[0059] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the following embodiments are an example of embodying the present invention and do not limit the technical scope of the present invention. In addition, for all the drawings, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description after the second time is omitted. And, in each drawing, details of parts not directly related to the embodiments of the present invention are omitted from the description.

[0060] Refer to Figures 1 to 3B The schematic structure of a humidifying device 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1Fig. (a) is a perspective view of the humidifying device 1 when viewed from above. Figure 1 Fig. (b) is Figure 1 a partial enlarged view of the bottom surface 2 and a part of the panel portion 6 in Fig. (a) Figure 2A Fig. is a side view of the humidifying device 1 when viewed from the suction port 11 side. Figure 2B Fig. is a side view of the humidifying device 1 when viewed from the side surface 4a side. In addition, Figure 3A Fig. is a bottom view of the humidifying device 1 with the panel portion 6 removed when viewed from vertically below. Figure 3B Fig. is a view of the humidifying device 1 with the panel portion 6 removed when viewed from obliquely below.

[0061] The humidifying device 1 is a device that inhales the air in the target room, humidifies the inhaled air, and then blows it back into the room, thereby humidifying the target room. The humidifying device 1 is fixed to the ceiling of the target room. For example, the humidifying device 1 is installed in such a state that a part of the bottom surface 2 side described later is exposed in the room and buried in the ceiling. The humidifying device 1 includes a housing 5, a panel portion 6, a supply air fan 34 (see Figure 5A ) and a liquid atomizing device 33 (see Figure 5A , Figure 5B ). Among them, the details of the supply air fan 34 and the liquid atomizing device 33 will be described later.

[0062] The housing 5 is the outer contour of the humidifying device 1 configured as a hollow box shape. The supply air fan 34 and the liquid atomizing device 33 are arranged inside the housing 5. The housing 5 has a bottom surface 2, a top surface 3, side surfaces 4, a filter 35, a suction port 11, a suction air passage 41, a blowout port 12, a shielding wall 13, a panel support portion 14, a fastening wall 15, a maintenance portion 17, and a locking portion 21.

[0063] The bottom surface 2 is one of the surfaces constituting the box shape of the housing 5 and is provided as a rectangular plate.

[0064] The top surface 3 is located above the bottom surface 2 and is a surface opposite to the bottom surface 2. The top surface 3 is provided as a rectangular plate smaller than the bottom surface 2.

[0065] The side surfaces 4 are surfaces connected to the bottom surface 2 and the top surface 3, and are provided with a plurality of rectangular plate-like side surfaces. In the present embodiment, four side surfaces 4 are provided. Hereinafter, one of the four side surfaces 4 will be referred to as a side surface 4a, and the surface opposite to the side surface 4a will be referred to as a relative surface 4b. In addition, the side surface 4 on the suction port 11 side among the remaining two side surfaces 4 will be referred to as a suction port side side surface 4c, and the side surface 4 on the blowout port 11 side will be referred to as a blowout port side side surface 4d.

[0066] In addition, the bottom surface 2 in the present embodiment is a rectangular plate shape that is larger than the top surface 3 and extends more outward than all the side surfaces 4. Hereinafter, the portion of the bottom surface 2 that is closer to the inside than the side surface 4 is referred to as the inner peripheral portion 2a, and the portion of the bottom surface 2 that is closer to the outside than the side surface 4 is referred to as the flange portion 2b.

[0067] The filter 35 is a component that purifies the air inhaled into the interior of the housing 5. The filter 35 is provided on the suction port side side surface 4c. The filter 35 uses, for example, a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter and captures particles with a particle size of 0.3 μm or more at 99.97% or more.

[0068] The suction port 11 is a rectangular opening provided in the flange portion 2b and near the suction port side side surface 4c. In other words, the suction port 11 is located on the bottom surface 2 at a position outside the suction port side side surface 4c.

[0069] The suction air passage 41 is an air passage that guides the indoor air inhaled from the suction port 11 to the interior of the housing 5. The suction air passage 41 connects the suction port 11 provided in the flange portion 2b and the filter 35 provided on the suction port side side surface 4c.

[0070] The blowout port 12 is a rectangular opening that blows out the humidified air, that is, the humidified air, inside the housing 5, and two are provided in the inner peripheral portion 2a. Here, the inner peripheral portion 2a is the portion of the bottom surface 2 that is closer to the inside than the side surface 4. Therefore, the two blowout ports 12 are located on the bottom surface 2 at a position inside the one side surface 4a, the opposite surface 4b, the suction port side side surface 4c, and the blowout port side side surface 4d. Here, as Figure 3B shown, one of the two blowout ports 12 is arranged near the one side surface 4a, and the other blowout port 12 is arranged near the opposite surface 4b.

[0071] The shielding wall 13 is a wall for suppressing the occurrence of a short circuit in which the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 is inhaled into the suction port 11. In other words, the shielding wall 13 is located between the suction port 11 and the blowout port 12 and is a component that suppresses the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 from being inhaled into the suction port 11.

[0072] The shielding wall 13 in the present embodiment is located on the same plane as the suction port side side surface 4c and extends vertically downward from the bottom surface 2. As Figure 2A shown, the front end of the shielding wall 13 abuts against the panel portion 6. In addition, one end in the long side direction (length direction) of the shielding wall 13 is located on substantially the same plane as the one side surface 4a. On the other hand, the other end in the long side direction of the shielding wall 13 is located on substantially the same plane as the opposite surface 4b.

[0073] Here, the suction port 11 is located at the flange portion 2b. The air outlet 12 is located at the inner peripheral portion 2a. The shielding wall 13 is located on the same plane as the suction port side side surface 4c which is the boundary between the flange portion 2b and the inner peripheral portion 2a. In other words, the shielding wall 13 is between the suction port 11 and the air outlet 12 on the bottom surface 2, thereby separating the suction port 11 from the air outlet 12. By adopting such a structure, since the humidified air blown out from the air outlet 12 is blocked by the shielding wall 13, the occurrence of a short circuit being sucked into the suction port 11 can be suppressed.

[0074] In addition, the ends in the long side direction of the shielding wall 13 do not have to be exactly in the same plane as the side surface 4a and the opposite side surface 4b respectively. For example, a state where one end in the long side direction of the shielding wall 13 is located outside the side surface 4a, or a state where the other end in the long side direction of the shielding wall 13 is located outside the opposite side surface 4b is also included in being in substantially the same plane. In other words, the length of the shielding wall 13 is at least the length connecting the side surface 4a and the opposite side surface 4b, as long as the occurrence of a short circuit where the humidified air blown out from the air outlet 12 is sucked into the suction port 11 can be suppressed.

[0075] In addition, in the present embodiment, the shielding wall 13 is located on the same plane as the suction port side side surface 4c, but is not limited to this method. As long as the suction port 11 and the air outlet 12 are separated by the shielding wall 13, the shielding wall 13 can be set arbitrarily.

[0076] The panel support portion 14 is a component that supports the panel portion 6 in a manner that allows the panel portion 6 to rotate. The panel support portion 14 protrudes vertically downward from the flange portion 2b of the bottom surface 2, and the protruding front end bends upward. The panel support portion 14 is formed in a substantially U shape (including a U shape) in a side view when viewed from the side surface 4a side. One panel support portion 14 is provided at each of the four corners in the rectangular shape of the bottom surface 2. Hereinafter, the two panel support portions 14 provided near the suction port side side surface 4c among the four panel support portions 14 are referred to as the suction port side panel support portions 14a. On the other hand, the two panel support portions 14 provided near the air outlet side side surface 4d are referred to as the air outlet side panel support portions 14b. The protruding front ends of the suction port side panel support portions 14a bend away from the suction port side side surface 4c. In addition, the protruding front ends of the air outlet side panel support portions 14b bend away from the air outlet side side surface 4d.

[0077] The fastening wall 15 is a wall for fixing to the housing 5 in such a manner that the panel portion 6 does not rotate, and a pair of them are provided on the side surface 4a side and the opposite surface 4b side. One of the fastening walls 15 in the present embodiment is located on the same plane of the side surface 4a, and the other is located on the same plane of the opposite surface 4b. In other words, the pair of fastening walls 15 face each other. The fastening wall 15 extends downward vertically from the bottom surface 2, and the extended front end abuts against the panel portion 6. A circular hole 15a for fastening the panel portion 6 to the housing 5 is provided at the center of the fastening wall 15. Details of the engagement between the housing 5 and the panel portion 6 will be described later. The fastening wall 15 has a ventilation opening 16.

[0078] The ventilation opening 16 is a rectangular opening provided in the fastening wall 15. Two ventilation openings 16 are provided in each of the pair of fastening walls 15 in the present embodiment. By providing the ventilation opening 16 in the fastening wall 15, humidified air can also be blown out from the side surface 4a side and the opposite surface 4b side, and it is easy to diffuse the humidified air into the room.

[0079] The maintenance part 17 is an openable and closable rectangular opening provided in the inner peripheral part 2a of the bottom surface 2. The maintenance part 17 is located vertically below the air supply fan 34, which will be described later, and near the shielding wall 13 of the bottom surface 2.

[0080] The locking part 21 is a component for fixing the humidifying device 1 to the ceiling and is locked to a suspension bolt suspended from a position higher than the ceiling. Two locking parts 21 are respectively installed at two places on the suction port side surface 4c and the blowout port side surface 4d.

[0081] The panel portion 6 is a component for rectifying the humidified air blown downward vertically from the blowout port 12 into the horizontal direction along the ceiling. The panel portion 6 is formed in a rectangular plate shape facing the bottom surface 2 and is located vertically below the bottom surface 2. The panel portion 6 is sized to cover at least both one blowout port 12 and the other blowout port 12. With such a structure, the humidified air blown downward vertically from the blowout port 12 can be reliably rectified into the horizontal direction.

[0082] In addition, the panel unit 6 can also be installed separately. In this embodiment, the panel unit 6 is divided into two for installation. Hereinafter, the panel unit 6 located vertically below the suction port 11 and the maintenance unit 17 is referred to as the suction port side panel unit 6a. On the other hand, the panel unit 6 located vertically below the blowout port 12 is referred to as the blowout port side panel unit 6b. In this way, by dividing the panel unit 6 into two, the maintainability can be improved. For example, when an operator enters the maintenance unit 17, only the suction port side panel unit 6a needs to be removed. Therefore, compared with the case of loading and unloading the undivided panel unit 6, the weight is halved, and the burden on the operator can be reduced. In addition, in the panel unit 6, a sound insulation material (not shown) can also be provided on the surface opposite to the bottom surface 2, that is, the surface of the housing opposite to the bottom surface 2. By providing the sound insulation material, the sound generated inside the housing can be suppressed from spreading to the indoor side. The panel unit 6 includes a panel rotation shaft 7 and a fastening portion 8.

[0083] The panel rotation shaft 7 is a rotation shaft for engaging the panel unit 6 with the panel support portion 14 in such a manner that the panel unit 6 can rotate. The panel rotation shaft 7 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and one is provided at each of two adjacent corners among the four rectangular corners of the panel unit 6. Since the panel unit 6 in this embodiment is divided into two, two panel rotation shafts 7 corresponding to the suction port side panel support portion 14a are provided on the suction port side panel unit 6a. On the other hand, two panel rotation shafts 7 corresponding to the blowout port side panel support portion 14b are provided on the blowout port side panel unit 6b. In addition, as long as the panel rotation shaft 7 can be rotatably engaged with the panel support portion 14 provided on the housing 5, it can be arbitrarily provided. For example, it can also be that one side of the rectangle of the panel unit 6 is processed into a cylindrical shape to make it the shape of a single panel rotation shaft 7 and engage with the two panel support portions 14 at the same time.

[0084] The fastening portion 8 is a component for fixing the panel unit 6 to the housing 5 in such a manner that the panel unit 6 does not rotate. The fastening portion 8 extends from the panel unit 6 toward the bottom surface 2 side and is provided in a plate shape parallel to the fastening wall 15. One fastening portion 8 is provided at each of the two corners on the opposite side of the four rectangular corners of the panel unit 6 from the two corners where the panel rotation shaft 7 is provided. In other words, a pair of fastening portions 8 are provided on the panel unit 6, and the fastening portions 8 face each other. In addition, a round hole 8a for fastening the panel unit 6 to the housing 5 is provided at the center of the fastening portion 8. The fastening portion 8 abuts against the outer surface of the fastening wall 15 in a state where the panel unit 6 is fixed to the housing 5 (a state where the panel unit 6 is parallel to the bottom surface 2).

[0085] Here, with reference to Figure 4A 、 Figure 4B , the engagement between the housing 5 and the panel unit 6 will be described. Figure 4AThis is a schematic diagram showing the steps for installing the panel portion 6 on the housing 5. Taking the case of installing the suction port side panel portion 6a as an example, the installation can be carried out in the same steps when installing the blow-out port side panel portion 6b. Figure 4A This shows the action of engaging the panel rotation shaft 7 with the suction port side panel support portion 14a. Additionally, Figure 4B This shows the step of fixing the suction port side panel portion 6a to the housing 5 in such a way that the suction port side panel portion 6a does not rotate.

[0086] First, with the portion of the suction port side panel portion 6a where the panel rotation shaft 7 is disposed being the upper side, the suction port side panel portion 6a is lifted from the lower oblique side of the housing 5, and the panel rotation shaft 7 is engaged with the suction port side panel support portion 14a (refer to Figure 4A ). The suction port side panel support portion 14a is in a substantially U-shaped (including U-shaped) configuration, and the panel rotation shaft 7 is in a cylindrical shape. Thus, the engaged suction port side panel portion 6a is in a state of being rotatably supported by the housing 5.

[0087] Next, the suction port side panel portion 6a is rotated so as to approach the bottom surface 2, making the bottom surface 2 parallel to the suction port side panel portion 6a (refer to Figure 4B ). At this time, the shielding wall 13 and the fastening wall 15 come into contact with the suction port side panel portion 6a, resulting in a state where the suction port 11 and the blow-out port 12 are separated. Additionally, the fastening portion 8 comes into contact with the outer surface of the fastening wall 15, resulting in a state where the circular hole 8a provided in the fastening portion 8 and the circular hole 15a provided in the fastening wall 15 overlap respectively.

[0088] Next, by fastening the fastening portion 8 and the fastening wall 15 with screws or the like, the suction port side panel portion 6a and the housing 5 are fixed in a non-rotating state. Through such steps (process), the panel portion 6 can be simply installed on the housing 5.

[0089] Next, referring to Figure 5A 、 Figure 5B the internal structure of the humidifying device 1 will be described. Figure 5A This is Figure 3A the A-A cross-sectional view of Figure 5B This is Figure 3A the B-B cross-sectional view of

[0090] The housing 5 has a supply air space 32, a humidifying space 31, and a blown air passage 40 inside the housing 5. Here, the supply air space 32 and the humidifying space 31 communicate with each other in a ventilable manner.

[0091] The supply air space 32 is a space for sending the air that has flowed into the interior of the housing 5 through the filter 35 to the humidifying space 31. A supply air fan 34 is disposed in the supply air space 32.

[0092] The air supply fan 34 is a fan that guides the air inhaled from the air intake port 11 into the air supply space 32 to the humidifying space 31. The air supply fan 34 is vertically above the maintenance section 17. The air supply fan 34 uses, for example, a Sirocco fan.

[0093] The humidifying space 31 is a space for humidifying the air inhaled into the interior of the housing 5. A liquid atomizing device 33 is arranged in the humidifying space 31.

[0094] The liquid atomizing device 33 is a device for humidifying the air in the humidifying space 31. The liquid atomizing device 33 includes a water storage section 33a, a water suction pipe 33b, and a collision wall 33c.

[0095] The water storage section 33a is formed in a mortar shape and stores the water supplied from the outside. The water storage section 33a is arranged below the liquid atomizing device 33.

[0096] The water suction pipe 33b has a hollow conical shape. The front end of the conical shape of the water suction pipe 33b facing the bottom surface of the water storage section 33a is open. The water suction pipe 33b is connected to a rotary motor (not shown). By rotating the water suction pipe 33b, the water stored in the water storage section 33a is pumped from the lower end side to the upper end side while rotating along the inner wall surface of the water suction pipe 33b due to centrifugal force. An opening is provided on the wall surface of the upper end side of the water suction pipe 33b. The pumped-up water is released as water droplets from the opening on the wall surface under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation.

[0097] The collision wall 33c is a wall that annularly surrounds the water suction pipe 33b. The water droplets released from the water suction pipe 33b collide with the collision wall 33c, whereby the water droplets can be further miniaturized.

[0098] In this way, by miniaturizing the water droplets, the liquid atomizing device 33 humidifies the air in the humidifying space 31.

[0099] The blowing air passage 40 is an air passage that connects the humidifying space 31 to the air outlet 12, and guides the humidified air, that is, the humidified air in the humidifying space 31, into the room. The blowing air passage 40 is an air passage that is bent in an S shape, and reduces the wind speed of the humidified air so that the humidified air does not flow violently into the room. The humidified air after passing through the blowing air passage 40 is blown out vertically downward from the air outlet 12 and collides with the panel section 6. The humidified air that has collided with the panel section 6 is blown out into the room in the horizontal direction along the ceiling. In addition, since there are two air outlets 12 provided on the bottom surface 2 in the present embodiment, there are also two blowing air passages 40.

[0100] Here, as Figure 5AAs shown, the suction port 11 and the blowout port 12 are separated by the shielding wall 13. Additionally, a ventilation opening 16 is provided in the fastening wall 15. Therefore, the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 is rectified by the panel portion 6 into the horizontal direction and blown out in the direction of three sides other than the side surface 4c on the suction port side. By adopting such a structure, the occurrence of a short circuit from the blowout port 12 to the suction port 11 can be suppressed, and the humidified air can be diffused into the room. In other words, when the suction port 11 sucks air from below the humidifying device 1 and the blowout port 12 blows the humidified air again below the humidifying device 1, the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 can be prevented from being sucked into the suction port 11. (Summary of the Invention)

[0102] The humidifying device of the present invention includes: a box-shaped housing 5 having a bottom surface 2 with a suction port 11 and a blowout port 12, a top surface 3 located above the bottom surface 2 and opposite to the bottom surface 2, and a plurality of side surfaces 4 connecting the bottom surface 2 and the top surface 3; a liquid miniaturizing device 33 for humidifying the air inhaled into the interior of the housing 5; and a plate-shaped panel portion 6 located vertically below the housing 5 and opposite to the bottom surface 2. The housing 5 includes a shielding wall 13 that extends vertically downward from the bottom surface 2, and the front end of the extended shielding wall 13 abuts against the panel portion 6. The shielding wall 13 is located between the suction port 11 and the blowout port 12 to prevent the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 from being sucked into the suction port 11.

[0103] According to such a structure, the suction port 11 and the blowout port 12 are separated by the shielding wall 13, so the occurrence of a short circuit in which the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 is sucked into the suction port 11 can be suppressed. In other words, when the suction port 11 sucks air from below the humidifying device 1 and the blowout port 12 blows the humidified air again below the humidifying device 1, the humidified air blown out from the blowout port 12 can be prevented from being sucked into the suction port 11.

[0104] Alternatively, the shielding wall 13 may be configured such that one end in the long side direction orthogonal to the vertical downward direction is located on substantially the same plane as one side surface 4a which is one of the plurality of side surfaces 4 of the housing 5, and the other end in the long side direction is located on substantially the same plane as the opposite side surface 4b opposite to the one side surface 4a.

[0105] According to such a structure, the shielding wall 13 has a length that at least connects the one side surface 4a and the opposite side surface 4b, so the suction port 11 and the blowout port 12 can be reliably separated.

[0106] Alternatively, it may be configured such that there are two blowout ports 12 provided on the bottom surface 2, one blowout port 12 is arranged on the side of the one side surface 4a, and the other blowout port 12 is arranged on the side of the opposite side surface 4b, and the panel portion 6 is located at least vertically below the one blowout port 12 and the other blowout port 12.

[0107] With such a structure, it is possible to ensure that the air blown downward vertically from the two air outlets 12 collides with the panel portion 6 and is rectified into the horizontal direction. In addition, since one is arranged on the side surface 4a side and the other is arranged on the opposite surface 4b side, the humidified air can be evenly diffused into the room.

[0108] Alternatively, the housing 5 may be configured to include a panel support portion 14 that protrudes downward vertically from the bottom surface 2 and the protruding front end is bent upward to form a substantially U-shape (including the U-shape), and the panel portion 6 includes a panel rotation shaft 7 that fixes the panel portion 6 to the housing 5 in such a manner that the panel portion 6 engaged with the panel support portion 14 is rotatable.

[0109] With such a structure, the panel portion 6 can be simply mounted on the housing 5.

[0110] Alternatively, the panel portion 6 may be configured to have a housing opposite surface facing the bottom surface 2 of the housing 5 and a sound insulation material provided on the housing opposite surface.

[0111] With such a structure, the sound generated inside the housing 5 can be received by the panel portion 6, so that the sound propagation into the room can be suppressed.

[0112] As described above, the present invention has been described based on the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to any of the above embodiments, and various modifications and variations can be easily conceived without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0113] In the humidifying device 1 of the present embodiment, water made fine by the liquid miniaturizing device 33 is blown out, but it is not limited thereto. For example, it may be configured to miniaturize and blow out hypochlorous acid water using the liquid miniaturizing device 33. Thus, even when the humidifying device 1 of the present invention mode functions as a space purification for purifying the air in the room, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of short circuits can be achieved.

[0114] The humidifying device of the present invention is useful as a ceiling-embedded type humidifying device for humidifying the interior of a room.
