I had it. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)
Japanese Patent No. 3671202

  By the way, with this conventional one, the water droplets blown to the outer periphery of the porous body collide with the outer wall, and the sound at the time of this collision becomes noise and comes out of the device, resulting in a loud sound and a feeling of use. It got worse and could not withstand long-term use.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is particularly configured as claimed in claim 1, wherein a processing chamber through which outside air flowing in from an air supply port passes, and a predetermined amount of water provided in a lower portion of the processing chamber can be stored. Water storage part, a cylindrical rotating body whose lower part is submerged in this water storage part, and the water and air that are located on the outer periphery of the rotating body and rotate with the rotating body and scattered by the centrifugal force due to this rotation pass An air guide tube for guiding outside air flowing from above the rotating body to the outer periphery of the porous body at an interval on the outer periphery of the porous body. Furthermore, the outer wall of the air guide tube is provided with a silencer.

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, the muffling means is composed of a vibration-proof rubber attached to the outer wall of the air guide tube.

  According to claim 1 of the present invention, since the sound deadening means is applied to the outer wall of the air guide tube that hits the outer periphery of the porous body, without affecting the water droplets that hit the air guide tube and splash, Since it can mute only the sound when a water droplet hits the air guide tube, it does not reverberate out of the device as noise, it is easy to use and can withstand long-term use. Since it does not affect the production of negative ions, it can form a good atmosphere full of nanomist and negative ions as usual.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the silencer is made of a vibration-proof rubber attached to the outer wall of the air guide tube, so that the silencer can be applied very easily. There is no need to add, and it is possible to obtain a large effect while being inexpensive.

After removing bacteria, the heated nano mist and negative ions are supplied to the sauna room 2 from the discharge port 5 formed below the bench 3, and the sauna room 2 is used at a room temperature of 38 to 40 ° C. by repeating this sequentially. The atmosphere is used in a low-temperature sauna with a humidity of 90% or more.

  6 is a water storage part for storing a certain amount of water supplied from a water supply pipe 8 provided with an automatic water supply valve 7, and is mounted horizontally in a M shape in plan view with a single-phase 200V, 2KW near the bottom under the water surface. A heater 10 having three character portions 9 is provided, and the stored water is heated to 46 ° C. to 48 ° C., and a drain pipe 13 provided with an overflow pipe 11 and an automatic drain valve 12 is communicated with one side wall. All water is drained at the end of the sauna while maintaining a constant water level.

  Reference numeral 14 denotes a partition wall that partitions the inside of the water storage section 6 into two chambers, a treatment chamber 15 and a separation chamber 16. The lower end is bent at the separation chamber 16 side, and the communication path 17 between the water surface is lowered to the vicinity of the water surface. It also serves as a gas-liquid separator that hits and drops large mist in the air from the chamber 15 toward the separation chamber 16 against the water surface.

  In the processing chamber 15, a bowl-shaped rotator 21 is connected to a support shaft 20 of a rotation motor 19 fixed to the lid 18 of the water storage unit 6, and the lower part is submerged and the diameter increases upward. The rotary body 21 is suspended in the inverted U-shaped portion 9 farthest from the water supply pipe 8 of the heater 10, and the rotating body 21 is rotated by driving by the rotating motor 19 and is heated by the centrifugal force. Fresh hot water is sucked up along the front surface and rather the back surface, and scattered around the plurality of pores 22 formed at the upper end.

  Further, the separation chamber 16 is attached with a first baffle plate 23 in which the lower end of the partition wall 14 is inclined and bent toward the lower side of the separation chamber 16, and a side wall facing the partition wall 14 with an inclination downward. Further, meandering passages 25 are formed in the center portion from the lower communication passage 17 to the upper discharge port 5 so as to protrude alternately with the second baffle plates 24.

  26 is a cylindrical porous body that is located on the outer periphery of the rotating body 21 with a predetermined interval and rotates together with the rotating body 21. Water and air are scattered by centrifugal force generated by the rotation, and formed on the entire peripheral wall. The porous portion 27 made of a large number of slits, wire mesh, punching metal, etc. is passed or crushed by crushing to produce fine water particles to generate nanomist, and Leonard by refining the water particles The effect is to generate negative ions.

  Reference numeral 28 denotes an elliptical air guide cylinder covering the porous body 26, and a pair of large flow passages 29, 29 and a pair of small flow passages 30, 30 are formed between the cylindrical porous body 26. As described above, the blower 32 is provided on the inner lid 31 that closes the upper side of the processing chamber 15 and includes a cross flow fan provided at a position where the separation chamber 16 and the discharge port 5 communicate with each other at the upper portion of the separation chamber 16. By driving, the air in the sauna chamber 2 sucked from the air supply port 33 between the lid 18 and the inner lid 31 through the suction duct 4 is caused to flow into the air guide tube 28 from above the rotating body 21. In addition to increasing the number of times the water particles are crushed, the negative charge of the air is also increased. As a result, a large amount of nano mist and negative ions can be generated. 7000 pieces / It was detected C.

  34 is an anti-vibration rubber constituting a sound deadening means applied to the outer wall of the air guide tube 28, and is attached to the outer wall all week with a thickness of 1 mm to 3 mm. The air guide tube 28 hits the inner wall and scatters, but the sound when this water droplet hits is high in the thin steel plate air guide tube 28. By increasing the thickness and protecting it with something elastic, it can be changed to a sound that is full of bass, and without affecting the inner wall of the air guide tube 28 where water drops actually hit, It is inexpensive and can be easily silenced.

  Reference numeral 35 denotes a float type water level sensor provided at the bottom of the water storage unit 6. When the water level of the water storage unit 6 drops to a predetermined water level at which the heater 10 is not exposed on the water surface, the automatic water supply valve 7 is opened to a constant water level. Water is supplied and the reservoir 6 is always kept at a constant water level during sauna operation.

Reference numeral 36 denotes a water storage temperature sensor provided at a predetermined water level on the lower outer wall of the water storage section 6, which turns on the heater 10 when the water storage temperature is 46 ° C., and turns it off at 48 ° C. and holds it at a predetermined temperature.
37 is a heating prevention sensor which is also provided at a predetermined water level on the lower outer wall of the water storage unit 6, and when the water storage unit 6 is in an abnormal heating state, all driving is stopped to ensure safety.

  38 is a ventilation fan for ventilating the sauna room 2, 39 is a door for entering and exiting the sauna room 2, and a viewing window 40 is provided above.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described.
By turning on an operation switch (not shown) of an operation unit (not shown) provided in the vicinity of the sauna room 2, the sauna operation is started and the automatic water supply valve 7 is first opened and is empty from the water supply pipe 8. When water is supplied to the water storage section 6 and stored (6L) to a certain water level, the water level sensor 35 detects and the automatic water supply valve 7 is turned off to terminate the water supply, but until the sauna operation ends thereafter. Automatic water replenishment by the water level sensor 35 is performed.

  Then, the heater 10 is turned on to start warming of the water in the water storage unit 6, and when the water reaches 30 ° C. where the temperature has risen to some extent, the rotation motor 19 and the blower 32 start to drive, and the rotating body 21 is rotating in the processing chamber 15, so that the surface and the back surface of the lower end submerged in the water are more abundant, and the hot water rises along the surface. Part of the water collides with the rotating porous body 26 rotating at the same time, and the water particles are crushed. The other part passes through the porous portion 24 together with air, and the air guide tube 28 on the outer periphery of the porous body 26. By colliding with the inner wall of the water, the water particles are similarly crushed, so that a mist including nano mist and large mist is generated, and the air is negatively charged by the pulverization of the particles to generate negative ions.

  Further, a collision sound is generated when a water droplet collides with the inner wall of the air guide tube 28. However, since a vibration-proof rubber 34 is attached to the outer wall of the air guide tube 28 as a sound deadening means, The bumping sound is a low-pitched sound. Moreover, the warm water in the water storage part 6 is also stirred to some extent, and has the effect of making the whole temperature uniform.

  On the other hand, air in the sauna chamber 2 flows from the air supply port 33 through the suction duct 4 by driving the blower 32, and is guided to the air guide cylinder 28 from above the rotating rotator 21 and into the processing chamber 15. At this time, a pair of large flow passages 29, 29 and a pair of small flow passages 30, 30 are formed between the cylindrical porous body 26 and the elliptical air guide tube 28, By circulating air here, a pressure difference is generated from Bernoulli's theorem, and the flow of air from the high flow passage 29, 29 side where pressure is high to the small flow passage 30, 30 side where pressure is low is generated and turbulent flow occurs. Large mist easily falls and only fine nano mist exists, and a lot of air comes into contact with negatively charged water particles, so that a large amount of negative ions can be obtained. When the dust and bacteria contained in the air Was dropped into water is surrounded by more than mist Nanomisuto, that it remains in the water, but also air cleaning are performed simultaneously, the air purifier are intended to be performed satisfactorily become air turbulence.

  Furthermore, the air that rises in temperature due to hot water mist and contains negative ions is a downward flow that passes through the communication passage 17 below the partition wall 14, and the large mist falls into the water under its own weight and rises in the subsequent separation chamber 16. The mist of nano mist or more remaining in the process of hitting first hits the first baffle plate 23 at the lower end of the partition wall 14 and grows and falls into a large mist, and then falls while circulating through the meandering path 25. That hits the baffle plate 24, grows and drops into the last large mist, circulates through the meandering path 25 again, and finally is discharged from the discharge port 5 into the sauna room 2 through the blower 32 It is.

  As a result, the release of large mist is surely prevented, and only the ultrafine nano mist and negative ions due to negatively charged air are released from the discharge port, so there is no worry about the floor and walls being painted, and it can be used with confidence. A good atmosphere full of nanomist and negative ions can be formed.

  Further, by providing the air guide cylinder 28 with the anti-vibration rubber 34 as a silencer, the impact sound of the water droplets on the inner wall of the air guide cylinder 28 becomes a low-pitched sound, so that it leaks out of the apparatus. Since it is no longer affected by noise and reverberation itself, it is easy to use and can withstand long-term use, and the inner wall of the air guide tube 28 does not change at all. The production of negative ions is performed as usual.

  Furthermore, if this is a low temperature sauna, the temperature in the sauna room 2 is gradually raised by a circulation method, and a room temperature of 38 ° C. to 40 ° C. in 30 minutes and a low temperature sauna use atmosphere full of negative ions with a relative humidity of 90% or more with nano mist, Bathing for more than 20 minutes is possible, and water molecule-added negative ion molecules act directly on the skin and open the sweat glands, making it easier to sweat and sweating away the waste products in the body. In addition, negative ions sucked from the lungs enter the blood, and their reduction action prevents the oxidation of the blood to make it smooth, and improves circulation and spreads blood to the peripheral blood vessels. It is thought that discipline can be eased.

  In addition, negative ions have fatigue recovery effects, mental stability effects, blood purification effects, resistance enhancement effects, autonomic nerve adjustment effects, etc., and nano mist spreads to every corner of the air to suppress dirty air and bacteria. However, it still decomposes and has a deodorizing effect, dust removing effect, disinfecting effect, and of course a humidifying effect. This humidification is smooth and moist air with no stickiness, and it penetrates through the pores. It has the effect of keeping the hair moisturized, and the release of a large amount of negative ions and nanomist capable of obtaining these effects also increases these effects.

  Next, when the operation switch is turned off when the sauna operation ends, the automatic water supply valve 7 of the water supply pipe 8 is closed, the heater 10 is turned off, the rotation motor 19 and the blower 32 are stopped, and the automatic drain valve 12 is stopped. The sauna operation is ended by opening all the residual water in the water storage section 6 from the drain pipe 13.

  In this way, the hot water heated by the inverted U-shaped portion 9 of the heater 10 and heated to the upper part flows into the upper part where the lower part of the rotating body 21 is submerged. The mist is sucked up and struck against the porous body 26 to generate nano mist by crushing, and the air passing through the crushing is negatively charged, and at the same time, negative ions are also generated. From the early stage of heating, nano mist and negative ions are generated and supplied to the sauna room 2 to reduce the waiting time, making the sauna room 2 ready for use in a short time. It is good and you can always enjoy a low temperature sauna.

  Furthermore, since there are three inverted U-shaped portions 9 of the heater 10, there is a degree of freedom in the mounting position of the rotating body 21, and the same effect can be obtained regardless of where the rotating body 21 is mounted. Good effect can be obtained without being affected by cold water the further away.
