[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a dehumidifier that captures moisture in the air and accumulates the moisture therein.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As conventional household dehumidifiers, dehumidifiers composed of deliquescent salts are generally used because they are inexpensive, highly safe, and have excellent hygroscopicity.
When the moisture in the air comes in contact with the deliquescent salts, the dehumidifier dissolves the salts to form a deliquescent liquid. As a dehumidifier using this dehumidifying agent, as shown in FIG. 4, a partition 21 is provided at an intermediate portion in the vertical direction inside a container body 20 having an open upper side, and a communication penetrating the partition 21 in the vertical direction. A plurality of holes 22 are provided, a dehumidifying agent 23 is stored in an upper portion of the partition body 21, and an opening at the upper end of the container body 20 is covered with a moisture-permeable non-permeable sheet 24.
Moisture in the air is captured by the dehumidifying agent 23 stored in the upper part of the inside, and the dehydrated liquid 25 is used as the deliquescent liquid 25 through the communication hole 22.
There is known one that is stored in the lower part of the inside.
However, in the conventional dehumidifier, the dehumidifier 23 stored on the partition body 21 comes into contact with the moisture in the air from the dehumidifier 23 on the upper surface side to become the deliquescent liquid 25 and flows downward. Then, the deliquescence 25 is dropped into the lower part of the container body 20 through the communication hole 22 of the partitioning body 21. 25 comes into contact with the dehumidifier 23 and condenses again, so that the deliquescent liquid 25 does not flow to the lower part through the dehumidifier 23, and the deliquescent liquid 25 accumulates inside or above the dehumidifier 23, and There was a problem that the moisture absorption effect was reduced. In order to solve this problem, a conical cylindrical body provided with a slit-shaped communication hole radially from the top is provided on the partition body as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-28483. It is known that the deliquescent liquid is dropped into the lower part of the container body from the communication hole of the cylindrical body to reduce the accumulation of the deliquescent liquid in the dehumidifier.

[0003]

With the conventional dehumidifier, the deliquescent liquid is dripped into the lower part of the container body from the communication hole of the cylindrical portion provided on the partition, and the deliquescent liquid is placed on the partition. Although the accumulation in the dehumidifying agent is reduced, the deliquescent liquid flows not only downward but also laterally in the dehumidifying agent, and reaches the communication hole of the cylindrical portion. It takes a long time, and as described above, the passage of the deliquescent liquid is blocked, so that the flow of the deliquescent liquid is also deteriorated, and there is a fear that a problem that the moisture absorbing effect of the dehumidifying agent is reduced may occur. The purpose of the present invention is to solve this problem.
