The heat exchange promotion member 108 comprised by this is arrange | positioned, and the fan unit 109 is arrange | positioned further in the lower part. Water vapor generated by evaporation of a part of hot water ejected from the hot water jet 104 onto the heat exchange promoting member 108 is supplied to the air sucked from the air suction port 102 by the fan unit 109, and is supplied from the steam blowout port 103. The hot water sprayed into the bathroom and after heat exchange is collected in the drain pan 110 and drained to the outside.

また、この種のサウナ装置には、浴室乾燥機に組み込まれているものもある(例えば、特許文献2参照)。   In addition, some of the sauna devices of this type are incorporated in a bathroom dryer (for example, see Patent Document 2).

以下、そのサウナ装置について図13を参照しながら説明する。   Hereinafter, the sauna apparatus will be described with reference to FIG.

図13に示すように、循環ファン111や可動ルーバ112を設けた装置本体113を覆うグリル板114を設け、装置本体113は本体ケーシング113a内に吸気口115を通して室内の空気を吸引し、吹出口116より空気を吹き出すための循環通風路117と、循環通風路117に対して通風作用をする循環ファン111と、循環通風路117を通風する空気を加熱する熱交換器118と、吹出口116を通して吹き出される空気の吹き出し方向を可変する可動ルーバ112と、室内の空気を吸引して排気ダクト119を通し屋外に排気する換気ファン120と、吸気口115の側方に室内にミストを噴出するミスト噴出部121を設け構成していた。   As shown in FIG. 13, a grill plate 114 is provided to cover an apparatus main body 113 provided with a circulation fan 111 and a movable louver 112.

特開平6−63103号公報(第5頁、第3図)JP-A-6-63103 (page 5, FIG. 3) 特開2002−336327号公報([0021]〜[0023]、図5)JP 2002-336327 A ([0021] to [0023], FIG. 5)

このような特許文献1に示す従来のサウナ装置では、噴出湯管105の湯噴出口104から噴出された温水が熱交換促進部材108の上に垂らされ蒸発するため、水分中通常含まれているカルシウム、マグネシウム、シリカ等のミネラル分は熱交換促進部材108表面あるいはファンユニット109からスチーム吹出し口103の間の風路に付着し、スケールとなって表面に固着するため、製品性能の低下および製品寿命の短縮につながるといった課題があり、製品内部に多量のスケールが付着しないことが要求されている。   In such a conventional sauna device shown in Patent Document 1, since hot water ejected from the hot water jet 104 of the hot water pipe 105 is hung on the heat exchange promoting member 108 and evaporates, it is usually contained in moisture. Mineral content such as calcium, magnesium, silica and the like adheres to the surface of the heat exchange promoting member 108 or the air passage between the fan unit 109 and the steam outlet 103 and adheres to the surface as a scale. There is a problem that leads to shortening of the service life, and it is required that a large amount of scale does not adhere inside the product.

一方、特許文献2に示されるサウナ装置は、ミスト噴出部121により水圧のみで噴出されているため、水滴が直接使用者に当たったり、浴室の壁面および天井面に多く付着する等の課題があり、サウナ室内でも読書等行動が制約されないまたはサウナ使用後の浴室内の乾燥が容易にできる空間を提供することが要求されている。また、浴室内を温める吹出口116とミスト噴出部121が異なる場所にあり、かつミスト噴出部121から浴室内に供給される水滴径が大きいために、加湿空気とミストが混合されず温度と湿度による温湿度むらが発生するという課題があり、温風と湿度を混合して均一な温湿度を得ることが要求されている。   On the other hand, since the sauna apparatus shown in Patent Document 2 is ejected by only the water pressure by the mist ejecting portion 121, there are problems such as water droplets directly hitting the user and attaching to the wall surface and ceiling surface of the bathroom. In addition, there is a demand for providing a space in which behavior such as reading is not restricted even in a sauna room or that the bathroom can be easily dried after using the sauna. Further, since the outlet 116 for heating the bathroom and the mist ejection part 121 are in different places and the diameter of the water droplets supplied from the mist ejection part 121 to the bathroom is large, the humidified air and the mist are not mixed and the temperature and humidity are not mixed. There is a problem that uneven temperature and humidity occur, and it is required to obtain a uniform temperature and humidity by mixing warm air and humidity.

本発明は、このような従来の課題を解決するものであり、サウナ装置内部のスケールの析出量を低減し、粒径の細かい水滴を生成し均一の温湿度を得ることができ、またサウナ室内で読書ができるサウナ装置を提供することを目的としている。   The present invention solves such a conventional problem, reduces the amount of scale deposited inside the sauna device, generates water droplets with a fine particle size, and obtains uniform temperature and humidity.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, a device body 3 for forming a sauna device is provided in a ceiling space 2 of a sauna target room 1 made of a bathroom or the like. To the sauna target room 1. Further, a water supply pipe 6 that supplies water to the apparatus main body 3 and a drain pipe 7 that drains water discharged from the apparatus main body 3 are connected to the apparatus main body 3. The apparatus main body 3 includes the apparatus main body 3 in the ceiling back space 2 through the ceiling opening 5 of the sauna target room 1, has a panel 8 on the sauna target room 1 side, and sandwiches the ceiling 9 between the apparatus main body 3 and the panel 8. It is.

装置本体3は天井開口5に向け開口を有する箱形状のフレーム10により囲われ、内部に水回路を形成する給水弁11と給水口配管12と、給水された水を貯水するタンク13とタンク13の下部にはタンク13内部と連通する排水口配管14と排水弁15を備え、タンク13には加湿手段16として底部に超音波発振子17が一つあるいは複数個有し、一方、空気回路としてパネル8は空気を吸込む吸込口18と空気を吹き出す吹出口19を備え、サウナ対象室1から吸込口18より加湿手段16上部の加湿空気が漂う合流部22を介して送風手段20に導く循環流通路21を有し、送風手段20に導かれる風路構成で、送風手段20を通過した空気流は加熱手段であるヒーター23を通過し吹出口19よりサウナ対象室1に送風される。   The apparatus body 3 is surrounded by a box-shaped frame 10 having an opening toward the ceiling opening 5, and includes a water supply valve 11 and a water supply pipe 12 that form a water circuit therein, a tank 13 and a tank 13 that store the supplied water. A drain port pipe 14 and a drain valve 15 communicating with the inside of the tank 13 are provided at the lower part of the tank 13, and the tank 13 has one or a plurality of ultrasonic oscillators 17 at the bottom as the humidifying means 16, while The panel 8 is provided with a suction port 18 for sucking air and a blower port 19 for blowing air, and circulation circulation leading from the sauna target chamber 1 to the blowing means 20 through the joining portion 22 where humid air above the humidifying means 16 drifts from the suction opening 18. The air flow that has the passage 21 and is guided to the air blowing means 20 passes through the heater 23 that is the heating means and is blown into the sauna target room 1 from the air outlet 19.

また、装置本体3は給水弁11、排水弁15、超音波発振子17、送風手段20、加熱手段であるヒーター23と電気的に接続した(図示せず)制御手段24を備え、制御手段24は給水弁11、排水弁15、超音波発振子17、送風手段20、加熱手段であるヒーター23の動作指示を司る構成としたものである。   The apparatus body 3 includes a control unit 24 (not shown) electrically connected to a water supply valve 11, a drain valve 15, an ultrasonic oscillator 17, a blower unit 20, and a heater 23 which is a heating unit. Is configured to control the operation of the water supply valve 11, the drain valve 15, the ultrasonic oscillator 17, the air blowing means 20, and the heater 23 that is a heating means.

加湿手段16のタンク13内部には水温を冷却するクーラー25と水温を検知する水温検知手段26とタンク13内水位を検知する水位検知手段27が備えられており、サウナ運転の指示を制御手段24が認識すると、給水弁11が開となり、給水管6より水道水が給水口配管12を通過してタンク13内に導かれ、タンク13内に水が溜まることとなる。タンク13内の水がある一定水位以上となると水位検知手段27が動作し電気的に接続された制御手段24に信号を送り、制御手段24より給水弁11に「閉」の信号が送信され給水弁11は閉まりタンク13への給水は止まることとなる。さらに制御手段24より超音波発振子17へ信号が送られ超音波発振子17が動作し、加湿手段16が加湿することとなる。一方、超音波発振子17が動作すると同時に制御手段24より送風手段20へ動作信号が送られ送風手段20が動作しサウナ対象室1から吸込口18を通過して装置本体3に流入した空気は加湿空気となって吹出口19よりサウナ対象室1へ送風されることとなる。   Inside the tank 13 of the humidifying means 16 are provided a cooler 25 for cooling the water temperature, a water temperature detecting means 26 for detecting the water temperature, and a water level detecting means 27 for detecting the water level in the tank 13, and a control means 24 for instructing sauna operation. Is recognized, the water supply valve 11 is opened, and tap water is guided from the water supply pipe 6 through the water supply pipe 12 into the tank 13, and water is accumulated in the tank 13. When the water in the tank 13 exceeds a certain water level, the water level detection means 27 operates to send a signal to the electrically connected control means 24, and the control means 24 sends a “closed” signal to the water supply valve 11 to supply water. The valve 11 is closed and the water supply to the tank 13 is stopped. Further, a signal is sent from the control means 24 to the ultrasonic oscillator 17, the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is operated, and the humidifying means 16 is humidified. On the other hand, simultaneously with the operation of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, an operation signal is sent from the control means 24 to the blowing means 20, the blowing means 20 is activated, and the air that has flowed from the sauna target chamber 1 through the inlet 18 into the apparatus body 3 is It becomes humidified air and is blown from the air outlet 19 to the sauna target room 1.

一方、サウナ運転の指示を制御手段24が認識したとき加熱手段であるヒーター23に動作信号が送信され、ヒーター23が加熱され送風機20が動作することにより、吸込口18よりサウナ対象室1から吸込まれた空気は加湿手段16を通過した後ヒーター23を通過するためサウナ対象室1に加熱加湿空気を送風することとなる。   On the other hand, when the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation instruction, an operation signal is transmitted to the heater 23 which is the heating means, and the heater 23 is heated and the blower 20 is operated. Since the air that has been passed passes through the humidifying means 16 and then passes through the heater 23, the heated humidified air is blown into the sauna target room 1.

吹出口19より加熱加湿空気がサウナ対象室1に送風されるため、サウナ対象室1内の温度湿度は時間の経過とともに高くなっていく。高温高湿になったサウナ対象室1内の空気を吸込口18より吸込み装置本体3内で再び加熱加湿するため循環流通路21に位置する加湿手段16のタンク13内の水温は次第に上昇していくこととなる。水温が上昇すると特に60℃を越えると水中に溶け込んでいるカルシウム、マグネシウム、シリカ等のミネラル分の水中析出が著しくなり、水中のスケール比率が高くなり、結果タンク13の内壁に付着、あるいは超音波発振子17表面に付着することとなる。またサウナ運転終了後にタンク13内の水を排水した場合、析出したスケールが超音波発振子17の表面に残る、あるいは排水管7内面に付着し排水不良となる可能性がある。このためタンク13内には水温検出手段26が設けられ、タンク13内の水温を常時検知し、ある一定温度以上、(一例として)30℃以上を検知すると電気的に接続した制御手段24に信号を送信し、制御手段24よりタンク13内に備えたクーラー25に信号を送りクーラー25により20〜30℃にタンク13内水温を保つ動作を行う。超音波発振子17はタンク13内水温が高いと寿命が短くなるため、水温を管理することは加湿手段16つまりは装置本体3のメンテナンス頻度あるいは寿命に対して有効である。また、加湿手段16運転時は加湿を行うめタンク13内水位は減少する。タンク13内水位がある一定値以下となった場合、水位検知手段27が作動し、電気的に接続した制御手段24に信号を送り、制御手段24より給水弁11に信号を送ることにより、給水弁11は開となり給水口配管14よりタンク13へ水道水を給水する。   Since heated humidified air is blown from the blower outlet 19 to the sauna target chamber 1, the temperature and humidity in the sauna target chamber 1 increases with time. Since the air in the sauna target room 1 that has become hot and humid is heated and humidified again in the suction device body 3 from the suction port 18, the water temperature in the tank 13 of the humidifying means 16 located in the circulation passage 21 gradually increases. Will go. When the water temperature rises, especially when the temperature exceeds 60 ° C., the precipitation of minerals such as calcium, magnesium, silica, etc. dissolved in the water becomes remarkable and the scale ratio in the water increases, resulting in adhesion to the inner wall of the tank 13 or ultrasonic waves. It adheres to the surface of the oscillator 17. Further, when the water in the tank 13 is drained after the sauna operation is finished, the deposited scale may remain on the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 or may adhere to the inner surface of the drain pipe 7 and cause drainage failure. For this reason, a water temperature detection means 26 is provided in the tank 13 to constantly detect the water temperature in the tank 13 and to detect a temperature above a certain temperature, for example, 30 ° C. or more, as a signal to the electrically connected control means 24. And a signal is sent from the control means 24 to the cooler 25 provided in the tank 13, and the operation of keeping the water temperature in the tank 13 at 20 to 30 ° C. is performed by the cooler 25. Since the life of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is shortened when the water temperature in the tank 13 is high, managing the water temperature is effective for the maintenance frequency or the life of the humidifying means 16, that is, the apparatus main body 3. Further, when the humidifying means 16 is operated, the water level in the tank 13 for humidifying decreases. When the water level in the tank 13 falls below a certain value, the water level detection means 27 is activated, a signal is sent to the electrically connected control means 24, and a signal is sent from the control means 24 to the water supply valve 11. The valve 11 is opened and tap water is supplied from the water supply pipe 14 to the tank 13.

また、サウナ運転停止の信号を制御手段24が認識すると、電気的に接続した送風手段20、超音波発振子17、ヒーター23に信号を送り停止する。また、クーラー25、給水弁11が動作していた場合、クーラー23、給水弁11も停止あるいは閉とする。給水弁11が閉となった後、排水弁15が開きタンク13内の残水を排水口配管14を介し排水管7より装置本体3外に放出することにより、タンク3内には残水が残らないこととなり、サウナ停止時における残水内の雑菌の増殖および残水乾燥における残水以内に元々含まれていたミネラル分つまりはスケール成分の付着を抑制することができる。超音波発振子17の表面へのスケールあるいはゴミの付着は超音波発振子17の寿命低減または破壊につながるため、本発明実施例のような天井裏空間2に装置本体3を隠蔽するような設置の場合はメンテナンス頻度の低減、製品寿命の長期化を図ることができ非常に有効である。   When the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation stop signal, the control means 24 sends a signal to the electrically connected blower means 20, the ultrasonic oscillator 17, and the heater 23 to stop. Further, when the cooler 25 and the water supply valve 11 are operating, the cooler 23 and the water supply valve 11 are also stopped or closed. After the water supply valve 11 is closed, the drain valve 15 is opened, and the residual water in the tank 13 is discharged from the drain pipe 7 to the outside of the apparatus body 3 through the drain port pipe 14. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the growth of various germs in the residual water when the sauna is stopped and the adhesion of the mineral component originally contained in the residual water in the residual water drying, that is, the scale component. The scale or dust adhering to the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 leads to a reduction in the life or destruction of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, so that the apparatus main body 3 is concealed in the ceiling space 2 as in the embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the maintenance frequency can be reduced and the product life can be extended.

また吸込口18から吸込まれたサウナ対象室1の空気は超音波発振子17により加湿された平均粒径10μm以下の加湿空気と加湿手段16の上部に位置する合流部22で合流し、羽根にシロッコファン28を有する送風手段20を介し加熱手段としてのヒーター23に導かれる。加湿空気は気液分離手段29としてのシロッコファン28に吸込まれ、シロッコファン28の一枚一枚の羽根に衝突することによりさらに細かい水粒子に破砕され、シロッコファン28を通過した加湿空気は、循環流通路21を構成するシロッコファン28周囲の壁面に衝突し、大粒水滴は付着する。付着した大粒水滴は自重によりシロッコファン28の下部に備えた大粒水滴回収皿30に回収され、大粒水滴回収皿30は水路的に加湿手段16のタンク13に接続されており、またタンク13側に下り勾配をとった配置としているため、大粒水滴回収皿30に回収された水はタンク13に戻されることとなる。   In addition, the air in the sauna target room 1 sucked from the suction port 18 merges with the humidified air having an average particle diameter of 10 μm or less humidified by the ultrasonic oscillator 17 and the merging portion 22 located above the humidifying means 16, and enters the blades. The air is guided to a heater 23 as a heating means through a blowing means 20 having a sirocco fan 28. The humidified air is sucked into the sirocco fan 28 as the gas-liquid separation means 29, and is crushed into finer water particles by colliding with each blade of the sirocco fan 28. The humidified air that has passed through the sirocco fan 28 is It collides with the wall surface around the sirocco fan 28 that constitutes the circulation flow passage 21, and large water droplets adhere. The adhering large water droplets are collected by a self-weight in a large water droplet collection dish 30 provided at the lower part of the sirocco fan 28, and the large water droplet collection dish 30 is connected to the tank 13 of the humidifying means 16 in a water channel. Since the arrangement has a downward slope, the water collected in the large water droplet collection dish 30 is returned to the tank 13.

一方、シロッコファン28を通過した加湿空気は平均粒径が1μm以下の微細な水滴のみとなりヒーター23を介して加熱され、微細な加熱加湿空気となって吹出口19よりサウナ対象室1へ吹き出されることとなる。湿度は拡散性を持っており一方微細な水滴は気流と交わるため、サウナ対象室1に吹き出される加熱加湿空気は温度湿度が均一となり、むらのない均一サウナ対象室1が得られるサウナ装置となる。   On the other hand, the humidified air that has passed through the sirocco fan 28 becomes only fine water droplets having an average particle size of 1 μm or less, is heated through the heater 23, and is blown out into the sauna target room 1 through the outlet 19 as finely heated humidified air. The Rukoto. Humidity is diffusive, while fine water droplets intersect with the air current, so the heated humidified air blown into the sauna target room 1 has a uniform temperature and humidity, and a sauna apparatus that provides a uniform sauna target room 1 with no unevenness. Become.

図2は超音波発振子17の吹出粒径分布を表し、図3は吹出口19の吹き出し粒径分布を表している。本試験は位相ドップラー式レーザー粒子分析計で行っているが、図2からも判るように超音波発振子17で加湿をした場合平均粒子径2〜5μmとなるが、超音波発振子17の振動周波数により粒径は変化することと、測定装置として0.75μm以下の粒径が測定できないため実際に粒径ピーク値が0.75μm以下にある可能性があるため加湿手段16から発生する平均粒子径を10μm以下の粒径とした。粒子径が大きい場合その後ヒーターで加熱される際、蒸発潜熱で必要以上に空気流の温度の低減を招き、一方大粒水滴が蒸発しないで加熱のみされて吹出口19より吹き出される場合、サウナ対象空間1に吹き出された直後、自重で床面に落ち排水されてしまうためサウナ対象室1の加熱加湿寄与度が著しく低くなる。またサウナ対象室1に送風される加湿空気は体感的にも水冷感がないことが望ましく、このためにもヒーター23の吸込側の時点で粒子径を細かくし、水滴はヒーター23による加熱またはヒーター23によって加熱した空気流による加熱により水冷感のない加湿空気をサウナ対象室1に吹き出す必要がある。また気液分離手段29を介することで通過粒子径は小さくなるためサウナ対象室1へは粒子径の細かい(図3)加湿空気が吹き出され有効的にサウナ対象室1内を加温・加湿することとなる。なお、図3において0.75μmで粒径ピークとなっているが、先にも述べたように測定器では0.75μm以下の粒径が測定できないため、粒径ピークがさらに細かい粒径にあることが容易に予想できる。   FIG. 2 shows the blown particle size distribution of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, and FIG. 3 shows the blown particle size distribution of the outlet 19. This test is performed with a phase Doppler laser particle analyzer. As can be seen from FIG. 2, the average particle diameter is 2 to 5 μm when the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is humidified. The average particle generated from the humidifying means 16 because the particle size varies depending on the frequency and the particle size peak value may actually be 0.75 μm or less because the particle size of 0.75 μm or less cannot be measured as a measuring device. The diameter was set to 10 μm or less. When the particle size is large, when heated by a heater after that, the latent heat of vaporization causes an unnecessarily reduced temperature of the air flow, while large water droplets are not heated and are only heated and blown out from the outlet 19. Immediately after being blown out into the space 1, it falls to the floor surface due to its own weight and is drained, so that the heating / humidification contribution of the sauna target room 1 is remarkably reduced. Further, it is desirable that the humidified air blown into the sauna target room 1 does not feel bodily or water-cooled. For this reason, the particle diameter is made fine at the time of the suction side of the heater 23, and the water droplets are heated by the heater 23 or heated by the heater 23. It is necessary to blow out humidified air having no water-cooling feeling to the sauna target room 1 by heating with the air flow heated by 23. Further, since the passing particle diameter is reduced through the gas-liquid separation means 29, the humidified air is blown out into the sauna target chamber 1 (FIG. 3), and the inside of the sauna target chamber 1 is effectively heated and humidified. It will be. In FIG. 3, the particle size peak is at 0.75 μm. However, as described above, since the particle size of 0.75 μm or less cannot be measured with the measuring instrument, the particle size peak is at a finer particle size. Can easily be expected.

このことにより、使用者に水滴によるわずらわしさを与えることのない空間となるサウナ対象室1を提供できるので、サウナ対象室1内での読書が可能となり、サウナ対象室1の利用範囲を広げることができ、また温水を使用しないため装置本体3自体の寿命を長期化できる。   As a result, it is possible to provide the sauna target room 1 which is a space that does not give the user troublesomeness due to water droplets, so that reading in the sauna target room 1 is possible and the range of use of the sauna target room 1 is expanded. In addition, since hot water is not used, the life of the apparatus body 3 itself can be extended.

なお、本発明の実施例では送風手段20のシロッコファン28を気液分離手段29として用いたが、加湿手段16と送風手段20の間に別途気液分離手段29を設けてもよく、気液分離手段29を送風手段20の吸込み側に設けることにより、送風手段20に導かれる加湿空気の内部に存在する水滴は既に微細な状態となっているため、シロッコファン28の各々の羽根に大粒水滴が衝突することもなくなり、またシロッコファン28を駆動する電動機(図示せず)も大粒水滴浸入による劣化を防止することができるため、送風手段20の耐久性が向上するという効果がある。   In the embodiment of the present invention, the sirocco fan 28 of the blowing means 20 is used as the gas-liquid separating means 29. However, a separate gas-liquid separating means 29 may be provided between the humidifying means 16 and the blowing means 20, By providing the separating means 29 on the suction side of the air blowing means 20, the water droplets present in the humidified air guided to the air blowing means 20 are already in a fine state, so that large water droplets are formed on each blade of the sirocco fan 28. And the electric motor (not shown) that drives the sirocco fan 28 can prevent the deterioration due to the ingress of large water droplets, thereby improving the durability of the blowing means 20.

また、加湿手段16に超音波発振子17を用いたが、高圧スプレー加湿方式または遠心加湿方式の風下側に気液分離手段29を用いてもよく、気液分離手段29以降の粒径は気液分離手段29と送風手段20と加湿手段16つまりは高圧スプレー加湿方式または遠心加湿方式の性能を変化させることにより、同じ径にすることが可能であるため何ら作用・効果に差異はない。   Further, although the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is used as the humidifying means 16, the gas-liquid separating means 29 may be used on the leeward side of the high-pressure spray humidifying system or the centrifugal humidifying system. By changing the performance of the liquid separating means 29, the air blowing means 20, and the humidifying means 16, that is, the high pressure spray humidifying system or the centrifugal humidifying system, the same diameter can be obtained, so there is no difference in action and effect.

なお、高圧スプレー加湿方式とは給水を加圧して噴射口から水または水と圧縮空気を吹き出し噴霧し加湿する方式を示し、遠心加湿方式とは高速に回転する回転盤に水を供給することにより、水は円盤上を薄膜となり円盤端部から流出し、流出した水が円盤周囲のエリミネーターに衝突することにより噴霧し加湿する方式を示し、超音波加湿方式とは超音波振動子水面下面に設置し、超音波振動により水の表面に噴水状の水中を形成し、形成された水中先端部より水が霧化し加湿する方式を示す。   The high-pressure spray humidification method refers to a method of pressurizing feed water and spraying water or water and compressed air from the injection port to humidify, and the centrifugal humidification method is by supplying water to a rotating disk that rotates at high speed. The water is a thin film on the disk and flows out from the edge of the disk, and the water that flows out sprays and humidifies when it collides with the eliminator around the disk. The ultrasonic humidification system is installed on the lower surface of the ultrasonic transducer surface. Then, a fountain-like water is formed on the surface of the water by ultrasonic vibration, and water is atomized and humidified from the formed underwater tip.

(Embodiment 2)
A second embodiment will be described. Note that the same parts as those in Embodiment 1 are denoted by the same symbols, and the description thereof is omitted.

図4に示すように、装置本体3は天井開口5に向け開口を有する箱形状のフレーム10により囲われ、空気回路としてパネル8は空気を吸込む吸込口18と空気を吹き出す吹出口19を備え、サウナ対象室1から吸込口18を通過し送風手段20により合流部22に送風される第一の循環流通路21aと、吸込口18を通過し加湿手段用送風手段31により風下側に配置した加湿手段16を介し加湿空気となり合流部22に導く第二の循環流通路21bを有し、合流部22より加熱手段であるヒーター23を通過し、加熱加湿空気となって吹出口19からサウナ対象室1へ吹き出される。   As shown in FIG. 4, the apparatus body 3 is surrounded by a box-shaped frame 10 having an opening toward the ceiling opening 5, and the panel 8 as an air circuit includes a suction port 18 for sucking air and a blower port 19 for blowing air, The first circulation flow passage 21a that passes through the suction port 18 from the sauna target chamber 1 and is blown to the merging portion 22 by the blowing means 20, and the humidification that is disposed on the leeward side by the blowing means 31 that passes through the suction port 18 and is humidified. It has the 2nd circulation flow path 21b which becomes humidified air via the means 16, and guides it to the confluence | merging part 22, passes the heater 23 which is a heating means from the confluence | merging part 22, becomes heating humidified air from the blower outlet 19 to a sauna object room 1 is blown out.

上記構成によると送風手段20および加湿手段用送風手段31が加湿手段16あるいは合流部22より風上側に配列されるため、直接加湿手段16からの加湿空気の高湿度や大粒水滴にさらされることがなくなるため、大粒水滴の羽根への衝突による経時劣化を抑制することができるとともに、各々の送風手段に使用される電動機の選定が容易となる。   According to the above configuration, since the air blowing means 20 and the air blowing means 31 for the humidifying means are arranged on the windward side from the humidifying means 16 or the merging portion 22, they can be directly exposed to high humidity or large droplets of humidified air from the humidifying means 16. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the deterioration with time due to the collision of the large water droplets with the blades, and it becomes easy to select the electric motor used for each blowing means.

また、送風のみを行う第一の循環流通路21aと加湿空気を送風する第二の循環流通路21bを有するため、送風手段20と加湿手段用送風手段31の運転/停止の組み合わせにより吹き出し吹出口19から吹出される吹き出し空気の相対湿度を容易に操作することができ、高温高湿を好む使用者から中温低湿好む使用者まで幅広い使用者のニーズに応えることができる。   Moreover, since it has the 1st circulation flow path 21a which performs only ventilation, and the 2nd circulation flow path 21b which ventilates humidified air, it is a blower outlet by the combination of the operation / stop of the ventilation means 20 and the ventilation means 31 for humidification means. The relative humidity of the blown-out air blown out from 19 can be easily operated, and can meet the needs of a wide range of users from users who prefer high temperature and high humidity to users who prefer medium temperature and low humidity.

なお、本実施例では気液分離手段29を装備しない構成で説明したが、第二の循環流通路21bの加湿手段16風下側に大粒水滴と微細水滴を分離し大粒水滴を回収するとともに微細水滴のみ通過させる気液分離手段29を備えてもよく、合流部22には微細な水滴のみが供給されるため、ヒーター23表面に水滴内に含まれるスケールの析出が減少しヒーター23の寿命を確保することが容易となるといった効果がある。   In this embodiment, the gas-liquid separation means 29 is not provided. However, the large water droplets are separated from the humidification means 16 of the second circulation flow passage 21b on the leeward side, and the large water droplets are collected and the fine water drops are collected. A gas-liquid separation means 29 that allows only the water to pass therethrough may be provided, and since only fine water droplets are supplied to the merging portion 22, precipitation of scale contained in the water droplets on the surface of the heater 23 is reduced and the life of the heater 23 is ensured. There is an effect that it is easy to do.

実施の形態3について説明する。なお、実施の形態1、2と同一個所は同一符号とし説明は省略する。
(Embodiment 3)
A third embodiment will be described. The same parts as those in the first and second embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

図5および図6に示すように、加湿手段16のタンク13内部には水温を冷却するクーラー25と水温を検知する水温検知手段26とタンク13内水位を検知する水位検知手段27が備えられており、サウナ運転の指示を制御手段24が認識すると、給水弁11が開となり、給水管6より水道水が給水口配管12と通過してタンク13内に導かれ、タンク13内に水が溜まることとなる。タンク13内の水がある一定水位以上となると水位検知手段27が動作し電気的に接続された制御手段24に信号を送り、制御手段24より給水弁11に「閉」の信号が送信され給水弁11は閉まりタンク13への給水は止まることとなる。さらに制御手段24より超音波発振子17へ信号が送られ超音波発振子17が動作し、加湿手段16が加湿することとなる。一方、超音波発振子17が動作すると同時に制御手段24より送風手段20へ動作信号が送られ送風手段20が動作しサウナ対象室1から吸込口18を通過して装置本体3に流入した空気は加湿空気となって吹出口19よりサウナ対象室1へ送風されることとなる。タンク13の下部に取り付けた超音波発振子17は水のない状態での空運転を行うと故障する虞があることと、一般的に超音波発振子17はリング状のパッキン材17aをタンク13底面に当てる構造でシールする方式が一般的なため超音波発振子17の発振子自体はタンク13の最下部に位置することとなる。一方タンク13は両端面に回転支持手段32と回転駆動手段33を備え、回転支持手段32はタンク13の端面の中心に位置した棒状のものであり、一方対向する端面は中心の位置に備えた棒状の回転支持手段32と回転支持手段32の棒を回転する回転駆動手段33を有する。回転駆動手段33は電気的に制御手段24と接続している。   As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the tank 13 of the humidifying means 16 is provided with a cooler 25 for cooling the water temperature, a water temperature detecting means 26 for detecting the water temperature, and a water level detecting means 27 for detecting the water level in the tank 13. When the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation instruction, the water supply valve 11 is opened, and tap water passes through the water supply pipe 12 through the water supply pipe 6 and is introduced into the tank 13, and water is collected in the tank 13. It will be. When the water in the tank 13 exceeds a certain water level, the water level detection means 27 operates to send a signal to the electrically connected control means 24, and the control means 24 sends a “closed” signal to the water supply valve 11 to supply water. The valve 11 is closed and the water supply to the tank 13 is stopped. Further, a signal is sent from the control means 24 to the ultrasonic oscillator 17, the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is operated, and the humidifying means 16 is humidified. On the other hand, simultaneously with the operation of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, an operation signal is sent from the control means 24 to the blowing means 20, the blowing means 20 is activated, and the air that has flowed from the sauna target chamber 1 through the inlet 18 into the apparatus body 3 is It becomes humidified air and is blown from the air outlet 19 to the sauna target room 1. The ultrasonic oscillator 17 attached to the lower portion of the tank 13 may break down when it is idled in the absence of water, and the ultrasonic oscillator 17 generally attaches a ring-shaped packing material 17a to the tank 13. Since a method of sealing with a structure that touches the bottom surface is common, the oscillator itself of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is positioned at the lowermost part of the tank 13. On the other hand, the tank 13 is provided with a rotation support means 32 and a rotation drive means 33 at both end faces, and the rotation support means 32 is a rod-like one located at the center of the end face of the tank 13, while the opposite end face is provided at the center position. A rod-like rotation support means 32 and a rotation drive means 33 for rotating the rod of the rotation support means 32 are provided. The rotation driving means 33 is electrically connected to the control means 24.

また、サウナ運転停止の信号を制御手段24が認識すると、電気的に接続した送風手段20、超音波発振子17、ヒーター23に信号を送り停止する。また、クーラー25、給水弁11が動作していた場合、クーラー25、給水弁11も停止あるいは閉とする。ヒーター23と超音波発振子17とクーラー25と水温検知手段26と水位検知手段27は伸縮自在、あるいは弛みを持たせて制御手段24と接続されている。給水弁11が閉となった後、制御手段24より回転駆動手段33に信号を送り回転駆動手段33が駆動し、タンク13対面に位置する回転支持手段32を中心にタンク13が回転する。タンク13は初期の位置から180°回転することによりタンク13内部の残水は全て下部に落としこむこととなる。タンク13の下部には、タンク13が180°回転するために十分な距離を置いた位置にパン34を備えている。パン34は上面が開口した箱型の形状であり、底面には排水口配管14と連通する穴を備えており、容量は回転駆動手段33の回転速度による。つまり回転駆動手段33の回転速度が速ければ、タンク13とほぼ同等の容量が必要となり、一方回転駆動手段33の回転速度が遅く、タンク13から落下する水の量とパン34の底面に設けた穴より排水口配管14に排水する量が等しければパン34の容量は少なくて済むこととなる。また、回転駆動手段33が駆動を開始するとともに制御手段24から排水弁15へ信号が送信され、排水弁15が開きタンク13内から落下しパン34に回収された残水をパン34下部に設けた穴を通過し排水口配管14を介し排水管7より装置本体3外に放出することにより、タンク3内およびパン34には残水が残らないこととなり、特にタンク13は逆さまになることによる残水落下のためパッキン材17aの下部に位置した発振子自体の残水も完全になくなり、サウナ停止時における残水内の雑菌の増殖および残水乾燥における残水以内に元々含まれていたミネラル分つまりはスケール成分の付着を抑制することができる。超音波発振子17の表面へのスケールあるいはゴミの付着は超音波発振子17の寿命低減または破壊につながるため、本発明実施例のような天井裏空間2に装置本体3を隠蔽するような設置の場合はメンテナンス頻度の低減、製品寿命の長期化を図ることができ非常に有効である。回転駆動手段33が180°回転した一定時間後に再び駆動時とは逆回転方向に回転駆動手段33は駆動し元の位置にタンクが戻った時に停止する。その後送風手段20が動作し、タンク13表面を空気流が流れることによりタンク13内面は完全に乾燥することとなる。   When the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation stop signal, the control means 24 sends a signal to the electrically connected blower means 20, the ultrasonic oscillator 17, and the heater 23 to stop. When the cooler 25 and the water supply valve 11 are operating, the cooler 25 and the water supply valve 11 are also stopped or closed. The heater 23, the ultrasonic oscillator 17, the cooler 25, the water temperature detection means 26, and the water level detection means 27 are connected to the control means 24 so as to be extendable or slack. After the water supply valve 11 is closed, the control means 24 sends a signal to the rotation drive means 33 to drive the rotation drive means 33, and the tank 13 rotates around the rotation support means 32 positioned facing the tank 13. The tank 13 is rotated 180 ° from the initial position, so that all the remaining water in the tank 13 is dropped to the lower part. A pan 34 is provided at a position below the tank 13 at a sufficient distance for the tank 13 to rotate 180 °. The pan 34 has a box shape with an upper surface opened, and has a hole communicating with the drain pipe 14 on the bottom surface. The capacity depends on the rotation speed of the rotation driving means 33. In other words, if the rotation speed of the rotation drive means 33 is high, a capacity almost equal to that of the tank 13 is required, while the rotation speed of the rotation drive means 33 is slow and the amount of water falling from the tank 13 and the bottom of the pan 34 are provided. If the amount drained from the hole to the drain pipe 14 is equal, the capacity of the pan 34 can be reduced. Further, the rotation drive means 33 starts driving and a signal is transmitted from the control means 24 to the drain valve 15, and the drain valve 15 opens and the residual water recovered from the pan 34 by dropping from the tank 13 is provided at the bottom of the pan 34. By passing through the hole and discharging it from the drain pipe 7 to the outside of the apparatus main body 3 through the drain port pipe 14, no residual water remains in the tank 3 and the pan 34, and in particular, the tank 13 is upside down. Due to the fall of the residual water, the residual water of the oscillator itself located at the lower part of the packing material 17a is completely eliminated, and the minerals originally contained in the residual water in the residual water in the residual water proliferation and the residual water drying when the sauna is stopped. In other words, adhesion of scale components can be suppressed. The scale or dust adhering to the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 leads to a reduction in the life or destruction of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, so that the apparatus main body 3 is concealed in the ceiling space 2 as in the embodiment of the present invention. In this case, the maintenance frequency can be reduced and the product life can be extended. The rotation drive means 33 is driven in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation again after a certain time after the rotation drive means 33 has rotated 180 °, and stops when the tank returns to the original position. Thereafter, the air blowing means 20 is operated, and the air flow flows on the surface of the tank 13 so that the inner surface of the tank 13 is completely dried.

(Embodiment 4)
A fourth embodiment will be described. The same parts as those in the first to third embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof is omitted.

図7に示すように、装置本体3は天井開口5に向け開口を有する箱形状のフレーム10により囲われ、空気回路としてパネル8は空気を吸込む吸込口18と空気を吹き出す第一の吹出口19aを備え、サウナ対象室1から吸込口18を通過し送風手段20により合流部22に送風される第一の循環流通路21aと、吸込口18を通過し加湿手段16を介した第二の循環流通路21bを有している。第二の循環流通路21bは加湿手段16の風下側に第一の循環流通路21aの合流部22に導く風路と、第二の吹出口19bに導く風路を切り替える風路切替ダンパー36を備えている。風路切替ダンパー36が第一の循環流通路21aの合流部22側に切り替わると第二の循環流通路21bを流れる空気は、加湿手段16により加湿された後、合流部22でサウナ対象室1から吸込んだ空気と合流し気液分離手段29で微細な水滴のみを含む空気となった後、ヒーター23を通過し、微細な水滴のみを含む加熱加湿空気となって第一の吹出口19aからサウナ対象室1へ吹き出される。一方、風路切替ダンパー36が第二の循環流通路21に空気流が流れるように切り替わると第二の循環流通路21bを通過する空気流は合流部22に導かれずに吹出口19bよりサウナ対象室1に吹き出す風路と、サウナ対象室1から吸込んだ空気をヒーター23により加温して吹出口19aより吹き出す風路に区分される。このため、第二の循環流通路21bを通過する空気流は加湿手段16により加湿された状態で第二の吹出口19bから吹き出されることとなり、また加湿手段16はタンク13の下部に超音波発振子17を備えた方式のため加湿手段16から加湿される空気は微細なものから目に見える靄レベルの水滴まで含んだものであり、第二の吹出口19bから吹き出される加湿空気は目視できる靄レベルの水滴粒子を含んだものとなる。   As shown in FIG. 7, the apparatus main body 3 is surrounded by a box-shaped frame 10 having an opening toward the ceiling opening 5, and the panel 8 as an air circuit has a suction port 18 for sucking air and a first blower port 19a for blowing air. A first circulation flow passage 21a that passes from the sauna target chamber 1 through the suction port 18 and is blown to the merging portion 22 by the blowing means 20, and a second circulation through the suction port 18 and the humidification means 16 It has a flow passage 21b. The second circulation flow passage 21b is provided with an air passage switching damper 36 for switching between the air passage leading to the joining portion 22 of the first circulation flow passage 21a and the air passage leading to the second outlet 19b on the leeward side of the humidifying means 16. I have. When the air path switching damper 36 is switched to the merging portion 22 side of the first circulation flow passage 21a, the air flowing through the second circulation flow passage 21b is humidified by the humidifying means 16, and then the sauna target room 1 in the merging portion 22. The air that has been sucked from the air is combined into air containing only fine water droplets by the gas-liquid separation means 29, and then passes through the heater 23 to become heated humidified air containing only fine water droplets from the first air outlet 19a. It is blown out to the sauna target room 1. On the other hand, when the air path switching damper 36 is switched so that an air flow flows through the second circulation flow passage 21, the air flow passing through the second circulation flow passage 21b is not guided to the merging portion 22 but from the outlet 19b. It is divided into an air passage that blows out into the chamber 1 and an air passage that heats the air sucked from the sauna target chamber 1 by the heater 23 and blows out from the air outlet 19a. For this reason, the air flow passing through the second circulation flow passage 21 b is blown out from the second air outlet 19 b while being humidified by the humidifying means 16, and the humidifying means 16 is ultrasonically applied to the lower part of the tank 13. The air humidified from the humidifying means 16 includes a fine one to visible water droplets at a soot level because of the system provided with the oscillator 17, and the humidified air blown out from the second outlet 19b is visually observed. It will contain dripping water droplets that can be made.

上記構成において、風路切替ダンパー36を切り替えることにより吹出口19からは微細な水滴のみを含んだ加熱加湿空気と、目視できる靄レベルの水滴を含んだ加湿空気を吹き出すモードに切り替えることが可能となり使用者のニーズに合せてモードを選択することができる。また微細な水滴のみを含んだ加熱加湿空気の吹き出しでは加湿していることが計器等使用しない限り使用者に伝わりづらく、一方靄を吹き出した場合は目視で使用者が加湿していることを判断することができるという効果があり、実際機器購入前の使用予定者に微細な水滴でのサウナ浴を体感していただくのは困難なため、靄吹き出し加湿はチラシ等視覚のみに訴える宣伝等には非常に大きな効果が期待できる。   In the above configuration, by switching the air path switching damper 36, it is possible to switch from the blowout port 19 to a mode in which heated humidified air containing only fine water droplets and humidified air containing visually visible soot-level water droplets are blown out. The mode can be selected according to the user's needs. In addition, it is difficult for the user to know that the humidified air that contains only fine water droplets is humidified unless the instrument is used. Because it is difficult for people who plan to use the equipment before purchasing the equipment to experience a sauna bath with fine water droplets, moisturizing and humidifying can be used for advertisements that appeal only to the visual sense, such as flyers. A very large effect can be expected.

なお本発明の実施例では靄を発生するときに第一の循環流通路21aからサウナ対象室1に加熱空気が送風されるが、第一の循環流通路21a内に新たにダンパーを設けて靄を発生するモードの時には第一の循環流通路21aに空気を流さない構成としてもよく、前記構成の場合ヒーター23を空気流が通過することなく第二の吹出口19bからのみふきだされるため、加熱による水滴の蒸発等がなくなりより多くの靄をサウナ対象室1内に吹き出すことができるという効果がある。   In the embodiment of the present invention, when the soot is generated, the heated air is blown from the first circulating flow passage 21a to the sauna target chamber 1, but a new damper is provided in the first circulating flow passage 21a. In the mode for generating the air, it may be configured so that air does not flow through the first circulation flow passage 21a. In the case of the above-described configuration, the air flow is blown out only from the second outlet 19b without passing through the heater 23. There is an effect that water droplets are not evaporated by heating, and more soot can be blown out into the sauna target chamber 1.

(Embodiment 5)
A fifth embodiment will be described. Note that the same portions as those in the first to fourth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

図8および図9に示すように、加湿手段16は底面に超音波を反射する反射板38を備え、タンク13の上部に反射板38と向き合う方向に振動が伝わる向きに超音波発振子17を取り付けた発振子固定手段37を備えている。タンク13内部にはタンク13内水位を検知する水位検知手段27が備えられており、水位検知手段27は発振子固定手段37に備えた超音波発振子17の表面が完全に水に浸かる位置で信号を制御手段24に送信する位置に備えられている。サウナ運転の指示を制御手段24が認識すると、給水弁11が開となり、給水管6より水道水が給水口配管12を通過してタンク13内に導かれ、タンク13内に水が溜まることとなる。タンク13内の水がある一定水位以上となると水位検知手段27が動作し電気的に接続された制御手段24に信号を送り、制御手段24より給水弁11に「閉」の信号が送信され給水弁11は閉まりタンク13への給水は止まることとなる。さらに制御手段24より超音波発振子17へ信号が送られ超音波発振子17が動作する。超音波発振子17から発した波動はタンク13底面に備えた反射板38に反射しタンク13に貯水した水面を振動させ加湿することとなる。   As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the humidifying means 16 includes a reflection plate 38 that reflects ultrasonic waves on the bottom surface, and the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is arranged on the upper portion of the tank 13 in a direction in which vibration is transmitted in a direction facing the reflection plate 38. An attached oscillator fixing means 37 is provided. A water level detection means 27 for detecting the water level in the tank 13 is provided inside the tank 13, and the water level detection means 27 is a position where the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 provided in the oscillator fixing means 37 is completely immersed in water. It is provided at a position where a signal is transmitted to the control means 24. When the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation instruction, the water supply valve 11 is opened, and tap water is guided from the water supply pipe 6 through the water supply pipe 12 into the tank 13, and water is accumulated in the tank 13. Become. When the water in the tank 13 exceeds a certain water level, the water level detection means 27 operates to send a signal to the electrically connected control means 24, and the control means 24 sends a “closed” signal to the water supply valve 11 to supply water. The valve 11 is closed and the water supply to the tank 13 is stopped. Further, a signal is sent from the control means 24 to the ultrasonic oscillator 17 so that the ultrasonic oscillator 17 operates. The wave generated from the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is reflected by the reflecting plate 38 provided on the bottom surface of the tank 13, and the water surface stored in the tank 13 is vibrated and humidified.

また、サウナ運転停止の信号を制御手段24が認識すると、電気的に接続した超音波発振子17に信号を送り停止する。また、給水弁11が動作していた場合、給水弁11も停止あるいは閉とする。給水弁11が閉となった後、排水弁15が開きタンク13内の残水を排水口配管14を介し排水管7より装置本体3外に放出することにより、タンク3内には残水が残らないこととなり、特に超音波発振子17の表面へのスケールあるいはゴミの付着は超音波発振子17の寿命低減または破壊につながるため、本発明実施例のような天井裏空間2に装置本体3を隠蔽するような設置の場合はメンテナンス頻度の低減、製品寿命の長期化を図ることができ非常に有効である。   When the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation stop signal, it sends a signal to the electrically connected ultrasonic oscillator 17 and stops. Further, when the water supply valve 11 is operating, the water supply valve 11 is also stopped or closed. After the water supply valve 11 is closed, the drain valve 15 is opened, and the residual water in the tank 13 is discharged from the drain pipe 7 to the outside of the apparatus body 3 through the drain port pipe 14. In particular, since the scale or dust adhering to the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 leads to a reduction in the life or destruction of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, the apparatus main body 3 is placed in the ceiling space 2 as in the embodiment of the present invention. In the case of installation that conceals light, maintenance frequency can be reduced and product life can be extended.

(実施の形態6)
実施の形態6について説明する。なお、実施の形態1〜5と同一個所は同一符号とし説明は省略する。
(Embodiment 6)
A sixth embodiment will be described. Note that the same portions as those in the first to fifth embodiments are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

図10および図11に示すように、加湿手段16は水を貯水するタンク13底面に対し反射板38を斜めに備え、反射板38と平行になる角度で発振子固定手段37の超音波発振子17表面を取り付けたものであり、超音波発振子17の角度は超音波発振子17の表面に給水した時に残る空気ダマを抜くために十分な角度である。またタンク13内部にはタンク13内水位を検知する水位検知手段27が備えられており、水位検知手段27は発振子固定手段37に備えた超音波発振子17の表面が完全に水に浸かる位置で信号を制御手段24に送信する位置に備えられている。サウナ運転の指示を制御手段24が認識すると、給水弁11が開となり、給水管6より水道水が給水口配管12を通過してタンク13内に導かれ、タンク13内に水が溜まることとなる。タンク13内の水が溜まるにつれ発振子固定手段37に備えた超音波発振子17が浸かることとなるが、超音波発振子17は結果斜めに取り付いているため超音波発振子17の表面つまりは発振子固定手段37のタンク13底面側に溜まる行き場をなくした空気ダマはタンク13に貯水された水の水面に向かうこととなるため、超音波発振子17が完全に水に浸かった状態のときに超音波発振子17表面に空気ダマが残ることはない。その後ある一定水位以上となると水位検知手段27が動作し電気的に接続された制御手段24に信号を送り、制御手段24より給水弁11に「閉」の信号が送信され給水弁11は閉まりタンク13への給水は止まることとなる。さらに制御手段24より超音波発振子17へ信号が送られ超音波発振子17が動作する。超音波発振子17から発した波動はタンク13底面に備えた反射板38に反射しタンク13に貯水した水面を振動させ加湿することとなる。超音波発振子17の表面には空気ダマがないため空気を振動させることがなくなり空気ダマによる超音波発振子17の故障を低減、また加湿性能の維持をすることができる。   As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the humidifying means 16 includes a reflector 38 obliquely with respect to the bottom surface of the tank 13 for storing water, and the ultrasonic oscillator of the oscillator fixing means 37 at an angle parallel to the reflector 38. The angle of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is a sufficient angle for removing air lumps remaining when water is supplied to the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17. Further, a water level detection means 27 for detecting the water level in the tank 13 is provided inside the tank 13, and the water level detection means 27 is a position where the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 provided in the oscillator fixing means 37 is completely immersed in water. At a position to transmit a signal to the control means 24. When the control means 24 recognizes the sauna operation instruction, the water supply valve 11 is opened, and tap water is guided from the water supply pipe 6 through the water supply pipe 12 into the tank 13, and water is accumulated in the tank 13. Become. As the water in the tank 13 accumulates, the ultrasonic oscillator 17 provided in the oscillator fixing means 37 is immersed. However, since the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is attached obliquely, the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, that is, Since the air dam that has lost the place of accumulation on the bottom surface side of the tank 13 of the oscillator fixing means 37 is directed toward the water surface of the water stored in the tank 13, the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is completely immersed in water. In addition, no air lumps remain on the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17. Thereafter, when the water level exceeds a certain level, the water level detecting means 27 operates to send a signal to the electrically connected control means 24, and the control means 24 sends a “closed” signal to the water supply valve 11 so that the water supply valve 11 is closed and the tank is closed. Water supply to 13 will be stopped. Further, a signal is sent from the control means 24 to the ultrasonic oscillator 17 so that the ultrasonic oscillator 17 operates. The wave generated from the ultrasonic oscillator 17 is reflected by the reflecting plate 38 provided on the bottom surface of the tank 13, and the water surface stored in the tank 13 is vibrated and humidified. Since there is no air dam on the surface of the ultrasonic oscillator 17, the air is not vibrated, and the failure of the ultrasonic oscillator 17 due to the air dam can be reduced and the humidification performance can be maintained.

本発明にかかるサウナ装置は、高湿温風空気を吹出す構造によって、暖房装置と加湿装置を一体に設けた空気調和装置あるいは温度・湿度制御が必要な動植物の育成・保存分野にも適応できる。   The sauna device according to the present invention can be adapted to the field of growing and storing animals and plants that require temperature / humidity control, or an air conditioner in which a heating device and a humidifying device are integrally provided, by a structure that blows out high-humidity hot air. .
