Description

The invention relates to the field of herbal medicine, in particular to devices that provide a more effective prophylactic effect of phytochemicals on the human body.

The known method of the Losevsky phyto-fire, including the collection of medicinal plants for a therapeutic steam concentrate (2.5-3 kg of dry collection per 20-25 liters of spring water), is placed in a steam generator installed on a gas stove, the flame of which is easily regulated. The resulting healing steam concentrate is supplied through hoses from the steam generator to a sealed cedar barrel made of Siberian cedar no younger than 300 years of age. In a barrel, on a bench, a patient is placed whose head is outside, which allows breathing ordinary air, as a result of which the procedure is well tolerated. See Utility Model Certificate No. 10572 of August 16, 1999.

The disadvantages of this method, including a cedar barrel with a steam generator and hoses connecting them, include the fact that the steam supplied in the lower part does not provide heating for the whole organism, the steam tends to rise in the upper part of the barrel and a temperature difference occurs at the top of the barrel and at the bottom, stagnation occurs a pair, which leads to a feeling that the legs are not warming up.

Known for a more perfect device for herbal medicine "Praskovya" - prototype - see (RU 2202315 C1, 04/20/2003), containing a cylindrical made of wood, such as cedar, a body with lower and upper bases, a door located in the cavity of the body of the seat, the steam-air mixture distributor is made in the form of a torus in the lower part of the housing and is connected by a steam line to a steam generator containing heating elements. There is a drain hole in the lower base.

The disadvantages of the prototype include the low effectiveness of the preventive effect of phyto-harvests on the human body.

The objective of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the prototype, in particular, to increase the effectiveness of the preventive effect of herbal herbs on the human body.

The task is achieved in that the steam-air mixture distributor is mounted externally around the perimeter of the housing and is made in the form of a torus divided into two halves in the horizontal plane, with the possibility of directing the steam-air mixture flow through the guides located in it, in one half in the right direction and in the second half - in the left direction, while the vapor-air mixture distributor is connected to the housing cavity by means of tangentially located channels, and is mounted in the upper part of the housing There are channels for water supply.

Channels for supplying water are made with the possibility of spraying the entire body of the patient, and in the lower base of the body there is a channel for draining water.

A conductive grounded rug is laid on the inner surface of the lower base of the housing.

The seat is adjustable in height.

Signs of the execution of the steam-air mixture dispenser outside the perimeter of the casing and in the form of a torus divided into two halves in the horizontal plane, with the possibility of directing the steam-air mixture flow through the guides located in it, in one half in the right direction and in the second half in the left direction, with the steam-air mixture distributor is connected to the body cavity by means of tangentially located channels, and in the upper part of the body the channels for water supply are mounted - are new and, non-obvious, industrially feasible, are aimed at implementing the task of the invention to increase the effectiveness of the preventive effect of phytochemicals on the patient's body.

The signs of the device, namely, that the channels for supplying water are made with the possibility of spraying the entire body of the patient, and in the lower base of the casing there is a channel for draining water, as well as the fact that on the inner surface of the lower base of the casing there is a conductive grounded mat, and the seat is made with the possibility of height adjustment - are signs that explain the specific implementation of the main features, and provide a uniform, swirling direction of the steam-air mixture, which, starting from the bottom, provides It protects the longer and evenly distributed effect of heat and phytochemicals on the human body, and also provides alignment with the height of the temperature regime. In addition, a longer contact of the steam-air mixture with the inner surface of the cedar wood allows the fullest and most effective use of the positive effect of cedar on the patient's body. The tangentially located channels allow the use, including alternately, of the steam-air flow in a given direction, which is directly related to obtaining a positive result of the uniform distribution of the steam-air mixture, which is the object of the present invention.

The channels for supplying water mounted in the upper part of the body are designed to spray the entire body of the patient, and the channel for draining the water in the lower base is designed to wash off the patient's sweat and provide an increase in the efficiency of the effect of phyto-collection on a clean patient's body with open pores of the body.

A stacked conductive grounded rug together with water helps to remove negative charge for a person’s state.

Making the seat height-adjustable allows you to use the internal space of the device for patients of various sizes.

Figure 1 schematically shows the proposed device.

Figure 2 shows the distribution mechanism of the vapor-air mixture.

Figure 3 schematically shows a system for supplying water to a mini-bath.

The proposed mini-bath consists of a cylindrical body 1 with a hinged door 2, upper 3 and lower 4 bases. In the lower part of the cylindrical body 1, the steam-air mixture distribution mechanism 5 is mounted on the outside, made in the form of a torus with two parts divided in a horizontal plane: 6 - upper and 7 - lower. Guides 8 provide the right direction of flow of the vapor-air mixture, and guides 9 provide the left direction. The channels 10 for supplying the vapor-air mixture are made tangentially, which ensures uniform distribution of the vapor-air mixture along the perimeter of the lower part of the mini-bath cavity. Channels 11 for supplying water with sprayers 12 are made in the upper part of the mini-bath. The seat 13 with the help of pins, for example, installed in the holes of the wall of the housing 1, is made adjustable in height. The channel 14 for water drainage is made in the lower 4 base of the mini-bath, on which a conductive grounded mat 15 is laid. To maintain the specified temperature conditions, the mini-bath has a temperature sensor and voltage regulator supplied to the heating elements 16 (heating elements) of the steam generator 17. On the steam-air wire 18 mounted device 19 for the use of phyto-collection, which are placed in a mesh basket 20. The switch of the direction of flow of the vapor-air mixture 21 with a diaphragm 22 is mounted between the mini-bath and the device 19. Open Tie 23 for the head is made in the upper base 3 and is offset to the back of the mini-bath.

The proposed mini-bath works as follows.

The patient with the door 2 open sits on the seat 13, which is fitted in height, setting his feet on the conductive grounded floor mat 15. The door 2 closes. The resulting gap between the neck of the patient and the edge of the hole 23 of the upper bottom 3 is closed, for example with a towel. The steam-air mixture is supplied from the steam generator 17 to the cavity of the mini-sauna, for example, through the upper part 6 of the torus of the steam-air mixture distribution mechanism 5 and is twisted along the perimeter of the inner cavity of the mini-bath body using the guide 8 to the right side (clockwise) gradually filling the mini-sauna steam heated steam bath. In this case, the diaphragm 22 directs the flow of the vapor-air mixture to the upper part 6 of the distribution mechanism 5. After warming up the patient for a predetermined period of time, the sweat and salts released from the body of the patient are washed off by supplying cold or heated water, depending on the selected mode, through sprayers 12. Then, the heated phyto-steam mixture is fed into the cavity of the mini-bath, which is prepared in the device 19, for which purpose, for example, the necessary herbs are placed in the basket 20 and the device lid is closed 19. Steam, rohodya through the grass, moisturizes them, absorbs them useful components and supplies in a mini-bath tangentially through the execution channel 10. At the end of the impact on the patient fitoparovozdushnoy mixture of patient 2 opens the door and walks out of the mini-baths. During exposure of the patient to the steam-air mixture and phyto-steam-air mixture, in order to increase the effectiveness of the action, when the steam is supplied to the upper 6 or lower 7 parts of the torus of the distribution mechanism 5, the flow directions can be changed using the membrane 22 and the flow switch 21, thereby ensuring a uniform, optimal temperature for the patient , height mini-saunas, mode. Washing off sweat from the patient allows more efficient use of the applied phyto-collection. In addition, beekeeping products, propolis, wax, honey, etc. can be used as phyto-collections, depending on the desired result of the preventive effect on the human body.

The authors have now produced several mini-baths of the proposed design, conducted tests that showed good results of a positive effect on the well-being of patients.

Working drawings have been developed for the design of the mini-bath, work is underway to certify the mini-bath and certification, components are being purchased and production is being prepared.
