  The humidified air conditioner according to claim 1 of the present invention is a suction port for taking air in the bathroom into the humidified air conditioner, an air heating means for heating the air, a circulating air blowing means for circulating the air, A blowing port that blows the air into the bathroom by a circulating air blowing unit, a ventilation path through which the air reaches the blowing port from the circulating air blowing unit, and a wind direction blown from the blowing port are changed. A wind direction control unit, a ventilation unit for ventilating the bathroom, an operation unit for operating the humidified air conditioner to display an operation state, and an operation control unit for controlling the operation, and sucking air in the bathroom A first heating means for heating and a humidifying section for humidifying the taken-in air are provided, and a second heating means for heating the air humidified by the humidifying section is provided. Humidifying unit is placed between the air path of the stage, it has a configuration that was placed blower downstream of the second heating means. As a result, the circulation air blowing means is provided on the downstream side of the first heating means and the second heating means so that the wind speed is made uniform and efficient humidification is performed, and the air heated by the first heating means is humidified by the humidifying unit. When this is done, the effect of supplying high-temperature and high-humidity air into the bathroom is achieved by reheating the air whose temperature has been lowered by the heat of vaporization by the second heating means.

  Further, the first heating means may be made larger than the heating capacity of the second heating means. As a result, when the air heated by the first heating means passes through the second heating means, the temperature difference from the air can be reduced, unnecessary heating during heating operation can be omitted, and reheating required during humidification operation can be reduced. There is an effect that it can be heated.

  Moreover, you may make it the structure which installed the 2nd heating means and the ventilation means above the humidification means. Thereby, the water or hot water supplied to the humidifying unit has an effect of preventing water droplets caused by excess water not included in the air from flying to the second heating means on the downstream side due to the flow of wind.

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

The first heat exchanger 12 using hot water as air heating means for heating the air taken in from the inlet 10 in the vicinity of the inlet 10 in the vicinity of the inlet 10 and the humidifier 13 for humidifying the heated air And a second heat exchanger 14 that reheats the humidified air, and circulates as a circulation blower that circulates air to the outlet 11 side, that is, the downstream side with respect to the second heat exchanger 14. The fan motor 15 is disposed, and the circulation fan motor 15 is driven so that the air taken in from the suction port 10 is in the order of the first heat exchanger 12, the humidifying unit 13, and the second heat exchanger 14. Humidified by going through The wind. The warm air passes through the ventilation path 16 that connects the circulation fan motor 15 to the air outlet 11 that blows air into the bathroom 1 and reaches the air outlet 11.

  Further, the warm air is supplied by a wind direction plate 17 as a wind direction control means for changing the direction of the air blown from the outlet 11, and a motor, preferably a stepping motor (not shown), as a means for operating the wind direction plate 17. The air can be blown in any direction of the bathroom 1.

  In addition, the 2nd heat exchanger 14 and the circulation fan motor 15 are located in the upper side with respect to the humidification part 13, when the main body 8 of a humidification air conditioning apparatus is installed.

  As the circulation fan motor 15, for example, a sirocco fan is used as a fan and a DC is used as a motor.

  In the first embodiment, the first heat exchanger 12 and the second heat exchanger 14 using hot water are used as the air heating means, but instead of the first heat exchanger 12, a PTC heater, a halogen heater, Any other type of heater such as a sheathed heater can be used.

  Similarly, the second heat exchanger 14 may be anything that can be heated by another electric heater such as a PTC heater, a halogen heater, or a sheathed heater.

  Further, the second heat exchanger 14 may have a size corresponding to the ability to reheat the temperature drop when humidifying the air by the humidifying unit 13, that is, a heating capacity smaller than that of the first heat exchanger 12.

  In addition, the humidifying unit 13 may be any humidifier that can humidify, such as a nozzle type that sprays water in the form of a mist, a type that crushes water droplets using centrifugal force by a rotating body, and a vaporization type that uses a porous filter.

  The humidified air conditioner is provided with a ventilation unit 19 provided with a ventilation fan motor 18 shown in FIG. 2 as ventilation means for discharging the air in the bathroom 1 to the outside outside the inspection port 5 side of the main body 8 shown in FIG. Are provided with screws, and the ventilation section 19 and the main body 8 communicate with each other, and a damper 20 that adjusts the communicating opening shape (corresponding to the opening area) can be provided to ventilate the bathroom 1.

  In addition, the structure which connects the humidified air conditioning apparatus which provided the ventilation means inside the main body 8 without the damper 20, or an external ventilation apparatus and a humidified air conditioning apparatus via duct piping may be sufficient.

  In addition, the humidified air conditioner includes an electrical board 21 as operation control means for controlling operation, and an operation means for operating the humidified air conditioner from the undressing room 22 to display the operation state. A dressing room remote controller 23 on the wall reachable by the person, and a bathroom remote control 24 on the wall reachable in the bathroom 1 as an operation means for operating the humidified air conditioner from the bathroom 1 and displaying the operating state. The humidified air conditioner can be operated by operations from the room remote controller 23 and the bathroom remote controller 24.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the direction of warm air blown into the bathroom 1 can be changed by operating the bathroom remote controller 24 or the dressing room remote controller 23. The wind direction plate 17 becomes an angle A0 set by the user (user) for each operation mode, and the setting of the angle A0 is selected by the user from several preset angles. Generally, it is set toward the washing space 3 shown in FIG.

  The angle is an angle on the washing space 3 side between the ceiling surface 4 and the wind direction plate 17.

  Further, the user can set the driving time T0 of the driving mode, that is, the driving end time (for example, the driving duration can be set every 10 minutes up to a minimum time of 10 minutes and a maximum of 1 hour).

  When the circulation fan motor 15 is activated, the air sucked from the suction port 10 reaches the air outlet 11 through the first heat exchanger 12, the humidifier 13, the second heat exchanger 14, and the ventilation path 16. Then, a space in which the temperature / humidity is increased by the warm air humidified in the bathroom 1 at an angle A0 determined by the wind direction plate 17 is created.

  In addition, since the temperature and humidity of the air in the bathroom 1 gradually increase and change, the temperature and humidity of the sucked air pass through the place where the sucked air in the vicinity of the suction port 10 provided in the main body 8 passes. When the temperature sensor 25 and the humidity sensor 26 detect the temperature and the temperature exceeds a set temperature threshold, the air flow rate by the circulation fan motor 15 may be reduced or the circulation fan motor 15 may be stopped. . Since it is not necessary to raise the temperature of air any more, the number of rotations of the circulation fan motor can be reduced or stopped, and energy saving can be improved.

  Further, when the humidity rises and the numerical value detected by the humidity sensor 26 exceeds a set humidity threshold, the humidifying function of the humidifying unit 13 may be stopped. Since it is not necessary to raise the humidity of air any more, the humidification function can be stopped and energy saving can be improved.

  The humidified air conditioner according to the present invention can be applied to a device having a function of heating and humidifying a target space.
