Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress generation of a large quantity of steam in a bathroom and to allow comfortable bathing by atomizing warm water mist in the bathroom to heat the bathroom. CONSTITUTION:When a switch of a mist remote controller 14 in a bathroom 10 is closed, a mist sauna function of a bath hot water supplying unit 13 is driven, and a controller 17 simultaneously detects a temperature in the bathroom 10 by a temperature sensor 15 in the controller 14, and first so controls an output hot water temperature control function of the unit 13 side as to atomize mist of a low temperature with small steam generation amount. As the temperature in the bathroom 10 rises, an output hot water supplying temperature is raised. When the temperature in the bathroom 10 becomes a set temperature, the temperature in the bathroom 10 is maintained while turning ON and OFF the operation. Thus, generation of large quantity of steam in the bathroom 10 can be suppressed, and comfortable bathing can be executed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a mist type bathroom heating device for heating a bathroom by spraying hot water mist into the bathroom.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A system is known in which hot water mist is jetted into a bathroom for heating. This known example is as shown in FIG.
The hot water generated in the bath water heater 2 with a mist sauna function is guided into the bathroom 1 via the mist hot water supply pipe 3, and the mist shower is jetted into the bathroom 1 from the mist nozzle 5 of the mist unit 4 attached here. Therefore, a mist remote controller 6 is installed in the bathroom 1, and a high temperature mist is jetted at the time of rising, and a temperature sensor 7 in the mist remote controller 6 detects the temperature in the bathroom 3, and when this reaches a set temperature, an intermediate temperature mist is generated. The hot water supply device 2 is stopped via the signal line 8 at the jetting and the set time.

[0003]

As described above, in the conventional mist type bathroom heating device, since the high temperature mist shower is jetted at the time of rising, the high temperature mist is generated while the temperature in the bathroom is low. When it gushes out, a large amount of steam is generated in the bathroom, and a large amount of condensed water is attached to the ceiling and walls of the bathroom, which causes mold formation. In addition, many people find it uncomfortable to take a bath when a large amount of steam is generated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to propose a mist type bathroom heating device which is proposed in view of the above points and which can effectively perform heating while suppressing generation of steam as much as possible.

[0005]

The structure of the mist type bathroom heating apparatus according to the present invention is as follows.

When the bath water heater is provided with a function for controlling the temperature of discharged hot water for mist hot water and the mist heating switch is turned on, the temperature inside the bathroom is detected by the temperature sensor of the mist remote controller installed in the bathroom, and the temperature inside the bathroom is detected. On the other hand, a mist-type bathroom heating device which is provided with a control circuit for calculating a mist hot water temperature that suppresses the amount of steam generated by calculation and controlling the hot water temperature control function based on this value.

[0007]

[Function] When the mist remote control switch in the bathroom is turned on, the mist sauna function of the bath water heater is activated, and at the same time, the controller detects the temperature in the bathroom by the temperature sensor in the mist remote control. The hot water temperature control function on the water heater side is controlled so that a small amount of low temperature mist is ejected. Then, as the temperature in the bathroom rises, the hot water outlet temperature is raised, and when the temperature in the bathroom reaches the set temperature, the temperature in the bathroom is maintained while turning the operation ON-OFF.

[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
In FIG. 1, 10 is a bathroom, 11 is a mist ejector with a mist nozzle 11 ′ mounted in the bathroom 10, 12 is a hot water supply pipe leading to the mist ejector 11, and this hot water supply pipe 12
Is connected to the bath water heater 13 with a mist temperature control function. 14 is a mist remote controller with a temperature sensor 15, 16
Is the remote control line, and this remote control line 16 is the water heater 13.
Is tied to the controller 17 inside. The controller 17 performs the following control.

When the operation switch of the mist remote controller 14 in the bathroom 10 is turned on, the water heater 13 is driven and at the same time,
Bathroom 10 with mist remote controller 14 temperature sensor 15
The temperature inside is detected and relative humidity is 100% with respect to this temperature.
Determine the absolute humidity at the mist nozzle 1
The relative humidity of the air mixed with mist ejected from 1'is 100
%, The hot water temperature control function in the water heater 13 is controlled by obtaining the mist hot water temperature so that a certain amount of absolute humidity is added. Temperature sensor 15 in the bathroom 10
The controller 17 performs the above calculation based on this temperature to control the tapping temperature. However, this control may be performed continuously, or may be performed in three stages. For example, if the mist temperature (outlet temperature) is set to low / medium / high, low temperature mist of about 35 ° C is jetted when the room temperature is as low as 5 ° C at the time of rising, and 45 ° C if it rises to around 15 ° C. When the mist before and after is jetted out and rises to around 25 ° C., a high temperature mist around 55 ° C. is jetted out and the temperature inside the bathroom is raised to around the set room temperature, for example around 27 ° C. Bathroom 1
The temperature within 0 is maintained by ON-OFF control, for example.

[0010]

As described above, according to the present invention, by automatically controlling the temperature of the mist ejected according to the temperature in the bathroom,
It is possible to suppress the generation of a large amount of steam in the bathroom. As a result, by reducing the adhesion of dew condensation to the ceiling and walls of the bathroom, mildew can be prevented and uncomfortable steam can be reduced, so that a comfortable bath can be performed.
