Description of the Related Art Humidifiers for forming a humidifying atmosphere include a spontaneous evaporation type, an electric heating type, a water spray type, and an ultrasonic type, all of which have some problems. That is, the natural evaporation type has a small humidification ability,
The electrothermal type has a problem that the running cost increases, and the water spray type has a low humidification efficiency and tends to be large in size. It is known that the ultrasonic type has a short service life despite the high initial cost, and it is also easy to disperse various bacteria and fine powder of calcium carbonate in water.

きている。[0003] Among them, those of the natural evaporation type have low humidification ability, such as low running cost and initial cost, and can suppress scattering of various germs and fine powder of calcium carbonate and high safety. There is much to gain. Based on these facts, various devices for improving the humidification capacity have been disclosed in, for example, JP-A-60-171337 and JP-A-61-17542.

Basically, the air to be humidified and the water are not in direct contact with each other, and the evaporation area is enlarged. That is, as shown in FIG. 22, the tubular film body 39 is formed by a moisture-permeable film that does not transmit water but transmits water vapor. A spacer is provided in the tubular film body 39, and a space having a thickness of several millimeters in which water can enter is held by the spacer. A corrugated spacing plate 40 for holding a space for supplying air to be humidified is superposed on the tubular film body 39, and is spirally wound to form a humidifier. With this configuration, compared to the conventional natural evaporation type that supplies water to an open container or a plate or cloth made of a hydrophilic material, there is no scattering of germs and fine powder of calcium carbonate, and a high humidification capacity can be obtained by expanding the evaporation area. ing.

【発明が解決しようとする課題】上記したチューブ状膜

いくつかの問題点がある。問題点１．間隔板４０は加湿

上、波の高さに対する波の山間の寸法に制約があり、波
の高さに対する波の山間隔はそれほど大きくない。従っ
て、全体としては送気する空間が狭くなり、加湿する空
気の送気に関する抵抗は随分大きくなっている。The spontaneous evaporation humidifier employing the above tubular film body 39 still has some problems. Problem 1. Although the spacing plate 40 is an important component for maintaining a space for supplying air to be humidified, the spacing plate 40 formed of a corrugated corrugated plate has a structure in which a dimension of a wave crest with respect to a wave height is restricted. Yes, the wave crest spacing with respect to wave height is not very large. Therefore, as a whole, the space to be supplied with air is narrowed, and the resistance of the humidified air with respect to the supply of air is considerably increased.
【０００６】問題点２．間隔板４０は長尺であり、その
山間隔は大きくなく投影平面あたりの山数も結構多いた

随分広くなっている。チューブ状膜体３９の山と接触す
る部分は、その透湿機能が山により損なわれてしまうた
め、接触面積がこのように広いと加湿能力もその分低い
ものとなる。Problem 2. Since the interval plate 40 is long, the interval between the peaks is not large, and the number of peaks per projection plane is quite large, so that the total contact area between the peaks and the tubular film body 39 is considerably large. Since the moisture-permeable function of a portion of the tubular film body 39 that comes into contact with the mountain is impaired by the mountain, the humidifying ability is low when the contact area is so large.

随分煩雑であり自動化も困難である。Problem 3. Although making the tubular film body 39 spiral is very effective in enlarging the evaporation area, it not only increases the time required for water supply, but also increases the time required for 10 m.
Since it is necessary to handle a very long tubular membrane 39 of up to 40 m, the production is not easy and the productivity is low. In other words, the spiral processing in which the long tubular film body 39 is folded and the spacing plate 40 is sandwiched therebetween is very complicated in work content and difficult to automate.

み、加湿装置の運転における立ち上り時間も短縮する。The air supply layer 2 between the water guides 4 formed by the first spacers 5 and the second spacers 6 has almost no restriction on the height difference and the opening area is 3.3 m, which is different from the space plate made of corrugated plates.
The width is sufficiently large as mx 225 mm, and the static pressure loss is very small. There is no inclusion between the first spacer 5 and the second spacer 6, and the water guide member 7 of the adjacent humidifying function body 1
Stiffness maintains its shape. Accordingly, unlike the spacing plate formed by the corrugated plate, there is almost no structure that comes into contact with the outer surface of the water guide 4, so that the rate at which the moisture-permeable function of the moisture-permeable film 8 is impaired is extremely reduced, and the humidification performance is improved accordingly. Since the opening area of each air supply layer 2 is large and the pressure loss relating to air supply as the multilayer air supply layer 2 as a whole is greatly reduced, if the same flow path resistance as that using a spacing plate with corrugated plates is used, As a result, the interval between the humidifying function bodies 1 can be reduced, and the whole can be reduced in size. In addition, if the external dimensions are the same, more humidifying functional bodies 1 can be stacked, and a high-performance humidifying device having a high humidifying ability can be obtained. The water supply to each water guide 4 is performed in parallel, and since the length of each water supply is not so long, the water supply time is short, and the rise time in the operation of the humidifier is also shortened.

とする加湿装置。1. A water-guiding member made of a rigid three-dimensional perforated plate capable of passing water is placed in a bag-like membrane formed of a porous moisture-permeable membrane that does not transmit water but transmits water vapor. Enclosed to form a flat water guide having a composite structure in which both are combined, and a plate-shaped first spacer is provided near one side of one surface of the water guide and a plate-shaped second spacer is provided near the other side. Are connected to each other in a state where the spacers are sufficiently separated from each other, and the first spacer is provided with a water supply hole communicating with the water guide, and a humidifying function body that allows water to flow from the water supply hole into the water guide is provided. A plurality of the humidifying functional bodies are stacked so that the water supply holes communicate with each other, and an air supply layer formed by the first and second spacers and a water retention layer formed by the water guide form a layer structure every other layer. A humidifying device characterized by having such a configuration.

とを特徴とする加湿装置。2. A bag-like membrane formed by a non-porous moisture-permeable membrane which is formed of a rigid, water-permeable three-dimensional perforated plate and which is permeable to water but permeates water vapor. To form a flat water guide having a composite structure in which both are combined, and a plate-like first spacer on one side of one surface of the water guide and a plate-like second spacer on the other side. The spacers are joined in a state where the spacers are sufficiently separated from each other, a first spacer is provided with a water supply hole communicating with the water guide, and a second spacer is provided with a vent hole communicating with the water guide, A humidifying function body that enables water to flow from the water supply hole into the water guide and air bleeding from the vent hole is configured, and a plurality of the humidifying function bodies are arranged so that the water supply hole and the vent hole communicate with each other. The first and second spaces are laminated. A humidifier comprising: an air supply layer formed by a heat sink; and a water retention layer formed by the water guide, forming an alternate layer structure.
