Description

Far-infrared sauna used in bathtubs {SAUNA STEAM TUB}

The present invention relates to a far-infrared sauna device for use in a bathtub.

The present invention relates to a far-infrared sauna device for use in a bathtub. A bathtub is installed in most residential spaces such as apartments and villas, but recently, shower booths are installed instead of bathtubs in residential means of small spaces such as studios. However, when there is no bathtub, a bathtub is often required, and if possible, a bathtub is installed, but the bathtub has a disadvantage in that its utilization is low. In the present invention, the size of the bathtub is reduced and the function of the bathtub is added so that it can be used for multiple purposes by having a sauna function other than the bathtub, thereby increasing the demand for the bathtub. In particular, in the present invention, the demand for use and installation can be increased by enabling steam sauna, sitting steaming, and sitting bath using a bathtub.

A steam sauna can raise the body temperature more slowly than soaking in a bathtub. While the body temperature rises slowly, the body's immune system judges it to be similar to a fever and produces immune substances to fight the virus while boosting the immune system. Because it is more active, you can have immunity against viruses such as colds. In addition, while the muscles are relaxed in the sauna, blood pressure goes down, and as you go in and out of the sauna, you are exposed to different temperatures, promoting blood circulation to keep you healthy. In addition, during the steam sauna time, you can have time needed to recover from fatigue because you are disconnected from the outside and your muscles are relaxed. However, it is difficult to install a conventional steam sauna in a house because a separate space is required for installation and the installation cost is high.

In addition, a sitting steamer refers to a device that exposes far-infrared rays to a woman's lower body for women's health. A sitz bath using far-infrared rays raises the body temperature and expands micro blood vessels in the body, thereby promoting blood circulation and metabolic function and improving cell regeneration. In addition, sterilization and disinfection were also performed.

In particular, women-related diseases that occur in the perineum, uterus, etc. receive the effect of these far-infrared rays and have the effect of reducing related diseases. Since there are more cases of working in a standing kitchen, the opportunity to irradiate far-infrared rays was reduced as above, and the number of patients with female diseases was forced to increase. It was designed to be used in combination, but it focuses on sitz bath rather than sitz steam, and has the disadvantage that steam escapes well. Korean Utility Model No. 20-0446530 Multi-function sitz steam bath machine capable of foot bathing is possible for sitz steamer and sitz bath. Since you have to spend time sitting on top, it was inconvenient to have to set aside time for sitting training.

The present invention has been made to overcome the above disadvantages, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a steam sauna device that can be installed and used in a bathtub so that steam sauna and left steaming are possible without discomfort in daily life. to be

In order to achieve the above object, a far-infrared sauna device used in a bathtub is provided. An edge portion 41 extending in a direction parallel to the floor when the body 31 is placed on the floor is formed around the body 31 At least one of both ends of the main body 31 is formed with a flat support part 42, and the inside of the main body 31 includes a chair part 32 where a person can sit and a bottom part 33 where a person can put their legs. ) are formed continuously in a stepwise fashion, so when viewed from the side, the bottom of the chair part 32 is higher than the floor of the bottom part 33, and the first fumigation part 36 is formed on the bottom of the chair part 32, so that far-infrared rays and steam generators are formed. Any one or more of them may be attached to generate any one or more of steam and far-infrared rays inside the main body.

The bottom of the bottom part 33 may be recessed downward to form a second fumigation part 37 for holding a steam generator or placing a far-infrared ray generator.

The end of the bottom portion 33 is elevated but formed lower than the height of the rim portion 41 to form the footrest portion 35 .

A lid covering the top of the main body may be further included to prevent generated steam from escaping.

An opening 51 is formed on the side surface of the lid, and an outlet 52 is formed on the lower surface of the lid 50, and between the opening 51 and the outlet 52, steam entering from the opening 51 is discharged through the outlet 52. A fan 53 may be formed to discharge to ).

The flow rate of the steam discharged from the outlet 52 may be such that 1/4 to 1/3 of the steam rising to the bottom is discharged to meet at the bottom to form a vortex.

According to the invention as described above, a steam bath is installed even in a narrow space and there is an effect of providing a sitting smoking / sitting bathing machine that enables sitting smoking / sitting bathing.

1 to 4 are views showing one embodiment according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The main body 31 of the steam sauna device according to the present invention has a length and width similar to that of the bathtub so that it can be mounted on the bathtub, and a space for one person to sit is provided inside and supported by the bathtub when placed on the bathtub An edge portion 41 is formed around the main body to be able to be. In addition, one end has a support portion 42. The support portion 42 has a flat shape and is placed on a flat surface of a general bathtub to support the entire body, and is formed at both ends of the body 31. While the support part 42 is placed on the flat part of the bathtub, the entire body is supported on the bathtub by the support part 42, and in the figure, it can be seen that the support part 42 is formed larger on the side where the chair part 32 is formed.

A chair portion 32 is formed on one side of the body 31, and the chair portion 32 is recessed into the body 31 so that it can be seated. In addition, the bottom part 33, in which the legs can be accommodated when sitting, is formed continuously with the chair part 32.

As shown in the drawing, when viewed from the side, the support portion 42 is formed at both ends, and the support portion 34 supporting the back upward of the support portion 42 is formed at one end. Support portion 34 has a slight inclination so that you can lean on your back.

The chair portion 32 is continuously formed on the side where the support portion 34 is formed, and in the drawing, the bottom surface of the chair portion 32 is also tilted so that when sitting, the knee portion rises to make it easy to sit. In addition, a first fumigation part 36 is formed on the bottom surface of the chair part 31 so that far-infrared rays can be directly applied toward the perineum.

The height of the bottom surface of the chair part 32 is higher than the height of the continuously formed bottom part 33, so there is an empty space below the chair part 32. Since both sides are supported by the support part 41, it is tilted when sitting There is no problem with losing or falling. In addition, since a certain amount of space is created, if a device is needed for generating steam, it can be accommodated in the space below the chair part 32 and connected to the main body 31. In addition, the high height of the chair portion 32 increases the space inside the body 31 when the height of the chair portion 32 is low, requiring a lot of fumigator to fill the inside, but as shown, it is possible to sit When only the space is formed, the amount of the fumigator required to fill the inside of the main body 31 is not large.

Continuing to the chair part 32, a bottom part 33 having a lower floor height than the chair part is formed. In the second fumigation unit 37, a far-infrared ray generator may be placed, a device generating steam may be installed and fixed therein, or steam may be generated from the outside and introduced. To this end, an external connection pipe may be formed in the second fumigation unit. The steam generated in the second fumigation unit rises upward and warms the user's lower body. When the lid is closed, the steam inside the main body 31 increases the temperature and stays inside the main body 31 .

The inside of the main body 31 is formed so that the legs are accommodated in the bottom portion 33 and the seat portion 32 is formed so that the steam sauna is possible. After a person sits on the main body 31, it can be covered with a lid (not shown), and the lid can cover only the space above the bottom part 33 or even the space above the chair part 32. Anything that can be covered can be covered. whatever is available

When a person sits on the chair part 32, the upper body comes out of the bathtub, and a support part 34 is formed at the end of the main body where the chair part 32 is formed, so that you can lean your back when sitting on the chair part 32 A neck support portion capable of supporting the neck may be further formed at the top of the support portion 34. When a user sits on the chair portion 32, the user's upper body protrudes upward from the main body and becomes in a state similar to taking a half-bath.

Conventionally used bathtubs have been used a lot in size so that one person can lie down, but recently, in order to save space when designing a house, there is a tendency to install a shower booth rather than a bathtub, and in the case of a bathtub, it takes up a lot of space. However, because there are many people who want a bathtub, the need for a bathtub is low. In the present invention, the steam sauna function is provided to the bathtub so that the steam bathtub can be installed even in a small space, and it can be used in the same form as a steam sauna, thereby reducing the need for a bathtub was made to increase.

A first fumigation part 36 and a second fumigation part 37 are formed at the lower end of the chair part 32 and the bottom part 33. The first and second fumigating units 36 and 37 may generate fumigators or far-infrared rays. In the embodiment, the first fumigation part 36 is formed at the lower end of the chair part 32 and serves to warm the lower body when sitting on the chair part 32. The second fumigating unit 37 formed on the bottom part 33 may introduce a fumigator generated from the outside to fill the main body 31 with the fumigator so that a steam sauna can be performed. In addition, the second fumigation unit 37 also generates far-infrared rays, and when the lid is covered, the internal temperature of the main body rises due to the heat emitted from the first and second fumigation units, creating a state similar to that of a steam sauna. When far-infrared rays are emitted, you can feel warmth by the heat generated with the far-infrared rays. A far-infrared light bulb that simply emits red light along with heat may be used, and configurations used to generate other far-infrared rays may be applied. In addition, even in the case of using only the far-infrared ray generator, it may be sufficient to operate only with a battery.

Since the conventional steam sauna or sitting steaming / sitting bath machine is used only for steam sauna or sitting training / sitting bath, in order to use it, it is necessary to take out the sauna machine from the place where it is stored, install it, and disassemble and store it again after use. This process is repeated As the assembly and disassembly became cumbersome, there was a tendency to not use it well. In the present invention, all the devices for the steam sauna are gathered, so it is difficult to use because it can be used by attaching it to the bathtub, but if the bathtub is needed, the whole can be taken out and used. does not exist.

A foot support portion 35 may be formed at an end of the bottom portion 33 . The footrest part 35 does not play a special role for steam/fumigation, but can be used when steam/fumigation is performed in a sitting position and the feet are stretched and raised to be in a different posture. The footrest portion 35 is formed on the opposite side of the body on which the support portion is formed, and is formed by extending the support portion to the side of the footrest portion 35.

A control unit for generating steam and turning on/off devices including far-infrared rays may be attached to the side surface of the main body. The steam used in the present invention can be liquefied quickly, so the part that uses electricity and controls can be attached to the outer part of the main body where the influence of steam is the least.

Figure 4 shows another embodiment of the lid. The lid 50 may only serve to cover the main body to prevent steam from escaping, but the lid shown in FIG. 4 more actively prevents steam inside the main body from escaping to the outside. That is, an opening 51 is formed at one end of the lid, a discharge opening 52 is formed at the lower end of the lid, and a fan may be formed between the opening 51 and the discharge opening 52. The opening 51 faces the user's body, so steam generated from the bottom rises toward the user's body when the lid is closed. A fan 53 is formed between the opening 51 and the outlet 52, ) to draw steam back and send it out through the outlet 52.

With this configuration, it is difficult for steam to escape to the outside, and it comes down from the lid and is mixed with the steam below. In this process, the steam rising from the bottom and the steam coming down from the top meet to form a vortex at the top of the bottom. Where the vortex is formed, the steam moves and touches the user's body more, increasing the effect of fumigation. When the number of revolutions of the fan 53 is changed over time in order to form more vortexes, larger vortexes are formed. In order to actually form a vortex, if the amount of steam coming down from the top, about 1/3 to 1/4 of the steam coming up from the bottom, is supplied every minute, it will be suitable for fumigation. Since the amount of steam actually generated is not so large, the fan 53 used in the lid 50 can be used even by a battery or a small current, and even if you use a few tens of rpm per minute, an appropriate vortex it is possible to create
