Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a simple dehumidifier used in general households, offices, etc., and more particularly to a dehumidifier that can be installed and used in a small gap.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the efficiency of air conditioning and energy saving,
Or from the viewpoint of noise countermeasures, air-tightening of general houses and offices is being pursued, and along with this, the generation of mold caused by humidity and other problems have become new problems. For this reason, a dehumidifier in which a dehumidifying agent such as calcium chloride is enclosed in a synthetic resin container and the upper end opening of the container is covered with a moisture-permeable impermeable sheet has been widely used.

However, the dehumidifier of such a form has a box-shaped container having a certain size, and requires a corresponding space as a place for installation. Therefore, for example, when using it for a closet to store a futon or a Japanese dance, it is necessary to pay attention not only to secure the installation space, but also when removing the futon from the closet, the dehumidifier is caught on the futon and pulled out. , In some cases, it falls down and is damaged.

For this reason, a cardboard envelope-shaped container having a vent is provided with a dehumidifying agent storage bag having at least one surface formed of a moisture-permeable, water-impermeable sheet, and the open end thereof is hermetically sealed. It has been proposed to use a flat dehumidifier having such a structure by inserting it into the narrow installation space.

[0005]

However, even in such a dehumidifier, since the vent hole is formed on the upper wall surface of the envelope-like container, it directly faces the stored items such as the futon and the like. When these stored items were in contact with the upper wall surface, they were blocked, and the outside air often did not sufficiently flow into the container. Further, in such a narrow gap, air convection often occurs along the wall surface of the installation space, so if the vent hole is formed on the wall surface of the envelope-like container,
The convection could not be efficiently flowed into the dehumidifier.

Therefore, dehumidification that is not sufficiently active may not be carried out, and further improvements have been desired.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the above problems can be solved as follows.

That is, according to the present invention, a container body having a flat rectangular tube portion with a vent hole opened in a top plate, a dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table inserted in the rectangular tube portion, and the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table. And a dehumidifying agent storage bag having at least one surface formed of a moisture-permeable, non-water-permeable sheet.
In the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table, a corrugated cardboard piece has a predetermined width in a direction in which a space formed by the corrugated central paper opens toward the square tube opening end side at both ends corresponding to the square tube opening end side of the table sheet. A dehumidifier in which the corrugated cardboard piece is closed at the open end of the square tube portion so that the outside air can pass through the gap formed by the wavy center paper and flow into the container. is there.

[0009]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a typical embodiment of the dehumidifier of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line AA of this dehumidifier.

In the dehumidifier (1), the container body (2)
Has a flat rectangular tube portion (5) having a vent hole (4) opened in the top plate (3). The top plate (3) has a rectangular tube portion (5).
One side of the long side extends, and is connected to the top plate (3 ′) of the rectangular tube portion (5 ′) arranged next to each other through the connecting portion (6). In the present invention, the container main body (1) is preferably formed by arranging two square tubular portions side by side in this manner, but it may be formed by one square tubular portion, or three or more square tubular portions are arranged side by side. It may be configured with.

The shape and number of the ventilation holes (4) are not particularly limited, and may be circular or elliptical so as to have a sufficient aperture ratio.

In the container body (2), a corner portion of the square tube portion is bent back inward to prevent a dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) described later from falling off. 8) is preferably formed.

A sheet-shaped dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) is inserted in the rectangular tube portion (5). A dehumidifying agent storage bag (9) made of a moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet is placed on the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7).

The entire surface of the dehumidifying agent storage bag (9) does not have to be formed of the moisture-permeable, water-impermeable sheet, and at least one surface may be formed of the material. Preferably, the surface of the rectangular tube portion (5) having the vent holes (4) facing the top plate (3) is formed of the moisture-permeable, water-impermeable sheet.

As the dehumidifying agent (10) stored in the dehumidifying agent storing bag (7), a deliquescent dehumidifying agent such as calcium chloride is used.

The greatest feature of the present invention is that the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) has a base sheet (11) on both side ends of the square tube portion which are in contact with the open end (12) side.
Is affixed with a predetermined width so that the void (14) formed by the corrugated center paper is opened toward the opening end (12) of the rectangular tube portion. Here, as the corrugated cardboard, a known corrugated cardboard made of a paperboard in which a corrugated central paper is laminated inside a cardboard can be used without limitation. The corrugated cardboard piece (13) closes the open end (12) of the rectangular tube portion so that the outside air can pass through the space (13) formed by the corrugated center paper and flow into the container.

According to the dehumidifier (1) having such a structure,
Since the corrugated cardboard piece (13) is fitted to the opening end (12) of the rectangular tube portion, the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) is firmly fixed to the rectangular tube portion (5) by its resistance. . That is, even if the dehumidifier (1) is tilted or slightly vibrated, the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) is unlikely to be displaced or fall out from the rectangular tube portion (5). . Further, since the corrugated cardboard piece (13) also functions as a reinforcing material for the opening end (12) of the rectangular tube portion, even if some stress is applied from above the top plate (3), the deformation of this portion is extremely large. Hard to happen.

In addition, according to the above structure, the outside air is taken into the inside of the container at the time of use not only from the vent hole (4) but also from each opening end (12) of the square tube portion (5). Convection that flows along the wall surface of the installation space of the dehumidifier (1) flows through the gap (14) formed by the corrugated central paper, and is actively performed. The taken-in outside air comes into contact with the dehumidifying agent (10) such as calcium chloride in the dehumidifying agent storage bag (9) through the moisture permeable and water impermeable sheet to be absorbed. Thus, in the dehumidifier (1), the dehumidifying effect is also extremely high due to the synergistic effect of the inflow of the outside air from the vent hole (4) and the opening end (12), that is, the inflow of the outside air in the vertical direction and the lateral direction. It will be excellent.

Further, according to the dehumidifier (1), when the dehumidifier (1) is inserted into a narrow space, even if the vent hole (4) is blocked by the contact of the stored items, the opening end ( Due to the inflow of outside air from 12), dehumidification of the installation space can be performed at a high level.

In the present invention, the corrugated cardboard piece (13) is simply attached to the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) at the side end on the side of the open end (12) of the rectangular tube portion in the base sheet (11). However, it is preferable to provide the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table in a mode as shown in FIG. 3 (a front view showing a state in which the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table is pulled out from the rectangular tube portion). That is, the cardboard piece (13)
After being fastened inward by a predetermined width from the edge of the base sheet (11) on the side of the open end (12) of the rectangular tube portion, the notch (15) provided in the lower thick paper and the wavy center paper is folded. As the above, it is preferable to provide a two-layer structure having the same width as the above and being folded back to the end side.

In this case, the corrugated cardboard piece (13) is more firmly fitted to the open end (12) of the rectangular tube portion (5) by the strong repulsive force of opening the folded corrugated cardboard piece (16) upward. To meet. Therefore, the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7)
The removal prevention effect and the deformation prevention effect of are highly exerted. Also, by stacking corrugated board pieces in two layers,
The amount of outside air flowing into the container from here also increases.

The dehumidifying agent storage bag (8) is provided at an arbitrary position on the base sheet (11) of the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) and at a position corresponding to the position on the bottom plate of the square tube portion (5). It is preferable to additionally provide a window part (17) for knowing the state of moisture absorption by the dehumidifying agent (10) therein. As the information on the moisture absorption status, for example, liquid level information of deliquescent liquid such as calcium chloride, or color development information when a substance that develops a specific color by deliquescing liquid or a liquid absorbing substance of deliquescent liquid is mixed with calcium chloride, etc. can give. Further, it is more preferable that the bag surface facing the window portion (17) of the dehumidifying agent storage bag (9) is made of a transparent sheet so that the information on the moisture absorption state can be easily visually recognized.

When it is judged from the window (16) that the residual capacity of the dehumidifying agent (10) has decreased, the dehumidifying agent storage bag mounting table (7) is pulled out from the rectangular tube portion (5) to remove the dehumidifying agent. The dehumidifying agent storage bag (9) placed on the agent storage bag placing table (7) may be replaced with a new one to continue dehumidification.

The dehumidifier (1) having the above structure may be used for dehumidifying any space, but the more effective it is in a narrower space, the more excellent the effect of the dehumidifying performance of the present invention is. Is. Specifically, it is laid on the bottom plate of a storage space where relatively lightweight articles are stored, such as between the futon and the bottom plate in the closet or between the clothes and the bottom plate in the drawer of the Japanese dance, In the storage space, it is preferable to stand upright between the article and the side wall.

A top plate (3) as shown in FIG.
When two (5) and (5 ') square cylinders are arranged side by side along the long side of (3'), the illustrated form, that is, the top plates (3) and (3 ') are horizontally arranged. In addition to being used in the unfolded state, the top plate (3) (3 ') has two connecting parts (6) that connect the two-sided tubular parts, and the two-sided tubular parts (5) (5') are stacked. May be used in.

Further, as shown in a perspective view showing another usage mode of FIG. 4, a connecting portion (6) connecting the top plates (3) and (3 ′) to the both-sided tubular portions is used, and an arbitrary angle, preferably an angle. It is also a preferable mode to bend the lens at a right angle and to use it by standing it at a corner or the like in the closet.
