従来の静電霧化装置は、毛細管現象によって水を搬送する水搬送部と、水搬送部に水を供給する水供給部と、水搬送部が搬送する水に対して電圧を印加する印加電極と、印加電極に高電圧を印加することで水搬送部の先端部にて水を霧化させる高電圧印加部とを備えた静電霧化装置において、上記水供給部が、吸熱面及び放熱面を有するとともに該吸熱面上で空気を冷却して結露水を生成する熱交換部であり、該熱交換部の放熱面側を通って熱を奪う空気の流路を、吸熱面側を通る空気の流路とは別に形成し、上記水搬送部を、吸熱面側を通る空気の流路中に位置させていることを特徴とする（例えば、特許文献３参照）。 A conventional electrostatic atomizer includes a water transport unit that transports water by capillary action, a water supply unit that supplies water to the water transport unit, and an application electrode that applies a voltage to the water transported by the water transport unit And a high voltage application unit that atomizes water at the tip of the water transport unit by applying a high voltage to the application electrode, wherein the water supply unit includes the heat absorption surface and the heat dissipation A heat exchanging unit that has a surface and cools air on the heat absorbing surface to generate condensed water, and passes through the heat absorbing surface side through an air passage that takes heat away from the heat radiating surface side of the heat exchanging unit It is formed separately from the air flow path, and the water transport section is positioned in the air flow path passing through the heat absorbing surface side (see, for example, Patent Document 3).

従来のもう１つの静電霧化装置は、４つ目の空気清浄機は、先端が尖った棒状の水搬送部と、ペルチェモジュールの冷却側に接続され、表面に生成された結露水を該水搬送部へ供給する冷却板と、該水搬送部の水に高電圧を印加する高電圧印加手段とを備えた静電霧化装置において、前記冷却板は、結露水を重力により表面に沿って流下させて下端部から滴下させる一方、前記水搬送部には多孔質体が接続されて、当該多孔質体が前記冷却板側から供給される水を受け取る水受け取り部となっており、前記滴下した水を当該多孔質体に流すガイド部を当該多孔質体上に設けて、該冷却板と該ガイド部とは、空間を介して非接触として成ることを特徴とする（例えば、特許文献４参照）。 In another conventional electrostatic atomizer, the fourth air cleaner is connected to the water conveyance part with a sharp tip and the cooling side of the Peltier module, and the condensed water generated on the surface is In the electrostatic atomizer provided with a cooling plate to be supplied to the water conveyance unit and a high voltage applying unit for applying a high voltage to the water in the water conveyance unit, the cooling plate is configured to cause the condensed water to flow along the surface by gravity.

上記特許文献１に記載の従来の空気清浄機は、縦ラインにおいては水搬送部を流れる気流の風量や風速は、空気清浄を行うメイン気流の制御によって支配されているので、選択された風量によっては水搬送部が乾燥してしまう等の不具合を生じるという問題がある。 In the conventional air cleaner described in Patent Document 1, the air flow rate and the air speed flowing through the water conveyance unit in the vertical line are governed by the control of the main air flow for air cleaning. However, there is a problem in that the water conveyance part is dried.

上記特許文献２に記載の従来のもう１つの空気清浄機は、誘引する風の風量や風速は、空気清浄を行うメイン気流の制御によって支配されているので、ミストの放出量を独立して自由に制御することはできない。また、水の供給は水タンクに予め入れる手間があり、更に水タンク内の水が無くなったらミストの放出が出来なくなる問題がある。 In another conventional air purifier described in Patent Document 2, the amount of wind to be attracted and the speed of the air are governed by the control of the main air flow for air purification, so that the amount of mist released can be freely controlled. Cannot be controlled. In addition, there is a problem that the supply of water has to be put in the water tank in advance, and further, when there is no water in the water tank, the mist cannot be discharged.

上記特許文献３に記載の従来の静電霧化装置は、吸熱側を通る風路が放熱板の近傍を通過するので空気が温まりやすく、吸熱側で水を凝集するのに効率が悪い。また、吸熱側は周囲の空気を冷やす必要があるので空気の入替えを少なくする為に風速を微風にする必要があるのに対し、放熱側は空気を入替えて発熱する放熱板を冷やす必要があるので、吸熱側と比較し膨大な量の風で冷やす必要があり、同じ１つのファンで作られる風でこの２つの条件を両立させるには構造上の制限が多いという問題がある。 In the conventional electrostatic atomizer described in Patent Document 3, the air passage passing through the heat absorption side passes in the vicinity of the heat radiating plate, so that the air is likely to be warm, and the efficiency of aggregating water on the heat absorption side is poor. Also, the heat absorption side needs to cool the surrounding air, so it is necessary to make the wind speed lighter in order to reduce the exchange of air, whereas the heat dissipation side needs to replace the air to cool the heat sink that generates heat. Therefore, it is necessary to cool with an enormous amount of wind as compared with the endothermic side, and there is a problem in that there are many structural limitations to make these two conditions compatible with the wind produced by the same fan.

上記特許文献４に記載の従来のもう１つの静電霧化装置は、水滴の多い時期には多孔質体の含水量が飽和となり、水溜め部が満水となりあふれ出る可能性がある。また、水滴の少ない時期には水溜め部と通水用接続部と水搬送部との距離が大きいと、多孔質体内で移動する時間が長いため途中で乾燥してしまう恐れがある。特に、湿った空気を供給するためには気流が必要なはずで、水の移動距離が長いと途中で気流の影響で乾燥しやすくなるという問題がある。 In another conventional electrostatic atomizer described in Patent Document 4, the water content of the porous body becomes saturated at the time when there are many water droplets, and the water reservoir may become full and overflow. In addition, when the distance between the water reservoir, the water passage connecting portion, and the water transport portion is large at a time when there are few water droplets, there is a risk of drying in the middle because of the long time required to move in the porous body. In particular, in order to supply moist air, an air flow should be required, and if the moving distance of water is long, there is a problem that the air is easily dried due to the air current.

本発明はかかる問題を解決するためになされたもので、水搬送部の乾燥を防止でき、ミストの放出量を独立して制御でき、ミストを作るための水を供給する手間を省き、水を凝集する効率を向上させ、水溜め部が満水となりあふれ出るのを防止することができる空気清浄機及び静電霧化装置を得ることを目的とする。 The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and can prevent the water transport unit from drying, can independently control the amount of mist discharged, saves the trouble of supplying water for making mist, An object of the present invention is to obtain an air purifier and an electrostatic atomizer capable of improving the aggregating efficiency and preventing the water reservoir from overflowing and overflowing.

The first air blowing section for discharging from the first discharge port provided in the air cleaner body is provided in the air cleaner body, and is sucked from the second suction port provided in the mist production chamber formed in the air cleaner body, A part of the air flow passes through the electrostatic atomizer arranged in the fog production chamber, and the remaining air flow passes through the periphery of the electrostatic atomizer and is recombined with the electrostatic atomizer. A second that discharges the nanometer-sized electrostatic mist generated in the atomizing device and attracted by the air flow passing through the periphery of the electrostatic atomizing device from a second discharge port provided in the fog production chamber. comprising a blower unit to the mist producing chamber, the electrostatic atomization apparatus and water production chamber to produce condensed water, the A water production chamber of the electrostatic atomizer, comprising: a water conveyance unit that conveys the dew condensation water carried from the production room; and a discharge chamber that generates electrostatic mist from the dew condensation water conveyed by the water conveyance unit Includes a Peltier module, an endothermic plate, and a radiator plate, and the water production chamber includes an inclined guide portion that guides condensed water condensed at a lower portion of the endothermic plate, and a plurality of second guide portions provided at a lowermost portion of the guide portion.

Always blocked by water, the size of the air flow from the second blower does not contact the water transport.

本発明に係る空気清浄機においては、空気清浄機本体に設けた第１の吸込口から吸引し、フィルターを経由して浄化した空気流を前記空気清浄機本体の第１の吸込口とは他面に設けた第１の吐出口から排出させる第１の送風部の他に、空気清浄機本体に形成された霧製造室に設けた第２の吸込口から吸引し、一部の空気流が前記霧製造室内に配設された静電霧化装置を経由し、残りの空気流が該静電霧化装置周辺を通過して再び合流した空気流と、静電霧化装置内で生成され、前記静電霧化装置周辺を通過した空気流により誘引されたナノメーターサイズの静電ミストとを霧製造室に設けた第２の吐出口から排出させる第２の送風部を霧製造室内に備えたので、空気清浄機本体内で第１の送風部により作り出される空気清浄のメイン気流に影響を受けることなく、独立した気流を第２の送風部が作り出すことができ、その気流に静電霧化装置が作り出す静電ミストを合流させ室内に放出を可能としたので、空気清浄のメイン気流の風量や風速を使用者が任意に選択した場合でも影響を受けずに、安定した静電ミストの供給ができるという効果がある。 In the air cleaner according to the present invention, the air flow sucked from the first suction port provided in the air cleaner body and purified through the filter is different from the first suction port of the air cleaner body.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the air cleaner according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention has a front door 2 that can be opened and closed or attached to the front of a main body case 3 that covers the main components of the air cleaner main body 1. ing. On the upper part of the air purifier main body 1, there is disposed an operation section box 4 in which operation means for performing operations such as power on / off switching operated by the user and air volume adjustment are gathered.

また、空気清浄機本体１の背面に格子形状等による複数の穴で形成された第１の吸込口５が設けられ、空気清浄機本体１の上面には第１の吐出口１４が開口し、気流Ａや気流Ｂが通る空間によって第１の吸込口５と第１の吐出口１４が連結されている。
第１の吸込口５と第１の吐出口１４を連結する空間内に気流Ａや気流Ｂを生み出すためのファン６ａとモータ６ｂとからなる第１の送風部６が配置されている。
操作部ボックス４に配置された操作手段（操作手段についての部品構成説明は省く）や遠隔操作リモコン（リモコンについての説明を省く）等により、第１の送風部６のモータ６ｂに連結されたファン６ａの回転数を制御し、風量や風速を任意に制御することができ、空気清浄能力を時と場合によって使用者が選択することができる。 Moreover, the 1st suction inlet 5 formed in the back surface of the air cleaner main body 1 by the some hole by the grid | lattice shape etc. is provided, and the 1st outlet 14 opens on the upper surface of the air cleaner main body 1, The first suction port 5 and the first discharge port 14 are connected by a space through which the airflow A and the airflow B pass.
A first air blower 6 including a fan 6a and a motor 6b for generating an airflow A and an airflow B is disposed in a space connecting the first suction port 5 and the first discharge port 14.
A fan connected to the motor 6b of the first air blower 6 by an operating means (a description of the component configuration of the operating means is omitted) or a remote operation remote controller (a description of the remote control is omitted) arranged in the operation unit box 4 The number of rotations of 6a can be controlled, the air volume and the wind speed can be arbitrarily controlled, and the user can select the air cleaning capacity depending on the time and circumstances.

空気清浄機本体１の第１の吸込口５より内側近傍には集塵した物に対して抗菌、抗アレルゲン、抗ウイルス等の抑制機能を任意に付加した集塵機能を備えた第１のフィルター８ａと、脱臭機能を備えた第２のフィルター８ｂとからなるフィルター群８が配置されている。また、抗菌、抗アレルゲン、抗ウイルス等の抑制機能は第２のフィルター８ｂのみに選択的に付加しても構わない。なお、フィルターは第１及び第２のフィルター８ａ、８ｂからなるフィルター群８でなく単体のフィルターでも構わない。
第１の送風部６のファン６ａにより作り出された吸引気流はフィルター群８によって濾過された後に、第１の開口９を経由しファン６ａを通過してファン下流風路１０へ流れる気流Ａと、それとは別に第２の開口１１を経由し水に一部浸され湿った加湿フィルター１２を設けた部屋を通過してファン上流風路１８を通り、第３の開口１３より進入し、ファン６ａを通過してファン下流風路１０へ流れる気流Ｂが合流し、第１の吐出口１４から濾過された気流として排出される。 A first filter 8a having a dust collection function in which an antibacterial function, an anti-allergen, an anti-virus control function, etc., is arbitrarily added to the collected matter in the vicinity of the inside of the first air inlet 5 of the air cleaner body 1.

Moreover, you may selectively add suppression functions, such as an antibacterial, antiallergen, and antivirus, only to the 2nd filter 8b. The filter may be a single filter instead of the filter group 8 including the first and second filters 8a and 8b.
The suction airflow created by the fan 6a of the first blower 6 is filtered by the filter group 8, and then flows through the fan 6a via the first opening 9 and flows to the fan downstream air passage 10; Apart from that, it passes through a room provided with a humidifying filter 12 that is partially immersed in water through the second opening 11, passes through the fan upstream air passage 18, enters from the third opening 13, and enters the fan 6 a. The airflow B that passes through and flows to the fan downstream air passage 10 joins and is discharged from the first discharge port 14 as a filtered airflow.

この例は加湿機能を付加した空気清浄機の構成例であり、ファン６ａは前面、後面の両面から吸引する両吸いファンが使われているが、加湿機能が無く片吸いファンにより気流Ａのみが作られる空気清浄機でも良い。
また、加湿機能を付加した空気清浄機の場合、給水タンク１５が前扉２内に設置され、給水タンク１５の下部に給水タンク１５より給水された水を溜めておくための水受け皿１６と、その水に一部浸るように配置された加湿フィルター１２が気流Ｂに触れるように設けられている。
空気清浄機本体１の上方には、前記気流Ａ、気流Ｂが触れることのない霧製造室１７が、ファン下流風路１０と壁を隔てて併設されている。その霧製造室１７内には静電霧化装置１９が配設され、その静電霧化装置１９の放熱板２０はファン下流風路１０内に晒され、放熱板２０以外の部材は気流Ａ、気流Ｂに触れないように設けられている。

Above the air cleaner body 1, a mist production chamber 17 that is not touched by the airflow A and the airflow B is provided side by side with the fan downstream air passage 10 across a wall. An electrostatic atomizer 19 is disposed in the mist production chamber 17, and the radiator plate 20 of the electrostatic atomizer 19 is exposed to the fan downstream air passage 10, and members other than the radiator plate 20 are airflow A. The airflow B is not touched.
FIG. 5 shows a state in which the airflow A and / or the airflow B are directed by the guide wall 23 and the heat sink 20 is exposed to a part of the airflow.

図４に示すように、霧製造室１７内には、第１の送風部６とは別の小型の第２の送風部２１が配置され、吸引する空気は第１の吸込口５とは別の気流を生成する第２の吸込口７から気流Ｃとして供給され、第２の送風部２１から排出される一部の気流Ｄに晒されるように静電霧化装置１９が設けられている。
第２の送風部２１から排出される他の気流Ｆは、静電霧化装置１９の外部を沿うように流れ、第２の吐出口２２より排出され、前記気流Ａ、気流Ｂが形成する集塵のための空気清浄メイン気流とは別に独立した気流を生成する。なお、第２の吐出口２２の開口面積は第１の吐出口の開口面積よりも小さい。 As shown in FIG. 4, a small second air blowing unit 21 different from the first air blowing unit 6 is arranged in the fog production chamber 17, and the air to be sucked is different from the first air inlet 5. The electrostatic atomizer 19 is provided so as to be exposed to a part of the airflow D that is supplied as the airflow C from the second suction port 7 that generates the airflow and discharged from the second blower 21.
The other airflow F discharged from the second blower 21 flows along the outside of the electrostatic atomizer 19 and is discharged from the second discharge port 22 to form the airflow A and the airflow B. It produces an independent air stream separate from the air cleaning main air stream for dust. The opening area of the second discharge port 22 is smaller than the opening area of the first discharge port.

図６及び図７に示すように、静電霧化装置１９は大きく区分けすると、結露水を製造する水製造室４０と、水製造室４０からの結露水を搬送する水搬送部２８と、水搬送部２８によって搬送された結露水から静電ミストを生成する放電室４１とに分けられる。
その水製造室４０内に、吸熱板２４が放熱板２０とでペルチェモジュール３７を挟持するように設けられ、放熱板２０のみが外部に突き出すように配置され、その他の部材は放熱板２０と隔てるように水製造室４０内に配置されている。
その水製造室４０は入口２５と出口２６を有し、入口２５と出口２６の間に吸熱板２４が配置されている。第２の送風部２１によって生成される気流Ｅは入口２５より浸入し、吸熱板２４の周囲を通り出口２６より排出される。
また、ペルチェモジュール３７は熱交換器の役割として、吸熱板２４から熱エネルギーを奪い、放熱板２０へ熱エネルギーを移動する。これにより、吸熱板２４の温度が下がり、周囲を流れる気流Ｅが冷却され、吸熱板２４の表面上に結露を生じる。また、放熱板２０の熱は気流Ａ、気流Ｂによって奪われ冷却される。 As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, when the electrostatic atomizer 19 is roughly divided, a water production room 40 that produces condensed water, a water conveyance unit 28 that conveys condensed water from the water production room 40, and water It is divided into a discharge chamber 41 that generates electrostatic mist from the condensed water transported by the transport unit 28.
In the water production chamber 40, the heat absorbing plate 24 is provided so as to sandwich the Peltier module 37 with the heat radiating plate 20, only the heat radiating plate 20 is disposed to protrude outside, and other members are separated from the heat radiating plate 20. As shown in FIG.
The water production chamber 40 has an inlet 25 and an outlet 26, and the heat absorbing plate 24 is disposed between the inlet 25 and the outlet 26. The airflow E generated by the second air blowing unit 21 enters from the inlet 25, passes through the heat absorbing plate 24, and is discharged from the outlet 26.
In addition, the Peltier module 37 takes heat energy from the heat absorbing plate 24 as a heat exchanger and moves the heat energy to the heat radiating plate 20. Thereby, the temperature of the heat absorbing plate 24 is lowered, the airflow E flowing around is cooled, and dew condensation occurs on the surface of the heat absorbing plate 24. Further, the heat of the heat sink 20 is taken away by the airflow A and the airflow B and cooled.

吸熱板２４の表面上に凝集した結露水は自重により吸熱板２４の下部へ滴り落ち、傾斜したガイド部２７等を流れ落ちたりし、水製造室４０の底部に設けた複数の穴３６から更に下部へ移動する。これら複数の穴３６は水製造室４０の底部に開けた穴の代わりに、金属やフェルト等の多孔質体でも構わない。
これら複数の穴３６の下部には、これら複数の穴３６を塞ぐように水搬送部２８が当接し、気流Ｅが通り抜けない構造をしている。
これら複数の穴３６の口径は、結露水発生時は表面張力により常に水で塞がれ、第２の送風部２１からの気流Ｅが水搬送部２８に接触しないサイズとしている。
また、結露水が作られている時は結露水が複数の穴３６に浸入し、穴３６内部を満たすので、気流Ｅが水搬送部２８に触れることはなく、水搬送部２８が乾燥することはない。また、穴３６を塞ぐように水搬送部２８が当接していることで、結露水全てが水搬送部２８に供給されて無駄が無い。 The condensed water condensed on the surface of the endothermic plate 24 drops to the lower part of the endothermic plate 24 due to its own weight, flows down the inclined guide portion 27 and the like, and further lowers from a plurality of holes 36 provided at the bottom of the water production chamber 40. Move to. The plurality of holes 36 may be made of a porous material such as metal or felt instead of the hole formed in the bottom of the water production chamber 40.
The water transporting portion 28 is in contact with the lower portions of the plurality of holes 36 so as to block the plurality of holes 36, and the airflow E does not pass therethrough.
The diameters of the plurality of holes 36 are set such that when condensed water is generated, they are always blocked by water due to surface tension, and the airflow E from the second blower unit 21 does not contact the water transport unit 28.
In addition, when condensed water is formed, the condensed water penetrates into the plurality of holes 36 and fills the inside of the holes 36, so that the air flow E does not touch the water conveying unit 28 and the water conveying unit 28 is dried. There is no. Moreover, since the water conveyance part 28 contact | abuts so that the hole 36 may be plugged up, all the dew condensation water is supplied to the water conveyance part 28, and there is no waste.

水搬送部２８の一例としては、材質を発泡金属で構成することで、結露水が徐々に染みて行き先端の尖った放電電極２９まで水を供給することができる。その放電電極２９の正面近傍には、空間を隔てて対向電極３０が設けられ、接続端子３４に接続された対向電極３０と接続端子３５に接続され、水を持った放電電極２９との間に高電圧を印加すると、ナノメーターサイズの静電ミストが発生する。
静電ミストの発生メカニズムは上記特許文献４である特開２００９−９０２８０号公報に記載されているように、放電電極２９に保持していた水が帯電し、帯電した水にクーロン力が働き、水の液面が局所的に円錐形状に盛り上がりテイラーコーンが形成され、このテイラーコーンの電荷が集中して電荷の密度が高密度になり、テイラーコーンの先端部分の水が大きなエネルギーを受けて表面張力を超えてはじけるようにして水が***、飛散（レイリー***）を繰り返して静電霧化を行い、ナノメーターサイズの静電ミストが発生するものである。 As an example of the water transport unit 28, the material is made of a metal foam, so that the condensed water can gradually permeate and supply water to the discharge electrode 29 having a sharp tip. In the vicinity of the front surface of the discharge electrode 29, a counter electrode 30 is provided with a space between the counter electrode 30 connected to the connection terminal 34 and the connection terminal 35, and between the discharge electrode 29 having water. When a high voltage is applied, electrostatic mist of nanometer size is generated.
As described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-90280, which is the above-mentioned Patent Document 4, the generation mechanism of electrostatic mist is charged with water held in the discharge electrode 29, and the Coulomb force works on the charged water, The water level rises locally in a conical shape, and a Taylor cone is formed. The charge of this Taylor cone is concentrated and the density of the charge becomes high, and the water at the tip of the Taylor cone receives a large amount of energy to the surface. Water is repeatedly split and scattered (Rayleigh splitting) so as to repel exceeding tension, and electrostatic atomization is performed, and nanometer-sized electrostatic mist is generated.

発生した静電ミストは放電室４１で充満し、第４の開口３１を通って通路３３に溢れ出る。通路３３に充満してくる静電ミストは図４に示すように、気流Ｆが第５の開口３２から静電ミストを誘引し、第２の吐出口２２から前記気流Ｆと共に排出され、部屋内に散布される。
霧製造室１７内の第２の送風部２１は第１の送風部６より小型のファンとモータを使用することで、風量は空気清浄のメイン気流となる気流Ａ及び気流Ｂよりも小風量となり、静電ミストが広範囲に散り撒かれることはなく、静電ミストが短時間の内に極端に希薄状態になることはなく、ナノメーターサイズの静電ミストが人の肌や毛髪の保湿量を保つのに効果を上げる。なお、ナノメーターサイズの静電ミストの保湿効果については、上記特許文献４である特開２００９−９０２８０号公報に記載がある。
また、前記ペルチェモジュール３７の熱交換技術を応用して静電ミストの元といえる水を空気中から生成供給するので、使用者が水を補給する必要は無く、またその水を溜めておくのではないので腐食する恐れもない。 The generated electrostatic mist is filled in the discharge chamber 41 and overflows into the passage 33 through the fourth opening 31. As shown in FIG. 4, the electrostatic mist filling the passage 33 attracts the electrostatic mist from the fifth opening 32 and is discharged together with the air flow F from the second discharge port 22. Sprayed on.
The second air blowing unit 21 in the mist production chamber 17 uses a smaller fan and motor than the first air blowing unit 6 so that the air volume is smaller than the air currents A and B, which are the main airflows for air purification. Electrostatic mist will not be scattered over a wide area, electrostatic mist will not become extremely diluted within a short time, and nanometer-sized electrostatic mist will improve the moisture retention of human skin and hair Effective to keep. In addition, about the moisture retention effect of nanometer size electrostatic mist, it is described in Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 2009-90280 which is the said patent document 4. FIG.
In addition, since the water that can be said to be the source of electrostatic mist is generated and supplied from the air by applying the heat exchange technology of the Peltier module 37, it is not necessary for the user to replenish water and the water is stored. Because it is not, there is no fear of corrosion.

更に、第２の送風部２１により周囲の湿った空気を吸熱板２４へ供給することができるので、安定した結露水の量を生成可能である。しかし、吸熱板２４へ供給する気流Ｅは風量が多かったり、風速が速いと吸熱板２４の温度が上がってしまったり等で結露し難い状態になるのに対し、放熱板２０を冷却するための気流Ａ、気流Ｂは風量が多く必要で、風速も速い方が有利のため、同じ１つのファンで同時に湿った空気の供給用と放熱板の冷却を兼ねるのは困難である。
また、気流Ａ、気流Ｂは集塵や脱臭をする本来の空気清浄機のメイン機能に拘わるものなので、使用者が自由に風量、風速調整を行う場合が多く、吸熱板２４への空気の供給量の調整が独立していないので困難である。 Furthermore, since the surrounding humid air can be supplied to the heat-absorbing plate 24 by the 2nd ventilation part 21, the quantity of stable dew condensation water can be produced | generated. However, the air flow E supplied to the heat absorbing plate 24 is in a state where it is difficult to condense due to a large amount of air flow or a high wind speed, the temperature of the heat absorbing plate 24 increases. Since the airflow A and the airflow B require a large amount of air and it is advantageous that the air speed is faster, it is difficult to simultaneously supply both wet air and cool the heat radiating plate with the same fan.
Further, since the airflow A and the airflow B are related to the main function of the original air purifier that collects dust and deodorizes, the user often freely adjusts the air volume and the air speed, and the air supply to the heat absorbing plate 24 is performed. It is difficult to adjust the amount because it is not independent.

しかし、本発明では吸熱板２４への空気の供給は、専用の第２の送風部２１を設けたので、風量も風速も空気清浄機のメイン気流とは独立して制御が可能なため、使用者の操作に影響を受けずに安定して静電ミストの生成が可能である。
また、霧製造室１７は大きく開口した第１の吐出口１４と連通する空間ではなく別室なので、使用していない時に第１の吐出口１４から埃が浸入しても、電極等を汚したり、結露水を生成する吸熱板２４に蓄積することもなく故障の心配や、性能を落とすこともなく、また清潔に使用することができる。 However, in the present invention, the air supply to the heat absorbing plate 24 is provided with the dedicated second air blowing unit 21, so that the air volume and the wind speed can be controlled independently of the main air flow of the air cleaner. The electrostatic mist can be generated stably without being affected by the user's operation.
In addition, since the mist production chamber 17 is not a space communicating with the first discharge port 14 that is largely opened, even if dust enters from the first discharge port 14 when it is not in use, It can be used cleanly without accumulating on the heat absorbing plate 24 that generates condensed water, without worrying about breakdowns, and without degrading performance.

上記実施の形態１は、第２の送風部２１は霧製造室１７に設けた第２の吸込口７から吸引し、一部の空気流が霧製造室１７内に配設された静電霧化装置１９を経由し、残りの空気流が静電霧化装置１９周辺を通過して再び合流した空気流と、静電霧化装置１９内で生成され、静電霧化装置１９周辺を通過した空気流により誘引されたナノメーターサイズの静電ミストとを霧製造室１７に設けた第２の吐出口２２から排出させるようにしているが、第２の吸込口７から吸引し、全ての空気流が霧製造室１７内に配設された静電霧化装置１９を経由し、静電霧化装置１９を経由した空気流と、静電霧化装置１９内で生成され、その空気流の一部により誘引されたナノメーターサイズの静電ミストとを霧製造室１７に設けた第２の吐出口２２から排出させるようにしてもよい。 In the first embodiment, the second air blowing unit 21 is sucked from the second suction port 7 provided in the mist production chamber 17, and a part of the air flow is disposed in the mist production chamber 17. The remaining air flow passes through the periphery of the electrostatic atomizer 19 and passes through the periphery of the electrostatic atomizer 19 and is generated in the electrostatic atomizer 19 and passes through the periphery of the electrostatic atomizer 19. The nanometer-sized electrostatic mist attracted by the air flow is discharged from the second discharge port 22 provided in the mist production chamber 17, but is sucked from the second suction port 7, An air flow is generated in the electrostatic atomizer 19 through the electrostatic atomizer 19 disposed in the fog production chamber 17, and the air stream generated in the electrostatic atomizer 19. The nanometer-sized electrostatic mist attracted by a part of the mist is discharged from the second discharge port 22 provided in the mist production chamber 17. It may be allowed to.

この実施の形態２は、図８に示すように、実施の形態１の静電霧化装置１９に水製造室４０と水搬送部２８と放電室４１とは隔離された誘引風路４２を設けたものである。
その誘引風路４２は一方の端部に第２の入口３８を有し、他方の端部に前記通路３３に連通する第２の出口３９を有する構成としている。
この誘引風路４２はその第２の入口３８から気流Ｆの一部もしくは全部を取り込み、その全てを第２の出口３９から通路３３に流し込み、第５の開口３２より放出させることで、通路３３内に充満していた静電ミストを全て第５の開口３２より放出させたり、放電室４１に充満していた静電ミストを誘引して第５の開口３２より放出させる等して、実施の形態１よりも効率良く、濃度も濃い状態で静電ミストを第２の吐出口２２から放出させることができる。 Embodiment 2. FIG.
8 is a cross-sectional view of the electrostatic atomization chamber of the air cleaner according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view of a first modification of the electrostatic atomization chamber of the air cleaner, FIG. These are sectional drawings of the 2nd modification of the electrostatic atomization chamber of the same air cleaner.
In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the electrostatic atomizer 19 of the first embodiment is provided with an induction air passage 42 that is isolated from the water production chamber 40, the water transfer section 28, and the discharge chamber 41. It is a thing.
The induction air passage 42 has a second inlet 38 at one end and a second outlet 39 communicating with the passage 33 at the other end.
The induction air passage 42 takes in part or all of the air flow F from the second inlet 38, flows all of it into the passage 33 from the second outlet 39, and discharges it from the fifth opening 32, thereby causing the passage 33. All of the electrostatic mist filled inside is discharged from the fifth opening 32, or the electrostatic mist filled in the discharge chamber 41 is attracted and discharged from the fifth opening 32, etc. The electrostatic mist can be discharged from the second discharge port 22 in a state where the concentration is higher than that of the first mode and the concentration is higher.

図９は実施の形態２の第１の変型例を示すもので、静電霧化装置１９の水搬送部２８の下部に、誘導風路４２に連通する複数の小さな第２の穴４３を設け、その第２の穴４３の上に第２の穴４３よりも孔径が小さい多孔質体４４を配置したものである。
このように、静電霧化装置１９の水搬送部２８の下部に、誘導風路４２に連通する複数の小さな第２の穴４３を設け、その第２の穴４３の上に多孔質体４４を配置することにより、気温と湿度の関係で季節や、部屋の状態により結露水の量が多く、水搬送部２８の水搬送能力や、吸収力を超えてしまった場合、水搬送部２８の下部に結露水が溢れ落ち、多孔質体４４を濡らし、含水量が飽和状態となると第２の穴４３より誘導風路４２に結露水が浸入し、浸入した結露水は常温である前記気流Ｆに晒され、気化してしまうので余分な結露水の処理が可能となる。 FIG. 9 shows a first modification of the second embodiment, and a plurality of small second holes 43 communicating with the guide air passage 42 are provided in the lower part of the water transport unit 28 of the electrostatic atomizer 19. A porous body 44 having a pore diameter smaller than that of the second hole 43 is arranged on the second hole 43.
As described above, a plurality of small second holes 43 that communicate with the guide air passage 42 are provided in the lower part of the water conveyance unit 28 of the electrostatic atomizer 19, and the porous body 44 is formed on the second holes 43. If the amount of condensed water is large depending on the season and room conditions due to the relationship between temperature and humidity, the water transport capacity of the water transport section 28 and the absorption capacity will be exceeded. When the condensed water overflows in the lower part, wets the porous body 44, and the water content becomes saturated, the condensed water enters the induction air passage 42 from the second hole 43, and the intruded condensed water is at the normal temperature. Because it is exposed to water and vaporizes, it becomes possible to treat excess condensed water.

図１０は実施の形態２の第２の変型例を示すもので、静電霧化装置１９の水搬送部２８の下部を誘引風路４２と連通するように開放し、気流Ｆに水搬送部２８の下部を晒すようにしたものである。
このように、静電霧化装置１９の水搬送部２８の下部誘引風路４２と連通するように開放し、気流Ｆに水搬送部２８の下部を晒すようにしたことにより、気温と湿度の関係で季節や、部屋の状態により結露水の量が多く水搬送部２８の水搬送能力や、吸収力を超えてしまった場合、水搬送部２８の下部に結露水が溢れ落ち、誘引風路４２内で気流Ｆに晒され、気化してしまうので余分な結露水の処理が可能となる。
また、水搬送部２８の下部に直接気流Ｆが当たるので、結露水のある程度の量までは溢れ落ちる前に気化させることができる。 FIG. 10 shows a second modification of the second embodiment, in which the lower part of the water conveyance unit 28 of the electrostatic atomizer 19 is opened so as to communicate with the induction air passage 42, and the water conveyance unit The lower part of 28 is exposed.
As described above, the electrostatic atomizer 19 is opened so as to communicate with the lower induction air passage 42 of the water conveyance unit 28, and the lower part of the water conveyance unit 28 is exposed to the air flow F. When the amount of condensed water is large due to the season or the condition of the room, and the water conveying capacity or absorption capacity of the water conveying unit 28 is exceeded, the condensed water overflows below the water conveying unit 28, and the induced wind path Since it will be exposed to the airflow F in 42 and will be vaporized, it will be possible to treat excess condensed water.
In addition, since the air flow F directly hits the lower part of the water transport unit 28, a certain amount of condensed water can be vaporized before overflowing.

実施の形態３．
この実施の形態３は、霧製造室１７内における第２の送風部２１への電流供給と、ペルチェモジュール３７への電流供給と、放電電極２９及び対向電極３０への電流供給とをそれぞれ分離独立し、放電電極２９及び対向電極３０への電流供給や、ペルチェモジュール３７への電流供給が停止しても第２の送風部２１への電流供給は行い、第２の送風部２１を可動できるようにしたものである。
これにより、ペルチェモジュール３７と、放電電極２９及び対向電極３０への電流供給を停止した場合に、吸熱板２４と水搬送部２８に溜まった水をそのまま放置することなく、可動する第２の送風部２１が作り出す気流によって乾燥させることができ、常に清潔を保つことができる。
また、放電電極２９へ必要量の水が搬送されるまでは、放電電極２９及び対向電極３０への電流供給を停止し、乾燥状態で高電圧を印加しオゾン等が発生するのを防止することもできる。 Embodiment 3 FIG.
In the third embodiment, the current supply to the second blower unit 21 in the fog production chamber 17, the current supply to the Peltier module 37, and the current supply to the discharge electrode 29 and the counter electrode 30 are separated and independent. Even if the current supply to the discharge electrode 29 and the counter electrode 30 and the current supply to the Peltier module 37 are stopped, the current supply to the second blower unit 21 is performed so that the second blower unit 21 can be moved. It is a thing.
Thereby, when the current supply to the Peltier module 37 and the discharge electrode 29 and the counter electrode 30 is stopped, the second air flow that moves without leaving the water collected in the heat absorbing plate 24 and the water transport unit 28 as they are. It can be dried by the air flow created by the section 21 and can always be kept clean.
Further, the current supply to the discharge electrode 29 and the counter electrode 30 is stopped until a required amount of water is conveyed to the discharge electrode 29, and high voltage is applied in a dry state to prevent generation of ozone or the like. You can also.

実施の形態４．
この実施の形態４は、霧製造室１７内における第２の送風部２１への電流供給、ペルチェモジュール３７への電流供給並びに放電電極２９及び対向電極３０への電流供給を、第１の送風部６への電流供給とを分離独立し、第１の送風部６による空気清浄メイン気流による空気清浄をしていない場合に、第２の送風部２１、ペルチェモジュール３７並びに放電電極２９及び対向電極３０へ電流供給し、空気清浄メイン気流による空気清浄と独立して静電ミストの放出ができる。これにより、空気清浄はせずに肌や毛髪の保水を目的としただけでも使用でき、消費電力を抑えたり、騒音も少なくすることができる。 Embodiment 4 FIG.
In the fourth embodiment, current supply to the second blower unit 21 in the fog production chamber 17, current supply to the Peltier module 37, and current supply to the discharge electrode 29 and the counter electrode 30 are performed using the first blower unit. When the current supply to 6 is separated and independent, and the air is not cleaned by the main airflow by the first blower 6, the second blower 21, the Peltier module 37, the discharge electrode 29, and the counter electrode 30 The electric current is supplied to the air, and electrostatic mist can be discharged independently of the air cleaning by the air cleaning main airflow. Thereby, it can be used only for the purpose of water retention of skin and hair without purifying the air, and can reduce power consumption and noise.

実施の形態５．
図１１は本発明の実施の形態５に係る空気洗浄機の図４と同様な断面図である。
この実施の形態５は、図１１に示すように、実施の形態１の静電霧化装置１９を第２の開口３２側が下がるように傾斜させて霧製造室１７内に設置したものである。
これにより、静電霧化装置１９に内蔵する全ての部材が霧製造室１７に対して傾斜した状態になり、吸熱板２４の上面４５や底面４６の結露水は傾斜の低い方向へ流れ、小さな粒だった結露水が合わさり大きな粒と凝集して成り、放電電極２９に近い側のガイド部２７から、放電電極２９に近い側の水搬送部２８へと流れ落ち、最短距離を短時間で放電電極２９に水を搬送する。
従って、結露水の量が少ない状況下では結露水がガイド部２７へ落ちるのに時間がかかったり、水搬送部２８で水の移動に時間がかかったり、またそれにより乾燥してしまったりという問題を解決することができる。 Embodiment 5 FIG.
FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view similar to FIG. 4 of an air cleaner according to Embodiment 5 of the present invention.
In the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the electrostatic atomizer 19 of the first embodiment is installed in the mist manufacturing chamber 17 so as to be inclined so that the second opening 32 side is lowered.
As a result, all the members built in the electrostatic atomizer 19 are inclined with respect to the mist production chamber 17, and the condensed water on the upper surface 45 and the bottom surface 46 of the heat absorbing plate 24 flows in a direction of lower inclination and is small. Condensed water, which was in the form of particles, is aggregated and agglomerated with large particles, and flows down from the guide portion 27 on the side close to the discharge electrode 29 to the water transport portion 28 on the side close to the discharge electrode 29. Transport water to 29.
Therefore, under the condition that the amount of condensed water is small, it takes time for the condensed water to drop to the guide part 27, or it takes time for the water to move in the water transport part 28, and the problem is that it causes drying. Can be solved.

図１２は実施の形態５の第１の変型例を示すもので、静電霧化装置１９内に吸熱板２４をその放電電極側が下がるよう傾斜させて配置したものである。
これにより、静電霧化装置１９自体を霧製造室１７内に傾斜して設置しなくても、静電霧化装置１９自体を霧製造室１７内に傾斜したのと同様に、吸熱板２４の上面４５や底面４６の結露水が、傾斜の低い放電電極側へ凝集し大きな水の粒を作り、放電電極２９に近い側のガイド部２７から、放電電極２９に近い側の水搬送部２８へと流れ落ち、最短距離を短時間で放電電極２９に水を搬送するので同じ効果となる。 FIG. 12 shows a first modification of the fifth embodiment, in which the endothermic plate 24 is inclined in the electrostatic atomizer 19 so that the discharge electrode side thereof is lowered.
Thereby, even if the electrostatic atomizer 19 itself is not installed in the mist production chamber 17 at an inclination, the heat absorbing plate 24 is provided in the same manner as the electrostatic atomizer 19 itself is inclined in the mist production chamber 17. Condensed water on the upper surface 45 and the bottom surface 46 of the liquid agglomerates to the discharge electrode side with a low inclination to form large water particles, and from the guide part 27 on the side close to the discharge electrode 29, the water transport part 28 on the side close to the discharge electrode 29 Since the water is transported to the discharge electrode 29 in a short time over the shortest distance, the same effect is obtained.

実施の形態６．
この実施の形態６は、霧製造室１７内における第２の送風部２１の回転数もしくは電流値を上げるのと連動して、ペルチェモジュール３７へ供給する電流値を上げる制御を施した。
これにより、第２の送風部２１が作り出す気流ＥＦの風量が増えると、それと連動してペルチェモジュール３７の電流値が上がり、放熱板２０と吸熱板２４との間の熱交換効率が上昇し、吸熱板２４の温度がより下がり、また吸熱板２４を通過する湿った空気が多く通過し、結露する水の量を増加させる。
また、気流Ｆの風量も増し、気流Ｅと気流Ｆの合流した気流は、より空気清浄機本体１外の遠方へと静電ミストを含む気流の到達距離を延ばし、効果の及ぶ範囲を増やすことができる。 Embodiment 6 FIG.
In the sixth embodiment, control is performed to increase the current value supplied to the Peltier module 37 in conjunction with increasing the rotational speed or current value of the second blower unit 21 in the fog production chamber 17.
Thereby, when the air volume of the airflow EF created by the second air blowing unit 21 increases, the current value of the Peltier module 37 increases in conjunction with it, and the heat exchange efficiency between the heat sink 20 and the heat sink 24 increases. The temperature of the heat absorbing plate 24 is further lowered, and a lot of moist air passing through the heat absorbing plate 24 passes to increase the amount of condensed water.
In addition, the air volume of the air flow F is increased, and the air flow combined with the air flow E and the air flow F extends the reach of the air flow including the electrostatic mist to a distant place outside the air purifier main body 1 and increases the range of the effect. Can do.

また、第２の送風部２１の回転数もしくは電流値と独立して、ペルチェモジュール３７へ供給する電流値を制御するようにした。
これにより、ペルチェモジュール３７へ供給する電流値を上げた時に、選択的に第２の送風部２１の回転数もしくは電流値を可変させなかったり、又は下げたりすることで、発生する静電ミストの量は増加するが、空気清浄機本体１外へ放出する気流の量は変わらないか少なくなるので、放出後の室内での静電ミスト濃度が高くなり、肌や毛髪の保水効果が増加する。 Further, the current value supplied to the Peltier module 37 is controlled independently of the rotation speed or current value of the second blower unit 21.
As a result, when the current value supplied to the Peltier module 37 is increased, the rotational speed or current value of the second blower unit 21 is not selectively changed or decreased, thereby reducing the generated electrostatic mist. Although the amount increases, the amount of the airflow released to the outside of the air purifier main body 1 does not change or decreases, so that the electrostatic mist concentration in the room after the discharge increases, and the water retention effect of the skin and hair increases.
