Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、殺菌・脱臭手段を備えた空気清浄装置に関する。更に詳細には、病院等の医療施設や食品製造施設における殺菌・脱臭手段を備えた空気清浄装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、空気清浄装置において、殺菌装置及び方法に関しては、次のような様々なものが提案されて来た。
【0003】
(1)空気清浄装置の内部や、病院の病室に活性炭層、光触媒層、紫外線等の空気中の殺菌・脱臭手段を設けたものがある(例えば、特開昭63−315138号公報参照)。
【0004】
(2)空気清浄装置の内部に電気集塵機、オゾン発生器、オゾン分解触媒を設けたものがある(例えば、特開平2−48050号公報参照)。
【0005】
(3)空気清浄器の内部にオゾン発生器、陰イオン発生器を備え、殺菌・脱臭手段を設けたものがある(例えば、特開平4−260732号公報参照)。
【0006】
(4)空気清浄装置の内部に、紫外線ランプを備え、殺菌・脱臭を設けたものがある(例えば、特開平7−239140号公報参照)。
【0007】
(5)空気清浄装置の内部に、オゾン発生器、オゾン分解触媒の外に、銀ゼオライト等の抗菌剤入りのシートフイルタを備えるものがある(例えば、特開平6−323571号公報)
(6)空気清浄装置の内部又は内壁、フアン、フイルタ等の表面に、銀ゼオライト等の抗菌剤入りのシートフイルタを貼るか塗膜を形成したものがある(例えば、特開平7−55176号公報)。
【0008】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記の従来の空気清浄装置で行う殺菌処理では、殺菌が充分でなかった。その為に細菌が繁殖してしまった空気が、例えば、病室内や食品製造室に送られる可能性があった。
【0009】
前記従来技術では、単に空気清浄装置の内部や流路内に殺菌手段を設けたもので、室内などの空中浮遊菌を効果的に殺菌処理が充分に出来なかった。
【0010】
特に、従来は、空調機の中に滅菌手段を設けた為に、室内を単独に集中的に殺菌したい場合には、それが出来なかった。
【0011】
また、空気清浄機の内部でオゾンを発生させて殺菌処理をし、直ぐオゾン分解触媒でオゾンを分解してしまう構造の為に、空間的な殺菌能力の限度があって、空気清浄機の規模や能力が制限されていた。
【0012】
また、従来使用されてきた紫外線ランプでは、照射部分しか、又は照射の到達範囲内でしか殺菌出来ないために、非照射部分での殺菌が不完全で有ったので、細菌の繁殖が避けられず、滅菌効果が滅殺された。
【0013】
更に、抗菌剤シートでも、長期間使用すると、抗菌剤を含有した塗膜の表面近くでは、ほこり、油煙などが付着し、微生物との直接的接触、または直近の接近が阻止されると抗菌効果が大幅に低下する。その為に抗菌作用を著しく阻害して、上記の従来の空気清浄装置で行う殺菌処理では、殺菌が充分でなかった。その為に細菌が繁殖してしまった空気が、例えば、病室内や食品製造室に送られる可能性があった。
【0014】
本発明は、上記の問題点を改善する室内などの殺菌と脱臭の処理を十分に行える装置を得る事を目的とする。更に詳しくは、有人や無人に応じて、殺菌・脱臭を必要且つ十分に行える装置及び方法を得る事を目的とする。
【0015】
本発明は、上記課題を解決する為に、オゾン発生器、オゾン分解触媒装置である殺菌・脱臭手段、該オゾン分解触媒装置の後流側へファン装置を設け、該オゾン分解触媒装置には、該オゾン分解触媒装置への開閉を図る流路の切り換え部材を一方に設けると共に、且つオゾン分解触媒装置の後流側のファン装置へは該ファンの回転数の可変調整手段を設けて、無人時のオゾン殺菌(薫蒸)時と有人時行うオゾン脱臭時で、無人の殺菌時はオゾンの分解を防止するために、オゾン分解触媒装置への流路を閉鎖された状態で他方の開放された流路を通過するオゾンに対し、ファンの回転数を下げることで、風量・風速を下げて、オゾンの消耗を避け、且つ有人の脱臭時には、オゾン分解触媒装置を通過するオゾンガスに対しファンの回転数を上げて、風速・風量を大きくして、オゾンの分解量をより大きくして無害化された空気を室内へ供給する空気清浄装置を提供する。
【0017】
前記殺菌・脱臭手段は、紫外線ランプ並びに光触媒励起用ランプ及び光触媒備えている空気清浄装置を提供する。
【0027】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を実施例に基づき、図面を参照して説明する。図1は、本発明の1実施例である。
【0028】
図1は、本発明の1実施例を示す。空気清浄装置1は、無機系抗菌剤又は光触媒を塗料化したものを内外面に焼付塗装した抗菌鋼板をケーシングとして、ハウジングを構成しえる。図1の1は、その平面を図1の2は側面を示している。
【0029】
これら空気清浄装置の内部側の表面には、抗菌剤を塗膜などに含有させて保持することもできる。この場合、抗菌剤を塗料などの中に含有させて、焼付塗装、ローラ塗り、吹き付けなどにより施行する。
【0030】
抗菌剤として、銀、酸化亜鉛、銅などの無機質材を単独で、又は混合して用いる。抗菌剤の作用により、塗膜などの表面上または表面近くの細菌、カビなどの微生物の増殖は抑止され、減少して滅菌することができる。
【0031】
空気清浄装置1の内部には、抗菌プレフィルタ2、紫外線ランプ3、光触媒励起用ランプ4、光触媒フイルター5、オゾン発生器6、殺菌用オゾン発生器60、脱臭用オゾン発生器61、ダンパ7、オゾン分解触媒装置8、電気集塵機9又は光触媒10、ファン11、12、オゾン濃度センサー13などが設けられる。
なお、紫外線ランプ3は、抗菌プレフィルタ2の前に設けることもできる。
【0032】
オゾン発生器6は、殺菌用オゾン発生器60と脱臭用オゾン発生器61とに分ける事もできる。殺菌用は、特に殺菌を目的とする場合で、脱臭用は、オゾンの発生量を減じてその目的に使用する場合である。
【0033】
またファン11は、該空気清浄装置1の後流側に設ければ吸込式となり、オゾンガスが押し込め式の加圧型に比べて、外部に漏れる事がない。
吸込側にフアン12を設ければ押し込み式になるが、この場合には、後段で説明するようにオゾンが破壊されないような、処理をする事が出来る。
【0034】
ダンパ7は、図1に示されるように、点線の位置に移動できる。
ダンパ7の移動は、有人である室へ循環空気を送っているときに、流路を開放し、オゾン分解触媒装置8によって、オゾンを分解することが必要であるので、該オゾン分解触媒装置8を通して環流させる為に移動させるものである。
【0035】
ダンパ7の移動装置としては、様々な構造が考えられ、図2には、リンク機構のものが示される。
モータ701が回動すると、アーム702が回動し、リンク703を図右方へ動かすと、閉塞板70とリンク703は回動自在に繋がっているので、該閉塞板70を図右方に動かして、流路をオゾン分解触媒装置8に対して開く。
【0036】
この場合にシーリング装置を設けることもできる。図3には、その具体例が示されている。
リンク703を左方に動かすと、リンク703の先端が、スウィングバー704の回動根部705に衝合し、該スウィングバー704をバネ力に抗して閉塞板70方向に対して回動させて、該閉塞板70をシール部材709に押圧する。
と同時に、閉塞板70は、ストッパー708に衝接してシーリングを完成する。
【0037】
また、スウィングバー704は、ハウジング15に支持されている支持具707にピンを介して設けるのが好ましく、図ではバー706で一体にジョイント結合されている。
【0038】
送風手段であるフアン11は、インバータ制御により回転数を任意に可変させることができ、オゾン薫蒸時には、フアン11の回転数を下げ、風速・風量を小さくする。
ここで、オゾン薫蒸時とは、オゾン濃度が高いことの意味で、つまり殺菌を無人時に直接室内に行う場合である。
これは、フアン回転数が大きいと実験の結果、フアンでオゾンが分解されるので、オ回転数を下げて、その無駄となるオゾン消費量を小さくする為である。
【0039】
また、オゾン脱臭時には、フアン11の回転数を上げて、風速・風量を大きくし、オゾン分解量を大きくして無害化された空気を給気するものである。
ここで、オゾン脱臭時とは、空気清浄装置1では、殺菌は行うのであるが、該装置1でオゾンを分解して脱臭する意味で、室内に有人時行う場合である。
【0040】
又は、フアン11には、インバータ制御を有していない場合には、オゾン薫蒸時には、フアン11を停止し、空気清浄装置1の下部にあるフアン12により、少量の空気を吹き出して、オゾンが無駄に分解されてしまう量を最小限となし、高濃度のオゾン発生量生成するものである。
【0041】
オゾンを殺菌・脱臭に利用するに際して、殺菌用にはオゾン発生量が数百〜数千mg/hのオゾン発生器を使い、脱臭時には、オゾン発生量が数十mg/h程度のオゾン発生器を使うことにより、オゾンを有効的に利用することが可能であり、脱臭時の安全面を保証し、またオゾン分解触媒の寿命を長くできる。
又、一のオゾン発生器の出力調整により、オゾン発生量を調整することも可能である。
【0042】
オゾン分解触媒8の後流には、電気集塵機9又は光触媒10を設ける事もできる。電気集塵機9を使用した場合には、電気的に残存オゾン臭を物理的に分解してくれる。
また、この時にマイナスイオンが得られ、人体にとって好ましい環境の空気を給気出来る。
光触媒を使用した場合には、酸化還元作用で残存オゾン臭を分解する。
【0043】
オゾンは、例えば、アンモニアに対する反応性が低いために、該オゾン分解触媒の後流側に活性炭フイルターを置くことも考えられるが、活性炭は分子量の小さい物質を吸着できず、また、脱臭機能は、主に吸着作用の為寿命の問題がある。
【0044】
活性炭フィルターに代わって、例えば、光触媒を使用すれば、アンモニアのみならず、アセトアルデヒト、トリメチルアミン、酢酸、メチルメルカプタン、スチレン、硫化水素、窒素酸化物など広範囲にわたり、脱臭・殺菌が可能となる。脱臭機能が、主に、酸化還元作用の為に、寿命も長く、脱臭と同時に殺菌作用も備えている。
また、活性炭自身には、殺菌効果が有る為に、菌の温床となり易いが、光触媒では、そのような事がない。
【0045】
病原菌の殺菌・脱臭システムの特徴を次に詳細に述べる。
空気清浄装置1においては、殺菌・脱臭システムの構成要素としては、非処理空気に対して、空気清浄装置1の内部には、抗菌プレフィルタ2、紫外線ランプ3、光触媒励起ポンプ4、光触媒フイルター5、オゾン発生器6、ダンパ7、オゾン分解触媒装置8、電気集塵機9又は光触媒10、ファン11、12、オゾンセンサー13などが設けられる。
【0046】
又、プレフィルタ2の前に紫外線ランプ3を前段に設けてもよい。最初、波長を254nmの紫外線ランプ3を設け、これにより照射すると、非処理空気に含有されている空中浮遊菌は、ここで紫外線ランプ3の熱エネルギーが細菌のDNAを損傷させ、その結果、チミングダイマー形成により、自己増殖機能を低下させる。
【0047】
処理後、非処理空気に含有されている空中浮遊菌については、或特定の波長の紫外線と光触媒との組合せが有効である。
つまり、酸化チタン光触媒系の特徴は、その表面が水と接触したときに、反応が起こることにある。吸着性が有るために、完全にドライでなければ、空気と接触しても反応が起こる。
【0048】
酸化チタン光触媒に対しては、好ましくは、波長範囲315〜400nmの紫外線が、該光触媒の励起に好適である。波長400nm程度の紫外線ランプ3が、酸化チタンの表面に当たると、3vの強い酸化電位が生じ、水が分解されて活性酸素が発生する。これは、塩素、過酸化水素、オゾン等よりも大きな酸化電位であり、殆ど全てのものを分解・酸化できる程のものである。
【0049】
従って、紫外線ランプの一種である光触媒励起用ランプ4(ブラックライトランプとも言う)を設ければ、照射によって、その光により酸化還元電位3Vの酸化チタン光触媒(アナターゼ型)の光触媒フイルター5がより活性化され、活性酸素が生成し、細菌の芽胞やベロ毒素を破壊する。
【0050】
これに対して、前段の、光触媒のない紫外線ランプ3は、波長が100〜280nmの、通常の殺菌ランプでよいことになる。光触媒に対して、その作用を生じさせる効果は有るが、低いからである。
このように前段で通常の紫外線照射をし、紫外線の波長を変えて光触媒を照射をすれば、滅菌効果を一層強力に上げることが出来る。
【0051】
なお、2段の紫外線照射が逆の場合には、活性酸素によって芽胞の表層や内部の一部のDNAが変化してしまい、紫外線照射時に芽胞のTDHTの生成が抑制されてしまい、完全に殺菌出来ない細菌もあるため滅菌効果が減じるからである。
【0052】
その後、オゾン発生器6で生成した酸化還元電位2.8Vのオゾンガスで再びDNAの変形した細菌の芽胞を損傷させ、溶菌現象を生じさせ、細菌の生育を停止させる。なお、光触媒の後に、オゾン処理を行うのは、酸化還元電位が、光触媒の方が高い為である。
【0053】
このようにオゾンガスに加えて、紫外線ランプ3や光触媒を使用すれば、相互にその長所を持って殺菌作用を補完しあえる。即ち、オゾンガスは、紫外線の到達できない範囲外でも、充満して殺菌でき、また紫外線や光触媒などを使用するとオゾンガスは、細胞の芽胞を容易に損傷させ、更に一層の殺菌効果が得られる。
【0054】
室内に給気を行う場合は、ダンパ7を図1の点線の下方へ移動させて、流路を開放して、オゾン分解触媒装置8でオゾン分解を行い0.1ppm以下のオゾン化空気を給気する。オゾン分解触媒装置8は酸化マンガンで作られており、オゾン分解が低温域においても効率よく行え、また、オゾン分解の際に生ずる活性酸素でも殺菌・脱臭効果を期待させることができる。
【0055】
オゾン分解触媒装置8の表面に生ずる水膜・汚れなどによる効果低下を回避するために、加熱ヒータ14を設けてもよい。50度前後に加熱されたヒータの温風により、脱着、再成機能を持たせている。
【0056】
空気清浄装置1において、装置の構成機器又は装置のケーシング鋼板などに、常時効果が期待できる抗菌剤を使用することができる。抗菌剤には、安全であり耐熱性の高い無機系抗菌剤が使われている(図4)。
【0057】
無機系抗菌剤は、幅広い抗菌スペクトルを持ち、また耐性菌を生じさせない効力がある。殺菌・脱臭効力を最大限にする方法として、抗菌剤を塗料に混ぜた時に、分散性をよくし、表面上に浮上させることによって抗菌効果を向上させることができる。
【0058】
無機系抗菌剤を塗料に混入する際は、分散性をよくするために、溶剤などに充分混合・分散した後に塗料と混合するなどによって、抗菌剤の凝集をなくし分散化された塗料とする。
【0059】
抗菌剤に接触した細菌は、金属イオン(例えば銀、亜鉛、銅イオンなど)によりタンパク質が破壊され溶菌現象を起こし死滅する。空気清浄装置1では主に落下付着菌を殺菌・脱臭する機能を備えてある。上記の構成により、システマティックに殺菌・脱臭することを可能にする。
【0060】
空気清浄装置1の内部に抗菌剤入りの塗膜などを施せば、空気清浄装置1の内部では通常、細菌などの増殖が抑制され、オゾンガスの発生非発生時を問わず、常時滅菌作用を受ける。
【0061】
このように抗菌剤は、オゾンガスのようにガス発生時だけでなく、常時殺菌作用が期待できて、オゾンガスと併用すれば、一層細菌を絶滅することが可能となり、オゾンガスのみの使用での殺菌時間を短縮出来ると共にコストも軽減できる。
【0062】
殺菌・脱臭を行うに当たっては、有人又は無人時において、概要、室や空気清浄装置における次のような処理方法がなされる。
(1)無人時の室内の殺菌・脱臭
(2)有人時の室内への殺菌・脱臭
【0063】
無人時の室内の殺菌・脱臭について説明する。
【0064】
夜間など室内に人がいない、無人のとき、室内にオゾンを導き、室内をオゾンで薫蒸する。即ち、高いオゾン濃度で一定時間維持する。これにより、室内の内部の殺菌を強力に行うことができる。
【0065】
夜間など、室の内部に人がいない、いわゆる無人のときには、ダンパー7を実線の方へ移動して、オゾン分解触媒装置8への流路を閉ざして、オゾン発生器6を作動させ、フアン11または12を静粛に運転させながら、オゾン含有空気だけを室の内部に導く。
【0066】
この場合に前述したように、送風手段であるフアン11は、インバータ制御により回転数を任意に可変させることができ、オゾン薫蒸時には、フアン11の回転数を下げ、風速・風量を小さくする。
ここで、オゾン薫蒸時とは、オゾン濃度が高いことの意味で、つまり殺菌を無人時に直接室内に行う場合である。
これは、フアン回転数が大きいと実験の結果、フアンでオゾンが分解されるので、フアンの回転数を下げて、その無駄となるオゾン消費量を小さくすることが可能となる。
【0067】
この状態を維持しながら、一定時間オゾン濃度を作用させて室内の殺菌をする。
【0068】
この後に再び、空気清浄装置1のファン11の運転を再開する。ただし、このときには切換ダンパ7は、図1の破線の位置に移動してオゾン分解触媒装置8への流路を開く。このようにして、室の内部の空気は循環し、オゾン分解触媒装置8の作用によりオゾンは分解される。
以下、各実施例で、殺菌・脱臭後のオゾン分解触媒装置の作動は、同様に行われる。
【0069】
かくして、室の内部の零囲気中のオゾン濃度は減少し、人の安全許容限界以下に達する。その時点で、空気清浄装置1の運転は停止される。
【0070】
有人時の室内への殺菌・脱臭済み循環空気の給気について説明する。
【0071】
また、人が常時いる室にいる場合にも、その空気を空気清浄装置1に導き、前述の切換ダンパ7を点線の位置に移動し、オゾン発生器6で発生したオゾンを、オゾン分解触媒装置8での分解作用により、殺菌作用をし同時に脱臭作用を行うことができる。
【0072】
空気清浄装置1からの殺菌・脱臭済みの空気は、フアン11の回転数を最大限にし、風速・風量を増すことにより、フアン11での強圧強風の流れによって、残オゾン空気を強制的に自然分解させることもでき、無害・無臭化してから室内へ給気する。
【0073】
フアン11の高速回転により、残存オゾンガスを自然分解させる外に、電気集塵機9または光触媒10を併用すれば、その相乗効果により人体にとって、より安全な空気を給気できる。
【0074】
空気清浄装置1の切換ダンパ7の位置を破線側に移動しておき、オゾン分解触媒装置8を作動させ、空気清浄装置1を運転すると、該装置1を通過する順次空気は殺菌作用を受ける。
【0075】
この殺菌作用を受けた空気はダクトなどを通じて室に給気される。このような空気循環を行うことにより、室内の空気中の殺菌作用が継続して行われることになる。なお、オゾン発生器6からのオゾンは、オゾン分解触媒装置8の作用により当然分解・無害化されている。
【0076】
又、抗菌手段として、抗菌シートや塗料を塗った部分へほこりや油煙が付着しているのを、オゾンガスを環流させたり、また単に循環空気を流すことにより取り除くこともできる。
【0077】
又、空気清浄装置1には、フアン吹出口でオゾンセンサー13により、常にオゾンの濃度管理を行っており、オゾンセンサー13が許容値以上の値を検知した時には、直ちにオゾン発生器6を停止させて、許容値以下になるようにする。
【0078】
このように本発明では、循環空気を必要に応じて、殺菌・脱臭のために、または有人の時には、殺菌・脱臭済みの空気を送ることができる。
【0079】
以上の構成を設けることにより、同様の作用をなすことができる。
なお、本発明装置は、空気清浄装置としても使用出来る外、例えば空気調和機にも接続して使用できる。
【0080】
【発明の効果】
有人又は無人時に応じて、空気清浄装置を、殺菌・脱臭用に切り換える為の切換制御手段と、紫外線ランプ等を初めオゾン発生器、オゾン分解触媒装置からなる殺菌・脱臭手段を備えたので、室内それに伴う流路等の空気の殺菌・脱臭の処理を必要に応じて十分に行えるものとなり、有人や無人に対応して、殺菌・脱臭を必要且つ十分に行えるものとなった。
【0081】
殺菌・脱臭手段として、オゾン発生器、オゾン分解触媒装置を備えたものであるので、オゾンガスの強力な殺菌力だけでなく脱臭効果も十分に期待できる。
【0082】
従来は、人がいる、即ち有人の場合には、殺菌・脱臭が不可能であったので、その作業時間等は,夜等に著しく制限されていたのが、有人時にも、即応して随時、各室内、空気清浄装置、それに伴う流路等の殺菌・脱臭作用を十分に行わせる事ができることとなった。
【0083】
特に、オゾン分解触媒装置には、その流路に、該流路を開閉する部材を備えているので、その有人時にも殺菌・脱臭が可能となり、無人有人を問わず、殺菌・脱臭ができることとなった。
【0084】
前記従来技術では、単に空気調和機の内部や流路内に付属的に殺菌手段を設けたもので、室内を一過性で通過する為に、なかなか完全な殺菌処理が出来なかったのが、本格的な殺菌手段を効果的に配置したので集中的に連続して出来ることとなった。特に、本発明では、確実に集中的に、特に室内を殺菌・脱臭が行えることとなった。
【0085】
又、従来は、空調装置の中に滅菌装置を設けた為に、該滅菌装置を修理や交換するときは、空調装置をいちいち停止させねばならず、手間とコストを要しており、その空間的な限度の為に、空気清浄装置の規模や能力が制限されていたのが、空気調和機に並列に本発明の空気清浄装置を配置すれば、修理や交換は随時でき、また空気清浄装置の能力の向上等も必要に応じて行えるものとなった。
【0086】
また、従来使用されてきた紫外線ランプでは、照射部分しか、又は照射の到達範囲内でしか殺菌出来ないために、非照射部分での殺菌が不完全で有ったので、細菌の繁殖が避けられず、滅菌効果が滅殺されたが、オゾンガスは、紫外線の到達できない範囲外でも、充満して殺菌でき、オゾンガスと併用すると一層の作用効果が得られた。
【0087】
更に、空気清浄装置内に抗菌手段を設ければ、オゾンガスの強力な殺菌力に加えて、更に、オゾンガスの発生非発生時を問わず、常時、殺菌作用が期待できて、オゾンガスと併用すれば、一層強力に細菌を絶滅することが可能となり、オゾンガスのみの使用での殺菌時間を短縮出来ると共にコストも軽減できる。
【0088】
オゾンガスに加えて、紫外線ランプ及び光触媒を使用し、前段で通常の紫外線照射をして、紫外線の波長を光触媒の活性酸素を生じさせるものを照射をすれば、次段のオゾンガスのも加えて、滅菌効果を更に一段と上げることが出来る。
【0089】
更に、従来、抗菌剤シートでも、長期間使用すると、抗菌剤を含有した塗膜の表面近くでは、ほこり、油煙などが付着したが、オゾンガス又は循環空気を空気清浄装置内を環流させるので、ほこり、油煙などが付着することが阻止される。

[0008]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the sterilization treatment performed by the above-described conventional air cleaning device, sterilization was not sufficient. For this reason, there is a possibility that air in which bacteria have propagated may be sent to a hospital room or a food manufacturing room, for example.
[0009]
In the prior art, sterilization means is simply provided inside the air purifier or in the flow path, and the airborne bacteria in the room cannot be effectively sterilized effectively.
[0010]
In particular, in the past, since sterilization means was provided in the air conditioner, it was impossible to intensively sterilize the room alone.
[0011]
In addition, due to the structure in which ozone is generated inside the air purifier and sterilized, and ozone is immediately decomposed by the ozonolysis catalyst, there is a limit on spatial sterilization capacity, and the scale of the air purifier And the ability was limited.
[0012]
In addition, since the ultraviolet lamps that have been used in the past can be sterilized only at the irradiated part or within the reachable range of irradiation, the sterilization at the non-irradiated part is incomplete, so that the growth of bacteria can be avoided. The sterilization effect was destroyed.
[0013]
Furthermore, even when the antibacterial agent sheet is used for a long period of time, dust, oily smoke, etc. will adhere near the surface of the coating film containing the antibacterial agent, and if the direct contact with microorganisms or the closest approach is prevented, the antibacterial effect Is significantly reduced. Therefore, the antibacterial effect is remarkably inhibited, and the sterilization treatment performed by the above-described conventional air purifier has not been sufficiently sterilized. For this reason, there is a possibility that air in which bacteria have propagated may be sent to a hospital room or a food manufacturing room, for example.
[0014]
An object of the present invention is to obtain an apparatus that can sufficiently perform sterilization and deodorization treatment in a room or the like that improves the above-described problems. More specifically, it is an object of the present invention to obtain an apparatus and method that can sterilize and deodorize in a necessary and sufficient manner according to manned and unmanned.
[0015]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides an ozone generator, sterilization / deodorization means which is an ozone decomposition catalyst device, a fan device on the downstream side of the ozone decomposition catalyst device, and the ozone decomposition catalyst device includes: A flow path switching member for opening and closing the ozone decomposition catalyst device is provided on one side, and the fan device on the downstream side of the ozone decomposition catalyst device is provided with a variable adjusting means for the rotation speed of the fan, so that it is unattended. During ozone sterilization (fumigation) and man-made ozone deodorization, during unmanned sterilization, the other was opened with the flow path to the ozone decomposition catalyst device closed to prevent ozone decomposition By reducing the fan speed for ozone passing through the flow path, the air volume and speed are reduced to avoid exhaustion of ozone, and when manned deodorization, the fan rotates against ozone gas passing through the ozone decomposition catalyst device. Increase the number , By increasing the wind speed-air flow, to provide an air cleaning apparatus for supplying larger to harmless air decomposition of ozone into the room.
[0017]
The sterilizing and deodorizing means provides an air cleaning device comprising an ultraviolet lamp and the photocatalyst exciting light and photocatalytic.
[0027]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on an example with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention.
[0028]
FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. The air purifying apparatus 1 can constitute a housing with an antibacterial steel sheet obtained by baking and painting an inorganic antibacterial agent or a photocatalyst on the inner and outer surfaces. 1 in FIG. 1 shows the plane, and 2 in FIG.
[0029]
An antibacterial agent can be contained in a coating film or the like on the inner surface of the air cleaning device. In this case, an antibacterial agent is contained in the paint, etc., and is applied by baking, roller coating, spraying, or the like.
[0030]
As the antibacterial agent, inorganic materials such as silver, zinc oxide, and copper are used alone or in combination. By the action of the antibacterial agent, the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and mold on or near the surface of the coating film is suppressed, and can be reduced and sterilized.
[0031]
Inside the air cleaning device 1, there are an antibacterial prefilter 2, an ultraviolet lamp 3, a photocatalyst excitation lamp 4, a photocatalytic filter 5, an ozone generator 6, a sterilizing ozone generator 60, a deodorizing ozone generator 61, a damper 7, An ozone decomposition catalyst device 8, an electric dust collector 9 or a photocatalyst 10, fans 11, 12 and an ozone concentration sensor 13 are provided.
The ultraviolet lamp 3 can also be provided in front of the antibacterial prefilter 2.
[0032]
The ozone generator 6 can be divided into a sterilizing ozone generator 60 and a deodorizing ozone generator 61. The sterilization is particularly intended for sterilization, and the deodorization is used for the purpose of reducing ozone generation.
[0033]
Further, if the fan 11 is provided on the downstream side of the air cleaning device 1, it becomes a suction type, and ozone gas does not leak to the outside as compared with the pressurization type of the push-in type.
If the fan 12 is provided on the suction side, a push-in type is adopted. In this case, however, it is possible to perform a treatment so that ozone is not destroyed as will be described later.
[0034]
As shown in FIG. 1, the damper 7 can be moved to a dotted line position.
Since the movement of the damper 7 requires that the flow path be opened and ozone be decomposed by the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8 when circulating air is sent to a manned room, the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8 It is moved to circulate through it.
[0035]
Various structures are conceivable as the moving device of the damper 7, and FIG. 2 shows a link mechanism.
When the motor 701 rotates, the arm 702 rotates, and when the link 703 is moved to the right in the figure, the closing plate 70 and the link 703 are connected to each other so that the closing plate 70 is moved to the right in the figure. Then, the flow path is opened with respect to the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8.
[0036]
In this case, a sealing device can be provided. FIG. 3 shows a specific example thereof.
When the link 703 is moved to the left, the tip of the link 703 collides with the rotation root 705 of the swing bar 704, and the swing bar 704 is rotated against the closing plate 70 against the spring force. The closing plate 70 is pressed against the seal member 709.
At the same time, the closing plate 70 comes into contact with the stopper 708 to complete the sealing.
[0037]
In addition, the swing bar 704 is preferably provided via a pin on a support 707 supported by the housing 15, and is integrally jointed with the bar 706 in the drawing.
[0038]
The fan 11 that is a blowing means can arbitrarily change the rotation speed by inverter control, and during ozone fumigation, the rotation speed of the fan 11 is decreased to reduce the wind speed and the air volume.
Here, the time of ozone fumigation means that the ozone concentration is high, that is, the case where sterilization is performed directly indoors when unattended.
This is because if the fan rotation speed is high, ozone is decomposed by the fan as a result of the experiment, so that the ozone rotation amount is reduced and the wasteful ozone consumption is reduced.
[0039]
Further, at the time of ozone deodorization, the rotation speed of the fan 11 is increased to increase the wind speed and volume, and the ozone decomposition amount is increased to supply harmless air.
Here, ozone deodorization means that the air cleaning device 1 performs sterilization, but the device 1 decomposes ozone to deodorize and is a case where the device is manned indoors.
[0040]
Or, if the fan 11 does not have inverter control, during the ozone fumigation, the fan 11 is stopped, and a small amount of air is blown out by the fan 12 at the lower part of the air purifier 1, This minimizes the amount of wasteful decomposition and generates a high concentration of ozone.
[0041]
When ozone is used for sterilization and deodorization, an ozone generator with an ozone generation amount of several hundred to several thousand mg / h is used for sterilization, and an ozone generator with an ozone generation amount of about several tens mg / h at the time of deodorization. By using the ozone, it is possible to effectively use ozone, guarantee the safety in deodorization, and extend the life of the ozonolysis catalyst.
It is also possible to adjust the amount of ozone generated by adjusting the output of one ozone generator.
[0042]
An electric dust collector 9 or a photocatalyst 10 can be provided downstream of the ozonolysis catalyst 8. When the electric dust collector 9 is used, the residual ozone odor is physically decomposed electrically.
At this time, negative ions are obtained, and air in a favorable environment for the human body can be supplied.
When a photocatalyst is used, the residual ozone odor is decomposed by an oxidation-reduction action.
[0043]
For example, since ozone has low reactivity to ammonia, an activated carbon filter may be placed on the downstream side of the ozone decomposition catalyst. However, activated carbon cannot adsorb a substance having a low molecular weight, and the deodorizing function is There is a problem of life mainly due to adsorption action.
[0044]
For example, if a photocatalyst is used instead of the activated carbon filter, deodorization and sterilization can be performed over a wide range including not only ammonia but also acetaldehyde, trimethylamine, acetic acid, methyl mercaptan, styrene, hydrogen sulfide, and nitrogen oxide. The deodorizing function has a long life mainly due to the oxidation-reduction action, and has a bactericidal action simultaneously with the deodorizing function.
In addition, activated carbon itself has a bactericidal effect, so it easily becomes a hotbed of bacteria, but this is not the case with photocatalysts.
[0045]
The features of the germicidal and deodorizing system for pathogenic bacteria are described in detail below.
In the air cleaning device 1, the components of the sterilization / deodorization system are the antibacterial pre-filter 2, the ultraviolet lamp 3, the photocatalytic excitation pump 4, and the photocatalytic filter 5 in the air cleaning device 1 with respect to non-treated air. , An ozone generator 6, a damper 7, an ozone decomposition catalyst device 8, an electric dust collector 9 or a photocatalyst 10, fans 11, 12 and an ozone sensor 13 are provided.
[0046]
Further, an ultraviolet lamp 3 may be provided in front of the prefilter 2. First, when an ultraviolet lamp 3 having a wavelength of 254 nm is provided and irradiated, airborne bacteria contained in the untreated air cause the heat energy of the ultraviolet lamp 3 to damage bacterial DNA. The self-proliferating function is reduced by ming dimer formation.
[0047]
For airborne bacteria contained in non-treated air after treatment, a combination of ultraviolet light having a specific wavelength and a photocatalyst is effective.
That is, the feature of the titanium oxide photocatalyst system is that the reaction occurs when the surface comes into contact with water. Because of its adsorptive properties, if it is not completely dry, it will react even when it comes in contact with air.
[0048]
For the titanium oxide photocatalyst, an ultraviolet ray having a wavelength range of 315 to 400 nm is preferably suitable for exciting the photocatalyst. When the ultraviolet lamp 3 having a wavelength of about 400 nm hits the surface of titanium oxide, a strong oxidation potential of 3v is generated, and water is decomposed to generate active oxygen. This is an oxidation potential larger than that of chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, ozone, etc., and is such that almost all can be decomposed and oxidized.
[0049]
Therefore, if a photocatalyst excitation lamp 4 (also referred to as a black light lamp), which is a kind of ultraviolet lamp, is provided, the titanium oxide photocatalyst (anatase type) photocatalyst filter 5 having a redox potential of 3 V is more activated by irradiation with the light. Is produced, and active oxygen is generated, destroying bacterial spores and verotoxins.
[0050]
On the other hand, the ultraviolet lamp 3 without a photocatalyst in the previous stage may be a normal sterilizing lamp having a wavelength of 100 to 280 nm. This is because the photocatalyst has an effect of causing its action but is low.
As described above, when the normal ultraviolet irradiation is performed in the preceding stage and the photocatalyst is irradiated while changing the wavelength of the ultraviolet light, the sterilization effect can be further enhanced.
[0051]
When the two-stage ultraviolet irradiation is reversed, the active oxygen changes the surface layer of the spore and a part of the DNA inside the spore, and the generation of TDHT in the spore is suppressed during the ultraviolet irradiation, so that it is completely sterilized. This is because some bacteria cannot be used and the sterilization effect is reduced.
[0052]
Thereafter, the bacterial spores whose DNA has been deformed are again damaged by ozone gas having a redox potential of 2.8 V generated by the ozone generator 6, causing a lysis phenomenon and stopping the growth of the bacteria. The ozone treatment is performed after the photocatalyst because the photocatalyst has a higher oxidation-reduction potential.
[0053]
If the ultraviolet lamp 3 or the photocatalyst is used in addition to the ozone gas in this way, the sterilization action can be complemented with the advantages of each other. That is, ozone gas can be filled and sterilized even outside the range where ultraviolet rays cannot reach, and when ultraviolet rays or photocatalysts are used, ozone gas can easily damage the spores of cells and provide a further sterilizing effect.
[0054]
When supplying air into the room, the damper 7 is moved below the dotted line in FIG. 1, the flow path is opened, and the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8 performs ozone decomposition to supply 0.1 ppm or less ozonized air. I care. The ozonolysis catalyst device 8 is made of manganese oxide, so that the ozonolysis can be efficiently performed even in a low temperature region, and the sterilization / deodorization effect can be expected even with active oxygen generated during the ozonolysis.
[0055]
A heater 14 may be provided in order to avoid a decrease in effect due to a water film or dirt generated on the surface of the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8. Desorption and regeneration functions are provided by the warm air of the heater heated to around 50 degrees.
[0056]
In the air cleaning device 1, an antibacterial agent that can be expected to be always effective can be used for the component equipment of the device or the casing steel plate of the device. As the antibacterial agent, an inorganic antibacterial agent that is safe and has high heat resistance is used (FIG. 4).
[0057]
Inorganic antibacterial agents have a broad antibacterial spectrum and have the effect of not causing resistant bacteria. As a method for maximizing the sterilizing / deodorizing effect, the antibacterial effect can be improved by improving the dispersibility when the antibacterial agent is mixed with the paint and floating on the surface.
[0058]
When the inorganic antibacterial agent is mixed in the coating material, in order to improve the dispersibility, the antibacterial agent aggregation is eliminated by mixing and dispersing in a solvent or the like and then mixing with the coating material.
[0059]
Bacteria that have come into contact with the antibacterial agent die by lysis due to the destruction of proteins by metal ions (eg, silver, zinc, copper ions, etc.). The air cleaning device 1 mainly has a function of sterilizing and deodorizing the fallen bacteria. With the above configuration, it is possible to sterilize and deodorize systematically.
[0060]
If a coating film containing an antibacterial agent is applied to the inside of the air cleaning device 1, the growth of bacteria or the like is normally suppressed inside the air cleaning device 1 and is constantly sterilized regardless of whether or not ozone gas is generated. .
[0061]
In this way, the antibacterial agent can be expected not only at the time of gas generation like ozone gas, but also at all times, and if used in combination with ozone gas, it becomes possible to further extinguish bacteria, and the sterilization time using only ozone gas As well as cost.
[0062]
When performing sterilization / deodorization, the following processing methods are generally performed in a room or an air purifier when manned or unmanned.
(1) Indoor sterilization and deodorization when no man is used (2) Indoor sterilization and deodorization when man is used [0063]
The sterilization and deodorization in the room when unattended will be explained.
[0064]
When there are no people in the room at night, such as at night, ozone is introduced into the room and the room is fumigated with ozone. That is, a high ozone concentration is maintained for a certain time. Thereby, the inside of a room can be sterilized powerfully.
[0065]
When there is no person inside the room, such as at night, so-called unattended, the damper 7 is moved toward the solid line, the flow path to the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8 is closed, the ozone generator 6 is activated, and the fan 11 Alternatively, only ozone-containing air is introduced into the chamber while the 12 is operated silently.
[0066]
In this case, as described above, the fan 11 serving as the air blowing means can arbitrarily change the rotational speed by inverter control, and during ozone fumigation, the rotational speed of the fan 11 is decreased to reduce the wind speed and the air volume.
Here, the time of ozone fumigation means that the ozone concentration is high, that is, the case where sterilization is performed directly indoors when unattended.
As a result of the experiment, if the fan rotation speed is large, ozone is decomposed by the fan. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the wasteful ozone consumption by reducing the fan rotation speed.
[0067]
While maintaining this state, the ozone concentration is applied for a certain period of time to sterilize the room.
[0068]
Thereafter, the operation of the fan 11 of the air cleaning device 1 is resumed. However, at this time, the switching damper 7 moves to the position of the broken line in FIG. 1 and opens the flow path to the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8. In this way, the air inside the chamber circulates, and ozone is decomposed by the action of the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8.
Hereinafter, in each Example, the action | operation of the ozonolysis catalyst apparatus after disinfection and deodorizing is performed similarly.
[0069]
Thus, the ozone concentration in the zero atmosphere inside the room decreases and reaches below the human safety tolerance limit. At that time, the operation of the air cleaning device 1 is stopped.
[0070]
A description will be given of the supply of circulating air that has been sterilized and deodorized indoors when manned.
[0071]
Further, even in a room where people are always present, the air is guided to the air cleaning device 1, the switching damper 7 is moved to the position of the dotted line, and the ozone generated by the ozone generator 6 is converted into the ozone decomposition catalyst device. By the decomposition action at 8, it can be sterilized and simultaneously deodorized.
[0072]
The sterilized and deodorized air from the air purifier 1 maximizes the number of rotations of the fan 11 and increases the wind speed and air volume, thereby forcing the residual ozone air to be naturally forced by the flow of high pressure and strong wind in the fan 11. It can be decomposed, and it is harmless and non-brominated before it is supplied to the room.
[0073]
If the electrostatic precipitator 9 or the photocatalyst 10 is used in combination with the remaining ozone gas being naturally decomposed by the high-speed rotation of the fan 11, safer air can be supplied to the human body due to the synergistic effect.
[0074]
When the position of the switching damper 7 of the air cleaning device 1 is moved to the broken line side, the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8 is operated and the air cleaning device 1 is operated, the sequential air passing through the device 1 undergoes a sterilizing action.
[0075]
The sterilized air is supplied to the room through a duct or the like. By performing such air circulation, the sterilizing action in the indoor air is continuously performed. The ozone from the ozone generator 6 is naturally decomposed and detoxified by the action of the ozone decomposition catalyst device 8.
[0076]
Further, as an antibacterial means, dust and oily smoke adhering to a part coated with an antibacterial sheet or paint can be removed by circulating ozone gas or simply flowing circulating air.
[0077]
In addition, the air purifier 1 always manages the ozone concentration by the ozone sensor 13 at the fan outlet. When the ozone sensor 13 detects a value exceeding the allowable value, the ozone generator 6 is immediately stopped. So that it is less than the allowable value.
[0078]
As described above, according to the present invention, the circulated air can be sent for sterilization / deodorization or, when necessary, sterilized / deodorized air as needed.
[0079]
By providing the above configuration, the same action can be achieved.
The device of the present invention can be used as an air cleaning device, or connected to an air conditioner, for example.
[0080]
【The invention's effect】
Since it is equipped with switching control means for switching the air cleaning device for sterilization / deodorization according to manned or unmanned, and sterilization / deodorization means consisting of an ozone generator, ozone decomposition catalyst device such as an ultraviolet lamp, etc. As a result, sterilization and deodorization of air in the flow path and the like can be sufficiently performed as necessary, and sterilization and deodorization can be performed sufficiently and appropriately for manned and unmanned.
[0081]
Since the ozone generator and the ozone decomposition catalyst device are provided as the sterilization / deodorization means, not only the strong sterilization power of ozone gas but also a deodorization effect can be sufficiently expected.
[0082]
In the past, sterilization and deodorization was impossible when there were people, that is, manned, so the working time was significantly limited at night etc. Thus, it was possible to sufficiently perform sterilization and deodorization of each room, the air purifier, and the flow path associated therewith.
[0083]
In particular, the ozone decomposition catalyst device is provided with a member that opens and closes the flow path in the flow path, so that it can be sterilized and deodorized even when manned, and can be sterilized and deodorized regardless of whether it is unmanned. became.
[0084]
In the above-mentioned conventional technology, the sterilization means is simply provided inside the air conditioner or in the flow path, and since it passes through the room temporarily, it was difficult to completely sterilize. Since full-fledged sterilization means were arranged effectively, it was possible to intensively and continuously. In particular, according to the present invention, it is possible to sterilize and deodorize the room reliably and intensively, particularly in the room.
[0085]
Conventionally, since a sterilizer is provided in the air conditioner, when the sterilizer is repaired or replaced, the air conditioner must be stopped one by one. The scale and capacity of the air purifier have been limited due to the limitations, but if the air purifier of the present invention is arranged in parallel with the air conditioner, repair or replacement can be performed at any time. The improvement of the ability of can be done as needed.
[0086]
In addition, since the ultraviolet lamps that have been used in the past can be sterilized only at the irradiated part or within the reachable range of irradiation, the sterilization at the non-irradiated part is incomplete, so that the growth of bacteria can be avoided. However, the sterilization effect was annihilated, but the ozone gas could be filled and sterilized even outside the range where ultraviolet rays could not reach, and further effects were obtained when used in combination with ozone gas.
[0087]
Furthermore, if an antibacterial means is provided in the air purifier, in addition to the strong sterilizing power of ozone gas, it can always be expected to have a bactericidal action regardless of whether ozone gas is generated or not. It becomes possible to extinguish bacteria more powerfully, and the sterilization time using only ozone gas can be shortened and the cost can be reduced.
[0088]
In addition to ozone gas, use an ultraviolet lamp and a photocatalyst, irradiate with normal ultraviolet rays at the previous stage, and irradiate with ultraviolet rays that generate photocatalytic active oxygen, add ozone gas at the next stage, The sterilization effect can be further increased.
[0089]
Furthermore, even if the antibacterial agent sheet is used for a long period of time, dust and oily smoke adhere to the surface of the coating film containing the antibacterial agent. However, dust or oily smoke is circulated in the air cleaning device. , Oil smoke etc. are prevented from adhering.
