  Even when the hot water in the water storage section 6 decreases during this start-up mode, the control means 65 controls the automatic water supply valve 8 based on the detection signal from the water level detection means 39 (float switches 40, 41). The water supply is controlled to keep the water reservoir 6 within a predetermined water level range.

  In the start-up mode described above, the blower 35 is set to a strong operation to start driving the blower 35, and the air heater 43 attached to the air supply port 36 is energized, and further stored in the water storage unit 6. The air in the sauna room 2 circulated by the blower 35 is sucked into the suction duct 4 by ON / OFF control of the heater 9 so as to keep the hot water temperature at a temperature higher than the set temperature set by the room temperature setting switch 59. The air in the sauna room 2 is sucked through the air and first heated and heated by the air heater 43, and then the heated and heated air is heated and heated to a temperature higher than the set temperature by a predetermined temperature. The fine water droplets and negative ions generated by crushing the hot water in the water storage unit 6 are put on the humidified air having a temperature higher than the set temperature from the discharge port 5 by the strong operation of the blower 35. Since the air in the sauna room 2 is vigorously supplied, the air in the sauna room 2 is sufficiently agitated so that the temperature in the sauna room 2 can be increased uniformly and rapidly. The air inside can be quickly circulated, and this can be repeated in sequence to quickly start up the sauna room 2 until a low temperature sauna atmosphere is formed at the set temperature and the room can be entered.

  Further, in this start-up mode, the rotating body 24 rotates, so that the rotating body 24 that is submerged in the water storage section 6 is lifted along the surface by centrifugal force from the lower surface of the rotating body 24 and the back surface of the rotating body 24 and rotated. Part of the hot water that is scattered from the plurality of pores 25 at the upper end of the body 24 toward the outer periphery and collided with the porous body 29 rotating simultaneously with the rotating body 24 is crushed into fine water droplets. A part of the other warm water passes through the porous portion 30, collides with the inner wall of the air guide tube 31 on the outer periphery of the porous body 29 and is further crushed into fine water droplets, and a mist containing nanometer-sized fine water droplets and large water droplets is formed. At the same time, due to the Leonard effect, the fine water droplets are negatively charged and the surrounding air is negatively charged to generate negative ions.

  In addition, air in the sauna chamber 2 flows from the air supply port 36 through the suction duct 4 by driving the blower 35, and is guided to the air guide cylinder 31 from above the rotating rotator 24 so that the inside of the processing chamber 15. At this time, a pair of large flow passages 32, 32 and a pair of small flow passages 33, 33 are formed between the cylindrical porous body 29 and the elliptical air guide tube 31. As the air flows there, a pressure difference is generated according to Bernoulli's theorem, and air flows from the high flow passages 32, 32 side having high pressure to the small flow passages 33, 33 side having low pressure. Large mist easily falls and only fine water droplets exist, and a large amount of negative ions can be obtained by contacting a large amount of air with water particles that are negatively charged fine water droplets. At this time, the dust contained in the air Bacteria are surrounded by large water droplets other than fine water droplets, fall into the warm water of the reservoir 6 and remain in the water as they are, so that air purification is also performed at the same time. This air purification also becomes turbulent air flow. It is done well.

  Further, the hot water in the water storage section 6 heated and heated is crushed in the processing chamber 15, and the generated air containing mist and negative ions is a downward flow passing through the communication path 17 below the partition wall 14. The large water droplets fall into the water by their own weight, and the fine water droplets left in the process of ascending the separation chamber 16 first hit the first baffle plate 26 at the lower end of the partition wall 14 and grow into large water droplets. Then, it falls while it circulates through the meandering path 28, hits the second baffle plate 27, grows and drops into the last large water droplet, circulates again through the meandering path 28, and finally Nanometer-sized fine water droplets are discharged from the discharge port 5 into the sauna room 2 through the blower 35, thereby reliably preventing the release of large water droplets and the nanometer-sized fine water droplets and negatively charged air. Negative ion only , Will be discharged from the discharge port 5, the floor and walls be covered concerned can be used safely without those capable water microdroplets and negative ions to form a full good sauna atmosphere.

  When the start-up mode in step S300 is completed, the operation proceeds to the stable mode (step S400). In this stable mode, the water storage section that detects the ON / OFF control of the heater 9 with the water storage temperature sensor 44. By switching from the control based on the hot water temperature of 6 to the control based on the room temperature in the sauna room 2 detected by the room temperature sensor 46, a stable and comfortable sauna bathing at the set temperature can be performed. By switching 35 from strong driving to weak driving, noise in the sauna room 2 is suppressed and the user can perform comfortable sauna bathing.

  Next, the operation in the stable mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 11. First, the control means 61 turns off the power to the air heater 43 and makes the blower 35 operate weakly (step S401). Counting of a predetermined time (for example, 60 minutes) that is a preset operation time is started (step S402). Here, the continuous operation time starts counting when the inside of the sauna room 2 reaches a set temperature. Subsequently, when the temperature in the sauna room 2 detected by the room temperature sensor 46 becomes equal to or lower than the set temperature −0.5 ° C., the heater 9 is energized and the temperature in the sauna room 2 detected by the room temperature sensor 46 is set. When the temperature exceeds the temperature, the heater 9 is turned on / off to keep the temperature in the sauna room 2 at the set temperature, such as turning off the power to the heater 9 (step S403), and the hot water at that time The temperature is about 40 ° C to 50 ° C. Then, when a predetermined time, for example, 10 minutes elapses from the start of continuous operation, the ventilation fan 47 is energized for a certain period of time, for example, about 10 seconds, and the ventilation fan 47 is driven to ventilate the sauna room 2. 47, the ventilation fan 47 is controlled so that the ventilation fan 47 is energized and driven for about 10 seconds to drive the ventilation in the sauna room 2 after 10 minutes have passed, and the ventilation fan 47 is turned off after 10 seconds. Step S404) Until the continuous operation time is counted, step S403 and step S404 are repeated (step S405). When it is determined that the continuous operation time has been counted (YES in step S405), a buzzer is sounded to turn off the bath lamp 64 and the operation lamp 61, and the blower 35 is stopped (step S406). When the operation switch 60 is turned off, the stable mode is terminated and the sauna operation is terminated. If the operation switch 60 is turned OFF by the user during the continuous operation time in the stable mode, the process immediately proceeds to the process of step S406, ends the stable mode, and ends the sauna operation.

  Even when the hot water in the water storage section 6 decreases during this stable mode, the control means 65 controls the automatic water supply valve 8 based on the detection signal from the water level detection means 39 (float switches 40 and 41). Thus, water is supplied to keep the water reservoir 6 within a predetermined water level range.

  In the stable mode described above, the ON / OFF control of the heater 9 is controlled from the control based on the hot water temperature of the water storage section 6 detected by the water storage temperature sensor 44 as in step S302 of the start-up mode. In this way, by switching the control so that the room temperature in the sauna room 2 detected by the room temperature sensor 46 is kept at the set temperature, the hot water in the water storage section 6 by the heater 9 is set so that the inside of the sauna room 2 becomes the set temperature. Since the heating amount is adjusted and the heated / humidified air is supplied into the sauna room 2, the temperature becomes stable with little deviation from the set temperature, and a comfortable sauna bath can be performed.

  Further, by switching the blower 35 from the strong operation to the weak operation in step S401, when the user enters the sauna room 2, the noise in the sauna room 2 can be suppressed. By reducing the circulation of air in the sauna room 2, fluctuations in the room temperature in the sauna room 2 can be suppressed, and furthermore, the energization of the air heater 43 is stopped to prevent overheating in the sauna room 2. Therefore, the temperature in the sauna room 2 is stable with little deviation from the set temperature, and comfortable sauna bathing can be performed.

  In addition, by performing control for driving the ventilation fan 47 for a predetermined time every predetermined time as in the step S404, fresh air is occasionally supplied from the outside of the sauna room 2 through the air intake 50 into the sealed sauna room 2. In addition to being able to take in, the breathing in the sauna room 2 in a high humidity atmosphere can be alleviated, and the sauna room 2 is kept in a low temperature and high humidity sauna atmosphere that encourages sweating, especially with a humidity of 90% or more It is possible to hold a comfortable sauna bath sufficiently.

  In addition, when bathing in a sauna in a low-temperature sauna atmosphere 2 with a set temperature of 38 ° C. to 42 ° C. and fine water droplets of nanometer size and a relative humidity of 90% or more and full of negative ions, water molecules added negative ion molecules group directly By opening the sweat glands by acting on the skin, etc., sweating can be facilitated, and a large amount of sweat can be discharged to discharge waste products in the body, and negative ions sucked from the lungs enter the blood and reduce it It is thought that pain and punishment can be alleviated by preventing blood oxidation and making the blood smooth, improving circulation and spreading blood to peripheral blood vessels.

  In addition, the negative ions have fatigue recovery effect, mental stability effect, blood purification effect, resistance enhancement effect, autonomic nerve adjustment effect, etc., and nanometer-sized fine water droplets to every corner in the air Suppresses dirty air and bacteria and breaks down odors, and still has a deodorizing effect, dust removing effect, sterilizing effect, and of course a humidifying effect. This humidification is smooth and moist air with no stickiness. It has the effect of keeping the skin and hair moistened by penetration from the pores.

  When the stable mode is finished in step S400 and the sauna operation is finished, the operation is subsequently shifted to the sterilization mode B (step S500), which is the termination operation of the sauna device. In this sterilization mode B, the blower is used in the sauna operation. As a result of driving 35 to circulate the air in the sauna chamber 2, the hot water in the water storage unit 6 that has taken in bacteria and the like is heated to a temperature that can be sterilized by the heater 9, and the rotating body 24 is rotated. By driving the motor 22, the hot water stored in the water storage unit 6 is sterilized, and the hot water heated from the water storage unit 6 is pumped by the hot water, and the rotary body arranged on the outer periphery of the rotary body 24. Dust, dust, bacteria, etc. adhering to the porous body 29 rotating together with the air guide 24 and the air guide cylinder 31 arranged so as to cover the porous body 29 are washed away to make it clean. Body 24, porous body 29, in which the air guide cylinder 31 is sterilized and sterilization.

  Next, the operation of the sterilization mode B will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 12. First, the control means 65 first determines a predetermined temperature at which the hot water temperature in the water storage section 6 detected by the water storage temperature sensor 44 can be sterilized, for example 60 It is determined whether or not the temperature is higher than or equal to ° C. (step S501). Is counted for a predetermined time for heat sterilization, that is, sterilization time (step S502), and when the hot water temperature in the water storage section 6 detected by the water storage temperature sensor 44 becomes 58 ° C. or lower, the heater 9 is energized, When the hot water temperature in the water storage unit 6 detected by the water storage temperature sensor 44 becomes 60 ° C. or higher, the hot water temperature in the water storage unit 6 is kept at a sterilizable temperature so that the power supply to the heater 9 is turned off. And ON / OFF control of the heater 9 so (step S503), sterilization time, repeating said steps S503 example until the count of one minute is finished (step S504). If it is determined that the sterilization time has been counted (YES in step S504), the heater 9 is turned off, the rotation motor 22 is stopped, and the automatic drain valve 13 is opened. In step S505, the sterilization mode B is terminated.

  In the sterilization mode B described above, as a result of circulating the air in the sauna room 2 by the sauna operation, the warm water in the water storage unit 6 that has taken in bacteria and the like is heated to a sterilizable temperature and the temperature is maintained for a predetermined time. By keeping the rotation and driving the rotating motor 22 for rotating the rotating body 24, the water stored in the water reservoir 6 is agitated by the rotation of the rotating body 24, and the hot water temperature in the water reservoir 6 is heated uniformly. Therefore, the water in the water storage unit 6 can be heat sterilized evenly, the inner wall of the water storage unit 6 with which the hot water of the water storage unit 6 comes into contact can be heat sterilized, and further, the rotator 24 rotates to sterilize. The hot water in the water storage unit 6 heated to a possible temperature rises along the surface from the lower end of the rotating body 24 that is submerged by centrifugal force from the front and back surfaces of the rotating body 24, and From pore 25 Part of the hot water scattered and pumped up to the periphery collides with the porous body 29 rotating at the same time as the rotating body 24, and another part of the hot water passes through the porous portion 30 to form the outer periphery of the porous body 29. Since it collides with the inner wall of the air guide tube 31, it is possible to clean the rotating body 24, the porous body 29, and dust, dust, bacteria, etc. adhering to the air guide tube 31, and to clean the rotating body 24, the porous body. 29, the air guide tube 31 can be sterilized and sterilized, and the hot water in the water storage unit 6 after heat sterilization can be drained to keep the water storage unit 6 clean.

  When the sterilization mode B in step S500 is completed, the process proceeds to the drying mode (step S600). In this drying mode, the air blower 35 is started and the air attached to the air supply port 36 is started. By energizing the heater 43 and further driving the ventilation fan 47, the inside of the fine water droplet and negative ion generator 1, the suction duct 4, and the sauna chamber 2 are dried.

  Next, the operation of the above-described drying mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 13. First, the control unit 61 sets the blower 35 to a strong operation and starts driving the blower 35, and energizes the air heater 43. Further, the ventilation fan 47 is driven (step S601), the ventilation lamp 63 is turned on, and it is determined whether or not a preset drying time, for example, 90 minutes has been counted (step S602), and it is determined that the drying time has ended. Then, the drive of the blower 35 is stopped, the energization of the air heater 43 is turned off, the drive of the ventilation fan 47 is stopped (step S603), the ventilation lamp 59 is turned off, the drying mode is finished, and the sauna apparatus is finished. When the operation is finished, the sauna apparatus is stopped. If the ventilation switch 62 is turned OFF by the user during the drying time in the drying mode, the process immediately proceeds to the process of step S603, the drying mode is ended, the end operation of the sauna device is ended, and the sauna device is stopped. It becomes a state. In addition, the sauna device is in a stopped state while the automatic drain valve 13 is open.

  In the drying mode described above, the air blower 35 is started to be driven, the air heater 43 attached to the air supply port 36 is energized, and the ventilation fan 47 is further driven to discharge moisture in the sauna room 2. The air heated by the air heater 43 is circulated in the fine water droplets and negative ion generator 1, the suction duct 4 and the sauna chamber 2, so that the fine water droplets and negative ions generator 1, the suction duct 4 and the sauna are circulated. Since the inside of the chamber 2 is dried, the generation of mold and the propagation of bacteria and the like in the apparatus 1, the suction duct 4 and the sauna chamber 2 can be prevented.

  Further, since only the automatic drain valve 13 is opened when the sauna device is stopped, water is not stored in the water storage unit 6 when the sauna device is stopped, and fine water droplet and negative ion generators are used. The inside of 1 can be kept clean.

  In addition, as described above, in the series of operations from the start of operation of the sauna device to the stop of operation, the two-time sterilization mode (sterilization mode A and By performing the sterilization mode B), it is possible to surely sterilize the fine water droplets and the negative ion generator 1, particularly the water storage unit 6, the rotating body 24, the porous body 29, and the air guide tube 31. After B, by performing the drying mode, the sauna apparatus after draining the hot water in the water storage unit 6, especially the fine water droplets and negative ion generator 1, the sauna room 2, and the suction duct 4 are dried, The sauna device can be kept clean and can reliably prevent the growth of bacteria, germs, etc., thereby realizing a sauna device with excellent hygiene.

  Further, in the sauna operation composed of the start-up mode and the stable mode, since the ventilation fan 47 is not energized during the start-up mode, until the inside of the sauna room 2 reaches the set temperature after the start of the sauna operation, There is no decrease in temperature and humidity in the sauna room 2 due to ventilation, the rise time of the sauna room 2 can be shortened, and further, the room temperature in the sauna room 2 is set to the set temperature after the stable mode is started. After reaching the value, the ventilation fan 47 is energized for a certain short period of time every predetermined time to drive the ventilation fan 47 to ventilate the sauna room 2. In addition to being able to be taken into the sauna room 2, the sauna room 2 can be kept in a low-temperature and high-humidity sauna atmosphere, in particular at a humidity of 90% or more, and a comfortable sauna bathing can be performed sufficiently. It is.

  Next, the operation when the user manually operates the operation switch 60 and instructs to stop the operation of the sauna apparatus during each mode described above, that is, when the operation switch 60 is turned OFF, is shown in the state transition diagram of FIG. I will explain. As described above, normally, the sauna operation is ended, the operation lamp 61 is turned off, and the operation switch 60 is automatically turned off at the end of the stable mode. Transition to sterilization mode B. However, even when the user manually turns off the operation switch 60 during the cleaning mode, the sterilization mode A, and the start-up mode, if the mode is uniformly shifted to the sterilization mode B, the heater 9 and the like are driven. Since power is unnecessarily consumed by energizing parts, it is intended to eliminate waste such as power consumption by making a transition to an appropriate process corresponding to each mode.

  Here, when the operation switch 60 is turned OFF by the user during the cleaning mode, the operation lamp 61 is turned off, and the automatic drain valve is followed according to the arrow shown by the one-dot chain line drawn from the cleaning mode in FIG. Transition to a stop state in which 13 is opened. This is because the cleaning mode is just after the start of use of the sauna device, so there is no problem even if it is immediately shifted to the stop state without performing the sterilization mode B or the drying mode. Thus, it is possible to shift to an appropriate process without performing unnecessary operations and eliminate waste of power consumption.

  Further, when the operation switch 60 is turned OFF by the user during the sterilization mode A, the operation lamp 61 is turned off, and the arrow shown by the one-dot chain line drawn from the sterilization mode A in FIG. A transition is made to a stopped state in which the automatic drain valve 13 is opened. This is a state in which the sterilization mode A is sterilizing and sterilizing the supplied water, the water storage unit 6, the rotating body 24, and the like, and supplying fine water droplets and negative ions into the sauna room 2. Because there is no need to dry the inside of the sauna room 2, there is no problem even if the sterilization mode B or the drying mode is performed immediately without going into the sterilization mode, and by doing so, the cleanliness of the sauna apparatus While maintaining the above, it is possible to shift to an appropriate process without performing unnecessary operations, thereby eliminating waste of power consumption.

  When the operation switch 60 is turned off by the user during the start-up mode, the operation lamp 61 is turned off, the sauna operation is stopped, and the one-dot chain line drawn from the start-up mode in FIG. Transition to the drying mode according to the arrow indicated by. This is a mode in which the start-up mode transitions after the sterilization mode A, and sterilization is performed in the sterilization mode A, so there is no need for further sterilization, and fine water droplets in the sauna room 2 Since it is in a state where negative ions are being supplied, it is necessary to dry the inside of the sauna room 2, so that the mode is changed to a drying mode, so that unnecessary operations can be performed while keeping the sauna apparatus clean. Therefore, it is possible to shift to an appropriate process and eliminate waste of power consumption.

  Further, when the operation switch 60 is turned off before the end of the continuous operation time in the stable mode, the operation lamp 61 is turned off, the sauna operation is stopped, and one point drawn from the stable mode in FIG. Transition to sterilization mode B follows the arrow indicated by the chain line. This is because the hot water in the water storage section 6 is used for sauna operation and needs to be sterilized and sterilized when it reaches the stable mode from the start of the sauna operation, and fine water droplets in the sauna room 2 Since the inside of the sauna room 2 needs to be dried because it is in the state of supplying negative ions, the transition is made to the sterilization mode B, and the end operation consisting of the sterilization mode B and the drying mode is performed. By doing so, it is possible to shift to an appropriate process without performing unnecessary operations while maintaining the cleanliness of the sauna apparatus.

  Further, when the operation switch 60 is turned off before the end of the continuous operation time in the stable mode, the operation lamp 61 is turned off, the sauna operation is stopped, and one point drawn from the stable mode in FIG. According to the arrow indicated by the chain line, transition to the sterilization mode B is performed, but as a special operation, within the set time set in advance after the operation switch 60 is turned OFF before the end of the continuous operation time in the stable mode. For example, when the operation switch 60 is operated within 20 seconds to start the operation of the sauna device, that is, when the operation switch 60 is turned ON again, as shown by the two-dot chain line in FIG. can do. By doing so, even if the user turns off the operation switch 60 due to an erroneous operation or the like, if the operation switch 60 is turned on within a predetermined time, the operation resumes from the stable mode, thereby improving user convenience. In addition, it is possible to continuously perform a comfortable sauna bathing without waiting until the sauna room 2 becomes ready for the sauna bathing again.

Next, the time count mode (step S700) executed when the sauna bather sits on the bench 3 in the sauna room 2 during the stable mode will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, when the sauna bather sits on the bench 3, the load switch 51 is turned on (step S701), and when YES, the time measuring means 52 starts measuring 30 minutes (step S702), and the time reaches 30 minutes. If YES, the notification means 53 notifies the user with a buzzer or the like (step S703), notifies the fact that 30 minutes have passed since entering the sauna room 2, and prompts the user to leave the room without any operation. Just sitting on the bench 3 starts timing and informs you of a good 30-minute sauna bath time, so you can enjoy the sauna bath with great ease of use and peace of mind.

  Further, when the sauna bather stands up during the 30-minute timing by the timing means 52 in step S702, the load switch 51 is confirmed to be OFF in step S704, and the process proceeds to step S705 in YES, and the time lag of 10 seconds by the holding means 54 is reached. If the load switch 51 is detected again in step S706 during this period, the process returns to step S702 and the time is measured by the time measuring means 52. If the time lag of 10 seconds in step S705 is completed, the process proceeds to step S707. The clocking of the clocking means 52 is reset and the clocking of the clocking means 52 is continued for a short period of time so as to improve the usability and allow the operation to be inadvertently allowed.

Next, an operation when the user manually operates the ventilation switch 62 during each mode described above will be described.
First, a case where the ventilation switch 62 is turned off by the user during the sterilization mode B will be described. Normally, when the stable mode ends, the sterilization mode B, the drying mode, and the stop state are automatically changed in this order. However, when the stable mode is finished and the sterilization mode B is started, the ventilation lamp 63 is turned on, the ventilation switch 62 is automatically turned on, and the sterilization mode B is processed. If the ventilation switch 62 is turned OFF by the user during the sterilization mode B, after the sterilization mode B is finished, the drying mode is canceled and the automatic drain valve 13 is opened and a transition is made to a stopped state. In this way, when the user finishes bathing the sauna and determines that the sauna room 2 does not need to be ventilated or dried, the ventilation switch 62 is turned OFF during the sterilization mode B after the sauna operation is finished. For example, after the sterilization mode B is completed, the drying mode is canceled and the drying mode is not performed and the process is stopped. Therefore, the processing intended by the user can be performed, and the usability can be improved.

  When the ventilation switch 62 is turned on again during the sterilization mode B after the ventilation switch 62 is turned off by the user during the sterilization mode B, the drying mode cancels after the sterilization mode B ends. After the sterilization mode B is completed, the drying mode is performed, and the drying mode is stopped after the drying mode is completed. By doing so, even if the ventilation switch 62 is operated by a user's erroneous operation, and the sauna apparatus is likely to be stopped without performing the drying mode, the ventilation switch 62 is operated again during the sterilization mode B. Then, since the drying mode is performed, the sauna device, that is, the fine water droplet and negative ion generator 1 and the sauna chamber 2 can be dried.

  In addition, when the ventilation switch 62 is turned on by the user during the stop state, the ventilation lamp 63 is turned on to start driving the ventilation fan 47, the blower 35, and the air heater 43, and a preset set time, for example, When the count for 60 minutes is completed, the driving of the ventilation fan 47, the blower 35, and the air heater 43 is stopped, the ventilation lamp 63 is turned off, and the sauna apparatus is stopped. In this way, when the user determines that the inside of the sauna room 2 is not sufficiently dried, when the ventilation switch 62 is turned on, the ventilation fan 47, the blower 35, and the air heater 43 are driven for a preset 60 minutes, The inside of the chamber 2 can be further dried, and the generation of mold in the sauna chamber 2 and the propagation of bacteria and the like can be prevented.

  In addition, when the ventilation switch 62 is turned ON by the user during the stable mode, the ventilation lamp 63 is turned on, and the driving of the ventilation fan 47 is started. When the counting for a certain time, for example, 1 minute is completed, the ventilation fan 47 is driven. It is to stop. Note that the stable mode is continuously performed while the ventilation fan 47 is driven. Thus, the ventilation switch 62 can be used for the purpose of ventilation in the sauna room 2 in the stable mode, and the ventilation switch 62 can be used for the purpose of drying in the sauna room 2 during the stop state. 62 can be used for both ventilation and drying.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In the stable mode of the above-described embodiment, the ventilation fan 47 is driven for a short time (10 seconds) every predetermined time (10 minutes). In order to make the room temperature in the sauna room 2 slightly higher than the set temperature such as set temperature + α (for example, α = 1 ° C., 2 ° C.) for a preset set time before the end of the predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds, When the temperature in the sauna room 2 detected by the room temperature sensor 46 becomes equal to or lower than the set temperature + α−0.5 ° C., the heater 9 is energized, and the temperature in the sauna room 2 detected by the room temperature sensor 46 is equal to or higher than the set temperature + α. Then, the heater 9 is controlled so that the energization to the heater 9 is turned off, or the energization to the heater 9 is performed for a preset time before the end of the predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds. Force start By energizing the heater 9 until the ventilation fan 47 is driven so that the room temperature in the sauna room 2 becomes higher than the set temperature, when the ventilation fan 47 is driven, fresh air is introduced and ventilation is performed. A drop in room temperature can be prevented in advance, and a comfortable sauna bath can be performed.

  Further, the sterilization time in the sterilization mode A and the sterilization time in the sterilization mode B are set to a predetermined time, 1 minute in this embodiment, and the same time is used in the sterilization mode A and the sterilization mode B. However, the sterilization time in the sterilization mode B may be longer than the sterilization time in the sterilization mode A. This is because the sauna operation in which fine water droplets and negative ions are supplied into the sauna room 2 and the air in the sauna room 2 is circulated, bacteria and the like contained in the air circulating in the sauna room 2 are treated. Since it may be trapped by water droplets in the chamber 15 and kept in the warm water of the water storage section 6, or may adhere to parts such as the rotating body 24 and the porous body 29 in the processing chamber 15, bacteria may propagate. Then, by sterilizing time in the sterilization mode B after the sauna operation is made longer than the sterilization time in the sterilization mode A before starting the sauna operation, these bacteria and the like are sterilized more reliably. Is something that can be done.
