Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Object of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a deodorizing device that deodorizes contaminated air mainly generated in the home.

(Prior Art) Various deodorizing techniques have been considered in order to purify contaminated air containing various malodorous substances generated in the home. Conventional deodorizing equipment can be roughly divided into two types: 1, which physically treats contaminated air;
There are 1 type and a chemical treatment type.

The former method uses various types of filters, typically activated carbon, to deodorize by adsorbing molecules of malodorous substances, but the amount of malodorous substances that can be treated is almost determined by the amount of activated carbon, and Due to various conditions, malodorous substances can be removed from the awns and the odor can easily be generated again.

On the other hand, the latter is a method that chemically treats contaminated air by reacting it with a deodorizing solution and changing the molecules of malodorous substances into other odorless molecules, and is attracting attention because it does not have the problems of physical treatment methods. There is. As a deodorizing device using a chemical treatment method using this deodorizing liquid, for example,
As described in Publication No. 837, Publication No. 12-179522 of Utility Model Publication, etc., a device has been proposed in which a deodorizing liquid is atomized using a nozzle or ultrasonic vibration, and this is mixed with contaminated air to deodorize it. There is.

In a deodorizing device that uses such a deodorizing liquid, when the deodorizing liquid stored in the deodorizing liquid tank runs out, it is necessary to replenish it.
Is it necessary to do so?During the replenishment process, there is a risk that the deodorizing liquid will scatter around and stain the equipment and clothing. In order to facilitate this replenishment work, it is conceivable to use a cartridge type deodorizing liquid tank, filling the cartridge with deodorizing liquid outside the device, and then loading the cartridge into the device, but this would make the deodorizing device complicated and large. Put it away.

In addition, regardless of whether a cartridge type is adopted or not, it is necessary to store a large amount of deodorizing liquid outside the device, which requires a large storage space.
．． That's not good.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) As described above, in devices that chemically deodorize indoor contaminated air using conventional deodorizing liquid, there is a risk of staining clothes and the device when replenishing the deodorizing liquid, and it is difficult to replenish the deodorizing liquid easily. In order to do this, the deodorizing liquid tank is a cartridge type.Then, the device becomes complicated and large, and a large amount of deodorizing liquid must be stored outside the device, which causes the problem of requiring a large storage space. Futa.

This invention provides a deodorizing device that allows easy replenishment of deodorizer, does not require a secondary device or is bulky, and does not require a large storage space for the deodorizer. Let 1-1 be the target.

[Structure of the Invention] (Means for Solving the Problems) In order to achieve the above object, the present invention deodorizes indoor polluted air by mixing an atomized deodorizing solution and indoor polluted air. In a deodorizing device for discharging clean air into a room, a water tank is provided, and a deodorizer container containing a hard-11 deodorizer is provided in a flow path of water supplied from the water tank, : When the water passes through the solid deodorizer in the container, the deodorizing liquid is atomized.
It is L) that I made it exclusively.

(Function) In the present invention, since the deodorizing agent is solid, it can be easily replenished without having to use a cartridge type.

The water tank ＼ is t moss that costs one city for k, so I
No problem will arise, such as for the replenishment work at Kshoku Gorge. Furthermore, since the deodorizing liquid (long-lasting) is mainly consumed and the solid deodorizing agent is less consumed, it is not necessary to replenish the solid deodorizing agent frequently. Therefore, only a small amount of solid deodorizer can be stored, and a large storage space is not required.

(Example) An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a sectional view of a deflation device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged sectional view of the main parts.

An intake port 2 is provided in the upper part of the housing 1, and indoor contaminated air is sucked into the housing 1 through the intake port 2 by rotation of a fan 3 installed on the downstream side.

On the other hand, a water tank 5 containing water 4 is located below inside the housing 1.
A deodorizer container 7 containing a solid deodorizer 6 is provided in a flow path of water supplied from the water tank 5. The solid deodorizer 6 is a deodorizer solidified into a hollow cylindrical shape. The deodorizer container 7 has a cylindrical shape with a G bottom, and the water tank 5
One part is fitted into a cylindrical part 8 formed at the bottom of the cylindrical part 8. The cylindrical part 8 at the bottom of the water tank 5 has a double cylindrical shape, and a valve chamber 9 is provided inwardly. A through hole 1.0.11 is formed in the circumferential surface and bottom surface of the valve chamber 9. Valve chamber 9] is supported by a spring 12! A solid valve 13 is provided. Further, the tip of a shaft 12 vertically fixed within the housing 1 is inserted into the valve chamber 9 by penetrating the hollow portion of the solid deodorizer 6.

An atomizer 16 is connected to the deodorizing liquid container 7 via a pipe 15. The atomization device 16 is a deodorizing liquid 1 generated by the water 4 in the water tank 5 passing through the solid deodorizing agent 6.
7 is stored in a liquid reservoir 18 and is vibrated by an ultrasonic vibrator 19 to atomize it. Ultrasonic vibration-r-1
Reference numeral 9 is made of an electrode 6 formed on both sides and is made of a piezo element.A support member 20 such as silicone rubber is provided at the bottom of the 2° liquid reservoir 18, and one electrode surface is connected to the liquid reservoir 1.
It is supported so as to be in contact with the deodorizing liquid 17 in 8.

In this case, the liquid level of the deodorizing liquid 17 I7 in the liquid reservoir 18 is adjusted by the height of the deodorizing liquid supply port from the piping 15, and thereby the height to the liquid level of the deodorizing liquid 17 on the ultrasonic vibrator 19 is adjusted. is kept constant, so the amount of atomization of the deodorizing liquid 17 is always kept constant.

The deodorizing liquid 17 atomized by the atomizing device 16 is sucked into the deodorizing unit 21 by the rotation of the fan 3, and mixed with the indoor contaminated air sucked from the intake port 2, thereby deodorizing the indoor lri-stained air. do. The deodorizing section 21 includes a partition wall 22 provided parallel to the upper wall of the housing 1, an air intake port 2, and a fan 3.
It is composed of a plurality of barrier plates 23 and a collection filter 24 provided between the The barrier plate 23 promotes the deodorizing effect by forming a meandering passage, and is formed integrally with the partition wall 22, for example. The recovery filter 24 is made of a porous metal material, for example, and has the function of blocking liquid components (deodorizing liquid) and allowing only air to pass through.

The clean air thus deodorized is discharged into the room by the fan 3.

A plurality of through holes 25 are formed in the partition wall 22, and the deodorizing section 21
The deodorizing liquid 17 that has adhered to and condensed on the barrier plate 23 and the recovery filter 24 passes through the through hole 25 and is then recovered by the deodorizing liquid recovery section 26 .

The deodorizing liquid recovery section 26 includes an inclined plate 27 provided at the lower part of the through hole 25 and a recovery tank 28 that receives the deodorizing liquid that has passed through the inclined plate 27.

Next, the operation of the deodorizing device configured as described above will be explained.

First, when the power of the apparatus is turned on, the fan 3 is activated, and indoor contaminated air containing malodorous substances is sucked into the deodorizing section 21 from the intake port 2. At the same time, ultrasonic transducer 1
The deodorizing liquid 17 near the ultrasonic vibrator 19 in the liquid reservoir 18 is atomized by being energized by a drive signal from a drive circuit (not shown) and performing ultrasonic vibration, and the rotation of the fan 3 causes the deodorizing part 21 to atomize. flows into. The deodorizing liquid 17 that has flowed into the deodorizing section 21 mixes with contaminated air, reacts with malodorous substances in the contaminated air, and deodorizes the air. The deodorized clean air is discharged into the room by the fan 3.

On the other hand, in the deodorizing section 21, the barrier plate 23 and the collection filter 2
The deodorizing liquid 17 that has adhered to and condensed on the partition wall 22 passes through the through hole 25 provided in the partition wall 22, travels along the inclined plate 27, and is collected in the collection tank 28.

The deodorizing liquid 17 in the liquid reservoir 18 is produced by the water 4 in the water tank 5 passing through the solid deodorizing agent 6. That is, when the deodorizing liquid 17 is atomized by the atomizing device 16 and the liquid level of the deodorizing liquid 17 falls below the deodorizing liquid supply port of the piping 15, as shown by the arrow in FIG. water 4 passes through the through hole 10.11 formed in the valve chamber 10, and further flows out into the deodorizer container 7 through the gap between the cylindrical part 8 at the bottom of the water tank 5 and the shaft 14, A deodorizing liquid 17 is obtained by dissolving the solid deodorizing agent 6. The deodorizing liquid 17 generated in this way is transferred to a liquid reservoir 18 through a pipe 15.
supplied to When the liquid level of the deodorizing liquid 17 in the liquid reservoir 18 becomes higher than the deodorizing liquid supply port of the piping 15, the water 4 in the water tank 5 and the deodorizing liquid 17 in the liquid reservoir 18 are in an equilibrium state.
The supply of water 4 to the solid deodorizer 6 is stopped.

Since the solid deodorizer 6 progresses in elution during long-term use,
It is necessary to replenish at appropriate times, but since it is solid, replenishment is easy and does not stain clothes or deodorizing equipment. Furthermore, since it is not necessary to use a cartridge type, the device can be prevented from becoming complicated and large.

Furthermore, the solid deodorizer 6 has a longer lifespan than a deodorizer (deodorizing liquid) that is in a liquid state from the beginning, and is compact, so it requires less storage space. This is a great advantage as a home deodorizing device.

Although it is necessary to replenish the water tank 5 with water 4 relatively frequently, there is no problem like that when replenishing the deodorizing liquid. Note that when the tank 5 is removed from the device when refilling the water 4, the valve 13 is pushed by the spring 12 and closes the bottom through hole 11 of the valve chamber 9, thereby preventing water from leaking from the tank 5. Ru.

[Effects of the Invention] The deodorizing device according to the present invention uses a solid deodorizing agent, passes water through it to generate a deodorizing liquid, and supplies the deodorizing liquid to the atomization device, thereby making it easy to capture the deodorizing agent. Since there is no need to use a cartridge type, the packaging i' can be made into a cylinder with a small L('!), and furthermore, there is no need for a large storage space for the deodorizer.
