Description
본 발명은 광촉매 적용 살균 가습기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a photocatalyst applied sterilizing humidifier.
일반적으로 가습기는 물을 수증기 상태로 변화시켜 배출시킴으로써 실내의 습도를 조절하는 장치로 장시간 사용하는 경우 가습기 내부에 세균이 번식하여 수증기와 함께 배출됨으로써 사용자의 건강을 해칠 수 있는 문제점이 있었다.In general, the humidifier is a device that controls the humidity in the room by changing the water in the state of water vapor and discharged, there is a problem that can damage the health of the user by discharging the bacteria inside the humidifier and discharged with water vapor.
이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 배출구 주변에 광촉매(22b)를 도포하고, 발광 다이오드(22a)를 설치한 '항균 기능을 가지는 가습기'(한국 실용신안등록 제20-0313173호)가 안출되었다.In order to solve this problem, a photocatalyst 22b was applied around the outlet and a humidifier having an antibacterial function (Korea Utility Model Registration No. 20-0313173) was installed.
상기와 같은 장치는 배출구에서 각종 유기물 등을 분해하도록 한 것으로 저수조, 기화필터 등에는 세균이 서식하기 쉽고, 유기물이 자주 흡착되어 유해 세균이나 박테리아 등이 서식하는 문제점이 있었다.Such a device is intended to decompose various organic matters, etc. at the discharge port, so that bacteria are easily inhabited in the reservoir, the vaporization filter, etc., and organic matters are frequently adsorbed, and harmful bacteria or bacteria inhabit.
또, 필터나 저수조 부위에 많은 양의 유기물이 흡착하게 됨으로써, 배출구를 통과하면서 대부분의 유기물 등이 광분해 반응에 의해 분해되지 못하고 배출되어실내를 오염시키는 문제점도 있었다.In addition, since a large amount of organic matter is adsorbed on the filter or the reservoir, most organic matters are discharged through photolysis without being decomposed by the photolysis reaction, and contaminate the room.
이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본 발명의 발명인에 의해 '광촉매 적용 가습기'(한국 실용신안출원 20-2003-0018523호)가 안출되기도 하였다.In order to solve this problem, the inventors of the present invention, 'photocatalyst applied humidifier' (Korean Utility Model Application No. 20-2003-0018523) has been devised.
위와 같은 장치는 저수조와 기화필터를 광촉매로 코팅하여 유기물이 저수조나 기화필터에 흡착하는 것을 억제하고, 광촉매코팅필터를 설치하여 유기물을 분해함으로써 깨끗한 수증기가 배출되도록 하였다.The above device was coated with a photocatalyst in a water tank and a vaporization filter to suppress organic matter from adsorbing to the water tank or a vaporization filter, and a photocatalyst coating filter was installed to decompose organic matter so that clean water vapor was discharged.
그런데, 저수조와 기화필터에는 광촉매필터부에 설치되어 있는 자외선램프에서 방사되는 자외선이 도달하기 힘들어 살균 효과가 떨어지는 문제점이 있었다.However, the reservoir and the vaporization filter have a problem in that the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet lamp installed in the photocatalyst filter are hard to reach and thus the sterilization effect is lowered.
본 발명은 이와 같은 문제점을 해소하기 위한 것으로, 저수조 내부 표면과 기화필터에 광촉매를 코팅시켜 저수조나 필터에 유기물이 흡착하지 않도록 하려는 목적이 있다.The present invention is to solve such a problem, it is an object to prevent the adsorption of organic matter to the reservoir or filter by coating the photocatalyst on the inner surface of the reservoir and the vaporization filter.
또, 기화필터의 전면에 광촉매코팅필터를 설치하여 유기물을 분해하려는 목적도 있다.In addition, a photocatalyst coating filter is provided on the entire surface of the vaporization filter to decompose organic matters.
또한, '광촉매 적용 가습기'를 보완하여 기화필터와 저수조 표면에 자외선이 많이 도달하도록 함으로써 유기물 분해 효과를 더욱 향상시키려는 목적도 있다.In addition, there is also an object to further improve the decomposition effect of organic matter by supplementing the 'photocatalyst applied humidifier' by allowing a lot of ultraviolet rays to reach the vaporization filter and the reservoir surface.

본 발명의 기술적 사상을 첨부된 도면에 의하여 보다 구체적으로 설명하면 다음과 같다.Hereinafter, the technical idea of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
그러나 첨부된 도면은 본 발명의 기술적 사상을 보다 구체적으로 설명하기 위한 하나의 예를 도시한 것에 불과하므로 본 발명의 기술적 사상이 첨부된 도면에 한정되는 것은 아니다.However, the accompanying drawings are only one example for more specifically describing the technical idea of the present invention, and thus the technical idea of the present invention is not limited to the accompanying drawings.
본 발명의 구성요소인 물탱크(10)는 내부에 물이 저장되는 것이다.The water tank 10, which is a component of the present invention, is water stored therein.
이러한 물탱크(10)에는 물이 주입되고, 배출될 수 있도록 물주입구와 물배출구가 형성된다.The water tank 10 is formed with a water inlet and a water outlet so that water can be injected and discharged.
물주입구에는 물탱크(10) 내로 공기중의 먼지 등이 들어가지 않도록 마개 등으로 개폐시키는 것이 바람직하다.It is preferable to open and close the water inlet with a stopper to prevent dust or the like from entering the air into the water tank 10.
물배출구에는 배출되는 물의 양을 조절하는 배출밸브(11)가 설치되어 있는데 배출밸브(11)는 일반적인 가습기에 사용되는 밸브를 사용한다.The water discharge port is provided with a discharge valve 11 for adjusting the amount of water discharged, the discharge valve 11 is used for the valve used in a general humidifier.
또, 물주입구를 별도로 형성하지 않고 하부의 물배출구를 통해 물을 주입할 수도 있다.In addition, water may be injected through the water outlet of the lower portion without separately forming a water inlet.
즉, 물주입시에는 물탱크(10)를 거꾸로 뒤집고, 배출밸브(11)를 분리한 후 물배출구로 물을 주입한 다음 배출밸브(11)를 물배출구에 고정시키면 된다.That is, when injecting water, the water tank 10 is turned upside down, the discharge valve 11 is removed, water is injected into the water outlet, and then the discharge valve 11 is fixed to the water outlet.
본 발명의 구성요소인 본체(20)는 일측에 공기가 흡입되는 흡입구(21)가 형성되어 있고, 타측에 수증기가 배출되는 배출구(22)가 형성되어 있다.The main body 20, which is a component of the present invention, has a suction port 21 through which air is sucked, and a discharge port 22 through which water vapor is discharged.
또, 내부에 물을 수증기화 시키는 여러 구성요소들이 설치되어 있고, 외측으로 제어부(80)가 형성되어 있다.In addition, various components for steaming the water are installed therein, and the controller 80 is formed outside.
제어부(80)는 전원과 전기적으로 연결되어 있어 각 구성요소들의 동작을 제어하게 되어 있다.The controller 80 is electrically connected to a power source to control the operation of each component.
또한, 본체(20) 내부에 공기중의 먼지 등이 섞여들어오는 것을 방지하기 위해 흡입구(21)에는 그레이팅(21a)과 먼지제거필터(21b)가 설치되는 것이 바람직하다.In addition, in order to prevent the dust and the like from entering the inside of the main body 20, it is preferable that the inlet 21 is provided with a grating 21a and a dust removal filter 21b.
본 발명의 구성요소인 저수조(30)는 본체(20) 내부에 설치되어 있고, 일측이배출밸브(11) 하단에 연결되어 있어 물배출구(22)를 통해 흘러나온 물(90)을 임시로 저장할 수 있도록 되어 있고, 표면이 광촉매로 코팅되어 있다.The reservoir 30 is a component of the present invention is installed inside the main body 20, one side is connected to the lower end of the discharge valve 11 to temporarily store the water 90 flowing through the water outlet 22 The surface is coated with a photocatalyst.
표면을 광촉매로 코팅하는 이유는 저수조(30)가 물탱크(10)와 달리 공기중의 세균 등에 장시간 노출됨으로써 표면에 이끼 등의 불순물이 생기거나 세균등이 번식할 염려가 있기 때문이다.The reason why the surface is coated with a photocatalyst is that, unlike the water tank 10, the storage tank 30 is exposed to bacteria in the air for a long time, so that impurities such as moss may be formed on the surface or bacteria may grow.
즉, 광촉매는 자외선을 쪼여주지 않으면 소수성을 갖기 때문에 저수조(30) 표면에 물 입자가 흡착되지 않아 이끼 등이 낄 염려가 적어지게 되는 것이다.That is, since the photocatalyst has hydrophobicity if it is not irradiated with ultraviolet rays, water particles are not adsorbed on the surface of the reservoir 30 so that there is less fear of moss.
또, 저수조(30) 상부에 자외선 램프가 삽입되어 있는 석영관을 설치하여 가습기를 작동시킬 동안은 광촉매 반응이 일어나게 할 수도 있다.In addition, a photocatalytic reaction may occur during the operation of the humidifier by installing a quartz tube in which the ultraviolet lamp is inserted above the reservoir 30.
즉, 가습기를 작동시키지 않을 때는 저수조(30) 표면이 소수성을 띄어 이끼 등이 낄 염려가 적게 되고, 가습기를 작동시키면 자외선램프(70)에 의해 광촉매반응이 일어나 저수조(30) 내부의 유기물을 분해하게 되는 것이다.That is, when the humidifier is not operated, the surface of the reservoir 30 is hydrophobic, and there is less fear of moss, etc., and when the humidifier is activated, a photocatalytic reaction occurs by the ultraviolet lamp 70 to decompose organic matter inside the reservoir 30. Will be done.
본 발명의 구성요소인 기화필터(40)는 저수조(30)에 하부가 침지되어 모세관현상에 의해 물(90)을 빨아올리도록 되어 있다.In the vaporization filter 40, which is a component of the present invention, the lower part is immersed in the reservoir 30 to suck up the water 90 by capillary action.
이러한 기화필터(40)는 종래의 기화필터(40)와 같이 흡수성이 강한 폴리비닐 아세트계 스폰지, 초산 에틸 에스테르계 스폰지, 비스코스 등의 천부재를 재료로 하여 1매의 천부재를 상자형으로 꺾어 만들거나 복수개의 천부재를 벌집형으로 접착하여 형성할 수 있다.The vaporization filter 40 is made of a cloth member, such as polyvinyl acetaceous sponge, ethyl acetate sponge, viscose, etc., which is highly absorbent, as in the conventional vaporization filter 40, and folds one cloth member into a box shape. It can be made or made by bonding a plurality of cloth members in a honeycomb form.
그런데, 이러한 기화필터(40)는 항상 물에 젖어 있어 이끼가 끼거나 세균등이 번식할 염려가 있었다.By the way, the vaporization filter 40 is always wet, there is a risk that moss or bacteria or the like breed.
또, 여름철에 사용하지 않아 보관할 때 기화필터(40)를 따로 분리해서 세척할 수 없는 문제점이 있었다.In addition, there is a problem that can not be separated and washed separately when the vaporization filter 40 is stored when not used in summer.
이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 흡수력이 강하고, 분리하여 세척한 후 건조하기 쉬운 제올라이트, 실리카알루미나, 실리카, 메조포러스물질 중 선택된 1종 이상의 혼합물로 된 모노리스 형태의 필터에 광촉매를 코팅시켜 표면에 이끼 등이 발생하지 않도록 할 수 있다.In order to solve this problem, a photocatalyst is coated on a monolithic filter made of a mixture of zeolite, silica alumina, silica, and mesoporous material, which has strong absorption ability, is easily separated and washed, and is then mossed on the surface. You can prevent it from happening.
또, 저렴하고 흡수력이 좋은 골판지 등의 종이를 모노리스 형태로 형성한 후 광촉매를 코팅시켜 사용할 수도 있다.In addition, it is also possible to form a monolithic paper such as cardboard, which is inexpensive and has good absorbency, and then coated with a photocatalyst.
이때, 기화필터(40)를 고정하는 필터프레임(41)을 형성하여 기화필터(40)를 본체(20)에 쉽게 탈부착 시킬 수도 있다.At this time, by forming a filter frame 41 for fixing the vaporization filter 40, the vaporization filter 40 may be easily attached to the main body 20.
이러한 기화필터(40)에 광촉매를 코팅한 후 살균효과가 좋은 과산화수소를 도포하면 기화필터(40)를 통과하면서 물 속의 유해 세균 등을 죽일 수 있게 된다.After coating the photocatalyst on the vaporization filter 40 and then applying hydrogen peroxide with good sterilization effect, it is possible to kill harmful bacteria in the water while passing through the vaporization filter 40.
또, 기화필터(40) 후면에 자외선램프가 삽입되어 있는 수정관(70)을 설치하거나 본체(20) 내부의 소정 위치에 자외선램프가 삽입되어 있는 수정관(70)을 설치하여 기화필터(40)에 자외선을 쪼여 세균이나 유기물질을 분해할 수도 있다.In addition, a crystal tube 70 in which the ultraviolet lamp is inserted is installed on the rear side of the vaporization filter 40 or a crystal tube 70 in which the ultraviolet lamp is inserted is installed at a predetermined position inside the main body 20. UV rays can break down bacteria and organic matter.
이러한 기화필터(40)의 전면에 광촉매필터부(60)를 형성하여 세균 또는 유기물질의 분해 효과를 향상시킬 수 있다.The photocatalyst filter 60 may be formed on the entire surface of the vaporization filter 40 to improve the decomposition effect of bacteria or organic materials.

예를 들어, 기화필터와 같이 제올라이트, 실리카알루미나, 실리카, 메조포러스물질 중 선택된 1종 이상의 혼합물로 된 모노리스 형태의 필터나 골판지 등의 종이로 된 모노리스 형태의 필터에 광촉매를 코팅시켜 형성할 수 있다.For example, the photocatalyst may be formed by coating a photocatalyst on a monolithic filter made of a mixture of one or more selected from zeolite, silica alumina, silica, and mesoporous materials or a monolithic filter made of paper such as cardboard. .
또, 미세한 세공이 무작위적으로 천공되어 있어 접촉면적이 큰 3차원 세라믹 필터나 접촉면적은 다소 적지만 경제적인 금속필터에 광촉매를 코팅하여 형성할 수도 있다.In addition, fine pores are randomly punctured to form a three-dimensional ceramic filter having a large contact area or a metal catalyst having a small contact area but economical coating with a photocatalyst.
또한, 일정한 모양의 다공이 규칙적으로 형성되어 있는 하니콤 필터에 광촉매를 코팅하여 형성할 수도 있다.In addition, the photocatalyst may be formed by coating a honeycomb filter having a predetermined shape of pores regularly.
이때, 하니콤 필터는 충분한 표면적을 갖도록 25~60mm 정도가 적당하다.At this time, the honeycomb filter is suitable about 25 ~ 60mm to have a sufficient surface area.
이러한 광촉매코팅필터(62)역시 기화필터(40)와 마찬가지로 광촉매를 코팅한 후 과산화수소를 도포하면 살균효과를 얻을 수 있다.Like the vaporization filter 40, the photocatalyst coating filter 62 may also be sterilized by applying hydrogen peroxide after coating the photocatalyst.
자외선램프(64)는 일반 UV살균램프 등의 살균효과가 좋은 단파 램프를 사용할 수 있다.The ultraviolet lamp 64 may use a shortwave lamp having a good sterilizing effect such as a general UV sterilizing lamp.
본 발명의 구성요소인 송풍기(50)는 흡입구(21)로부터 들어온 공기와 기화필터(40)에서 기화된 수증기를 혼합하여 배출구(22)로 강제로 보내는 역할을 하는 것이다.The blower 50, which is a component of the present invention, serves to force air to the outlet 22 by mixing air from the inlet 21 and vaporized vapor in the vaporization filter 40.
이때, 바람의 방향을 저수조(30) 하단쪽으로 향하게 하면 흡입구(21)로 들어온 공기 중에 섞여 있는 미세한 먼지 등이 저수조(30) 표면의 물을 만남으로써 배출구(22)로 깨끗한 공기가 배출되게 된다.At this time, if the direction of the wind is directed toward the bottom of the reservoir 30, the fine dust mixed in the air entering the inlet 21 to meet the water on the surface of the reservoir 30, the clean air is discharged to the outlet 22.
이러한 송풍기(50)의 바람의 방향을 저수조(30)로 유도하기 위해 송풍기(50)와 기화필터(40) 사이에 유로구획벽(23)을 형성하여 인위적으로 흡입구(21)로 들어온 바람이 저수조(30) 하단을 지나 배출구(22)로 향하도록 할 수 있다.In order to guide the direction of the wind of the blower 50 to the water tank 30, the flow path partition wall 23 is formed between the air blower 50 and the vaporization filter 40, and the wind artificially enters the suction port 21. (30) can be directed to the outlet 22 past the bottom.
이러한 송풍기(50)는 크로스 플로우 팬 또는 시로코팬 등 다양한 팬을 설치할 수 있다.The blower 50 may install a variety of fans, such as a cross flow fan or sirocco fan.
상기와 같이 구성된 본 발명의 작용을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to the operation of the present invention configured as described above are as follows.
가습기의 동작은, 먼저 물탱크(10)의 배출구(22)를 통해 본체(20)의 저수조(30)에 물이 흘러들어간다.In the operation of the humidifier, water flows into the reservoir 30 of the main body 20 through the outlet 22 of the water tank 10.
이때, 저수조(30)의 표면에는 빛을 쪼여주지 않으면 소수성을 갖는 광촉매가 코팅되어 있어 물 입자속에 있는 유기물이 저수조(30) 표면에 묻지 않게 되어 저수조(30)에 이끼 등이 발생하지 않게 된다.At this time, the photocatalyst having hydrophobicity is coated on the surface of the reservoir 30 so that organic matter in the water particles does not adhere to the surface of the reservoir 30 so that moss etc. do not occur in the reservoir 30.
또, 저수조(30) 상부에 자외선램프(70)가 설치되어 있는 경우 저수조(30) 내에서 광분해 반응이 일어나 저수조(30)에 물이 고여 발생할 수 있는 각종 유기물을 분해하게 된다.In addition, when the ultraviolet lamp 70 is installed above the reservoir 30, a photolysis reaction occurs in the reservoir 30 to decompose various organic substances that may be generated by accumulation of water in the reservoir 30.
저수조(30)로 흘러들어온 물(90)은 저수조(30)에 하부가 침지되어 있는 기화필터(40)를 따라 상승하면서 수증기화 된다.Water 90 flowing into the reservoir 30 is vaporized while rising along the vaporization filter 40 in which the lower portion is immersed in the reservoir 30.
그런 다음 송풍기(50)를 통해 외부의 공기와 기화필터(40)에 의해 수증기화된 물 입자가 배출구(22)를 통해 외부로 배출되게 된다.Then, the outside air and water particles vaporized by the vaporization filter 40 through the blower 50 is discharged to the outside through the outlet 22.
이때 기화필터(40) 앞쪽으로 광촉매필터부(60)를 설치하면 살균 및 정화효과가 향상되게 된다.At this time, if the photocatalyst filter unit 60 is installed in front of the vaporization filter 40, the sterilization and purification effect is improved.
본 발명에 의해, 저수조 내부 표면과 기화필터에 광촉매를 코팅시켜 저수조나 필터에 유기물이 흡착하지 않게 된다.According to the present invention, the photocatalyst is coated on the inner surface of the reservoir and the vaporization filter so that organic substances are not adsorbed to the reservoir or the filter.
또, 기화필터의 전면에 광촉매코팅필터를 설치하여 유기물을 분해할 수 있다.In addition, a photocatalyst coating filter may be disposed in front of the vaporization filter to decompose organic matter.
또한, 기화필터와 저수조 표면에 자외선이 많이 도달하도록 하여 유기물 분해 효과를 향상시킬 수 있다.In addition, it is possible to improve the decomposition effect of organic matter by allowing a lot of ultraviolet rays to reach the vaporization filter and the reservoir surface.
