JP 2014-188021 A

  However, in the conventional liquid refining device, if large droplets are continuously collected by the gas-liquid separator, the gas-liquid separator may be excessively wetted. In addition, some conventional liquid micronizers have a gas-liquid separator provided below a collision wall. In this case, water droplets adhering to the collision wall may drop to the gas-liquid separator, and the gas-liquid separator may also become excessively wet. If the gas-liquid separator becomes excessively wet, the liquid micronizer will increase the amount of water vaporized on the gas-liquid separator even though the amount of humidification is controlled by the amount of rotation of the pumping pipe. There was a problem that the controllability of performance was liable to deteriorate.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and a liquid micronizer capable of improving the controllability of humidification performance while collecting water droplets with an eliminator, a heat exchange air device using the same, and an air cleaner It aims at providing a machine or an air conditioner.

  In order to achieve this object, the liquid refinement apparatus of the present invention includes a suction port for sucking air, a blow-out port for blowing out air sucked from the suction port, and a wind between the suction port and the blow-out port. A liquid refining chamber provided in the passage for refining water, and the air sucked from the suction port contains the water refined in the liquid refining chamber and contains the water. The liquid micronization chamber is rotated by a rotary motor and is provided with a rotary shaft arranged in the vertical direction, a pumping port below and a rotary shaft above the rotary shaft. A cylindrical pumping pipe that pumps water from the pumping outlet by being rotated in accordance with the rotation of the rotary shaft, and discharges the pumped water in a centrifugal direction, and water discharged by the pumping pipe includes By colliding, the water is refined A collision wall, a water storage section that is provided vertically below the pumping pipe and stores water pumped from the pumping port, and a side that catches the falling water attached to the collision wall at the lower end of the collision wall. And a vertical guide for guiding the water received at the side to the water storage section, and an eliminator for collecting water droplets of the micronized water provided in contact with the side below the collision wall. And.

  Moreover, the heat exchange air apparatus, air cleaner, or air conditioner of this invention is equipped with the liquid refinement | miniaturization apparatus of this invention.

  According to the liquid refining device of the present invention and the heat exchange air device, the air purifier, or the air conditioner using the same, the water that adheres to the collision wall and falls is received in the horizontal direction, and in the vertical direction. Since it is guided to the water reservoir, the water can be prevented from falling to the eliminator provided below the collision wall. Also, some of the water droplets collected by the eliminator move to the downstream side of the air path and above the eliminator by the wind pressure, but the water droplets adhere to the horizontal contact with the eliminator, and along the vertical length. Can be dropped into the water reservoir. Thereby, it can suppress that an eliminator gets wet with water excessively, and it can suppress that the vaporization amount of the water on an eliminator becomes large. Therefore, there is an effect that the controllability of the humidifying performance can be improved while collecting water droplets by the eliminator.

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that each of the embodiments described below shows a preferred specific example of the present invention. Therefore, the numerical values, shapes, materials, components, component arrangement positions, connection forms, and the like shown in the following embodiments are merely examples, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Therefore, among the constituent elements in the following embodiments, constituent elements that are not described in the independent claims showing the highest concept of the present invention are described as optional constituent elements. Moreover, in each figure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the substantially same structure, The overlapping description is abbreviate | omitted or simplified.

  First, with reference to FIG. 1, a schematic configuration of a liquid micronizer 50 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the liquid micronizer 50 in the vertical direction.

  The liquid refinement device 50 includes a main body case 1 having a suction port 2 for sucking air and a blower port 3 for blowing out air sucked from the suction port 2. Air passages 15 to 17 are formed with the outlet 3. Further, the main body case 1 is provided with a liquid micronization chamber 5 provided in the air passages 15 to 17, and the suction port 2, the liquid micronization chamber 5, and the air outlet 3 communicate with each other.

  The liquid micronization chamber 5 is a main part of the liquid micronizer 50 and is where water is miniaturized. In the liquid refinement device 50, the air taken in through the suction port 2 is sent to the liquid refinement chamber 5 via the air passage 15. Then, the liquid micronizer 50 includes the water that has been refined in the liquid micronization chamber 5 in the air passing through the air passage 16, and blows the air containing the water via the air passage 17. It is configured to blow out from the outlet 3.

  The liquid micronizing chamber 5 includes a collision wall 12 on the inner wall of the inner cylinder 6 that is open at the top and bottom. The inner cylinder 6 is provided by being fixed to the main body case 1, and an air passage 17 is formed in a space sandwiched between the main body case 1 and the inner cylinder 6.

  The liquid refinement chamber 5 is provided with a cylindrical pumping pipe 11 that pumps (pumps) water while rotating inside the collision wall 12. The pumping pipe 11 has an inverted conical hollow structure, and includes a pumping port on the lower side, and a rotating shaft 10 arranged in the vertical direction is fixed to the center of the top surface of the inverted conical shape on the upper side. Yes. By connecting the rotary shaft 10 to the rotary motor 9 provided on the outer surface of the liquid micronization chamber 5, the rotary motion of the rotary motor 9 is transmitted to the pumping pipe 11 through the rotary shaft 10, and the pumped pipe 11 rotates.

  The pumping pipe 11 includes a plurality of rotating plates 14 formed so as to protrude outward from the outer surface of the pumping pipe 11. The plurality of rotating plates 14 are formed so as to protrude outward from the outer surface of the water pumping pipe 11 with a predetermined interval in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 10. Since the rotating plate 14 rotates together with the pumping pipe 11, a horizontal disk shape coaxial with the rotating shaft 10 is preferable. The number of the rotating plates 14 is appropriately set according to the target performance and the dimensions of the pumping pipe 11.

  Further, the wall surface of the pumping pipe 11 is provided with an opening 13 penetrating the wall surface of the pumping pipe 11. The opening 13 of the pumping pipe 11 is provided at a position communicating with a rotating plate 14 formed so as to protrude outward from the outer surface of the pumping pipe 11. The size of the opening 13 in the circumferential direction needs to be designed according to the outer diameter of the portion of the pumping pipe 11 provided with the opening 13, and corresponds to, for example, 5% to 50% of the outer diameter of the pumping pipe 11. A diameter, more preferably, a diameter corresponding to 5% to 20% of the pumped-up pipe 11 is mentioned. Within the above range, the dimensions of the openings 13 may be the same.

  In the lower part of the liquid refinement chamber 5, a water storage unit 4 that stores water pumped by the pumping pipe 11 is provided below the pumping pipe 11 in the vertical direction. The water storage unit 4 has a depth so that a part of the lower part of the pumping pipe 11, for example, about one third to one hundredth of the conical height of the pumping pipe 11 is immersed. This depth can be designed according to the required pumping capacity.

  The water supply unit 7 supplies water to the water storage unit 4. A water supply pipe (not shown) is connected to the water supply unit 7, and water is supplied directly from the water supply pipe through a water pressure adjusting valve, for example. Note that the water supply unit 7 may be configured to pump water only from the water tank provided outside the liquid micronization chamber 5 in advance by the siphon principle and supply water to the water storage unit 4. The water supply unit 7 is provided above the bottom surface of the water storage unit 4 in the vertical direction. In addition, it is preferable that the water supply part 7 is provided not only in the bottom face of the water storage part 4, but in the vertical direction rather than the upper surface (surface of the maximum water level which can be stored in the water storage part 4) of the water storage part 4.

  The liquid refinement chamber 5 is provided with a water level detection unit 8 that detects the water level of the water storage unit 4. The water level detection unit 8 has a float switch 20. The float switch 20 is turned off when the water reservoir 4 has not reached a certain water level, and is turned on when the water reservoir 4 has reached a certain water level. This constant water level is set to such a level that the lower part of the pumping pipe 11 is immersed in the water stored in the water storage section 4. When the float switch 20 is off, water is supplied from the water supply unit 7 to the water storage unit 4, and when the float switch 20 is on, the supply of water from the water supply unit 7 to the water storage unit 4 is stopped. The water in the water reservoir 4 can be kept at a constant water level. The water level detection unit 8 is provided above the bottom surface of the water storage unit 4 in the vertical direction.

  A drain pipe 18 is connected to the bottom surface of the water reservoir 4. The drain port of the water storage unit 4 provided at a position to which the drain pipe 18 is connected is provided at the lowest position of the water storage unit 4. When the operation of water miniaturization is stopped, the water stored in the water storage section 4 is drained from the drain pipe 18 by opening a valve (not shown) provided in the drain pipe 18.

  The liquid miniaturization chamber 5 includes an eliminator 19 in an opening 24 (see FIG. 3) below the collision wall 12 and connected from the liquid miniaturization chamber 5 to the air path 17. The eliminator 19 passes through air containing water refined in the liquid refinement chamber 5 and collects water droplets in the water contained in the air.

  Here, the operation principle of water miniaturization in the liquid micronizer 50 will be described. When the rotating shaft 10 is rotated by the rotary motor 9 and the pumped water pipe 11 is rotated in accordance with the rotation, the water stored in the water storage unit 4 is pumped from the water pumping port of the water pumped pipe 11 by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation. The rotation speed of the pumping pipe 11 is set between 1000-5000 rpm. Since the pumping pipe 11 has an inverted conical hollow structure, the water pumped up by the rotation is pumped up along the inner wall of the pumping pipe 11. The pumped water is discharged from the opening 13 of the pumping pipe 11 through the rotating plate 14 in the centrifugal direction and scattered as water droplets.

  The water droplets scattered from the rotating plate 14 fly in the space surrounded by the collision wall 12 and collide with the collision wall 12 to be refined. On the other hand, the air passing through the liquid micronization chamber 5 moves from the upper opening of the inner cylinder 6 into the inner cylinder 6 and passes through the eliminator 19 while containing water crushed (miniaturized) by the collision wall 12. It moves from the opening 24 (see FIG. 3) to the outside of the inner cylinder 6 (the air passage 17). Thereby, the air sucked from the suction port 2 of the liquid micronizer 50 can be humidified, and the humidified air can be blown out from the air outlet 3.

  Further, the amount of water pumped up by the pumping pipe 11 is changed according to the rotation amount of the pumping pipe 11, and the amount of water droplets scattered from the rotating plate 14 of the pumping pipe 11 is changed, so that it is refined by the collision wall 12. The amount of water can be changed. Therefore, the amount of water included in the air sucked from the suction port 2 of the liquid micronizer 50 can be changed by the rotation amount of the pumping pipe 11. That is, the liquid micronizer 50 can control the amount of humidification according to the amount of rotation of the water pump 11.

  Further, since the eliminator 19 collects water droplets of the water refined in the liquid refinement chamber 5 and included in the air, the liquid refiner 50 is vaporized into the air blown out from the outlet 3. Only water can be included. Thereby, the liquid refinement | miniaturization apparatus 50 can suppress that a water droplet adheres to the blower outlet 3. FIG.

  Since the kinetic energy of the water scattered from the rotating plate 14 is attenuated by friction with the air inside the collision wall 12, the rotating plate 14 is preferably as close to the collision wall 12 as possible. On the other hand, the closer the collision wall 12 and the rotating plate 14 are, the smaller the amount of air passing through the inside of the collision wall 12 is. Therefore, the lower limit of the distance is arbitrarily determined by the pressure loss and the amount of air passing through the inside of the collision wall 12.

  The liquid to be refined may be other than water, for example, a liquid such as hypochlorous acid water having bactericidal / deodorizing properties. The refined hypochlorous acid water is included in the air sucked from the suction port 2 of the liquid refinement device 50, and the air is blown out from the blowout port 3, so that the space in which the liquid refinement device 50 is placed is placed. Sterilization / deodorization can be performed.

  Next, the detailed configuration of the inner cylinder 6 and the eliminator 19 constituting the liquid micronization chamber 5 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2A is a perspective view of the inner cylinder 6 and the eliminator 19, and FIG. 2B is a top view of the inner cylinder 6 and the eliminator 19 as viewed from above. 3 is a perspective sectional view of the inner cylinder 6 cut along the plane III shown in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 4 shows the inner cylinder 6 and the eliminator 19 as viewed in the IV direction shown in FIG. It is a schematic sectional drawing. 3 shows a perspective cross-sectional view of the inner cylinder 6 with the eliminator 19 removed, but the location of the eliminator 19 is shown by a thin line for reference.

  The inner cylinder 6 is provided with a horizontal gutter 21 for receiving water that adheres to the collision wall 12 and falls at the lower end of the collision wall 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the side wall 21 includes a bottom 21 a extending toward the inside of the inner cylinder 6 at the lower end of the collision wall 12, and a side wall 21 b extending upward from the bottom at a position facing the collision wall 12. And is formed over the entire circumference of the collision wall 12.

  In addition, the inner cylinder 6 includes a plurality of vertical frames 22 extending from the horizontal plate 21 toward the water storage unit 4 to the lower side of the collision wall 12 at a predetermined interval at the lower end of the collision wall 12. The vertical gutter 22 guides the water received by the horizontal gutter 21 to the water storage section 4. In the present embodiment, eight vertical frames 22 are provided, but the number may be any number.

  As shown in FIG. 3, an opening 24 is formed between adjacent vertical frames 22. Air containing water refined inside the inner cylinder 6 flows from the liquid refinement chamber 5 to the air passage 17 through the opening 24. That is, in the opening 24, the inner side of the inner cylinder 6 (the liquid micronization chamber 5 side) is the upstream side of the air passages 15 to 17, and the outer side of the inner cylinder 6 (the air passage 17 side) is Downstream side.

  The horizontal beam 21 is inclined so that the received water flows toward the vertical beam 22. Specifically, the horizontal frame 21 is inclined so that the position of the horizontal beam 21 in the middle of the two adjacent vertical beams 22 is the highest and the position of the horizontal beam 21 connected to the vertical beam 22 is the lowest. ing. As a result, the water received by the horizontal beam 13 is reliably guided to the vertical beam 22. Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the vertical gutter 22 has a bottom 22 a on the downstream side with respect to the air passages 15 to 17, and side walls 22 b on both sides in the direction of guiding water from the horizontal gutter 21 to the water storage section 4. Thus, the U-shape is opened toward the upstream side with respect to the air passages 15 to 17. Thereby, the water flowing through the vertical frame 22 is pressed by the wind pressure so as to flow through the bottom 22a of the vertical frame 22, and the side wall 22b can prevent the water from spilling from the vertical frame 22.

  The inner cylinder 6 includes a plurality of eliminator locking claws 23 extending from the side wall 21 b of the lateral wall 21 toward the center of the inner cylinder 6 at the lower end of the collision wall 12. In the present embodiment, four eliminator locking claws 23 are provided, but the number thereof may be any number. The eliminator locking claw 23 locks the eliminator 19 below the collision wall 12 and inside the opening 24 (upstream of the air passages 15 to 17).

  Moreover, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the eliminator 19 is arrange | positioned so that the upper end of the eliminator 19 may contact the lower end (lower side of the bottom 21a) of the horizontal 21. In addition, the eliminator 19 is disposed so that the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19 is in contact with the vertical frame 22 with respect to the air passages 15 to 17.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 3, 5, and 6, the operation and effect of the liquid micronizing device 50 produced by the inner cylinder 6 and the eliminator 19 configured as described above will be described. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram schematically showing the movement of the water droplet 30 collected by the eliminator 19 due to the wind pressure. FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram schematically showing how the water droplets 30 that have moved through the eliminator 19 flow along the horizontal 21 and the vertical 22.

  When the collision wall 12 crushes the water flying from the rotary plate 14 of the pumping pipe 11, a part of the water (water droplet 30) adheres to the collision wall 12. As shown in FIG. 3, the water droplet 30 attached to the collision wall 12 falls below the collision wall 12 due to the weight of the water droplet 30. The dropped water droplets 30 are received by the horizontal beam 21 and moved to the vertical beam 22 by the inclination of the horizontal beam 21. Then, the water droplet 30 is guided to the water storage section 4 by the vertical frame 22. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the water droplets 30 that adhere to the collision wall 12 and fall to the eliminator 19 provided below the collision wall 12. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the eliminator 19 from being wetted excessively by the water droplet 30 falling from the collision wall 12.

  Also, some of the water droplets 31 of the water droplets collected by the eliminator 19 are in the air paths 15 to 17 by the wind pressure of the wind flowing from the liquid micronization chamber 5 toward the air path 17 as shown in FIG. It moves downstream and above the eliminator 19. Since the liquid refiner 50 is provided so that the eliminator 19 is in contact with the side, the water droplet 31 is attached to the side 21 by the surface tension of the side 21 as shown in FIG. Then, the water droplet 31 moves from the horizontal frame 21 to the vertical frame 22 and falls along the vertical frame 22 to the water storage unit 4. Thereby, it can suppress that the water droplet 31 collected by the eliminator 19 splashes from the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19 by wind pressure. Moreover, since the water droplet 31 collected by the eliminator 19 can be efficiently dropped to the water storage section 4, it is possible to prevent the water droplet 31 collected by the eliminator 19 from being excessively wetted.

  Also, another water droplet 32 of the water droplets collected by the eliminator 19 is also downstream of the air channels 15 to 17 due to the wind pressure of the wind flowing from the liquid micronization chamber 5 toward the air channel 17 as shown in FIG. Move to the side. The liquid micronizer 50 is provided such that the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19 is in contact with the vertical direction, and a part of the water droplet 32 is upstream of the air channels 15 to 17 in the vertical length 22. It enters into the vertical frame 22 from the opening directed to the side, and is guided to the water storage section 4. Further, the remaining part of the water droplet 32 is attached to the outer portion of the side wall 22 b of the vertical frame 22 by surface tension and guided to the water storage unit 4. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the water droplet 32 collected by the eliminator 19 from being scattered from the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19 due to the wind pressure. In addition, since the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 can be efficiently dropped onto the water storage unit 4, it is possible to suppress excessive water wetting with the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19.

  Since the eliminator 19 is provided below the collision wall 12 and in contact with the lateral wall 21, the air flowing from the liquid refinement chamber 5 through the opening 24 to the air passage 17 is surely supplied to the eliminator 19. Can be passed. Therefore, water droplets can be reliably removed from the air blown from the blower outlet 3.

  As described above, the liquid micronization apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment can suppress the eliminator 19 from being excessively wetted with water, and therefore can suppress an increase in the amount of water vaporized on the eliminator 19. Therefore, since the liquid micronizer 50 can easily obtain the target humidification performance by controlling the rotation amount of the pumping pipe 11, it can control the humidification performance while collecting water droplets by the eliminator 19. It can be improved.

  In the liquid miniaturization apparatus 50 according to the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the upper end of the eliminator 19 is in contact with the lower end of the side wall 21 (below the bottom 21 a), and the eliminator is connected to the air paths 15 to 17. The case where the eliminator 19 is disposed so that the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of 19 is in contact with the vertical frame 22 has been described. However, it is sufficient that the eliminator 19 is in contact with the lateral plate 21 below the collision wall 12, and various modifications can be considered for the arrangement position.

  For example, FIG. 7 (a) is a schematic diagram schematically showing a modification thereof. In the modification shown in FIG. 7A, although the eliminator 19 is not in contact with the vertical frame 22, the upper end of the eliminator 19 is outside the side wall 21b of the horizontal wall 21 (on the side opposite to the collision wall 12 and on the pumping pipe 11 side). The eliminator 19 is arranged so as to come into contact.

  In this modification, the vertical frame 22 prevents the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 from scattering from the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19, or the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 are Although it cannot drop to the water storage part 4 efficiently, since the upper end of the eliminator 19 is in contact with the outside of the side wall 21b of the side wall 21, the following effects can be obtained.

  That is, of the water droplets collected by the eliminator 19, the water droplet 31 moved to the downstream side of the air passages 15 to 17 and above the eliminator 19 by the wind pressure is the side wall 21 b of the lateral wall 21 by the surface tension of the lateral wall 21. To be attached to. Then, the water droplet 31 moves from the side wall 21b of the horizontal gutter 21 to the bottom 21a, further moves to the vertical gutter 22, and falls along the vertical gutter 22 to the water storage section 4.

  Thereby, it can suppress that the water droplet 31 collected by the eliminator 19 splashes from the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19 by wind pressure. Moreover, since the water droplet 31 collected by the eliminator 19 can be efficiently dropped to the water storage section 4, it is possible to prevent the water droplet 30 collected by the eliminator 19 from being excessively wetted.

  FIG. 7B is a schematic diagram schematically showing another modification. In the modification shown in FIG. 7B, the eliminator 19 is not in contact with the vertical frame 22, but the eliminator 19 is in contact with the lower end of the horizontal frame 21 (below the bottom 21a). Is disposed. Also in this modified example, the vertical frame 22 prevents the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 from scattering from the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19 or the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 Although it cannot be efficiently dropped to the water storage section 4, the effect obtained by the upper end of the eliminator 19 coming into contact with the lower end of the side plate 21 can be obtained as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4.

  FIG. 8A is a schematic diagram schematically showing still another modified example, and FIG. 8B is an eliminator 19 and a vertical frame 22 when viewed in the VIIIb direction shown in FIG. FIG. In the modification shown in FIG. 8A, the lower side of the bottom 21a of the side wall 21 and the outer side of the side wall 22b (the side opposite to the collision wall 12 and the pumping pipe 11 side) are buried by the upper end of the eliminator 19, The eliminator 19 is disposed so that the side wall 22b of the rim is buried on the downstream side of the eliminator 19 in the air passages 15 to 17. In this modification, as in the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the effect obtained by the upper end of the eliminator 19 contacting the lower end of the horizontal frame 21 and the effect obtained by the eliminator 19 contacting the vertical frame 22 are obtained. The effect which can be produced can be produced. In addition, in this modified example, the contact area between the eliminator 19 and the horizontal frame 21 and the vertical frame 22 is increased. As a result, more water droplets 31 and 32 collected by the eliminator 19 can be attached to the horizontal beam 21 and the vertical beam 22 by surface tension, and can be guided to the water storage unit 4. Therefore, compared to the embodiment shown in FIG. 4, the water droplets 31 and 32 collected by the eliminator 19 can be dropped to the water storage unit 4 more efficiently, and the water droplets 31 collected by the eliminator 19, It is possible to further suppress excessive water wetting at 32.

  FIG. 9A is a schematic diagram schematically showing still another modified example. In the modification shown in FIG. 9A, the lower side of the bottom 21 a of the side wall 21 and the outer side of the side wall 21 b (opposite side of the collision wall 12, the pumping pipe 11 side) are buried by the upper end of the eliminator 19. The eliminator 19 is disposed so that the bottom 22 a and the side wall 22 b of the embroidery are buried in the eliminator 19. That is, in the modification shown in FIG. 9A, the vertical beam 22 is completely buried in the eliminator 19. Also by this, the same effect as FIG. 8A can be obtained. Further, since the contact area between the eliminator 19 and the vertical frame 22 is larger than that of the modification shown in FIG. 8A, more water droplets 31 and 32 collected by the eliminator 19 are more or less horizontal 21 or vertical. It can be attached to the pad 22 and can be guided to the water reservoir 4.

In addition, it is preferable that the eliminator 19 is disposed so that the vertical beam 22 is buried downstream of the eliminator 19 in the air passages 15 to 17. Thereby, since more water droplets 31 and 32 collected by the eliminator 19 can reach the vertical column 22 by wind pressure, the water droplets 31 and 32 can be dropped to the water storage unit 4 more efficiently.

  FIG. 9B is a schematic diagram schematically showing still another modification. In the modification shown in FIG. 9B, the eliminator 19 is not in contact with the vertical frame 22, but the lower side of the bottom 21a of the horizontal frame 21 and the outside of the side wall 22b (opposite side to the collision wall 12; The eliminator 19 is disposed so that the side is buried by the upper end of the eliminator 19. In this modification, the vertical frame 22 prevents the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 from scattering from the downstream side surface (outer peripheral surface) of the eliminator 19, or the water droplets 32 collected by the eliminator 19 are Although it cannot be efficiently dropped to the water storage section 4, the operational effect of the lower side of the bottom 21 a of the side wall 21 and the outside of the side wall 22 b being buried by the upper end of the eliminator 19 is shown in FIG. It can play like the modification shown.
