0). Thus, the steam generator (1) can be mounted and fixed on the inner wall (2) of the installation site such as a bathroom or a shower room. Then, a cover (3) for protecting the steam generator (1) from hot water and moisture is covered from above, and a moisture-proof packing (15) provided on the peripheral portion.
And is fixed to the inner wall portion (2) with screws (9) or the like.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a water stopcock (16) is installed on an inner wall (2) different from the above for supplying water to the steam generator (1), and a water supply pipe ( 17) to the steam generator (1). A steam nozzle (19) is arranged via a steam pipe (18) to introduce heated steam from the steam generator (1) into a room such as a bathroom or a shower room. Further, a drain pipe (20) for discharging unnecessary waste water from the steam generator (1) is connected. These water pipe (17), steam pipe (18) and drain pipe (20) have a cover (3).
A waterproof structure as illustrated in FIG. 5 can be employed so that hot water or moisture does not enter the inside of the cover (3) at the connection portion with the cover. In this example, a water supply pipe (17), a steam pipe (18) and a drain pipe (20)
Is connected to the cover (3) at the faucet fixing bracket (2).
1) is attached, and a waterproof packing (22) is arranged inside and outside of the cover (3), and is fixed to the cover (3) by a nut (23).

As described above, according to the steam generator mounting structure of the present invention, it is possible to prevent water and moisture from entering from the installation site such as a bathroom or a shower room, to improve the moisture proof property and the waterproof property, and to improve the steam generator. The surrounding environment of (1) is communicated with the back of the wall through a ventilation hole (4) provided in the inner wall (2) to ensure air permeability, and the steam generator (1) is connected to the inner wall (2) of the installation site. ) Can be installed and fixed. By any chance
Even if a situation where hot and cold water enters the inside of the cover (3) occurs, for example, the lower ventilation hole (4) provided in the inner wall portion (2) can be used as a drain hole, and steam is generated. Water can be drained before the charged part of the container (1) is flooded. Electric leakage can be prevented. Even if the steam generator (1) is installed and fixed on the inner wall (2) of the installation site such as a bathroom or a shower room, the safety is sufficiently ensured. In addition, since the mounting can be performed easily and easily using the mounting brackets (5) and (6), the workability of the steam generator is improved. Installation work, piping work, and electric work of the steam generator (1) are simplified. In some cases, it becomes possible to install a steam generator simultaneously with the installation of the installation site. Furthermore, no special space is required for installation, space can be saved, and the internal space of the installation site can be effectively used. For example, the steam generator (1) can be accommodated within the outer dimensions of the inner wall of the installation site. Then, the steam generator (1) can be inspected from inside the installation site, and the inspection becomes easy and the maintainability is improved.

FIGS. 6 and 7 are a perspective view and a sectional view showing another example of the mounting structure of the steam generator of the present invention. 6 and 7 show the case where the steam generator (1) is built in the cover (3). In this example, a plurality of ventilation holes are provided above and below the cover (3) facing the steam generator (1). When the steam generator (1) is installed together with the cover (3) on the inner wall (2) of an installation site such as a bathroom or a shower room, the ventilation holes are aligned with the ventilation holes on the inner wall (2). In this case, for example, a ventilation pipe (24) and a fastener (25) as shown in FIG. 8 are used so that hot water or moisture does not enter through the connection portion of these ventilation holes. As illustrated in FIG. 7, for example, a ventilation pipe (24) is inserted into a ventilation hole provided on the back surface of the cover (3), and is tightened with a fastener (25) from the back of the wall, and the ventilation hole on the back surface of the cover (3). And the ventilation hole of the inner wall portion (2) are connected in an air-tight manner to allow communication. By doing this,
Hot water or moisture can be prevented from entering the inside of the cover (3) from the outside. Then, while the steam generator (1) is housed inside, the cover (3) body is fixed to the inner wall (2) via the moisture-proof packing (15). At the time of the fixing, as shown in FIG. 6, the mounting brackets (5) and (6) are used as in the example of FIG. In the case of the example of FIG. 6, since the steam generator (1) is built in the cover (3), the mounting bracket (6) has its fixing piece (12) applied to the upper part of both sides of the cover (3). Touch and fix. On the other hand, the mounting bracket (5) is fixed by abutting a fixing piece (7) on the inner wall portion (2) at a position corresponding to the mounting bracket (6). Along with engagement and support by the mounting brackets (5) and (6), the peripheral portion of the cover (3) is fixed with screws or the like,
The steam generator (1) can be attached to the inner wall (2) of the installation site together with the cover (3). The steam generator (1) can be installed and fixed to an inner wall portion of a bathroom, a shower room, or the like while securing air permeability as well as moisture resistance and waterproofness. Also in this case, the attachment is simple and easy.

Of course, the present invention is not limited by the above examples. It goes without saying that various aspects are possible for details such as the configuration and structure of the steam generator and the type, configuration and structure of the installation site.
