Conventionally, in this type of thing, mist is generated by crushing the water in the water storage chamber by a mist generating means, and a mist operation is performed in which humidified air containing mist is blown into the room from the air outlet to the outside of the appliance body by a blower fan. There is something to be done, and the humidification amount and air volume are adjusted according to the humidity in the room and the set mode, and the relative humidity in the room where the equipment body is placed is changed so that the room is kept at the set humidity. Was there. (For example, Patent Document 1)

Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-222156

However, in this conventional case, the amount of humidified air that passes through the water storage chamber and the air-water separation air passage and is blown from the air outlet due to pressure loss decreases, so the room in which the instrument body is installed is humidified with a large amount of air. There is a problem that it takes a long time for the humidity in the room to reach an appropriate value even if the mist operation with the maximum air volume is performed when the air cannot be blown and the air in the room is extremely dry. rice field.

As a means to solve this, it is conceivable to replace the blower fan installed in the main body of the appliance with one that can output with a large air volume, but since the blower fan becomes larger than before as the output increases, the blower is blown. The installation space of the fan increases and the volume of the instrument body increases, which limits the installation location of the instrument body and leads to an increase in product cost. Furthermore, when the blower fan is driven with a large air volume, it occurs in the water storage room. Large-diameter water droplets with a large particle size contained in the mist are not removed in the air-water separation air passage, and dew condensation water adheres to the members constituting the air outlet and falls from the instrument body, and the installation surface of the instrument body gets wet. There was room for improvement.

In order to solve the above problems, in claim 1 of the present invention, the instrument main body, the blower fan installed in the appliance main body to blow air, and the air outside the appliance main body formed in the vicinity of the blower fan are blown. A suction port for sucking, a ventilation path through which air passing through the suction port flows, a water storage chamber in which an inflow port of a water storage chamber into which air in the ventilation path flows is formed at one end to store water, and a water storage chamber. A rotating body that pumps water by rotation and scatters it in the outer peripheral direction, a mist motor that connects to a drive shaft that supports the rotating body so that it can rotate, and water scattered by the rotating body collide with each other to make fine particles. Air water through which humidified air containing fine mist and large-diameter water droplets generated in the water storage chamber is connected to the colliding body that generates mist and large-diameter water droplets so that the flow path faces vertically upward at the other end of the water storage chamber. The separation air passage, the air-water separation means installed in the air-water separation air passage to separate the large-diameter water droplets contained in the humidified air, and the air-water separation means are the facing wall surfaces of the air-water separation air passage. A plurality of inclined surfaces are installed so as to be staggered with respect to each other, and an upper space through which humidified air containing a large amount of fine mist, which is connected to the upper end of the air-water separation air passage and passes through the air-water separation air passage, flows. A blower port formed on one side surface of the upper space and blowing the humidified air containing a large amount of fine mist to the outside of the main body of the appliance is provided.
A bypass inlet that allows air to flow in from the ventilation path without passing through the water storage chamber is formed on the downstream side of the steam separation means of the steam separation air passage and on the upstream side of the upper space, and the bypass inlet is formed. It is characterized in that it is formed in the air-water separation air passage at a position facing the inclined surface of the air-water separation means installed at a position closest to the air outlet .

According to the present invention, air can flow in from the ventilation path without passing through the water storage chamber so that the air volume blown by the blower fan does not decrease due to pressure loss due to passing through the water storage chamber and the air-water separation air passage. Since the bypass inlet is formed, the air volume blown from the air outlet does not decrease, the shortage of air volume during mist operation can be solved, and the air-water separation means installed in the air-water separation air passage. By forming a bypass inlet at least on the downstream side of the above, the air flowing in from the bypass inlet joins the humidified air after the large-diameter water droplets in the humidified air are separated by the air-water separation means, so that the air reaches the air outlet. It is possible to reduce the amount of large-diameter water droplets that reach and prevent the installation surface of the instrument body from getting wet due to dew condensation water.

In addition, a plurality of air-water separation means are installed so that the inclined surfaces that incline with respect to the facing wall surface of the air-water separation air passage are staggered, and the bypass inlet is the air-water installed at the position closest to the air outlet. Since it was formed in the air-water separation air passage at a position facing the inclined surface of the separation means, when the humidified air flows through the air-water separation air passage by driving the blower fan, the air installed near the water storage chamber. Since many large-diameter water droplets in the humidified air are separated by the water separation means, a bypass inlet is formed near the air outlet where the amount of large-diameter water droplets is small. Since the amount of water that reaches the maximum can be significantly reduced, it is possible to prevent the installation surface of the instrument body from getting wet due to dew condensation water adhering to the vicinity of the air outlet while solving the air volume shortage during mist operation.

As the air flows into the air-water separation air passage 17 from the bypass inflow port 51, the air volume of the humidified air rising from the water storage chamber 8 is increased, and the humidified air blown into the room from the air outlet 2 is used. The amount of air blown can be increased.

Next, the operation from the start to the end of the operation in this embodiment will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
First, when the operation switch 30 of the operation unit 6 is operated or the operation start time set by the timer changeover switch 33 is reached, the control unit 45 opens the drain valve 26 to drain the water in the water storage chamber 8. Then, when the OFF signal is detected by the water level sensor 21, the water supply valve 23 is opened to perform a cleaning operation of flushing the inside of the water storage chamber 8 with water, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the drain valve 26 is closed to flow in from the water supply valve 23. When the water level sensor 21 detects an ON signal, a water replacement mode is performed in which the water supply valve 23 is closed, assuming that a predetermined amount of water has been supplied into the water storage chamber 8 (step S101). ).

When the water replacement mode of step S101 is completed, the control unit 45 turns on the heater 19 by the heater control means 48 until the water storage temperature detected by the water storage temperature sensor 20 becomes equal to the room temperature, and the mist motor 11 And the start-up mode for executing the start-up operation controlled by the mist motor control means 46 and the blower fan control means 47 so that the blower fan 14 has a predetermined rotation speed is performed (step S102).

When the start-up mode of step S102 is completed, the control unit 45 causes the mist motor 11 and the blower fan 14 to rotate at a predetermined rotation speed based on the humidification level and the air volume level set by the humidification switch 31 and the air volume switch 32. The rotation speed is controlled by the mist motor control means 46 and the blower fan control means 47 so as to be driven, and the ON / OFF state of the heater 19 is switched and controlled by the heater control means 48 to control the humidification level and the air volume level. A normal operation mode for executing a mist operation within a predetermined temperature range is performed (step S103).

When it is determined that the operation switch 30 is operated during the normal operation mode of step S103 and an instruction to end the operation is given, the control unit 45 stops the mist motor 11 and then opens the drain valve 26 to enter the water storage chamber 8. Water is drained, and after a predetermined time has elapsed, the water supply valve 23 is opened to clean the inside of the water storage chamber 8, then the drain valve 26 is closed to perform a water replacement operation in which a predetermined amount of water is stored in the water storage chamber 8, and then a water replacement operation is performed. A sterilization operation for sterilizing water by heating water with the heating heater 19 turned on is performed for a predetermined time, and then a cooling operation for cooling the inside of the water storage chamber 8 is executed after a lapse of a predetermined time, and the water storage temperature becomes a predetermined temperature. When the following occurs, the drain valve 26 is opened to perform a cleaning mode for draining water (step S104).

When the cleaning mode of step S104 is completed, the control unit 45 controls the blower fan control means 47 so that the blower fan 14 is driven at a predetermined rotation speed (for example, 800 rpm), and blows air to the water storage chamber 8 and the blower path 15. A drying mode is performed to prevent the growth of bacteria by drying (step S105), it is determined whether the drive time of the blower fan 14 has counted a predetermined time (for example, 3 hours), and after counting for 3 hours, the blower fan 14 Is stopped and the operation is terminated.

Next, the influence of the humidified air flow path and the air flowing in from the bypass inlet 51 during the mist operation on the humidified air flow path will be described in detail.
First, when the mist operation is started and the mist motor 11 and the blower fan 14 are driven at a predetermined rotation speed, indoor air is sucked from the suction ports 49 on the bottom surface and the front surface of the instrument main body 1 and passes through the air cleaning filter 50. Clean air from which dust in the air has been removed.
Then, the air that has passed through the air purification filter 50 rises in the air passage 15, splits into the water storage chamber inlet 16 and the bypass inlet 51, and flows into the upper part of the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17, respectively.

The amount of air flowing into the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17 varies depending on the opening area between the water storage chamber inlet 16 and the bypass inlet 51, and the amount of air flowing in in proportion to the increase in the opening area. Will also increase. Therefore, water is stored so that the amount of air blown into the room is appropriately increased while ensuring a sufficient amount of air that can guide the humidified air containing fine mist and negative ions generated in the water storage chamber 8 to the air outlet 2. The opening areas of the chamber inlet 16 and the bypass inlet 51 are designed.

The air that has flowed into the water storage chamber 8 from the water storage chamber inlet 16 is humidified air containing fine mist, large-diameter water droplets, and negative ions generated by being pumped up by the rotating body 10 and crushed by the porous portion 13. Ascend the separated air passage 17.
When ascending the air-water separation air passage 17, the flow path meanders due to the baffle plates 18a, 18b, and 18c, and the large-diameter water droplets in the humidified air flow by licking the inclined surface P of each baffle plate 18. When it adheres to the surface of the baffle plate 18 and reaches the lower end of each inclined baffle plate 18, water droplets fall into the water storage chamber 8 due to gravity, so that the amount of large-diameter water droplets carried to the air outlet 2 can be reduced. ..

Then, the humidified air that has risen from the water storage chamber 8 through the air-water separation air passage 17 and the air that has been diverted through the air passage 15 and flowed in from the bypass air passage 51 are connected to the downstream end of the air-water separation air passage 17. The humidified air is mixed in the upper space 52, and the humidified air is guided in two directions of the air outlet by the side view substantially L-shaped guide plate 53 installed in the upper space 52, and the humidified air containing fine mist and negative ions is discharged. It is supplied indoors.

In this way, by forming the bypass air passage 51 through which the air flowing through the air passage 15 can flow in on the side surface of the air-water separation air passage 17, the air passage through the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17 is humidified by pressure loss. Even if the air volume decreases, air that is not affected by pressure loss flows in from the bypass air passage 51, mixes with the humidified air in the upper space 52, and is supplied to the room from the air outlet 2 to the suction port 49. Even if the ventilation resistance is increased by attaching the air cleaning filter 50, the air volume of the humidified air supplied to the room is not reduced, and humidification and air cleaning can be effectively performed.

Further, since the large-diameter water droplets contained in the humidified air passing through the air-water separation air passage 17 during mist operation have a larger mass than the fine mist, it is difficult for the air-water separation air passage 17 to rise due to the influence of gravity. , It is easy to adhere to the wall surface below the air-water separation air passage 17 near the water storage chamber 8 and the baffle plates 18b and 18c. Therefore, by forming the bypass inflow port 51 at a position facing the inclined surface P of the baffle plate 18a located at the uppermost part of the air-water separation air passage 17 closest to the air outlet 2, large-diameter water droplets reach the air outlet 2. The amount of guidance is reduced, and it is possible to prevent the vicinity of the air outlet 2 from getting wet due to the dew condensation water and the lower part of the instrument main body 1 from getting wet.

Further, since the air-water separation air passage 17 is installed so as to face vertically upward, large-diameter water droplets adhering to the baffle plate 18 fall from the end of the baffle plate 18 and flow into the water storage chamber 8, so that the instrument main body 1 Water does not leak from the exterior of the fixture, and the installation surface of the appliance main body 1 can be prevented from getting wet.

As described above, by forming the bypass inflow port 51 on the side surface of the air-water separation air passage 17 connecting the water storage chamber 8 and the upper space 52, the air flowing in the air passage 15 by the air blow fan 14 during mist operation. The humidified air that is divided into the water storage chamber inlet 16 and the bypass inlet 51, passes through the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17, and the air that has flowed in from the bypass inlet 51 are mixed in the upper space 52 and blown. Since the air is blown into the room from the port 2, even if there is an increase in ventilation resistance due to the installation of the air purification filter 50 in the suction port 49 and a pressure loss caused by passing through the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17. Since the air volume of the humidified air supplied from the air outlet 2 to the room does not decrease, the indoor humidity is quickly improved and the air is effectively cleaned.

Further, the bypass inflow port 51 is formed on the side wall of the baffle plate 18a located at the uppermost stage of the air-water separation air passage 17 closest to the air outlet 2 at a position facing the inclined surface P, so that the air flows in from the bypass inflow port 51. Since it is possible to reduce the amount of large-diameter water droplets floating in the air-water separation air passage 17 carried to the air outlet 2 by the air, dew condensation water adheres to the vicinity of the air outlet 2 during mist operation, and the instrument body 1 It is possible to prevent the situation where the installation surface gets wet.

In the present embodiment, the description describes that the bypass inflow port 51 is formed on the side wall surface of the air-water separation air passage 17, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the upper part allows air to flow from the air passage path 15 into the upper space 52. A through hole is formed at an appropriate position on the lower surface of the space 52, and the air flowing in the ventilation path 15 during mist operation is divided into the water storage chamber 8 and the upper space 52, respectively, and the humidified air passing through the air-water separation air passage 17 is used. The air that has passed through the bypass inlet 51 may be mixed in the upper space 52 and blown from the air outlet 2, that is, by passing through the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17. If the configuration is such that the air is mixed with the humidified air without being affected by the pressure loss and the amount of air blown from the air outlet 2 is increased, the position of forming the flow path that bypasses the water storage chamber 8 and the air-water separation air passage 17 is particularly specified. do not do.

Further, in the present embodiment, the baffle plate 18 has been described as the air-water separation means, but the present invention is not limited to this, and fine water droplets are separated while separating the large-diameter water droplets flowing in the air-water separation air passage 17. Any configuration may be sufficient as long as the contained humidified air can be blown to the air outlet 2. For example, fine water droplets may be formed by installing a plurality of net-like plates or plates having punch holes in the air-water separation air passage 17. It suffices as long as it has a structure capable of separating large-diameter water droplets while ensuring ventilation so that the contained humidified air can flow.

Further, the other configurations used in the present embodiment are presented as an example, and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention, and can be implemented in various other embodiments. Various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of. These embodiments and variations thereof are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are also included in the scope of the invention described in the claims and the equivalent scope thereof.
