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) It has been considered that this type of sauna bath can also be used as a dryer for clothes and the like. FIG. 2 shows the conventional structure of the bath room, which consists of a room main body 1 assembled in the shape of a box, which is equipped with a door for opening and closing the entrance/exit. Inside the chamber body 1, a chair on which a bather sits, a heater, etc. are installed. These configurations are not particularly different from normal sauna baths.

When a sauna bath having such a configuration is used as a clothes dryer, a part of the ceiling 2 of the room body 1 is opened, and a dehumidifier 3 such as a heat pump is installed above it. That is, 4 is a heat exchanger attached to the partition plate 5, 6 is a compressor, and 7 is a fan, and the dehumidifier 3 is constituted by these. 8 is a cover, 9 is a bottom plate that covers the cover 8, and in the space surrounded by the cover 8 and the bottom plate 9,
Each of the dehumidifier components described above is arranged.

When using it as a dryer, the chamber main body 1
A suction port 10 provided in the bottom plate 9 removes the moist air inside the
After drying it in a heat exchanger 4, it is sent into the chamber body 1 by a fan 7 through an outlet 11 also provided on the bottom plate 9.

By the way, in the conventional configuration shown in FIG. 2, the dehumidifier 3
All of the constituent devices, such as the heat exchanger 4, compressor 6, and fan 7, are attached to and supported on the upper surface of the bottom plate 9. Therefore, even if an attempt is made to look inside the cover 8 during maintenance or failure of the components of the dehumidifier 3, the bottom plate 9 gets in the way and cannot be seen.

In that case, it is sufficient if the structure allows the worker to reach the top of the chamber body 1, but this is not possible if the chamber body 1 is fixedly installed adjacent to the bathroom of an apartment. . In such a case, it is necessary to pull down the cover 8 and the bottom plate 9 together from the ceiling 2 into the interior of the chamber body 1.

However, these devices are heavy, and the drains, pipes, wiring, etc. connected to each device may have to be properly disposed of before they can be withdrawn, and such work is extremely troublesome. be.

(Problems to be solved by the invention) This invention facilitates the maintenance and inspection of the various devices that make up the dehumidifier installed in the upper part of the sauna bath that doubles as a dryer. The purpose is to

(Means for solving the problem) This idea includes a bottom plate and a cover that covers the top of the room body, and dehumidifiers such as heat exchangers, compressors, fans, etc. placed in the space surrounded by these. The sauna bath is characterized in that the dehumidifier component is attached to the inner surface of the cover, and the bottom plate can be opened and closed.

(Example) An example of this invention will be described with reference to FIG.
Note that parts given the same reference numerals as in FIG. 2 indicate the same or corresponding parts. According to this idea, the dehumidifier components such as the heat exchanger 4, the compressor 6, and the fan 7 are attached and supported on the inner surface of the cover 8, respectively.

Specifically, the partition plate 5 supporting the heat exchanger 4 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper wall 12 of the cover 8, the support frame 13 of the compressor 6 is also fixed to the inner surface of the upper wall 12, and the fan 7 is fixed to the inner surface of the upper wall 12. It is fixed to the inner surface of the side wall 14 of the cover 8.

Also, attach the bottom plate 9 to the lower edge of one side of the cover 8 with a hinge 15.
The cover 8 is supported by a cover 8 and can be opened and closed. The bottom plate 9 is removably fixed to the other lower edge of the cover 8 with screws 16 or the like.

In the above configuration, when it is necessary to inspect the dehumidifier 3, the bottom plate 9 can be opened as shown by the chain line by loosening the screws 16. Since no dehumidifier components are attached to the bottom plate 9, it can be opened, and the interior of the cover 8 can be easily seen through this opening.

Therefore, maintenance and inspection of each device becomes extremely easy. As with the configuration shown in Figure 2, there is no need to pull down the entire dehumidifier, and
Each device does not move, so drains, pipes,
There is no need to process wiring etc. in advance.

(Effects of the invention) As detailed above, according to this invention, when a sauna bath is also used as a dryer, even if the dehumidifier used for that purpose is installed at the top of the room main body,
The effect is that the maintenance and inspection can be carried out without any trouble.
