  The above-described conventional technology includes setting means that can set the sauna temperature, the sauna bathing time, the number of cycles of the sauna operation and the cool-down operation, and based on the setting by the setting means, the sauna operation and the cool operation are provided. Cycle operation with down operation is performed. Therefore, the bather performs the mist sauna bath in a cycle set by himself / herself.

  By the way, there is a need to cool down between mist sauna baths, but even in the same bather, it may be difficult to know whether it is comfortable to cool down in any cycle without actually bathing. However, the conventional technology described above cannot meet such needs.

  Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a bathroom mist sauna apparatus that can meet the needs of various bathers and pursues more comfort.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors listened to the needs of many bathers and studied a comfortable bathroom mist sauna apparatus from various angles. First, in order to respond to the needs of various bathers, a so-called manual mode was studied in which cool-down is performed in response to bather instruction inputs. However, in the first place, it has been found that the conventional technique described above requires heating or cooling the entire bathroom, which is difficult to realize in practice. In addition, even if it is possible to introduce an air conditioner that is very large compared to the bathroom space, it is necessary to replace all the warm and cool air in the bathroom with such a large air conditioner. It turns out that is not always comfortable. The present invention has been made to solve a new problem obtained as a result of such trial and error.

  The bathroom mist sauna device according to the present invention is configured as one space that is not separated by an entity, and forms a mist sauna space for encouraging a bather to sweat in a bathroom space that includes a bathtub area and a washing area.

Since it can be formed, it is possible to provide a sweat zone and a cool sensation zone that are purposely formed to make it easier for bathers to enter those zones. Moreover, since the 1st area | region and the 2nd area | region are formed in the position divided | segmented side by side irrespective of the entity, the bather can come and go freely between them. Therefore, the bather can come and go between the perspiration zone formed in the first area and the cool feeling zone formed in the second area at the timing he / she intended, and cool down at a more favorable timing for himself / herself. Is possible. Furthermore, since the sweating zone and the cool sensation zone can be formed side by side constantly in the intended time zone during the zone separation air conditioning control by the control means, it is not necessary to replace all the warm air and cool air in the bathroom. Energy efficiency can also be improved. In the present invention, “separately formed regardless of the substance” means that the first region and the second region are formed so that the bather can freely come and go. In other words, it indicates that the partition member such as a physical curtain that extends from the ceiling to the floor is not partitioned. Therefore, the side wall of the bathtub may be erected as usual from the floor between the first region and the second region, and downward from the ceiling side member between the first region and the second region.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In order to facilitate the understanding of the description, the same constituent elements in the drawings will be denoted by the same reference numerals as much as possible, and redundant description will be omitted.

  The aspect which uses the bathroom mist sauna apparatus which concerns on embodiment of this invention is demonstrated referring FIG. FIG. 1 is a view for explaining an example in which a bathroom air conditioner body 10 constituting a bathroom mist sauna apparatus is attached to a bathroom unit BR.

  The bathroom unit BR is used when a bathroom is provided in an apartment house or a detached house, and is configured by assembling constituent members such as a wall, a floor, a ceiling, and a bathtub. The bathroom unit BR includes a floor member 20, wall members 21, 22 and 23, and a ceiling member 24. The wall members 21, 22, and 23 are attached upright around the floor member 20. The wall member 21 and the wall member 23 are provided at positions facing each other. The wall member 22 is provided adjacent to the wall member 21 and the wall member 23. Although not clearly shown in FIG. 1, a wall member is provided at a position facing the wall member 22, and the wall member is adjacent to the wall member 21 and the wall member 23. A ceiling member 24 is provided so as to face the floor member 20.

  The wall member 21 is provided with a window 211. The window 211 is configured by holding a window glass with a window frame. The window frame is fitted into the wall member 21. The wall member 22 is provided with a counter portion 221 and a storage shelf 223. A shower faucet 222 is attached to the counter portion 221. The wall member 23 is provided with a door 231 for entering and exiting the bathroom unit BR.

  The floor member 20 is provided with a bathtub BT. The bathtub BT has a bowl-like shape that forms a rectangular parallelepiped, and three walls among the four walls constituting the bathtub BT are arranged along the wall members 21 and 22 and a wall member that is not clearly shown in FIG. . Accordingly, one wall of the bathtub BT is erected in the vicinity of the substantially center of the floor member 20.

  The ceiling member 24 includes a flat ceiling portion 241 and a dome-shaped ceiling portion 242. The ceiling portion 241 is disposed substantially directly above the bathtub BT, and the ceiling portion 242 is disposed substantially directly above the floor member 20 where the bathtub BT is not provided. The bathroom air conditioner main body 10 is attached to the ceiling portion 241. The mist blown out from the bathroom air conditioner main body 10 and the wind to be sent out are configured to be sent out to an intended portion in the bathroom unit BR by a louver (not explicitly shown in FIG. 1).

  Subsequently, the zone air conditioning control that can be realized by the bathroom mist sauna apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. Zone air-conditioning control is a concept that includes zone separation air-conditioning control that intentionally separates the bathroom space into different zones and performs air-conditioning control, and single zone air-conditioning control that performs air-conditioning control with the bathroom space as a single zone. . FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a first example of zone air conditioning control. 2 (a) shows the first stage of zone air conditioning control, FIG. 2 (b) shows the second stage of zone air conditioning control, and FIG. 2 (c) shows the third stage of zone air conditioning control. ing.

  In FIG. 2, a bench BT1 is formed at one end of the rim of the bathtub BT, and a bench BT2 is formed inside the bathtub BT. Further, a bench counter 224 is provided on the wall surface opposite to the bathroom unit BR described in FIG. 1, and a mirror 225 is provided on the wall surface on which the bench counter 224 is provided.

  In the first stage of the zone air-conditioning control shown in FIG. 2A, the sweat fluid HF is sent out so as to encourage the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 to sweat. In this first stage, the vicinity of the bather H is used as a high-temperature and high-humidity sweat zone, so that the sweat fluid HF is composed of warm air and high-temperature mist, and the bench where the sweat fluid HF is at a predetermined position. It is sent out toward the vicinity of the counter 224. More specifically, the sweat fluid HF is configured by ejecting high-temperature mist while blowing warm air.

  In this stage of the present embodiment, the perspiration fluid HF is composed of warm air and high-temperature mist, but other modes can be adopted as long as a high-temperature mist atmosphere can be established. For example, instead of warm air, a temperature raising means using infrared rays may be used. Further, steam may be used instead of the high temperature mist. Moreover, you may use the aspect which heats the mist with normal temperature water, and it heats by blowing out the normal temperature mist which was ejected, and blows it out.

  Here, how the perspiration fluid HF is delivered will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 3A is a view of the bathroom unit BR viewed from the wall surface side where the mirror 225 is provided. FIG. 3B is a view of the bathroom unit BR as seen from the ceiling side. As shown in FIG. 3, a hot and humid sweat fluid HF is sent from the bathroom air conditioner body 10. The sweat fluid HF is sent out at an angle so as not to hit the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT standing near the center of the bathroom unit BR so as to effectively hit the bather H seated on the bench counter 224. . The perspiration fluid HF is sent out over the entire width of the washing place in the direction of viewing the bathtub BT side from the washing place side (see FIG. 3B).

  Accordingly, the entire washing area including at least the vicinity of the bench counter 224 is a high temperature mist atmosphere HA, and in the case of FIG. 3, almost the entire area inside the bathroom unit BR is a high temperature mist atmosphere HA. In this case, the inside of the bathroom unit BR is controlled by the zone air conditioning in the mode (second mode) in which the single zone air conditioning control is performed, and a sweating zone is formed at least in the vicinity of the bench counter 224. Sweating zones are formed almost all over the bathroom.

  Returning to FIG. 2, in the second stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 2B, the perspiration fluid HF sent out from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is sent out in the vicinity of the bench counter 224. In this case, since the perspiration fluid HF is sent out toward the periphery of the bench counter 224, the periphery of the bench BT1 and the bench BT2 is a cool sensation zone where the bather H can feel a refreshing feeling compared to the periphery of the bench counter 224. It has become. Therefore, when the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 and taking a mist sauna bath becomes stuffy, he can retreat to the benches BT1 and BT2 and feel a refreshing feeling.

  In the second stage of the zone air-conditioning control, the zone air-conditioning control is performed in a mode (first mode) in which zone separation air-conditioning control is performed in which a sweat zone and a cool feeling zone are formed in the bathroom unit BR. Moreover, the sweat zone is formed in the vicinity of the bench counter 224, and the cool feeling zone is formed in the vicinity of the bench BT1 and the bench BT2. Accordingly, the bathroom space is divided with the wash area side of the bathroom unit BR as the first area and the bathtub BT side of the bathroom unit BR as the second area.

  On the other hand, when the bather H tries to sweat by taking a mist sauna bath, the region where the bather H sits on the bench counter 224 is continuously controlled so as to be at least a sweating zone in which a high-temperature mist atmosphere is maintained. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), after the bather H has retreated, it returns to the sweating zone of the bench counter 224 for cycle bathing (bath in which mist sauna bathing and evacuation are alternately performed). You can instantly enjoy a comfortable mist sauna bath.

  Subsequently, in the third stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 2C, the perspiration fluid HF delivered from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is the same as the second stage shown in FIG. In the third stage, the cool sensation fluid CF composed of cool air and low temperature mist is sent out toward the area of the bench BT2. Therefore, when the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 and taking a mist sauna bath becomes suffocating or particularly hot, he can feel a refreshing feeling more effectively by evacuating to the bench BT2. it can. In addition, the water 30 is stretched over the bathtub BT, so that the feet of the bather H can be cooled, and a refreshing feeling can be felt even more effectively.

  In this embodiment, it is comprised so that the water filling to this bathtub may be performed automatically. In this embodiment, as the cool sensation fluid CF, the air in the bathroom unit BR is circulated without using a heater, and the cool air is injected as room temperature water as a low temperature mist. It is not limited to this. For example, only the cool wind or only the low temperature mist may be used as the cool sensation fluid CF. The cool air may be outdoor outdoor air, air in the adjacent room outside the bathroom, cold air cooled by a refrigerator, or hot air heated at a temperature lower than that of the sweat zone. In this way, the cool sensation fluid CF can take a wide variety of forms, because the sense of coolness is different for each person, and the sense of coolness varies depending on the season and the outside temperature, so that the optimum one can be selected each time. This is because it is preferable. Also, the low temperature mist is not normal temperature water, but may be cold water cooled by a refrigerator or low temperature mist heated at a temperature lower than the high temperature mist in the sweat zone.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a third stage of zone air conditioning control. 4A is a view of the bathroom unit BR viewed from the wall surface side where the mirror 225 is provided, and FIG. 4B is a view of the bathroom unit BR viewed from the ceiling side. As shown in (a) of FIG. 4, the hot and humid sweat fluid HF from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 does not hit the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT so as to effectively hit the bather H seated on the bench counter 224. It is sent out at an angle. The cool sensation fluid CF is sent out into the bathtub BT in the predetermined second region, and stays in the bathtub BT and its upper space. Accordingly, in the vicinity of the bench BT2 at a predetermined position in the second region, the cool feeling zone as a space of a size that surrounds the bather H and substantially encloses the bather H is surely formed. Is controlled. It is sufficient that the bather has a size that substantially includes the bather as long as the bather can actually feel that he / she has entered the bather. For example, only the upper body may be included, or the upper body and the lower body above the knee may be included.

  In addition, in this embodiment, it is devised so that it is not necessary to give a cool feeling to the feet with the cool feeling fluid CF by filling water in the bathtub BT. This is because the temperature in the bathroom unit BR inevitably decreases as the amount of the cool sensation fluid CF delivered to the bathroom unit BR is increased, and excessive energy consumption occurs in order to maintain the high-temperature mist atmosphere in the sweat zone. Therefore, the inflow amount of the cool sensation fluid CF is not increased as much as possible. It is also because humans can obtain a strong cool feeling by cooling their feet. In any case, the temperature drop in the sweat zone can be suppressed and the mist environment in the sweat zone can be secured by making it possible to obtain an appropriate and comfortable cool feeling without increasing the inflow amount of the cool fluid CF as much as possible. The wasteful energy consumption is suppressed so that a comfortable cycle bath can be provided.

  As shown in FIG. 4 (b), the perspiration fluid HF and the cool sensation fluid CF are ejected toward opposite sides substantially along the diagonal line of the bathroom unit BR. Therefore, the perspiration fluid HF and the cool sensation fluid CF are not easily mixed, and the perspiration zone HZ and the cool sensation zone CZ can be effectively formed.

  In the first example of zone air-conditioning control described above, at the time of zone separation air-conditioning control (second stage and third stage of zone air-conditioning control), the washing area including the bench counter 224 set in advance is the first area. The remaining area in the bathroom unit BR is controlled so as to always be the second area. As a result, the bath unit BR is configured so that the bather can move between the sweat zone and the cool sensation zone, enabling the bather to cycle bathing that allows the bather to experience the perception of sweat and cool sensation alternately. Yes.

  In the third stage of the zone air-conditioning control in the first example described above, the perspiration fluid HF is composed of warm air and high-temperature mist, but it is also preferable that it be composed only of warm air. Considering the sweating property due to the high temperature mist, it is preferable that the particle size of the high temperature mist is as small as possible. Therefore, the cool feeling in the cool zone CZ may be affected in the zone separation air conditioning control stage. Accordingly, in the third stage of zone air conditioning control, which is the zone separation air conditioning control stage, the sweat zone HZ and the cool feeling zone CZ can be more accurately separated by excluding the high temperature mist from the sweat fluid HF.

  Even when the perspiration fluid HF is composed only of warm air, the cool sensation fluid CF may be composed of cool air and low temperature mist, or may be composed of only one of them. Considering the cooling property by the low temperature mist, the particle size of the low temperature mist is preferably larger than the particle size of the high temperature mist, so that the influence on the sweat zone HZ due to the floating of the low temperature mist can be suppressed.

  Thus, using only warm air as the perspiration fluid HF and using cool air and / or low temperature mist as the cool sensation fluid CF means that the perspiration fluid HF is sent out so that the perspiration zone HZ is at a predetermined temperature or higher. On the other hand, the cool sensation fluid C CF is sent out so that the cool sensation zone CZ is lower than the temperature of the perspiration zone HZ by at least a predetermined temperature determined according to the temperature of the perspiration zone HZ.

  Subsequently, a second example and a third example of zone air conditioning control that can be realized by the bathroom mist sauna apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a second example and a third example of zone air conditioning control. 5A shows the first stage in the second example of zone air conditioning control, FIG. 5B shows the second stage in the second example of zone air conditioning control, and FIG. 5C shows the zone air conditioning control. The third examples are respectively shown.

  In FIG. 5, as in FIG. 2, a bench BT1 is formed on the rim of the bathtub BT, and a bench BT2 is formed on the inner side of the bathtub BT. Further, a bench counter 224 is provided on the wall surface opposite to the bathroom unit BR described in FIG. 1, and a mirror 225 is provided on the wall surface on which the bench counter 224 is provided.

  In the first stage of the zone air-conditioning control shown in FIG. 5A, the sweating fluid HF is applied so as to encourage the bather H1 sitting on the bench counter 224 and the bather H2 sitting on the bench BT1 to sweat. Sent out. In this case, the position where the bench counter 224 and the bench BT1 are arranged is a predetermined position, and at least the predetermined position is surrounded so that a hot and humid sweating zone is formed. Sweating fluid HF is sent out from the air conditioner body 10. Accordingly, the entire washing area including the vicinity of the bench counter 224 and a part of the bathtub BT including the vicinity of the bench BT1 form a sweating zone.

  Subsequently, in the second stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 5 (b), the perspiration fluid HF delivered from the bathroom air conditioner main body 10 is preliminarily narrowed in a mode slightly narrower than in the case of FIG. 5 (a). It is sent out aiming at an area including the vicinity of the bench counter 224 which is a predetermined position. In the case of this second example, a plurality of bathers are assumed, and the perspiration fluid HF is sent out so that the bathers H1 and H2 can enter the perspiration zone even in the second stage.

  In the second stage, cool sensation fluid CF composed of cool air and low temperature mist is sent out toward the region of bench BT2 in bathtub BT which is a predetermined position. Therefore, when the bather H2 sitting on the bench BT1 and taking a mist sauna bath becomes stuffy, a refreshing feeling can be felt more effectively by retreating to the bench BT2. Moreover, the refreshing feeling can be felt still more effectively by extending the water 32 to the bathtub BT.

  In this second example, even when the cool sensation zone is formed, it is necessary to maintain and ensure that the bather H1 can comfortably perform a mist sauna bath in the sweating zone, and the bather H2 returns to the sweating area. The control content is different from the first example in that it is necessary to secure a relatively large sweat zone even when the cool feeling zone is formed so that the mist sauna can be taken comfortably.

  Specifically, in the second example, it is difficult to separate the sweat zone and the cool feeling zone for the above reasons, and the situation becomes that they are close to each other, so the cool fluid CF and the sweat fluid HF are mixed and the cool zone On the other hand, the degree of coolness is low, and conversely, a temperature drop occurs in the perspiration zone. For this reason, in the cool sensation zone, it is desirable to perform control such as lowering the temperature of the cool sensation fluid CF so as to increase the degree of cool sensation or locally sending out the cool sensation fluid CF.

  Further, in the third stage of the first example (FIG. 2 (c)), since there are no bathers in the sweat zone, the temperature, humidity, mist particle size, etc. are maintained in the conditions necessary for the optimum mist environment. Since there is no need, it is preferable to perform control that places importance on suppressing the temperature drop in the sweat zone at the expense of these. For example, it can be said that it is optimal to take measures such as increasing the temperature of the perspiration fluid HF or increasing the particle size of the high-temperature mist to suppress the temperature drop. However, in the second example, there is a possibility that the bather may remain in the perspiration zone, so that it is not possible to perform the extreme control as in the first example, and the temperature drop accompanying the delivery of the cool sensation fluid CF and the optimum It is necessary to perform control so that the maintenance of a safe mist sauna environment is compatible to some extent optimally. In the present embodiment, different controls are performed in the first example and the second example based on these findings.

  Subsequently, in the third example of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 5C, the second stage (FIG. 5B) of the second example of the zone air conditioning control performs the zone separation air conditioning control of two zones. In contrast, this is an example in which zone separation air-conditioning control of three-zone separation is performed. The difference between the two-zone separation and the three-zone separation is that the three-zone separation narrows the position of the perspiration fluid HF ejected from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 as compared with the two-zone separation shown in FIG. The sweat zone and the cool feeling zone are more effectively formed, and an intermediate zone in which nothing is ejected is formed. The intermediate zone and the cool sensation zone are formed as evacuation zones in which bathers can obtain different cool sensations.

  In the second and third examples of the zone air conditioning control described above, the wash area including the bench counter 224 is the first area, and the remaining area (including the bench BT1 and the bathtub BT) in the bathroom unit BR is the second area. Yes. Therefore, the bathroom unit BR configured as one space that is not separated by an entity is divided into a predetermined first area and a second area, and a sweating zone is formed in at least a part of the first area. While being formed, a cool feeling zone is always formed on the benches BT1 and BT2 which are at least a part of the second region. As a result, the bath unit BR is configured so that the bather can move between the sweat zone and the cool sensation zone, enabling the bather to cycle bathing that allows the bather to experience the perception of sweat and cool sensation alternately. Yes.

  Subsequently, a fourth example of zone air conditioning control that can be realized by the bathroom mist sauna apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The fourth example shows an example in which the cool sensation zone is arranged in parallel with the sweat zone in the washing place, not in the bathtub side space. 6A shows the first stage of the zone air conditioning control of the fourth example, and FIG. 6B shows the second stage of the zone air conditioning control of the fourth example.

  In FIG. 6, a bench BT1 is formed on the rim of the bathtub BT, and a bench BT2 is formed inside the bathtub BT. Further, a bench counter 224 is provided on the wall surface opposite to the bathroom unit BR described in FIG. 1, and a mirror 225 is provided on the wall surface on which the bench counter 224 is provided.

  In the first stage of the zone air-conditioning control shown in FIG. 6A, the sweat fluid HF is sent out so as to encourage the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 to sweat. In this case, the position where the bench counter 224 is arranged is a predetermined position, and the bathroom air conditioner main body 10 surrounds at least the predetermined position to form a hot and humid sweating zone. The perspiration fluid HF is sent out from. Accordingly, the entire washing area including the vicinity of the bench counter 224 is a sweating zone. Here, the state in which the high temperature mist HM is ejected is the same as that described with reference to FIG. 3 in the first example.

  Subsequently, in the second stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 6B, the position of the perspiration fluid HF delivered from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is narrowed to the bench counter 224 side. A cool sensation fluid CF composed of cool air and low temperature mist is sent out toward the area of the bench BT2. Therefore, if the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 and taking a mist sauna bath becomes suffocating or getting hot, it is more effective to move to the opposite side of the washing area and evacuate to the bench BT2. You can feel a refreshing feeling.

  FIG. 7 is a modification pattern of a configuration in which a sweating zone and a cool feeling zone are formed side by side in the washing place of the fourth example, and is a diagram for explaining a fifth example of zone air conditioning control. (A) of FIG. 7 is the figure which looked at bathroom unit BR from the wall surface side in which the mirror 225 was provided, and has shown the part by which the cool sensation fluid CF is ejected. Moreover, (b) of FIG. 7 is the figure which looked at the bathroom unit BR from the ceiling side. The difference from the fourth example is that the cool sensation zone CZ is positioned not at the bench BT1 but at the corner of the washing place, and a cool sensation is obtained in the cool sensation zone in an upright state. As shown in FIGS. 7 (a) and 7 (b), in the fifth example, since the cool sensation fluid CF can be directed narrowly toward the corner of the bathroom unit BR, the perspiration fluid HF in the perspiration zone HZ and It is easy to suppress the mixing of water and the sweating zone HZ and the cool feeling zone CZ are more likely to coexist independently in a suitable form as compared with the fourth example.

  Further, in this fifth example, a further contrivance is applied, and as shown in FIG. 7 (a), it is configured so that the cool sensation fluid CF does not reach the vicinity of the floor surface of the cool sensation zone. It is that you are. As a result, bathers who are standing in the washing area and have a refreshing feeling can feel moderately cool and moderately warm at a slightly lower temperature due to the action of the sweat fluid HF. You can get a cool feeling. In addition, the mixing of the perspiration fluid HF and the cool sensation fluid CF along the floor surface can be alleviated, and the temperature drop in the perspiration zone can be suppressed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7B, the perspiration fluid HF and the cool sensation fluid CF are ejected to the washing area while being spaced apart from each other at a predetermined angle. Are less likely to mix, and a sweating zone and a cool feeling zone can be effectively formed.

  In the fourth and fifth examples of the zone air conditioning control described above, a part of the washing area including the bench counter 224 is a first area, and the remaining area of the washing area in the bathroom unit BR is a second area. Therefore, the bathroom unit BR configured as one space that is not separated by an entity is divided into a predetermined first area and a second area, and a sweating zone is formed in at least a part of the first area. At the same time, a cool feeling zone is formed in at least a part of the second region. As a result, the bath unit BR is configured so that the bather can move between the sweat zone and the cool sensation zone, enabling the bather to cycle bathing that allows the bather to experience the perception of sweat and cool sensation alternately. Yes.

  Subsequently, a sixth example of zone air conditioning control that can be realized by the bathroom mist sauna apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a sixth example of zone air conditioning control. 8A shows the first stage of zone air conditioning control, FIG. 8B shows the second stage of zone air conditioning control, and FIG. 8C shows the third stage of zone air conditioning control. ing.

  In FIG. 8, a bench BT1 is formed on the rim of the bathtub BT, and a bench BT2 is formed inside the bathtub BT. Further, a bench counter 224 is provided on the wall surface opposite to the bathroom unit BR described in FIG. 1, and a mirror 225 is provided on the wall surface on which the bench counter 224 is provided.

  In the first stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 8A, the perspiration fluid HF is sent out so as to encourage the bather H sitting on the bench BT2 in the bathtub BT to perspire. In this case, the position where the bench BT2 in the bathtub BT is arranged is a predetermined position, and the bathroom air-conditioning is performed so that a high-temperature and high-humidity sweat zone is formed surrounding at least the predetermined position. The perspiration fluid HF is sent out from the machine body 10. Therefore, the bathtub BT including the vicinity of the bench BT2 is a sweating zone.

  Here, how the perspiration fluid HF is delivered will be described with reference to FIG. (A) of FIG. 9 is the figure which looked at bathroom unit BR from the wall surface side in which the mirror 225 was provided. (B) of FIG. 9 is the figure which looked at bathroom unit BR from the ceiling side. As shown in FIG. 9, a hot and humid sweat fluid HF is sent out from the bathroom air conditioner body 10. The perspiration fluid HF is ejected toward the inside of the bathtub BT so as to effectively hit the bather H sitting on the bench BT2 in the bathtub BT.

  The sweat fluid HF sent out into the bathtub BT circulates along the side wall of the bathtub BT, and the entire region including the bathtub BT is a sweat zone. Moreover, the bathtub BT is filled with hot water below the seating surface of the bench BT2, which further encourages the sweat of the bather H sitting on the bench BT2. The perspiration fluid HF is sent out over the entire width of the bathtub BT (see FIG. 9B). Therefore, the entire bathtub area including the vicinity of the bench BT2 is a sweating zone.

  Returning to FIG. 8, in the second stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 8B, the position of the perspiration fluid HF delivered from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is the same as in the first stage shown in FIG. is there. In this case, since the perspiration fluid HF is sent out into the bathtub BT, the periphery of the bench BT1 is a cool feeling zone where the bather H can feel a refreshing feeling. Accordingly, when the bather H sitting on the bench BT2 and taking a mist sauna bath becomes stuffy, he can retreat to the bench BT1 and feel a refreshing feeling.

  Subsequently, in the third stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 8C, the position of the perspiration fluid HF delivered from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is the same as in the second stage shown in FIG. 8B. In the third stage, the cool sensation fluid CF composed of cool air and low temperature mist is sent out toward the area of the bench counter 224. Therefore, if the bather H sitting on the bench BT2 and taking a mist sauna bath feels hot and wants to cool down by receiving a cool fluid, the user can cool down more effectively by evacuating to the bench counter 224. You can feel the feeling.

  In addition, what is further devised in the sixth example is that the center of the cool feeling zone is set at a position farther from the bathtub BT of the bench counter 224. This prevents the cool sensation fluid CF from entering the BT BT and mixed with the perspiration fluid HF in the perspiration zone to cause a temperature drop in the perspiration zone. This is possible because the spray range of the cool sensation fluid CF does not have to be wide enough to completely surround the bather, unlike the spray range of the sweat fluid HF.

  In the sixth example of the zone separation air conditioning control described above, the bathtub area including the bathtub BT including the bench BT2 is defined as the first area, and the remaining area in the bathroom unit BR and the bench counter 224 in the washing area, in particular, the second non-tub side. As an area. Therefore, the bathroom unit BR configured as one space that is not separated by an entity is divided into a predetermined first area and a second area, and a sweating zone is formed in at least a part of the first area. At the same time, a cool feeling zone is formed in at least a part of the second region. As a result, the bath unit BR is configured so that the bather can move between the sweat zone and the cool sensation zone, enabling the bather to cycle bathing that allows the bather to experience the perception of sweat and cool sensation alternately. Yes.

  Subsequently, a seventh example of zone air conditioning control that can be realized by the bathroom mist sauna apparatus according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a seventh example of zone air-conditioning control. 10A shows the first stage of zone air conditioning control, FIG. 10B shows the second stage of characteristic zone air conditioning control in the seventh example, and FIG. 10C shows zone air conditioning control. Each of the third stages is shown. The seventh example does not focus on which part of the bathroom space the sweat zone or the cool feeling zone is formed, but the cool fluid CF for temporarily enhancing the cool feeling when forming the cool feeling zone. It is for demonstrating sending-out control. Therefore, the seventh example is a control mode that can be applied in combination with any of the first to sixth examples described above.

  In FIG. 10, a bench BT1 is formed on the rim of the bathtub BT, and a bench BT2 is formed inside the bathtub BT. Further, a bench counter 224 is provided on the wall surface opposite to the bathroom unit BR described in FIG. 1, and a mirror 225 is provided on the wall surface on which the bench counter 224 is provided.

  In the first stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 10A, the perspiration fluid HF is sent out so as to encourage the bather H sitting on the bench BT2 in the bathtub BT to perspire. In this case, the position of the bathtub BT is a predetermined position, and the sweating fluid HF is generated from the bathroom air conditioner main body 10 so as to form a high-temperature and high-humidity sweating zone so as to surround at least the predetermined position. Sent out. The sweat fluid HF ejected into the bathtub BT circulates along the side wall of the bathtub BT, and the entire region including the bathtub BT is a sweat zone. Moreover, the bathtub BT is filled with hot water below the seating surface of the bench BT2, which further encourages the sweat of the bather H sitting on the bench BT2.

  Subsequently, in the second stage of the zone air conditioning control shown in FIG. 10B, the delivery of the perspiration fluid HF delivered from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is temporarily stopped. While the delivery of the perspiration fluid HF is stopped (preferably about 1 minute), the delivery of the cool sensation fluid CF is started. The cool sensation fluid CF is delivered more than the normal state within the first predetermined time when the delivery of the perspiration fluid HF is stopped. One preferable mode is to temporarily increase the amount of the cool sensation fluid CF delivered by ejecting the low temperature mist composing the cool sensation fluid CF from the nozzle that had ejected the high temperature mist composing the perspiration fluid HF. . Thus, by increasing the amount of the cool fluid CF delivered, the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 can feel a refreshing feeling more strongly.

  Further, since the sweat fluid HF is temporarily stopped, the cool sensation fluid CF and the sweat fluid HF do not mix with each other, and the temperature of the cool fluid CF can be kept low. This allows the bather who was taking a bath in the mist sauna to be able to cool down at first because he is hot and wants to cool down by evacuating from the mist sauna environment. A comfortable cool-down environment can be provided. In addition, although the injection of the perspiration fluid HF to the perspiration zone is temporarily stopped, in addition to being temporary, the bather may not be able to mist in the perspiration zone during the period when the cool-down zone continues to cool down. Since the environment can be reconstructed, even when the bather returns to the sweating zone next time, there is no problem and cycle bathing can be provided comfortably.

  In the third stage of the zone separation air conditioning control shown in FIG. 10C, the position of the perspiration fluid HF sent out from the bathroom air conditioner body 10 is slightly away from the cool fluid CF side from the state of FIG. So that mixing of the two can be suppressed. In the third stage, a cool sensation fluid 31 such as cool breeze or low temperature mist is ejected toward the area of the bench counter 224. Therefore, when the bather H sitting on the bench BT2 and taking a mist sauna bath becomes hot or stuffy, he can feel a refreshing feeling more effectively by retreating to the bench counter 224. .

  In the seventh example of the zone separation air conditioning control described above, the bathtub area where the bathtub BT including the bench BT2 exists is the first area, and the remaining area in the bathroom unit BR is the second area. Therefore, the bathroom unit BR configured as one space that is not separated by an entity is divided into a predetermined first area and a second area, and a sweating zone is formed in at least a part of the first area. At the same time, a cool feeling zone is formed in at least a part of the second region. As a result, the bath unit BR is configured so that the bather can move between the sweat zone and the cool sensation zone, enabling the bather to cycle bathing that allows the bather to experience the perception of sweat and cool sensation alternately. Yes.

  In the seventh example described above, it is preferable to eject a small amount of cool fluid CF toward the bench counter 224 even in a state where the cool zone is not formed. For example, it is preferable that the cool sensation fluid CF is ejected in the first stage when the cycle operation is performed under the control of the seventh example. This preferred embodiment is shown in FIG. 11 as an eighth example. FIG. 11A shows a state in which the cool sensation fluid CF is being sent out toward the non-tub BT side of the bench counter 224 that is the center of the cool sensation zone. As shown in FIG. 11 (a), the cool sensation fluid CF is sent out constantly or periodically in a short cycle, thereby suppressing the influence on the temperature drop of the sweat zone and reducing the ambient temperature of the region that becomes the cool sensation zone. Can be effectively kept low.

  When the state shown in FIG. 11 (a) is changed to the state shown in FIG. 11 (b), the temperature of the region where a small amount of cool fluid CF is being sent out in the state shown in FIG. Since the temperature is lowered from the initial stage of delivery, the cool sensation fluid CF is not heat-exchanged with the surrounding high-temperature air, and thus the temperature cannot be raised. Therefore, the cool sensation zone can be effectively formed from the initial stage when the cool sensation zone is constructed. Since the bather H wants to obtain a strong cool feeling at the beginning when he wants to cool down, it can be said that the control of the eighth example that can obtain a strong cool feeling from the beginning is very useful in practice. . In addition, when the temperature of the cool fluid CF that has been sent out in a minute amount in FIG. 11A is slightly increased to suppress the temperature drop in the sweat zone, and the state shown in FIG. It is also preferable to rapidly lower the temperature of the fluid CF. By these controls, it is possible to effectively give a cool feeling to the bather H who has moved from the sweat zone while suppressing a temperature drop in the sweat zone.

  Subsequently, a ninth example of the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example suitable when the bathtub BT is set as a cool feeling zone as in the first and second examples of the present embodiment. A pair of mist nozzles N <b> 1 and N <b> 2 are disposed inside the bathtub BT and in the vicinity of the rim of the bathtub BT. A pair of mist nozzles N3 and N4 are disposed inside the bathtub BT and in the vicinity of the middle between the floor surface of the bathtub BT and the rim.

  From the mist nozzles N1 to N4, the above-described cool sensation fluid CF is ejected. Therefore, the area | region inside bathtub BT is made into the cool feeling zone. In addition, the number of mist nozzles is not restricted to four, It is possible to provide suitably according to the shape and magnitude | size of bathtub BT. Further, as in the ninth example, not only the inside of the bathtub BT is made into a cool feeling zone, but also by using it in combination with the one that sends out the cool feeling fluid CF from the ceiling of the bathroom BR of the first example or the second example. Needless to say, the cool zone may be surely formed. In short, since the inside of the bathtub BT is a concave space and air is not easily mixed, the perspiration fluid HF and the cool fluid CF are optimally separated, and the temperature separation can be performed easily and suitably. In the ninth example, the inside of the bathtub BT is constructed as a cool sensation zone, but it goes without saying that a sweating zone may be formed in the bathtub BT.

  Then, the suitable form of bathtub BT in this embodiment is shown in FIGS. In this embodiment, the bathtub BT side may be a sweat zone or a cool zone, and the wash area side may be a cool zone or a sweat zone correspondingly. In that case, it is preferable not to mix the airflow on the bathtub BT side and the airflow on the washing place side. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 13, it is preferable not to mix the airflow F1 in the bathtub BT and the airflow F2 on the washing place side.

  FIG. 14 is a view showing a rim shape of the bathtub BT for generating such a preferable separation of the airflow. FIG. 14 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the vicinity A of the center of the bathtub BT illustrated in FIG. 13 is viewed from above. As shown in FIG. 14, the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT includes a curved portion BT31 projecting toward the washing area, and a pair of curved portions BT32 and BT33 projecting inside the bathtub BT. The pair of bending portions BT32 and BT33 are formed so as to sandwich the bending portion BT31.

  Since the curved portion BT31 protrudes toward the washing area, a concave portion is formed inside the bathtub BT. Moreover, since the curved parts BT32 and BT33 protrude inside the bathtub BT, a recess is formed on the washing area side. Therefore, the air flow F1 inside the bathtub BT flows along the recess formed by the curved portion BT31 inside the bathtub BT. Further, the airflow F2 on the washing place side flows along the concave portion formed on the washing place side by the curved portions BT32 and BT33. Therefore, the air flow F1 flows along the vicinity of the bending portion BT31, and the air flow F2 flows along the vicinity of the bending portions BT32 and BT33. Since the bending portions BT32 and BT33 are formed on both sides of the bending portion BT31, the airflow F1 and the airflow F2 are also formed at positions separated accordingly.

  FIG. 15 is a view showing the rim shape of the bathtub BT for generating the preferable separation of the airflow as described above. FIG. 15 is a view showing a cross section of the rim in the central vicinity portion A of the bathtub BT shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 15, the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT includes an upper end portion BT36 (wind direction adjusting portion), an inner wall surface BT34 (wind direction adjusting portion) and an outer wall surface BT35 (wind direction adjusting portion) connected to the upper end portion BT36. Yes. The inner wall surface BT34 and the outer wall surface BT35 are curved so as to be separated from each other as approaching the upper end portion BT36. The airflow F1 inside the bathtub BT flows along the curve of the inner wall surface BT34, and the airflow F2 on the washing area side flows along the curve of the outer wall surface BT35. Therefore, the airflow F1 and the airflow F2 can flow separately from each other when passing through the upper end portion BT36, and can be prevented from mixing with each other.

When the sweat zone is formed, not only the sweat zone side movable louver 501 but also the cool feeling zone side movable louver 511 is directed to the sweat zone side.

  On the other hand, when the cool feeling zone is formed, energization to the heater 60 is stopped and cool air is sent out. Along with this cool breeze delivery, low temperature mist is ejected from the mist nozzle 72. In the formation of the cool sensation zone, it is also preferable to send out only cool air or only low temperature mist as the cool sensation fluid CF. What mode is adopted as the cool fluid CF depends on the detailed setting in the bathroom operation remote controller 43 as described with reference to FIGS.

  Subsequently, FIG. 28 shows a first modification of the bathroom air conditioner body 10. FIG. 28 is a diagram schematically showing the internal configuration of a bathroom air conditioner body 10a as a first modification.

  A circulation fan 531 is provided in the vicinity of the portion where the first air passage portion 103a and the second air passage portion 103b are connected. Circulation fan 531 is driven by circulation fan drive motor 53 that rotates based on an instruction signal from CPU 40 of bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS (see FIG. 16).

  A ventilation air passage 103f is connected to a portion where the second air passage portion 103b and the third air passage portion 103c are connected. A circulation / ventilation switching damper 551 is provided between the ventilation air passage 103f and the second air passage portion 103b and the third air passage portion 103c. The circulation / ventilation switching damper 551 is driven by a damper drive motor 55 that rotates based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS (see FIG. 16).

  Heating heaters 60, 61, and 62 are attached to the terminal portion of the third air passage portion 103c. The energization state of the heaters 60, 61, 62 is controlled by switches 601, 611, 621 that open and close based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS.

  A cool air fan 531a is provided in the fourth air passage portion 103d. Similarly to the circulation fan 531, the cool air fan 531a is driven by a circulation fan drive motor 53a that rotates based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS. Furthermore, a circulation / ventilation switching damper 551a is provided in the fourth air passage portion 103d. The circulation / ventilation switching damper 551a is driven by a damper drive motor 55a that rotates based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS.

  FIG. 29 shows a state where the fourth air passage portion 103d is connected to the ceiling of the washroom DR. It is also preferable that the ventilation air passage 103f is connected to the outside of the house where the bathroom unit BR is installed so as to allow ventilation. The fourth air passage portion 103d is also preferably connected to the washroom DR adjacent to the bathroom unit BR so as to allow ventilation.

  Returning to FIG. 28, the cover portion 104 is attached so as to cover the air passage portion 103. The cover portion 104 covers the air passage portion 103 and is attached in a state in which a predetermined gap is secured between the flat ceiling portion 241 (see FIG. 1) of the ceiling member 24 of the bathroom unit BR. Therefore, when the circulation fan 531 attached to the air passage portion 103 rotates, air is sucked from the gap between the cover portion 104 and the ceiling portion 241.

  An opening 104a is formed in a portion of the cover portion 104 corresponding to the first air passage portion 103a. An opening 104b is formed in a portion of the cover portion 104 corresponding to the third air passage portion 103c. Three sweat zone-side movable louvers 501 are provided in the opening 104b. The three sweat zone-side movable louvers 501 are attached immediately below the heaters 60, 61, 62.

  An opening 104c is formed in a portion of the cover portion 104 corresponding to the fifth air passage portion 103e. A cool sensation zone side movable louver 511 is provided in the opening 104c.

  Mist nozzles 73 and 74 are provided in the vicinity of the two sweat zone side movable louvers 501 out of the three sweat zone side movable louvers 501. Near the cool zone movable louver 511, a mist nozzle 72 is provided. The mist nozzle 72 and the mist nozzles 73 and 74 are attached to the opposite sides with the openings 104a, 104b, and 104c interposed therebetween. Therefore, the mist ejection direction of the mist nozzle 72 and the mist ejection direction of the mist nozzles 73 and 74 are configured to be opposite to each other.

  In the bathroom air conditioner main body 10a shown in FIG. 28, when a sweat zone is formed, the circulation fan 531 is rotated while the heaters 60, 61, 62 are energized to send warm air into the bathroom. Along with this warm air delivery, warm mist is ejected from the mist nozzles 73 and 74 to make the inside of the bathroom a mist sauna space.

  On the other hand, when forming a cool feeling zone, the cool wind fan 531a is rotated to send cool air. It is also preferable to eject cold mist from the mist nozzle 72 in conjunction with this cool air delivery. In the bathroom air conditioner main body 10a, the air passage for sending the hot air and the air passage for sending the cool air are provided independently, so the fan rotation amount can be changed according to each request of the hot air and the cool air. Thus, the sweating zone and the cool feeling zone can be formed more efficiently. In forming the cool sensation zone, an air amount that is substantially the same as or slightly larger than the amount of air flowing in from the fourth air passage portion 103d is ventilated through the ventilation air passage 103f. This is because if the outside air or air from the next room (toilet) is taken into the bathroom, the air pressure in the bathroom will increase, and the air in the bathroom will be ejected from the galley of the bathroom door toward the next room (toilet). This is to prevent it.

  FIG. 30 shows an example in which the bathroom air conditioner body 10a is installed. As shown in FIG. 30, the bathroom air conditioner main body 10a is installed so that the bathtub BT side is a cool feeling zone and the washing area side is a sweat zone. When installed in this way, both cool air CW and warm air HW circulate along the side wall of the bathroom. The cool air CW rises along the inner side wall of the bathtub BT, and the hot air HW rises along the outer side wall of the bathtub BT. Therefore, the cool air CW and the warm air HW circulated in the bathroom unit BR can be efficiently sucked from the opening 104a. As a result, the warm air and the cool air flow beautifully in parallel along the bathtub, so that mixing of the two air currents can be suppressed, and the sweat zone and the cool zone can be optimally formed.

  Then, the 2nd modification of the bathroom air conditioner main body 10 is shown to FIG. FIG. 31 is a diagram schematically showing the internal configuration of a bathroom air conditioner body 10b as a second modification. 32 is a view as seen from the arrow C side in FIG.

  A bathroom air conditioner main body 10b shown in FIGS. 31 and 32 includes an air passage portion 105 and a cover portion 106. The air passage portion 105 is connected to the first air passage portion 105a, the second air passage portion 105b, the third air passage portion 105c, and the fourth air passage portion 105d.

  The first air passage portion 105a, the second air passage portion 105b, and the third air passage portion 105c are connected to form an angle of 90 degrees with each other. Accordingly, the direction of the air sucked from the first air passage portion 105a and the direction of the air blown out from the third air passage portion 105c form an angle of 180 degrees.

  The fourth air passage portion 105d is connected to the second air passage portion 105b, and is provided in parallel with the third air passage portion 105c. The fourth air passage portion 105d is provided along the third air passage portion 105c, and is arranged so that the end of the fourth air passage portion 105d and the end of the third air passage portion 105c are adjacent to each other. ing.

  A circulation fan 531 is provided in the vicinity of the portion where the first air passage portion 105a and the second air passage portion 105b are connected. Circulation fan 531 is driven by circulation fan drive motor 53 that rotates based on an instruction signal from CPU 40 of bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS (see FIG. 16).

  A ventilation air passage 105e is connected to a portion where the second air passage portion 105b and the third air passage portion 105c are connected. A circulation / ventilation switching damper 551 is provided between the ventilation air passage 105e and the second air passage portion 105b and the third air passage portion 105c. The circulation / ventilation switching damper 551 is driven by a damper drive motor 55 that rotates based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS (see FIG. 16).

  Heating heaters 60, 61, and 62 are attached to the terminal portion of the third air passage portion 105c. The energization state of the heaters 60, 61, 62 is controlled by switches 601, 611, 621 that open and close based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS.

  A cool air damper 551b is provided at the end of the fourth air passage portion 105d on the second air passage portion 105b side. The cool air damper 551b is driven by a damper drive motor 55b that rotates based on an instruction signal from the CPU 40 of the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS. The cool breeze damper 551b is opened when the escape mode button 43cd (see FIG. 18) is pressed and the escape mode is turned on, and cool breeze is blown into the cool feeling zone. On the other hand, when the escape mode button 43cd is pressed again to turn off the escape mode, the cool wind damper 551b is closed and the formation of the cool feeling zone is released. The fourth air passage portion 105d may be configured such that the refrigerator 85 can cool the air.

  The cover portion 106 is attached so as to cover the air passage portion 105. The cover portion 106 covers the air passage portion 105 and is attached in a state where a predetermined gap is secured between the flat ceiling portion 241 (see FIG. 1) of the ceiling member 24 of the bathroom unit BR. Accordingly, when the circulation fan 531 attached to the air passage portion 105 rotates, air is sucked from the gap between the cover portion 106 and the ceiling portion 241.

  An opening 106a is formed in a portion of the cover portion 106 corresponding to the first air passage portion 105a. Three perspiration zone side movable louvers 501 are provided in the opening 106a. The three sweat zone-side movable louvers 501 are attached immediately below the heaters 60, 61, 62.

  An opening 106b is formed in a portion of the cover portion 106 corresponding to the fourth air passage portion 105d. A cool sensation zone side movable louver 511 is provided in the opening 106b.

  Mist nozzles 73 and 74 are provided in the vicinity of the two sweat zone side movable louvers 501 out of the three sweat zone side movable louvers 501. Near the cool zone movable louver 511, a mist nozzle 72 is provided. The mist nozzle 72 and the mist nozzles 73 and 74 are attached to the opposite sides with the openings 106a and 106b interposed therebetween. Therefore, the mist ejection direction of the mist nozzle 72 and the mist ejection direction of the mist nozzles 73 and 74 are configured to be opposite to each other.

  In the bathroom air conditioner main body 10b shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, when a sweat zone is formed, the circulating fan 531 is rotated while energizing the heaters 60, 61 and 62, and warm air is sent into the bathroom. . Along with this warm air delivery, warm mist is ejected from the mist nozzles 73 and 74 to make the inside of the bathroom a mist sauna space.

  On the other hand, when forming a cool feeling zone, the cool wind damper 551b is opened, and cool air is sent out while operating the refrigerator 85. It is also preferable to eject cold mist from the mist nozzle 72 in conjunction with this cool air delivery. In the bathroom air conditioner main body 10b, the fourth air passage portion 105d for sending the cool air is provided independently of the third air passage portion 105c for sending the hot air so as to bypass the heaters 60, 61 and 62. Therefore, it is difficult to mix the warm air and the cool air, and the sweat zone and the cool feeling zone can be formed more efficiently. Moreover, since the cool air can be provided in a state where the heater 60 is energized, the temperature of the sweat zone can be more accurately maintained.

  When the refrigerator 85 is used in this way, it is not necessary to take in outside air or air from the adjacent room (toilet) into the bathroom when the cool zone is formed. As described above, in the bathroom air conditioner main body 10a, ventilation from the ventilation air passage 103f is necessary in order to take in outside air or air from the adjacent room (toilet). On the other hand, in this bathroom air conditioner body 10b, it is not necessary to take in outside air or air from the adjacent room (toilet), and there is no need to perform ventilation because the amount of air in the bathroom does not change. Therefore, the high temperature air in the perspiration zone is not discharged, and the temperature drop in the perspiration zone can be suppressed.

  Subsequently, in order to optimally construct the sweating zone and the cool feeling zone, the bathroom unit BR will be described in order to explain how the mist and air blown out from the bathroom air conditioner body 10b are devised to separate the zones. The flow of the mist and the air will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 and 34, zone separation air conditioning control is performed so that the bathtub BT side is a cool feeling zone and the washing area side is a sweating zone.

  First, in the case of constructing only a sweating zone in which the escape mode button shown in FIG. 33 is not operated, the warm air HW is set to blow out toward the bather H on the washing place side, and the warm mist HM It is ejected in the form of ejecting upward from the HW and riding on the warm air HW. This is designed so that the mist does not fall on the floor immediately but floats for a long time, so that the mist can be quickly adjusted with a mist with little mist environment. Another object is to suppress discomfort caused by high temperature mist directly hitting a bather. Moreover, the warm air HW is blowing out toward the washing place side rather than the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT. Therefore, the warm mist HM is sent out to the washing place by riding on the warm air HW. Accordingly, the washing area becomes a sweating zone, and the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 can be encouraged to sweat.

  Next, the case where the escape mode button is operated to construct a cool feeling zone where the bather cools down will be described with reference to FIG. When the escape mode button is operated, the sweat zone side louver is adjusted so that the warm air HW is directed to the upper side which is the ceiling side, and the cold mist CM and the cool air CW are ejected toward the bathtub BT. The warm mist HM is sent to the washing area on the warm air HW, but the cold mist CM is sent into the cool air CW so that the cool feeling zone can give a strong cool feeling. Thereby, the cold mist CM and the cold mist CM can be strongly applied to the body of the bather H, and a cool feeling can be strongly felt.

  It can be seen that by changing the warm air HW upward, the warm mist HM is also changed upward due to the influence of the warm air. The purpose of changing in this way is to first separate the cool air CW from the hot air HW. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the temperature drop of the sweat zone due to the influence of the warm air HW and the cool air CW, and it is possible to give a strong cool feeling to the cool feeling zone side. Moreover, the warm air HW flows along the floor from the side wall of the bathroom unit BR, and a clean air flow rising along the outside of the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT is generated. On the other hand, the cool breeze CW flows along the inside of the bathtub BT and rises along the inside of the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT, so that a clean air current is generated. The warm air HW and the cool air CW that have risen along the side wall BT3 are sucked into the bathroom air conditioner body 10b in a parallel state, so that the warm air HW and the cool air CW are not mixed. The mist HM and the cold mist CM are taken into consideration so that the temperature does not become uniform.

  Subsequently, an example in which the bathtub BT side is a sweating zone and the washing area side is a cool feeling zone will be described with reference to FIGS. In the example described in FIGS. 35 and 36, the bathroom air conditioner main body 10b is attached so as to be horizontally reversed from FIGS. 33 and 34.

  First, in the case of constructing only a sweating zone where the escape mode button shown in FIG. 35 is not operated, the hot air HW is set to blow out into the bathtub BT, and the hot mist HM is in the bathtub BT. It is made to erupt over the bather H above the head. This is designed so that the mist does not fall on the floor immediately but floats for a long time, so that the mist can be quickly adjusted with a mist with little mist environment. Another object is to suppress discomfort caused by high temperature mist directly hitting a bather. Thereby, the bathtub BT side becomes a sweating zone, and the bather H in the bathtub BT can be encouraged to sweat.

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 36, the sweat zone side louver is adjusted so that the warm air HW is directed upward, and the cold mist CM and the cool air CW are jetted toward the washing area. The hot air HW flows along the bathtub BT and rises along the side wall of the bathroom unit BR on the bathtub BT side. On the other hand, the cool air CW flows along the side wall and floor of the bathroom unit BR, and rises along the outside of the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT. The warm air HW rising along the side wall of the bathroom unit BR and the cool air CW rising along the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT are sucked into the bathroom air conditioner body 10b.

  Moreover, the warm air HW is blowing out toward the washing place side rather than the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT. Therefore, the warm mist HM is sent out to the washing place by riding on the warm air HW. Accordingly, the washing area becomes a sweating zone, and the bather H sitting on the bench counter 224 can be encouraged to sweat.

  Next, a case where the escape mode button is operated to construct a cool feeling zone where the bather cools down will be described with reference to FIG. When the escape mode button is operated, the sweat zone side louver is adjusted so that the warm air HW is directed to the upper side which is the ceiling side, and the cold mist CM and the cool air CW are ejected toward the washing area. In order to give a strong cool feeling to the cool feeling zone side, the cold mist CM is put into the cool wind CW and sent out. Thereby, the cold mist CM and the cold mist CM can be strongly applied to the body of the bather H, and a cool feeling can be strongly felt.

  The purpose of changing the warm air HW to the upper side is first to separate the cool air CW from the warm air HW. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the temperature drop of the sweat zone due to the influence of the warm air HW and the cool air CW, and it is possible to give a strong cool feeling to the cool feeling zone side. In addition, the cool air CW flows along the floor from the side wall of the bathroom unit BR, and a clean air flow rising along the outside of the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT occurs. On the other hand, the warm air HW flows along the inside of the bathtub BT and rises along the inside of the side wall opposite to the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT so that a clean air current is generated. The warm air HW that has risen along the side wall opposite to the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT and the cool air CW that has risen along the outside of the side wall BT3 of the bathtub BT are sucked into the bathroom air conditioner main body 10b cleanly. As a result, the warm air HW and the cool air CW are not mixed, and the warm mist HM and the cold mist CM are not moved and the temperature is not uniformed.

  Subsequently, zone separation air conditioning control using the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS will be described. FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing a flow of zone separation air conditioning control (escape mode) by the CPU 40. In the description with reference to FIG. 37, the setting temperature of the sweat zone is set to 36 ° C., the temperature of the cool feeling zone is set to 25 ° C., and the setting of the set temperature of the sweat zone is prioritized, and the cool feeling environment is automatically set. It is said.

  First, it is determined whether or not a flag F indicating whether or not a cool zone has been formed is set (step S01). If the flag F is 1, the process proceeds to step S20 described later. If the flag F is 0, the process proceeds to step S02.

  Subsequently, a set value such as a cool zone temperature or a cold water mist temperature is read (step S02). As described with reference to FIG. 19, this setting value is a setting value set in the detailed setting of the escape mode. Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the escape mode for forming the cool feeling zone is ON (step S03). If the escape mode button 43cd (see FIG. 18) is operated and the escape mode is not ON, the process returns. If the escape mode button 43cd (see FIG. 18) is operated and the escape mode is ON, the process proceeds to step S04.

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the temperature of the sweat zone is within a target temperature range based on a set temperature (36 ° C. in this example) (step S04). If the temperature of the sweat zone is not within the target temperature range, the sweat zone has not been sufficiently constructed, and it is unlikely that the bather has operated the escape mode to cool down, and it may be an erroneous operation. There is a warning that it is impossible to form the escape mode because it is not preferable in terms of ensuring the mist sauna environment that there is, and it is not preferable to spray the cool sensation fluid in a state where the sweat zone is not complete (step S05) , Escape mode operation is not accepted. If the temperature of the sweat zone is within the target temperature range, the process proceeds to step S06.

  Subsequently, cool water having a set temperature is poured into the bathtub BT (step S06). This injection of cool water is performed when the bathtub BT side is in a cool feeling zone. If hot water is already filled in the bathtub BT, this step S06 is skipped. Moreover, when the bathtub BT side is a perspiration zone, it controls so that hot water is forcibly stretched about 20 cm with the start of spraying of mist.

  Subsequently, circulating air blow is started toward the cool feeling zone (step S07). More specifically, the cool breeze damper 551b (see FIG. 31 and the like) is opened to send the cool breeze. Thereafter, the target temperature of the sweat zone is raised and the particle size of the warm mist is increased to maintain the temperature of the sweat zone. Further, it is suppressed that the mist having a larger particle size by dropping the jetting speed of the warm mist quickly falls on the floor surface and the feeling of mist disappears (step S08). In this case, it is also preferable to temporarily stop sending warm air and warm mist only at the beginning to suppress mixing with cool air so that a cool feeling can be strongly felt. When warm mist is sprayed, it is easy to equalize the temperature, so when constructing a cool sensation zone, temporarily stop warm air and warm mist, then resume blowing only warm air and immediately before constructing the cool sensation zone. In the aspect of optimizing the cool feeling zone, it is more preferable to restart the injection of the warm mist.

  Subsequently, the sweating zone side movable louver is moved, and control is performed so that the warm air and the warm mist are retracted as shown in FIG. 34 (step S09). Thereafter, the rotational speed of the circulation fan 531 (see FIG. 16 and the like) is increased (step S10). This is a response to that because the initial bather of cooldown wants to get a strong cool feeling, and it is a response to that, and the cold mist that is jetted without the hot floating mist in the cool feeling zone There is also a purpose to prevent high temperature.

  In step S10, it is determined whether 5 seconds have elapsed after the rotational speed of the circulation fan 531 is increased (step S11). This is to increase the fan rotation at the beginning of the escape when you want to get a cool feeling and give a strong cool feeling to the bather to give a high degree of cool feeling satisfaction. After determining that 5 seconds have elapsed in step S11, the cool zone temperature t is read by the cool zone temperature sensor (step S12).

  The deviation T1 between the cool zone temperature t read in step S11 and the cool zone target temperature Tt is calculated (step S13). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the deviation T1 is 5 ° C. or more (step S14).

  In step S14, when the deviation T1 is not 5 ° C. or more, injection of cool water mist is started (step S15). In the ejection of the cool water mist in step S15, the particle diameter of the mist is made medium and the mist ejection speed is increased. This is because the deviation from the target temperature is small, and it seems that the cool feeling has already been obtained to an area that is almost close to the cool feeling that the bather wants to obtain. The particle size is moderate so as not to cause a temperature drop unnecessarily.

  It is determined whether or not 3 seconds have elapsed after the start of ejection of the cool water mist in step S15 (step S16). If 3 seconds have not elapsed, the process of step S15 is continued. If 3 seconds have elapsed, a flag F indicating whether or not a cool zone has been formed is set to 1 (step S19).

  In step S14, when the deviation T1 is 5 ° C. or more, injection of cool water mist is started (step S17). In the ejection of the cool water mist in step S17, the particle diameter of the mist is increased and the mist ejection speed is also increased. Since the deviation from the target temperature is still large, it is determined that the bather's cool feeling satisfaction level is still insufficient, and the particle size is increased so as to obtain a strong cool feeling. In addition, since it can suppress that it becomes high temperature by atmospheric temperature, so that a particle size is large, when it touches a bather, it can be made to feel cold.

  It is determined whether or not 5 seconds have elapsed after the start of ejection of the cool water mist in step S17 (step S18). If 5 seconds have not elapsed, the process of step S17 is continued. If 5 seconds have elapsed, a flag F indicating whether or not a cool zone has been formed is set to 1 (step S19).

  Subsequently, in Step S01, when the flag F indicating whether or not the cool feeling zone is formed is 1, the temperature of the sweat zone is read by the sweat zone side temperature sensor 46 (see FIG. 16 and the like) (Step S20). . From here, it becomes the second stage control of cool feeling control. In other words, the initial stage of the escape start when you want to get a cool feeling is the first stage control. During this period, control is performed to give a strong cool feeling that will satisfy the bather rather than the temperature drop in the sweat zone. In the subsequent second stage control, the control zone is changed to a control zone that maintains the temperature of the sweat zone while giving a comfortable cool feeling rather than a strong cool feeling.

  Based on the temperature of the sweat zone read in step S20, it is determined whether or not the temperature drop of the sweat zone is equal to or higher than a predetermined value (step S21).

  In step S21, if the temperature drop in the perspiration zone is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, in order to avoid a further temperature drop, a temperature maintenance correction for the perspiration zone that suppresses the delivery of cool sensation fluid is performed (step S23). Specifically, correction is performed to increase the cool water mist ejection intermittent time detected in step S24 by 1.5, and the target correction control amount that is corrected to increase the target set temperature Tt of the cool sensation zone by 2 ° C. is used. (Target set temperature Tt = Tt + 2 ° C.). Accordingly, since the deviation amount is apparently reduced, the jet of cool sensation fluid is suppressed, and the temperature maintenance performance of the sweat zone can be enhanced.

  In step S21, if the temperature drop in the sweating zone is not equal to or greater than the predetermined value, the temperature drop in the sweating zone still has room, and there is still a lot of room for giving a cool feeling satisfaction. Without correction, control is performed using a value calculated based on the deviation T1 between the cool zone temperature t and the cool zone target temperature Tt as it is.

  As shown in FIG. 37, the greater the deviation T1, the more the cool feeling satisfaction is considered to be insufficient. Further, the larger the deviation T1, the larger the particle size of the cool water mist. Moreover, the intermittent injection time of the cool water mist is shortened to increase the number of injections per unit time. In step S08, the warm mist particle size in the sweat zone has already been increased (the dot-dash line in step S24 in FIG. 37 indicates the particle size of the warm mist in the sweat zone), but the cool water mist in the cool zone gives a strong cool feeling. Therefore, it is substantially larger than the particle size of the warm mist. Specifically, since the region where the deviation T1 is very small is not a region where it is desired to obtain a cool feeling, the particle size of the cool water mist is smaller than the particle size of the warm mist only in such a small region. Is. By increasing the particle size of the cool water mist in this way, the cool water mist easily falls quickly, so that it is possible to suppress the floating in the air and suppress the temperature drop in the sweat zone. .

  By performing the process of step S24, the optimal cool water mist is jetted based on the deviation T1, but the amount of water in the cool water mist is about 1/5 of the amount of warm mist with respect to the sweat zone. It can be seen that a cool sensation zone is constructed for a local area while maintaining the temperature. (See FIG. 38).

  Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the temperature of the cool zone is within the target temperature range (step S25). If the cool zone temperature is not within the target temperature range, the process returns to step S01. If the cool zone temperature is within the target temperature range, the process proceeds to step S26.

  Subsequently, the ejection of the cool water mist is stopped (step S26). Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the escape mode is turned off (step S27). If the escape mode is OFF, the flag F is set to 0, and the process returns to step S01 (step S28).

  If the escape mode is not turned off in step S27, it is determined whether the duration of the escape mode is a predetermined time or longer (step S29). If the duration time of the escape mode is not longer than the predetermined time, the process returns to step S01. If the duration of the escape mode is equal to or longer than the predetermined time, the ejection of the warm mist in the perspiration area is stopped (step S30). Thereafter, the flag F is set to 0, and the process returns to step S01 (step S31). This is a situation where the cool-down is taking place for too long, and it seems that he / she has stopped doing cycle bathing, and maintaining a high temperature while injecting a warm mist to maintain the sweat zone is a big energy loss (If hot air alone is used, it is easy to maintain a high temperature, but if a hot mist is injected, a temperature drop occurs, so a large amount of energy is required to maintain the high temperature.) Only the wind continues. Although only the warm mist injection is stopped this time, it is useless if the escape mode continues for too long, so the warm air may also be stopped.

  Subsequently, zone separation air conditioning control (open-air bath mode) using the bathroom mist sauna apparatus MS will be described. FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing a flow of zone separation air conditioning control (open-air bath mode).

  It is determined whether or not the outdoor bath mode is ON (step S40). If the outdoor bath mode is not ON, the process is terminated. If the outdoor bath mode is ON, the process proceeds to step S41.

  Subsequently, circulating air blow is started toward the cool feeling zone (step S41). More specifically, the cool breeze damper 551b (see FIG. 31 and the like) is opened to send the cool breeze. Subsequently, the sweat zone side movable louver and the cool sensation zone side movable louver are moved so as to control the cool wind to hit the vicinity of the bather's head (step S42). Thereafter, the rotational speed of the circulation fan 531 (see FIG. 16 and the like) is increased (step S43).

  In step S43, it is determined whether 5 seconds have elapsed after the rotational speed of the circulation fan 531 is increased (step S44). When it is determined that 5 seconds have passed, the spray of cool water mist is started (step S45). In the ejection of the cool water mist in step S45, the particle diameter of the mist is increased and the mist ejection speed is also increased. The control so far is the first control zone similar to the escape mode, and the bather seems to have a strong cool feeling request at the start of the control, and thus gives a strong cool feeling in the maximum state.

  Subsequently, the deviation T1 between the cool zone temperature t and the cool zone target temperature Tt is calculated, and the same processing as step S24 in FIG. 37 is performed (step S46). Subsequently, it is determined whether or not the outdoor bath mode is turned off (step S47). If the outdoor bath mode is OFF, the process is terminated.
