Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] This invention relates to a sauna in which the room is heated by a heater or the like for bathing.

[Background technology]

Wiring for heaters such as stoves used to heat the sauna room can be wired inside the panels that make up the sauna room, or on the inside or outside surfaces of the panels. However, when the inside of the panel is used as a space for wiring, it takes many man-hours to manufacture the panel, such as embedding a wiring pipe together with a heat insulating material inside the panel and providing a hole for drawing out the wiring, which increases the cost. When using the indoor surface of the panel, the wiring cord needs to be heat resistant, and when using the outdoor surface of the panel, there are problems with appearance, such as poor appearance.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above, the purpose of this invention is to provide a sauna that can be easily wired.

In the sauna room, if necessary, panel 2...
It is possible to attach interior materials such as slats 7, etc. to the surface, and to install chairs, thermometers, etc. Note that the entrance/exit to the sauna room is not shown.

FIG. 2 shows the splicing of panel 2. Second
As shown in the figure, in areas not related to wiring, the panels 2 are directly joined together using, for example, groove joints. Of course, they may be joined via joint material. The seams may be joined using a tongue-and-groove joint or other methods. Where wiring is required, the panels 2 are always joined together using joint material 3, for example, with a tongue-and-groove joint. These situations are shown in plan views in FIGS. 3a and 3b. As shown in FIG. 3a, tongues 3c, 3c are provided on each surface of the joint material 3 facing the panels 2, 2, and tongues 3c, 3c are provided on each surface of the panels 2, 2 facing the joint material 3. Grooves 2a, 2a are provided respectively, and tongues 3c, 3c are provided with tongue grooves 2a, 2a, respectively.
The panels 2, 2 are joined together with a tongue-and-groove joint via the joint material 3. In areas where wiring is not required, grooves 2a and 2a are usually provided on the opposing surfaces of the panels 2 and 2a, respectively, as shown in Figure 3b. 8 into their tongue grooves 2a, 2a, the panels 2,2 are joined together with a tongue and groove joint.

Further, as shown in FIG. 2, two or more through holes 3b are provided on the same side of the joint material 3 and serve as openings that connect the wiring space to the outside, so that they can be selectively used depending on the wiring equipment. For example, in the case of two
One side is for the heater power source and the other is for the speaker, or one is for the heater power source and the other is for the lighting equipment power source. If the longitudinal end face of the joint material 3 is open and exposed to the outside, cover it with a cap 3d that has a through hole for wiring (not shown) or cover it with a lid that does not have a through hole. It is preferable to provide

Note that the same numbers are given to the same parts in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3 a and b, respectively.

As typified by this embodiment, the sauna according to this invention has a wiring space inside the joint material between the panels, so it requires less man-hours than when wiring inside the panels. There is no cost increase. The wiring cord runs inside the joint material, which improves the appearance and solves problems with appearance. Furthermore, since most of the wiring cord passes through the inside of the joint material, there is only a very small portion exposed inside the sauna room, so the wiring cord does not need to have very good heat resistance. Furthermore, since the wiring cord is not exposed inside the sauna room, the risk of electric shock for sauna bathers is reduced.

In addition, in the sauna according to this invention, the through holes provided on the side of the joint material may be provided in advance at the time of manufacturing the joint material, or may be provided at the assembly site, but the through holes may be provided in the wiring space and its outside (inside the sauna room, It is preferable to install it only in places where it is necessary to connect it to the outside of the sauna, the wiring space for other joint materials, etc. The portion of the through hole that corresponds to the entrance to the outside may be closed or closed so that the insulating coating of the wiring cord is not damaged and/or a gap is not formed between the wiring cord and the wiring cord. Further, when the end face of the wiring space is exposed to the outside, it is preferable to cover it as described above in order to prevent the intrusion of dust and mice. Heat loss can also be reduced by filling the wiring space with insulating material.

FIG. 4 is a plan view showing a part of another embodiment of the sauna according to this invention. As shown in Figure 4, this sauna room 11 also has walls with panels 12...
It is made by piecing together. Panel 1
2... may have different sizes as shown in the figure, but they may all have the same size, thickness, etc. The panels 12 are joined together via a hollow columnar joint material 13. The panel 12 and the joint material 13 are joined by a groove joint. In addition,
Illustrations of devices for heating indoor air, entrances and exits, and equipment provided as necessary are omitted.

As shown in FIG. 5, the joint material 13 has tongue grooves 13a and 13b extending in the longitudinal direction on the surface facing the panel 12. Joint material 13
It has a wiring space 13c extending in the longitudinal direction. The wiring space 13c is a joint material 1
Both longitudinal end surfaces of 3 are open and connected to the outside. The lower end surface is closed by being in close contact with a panel that constitutes the floor. The upper end surface communicates with the wiring space of the joint material of the panel that makes up the ceiling, and further communicates with the outside of the sauna room. One or both of the tongue grooves 13a and 13b extending in the longitudinal direction of the joint material 13, for example, the tongue groove 13a has three places (not limited to three places) at the bottom thereof to connect the wiring space 13c and the outside. Through holes 13d serving as openings are provided respectively. Each of these through holes 13d and the joint material 13
A groove 13e is provided to connect the side surface of the groove 13e to the side surface of the groove 13e. The joint material 13 at the location where wiring is not required is a groove (joint plate) having a length at least enough to close the unnecessary through hole 13d, for example, a tongue groove 13a,
It is joined to the panel 12 using a joint plate inserted over the entire length of the panel 13b.
The joint material 13 where wiring is required is located in the wiring space 1.
A joint plate 15 separated at the through hole 13d through which the wiring 14 is taken out from the panel 3c to the outside is inserted into the tongue groove 13a and joined to the panel 12. In this case, tongue groove 1
Using a joint plate inserted over the entire length of 3a, cut a hole or notch in the part of the joint plate corresponding to the through hole 13d from which the wiring 14 is taken out. This through hole 13d is provided.
You may also leave it unobstructed. The tongue groove 13b from which the wiring 14 is not taken out is joined to the panel 12 in the same manner as the area where no wiring is required.
The same applies whether the joint material 13 is a corner of the sauna room or not. When the joint material 13 is located at a corner of the sauna room and the wiring 14 is taken out into the sauna room, the through hole 13 from which the wiring 14 is taken out
It is preferable to provide holes, notches, etc. in the portions of the panels 12, 12 corresponding to the exits of the grooves 13e that connect the grooves 13e connecting the grooves 13e and the side surfaces of the joint material 13, so as to make it easier to take out the wiring 14. In the case of this embodiment, it is also possible to use a method such as a tongue-and-groove joint in which the panel 12 is provided with tongues, without using a groove plate (joint board). When using these methods, it can be performed in the same way as when using moyatoizane (joint boards). The sauna given as this other embodiment also provides the same effects as the previous embodiment. Moreover, in the case of this embodiment, there is no need to make through holes in the joint material at the assembly site, and only the necessary through holes are used, and unnecessary through holes are removed from the panel. Because it is blocked by the seam of
The wiring work can be simpler than that of the previously mentioned embodiments.

Note that the sauna according to this invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, a room may be constructed by joining panels only on the walls, only walls and floors, only walls and ceilings, or walls, floors, and ceilings, respectively. The panels may be joined in one direction only (top and bottom, left and right, front and back, etc.) on one side of the room, or they may be joined in a grid pattern. Accordingly, the wiring space of the joint material can be freely extended. The wiring space provided inside the joint material usually extends over the entire length of the joint material in the longitudinal direction, but it may extend only a part of the total length. Both ends of the joint material in the longitudinal direction are usually open, but they do not need to be open.
If at least one of the end faces is exposed to the outside, it may be covered with a lid to prevent dust, mice, etc. from entering, or a through hole may be made for the length of the wiring cord. Normally, panels are filled with heat insulating material, but if the wiring space of the joint material is also filled with heat insulating material, the deterioration of the insulation effect can be prevented. Joint materials according to this invention may be joined together. The joining of panels and the joining of panels and joint materials may be a tongue and groove joint, a tongue and groove joint, a dovetail joint, or various other tongue and groove joint structures. The shape of Yatoizane is not limited to a plate-like body either. The panels may all be joined together using joint materials, or only some of the panels may be joined together through joint materials. As for the equipment in the sauna room, in addition to installing a device to heat the air in the room, interior materials such as slats, chairs, thermometers, speakers, etc. may be installed as necessary. The device for heating indoor air may be an electric heater, a combustion type, or other device. In a combustion type heating device, it is preferable to exhaust the air outside the room, and the air may also be supplied from the outside in some cases.

The sauna according to this invention has a wiring space inside the joint material and the chamber can be constructed by joining panels, making wiring easy and making it possible to use the same size and shape of panels. This also reduces the number of man-hours required for panel assembly. Furthermore, since almost no power supply wiring or the like is exposed inside the sauna room, the chances of electric shock for sauna users are greatly reduced, which is preferable from a safety standpoint.

[Effect of idea]

As seen above, the sauna according to this invention uses at least one hollow column-shaped joint material with a wiring space inside, and the panels are joined together to form a wall, so the wiring space is filled with wiring cords. By passing the wiring through, the appearance becomes cleaner and better, the number of man-hours required to assemble the panel is reduced, and the heat resistance of the wiring is not required as much.
