Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a dehumidifier that traps moisture in the air and stores it inside.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a conventional household dehumidifier, a dehumidifier composed of deliquescent salts is generally used because it is inexpensive, highly safe, and has excellent hygroscopicity. When the water in the water comes into contact with the deliquescent salts, the salts are melted to form deliquescent liquid. As a dehumidifier using this dehumidifying agent, as shown in FIG. 4, a partition body 21 is provided at an intermediate portion in the up-down direction inside a container body 20 having an opening on the upper side, and a communicating body penetrating vertically in the partition body 21. A plurality of holes 22 are provided, a dehumidifying agent 23 is stored in the upper part of the partition body 21, and an opening at the upper end of the container body 20 is covered with a moisture-permeable impermeable sheet 24. It is known that the dehumidifying agent 23 stored in the container traps moisture in the air and stores it as the deliquescent liquid 25 in the lower portion inside the container body 20 through the communication hole 22. However, in the conventional dehumidifier, the dehumidifying agent 23 stored on the partition body 21 comes into contact with the moisture in the air from the dehumidifying agent 23 on the upper surface side to become the deliquescent liquid 25, and then downward. It flows and drips through the communication hole 22 of the partition body 21 to the lower part inside the container body 20, but when this deliquescent liquid 25 flows in the dehumidifying agent 23, it takes time to reach the communication hole 22 and deliquesce. The liquid 25 comes into contact with the dehumidifying agent 23 and is condensed again, so that the deliquescent liquid 25 does not flow through the dehumidifying agent 23 to the lower part, and the deliquescent liquid 25 accumulates inside or above the dehumidifying agent 23, so that the dehumidifying agent 23 There was a problem that the moisture absorption effect of was reduced. In order to improve this problem, as described in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 60-28483, a conical cylindrical body provided with a slit-shaped communicating hole radially from the top is provided on the partition body. It is known that the deliquescent liquid is dripped into the lower part of the main body of the container from the communication hole of the tubular body portion to reduce the accumulation of the deliquescent liquid in the dehumidifying agent.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 With a conventional dehumidifier, the deliquescent liquid drips into the lower part inside the container body from the communication hole of the cylindrical part provided on the partition body, and the deliquescent liquid stays in the dehumidifying agent on the partition body. However, since the deliquescent liquid flows not only downward in the dehumidifying agent but also in the lateral direction, it takes time to reach the communication hole of the tubular part, and As described above, the passage of the deliquescent liquid is blocked, and the flow of the deliquescent liquid is deteriorated, which may cause a problem that the moisture absorption effect of the dehumidifying agent is reduced. The present invention aims to solve this problem.
