Abstract
Description
図1を参照して、本発明に基づく実施の形態1における除湿機101について説明する。図1は、除湿機101の構造を概念的に示したものであり、実際の各部の寸法比や位置関係はこのとおりとは限らない。除湿機101は、水分を吸収しうる第1の状態と、前記第1の状態のときに吸収した水分を放出する第2の状態とを有し、外部からの刺激により前記第1の状態から前記第2の状態に変化し、かつ、前記刺激がなくなったときには前記第1の状態に戻る性質を有する高分子ゲル吸湿材料による吸湿材2と、外部から取り込んだ空気を吸湿材2に触れさせる外気流供給部4と、吸湿材2に気流を当てることなく前記刺激を与える刺激付与部5とを備える。
図2~図5を参照して、本発明に基づく実施の形態2における除湿機102について説明する。除湿機102の斜視図を図2に示し、断面図を図3に示す。除湿機102は、空気入口11と空気出口12とを有する筐体1を備え、筐体1の内部に吸湿部20を備えている。図3に示すように、吸湿部20の下方には斜面14が設けられている。斜面14は、吸湿部20から排出される水を受けて水出口15に集めることができるようになっている。水出口15の下方には水受け容器7が配置されている。
図6~図7を参照して、本発明に基づく実施の形態3における除湿機103について説明する。除湿機103の模式的な斜視図を図6に示す。除湿機103は、吸湿部21を備える。吸湿部21は水平面内に延在する円板状の部材である。吸湿部21はモータによって回転することができる。吸湿部21の中心軸は鉛直方向である。吸湿部21の部分拡大断面図を図7に示す。吸湿部21はハニカム状となっており、厚み方向に貫通する多数の貫通孔9を有する。吸湿部21は、吸湿材2からなる部分を含む。吸湿材2は、貫通孔9の内面に露出している。
(付記1-1)
前記吸湿部は円筒状部材の少なくとも一部に配列されており、前記円筒状部材は中心軸のまわりに回転可能であり、前記外気流供給部は、前記円筒状部材の外周が描く軌道によって規定される円のうち第1の部位において前記吸湿部に前記空気を当てるものとなっており、前記刺激付与部は、前記円のうち第1の部位とは異なる第2の部位において前記吸湿部に前記刺激を与える、上述のいずれかに記載の除湿機。
前記吸湿部は、前記中心軸が上下方向となるように配置されている、付記1に記載の除湿機。
前記吸湿部は、厚み方向に貫通する貫通孔を有するハニカム状となっている、付記1または2に記載の除湿機。
図8~図11を参照して、本発明に基づく実施の形態4における除湿機104について説明する。除湿機104の模式的な断面図を図8および図9に示す。除湿機104の基本的な構成は、実施の形態2で説明した除湿機102と共通する。除湿機104は、内部に、吸湿部21の代わりに吸湿部22を備えている。除湿機104の内部において吸湿部22は、図10に示すように複数の吸湿部22が配置されている。複数の吸湿部22の各々は板状部材である。複数の吸湿部22は互いに間隙10をあけて配置されている。吸湿部22や間隙10の方向は、実施の形態2で説明した吸湿部20におけるものと同様である。
図12を参照して、本発明に基づく実施の形態5における除湿機105について説明する。図12は、除湿機106の模式的な断面図である。除湿機105は、筐体1を備える。筐体1は、上方に空気入口11および空気入口31を有し、側方に空気出口12を有する。除湿機105は、円板状かつハニカム状の吸湿部21と、吸湿部21を回転させるモータ16とを、筐体1の内部に備える。吸湿部21の詳細な構造は、実施の形態3で説明したのと同様である。
図13~図15を参照して、本発明に基づく実施の形態6における除湿機106について説明する。除湿機106の模式的な断面図を図13に示す。除湿機106は、筐体1を備える。筐体1は、上方に空気入口11および空気入口31を有する。除湿機106は、複数の円板状の吸湿部23を、筐体1の内部に備える。複数の吸湿部23は、図14に示すように、中心軸を共通としながらも互いに離隔するように重ねられた状態で保持されている。すなわち、吸湿部23同士の間には間隙10が設けられている。1枚の吸湿部23の部分拡大断面図を図15に示す。吸湿部23は平板状の基材13とその表面に形成された吸湿材2とを含む。ここでは、吸湿材2が基材13の上面に形成された例を示しているが、吸湿材2は基材13の上面ではなく下面に形成されていてもよい。吸湿材2は、基材13の上下両面ともに形成されていてもよい。
なお、本発明の考え方は、除湿機の他に加湿機、製水機としても利用可能である。
