Note that the light irradiation unit 65 is not limited to an ultraviolet light emitting element, and an ultraviolet light source such as an ultraviolet lamp may be used.
[0034] Also, as shown in FIG. 9 showing the main body 50 with the panel 51 removed, an opening / closing door 70 for pressing the filter 64 so as not to come off from the filter housing portion 63 is arranged on the third surface 46 on the front side of the main body 50 so as to be openable and closable. The opening / closing door 70 is attached to the third surface 46 so as to be openable and closable by a hinge 71 provided on the first surface 43 side of the main body 50.
[0035] Figures 10 and 11 show the state in which the reflector 54 on the front side of the processing space 41 is omitted from Fig. 9 and the opening / closing door 70 is opened. By opening the opening / closing door 70, the front side of the filter storage portion 63 is opened from between the reflector 54 on the front side and the first light-shielding portion 60, and the filter 64 can be pulled out forward substantially perpendicular to the third surface 46 of the main body 50 (housing 40) for removal, or inserted and attached from the front substantially perpendicular to the third surface 46. On the third surface 46 of the main body 50, a pressing spring 72 that elastically engages and holds the filter 64 inserted into the filter storage portion 63 is attached.
[0036] At the peripheral portions of the upper and lower two sides at the periphery of the third surface 46 of the main body 50, wire attachment portions 74, which are a pair of housing-side wire attachment portions, are provided. One end of a wire 75 is attached to either the upper or lower wire attachment portion 74 by an attachment structure such as a screwing or a hook locking structure. The other end of the wire 75 is attached to the back side of the panel 51. As shown in Fig. 8, at the peripheral portions of the upper and lower two sides at the periphery of the back side of the panel 51, wire attachment portions 76, which are a pair of panel-side wire attachment portions, are provided. The other end of the wire 75 is attached to either the upper or lower wire attachment portion 76 by an attachment structure such as a screwing or a hook locking structure. For example, in the posture of the air treatment apparatus 11 attached to the wall surface w, the wire 75 is attached between the lower wire attachment portion 74 of the main body 50 and the lower wire attachment portion 76 of the panel 51, and when the panel 51 is removed, the panel 51 is suspended and supported by the wire 75.
[0037] Also, inside the frame between the outer surface of the main body 50 and the processing space 41, a fan drive unit for driving the fan 62, a lighting unit for lighting the light irradiation portion 65, a control unit for controlling the air treatment apparatus 11, etc. are arranged.
[0038] Also, as shown in Fig. 4, at one corner of the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40, a wiring lead-out portion 78 from which wiring for inputting external power is led out is provided.
[0039] In addition, a hook member 80 and a support member 81 for attaching to the attachment member 15 of the attachment device 12 attached to the wall surface w are attached to the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40. The hook member 80 is attached along the upper side edge of the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40, and the support member 81 is attached along the lower side edge of the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40.
[0040] The hook member 80 is a long metal plate and is formed in a substantially L-shaped cross section. The hook member 80 includes a housing attachment portion 83 attached to the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40, and a first protruding portion 84 bent from the upper side of the housing attachment portion 83.
[0041] At both longitudinal ends of the housing attachment portion 83, side portions 85 on both sides are bent so as to protrude from the attachment surface 47, be substantially parallel to the first surface 43 and the second surface 45 of the housing 40, and be substantially perpendicular to the attachment surface 47. The opposing interval between the side portions 85 on both sides is wider than the interval between the outer surfaces of the side plate portions 23 on both sides of the attachment member 15, and can be arranged outside the side plate portions 23 on both sides. Thread insertion holes 86 for screwing into the attachment holes 30 of the side plate portions 23 on both sides of the attachment member 15 are provided in the side portions 85 on both sides. A notch portion 87 cut across the first protruding portion 84 is provided at one longitudinal end side of the housing attachment portion 83.
[0042] The first protruding portion 84 protrudes from the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40 and is provided in a direction toward the outside of the housing 40 on the attachment surface 47 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the first surface 43, the second surface 45, and the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40. A plurality of hook portions 88 inserted into a hole 29 provided in the first attachment portion 21 of the attachment member 15 are provided at the tip side of the first protruding portion 84. The hook portions 88 are provided at three locations, i.e., the center in the left-right direction and the vicinity of both the left and right sides of the first protruding portion 84, and are formed in a long tongue shape in the left-right direction.
[0043] The support member 81 is a long metal plate formed in a substantially L-shaped cross-section. The support member 81 includes a housing attachment portion 90 attached to the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40, and a second protruding portion 91 bent from the lower side of the housing attachment portion 90.
[0044] The second protruding portion 91 protrudes from the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40, and is provided in a direction from the attachment surface 47 toward the outside of the housing 40 and below the first protruding portion 84 so as to be substantially perpendicular to the first surface 43, the second surface 45, and the attachment surface 47.
[0045] Then, the housing 40 is installed on the attachment member 15 such that the first protruding portion 84 is positioned above the first attachment portion 21 of the attachment member 15 provided on the wall surface w, the second protruding portion 91 is positioned above the second attachment portion 22, and the engaging portion 88 of the first protruding portion 84 is inserted into the hole 29 of the first attachment portion 21.
[0046] As shown in FIG. 6, the housing 40 can also be installed in an installation orientation in which the directions of the intake port 42 and the exhaust port 44 are opposite to the directions shown in FIGS. 1 and 4. In this case, for the housing 40 with the directions of the intake port 42 and the exhaust port 44 being opposite, the engaging member 80 is attached along the upper side edge of the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40, and the support member 81 is attached along the lower side edge of the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40. At this time, the engaging member 80 is configured such that the notch portion 87 faces the wiring lead-out portion 78 of the housing and does not interfere with the wiring led out from the wiring lead-out portion 78.
[0047] Next, the construction of the air treatment system 10 will be described.
[0048] Place the back side of the mounting member 15 of the mounting device 12 against the wall surface w and fix it to the wall surface w with screws. At this time, if a power line is drawn out from the wall surface w, draw the power line through either one of the wiring holes 27 of the wiring hole 26 of the mounting member 15 or both sides according to the position where the power line is drawn out, and electrically connect it to the terminal block 16. When using a cord with a plug, pass the cord through either one of the wiring holes 30 on both sides according to the position of the outlet to which the plug is to be connected, and electrically connect it to the terminal block 16.
[0049] Lift the air treatment device 11, and insert each hook portion 88 of the first protruding portion 84 protruding from the mounting surface 47 of the housing 40 into each hole 29 of the first mounting portion 21 of the mounting member 15 from above, and place it so as to hook the first protruding portion 84 above the first mounting portion 21. By inserting each hook portion 88 of the first protruding portion 84 into each hole 29 of the first mounting portion 21, the left-right position between the mounting member 15 and the housing 40 is positioned, and both side portions 85 on both sides of the hooking member 80 are arranged outside both side plate portions 23 of the mounting member 15.
[0050] As shown in FIG. 7, rotate the stay 17 to a forward protruding posture, and bring the lower side of the mounting surface 47 of the housing 40 into contact with the tip of the stay 17, so that the housing 40 is temporarily supported in an inclined posture with a gap opened between the lower side of the housing 40 and the mounting member 15. In this state, the work of electrically connecting the wiring drawn out from the wiring lead-out portion 78 of the housing 40 to the terminal block 16 can be easily performed.
[0051] After the wiring is completed, rotate the stay 17 to a storage posture in which it is stored in the space 25 of the mounting member 15, and rotate the lower side of the housing 40 toward the mounting member 15 with the portion where the first protruding portion 84 is hooked on the first mounting portion 21 as a fulcrum. By rotating with the upper side of the housing 40 as a fulcrum, as shown in FIG. 5, the second protruding portion 91 moves above the second mounting portion 22, and the second protruding portion 91 is placed and supported above the second mounting portion 22.
[0052] Both side portions 85 on both sides of the hanging member 80 are arranged outside the side plate portions 23 on both sides of the mounting member 15, and screws inserted through the screw insertion holes 86 in the side portions 85 on both sides are screwed into the mounting holes 30 in the side plate portions 23 on both sides to fix the hanging member 80 to the mounting member 15. As a result, each hanging portion 88 of the first protruding portion 84 is inserted into and hooked on each hole 29 of the first mounting portion 21 and fixed in that state.
[0053] When the housing 40 is attached to the attachment member 15, in the space between the attachment surface 47 of the housing 40 and the wall surface w and within the space 25 in the attachment member 15, the terminal block 16, the stay 17, wiring, etc. are accommodated.
[0054] Also, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, the air treatment device 11 can be installed in any installation orientation in which the directions of the air intake port 42 and the exhaust port 44 of the housing 40 are opposite.
[0055] In this case, the other end side of the wire 75 whose one end side is attached to the panel 51 is attached to the wire attachment portion 74 of the housing 40. However, since a pair of wire attachment portions 74 are provided on two opposing sides of the peripheral portion of the third surface 46 of the housing 40, it can be attached by changing which wire attachment portion 74 to attach to according to the installation orientation of the housing 40. For example, according to the installation orientation of the housing 40, the other end side of the wire 75 is attached to the wire attachment portion 74 arranged on the lower side. Also, since a pair of wire attachment portions 76 are provided on two opposing sides of the panel 51, it can be attached by changing which wire attachment portion 74 to attach to according to the orientation of the panel 51 corresponding to the installation orientation of the housing 40. For example, according to the installation orientation of the panel 51, one end side of the wire 75 is attached to the wire attachment portion 76 arranged on the lower side.
[0056] When external power is supplied to the air treatment device 11, the fan 62 rotates, and the external air is sucked in from the intake port 42 and circulated through the processing space 41 so as to be discharged from the exhaust port 44. The air sucked in from the intake port 42 is circulated through the processing space 41 through the first light shielding portion 60, the pre-filter 66 of the filter 64, and the photocatalytic filter 67. The air in the processing space 41 is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port 44 through the second light shielding portion 61 and the fan 62.
[0057] The pre-filter 66 captures foreign matters and dust sucked in together with the air from the intake port 42.
[0058] In the photocatalytic filter 67, by receiving ultraviolet rays or visible light, active enzymes and OH radicals are generated, and the generated active enzymes and OH radicals decompose odors for deodorization and odor elimination, or suppress the activities of viruses.
[0059] Ultraviolet rays are irradiated from the light irradiation unit 65 to the air flowing through the processing space 41, and the air sterilized by the irradiation of ultraviolet rays is discharged to the outside from the exhaust port 44.
[0060] Each of the light shielding portions 60 and 61 prevents the ultraviolet rays irradiated to the processing space 41 from leaking to the outside from the suction port 42 and the exhaust port 44.
[0061] Further, the filter 64 including the pre-filter 66 and the photocatalytic filter 67 can be removed from the housing 40 for cleaning and replacement. First, as shown in FIG. 9, the panel 51 is removed from the main body 50 to expose the third surface 46 of the main body 50. Next, as shown in FIG. 10, the opening / closing door 70 is opened, and then, as shown in FIG. 11, the filter 64 is pulled forward from the third surface 46 of the main body 50 for cleaning and replacement.
[0062] As shown in FIG. 10, the cleaned filter 64 or the replaced filter 64 is inserted into the filter storage portion 63 from the front into the third surface 46 of the main body 50. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, the opening / closing door 70 is closed, and then the panel 51 is attached to the main body 50.
[0063] In addition, since the panel 51 removed from the main body 50 is connected to the main body 50 by the wire 75, the removed panel 51 is supported in a state of being suspended from the main body 50 by the wire 75 without being placed on the floor surface or the like. Therefore, the maintenance work of the filter 64 can be easily performed.
[0064] And in the air treatment system 10 and the air treatment device 11 of the embodiment, the housing 40 is installed such that the first protruding portion 84 is positioned above the first mounting portion 21 of the mounting member 15 provided on the wall surface w, and the second protruding portion 91 is positioned above the second mounting portion 22. Therefore, it can be stably attached to the wall surface w.
[0065] Furthermore, since the engaging portion 88 of the first protruding portion 84 is inserted into the hole 29 of the first mounting portion 21, the first protruding portion 84 can be prevented from coming off the first mounting portion 21.
[0066] Furthermore, since it is installed so as to provide a space between the mounting surface 47 of the housing 40 and the wall surface w, wiring components, mounting components, wiring, etc. can be accommodated in the space, and the design can be improved.
[0067] Also, since the filter 64 can be pulled out from the third surface 46 which is the front side of the housing 40, the filter 64 can be removed even when the back side of the air treatment device 11 is installed on the wall surface w, and there is no need to be restricted in the installation of the air treatment device 11 for taking out the filter 64, or to move the air treatment device 11 for taking out the filter 64. An air treatment device 11 with high installation versatility can be provided.
[0068] Furthermore, a pair of wire mounting portions 74 are provided on two opposing sides of the peripheral portion of the third surface 46 of the main body 50, and the other end side of the wire 75 whose one end side is attached to the panel 51 can be changed to be attached to any of the wire mounting portions 74 according to the installation direction of the housing 40. Therefore, it can also cope with the change in the installation direction of the housing 40.
[0069] Further, as shown in FIG. 12, the air treatment apparatus 11 can also be used as a floor-standing type arranged on the floor surface. In this case, a stand 95 that supports the floor surface is used on the lower side of the housing 40, which is a vertical type with the air intake 42 facing downward and the exhaust port 44 facing upward. In the case of the floor-standing type, the hanging member 80 and the supporting member 81 for wall mounting, and the first ventilation cover 55 of the air intake 42 are not used. As shown in FIG. 13, floor-standing brackets 96 protruding from the stand 95 are fixed by screwing to both side surfaces of the metal internal structure with the side cover of the main body 50 removed.
[0070] The air treatment apparatus 11 can be compatible with both wall-mounted type and floor-standing type, and many components can be shared.
[0071] Note that the wall-mounted air treatment apparatus 11 and the floor-standing air treatment apparatus 11 may be configured separately, or may be changed between wall-mounted type and floor-standing type at the installation location of the air treatment apparatus 11. When it is possible to change between wall-mounted type and floor-standing type, the portion where the floor-standing bracket 96 at the lower part of the housing 40 is attached may be configured to be easily opened, closed, or removed so that the attachment or removal of the floor-standing bracket 96 is facilitated.
[0072] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention. These embodiments and their modifications are included in the scope and gist of the invention, and are included in the invention described in the claims and its equivalent scope.
