Description

  The present invention relates to an air cleaning humidifier and a facial device that can safely discharge residual water remaining in a water storage chamber.

  Conventionally, in this type of humidifier, when nano mist and negative ions are generated, the indoor air passes through the scattered water, so that dust and germs floating in the air are mixed in the water. In addition, since calcium and chlorine in tap water coexist in the water, it is necessary to periodically discard the remaining water in the reservoir, and a drainage tank dedicated to drainage is prepared. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1.)

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 3-168546

  By the way, with this conventional one, if there is still water in the water supply tank and the float switch malfunctions and opens the drain plug, the drain tank has only the volume of residual water in the reservoir, so the increment is for drainage. In order to prevent this from overflowing from the tank and soiling the floor surface, it is only necessary to remove the water supply tank when draining to the drainage tank.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention has a configuration in which, in particular, a processing chamber through which air passes by driving a blower, and water supplied from a water supply tank provided at a lower portion of the processing chamber is stored at a constant water level and heated by a heater. A water storage chamber that is heated to a predetermined temperature, a cylindrical rotating body whose lower end is submerged in the water stored in the water storage chamber, and a space around the outer periphery of the rotating body. A cylindrical porous body that is rotated and sputtered by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation, and is blown against the blower; a blower cylinder that is located on the outer periphery of the porous body and that collides with water scattered from the porous body; The nano mist and negative ions generated by crushing water in the body and the blower cylinder are released into the room. The water tank is connected to the water storage chamber below the constant water level chamber. When storing in the constant water level room And a drainage lever that opens and closes the drainage valve via the latching bracket, and the drainage lever is an operation that opens the drainage valve. The drainage tray that drains after draining the residual water in the water storage chamber that is drained by opening the valve is removed so that it cannot be extracted when the drain valve is open.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, the lock of the locking metal fitting by storing the water supply tank in the constant water level chamber is such that the rod that is always pushed up by the compression spring is pushed down against the compression spring by the storage of the water supply tank. The locking bracket is locked.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the water supply tank is set by the locking metal fitting and the drain lever, it is prohibited to open the drain valve, and the drain tray becomes full and overflows. When the water tank is pulled out and the drain valve is opened, the drain tray is locked by the drain lever to prevent it from being pulled out, and the drain tray is pulled out during drainage. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the floor surface from being soiled, and in any case, it is possible to reliably prevent the floor surface from being soiled.

  Further, according to claim 2, the lock when the water tank is stored is a very simple structure called a compression spring and a lot, so that a secure and strong lock can be realized and it can always be used safely with a good lock. It is.

Next, an air cleaning humidifier and a facial device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
1 is an air purifier humidifier that cleans and humidifies the interior of a room and a facial instrument that has a facial appearance by directly applying nano mist and negative ions to the human face. A cylindrical guide tube 5 for guiding the sucked room air to a blower 4 made of a sirocco fan that is driven to rotate in the center is provided. The guide tube 5 covers the blower 4 and hangs down below the blower 4. 6 is provided.

  A processing chamber 7 covers the guide cylinder 5. A water storage chamber 8 made of aluminum die cast is provided in the lower portion of the processing chamber 7, and a water supply tank 9 is set in the storage chamber 8. The constant water level chamber 10 communicated through the water passage 11 is supplied with water from the water supply tank 9 by a drop method, and always stores water at a predetermined water level.

  Reference numeral 12 denotes a drive motor that supports the water storage chamber 8 below the water storage chamber 8, and is fixed to a substrate 14 that is covered with the cover body 13 and forms the bottom of the instrument body 1. Is formed with a bowl-shaped running water groove 15 projecting outward.

  Reference numeral 16 denotes a cylindrical rotating body that is supported by a drive shaft 17 that submerses the lower portion of the water storage chamber 8 and rotates the blower 4 through the water storage chamber 8. The diameter of the rotating body 16 gradually increases toward the surface, and the rotating body 16 rotates to push up the water by the centrifugal force of the rotation, and to scatter it from the plurality of scattering ports 18 formed at the upper end to the outer periphery. .

  19 is a cylindrical porous body that is positioned on the outer periphery of the rotating body 16 at a predetermined interval and rotates together with the rotating body 16. Water and air are scattered by centrifugal force generated by the rotation, and the entire peripheral wall is formed. By making the porous portion 20 made of a large number of slits, wire mesh, punching metal, etc. formed or passing and collapsing, the water particles are refined to produce nano mist, and the water particles are refined. The negative ions are generated by the Leonard effect, and the water particles that have passed through the porous portion 20 further collide with the inner wall of the blower cylinder 6 on the outer periphery to be refined.

  A heater 21 is wound around the outer periphery of the water storage chamber 8 so that the water stored in the water storage chamber 8 is heated and kept at 38 ° C. with a large “strong” air flow rate and around 34 ° C. with a small “low” air flow rate. Thus, the blowing temperature is maintained at 32 ° C., and the heater 21 is turned on / off by the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22 including a thermistor discharged from the bottom of the water storage chamber 8 to maintain a predetermined temperature. Also, “normal water” for forcibly turning off the heater 21 can be set.

  23 is a dish-shaped water flow blocking means which covers the upper surface of the water storage chamber 8 so as to face the lower ends of the blower cylinder 6 and the porous body 19. An insertion hole 24 of the rotating body 16 is formed at the center, and this insertion hole Since the water surface is partitioned by the tip of the support piece 25 extending from the outer periphery 24 to the outer periphery, the water flow to be rotated by the rotation of the rotating body 16 is prevented, and the water flow is easily performed by the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the rotating body 16. The water flow blocking means 23 receives relatively large water droplets that have not been refined by colliding with the upper blowing cylinder 6 or the porous body 19, Bash and bashing sound generated by the water droplets falling directly on the water surface of the water storage chamber 8 can be prevented. For this reason, the water drops gently from the outer periphery toward the insertion hole 24 at the center. Inclined and ensures water drops In are those that can be returned to the water storage chamber 8 in a natural form.

  Reference numeral 26 denotes a flow passage that discharges nanomist and negative ions generated by the rotational drive of the rotary body 16 and the porous body 19 from the blower outlet 27 at the top of the processing chamber 7 by driving the blower 4. And a flow path that rises between the processing chamber 7, the guide cylinder 5, and the blower cylinder 6 and goes to the outlet 27 through a gap between the water flow blocking means 23 and the water flow blocking means 23.

  A drain valve 28 is provided in the water passage 11 communicating with the water storage chamber 8 and is always pressed toward the valve closing side. The water supply tank 9 is set (stored) in the constant water level chamber 10 so that the compression spring 29 The lot 30 that is constantly pushed up by the water tank 9 is pushed down against the compression spring 29 in the water supply tank 9, and the lower end of the lot 30 presses the drain valve 28 to lock and lock the locking fitting 31 that opens. By preventing the drainage of the remaining water in the water storage chamber 8 when the water supply tank 9 is set (stored), the locking metal 31 is moved in the valve opening direction by being further pushed down. The pushing down of the drain lever 32 to be moved is also prevented, and by removing the water supply tank 9, the lot 30 is lifted upward by the compression spring 29, and the lock of the locking metal fitting 31 is released. It is intended to return to the state.

  33 is a drain tray with an open top surface for receiving the drainage of the remaining water in the water storage chamber 8 and is provided so as to be freely inserted into and removed from the instrument main body 1. A handle 34 is formed on the front surface, and the water storage chamber 8 is provided each time the operation is finished. The drainage tray 33 has a capacity enough to accommodate the remaining water in the water storage chamber 8, but is not limited to the capacity to accommodate the water supply in the water supply tank 9. The drainage tray 33 is formed with a protruding wall 35 on the inner rear side, and the drainage lever 32 is provided with a locking bracket 31 via a locking bracket 31. The lower end of the drainage lever 32 is positioned below and outside the projection wall 35 and the drainage tray 33 is pulled out during drainage by the projection wall 35 and the drainage lever 32. Prevent by combining When the drainage is completed and the drainage lever 32 is lifted and returned to the original position, the drainage valve 28 is closed by the locking fitting 31, the drainage tray 33 is easily pulled out, and the drainage stored in the drainage tray 33 is transferred to the kitchen or the like. Can be discarded.

  During the drainage in the water storage chamber 8, the lot 30 is pushed up by the compression spring 29, so that the lower end of the lot 30 is positioned on the stepped portion 36 in the locking bracket 31 and the water supply tank 9 is being drained. When trying to set in the constant water level chamber 10, the lower end of the lot 30 is placed on the step portion 36 to prevent further lowering of the lot 30, and the water supply tank 9 is reset in the constant water level chamber 10 during drainage. This is prohibited.

  37 is an umbrella-shaped shielding plate provided in the middle of the drive shaft 17 between the water storage chamber 8 through which the drive shaft 17 penetrates and the cover body 13. Water leaking from the water storage chamber 8 is transmitted to the drive shaft 17 portion. Intrusion into the drive motor 12 is prevented.

Reference numeral 38 denotes a water supply port cap of the water supply tank 9, which forms a drop-type constant water level chamber 10 by pushing up an internal valve mechanism (not shown) by a fixed support portion (not shown). .
Reference numeral 39 denotes a tank lid for taking in and out the water supply tank 9, and 40 denotes a handle for attaching and detaching the lid 2. A wind direction plate 41 is provided at the outlet 27 to change the blowing direction of nano mist and negative ions.

Next, the operation of the air cleaning humidifier and the facial device showing this embodiment will be described.
When the operation switch (not shown) is turned on, the heater 21 is turned on to directly heat the water stored at a constant water level in the water storage chamber 8, and the water stored in the water storage chamber 8 reaches a predetermined temperature. This is detected by the temperature sensor 22, and the energization of the heater 21 is turned off via the control circuit and the drive motor 12 is started to drive.

  When the drive motor 12 starts driving, the blower 4 and the rotating body 16 that are coaxially fixed to the drive shaft 17 are rotated, and the rotation of the blower 4 sucks indoor air sucked from the suction port 3 using the guide cylinder 5 as a guide. After that, it is discharged below the processing chamber 7.

  On the other hand, in the rotation of the rotating body 16, the water stored in the water storage chamber 8 heated to a predetermined temperature rises by being pushed up along the outer and inner walls of the rotating body 16 by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the lower end of the rotating body 16. The water stored in the outer periphery of the plurality of spray holes 18 is scattered to the outer periphery, and the water stored in the outer periphery is located at a predetermined interval on the upper outer periphery of the rotator 16 and rotates with the rotator 16. What collides with the porous part 20 of the body 19 and crushed or passes through the porous part 20 collides with the inner wall of the blower cylinder 6 on the outer periphery to be refined.

  At this time, the water stored in the water storage chamber 8 which is circular and has no resistance due to the rotation of the rotating body 16 tries to form a water flow rotating in the same direction as the rotating body 16, but the tip of the support piece 25 of the water flow blocking means 23. Since the part is immersed in the water surface and becomes a resistance, and the formation of a rotating water flow is prevented, the centrifugal force acts sufficiently and the water is pushed up on the peripheral wall of the rotating body 16 and is crushed well as described above. Is.

  And by crushing and refinement | miniaturization of this heated storage water, while producing | generating a nano mist, a negative ion is generated by the Leonard effect, and this generated nano mist and a negative ion are blown toward the process chamber 7 lower side of the above-mentioned blower 4. After hitting the water flow blocking means 23 and dropping the large and heavy mist onto the water flow blocking means 23, only the fine nano mist and negative ions are passed through the flow path 26 from the upper outlet 27 to the wind direction plate 41. The air is discharged in the blowing direction set in step 1 to perform humidification and air purification in the room.

  Further, the water flow blocking means 23 receives a drop of a relatively large water droplet that has not been refined by colliding with the upper blowing cylinder 6 or the porous body 19, so that the water droplet directly falls on the water surface of the water storage chamber 8. The generated bash and bash can be prevented from falling sound, and the water flow blocking means 23 is gently inclined downward from the outer periphery toward the insertion hole 24 at the center, so that it has dropped. The water droplet is surely returned to the water storage chamber 8 from the insertion hole 24, and the sound when returning is quiet.

  Furthermore, since the released nanomist was originally produced from heated water storage, it was possible to obtain a warm and non-chilled nanomist and negative ion release, which can be directly touched by the skin and used regardless of the winter season. Furthermore, since the supplied nanomist is a good intermediate temperature that is neither high temperature nor low temperature around 32 ° C, it is safe and can be used safely without the risk of burns due to precipitation of charcoal or equipment overturning. .

  Negative ions aspirated from the lungs enter the blood, and their reduction action prevents blood oxidation and makes the blood smooth. At the same time, circulation is improved and blood is distributed to the peripheral blood vessels, causing pain and discipline. It is thought that can be eased.

  In addition, negative ions have fatigue recovery effect, mental stability effect, blood purification effect, resistance enhancement effect, autonomic nerve adjustment effect, etc., and nano mist spreads to every corner of the air and suppresses dirty air and bacteria However, it still decomposes and has a deodorizing effect, dust removing effect, disinfecting effect, and of course a humidifying effect. This humidification is smooth and moist air with no stickiness, and it penetrates through the pores. It has the effect of keeping the hair moisturized, and the release of a large amount of negative ions and nanomist capable of obtaining these effects increases these effects.

  Next, when the heated water stored in the water storage chamber 8 is released and reduced as nano mist one after another by the rotating body 16 and the porous body 19, the water level in the water storage chamber 8 decreases, and the water corresponding to the decreased water level is supplied to the water supply tank. 9 is automatically replenished, and if the water storage temperature is lowered by this water replenishment, the heater 21 is turned on to always keep the water storage temperature at a predetermined temperature. Can be continuously supplied.

  Furthermore, when the water supply in the water supply tank 9 becomes empty, the tank lid 39 is opened, the water supply tank 9 is taken out from the appliance main body 1, the tap water is replenished from the kitchen faucet, and the same is again applied. It can be used as described above, and is very convenient to use.

  Also, in order to release nano mist and negative ions into the room, the indoor air sucked from the suction port 3 by driving the blower 4 intersects with the water stored in the processing chamber 7, so that dust and germs in the air are finally obtained. In particular, since it is mixed in the stored water, the indoor air cleaning is performed strongly and satisfactorily.

  Next, when this appliance body 1 is used as a facial device, by bringing the face close to the air outlet 27, the nano mist released from the air outlet 27 enters the facial skin from countless small pores on the face, It enhances the skin's water retention capacity and removes impurities in the skin, while negative ions remove the waste from the surface of the skin and make it possible to regain beautiful and shiny skin. It can be repeated every day while having fun.

  It is necessary to drain the remaining water of the stored water every time the humidified air cleaning operation and the beautiful face operation are completed. First, if the water supply tank 9 is not removed from the constant water level chamber 10, the locking fitting 31 is locked at the lower end of the lot 30. Since the drain valve 28 cannot move in the valve opening direction, when the water supply tank 9 is removed from the constant water level chamber 10, the lot 30 is lifted upward by the compression spring 29, and the locking metal 31 is locked by the lower end of the lot 30. Therefore, the drainage operation is lifted for the first time, and when the drainage lever 32 is pulled down, the drainage valve 28 is pressed through the locking fitting 31 to open, and the remaining water in the water storage chamber 8 is lowered. The drainage tray 33 is drained.

  At this time, even if the drain tray 33 is pulled out by holding the handle portion 34 of the drain tray 33, the protruding wall 35 in the drain tray 33 cannot be pulled out by engaging the lower end of the drain lever 32. Further, it is possible to surely prevent water leakage caused by the drainage tray 33 being pulled out during drainage, and even if an attempt is made to reset the water supply tank 9 to the constant water level chamber 10 in this state, the water supply tank 9 Since the lower end of the lot 30 pressed in place is placed on the stepped portion 36 of the locking metal 31 and does not descend any further, the water supply tank 9 cannot be reset, and the drainage tray 33 is increased due to an increase in drainage due to the resetting. A full water leak is definitely prevented, and it can always be used with peace of mind.

  Then, after confirming that all the remaining water in the water storage chamber 8 is collected in the drain tray 33 and draining is completed, the draining lever 32 is pulled up and returned to its original position, so that the locking bracket 31 returns to its original posture. The drainage operation is completed by releasing the pressure of the drainage valve 28, closing the valve, pulling out the drainage tray 33 with the handle 34, and discarding the remaining water in the kitchen and returning it to the original state. Residual water contaminated with dust and germs can be disposed of very easily, and it is always possible to clean the room cleanly and have a local beauty.

  In this way, since the locking fitting 31 is located in the middle of the drain valve 28, the lot 30 and the drain lever 32, they do not directly engage each other and do not interfere with each other, and each operation is smooth and reliable. It has a simple structure and can be used safely and safely without worrying about malfunction or failure.
