Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a dehumidifier, in which the blowing direction of dehumidified and dry air can be changed depending on the application, and the handling and reliability of the water receptor can be improved. The present invention relates to a dehumidifier suitable for improving.

[Prior Art] Conventional dehumidifiers, particularly floor-standing dehumidifiers, are described, for example, in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-50184.

Some models suck indoor air from one side of the cabinet and blow it out to the other side, and others, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-50183, suck air from the front of the cabinet and blow it upwards. However, sufficient consideration has not been given to changing the blowing direction.

Furthermore, for example, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-50184, a water receiver for storing dehumidified water (drain water) is equipped with a means to automatically stop operation when the water becomes full. The container could be slid out to dispose of the water.

However, when the water receiver is pulled out when it is full of water, the container tends to be in an unstable position, leading to the risk of spilling water, and no consideration has been given to ensuring stable attachment and detachment with light force.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] Today, due to advancements in construction technology, living spaces have become enclosed, and on the other hand, Japan's weather conditions are humid, with long rains in the rainy season and autumn, and snowfall on the Sea of Japan side. Demand for dehumidifiers is increasing in order to provide a comfortable indoor environment and to protect buildings, furniture, etc. from moisture damage. In addition to simply dehumidifying indoor rooms, it has become desirable to use it for multiple purposes, such as drying clothes by blowing dry air and drying poorly ventilated places such as closets and shoe racks.

In the conventional dehumidifier described above, the air suction direction and air blowing direction are constant, and no consideration has been given to using it for multiple purposes.

In addition, in the above-mentioned conventional dehumidifier, the water receiver for drain water is detachable in a sliding manner, and there is a problem that the operation to pull out the water receiver when it is full of water is unstable and cannot be handled with light force. there were.

Furthermore, a float switch means is provided to automatically stop operation when the water receiver is full of water, but if the operation is unstable, for example when installing the water receiver after discarding the water that has accumulated in the water receiver. However, there was a problem in that the stability of the operation of the float switch means could not be expected.

In addition, the above-mentioned full-water stop can be achieved by installing a float in the water receiver,
The structure uses the buoyancy to operate a microswitch lever to stop the boat. In this operation by the float, when the water level in the water receiver rises and becomes close to full, the lower end surface of the float begins to come into contact with the water surface. At this time, the water surface is rippled by the vibrations of the compressor, and the float vibrates under the influence of these waves, causing a problem of generating rattling noise at the contact area between the float and the upper end surface of the water receiver.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems in the prior art described above, and its first purpose is to provide an air outlet that can vary the direction of blowing and can be used for multiple purposes, so that the air flows smoothly. Our goal is to provide dehumidifiers with good airflow characteristics.

A second object of the present invention is to provide a dehumidifier in which the water receiver for drain water can be easily attached and detached with a light force, and the reliability of the float switch section can be prevented from decreasing due to unstable attachment. be.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above first object, the configuration of the first invention related to the dehumidifier of the present invention is such that at least , compressor, cooler,
In a dehumidifier that is equipped with a reheater, a blower, and a removable drain water receiver, the air suction port is provided on the front surface of the cabinet, and the air suction port is located on the upper surface of the cabinet in the vertical direction above the center of gravity of the dehumidifier. A front descending portion is formed closer to the front side, and an air discharge port is provided in this front descending portion.

More specifically, a wind direction plate that changes the direction of dry air blown by a blower after passing through a reheater in the cabinet is formed on the top surface of the cabinet in front of the vertically upper position of the center of gravity of the dehumidifier. It is rotatably mounted on the front downward surface to form an air outlet.

Moreover, in order to achieve the above second object, the configuration of the second invention related to the dehumidifier of the present invention is such that at least a compressor, a cooler, In a dehumidifier equipped with a reheater, a blower, and a removable drain water receiver, the drain water receiver rotates around a mounting fulcrum of the water receiver provided in the cabinet. The mounting fulcrum is set at the center of gravity of the water receiver when water is stored, or at a position outward from the center of gravity of the water receiver.

More specifically, the mounting fulcrum of the water receiver has a bearing structure having a notch for insertion and removal so that the water receiver can be rotated about the mounting fulcrum as a center of rotation and further removed from the cabinet.

[Operation] The concept behind the development of the present invention and the operation of the above technical means will be described below.

In general, a dehumidifier's main function is to remove moisture from the room, lower the relative humidity in the room, and protect buildings, furniture, etc. from moisture damage, but it is also often effective for drying laundry, etc. Are known.

When drying clothes, in addition to the room temperature, the wind flow around the clothes is a major factor because it promotes the evaporation of moisture from the clothes.

The first invention of the dehumidifier of the present invention focuses on this point, and includes an air suction port on the front surface (front side) of the cabinet so that the dehumidified discharge air directly shines on clothes hung above. An air outlet is provided in the front descending part, and the blower uses a cross-flow fan to increase the distance that the discharged air can reach.

The air outlet provided on the top of the cabinet is intended for drying clothes, but the air outlet is equipped with a wind direction plate that allows the direction of air to be varied so that it can also be used for drying local areas such as closets and shoe racks. As a result, the direction of the discharged air can be deflected mainly directly upward and diagonally forward.

Further, since the opening on the top surface of the cabinet allows dust to enter when it is not in use, it is necessary to cover it.The size of the wind direction plate is made the same as that of the opening, and when it is not in use, the wind direction plate is rotated and used as a lid. When the lid is closed, the ventilation is stopped.

Moreover, the second aspect of the dehumidifier of the present invention relates to the attachment and detachment of the water receptor.

A dehumidifier is equipped with a water receiver that stores dehumidified water (drain water), and in the past, it has generally been installed and removed by pulling it out and inserting it in a sliding manner.

Also, the water receptor was meant to be inserted.

In addition to storing drain water, the water container also has the function of automatically stopping operation when the water is full.

In the dehumidifier of the present invention, the water receptor can be attached and detached in a rotating manner, and can be attached and detached with less force than in a sliding type.

Since the rotation axis is fixed, there is less variation in mounting dimensions.
The stability of the operation of the microswitch that stops the operation is improved.

Since the water receptor is to be removed from or attached to the aircraft, the shape of the mounting fulcrum (during rotation) should be
The bearing part is circular with a notch for insertion and removal, and the shaft side is a cylinder with both sides sliced, and the narrow side of the shaft is inserted through the bearing notch and rotated to prevent it from coming off. can be achieved.

This will be explained in detail with reference to the figures.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the state in which the dehumidifier shown in Fig. 1 blows diagonally forward, Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the air blowing part of Fig. 4, and Fig. 6 shows the air when it is blown upward. FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view of the air blowing portion, FIG. 7 is an enlarged sectional view showing the air outlet in a closed state, FIG. 8 is an enlarged sectional view showing the orientation of the cam means in the state shown in FIG. 7, and FIG. , an enlarged cross-sectional view showing the orientation of the cam means in the state of FIG. 6, and FIG. 10 is a diagram showing the relationship between the direction of discharge air and the drying effect on clothes.

In each case, the same parts as in FIGS. 1 to 3 are indicated by the same symbols, and solid arrows indicate the flow of wind.

In each of Figures 5 to 7, 20 is the fulcrum 20
This handle 20 is provided in a recessed part on the top cover 3, and its fulcrum 20a for raising and lowering is in the vertical direction of the center of gravity G of the dehumidifier as shown in FIG. It is located at the top, that is, on the vertical line H. Therefore, when moving the dehumidifier, the handle 20 can be raised and carried.

Note that the shape of the handle 20 has been designed for aesthetic purposes so that it matches the shape of the top surface of the top cover 3 when the handle is laid down.

21 is a front duct, 22 is a rear duct, and 23 is a net. In other words, the rear cylinder 2 serves as a ventilation duct for the cross-flow fan 13.
A part of the rear duct 22 is used as the air outlet 5 of the top cover 3.
A front duct 21 is provided from the front end to the upper end of the reheater 13, and the front duct 21 and the rear duct 22 form an air passage.

Furthermore, the net 23 protects the air outlet 5 from entering the interior of the machine from foreign matter from above.

The wind direction plate 6 attached to the air discharge port 5 has guide vanes 6a and 6b approximately parallel to the outer circumferential surface of a cylindrical rotating body 6C, and the rotating body 6C is connected to the upper surface cover 3 via a rotating shaft 6d. It is rotatably supported by a frame (the support part is not shown).

In the orientation of the wind direction plate 6 shown in FIG. 5, the dry air blown by the cross-flow fan 13 via the reheater 12 is guided by the guide vanes 6a and 6b of the wind direction plate 6, and is directed diagonally upward and forward at an angle γ. (hereinafter referred to as diagonally forward).

Further, in the direction of the wind direction plate 6 shown in FIG. 6, dry air is blown upward.

Next, the position of the air outlet 5 and the external shapes of the top cover 3 and the wind direction plate 6 will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 7.

The air outlet 5 is located on the top surface (top surface) of the top cover 3 of the cabinet, and is located vertically above the center of gravity G of the dehumidifier shown in FIG.
position) is opened in the lower front part on the front side.

D shown in FIG. 5 indicates the upper end of the rear duct 22 located on the rear side of the top cover 3 and the operation part 1 which is the front part of the top cover 3.
This is the difference in height from the top of 6. Due to this height difference, diagonal forward blowing is performed smoothly.

In the orientation of the wind direction plate 6 shown in FIG. 7, the guide vane 6a, which is a part of the wind direction plate 6, plays the role of a lid that closes the air outlet 5 opened on the front downward surface of the upper surface of the cabinet. The outer shape of the guide vane 6a serving as the lid follows the R shape of the front downward surface. The center of this R coincides with the center of gravity line of the center of gravity G of the dehumidifier. Note that the center of gravity line is a line passing through the center of gravity G and parallel to the direction of the rotation axis of the wind direction plate.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the air outlet 5 is closed by the guide vane 6a, the blowing of air is stopped.

In FIGS. 8 and 9, 6e is a cam provided at one end of the rotating shaft 6d of the wind direction plate 6, 25 is a microswitch related to a switch for stopping air blowing, and 25a is a microswitch.

Contact the cam, release it and turn on the micro switch.

It is a push rod that turns it off.

As shown in FIG. 8, when the guide vane 6a of the wind direction plate 6 closes the air outlet 5, the cam 6e is in a direction away from the pushbutton 25a of the micro switch 25, and the air blowing is stopped and the dehumidifier operation has been suspended.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 9, when the wind direction plate 6 opens the air outlet 5, the cam 6e is in the direction of contacting the pushbutton 25a of the micro switch 25, the dehumidifier is operated, and the air is not blown. It will be done.

The effect of drying clothes in the case of upward blowing as shown in FIG. 6 or FIG. 9 will be explained with reference to FIG. 10.

In FIG. 10, the horizontal axis represents elapsed time, and the vertical axis represents the weight of clothing (kg), and the change in clothing weight due to the conventional technique is shown by a dashed line, and the change in clothing weight due to upward blowing of this embodiment is shown by a solid line. .

The drying conditions were a changing room, an outside air of 25°C, and a humidity of 80%.The amount of clothes was 2 kg, which was the weight of 2 dress shirts, 6 underwear, 2 T-shirts, 1 polo shirt, 3 towels, and 4 socks. corresponds to Clothing that contains water weighs about 3.5 kg, and when dried, it changes to its original weight of 2 kg. It takes 10 hours to dry when the air is not directly applied to the clothes as in the conventional technology, but it takes about 5 hours when the air is applied directly to the clothes by upward blowing as in this embodiment. was confirmed.

According to this embodiment, there are the following effects.

1) Depending on the purpose of the dehumidifier, the blowing direction can be changed using the wind direction plate.

For example, upward blowing makes it possible to dry clothes, and oblique forward blowing makes it possible to dry local areas such as closets and shoe racks.

2) The airflow characteristics are improved and short circuits can be prevented.

In general, it is preferable for the characteristics of a free-flow fan to discharge air in the direction of suction, but if air is sucked in from the front and discharged to the front, dry air will be sucked in again, causing a so-called short circuit loss. The air passage configuration blows out diagonally forward (diagonally upward), so there is no short circuit and the airflow characteristics are good.

3) The air outlet or wind direction plate is provided on the top of the cabinet, at the front downward side of the vertically upper position of the dehumidifier's center of gravity, so there is no obstruction to the diagonal forward airflow, allowing for smooth airflow. It will be done.

4) Since the guide vane of the wind direction plate also serves as a cover for the air outlet, it is possible to prevent dust and foreign matter from entering the machine from above when the machine is stopped. In addition, operation is automatically stopped when the guide vanes of the wind direction plate close the air outlet, so reliability is high.

Next, a second aspect of the dehumidifier according to the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 11 to 15.

11 is a perspective view showing the water receiver of the dehumidifier shown in FIG. 1 in a rotated state, FIG. 12 is a perspective view showing the state with the water receiver removed, and FIG. Enlarged plan view of the figure,
FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram showing the relative positions of each component when the water receptor is attached, and FIG. 15 is a configuration diagram of the float switch means.

In each of FIGS. 11 to 13, 7 is a water receiver, 7a is a handle provided on the center of gravity P of the water receiver 7 when water is stored, and 7b is a handle that connects the water receiver 7 to the front of the cabinet. A bearing that constitutes a mounting fulcrum for rotatably mounting on the cover;
7c is a notch for insertion and removal, 26 is a support shaft constituting the mounting fulcrum, 8 is a float, and 8a is a float switch push plate.

As shown in FIG. 13, the water receiver 7 of this embodiment is attached and detached by rotating the attachment fulcrum provided on the front cover 1 of the cabinet as the center of rotation.

The mounting fulcrum O is set at the center of gravity when the water receiver 7 stores drain water, that is, at the center of gravity P of the handle 7a, or at a position outward from the center of gravity.

In FIG. 13, let L be the distance from the center of gravity P to the outer surface of the water receiver 7, and L2 be the distance from the mounting fulcrum O (center of rotation) to the outer surface of the water receiver 7.

0.9L□>L, >0.7L□ It is preferable to set it to .

If the center ○ of the installation fulcrum is inward, there is a risk that the water receiver will tilt forward when rotating. By setting it as shown in Figure 13, stable rotation and attachment/detachment of the water receiver will be possible. It becomes possible.

As shown in FIG. 13, the mounting fulcrum part of the water receiver 7 has a circular bearing part 7b, and a part has a notch 7c for insertion and removal.
The mating support shaft 26 has a shape in which both sides of a cylinder are sliced, and the narrow side of this shaft is inserted through the notch 7c.

It is something to leave.

Its operation is shown in Figure 11.12.

In the state shown in Fig. 11, the water receiver 7 is rotated 90 degrees around the mounting fulcrum ◯, and then pulled forward as shown in Fig. 12 and supported by the notch 7c of the bearing part 7b. It is detached from the shaft 26 and carried by the handle 7a to a drainage site.

Next, we will discuss the first part about the automatic operation system when the water is full using floats.
This will be explained with reference to Figure 4.15.

In Fig. 14.15, 27 is a microswitch for stopping the operation of the dehumidifier when the water receiver 7 is full of water;
7a is a push rod of the microswitch 27, and 28 is a lever for moving the push rod 27a. The switch push plate 8a of the float 8 is in contact with the lever 28.

As shown in FIG. 15, when the dehumidifier is in operation, the switch push plate 8a and the lever 28 are in contact as shown by the solid line, and the lever 28 is in contact with each other as shown in the solid line.
is turned on by pressing the pushbutton 27a of the microswitch 27. When the drain water becomes full in the water receiver, the float 8 rises due to buoyancy, and the switch push plate 8a
changes the position at which the lever 28 is pushed as shown by the broken line, and the lever 28 moves away from the pushbutton 27a and the microswitch 27
is turned off and operation is stopped.

Since such a float switch means is used, when installing the water receiver 7, the switch push plate 8a of the float 8 is
must properly contact the lever 28 and press the pushbutton 27a of the microswitch 27. FIG. 14 shows how the switch push plate 8a and the lever 28 contact each other when the water receiver 7 is not in accurate contact with the rear cylinder 2 of the cabinet.

In FIG. 14, the solid line indicates when the water receptor is installed correctly, and the dashed-dotted line indicates when it is attached unstablely.6 In FIG. D2 is the difference between correct contact and unstable contact at the contact part, D2 is the gap at the end of the cabinet due to the unstable mounting of the water receiver 7, and R1 is the distance between the mounting fulcrum O and the end of the switch push plate. , R2 is the distance between the mounting fulcrum ○ and the water receptor end, α is the switch push plate 8 when correctly installed
a, the angle β between the contact end of the lever 28 and the center of gravity P is,
Water receptor when worn correctly7. If the angle θ between the cabinet contact end and the center of gravity P is defined as the angular difference in which α and β change between correct mounting and unstable mounting, then D1=

If cos53°=0.602 and D2=3rrn, then 3=177x θ Xo, 985 θ=0. 0172Rad D, = 144 X O, 0172X O, 602 =
1.49 (an).

In conventional sliding type water receptors, the gap between the end of the cabinet and the water receptor due to unstable mounting becomes a gap between the float and the microswitch, reducing the reliability of the float switch section.

In the rotary water receiver of this embodiment, Dl is 1 for D2.
Since it is about /2, the reliability of the float switch section is increased accordingly.

Next, we will discuss the shape of the float.

As shown in FIG. 15, the float 8 of this embodiment has an oblique bottom surface, so that the oblique surface of the float 8 contacts the water surface in a wedge-like manner as the drain water level in the water receiver 7 rises. . This makes it difficult for the influence of waves from the water surface, which is rippled by the vibration of the compressor, to be transmitted to the float 8, and the vibration of the float 8 is also reduced, making it possible to prevent rattling noise.

The water receptor of this embodiment has the following effects.

1) The water receiver for drain water is a rotary attachment/detachment system, and the mounting fulcrum of the water receiver is at the center of gravity of the water receiver when water is stored, or is located outside of the center of gravity, so there is no risk of water spilling. Stable attachment and detachment can be easily performed with light force.

2) Even if you do not have to be particularly careful when inserting the water receptor, there is little risk of lowering the reliability of the float switch unit due to unstable installation. In other words, it is possible to set the float switch unit stably as the water receiver is attached, and the reliability of the automatic full-water stop device is improved.

3) The float in the water receiver has a shape that is not easily affected by the ripples of water in the container, and the float vibration and R
Sound can be prevented.

Next, the cabinet configuration of the dehumidifier of this embodiment will be explained.

FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view showing the cabinet configuration of the dehumidifier shown in FIG. 1.

As shown in FIG. 16, the dehumidifier cabinet of this embodiment includes a front cover 1 having an air suction port 4, at least a compressor 10 (see FIG. 3), a cooler 11, a reheater 12,
Rear box 2 that can be equipped with a cross-flow fan 13 and control electrical equipment 1
5 (see Figure 3), and a rear cover 9 that can be attached and removed for maintenance of the air conditioner 5 (see Fig. 3), and an electrical component 17 for operation with the air outlet 5 opened.
(see FIG. 3) and a top cover 3 having an operation section 16, and is configured to be easily disassembled and assembled.

This cabinet configuration has the following effects.

1) A compressor which is a vibration source is attached to the rear box 2 which is a strength member]
Since the cross-flow fan 13 is incorporated, vibrations during operation of the product can be suppressed to a small level.

2) By separating the top cover 3, inspection can be performed from above during maintenance. In addition, the electrical components of the main maintenance section can be easily separated.6 Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the air outlet is provided with an air outlet that can vary the direction of air blowing and can be used for multiple purposes. A dehumidifier with smooth air flow and good air volume characteristics can be provided.

Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a dehumidifier in which the drain water receiver can be easily attached and detached with a light force, and the reliability of the float switch section can be prevented from decreasing due to unstable attachment.
