Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a humidifying device in an air conditioner.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there are air conditioners that replenish water and utilize a water absorbing plate to perform humidification. For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the main body 1 of the humidifier is installed in the indoor heat exchanger (not shown) of the air conditioner.
It is attached to the vicinity of and humidified. The main body 1 is
City water or hot water circulating in the indoor heat exchanger is supplied to the water supply pipe 4 while being adjusted by the adjusting device 3 from the water supply port 2 and stored in the water storage can 6 from the water supply port 5 of the water supply pipe 5. Then, the filter material 7 made of a non-woven fabric is hydrated, and the humidifying plate 8 made of a non-woven fabric is made to hydrate with the filter material 7. Humidifier 8
Is led out through the bottom surface of the water storage canister 6, and humidification is performed by ventilating the humidifying plate 8 group.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the water is temporarily stored in the water storage can 6 through the water supply port 5, the filter medium 7 is made to contain water, and then the humidifying plate 8 is further added.
Since the circulating water of warm water and dust (scale) such as city water clogging the filter medium 7 over time, the humidifying plates 8 cannot be sufficiently hydrated and the humidifying capacity is There was a problem of decrease.

The present invention solves such a problem, and an object thereof is to provide a humidifying device with less clogging over time.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve such a problem, the present invention forms a humidifying plate hanging piece by notching an upper edge of a side plate of a box-shaped water supply can in a longitudinal direction, and the humidifying plate hanging piece is formed. It is equipped with a horizontal water absorbing plate made of non-woven fabric along with, a comb tooth-like portion is provided on the upper side of the horizontal water absorbing plate, the humidifying plate has a hook piece in the upper part, and a horizontal concave cutout groove in the lower side. Then, fit the hook pieces above each of the humidifying plates into the groove portions of the horizontal water absorbing plate and mate them, and fit the lower notch grooves on the humidifying plate side so as to engage with the concave grooves of the horizontally provided holding plate. It has a different structure.

Function With this configuration, the water supplied to the water supply can is contained in the horizontal water absorption plate, and is also contained in the protrusion extending below the hook piece on the humidification plate side to be transmitted to the humidification plate. The sufficiently humidified air is blown out by ventilating a large number of humidifying plates.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6. In FIG. 6, the main body 11 of the air conditioner is supplied with indoor air from the lower suction port 12, passes through the indoor heat exchanger 14 through the blower 13, and is humidified by the humidifying device 15 attached to the leeward side. Air is blown into the room through the air outlet 16. The humidifier 15 has a structure as shown in FIG. That is, the humidifier main body 17 has a plate side 18,1
It is composed of a water pan 21 having a drainage port 20 and a water supply port 20, and a water supply can 23 to which a top plate 22 is attached. The water supply can 23 has a water supply inlet 24 directly connected to a city water pipe. The water supply can 23 is provided with a plurality of humidifying plates 25 arranged in the vertical direction, and hot air that has passed through the indoor heat exchanger 14 (Fig. 6) passes through the gaps 26 between the humidifying plates 25. There is. As shown in FIG. 3, the water supply can 23 is formed in a box shape, and a large notch 27 is provided in the longitudinal direction at the upper edge of one side plate on the front side to form a humidifying plate hooking piece 28.

In FIG. 1, a horizontal water absorbing plate 29 made of non-woven fabric and having a high water content is provided so as to contact the humidifying plate hooking piece 28 and to extend along the longitudinal direction. The horizontal water absorbing plate 29 has comb teeth formed on its upper edge and has a large number of grooves 30. A humidifying plate 25 is hung on the groove 30. As shown in FIG. 5, the humidifying plate 25 is provided with a submerged projection 31 so that only a small part of the humidifying plate 25 is located behind the water supply can 23. A hook piece 32 is formed so as to be continuous with this and to intersect with the groove portion 30 at a right angle. In the lower part,
A recessed notch groove 33 is provided, which intersects and engages with the recessed groove 35 of the holding plate 34 made of the non-woven fabric shown in FIG. 1 at right angles, and at a position above the position of the upper end of the water tray 21. The group of humidifiers 25 is held.

In the above configuration, the horizontal water absorbing plate 29 is arranged along the humidifying plate hanging piece 28, and the humidifying plate 25 is hooked to the groove portion 30 and the hook piece 32 at right angles with the humidifying plate hanging piece 28. On the other hand, the lower part is assembled so as to intersect the concave groove 35 of the holding plate 34 at right angles. In this way, by supplying the city water from the water supply inlet 24, the water flows to the bottom surface 36 of the water supply can 23 and is contained in the horizontal water absorbing plate 29. Water contained in the lateral water absorbing plate 29, including the contact portion of the orthogonal humidifying plate 25, when the water supply increases,
Since the lower portion of the water-containing protrusion portion 31 of the hook piece is also immersed in water, water is also absorbed from here and the humidifying plate 25 contains a large amount of water. The hot air that has passed through the indoor heat exchanger 14 comes into contact with the humidifying plate 25, is humidified, and is blown out from the blow-out port 16 to this water-containing place. Further, depending on the amount of air blown, the water falls onto the water tray 21, but this water is drained from the drain port 20.

As a result, since the holding plate 34 is located above the upper end of the water tray 21, not only is it humidified by the humidifying plate 25, but the humidifying effect of the holding plate 34 due to the water content is also increased. is there.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION As is clear from the description of the embodiments, the present invention has a lateral water absorbing plate having a groove portion inside the humidifying plate hanging piece, and a humidifying plate is hung orthogonally to the lateral water absorbing plate, and is held on the lower side. Since the humidifying plate is held orthogonally by the plate, as in the past,
Unlike the structure in which the filter material is covered on the humidifying plate, clogging due to aging is less likely to occur, and sufficient water is transmitted from the horizontal water absorbing plate to the humidifying plate, so that the water content is large and the humidifying capacity is enhanced and the humidifying is performed. The container also has an effect such as miniaturization.
