  Hereinafter, the present embodiment will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the electrostatic atomizer of the present embodiment has a substantially box-shaped main body case 1 having an air outlet 2 on the upper surface and an air inlet 3 on the lower back surface. The case 1 is provided with air blowing means 4 for blowing air from the air inlet 3 to the air outlet 2.

  The air outlet 2 has a substantially horizontally long rectangular shape and is positioned at the center of the upper surface of the main body case 1, and the air inlet 3 has a substantially rectangular shape and is positioned below the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1. I have.

  The air blowing means 4 has a substantially scroll shape, is provided with a discharge port 8 having a substantially horizontal rectangular shape on the upper surface, and a circular suction port 9 is provided on the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1. An electrostatic atomizing means 7 is provided in the leeward side air passage of the blowing means 4.

  The air blowing means 4 sucks indoor air into the main body case 1 from the air inlet 3 and blows the air into the room from the outlet 2 together with charged fine particle water generated from the electrostatic atomizing means 7 which will be described in detail later. It is.

  A feature of the present embodiment is that a substantially plate-shaped partition plate portion 11 is provided between the air blowing means 4 and the electrostatic atomizing means 7 and the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1. The first space portion 12 is provided between the case 1 and the front side surface 10. Specifically, the air blowing means 4 and the electrostatic atomizing means 7 are provided on the back surface side of the main body case 1 of the partition plate portion 11, and the first space portion is provided on the front surface side of the main body case 1 of the partition plate portion 11. 12 is provided.

  That is, a part of the noise generated by the blowing unit 4 and the electrostatic atomizing unit 7 is a partition plate provided between the blowing unit 4 and the electrostatic atomizing unit 7 and the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1. Sound insulation is provided at the part 11. Further, the noise transmitted to the first space portion 12 through the partition plate portion 11 is attenuated by the interference between the sound traveling in the first space portion 12 and the reflected sound, and the front side of the main body case 1. Noise that propagates linearly to the side surface 10 can be reduced. Based on these results, noise generated by the blowing unit 4 and the electrostatic atomizing unit 7 can be reduced.

  The first space portion 12 is provided with a control means 13. Specifically, the control means 13 is formed of a flat board portion 13a and a component portion 13b fixed to the board portion 13a. The board portion 13a faces the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1. It is a configuration.

  Specifically, a substrate portion 13 a is provided between the partition plate portion 11 and the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1, that is, in the first space portion 12. That is, part of the noise transmitted into the first space portion 12 through the partition plate portion 11 is transferred from the partition plate portion 11 to the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1 by the substrate portion 13a which is the control means 13. Noise can be reduced by blocking linear propagation. As a result, the noise of the electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.

  Further, the substrate portion 13 a which is the control means 13 is configured to face the air blowing means 4. Specifically, the air blowing means 4 is formed of a substantially scroll-shaped casing portion 4a, an electric motor 4b disposed in the casing portion 4a, and a blade 4c rotated by the electric motor 4b. Here, the substrate portion 13a is sized to substantially cover the front surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 4a, and is provided to face the front surface side of the main body case 1 of the casing portion 4a.

  That is, it is possible to efficiently block the noise generated by the blowing means 4 from linearly propagating from the partition plate portion 11 to the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1, thereby reducing the noise of the electrostatic atomizer. It is something that can be done.

  In addition, the partition plate portion 11 is configured to be positioned at a substantially central portion between the front side surface 10 and the back side surface 5 of the main body case 1. Specifically, the partition plate portion 11 has a substantially flat plate shape and is substantially at the center of the front side surface 10 and the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1, and substantially the same as the front side surface 10 and the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1. It is located in parallel and is in contact with the left side surface 14 and the right side surface 15 of the main body case 1.

  That is, since the partition plate portion 11 is in contact with the left side surface 14 and the right side surface 15 of the main body case 1, the left side surface 14 and the right side surface 15 of the main body case 1 resonate due to vibration caused by moving the air blowing means 4. Can be reduced. Furthermore, since the partition plate portion 11 has a substantially flat plate shape and is positioned at a substantially central portion between the front side surface 10 and the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1, the left side surface 14 and the right side surface 15 of the main body case 1 are more efficiently used. The vibration at the approximate center can be reduced. Thereby, it can reduce that the left side surface 14 and the right side surface 15 of the main body case 1 resonate, and the noise of an electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.

  Further, the control means 13 is configured to be surrounded by the partition plate portion 11 and the substantially cover-shaped control cover portion 16. Specifically, the control cover portion 16 has substantially the same shape as the inner surface of the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1, that is, has a substantially bowl shape along the inner surface of the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1. That is, part of the noise transmitted into the first space portion 12 through the partition plate portion 11 is transferred from the partition plate portion 11 to the main body case 1 by the substrate portion 13a and the control cover portion 16 as the control means 13. Noise can be reduced by blocking the linear propagation to the front side surface 10. As a result, the noise of the electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.

  Further, the control cover portion 16 is configured to be in contact with the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1.

  In this way, the contact of the control cover portion 16 with the front side surface 10 can reduce the vibration of the front side surface 10 due to resonance with the vibration caused by moving the blower 4. Thereby, the noise of the electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.

  Further, the control cover portion 16 is configured to be in contact with the left and right side surfaces of the main body case 1. Thereby, since the vibration of the left side surface 14 and the right side surface 15 which are the left and right side surfaces of the main body case 1 can also be reduced, the noise of the electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.

  In addition, at least a part of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 is surrounded by the partition plate part 11 and the substantially bowl-shaped electrostatic atomizing cover part 7a. Here, the electrostatic atomizing means 7 will be described.

The heat dissipating fins 21 are provided. The Peltier element 20 applies a voltage of about 0.75 V to 2.8 V. In this embodiment, the discharge electrode 17 side is set to a low temperature, and the radiation fin 21 side is set to a high temperature. By cooling at the discharge electrode 17 portion, charged dew water is generated when dew condensation occurs. Such a discharge electrode 17 and the counter electrode 18 which are noise generation sources of the electrostatic atomizing means 7 are separated from the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1 by a substantially bowl-shaped electrostatic atomizing cover portion 7a. The front side surface 10 of the main body case 1 is surrounded by the portion 11. That is, noise generated from the discharge electrode 17 and the counter electrode 18 of the electrostatic atomization means 7 can reduce noise from the back side surface 5 and the front side surface 10 of the main body case 1.

  In addition, the electrostatic atomizing cover portion 7 a is configured to be in contact with the back side surface 5 of the main body case 1. Specifically, the upper part of the back side surface 5 of the main body case 1 and the electrostatic atomizing cover portion 7a are in contact with each other. That is, since the upper part of the back side surface 5 of the main body case 1 is in contact with the electrostatic atomizing cover portion 7a, the back side surface 5 of the main body case 1 resonates due to vibration caused by moving the air blowing means 4. Can be reduced.

The electric motor 4b is located in the casing part 4a. It was. Specifically, the electric motor side surface 22 of the electric motor 4 b is surrounded by the casing portion 4 a, and only the electric motor rear surface 23 of the electric motor 4 b is opposed to the suction port 9 of the blowing means 4. That is, the noise emitted from the motor side surface 22 of the motor 4b is blocked by the casing portion 4a. Thereby, the noise of the electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.

Specifically, the suction port 9 of the casing portion 4a which is the air blowing means 4 is opposed to the intake port 3 of the main body case 1, and the suction port side surface 24 of the casing portion 4a and the rear side surface 5 of the main body case 1 Has a predetermined distance, that is, the second space portion 25. That is, a part of the noise generated by the blowing means 4 is transmitted to the second space 25, and the sound traveling in the second space 25 and the reflected sound interfere with each other to attenuate and reduce the noise. can do. Based on these results, the noise of the electrostatic atomizer can be reduced.
