Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention relates to a steam blower in which steam is blown by a fan.

[Prior Art] In a conventional steam sauna device, as shown in FIG. 8, a steam jet port 1'opened in a steam sauna chamber B.
The steam was sprayed directly from the wall surface C in the right angle direction. However, when the steam is directly ejected from the steam ejection port 1'into the steam sauna room B, there is a problem that the hot steam coming out vigorously directly hits the human body, causing discomfort and sometimes burns. .

Therefore, in order to prevent the steam jetting direction from the jet port 1 ′ from jetting at a right angle from the wall surface C and directly hitting the human body, the applicant of the present invention sets the steam jet port 1 ′ at the wall surface C.
I have applied for a Japanese Patent Application No. Sho 63-162607, which is designed to squirt out along the line. That is, as shown in FIG. 9, the steam outlet 1'opens in a direction substantially parallel to the wall surface C.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] However, when the steam is jetted along the wall surface C as described above, it is possible to prevent the steam from directly hitting the human body, but in this case, the steam mainly flows to the wall surface C side. There was a problem that steam could not be efficiently diffused throughout the entire steam sauna room B including the central part. For this reason, the applicant of the present invention considered that the steam supplied from the steam supply unit should be diffused and blown by the fan in the process of reaching the present invention. In this case, if you expose the fan directly, you may get injured by the fan, so cover the fan with a fan cover.However, by simply putting the fan in the cylindrical fan cover with the front and back opened, the fan is directly exposed to the outside. There is a problem that the steam supplied from the steam supply unit may not be sufficiently diffused by being directly blown out by the fan if it is not exposed, and hot steam may hit the body and cause burns. It was devised in view of the problems, and the purpose was to efficiently diffuse the steam, and at the same time, the high temperature steam from the steam spout could be agitated and mixed with air and blown out. It is an object of the present invention to provide a steam blower that does not cause burns even if steam hits the human body directly.
