JP 2006-266668 A

  In the invention described in Patent Document 1, a heating / humidifying unit 10 is formed by a heat source 1 (reference numeral of Patent Document 1, the same applies hereinafter) and a humidifying member 2 200 provided on the front surface of the heat source 1. The heating / humidifying unit 10 includes a heat insulating plate 3 that covers both sides of the heat source 1 and the humidifying members 2 and 200 except for the upper surface and the front surface, and a rear surface, and a heat insulating sheet 4 that can be opened and closed on the upper surface. Further, the humidifying members 2 and 200 are made of a fibrous material and are provided with a plurality of air passages so as to be impregnated in the water supplied to the water receiver 5 to contain water. The air warmed by the heat source 1 is released into the room with moisture evaporated from the humidifying member 2,200 and maintains a constant temperature and humidity.

  In the invention of Patent Document 1, when the air heated by the heat source 1 is discharged into the room through the humidifying member 2, the heated air is vaporized from the air passage of the humidifying member 2 200 The room is discharged into the room to warm and humidify the room, and unlike the conventional method, the entire indoor space can be maintained at a constant temperature and humidity. In addition, since warmed air is heated and humidified to fill the room with air that has a comfortable humidity due to the rising force, condensation does not occur without pushing cold and humid air into the corners of the room. It can be prevented.

  As described in the background art section of Patent Document 1, the mechanism of the drying phenomenon and the dew condensation occurrence phenomenon when a heater is used indoors is when heating is performed using a heater and a humidifier together. However, the reason why the room temperature and humidity cannot be kept constant is that the moisture generated from the humidifier does not mix evenly into the air, while the warmed air accelerates moisture. Since it loses and expands and continues to press the moist air, the moist air enters the corners of the room or the backside of the furniture, etc., and causes dew condensation.

  The invention described in Patent Document 1 discharges moisture evaporated when air passes through the air passages of the humidifying members 2 and 200 to perform indoor air conditioning. The humidifying members 2 and 200 receive water. The water in the container 5,500 is contained in the whole fiber material by capillary action.

  Patent Document 1 proposes a humidifying member 200 that can be moved up and down in the water receiver 500, so that the amount of moisture released into the room can be adjusted. However, in order to increase the room temperature in a short time, it is necessary to include moisture in the entire humidifying member 200. In this case, since the water contained by capillary action tends to be insufficient, the humidifying member A procedure is required such that the water 200 is submerged in a water receiver, sufficiently filled with water, and then lifted. Therefore, the proposed apparatus may be time-consuming when it is desired to quickly raise the room temperature, which is not a drawback but a problem to be solved.

  An object of the present invention is to maintain the room temperature and humidity at the time of the operation stop after stopping the operation of the heat source as well as being able to maintain the entire indoor space at a constant temperature and a constant humidity. Is to provide.

  The first of the solving means is that the humidifying unit is formed of a heat source and a humidifying member, and the humidifying member is formed by continuously arranging a plurality of humidifying plate members formed in a circular shape in a side view with appropriate intervals. The lower half of the humidifying member is immersed in the water supplied to the water receiver, and a heat shield lid that can be opened and closed is provided on the upper surface of the humidifying unit. The size of the space area formed between the heat shield lid and the heating and humidifying unit can be adjusted, and the air passing through the heat source is discharged into the room with moisture evaporated from the humidifying member. It is what.

  The second of the solving means is that in the first of the solving means, the humidifying member has an air passage formed by a gap formed between the boss portion of the humidifying plate member constituting the humidifying member and another adjacent humidifying plate member. It is formed.

  The third of the solving means is the second of the solving means, wherein the humidifying plate member is formed by a humidifying member core plate and a humidifying member jacket covering the humidifying member core plate, and the humidifying member jacket is likely to contain water. It is characterized by being formed of a fibrous material, preferably natural fibers such as linen or cotton.

  According to a fourth solution, in the first solution, the heat shield lid is formed between the heat shield lid and the heating / humidifying unit by attaching the base end portion so as to be freely opened and closed by a hinge. It is characterized in that the size of the space area can be adjusted.

  5th of the solution means in 4th of a solution means WHEREIN: While a heat-insulation lid | cover is provided with the latching metal fitting with a hinge at the top part, and provided with a several latching hole in this latching metal metal, the said latching hole It is possible to adjust the size of the space area formed between the heat shield lid and the heating and humidifying unit by selecting one of them and engaging with a locking hole receiving portion provided in the water receiver. It is characterized by this.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, during operation of the heat source, the heat shield lid provided on the upper surface of the heating / humidifying unit can be freely opened and closed to form a small space area on the upper surface of the heating / humidifying unit. When warm air passes through the humidifying member, it is released into the room with moisture vaporized from the humidifying member, so that the room is humidified simultaneously with heating, and when the operation of the heat source is stopped, If the heat shield lid is opened and the space area on the upper surface of the humidifying unit is large, the vaporizing action is constantly repeated from the humidifying member, so the air passing through the heat source is not heated, Since the moisture discharged into the space is released into the room, the temperature and humidity in the room are not lowered even when the operation of the heat source is stopped, and the temperature and humidity when the heat source is stopped can be maintained. effective. Further, since the humidifying member is a member in which a plurality of humidifying plate members formed in a circular shape in a side view are continuously and appropriately attached to a rotatable rotating shaft, the room is rapidly heated. When the necessity arises or when the humidity in the room is low, the rotating shaft is rotated so that the portion of the humidifying member immersed in the water is exposed from the water receiver, and the air released from the heat source Since a large amount of water can be contained in this, there is an effect that the room temperature and humidity can be increased in a short time.

  Since the humidifying member has an air passage formed by a gap formed between the boss portion of the humidifying plate member constituting the humidifying member and another adjacent humidifying plate member, The width of the air passage is specified, the passage width can be prevented from changing during use, and the heated and humid air can be discharged evenly into the room.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, since the humidifying plate member is formed by the humidifying member core plate and the humidifying member outer cover, and the humidifying member outer cover is formed by natural fibers such as linen or cotton cloth, it promotes capillary action of the humidifying member. In addition, there is an effect that provides a reliable humidifying action.

  According to the fourth aspect of the present invention, the heat shield cover body can be opened and closed by a hinge so that the size of the space area between the heat shield cover body and the heating and humidifying unit can be adjusted. There is an effect that the amount of water contained in the heated air from the heat source can be adjusted.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, the heat shield cover is provided with a latch fitting by a hinge provided at the top portion, and one of the plurality of latch holes provided in the latch fitting is selected to be provided in the water receiver. Since the size of the space area between the heat shield lid and the heating and humidifying unit can be adjusted by engaging with the hole receiving portion, there is an effect that the heat shield lid can be stably fixed.

  1 to 3 show the overall structure of an air conditioner according to the present invention. FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a closed state of the heat shield cover, and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing an open state of the heat shield cover. FIG. 3 is a front view of the entire apparatus. 4 to 6 show the humidifying member, FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view, FIG. 5 is a side view, and FIG. 6 is a component diagram.

  1 to 3, the heating and humidifying unit 1 is composed of a heat source 2 and a humidifying member 3 provided on the front surface of the heat source 2. The humidifying member 3 will be described in detail later, but is circular in side view. A plurality of the humidifying plate members 30 formed are continuously attached to the rotating shaft 5 at appropriate intervals, and the lower part of the rotating shaft 5 is immersed in the water supplied to the water receiver 4. .

  In the embodiment, the heat source 2 is a heat exchanger using a hot water heating system, and supplies hot water from a hot water supply device. Further, the water used for humidification is supplied from the water tank to the water receiver 4, and is automatically replenished when water is insufficient. The water used is a mixture of fine charcoal powder. It is known that charcoal has a deodorizing action, and even if it is used for a long period of time, it is possible to prevent the generation of malodor due to dust or the like.

  The heat source 2 is supported by the first leg 6, and the water receiver 4 is supported by the second leg 7. Here, since the heat source 2 and the water receiver 4 are formed at substantially the same height, the upper part of the humidifying member 3 protrudes from the water receiver 4 from the rotating shaft 5. For this reason, the part where the humidification member 3 protrudes from the water receiver 4 is set to a position higher than the heat source 2. The heating and humidifying unit 1 is covered with a heat insulating plate 8 on both the upper surface and both side portions excluding the front portion viewed from the room and the rear portion.

  A heat shield lid 9 that can be opened and closed from the heat source discharge port of the heating and humidifying unit 1 toward the top of the humidifying member 3 is provided. The heat shield lid 9 is provided on the apparatus so as to be openable and closable by a first hinge 10. Here, the heat shield lid 9 forms a space area with the heating and humidifying unit 1, and in the closed state where it is closest to the heating and humidifying unit 1 (FIG. 1), The space area formed between the heat shield lid 9 and the heating / humidifying unit 1 is minimized, and the open state where the heat shielding lid 9 is farthest from the heating / humidifying unit 1 (FIG. 2). , The space area formed between the heating and humidifying unit 1 is the maximum.

  As described above, the heating / humidification unit 1 has both sides and the back part covered with the heat insulating plate 8 and the upper part is covered with the heat shield lid 9, so that the air passing through the heat source 2 is humidified. When passing through the member 3, it is released into the room with moisture vaporized from the humidifying member 3, and when passing through the space area, it is released into the room with moisture evaporated from the humidifying member 3 and discharged into the space area. Will be released. That is, the air from the heat source 2 contains moisture regardless of the size of the space area formed by opening and closing the heat shield lid 9 and whether it is warmed or not warmed. It is discharged into the room in the state.

  The heat shield lid 9 is provided with a plurality of narrow locking fittings 11 via hinges 12 at the top portion, and the locking fitting 11 has a plurality of locking holes 13. Is provided. On the other hand, the water receiver 4 is provided with a locking hole receiving portion 14. By engaging one of the locking holes 13 with the locking hole receiving portion 14 of the water receiver 4, FIG. 1 or FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the size of the space area between the heat shield lid 9 and the heating / humidifying unit 1 can be adjusted from the minimum to the maximum.

  Note that the locking metal fittings 11 are attached to both side portions and an intermediate portion of the heat shield lid body 9. In the embodiment, the number of the locking holes 13 provided in the locking metal fitting 11 is five, so the range in which the size of the space area can be adjusted is five stages. In the figure, 15 is a handle metal fitting provided at the tip of the heat shield lid 9.

  FIG. 1 shows a state (closed state) where the heat shield lid 9 is closest to the heating / humidifying unit 1. In this case, since the space area is the smallest, all of the heated air from the heat source 2 is present. The moisture is released into the room through the humidifying member 3, and air containing a lot of moisture is released into the room. Further, in the case of FIG. 2, the heat shield lid 9 is in a state farthest from the heating / humidifying unit 1 (open state), and between the heating / humidifying unit 1 and the heat shielding lid 9, from FIG. 1. Since a large space area is formed, a part of the air from the heat source 2 is released into the room through the humidifying member 3, but the other is vaporized from the humidifying member 3 and discharged to the space area. It is released into the room together with air. Note that if the size of the space area is adjusted by selecting the engagement position between the engagement hole 13 of the engagement fitting 11 and the engagement hole receiving portion 14, the heat source 2 can be controlled regardless of the operation of the heat source 2. The amount of water contained in the air can be adjusted.

  In the present invention, the size of the space area can be adjusted by moving the heat shield cover 9 closer to or away from the heating / humidifying unit 1 and is vaporized from the humidifying member 3 during operation of the heat source 2. Although moisture is discharged into the space, most of the heated air is discharged into the room through the air passage 34 of the humidifying member 3 to heat and humidify the room. Further, when the operation of the heat source 2 is stopped, unheated air is discharged into the space area, but since the moisture vaporized continuously from the humidifying member 3 is discharged into the space area, The air in the area is always in a state of containing moisture and is released into the room. Accordingly, even when the operation of the heat source 2 is stopped during operation of the heat source 2, air containing a certain humidity continues to be released into the room, so that the room once warmed is Even if the operation is stopped, the room temperature and humidity do not decrease.

  The humidifying member 3 is a member in which a plurality of humidifying plate members 30 are integrally attached to the rotary shaft 5 via a key, and are attached at appropriate intervals. The rotating shaft 5 is rotatably supported on the bearing body 16, and a coil spring 17 is mounted between the humidifying member 3 and the bearing body 16, so that a plurality of humidifying plate members 30 are integrated. It is designed to rotate. The rotating shaft 5 has one end protruding from the bearing body 16 and a handle 18 is provided at the protruding portion, and the rotating shaft 5 and the humidifying plate member 30 are rotated by the handle 18.

  Next, details of the humidifying member will be described with reference to FIGS. The humidifying plate member 30 constituting the humidifying member 3 is composed of a humidifying member core plate 31 and a humidifying member jacket 32 covering the humidifying member core plate 31.

  The humidifying member core plate 31 is formed of an aluminum alloy or a plastic material, and a gap is formed between the boss portion 33 and the adjacent humidifying member core plate 31 when the rotating shaft 5 is attached to the humidifying member core plate. 3 air passages 34. Further, the humidifying member core plate 31 is lightened as a whole by removing the other portions while leaving the framework 35 formed in an appropriate shape. On the other hand, the humidifying member jacket 32 is preferably made of a fibrous material, preferably made of natural fibers such as linen or cotton cloth. It is impregned as a whole. The humidifying member jacket 32 has a through-hole 36 through which the boss portion 33 of the humidifying member core plate 31 passes.

  The humidifying plate member 30 is formed by abutting the humidifying member jacket 32 on both the front and back surfaces of the humidifying member core plate 31 and sewing the outer peripheral edge of the humidifying member jacket 32. It should be noted that the fiber 36 can be prevented from being unwound during use if the peripheral portion of the through hole 36 of the humidifying member jacket 32 is preliminarily attached. In the embodiment, since the humidifying member jacket 32 is in contact with both the front and back surfaces of the humidifying member core plate 31, no gap other than the air passage 34 is formed in the humidifying member jacket 32 when assembled to the humidifying member 3. Therefore, the vaporizing action is promoted in the air passage 34.

  The present invention has the above-described configuration, and the humidifying member 3 is accommodated in the water receiver 4 and water is supplied to the water receiver 4. Since the lower part of the humidifying member 3 is immersed in water than the central part, the entire member is in a state containing water by capillary action. As shown in FIG. 1, when the space between the heating / humidifying unit 1 and the heat shield lid 9 is set small, the air heated by the heat source 2 passes through the air passage 34 of the humidifying member 3. It is discharged into the room and discharged into the room along with the water vaporized from the humidifying member 3 when passing through the air passage 34. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2, when the space area between the heating / humidifying unit 1 and the heat shield lid 9 is set large, a part of the air from the heat source 2 passes through the humidifying member 3 to the room. The others are discharged into the room with the moisture vaporized from the humidifying member 3 and discharged into the space.

  In the embodiment, when the heat shield cover 9 is in the closed state (FIG. 1), the heat source 2 is in operation, and when in the open state (FIG. 2), the operation of the heat source 2 is stopped. This is the case. However, it is possible to operate the heat source 1 with the heat shield cover 9 opened, but basically the heat source operation is in the case of FIG. 1 and the heat source operation is stopped in the case of FIG. Yes. As described above, when the heat source lid 9 is closed and the heat source 2 is operated, both the temperature and the humidity increase. However, when the heat source 2 is stopped and the heat shield lid 9 is opened. The room temperature and humidity can maintain the room temperature and humidity when the heat source 2 is stopped.

  This is because even when the operation of the heat source 2 is stopped, the air containing moisture that is constantly vaporized is discharged from the humidifying member 3, and the air flowing out from the lower side of the heat source 2 toward the room is caused by the heat source 2. Although it is not warmed, it is released into the room with moisture evaporated when passing over the humidifying member 3, so that the indoor humidity and humidity are prevented from being lowered, and the indoor temperature and humidity when the heat source 2 is shut down are reduced. The decline can be prevented. When it is necessary to increase the humidity during the operation of the heat source 2, if the humidifying member 3 immersed in the water of the water receiver 4 is exposed from the container by rotating the rotary shaft 5, the heat source 2 Therefore, a lot of moisture can be included in the air from the air.

  By the way, it is said that the indoor temperature at which a comfortable living space can be obtained is 18 to 24 ° C. and the humidity is in the range of 50 to 60%. If it can be set in the range of%, it was found that the heater (heat source) can be operated only at night and the room temperature can be maintained at 20 to 25 ° C. even if the operation is interrupted during the day.

Inventor's Experiment At the address of the inventor (Sanjo 7-chome, 1-7-7, Asamikawa-shi, Hokkaido), the outdoor temperature is recorded at a maximum of below zero degrees in winter and at a temperature below 20 ° C below the freezing point. An experiment was conducted in which the room humidity was set to a range of 60 to 70% under the condition that the sash of the room had a double structure and a vinyl sheet with a heat insulating effect was attached to the window glass.

  As a result of the experiment, the operation time of the heater was limited to the night from 11:00 pm to 7:00 the following morning, but during the day when the heater was not operated (time from 8 am to 4 pm) Although it became a state without heating, the indoor humidity could be maintained at 60 to 70%, and the room temperature could be maintained at 20 to 25 ° C. During the experiment, when the weather was sunny, the room temperature could be raised because sunlight entered the room directly, but even during a cloudy day the room temperature during the day was below 16 ° C. It never happened.

  In severe cold seasons in cold regions, it is normal for people to live without heating equipment all day long. Even if the weather during the day is fine, they should live without heating. However, the present invention has succeeded in setting the indoor humidity in the range of 60 to 70%, and can live without heating during the day. It is a thing.

  The present invention can shorten the operation time of the heating appliance, thereby enabling a significant saving of fuel consumption.
