Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat cabin, which serves to promote the well-being of people and their health.
- the sauna as an application of moist or dry heat has long been known.
- infrared radiation cabins have also been offered outside of medical applications.
- Infrared lamps, electric quartz radiators or ceramic radiators and increasingly also heating foils are preferably used as radiation sources.
- Such a heating foil is used in the portable sweating device of DE 3421110.
- Such heating foils have already become known as so-called wallpaper heaters for heating living spaces and have some advantages over point-shaped or linear radiation sources in terms of radiation distribution and processability.
- the object of the invention is such a warm booth to provide, whose radiation properties are even better adapted to human needs.
- the aim of this is to provide a heat cabin which, owing to its simple and safe operability, is also well suited for use outside of medical use and which brings about a high degree of well-being for people and avoids harmful side effects from overexposure.
- a heat cabin is provided in which at least one person can stay, the person preferably sitting.
- the invention is also applicable to the irradiation of standing people if the radiant heating elements are arranged accordingly.
- a head height detection device is provided for automatically detecting the head height, the head height in the following to be understood as the position of the head in space.
- a control device for connecting and disconnecting predetermined radiant heating elements is connected to the head height detection device, with freely selectable temperature values being adjustable depending on the configuration of the control device.
- the radiant heating elements are controlled so that the radiation reaching the head of the person does not exceed a predetermined upper limit. An intense feeling of comfort is achieved and an undesirably high level of radiation to the head is reliably avoided.
- an ultrasonic distance sensor system is used to detect the head height.
- Such sensor systems are well known to the person skilled in the art, so that no further explanation of the function is required.
- a light barrier is used to detect the head height. Photoelectric sensors are simple and reliable assemblies. If only one light barrier is used, only a rough regulation can be achieved. If several light barriers arranged one above the other are used, the grading and thus the regulation can be carried out much more precisely.
- the head height detection device is a proximity sensor with an electromagnetic resonant circuit, which emits a high-frequency electromagnetic signal via an antenna.
- an electromagnetic resonant circuit which emits a high-frequency electromagnetic signal via an antenna.
- the resonance frequency of the resonant circuit changes. This change is determined and used to record the head height.
- Such measuring systems have to be calibrated once, as in the case of ultrasound measurement, but this is sufficiently known to the person skilled in the art of sensor technology.
- heating foil sections are used as radiant heating elements.
- This development of the invention has a number of advantages over conventional quartz radiators.
- the wavelength emitted by quartz radiators essentially does not correspond to the optimal wavelength range for the beneficial heat treatment of humans. Therefore, in order to achieve a desired heat effect in the optimal wavelength range, a higher radiation output of the quartz radiator is required, which is not necessary in the case of a heating foil, since the emitted wavelength comes close to the optimum for the heat treatment of humans.
- the heating foil thus has a higher medical heat efficiency.
- Another disadvantage of quartz emitters is that they are designed as point or line emitters, so that various measures, such as. B. reflectors in connection with diffusers must be provided in order to distribute the heat radiation evenly in a heat cabin. These measures are not necessary when using heating foils, which can significantly reduce costs. Another cost reduction is given by the fact that for heating foils due to their lower operating temperature, no special protection against burns has to be provided and the heating foil itself can be produced inexpensively.
- a plurality of separately switchable or controllable radiant heating elements is provided.
- This development of the invention enables the generation of a spatial temperature profile. So it is possible to select selected body areas, such as. B. the neck and shoulder area to be irradiated with a different radiation density than the rest of the upper body. Areas of the lower body can also be treated with different temperatures.
- control device has an electronic memory in which different spatial temperature profiles are stored so that they can be called up. It should be emphasized that such a spatial temperature profile is generated depending on the position of the head.
- the control device has a time control which is designed such that the temperature profile is changed in a predetermined manner during the irradiation time. So it can e.g. For example, it may be advantageous to irradiate a certain body section more strongly for the first 10 minutes and then to reduce the radiation to a medically predetermined value. It can also be therapeutically useful to mutually irradiate certain parts of the body.
- the control device has an electronic memory in which different temporal temperature profiles are stored so that they can be called up.
- various radiation programs can, for. B. can be accessed by key operation. Details of such circuits are well known, e.g. B. from the control of a washing machine that has different washing programs, so that the person skilled in the art is able without further explanations to control such to develop and build stanchions without requiring inventive step.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the heat cabin shown in the
- the heat cabin has a door 1, a bench 2 and a lighting device 13 on a ceiling 7.
- Heating foils 11, 12 are arranged on the side walls 3, 4.
- a heating film 8 is arranged on a floor 5.
- the heating foil 9 on the seat 2 is provided for irradiating the calf area.
- Further heating foils 12, 14 and 15 are arranged on a rear wall 6 for irradiating the back and neck area
- the heating foils 14 and 15 are provided for irradiating the neck area. Depending on the size of the person, the heating foil 14 or 15 is switched on. In order to avoid accidental irradiation of the back of the head, the position of the neck area is determined by means of a light barrier arrangement. at The light beam of the light barrier 16 is not interrupted by a smaller person, but that of the light barrier 17. The heating foil 14 is not switched on by means of the symbolically represented switching and control electronics 18. When a small child is sitting in the heat cabin, the light beam from the light barrier 17 is not interrupted, ie the heating foil 15 is also not switched on.
