Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a dew formation at a declothing room (a toilet) and to provide always a dried and comfortable spacing by a method wherein a ventilation fan communicating with the declothing room is cooperated with a driving operation of a vapor generating device and then vapor leaked out to the declothing room is rapidly removed. CONSTITUTION:When a vapor generating device 4 is operated and vapor is supplied to a bath room 1 under an operation of a vapor supplying device 3 so as to perform a steam bath operation, a ventilation fan 10 for the declothing room is directly or correspondingly driven in response to an operation of the vapor supplying device 3. That is, when the vapor supplying device 3 is used, the ventilation fan 10 for the declothing room is always operated. Due to this fact, vapor leaked to the declothing room 7 is always discharged and even if a door 8 is released to open and the vapor is leaked out to the declothing room 7, the vapor is rapidly discharged and no influence of vapor at the declothing room 7 is found. When the use of the vapor supplying device 3 is stopped, the ventilation fan 10 for the declothing room is delayed only for a set time and then stopped.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ventilation system for a dressing room (including a washroom) adjacent to a bathroom.

Conventional technology Although ventilation fans are now commonly installed in bathrooms in modern homes, they are rarely installed in changing rooms or washrooms. This is because there is generally little need for ventilation in the dressing room, and there is no technical problem in providing a ventilation fan.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Recently, however, devices have been put into practical use that use the bathroom itself as a steam sauna, and the door between the bathroom and the dressing room may be opened while the bathroom is filled with steam. In this case, a large amount of steam leaks into the changing room, causing dew condensation on the walls and damp clothes, and mold and mildew in the changing room.

As described above, the present invention prevents condensation in the changing room (washroom) by quickly removing the steam that leaks into the changing room when steam is used in the bathroom, thereby creating a always dry and refreshing space. It is provided as follows.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention consists of a bathroom connected to a steam generator and a dressing room connected to the bathroom by a door, and a ventilation fan communicating with the dressing room is connected to the steam generator. It is operated in conjunction with the drive of the device.

Effect of the present invention With the above-described configuration, when using steam in the bathroom, the ventilation fan is constantly driven to ensure that leaked steam is removed by opening and closing the door.
By removing condensation quickly, you can minimize condensation in the changing room.
This solves the above problem.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the figure, 1 is a bathroom equipped with a bathtub 2 and a steam supply bag W.
It is connected to 3. In this example, the steam supply device 3 includes a steam supply device 4 placed outdoors, a steam jetting section 5 that jets steam into the bathroom, and a steam supply pipe 6 that connects the two.
It is used during steam baths. 7 is this bathroom 1
This is a changing room adjacent to the bathroom door 8 that communicates with the bathroom 1 and has functions for undressing and washing. The bathroom 1 and the changing room 7 are each connected to or installed with a ventilation device such as a ventilation fan, and have a bathroom ventilation fan 9 and a dressing room ventilation fan 10, respectively, so that the air can be exhausted outdoors. Here, two ventilation fans9.
As in the past, the ventilation fans 10 are independently turned on and off as desired by switches, and the ventilation fan 10 for the changing room is electrically connected so as to be automatically driven as the steam supply device is driven.

Additionally, this example incorporates an electrical delay circuit to continue driving the ventilation fan for a certain period of time even after the steam generator is turned off.

Note that the changing room 7 may be configured as a washroom by installing a washstand and a washing machine.

In the steam configuration, when the steam generator 4 is operated for a steam bath and steam is supplied to the bathroom 1 as the steam supply device 3, the ventilation EilO for the dressing room is also connected directly or in correspondence to the operation of the steam supply device 3. Driven. That is, when the steam supply device 3 is in use, the dressing room ventilation fan 10 is always operated. For this reason, steam leaking into the changing room 7 is constantly exhausted.
Further, even if the door 8 is opened and steam leaks into the changing room 7, it is quickly exhausted and the influence of the steam in the changing room 7 is small.

When the operation of stopping the use of the steam supply device 3 is performed, the changing room ventilation fan 10 is delayed and stopped by a set time.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above embodiments, according to the ventilation system of the present invention, when the steam supply device is operated for a steam bath, the dressing room ventilation fan is always operated to prevent moisture from leaking into the dressing room. Empty immediately.

Therefore, the influence of steam on the changing room can be suppressed, and a clean changing area (or washroom space) without worrying about mold and mildew can be quickly removed.
