A humidity sensor 46b is a relative humidity detection unit provided on the upper part in the sweating room 2 for detecting the relative humidity in the sweating room 2.
<Sweating Room>
The apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 includes a ventilator 47 for ventilating the sweating room 2, a door 48 for entering and exiting the sweating room 2, a sight glass 49 provided on the upper part of the door 48, an air inlet 50 provided on the lower part of the door 48 for taking in air from the outside of the sweating room 2 into the inside of the sweating room 2. The air inlet 50 is, when the ventilator 47 is driven, structured to be opened so that the air is supplied from the outside of the sweating room 2 into the inside of the sweating room 2.
The apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 includes an emergency switch 51, and when an abnormality occurs to a user who is taking a bath in the sweating room 2, the emergency switch 51 is operated by the user to report the occurrence of the abnormality in the sweating room 2 to the outside of the sweating room 2 mainly by sounding a buzzer, and to cause the automatic drain valve 13 to open and drain warm water in the water storage unit 6, and also to operate the ventilator 47 so that temperature and humidity in the sweating room 2 are lowered and the inside of the sweating room 2 is returned to a normal state.
The apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 includes a remote controller 52 (see
<Control Device>
A control device 61 is a control unit having functions such as storage, computing, and time counting or the like as shown in
The control device 61 and the remote controller 52 are communicably connected by radio or wired network. The input side of the control device 61 is connected with the float switches 40 and 41, the stored water temperature sensor 44, the overheat prevention sensor 45, the temperature sensor 46a and the humidity sensor 46b, and the emergency switch 51, while the output side of the control device 61 is connected with the automatic water supply valve 8, the heater 9, the automatic drain valve 13, the motor for rotation 22, the blower 35, the air heater 43, and the ventilator 47.
The control device 61 includes a room temperature control unit 61a for controlling room temperature in the sweating room 2, a humidity control unit 61b for controlling the relative humidity in the sweating room 2, a dew-point temperature determination unit 61c for determining the dew-point temperature in the sweating room 2, and a body temperature setting unit 61 for setting the body temperature of the user.
The room temperature control unit 61a controls the air heater 43 so as to keep the room temperature in the sweating room 2.
The humidity control unit 61b controls a rotation speed of the motor for rotation 22 for rotating the rotation body 24 of the mist generator 1 and controls the air heater 9 for heating the warm water in the water storage unit 6 so as to keep the humidity in the sweating room 2. When the relative humidity is raised, the rotation speed of the motor for rotation 22 is increased and the temperature in warm water in the water storage unit 6 is raised.
The control device 61 controls the air heater 43 which is the air heating means and the mist generator 1 so that the dew-point temperature determined by the dew-point temperature determination unit 61a is kept higher than the body temperature of the user.
The dew-point temperature determination unit 61c determines the dew-point temperature in sweat diffused from the user in the sweating room 2 from a preset dew-point temperature calculation formula based on the room temperature in the sweating room 2 measured by the temperature sensor 46a and the relative humidity in the sweating room 2 measured by the humidity sensor 46b.
“Dew-point temperature” is a temperature at which the sweat of the user is not evaporated and formed as droplet, and the room temperature and the relative humidity are managed so as to be higher than the body temperature of the user so that ineffective sweating is promoted. The room temperature is prevented from being excessively increased with the low burden on the user.
Thus, it is preferable that the dew-point temperature is controlled, for example, within 4 degrees C. relative to the body temperature of the user. For example, when the body temperature of the user is 37 degrees C., the relative humidity is controlled so that the dew-point temperature is kept higher than 37 degrees C. and not exceeding 41 degrees C.
<Dew-Point Temperature Determination Unit>
The dew-point temperature td [°C.] of the sweating room 2 can be determined approximately from the dew-point temperature calculation formula (empirical formula), not especially limited because correction coefficients or the like are used based on various conditions, however, for example, the dew-point temperature determination unit determines the dew-point temperature td [° C.] in the sweating room 2 as follows.
When the temperature in the sweating room 2 is represented as t [° C.], an absolute temperature T[K] is determined by T=t+273.15. The relative temperature in the sweating room 2 is represented as RH [%].
A saturated water vapor pressure Pws [kPa] is determined by
Pws=exp{−5800.2206/T+1.3914993−0.048640239×T+0.000041764768×T2−0.000000014452093×T3+6.5459673×In(T)}10000
A water vapor pressure Pw[kPa] is determined by
Pw=Pws*×RH/100.
The dew-point temperature td [° C.] is determined by
td=237.3/{7.5/log(Pw/0.61078)−1}.
Specifically, when the room temperature in the sweating room 2 t[° C.] is set to be 39[° C.], T[K] is 312.5[K]. The relative humidity RH [%] is set to be 90 [%].
The saturated water vapor pressure Pws[kPa] is 6.998944 [kPa].
The water vapor pressure Pw[kPa] is 6.298869 [kPa].
The dew-point temperature td[° C.] is 37.07238 [° C.].
<Dew-Point Temperature Table>
The dew-point temperatures determined as above are shown in
Further, though in the present embodiment the dew-point temperature determination unit 61c determines the dew-point temperature td [° C.] in the sweating room 2 from the preset empirical formula, the dew-point temperatures can be stored as the dew-point temperature table (see
Though a body temperature setting unit 61d can determine the body temperature of the user to be either a measured body temperature input by the user or a assumed body temperature preset by the user, the body temperature of the user maybe detected by a contact sensor (not shown) or a noncontact sensor (not shown) so that the body temperature of the user is determined.
When the user inputs one's body temperature as the measured body temperature from a remote controller 52 (see
The contact sensor (not shown) is a temperature detection unit for detecting the body temperature of the user in such a way as to be attached to the seat surface of the bench 3 (see
The operation of the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 configured in such a way according to the embodiment of the present invention and a method of taking a bath for using the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 to promote the ineffective sweating will be described mainly referring to
In
The temperature in the sweating room 2 is the preset temperature that the user inputs by the room temperature setting switch 55 (see
The apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 causes the control device 61 to keep the relative humidity (90-98%) so that the dew-point temperature is, for example, within plus 4 degrees C., more preferably, within plus 2 degrees C. relative to the body temperature of the user based on the temperature (40 degrees C.) set by the user or the room temperature (40 degrees C.) measured by the temperature sensor 46a.
The temperature in the high temperature sauna to be compared is set to be 90 degrees C. and the relative humidity in the same is 10% (the dew-point temperature is 39.1 degrees C.), while a hot water temperature in the bath to be compared is 40 degrees C.
As shown in
When the user in the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100, after 15 minutes passes, the body temperature of the user is around 37.6 degrees C. in a case where the relative humidity is 98%, while the body temperature of the user is around 37.3 degrees C. in a case where the relative humidity is 90%, thus, the burden on the body of the user proves to be small. At such a time, the dew-point temperature is 39.6 degrees C. (see
Subsequently, a method of taking a bath for promoting the ineffective sweating by using the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 will be described with reference to
When the user takes a bath for 5 minutes, a body surface temperature in the user rises to approximately 37.7 degrees C., thus it is assumed that pores are opened so that ineffective sweating by the low temperature nano-mist sweating is further promoted. However, it is confirmed that in taking a bath the body surface temperature rises, while no change of an internal body temperature 10 mm below the body surface is particularly observed.
Afterward, when the low temperature nano-mist sweating (room temperature: 40 degrees C., humidity: 90%) is promoted in the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 for 15 minutes (elapsed time: 5-20 minutes), the body surface temperature rises to around 37.9 degrees C. (elapsed time: 7 minutes) and then gradually falls to 37.8 degrees C. (elapsed time: 20minutes). This is because of a difference of a subject to be contacted which has been changed from fluid in taking a bath to gas of low temperature nano-mist. In case of the low temperature nano-mist sweating (room temperature: 40 degrees C., humidity: 90%), the dew-point temperature is 38.1 degrees C. (see
In case of the low temperature nano-mist sweating (room temperature: 40 degrees C., humidity: 98%), the body surface temperature rises to 37.9 degrees C. (elapsed time: 7 minutes) and further rises to 38.1 degrees C. (elapsed time: 20 minutes). Under this condition, the dew-point temperature is 39.6 degrees C. (see
It is preferable to take a rest for 10 minutes after the nano-mist sweating (elapsed time: 20-30 minutes). By taking a rest for 10 minutes, in case of the nano-mist sweating (room temperature: 40 degrees C., humidity: 90%), the body surface temperature falls from 37.9 degrees C. gradually to 37.3 degrees C. (elapsed time: 30 minutes), while in case of the nano-mist sweating (room temperature: 40 degrees C., humidity: 98%), the body surface temperature falls from 38.1 degrees C. gradually to 37.5 degrees C.
It is confirmed that the user is subject to the low temperature nano-mist sweating for 15 minutes and a rest for 10 minutes after taking a bath (bath) for 5 minutes so that weight loss is observed not only during the low temperature nano-mist sweating (temperature: 40 degrees C., humidity: 90.98%) but also during the rest for 10 minutes. For example, in case of a male who weighs 60 to 80s kg, the weight loss of 0.5 to 0.8 kg in total (amount to be 500 to 800 ml of sweating) is measured. Further, when a sweating amount is insufficient, the user can also be subject to the second ineffective sweating and the second rest.
Specifically, as shown in
In this way, when the dialysis patients are not subject to the dialysis treatment for two days (Saturday and Sunday), the low temperature nano-mist sweating for 1,050 ml is promoted for two days (Saturday and Sunday) so that it is possible to effectively prevent the dialysis patients from being reduced to the overhydrated state involving the risk of suffering from the congestive heart failure.
The apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 operating as above provides the following working effects.
In other words, the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention can control the air heater 43 which is the air heating means and the mist generator 1 so that the dew-point temperature td determined by the dew-point temperature determination unit 61c is kept higher than the body temperature of the user so as to keep the dew-point temperature in the sweating room 2 to be a little higher than the body temperature, resulting in promoting the ineffective sweating with the low physical burden on the user.
Therefore, the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100 is capable of promoting the comfortable ineffective sweating even for physically weak people such as the dialysis patients so as to prevent them from becoming the overhydrated state by regulating preferably the water amount in the body.
Though the embodiment of the present invention has been described as above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, but can be varied appropriately to be performed. In the present embodiment, for example, the user is caused to take a bath before the low temperature nano-mist sweating by the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100, however not limited to this, the present embodiment may include only the low temperature nano-mist sweating by the apparatus for promoting ineffective sweating 100.
Further, in the present embodiment, the air heater 43 is used for heating the air in the sweating room 2, however not limited to this, the air heater 43 can be used for drying after an end of the operation and also can be used as the air heating unit for controlling the room temperature in the sweating room 2 indirectly based on a mist temperature at which the heater 9 heats the stored water in the water storage unit 6.
