Abstract

A modular steam bath cabinet has a steam generating system including a heated, inclined evaporating surface over which heated liquid flows to cause evaporation of the liquid. Any known evaporated liquid is collected, reheated and recirculated. Heated liquid may also be circulated to a shower nozzle. The steam generating system is part of the module, which includes the floor of the cabinet.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Saunakabine, die für vier verschiedene Funktionen wie: als Duschkabine, Dampfsauna, Heilkräuter-Dampfsauna und als Heilkräuterbad mit Massage und Strahlwirkung verwendet werden kann, und betriebsbereit nur eine Bodenfläche von 80 x 80 cm benötigt.The invention relates to a sauna cabin, which can be used for four different functions such as: a shower cabin, steam sauna, medicinal herbal steam sauna and as a herbal bath with massage and jet effect, and only needs a floor area of 80 x 80 cm ready for operation.

Auf dem Markt erhältliche Saunas beanspruchen einen grossen Aufstellplatz, haben einen grossen Elektro-Anschlusswert und können nur für eine Funktion verwendet werden. Zum Beispiel benötigt ein Heilkräuter-Vollbad eine zehnfache Wassermenge und entsprechend viel Heilkräuter und Aufheizenergie.Saunas available on the market require a large installation space, have a large electrical connection value and can only be used for one function. For example, a full medicinal herb bath requires ten times the amount of water and a corresponding amount of medicinal herbs and heating energy.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen.The invention seeks to remedy this.

Die Erfindung, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, indem das Wasser im drucklosen Wasserbehälter, welcher ca. 10 Liter fasst, auf die gewünschte Temperatur gebracht wird und mit der Umwälzpumpe, die im Kreislauf arbeitet, durch das Filter-Mischgefäss in die Saunawanne gebracht,- und mittels der Verteildüse mit Strahlwirkung gleichmässig auf den gesamten Sauna-Wannenboden verteilt wird, was eine gleichmässige Dampfbildung garantiert. Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im Wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass Wasser, Elektrizität und Heilkräuter sehr sparsam verbraucht werden. Von Vorteil ist, dass die ganze steckerfertige Kompakteinheit nur eine Bodenfläche von 80 x 80 cm beansprucht und trotzdem für vier Funktionen nach Beschrieb verwendet werden kann. Ein weiterer Vorteil ist, dass eine Entleerungspumpe (Förderhöhe 150 cm) und Wasserventile für Kalt- und Warmwasser montiert sind, was die Aufstellungsmöglichkeiten erweitert.The invention, as characterized in the claims, solves the problem by bringing the water in the unpressurized water container, which holds approx. 10 liters, to the desired temperature and with the circulation pump, which works in the circuit, through the filter mixing vessel brought into the sauna tub - and distributed evenly over the entire sauna tub floor by means of the distribution nozzle with jet effect, which guarantees an even steam formation. The advantages achieved by the invention can essentially be seen in the fact that water, electricity and medicinal herbs are used very sparingly. The advantage is that the entire plug-in compact unit only occupies a floor area of 80 x 80 cm and can still be used for four functions as described. Another advantage is that a drain pump (delivery head 150 cm) and water valves for cold and hot water are installed, which extends the installation options.

Im Folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand von darstellenden Zeichnungen näher erläutert:The invention is explained in more detail below with the aid of illustrative drawings:

Funktion Duschen:

  • Als Duschkabine verwendet, fliesst Kalt- Warmwasser über die Einlassventile zur Mischbatterie 19, an die eine Duschenbrause angeschlossen ist. Das Abwasser wird durch Pumpe 13, die automatisch in Betrieb gesetzt wird, wenn die Funktion "Duschen" am Steuerkasten 21, gewählt wird, über den Entleerungsschlauch 14, fortlaufend abgepumpt.
Shower function:
  • Used as a shower cabin, cold and hot water flows via the inlet valves to the mixer tap 19, to which a shower head is connected. The waste water is continuously pumped out by the pump 13, which is automatically put into operation when the “showering” function on the control box 21 is selected, via the drain hose 14.

Funktion Dampfsauna:

  • Der Wasserbehälter 1, mit Elektroheizung 2, wird über das Einlassventil durch Niveauregler gesteuert und gefüllt, die gewünschte Temperatur und Zeitdauer werden am Steuerkasten 21, gewählt. Das Heisswasser wird mit Umwälzpumpe 3, über die Verteildüse 7, in die Saunawanne 8, gepumpt und auf den Wannenboden gleichmässig verteilt, was eine gleichmässige Dampfbildung garantiert. Nachher Rücklauf durch Ablauföffnung 12, von der Saunawanne 8, in den Wasserbehälter 1,.
Steam sauna function:
  • The water tank 1, with electric heater 2, is controlled and filled via the inlet valve by level control, the desired temperature and time are selected on the control box 21. The hot water is pumped with circulation pump 3, through the distributing nozzle 7, into the sauna tub 8 and is evenly distributed on the tub floor g , which guarantees an even formation of steam. Afterwards return through drain opening 12, from the sauna tub 8, into the water tank 1 ,.

Der Heisswasserkreislauf wird während der ganzen Behandlungsdauer durch das am Anfang eingefüllte Wasser gespiesen, lediglich Wasserverlust durch Verdunstung wird gesteuert über den Niveauregler nachgefüllt. Am Schluss der Behandlung erfolgt die Entleerung über Pumpe 13, und Schlauch 14,.The hot water circuit is supplied with water at the beginning during the entire treatment period, only water loss due to evaporation is controlled by the level controller. At the end of the treatment, emptying takes place via pump 13 and hose 14.

Funktion Heilkräuter-Dampfsauna:

  • Gleicher Vorgang wie bei Funktion "Dampfsauna", jedoch wird der Verschluss-Schraubdeckel 6, abgenommen und in das Filtersieb 5, die gewünschten Heilkräuter eingefüllt, die im Mischgefäss 4, durch intensive Umspülung gut ausgewertet werden. Das Filtersieb 5, garantiert, dass keine Kräuterteile in den Kreislauf gelangen und kann nach der Behandlung durch Herausnahme einfach gereinigt werden. Die Entleerung erfolgt über Pumpe 13, und Schlauch 14,.
Medicinal herbal steam sauna function:
  • The same process as for the "steam sauna" function, but the screw cap 6 is removed and the desired medicinal herbs are poured into the filter sieve 5, which are well evaluated in the mixing vessel 4 by intensive washing. The filter sieve 5 guarantees that no herbal parts get into the circuit and can be easily cleaned after removal by treatment. Emptying takes place via pump 13 and hose 14.

Funktion Massage im Heilkräuterbad:

  • Gleicher Vorgang und Arbeitsweise wie bei Funktion "Heilkräuter-Dampfsauna", jedoch wird am Steuerkasten 21, eine niedrigere Temperatur gewählt. Die Druckpumpe 13, wird zusätzlich auf "Massage" umgestellt und die Massagebrause 18, (auf dem Markt erhältlich) in Betrieb genommen. Durch Wasserdruck von Pumpe 13, hat die Bürste an der Massagebrause eine rotierende-fibrierende Wirkung, oder kann auf Strahlwirkung umgestellt werden. Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im Wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass mit 10 % der eingesetzten Mittel die Wirkung eines Heilkräuter-Vollbades erreicht wird, und erst noch mit konstanter Flüssigkeit und Raumtemperatur und Möglichkeit der Massagebehandlung.
Massage function in the herbal bath:
  • The same procedure and mode of operation as for the "medicinal herbal steam sauna" function, but on the control box 21, one lower temperature selected. The pressure pump 13 is also changed over to "massage" and the massage shower 18 (available on the market) is put into operation. As a result of the water pressure from pump 13, the brush on the massage shower has a rotating, fibrillating effect, or can be switched to a jet effect. The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that the effect of a medicinal herb full bath is achieved with 10% of the agents used, and only with a constant liquid and room temperature and the possibility of massage treatment.

Bei allen Funktionen kann man, wenn gewünscht oder gesundheitlich erforderlich, mit Kaltwasser aus der Duschenbatterie 19, die Wirkung eines Wechselbades erreicht werden.In all functions, the effect of an alternating bath can be achieved with cold water from the shower mixer 19, if desired or for health reasons.

Ein Klappsitz ist an der Innenrückwand montiert, der sich bei Nichtgebrauch automatisch hochklappt.A folding seat is mounted on the inside rear wall, which folds up automatically when not in use.
