Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of fungi on an object to be prevented from humidity by forming the circumference of a drying box from a far infrared ray generating member at the time of the regeneration of a desiccant. CONSTITUTION:The inside shutter 9 of a stocker is opened and the shutter 10 thereof is closed and the moisture in a drying chamber 2 is absorbed by a desiccant 6 to remove the humidity of the drying chamber 2. A current is supplied to a posistor heater 7 to heat a drying box 5. Simultaneously with the heating of the drying box 5, the shutter 10 of the stocker is opened and the disccant 6 release the absorbed moisture to the outside of a cabinet. When the desiccant 6 is reproduced, the far infrared ray emitting paint 11 applied to the outer surface of the posistor heater 7 is heated to generate far infrared rays having antifungal action. Said far infrared rays are applied to the object to be prevented from humidity received in the drying chamber through the transparent window of a dry unit 3 to remove fungi from said object. By this method, moistureproof treatment can be performed inexpensively.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention [Object of the Invention] (Industrial Application! IF) The present invention provides a moisture-proof chamber that maintains a drying chamber at low humidity by the moisture absorption effect of a desiccant material and prevents mold from forming on objects to be moisture-proofed. Regarding.

(Prior Art) Conventionally, when storing precision instruments such as cameras that dislike humidity, a moisture-proof cabinet as described below is used.

That is, FIGS. 3 to 5 show a general moisture-proof storage, and 1 is a cabinet. A drying chamber 2 is formed within this cabinet 1, and this drying chamber 2 is sealed with a sealant or the like so that there are no gaps, so that it has an airtight structure. Further, a door 3 with a magnetic gasket for opening and closing the drying chamber 2 is attached to the front opening of the cabinet 1 with one side end pivotally supported. The drying chamber 2 is sealed from the outside of the cabinet 1 with the door 3 closed to prevent outside air from entering.

Further, the drying chamber 2 has a built-in drying unit 4 shown in FIG. A drying box 5 is provided in the drying unit 4 as shown in FIG.
A desiccant material 6 is stored inside. Further, a posistar heater 7 is provided on the side of the drying box 5, and the posistar heater 7 is controlled by a timer 8 so as to be heated periodically.

Further, on the side of the drying unit 4, an internal shutter 9 that can be opened into the drying chamber 2 is provided, and an external shutter 10 that can be opened outside the drying chamber 2 is provided. These shutters 9 and 10 are controlled to open and close alternately by a shutter opening/closing mechanism (not shown) which is interlocked with the timer 8. The drying chamber 2 has a built-in humidity sensor (not shown) that works with the timer 8.
When the humidity falls below the set humidity, electricity is turned off to the drying unit 4, regeneration of the drying material 6 by the Bosister Heater Tough is stopped, and the humidity in the drying chamber 2 is adjusted.

Then, the internal shutter 9 and the external shutter 10 are periodically and alternately opened and closed to absorb moisture in the drying chamber 2 into the desiccant material 6, and thereafter, the desiccant material 6 is periodically removed by the action of the timer 8. By heating and regenerating with the POSISTOR heater 7, the moisture absorbed by the desiccant material 6 is released to the outside of the cabinet 1 through the opening of the external shutter 10. At this time, the humidity in the drying room 2 is set to 0N by the humidity sensor.
-Controlled by turning it off. Moisture absorption by the desiccant material 6 and regeneration of the desiccant material by energizing the Posistor heater 7 are repeated to keep the drying chamber 2 at a low humidity and to preserve the moisture-proof material for a long period of time.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in such a moisture-proof warehouse that periodically regenerates the desiccant material 6 to remove moisture, the desiccant material 6 has a low moisture absorption ability, and -
It is impossible to remove large amounts of moisture at once. Therefore, if a large amount of moisture-proof material is stored in the drying room 2.
It takes time for the humidity to drop, and it is unavoidable that the drying room 2 is temporarily in a high humidity state, and as a result, mold may grow on the moisture-proof object.

Furthermore, the same thing can be said when a moisture-proof object containing a large amount of moisture is housed.

The present invention has been made in consideration of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a moisture-proof warehouse that can prevent the growth of mold on objects to be moisture-proofed even if the drying room becomes temporarily in a high humidity state.

[Structure of the invention]

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention includes a drying unit built into a drying chamber, a drying box containing a desiccant material in the drying unit, and moisture absorption by the desiccant material. In a moisture-proof warehouse that maintains a drying room at low humidity by alternately performing drying and recycling of the drying material, at least the periphery of the drying box is formed by a far-infrared ray generating member that generates far-infrared rays when the drying material is recycled.

(Function) In a moisture-proof storage with such a configuration, when regenerating drying materials, that is, when heating the drying box, the drying box generates far-infrared rays that have a sterilizing effect, and this far-infrared rays irradiate the materials stored in the drying room. The dehumidified material is irradiated. Therefore, even if the humidity in the drying room temporarily increases, mold growth can be prevented.

(Embodiment) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below based on FIGS. 1 and 2. Since its basic configuration is the same as the conventional example shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the same components are given the same reference numerals and their explanations will be omitted.

FIG. 1 shows the interior of the drying unit 4, in which a drying box 5 is provided inside each shutter 9,10. This drying box 5 is made of a material with good thermal conductivity, such as aluminum, with many ventilation holes formed therein, and a desiccant material such as natural zeolite, etc.
is stored. Further, a positor heater 7 is provided on the side of the drying box 5 with its heating portion in contact with it.

A far-infrared ray-containing paint 11 is applied around the drying box 5, in this case, on the outer surface of the body heater tough. This far-infrared ray-containing paint 11 has heat resistance, and when heated, it emits far-infrared rays that have a sterilizing effect.

Further, on the side of the drying unit 4, as shown in FIG. 2, a transparent window 12 made of transparent plastic or glass is provided outside the drying box 5.

The moisture-proof cabinet configured in this manner opens the interior shutter 9 and closes the exterior shutter 10 to absorb moisture in the drying chamber 2 into the desiccant material 6 and remove moisture from the drying chamber 2. .

Then, by the timer 8, for example, 30 to 40
The drying box 5 is heated by energizing the Bosister Heater Tough for a minute. Simultaneously with this heating of the drying box 5, the internal shutter 9, which has been open until now, is closed by the shutter opening/closing mechanism, and the external shutter 10 is opened. This results in
The moisture absorbed by the desiccant material 6 is released to the outside of the cabinet 1. When the desiccant material 6 is recycled, the far-infrared ray containing paint 11 applied to the outer surface of the Bosister Heater Tough is heated to generate far-infrared rays that have a sterilizing effect. Then, this far infrared rays are irradiated through the transparent window 12 of the drying unit 4 to the object to be moisture-proofed housed in the drying chamber 2, thereby sterilizing the object to be moisture-proofed.

In this way, by applying the far-infrared ray-containing paint 11 that generates far-infrared rays to the outer surface of the POSISTOR heater 7 when the desiccant material 6 is recycled, the moisture-proof storage, which conventionally only had a moisture-proofing effect, can have a sterilizing effect. It is possible to significantly improve the storage stability of moisture-proof objects. In other words, conventionally, because the moisture absorption capacity of the drying material 6 is low, when a large amount of moisture-proofing material is housed at once or a moisture-proofing subject containing a large amount of moisture is housed, it takes a long time for the humidity in the drying chamber 2 to decrease. This sometimes caused mold to grow on the moisture-proofed items. Therefore, in the present invention, even if the drying room 2 is temporarily in a high humidity state, when the desiccant material 6 is regenerated, the object to be moisture-proofed is irradiated with far-infrared rays that have a sterilizing effect, and mold is generated on the object to be moisture-proofed. can be prevented from happening.

Further, in order to obtain the above effect, it is sufficient to simply apply the far-infrared rays-containing paint 11 to the outer surface of the positor heater 7, and the cost can be reduced without a significant increase in cost.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the above embodiment, the far-infrared ray containing paint 11 is applied to the outer surface of the positor heater 7, but the invention is not limited to this, and the drying box 5 itself may be made of plastic, ceramics, etc. that generates far-infrared rays when heated. You can do it like this.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, in the present invention, since at least the periphery of the drying box is formed by a far-infrared ray generating member that generates far-infrared rays when regenerating the drying material, in addition to the moisture absorption effect of the air in the drying chamber, the air sterilization effect is also achieved. can have. Therefore, even if the drying room is temporarily in a high-humidity state due to storing a large amount of moisture-proof objects at once, or storing moisture-proof objects containing a lot of moisture, mold will form on the moisture-proof objects. This can be prevented. Further, in order to obtain the above effect, it is sufficient to form the periphery of the drying box with a far-infrared ray generating member, and an inexpensive moisture-proof storage can be provided without a significant increase in cost.
