(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a schematic configuration diagram showing a configuration of a bathroom drying system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing the air flow during the ventilation operation according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the air flow during the drying operation of Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flowchart showing a communication mode between the bathroom dryer and the ion generator according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, a bathroom dryer body 2 is installed on the ceiling of a bathroom 1, and a water heater 3 (for example, a gas water heater or an electric water heater) is installed as a heat source outside the bathroom. The bathroom dryer body 2 has a ventilation part 4 as a ventilation means for ventilating the air in the bathroom, a circulation part 5 as a circulation means for circulating the air in the bathroom, and an outlet 6 for blowing air into the bathroom. A suction port 7 for sucking in the air in the bathroom, a heating unit 8 for heating the air by exchanging heat between the air and the hot water in the bathroom, and a hot water channel 9 for connecting the water heater 3 and the heating unit 8; A ventilation port as a ventilation port portion composed of a remote controller 10 for controlling the bathroom dryer main body 2, a door 11 separating the inside of the bathroom from the outside of the bathroom, and one or more blades 12 provided at the lower end of the door 11. 13, an ion generation device 14 as an ion generation unit provided in the ventilation port 13, a blade plate driving unit 15 (for example, a stepping motor) that controls opening and closing of the blade plate 12, and the blade plate 12 of the ventilation port 13 Detect the pressure difference between inside and outside the bathroom As a pressure sensor 16 as a pressure difference detection means, a notification LED 17 as a notification means for indicating normal, abnormal or ion generation state of the ion generator 14 configured on the remote controller 10, and a moving means for moving the ion generator 14 The ion generator drive unit 18 of the above.

  The communication between the bathroom dryer main body 2 and the ion generator 14 is transmitted from the bathroom dryer main body 2 to the ion generator 14 with a control signal of the ion generator 14 in accordance with each operation mode of ventilation, drying operation or stop, The notification LED 17 is turned on to start the communication start timer. When the ion generator 14 receives the control signal, the ion generator 14 starts or stops releasing ions according to each operation mode. When the bathroom dryer body 2 receives the status signal, it sends a control signal corresponding to each mode to the ion generator during ventilation or drying operation, restarts the communication start timer, and the bathroom user determines in advance. When a certain period of time (for example, 20 minutes) has passed or the user of the bathroom has commanded the end of ventilation or drying operation from the remote controller 10, a control signal is transmitted from the bathroom dryer body 2 to the ion generator 14. Then, the ion generator 14 stops the generation of ions, returns the fact that it has stopped to the bathroom dryer body 2, turns off the notification LED 17, and ends the communication. If the bathroom dryer body 2 does not receive a status signal for a certain period (for example, 1 minute) after the start of the communication start timer, a certain period of time elapses while each operation continues during ventilation or drying operation. After that (for example, 1 minute), the control signal is transmitted again. If the communication is still not established after repeating several times (for example, three times) until the communication is established, the notification LED 17 is blinked, a stop command is transmitted to the ion generator 14, and the ion generator 14 is transmitted to the user in the bathroom. The communication is terminated after an error is reported.

  When the user of the bathroom starts ventilation operation, the slat drive unit 15 opens the slat 12 (for example, 0 degrees), reduces the pressure loss of the air passage a19, and flows air into the bathroom from outside the bathroom. In addition, the bathroom dryer main body 2 transmits a control signal to the ion generator 14 and starts communication with the ion generator 14. When the ion generator 14 receives the ventilation operation from the bathroom dryer main body 2, the ion generator 14 starts releasing positive or negative ions that suppress generation of mold toward the bathroom. When the ventilation operation has passed for a certain period of time (for example, 5 minutes), the vane drive unit 15 is driven so that the path through which the air flowing from outside the bathroom passes through the floor surface in the bathroom or the wall surface facing the door becomes long. The blade 12 is moved (for example, 45 degrees). Thereby, since positive or negative ions generated from the ion generator 14 are discharged outside the bathroom via the air passage a19, the floor surface can be efficiently discharged to the bathroom floor or the wall facing the door. Or generation | occurrence | production of the mold | fungi of the wall surface which faces a door can be suppressed. Further, when the ventilation operation has passed for a certain period of time (for example, 10 minutes from the start of operation), the vane plate drive unit 15 is driven so that the air passage a19 flowing into the bathroom from outside the bathroom passes through the wall on the door side. The slat 12 is moved (for example, 135 degrees).

  Thereby, since the positive or negative ion which generate | occur | produced from the ion generator 14 is discharged | emitted out of the bathroom via the wind path b20, generation | occurrence | production of the mold | fungi on the wall surface on the door side can be suppressed. Further, when a certain time elapses (for example, 15 minutes from the start of the ventilation operation), the blade plate driving unit 15 is driven, and the blade plate 12 is moved at a constant speed (for example, ± 16 degrees per minute) at a certain angle (for example, 45 By reciprocating between 135 degrees and 135 degrees), the air path is reciprocated between the air paths a 19 to b 20 between the air path a 19 and the air path b 20, and the air path swing 22 is obtained. Air efficiently flows into the bathroom from the outside, and positive or negative ions riding on the air flow suppress the generation of mold in the bathroom. In addition, the arrow of the air path a19 and the air path b20 shows the direction through which a wind flows.

  Further, when a predetermined time (for example, 20 minutes) elapses by the user of the bathroom passes or when the user of the bathroom commands the end of the ventilation operation from the remote controller 10, the ion generator from the bathroom dryer body 2 14, a stop signal is transmitted to the ion generator 14, and the generation of ions is stopped. The fact that the ion generator 14 has stopped is transmitted to the bathroom dryer body 2, and the ventilation operation is terminated.

  When the user of the bathroom starts the drying operation, the heating unit 8, the circulation unit 5 and the ventilation unit 4 are driven for a certain period (for example, 5 minutes) to discharge the humid air to the outdoors. Thereafter, the heating unit 8 and the circulation unit 5 are stopped, and the slat driving unit 15 opens the slat 12 (for example, 0 degrees) to allow air to flow into the bathroom from outside the bathroom, and the ion generator 14 A control signal is transmitted to and communication with the ion generator 14 is started.

  When the ion generator 14 receives the control signal for the drying operation from the bathroom dryer body 2, the ion generator 14 starts releasing positive or negative ions that suppress the generation of mold into the bathroom. When a certain time has passed (for example, 10 minutes from the start of the drying operation), the pressure sensor 16 opens and closes the vane plate 12 so that the amount of air passing through the ventilation port 13 is maximized, and the inside of the bathroom is more than the outside of the bathroom. Air is introduced and hot and humid air in the bathroom is discharged outside the bathroom. Further, when a certain time elapses (for example, 15 minutes from the start of the drying operation), the ventilation unit 4 and the blade 12 are closed (for example, 90 degrees), and the heating unit 8 and the circulation unit 5 are driven again. At this time, the ion generating device 14 is moved by driving the moving means of the ion generating device 14, and the ion release direction is changed in accordance with the direction in which the hot air is blown from the bathroom dryer body 2.

  Thereby, the positive or negative ion discharge | released in the bathroom circulates in the bathroom via the air path c21, forms the circulation air path 23, and can suppress generation | occurrence | production of the mold in a bathroom. Further, when a certain time elapses (for example, 20 minutes from the start of the drying operation), an operation similar to the ventilation operation is performed. Furthermore, when a certain time (for example, 40 minutes) predetermined by the user of the bathroom elapses or when the user of the bathroom instructs the end of the drying operation from the remote controller, the ion generator 14 from the bathroom dryer body 2 The ion generator 14 stops generating ions, transmits the fact that the ion has stopped to the bathroom dryer main body 2, and ends the drying operation. In addition, the arrow of the air path c21 and the circulation air path 23 shows the direction through which a wind flows.

  Furthermore, in the first embodiment, the configuration is such that ions are continuously emitted from the ion generation device 14, but any configuration in which positive or negative ions are sufficiently distributed in the bathroom may be used. A configuration may be adopted in which ions are intermittently released from the ion generator 14 in accordance with the detected pressure difference between the inside and outside the bathroom. When the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bathroom is small, the amount of air supplied to the bathroom through the ventilation port 13 is reduced, so that the ion generator 14 is continuously operated to increase the amount of released ions. Thus, positive or negative ions are sufficiently distributed in the bathroom to suppress the generation of mold in the bathroom.

  On the other hand, when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bathroom is large, the amount of air supplied to the bathroom through the ventilation port 13 increases, so the ion generation unit is operated intermittently to reduce the amount of released ions. Even if it makes it, it can spread enough positive or negative ion in the bathroom. Further, when the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the bathroom is large, the wind speed of the air passing through the ventilation port 13 is also increased, so that the pressure sensor 16 detects the positive or negative ions sufficiently in the bathroom. By moving the ion emission direction of the ion generator 14 according to the pressure difference, the positive or negative ions are sufficiently distributed in the bathroom, and the generation of mold in the bathroom can be efficiently suppressed. it can.

  In the first embodiment, the ion generating device 14 is provided beside the ventilation port 13. However, if the ion generator 14 is in contact with the air flow path of air flowing from outside the bathroom into the bathroom, the ventilation port 13 is vertically and horizontally Any position may be sufficient and generation | occurrence | production of the mold in a bathroom can be suppressed by discharge | releasing ion efficiently in the bathroom or the exterior of a bathroom.

  Further, in the first embodiment, the ion generator 14 is provided beside the ventilation port 13. However, if the ion generator 14 is moved in conjunction with the operation of the blade 12, the blade 12 You may make it the structure which provides the ion generator 14 on top. By providing the ion generator 14 on the slat 12, it is not necessary to make the ion generator 14 independently driven, and by increasing the amount of air flowing into the bathroom by taking a wide ventilation port 13, Furthermore, by containing positive or negative ions from the ion generator 14, generation of mold in the bathroom can be efficiently suppressed.

  In the first embodiment, the notification LED 17 is provided in the remote control unit as a notification means for notifying the user of the bathroom of the state of the ion generator 14. 14 may be configured, and a speaker may be provided on the remote controller 10 to notify the user of the bathroom by voice. If comprised in this way, the user of the bathroom can recognize the state of the ion generator 14 using light and an audio | voice.

  In the first embodiment, the ion generator 14 is configured to release positive or negative ions into the bathroom in each operation mode of the ventilation operation or the drying operation of the bathroom dryer body 2. It may be configured that the person can arbitrarily set whether or not to drive the ion generator 14 during the ventilation operation or the drying operation. If comprised in this way, the user of a bathroom can set arbitrarily so that the ion generator 14 may not be driven, for example, when performing regular ventilation operation, for example, and the ion generator corresponding to the bathroom user's form of bathroom use 14 can be driven.

  In the first embodiment, the bathroom dryer main body 2 and the ion generator 14 are configured in a wired manner. However, if the ion generator 14 is controlled, the bathroom dryer main body 2 and the ion generator 14 are respectively connected to the bathroom dryer main body 2 and the ion generator 14. A light emitting / receiving element may be provided and configured wirelessly, and workability can be improved.
