Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a medicinal material steaming and fumigating device. More specifically, the steam generated inside the steam generation chamber undergoes a reverse circulation process again so that the steam with excessive pressure and heat is not directly transmitted to the user side through the steaming chamber, and the steam can be indirectly transmitted and supplied to the user side. The present invention relates to a medicinal material steaming and fumigating device.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the heating devices and fumigating devices used for foot baths, sitz baths, and partial baths have an open top or are in the form of a container of a certain size. Therefore, ensuring the installation area must be prioritized, so there is no choice but to be particular about the location, which may bring an economic burden due to installation. In addition, since the upper part is open and the steam from fumigation does not accumulate in a shielded space during the process of foot bath, sitz bath, and partial bath by the heating of wet steam, external losses are caused, so the high-temperature steam is likely to cool down, and the fumigation efficiency is reduced.

[0003] In particular, the upward discharge type in which steam passes from the lower part to the upper part of the steaming chamber containing the medicinal materials, and the residue and medicinal material concentrate generated during the steaming process of the medicinal materials easily adhere to the inner wall of the discharge pipe and accumulate and adhere, resulting in a clogging phenomenon, so there are the inconveniences and troubles in use that the discharge pipe must be frequently cleaned. In addition, bubbles are generated during the steaming process of the medicinal materials in the steaming chamber, and these bubbles adhere and accumulate on the pipe of the heater while flowing into the steam generation chamber, reducing the thermal efficiency, breaking the insulation, causing electric leakage, and corroding the pipe of the heater.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the inventor of the present application has proposed the "Downward Discharge Type Medicinal Material Steaming Steam Gown Type Fumigator" of Patent Application No. 10-2021-0068124 (May 27, 2021). As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, its configuration includes a steam generation chamber 1 that heats the water supplied from the water supply section 2 inside the fumigator main body F to generate steam. The steam generated in the steam generation chamber 1 is supplied to the steaming chamber 3 while steaming the medicinal material 100 inside the steaming chamber 3. The steaming steam passing through the medicinal material 100 is supplied into the gown 5 worn by the user through the detachable steam transfer pipe 8, so that fumigation can be performed.

[0005] On the other hand, in such a conventional downward discharge type medicinal material steaming steam gown type fumigator, since the high-temperature steam inside the steam generation chamber is directly transmitted to the user side through the steaming chamber, a safety device for the safety of the user and maintaining an appropriate temperature for fumigation is always required. As a normal safety device, temperature control using a temperature sensing sensor is performed. However, when an error or failure of the safety device suddenly occurs, the high-temperature steam is directly transmitted to the user without any control, which may bring fatal results to safety.

[0006] On the other hand, as a means to slightly reduce the temperature of the steaming steam transmitted to the user side through the steam transfer pipe in the steaming chamber, the steam transfer pipe can be lengthened. In this case, however, it brings complexity and inconvenience in use depending on the length of the steam transfer pipe. In addition, fumigation must be usable not only for the body but also for facial massage. However, the conventional fumigator has the problem that it cannot be used at all for facial massage due to high-temperature heat.

[0007] And in the fumigator of the inventor of the present application, the heater is installed by piercing the outer wall of the steam generation chamber in contact with water. At this time, when shrinkage occurs due to repeated heating and stopping of the heater, there is also a problem that a gap is generated between the outer wall hole of the steam generation chamber and the heater, which causes water leakage.

[0008] In addition, when the fumigator is not used for a long time, the water remaining inside the steam generation chamber and the steaming chamber may rot, resulting in unsanitary conditions during use. In the case of the steaming chamber, there is also a problem that residues generated during the steaming process of the medicinal materials often clog the steam outlet, leading to insecurity during use.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0010] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the various conventional problems as described above. The purpose is to prevent steam with excessive pressure and heat from being directly transmitted to the user side through the steaming chamber, and to make the steam generated inside the steam generation chamber go through the reverse circulation process again, so as to provide a medicinal material steaming type fumigator in which the steam can be transmitted and supplied to the user side in an indirect manner.

[0011] Another object of the present invention is to provide a medicinal material steaming type fumigator that enables the installation of a heater without leakage even if it is not inevitable to perforate the part in contact with water for installing the heater.

[0012] Another object of the present invention is to provide a medicinal material steaming type fumigator that can prevent corruption caused by water remaining in the steam generation chamber after use of the fumigator, and can prevent the steam outlet of the steaming chamber from being blocked by moisture and residues generated during the steaming process.

[0013] Another object of the present invention is to provide a medicinal material steaming type fumigator that can automatically cut off the power of the device when the steam transfer pipe and the steaming chamber cover are separated and detached from the steaming chamber body.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0014] One form of the medicinal material steaming and fumigating apparatus according to the present invention for achieving the object of the present invention as described above includes a steam generation chamber that heats the water supplied from the water supply unit to generate steam, and a steaming chamber that steams the medicinal material inside while receiving the steam from the steam generation chamber, and the steam that has passed through the medicinal material can be discharged and supplied to the outside. In this case, the steam generation chamber has an opening portion on the upper side, and a shielding film that integrally stands upright on the bottom surface of the chamber and forms the inside of the steam generation chamber in a double-wall structure; a sheathed heater that heats the water supplied into the chamber outside the shielding film; and a steam discharge port that is formed at the bottom inside the shielding film and discharges the steam flowing into the inside of the shielding film to the outside. It is characterized by further including these.

Advantages of the Invention

[0015] As described above, in the present invention, a shielding film is installed inside the steam generation chamber so as to integrally stand upright, and a double-wall form is provided. The steam heated by the heater can be directly transmitted and supplied to the user side in an indirect manner through the reverse circulation process through the shielding film. As a result, even when an error or failure of the safety device suddenly occurs, the safety in use can be ensured, and it is not necessary to lengthen the steam transfer pipe to lower the temperature of the steam. Therefore, the complexity and inconvenience associated with the use of the steam transfer pipe can be eliminated, and it can be used not only for the user's body but also for facial massage purposes, having the effect of further increasing the performance and reliability of the device.

[0016] In addition, the present invention has the effect of surely preventing water leakage caused by perforating a portion that inevitably comes into contact with water for installing the heater in the existing steam generation chamber cover by perforating the steam generation chamber cover that does not come into contact with water and installing the heater inside the steam generation chamber.

[0017] In addition, after the use of the fumigator, the water in the steam generation chamber and the steaming chamber can be immediately discharged to the outside, preventing the corruption caused by the remaining water inside the steam generation chamber and the steaming chamber, and thus having the effect of ensuring the hygiene during use.

[0018] In addition, the present invention attaches a magnet to the steaming chamber cover and is equipped with a magnet sensor at the socket of the steam transfer pipe that is detachably attached to the air supply port of the steaming chamber body of the steaming chamber main body, so that when the steam transfer pipe and the steaming chamber cover are separated and detached from the steaming chamber main body, the power supply of the device can be automatically cut off. As a result, it also has the advantage of preventing fatal safety accidents caused by carelessness during the use of the fumigator.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0020] Advantages, features, and methods for achieving them for each embodiment of the present invention will become clear by referring to the embodiments described in detail below together with the accompanying drawings.

[0021] However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below, and can be embodied in various different forms. However, this embodiment is provided to complete the disclosure of the present invention and to fully inform those with ordinary knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention pertains of the scope of the invention. The present invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. The same reference numerals throughout the specification refer to the same components.

[0022] In describing each embodiment of the present invention, when it is determined that a specific description of a known function or configuration may obscure the gist of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0023] And each term described below is a term defined in consideration of the functions in the embodiments of the present invention, and since this may vary depending on the intentions or conventions of users and operators, etc., it should be defined based on the content throughout this specification.

[0024] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a medicinal material steaming type fumigator according to the present invention will be described in detail.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, the present invention includes a steam generation chamber 1 that heats the water supplied from the water supply unit 2 to generate steam, and a steaming chamber 3 that steams the medicinal materials inside while receiving the steam from the steam generation chamber 1, and allows the steamed steam that has passed through the medicinal materials 100 to be discharged and supplied to the outside.

[0026] In particular, the steam generation chamber 1 has a double-wall form inside by a shielding film 123. After the steam generated in the chamber outside the shielding film 123 moves to the upper side, it passes through the process of flowing back from the upper part to the lower part of the shielding film 123 again. As a result, it is characterized in that the pressure and temperature of the steam can be reduced. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the shielding film 123 is located at the center of the steam generation chamber 1 in an elliptical shape and stands upright integrally on the inner bottom of the steam generation chamber 1 with the upper side open.

[0027] To explain this more specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the steam generation chamber 1 is separately configured into a steam generation chamber main body 12 and a steam generation chamber cover 13. Upper flanges 131 and lower flanges 121 corresponding to each other are integrally formed on the outer contours of the steam generation chamber cover 13 and the steam generation chamber main body 12, respectively, and are flange-coupled. The steam generation chamber main body 12 has an annular packing groove 122 along the inner side of the lower flange 121. Between the steam generation chamber main body 12 and the steam generation chamber cover 13 assembled with each other, it is sealed by an airtight packing 14 inserted into the packing groove 122. Here, the reference numeral 6a is a bimetal overheat prevention sensing sensor, and 131a and 121a are bolt fastening holes A and B.

[0028] Also, as described above, in the steam generation chamber main body 12, a shielding film 123 having an opening 123a on the upper side stands upright integrally on the inner bottom, a steam discharge port 124 is formed at the center of the bottom of the shielding film 123, and a steam inflow path 15 is formed in the gap between the steam generation chamber cover 13 and the shielding film 123, so that the steam of the water heated outside the shielding film 123 can flow into the inside of the shielding film 123 through the upper side opening 123a of the shielding film 123 via the steam inflow path 15. Here, the shielding film 123 is not limited to its form, and any structure that can partition the inside of the steam generation chamber main body 12 in a double-wall form is acceptable.

[0029] And the end of the "U"-shaped sheathed heater 133 passes through the heater through-hole 134 formed in the steam generation chamber cover 13 and is fixed and supported on the steam generation chamber cover 13 by a sheathed heater fixing flange 133a made of rubber material built into the heater through-hole 134. The sheathed heater 133 can generate steam by heating the water stored outside the shielding film 123. Also, the sheathed heater is based on an electric heater, in which an electric heating wire is wound around a metal protection tube (PIPE) at accurate intervals and built in, and has safety against external physical impacts due to high-density filling and compression of MgO (magnesia), and can be bent or processed into various shapes according to the user's application and form.

[0030] The steam generation chamber cover 13 has a wall on the lower side, and an upper flange 131 is integrally formed at the lower end of the wall, and a lower open groove 132 is formed in its internal space. And a steam generation chamber drain port 125 is formed on the lower side of one side of the steam generation chamber main body 12, a steam generation chamber drain pipe 126 is connected to the steam generation chamber drain port 125, and a drain valve 126a is installed on the steam generation chamber drain pipe 126, so that the steam generation chamber drain pipe 126 can be selectively opened and closed according to an electrical operation command signal. This can prevent the corruption caused by the remaining water inside the steam generation chamber 1.

[0031] On one hand, as shown in FIG. 7, the steaming chamber 3 is composed of a steaming chamber main body 30a and a steaming chamber cover 30b which are separated from each other, and a mesh-shaped medicinal material tray 31 provided between the steaming chamber main body 30a and the steaming chamber cover 30b. The steaming chamber main body 30a has a steaming chamber drain opening 33 formed on one side of the bottom, and the bottom is inclined toward the steaming chamber drain opening 33 side by a drainage inclined surface 32. Further, a steaming chamber drain pipe 34 is connected to the steaming chamber drain opening 33, and a steaming chamber drain valve 34a is installed on the steaming chamber drain pipe 34, so that the steaming chamber drain pipe 34 can be selectively opened and closed according to an electrical operation command signal.

[0032] On the inner wall of the steaming chamber main body 30a on the lower side of the mesh-shaped medicinal material tray 31, a steaming chamber air supply port 3a is formed which is connected to the steam generation chamber 1 by a steam transfer pipe 10 and receives steam from the steam generation chamber 1. On the upper side of the steaming chamber cover 30b, a number of steaming chamber exhaust ports 3b are formed in a mesh shape. The medicinal material tray 31 is configured such that a wall is formed on the upper side along the outer contour, and a fixing step 31a is integrally formed on the outside of the upper end of the wall, so that the medicinal material tray 31 can be fixed to the steaming chamber main body 30a by the steaming chamber cover 30b.

[0033] In the present invention configured as described above, first, water is supplied from the water supply unit 2 into the inside of the steam generation chamber main body 12 outside the shielding film 123 through the steam generation chamber drain opening 125. The supplied water is heated by the sheathed heater 133 to generate steam, and the generated steam moves to the upper side and then flows back into the inside of the shielding film 123.

[0034] The steam that has flowed back into the inside of the shielding film 123 is sent to the steaming chamber 3 through the steam exhaust port 124 and the steam transfer pipe 10 connected to the steam exhaust port 124. The steam in the steam transfer pipe 10 is supplied into the inside of the steaming chamber main body 30a through the steam air supply port 3a. The supplied steam passes through the mesh-shaped medicinal material tray 31 and the medicinal material 100 while rising to steam the medicinal material 100. The steamed steam that has passed through the medicinal material 100 is discharged through the mesh-shaped steaming chamber cover 30b by the steaming chamber exhaust port 3b to perform fumigation.

[0035] On the one hand, when the medicinal material 100 is steamed and cooked, the moisture and residues contained in the medicinal material fall from the medicinal material tray 31 and gather or accumulate at the bottom of the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber. At this time, in the present invention, the bottom of the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber is a drainage inclined surface 32, a steaming and cooking chamber drain port 33 is formed at the end side of the drainage inclined surface 32, and a steaming and cooking chamber exhaust port 3b is formed in the upper steaming and cooking chamber cover 30b. Therefore, not only does the phenomenon that the moisture and residues contained in the medicinal material block the steam discharge port not occur at all, but also, by being directly discharged to the outside through the steaming and cooking chamber drain pipe 34, together with the steam generation chamber drain pipe, it becomes possible to prevent the corruption caused by the remaining water.

[0036] As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, the steaming and cooking chamber 3 of the present invention is composed of a main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber and a cover 30b of the steaming and cooking chamber. The main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber includes a steaming and cooking chamber air supply port 3a. On the surface of the cover 30b of the steaming and cooking chamber, a large number of steaming and cooking chamber exhaust ports 3b are formed in a hole form penetrating vertically and horizontally. A steam transfer pipe 10 is connected to the steaming and cooking chamber air supply port 3a. At the end side of the steam transfer pipe 10, sockets 42 for detachably connecting the steam transfer pipe 10 to the steaming and cooking chamber air supply port 3a of the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber are provided together.

[0037] In this way, in the present invention, as a safety device 4, a magnet 41 is provided on the upper steaming and cooking chamber cover 30b of the steaming and cooking chamber air supply port 3a of the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber, and a magnet sensor 43 is provided on the socket 42 of the steam transfer pipe 10. When the magnet 41 and the magnet sensor 43 are close to each other, it is sensed that the cover 30b of the steaming and cooking chamber is normally coupled to the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber, and while maintaining the operation of the fumigator, when the magnet 41 and the magnet sensor 43 are far apart, that is, when the socket 42 of the steam transfer pipe 10 is separated and detached from the steaming and cooking chamber air supply port 3a of the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber, or when the cover 30b of the steaming and cooking chamber is abnormally coupled to the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber, or when the cover 30b of the steaming and cooking chamber is separated and detached from the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber while the main body 30a of the steaming and cooking chamber is falling down, by sensing this and stopping the operation of the device, it becomes possible to safely protect the user from the hot steam in the steaming and cooking chamber 3.

[0038] For this purpose, a sensor installation space 45 having an opening 45a on the rear side is formed above the pipe coupler 44 of the socket 42 into which the steam transfer pipe 10 is inserted and fixed. A PCB 46 is installed such that the magnet sensor 43 contacts the inner surface of the sensor installation space 45 facing the magnet 41. The opening 45a of the sensor installation space 45 is configured to be closed by a cover 47 having hooks 47a on the front sides of both sides. Here, reference numeral 43a denotes a lead wire extending from the PCB 46, and 48 denotes a lead wire extraction hole through which the lead wire 43a is drawn out to the control unit side of the fumigator while being drawn out to the outside of the cover 47.

[0039] Figs. 11 to 13 are diagrams showing another embodiment of the safety device of the present invention. Fig. 11 is a partially enlarged exploded perspective view showing the installation state of the safety device. Fig. 12 is a perspective view showing the (+)(-) electrode portions of Fig. 11. Fig. 13 is a cross-sectional view showing the socket assembly state of the (+)(-) electrode portions of Fig. 12.

[0040] As shown in these drawings, the safety device 4 of the present invention includes an energization piece 51 and (+)(-) electrode portions 52a, 52b as an energization sensor. The energization piece 51 is a metal piece through which electricity can pass and whose length is longer than its width, and is fixed and provided by bolts in the middle of the front surface portion of the steamed chamber cover 30b. The (+)(-) electrode portions 52a, 52b are provided on both sides of the back surface of the socket 42 facing the energization piece 51 and are electrically connected to the control unit. When the socket 42 is connected to the steamed chamber air supply port 3a, the (+)(-) electrode portions 52a, 52b of the socket 42 contact the energization piece 51 of the steamed chamber cover 30b, and when electricity is passed between the (+)(-) electrode portions 52a, 52b, the control unit senses and maintains the normal connection state of the socket 42. When the socket 42 is intentionally or inadvertently separated from the steamed chamber air supply port 3a, or when the steamed chamber cover 30b is detached from the steamed chamber main body 30a, the electricity is interrupted between the (+)(-) electrode portions 52a, 52b. As a result, the control unit senses the abnormal state of the socket 42 and immediately stops the operation of the device.

[0041] On the one hand, the (+)(-) electrode parts 52a and 52b are composed of bolts B and nuts 53 made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, wire connection rings 55 and springs 55. In the socket 42, a bolt head placement groove 524, a spring placement groove 525, a bolt through hole 526, and a spring support step 527 are formed. The bolt head placement groove 524 is open on the back side of the socket 42 and is formed to have an inner diameter smaller than that of the bolt head 522. The spring placement groove 525 has an inner diameter corresponding to the spring 55 provided outside the bolt body 521 to be described later and is formed to communicate with the lower part of the bolt head placement groove 524. The bolt through hole 526 is formed in the center of the spring placement groove 525 to have an inner diameter corresponding to the outer diameter of the bolt B, and spring support steps 527 are formed on both sides of the bolt through hole 526.

[0042] The bolt B is a hexagonal bolt, and the bolt head 522 is inserted into the bolt head placement groove 524. At this time, since the bolt head placement groove 524 is formed to have a height smaller than that of the bolt head 522, the bolt head 522 protrudes to the back side of the socket 42. Also, the bolt body 521 penetrates through the spring placement groove 525 and the bolt through hole 526, and the thread 523 protrudes to the lower side of the spring support step 527. After the wire connection ring 55 is first inserted and attached to the bolt body 521 on the thread 523 side, the bolt B and the wire connection ring 55 are fixed to the spring support step 527 of the socket 42 by tightening the nut 53 with respect to the thread 523. Then, the spring 55 is installed inside the spring placement groove 525, that is, outside the bolt body 521. The spring 55 constantly elastically supports the bolt head 522 to the back side of the socket 42, so that the adhesion force of the bolt head 522 to the energizing piece 51 installed on the steaming chamber cover 30b is continuously maintained. As a result, the contact failure between the energizing piece 51 and the (+)(-) electrode parts 52a and 52b can be eliminated.

[0043] The wire connection ring 55 has an annular wire insertion groove 54a formed on the outer side of the middle. The wire is also connected by winding the core part with the coating peeled off in a ring shape along the wire insertion groove 54a, so that it can cope with the position change of the equipment body having a control unit. As a result, unlike existing welding, there is no phenomenon that the connection part is stressed due to the position change of the mating object and falls off, and it has the advantage that the energized state can be continuously maintained.

[0044] Thus, in the present invention, a shielding film is installed upright integrally inside the steam generation chamber to provide a double-wall form. The steam heated by the heater can be transmitted and supplied to the user side again in an indirect manner through the reverse circulation process via the shielding film. As a result, even when an error or failure of the safety device suddenly occurs, the safety in use can be ensured. Since it is not necessary to lengthen the steam transfer pipe to lower the temperature of the steam, the complexity and inconvenience associated with the use of the steam transfer pipe can be eliminated. It can be used not only for the user's body but also for facial massage purposes, so that the performance and reliability of the device can be further increased.

[0045] In addition, in the present invention, the steam generation chamber cover that does not come into contact with water is perforated so that the heater can be installed inside the steam generation chamber. As a result, it is possible to reliably prevent water leakage caused by perforating the part that inevitably comes into contact with water for the installation of the existing heater.

[0046] In addition, in the present invention, after the use of the fumigator, the water in the steam generation chamber and the steaming chamber can be immediately discharged to the outside, and it is possible to prevent the corruption caused by the remaining water inside the steam generation chamber and the steaming chamber in advance, so that the hygiene in use can be ensured.

[0047] In addition, the present invention attaches a magnet to the steaming chamber cover and is provided with a magnet sensor or an energization sensor at the socket of the steam transfer pipe that is detachably attached to the steaming chamber air supply port of the steaming chamber main body. When the steam transfer pipe and the steaming chamber cover are separated and detached from the steaming chamber main body, the power supply of the device can be automatically cut off. As a result, fatal safety accidents due to carelessness in the use of the fumigator can be prevented.

[0048] As described above, the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described. However, the present invention can use various changes, modifications, and equivalents. It is obvious that the present invention can be identically applied by appropriately modifying the above embodiments. Therefore, the above description does not limit the scope of the invention defined by the limits of the following claims. On the other hand, in the detailed description of the present invention, specific embodiments have been described. However, it can be said that it is obvious to those with ordinary knowledge in the art that various modifications are possible within the scope not departing from the present invention.
