Description

  The present invention relates to a vaporizing humidifier that ventilates and humidifies a humidifying filter partially immersed in a water tank.

  Conventionally, this type of humidifying device is known as a humidifying device that is humidified by rotating a part of a humidifying filter in a water tank and rotating and ventilating (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Hereinafter, the humidifier will be described with reference to FIG.

  As shown in the drawing, the main body 105 of the humidifying device is provided with a blowing means 104 and a humidifying filter 108 for circulating air in a blowing passage 103 formed by communicating a suction port 101 and a blower outlet 102, and is humidified in a cylindrical shape.

JP 2006-105440 A

  In such a conventional humidifying device, the air to be humidified is configured to pass from one side surface of the cylindrical humidifying filter 108 to the other side surface, so that the air flow is directed in a direction perpendicular to the humidifying filter 108. When entering, the pressure loss in the humidifying filter 108 is low and there is almost no leakage to the surroundings. However, when the airflow enters from the oblique direction of the humidifying filter 108, the pressure loss increases and air leakage from other than the humidifying filter 108 occurs. Therefore, there is a problem that the humidification efficiency is deteriorated.

  Further, when the humidifying filter 108 is rotated to rise to the air flow path 103 from the water stored in the water tank 106, the humidifying filter 108 retains a large amount of water and a water film is formed on the surface, resulting in an increase in pressure loss. In addition, immediately before the humidifying filter 108 enters the water tank 106 from the air flow path 113, the amount of moisture adhering to the humidifying filter 108 is small, so that the pressure loss is reduced, and a gradient of pressure loss occurs on the humidifying filter surface. Therefore, there is a problem that it is difficult to increase the humidification efficiency because the air flow amount is uneven.

  The present invention solves such a conventional problem, and guides the air flow in the direction perpendicular to the humidifying filter surface to reduce pressure loss and increase the amount of air flow, and further, there is an air leak between the humidifying filter and the main body. It is an object of the present invention to provide a humidifier that can prevent the occurrence of pressure loss and eliminate the gradient of pressure loss associated with a rotating humidifying filter to increase humidification efficiency.

  In order to achieve the above object, a humidifier according to the present invention has a main body provided with a blowing means for circulating an air flow through a blowing passage formed by communicating an inlet and an outlet, and a water supply tank provided in the main body Water tank, a hollow cylindrical humidifying filter that is always immersed in the water stored in the water tank and is rotatable about a horizontal axis, and a humidifying filter holder for holding the humidifying filter. A plurality of wind direction adjusting ribs that are radially arranged when viewed from the cross section are integrally provided on the inner peripheral portion of the humidifying filter holder.

  Another means is that the humidifying filter holder is integrally provided with a large number of annular or disk-like support frames arranged in parallel in a direction crossing the humidifying filter.

  Another means is provided with a partition plate for adjusting the air volume balance inside the humidifying filter inside the humidifying filter holder.

  The other means is that the humidifying filter, the humidifying filter holder and the partition plate are integrally coupled and detachably provided in the water tank, and can be disassembled when separated from the water tank.

  In addition, the other means includes a main body provided with a blowing means for circulating an air flow in a blowing passage formed by communicating the suction port and the outlet, a water tank supplied from a water supply tank provided in the main body, A humidifying filter that is always immersed in the water stored in the aquarium and that can rotate around the horizontal axis is provided, and an inlet air volume adjuster is provided near the outer peripheral edge of the humidifying filter inlet, and this inlet air volume adjuster is located at the rotational position of the humidifying filter. Correspondingly, the air flow rate is adjusted.

  The other means is provided with an inlet air direction adjuster for adjusting the air direction to the humidifying filter in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge on the humidifying filter inlet side.

  Another means is that an outlet air volume adjuster is provided in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge on the outlet side of the humidifying filter, and this outlet air volume adjuster is configured to adjust the amount of air flow corresponding to the rotational position of the humidifying filter.

  The other means is provided with an outlet wind direction adjuster for adjusting the wind direction of the humidifying filter in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge on the humidifying filter outlet side.

  Another means is that the air volume adjuster or the wind direction adjuster is integrated with the water tank.

  Another means is that the water tank is detachable from the main body, and the air volume adjusting device or the wind direction adjusting device is removable from the water tank.

  In another means, at least a part of the air volume adjusting device or the wind direction adjusting device is integrated with the main body.

  As a result, the air flow is guided in the direction perpendicular to the humidifying filter surface to reduce the pressure loss and increase the amount of air flow. Further, air leakage does not occur between the humidifying filter and the main body, and it is attached to the rotating humidifying filter. A humidifier capable of eliminating the pressure loss gradient and increasing the humidification efficiency is obtained.

  According to the present invention, the wind direction adjusting rib guides the airflow passing through the humidifying filter in a direction orthogonal to the humidifying filter, thereby preventing a shortcut that flows through the portion of the humidifying filter where the pressure loss is small and humidifying. The amount can be increased. Furthermore, it is possible to provide a humidifying device that can reduce the pressure loss and increase the amount of air blown, and can supply sufficiently humidified air to the room.

  In addition, the annular or circular support frame allows the humidifying filter to maintain a cylindrical shape, so that the gap between the humidifying filter and the main body can be kept at a constant interval to prevent air leaks, and the rectifying effect in the humidifying filter can be further reduced. It is possible to suppress the generation of noise, stabilize the air flow rate, and maintain a constant humidification amount.

  In addition, since the pressure loss of each divided air flow passage is adjusted approximately evenly by the air flow adjuster and the partition plate, the air flow passing through the humidifying filter is also made uniform throughout, and the partition plate further humidifies the air. Ventilation resistance in the filter can be suppressed to a low level, and the air volume adjuster can ventilate the humidifying filter in a well-balanced manner so that the humidifying ability of the humidifying filter can be fully exhibited.

  In addition, when cleaning the humidifying filter, the air volume control tool can be removed and cleaned at the same time, so it is easy to clean and repair easily contaminated parts and use it conveniently without user trouble. Can do.

  In addition, by adjusting the pressure loss from the inlet air volume adjuster to the humidifying filter inner surface to be substantially uniform in each part, a substantially uniform air volume can be passed over the entire inlet side of the humidifying filter, and the water retention amount It can be sufficiently humidified by ventilating the filter part with a lot of moisture.

  In addition, the inlet air direction adjuster allows the air flow to flow in a direction perpendicular to the humidifying filter, so that the pressure loss can be reduced and the ventilation rate can be increased, and a large amount of humidified air can be supplied indoors. Furthermore, it is possible to suppress air leaks from parts other than the humidifying filter.

  In addition, since the pressure loss from the outlet air volume adjuster to the humidifying filter inner surface is almost uniform in each part, a uniform air volume can be passed over the entire outlet side of the humidifying filter. The humidified air can be supplied by sufficiently ventilating from the existing filter part, and the dried indoor air can be sufficiently humidified.

  In addition, the air flow from the humidifying filter to the outside of the humidifying filter flows in the direction perpendicular to the humidifying filter by the outlet air direction adjusting tool, thereby reducing the pressure loss and increasing the air flow rate. The air leak from the air can be suppressed and the humidification ability can be improved.

  Moreover, since the distance between the humidifying filter, the inlet louver, and the outlet louver can be made constant regardless of the installation state of the water tank, the wind pressure or the air volume can be reliably controlled.

  Further, when the humidifying filter and the water tank are cleaned, since the water tank, the humidifying filter, and each louver can be cleaned, each part can be easily and reliably cleaned.

  Further, when the humidifying filter is cleaned, the inlet louver and the outlet louver can be attached and detached at the same time when the water tank is attached to and detached from the main body, and the user can save time for assembly and disassembly.

  The humidifier according to claim 1 of the present invention is supplied with water from a main body provided with a blowing means for circulating an air flow through a blowing passage formed by communicating an inlet and an outlet, and a water supply tank provided in the main body. A water tank, a hollow cylindrical humidifying filter that is always immersed in the water stored in the water tank and is rotatable about a horizontal axis, and a humidifying filter holder for holding the humidifying filter. A plurality of wind direction adjusting ribs that are radially arranged as viewed from the cross section are integrally provided on the inner peripheral portion of the tool, and the indoor air that has flowed in from the suction port enters the humidifying filter along the wind direction adjusting ribs. It flows in and flows out of the humidifying filter along the wind direction adjusting rib. Therefore, since the wind direction adjusting rib is provided orthogonal to the humidifying filter, the airflow passes through the humidifying filter in the direction orthogonal to the humidifying filter, and the pressure loss in the humidifying filter can be suppressed to be small. By guiding the airflow that has passed through the humidifying filter toward the center of the humidifying filter holder, a shortcut that flows through the portion of the humidifying filter where the pressure loss is small is prevented as much as possible, and the amount of humidification can be increased.

  In addition, the humidifying filter holder is integrally provided with a large number of annular or disk-shaped support frames arranged in parallel in a direction crossing the humidifying filter, and the support frame is a large number of annular or disk-shaped support frames. Since the cylindrical shape of the humidifying filter can be held by a large number of support frames, even when stress is applied to the humidifying filter, air leakage can be prevented by maintaining the cylindrical shape. In addition, the air flow in the humidification filter can be prevented from being disturbed to suppress the generation of noise, and the humidification function can be made uniform.

  In addition, inside the humidifying filter holder is equipped with a partition plate that adjusts the air flow balance inside the humidifying filter, and the pressure loss in the humidifying filter is maximized at the position where it rises from the accumulated water into the air flow path. Since the air flow is minimized at the position where the water flows from the air flow path into the stored water, the air flow path in the humidification filter is divided by the partition plate, and the pressure loss before and after each air flow path is added. It becomes even and the air flow through the humidifying filter is made uniform. Furthermore, since the partition plate is provided at a parallel or shallow angle with respect to the support frame of the humidifying filter, there is an effect that the ventilation resistance in the humidifying filter can be suppressed to a low level.

  Further, the humidifying filter, the humidifying filter holder, and the partition plate are integrally joined and detachably provided in the water tank. When separated from the water tank, the humidifying filter, the humidifying filter holder, and the partition plate can be disassembled. Since the partition plate provided in can be attached and detached as a unit with the humidification filter, when cleaning the humidification filter, the partition plate is also removed from the water tank at the same time, and can be easily cleaned such as washing with water.

The air flow rate is adjusted to correspond to the rotational position, and the pressure loss at the louver is gradually increased by narrowing the louver interval sequentially with respect to the downward rotation direction of the humidifying filter. The sum of the pressure loss at the louver and the pressure loss at the humidifying filter can be made substantially uniform at each site. Furthermore, since the airflow is guided to the humidifying filter side by the windward louver, there is an effect that the amount of air leaking through the gap between the upper portion of the humidifying filter and the main body can be suppressed.

  In addition, an inlet wind direction adjuster that adjusts the wind direction to the humidifying filter is provided near the outer peripheral edge of the humidifying filter inlet side, and the windward louver of the inlet wind direction adjusting tool is approximately the rotation axis direction of the humidifying filter. Since it is provided at right angles, the indoor air guided by the windward louver has an effect that it can circulate in the humidification filter from the direction perpendicular to the humidification filter.

  In addition, an outlet louver is provided as an outlet air volume adjuster and an outlet air direction adjuster near the outer peripheral edge of the humidifying filter outlet side, and this outlet louver is configured to adjust the air flow rate and air direction according to the rotation position of the humidifying filter. It is. And, by adopting a shape in which the interval between the louvers gradually narrows according to the rotation direction of the humidifying filter, the pressure loss on the leeward side of the humidifying filter is maximized at the position where it floated from the accumulated water into the air flow path. By gradually reducing the outlet louver interval corresponding to the upward rotation direction of the humidifying filter, the pressure loss at the louver gradually increases, and the total of the pressure loss at the outlet louver and the pressure loss at the humidifying filter is It has the effect | action that it can be made substantially equal. In addition, since the outlet louver is provided substantially orthogonal to the rotation axis direction of the humidification filter, the air flow after passing through the humidification filter is guided and passed in the direction orthogonal to the humidification filter, and the humidification filter is humidified. It has the effect | action that it can distribute | circulate radially to the exterior of a filter.

  In addition, since the inlet louver or the outlet louver is substantially integrally fixed to the water tank, the distance between the humidifying filter and each louver can be kept constant regardless of the installation condition of the water tank.

  In addition, the water tank is detachably provided from the main body, and the inlet louver or the outlet louver is fitted to the water tank in a detachable state, so when removing the separable water tank from the main body and cleaning the humidification filter In addition to the water tank and the humidifying filter, the inlet louver or the outlet louver can be removed from the water tank and easily cleaned.

  Further, at least a part of the outlet louver is integrated with the main body, and the outlet louver is composed of two parts, a first outlet louver and a second outlet louver. The 2 outlet louver is provided in the water tank. When the humidifying filter is cleaned, the humidifying filter can be separated from the water tank and cleaned by pulling the water tank laterally from the main body. Since the louver is attached to the main body, it remains on the main body side, and the second outlet louver provided in the water tank is pulled out of the main body, and the outlet louver can be connected and disconnected simultaneously with the attachment / detachment of the water tank. .

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 5 is provided with a blowing means 4 and a humidifying filter 7 in a blowing channel 3 formed by communicating a suction port 1 and a blowing port 2, and a water tank supplied with water from a water supply tank 20. 6 and the humidification filter 7 is rotatably provided in a state where the lower part is immersed in the water stored in the water tank 6.

  The air blowing means 4 is disposed between the air outlet 2 and the humidifying filter 7, and is connected to the fan casing 4c having the inlet 4a and the outlet 4b, the centrifugal blade 4d accommodated in the fan casing 4c, and the centrifugal blade 4d. The blower motor 4e is provided, the centrifugal blade 4d is rotated by the drive of the blower motor 4e, the air is sucked from the blower outlet 2 and passed through the humidifying filter 7, and the humidified air is blown out from the blower outlet 2 into the room. It is.

  Further, the hollow cylindrical humidifying filter 7 is obtained by impregnating or applying a solution of talc and a binder on the surface of a foamed urethane base material, and on the outer peripheral surface of a cylindrical humidifying filter holder 8 having a horizontal axis. Attached so as to allow ventilation, a passive gear 9 provided on the humidifying filter holder 8 is engaged with the drive motor 9 and rotated. The rotation direction of the humidification filter 7 faces the upstream side of the air flow path 3 and is a rotation direction from the air toward the water.

  The humidifying filter 7 is not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface of the filter are formed in a lattice shape by fiber bundles, and the outer peripheral surface and the inner peripheral surface are integrally formed by a plurality of fiber yarns. A connected filter base with good air permeability may be adopted. In this case, the pressure loss is reduced than the above-mentioned humidifying filter of urethane foam base, and a large amount of humidified air can be supplied indoors. it can.

  The humidifying filter holder 8 includes a first humidifying filter holder 8a having a cylindrical frame and a second humidifying filter holder 8b having a passive gear 10 that transmits the rotational torque of the drive motor 9. . The first humidifying filter holder 8a is integrally formed with a plurality of wind direction adjusting ribs 11 arranged at regular intervals in the inner peripheral direction on the inner peripheral portion, and the air direction adjusting ribs 11 are formed at the center of the humidifying filter holder 8. They are arranged radially concentrically. That is, the wind direction adjusting rib 11 is arranged in a direction orthogonal to the circumferential surface toward the center of the hollow cylindrical humidifying filter 7, and therefore guides the air flow passing through the humidifying filter 7 in the central direction. It is. Further, a large number of annular or disk-shaped support frames 12 are provided at equal intervals in a direction crossing the humidifying filter 7 (direction of ring cutting), and are integrally disposed in a direction orthogonal to the wind direction adjusting rib 11. .

  With the above configuration, the indoor air flowing in from the suction port 1 is guided in the center direction of the humidifying filter 7 along the one air direction adjusting rib 11 and orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7 along the air direction adjusting rib 11 on the opposite side facing each other. Then it will flow out to the outside. Therefore, since the wind direction adjusting rib 11 is provided orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7, the airflow passes through the humidifying filter 7 in the orthogonal direction, and the pressure loss in the humidifying filter 7 can be reduced.

  Further, since the support frame 12 is configured in a number of annular shapes or disk shapes, the cylindrical shape of the humidification filter 7 can be held by the number of support frames 12, so that stress is applied to the humidification filter 7. Even in this case, by maintaining the cylindrical shape, it is possible to prevent air leaks from occurring without generating a gap. Further, since the support frame 12 guides the airflow in the humidifying filter holder 8 so as to pass between the adjacent support frames 12, it acts synergistically with the function of guiding the airflow toward the center of the airflow direction adjusting rib 11. Thus, the ventilation airflow can be reliably guided so as to pass in the orthogonal direction with respect to the humidifying filter 7, and the airflow in the humidifying filter 7 can be prevented from being disturbed and rectified. Therefore, the humidifying function provided in the humidifying filter 7 can be fully exerted to improve the humidifying capacity, and even if the ventilation rate is increased, the rectifying function in the humidifying filter 7 suppresses an increase in noise and reduces noise. Can be

(Embodiment 2)
As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the humidifying filter holder 8 includes a first humidifying filter holder 8 a having a cylindrical frame and a second humidifying filter including a passive gear 10 that transmits the rotational torque of the drive motor 9. A holder 8b and a third humidifying filter holder 8c provided close to the inner peripheral portion of the first humidifying filter holder 8a are provided.

  The first humidifying filter holder 8a is provided with a large number of annular support frames 12 in a direction crossing the humidifying filter 7, and the third humidifying filter holder 8c has the inside of the humidifying filter 7 in the vertical direction. And a fixing rib 15 for fixing the third humidifying filter holder 8 c to the water tank 6 by fitting with a partition plate 13 that is divided into substantially equal parts and a fixing rib receiving portion 14 provided in the water tank 6. Further, the second humidifying filter holder 8b has a hollow rotating shaft so that the fixing rib 15 can pass therethrough. Therefore, the rotational torque of the drive motor 9 rotates the humidification filter 7 and the first humidification filter holder 8a by the passive gear 10, but the third humidification filter holder 8c fitted to the water tank 6 by the fixing rib 15 Regardless of the rotation of the drive motor 9, it is always fixed at a fixed position.

  With the above configuration, the pressure loss in the humidifying filter 7 is maximized at a position rotated from the accumulated water in the water tank 6 into the air flow path 3 and is minimized at a position where the water is submerged from the air flow path 3 into the accumulated water. When the air flow path inside the humidifying filter 7 is divided by the partition plate 13 and the pressure loss before and after each air flow path is added, the sum is offset and becomes substantially equal, so the air flow rate through the humidifying filter 7 is also uniform. It becomes. Furthermore, since the end of the partition plate 13 is substantially orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7, the air flow induced by the partition plate 13 passes orthogonally to the humidifying filter 7, and the pressure loss in the humidifying filter 7. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, the humidification filter 7, the 1st humidification filter holder 8a, the 2nd humidification filter holder 8b, and the 3rd humidification filter holder 8c can be removed from the water tank 6 simultaneously, and can be isolate | separated separately. Therefore, the humidification filter 7 can be easily cleaned.

(Embodiment 3)
As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, an inlet louver 16 is provided near the outer peripheral edge on the inlet side of the humidifying filter 7, and an outlet louver 17 is provided near the outer peripheral edge on the outlet side of the humidifying filter 7. The inlet louver 16 and the outlet louver 17 are provided in a substantially orthogonal direction with respect to the humidifying filter 7 and are configured to increase pressure loss as a dimensional relationship in which the interval between the louvers gradually narrows with respect to the rotation direction of the humidifying filter 7. Yes. Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the inlet louver 16 and the outlet louver 17 are provided so as to be detachable from the water tank 6.

  With the above configuration, the inlet louver 16 has a configuration in which the louver interval gradually decreases in accordance with the rotation direction of the humidifying filter 7, so that the pressure loss on the windward side of the humidifying filter 7 proceeds from the inside of the air flow path 3 into the accumulated water. Since it is the minimum at the watering position, the louver interval is gradually reduced with respect to the downward rotation direction of the humidifying filter 7 so that the pressure loss at the louver is gradually increased. The sum of the pressure loss at 16 and the pressure loss at the humidifying filter 7 can be made substantially uniform at each part on the windward side of the humidifying filter 7 and can be uniformly humidified at all parts on the windward side. Therefore, humidified air can be efficiently supplied indoors. Furthermore, since the air flow is guided to the humidifying filter 7 side by the inlet louver 16, the amount of air leaking through the gap between the upper portion of the humidifying filter 7 and the main body 5 can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the inlet louver 16 is provided substantially orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7, the indoor air guided by the inlet louver 16 can flow into the humidifying filter 7 from the direction orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7. .

  Further, in the outlet louver 17 provided in the vicinity of the leeward outer periphery of the humidifying filter 7, the pressure loss on the leeward side of the humidifying filter 7 is maximum at the position where the pressure is rotated from the water stored in the water tank 6 into the air flow path 3 and floated. Therefore, the pressure loss is gradually increased by gradually reducing the distance between the outlet louvers 17 corresponding to the upward rotation direction of the humidifying filter 7, and the pressure loss at the outlet louver 17 and the humidifying filter are increased. The total pressure loss at 7 can be made approximately equal at each location. When the inlet louver 16 and the outlet louver 17 are used in combination, the total pressure loss of the inlet louver 16, the outlet louver 17 and the humidifying filter 7 is approximately equal in each part by adjusting the interval between the respective louvers. Can be.

  Further, since the outlet louver 17 is provided substantially orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7, the air flow induced by the outlet louver 17 can flow outside the humidifying filter 7 in a direction orthogonal to the humidifying filter 7. .

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 9, since the inlet louver 16 and the outlet louver 17 are directly provided in the water tank 6, the distance between the humidifying filter 7 and each louver can be kept constant regardless of the installation condition of the water tank 6. Thus, it is possible to securely attach the dimensional relationship without causing air leakage.

  Moreover, since the inlet louver 16 and the outlet louver 17 are fitted in a detachable state with respect to the water tank 6, when the humidifying filter 7 is cleaned by pulling out the separable water tank 6 from the main body 5, the water tank 6. In addition to the humidifying filter 7, each louver can be removed from the water tank 6 and easily cleaned.

(Embodiment 4)

  With the above configuration, when the water tank 6 is pulled out from the main body 5, the first outlet louver 17a is attached to the main body 5, so it remains on the main body side, and the second outlet louver 17b provided in the water tank 6 is pulled out of the main body, The outlet louver 17 can be connected and separated simultaneously with the attachment and detachment of the water tank 6. Therefore, when cleaning the humidifying filter 7, the water tank 6 can be detached from the main body 5 and the humidifying filter 7 can be removed from the space between the inlet louver 16 and the second outlet louver 17b. Can be saved.

  Using a humidification function that appropriately controls the direction of air flow to the humidification filter and reduces the pressure loss and increases the air volume, it is possible to provide a humidification device that is compact and has high humidification performance. It can also be applied to humidifiers and air conditioners.
