(For example, Patent Document 1). However, in such a nano mist generator, there is a concern that water may overflow from the drain pan when the water leak exceeds the amount of water that the drain pan can hold.

On the other hand, the drain pan as described above is provided with a drain outlet (and a drain pipe connected to this), and the normal drainage from the water tank (water storage part) during the humidifying operation is included in the drain pan. After that, a humidifying unit is known in which the drain water is drained to the outside of the apparatus (for example, Patent Document 2).

Further, inside the water receiving portion 11, an inclined surface 11b having a downward slope toward the second drainage port 31 (drain pipe connecting portion 33) provided on the side wall 11a of the water receiving portion 11 is formed.

Next, the operation of the liquid atomizer will be described with reference to FIG.

First, water is supplied from the first water supply port 12 to the water storage unit 10 from a water supply facility (not shown), and the water is stored in the water storage unit 10. The air sucked from the suction port 2 into the liquid atomization device 1 passes through the suction communication air passage 5, the inner cylinder air passage 6, the liquid atomization means 17, and the outer cylinder air passage 9 in this order, and the air outlet. It is blown out from 3 to the outside (for example, indoors). At this time, the water droplets generated by the liquid atomizing means 17 come into contact with the air passing through the inner cylinder air passage 6, and the water droplets are vaporized, so that the air can be humidified. The water stored in the water storage unit 10 is discharged from the first drain port 13 to the outside of the device through an internal drain pipe 30 described later after a predetermined time has elapsed.

The detailed operation will be described.

The air that has passed through the suction communication air passage 5 from the suction port 2 and is taken into the inner cylinder of the inner cylinder air passage 6 passes through the liquid atomization means 17. When the pumping pipe 14 and the rotary plate 15 are rotated by the operation of the motor 16, the water stored in the water storage unit 10 by the rotation rises along the inner wall surface of the pumping pipe 14. The water that has risen is stretched along the surface of the rotary plate 15 and discharged as fine water droplets from the outer peripheral edge of the rotary plate 15 in the direction of the rotation surface. The discharged water droplets collide with the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder 4 and are crushed into finer water droplets. The water droplets discharged from the rotating plate 15 and the water droplets that are crushed by colliding with the inner wall surface of the inner cylinder 4 come into contact with the air passing through the inner cylinder 4, and the water droplets are vaporized to humidify the air. Although some of the generated water droplets are not vaporized, since the liquid atomizing means 17 is arranged so as to be covered with the inner cylinder 4, the water droplets that are not vaporized adhere to the inner surface of the inner cylinder 4 to store water. It falls on the part 10.

Then, the air containing the water droplets (humidified air) is blown out from the ventilation port 7 provided at the lower end of the inner cylinder 4 toward the water storage section 10 provided below. Then, it flows toward the outer cylinder air passage 9 formed between the inner cylinder 4 and the outer cylinder 8. Here, since the air passing through the outer cylinder air passage 9 is blown upward in the vertical direction, the air flow direction changes to the direction in which the air flowing downward in the inner cylinder air passage 6 faces.

At this time, the water droplets blown out from the ventilation port 7 together with the air cannot follow the flow of the air due to its inertia and adhere to the water surface 40 of the water storage section 10 or the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 8. This action is larger as the weight of the water droplet is larger, that is, the larger the diameter of the water droplet which is less likely to be vaporized is, the larger the action is. Therefore, the large water droplet can be separated from the flowing air.

Then, the air that has flowed into the outer cylinder air passage 9 from the inner cylinder air passage 6 through the ventilation port 7 flows upward through the outer cylinder air passage 9. Then, it is blown out from the outlet 3. At this time, a part of the water droplets falls to the water storage section 10 due to gravity or adheres to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 4 or the inner wall of the outer cylinder 8. Then, the water droplets attached to the outer wall of the inner cylinder 4 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 8 travel along the outer wall surface of the inner cylinder 4 and the inner wall surface of the outer cylinder 8 and fall into the water storage section 10.

As described above, the liquid atomizing apparatus 1 of the present invention can humidify air by the liquid atomizing means 17.

Next, the water supply structure of the liquid atomizer 1 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 3, the water supply structure of the liquid atomization apparatus 1 includes a first water supply port 12, an internal water supply pipe 20, a second water supply port 21, and a water supply pipe connecting portion 22.

The first water supply port 12 is an opening that penetrates the side wall 8 a of the outer cylinder 8. One end of the internal water supply pipe 20 is connected to the first water supply port 12 outside the side wall 8a.

The second water supply port 21 is an opening that penetrates the side wall 11 a of the water receiver 11. The other end of the internal water supply pipe 20 is connected to the second water supply port 21 inside the side wall 11a. A water supply pipe connecting portion 22 is connected to the second water supply port 21 outside the side wall 11a. That is, the internal water supply pipe 20 and the water supply pipe connecting portion 22 are connected to each other through the second water supply port 21.

The internal water supply pipe 20 has one end connected to the first water supply port 12 and the other end connected to the second water supply port 21. That is, the internal water supply pipe 20 is an internal pipe that connects the first water supply port 12 of the outer cylinder 8 and the second water supply port 21 of the water receiving portion 11.

The water supply pipe connection part 22 is installed outside the side wall 11 a corresponding to the second water supply port 21. Then, the water supply pipe connecting portion 22 is connected to a water supply facility such as water supply or a water supply pump of a house or facility by an external water supply pipe.

As shown in FIG. 3, the drainage structure of the liquid atomization apparatus 1 is composed of a first drainage port 13, an internal drainage pipe 30, a second drainage port 31, and a drainage pipe connection portion 33.

The first drainage port 13 is an opening provided on the bottom surface of the water storage unit 10. One end (first opening end 30a) of the internal drainage pipe 30 communicates with and is connected to the first drainage port 13.

The 2nd drainage port 31 is an opening which penetrates the side wall 11a of the water receiving part 11. The second drainage port 31 is provided at a position vertically below the second water supply port 21. The second drainage port 31 is provided at a position lower than the position of the first drainage port 13. In addition, the second drain port 31 is provided on the side wall 11a at a position where water flows from the inclined surface 11b of the water receiving portion 11. And the drainage pipe connection part 33 is connected to the 2nd drainage port 31 on the outer side of the side wall 11a. Further, the other end (second opening end 30b) of the internal drainage pipe 30 is inserted into the second drainage port 31. That is, the second drainage port 31 has a region where the internal drainage pipe 30 is inserted and an opening region other than the region.

As shown in FIG. 3, the internal drainage pipe 30 includes a first opening end portion 30 a that is connected to the first drainage port 13 and is connected thereto, and a second opening end portion 30 b that is inserted into the second drainage port 31. Configured to have. The first opening end portion 30 a is an opening for introducing the drainage from the water storage unit 10 into the internal drainage pipe 30. The second opening end portion 30b is an opening for leading the drainage introduced into the internal drainage pipe 30 to the outside of the internal drainage pipe 30. Further, the outer diameter of the internal drainage pipe 30 (particularly on the second opening end 30b side) is formed smaller than at least the opening diameter of the second drainage port 31, as shown in FIG. Then, when the internal drainage pipe 30 is inserted into the second drainage port 31, the internal drainage pipe 30 is arranged so as to be biased toward the upper end side of the second drainage port 31. Further, the second opening end portion 30b of the internal drainage pipe 30 is inserted into the drainage pipe connection portion 33 through the second drainage port 31.

The drain pipe connection part 33 is installed outside the side wall 11 a corresponding to the second drain port 31. Then, the drainage pipe connection part 33 is connected to a drainage facility such as a drainage port provided in a house or facility by an external drainage pipe. Further, as shown in FIG. 4, inside the drain pipe connection portion 33, a drain pipe connection port 33a having an inner diameter equivalent to that of the second drain port 31, a drain pipe connection port 33a, and the second drain port 31 are communicated. The drainage pipe 33b is formed. The second opening end portion 30b of the internal drainage pipe 30 inserted into the second drainage port 31 is located inside the drainage pipe connection portion 33. Specifically, the second opening end portion 30b of the internal drainage pipe 30 has a drainage pipe connection port 33a between the second drainage port 31 of the water receiver 11 and the drainage pipe connection port 33a of the drainage pipe connection unit 33. Located on the side.

With the above drainage structure, when the operation of refining the water is stopped, the thermal valve (not shown) provided in the internal drainage pipe 30 is opened so that the water from the water reservoir 10 The water flows through the drainage port 13, the internal drainage pipe 30, and the drainage pipe connection portion 33 (the drainage pipe line 33b, the drainage pipe connection port 33a) and is automatically drained to the outside of the liquid atomization apparatus 1. That is, the water in the water storage unit 10 is drained to the outside of the apparatus from the internal drainage pipe 30 inserted through the second drainage port 31 without flowing into the water receiving unit 11, as shown by the arrow 41 in FIG. 4.

On the other hand, at the time of abnormality, the water flowing into the water receiving portion 11 is drained out of the apparatus from a region other than the internal drainage pipe 30 of the second drainage port 31 as shown by an arrow 42 in FIG.

As described above, according to the liquid atomizing apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, the following effects can be enjoyed.

(1) During the operation of the liquid atomization apparatus 1, the water from the water storage section 10 does not flow into the water receiving section 11 from the second opening end 30b of the internal drainage pipe 30 inserted into the second drainage port 31. Drained out of the equipment. On the other hand, when an abnormality occurs in the device and water leakage occurs, the water flowing into the water receiving portion 11 is drained to the outside of the device from a region other than the internal drain pipe 30 of the second drain port 31. Therefore, in the liquid atomizing apparatus 1 of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the exposure of the water from the water storage section 10 to the air in the water receiving section 11. In addition, even when water leaks more than the amount of water that can be held by the water receiving portion 11 at the time of abnormality, the water flowing into the water receiving portion 11 can be continuously drained. That is, even when the device is continuously used for a long period of time, the liquid atomization device 1 can be provided with a drainage mechanism capable of preventing water overflow from the water receiving portion 11.

(2) The second opening end portion 30b of the internal drainage pipe 30 is located between the second drainage port 31 of the water receiving portion 11 and the drainage pipe connection port 33a of the drainage pipe connection portion 33. As a result, it is possible to prevent the water from the water storage portion 10 drained from the second opening end portion 30b from flowing back into the water receiving portion 11 via the second drainage port 31. Therefore, it is possible to further suppress the exposure of the water from the water storage section 10 to the air in the water receiving section 11.

(3) Since the water receiving part 11 is provided with the inclined surface 11b having a downward slope toward the second drainage port 31, the water flowing into the water receiving part 11 at the time of abnormality can be reliably held in the internal drainage pipe of the second drainage port 31. Drainage from areas other than 30 is possible. Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent the water from the water storage unit 10 from being exposed to the air in the water receiving unit 11.

(4) The second opening end portion 30b of the internal drainage pipe 30 is inserted into the second drainage port 31. Thus, when an abnormality occurs in the external drain pipe for draining the water from the water storage section 10 and the apparatus and water leakage occurs, the external drainage for draining the water flowing into the water receiving section 11 is generated. As compared with the case where the pipe is provided separately, it is possible to realize cost reduction or space saving because the connection portion with the external drain pipe is reduced.

Next, a heat exchange device including the liquid atomizing device according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view of a heat exchange gas device 60 including the liquid atomization device according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 5, the heat exchange air device 60 includes a liquid atomization device 50, an indoor suction port 61 and an air supply port 64 provided inside the building, and an exhaust port 62 provided outside the building. It is provided with an outside air suction port 63 and a heat exchange element 65 provided in the main body. The liquid atomization device 50 corresponds to the liquid atomization device 1 according to the first embodiment.

The indoor suction port 61 sucks indoor air, and the sucked air is exhausted to the outside through the exhaust port 62. Further, the outside air suction port 63 sucks the outside air outside, and the sucked outside air is supplied to the room through the air supply port 64. At this time, heat exchange is performed by the heat exchange element 65 between the air sent from the indoor suction port 61 to the exhaust port 62 and the external air sent from the outdoor air suction port 63 to the air supply port 64.

As one of the functions of the heat exchange air device, there is a device in which a device for vaporizing a liquid such as a water vaporizer for the purpose of humidification and a hypochlorous acid vaporizer for the purpose of sterilization/deodorization is incorporated. The heat exchange gas device 60 incorporates the liquid atomization device 50 as a device for vaporizing this liquid. Specifically, the liquid atomization device 50 is provided on the air supply port 64 side of the heat exchange air device 60 via the connection duct 66. Water is supplied to and drained from the liquid atomization device 50 through a water supply/drainage pipe 51.

The heat exchange air device 60 including the liquid atomization device 50 includes water or hypochlorous acid atomized by the liquid atomization device 50 with respect to the outside air that has undergone heat exchange by the heat exchange element 65, Supply from the air supply port 64 to the room. By using the liquid atomizing device 50 as a mechanism for vaporizing these liquids, it is possible to obtain a heat exchange gas device 60 that is smaller and has better energy efficiency.

Further, when the moisture discharged to the outside during ventilation is collected in the air supplied to the room and the moisture cannot be further collected by the heat exchange element 65 (corresponding to the humidity collecting part), the liquid is made into a finer liquid. Since it can be supplemented or added when passing through the device 50, the room can be humidified and maintained in a comfortable humidity range.

Here, the liquid atomization device 50 may be provided in an air purifier or an air conditioner instead of the heat exchange air device 60. As one of the functions of an air purifier or an air conditioner, there is one that incorporates a device for vaporizing a liquid such as a water vaporizer for humidification or a hypochlorous acid vaporizer for sterilization/deodorization. By using the liquid atomization device 50 as this device, it is possible to obtain a smaller and more energy efficient air purifier or air conditioner.
