Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for removing odor and harmful gases which is most suitable for patients with chemical sensitivity and sick house syndrome.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in addition to changes in housing styles, due to dirt in the open air and the like, many people have been unable to open their windows.
For example, odors such as toilet odor, garbage odor, tobacco odor, body odor, pet odor, pesticides, insecticides, indoor building materials, lining,
Odors and harmful gases generated from tatami mats and furniture have become problems.

[0003] In particular, many products close to life are made of chemical substances, and in response to gas generated from such products, chemicals which complain of symptoms such as cough, nausea, eczema, asthma, atopy, headache, etc. Response to patients with substance hypersensitivity and sick house syndrome has become a major social problem.

[0004] As a device for removing such bad smell and harmful gas,
A deodorizing apparatus using ceramics as an adsorbing material for adsorbing bad odors and harmful gases has been developed (Japanese Patent No. 29832).
No. 01).

In this deodorizing device, a cartridge containing ceramics is housed in a hollow deodorizing device main body having a fan at a lower portion, air is sucked into the deodorizing device main body from a lower portion by a fan, and the inside of the cartridge is removed. The air is exhausted from the upper part of the deodorizing device main body through, and the deodorizing device main body and the cartridge are formed of plastic.

[0006]

According to the above-mentioned conventional deodorizing apparatus, the odor and harmful gas are adsorbed to the ceramics and removed, so that the odor can be deodorized. Because the cartridge that is made of plastic is made of plastic, it reacts to gas generated from chemical substances, coughing, nausea, eczema, asthma, atopy,
There was a problem that it could not be used for patients with chemical hypersensitivity complaining of symptoms such as headache and sick house syndrome.

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus for removing odor and harmful gases which is particularly suitable for patients with chemical sensitivity and sick house syndrome.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, an odor and harmful gas removing apparatus according to the present invention has an intake port and an exhaust port, and is provided with a blowing means for performing forced intake and exhaust inside. An adsorbent material for adsorbing odors and harmful gases is housed in a housing made of an inorganic material such as ceramics, porcelain or glass.

According to this structure, since the housing for housing the adsorbing material is made of an inorganic material such as porcelain, porcelain, glass, etc., patients with chemical sensitivity or sick house syndrome may be affected by chemical substances such as plastics. In the molding of the housing, especially when the housing is made of porcelain or porcelain, the harmful substances dissolved in the soil are gasified and released to the atmosphere during the firing of the soil, which is the raw material of the housing. To
It is possible to obtain an odor and harmful gas removing device that minimizes leaching gas from the ceramic / porcelain housing itself.

It is preferable that the ceramic or porcelain housing is fired at a temperature of 1200 ° C. or higher.

By firing a ceramic or porcelain casing at a temperature of 1200 ° C. or more, the harmful components dissolved in the soil are more reliably gaseous and diffused. It is possible to obtain an odor and harmful gas removing device with almost no leachable gas from itself.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of an odor / harmful gas removing apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a cylindrical housing main body, 2 denotes a blower storing chamber formed at a lower portion of the housing main body 1,
An electric fan 4 is provided as a blowing unit 3 in the blowing unit storage chamber 2. 5 is a motor for rotating the electric fan 4, and 6 is a power cord.

The lower cylindrical wall 7 of the housing body 1 has an intake port 8 communicating with the inside of the blower housing 2.
In the housing main body 1, a partition plate 9 is provided above the blowing means storage chamber 2, and an adsorbing material storage section 10 for storing an intake material described later is provided above the partition plate 9.

The partition plate 9 is provided with the blower storage chamber 2.
A plurality of communication holes 11 are formed to communicate the and the adsorption material storage unit 10. The adsorbing material storage unit 10 has an open top, and a lid 12 is detachably attached to the opening. The cover 12 has a plurality of exhaust ports 13 formed therein. When the electric fan 4 is driven, air is sucked from the air inlet 8 into the blower storing chamber 2, and the air enters the adsorbing material storing section 10 through the communication hole 11 formed in the partition plate 9. The air is exhausted from an exhaust port 13 formed in the lid 12.

Numeral 14 denotes an adsorbent material stored in the adsorbent material storage unit 10, and 15 an adsorbent material for preventing the adsorbent material 14 from dropping into the blower means storage chamber 2 from the communication hole 11 formed in the partition plate 9. Further, it is a highly breathable organic cotton cloth laid on the partition plate 9.

The housing body 1 configured as described above is formed of an inorganic material such as ceramic, porcelain, or glass.
When the inorganic material is ceramic or porcelain, it is preferably fired at a temperature of 1200 ° C. or higher, but is not limited to this.

Further, as the adsorbing material 14, a ceramic adsorbing material is used. Regarding ceramic adsorbing materials, conventional adsorbing materials (Japanese Patent No. 29832)
No. 01) is used.

With the above construction, the housing body 1 for housing the adsorbing material is made of an inorganic material such as ceramics, porcelain, glass or the like. The harmful substances which do not have the same influence as the substance and which are dissolved in the soil during the process of firing the soil, which is the raw material of the housing body 1 when the housing body 1 is made of ceramic or porcelain in the molding of the housing body 1 Since the gas is gasified and released into the atmosphere, the amount of gas leached from the ceramic / porcelain housing body 1 itself is minimized. And 12 pottery and porcelain
If it is fired at a temperature of 00 ° C. or more, the harmful components dissolved in the soil will be more reliably released as gas, and the leaching gas from the ceramic or porcelain housing body 1 itself will be almost zero. There is no state.

[0020]

As described above, according to the odor and harmful gas removing apparatus according to the present invention, a ceramic / porcelain porcelain having an intake port and an exhaust port, and provided with an air blowing means for performing forced intake and exhaust. By adopting a configuration in which an adsorbent material that adsorbs odors and harmful gases is stored in a housing made of an inorganic material such as glass, the housing that stores the adsorbent material is made of an inorganic material such as ceramic, porcelain, or glass. Therefore, it is possible to obtain a device for removing odor and harmful gas which does not affect a patient with chemical sensitivity or sick house syndrome like a chemical such as plastic and minimizes leaching gas from the housing itself.
