以下、この発明の実施の形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。
実施の形態１．
この発明の実施の形態１に係る空気清浄装置の全体の斜視図を図１に示す。空気清浄装置１は、円筒状のメッシュ部材２と、メッシュ部材２に収容された炭部材である炭素粒子３と、メッシュ部材２の内部に鉛直方向に延びるように形成された円柱形状の空間４に設けられた発熱体であるニクロム線５とを備えている。ニクロム線５は、電線６を介して、電源７に接続されている。 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of the entire air cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The air cleaning device 1 includes a cylindrical mesh member 2, carbon particles 3 that are charcoal members accommodated in the mesh member 2, and a columnar space 4 that is formed inside the mesh member 2 so as to extend in the vertical direction. And a nichrome wire 5 that is a heating element. The nichrome wire 5 is connected to a power source 7 via an electric wire 6.

メッシュ部材２は、内面部２ａ及び外面部２ｂのそれぞれの下端部同士を接続するように設けられた底面部２ｃによって下端が閉じると共に、内面部２ａの上端と外面部２ｂの上端との間は開口した形状を有している。これら内面部２ａと外面部２ｂと底面部２ｃとによって画定された収容部８内に、炭素粒子３が収容されている。尚、炭素粒子３の代わりに、メッシュ部材２のメッシュの大きさに応じた炭素粉末や炭素の小片（塊）あるいはこれらの混合物、さらには炭を含むこれらと同様の形状のものを収容してもよい。また、メッシュ部材２の形状は円筒形状でなくてもよく、内部に鉛直方向に延びる空間４を有していれば、多角柱形状であってもよい。さらに、空間４の形状も円柱形状に限定するものではなく、多角柱形状であってもよい。   The mesh member 2 is closed at the bottom by a bottom surface 2c provided to connect the lower ends of the inner surface 2a and the outer surface 2b, and between the upper end of the inner surface 2a and the upper end of the outer surface 2b. It has an open shape. The carbon particles 3 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 8 defined by the inner surface portion 2a, the outer surface portion 2b, and the bottom surface portion 2c. In place of the carbon particles 3, carbon powder corresponding to the size of the mesh of the mesh member 2, carbon pieces (lumps) or a mixture thereof, and those having the same shape as those containing charcoal are accommodated. Also good. Moreover, the shape of the mesh member 2 does not need to be a cylindrical shape, and may be a polygonal column shape as long as it has a space 4 extending in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the shape of the space 4 is not limited to a cylindrical shape, and may be a polygonal column shape.

次に、実施の形態１に係る空気清浄装置の動作を、図１及び２に基づいて説明する。
電源７によってニクロム線５に電圧をかけると、ニクロム線５が発熱することにより、空間４内の空気が暖まり、空間４内で空気の上昇気流が発生する。すると、メッシュ部材２の外部の空気、すなわち、メッシュ部材２に対して空気の上昇気流と反対側の空気が吸引され、メッシュ部材２の収容部８内に収容された炭素粒子３を通過して空間４内に入り込む。空気が炭素粒子３を通過する際に、炭素粒子３の吸着性能により、空気中に含まれる汚染物質が除去されて、浄化された空気が空間４内に入り込み、上昇気流に乗ってメッシュ部材２の上部の開口から放出される。 Next, the operation of the air cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 1 will be described with reference to FIGS.
When a voltage is applied to the nichrome wire 5 by the power source 7, the nichrome wire 5 generates heat, so that the air in the space 4 is warmed and an upward airflow of air is generated in the space 4. Then, the air outside the mesh member 2, that is, the air on the opposite side of the upward air flow of the air is sucked into the mesh member 2 and passes through the carbon particles 3 accommodated in the accommodating portion 8 of the mesh member 2. Enter the space 4. When the air passes through the carbon particles 3, due to the adsorption performance of the carbon particles 3, contaminants contained in the air are removed, and the purified air enters the space 4 and rides on the ascending air current to mesh member 2. Is released from the upper opening.

ここで、炭素粒子３に吸着される成分としては、ホルムアルデヒドやトルエン、アンモニア等の有害化学物質や、カビ臭・ペット臭のような空気中に漂う臭い成分等が挙げられる。また、炭素粒子３は、湿度が高い時には湿気を吸着し、逆に湿度が低い時には吸着されている水分を放出して周囲の空気の湿度を調整することもできる。   Here, examples of the components adsorbed on the carbon particles 3 include harmful chemical substances such as formaldehyde, toluene, and ammonia, and odor components drifting in the air such as mold odor and pet odor. The carbon particles 3 can also adjust the humidity of the surrounding air by adsorbing moisture when the humidity is high, and releasing the adsorbed moisture when the humidity is low.

また、炭素粒子３は、メッシュ部材２の収容部８内に収容されているので、炭素粒子３が破過したら、新しい炭素粒子を入れ替えるか、あるいは、破過した炭素粒子３を加熱等で再生し、再利用することができる。   Further, since the carbon particles 3 are accommodated in the accommodating portion 8 of the mesh member 2, when the carbon particles 3 break through, new carbon particles are replaced or the broken carbon particles 3 are regenerated by heating or the like. And can be reused.

このように、ニクロム線５がその周囲の空気を暖めることにより空気の上昇気流を生じさせ、この上昇気流が、炭素粒子３を収容するメッシュ部材２の外側の空気を吸引することにより、炭素粒子３に空気が流通して空気が浄化されるので、小型化かつ低コストで空気清浄効果を向上することができる。   As described above, the nichrome wire 5 warms the surrounding air to generate an air ascending air current, and the ascending air current sucks air outside the mesh member 2 containing the carbon particles 3, thereby Since air flows through 3 and air is purified, the air purifying effect can be improved at a reduced size and at a lower cost.

実施の形態２．
次に、この発明の実施の形態２に係る空気清浄装置について説明する。尚、実施の形態２において、図１及び２の参照符号と同一の符号は、同一又は同様な構成要素であるので、その詳細な説明は省略する。
この発明の実施の形態２に係る空気清浄装置は、実施の形態１に対して、メッシュ部材の形状を変更したものである。 Embodiment 2. FIG.
Next, an air cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention will be described. In the second embodiment, the same reference numerals as those in FIGS. 1 and 2 are the same or similar components, and thus detailed description thereof is omitted.
The air purifying apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention is obtained by changing the shape of the mesh member with respect to Embodiment 1.

この発明の実施の形態２に係る空気清浄装置の全体の斜視図を図３に示す。空気清浄装置１０は、円柱形状を有するコップ状のメッシュ部材１２と、メッシュ部材１２に収容された炭部材である炭素粒子３と、メッシュ部材１２の内部に設けられた発熱体であるニクロム線５と、炭素粒子３がニクロム線５に接触しないようにニクロム線５を覆うカバー部材１１とを備えている。カバー部材１１は、内部に炭素粒子３が入り込むことができない大きさの複数の孔を有し、カバー部材１１の内部と外側との間で空気の出入りができるような構成であることが好ましい。その他の構成は、実施の形態１と同じである。   FIG. 3 shows a perspective view of the entire air cleaning apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The air cleaning device 10 includes a cup-shaped mesh member 12 having a cylindrical shape, carbon particles 3 that are charcoal members housed in the mesh member 12, and a nichrome wire 5 that is a heating element provided inside the mesh member 12. And a cover member 11 that covers the nichrome wire 5 so that the carbon particles 3 do not contact the nichrome wire 5. It is preferable that the cover member 11 has a plurality of holes having a size that prevents the carbon particles 3 from entering the inside thereof and allows air to enter and exit between the inside and the outside of the cover member 11. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

電源７によってニクロム線５に電圧をかけると、ニクロム線５が発熱することによりニクロム線５の周辺の空気が暖まり、図４に示されるように、空気の上昇気流となって炭素粒子３間の間隙を上昇する。すると、実施の形態１と同様の原理で、メッシュ部材１２の外部の空気が吸引され、メッシュ部材１２に収容された炭素粒子３を通過しながらメッシュ部材１２内に入り込む。メッシュ部材１２内に入り込んだ空気は、上昇気流に乗ってメッシュ部材２の上部から放出される。この過程で、空気は炭素粒子３を通過するが、この際に、炭素粒子３の吸着性能により、空気中に含まれる汚染物質が除去される。   When a voltage is applied to the nichrome wire 5 by the power source 7, the nichrome wire 5 generates heat to warm the air around the nichrome wire 5, and as shown in FIG. Raise the gap. Then, on the same principle as in the first embodiment, air outside the mesh member 12 is sucked and enters the mesh member 12 while passing through the carbon particles 3 accommodated in the mesh member 12. The air that has entered the mesh member 12 rides on the updraft and is released from the upper part of the mesh member 2. In this process, air passes through the carbon particles 3. At this time, contaminants contained in the air are removed by the adsorption performance of the carbon particles 3.

このように、コップ状のメッシュ部材１２内に炭素粒子３を収容し、炭素粒子３に囲まれるように、メッシュ部材１２の内部にニクロム線５を配置した構成であっても、ニクロム線５によって暖められた空気が上昇気流となって、炭素粒子３間の間隙を上昇することにより、メッシュ部材１２の外部の空気が吸引されるので、実施の形態１と同様の効果を得ることができる。また、カバー部材１１によって炭素粒子３とニクロム線５とが接触しないので、ニクロム線５から発する熱によって炭素粒子３が燃焼することを防止することができる。   Thus, even if it is the structure which has accommodated the carbon particle 3 in the cup-shaped mesh member 12, and has arrange | positioned the nichrome wire 5 inside the mesh member 12 so that it may be surrounded by the carbon particle 3, Since the warmed air becomes an ascending air current and the gap between the carbon particles 3 rises, air outside the mesh member 12 is sucked, so that the same effect as in the first embodiment can be obtained. Moreover, since the carbon particles 3 and the nichrome wire 5 do not contact with each other by the cover member 11, it is possible to prevent the carbon particles 3 from being burned by heat generated from the nichrome wire 5.

実施の形態２では、メッシュ部材１２の形状が円柱形状を有するコップ状であったが、この形態に限定するものではない。炭素粒子３を収納できればどのような形状であってもよく、例えば、多角柱形状を有するコップ形状やお椀状の形状であってもよい。   In the second embodiment, the shape of the mesh member 12 is a cup shape having a columnar shape, but is not limited to this form. Any shape can be used as long as the carbon particles 3 can be accommodated, for example, a cup shape or a bowl shape having a polygonal column shape may be used.

実施の形態１及び２では、発熱体としてニクロム線５を使用したが、熱を発するものであればどのようなものであってもよい。例えば、電球等の照明器であってもよく、照明器を発熱体として用いた場合には、空気清浄装置１及び１０自体を照明器として使用することもできる。   In the first and second embodiments, the nichrome wire 5 is used as the heating element, but it may be anything as long as it generates heat. For example, an illuminator such as a light bulb may be used. When the illuminator is used as a heating element, the air cleaning devices 1 and 10 themselves can be used as the illuminator.

１，１０ 空気清浄装置、３ 炭素粒子（炭部材）、４ 空間、５ ニクロム線（発熱体）、１１ カバー部材。   1,10 air purifier, 3 carbon particles (charcoal member), 4 spaces, 5 nichrome wire (heating element), 11 cover member.
