Description

携帯型送風装置Portable blower
 本発明は、携帯可能な筐体内に送風ファンを備えた携帯型送風装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a portable blower provided with a blower fan in a portable casing.
 従来の携帯型送風装置は特許文献1に開示されている。この携帯型送風装置は携帯可能な薄箱状の筐体の背面に吸込口を開口し、前面に吹出口を開口する。筐体内には吸込口と吹出口とを連結する空気通路が設けられ、空気通路内に軸流ファンから成る送風ファンが配される。また、筐体の側面には回動自在のスタンドが設けられる。スタンドを回動して卓上の設置面に当接させると、スタンドの支持によって筐体を卓上に立設することができる。 A conventional portable blower is disclosed in Patent Document 1. In this portable blower, a suction port is opened on the back surface of a portable thin box-shaped housing, and an air outlet is opened on the front surface. An air passage that connects the suction port and the air outlet is provided in the housing, and a blower fan including an axial fan is disposed in the air passage. Further, a rotatable stand is provided on the side surface of the housing. When the stand is rotated and brought into contact with the installation surface of the table, the case can be set up on the table by supporting the stand.
 スタンドにより筐体を卓上の設置面に立設した状態で送風ファンを駆動すると、吸込口から外気が空気通路内に流入する。この時、筐体の背面が設置面に対向して傾斜して配され、前面の吹出口から使用者の頭部等に向けて斜め上方に空気流が送出される。これにより、屋外及び屋内で手軽に涼しさを得ることができる。 When the blower fan is driven in a state where the casing stands on the installation surface of the table by the stand, outside air flows into the air passage from the suction port. At this time, the rear surface of the casing is inclined to face the installation surface, and an air flow is sent obliquely upward from the front outlet toward the user's head and the like. Thereby, coolness can be obtained easily outdoors and indoors.

 以下に本発明の実施形態を図1から図3を参照して説明する。図1は本発明の携帯型送風装置1を正面から見た外観図である。携帯型送風装置1は、後述する送風ファン17(図6を参照)を収納する扁平な筐体2を備えている。筐体2の周側面には、送風ファン17が空気を吸い込む吸込口6と、吸い込んだ空気を吹き出す吹出口7とが形成されている。筐体2は、一例として、縦100mm×横80mm×厚さ30mm程度の携帯可能な大きさに形成されており、正面視がほぼ矩形の薄箱状としてある。図1において、後で詳細を説明する吹出口7は筐体2の上端部、吸込口6は、図1の状態では隠れているが下端部に設けられる。この吸込口6は、図2に示すように背面側の下部に設けられている。 Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. FIG. 1 is an external view of a portable blower 1 according to the present invention as seen from the front. The portable blower 1 includes a flat housing 2 that houses a blower fan 17 (see FIG. 6) described later. On the peripheral side surface of the housing 2, a suction port 6 through which the blower fan 17 sucks air and a blower port 7 through which the sucked air is blown out are formed. As an example, the housing 2 is formed in a portable size of about 100 mm in length, 80 mm in width, and 30 mm in thickness, and has a thin box shape with a substantially rectangular front view. In FIG. 1, the air outlet 7, which will be described in detail later, is provided at the upper end portion of the housing 2, and the suction port 6 is hidden at the lower end portion in the state of FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 2, the suction port 6 is provided in the lower part on the back side.
 また、筐体2を構成する前面ケース2aには、表示部4が設けられる。表示部4はLED等の表示手段を用いて携帯型送風装置1の運転情報を表示する。また、LED又は液晶等の表示手段を用いて装置の運転状況、運転時間、累積運転時間及び電池の残量表示をすることも好ましい。 In addition, the display unit 4 is provided on the front case 2a constituting the housing 2. The display unit 4 displays operation information of the portable blower 1 using a display unit such as an LED. It is also preferable to display the operation status of the apparatus, the operation time, the accumulated operation time, and the remaining battery level using display means such as LED or liquid crystal.
 次に図2は、本発明の携帯型送風装置1を背面から見た外観図であり、脚3を閉じた状態を示している。前面ケース2aに対向する背面ケース2bは、前面ケース2aと勘合して外観部を成す筐体2を構成する。この背面ケース2bの中央部には蓋2gがあり、該蓋2gを背面ケース2bより取外すことで、内蔵するイオン発生装置18及び電池19(図6を参照)を交換可能に覆っている。 Next, FIG. 2 is an external view of the portable air blower 1 of the present invention as seen from the back, showing a state in which the legs 3 are closed. The rear case 2b facing the front case 2a constitutes a housing 2 that forms an exterior part by fitting with the front case 2a. There is a lid 2g at the center of the back case 2b, and the lid 2g is removed from the back case 2b to cover the built-in ion generator 18 and battery 19 (see FIG. 6) in a replaceable manner.
 脚3は吹出口7と吸込口6とを結ぶ方向を長手方向とする本体中央部で筐体2の両側面部に枢支された概ねコの字型の棒材で、筐体2の背面ケース2bに溝状の凹部として形成した収納部2fを設けて収納される。脚3は不使用時には、上下方向の下部に収納されている。筐体2の上下方向のほぼ中央左右に脚3の回動軸を設けたことで、脚3は収納状態から見て180°未満の角度で回動することが可能である。脚3は複数の開き角度で保持することが可能であり、脚3を開いた状態で脚3の支持によって筐体2を卓上の設置面に立設して携帯送風装置1を設置することができる。従って、脚3は携帯送風装置1を卓上の設置面に設置する際に筐体2を支持する支持部を構成する。 The leg 3 is a substantially U-shaped bar member pivotally supported on both side surfaces of the housing 2 at the center of the main body with the direction connecting the air outlet 7 and the suction port 6 as the longitudinal direction. A storage portion 2f formed as a groove-shaped recess is provided in 2b for storage. The leg 3 is stored in the lower part in the vertical direction when not in use. By providing the pivot shafts of the legs 3 at substantially the center left and right in the vertical direction of the housing 2, the legs 3 can be rotated at an angle of less than 180 ° when viewed from the stored state. The legs 3 can be held at a plurality of opening angles, and the portable air blower 1 can be installed by standing the casing 2 on the installation surface of the table by supporting the legs 3 with the legs 3 open. it can. Therefore, the leg 3 constitutes a support portion that supports the housing 2 when the portable air blower 1 is installed on the installation surface of the tabletop.
 筐体2の下部であって背面ケース2bの下端には、収納部2fが背面ケース2bの横幅方向に連続しており、収納部2fと一体として連続するように外気の吸込口6を形成する。吸込口6には塵埃の吸い込みを防ぐネットが貼付けされる。吸込口6は脚3を開いた場合も収納した場合も背面ケース2b側の外部から常に見える状態であり、脚3の開閉に影響されずに外気を吸い込むことが出来る。 At the lower end of the housing 2 and at the lower end of the back case 2b, a storage portion 2f is continuous in the width direction of the back case 2b, and an outside air suction port 6 is formed so as to be integrated with the storage portion 2f. . A net is attached to the suction port 6 to prevent dust from being sucked. The suction port 6 is always visible from the outside on the back case 2b side when the leg 3 is opened and stored, and can suck in the outside air without being affected by the opening and closing of the leg 3.
 筐体2を構成する前面ケース2a、背面ケース2bは上下方向及び左右方向にわたって曲面で形成されており、通常の筐体の稜線に当たる部分には大きな半径を持つ曲面が与えられている。従って、携帯型送風装置1は通常の直方体を成す筐体のように明確な稜線を持たない。この構成により、筐体2は中央部の厚み方向が大きく膨らんだ形状を成している。 The front case 2a and the back case 2b constituting the housing 2 are formed with curved surfaces in the vertical direction and the left-right direction, and a curved surface having a large radius is given to a portion corresponding to a ridge line of a normal housing. Therefore, the portable air blower 1 does not have a clear ridge line unlike a normal cuboid casing. With this configuration, the housing 2 has a shape in which the thickness direction of the center portion is greatly expanded.
 図3は本発明の携帯型送風装置1を上面から見た外観図であり、前面ケース2a及び背面ケース2bが形成する外観部の上面に吹出口7が開口する。開口には吹き出し格子2dが設けられ、その開口部である吹出口7の中心は前面ケース2aの方向に大きく偏って形成される。前面ケース2aと背面ケース2bとは、筐体2の厚さ方向の中心線で合わせられ、各々のふくらみ高さは一例として約15mmである。従って、吹出口7の中心は厚さ方向の中心線よりも前面側になる。 FIG. 3 is an external view of the portable air blower 1 of the present invention as viewed from above, and an air outlet 7 is opened on the upper surface of the external part formed by the front case 2a and the back case 2b. The opening is provided with a blowing grid 2d, and the center of the outlet 7 which is the opening is formed so as to be largely deviated toward the front case 2a. The front case 2a and the back case 2b are aligned at the center line in the thickness direction of the housing 2, and each bulge height is about 15 mm as an example. Therefore, the center of the blower outlet 7 is on the front side of the center line in the thickness direction.
 上記筐体2は、半径の大きな曲面で形成されること、及び吹出口7が前面ケース2a側に偏っていることによって、後に説明する脚3を使用せずに携帯型送風装置1を卓上等に直接置いた場合、又は首から吊るして使用した場合に、卓又は人体等との接触面と吹出口7中心部との間に距離L(図12参照)が確保され、気流の送出が良好になされる。 The casing 2 is formed with a curved surface having a large radius, and the outlet 7 is biased toward the front case 2a, so that the portable blower 1 can be placed on a table without using the legs 3 described later. When placed directly on the head or suspended from the neck, a distance L (see FIG. 12) is ensured between the contact surface with the table or the human body and the center of the air outlet 7, and air flow is good. To be made.
 図1において携帯型送風装置1の右側面の側面カバー2cには、電源スイッチ5が設けられる。電源スイッチ5を[ON]の位置にすると、送風ファン17、イオン発生装置18に通電され運転が開始される。表示部4には運転表示がされるとともに、イオン発生装置18のイオン発生状況、電池19の残量状況、等の運転情報が表示される。 In FIG. 1, a power switch 5 is provided on a side cover 2 c on the right side of the portable blower 1. When the power switch 5 is set to the [ON] position, the blower fan 17 and the ion generator 18 are energized to start operation. The display unit 4 displays driving information and driving information such as the ion generation status of the ion generator 18 and the remaining battery level status of the battery 19.
 図4は本発明の携帯型送風装置1の背面の蓋2g、イオン発生装置18及び電池19を外した構造図である。背面ケース2bは、蓋2gが着脱可能に設けられており、この蓋2gと対応する内部は、前面ケース2a側に凹んでおり、吹出口7近くにイオン発生装置18を収納する隔離室22b、その隣に電池19を収納する隔離室22cが形成されている。イオン発生装置18を収納する隔離室22bの背面ケース2b底壁には、イオン発生装置18が発生したイオンを放出する穴221a、221bが設けられている。イオン放出穴221a、221bには図7に示すイオン発生装置18のイオン放出部18a、18bと各々対応するようにイオン発生装置18が嵌め込まれる。隔離室22bの背面ケース2b底壁は、後に説明する空気通路8の一部を構成する。 FIG. 4 is a structural diagram in which the back cover 2g, the ion generator 18 and the battery 19 are removed from the portable blower 1 of the present invention. The back case 2b is provided with a lid 2g so as to be detachable, and the interior corresponding to the lid 2g is recessed to the front case 2a side, and an isolation chamber 22b for storing the ion generator 18 near the blowout port 7, Next to this, an isolation chamber 22c for storing the battery 19 is formed. Holes 221a and 221b for discharging the ions generated by the ion generator 18 are provided in the bottom wall of the rear case 2b of the isolation chamber 22b that houses the ion generator 18. The ion generator 18 is fitted in the ion discharge holes 221a and 221b so as to correspond to the ion discharge portions 18a and 18b of the ion generator 18 shown in FIG. The bottom wall of the rear case 2b of the isolation chamber 22b constitutes a part of the air passage 8 described later.
 上記隔離室22b、22cには、それぞれの端子部15aが各々露出しており、図7に示すイオン発生装置18の端子18dが、隔離室22b側に露出した端子部15aと接触する。また、図8に示す電池19の本体部19a側面にある端子19bが、隔離室22cに露出した端子部15aと接触して制御基板15(図6を参照)に給電する。 In the isolation chambers 22b and 22c, the respective terminal portions 15a are exposed, and the terminal 18d of the ion generator 18 shown in FIG. 7 contacts the terminal portion 15a exposed to the isolation chamber 22b side. Further, the terminal 19b on the side of the main body 19a of the battery 19 shown in FIG. 8 contacts the terminal 15a exposed in the isolation chamber 22c and supplies power to the control board 15 (see FIG. 6).
 図5は本発明の携帯型送風装置1の前面ケース2a、送風ファン17及び仕切りパネル22(図6に図示している)を外した構造図である。背面ケース2bに設けた隔離室22bの底壁には空気通路8側の面に板状の気流ガイド221cが筐体2の内側に向かって3枚設置される。この気流ガイド221cは送風ファン17がターボファンであるために矢印A2に示すように送出した気流(図6を参照)が紙面の右上方向に偏ることを修正する効果がある。気流の送出方向に対して気流ガイド221cの傾きが交差するように構成されている。また、図5には、吹出口7の内側にシャッター7aが示してある。シャッター7aは電源スイッチ5と連動して吹出口7の開閉を行う。 FIG. 5 is a structural view in which the front case 2a, the blower fan 17, and the partition panel 22 (shown in FIG. 6) of the portable blower 1 of the present invention are removed. Three plate-shaped airflow guides 221c are installed on the bottom wall of the isolation chamber 22b provided in the back case 2b on the surface on the air passage 8 side toward the inside of the housing 2. This airflow guide 221c has an effect of correcting that the airflow (see FIG. 6) sent out as shown by the arrow A2 is biased in the upper right direction of the page because the blower fan 17 is a turbo fan. The inclination of the airflow guide 221c intersects the airflow sending direction. In FIG. 5, a shutter 7 a is shown inside the air outlet 7. The shutter 7 a opens and closes the air outlet 7 in conjunction with the power switch 5.
 図6は図1の中心線A-Aで切断した本発明の携帯型送風装置1の内部構造を示す断面図である。図6に示すように、吸込口6及び吹出口7は送風ファン17の送風方向の前後両側に夫々位置してある。背面ケース2bに設けられる隔離室22b、22cの内側になる部分に携帯型送風装置1の制御回路を実装した制御基板15が取り付けられている。図4にも示すように各々の隔離室22b、22cに切欠き部が設けられており、制御基板15に設けた端子部15aが各々の切欠き部に嵌め込まれる。イオン発生装置18を収納する隔離室22bには2個の端子部15a、電池19を収納する隔離室22cには1個の端子部15aが各々接続可能な位置に設置される。隔離室22b、22cにそれぞれ収納されるイオン発生装置18及び電池19は端子部15aを介して制御基板15に接続される。本発明の制御基板15の外観模式図は図10に示される。制御基板15は両面に部品が実装されており、背面ケース2bと対向する面に端子部15aが実装される。 FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the internal structure of the portable blower 1 of the present invention cut along the center line AA of FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the suction port 6 and the blowout port 7 are located on both front and rear sides of the blower fan 17 in the blowing direction. A control board 15 on which the control circuit of the portable blower 1 is mounted is attached to the inside of the isolation chambers 22b and 22c provided in the back case 2b. As shown in FIG. 4, each of the isolation chambers 22 b and 22 c is provided with a notch, and a terminal portion 15 a provided on the control board 15 is fitted into each notch. Two terminal portions 15 a are installed in the isolation chamber 22 b for storing the ion generator 18, and one terminal portion 15 a is installed in the isolation chamber 22 c for storing the battery 19. The ion generator 18 and the battery 19 housed in the isolation chambers 22b and 22c, respectively, are connected to the control board 15 via the terminal portion 15a. A schematic external view of the control board 15 of the present invention is shown in FIG. Components are mounted on both sides of the control board 15, and a terminal portion 15a is mounted on the surface facing the back case 2b.
 続いて図7に本発明に使用するイオン発生装置18の外観模式図を示す。図8に本発明に使用する電池19の外観模式図を示す。隔離室22bに配されるイオン発生装置18は空気通路8に臨む複数のイオン放出部18a,18bを有している。各々のイオン放出部18a,18bには対向電極181と針状の放電電極182とが各々設けられる。イオン発生装置18の本体部分18cには高圧電気発生回路が内蔵されており、側面に設けられた端子18dより端子部15aを介して電池19から電力供給を受けて作動する。 Subsequently, FIG. 7 shows a schematic external view of the ion generator 18 used in the present invention. FIG. 8 shows a schematic external view of a battery 19 used in the present invention. The ion generator 18 disposed in the isolation chamber 22b has a plurality of ion emitting portions 18a and 18b facing the air passage 8. Each ion emission part 18a, 18b is provided with a counter electrode 181 and a needle-like discharge electrode 182, respectively. The main body portion 18c of the ion generator 18 has a built-in high-voltage electricity generation circuit, and operates by receiving power supply from the battery 19 through a terminal portion 15a from a terminal 18d provided on the side surface.
 高圧電気発生回路により放電電極182には交流波形又はインパルス波形から成る高電圧が印加される。前述のようにイオン発生装置18は複数の放電電極182を持ち、一の放電電極182には正電圧が印加され、電離により発生するイオンが空気中の水分と結合して主としてH+(H2O)mから成る正のクラスタイオンが形成される。他の放電電極182には負電圧が印加され、電離により発生するイオンが空気中の水分と結合して主としてO2 -(H2O)nから成る負のクラスタイオンが形成される。ここで、m、nは任意の自然数である。 A high voltage having an AC waveform or an impulse waveform is applied to the discharge electrode 182 by the high voltage electricity generation circuit. As described above, the ion generator 18 has a plurality of discharge electrodes 182, and a positive voltage is applied to one discharge electrode 182, and ions generated by ionization are combined with moisture in the air and mainly H + (H 2 O) Positive cluster ions consisting of m are formed. A negative voltage is applied to the other discharge electrode 182, and ions generated by ionization combine with moisture in the air to form negative cluster ions mainly composed of O 2 (H 2 O) n. Here, m and n are arbitrary natural numbers.
 正イオンH+(H2O)m及び負イオンO2 -(H2O)nは空気中の同時に送出されることによって空気中の浮遊菌及び臭い成分の表面で凝集してこれらを取り囲む。そして、式(1)~(3)に示すように、活性種である[・OH](水酸基ラジカル)及びH22(過酸化水素)を浮遊菌及び臭い成分等の表面上で生成してこれらを破壊する。 The positive ions H + (H 2 O) m and the negative ions O 2 (H 2 O) n are simultaneously sent in the air to aggregate and surround them on the surface of airborne bacteria and odor components. Then, as shown in the formulas (1) to (3), the active species [.OH] (hydroxyl radical) and H 2 O 2 (hydrogen peroxide) are generated on the surface of airborne bacteria and odor components. Destroy them.
 H+(H2O)m+O2 -(H2O)n→・OH+1/2O2+(m+n)H2O  ・・・(1)
 H+(H2O)m+H+(H2O)m’+O2 -(H2O)n+O2 -(H2O)n’
  → 2・OH+O2+(m+m'+n+n')H2O         ・・・(2)
 H+(H2O)m+H+(H2O)m’+O2 -(H2O)n+O2 -(H2O)n’
  → H22+O2+(m+m'+n+n')H2O          ・・・(3)
 上記式において、m’、n’は任意の自然数である。
H + (H 2 O) m + O 2 (H 2 O) n → OH + 1 / 2O 2 + (m + n) H 2 O (1)
H + (H 2 O) m + H + (H 2 O) m '+ O 2 - (H 2 O) n + O 2 - (H 2 O) n'
→ 2 OH + O 2 + (m + m ′ + n + n ′) H 2 O (2)
H + (H 2 O) m + H + (H 2 O) m '+ O 2 - (H 2 O) n + O 2 - (H 2 O) n'
→ H 2 O 2 + O 2 + (m + m ′ + n + n ′) H 2 O (3)
In the above formula, m ′ and n ′ are arbitrary natural numbers.
 また、制御基板15と前面ケース2aとの間には送風ファン17が設けられる。送風ファン17は背面ケース2bから立設するボスに防振ゴムを介して止められる。図9は本発明に使用する送風ファン17の外観模式図である。図9に示すように送風ファン17は両面吸い込み型のターボファンであり、ハウジング17bの軸方向に開口する2つの吸気口17a、17a(一方は下面)は筐体2の厚さ方向に各々配される。ハウジング17bは厚みの薄い概ね直方体形状であり、一側面に送出口17cが設けられ、他の三側面は蓋がされている。 Further, a blower fan 17 is provided between the control board 15 and the front case 2a. The blower fan 17 is stopped by a boss standing from the back case 2b via a vibration isolating rubber. FIG. 9 is a schematic external view of the blower fan 17 used in the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the blower fan 17 is a double-sided suction type turbo fan, and two intake ports 17 a and 17 a (one on the lower surface) opened in the axial direction of the housing 17 b are arranged in the thickness direction of the housing 2. Is done. The housing 17b has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with a small thickness, a delivery port 17c is provided on one side surface, and the other three side surfaces are covered.
 また、前面ケース2aの内側には送風ファン17と吹出口7とを連結する仕切パネル22により覆われて空気通路8が形成される。本発明の仕切りパネル22の外観模式図は図11に示される。仕切りパネル22の開口部222bには図9の送風ファン17が挿入される。この時に送風ファン17の送出口17cが、送風ガイド221cの方向になるように配置される。仕切りパネル22は概ねコの字形状の断面を有する壁体で、隔離室22bの底壁と組み合わされて空気通路8を形成する。空気通路8内には、先に説明した気流ガイド221cが突出して設置され、送風ファン17からの気流を吹出口7に導く。 In addition, an air passage 8 is formed inside the front case 2a by being covered with a partition panel 22 that connects the blower fan 17 and the outlet 7. FIG. 11 shows a schematic external view of the partition panel 22 of the present invention. The blower fan 17 of FIG. 9 is inserted into the opening 222b of the partition panel 22. At this time, the outlet 17c of the blower fan 17 is arranged in the direction of the blower guide 221c. The partition panel 22 is a wall body having a substantially U-shaped cross section, and is combined with the bottom wall of the isolation chamber 22 b to form the air passage 8. In the air passage 8, the airflow guide 221 c described above protrudes and is installed to guide the airflow from the blower fan 17 to the air outlet 7.
 このような構造において、本発明の携帯型送風装置1を運転すると、送風ファン17は筐体2の吸込口6から矢印A1に示すように吸い込んだ空気を制御基板15と送風ファン17との隙間を通過する経路、及び前面ケース2aと送風ファン17との間に形成される隙間25を通過する経路の2つの経路を介して空気を供給する。送風に伴って一方の吸い込み経路は、制御基板15と隔離室22cとを経由し、制御基板15と隔離室22cの底壁の各々を冷却するとともに間接的に電池19を冷却する。また、他方の吸い込み経路は、制御基板15の側方を通過して前面ケース2aとの隙間25に至り、制御基板15を冷却する。 In such a structure, when the portable blower 1 of the present invention is operated, the blower fan 17 sucks the air sucked from the suction port 6 of the housing 2 as indicated by the arrow A1 between the control board 15 and the blower fan 17. The air is supplied through two routes: a route passing through the front case 2a and a route passing through the gap 25 formed between the front case 2a and the blower fan 17. As the air is blown, one of the suction paths passes through the control board 15 and the isolation chamber 22c to cool each of the bottom walls of the control board 15 and the isolation chamber 22c and indirectly cool the battery 19. Further, the other suction path passes through the side of the control board 15 and reaches the gap 25 with the front case 2 a to cool the control board 15.
 また送風ファン17から矢印A2に示すように送出された空気は、空気通路8を流通するときに隔離室22bの底壁を冷却するとともに間接的にイオン発生装置18を冷却する。前述のように隔離室22bの底壁には送出した気流を整流するための気流ガイド221cが空気通路8に向かって設けられている。気流ガイド221cは、隔離室22bの底壁に立設された複数の板であり、隔離室22bの表面積を拡大する働きを果たし、隔離室22bの冷却を有意義に行わせる。 Also, the air sent from the blower fan 17 as shown by the arrow A2 cools the bottom wall of the isolation chamber 22b and indirectly cools the ion generator 18 when flowing through the air passage 8. As described above, the air flow guide 221 c for rectifying the sent air flow is provided on the bottom wall of the isolation chamber 22 b toward the air passage 8. The airflow guide 221c is a plurality of plates erected on the bottom wall of the isolation chamber 22b. The airflow guide 221c functions to increase the surface area of the isolation chamber 22b and significantly cools the isolation chamber 22b.
 次に脚3の構成について説明をする。脚3はヒンジ機構により筐体2に回動自在に枢支される。脚3のヒンジ機構は図面では省略をしたが、ギヤ及びバネを備えている。ラッチ機構として形成されたギヤはコの字形状の脚3の開放されている左右両端部に一体に設けられ、背面ケース2bの両側面に設けた貫通穴にから左右各々内部に挿入配置されて回転自在に支持される。ギヤは脚3の開放されている左右両端の軸部分の全周囲に複数の歯が形成される。ギヤの隣接する歯と歯の間にシャフトが配される。バネは一方端をシャフトに、他方端を背面ケース2bに立設するボスに掛着され、シャフトをギヤに押しつける方向に付勢する付勢手段を構成する。 Next, the configuration of the leg 3 will be described. The leg 3 is pivotally supported by the housing 2 by a hinge mechanism. Although the hinge mechanism of the leg 3 is omitted in the drawing, it includes a gear and a spring. Gears formed as a latch mechanism are integrally provided at the left and right ends of the U-shaped leg 3 and are inserted into the left and right through through holes provided on both sides of the back case 2b. It is supported rotatably. The gear is formed with a plurality of teeth around the entire periphery of the left and right shaft portions where the legs 3 are open. A shaft is disposed between adjacent teeth of the gear. One end of the spring is hooked to a shaft and the other end is hooked to a boss standing on the rear case 2b, and constitutes a biasing means for biasing the shaft in a direction of pressing the shaft against the gear.
 脚3の回動によりギヤが一体に回動し、バネの付勢力に抗してシャフトがギヤの歯先の方向に移動する。そして、歯間をシャフトが周方向に相対移動することで、脚3の開閉角度を規制することが出来、筐体2の収納部2fの形状と相まって脚3を開度180゜未満の適当な角度に配することができる。これにより、脚3を卓上の設置面上に置いた際に、筐体2の背面ケース2bが卓上の設置面に対向して傾斜する姿勢を保つことが可能である。 Rotating the leg 3 causes the gear to rotate integrally, and the shaft moves in the direction of the gear tip against the biasing force of the spring. Then, the relative movement of the shaft between the teeth in the circumferential direction allows the opening / closing angle of the leg 3 to be restricted, and coupled with the shape of the storage portion 2f of the housing 2, the leg 3 can be moved to an appropriate angle less than 180 °. Can be arranged at an angle. Thereby, when the leg 3 is placed on the installation surface of the table, it is possible to maintain a posture in which the back case 2b of the housing 2 is inclined to face the installation surface of the table.
 また、脚3を大きく開いて筐体2の背面を卓上に向けた場合には、携帯型送風装置1の姿勢を低く保ち、30°から40°程度の仰角で気流を吹き出すことが出来る。また、さらに、脚3を狭く開いて吹出口7が低くなるように設置すると、気流を下向きに吹き出すことが出来、ベッドのヘッドボード(ベッド頭部にある板)上に設置して就寝時の使用者に気流を送ることが出来る。 In addition, when the legs 3 are wide open and the back surface of the housing 2 is directed to the tabletop, the portable air blower 1 can be kept in a low posture, and airflow can be blown out at an elevation angle of about 30 ° to 40 °. Furthermore, if the legs 3 are opened narrowly so that the air outlet 7 is lowered, the airflow can be blown downward, and it is installed on the bed headboard (plate on the bed head). Airflow can be sent to the user.
 次に、吸込口6について説明する。吸込口6は図2、図4~図6に示すように、背面ケース2の下端部に形成されている。背面ケース2bの下端部、及び両側端部には、脚3を収納するための溝状に繋がる凹部形状の収納部2fが形成されている。これにより、脚3は、収納されたときに、背面ケース2bの外観を損なうことがないよう外壁面に沿うようになる。 Next, the suction port 6 will be described. The suction port 6 is formed in the lower end portion of the back case 2 as shown in FIGS. A recess-shaped storage portion 2f connected to a groove shape for storing the leg 3 is formed at the lower end portion and both end portions of the back case 2b. Thereby, the leg 3 comes to follow an outer wall surface so that the external appearance of the back case 2b may not be impaired when accommodated.
 また、背面ケース2bには、先に説明した隔離室22b、22cに対向する部分に、該隔離室22b、22cを露出しイオン発生装置18、電池19を交換できるように蓋2gが着脱可能に設けられている。背面ケース2bに蓋2gを取り付けた状態でも、収納部2fに収納された脚3の端面と蓋2gの下端面との間に隙間を形成し、脚3を収納部2fに収納しても(図5参照)、吸込口6を閉塞せず、吸込口6に吸い込まれる気流を常に確保するようにしている。さらに、該隙間は脚3の横幅一杯に渡って設けられ、脚3を開いた状態であっても閉じた状態であっても吸込口6の開口面積は変わらない。ここで、上記吸込口6は、背面ケース2bの下端部であって溝状の収納部2fの底部に連続して設けている。そのため、図6に示すように吸込口6は背面ケース2bの設置面に対して一段凹んだ部分に形成されることになる。そのため、図6に示すように蓋2gを背面ケース2bの設置面に載置しても、吸込口6を閉塞することがない。そのため、吸込口6に吸い込まれる気流は常に確保できる。このことによって、脚3の使用時も不使用時も送風ファン17の送風性能が確保される。 In addition, a lid 2g can be attached to and detached from the rear case 2b so that the isolation chambers 22b and 22c are exposed at the portion facing the isolation chambers 22b and 22c described above so that the ion generator 18 and the battery 19 can be replaced. Is provided. Even when the lid 2g is attached to the back case 2b, a gap is formed between the end surface of the leg 3 stored in the storage portion 2f and the lower end surface of the lid 2g, and the leg 3 is stored in the storage portion 2f ( As shown in FIG. 5, the air inlet 6 is not blocked, and the airflow sucked into the air inlet 6 is always secured. Further, the gap is provided over the full width of the leg 3, and the opening area of the suction port 6 does not change even when the leg 3 is opened or closed. Here, the suction port 6 is provided continuously at the lower end of the back case 2b and at the bottom of the groove-shaped storage portion 2f. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the suction port 6 is formed in a portion that is recessed by one step with respect to the installation surface of the back case 2b. Therefore, even if the lid 2g is placed on the installation surface of the back case 2b as shown in FIG. 6, the suction port 6 is not blocked. Therefore, the airflow sucked into the suction port 6 can always be secured. As a result, the blowing performance of the blower fan 17 is ensured both when the leg 3 is used and when it is not used.
 このような構成において、図6を参照しながら動作状態を説明する。電源スイッチ5を[ON]にすると運転が開始される。送風ファン17の動作によって、背面ケース2bに設けた吸込口6から矢印A1に示すように筐体2の内部に空気が送られる。送風ファン17を通過して空気通路8に流通した空気は矢印A2に示すように空気通路8内を流通し、イオン発生装置18で発生したイオンが含まれる。そして、矢印A3に示すように吹出口7から上方の使用者の頭部等に向けて正イオン及び負イオンを含む空気流が吹き出される。これにより、屋外及び屋内で手軽に涼しさを得ることができるとともに、使用者の周囲の除菌及び臭い除去を行うことができる。 In such a configuration, an operation state will be described with reference to FIG. When the power switch 5 is turned [ON], the operation is started. By the operation of the blower fan 17, air is sent from the suction port 6 provided in the back case 2 b to the inside of the housing 2 as indicated by an arrow A <b> 1. The air that has passed through the blower fan 17 and circulated in the air passage 8 circulates in the air passage 8 as indicated by an arrow A2, and includes ions generated by the ion generator 18. And as shown to arrow A3, the airflow containing a positive ion and a negative ion is blown out toward the upper user's head etc. from the blower outlet 7. FIG. Thereby, while being able to obtain coolness easily outdoors and indoors, disinfection around a user and odor removal can be performed.
 図12は本発明の携帯型送風装置1の使用状態を示す模式図である。本発明の携帯型送風装置1は筐体2の外部で背面ケース2bの上部にはネックストラップを取り付ける取付部2hが設けられ、ネックストラップを結び付けて携帯型送風装置1を使用者の首から吊り下げて携行することができる。ネックストラップを使用した状態では、図12に示すように、携帯型送風装置1が使用者の胸Sから上腹部辺りに位置するようにネックストラップの長さが設定されている。自明ではあるが、この時の携帯型送風装置1は背面ケース2bが使用者の胸Sに接触して吹出口7をほぼ真上に向けた姿勢である。携帯型送風装置1を使用者の首から吊り下げて携行した状態又は把持した状態で電源スイッチ5が入れられると、矢印A1に示すように、使用者と筐体2との隙間を介して外気が吸込口6に導かれる。そして、イオンを含む空気流が矢印A3に示すように吹出口7から上方に向けて送出される。 FIG. 12 is a schematic view showing a usage state of the portable blower 1 of the present invention. The portable blower 1 of the present invention is provided with a mounting portion 2h for attaching a neck strap outside the housing 2 and on the upper part of the rear case 2b, and the portable blower 1 is suspended from the neck of the user by connecting the neck strap. Can be carried down. In the state where the neck strap is used, as shown in FIG. 12, the length of the neck strap is set so that the portable blower 1 is positioned around the upper abdomen from the chest S of the user. Although it is self-evident, the portable blower 1 at this time is in a posture in which the back case 2b is in contact with the chest S of the user and the air outlet 7 is directed almost directly above. When the power switch 5 is turned on while the portable air blower 1 is suspended from the user's neck or held, the outside air passes through the gap between the user and the housing 2 as indicated by an arrow A1. Is guided to the suction port 6. And the airflow containing ion is sent upwards from the blower outlet 7 as shown by arrow A3.
 本発明の携帯型送風装置1は筐体2の背面側(背面ケース2b側)が使用者に接触するように考えられており、吹出口7が筐体2の厚さ方向の中心線よりも前面側(前面ケース2a側)に偏って形成されており、このような設置方法、使用方法が可能にされる。歩行時又は着席時では人の胸の位置に比べて、人の顔の位置の方が少し前方になるため、吹出口7が筐体2の前方に偏って配置されていることが優位に働く。また、吹き出し気流方向を上方で且つ前方にするための吹出口7の設置位置が、筐体2全体を大きな半径を有する曲面で形成することによって選択しやすくなる。これにより、筐体2の背面からみて吹出口中心部までの距離Lを吹出口7を筐体2の厚さ方向の中心線上に配置する時よりも長く採れ、気流の吹き出しが良好になる。従って、携帯型送風装置1の携行時においても涼しさを得ることができるとともに、正負イオンの働きにより使用者の周囲の除菌及び臭い除去を行うことができる。 The portable air blower 1 of the present invention is designed so that the back side (the back case 2b side) of the housing 2 is in contact with the user, and the air outlet 7 is more than the center line in the thickness direction of the housing 2. It is formed to be biased toward the front side (front case 2a side), and such an installation method and usage method are made possible. Since the position of the person's face is slightly forward compared to the position of the person's chest when walking or sitting, it is advantageous that the air outlet 7 is biased to the front of the housing 2. . Moreover, it becomes easy to select the installation position of the blower outlet 7 for making the blowing airflow direction upward and forward by forming the entire housing 2 with a curved surface having a large radius. As a result, the distance L from the rear surface of the housing 2 to the center of the air outlet can be longer than when the air outlet 7 is arranged on the center line in the thickness direction of the housing 2, and the air flow is improved. Therefore, coolness can be obtained even when the portable blower 1 is carried, and sterilization and odor removal around the user can be performed by the action of positive and negative ions.
 また、吹出口7には運転スイッチ5と連動して動作するシャッター7aを設けて、異物が侵入しないように配慮した。携帯型送風装置1を首からかけて使用する時には、吹出口7が上を向いていることが予測される。そのために、使用者が飲食をしたりすると食べ物の破片又は飲料がこぼれ落ちたりして、運悪く吹出口7内に落下することも考えられる。このような、不慮の出来事を未然に防ぐものである。 Also, a shutter 7a that operates in conjunction with the operation switch 5 is provided at the air outlet 7 so that foreign matter does not enter. When the portable blower 1 is used over the neck, it is predicted that the air outlet 7 faces upward. Therefore, when a user eats and drinks, a piece of food or a beverage may spill out and fall into the outlet 7 unfortunately. This is to prevent such unforeseen events.
 電源スイッチ5には裏面に背面ケース2bを貫通して突起が設けられており、この突起がシャッター7aのアーム(不図示)を操作することによりシャッター7aの位置が背面ケース2b側に移動させられる。送風時にはシャッター7aは背面ケース2bに設けられた隔離室22bの前方に移動して、通風を妨げないようにする。 The power switch 5 is provided with a protrusion on the back surface that penetrates the back case 2b. By operating the arm (not shown) of the shutter 7a, the protrusion 7 moves the position of the shutter 7a toward the back case 2b. . When blowing, the shutter 7a moves to the front of the isolation chamber 22b provided in the back case 2b so as not to block ventilation.
 以上の実施形態において、イオン発生装置18によって負イオンのみを放出してもよい。これにより、使用者のリラクゼーション効果を得ることができる。 In the above embodiment, only negative ions may be emitted by the ion generator 18. Thereby, a user's relaxation effect can be acquired.
 本発明によると、携帯可能な筐体内に送風ファンを備えた携帯型送風装置又は携帯型芳香器等に利用することができる。 According to the present invention, it can be used for a portable blower device or a portable aroma device provided with a blower fan in a portable casing.
