  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

( Reference form 1)
FIG. 1 is an installation image diagram of the sauna system of Reference Embodiment 1 . FIG. 2 shows an internal structure diagram of the heating means and the humidifying means in the sauna system of Reference Embodiment 1 . FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically illustrating the configuration of the humidifying unit 1 in the sauna system according to Reference Embodiment 1.

  As shown in FIG. 1, a humidifier 4 and a heater 5 connected to a ceiling surface of a bathroom 101 via a hot water pipe 3 and a water heater 2 as a heat source provided on the outer side surface of the bathroom 101 are installed. The heating means 5 is a bathroom dryer 6 and is connected to a duct 7 whose one side is connected to the outside, while the humidifying means 4 and the heating means 5 are electrically connected to a control circuit 8 and further to the control circuit. 8 is electrically connected to the temperature / humidity detection means 11 and the first notification means 12 installed in the space of the adjacent room 10 adjacent to each other through the bathroom 101 and the bathroom door 9.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the humidifying means 4 for heating and humidifying the air includes a humidifying unit 1, a blower 13, a humidifying hot water circuit 14, a heat exchanger 15, a hot water circulating means 16, a water storage part 17, and a water supply means 18. A humidification hot water circuit 14 that circulates and supplies hot water is connected to the humidification unit 1, and air such as a bathroom or a shower room that is a heating and humidification space is supplied by a blower 13. The humidification hot water circuit 14 is connected to a water storage unit 17, a pump 16 as a hot water circulation unit, a heat exchanger 15 and the humidification unit 1, and water or hot water stored in the water storage unit 17 is heated by the hot water circulation unit 16. It is configured by a circuit that passes through the humidifier 1 via the exchanger 15 and returns to the water reservoir 17 again. A water supply pipe 18 is connected to the water pipe as a water supply means in the water storage section 17, and a water level sensor 19 is provided as a fixed amount water storage means for detecting the water level in the water storage section 17. If the capacity is increased too much, the amount of water and heat will be wasted. On the other hand, if the capacity is too small, the frequency of water supply will increase and the water temperature in the reservoir 17 will decrease each time when the supplied water is cold water. In addition, since the performance of the sauna device is temporarily reduced, about 3 to 4 L is preferable when the humidification amount is 4 L / hour. Although the water supply means of the embodiment is a water pipe having a head pressure, it may be a water heater 2 having a head pressure, and may be provided with a pump when supplying water having no head pressure or hot water.

  The water supply pipe 18 is provided with a water supply shut-off valve 20 and further with water purification means 21. The water supplied from the water supply pipe 18 as the water supply means is supplied to the water storage section 17 by removing impurities mixed in the water by the water purification means 21 when the water supply shutoff valve 12 is open. The supplied water is stored in the water storage unit 17 and the humidified hot water circuit 14, and when a certain amount of water is stored, the water level sensor 19 which is a fixed amount of water storage means detects and sends a signal to close the water supply shutoff valve 20. As a result, the water supply shutoff valve 20 is closed and the water supply to the water storage unit 17 is stopped. When the amount of water stored in the water storage section 17 decreases, the water level sensor 19 detects it and sends a signal to open the water supply shutoff valve 20, whereby the water supply shutoff valve 20 is opened and water supply is started again. The same effect can be obtained by using a ball tap in which the water level sensor 19 and the water supply shutoff valve 20 are integrated.

  A primary hot water circuit 19 that is a heating circulation piping system of the water heater 2 as an external heat source is connected to the heat exchanger 15. In the primary hot water circuit 19, hot water heated by the water heater 2 as a heat source circulates. The hot water supplied from the water heater 2 as a heat source always supplies the heat exchanger 15 with a constant temperature of about 80 ° C. and a flow rate of about 2 L / min. That is, the heat exchanger 15 is always provided with the same amount of heat from the primary hot water circuit 19. The hot water that has passed through the heat exchanger 15 is returned to the hot water heater 2 by the primary hot water circuit 19, is heated again, and is circulated and supplied to the heat exchanger 15.

  On the other hand, the humidified hot water circuit 14 includes a secondary flow rate adjusting means 23. The secondary flow rate adjusting means 23 is a constant flow valve and always maintains a constant flow rate of water discharged from the pump 16 which is a hot water circulation means. It is. For this reason, a constant amount of water or hot water always flows in the humidified hot water circuit 14, and a constant flow rate of water, that is, humidified hot water circuit circulating water, always flows in the heat exchanger 15. The heat exchanger 15 always receives a certain amount of heat from the water heater 2 as an external heat source by a primary supply temperature flow rate adjusting means (not shown) provided in the water heater 2. The circulating water in the humidified hot water circuit that has passed through is supplied to the humidifying unit 1 with a constant amount of heat, and heated humidified air with a constant amount of heat is always blown out from the humidifying unit 1. In this embodiment, the secondary flow rate adjusting means 23 is provided. However, the pump 15 as the hot water circulating means is allowed to have the same discharge amount or performance in different regions of the power supply frequency, and the pressure in the humidifying hot water circuit 14 is increased. If the loss and the performance of the pump 16 are tuned, they may be omitted.

  A drainage opening / closing means 24 for draining the stored water is provided below the water storage unit 17. The drainage opening / closing means 24 is composed of a drainage pipe and a drainage opening / closing valve. The drainage pipe has a sufficient gradient to drain the water stored in the water storage part 17 or hot water. When the drainage opening / closing valve is opened, the water storage part 17 stores water. The discharged water or warm water is drained. The drain opening / closing means 24 is electrically connected to the control circuit 8, and the control circuit 8 transmits a drain valve opening / closing signal to the drain opening / closing means 24. The drain on / off valve is normally open when the device is stopped, that is, it stands by in the drain mode. When the sauna operation is started, that is, when the hot water circulating means 16 and the blower 13 are started, a signal is sent from the control circuit 8 so that the drain valve is closed and the drain opening / closing means 24 is in the water supply mode. On the other hand, a signal is sent from the control circuit 8 after the sauna operation is stopped, that is, after a certain period of time when the operation of the hot water circulation means 16 and the blower 13 is stopped, the drain valve is automatically opened, and the drain opening / closing means 24 is in the drain mode. After a certain period of time, the chlorine in the water is within the time to suppress the growth of bacteria in the water, and although it depends on the water temperature, generally, if it is within 24 hours at room temperature, the bacteria will propagate due to residual chlorine in the tap water. Since it is suppressed, it is within 24 hours at the longest. On the other hand, the hot water stored in the water storage part 17 is 60 to 70 ° C., so the drain pipe constructed in the drain opening / closing means 24 is not heat resistant. Since there is a problem such as a crack in the drain pipe, the warm water stored in the water storage section 17 must be allowed to flow after leaving the warm water for about 3 to 10 minutes for about 3 to 10 minutes. Within 24 hours after water supply from the time until the water temperature drops.

  Further, an overflow detection means 25 which is a water level sensor is provided on the upper part of the water storage unit 17. Water storage when the water supply means 18 for supplying water fails, the water supply cannot be stopped due to a failure of the fixed amount water storage means 8, or when the primary hot water 22 leaks inside the heat exchanger 15 and enters the humidified hot water circuit 14. The amount of water held in the unit 17 exceeds a certain amount, an abnormality is detected by the overflow detection means 25, a signal is sent to the electrically connected control circuit 8, and the water supply closing means 21 and the drainage opening / closing means 24 are sent from the control circuit 8. A signal is sent to the hot water circulation means 16 and the blower 13, the water supply closing means 21 performs an operation of stopping the water supply operation, and the drainage opening / closing means 24 performs an operation of opening a drainage valve in a drainage mode, while the hot water circulation means 16 The blower 13 stops.

Figure 3 is an explanatory view schematically illustrating the configuration of the humidifying unit 1 in the sauna apparatus according to the first embodiment of the reference. As shown in FIG. 3, the humidifying unit 1 has a moisture permeable membrane 26 having a water vapor permeability interposed therebetween, and a hot water passage 19 through which hot water is circulated on one side of the membrane and an air channel 20 through which air is circulated on the opposite side are formed. It has been configured.

The basic operation of the sauna apparatus according to the reference embodiment having the above-described configuration is as follows.

  Hot water in the humidified hot water circuit 14 is circulated in the humidifying unit 1 by the pump 16, and heat is exchanged with the hot water in the primary hot water circuit 10 in the heat exchanger 15 to be heated to a predetermined temperature. The temperature at this time is about 70 ° C. when the temperature of the hot water in the primary hot water circuit 10 is about 80 ° C. The hot water in the humidified hot water circuit 14 thus heated is supplied to the humidifying unit 1 and passes through the hot water path 19. At this time, only moisture vapor passes through the moisture permeable membrane having water vapor permeability and diffuses to the opposite side of the moisture permeable membrane, that is, the air path 20 side. The remaining warm water passes through the humidification unit 1 and circulates in the humidification warm water circuit 14 as it is. On the other hand, the intake air is supplied to the humidifying unit 1 by the blower 13 and passes through the air path 20. At this time, the air is humidified by the water vapor permeated from the hot water path 19 side and heated by heat exchange with the hot water. Then, the heated and humidified air is blown out into a bathroom or a shower room as a heated humidified space. Thus, the air in the bathroom or shower room is heated and humidified, and the indoor temperature and humidity conditions suitable for the sauna bath, that is, the temperature is maintained at about 40 to 50 ° C. and the relative humidity is maintained at about 70% or more.

In the sauna apparatus of this reference example, only the water vapor is supplied from the hot water circulating in the humidifying hot water circuit 14 to the air through the moisture permeable membrane 26 in the humidifying unit 1, and the remaining hot water is circulated through the humidifying hot water circuit 14 again. After being heated by the exchanger 15, it is supplied to the humidifier 1 again. For this reason, the energy which the remaining warm water holds can be reused effectively, and efficient humidification is possible. As a result, the amount of hot water used and the amount of heating for raising the temperature of the hot water to a predetermined temperature are reduced, and the running cost can be suppressed.

  Moreover, it is the structure which supplies only the water vapor | steam which permeate | transmitted the moisture-permeable film 26 to air instead of ejecting warm water in the air. For this reason, fine water droplets are not blown into the bathroom and do not touch the bather's body, which makes the body feel comfortable.

  On the other hand, when the humidifying means 4 and the heating means 5 are operated, the 101 air in the bathroom expands. For example, if the temperature / humidity 101 in the bathroom before operating the humidifying means 4 and the heating means 5 is 20 ° C./60% and the temperature / humidity during operation is 40 ° C./90%, the volume of air in the bathroom 101 is about 1. When the size of the bathroom 101 is 1600 mm × 1600 mm × 2200 mm, air of about 0.7 cubic meters becomes excessive. Obviously, the lower the temperature and humidity before operation, the greater the excess air. When the bathroom 101 is a sealed space, the pressure in the space in the bathroom 101 is high. Here, if the bathroom door 9 is provided with a ventilation louver 27 that allows the bathroom 101 and the adjacent room 10 to communicate with each other, the bathroom 101 has a positive pressure because the air is inflated with respect to the adjacent room 10. The high-temperature and high-humidity air in the bathroom 101 will leak into the adjacent room 10. On the other hand, since the temperature in the adjacent room 10 is naturally lower than the temperature in the bathroom 101, the leaked high-temperature and high-humidity air is cooled, and dew condensation occurs in the adjacent room 10 when this temperature falls below the dew point temperature. This dew condensation often occurs on the wall surface of the adjacent room 10 and the like, which causes generation of mold and the like.

  In order to suppress mold generated in the adjacent room 10, the sauna system suppresses leakage of high-temperature and high-humidity air to the adjacent room 10, so that the negative pressure means 6 in the bathroom 6 or the door opening detection means 11 and the first notification means 12 are combined. The moisture leak prevention means is provided.

  The negative pressure means 6 in the bathroom, which is the first means for preventing moisture leakage, will be described. A temperature / humidity detecting means 11 for detecting the air temperature and humidity of the adjacent room 10 on the wall surface of the adjacent room 10 communicating with the bathroom 101 through the bathroom door 9 and a third party outside the bathroom by sound or display. One notification means 12 is installed, and the temperature / humidity detection means 11 and the first notification means 12 are electrically connected to the control circuit 8, and the control circuit 8 is electrically connected to the humidification means 4 and the heating means 5. Has been.

  The heating means 5 is a bathroom dryer 6, and a micro ventilation as a heating means 30 constituted by a heat exchanger 28 for heating and a hot air blowing means 29 inside, and a negative pressure means in the bathroom for discharging the air of the bathroom 101 to the outdoors 31. Means 6 are provided. The micro-ventilation means 6 is a bathroom dryer 6, and the bathroom dryer 6 and the humidifying means 41 are electrically connected.

  The bathroom dryer 6 has a first opening (not shown) at a portion in contact with the bathroom 101, and the inside of the bathroom 101 and the inside of the bathroom dryer 6 are communicated with each other through the opening. The heating means 30 sucks air from the inside of the bathroom by operating the hot air fan 29 which is the hot air blowing means 29, and is connected to the hot water heater 2 by the primary hot water pipe 19 and supplied with hot water by the primary hot water pipe 19. The warm air is blown out to the bathroom 101 through the heating heat exchanger 28. On the other hand, the ventilation means 38 discharges the air sucked from the bathroom 101 through the duct 7 connected to the outdoor 31 from the bathroom dryer 6 to the outdoor 31 when the ventilation fan 33 operates.

  The humidifying means 4 is driven by the blower 13 and the circulating hot water means 15 to produce heated humidified air in the humidifying section 1 and blows the heated humidified air into the bathroom 101 through the outlet 37.

  On the other hand, the bathroom dryer 6 as the heating means 12 electrically receives a signal from the humidifying means 41 and sucks 101 air in the bathroom by the operation of the hot air fan 29, and the hot water heater 2 and the primary hot water pipe 19. By passing through the communicating heating means 30, the hot air is blown out to the bathroom 101. Further, the ventilation fan 33 sucks 101 air in the bathroom and discharges it to the outdoors 31 through the duct 7. At this time, the bathroom temperature / humidity detection unit 34 detects the temperature / humidity in the bathroom 101 and transmits the detected temperature / humidity to the control circuit 8, and the control circuit 8 estimates the degree of expansion of the air in the bathroom based on the increased value of the temperature / humidity and rotates the ventilation fan 33. The number is changed, and the interior of the bathroom 101 is always controlled to be a negative pressure with respect to the adjacent room 10. As a result, the ventilation fan 33 is constantly finely ventilated when the temperature and humidity in the bathroom 101 rise, so that the bathroom 101 becomes negative pressure from the adjacent room 10 and the heated humidified air does not leak from the bathroom 101 to the adjacent room 10. That is, generation | occurrence | production of mold | fungi | mold on the adjacent chamber 10 wall surface etc. can be suppressed. In addition, although it described that the inside of a bathroom was made into a negative pressure in a present Example, when the micro-ventilation means 6 as a bathroom equal pressure means made into the same pressure with respect to the adjacent room 10 is operate | moved, the bathroom 101 and the adjacent room 10 are the same pressure. The flow of air does not occur, and there is little leakage of heated humidified air from the bathroom 101 to the adjacent room 10, and the amount of heat is not exhausted more than necessary, resulting in an economical sauna system with less heat loss and humidification loss.

  Next, a combination of the door opening detection means 11 and the first notification means 12 which is the second means of the moisture leakage prevention means will be described.

  When the humidifying means 4 or the heating means 5 operates while the bathroom door 9 is open, the heated humidified air leaks to the adjacent chamber 10 more than necessary even if the ventilation fan 33 is operating. The temperature / humidity detection means 11 as the door opening detection means 11 provided in the adjacent room 10 detects the temperature / humidity of the adjacent room 10 and communicates the detected value to the control circuit 8. When the door 9 is closed, if the control circuit 8 determines that the temperature rise value is higher than the temperature rise value due to radiant heat from the bathroom door 9 or the bathroom wall surface, or if the humidity rises, the control circuit 8 A signal is sent to the first notification means 12 connected to the first notification means 12, and the first notification means 12 notifies the outside of the bathroom by voice or the like. The control circuit 8 stores in advance a temperature humidity increase value for a predetermined time, for example, 5 minutes with respect to the temperature and humidity before starting the sauna, and stores it after 5 minutes with respect to the temperature and humidity of the adjacent room 10 before starting the sauna. By comparing with a certain rise value, the level with respect to the temperature rise value is judged. The user who has confirmed the abnormality by the notification confirms the state of the bathroom door 9, and closing the bathroom door 9 eliminates leakage of high-temperature and high-humidity air to the adjacent room 10.

  Although the temperature / humidity detecting means 11 is used as the door opening detecting means of the present embodiment, a mechanical limit switch for recognizing the open / closed state of the door may be used for the bathroom door 9, and there is no difference in operational effects.

  Further, when the control circuit 8 determines that the temperature or humidity rise in the adjacent chamber 10 has continued for a certain period of time, for example, about 5 minutes after being notified by the first notification means 12, the humidification means electrically connected. 4 and the heating means 5 are sent, and the humidifying means 4 and the heating means 5 are automatically stopped. As a result, since the user has moved to a place where the first notification means 12 cannot be heard, the notification from the first notification means 12 is not noticed and the bathroom door 9 is not closed. The damage caused by the moisture leak in the adjacent chamber 10 can be minimized even when a large amount of heated humidified air leaks.

In the present reference example is obtained with the bath temperature humidity sensor 34 inside the humidification unit 4, the same be placed alone into the heating unit 5 or bath 101, no where no change in its effect .
