Description

Folding sauna

The present invention relates to a folding personal sauna that can be used in a user's lying state or sitting state, by folding the two folding parts rotatably hinged to the central connection portion provided with a control unit, in use to expand the use in the form of a versatile and The present invention relates to a folding personal sauna configured to be stored inside.

In general, saunas are not water but steam or hot water. The temperature of the sauna room is 70 ~ 110 ℃ and sitting in it to sweat a lot of metabolism, blood circulation, skin respiration is promoted.

Sauna types include dry, wet, buried, and assembled.

First, in the case of wet (방식 式) is a way of releasing sweat at a low temperature of 40 ~ 60 ° C very high humidity, unlike a high-temperature sauna that stimulates the sympathetic nerve to stimulate the parasympathetic nerve to relieve sedative effects and stress good. The wet type is divided into a shower booth type and a buried type. The shower booth type is equipped with a steamer in a commercialized booth, and can be easily installed where it is needed. And install the steam controller, steam generating box and steam outlet on the ceiling or wall.

On the other hand, dry (유래 式) is derived from the Finnish sauna, a hot air bath in the hot dry air of 80-105 ° C. almost no moisture in a wooden building or room. Dry saunas with high temperatures stimulate the sympathetic nerves of the human body to strengthen the activity of the heart and circulatory system, increasing blood pressure and improving blood circulation. However, home saunas are difficult to install high-temperature sauna facilities, so saunas using far-infrared radiators are the mainstream.

The sauna using far-infrared heat warms the body with low-temperature radiant heat, so the hot feeling is smooth and high blood pressure, heart disease, and the elderly can safely use it.

Since saunas using far infrared rays can be manufactured in a small size by means of radiating far infrared rays such as planar heating elements, saunas for personal use have been widely used as well-being products in recent years.

On the other hand, in the dry sauna using far-infrared, a planar heating element (hereinafter referred to as a carbon fiber planar heating element) using carbon fiber as a heating element of the steamer is widely used. For the carbon fiber planar heating element, a domestic application has been filed by the present applicant. It is described in detail in patent publication 2002-5166, utility model registration 217397, utility model registration 258562, utility model registration 247329.

In order to stabilize the fiber structure, the carbon fiber planar heat generating paper is formed of carbon fiber into a planar shape by a molding functional material, for example, a resin.

In addition, the far infrared radiator is composed of an organic compound layer laminated on both sides of the carbon fiber planar heating paper, and when the carbon fiber blend paper is energized, the carbon fiber generates heat to radiate far infrared rays. The radiated far infrared rays are efficiently absorbed by the entire black carbon fiber blend paper, and the far infrared rays are radiated in the plane from the surface of the carbon fiber blend paper.

In addition, the far infrared rays radiated from the carbon fiber blend paper cause resonance at a specific wavelength in the organic compound layer, and the far infrared rays in the wavelength region depending on the wavelength are radiated. It is known that the above-mentioned carbon fiber planar heating element is widely applied to health aids and heating aids to be used in various types of saunas to increase subcutaneous deep body temperature, expand microvascular vessels, promote blood circulation, and enhance metabolism. ought.

In this way, the far-infrared radiation method by the surface heating paper has the advantage of heating in the temperature range suitable for the sauna without taking up a lot of volume, it has been used for the use of personal sauna machine in the past.

Utility Model Registration No. 200235963 is an example of a personal sauna machine using a carbon fiber planar heating element, and as shown in FIG. 6, a panel (a) in which far-infrared radiant heat is generated to generate convenience in use is formed in a polymorphic shape. However, the inside of the panel (a) is provided with a planar heating paper (b), and a portion of the panel is provided with a control unit (c) for controlling on and off the planar heating paper, so that the user can be used in the lying down state It was.

However, in the conventional method configured as described above, not only the panel is integrally bulky, but also there is a problem in that it is not easy to store, and there is also a problem that it is inconvenient to use because of poor mobility.

In addition, since there is no therapeutic effect other than far-infrared radiation, there was also a problem that does not give enough satisfaction for the human body requiring a complex therapeutic effect.

An object of the present invention is to solve the problems of the conventional method,

The main purpose is to make the body foldable so that it can be in the form of a polymorph as in the past, but when it is stored, the two folding parts are folded inward with respect to the central connection part, so that the storage property is good. .

In addition, when the two folds are folded inward, the joining means for both folds is provided so as not to be easily restored to the unfolded state, and the central connection is provided with a handle, so that the mobility is also good with storage. Is there.

Finally, in addition to the planar heating element, by having an anion generator together, there is a third purpose to provide a sufficient satisfaction for the human body that requires a complex therapeutic effect.

In the present invention for achieving the above object,

By hinge-bonding the two arc-shaped folds to the central connection, the folds are unfolded during use so as to form a polymorphic overall shape, and when folded, the folds can be folded inward.

In addition, the central connection portion is provided by the handle portion is configured to be easy to grasp the hand when moving, and the magnet is provided at the lower end of both folding portions, when the folding portion is folded to meet the front end, it is possible to maintain the bonding state And mobility is improved.

On the other hand, the lower portion of the central connection portion is provided with an anion generator, so that in addition to the far infrared can produce a complex therapeutic effect.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail.

As described above, according to the present invention,

The main body is configured to be foldable so as to be in the form of a polymorphic shape as before, but when stored, the two folding parts 2 are folded inward with respect to the central connection part 1 so that the storage property is improved. It is effective.

In addition, when the two folds 2 are folded inwards, bonding means for both folds 2 are provided so that they are not easily restored to the unfolded state, and the handle 12 is provided at the central connection 1. By doing so, there is an effect that the mobility is also improved along with the storage.

Finally, in addition to the planar heating element, by including the negative ion generator 14, there is an effect that gives a sufficient satisfaction for the human body that requires a complex therapeutic effect.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
