[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to an equipment unit such as a bathroom unit or a sanitary unit in which a drying / heating machine for drying clothes and heating in cold weather is incorporated in a specific portion.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 It has been conventionally known that a dryer / heater is installed in a bathroom and is used for heating when bathing and for drying clothes when not bathing. Such a drying / heating machine used for drying / heating generally has a ceiling-mounted specification, and the convenience of heating in a washroom and a dressing room adjacent to the bathroom is usually not particularly considered.

Therefore, conventionally, when it is necessary to heat the bathroom changing room, a heater is separately installed.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 As mentioned above, when installing a dryer / heater in a bathroom, ceiling specifications are common, but in the case of a relatively small and narrow equipment unit such as a compactly combined bathroom unit or sanitary unit, it is usually Since there is an inspection port and lighting equipment on the ceiling, there is usually no space to install a dryer / heater. Moreover, installing a dryer / heater on the side wall etc. is troublesome such as drilling. Post-processing is required and the construction cost becomes high.

Further, in the past, when heating the equipment unit side and the adjacent room side respectively, it was necessary to install heating appliances on both sides, so it cannot be said that effective use of the heating appliances cannot be achieved and it is uneconomical. In particular, heating appliances for washrooms often have wall-mounted specifications, and the grill part that heats up may come into direct contact with the human body when undressing, etc., and improvement from the viewpoint of safety is also required. ing.

Further, when the dryer is installed on the ceiling of the bathroom, dew condensation water may drop from the grill when not in use, which may be uncomfortable.

In view of such a point, the present invention makes it possible to commonly use the dryer / heater between the equipment unit side and the adjacent room side, and moreover, the dryer / heater can be easily installed without requiring a troublesome work such as post-processing. The purpose is to provide an equipment unit such as a bathroom that can be incorporated and provides a comfortable environment.

[0008]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, an equipment unit such as a bathroom according to the present invention is provided with a sash frame such as a door frame at an entrance to and exit from an adjacent room, and the sash frame has a warm air blowing direction to the equipment unit side. It is configured by incorporating a dryer / heater that can be selectively switched to the adjacent room side.

[0009]

[Work]

 In the equipment unit such as a bathroom according to the present invention configured as described above, since the drying heater is incorporated in the sash frame for the entrance and exit, it can be used in a relatively small equipment unit with no installation space on the ceiling. It is possible to install a dryer / heater, and since it is built into the sash frame, it is possible to perform the work easily and at low cost without the need for troublesome work such as retrofitting. By installing the heater on the upper part of the sash frame, it will not be an obstacle even in a small washroom, and you will not feel uncomfortable with dew condensation water.

Further, since the hot air blowing direction of the dryer is selectively switched between the equipment unit side and the adjacent room side, the dryer air heater is shared by the equipment unit side and the adjacent room side. Therefore, it is economical as compared with the case where both are installed, and the space occupied by the dryer is small.

[0011]

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Before that, in order to further clarify the characteristic portion of the equipment unit according to the present invention, a conventional equipment unit will be described. The corresponding parts will be described. FIG. 3 shows the vicinity of the entrance / exit of a conventional bathroom unit which is common to the equipment unit according to the present invention except for the characteristic parts, and this conventional bathroom unit is provided at the peripheral portion of the washing pan waterproof pan 12 forming the bathroom 11. An inner wall 14 having an opening for a doorway is erected on the raised portion 12a, and a wash-dress is undressed on the floor member 22 via a partition wall 24 on the back side (the other side) of the inner wall 14. A chamber 21 is provided.

The partition wall 24 is also provided with openings corresponding to the openings formed in the inner wall 14, and the frame-shaped door frame 10 is fitted into them. A door 15 provided with a handle 16 on the bathroom 11 side and a wash room 21 side is attached to the door frame 10 by a hinge member 17 so as to be opened and closed. On the other hand, in the bathroom unit according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, the partition wall 24 and the inner wall 14 are formed with a larger (higher) opening than the above-mentioned conventional one, and the drying heater 30 is provided therein. The door frame 15 in which is embedded is fitted.

The dryer / heater 30 is fixed to the uppermost portion of the door frame 15, and is provided with two outlets 31 and 32 for blowing warm air to the bathroom 11 side and the washroom / dressing room 21 side, respectively. By operating a changeover switch (not shown), the hot air blowing direction can be selectively changed. In the bathroom unit according to the present invention having such a configuration, since the dryer / heater 30 is incorporated in the door frame 10 for the entrance / exit, the dryer / heater can be installed in a comparatively small facility unit having no installation space on the ceiling. Since it can be installed, and since it is incorporated into the door frame 15, complicated work such as retrofitting is not required, the construction can be performed easily and at low cost. Since it is installed on the upper part of 15, it does not get in the way even in a small washroom, so that you do not feel uncomfortable with condensed water.

Further, since the drying air heater 30 is configured such that the hot air blowing direction can be selectively switched between the bathroom 11 side and the washroom undressing room 21 side, the drying air heater 30 can be switched between the bathroom unit side and the washroom side. Since it can be shared with the dressing room side, it is economical compared to the case where both are installed, and the space occupied by the dryer and heater is small. FIG. 2 shows an example in which a human sensor or a temperature sensor 40 is incorporated in the dryer / heater 30 of the bathroom unit. The dryer / heater 30 in this example detects a person by the sensor 40 and automatically detects the person. It is designed to change the blowing direction of warm air.

In the above example, the dryer is incorporated in the door frame of the entrance / exit of the bathroom unit. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the dryer / heater may be installed in another equipment unit, for example. By incorporating it into the sash frame for the entrance and exit of a sanitary unit, a toilet unit, a shower unit, a bathroom undressing unit, etc., a working effect similar to the above example can be obtained.

[0016]

[Effect of the device]

 As is clear from the above description, in the equipment unit such as the bathroom according to the present invention, the drying heater is incorporated in the door frame for the entrance and exit, so that even a relatively small equipment unit with no installation space on the ceiling can dry Since it is possible to install a heater, and since it is incorporated into the door frame, troublesome work such as retrofitting is unnecessary, construction can be performed easily and at low cost, and a narrow washroom It does not get in the way, and it does not make you feel uncomfortable with dew condensation, so that you can get a comfortable environment, and the drying and heating machine can selectively switch the hot air blowing direction. Therefore, the dryer / heater can be shared between the equipment unit side and the adjacent room side, which is economical compared to the case where both are installed, and the space occupied by the dryer / heater is small. Sumi, it is very convenient.
