Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 6-59301

  However, when using a mist device, it is desirable to continue bathing for at least a predetermined time, and there is a risk that the user becomes bored during bathing. For this reason, although it is possible to view radio and television, a method for enhancing the relaxation effect is desired.

  Moreover, although it is desirable to continue bathing for a predetermined time, it was not easy for a bather to judge bathing time in a bathroom.

  This invention is made | formed in view of the said problem, and makes it a subject to provide the mist system which can acquire sufficient relaxation effect by the time of mist utilization.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, a mist system according to the present invention includes mist ejection means for ejecting hot water in a mist form to a bathroom, and heating means for increasing the temperature of the bathroom by warm air, An illumination unit is provided in at least one of the mist ejection unit and the heating unit.

  Further, another mist system according to the present invention is a mist system comprising: a mist ejecting means for ejecting hot water in a mist shape to a bathroom; and a heating means for raising the temperature of the bathroom by hot air. Illuminating means for changing at least one of the illumination color and the amount of illumination light according to the passage of time since the start of mist ejection by the means is provided.

  Furthermore, another mist system according to the present invention is a mist system comprising: a mist ejecting means for ejecting hot water in a mist form to the bathroom; and a heating means for increasing the temperature of the bathroom by warm air.

The ion generator 58 is disposed so that the ion emission surface is exposed to the air flow formed by setting the damper 56a to the circulation position or the circulation ventilation position. The ion generator 58 can generate both positive ions and negative ions or negative ions. The principle of generation of positive ions and negative ions is that a corona discharge is generated by boosting and applying an AC voltage obtained from a household AC power source or the like between a pair of electrodes opposed so that a dielectric is interposed. Oxygen or water in the air is ionized by receiving energy by ionization, and H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m (m is an arbitrary natural number) and O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n (n is an arbitrary natural number) ) Releases the main ions.

These H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m and O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n adhere to the surface of the floating bacteria and chemically react to generate H ₂ O ₂ or .OH as an active species. Since H ₂ O ₂ or .OH exhibits extremely strong activity, they can surround and remove airborne bacteria. Here, .OH is one kind of active species, and represents radical OH.

  In association with the rotation of the fan 51, approximately the same number of positive ions and negative ions are generated, and air containing these positive ions and negative ions is blown to the bathroom 2, whereby floating bacteria contained in the circulating air and It becomes possible to inactivate both the floating bacteria contained in the air of the bathroom 2 to suppress the generation of mold and the like and to perform sterilization.

When the start signal is not received, the mist control unit 27 repeatedly executes the start signal detection process (step S.201) (step S.201).

  When the start signal is received, the mist control unit 27 transmits a mist process start signal to the air conditioning control unit 62 (step S.203).

  The air conditioning control unit 62 performs detection processing of the signal from the mist control unit 27 (step S.101 in FIG. 11), and determines whether or not the received signal is a start signal from the mist control unit 27 (step). S.102). If the detected signal is not a start signal, or if no signal is detected, the air conditioning control unit 62 repeatedly executes signal reception processing (step S.101 in FIG. 12). When the start signal is received from the mist control unit 27, the air conditioning control unit 62 moves the damper 56a to the circulation position and then drives the fan motor to rotate the fan 51 (step S.103), as shown in FIG. Air flow (arrow A and arrow B) is generated. In conjunction with driving of the fan motor 52, the ion generator 58 may be driven to generate positive ions and negative ions.

  Thereafter, the air conditioning control unit 62 acquires temperature information in the bathroom from the temperature detection sensor 55 and transmits the acquired temperature information to the mist control unit 27 (step S.104). Thereafter, the air-conditioning control unit 62 performs detection processing of the signal from the mist control unit 27 again (step S.105), and determines whether the received signal is not an end signal from the mist control unit 27 (step S.105). S.106). For example, since the bather may stop using the mist, the signal from the mist control unit 27 is detected again to determine the end signal. If the acquired signal is an end signal, the air conditioning control unit 62 stops driving the fan motor 52 and the heater unit 57 (step S.107), and ends the mist process.

  On the other hand, when the detected signal is not the end signal or when the signal is not detected, the air conditioning control unit 62 determines that the bathroom temperature T is T1 degrees or more based on the bathroom temperature information acquired from the temperature detection sensor 55. Is determined (step S.108).

  T1 degrees and T2 degrees shown in FIG. 10 are preset temperatures stored in the ROM of the mist control unit 27 and the ROM of the air conditioning control unit 62. T2 degrees is a temperature at which energization of the heater unit 57 is stopped by the control of the air conditioning control unit 62 when the mist is used, and T1 degrees is energization of the heater unit 57 by the control of the air conditioning control unit 62. Temperature. That is, in order to keep the temperature in the bathroom 2 constant at a high temperature between T1 degrees and T2 degrees (the range of the hatched portion shown in FIG. 10), the heater section when the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is T2 degrees or more. The energization of 57 is stopped to suppress the temperature rise in the bathroom 2, and when the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is T1 degrees or less, energization of the heater unit 57 is started to suppress the temperature drop in the bathroom 2.

  When the temperature of the bathroom 2 is less than T1 degrees, the air conditioning control unit 62 starts driving the heater unit 57 to warm the air in the bathroom 2 (step S.109). And the air-conditioning control part 62 repeats step S.D. The process 104 is executed.

  On the other hand, when the bathroom temperature is equal to or higher than T1 degrees, the air conditioning control unit 62 determines whether or not the bathroom temperature is equal to or higher than T2 degrees (step S.110). When the bathroom temperature is equal to or higher than T2 degrees, the air-conditioning control unit 62 stops driving the heater unit 57 to prevent the temperature in the bathroom 2 from increasing (step S.111). The process 104 is executed. When the bathroom temperature is equal to or lower than T2 degrees, the air conditioning control unit 62 directly performs step S.I. The process 104 is repeatedly executed.

  Thus, the temperature of the bathroom is set to a temperature between T1 degrees and T2 degrees by driving the heater section 57 when the temperature of the bathroom 2 is T1 degrees or less and stopping the heater section 57 when the temperature is T2 degrees or more. Can be maintained.

  While adjusting the temperature by operating / stopping the heater unit 57, the air conditioning control unit 62 can periodically transmit the temperature information of the bathroom 2 to the mist control unit 27 (step S.104). When the stop signal is received from the unit 27 (steps S.105 and S.106), the driving of the fan motor 52 and the heater unit 57 is stopped (step S.107), and the mist process is quickly completed. It becomes possible.

  On the other hand, the mist control unit 27 acquires temperature information in the bathroom 2 periodically sent from the air conditioning control unit 62 (step S.204 in FIG. 12). Thereafter, the mist control unit 27 determines whether or not the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is equal to or higher than T3 degrees shown in FIG. 10 based on the temperature information in the bathroom 2 received from the air conditioning control unit 62 (Step S1). S.205). Here, T3 degrees means a temperature of the bathroom 2 which is a temperature of T1 degrees or less and is suitable for starting the mist ejection.

  When the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is less than T3 degrees, the mist control unit 27 repeatedly determines the temperature of the bathroom 2 for a predetermined time (until the time t becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined time t1) (step S.206). 204, step S.205). If the temperature T in the bathroom does not exceed T3 degrees even after repeatedly determining the temperature of the bathroom 2 for a predetermined time (Yes in step S.206), the mist control unit 27 gives an error or the like to the bather. After the warning is transmitted (step S.207), the process proceeds to a process (step S.230-) for ending mist control described later.

  When the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is T3 degrees or higher, the mist control unit 27 lights the LED light source 29 in red (step S.208). Thus, by lighting the LED light source 29 in red, the bather can confirm that the temperature of the bathroom 2 is approaching T1 to T2, which is the optimum temperature for the mist, through the ground glass of the bathroom 3 and the like. Can be judged visually.

  For this reason, the bather can start bathing at the same time as the temperature T of the bathroom 2 reaches the temperature at which mist starts, by starting the preparation for bathing with the red lighting of the LED light source 29 as a cue.

  After the LED light source 29 is lit red, the mist control unit 27 detects the water temperature by the water temperature sensor 20 (step S.209), and the water temperature detected by the water temperature sensor 20 becomes a predetermined temperature suitable for mist. It is determined whether or not (step S.210).

  If the water temperature has not reached the predetermined temperature, the mist control unit 27 repeatedly performs the water temperature determination for a predetermined time (until the time t becomes equal to or longer than the predetermined time t2) (steps S.209 and S.210). ) If the water temperature does not reach the predetermined temperature even after repeated determination of the water temperature for a predetermined time (Yes in step S.211), a warning such as an error is given to the bather (step S.207). Then, the process proceeds to a process (steps S.230 and after) for ending the mist control described later.

  When the water temperature reaches a predetermined temperature, the mist control unit 27 opens the electromagnetic valve 19 of the electromagnetic valve unit 13 and ejects hot water from the mist nozzles 32a to 32c (step S.212). Thus, by performing mist ejection, the inside of the bathroom 2 can be increased in high temperature and high humidity, so that it is possible to experience the mist effect by bathing.

  Thereafter, the mist control unit 27 acquires temperature information in the bathroom 2 from the air conditioning control unit 62 (step S.213), and whether or not the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is equal to or higher than T2 degrees shown in FIG. A determination is made (step S.214).

  Here, T2 degrees means the temperature of the bathroom 2 suitable for the bather to start the mist bathing. In this embodiment, the temperature T2 degrees suitable for starting the mist bathing and the temperature T2 degrees where the energization control by the heater unit 57 is performed are the same temperature, but the bather starts the mist bathing. The temperature of the bathroom 2 suitable for this is not necessarily the same as the energization control temperature of the heater unit 57, and is usually a temperature that can be set separately according to each control.

  When the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is less than T2 degrees, the mist control unit 27 repeatedly performs the temperature determination of the bathroom 2 for a predetermined time (until the time t becomes equal to or greater than the predetermined time t1) (step S.215). .213, step S.214). If the temperature T in the bathroom does not exceed T2 degrees even after repeatedly determining the temperature of the bathroom 2 for a predetermined time (Yes in step S.206), the mist control unit 27 gives an error or the like to the bather. After the warning is transmitted (step S.207), the process proceeds to a process (step S.230-) for ending mist control described later.

  When the temperature T in the bathroom 2 is equal to or higher than T2 degrees, the mist control unit 27 uses the time function to start the time from the start of the mist ejection (step S.216), and in the bathroom. The illumination is controlled to darken (step S.217).

  During the mist ejection, the bather can operate the mist remote controller 16 to tilt the mist nozzles 32a to 32c toward the bathtub 2a or the washing place 2b. The mist control unit 27 drives and controls the drive motor 28 in accordance with the operation of the mist remote controller 16, and tilts the mist nozzle 32a in a desired direction.

  Moreover, the change of the direction of the nozzles 32a-32c is not limited to when changing by the drive of the drive motor 28, You may change by moving the front panel 31 of the mist generator 10 manually.

  Thereafter, the mist control unit 27 obtains the elapsed time t measured by the time function (step S.218), and determines whether or not the elapsed time t from the start of the mist injection is equal to or longer than S1 time (step S.218). S. 219). In this embodiment, 5 minutes is set as the S1 time. When the elapsed time t is less than 5 minutes (less than S1), the mist control unit 27 turns on the LED light source 29 in blue (step S.220). If it is less than 5 minutes after the start of mist injection, it is highly likely that the bather's body is not yet warm enough, so it is blue, which is a shade that is warmer than other colors, corresponding to the body temperature state The LED light source 29 is illuminated. Since the illumination of the bathroom 2 is dark (step S.217), the illumination effect of the LED light source 29 can be given more effectively.

  When the elapsed time t from the start of mist injection is S1 time or more, the mist control unit 27 determines whether or not the elapsed time t is S2 time or more (step S.221). In the present embodiment, it is assumed that 10 minutes is set as the S2 time. When the elapsed time t is less than 10 minutes (less than S2), more specifically, when it is 5 minutes or more (S1 or more) and less than 10 minutes (less than S2), the mist control unit 62 turns the LED light source 29 on. Light up in yellow (step S.222). When the elapsed time t since the start of mist injection is 5 minutes or more and less than 10 minutes, the bather's body is likely to be warm and calm, so it gives a visually calm feeling. By illuminating the LED light source, mental stability can be given to the bather. Moreover, since the illumination of the bathroom 2 is dark (step S.217), the illumination effect of the LED light source 29 can be given more effectively.

  When the elapsed time t from the start of mist injection is S2 hours or more, the mist control unit 27 determines whether or not the elapsed time t is S3 hours or more (step S.223). In this embodiment, 15 minutes is set as the S3 time. When the elapsed time t is less than 15 minutes (less than S3), more specifically, when it is 10 minutes or more (S2 or more) and less than 15 minutes (less than S3), the mist control unit 62 turns the LED light source 29 on. It is lit in green (step S.224). When the elapsed time t from the start of the mist injection is 10 minutes or more and less than 15 minutes, it seems that sufficient sweating is performed from the bather's body, so by illuminating the LED light source 29 in green, The bather can visually determine that the bathing time necessary for obtaining a sweating effect by the mist has elapsed. Moreover, since the illumination of the bathroom 2 is dark (step S.217), the illumination effect of the LED light source 29 can be given more effectively.

  Furthermore, when the elapsed time t from the start of mist injection is S3 hours or longer, the mist control unit 27 determines whether or not the elapsed time t is S4 hours or longer (step S.225). In the present embodiment, for example, 20 minutes is set as the S4 time. When the elapsed time t is less than 20 minutes (less than S4), more specifically, when it is 15 minutes or more (S3 or more) and less than 20 minutes (less than S4), the mist control unit 62 turns the LED light source 29 on. It is lit in orange (step S.226). When the elapsed time t from the start of the mist injection is 15 minutes or more and less than 20 minutes, it can be determined that the body temperature of the bather is sufficiently high, so an orange LED light source showing a sufficient warmth visually By illuminating 29, the bather can also visually obtain a warm feeling from the mist. Moreover, since the illumination of the bathroom 2 is dark (step S.217), the illumination effect of this LED light source can be given more effectively.

  If the elapsed time t is 20 minutes or longer (S4 or longer), the mist control unit 62 turns on the LED light source 29 in red (step S.227). When the elapsed time t from the start of mist injection is 20 minutes or more, it is determined that it is desirable to end the mist soon because the bather has taken a long bath in a high-temperature / high-humidity bathroom. Can do. For this reason, by illuminating the LED light source 29 in red, it becomes possible to prompt the bather to finish bathing the mist. Moreover, since the illumination of the bathroom 2 is dark (step S.217), the illumination effect of the LED light source 29 can be given more effectively.

  In this way, by changing the illumination colors of blue-yellow-green-orange-red and the LED light source 29 according to the bathing time, it is possible to perform an illumination effect that matches the body temperature rise of the bather, The lighting effect can be achieved without giving a sense of incongruity to the visual impression with the bather's sense.

  In addition, the illumination color and its order of this illumination are not restricted to the illumination color mentioned above and its order, It is also possible to set it as another illumination color and another order. For example, the illumination color of the LED light source 29 may be changed between orange-green-yellow-blue and the shades described above.

  If it is less than 5 minutes after the start of mist injection, it is likely that the bather's body has not yet been sufficiently warmed up, so the LED light source 29 is visually illuminated by illuminating it with an orange color representing a warm sensation. It is possible to give bathers a calm and warm feeling.

  After that, if the elapsed time t from the start of the mist injection is 5 minutes or more and less than 10 minutes, the bather's body is likely to be warm and calm, so a visually calm feeling By illuminating the LED light source with the green color to be given, it becomes possible to provide the bather with mental stability.

  Furthermore, if the elapsed time t from the start of the mist injection is 10 minutes or more and less than 15 minutes, it is considered that sufficient sweating is performed from the bather's body, so the LED light source 29 is illuminated in yellow. Thus, the bather can visually determine that the bathing time necessary for obtaining a sweating effect by the mist has elapsed.

  In addition, when the elapsed time t from the start of the mist injection is 15 minutes or more and less than 20 minutes, it can be determined that the body temperature of the bather is sufficiently high, so that it gives a visually cool impression. By illuminating the LED light source 29, the bather can visually relieve the difficulty of breathing caused by mist.

  After performing the lighting process of the LED light source (step S.220, step S.222, step S.224, step S.226, step S.227), the mist control unit 27 detects the mist process end signal. (Step S.228) is performed, and it is determined whether or not an end signal has been received (Step S229).

  When the end signal is not received, the mist control unit 27 shifts the processing to the processing for obtaining the elapsed time t measured by the time function (Step S.218), and the processing described above (Step S.219 to Step S). .229) is repeatedly executed.

  When the end signal is received, the mist control unit 27 transmits the end signal to the air conditioning control unit 62 (step S.230), ends the time measurement by the time function (step S.231), and turns off the LED light source 29. (Step S.232), the lighting 78 of the bathroom 2 is turned on (Step S.233), the solenoid valve 19 is closed (Step S.234), and the mist injection is terminated, whereby the process by the mist system 1 is performed. finish.

  As described above, by using the mist system 1 according to the present invention, the emission color of the LED light source 29 changes according to the time after the start of mist ejection, so that the bather becomes bored during bathing. Can be reduced. Moreover, since the luminescent color of the LED light source 29 changes, the bather can visually determine the time after the mist ejection.

  For example, when using mist, it is preferable to take a bath without worrying about the clock in order to enhance the relaxation effect. However, in order to obtain a sweating action, the bath is continuously taken for a certain period of time (for example, about 10 minutes). Because it is desirable to do, bathers tend to want to know the bathing time. In addition, since the sauna effect makes the breathing difficult, bathers who are vulnerable to heat and the like may end the bathing before obtaining a sweating effect.

  When the bathing time can be determined by the LED light source 29 as in the mist system 1 according to the present invention, it is possible to grasp the passage of time without bringing a watch or the like into the bathroom. It is possible to obtain a sufficient relaxation effect. In addition, even for bathers who are vulnerable to heat, the passage of time can be determined from the change in the light emission color of the LED light source 29, so that the passage of the bathing time for obtaining a certain sweating effect can be easily known.

  Furthermore, since the LED light source 29 is lit red when the temperature reaches T3 degrees before the mist injection is performed, the bather can easily know the optimum timing for the start of bathing preparation and take off quickly. It is possible to prevent the person from entering the bathroom 2 in a state where the heating has not been performed.

  In the present embodiment, the emission color of the LED light source 29 is changed over time, but the change in the emission color of the LED light source 29 is not limited to the color order shown in the embodiment. The light may be emitted in the order of different colors or in different colors.

  Furthermore, it is also possible to illuminate the LED light source 29 with the same emission color when mist is ejected regardless of the passage of time. For example, by providing a button for switching the light emission color of the LED light source 29 on the mist remote controller 16, red is used to promote blood circulation, yellow is used to increase concentration, green is used to reduce physical fatigue, mental If you want to relax, you can change the emission color of the LED light source 29 according to the mood and physical condition of the bather, such as blue, so that the lighting effect suitable for the mood and physical condition at that time can be obtained.

  In addition to changing the emission color of the LED light source 29, it is also possible to change the emission amount. For example, immediately after mist ejection, the illumination light of the LED light source 29 is set to be dark, and the illumination light intensity is increased and brightened as time elapses, so that the relaxation effect is enhanced by the dim bathroom 2 environment immediately after bathing, and over time It is also possible to make the lighting brighter and make the mist end.

  Furthermore, the relaxation effect can be further enhanced by playing healing music and the like together with the change in the emission color of the LED light source 29 and the change in the emission amount.

  In addition, the time interval (in the embodiment, 5 minutes) in which the emission color of the LED light source 29 changes in the above embodiment and the set time (in the embodiment, set to 20 minutes) at which the change in the emission color ends are as described above. It is not limited to the time interval and set time shown in the embodiment, and can be freely changed by the user. For example, when the user operates the mist remote controller 16 to set or change the time interval or the set time, the time interval or the like can be changed or adjusted according to the user's preference or the like.

  Furthermore, in the mist system 1 shown in the present embodiment, the bathroom air conditioner 11 is installed on the ceiling on the bathtub 2a side, and the mist generating apparatus 10 is arranged on the ceiling surface at the intermediate position (boundary position) between the washing place 2b and the bathtub 2a. Furthermore, since the lighting device 46 is disposed at the edge of the mist generating device 10 on the bathtub 2a side and the edge of the washing place 2b, the washing place 2b even when the bather is in the bathroom 2. Even when the person is in the bathroom, it is possible to perform an illumination effect by the LED light source 29, and the bather can experience the illumination effect regardless of the position in the bathroom.

  Furthermore, in the mist system 1 shown in the embodiment, the bathroom air conditioner 11 can be used as a heating means for heating the bathroom 2, so that the mist generating apparatus 10 can be manufactured at a lower cost than a general bathroom provided with the bathroom air conditioner 11. And it becomes possible to install the hot water supply apparatus 12.

  The mist system according to the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, the mist system according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications can be made within the scope of the claims, and these are naturally within the technical scope of the present invention. Understood.

  For example, by providing an illumination remote controller for changing the operation of the illumination device 46 and adopting a wireless communication method such as infrared rays or radio waves, illumination of the illumination device 46 from the bathroom 2 while the user is using mist. Color / light intensity. It is also possible to freely change the illumination color change interval and the like.

  Specifically, the front panel 31 of the nozzle unit 15 is formed with a light receiving window for receiving the infrared light of the illumination remote controller, and the light receiving device for receiving the infrared light of the illumination remote controller through the light receiving window is a main body of the nozzle unit 15. Provided on the unit 30 side, the operation information of the illumination remote controller is transmitted from the light receiving device to the mist control unit 27.

  With such a configuration, the operation information of the illumination remote controller is transmitted to the mist control unit 27, so that the mist control unit 27 emits the light emission color, light emission amount, and light emission of the LED light source 29 based on the operation information. It becomes possible to change the time interval etc. which change a color.

  Similarly, a light receiving window for receiving infrared rays or the like of the lighting remote controller is provided on the front panel 54 of the bathroom air conditioner 11a, and a light receiving device for receiving infrared rays of the lighting remote controller through the light receiving window is provided on the fan case 53. The operation information of the illumination remote controller can be transmitted from the light receiving device to the mist control unit 27 via the air conditioning control unit 62.

  Even in the case of adopting such a configuration, the operation information of the illumination remote controller is transmitted to the mist control unit 27, so that the mist control unit 27 determines the emission color of the LED light source 29 based on the operation information, It is possible to change the time interval for changing the light emission amount and the light emission color.

  Furthermore, although the case where the bathroom air conditioner 11 was used in order to heat the bathroom 2 was demonstrated in the said embodiment, the apparatus which heats the bathroom 2 is necessarily limited only to the bathroom air conditioner 11. Instead, a heating device may be provided separately from the bathroom air conditioner 11.

  Moreover, in the mist system 1 shown in the above embodiment, the mist generating device 10 that ejects mist and the bathroom air conditioner 11 that is a heating means that performs bathroom heating are configured as separate devices. The mist system 1 is not necessarily limited to one in which the mist generating device 10 and the heating means are configured by separate devices, and the mist generating device 10 may be integrally provided with the heating means. When the heating device is configured integrally with the mist generating device 10, the installation load of the mist generating device 10 can be reduced as compared with the case where the mist generating device 10 is configured separately, and the bathroom 2 has no heating function. The mist system 1 can be easily installed in the bathroom 2 in which only the device is installed.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, although the case where the illuminating device 46 was provided in the mist generating apparatus 10 was demonstrated, the illuminating device 46 is not necessarily limited to what is provided in the mist generating apparatus 10, The bathroom air conditioner 11 is provided. It may be provided, or may be configured separately from the mist generator 10 and the bathroom air conditioner 11.

  FIG. 14 shows the bathroom air conditioner 11a in which the lighting device 46a is installed, and shows a state where the LED light source 29 is disposed on the front panel 54 of the bathroom air conditioner 11a as the lighting device 46a. As described above, when the LED light source 29 is installed in the bathroom air conditioner 11a, the air-conditioning control unit 62 performs the light emission color control and the light emission amount control including the on / off control of the LED light source 29. By controlling the LED light source 29 in the bathroom air conditioner 11a, the relaxation effect by the illumination light of the LED light source 29 can be obtained even in the bathroom 2 where the mist generating device 10 is not installed.

  For example, in recent years, in order to obtain a sweating action and a relaxation effect, a half-body bath in the bathtub 2a is frequently performed. By providing the bathroom air conditioner 11a provided with the LED light source 29 in such a bathroom 2, even if the mist generating device 10 is not installed, by changing the light emission color or light emission amount of the LED light source 29 The relaxation effect can be enhanced. Moreover, it becomes possible to reduce being bored during bathing by changing the light emission color and the light emission amount.

  In addition, even when half bathing is performed, it is necessary to continue half bathing for a certain amount of time in order to obtain a sweating effect. For example, when a bath lighting switch or an air conditioner fan motor is started, Judging as the start time and changing the emission color of the LED light source 29 according to the bathing time, the bathing time due to half-body bathing can be grasped sensuously, without worrying about the clock, etc. It is possible to obtain a relaxation effect. In addition, even for bathers who are vulnerable to heat, the bathing time can be easily determined by the change in the light emission color of the LED light source 29 and the like, so that a sufficient half-body bathing effect can be obtained.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 14, even when the bather is in the bathroom 2 by arranging the lighting device 46 a at the edge of the bathroom air conditioner 11 on the bathtub 2 a side and the edge of the washing place 2 b. Even in the washing place 2b, it is possible to perform lighting effects by the LED light source 29, and the bather can experience the lighting effect regardless of the position in the bathroom.
