[0001]

The present invention relates to humidifiers,
The present invention relates to a humidifier that evaporates water flowing down to an evaporating zone member by blowing air.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a humidifier of the type in which water permeates into an evaporating zone member and an air current is brought into contact with the surface thereof to evaporate water, the humidifier sucks water from a water storage tank by capillary action and permeates the evaporating zone member. was there.

[0003] This type of humidifier has a problem that the water permeating the evaporating zone member is completely evaporated, so that salts and the like contained in the water solidify and if used for a long time, the water supply capability of the evaporating zone member is deteriorated. . In addition, there is a problem that the water stored in the water storage tank becomes moldy.

[0004] Further, a water storage tank is provided above the evaporating zone member,
As a humidifier of the type in which air flows in contact with the surface of the evaporation zone member while water flows down the evaporation zone member, a humidifier in which the evaporation zone member protrudes into the water storage tank from a slit-shaped hole provided in the bottom surface of the water storage tank. Also, there is a type in which water is supplied directly to the humidifying element from nozzles dispersedly arranged in a water supply pipe. Then, more water than the amount of evaporation flows down the evaporation zone member from the water storage tank,
The water that did not evaporate flows into the lower drainage tank.

[0005] This type of humidifier improves the disadvantage that salts are solidified in the evaporative zone member because the dissolved salts contained in the water are washed away, but water tends to fall away from the evaporative zone member and these waters are likely to fall. However, there is a problem that the carryover is easily generated by being included in the airflow. In addition, since the water tank is used in the same manner as the humidifier of the type that sucks water by capillary action, there is a problem that the water staying in the water tank is moldy.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and does not use a water tank in which mold and scale are generated. In addition, salts solidify in the evaporating zone member. It is an object of the present invention to provide a humidifier that does not require a humidifier.

[0007]

The humidifier according to the present invention is a humidifier having a plurality of flat evaporating members which are vertically opposed at substantially equal intervals, and the upper part of the humidifier is provided between the flat evaporating members. Is filled with a water absorbing member, and a water supply pipe having nozzles dispersedly arranged in a space formed by cutting out the center of the upper part substantially horizontally, and the lower surface of the water absorbing member and the lower part of the humidifier are arranged. A corrugated evaporating band member is arranged so that a lateral air passage is formed in contact with three peripheral surfaces of a space surrounded by the flat evaporating member. The member and the corrugated evaporating band member are formed of fibers into which an antibacterial agent has been kneaded.

[0008]

According to the humidifier of the present invention, the water flowing out of the nozzles dispersed in the water absorption pipe is absorbed by the laminated portion of the flat evaporative band member and the water absorption band member, and the water of the water absorption band member is in close contact. From the surface, penetrates into the plate-shaped evaporative band member, and further penetrates into the airflow contact portion below the plate-shaped evaporative band member. In addition, water penetrates into the corrugated evaporative band member at the lower part of the plate-shaped evaporative band member. Then, water evaporates from the flat plate-shaped evaporation zone member and the corrugated evaporation zone member, and water vapor is added to the airflow.

By supplying more water than the amount of evaporation, the salts are washed out of the evaporating zone member and the solidification of the salts is prevented. And even if the water of about 3 times the amount of humidification is supplied, since there is a corrugated evaporating zone member, water drops do not fall and carryover does not occur.

Furthermore, since the water absorbing member and the evaporating member are kneaded with an antibacterial agent and no water storage tank is used, no scale or mold is generated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A humidifier according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1A is a front view showing a main part of a humidifier according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1B is a side view showing a main part of the humidifier. The plate-shaped evaporating band member 1, the corrugated evaporating band member 2 and the water absorbing band member 3 shown in the figure are made of flame-retardant chemical fibers into which an antibacterial agent has been kneaded.
As an antibacterial agent, a zeolite antibacterial agent containing silver, aluminum, zinc or the like is used.

A water-absorbing band member 3 is sandwiched between the upper portions of the flat plate-shaped evaporating band member 1, and a corrugated evaporating band member 2 formed into a corrugated shape is provided between the lower portions of the flat-shaped evaporating band member 1. Is arranged. Further, the upper frame 5, the middle frame 6 and the lower frame 7 are fastened to the vertical frame 8, and the flat plate-shaped evaporating band member 1, the corrugated evaporating band member 2
And the water absorbing member 3.

As shown in detail in FIG. 2, rods 9, 9,... Are inserted into holes provided in the flat plate-shaped evaporating band member 1 and the corrugated evaporating band member 2, respectively. The flanges provided at both ends of the rods 9, 9,... Press the outer surface of the flat plate-shaped evaporative band member 1 to fix the laminate of the flat plate-shaped evaporative band member 1 and the corrugated evaporative band member 2. . Small-diameter nozzles 4a are dispersedly provided on the upper surface of a pipe 4 arranged so as to pass through a space 10 provided in the flat-plate evaporating band member 1 and the water absorbing band member 3.

As shown in detail in FIG. 3, the corrugated evaporating band member 2 is formed by molding a chemical fiber of the same material as that of the flat evaporating band member 1, and its convex portion is in contact with the flat evaporating band member 1. .

In the above construction, an air flow is sent by a fan so as to pass between the corrugated evaporating band member 2 and the flat plate evaporating band member 1, and water is intermittently or continuously supplied from the nozzle 4a of the pipe 4. Water is supplied to The supplied water is absorbed by the plate-shaped evaporation band member 1 and the water absorption band member 3 and transmitted to the lower portion of the plate-shaped evaporation band member 1 and the corrugated evaporation band member 2 to evaporate from the surface thereof and add steam to the airflow. Water that is supplied in an amount larger than the evaporation amount and is not evaporated is discharged from between the lower frames 7.

As in the embodiment, when the water is blown into the space surrounded by the flat evaporating band member 1 and the water absorbing band member 3, the water does not scatter outside. In addition, since small-diameter nozzles are dispersedly provided on the upper surface of the pipe, water can be supplied uniformly over the length of the pipe. In addition, since the convex portion of the corrugated evaporating band member 2 is in contact with the flat evaporating band member 1, water drops do not fall in the space and no carryover occurs.

[0017]

As described above, according to the humidifier of the present invention, as described above, the water absorption zone and the evaporation zone of water are formed by fibers into which the antibacterial agent is kneaded, and mold is generated because there is no water stagnation. Clean humidification without odor is performed without odor. The antibacterial agent is kneaded into the fiber and exerts its effect semipermanently.

Further, since there is no drop of water droplets, no carryover occurs. Further, since the dissolved salts are washed out, a decrease in the humidification ability due to solidification of the salts is prevented. Furthermore, since no water storage tank is provided, the configuration is compact.
