Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To simplify the structure of a mist sauna device, keep the temperature within a bathroom regularly constant, and improve the convenience by spraying mist of hot water into the bathroom, and detecting the bathroom internal temperature to control the start or stop of ventilation within the bathroom. SOLUTION: In this mist sauna device 1, a mist generation unit 2 is connected to a branch metal fitting 5 mounted on a feed pipe 10 and hot water feed pipe 11 connected to mixing valves for water combination faucet 4 within a bathroom (a) through a hot water passage 3, and driven by a remote controller 8. A ventilating function part 6 for exhausting high humidity high temperature air in the bathroom (a) is arranged on the ceiling part of the bathroom (a), and its operation is controlled by a control part on the basis of the detection signal from a room temperature detecting sensor for detecting the temperature within the bathroom (a). When the detection temperature within the bathroom (a) exceeds a set temperature during the drive of the mist generation unit 2, the operation of the ventilating function part 6 is started by the control part to exhaust the air in the bathroom (a) through an exhaust duct 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mist sauna device provided with a mist generating unit for spraying mist of hot water into a bathroom and controlling the temperature in the bathroom to a constant temperature.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a conventional mist sauna apparatus, there has been known a mist sauna apparatus in which high-temperature hot water is sprayed in a mist form from a nozzle or the like to make a bathroom humid and high-temperature.

In this apparatus, when the room temperature in the bathroom rises above the set temperature in the bathroom, the operation of the mist sauna device is turned on and off to suppress the rise in room temperature.

[0004]

However, in the above-described configuration, the temperature in the bathroom cannot be quickly made constant, and the mist spray is stopped, so that the humidity drops rapidly. It was inconvenient for the user.

To solve this problem, Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 10-24084 discloses a method in which a flow control valve is provided in a path branched from a supply path to a nozzle, and when the room temperature is lowered, the opening of the flow control valve is reduced. And drain the hot water in the branch route.

However, such a configuration has a problem that a new branch path is required and the structure becomes complicated.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mist sauna apparatus which does not require complicated piping work and is easy to use.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a mist generating unit provided in a bathroom for spraying mist of hot water, a ventilation function unit for ventilating air in the bathroom, and a temperature in the bathroom. And a control unit that controls the operation of the ventilation function unit to start or stop according to an input signal from the room temperature detection unit.

With this configuration, when the temperature in the bathroom exceeds a predetermined temperature, the humid and high-temperature air in the bathroom is discharged out of the bathroom. Stop discharging air from outside the bathroom,
The temperature in the bathroom can be quickly maintained at a constant temperature, and no complicated plumbing work is required, and if an existing ventilation fan is used, a more inexpensive mist sauna device can be provided.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view of a mist sauna device of the present invention installed in a bathroom.

As shown in FIG. 1, a mist generating unit 2 is installed above the side wall of the bathroom a so as to spray mist of hot water from the side wall of the bathroom a.

The mist sauna apparatus 1 has a mechanism for adjusting the temperature of hot water to a set temperature (about 60 ° C.) in a water supply pipe 10 and a hot water supply pipe 11 connected to a hot water mixing tap 4 installed in a bathroom a. A water supply channel 4 connected to the branch metal fitting 5, a mist generating unit 2 connected to the water supply channel 4, and a ventilation function unit 6 for exhausting humid and high temperature air in the bathroom a. And a bathroom a provided at an appropriate place in the bathroom a
A room temperature detection sensor (not shown) for detecting the temperature inside,
The control unit includes a control unit (not shown) that controls the operation of the ventilation function unit 6 using the room temperature detection sensor, and a remote controller 8 that drives the mist generation unit 2. Reference numeral 7 denotes an exhaust duct connected to the ventilation function unit 6, and reference numeral 9 denotes an illuminator built in the mist generation unit 2.

In the above configuration, when the temperature in the bathroom a exceeds a predetermined temperature (for example, about 1 ° C.) above the set temperature (for example, about 40 ° C.) by the room temperature detection sensor while driving the mist generating unit 2. Then, the control unit issues a command to start the operation of the ventilation function unit 6.

The ventilation function unit 6 starts operation according to a command from the control unit, and discharges the humid and high-temperature air in the bathroom a from the exhaust duct 7 to the outside of the bathroom a.

Then, the temperature in the bathroom a decreases and the bathroom a
When the internal temperature falls below a set temperature (for example, about 40 ° C.) by a predetermined temperature (for example, about 1 ° C.), the control unit inputs a signal from the room temperature detection sensor and issues a command to the ventilation function unit 6,
The operation of the ventilation function unit 6 is stopped.

Therefore, the temperature in the bathroom a is maintained at a constant temperature, and the user can comfortably enjoy the mist sauna feeling.

The above description relates only to one embodiment of the present invention, and does not mean that the present invention is limited to only the above content.
