Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a washbasin unit for residential use.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, a washbasin unit is often provided in a bathroom or a dressing room adjacent thereto. There are two types of such washbasin units: one with a storage space at the bottom and one without. The former is placed on the floor near the wall of the installation room.

The latter is generally attached directly to the wall of the installation room.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, bathrooms and changing rooms tend to get humid.

Bathrooms in particular have the problem of mold growing easily due to the humidity. On the other hand, the humidity in the changing room makes it difficult to dry the body quickly after bathing.

Furthermore, since the washbasin unit itself uses water, it also has the problem of easily introducing moisture into the surrounding area even if it is installed in a location other than a bathroom or dressing room.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a washbasin unit that can easily reduce moisture around the installation location.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a washbasin unit that discharges dry air from above to help dry the body.

[Means for solving problems]

According to the present invention, the present invention includes a dehumidifier having a vertical outer wall surface, a washstand fixed to the vertical outer wall surface of the dehumidifier, and an additional device provided on the upper surface of the dehumidifier, and the additional device includes the above-mentioned additional device. A washstand unit having a dehumidifying function is obtained, which is characterized by having an extension duct connected to a dry air outlet of a dehumidifier and extending upwardly from the upper surface of the washstand.

〔Example〕

FIG. 1 shows an installed state of a washbasin unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The illustrated washbasin unit includes a dehumidifier 1,
The dehumidifier 1 includes a wash basin 2 integrated with the vertical outer wall surface. The dehumidifier 1 includes a vertically long air path forming member (i.e., a duct) 6 and a blower 6 provided in the air path 4 formed thereby. The duct 6 has a lower dehumidifier air inlet at the lower front surface and a dehumidifier air outlet 8 at the upper surface. The blower 6 sucks air outside the duct 6 into the air passage 4 from the dehumidifier air intake lower and discharges it from the dehumidifier air outlet 8.

A dehumidifier for dehumidifying the air passing through the air passage 4 is provided inside the duct B. This dehumidification device is composed of a refrigeration circuit, that is, an evaporator 11 located relatively on the windward side of the air passage 4, a condenser 12 located relatively on the leeward side, a compressor 16, and piping connecting these. and an expansion valve 14 provided in the pipe between the evaporator 11 and the condenser 12. According to this, the air that has flowed into the air path 4 first comes into contact with the evaporator 11 to be dehumidified, and then is heated in the condenser 12, and then flows out from the dehumidifier air outlet 8 as dry air at approximately the same temperature as the outside air. It's blown out. It goes without saying that the dehumidifier is operated as necessary.

An additional device 16 is provided on the top surface of the dehumidifier 1. The additional device 16 has an extension duct 17 connected to the dehumidifier air outlet 8 of the dehumidifier 1 . The extension duct 17 extends vertically upward, and its upper end is bent forward at a right angle. Inside the extension duct 17, an additional blower 18 and a heat generating element 19 such as an electric heater are provided. As a result, the dry air produced by the dehumidifier 1 is further transferred to the heat generating element 19.
The air outlet 2 at the upper front end of the extension duct 17
It becomes possible to blow out from 1 to the outside. Therefore, it can promote dryness of the body. The air outlet 21 has a looper 22 with a variable angle so that the air can be guided diagonally downward.
is provided. Note that it is preferable to use a mirror 23 on the front wall of the extension duct 17.

By the way, the washstand 2 has a water tank 26 fixed to the upper part of the front surface of the duct 3, and a storage compartment 27 located below the water tank 26. Water can be supplied to the washbasin 2 from a faucet 28. The water is also drained to the outside through drain pipe 29. On the other hand, water obtained from the evaporator 11 is received by the drain tray 61 and is discharged to the outside through the drain pipe 32. It goes without saying that the water that passes through the drain pipe 18 and the water that passes through the drain pipe 32 are discharged into the same drainage channel 33.

Note that an inlet duct 66 is provided below the storage compartment 27 for guiding air flowing into the dehumidifier air intake lower. The inlet duct 66 has a suction port 67 below the front surface of the storage compartment 27.

In addition, a dust filter 6 is placed at an appropriate position in the inlet duct 66.
8 is provided.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above, the washbasin unit according to the present invention has a dehumidifying function, and therefore can easily reduce the humidity around the installation location. Therefore, various problems caused by moisture around the installation location can be eliminated. Further, when this washbasin unit is placed in a changing room, the body, especially the hair, can be quickly dried after bathing by blowing dry air from above.
