The present invention relates to a half-body device, and more particularly, to a half-body bath device that can warm the lower body of the human body to balance the whole body to eliminate blood circulation disorders and cold.

In general, half-bath is a bath method that immerses the body under a high level of water in a little higher than body temperature to facilitate the circulation and metabolism of the whole body, and this half-bath is a normal circulation of blood that does not normally circulate in our body. It can be called a bath to cure all kinds of diseases by applying the principle to make it happen.

Normally, if you measure the body temperature of the body through a thermometer lower body than the upper body, in Oriental medicine, this condition is lower than the upper body than the upper body blood circulation caused by the cold circulation caused by various diseases are considered to be the cause. The half body bath that focuses on these causes is a health law that balances the whole body by warming the lower body with water to relieve blood circulation disorders and cold. There is a record that the Korean half body bath was used for oriental medicine in modern Korean medicine.

On the other hand, the half body bath is a warm water of 37-39 ℃ higher than the body temperature in the bathtub, and hot water is poured on the feet and the lower body to correct the temperature difference between the upper body and the lower body, and then enters the bathtub. Soak only under the chest. As you enter the water for about 10-20 minutes half bath in the water while the water cools, add a little hot water. At this time, it is important not to put your shoulders or arms in the water, and to increase the effect, add enough hot water to endure for 7-8 minutes and soak it.

Figure 4 is a side cross-sectional view for explaining the configuration of the steam half-bath apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The steam half body bath apparatus 100 of the present invention includes a half body bath 110, a chair 120, and a steam generating member 130.

First, the half body bathtub 110 is formed in a box shape having a bottom surface and side surfaces and an upper surface made by assembling the wood blocks 111. The door 112 is installed at one side of the half body tub 110 so that the user can enter and exit. The door 112 uses the same wood blocks used for the half body bathtub.

As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the half body bath 110 has an opening 113 at which the upper body of the user is positioned. This opening can be opened and closed by the foldable lid member 114. The half body bath 110 has a movable plate 114a that is slid to the cover member 114 to cover the opening 113 according to the user's body shape. The cover member 114 is provided with an operation panel 116 having a power supply, a temperature setting unit, a lamp, an instrument panel, and the like. Although not shown in the figure, the half body bath 110 may be installed with a wheel for movement to facilitate movement.

As shown in Figure 4, the half-bath tub 110 described above is because the wooden blocks are made of hollow wooden square blocks 111 of hollow form, not only excellent thermal insulation than other materials, but also long-term use Even if there is an advantage that does not occur distortion or burst due to thermal deformation. For example, when the half body bathtub is made of general flat wooden panels, the insulation may be inferior and deformation such as distortion due to thermal deformation may easily occur. In addition, when the half-bath is made of a stainless steel sheet or the like, since the stainless steel sheet is taken away from the internal temperature, heat insulation is not very weak and moisture and water droplets are formed on the inner wall, which is not preferable.

Half body bath 110 is installed on the floor footing 118 of the wooden material the user is placed on the foot. A first buffer space 119 is provided below the scaffold 118, and a plurality of injection holes 118a are formed at both sides of the first buffer space 119. The first buffer space 119 of the scaffold 118 is a space for temporarily staying before the steam provided from the steam generating member 130 is provided to the internal space (a). Since the steam provided by the steam generating member 130 has a very high temperature (generally 90 to 95 degrees), it is very likely to burn the user when directly injected into the internal space (a). However, in the present invention, the hot steam is not sprayed directly into the inner space (a), but temporarily stays in the first buffer space 119 provided under the scaffold 118, and then the inner space (a) through the injection holes 118a. Because it is made of a structure that is sprayed to the edge of the), has a special effect that can prevent the safety accident of the user due to high temperature steam.

The chair 120 is installed in the interior space a of the half body bathtub 110. Chair 120 is made of a seat plate 124 and a backrest 122 that can lean on the user, it is preferable that the chair 120 is also made of wood, such as half-bath tub 110. The chair 120 has a left bath function using steam. In the center of the seat plate 124 of the chair 120, a left bath hole 126 is formed, and a predetermined second buffer space 125 is formed below it. The second buffer space 125 is connected to a steam bath for a left bath in which steam is provided from the steam generating member 130 to receive steam. As described above, the half body bath apparatus 100 of the present invention may use both the half body bath and the left side bath according to a user's selection, or may have any particular effect of using any one of them.

The half body bathtub 110 provides a storage space b under the seat plate of the chair 120, and the steam generating member 130 is installed in the storage space b.

The heater 140 is mounted to the fixing plate 142 which is detachably installed on the steam tank 132. Therefore, when the heater is damaged (damaged), the fixing plate 142 is separated and only the broken heater 140 can be easily replaced individually, so that the heater is easily replaced.

The water level sensor 144 detects the water level of the steam tank 132 and provides it to the controller. The control unit operates a pump (not shown) to replenish water from the water tank when the water level of the steam tank falls below the set level.

On the other hand, in the steam tank 132, water (boiling) is generated as the water is boiled by the heater 140, such a ban causing a false detection (defect detection) of the water level sensor 144. Therefore, the second vertical overflow wall 138 is installed inside the steam tank 132. The second water overflow prevention wall 138 is installed vertically between the heater 140 and the water level sensor 144 to act as a breakwater to maintain a stable water surface from the boil generated when the water boils over. Thus, in the present invention has a special effect that the purified water level detection of the steam tank 132 is possible.

The preheating pipe 135 is installed adjacent to the floor to be submerged in the water filled in the steam tank 132. Water replenished from the bucket 170 to the steam tank 132 is preheated by the water heated in the steam tank 132 while passing through the preheating pipe 135 is supplied. Therefore, when the replenishment water of the low temperature provided from the water tank 170 when replenishing the steam tank 132 is immediately replenished with the steam tank 132, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the steam generation is temporarily stopped.

The control unit 160 is installed in the firewall 162, the firewall 162 protects the control unit 160 from the heat generated by the steam tank 132. The control unit 160 is installed perpendicular to the firewall 162, although not shown, vent holes through which external air may be introduced may be formed on a surface facing the control unit 160.

The steam supply in the steam half body bath apparatus having the above-described configuration is as follows.

First, when the user turns on the power on the operation panel 116 and sets the temperature (65 degrees), the control unit 160 generates the heater 140 of the steam generating member 130 to generate steam from the steam tank 132. Start the operation. The steam generated in the steam tank 132 is supplied to the first and second buffer spaces 119 and 125 through the half-bath steam line 150 and the left-bath steam line 152. The steam supplied to the first buffer space 119 increases the temperature of the scaffold 118 and is supplied to the internal space a through the injection holes 118a formed on the side of the scaffold 118 so that Raise the internal temperature. At this time, the internal temperature is detected in real time by the temperature sensor 190 installed in the half body bath 110 is provided to the control unit 160, the control unit 160 is supplied with steam until the detection temperature reaches the set temperature The heater 140 is controlled to lose. When the sensing temperature reaches the set temperature, the control unit 160 stops the heater operation, and when the sensing temperature falls below the set temperature, the control unit 160 operates the heater 160 again to maintain the internal temperature of the half bath 110 at the set temperature. Let's go. Meanwhile, steam provided to the second buffer space 125 is discharged through the left bath hole 126 for the left bath. If the medicinal herbs such as wormwood are placed in the second buffer space 125, the weakness of the medicinal herbs is discharged together with the steam to further improve the sitz bath effect.
