When the operation switch of the operation unit 43 is turned on, the heater 22 is turned on by the heater control means 44 and the water stored in the water storage chamber 8 is controlled to be heated, and the drive motor 13 is driven by the motor control means 45 and the nanomist. And the mist driving | operation which generate | occur | produces and discharge | releases a negative ion from the blower outlet 28 is performed.

前記ミスト運転中は駆動モータ１３の駆動により駆動軸１８に同軸で固定された送風機４および回転体１７が回転駆動され、送風機４の回転では、吸引口３から吸引される室内空気を案内筒５へ案内して吸引した後、処理室７下方に放出する。 During the mist operation, the blower 4 and the rotating body 17 that are coaxially fixed to the drive shaft 18 are driven to rotate by the drive motor 13, and in the rotation of the blower 4, the indoor air sucked from the suction port 3 is guided to the guide tube 5. After being guided and sucked, it is discharged below the processing chamber 7.

一方、回転体１７の回転では、加熱された貯水室８内の貯水が、回転体１７下端の回転により汲み上げられ、遠心力で回転体１７の外壁および内壁を伝って押し上げられて上昇し、回転体１７の外壁を伝わせて押し上げた貯水を外方に飛散されると共に、回転体１７の内壁を伝わせて押し上げた貯水を回転体１７の上端に形成された複数の飛散口１９から外方に飛散され、そして周囲に飛散された貯水は、回転体１７の上部外周に所定間隔を保持して位置し、回転体１７と共に回転する多孔体２０の多孔部２１に、ぶつかって破砕したり、多孔部２１を通過したものはこの外周の送風筒６の内壁に衝突して微細化される。 On the other hand, in the rotation of the rotating body 17, the water stored in the heated water storage chamber 8 is pumped up by the rotation of the lower end of the rotating body 17, and is pushed up by the centrifugal force along the outer wall and the inner wall of the rotating body 17. The stored water pushed up along the outer wall of the body 17 is splashed outward, and the pushed-up water stored along the inner wall of the rotating body 17 is discharged outward from a plurality of splashing ports 19 formed at the upper end of the rotating body 17. The water stored in and scattered around is located on the outer periphery of the upper part of the rotating body 17 at a predetermined interval and collides with the porous part 21 of the porous body 20 that rotates together with the rotating body 17 and is crushed. What has passed through the porous portion 21 collides with the inner wall of the blower cylinder 6 on the outer periphery and is refined.

この時、回転体１７の回転によって円形で抵抗がない貯水室８内の貯水が、回転体１７と同方向に回転する水流を形成しようとするが、水流阻止手段２４の支持片２６が水面に没して抵抗となり、回転する水流の形成が阻止されるので、遠心力が十分に作用して貯水が回転体１７の周壁上を押し上げられて、上記したように良好に破砕されるものである。 At this time, the water stored in the water storage chamber 8 which is circular and has no resistance due to the rotation of the rotating body 17 tries to form a water flow rotating in the same direction as the rotating body 17, but the support piece 26 of the water flow blocking means 24 is on the water surface. Since it sinks and becomes a resistance and the formation of a rotating water flow is prevented, the centrifugal force acts sufficiently and the stored water is pushed up on the peripheral wall of the rotating body 17 and is crushed well as described above. .

そして、この加熱された貯水の破砕と微細化によりナノミストを生成すると共に、レナード効果で負イオンを発生させ、発生したナノミストと負イオンを上記した送風機４の処理室７下方へ向かう送風で一旦水流阻止手段２４にぶつけて、大きくて重いミストを水流阻止手段２４に落下させて除去した後、微細なナノミストのみと負イオンを流通路２７を介して上部の吹出口２８から風向板４０で設定された吹き出し方向へ放出するものである。 And while producing | generating nanomist by the crushing and refinement | miniaturization of this heated storage water, a negative ion is generated by the Leonard effect, and the generated nanomist and a negative ion are once flowed by the ventilation | gas_flowing which goes below the process chamber 7 of the air blower 4 mentioned above. After hitting against the blocking means 24 and dropping the large and heavy mist onto the water flow blocking means 24 and removing it, only fine nano mist and negative ions are set by the wind direction plate 40 from the upper outlet 28 via the flow passage 27. It discharges in the direction of the blowout.

ここで、吹出口２８の近くに顔を近づけた状態でナノミスト及び負イオンを上記のミスト運転中の制御を詳細に説明すると、前記ミスト運転の際、設定手段４６は皮膚温センサ４１で検出された皮膚温度に基づいて、吹出口２８から放出されるナノミストと負イオンを含んだ空気の目標放出温度を、皮膚温センサ４１で検出された皮膚温度より所定温度、例えば２℃高い温度に設定し、ヒータ制御手段４４は、記憶手段４７に記憶されたマップデータを参照して、水温センサ２３で検出される貯水室８内の貯水温度が、設定手段４６で設定された目標放出温度に対応する貯水温度になるようにヒータ２２の出力を制御するものである。 Here, the control during the mist operation of nano mist and negative ions with the face close to the outlet 28 will be described in detail. During the mist operation, the setting means 46 is detected by the skin temperature sensor 41. Based on the measured skin temperature, the target discharge temperature of the air containing nanomist and negative ions discharged from the air outlet 28 is set to a predetermined temperature, for example, 2 ° C. higher than the skin temperature detected by the skin temperature sensor 41. The heater control means 44 refers to the map data stored in the storage means 47, and the water storage temperature in the water storage chamber 8 detected by the water temperature sensor 23 corresponds to the target discharge temperature set by the setting means 46. The output of the heater 22 is controlled so as to reach the water storage temperature.

このように、設定手段４６は、ユーザの皮膚の温度状態に合わせた目標放出温度を設定することができ、ヒータ制御手段４４は、吹出口２８から放出されるナノミストと負イオンを含んだ空気の放出温度を、皮膚温センサ４１で検出された皮膚温より所定温度高い目標放出温度になるようにヒータ２２の出力を制御することで、確実に顔を温めて毛穴を開かせ、顔肌へのナノミストの浸透を促進することができるものである。 Thus, the setting means 46 can set the target discharge temperature according to the temperature state of the user's skin, and the heater control means 44 can control the air containing the nano mist and negative ions discharged from the air outlet 28. By controlling the output of the heater 22 so that the release temperature is a target release temperature higher than the skin temperature detected by the skin temperature sensor 41, the face is surely warmed to open the pores, It can promote the penetration of nanomist.

さらに、吹出口２８から放出されるナノミストは、顔の無数の小さな毛穴から顔肌に入り込み、肌の保水力を高めると共に肌内の不純物を取り除くものであり、負イオンは、肌表面の老廃物を除去し綺麗でつやのある肌を取り戻せるようにするものであり、精神的にもリラックスして楽しみながら毎日繰り返し行えるものである。 Furthermore, the nano mist discharged from the air outlet 28 enters the face skin through countless small pores on the face, enhances the water retention capacity of the skin and removes impurities in the skin, and negative ions are waste products on the skin surface. It removes the skin and makes it possible to regain beautiful and shiny skin. It can be repeated every day while relaxing and enjoying mentally.

なお、本発明は先に説明した一実施形態に限定されるものでなく、本実施形態では、送風機４および回転体１７は駆動モータ１３の駆動軸１８で同軸に固定され、駆動モータ１３の駆動により同時に回転駆動できる構成となっているが、送風機４を回転駆動させる駆動モータ、回転体１７を回転駆動させる駆動モータをそれぞれ別に保有させ、送風機４と回転体１７を独立して回転駆動できる構成としてもよいものである。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. In this embodiment, the blower 4 and the rotating body 17 are coaxially fixed by the drive shaft 18 of the drive motor 13 and driven by the drive motor 13. However, the drive motor for rotating the blower 4 and the drive motor for rotating the rotating body 17 are separately provided so that the blower 4 and the rotating body 17 can be rotated independently. It is good.

また、本実施形態では、吹出口２８の近くに顔を近づけた状態で行われるミスト運転の際に、皮膚温センサ４１で検出された皮膚温度より所定温度高い温度のナノミスト及び負イオンを含んだ空気を放出するようにしているが、ミスト運転中に皮膚温センサ４１で人体の皮膚温が検出できなくなった場合は、人が居なくなったと判断してヒータ２２をＯＦＦすると共に駆動モータ１３の駆動を停止してミスト運転を一時停止するようにしてもよく、そうすることで、ユーザが少し席を外した場合でも無駄な電力消費を抑えることができるものである。 Further, in the present embodiment, in the mist operation performed with the face close to the air outlet 28, nano mist and negative ions having a temperature higher than the skin temperature detected by the skin temperature sensor 41 are included. Although air is released, if the skin temperature sensor 41 cannot detect the skin temperature of the human body during the mist operation, it is determined that there is no person and the heater 22 is turned off and the drive motor 13 is driven. The mist operation may be temporarily stopped so that wasteful power consumption can be suppressed even when the user takes a few seats away.
