  Water is stored in the water supply tank 11. The water supply valve 12 is attached to the lower part of the water supply tank 11. The water supply tank 11 and the water supply valve 12 are detachable from the main body case 10. When the water supply tank 11 and the water supply valve 12 are mounted in the main body case 10, the water supply valve 12 fits into a recess formed in the main body case 10, and the water supply valve 12 is automatically opened. The fluid conveyance device 1 has a water level detection unit (not shown) that detects the water level in the water supply tank 11.

  The water supply channel 13 is configured to connect the water supply valve 12 and the bottom of the water storage unit 14 with the water supply tank 11 and the water supply valve 12 mounted in the main body case 10. The water in the water supply tank 11 is supplied to the water storage part 14 through the water supply valve 12 and the water supply path 13.

  A heater (not shown) is attached to the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the water reservoir 14 to heat the water in the water reservoir 14 and generate steam. A thermistor (not shown) is attached to the lower part of the outer peripheral surface of the water reservoir 14 as a temperature detector. In the first embodiment, the water storage unit 14 and the heater constitute a steam generation unit that generates steam.

  A base end portion of the steam duct 15 is connected to the upper portion of the water storage portion 14. The steam duct 15 serves as a path for sending the steam generated in the water storage unit 14 to the outside. The steam duct 15 extends upward from the upper surface of the water storage section 14 and is formed to protrude forward outside the main body case 10 via a curved section 152 that bends forward. The steam sent from the water storage section 14 through the steam duct 15 is discharged to the outside from a steam discharge section (steam outlet) 151 provided at the tip of the steam duct 15. A front end side portion 153 of the steam duct 15 located on the front end side with respect to the curved portion 152 is disposed inside a blower duct 16 to be described later.

  A base end portion of the air duct 16 is disposed in the main body case 10. A portion on the front end side of the air duct 16 is disposed so as to protrude forward outside the main body case 10. The blower fan 17 functions as a blower that generates an air flow. The blower fan 17 is disposed so as to face the base end face of the blower duct 16. The structure of the blower fan 17 is not particularly limited, and for example, a sirocco fan, a propeller type axial flow fan, a cross flow fan, or the like can be used. When the blower fan 17 is driven, air is sucked from behind the blower fan 17, and air is sent into the blower duct 16 from the front of the blower fan 17. The air sent from the blower fan 17 through the blower duct 16 is discharged to the outside from the blowout port 161 provided at the tip of the blower duct 16.

  On the wind path on the windward side of the blower fan 17, the discharge / electric field generating device 2 is arranged. This discharge / electric field generating device 2 is for sterilizing or inactivating bacteria, molds, viruses, allergens (allergens), etc. present in the air flowing through the air passage. Therefore, the airflow blown to the outside from the blower fan 17 through the blower duct 16 is clean air that has passed through the discharge / electric field generating device 2. Details of the discharge / electric field generating device 2 will be described later.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in this Embodiment 1, the air duct 16 is formed so that the flow direction of the air in the air duct 16 may become linear. In other words, the air duct 16 is formed in a straight line over the entire length from the base end portion of the air duct 16 to the air outlet 161. According to such a configuration, the pressure loss of the blower duct 16 is reduced and the ventilation duct 16 is ventilated as compared to a configuration in which there is a portion that is curved or bent in the air flow direction in the blower duct 16. It is possible to reliably suppress the occurrence of turbulence in the flowing airflow, and thus it is possible to reliably suppress the generation of an unpleasant wind noise or the like. For this reason, even when the user uses the fluid conveyance device 1 while sleeping, it is possible to reliably suppress the deterioration of the sleep environment.

  In the first embodiment, the air duct 16 is arranged such that the front end side of the air duct 16 faces obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal plane H when the fluid conveyance device 1 is placed on a horizontal plane such as a floor surface. Has been placed. In the following description, the description of the air duct 16 and other angles is based on the assumption that the fluid conveyance device 1 is placed on a horizontal plane. In the first embodiment, the inclination angle θ1 formed by the longitudinal direction of the air duct 16 with respect to the horizontal plane H is preferably in the range of 20 ° to 40 °.

  In the first embodiment, the front end side portion 153 of the steam duct 15 disposed inside the air duct 16 is disposed so that the front end side is inclined downward with respect to the horizontal plane H, similarly to the air duct 16. . In the first embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the air duct 16 and the longitudinal direction of the tip end portion 153 of the steam duct 15 are parallel to each other.

  The steam discharge part 151 of the steam duct 15 and the air outlet 161 of the blower duct 16 are provided close to each other. The blower outlet 161 is formed so as to surround the periphery of the vapor discharge part 151. The air in the air duct 16 is sent to the outlet 161 through a flow path formed between the outer wall surface of the steam duct 15 and the inner wall surface of the air duct 16.

  In the fluid conveyance device 1 according to the first embodiment, the vapor discharged to the outside from the vapor discharge portion 151 of the vapor duct 15 is mixed with the air flow discharged to the outside from the outlet 161 of the blower duct 16 to be conveyed. Is done. In other words, the steam discharged to the outside from the steam discharge part 151 is conveyed by the flow of air blown from the blower outlet 161. Thereby, a vapor | steam can be conveyed to a distant position which cannot reach only with the force of the vapor blown off from the vapor | steam discharge part 151. FIG. For this reason, even when a distance is generated between the user and the fluid conveyance device 1, such as when the user uses the fluid conveyance device 1 while sleeping, the vapor is reliably conveyed to the user's face or the like. In addition, it is possible to expect a restful sleep effect by moisturizing skin and hair efficiently or by promoting moisturizing of the nose and throat.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment 1, it suppresses that a vapor | steam raises by a buoyancy by conveying a vapor | steam by the flow of the air which blown off from the blower outlet 161 of the ventilation duct 16 in the diagonally downward direction with respect to the horizontal surface H. It is possible to transport steam to a farther position, and when the user uses the fluid transport device 1 while sleeping, steam mixed with air is used without being blocked by bedding It becomes possible to touch the person's face from above. In particular, by configuring the direction in which the air flow is discharged from the air outlet 161 of the blower duct 16 to be in a range of 20 ° to 40 ° obliquely downward with respect to the horizontal plane H, the above effect can be further improved. It becomes possible to make it show remarkably.

  The air outlet 161 of the air duct 16 may be formed in an elongated shape along the width direction. Moreover, it is preferable that the size in the width direction of the air outlet 161 of the air duct 16 is larger than the size in the width direction of the steam discharge portion 151 of the steam duct 15. According to such a structure, the vapor | steam discharge | released from the vapor | steam discharge part 151 spreads in the width | variety comparable as the blower outlet 161, and is conveyed. As a result, the vapor is transported so that the directivity is not too high while diffusion is suppressed. Thereby, for example, even if steam is conveyed to a human face or the like, it is possible to reliably suppress annoyance such as troublesomeness. Further, a plurality of steam discharge portions 151 are formed by branching the front end side portion 153 of the steam duct 15 into a plurality, and the plurality of steam discharge portions 151 are arranged in the longitudinal direction (width direction) of the air outlet 161 of the air duct 16. You may arrange | position at intervals along. According to such a structure, when the vapor | steam discharge | released from the vapor | steam discharge | release part 151 spreads to the width | variety comparable as the blower outlet 161, it spreads more uniformly. As a result, since steam is transported in a state where there is little bias due to the position in the width direction, for example, even if steam is transported to a human face or the like, it is surely suppressed from giving discomfort such as troublesomeness.
