(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1, a sauna apparatus provided with a water supply unit 1, a heating unit 2, a spray unit 3, a drainage unit 4, a fan motor 5 as a blower unit, and an outside temperature sensor 6 as a temperature detection unit in the device. 7. The water supply section 1 is provided with a water supply circuit 8 for supplying water for spraying and an electromagnetic valve 9 as an opening / closing means for controlling water flow, and the heating section 2 is used as a heating means for heating the water supply. The plate type heat exchanger 10 and the heat source circuit 12 connected with the hot water circuit 11 are provided, and the spray unit 3 sprays water to the spray chamber 13 at the tip of the electromagnetic valve 9 of the water supply unit 1, that is, downstream. The nozzle 14 is provided, and the residual water in the spray chamber 13 is drained by the drainage means 4, and the air humidified by spraying in the spray chamber 13 is transported to the bathroom by the fan motor 5. To do. The residual water in the spray chamber 13 is the residual water remaining in the apparatus without being blown out into the bathroom among the water sprayed from the nozzle 14, and the water in which the sprayed water has condensed in the spray chamber 13 is also included. Including.

  In the above configuration, when the external temperature sensor 6 detects 2 degrees Celsius or less, the heat source device 12 operates and supplies hot water to the plate heat exchanger 10 through the hot water circuit 11.

  By supplying hot water to the plate heat exchanger 10, the plate heat exchanger 10 is heated, and heat is exchanged with respect to the water supply circuit 8 inside the plate heat exchanger 10, and the water supply circuit 8 and When water is present inside, the water inside the water supply circuit 8 is also heated. The water in the water supply circuit 8 is heated by the plate heat exchanger 10 as a heating means that has reached a high temperature, whereby the nozzle 14 as a spraying means is also heated and freezing is prevented. The high temperature is sufficient if the water in the water supply circuit 8 and the nozzle 14 can be prevented from freezing, and is a temperature heated to about 80 ° C. in the first embodiment of the present invention.

The heated water supply circuit 8 and the water in the water supply circuit 8 are each transmitted as heat to the entire water supply circuit 8 as a heat conductor, and also to the nozzle 14 connected by a component that is not a heat insulating structure.

Further, since the plate heat exchanger 10 itself is heated by hot water, the heat generated from the plate heat exchanger 10 spreads throughout the interior of the sauna device 7 using air as a heat conductor, and is provided in the sauna device 7. The part 1, the spray part 3, and the drainage means 4 are heated.

  Thereby, the temperature of the water supply part 1, the spray part 3, and the drainage means 4 rises to a temperature that does not lead to freezing, and the freezing can be prevented without any restriction on the piping.

  Moreover, by installing the plate heat exchanger 10 below the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage means 4, heat is transmitted indirectly and directly to the water supply unit 1 and the spray unit 3, which is more efficient. Freezing can be prevented. Here, the lower side is only required to heat the water supply unit, the spray unit, and the drainage unit to be protected from freezing. For example, the lower side is located about 100 to 200 mm below the three parts in the actual installation state.

  When the outside temperature sensor 6 becomes 2 degrees Celsius or more, the heat source machine 12 stops, stops the supply of hot water, and ends the freeze prevention.

  Although the temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 6 that starts and ends the freeze prevention operation is 2 degrees Celsius, the temperature is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

  In addition, although the fan motor was used as the blowing means, the solenoid valve was used as the opening / closing means, the nozzle was used as the spraying means, and the plate heat exchanger was used as the heating means, the present invention is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

  By constantly passing water through the nozzle 14 to the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage unit 4, the amount of water is reduced, and the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage unit 4 are frozen with a small amount of water, and the equipment Since the nozzle 14 is provided inside, it is possible to prevent the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage unit 4 from being frozen without draining into the bathroom.

(Embodiment 2)

  As shown in FIG. 2, an outside temperature sensor 6 that detects the temperature outside the device, a bath room temperature sensor 15 that detects the temperature on the bathroom side of the device, and a nozzle temperature that detects the temperature of the spray unit 3 inside the device. The sauna device 7 including one or a plurality of sensors 16 is configured.

  In the above configuration, when any one of the outside temperature sensor 6, the bath room temperature sensor 15, and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 is provided in the sauna device 7, freezing prevention is performed by the provided sensor.

For example, in the sauna device 7 in which only the bath room temperature sensor 15 is installed, the freeze prevention described in the first embodiment is performed when the bath room temperature sensor 15 becomes 2 degrees Celsius or less.

In the sauna device 7 in which only the nozzle temperature sensor 16 is installed, the freeze prevention described in the first embodiment is performed when the nozzle temperature sensor 16 becomes 2 degrees Celsius or less.

  When the sauna device 7 is stopped, since there is no large heat generating part inside the sauna device 7, the outside temperature sensor 6 and the bath room temperature sensor 15 detect a temperature without a significant difference. Can detect a substitute temperature for the outside temperature sensor 6.

  In addition, since the outside temperature sensor 6 and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 both detect the temperature of the water supply circuit 8 at the time of stoppage, the nozzle temperature sensor 16 detects a temperature that can be substituted for the outside temperature sensor 6. it can.

  When two or all of the temperature sensors of the outside temperature sensor 6, the bath room temperature sensor 15, and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 are provided in the sauna device 7, the temperature sensors are prioritized, The temperature detected by the high-priority temperature sensor is used for anti-freezing control. In the unlikely event that the high-priority temperature sensor fails, the temperature detected by the next highest-priority temperature sensor is substituted.

  For example, in the sauna apparatus 7 provided with the outside temperature sensor 6, the bath room temperature sensor 15, and the nozzle temperature sensor 16, the priority order for detecting the freeze prevention control is set as the outside temperature sensor 6, the nozzle temperature sensor 16, the bath room temperature. The order of the sensor 15 is determined.

  In the normal state, when the outside temperature sensor 6 becomes 2 degrees Celsius or less, the freeze prevention described in the first embodiment is performed.

  Next, in the unlikely event that the out-of-machine temperature sensor 6 fails, the freeze prevention described in the first embodiment is performed when the nozzle temperature sensor 16 having the next highest priority falls below 2 degrees Celsius.

Next, when both the outside temperature sensor 6 and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 fail , the freezing described in the first embodiment is performed when the temperature becomes 2 degrees Celsius or less by the bath room temperature sensor 15 having the next highest priority. Implement anti-caking.

  In addition, although the detection temperature of the outside temperature sensor 6, the bath room temperature sensor 15, and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 that starts and ends freezing prevention is set to 2 degrees Celsius, the same effect can be obtained if it is obtained. It is not limited.

  The priority order for detecting anti-freezing is the order of the outside temperature sensor 6, the nozzle temperature sensor 16, and the bath room temperature sensor 15. However, the order is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

  In the above configuration, in the sauna apparatus 7 provided with the outside temperature sensor 6 or the bath room temperature sensor 15 and the nozzle temperature sensor 16, the outside temperature sensor 6 or the bath room temperature sensor 15 detects 2 degrees Celsius or less. The freeze prevention described in the first embodiment is performed.

  During freezing prevention, the nozzle temperature sensor 16 constantly detects the temperature of the nozzle 14 or the water supply circuit 8, and the nozzle temperature can be detected even if the outside temperature sensor 6 or the bath room temperature sensor 15 does not detect more than 2 degrees Celsius. When the sensor 16 detects 2 degrees Celsius or more, the freeze prevention is finished.

For example, when the outside temperature sensor 6 detects 1 degree Celsius and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 detects 3 degrees Celsius when the freeze prevention described in the first embodiment is performed, the outside temperature sensor 6 But

Freezing prevention ends even if 2 degrees Celsius or less is detected.

  The temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 6, the bath room temperature sensor 15, and the nozzle temperature sensor 16 that starts and ends freezing prevention is set to 2 degrees Celsius. However, this is not limited as long as the same effect can be obtained. is not.

(Embodiment 3)
Next, Embodiment 3 of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The same parts as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the freeze prevention control method is changed at the temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 6.

  First, in S101, the outside temperature sensor 6 detects the temperature. When the temperature is higher than 5 degrees Celsius, normal operation is performed as shown in S102, and when the temperature is 5 degrees Celsius or less, the temperature is determined again in S103.

  As shown in S103, when the temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 6 is higher than 3 degrees Celsius and lower than 5 degrees Celsius, as shown in S104, the heat source machine 12 is turned on for 10 minutes and turned off for 20 minutes. repeat.

  If the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is 3 degrees Celsius or less, the temperature is determined again as shown in S105. If the temperature is higher than 1 degree Celsius and 3 degrees Celsius or less, the process is shown in S106. Thus, the heat source machine 12 is turned on for 10 minutes and turned off for 10 minutes.

  If the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is 1 degree Celsius or less, the heat source device 12 is continuously turned on as shown in S107.

  In addition, it is assumed that the outside temperature sensor 6 always detects the temperature and also performs temperature determination at all times, and the operation of the heat source device 12 is always switched to the operation corresponding to the temperature condition.

  For example, when the external temperature sensor 6 detects a temperature higher than 3 ° C. and lower than 5 ° C., the heat source device 12 is repeatedly turned on for 10 minutes and turned off for 20 minutes, and the external temperature sensor 6 is higher than 1 ° C. and lower than 3 ° C. When the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is high, such as repeatedly turning on the heat source device 10 for 10 minutes and turning off the heat source 12 for 10 minutes, the time for turning off the electromagnetic valve 9 is lengthened. The running cost during the operation of the machine 12 can be reduced.

  In addition, although the threshold value was provided at the detection temperature of the freeze prevention control of the outside temperature sensor 6 at 1 ° C., 3 ° C., and 5 ° C., it is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

  In addition, although the operation time of the heat source machine 12 was 10 minutes and 20 minutes, if the same effect is obtained, it will not restrict to this.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the freeze prevention control method is changed at the temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 6.

First, the external temperature sensor 6 detects the temperature in S108, and if it is higher than 5 degrees Celsius, the normal operation is performed as shown in S109, and if it is 5 degrees Celsius or less, the temperature is determined again in S110.

As shown in S110, when the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is higher than 3 degrees Celsius and lower than 5 degrees Celsius, as shown in S111, the electromagnetic valve 9 is repeatedly opened for 10 minutes and closed for 20 minutes. .

  If the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is 3 degrees Celsius or less, the temperature is determined again as shown in S112. If the temperature is higher than 1 degree Celsius and 3 degrees Celsius or less, the process is shown in S113. Thus, the electromagnetic valve 9 is repeatedly opened and closed for 10 minutes.

  When the temperature detected by the outside temperature sensor 6 is 1 degree Celsius or less, the solenoid valve 9 is continuously opened as shown in S114.

  In addition, it is assumed that the outside temperature sensor 6 constantly detects the temperature and always performs the temperature determination, and the operation of the electromagnetic valve 9 is always switched to the operation corresponding to the temperature condition.

  For example, when the outside temperature sensor 6 detects a temperature higher than 3 ° C. and lower than 5 ° C., the solenoid valve 9 is repeatedly opened for 10 minutes and closed for 20 minutes, and the outside temperature sensor 6 is higher than 1 ° C. and lower than 3 ° C. When detected, when the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is high, such as repeatedly opening the electromagnetic valve 9 for 10 minutes and closing for 10 minutes, the time for closing the electromagnetic valve 9 is lengthened, Can reduce running costs.

  In addition, although the threshold value is set at the temperature of 1 ° C., 3 ° C., and 5 ° C. as the detection temperature for preventing freezing of the outside temperature sensor 6, it is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

  Although the opening / closing time of the electromagnetic valve 9 is 10 minutes and 20 minutes, it is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

(Embodiment 4)

  In the above configuration, when the outside temperature sensor 6 recognizes minus 5 degrees Celsius or less, the electromagnetic valve 9 shown in the first embodiment is opened and water is supplied to the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage means 4. While preventing the freeze, the bypass solenoid valve 18 is opened, and the water supply unit 1, the spray chamber 13, and the drainage unit 4 are allowed to pass through the water amount that is several times as much as when passing through the nozzle 14 from the bypass circuit 17. In addition, several times the amount of water that is passed through the nozzle 14 is passed, and freezing can be prevented even when the temperature detected by the external temperature sensor 6 is significantly below 0 degrees Celsius.

  At the location of the nozzle 14, the bypass solenoid valve 18 is opened, so that all of the water at the location of the nozzle 14 is drained from the bypass circuit 17 to the spray chamber 13, thereby preventing freezing.

  In addition, although the detection temperature for preventing freezing of the outside temperature sensor 6 is set to minus 5 degrees Celsius, the temperature is not limited to this as long as the same effect can be obtained.

Since the spray chamber 13 gets wet by spraying from the nozzle 14, the spray unit 3 is dried by removing water droplets and moisture from the fan motor 5 as drying means by wind pressure after the end of freezing prevention. Can prevent the occurrence of fungi and mold.

  As another drying means, the plate heat exchanger 10 as the heating means, the hot water circuit 11 and the heat source unit 12 in the heating unit 2 are used to heat the plate heat exchanger 10 and heat the spray chamber 13. Thus, there is means for evaporating and removing water droplets and moisture inside the spray chamber 13.

  In the above configuration, the spray chamber 13 is sprayed from the nozzle 14 during prevention of freezing by opening the electromagnetic valve 9 and passing water through the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage means 4 shown in the first embodiment. Because many water droplets and moisture may be generated and leak into the bathroom, the open / close louver 19 provided at the outlet to the bathroom is automatically closed at the same time as freezing prevention is started, and water droplets and moisture are collected in the bathroom. It can be prevented from leaking.

  In addition, during the freeze prevention shown in the first embodiment by opening the electromagnetic valve 9 and passing water through the water supply unit 1, the spray unit 3, and the drainage means 4, an operation in which the fan motor 5 operates before the freeze prevention is performed. Even when it is, the fan motor 5 can be stopped to prevent water droplets and moisture from leaking into the bathroom.

  Further, by stopping the fan motor 5 and spraying it directly onto the fan motor 5 from the nozzle 14, compared with the time of operation of the fan motor 5, there is no need for fine water droplets generated by crushing due to collision with the fan motor 5. Water can be reduced, and water can be effectively used to prevent freezing.

  It can be applied to an object that uses water and prevents freeze in an apparatus including a nozzle.
