Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom unit having a ventilation opening.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a bathroom unit having a ventilation port, for example, one disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 58-138594 is known. In such a bathroom unit, warm air is blown from a ceiling surface by a fan. Is vented to the outside through the opening in the bathroom side wall.

[0003]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional bathroom unit, when the ventilation device is used during bathing, the airflow directly hits the bather and gives discomfort, and the airflow does not efficiently occur in the wall direction. In addition, there were drawbacks such as the insufficient drying of the wall of the bathroom unit to prevent the generation of mold.

The present invention has been made to eliminate the above disadvantages.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A bathroom unit having a vent according to the present invention includes a surrounding wall, a bottom, a ceiling, a bathtub, and a washing bath.
In a bathroom unit that integrates the above, an exhaust port is provided on the ceiling, and a plurality of vertically elongated slit-shaped air supply ports are provided only in the upper part of the surrounding wall and are laterally separated from each other. orientation is characterized in that the flow in one direction in an endless along only the upper portion of the wall of.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG.

FIG. 1 is an explanatory front view of a bathroom unit with a front wall removed, wherein 1 is a unit main body, 2 is a surrounding wall, 3 is a ceiling, 4 is a bottom surface, 5 is a bathtub, and 6 is a washing place. ,
7 indicates a mirror.

In the present invention, an exhaust port 8 is provided in the ceiling 3 and a vertically long slit-shaped air supply port 9 is provided at an upper portion of the peripheral wall 2, for example, about 30 cm below the ceiling 3 as shown in FIG. As shown in the figure, when the bathroom unit is rectangular, it is formed at the four corners of the surrounding wall 2 constituting the bathroom unit, and the direction of air supply of each air supply port 9 is indicated by an arrow in FIG.
Is set to form an airflow that flows endlessly in one direction along the surface.

When the bathroom unit is cylindrical, the air supply ports 9 are formed in the peripheral wall 2 at substantially equal intervals in the lateral direction.

Since the bathroom unit having a vent according to the present invention has the above-described configuration, when air is blown out from the air supply ports 9 at the four corners, a swirling flow is generated along the wall 2 inside, and air molecules are generated. When a centrifugal force is applied to the airflow and the strength of the swirling flow is balanced with the amount of suction air, the negative pressure region by suction extends long along the center to form a core portion, and the negative pressure core portion is When centrifugal force and centripetal force are applied to the air molecules and the centrifugal force and centripetal force become equal on the circumference of the core, the swirling flow becomes a vortex flow (spiral flow), and an artificial tornado converging on the central core and moving upward toward the suction port is generated. Become like The artificial tornado formed in this way is a low-speed tornado that humans do not feel, but it is not enough to dry ceilings and walls.
Minutes.

[0011]

As described above, according to the bathroom unit having the ventilation opening of the present invention, the inside of the bathroom unit, especially the upper part and the ceiling around the wall, can be completely and efficiently dried, so that the generation of mold can be reduced and the sanitary condition can be reduced. Can always be kept good.

Further, since the artificial tornado is directed upward, there is a great advantage that the bather does not directly hit the bather and does not cause discomfort to the bather.
