JPS5947206B2 - automotive humidifier - Google Patents

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a humidifier for automobiles, particularly passenger cars, buses, trucks, and the like.

There are many humidifiers for indoor use on the market, but all of these humidifiers use electric heaters to heat water and generate steam, which naturally causes the indoor temperature to rise. .

Therefore, apart from the winter season, it is not preferable in the summer season (also, there are disadvantages such as a large amount of electricity used and troublesome maintenance required).

Furthermore, to the best of the applicant's knowledge, no humidifier for automobiles has yet been commercially available or proposed, and it is well known that the interior of a car becomes unfavorable during winter heating.

That is, heating not only makes the inside of the car too dry, which is not good for health, but also generates static electricity in interior parts such as synthetic resin sheets, which is extremely unpleasant.

The present invention was made by focusing on the diagonally upward point, and its purpose is to maintain the desired humidity (
To provide an automobile humidifier which can provide a humidifier of 30 to 50%.

Furthermore, another object of the present invention is to significantly reduce maintenance costs compared to conventional humidifiers by using only one small motor without using electric heating, and to make maintenance and inspection easier and safer. To provide a usable humidifier for automobiles.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an automobile humidifier that is suitable for mass production and can be manufactured at low cost.

Next, an embodiment of the present invention capable of achieving the above object will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A is a case body, 1 is a moisture exhaust tube, and 2 is a motor case.The case body a is made into a planar circular shape, a square shape, etc., and the middle part of the moisture exhaust tube 1 is fixed to the center of the upper plate 3. ing.

The motor case 2 is fixed to the center of the moisture exhaust tube 1 with a gap G between it and the moisture exhaust tube 1.

That is, it is fixed via a support plate 4 having a through hole 4a.

An air intake port 5 is bored in the upper plate 3 of the case body a, and a filter 6 is provided under the air intake port 5.

Further, the upper plate 3 is provided with a water supply lower, and a carriage 8 is screwed into this water supply lower.

Reference numeral 9 indicates a small motor, and in the case of an automobile, a motor mounted on the car or driven by a Cl2V battery is used, and is housed in the motor case 2.

Further, the motor case 2 is made to have a well-known watertight structure.

Reference numeral 10 indicates a fan fixed to the motor shaft, and is located at the lower part of the moisture discharge cylinder 1.

b indicates a group of thin tubes, for example, tubes 11 having an inner diameter of 1 to 2 mmφ are arranged vertically in a circular shape with a desired gap between them in a plan view as a whole.

(Note, see FIG. 2) Also, the tubes 11 constituting this thin tube group are arranged so that those located at the periphery are low, and the tubes are successively higher toward the center.

The thus constituted thin tube group is held in the main body case a below the fan 10, with the lower part of each tube 11 separated.

That is, in the illustrated example, the plate 12 having the opening 12a
It is held by a mounting plate 13 via.

Note that water W is shown in the case a, and the liquid level W1 of this water W is rising in the tube 11 due to capillary action.

In the diagonal configuration, the air in the case a is sucked into the moisture exhaust tube 1 by the rotation of the fan 10, and is exhausted from the upper part of the tube. The water in the pipe 11 is also sucked in, and at the same time, the liquid surface W1 is also sucked in by negative pressure, and while passing through the gap G between the moisture discharge tube 1 and the motor case 2, it mixes with air and becomes atomized. That is, it is discharged in the form of mist.

Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, the design of the motor case 2 and the support means for the thin tube group, etc. can be changed as appropriate.

Accordingly, the present invention vertically mounts a moisture discharge tube in the upper part of the case body configured to be able to contain water, and vertically mounts a small motor within the moisture discharge tube with a gap on the circumference side. Air and water are sucked into the bottom of this motor shaft from below.

Install the fan like this;
Since a group of thin tubes consisting of a large number of tubes with an inner diameter of about 1 to 2 mmφ are installed vertically, and the lower part of each tube is separated from the bottom of the case body, the above-mentioned intended purpose can be well achieved. It is something that can be done.

- Brief description of the drawings The drawings show one embodiment of the automotive humidifier according to the present invention,
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal front view, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged plan view of a group of thin tubes.
