Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable heating of a human body without giving uncomfortableness by providing a steam generation nozzle at the tip of a hot water supply pipe and a gas-liquid separation means in front of the steam generation nozzle. SOLUTION: A steam generation nozzle 1 is provided at the tip of a hot water supply pipe 5 and a louver 3 having a plurality of blade plates 2 as gas-liquid separation means in front of the steam generation nozzle 1. In this steam sauna, hot water of the hot water supply pipe 5 is jetted out as steam through the steam generation nozzle 1 to hit the blade plates 2 of the louver 3 continuously so that steam of a fixed particle size or larger is separated from the steam of the fixed particle size or smaller and the steam of the fixed particle size or larger is made to drop before the louver 3 while the steam of the fixed particle size or smaller is scattered into a sauna room. Thus, the particle size of the steam 4 to be scattered into the sauna room can be controlled by changing the angle of the blade plates 2 of the louver 3.

A steam sauna according to claim 1 of the present invention is characterized in that a steam generating nozzle is provided at a tip of a hot water supply pipe, and a gas-liquid separating means is provided in front of the steam generating nozzle. It is what

Here, the gas-liquid separating means is a means for separating, from the steam ejected from the steam generating nozzle, steam having a particle size of a certain size or less and steam having a particle size of a certain size or more. .

A steam sauna according to a second aspect of the present invention is the steam sauna according to the first aspect, characterized in that the gas-liquid separating means is constituted by a louver having a plurality of blades.

The steam sauna according to claim 3 of the present invention is characterized in that, in the steam sauna according to claim 1, the gas-liquid separating means is constituted by a net.

Here, the net means a net made of a wire material such as metal or plastic like a wire net.

A steam sauna according to a fourth aspect of the present invention is characterized in that, in the steam sauna according to the first aspect, the gas-liquid separating means is composed of a non-woven fabric.

The non-woven fabric here means a fabric in which various fibers are bonded by an adhesive or the like, and its material includes plastic and the like.

1 is a plan view of a steam sauna according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a side view of the steam sauna according to the same embodiment. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts of the steam sauna according to the same embodiment. . FIG.
FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of a main part of the steam sauna according to the same embodiment.

Although this steam sauna is used in a sauna room, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a steam generating nozzle 1 is provided at the tip of a hot water supply pipe 5, and a gas liquid is provided in front of the steam generating nozzle 1. A plurality of blades 2 as separating means
The louver 3 is provided.

In this steam sauna, the hot water of the hot water supply pipe 5 is jetted as the steam 4 through the steam generating nozzle 1 and continuously impinges on the blades 2 of the louver 3 to obtain a particle size of a certain size or more. The steam 4 and the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or less are separated, and the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or more is dropped to the front side of the louver 3, and the particle size of the certain size or less Disperse steam 4 of the above into the sauna room.

The vane plate 2 of the louver 3 can be made of metal, plastic, wood material or the like. In this case, by changing the angle of the blades 2 of the louver 3, it is possible to control the size of the particles to be separated by the blades 2 of the louver 3, that is, the particle size of the steam 4 to be diffused in the sauna room. .

The steam 4 emitted in the sauna room may directly hit the user's body, but in this case as well, the particle size of the steam 4 passing through the blades 2 of the louver 3 is less than a certain size. Yes, because it is small, you can warm your body without feeling hot and uncomfortable.

FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts of a steam sauna according to another embodiment of the present invention. This case is similar to the case of FIG. 1, but differs in that a net 6 is provided as gas-liquid separating means. Other configurations are similar to those in the case of FIG. 1 and have the same effects as those in the case of FIG.

The net 6 can be made of metal, plastic or the like. In this steam sauna, the hot water of the hot water supply pipe 5 is ejected as the steam 4 through the steam generating nozzle 1 and continuously collides with the net 6, so that the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or more and a certain size are obtained. The steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or less is separated, and the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or more is dropped to the front side of the net 6, and the steam 4 having a particle size of the certain size or less is placed in the sauna room. Diverge into.

In this case, by selecting the size of the net 6, it is possible to control the size of the particles to be separated by the net 6, that is, the particle size of the steam 4 dispersed in the sauna room.

FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of essential parts of a steam sauna which is another embodiment of the present invention. This case is similar to the case of FIG. 1, except that the nonwoven fabric 7 is provided as the gas-liquid separating means. Other configurations are similar to those in the case of FIG. 1 and have the same effects as those in the case of FIG.

In this steam sauna, the hot water of the hot water supply pipe 5 is jetted as the steam 4 through the steam generating nozzle 1 and continuously collides with the non-woven fabric 7, whereby the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or more is obtained. The steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or less is separated, and the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or more is dropped on the front side of the non-woven fabric 7 to remove the steam 4 having a particle size of the certain size or less. Disperse into the sauna room.

In this case, by selecting the type of the non-woven fabric 7, it is possible to control the size of the grain size to be separated by the non-woven fabric 7, that is, the grain size of the steam 4 diffused in the sauna room.

As described above, since only the steam 4 having a particle size of a certain size or less ejected from the steam generating nozzle 1 is diffused into the sauna room, since the particle size of the steam 4 is small, it is hot and uncomfortable. It is possible to provide a steam sauna that can warm the body without feeling.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION In the steam sauna according to the first aspect of the present invention, steam having a particle size of a certain size or less is diffused in the sauna room, and the steam particle size is so small that the user feels uncomfortable. It is possible to provide a steam sauna that can warm the body without.

In addition to the effects of the steam sauna according to claim 1, the steam sauna according to claim 2 of the present invention changes the angle of the blades of the louver to cause the particle size of steam to be diffused into the sauna room. Can be controlled.

In addition to the effect of the steam sauna according to claim 1, the steam sauna according to claim 3 of the present invention controls the particle size of steam to be diffused in the sauna room by selecting the size of the net. be able to.

In addition to the effect of the steam sauna according to claim 1, the steam sauna according to claim 4 of the present invention is capable of controlling the particle size of steam to be diffused in the sauna room by selecting the kind of nonwoven fabric. You can
