Description

加湿体ユニット及び加湿装置Humidifier unit and humidifier
　本発明は、加湿体ユニット及び加湿装置に関し、特に加湿体を配置するための構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a humidifier unit and a humidifier, and particularly to a structure for arranging a humidifier.
　３０００ｍ２以上の商業施設及び事務所などの特定建築物は、ビル衛生管理法により空気環境の管理基準値として温度１７～２８℃、相対湿度４０～７０％に保つことが定められている。温度に関してはエアーコンディショナーの普及に伴い比較的容易に管理されている。しかし、相対湿度は十分に管理されているとは言い難く、特に冬場の加湿量不足が課題となっている。従来の室内加湿方法としては、気化式、蒸気式及び水噴霧式等がある。このうち、気化式は、吸水性能を有するフィルターに通風することによってフィルターが含有する水分を気流と熱交換させて、フィルターから水分を蒸発させ、室内の加湿を行う方法である。気化式による室内加湿は、消費電力量も蒸気式および水噴霧式に比べて少なく、省エネ性が高い。 Specified buildings such as commercial facilities and offices of 3000 m 2 or more are stipulated by the Building Sanitation Management Law to keep the temperature at 17 to 28 ° C and the relative humidity at 40 to 70% as the control standard values for the air environment. The temperature is controlled relatively easily with the spread of air conditioners. However, it is hard to say that the relative humidity is sufficiently controlled, and the insufficient amount of humidification in winter is a problem. Conventional indoor humidification methods include vaporization type, steam type, water spray type and the like. Of these, the vaporization type is a method in which the moisture contained in the filter is exchanged with the air flow by ventilating the filter having water absorption performance to evaporate the moisture from the filter and humidify the room. Indoor humidification by vaporization type consumes less power than steam type and water spray type, and is highly energy efficient.
　従来の気化式の加湿方法を利用した加湿装置として、水を吸水する加湿体の上部に、加湿材に水を浸透させるための拡散材を配置し、加湿体に切り込みを入れて形成した湾曲部に拡散材を挿入して固定した加湿装置が提案されている（例えば特許文献１参照）。加湿装置は、加湿体の間を通風することで加湿体に吸水された水分を蒸発させ、室内を加湿する。そのため、加湿体の間隔を保持することが必要である。特許文献１に係る加湿装置は、加湿体間隔を保持するために加湿体に凸部を設けていることを特徴とするものである。 As a humidifying device using a conventional vaporization type humidifying method, a diffusing material for allowing water to permeate into the humidifying material is placed above the humidifying body that absorbs water, and a curved portion formed by making a cut in the humidifying body. A humidifying device in which a diffusing material is inserted and fixed is proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). The humidifying device evaporates the water absorbed by the humidifier by passing air between the humidifiers to humidify the room. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the distance between the humidifiers. The humidifying device according to Patent Document 1 is characterized in that a convex portion is provided on the humidifying body in order to maintain the space between the humidifying bodies.
国際公開第２０１５／１４５８８８号International Publication No. 2015/145888
　特許文献１に係る加湿装置は、加湿体に軟らかい材質が用いられている場合、又は加湿体の厚みが薄い場合、加湿体の強度が低い。よって、加湿体に切り込みを入れて形成した湾曲部に拡散材に挿入して固定すると、通風時に加湿体が拡散材から外れてしまうという課題があった。さらに、加湿体間隔を保持するために加湿体の平面に凸部を設けているが、加湿体に軟らかい材質が用いられている場合又は薄い加湿体の場合は、凸部を形成する際に加湿体が破けてしまうおそれがあった。 In the humidifier according to Patent Document 1, the strength of the humidifier is low when a soft material is used for the humidifier or when the thickness of the humidifier is thin. Therefore, there is a problem that the humidifier comes off from the diffuser at the time of ventilation when the humidifier is inserted into the diffuser and fixed to the curved portion formed by making a cut in the humidifier. Further, a convex portion is provided on the flat surface of the humidifier in order to maintain the interval between the humidifiers, but when a soft material is used for the humidifier or a thin humidifier, humidification is performed when forming the convex portion. There was a risk of my body tearing.
　本発明は、上記のような課題を解決するためになされたものであり、強度が低い加湿体であっても拡散材への固定及び加湿体間隔保持を可能とした、加湿体ユニット及び加湿装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a humidifier unit and a humidifier device capable of fixing to a diffusing material and maintaining a humidifier interval even with a humidifier having low strength. The purpose is to provide.
　本発明に係る加湿体ユニットは、加湿水を供給する給水部と、前記給水部の下方に配置される拡散材と、前記拡散材の下方に前記拡散材と接触して配置される複数の加湿体と、を備え、前記拡散材は、板状であり、内部に前記加湿水を拡散し、前記複数の加湿体それぞれは、板状であり一部分が当該複数の加湿体のそれぞれの板面方向に折り曲げられて形成される折り曲げ部を備え、前記複数の加湿体の前記板面方向に並列に並べられて配置されたものである。 The humidifying body unit according to the present invention includes a water supply unit that supplies humidified water, a diffuser that is arranged below the water supply unit, and a plurality of humidifiers that are arranged below the diffuser in contact with the diffuser. The diffusing material is plate-shaped and diffuses the humidifying water inside, and each of the plurality of humidifiers is plate-shaped and a part thereof is in the plate surface direction of the plurality of humidifiers. It is provided with a bent portion formed by being bent into a humidifier, and is arranged in parallel in the plate surface direction of the plurality of humidifiers.
　本発明に係る加湿装置は、上記の加湿体ユニットと、前記加湿体ユニットの前記加湿体に空気を送る送風機と、を備えるものである。 The humidifying device according to the present invention includes the above-mentioned humidifier unit and a blower that sends air to the humidifier of the humidifier unit.
　本発明によれば、加湿体を折り曲げて形成した折り曲げ部を拡散材に挿入して固定することができ、折り曲げ部を重ねることで加湿体間隔を保持することができる。これにより加湿体は、強度が低いものであっても、拡散材への固定及び加湿体間隔を保持が可能となる。 According to the present invention, a bent portion formed by bending a humidifier can be inserted into a diffuser and fixed, and the humidifier interval can be maintained by overlapping the bent portions. As a result, even if the humidifier has low strength, it can be fixed to the diffusing material and the humidifier interval can be maintained.

The form of the drawing is an example. In addition, those having the same reference numerals in the respective figures are the same or equivalent thereof, which are common to the entire text of the specification. Further, in the drawings below, the relationship between the sizes of the constituent members may differ from the actual one.
　実施の形態１．
　図１は、実施の形態１に係る加湿装置１００の構造を説明する模式図である。加湿装置１００は、加湿体ユニット１０と、加湿体ユニット１０に空気を送る送風機１２と、送風機１２と加湿体ユニット１０との間に配置される熱交換器１３を備える。図１に示された、加湿体ユニット１０、送風機１２、及び熱交換器１３の配置は、模式的に示されており、位置関係を限定するものではない。実際には、加湿体ユニット１０、送風機１２、及び熱交換器１３は、加湿装置１００の外郭を構成する筐体の内部に配置されるものである。 Embodiment 1.
FIG. 1 is a schematic view illustrating the structure of the humidifying device 100 according to the first embodiment. The humidifier 100 includes a humidifier unit 10, a blower 12 that sends air to the humidifier unit 10, and a heat exchanger 13 that is arranged between the blower 12 and the humidifier unit 10. The arrangement of the humidifier unit 10, the blower 12, and the heat exchanger 13 shown in FIG. 1 is schematically shown, and the positional relationship is not limited. Actually, the humidifier unit 10, the blower 12, and the heat exchanger 13 are arranged inside the housing that constitutes the outer shell of the humidifier 100.
　加湿体ユニット１０は、加湿体ユニット筐体３０を備え、加湿体ユニット筐体３０が複数の加湿体１を保持している。加湿体ユニット１０は、上部に加湿空間へ加湿するための加湿水を複数の加湿体１に供給する給水部４を備える。加湿体ユニット１０の下方には、ドレンパン７が配置されている。ドレンパン７は、加湿体ユニット１０からの余剰水を受け止めるように配置されている。ドレンパン７は、受け止めた余剰水を排出する排水部７０を備える。ドレンパン７から排出された余剰水は、加湿に使用されるか、又は加湿装置１００の外部に排出される。 The humidifier unit 10 includes a humidifier unit housing 30, and the humidifier unit housing 30 holds a plurality of humidifiers 1. The humidifying body unit 10 includes a water supply unit 4 at the upper part, which supplies humidifying water for humidifying the humidifying space to the plurality of humidifying bodies 1. A drain pan 7 is arranged below the humidifier unit 10. The drain pan 7 is arranged so as to receive excess water from the humidifier unit 10. The drain pan 7 includes a drainage unit 70 for discharging the received excess water. The excess water discharged from the drain pan 7 is used for humidification or is discharged to the outside of the humidifying device 100.
　送風機１２は、加湿体ユニット１０の外部から空気を取り込み、加湿体ユニット１０にその空気を送るものである。送風機１２と加湿体ユニット１０の間の風路には熱交換器１３が配置される。図１に示された白抜き矢印は、空気の流れを示している。送風機１２により生じた空気の流れは、熱交換器１３を通り、加湿体ユニット１０の複数の加湿体１の間を通過し、加湿装置１００の外部へと吹き出される。加湿装置１００は、外部から取り込んだ空気を複数の加湿体１の間を通過させることにより、空気と加湿体１に含まれた水とが接触し、空気を加湿するものである。 The blower 12 takes in air from the outside of the humidifier unit 10 and sends the air to the humidifier unit 10.

Humidifying water is introduced from the outside of the humidifying body unit 10 into the water supply unit 4 and supplied to the inside of the upper part 34 of the humidifying body unit housing. The water storage unit 5 is a space for storing the humidified water sent from the water supply unit 4 formed inside the humidifier unit housing upper portion 34. The water supply unit 4 is provided on the front surface 30a of the humidifier unit housing 30, and communicates with the internal water storage unit 5.
　貯水部５の下方には、板状の拡散材６が配置されている。拡散材６は、板面を上下方向に向け、板の長手方向を左右方向、板の幅方向を前後方向に向けて配置されている。拡散材６は、給水部４から給水され、貯水部５に貯留されていた水を板面で受け、板厚方向及び板厚方向に直交する方向である板面方向に加湿水を拡散する。なお、拡散材６の板厚方向とは、図２及び図３のｚ方向逆向き方向であり、拡散材６の板面方向は、図２及び図３のｘ方向、ｘ方向逆向き方向、ｙ方向、及びｙ方向逆向き方向である。拡散材６は、貯水部５からの加湿水を吸収し、毛管力により拡散材６の内部に加湿水を拡散する。加湿水は、拡散材６内に拡散することにより、拡散材６の下方に位置し拡散材６の長手方向に並べられた複数の加湿体１のそれぞれに供給される。 A plate-shaped diffuser 6 is arranged below the water storage unit 5. The diffuser 6 is arranged so that the plate surface faces up and down, the longitudinal direction of the plate faces the left-right direction, and the width direction of the plate faces the front-back direction. The diffusing material 6 is supplied with water from the water supply unit 4, receives the water stored in the water storage unit 5 on the plate surface, and diffuses the humidified water in the plate surface direction, which is a direction orthogonal to the plate thickness direction and the plate thickness direction. The plate thickness direction of the diffuser 6 is the direction opposite to the z direction of FIGS. 2 and 3, and the plate surface direction of the diffuser 6 is the x direction and the opposite direction of the x direction of FIGS. 2 and 3.

Each of the plurality of humidifiers 1 has a plate shape, and includes an upper end bent portion 1a formed by being partially bent in the plate surface direction. The upper end bent portion 1a includes a tip portion 1p which is a portion on the bent tip 1g side.

The longitudinal dimension L of the humidifier 1 is larger than the vertical dimension h of the openings 15 and 16 of the humidifier unit housing 30. That is, the upper end bent portion 1a and the lower end portion 1c of the humidifying body 1 are sandwiched by the humidifying body unit housing 30 from the front-rear direction. Therefore, the humidifier 1 is held in the humidifier unit housing 30 so as not to fall out of the openings 15 and 16.
　加湿体１の下端部１ｃは、下方から加湿体ユニット筐体３０により支持されている。加湿体ユニット筐体３０は、底面３０ｃに開口１７が設けられており、貯水部５、拡散材６、及び加湿体１を経て加湿体１の下端部１ｃに到った水は、開口１７から排出される。 The lower end 1c of the humidifier 1 is supported by the humidifier unit housing 30 from below.

The humidifying body assembly 20 is formed by fitting recesses 1b formed in the upper end bent portions 1a of a plurality of humidifying bodies 1 under the plate-shaped diffuser 6. In other words, the plate-shaped diffuser 6 is arranged between the two convex portions 1d formed on the upper end bent portions 1a of the plurality of humidifiers 1. The plurality of humidifiers 1 are arranged in parallel so that the plate surfaces 1f are parallel to each other. The humidifier assembly 20 is arranged so that the diffusing material 6 is located below the water storage portion 5 of the humidifier unit housing 30.
　図５は、実施の形態１に係る加湿体１の斜視図である。実施の形態１において、複数の加湿体１のそれぞれの上端折り曲げ部１ａは、板状の加湿体素材１１の上端部１ｅを折り線部８１で板面方向に折り曲げて形成されている。板面方向とは、加湿体１の板面１ｆに交わる方向である。上端折り曲げ部１ａは、加湿体１の板面１ｆが折り曲げられて板面方向に重なっている範囲を指す。図４に示される様に、実施の形態１においては、複数の加湿体１のそれぞれの上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端１ｇは、同じ方向に向けられている。上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端１ｇ側の部分は、複数の加湿体１のうち隣合う加湿体１に当接している。なお、上端折り曲げ部１ａは、単に折り曲げ部と称される場合がある。 FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the humidifier 1 according to the first embodiment. In the first embodiment, the upper end bent portion 1a of each of the plurality of humidifiers 1 is formed by bending the upper end portion 1e of the plate-shaped humidifier material 11 at the folding line portion 81 in the plate surface direction. The plate surface direction is a direction that intersects the plate surface 1f of the humidifying body 1. The upper end bent portion 1a refers to a range in which the plate surface 1f of the humidifying body 1 is bent and overlaps in the plate surface direction. As shown in FIG. 4, in the first embodiment, the tip 1g of each upper end bent portion 1a of the plurality of humidifiers 1 is directed in the same direction. The portion of the upper end bent portion 1a on the tip 1g side is in contact with the adjacent humidifying bodies 1 among the plurality of humidifying bodies 1. The upper end bent portion 1a may be simply referred to as a bent portion.
　図６は、実施の形態１に係る加湿装置１００の加湿体素材１１の平面図である。加湿体素材１１は、図５に示される加湿体１を形成する前の状態である。図６に示されるように、加湿体素材１１は、薄い板状であり、一定の厚みを持つ平板状が好ましく、実用的には０．３～２［ｍｍ］程度の厚みが適当である。 FIG. 6 is a plan view of the humidifier material 11 of the humidifier 100 according to the first embodiment. The humidifier material 11 is in a state before forming the humidifier 1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 6, the humidifier material 11 is preferably in the form of a thin plate and in the form of a flat plate having a certain thickness, and practically, a thickness of about 0.3 to 2 [mm] is suitable.
　加湿体素材１１は、上端部１ｅに孔９が形成されている。実施の形態１において、孔９は、矩形となっている。また、矩形の孔９の隅部から切り込み９ｅが孔９を中心として放射状に形成されている。加湿体素材１１は、図６において折り線部８１で示されている部分で板面方向に折り曲げられて加湿体１が形成される。折り線部８１で加湿体素材１１が折り曲げられると、孔９は、図５で示されるように凹部１ｂを形成する。つまり、加湿体素材１１が折り曲げられ、孔９の上側の縁９ｄが下側に移動し、孔９の縁９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃ、及び９ｄにより凹部１ｂが形成される。図６に示される加湿体素材１１の場合、凹部１ｂは、上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端１ｇ側にも形成される。折り線部８１より上側の部分で形成される凹部１ｂは、孔９の縁９ａ、９ｄ、及び９ｃの３つの縁から形成される。折り線部８１より下側の部分で形成される凹部１ｂは、孔９の縁９ａ、９ｂ、及び９ｃの３つの縁から形成される。折り線部８１の位置により、加湿体１において縁９ｂと縁９ｄとのどちらが上側に位置するかが決まる。折り線部８１が孔９の上下方向の中央よりも下に位置していれば、縁９ｂが縁９ｄよりも上に位置する。 The humidifier material 11 has a hole 9 formed in the upper end portion 1e. In the first embodiment, the hole 9 is rectangular. Further, notches 9e are formed radially from the corners of the rectangular holes 9 around the holes 9. The humidifier material 11 is bent in the plate surface direction at the portion shown by the fold line portion 81 in FIG. 6 to form the humidifier 1. When the humidifier material 11 is bent at the folded line portion 81, the hole 9 forms the recess 1b as shown in FIG. That is, the humidifying body material 11 is bent, the upper edge 9d of the hole 9 moves downward, and the recesses 1b are formed by the edges 9a, 9b, 9c, and 9d of the hole 9. In the case of the humidifier material 11 shown in FIG. 6, the recess 1b is also formed on the tip 1g side of the upper end bent portion 1a. The recess 1b formed in the portion above the folded line portion 81 is formed from the three edges 9a, 9d, and 9c of the hole 9. The recess 1b formed in the portion below the folded line portion 81 is formed from the three edges 9a, 9b, and 9c of the hole 9. The position of the folded line portion 81 determines which of the edge 9b and the edge 9d is located on the upper side of the humidifying body 1. If the folded line portion 81 is located below the center of the hole 9 in the vertical direction, the edge 9b is located above the edge 9d.
　図５及び図６に示されている折り線部８１は、加湿体素材１１の板面１ｆに例えばインク等で分かりやすく印を付けただけでも良いし、板面１ｆにミシン目を入れる又はハーフカットを設けることにより折り曲げやすくしても良い。 The fold line portion 81 shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 may be simply marked on the plate surface 1f of the humidifying body material 11 with, for example, ink or the like in an easy-to-understand manner, or perforated or half the plate surface 1f. It may be easy to bend by providing a cut.
　図７は、実施の形態１に係る加湿体１の上端折り曲げ部１ａの拡大平面図である。図８は、図７の加湿体１の断面図である。図７は、加湿体１を上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端１ｇが位置する側から見た平面図である。図８は、図７のＡ－Ａ断面である。図７に示されるように、上端折り曲げ部１ａの範囲は、折り曲げられて板面１ｆが重なり合っている部分を指す。加湿体１は、加湿体素材１１を複数回折り曲げて形成される場合もあるが、上端折り曲げ部１ａの範囲は同様である。 FIG. 7 is an enlarged plan view of the upper end bent portion 1a of the humidifying body 1 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the humidifier 1 of FIG. FIG. 7 is a plan view of the humidifying body 1 as viewed from the side where the tip 1g of the upper end bent portion 1a is located. FIG. 8 is a cross section taken along the line AA of FIG. As shown in FIG. 7, the range of the upper end bent portion 1a refers to a portion that is bent and the plate surfaces 1f overlap. The humidifying body 1 may be formed by bending the humidifying body material 11 a plurality of times, but the range of the upper end bent portion 1a is the same.
　上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端１ｇ側の部分である先端部１ｐは、加湿体１の折り線部８１より下側の部分である基部１ｒと上端１ｈにおいて接続されており、上端１ｈから斜め下方に延びる。先端部１ｐと基部１ｒとのなす角度は、折り線部８１に形成されたミシン目などの形状及び加湿体１を構成する材料の物性に依存して変わる。 The tip portion 1p, which is a portion of the upper end bent portion 1a on the tip 1g side, is connected to the base portion 1r, which is a portion below the folding line portion 81 of the humidifying body 1, at the upper end 1h, and extends diagonally downward from the upper end 1h. .. The angle formed by the tip portion 1p and the base portion 1r varies depending on the shape of the perforations formed in the folded line portion 81 and the physical properties of the material constituting the humidifier 1.
　図９は、実施の形態１に係る加湿体１の凹部１ｂと拡散材６との大きさの関係を示す図である。図１０は、実施の形態１に係る加湿体１の凹部１ｂに拡散材６を嵌め込んだ状態の拡大斜視図である。加湿体素材１１の孔９が形成されている上端部１ｅが折り曲げられて形成される加湿体１の凹部１ｂに拡散材６が挿入される。拡散材６は、板の幅方向、つまりｘ方向の寸法が凹部１ｂよりも大きく形成されている。孔９の隅部には放射状に切り込み９ｅが形成されている。そのため、図１０に示される様に、凹部１ｂに拡散材６が挿入された際に、凹部１ｂの縁９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃ、９ｄは拡散材６が凹部１ｂに挿入された方向に従って曲がる。これにより、加湿体１と拡散材６との接触性が向上し、拡散材６から加湿体１への給水が安定して行われる。 FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the size relationship between the recess 1b of the humidifier 1 and the diffusing material 6 according to the first embodiment. FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view of a state in which the diffusing material 6 is fitted in the recess 1b of the humidifying body 1 according to the first embodiment. The diffusing material 6 is inserted into the recess 1b of the humidifying body 1 formed by bending the upper end portion 1e in which the hole 9 of the humidifying body material 11 is formed. The diffuser 6 is formed so that the width direction of the plate, that is, the dimension in the x direction is larger than that of the recess 1b. Notches 9e are formed radially at the corners of the holes 9. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, when the diffuser 6 is inserted into the recess 1b, the edges 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d of the recess 1b bend according to the direction in which the diffuser 6 is inserted into the recess 1b. As a result, the contact property between the humidifying body 1 and the diffusing material 6 is improved, and water is stably supplied from the diffusing material 6 to the humidifying body 1.
　図９に示される様に、上端折り曲げ部１ａに形成された凹部１ｂの幅は、拡散材６の幅以下に形成されている。このため、加湿体１の凹部１ｂに拡散材６に挿入する際には、図１０に示される様に折り返し部１１０ができる。加湿体１の折り返し部１１０は、拡散材６を挟持するように固定する。また、加湿体１を折り曲げることにより上端折り曲げ部１ａの強度が上がり、加湿体１が軟らかい材質又は薄い場合でも、加湿体１の拡散材６への固定強度が向上する。これに伴い複数の加湿体１の間隔保持も可能となる。また、加湿体１を拡散材６に挿入する際に、加湿体１と拡散材６とが接触した後も力を加え、下方向に拡散材６を押し入れるようにすれば、凹部１ｂの下側に折り返し部１１１が形成される。これにより、加湿体１と拡散材６とは接触領域が増加し、拡散材６から加湿体１への給水が安定すると共に、拡散材６と加湿体１との固定強度も向上する。折り返し部１１０及び１１１は、加湿体素材１１の孔９の隅部に切り込み９ｅを設けることにより、加湿体１に形成され易くなっている。 As shown in FIG. 9, the width of the recess 1b formed in the upper end bent portion 1a is formed to be equal to or less than the width of the diffuser 6. Therefore, when the diffusing material 6 is inserted into the recess 1b of the humidifying body 1, a folded-back portion 110 is formed as shown in FIG. The folded-back portion 110 of the humidifying body 1 is fixed so as to sandwich the diffusing material 6. Further, by bending the humidifying body 1, the strength of the upper end bent portion 1a is increased, and even when the humidifying body 1 is made of a soft material or thin, the fixing strength of the humidifying body 1 to the diffusing material 6 is improved. Along with this, it is possible to maintain the distance between the plurality of humidifiers 1. Further, when the humidifying body 1 is inserted into the diffusing material 6, if a force is applied even after the humidifying body 1 and the diffusing material 6 come into contact with each other and the diffusing material 6 is pushed downward, the lower part of the recess 1b A folded-back portion 111 is formed on the side. As a result, the contact area between the humidifier 1 and the diffusing material 6 is increased, the water supply from the diffusing material 6 to the humidifying body 1 is stabilized, and the fixing strength between the diffusing material 6 and the humidifying body 1 is also improved. The folded-back portions 110 and 111 are easily formed in the humidifier 1 by providing cuts 9e in the corners of the holes 9 of the humidifier material 11.
　図２及び図４に示される様に、複数の加湿体１は、上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端部１ｐが隣合う加湿体１に当接する。このため、複数の加湿体１の基部１ｒの板面１ｆ同士の間隔は、少なくとも上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端１ｇ側の先端部１ｐの厚さ以上の間隔が保たれる。実際には、上端折り曲げ部１ａの凹部１ｂに嵌め込まれた拡散材６により板面１ｆの垂直方向に延びる折り返し部１１０及び１１１が形成されるため、複数の加湿体１の間隔は、先端部１ｐの厚さ以上となる。これにより、複数の加湿体１の間に確実に空気が通過する様に構成されるため、加湿体ユニット１０及び加湿装置１００は、単位時間当たりの加湿量を増加させることができ、加湿能力が向上する。 As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the plurality of humidifiers 1 have the tip 1p of the upper end bent portion 1a in contact with the adjacent humidifiers 1. Therefore, the distance between the plate surfaces 1f of the base portions 1r of the plurality of humidifiers 1 is maintained at least the thickness of the tip portion 1p on the tip end 1g side of the upper end bent portion 1a. In reality, the diffuser 6 fitted in the recess 1b of the upper end bent portion 1a forms the folded portions 110 and 111 extending in the vertical direction of the plate surface 1f, so that the distance between the plurality of humidifiers 1 is the tip portion 1p. It becomes more than the thickness of. As a result, since the air is configured to surely pass between the plurality of humidifiers 1, the humidifier unit 10 and the humidifier 100 can increase the amount of humidification per unit time, and the humidification capacity is increased. improves.
　なお、複数の加湿体１は、材料組成が同一の加湿体１、又は材料組成の異なる種類の加湿体１を重ね合わせて折り曲げても良い。これにより、上端折り曲げ部１ａの強度が向上し、拡散材６と組み合わせた際も、固定強度が向上する。実施の形態１の加湿体１及び加湿装置１００は、加湿体１を折り曲げることで拡散材６への固定及び複数の加湿体１の間隔保持が可能となる。よって、加湿体ユニット１０を空気が通過する際に、加湿体１が拡散材６から外れるのを抑制できる。また、複数の加湿体１が軟らかい材質あるいは薄い場合において、従来は複数の加湿体１の間隔を保持する際に突起を設置していたため、突起加工する際に加湿体１が破けてしまうという課題があった。しかし、実施の形態１の加湿体１によれば、その課題を解決することができる。 The plurality of humidifiers 1 may be bent by superimposing a humidifier 1 having the same material composition or a humidifier 1 having a different material composition. As a result, the strength of the upper end bent portion 1a is improved, and the fixing strength is also improved when combined with the diffusing material 6. The humidifier 1 and the humidifier 100 of the first embodiment can be fixed to the diffuser 6 and the intervals between the plurality of humidifiers 1 can be maintained by bending the humidifier 1. Therefore, when air passes through the humidifier unit 10, it is possible to prevent the humidifier 1 from coming off the diffuser 6. Further, when the plurality of humidifiers 1 are made of a soft material or thin, the humidifier 1 is conventionally provided when the distance between the plurality of humidifiers 1 is maintained, so that the humidifier 1 is torn when the protrusions are processed. was there. However, according to the humidifier 1 of the first embodiment, the problem can be solved.
　また、複数の加湿体１を一定容積の中に数多く積層することができれば加湿装置の単位時間当たりの加湿量を増加することができる。実施の形態１に係る加湿体１によれば、加湿体ユニット１０の複数の加湿体１は、より軟らかい材質又はより薄い材質を用いることができる。これにより、加湿体ユニット１０は、より多数の複数の加湿体１を有することができるため、加湿装置１００の加湿量増加に有効に寄与する。 Further, if a large number of a plurality of humidifiers 1 can be laminated in a certain volume, the amount of humidification per unit time of the humidifier can be increased. According to the humidifier 1 according to the first embodiment, a softer material or a thinner material can be used for the plurality of humidifiers 1 of the humidifier unit 10. As a result, the humidifier unit 10 can have a larger number of a plurality of humidifiers 1, and thus effectively contributes to an increase in the amount of humidification of the humidifier 100.
　加湿体１は、織布、不織布、連続気孔を有する樹脂成形体が好ましい。ただし、加湿体１は、複数の空隙を備えた三次元網目構造を有するものであれば、織布、不織布、連続気孔を有する樹脂成形体や、多孔質のセラミック体、及び多孔質の金属体等の材質を採用しても良い。加湿体１に上記に挙げた何れの材料を用いる場合でも、表面に親水性の加工を施すことにより加湿体１は全体に水が広がり易くなる。その結果、加湿体ユニット１０及び加湿装置１００は、加湿性能が向上し、加湿水中のカルシウム分やマグネシウム分が加湿体１に析出する現象であるスケール析出を抑制することができる。 The humidifying body 1 is preferably a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, or a resin molded body having continuous pores. However, if the humidifying body 1 has a three-dimensional network structure having a plurality of voids, it is a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, a resin molded body having continuous pores, a porous ceramic body, and a porous metal body. Etc. may be adopted. Regardless of which of the materials listed above is used for the humidifier 1, water can easily spread throughout the humidifier 1 by subjecting the surface to a hydrophilic treatment. As a result, the humidifying body unit 10 and the humidifying device 100 can improve the humidifying performance and suppress scale precipitation, which is a phenomenon in which calcium and magnesium in the humidifying water are deposited on the humidifying body 1.
　送風機１２から送られる空気が加湿体１の間を通過することにより、加湿体１には、析出した微細なスケールが析出する。加湿体１にスケールが析出すると、剥離して加湿する環境内に排出される。スケールが析出することで、加湿体１の三次元網目構造が目詰まりしてしまい加湿性能が低下する場合がある。加湿体１は、親水性の加工を施されることにより、スケールの析出が抑制される。加湿体１の親水化処理の方法の種類は限定されることはなく、例えば、親水化樹脂でコーティングすることによる親水化処理、又はコロナ放電や大気圧プラズマによる親水化処理を実施しても良い。 As the air sent from the blower 12 passes between the humidifiers 1, the deposited fine scale is deposited on the humidifier 1. When scale is deposited on the humidifying body 1, it is peeled off and discharged into a humidifying environment. When the scale is deposited, the three-dimensional network structure of the humidifying body 1 may be clogged and the humidifying performance may be deteriorated. By subjecting the humidifier 1 to a hydrophilic treatment, the precipitation of scale is suppressed. The type of the method for the hydrophilization treatment of the humidifier 1 is not limited, and for example, the hydrophilization treatment by coating with a hydrophilization resin, or the hydrophilization treatment by corona discharge or atmospheric pressure plasma may be performed. ..
　加湿体１のその他のスケール析出の抑制手段としては、加湿体１への通風方向を切替えてスケール析出を抑制する方法がある。その他、スケール析出抑制手段は、加湿体１を回転させてスケール析出を均一化する方法、及び加湿体１を回転させて加湿体１の表面に析出したスケール分を剥離させて廃棄あるいは排水と共に排出する方法がある。 As another means for suppressing scale precipitation of the humidifier 1, there is a method of suppressing the scale precipitation by switching the ventilation direction to the humidifier 1. In addition, the scale precipitation suppressing means is a method of rotating the humidifier 1 to make the scale precipitation uniform, and a method of rotating the humidifier 1 to peel off the scale deposited on the surface of the humidifier 1 and dispose of it or discharge it together with wastewater. There is a way to do it.
　織布、不織布、連続気孔を有する樹脂成形体からなる加湿体１を上記のように折り曲げる場合は、その中に含まれるバインダ又は主成分である樹脂成分の融点以上に加熱してから曲げる。すると、曲げた後に使用環境まで冷却することにより、上端折り曲げ部１ａの形状が維持し易くなる。 When the humidifying body 1 made of a woven fabric, a non-woven fabric, and a resin molded body having continuous pores is bent as described above, it is bent after being heated to a temperature equal to or higher than the melting point of the binder or the resin component which is the main component contained therein. Then, the shape of the upper end bent portion 1a can be easily maintained by cooling to the usage environment after bending.
　並列された複数の加湿体１は、図２に示される様に加湿体ユニット筐体３０の前側筐体３１及び背面側筐体３２に保持して組み立てられる。排水部７０は前側筐体３１及び背面側筐体３２の下部に切り欠き３３を設けることで構成される。又は、加湿装置１００は、図示しないチューブ及びポンプ等を備えた排水機構を加湿体ユニット筐体３０に設けることによって排水部７０を構成しても良い。 As shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of humidifiers 1 arranged in parallel are held and assembled in the front housing 31 and the back housing 32 of the humidifier unit housing 30. The drainage portion 70 is configured by providing a notch 33 at the lower part of the front side housing 31 and the back side housing 32. Alternatively, the humidifying device 100 may configure the drainage unit 70 by providing a drainage mechanism including a tube, a pump, or the like (not shown) in the humidifier unit housing 30.
　次に、図１及び図３を参照しながら、実施の形態１に係る加湿装置１００の動作について説明し、実施の形態１に係る加湿体ユニット１０及び加湿装置１００の効果について説明する。実施の形態１に係る加湿装置１００は、加湿運転と乾燥運転を選択的に行うことができる。加湿運転において、給水部４から供給された水は、貯水部５に貯留され、貯水部５から加湿水は拡散材６に滴下される。加湿水は、拡散材６が有する傾斜と毛細管力と加湿水の重力とを利用して拡散材６の内部で板厚方向と板厚方向に対し直交する方向である板面方向とに拡散される。ここで、拡散材６の板面方向は、図３のｘ方向及びｙ方向に相当し、拡散材６の板厚方向は図３のｚ方向逆向き方向に相当する。拡散された加湿水は、拡散材６の下面から重力の作用により、拡散材６に固定されている複数の加湿体１との接触部分から加湿体１内部へと供給される。加湿体１に供給された加湿水は、毛細管力により加湿体１の板面１ｆに沿った方向に拡散する。この状態で図１に示す送風機１２が動作すると、図３に示される矢印Ｃ及び矢印Ｄのように空気は複数の加湿体１の上流側から下流側の方向へ流れ、複数の加湿体１の間を空気は通過することになる。この通過時に空気と加湿水とが接触し、気液接触により水が蒸散し、空気が加湿される。加湿された空気は、加湿体ユニット１０の下流側へ流れる。なお、送風機１２の位置は、図１に示される様に上流側に設置して空気を押し出す構造であっても、下流側に設置し空気を吸い込む構造であってもよい。 Next, the operation of the humidifying device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 3, and the effects of the humidifying body unit 10 and the humidifying device 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. The humidifying device 100 according to the first embodiment can selectively perform a humidifying operation and a drying operation. In the humidifying operation, the water supplied from the water supply unit 4 is stored in the water storage unit 5, and the humidified water is dropped from the water storage unit 5 onto the diffusing material 6. The humidified water is diffused inside the diffusing material 6 in the plate thickness direction and the plate surface direction which is orthogonal to the plate thickness direction by utilizing the inclination, the capillary force, and the gravity of the humidifying water of the diffusing material 6. To. Here, the plate surface direction of the diffuser 6 corresponds to the x direction and the y direction of FIG. 3, and the plate thickness direction of the diffuser 6 corresponds to the z direction opposite direction of FIG. The diffused humidifying water is supplied from the lower surface of the diffusing material 6 to the inside of the humidifying body 1 from a contact portion with a plurality of humidifying bodies 1 fixed to the diffusing material 6 by the action of gravity. The humidifying water supplied to the humidifying body 1 diffuses in the direction along the plate surface 1f of the humidifying body 1 by the capillary force. When the blower 12 shown in FIG. 1 operates in this state, air flows from the upstream side to the downstream side of the plurality of humidifiers 1 as shown by arrows C and D shown in FIG. 3, and the plurality of humidifiers 1 Air will pass between them. At the time of this passage, the air and the humidified water come into contact with each other, and the water evaporates due to the gas-liquid contact, and the air is humidified. The humidified air flows to the downstream side of the humidifier unit 10. The position of the blower 12 may be a structure installed on the upstream side to push out air as shown in FIG. 1, or a structure installed on the downstream side to suck in air.
　加湿装置１００は、所定時間の加湿運転を行った後に、給水部４からの加湿水の供給が停止される。送風機１２はそのまま一定時間の間、運転を継続させ、送風機１２からの風を加湿体１に送風し、複数の加湿体１を乾燥させる乾燥運転を行う。この乾燥運転によって加湿体１が乾燥し、加湿体１における細菌及びカビ等の微生物の生長を抑制する。細菌やカビ等の微生物が生長すると加湿体１が不衛生となり、加湿運転を行ったときに、微生物及びカビの胞子等が加湿された空気中に混入される場合があり好ましくない。 The humidifying device 100 stops supplying humidified water from the water supply unit 4 after performing the humidifying operation for a predetermined time. The blower 12 continues to operate for a certain period of time, blows the air from the blower 12 to the humidifier 1, and performs a drying operation to dry the plurality of humidifiers 1. The humidifying body 1 is dried by this drying operation, and the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and molds on the humidifying body 1 is suppressed. When microorganisms such as bacteria and mold grow, the humidifying body 1 becomes unsanitary, and when the humidifying operation is performed, the microorganisms and mold spores may be mixed in the humidified air, which is not preferable.
　加湿装置１００は、乾燥運転においては、送風機１２からの空気をそのまま加湿体ユニット１０へ送風してもよいし、図１に示される直膨コイル等の熱交換器１３により加熱して温風を送風してもよい。なお、熱交換器１３は、ヒーター等の加熱装置であっても良い。熱交換器１３を用いることにより加湿体ユニット１０に温風を送風できるため、加湿体ユニット１０の乾燥時間を短縮することができる。ただし、空気の加熱にエネルギーが必要であるため、加湿装置１００が目標とする仕様によって適宜選択することができる。 In the drying operation, the humidifier 100 may blow the air from the blower 12 as it is to the humidifier unit 10, or heat the air from the heat exchanger 13 such as the direct expansion coil shown in FIG. 1 to generate warm air. You may blow air. The heat exchanger 13 may be a heating device such as a heater. Since warm air can be blown to the humidifier unit 10 by using the heat exchanger 13, the drying time of the humidifier unit 10 can be shortened. However, since energy is required to heat the air, it can be appropriately selected according to the specifications targeted by the humidifier 100.
　直膨コイル等の熱交換器１３は、乾燥運転のみならず、加湿運転時も使用することができる。空気を加熱して温風を複数の加湿体１に送風することにより、加湿体１での水の蒸散量を増加させ、単位時間当たりの加湿量を増加することができる。加湿運転も乾燥運転と同様に、空気の加熱にエネルギーが必要であるため、加湿装置１００の目標とする仕様によってどちらかを適宜選択することができる。 The heat exchanger 13 such as the direct expansion coil can be used not only in the drying operation but also in the humidifying operation. By heating the air and blowing warm air to the plurality of humidifiers 1, the amount of water evaporated by the humidifiers 1 can be increased, and the amount of humidification per unit time can be increased. Similar to the drying operation, the humidifying operation requires energy to heat the air, so that either one can be appropriately selected according to the target specifications of the humidifying device 100.
　実施の形態１によれば、軟らかい材質又は薄い加湿体１を加湿体ユニット１０に設置でき、複数の加湿体１を一定容積の中に数多く設置することが可能である。従って、実施の形態１に係る加湿体ユニット１０及び加湿装置１００は、単位時間当たりの加湿量を増加することができる。単位時間当たりの加湿量を増加することができれば、加湿装置１００は、空気を加熱するために熱交換器１３を作動させる頻度が減少し、空気の加熱に必要なエネルギーを低減することができ、省エネ性が向上する。 According to the first embodiment, a soft material or a thin humidifier 1 can be installed in the humidifier unit 10, and a large number of a plurality of humidifiers 1 can be installed in a constant volume. Therefore, the humidifier unit 10 and the humidifier 100 according to the first embodiment can increase the amount of humidification per unit time. If the amount of humidification per unit time can be increased, the humidifying device 100 can reduce the frequency of operating the heat exchanger 13 to heat the air, and can reduce the energy required for heating the air. Energy saving is improved.
　熱交換器１３により空気を加熱する場合、加湿体ユニット１０を通過後の加湿された空気の温度は、熱交換器１３を通過する前の空気温度と比べて高い。そのため、室内温度よりも高い加湿空気が室内に供給される。これに伴い、室内の温度が上昇する。この上昇した室内の温度を低減するために空気調和装置の室内機の冷房運転を行う場合がある。実施の形態１に係る加湿装置１００によれば、単位時間当たりの加湿量を増加することができるため、熱交換器１３を用いて空気の加熱する頻度を低減することができる。従って、室内に供給する加湿空気の温度を抑えることができる。これにより、室内の温度を上げることがないため、室内に設置されている空気調和装置の冷房負荷を低減でき、空気調和装置の省エネ性向上も可能となる。 When the air is heated by the heat exchanger 13, the temperature of the humidified air after passing through the humidifier unit 10 is higher than the temperature of the air before passing through the heat exchanger 13. Therefore, humidified air higher than the room temperature is supplied to the room. Along with this, the temperature inside the room rises. In order to reduce the temperature in the room that has risen, the indoor unit of the air conditioner may be cooled. According to the humidifying device 100 according to the first embodiment, the amount of humidification per unit time can be increased, so that the frequency of heating the air using the heat exchanger 13 can be reduced. Therefore, the temperature of the humidified air supplied to the room can be suppressed. As a result, since the temperature in the room is not raised, the cooling load of the air conditioner installed in the room can be reduced, and the energy saving performance of the air conditioner can be improved.
　図１１は、実施の形態１に係る加湿体素材１１の変形例である加湿体素材１１ａを用いて加湿体１を形成する場合の説明図である。加湿体１は、図１１に示される加湿体素材１１ａのように、当初は孔９が設けられておらず、折り線部８１で折り曲げてから凹部１ｂを形成しても良い。凹部１ｂを形成する部分は、打ち抜き成形等により切り離されて形成される。このように形成した場合、上端折り曲げ部１ａの先端部１ｐと基部１ｒとで形成されるそれぞれの凹部１ｂの寸法が揃いやすいという利点がある。 FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram in the case of forming the humidifying body 1 by using the humidifying body material 11a which is a modification of the humidifying body material 11 according to the first embodiment. Unlike the humidifier material 11a shown in FIG. 11, the humidifier 1 is not initially provided with the holes 9, and may be bent at the fold line portion 81 to form the recess 1b. The portion forming the recess 1b is separated and formed by punching or the like. When formed in this way, there is an advantage that the dimensions of the respective recesses 1b formed by the tip portion 1p and the base portion 1r of the upper end bent portion 1a are easily aligned.
　また、図６に示される矩形の孔９は、加湿体素材１１の上側の端である先端１ｇに設けられた切り欠きに置換しても良い。この場合、加湿体素材１１は、図６に示される孔９の縁９ｄが無く、先端１ｇ側に開放された切り欠きを備える。このような加湿体素材１１であっても、上記において説明した折り線部８１で加湿体素材１１を板面方向に折り曲げることにより、上端折り曲げ部１ａが形成されるため、同様な効果を得ることが出来る。 Further, the rectangular hole 9 shown in FIG. 6 may be replaced with a notch provided at the tip 1g, which is the upper end of the humidifying body material 11. In this case, the humidifying body material 11 does not have the edge 9d of the hole 9 shown in FIG. 6, and has a notch open to the tip 1g side. Even with such a humidifying body material 11, the upper end bent portion 1a is formed by bending the humidifying body material 11 in the plate surface direction at the folding line portion 81 described above, so that the same effect can be obtained. Can be done.
　実施の形態２．
　実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０は、実施の形態１に係る加湿体ユニット１０に対し加湿体１の形状を変更したものである。以下、実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０について実施の形態１と相違する部分を中心に説明する。実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０の各部については、各図面において同一の機能を有するものは実施の形態１の説明で使用した図面と同一の符号を付して表示する。 Embodiment 2.
The humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment is a modification of the shape of the humidifier 1 with respect to the humidifier unit 10 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment will be described focusing on the parts different from the first embodiment. Regarding each part of the humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment, those having the same function in each drawing are indicated with the same reference numerals as those used in the description of the first embodiment.
　図１２は、実施の形態２に係る加湿体素材２１１の平面図である。図１３及び図１４は、実施の形態２に係る加湿体２０１の斜視図である。図１３及び図１４は、加湿体素材２１１を折り曲げて形成された加湿体２０１の形状を模式的に表しており、図１３は、加湿体２０１の基部１ｒ側から、図１４は、加湿体２０１の上端折り曲げ部２０１ａの先端部２０１ｐ側から見た図である。図１５は、実施の形態２に係る加湿体２０１の断面図である。図１４は、加湿体２０１の板幅方向の中央部で板面１ｆに垂直な断面を示している。図１２に示されるように、加湿体素材２１１は、上端部２０１ｅに３箇所の折り線部８２、８３及び８４が設けられており、そこで板面方向に折り曲げられる。これにより、加湿体２０１は、上端折り曲げ部２０１ａが形成される。加湿体素材２１１は、まず３つの折り線部８２、８３及び８４のうち中央の折り線部８３で折り曲げられる。図１２に示される加湿体素材２１１は、折り線部８２及び８４は、中央の折り線部８３から上下に等距離離れた位置にある。従って、折り線部８３で加湿体素材２１１を折り曲げると、折り線部８３の上方にある折り線部８２が下方に移動し、折り線部８４と重なるように位置する。そして、さらに折り線部８２及び８４で加湿体素材２１１を折り曲げることにより、上端折り曲げ部２０１ａが形成される。なお、最初に折り曲げる折り線部８３を第１折り線部８３と称する場合がある。また、第１折り線部８３で折り曲げた後に折り曲げを行う折り線部８２及び８４を第２折り線部８２、及び８４と称する場合がある。 FIG. 12 is a plan view of the humidifier material 211 according to the second embodiment. 13 and 14 are perspective views of the humidifier 201 according to the second embodiment. 13 and 14 schematically show the shape of the humidifier 201 formed by bending the humidifier material 211. FIG. 13 is from the base 1r side of the humidifier 201, and FIG. 14 is the humidifier 201. It is a figure seen from the tip part 201p side of the upper end bent part 201a of. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view of the humidifier 201 according to the second embodiment. FIG. 14 shows a cross section of the humidifier 201 at the center in the plate width direction and perpendicular to the plate surface 1f. As shown in FIG. 12, the humidifying body material 211 is provided with three folding line portions 82, 83 and 84 at the upper end portion 201e, and is bent in the plate surface direction there. As a result, the humidifier 201 is formed with the upper end bent portion 201a. The humidifier material 211 is first bent at the central fold line portion 83 of the three fold line portions 82, 83 and 84. In the humidifying body material 211 shown in FIG. 12, the fold line portions 82 and 84 are located vertically equidistant from the central fold line portion 83. Therefore, when the humidifying body material 211 is bent at the fold line portion 83, the fold line portion 82 above the fold line portion 83 moves downward and is positioned so as to overlap the fold line portion 84. Then, the humidifier material 211 is further bent at the folding line portions 82 and 84 to form the upper end bent portion 201a. The fold line portion 83 to be bent first may be referred to as a first fold line portion 83. Further, the fold line portions 82 and 84 that are bent after being bent by the first fold line portion 83 may be referred to as the second fold line portions 82 and 84.
　加湿体素材２１１を上記の様に折り曲げることにより、加湿体素材２１１に形成された孔９の縁９ｂと縁９ｄとが同じ高さに位置する。また、実施の形態１と同様に孔９の隅部には放射状に切り込み９ｅが形成されている。よって、凹部１ｂに拡散材６が挿入された際に、凹部１ｂの縁９ａ、９ｂ、９ｃ、９ｄは拡散材６が凹部１ｂに挿入された方向に従って曲がる。つまり、実施の形態１に係る加湿体１と同様に、凹部１ｂの縁の折り返し部１１０及び１１１が形成される。ただし、実施の形態２に係る上端折り曲げ部２０１ａの先端部２０１ｐは、図１３及び図１４に示される様に２つ形成される。そして、加湿体素材２１１の先端１ｇは、基部１ｒに沿うように位置する。 By bending the humidifier material 211 as described above, the edges 9b and 9d of the holes 9 formed in the humidifier material 211 are located at the same height. Further, as in the first embodiment, cuts 9e are formed radially at the corners of the holes 9. Therefore, when the diffuser 6 is inserted into the recess 1b, the edges 9a, 9b, 9c, 9d of the recess 1b bend according to the direction in which the diffuser 6 is inserted into the recess 1b. That is, similarly to the humidifying body 1 according to the first embodiment, the folded-back portions 110 and 111 of the edges of the recess 1b are formed. However, two tip portions 201p of the upper end bent portion 201a according to the second embodiment are formed as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14. The tip 1g of the humidifying body material 211 is located along the base 1r.
　実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０によれば、上記の様に構成されることにより、拡散材６が挿入される凹部１ｂを有する上端折り曲げ部２０１ａは、実施の形態１に係る加湿体１の上端折り曲げ部１ａの２倍の厚みとなっている。従って、実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０は、複数の加湿体２０１の間隔が少なくとも実施の形態１の複数の加湿体１の２倍の間隔を保つことができる。また、実施の形態２では加湿体１を３箇所で折り曲げたが、加湿体素材２１１の厚み及び複数の加湿体２０１に必要な間隔に応じて折り返す回数は適宜変更できる。また、加湿体２０１は、折り線部８２、８３及び８４において、曲げる方向を適宜変更しても良い。 According to the humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment, the upper end bent portion 201a having the recess 1b into which the diffusing material 6 is inserted is the humidifier unit 1 according to the first embodiment. The thickness is twice that of the upper end bent portion 1a. Therefore, in the humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment, the interval between the plurality of humidifiers 201 can be maintained at least twice as much as the interval between the plurality of humidifiers 1 according to the first embodiment. Further, in the second embodiment, the humidifier 1 is bent at three points, but the number of times of folding back can be appropriately changed according to the thickness of the humidifier material 211 and the interval required for the plurality of humidifiers 201. Further, the humidifying body 201 may appropriately change the bending direction at the folding line portions 82, 83 and 84.
　実施の形態３．
　実施の形態３に係る加湿体ユニット３１０は、実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０に対し加湿体２０１の形状をさらに変更したものである。以下、実施の形態３に係る加湿体ユニット３１０について実施の形態２と相違する部分を中心に説明する。実施の形態３に係る加湿体ユニット３１０の各部については、各図面において同一の機能を有するものは実施の形態１及び２の説明で使用した図面と同一の符号を付して表示する。 Embodiment 3.
The humidifier unit 310 according to the third embodiment is obtained by further changing the shape of the humidifier 201 with respect to the humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment. Hereinafter, the humidifier unit 310 according to the third embodiment will be described mainly on the parts different from the second embodiment. Regarding each part of the humidifier unit 310 according to the third embodiment, those having the same function in each drawing are indicated with the same reference numerals as those used in the drawings of the first and second embodiments.
　図１６は、実施の形態３に係る加湿体素材３１１の平面図である。図１７は、実施の形態３に係る加湿体３０１の斜視図である。図１６に示される様に加湿体素材３１１は、実施の形態２に係る加湿体素材２１１と同様に上端部２０１ｅに設けられた折り線部８２、８３及び８４の３箇所で折り曲げられるだけでなく、の折り線部８５、８６及び８７の３箇所でも折り曲げられる。これにより、加湿体３０１は、上側の端部において上端折り曲げ部２０１ａが形成され、下側の端部において下端折り曲げ部３０１ｃが形成される。なお、下端折り曲げ部３０１ｃは、単に折り曲げ部と称される場合がある。 FIG. 16 is a plan view of the humidifier material 311 according to the third embodiment. FIG. 17 is a perspective view of the humidifier 301 according to the third embodiment. As shown in FIG. 16, the humidifying body material 311 is not only bent at three positions of folding lines 82, 83, and 84 provided at the upper end portion 201e, similarly to the humidifying body material 211 according to the second embodiment. , The folding line portions 85, 86 and 87 are also folded. As a result, in the humidifier 301, the upper end bent portion 201a is formed at the upper end portion, and the lower end bent portion 301c is formed at the lower end portion. The lower end bent portion 301c may be simply referred to as a bent portion.
　下端折り曲げ部３０１ｃにおいても、加湿体３０１に必要な間隔に応じて折り返す回数は適宜変更できる。また、加湿体３０１は、折り線部８５、８６及び８７において、曲げる方向を適宜変更しても良い。 Even in the lower end bent portion 301c, the number of times of folding back can be appropriately changed according to the interval required for the humidifying body 301. Further, the humidifying body 301 may appropriately change the bending direction at the folding line portions 85, 86 and 87.
　また、加湿体３０１の上端折り曲げ部２０１ａを実施の形態１に係る上端折り曲げ部１ａと同じ構成にし、下端折り曲げ部３０１ｃの折り曲げ回数を１回にしても良い。つまり、加湿体３０１は、上側の端部の折り曲げ部と下側の端部の折り曲げ部とで同じ折り曲げ回数になるように構成されると良い。ただし、折り曲げ部の剛性等を考慮し、複数の加湿体３０１の間隔を適正に確保できる様に、各折り曲げ部の曲げ回数は、異なる回数に設定されていても良い。 Further, the upper end bent portion 201a of the humidifying body 301 may have the same configuration as the upper end bent portion 1a according to the first embodiment, and the lower end bent portion 301c may be bent once. That is, the humidifying body 301 may be configured so that the bent portion of the upper end portion and the bent portion of the lower end portion have the same number of bends. However, in consideration of the rigidity of the bent portion and the like, the number of times of bending of each bent portion may be set to a different number so that the interval between the plurality of humidifiers 301 can be appropriately secured.
　以上の様に構成されることにより、複数の加湿体３０１は、実施の形態２で得られる効果に加え、上側の端部だけでなく下側の端部においても下端折り曲げ部３０１ｃにより間隔を確保出来る。これにより、複数の加湿体３０１は、上端から下端に到るまで間隔を安定的に確保出来る。そのため、加湿体ユニット３１０は、各部における通過する空気の量のばらつきが抑えられるため、効率良く加湿を行うことができる。また、加湿体ユニット３１０を通過する空気の速度が速い場合であっても、複数の加湿体３０１同士の間隔を安定して保持し易くなる。 With the above configuration, in addition to the effects obtained in the second embodiment, the plurality of humidifiers 301 secure a space not only at the upper end but also at the lower end by the lower end bent portion 301c. You can. As a result, the plurality of humidifiers 301 can stably secure the interval from the upper end to the lower end. Therefore, the humidifying body unit 310 can efficiently humidify because the variation in the amount of air passing through each part is suppressed. Further, even when the speed of the air passing through the humidifier unit 310 is high, it becomes easy to stably maintain the distance between the plurality of humidifiers 301.
　実施の形態４．
　実施の形態４に係る加湿体ユニット４１０は、実施の形態２に係る加湿体ユニット２１０に対し加湿体１の形状を変更したものである。以下、実施の形態４に係る加湿体ユニット４１０について実施の形態２と相違する部分を中心に説明する。実施の形態４に係る加湿体ユニット４１０の各部については、各図面において同一の機能を有するものは実施の形態１～３の説明で使用した図面と同一の符号を付して表示する。 Embodiment 4.
The humidifier unit 410 according to the fourth embodiment is obtained by changing the shape of the humidifier 1 with respect to the humidifier unit 210 according to the second embodiment. Hereinafter, the humidifier unit 410 according to the fourth embodiment will be described focusing on the parts different from the second embodiment. Regarding each part of the humidifier unit 410 according to the fourth embodiment, those having the same function in each drawing are indicated with the same reference numerals as those used in the drawings of the first to third embodiments.
　図１８は、実施の形態４に係る加湿体素材４１１の平面図である。図１９は、実施の形態４に係る加湿体４０１の斜視図である。図１８に示されるように、加湿体素材４１１は周縁部に加湿体間隔保持用の突出片４２０を有している。突出片４２０は折り線部８８及び８９を有している。突出片４２０は、折り線部８８で板面方向に折り曲げられ、更に折り線部８９で板面方向に折り曲げられることにより、周縁折り曲げ部４２１が形成される。周縁折り曲げ部４２１は、上端折り曲げ部２０１ａと同様に、複数の加湿体１の間隔保持に用いられる。加湿体４０１は、周縁部に間隔保持用の周縁折り曲げ部４２１が設けられており、上側の端部から下側の端部の間の任意の位置で間隔保持が可能である。そのため、複数の加湿体４０１の間を通過する空気の速度が速い場合であっても、安定して複数の加湿体４０１同士の間隔を保持できる。突出片４２０の形状及び設置箇所は、加湿体４０１の厚み、必要な加湿体１の間隔、及び加湿体４０１を空気が通るときの圧力損失等を考慮して適宜決定される。なお、周縁折り曲げ部４２１は、単に折り曲げ部と称される場合がある。 FIG. 18 is a plan view of the humidifier material 411 according to the fourth embodiment. FIG. 19 is a perspective view of the humidifier 401 according to the fourth embodiment. As shown in FIG. 18, the humidifier material 411 has a protruding piece 420 for maintaining the humidifier interval at the peripheral edge portion. The protruding piece 420 has fold lines 88 and 89. The protruding piece 420 is bent in the plate surface direction at the folding line portion 88, and further bent in the plate surface direction at the folding line portion 89 to form the peripheral edge bending portion 421. The peripheral edge bent portion 421 is used to maintain the distance between the plurality of humidifiers 1 as well as the upper end bent portion 201a. The humidifier 401 is provided with a peripheral edge bending portion 421 for maintaining the interval at the peripheral edge portion, and the interval can be maintained at an arbitrary position between the upper end portion and the lower end portion. Therefore, even when the speed of the air passing between the plurality of humidifiers 401 is high, the distance between the plurality of humidifiers 401 can be stably maintained. The shape and installation location of the projecting piece 420 are appropriately determined in consideration of the thickness of the humidifying body 401, the required spacing between the humidifying bodies 1, the pressure loss when air passes through the humidifying body 401, and the like. The peripheral edge bent portion 421 may be simply referred to as a bent portion.
　以上に加湿体ユニット１０、２１０、３１０、４１０及び加湿装置１００についての実施の形態について説明したが、加湿体ユニット１０、２１０、３１０、４１０及び加湿装置１００は、上述した実施の形態の構成のみに限定されるものではない。例えば、実施の形態１～４に係る加湿体１、２０１、３０１、４０１は、折り曲げ回数を適宜変更することが出来る。更に、加湿体ユニット１０、２１０、３１０、４１０及び加湿装置１００は、各実施の形態を組み合わせて構成されていても良い。例えば、実施の形態４の加湿体４０１に形成される周縁折り曲げ部４２１を実施の形態１に係る加湿体１に適用しても良い。要するに、いわゆる当業者が必要に応じてなす種々なる変更、応用、利用の範囲をも技術的範囲に含むことを念のため申し添える。 Although the embodiments of the humidifier units 10, 210, 310, 410 and the humidifier 100 have been described above, the humidifier units 10, 210, 310, 410 and the humidifier 100 have only the configurations of the above-described embodiments. It is not limited to. For example, the humidifiers 1, 201, 301, and 401 according to the first to fourth embodiments can be bent at an appropriate number of times. Further, the humidifying body units 10, 210, 310, 410 and the humidifying device 100 may be configured by combining the respective embodiments. For example, the peripheral edge bent portion 421 formed on the humidifier 401 of the fourth embodiment may be applied to the humidifier 1 according to the first embodiment. In short, I would like to add that the technical scope also includes the scope of various changes, applications, and uses made by those skilled in the art as necessary.
