On the other hand, the heating means 12 is electrically connected to the heating opening / closing means 30 and the heating air blowing means 27, and the exhaust means 14 is ventilated. It is electrically connected to the air blowing means 31 and transmits an operation control instruction to each.

  The hot water fed from the water heater 8 as a heat source to the sauna device 3 through the circulating hot water circuit outgoing pipe 9 passes through the circulating hot water circuit inlet connection portion 23 and then is branched into two at the hot water circulation outgoing route branching section 35. It is guided to the circulating hot water circuit 20 provided in the humidifying means 11 and enters the heat exchanger 37 through the humidifying hot water circulating circuit control valve 32. The water which has exchanged heat with the city water supplied by the water supply means 18 in the heat exchanger 37 again passes through the circulating hot water circuit 20 and joins in the hot water circulation return branch section 36. The other branched by the hot water circulation circuit forward branching section 35 enters the circulating hot water circuit 20 of the heating means 12 and is led to the heating hot water coil 26 through the heating opening / closing means 30, and is supplied to the heating means 12 by the heating air blowing means 27. Heat is exchanged with the heated air in the sauna target room 1 by the heating hot water coil 26, and again enters the circulating hot water circuit 20 and is returned to the hot water circulation return path branching portion 36 from the humidifying means 11 or joins with the circulating hot water circuit. It passes through the outlet connection part 38 and returns to the water heater 8 through the circulating hot water circuit return pipe 10.

  The water supply means 18 is connected to the water supply pipe 6 through a water supply connection port 39, and city water is guided to the water supply means 18 through the water supply pipe 6, and the water supply means 18 is water supply stoppage, water flow, and flow rate adjustment. A water supply control valve 33 that controls the water is supplied, and city water with a stable flow rate is sent to the heat exchanger 37 through the water supply control valve 33, and heat exchange with the hot water from the water heater 8 is performed in the heat exchanger 37. It is guided to the injection means 24 which is a component of the water crushing means 16. The ejection means 24 is constituted by a nozzle, and the hot water ejected by the nozzle collides with a collision plate which is the collision means 25. For this reason, when the water droplet injected by the nozzle collides with the collision plate, it becomes a smaller water droplet, and the air in the sauna target chamber 1 fed by the humidifying air blowing means 15 is heated and humidified. On the other hand, large water droplets that do not get on the supplied air are collected by gravity and guided to a drainage channel that is a component of the drainage means 19. The heated humidified air that has passed through the water crushing means 16 passes through a gas-liquid separation means 17 that separates large water droplets and fine water droplets. The gas-liquid separation means 17 is constituted by a gas-liquid separation hot water coil 40, and the shape of the plurality of fins through which the air of the gas-liquid separation hot water coil 40 passes is preferably uneven or cut and raised. The fins are arranged in the vertical direction, and the heated humidified air that passes between the fins will meander when it passes through the irregularities or cut-and-raised shape of the fins. Therefore, a large water droplet of heated humidified air adheres to the surface of the fin due to this collision, and it flows down along the fin and is collected. The recovered water or warm water is the drainage means 19, which flows from the lower side of the fan 43 to the lower side of the gas-liquid separation hot water coil 40 and flows down to a drainage channel formed in a downward slope, and is recovered by the previous water crushing means 16. Alternatively, the hot water is discharged from the drain port 45 to the outside of the sauna device 3.

  Heated humidified air blown from the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 29 provided in the sauna apparatus 3 installed in the ceiling space 2 of the sauna target room 1 is heated near the air outlet and has a high humidity component. The humidified air diffuses into the sauna target room 1. Since the user who takes a bath usually takes a bath in a sitting position, the heated humidified air is not directly applied to the high-temperature and high-humidity air blown out from the first blow-out port 22 and the second blow-out port 29, and the heated humidified air is not subject to the sauna. As a result, the user receives a uniform temperature and humidity, and the sauna target room 1 becomes a very uniform space in terms of the experience.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the heating means 12, the humidifying means 11, and the air blowing means are installed in the ceiling space 2 so that the user in the sauna target room 1 is directly exposed to high temperature and high humidity. It is difficult for blown air to hit, and a uniform humidity space can be created in the sauna target room 1.

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, the humidification means 12, the heating means 11, and the ventilation means are united and stored in a box, The construction of a sauna apparatus becomes easy and a water circuit concentrates on one place. This makes it easier to take measures against water leakage from the device.

  Next, the detailed structure of the humidification means 11 is shown using FIG. 4 and FIG.

  The humidifying means 11 includes a water crushing means 16, a gas-liquid separating means 17, a water supply means 18, a circulating hot water circuit 20 as a hot water circulating means, a draining means 19, and a humidifying air blowing means 15. . The humidifying means 11 includes a water crushing means 16 on one side, an air flow passage 44 interposed therebetween, and a gas-liquid separation means 17 on the other side. The water crushing means 16, the air flow passage 44, And the gas-liquid separation means 17 is arrange | positioned so that it may become a horizontally long shape as a whole.

  As shown in FIG. 10 of the prior art, since there is an upper limit to the amount of air inflow from the air suction port 102 by the fan unit 109, it is necessary to increase the area of the thin plate 107 of the heat exchange promoting member 109. In other words, the cheapest and most efficient shape that can increase the contact area of the air flow from the air suction port 102 and the hot water from the hot water injection port 104, that is, the contact time of the air flow and hot water, is the height of the hot water. It is to make it a vertically long shape that takes a long contact time with the airflow that flows down along the thin plate 107 in the direction. However, in such a configuration, installation in a place where the height direction is restricted (for example, installation on the back of the ceiling) is difficult, so the configuration of the humidifying means 11 of the present invention is the height direction of the sauna device. This is effective because it can be downsized.

  The water crushing means 16 includes an injection means 24 and a collision means 25. A water supply means 18 for supplying water having a pressure or hot water is connected to a nozzle which is the injection means 24, and the water or hot water having a pressure collides from the nozzle. It is injected toward the collision plate which is means 25. The nozzle is preferably a type in which the sprayed water spreads over a wide angle, and the water film spread over a wide angle collides with a wide area of the collision plate.

  The humidifying air blowing means 15 includes a humidifying air blowing motor 42 and a fan 43 connected to the shaft of the humidifying air blowing motor 42, and the fan 43 includes a centrifugal fan such as a sirocco fan. The humidifying air blowing means 15 is provided in the upper portion, the humidifying air blowing motor 42 is provided with a rotating shaft in the vertical direction, and the fan 43 is provided vertically downward relative to the humidifying air blowing motor 42, The electric motor 42 is provided with a suction port at the bottom. When the humidifying blower motor 42 is driven, the fan 43 rotates, and air is sucked from the upper portion of the fan 43, that is, the gap between the humidifying blower motor 42 and the fan 43, and blown out in the centrifugal direction of the fan 43.

  On the other hand, the collision means 25 is composed of a fan 43 that has both a function of making water or warm water collide to make fine water droplets and a blowing function, and moves itself. Since the water or hot water sprayed from the nozzle which is the jetting means 24 collides with the fan 43 rotating by the humidifying blower motor 42, at this time, water or hot water that has been refined to some extent by the jet from the nozzle is further used by the rotating body. By colliding with a certain fan 43, fine water droplets are formed. When the pressure of water or hot water supplied to the nozzle uses tap water pressure, if water droplets are refined only by the nozzle, it is directly affected by tap water pressure. By causing the water to collide with the fan 43, the influence of water pressure can be reduced, and fine water droplets can always be produced. Thus, since the fan 43 combines the functions of the humidifying air blowing means 15 and the collision means 25, the water crushing means 16 can be configured with good cost performance and effectively utilizing the space. Further, since the humidifying air blowing means 15 and the collision means 25 are integrated with each other, the fine water droplets and the flow of wind are very well mixed, and even the small water crushing means 16 has a very high humidifying ability.

  Although the injection means 24 of this embodiment is injected from the outer periphery of the fan 43 and collides, the injection means 24 may be installed at the suction port of the fan 43 and injected from the suction side of the fan 43.

  Some of the water or hot water that collided with the fan 43 is mixed with the air flow and sent to the gas-liquid separation means 17 as humidified air, while others drop from the fan 43 or the surrounding wall surface and accumulate at the bottom of the fan 43. Since the humidifying blower motor 42 is attached to the upper part, there is no possibility that the water or hot water accumulated in the lower part of the fan 43 will drop or enter, and the fan 43 is attached with the suction port facing upward. The water collected in the lower part of the fan 43 is negatively pressured by the rotation of the fan 43, so that no water or hot water stays under the fan 43.

  The heated humidified air generated from the water crushing means 16 is guided to the gas-liquid separation means 17 by the humidifying air blowing means 15. The gas-liquid separation means 17 is constituted by a gas-liquid separation hot water coil 40, and the shape of the plurality of fins through which the air of the gas-liquid separation hot water coil 40 passes is preferably uneven or cut and raised. The fins are arranged in the vertical direction, and the heated humidified air that passes between the fins will meander when it passes through the irregularities or cut-and-raised shape of the fins. Therefore, a large water droplet of heated humidified air adheres to the surface of the fin due to this collision, and it flows down along the fin and is collected.

  Thus, the heated humidified air that has passed through the gas-liquid separating means 17 becomes humidified air containing only fine water droplets of 5 μm or less, and is blown into the sauna target chamber 1 from the first outlet 22. The heated and humidified air blown into the sauna target room 1 is only fine water droplets of 5 μm or less, so that it has a very good diffusivity and makes the sauna target room 1 a uniform temperature and humidity space. Moreover, since the inside of the sauna target room 1 is high-temperature and high-humidity but has a small diameter of water droplets, it becomes a clear space. For this reason, the user in the sauna target room 1 can experience a comfortable sauna space by reducing the user's perception of water droplets that cling to the skin. In addition, the user can view the bathroom TV or read a book when taking a bath in the sauna.

  The water crushing means 16 and the gas-liquid separating means 17 are positioned substantially horizontally with respect to the height direction, and the gas-liquid separating section 17 and the first air outlet 22 are also positioned substantially horizontally. The first air outlet 22 from the water crushing means 16 is communicated with the air flow passage 44 through the gas-liquid separation means 17, and the air flow is a humidifying air blowing means 15 and a fan that is also a component of the water crushing means 16. 43, the fan 43 blows out heated humidified air in the centrifugal direction of the fan, that is, in the horizontal direction, and the heated humidified air moves horizontally in the air flow passage 44 and has a fin arranged in the vertical direction. 17 is passed horizontally through the gas-liquid separating hot water coil 40, and is guided vertically upward by the liquid entrainment prevention means 46 having an opening higher than the upper end of the drainage port 45. It blows off vertically downward toward the first air outlet 22 provided in the lower part and leading to the ceiling opening 5 of the sauna target room 1.

  The liquid entrainment prevention means 46 is formed by a partition wall formed so as to extend to a position vertically higher than the upper end of the opening of the drainage port 45 in the ventilation path from the gas-liquid separation means 17 to the first air outlet 22. The air flow which is configured and wipes the water droplets sent toward the first air outlet 22 by the fan 43 is once lifted higher than the drainage port 45 and crosses the partition wall. Head down vertically downward. Water droplets that are separated from the air flow when crossing the partition wall and adhere to the side surfaces of the partition wall flow downward through the partition wall and are drained from the drain port 45. In this way, the relatively large water droplets do not travel to the first air outlet 22, thereby preventing the relatively large water droplets from being sprayed by the user.

  On the other hand, the water supply means 18 guides water to the injection means 24 through the heat exchanger 37, and the heat exchanger 37 exchanges heat of water and hot water, and circulates supplying hot water from the water heater 8. The hot water connected to the hot water circuit 20 and supplied from the circulating hot water circuit 20 passes through the heat exchanger 37, then enters the hot water coil 40 for gas-liquid separation, and returns to the water heater 8 again. The water supplied into the flow path of the means 18 takes heat by passing through the heat exchanger 37, and becomes hot water and is injected from the injection means 24. The jetted hot water is partly taken away by the water crushing means 16 as heated humidified air, while others flow down along the wall surface formed around the fan 43 or fall in the space to fall below the fan 43. To be recovered.

  The drainage channel as the drainage unit 19 is connected to the drainage port 45 through the gas-liquid separation unit 17 along the airflow passage 44 from below the water crushing unit 16 and is configured substantially horizontally. Between the crushing means 16 and the gas-liquid separation means 17 is a downward slope toward the gas-liquid separation means 17, and between the gas-liquid separation means 17 and the drain port 45 is also a downward slope toward the drain port 45. For this reason, the water or hot water collected by the water crushing means 16 and the gas-liquid separation means 17 is guided to the drain port 45 along a downward gradient.

  On the other hand, the drainage means 19 has a structure in which both the air flow passage 44 and the space are provided. Therefore, the drainage means 19 in which the heated or humidified air passes through the air flow passage 44 located at the upper portion and the recovered water or hot water is located at the lower portion. In the portion where the air flow passage 44 and the drainage passage of the drainage means 19 are in contact with each other, large droplets of humidified heated air flowing in the airflow passage 44 are collected by the drainage means 19 along the flow. The humidified heated air moving in the air flow passage 44 contains only finer water droplets. The heated and humidified air that has passed through the gas-liquid separation means 17 is once turned upward by the liquid entrainment prevention means 46 and flows, so that water or hot water flowing through the drainage means 19 is sprayed when blown from the first outlet 22. In addition, the water or hot water flowing through the drainage means 19 flows smoothly to the drainage port 45.

  The heated and humidified air that has passed through the liquid entrainment prevention means 46 is blown out from the first air outlet 22 located below the drain outlet 45 in the vertically downward direction. Therefore, the drainage port 45 is positioned higher than the first air outlet 22, while the first air outlet 22 is at the same position as the opening 4 of the sauna device 3, and the opening 4 is the sauna target room 1. Therefore, the height of the drainage port 45 is higher than the ceiling surface of the sauna target room 1. Water or hot water distributed from the drainage port 45 is guided downward from the edge of the sauna target room 1 and drains into a drain pan that penetrates the wall surface of the sauna target room 1 and is located under the bathtub. Since 45 is surely higher than the ceiling surface of the sauna target room 1, it is possible to ensure a drainage route that always maintains a downward slope after the drainage port 45.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the drainage means 19 includes a lower part of the flow path from the lower side of the fan 43 to the gas-liquid separation means 17 and has a downward slope toward the drainage port 45. Near the lowermost part in the vertical direction, a water level detection means 49 for detecting the amount of water or warm water flowing through the drainage means 19 is provided. When the amount of water or warm water supplied from the water supply means 18 is larger than the amount of water flowing from the drain outlet 45 or hot water, or when drainage is not performed due to poor piping construction after the drain outlet 45, water is supplied to the drain means 19 Will accumulate. When a certain amount or more of water or hot water is accumulated in the draining means 19, the water level detecting means 49 detects an abnormal water level and sends a signal to the electrically connected control means 13, and the control means 13 supplies water to the water supply control valve 33. By sending a signal to stop, the water supply control valve 33 is closed, and water or hot water is not supplied from the water supply means 18. Therefore, even when an abnormality occurs due to drainage, the sauna apparatus 3 will not overflow.

  The sauna device of the present embodiment can solve the following problems. In the conventional sauna apparatus shown in FIG. 10, the hot water is jetted from the hot water outlet 104 onto the heat exchange promoting member 108. Therefore, when the sauna apparatus is stopped, the heat exchange promoting member 108 and the jet pipe 104 are used. A large amount of water droplets adhere to the surface. In such a state where a large amount of water droplets are attached, mold and fungi are likely to propagate in the apparatus and in the bathroom, which is unfavorable for hygiene.

  When the water supply means 18 does not supply water or hot water to the jetting means 24 and the humidifying blower means 15 is driven and hot water is supplied to the circulating hot water circuit 20, the hot water coil for gas-liquid separation becomes a radiator and the inside of the sauna apparatus 3 By allowing warm air to flow through the air flow passage 44, the condensed air flow passage 44 is dried, and since the warm air is blown out from the first air outlet 22, the sauna target chamber 1 is also dried. This makes it possible to suppress the growth of fungi and mold.

  Further, when the heating element 47 is provided on the suction port side of the humidifying air blowing means 15, that is, before being guided to the water crushing means 16, the air sent to the water crushing means 16 by the humidifying air blowing means 15 is heated. 47 is heated. When the heated air enters the water crushing means 16, the amount of saturated water vapor in the air inside the water crushing means 16 increases, that is, the amount of humidification can be increased, and further the temperature of the heating element 47 is adjusted. Thus, the humidification amount can be changed. Further, the inside of the humidifying means 11 can be dried by driving the humidifying air blowing motor 42 in a state where the water supply from the water supplying means 18 is stopped.

  In addition, it goes without saying that the amount of humidification changes by changing the amount of water supplied from the water supply means 18 or the water temperature, and further, the amount of humidification can be adjusted by changing the number of revolutions of the motor 42 for humidifying air blowing. Needless to say.

  As described above, according to this embodiment, the water crushing means 16 is provided on one side, the air flow passage 44 is interposed therebetween, the gas-liquid separation means 17 is provided on the other side, and the humidifying means 11 is configured. The water crushing means 16, the air flow passage 44, and the gas-liquid separation means 17 are arranged so as to have a horizontally long shape as a whole, so that in the humidified portion that conventionally required the height direction, Since the humidifying means 11 which does not take a dimension can be comprised, that is, it becomes the sauna apparatus 3 with a small dimension of the height direction, the sauna apparatus 3 can be installed in the ceiling back space 2 of the sauna object room 1.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the water crushing means 16 includes the injection means 24 for injecting water or hot water and the collision means 25 for causing the water or hot water injected by the injection means 24 to collide and move itself. Thus, in addition to the injection energy of the injection unit 24 and the collision energy of the collision unit 25, the kinetic energy of the collision unit 25 itself is added to increase the energy for finely crushing water or hot water. The part can be miniaturized.

  Further, since the water or warm water supplied by the moving collision means 25 is structured to be fine, even a small amount of water or warm water becomes humidified air over a wide range and efficiently humidifies the supplied water amount or the supplied hot water amount. It becomes. As a result, there is little water loss, and when hot water is used, there is little heat loss, that is, a highly efficient humidifier with little gas usage or electricity usage.

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, since it was set as the structure which arrange | positions the water crushing means 16 and the gas-liquid separation means 17 in a line in the horizontal direction, when air and a liquid flow in a horizontal direction, The height direction can be lowered.

  Moreover, according to this Embodiment, since the collision means 25 is comprised with the fan 43 which crushes water or warm water into a water droplet, and blows the said water droplet, the collision means 25 serves as a ventilation means and the water crushing means 16 together. In addition, a small and inexpensive humidifying means can be configured.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the fan 43 is configured to be sucked from vertically above, so that the water collected by the water crushing means 16 is reliably guided to the drain port 45 without staying on the lower surface of the water crushing means 16. be able to.

  Further, according to the present embodiment, the drainage port 45 that communicates with the gas-liquid separation unit 17 and discharges the water separated by the gas-liquid separation unit 17 is provided, and the passage from the gas-liquid separation unit 17 to the drainage port 45 is provided. Since the water level detection means 34 is provided in the water level detection means 34, the water level detection means 34 does not overflow from the sauna apparatus 3 even when the recovered water is not drained due to poor drainage.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the partition wall extending vertically higher than the upper end of the opening of the drainage port 45 is formed in the ventilation path from the gas-liquid separation means 17 to the first air outlet 22. Only fine water droplets are blown out from the air outlet of the sauna device 3, and it is possible to prevent large water droplets from being applied to the user in the sauna target room 1.

  Next, the detailed structure of another humidification means is shown using FIG. Only the configuration different from the humidifying means shown in FIG. 5 will be described in detail.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the drainage means 19 is inclined downward from the water crushing means 16 to the gas-liquid separation means 17 toward the gas-liquid separation means 17, and between the gas-liquid separation means 17 and the water storage section 50 is also a water storage section. It is descending toward 50. For this reason, the water or hot water recovered from the water crushing means 16 and the gas-liquid separation means 17 is guided to the water storage section 50. The water storage section 50 is provided with a drain pump 51 as a forced drain means, and the discharge section of the drain pump 51 is connected to the drain port 45. When water or hot water supplied from the water supply means 18 to the water crushing means 16 and water or hot water that has not been used for humidification accumulates in the water storage section 50, the water level detection means 49 detects the water level and drives the drain pump 51 to enter the water storage section 50. The accumulated water or warm water is forcibly drained from the drain port 45.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, water or hot water is forcibly drained regardless of the position of the drain port 45, and therefore, when the drain pipe of the sauna device 3 is constructed, Construction is possible even if the downgraded slope cannot be obtained due to the provided ducts, water distribution pipes, electrical wiring, and the like.

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, the discharge side of the drainage pump 51 provided on the downstream side with respect to the gas-liquid separation means 17 is the drainage port 45, so forced drainage is possible even at construction sites where the drainage head cannot be taken. It can be carried out.

  Next, the internal structure of the sauna apparatus 3 is shown using FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and FIG.

  The sauna device 3 is connected to the circulating hot water circuit forward pipe 9 of the hot water heater 8 by the circulating hot water circuit inlet connection part 23, and is connected by the circulating hot water circuit return pipe 10 and the circulating hot water circuit outlet connection part 38. When the humidifying means 11 and the heating means 12 are housed in the box 41, the inlet and outlet of the circulating hot water circuit 20 of the humidifying means 11 and the inlet and outlet of the circulating hot water circuit 20 of the heating means 12 are in the vicinity of the drain port 45. When connected to each other at the hot water circulation forward branching section 35 and the hot water circulation return branching section 36, and when the exhaust means 14 is located in front of the sauna apparatus 3 when viewed from the sauna target room 1, the circulation hot water circuit inlet connection is made on the left side of the sauna apparatus 3. It becomes the structure provided with the part 23 and the circulating hot water circuit exit connection part 38. FIG.

  The water supply means 18 for supplying water or hot water to the humidifying means 11 is provided with a water supply connection port 39 on the left side surface of the sauna apparatus 3 when the sauna means 3 is viewed from the sauna target room 1 and the exhaust means 14 is in front.

  The ceiling opening 5 of the sauna target room 1 has a sufficiently large area with respect to the area of the opening 4 of the sauna device 3 and the frame collar 52 which is the box 41 of the sauna device 3. The drainage port 45, the circulating hot water circuit inlet connection portion 23, and the circulating hot water circuit outlet connection portion 38 are provided on the side of the body of the sauna device 3, and when viewed from the direction of the opening 4, they are hidden by the frame collar 52 and cannot be seen. It is provided inside the collar 52. Since each of the connection ports is connected with a water supply pipe 6, a drain pipe 7, a circulating hot water circuit forward pipe 9, and a circulating hot water circuit return pipe 10, each of the connection ports is located inside as viewed in the vertical direction from the ceiling opening 5. Will be. In the unlikely event that water leaks from the connection port, all water drops will drop into the sauna target room 1 through the ceiling opening 5, so that there is no water leaking into the ceiling space 2 and the user is leaking water. Therefore, it is possible to prevent expansion damage caused by water leakage at the device connection portion.

  The sauna apparatus 3 includes a control means 13, a humidifying means 11, and a heating means 12 in one box body 41. The humidifying means 11 and the heating means 12 are connected to the circulating hot water circuit inlet connection 23 and the circulating hot water. The control means 13 is connected to the humidifying means 11 and the heating means 12 through signal lines (not shown).

  The inlet side connection part 53 provided in the circulating hot water circuit inlet connection part 23 of the heating means 12 and the outlet side connection part 54 provided in the circulating hot water circuit outlet connection part 38 are shifted toward the opening 4 of the sauna device 3. If the signal line (not shown) that is connected to the control means 13 is removed, the opening 4 is smaller than the opening 4 formed in the lower part of the box 41 of the sauna device 3, that is, the area of the opening 4. The heating means 12 having a smaller projected cross-sectional area can be taken out from the opening 4 to the sauna target room 1.

  Subsequently, the humidifying means 11 removes the water supply connection port 39 which is a connection portion with the water supply pipe 6 and the drain pipe 7 in the reverse order of the installation order, and a signal line (not shown) connected to the control means 13. ) Is removed, the humidifying means 11 having a smaller cross-sectional area of the opening 4 of the sauna device 3, that is, having a smaller projected cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of the ceiling opening 5, is removed from the opening 4 to the sauna target room 1. be able to.

  The control means 13 has a signal line (not shown) between the humidifying means 11 and the heating means 12 removed, and is smaller than the opening 4, that is, has a smaller projected cross-sectional area than the area of the opening 4. Can be removed from the opening 4 to the sauna target room 1. Thus, the humidifying means 11, the heating means 12, or the control means 13 removed from the box 41 can easily perform parts replacement and maintenance work.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the water supply connection port 39 from the sauna target chamber 1 of the water supply means 18, the drainage outlet 45 for discharging the water inside the sauna device 3 to the outside, and the water supply means 18 are supplied.
