Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a sauna bath using far infrared rays, and more specifically, the invention relates to a sauna bath that uses far infrared rays. This invention relates to a sauna bath using far infrared rays that can promote comfortable sweating at low temperatures.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, various health devices that utilize the thermal effect of far infrared rays have been developed, and sauna baths that use far infrared rays are also used for commercial saunas and home use, as the gentle and gentle sweating that occurs has a good effect on the human body. It is gradually becoming popular as a sauna.

By the way, as is well known, in the infrared wavelength region, the long wavelength part (wavelength band of 4 to 400 microns) is called far infrared rays; Unlike infrared rays and mid-infrared rays, there is no burning sensation and a mild and mellow sensation of heat can be obtained. This is due to the deep penetrating power of far infrared rays due to its nature as light, and the far infrared rays as electromagnetic waves are resonated and absorbed by the vibrations of atoms and molecules in the human body, producing frictional heat, activating cells in the body and promoting metabolism. It is thought that it warms the human body from the inside and promotes sweating.

The sauna bath using far infrared rays that is being proposed today has a structure in which far infrared heaters with a flat surface are placed inside the bath at appropriate locations, and far infrared ray emitters are placed on the inner wall of the bath. It has a configuration formed by. These sauna baths have the advantage of effectively utilizing the effect of far infrared rays, eliminating the heat and discomfort peculiar to saunas, and providing sauna baths that are easy to use.

[Problem that the invention attempts to solve]

However, conventional sauna baths that use far infrared rays emit far infrared rays throughout the surrounding area, so it is necessary to use a reflector to direct the rays toward the human body, which is inefficient and does not allow far infrared rays to fully reach the human body. There was a problem that the debris was not absorbed.

Another problem is that when the user first takes a sauna bath, the temperature inside the bath is generally low, so that the user does not feel as if he or she has actually taken a bath.

The present invention was devised in response to the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to efficiently and thoroughly inject far-infrared rays into the body of a bathing person, without feeling any moisture. The purpose is to provide a sauna bath using far infrared rays that is refreshing and causes sweating from the core of the body.

[Means for solving problems]

As a means to achieve the above object, the sauna bath using far infrared rays of the present invention has a concave curved far infrared radiator arranged at a desired location on the inner wall of the sauna bath, and the outer wall is made of ceramic material. It consists of a configuration formed by.

Here, in the above configuration, the concave curved far infrared radiator is usually a parabolic curved surface, and if necessary, a heater or the like is installed outside the concave curved far infrared radiator. A heating element is provided, a space is formed between the inner wall and the outer wall, and hot air is circulated through the space.

[Effect]

In the far-infrared sauna bath of the present invention based on the above configuration, the far-infrared rays are concentrated at a predetermined location inside the bath by the concave curved far-infrared radiator, and the user takes a bath at that location. As a result, it is poured evenly around the human body, absorbed by the human body, resonates with the vibrations of the human body's atoms and molecules, amplifies and activates the vibrations, and warms the human body from the inside at a low temperature of 50 degrees Celsius. It acts to promote large amounts of sweating in the area.

Further, the ceramic member forming the outer wall absorbs moisture when the humidity is high, and releases moisture when the humidity is dry, thereby automatically adjusting humidity changes.

As described above, the sauna bath using far infrared rays of the present invention is characterized by disposing a far infrared ray emitter in the shape of a concave curve, such as a parabolic shape, in the bath, and with this configuration, a more refreshing temperature can be achieved. It has the ability to receive far infrared rays.

〔Example〕

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

Here, Figs. 1 and 2 show an embodiment of the present invention, Fig. 1 is a front view partially showing the inside of the sauna bath, and Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line A-A in Fig. 1. .

The sauna bath using far infrared rays of this embodiment is a sauna bath installed at home, and is shaped like a rectangular box with an outer wall 1, an inner wall 2, a floor 3, and a ceiling 4, and the bather sits in the center. Now you can take a bath.

The outer wall portion 1 and the inner wall portion 2 are made of a wood-based porous ceramic material with heat insulating properties. and,
The ceramic material eliminates the drawbacks of natural wood such as combustibility, elasticity, and rottenness, and is lightweight, strong, and
It is preferable to use a material that has the properties of natural wood, such as workability, adhesiveness, moisture absorption, moisture release, and warmth. There is. However, other materials may also be used. Further, a decorative board or the like may be provided on the surface as necessary.

The floor 3 uses a perforated ventilation plate made of aluminum foam, and the ceiling 4 uses a synthetic resin face plate.
An acrylic plate door 5 is provided at the front entrance.

In the space 6 of the outer wall 1 and the inner wall 2, a parabolic curved far-infrared radiator 7 is provided on both sides of the wall except for the front door 5 and on the back wall. A lattice-like radiation louver 8 is provided at the radial louver 8.

In the embodiment, the parabolic-shaped curved far-infrared radiator 7 is made by washing an aluminum metal base material with an organic solvent and then thermally spraying it with a far-infrared radiating material.The coating method includes spraying,
It can be suitably applied by dipping, brushing or roller coating. Appropriate coating thickness is 50 microns or less. After drying to the touch at room temperature, it is heated to 250° C. at a rate of 5 to 10 minutes to harden by baking.
In this example, Tyrannocoat (trademark) manufactured by Ube Industries, Ltd. was used as the thermal spray coating agent.
is used. When this is baked and hardened at the above temperature, it becomes a ceramic and becomes a far-infrared radiator that exhibits high radiation power at low temperatures. However, far-infrared radiators use stainless steel, steel, nickel, copper, or their alloys as a metal base material in addition to aluminum, or non-metallic materials such as ceramics are used as a base material, and the surface of the far-infrared radiator is covered with a material that emits far-infrared rays. It is also possible to use a material (heat-resistant paint) coated and cured by baking, or a board-like structure in which a far-infrared ray emitting material is mixed and kneaded with a binder. Furthermore, it is clear that other types of far-infrared emitting materials may be used. Here, the parabolic type was used as the curved far-infrared radiator because it can bring the focus to the inside of the bath or a nearby position, and as clarified by the Stephan-Boltzmann law,
This is due to the fact that the amount of radiation emitted by a radiator per unit time is proportional to the square of the distance.
Therefore, by arranging a plurality of radiators at appropriate locations, making their focal points coincident with each other or close to each other, and installing a chair, etc. at the location, the human body can be irradiated with far-infrared rays in a favorable manner. It has the advantage of being

The lattice-shaped radial louver 8 is made of a wooden crosspiece coated with the above-mentioned Tyrancoat (trademark).

A heating heater (silicon heater) 9 is installed in the floor 3 to raise the indoor temperature to about 50°C, and warm air is circulated in the space 6 of the outer wall 1 and inner wall 2 by a circulation fan. , is supplied into the sauna bath room through the ventilation hole 10. Furthermore, an ozone generator is installed to add functions such as deodorization, sterilization, and negative ions. Additionally, control devices such as a thermometer, hygrometer, and temperature sensor are installed inside the room.

Next, the operation of the sauna bath utilizing far infrared rays of this embodiment based on the above configuration will be explained. Since the far-infrared radiator in this embodiment does not have a heat source, a heating heater (silicon heater) 9 is provided. The infrared radiator 7 now exhibits high radiation power.

Since the far-infrared radiator 7 is formed as a curved far-infrared ray radiator with a parabolic curved surface, the electromagnetic waves are emitted from the paraboloid into the sauna bath room at a limited angle, which is wasteful. It works to efficiently irradiate the human body with no scattering. Therefore, the effective far infrared rays that are highly absorbable to the human body are absorbed from the curved far infrared radiator 7 so as to surround the human body, and resonate with the vibrations of the cells and molecules of the human body.
By amplifying and activating these vibrations, the human body is warmed from within, causing copious sweating at temperatures as low as 50 degrees Celsius, and is effective for health, beauty, and weight loss.

In addition, since the outer wall 1 and inner wall 2 are made of porous ceramic wall surfaces, they absorb moisture when the humidity is high and release moisture when it is dry, automatically adjusting for changes in humidity. It acts to regulate. In particular, the inner wall 2 forming the space 6
The outer surface side of the outer wall portion 1 and the inner surface side of the outer wall portion 1 act so that the above adjustment can be performed.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and includes modifications that can be made without changing the gist of the present invention. For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the curved far-infrared radiator is of a parabolic type (paraboloid type), but the curved surface is arranged in a continuous wave shape inside the sauna bath (in other words, , a configuration in which semi-circular groove columnar curved bodies are successively arranged on the left and right sides). In addition, a heater is installed on the back of the curved far-infrared radiator,
A configuration may be adopted in which the curved far-infrared ray radiator is heated to a high temperature by the heater, thereby emitting a large amount of far-infrared rays. In other words, it is taken into consideration that the amount of radiation per unit time from the radiator is proportional to the fourth power of temperature. In addition, a far-infrared emitting material such as Tyrancoat is applied and baked on the surface of the wall material (porous ceramic material is used in the example) that forms the inner wall (including walls, ceilings, floors, doors, etc.). It is also possible to have a configuration arranged by, etc. Furthermore, the inner wall portion and the outer wall portion may have an integral structure. In other words, it may be configured as a single wall without a space. In addition, as a ceramic member, if it can exhibit an effect similar to or similar to the above-mentioned effect,
It may be plywood, recycled board, resin board, etc., and the ceramic member referred to in the present invention includes these plywood,
This concept also includes members (plates) such as recycled boards and resin boards.

Further, the shape of the sauna bath may be of any configuration, and it is not limited to home use, but may be of commercial use.
