Are provided in partition booths 12, 12,. In particular, the floor 11 of the shower room 1 is made of a strong and hard material such as concrete, so that a wheelchair can enter and exit, and further, a disabled person can use the shower unit 13 while riding on a wheelchair in the partition booth 12. It is configured as follows. The hot water of the shower unit 13 may be normal hot water or hot spring water. 14 is the curtain of the partition booth 12, and 15 is the entrance / exit of the shower room. A changing room 3 is provided adjacent to the shower room 1. The changing room 3 is provided with a wheelchair riding floor 31 and is provided with a locker 32 and a wheelchair toilet 33. The changing room 3 is provided with a clog box 34 and an entrance / exit 35. There are paving stone blocks at the 35 entrances / exits, but, of course, it is constructed so as not to hinder the wheelchair.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the thermal chamber 2 is configured by dividing a wheelchair-occupied bathing floor portion 21 and a medicinal stone layer portion 22 by a partition rising wall 23. The wheelchair-occupied bathing floor portion 21 is at a height position that is several tens of centimeters below the surface height of the drug stone layer portion 22, and is the same (substantially the same) as the floor 11 of the shower chamber 1. .) Square-shaped paving stone blocks 21a, 21a,... Are spread in the position, forming a flat floor, regardless of the position of the wheelchair on which the disabled person rides. It is configured so that it can be placed in a stable state.

  Furthermore, the specific structure of the wheelchair-riding bathing floor 21 is provided with a lower drug stone layer portion 21b made of the same drug stone as the drug stone layer portion 22 below the paving stone blocks 21a, 21a,. More specifically, the paving stone blocks 21a, 21a,... Are arranged on a lower mesolithic layer portion 21b laid down with a predetermined thickness (about 10 to 15 cm), so that a wheelchair can be stably used. It is like that. The important point is that mineral minerals, negative ions and far-infrared rays are generated from the lower mesolithic layer 21b and the hot spring water through the gap between the paving stone blocks 21a, 21a,.

  The mesolithic layer 22 is composed of germanium stone, tourmaline stone, barley stone, Changshu limestone, positive rock, rhyolite, flower storm rock, basalt, amphibolite, etc., and these are mixed as fine particles Layer. Its thickness is about 20 cm to about 40 cm. This thickness is spread on the concrete layer portion 24 having a step. In the lower position, the lower stone layer portion 21b is spread below the stone blocks 21a, 21a,.

  A hot water pipe 4 for heating connected to a boiler 5 provided outdoors is embedded in the drug stone layer portion 22, the lower drug stone layer portion 21 b and the concrete layer portion 24. In general, the hot water pipe 4 is formed in an upper and lower triple type as a whole, and the upper single is embedded in an intermediate position (in the height direction) between the drug stone layer portion 22 and the lower drug stone layer portion 21b. The lower double is embedded in the concrete layer portion 24. In addition, the partition rising wall 23 is formed as a continuous wall, and the hot water pipe 4 is configured to penetrate the paving stone blocks 21a, 21a,... And the lower mesolithic layer portion 21b. . In the figure, reference numeral 25 denotes a heating chamber entrance / exit.

  In the hot water pipe 4 configured as described above, the hot water heated by the boiler 5 circulates in the hot water pipe 4 and heats the medicinal stone layer portion 22, the lower medicinal stone layer portion 21b, and the concrete layer portion 24. As a result, the heating chamber 2 can be heated. Furthermore, the hot spring water leaching pipe 6 is embedded in the mesolithic layer portion 22, one end thereof is opened so as to be submerged in the mesolithic layer portion 22, and the other end is provided in a hot spring water storage tank 7 provided outside. The hot spring water is connected and is gradually leached when using the stone bath, and the hot spring water that has permeated is heated to become steam and fill the hot chamber 2. In particular, the room temperature of the hot chamber 2 is maintained at about 45 ° C. by heating with the hot water pipe 4 and the hot spring water itself from the hot spring water leaching pipe 6, and the mesolithic layer portion 22 and the lower mesolithic layer. The hot spring water soaked in the part 21b evaporates.

  In the present invention, the hot spring steam is not mere hot spring steam but becomes finely divided hot spring steam. For this reason, it is easy to enter the body from the skin. Furthermore, by filling the thermal chamber 2 with hot spring steam, the mineral mineral contained in the finely divided hot spring water penetrates well into the body, and the fine particles of medicinal stones are spread on the floor, so that negative ions When taking a bath in the hot chamber 2 by emitting far infrared rays, it acts on the body more effectively than a hot spring bath or a sauna. In other words, the generation of minerals and minerals, the generation of negative ions and far-infrared rays, and the like are extremely effective.

  The paving stone block 21a is made of the same material as the stones of the drug stone layer portion 22 and the lower drug stone layer portion 21b. Furthermore, the medicinal stones of the medicinal stone layer portion 22 and the lower medicinal stone layer portion 21b may be formed in a block shape such as several tens of cm 2, that is, a rock shape. Mineral minerals are also generated in the block-shaped paving stone block 21a, the drug stone layer portion 22 and the lower drug stone layer portion 21b. In addition, the hot spring water storage tank 7 may contain simple hot water.

The operation of the present invention will be described.
First, a caregiver enters the changing room 3 along with a disabled person in a wheelchair. At this time, the caregiver changes clothes such as nightclothes and samurai clothing that can be used by disabled people in wheelchairs. In addition, the caregiver changes clothes as well. The disabled person and the caregiver enter the heating chamber 2 at about 45 ° C. At this time, both take sufficient mineral water during bathing. This is also because the sweating action becomes active in the hot chamber 2 at about 45 ° C., and water is replenished for further activation.

  And not only the caregiver on the medicinal stone layer part 22 in the thermal chamber 2, but also the disabled person who rides in the wheelchair in the thermal chamber 2 of about 45 ° C. that is filled with hot spring water mineral particles, the bathing floor for riding in the wheelchair Also underneath 21, negative ions and far infrared rays are generated by the lower mesolithic layer portion 21 b of the lower mesolithic layer portion 21 b by the hot water pipe 4, and the disabled and caregivers open all sweat glands of the body and have a surprising sweating effect. There is a lot of sweat, and the dirt on the body also flows down with the sweat.

  In this thermal chamber 2, the mineral minerals contained in the refined hot spring water penetrate well into the body, and the fine granules of the medicinal stone layer are laid on the floor to release the negative ions and far infrared rays Can penetrate well into the body and promote the health of both handicapped and caregivers. Such an amazing sweating effect has the greatest advantage that the caregiver can comfortably bathe the disabled without having to service the disabled. In addition, caregivers can take advantage of bathing while taking care. Furthermore, bathing by ordinary care is a tough job that requires labor and labor, but the wheelchair-adaptive hot bath device according to the present invention allows a caregiver to take a bath while taking care. It is a device that can greatly relieve the fatigue of the elderly and is very pleased.

  Even if a disabled person wants to get on the mesolithic layer portion 22 instead of just getting on the wheelchair, he can get off the wheelchair and easily transfer onto the mesolithic layer portion 22. That is, in the present invention, the height of the drug stone layer portion 22 is configured to be several tens of centimeters higher than the surface of the wheelchair riding bathing floor portion 21, so that it can be easily moved from the wheelchair. In particular, the upper end of the partition rising wall 23 is formed of a wooden handrail material 23a (see FIG. 5A), a soft synthetic resin handrail material 23a (see FIG. 5B), or a foamed synthetic material. In the case of the handrail material 23a made of a resin material (see FIG. 5C), the caregiver and the handicapped can safely and safely transfer onto the mesolithic layer portion 22. After moving to the medicinal stone layer 22, it is possible to bathe in a more comfortable posture (lie down). In this way, disabled persons and caregivers in the thermal chamber 2 can use the shower unit 13 of the shower room 1 after removing a large amount of sweat to remove the sweat in the body and make it refreshing and extremely comfortable. .

  As mentioned above, in the thermal bath device for wheelchairs as a dedicated bath for wheelchair users using ore baths and bedrock baths, room temperature is about 45 degrees, and disabled people stay in wheelchairs, mineral mineral particles, inas ions and far infrared rays etc. You can sweat a lot and improve your health. Furthermore, in the past, the handicapped person had the biggest drawback that he could not take a bath without taking 2 or 3 people to take a bath. It can make you feel more refreshing than general bathing, and because the interior is full of minerals, even for people who are ill, you can bathe without age restrictions.

  The present invention allows you to take a bath in a wheelchair, take a bath with one person's hand, and easily give another handicapped hot spring to a disabled person. Unlike a sauna, it has a low temperature. Since it can be bathed without restrictions, it can be extremely useful in our future welfare policy.
