Description

本考案は大気圧の利用により電力など動力の必要なく水を供給し、水の毛管現象により水が浸透する親水性素材からなる微細間隙を有するシートから室内空気の乾燥度に応じて水が蒸発することにより、乾燥室内を加湿する加湿器に関する。 The present invention supplies water without the need of power such as electric power by using atmospheric pressure, and water evaporates according to the dryness of room air from a sheet having a fine gap made of a hydrophilic material through which water permeates due to water capillary action. It is related with the humidifier which humidifies a drying chamber by doing.

従来、乾燥室内を加湿する装置は電力などの動力を使い超音波などで水のミストを発生させ室内へ放出する加湿装置がある。 Conventionally, as a device for humidifying a drying chamber, there is a humidifying device that uses power such as electric power to generate a mist of water using ultrasonic waves or the like and discharge it into the chamber.

また、水にぬれたタオルなどの布を室内に吊り下げることによっても室内が加湿されることもよく知られている。 It is also well known that the interior of the room is humidified by hanging a cloth such as a towel wet in the room.

水に湿ったぬれタオルなどはタオルに付着した水が乾燥してしまえば、それ以降乾燥室内を加湿することは出来ない。
また、ミストを発生させて加湿する加湿装置は電力が必要であり、超音波発生器、ミスト放出装置など装置が複雑である。 Wet towels wet with water will not be able to humidify the drying chamber after the water attached to the towel has dried.
In addition, a humidifier that generates mist and humidifies requires electric power, and devices such as an ultrasonic generator and a mist discharge device are complicated.

従来、大気圧を利用して水を供給する装置としては、鳥の水飲み器が知られている。鳥の水飲み器は、水容器の下部に水飲み口が固着されており、その水飲み口から水を補給しなければならず、水がこぼれたりして水の補給が難しい。
Conventionally, a bird drinker is known as a device for supplying water using atmospheric pressure. The bird's drinking device has a drinking mouth fixed to the lower part of the water container, and water must be replenished from the drinking mouth, so that it is difficult to replenish water.

本考案は前記従来技術の問題点を解決すべく、従来技術に比較して操作が容易な大気圧と水の毛管現象を利用した加湿器を提供することである。 In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention is to provide a humidifier using atmospheric pressure and water capillary phenomenon, which is easier to operate than the prior art.

本考案は大気圧と水の毛管現象を利用することにより、前述した技術的課題を解決する為以下のような構成からなる。即ち、開口部を上方に有する水容器の開口部に、ネジなどの水が漏れない接合方法により着脱可能な水入口と直角方向に配置された水出口を有する曲管、及び曲管を接合した水容器を倒立支持する倒立支持具、及び曲管から流出する水を溜める水受器及び、綿布など親水性素材からなる微細間隙を有するシートの下端を水受器内の水に浸し、そのシートの上方を空気中に配置する水蒸発具からなる加湿器である。 The present invention has the following configuration in order to solve the above technical problem by utilizing the atmospheric pressure and the capillary action of water. That is, a curved pipe having a water outlet and a water outlet arranged at right angles to a water inlet that can be attached and detached by a joining method that does not leak water, such as screws, and the curved pipe are joined to the opening of the water container having the opening above. An inverted support device for supporting the water container upside down, a water receiver for collecting water flowing out from the curved pipe, and a sheet having a fine gap made of a hydrophilic material such as cotton cloth, the lower end of the sheet is immersed in the water in the water receiver. It is a humidifier which consists of a water evaporation tool arrange | positioned in the air above.

水容器はペットボトル等のプラスティック容器、ガラス瓶等その内部の水の量が外部から目視で分る上部に開口部を有する容器であり、開口部はネジ等の接合手段で曲管と着脱可能な構造を有するものである。 A water container is a plastic container such as a plastic bottle, a glass bottle or the like that has an opening in the upper part where the amount of water inside can be visually recognized from the outside, and the opening can be attached to and detached from the bent tube by means of a screw or other joining means. It has a structure.

曲管はネジ等の接合手段で水容器に着脱可能で水入口と水出口が直角方向に配置されたものである。 The bent pipe is detachable from the water container by means of joining means such as screws, and the water inlet and the water outlet are arranged in a perpendicular direction.

倒立支持具は、曲管を接合した水容器をバンド等の固定具により固定する支柱とその支柱を垂直に立てる支持台からなる。又、倒立支持具は水が入った曲管付水容器を倒立支持する強度と構造を有するものである。 The inverted support tool is composed of a support for fixing the water container joined with the curved pipe with a fixing tool such as a band, and a support stand for vertically setting the support. Further, the inverted support tool has strength and structure for supporting the water container with a bent tube containing water in an inverted manner.

水受器は曲管の水出口が水封可能な深さであり、その内部の水の表面が大気に接する構造であればよい。 The water receiver has a depth that allows the water outlet of the curved pipe to be sealed with water, and the surface of the water inside the water receiver may be in contact with the atmosphere.

水蒸発具は綿布など水の毛管現象により水が浸透する親水性素材からなる微細間隙を有するシートの下端を水受器内の水に浸し、シートの上方を室内の空気にさらし、室内空気の乾燥度合いにより水を蒸発させるものであり、シート及びシートを支持するシート支持具からなる。 The water evaporating tool immerses the lower end of a sheet with a fine gap made of a hydrophilic material that allows water to permeate due to the capillary action of water, such as cotton cloth, in the water in the water receiver, exposes the upper part of the sheet to room air, It evaporates water depending on the degree of drying, and consists of a sheet and a sheet support that supports the sheet.

シートは水を含んだ状態で空気にさらされているから、空気中の細菌が付着して繁殖し易いから、銀イオン等による制菌加工をした素材にするのも有効である。 Since the sheet is exposed to air in a state of containing water, bacteria in the air adhere to it and it is easy to propagate. Therefore, it is also effective to use a material that has been sterilized by silver ions or the like.

本考案は上記水容器にその上部にある開口部から水を注入した後、開口部に上記曲管を接合する。曲管を接合した水容器を立てたまま倒立支持具にバンド等の固定具で固定する。その際、倒立支持具の支持台は曲管の上側にする。 In the present invention, water is poured into the water container from the opening at the top thereof, and then the bent pipe is joined to the opening. Fix the water container with the bent pipes upright on the inverted supporter with a fastener such as a band. At that time, the support base of the inverted support tool is placed above the curved pipe.

倒立支持具に固定された曲管付水容器を傾けて、曲管が下方になるように徐々に倒し、水受器の中へ曲管水出口が位置するように倒立させる。 Tilt the water container with a curved pipe fixed to the inverted support tool, and gradually tilt the curved pipe so that the curved pipe is downward, and invert so that the curved pipe water outlet is located in the water receiver.

水容器内の水は曲管水出口から水受器へ流出し、水受器中の水により曲管水出口が水封されると水の流出は止まる。水受器にある水に加わる大気圧により水容器内の水は曲管水出口の水封が解除されるまで水容器内に留まる。 The water in the water container flows out from the bent pipe water outlet to the water receiver, and when the bent pipe water outlet is sealed with water in the water receiver, the outflow of water stops. Due to the atmospheric pressure applied to the water in the water receiver, the water in the water container stays in the water container until the water seal at the bent water outlet is released.

室内空気の乾燥度により水蒸発具のシートから水が蒸発すると、毛管現象により水受器内の水がシートへ浸透し、水受器内の水が減少して水面が下がり曲管水出口の水封が破れると、曲管水出口から水容器内の水は曲管水出口が水封されるまで水受器へ流出する。 When water evaporates from the sheet of the water evaporator due to the dryness of the room air, the water in the water receiver permeates into the sheet due to capillary action, the water in the water receiver decreases, the water surface falls, and the bent water outlet When the water seal is broken, the water in the water container flows out from the bent tube water outlet to the water receiver until the bent tube water outlet is sealed.

倒立支持具と水受器を一体化することも有効である。この場合水受器の底が支持台になり、曲管付水容器を支柱付水受器の中で倒立させて支柱に固定する。 It is also effective to integrate the inverted support tool and the water receiver. In this case, the bottom of the water receiver serves as a support, and the water container with the bent pipe is inverted in the water receiver with the support and fixed to the support.

本考案の加湿器において、水容器は水の量が外部から目視で分る上部に開口を有するから水を入れるのが容易であり、水容器内の水の減少量が分り、水容器内の水が無くなるまで水を補給する必要がないから、こまめに水を補給する手間が省ける。 In the humidifier of the present invention, the water container has an opening in the upper part where the amount of water can be visually observed from the outside, so it is easy to put water, and the amount of water decrease in the water container is known. Since it is not necessary to replenish water until it runs out, the labor of replenishing water frequently can be saved.

水蒸発具のシートは微細間隙を有するから空気との接触面積が大きく水が蒸発しやすい。
また、室内の相対湿度に応じて水は蒸発するから過剰な水が室内へ放出され壁が水滴で濡れるようなこともない。 Since the sheet of the water evaporating tool has a fine gap, the contact area with air is large and water is likely to evaporate.
Further, since water evaporates according to the relative humidity in the room, excessive water is not released into the room and the walls are not wetted by water droplets.

また、電力などの動力が不要であるから省エネルギーであり、漏電などによる火災事故などが生じない。構造が簡単であり、操作が容易である。 In addition, since power such as electric power is unnecessary, energy is saved, and a fire accident due to electric leakage does not occur. The structure is simple and the operation is easy.

曲管と水容器と水受器の組合せは鉢植えなどの植物栽培の水補給に有効である。又、曲管と小型の水受器を一体化すれば鳥の水飲器としても利用できる。 The combination of a curved pipe, a water container and a water receiver is effective for water supply for plant cultivation such as pot planting. Moreover, if a curved pipe and a small water receiver are integrated, it can be used as a bird drinker.

以下、添付図面を参照しつつ本考案に係る加湿器の実施形態例を説明する。
図１は本発明に係る水容器と曲管を示す側面図である。図１に示すように水容器１は上方に開口部９を有する。曲管２は水容器１の開口部９とネジにより着脱可能な水入口１０と水出口１１を有する。
水は上方の開口部９より容易に水容器１へ入れる事が出来る。水容器１へ水を入れてから曲管２の水入口１０を水容器１の開口部９へ接合する。 Hereinafter, embodiments of a humidifier according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view showing a water container and a curved pipe according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the water container 1 has an opening 9 on the upper side. The bent tube 2 has a water inlet 10 and a water outlet 11 that can be attached and detached with an opening 9 of the water container 1 and screws.
Water can be easily put into the water container 1 from the upper opening 9. After water is put into the water container 1, the water inlet 10 of the curved pipe 2 is joined to the opening 9 of the water container 1.

図２は曲管２を接合した水容器１を倒立支持する倒立支持具の斜視図である。
倒立支持具は支柱３と支持台４から構成されており、支柱３は支持台４に固定されている。 FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an inverted support tool for supporting the water container 1 with the curved pipe 2 joined thereto.
The inverted support tool is composed of a support 3 and a support 4, and the support 3 is fixed to the support 4.

図３は曲管２を接合した水容器１即ち曲管付水容器５に倒立支持具を固定した側面図である。支持台４を曲管の上にして、支持柱３を固定具６により曲管付水容器５に固定する。固定具６はバンド、紐など支柱３に曲管付水容器５を固定する物であればよい。また、支柱３にバンド等を予め取付けておくことも有効である。 FIG. 3 is a side view in which an inverted support is fixed to the water container 1 to which the curved pipe 2 is joined, that is, the water container 5 with the curved pipe. The support stand 4 is placed on the curved pipe, and the support column 3 is fixed to the curved pipe-equipped water container 5 by the fixture 6. The fixture 6 may be anything that fixes the bent-tube water container 5 to the column 3 such as a band or a string. It is also effective to attach a band or the like to the column 3 in advance.

図４は倒立支持具を固定した曲管付水容器５を水受器７内へ配置する時の断面図である。図４に於いて曲管を下方にして斜めに倒した曲管付水容器５の中の水１２は曲管内で水封されている限り流出しない。曲管付水容器５を徐々に垂直に倒立させていくと水封が破れ曲管付水容器５内の水１２が水受器７へ流れ出し、水受器７内の水面が上昇し曲管水出口１１が水封されると水の流出はとまる。水受器７内にはシート支持具１４及びシート８からなる水蒸発具が配置されている。 FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view when the bent-tube water container 5 to which the inverted support tool is fixed is disposed in the water receiver 7. In FIG. 4, the water 12 in the water container 5 with the bent pipe tilted obliquely with the bent pipe downward is not discharged as long as it is sealed in the bent pipe. When the water container 5 with the bent pipe is gradually inverted vertically, the water seal is broken, and the water 12 in the water container 5 with the bent pipe flows out to the water receiver 7, and the water surface in the water receiver 7 rises and is bent. When the water outlet 11 is sealed, the outflow of water stops. A water evaporating tool comprising a sheet support 14 and a sheet 8 is disposed in the water receiver 7.

図５は倒立支持具を固定した曲管付水容器５を水受器７内に倒立した断面図である。水蒸発具のシート８の下端は水受器７内の水に浸かっており、上方は空気中に配置されている。水蒸発具のシート８へ毛管現象により水が浸透し空気の乾燥度に応じて空気中へ蒸発すると水受器７内の水面１３が下降し曲管水出口１１より空気が曲管付水容器５へ入り、水１２が水受器７へ流出して水面１３が上昇して水出口１１は水封される。
このように、毛管現象により水蒸発具のシート８へ浸透した水が室内の乾燥度に応じて蒸発するに従い、水受器７へ水容器内の水１２が無くなるまで水が補給される。 FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view in which the bent-tube water container 5 to which the inverted support tool is fixed is inverted in the water receiver 7. The lower end of the sheet 8 of the water evaporating tool is immersed in the water in the water receiver 7, and the upper part is disposed in the air. When water permeates into the sheet 8 of the water evaporating device by capillary action and evaporates into the air according to the dryness of the air, the water surface 13 in the water receiver 7 descends and the air is bent through the bent water outlet 11 and the water is attached to the bent water container. 5, the water 12 flows out to the water receiver 7, the water surface 13 rises, and the water outlet 11 is sealed.
In this way, as the water that has penetrated into the sheet 8 of the water evaporating tool due to the capillary phenomenon evaporates according to the dryness of the room, water is supplied to the water receiver 7 until there is no more water 12 in the water container.
