It comprises a communication circuit 30 for processing signals, a power supply circuit 29 for operating the control means 28, and a keyboard 23.

  In the above configuration, the microcomputer 17 of the humidifier control means 7 waits for operation and stops until it receives a signal driven by a photocoupler or transistor as a switch means of the drive component 33.

  Further, the time setting timer 32 included in the control means 28 displays the current time by setting the current time, enables the setting of a future time, and allows the reserved operation timer control.

  In addition, a reservation time for which a future operation is to be started is set for the current time input and set from the keyboard 23. The input time data is written into the read / write memory (RAM) of the microcomputer 31 via the communication circuit 30.

  At the same time, the time setting timer 32 operates in accordance with an instruction from the microcomputer 31, calculates the difference between the current time and the reserved time, and starts timer counting. When the timer count ends, an end signal is automatically transmitted to the microcomputer 31.

  The received microcomputer 31 transmits an operation signal for operating the humidifying means 2 from the communication circuit 30 via the universal serial bus (USB) cable 24. Then, the control means 7 having the drive component 33 receives the operation signal, so that the drive component 33 is operated and the microcomputer 17 is operated, so that the humidifying operation can be realized at the reserved time.

  Further, by providing the control means 28 with the time setting timer 32, the control means 7 does not need to be provided with a communication circuit, and only the configuration of the drive component 33 is sufficient, so that the circuit configuration of the control means 7 can be reduced. is there.

  In addition, a reservation time for which a future stop start is set for the current time input and set from the keyboard 23 is set. The input time data is written into the read / write memory (RAM) of the microcomputer 31 via the communication circuit 30.

The control means 7 having the drive component 33 receives the stop signal, so that the drive component 33 is operated, the microcomputer 17 is operated, and the humidification stop can be realized at the reserved time.

  Furthermore, since the humidifying means 2 is preferably attached to the image monitor apparatus main body 1 so as to be small and light, it is more efficient to have a function on the multifunctional microcomputer 31 side.

  Further, as a method of further utilizing the time setting timer 32 and improving dry eye, when the humidifying means 2 receives an operation signal, the time setting timer 32 operates in response to an instruction from the microcomputer 31 and starts operation. Start counting the accumulated time. When the stop signal is received, the counting of the accumulated time is stopped and the accumulated time from the start of operation to the stop is instantaneously calculated. From the calculation result, as the specified time, 10% to 20% of the accumulated time is set as the remaining operation time, and the humidifying means 2 is not immediately stopped even when the stop signal is received. The humidification means 2 is stopped after the remaining residual operation. The purpose of the residual operation is that when the image monitor user sends a stop signal to stop the operation of the personal computer 21, it takes several minutes for the personal computer 21 to shut down. Since it is conceivable that the image monitor is being viewed in front of the apparatus main body 1, the eye cools down by continuously operating in order to reduce the burden on the eyes as much as possible.

  Furthermore, the reason for judging the specified time based on the accumulated operating time is that the fatigue level is different between the image monitor user who has worked for a long time and the image monitor user who has been working for a short time in the remaining operation for a certain time. Judgment is based on the accumulated time.

  Also, the reason why the set time is set to 10% to 20% of the total time is to stop the work basically when the image monitor operator stops it. There is a case of leaving the apparatus main body 1, and there is a possibility that waste of power may occur. If you look at the image monitor after 1 hour of work, you need to rest your eyes for about 10 minutes, so 10-20% is appropriate.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing wind speed setting and fluctuation operation when the humidifying air blowing speed of the image monitor humidifying device of Embodiment 7 of the present invention is changed, and FIG. 11 (a) shows the relationship between the air speed and the air blowing duration. FIG. 11 (b) is a graph showing the relationship between the operation control and operation method of the 1 / f fluctuation operation or the constant air volume operation and the operation method. FIG. 12 is a graph showing the wind speed setting and fluctuation operation when the humidifying air blowing speed of the image monitor humidifying device is changed. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the drive power source of the blower 6 is a DC motor 34, and the blower drive circuit 19 constituting the control means 7 is variable so that the output voltage can be changed by the control of the microcomputer 17. By using the DC power supply 35, the image monitor user can always change the output voltage of the variable DC power supply 35 by the microcomputer 17 during humidification air blowing to change the rotational speed of the DC motor 34 and thereby swing the wind speed of the humidification air blowing. The uncomfortable feeling felt by receiving a constant air flow can also be alleviated.

  Further, the variable DC power source 35 is constituted by a general voltage control type switching power source, and the microcomputer 17 has a D / A conversion power output type setting as a control output of the variable DC power source 35 of the microcomputer 17. 17 is configured so that the output voltage of the variable DC power supply 35 can be directly changed by software incorporated in the circuit 17.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 12, the blower air speed of the blower 6 that is controlled and shaken by the microcomputer 17 is as shown in FIG. 12, and the blower duration is inversely proportional to the wind speed intensity. It is programmed so as to be performed, and is set so that the humidified air blows in the range of 0 m to 1 m / second at which humans feel comfortable.

  In addition, if the humidifying air blowing operation duration is long, it is possible to secure a sufficient amount of humidification, but for the image monitor user, it starts to feel uncomfortable due to the excessive amount of humidification and at the same time consumes wasted power. In order to do so, a more comfortable environment is provided by blowing a breeze depending on the operation duration. The pattern for the operation duration is a constant constant air volume until 30 minutes after the start of operation, and fluctuates after 30 minutes. Then, one cycle is continued for 3 cycles.

  Furthermore, when the operation continues for 3 hours or more, the swaying wind is blown until it stops. Immediately after the start of operation, since the humidity around the image monitor apparatus main body 1 is low and the humidity needs to be increased rapidly, it is necessary to humidify the surroundings of the eyes of the monitor user with a constant air volume.

  In addition, since the amount of humidification around the monitor user can be secured to some extent after 30 minutes, the monitor user is changed to a pleasant fluctuation wind in order to start feeling uncomfortable.

  Furthermore, the reason for continuing the cycle for 3 cycles is that the operation is continued regardless of the presence or absence of the image monitor user. Therefore, when the image monitor user is absent, the air blown in the peripheral direction of the eyes is Since there is no obstacle, the entire room is humidified, so a wide range of humidification is performed. For this reason, in order to stabilize the humidity environment, the humidity environment is stabilized by controlling the flow rate to be constant for 3 cycles and the fluctuation air.

  In addition, since the humidity environment is stabilized after three cycles, the comfort is maintained by continuing the fluctuating wind, the humidity environment can be secured even with a small amount of air, and the power consumption can be further reduced.

FIG. 13 is a diagram showing the arrangement of the human body sensing means of the humidifying device for an image monitor according to the eighth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 13 (a) is a front view showing the arrangement of the human body sensing means of the humidifying device for the image monitor. FIG. 13B is a configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of the human body sensing means of the humidifier for the image monitor. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing human body sensing means of the humidifier for the image monitor. FIG. 14A is a block diagram showing the configuration of the human body sensing means of the image monitor humidifying device, and FIG. 14B is a graph showing the fluctuation operation with respect to the human body sensing time.

  As shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, a human body sensing means 36 for sensing the presence of an image monitor user in the air blowing direction is provided on the opening surface of the air blowing opening 9 of the humidifier shell 3, and this human body sensing means 36 is the presence of a human body. The humidifying unit 2 is configured to perform humidification air blowing when the image monitor is sensed, so that the humidification unit 2 can perform humidification air blowing only when the image monitor user actually uses the image monitor. .

  The human body sensing means 36 is constructed by a light reflecting / receiving human body sensing system in which an infrared light emitting diode element 37 and an infrared light receiving phototransistor 38 are combined, and the infrared light emitted by the infrared light emitting diode element 37 is detected. The reflected infrared light is reflected by the infrared light receiving phototransistor 38, and the infrared light receiving phototransistor 38 receives a voltage from the infrared light receiving phototransistor 38 to the microcomputer 17 constituting the control means 7 by receiving the infrared light. By outputting a signal, the microcomputer 17 is programmed to receive the voltage signal from the infrared light receiving phototransistor 38 so as to determine the presence of a human body and to perform humidified air blowing.

  Further, the light emission intensity of the infrared light emitting diode element 37 and the arrangement interval and angle between the infrared light receiving phototransistor 38 are experimentally determined based on the distance between the image monitor user who uses the actual image monitor and the image monitor. However, the automatic operation of the humidifying air blow based on the detection of the image monitor user who prevents the false detection operation by setting so as to detect the human body existing at an interval of about 60 cm or less with respect to the image surface of the image monitor. be able to.

  Moreover, a breeze is blown according to the time continuously sensed. If the sensing time is long, a sufficient amount of humidification can be ensured in a short time because the distance between the image monitor user and the humidifying means 2 is a narrow space of about 60 cm or less. Therefore, the area around the eyes regains moisture and becomes a comfortable environment, and the power consumption can be further reduced by changing the control to a fluctuating wind with less power consumption.

  Furthermore, if the distance between the image monitor user and the humidifying means 2 is a narrow space of about 60 cm or less, a sufficient amount of humidification can be secured by operating at a constant air volume for 30 minutes. Then, by quickly changing to a breeze, comfort can be maintained, a humidity environment can be ensured even with a small amount of air, and power consumption can be reduced.

(Embodiment 9)
FIG. 15 is a view showing a humidifying device for an image monitor according to Embodiment 9 of the present invention, and FIG. 15 (a) is a side view showing an inclination angle of the humidifying device for the image monitor, and FIG. FIG. 3 is a front view showing the arrangement of the tilt angle detecting means of the image monitor humidifying device.

  As shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), an inclination angle sensor 40 is provided on the upper portion of the air blowing opening 9 of the humidifying means 2 fixed to the notebook type personal computer 39, and the inclination angle sensor 40 is always used as an image monitor. The tilt angle is recognized by the normal tilt angle 41, the tilt angle control start level 42, and the tilt angle control end level 43.

  In the above configuration, the tilt angle sensor 40 is operated by closing the monitor of the main body 1 of the image monitor device 1 of the notebook personal computer 39 toward the keyboard, and the current tilt angle is determined. The amount of humidified air can be controlled.

Further, when the image monitor operator leaves the seat while the humidifying means 2 is in operation, the monitor of the image monitor device main body 1 of the notebook personal computer 39 is closed to the keyboard side.
It is a function as a safety device by forgetting to turn off the forgetting to stop.

  Furthermore, as a method, the operation of closing the monitor of the notebook type personal computer 39 to the keyboard side changes the humidifying air flow rate and changes the tilt angle, thereby supplying the humidifying air volume around the eyes of the monitor user. Since this is not possible, the control is to change and decrease the humidified air flow rate. Usually, the monitor angle of the notebook personal computer 39 of the user of the image monitor is generally used at a normal inclination angle 41 shown in FIG.

  In addition, the angle is smaller than 90 °, and the humidified air is not sent around the eyes of the image monitor user, but is sent to a base such as a desk supporting the notebook personal computer 39. Since it is considered that condensation occurs when the air is blown for a long time, the tilt angle control start level 42 is set to 90 °.

  Further, since the humidified air blows around the keyboard of the notebook personal computer 39, the electronic device wants to prevent moisture from entering, so that the air volume is reduced by gradually closing the tilt angle. As a relation between the inclination angle and the air flow rate, the total air volume is stopped when the inclination angle reaches 80 °. As a reason, usually, when looking at the monitor screen of the notebook personal computer 39, look down on the monitor screen. This is because it is difficult to operate while viewing the screen in an environment where the screen tilt is less than 80 °.

  Moreover, it set so that humidification ventilation might not hit directly around a keyboard. Then, the level is set as the tilt angle control end level 43.

  Further, since the angle from the tilt angle control start level 42 to the tilt angle control end level 43 is 10 °, the air flow rate every time the tilt angle is closed to the keyboard side to reduce the ability from 100% to 0%. Will be reduced by 10%.

  Further, when the tilt angle of the monitor exceeds a specified angle, it is determined that the air flow is abnormal and the air flow is stopped. The inclination angle determined to be abnormal is the inclination angle control end level 43, and when it becomes less than 80 °, the operation is immediately stopped to reduce the safety of the electronic device and the power that is wasted. To do.

  Furthermore, the condition for the operation return is that the operation return is started when the inclination angle of the inclination angle control end level 43 becomes 80 ° or more. Finally, it is set as the structure which ensures safety | security by making it impossible to return to operation by power reset.
