  In such a conventional sauna apparatus, when a user tries to obtain a cool feeling, a means for spraying cold water mist and operating a circulation fan to blow air has been taken. In addition, there is a problem that warm air is blown in a state where the temperature of the heating unit that heats air is high, and a cool feeling that the user can satisfy cannot be obtained.

  The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and provides a sauna apparatus that can provide a cool feeling that a user can satisfy even when the temperature of a heating unit that heats air is high. With the goal.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a circulation air blowing unit that circulates bathroom air in the main body, a heating unit for heating air, a nozzle unit that generates mist, and the nozzle unit. A heat exchanger for heating the feed water, a pipe for guiding hot water heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger or cold water not heat-exchanged to the nozzle part, a control part for controlling the circulation fan part and the heating part, When the temperature of the heating unit is high and the user tries to obtain a cool feeling, the circulating air blowing unit is stopped and the cold water is guided to the pipe and ejected from the nozzle unit. To achieve the intended purpose.

  According to the present invention, a circulating air blowing unit that circulates bathroom air in the main body, a heating unit for heating the air, a nozzle unit that generates mist, and heat for heating the water supply to the nozzle unit An exchanger, a pipe for guiding hot water that has been heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger or cold water that is not heat-exchanged to the nozzle unit, and a control unit that controls the circulation fan unit and the heating unit, and the temperature of the heating unit When the temperature is high and the user tries to obtain a cool feeling, the circulating air blowing unit is stopped, and the cooling water is guided to the pipe and ejected from the nozzle unit, thereby heating the air. Even if the temperature is high, it is possible to obtain an effect that a cool feeling that can be satisfied by the user can be obtained.

  The sauna apparatus according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a circulation blower that circulates bathroom air in the body, a heating part for heating the air, a nozzle part that generates mist, and water supply to the nozzle part A heat exchanger for heating the pipe, a pipe for guiding hot water heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger or cold water not heat-exchanged to the nozzle part, and a control part for controlling the circulation fan part and the heating part. When the temperature of the heating unit is high and the user tries to obtain a cool feeling, the circulating air blowing unit is stopped, and the cold water is guided to the pipe and ejected from the nozzle unit.

  As a result, when the temperature of the heating unit that heats air is high, circulating air flow is stopped, cold water is guided to the nozzle unit, and cold water mist is generated, so that the temperature of the heating unit that heats air is high. Even if it exists, there exists an effect that the cool feeling which a user can satisfy can be acquired.

  Moreover, you may make it the structure which provided the heat source which heats feed water, and provided the switching valve in piping which circulates this heat source and a heat exchanger. As a result, even when the feed water led to the nozzle part always passes through the heat exchanger, the feed water sent to the heat exchanger is heated because the heat transfer medium can be prevented from circulating in the heat exchanger by the switching valve. Even if the temperature of the heating part that heats the air is high, there is an effect that a cool feeling that the user can satisfy can be obtained.

  Moreover, you may make it a structure which comprises a circulation ventilation part with a DC motor and a fan. Thereby, since the rotation speed of the fan of a circulation ventilation part will be operated by a DC motor, there exists an effect that control of a circulation ventilation part can be performed easily.

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

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 17 of the sauna apparatus includes a circulating air blowing unit 1 that circulates the air 10 in the bathroom 9, a heating unit 2 that heats the air 10, and a nozzle unit 3 that generates mist. A liquid-liquid heat exchanger as a heat exchanger 4 for heating water supplied to the nozzle unit 3, a pipe 5 for supplying hot water or cold water to the nozzle unit 3, the circulation blower unit 1, and the A control unit 6 that controls the heating unit 2 is provided inside.

  A water heater 11 shown in FIG. 3 is installed on the outer wall surface of the bathroom 9 as a heat source for the heat exchanger 4, and the heat medium 12, which is hot water generated by the water heater 11, is interposed between the heat exchanger 4 and the water heater 11. It is circulating.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 4, a switching valve 14 that switches whether the heat medium 12 is guided to the heat exchanger 4 is provided in a pipe where the heat medium 12 returns from the heat exchanger 4 to the water heater 11.

  In the above configuration, the operation of the sauna operation will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in normal sauna operation, the water supply 13 to the heat exchanger 4 includes hot water sent from a water heater 11 serving as a heat medium 12 supplied to the heat exchanger 4, and the heat exchanger 4. By exchanging heat inside, it becomes warm water 15 and is ejected from the nozzle part 3 to the bathroom 9 as warm water mist.

  At the end of the sauna operation, when the temperature of the heating unit 2 for heating the air 10 is high and the user tries to obtain a cool feeling, the circulating air blowing unit 1 is stopped and hot water is supplied by the switching valve 14 as shown in FIG. The circulation of the heat medium 12 between the heat exchanger 11 and the heat exchanger 4 is stopped, heat exchange between the water supply 13 and the heat medium 12 is not performed, and the water supply 13 is led from the pipe 5 to the nozzle portion 3 with the cold water 16, and the nozzle portion 3. Generate cold water mist from 3.

  Therefore, even if the temperature of the heating unit that heats the air is high, the supply of hot air to the bathroom 9 is stopped by stopping the circulating air blowing unit 1, and the cold water mist is close to the water supply temperature, not the normal hot water mist. The user can get a cool feeling that can satisfy the user.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 2, the circulating air blower 1 is composed of a DC motor 7 and two fans 8, for example, a sirocco fan.

  With the above configuration, the rotational speed of the fan of the circulating air blowing unit 1 is operated by the DC motor 7 via the control unit 6.

  Therefore, the circulation air blower 1 can be easily controlled.

  As described above, the circulating air blowing unit 1 that circulates the air 10 of the bathroom 9 in the main body 17, the heating unit 2 for heating the air 10 of the bathroom 9, the nozzle unit 3 that generates mist, and the nozzle unit A heat exchanger 4 for heating the feed water 13 to the pipe 3, a pipe 5 for guiding the hot water 15 heat-exchanged by the heat exchanger 4 or the cold water 16 not to be heat-exchanged to the nozzle part 3, and the circulating air blowing part 1 And the control unit 6 that controls the heating unit 2, when the temperature of the heating unit 2 is high and when the user tries to obtain a cool feeling, the control unit 6 stops the circulating air blowing unit 1, The switching valve 14 stops the circulation of the heat medium 12 between the water heater 11 and the heat exchanger 4 so that the heat exchange between the water supply 13 and the heat medium 12 is not performed. To generate cold water mist from the nozzle part 3 By having a configuration, even in a state temperature is high heating section for heating the air to obtain the effect that it is possible to obtain the coolness that the user is satisfactory.

  The sauna apparatus according to the present invention stops the circulating air blowing unit and sprays cold water mist when the user tries to obtain a cool feeling, so that the user can be used even when the temperature of the air heating unit is high. Therefore, it is useful as a sauna device used for home use.
