Description

【0001】
【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は換気用ベントキャップに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
台風などの暴風雨の際には建物外壁に設置された換気用ベントキャップから雨が浸入し、室内に多くの被害をもたらす事故がしばしば発生する。この様な雨水の浸入事故については問題発生箇所が直接点検不可能な外壁部分であることや、台風などが通過する間の短時間に被害が生じるために、現地確認が困難なことなどの理由により、本格的な問題処理がこれまでなされていなかった。
【0003】
周知の通り、換気用として用いるベントキャップには代表的機種として次のものがある。
▲1▼平型
図16、17にその縦断面図及び正面図を示す。この平型ベントキャップ101は軒下等の雨の当たらない所に取り付けられるがフードがないため、直接雨が入り込む危険性がある。最も安価だが、最も雨・風の浸入が多い。
▲2▼セルフード型
図18、19にその縦断面図及び正面図を示す。このセルフード型ベントキャップ102は平型ベントキャップの雨浸入対策を図る観点から改良されたもので、最も普及している製品であり、軒下以外の外壁面等に雨浸入防止用として取り付けられる。このセルフード型ベントキャップ102には、下からの雨がよく浸入する。
【0004】
▲3▼深型
図20、21にその縦断面図及び正面図を示す。この深型ベントキャップ103は雨浸入対策として現在、固定化しつつあるタイプであるが、給気側に用いた場合の被害が発生しており、完全ではない。前記セルフード型ベントキャップ102の欠点を改良し、フードをさらに深くしたものであり平型ベントキャップ101・セルフード型ベントキャップ102より雨の浸入は少ないが、給気の場合しばしば被害が発生することがある。
▲4▼吹き抜け型
図22にその縦断面図、図23に図22矢視Y図を示す。この吹き抜け型ベントキャップ104には上下及び左右吹き抜けの2タイプある。既成品の中では最も高い防雨性能があるが、壁面より大きく突出するため意匠上のデメリットがある。
【0005】
以上の各種換気用ベントキャップの他に特開平4−95239には図24、25に示す換気用ベントキャップが開示されている。この図24、25に示される換気用ベントキャップは通風器取付箇所周辺の外壁が排気によっても長年汚れることが少なく、また外壁面に汚れ水の流下跡がつくことの少ない換気用ベントキャップを提供することを目的として、前端外周に外向けフランジ105を有す円筒状本体筒106の前端前方にステイ107により遮蔽板108を設け、また本体筒106の開口前端部にはルーバー片109が前傾して突出するルーバー通気孔110を有するガラリ板111を設け、かつ本体筒106の前端下半部に、半円状の枠フランジ112の外周に前方突出のカラー113を形成したガイド枠114の前記枠フランジ112を本体筒106のフランジ115へ固定して取り付け、ガイド枠114のカラー前縁114aと遮蔽板108の裏面との間に排気用ギャップ116を形成した構造のものである。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
以上の従来の各種換気用ベントキャップについては以下のような問題があった。
すなわち従来の各種換気用ベントキャップは、実際の現場で根拠のないイメージによって検討されたものであるに過ぎず、試験設備の整備された試験室等で正確な試験を行いかかる試験により得られたデータに基づいて設計されたものではない。
【0007】
したがって従来の換気用ベントキャップには上述のように様々な形状のバリエーションと設置条件があり、その選択及び施工において検討が成されたとしても、従来の換気用ベントキャップは、本体そのものが根拠のないイメージによって作られているため、施工レベルで漏水被害を防止することには限界があった。
本発明は以上の従来技術における問題に鑑みてなされたものであって、正確な試験により得られたデータに基づき、漏水被害を極力小さくすることができる換気用ベントキャップを提供することにある。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
漏水被害防止を図るには、雨が直接当たる部分に設けられるベントキャップ本体の構造を検討する必要がある。本発明者等は換気用ベントキャップについて本格的な試験に基づく性能評価を行い、それにより得られたデータに基づき本発明の換気用ベントキャップに相当した。
すなわち本発明の換気用ベントキャップは、円筒状本体筒の前端前方に支持部材により遮蔽板を設けてなる換気用ベントキャップにおいて、遮蔽板は実質的に平板状であり、本体筒の開口の周縁からその本体筒の外周側にはガイド枠が形成され、ガイド枠の外縁から前方に突出して形成される円筒状カラーは、本体筒と軸心を一致させ、かつその前縁が遮蔽板よりも内側に位置することを特徴とする。係る構成を備えることで、防雨性能と換気効率の両立を図ることができる。
また、本発明の換気用ベントキャップは、円筒状本体筒の前端前方に支持部材により遮蔽板を設けてなる換気用ベントキャップにおいて、本体筒と遮蔽板との間に円筒状カラーを本体筒と軸心を一致させて配設し、かつカラー前縁が前記遮蔽板の外縁よりも内側に位置し、カラー前縁が遮蔽板に向けて拡径して突出しその突出方向の延長線が遮蔽板と交わるように設定されることを特徴とする。そのようにすることにより、換気用ベントキャップを介する換気が円滑に行われ、且つ遮蔽板による遮蔽が効果的となり、円筒状をなす本体筒内への外部からの雨水の浸入を効果的に防止することができる。
【0009】
また前記本体筒と前記遮蔽板との間に長手方向が重力方向に沿う長尺部材を配設することにより円筒状本体筒内への虫、鳥等の浸入を防止できるだけでなく、「間接浸入雨」が次第に集合して大きな水溜まりを作るという問題を防止して、長尺部材に付着した雨水が長尺部材に沿って自然に落下し本体筒外へ排出されるようにすることができる。
さらに前記遮蔽板を着脱可能にすることにより、意匠を考慮し、外壁仕上げと同じ、又は同等な仕上げができ、形状も丸形、角形等様々なデザインが選べる。加えて前記遮蔽板により前記カラー前縁の開口部分を開閉する開閉機構を備えることにより、強風時の室内への風の浸入防止及び排気の逆流防止を行うと共に、感熱機構を加えることで、火災時に炎の浸入又は外部への延焼を防止することができる。
前記開閉機構は形状記憶合金を用いた機構とすることができ、また感熱ヒューズを用いた機構とすることもできる。その様にすることにより簡易でメンテナンスフリーの開閉機構とすることができる。
【0010】
【作用】
本発明の換気用ベントキャップによれば室内からの空気は本体筒内へ後部から入りカラーを介して排気され、この排気はカラー前縁と遮蔽板間のギャップから放散される。
また、カラー内側に溜まったほこりや油は雨天時に汚れ水となって流下するが、その汚れ水は前方へ突出しているカラー前縁から流下するので、外壁面を伝わって流下することはなく外壁面が汚れ水により汚されることを防止することができる。
しかも本発明の換気用ベントキャップによればカラー前縁が遮蔽板の外縁よりも内側に位置するので遮蔽板に当たった雨が垂れて、ダクト内に吹き込む様なことはなく、ダクト内への水の浸入を効率的に防止することができる。
【0011】
【実施例】
以下に本発明の換気用ベントキャップの実施例について説明する。
図1及び図2に示されるように本発明の一実施例の換気用ベントキャップの本体筒1にはその開口前端の周縁に外向けフランジ2を形成してある。
【0012】
また本体筒1の前端開口部には図上矢印Zで示す重力方向に延長する長尺部材3が取り付けられ、さらに本体筒1の開口前端の周縁に形成された外向けフランジ2に対してはガイド枠4が取り付けられる。このガイド枠4は枠フランジ5の外周に前方突出の円筒状カラー6を形成してなる。また枠フランジ5には支持部材7の基端部が固定して取り付けられ、その支持部材7の前端部には円盤状の遮蔽板8が取り付けられる。したがって円筒状カラー6は前記円筒状本体筒1と前記遮蔽板8との間に前記円筒状本体筒1と軸心を一致させて配設される。
すなわち前記ガイド枠4は円筒状の枠フランジ5の外周に前方へ拡径して突出する略円筒状のカラー6を形成したものとしてあって、前記枠フランジ5を前記支持部材7の基端部と前記外向けフランジ2とにより挾持する態様でガイド枠4は本体筒1の外向けフランジ2へ取付けてある。係る構造において前記カラー6の前縁6aは遮蔽板8の外縁8aよりも遮蔽板8の円心方向に向けて内側に位置するように設定される。
【0015】
また図上破線Xで示す前記ガイド枠4のカラー6前縁6aの突出方向は、ガイド枠4の外側方向とされ、かつその突出方向Xの延長線が遮蔽板8と交わるように設定されている。
また、カラー6は、その前縁6aと遮蔽板8背面との間に適度のギャップAが形成される突出量のものとして形成される。
【0016】
以上の本発明の換気用ベントキャップは建物における壁の取付孔へ嵌め込んで取り付け、本体筒1の外向けフランジ2外周縁と壁面との間は適宜コーキングしてシールする。
【0017】
室内からの油煙等を含む汚れた空気は本体筒1内へ後部開口部1bから入り、その空気は重力方向に沿って長尺部材3が取り付けられた本体筒1の前端開口部から前方へ排気され、その排気は遮蔽板8とガイド枠4のカラー6の前縁6aとの間のギャップAから拡散されて外気中に放散され、この換気用ベントキャップが取り付けられた建物の外壁面が汚れるのが極力防止される。
【0018】
また、使用中にガイド枠4の内面にはほこりや油等が溜まり、これらが雨降り時に汚れ水となって流下するが、ガイド枠4は外壁面から前方へ突出しているので、汚れ水が壁を伝わって流れるようなことは殆ど無く、外壁面における換気用ベントキャップ取り付け箇所周辺の汚れは極めて少なくなる。
【0019】
特に本発明の換気用ベントキャップでは、遮蔽板8が円形状とされ、前記カラー6の前縁6aは遮蔽板8の外縁8aよりも遮蔽板8の円心方向に向けて内側に位置するので、本体筒1内への雨風の吹き込みを遮蔽板8により効率的に防止することができる。
しかも、その遮蔽板8の外縁8aとカラー6の前縁6aとの位置関係は、カラー6の前縁6aの突出方向Xの延長線が遮蔽板8と交わるように設定されるので、カラー6を介する換気が円滑に行われ、かつ遮蔽板8による遮蔽が効果的となり、外部からの円筒状本体筒1内への雨水の浸入を効果的に防止することができる。 また以上の本発明の実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは長尺部材3により本体筒1内への虫、鳥等の浸入を防止できるだけでなく、その長尺部材3は本体筒1の前端開口部に図1上矢印Zで示す重力方向に延長して取り付けられているので、この長尺部材3に付着した雨水は長尺部材3に沿って自然に落下し本体筒1外へ排出される。
図3及び図4は本発明の他の実施例の換気用ベントキャップを示し、本実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、遮蔽板10が先の実施例とは異なり表面板10aと裏面板10bとの2重構造を有し、裏面板10bは孔部10cを有する。したがって本実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、ギャップA以外に図上矢印Bで示す空気の流通路が形成され、前記実施例に示す換気用ベントキャップより以上の換気効率を実現することができる。
図5及び図6は本発明のさらに他の実施例の換気用ベントキャップを示し、本実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、遮蔽板8が先の実施例とは異なりボルト・ナット11を介して枠フランジ5に対して着脱自在にされている。したがって、この実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、換気用ベントキャップが配設される建物の外壁と合わせた配色の遮蔽板8を取り付けることや、遮蔽板8にその他の意匠を凝らす等のことを効率よくかつ低コストに行うことができる。
図7は本発明の他の実施例の換気用ベントキャップを示し、本実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、円筒状本体筒1の開口部を開閉する伸縮開閉機構14に遮蔽板12が取り付けられ、さらにこの伸縮開閉機構14は感熱ヒューズ又は形状記憶合金を用いた防火ダンパー機構15に取り付けられている。伸縮開閉機構14は外風によって伸縮し、一方防火ダンパー機構15は火事の際に温度を感知して、一定の温度を基準として感熱ヒューズ又は形状記憶合金の作用により自動的に作動し、遮蔽板12により円筒状本体筒1の開口部が閉じられる。
以上をさらに詳細に説明すると、外風の一定以上の風圧によって伸縮開閉機構14のバネ14aは矢印A方向に縮み、それにより伸縮開閉機構14に取り付けられた遮蔽板12が矢印A方向に移動してカラー前縁の開口部が遮蔽板12により閉じられる。また外風が一定以下になった場合にはバネ14aは矢印B方向に復帰して、それにより伸縮開閉機構14に取り付けられた遮蔽板12は矢印B方向に移動して原位置に復帰し、カラー前縁の開口部は開かれる。
さらに火事の際には防火ダンパー機構15の形状記憶合金製バネ15aが一定以上の温度に達すると形状記憶合金の機能により矢印A方向に自動的に縮み、その結果防火ダンパー機構15に伸縮開閉機構14を介して取り付けられた遮蔽板12が矢印A方向に移動してカラー前縁の開口部が遮蔽板12により閉じられる。
なお、以上の防火ダンパー機構15が感熱ヒューズにより構成される場合には、通常の材質からなるバネ15aにより遮蔽板12は常時矢印A方向に付勢されており、このバネ15aの付勢力に抗して図示しない感熱ヒューズ製保持手段により遮蔽板12はカラー前縁の開口部を開いた図示する状態に保持される。一方火事の際には防火ダンパー機構15の感熱ヒューズ製保持手段が外部から流入した熱風や火炎の熱によって溶けて破断され、その結果バネ15aが矢印A方向に自動的に縮み、防火ダンパー機構15に伸縮開閉機構14を介して取り付けられた遮蔽板12が矢印A方向に移動してカラー前縁の開口部が遮蔽板12により閉じられる。
次ぎに以上の本発明の実施例の換気用ベントキャップと従来の換気用ベントキャップを用いてその性能試験を行った結果を示す。
1.試験方法と試験装置
1−1 試験方法についての説明
従来換気用ベントキャップの性能特性について本格的な試験が行われなかった理由に、実際と同様な場を再現できるような試験環境がなかったことが挙げられる。そこで本出願人は各種環境を自由にコントロールできる機能を有し、台風などの暴風雨を再現することが可能な人工気象室を用いて本発明及び従来の換気用ベントキャップの性能特性について本格的な試験を行った。
(1)本試験に用いた人工気象室が作り出せる環境スペックと本試験の設定条件
▲1▼降雨:max300mm→30,60,90mm/Hr
▲2▼風速:max10m/sec→4,7,10m/sec
▲3▼温度:−50〜+60℃→22℃
▲4▼湿度:10〜95%RH→50%
図8に示すように人工気象室内は2つのゾーンに分けられるようになっている。本試験ではこのうちゾーン21とゾーン22との間に外壁に想定した断熱パネル23を設け、ゾーン21側を外部、ゾーン22を室内として、それぞれ独立した環境の下で、外部側(ゾーン21)において天井の降雨ノズル24から雨を降らせながら送風機25により斜め上方45゜方向に風を送り、断熱パネル23の外壁面に上下左右に配置して取り付けられた4個の換気用ベントキャップ26に向けて直接、風と雨をあてるようにした。室内側(ゾーン22)には各換気用ベントキャップ26に接続して透明アクリルダクト27、27をダクト支持架台28により支持して配置し、その透明アクリルダクト27、27には断熱パネル23から1100mmの地点に集水口を設けその集水口に集水ホース29の一端を接続すると共に、その集水ホース29の他端部にメスシリンダ30を配置し、このメスシリンダ30により「雨溜まり」を集めて雨水の浸入量として計測できるようにした。
また前記透明アクリルダクト27、27にはその一方にフレキシブルダクトを介してストレートシロッコファン31と全熱交換型換気扇32の2機種を接続した。
以上の人工気象室を用い本試験ではストレートシロッコファン31の送風方向を給気・排気・停止の3パターンに分けて各パターン毎の雨の浸入距離及び浸入量などの測定項目及び測定基準を設定し、測定を行った。本試験においては特に透明アクリルダクトを使用したことで、雨が浸入する際のメカニズムと、雨の浸入距離及び浸入量を目視にて確認及び計測することができた。

(2)試験結果の概説
換気用ベントキャップ26からダクト27内に浸入する雨を観察した結果、ガラリなどに当たらず直接浸入してくる「直接浸入雨」と、ガラリやメッシュなどで止められ、そこで大きく成長してから浸入してくる「間接浸入雨」に分けられることがわかった。「直接浸入雨」はその時の雨粒と同径ということになるが、ダクト27内では管壁に接して細長く付着する。これを以下「線状水滴」と呼ぶ。この線状の状態ではまだ初期のため、漏水には至らない。ところが一般的には効果的と思われているガラリや必要不可欠な防鳥ネットなどに当たった雨はそこに付着して成長し、大きな粒径の雨粒となり外風や給気作用によって、そのままダクト27内に浸入する。この様な「間接浸入雨」は、さらにダクト27内で集合し、通常早い時間でダクト27底部へと流れ落ち、大きな水溜まりを作る。これを以下「雨溜まり」と呼ぶ。「雨溜まり」はダクト27の勾配が大きな順勾配(外勾配)の場合は外部へと流れ出るが、少々の順勾配程度では、給気の場合や外風が強い場合には室内側へと流れていき、ストレートシロッコファン31本体やダクト27の接続不良部などから漏れ落ちるものと思われる。したがってこの「雨溜まり」が漏水被害の直接的な要因と考えられる。「雨溜まり」は従来の平型やセルフードなど比較的雨が入りやすい構造の換気用ベントキャップ26の場合には、ダクト27底部で連結状態となり、隙間などがあれば連結状態のまま多量に流れ落ちる。ところが、深型や吹き抜け型などのように雨が入りがたい構造の換気用ベントキャップ26の場合には、せいぜい外壁近くで小粒径の「雨溜まり」が形成される程度である。しかし換気用ベントキャップ26から給気する場合、ダクト27に少々の順勾配がついている程度でも勾配に逆らって昇っていき、連結状態の時と同じように隙間などから流れ落ちる。
(3)風雨浸入試験測定結果
A.ストレートシロッコファンによる試験結果
▲1▼ 停止状態の場合
図9に降雨量30mm/Hrにおける、外風速を4m/s、7m/s、10m/sに変化させた場合の各種ベントキャップの線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離の測定結果を示す。線状水滴浸入距離は各形状共、外風速が大きくなるに従い、延びる傾向にある。特に平型、セルフードは外風速7m/s以上の時には1000mm以上に達する。また、それらは他の形状に比べ雨溜まり到達距離も長く、平型においては外風速10m/s時に雨溜まりが壁面より1100mmの集水口位置まで達している。以上の結果、4種類の比較では深型と上下吹き抜け型は平型とセルフードに比べ、雨が浸入し難い形状であるといえる。
以上の従来の換気用ベントキャップの測定結果に比べ本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは深型と同程度の性能を示す。
図10に外風速4m/s、7m/s各々において、降雨量を30,60及び90mm/Hrに変化させた場合の本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップ及び従来の平型とセルフードの線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離の測定結果を示す。平型とセルフード両形状の雨の浸入状況に対する外風速の影響を見ると、線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離は外風速が大きくなるに従い延びている。一方、両形状の雨の浸入状況に対する降雨量の影響を見ると、線状水滴浸入距離への影響は小さいが、外風速7m/s時において、降雨量が多くなるに従い、雨溜まり到達距離は延びている。
以上に対し本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、雨溜まりはなく、しかも線状水滴浸入距離も他のベントキャップに比べて小さい。
図11に外風速10m/s、降雨量90mm/Hrとしシロッコファンを停止長尺部材としたときにおける各種ベントキャップの雨浸入量を示す。図に示されるように雨の浸入量に関しては形状によって違いが生じ、中でも平型は他よりもかなり多く認められた。これに対し本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは、雨の浸入量は他のベントキャップに比べて小さいことがわかる。
▲2▼ 吸気状態の場合
図12にシロッコファンを吸気状態とし、降雨量を90mm/hrに設定したときの各換気用ベントキャップの集水量の測定結果を示す。図に示されるように平型では630ml以上にも集水量が達し、またセルフード及び深型では170〜180ml程度の集水量であるのに対し、本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは極めて集水量が少ない。
B.全熱交換型換気扇による試験結果
▲1▼ 吸気状態の場合
図13に降雨量30mm/hにおける、外風速を4m/s,7m/s,10m/sに変化させた場合の各種ベントキャップの線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離を示す。深型と上下吹抜け型については、線状水滴浸入距離に対する外風速の影響が見られるが、他は外風速の影響の比較ができない測定限界であるアクリルダクト全長2000mmまで達している。一方、雨溜まり到達距離は、各形状共に外風速の大きさに依らず、壁面より1100mmの集水口位置まで達している。特に平型は外風速7m/s,10m/s時に集水口を越えて雨溜まりが形成され、ダクト内確認限界の2000mmまで到達しているのが確認された。
以上に対し本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離共に他のベントキャップに比し良好な性能を示す。
図14に降雨量30mm/Hrにおける、外風速を4m/s,7m/s,10m/sに変化させた場合の各種ベントキャップの雨浸入量を示す。雨浸入量は、全ての形状において外風速に比例して多くなり、特に、平型とセルフードが深型と上下吹抜け型よりも多くなっている。また、セルフードが平型よりも多くなっている理由として、フードが下からの雨を取り込む形状をしている以外に、平型の試験の際、集水口を越えた雨溜まりを計測できなかったことも考えられる。
以上に対し本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは雨浸入量が何れの風速においても他のベントキャップに比し少ない。
▲2▼排気状態の場合
図15に外風速10m/sにおける、降雨量を30m/Hr、90mm/Hrに変化させた場合の各種ベントキャップの線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離を示す。線状水滴浸入距離は各形状共に外風速の大きさに係わらず、1000mm以下であり、特に上下吹抜け型においては計測されなかった。一方、雨溜まり到達距離は、平型において400mm付近までは計測されたが、他は計測されなかった。
以上に対し本発明実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは線状水滴浸入距離及び雨溜まり到達距離が何れの降雨量でも他のベントキャップに比し少ない。
(4)試験結果についての検討
▲1▼水平ガラリやメッシュなどが付属しているベントキャップの場合、その部分に当たった雨は集合して大きな水滴を作り、下方に落ちながらダクト側へ吸い込まれたり、或いは風によって押されて入ってくる。この現象による浸入量が量的に最も大きな要因であることが判明した。
▲2▼同様にして、水平ガラリやメッシュ以外でもセルフードなどのフード表面に落ちた雨が、フード表面を下に向かって落ちながら大きな水滴となり、端部から滴り落ちる際にダクト側へ吸い込まれる現象も大きな要因であることが判明した。
▲3▼下から吹く強風によって巻き上げられた雨粒は、粒径が小さいほど押し上げられることになる。この為、セルフードなどのように斜め下から雨が浸入すると、フードが雨の行く手を防いでしまい、結局、行き場所の無くなった雨が全てダクト内へ入ってしまう結果となり、フードの存在が逆効果となることが判明した。
▲4▼深型の場合、下からの雨が行き場所を無くす構造と、入口にガラリかメッシュの何れかが付いていることで平型とセルフードの短所の両方を持つため、平型とセルフードに比べれば性能はよいものの、欠点を有しているため問題は残る。
しかし、本発明の実施例の換気用ベントキャップでは以上の各種問題を克服できていることにより、各種条件の下で良好な特性を示すことが実証された。
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明の換気用ベントキャップによれば、円筒状本体筒の前端前方に支持部材により遮蔽板を設けてなる換気用ベントキャップにおいて、前記円筒状本体筒と前記遮蔽板との間に円筒状カラーを前記円筒状本体筒と軸心を一致させて配設したので、通風器取り付け箇所周辺の外壁面が排出空気によって汚されることが少なく、また汚れ水の流下跡が残るようなことも少なく、外壁面の美観を長年にわたって保持できる。
しかも前記カラー前縁が遮蔽板の外縁よりも内側に位置するようにしたので、暴風雨又は台風の際に浸入する雨に関して優れた防雨性能を持たせることができる。
また一般に防雨性能が良いものほど、フード等の外形が大きめな構造になるのに対し本発明の換気用ベントキャップは意匠的にもスマートで、外壁においてもあまり存在感のない形状となる。
さらに、防雨性能と換気効率(圧力損失)は一般的には反比例する傾向があるのに対し本発明の換気用ベントキャップによればその両者を両立して、例えば従来の吹き抜け型よりも圧力損失は小さく、しかも充分な防雨性能を有するものとなる。

[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a vent cap for ventilation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the event of a storm such as a typhoon, rain infiltrates through a ventilation vent cap installed on the outer wall of the building, and often causes accidents that cause much damage to the room. Reasons for such rainwater intrusion include the fact that the location of the problem is the outer wall that cannot be directly inspected, and that it is difficult to confirm the site because damage occurs in a short time during the passage of a typhoon etc. As a result, full-scale problem handling has not been done so far.
[0003]
As is well known, typical vent caps used for ventilation include the following.
▲ 1 ▼ Flat type
16 and 17 show a longitudinal sectional view and a front view thereof. The flat vent cap 101 is attached to a place where rain does not hit, such as under the eaves, but since there is no hood, there is a risk that rain directly enters. It is the cheapest but has the most rain and wind.
(2) Cell food type
18 and 19 show a longitudinal sectional view and a front view thereof. The cell hood type vent cap 102 is improved from the viewpoint of preventing rain from entering the flat type vent cap, and is the most popular product, and is attached to an outer wall surface other than under the eaves to prevent rain from entering. Rain from below well penetrates into the cell hood type vent cap 102.
[0004]
▲ 3 ▼ Deep type
20 and 21 show a longitudinal sectional view and a front view thereof. Although this deep vent cap 103 is a type that is currently being fixed as a countermeasure against rain infiltration, damage is caused when it is used on the air supply side, and is not complete. The drawback of the cell hood type vent cap 102 is improved, and the hood is further deepened. There is less rain infiltration than the flat type vent cap 101 and the cell hood type vent cap 102, but damage often occurs in the case of air supply. Sometimes.
▲ 4 ▼ type
FIG. 22 is a longitudinal sectional view, and FIG. There are two types of blow-through vent caps 104, upper and lower and left and right blow-throughs. It has the highest rain-proof performance among the existing products, but it has a design disadvantage because it protrudes greatly from the wall surface.
[0005]
In addition to the various vent caps described above, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-95239 discloses a vent cap for ventilation shown in FIGS. The ventilation vent cap shown in FIGS. 24 and 25 provides a ventilation vent cap in which the outer wall around the mounting location of the ventilator is less likely to be soiled by exhaust air for many years and the outer wall has less traces of dirty water flowing down. For this purpose, a shielding plate 108 is provided by a stay 107 in front of the front end of a cylindrical main body tube 106 having an outward flange 105 on the outer periphery of the front end, and a louver piece 109 is inclined forward at the open front end of the main body tube 106. A guide frame 114 having a louver ventilation hole 110 projecting therefrom and a collar 113 projecting forward on the outer periphery of a semicircular frame flange 112 in the lower half of the front end of the main body cylinder 106. The frame flange 112 is fixedly attached to the flange 115 of the main body tube 106, and between the collar front edge 114 a of the guide frame 114 and the back surface of the shielding plate 108. It is intended to form the exhaust gap 116 structures.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The conventional various vent caps for ventilation described above have the following problems.
In other words, conventional vent caps for various ventilations were merely studied based on unfounded images at actual sites, and were obtained by conducting accurate tests in a test room equipped with test facilities and the like. It was not designed based on data.
[0007]
Therefore, the conventional vent cap for ventilation has various shape variations and installation conditions as described above, and even if the selection and construction are examined, the conventional vent cap for ventilation is based on the main body itself. Because of the lack of image, there was a limit in preventing damage from water leakage at the construction level.
The present invention has been made in view of the above problems in the related art, and has as its object to provide a vent cap for ventilation that can minimize water leakage damage based on data obtained by an accurate test.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to prevent water leakage damage, it is necessary to consider the structure of the vent cap body provided in the part that is directly hit by rain. The present inventors performed a performance evaluation of a vent cap for ventilation based on a full-scale test, and corresponded to the vent cap of the present invention based on data obtained thereby.
That is, the vent cap for ventilation of the present invention,In a ventilation vent cap having a shielding plate provided by a support member in front of a front end of a cylindrical main body tube, the shielding plate is substantially flat, and a guide is provided from the periphery of the opening of the main body tube to the outer peripheral side of the main body tube. A cylindrical collar formed with a frame and projecting forward from the outer edge of the guide frame is characterized in that its axis coincides with the main body cylinder and its front edge is located inside the shielding plate. With such a configuration, it is possible to achieve both rain prevention performance and ventilation efficiency.
Further, the ventilation vent cap of the present invention is a ventilation vent cap in which a shielding plate is provided by a support member in front of a front end of a cylindrical main body cylinder, wherein a cylindrical collar is provided between the main body cylinder and the shielding plate. The collar is disposed so as to coincide with the axis, and the front edge of the collar is located inside the outer edge of the shield plate, and the front edge of the collar expands and projects toward the shield plate, and the extension line in the protruding direction is the shield plate. Is set to intersect withBy doing so, the ventilation through the vent cap for ventilation is performed smoothly, and the shielding by the shielding plate becomes effective,From the outside into the cylindrical body cylinderRainwater intrusion can be effectively prevented.
[0009]
In addition, by disposing a long member whose longitudinal direction is along the direction of gravity between the main body cylinder and the shielding plate, not only can insects, birds and the like intrude into the cylindrical main body cylinder, but also "indirect invasion". It is possible to prevent the problem that "rain" gradually gathers to form a large pool of water, so that the rainwater attached to the long member naturally falls along the long member and is discharged out of the main body cylinder.
Further, by making the shield plate detachable, the same or similar finish as the outer wall finish can be performed in consideration of the design, and various designs such as a round shape and a square shape can be selected. In addition, by providing an opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing the opening of the front edge of the collar by the shielding plate, it is possible to prevent the intrusion of wind into the room and the backflow of exhaust air in the case of strong wind, and to add a heat-sensing mechanism to prevent fire. At times, it is possible to prevent infiltration of a flame or spread of fire to the outside.
The opening / closing mechanism may be a mechanism using a shape memory alloy, or may be a mechanism using a thermal fuse. By doing so, a simple and maintenance-free opening / closing mechanism can be provided.
[0010]
[Action]
According to the vent cap for ventilation of the present invention, the air from the room enters the main body cylinder from the rear part and is exhausted through the collar, and the exhaust is radiated from the gap between the front edge of the collar and the shielding plate.
In addition, dust and oil collected inside the collar flow down as dirty water in rainy weather, but the dirty water flows down from the front edge of the collar that protrudes forward, so it does not flow down the outer wall surface and flows down. The wall surface can be prevented from being stained by dirty water.
Moreover, according to the vent cap for ventilation of the present invention, the front edge of the collar is located inside the outer edge of the shielding plate, so that the rain hitting the shielding plate drips and does not blow into the duct. Water intrusion can be efficiently prevented.
[0011]
【Example】
Hereinafter, examples of the vent cap for ventilation of the present invention will be described.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, an outward flange 2 is formed on a peripheral edge of an opening front end of a main body cylinder 1 of a vent cap for ventilation according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0012]
A long member 3 extending in the direction of gravity indicated by an arrow Z in the figure is attached to the front end opening of the main body cylinder 1, and further, an outward flange 2 formed on the periphery of the opening front end of the main body cylinder 1 is provided. The guide frame 4 is attached. The guide frame 4 is formed by forming a cylindrical collar 6 projecting forward on the outer periphery of a frame flange 5. A base end of a support member 7 is fixedly attached to the frame flange 5, and a disk-shaped shielding plate 8 is attached to a front end of the support member 7. Therefore, the cylindrical collar 6 is disposed between the cylindrical main body cylinder 1 and the shielding plate 8 so that the axis of the cylindrical collar 6 coincides with that of the cylindrical main body cylinder 1.
That is, the guide frame 4 is formed by forming a substantially cylindrical collar 6 projecting outward from the outer periphery of a cylindrical frame flange 5 so as to expand in diameter. The guide frame 4 is attached to the outward flange 2 of the main body tube 1 so as to be sandwiched between the outer flange 2 and the outward flange 2. In such a structure, the front edge 6a of the collar 6 is set so as to be located inside the outer edge 8a of the shielding plate 8 toward the center of the shielding plate 8 in the direction of the center of the circle.
[0015]
The projecting direction of the front edge 6a of the collar 6 of the guide frame 4 indicated by the broken line X in the drawing is set to the outside of the guide frame 4, and the extension of the projecting direction X intersects the shielding plate 8. I have.
The collar 6 is formed so as to have a protruding amount such that an appropriate gap A is formed between the front edge 6a and the back surface of the shielding plate 8.
[0016]
The vent cap for ventilation according to the present invention described above is fitted and mounted in a mounting hole of a wall in a building, and a gap between the outer peripheral edge of the outward flange 2 of the main body tube 1 and the wall surface is appropriately sealed by sealing.
[0017]
Dirty air containing oil smoke and the like from the room enters the main body cylinder 1 through the rear opening 1b, and the air is exhausted forward from the front end opening of the main body cylinder 1 to which the long member 3 is attached along the direction of gravity. The exhaust is diffused from the gap A between the shielding plate 8 and the front edge 6a of the collar 6 of the guide frame 4 and diffused into the outside air, and the outer wall surface of the building to which the vent cap for ventilation is attached becomes dirty. Is prevented as much as possible.
[0018]
In addition, dust and oil accumulate on the inner surface of the guide frame 4 during use, and they flow down as dirty water when it rains. However, since the guide frame 4 projects forward from the outer wall surface, the dirty water is There is almost no flow along the surface, and the dirt around the area where the ventilation vent cap is attached on the outer wall surface is extremely reduced.
[0019]
In particular, in the ventilation vent cap of the present invention, the shielding plate 8 is formed in a circular shape, and the front edge 6a of the collar 6 is located on the inner side in the direction of the center of the shielding plate 8 with respect to the outer edge 8a of the shielding plate 8. In addition, it is possible to efficiently prevent the blowing of rain wind into the main body tube 1 by the shielding plate 8.
In addition, the positional relationship between the outer edge 8a of the shielding plate 8 and the front edge 6a of the collar 6 is set so that the extension of the front edge 6a of the collar 6 in the protruding direction X intersects the shielding plate 8. Ventilation can be performed smoothly, and the shielding by the shielding plate 8 becomes effective, so that the infiltration of rainwater into the cylindrical main body cylinder 1 from the outside can be effectively prevented. In the vent cap for ventilation according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, not only the long member 3 can prevent insects, birds, and the like from entering the main body cylinder 1, but also the long member 3 has the front end opening of the main body cylinder 1. The rainwater attached to the long member 3 naturally falls along the long member 3 and is discharged to the outside of the main body cylinder 1 because the water is attached to the long member 3 so as to extend in the gravity direction shown by the upper arrow Z in FIG.
3 and 4 show a vent cap for ventilation according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the vent cap for ventilation of this embodiment, the shielding plate 10 is different from the previous embodiment in that the front plate 10a and the back plate 10b The back plate 10b has a hole 10c. Therefore, in the vent cap for ventilation of the present embodiment, an air flow path indicated by an arrow B in the drawing is formed in addition to the gap A, and it is possible to realize a ventilation efficiency higher than that of the vent cap for ventilation shown in the above embodiment.
5 and 6 show a vent cap for ventilation according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In the vent cap for ventilator of this embodiment, the shielding plate 8 is different from the previous embodiment through bolts and nuts 11. It is detachable from the frame flange 5. Therefore, in the ventilation vent cap of this embodiment, it is necessary to attach the shielding plate 8 having a color scheme that matches the outer wall of the building where the ventilation vent cap is provided, and to elaborate other designs on the shielding plate 8. It can be performed efficiently and at low cost.
FIG. 7 shows a vent cap for ventilation according to another embodiment of the present invention. In the vent cap for vent according to the present embodiment, a shielding plate 12 is attached to a telescopic opening / closing mechanism 14 for opening and closing an opening of a cylindrical main body cylinder 1. The expansion / contraction opening / closing mechanism 14 is attached to a fire damper mechanism 15 using a heat-sensitive fuse or a shape memory alloy. The expansion / contraction opening / closing mechanism 14 expands / contracts due to the external wind, while the fire protection damper mechanism 15 senses the temperature in the event of a fire and automatically operates based on a certain temperature by the action of a heat-sensitive fuse or a shape memory alloy. The opening of the cylindrical main body tube 1 is closed by 12.
More specifically, the spring 14a of the telescopic opening / closing mechanism 14 contracts in the direction of arrow A due to the wind pressure of a certain level or more of the external wind, whereby the shielding plate 12 attached to the telescopic opening / closing mechanism 14 moves in the direction of arrow A. The opening at the front edge of the collar is closed by the shielding plate 12. Also, when the outside wind becomes lower than a certain level, the spring 14a returns in the direction of arrow B, whereby the shield plate 12 attached to the telescopic opening / closing mechanism 14 moves in the direction of arrow B and returns to the original position, The opening at the leading edge of the collar is opened.
Further, in the event of a fire, when the shape memory alloy spring 15a of the fire protection damper mechanism 15 reaches a certain temperature or higher, the function of the shape memory alloy automatically shrinks in the direction of the arrow A. The shield plate 12 attached via the cover 14 moves in the direction of arrow A, and the opening at the front edge of the collar is closed by the shield plate 12.
When the above-described fire damper mechanism 15 is constituted by a heat-sensitive fuse, the shield plate 12 is always urged in the direction of arrow A by a spring 15a made of a normal material, and the urging force of the spring 15a is resisted. Then, the shield plate 12 is held in the state shown in the figure with the opening at the front edge of the collar opened by the holding means made of a thermal fuse (not shown). On the other hand, in the event of a fire, the holding means made of the heat-sensitive fuse of the fire protection damper mechanism 15 is melted and broken by the hot air or the heat of the flame that flows in from the outside. As a result, the spring 15a automatically contracts in the direction of arrow A, and the fire protection damper mechanism 15 The shield plate 12 attached via the telescopic opening / closing mechanism 14 moves in the direction of arrow A, and the opening at the front edge of the collar is closed by the shield plate 12.
Next, the results of performance tests of the ventilation vent cap of the embodiment of the present invention and the conventional ventilation vent cap will be described.
1. Test method and test equipment
1-1 Explanation of test method
The reason that a full-scale test has not been conducted on the performance characteristics of the vent cap for ventilation in the past is that there was no test environment capable of reproducing a place similar to the actual place. Therefore, the present applicant has a function capable of freely controlling various environments, and uses an artificial weather chamber capable of reproducing a storm such as a typhoon. The test was performed.
(1) Environmental specifications that can be created by the climate chamber used for this test and the setting conditions for this test
(1) Rainfall: max300mm → 30,60,90mm / Hr
(2) Wind speed: max 10 m / sec → 4, 7, 10 m / sec
(3) Temperature: -50 to + 60 ° C → 22 ° C
(4) Humidity: 10 to 95% RH → 50%
As shown in FIG. 8, the artificial weather chamber is divided into two zones. In this test, a heat insulation panel 23 assumed on the outer wall is provided between the zone 21 and the zone 22, and the zone 21 side is the outside and the zone 22 is the room. The wind is sent obliquely upward at an angle of 45 ° by the blower 25 while raining from the rainfall nozzle 24 on the ceiling, and directed toward four ventilation vent caps 26 arranged and mounted on the outer wall surface of the heat insulating panel 23 in the vertical and horizontal directions. And directly hit the wind and rain. On the indoor side (zone 22), transparent acrylic ducts 27, 27 are connected to the ventilation vent caps 26 and supported by a duct support base 28, and the transparent acrylic ducts 27, 27 are 1100 mm from the heat insulating panel 23. A water collecting port is provided at the point (1), one end of a water collecting hose 29 is connected to the water collecting port, and a measuring cylinder 30 is disposed at the other end of the collecting hose 29, and "rain pool" is collected by the measuring cylinder 30. To measure the amount of rainwater infiltration.
Further, two types of the transparent acryl ducts 27, 27, a straight sirocco fan 31 and a total heat exchange type ventilation fan 32, were connected to one of them through a flexible duct.
In this test using the artificial weather chamber described above, the air flow direction of the straight sirocco fan 31 was divided into three patterns of air supply, exhaust, and stop, and measurement items and measurement criteria such as the rain penetration distance and penetration amount for each pattern were set. Then, the measurement was performed. In this test, in particular, by using a transparent acrylic duct, it was possible to visually confirm and measure the mechanism of rain invasion and the distance and amount of rain infiltration.

(2) Outline of test results
As a result of observing the rain entering the duct 27 from the vent cap 26 for ventilation, it was found that "direct infiltration rain", which directly entered without hitting the lash, etc., was stopped by the lash or mesh, etc. It turned out to be divided into "indirect infiltration rain". The “direct infiltration rain” has the same diameter as the raindrop at that time, but adheres to the pipe wall in the duct 27 in a slender manner. This is hereinafter referred to as “linear water droplet”. Since this linear state is still in its infancy, it does not lead to water leakage. However, rain hitting gully, which is generally considered to be effective, or an indispensable bird-proof net, attaches to it and grows, forming large-diameter raindrops, and as such, due to the external wind and air supply, the ducts are left as they are. 27. Such “indirect infiltration rain” further collects in the duct 27, and usually flows down to the bottom of the duct 27 at an early time to form a large water pool. This is hereinafter referred to as “rain pool”. The “rain pool” flows outward when the slope of the duct 27 is a large forward slope (outside slope). However, when the slope is slightly forward, it flows toward the indoor side when air is supplied or the outside wind is strong. It is considered that the water leaks from the sirocco fan 31 main body, the connection failure of the duct 27, and the like. Therefore, this “rain pool” is considered to be the direct cause of the water leakage damage. In the case of a vent cap 26 for ventilation that has a relatively easy structure for rain to enter, such as a conventional flat type or cell hood, the “rain pool” is connected at the bottom of the duct 27, and if there is a gap etc. run down. However, in the case of the vent cap 26 for ventilation having a structure that does not allow rain to enter, such as a deep type or a blow-through type, a small-sized “rain pool” is formed at most near the outer wall. However, when air is supplied from the ventilation vent cap 26, even if the duct 27 has a slight forward gradient, the duct 27 rises against the gradient and flows down from a gap or the like as in the connected state.
(3) Wind and rain penetration test measurement results
A. Test results with straight sirocco fan
▲ 1 ▼ In the stop state
FIG. 9 shows the measurement results of the linear water droplet penetration distance and the rainfall reaching distance of various vent caps when the external wind speed was changed to 4 m / s, 7 m / s, and 10 m / s at a rainfall of 30 mm / Hr. The linear water droplet intrusion distance tends to increase as the external wind speed increases in each shape. In particular, the flat type and cell hood reach 1000 mm or more when the external wind speed is 7 m / s or more. Further, they have a longer reach of the rain pool than other shapes, and in the flat type, the rain pool reaches the water collecting port position of 1100 mm from the wall surface when the external wind speed is 10 m / s. As a result, in comparison of the four types, it can be said that the deep type and the vertical blow-through type have shapes in which rain is less likely to enter than the flat type and the cell hood.
Compared to the above measurement results of the conventional vent cap, the vent cap of the embodiment of the present invention shows the same performance as the deep vent cap.
FIG. 10 shows the vent cap for ventilation according to the embodiment of the present invention and the conventional flat and cell hood lines when the rainfall is changed to 30, 60 and 90 mm / Hr at the external wind speeds of 4 m / s and 7 m / s, respectively. The measurement results of the water droplet penetration distance and the rainfall reach distance are shown. Looking at the influence of the external wind speed on the infiltration situation of rain in both the flat type and the cell hood shape, the linear water droplet infiltration distance and the rainfall reach distance increase as the external wind speed increases. On the other hand, when looking at the influence of the amount of rainfall on the infiltration situation of rain of both shapes, the effect on the linear water droplet infiltration distance is small, but when the external wind speed is 7 m / s, the rainfall reach distance increases as the amount of rainfall increases. Extending.
On the other hand, in the vent cap for ventilation according to the embodiment of the present invention, there is no rain pool, and the distance of linear water drop penetration is smaller than that of other vent caps.
FIG. 11 shows the amount of rain penetration of various vent caps when the outside wind speed is 10 m / s, the rainfall amount is 90 mm / Hr, and the sirocco fan is a long stop member. As shown in the figure, there was a difference in the amount of rain infiltration depending on the shape, and the flat type was recognized much more than others. In contrast, it can be seen that the vent cap for ventilation according to the embodiment of the present invention has a smaller amount of rain infiltration than the other vent caps.
▲ 2 ▼ In case of intake
FIG. 12 shows the measurement results of the water collection amount of each ventilation vent cap when the sirocco fan is in the intake state and the rainfall amount is set to 90 mm / hr. As shown in the figure, the flat type can collect water of 630 ml or more, and the cell hood and the deep type can collect water of about 170 to 180 ml. Low water volume.
B. Test results with a total heat exchange type ventilation fan
▲ 1 ▼ In case of intake
FIG. 13 shows the linear water droplet penetration distance and the rainfall reaching distance of various vent caps when the external wind speed is changed to 4 m / s, 7 m / s, and 10 m / s at a rainfall of 30 mm / h. In the case of the deep type and the vertical type, the effect of the external wind speed on the linear water droplet infiltration distance can be seen, but in other cases, the total length of the acrylic duct reaches 2000 mm, which is a measurement limit where the effect of the external wind speed cannot be compared. On the other hand, the rainfall reaching distance reaches the water collecting port position of 1100 mm from the wall surface regardless of the size of the external wind speed in each shape. In particular, in the case of the flat type, when the external wind speed was 7 m / s and 10 m / s, a rain pool was formed beyond the water collecting port, and it was confirmed that the rain reached the detection limit of 2000 mm in the duct.
On the other hand, the vent cap for ventilation according to the embodiment of the present invention shows better performance in both the linear water droplet infiltration distance and the rainfall reach distance as compared with other vent caps.
FIG. 14 shows rain infiltration amounts of various vent caps when the external wind speed is changed to 4 m / s, 7 m / s, and 10 m / s at a rainfall amount of 30 mm / Hr. The amount of rain infiltration increases in proportion to the external wind speed in all shapes, and in particular, the flat type and the cell hood are larger than the deep type and the vertical type. Also, the reason that the cell hood is larger than the flat type is that, other than the shape that the hood takes in rain from below, it is not possible to measure the rain pool beyond the water intake during the flat type test It is also possible.
On the other hand, in the vent cap for ventilation according to the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of rain infiltration is smaller than the other vent caps at any wind speed.
(2) In case of exhaust
FIG. 15 shows the linear water droplet penetration distance and the rainfall reaching distance of various vent caps when the rainfall amount is changed to 30 m / Hr and 90 mm / Hr at an external wind speed of 10 m / s. The linear water droplet infiltration distance was 1000 mm or less irrespective of the size of the external wind speed in each shape, and was not measured particularly in the vertical blow-through type. On the other hand, the rainfall reach distance was measured up to around 400 mm in the flat type, but was not measured in other cases.
On the other hand, in the vent cap for ventilation according to the embodiment of the present invention, the linear water droplet infiltration distance and the rainfall reach distance are smaller than those of other vent caps at any rainfall.
(4) Examination of test results
(1) In the case of a vent cap that comes with a horizontal gully or a mesh, the rain that hits that part collects and creates large water droplets, which are drawn down into the duct side while falling down, or pushed by the wind Come in. It has been found that the amount of infiltration due to this phenomenon is the largest factor in terms of quantity.
(2) Similarly, rain that falls on the surface of a hood, such as a cell hood, other than a horizontal gully or a mesh, becomes a large water droplet while falling down the hood surface, and is sucked into the duct when it drip from the end The phenomenon also turned out to be a major factor.
{Circle over (3)} Rain particles rolled up by a strong wind blowing from below will be pushed up as the particle size becomes smaller. For this reason, if rain enters from diagonally below, such as a cell hood, the hood will prevent the rain from going, and eventually, all the rain that has no place to go to will enter the duct, and the existence of the hood will It turned out to be counterproductive.
(4) In the case of the deep type, the flat type has both the flat type and the disadvantage of the cell hood due to the structure that eliminates the place where rain from below goes and the entrance with either a gull or a mesh, so the flat type Although the performance is better than that of the cell hood, the problem remains because it has disadvantages.
However, the vent caps for ventilation according to the examples of the present invention were able to overcome the various problems described above, and demonstrated that they exhibited good characteristics under various conditions.
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the vent cap for ventilation of the present invention, in the vent cap for ventilation formed by providing a shielding plate by a support member in front of the front end of the cylindrical main body cylinder, between the cylindrical main body cylinder and the shielding plate Since the cylindrical collar is disposed so that the axis of the cylindrical main body cylinder coincides with the axis of the cylindrical main body, the outer wall surface around the mounting location of the ventilator is less likely to be contaminated by the exhaust air, and a trace of the flow of dirty water remains. The appearance of the outer wall surface can be maintained for many years.
In addition, since the front edge of the collar is located inside the outer edge of the shielding plate, it is possible to provide excellent rainproof performance with respect to storms or rain that enters during a typhoon.
In general, the better the rainproof performance, the larger the outer shape of the hood and the like, while the vent cap for ventilation of the present invention is smart in design and has a shape with little presence on the outer wall.
Further, while the rainproofing performance and the ventilation efficiency (pressure loss) generally tend to be inversely proportional, the ventilation vent cap of the present invention achieves both of them, and for example, has a higher pressure than the conventional blow-through type. Loss is small, and sufficient rain-proof performance is obtained.
