Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Dampfkabine gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruches 1.The invention relates to a steam cabin according to the preamble of claim 1.

Dampfkabinen werden bereits seit einigen Jahren industriell aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Solche Kabinen, die sich auch Zuhause aufstellen lassen, dienen zum sogenannten Dampfbaden. Um den erwünschten Dampf bzw. Nebel bilden zu können, muß die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit in der Dampfkabine über 100 % liegen. Das bedeutet, daß sich an der Kabinenwandung, insbesondere aber an dem Kabinendach Feuchtigkeit niederschlägt und dort eine Tropfenbildung verursacht.Steam booths have been manufactured industrially from plastic for several years. Such cabins, which can also be set up at home, are used for steam bathing. In order to be able to form the desired steam or mist, the relative humidity in the steam cabin must be over 100%. This means that moisture condenses on the cabin wall, but especially on the cabin roof, and causes drops to form there.

Aus der Praxis bekannte Dampfkabinen besitzen sogenannte Bogen- bzw. Korbbogendächer, welche einen relativ großen, fast ebenen Teil ohne merkliche Neigung aufweisen. In diesem Bereich bilden sich große Wassertropfen, die nach einer gewissen Zeit abfallen und auf die Benutzer des Dampfbades herabtropfen können. Dieses Herabtropfen wird von den Badegästen als sehr unangenehm empfunden.Steam cabins known from practice have so-called arched or arched roofs, which have a relatively large, almost flat part without noticeable inclination. Large water drops form in this area, which fall off after a certain time and can drip down on the users of the steam bath. This dripping is perceived by the bathers as very uncomfortable.

Bei schräg geneigten Dächern tritt bei entsprechender Länge des Dachteils das gleiche Phänomen auf; das Kondensat an dem Kabinendach bildet Tropfen, welche sich beim Abfließen vereinigen und dann auf die Badegäste herabfallen.With sloping roofs, the same phenomenon occurs with a corresponding length of the roof part; the condensate on the cabin roof forms drops, which combine as they flow and then fall onto the bathers.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Dampfkabine der eingangs beschriebenen Art in ihrer Handhabung insbesondere dahingehend zu verbessern, daß das Herabfallen von sich an dem Kabinendach niederschlagenden Kondensattropfen auf die die Dampfkabine benutzenden Badegäste praktisch vermieden wird.It is therefore an object of the present invention to improve the handling of a steam cabin of the type described at the outset, in particular in such a way that drops of condensate dropping onto the cabin roof onto the bathers using the steam cabin are practically avoided.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Auf diese Weise wird vorteilhaft erreicht, daß die Wassertropfen nunmehr im wesentlichen ausschließlich an den unteren Grenzkanten herabtropfen. Diese Grenzkanten können in dem Kabinendach so angelegt werden, daß sie sich nicht oberhalb der Badegäste befinden, so daß die Badegäste durch das herabtropfende Wasser nicht belästigt werden.In this way it is advantageously achieved that the water drops now essentially only drip down at the lower boundary edges. These boundary edges can be created in the cabin roof so that they are not located above the bathers, so that the bathers are not disturbed by the dripping water.

Besonders günstig ist es, wenn unterhalb der unteren Grenzkanten jeweils eine sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge der Grenzkante erstreckende Wasserauffangrinne befestigt ist. So kann verhindert werden, daß überhaupt Wasser von dem Kabinendach herabtropft. Die Wasserauffangrinne kann mit einem Abflußrohr verbunden sein.It is particularly expedient if a water gutter which extends essentially over the entire length of the boundary edge is attached below the lower boundary edges. This can prevent water from dripping from the cabin roof at all. The water gutter can be connected to a drain pipe.

Um das Abtropfen des Kondensats von den Grenzkanten in die Wasserauffangrinne zu unterstützen, ist es vorteilhaft, daß jeweils an den unteren Grenzkanten ein nach unten weisender, sich im wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge der Grenzkante erstreckender flanschartiger Abtropfsteg befestigt ist. Vorteilhaft an der Ausbildung eines solchen Abtropfsteges ist es weiterhin, daß dieser jeweils zur Hälfte von zwei aneinanderstoßenden Dachteilen gebildet werden kann, so daß sich die Dachteile durch einfaches Verschrauben der flanschartigen Abtropfstege miteinander verbinden lassen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, bei einer geplanten Vergrößerung der Dampfkabine das Dach einfach durch Hinzufügen eines weiteren Dachteils zu vergrößern.In order to support the draining of the condensate from the boundary edges into the water collecting channel, it is advantageous that a downward-pointing flange-like drip web, which extends essentially over the entire length of the boundary edge, is attached to the lower boundary edges. Another advantage of the design of such a drainer is that half of it can be formed by two abutting roof parts, so that the roof parts can be connected to one another simply by screwing the flange-like drains together. In this way it is possible to enlarge the roof simply by adding a further roof part when the steam cabin is planned to be enlarged.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die Kabinenwandung im Querschnitt in Form eines Vielecks ausgebildet, wobei sich die Grenzkanten der aneinanderstoßenden Dachteile von der Kabinenwandung aus im wesentlichen radial nach innen zur Symmetrieachse der Kabinenwandung erstrecken. Die Form des Daches läßt sich in etwa mit einer vergrößerten Zitruspresse vergleichen.According to a preferred embodiment, the cabin wall is designed in cross-section in the form of a polygon, the boundary edges of the abutting roof parts extending essentially radially inwards from the cabin wall to the axis of symmetry of the cabin wall. The shape of the roof can be compared to an enlarged citrus press.

Gemäß einer anderen Ausführungsform ist die Kabinenwandung im Querschnitt viereckförmig ausgebildet, wobei sich die Grenzkanten der aneinanderstoßenden Dachteile im wesentlichen parallel zu einer Seite der Kabinenwandung erstrecken.According to another embodiment, the cabin wall is square in cross section, the boundary edges of the abutting roof parts extending essentially parallel to one side of the cabin wall.

Besonders günstig für das Ablaufen der Wassertropfen zu den unteren Grenzkanten des Daches ist es, wenn der Neigungswinkel der Dachteile gemessen zur Horizontalen etwa 15-30°, vorzugsweise 25° beträgt. Wieviele Dachteile für ein Kabinendach vorzusehen sind, hängt im wesentlichen von der Größe des Kabinendaches ab.It is particularly favorable for the water drops to run off to the lower boundary edges of the roof if the angle of inclination of the roof parts, measured relative to the horizontal, is approximately 15-30 °, preferably 25 ° . How many roof parts are to be provided for a canopy essentially depends on the size of the canopy.

Im folgenden werden Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert. Es zeigen:

Exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to drawings. Show it:
  • FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a steam cabin according to the invention with a cabin wall that is rectangular in cross section,
  • FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of the roof of the steam cabin from FIG. 1,

  • Figure 4 is a front view of part of an innovation steam cabin according to a second embodiment.

In der Figur 1 ist eine Dampfkabine 1 dargestellt, welche durch eine Kabinenwandung 2 umschlossen ist. Die Kabinenwandung 2 besteht aus zwei Seitenwänden 3 sowie einer vorderen Wand 4 und einer hinteren Wand 5. Die vordere Wand 4 ist in der Figur 1 ausgebrochen dargestellt, damit der Betrachter der Dampfkabine 1 einen Einblick in das Innere der Dampfkabine erhält.1 shows a steam cabin 1, which is enclosed by a cabin wall 2. The cabin wall 2 consists of two side walls 3 and a front wall 4 and a rear wall 5. The front wall 4 is shown broken out in FIG. 1, so that the viewer of the steam cabin 1 gets an insight into the interior of the steam cabin.

Die Kabinenwandung 2 ist durch ein Dach 6 abgedeckt, welches einerseits die beiden Seitenwände 3 sowie andererseits die vordere Wand 4 und die hintere Wand 5 überspannt.The cabin wall 2 is covered by a roof 6, which on the one hand spans the two side walls 3 and on the other hand the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5.

Das Dach 6 besteht aus mehreren Dachflächen 7, 8, 9 und 10, von denen sich die äußeren Dachflächen 7 und 8 jeweils zu den Seitenwänden 3 neigen, während die inneren Dachflächen 9 und 10 gegeneinander geneigt sind. Die einzelnen Dachflächen 7, 8, 9 und 10 grenzen derart aneinander, daß das Dach 6 im Querschnitt eine im wesentlichen M-förmige Gestalt annimmt. Dabei bilden die aneinander angrenzenden Dachflächen obere Grenzkanten 11 und eine untere Grenzkante 12. Es ist sowohl möglich, die Dachflächen an den Grenzkanten 11 und 12 nachträglich miteinander zu verbinden wie auch das Dach 6 einstückig auszubilden.The roof 6 consists of several roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10, of which the outer roof surfaces 7 and 8 each incline to the side walls 3, while the inner roof surfaces 9 and 10 are inclined towards one another. The individual roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10 adjoin one another in such a way that the roof 6 assumes an essentially M-shaped shape in cross section. The adjoining roof surfaces form upper boundary edges 11 and a lower boundary edge 12. It is both possible to have the roof surfaces at the boundary edges 11 and 12 subsequently connect with each other as well as form the roof 6 in one piece.

Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel verlaufen die Grenzkanten 11 und 12 sowohl parallel zueinander als auch parallel zu den Seitenwänden 3, so daß die Dachflächen 7, 8, 9 und 10 rechteckig ausgebildet sind.In the embodiment shown, the boundary edges 11 and 12 run both parallel to one another and parallel to the side walls 3, so that the roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10 are rectangular.

An der unteren Grenzkante 12 ist ein sich über die gesamte Länge der Grenzkante 12 erstreckender flanschartiger Abtropfsteg 13 angebracht. Wie besonders gut aus der Figur 3 ersichtlich ist, wird der Abtropfsteg durch die nach unten abgewinkelten Seitenkanten 14 und 15 der inneren Dachflächen 9 und 10 gebildet. Wie in der gleichen Figur angedeutet ist, können somit die beiden Dachhälften, die einerseits aus der Dachfläche 7 und 9 und andererseits aus der Dachfläche 8 und 10 gebildet sind, an dem flanschartigen Abtropfsteg 13 miteinander verschraubt werden.On the lower boundary edge 12, a flange-like drip web 13 extending over the entire length of the boundary edge 12 is attached. As can be seen particularly well from FIG. 3, the drainer is formed by the downwardly angled side edges 14 and 15 of the inner roof surfaces 9 and 10. As indicated in the same figure, the two roof halves, which are formed on the one hand from the roof surface 7 and 9 and on the other hand from the roof surface 8 and 10, can be screwed together on the flange-like drip web 13.

Unterhalb des Abtropfsteges 13 befindet sich eine den Abtropfsteg U-förmig umgreifende Wasserauffangrinne 16. Die Wasserauffangrinne 16 erstreckt sich über die gesamte Länge des Abtropfsteges 13 und ist je nach Größe der Dampfkabine 1 an der vorderen Wand 4 und der hinteren Wand 5 und/oder an dem Abtropfsteg 13 gehalten.Below the draining web 13 there is a water collecting channel 16 which surrounds the draining U-shape. The water collecting channel 16 extends over the entire length of the draining web 13 and, depending on the size of the steam cabin 1, is on the front wall 4 and the rear wall 5 and / or the drainer 13 held.

Wie aus der Figur 2 ersichtlich ist, müssen die Dachflächen 7, 8, 9 und 10 nicht von gleicher Größe sein. Bei dem gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel überspannt die aus den Dachflächen 7 und 9 gebildete Dachhälfte eine Länge a von 1 Meter. Die aus den Dachflächen 8 und 10 gebildete Dachhälfte überspannt eine Länge b von 1,25 Metern. Der Neigungswinkel der Dachflächen 7,8,9 und 10 beträgt bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel durchgängig 25°.As can be seen from Figure 2, the roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10 need not be of the same size. In the embodiment shown, the roof half formed from the roof surfaces 7 and 9 spans a length a of 1 meter. The roof half formed from the roof surfaces 8 and 10 spans a length b of 1.25 meters. In this exemplary embodiment, the angle of inclination of the roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10 is 25 ° throughout.

In der Figur 4 ist ein weiteres Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß einer zweiten Ausführungsform der Neuerung dargestellt. Bei dieser Dampfkabine 1 wird die Kabinenwandung 2 durch Wände 17 gebildet, die auf einer achteckigen Grundfläche angeordnet sind. Die einzelnen Dachflächen 18 und 19 besitzen eine dreieckförmige Gestalt und erstrecken sich von den Wänden 17 der Dampfkabine 1 zu der Mittenachse M der Kabinenwandung 2. Die Dachflächen 18 und 19 sind ebenso wie bei dem ersten Ausführungsbeispiel gegeneinander geneigt und bilden somit in gleicher Weise untere Grenzkanten 20. Darüber hinaus besitzt jede der Dachflächen 18 und 19 außerdem noch eine Neigung von der Mittenachse M zu den Wänden 17 der Kabinenwandung 2. In gleicher Weise wie beim ersten Ausführungsbeispiel kann an den unteren Grenzkanten 20 ein Abtropfsteg sowie eine Wasserauffangrinne angeordnet sein.FIG. 4 shows a further exemplary embodiment according to a second embodiment of the innovation. In this steam cabin 1, the cabin wall 2 is formed by walls 17 which are arranged on an octagonal base. The individual roof surfaces 18 and 19 have a triangular shape and extend from the walls 17 of the steam cabin 1 to the central axis M of the cabin wall 2. The roof surfaces 18 and 19 are inclined with respect to one another as in the first embodiment and thus form lower boundary edges in the same way 20. In addition, each of the roof surfaces 18 and 19 also has an inclination from the central axis M to the walls 17 of the cabin wall 2. In the same way as in the first exemplary embodiment, a drip bar and a water collecting channel can be arranged on the lower boundary edges 20.

Im folgenden wird die Wirkungsweise der Neuerung anhand des ersten Ausführungsbeispiels kurz erläutert. Die geschilderte Wirkungsweise kann auch auf das zweite Ausführungsbeispiel übertragen werden.The mode of operation of the innovation is briefly explained below using the first exemplary embodiment. The described mode of action can also be applied to the second exemplary embodiment.

Beim Betrieb der Dampfkabine 1 werden in deren Innerem nebelartige Dampfschwaden eingebracht, was, wie bei herkömmlichen Dampfkabinen, verursacht, daß sich kondensiertes Wasser sowohl an der Kabinenwandung 2 als auch an dem Dach 6 der Dampfkabine niederschlägt. Aufgrund der relativ kurzen geneigten Dachflächen 7, 8, 9 und 10 rinnen die Wassertropfen die Dachschräge herunter und tropfen dann entweder in die Wasserauffangrinne 16 oder rinnen an den Seitenwänden 3 nach unten. Die Badegäste, welche auf den angedeuteten Bänken 21 22 sitzen, werden somit nicht durch von der Decke der Dampfkabine herabtropfendes Wasser belästigt.During operation of the steam cabin 1, mist-like steam vapors are introduced into the interior, which, like in conventional steam cabins, causes condensed water to be deposited on both the cabin wall 2 and the roof 6 of the steam cabin. Due to the relatively short inclined roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10, the water drops run down the roof slope and then either drop into the water collecting channel 16 or run down the side walls 3. The bathers, who are sitting on the indicated benches 21 22, are thus not bothered by water dripping from the ceiling of the steam cabin.

Bei der Festlegung der Größe der einzelnen Dachflächen 7, 8, 9 und 10 ist darauf zu achten, daß die geneigte Kantenlänge einer Dachfläche ein gewisses Höchstmaß nicht überschreitet, da es sonst vorkommen kann, daß die herabrinnenden Wassertropfen sich zu größeren Tropfen zusammenschließen und schließlich trotz der Neigung der Dachflächen nach unten herabtropfen. Auch bei der Bestimmung des Neigungswinkels a ist darauf zu achten, daß dieser einerseits nicht zu flach gewählt wird, da das kondensierte Wasser dann überhaupt nicht wegrinnt, sondern nach einer gewissen Zeit in Form großer Tropfen von dem Dach herabtropft, andererseits ist darauf zu achten, daß dieser Winkel auch nicht zu groß gewählt wird, da sonst das kondensierte Wasser zu schnell herabrinnt, was die Bildung großer Tropfen begünstigt, welche dann vor Erreichen der Ablaufrinne nach unten herabfallen würden.When determining the size of the individual roof surfaces 7, 8, 9 and 10, care must be taken that the inclined edge length of a roof surface does not exceed a certain maximum dimension, since it can otherwise occur that the water drops that come together form larger drops and finally despite drip down the slope of the roof surfaces. When determining the angle of inclination a, care must also be taken that on the one hand this is not chosen too flat, since the condensed water does not run away at all, but instead drips down from the roof in the form of large drops after a certain time. that this angle is not chosen too large, since otherwise the condensed water runs down too quickly, which favors the formation of large drops, which would then fall down before reaching the drainage channel.

Die in Figur 4 dargestellte Ausführungsform mit den in der Mitte der Dampfkabine 1 zusammenlaufenden Grenzkanten ist nicht auf eine Dampfkabine mit achteckiger Grundfläche beschränkt. Vielmehr ist es möglich, diese Dachgestaltung auch für Dampfkabinen mit runder oder rechteckiger Grundfläche vorzusehen. Dabei müssen sich die Grenzkanten nicht unbedingt in der Symmetrieachse der Kabinenwandung treffen, es ist auch möglich, daß der Schnittpunkt der Grenzkanten exzentrisch zu der Mittenachse liegt.The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 with the boundary edges converging in the middle of the steam cabin 1 is not limited to a steam cabin with an octagonal base area. Rather, it is possible to provide this roof design for steam cabins with a round or rectangular base. The boundary edges do not necessarily have to meet in the axis of symmetry of the cabin wall, it is also possible for the intersection of the boundary edges to be eccentric to the central axis.

Bei dem in Figur 1 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel gemäß der ersten Ausführungsform ist es auch möglich, das sich von einer Seitenwand zur anderen Seitenwand erstreckende Dach dadurch zu vergrö-Bem, daß weitere Dachflächen in das Dach eingebaut werden, so daß sich mehrere untere Grenzkanten ergeben.In the exemplary embodiment shown in FIG. 1 according to the first embodiment, it is also possible to enlarge the roof extending from one side wall to the other side wall by installing further roof surfaces in the roof, so that there are several lower boundary edges.

In bevorzugter Weise ist die Dampfkabine, insbesondere aber deren Dach aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Die in den Innenraum gewandte Oberfläche des Daches kann strukturiert ausgebildet sein, wodurch es möglich ist, den Neigungswinkel der Dachschrägen zu vergrößern, ohne daß es durch das Zusammenlaufen mehrerer kleiner Tropfen zur Bildung von großen Tropfen kommt, die dann von dem Dach herabfallen würden. Dachflächen mit kurzen geneigten Kantenlängen können flacher geneigt sein, als solche Dachflächen, die eine längere geneigte Kantenlänge aufweisen.The steam cabin, but in particular its roof, is preferably made of plastic. The surface of the roof facing into the interior can be structured, which makes it possible to increase the angle of inclination of the roof slopes without the formation of large drops due to the convergence of several small drops, which would then fall off the roof. Roof surfaces with short, inclined edge lengths can be inclined more gently than those with a longer, inclined edge length.

Die Dachteile müssen nicht aus ebenen Flächen gebildet sein ; sie können auch leicht gekrümmt ausgeführt sein. Die so gekrümmten Flächen können an ihren oberen Grenzkanten ohne merkliche Knickstellen ineinanderübergehen.The roof parts do not have to be formed from flat surfaces; they can also be made slightly curved. The surfaces curved in this way can merge into one another at their upper boundary edges without noticeable kinks.
