  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a configuration of a mist sauna apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  The mist sauna apparatus 1 includes a ventilation box 2 that exhausts air in the bathroom, a mist generation drying circulation box 3 that generates drying, circulation ventilation, and mist in the bathroom, and components in the ventilation box 2 and a mist generation drying circulation box 3. It comprises an operation control instruction circuit 4 that controls the internal components.

  Inside the ventilation box 2, the exhaust fan 5 for exhausting the air in the bathroom through the mist generation drying circulation box 3 installed in the bathroom, the exhaust damper 6 for controlling the exhaust amount in the bathroom, and the bathroom ceiling Attic air temperature detecting means 7 for detecting the temperature of the air is provided.

  Further, in the mist generation drying circulation box 3, a blower 109 for blowing air into the bathroom, a mist sprayer 108 for generating mist, an illuminator 8 for aggregating large particles of mist, and water droplets aggregated by the illuminator 8 are drained. A drain receiver 110, an airflow generation guide 9 for determining the direction of blowing air into the bathroom, a temperature detection sensor means 10 for detecting the temperature in the bathroom, a humidity detection sensor means 11 for detecting the humidity in the bathroom, A water vapor aggregating filter 13 for aggregating steam, a water droplet collection receptacle 12 such as a water receptacle for receiving and draining the condensed water droplets of water vapor, and a heat exchanger 103 for heating the air in the bathroom are provided. The water vapor aggregating filter 13 may be any filter as long as it can collect fine water droplets such as steam and water vapor.

  Further, although not shown in the drawing, the operation control instruction circuit 4 is connected by wiring for outputting operation to the exhaust fan 5, the exhaust damper 6 and the attic air temperature detecting means 7 of the ventilation box 2, and is further dried by generating mist. The circulation box 3 is connected to the blower 109, the heat exchanger 103, the mist sprayer 108, the airflow generation guide 9, the temperature detection sensor means 10 for detecting the temperature, and the humidity detection sensor means 11 by wiring.

  FIG. 2 shows a cross-section of the airflow that hits the wall surface in the bathroom by the airflow generation guide 9. As the air flow generation means, an operation mode signal is sent from the operation control instruction circuit 4 to the heat exchanger 103, the blower 109, the exhaust fan 5, the exhaust damper 6, and the air flow generation guide 9, and air such as ventilation, drying and circulation is sent to the bathroom. Sent to. Then, by changing the wind direction of the airflow generation guide 9 after the mist operation, wind hits the ceiling surface, wall surface, and floor surface in the bathroom, and water droplets on each surface can be evaporated.

  However, with such a configuration alone, mist is generated in the bathroom from the mist sauna device 1 and a mist space that is comfortable for humans can be produced. However, due to the occurrence of mist, water droplets attached to the wall surface and ceiling exist in the bathroom. Needless to say, mold grows using sebum and soap cake as nutrients.

  Therefore, a method of evaporating water droplets on the bathroom wall surface as shown in FIG. 3 and confirming the evaporation is necessary. As an example of the method of confirming, the output conversion value and the humidity detection of the temperature detection sensor means 10 in the mist sauna device 1 The output conversion value of the sensor means 11, the output conversion value of the attic air temperature detection means 7, and the operation mode output from the operation control instruction circuit 4 of the mist sauna device 1 will be described.

  When the air temperature in summer is 28 ° C. and the humidity is 65% RH, the operation control instruction circuit 4 outputs a mist operation mode signal to generate a warm mist from the mist sprayer 108, and the temperature detection sensor means 10 in the bathroom. Of the humidity detection sensor means 11 rises to 100% after t1 hour. Further, due to the temperature rise in the bathroom, the temperature on the back of the roof also rises, and the output conversion value of the attic air temperature detection means 7 also rises. A dry operation mode signal is output from the operation control instruction circuit 4 while maintaining the elevated temperature of the bathroom after the mist operation, and the ventilation fan 5, the exhaust damper 6, the heat exchanger 103, and the blower 109 are driven to forcibly. By operating ventilation and drying for t2 hours, the humidity in the bathroom decreases. Thereafter, the operation is stopped by a stop operation mode signal from the operation control instruction circuit 4 for t3 hours, and the behavior of temperature and humidity in the bathroom is measured. During this time, water vapor is generated from the water droplets adhering to the wall surface, and the water droplets on the wall surface evaporate as the temperature in the wall surface / bathroom decreases, and the output conversion value of the humidity detection sensor means 11 in the bathroom gradually increases. Thereafter, a ventilation operation mode signal is sent from the operation control instruction circuit 4 to ventilate, and the heat accumulated on the bathroom wall surface causes the air that is drier than the air condition to flow into the bathroom, effectively drying the bathroom wall surface. Over time, the air temperature and humidity, which are summer conditions, and the temperature detection sensor means 10 and the humidity detection sensor means 11 in the bathroom have the same value. Thus, after drying, it is possible to evaporate water droplets on the wall surface by a pattern of stopping and ventilating once. Further, the generation of water vapor from the water droplets on the wall surface is detected by the temperature detection sensor means 10 and the humidity detection sensor means 11, and the temperature as the output conversion value of the attic air temperature detection means 7 and the output conversion value of the temperature detection sensor means 10 are used. When a certain temperature reaches an equilibrium state, it can be detected that water vapor is no longer generated from water droplets on the bathroom wall surface, and thereafter, the growth of mold is suppressed by maintaining the inside of the bathroom in the mold suppression range at temperature and humidity.

  In this way, it is possible to efficiently detect the evaporation of water droplets on the bathroom wall surface by efficiently utilizing the heat of the bathroom wall surface. Of course, this means uses the temperature stored on the wall surface in the bathroom, and does not use much energy for drying.

  In addition, by evaporating the water droplets on the wall surface, the nutrient source is cut off to mold that does not directly adhere to soap scum or sebum, and the spread of propagation can be suppressed.

  That is, it goes without saying that by removing water droplets on the bathroom wall surface, it becomes easy to directly provide a temperature and humidity range that suppresses mold growth even for mold directly attached to soap scum or sebum.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the temperature in the bathroom at the time of mist operation is as high as 45 ° C., and it goes without saying that it is a temperature that suppresses the growth of mold growing at low temperatures.

  Moreover, water droplets on the bathroom wall surface can be evaporated by extending t2 for a long time. However, in order to use energy excessively, changes at a higher temperature with higher humidity than air conditions before mist operation after stopping are detected. This is an effective means.

  As an example, the summer air condition is used. However, when the air is constantly ventilated, the temperature detection sensor means 10 and the humidity detection sensor means 11 in the mist generating and drying circulation box 3 are used for the bathroom air before the sauna operation. The temperature and humidity, that is, the temperature and humidity of the air ventilated from the dressing room are measured and sent to the operation control instruction circuit 4. The air condition before the mist operation is detected as the initial temperature and humidity, and the water droplets on the wall surface can be evaporated by the same operation pattern.

  Moreover, although it was set as the time of mist generation as an example, the temperature / humidity in a bathroom also rises at the time of bathing, and it is possible to evaporate the water droplet on a wall surface similarly.

  Next, operation control means for setting the temperature and humidity at which mold does not propagate will be described.

  The mold-suppressing operation is performed under a condition that determines the season and suppresses the mold that propagates every season.

  As an example of operating conditions, when the humidity is high during the rainy season and the temperature is high, the mist sauna device is operated after the mist sauna operation in order to suppress mold that tends to breed at medium temperatures such as aureobasidium. Water droplets on the ceiling, walls, and floor in the bathroom as well as in the main body of 1 are evaporated. After evaporation, in order to suppress mold remaining on the ceiling, wall surface, and floor, the operation mode is switched to the drying operation mode again to remove moisture on the mold surface. After that, the ventilation operation mode is automatically switched so that the temperature and humidity in the bathroom and the room are the same.

  After evaporating the water droplets on the wall surface by this operation control means, it becomes possible to give temperature and humidity directly to the mold spores in contact with the soap cake and sebum, thereby suppressing the growth of mold.

  Furthermore, it is possible to determine the middle, summer, winter, and rainy season in advance from the temperature and humidity of the constant ventilation, and to determine the mold suppression operation after removing water droplets on the wall surface.

  FIG. 4 shows a mold suppression operation at temperature and humidity using an air diagram. FIG. 4 shows an example during summer conditions. Before the sauna operation, the bathroom is hot and humid in the rainy season in the summer, and the bathroom after the sauna operation is in the hot and humid state of the sauna operation. Then, after the water droplets on the wall evaporate, the bathroom returns to the temperature and humidity of the rainy season in summer. In this state, it goes without saying that mold spores in contact with soap candy and sebum propagate. Therefore, in the summer and rainy season conditions, the operation pattern is controlled so that the temperature and humidity are in the bathroom drying area that suppresses mold. Then, the mold is temporarily reduced to the controlled temperature and humidity so that the mold is damaged to the mycelia and spores and then returned to the indoor temperature and humidity.

  When the air condition is 25 ° C. and the humidity is 75% RH or more, the operation described in the above example is performed to suppress the growth of mold in the bathroom, keep the bathroom clean, and reduce the frequency of cleaning in the bathroom. It has the effect of reducing.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, the optimum temperature and the maximum temperature of the mold that propagates in the bathroom are shown.

  In summer, as a mold in the rainy season, as aureobasidium, as a mold in the middle to winter, the former and Cladosporidium are targeted.

  From the optimum temperature, it can be seen that the mold that is easy to propagate in the bathroom varies from season to season. Further, in the intermediate period, the mold shown in FIG. 5 propagates, but it can be seen that the mold growth is suppressed by raising the temperature once to the maximum temperature. In winter, after removing water droplets on the wall surface, the room temperature is lowered by ventilating with room air, and the temperature becomes lower than the optimum temperature, and mold growth can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the humidity of the mold that propagates in the bathroom and the humidity that does not propagate. In order to confirm the influence of humidity, spores of each mold are prepared, and mold spores are mixed with egg yolk to prepare a mold spore solution. The prepared mold spore solution is applied to gauze and the gauze surface is dried. The gauze coated with the dried mold spore solution is left in a constant temperature and humidity condition of 25 ° C., 40% RH and 25 ° C., 80% RH for 5 days to confirm the growth of the mold. When the humidity is 80% RH, reproduction is confirmed in all molds, and at 40% RH, it is confirmed that all molds do not propagate. It can be seen that by reducing the humidity to 40% RH or less, mold growth is suppressed. Moreover, in winter, indoor humidity falls and it becomes the range which does not reproduce, and it becomes possible to suppress mold reproduction by indoor air.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, it is possible to know the types of molds that are likely to propagate in the bathroom every season, and it is possible to set the temperature and humidity to suppress the propagation.

  In general, it is said that mold is propagated at a humidity of 75% RH. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the growth of mold within a temperature of 25 ° C. and humidity of 75% RH. However, in the summer and the rainy season, the environment exceeds the temperature of 25 ° C. and humidity of 75% RH. It is necessary to increase or decrease the humidity, and it is possible to suppress the growth of mold by raising the temperature in the bathroom above the maximum mold temperature or by reducing the humidity to 40% RH or less. .

  As shown in FIG. 7, mold growth results are shown when 22 hours is left to stand at a temperature of 25 ° C. and a humidity of 80% RH, and left at a temperature of 35 ° C. and a humidity of 40% RH for 2 hours.

  By maintaining the temperature rise and humidity drop state for each mold for 2 hours, it is possible to suppress mold growth.

  Further, as the temperature detection sensor means 10, there is one that measures the surface temperature with infrared rays or the like, but when condensation occurs, the surface temperature may not be measured, and a thermocouple with water resistance that allows water droplets to flow easily is used. Better to do.

  The humidity detection sensor means 11 includes a polymer humidity sensor. As the humidity detection sensor means 11, there are lithium chloride, ceramic, etc. as the material. However, there is a case where the moisture is not measured due to the condensation with the material, and the humidity detection sensor means using a polymer is used. Better.

  Moreover, although the output conversion value of the temperature detection sensor means 10 is shown in the above content, it is only necessary to detect the temperature in the bathroom as the temperature detection sensor means. Needless to say, a coefficient × correction value or the like is required for the actual temperature detection sensor means output, and it can be easily created by using the lower limit and the upper limit for 5 to 60 degrees that are actually used.

  Moreover, although the output conversion value of the humidity detection sensor means 11 is shown in the above contents, the humidity detection sensor means 11 only needs to detect the humidity necessary for water droplet removal and mold suppression. When measuring RH, a coefficient x correction value, etc. is required for the actual humidity detection sensor means output, and it can be easily created by using the lower limit and upper limit for 40 degrees to 80% RH actually used. Needless to say.

  Moreover, by drying the inside of the mist sauna device and providing a drying step in the temperature detection sensor means 10 and the humidity detection sensor means 11, it is possible to prevent the adhesion of water droplets on the surface of each means and to accurately measure the temperature and humidity in the bathroom. Needless to say.

  Using the mold prevention function attached to the mist sauna device, the bathroom can be easily kept clean, and it can be used as a clothes dryer that suppresses mold growth even when drying clothes in the bathroom. Is also applicable.
