  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 and 2 are plan views of a wheelchair-compatible hot bath apparatus according to the present invention. The main configuration is that a shower / chamber room 11 for wheelchairs is provided in the hot room 1. The wall and ceiling of the thermal chamber 1 are made of reinforced concrete, mortar, or a moisture-proof member. In the shower combined room 11, shower portions 11b, 11b,... Are provided on the walls of partition portions 11a, 11a,. Further, Western-style toilets 11c, 11c,... Are provided in the partition portions 11a, 11a,. The floor of the shower combined room 11 is configured as a wheelchair-occupied bathing floor 12.

  Adhesive layer 13 is provided adjacent to wheelchair bathing floor 12. The wheelchair riding bath floor 12 and the drug stone layer 13 are separated by a partition rising wall 14. The warming chamber 1 is constituted by the wheelchair passenger bathing floor 12 and the drug stone layer 13. The wheelchair-riding bathing floor 12 is made of a strong and hard material such as concrete, so that the wheelchair can go in and out, and further, a disabled person can use the shower 11b while riding in a wheelchair in the partition 11a. It is configured. The hot water in the shower part 11b may be normal hot water or hot spring water.

  The wheelchair-occupied bathing floor 12 is at a height that is several tens of centimeters below the surface of the drug stone layer 13, and is square (rectangular) as the floor of the shower / compartment room 11. In some cases, rectangular paving stone blocks 12a, 12a,... Are spread out to form a flat floor so that the wheelchair on which the handicapped rides can be placed stably in any position. A changing room 2 is provided adjacent to the heating room 1 having the shower combined room 11. The changing room 2 is provided with a wheelchair riding floor 21 and is provided with a locker 22 and a wheelchair toilet 23. The changing room 2 is provided with a clog box 24 and a front door 25. There are paving stone blocks at the 25 entrances / exits, but, of course, it is configured so as not to hinder the wheelchair.

  Furthermore, the specific structure of the wheelchair riding bathing floor 12 is provided with a lower drug stone layer portion 15 made of the same drug stone as the drug stone layer portion 13 below the paving stone blocks 12a, 12a,. More specifically, the paving stone blocks 12a, 12a,... Are arranged on the lower mesolithic layer 15 paved with a predetermined thickness (about 10 to 15 cm), so that the 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 15 and the hot spring water through the gaps between the paving stone blocks 12a, 12a,.

  The medicinal stone layer portion 13 is composed of germanium stone, tourmaline stone, barley stone, olivine 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 16 having a step. In the lower position, the lower stone layer portion 15 is laid under the paving stone blocks 12a, 12a,.

  A hot water pipe 3 for heating connected to a boiler 4 provided outdoors is embedded in the drug stone layer portion 13, the lower drug stone layer portion 15 and the concrete layer portion 16. In general, the hot water pipe 3 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 13 and the lower drug stone layer portion 15. The lower double is embedded in the concrete layer portion 16. Moreover, although the said partition rising wall 14 is formed as a continuous wall, it is comprised so that the said hot water pipe 3 may penetrate in the said cobblestone blocks 12a, 12a, ... and the said lower mesolithic layer part 15 places. . In the figure, reference numeral 18 denotes a heating chamber entrance / exit.

  In the hot water pipe 3 configured in this manner, the hot water heated by the boiler 4 circulates in the hot water pipe 3 to heat the medicinal stone layer portion 13, the lower medicinal stone layer portion 15 and the concrete layer portion 16. As a result, the inside of the heating chamber 1 can be heated. Furthermore, the hot spring water leaching pipe 5 is embedded in the mesolithic layer 13 and the lower mesolithic layer 15, and the branching portion 5 a and one end (on the left side in FIG. 3) are the mesolithic layer 13 and the lower medicinal stone. The other end (right side in FIG. 3) is opened to soak in the layer portion 15, and is connected to the hot spring water storage tank 6 provided outside, and the hot spring water is gradually leached when using the stone bath. The permeated hot spring water is heated to become steam and fills the hot chamber 1. In particular, the room temperature of the thermal chamber 1 is maintained at about 45 ° C. by heating with the hot water pipe 3 and heating of the hot spring water itself from the hot spring water leaching pipe 5, and the mesolithic layer portion 13 and the lower mesolithic layer. The hot spring water soaked in part 15 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 1 with hot spring steam, the mineral mineral contained in the finely divided hot spring water penetrates well into the body, and the fine stone particles are spread on the floor, so that negative ions When taking a bath in the warm room 1 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 12 a is made of the same material as the stones of the drug stone layer portion 13 and the lower drug stone layer portion 15. Furthermore, the medicinal stones of the medicinal stone layer portion 13 and the lower medicinal stone layer portion 15 may be formed in a block shape such as several tens of cm 2, that is, in a rock shape. Mineral minerals are also generated in the block-shaped paving stone block 12a, the mesolithic layer portion 13 and the lower mesolithic layer portion 15. The hot spring water storage tank 6 may be filled with simple hot water.

  The operation of the present invention will be described. First, a caregiver enters the changing room 2 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 persons in wheelchairs. In addition, the caregiver changes clothes as well. The disabled person and the caregiver enter the heating chamber 1 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 1 at about 45 ° C., and water is replenished for further activation.

  And not only the caregiver on the medicinal stone layer 13 in the thermal chamber 1 but also the disabled person who rides in the wheelchair in the thermal chamber 1 of about 45 ° C. which is filled with hot spring water mineral particles. 12 also generates negative ions and far infrared rays from the lower mesolithic layer 15 by the hot water pipe 3, and the disabled and caregivers open all sweat glands in the body, have a surprising sweating effect, Oysters and dirt on the body also run away with sweat. Even in the warm room 1, even a disabled person in a wheelchair can permeate the body with mineral minerals contained in the hot spring water with the hot spring water from the hot spring water leaching pipe 5.

  In addition, fine particles are spread on the floor in the mesolithic layer 13 and the lower mesolithic layer 15 so that the released negative ions and far-infrared rays penetrate well into the body and promote the health of both handicapped and caregivers. be able to. 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. In particular, in the present invention, even if the disabled person uses this wheelchair-compatible bath and defecates in the bathroom in the unconscious state of the person himself, it is still possible to defecate while still in the wheelchair. Even if it is a hot spring in a public facility, not just at home, it has the greatest advantage of being able to handle the disabled individual, their family members and caregivers without any inconvenience.

  Even if a disabled person wants to get on the mesolithic layer 13 instead of just getting on the wheelchair, he can get off the wheelchair and easily transfer onto the mesolithic layer 13. In other words, in the present invention, the height of the drug stone layer portion 13 is configured to be several tens of centimeters higher than the wheelchair riding bathing floor 12 surface, so that it can be easily moved from the wheelchair. In particular, the upper end of the partition rising wall 14 is provided with a wooden handrail material 14a (see FIG. 5A), a soft synthetic resin handrail material 14a [see FIG. 5B], or a foamed synthetic material. In the case of the handrail material 14a made of a resin material (see FIG. 5C), it is possible for the caregiver and the handicapped to safely and safely transfer onto the mesolithic layer portion 13. After moving to the medicinal layer 13, you can take a bath in a more comfortable posture (lie down). In this way, disabled persons and caregivers in the thermal chamber 1 use the shower section 11b of the shower combined room 11 after removing a large amount of sweat, thereby removing the sweat in the body and making it refreshing and extremely comfortable. it can.

  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, while disabled people can stay on wheelchairs and respond to defecation, and mineral minerals You can sweat a lot with particles, negative ions, far-infrared rays, etc. to 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 can take a bath in a wheelchair, can take a bath with one person's hand, can easily give another handicapped hot spring to disabled people, can deal with defecation, and unlike a sauna, it has a low temperature, Whether you are sick or a disabled person with regular diapers, you can bathe without any age limit, making it extremely useful for our future welfare policy.
