Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention relates to a sauna bath, particularly a sauna bath for home use that uses a heater such as a far-infrared heater as a heat source.

(Prior Art) As is well known, this type of sauna bath mainly consists of a chamber body 1 assembled into a box shape, and a door 2 for opening and closing the entrance/exit of the chamber body 1. Inside, a chair 3 for a bather to sit on, the aforementioned heater (not shown), etc. are installed.

By the way, it has been considered that a sauna bath having such a configuration can also be used as a dryer for drying clothes and the like using the above-mentioned heater as a heat source. Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIG. 2, a dehumidifier 4 is installed in the upper part of the chamber main body 1, and when used as a dryer, this dehumidifier 4 is operated.

However, if the dehumidifier 4 is installed in such a location, when the room is used as a sauna bath, the heat from the heater will be trapped in the upper part of the room body 1, which will have an adverse effect on the dehumidifier 4. In order to avoid such adverse effects, the intake section 5 and exhaust section 6 of the dehumidifier 4 must be
A lid 7 is provided to close the sauna bath, and when used as a sauna bath, the lid 7 is used to close the sauna bath.

However, such work is inconvenient for the user. In addition, installing such a dehumidifier 4 at the top of the room body 1 means that the center of gravity of the room body 1 is located at the top, which makes handling extremely inconvenient, and also makes it uncomfortable for bathers. , the heavy dehumidifier 4 will be placed on the head, which may cause psychological anxiety.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) This invention reduces the adverse effects of heat on a dehumidifier for a dryer, even when it is used as a dryer using a heater as a heat source, and maintains ease of handling. purpose.

(Means for solving the problem) This invention is characterized by the fact that a dehumidifier that is operated when used as a dryer is installed at the bottom of the bather's chair installed inside the main body of the room. shall be.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.
According to this idea, a dehumidifier 4, which is operated when used as a dryer, is installed at the bottom of a chair 3 for a bather installed inside a room body 1, as shown in the figure.

In this case, the intake part of the dehumidifier 4 is directed to the front, and the exhaust part is directed to the rear. Then, dry air from the exhaust section is placed on the back of the chamber body 1.
A ventilation passage 8 is formed to guide the air to the upper part of the air. The air guided to the upper part by the ventilation passage 8 is discharged into the interior of the chamber body 1 through the discharge hole 9.

Inside the chamber main body 1, a hanging rod 10 for hanging a hanger on which clothes to be dried are hung when used as a dryer is provided in advance.

When used as a dryer, clothes are hung using the hanging rod 10 as in the conventional case, and then the heater, which is a heat source when used as a sauna bath, is operated, and at the same time, the dehumidifier 4 is also operated. Moisture is removed from the humid air by the dehumidifier 4, and the dry air passes through the ventilation passage 8 and reaches the upper part of the sump chamber main body 1, and is discharged from the chamber through the exhaust hole 9 provided at the upper part. It is discharged toward the inside of the main body 1. By repeating this process, the clothes will be dried quickly.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, according to this invention, since the dehumidifier is located at the bottom of the room body, it will not be adversely affected by exposure to heat from the heater.
With this, the center of gravity is located at the bottom, making it easier to handle and eliminating the risk of psychological anxiety for bathers. Since the liquid is guided upwards of the chamber body and discharged from there into the interior of the chamber body, it is possible to quickly dry clothes and the like.
