Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Objective] The present invention relates to a steam generating unit that heats water sucked up by a capillary phenomenon with a water resistant heat generating panel to generate low temperature steam. [Composition] Water is poured into the open water tank 3 through the hot and cold water mixing valve 1 and the replacement filter 2. Open type water tank 3
A water level sensor 7, a water level control valve 8, an overblow pipe 9, and a water drain valve 10 are provided in the above. The injected water is sucked upward from the open water tank 3 by the heat-resistant sponge rubber 4 or the like due to the capillary phenomenon. The sucked water is heated by the electrically heated water-resistant heat-generating panel to become low-temperature steam. The generated steam is supplied into the room through the steam passage space 11 and the steam outlet 15. In order to control the generated steam temperature, a temperature sensor 12 is provided, and the controller 13 controls the temperature of the water resistant heat generating panel 5. Further, a heating prevention fuse 14 is built in the electrically heated water resistant heat generating panel 5 to provide a double safety device. The steam generator configured as described above is wrapped in a heat insulating casing to be integrated.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[001]

[Fields of application on leaves]

 This device uses a capillary phenomenon such as heat-resistant sponge rubber to absorb water, heat it with an electrically heated water-resistant heat-generating panel to generate low-temperature steam, and use a gap such as heat-resistant sponge rubber to pass steam. The present invention relates to a steam generation unit for supplying low-temperature steam into a bathroom and using it as a low-temperature steam sauna (wet sauna).

[002]

[Prior art]

 Conventional steam generators for bathrooms had methods such as gas-fired, kerosene-fired, and electric heating systems, but it is difficult to install them in a bathroom where the equipment is perforated, and there is a gap between the steam generator and the bathroom. While steam piping equipment was required, there was also a steam generator installed in the bathroom, but this was a system in which the hot water supply was opened directly, which was greatly affected by the capacity of the water heater.

[003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 This plan allows large-scale steam generators and steam piping equipment, which were problems with the conventional technology, to be installed in the bathroom, and also provides stable low-temperature steam without a water heater for steam generation. It intends to develop a steam generation unit that can be supplied to the bathroom.

[004]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The solution means will be described with reference to the drawings. (A) Water is poured into the open water tank 3 via the hot and cold water mixing valve 1 and the replacement filter 2. The open water tank 3 is provided with a water level sensor 7, a water level control valve 8, an overblow pipe 9, and a water drain valve 10. (B) A space 11 is provided for sucking water upward from the open-type water tank 3 by capillarity of the heat-resistant sponge rubber 4 and for passing when the sucked water is heated and becomes steam. (C) A heat-resistant sponge rubber 4 is sandwiched between electrically heated water-resistant heat-generating panels 5 to heat the absorbed water to generate low-temperature steam. A double safety device is provided by controlling the temperature of the panel 5 and further providing a heat protection fuse 14. (D) The above-mentioned 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 1213 are covered with a heat insulating casing 6 in order to form an integrated unit.

[0095]

[Action]

 Next, the operation of the present invention will be described. By installing a low temperature steam generating unit in the bathroom, it is possible to easily use the existing bathroom unit (which requires a certain degree of airtightness in the bathroom) Low temperature steam sauna (wet sauna) It can be used with. Further, by incorporating a low temperature steam generating unit in the bathroom unit, the function of (wet sauna) can be added to the bathroom unit.

[0096]

【Example】

 The object can be achieved even if the heat-resistant sponge rubber 4 is made of a material such as glass fiber that can be expected to have a capillary action and the steam passage space 11 has a cylindrical shape to secure the steam passage space. On the other hand, by incorporating the low-temperature steam generating unit of the present invention into a bathroom unit, it is possible to provide a multifunctional bathroom unit having a function as a low-temperature steam sauna (wet sauna).

[0097]

[Effect of device]

 Therefore, by installing a low temperature steam generation unit in the bathroom, it is possible to add the function of a low temperature steam sauna (wet sauna) including the existing bathroom unit to a high temperature sauna (dry sauna) for the elderly and children. By entering, even those with physical strain can sweat easily. The low-temperature steam sauna not only promotes metabolism, relaxes the mind and body and expands the enjoyment of bathing, but also can be expected to reduce stress. For Japan, which has a stressful modern society and a rapidly aging society, it is necessary to improve the bathroom function as a place for recovery of physiological and physical functions beyond the background of "Japanese who love baths". The present invention is a meaningful invention that responds to these social needs.
