PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sauna device securely dried to keep the clean state.SOLUTION: The sauna device includes a heating means 9 for heating water in a water reservoir part 6, a drain pipe 12 for draining water in the water reservoir part 6, and a drain valve 13 for opening/closing the drain pipe 12. The sauna device also includes water crushing means 23, 25 and 30 including a rotator 25 with a lower part sunk in water stored in the water reservoir part 6, a porous body 30 which rotates together with the rotator 25, and a rotating motor 23 driving the rotator 25. The water crushing means pump up hot water in the water reservoir part 6 with the rotation of the rotator 25, splash the hot water on the porous body 30 and crush the hot water to generate micro-droplets and negative ions. The sauna device executes the sauna operation by feeding the micro-droplets and negative ions into a sauna room 2. After the sauna operation is finished, the water crushing means 23 is stopped and the drain valve 13 is opened. After draining hot water within the water reservoir part 6, a drying mode to drive a fan 35 and an air heating means 44 is executed, and the water crushing means 23 is driven during the drying mode.COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT【課題】確実に乾燥を行い、清潔な状態を保つことができるサウナ装置を提供する。【解決手段】貯水部6の水を加熱する加熱手段9と、貯水部6内の水を排水する排水管12と、排水管12の開閉を行う排水弁13とを備え、さらに、貯水部6に貯留する水に下部を水没させた回転体25と、回転体25と共に回転する多孔体30と、回転体25を駆動させる回転用モータ23とで構成され、貯水部6の温水を回転体25の回転により汲み上げ多孔体30にぶつけて破砕して微細水滴及びマイナスイオンを生成する水破砕手段23、25、30を備え、微細水滴及びマイナスイオンをサウナ室2内に供給するサウナ運転を行うもので、サウナ運転終了後には、水破砕手段23を停止させると共に、排水弁13を開弁させ、貯水部6内の温水の排水終了後に、送風機35及び空気加熱手段44を駆動させる乾燥モードを行い、乾燥モード中に水破砕手段23を駆動させるようにした。【選択図】 図13
