Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、レナード効果(瀧効果)を利用して空気中に負イオンを発生させる負イオン発生装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、健康志向が高まるなか、室内空気の清浄化はもとより更なる付加価値として空気イオンの利用が注目されている。空気イオンは、我々の仕事の能率や情緒に対して、明らかに影響をあたえる。特に負イオンは、精神を安定させ、呼吸器の機能を高める効果を持つといわれている。
【0003】
水滴が空中で分裂するとき、より正確には、水滴が障壁である金属板に衝突して微細水滴に分裂するとき、付近の空気中に負イオンが発生し、微細水滴が負イオンと等量の正電荷を得る。この現象は、レナード効果(Lenard’effect)として古くから知られている。その後、水滴が空気中で分裂するだけでレナードと同様な効果が起こり得る事がシンプソン(Simmpson)によってたしかめられた。
【0004】
レナード効果を利用して空気中に負イオンを発生させる装置は、例えば特公平5−587555号(先行例1)に記載され、また、このような負イオン発生装置を一般家庭用又は事務所用として小型化をしたものは、例えば実開平4−126717号公報(先行例2)に空気清浄機として開示されている。
【0005】
図7に先行例2の構成を示す。図7において、レナード効果を利用した負イオン発生装置は、要するに水分裂部101と、気液分離部102と、水槽103との組合わせからなるものである。水槽103内の水は、ポンプ104で汲み出されて水分裂部101に供給され、水分裂部101のノズル105から高圧で噴出され、水分裂部101の筒の内壁106に衝突して微細水滴に分裂し、空気中に負イオンを生ずる。
【0006】
一方、水分裂部101内には、送風機107から吸引された外気が吹込まれ、水分裂部101に発生した負イオンを含む微細水滴は、空気の旋回流によって気液分離部102に送風され、気液分離部102内で、旋回しつつ上昇する間に、旋回流によって生じた遠心力作用を受けて気液分離され、水滴は水槽103内に戻され、負イオンを含む空気が送気口108から外気中に送気される。
【0007】
クリーンルームなどに使用される大型の負イオン発生機においても基本的な構成は全く同じである。小型の負イオン発生装置では水分裂部と、気液分離部と、水槽とが一体に組付けられるのに対し、大型の負イオン発生機においては、水分裂部となる水噴射塔と、気液分離部となるサイクロン塔とが配管で接続され、さらに送風機と水噴射塔とがダクトで接続される。
【0008】
水槽は、水分裂部に供給すべき水の供給源であり、また、水分裂部に供給された大部分の余剰の水及び気液分離部で分離された水滴を回収して循環使用するためのものであり、特に水分裂部に供給した水の大部分を循環水として回収する必要から、水槽は水分裂部と連通し、循環水は、水分裂部内に一定量が溜められている。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記のような構成で風量を増加させていくと、水分裂部内に溜められた循環水の水面は、水噴射塔内に吹込まれた空気の旋回流の影響を受けて回転し、その回転運動によって、振動・波立ちが生じ、これが騒音発生の原因になるばかりでなく、さらには、空気の旋回流に水分裂部内の循環水が巻き上げられ、巻き上げられた水が大粒の水滴となって気液分離部内に吹込まれ、気液分離処理されぬまま、送気口から外気中に吹き出される虞がある。
【0010】
水槽内の水は、水槽から汲み出されて水分裂部に供給され、水分裂部では、装置の外部から吸引された空気と接触して再び水槽内に戻され、繰り返し使用されるものであるため、空気中に含まれる塵埃、細菌、糸状菌、胞子類等が水槽内の循環水中に取り込まれることになる。
【0011】
したがって、気液分離部で処理されぬまま大粒の水滴が装置の外部に吹出されると、循環水中に含まれるこれら塵埃、細菌、糸状菌、胞子類等も水滴とともに装置の外部に吹き出される虞がある。
【0012】
負イオン発生装置においては、水槽内の水は、オーバーフロー、排水などの措置によって入れ替えるようになっており、水中の塵埃、細菌、糸状菌、胞子類等は、水槽内の水のオーバーフロー、排水によって水槽内から除去されるべきであり、循環水が、水滴として直接外気に放出されてはならない。
【0013】
本発明の目的は、空気の旋回流による水分裂部内の循環水の巻き上げを阻止し、循環水が大粒の水滴として装置の外部に放出されることのない負イオン発生装置を提供することにある。
【0015】
【課題を解決するための手段】

【0026】
【実施例】
(実施例1)
以下に本発明の実施の形態を図によって説明する。図1において、負イオン発生装置は、水分裂部101と、送風機107と、気液分離部102と、水槽103との組合わせからなっているものである。
【0027】
水分裂部101は、水槽103内から汲み上げられた水を噴射して微細水滴に分裂させる部分であり、この実施形態においては水噴射塔1内に、水を噴射する多数のノズル105を備えた水噴射管2を配管し、水噴射管2は、ポンプ104を介して水槽103に接続している。
【0028】
すなわち、水噴射塔1は、水分裂部101を形成するものであり、内外二重筒からなり、外筒3は送風機107に接続され、内筒4はサイクロン塔5に接続されている。送風機107は、外気を装置の外部から吸引して水噴射塔1内に吹込み、水噴射塔1内で空気の旋回流を形成し、これをサイクロン塔5に送風するものであり、送風機107に接続されたダクト6を水噴射塔1の外筒3の上部に連通させている。
【0029】
サイクロン塔5は、気液分離部102を形成するものであり、水分裂部101に発生させた微細水滴を空気の旋回流と共に受入れ、空気の旋回によって生ずる遠心力作用で気液分離をし、水滴の分裂によって生じた負イオンを含む空気を装置の外部に排出するものである。
【0030】
この実施形態においては、サイクロン塔5と水噴射塔1の内筒4とをダクト6をもって接続している。内筒4は、水噴射塔1の外筒3の中心部分に上下に配管されたものであり、周方向に張り出したヘッダー7を有し、水噴射管2は、上方に起立させてヘッダー7に同心状に装備され、多数のノズル105を外筒3の内面に向けて設置されているものである。
【0031】
なお、内筒4の下端開口位置は、ノズル105より噴射される水滴が直接入らない高さに設定されている。水槽103は、水噴射管2に送水する水を充填するタンクであり、水槽103には、オーバーフロー口8が設けられており、給水口(図示略)より常時給水されて一定の水位を保っている。水槽103には、水噴射塔1内に供給され、水噴射塔1に生じた余剰の水及びサイクロン塔5で分離した水が回収される。
【0032】
水槽103と、サイクロン塔5の底とは、ドレン抜き9で接続され、水槽103と、水噴射塔1とは、配管10をもって互いに連通させている。このため、水槽103内に充填された水は、機内を循環し、その循環水の一部は水噴射塔1内に流入してその内部に溜められる。
【0033】
この結果、水噴射塔1の上部は、空気を流動させる上方の風路部11となり、下部の一定範囲は、循環水に満たされて水路部12となる、すなわち、水分裂部101は、風路部11と、水路部12とに区画される。
【0034】
この実施形態において、送風機107の駆動によって、装置の外部から吸込まれた空気は、水噴射管2の吸込口13より水噴射塔1の外筒3の内面に沿って旋回しつつ下降する。一方、水槽103内の水は、ポンプ104によって汲み出され、水噴射管2の各ノズル105より噴射され、外筒3の内面に衝突して微細水滴に分裂し、水噴射塔1の外筒内を旋回しつつ下降する空気流と接触し、その空気中に負イオンを発生させる。ノズル105より噴出された大部分の水滴は、そのまま外筒内面を伝わって水路部12内に落下し、水槽103内に戻されて循環使用される。
【0035】
水分裂部101に発生した負イオンは、微細水滴と共に空気の旋回流にのせられ、水路部12の水面で反転して内筒4内に流入し、さらにサイクロン塔5内に送り込まれ、サイクロン塔5内を旋回しつつ下降する間に旋回により生じた遠心力作用で、旋回空気中の微細水滴及び空気中に含まれる微細な塵が遠心力分離され、水滴は、塵とともにサイクロン塔5の内壁を伝って水槽103内に戻され、負イオンを含む清浄な空気は、反転上昇してサイクロン塔5の送気口108から装置の外部に排出される。
【0036】
この実施形態において、水路部12に溜められた循環水の水面WLには、風路部11を下降して内筒4内に反転上昇する空気の旋回流が吹き付けられる。本発明は、空気の旋回流が作用する循環水の水面WLに波立ち押え手段14を設置して空気の旋回流の作用による水路部12の水面WLの波立ちを阻止するものである。
【0037】
図2において、この実施例においては、波立ち押え手段14に円盤状の遮蔽板15を用い、遮蔽板15を水路部12の水面WLに浮かべて風路部11と水路部12とを実質的に隔離している。遮蔽板15は、水面WLに浮かべるだけでなく、水分裂部101の底部に溜まった循環水の上方にあって、風路部11と水路部12とを実質的に隔離できればよいと考えられるが、水噴射塔1の内筒4の底部と、遮蔽板15との距離が短くなると、その分、水噴射塔1の内部の空気の圧力損失が大きくなり、サイクロン塔5の送気口108より吹き出される空気量、つまり負イオン発生装置の風量が減ることになる。
【0038】
逆に、水噴射塔1の内筒4の開口縁と、遮蔽板15間の距離を大きくすると、その分、水噴射塔1の高さが高くなり、装置が大型化し、これがコストアップの要因となり、さらには、水噴射塔1の内筒4の底面と遮蔽板15の間で乱流が起こり、かえって水分裂部101の内部の圧力損失が高くなる。このため、水噴射塔1の内筒4の下端と遮蔽板15との距離、つまりは水噴射塔1の下部に溜まった循環水の水面WLと、水噴射塔1の内筒4間の距離は、水噴射塔1の内部圧力0.005kgf/cm2時において、100〜150mm程度が望ましい。
【0039】
遮蔽板15は、風路部11の空気旋回流の水路部12への影響を少なくするため、可能なかぎり水路部12に溜まった循環水の表面を覆うことが望ましいが、風路部11と水路部12間の循環水の流通が阻害されると、ノズル105より噴射された循環水を水路部12に受入れて水槽103に導くことができない。このため、遮蔽板15と水噴射塔1の外筒3の内面との間には循環水の流通が阻害されない程度の隙間を確保しておくことが必要である。
【0040】
ノズル105より噴射された循環水は、この隙間を通り、水路部12に導かれ、水槽103に戻される。上記構成により、この実施形態においては、送風機107から水分裂部101内に吹込まれた空気の旋回流は、外筒3内を下降して遮蔽板15に衝突して反転上昇し、遮蔽板15を回転させる事があっても、遮蔽板15に妨げられて循環水への影響は遮断され、循環水の水面WLを波立たせることがなく、したがって、水滴は飛散しない。
【0041】
以上、実施例においては、遮蔽板15に円盤状の板を用いたが、あるいは、遮蔽板15aは、図3に示すように、円盤の中央が突出した円錐形状のものであっても良い。波立ち押え手段14に円錐形状の円盤を用いれば、ノズル105から落下した循環水を円錐の斜面16で誘導して容易に水路部12に導くことができる。
【0042】
あるいは逆に、図4に示すように、中心が窪んだ円錐状であって、中心部に穴17を有する遮蔽板15bを用いても同様の効果が得られる。
【0043】
以上の実施形態は、水分裂部101である水噴射塔1内に区画形成された風路部11と、水路部12間を波立ち押え手段14で隔離することによって、水路部12の循環水の水面WLの波立ちを防止する例であるが、水路部12の水面WLの波立ちを防止するには、風路部11と、水路部12間を隔離するまでもなく、空気の旋回流が水路部12の水面WLに作用しても、実質的に、水面WLの回転運動を抑えることができれば、水面の波立ちが防止され、振動の発生をなくすことができる。
【0044】
(実施例2)
図5は、波立ち押え手段14に、旋回防止板18を用いた例である。旋回防止板18は、図5(b)に示すように、平板19を垂直に立てた姿勢で放射状(十字)に組合わせたものである。旋回防止板18を図5(a)のように、水噴射塔1の水路部12の循環水中に差込み、各平板19の上部は、循環水の水面WLから風路部11へ突出させて定位置に固定保持すると、旋回防止板18は、水噴射塔1の中心部を通り、外筒3の内面に接触する位置に配設され、水路部12内の循環水の水面WLは風路部11に開放されるが、風路部11内を流動する空気の旋回流が水路部12の水面WLに作用しても平板19の板面が堰となって水面WLの回転運動は阻止され、したがって波立ちは生ぜず、また振動音が発することもない。
【0045】
なお、本実施例では旋回防止板18は十字板の組み合わせとしたが、平板あるいは複数枚の板の組み合わせでもよい。
【0046】
(実施例3)
図6(a)、(b)は、旋回防止板18の上端にさらに遮蔽板15を取付けた遮蔽・旋回防止板20を波立ち押え手段に用いる例である。この例によれば、遮蔽板15によって、風路部11と、水路部12とが隔離され、さらに、旋回防止板18によって、水路部12内に溜められた循環水の回転運動が抑えられ、たとえ水路部12内の循環水の水面が暴れて旋回防止板18にあたり、水滴の飛散が起こったとしても、水滴は、遮蔽板15の裏面に当たり、再び風路部11に飛び出す量は大幅に削減され、より完全に水面WLの波立ちを抑える事ができる。
【0047】
【発明の効果】
以上のように本発明によれば、水槽内に通じて水分裂部の底に溜められた水路部の水の波立ちを抑え、水面からの水滴の飛散を防止するため、気液分離部から装置の外部への大粒の水滴の飛散を抑制でき、また、あわせて、水面の回転運動、波立ちに起因した装置全体の振動または騒音の発生を抑制できる効果が得られる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a negative ion generator that generates negative ions in the air by utilizing the Leonard effect (the soot effect).
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, the use of air ions has attracted attention as a further added value as well as the purification of indoor air as health-consciousness increases. Air ions clearly have an impact on the efficiency and emotions of our work. In particular, negative ions are said to have the effect of stabilizing the mind and enhancing the function of the respiratory organs.
[0003]
When water drops break up in the air, more precisely, when water drops collide with a metal plate that is a barrier and break up into fine water drops, negative ions are generated in the nearby air, and the fine water drops are equivalent to negative ions. Get a positive charge. This phenomenon has long been known as the Leonard effect. Later, it was confirmed by Simpson that a similar effect to Leonard could occur just by splitting the water droplets in the air.
[0004]
A device for generating negative ions in the air using the Leonard effect is described in, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-587555 (Prior Example 1), and such a negative ion generator is used for general homes or offices. For example, Japanese Unexamined Utility Model Publication No. 4-126717 (Prior Art 2) discloses an air cleaner.
[0005]
FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the prior example 2. In FIG. 7, the negative ion generator using the Leonard effect is basically a combination of a water splitting unit 101, a gas-liquid separation unit 102, and a water tank 103. The water in the water tank 103 is pumped out by the pump 104 and supplied to the water splitting unit 101, and is ejected at a high pressure from the nozzle 105 of the water splitting unit 101. To generate negative ions in the air.
[0006]
On the other hand, the outside air sucked from the blower 107 is blown into the water splitting unit 101, and fine water droplets containing negative ions generated in the water splitting unit 101 are blown to the gas-liquid separation unit 102 by the swirling flow of air, In the gas-liquid separator 102, while rising while swirling, the liquid-liquid separation is performed under the action of centrifugal force generated by the swirling flow, water droplets are returned to the water tank 103, and air containing negative ions is supplied to the air supply port. The air is sent from 108 to the outside air.
[0007]
The basic configuration of a large-sized negative ion generator used in a clean room or the like is exactly the same. In a small negative ion generator, a water splitting unit, a gas-liquid separation unit, and a water tank are assembled together, whereas in a large negative ion generator, a water injection tower that serves as a water splitting unit, A cyclone tower serving as a liquid separation unit is connected by a pipe, and a blower and a water jet tower are connected by a duct.
[0008]

[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
When the air volume is increased with the above configuration, the water level of the circulating water accumulated in the water splitting part rotates under the influence of the swirling flow of the air blown into the water injection tower, and its rotational motion In addition to causing vibration and undulation, this causes not only noise generation, but also the circulating water in the water splitting part is wound up by the swirling flow of air, and the rolled up water becomes large droplets of gas and liquid There is a possibility that the air is blown into the separation unit and blown out into the outside air from the air supply port without being subjected to the gas-liquid separation process.
[0010]
The water in the aquarium is pumped from the aquarium and supplied to the water splitting unit, where it comes into contact with the air sucked from the outside of the device and is returned to the water tank again for repeated use. Therefore, dust, bacteria, filamentous fungi, spores and the like contained in the air are taken into the circulating water in the water tank.
[0011]

[0026]
【Example】
(Example 1)
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. In FIG. 1, the negative ion generator is a combination of a water splitting unit 101, a blower 107, a gas-liquid separation unit 102, and a water tank 103.
[0027]
The water splitting unit 101 is a part that jets water pumped up from the water tank 103 and splits it into fine water droplets. In this embodiment, the water jet tower 1 includes a number of nozzles 105 that jet water. A water injection pipe 2 is provided, and the water injection pipe 2 is connected to the water tank 103 via a pump 104.
[0028]
That is, the water injection tower 1 forms the water splitting part 101 and is composed of an inner and outer double cylinder, the outer cylinder 3 is connected to the blower 107, and the inner cylinder 4 is connected to the cyclone tower 5. The blower 107 sucks outside air from the outside of the apparatus and blows it into the water jet tower 1 to form a swirling flow of air in the water jet tower 1 and blows it to the cyclone tower 5. The duct 6 connected to is communicated with the upper part of the outer cylinder 3 of the water jet tower 1.
[0029]
The cyclone tower 5 forms the gas-liquid separation unit 102, receives fine water droplets generated in the water splitting unit 101 together with the swirling flow of air, and performs gas-liquid separation by the centrifugal force action generated by the swirling of air, Air containing negative ions generated by the splitting of water droplets is discharged outside the apparatus.
[0030]
In this embodiment, the cyclone tower 5 and the inner cylinder 4 of the water jet tower 1 are connected by a duct 6. The inner cylinder 4 is piped up and down at the center part of the outer cylinder 3 of the water injection tower 1 and has a header 7 projecting in the circumferential direction. The water injection pipe 2 is erected upward to form a header 7 Are arranged concentrically, and a large number of nozzles 105 are installed toward the inner surface of the outer cylinder 3.
[0031]
In addition, the lower end opening position of the inner cylinder 4 is set to a height at which water droplets ejected from the nozzle 105 do not enter directly. The water tank 103 is a tank that is filled with water to be supplied to the water injection pipe 2. The water tank 103 is provided with an overflow port 8, and is constantly supplied with water from a water supply port (not shown) to maintain a constant water level. Yes. In the water tank 103, the excess water generated in the water injection tower 1 and the water separated in the cyclone tower 5 are recovered.
[0032]
The water tank 103 and the bottom of the cyclone tower 5 are connected by a drain 9, and the water tank 103 and the water injection tower 1 communicate with each other through a pipe 10. For this reason, the water filled in the water tank 103 circulates in the apparatus, and a part of the circulating water flows into the water jet tower 1 and is stored therein.
[0033]
As a result, the upper part of the water jet tower 1 becomes the upper air passage part 11 for allowing air to flow, and the lower fixed range is filled with the circulating water to become the water passage part 12, that is, the water splitting part 101 It is divided into a channel portion 11 and a water channel portion 12.
[0034]
In this embodiment, the air sucked from the outside of the apparatus by driving the blower 107 descends while swirling along the inner surface of the outer cylinder 3 of the water jet tower 1 from the suction port 13 of the water jet pipe 2. On the other hand, the water in the water tank 103 is pumped out by the pump 104, injected from each nozzle 105 of the water injection pipe 2, collides with the inner surface of the outer cylinder 3, breaks up into fine water droplets, and the outer cylinder of the water injection tower 1. It comes into contact with the air flow descending while turning inside, and negative ions are generated in the air. Most of the water droplets ejected from the nozzle 105 travel along the inner surface of the outer cylinder as they are, fall into the water channel portion 12, are returned to the water tank 103, and are circulated for use.
[0035]
The negative ions generated in the water splitting part 101 are put on a swirling flow of air together with fine water droplets, reversed at the water surface of the water channel part 12 and flowed into the inner cylinder 4 and further fed into the cyclone tower 5, where the cyclone tower The fine water droplets in the swirling air and the fine dust contained in the air are separated by the centrifugal force due to the centrifugal force effected while swirling while descending the inside of the water 5, and the water droplets together with the dust are the inner walls of the cyclone tower 5. Then, the clean air containing negative ions is reversed and raised and discharged from the air supply port 108 of the cyclone tower 5 to the outside of the apparatus.
[0036]
In this embodiment, a swirling flow of air that descends the air passage portion 11 and reversely rises into the inner cylinder 4 is blown to the water surface WL of the circulating water accumulated in the water passage portion 12. In the present invention, the squeezing means 14 is installed on the water surface WL of the circulating water on which the swirling flow of air acts to prevent the water surface WL of the water channel portion 12 from wavy due to the swirling flow of air.
[0037]
In FIG. 2, in this embodiment, a disc-shaped shielding plate 15 is used as the undulating pressing means 14, and the shielding plate 15 is floated on the water surface WL of the water channel portion 12 to substantially connect the air channel portion 11 and the water channel portion 12. Isolated. Although the shielding plate 15 is not only floated on the water surface WL, it is considered that it should be above the circulating water accumulated at the bottom of the water splitting portion 101 and substantially isolate the air passage portion 11 and the water passage portion 12 from each other. When the distance between the bottom of the inner cylinder 4 of the water injection tower 1 and the shielding plate 15 is shortened, the pressure loss of the air inside the water injection tower 1 increases correspondingly, and the air supply port 108 of the cyclone tower 5 increases. The amount of air blown out, that is, the air volume of the negative ion generator is reduced.
[0038]
On the contrary, if the distance between the opening edge of the inner cylinder 4 of the water injection tower 1 and the shielding plate 15 is increased, the height of the water injection tower 1 is increased correspondingly, and the apparatus is increased in size, which increases the cost. Furthermore, turbulent flow occurs between the bottom surface of the inner cylinder 4 of the water jet tower 1 and the shielding plate 15, and the pressure loss inside the water splitting portion 101 is increased. For this reason, the distance between the lower end of the inner cylinder 4 of the water jet tower 1 and the shielding plate 15, that is, the distance between the water level WL of the circulating water accumulated in the lower part of the water jet tower 1 and the inner cylinder 4 of the water jet tower 1. Is preferably about 100 to 150 mm when the internal pressure of the water jet tower 1 is 0.005 kgf / cm 2 .
[0039]
The shielding plate 15 desirably covers the surface of the circulating water accumulated in the water channel portion 12 as much as possible in order to reduce the influence of the air swirling flow of the air channel portion 11 on the water channel portion 12. When the circulation of the circulating water between the water channel portions 12 is hindered, the circulating water jetted from the nozzle 105 cannot be received by the water channel portion 12 and guided to the water tank 103. For this reason, it is necessary to ensure a gap between the shielding plate 15 and the inner surface of the outer cylinder 3 of the water jet tower 1 so that the circulation of the circulating water is not hindered.
[0040]
The circulating water jetted from the nozzle 105 passes through this gap, is guided to the water channel section 12, and is returned to the water tank 103. With this configuration, in this embodiment, the swirling flow of the air blown from the blower 107 into the water splitting unit 101 descends in the outer cylinder 3 and collides with the shielding plate 15 and rises in the reverse direction. , The influence on the circulating water is blocked by the shielding plate 15, and the water surface WL of the circulating water does not ripple, so that water droplets do not scatter.
[0041]
As described above, in the embodiment, a disk-shaped plate is used as the shielding plate 15. Alternatively, the shielding plate 15a may have a conical shape with the center of the disk protruding as shown in FIG. If a conical disk is used for the undulating pressing means 14, the circulating water dropped from the nozzle 105 can be guided to the water channel portion 12 by being guided by the conical slope 16.
[0042]
Or conversely, as shown in FIG. 4, the same effect can be obtained by using a shielding plate 15 b having a conical shape with a depressed center and having a hole 17 at the center.
[0043]
In the above-described embodiment, the air channel portion 11 partitioned in the water injection tower 1 which is the water splitting portion 101 and the water channel portion 12 are separated by the undulating pressing means 14, thereby circulating water in the water channel portion 12. Although it is an example which prevents the ripple of the water surface WL, in order to prevent the ripple of the water surface WL of the water channel part 12, it is not necessary to isolate the air channel part 11 from the water channel part 12, and the swirling flow of air is the water channel part. Even if it acts on the twelve water surfaces WL, if the rotational motion of the water surface WL can be substantially suppressed, the water surface can be prevented from being rippled and vibrations can be eliminated.
[0044]
(Example 2)
FIG. 5 shows an example in which the anti-rotation plate 18 is used for the wavy presser means 14. As shown in FIG. 5 (b), the anti-swivel plate 18 is a combination of radial plates (crosses) in a posture in which the flat plate 19 stands vertically. As shown in FIG. 5A, the swirl prevention plate 18 is inserted into the circulating water of the water channel portion 12 of the water jet tower 1, and the upper part of each flat plate 19 is protruded from the water surface WL of the circulating water to the air channel portion 11 and fixed. When fixed and held at the position, the swirl prevention plate 18 is disposed at a position passing through the center of the water jet tower 1 and in contact with the inner surface of the outer cylinder 3, and the water level WL of the circulating water in the water channel 12 is the air channel. 11, but even if the swirling flow of the air flowing in the air passage portion 11 acts on the water surface WL of the water passage portion 12, the plate surface of the flat plate 19 becomes a weir to prevent the rotational movement of the water surface WL, Therefore, no undulations occur and no vibration noise is generated.
[0045]
In this embodiment, the anti-rotation plate 18 is a combination of cross plates, but may be a flat plate or a combination of a plurality of plates.
[0046]
(Example 3)
FIGS. 6A and 6B are examples in which a shielding / turning prevention plate 20 in which a shielding plate 15 is further attached to the upper end of the turning prevention plate 18 is used as the undulation pressing means. According to this example, the air passage portion 11 and the water passage portion 12 are isolated by the shielding plate 15, and further, the rotational movement of the circulating water accumulated in the water passage portion 12 is suppressed by the anti-rotation plate 18, Even if the water surface of the circulating water in the water channel portion 12 is exposed to the swirl prevention plate 18 and the water droplets are scattered, the amount of water droplets hits the back surface of the shielding plate 15 and greatly jumps out to the air channel portion 11 again. Therefore, it is possible to more completely suppress the ripple of the water surface WL.
[0047]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, in order to suppress the ripple of water in the water channel portion that is stored in the bottom of the water splitting portion through the water tank, and prevents the splashing of water droplets from the water surface, the gas-liquid separation unit is used. As a result, it is possible to suppress scattering of large water droplets to the outside of the device, and to suppress the occurrence of vibration or noise of the entire apparatus due to the rotational motion and undulation of the water surface.
