Description

  The present invention relates to a clothes storage with an electrostatic atomizer that can suppress deodorization and mold generation in the clothes storage.

  In a conventional clothing storage such as a closet, for example, when clothing with odors of cigarettes used for commuting or attending school or ammonia odor due to sweat is stored in the clothing storage, There arises a problem that the odor is transferred to the clothes stored in the clothes, or the odor is trapped in the clothes storage.

  Further, as shown in Patent Document 1, a clothing storage that performs deodorization in a clothing storage is also known, which circulates air in the clothing storage through a deodorizing filter such as a titanium oxide catalyst, thereby storing the clothing. Prevents odors from getting inside the cabinet. However, in the conventional example shown in Patent Document 1, the air in the clothing storage is passed through the deodorizing filter to deodorize the clothing storage, so that the fiber of the clothing and the details in the clothing storage are The odor adhering to the surface could not be directly deodorized, and the deodorizing effect was low. Moreover, since this thing deodorizes by circulating the air in a clothes storage through a deodorizing filter, there also exists a problem that an odor moves to the other clothing from the clothing to which the odor adhered with the circulation of air. Also, since the clothes used may be exposed to rain, sweat, etc., when such clothes are stored in the clothes storage, the inside of the clothes storage becomes highly humid. Mold and fungi may be generated, and it is not hygienic.

In addition, an air purifier that cleans indoor air is provided with an electrostatic atomizer that atomizes water to generate nanometer-sized charged fine particle water, and the diffusibility generated by the electrostatic atomizer is highly deodorized and Although it is known to deodorize and disinfect rooms by spraying nanometer-sized charged fine particle water that can be sterilized indoors, there is no conventional clothing storage with an electrostatic atomizer. It was.

  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described based on embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. A clothes storage 1 with an electrostatic atomizer according to this embodiment shown in FIG. 1 includes a clothes storage 2 in which a space 4 in which clothes 8 such as suits, coats, pants, and skirts can be stored is formed. The electrostatic atomizer 3 that atomizes the water W to generate nanometer-sized charged fine particle water (mist M) in the storage 2 is discharged into the space 4 in the clothing storage 2. It is provided to be. The illustrated clothing storage 2 is a wall-embedded closet in which an opening 5 is formed on the wall surface of the room.

The clothes 8 can be taken in and out of the space 5 in the clothes storage 2 from the section 5 (the space in the storage body 6). 1 is a drawer provided on the upper surface of the bottom wall 2e of the clothing storage 2.

  The storage body 6 of the clothing storage case 2 is provided with a partitioning portion 12, and the partitioning portion 12 allows a space 4 in the clothing storage case 2 to be described later with a clothing deodorizing space 9 when viewed from the opening 5 side. It is partitioned into a clothing storage space 10 having a larger volume than the clothing deodorizing space 9 constituted by both the clothing storage spaces 10a, 10b. The partition portion 12 in the illustrated example includes substantially plate-like partition members 12a and 12b disposed between the side wall portions 2a and 2b in the clothing storage case 2 (intermediate portion in the left and right direction) with a space in the left and right direction. In other words, in this example, the partition member 12a, 12b allows the space 4 in the clothing storage case 2 to be the same side wall as the one side wall portion 2a of the side wall portions 2a, 2b of the clothing storage case 2 (storage main body 6).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the partition members 12 a and 12 b are fixed to the rear portion of the storage body 6 with a space in the left-right direction, and the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10 a (or the space between the doors 7). 10b) and two parallel fixed partition plates 14 forming an opening 13 communicating with each other, and a movable partition plate storage portion 14a formed between the two fixed partition plates 14 so as to be freely inserted and removed in the front-rear direction. It is comprised with the movable partition plate 15 which can obstruct | occlude openably and closably 13, and by opening and closing the opening 13 with the movable partition plate 15, it is determined whether it partitions between the clothing deodorizing space 9 and each clothing storage space 10a, 10b. It can be changed. Here, when the inside of the clothing storage case 2 is divided into the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10 by the partition portion 12, the partition members 12a and 12b are arranged in the front-rear direction in the clothing storage case 2, as shown in FIG. In this case, the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage spaces 10a and 10b are substantially completely independent spaces. Note that the configuration of the opening that allows the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10 to communicate with each other and the partition members 12a and 12b that close the opening so as to be freely opened and closed are not limited to the above. For example, the partition members 12a and 12b May be configured by a single partition plate detachably attached to the storage body 6.

  All of the partition members 12a and 12b formed of the fixed partition plate 14 and the movable partition plate 15 are formed of wood as an antistatic material, and all of the inner surface of the clothing storage case 2 (that is, clothing storage). Both side wall portions 2a, 2b, back wall portion 2c, top wall portion 2d, bottom wall portion 2e, door 7) and drawer 27 of the cabinet 2 and the drawer 27 are also formed of wood as an antistatic material. That is, the part which surrounds the clothing deodorizing space 9 in the clothing storage 2 to form the deodorizing space 9 is used as the deodorizing unit 16, and the part which surrounds the clothing storage space 10 and forms the clothing storing space 10 is used as the clothing storage unit. 17, the inner surface portion of the deodorizing portion 16 and the inner surface portion of the clothing storage portion 17 are all made of wood that is an antistatic material. In this example, the partition members 12a and 12b are all made of wood as an antistatic material. However, at least the surface portion on the clothing deodorizing space 9 side of the partition members 12a and 12b is made of an antistatic material. It ’s fine.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the clothes deodorizing space 9 and the clothes storage space 10 (both clothes storage spaces 10 a and 10 b) formed by the partition portion 12 can be stored with the clothes 8 using the hangers 18. As shown, a hanger pole 19 is installed.

  Of the garment deodorizing space 9 and the garment storage space 10, only the garment deodorizing space 9 is provided with an electrostatic atomizing unit 20 including an electrostatic atomizer 3 as shown in FIG. When the inside of the clothing storage 2 is partitioned into the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10 by the partitioning portion 12, the charged particulate water generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3 is directly discharged into the clothing deodorizing space 9. The clothing storage space 10 is a space from which the charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3 is not released.

  The electrostatic atomizing unit 20 is disposed at the lower end of the clothing deodorizing space 9 so as to be positioned below the hanger pole 19 disposed in the clothing deodorizing space 9, and the outer shell of the electrostatic atomizing unit 20 is It is comprised by the case 21 provided in the bottom face part of the deodorizing part 16. FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, an air flow path 24 is formed inside the case 21 with one end serving as an air suction port 22 and the other end serving as an air discharge port 23, and the air suction port 22 and the air discharge port 23 correspond to the case 21. The upper surface of the upper surface of the upper surface is opened upward from a position in the front-rear direction. A fan 25 (in this example, a sirocco fan) is provided in the air flow path 24 as a blowing means. When the fan 25 is operated in a state where the interior of the clothing storage case 2 is partitioned by the partition portion 12, FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the air in the clothing deodorizing space 9 outside the case 21 flows into the air flow path 24 from the air suction port 22, and this air enters the clothing storage space 4 outside the case 21 from the air discharge port 23. As a result, air in the clothing deodorizing space 9 circulates through the air flow path 24.

  The air suction port 22 formed at the upstream end of the air flow path 24 is provided with a filter portion 26, and the filter portion 26 has a fine mesh and a dust collection filter 26a that captures dust, dust and fine particles. The deodorizing filter 26b is disposed downstream of the dust collection filter 26a and includes activated carbon or an oxidation catalyst to decompose and remove odor components.

  Further, the electrostatic atomizer 3 provided with a charged fine particle water generation unit 32 described later is provided downstream of the filter unit 26 and the fan 25 in the air flow channel 24, that is, the air flow channel 24 is provided from the upstream side. The dust collection filter 26a, the deodorizing filter 26b, the fan 25, and the electrostatic atomizer 3 are arranged in order toward the downstream side.

  Thus, the air flowing into the air flow path 24 from the air suction port 22 by the operation of the fan 25 passes through the filter unit 26, and dust and the like contained in the air are captured by the dust collection filter 26a and deodorized. Odor components contained in the air are removed by the filter 26b, and then discharged to the outside of the case 21.

  The electrostatic atomizer 3 arranged in the clothes deodorizing space 9 includes a water particle emitting unit 30 and a counter electrode 31 that function as a pair of electrodes, and water for supplying water W to the water particle emitting unit 30. A supply means and a voltage application unit 36 for applying a high voltage between the water particle discharge unit 30 and the counter electrode 31 are provided. The water particle discharge unit 30 and the counter electrode constituting the charged fine particle water generation unit 32 are provided. By applying a high voltage between them, the charged fine particle water of nanometer size is generated from the water W of the water particle discharge part 30.

  An example of the electrostatic atomizer 3 is shown in FIG. The electrostatic atomizer 3 in the illustrated example includes a liquid reservoir 33 for storing water W, a rod-shaped transport unit 34 made of a porous material whose lower end is immersed in water contained in the liquid reservoir 33, and these A liquid application electrode 35 for holding the transport unit 34 and applying a voltage to the water W, a counter electrode 31 facing the water particle discharge unit 30 at the tip of the transport unit 34, and the liquid application electrode 35 and the counter electrode And a voltage application unit 36 for applying a high voltage between them.

  Both the counter electrode 31 and the liquid application electrode 35 are formed of a synthetic resin mixed with a conductive material such as carbon or a metal such as SUS.

  The conveying part 34 is formed of a porous material in a rod shape. In this embodiment, the conveying part 34 is made of ceramic particles having a particle diameter of 2 to 500 μm, and the pores in the gaps are arranged in an open cell shape with 1 to 250 μm. Is formed. The upper end of the transport unit 34 is a water particle discharge unit 30 that is pointed like a needle. The upper part of the transport unit 34 projects upward from the liquid application electrode 35, and the lower part projects downward from the liquid application electrode 35. In this example, the water supply means is composed of a transport section 34 and a liquid reservoir section 33.

  The counter electrode 31 is grounded, and a voltage application unit 36 is connected to the liquid application electrode 35 to apply a high voltage, and the transport unit 34 formed of a porous material is put into the liquid storage unit 33 by a capillary phenomenon. When the water W is sucked up, the water particle discharge part 30 at the upper end of the transport part 34 functions as a substantial electrode on the liquid application electrode 35 side. The voltage application unit 36 is preferably one that can give an electric field strength of 500 V / mm or more, particularly 700 to 1200 V / mm.

  Then, by applying a high voltage between the transport unit 34 and the counter electrode 31 by the voltage application unit 36, the water W of the water particle discharge unit 30 receives a large amount of energy due to the high voltage and splits beyond the surface tension. Electrostatic atomization that causes so-called Rayleigh splitting to generate mists of ions having a particle size of nanometer size (for example, 10 to 30 nanometers) is performed. , Substances that become the source of deodorization and sterilization such as superoxide) are contained in the split water and jump out into the air. In this way, nanometer-sized charged fine particle water containing active species is generated from the water particle emitting portion 30. Since active species are very reactive, they are highly effective in decomposing malodorous components and suppressing the generation of mold and the like. The following shows the deodorization reaction formula of the odor and the active species contained in the nanometer-size charged fine particle water.

Ammonia 2NH ₃ +6 ・ OH → N ₂ + 6H ₂ O
Acetaldehyde CH ₃ CHO + 6 ・ OH + O ₂ → 2CO ₂ + 5H ₂ O
Acetic acid CH ₃ COOH + 4 ・ OH + O ₂ → 2CO ₂ + 4H ₂ O
Methane gas CH ₄ +4 ・ OH → CO ₂ + 4H ₂ O
Carbon monoxide CO + 2 ・ OH → CO ₂ + H ₂ O
Nitric oxide 2NO + 4 ・ OH → N ₂ + 2O ₂ + 2H ₂ O
Formaldehyde HCHO + 4 ・ OH → CO ₂ + 3H ₂ O
In the above deodorization reaction formula, .OH represents a hydroxy radical.

  And in the state which divided | segmented the clothes storage 2 by the partition part 12, a high voltage is applied to the counter electrode 31 and the liquid application electrode 35 of the said electrostatic atomizer 3, and the electrostatic atomizer 3 is drive | operated simultaneously. When the fan 25 is operated, the charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3 is released to the air flowing downstream from the filter unit 26 and the fan 25 in the air flow path 24 and rides on this air. The air is discharged from the air discharge port 23 to the clothing deodorizing space 9 outside the case 21. Thereby, the air in the clothing deodorizing space 9 is deodorized by the active species of the charged fine particle water, and the charged fine particle water sent to the clothing deodorizing space 9 is the surface of the clothing 8 in the clothing deodorizing space 9. And the odor adhering to the inside of the garment deodorizing space 9, the inside of the garment deodorizing space 9, and the inside of the odor eliminating portion 16 is removed by the active species possessed by the charged fine particle water. At the same time, the occurrence of mold, fungi and the like in the clothing storage 2 is suppressed.

  Here, the active species is highly reactive and therefore has a short life when present alone. However, in the nanometer-size charged fine particle water obtained by the electrostatic atomizer 3, the active species is wrapped in water molecules. Since it is rarely present, it has a long life, and since this charged fine particle water is very small and has a nanometer size and floats in the air for a long time and has high diffusibility, the charged fine particle water containing active species is used as a clothing deodorizing space 9. The charged fine particle water containing the active species can reach the inside of the garment 8 and the inside of the pores of the inner surface of the odor eliminating portion 16. 9 can effectively deodorize the inner surface of the air 8, the clothing 8 in the clothing deodorizing space, and the deodorizing part 16, and enhance the effect of suppressing the sterilization and propagation of mold and fungi in the deodorizing part 16. Can .

  Further, in the present embodiment, the partition 4 can partition the space 4 in the clothing storage 2 into independent spaces of the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10, and charging generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3. Since the particulate water is discharged into the clothing deodorizing space 9, when the interior of the clothing storage 2 is partitioned by the partitioning portion 12, the concentration of the charged particulate water in the clothing deodorizing space 9 can be reduced in a short time. The garment deodorizing space 9 can be used as a dedicated space for deodorizing the scented garment 8. For example, the scented garment 8 is stored in the garment deodorizing space 9, The clothes 8 deodorized in the odor space 9 can be used such as storing the clothes 8 to which the odor is not attached in the clothes storage space 10, whereby the odor stored in the clothes deodorization space 9 is attached. It is possible to prevent the odor moves from the garment 8 in addition to the garment 8 housed in clothes storage space 10. Furthermore, since the air does not flow from the clothing deodorizing space 9 to the clothing storage space 10 even when the fan 25 is operated, the clothing 8 with a smell in the clothing deodorizing space 9 by the air flow that circulates the charged fine particle water. It is also possible to prevent smell from being transferred to other clothing in the clothing storage space 10.

  Moreover, since the said partition part 12 is formed of the antistatic material, when the space 4 in the clothing storage case 2 is partitioned by the partition members 10a and 10b, the charge generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3 is reduced. The charged fine particle water is prevented from being attracted electrically to the partition 12 before reaching the details in the clothes 8 and the clothes storage 2 at a position away from the electrostatic atomizer 3. The charged fine particle water can be efficiently distributed to the details in the clothes storage 2.

  Moreover, since the said partition part 12 obstruct | occludes the opening 13 which connects the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10 so that opening and closing is possible, the user has partitioned the inside of the clothes storage 2 with the said partition part 12. In addition, it is also possible to open the opening 13 that allows the clothing deodorizing space 9 and the clothing storage space 10 to communicate with each other so that the interior of the clothing storage case 2 is not partitioned. In this case, when the electrostatic atomizer 3 is operated and the fan 25 is operated in the same manner as described above, the air with the charged fine particle water in the air flow path 24 circulates throughout the clothing storage case 2. The charged fine particle water can be filled in the entire space in the clothes storage 2, the entire inner surface of the clothes storage 2, the air in the entire clothes storage 2 and the clothes 8 can be deodorized, and the clothes Generation | occurrence | production of the mold | fungi and bacteria of the whole storage 2 can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the filter part 26 and the electrostatic atomizer 3 are arrange | positioned in order from the upstream in the air flow path 24, the charged fine particle water produced | generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3 is more than the filter part 26. Dust collection and deodorizing air that flows downstream will be released to the air that has been deodorized, and before the active species reach the inner surface of the clothing storage 2 away from the intended clothing 8 or electrostatic atomizer 3, It is possible to suppress disappearance by hitting the odor component, and the deodorizing effect and the effect of suppressing the generation of mold and the like are further increased.

  The electrostatic atomizer 3 and the fan 25 can be switched between operation and stop, for example, when the door 7 is closed, the electrostatic atomizer 3 and the fan 25 are simultaneously operated and the door 7 is opened. Examples include those that are controlled so that the operation is sometimes stopped simultaneously, and those that are switched between operation and stop of the electrostatic atomizer 3 and the fan 25 by a user's switch operation.

  Next, another example of the electrostatic atomizer 3 is shown in FIG. 6. In the following description, the same components as those of the electrostatic atomizer 3 in FIG. Description of is omitted.

  The electrostatic atomizer 3 in FIG. 6 is provided with a dew condensation water generating device 40 including a Peltier unit 41 having a heat radiating unit 42 and a cooling unit 43 as water supply means, and cooling the dew condensation water generating device 40. By cooling the portion 43, water in the air in the clothes deodorizing space 9 or the entire clothing storage 2 is condensed to generate water W supplied to the water particle discharge portion. The Peltier unit 41 has a pair of Peltier circuit boards P (P1, P2) in which a circuit is formed on one side of an insulating plate Z made of alumina or aluminum nitride having high thermal conductivity so that the circuit sides face each other. The thermoelectric elements N that are arranged opposite each other are sandwiched between the two Peltier circuit boards P1 and P2, and the adjacent thermoelectric elements N are electrically connected by the circuits on both sides, via the Peltier input lead L The Peltier unit power supply 44 is provided so that heat is transferred from one Peltier circuit board P1 side to the other Peltier circuit board P2 side by energizing the thermoelectric element N. The circuit board P1 is connected to the cooling part 43 side, and the other Peltier circuit board P2 is connected to the heat dissipation part 42 side. In this example, as shown in FIG. 6, the insulating plate Z provided with the Peltier circuit board P2 is connected to the heat radiating fin as the heat radiating part 42, and the insulating plate Z provided with the Peltier circuit board P1 is connected to the cooling part 43 described later. To connect.

  The cooling unit 43 of the dew condensation water generating device 40 is formed in a substantially dish shape so as to form a liquid reservoir 33 for storing dew condensation water therein, and liquid is applied to the inner upper surface of the cooling unit 43. An electrode 35 is provided.

  The liquid application electrode 35 has an upper end portion that becomes the water particle discharge portion 30, and is formed of a porous material or has a fine hole or a fine groove (the fine hole 40 in the example of FIG. 6). The dew condensation water stored in the cooling unit 43 is transferred to the water particle discharge unit 30 at the upper end portion serving as a discharge unit by a capillary phenomenon. Further, the water particle discharge part 30 is formed of a metal or a metal surface film so that the surface has high thermal conductivity and is attached so as to be thermally connected to the cooling part 43. Condensed water may be condensed directly on the surface of the particle emitting unit 30. Alternatively, the liquid application electrode 35 may be provided on the transport part 34 made of porous ceramic or the like whose upper end part becomes the water particle discharge part 30.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the cooling portion 43 is provided with an overflow hole O, and when the condensed water accumulated in the cooling portion 43 reaches a certain level or more, excess water is passed through the overflow hole O. The water can be discharged to the water storage tank T. Here, the generation of the dew condensation water by the dew condensation water generator 40 is performed simultaneously with the generation of the charged fine particle water by the electrostatic atomizer 3.

Of course, the air suction port 22 and the air discharge port 23 are directed upward from the upper surface of the case 21 in the same manner as the electrostatic atomizing unit 20 of FIG. It may be provided so as to open.

  In any of the examples of the electrostatic atomizer 3 shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the water supply means of the electrostatic atomizer 3 is the condensed water generator 40. Is partitioned by the partition portion 10, moisture in the air in the space 4 in the clothing deodorizing space 9 can be condensed, and the space 4 in the clothing storage case 2 is not partitioned by the partition portion 10. In this case, moisture in the air in the entire clothing storage 2 can be condensed, thereby automatically generating water W used to generate charged fine particle water of the electrostatic atomizer 3, and the user However, the trouble of replenishing the water W used by the electrostatic atomizer 3 can be saved. Moreover, since the dew condensation water production | generation apparatus 40 is arrange | positioned downstream from the filter part 26 in the air flow path 24 as the electrostatic atomizer 3 is shown in FIG.5, FIG.7, FIG.8, the dew condensation water production | generation apparatus 40 is. It is possible to prevent the dust, dust, and suspended particulates in the air flowing through the cooling unit 43 from being removed in advance and deposited on the cooling unit 43 of the condensed water generating device 40, and further, the cooling unit 43 of the condensed water generating device 40. It is possible to remove the odor component contained in the air flowing in advance in advance, and to prevent the odor component from being dissolved in the dew condensation water generated by the dew condensation water generator 40.

  Further, in the electrostatic atomizer 3 in which the water supply means is configured by the condensed water generating device 40 as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, when the condensed water is generated, the voltage application unit 36 causes the water particle discharge unit 30 to be generated. In addition, a high voltage is applied between the counter electrode 31 and the thermoelectric element N is energized by the Peltier unit power supply 45 to generate charged particulate water by the electrostatic atomizer 3 and condensed water by the condensed water generator 40. May be generated at the same time, and more condensed water may be generated than the amount of water used for generating the charged fine particle water of the electrostatic atomizer 3 at this time. Thereby, when the inside of the clothes storage 2 is partitioned by the partitioning part 12, it is possible to dehumidify the air in the clothes deodorizing space 9, and when not partitioned, the entire air in the clothes storage 2 can be dehumidified. Become.

  Here, a water replenishment mode (that is, a dew condensation water generating device) that replenishes water by generating only the amount of dew condensation water used in the generation of charged fine particle water with a small energization amount from the Peltier unit power source 45 to the thermoelectric element N. The energization amount is controlled so that the amount of condensed water generated at 40 per unit time is equal to or substantially equal to the amount of charged fine particle water generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3 per unit time. Water replenishment mode) and a dehumidification mode in which the amount of power supplied from the Peltier unit power source 42 to the thermoelectric element N is large (that is, the amount of condensed water generated per unit time generated by the condensed water generating device 40 is an electrostatic atomizer. The dehumidifying mode in which the energization amount is controlled so as to be larger than the generation amount per unit time of the charged fine particle water generated in step 3 may be provided so that both modes can be switched.

  When operating in the water replenishment mode, condensed water is generated, and this is used as nanometer-sized charged fine particle water. When the inside of the clothes storage 2 is partitioned by the partitioning section 12, the clothes deodorizing space 9 is not partitioned. In this case, the humidity in the clothes deodorizing space 9 or the entire clothes storage 2 is hardly changed. However, when the dehumidifying mode is set, the dew condensation water generating device 40 generates the moisture. The amount of condensed water generated per unit time is larger than the amount of charged fine particle water generated per unit time generated by the electrostatic atomizer 3, and the entire interior of the clothing deodorizing space 9 or the clothing storage 2 is It can dehumidify, and it can suppress further that mold | fungi etc. generate | occur | produce in the clothing deodorizing space 9 or the clothing storage 2 whole.

  The dehumidifying mode includes a case where a high voltage is applied from the voltage applying unit 36 between the water particle emitting unit 30 and the counter electrode 31 and a case where the high voltage is not applied. In the former case, the nanometer-sized charged fine particle water is used. Is generated and released into the entire clothing deodorizing space 9 or the clothing storage 2 and dehumidification of the clothing deodorizing space 9 or the entire clothing storage 2 is performed at the same time. 9 or only the entire interior of the clothes storage 2 is dehumidified, and can be switched and operated according to the purpose.
