A humidification air passage (arrow X) and a heating air passage (arrow Y) that bypasses (does not pass through) the liquid refinement means 9 are branched. The fan motors 8a and 8b are one motor and two fans.

  First, the configuration of the air path for humidification (arrow X) will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the air passage leading from the fan motor 8 a to the liquid refinement means 9 is formed by the fan casing 10, and is connected to the lower opening of the cylindrical passage 12 as indicated by an arrow X. ing.

  The liquid refinement means 9 includes a cylindrical path 12, a rotation means 13 provided inside the cylindrical path 12, and a water supply pipe 14 as a liquid supply means for supplying water to the rotation means 13. I have. The water supply pipe 14 is provided with a constant flow valve 15, and the upstream pipe 16 of the constant flow valve 15 is arranged so as to come into contact with the cylindrical path 12 (in order to avoid complication in the drawing, it is slightly Is formed). Further, a water supply valve 17 is provided in the upstream pipe 16.

  The rotating means 13 is arranged at a rotating shaft 19 arranged in the vertical direction, an upper portion of the rotating shaft 19, a rotating motor 21 for driving the rotating shaft 19, and a lower portion of the rotating shaft 19. In addition, the pumping pipe 22 has an inverted conical shape, and a plurality of rotating plates 20a, 20b, and 20c that are fixed at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction of the outer surface of the pumping pipe 22.

  The plurality of rotary plates 20a, 20b, and 20c are arranged in the axial direction (vertical direction) of the rotary shaft 19 as the rotary plate 20a, the rotary plate 20b, and the rotary plate 20c in order from the top to the bottom. .

  Therefore, the pumping pipe 22 and the plurality of rotary plates 20 a, 20 b, 20 c are rotated by the rotary motor 21 around the rotary shaft 19.

  The rotary plate 20a, the rotary plate 20b, and the rotary plate 20c are all arranged in the horizontal direction. Among these, the pumping water is provided between the rotary plate 20a and the rotary plate 20b and between the rotary plate 20b and the rotary plate 20c. A contact plate 23 for dropping the water pumped up by the pipe 22 to the lower rotary plate 20b and the rotary plate 20c is provided in an annular shape.

  The annular backing plate 23 is supported by a plurality of support bars 24 from the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, in the portion between the rotary plate 20a and the rotary plate 20b of the pumping pipe 22, two horizontally long openings 25a at a predetermined angle for discharging the pumped water by centrifugal force due to rotation are provided. It is arranged.

  Further, two horizontally long openings 25b are arranged at a predetermined angle between the rotary plate 20b and the rotary plate 20c of the pumping pipe 22 so that the pumped water is ejected by centrifugal force caused by rotation.

  The opening direction of the two openings 25a is 180 degrees, the opening direction of the two openings 25b is 180 degrees, and the opening directions of the adjacent openings 25a and 25b are 90 degrees. Is in position.

  Further, the central angle θ of each opening 25a, 25b is 90 degrees, and as a result, the water pumped on the inner surface side of the pumping pipe 22 can be jetted in the outer circumferential direction of the pumping pipe 22, ie, the entire circumference. it can.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a water storage section 26 is provided at the lower part of the cylindrical path 12, but this water storage section 26 has an amount of water that cannot be pumped by the pump pipe 22, that is, the water storage section 26 at the end of the refining operation. In order to reduce the amount of stored water, for example, an inverted trapezoidal shape (convex downward) is formed in the lower part of the cylindrical path 12.

  And as shown in FIG. 3, the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 as an auxiliary heating means is provided in the liquid refinement means 9 side between the liquid refinement means 9 and the exhaust port 5.

  Next, a heating air passage (arrow Y) configuration that bypasses the liquid refinement means 9 will be described.

  As shown by the arrow Y in FIG. 2, the heating air passage (arrow Y) bypasses (does not pass through) the liquid refining means 9 from the fan motors 8 a and 8 b, and forms both outer peripheral sides of the cylindrical passage 12. Via, it joins with the humidification air passage (arrow X) in the exhaust chamber 33 and is discharged from the exhaust port 5.

  Further, as temperature detecting means, a temperature sensor 27 a is provided in the vicinity of the lower opening of the cylindrical path 12, and a temperature sensor 27 b is provided in the vicinity of the upper opening of the cylindrical path 12.

  Next, the configuration of the control means 28 will be described with reference to FIG.

  The control unit 28 includes a control unit 29, a remote controller 30 including a display unit and a driving operation switch (not shown), and a temperature sensor 27a and a temperature sensor 27b as temperature detection units.

  The control unit 29 includes a microcomputer (hereinafter referred to as a microcomputer, not shown). The microcomputer controls a pump for supplying hot water to the heat exchanger 7 and an operation for the fan motors 8a and 8b by an operation signal from the remote controller 30. In addition, control of the rotary motor 21 that drives the rotary shaft 19, control of the water supply valve 17, and the like are performed.

  Next, the operation (for humidification) in the above configuration will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 1, when using a sauna in the sauna room 1, first, a heat exchanger such as a gas water heater or an electric water heater (not shown) is passed through a pipe 31 through a pipe 31, as shown in FIG. 2. 7 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 shown in FIG. Further, city water is supplied to the water supply pipe 14 through a pipe 32.

  In this state, when the heat exchanger 7 is operated and the fan motors 8a and 8b are driven as shown in FIG. 2, the air in the sauna room 1 shown in FIG. The heated air is heated by the heat exchanger 7.

  The heated air is sent to the lower opening of the cylindrical path 12 by the fan motor 8a via the fan casing 10a, and the exhaust chamber 33 by the fan motor 8b via the fan casing 10b. Sent to.

  On the other hand, when the rotary motor 21 is driven, the rotary shaft 19 rotates at a high speed, and accordingly, the rotary plate 20a, the rotary plate 20b, the rotary plate 20c, and the pumping pipe 22 are rotated at a high speed.

  At this time, the water supply pipe 14 supplies water having a flow rate set by the constant flow valve 15 to a position near the rotary shaft 19 on the upper surface of the upper rotating plate 20a that rotates at a high speed. The water supplied to the upper surface of the upper rotating plate 20a spreads in the form of a thin film toward the outer peripheral direction due to the centrifugal force caused by the high-speed rotation, and this thin film-like water is moved tangentially from the outer peripheral edge of the rotating plate 20a. It is blown away at high speed.

  In this way, the water droplets scattered by the centrifugal force collide with the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12 and are crushed, thereby promoting the miniaturization of water.

  And most of the water supplied from the water supply pipe 14 to the upper surface of the upper rotating plate 20a is miniaturized at this time, and is mixed with the above-mentioned heated warm air in a steam state.

  On the other hand, among the water droplets scattered by the centrifugal force from the upper rotating plate 20a, a few water droplets that are not miniaturized and adhere to the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12 or a minute amount of water droplets that are condensed on the inner wall after being miniaturized are Then, along the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12, it flows down to the water storage section 26 and is stored.

  At this time, the pumping pipe 22 is rotated by the rotary motor 21 above the water reservoir 26. For this reason, when the amount of water stored in the water storage section 26 increases and the water surface approaches the lower end of the pumping pipe 22, the water stored in the water storage section 26 is rolled up in the pumping pipe 22 together with the air on the water surface. It travels upward.

  That is, since the pumping pipe 22 has an inverted conical shape as described above, a suction force works inside. For this reason, the water stored in the water storage section 26 is rolled up together with the air on the water surface, and moves upward along the inner wall of the pumping pipe 22.

  Then, the water moved upward along the inner wall of the pumping pipe 22 is first ejected from the opening 25b between the rotating plate 20b and the rotating plate 20c by a centrifugal force by rotation, hits the contact plate 23 provided in an annular shape, and rotates. Drops onto the plate 20c.

  Like the water supplied to the upper surface of the upper rotating plate 20a, the water that has dropped onto the rotating plate 20c spreads in a thin film shape toward the outer periphery due to centrifugal force due to high-speed rotation. It is blown away at high speed from the outer peripheral edge of the rotating plate 20c in the tangential direction.

  In this way, the water droplets scattered by the centrifugal force collide with the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12 and are crushed, thereby promoting the miniaturization of water.

  Further, the water that moved upward along the inner wall of the pumping pipe 22 and was not ejected from the opening 25b was ejected from the opening 25a between the rotating plate 20a and the rotating plate 20b by a centrifugal force by rotation, and was provided in an annular shape. It hits the contact plate 23 and falls to the rotating plate 20b.

  Like the water supplied to the upper surface of the upper rotating plate 20a, the water that has dropped onto the rotating plate 20b spreads in a thin film shape toward the outer periphery due to centrifugal force due to high-speed rotation. It is blown away at high speed from the outer peripheral edge of the rotating plate 20b in the tangential direction.

  In this way, the water droplets scattered by the centrifugal force collide with the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12 and are crushed, thereby promoting the miniaturization of water.

  At this time, the water that moves upward along the inner wall of the pumping pipe 22 is substantially uniform over the entire inner wall rather than turning spirally and moving upward because the rotary motor 21 rotates at high speed. To move straight up.

  That is, when the positions of the horizontally long openings 25a and 25b provided between the rotating plate 20a and the rotating plate 20b and between the rotating plate 20b and the rotating plate 20c are provided at the same position in the circumferential direction. The water that has moved upward along the inner wall of the pumping pipe 22 is ejected from the first opening 25b, and the water does not rise to the upper opening 25a.

  For this reason, as described above with reference to FIG. 4, the positions of the openings 25 a and 25 b are shifted in the circumferential direction as described above so that the direction in which water is ejected is different between the rotary plates 20 a to 20 c.

  As described above, the water pumped up by the pumping pipe 22 is almost all refined, similarly to the water supplied to the upper rotating plate 20a, and is mixed with heated warm air to be in a steam state and discharged from the upper opening. However, some of the water droplets are attached to the inner wall of the cylindrical path 12 without being miniaturized, and a small amount of water droplets are condensed on the inner wall after being miniaturized. Along the inner wall of the path 12, the water flows down to the water storage section 26 and is stored.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, since the heat exchanger 7 is provided to extend to the vicinity immediately below the water storage unit 26, the water that has passed through the heat exchanger 7 and has been warmed hits the water storage unit 26. The water accumulated in 26 is heated. In addition, in FIG. 3, although it seems that the heat exchanger 7 and the water storage part 26 are contacting, there exists a clearance gap and forms the ventilation path in fact.

  When the heated water is supplied from the pumping pipe 22 to the rotating plate 20b and the rotating plate 20c as described above, and blown away from the outer peripheral edge of the rotating plate 20b and the rotating plate 20c in a tangential direction at high speed, the water is scattered by centrifugal force. Compared to the case where the water droplet is not heated, the water droplet is easily vaporized, and the refinement of water is further promoted.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 is provided between the opening above the cylindrical path 12 of the liquid refinement means 9 and the exhaust port 5.

  By configuring in this way, the liquid that could not be miniaturized can be vaporized by the auxiliary heat exchanger 11, and as a result, only the micronized liquid can be discharged from the exhaust port 5.

  In addition, the sound due to the rotation of the rotating plates 20a, 20b, and 20c is blocked by the auxiliary heat exchanger 11, and the sound of the rotating plates 20a, 20b, and 20c is not emitted from the exhaust port 5, thereby preventing noise. It will also be possible.

  On the other hand, the high-temperature and low-humidity dry air that has flowed into the liquid refinement means 9 from the lower opening of the cylindrical path 12 is firstly blown away from the outer peripheral edges of the lower rotary plates 20b and 20c in a tangential direction at a high speed. It contacts and refines the water, the humidity rises, the heat of vaporization is taken away, and the temperature is a little lowered.

  Next, the inside of the cylindrical path 12 rises from the bottom to the top, comes into contact with the water blown at a high speed from the outer peripheral edge of the upper rotating plate 20a, refines the water, and further increases the humidity. At the same time, the heat of vaporization is further deprived, and the temperature is lowered.

  However, the air whose humidity has been increased and the heat of vaporization has been deprived and the temperature has decreased, as shown in FIG. 3, raises the temperature by the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 and vaporizes the water that has not been refined. The air contains fine water.

  At this time, since the heating air passage (arrow Y) passes through both outer peripheral side surfaces of the cylindrical passage 12, it is warmed by passing through the heat exchanger 7 in the heating air passage (arrow Y). The outer wall surface of the cylindrical path 12 is warmed by the heated air, and the heat of vaporization is lost due to miniaturization in the cylindrical path 12 to warm the air whose temperature has dropped, that is, the temperature drop in the cylindrical path 12 is reduced. can do.

  As described above, the high-humidity air including the hot water refined by the high-speed rotation of the rotating plates 20a, 20b, and 20c is opened by the fan motor 8a as shown in FIG. Is sent to the exhaust chamber 33 and mixed with the high temperature dry air that has passed through the heating air passage (arrow Y) in the exhaust chamber 33, so that the temperature lowered by the heat of vaporization rises further, and the sauna 5 is connected to the sauna through the exhaust port 5. It is supplied to the inside of the chamber 1.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 can be structured integrally with the heat exchanger 7. By adopting this structure, the apparatus can be simplified along with the reduction in the number of components, and the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 is arranged in the vicinity of the upstream side of the exhaust port 5 as shown in FIG. Therefore, it is possible to ensure a long path through which the fine water droplets released from the liquid micronization means 9 pass through the auxiliary heat exchanger 11.

  In other words, since the path through which the fine water droplets pass becomes long, it is possible to secure a long time for the fine water droplets to evaporate as a result, and the fine water droplets contained in the air are efficiently vaporized. In the passage stage of the exchanger 11, humidified air whose temperature is sufficiently lowered due to the latent heat of vaporization is obtained, and heat exchange with the auxiliary heat exchanger 11 can be performed efficiently.

  In the configuration in which the heat exchanger 7 and the auxiliary heat exchanger are integrated, as shown in FIG. 7, the heat exchanger is located downstream of the humidification air passage (arrow X) and the heating air passage (arrow Y). 7 will be used. With this configuration, the noise caused by the turbulence of the air flow at the confluence of the air passages can be insulated by the heat exchanger disposed downstream thereof, and as a result, the noise can be reduced as the apparatus.

  Next, a drying operation after the end of the miniaturization (sauna) operation, which is executed in order to eliminate the necessity of drainage, will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 8, when the sauna operation is ended by the operation of the timer or the remote controller 30, first, the water supply valve 17 is closed and the supply of water from the water supply pipe 14 to the upper surface of the upper rotating plate 20 a is stopped.

  At this time, the water supply source is only the water storage unit 26. While the pumping pipe 22 can pump the water, the pumping pipe 22 supplies water to the rotary plate 20b and the rotary plate 20c as described above, and most of the water is supplied. Is refined and discharged from the exhaust port 5 to the inside of the sauna room 1 by blowing air from the fan motors 8a and 8b.

  Since the water cannot be pumped by the pump 22 and the water remaining in the water storage section 26 continues to be circulated by the hot air from the fan motors 8a and 8b, the heat exchanger 7 and the auxiliary heat exchanger 11, By hitting the remaining water, the remaining water gradually decreases.

  In the case of the present embodiment, the amount of remaining water in the water storage unit 26 when pumping by the water pumping tube 22 becomes impossible is about 5 cc (from the experiment), and if the drying operation is performed for 10 minutes, the remaining water in the water storage unit 26 can be dried. .

  At this time, as described above, the heat exchanger 7 is provided to extend to the vicinity immediately below the water storage section 26, so that the water accumulated in the water storage section 26 can be heated, and the remaining water in the water storage section 26 can be heated. Can be dried more quickly.

  As shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, this drying operation may be performed only for 10 minutes with a timer. The temperature sensor 27a provided at the inlet of the liquid micronizer 9 and the temperature sensor 27b provided at the outlet shown in FIG. The drying operation may be terminated using the detected temperatures (T1, T2).

  That is, when it is desired to shorten the drying operation time as much as possible for energy saving, if there is residual water in the liquid refinement means 9, the evaporation heat is taken away from the blown air when the water evaporates. Utilizing the fact that the air temperature is lower, the drying state can be determined from the temperature difference (X) at the entrance and exit, and the drying operation can be terminated.

  A humidity sensor may be used instead of the temperature sensors 27a and 27b, and the dry state can be determined more clearly.

  According to the above-described configuration and operation, as described above, the pumping pipe 22 is rotated by the same rotary motor 21 as the rotary plates 20a, 20b, and 20c, so that water accumulated in the water storage section 26 is sucked up and rotated. The water sucked up from the opening 25 between the rotary plate 20b and the rotary plate 20c and the rotary plate 20a can be supplied to the rotary plates 20b and 20c. As a result, the pumping pipe 22 functions as a circulation of the pump and the rotary plate 20b. , 20c also serves as a liquid supply, and it is possible to realize liquid circulation and liquid supply to the rotating plate with a simple configuration.

  Further, since the heating air passage (arrow Y) passes through both outer peripheral side surfaces of the cylindrical passage 12, the air in the heating air passage (arrow Y) that has been warmed through the heat exchanger 7 is heated. As a result, the outer wall surface of the cylindrical path 12 is warmed, and the heat of vaporization is lost due to miniaturization in the cylindrical path 12 to warm the air whose temperature has dropped, that is, the temperature drop in the cylindrical path 12 is reduced. Can do.

  Further, even during the drying operation, the heat of the air in the heating air passage (arrow Y) that has been warmed through the heat exchanger 7 can be effectively used for heating the cylindrical passage 12. The drying operation time for drying the residual water in the channel 12 can be shortened.

  As described above, when the liquid refining device 3 is installed in the sauna room 1 and used as a sauna device, the water collecting pipe is sucked up by rotating the pumping pipe with the same rotary motor as the rotating plate. At the same time, the water sucked up from the opening between the upper rotating plate and the lower rotating plate can be supplied to the rotating plate. As a result, the pumping pipe also serves as the circulation of the pump and the liquid supply to the rotating plate. With the configuration, liquid circulation and liquid supply to the rotating plate can be realized.

  Further, since the heat exchanger 7 is provided to extend to a position immediately below the water storage section 26, the air that has passed through the heat exchanger 7 and has been warmed hits the water storage section 26, thereby heating the water accumulated in the water storage section 26. .

  When the heated water is supplied from the pumping pipe 22 to the rotating plate 20b and the rotating plate 20c as described above, and blown away from the outer peripheral edge of the rotating plate 20b and the rotating plate 20c in a tangential direction at high speed, the water is scattered by centrifugal force. Compared to the case where the water droplet is not heated, the water droplet is easily vaporized, and the refinement of water is further promoted.

  In addition, the air passage connecting the suction port 4 and the exhaust port 5 has a humidification air passage (arrow X) passing through the liquid refinement means and a heating air passage (arrow Y) bypassing (not passing) the liquid refinement means. The temperature in the cylindrical path 12 is increased by providing a heating air path (arrow Y) on both sides of the cylindrical path 12 of the liquid refinement means 9. Therefore, the miniaturization efficiency can be increased.

  In addition, it is possible to eliminate residual water by drying operation without specially draining the remaining non-micronized water, eliminating the need for piping work to treat the water that could not be refined as wastewater. As a result, there is an effect that the construction work of the sauna device is simplified.

  As described above, the liquid miniaturization apparatus of the present invention sucks up the water accumulated in the water storage section by rotating the pumping pipe with the same rotary motor as the rotary plate, and between the upper rotary plate and the lower rotary plate. Since the water sucked up from the opening can be supplied to the rotating plate, it is possible to realize liquid circulation and liquid supply to the rotating plate with a simple configuration.

  Therefore, for example, utilization to a sauna device, a humidifier, a cooling device, a spraying device, a cleaning device, a plant growing facility, and the like is expected. Moreover, it can be used not only for warm water but also for other liquid refining equipment such as oil and detergent.
