The processor executes various processes in accordance with a control program (computer program) stored in the semiconductor memory.

Subsequently, the main body unit 200 will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a part of the main unit 200 in an enlarged manner. As shown in FIG. 3, the main unit 200 further includes a holder 230.

The holder 230 rotatably supports the movable wind direction plate 102. Specifically, the movable wind direction plate 102 includes two rotating shafts 102a, and the holder 230 rotatably supports the two rotating shafts 102a. One of the two rotation shafts 102 a is connected to the output shaft of the drive device 206. Further, the holder 230 supports the disinfecting solution spreading device 1. Specifically, the main body portion 121 of the first unit 10 provided in the bacteria removal solution spraying apparatus 1 is supported.

Then, with reference to FIG. 3, the disinfecting liquid spreading device 1 which concerns on Embodiment 1 is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 3, the lid 121 a of the main body portion 121 has an opening 125. In the present embodiment, the blower 210 of the bathroom environment adjustment apparatus 100 described with reference to FIG. 2 is used to blow the mist of the disinfecting solution.

Subsequently, the main unit 200 will be further described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the air path of the bathroom environment adjustment device 100. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the main unit 200 further includes a fixed air direction plate 207. The fixed wind direction plate 207 aligns the direction of the wind having flowed out of the heating heat exchanger 204 in a predetermined direction (downward in the present embodiment).

Further, the holder 230 supports the main body portion 121 of the first unit 10 so that a part (lower part) of the first unit 10 of the bacteria removal liquid spray apparatus 1 protrudes from the blowout port 105 (second opening). As a result, the second unit 20 included in the disinfecting solution distribution device 1 is supported so as to be located below the panel 101.

Subsequently, the sterilization operation in the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. When the sterilization operation is performed, as shown in FIG. 4, the movable air direction plate 102 is in a closed state. As a result, the wind which flowed out from fixed wind direction board 207 flows into opening 125 which the 1st unit 10 (cover 121a of main part 121 of a disinfection part 1) of bacteria removal liquid sprinkler 1 has. Therefore, a wind flowing from the opening 125 toward the liquid surface of the bactericidal solution is generated, and the mist of the bactericidal solution is guided to the ceiling surface by the guide surface 251 of the bactericidal solution scattering device 1.

Below, the structure of the disinfecting liquid spraying apparatus 1 is demonstrated concretely. FIG. 5 is a top view of the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 has a delivery port 1a. The sterilizing solution spraying apparatus 1 sends out a mist of the sterilizing solution from the delivery port 1 a and sprays the sterilizing solution on the bathroom.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 includes a first unit 10 and a second unit 20. In the present embodiment, the delivery port 1 a is a gap formed between the first unit 10 and the second unit 20.

The first unit 10 includes a support 12, a supply pipe 13, a faucet 14, and a control valve 15.

The support 12 supports the second unit 20. In the present embodiment, the support 12 includes a main body portion 121 and a plurality of support members 122.

In the present embodiment, the main body portion 121 includes a lid 121a. Preferably, the lid 121a has an opening 125 at the center. By forming the opening 125 in the central portion of the lid 121 a, the mist of the bactericidal solution can be radially delivered from the bactericidal solution spray device 1 centering on the bactericidal solution spray device 1. In other words, it is possible to suppress that the mist of the disinfecting solution is biased and delivered in a specific direction. Therefore, the mist of the disinfecting solution can be delivered without being biased in a specific direction, and a wider range can be disinfected.

The plurality of support members 122 protrude outward from the main body portion 121 to support the second unit 20. In the present embodiment, the main body portion 121 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and the support member 122 protrudes from the center of each side of the main body portion 121. The delivery port 1 a is formed around the main body portion 121. Specifically, the delivery port 1 a is formed between the plurality of support members 122. In the present embodiment, the delivery port 1a is L-shaped in plan view, and the bacteriostatic solution spreader 1 has four delivery ports 1a. The mist of the bactericidal solution can be delivered from substantially the entire circumference of the main body 121 by the four delivery ports 1a.

The supply pipe 13 supplies water to the second unit 20. For example, the supply pipe 13 supplies tap water. The faucet 14 is provided in the supply pipe 13. The faucet 14 can be opened and closed. When the faucet 14 is in the open state, the supply pipe 13 can supply water. When the faucet 14 is in the closed state, the supply of water by the supply pipe 13 is shut off. In the present embodiment, the faucet 14 is disposed on the lid 121 a. The adjustment valve 15 is provided to the supply pipe 13. The adjusting valve 15 will be described later with reference to FIG.

Then, with reference to FIG. 6, the disinfecting solution spraying apparatus 1 is further demonstrated. FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the disinfecting solution spraying device 1 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 6 shows a cross section taken along the line VI-VI of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 6, the main body 121 of the support 12 has a box shape whose lower surface is opened, and further includes a wall 121 b in addition to the lid 121 a. The wall 121b protrudes downward from the end of the lid 121a. The support member 122 is connected to the lower end portion of the wall portion 121 b. The supply pipe 13 extends from the lid 121 a of the support 12 to the inside of the second unit 20.

Subsequently, the second unit 20 will be described with reference to FIG. The second unit 20 includes a housing portion 21, an electrode pair 22, an ultrasonic wave generation element 23, a water level sensor 24, and a guide member 25. The delivery port 1a described with reference to FIG. 5 is formed between the upper end of the guide member 25 and the main body portion 121 (wall portion 121b) of the support 12.

The storage unit 21 stores a solvent. In the present embodiment, the solvent is water L. The housing portion 21 has a box shape whose upper surface is open. In the present embodiment, the supply pipe 13 extends to the inside of the housing portion 21.

The electrode pair 22 is immersed in a solvent (water L). In the present embodiment, the electrode pair 22 is disposed on the floor surface of the housing portion 21. By applying a voltage to the electrode pair 22, a disinfectant component is generated in the solvent (water L). As a result, a disinfecting solution in which the solvent (water L) and the disinfecting component are mixed is generated in the storage unit 21. In other words, the storage unit 21 stores the disinfecting solution.

In the present embodiment, the germicidal component is silver ion. Specifically, each of the electrodes constituting the electrode pair 22 is a metal plate made of silver alone. Alternatively, each electrode is a metal plate made of plate-like titanium metal and silver supported on part or all of the surface of titanium metal. For example, the plate size of each of the electrodes constituting the electrode pair 22 is 5 mm × 30 mm (thickness 0.3 mm), the distance between the electrodes is 3 mm, 100 ml of tap water having pH 7.6 and hardness 45 mg / L in the housing portion 21 When housed, when a voltage of 5 V DC is applied to the electrode pair 22, a current of 150 mA or more and 170 mA or less flows between the electrodes, and silver ions are eluted from the anode.

The ultrasonic wave generation element 23 applies ultrasonic vibration to the bacteria removal solution to generate a mist of the bacteria removal solution. Specifically, the ultrasonic wave generating element 23 is disposed on the floor surface of the housing portion 21. In other words, the ultrasonic wave generating element 23 is immersed in the disinfecting solution. The ultrasonic wave generation element 23 irradiates an ultrasonic wave from the inside of the liquid to the liquid surface. As a result, a fountain-like liquid column is generated on the liquid surface due to the sound pressure, and a mist (fog of disinfectant liquid) is generated from the liquid column.

When the disinfecting solution spraying device 1 sprays the disinfecting solution, the water level (height of liquid level) of the disinfecting solution stored in the storage unit 21 fluctuates. When generating a mist by ultrasonic waves, it is necessary to adjust the position (water level) of the liquid level so that the nodes of the ultrasonic waves are located at the liquid level.

The water level sensor 24 detects the position of the liquid surface of the disinfecting solution. The adjustment valve 15 can be opened and closed. When the control valve 15 is open, water is supplied by the supply pipe 13. When the control valve 15 is in the closed state, the water supply by the supply pipe 13 is shut off. The adjusting valve 15 opens and closes based on the detection result of the water level sensor 24, and controls the supply of water from the supply pipe 13 so that the node of the ultrasonic wave is located at the liquid level. The adjustment valve 15 is, for example, a solenoid valve. The water level sensor 24 is, for example, a float switch. When the water level sensor 24 is a float switch, the water level sensor 24 detects whether the node of the ultrasonic wave is located at the liquid level. Specifically, the water level sensor 24 detects whether the water level of the bacteriostatic solution is a predetermined water level. The predetermined water level is set according to the wavelength of the ultrasonic wave.

The guide member 25 has a guide surface 251. Specifically, the inner side surface of the guide member 25 forms a guide surface 251. The guide surface 251 is a predetermined surface of the disinfectant solution so that the fog of the disinfectant solution blown by the blower 210 (FIG. 2) can flow along a predetermined surface of the surfaces that partition the bathroom. Lead to Specifically, in the present embodiment, the wind generated from the blower 210 (FIG. 2) is directed to the liquid surface of the disinfecting solution. The mist of the bactericidal solution is blown toward the guide surface 251 by the wind directed to the liquid surface of the bactericidal solution. As a result, the mist of the disinfecting solution blown by the blower 210 (FIG. 2) is guided by the guide surface 251 to a predetermined surface.

In the present embodiment, the guide surface 251 guides the mist of the disinfecting solution to the ceiling surface of the bathroom. Specifically, the guide member 25 protrudes obliquely upward from the upper end of the side wall of the accommodation portion 21. Therefore, the guide surface 251 is an inclined surface, and is inclined so as to be closer to the panel 101 as it is separated from the housing portion 21. As a result, the mist of the sterilizing solution is delivered obliquely upward from the guide surface 251, reaches the ceiling surface of the bathroom through the panel 101, and then flows along the ceiling surface of the bathroom. In other words, the mist of the disinfecting solution is delivered obliquely upward from the delivery port 1a. Alternatively, the mist of the disinfecting solution is delivered from the horizontal direction to the upper direction from the guide surface 251 (delivery port 1a). In addition, the mist of the disinfecting solution may be sent out in the horizontal direction from the guide surface 251 (delivery port 1a). For example, when the gap between the upper end of the guide surface 251 and the panel 101 is narrow, the mist of the bactericidal solution may be delivered in the horizontal direction.

Subsequently, the flow of the mist of the disinfecting solution will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a view showing a mist flow of the disinfecting liquid according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Arrows D1 to D3 indicate the direction in which the disinfectant solution flows.

As shown in FIG. 7, the mist of the bactericidal solution sent from the bactericidal solution spraying device 1 flows along the panel 101 and then flows along the ceiling surface SS of the bathroom. In addition, the mist of the bacteriostatic solution led to the wall surface WS of the bathroom along the ceiling surface SS flows downward along the wall surface WS.

Hereinabove, the bathroom environment adjusting device 100 according to the present embodiment has been described with reference to FIGS. According to the present embodiment, since the mist of the disinfecting solution flows along the panel 101 and the ceiling surface SS of the bathroom (an example of a predetermined surface), the wider range of the ceiling surface SS is disinfected together with the panel 101. be able to. Furthermore, according to the present embodiment, the mist of the bactericidal solution can be radially delivered from the bactericidal solution scattering device 1 centering on the bactericidal solution spraying device 1. Thus, a wider range of the ceiling surface SS can be disinfected.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the mist of the bacteriostatic solution led to the wall surface WS of the bathroom along the ceiling surface SS flows downward along the wall surface WS. Therefore, the disinfecting solution can be sprayed on the wall surface WS of the bathroom.

Further, according to the present embodiment, the mist of the bacteriostatic solution is delivered toward the panel 101 and flows along the ceiling surface SS and the wall surface WS. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a person who gets into the bathroom during spraying of the disinfecting solution from inhaling the fog of the disinfecting solution. Moreover, it can suppress that a bactericidal solution adheres to the person who entered into the bathroom.

Then, with reference to FIG. 8 (a), FIG.8 (b), FIG.9 and FIG.10, the disinfecting liquid scattering device 1 which concerns on this embodiment is further demonstrated. FIG. 8A is a top view of the second unit 20 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8B is a bottom view of the second unit 20 according to the first embodiment.

As shown in FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b), the second unit 20 has a plurality of support holes 20a. In the present embodiment, the guide member 25 has a plurality of support holes 20a. The support holes 20 a are through holes that penetrate the guide member 25. The plurality of support holes 20 a are formed at positions corresponding to the plurality of support members 122 described with reference to FIG. 5.

Further, in the present embodiment, the guide surface 251 is annular. Since the guide surface 251 is annular, the mist of the bactericidal solution can be radially delivered from the bactericidal solution spray device 1 centering on the bactericidal solution spray device 1. In other words, it is possible to suppress that the mist of the disinfecting solution is biased and delivered in a specific direction. Therefore, the mist of the disinfecting solution can be delivered without being biased in a specific direction, and a wider range can be disinfected.

FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of the sterilizing solution spraying apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 9 shows a cross section taken along the line IX-IX of FIG. As shown in FIG. 9, the support members 122 of the first unit 10 are respectively inserted into the corresponding support holes 20a (FIGS. 8 (a) and 8 (b)). The guide member 25 is supported by the support member 122 as the support member 122 is inserted into the support hole 20 a. In other words, the second unit 20 is supported by the support member 122.

In the present embodiment, the support member 122 detachably supports the guide member 25. In other words, the support member 122 detachably supports the second unit 20. Specifically, at least one of the guide member 25 and the support member 122 is formed of an elastic material. For example, at least one of the guide member 25 and the support member 122 may be formed of acrylic resin. When at least one of the guide member 25 and the support member 122 has elasticity, the support member 122 can be inserted into and removed from the support hole 20a, and as a result, the second unit 20 can be attached and detached.

FIG. 10 is a view showing a state in which the second unit 20 is separated from the first unit 10. In the present embodiment, the support member 122 detachably supports the second unit 20 (guide member 25). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the second unit 20 can be easily separated from the first unit 10. In other words, the second unit 20 can be easily removed from the bathroom environment adjustment device 100.

As described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the blower 210 (FIG. 2) sucks the air of the bathroom from the inlet 103 (FIG. 1) of the panel 101. As a result, dust and dirt from the outside can be easily taken into the liquid (water L or disinfectant) contained in the container 21 by air blowing from the air blower 210 (FIG. 2). Moreover, when the water L is tap water, the scale of tap water may be accumulated in the storage unit 21. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically clean the inside of the second unit 20 from the viewpoint of hygiene.

Also, the second unit 20 can be separated from the first unit 10. Therefore, the electrode pair 22 can be easily replaced.

Preferably, both the guide member 25 and the support member 122 are formed of an elastic material. The elasticity of both the guide member 25 and the support member 122 allows the second unit 20 to be separated from the first unit 10 more easily. Further, when removing the second unit 20 from the first unit 10, it is preferable to close the faucet 14 so that water does not drip from the supply pipe 13.

Further, for example, the display 36 displays the time elapsed from the start of the sterilization operation, or the remaining time until the sterilization operation ends.

In the present embodiment, when the control device 220 receives from the operation unit 30 a signal instructing start of the sterilization operation, the operations of the first to fourth power supply devices 41 to 44 are performed so that the sterilization operation is performed. Control.

The first power supply device 41 is controlled by the control device 220 to generate a voltage for energizing the electrode pair 22. Specifically, the control device 220 controls the first power supply device 41 such that the electrode pair 22 is energized until the concentration of silver ions reaches a predetermined concentration.

The second power supply device 42 is controlled by the control device 220 to generate a voltage for driving the ultrasonic wave generation element 23. As a result, an ultrasonic wave is generated from the ultrasonic wave generating element 23.

The fourth power supply 44 is controlled by the controller 220 to generate a voltage for driving the adjusting valve 15. Specifically, the control device 220 controls the fourth power supply device 44 based on the output of the water level sensor 24 so that the water level of the bacteriostatic solution becomes a predetermined water level. Specifically, when the level of the disinfecting solution is lowered due to the disinfecting operation, the controller 220 opens the control valve 15. As a result, as described with reference to FIG. 6, water is supplied to the storage unit 21 from the supply pipe 13. Further, the control device 220 closes the control valve 15 when the water level of the bacteriostatic solution rises to a predetermined water level.

Subsequently, the flow of processing executed by the control device 220 will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating processing performed by the control device 220 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 12 shows the flow of processing executed by the control device 220 at the time of sterilization operation. When the control device 220 receives a signal instructing the start of the sterilization operation from the operation unit 30, it starts the process shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 12, when the control device 220 receives a signal instructing the start of the sterilization operation, first, the electrode pair 22 is energized so that the concentration of silver ions becomes a predetermined concentration (step S1).

After energizing the electrode pair 22, the control device 220 generates an ultrasonic wave from the ultrasonic wave generation element 23 (step S2). Further, the control device 220 drives the fan motor 212 to generate a wind for blowing the mist of the bacteria removal solution (step S2). As a result, the mist of the disinfecting solution is delivered from the delivery port 1a described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6.

When the control device 220 starts sending out the mist of the disinfecting solution, it determines whether the water level of the disinfecting solution is a predetermined water level or not based on the output of the water level sensor 24 (step S3).

If the control device 220 determines that the water level of the bacteria removal solution is a predetermined water level (Yes in step S3), it determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed since the signal instructing start of the bacteria removal operation has been received. (Step S4).

On the other hand, when the control device 220 determines that the water level of the bacteriostatic solution is not the predetermined water level (No in step S3), it drives the adjustment valve 15 so that the water level of the bactericidal solution becomes the predetermined water level (step S5) . In other words, as described with reference to FIG. 6, the control device 220 supplies water from the supply pipe 13 to the storage unit 21 to raise the water level of the disinfecting solution to a predetermined water level.

When the water level of the bacteriostatic solution rises to a predetermined water level, the control device 220 closes the control valve 15 and then energizes the electrode pair 22 so that the concentration of silver ions becomes a predetermined concentration (step S6). After energizing the electrode pair 22, the control device 220 determines whether or not a predetermined period has elapsed after receiving a signal instructing start of the bacteria removal operation (step S 4).

If control device 220 determines that the predetermined period has not elapsed (No in step S4), the process returns to the process in step S3. On the other hand, when the control device 220 determines that the predetermined period has elapsed (Yes in step S4), the process illustrated in FIG. 12 ends.

The flow of the process executed by the control device 220 has been described above with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12. According to the process shown in FIG. 12, the concentration of silver ions in the disinfecting solution can be maintained at a predetermined concentration, and the disinfecting solution can be dispersed in the bathroom.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 11 and 13, the flow of another process performed by the control device 220 will be described. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the process performed by the control device 220 according to the first embodiment. Specifically, FIG. 13 shows another example of the processing executed by the control device 220 at the time of the sterilization operation. When the control device 220 receives a signal instructing the start of the sterilization operation from the operation unit 30, it starts the process shown in FIG. Hereinafter, points different from the process shown in FIG. 12 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 13, when the control device 220 determines that the water level of the disinfecting solution is a predetermined water level (Yes in step S3), the first predetermined is received after the signal instructing start of the bacteria removal operation is received. It is determined whether a period has passed (step S11).

Further, when the control device 220 drives the adjusting valve 15 to return the water level of the bacteria removal liquid to a predetermined water level (step S5), a second predetermined period is received after the signal instructing start of the bacteria removal operation is received. It is determined whether it has elapsed (step S12). The second predetermined period is a period shorter than the first predetermined period.

When determining that the second predetermined period has not elapsed (No in step S12), the control device 220 energizes the electrode pair 22 such that the concentration of silver ions becomes a predetermined concentration (step S6). On the other hand, when the control device 220 determines that the second predetermined period has elapsed (Yes in step S12), the electrode pair 22 is not energized. Therefore, after the second predetermined period has elapsed, the concentration of silver ions decreases each time water is supplied from the supply pipe 13 to the storage unit 21.

In the present embodiment, the second predetermined period is set so that the liquid stored in the storage unit 21 returns from the disinfecting solution to the normal water L before the first predetermined period elapses. Therefore, before the first predetermined period elapses, the ultrasonic wave generation element 23 applies ultrasonic vibration to the water L to generate a mist of water, and the blower 210 (FIG. 2) blows the mist of the water L .

In the above, with reference to FIG.11 and FIG.13, the flow of the other process which the control apparatus 220 performs was demonstrated. According to the process shown in FIG. 13, after the disinfecting solution is attached to the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS, water is attached to the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS to remove silver ions. Fungus effect can be maintained for a long time. Specifically, when the bactericidal solution is dried, silver colloid precipitates. Silver colloid has a small disinfecting effect on mold and general bacteria. Therefore, in order to maintain the sterilization effect by the silver ion adhering to the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS for a long time, it is necessary to prevent the drying of the sterilization solution. On the other hand, according to the process shown in FIG. 13, the drying of the disinfecting solution adhering to the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS can be prevented. Therefore, the sterilization effect by the silver ion adhering to the panel 101, ceiling surface SS, and wall surface WS can be maintained for a long time.

Furthermore, when the bacteria removal solution is dried and silver colloid is deposited, darkening due to the silver colloid is generated on the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS, and the appearance is deteriorated. On the other hand, according to the process shown in FIG. 13, the drying of the disinfecting solution adhering to the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS can be prevented. Thus, the occurrence of darkening can be suppressed.

In the process shown in FIG. 13, normal water is sprayed after the application of the disinfecting solution. However, normal water may be applied after a predetermined period of time has elapsed after the application of the disinfecting solution is completed. In this case, even if the bacteriostatic solution is dried to precipitate silver colloid, the silver colloid can be dissolved to generate silver ions. In addition, even if darkening occurs, the darkening can be made less noticeable by dissolving the silver colloid.

Subsequently, the energization time of the electrode pair 22 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 (a) and 14 (b). FIG. 14 (a) is a graph showing the time change of the silver ion concentration. FIG. 14 (b) is a graph showing the sterilization effect of silver ions.

In FIG. 14 (a), the vertical axis indicates the silver ion concentration, and the horizontal axis indicates the elapsed time. More specifically, FIG. 14A shows a silver ion concentration measured by storing 100 ml of tap water having a pH of 7.6 and a hardness of 45 mg / L in the containing portion 21 and applying a voltage of 5 VDC to the electrode pair 22. The plate size of each electrode constituting the electrode pair 22 was 5 mm × 30 mm (thickness 0.3 mm). Moreover, the distance between electrodes was 3 mm. As shown in FIG. 14 (a), the silver ion concentration reached 500 ppb in 3 minutes of elapsed time. In addition, the silver ion concentration became 1000 ppb or more in an elapsed time of 5 minutes.

In FIG. 14 (b), the vertical axis indicates the sterilization rate, and the horizontal axis indicates the silver ion concentration. Further, in FIG. 14 (b), the graph of the x mark shows the eradication rate of S. aureus, and the graph of the black circle shows the eradication rate of black mold. As shown in FIG. 14 (b), common bacteria (eg, Staphylococcus aureus) can be eliminated by 90% or more by silver ions at a concentration of 50 ppb or more and 100 ppb or less. In addition, black mold (cladosporium) can be sterilized by 90% or more by silver ions having a concentration of 400 ppb or more and 500 ppb or less.

Therefore, by energizing the electrode pair 22 for about 3 minutes, it is possible to elute silver ions capable of disinfecting general bacteria and fungi.

The first embodiment has been described above. According to the first embodiment, the disinfecting solution can be uniformly attached to the ceiling surface SS and the wall surface WS of the bathroom without being biased to a specific range. In addition, the disinfecting solution can be uniformly attached to the panel 101 of the bathroom environment adjustment device 100.

In the present embodiment, the guide surface 251 is an inclined surface, but the guide surface 251 may include a horizontal surface. For example, the guide surface 251 may include a horizontal surface parallel to the panel 101 or the ceiling surface SS. In this case, the mist of the disinfecting solution is discharged from the guide surface 251 in the horizontal direction and flows along the panel 101 and the ceiling surface SS.

Further, in the present embodiment, the bacteria removal solution spraying apparatus 1 has four L-shaped delivery ports 1a, but the number and the shape of the delivery ports 1a are not particularly limited. Fig.15 (a) is a figure which shows the modification of the disinfecting liquid spreading device 1 which concerns on Embodiment 1. FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15 (a), the bacteria removal solution spraying apparatus 1 may have a plurality of circular delivery ports 1a. Specifically, in the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 shown in FIG. 15 (a), the plurality of circular delivery ports 1a are arranged along the circumferential direction around the main body portion 121 of the support 12. Moreover, the support body 12 is replaced with the some supporting member 122 demonstrated with reference to FIG.5 and FIG.6, and is provided with the collar part 124 which supports the guide member 25 (2nd unit 20). A plurality of circular delivery openings 1 a are formed in the collar 124. In addition, in the bacteria removal liquid spraying apparatus 1 shown to Fig.15 (a), the mist of bacteria removal liquid may be sent out upwards from the delivery port 1a. For example, when the delivery port 1a is far from the outer edge of the buttocks 124, the mist of the disinfecting solution may be delivered upward.

Moreover, in this embodiment, although the external shape of the guide member 25 (2nd unit 20) was planar view rectangular shape, the external shape of the guide member 25 (2nd unit 20) is not specifically limited. FIG. 15 (b) is a view showing another modified example of the bacteria removal solution spraying apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 15B, the outer shape of the guide member 25 (second unit 20) may be circular in plan view. When the outer shape of the guide member 25 is circular, screw grooves corresponding to each other may be formed on the inner side surface of the guide member 25 and the outer peripheral surface of the flange portion 124 of the support 12. That is, the guide unit 25 may be supported by the collar portion 124 of the support 12 by rotating the second unit 20.

Further, in the present embodiment, the main body portion 121 of the support 12 is rectangular in a plan view, but the outer shape of the main body portion 121 is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in FIG. 15B, the outer shape of the main body portion 121 may be circular in plan view.

Second Embodiment
Subsequently, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. However, items different from the first embodiment will be described, and description of the same items as the first embodiment will be omitted. The second embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the position of the electrode pair 22.

FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view of the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 according to the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, the second unit 20 includes a support member 26 connected to the inner side surface of the housing portion 21. The support member 26 supports the electrode pair 22. Specifically, the support member 26 supports the electrode pair 22 so that the electrode pair 22 is positioned directly above the ultrasonic wave generation element 23. By positioning the electrode pair 22 directly above the ultrasonic wave generation element 23, ultrasonic vibration can be applied to the bacteriostatic solution between the two electrodes constituting the electrode pair 22.

The second embodiment has been described above. According to the second embodiment, ultrasonic vibration can be applied to the sterilizing solution between two electrodes. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the silver colloid from adhering to the electrodes by oscillating the disinfecting solution between the two electrodes.

Third Embodiment
A third embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to FIGS. 17 and 18. However, matters different from the first and second embodiments will be described, and the description of the same matters as the first and second embodiments will be omitted. The third embodiment differs from the first and second embodiments in the eradication component. Specifically, the disinfecting component according to Embodiment 3 is sodium hypochlorite.

FIG. 17 is a front view of the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 17, in the third embodiment, the main body 121 of the support 12 has a salt inlet port 123. Specifically, the insertion port 123 is a through hole penetrating the wall 121 b of the main body 121. When the user inserts the salt from the inlet 123, the salt falls into the storage unit 21. In addition, it is preferable that the salt injected | thrown-in is a lump which has a shape which is easy to inject | throw-in from the insertion port 123. FIG. For example, it is preferable that salt is rock salt or a salt pellet.

FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view of the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 according to the third embodiment. In the present embodiment, the electrode pair 22 includes two platinum electrodes. As described with reference to FIG. 17, when the user inserts salt from the inlet 123, the salt falls into the storage unit 21 and dissolves in the water L. When the electrode pair 22 is energized in a state where sodium chloride is dissolved (dissolved) in the water L, a chlorine-based disinfecting component is generated. In detail, sodium hypochlorite water is produced | generated by supplying with current to the electrode pair 22 and performing electrolysis.

Then, with reference to FIG.11, FIG.17 and FIG. 18, the operation | movement of the disinfecting liquid spreading device 1 which concerns on Embodiment 3 is demonstrated. The user inputs a predetermined amount of sodium chloride from the inlet 123 before the start of the sterilization operation. Thereafter, the user depresses the sterilization button 34 of the operation unit 30 to cause the sterilization solution dispersion apparatus 1 to execute the sterilization operation.

When the control device 220 receives a signal instructing the start of the sterilization operation from the operation unit 30, the control device 220 drives the adjusting valve 15 to inject a predetermined amount of raw water L into the storage unit 21 to dissolve the salt. In addition, as for the addition amount of salt, 0.1 weight% or more and 5 weight% or less are desirable.

When the raw water L of a predetermined amount is injected into the housing portion 21, the control device 220 causes the electrode pair 22 to be energized. As a result, electrolysis is performed in the housing portion 21. For example, a platinum-coated titanium electrode having a diameter of 1 mm and a length of 30 mm is used for each of the electrodes constituting the electrode pair 22, the distance between the electrodes is 3 mm, 1 g of sodium chloride is introduced into the storage portion 21 and 100 ml of raw water L is added. When water is injected into the housing portion 21, in other words, when the addition amount of sodium chloride is 1% by weight, when a voltage of 5 V DC is applied to the electrode pair 22, a current of 150 mA or more and 170 mA or less flows between the electrodes to cause electrolysis. As the concentration of hypochlorous acid is increased, electrolysis of about one minute can produce about 10 ppm of sodium hypochlorite.

Specifically, hydrogen ions (H ⁺ ) are generated at the anode of the electrode pair 22. In addition, oxygen gas and chlorine gas are generated (Formula (1) and Formula (2)).
_{H 2 O → (1/2) O} 2 ↑ + 2H + + 2e - ··· formula (1)
2Cl → Cl ₂ + 2e ^- ··· formula (2)

Chlorine gas dissolves easily in water and changes to hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite ion in water as shown in the formulas (3) and (4).

Therefore, by performing electrolysis, disinfected water having an increased concentration of sodium hypochlorite can be generated. The concentration of sodium hypochlorite is preferably 5 ppm or more and less than 50 ppm. It is desirable that the effective chlorine concentration is 5 ppm or more because the lowest concentration at which the spores such as mold can be eliminated in the free state is 5 ppm. Moreover, it is desirable that the effective chlorine concentration is less than 50 ppm because, when the effective chlorine concentration is 50 ppm or more, it becomes easy to feel the chlorine smell from the mist of the disinfecting solution.

After energizing the electrode pair 22, the control device 220 generates an ultrasonic wave from the ultrasonic wave generation element 23 as described in the first embodiment. Further, the control device 220 drives the fan motor 212 to generate a wind for blowing the mist of the disinfecting solution. As a result, the mist of the disinfecting solution is delivered from the delivery port 1a.

The third embodiment has been described above. According to the present embodiment, the hypochlorous acid water is atomized by the ultrasonic element, and the mist of the hypochlorous acid water is blown through the guide surface 251 by the air blowing from the air blower 210 (FIG. 2). Can be sent from Therefore, as in the first embodiment, the disinfecting solution can be uniformly attached to the panel 101, the ceiling surface SS, and the wall surface WS without being biased to a specific range.

In addition, although the form which inject | pours sodium chloride from the insertion port 123 was demonstrated in this embodiment, you may inject sodium chloride via the delivery port 1a demonstrated in Embodiment 1. FIG.

The embodiments of the present invention have been described above with reference to the drawings. According to the present embodiment, the mist of the disinfecting solution can be blown using the blower 210 (FIG. 2) of the bathroom environment adjustment device 100. In other words, it is possible to use the wind generated in the blower 210 for blowing the mist of the bacteria removal solution and to switch to other uses other than blowing the mist of the bacteria removal solution. The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and can be implemented in various modes without departing from the scope of the invention.

For example, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the bathroom environment adjustment device 100 is a bathroom heating and drying device with a mist sauna, but the bathroom environment adjustment device 100 is a bathroom heating and drying device, a bathroom heating device, or a bathroom drying device. May be

Moreover, although the bathroom environment adjustment apparatus 100 was installed in the ceiling part of the bathroom in the embodiment by this invention, the bathroom environment adjustment apparatus 100 may be installed in the wall surface part of the bathroom. For example, the bathroom environment adjustment device 100 may be installed on the top of the wall portion.

In the embodiment according to the present invention, the guide surface 251 guides the mist of the disinfecting solution to the ceiling surface SS of the bathroom, but the guide surface 251 may guide the mist of the disinfecting solution to the wall WS of the bathroom.

The support member 16 protrudes from the first unit 10 to immerse the electrode pair 22 in the water L or the sterilizing solution.

Moreover, in the embodiment according to the present invention, the guide surface 251 is a flat inclined surface, but the guide surface 251 may include a curved surface as shown in FIG. 20, for example. FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view of the sterilizing solution spraying device 1 according to still another embodiment.

In the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 shown in FIG. 20, the housing portion 21 includes a side wall that bulges inward, and this side wall functions as a guide member 25. In other words, the inner side surface of the side wall of the accommodation portion 21 functions as the guide surface 251. In addition, in the disinfecting liquid spreading device 1 shown in FIG. 20, the support member 122 supports the accommodating part 21 so that attachment or detachment is possible.

In the embodiment according to the present invention, the guide surface 251 is an inclined surface, but the guide surface 251 may include a vertical surface. For example, when the bathroom environment adjustment device 100 is installed on the wall of the bathroom, the guide surface 251 may include a vertical surface parallel to the wall WS of the bathroom. In this case, the mist of the sterilizing solution is sent upward from the guide surface 251 and flows along the wall WS of the bathroom.

However, the disinfecting solution spraying device 1 may not have the guide surface 251. For example, even if the storage portion 21 is provided with a side wall which is erected in the vertical direction and the upper end faces the panel 101, the mist of the disinfecting solution is sent out from the gap between the upper end of the storage portion 21 and the panel 101. Good.

Further, in the description described above with reference to FIGS. 4, 6, 9, 16, and 18 to 20, the guide surface 251 is formed on the inner side surface of the guide member 25 or the storage portion 21. As shown in 21, a guide surface 251 may be formed on the outer side surface of the housing portion 21. The disinfecting solution spreading device 1 shown in FIG. 21 includes a housing portion 21, an electrode pair 22, an ultrasonic wave generating element 23, and a water level sensor 24. For example, the disinfecting solution spreading device 1 is supported at a portion of the panel 101 other than the movable air direction plate 102.

The storage unit 21 stores a solvent. In the present embodiment, the solvent is water L. The housing portion 21 has a box shape whose upper surface is open.
