Description

この発明は、ナノミストと負イオンを含んだ加湿空気を室内に供給するミスト発生装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a mist generator for supplying humidified air containing nanomist and negative ions into a room.

従来、この種の物に於いて、器具本体内に回転体と送風ファンとを同一軸上で軸支するミストモータを備え、ミストモータを駆動させることで回転体が回転駆動し貯水室内の水を汲み上げて飛散させ、衝突体に衝突させて発生したナノミストと負イオンを含んだ加湿空気を送風ファンによって室内に送風するミスト発生装置があった。   Conventionally, in this type of equipment, a mist motor that pivotally supports a rotating body and a blower fan on the same axis is provided in the instrument body, and the rotating body is driven to rotate by driving the mist motor, so that the water in the water storage chamber is There is a mist generating device that blows humidified air containing nano mist and negative ions generated by pumping up and scattering air and colliding with a colliding body into a room.

そして、この種のミスト発生装置の通常運転時は、検出した室内湿度が所定湿度以上だった場合はミストモータと送風モータの駆動を停止して運転待機状態となり、検出した室内湿度が所定湿度を未満だった場合はミストモータと送風モータの駆動を開始して運転を再開する過剰加湿防止制御を行っている。 During normal operation of this type of mist generating device, if the detected indoor humidity is equal to or higher than the predetermined humidity, the driving of the mist motor and the blower motor is stopped, and the operation is in a standby state.

しかし、この従来のものでは、室内の加湿レベルに関わらず通常運転開始から一定時間が経過する毎に除菌運転を行うので、運転待機状態から運転再開に切り替わって直ぐに除菌運転が実施されてしまう場合、通常運転が大幅に中断して室内の湿度が低くなってしまうという問題があった。 However, in this conventional system, the sterilization operation is performed every time a certain period of time has elapsed from the start of normal operation regardless of the humidification level in the room, so the sterilization operation is performed immediately after switching from the operation standby state to the operation restart. In such a case, there is a problem that the normal operation is significantly interrupted and the indoor humidity is lowered.

When the humidity detected by the humidity sensor is equal to or higher than the predetermined humidity, the drive of the mist motor and the blower motor is stopped and the operation is in a standby state. When the detected humidity is lower than the predetermined humidity, the drive of the mist motor and the blower motor is An over-humidification prevention control means that starts and resumes operation, and counts the duration of the normal operation, drains water in the water storage chamber every time a predetermined time is counted, and supplies water to the water storage chamber again. In the mist generating apparatus provided with the sterilization operation control means for instructing the start of the sterilization operation, the sterilization operation control means is configured to perform the sterilization when the count is equal to or longer than a predetermined time when the operation standby state is established. When the count is less than a predetermined time, the sterilization operation is not performed, and the predetermined time is shorter than the predetermined time and longer than half the predetermined time. It was the thing.

本発明によれば、前記運転待機状態になった時、前記除菌運転制御手段のカウントが所定時間経過していた場合は、前記除運転制御手段が前記除菌運転を開始させるので、運転待機状態が終了して運転を再開した直後に除菌運転が実施されることがなくなり加湿運転が大幅に中断されることがないので、室内の加湿状態を保つことができる。 According to the present invention, when entering the operation standby state, if the count of the sterilization operation control means has elapsed for a predetermined time, the sterilization operation control means starts the sterilization operation, Since the sterilization operation is not performed immediately after the state is finished and the operation is restarted, the humidification operation is not significantly interrupted, so that the humidification state in the room can be maintained.

ここで、加湿レベルについて詳述する。
加湿レベル制御により、加湿レベルが上昇すると送風温度が変動し、室内に送風される加湿空気に含まれる水分の割合が増加して、湿度の高い加湿空気を送風することで室内の湿度を増加させることができるため、加湿レベルがオートモードに選択されたら、湿度センサ27で検知された湿度に応じて加湿レベルを変化させることで、室内の湿度を所定の範囲内にすることができ、更に、送風温度が外気温度近傍となるように加熱ヒータ16のON/OFF状態を切り替えることから、室内の温度を大幅に変えることなく湿度を変化させることができるため、温風や冷風が使用者にあたることでの不快感を与えることがない。
Here, the humidification level will be described in detail.
When the humidification level rises due to the humidification level control, the blowing temperature fluctuates, the proportion of moisture contained in the humidified air blown into the room increases, and the humidity inside the room is increased by blowing humid humid air. Therefore, when the humidification level is selected in the auto mode, the humidity in the room can be set within a predetermined range by changing the humidification level according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27. Since the ON / OFF state of the heater 16 is switched so that the blast temperature is close to the outside air temperature, the humidity can be changed without significantly changing the indoor temperature, so that hot air or cold air hits the user. There is no discomfort.

また、風量レベルについて詳述する。
風量レベル1の状態ではミストモータ11を400rpm、送風モータ14を1000rpmの回転数で駆動させ、風量レベル2の状態ではミストモータ11を600rpm、送風モータ14を1200rpmの回転数で駆動させ、風量レベル3の状態ではミストモータ11を800rpm、送風モータ14を1400rpmの回転数で駆動させる。
The air volume level will be described in detail.
In the state of the air volume level 1, the mist motor 11 is driven at a rotational speed of 400 rpm and the blower motor 14 is driven at a rotational speed of 1000 rpm. In the state of the air volume level 2, the mist motor 11 is driven at a rotational speed of 600 rpm and the blower motor 14 is driven at a rotational speed of 1200 rpm. In state 3, the mist motor 11 is driven at a rotational speed of 800 rpm and the blower motor 14 is driven at a rotational speed of 1400 rpm.

風量レベル制御により、風量レベルが上昇すると貯水室8で発生するナノミストと負イオンを含んだ加湿空気量及び送風口2から室内に送風される加湿空気量が増加し、室内の湿度を増加させることができるため、風量レベルがオートモードに選択されたら、湿度センサ27で検知された湿度に応じて風量レベルを変化させることで、室内の湿度を所定の範囲内にすることができる。 By controlling the air flow level, the amount of humidified air containing nanomist and negative ions generated in the water storage chamber 8 when the air flow level rises and the amount of humidified air blown into the room from the air outlet 2 are increased, thereby increasing the indoor humidity. Therefore, when the air volume level is selected in the auto mode, the indoor air humidity can be kept within a predetermined range by changing the air volume level according to the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27.

また、操作部6の各スイッチ上部には各スイッチに対応したランプが備えられており、運転スイッチ28が操作されたら点灯する運転ランプ35と、通常運転が行われた時間が一定時間(ここでは4時間)継続したら開始する除菌運転時に点灯する除菌ランプ36と、加湿スイッチ29で設定された加湿レベルを1から3の数値とオートモードを示すAで表示する加湿レベルランプ37と、風量スイッチ30で設定された風量レベルを1から3の数値とオートモードを示すAで表示する風量レベルランプ38と、タイマー切替スイッチ31で通常運転の開始及び停止が設定されたらそれぞれのランプが点灯するタイマーランプ39と、エコモードスイッチ32が操作されエコモードが設定されたら点灯するエコモードランプ40と、時刻設定スイッチ33で設定された現在時刻を表示する時刻表示パネル41と、チャイルドロックスイッチ34が操作されたら点灯するチャイルドロックランプ42とが備えられている。 In addition, a lamp corresponding to each switch is provided above each switch of the operation unit 6, and an operation lamp 35 that is turned on when the operation switch 28 is operated, and a time during which normal operation is performed (here, a predetermined time) 4 hours) a sterilization lamp 36 that is turned on during a sterilization operation that starts, a humidification level lamp 37 that displays the humidification level set by the humidification switch 29 with a numerical value of 1 to 3 and A indicating the auto mode, and the air volume The air volume level lamp 38 that displays the air volume level set by the switch 30 as a numerical value from 1 to 3 and A indicating the auto mode, and when the start / stop of the normal operation is set by the timer selector switch 31, the respective lamps are lit.

The mist motor control means 44 for driving the motor at a predetermined rotational speed, the blower motor control means 45 for rotating the blower motor 14 at the predetermined rotational speed, and the water temperature in the water storage chamber 8 by switching the ON / OFF state of the heater 16. The heater control means 46 for controlling the time and the time during which the normal operation is continued are counted, and when the count reaches a certain time (4 hours in this case), the water in the water storage chamber 8 is drained and water is stored in the water storage chamber 8 again. The sterilization operation control means 47 for instructing the start of the sterilization operation to supply and resetting the count after the sterilization operation is completed, and the normal operation and the operation standby are switched to prevent the indoor humidity from excessively increasing. That an excess humidification prevention control means 48 is provided.

また、過剰加湿防止制御手段48の動作について詳述する。
通常運転中に湿度センサ27で検知した室内湿度が所定湿度以上(ここでは、設定湿度+10%以上)であると過剰加湿防止制御手段48が判断すると、過剰加湿防止制御手段48が、ミストモータ制御手段44でミストモータ11の駆動を停止させ、送風モータ制御手段45で送風モータ14の駆動を停止させ、通常運転を運転待機状態とする。
The operation of the excessive humidification prevention control means 48 will be described in detail.
If the excess humidification prevention control means 48 determines that the room humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27 during normal operation is equal to or higher than a predetermined humidity (here, set humidity + 10% or more), the excess humidification prevention control means 48 controls the mist motor. The drive of the mist motor 11 is stopped by the means 44, the drive of the blower motor 14 is stopped by the blower motor control means 45, and the normal operation is set to the operation standby state.

そして、湿度センサ27で検知した室内湿度が所定湿度未満(ここでは、設定湿度+10%未満)であると過剰加湿防止制御手段48が判断すると、過剰加湿防止制御手段48が、ミストモータ制御手段44でミストモータ11の駆動を開始させ、送風モータ制御手段45で送風モータ14の駆動を開始させ、通常運転を再開させる。 When the excess humidification prevention control means 48 determines that the room humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27 is less than the predetermined humidity (here, less than the set humidity + 10%), the excess humidification prevention control means 48 causes the mist motor control means 44 to Then, the driving of the mist motor 11 is started, the driving of the blower motor 14 is started by the blower motor control means 45, and the normal operation is resumed.

次に、この実施形態での運転開始から終了までの動作について図5のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。
まず、操作部6の運転スイッチ28が操作されたか、もしくはタイマー切替スイッチ31で設定された運転開始時刻になったら、制御部43は、排水弁23を開放して貯水室8内の水を排水し、水位センサ18でOFF信号が検知されたら、給水弁20を開放して貯水室8内を水で洗い流すクリーニング動作を行い、所定クリーニング時間経過したら排水弁23を閉止することで給水弁20から流入する水を貯水室8内に供給し、水位センサ18でON信号が検知されたら、所定量の水が貯水室8内に供給されたとして給水弁20を閉止する水入替モードを行う(ステップS101)。
Next, the operation from the start to the end of operation in this embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
First, when the operation switch 28 of the operation unit 6 is operated or the operation start time set by the timer changeover switch 31 is reached, the control unit 43 opens the drain valve 23 to drain the water in the water storage chamber 8. When the water level sensor 18 detects the OFF signal, the water supply valve 20 is opened to perform a cleaning operation for washing the water storage chamber 8 with water, and when the predetermined cleaning time has elapsed, the drain valve 23 is closed to close the water supply valve 20. When the inflowing water is supplied into the water storage chamber 8 and an ON signal is detected by the water level sensor 18, a water replacement mode is performed in which the water supply valve 20 is closed assuming that a predetermined amount of water has been supplied into the water storage chamber 8 (step). S101).

ステップS101の水入替モードが終了したら、制御部43は、温度センサ17での検知値に基づき、加熱ヒータ16を駆動させて貯水室8内の貯水温度が所定温度の範囲内(例えば、63℃から65℃の間)となるよう加熱ヒータ制御手段46で制御し、ミストモータ11及び送風モータ14が所定の回転数となるようミストモータ制御手段44及び送風モータ制御手段45で制御する立ち上げモードを行う(ステップS102)。 When the water replacement mode in step S101 is completed, the control unit 43 drives the heater 16 based on the detection value of the temperature sensor 17 so that the water storage temperature in the water storage chamber 8 is within a predetermined temperature range (for example, 63 ° C.). The heating mode is controlled by the heater control means 46 so that the mist motor 11 and the blower motor 14 are at a predetermined number of revolutions, and the start-up mode is controlled by the mist motor control means 44 and the blower motor control means 45. Is performed (step S102).

ステップS102の立ち上げモードが終了したら、制御部43は、加湿スイッチ29及び風量スイッチ30で設定された加湿レベルと風量レベルとに基づいて、ミストモータ11と送風モータ14とが所定の回転数で駆動するようミストモータ制御手段44と送風モータ制御手段45とで回転数を制御し、加熱ヒータ16のON/OFF状態を加熱ヒータ制御手段46で切り替えて制御することで、加湿レベルと風量レベルとに合わせた所定の温度範囲内にする通常運転を実行する通常運転モードを行う(ステップS103)。この通常運転モード時の動作については後で詳しく説明する。 When the start-up mode in step S102 ends, the control unit 43 causes the mist motor 11 and the blower motor 14 to rotate at a predetermined number of rotations based on the humidification level and the airflow level set by the humidification switch 29 and the airflow switch 30. The mist motor control means 44 and the blower motor control means 45 are controlled so as to drive, and the heater heater 16 is controlled by switching the ON / OFF state of the heater 16 so that the humidification level and the air flow level are controlled. A normal operation mode for executing a normal operation within a predetermined temperature range in accordance with is performed (step S103). The operation in the normal operation mode will be described in detail later.

そして、ステップS103の通常運転モードの終了条件(例えば、電源をOFFにする、タイマーがOFFになる)を満たしたら、制御部43は、ミストモータ11を停止させてから排水弁23を開弁して貯水室8内の水を排水し、所定排水時間経過したら給水弁20を開放して貯水室8内を洗浄してから排水弁23を閉止して貯水室8内に所定量だけ貯水する水入替運転を行い、加熱ヒータ16をON状態にして水を加熱することで殺菌を行う加熱殺菌運転を所定殺菌時間行い、所定殺菌時間経過後に貯水室8内を冷却して貯水室8内の水を排水する冷却運転を実行するクリーニングモードを行う(ステップS104)。 When the end condition of the normal operation mode in step S103 (for example, turning off the power supply or turning off the timer) is satisfied, the control unit 43 stops the mist motor 11 and then opens the drain valve 23. The water stored in the water storage chamber 8 is drained, and when a predetermined drainage time has elapsed, the water supply valve 20 is opened to clean the water storage chamber 8 and then the drain valve 23 is closed to store a predetermined amount of water in the water storage chamber 8. A replacement operation is performed, a heat sterilization operation for sterilizing by heating the heater 16 with the heater 16 turned on is performed for a predetermined sterilization time, and the water in the water storage chamber 8 is cooled by cooling the interior of the water storage chamber 8 after the predetermined sterilization time has elapsed. A cleaning mode for performing a cooling operation for draining water is performed (step S104).

ステップS104のクリーニングモードが終了したら、制御部43は、送風モータ14が所定の回転数(例えば、800rpm)で駆動するよう送風モータ制御手段45で制御し、貯水室8や送風通路15に送風して乾燥させることで菌の増殖を防止する乾燥モードを行い(ステップS105)、送風モータ14の駆動時間がクリーニング時間(例えば、3時間)を経過したら、送風モータ14を停止させて運転を終了する。 When the cleaning mode in step S104 is completed, the control unit 43 controls the blower motor 14 to be driven at a predetermined number of rotations (for example, 800 rpm) by the blower motor control unit 45, and blows air to the water storage chamber 8 and the blower passage 15. The drying mode for preventing the growth of bacteria by performing drying is performed (step S105). When the driving time of the blower motor 14 has passed the cleaning time (for example, 3 hours), the blower motor 14 is stopped and the operation is ended. .

次に、前記通常運転モードの除菌運転制御について図6のフローチャートに基づいて説明する。
まず、前記立ち上げモードが終了し、前記した通常運転が開始されると、除菌運転制御手段47のカウントをリセットする(S1)。そして、通常運転中に湿度センサ27で検知した湿度が所定湿度(ここでは、設定湿度+10%)未満であると判断し(S2がNO)、除菌運転制御手段47のカウントが一定時間(ここでは、4時間)以上であったら(S3がYES)、除菌運転制御手段47は、排水弁23を開放して貯水室8内の水を排水し、水位センサ18でOFF信号が検知されたら、給水弁20を開放して貯水室8内を水で洗い流すクリーニング動作を行い、所定クリーニング時間経過したら排水弁23を閉止することで給水弁20から流入する水を貯水室8内に供給し、水位センサ18でON信号が検知されたら、所定量の水が貯水室8内に供給されたとして給水弁20を閉止する除菌運転を行う(S4)。そして、除菌運転が終了したら、S1に戻って除菌運転制御手段47のカウンタをリセットする(S1)。
Next, the sterilization operation control in the normal operation mode will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.
First, when the start-up mode ends and the normal operation described above is started, the count of the sterilization operation control means 47 is reset (S1). Then, it is determined that the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27 during normal operation is less than a predetermined humidity (here, set humidity + 10%) (S2 is NO), and the count of the sterilization operation control means 47 is constant (here) Then, if it is 4 hours) or more (S3 is YES), the sterilization operation control means 47 opens the drain valve 23 to drain the water in the water storage chamber 8, and the OFF signal is detected by the water level sensor 18. Then, the water supply valve 20 is opened to perform a cleaning operation in which the inside of the water storage chamber 8 is washed with water, and when the predetermined cleaning time has elapsed, the drain valve 23 is closed to supply the water flowing in from the water supply valve 20 into the water storage chamber 8. When the ON signal is detected by the water level sensor 18, a sterilization operation is performed to close the water supply valve 20 assuming that a predetermined amount of water has been supplied into the water storage chamber 8 (S4). When the sterilization operation is completed, the process returns to S1 to reset the counter of the sterilization operation control means 47 (S1).

また、通常運転中に湿度センサ27で検知した室内湿度が所定湿度(ここでは、設定湿度+10%)以上であることを判断すると(S2がYES)、過剰加湿防止制御手段48はミストモータ制御手段44でミストモータ11の駆動を停止させ、送風モータ制御手段45で送風モータ14の駆動を停止させ、運転待機状態となる(S5)。 If it is determined that the indoor humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27 during normal operation is equal to or higher than a predetermined humidity (here, set humidity + 10%) (YES in S2), the excessive humidification prevention control means 48 is a mist motor control means. The driving of the mist motor 11 is stopped at 44, the driving of the blower motor 14 is stopped by the blower motor control means 45, and an operation standby state is set (S5).

運転待機状態となった時、除菌運転制御手段47のカウントが所定時間(ここでは、3時間)経過していた場合は(S6がYES)、除菌運転制御手段47は、排水弁23を開放して貯水室8内の水を排水し、水位センサ18でOFF信号が検知されたら、給水弁20を開放して貯水室8内を水で洗い流すクリーニング動作を行い、所定クリーニング時間経過したら排水弁23を閉止することで給水弁20から流入する水を貯水室8内に供給し、水位センサ18でON信号が検知されたら、所定量の水が貯水室8内に供給されたとして給水弁20を閉止する除菌運転を行う(S7)。除菌運転終了後、除菌運転制御手段47のカウンタをリセットする(S8)。 If the count of the sterilization operation control means 47 has elapsed for a predetermined time (here, 3 hours) when the operation standby state is entered (YES in S6), the sterilization operation control means 47 turns the drain valve 23 off. When the water level sensor 18 detects an OFF signal, the water supply valve 20 is opened and a cleaning operation is performed in which the water in the water storage chamber 8 is washed with water. By closing the valve 23, the water flowing in from the water supply valve 20 is supplied into the water storage chamber 8, and when an ON signal is detected by the water level sensor 18, it is assumed that a predetermined amount of water has been supplied into the water storage chamber 8. A sterilization operation for closing 20 is performed (S7). After the sterilization operation is completed, the counter of the sterilization operation control means 47 is reset (S8).

また、運転待機状態となった時、除菌運転制御手段47のカウントが所定時間(ここでは3時間)未満の場合は(S6がNO)、除菌運転制御手段47は除菌運転を行わず、運転待機状態を維持する。 If the count of the sterilization operation control means 47 is less than a predetermined time (here, 3 hours) when the operation standby state is entered (NO in S6), the sterilization operation control means 47 does not perform the sterilization operation. , Maintain the operation standby state.

そして、湿度センサ27で検知された室内湿度が所定湿度(ここでは、設定湿度+10%)未満であることを判断すると(S9がYES)、制御部43は、ミストモータ制御手段44でミストモータ11の駆動を開始し、送風モータ制御手段45で送風モータ14の駆動を開始させて運転を再開させる(S10)。 When it is determined that the indoor humidity detected by the humidity sensor 27 is less than a predetermined humidity (here, set humidity + 10%) (YES in S9), the control unit 43 causes the mist motor 11 to operate with the mist motor control means 44. Is started, and the driving of the blower motor 14 is started by the blower motor control means 45 to restart the operation (S10).

このように、運転待機状態となった時、除菌運転制御手段47のカウントが所定時間(ここでは3時間)だった場合は、除菌運転制御手段47のカウントが一定時間(ここでは4時間)になるのを待たずに、運転待機状態中に除菌運転を行うことで、通常運転が再開したあとで直ぐに除菌運転が開始されて運転が大幅に中断されることがなくなり、室内の加湿状態を保つことができる。 As described above, when the count of the sterilization operation control means 47 is a predetermined time (here, 3 hours) when the operation standby state is entered, the count of the sterilization operation control means 47 is constant for a certain time (here, 4 hours). By sterilizing operation during the standby state without waiting for), the sterilization operation is started immediately after normal operation is resumed, and the operation is not significantly interrupted. A humidified state can be maintained.
