Description

The present invention relates to a cold region-compatible disinfectant liquid atomizer capable of atomizing and releasing a disinfectant liquid even in a low temperature environment in a cold region.

Conventionally, various atomizing devices have been widely used, but as shown in the present invention, no atomizing solution can be effectively atomized and released even in a low temperature environment.

In recent years, sterilization work has become necessary as a countermeasure against coronavirus, and alcohol and hypochlorite water whose concentration has been adjusted are often used. As a means of disinfecting a space having a certain area, spraying hypochlorite water is effective. The ability to disinfect the space by atomizing hypochlorite water and spraying it in the air has already spread to various fields as a representative of the ultrasonic atomization method.
However, in places and areas where the outside temperature is below the freezing point, the hypochlorite water freezes and the area around the equipment freezes, making it impossible to spray in the air. In other words, it becomes impossible to protect against various virus infections that increase the bacteriostatic power in the dry state of the winter air, but if there is a device that enables sufficient atomization and release of hypochlorite water under the above environment. The current situation is that there is no such thing.
In view of the above, the present invention has been devised and developed for the purpose of providing a new and useful device capable of exhibiting a sufficient atomization release effect even in an environment below the freezing point.

The present invention has the following configuration as a means for solving the problem. That is,
A bottomed and covered housing is provided with a heat insulating material, and a partition wall extending from the inner bottom of the housing to the upper edge is provided inside the housing to form a storage chamber and an atomization chamber, and the storage chamber bottom and the atomization chamber are provided. A heater is provided at the bottom, an atomizer that is connected to the storage chamber through water is located below the atomization chamber, and an exhaust stack is connected to the upper part of the atomizer, and the upper end of the exhaust stack is located above the housing. By positioning it, the heated disinfectant reservoir is guided to the atomizer and further heated, and then the atomized disinfectant liquid particles are exhausted from the exhaust stack to solidify the mist droplets by cold outside air. And it is configured to prevent adhesion.
The present invention is a cold region compatible disinfectant liquid atomizer having the above configuration.

The present invention has the following effects.
1. 1. Since the sterilizing liquid in the heat insulating housing is heated by a heater and atomized and released, the sterilizing liquid can be effectively released and diffused into the outside air in a cold environment to sterilize the bacteria.
2. 2. Due to the two-stage heating method of the storage chamber heater and the atomization chamber heater, the optimum heating atomization state can be obtained as effective heating.
3. 3. By making the exhaust stack flexible, it is possible to perform atomization and discharge in a desired direction.
4. The housing can be easily moved by providing casters with stoppers on the bottom of the housing.

Plan view of the present invention Front view of the present invention Right side view of the present invention Explanatory drawing of the internal mechanism of the present invention (when viewed in a plan view and the lid is removed) Explanatory drawing of the internal structure of the present invention (front view, partly omitted)

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described.
In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes an upper open box-shaped housing, which is made of FRP having a urethane-based heat insulating material incorporated therein. Reference numeral 2 is a partition wall provided from the inner bottom of the housing toward the upper edge, and is integrally formed with the housing. The inside of the housing is divided into a storage chamber 3 and an atomization chamber 4 by this partition wall.
Hypochlorite water 5 as a sterilizing liquid is stored in this storage chamber, and a commercially available centrifugal atomizer 6 (internal configuration omitted) is installed in the atomization chamber. This centrifugal atomizer has a function of sucking up water and air by centrifugal force, atomizing them with a high-speed rotating disk, and spraying them out with an internal fan. In addition, it has a flow rate adjustment function, and a certain amount of sterilizing liquid is stored in the tank at the bottom of the device.

This atomizer has higher controllability than other atomizers, and because the fog is fine, it is quickly absorbed into the air and does not wet the room due to the fall of fog.
Reference numeral 7 is an exhaust stack, the lower portion of which is inserted and held in the upper portion of the centrifugal atomizer, and the upper portion protrudes above the housing. This exhaust stack is a flexible cylinder that can be freely bent in a desired direction, and its discharge diameter is also variable. Reference numeral 8 is a waterproof storage chamber heater, which is located on the heat insulating body 9 located at the bottom of the storage chamber and generates heat when energized.
Reference numeral 10 is an energizing cord to the heater, which is connected to a connector located at the upper part of the partition wall.

Reference numeral 20 is an atomization chamber heater, which is located close to the tank below the centrifugal atomizer and generates heat by energization.
The liquid level of this sterilizing liquid is slightly above the upper surface of the heater.
A hole is formed in the lower part of the partition wall, one end of the water pipe 21 is inserted and fixed in the hole, and the other end is connected to the centrifugal atomizer through water. 22 is an outside air inlet provided on the wall surface of the atomization chamber, 23 is a storage chamber lid having a handle, 24 is an atomization chamber lid, and 25 is a top plate, each of which is in close contact with the inner surface of the upper part of the housing to maintain an airtight structure. ing. Reference numeral 26 is a control box provided on the outer surface of the housing, and 27 is a caster with a stopper provided on the bottom surface of the housing. External power is supplied to each heater and centrifugal atomizer via a control box. (Wiring not shown)

Next, the use of the present invention will be described.
First, move the device to a desired location and connect it to an external power source to enable power supply.
The adjusted hypochlorite water is stored in the storage chamber, the angle of the exhaust stack is determined, and each heater is operated by turning on the switch. After confirming that the stored liquid has reached the appropriate temperature, operate the atomizer.
The mist atomized by the atomizer is sent out from the exhaust stack in the desired direction, and the mist dissolves in the air to exert a sterilizing effect.
Although the atomization chamber is depressurized by the atomization delivery, the outside air is taken in from the outside air inlet and continuous atomization is possible. Since each lid is removable on the housing, it is possible to replenish the disinfectant solution.

The present invention has been described above, but the present invention has the feature of heating the sterilizing solution in two stages as described above, and enables effective spraying even in a cold environment.
As an example of use of the present invention, hypochlorite water was used as the sterilizing solution, but the hypochlorite water used was hypochlorous acid depending on the temperature of the organism touched. It can be reduced to water and exert its original ability, and can be sterilized and deodorized by the organic decomposition reaction of hypochlorite water.
As mentioned above, the housing is made of FRP that incorporates urethane-based heat insulating material with low thermal conductivity, so the temperature of the disinfectant solution does not easily drop due to cold environments, and it has a heat storage structure that maintains normal temperature even in the middle of winter. It is an all-weather type that can be used indoors and outdoors.

In the present invention, a centrifugal atomizer is used. Since the ultrasonic atomizer can only handle low-concentration hypochlorite water, a centrifugal atomizer capable of handling up to 500 ppm (80 ppm or less) was used. The partition wall has a structure capable of conducting heat, and the heat storage energy of hypochlorite water can be transferred to the atomization chamber.
Hypochlorite water exists up to a certain height in the tank at the bottom of the centrifugal atomizer, and the consumed hypochlorite water is automatically supplied from the storage chamber. Due to the two-stage heating mechanism according to the present invention, the storage chamber heater is used for heating first, and then the atomization chamber heater is used for heating. This atomization chamber heater is located close to the centrifugal atomizer.
If only the storage chamber heater is used, there is a concern that the temperature will drop before reaching the centrifugal atomizer through the water pipe. On the contrary, since a large amount of heating is required at one time only with the atomization chamber heater, the heater size must be increased and there is a risk of freezing in the storage chamber.
In order to prevent this, a two-stage heating method was adopted.

From the above, freezing near the upper end of the exhaust stack is prevented, and the mist due to the atomization of the disinfectant liquid adhering to the inner surface of the exhaust stack descends along the inner surface and is returned to the tank of the centrifugal atomizer. In addition, the centrifugal atomizer is linked with a timer in the control box, and intermittent operation is possible, for example, every 5 minutes. In addition, a special filter is provided at the outside air inlet to prevent the direct inflow of cold air, and it also has an air purifying function.
Examples of the use of the present invention are expected to be a ranch, a pig farm, a greenhouse for growing crops, each floor indoors, a waiting room, a large space where people come and go, such as a school. In addition to the hypochlorite water used in the present invention, another sterilizing solution may be used if necessary.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a novel and useful device capable of effective atomization and release of a sterilizing solution in a cold environment.
