2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as a dehumidifier, a liquid reservoir type in which a dehumidifier that changes to a liquid when absorbing moisture is stored in a container having an open upper portion and a liquid is stored inside the container after absorbing moisture has prevailed.

[0003] This liquid pool type has a large amount of moisture absorption,
It has the advantage that the amount of accumulated liquid makes it easy to see the moisture absorption status and end point.However, on the other hand, there is a risk of contamination due to liquid leakage, etc. I was

For this reason, a dehumidifying agent using a moisture absorbing material which does not become liquid when absorbing moisture has been proposed.

[0005]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional dehumidifiers using a moisture-absorbing material that does not become liquid when absorbing moisture have the advantage of being free from contamination due to liquid leakage, etc., and have the advantage that they can be used with peace of mind, but they have poor usability. There were problems such as the state of moisture absorption and the end point being difficult to understand. The purpose of the present invention is to solve these problems.

[0006]

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention, in order to solve the above problems, and Rutotomoni top wall and the bottom wall, such than breathable material

[Operation] The present invention has a large container shape during the process from the start to the end of use, while preventing contamination due to liquid leakage and the like.
By changing to the width , the moisture absorption state and the end point can be understood very clearly.

[0008]

[Example] As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors found that
Paying attention to the fact that the volume of most hygroscopic materials that do not become liquid at the time of moisture absorption increases with moisture absorption, the shape of the container is stored by storing the hygroscopic material in a container whose shape can change due to the internal pressure accompanying the volume increase of the contents. We found that the moisture absorption status and the end point became clear through the change.

[0009] This is, Rutotomoni on the wall, such than breathable material
Longitudinal and formed in a vertical cylindrical shape and a bottom wall and a cylindrical side wall, and the side wall I by the internal pressure caused by the volume increase of the contents

Stored and does not become liquid when absorbing moisture;
And a dehumidifier made of a moisture-absorbing material,
You.

As the dehumidifying agent, a non-deliquescent hygroscopic material having no deliquescence, for example, a non-deliquescent hygroscopic material using marine components as a raw material is used. Also, a hygroscopic material comprising a deliquescent salt and a substance that gels, solidifies or retains the deliquescent liquid,
For example, a hygroscopic material which does not become a liquid when absorbing moisture, such as a combination of a deliquescent salt and a water absorbing polymer or a combination of a deliquescent salt and a gelling agent such as carrageenan, is used.

[0011] The moisture absorbing material is not limited to these.

The deliquescent salts include, for example, calcium chloride, magnesium chloride and the like.

Meanwhile, as the container may be obtained by molding a resin plate or a nonwoven fabric, also may be obtained by blow molding of a soft resin, Ru der that the internal pressure shape changes. As the material of the container, the effect of the present invention can be obtained in any container as long as it is breathable, and it is effective in containers of a wide range of materials.However, when deliquescent salts are used, water separation may occur depending on conditions. It is preferable that the container is formed of a moisture-permeable waterproof membrane.

Next, a specific example of the dehumidifier will be described. Dehumidifier, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), the container 1 disc
Upper wall 6 molded into a shape, bottom wall 7 molded into a disk shape, and bellows circle
From the side wall 8 molded into a cylindrical shape, a hollow vertical cylindrical shape is formed.
To make the side wall 8 formed into a bellows cylindrical shape in a contracted state.
In addition , a dehumidifier 2 is housed inside. When starting the moisture absorption, the moisture absorption material dehumidifying agent 2 volume with moisture increases, Tsu by the internal pressure caused by the volume increase of the moisture absorbing material
The side wall 8 formed into a bellows cylindrical shape gradually expands in the vertical direction.
And will, as shown in FIG. 1 (b), at the time of moisture absorption ends, the container 1 is extended in the longitudinal direction twice or more before the moisture absorption starts
A significant change of the container 1 occurs.

[0015] Thus, with moisture absorption does not become liquid at the time of moisture absorption by the volume of the hygroscopic material increases, thereby preventing liquid leakage due dehumidifier significantly the shape of the container 1 by the internal pressure caused by the volume increase of the moisture absorption material by varying it, it is possible to clarify the moisture conditions or the end point.

[0016] The volume increase of the moisture absorbing material in the dehumidifier.
As shown in FIG. 2 (a), an experimental example of the change of the container 1 due to the internal pressure accompanying the above is shown in FIG. 2 (a). 62.4 cm ³ ) and a moldable nonwoven fabric (250 g / m ² )
In the container 1, a non-deliquescent moisture-absorbing material (25 g) made of a marine component as a raw material, a natural zeolite (11 g), and a fungicide (PCMX 0.3 g) are stored as the dehumidifier 2. Then, this is absorbed under the condition of 25 ° C. and 80% RH. Then, in 50 days, the dehumidifier 2 absorbs about 35 g and increases in volume, and as shown in FIG.
At the same time, due to the internal pressure caused by the increase in the volume of the dehumidifying agent 2, the flat portion 3 on the upper portion of the container 1 swelled and became a complete hemisphere.

The following can be considered as the container 1 of the dehumidifier. As shown in FIG.
A top wall 6 molded into a disk and a bottom wall 7 molded into a disk
