  With the above configuration, since the length L1 of the first horizontal plate 9 and the length L2 of the second horizontal plate 10 satisfy L1> L2, the second horizontal plate is operated during each operation such as mist sauna, heating, and drying. The flap 8 rotates and opens without colliding with the nozzle 7 provided inside the blower outlet 4, and mist spray and hot air can be blown into the bathroom. Since the length L1 of the first horizontal plate 9 is L3 ≧ L1, the flap 8 rotates to conceal the nozzle 7 at the time of each operation stop and ventilation operation such as mist sauna, heating, and drying. Since the first horizontal plate 9 of the flap 8 is flush with the surface of the decorative panel 3, the design of the decorative panel 3 is not impaired and the appearance is improved.

In the non-adjacent portion 21, there is no inclination of the downstream portion 17 of the second horizontal plate 10, and the pressure loss when passing through the flap 8 does not increase. The spraying direction of the mist sprayed from the nozzle 7 can be changed following the above direction.

(Embodiment 3)
As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the vertical plate 22 constituting the flap 8 is a vertical plate 22a, a vertical plate 22b, a vertical plate 22c, a vertical plate 22d, a vertical plate 22e, and a vertical plate 22f, of which, The downstream end 23a and the downstream end 23f of each of the vertical plate 22a and the vertical plate 22f corresponding to the outermost part of the air path are configured to be expanded in a substantially arc shape toward the outside of the flap 8.

  With the above configuration, when the air in the bathroom passes through the air passage constituted by the vertical plates 22 of the flap 8, the downstream end 23a and the downstream end of the vertical plate 22a and the vertical plate 22f which are the outermost portions of the air passage, respectively. Since 23f has a shape gradually expanding in a substantially arc shape toward the outside of the flap 8, the blown airflow passing through the air passage is blown out while expanding along the vertical plate 22a and the vertical plate 22f. For this reason, the width of the blown airflow is expanded, and the blown airflow can be diffused uniformly in the bathroom. At this time, during the mist sauna operation in which hot water or cold water mist is sprayed from the nozzle 7 located in the vicinity of the flap 8 inside the blowout port 4, the blowout airflow is attracted by the blowout airflow that is blown out while spreading. Following the widening of the width, the mist can be evenly diffused in the bathroom. Also, during heating operation without spraying mist or during drying operation, the blowing width of the blowing airflow is expanded and blown into the bathroom, so that the temperature distribution in the bathroom can be made uniform during heating, and it can be expanded during drying. The drying time of the clothes and clothes in the bathroom can be shortened by the air flow blown out.

  Further, the vertical plate 22 a constituting the flap 8 is divided into an upstream portion 24 a and a downstream portion 23 a, and the upstream portion 24 a is fixed to the first horizontal plate 9 and the second horizontal plate 10 constituting the flap 8. The downstream portion 23a is connected to the upstream portion 24a by a rotating body 25 having a rotating shaft 25 rotatable in the horizontal direction. Similarly to the vertical plate 22a, the vertical plate 22f is divided into an upstream portion 24f and a downstream portion 23f, and the upstream portion 24f is fixed to the first horizontal plate 9 and the second horizontal plate 10 constituting the flap 8, and is downstream. The part 23f is constituted by a rotating body 25 having a rotating shaft 25 that can rotate in the horizontal direction.

  With the above configuration, the upstream portion 24a and the upstream portion 24f of the vertical plate 22a and the vertical plate 22f constituting the air path of the flap 8 are fixed to the first horizontal plate 9 and the second horizontal plate 10 constituting the flap 8, respectively. Since the downstream portion 23a and the downstream portion 23f are connected to each other by the rotation shaft 25a and the rotation shaft 25f that can rotate in the horizontal direction, the downstream portion 23a and the downstream portion 23f are each oriented at an arbitrary angle in the horizontal direction. Can be changed, and the blowout width of the blowout airflow can be varied. Therefore, if the angle is set so that the downstream portion 23a and the downstream portion 23f face the inside of the air passage during the mist sauna operation, the blowing width of the blowing airflow can be reduced, and the width of the mist sprayed from the nozzle 7 is also reduced. Since it can be narrowed following the width of the blown airflow, mist spot spraying can be performed. On the other hand, if the angles are set so that the downstream portion 23a and the downstream portion 23f face the outside of the air path, the width of the blown air flow blown along the vertical plate 22a and the vertical plate 22f is expanded, and the spray from the nozzle 7 is performed. Since the width | variety of the mist to be performed can also be expanded following the width | variety of a blowing airflow, the wide spraying of mist will be performed.

  In addition, although the vertical plate 22 that can change the direction at an arbitrary angle in the horizontal direction is limited to the two outermost plates constituting the air path, the vertical plate 22 can be configured to change the direction at an arbitrary angle in the horizontal direction. There is no change in its effects.

  The mist sauna apparatus according to the present invention can also be applied to an air conditioning apparatus in which a heating apparatus and a humidifying apparatus are integrally provided, or to the field of growing and storing animals and plants that require temperature and humidity control.
