Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a gas processing apparatus that raises the concentration of negative ions of a gas or removes germs, dust, odor components and the like in the gas by bringing a gas such as air into contact with the mist.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In urban areas, the ratio of negative ions and cations in the air is usually said to be about the same, but by placing yourself in an environment where the concentration of negative ions is high, fatigue recovery effects, mental stability effects, blood purification effects, It is widely known that medical effects such as resistance enhancement effect and autonomic nerve adjustment effect can be obtained.
[0003]
Therefore, in order to artificially increase the concentration of negative ions, air is introduced into the processing chamber in which the mist atmosphere is formed, and the concentration of negative ions in the air is increased by bringing the air and mist into contact with each other. Has been known for a long time (for example, French Patent No. 1245534, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-58755, Japanese Patent Publication No. 7-62534, Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-62534, August 22, 1960, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. No. 262023, JP-A-8-66456, Japanese Patent No. 2570632, etc. More specifically, this type of device utilizes a phenomenon in which the concentration of ions in the air increases when water breaks up and breaks into fine water droplets (mist). This phenomenon has been known as an empirical fact that the place where water ruptures and mist occurs due to natural phenomena such as the waterfalls and the seaside shores is good for the body since ancient times, but theoretically at the beginning of this century Nobel physicist P.C. When Dr. Lenard collides with a metal plate and splits, ions are generated in the nearby air, and the sum of the charge amount of the split water drops is greater than the amount of electricity in the first water drop. It has come to be recognized as the so-called “Leonard effect”, which proves that the sum of the charges of the generated ions and the amount of electricity of the water droplets increased by the splitting are equal.
[0004]
On the other hand, by introducing outside air into the processing chamber that generated the mist atmosphere and bringing the outside air into contact with the mist, the mist captures and removes gas germs, dust, odor components, etc., and then removes the outside air outside the processing chamber. The discharge technology has also been known for a long time as a wet dust collector (for example, JP-A-52-58274, JP-A-56-16042, JP-A-56-119434, JP-A-57-44897, JP-A-58-84019, JP-A-62-61615, JP-A-8-89739, etc.).
[0005]
As described above, by introducing the outside air into the processing chamber that generated the mist atmosphere and bringing the outside air and the mist into contact with each other, the concentration of the negative ions in the gas is increased or the components such as bacteria, dust, and odor are removed. A gas processing means for discharging the treated outside air to the outside of the processing chamber after performing the above is known.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
By the way, as described above, it is possible to increase the concentration of negative ions of gas by bringing outside air and mist into contact with each other, or to remove germs, dust, odor components, etc., but in a gas processing apparatus that realizes these functions, A mist generator is provided in a processing chamber having an inlet and an outlet for outside air, and air is pumped from the inlet to the outlet. In this case, the processing chamber must have a sufficient volume because the mist must be sufficiently brought into contact with the outside air. Therefore, unlike a normal air conditioner in which the path from the inlet to the outlet is narrowed, it is sufficient. There is a tendency that static pressure cannot be obtained. For this reason, there is a problem in that the air carrying capacity is low, air that removes germs, dust, odor components, and the like and has a high concentration of negative ions does not sufficiently reach the room from the gas processing apparatus.
[0007]
As a means for generating a mist atmosphere, a method using a rotating body that scatters water in a mist form is generally used in addition to a method in which water jetted from a nozzle collides with a collision plate. The particle size of the mist is likely to vary, and accordingly, there is a problem that the negative ion generation effect and the trapping effect of germs, dust, odor components, etc. are impaired.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present invention was created for the purpose of providing a gas treatment device that solves the above-described problems of the prior art, and the outside air is pumped through a rotating body that scatters the water pumped up from the water storage section in a mist form. The first cleaning cylinder is provided by arranging a plurality of cleaning cylinders that generate a cyclonic airflow by rotating in the cylinder, and by aligning the rotation direction of the rotating body in each of the cleaning cylinders and communicating the cleaning cylinders with each other. The outside air pressure-fed to is sequentially introduced into each cleaning cylinder, and is discharged from the last cleaning cylinder as saturated air containing mist.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a casing of a gas processing apparatus, and a plurality of cleaning cylinders 10 and 12 in which a rotating body 5 </ b> A (5 </ b> B) rotates are arranged in the casing. Is used as a water storage part for storing water W in which the lower part of the rotating body is immersed.
[0010]
In this embodiment, as the rotating body 5A (5B), a rotating body whose diameter increases upward is used. Specifically, the rotating cone 5A has an inverted conical cylindrical shape with the lower part cut off and the increase in diameter stopped at the upper part. Is adopted. The rotating body 5A (5B) has an action of forming and scattering a thin film of water sequentially along the outer periphery by immersing the lower part in the water W and rotating. That is, by immersing the lower part of the rotating body 5A (5B), which is a solid, in water, wettability due to contact with water can be obtained, and the contacted water crawls up from the water line on the surface of the rotating body. Since the diameter of 5A (5B) increases upward, it further spreads radially and uniformly on the outer peripheral surface of the rotating body by centrifugal force due to rotation, and as a result, a thin film is formed upward. Become. And the thin film of water formed toward the upper side is scattered around by centrifugal force, and then the thin film is formed in sequence, so that a phenomenon occurs in which the water is pumped up and scattered by the rotating body. It becomes.
[0011]
Further, a collision body 7A (7B) through which water and air can pass is arranged in a cylindrical shape around the rotating body 5A (5B). Thereby, the water scattered by the rotation of the rotating body 5A (5B) collides with the collision body 7A (7B) and is scattered to generate mist. Here, a mesh-like screen is adopted as the collision body 7A (7B). However, for example, a large number of vertical columns may be arranged in a cylindrical shape at a fine interval. The collision body 7A (7B) is arranged as a cylinder by being wound around the outer periphery of the mounting seat 6A (6B) projecting like a bowl from above the rotating body 5A (5B) (see FIG. 2).
[0012]
The rotating body 5A (5B) described above is rotatably extrapolated from the bottom of the casing 1 of the gas treatment device to the boss 2A protruding beyond the draft of the water storage section, and is also inserted into the motor 3A (3B) that passes through the boss. ) Is driven to rotate by a motor. In this case, the rotating bodies 5A and 5B must be rotated in the same direction. In addition, the code | symbol 8A (8B) in the figure is a cover body with a nut for fixing the rotating body 5A (5B) and a rotating shaft by screwing to said rotating shaft 4A (4B).
[0013]
In this embodiment, there are two cleaning cylinders, the first cleaning cylinder 10 and the second cleaning cylinder 12, and the rotating bodies 5A and 5B are accommodated in the respective cleaning cylinders. Each of the cleaning cylinders has a ceiling portion at the top, and the lower portion opened is immersed in water W stored in the water storage portion, thereby forming a space closed inside. The first cleaning cylinder 10 and the second cleaning cylinder 12 are partially communicated with each other through the communication passage 9 (see FIG. 3). In the figure, reference numeral 11 denotes an outside air inlet opening in the ceiling of the first cleaning cylinder 10, and 13 denotes an outside air outlet opening in the ceiling of the second cleaning cylinder 12, and the outside air inlet appropriately from the blower mechanism. The outside air is pumped to 10.
[0014]
The principle of operation of the gas processing apparatus of the present invention having the above-described configuration is as follows.
(1) The outside air introduced from the upper part of the first cleaning cylinder 10 scatters in the diameter direction from the periphery of the rotator 5A, and simultaneously rotates in a cyclone with water droplets scattered in the rotation direction. As a result, a mist atmosphere containing anions is formed in the cleaning cylinder, and dust and odor components in the air are captured by the mist.
(2) Although the introduced air rotates in a cyclone shape, the static pressure is increased. However, the air introduced into the second cleaning cylinder 12 further includes a rotating body 5B that rotates in the same direction as the rotating body of the first cleaning cylinder 10 as it is. It is drawn in through the passage 9. As a result, the static air is further increased, and the outside air that has been processed without decreasing the air volume is discharged to the outside as saturated air containing mist.
(3) In the second cleaning cylinder 12, the same action as that in the first cleaning cylinder 10 is realized with respect to the generation of anions and the capture of dust and odor components, but the variation in particle size is caused by generating the mist twice. The generation of more stable anions is realized by reducing as much as possible, and dust and odor components that could not be captured in the first cleaning cylinder are also captured.
[0015]
In this embodiment, by providing a cylindrical collision body 14 through which water and air can pass through the upper part of the second cleaning cylinder 12, mist having a certain particle size or more is discharged from the discharge port 13. Is blocking. In this embodiment, two cleaning cylinders are exemplified, but the number of cleaning cylinders may be more than that, and according to the experiment of the present applicant, when three cleaning cylinders are arranged in a triangular shape. Good results in the production of negative ions.
[0016]
【The invention's effect】
According to the gas treatment of the present invention having the above-described configuration, firstly, the pumped outside air is further rotated in a cyclone form and sequentially sent from the first cleaning cylinder to the second cleaning cylinder. The air is discharged with the pressure maintained, and air containing negative ions is distributed to every corner of the room, and purification without a dead zone is realized.
[0017]
Secondly, since the outside air treated with the first washing cylinder is further treated with the second washing cylinder, the dispersion of mist particle size is corrected, and a stable negative ion generation effect can be obtained. The capturing effect of components and the like is improved, and in particular, the deodorizing effect is significantly improved.
[0018]
Third, as a result of the contact between the mist and air twice for the same reason as described above, nearly 100% saturated air can be obtained.
