(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is an overall system configuration diagram of an oxygen mist bath apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The hot water heater 10 includes a burner 12 that heats the heat exchanger 11, a burner fan 13 that sends combustion air to the burner 12, and an exhaust port 14 that discharges the combustion air.

  On the other hand, the oxygen enricher 15 is composed of an oxygen enriched film 16, a vacuum pump 17, and a blower fan 18 that sends fresh air. The oxygen enriched air produced by the oxygen enricher 15 is a tube. In 19, it is transported to the bathroom 20 and ejected from the oxygen nozzle 21. Water in the water supply path 22 is heated by the heat exchanger 11 to become hot water, and is discharged from the shower head 24, the currant 25, and the mist nozzle 26 through the hot water supply path 23.

  About the oxygen mist bath apparatus comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement * effect | action is demonstrated below.

  The water flowing into the water heater 10 from the water supply channel 23 mixes and burns the air and gas sent by the burner fan 13 in the burner 12, and gives the combustion heat to the water in the heat exchanger 11 to make hot water. 23, and discharged from a currant 25 such as a bathroom 20, a shower 24, and a mist nozzle 26. In particular, the mist discharged from the mist nozzle 26 becomes fine mist-like water droplets and fills the bathroom 20 so that the mist sauna can be enjoyed at home.

  On the other hand, the oxygen enricher 15 can create air with an oxygen concentration of about 30% by diffusing and separating the oxygen enriched film 16 from the air that has been negatively pressured by the vacuum pump 17. 19, it is ejected from the oxygen nozzle 21 on the ceiling of the bathroom 20 into the bathroom 20.

  Normally, when bathing in the mist sauna, the bath is closed in order to exert its warm bath effect, and bathing is performed with the ventilation fan stopped, so the oxygen concentration gradually decreases due to breathing by a person. In addition, since it becomes hot and humid, it may be slightly difficult to breathe when taking a bath for a long time, although not as much as a dry sauna. By operating the oxygen enricher 15 at such a time, a high concentration of oxygen diffuses in the bathroom and the oxygen concentration can be maintained at about 21%, so that a comfortable and relaxing mist sauna can be enjoyed for a long time.

  In the present embodiment, the case where high-concentration oxygen is ejected from the ceiling of the bathroom 20 is described, but the same effect can be exerted even when the oxygen is ejected from the bathroom wall or the hot water of the bathtub 27.

  Moreover, although the example which ejects high concentration oxygen in the bathroom 20 was demonstrated, even if mist and high concentration oxygen are ejected to a shower room etc., the same effect can be exhibited.

(Embodiment 2)
FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a mist nozzle and an oxygen nozzle of the oxygen mist bath apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention.

  In this figure, the point different from the first embodiment is that an integrated nozzle 28 in which an oxygen nozzle 21 and a mist nozzle 26 for ejecting high-concentration oxygen air are integrally formed is provided. That is, high concentration oxygen and mist can be ejected into the bathroom 20 with a single integrated nozzle 28, so that one ejection nozzle can be used, reducing the number of processing steps to the bathroom and the number of attachment members. It is. The effect to be exhibited is the same as that of the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 3)
FIG. 3 is an overall system configuration diagram of the oxygen mist bath apparatus according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention.

  In this figure, the difference from Embodiment 1 is that a tube 29 for sending high-concentration oxygen is provided up to the headset 30 instead of the oxygen nozzle. That is, the bather 31 can suck high-concentration oxygen in the vicinity of the mouth, and can further enhance the relaxing and refreshing effect by sucking oxygen and fully enjoy the warm bath effect by the mist sauna.

(Embodiment 4)
FIG. 4 is an overall system configuration diagram of an oxygen mist bath apparatus according to Embodiment 4 of the present invention.

  In this figure, the difference from the first embodiment is that the oxygen enricher 15 is placed on the upper ceiling 32 of the bathroom 20.

  By providing the oxygen enricher 15 in the ceiling upper part 32, the conventional hot water heater 10 can be used as it is, and high-concentration oxygen can be ejected from the oxygen nozzle 21 in the ceiling upper part 32 of the bathroom 20. Is the same as that of the first embodiment.

(Embodiment 5)
FIG. 5 is an overall system configuration diagram of an oxygen mist bath apparatus according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention.

  In this figure, the mist nozzle is different from the first embodiment in that the high-concentration oxygen generated by the oxygen enricher 15 is pressurized by the pressurizing pump 33 and pressurized from the ejector 34 to the hot water supply passage 23 and dissolved. The point is that both the mist is ejected from 26 into the bathroom 20.

  At this time, the pressurizing pump 33 employs a pressure pump that can pressurize up to about 200 to 500 kPa, which is higher than the supply water pressure, and that is not damaged even when direct water pressure is applied.

  By making hot water mixed with pressurized high-concentration oxygen into a mist and ejecting it into the bathroom 20, it is not necessary to provide special piping for conveying the high-concentration oxygen air to the bathroom, and the construction can be simplified.

  In addition, since high-concentration oxygen is mixed in the hot water and hot water, it can be ejected from the shower head 24 and the currant 25, and the bather can use hot water containing high-concentration oxygen fine bubbles as shower water, for example. A cleaning effect and a thermal effect can be obtained by the effect of ultrasonic waves emitted when bubbles are blown. Furthermore, because of the fine bubbles, it has an effect on skin details such as cleaning of pores.

  Of course, the same applies to the washing-off after washing with the use of a detergent, and a synergistic effect with the detergent can be expected to produce a more washing effect, and further a rinsing effect is promoted.

  Further, when hot water is used from the currant, a washing effect can be exhibited by receiving hot water mixed with fine bubbles of high concentration oxygen in a basin or the like and washing the face using this hot water.

  Here, although the example incorporated in the hot water heater was shown, the same effect is exhibited even if it is provided in the bathroom ceiling upper part 32 and mixed into the hot water water under pressure.

  As described above, since the oxygen mist bath apparatus according to the present invention can supply mist and high-concentration oxygen into the bathroom, it can also be applied to uses such as business baths and health welfare equipment.
