Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] The present invention relates to improvements in sauna equipment.

In beauty centers, aerobics classes, etc., shower machines and sauna machines are installed, and the above-mentioned machines are used after sweating through exercise such as gymnastics.In such cases, people sweat a lot and lose weight. In recent years, there have been many accidents in which people try to bathe for too long, exceeding the normal limit of 30 minutes at a time, or fall asleep due to dehydration. In this case, even if such an accident does not occur, bathing for longer than the limit is not good for health.

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, this invention was devised for the purpose of accident prevention, which has not been done so far, and opens and closes in response to the opening/closing operation of a door lock member attached to the indoor side of the opening/closing door. Equipped with a door lock switch, when the door lock switch is closed, a timer is started, and when the set time elapses, the power to the electric heater is stopped to prevent accidents such as dehydration, and a buzzer etc. is activated. The purpose of this system is to improve usability and save power by alerting bathers and third parties, and by using the door lock to change the indoor light from dark to bright. It is.

The present invention will be described below based on an embodiment shown in the drawings. The sauna device 1 includes a sauna box 2
This is engaged with an interior electric heater 3, such as a far-infrared heater, an interior light 4, an opening/closing door 5 of the box 2, a door lock member 6 provided on the interior side of the box 2, and the same member 6. A door lock switch 8 constituted by a member 7 to be locked is provided.

Sauna Box 2 is made of wood etc. for the front, back,
It is formed into a box shape by the left and right walls, the ceiling walls, and the bottom, and inside the room there are also known chairs 9,
A receiving shelf 10, a towel rack 11, etc. are installed, and a control box 12 for adjusting the indoor temperature and humidity is installed on the upper left side of the front wall, and a ventilation opening 13 is formed in the ceiling wall. In the illustrated case, a plurality of electric heaters 3 using far infrared rays are installed on the indoor side of the left side wall and the right side wall, and the interior light 4 is installed on the upper part of the left side wall.

The illustrated opening/closing door 5 has an opening 14 formed in the front wall, and is screwed on the left side so as to be rotatable, and a glass window 15 is fitted in the center of the door so that the interior of the room can be seen from the outside. ing.

The door lock member 6 is located on the back side of the opening/closing door 5, that is, on the indoor side, and slides sideways onto a storage member 16 attached at a mid-high position on its free end side, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 5. The locked member 7, to which the door lock member 6 is locked by the sliding movement, is mounted on the front wall opposite the door lock member 6, and In the locked state, the opening/closing door 5 is locked and both are in a conductive state, so that
At this time, the door lock switch 8 is closed.

In the present invention, the following electric circuit is constituted by various necessary members including the door lock switch 8.

That is, as shown in FIG. 6, the power supply AC includes a power pilot lamp 17, a circuit in which a parallel circuit of a timer 18 and a first relay excitation coil 19 is connected in series to the door lock switch 8, and a first normally open timer. A series circuit of the contact 18a and the alarm 20 such as a buzzer, the interior light 4 and the first relay with the first relay normally open.
In a series circuit with the contact 19a, the same contact 19a
, a circuit in which a series circuit of the dimming circuit section 21 and the normally closed second contact 19b of the first relay is connected in parallel, and a series circuit of the normally closed timer second contact 18b and the second relay excitation coil 22. are connected in parallel, and the electric heater 3 is connected in series with the contact 22a of the second relay which is normally closed to the power source AC, and the heater 3 is connected in parallel with a pilot lamp 23 for the heater. In the figure, SW indicates the main switch of the AC power supply.

Therefore, in order to use the sauna apparatus ₁ described above, when power AC is applied by turning on the main switch SW, the power pilot lamp 17
lights up, the electric heater 3 is energized, and the heater pilot lamp 23 is also lit, and the interior light 4 - the dimmer circuit section 21 - the second contact 19b of the first relay is energized, thereby turning on the dimmer circuit section. 21
In the dark state according to the adjustment, the indoor light 4 is also turned on.

Then, the bather opens the opening/closing door 5 and opens the opening 14.
Enter the room from the door and use the door lock member 6 as an internal key.
When this is engaged with the locked member 7, the door lock switch 8 is closed as described above, and the timer 18 is activated for a preset period _T2 , for example, 30 minutes, as shown in FIG. At the same time as counting starts, the first relay excitation coil 19 is excited, so the first and second contacts 19a and 19b of the first relay are interlocked to open the second contact 19b, and the first contact 19a is opened. Since it is closed, the interior light 4 becomes brighter because it is directly connected to the power supply AC through the first contact 19a.

Next, when the predetermined time T ₂ preset in the timer 18 has elapsed, the second contact 18b of the timer opens and the current is not energized until then, as shown by the time band T ₃ after the end of the timer in FIG. Since the excitation of the second relay excitation coil 22, which had been in operation, is released, its contact 22a opens and the power supply to the electric heater 3 is stopped.At the same time, not only the heater pilot lamp 23 also goes out, but also the timer first contact 18a. When closed, the alarm 20 sounds.

Therefore, in order for the bather to open the opening/closing door 5 and go outside from this state, when the door lock member 6 is removed from the locked member 7, the door lock switch 26 is opened/closed and the alarm 20 stops sounding, as shown in FIG. state.

The present invention, as embodied by the above embodiments,
By releasably locking the door lock member 6 provided on the indoor side of the opening/closing door 5 of the sauna box 2 and the locked member 7 attached to the box 2, electrical continuity between both members 6 and 7 can be achieved. The power supply AC includes a timer 18 that starts counting the set time when the door lock switch 8 is closed, and a timer 18 that starts counting the set time when the door lock switch 8 is closed. The interior light 4 that can be switched to the lighting state and the tamer 1
An electric heater that is disconnected from the power supply after the set time in item 8 has passed, and an alarm 19 that is activated when electricity is applied.
If you set the timer for a certain period of time, just by entering the room and locking the door, the electric heater 3 will be activated for a certain period of time, for example.
After 30 minutes, the electricity is automatically turned off, so even if the bather stays in the sauna for a long time, they will not become dehydrated.At the same time, a buzzer etc. will be activated to protect the bather and third parties. In addition, when entering and exiting the room, the room is dimly lit by the indoor light 4, so it is easy to enter, and while bathing, the indoor light 4 becomes bright, so you can see the inside from the outside through the glass window 15. Not only can you judge the state of the light, but it also prevents you from leaving it in a bright state all the time. In particular, in the case of the sauna device of the present invention, the interior light that can be switched between bright and dark functions both for its original purpose and as a safety measure (indicating that someone has entered the room), so there is no need to provide a separate indicator lamp, and the door lock switch is Since it doubles as a lock and a switch, once the door is locked and the switch is turned on at the same time, the door will not be opened involuntarily by another person.Since it has two such dual-purpose structures, the sauna equipment can be made economically. It can be configured as follows.
