Description

本発明は、本体ケースに設けた吸気口より吸引した外気をフィルタを通して浄化した後排気口より放出する空気清浄機に関する。   The present invention relates to an air purifier that purifies outside air sucked from an intake port provided in a main body case through a filter and then discharges it from an exhaust port.

空気清浄機は、本体ケースの内部に送風機とフィルタを配設し、送風機の駆動により本体ケースの前面に設けた吸気口より外気を吸引してフィルタに通し、外気中に含まれる塵埃を除去したり臭い成分を脱臭して浄化し、浄化した外気を排気口より放出するのが一般的に知られている。 (例えば、特許文献１参照)。
特開２００２−７９０１８号公報 The air cleaner has a blower and a filter inside the main body case, and draws out the outside air from the air inlet provided on the front of the main body case by driving the blower and passes it through the filter to remove dust contained in the outside air. It is generally known to deodorize and purify odorous components and discharge the purified outside air from the exhaust port. (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
JP 2002-79018 A

かかる空気清浄機において、集塵や脱臭性能を向上させるためには、フィルタの厚みを厚くしたり、フィルタに目の細かい高性能フィルタを採用する必要があり、その結果フィルタにおける圧力損失が増大するので、それに打ち勝つ風量を得るために送風機を大型にする必要があり、自ずと本体の厚みが増して設置面積が増大するという問題があった。   In such an air purifier, in order to improve dust collection and deodorization performance, it is necessary to increase the thickness of the filter or to adopt a fine high-performance filter for the filter, resulting in an increase in pressure loss in the filter. Therefore, in order to obtain an air volume that can overcome it, it is necessary to increase the size of the blower, which naturally increases the thickness of the main body and increases the installation area.

本発明の目的は、本体の厚みを増すことなく、空気浄化能力を向上できる空気清浄機を提供することである。   An object of the present invention is to provide an air purifier capable of improving the air purification capability without increasing the thickness of the main body.

上記課題を解決するために本発明は、本体ケース内の上下に夫々配設された送風機と、各送風機に夫々対応するよう本体ケースの前面に設けられた吸気口と、前記各送風機の駆動により前記吸気口より吸引された外気を通して浄化するフィルタと、浄化した外気を本体ケース外に放出する排気口とを具え、上側の送風機により吸引され浄化された外気の前記排気口は、本体ケースの上面に設け、下側の送風機により吸引され浄化された外気の前記排気口は、本体ケースの左右両側面の少なくとも一方に設けたものである。   In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention provides a blower disposed above and below in the main body case, an intake port provided on the front surface of the main body case so as to correspond to each of the blowers, and driving of the respective blowers. The exhaust port of the outside air sucked and purified by the upper blower includes a filter for purifying through the outside air sucked from the intake port and an exhaust port for discharging the purified outside air to the outside of the body case. The exhaust port for the outside air that is sucked and purified by the lower blower is provided on at least one of the left and right side surfaces of the main body case.

具体的には前記フィルタは、上側の送風機により対応する上側フィルタと、下側送風機に対応する下側フィルタとからなり、上側フィルタの方を下側フィルタに比べて目の細かいフィルタとしたものである。   Specifically, the filter includes an upper filter corresponding to the upper fan and a lower filter corresponding to the lower fan, and the upper filter is a finer filter than the lower filter. is there.

また、前記上側送風機と下側送風機は、夫々独立して回転制御されるものとし、各送風機は、空気の状態に反応するセンサ、例えば空気中に含まれるガス成分に反応するガスセンサや埃成分に反応する埃センサや、湿度に反応する湿度センサの出力に応じて夫々回転を制御されるようにしたものである。   The upper blower and the lower blower are controlled to rotate independently of each other, and each blower is a sensor that reacts to the state of air, for example, a gas sensor that reacts to a gas component contained in the air or a dust component. The rotation is controlled in accordance with the output of the reacting dust sensor and the humidity sensor responding to humidity.

本発明によれば、上下２個の夫々の送風機により外気を吸引してフィルタにより浄化しているので、上側の送風機は主として室内に浮遊している細かい塵埃や臭い成分を吸引し、下側の送風機は主として床から舞い上がる比較的大きな塵埃や花粉などを吸引して浄化するので、室内の空気の汚れを汚れの原因にかかわらず効率よく除去することができる。しかも上下に送風機を配設しているので、本体の厚みを増すことなく薄型化が可能になる。   According to the present invention, since the outside air is sucked by the two upper and lower fans and purified by the filter, the upper fan mainly sucks fine dust and odor components floating in the room, and the lower fan. Since the blower mainly purifies by sucking relatively large dust or pollen that soars from the floor, it is possible to efficiently remove indoor air dirt regardless of the cause of the dirt. In addition, since the blowers are arranged at the top and bottom, the thickness can be reduced without increasing the thickness of the main body.

さらに、上側の送風機で吸引され浄化された空気は、本体ケースの上面から放出され、下側の送風機で吸引され浄化された空気は、本体ケースの左右両側面の少なくとも一方から放出されるようにしているので、全体として部屋の空気を包み込むような気流を発生して部屋の隅々までの空気の流れが良好になり、部屋全体の空気を効果的に浄化することが可能になる。   Further, the air sucked and purified by the upper fan is discharged from the upper surface of the main body case, and the air sucked and purified by the lower fan is discharged from at least one of the left and right side surfaces of the main body case. Therefore, an air flow that envelops the air in the room as a whole is generated, and the air flow to every corner of the room becomes good, and the air in the entire room can be effectively purified.

また、上側の送風機により対応する上側フィルタの方を、下側送風機に対応する下側フィルタに比べて目の細かいフィルタとすれば、室内に浮遊している細かい塵埃や臭い成分を目の細かい上側のフィルタで効率よく除去できる。下側のフィルタは、比較的大きな塵埃を除去するため上側に比べて目を細かくしなくともよく、フィルタによる圧力損失を最小限に抑えることができる。   If the upper filter corresponding to the upper fan is a finer filter than the lower filter corresponding to the lower fan, the fine dust and odor components floating in the room are The filter can be removed efficiently. The lower filter does not need to be finer than the upper filter to remove relatively large dust, and pressure loss due to the filter can be minimized.

また、上側送風機と下側送風機は、夫々独立して回転制御され、各送風機は、空気の状態に反応するセンサ、例えば空気中に含まれるガス成分に反応するガスセンサや埃成分に反応する埃センサの出力に応じて夫々の回転を制御すれば、空気の汚れの状況に相応しい運転を行うことができる。例えば、ガスセンサの反応が埃センサの反応よりも大きい場合、煙草の煙等に起因する小さな埃が大きな埃よりも多いと判断して、上側の送風機の回転数の方を高くして部屋の上部を浮遊している小さな埃を効率的に除去し、反対に、埃センサの反応がガスセンサの反応よりも大きい場合、大きな埃が小さな埃よりも多いと判断して、下側の送風機の回転数の方を高くして部屋の下方を漂っている大きな埃を効率的に除去する等、空気の汚れの状況に相応しい運転が可能になる。   The upper blower and the lower blower are independently rotationally controlled, and each blower is a sensor that reacts to the air state, for example, a gas sensor that reacts to a gas component contained in the air or a dust sensor that reacts to a dust component. By controlling the respective rotations according to the output of the air, it is possible to perform an operation suitable for the situation of air contamination. For example, if the response of the gas sensor is greater than the response of the dust sensor, it is determined that there is more small dust due to cigarette smoke, etc. than the large dust, and the upper fan speed is increased to increase the upper part of the room. If the dust sensor response is larger than the gas sensor response, it is judged that the large dust is more than the small dust, and the lower fan speed is reduced. It is possible to drive appropriately for the situation of air pollution, such as efficiently removing large dust drifting below the room by raising the height of the side.

さらに湿度センサにより部屋の湿度を検知して、湿度が高いときは、埃の舞い上がりが少ないとみて下側の送風機の回転数を上側の送風機よりも高くして、部屋の下方を漂っている埃を効率的に除去し、反対に湿度が低いときは、埃の舞い上がり多いとみて、上側の送風機の回転数を下側の送風機よりも高くして、部屋の上部を浮遊している埃を効果的に除去するなど、湿度の状況に相応しい運転が可能になる。   Furthermore, when the humidity of the room is detected by the humidity sensor and the humidity is high, it is assumed that there is little dust rise, and the lower fan is set to a higher rotational speed than the upper fan, and the dust drifts below the room. When the humidity is low, on the other hand, the dust rises more, so the upper fan speed is higher than the lower fan, and the dust floating above the room is effective. The operation suitable for the humidity condition becomes possible.

以下、本発明を、図１乃至図４に基づき説明する。空気清浄機の本体ケース１は、上面、底面、左右両側面、後面からなるケース本体２と、ケース本体２の前面開放部を塞ぐ前面板３と、前面板３の中央上部からケース本体２の上面にかけて取り付けられた操作板４から構成される。本体ケース１内は、仕切板５により前後に区画される。仕切板５で区画された後方の空間には、上下に夫々送風機６、７が配設される。各送風機６、７は、夫々モータ８、９と各モータにより駆動されるファン１０、１１とから構成される。各ファン１０、１１はシロッコファンより構成される。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. The main body case 1 of the air purifier includes a case main body 2 composed of an upper surface, a bottom surface, left and right side surfaces, and a rear surface, a front plate 3 that closes the front opening of the case main body 2, It is comprised from the operation board 4 attached over the upper surface. The inside of the main body case 1 is divided forward and backward by a partition plate 5. In the rear space partitioned by the partition plate 5, blowers 6 and 7 are arranged above and below, respectively. Each of the blowers 6 and 7 includes motors 8 and 9 and fans 10 and 11 driven by the motors, respectively. Each of the fans 10 and 11 is composed of a sirocco fan.

仕切板５で区画された前方の空間には、前記各送風機６、７と対応するように、上側フィルタ１２と下側フィルタ１３が配設されている。上側フィルタ１２は下側フィルタ１３に比べて目の細かいフィルタにすることが望ましい。前面板３には、上部から下部に至る複数の縦長スリットからなる吸気口１４が形成されている。   An upper filter 12 and a lower filter 13 are disposed in the front space partitioned by the partition plate 5 so as to correspond to the blowers 6 and 7. The upper filter 12 is preferably a finer filter than the lower filter 13. The front plate 3 is formed with an intake port 14 composed of a plurality of vertically long slits extending from the upper part to the lower part.

上下の送風機６、７の各ファン１０、１１の周囲は、夫々図１の如く渦巻状のファンケーシング１５、１６で囲まれている。各ファンケーシング１５、１６は、前記仕切板５より一体成型されている。上側のファンケーシング１５の吐出通路１７は上側に開口して、本体ケース１の上面に設けた格子状の排気口１８に連通している。下側のファンケーシング１６の吐出通路１９は、左右対称的に２箇所に形成され、各吐出口１９、１９は、本体ケース１の左右側面に設けた格子状の排気口２０、２０に連通している。   The periphery of each of the fans 10 and 11 of the upper and lower blowers 6 and 7 is surrounded by spiral fan casings 15 and 16 as shown in FIG. The fan casings 15 and 16 are integrally molded from the partition plate 5. The discharge passage 17 of the upper fan casing 15 opens upward and communicates with a lattice-shaped exhaust port 18 provided on the upper surface of the main body case 1. The discharge passages 19 of the lower fan casing 16 are symmetrically formed at two locations, and the discharge ports 19, 19 communicate with lattice-shaped exhaust ports 20, 20 provided on the left and right side surfaces of the main body case 1. ing.

かかる構成において、各送風機６、７を駆動すると、上側の送風機６へは吸気口１４より上側フィルタ１２を通って外気が吸引され、上側フィルタ１２で塵埃が除去され浄化された外気は、本体ケース上面の排気口１８より室内に放出される。また下側の送風機７へは吸気口１４より下側フィルタ１３を通って外気が吸引され、下側フィルタ１３で塵埃が除去され浄化された外気は、本体ケースの左右両側面の排気口２０、２０より室内に放出される。   In such a configuration, when each blower 6, 7 is driven, outside air is sucked into the upper blower 6 through the upper filter 12 from the intake port 14, and the outside air whose dust is removed and purified by the upper filter 12 is stored in the main body case. It is discharged into the room through the exhaust port 18 on the upper surface. Also, outside air is sucked into the lower blower 7 through the lower filter 13 from the intake port 14, and the outside air that has been cleaned by removing dust with the lower filter 13 is discharged into the exhaust ports 20 on the left and right side surfaces of the main body case, 20 is released into the room.

このように上下のフィルタ１２、１３で浄化された空気は、上方向と左右方向に放出されるので、空気清浄機を例えば図４のように部屋の壁に沿って設置した場合、矢印のような室内の汚れた空気を包み込むような気流を発生する。そのため部屋の隅々までの空気の流れが良好になり、部屋全体の空気を効率よく循環でき、空気の汚れを効果的に除去することができる。   Since the air purified by the upper and lower filters 12 and 13 is discharged in the upward and leftward and rightward directions, when the air cleaner is installed along the wall of the room as shown in FIG. It generates an air flow that envelops dirty air in a room. Therefore, the air flow to every corner of the room becomes good, the air in the whole room can be circulated efficiently, and the dirt of the air can be effectively removed.

ここで室内の空気の汚れに着目すると、小さな塵埃や臭い成分は室内の上側に浮遊しやすく、大きな塵埃は室内底部の床面付近に漂いやすいので、上側の送風機６は主として室内に浮遊している細かい塵埃や臭い成分を吸引して上側フィルタ１２で浄化し、下側の送風機７は主として床面付近を漂う比較的大きな塵埃や花粉などを吸引して下側フィルタ１３で浄化するので、室内の空気の汚れの原因を効率よく除去することができる。しかも上下に送風機６、７を配設しているので、本体ケース１の厚みを増すことはない。   Focusing on indoor air pollution, small dust and odor components tend to float on the upper side of the room, and large dust tends to float near the floor at the bottom of the room. The fine dust and odor components that are present are sucked and purified by the upper filter 12, and the lower blower 7 mainly sucks relatively large dust or pollen drifting near the floor surface and purifies by the lower filter 13, so The cause of air pollution can be efficiently removed. Moreover, since the blowers 6 and 7 are arranged above and below, the thickness of the main body case 1 is not increased.

室内の空気の汚れの原因を一層効率よく除去するためには、上側フィルタ１２を下側フィルタ１３に比べて目の細かいフィルタを用いたり、図５のように、上側フィルタ１２として目の細かい高性能フィルタ２１や脱臭フィルタ２２を用い、下側フィルタ１３として目の粗いフィルタ２３や花粉専用のフィルタ２４を用いれば、一層効果的に空気の汚れを除去できる。また上側のみ高性能フィルタ２１を用いて下側は目の粗いフィルタ２３を用いることにより、フィルタによる圧力損失を最小限に抑えることができる。   In order to more efficiently remove the cause of indoor air contamination, the upper filter 12 may be a finer filter than the lower filter 13, or the upper filter 12 as shown in FIG. If the performance filter 21 or the deodorizing filter 22 is used, and the coarse filter 23 or the pollen-only filter 24 is used as the lower filter 13, the dirt of air can be more effectively removed. Further, by using the high-performance filter 21 only on the upper side and the coarse filter 23 on the lower side, the pressure loss due to the filter can be minimized.

以上の実施例では、下側送風機７の排気口２０、２０を左右両側に設けたが、空気清浄機を部屋の隅に置く専用のものでは、どちらか一方の排気口は部屋の壁に塞がれるので、その場合は排気口は左右のいずれか一方にあればよい。
また空気の汚れ状態を検知するセンサを用いて、上下の送風機６、７をセンサの出力に応じて運転制御することもできる。その一例として、図１に点線で示すように、空気清浄機の上部にガス成分に反応するガスセンサ２５を設け、下部に埃成分に反応する埃センサ２６を用いて制御することが考えられる。 In the above embodiment, the exhaust ports 20 and 20 of the lower blower 7 are provided on both the left and right sides. However, in the case of the exclusive one in which the air purifier is placed at the corner of the room, one of the exhaust ports is blocked by the wall of the room. In this case, the exhaust port may be on either the left or right side.
In addition, the upper and lower fans 6 and 7 can be controlled to operate according to the output of the sensor by using a sensor that detects a dirty state of air. As an example, as shown by a dotted line in FIG. 1, it is conceivable to control by using a gas sensor 25 that reacts to a gas component at the top of the air cleaner and a dust sensor 26 that reacts to a dust component at the bottom.

煙草の煙等のガス成分は室内に浮遊しやすく、埃成分は床面に落ちて舞い上がりやすいので、上部にガスセンサ２５を、下部に埃センサ２６を設け、両センサ２５、２６の反応を比較して、ガスセンサの反応の方が強ければ、上側送風機６の回転数の方を下側送風機７より高くして、上側フィルタ１２により、煙草の煙などに起因して浮遊している微少な塵埃や臭い成分を重点的に除去する様にし、反対に埃センサ２６の反応の方が強ければ、下側送風機７の回転数の方を上側送風機６より高く、床面に落ちて舞い上がった埃を下側フィルタ１３により重点的に除去するようにすれば、汚れの原因を効果的に除去し、空気の汚れの状況に相応しい運転が可能になる。   Gas components such as cigarette smoke are likely to float in the room, and dust components are likely to fall down on the floor, so a gas sensor 25 is provided at the top and a dust sensor 26 is provided at the bottom, and the reactions of both sensors 25 and 26 are compared. If the response of the gas sensor is stronger, the rotational speed of the upper blower 6 is set higher than that of the lower blower 7, and the upper filter 12 causes the minute dust or the like floating due to cigarette smoke or the like. If the odor component is removed intensively, and if the response of the dust sensor 26 is stronger, the rotational speed of the lower blower 7 is higher than that of the upper blower 6, and the dust that has fallen to the floor is lowered. If the side filter 13 is used for intensive removal, it is possible to effectively remove the cause of dirt and to perform an operation suitable for the situation of air dirt.

またセンサとして湿度センサを用いて部屋の湿度を検知し、湿度が高いときは、埃の舞い上がりが少ないとみて下側の送風機７の回転数を上側の送風機６よりも高くし、反対に湿度が低いときは、埃の舞い上がり多いとみて、上側の送風機６の回転数を下側の送風機７よりも高くすることも可能で、湿度の状況に相応しい運転ができる。   Further, the humidity of the room is detected by using a humidity sensor as a sensor. When the humidity is high, it is considered that there is little dust rising, and the rotational speed of the lower blower 7 is set higher than that of the upper blower 6. When it is low, the dust blows up so much that the rotational speed of the upper blower 6 can be made higher than that of the lower blower 7, and an operation suitable for the humidity condition can be performed.

なお実施例では、上下の送風機６、７に対応する吸気口１４を、上下に延びる複数のスリットで形成したが、このスリットの中央部を塞いで、吸気口を上側送風機用吸気口と下側送風機用吸気口とに分離してもよいことは勿論である   In the embodiment, the intake ports 14 corresponding to the upper and lower blowers 6 and 7 are formed by a plurality of slits extending vertically, but the central portion of the slits is closed, and the intake ports are connected to the upper blower intake port and the lower side. Of course, it may be separated from the air inlet for the blower.
