Description

Air Purifier

The present invention relates to an air cleaner having a dust collecting unit.

In the air purifier, for example, an electric dust collector is used, and the dust and the pollen contained in the air that is sucked into the main body casing are collected by the driving of the air blower provided in the main body casing (see, for example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 10-99718) .

In the air cleaner described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 10-99718, an intake grill is disposed on the front of the air cleaner body formed of a plurality of resin panels. A storage recess is formed in a front surface of the air cleaner main body. In the housing recess, a strainer, an electronic dust collecting member (electron dust collector), and a deodorizing filter are sequentially stored from the front surface to the back surface of the air cleaner main body. Further, a suction side opening is formed in a substantially central portion of the housing recess. A fan is disposed at the rear (back side) of the suction side opening. The fan passes the indoor air sucked into the housing recess from the suction grille through the strainer, the electronic dust collecting member, and the deodorizing filter.

Generally, an electronic dust collector has a discharge electrode and a dust collecting electrode. The electronic dust collector charges the dust and pollen by the discharge of the discharge electrode, and collects the charged dust and pollen by the dust collecting electrode. Therefore, the collected dust, pollen, and the like are deposited on the dust collecting electrode. Therefore, it is necessary to clean the electronic dust collector periodically (for example, once a month) to remove dust, pollen, and the like deposited on the dust collecting electrode. Therefore, it is preferable that the electronic dust collector can be easily attached and detached with respect to the air cleaner main body.

In the air cleaner described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 10-99718, a handle is attached to a substantially central portion of the upper end surface of the electronic dust collecting member. When the electronic dust collecting member is taken out from the housing recess, the user grasps the handle of the electronic dust collecting member and pulls it forward. Thereby, the upper end side of the electronic dust collecting member is inclined forward and is separated from the housing recess. Next, the user pulls the handle obliquely upward. Thereby, the electronic dust collecting member is taken out from the housing recess. Thereby, by providing a handle on the electronic dust collecting member, the user can easily perform the take-out operation of the electronic dust collecting member.

As described above, in the air cleaner described in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 10-99718, it is necessary to provide a handle on the electronic dust collecting member. Therefore, the structure of the electronic dust collecting member becomes complicated. Further, it is necessary to provide a large relief portion that the user's hand can enter in front of the housing recess and at a portion corresponding to the handle. Therefore, there is a problem that the air purifier is enlarged.

The rear panel 14 is a molded piece of a synthetic resin material, and is disposed in the main body portion 11 On the other side. In the following description, the side of the main body portion 11 on which the front panel 12 is disposed is referred to as the front surface side of the main body portion, and the side of the main body portion 11 on which the rear panel 14 is disposed is referred to as the rear side of the main body portion. .

A front bezel 13 as a molded product of a synthetic resin material is disposed in front of the front panel 12. An upper suction port 13a, a right side suction port 13b, and a left side suction port 13c as air intake ports of the air cleaner 1 of the present embodiment are formed between the front baffle 13 and the front panel 12. Further, an upper air outlet 14a, a right side air outlet 14b, and a left side air outlet 14c, which are air blowing ports of the air cleaner 1 of the present embodiment, are formed between the main body portion 11 and the rear panel 14. In the air cleaner 1, the air sucked into the main body portion 11 from the upper suction port 13a, the right side suction port 13b, and the left side suction port 13c is blown out from the upper air outlet 14a, the right side air outlet 14b, and the left side air outlet 14c. . During this period, the air is dedusted, humidified and deodorized.

As shown in Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, the inside of the main body portion 11 that communicates the upper suction port 13a, the right side suction port 13b, the left side surface suction port 13c, the upper surface air outlet 14a, the right side air outlet 14b, and the left side air outlet 14c The space becomes the ventilation passage 10 of the air cleaner 1 of the present embodiment. In the following description, the suction port side of the ventilation passage 10 will be referred to as an upstream side and the outlet side will be referred to as a downstream side as needed.

On the upper surface portion of the air cleaner 1, to cover the upper surface suction port The operation unit 15 is provided in a part of 13a. A button for operating the air cleaner 1 such as a power button and an operation mode switching button is disposed on the operation unit 15. Further, the operation unit 15 is provided with a display unit. The display unit displays the operation state of the air cleaner 1 and the detection results of a detector such as a dust sensor (not shown).

As shown in FIG. 3, in the duct 10 inside the main body portion 11 of the air cleaner 1, a strainer 21, a dust collecting unit 22, a deodorizing unit 23, a humidifying unit 24, and a descending portion are disposed in this order from the upstream side to the downstream side. The blower 25 is provided.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the strainer 21 is disposed in front of the dust collecting unit 22, and includes a mesh portion (not shown) and a resin frame 21a. The mesh portion has, for example, a mesh structure formed by braiding a linear PET material. The resin frame 21a is formed of a synthetic resin material for holding the mesh portion. The strainer 21 collects (removes) dust contained in the air that has entered the inside of the main body portion 11. The strainer 21 is disposed so as to cover the upstream side (air suction port side) of the first finger insertion portion 16c and the second finger insertion portion 16d as the notched portions by the resin frame 21a.

As shown in Fig. 4, the strainer 21 has an arc shape and protrudes toward the front surface side of the main body portion. In the case where the strainer 21 has a flat shape, when the strainer 21 has an arc shape, the air sucked into the inside of the main body portion 11 from the upper surface suction port 13a, the right side surface suction port 13b, and the left side surface suction port 13c passes through the strainer 21 The area becomes larger. Therefore, the strainer 21 can trap more dust.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 5, the dust collecting unit 22 includes a first electronic dust collector 22a and a second electronic dust collector 22b. The dust collecting unit 22 (the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b) has, for example, a rectangular parallelepiped shape. The first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b are arranged side by side in the vertical direction. The first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b have a discharge electrode and a dust collecting electrode (not shown). The first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b receive power from respective terminals provided to the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b provided in the separator 16 to be described later. The first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b, which are supplied with power, respectively charge the fine dust and pollen that are not collected by the coarse filter 21 by corona discharge of the discharge electrode, and collect and charge the electricity by using the dust collecting electrode. Dust and pollen. That is, the dust collecting unit 22 dedusts the sucked air. The first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b are mainly composed of the above-described discharge electrode, dust collecting electrode, and a casing housed therein. Therefore, the air resistance of the dust collecting unit 22 (the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b) is smaller than the air resistance of the dust collecting filter of the corrugated shape composed of the nonwoven fabric. In addition, in FIG. 5, in order to clearly show the dust collection unit 22 (the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b), the drawing of the front panel 13 is abbreviate|omitted.

As shown in FIG. 6, the first grip portion 22c is provided at a substantially central portion in the height direction of the left and right side surface portions of the casing of the first electronic dust collector 22a. The first hand grip portion 22c is formed from the left and right sides of the first electronic dust collector 22a to the inside. Concave. Further, similarly to the first electronic dust collector 22a, the second hand grip portion 22d is provided at a substantially central portion in the height direction of the left and right side surface portions of the casing of the second electronic dust collector 22b. The second hand grip portion 22d is formed in a concave shape from the left and right side surfaces of the second electron dust collector 22b. The first hand grip portion 22c and the second hand grip portion 22d can be easily formed by, for example, a mold.

The first hand grip portion 22c and the second hand grip portion 22d are formed to a degree that the human finger can enter, and are disposed at a position on the upstream side that can form a wall for the finger to grasp. In other words, the first hand grip portion 22c and the second hand grip portion 22d, which are the grip portions, are disposed in the dust collecting unit 22 corresponding to the positions of the first finger insertion portion 16c and the second finger insertion portion 16d as the cutout portions. The side surface is formed in a concave shape toward the inside of the dust collecting unit 22.

As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the humidifying unit 24 has a humidifying filter 24a and a water storage container 24b for storing water. The humidification filter 24a is formed in a disk shape. The humidifying filter 24a is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft in a state where a part thereof is immersed in water stored in the water storage container 24b. The humidification filter 24a is rotated by a motor (not shown) to absorb moisture.

In addition, the dust collection capability that the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b can exert can be realized by one electronic dust collector. However, at this time, the weight of the electronic dust collector is larger than the weight (for example, about 1 kg) which can be held by a human finger and attached to the electronic dust collector 1 (for example, about 1 kg). Therefore, there is a treatment of the electronic dust collector (relative to the attachment and detachment of the main body portion 11) Industry, etc.) The possibility of difficulty. Therefore, the air cleaner 1 of the present embodiment includes two electronic dust collectors of the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b.

The storage method of the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electronic dust collector 22b inside the main body portion 11 and the attachment and detachment method with respect to the main body portion 11 will be described later.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the deodorizing unit 23 has a deodorizing filter 23a and a heating portion 23f. Although not illustrated, the deodorizing filter 23a has a disk-shaped base material having a porous structure such as a corrugated structure or a honeycomb structure. The wave structure has, for example, a plate member that is alternately stacked and a curved member that is continuously curved in a wave shape. The substrate is provided with a catalyst layer that adsorbs and decomposes the odor component.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the heating portion 23f includes a PTC heater 23b, two heat dissipation plates 23c, two heat insulators 23d, and two casings 23e. The PTC heater 23b is attached to the heat dissipation plate 23c disposed on the front surface side of the main body portion of the two heat dissipation plates 23c, and heats the two heat dissipation plates 23c. Each of the two heat dissipation plates 23c is a metal plate having a substantially triangular shape. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the heat dissipation plate 23c is disposed to cover only a part of the deodorizing filter 23a. The two heat radiating plates 23c are in contact with each other in the vicinity of the central portion of the deodorizing filter 23a or on the outer diameter side of the deodorizing filter 23a. Therefore, not only the heat radiating plate 23c disposed on the front surface side of the main body is heated by the PTC heater 23b, but also the heat radiating plate 23c disposed on the back side of the main body is heated. The heat insulator 23d is disposed to cover the PTC heater 23b and the heat sink 23c. The heat insulator 23d suppresses heat from being diffused to the outside from the PTC heater 23b and the heat radiating plate 23c. The casing 23e has a shape capable of holding the PTC heater 23b, the heat radiating plate 23c, and the heat insulator 23d.

Thus, the deodorizing filter 23a has a porous structure, and the heating portion 23f has a structure that covers only a part of the deodorizing filter 23a. That is, the deodorizing filter 23a is disposed such that a part thereof is exposed in the air duct 10. Therefore, the air resistance of the deodorizing filter 23a is small.

When the deodorizing ability of the deodorizing filter 23a is regenerated, the two heat radiating plates 23c are heated by the PTC heater 23b, thereby heating a part of the deodorizing filter 23a covered by the two heat radiating plates 23c. When the deodorizing filter 23a is rotated by the motor (not shown) and the deodorizing filter 23a is heated, the decomposition of the odor component adsorbed on the deodorizing filter 23a is promoted. Thereby, the deodorizing ability of the deodorizing filter 23a is regenerated. Further, instead of rotating the deodorizing filter 23a, the heat dissipation plate 23c may be moved to heat the deodorizing filter 23a.

Further, the deodorizing unit 23 may not have the above configuration. The deodorizing unit 23 may not include a heating means (the PTC heater 23b and the heat radiating plate 23c). At this time, in place of the catalyst layer, the deodorizing filter of the deodorizing unit 23 includes an adsorbing material of an odor component such as activated carbon and a base material to which the adsorbing material is added. In this case, when the adsorption capacity of the deodorizing unit 23 is lowered, the deodorizing energy of the deodorizing unit 23 can be restored by replacing it with a new deodorizing filter. force.

The humidifying unit 24 has a humidifying filter 24a and a water storage container 24b for storing water. The humidification filter 24a is formed in a circular plate shape. The humidifying filter 24a is immersed in the water stored in the water storage container 24b in a state where it is immersed in the water stored in the water storage container 24b, and is rotatably supported by the rotating shaft. The humidification filter 24a sucks moisture by rotating by a motor (not shown).

Further, the humidifying unit 24 may not have the above configuration. Instead of the humidification filter 24a, the humidification unit 24 may include a humidification filter that absorbs moisture by capillary action.

The blower 25 has a turbo fan 25a and a fan motor 25b. The turbo fan 25a is formed of a synthetic resin material and is connected to the output shaft of the fan motor 25b. The fan motor 25b is a motor of a variable speed type. The turbine fan 25a is also rotated by rotating the fan motor 25b. By the rotation of the turbo fan 25a, air flows into the interior of the air cleaner 1, and air flows out from the inside of the air cleaner 1.

In the air cleaner 1 having the configuration described above, when the user operates the operation unit 15 to start the operation of the air cleaner 1, the blower 25 is driven, and the first electronic dust collector 22a and the second electrons to the dust collecting unit 22 are started. The dust collector 22b is energized. Further, the humidification filter 24a of the humidification unit 24 starts to rotate. After the blower 25 is driven, the air is sucked from the upper surface. The right side suction port 13b and the left side surface suction port 13c are sucked into the inside of the main body portion 11.

The air sucked into the inside of the main body portion 11 flows as follows.

(1) In the air duct 10, the lower portion of the deodorizing unit 23 and the upper portion of the humidifying unit 24 are disposed so as to overlap each other in the front-rear direction, and the air is humidified according to the coarse filter 21 → the dust collecting unit 22 → the deodorizing unit 23 → humidifying The sequence of units 24 flows.

(2) In the air passage 10, the lower portion of the deodorizing unit 23 and the upper portion of the humidifying unit 24 do not overlap in the front-rear direction, and the air is in the order of the coarse filter 21 → the dust collecting unit 22 → the deodorizing unit 23, Or the order of the coarse filter 21 → the dust collecting unit 22 → the humidifying unit 24 flows. Then, air is blown out from the upper surface air outlet 14a, the right side air outlet 14b, and the left side air outlet 14c to the room where the air cleaner 1 is installed.

As described above, when the air passes through the duct 10 inside the air cleaner 1, the dust and the pollen are removed by the strainer 21 and the energized dust collecting unit 22. Further, the odor component in the air is removed by the deodorizing unit 23. Moreover, the air is humidified by the humidifying unit 24. Further, as described above, the dust collecting unit 22 is disposed on the upstream side of the deodorizing unit 23. Therefore, the air that flows into the deodorizing unit 23 is air that removes dust, pollen, or the like. Therefore, the deodorizing filter 23a of the deodorizing unit 23 is suppressed from being clogged with dust, pollen or the like.
