbonated foam, herbal medicine, an air freshener, a solid shampoo, soap, a functional pharmaceutical, etc. The carbonated foam may generate carbon dioxide together with water or may generate vitamin C, etc. The functional pharmaceutical may be an ingredient useful for dandruff, keratin, and hair loss care, for example. Water that flows into the inner housing (163) in a turbulent form with a constant water pressure may rub against the solid pharmaceutical (175) within the mesh filter (170), thereby causing the useful ingredients of the solid pharmaceutical (175) to dissolve in the water.

[0060] As indicated by the arrow in Fig. 6, water that flows directly into the inner housing (163) through the upper pipe (122) flows out through the mesh filter (170) and flows into the second pipe (150) connected to the filter housing (160). As the water rubs against the solid chemical (175) inside the mesh filter (170), the components of the solid chemical (175) dissolve and flow out of the mesh filter (170) mixed with water.

[0061] According to the water circulation device (100) of the present invention described above, it can be easily combined with the washing tank (20) of a shampoo stand and used, and the water used is continuously circulated without being drained so that it can fall toward the head, thereby saving water and reducing worker fatigue and allowing the worker to use both hands freely.

[0062] In addition, the washing tank coupling part (110) is fixed to the washing tank (20) to provide a solid support force, and the pipes through which water flows can be solidly supported by other support means such as an auxiliary pipe (120) connected to the washing tank coupling part (110).

[0063] In addition, a solid drug (175) can be placed within the mesh filter (170), so that useful components of the solid drug (175) can be circulated while being mixed in water.

[0064] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can be implemented by various modifications or changes within a scope that does not depart from the technical spirit of the present invention.

[0065] According to the present invention, a shampoo stand-mounted water circulation device can be provided that can be easily combined with a shampoo stand's washing tank for use, and that allows the water used to be continuously circulated without being drained so that it can fall toward the head, thereby saving water, reducing worker fatigue, and freeing both hands of the worker, and thus has high industrial applicability.
