Description

  The present invention relates to a tray for a dehumidifier that is used in a storage space such as a closet, a chiffon box, a clog box, and other storage spaces by absorbing moisture in the air with a deliquescent dehumidifying agent to lower the humidity of the space and keeping the humidity low.

  The dehumidifier stores the upper space in which the granular deliquescent dehumidifying agent is stored and the deliquescent liquid in the container by placing a receiving tray having a large number of dropping holes in the middle and high parts of the container having the upper surface opening. It is divided into a lower space. The upper surface opening of the container is closed with a moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet, and a sealing sheet (moisture-proof sheet) is detachably attached to the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet (for example, a patent) Reference 1).

And the saucer contained in the container of the dehumidifier comprised in this way is integrally formed by injection molding using synthetic resin materials, such as polyethylene and a polypropylene, for example. An example is shown in FIGS.
As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the saucer body A is formed in a planar view shape having a peripheral edge 1 along the transverse inner peripheral surface shape in the middle and high part of the container B. Then, as shown in FIG. 1, the tray body A has a flat first support surface portion 2 along the peripheral edge portion 1, and a second step provided in a stepped shape inside the first support surface portion 2. The supporting surface portion 3 and a projecting portion 4 projecting in a substantially truncated cone shape at a height lower than the opening position of the upper opening portion b of the container B at the inner central portion, are dropped on these portions. A number of holes 5 are provided.

Japanese Patent No. 3290106 (see paragraph number 0016 and FIGS. 1 and 6)

  By the way, in the tray main body A, the deliquescent liquid of the deliquescent dehumidifying agent C accommodated in the upper space N of the container B is quickly dropped on the lower space M side of the container B without staying on the tray main body A. As shown in FIG. 2, the first support surface portion 2, the second support surface portion 3, and the protrusion portion 4 that are higher as they reach the central portion from the peripheral edge portion 1 along the inner peripheral surface of the container B are viewed in a longitudinal sectional view. It is formed in a substantially chevron shape, thereby increasing the number of openings of the dropping holes 5. That is, a device has been devised such as ensuring the opening area of the dropping hole 5 as much as possible.

And when the substantially chevron-shaped saucer main body A is formed by injection molding in this way, the gate gate is the protruding end of the protruding portion 4 due to the flowability of molten metal (resin solution) and the mold release from the mold. It is designed to be filled with (pour) hot water into the mold as part 4a.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the gate gate mark remains as a substantially conical protrusion 6 on the protruding end 4 a after being removed from the mold, and the protrusion 6 has the container B on the protrusion 6. There is a risk that the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet 7 that closes the upper opening b may be touched and damaged or torn.
Therefore, conventionally, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the sheet contact prevention wall 8 is provided around the protrusion 4a so as to be higher than the protrusion 6 and surround the protrusion 6, thereby preventing moisture permeation. The water permeable sheet 7 is prevented from touching the protrusions 6. That is, by providing the sheet contact prevention wall 8, the protruding end 4a has a substantially caldera shape.

However, while the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet could be prevented from coming into contact with the protrusions, as shown in FIG. 2, a granular deliquescent dehumidifying agent was placed on the caldera-shaped protruding end, It has become a factor that causes new problems such as contact of the moisture dehumidifying agent with the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet, and improvement thereof has been desired.
Incidentally, when the deliquescent dehumidifying agent is placed on the tip, the particle size of the deliquescent dehumidifying agent having the property of expanding when absorbing (absorbing) moisture gradually increases, and the moisture permeation non-removal shown in FIG. The space that exists slightly between the water-permeable sheet is filled and the water-permeable sheet is touched. In addition, deliquescent dehumidifiers may be spherical or irregular, and if deliquescent dehumidifying agents with corners are placed on the tip, they may touch the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet and cause damage. There is.

  Therefore, the present invention has been developed to solve the above-described problems, and has a structure including a contact prevention wall that prevents the moisture-permeable sheet from touching the protrusions remaining on the protruding end portion, while having a substantially caldera shape. An object of the present invention is to provide a tray for a dehumidifier that is improved so as to slide down without the deliquescent dehumidifying agent remaining on the tip.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention is, is inherent in a container having an upper opening which is at least closed by moisture permeation impermeable sheet, dehumidification dexterity partitioning within said vessel into an upper space and a lower space a pan, pan body has a support surface for receiving the granular deliquescent dehumidifying agent peripheral edge is received in the locked upper space on the inner peripheral surface of the container, as appropriate from the previous SL support surface and a projecting portion which is projected in a substantially truncated cone shape of the height, around the projecting end of the projecting portion sheet contact preventing wall for preventing the contact with the moisture permeable water-impermeable sheet projecting end Is provided, and the projecting portion includes a falling slope for dropping the deliquescent dehumidifying agent from the projecting end of the projecting portion .
Here, the falling slope is preferably wider than the particle size of the deliquescent dehumidifying agent and formed in an outwardly inclined shape from the protruding end portion toward the protruding outside of the protruding portion. .

  Since the tray for the dehumidifier of the present invention is configured as described above, the deliquescent dehumidifying agent does not stay on the caldera-like protruding end portion and slides down from the falling slope. This prevents the deliquescent dehumidifying agent from coming into contact with the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet due to staying at the tip, thereby solving the problem.

  Moreover, the contact of the moisture-permeable and water-impermeable sheet to the protrusions can be prevented by the sheet contact prevention wall left between the falling slopes.
