Detailed Description
The liquid micronizing device according to claim 1 of the present invention includes a suction port for introducing air and a discharge port for discharging air. The liquid refining apparatus is provided with: a water storage part; a liquid micronizing portion which is disposed so as to be covered by the hollow inner tube and which refines the liquid in the water storage portion; and a plurality of water guide ribs located from the lower end of the inner tube to the water storage part. The air passing through the liquid micronizing device sequentially passes through the suction inlet, an inner cylinder air path communicated with the suction inlet in the inner cylinder, a liquid micronizing part arranged on the inner cylinder air path, a vent for communicating the inner cylinder air path with an outer cylinder air path arranged on the periphery of the inner cylinder air path, between adjacent water guide ribs, the outer cylinder air path and a blowing outlet communicated with the outer cylinder air path. Further, a suction port, a liquid-made fine portion, a ventilation port, and a water guide rib are disposed in this order from the top in the vertical direction. The air passing through the outer tube air passage is transported upward in the vertical direction.
With this configuration, the air sucked from the suction port can be sent into the inner tube, pass around the liquid-made portion arranged so as to be covered by the hollow inner tube, and reach the outer tube air passage through the vent arranged below the liquid-made portion. This can improve the contact efficiency between the air sucked from the suction port and the water droplets generated by the liquid refining section, and can improve the vaporization efficiency of the water droplets.
In addition, the air sucked from the suction port can be passed through the inner tube duct downward in the vertical direction and then passed through the vent hole upward in the vertical direction and then passed through the outer tube duct, whereby large-sized water droplets which are difficult to vaporize can be separated. That is, the water droplets generated by the liquid refining portion are scattered downward together with the air flowing downward in the inner tube air passage, and blown downward at the vent. Here, when the air passes through the vent hole, the air passing through the outer tube air passage is conveyed upward in the vertical direction, and thus the air blowing direction is reversed. At this time, the water droplets collide with the wall surface of the outer tube air duct due to inertia caused by weight, and are trapped by the wall surface of the outer tube air duct. In this way, large-sized water droplets that are difficult to vaporize can be captured on the wall surface of the outer tube air duct, and large-sized water droplets that are difficult to vaporize can be separated.
Further, by disposing the liquid-made fine portion so as to be covered with the inner tube, the water droplets generated by the liquid-made fine portion can be made to adhere to the inner surface of the inner tube to suppress scattering toward the outside of the inner tube, and therefore, the water droplets can be suppressed from being scattered again from the ventilation opening of the inner tube by receiving wind pressure. As a result, the release of water droplets generated by the liquid refining section into the living room can be suppressed.
Further, by disposing a plurality of water guide ribs extending from the lower end of the inner tube to the water storage portion, water that has adhered to and fallen down the inner wall of the inner tube can be allowed to fall down along the water guide ribs to the water storage portion. This can suppress water adhering to the inner wall of the inner tube from being blown by the air pressure of the air flowing from the inner tube to the outer tube through the ventilation opening, and the water droplets are formed again into large droplets and are scattered from the lower end of the inner tube.
Further, in the liquid reducing device according to claim 2 of the present invention, the suction port is disposed on a side surface of the inner tube, and the blowout port is disposed above the suction port in a vertical direction.
With this configuration, when the air containing the water droplets generated by the liquid refining portion passes through the outer tube air passage, the distance for vaporizing the water droplets can be sufficiently obtained. This can enhance the vaporization efficiency of the water droplets, and suppress the release of the water droplets into the living room.
The outer tube air passage of the liquid reducing device according to claim 3 of the present invention may be formed so as to extend from the vent hole to a position above the vertical direction of the inner tube air passage, wherein an air passage expansion portion having a larger opening cross-sectional area than the outer tube air passage is provided above the vertical direction of the outer tube air passage, an air passage expansion portion is formed above the vertical direction of the suction port, and an air outlet is formed above the vertical direction of the air passage expansion portion.
With this structure, the air velocity can be reduced when the air containing the water droplets generated by the liquid refining section passes through the outer cylinder air passage from the inner cylinder air passage, so that separation of the water droplets generated by gravity can be promoted. In addition, the air passage cross-sectional area is rapidly enlarged from the outer cylinder air passage to the air passage of the air passage enlarged portion having a large air passage cross-sectional area, so that a vortex of the air flow can be generated to promote mixing of the water droplets and the air, thereby improving the vaporization efficiency of the water droplets.
The air passage expansion portion of the liquid crystal device according to claim 4 of the present invention may further include an air passage expansion portion top panel provided with a plurality of air outlets in a vertical direction.
With this structure, the air flowing into the air passage expansion portion collides with the air passage expansion portion ceiling panel to rapidly reduce the wind speed, and a part of the air flows in the air passage expansion portion so as to swirl around. Then, by the reduction of the wind speed of the wind path expansion portion and the swirl of the airflow, the mixing of the water droplets and the air can be promoted, and the vaporization of the water droplets can be promoted.
The liquid refining unit of the liquid refining apparatus according to claim 5 of the present invention may further include a rotary plate that is rotated to refine the liquid in the water storage unit and release the liquid into the inner tube air passage, and the rotary plate may be disposed near the lower end of the inner tube.
With this configuration, the amount of water released from the rotating plate of the liquid reduction portion and adhering to the inner cylinder wall surface without vaporization can be suppressed to a minimum. This reduces the amount of water that adheres to the inner wall of the inner tube and that is scattered as water droplets that are re-large particles by receiving the wind pressure of the air flowing from the inner tube to the outer tube through the ventilation opening.
Further, in the aspect 6 of the present invention, a ventilator including the liquid micronizing device described in any one of the aspects 1 to 5 may be provided.
As one of the functions of the ventilator, a liquid micronizing device for humidification purposes is assembled. By using the liquid refining apparatus as the means for vaporizing the water droplets, it is possible to provide a ventilation apparatus that suppresses release of the water droplets into the living room and further improves comfort of occupants.
In addition, in the aspect 7 of the present invention, there may be provided an air cleaner including the liquid refining apparatus described in any one of the aspects 1 to 5.
As one of the functions of the air cleaner, a liquid micronizing device for humidification purposes and a device for vaporizing water droplets, such as a hypochlorous acid generating device, for sterilization purposes are incorporated. By using the liquid refining apparatus as the mechanism for vaporizing water droplets, it is possible to provide an air cleaner that suppresses release of water droplets into a living room and further improves comfort for occupants.
In addition, in claim 8 of the present invention, there is provided an air conditioner including the liquid micronizing device according to any one of claims 1 to 5.
As one of the functions of the air conditioner, a liquid micronizing device for humidification purposes and a device for vaporizing water droplets, such as a hypochlorous acid generating device, for sterilization purposes are incorporated. By using the liquid refining apparatus as the mechanism for vaporizing the water droplets as described above, it is possible to provide an air conditioner that suppresses release of the water droplets into the living room and further improves comfort for occupants.

On the larger diameter side of the dip tube 18, the dip tube 18 is provided with a plurality of openings on its side so that the water drawn is supplied to the rotating plate 19 through the openings.
The liquid refining portion 17 is provided in the inner tube 5 at a position covered with the inner tube 5. In the embodiment, the rotating plate 19 of the liquid refining unit 17 is disposed near the lower end of the inner tube 5.
Further, a columnar water guide rib 21 connected to the vent 8 and protruding downward from the vent 8 is provided below the lower end of the inner tube 5. The water guide rib 21 is provided with a plurality of water guide ribs. The end of the water guide rib 21 is provided at the outer edge of the vent 8. The water guide rib 21 is formed so as to extend downward from the outer edge of the vent 8 toward the center of the liquid level-reducing device 1. The water guide rib 21 is provided so that the lower end thereof is positioned below the water surface 23 where the liquid reservoir 11 is stored. In other words, the water guide rib 21 is arranged to be located from the lower end of the inner tube 5 to the liquid reservoir 11.
The operation will be described below.
First, water is supplied from a water supply device (not shown) to the reservoir (water storage) 11 through the water supply port 12, and the water is stored in the reservoir 11. Then, the air sucked into the liquid reducing device 1 from the suction port 2 by an air blowing device, not shown, passes through the inner cylinder air passage 4, the liquid reducing portion 17, the ventilation opening 8, between the adjacent water guide ribs 21, the outer cylinder air passage 9, and the air passage enlarging portion 15 in this order, and is blown out from the air outlet 3 to the outside, for example, a living room. At this time, the water droplets generated by the liquid refining unit 17 contact with the air, and the water droplets are gasified, so that the air can be humidified. The water stored in the liquid storage portion 11 is discharged from the water discharge port 13 after a predetermined time has elapsed.
The detailed operation thereof will be described. The air introduced from the suction port 2 into the inner tube 5 of the inner tube duct 4 via the suction communication duct 7 passes through the liquid micronizing portion 17 provided at a position covered with the inner tube 5. When the liquid refining unit 17 rotates due to the operation of the motor 20, the water stored in the liquid storage unit 11 rises along the inner wall surface of the dip tube 18 due to the rotation. The water after rising is pulled along the surface of the rotating plate 19, and is released from the outer peripheral end of the rotating plate 19 toward the rotating surface as fine water droplets. The released water droplets collide with the inner wall surface of the inner tube 5 and break up into finer water droplets. The water droplets released from the rotary plate 19 and the water droplets broken by collision with the inner wall surface of the inner tube 5 are vaporized by contact with the air passing through the inner tube 5, and the air is humidified. In addition, although some of the generated water droplets are not gasified, since the liquid-made fine portion 17 is disposed so as to be covered with the inner tube 5, the water droplets that are not gasified adhere to the inner surface of the inner tube 5 and fall down.
Then, the air containing the water droplets is blown out from the vent 8 provided at the lower end of the inner tube 5 toward the liquid reservoir 11 provided below. Then, the air blown out from the vent 8 passes between the adjacent water guide ribs 21 and flows toward the outer cylinder air passage 9 formed between the inner cylinder 5 and the outer cylinder 10. Since the air passing through the outer cylinder air passage 9 is conveyed upward in the vertical direction, the air flowing downward in the inner cylinder air passage 4 is directed in the opposite direction to the air blowing direction.
At this time, the water droplets blown out from the vent 8 together with the air cannot follow the flow of the air due to the inertia thereof, and adhere to the water surface of the reservoir 11 or the inner wall surface of the outer tube 10. With this action, the larger the weight of the water droplets, the larger the action, that is, the larger the diameter of the water droplets which are difficult to gasify, the larger the action, and therefore the large-sized water droplets can be separated from the flowing air.
Then, the air flowing from the inner tube air passage 4 into the outer tube air passage 9 via the ventilation opening 8 and between the adjacent water guide ribs 21 flows upward through the outer tube air passage 9. And then flows into the air passage enlarging portion 15.
As indicated by a broken line arrow 24 in fig. 2, the air flowing into the air passage expansion portion 15 rapidly decreases in wind speed due to rapid expansion of the air passage and due to collision with the air passage expansion portion top panel 16 of the air passage expansion portion 15. In addition, a part of the air flows in the air passage expansion portion 15 so as to be swirled.
At this time, due to rapid decrease in wind speed and swirl of the airflow, a part of the water droplets falls down due to gravity, another part adheres to the upper surface side of the inner tube top panel 6, and a part adheres to the wall surface or the bottom surface of the air passage expansion portion 15. Then, the water droplets adhering to the inner tube top panel 6 flow along the inclination of the inner tube top panel 6, and fall down along the outer side wall of the inner tube 5 toward the liquid reservoir 11. The water droplets adhering to the wall surface of the air passage expansion portion 15 flow to the bottom surface of the air passage expansion portion 15 by gravity, then flow along the inclination of the bottom surface of the air passage expansion portion 15, flow downward along the inner wall surface of the outer tube 10, and drop down to the liquid reservoir 11.
The wind speed in the wind path enlarging portion 15 decreases, and the vortex of the airflow promotes the mixing of the water droplets with the air, so that the vaporization of the water droplets progresses. Then, the air in which the water droplets are gasified is blown out to the outside of the apparatus, for example, a living room, through the air outlet 3 provided in the air passage expansion portion top panel 16 of the air passage expansion portion 15.
Further, since the liquid refining portion 17 is disposed at a position covered by the inner tube 5, it is possible to suppress water droplets adhering to the inner surface of the inner tube 5 from being scattered again from the ventilation opening 8 of the inner tube due to wind pressure.
Further, in the liquid refining section 17, the rotating plate 19 is disposed near the lower end of the inner tube 5, so that the amount of water released from the rotating plate 19 and adhering to the inner tube 5 without vaporization can be suppressed to the minimum. For example, even if the air volume is large and the air speed passing through the ventilation opening 8 increases, the amount of water droplets falling down along the inner wall of the inner tube 5 and becoming large again due to the air pressure of the passing air and scattering from the ventilation opening 8 can be reduced.
Further, since the water guide rib 21 is provided at the lower end of the inner tube 5, water falling down along the inner wall of the inner tube 5 can be caused to fall down the surface of the water guide rib 21 to the water surface 23, and therefore, re-scattering of water droplets due to wind pressure can be suppressed. Further, since the water guide rib 21 is provided so as to gather toward the center of the liquid refining apparatus as going downward, water can be guided to a position farther than the outer cylinder wind path and having a small wind speed, and therefore scattering of water droplets from the water guide rib 21 can be suppressed.
The air cleaner 22 may be provided to separate water droplets from air passing through the inner space of the air passage expansion portion 15 by the air cleaner 22. Thus, even when the air volume or the amount of water droplets generated by the liquid refining unit 17 temporarily increases, the release of water droplets from the outlet 3 can be suppressed by the action of the cleaner 22.
As described above, the liquid refining apparatus of the present invention can promote vaporization of water droplets generated by the liquid refining section 17 or enhance the water droplet separation performance.
Further, a ventilator, an air cleaner, and an air conditioner using the liquid micronizing device of the present invention can be configured. Although not shown, the ventilator, the air cleaner, and the air conditioner having the humidifying function can be realized by incorporating the liquid micronizing device of the present invention into the ventilator, the air cleaner, and the air conditioner, and disposing them in a part of the air passage thereof.
Industrial applicability
The liquid refining apparatus of the present invention is expected to be effectively used for a humidifier and a sauna device, in addition to a ventilator, an air cleaner, and an air conditioner, for example.
