BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
An embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to FIGS.
[0012]
FIG. 1 is an exploded schematic perspective view of a heat evaporator 1 according to the present invention.
[0013]
The main body case 3 of the evaporator main body 1 is made of a synthetic resin material, and can be divided into a main body front case 3a and a main body rear case 3b. A mounting member 5 is provided in the main body case 3, and the three members of a front main body case 3 a, a main body rear case 3 b, and the mounting member 5 are inserted into a pair of left and right through holes 7, 7 provided in the mounting member 5. A screw receiving boss 9 extending from the case 3a penetrates, and is assembled to the screw receiving boss 9 integrally by a fastening screw 11 inserted from the case 3b side of the rear body.
[0014]
In the main body case 3 of the evaporator main body 1, a circular hole-shaped exhaust port 13 penetrating vertically at an upper central portion is provided, and a slit-shaped air intake port is provided at a lower portion on both left and right sides as viewed from the front body 3a. 15 are provided.

In this case, when the opening diameter of the exhaust port 13 is 10 mm or more, it is desirable to provide a lattice or a bar at least in the exhaust port 13 and to provide a means for preventing insertion of a finger.
[0017]
The total opening area of the air inlet 15 is set to be larger than the opening area of the exhaust port 13, so that an upward airflow from the air inlet 15 to the upper exhaust port 13 is reliably ensured.
[0018]
The attachment member 5 has a structure also serving as an attachment means for detachably attaching a liquid container 21 described later, and a heating unit 23 is provided at an upper part, and a power plug 25 is provided at a lower part.
[0019]
The heating unit 23 includes a heating control unit 29 and a heating element 31 which are mounted by mounting screws 27 and surrounded by an insulating material. The heating element 31 is a PTC heater formed in a ring shape as shown in FIG. 2, is arranged on the central axis X of the exhaust port 13, and controls the temperature to a temperature set by the pre-air heating control unit 29. It is being managed.
[0020]
As shown in FIG. 4, the power plug 25 is electrically connected to the heating element 31 and a negative ion generator 33 described later, and protrudes from the inside of the rear case 3b to the outside. In this case, the power plug 25 may be a cord type.
[0021]
Therefore, by inserting the power plug 25 into an outlet (not shown), the pilot lamp 35 provided on the mounting member 5 is turned on, and heat is applied to the heating element 31.
[0022]
The liquid container 21 is provided with a vertically long rod-shaped liquid absorbing core 39 for sucking up the chemical solution 37 therein, and is made of a heat-resistant material.
[0023]
In addition, a plurality of communication ports 43 are provided in the liquid suction plug 41 supporting the liquid absorption core 39 as shown in FIG. The liquid absorbent core 39 is covered by a cap 47 attached to the cap attaching portion 45 at the time of sale, and the cap 47 is detached and used when attached to the main body case 3.
[0024]
The liquid absorbent core 39 is set to have a length that penetrates through the liquid absorbent core insertion hole 49 provided in the mounting member 5 and slightly protrudes from the heat generating element 31 in a state surrounded by the heat generating element 31. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the liquid absorbent core 39 is positioned on the center line X of the exhaust port 13 by the liquid absorbent core positioning guide 51 rising upward from the peripheral edge of the liquid absorbent core insertion hole 49. Has become.

The cap mounting portion 45 is held on the central axis X of the exhaust port 13 by a cap mounting portion determining guide 53 that is vertically provided downward from the periphery of the liquid absorbent core insertion hole 49.
[0026]
The liquid container 21 is provided with a fitting projection 55 formed in an elliptical shape on the front surface, and the fitting projection 55 enters the main container front case 3a while forcibly expanding the front case 3a during mounting. When fitted into the fitting hole 57 provided in the front case 3a, the main body front case 3a is securely supported by the returning force of the main body front case 3a.
[0027]
The negative ion generating device 33 has an electron emitting negative ion generating electrode 59. In this case, a corona discharge type is also possible. The tip of the negative ion generating electrode 59 is set at a position lower than the tip of the liquid absorbing core 39 as shown in FIG. 2, and when the finger or the like is erroneously inserted into the inside, the negative ion generating electrode 59 is directly touched. In order to avoid such a problem, a structure in which double safety measures are taken together with a means for reducing the opening diameter of the exhaust port 13 is adopted.
[0028]
The negative ion generating electrode 59 is shaped such that the dimension d from the inner wall surface of the front case 3 is at least 5 mm away. This is an arrangement position where, for example, when the evaporator main body 1 is accidentally turned over, the leaked chemical liquid 37 accumulates on the inner wall surface and does not touch the liquid surface.
[0029]
The negative ion generating electrode 59 may be a means that divides the negative ion generating electrode 59 into a plurality of parts from a position where negative ions are generated, as shown in FIG. Alternatively, as shown by a dashed line in FIG. 3, a negative ion exhaust port 63 is provided so as to surround the heating element 31, and an independent negative ion generating electrode (not shown) is provided at a portion corresponding to the negative ion exhaust port 63. With the provision means, negative ions can be released over a wide range. The negative ion generating electrode 33 is fixedly supported on the inner wall surface directly above the power plug 25 in the main body case 3 as shown in FIG. By this. When the power socket 25 is inserted into an outlet (not shown), the center of gravity can be shifted toward the power socket 25 serving as support means for the evaporator main body 1, and the rotational moment M that tends to come off can be suppressed as small as possible. It becomes. In addition, power can be supplied in the shortest distance from the power socket 25, which is very preferable in terms of cord arrangement.
[0030]
According to the heating and evaporator configured as described above, by inserting the power plug 25 into an outlet (not shown), a stable supporting state is obtained, and heat is given to the liquid-absorbing wick 39 by the heating element 31, and vaporization, The evaporated chemical liquid 37 is diffused outside from the exhaust port 13.
[0031]
At the same time, negative ions from the negative ion generating electrode 39 are released and diffused from the exhaust port 13 to the outside. As a result, negative ions considered to be good for the body are released into the room.
[0032]
In this use, even if an attempt is made to insert a finger into the exhaust port 13, safety is ensured. On the other hand, even if the chemical liquid is accidentally turned over, for example, even if the leaked chemical liquid accumulates in the evaporator main body 1, the negative ion generating electrode 39 does not touch the liquid surface, thereby preventing the occurrence of insulation abnormality or the like. Is done.
[0033]
In this embodiment, the negative ion generator 33 is used to generate negative ions. For example, when the main body case 3 and the mounting member 5 are molded from a synthetic resin material, for example, Generates negative ions from the whole instrument by means of integrally mixing and molding a negative ion generating material such as tourmaline, which is said to generate negative ions, as a powder, or by coating the entire surface with a negative ion generating material. It is also possible to take such means as.
