DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0012] In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a barrel sauna according to the present invention, for example made of wood.
[0013] As shown in Figs. 2 to 4, the barrel sauna 1 has a cylindrical main body 2 that resembles a large barrel laid on its side.
[0014] The periphery of the main body 2 is supported by a plurality of stands 3, and an entrance 4 is provided at the front end, as shown in FIG.
[0015] 6, a rear wall 5 is provided at the rear end of the main body 2, and a smoke exhaust pipe 6 is led out from the rear wall 5. This smoke exhaust pipe 6 is provided when the heat source 23 described below is a wood stove, and is not provided when the heat source 23 is an electric stove.
[0016] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, the main body 2 has a plurality of ring-shaped frameworks 7 made of strong material such as softwood plywood.
[0017] A cylindrical inner wall 8 is disposed inside the framework 7 , and a cylindrical outer wall 9 is disposed outside the framework 7 .
[0018] That is, the framework 7 is sandwiched between the inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9, and a gap (space) is formed between the inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9.
[0019] The inner wall 8 is formed by joining many wooden boards 10 together and nailing them to the framework 7, and is capable of absorbing thermal expansion and maintaining airtightness, and furthermore, when the wooden boards 10 dry and shrink, gaps are not easily noticeable.
[0020] The exterior wall 9 is formed by stacking a number of cedar boards 11 one after another and nailing them to the framework 7.
[0021] A sheet called a moisture-proof waterproof sheet is stretched between this exterior wall 9 and the insulation material 13 (described later), which prevents rainwater from entering from the outside while allowing condensation water to escape from the inside.
[0022] Incidentally, several plate members 11 at the top of the exterior wall 9 are firmly joined together.
[0023] A water dripping material 11 is provided midway through the exterior wall 9 so as to protrude from the exterior wall 9.
[0024] Furthermore, in the gap between the inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, a thick non-combustible insulating material 13, for example, in a fibrous form and having a thickness of 120 mm, is disposed.
[0025] Furthermore, ring-shaped lid members 14 for closing the gap between the inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9 are provided at the front end and the rear end of the main body 2, respectively.
[0026] Inside the main body 2 formed in this manner, there is provided a first partition wall (partition wall) 16 which forms a sauna room 15 between itself and the rear wall 5, and a second partition wall (partition wall) 18 which forms a changing room 17 between itself and this first partition wall 16.
[0027] The first partition wall 16 is provided with a first door 19, and the second partition wall 18 is provided with a second door 20.
[0028] Further, the rear wall 5, the first partition wall 16 and the second partition wall 18 are configured such that a heat insulating material 22 similar to the heat insulating material 13 is sandwiched between a plurality of joined plate members 21.
[0029] The outside of the rear wall 5 is formed by stacking plate materials 21 in sequence, making it difficult for rainwater to enter.
[0030] As also shown in Figures 10 and 11, the sauna room 15 is provided with a heat source 23 and chairs 24.
[0031] Furthermore, as shown in Figures 12 and 13, chairs 25 are also provided in the changing room 17.
[0032] Furthermore, a waiting room 26 is formed between the second partition wall 18 and the entrance / exit 4 .
[0033] In addition, the sauna room 15, the changing room 17 and the waiting room 26 are provided with a floor 28.
[0034] When forming the main body 2 having such a structure, first, a plurality of ring-shaped frameworks 7 are formed.
[0035] Next, a cylindrical inner wall 8 is provided inside the framework 7 .
[0036] Next, a cylindrical outer wall 9 is disposed on the outside of the framework 7, while a heat insulating material 13 is disposed between the inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9.
[0037] According to the above-mentioned configuration, the main body 2 of the barrel sauna 1 has a triple structure in which the insulating material 13 is sandwiched between the inner wall 8 and the outer wall 9, thereby providing excellent thermal insulation.
[0038] The disclosure regarding the present invention described above can be summarized at least as follows.
[0039] In other words, the barrel sauna of the present invention is characterized by comprising a plurality of ring-shaped frameworks, a cylindrical inner wall arranged inside the framework, a cylindrical outer wall arranged outside the framework, and insulation material arranged in the gap between the inner wall and the outer wall.
[0040] In addition, the manufacturing method for a barrel sauna according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a first step of forming multiple ring-shaped frameworks, a second step of arranging a cylindrical inner wall inside the framework, and a third step of arranging a cylindrical outer wall outside the framework while arranging insulation material between the inner wall and the outer wall.
[0041] The present invention can include at least the following embodiments, which can be adopted separately or in combination with each other.
[0042] (1) The interior walls are formed by joining boards with tongue and groove joints.
[0043] (2) Furthermore, a partition wall is provided to separate the inside of the inner wall, and this partition wall is constructed by sandwiching insulating material between boards. [Explanation of symbols]
