Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a dehumidifier.
- the dehumidifier disclosed in Patent Document 1 includes a suction port and a dehumidifying means having a heat exchanger.
- An air cleaning filter is disposed in an air passage that communicates the suction port with the heat exchanger so as not to cover a portion of the heat exchanger.
- a shutter that opens and closes the portion of the air path that is not covered by the filter is provided. When the shutter is opened, a large amount of airflow is taken into the heat exchanger without passing through the filter, resulting in dehumidification operation that focuses on dehumidification.

- the sub-filter since the sub-filter is provided in the bypass air path, it is possible to prevent dust from directly flowing into the heat exchanger during dehumidification operation when the bypass air path is opened. Furthermore, by using a sub-filter that has a lower particle collection rate and lower pressure loss than the main filter, it is possible to suppress a decrease in air volume during dehumidification operation, and as a result, a decrease in dehumidification capacity can be suppressed. I can do it.

- a ULPA filter that has a particle collection rate of 99.99% or more for particles with a particle diameter of 0.15 ⁇ m and an initial pressure loss of 245 Pa or less. Since these HEPA filter 45a and ULPA filter can collect fine dust in the air, they have a larger pressure loss than the sub-filter 46 described later.

- a MEPA filter having a particle collection rate of 50% or more and 95% or less for particles having a particle size of 0.4 ⁇ m or 0.7 ⁇ m can be used. Since the sub-filter 46 has a lower particle collection rate than the main filter 45, it has a smaller pressure loss than the main filter 45.
- a lattice portion 47 is arranged behind the deodorizing filter 45b with an interval.
- the evaporator 20a of the heat exchanger 20 is arranged behind the grid section 47 with a gap therebetween.
- the airflow flowing through the main air passage 43 and the airflow flowing through the bypass air passage 44 are configured to merge in the space before and after the grid portion 47, that is, on the upstream side of the evaporator 20a. Since the grid portion 47 has the same cross-sectional area as the evaporator 20a, it is possible to uniformly send the airflow that merges on the upstream side of the evaporator 20a to the evaporator 20a.
- the bypass air passage 44 is provided with a shutter 5 that can open and close the bypass air passage 44.
- the shutter 5 includes a plate-shaped shielding wall 51 that is elongated in the vertical direction, an upper plate 52 and a lower plate 53 that are fan-shaped in a plan view and are provided at the upper and lower ends of the shielding wall 51, respectively, and an upper plate that is provided on the upper surface of the upper plate 52. It has a rotation shaft 52a and a lower rotation shaft 53a provided on the lower surface of the lower plate 53.
- the upper rotation shaft 52a and the lower rotation shaft 53a are inserted and fitted into bearings (not shown) provided on the upper and lower walls of the air passage forming frame 41, respectively.
- the shutter 5 is rotatably supported around the rotation shafts 52a and 53a.
- a stepping motor (not shown) is directly attached to the upper rotation shaft 52a.
- the shielding wall 51 is rotated to a closed position in which it shields the bypass air passage 44 and blocks the flow of air in the bypass air passage 44.
- the shielding wall 51 opens the bypass air passage 44 and rotates to an open position in which airflow through the bypass air passage 44 is allowed.
- the shutter 5 can also be rotated to an intermediate position between the closed position and the open position.
- the control means Cm selects the dehumidifying operation mode when the humidity measured by the humidity sensor Sm is, for example, 50% or more, and selects the air purifying operation mode when it is less than 50%.
- the control means Cm drives the stepping motor for the shutter 5 to rotate the shutter 5 to the closed position, thereby blocking the bypass air path 44. Subsequently, the control means Cm drives the fan motor 31 to rotate the sirocco fan 32 at a predetermined rotation speed. Then, almost all of the air sucked in from the first suction port 11 passes through the main air passage 43 and is purified by the main filter 45. Therefore, the air blown from the outlet 13 becomes clean air.
- the control means Cm drives the stepping motor to rotate the shutter 5 to the open position, thereby opening the bypass air passage 44. Subsequently, the control means Cm drives the fan motor 31 to rotate the sirocco fan 32 at a predetermined rotation speed, and also drives the compressor 21. Then, air containing moisture is sucked in from the second suction port 12. The air sucked in from the second suction port 12 passes through a sub-filter 46 arranged in the bypass air path 44. As a result, the air from which dust has been removed by the sub-filter 46 flows into the heat exchanger 20.
- the humid air is dehumidified by condensation in the evaporator 20a.
- the dehumidified air is returned to room temperature in the main condenser 20b and the sub-condenser 20c, and then is discharged from the air outlet 13 via the scroll space 35.
- the control means Cm by driving the step motor for the louver 15 by the control means Cm, it is possible to change the angle of the louver 15 in the vertical direction. As a result, air can be blown upward to generate circulating airflow within a room to dehumidify the room, or laundry can be blown with air to dry it.
- the drain water stopper 19a closes the drain port of the drain pipe 19b and prevents the drain water from being drained. Furthermore, when a drain hose is attached to the drain pipe 19b, drain water passes through the drain hose and is drained out of the case 10.
- the sub-filter 46 since the sub-filter 46 is provided in the bypass air passage 44, in the dehumidification operation mode in which the bypass air passage 44 is opened, dust contained in the airflow flowing through the bypass air passage 44 is captured by the sub-filter 46. Therefore, dust in the airflow is prevented from directly flowing into the heat exchanger 20. Moreover, by using a sub-filter 46 that has a lower particle collection rate and a smaller pressure loss than the main filter 45, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the amount of air flowing into the heat exchanger 20 in the dehumidifying operation mode, and as a result, , it is possible to suppress a decrease in dehumidification ability.
- the shielding wall 51 can be stored in the storage space 44a when the shutter 5 is rotated to the open position. Therefore, in combination with the use of the sub-filter 46 which has a smaller pressure loss than the main filter 45, the pressure loss in the bypass air passage 44 can be reduced, and the reduction in air volume can be further suppressed.
- FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view showing the dehumidifier 1 according to the second embodiment with the shutter 5 open.
- the sub-filter 46 is arranged so as to also straddle the main air passage 43. That is, one sub-filter 46 is arranged in the bypass air passage 44 on one side in the left-right direction, the main air passage 43, and the bypass air passage 44 on the other side in the left-right direction.
- the length of the air passage partition plate 42 in the front-rear direction is determined to be shorter than the length in the first embodiment by the thickness of the sub-filter 46.
- the main filter 45 is arranged downstream of the sub-filter 46.
- the sub filter 46 is arranged between the main filter 45 and the suction port cover 14.
- the present embodiment in addition to the effects obtained in the first embodiment, since only one sub-filter 46 is required, the number of parts can be reduced. Furthermore, since the sub-filter 46 disposed in the main air passage 43 also serves as a pre-filter for the main filter 45, clogging of the main filter 45 can be suppressed, and the maintenance cycle of the main filter 45 can be extended. can do.
- FIG. 6 is a cross-sectional view showing the dehumidifier 1 according to the third embodiment with the shutter 5 open.
- a combination filter 460 that integrates the HEPA filter 45a and the sub-filters 46 on both sides in the left and right direction is used. are placed.
- the front and rear lengths of the air passage partition plate 42 may be shortened by the thickness of the sub-filter 46.
- the number of parts can be reduced by integrating the HEPA filter 45a and the two sub-filters 46.
