Description

[Detailed explanation of the idea] 〔Technical field〕 This invention relates to saunas.

[Background technology]

Recently, home saunas that can be installed in ordinary homes have been developed. Home saunas usually have a heating stove installed in the bathroom.

This heating stove in the sauna bathroom is equipped with a surface grid (stone stand) on the upper side, and a sauna stone is installed on top of this surface grid, so that the hot air emitted from the heat source of the stove body enters the room through the sauna stone. By allowing the heat to be emitted, the heat can be made mild (the appropriate level of heat) and anions can be generated.

However, if you place a sauna stone on top of the grill, the hot air from the stove will not come out into the sauna room, and the time it takes to heat up the bathroom will be longer, and it will take longer to heat up the bathroom after you turn on the switch and before you can take a bath. The problem was that I had to wait for a very long time.

[Purpose of invention]

In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the purpose of this invention is to provide a sauna that can quickly supply appropriate hot air into the bathroom and allow one to enjoy a sauna bath at an appropriate temperature in a short preparation time.

[Disclosure of invention]

In order to achieve the above object, this invention provides a heating stove installed in a bathroom, in which a stone stand is attached to the upper side of the stove body through bendable legs made of a shape memory alloy material, and The sauna is characterized in that the bending and extending legs have a shape memorized so that the stove stand and the stove body are separated from each other when the temperature is low, and the shape changes to bring the stove stand close to the stove body when the temperature rises to a predetermined temperature. The gist is:

This idea will be explained in detail below.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the sauna according to this invention. This embodiment represents a home sauna, and as shown in FIG. 2, the interior of the room 1 is equipped with a bathroom 2 having heating means for heating the room. This bathroom 2 is provided with an entrance/exit 3, and an entrance/exit door 4 is attached to this entrance/exit 3. The entrance/exit door 4 has an upper hinge 5 and a lower hinge 6.
It is supported so that it can be opened and closed outward. The upper hinge 5 includes a hinge body made of a metal material and a closing spring that acts in the closing direction. A material whose properties are not affected is used. The lower hinge 6 is disposed on the lower side where the high temperature atmosphere of the upper layer does not act, and is designed so that it is only in contact with the low temperature atmosphere of 50° C. which is the lower layer atmosphere. The lower hinge 6 is provided with an oil damper that is not affected by the atmosphere at about 50°C.

In this sauna, since the upper hinge 5 is provided with the spring and the lower hinge 6 is provided with the damper, there is no fear that the high temperature atmosphere will act on the damper. As a result, even if the opening/closing speed is set at low temperatures, the oil in the damper is less susceptible to thermal effects, so even if the sauna room gets hot, the damper will operate at the same opening/closing speed as at low temperatures. As a result, it is possible to provide an entrance/exit door that is easy to use even at high temperatures.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, flexible legs 8 made of a shape memory alloy material are attached to the four upper corners of the stove body 7 constituting the heating means.
A stone stand 10 having a surface lattice body 9 is attached to the stove body 7 via the upper ends of the bending legs 8 . A sauna stone is placed on the stone stand 10.

The bending/extending legs 8 made of a shape memory alloy material change their shape depending on the temperature. In this embodiment, the shape memory temperature of the bending/extending legs 8 is set to 350°C. FIG. 3 shows the state at low temperature, and FIG. 4 shows the state at high temperature.

When the stove body 7 is turned on and hot air begins to come out, that is, when the bending legs 8 are at a low temperature below the shape memory temperature, the bending legs 8 are in an extended state as shown in FIG. Hot air comes out from the wide gap between the main body 7 and the stone stand 10, rapidly warming the room. In other words, if hot air is released into the room only through the gaps between the sauna stones, the flow resistance of the hot air will be large, and the heat will be taken away by the sauna stones, so it will take a very long time to raise the temperature in the room. By supplying hot air directly into the room from between the stone stands 10, the temperature in the room can be rapidly raised.

When the hot air from the stove body 7 raises the temperature of the bending/extending legs 8 and the bending/extending legs 8 exceeds the shape memory temperature of 350°C, the bending/extending legs 8 bend outward in half as shown in Fig. 4. , the height of the bending/extending legs 8 is reduced, and the gap between the stove body 7 and the stone stand 10 is narrowed. Then, rather than passing through the gap between the stove body 7 and the stone stand 10, the hot air
The sauna stones are supplied into the room through gaps between the sauna stones on the stone stand 10. If most of the hot air passes through the gaps between the sauna stones, the functions of the sauna stones as described above, such as the effects of making the hot air milder and generating anions, will be effectively exerted.

The sauna of this invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

[Effect of idea]

The sauna of this invention has the configuration as described above, and can quickly supply appropriate hot air into the bathroom, allowing the user to enjoy a sauna bath at an appropriate temperature in a short preparation period.

The ability to quickly supply appropriate hot air into the bathroom is due to the following action.

When the heating stove is turned on and hot air starts to come out when the temperature is low, the stone stand and the stove body are separated, and the hot air flows directly into the bathroom from between the stone stand and the stove body. The temperature inside rises in a short time. That is, it becomes possible to start sauna bathing in a short preparation period.

When the temperature in the room rises to a certain level, the bending and extending legs change to the pre-memorized shape, the stone stand approaches the stove body, the gap narrows, and the hot air is transferred to the stone stand. It passes through sauna stones and is supplied into the room in a softened state. In other words, the hot air from the stove body does not directly hit the bather and cause them to feel hot, and the unique effects of the sauna stone can be effectively exerted.

Therefore, according to this invention, when using a sauna, the temperature in the bathroom rises in a short time, making it possible to quickly take a sauna bath, and after that, the effect of the sauna stone can be fully utilized. Let me demonstrate,
You can enjoy a comfortable sauna bath.

Claims (1)

[Scope of utility model registration request] A heating stove installed in a bathroom has a stone stand attached to the upper side of the stove body via a bending leg made of a shape memory alloy material, and the bending leg is able to connect the stove stand and the stove body at low temperatures. A sauna characterized by having a shape memorized so that when the stove stand is placed in a separated state and the temperature rises to a predetermined temperature, the shape changes to bring the stove stand closer to the stove body.
