Hereinafter, in order to explain the present invention in more detail, modes for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
In the following Embodiment 1, as an example, the storage container is a “laundry basket” used in a house. The laundry basket stores dirty clothes and the like generated in daily life as stored items. In the first embodiment, clothing includes cloth diapers and paper diapers. In the following description, storage items such as dirty clothes stored in the laundry basket are collectively referred to simply as “clothing”.
For example, a user stores clothes that need to be washed in a laundry basket for a certain period, and when washing, moves the clothes stored in the laundry basket to a processing tub of the washing machine and performs washing.
The laundry basket according to Embodiment 1 can remove odors attached to clothes before washing, or remove odors generated by leaving clothes alone.

FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of an appearance of a laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the laundry basket 1.
As shown in FIG. 1, the laundry basket 1 includes a deodorizing unit 10, a storage unit 20, and a humidity adjusting unit 30. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the laundry basket 1 has a substantially elliptical shape in plan view. Specifically, each of the deodorizing unit 10 and the storage unit 20 of the laundry basket 1 has, for example, a substantially elliptical shape in plan view.

The storage unit 20 is detachably installed inside the deodorizing unit 10. Specifically, the storage unit 20 is detachably installed in a space for storing the storage unit 20 (hereinafter referred to as “storage space”) that the deodorizing unit 10 has. In addition, in FIG. 1, the storage part 20 is made into the perspective view which shows the state removed from the deodorizing part 10. In FIG.
The storage unit 20 includes a storage case 201 and a handle unit 202.
A wall 2010 (first wall portion) of the storage case 201 defines a space (hereinafter referred to as “storage space”) for storing clothing (not shown) therein and has a mesh-like structure. .
The size of the mesh of the wall 2010 of the storage case 201 is 5 mm square or the like, at least, while the laundry basket 1 is operating, air containing discharge products or water vapor can pass through, but clothes or children's fingers etc. The size is such that it cannot pass. The discharge product will be described later.
In the first embodiment, the mesh of the wall 2010 of the storage case 201 is also referred to as “first through hole” (indicated by 2011 in FIG. 1).

Here, FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the discharge mechanism of the deodorizing unit 10 of the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment. 2A is a perspective view of the laundry basket 1 in a state in which the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorizing unit 10, and FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a part of the AA ′ cross section of FIG. 2A. FIG. 2B is a diagram showing a part of the BB ′ cross section of FIGS. 2A and 2B. FIG. 2D is a diagram for explaining an example of a gap formed by an inner wall portion 101a (described later) and a support member 1013 (described later) in the deodorizing case 101.

As shown in FIG. 2B, the deodorizing case 101 includes an inner wall portion 101a, an outer wall portion 101b, an upper wall portion 101c, and a bottom wall portion 101d. The inner wall portion 101a is a wall on the storage space side of the deodorizing case 101, and the outer wall portion 101b is a wall on the side opposite to the storage space of the deodorizing case 101. Hereinafter, the inner wall portion 101a and the outer wall portion 101b are also simply referred to as “wall 1010”.

A wire net 1011 and a wire electrode 1012 are attached to the deodorizing case 101.
The wire mesh 1011 is attached over the entire surface of the inner wall 101a of the deodorizing case 101 on the storage space side. In the first embodiment, the mesh of the metal mesh 1011 is also referred to as “second through hole” (indicated by 10111 in FIG. 2).

In the deodorizing case 101, the wire electrode 1012 is provided on the side opposite to the storage space with respect to the wire net 1011. In the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the wire electrode 1012 is provided inside the inner wall portion 101 a itself of the deodorizing case 101.
The wire electrode 1012 is stretched around the inner wall portion 101a along the inner wall portion 101a of the deodorizing case 101, and attached so that a plurality of layers are formed in the vertical direction of the inner wall portion 101a of the deodorizing case 101. It is done. In the first embodiment, the wire electrode 1012 is provided so that a plurality of layers are formed. However, this is only an example, and the wire electrode 1012 has one inner wall portion 101a of the deodorizing case 101. It may be attached so that only one layer is formed.

The wire electrode 1012 is supported by the support member 1013, and the position in the height direction of the deodorizing case 101 is positioned.

The support member 1013 is formed of, for example, resin, and is formed so that the upper end and the lower end are sandwiched between the inner wall portions 101a of the deodorizing case 101, respectively.
In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the support member 1013 and the inner wall portion 101a are integrally formed of resin. However, this is only an example, and the support member 1013 and the inner wall portion 101a may be formed as separate bodies and connected by an appropriate method.

The support member 1013 has a support hole 1013 a for supporting the wire electrode 1012.
The width of the support member 1013 in the direction parallel to the direction in which the wire electrode 1012 supported by the support member 1013 extends may be set to an appropriate length. However, the support member 1013 is not provided over the entire circumference of the inner wall portion 101a, but between the inner wall portion 101a connected to the upper side of the support member 1013 and the inner wall portion 101a connected to the lower side of the support member 1013. A gap through which air passes (hereinafter referred to as “third through hole” (indicated by 10112 in FIG. 2)) is provided (see FIGS. 2C and 2D).
Note that the third through-hole 10112 needs to have an appropriate size and an appropriate number so as not to hinder the air flow.

The metal mesh 1011 functions as a ground electrode, and the wire electrode 1012 functions as a discharge electrode. The wire mesh 1011 and the wire electrode 1012 constitute the discharge mechanism 11.
The laundry basket 1 includes a power cord and a power receiving unit (not shown) that receives power from the power source via a power line (not shown) provided inside the laundry basket 1. Electric power received by the power receiving unit causes discharge between the wire mesh 1011 and the wire electrode 1012, and discharge products such as ions or ozone gas are generated in the air. Since the discharge is an existing general technique, a detailed description thereof is omitted.
Specifically, the discharge operation by the discharge mechanism 11 is controlled by a discharge controller.
A specific control operation for the discharge mechanism 11 by the discharge controller will be described later.

The wire mesh 1011 and the wire electrode 1012 are configured such that the wire mesh 1011 is attached to the storage space side of the storage case 201 and the wire electrode 1012 is attached to the wire mesh 1011 on the side opposite to the storage space.
That is, the wall 2010, the wire mesh 1011, and the wire electrode 1012 are arranged at a position where the wire mesh 1011 is sandwiched between the wall 2010 of the storage case 201 and the wire electrode 1012.
The first through hole 2011, the second through hole 10111, and the third through hole 10112 are in the order of the first through hole 2011, the second through hole 10111, and the third through hole 10112, as viewed from the storage space. To be provided.
The discharge product generated by the discharge mechanism 11 moves together with air, passes through the third through hole 10112, then passes through the second through hole 10111, and further passes through the first through hole 2011, and then the storage case. It reaches the storage space 201.

As shown in FIG. 1, the deodorizing case 101 has a space between the inner wall portion 101a and the outer wall portion 101b, and a blower portion is provided in the space. In the first embodiment, the air blowing unit is, for example, a fan 1014. In FIG. 2C, illustration of the fan 1014 is omitted.
It is sufficient that at least one fan 1014 is provided at an appropriate position in the space between the inner wall portion 101a and the outer wall portion 101b.
The fan 1014 is attached to the deodorizing case 101 by an appropriate method.
The fan 1014 is connected to a motor (not shown). When the motor is driven, the fan 1014 is driven and blows air toward the storage space.

When the fan 1014 is driven, the air sent from the fan 1014 passes through the third through hole 10112 and the second through hole 10111 together with the discharge product generated by the discharge mechanism 11, and is sent to the storage case 201.
The air and discharge products sent to the storage case 201 pass through the first through hole 2011 and are sent into the storage space of the storage case 201.
As described above, the discharge product generated by the discharge mechanism 11 is guided into the storage space through the first through-hole 2011 and is stored in the storage space of the storage case 201. The virus and discharge products come into contact.
Thereby, the oxidation action or neutralization action by the discharge product is generated, and the odorous substance in the clothes is deodorized.
Furthermore, the oxidation action by the discharge product is generated, so that microorganisms or viruses in the clothes are sterilized.
In addition, due to the oxidation effect of the discharge product, the surface of the dirt attached to the clothing is made hydrophilic, and when the washing is performed later in the washing machine, the dirt is easily dissolved in water and easily removed.
In addition, the laundry basket 1 is provided with a fan 1014, and the fan 1014 blows air toward the storage space, so that the clothes in the storage space can be stored in the state where the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorizing unit 10. And the discharge product can be efficiently contacted, and the deodorizing effect of the clothes can be enhanced.

As described above, the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment is provided at a position where the storage space and the discharge mechanism 11 are close to each other, and the laundry basket 1 is a discharge product generated by the discharge mechanism 11. Can be quickly brought into contact with the clothing in the storage space to deodorize the clothing.
Further, since the laundry basket 1 includes the wire net 1011 between the deodorizing case 101 and the storage case 201, the current generated in the deodorizing case 101 is not transmitted to the storage case 201 side. Electric leakage into the storage case 201 can be prevented. Moreover, the material of the storage case 201 can be made into an appropriate material.
Moreover, the storage case 201 has a mesh shape, thereby serving as a case for storing clothing and as the first through hole 2011 through which the discharge product sent from the deodorizing unit 10 passes.

The configuration of the humidity adjusting unit 30 (see FIG. 1) will be described.
The humidity adjusting unit 30 is provided in order to improve the effect of deodorizing or sterilizing clothes or decomposing dirt in the storage case 201.
The humidity adjusting unit 30 is, for example, a cooling unit using a Peltier element.
Here, FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of the humidity adjusting unit 30 provided in the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment.
For example, the humidity adjusting unit 30 opposes a pair of Peltier circuit boards 301 having a circuit formed on one side of an insulating plate made of alumina or aluminum nitride having high thermal conductivity so that the circuits face each other. In addition, the humidity adjusting unit 30 sandwiches BiTe Peltier elements 302 arranged in a large number between the Peltier circuit boards 301 and electrically connects adjacent Peltier elements 302 with circuits on both sides. The heat is transferred from one Peltier circuit board 301 side to the other Peltier circuit board 301 side by energizing the Peltier element 302 through a Peltier input lead wire (not shown). is there.
Thus, the humidity adjusting unit 30 performs a cooling operation using an existing general cooling method using a Peltier element, for example.
Note that the Peltier input lead wire is connected to, for example, a power line provided inside the laundry basket 1.
The humidity adjusting unit 30 is operated by electric power from the power source received by the power receiving unit.
The operation of the humidity adjustment unit 30 is controlled by the humidity adjustment control unit.
A specific control operation for the humidity adjustment unit 30 by the humidity adjustment control unit will be described later.

Next, various control operations by the control unit in the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment will be described.
First, the opening / closing control of the lid 102 by the lid controller in the laundry basket 1 will be described with a specific example.
When the lid controller receives a lid unlocking instruction, the lid controller 102 unlocks the lid 102.
Specifically, for example, the user turns on the laundry basket 1 and presses an “open” button provided on the lid 102 or the deodorizing case 101 to input a lid unlocking instruction. In addition, for example, the user may input a lid unlocking instruction by operating a remote controller or the like. In this case, a communication unit (not shown) included in the laundry basket 1 receives the lid unlocking instruction transmitted from the remote controller.
The lid control unit receives a lid unlocking instruction and unlocks the lid unit 102. When the lid 102 is unlocked, the lid 102 can be opened and closed.
Conversely, when the lid control unit receives a lid locking instruction, it locks the lid unit 102.
Specifically, for example, the user inputs a lid locking instruction by pressing a “close” button provided on the lid 102 or the deodorizing case 101. Further, for example, the user may input a lid locking instruction by operating a remote controller or the like.
The lid control unit receives a lid locking instruction and locks the lid unit 102.

In addition, the lid control unit causes the interlock device to lock or unlock the lid unit 102 under a preset condition.
For example, when ozone gas is contained in the above-described discharge product, the lid controller controls the lid 102 based on the ozone gas concentration in the storage space as follows.
First, the lid control unit acquires information on the ozone concentration in the storage space and information on the discharge voltage in the discharge mechanism 11 from an ozone gas concentration sensor (not shown) and a discharge voltage measurement unit (not shown), respectively. The ozone gas concentration sensor and the discharge voltage measuring unit are provided at appropriate locations in the laundry basket 1.
When the ozone gas concentration in the storage space is greater than 0.05 ppm or the discharge voltage in the discharge mechanism 11 is greater than 0 kV, the lid control unit locks the lid 102 on the interlock device, and The part 102 cannot be opened and closed.
Then, the lid controller causes the interlock device to unlock the lid 102 when the ozone gas concentration in the storage space is 0.05 ppm or less and the discharge voltage in the discharge mechanism 11 is 0 kV, The lid 102 can be opened and closed.
The ozone gas concentration of 0.05 ppm or less is a global indoor environment standard. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stipulates that the maximum allowable concentration for indoor environmental standards is 0.05 ppm (24 hr) (1992). In addition, the Japan Air Cleaners Association has determined that the maximum allowable indoor gas concentration (design standard, provisional) by instruments that generate ozone is 0.1 ppm at the maximum and 0.05 ppm on the average.
In addition, ozone gas has a high deodorizing effect, but has a great influence on the human body.
If the lid 102 is opened while high-concentration ozone gas is prevalent in the storage space, the ozone gas leaks out of the laundry basket 1 from the storage space and affects the human body.
As described above, the lid control unit controls the lid 102 to be opened and closed when the ozone gas concentration is 0.05 ppm or less and the discharge voltage is 0 kV. Can be prevented from leaking.

Next, the control operation for the discharge mechanism 11 by the discharge controller in the laundry basket 1 will be described with a specific example.
For example, the user turns on the laundry basket 1, opens the lid 102, and puts clothes for deodorization in the storage space. After that, since a certain period of time has passed, the user deodorizes the clothing that is left in the storage space.
The user turns on the laundry basket 1 and inputs a deodorization start instruction. For example, the user inputs a deodorization start instruction by pressing a “deodorization start” button provided on the lid 102 or the outer wall 101 b of the deodorization case 101. Further, for example, the user may input a deodorization start instruction by operating a remote controller or the like. In this case, the communication unit included in the laundry basket 1 receives the deodorization start instruction transmitted from the remote controller.
The discharge control unit receives a deodorization start instruction, performs control so that an applied voltage is supplied to the discharge mechanism 11, and operates the discharge mechanism 11. Thereby, a discharge product is produced | generated from the discharge mechanism 11, the produced | generated discharge product is sent in storage space with air, and deodorizing of clothing is performed.

The discharge control unit can also operate the discharge mechanism 11 while controlling the concentration of the generated discharge product.
For example, when the discharge mechanism 11 generates ozone gas, the discharge control unit can cause the discharge mechanism 11 to control the generated ozone gas concentration to 0.05 ppm or less.
As described above, the ozone gas not only has a great influence on the human body, but if high-concentration ozone gas comes into contact with the clothing, the clothing may be damaged.
Therefore, the discharge control unit controls the ozone gas concentration generated by the discharge mechanism 11 to 0.05 ppm or less.
Specifically, the discharge control unit acquires information on the ozone concentration in the storage space from the ozone gas concentration sensor, and reduces the applied voltage to the discharge mechanism 11 if it is 0.05 ppm or more.
The discharge mechanism 11 can change the concentration of ozone gas to be generated according to changes in the supplied applied voltage and frequency.

In the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment, the discharge mechanism 11 can generate ozone gas and negative ions as discharge products.
For example, as described above, even when the discharge control unit controls the ozone gas concentration to be 0.05 ppm or less, the laundry basket 1 can be used to deodorize with ozone gas and negative ions, so that the laundry basket 1 has a low ozone gas concentration. Deodorization with reduced damage can be performed.

When the discharge mechanism 11 is operated as described above, the discharge control unit notifies the lid control unit that the discharge is being performed.
When the lid control unit receives notification from the discharge control unit that discharging is in progress, the lid control unit locks the lid unit 102 with respect to the interlock device.
As a result, the user opens the lid 102 during the discharge, and discharge products generated in the deodorizing case 101 and spreading in the storage space are released from the storage space to the outside of the laundry basket 1. Can be prevented.

Next, the control operation for the humidity control unit 30 by the humidity control unit in the laundry basket 1 will be described with a specific example.
For example, when the user wants to deodorize clothing, as described above, the user turns on the laundry basket 1 and inputs a deodorization start instruction. Since the input method of the deodorization start instruction by the user has been described with an example, the redundant description is omitted.
The humidity adjustment control unit receives a deodorization start instruction, performs control so that power is supplied to the humidity adjustment unit 30, and operates the humidity adjustment unit 30.
The humidity adjustment unit 30 reduces the temperature in the storage space based on the control of the humidity adjustment control unit.

When the humidity adjusting unit 30 lowers the temperature in the storage space, the amount of saturated water vapor in the storage space decreases. As a result, the relative humidity in the storage space increases.
The humidity adjusting unit 30 adjusts the relative humidity in the storage space by lowering the temperature in the storage space as necessary.
When the fan 1014 is driven and air is sent into the storage space while the clothes are stored in the storage space, moisture in the clothes is vaporized by the air sent from the fan 1014, and the absolute humidity in the storage space Will increase. When the temperature in the storage space is lowered under such circumstances, the relative humidity in the storage space is more likely to rise than the relative humidity in the storage space at a normal temperature.

When the relative humidity in the storage space increases, the number of water molecules in the air increases, and the concentration of water ions containing OH radicals increases as a discharge product. As a result, the oxidizing power by the discharge product is increased. As a result, the deodorizing effect and the sterilizing effect by the discharge product are improved by lowering the temperature and increasing the relative humidity than when performing the deodorizing and sterilizing at normal temperature.
Further, when the relative humidity is increased, the oxidizing power by the discharge product is improved and the soil decomposition effect is improved as compared with the case where the soil is decomposed at room temperature. In addition, when the relative humidity increases, the evaporation of moisture from the dirt attached to the clothing is suppressed, so that the dirt attached to the clothing becomes difficult to solidify, and when the clothing is later washed in the washing machine, the dirt is removed. It becomes easy to fall.
Moreover, when the temperature in the storage space decreases, the growth of microorganisms in the storage space is suppressed, and the sterilization effect is improved.

When the relative humidity in the storage space is 60% or more, the deodorizing effect in the storage space is enhanced.
Therefore, the humidity adjustment control unit controls the humidity adjustment unit 30 to lower the temperature in the storage space until the relative humidity in the storage space reaches 60% or more.
For example, the humidity adjustment control unit acquires information on the relative humidity in the storage space from a humidity sensor (not shown) provided at an appropriate location of the storage case 201, and adjusts the humidity based on the acquired information on the relative humidity. The unit 30 may be controlled.
The humidity adjustment unit 30 adjusts the relative humidity in the storage space to 60% or more based on the control of the humidity adjustment control unit.

Further, when the relative humidity in the storage space becomes 80%, the deodorizing effect in the storage space is further increased. Therefore, the humidity adjustment control unit controls the temperature in the storage space until the relative humidity in the storage case 201 becomes 80% or more. It is more desirable to control the humidity adjusting unit 30 so as to lower the temperature.
The humidity adjustment unit 30 adjusts the relative humidity in the storage space to 80% or more based on the control of the humidity adjustment control unit.

As described above, the discharge control unit and the humidity adjustment control unit respectively control the discharge operation for the discharge mechanism 11 and the cooling operation for the humidity adjustment unit 30 based on the deodorization start instruction. At that time, the discharge control unit and the humidity adjustment control unit perform humidity adjustment by the humidity adjustment unit 30, and after the relative humidity reaches a predetermined state, the discharge by the discharge mechanism 11 is started and a discharge product is generated. As described above, the humidity adjusting unit 30 and the discharge mechanism 11 are controlled. Details will be described below.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the order of the cooling operation by the humidity adjusting unit 30 and the discharging operation by the discharging mechanism 11 when the clothes are deodorized in the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment.
When the user turns on the laundry basket 1 and inputs a deodorization start instruction, the humidity adjustment control unit and the discharge control unit accept the deodorization start instruction (step ST401).
When a deodorization start instruction is accepted in step ST401, first, the humidity adjustment control unit controls the humidity adjustment unit 30 to lower the temperature in the storage space, and the humidity adjustment unit 30 cools the storage space. (Step ST402).
The humidity adjustment control unit determines whether or not the relative humidity in the storage space has reached the target relative humidity (step ST403). The target relative humidity is the above-described relative humidity that increases the deodorizing effect in the storage space, and is 60% or more, or more preferably 80% or more. The target relative humidity is set in advance. Here, it is assumed that the target relative humidity is set to 80% or more.

When the humidity adjustment control unit determines that the relative humidity in the storage space is not 80% or more (in the case of “NO” in step ST403), the process returns to step ST402.

On the other hand, when the humidity adjustment control unit determines that the relative humidity in the storage space has reached 80% or more (in the case of “YES” in step ST403), the humidity adjustment control unit notifies the discharge control unit that the relative humidity is 80%. Notify that the percentage is over.

The discharge control unit, when notified from the humidity adjustment control unit that the relative humidity in the storage space has reached 80% or more, controls the discharge product to be generated (step ST404). Specifically, the discharge controller causes the discharge mechanism 11 to start discharge and generate a discharge product.
Even after it is determined in step ST403 that the relative humidity in the storage space has reached 80% or more, the humidity adjustment control unit performs the relative adjustment in the storage space while the discharge mechanism 11 is discharging in step ST404. Control of the humidity adjusting unit 30 is continued so that the humidity is maintained at 80% or more.
In step ST404, the discharge control unit controls the discharge mechanism 11 and notifies the lid control unit that discharging is in progress. The lid control unit locks the lid unit 102 with respect to the interlock device.

The humidity adjustment control unit and the discharge control unit determine whether a deodorization end instruction has been received (step ST405).
For example, the user inputs a deodorization termination instruction by pressing a “deodorization termination” button provided on the lid 102 or the outer wall 101 b of the deodorization case 101. For example, the user may input a deodorization end instruction by operating a remote controller or the like.
The humidity adjustment control unit and the discharge control unit receive a deodorization end instruction input by the user.

In step ST405, when the humidity adjustment control unit and the discharge control unit have not received the deodorization end instruction (in the case of “NO” in step ST405), the process returns to step ST404.

On the other hand, in step ST405, when the humidity adjustment control unit and the discharge control unit receive a deodorization end instruction (in the case of “YES” in step ST405), the humidity adjustment unit 30 stops adjusting the humidity, The discharge mechanism 11 is controlled to stop the generation of discharge products (step ST406).
Thereby, the deodorizing operation in the laundry basket 1 is stopped.

As described above, the discharge control unit controls the discharge mechanism 11 to generate a discharge product after the humidity adjustment control unit adjusts the relative humidity in the storage space with respect to the humidity adjustment unit 30.
As a result, the laundry basket 1 generates the discharge product in the storage space with an environment having a high deodorizing effect, and the generated discharge product is brought into contact with the clothes stored in the storage space. Therefore, deodorization can be performed more effectively.

Note that the fan 1014 may be operated at the stage of step ST402 of the above-described operation of FIG. 4, or may be operated at the stage of step ST404.
Further, the fan 1014 is stopped at the stage of step ST406 of the above-described operation of FIG.

The configuration and the like of the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment are not limited to the configuration described above and can be modified as appropriate, and will be described below.
In the above description, the discharge electrode is the wire electrode 1012 as shown in FIG.
However, the discharge electrode is not limited to the wire electrode 1012. For example, the discharge electrode can be a ribbon electrode or a needle electrode.
Ribbon-shaped electrode is a rectangular or similar conductive ribbon with an area of 0.1 mm x 0.5 mm (the short side is the thickness of the ribbon, the thickness is 0.05 mm to 0.5 mm, the width is 0.3 mm) ˜1 mm, material tungsten, titanium, stainless steel, conductive resin, etc.). Ribbon-shaped electrodes can be charged more efficiently if the surface on the short side (0.1 mm) side of the cross-sectional area is directed to the ground electrode. By using a ribbon-like electrode, the effect of disconnection due to electrode wear due to sputtering during discharge can be reduced compared to the wire electrode 1012. In addition, the strength is stronger than the wire electrode 1012, and there is an effect that it is not easily broken. Ribbon-shaped electrodes are processed into flat strips (thickness 0.05 to 0.5 mm) by etching, wire processing, laser processing, sheet metal punching, etc. so that strips with a width of 0.3 to 1.0 mm are lined up. In order to maintain the resistance, the surroundings may be used as a discharge electrode by bending such as hemming bending or by reinforcing with an insulator or the like.
5 illustrates an example of the discharge mechanism 11 when the wire electrode 1012 illustrated in FIG. 2 is a needle electrode with respect to the discharge mechanism 11 included in the deodorizing unit 10 of the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG.
5A is a perspective view of the laundry basket 1 in a state in which the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorizing unit 10, and FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a part of the AA ′ cross section of FIG. 5A. FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a part of a BB ′ cross section in FIGS. 5A and 5B. FIG. 5D is a diagram for explaining an example of a gap formed between the inner wall portion 101a and a support member 1016 (described later) in the deodorizing case 101. 5A is the same as FIG. 2A.

As shown in FIG. 5, the deodorizing case 101 is provided with a wire net 1011 and a needle electrode 1015. In this case, the wire net 1011 and the needle electrode 1015 constitute the discharge mechanism 11.
The needle electrode 1015 is provided on the opposite side of the wire net 1011 from the storage space in the deodorizing case 101, like the wire electrode 1012 described in FIG.
For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the needle electrode 1015 is attached to the storage case 201 by an appropriate method so that the needle electrode 1015 extends from the upper wall portion 101c of the storage case 201 toward the bottom wall portion 101d. It is done.

As shown in FIG. 5A, when the needle electrode 1015 is used in the discharge mechanism 11, a support member for supporting the needle electrode 1015 is not necessary. However, the third through hole 10112 for sending the air sent from the fan 1014 to the storage space of the storage case 201 is necessary.
Therefore, the deodorizing case 101 has a support member 1016 that does not have the support hole 1013a (see FIG. 2) (see FIGS. 5C and 5D). The shape of the support member 1016 may be the same shape as the support member 1013 described with reference to FIG. 2 except that the support hole 1013a is not provided.
Further, the support member 1016 and the inner wall portion 101a may be integrally formed of resin, or the support member 1013 and the inner wall portion 101a may be formed as separate bodies and connected by an appropriate method. Also good.

In FIG. 5, the upper end of the needle electrode 1015 extending from the upper wall portion 101c of the storage case 201 toward the bottom wall portion 101d is attached to the inner wall portion 101a of the deodorizing case 101. The method is not limited to this. For example, the needle electrode 1015 may extend from the bottom wall portion 101d of the storage case 201 toward the upper wall portion 101c, and the lower end of the needle electrode 1015 may be attached to the inner wall portion 101a.
Further, for example, the needle electrode 1015 may be attached to the support member 1016 instead of being attached to the inner wall portion 101a.

Thus, the discharge electrode may be a needle electrode 1015, for example. The discharge electrode is discharged by the discharge mechanism 11 to generate a discharge product, and the discharge product generated by the discharge mechanism 11 together with air is stored from the deodorizing case 101 into the storage case 201. What is necessary is just to be comprised so that it may be sent inward.

In the above description, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 and the like, the deodorizing unit 10 and the storage unit 20 have a substantially elliptical shape, but this is only an example.
For example, the deodorizing unit 10 and the storage unit 20 may have a circular shape, a rectangular shape, or a donut shape. The deodorization unit 10 and the storage unit 20 are detachably stored in the deodorization unit 10 through the opening of the deodorization unit 10, and the storage case 201 stores clothes inside the opening of the storage case 201. If it can be stored, it can have an appropriate shape.

FIG. 6 shows a perspective view of the laundry basket 1 in the case where the storage unit 20 is a donut shape in the first embodiment. In FIG. 6, the deodorizing part 10 is made into the substantially elliptical shape as shown in FIG.
FIG. 6 shows a state in which the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorizing unit 10, and the illustration of the lid unit 102 and the handle unit 202 is omitted.

In the laundry basket 1 as shown in FIG. 6, the humidity adjusting unit 30 can be attached to the inner side of the inner wall 2010 of the donut-shaped storage unit 20, for example.
In this case, for example, the discharge mechanism 11 is attached to the outer wall 2010 of the storage unit 20 on the side opposite to the storage space in a state where the donut-type storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorization unit 10. To do.
Contrary to the above-described example, the discharge mechanism 11 can be attached to the inner side of the inner wall 2010 of the donut-shaped storage unit 20, for example.
In this case, for example, the humidity adjusting unit 30 is attached to the outer wall 2010 of the storage unit 20 on the opposite side to the storage space in a state where the donut-shaped storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorization unit 10. To.

In addition, for example, the storage case 201 and the deodorization case 101 may be donut-shaped, and the donut-type storage case 201 may be stored in the donut-type deodorization case 101.
In this case, the discharge mechanism 11 may be provided on the inner wall 1010 of the donut-shaped deodorizing case 101. The inner wall 1010 of the donut-shaped deodorizing case 101 refers to the wall 1010 of the deodorizing case 101 that is closer to the center of the laundry basket 1.
In the laundry basket 1, the discharge mechanism 11 is not limited to being arranged in the outer direction with respect to the storage space, but may be arranged in the inner direction with respect to the storage space as described above. Further, for example, the discharge mechanism 11 can be arranged in the lower direction with respect to the storage space, such as being provided on the bottom wall portion 101d of the deodorizing case 101.
The discharge mechanism 11 should just be arrange | positioned apart from the wall 2010 of the accommodating part 20, and should generate | occur | produce the discharge product guide | induced in the accommodation space through the 1st through-hole.
In any case, in the discharge mechanism 11, the ground electrode and the discharge electrode are always in the order of the storage unit 20, the ground electrode, and the discharge electrode when viewed from the storage space side in a state where the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorization unit 10. Thus, they are provided close to each other.

Moreover, not only the above-mentioned example but the humidity control part 30 can be provided in the appropriate position of the laundry basket 1. FIG.
For example, the humidity adjusting unit 30 may be provided inside the storage case 201 included in the storage unit 20, or may be provided inside the lid 102 included in the deodorizing unit 10.

In the above description, the discharge mechanism 11 is provided over the entire circumference of the deodorizing case 101. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the discharge mechanism 11 is, for example, only in a range of half the outer circumference of the deodorizing case 101. For example, it may be provided on a part of the wall 1010 of the deodorizing case 101.
The laundry basket 1 is reduced in size by providing the discharge mechanism 11 on a part of the wall 1010 of the deodorizing case 101 and reducing the installation area of the discharge mechanism 11.

Moreover, the discharge mechanism 11 is not limited to being provided on the wall 1010 of the deodorizing case 101, and can be provided at an appropriate position. However, the first through hole 2011 is provided in the wall 2010 of the storage unit 20 facing the discharge mechanism 11 provided in the deodorization unit 10 in a state where the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorization unit 10.
Specifically, for example, the discharge mechanism 11 may be attached to the bottom wall portion 101 d of the deodorizing case 101. In that case, in a state where the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorization unit 10, the bottom wall portion of the storage case 201 facing the discharge mechanism 11 has a mesh shape, and discharge products generated by the discharge mechanism 11 and air are generated. To be sent into the storage space.

Further, for example, the discharge mechanism 11 may be provided in the handle portion 202 of the storage unit 20 in addition to being provided in the deodorization case 101 of the deodorization unit 10.
For example, the discharge mechanism 11 is provided on two rod-like members (see FIG. 1) of the handle portion 202.
FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cross section of the handle portion 202 provided with the discharge mechanism 11 in the first embodiment. For example, the handle portion 202 has a shape as shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 7 shows a part of one cross section of two rod-like members of the handle portion 202. .

As shown in FIG. 7, in the handle portion 202, a wire net 1011 is attached to the rod-shaped member so as to cover the surface of the rod-shaped member.
A plurality of needle electrodes are attached inside the rod-shaped member. In the rod-shaped member, instead of the needle electrode, for example, the wire electrode may be attached inside the wire net 1011 so as to make one round of the outer circumference of the rod-shaped member. The needle electrode or the wire electrode is attached to the handle portion 202 by an appropriate installation method.
Since the discharge mechanism 11 is provided in the storage unit 20 in addition to the deodorization unit 10, the contact efficiency between the discharge product and the clothes is increased in the storage space, and the deodorization effect in the storage space is further increased.

In the above description, the handle portion 202 is fixedly provided in the storage case 201. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the handle portion 202 has a function of rotating and stirring the air in the storage space. It can also be made to have.
FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating an example of a cross-sectional view of the laundry basket 1 in which the handle 202 has a function of stirring the air in the storage space in the first embodiment.
In FIG. 8, the storage case 201 and the humidity adjusting unit 30 are not shown for convenience of explanation. FIG. 8 shows a section of the laundry basket 1 with the lid 102 closed.

The handle portion 202 includes a single rod-shaped member 801, a hooking portion 202 a provided on the rod-shaped member 801, and a stirring unit 802 provided on the rod-shaped member 801.
One end of the rod-shaped member 801 is rotatably supported by the storage case 201, and the other end is connected to the motor 81 provided on the lid 102 when the lid 102 is closed. Is done.

The stirring unit 802 is, for example, a plate-like member made of resin, and at least one or more stirrers 802 are provided on the rod-like member 801. The stirring unit 802 may be integrally formed with the rod-shaped member 801 or may be connected to the rod-shaped member 801 by an appropriate method.
The length of the stirring unit 802 in the height direction of the laundry basket 1 may be an appropriate length.
In addition, the thickness of the stirring unit 802 and the length in the direction from the center of the rod-shaped member 801 toward the wall surface of the storage case 201 are appropriately set so as not to interfere with clothing when stored in the storage space. The thickness and length may be used.

For example, when the user turns on the laundry basket 1 and inputs a deodorization start instruction, the user inputs a stirring instruction by pressing a “stirring” button provided on the lid 102 or the like.
The control unit of the laundry basket 1 receives the stirring instruction input by the user and drives the motor 81. When the motor 81 is driven, the rod-shaped member 801 rotates, and the air in the storage space is stirred by the stirring unit 802.

As described above, the laundry basket 1 includes the stirring unit 802 that stirs the air in the storage space in the storage unit 20, so that the clothes and the discharge products in the storage space can be removed during the deodorizing operation. Contact efficiency can be increased and deodorizing effect can be enhanced.
Here, as an example, the handle unit 202 has the agitating unit 802. However, the present invention is not limited to this example. For example, the agitating unit is driven on the wall surface of the storage case 201 by a motor. You may make it provide a stirring part in the place different from the handle part 202, such as providing a propeller.

In addition, the laundry basket 1 according to the first embodiment can be provided with a humidifying mechanism.
FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of the laundry basket 1 provided with the humidifying mechanism 90 in the first embodiment.
In FIG. 9, the storage case 201 and the humidity adjusting unit 30 are not shown for convenience of explanation. FIG. 9 shows a cross-sectional view of the laundry basket 1 with the lid 102 closed.
FIG. 9 shows an example in which a humidifying mechanism 90 is provided on the surface on the storage space side of the lid 102 of the laundry basket 1 as an example.

The humidifying mechanism 90 includes a humidifying case 901, a water supply unit 902, and a fan 903.
The humidifying case 901 has an opening on the upper surface, and the opening is closed by the lid 102.
A hydrophilic film is provided on the bottom surface 901a of the humidifying case 901, which is the surface facing the opening. The bottom surface 901a is provided with a plurality of fine holes through which water droplets can pass.
In addition, a water supply unit 902 is provided at the bottom of the humidifying case 901.
The fan 903 is provided in the humidification case 901. For example, the fan 903 is attached to the lid 102 that covers the upper surface of the humidifying case 901 by an appropriate method. The fan 903 is driven by a motor (not shown) attached to the laundry basket 1.
For example, the user puts a small amount of water in the water supply unit 902 before deodorizing clothes. The small amount of water is, for example, about 10 mL of water.
For example, the lid 102 is provided with a water supply path (not shown) that communicates with the water supply section 902, and the user can put water into the water supply section 902 via the water supply path.

When the user inputs a deodorization start instruction and the discharge control unit causes the discharge mechanism 11 to start discharging and generate a discharge product (see step ST404 in FIG. 4), the discharge control unit drives the fan 903. I will let you.
When the fan 903 is driven, the water supplied to the water supply unit 902 is diffused into the storage space through a plurality of fine holes provided in the bottom surface 901a of the humidifying case 901 by the air blown from the fan 903. .
As described above, the laundry basket 1 can supply moisture to the storage space by the humidifying mechanism 90, so that dry clothes such as sweaters stored in the storage space can be efficiently deodorized.

In the above description, the wall 2010 of the storage case 201 has a net-like structure, but this is only an example. The wall 2010 of the storage case 201 has a first through hole 2011, and the discharge product and air may pass through the first through hole 2011.
The storage unit 20 has a wall 2010 of the storage case 201 that defines a storage space and is provided with a first through hole 2011. In the discharge mechanism 11, the deodorizing unit 10 stores the storage unit 20 in the storage space. It is only necessary that the wall 1010 of the deodorizing case 101 is provided to be separated from the outside of the wall 1010 at a position facing at least a part of the plurality of first through holes 2011 in a state of being stored in the wall 1010.
In the above description, the ground electrode of the discharge mechanism 11 is the wire mesh 1011. However, the ground electrode is made of metal and has a plurality of second through holes 10111 through which discharge products and air can pass. Good.
The discharge mechanism 11 has a ground electrode provided facing the storage space and having a plurality of second through holes 10111, and a discharge electrode provided on the opposite side of the storage space with respect to the ground electrode. It only has to be.

In the above description, the fan 1014 is provided in the space between the inner wall 101a and the outer wall 101b of the deodorizing case 101, but this is only an example. The fan 1014 is set at a position where air can be blown toward the storage space so that the discharge product generated by the discharge mechanism 11 is moved into the storage space in a state where the storage unit 20 is stored in the deodorization unit 10. If two or more are provided, the deodorizing case 101 may be provided in a place other than the space between the inner wall 101a and the outer wall 101b.

In the above description, the laundry basket 1 performs the deodorization operation based on the deodorization start instruction and the deodorization end instruction input by the user, but this is only an example. For example, the laundry basket 1 may perform a deodorization operation when the power is turned on, or a user sets a timer in advance, and the laundry basket 1 starts or ends deodorization at the set time. It is good also as what to do.

In the above description, in the laundry basket 1, the storage unit 20 is detachably installed in the deodorizing unit 10, but this is only an example. In the laundry basket 1, the storage unit 20 may be fixedly installed inside the deodorizing unit 10.

In the first embodiment, as an example, the storage container is a “laundry basket” used in a house. However, the contents of the first embodiment are all kinds of storage that can store a storage object to be deodorized inside. Can be applied to containers.

As described above, according to the first embodiment, the laundry basket 1 (storage container) defines the storage space and has the first wall portion provided with the first through-hole 2011 and the outside of the first wall portion. The discharge mechanism 11 is arranged so as to be spaced apart and configured to generate a discharge product guided into the storage space via the first through-hole 2011. Therefore, it can be set as the storage container which can remove the smell of the storage thing using the discharge product efficiently.

According to the first embodiment, the discharge mechanism 11 is disposed at a position where the ground electrode (metal mesh 1011) having the second through hole 10111 corresponding to the first through hole and the ground wall is sandwiched between the first wall portion. The discharge product (wire electrode 1012) was configured to be generated by a discharge between the ground electrode and the discharge electrode. For this reason, the ground electrode is provided between the discharge electrode and the storage space on the storage space side with respect to the discharge electrode. Therefore, the current generated in the discharge mechanism 11 is not transmitted to the storage space, and the discharge mechanism 11 is transferred to the storage space. Can prevent leakage of electricity. Moreover, the material of the accommodating part 20 can be made into an appropriate material.

Further, according to the first embodiment, the laundry basket 1 is configured to further include the humidity adjusting unit 30 that adjusts the relative humidity in the storage unit 20 by lowering the temperature in the storage space.
