Description

[Technical field]

[0001] This invention relates to a medical tourism system in which people use radium bath facilities for long periods of time, spanning multiple days, with the aim of improving their own health. [Background technology]

[0002] In Japan, a practice known as touji, in which people stay at hot springs for an extended period to cure illnesses and improve their physical condition, is widespread. Originally, touji was not a short day or a few days trip to a hot spring, but rather involved spending a week, several weeks, or even a month or more at a hot spring to refresh both body and mind. Hot springs contain a variety of ingredients and have a wide range of beneficial properties, and the power of these hot springs is used to treat both the body and mind, and is often used to improve atopic dermatitis, rheumatism, hernias, and other conditions, relieve pain, and treat skin diseases.

[0003] In recent years, as a form of inbound tourism called medical tourism (registered trademark of Fortune Co., Ltd.), people have started to visit countries with higher medical standards than their own country to receive treatment and checkups. In this medical tourism (registered trademark), a companion often stays with the person and tours the surrounding area after treatment or examination, which is why it is called medical tourism. Countries like Japan, where the health insurance system is well established and anyone can receive advanced medical care regardless of income, are extremely rare in the world, and many people in countries where the medical standard is generally low and advanced medical care can only be received at specific hospitals that are expensive, seek medical care abroad. In Japan, medical tourism is also listed as one of the tourism policies and forms of inbound promotion measures, and in 2011, medical stay visas (medical visas) were issued, which allow people to stay for up to six months and enter the country as many times as they like within three years.

[0004] In this way, medical tourism (registered trademark) is seen as a form of inbound tourism, and Japanese people have been thought to take advantage of the traditional hot spring therapy. However, hot spring therapy generally requires self-catering. In recent years, as inbound tourism has become more popular, Japanese people have become aware of medical tourism (registered trademark), and there is a growing movement to take advantage of medical tourism (registered trademark) sites that offer accommodation and hospital facilities.

[0015] Furthermore, according to claim 4, the medical tourism system of the present invention is characterized in that the radium hot spring facility further comprises a sauna room attached to the hot spring bath, and a second release means for releasing the nano mist of radium hot spring water generated in the nano mist generating means into the sauna room.

[0016] By configuring the medical tourism system as described in claim 4 in this manner, when using the sauna room attached to the bathroom, the radium hot spring water that has been turned into a nano-mist by the nano-mist generating means can be inhaled and taken into the body. Combined with taking in the nano-mist of the radium hot spring water in the hot bath room, it is ensured that the body is exposed to extremely small amounts of radiation from the radium hot spring water, making it possible to dramatically increase the internal activation effect.

[0017] Furthermore, according to claim 5, the medical tourism system of the present invention is characterized in that the filtering means is equipped with a backwash type filter member that filters the radium hot spring water flowing in one direction and removes hot spring deposits that have adhered by filtration by flowing the radium hot spring water in the opposite direction to the one direction.

[0018] By configuring the medical tourism system as described in claim 5 in this manner, it is possible to reliably remove hot spring precipitates contained in the radium hot spring water and reliably turn the radium hot spring water into nano mist in the nano mist generating means.

[0019] Furthermore, according to claim 6, the medical tourism system of the present invention is characterized in that the nano mist generating means comprises a rotating body with its lower part submerged in the hot water storage means, and a cylindrical porous body located on the outer periphery of the rotating body, which rotates together with the rotating body and through which the radium hot spring water and air can pass, and which generates nano mist and negative ions by the crushing caused by the scattering of the radium hot spring water due to the rotation of the rotating body and the porous body.

[0020] By configuring the medical tourism system as described in claim 6 in this manner, the nanomist generating means can reliably convert the radium hot spring water supplied thereto into nanomist.

[0021] Furthermore, according to claim 7, the medical tourism system of the present invention is characterized in that the radium hot spring water is made into a mist having a particle size of nanometers (nm).

[0022] By configuring the medical tourism system as described in claim 7 in this way, when it is taken into the body, it is possible to reliably achieve the internal activation effect of exposing the body to extremely small amounts of radiation from the radium hot spring water.

[0023] Furthermore, according to claim 8, the medical tourism system of the present invention is characterized in that the particles of the radium hot spring water are finely divided to 10 to 500 nm.

[0024] By configuring the medical tourism system as described above, more specifically, when the nano-mist radium hot spring water is taken into the body, the body is more reliably exposed to the minute amount of radiation from the radium hot spring water, which results in an invigorating effect on the body.

[0025] Furthermore, according to claim 9, the medical tourism system of the present invention is characterized in that the accommodation facility is equipped with a food service center that provides organic meals, and is configured to allow guests using the radium hot spring bath facility and health checkup center to stay for multiple nights with three meals included.

[Figure 6] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating an outline of the internal configuration of the nano-mist generating device illustrated in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0033] Hereinafter, the configuration of one embodiment of a medical tourism system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. EXAMPLES

[0034] First, as shown in Fig. 1, the medical tourism system 100 of this embodiment is configured to include a radium hot spring source 60 from which radium hot spring water gushes out, a radium hot spring bath facility 62 that uses the radium hot spring water gushes out from this radium hot spring source 60, a lodging facility 64 that accepts guests who use this radium hot spring bath facility 62, and a health checkup center 66 that diagnoses the health of guests who use the radium hot spring facility 62. The radium hot spring bath facility 62 constitutes the core component of this embodiment, and exposure to minute amounts of radiation emitted from the radium hot spring water drawn from the radium hot spring source 60 promotes internal activation and promotes health, the details of which will be described in detail later.

[0035] The medical tourism system 100 also includes a system server 68 which controls the entire system, a hot spring bath server 70 which is communicatively connected to the system server 68 and which manages bathing information in the radium hot spring bath facility 62, specifically, the temperature of the radium hot spring water, the temperature and humidity in the bathing facility 62, and the radium concentration of the radium hot spring water supplied from the radium hot spring source 60, and manages the radium hot spring facility 62 to maintain a specified bathing environment, an accommodation server 72 which is communicatively connected to the system server 68 and records personal information and accommodation history of guests staying at the accommodation facility and transmits them to the system server 68, and detects the temperature and humidity of the accommodation facility 64, for example, and manages the accommodation facility to maintain a specified accommodation environment, and a health checkup server 74 which is communicatively connected to the system server 68 and which checks the health conditions of guests before and after using the radium hot spring bath facility 62 at a health checkup center 66 and transmits the check results to the system server 68 as health information.

[0036] The accommodation facility 64 is also provided with a food service center 76 that provides organic food to guests, and the food service center 76 is configured to allow guests using the radium bath facility 62 and the health checkup center 74 to stay for multiple nights with three meals per night, allowing the guests to stay safe and healthy for a long period of time. The food service center 76 is connected to the accommodation server 72 and is configured to cook and provide organic food tailored to each guest according to recipes created based on the individual health conditions, food preferences, and past accommodation history of the guests staying at the accommodation facility 64 from the accommodation server 72.

[0037] On the other hand, the system server 68 is connected to the above-mentioned hot spring bath server 70, accommodation server 72, and health checkup server 72 so that data can be transmitted between them, and in particular, based on the health information transmitted from the health checkup server 72, it diagnoses the health condition of the guest based on changes in the health condition before and after using the hot spring facilities, and transmits the diagnosis results to the health checkup center 66 and the accommodation server 72 to inform the guest, allowing the guest to realize that their health has been improved through the effects of the radium hot spring bath.

[0038] For this reason, the health checkup center 66 is configured to measure the oxygen consumption in the brain of the guest, statistically compare brain activity from the measured values ​​before and after using the radium hot spring bath facility 62, and evaluate any changes in health condition when using the radium hot spring bath facility based on the difference between the two, as well as to take venous blood from the guest and perform a leukocyte differential test on the taken venous blood, and evaluate any changes in health condition when using the radium hot spring bath facility 62 based on visual changes before and after using the sauna room of the radium hot spring bath facility 62, which will be described later.

[0039] In the medical tourism system 100 configured as described above, the most important (i.e., core) component in this embodiment is the radium hot spring bath facility 62, and this radium hot spring bath facility 62 will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 2 to 6.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2, this radium hot spring facility 62 is configured to promote health by bathing in radium hot spring water that springs from a radium hot spring source 60 and emits extremely small amounts of radiation. In this embodiment, the facility is equipped with a radium hot spring water storage tank 102 as a hot water storage means for temporarily storing the radium hot spring water that springs from the radium hot spring source 60, and a pump 108 and hot water supply line 110 for supplying the radium hot spring water stored in the radium hot spring water storage tank 102 to a bathtub 106 in a hot bath room 104.

[0041] Furthermore, this radium hot spring facility 62 is equipped with a filtration device 112 as a filtering means for filtering hot spring deposits such as hot spring deposits contained in the radium hot spring water stored in the hot water storage tank 102, a nano-mist generating device 114 as a nano-mist generating means for receiving the radium hot spring water filtered by this filtration device 112 and turning it into nano-mist, and a first discharge pipe 116 as a first discharge means for discharging the nano-mist of radium hot spring water generated by this nano-mist generating device 114 into the hot bath room 104. The configuration of the filtration device 112 will be described later with reference to Figures 2 to 4, and the configuration of the nano-mist generating device 114 will be described in detail later with reference to Figures 5 and 6.

[0042] By configuring the radium hot spring bath facility 62 in this manner, when entering the hot spring bath 104, the radium hot spring water that has been turned into a nano-mist by the nano-mist generating device 114 can be inhaled and taken into the body, ensuring that the body is exposed to extremely small amounts of radiation from the radium hot spring water, making it possible to dramatically increase the activation effect in the body.

[0043] Here, radium hot spring water is pumped up from the radium hot spring water storage tank 102 via the pump 108 and supplied to the bathtub 106. A person entering the hot bath room 104 can inhale the nano-mist of radium hot spring water released from the first release pipe 116, and can take it into the body, thereby exposing the body to extremely small amounts of radiation from radium. At the same time, by soaking in the bathtub 106, the person can be exposed to external radiation from radium from the radium hot spring water stored in the bathtub 106, thereby activating the body.

[0044] Furthermore, a sauna room 118 is provided adjacent to the hot bath room 104, and the sauna room 118 is also configured so that the nano-mist of radium hot spring water generated by the nano-mist generator 114 is supplied to the sauna room 118 via a second discharge pipe 120 as a second discharge means. In this way, in this radium hot spring system 100, when entering the sauna room 118 to raise body temperature and increase the internal activation effect, the nano-mist of radium hot spring water discharged from the second discharge pipe 120 is inhaled and taken into the body, allowing the body to be exposed to extremely small amounts of radiation from radium, which, combined with the sauna effect, can dramatically increase the internal activation effect.

[0045] Next, the above-mentioned filtration device 112 is equipped with a filter section 126 having first and second input / output ports 122, 124. When hot spring water is supplied to the first input / output port 122, this filter section 126 filters out hot spring deposits such as hot spring deposits contained in the radium hot spring water and discharges the filtered hot spring water free of hot spring deposits from the second input / output port 124. When hot spring water is supplied to the second input / output port 124, the internal filter is cleaned (washed) by the radium hot spring water to remove the hot spring deposits adhering to the filter, and the hot spring water contaminated with the hot spring deposits removed from the filter is discharged from the first input / output port 122, thus forming a so-called backwash type filter structure.

[0046] On the other hand, the filtration device 112 includes the above-mentioned hot water supply line 110 and a first branch line 128, one end of which is connected downstream of the pump 108 and the other end of which is connected to the first port 122. A changeover valve 130 is interposed in the first branch line 128, which switches so as to selectively supply radium hot spring water to the first or second input / output port 122, 124 to the filter section 126. The changeover valve 130 includes first and second changeover ports 132, 134 for selectively supplying the radium hot spring water supplied from the pump 108 to one of the supply destinations.

[0047] Specifically, the first switching port 132 is connected to the first input / output port 122 via a first branch line 128, and a first on-off valve 136 is provided in the first branch line 128 between the first switching port 132 and the first input / output port 122. On the other hand, the second switching port 134 is connected to the second input / output port 124 via a second branch line 138, and a second on-off valve 140 is provided in this second branch line 138.

[0048] The second branch line 138 is connected between the second input / output port 124 and the second on-off valve 140 and the nano mist generator 114 described above by a third branch line 142, and a third on-off valve 144 is provided in the third branch line 142. A waste line 146 is connected between the first on-off valve 136 of the first branch line 128 and the first input / output port 122 in the filter section 126 to dispose of hot spring water contaminated with hot spring deposits removed from the filter, and the end of the waste line 146 is connected to a waste tank (not shown) for storing waste water. A fourth on-off valve 148 is provided in the waste line 146.

[0049] The filtering operation of the filtering device 112 configured as above will be described with reference to FIG. 3, and the cleaning operation with reference to FIG.

[0050] First, when the filtration mode is set in the filtration device 112, as shown in Fig. 3, the first switching port 132 in the switching valve 130 is opened and the second switching port 134 is closed, and the radium hot spring water brought from the pump 108 through the hot water supply line 110 is set to be output only from the first switching port 132, and the first and third opening and closing valves 136, 144 are opened and the second and fourth opening and closing valves 140, 148 are closed. As a result, by driving the pump 108, the radium hot spring water stored in the radium hot spring water storage tank 102 is brought to the filter section 126 through the first branch line 128 and the first input / output port 122, where it is filtered to remove hot spring deposits, and is brought to the nano mist generator 114 through the third branch line 142 in a clean state. The nano-mist generating device 114 converts the air into nano-mist, which is then discharged into the hot tub 104 and sauna room 118 via first and second discharge pipes 116, 120.

[0051] On the other hand, if the above filtering operation continues, the filtered hot spring deposits will accumulate on the filter in the filter unit 126, causing clogging and reducing the filtering efficiency. When such an event occurs (or when a sign of such an event appears), the operation mode is switched from the filtering mode to the cleaning mode. When this cleaning mode is set, as shown in Fig. 3, first, the first switching port 132 of the switching valve 130 is closed and the second switching port 134 is opened, and the radium hot spring water brought from the pump 108 through the hot water supply line 110 is set to be output only from the second switching port 134, and the four on-off valves are set so that the first and third on-off valves 136, 144 are closed and the second and fourth on-off valves 140, 148 are open. As a result, by driving the pump 108, the radium hot spring water stored in the radium hot spring water storage tank 102 is brought to the filter section 126 through the second input / output port 124 via the second branch line 138, where the filter that has become dirty due to the previous filtering operation is cleaned (purified). The hot spring precipitates removed from the filter by the cleaning operation are taken out as dirty hot spring water together with the radium hot spring water through the first input / output port 122, and are discarded into a waste tank (not shown) through the waste line 146. While this cleaning mode is being executed, the radium hot spring water is not supplied to the nano mist generating device 114, so the radium hot spring water is not turned into nano mist here.

[0052] By executing the above cleaning mode, cleaning of the filter of the filter section 126 is completed, and when the filter function is restored, the filtration mode is set again, and as shown again in FIG. 2, the filtration operation is resumed, and the filtered radium hot spring water is brought to the nano mist generating device 114, where it is converted into nano mist and released into the hot bath room 104 and sauna room 118.

[0053] Next, the configuration and operation of the nano-mist generating device 114 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0054] The nano-mist generating device 114 shown in Fig. 5 is a device for turning the radium hot spring water delivered from the filtration device 112 into nano-mist. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing a schematic internal configuration of the nano-mist generating device 114. As shown in FIG. 6, the nano mist generating device 114 includes a water supply tank T1 that receives the radium hot spring water delivered from the filtration device 112 via the third branch line 142, a water storage tank 3 that stores the radium hot spring water received in the water supply tank T1 to be converted into nano mist, a water crushing means 4 that converts the water stored in the water storage tank 3 into fine water droplets converted into nano mist, a blower B that draws in indoor air and sends it to the water crushing means 4, a gas-liquid separation section 5 that separates the fine water droplets generated by the water crushing means 4 into gas and liquid, and a blower B that releases the fine water droplets to the outside from the first and second outlets 2a, 2b of the device main body 2, but the type, structure, and humidification method of the nano mist generating device 114 and the shape of the device main body 2 are not particularly limited.

[0055] The above-mentioned first outlet 2a is connected to the above-mentioned first discharge pipe 116 and is configured to discharge the nano-misted radium hot spring water sprayed from here into the hot bath room 104, and the second outlet 2b is connected to the above-mentioned second discharge pipe 120 and is configured to discharge the nano-misted radium hot spring water sprayed from here into the sauna room 118.

[0056] The nano-mist generating device 114 has a function as a negative ion generator that generates negative ions while generating nano-mist, and a cleaning function that drains, disinfects, and dries the water supply tank T1 when the water has run out. The nano-mist generating device 114 has a humidification capacity of 1800 mL / h per hour, for example, by humidifying radium hot spring water by turning it into nano-mist, and is suitable for a floor area of ​​82 m. 2 It can be used continuously for 8 hours at maximum humidification level, and can operate for up to 16 hours.

[0061] <Water tank> As shown in FIG. 6, the water supply tank T1 is a tank for storing radium hot spring water that is brought from the filtration device 112 through the third branch line 142 and is to be supplied to the water tank 3. The water supply tank T1 is made of a resin container such as a plastic tank, and is installed on the middle base 22 in the device main body 2. On the upper surface of the water supply tank T1, there are formed a water supply port T1a for supplying water with a plastic mug or the like, a water intake opening of a water supply path Pa for sending water to the water tank 3, a drain opening of an overflow path Pb for returning water that has been supplied to a predetermined position or higher of the water tank 3, and a water supply and drainage port T1b in which a drainage opening of a drain pan drain hose 27a provided in the drain pan 27 is disposed. The capacity of the drainage tank T2 is set to, for example, about 20 L.

[0062] <Medium base> As shown in Fig. 6, the middle base 22 is made of a metal plate member on which the drain pan 27 and the blower B are mounted. The middle base 22 is installed horizontally at a lower position inside the device body 2, and divides the inside of the device body 2 into an accommodation chamber 1a in which the water supply tank T1 is accommodated, a blower accommodation chamber 1b, and a water crushing means air supply passage 1c. The drain pan 27 is a substantially dish-shaped member for receiving water droplets that fall from above.

[0063] <Blower> The blower B is a blower motor device for sucking indoor air from the suction port 12a through the filter F and sending it to the water crushing means 4, and sending the air containing the nanomist and negative ions generated by the water crushing means 4 to the outside from the outlet 2a of the device main body 2. The type and shape of the blower B are not particularly limited. The blower B is made of, for example, a sirocco fan having a substantially cylindrical guide tube. The blower housing chamber 1b is provided with an air purifying filter F and the blower B. Above the blower B, a water crushing means mounting base 23 is provided, which separates the blower housing chamber 1b from the water crushing means housing section 1d. A partition plate 24 is disposed on the upper side of the blower B, and this partition plate 24, the outer panel of the device body 2, the upper base 26, and the outer peripheral surface of the water tank 3 form the water crushing means air supply passage 1c. The water crushing means mounting base 23 is horizontally installed inside the device body 2 from the top of the front middle panel 12. The partition plate 24 is connected to the end of the water crushing means mounting base 23 inside the device body 2 in a downward hanging state.

[0064] In the air supply line 1c of the water crushing means, there are arranged a water supply line Pa for supplying the radium hot spring water in the water supply tank T1 to the water tank 3, an overflow line Pb for returning the overflowed radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 to the water supply tank T1, and a drainage line Pc for sending the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 to a drainage tank (not shown) provided outside the device. In the water supply line Pa, there is provided a pump P for sucking up the water in the water supply tank T1 and a flow sensor C (not shown) for measuring the flow rate of the water. In the drainage line Pc, there is provided a drainage valve V consisting of a two-way valve for opening and closing the drainage line Pc.

[0065] As shown in Figure 6, the drain valve V is a valve that is set to a normally closed state to prevent the drainage of residual water in the water tank 3, and is set to open at the end of operation, etc., so that the residual water in the water tank 3 flows into the drain tank (not shown).

[0066] <Water crushing method> The water crushing means 4 is a nano-mist generating means, and is composed of a device that crushes the radium hot spring water stored in the water tank 3 to generate nano-mist and negative ions. The water crushing means 4 is composed of a water tank 3 for storing radium hot spring water, a motor mounting base 25 for closing the opening of the water tank 3, a hot water heater H arranged in the water tank 3, a rotor 41 arranged so that the tip is immersed in the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 during operation, a porous body 42 arranged around the upper part of the rotor 41, a mist motor 43 for rotating the rotor 41, a motor shaft 44, a partition 45 hanging down from the motor mounting base 25, a nano-mist negative ion sending flow path 1e formed by the partition 45 and the inner wall of the water tank 3, a thermostat S2, a water temperature sensor S3, a safety thermistor S4, and two types of water level detection sensors S5 and S6.

[0067] The water tank 3 is a tank that stores a preset water level of radium hot spring water supplied from the water tank T1 through the water supply line Pa by the pump P. The water tank 3 is divided into two parts by a partition 45 that hangs down from the motor mounting base 25 that closes the opening of the water tank 3 to above the water surface in the water tank 3: a treatment chamber 3b where air is humidified, deodorized, disinfected, purified, and heated, and a nano-mist negative ion delivery flow path 1e from which the humidified air in the treatment chamber 3b is delivered.

[0068] The motor mounting base 25 is a plate member for mounting the mist motor 43 on the opening of the water tank 3. The motor mounting base 25 is formed with a shaft insertion hole into which the motor shaft 44 of the mounted mist motor 43 is rotatably inserted, and an air inlet 3a into which air sent from the blower B flows in. The hot water heater H is a heating device that heats the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 and keeps it at a preset hot water temperature in order to turn the air discharged from the outlet 2a into hot air at a temperature slightly higher than the room temperature. The hot water heater H maintains the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 at a predetermined temperature by being turned ON / OFF according to the temperature detected by the water temperature sensor S3 that detects the temperature of the radium hot spring water stored in the water tank 3.

[0069] As shown in Fig. 6, the rotor 41 is a cylindrical member in an inverted cone shape formed so that the diameter gradually increases toward the top, and a large number of scattering ports (not shown) are formed around the entire upper circumference. The rotor 41 is provided with a motor shaft 44 extending upward from the center of the upper surface, and is driven to rotate by a mist motor 43. The rotating rotor 41 is configured to suck up the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 by centrifugal force so that it moves upward along the outer and inner walls of the rotor 41, scattering the radium hot spring water from the upper outer wall of the rotor 41 to the surroundings, and to scatter the radium hot spring water pushed up to the top of the inner wall to the surroundings from the scattering ports (not shown).

[0070] The porous body 42 is a cylindrical member that is attached to the upper outer periphery of the rotor 41 at a predetermined interval and rotates together with the rotor 41, and has a porous portion 42a made of a large number of holes. The porous body 42 is, for example, a cylinder having a large number of slits on the entire circumferential wall, a cylindrical punching metal, or a cylindrical wire mesh. The porous body 42 is also a collision body that is provided so that the radium hot spring water scattered in the outer periphery direction by the centrifugal force of the rotor 41 collides with the porous body 42 when rotated by the mist motor 43. The porous body 42 crushes the radium hot spring water that collides with the inner wall surface, or passes through the porous portion 42a to scatter the radium hot spring water and air from the outer periphery surface, thereby finely dispersing the particles of the radium hot spring water to generate nano mist, and also generates negative ions by the Leonard effect caused by finely dispersing the water particles to a molecular level of 10 to 500 nm.

[0071] The mist motor 43 is a power source for rotating the rotor 41 and the porous body 42. The motor shaft 44 of the mist motor 43 is connected to the rotor 41 and the porous body 42. The partition 45 is a partition member that divides the rotor 41 and the porous body 42, which are disposed above the surface of the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3, into a processing chamber 3b in which nanomist is generated by them, and a nanomist negative ion delivery flow path 1e from which the nanomist is delivered.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 6, the nano-mist negative ion sending flow path 1e is a flow passage for discharging the nano-mist and negative ions generated in the processing chamber 3b from the blower 2a through the gas-liquid separator 5 by driving the blower B. The nano-mist negative ion sending flow path 1e is formed by the inner wall of the water tank 3 and a partition 45, and communicates with the blower 2a through an upper air passage 50. The thermostat S2 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 3 and cuts off the power supply to prevent the hot water heater H from running dry. The water temperature sensor S3 is a sensor that detects the temperature of the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 and controls the hot water heater H as described above.

[0073] The safety thermistor S4 is a sensor that generates a sound to warn when the temperature in the treatment chamber 3b exceeds a preset temperature, and drives the blower B to cool the water tank 3 by blowing air. The lower water level detection sensor S5 is a float sensor that detects the water level of the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 and turns off the hot water heater H before the hot water heater H is exposed from the radium hot spring water. The upper water level detection sensor S6 is a float sensor that detects the water level in the water tank 3 and controls the operation of the pump P. The upper base 26 is a member that divides the water crushing means air supply path 1c for sending air from the blower B to the water crushing means 4, and the upper space 1f of the device main body 2 in which the operation unit 18 and the like are installed.

[0074] <Gas-liquid separation section> The gas-liquid separation section 5 is a section for removing relatively large water droplets from the fine water droplets generated by the water crushing means 4. The gas-liquid separation section 5 is configured with an air passage 50 connected to the upper part of the nano mist negative ion delivery flow path 1e, a water droplet collision plate 51 protruding from the inner wall of the air passage 50 to form a meandering flow path in the air passage 50, and a blower thermistor S7. The air passage 50 is connected at its lower end to the nano mist negative ion delivery flow path 1e and at its upper end to the louver 19, and is extended in the vertical direction.

[0075] The water droplet collision plate 51 is a plate-like member for causing excessively large water droplets in the air to collide with it and drop the droplets back into the water tank 3, and has a base end joined to the inner wall of the air passage 50. The air blower thermistor S7 is a sensor provided in the gas-liquid separation unit 5 that turns the hot water heater H ON / OFF to achieve a set humidification level.

[0076] [Action of nano mist generator 114] Next, the operation of the nano-mist generating device 114 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to the respective drawings.

[0077] First, as a preparation step before operating the nano mist generator 114 shown in FIG. 5, the third on-off valve 144 is opened to perform a water supply step of supplying radium hot spring water from the third branch line 142 to the water supply tank T1. Next, the operation switch of the operation unit 18 is turned on. Then, the pump P shown in FIG. 5 is operated to send the radium hot spring water in the water supply tank T1 into the water tank 3 through the water supply line Pa. When a predetermined amount of water is supplied, the lower water level detection sensor S5 detects the water level of the predetermined amount of water, stops the pump P, and turns on the hot water heater H. Then, when the water temperature of the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 reaches a predetermined temperature, the water temperature sensor S3 detects it, turns off the hot water heater H via the control circuit, and drives the blower B, the mist motor 43, and the louver drive motor 19a.

[0078] The blower B sucks in indoor air through the suction port 12a and the filter F, and sends it back into the room from the outlet 2a through the water crushing means air supply passage 1c, the air inlet 3a, the treatment chamber 3b of the water tank 3, the nano mist negative ion delivery passage 1e, and the gas-liquid separation section 5. At this time, the louver 19 is open. Meanwhile, the rotor 41 rotates by the drive of the mist motor 43, and sucks up the radium hot spring water stored in the water tank 3 heated to a predetermined temperature so that it rises along the outer and inner walls by the centrifugal force of the rotation, and scatters it from the upper scattering port (not shown) toward the porous body 42 on the outer periphery. The scattered radium hot spring water collides with the porous portion 42a of the porous body 42 on the upper outer periphery of the rotor 41 and is crushed, or passes through the porous portion 42a and collides with the inner wall and partition 45 of the water tank 3 and is crushed, thereby being finely divided and generated into nano mist. At the same time, negative ions are generated by the Lennard effect.

[0079] When the air sent from the air inlet 3a of the water tank 3 into the treatment chamber 3b by the blower B passes through the nano-mist generated from the porous body 42 in a shower-like shape by centrifugal force, dust particles and pollen that are the source of odors in the air are shaken off onto the water surface in the water tank 3 and stored in a state where they are dissolved in the radium hot spring water. Also, when the nano-mist and negative ions flow downward in the treatment chamber 3b and enter the nano-mist negative ion sending flow path 1e, the large and heavy nano-mist falls onto the water surface in the water tank 3 and is removed. After that, only the fine nano-mist and the negative ions are sent to the gas-liquid separation section 5 at the top through the nano-mist negative ion sending flow path 1e. In the gas-liquid separation section 5, the remaining large and heavy nano-mist collides with the water droplet collision plate 51 and adheres to the water droplet collision plate 51, and when the attached water droplets combine and become enlarged, they fall onto the water surface in the water tank 3 under their own weight and are stored.

[0080] The nanomist that passes through the gas-liquid separation section 5 is heated to an appropriate temperature and becomes only particles containing warm, finely divided negative ions, which are then released by the louvers 19 from the first and second outlets 2a, 2b into the hot tub 104 and sauna room 118.

[0081] The nano-mist and negative ions discharged from the first and second air outlets 2a, 2b reach every corner of the air in the hot bath room 104 and sauna room 118, are taken into the body by people in the room through breathing, and cause the body to be exposed to extremely small amounts of radiation, promoting internal activation while suppressing dirty air and bacteria and even breaking down odors, resulting in deodorizing, dust-removing, sterilizing, humidifying and air-purifying effects. The air discharged from the first and second air outlets 2a, 2b is smooth and moist air containing fine nano-mist with large nano-mist removed.

[0082] The amount of heated radium hot spring water stored in the water tank 3 decreases because it is released as nano-mist by the water crushing means 4. When the water level of the radium hot spring water in the water tank 3 drops, the upper water level detection sensor S6 detects the water level and drives the pump P, so that the radium hot spring water is automatically replenished from the tank T1 to the water tank 3 to make up for the lowered water level. Therefore, an appropriate amount of water heated to an appropriate temperature by the hot water heater H is stored in the water tank 3.

[0083] When the operation of the nano mist generator 114 is finished, the drain valve V is opened to drain the remaining water in the water tank 3.

[0084] In order to prevent the growth of germs and the like, the remaining water in the drainage tank is drained after use of the nano mist generator 114. For this reason, the nano mist generator 114 drains the remaining water in the water tank 3 every time it finishes operating. This completes the drainage of the remaining water in the nano mist generator 114, and completes the series of operations of the nano mist generator 114.

[0085] [Operation at Radium Bath Facility 62] As described above in detail, by constructing the radium hot spring bath facility 62 in this way, 1. A very small amount of radiation from radium absorbed through the skin by immersing oneself in the bathtub 106 filled with radium hot spring water from the hot bath room 104 supplied through the hot water supply line 110. 2-1. The extremely small amount of radiation from radium that is taken into the body and absorbed through the lungs by inhaling the nano-mist of radium hot spring water discharged from the nano-mist generating device 114 through the first discharge pipe 118 into the hot spring bath 104, and 2-2 By inhaling the nano-mist of radium hot spring water discharged from the nano-mist generating device 114 through the second discharge pipe 120 into the sauna room 118, extremely small amounts of radiation from radium are taken into the body and absorbed through the lungs. When it enters the bloodstream, its powerful ionizing effect first works to metabolize waste products in the blood and body tissues, quickly changing the body into a healthy, alkaline constitution.

[0086] The biggest reason is that the nano-level ultra-fine radium mist inhaled in the hot bath room 104 or sauna room 118 transfers from germ cells to the blood, making it possible to bring an acidic constitution closer to a normal alkaline constitution, and the blood flows smoothly with less waste products such as neutral fat, cholesterol, and excess sugar that impair blood flow and age blood vessels, improving peripheral blood flow and reducing blood flow disorders, which in turn reduces substances that cause stiffness and pain that have accumulated in muscles, etc., and dramatically increasing the effect of revitalizing the body.

[0087] [Variations] This invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications and changes are possible within the scope of the technical concept, and the present invention naturally covers such modifications and changes. For example, the structure of the filtration device is not limited to the configuration of the above-mentioned embodiment, and anything that can remove hot spring deposits from radium hot spring water is acceptable, and it goes without saying that a hollow fiber type filtration device, for example, can be used. [Industrial Applicability]

[0088] As described above in detail, the medical tourism system of the present invention seeks to promote health by revitalizing the body through exposure to extremely small amounts of radiation from the radium contained in radium hot spring water, a concept that has not been taken into consideration in medical tourism systems until now. In particular, the health state resulting from this promotion can be specifically measured and the fact that health has been promoted can be recognized, which will make guests more motivated to use this medical tourism, greatly improving its usability and making its industrial applicability immeasurable.
