Description

  The present invention relates to a humidifier, and more particularly to a vaporizing humidifier.

  In recent years, humidifiers for providing appropriate humidity to indoor air have been widely used due to an increase in health orientation. In particular, vaporizing humidifiers that enable humidification without heating and evaporation of water are capable of adjusting humidity without changing the room temperature, and thus are widely used.

  Vaporizing humidifiers have a humidifying filter impregnated with water and a blower fan inside the air passage connecting the air inlet and the air inlet, and the air passage passes through the air inlet by the operation of the air fan. The air introduced into the inside is passed through a humidifying filter, and humid air containing vaporized water sent to the downstream side of the humidifying filter is sent out indoors through an air supply port.

  The humidification filter is a sheet of a material (nonwoven fabric or the like) that has high water content and can be ventilated, and is arranged inside the air inlet so as to be able to contact the air introduced into the air passage. The humidifying filter has a lower part immersed in a water tray that stores a certain amount of water, and is replenished with water lost by vaporization by sucking up from the water tray. A water storage tank is provided on one side of the water tray, and the water in the water tank is sequentially replenished in accordance with the drop in the water surface due to the suction of the humidifying filter, and a constant amount of water is stored inside the water tray. (For example, refer patent document 1).

  By the way, in the humidifier of the said structure, the water storage tank for supplying water to the said water receiving tray other than the water receiving tray which supplies water directly to a humidification filter is provided. For this reason, when the water in the water storage tank runs out, it is necessary to remove the water storage tank from the humidifier and supply water to the water storage tank. Depending on the shape of the water storage tank and the water supply location, it may be difficult to supply water to the water storage tank. Also, the water storage tank filled with water becomes heavy and difficult to carry.

  Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, Patent Document 2 discloses a vaporizing humidifier in which a humidifying filter is installed in a water storage container for storing water and water is supplied directly to the water storage container. In this vaporizing humidifier, the water storage container corresponds to a conventional water tray and also has a function as a water storage tank, so there is no need to remove the water storage tank and supply water.

JP-A-2005-331181 Japanese Patent No. 6179948

  By the way, in the vaporization type humidifier disclosed by patent document 2, the water inlet for supplying water to a water storage container is provided in the upper part of the vaporization type humidifier main body. Moreover, an exhaust port for discharging the humidified air is also provided at the upper part of the vaporizing humidifier body. For this reason, when water is poured from the water inlet while the vaporizing humidifier is in operation, there is a risk that the water will not enter the water inlet well due to the effect of air discharged from the exhaust outlet.

  One aspect of the present invention is a humidifier capable of appropriately pouring water into a water inlet without being affected by air discharged from an air outlet when water is poured from the water inlet while the humidifier is in operation. It aims at realizing.

Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail. In the present embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a vaporizing humidifier will be described. The humidifier to which the present invention is applied may be a humidifier of a type other than the vaporizing humidifier, for example, a steam (heating) type or an ultrasonic type humidifier.

(Overview of humidifier)
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external appearance of a humidifier 101 according to the present embodiment, wherein (a) is a perspective view showing a state in which the back cover 1 is mounted, and (b) shows a state in which the back cover 1 is removed. It is a perspective view.

  2A is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the humidifier 101 is provided with an exhaust port (air outlet) 11 and a water supply port 12 on the upper surface. The exhaust port 11 is an opening for discharging the air humidified inside the humidifier 101. The water supply port 12 is an opening for supplying water to the water storage tray 2 below the humidifier 101.

  The exhaust port 11 is a front surface side of the humidifier 101 (the side on which the operation panel or the like is provided, that is, the formation surface of the blowout path 20 that guides the humidified air from the water storage tray 2 to the exhaust port 11 (the other side surface of the main body). And is designed to discharge the air humidified on the front side of the humidifier 101. On the other hand, the water supply port 12 is a rear surface side of the humidifier 101 opposite to the exhaust port 11 (formation surface (main body of the water supply channel (groove 13, first water supply channel 14, second water supply channel 15) to the water storage tray 2) 1) and is designed to supply water from the upper part of the humidifier 101 to the water storage tray 2 provided at the lower part. Thus, the water supply port 12 and the exhaust port 11 are not adjacent. That is, the water supply port 12 is formed at a position that is not affected by the air discharged from the exhaust port 11. Here, the position that is not affected by the air discharged from the exhaust port 11 refers to a position where water in the water being poured is not scattered by the air discharged from the exhaust port 11. Specifically, the position not affected by the air discharged from the exhaust port 11 refers to a position where water in the water supply does not come into contact with the air discharged from the exhaust port 11.

  As shown to (a) of FIG. 1, the detachable back cover 1 is provided in the back surface of the humidifier 101. As shown in FIG. When the back cover 1 is removed, the groove 13 formed so as to connect the water supply port 12 and the water storage tray 2 is exposed as shown in FIG. The water poured from the water supply port 12 is poured into the water storage tray 2 through the groove 13. The exposed surface of the groove 13 is closed by attaching the back cover 1 to the humidifier 101. Thereby, as shown to (a) of FIG. 2, the 1st water supply path 14 from the water supply port 12 to the water storage tray 2 is formed. The first water supply path 14 communicates with a second water supply path 15 formed in the water storage tray 2 described later.

  The water storage tray 2 is detachably provided from the back side of the humidifier 101. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1A, the water storage tray 2 is structured to be removed from the humidifier 101 by moving in the direction of the arrow from the state of being attached to the humidifier 101.

  The water storage tray 2 is formed with a second water supply passage 15 that communicates with the first water supply passage 14 in a state of being mounted on the humidifier 101. Therefore, the water storage tray 2 is filled with water by supplying water from the first water supply path 14 to the second water supply path 15.

  A humidification filter 16 is installed in the water storage tray 2. The humidification filter 16 is a sheet of a material (nonwoven fabric or the like) that has high water content and can be ventilated, and is disposed so as to come into contact with the air fed into the water storage tray 2 from the air passage 17 in the humidifier 101. ing. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2A, the humidification filter 16 is installed in a state where the lower part is immersed in the water storage tray 2 for storing a fixed amount of water. That is, the humidification filter 16 is installed in the water storage tray 2 so that air can pass through while contacting the upper part (water absorption part) not immersed in water. Therefore, the water contained in the humidifying filter 16 is vaporized by the air in contact with the humidifying filter 16 and is discharged to the outside as the humidified air.

  Here, the height of the humidifying filter 16 from the bottom surface of the water storage tray 2 is preferably equal to the height from the bottom surface to the top surface of the water storage tray 2, for example. Thereby, the air which controlled humidity appropriately can be discharged | emitted from the exhaust port 11 by reducing the air which does not pass the humidification filter 16 as much as possible. Therefore, when the height from the bottom surface of the water storage tray 2 is H, it is preferable that the height of the humidifying filter 16 is also H.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the humidifier 101 is provided with a blower fan 18 for sending air into the blower passage 17 and a motor 19 for driving the blower fan 18.

  When the blower fan 18 is driven by the motor 19, outside air is introduced into the blower passage 17 from an intake port (not shown) of the humidifier 101 and air is sent out from the blower passage 17 toward the water storage tray 2. It is like that. The blower fan 18 illustrated in FIG. 2A is a sirocco fan, but may be an axial fan.

  The air from the air blowing path 17 is sent to the first region 21 that is a space before the humidifying filter 16 in the water storage tray 2. And while passing through the humidifying filter 16 and passing through the humidifying filter 16 of the water storage tray 2, the second area 22, which is the space opposite to the first area 21, passes through the blowout path 20. It is sent out from the exhaust port 11 to the outside. Accordingly, the humidifying filter 16, the air passage 17, and the air blowing fan 18 constitute a humidifying unit that humidifies air using the water in the water storage tray 2. Further, the blower passage 17 and the blower fan 18 constitute a blower unit that vaporizes water contained in the humidifying filter 16.

  As described above, in the humidifier 101 having the above-described configuration, the water supply path (the first water supply path 14 and the second water supply path 15) that guides water from the water supply port 12 to the water storage tray 2 and the introduced outside air are stored in the water storage tank. An air passage (air passage 17 and air outlet 20) leading from the tray 2 to the exhaust port 11 is formed separately.

(Water supply channel)
Next, the water supply path to the water storage tray 2 will be described.

  As described above, the water supply channel is a route from the water supply port 12 shown in FIG. 2A to the second water supply channel 15 through the first water supply channel 14. The 1st water supply path 14 is formed along the outer surface of the ventilation path 17, and as shown to (b) of FIG. 1, the groove | channel 13 exposed in the state which removed the back cover 1 and the said back cover 1. As shown in FIG. And is composed of. The back surface of the back cover 1 (the surface facing the groove 13) and the surface of the groove 13 are subjected to fine unevenness (texture processing) that produces a lotus effect. This makes it difficult for dirt to adhere.

  Moreover, since the groove | channel 13 will be in the state exposed if the back cover 1 is removed, cleaning of the 1st water supply path 14 etc. will become easy.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, the second water supply path 15 is formed at the end of the water storage tray 2, and takes in water from the first opening 15a of the part communicating with the first water supply path 14, Water is discharged from a second opening 15b formed downward of the water storage tray 2. Thereby, water is supplied to the water storage tray 2 from the bottom side.

  Note that the inner surface of the second water supply channel 15 is also provided with fine irregularities (texture processing) exhibiting a lotus effect, similarly to the rear surface of the back cover 1 and the surface of the groove 13. This makes it difficult for dirt to adhere.

  In addition, the water supply surface of the water supply port 12 is also provided with fine irregularities (texture processing) that provide a lotus effect. This makes it difficult for dirt to adhere. Furthermore, it is preferable that the water supply surface of the first water supply channel 14 has a radiation reflection surface shape in which water flows toward the first water supply channel 14. As a result, no matter which part of the water supply surface of the water supply port 12 is poured, the water does not scatter and spills outside, so that the water appropriately flows toward the first water supply path 14.

  As described above, the water poured from the water supply port 12 is supplied to the water storage tray 2 via the first water supply channel 14 and the second water supply channel 15 that constitute the water supply channel. The water supplied from the water supply channel flows into the first region 21 side of the water storage tray 2 and flows into the second region 22 through the humidifying filter 16. That is, water is supplied toward the side far from the side close to the air passage 17.

  Normally, the timing of water supply to the water storage tray 2 is possible when the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2 becomes a predetermined amount or less. For example, when the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2 falls below a predetermined amount, the user is notified (sound notification, LED lighting, etc.) to encourage water supply.

In the present embodiment, a water level sensor is used to detect the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2.
(Water level sensor)
3A shows a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. 1A, and FIG. 3B shows an enlarged view of a region X shown in FIG.

  As shown in (b) of FIG. 3, the water level sensor 31 is provided in the upper part of the second region 22 of the water storage tray 2 and extends from the water surface 3 of the water storage tray 2 to the water level sensor 31 (water level sensor 31 itself). The amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2 is detected by measuring the distance. Thus, since the water level sensor 31 measures the distance from the water surface 3 of the water storage tray 2, it is preferable that the water surface 3 is as gentle as possible. Therefore, in the water storage tray 2, since water is supplied to the first region 21 side, the water surface 3 may swell and measurement errors may occur. However, the water surface 3 is separated on the second region side separated by the humidifying filter 16. Is relatively calm. For this reason, it is preferable that the water level sensor 31 is formed in the position which measures the water surface 3 by the side of the 2nd area | region 22 as shown to (b) of FIG.

(Humidification control)
In general humidification control, the humidity set by the humidity detected by the humidity sensor and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor is controlled. Usually, it is not considered that the size of the portion where the humidifying filter 16 is exposed, that is, the portion where the wind hits, changes depending on the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2. If the area of the portion where the humidifying filter 16 is exposed is large, the area to which the wind hits increases, so that a large amount of vaporized air can be generated even if the air volume is small. On the contrary, if the area of the portion where the humidifying filter 16 is exposed is small, the area where the wind hits is small. Therefore, unless the air volume is increased, a large amount of vaporized air cannot be generated.

  Therefore, when the humidity control is performed, regardless of the area of the portion where the humidifying filter 16 is exposed, if the air volume applied to the humidifying filter 16 is constant, the target is determined by the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2. The time required for humidity may be increased.

  Therefore, if the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2 can be measured by the water level sensor 31, it is possible to predict how much the humidifying filter 16 placed on the water storage tray 2 is exposed. By adjusting the humidification amount using this, the time required to achieve the target humidity can be shortened.

  FIG. 4 is a control block diagram for performing humidification control when the amount of water stored in the water storage tray 2 is taken into consideration. The controller 30 controls the number of rotations of the motor 19 that drives the blower fan 18 based on the detection values from the water level sensor 31, the temperature sensor 32, and the humidity sensor 33.

  Specifically, when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 33 is lower than the set humidity, the controller 30 controls the motor according to the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 32 and the water level detected by the water level sensor 31. The drive of 19 is controlled. The drive control of the motor 19 is to control the rotational speed of the blower fan 18 to be the rotational speed associated with the humidity, temperature, and water level.

<Modification>
FIG. 5 is a view showing a state where a lid 41 is placed on the water surface 3 of the water storage tray 2 of the humidifier 101 shown in FIG. 1.

  As shown in FIG. 5, a lid 41 having a shape matching the shape of the water surface 3 is placed on the water surface 3 of the water storage tray 2. The lid 41 may be made of any material as long as it has a lighter specific gravity than water and has water repellency. For example, foamable materials, porous materials, plastics, and the like are preferable, and materials that do not have water repellency may be subjected to water repellency treatment.

  By placing the lid 41 on the water surface 3 of the water storage tray 2, it is possible to prevent water from spilling due to shaking when the water storage tray 2 is carried. In particular, it is preferable to place the lid 41 when the humidifier 101 is carried with the water storage tray 2 stored.

The humidifier 101 according to the present embodiment is different from the humidifier 101 according to the first embodiment in that an antibacterial material 51 is installed in the first region 21 of the water storage tray 2, and the other configurations are the same.

  The antibacterial material 51 is an antibacterial agent that antibacterials the water in the water storage tray 2. The antibacterial material 51 performs antibacterial of water by diffusing antibacterial components in water. Moreover, since the 1st area | region 21 of the water storage tray 2 is a water supply side, water is supplied and water waves. Therefore, the antibacterial material 51 is preferably placed on the first region 21 side of the water storage tray 2. Thereby, an antimicrobial component can be diffused effectively. Here, the antibacterial material 51 is placed in the water storage tray 2 at a position that is affected by the drop of water at the time of water supply, that is, at an arbitrary position in the first region 21 where water is supplied and the water falls and the waves rise. It only has to be arranged.

  Examples of the antibacterial material 51 include inorganic compounds that elute metal ions such as silver, copper, and zinc, fine metal particles of silver, copper, and zinc, silver zeolite, silver-containing zirconium phosphate, iodine compounds, phenols, and quaternary Ammonium salts, imidazole compounds, benzoic acids, hydrogen peroxide, cresol, chlorhexidine, irgasan, aldehydes, enzyme preparations such as sorbic acid, lysozyme, cellulase, protease, catechins, bamboo extract, hinoki extract, Natural component extracts such as wasabi extract and mustard extract are preferred. In addition, an antifungal agent may be used as the antibacterial material 51. As the antifungal agent, an organic nitrogen compound, a sulfur compound, an organic acid ester, an organic iodine imidazole compound, a benzazole compound, or the like is preferable.

  The humidifier 102 according to the present embodiment has almost the same configuration as the humidifier 101 of the first embodiment, but instead of the second water supply path 15 of the water supply path, a third water supply path 61 and a fourth water supply path 62 are provided. It is different in use.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the humidifier 102 constitutes a water supply path for supplying water to the water storage tray 2 by the first water supply path 14, the third water supply path 61, and the fourth water supply path 62.

  Unlike the second water supply channel 15 of the first embodiment, the third water supply channel 61 is formed so as to guide water to the upper surface of the water storage tray 2 substantially in parallel. The water guided by the third water supply path 61 is sent to the fourth water supply path 62.

  The fourth water supply path 62 is formed so as to face the upper surface of the humidifying filter 16 installed in the water storage tray 2, and has a structure for dropping water toward the upper surface of the humidifying filter 16 (water in the direction of the arrow in FIG. 7).
