Description

スプレーノズルおよび該スプレーノズルを備えた加湿器Spray nozzle and humidifier equipped with the spray nozzle
 本発明は、スプレーノズルおよび該スプレーノズルを備えた加湿器に関し、水に空気を混合噴射して霧を発生させるスプレーノズルにおいて、少ない空気量で微細な霧を大量に発生させると共に、噴口に水滴が付着するのを防止し水垂れが発生しないスプレーノズルとするものである。 The present invention relates to a spray nozzle and a humidifier equipped with the spray nozzle. The spray nozzle generates a mist by mixing and injecting air into water, and generates a large amount of fine mist with a small amount of air and a water droplet at the nozzle. This is a spray nozzle that prevents water from sticking and does not cause dripping.
 従来より、工業用、農業用を含めてあらゆる分野において、所要の湿度に保持するために加湿器が用いられ、該加湿器に装備したスプレーノズル(以下、ノズルと略称する)から噴霧して湿度を保つようにしている。該加湿用のノズルからは、圧力空気からなる気体と水からなる液体とを混合した気液混合液を所要圧力で噴霧し、噴霧する水滴を微粒化している。このように、ノズルからの噴霧を微粒化すると共に噴霧範囲を広げるためには、圧力空気を供給する必要があるためエネルギーを消費し、該エネルギーの消費量を抑制することが求められている。かつ、噴口から噴射する水滴が噴口周縁に付着して水垂れが生じるのを防止することも求められている。 Conventionally, in all fields including industrial and agricultural uses, a humidifier has been used to maintain the required humidity. The humidity is sprayed from a spray nozzle (hereinafter abbreviated as a nozzle) equipped in the humidifier. Keep trying. From the humidifying nozzle, a gas-liquid mixed liquid obtained by mixing a gas made of pressurized air and a liquid made of water is sprayed at a required pressure, and water droplets to be sprayed are atomized. Thus, in order to atomize the spray from the nozzle and widen the spray range, it is necessary to supply pressurized air, so that it is required to consume energy and suppress the energy consumption. In addition, it is also required to prevent water droplets ejected from the nozzle from adhering to the periphery of the nozzle and causing dripping.
 この種の加湿器として、本出願人は特開平5-79664号公報において、加湿器の貯水室に溜めておく水を可能な限り少なくし、常時、水道管より新鮮な水を供給することで、細菌の発生、増殖を100%抑えることができる加湿器を提供している。
 該加湿器には、図10に示すように、対向配置した一対の噴口100と101を備えたスプレーノズルノズル110を装着し、前記対向配置した噴口100と101から噴射する霧同士を衝突させて、水滴を微粒化している。
As a humidifier of this type, the applicant of Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 5-79664 can reduce the amount of water stored in the water storage chamber of the humidifier as much as possible and always supply fresh water from a water pipe. The present invention provides a humidifier that can suppress the generation and growth of bacteria by 100%.
As shown in FIG. 10, the humidifier is equipped with a spray nozzle nozzle 110 having a pair of opposed nozzle holes 100 and 101, and mists sprayed from the nozzle nozzles 100 and 101 arranged opposite to each other are caused to collide with each other. , Water droplets are atomized.
 この加湿器は種々の利点を有するものであるが、改良の余地がある。即ち、噴口100と101とから気液混合液を噴霧する際、供給する圧力空気量を低減してエネルギー消費量を減少すると、霧が粗くなり噴口周辺に水滴が付着しやすくなる。この噴口100、101の周縁に付着した水滴を除去せずに付着した状態のままにすると、水滴がボタ落ちする問題が発生する。 Although this humidifier has various advantages, there is room for improvement. That is, when the gas-liquid mixture is sprayed from the nozzles 100 and 101, if the amount of pressurized air to be supplied is reduced to reduce the energy consumption, the fog becomes rough and water droplets are likely to adhere to the periphery of the nozzle. If the water droplets adhering to the peripheral edges of the nozzle holes 100 and 101 are left without being removed, there is a problem that the water droplets drop off.
特開平5-79664号公報JP-A-5-79664
 本発明は、前記問題を解消せんとするもので、圧力空気の供給量を低減しながら微細な霧を大量に発生できるようにして省エネルギー化を図ると共に、噴口周縁に水滴が付着しにくくし、噴口周縁から水垂れを発生させないスプレーノズル、および該スプレーノズルを備えた加湿器を提供することを課題としている。 The present invention is intended to solve the above problem, while reducing the supply amount of pressurized air and generating a large amount of fine mist to save energy, making it difficult for water droplets to adhere to the periphery of the nozzle hole, It is an object of the present invention to provide a spray nozzle that does not cause dripping from the periphery of the nozzle hole, and a humidifier equipped with the spray nozzle.
 前記課題を解決するため、第一の発明として、
 ノズル本体の中心軸線上の噴射側先端に配置する第一噴口と、該第一噴口より噴射側に突出すると共に前記中心軸線の延長線に向けて互いに向き合うように傾斜させて対向配置する第二噴口と第三噴口を備え、
 前記第二噴口および第三噴口は円形とすると共に、前記第一噴口は長円または楕円形状とし、 
 前記第二噴口および第三噴口から噴射する気液混合流体と前記第一噴口から噴射する気体とを前記中心軸線上で衝突させて水滴を微粒化し、かつ、前記第二、第三噴口から噴射する水滴を前記第一噴口から噴射する空気で吹き飛ばす構成としていることを特徴とするスプレーノズルを提供している。
In order to solve the above problems, as a first invention,
A first nozzle hole disposed at the tip of the nozzle body on the central axis of the nozzle body, and a second nozzle that projects from the first nozzle nozzle toward the spray side and is inclined to face each other toward an extension line of the central axis. It has a nozzle and a third nozzle,
The second nozzle hole and the third nozzle hole are circular, and the first nozzle hole is an ellipse or an ellipse,
The gas-liquid mixed fluid jetted from the second jet nozzle and the third jet nozzle collides with the gas jetted from the first jet nozzle on the central axis to atomize water droplets, and jetted from the second and third jet nozzles There is provided a spray nozzle characterized in that a water droplet to be blown off is blown away with air jetted from the first nozzle hole.
 本発明では、対向配置する第二、第三噴口から噴射する水と圧力空気とを混合した気液混合流体の霧を、第一噴口から噴射する圧力空気と衝突させ、該衝突時により超音波を発生させて微細な霧を大量に発生させている。かつ、第一噴口を長円形状または楕円形状の噴口として、該第一噴口から噴射する圧力空気により第二、第三噴口から噴射される水滴を噴霧方向と直交方向に吹き飛ばし、該第二、第三噴口の周縁から離れる方向に水滴を吹き飛ばしている。このように、第二、第三噴口から噴射する水滴が噴口周縁に付着するのを第一噴口から噴射する圧力空気で防止でき、第二、第三噴口周縁からの水垂れ発生を防止できる。 In the present invention, a mist of a gas-liquid mixed fluid obtained by mixing water and pressure air ejected from the second and third nozzles arranged opposite to each other is caused to collide with the pressure air ejected from the first nozzle and ultrasonic waves are generated at the time of the collision. To generate a large amount of fine mist. And, the first nozzle hole is an elliptical or elliptical nozzle, the second by the pressure air injected from the first nozzle, the water droplets sprayed from the third nozzle is blown away in the direction perpendicular to the spray direction, the second, Water droplets are blown away in a direction away from the periphery of the third nozzle hole. In this way, water droplets ejected from the second and third nozzle holes can be prevented from adhering to the periphery of the nozzle holes by the pressure air ejected from the first nozzle hole, and the occurrence of dripping from the second and third nozzle edges can be prevented.
 前記従来例の図10に示す従来の対向配置する2つの噴口から噴射する霧を衝突させる場合と比較して、ノズル本体の中心軸線に位置する第一噴口から噴射する圧力空気を前記衝突する第二、第三噴口からの霧と一点で衝突させることで、前記従来例より水滴をより微粒化でき、大量に霧を発生させることができる。言い換えれば、第一~第三噴口から噴射する圧力空気の圧力を上げたり、圧力空気の噴射量を増大させることなく、圧力空気を三方から衝突させることで、超音波振動で微細な霧を大量に発生させることができる。その結果、供給する圧力空気量を低減でき、エネルギーの消費量を低減でき、かつ、前記のように水を噴射する第二、第三噴口周縁の水滴付着を防止できる。 Compared with the case where the mist sprayed from the two oppositely arranged nozzles shown in FIG. 10 of the conventional example collides, the pressure air injected from the first nozzle located at the central axis of the nozzle body collides with the first. By colliding with the mist from the second and third nozzle holes at a single point, the water droplets can be made finer than the conventional example, and a large amount of mist can be generated. In other words, a large amount of fine mist can be generated by ultrasonic vibration by increasing the pressure of the pressure air injected from the first to third nozzles or by causing the pressure air to collide from three directions without increasing the pressure air injection amount. Can be generated. As a result, the amount of pressurized air to be supplied can be reduced, the amount of energy consumption can be reduced, and water droplets can be prevented from adhering to the peripheral edges of the second and third nozzles that inject water as described above.
 前記第二、第三噴口はいずれも円形の中央水噴口から噴射する水の回りに、前記中央水噴口を囲む円環状空気噴口から噴射する圧力空気を外部混合し、
 前記第一噴口は、対向配置する前記第二噴口と第三噴口とを結ぶ直線方向と直交する方向を長寸とした長円または楕円形状としている。
 このように、第一噴口はノズル本体の中心軸線の延長方向、即ち、第二噴口および第三噴口の噴射方向と直交方向を長寸とする長円または楕円形状としている。
The second and third nozzles both externally mix the pressure air injected from the annular air nozzle surrounding the central water nozzle, around the water jetted from the circular central water nozzle,
The first nozzle hole is in the shape of an ellipse or an ellipse whose length is in a direction perpendicular to a linear direction connecting the second nozzle hole and the third nozzle hole arranged to face each other.
As described above, the first nozzle hole has an elliptical or elliptical shape with the length extending in the direction of extension of the central axis of the nozzle body, that is, the direction orthogonal to the injection direction of the second nozzle hole and the third nozzle hole.
 前記のように、水と圧力空気とからなる気液混合流体、即ち、霧を噴射する第二、第三噴口では、水と圧力空気とを外部混合して、噴口での目詰まり発生を抑制している。かつ、圧力空気のみを噴射する長円または楕円形状の第一噴口では、前記のように、その長寸方向を対向配置する第二、第三噴口を結ぶ直線に対して直交方向、即ち、第二、第三噴口からの噴射方向と直交方向としている。これにより、第一噴口からの圧力空気により、第二、第三噴口から噴射する水滴が該第二、第三噴口の周縁に吹き返されて周縁に付着するのを防止し、第二、第三噴口の周縁から水滴を離れる方向に吹き飛ばして水滴の付着を確実に防止している。 As described above, the gas-liquid mixed fluid consisting of water and pressure air, that is, the second and third nozzles that inject mist, mix water and pressure air externally to suppress clogging at the nozzle. is doing. In addition, as described above, in the elliptical or elliptical first injection hole that injects only the pressure air, as described above, the first direction is orthogonal to the straight line connecting the second and third injection holes arranged opposite to each other in the longitudinal direction, that is, the first The second and third injection holes are orthogonal to the injection direction. This prevents water droplets ejected from the second and third nozzles from being blown back to the periphery of the second and third nozzles by the pressurized air from the first nozzle, and is attached to the periphery. Blowing away water droplets from the periphery of the nozzle hole reliably prevents water droplets from adhering.
 前記第一噴口の長寸方向の孔長(HL)と短寸方向の孔幅(HW)との関係を、孔長/孔幅(HL/HW)を1.2以上2.0未満とし、かつ、
 前記第一、第二、第三噴口は前記ノズル本体に設けた各円錐状噴射部の頂面部分に設け、前記第一噴口は前記第二噴口と第三噴口の円錐状噴射部の基端部を結ぶ直線より前記衝突点側へ突出していることが好ましい。
 このように、第一噴口を第二、第三噴口に対して近接配置すると、対向する2方向からの噴霧の中心に圧力空気を強く衝突させて効果的に超音波を発生させ、微粒化を促進して大量に霧を発生させることができることを、本発明者は実験より知見した。
The relationship between the hole length (HL) in the long dimension of the first nozzle hole and the hole width (HW) in the short dimension is such that the hole length / hole width (HL / HW) is 1.2 or more and less than 2.0, And,
The first, second, and third nozzle holes are provided at the top surface portion of each conical injection section provided in the nozzle body, and the first nozzle is a base end of the cone injection section of the second and third nozzle holes. It is preferable to protrude toward the collision point side from a straight line connecting the portions.
As described above, when the first nozzle hole is arranged close to the second and third nozzle holes, the compressed air is strongly collided with the center of the spray from the two opposite directions to effectively generate the ultrasonic wave, and the atomization is performed. The present inventor has found from experiments that it is possible to accelerate and generate a large amount of fog.
 また、前記衝突点を支点として前記第一噴口の中心線と第二噴口の中心線とが成す角度と、前記第一噴口の中心線と第三噴口の中心線とが成す角度とは同等とすると共、該角度θ1を90°~40°、好ましくは70°~60°としてる。
 前記第二、第三噴口と前記衝突点までの距離L1は同等とすると共に、前記第一噴口から前記衝突点間での距離L2はL1×1.0~2.0としていることが好ましい。
Further, the angle formed by the center line of the first nozzle hole and the center line of the second nozzle hole with the collision point as a fulcrum is equal to the angle formed by the center line of the first nozzle hole and the center line of the third nozzle hole. In this case, the angle θ1 is set to 90 ° to 40 °, preferably 70 ° to 60 °.
It is preferable that the distance L1 between the second and third nozzle holes and the collision point is equal, and the distance L2 between the first nozzle hole and the collision point is L1 × 1.0 to 2.0.
 第二噴口と第三噴口から噴射する噴霧を前記角度で衝突させ、かつ、第二噴口と第三噴口と等角度間隔の前記第一噴口から衝突点に向けて圧力空気を噴射して衝突させると、第二、第三噴口から噴射した霧と第一噴口からの圧力空気を均等に衝突させることができ、噴霧中の水滴の微粒化を均等に行うことができる。かつ、前記角度で二方向からの噴霧と中央の一方向からの圧力空気とを1点で衝突させることにより、衝突時に超音波を発生させて水滴の更なる微粒化が図れることを、本発明者は実験により知見した。
 特に、前記第二、第三の噴口からノズル本体の中心軸線に向けて角度90゜~40°で噴霧し、その中心の中心軸線上に第一噴口から噴射する圧力空気を衝突させることで、衝突時に発生する超音波により微粒化が促進し、大量の霧を発生できることを本発明者は実験により知見した。
 前記第二、第三の噴口からの噴霧がなす角度が大きくなると、噴霧の飛距離が短くなり、噴口周縁への水滴が付着しやすくなるが、第一噴口を長円または楕円とし、第二、第三噴口からの水滴が第一噴口から噴射する圧力空気で第二、第三噴口側に吹き返されず、離れた方向に吹き飛ばしているため、第二、第三噴口の周縁に水滴が付着するのを防止できる。
The spray sprayed from the second nozzle hole and the third nozzle hole is caused to collide with the angle, and the second nozzle hole and the third nozzle hole are caused to collide by injecting the pressure air from the first nozzle hole at equal angular intervals toward the collision point. And the mist injected from the 2nd, 3rd nozzle hole, and the pressure air from the 1st nozzle hole can collide equally, and atomization of the water droplet during spraying can be performed equally. In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to further atomize water droplets by causing ultrasonic waves to be generated at the time of collision by causing the spray from two directions and the pressurized air from one central direction to collide at one point at the angle. The person discovered by experiment.
In particular, spraying at an angle of 90 ° to 40 ° from the second and third nozzle holes toward the central axis of the nozzle body, and colliding with pressure air injected from the first nozzle on the central axis of the center, The present inventor has found through experiments that atomization is promoted by ultrasonic waves generated at the time of collision and a large amount of fog can be generated.
When the angle formed by the spray from the second and third nozzles is increased, the spray distance is shortened and water droplets are likely to adhere to the periphery of the nozzle, but the first nozzle is an ellipse or an ellipse, The water droplets from the third nozzle hole are not blown back to the second and third nozzle holes by the pressure air injected from the first nozzle hole, and are blown away in the direction away from each other, so that the water droplets adhere to the peripheral edges of the second and third nozzle holes. Can be prevented.
 前記第二、第三噴口から噴射する気液混合流体は、水圧を0~0.5MPa、空気圧を0~1.0MPaの範囲とし、前記第二、第三噴口から噴射する気液混合流体の気水比(空気/水)を200~2000とし、
 前記第二、第三噴口から噴射する空気供給量が10NL/min未満であると、該第二、第三噴口からの空気供給量より前記第一噴口からの空気供給量を多くし、
 前記第二、第三噴口から噴射する空気供給量が10NL/min以上であると、前記第一噴口からの空気供給量を前記第二、第三噴口からの空気供給量以下とすることが好ましい。
The gas-liquid mixed fluid jetted from the second and third nozzles is a gas-liquid mixed fluid jetted from the second and third nozzles with a water pressure of 0 to 0.5 MPa and an air pressure of 0 to 1.0 MPa. The air-to-water ratio (air / water) is 200-2000,
When the amount of air supplied from the second and third nozzles is less than 10 NL / min, the amount of air supplied from the first nozzle is increased from the amount of air supplied from the second and third nozzles,
When the amount of air supplied from the second and third nozzles is 10 NL / min or more, the amount of air supplied from the first nozzle is preferably equal to or less than the amount of air supplied from the second and third nozzles. .

 気体通路に供給する圧力空気はコンプレッサーから供給し、液体通路に供給する水は水道水または純水が好ましい。
In the spray nozzle according to the present invention, one main gas passage provided in the nozzle body is branched into three branch gas passages on the injection side and is distributed to the first, second and third nozzles, and is provided in the nozzle body. A branched liquid passage that branches one liquid passage or one main liquid passage into two on the injection side is circulated to the second and third nozzles.
The pressurized air supplied to the gas passage is supplied from a compressor, and the water supplied to the liquid passage is preferably tap water or pure water.
 前記のように、第二、第三噴口から噴射する空気供給量が10NL/min以上で噴霧量が多いスプレーノズルの場合には、第二、第三噴口周縁に水滴が付着しにくく、かつ、第一噴口から噴射する空気供給量を少なくしても、衝突点での霧の発生量が多いため、第一噴口より噴射する圧力空気量を第二、第三噴口から噴射する圧力空気量より少なくして、消費エネルギーおよびコストの低減を図ることが好ましい。
 一方、第二、第三噴口から噴射する空気供給量が10NL/min未満と少ない小型のスプレーノズルの場合には、第二、第三噴口周縁に水滴が付着しやすくなり、かつ、第一噴口から噴射する空気供給量を多くして衝突点での霧の発生量を多くすることが好ましいため、第一噴口より噴射する圧力空気量を第二、第三噴口から噴射する圧力空気量より多くすることが好ましい。
 上記第一、第二、第三噴口への供給空気量の調整は、例えば、大型のスプレーノズルと小型のスプレーノズルとで、第一噴口へ連通させる分岐気体通路、第一、第二、第三噴口の断面積を相違させている。
As described above, in the case of a spray nozzle in which the amount of air supplied from the second and third nozzle holes is 10 NL / min or more and the spray amount is large, water droplets are unlikely to adhere to the second and third nozzle edges, and Even if the amount of air supplied from the first nozzle is reduced, the amount of fog generated at the collision point is large, so the amount of pressure air injected from the first nozzle is more than the amount of pressure air injected from the second and third nozzles. It is preferable to reduce the energy consumption and cost.
On the other hand, in the case of a small spray nozzle in which the amount of air supplied from the second and third nozzles is as small as less than 10 NL / min, water droplets easily adhere to the peripheral edges of the second and third nozzles, and the first nozzle Since it is preferable to increase the amount of air supplied from the first injection port to increase the amount of fog generated at the collision point, the amount of pressure air injected from the first injection port is larger than the amount of pressure air injected from the second and third injection ports. It is preferable to do.
The adjustment of the amount of air supplied to the first, second, and third nozzles is, for example, a branch gas passage that communicates with the first nozzle with a large spray nozzle and a small spray nozzle, the first, second, and second nozzles. The cross-sectional areas of the three nozzles are different.

  前述したように、第一の発明のスプレーノズルでは、第二、第三噴口から噴射する気液混合流体の霧を、圧力空気を噴射する第一噴口の中心軸線の延長線上の1つの衝突点で衝突させることにより、超音波で噴霧中の水滴を微粒化して、大量の霧を発生させることができる。このように、霧を大量に発生させるため、圧力空気量を減少させることができ、省エネルギー化を図ることができる。
 かつ、圧力空気を噴射する第一噴口は長円または楕円形状としているため、第二、第三噴口から噴射する水滴を吹き返さず、該第二、第三噴口の周縁に水滴が付着するのを防止して、第二、第三噴口周縁からの水垂れ発生を防止できる。

By colliding with, water droplets being sprayed can be atomized with ultrasonic waves, and a large amount of mist can be generated. Thus, since a lot of fog is generated, the amount of pressurized air can be reduced, and energy saving can be achieved.
And since the 1st nozzle hole which injects pressure air is made into an ellipse or an ellipse shape, it does not blow back the water droplet injected from the 2nd, 3rd nozzle hole, but a water droplet adheres to the periphery of this 2nd, 3rd nozzle hole.

Moreover, since the 1st nozzle hole 3 which injects pressure air is made into an ellipse shape, and the water droplet injected from the 2nd nozzle hole 4 and the 3rd nozzle hole 5 is blown away in the orthogonal direction with the injection direction, the pressure air from the 1st nozzle hole 3 It is possible to prevent water droplets ejected from the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5 from being blown back and adhering to the peripheral edges of the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5 due to the collision.
 このように、長円形状とした第一噴口3から圧力空気のみを、第二、第三噴口から噴射する霧K1、K2の衝突点に向けて噴射することで、衝突混合する霧K1、K2を第一噴口3からの圧力空気と混合して霧の水滴を微粒化して霧の発生量を増大できると共に、水滴を噴射する第二、第三噴口4、5の周縁に水滴が付着するのを確実に防止できる。 In this way, the mists K1 and K2 that collide and mix by injecting only the pressure air from the first nozzle 3 having the oval shape toward the collision points of the mists K1 and K2 that are injected from the second and third nozzles.

In the small nozzle, the total amount of pressurized air supplied to the nozzle 1 is less than 30 NL / min, and the total amount of water supplied is less than 3.3 L / hr. In the small nozzle, the amount of pressure air Qa3 injected from the first injection port 3 is made larger than the amount of pressure air Qa1 injected from the second injection port 4 and the amount of pressure air Qa2 injected from the third injection port 5.
In the medium-sized nozzle, the total amount of pressurized air supplied to the nozzle 1 is 30 NL / min or more and less than 40 NL / min, and the total amount of water supply is 2.5 L / hr or more and less than 4 L / hr. In the medium nozzle, the pressure air amounts Qa3, Qa1, and Qa2 injected from the first, second, and third nozzle holes 3, 4, and 5, respectively, are set to substantially the same amount.

In the large nozzle, the pressure air amount Qa3 injected from the first injection port 3 is made smaller than the pressure air amount Qa1 injected from the second injection port 4 and the pressure air amount Qa2 injected from the third injection port 5.
 具体的には、図7の表に示すように、小型ノズル、中型ノズル、大型ノズルで供給する圧力空気量、水量を相違させている。
 図7の設定としたノズルを作成して噴霧実験した結果、衝突点(P)における霧の発生量を所要量に確保でき、かつ、第二、第三噴口4、5の周縁への水滴の付着を確実に防止することができた。
Specifically, as shown in the table of FIG. 7, the amount of pressurized air and the amount of water supplied by the small nozzle, the medium nozzle, and the large nozzle are different.
As a result of creating a nozzle set as shown in FIG. 7 and performing a spraying experiment, the amount of fog generated at the collision point (P) can be secured to a required amount, and water droplets on the peripheral edges of the second and third nozzles 4 and 5 can be secured. Adhesion could be reliably prevented.
 即ち、小型ノズルでは、第二、第三噴口4、5からの圧力空気の噴射量より第一噴口3からの圧力空気の噴射量を多くすることで、衝突部における霧の発生を増大でき、かつ、第二、第三噴口4、5への水滴の付着を第一噴口3から噴射する圧力空気により確実に防止できることが確認できた。
 一方、大型ノズルでは、第二、第三噴口4、5からの圧力空気の噴射量が多いため、第一噴口3からの圧力空気の噴射量を第二、第三噴口4、5より少なくしても、衝突部における霧の発生量を増大できると共に、第二、第三噴口4、5の周縁への水滴の付着を阻止できることが確認できた。特に、第一噴口3からの圧力空気の噴射量を低減することでトータルの圧力空気量が過大にならず、エネルギーコストを抑制できた。
That is, in the small nozzle, by increasing the injection amount of the pressure air from the first injection port 3 than the injection amount of the pressure air from the second and third injection ports 4, 5, the generation of fog in the collision part can be increased. In addition, it was confirmed that the adhesion of water droplets to the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5 can be reliably prevented by the pressure air injected from the first nozzle hole 3.
On the other hand, in a large nozzle, since the injection amount of the pressurized air from the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5 is large, the injection amount of the pressurized air from the first nozzle hole 3 is made smaller than that of the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5. However, it has been confirmed that the amount of fog generated at the collision portion can be increased and adhesion of water droplets to the peripheral edges of the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5 can be prevented. In particular, by reducing the amount of pressurized air injected from the first nozzle 3, the total amount of pressurized air does not become excessive, and the energy cost can be suppressed.

 前記ノズル1を90度間隔をあけて取り付けた加湿器20を図9に示すように、気体供給管50を圧力空気導入管51に所要間隔をあけて吊り下げている。また、水供給管40を水導入管41に所要間隔をあけて吊り下げている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the humidifier 20 to which the nozzle 1 is attached at an interval of 90 degrees is suspended from the pressure air introduction pipe 51 at a required interval as shown in FIG. Further, the water supply pipe 40 is suspended from the water introduction pipe 41 with a required interval.
 次に、前記加湿器20の噴霧作動を以下に説明する。
 蓋材22に設けた圧力空気の分岐通路22hに供給される圧力空気が、ノズル1の気体通路8に流入する。一方、前記分岐通路22hに流入する圧力空気の負圧を分岐通路22fに導入し、吸液管22eにより貯水室32の底部中心より水を吸い上げ、分岐通路22fを通してノズル1の液体通路7に液体を流入させる。
Next, the spraying operation of the humidifier 20 will be described below.
The pressure air supplied to the pressure air branch passage 22 h provided in the lid member 22 flows into the gas passage 8 of the nozzle 1. On the other hand, the negative pressure of the pressure air flowing into the branch passage 22h is introduced into the branch passage 22f, water is sucked up from the center of the bottom of the water storage chamber 32 by the liquid suction pipe 22e, and liquid is supplied to the liquid passage 7 of the nozzle 1 through the branch passage 22f. Inflow.
 ノズル1では、前記のように、第二、第三噴口4、5の中心から噴射する液を外周から圧力空気を噴射して外部混合し、圧力空気の剪断作用により微霧化して噴射する一方、第一噴口3から圧力空気を噴射している。このように3方向から噴射する流体を外部の衝突点(P)で衝突させて超音波を発生して液滴をさらに超微粒化および均質化し、霧を大量に発生させている。尚、圧力空気圧は0~1MPa、水圧は0~0.5MPaの範囲に設定している。 In the nozzle 1, as described above, the liquid injected from the centers of the second and third nozzle holes 4 and 5 is externally mixed by injecting the pressure air from the outer periphery, and atomized by the shearing action of the pressure air. The pressure air is injected from the first nozzle 3. In this way, the fluid jetted from three directions is collided at the external collision point (P) to generate ultrasonic waves, further micronize and homogenize the droplets, and generate a large amount of fog. The pressure and air pressure are set in the range of 0 to 1 MPa, and the water pressure is set in the range of 0 to 0.5 MPa.
 前記のように、噴霧時において、水を貯水室32の底部中心の液溜まり26より吸い上げていく。水はフロート25の外周よりテーパをかけた底部中心に向かって流れてくるため、古い液から順次噴霧していくこととなる。貯水室32内に溜まっている液量が減少してフロート25が下降すると、止水レバー30が下降して止水弁29を下降させ、弁座22kが開いて貯水室32内に水を導入する。
 貯水室32内へ水が導入されてフロート25が上昇すると、前記のように止水レバー30の先端が押し上げられ、止水弁29が上昇して弁座22kを閉じる。このように貯水量を少量としているため、噴霧時に絶えずフロート25が昇降して止水レバー30、止水弁29を作動して水の供給を断続し、新しい水を貯水室32に供給している。
 また、上記フロート25、止水レバー30および止水弁29の作動は安定かつ正確に為される。即ち、フロート25は中央を吸液管22eにより、外周がケーシングのガイドリブ21dによりガイドされて真っすぐに昇降する。
As described above, at the time of spraying, water is sucked up from the liquid reservoir 26 at the center of the bottom of the water storage chamber 32. Since water flows from the outer periphery of the float 25 toward the tapered bottom center, the old liquid is sequentially sprayed. When the amount of liquid accumulated in the water storage chamber 32 decreases and the float 25 descends, the water stop lever 30 descends to lower the water stop valve 29, and the valve seat 22k opens to introduce water into the water storage chamber 32. To do.
When water is introduced into the water storage chamber 32 and the float 25 rises, the tip of the water stop lever 30 is pushed up as described above, and the water stop valve 29 rises to close the valve seat 22k. Since the amount of water stored in this way is small, the float 25 constantly moves up and down during spraying, operates the water stop lever 30 and the water stop valve 29 to intermittently supply water, and supplies new water to the water storage chamber 32. Yes.
Further, the float 25, the water stop lever 30 and the water stop valve 29 are operated stably and accurately. That is, the float 25 moves up and down straight, with the liquid guide tube 22e at the center and the outer periphery guided by the guide rib 21d of the casing.
 このように、加湿器20は常に新鮮な水を噴霧できると共に、ノズル1を装着していることにより供給する圧力空気量を低減しても大量の霧を発生させることができ、ランニングコストの軽減を図ることができる。 In this way, the humidifier 20 can always spray fresh water, and by mounting the nozzle 1, it can generate a large amount of mist even if the amount of pressurized air supplied is reduced, thus reducing running costs. Can be achieved.
