Description

本発明は、例えば住宅やオフィス、車室等に設置する中圧ないし低圧空気を導入する空気清浄器、またはビル、工場等の空調設備機器に好適で、高価なフィルタや脱臭・除菌機器を要することなく簡単な構造で安価に製作でき、しかもメンテナンスに至便な、空気中の夾雑物分離装置に関する。 The present invention is suitable for an air cleaner that introduces medium- or low-pressure air installed in, for example, a house, office, vehicle compartment, etc., or an air conditioner equipment such as a building or factory, and an expensive filter or deodorizing / sterilizing device. The present invention relates to a dust separation apparatus in the air that can be manufactured at a low cost with a simple structure and is convenient for maintenance.

従来の空気清浄器の中に、立位型の縦長の本体外殻の上部または下部にファンを配置し、本体外殻下部から空気を吸い込み、これを本体外殻内部の空気通路に導入するとともに、空気通路に下方から、ろ過ユニット、イオン発生器、静電集塵板、光触媒板等を配置し、更に空気通路に内壁に紫外線ライトを配置して、吸い込み空気中の粉塵や微粒子、花粉等を吸着し収集するとともに、吸い込み空気中の有害物質を殺菌および分解するものがあり、また空気通路の下方から、ＨＥＰＡフィルタや常温触媒、光触媒等を配置して、吸い込み空気中の有害物質を捕獲したり臭気を脱臭するようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献１および２参照）。 In a conventional air purifier, a fan is placed at the top or bottom of a vertical body shell that stands upright, and air is sucked from the bottom of the shell and introduced into the air passage inside the shell. From the lower side of the air passage, a filtration unit, ion generator, electrostatic precipitator plate, photocatalyst plate, etc. are placed, and an ultraviolet light is placed on the inner wall of the air passage, so that dust, fine particles, pollen, etc. in the intake air In addition to adsorbing and collecting water, there are those that sterilize and decompose harmful substances in the intake air. From the lower part of the air passage, a HEPA filter, room temperature catalyst, photocatalyst, etc. are arranged to capture the harmful substances in the intake air. Or deodorizing odors (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2).

しかし、これらの空気清浄器は、空気通路に複数の高価なフィルタや消毒殺菌機器を配置しているため、空気中の有害物質等を高精度に清浄できる反面、それらの設置スペースを要して、全体的に大形重量化するとともに、非常に高価になる等の問題があった。 However, these air purifiers are equipped with a plurality of expensive filters and disinfection sterilization equipment in the air passage, so that they can clean harmful substances in the air with high precision, but they require space for their installation. However, there are problems such as an increase in overall weight and a very high cost.

また、他の空気清浄器として、立位型の縦長の本体外殻の上部または下部にファンを配置し、本体外殻下部から空気を吸い込み、これを本体外殻内部の空気通路に導入するとともに、空気通路の下部に防塵フィルタと吸着フィルタを重合して配置し、空気通路の中間部に光触媒層を形成したランプを配置し、吸い込み空気中の粉塵や微粒子等を吸着し収集するとともに、吸い込み空気中の有機物を分解するものがあり、また多数の吸気口を形成した中空筒状の本体ケースの上部にイオン発生機構を配置し、集塵室内の空気を強制的に排出するとともに、本体ケースの内部にコロナ放電用電極と、該電極の内側に集塵用の電極を配置し、吸い込み空気中の粉塵や微粒子等を吸着し収集するようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献３および４参照）。 In addition, as another air purifier, a fan is placed at the top or bottom of the vertical body shell that stands upright, and air is sucked from the bottom of the shell and introduced into the air passage inside the shell. A dust-proof filter and an adsorption filter are placed in the lower part of the air passage, and a lamp with a photocatalyst layer is placed in the middle of the air passage to absorb and collect dust and fine particles in the suction air and Some of them break down organic matter in the air, and an ion generation mechanism is placed on top of the hollow cylindrical main body case with a large number of air intakes to forcibly exhaust the air in the dust collection chamber. In which a corona discharge electrode and a dust collecting electrode are arranged inside the electrode to adsorb and collect dust, fine particles, and the like in the intake air (for example, Patent Documents 3 and 4). three ).

しかし、これらの空気清浄器は、空気通路に高価な複数のフィルタや消毒殺菌機器を配置しているため、空気中の有害物質等を高精度に清浄できる反面、それらの設置スペースを要して、全体的に大形重量化するとともに、非常に高価になる等の問題があった。
しかも、これらの従来の空気清浄器は、フィルタや消毒殺菌機器によって電気的に空気を清浄し消毒殺菌しているため、それらの経年的な使用によって機能が低下し、また故障した場合は、所期の空気清浄能力ないし脱臭殺菌効果を得られなくなり、その作動および維持管理費が高価になる等の問題があった。 However, these air purifiers are equipped with a plurality of expensive filters and disinfection sterilization equipment in the air passage, so that it is possible to clean harmful substances in the air with high precision, but they require space for their installation. However, there are problems such as an increase in overall weight and a very high cost.
Moreover, since these conventional air purifiers electrically clean and disinfect by using filters and disinfection and sterilization equipment, their function deteriorates due to their aging, and when they break down, The problem was that the air cleaning ability and deodorizing and sterilizing effect could not be obtained, and the operation and maintenance costs were expensive.

ところで、従来の気液分離装置の中に、高圧空気を導入可能な入口通路を形成した上カバーに、底部に排水管を接続した円筒体を着脱可能に装着し、上カバーに貫通孔を有するエア−案内子を取付け、該エアー案内子のフランジに仕切管を取付け、該仕切管の内側に複数の仕切構造を積み重ねて配置し、これらを通しボルトで連結するとともに、前記仕切構造に凹状空間と該空間に連通する透孔を形成し、入口通路から導入した水分を含む高圧空気を円筒体内に導入し、該高圧空気を各仕切構造の凹状空間に衝突させて透孔へ移動し、この移動を順次繰り返して含有水分を分離し、その分離水を排水管から排出するようにしたものがある（例えば、特許文献５参照）。 By the way, in a conventional gas-liquid separator, a cylindrical body with a drain pipe connected to the bottom is detachably attached to an upper cover formed with an inlet passage through which high-pressure air can be introduced, and the upper cover has a through hole. An air guide is attached, a partition pipe is attached to the flange of the air guide, a plurality of partition structures are stacked on the inside of the partition pipe, these are connected by through bolts, and a concave space is formed in the partition structure. And a high-pressure air containing moisture introduced from the inlet passage is introduced into the cylindrical body, and the high-pressure air collides with the concave space of each partition structure and moves to the through-hole. There is one in which the movement is sequentially repeated to separate the contained water, and the separated water is discharged from the drain pipe (see, for example, Patent Document 5).

しかし、この気液分離装置は高圧空気を各仕切構造に衝突し、その空気中の含有水分を内面に凝結させて分離させるため、空気よりも重い水分の分離は行なえるが、住宅やオフィス、ビル、工場等の空調設備や空気清浄器のように、それらに高圧空気以下の中圧ないし低圧空気を導入する場合は、水分の分離よりもゴミや空気よりも軽い塵埃等の微粒子の分離が重要になり、このような分離に前記気液分離装置は応じられない。 However, this gas-liquid separation device collides high pressure air with each partition structure and condenses and separates the moisture contained in the air on the inner surface, so it is possible to separate moisture that is heavier than air, When introducing medium- or low-pressure air below high-pressure air, such as air conditioning equipment and air purifiers in buildings, factories, etc., fine particles such as dust and lighter than air are separated. It becomes important, and the gas-liquid separation device cannot respond to such separation.

そして、ファン１６をカバ−４内部の吸気口１１または排気口１２内部に設置し、空気を導入または排出可能にし、または吸気口１１若しくは排気口１２に空気導管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂を接続し、この空気導管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂の内部にファン１６を配置することも可能であり、何れの構成によっても所期の空気清浄作動と効果を得られ、その構成によって多様な空気清浄器または空調設備機器を得られる。 In addition, the air cleaner 1 of the present invention requires the arrangement of an intake / exhaust fan 16 inside or outside of the air cleaner 1. / Cm < ² > or less, that is, 0.15 to 0.2 MPa or less, and a small, lightweight and small capacity is used.
Then, the fan 16 is installed in the intake port 11 or the exhaust port 12 inside the cover 4 so that air can be introduced or discharged, or the air conduits T ₁ and T ₂ are connected to the intake port 11 or the exhaust port 12, It is also possible to arrange the fan 16 inside the air conduits T ₁ and T ₂ , and the desired air cleaning operation and effect can be obtained by any configuration, and various air purifiers or air conditioning equipment can be obtained depending on the configuration. Equipment can be obtained.

例えばファン１６を吸気口１１または排気口１２の内部に配置すれば、空気導管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂を省略して空気清浄器１をコンパクトに構成でき、これを種々の場所に簡便に移動して容易に使用できる。
一方、吸気口１１または排気口１２に空気導管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂を接続し、該管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂の内部若しくは外部にファン１６を配置すれば、空気清浄器１内部におけるファン１６の設置スペ−スの確保や配線が不要になり、その分空気清浄器１の小形軽量化と構成の簡潔化を図れ、更に空気清浄器１を非設置型とし、ビルや工場等の大規模な空調回路に空調設備機器として介挿した使用を図れる。 For example, if the fan 16 is arranged inside the intake port 11 or the exhaust port 12, the air conduits T ₁ and T ₂ can be omitted to make the air cleaner 1 compact, and this can be easily moved to various places. Easy to use.
On the other hand, the intake port 11 or exhaust port 12 is connected to air conduit T _1, T _2, by arranging the fan 16 to the inside or outside of the tube T _1, T _2, installation of the air purifier 1 fan 16 inside Space and wiring are not required, and the air cleaner 1 can be reduced in size and weight, and the configuration can be simplified. In addition, the air cleaner 1 is not installed, and large-scale air conditioners such as buildings and factories are used. The circuit can be used as an air conditioning equipment.

こうして組み立てた空気清浄器１を使用する場合は、空気清浄器１を建物または車室の安定した床面等の設置面２に立設し、底部の透孔７に排水管８を接続し、該管８に開閉弁９を接続する。
また、ファン１６を空気清浄器１の外部に配置する場合は、吸気口１１または排気口１２に空気導管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂を接続し、該管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂の内部若しくは外部にファン１６を配置する。この場合は、例えば空気清浄器１を非設置型とし、ビルや工場等の大規模な空調回路に空調設備機器として介挿する。 When the air cleaner 1 assembled in this way is used, the air cleaner 1 is erected on an installation surface 2 such as a stable floor surface of a building or a passenger compartment, and a drain pipe 8 is connected to the bottom through-hole 7. An open / close valve 9 is connected to the pipe 8.
Also, when the fan 16 disposed outside of the air purifier 1, the intake port 11 or exhaust port 12 to connect the air conduit T _1, T _2, the tube T _1, inside or outside the T ₂ Fan 16 Place. In this case, for example, the air purifier 1 is a non-installation type, and is inserted as an air conditioning equipment in a large-scale air conditioning circuit such as a building or a factory.

そして、空気清浄器１を所定位置に設置後、ファン１６をＯＮし、周辺の空気を空気導管Ｔ₁，Ｔ₂を介して吸気口１１に吸入し、これをガイド孔１４から空気通路１７へ押し出し、空気通路１７の下部から底部に衝突して反転し、空気清浄筒１８内を上動させる。
前記導入空気は空気通路１７の底部に衝突後、反転して空気清浄筒１８に向かって上動し、その最下位置の仕切板２０の透孔２３に導かれ、該透孔２３を通過後、直上の仕切板２０の透孔２３に導かれてジグザグ状に蛇行する。
以降、導入空気は直上の仕切板２０の透孔２３に導かれ、該透孔２３を通過後、排気口１２に導かれて空気清浄器１の外部の部屋や車室に送り出される。 Then, after the air purifier 1 is installed at a predetermined position, the fan 16 is turned on, and the surrounding air is sucked into the air inlet 11 through the air conduits T ₁ and T ₂ , and this is passed from the guide hole 14 to the air passage 17. Extruding, colliding with the bottom from the lower part of the air passage 17 and reversing, the inside of the air cleaning cylinder 18 is moved upward.
The introduced air collides with the bottom of the air passage 17, then reverses and moves upward toward the air cleaning cylinder 18, is guided to the through hole 23 of the partition plate 20 at the lowest position, and passes through the through hole 23. Then, it is guided to the through hole 23 of the partition plate 20 directly above and meanders in a zigzag manner.
Thereafter, the introduced air is guided to the through hole 23 of the partition plate 20 immediately above, and after passing through the through hole 23, is led to the exhaust port 12 and sent out to a room or a vehicle room outside the air cleaner 1.

その際、導入空気中の塵埃は移動中に攪拌され、ガイド孔１４と空気通路１７の周壁に付着し、空気清浄筒１８の移動時には各仕切板２０の下面と筒体１９の内面に衝突して塵埃が付着し、透孔７の通過時は導入空気中の異物や塵埃が除去され、透孔７の通過後は各仕切板２０の上面に接触して塵埃が付着するとともに、直上の仕切板２０の下面と筒体１９の内面に衝突して塵埃が付着し、順次清浄される。 At that time, dust in the introduced air is agitated during the movement, adheres to the peripheral wall of the guide hole 14 and the air passage 17, and collides with the lower surface of each partition plate 20 and the inner surface of the cylindrical body 19 when the air cleaning cylinder 18 moves. When dust passes through the through-hole 7, foreign matter and dust in the introduced air are removed, and after passing through the through-hole 7, the dust comes in contact with the upper surface of each partition plate 20, and the partition directly above The dust collides with the lower surface of the plate 20 and the inner surface of the cylinder 19 and is sequentially cleaned.

こうして導入空気はガイド孔１４から空気通路１７の長い流路を移動し、また空気清浄筒１８内をジグザグ状に蛇行し長い流路を移動して攪拌され、各流路の周壁および仕切板２０に接触し衝突を繰り返して塵埃を除去し、従来多用されていた高価なフィルタを要することなく空気を清浄し、清浄した空気を排気口１２へ移動して外部の部屋や車室に送り出す。 In this way, the introduced air moves from the guide hole 14 through the long flow path of the air passage 17, meanders in the air cleaning cylinder 18 in a zigzag manner, moves through the long flow path, and is agitated. The dust is removed by repeating the collision and the air is cleaned without using an expensive filter that has been used frequently, and the cleaned air is moved to the exhaust port 12 and sent to an external room or vehicle compartment.

そして、空気清浄器１を一定期間使用後、適時ハウジング３とカバ−４を分解し、カバ−４から空気清浄筒１８を取外し、これを筒体１９と仕切板２０に分解し、これらを例えば水洗いして付着した塵埃を除去し、洗浄後、これらを組立てれば初期の清浄機能を回復し得る。 And after using the air purifier 1 for a certain period, the housing 3 and the cover 4 are disassembled in a timely manner, the air purifying cylinder 18 is removed from the cover-4, and this is disassembled into the cylinder 19 and the partition plate 20, and these are, for example, The initial cleaning function can be restored by removing dust adhering by washing with water and assembling them after washing.

一方、空気清浄器１の内部が露点温度以下になると、導入空気中の水分がガイド孔１４や空気通路１７の周壁、空気清浄筒１８の各仕切板２０の上下面や筒体１９の内面に結露し、その液滴が前記付着した塵埃を流れ落としながら、透孔２３を介して流下しハウジング３の底部に収容される。したがって、適時、開閉弁９を開弁して前記結露水を排水管８から外部へ排出する。 On the other hand, when the inside of the air purifier 1 is at or below the dew point temperature, moisture in the introduced air is introduced to the peripheral walls of the guide holes 14 and the air passages 17, the upper and lower surfaces of each partition plate 20 of the air cleaning cylinder 18, and the inner surface of the cylinder 19. Condensation occurs, and the droplets flow down through the through-hole 23 while flowing down the attached dust, and are stored in the bottom of the housing 3. Therefore, when appropriate, the on-off valve 9 is opened to discharge the condensed water from the drain pipe 8 to the outside.
