Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (1) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a simple home sauna bath for use at home.

(2) Conventional technology A home sauna bath traditionally used at home has a rectangular parallelepiped case with a door in front, a wooden seat in the lower part of the case, and a heat generating device such as an electric heater inside. It is generally known that a housing is installed to heat and maintain the inside of the housing at an appropriate temperature.

(3) Problems that the invention aims to solve According to this conventional sauna bath, the heating element is installed in an exposed state inside the seat, so direct heat can cause burns on the bathers' feet, which is dangerous. It had the following problems.

The purpose of the present invention is to solve these problems, improve the bathing environment, and provide an inexpensive sauna bath.

(4) Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a glass board with the front facing forward in the space below the seat in the lower part of the approximately rectangular parallelepiped-shaped housing made of wood. , characterized in that a heating element is attached to the back surface of the glass plate.

(5) Effect The radiant heat from the heating element is once stored in the air inside the glass of the glass plate, and then is indirectly radiated from the entire front surface of the glass plate.This heat radiation is performed slowly and the glass plate acts as a high heat shield. It acts as a board, thus allowing the bather to take a safe and comfortable bath without causing burns to his or her feet.

(6) Examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a substantially rectangular parallelepiped-shaped case made of a wooden material such as natural cypress or natural cedar, and the interior thereof forms a space of substantially the same shape. The opening/closing door 2 has a hinge 2 at the opening.
It is attached by a and 2a. Also, the opening/closing door 2
A glass window 2b is provided at the upper part of the holder, and a handle 2c is provided at the central end. Reference numeral 3 denotes a flat plate-shaped seat made of natural cypress, natural cedar, etc., which is provided in the lower part of the interior of the housing 1, and has a gap t between it and the rear surface. Reference numeral 5 indicates a shirasu board, and the shirasu board 5 is formed into a flat plate by mixing cement, shirasu (volcanic ash), glass fiber (fiber reinforcing material), and water, and fills the space below the seat 3. The upper end is located diagonally to the rear. A heating element 4 consisting of a far-infrared heater is mounted on the back side of the shirasu plate 5 using a fitting 9.
Attached via.

Reference numeral 6 indicates an aluminum foil extending behind the far-infrared heater 4, 7 indicates a control panel consisting of an internal temperature control device, a safety device, an indicator light, a switch, etc., and 8 indicates wiring.

In the sauna bath configured as described above, when the far-infrared heater 4 is energized by operating the control panel 7, heat is radiated from the far-infrared heater 4. However, since there is a whitebait plate 5 diagonally in front of the heater 4 and the main component of the whitebait plate 5 is whitebait with air inside, the heat from the heater 4 is
The air in the whitebait of the whitebait plate 5 is warmed and once the heat is stored, it is radiated gently from the entire front surface of the whitebait plate 5, and the whitebait plate 5 acts as a high heat shielding plate, so that the radiant heat from the heater 4 is transmitted to the bather. Since the foot does not directly hit the foot, the foot is safe without being burned, and the temperature around the foot is kept at a comfortable temperature. Here, the amount of heat dissipated from the glass plate 5 is reduced to 50% or less.

Furthermore, the radiant heat from the heater 4 is reflected by the aluminum foil 6 behind it, rises from the rear gap t of the seat 3 as shown in the arrow as shown in FIG. The temperature at part A is 60℃.
Place B in the middle part is 70℃, and place C in the lower part is 80℃.
℃ temperature distribution allows you to enjoy a comfortable sauna bath, and since the front surface 1a of the housing 1 is sloped and the upper internal volume is small, the temperature rises quickly and you can take a bath in about 20 minutes. This makes it possible, and also saves heating power.

Furthermore, since the opening/closing door 2 is installed at an angle, it can be reliably closed by its own weight, and it can be easily accessed and exited.

In addition, since the housing 1 is made of wood, it has good heat retention and is rich in fragrance, so it is safe even if it comes into direct contact with the skin, and even children can enjoy it. In addition, since the whitebait plate 5 has a deodorizing effect, there is almost no occurrence of abnormal odor inside the housing 1 even after long-term use.

(7) Effect of the invention As described above, according to the sauna bath of the invention, a shirasu board with the front facing forward is provided in the space below the seat in the lower part of the housing, and a heating element is mounted on the back of the shirasu board. The radiant heat from the heating element is temporarily stored in the glass plate and then radiated indirectly from the front surface of the glass plate, so that this heat radiation is gradual and the glass plate is a high-temperature shielding plate. Thus, it has the effect of allowing bathers to have a safe and comfortable bath without causing burns to their feet.
