Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a deodorizing device capable of keeping deodorizing capacity, requiring no power source and suppressing the reduction of an almost hermetically closed space. CONSTITUTION:A deodorizing device consists of a receiving part 1 having an opening part 1a at a part thereof and formed so as to have a predetermined inner volume, the opening and closing member 2 provided to the opening part 1a in a freely openable and closable manner and almost hermetically closing the receiving part 1 when closed and the deodorizing member 3 formed of a composite material consisting of a metal complex 3b constituted of a metal ion and org. acid and a ferrous porous body 3a provided to the inner surface of the receiving part 1 or the opening and closing member 2. The deodorizing member 3 forms a part of the inner surface of the receiving part 1 or the opening and closing member 2 and comes into contact with the flow of the atmosphere generated on the inner surface side of the receiving part and the opening and closing member 2 at each time when the opening and closing member 2 performs opening and closing operation to be activated in its deodorizing function and, therefore, the reduction of an almost hermetically closed space is suppressed and deodorizing capacity can be kept and a power supply forcibly forming a wind in order to restore deodorizing capacity is not required.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a deodorizing device for deodorizing a substantially sealed space.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional deodorizers use deodorizers such as activated carbon or fragrances by masking method and put them in a container of appropriate size that can be exposed to the atmosphere, and use deodorants and fragrances. There are air purifiers and air conditioners for heating and cooling that incorporate the deodorizing means.

[0003]

In the deodorizing apparatus as described above, the deodorizing function decreases when the deodorizing component is adsorbed by the deodorizing component, and the deodorizing function is different when the deodorizing component is used. It attaches a smell to it and disappears by vaporization. In addition, a power source is required to increase the deodorizing efficiency. Furthermore, the stationary type reduces the size of the space that is substantially sealed.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to maintain deodorizing ability, suppress a reduction in a substantially sealed space that does not require a power source. To provide a deodorizing device.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the deodorizing apparatus of the present invention has a storage part having an opening partly formed in a predetermined internal volume and an opening / closing part in the opening part. An open / close member that is freely provided and that substantially closes the housing when closed, and a composite material of a metal complex and an iron-based porous body that is provided on the inner surface of the housing or the opening / closing member And a deodorizing member formed.

[0006]

According to this structure, the deodorizing member is provided on the inner surface side of the storage portion or the opening / closing member, and is prevented from flowing into the atmosphere inside the storage portion and on the inner surface side of the opening / closing member each time the opening / closing member is opened / closed. Contact with them to activate the deodorant function.

[0007]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a storage part, which is box-shaped and partially has an opening.
It has 1a and is formed in a predetermined inner volume. For example, rockers, under-floor storages, bookshelves, cupboards, automobiles, and the like other than the opening 1a that can store objects are enclosed.

Reference numeral 2 denotes an opening / closing member, which is a storage part when the opening 1a is closed.
1 is formed in a plate shape that substantially seals, and has through holes 2a, 2a, ... The number and opening area of the through holes 2a are appropriately set, and the ventilation of the deodorant member described later is adjusted. The opening / closing member 2 has a single-opening door type supported by the hinge 2b at the edge of the opening 1a, but may be double-opening. Further, it may be in the form of a stopper, a lid, a shutter, or the like.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a deodorant member, which is formed into a plate-like three-dimensional mesh-shaped iron-based porous body 3a having a microporous structure, and then a metal complex is formed on the iron-based porous body 3a by an organic acid in contact with the atmosphere. 3b is formed. This deodorant member 3 has a through hole 2
The opening / closing member 2 is opened / closed by being bonded or fitted so as to form a part of the inner surface of the opening / closing member 2 at a position facing a, 2a, ... The turbulence of the atmosphere and the flow of the atmosphere passing through the through holes 2a, 2a, ... And the three-dimensional mesh-like cavities of the deodorizing member 3 activate the deodorizing ability.

The deodorizing mechanism is roughly as follows. First, the odorous component is adsorbed by the metal complex 3b formed on the microstructure surface of the iron-based porous body 3a, and is further “occluded” inside the metal complex 3b. Therefore, the adsorption active points on the surface are maintained, and an extremely high deodorizing ability is exhibited.

Second, metallic iron supplies electrons necessary for maintaining the activity of the metal complex 3b, so that the deodorizing effect is maintained for a long period of time.

[0013] Thirdly, since the deodorizing ability is restored each time it is exposed to the wind, the deodorizing effect is maintained.

In this case, since the wind is generated by opening and closing the opening / closing member 2, there is no need for a power source for forcibly producing the wind to restore the deodorizing ability.

In the deodorizing device having the storage portion 1 such as a rocker, the through hole may be provided in the wall of the storage portion 1 and the deodorizing member 3 may be provided at a position facing the through hole. In this device, the deodorizing ability is activated by the atmosphere passing through the deodorizing member 3 which is caused by the change in the atmospheric pressure in the storage portion due to the opening / closing of the opening / closing member 2.

Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The essential part of the present invention is the cleaning means 4. Since the members other than this main part are the same as those in the first embodiment described above, the substantially same members are designated by the same reference numerals and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The cleaning means 4 includes a brush 4a for sweeping the surface of the deodorizing member 3 provided on the ceiling surface 1b of the storage unit 1, and a drive rod 4b for driving the brush 4a in synchronization with the opening / closing operation of the opening / closing member 2. ,have. The deodorant member 3 is fixed to the ceiling surface 1b of the storage section 1 by sticking or fitting. The brush 4a has a pin connecting portion 4c in the middle portion, and one end thereof is pivotally attached to the ceiling surface 1b at the opening 1a side and near the hinge 2b. The drive rod 4b has one end connected to the pin connecting portion 2c provided on the opening / closing member 2 and the other end connected to the pin connecting portion 4c of the brush 4a.

Since the surface of the deodorizing member 3 is swept with the brush 5d by opening and closing the opening and closing member 2 to cause friction and wind, in order to restore the deodorizing ability, a force such as wind is applied. Does not require a power source to build.

[0019]

According to the deodorizing apparatus of the present invention, the deodorizing member forms a part of the inner surface of the accommodating portion or the opening / closing member according to the above-mentioned configuration, and the deodorizing member is opened and closed in the accommodating portion each time the opening / closing member is opened and closed. Since the deodorizing function is activated by contacting the air flow generated on the inner surface side of the member, the reduction of the substantially sealed space is suppressed,
The deodorant ability can be maintained, and a power source that forcibly creates wind or the like is not required to restore the deodorant ability.
