Description

  The present invention relates to a deodorizing material that is most suitable for removing fats and oils and odorous components contained in combustion gas, and a range hood fan including the deodorizing material.

In recent years, electric cooking stoves and electromagnetic cookers that do not generate toxic gases such as combustion gas have been demanded instead of gas combustion appliances for cooking appliances provided in kitchens.
A range hood fan is installed above the heating appliance to suck in the generated smoke and odors and discharge them outdoors. However, if indoor air that has been air-conditioned is exhausted, air-conditioning energy loss occurs, saving energy. There was also a problem from the viewpoint.
Further, in recent years, with the progress of airtightness in houses, if a large amount of room air is discharged outdoors, a pressure difference is generated in the room, which makes it difficult to open and close the door.
So, by capturing oil smoke and odor generated from cooking utensils that do not generate combustion gas, grease filters (woven fabric such as glass wool and nonwoven fabric filters, synthetic resin filters made of polyester, lath net, slot filter, punching metal, etc. It is equipped with a continuous porous foam with an inorganic ion adsorption type deodorizing element attached to the downstream as a deodorizing material, and the air to be deodorized indoors. A circulating range hood fan has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By the way, the deodorizing material simply adsorbs and removes oils and fats and odor components in the continuous pores of the foam.
Therefore, the foam is clogged in a short period of time, so that the adsorption performance cannot be maintained, the deodorization performance cannot be continued for a long time, and cleaning must be repeated frequently.
JP 11-125444 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described conventional circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a deodorizing material for a range hood fan capable of maintaining the deodorizing performance over a long period of time and a range hood fan including the deodorizing material. It is in.

The inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive research on removing fats and oils and odorous components with a range hood fan, hydrolyzing the fats and oils and odorous components adsorbed on the surface of the hydrous magnesium silicate by their own catalytic action. As a result, the present inventors have found that deodorization is performed and have arrived at the present invention.
That is, the present invention is a deodorizing material for a range hood fan disposed in an air flow path of a range hood fan that sucks and exhausts the rising airflow generated from a cooking utensil that does not generate combustion gas, and includes hydrous magnesium silicate clay Mainly containing minerals, the hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral adsorbs moisture, fats and oils and odor components contained in the updraft when in contact with the updraft, and the hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral itself catalyzes its fat and oil content. A deodorizing material for a range hood fan characterized by hydrolyzing an odor component (claim 1).
The ascending airflow generated by cooking contains a lot of moisture, fats and oils, odor components and the like. When contacting and passing through a deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral, the moisture, fats and oils, and odorous components are adsorbed in the micropores formed in the deodorizing material, and the adsorbed fats and oils and smell The components are deodorized by hydrolysis with the hydrous magnesium silicate.
The deodorizing material mainly composed of this hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral is a deodorizing tool constructed by stacking the small pieces so that the updraft can be ventilated. It can be proposed as an example of the use of such arrangement.

And as a deodorizing material which has a hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral as a main component, it is suitable to use what has a continuous porous structure (Claim 2). The continuous pore structure of honeycomb vents can ensure a large deodorizing surface area without increasing the aeration pressure loss, thus improving the fat and oil adsorption performance and increasing the contact area of the fat and oil. Can be promoted.
However, in the case of the continuous porous structure of the honeycomb vent holes, if they are arranged close to each other in a multi-stage shape, the flow rate becomes regular and the contact rate with the deodorizing material surface decreases. Therefore, it is preferable to arrange in a multistage manner with a required interval.

And a higher deodorizing performance can be exhibited by arrange | positioning a grease filter in the upstream of the said deodorizing material which has a hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral as a main component (Claim 3).
This grease filter has a woven fabric such as glass wool, a nonwoven fabric filter, a synthetic resin filter made of polyester, a lath net, a slot, etc., which is disposed on the most upstream side where the ascending air current strikes upon receiving the suction action of the exhaust device Examples of such a filter include a metal filter such as a filter and punching metal.
The amount of generated updraft varies depending on the amount of oil used by the user. Therefore, when Chinese dishes and fried foods that use a lot of oil are frequently used, it is expected that the amount of oil and fat adsorbed will exceed the hydrolysis performance of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral. In addition, if dust from indoors or clothing adheres, the cleaning and replacement cycle may be shortened.
In consideration of this, the grease filter is arranged upstream of the deodorizing material so as to capture oil and fat and dust, and its deodorizing composition mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral. It is also effective to use the material for a longer period of time.
When arranged downstream of the grease filter, it is appropriate that the continuous pores are in the honeycomb vent hole, having 200 to 300 pores per inch ² . Those having finer honeycomb ventilation holes have a higher ventilation resistance and a higher possibility of clogging with oils and fats, so that a fan with high output must be used as the capacity of the blower used.

In addition, if an activated carbon filter is disposed downstream of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral in order to improve the deodorizing performance, the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and the grease filter are completely removed. It is effective for adsorbing odorous components that cannot be adsorbed to make the deodorization more complete (Claim 4).
And by making the activated carbon filter into a continuous porous structure, the adsorption efficiency is improved by increasing the contact area in the same way as the continuous pore formation of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral, and the filter replacement frequency is increased. (Claim 5).
As for the arrangement of the deodorizing material having the honeycomb structure mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and the activated carbon filter, when the activated carbon filter is in the honeycomb structure, if the activated carbon filter is in close proximity, the turbulent state does not occur and high adsorption is achieved. Efficiency is difficult to obtain. For this reason, it is desirable to arrange a required interval between each stage to generate air turbulence between them.

Further, instead of the grease filter described above, the deodorizing material having a continuous porous structure mainly composed of hydrated magnesium silicate clay mineral or a deodorized material strip mainly composed of hydrated magnesium silicate clay mineral can be used to vent upward airflow. It is also possible to use deodorizing tools that are stacked in such a manner (claims 6 and 7).
In this case, it is appropriate that the deodorizing material having a continuous porous structure has continuous pores in a random direction having a pore diameter of about 20 to 80 per inch ² .
In addition, in the case of deodorizing tools in which strips of deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral are stacked so that updraft can be ventilated, the continuous pores in random direction are naturally created by the weight of the strips. It is formed.

Further, the deodorizing material having a continuous porous structure mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and the activated carbon filter having a continuous porous structure are divided into a plurality of parts and are exchangeably accommodated in a single or a plurality of support frames. It is preferable to use (Claim 8).
The deodorizing material having a continuous porous structure or the activated carbon filter having a continuous porous structure may be a single large filter, but is bulky when a spare is stored. Therefore, what was divided | segmented into plurality is used. The continuous porous filter size is suitably about 100 to ²⁰⁰ cm ² .
Deodorizing materials and activated carbon filters mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral are relatively heavy due to the continuous porous structure. Therefore, it is preferable that the replacement work is simplified by being housed in a plurality of support frames.

And it will become suitable if a dust removal filter is arrange | positioned in the most downstream (Claim 9).
The deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and the activated carbon filter generate a small amount of dust. When an updraft is passed through the deodorizing material or activated carbon filter, the dust rises and is mixed with the purified air from the indoor exhaust port and discharged. In order to prevent this dust from flowing out into the room or the like, a dust removing filter is provided to allow a cleaner intake air to be exhausted into the room.

Further, it is preferable that a photocatalyst powder is mixed in a deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral, and the deodorizing material is irradiated with ultraviolet rays from a light source.
The photocatalyst powder has a property of decomposing oil and fat adhering thereto by irradiation with ultraviolet rays.
Therefore, decomposition of fats and oils is promoted by the optical medium powder, and indoor formaldehyde can also be decomposed.
For example, when a honeycomb-like deodorizing material is used, it is desirable to mix the photocatalyst powder in a material kneading step such as clay mineral. Then, ultraviolet rays are irradiated by a light source. As for the irradiation, it is better to avoid irradiation from one direction and to irradiate light to every corner of the vent hole using a reflecting plate or the like.

Preferably, the air flow path includes a circulation path for circulating and exhausting indoors and an exhaust path for exhausting to the outside, and can be switched to each flow path. .
When cooking using a strong odorous material such as garlic in Chinese or Italian cuisine, there is a possibility that sufficient deodorization cannot be performed. In order to solve such problems, the air flow path can be switched between an indoor circulation path and an outdoor exhaust path so that it can be exhausted outdoors without deodorizing when cooking with a strong smell. ing.
The flow channel can be switched arbitrarily by the user, and an odor detection means is provided so that the flow channel is automatically switched when an odor of a predetermined level or higher is detected.

  Further, it is preferable to include a fire detection means provided in the air flow path, and a flow path closing damper provided in the air flow path for closing the air flow path by detection of the fire detection means. (Claim 12). The fire detection means is means for detecting a fusing reaction such as a temperature sensor or a thermal fuse.

  And it is convenient if the deodorizing material which has at least the said hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral as a main component is replaceable by opening the front part of a food | hood main body (Claim 13).

As it is proved that about 95% or more of the deodorizing material with the main component is decomposed, the deodorizing material hydrolyzes the fat and odor components adsorbed by contact by its own catalytic action, so cleaning and replacement Thus, it is possible to provide a novel deodorizing material for a range hood that can be used for a long period of time without performing the above process.
(Claim 2) In addition, when the continuous porous structure is adopted, the adsorption hydrolysis area of the filter can be secured very large without increasing the aeration pressure loss, and the decomposition performance of odors and fats and oils can be enhanced.
(Claim 3) Further, when a grease filter is disposed upstream of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral, when the grease filter is used for dust, Chinese food or fried food adhering to the room or clothing. Since it is suitable for capturing a large amount of oil and fat, maintenance and management are simpler with fewer replacement and cleaning of deodorizing materials mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral.
(Claims 4 and 5) In addition, since the downstream activated carbon filter improves the deodorizing performance, the hydrophobic zeolite known as a high-performance deodorizing material has a high deodorizing rate as is apparent from experiments in the examples. On the other hand, even if the deodorizing performance of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral is slightly inferior, the deodorizing performance is higher than that of the hydrophobic zeolite by placing an activated carbon filter downstream. Can be obtained.
(Claim 8) Even if the deodorizing material or activated carbon mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral has a continuous porous structure and is relatively heavy, cleaning work and replacement work are easy.
(Claim 9) In addition, the dust removal filter removes dust generated from the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and activated carbon, and does not discharge the room and does not pollute the room.
(Claim 10) When a photocatalyst powder is mixed with a deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and the deodorizing material is irradiated with ultraviolet rays from a light source, the oil and fat content decomposition of the photoworking medium powder is performed. With the promoting action, the oil and fat removal efficiency can be improved.
(Claim 11) Further, when it is judged that cooking is too strong and it is not deodorized, the deodorizing material is exhausted outdoors without passing through the activated carbon filter, and the deodorizing material is protected from the situation. Can do.
(Claim 12) The ignition of the oil and fat adsorbed on the deodorizing material is prevented to prevent a fire.

  Table 1 shows the composition of salad oil most frequently used in cooking.

  Table 2 shows an experiment in which a deodorizing material (honeycomb structure) composed mainly of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral decomposes the main components (paltimic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid) contained in salad oil. Table 3 shows experimental data in which hydrophobic zeolite used as a deodorizing adsorbent decomposes the main components (paltimic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid) contained in the salad oil. Each is shown.

  Salad oil is mainly composed of glycerin and fatty acid, and the decomposition rate of palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, and linolenic acid, which are the main components of the fatty acid, was measured. Oleic acid and linoleic acid account for about 70% of the total fatty acids contained in salad oil.

According to this, deodorizing material (200-300 per inch ^2), which is mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral, whereas hydrophobic zeolite only has a linoleic acid decomposition rate of 20% or less in 7 days. The honeycomb structure having the air vents) was decomposed by about 95% or more by weight.
Hydrolysis is proved by generating a decomposition product on the surface of the deodorizing material 11, and the high decomposition rate is that the hydrous magnesium silicate has a surface area expansion function due to its continuous pore structure, and the adsorption performance of fats and oils and odor components. It is presumed to increase and promote hydrolysis.

As for odors, the deodorizing performance was measured by the “three-point comparative odor bag method” based on the malodor control method. This method consists of two odor bags filled with odorless air and odor generated when cooking the ingredients equivalent to five servings of pork vegetables using salad oil, and is based on hydrophobic zeolite and hydrous magnesium silicate.

The presence or absence of was determined.
Regarding the presence or absence of odor due to olfaction, the odor that passed through the hydrophobic zeolite was slightly weaker than that of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral.
Further, deodorization efficiency was also calculated. This is calculated from the difference in odor concentration before and after aeration of the deodorizing material mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral and the hydrophobic zeolite.

Table 4 shows deodorizing performance (deodorizing efficiency), and hydrophobic zeolite known as a high-performance deodorizing material has a deodorization rate of 96%, whereas continuous pores mainly composed of hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral. The deodorizing rate of the deodorizing material (200 to 300 honeycomb vents per inch ² ) was slightly low at 75%, but the deodorizing performance of the activated carbon filter with downstream continuous pores (honeycomb structure) The performance exceeding the deodorizing efficiency of hydrophobic zeolite of 98% was obtained.

  In addition, although each said experiment was performed about the hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral which mixed attapulgite and sepiolite, it is not limited to this, If it is a hydrous magnesium silicate clay mineral, the fats and oils approximated to the said implementation result It had fractionation performance and odor deodorization performance.
