FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an air cleaning device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the air cleaning device. The air purifying apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention includes a main body case 3, an air purifying unit 4, a humidifying unit 5, and an air blowing unit 6. Here, the main body case 3 has an intake port 1 and an exhaust port 2. The air cleaning unit 4 is provided in the main body case 3. The air blower 6 sucks indoor air from the air intake 1 into the main body case 3 through the air purifier 4, and is provided in the air path from the air intake 1 to the air outlet 2. Further, the front decorative plate 7 is provided on the front surface of the main body case 3. The humidifying unit 5 is provided on the downstream side of the air cleaning unit 4 in the air passage.
　吸気口１は、本体ケース３の両側面に設けた第１の吸気口１ａと、本体ケース３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１ｂとから形成されている。排気口２は、本体ケース３の上面に設けられている。なお第１の吸気口１ａは、本体ケース３の側面のどちらかに１つだけでもよい。 The air inlet 1 is formed of a first air inlet 1 a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 3 and a second air inlet 1 b provided in the lower front portion of the main body case 3. The exhaust port 2 is provided on the upper surface of the main body case 3. Note that only one first intake port 1 a may be provided on either side of the main body case 3.
　空気清浄部４は、縦長箱形状の空気清浄フィルター４ａから構成され、濾材が蛇腹形状に折られている。そして空気清浄部４は、第１の吸気口１ａおよび第２の吸気口１ｂの風路風下側の前面化粧板７に対向する位置に設けられている。 The air purification unit 4 is composed of a vertically long box-shaped air purification filter 4a, and the filter medium is folded in a bellows shape. And the air purifying part 4 is provided in the position which opposes the front decorative board 7 of the air path leeward side of the 1st inlet 1a and the 2nd inlet 1b.
　加湿部５は、風路において空気清浄部４の風下側に設けられている。すなわち加湿部５は、風路のうち空気清浄部４と送風部６との間に備えられている。加湿部５は、水槽５ａと、加湿フィルター部５ｂと、加湿フィルター枠部５ｄと、回転部とから形成されている。ここで水槽５ａは、一定量の水が溜まった略椀形状である。加湿フィルター部５ｂは、水槽５ａの水に周縁部の一部が常に浸漬した円板状である。加湿フィルター枠部５ｄは、加湿フィルター部５ｂを固定し外周部に給水部５ｃを備えた略円環形状である。回転部は、加湿フィルター枠部５ｄを回転させる。 The humidification unit 5 is provided on the leeward side of the air cleaning unit 4 in the air passage. That is, the humidification part 5 is provided between the air purification part 4 and the ventilation part 6 among the air paths. The humidification part 5 is formed from the water tank 5a, the humidification filter part 5b, the humidification filter frame part 5d, and the rotation part. Here, the water tank 5a has a substantially bowl shape in which a certain amount of water is accumulated. The humidifying filter portion 5b has a disk shape in which a part of the peripheral portion is always immersed in the water of the water tank 5a. The humidifying filter frame portion 5d has a substantially annular shape in which the humidifying filter portion 5b is fixed and a water supply portion 5c is provided on the outer peripheral portion. The rotating part rotates the humidifying filter frame part 5d.
　このような構成における空気清浄および、加湿動作について説明する。 The air cleaning and humidifying operation in such a configuration will be described.
　水タンク５ｅより水槽５ａに、常時一定の水位となるように水が供給される。この水に加湿部の加湿フィルター枠部５ｄの給水部５ｃと、加湿フィルター部５ｂの一部とが常時浸かった状態となる。 Water is supplied from the water tank 5e to the water tank 5a so that the water level is always constant. The water supply part 5c of the humidification filter frame part 5d of the humidification part and a part of the humidification filter part 5b are always immersed in this water.
　ここで回転部によって加湿フィルター枠部５ｄを回転させることにより、水を汲んだ給水部５ｃと加湿フィルター部５ｂとが回転する。そして給水部５ｃによって汲み上げられた水が給水部５ｃ上部付近において滴り落ち、加湿フィルター部５ｂを湿らせる。つまり回転部が加湿フィルター枠部５ｄを回転させ続けることにより、加湿フィルター部５ｂは常時水を保持した状態に保たれる。 Here, by rotating the humidifying filter frame portion 5d by the rotating portion, the water supply portion 5c and the humidifying filter portion 5b that have drawn water rotate. And the water pumped up by the water supply part 5c dripped near upper part of the water supply part 5c, and moisturizes the humidification filter part 5b. That is, when the rotating part continues to rotate the humidifying filter frame part 5d, the humidifying filter part 5b is always kept in a state of holding water.
　ここで、送風部６を動かすことにより、第１の吸気口１ａおよび第２の吸気口１ｂから本体ケース３内に空気が吸い込まれる。その後空気は、本体ケース３内に備えられた空気清浄フィルター４ａと水を保持した状態の加湿フィルター部５ｂとを通過し、加湿清浄空気となり、排気口２から室内に排出される。 Here, by moving the air blower 6, air is sucked into the main body case 3 from the first air inlet 1a and the second air inlet 1b. Thereafter, the air passes through the air cleaning filter 4a provided in the main body case 3 and the humidifying filter portion 5b holding water, becomes humidified clean air, and is discharged into the room from the exhaust port 2.
　本発明の実施の形態１における空気清浄装置の特徴は、第１の吸気口１ａ、および第２の吸気口１ｂの開口面積を変化させる点にある。具体的には、本体ケース３の前面に所定の距離を有し設けた前面化粧板７と、前面化粧板７を本体ケース３との距離を変えながら上下前後に移動させる複数の駆動部８とを設けている。前面化粧板７と本体ケース３との距離を変える、つまり前面化粧板７を前後に移動させることにより第１の吸気口１ａの開口面積を変化させる。また前面化粧板７を前後上下に移動させることにより、第２の吸気口１ｂの開口面積を変化させる。 The feature of the air purifying device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is that the opening areas of the first air inlet 1a and the second air inlet 1b are changed. Specifically, a front decorative plate 7 provided with a predetermined distance on the front surface of the main body case 3, and a plurality of driving units 8 that move the front decorative plate 7 up and down and front and rear while changing the distance from the main body case 3; Is provided. The opening area of the first air inlet 1a is changed by changing the distance between the front decorative plate 7 and the body case 3, that is, by moving the front decorative plate 7 back and forth. Moreover, the opening area of the 2nd inlet 1b is changed by moving the front decorative board 7 back and forth and up and down.
　すなわち、前面化粧板７を前後上下に移動させることにより、第１の吸気口１ａ、第２の吸気口１ｂの開口面積を変え、吸気口１の風量調整を行う。つまり、前面化粧板７が前後上下に移動することにより風量が変化するので、前後上下に移動する前面化粧板７の位置によって運転状態を目視にて確認できる。 That is, by moving the front decorative plate 7 back and forth and up and down, the opening areas of the first intake port 1a and the second intake port 1b are changed, and the air volume of the intake port 1 is adjusted. In other words, since the air volume changes as the front decorative plate 7 moves up and down and up and down, the operating state can be visually confirmed by the position of the front decorative plate 7 that moves up and down and up and down.
　具体的には、本体ケース３の前面の中央部から下部にかけて平板形状の前面化粧板７を設けている。そして前面化粧板７から所定の距離を有し前面化粧板７に平行に、空気清浄部４である縦長四角形状の空気清浄フィルター４ａを本体内の前面部に設けている。本体ケース３の２つの第１の吸気口１ａは、前面化粧板７と空気清浄フィルター４ａとの間の本体ケース３の両側面に位置している。第１の吸気口１ａは、縦長四角形状で高さ寸法は空気清浄フィルター４ａの高さとほぼ同じ長さであり、本体ケース３の前後方向である前後寸法は、前面化粧板７と空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離とほぼ同じである。 Specifically, a flat-shaped front decorative board 7 is provided from the center of the front surface of the main body case 3 to the lower part. An air purification filter 4a having a vertically long rectangular shape, which is the air purification unit 4, is provided on the front surface in the main body so as to have a predetermined distance from the front decorative plate 7 and parallel to the front decorative plate 7. The two first air inlets 1a of the main body case 3 are located on both side surfaces of the main body case 3 between the front decorative plate 7 and the air purification filter 4a. The first air inlet 1a has a vertically long rectangular shape and the height dimension is substantially the same as the height of the air purifying filter 4a. The front / rear dimension of the main body case 3 is the front decorative plate 7 and the air purifying filter. It is almost the same as the distance to 4a.
　すなわち、前面化粧板７は第１の吸気口１ａの一部を兼ねている。前面化粧板７と空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離を変えることにより、第１の吸気口１ａの前後寸法を変化させることとなり、第１の吸気口１ａの開口面積を変えることができる。 That is, the front decorative plate 7 also serves as a part of the first air inlet 1a. By changing the distance between the front decorative plate 7 and the air cleaning filter 4a, the front and rear dimensions of the first air inlet 1a are changed, and the opening area of the first air inlet 1a can be changed.
　また、前面化粧板７を上に移動させることにより前面化粧板７の下部に開口が現れ、この開口が第２の吸気口１ｂとなる。第２の吸気口１ｂは前面化粧板７の下部に位置し、その形状は横長四角形状である。また第２の吸気口１ｂの本体ケース３の左右方向である左右寸法は、前面化粧板７の左右寸法とほぼ同じ寸法であり、高さ寸法は前面化粧板７が上に移動した距離となる。 Further, by moving the front decorative plate 7 upward, an opening appears in the lower portion of the front decorative plate 7, and this opening becomes the second air inlet 1b. The 2nd inlet 1b is located in the lower part of the front decorative board 7, and the shape is a horizontally long square shape. The left and right dimensions of the main body case 3 of the second air inlet 1b are substantially the same as the left and right dimensions of the front decorative plate 7, and the height dimension is the distance that the front decorative plate 7 has moved upward. .
　すなわち、前面化粧板７は第２の吸気口１ｂの一部を兼ね、前面化粧板７の上下移動の距離を変えることにより、第２の吸気口１ｂの上下寸法を変化させることとなり、第２の吸気口１ｂの開口面積を変えることができる。 That is, the front decorative plate 7 also serves as a part of the second air inlet 1b, and the vertical dimension of the second air inlet 1b is changed by changing the vertical movement distance of the front decorative plate 7. The opening area of the intake port 1b can be changed.
　このように、前面化粧板７を空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離を変えながら上下に移動させるために複数の駆動部８を設けている。駆動部８は、棒状の軸部８ａと、軸部８ａの一端を中心に他端が上下に回動するように軸部８ａの一端側に設けた回動部８ｂとから形成している。軸部８ａの他端側には、前面化粧板７を設けている。回動部８ｂの一例は、ステッピングモーターである。 Thus, a plurality of drive units 8 are provided to move the front decorative plate 7 up and down while changing the distance from the air cleaning filter 4a. The drive unit 8 is formed of a rod-shaped shaft portion 8a and a rotation portion 8b provided on one end side of the shaft portion 8a so that the other end rotates up and down around one end of the shaft portion 8a. A front decorative plate 7 is provided on the other end side of the shaft portion 8a. An example of the rotating unit 8b is a stepping motor.
　すなわち、回動部８ｂが軸部８ａの一端を中心に他端を上下に回動することにより、他端側に設けられた前面化粧板７は軸部８ａの一端を中心に軸部８ａの長さを半径とした円弧上を前面化粧板７が動く。そのため、前面化粧板７は空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離を変えながら上下に移動することとなり、１枚の前面化粧板７によって３箇所の吸気口１（本体ケース３の両側面の第１の吸気口１ａと第２の吸気口１ｂ）の風量調整ができる。 That is, the rotating portion 8b rotates the other end up and down around one end of the shaft portion 8a, so that the front decorative plate 7 provided on the other end side of the shaft portion 8a is centered on one end of the shaft portion 8a. The front decorative plate 7 moves on an arc whose radius is the length. Therefore, the front decorative plate 7 moves up and down while changing the distance from the air purifying filter 4a, and the three front intake plates 7 (first intake air on both side surfaces of the body case 3) are moved by one front decorative plate 7. The air volume of the mouth 1a and the second air inlet 1b) can be adjusted.
　なお、駆動部８は前面化粧板７の四隅に設け、そのうち少なくとも１箇所には回動部８ｂであるステッピングモーターを設けている。他の箇所の回動部８ｂは単に、軸部８ａの一端を回転自在に設置可能な回転軸部でも良い。 In addition, the drive part 8 is provided in the four corners of the front decorative board 7, and the stepping motor which is the rotation part 8b is provided in at least one of them. The rotating portion 8b at another location may simply be a rotating shaft portion in which one end of the shaft portion 8a can be rotatably installed.
　以上の構成の空気清浄装置について、前面化粧板７による３箇所の吸込口の風量調整を詳しく説明する。図３は本発明の実施の形態１の空気清浄装置の前面化粧板が最下点に位置する場合の開口状態図である。 About the air purifier of the above structure, the air volume adjustment of three suction inlets by the front decorative board 7 is demonstrated in detail. FIG. 3 is an opening state diagram when the front decorative plate of the air purifying apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is located at the lowest point.
　図３に示すように、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における最下点に位置する場合、第１の吸気口１ａおよび第２の吸気口１ｂの開口面積は最小となる。具体的には、図２の回動部８ｂが軸部８ａの一端を中心に軸部８ａを回動させ、軸部８ａの一端を中心に下方向に軸部８ａが傾斜することにより、軸部８ａの他端に設けた前面化粧板７が最下点に位置する。 As shown in FIG. 3, when the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the lowest point in the drive range by the drive unit 8, the opening areas of the first intake port 1a and the second intake port 1b are minimized. Specifically, the rotating portion 8b of FIG. 2 rotates the shaft portion 8a around one end of the shaft portion 8a, and the shaft portion 8a tilts downward about the one end of the shaft portion 8a, whereby the shaft The front decorative board 7 provided at the other end of the portion 8a is located at the lowest point.
　すなわち第１の吸気口１ａは、縦長四角形状の高さ寸法が空気清浄フィルター４ａの高さとほぼ同じ長さ、前後寸法が前面化粧板７と空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離とほぼ同じ長さの最小の小開口状態となる。第２の吸気口１ｂは、横長四角形状の左右寸法が空気清浄フィルター４ａの左右寸法とほぼ同じ長さ、前後寸法が前面化粧板７と空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離とほぼ同じ長さの最小の小開口状態となる。 That is, the first intake port 1a has a vertically long rectangular shape whose height dimension is substantially the same as the height of the air purification filter 4a, and whose front-rear dimension is substantially the same as the distance between the front decorative plate 7 and the air purification filter 4a. It becomes the smallest small opening state. The second air inlet 1b has a horizontally long rectangular shape whose left and right dimensions are substantially the same as the left and right dimensions of the air purification filter 4a, and whose front and rear dimensions are the same as the distance between the front decorative plate 7 and the air purification filter 4a. It becomes a small opening state.
　このように、本体ケース３の両側面に設けた２つの第１の吸気口１ａ、および第２の吸気口１ｂから吸込む風量を、弱程度に調整することができる。この状態では、室内の上下方向の下部から中央部の空気を弱程度の風量において吸い込み、空気清浄および加湿処理ができる。ここで前面化粧板７は、本体ケース３前面とほぼ同一平面状、つまり本体ケース３前面と段差のない状態であるので、前面化粧板７の位置によって運転状態を目視にて確認できる。 Thus, the amount of air sucked from the two first air inlets 1a and the second air inlets 1b provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 3 can be adjusted to a weak level. In this state, the air in the center part is sucked from the lower part in the vertical direction in the room at a weak air volume, and air purification and humidification processing can be performed. Here, the front decorative plate 7 is substantially flush with the front surface of the main body case 3, that is, has no step difference from the front surface of the main body case 3, so that the driving state can be visually confirmed by the position of the front decorative plate 7.
　図４は、本発明の実施の形態１の空気清浄装置の前面化粧板が中間点に位置する場合の開口状態図である。図４に示すように、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における中間点に位置する場合、第１の吸気口１ａの開口面積は最大、第２の吸気口１ｂの開口面積は中開口状態となる。ここで中開口状態とは、開口面積が最大と最小との中間状態の場合を意味する。具体的には、図２の回動部８ｂが軸部８ａの一端を中心に軸部８ａを回動させ、軸部８ａの他端に設けた前面化粧板７を軸部８ａが略水平にすることにより、軸部８ａの他端に設けた前面化粧板７が中間点に位置する。 FIG. 4 is an opening state diagram when the front decorative plate of the air cleaning device according to the first embodiment of the present invention is located at the midpoint. As shown in FIG. 4, when the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at an intermediate point in the driving range by the drive unit 8, the opening area of the first intake port 1a is the maximum, and the opening area of the second intake port 1b is the middle opening. It becomes a state. Here, the middle opening state means a case where the opening area is an intermediate state between the maximum and the minimum. Specifically, the rotating portion 8b in FIG. 2 rotates the shaft portion 8a around one end of the shaft portion 8a, and the shaft portion 8a is substantially horizontal on the front decorative plate 7 provided at the other end of the shaft portion 8a. By doing so, the front decorative board 7 provided in the other end of the axial part 8a is located in an intermediate point.
　すなわち、第１の吸気口１ａの開口面積が最小の小開口状態から、前面化粧板７が空気清浄フィルター４ａから離れた距離、つまり前後寸法が軸部８ａのほぼ長さ分増えた開口面積が最大の大開口状態となる。第２の吸気口１ｂは、横長四角形状の左右寸法が前面化粧板７の左右寸法とほぼ同じ寸法であり、高さ寸法は前面化粧板７が上に移動した距離、つまり軸部８ａのほぼ長さ分開口した中開口状態となる。 That is, the distance from which the front decorative plate 7 is separated from the air cleaning filter 4a from the small opening state in which the opening area of the first intake port 1a is minimum, that is, the opening area in which the front-rear dimension is increased by the length of the shaft portion 8a. It becomes the largest large opening state. The second intake port 1b has a horizontally-rectangular left-right dimension that is substantially the same as the left-right dimension of the front decorative plate 7, and the height dimension is the distance that the front decorative plate 7 has moved upward, that is, approximately the axial portion 8a. It becomes the middle opening state opened for the length.
　このように、本体ケース３の両側面に設けた２つの第１の吸気口１ａからの吸込む風量を強程度、本体ケース３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１ｂから吸込む風量を中程度に調整することができる。この状態では、室内の上下方向の下部から中央部の空気を強程度の風量にて吸い込み、空気清浄および加湿処理ができる。ここで前面化粧板７は、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により最下点に位置する場合より、本体ケース３前面から前および上方向に移動している。そのため前面化粧板７は、本体ケース３前面と段差が発生し、第２の吸気口１ｂが現れるので、前面化粧板７の位置によって運転状態を目視にて確認できる。 As described above, the amount of air sucked from the two first air inlets 1 a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 3 is strong, and the amount of air sucked from the second air inlet 1 b provided at the lower front of the main body case 3 is medium. Can be adjusted. In this state, the air in the center part is sucked in from the lower part in the vertical direction in the room with a strong air volume, and the air can be cleaned and humidified. Here, the front decorative plate 7 is moved forward and upward from the front surface of the main body case 3 than when the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the lowest point by the drive unit 8. Therefore, the front decorative plate 7 is stepped from the front surface of the main body case 3 and the second air inlet 1b appears, so that the operating state can be visually confirmed by the position of the front decorative plate 7.
　図５は、本発明の実施の形態１の空気清浄装置の前面化粧板が最上点に位置する場合の開口状態図である。図５に示すように、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における最上点に位置する場合、第１の吸気口１ａは中開口状態、第２の吸気口１ｂは大開口状態となる。具体的には、図２の回動部８ｂが軸部８ａの一端を中心に軸部８ａを回動させ、軸部８ａの一端を中心に上方向に軸部８ａが傾斜することにより、軸部８ａの他端に設けた前面化粧板７が最上点に位置する。 FIG. 5 is an opening state diagram when the front decorative plate of the air purifying apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention is located at the highest point. As shown in FIG. 5, when the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the highest point in the driving range by the drive unit 8, the first intake port 1 a is in the middle opening state and the second intake port 1 b is in the large opening state. Specifically, the rotating portion 8b of FIG. 2 rotates the shaft portion 8a around one end of the shaft portion 8a, and the shaft portion 8a is inclined upward about the one end of the shaft portion 8a. The front decorative board 7 provided at the other end of the portion 8a is located at the highest point.
　すなわち第１の吸気口１ａの高さ寸法は、空気清浄フィルター４ａの高さとほぼ同じ長さであり、前後寸法は軸部８ａが上方向に傾斜する分前面化粧板７と空気清浄フィルター４ａとの距離が短くなり大開口状態に比べ小さい中開口状態となる。第２の吸気口１ｂの左右寸法は、前面化粧板７の左右寸法とほぼ同じ寸法であり、高さ寸法は前面化粧板７が上に移動した距離、つまり軸部８ａが上方向に傾斜する分、中開口状態より大きい大開口状態となる。 That is, the height dimension of the first intake port 1a is substantially the same as the height of the air purifying filter 4a, and the front and rear dimensions are such that the front face decorative plate 7 and the air purifying filter 4a are as much as the shaft portion 8a is inclined upward. The distance becomes shorter and the middle opening state becomes smaller than the large opening state. The left and right dimensions of the second air inlet 1b are substantially the same as the left and right dimensions of the front decorative plate 7, and the height dimension is the distance that the front decorative plate 7 has moved upward, that is, the shaft portion 8a is inclined upward. Therefore, the large opening state is larger than the middle opening state.
　このように、本体ケース３の両側面に設けた２つの第１の吸気口１ａから吸込む風量を中程度に、本体ケース３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１ｂから吸込む風量を強程度に調整することができる。この状態では、主に室内の床上部の空気を強程度の風量にて吸い込み、空気清浄および加湿処理ができる。ここで前面化粧板７は、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における中間点に位置する場合より、本体ケース３前面から上および後ろ方向に移動している。そのため前面化粧板７は、本体ケース３前面との段差が小さくなり、第２の吸気口１ｂが更に大きく現れるので、前面化粧板７の位置によって運転状態を目視にて確認できる。 Thus, the air volume sucked from the two first air inlets 1 a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 3 is moderate, and the air volume sucked from the second air inlet 1 b provided at the lower front of the main body case 3 is strong. Can be adjusted. In this state, the air in the upper part of the indoor floor is mainly sucked with a strong air volume, and air cleaning and humidification treatment can be performed. Here, the front decorative plate 7 is moved upward and rearward from the front surface of the main body case 3 as compared with the case where the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at an intermediate point in the driving range by the drive unit 8. For this reason, the front decorative plate 7 has a smaller step with the front surface of the main body case 3 and the second air inlet 1b appears larger, so that the operating state can be visually confirmed by the position of the front decorative plate 7.
　また前面化粧板７と、空気清浄部４との間に風向板９を設け、風向板９は前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における最上点に位置する場合、前面化粧板７より下に位置する。風向板９の色は、前面化粧板７の色とは異なる色である。 Further, a wind direction plate 9 is provided between the front decorative plate 7 and the air cleaning unit 4, and the wind direction plate 9 is located below the front decorative plate 7 when the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the highest point in the driving range by the drive unit 8. Located in. The color of the wind direction board 9 is different from the color of the front decorative board 7.
　このように第２の吸気口１ｂに板状の風向板９を設け、前面化粧板７が駆動範囲における最上点に移動することにより第２の吸気口１ｂである開口が現れる。風向板９によって空気清浄部４である空気清浄フィルター４ａが隠れるので、デザイン性が向上する。また、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における最下点に位置する場合、風向板９は前面化粧板７の下部から現れない。前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における中間点に位置する場合、風向板９の一部が第２の吸気口１ｂである開口から現れるが、使用者からは見えにくい。前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における最上点に位置する場合、風向板９のほぼ全体が第２の吸気口１ｂである開口から現れ、使用者からは見える。 As described above, the plate-like wind direction plate 9 is provided at the second air inlet 1b, and the opening as the second air inlet 1b appears when the front decorative plate 7 moves to the highest point in the driving range. Since the air purification filter 4a which is the air purification part 4 is hidden by the wind direction plate 9, design property improves. Further, when the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the lowest point in the driving range by the driving unit 8, the wind direction plate 9 does not appear from the lower part of the front decorative plate 7. When the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at an intermediate point in the driving range by the driving unit 8, a part of the wind direction plate 9 appears from the opening which is the second air inlet 1b, but is difficult to see from the user. When the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the highest point in the driving range by the drive unit 8, almost the entire wind direction plate 9 appears from the opening which is the second air inlet 1b and is visible to the user.
　すなわち、前面化粧板７が駆動部８により駆動範囲における中間点、または最上点に位置する運転状態によっては、風向板９の見え方が異なるので、風向板９の見え方によって運転状態を目視により容易に確認できる。また、風向板９の色は、前面化粧板７の色とは異なる色であるので、風向板９の見え方によって運転状態を目視にて更に容易に確認できる。 That is, depending on the driving state in which the front decorative plate 7 is positioned at the middle point or the uppermost point in the driving range by the drive unit 8, the appearance of the wind direction plate 9 differs. Easy to confirm. Moreover, since the color of the wind direction board 9 is a color different from the color of the front decorative board 7, a driving | running state can be confirmed still more visually by the appearance of the wind direction board 9. FIG.
　また、風向板９は下端より上端が空気清浄部４に近接するように傾斜したものである。具体的には、風向板９は横長四角形状の板状であり、下端より上端が空気清浄部４に近接するように傾斜している。すなわち、本体ケース３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１ｂから吸い込まれた空気の一部は、第２の吸気口１ｂに対向した空気清浄フィルター４ａ部分から吸い込まれない。その空気は、第２の吸気口１ｂの上部に位置する空気清浄フィルター４ａ部分から吸い込まれ、風量を増加させることができる。 Further, the wind direction plate 9 is inclined so that the upper end is closer to the air cleaning unit 4 than the lower end. Specifically, the wind direction plate 9 is a horizontally long rectangular plate shape, and is inclined so that the upper end is closer to the air cleaning unit 4 than the lower end. That is, a part of the air sucked from the second air inlet 1b provided in the lower front portion of the main body case 3 is not sucked from the air purifying filter 4a facing the second air inlet 1b. The air is sucked in from the air purifying filter 4a located above the second air inlet 1b, and the air volume can be increased.
　図６は本発明の実施の形態１の空気清浄装置の着脱部の概略図である。図６に示すように、前面化粧板７と駆動部８の軸部８ａの他端とは着脱可能である着脱部１０を備えている。すなわち、前面化粧板７は駆動部８の軸部８ａとは着脱可能なので、前面化粧板７を外すことによって、空気清浄部４である空気清浄フィルター４ａが着脱可能となる。そのため、空気清浄フィルター４ａのメンテナンスを容易に行うことができる。 FIG. 6 is a schematic view of the attaching / detaching portion of the air cleaning device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, the front decorative plate 7 and the other end of the shaft portion 8 a of the drive unit 8 are provided with a detachable portion 10 that is detachable. That is, since the front decorative plate 7 is detachable from the shaft portion 8a of the drive unit 8, by removing the front decorative plate 7, the air purification filter 4a as the air purification unit 4 can be attached and detached. Therefore, maintenance of the air purification filter 4a can be easily performed.
　また、着脱部１０は前面化粧板７に鉄板部７ａを設け、軸部８ａの他端に磁石部８ｃを設けている。具体的には、軸部８ａの他端に半円形状の磁石部８ｃを設け、磁石部８ｃを覆うように略Ｃ形状の鉄板部７ａを前面化粧板７に備えている。これにより、磁石部８ｃが鉄板部７ａを磁力により可動自在に吸着するので、前面化粧板７は駆動部８の軸部８ａとは着脱可能となる。つまり前面化粧板７を外すことによって、空気清浄部４である空気清浄フィルター４ａは着脱可能となり、空気清浄フィルター４ａのメンテナンスを容易に行うことができる。 Moreover, the attaching / detaching portion 10 is provided with an iron plate portion 7a on the front decorative plate 7 and a magnet portion 8c at the other end of the shaft portion 8a. Specifically, a semicircular magnet portion 8c is provided at the other end of the shaft portion 8a, and a substantially C-shaped iron plate portion 7a is provided on the front decorative plate 7 so as to cover the magnet portion 8c. Thereby, since the magnet part 8c adsorb | sucks the iron plate part 7a movably with a magnetic force, the front decorative board 7 can be attached or detached with the axial part 8a of the drive part 8. FIG. That is, by removing the front decorative plate 7, the air purification filter 4a that is the air purification unit 4 can be attached and detached, and maintenance of the air purification filter 4a can be easily performed.
　また空気清浄部４は、蛇腹形状に折られた集塵フィルター４ｂであり、集塵フィルター４ｂの折り目は水平方向である。このように、集塵フィルター４ｂの折り目を水平方向にすることによって、本体ケース３の両側面に設けた２つの第１の吸気口１ａからの吸込まれた空気が集塵フィルター４ｂに達するまでの空気の流れは、ほぼ水平方向となる。 The air cleaning unit 4 is a dust collection filter 4b folded in a bellows shape, and the fold of the dust collection filter 4b is in the horizontal direction. Thus, by making the fold of the dust collection filter 4b horizontal, the air sucked from the two first air inlets 1a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 3 until the dust collection filter 4b is reached. The air flow is substantially horizontal.
　すなわち、空気の流れと集塵フィルター４ｂの折り目とが平行となるので、集塵フィルター４ｂへ流れ込む風路抵抗が小さくなる。その結果、本体ケース３の両側面に設けた２つの第１の吸気口１ａからの吸込風量を増加することが出来る。 That is, since the air flow and the crease of the dust collection filter 4b are parallel, the air path resistance flowing into the dust collection filter 4b is reduced. As a result, it is possible to increase the intake air volume from the two first intake ports 1a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 3.

7 is a perspective view of the air purifying apparatus according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view when the front decorative plate of the air purifying apparatus is located at an intermediate point, and FIG. 9 is the front decorative of the air purifying apparatus. FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view when the front decorative plate of the air cleaning device is located at the lowest point.
　本発明の実施の形態２の空気清浄装置は、吸気口１０１と排気口１０２を有する本体ケース１０３と、本体ケース１０３内に設けた空気清浄部と、空気清浄部の下流側に加湿部と、送風部１１２とを備えている。 The air cleaning device according to the second embodiment of the present invention includes a main body case 103 having an intake port 101 and an exhaust port 102, an air cleaning unit provided in the main body case 103, a humidifying unit on the downstream side of the air cleaning unit, The ventilation part 112 is provided.
　送風部１１２は、吸気口１０１から室内の空気を空気清浄部を介して本体ケース１０３内に吸気し、吸気口１０１から排気口１０２までの風路に設けられている。また前面化粧板１０４は、本体ケース１０３の前面に設けられている。 The air blower 112 sucks indoor air from the air intake 101 into the main body case 103 via the air purifier, and is provided in the air path from the air intake 101 to the air exhaust 102. The front decorative plate 104 is provided on the front surface of the main body case 103.
　吸気口１０１は本体ケース１０３の両側面に設けられた第１の吸気口１０１ａと、本体ケース１０３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１０１ｂとから形成され、排気口１０２は本体ケース１０３の天面に設けられている。なお第１の吸気口１０１ａは、本体ケース１０３の側面のどちらかに１つだけでもよい。 The intake port 101 is formed by a first intake port 101 a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 103 and a second intake port 101 b provided in the lower front surface of the main body case 103. It is provided on the top. Note that only one first air inlet 101 a may be provided on either side of the main body case 103.
　第１の吸気口１０１ａおよび第２の吸気口１０１ｂの開口面積は、本体ケース１０３の前面に所定の距離を有し設けた略縦長四角平板形状の前面化粧板１０４を上下前後に移動させることにより変化させる。つまり、前面化粧板１０４と本体ケース１０３との水平距離を変えることにより、本体ケース１０３の両側面に設けた第１の吸気口１０１ａの開口面積を変化させる。前面化粧板１０４を上下に移動させることにより、本体ケース１０３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１０１ｂの開口面積を変化させる。このように、前面化粧板１０４を本体ケース１０３に対して水平方向および上下方向に移動させるために複数の駆動部１０６を設けている。 The opening area of the first air inlet 101a and the second air inlet 101b is obtained by moving the front decorative board 104 having a substantially vertical rectangular flat plate shape having a predetermined distance on the front surface of the main body case 103 up and down. Change. That is, by changing the horizontal distance between the front decorative plate 104 and the main body case 103, the opening area of the first intake port 101a provided on both side surfaces of the main body case 103 is changed. By moving the front decorative plate 104 up and down, the opening area of the second intake port 101 b provided at the lower front surface of the main body case 103 is changed. As described above, the plurality of driving units 106 are provided to move the front decorative plate 104 in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction with respect to the main body case 103.
　空気清浄部は、縦長箱形状の空気清浄フィルター１０７である。空気清浄フィルター１０７の濾材は、蛇腹形状に折られている。空気清浄部は、第１の吸気口１０１ａおよび第２の吸気口１０１ｂの風路風下側で、前面化粧板１０４に対向する位置に設けている。 The air cleaning part is a vertically long box-shaped air cleaning filter 107. The filter medium of the air cleaning filter 107 is folded in a bellows shape. The air purifier is provided at a position facing the front decorative plate 104 on the downwind side of the first intake port 101a and the second intake port 101b.
　加湿部は、風路のうち空気清浄部の風下側に設けられている。すなわち加湿部は、風路のうち空気清浄部と送風部１１２との間に備えられている。加湿部は、水槽１０８と、加湿フィルター部１０９と、加湿フィルター枠部１１１と、回転部であるモータ１１４とから形成されている。ここで水槽１０８は、一定量の水が溜まった略椀形状である。加湿フィルター部１０９は、水槽１０８の水に周縁部の一部が常に浸漬した円板状である。加湿フィルター枠部１１１は、加湿フィルター部１０９を固定し外周部に給水部１１０を備えた略円環形状である。回転部は、加湿フィルター枠部１１１を回転させる。 The humidification section is provided on the leeward side of the air cleaning section in the air path. That is, the humidifying unit is provided between the air cleaning unit and the air blowing unit 112 in the air passage. The humidifying part is formed of a water tank 108, a humidifying filter part 109, a humidifying filter frame part 111, and a motor 114 that is a rotating part. Here, the water tank 108 has a substantially bowl shape in which a certain amount of water is accumulated. The humidifying filter unit 109 has a disk shape in which a part of the peripheral edge is always immersed in the water of the water tank 108. The humidifying filter frame portion 111 has a substantially annular shape in which the humidifying filter portion 109 is fixed and a water supply portion 110 is provided on the outer peripheral portion. The rotating part rotates the humidifying filter frame part 111.
　また、加湿フィルター部１０９の略上方には、空気清浄部と送風部１１２とを繋ぐバイパス風路１１３が備えられている。これにより、加湿部の下流側に設けた送風部１１２によって、第１の吸気口１０１ａおよび第２の吸気口１０１ｂから空気清浄部を介して本体ケース１０３内に吸気した室内の空気は、加湿部を介し排気口１０２より室内に排気するか、または、空気清浄部と送風部１１２とを繋ぐバイパス風路１１３を介して排気口１０２より室内に排気する。 Further, a bypass air passage 113 that connects the air purifying unit and the air blowing unit 112 is provided substantially above the humidifying filter unit 109. As a result, the indoor air sucked into the main body case 103 from the first air intake port 101a and the second air intake port 101b through the air purifying unit by the air blowing unit 112 provided on the downstream side of the humidifying unit is The air is exhausted from the exhaust port 102 through the exhaust port 102, or is exhausted from the exhaust port 102 through the bypass air passage 113 connecting the air purifying unit and the air blowing unit 112.
　このような構成における空気清浄、および加湿動作について説明する。 The air cleaning and humidifying operation in such a configuration will be described.
　水タンク１０５より水槽１０８に、常時一定の水位となるように水が供給される。この水に加湿部の加湿フィルター枠部１１１である給水部１１０と、加湿フィルター部１０９の一部とが常時浸かった状態となる。ここで回転部であるモータ１１４によって加湿フィルター枠部１１１を回転させることにより、水を汲んだ給水部１１０と加湿フィルター部１０９とが回転する。給水部１１０によって汲み上げられた水が給水部１１０上部付近において滴り落ち、加湿フィルター部１０９を湿らせる。つまりモータ１１４により加湿フィルター枠部１１１を回転させ続けることで加湿フィルター部１０９は、常時水を保持した状態に保たれる。 Water is supplied from the water tank 105 to the water tank 108 so that the water level is always constant. The water supply unit 110 which is the humidification filter frame portion 111 of the humidification unit and a part of the humidification filter unit 109 are constantly immersed in this water. Here, the humidifying filter frame portion 111 is rotated by the motor 114 which is a rotating portion, whereby the water supply portion 110 and the humidifying filter portion 109 which have drawn water rotate. The water pumped up by the water supply unit 110 drips in the vicinity of the upper part of the water supply unit 110 to wet the humidifying filter unit 109. That is, by continuing to rotate the humidifying filter frame 111 by the motor 114, the humidifying filter 109 is always kept in a state of holding water.
　ここで、送風部１１２を動作させることにより、第１の吸気口１０１ａおよび第２の吸気口１０１ｂから本体ケース１０３内に空気が吸い込まれる。その後空気は、本体ケース１０３内に備えられた空気清浄フィルター１０７と、水を保持した状態の加湿フィルター部１０９とを通過し加湿清浄空気となり、排気口１０２から室内に排出される。 Here, air is sucked into the main body case 103 from the first intake port 101a and the second intake port 101b by operating the air blowing unit 112. Thereafter, the air passes through the air cleaning filter 107 provided in the main body case 103 and the humidifying filter portion 109 holding water, becomes humidified clean air, and is discharged into the room from the exhaust port 102.
　また、空気清浄部と送風部１１２とを繋ぐバイパス風路１１３を加湿フィルター部１０９の略上方に設けている。そのため、主に第１の吸気口１０１ａから吸気された空気は、空気清浄部を介し加湿フィルター部１０９を通過し送風部１１２に吸い込まれる空気と、空気清浄部を介しバイパス風路１１３を通過し送風部１１２により吸い込まれる空気との２経路の空気となり送風部１１２により排気口１０２から室内に排気される。 Further, a bypass air passage 113 that connects the air purifying unit and the air blowing unit 112 is provided substantially above the humidifying filter unit 109. Therefore, the air mainly sucked from the first air inlet 101a passes through the humidifying filter 109 through the air purifier and the air sucked into the air blower 112, and passes through the bypass air passage 113 through the air purifier. It becomes air of two paths with the air suck | inhaled by the ventilation part 112, and is exhausted indoors from the exhaust port 102 by the ventilation part 112. FIG.
　本発明の実施の形態２における空気清浄装置の特徴は、前面化粧板１０４と、空気清浄部と、加湿部との構成にある。具体的には、空気清浄部が、前面化粧板１０４と加湿部との間の風路に位置し、空気清浄部の上端部が空気清浄部の下端部より本体ケース１０３の内部方向に入り込むように傾斜させている。 The characteristic of the air purifying device in Embodiment 2 of the present invention is the configuration of the front decorative plate 104, the air purifying unit, and the humidifying unit. Specifically, the air purifying unit is located in the air path between the front decorative plate 104 and the humidifying unit, and the upper end of the air purifying unit enters the inside of the main body case 103 from the lower end of the air purifying unit. It is inclined to.
　すなわち第１の吸気口１０１ａ、および第２の吸気口１０１ｂの風路風下側の前面化粧板１０４に対向する位置に空気清浄部を設けている。そして空気清浄部の風路風下側に加湿部を備え、空気清浄部の上端部が空気清浄部の下端部より本体ケース１０３内部方向に入り込むように傾斜させている。 That is, the air purifying portion is provided at a position facing the front decorative plate 104 on the leeward side of the first intake port 101a and the second intake port 101b. A humidifier is provided on the air path leeward side of the air purifier, and the upper end of the air purifier is inclined so as to enter the inside of the main body case 103 from the lower end of the air purifier.
　つまり図９に示すように、上下前後動する前面化粧板１０４が駆動範囲における最上点に位置する場合、空気清浄部の下部では本体ケース１０３の前面下部に設けた第２の吸気口１０１ｂが全開となる。第２の吸気口１０１ｂから吸い込まれた室内空気は空気清浄部を通過し、加湿部である加湿フィルター部１０９に流れる。一方、空気清浄部の上部では、本体ケース１０３の少なくとも１側面に設けた第１の吸気口１０１ａから吸い込まれた室内空気が、空気清浄部に流れ込む。ここで、空気清浄部の上端部が空気清浄部の下端部より本体ケース１０３内部方向に入り込むように傾斜させている。そのため図８に示すように、空気清浄部の下部と前面化粧板１０４との間の空間より大きな空間が、空気清浄部の上部と前面化粧板１０４との間にできる。この空間により第１の吸気口１０１ａから吸い込まれた室内空気が、空気清浄部の上部に均一に流れ易くなる。 That is, as shown in FIG. 9, when the front decorative plate 104 that moves up and down is positioned at the highest point in the driving range, the second air inlet 101b provided at the lower front of the main body case 103 is fully opened at the lower part of the air purifying unit. It becomes. The room air sucked from the second air inlet 101b passes through the air purifying section and flows to the humidifying filter section 109 which is a humidifying section. On the other hand, in the upper part of the air cleaning unit, room air sucked from the first air inlet 101a provided on at least one side surface of the main body case 103 flows into the air cleaning unit. Here, the upper end portion of the air cleaning portion is inclined so as to enter the inside of the main body case 103 from the lower end portion of the air cleaning portion. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 8, a space larger than the space between the lower part of the air cleaning unit and the front decorative plate 104 is formed between the upper part of the air cleaning unit and the front decorative plate 104. Due to this space, the indoor air sucked from the first air inlet 101a can easily flow uniformly to the upper part of the air cleaning unit.
　これらの結果により、加湿清浄空気の風量を多くすることができると共に、加湿能力を向上することができる。 These results can increase the air volume of the humidified clean air and improve the humidification ability.
　また、加湿部は水槽１０８と、加湿フィルター部１０９と、加湿フィルター枠部１１１と、回転部とから形成されている。具体的には、水槽１０８は、天面が開口した略横長箱形状であり、水槽１０８の長手辺部の側壁部の上端である長手側壁上端部より上方に伸びた軸受け部を備えている。水槽１０８に一定量の水が、水タンク１０５より供給される。加湿フィルター枠部１１１は、中央部に回転軸部を備えている。この回転軸部を水槽１０８の長手辺部の側壁部の上端である長手側壁上端部より上方に伸びた軸受け部に装着する。このことにより、加湿フィルター枠部１１１の給水部１１０、および加湿フィルター部１０９周縁部の一部が、水槽１０８の水に常に浸漬すると共に、回転自在に設けられる。この回転自在に設けた加湿フィルター枠部１１１、および加湿フィルター部１０９を回転部であるモータ１１４によって回転させる。 Further, the humidifying part is formed of a water tank 108, a humidifying filter part 109, a humidifying filter frame part 111, and a rotating part. Specifically, the water tank 108 has a substantially horizontally long box shape with an open top, and includes a bearing portion that extends upward from the upper end portion of the long side wall that is the upper end of the side wall portion of the long side portion of the water tank 108. A fixed amount of water is supplied from the water tank 105 to the water tank 108. The humidification filter frame part 111 is provided with a rotating shaft part in the center part. This rotating shaft portion is attached to a bearing portion extending upward from the upper end portion of the longitudinal side wall, which is the upper end of the side wall portion of the longitudinal side portion of the water tank 108. Thereby, the water supply part 110 of the humidification filter frame part 111 and a part of peripheral part of the humidification filter part 109 are always immersed in the water of the water tank 108, and are provided rotatably. The humidifying filter frame portion 111 and the humidifying filter portion 109 that are rotatably provided are rotated by a motor 114 that is a rotating portion.
　すなわち、空気清浄部の上端部を空気清浄部の下端部より本体ケース１０３内部方向に入り込むように傾斜させている。そのため、加湿部と空気清浄部との間、特に加湿部の下部に位置する水槽１０８と空気清浄部との間に空間ができる。その結果、空気清浄部の下部である加湿部の水槽１０８に対向した位置から吸い込まれた空気が、加湿部である加湿フィルター部１０９に流れる込み易くなる。 That is, the upper end portion of the air cleaning portion is inclined so as to enter the inside of the main body case 103 from the lower end portion of the air cleaning portion. Therefore, a space is created between the humidifying unit and the air cleaning unit, in particular, between the water tank 108 and the air cleaning unit located below the humidifying unit. As a result, the air sucked from the position facing the water tank 108 of the humidifying unit, which is the lower part of the air cleaning unit, easily flows into the humidifying filter unit 109 that is the humidifying unit.
　また加湿部は、風路の空気清浄部の風下側の下部に備えている。具体的には、前面化粧板１０４に対向する位置に空気清浄部を設け、風路における空気清浄部の風下側に加湿部を備えている。ここで、空気清浄部は縦長箱形状の空気清浄フィルター１０７で、濾材が蛇腹形状に折られている。空気清浄フィルター１０７の下端面と、加湿部である天面が開口した略横長箱形状の水槽１０８底面との高さが、ほぼ同じ高さに位置する。 Also, the humidification part is provided at the lower part of the leeward side of the air purification part of the air passage. Specifically, an air purifier is provided at a position facing the front decorative plate 104, and a humidifier is provided on the leeward side of the air purifier in the air passage. Here, the air purifying section is a vertically long box-shaped air purifying filter 107, and the filter medium is folded in a bellows shape. The height of the lower end surface of the air purification filter 107 and the bottom surface of the substantially horizontally long box-shaped water tank 108 with the top surface being the humidifying portion opened are located at substantially the same height.
　すなわち、空気清浄フィルター１０７の下端面と、水槽１０８底面との高さが、ほぼ同じ高さに位置し、空気清浄部の上端部が空気清浄部の下端部より本体ケース１０３内部方向に入り込むように傾斜させている。そのため、加湿部と空気清浄部との間、特に加湿部の下部に位置する水槽１０８と空気清浄部との間の空間が更に大きくなる。そして空気清浄部の下部である加湿部の水槽１０８に対向した位置から吸い込まれた空気は、加湿部である加湿フィルター部１０９に更に流れ込み易くなる。 That is, the lower end surface of the air purification filter 107 and the bottom surface of the water tank 108 are substantially at the same height so that the upper end portion of the air purification portion enters the inside of the main body case 103 from the lower end portion of the air purification portion. It is inclined to. Therefore, the space between the humidifier and the air purifier, particularly between the water tank 108 and the air purifier located at the lower part of the humidifier is further increased. Then, the air sucked from the position facing the water tank 108 of the humidifying unit, which is the lower part of the air purifying unit, further flows into the humidifying filter unit 109 which is the humidifying unit.
　また、送風部１１２はケーシング１１５と、ケーシング１１５内に配設されたモータ１１４と、モータ１１４の回転軸に固定された羽根１１７とにより形成されている。そして加湿部である加湿フィルター部１０９に対向した位置に、ケーシング１１５のケーシング吸込口１１８を設けている。羽根１１７に対向した位置に、円形の孔であるケーシング吸込口１１８が備えられている。ケーシング吸込口１１８が、加湿部である加湿フィルター部１０９に対向した位置に配置されている。 Further, the air blowing part 112 is formed by a casing 115, a motor 114 disposed in the casing 115, and a blade 117 fixed to the rotating shaft of the motor 114. And the casing suction port 118 of the casing 115 is provided in the position facing the humidification filter part 109 which is a humidification part. A casing suction port 118 that is a circular hole is provided at a position facing the blade 117. The casing suction port 118 is disposed at a position facing the humidifying filter portion 109 that is a humidifying portion.
　すなわち送風部１１２を動かすことにより、第１の吸気口１０１ａおよび第２の吸気口１０１ｂから本体ケース１０３内に空気が吸い込まれる。この空気は、本体ケース１０３内に備えられた空気清浄フィルター１０７の下部を通過する。そしてこの空気は、空気清浄フィルター１０７と加湿部の水槽１０８との間を、水槽１０８の長手辺部の空気清浄フィルター１０７側である一方の側壁部に沿うように加湿フィルター部１０９の方向、つまり上方向に流れる。 That is, by moving the air blower 112, air is sucked into the main body case 103 from the first air inlet 101a and the second air inlet 101b. This air passes through the lower part of the air purification filter 107 provided in the main body case 103. And this air is between the air cleaning filter 107 and the water tank 108 of the humidifying section, along the one side wall portion on the air cleaning filter 107 side of the longitudinal side of the water tank 108, that is, the direction of the humidifying filter section 109. Flows upward.
　次に、加湿部の水槽１０８側壁部の上部で風向を上方向から略水平方向に変化させ、加湿部である加湿フィルター部１０９を通過し、加湿フィルター部１０９に対向したケーシング吸込口１１８に流れる。ここで、ケーシング吸込口１１８は、加湿フィルター部１０９に対向した位置にあるので、加湿フィルター部１０９を通過した空気は、大きく風向を変化させることなくケーシング吸込口１１８に流れ、風路圧損を低減することができる。 Next, the wind direction is changed from the upper side to the substantially horizontal direction at the upper part of the side wall of the water tank 108 of the humidifying part, passes through the humidifying filter part 109 which is the humidifying part, and flows to the casing suction port 118 facing the humidifying filter part 109. . Here, since the casing suction port 118 is located at a position facing the humidifying filter unit 109, the air that has passed through the humidifying filter unit 109 flows to the casing suction port 118 without greatly changing the wind direction, thereby reducing the air path pressure loss. can do.
　またケーシング吸込口１１８の周縁部の下部は、加湿部である水槽１０８の上端部より高い位置に構成している。具体的にはケーシング吸込口１１８が、加湿フィルター部１０９に対向すると共に、ケーシング吸込口１１８の周縁部の下部が、水槽１０８の長手辺部の空気清浄フィルター１０７側である一方の側壁部の上端部より高い位置にある。 Also, the lower part of the peripheral edge of the casing suction port 118 is configured to be higher than the upper end of the water tank 108 that is a humidifying part. Specifically, the casing suction port 118 faces the humidifying filter portion 109, and the lower end of the peripheral edge portion of the casing suction port 118 is the upper end of one side wall portion that is the air purification filter 107 side of the longitudinal side portion of the water tank 108. It is higher than the part.
　すなわち送風部１１２を動作させることにより、第２の吸気口１０１ｂから本体ケース１０３内に空気が吸い込まれ、この空気は本体ケース１０３内に備えられた空気清浄フィルター１０７の下部を通過する。そして、空気清浄フィルター１０７と水槽１０８との間を、水槽１０８の長手辺部の空気清浄フィルター１０７側である一方の側壁部に沿うように加湿フィルター部１０９の方向、つまり上方向に流れる。 That is, by operating the air blowing unit 112, air is sucked into the main body case 103 from the second air inlet 101b, and this air passes through the lower part of the air purification filter 107 provided in the main body case 103. Then, it flows between the air purification filter 107 and the water tank 108 in the direction of the humidification filter section 109, that is, in the upward direction, along one side wall portion on the air purification filter 107 side of the longitudinal side portion of the water tank 108.
　次に、水槽１０８側壁部の上部で風向を上方向から略水平方向に変化させ、加湿フィルター部１０９を通過し、加湿フィルター部１０９に対向したケーシング吸込口１１８に流れる。ここで、ケーシング吸込口１１８は加湿フィルター部１０９に対向した位置にあると共に、ケーシング吸込口１１８の周縁部の下部は水槽１０８の上端部より高い位置にある。そのため、加湿フィルター部１０９を通過した空気は、水槽１０８の長手辺部の送風部１１２側である一方の側壁部に当たることが低減され、ケーシング吸込口１１８に流れるので、風路圧損を低減することができる。 Next, the wind direction is changed from the upper direction to the substantially horizontal direction at the upper part of the side wall of the water tank 108, passes through the humidifying filter unit 109, and flows to the casing suction port 118 facing the humidifying filter unit 109. Here, the casing suction port 118 is at a position facing the humidifying filter portion 109, and the lower portion of the peripheral edge portion of the casing suction port 118 is at a position higher than the upper end portion of the water tank 108. Therefore, the air that has passed through the humidifying filter portion 109 is reduced from hitting one side wall portion on the air blowing portion 112 side of the long side portion of the water tank 108 and flows to the casing suction port 118, thereby reducing the airway pressure loss. Can do.
　また図１０に示すように、前面化粧板１０４が駆動部１０６により駆動範囲における最下点に位置する場合、前面化粧板１０４を風路における空気清浄部の風上側面とほぼ平行に設けている。そして図８に示すように、前面化粧板１０４が駆動部１０６により駆動範囲における中間点に位置する場合、前面化粧板１０４と空気清浄部との水平距離は、空気清浄部の下部より上部の方を長くしている。具体的には図１０に示すように、前面化粧板１０４が駆動部１０６により駆動範囲における最下点に位置する場合、前面化粧板１０４は空気清浄部の風路風上側面とほぼ平行になる。つまり本体ケース１０３の両側面部と、略縦長四角平板形状の前面化粧板１０４とから形成される第１の吸気口１０１ａの形状が略縦長四角形状となる。第１の吸気口１０１ａの水平方向の距離は、空気清浄部の下部から上部までがほぼ同一となる。 As shown in FIG. 10, when the front decorative plate 104 is positioned at the lowest point in the driving range by the drive unit 106, the front decorative plate 104 is provided substantially parallel to the upwind side surface of the air purifying unit in the air path. . As shown in FIG. 8, when the front decorative plate 104 is positioned at an intermediate point in the driving range by the driving unit 106, the horizontal distance between the front decorative plate 104 and the air purifying unit is higher than the lower portion of the air purifying unit. To make it longer. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 10, when the front decorative plate 104 is positioned at the lowest point in the driving range by the drive unit 106, the front decorative plate 104 is substantially parallel to the windward upwind side surface of the air cleaning unit. . That is, the shape of the first intake port 101a formed by the both side surfaces of the main body case 103 and the front decorative plate 104 having a substantially vertically long rectangular flat plate shape is a substantially vertically long rectangular shape. The distance in the horizontal direction of the first intake port 101a is substantially the same from the lower part to the upper part of the air cleaning part.
　ここで図８に示すように、駆動部１０６により前面化粧板１０４が駆動範囲における最下点から中間点に移動した場合、前面化粧板１０４と空気清浄部との水平距離は、空気清浄部の下部より上部の方が長くなる。つまり本体ケース１０３の両側面部と、略縦長四角平板形状の前面化粧板１０４とから形成される第１の吸気口１０１ａの形状が略台形形状となる。空気清浄部の下部より上部なるほど、第１の吸気口１０１ａの水平方向の距離が長くなる。 Here, as shown in FIG. 8, when the front decorative plate 104 is moved from the lowest point in the driving range to the intermediate point by the driving unit 106, the horizontal distance between the front decorative plate 104 and the air purifying unit is The upper part is longer than the lower part. That is, the shape of the first air inlet 101a formed from both side portions of the main body case 103 and the front decorative plate 104 having a substantially vertically long rectangular flat plate shape is a substantially trapezoidal shape. The distance in the horizontal direction of the first intake port 101a becomes longer as it goes above the lower part of the air cleaning part.
　すなわち、前面化粧板１０４が駆動部１０６により駆動範囲における最下点から中間点に移動した場合、前面化粧板１０４と空気清浄部との水平距離は、空気清浄部の下部より上部の方が長くなる。そのため、空気清浄部の上部での第１の吸気口１０１ａの開口面積が増加すると共に、空気清浄部の上部での前面化粧板１０４との間の空間が広がる。この空間により第１の吸気口１０１ａから吸い込まれた室内空気は、空気清浄部の上部に均一に流れ易くなる。 That is, when the front decorative plate 104 is moved from the lowest point to the middle point in the driving range by the driving unit 106, the horizontal distance between the front decorative plate 104 and the air cleaning unit is longer at the upper part than at the lower part of the air cleaning unit. Become. Therefore, the opening area of the first intake port 101a at the upper part of the air cleaning part increases, and the space between the front decorative plate 104 at the upper part of the air cleaning part increases. The room air sucked from the first intake port 101a by this space is easy to flow uniformly to the upper part of the air cleaning unit.
　また、前面化粧板１０４を上下前後動させる駆動部１０６は、軸部と、この軸部の一端を中心に他端が上下に回動するように軸部の一端側に設けた回動部とから形成されている。軸部の他端側に前面化粧板１０４を設け、駆動部１０６は前面化粧板１０４の上部と下部に各２箇所設けている。この上部の駆動部１０６の軸部の長さは、下部の駆動部１０６の軸部の長さより長くしている。 In addition, the driving unit 106 that moves the front decorative plate 104 up and down is provided with a shaft part and a rotating part provided on one end side of the shaft part so that the other end rotates up and down around one end of the shaft part. Formed from. The front decorative plate 104 is provided on the other end side of the shaft portion, and the drive unit 106 is provided at two locations on the upper and lower portions of the front decorative plate 104. The length of the shaft portion of the upper drive unit 106 is longer than the length of the shaft portion of the lower drive unit 106.
　具体的には、本体ケース１０３内の前面側の４箇所の角部付近に４つの駆動部１０６を設けている。駆動部１０６は、軸部と回動部とから形成され、軸部の一端を中心に他端が上下に回動するように軸部の一端側に回動部を設けている。４つの駆動部１０６うち、本体ケース１０３内の前面側である上部２箇所の角部付近に設けた２つの上部の駆動部１０６は、回転の中心となる軸部の一端が同一回転軸上に位置する。同様に、本体ケース３内の前面側である下部２箇所の角部付近に設けた２つの下部の駆動部１０６は、回転の中心となる軸部の一端が同一回転軸上に位置する。ここで、上部の駆動部１０６である軸部の長さが、下部の駆動部１０６である軸部の長さより長くしている。 Specifically, four drive units 106 are provided in the vicinity of four corners on the front side in the main body case 103. The drive unit 106 is formed of a shaft portion and a rotation portion, and a rotation portion is provided on one end side of the shaft portion so that the other end rotates up and down around one end of the shaft portion. Of the four drive units 106, two upper drive units 106 provided in the vicinity of the upper two corners on the front side in the main body case 103 have one end of a shaft portion serving as the center of rotation on the same rotation axis. To position. Similarly, in the two lower drive units 106 provided in the vicinity of the two lower corners on the front surface side in the main body case 3, one end of the shaft portion serving as the center of rotation is positioned on the same rotation axis. Here, the length of the shaft portion that is the upper drive unit 106 is longer than the length of the shaft portion that is the lower drive unit 106.
　すなわち、前面化粧板１０４が駆動部１０６により最下点から中間点に移動する場合、駆動部である回動部が軸部の一端を中心に他端に固定された前面化粧板１０４を駆動範囲における最下点から中間点に移動させる。つまり、軸部の一端を中心に軸部の他端が、本体ケース１０３から離れながら、上方へ移動する。ここで、上部の駆動部１０６の軸部の長さが、下部の駆動部１０６の軸部の長さより長いので、空気清浄部の上部での水平方向の第１の吸気口１０１ａの開口寸法が増加すると共に、空気清浄部の上部での前面化粧板１０４との間の空間が広がる。この空間により第１の吸気口１０１ａから吸い込まれた室内空気は、空気清浄部の上部に均一に流れ易くなる。 That is, when the front decorative plate 104 is moved from the lowest point to the intermediate point by the drive unit 106, the rotation unit as the drive unit moves the front decorative plate 104 fixed to the other end around the one end of the shaft portion. Move from the lowest point to the middle point. That is, the other end of the shaft portion moves upward with the one end of the shaft portion as the center while being separated from the main body case 103. Here, since the length of the shaft part of the upper drive unit 106 is longer than the length of the shaft part of the lower drive unit 106, the opening size of the first intake port 101a in the horizontal direction at the upper part of the air cleaning unit is as follows. As the number increases, the space between the front decorative plate 104 and the upper portion of the air purifying portion increases. The room air sucked from the first intake port 101a by this space is easy to flow uniformly to the upper part of the air cleaning unit.
　また、上部の駆動部１０６および下部の駆動部１０６の軸部の長さを変えるだけで、空気清浄部の上部での水平方向の第１の吸気口１０１ａの開口寸法と、空気清浄部の下部での水平方向の第１の吸気口１０１ａの開口寸法とのバランスを容易に調整することができる。 Further, by simply changing the length of the shaft portion of the upper drive unit 106 and the lower drive unit 106, the opening size of the first intake port 101a in the horizontal direction at the upper part of the air purification unit and the lower part of the air purification unit The balance with the opening dimension of the first air inlet 101a in the horizontal direction at can be easily adjusted.

The air blower 211 is provided on the downstream side of the humidifying filter 206 in the air path from the air inlet 201 to the air outlet 202.
　このような構成における空気清浄および、加湿動作について説明する。水タンク２０４より、水槽に常時一定の水位となるように水が供給される。この水に給水部２０９と、加湿フィルター部２０６の一部とが常時浸った状態となる。ここでモータ２１０によって、給水部２０９と加湿フィルター部２０６とが回転し、給水部２０９によってくみ上げられた水が給水部２０９上部付近において滴り落ちる。そして、加湿フィルター部２０６を湿らせる。 The air cleaning and humidifying operation in such a configuration will be described. Water is supplied from the water tank 204 to the water tank so that the water level is always constant. The water supply unit 209 and a part of the humidifying filter unit 206 are always immersed in this water. Here, the water supply unit 209 and the humidification filter unit 206 are rotated by the motor 210, and the water pumped up by the water supply unit 209 dripping near the upper part of the water supply unit 209. And the humidification filter part 206 is moistened.
　本発明の実施の形態３における空気清浄装置の特徴は、空気清浄部と送風部２１１とを繋ぐバイパス風路２１２を設けていることである。さらに加湿フィルター部２０６と、バイパス風路２１２とを送風部２１１の送風部吸込口２１３に対向した位置に備えたことである。 The feature of the air purifying device in Embodiment 3 of the present invention is that a bypass air passage 212 that connects the air purifying unit and the air blowing unit 211 is provided. Furthermore, the humidifying filter part 206 and the bypass air passage 212 are provided at positions facing the air blowing part suction port 213 of the air blowing part 211.
　すなわち、バイパス風路２１２は空気清浄部と送風部２１１とを加湿部である加湿フィルター部２０６を介さずに繋ぐ。吸気口２０１から本体ケース２０３内に吸気した空気は、空気清浄フィルター２０５を通り、加湿フィルター部２０６を介して送風部２１１に送風される空気清浄加湿風路とは別に、空気清浄フィルター２０５からバイパス風路２１２を介して送風部２１１に送風される空気清浄風路を備えている。 That is, the bypass air passage 212 connects the air cleaning unit and the air blowing unit 211 without using the humidifying filter unit 206 which is a humidifying unit. The air sucked into the main body case 203 from the air inlet 201 passes through the air purification filter 205 and bypasses from the air purification filter 205 separately from the air purification humidification air path that is blown to the air blowing unit 211 via the humidification filter unit 206. An air cleaning air passage that is blown to the blower 211 via the air passage 212 is provided.
　このように、加湿部である円板状の加湿フィルター部２０６の下流側に送風部２１１を備え、空気清浄フィルター２０５と送風部２１１とを繋ぐバイパス風路２１２を設けている。さらに加湿フィルター部２０６とバイパス風路２１２とが送風部吸込口２１３に対向した位置に備えられている。そのため吸気口２０１から吸気された空気は、空気清浄フィルター２０５を介し加湿フィルター部２０６を通過し送風部２１１に吸い込まれる空気と、バイパス風路２１２を通過し送風部２１１により吸い込まれる空気との２経路の空気が排気口２０２から室内に排気される。 As described above, the air blowing unit 211 is provided on the downstream side of the disc-shaped humidifying filter unit 206 serving as the humidifying unit, and the bypass air passage 212 that connects the air cleaning filter 205 and the air blowing unit 211 is provided. Further, the humidifying filter portion 206 and the bypass air passage 212 are provided at positions facing the air blowing portion suction port 213. Therefore, the air sucked from the air inlet 201 passes through the humidifying filter part 206 through the air purifying filter 205 and is sucked into the air blowing part 211 and air sucked into the air blowing part 211 through the bypass air passage 212. The air in the path is exhausted from the exhaust port 202 into the room.
　その結果、吸気された空気は加湿フィルター部２０６を通過する回数が１回となると共に、加湿フィルター部２０６において空気の流れは方向転換せずに送風する。つまり、空気清浄加湿風路における加湿フィルター部２０６での空気の流れが一直線となり、風路による通風抵抗を小さくすることができる。更に、加湿部を介さないバイパス風路２１２を設けたので、空気清浄風路は加湿フィルター部２０６の通風抵抗がなくなり、代わりにバイパス風路２１２の通風抵抗となるので、通風抵抗は小さくなる。これらの結果、加湿空気、清浄空気の風量を多くすることができる。 As a result, the inhaled air passes through the humidifying filter unit 206 once, and the air flow in the humidifying filter unit 206 is blown without changing its direction. That is, the air flow in the humidification filter part 206 in the air clean humidification air path becomes a straight line, and the ventilation resistance by an air path can be made small. Furthermore, since the bypass air passage 212 not provided with the humidifying portion is provided, the air cleaning air passage has no ventilation resistance of the humidification filter portion 206, and instead becomes the ventilation resistance of the bypass air passage 212, and thus the ventilation resistance is reduced. As a result, the air volume of humidified air and clean air can be increased.
　また、空気清浄フィルター２０５は送風部吸込口２１３に対向した位置に設けられ、加湿フィルター部２０６より面積が大きく、給水部２０９の上端より突出している。吸気口２０１から排気口２０２までの風路において、空気清浄部から加湿フィルター部２０６への風路の断面積は、空気清浄部の面積から加湿フィルター部２０６の面積に徐々に狭くなる。 Moreover, the air purifying filter 205 is provided at a position facing the air blowing section suction port 213, has a larger area than the humidifying filter section 206, and protrudes from the upper end of the water supply section 209. In the air path from the air inlet 201 to the air outlet 202, the cross-sectional area of the air path from the air purifier to the humidifying filter 206 is gradually narrowed from the area of the air purifier to the area of the humidifying filter 206.
　すなわち空気清浄フィルター２０５の面積は、加湿フィルター部２０６の面積より大きく、その大きい部分は加湿部の給水部２０９より上端より突出している。そのため、空気清浄フィルター２０５から加湿フィルター部２０６への風路は、空気清浄フィルター２０５の面積から徐々に加湿フィルター部２０６の面積へ風路が狭くなり、その狭くなる部分が加湿部の給水部２０９の上端より突出している空気清浄フィルター部分である。 That is, the area of the air purifying filter 205 is larger than the area of the humidifying filter part 206, and the larger part protrudes from the upper end of the water supply part 209 of the humidifying part. Therefore, the air path from the air purification filter 205 to the humidification filter unit 206 gradually narrows from the area of the air purification filter 205 to the area of the humidification filter unit 206, and the narrowed portion is the water supply unit 209 of the humidification unit. It is the air purifying filter part which protrudes from the upper end.
　このように、空気清浄フィルター２０５の面積は加湿フィルター部２０６の面積より大きいので、空気清浄フィルター２０５の通風抵抗は小さい。また空気清浄フィルター２０５から加湿フィルター部２０６への風路は、空気清浄フィルター２０５の面積から徐々に加湿フィルター部２０６の面積へ風路が狭くなる。そのため、その風路において急激な風路断面積の変化が無いので、通風抵抗は小さくなり、風量を多くすることができる。 Thus, since the area of the air cleaning filter 205 is larger than the area of the humidifying filter unit 206, the ventilation resistance of the air cleaning filter 205 is small. Further, the air path from the air purification filter 205 to the humidification filter unit 206 gradually narrows from the area of the air purification filter 205 to the area of the humidification filter unit 206. Therefore, since there is no sudden change in the air passage cross-sectional area in the air passage, the ventilation resistance is reduced, and the air volume can be increased.
　また、バイパス風路２１２は給水部２０９の上部に設けている。すなわちバイパス風路２１２には、主に空気清浄フィルター２０５部分を通過した空気が流れ込む。また空気清浄フィルター２０５から加湿フィルター部２０６への風路には、空気清浄フィルター２０５の面積から徐々に加湿フィルター部２０６の面積へ狭くなる風路の空気が、風路上部に沿って流れ込む。そのため、通風抵抗は小さくなり、加湿空気、清浄空気の風量を多くすることができる。 Further, the bypass air passage 212 is provided in the upper part of the water supply unit 209. That is, air that has mainly passed through the air purification filter 205 flows into the bypass air passage 212. In addition, air in the air path that gradually narrows from the area of the air cleaning filter 205 to the area of the humidifying filter section 206 flows into the air path from the air cleaning filter 205 to the humidifying filter section 206 along the upper portion of the air path. Therefore, ventilation resistance becomes small and the air volume of humidified air and clean air can be increased.
　また、送風部吸込口２１３の中心は、加湿部の回転軸より上部に位置する。すなわち空気清浄風路の空気の流れは、ほぼ一直線となり、風路による通風抵抗を小さくすることができるので、加湿空気、清浄空気の風量を多くすることができる。 Also, the center of the blower inlet 213 is located above the rotation axis of the humidifier. That is, the flow of air in the air clean air path is substantially in a straight line, and the ventilation resistance by the air path can be reduced, so that the air volume of humidified air and clean air can be increased.
　また、送風部吸込口２１３の中心は、給水部２０９が駆動範囲における最上点付近から回転する回転方向の下流側に位置する。ここで、給水部２０９が給水する最上点と、回転軸の中心とを結ぶ垂直面において、給水部２０９が最上点付近から回転する回転方向の下流側面と上流側面とに加湿フィルター部２０６を分ける。給水部２０９が最上点付近において加湿フィルター部２０６へ給水し、この給水によって加湿フィルター部２０６に水が含まれるので、給水部２０９が最上点付近から回転する回転方向の下流側面の加湿フィルター部２０６の方が上流側面の加湿フィルター部２０６に比べ、多くの水が含まれる。送風部吸込口２１３の中心は、給水部２０９が最上点付近から回転する回転方向の下流側に位置することによって、上流側面の加湿フィルター部２０６に比べ多くの空気が下流側面の加湿フィルター部２０６に流れる。そのため、多くの水が含まれる加湿フィルター部２０６部分に多くの空気が流れることにより、加湿性能が向上する。 Further, the center of the blower suction port 213 is located on the downstream side in the rotation direction in which the water supply unit 209 rotates from the vicinity of the uppermost point in the driving range. Here, the humidifying filter unit 206 is divided into a downstream side surface and an upstream side surface in the rotation direction in which the water supply unit 209 rotates from the vicinity of the uppermost point on a vertical plane connecting the uppermost point supplied by the water supply unit 209 and the center of the rotation axis. . The water supply unit 209 supplies water to the humidification filter unit 206 in the vicinity of the uppermost point, and water is contained in the humidification filter unit 206 by this water supply, so the humidification filter unit 206 on the downstream side surface in the rotational direction in which the water supply unit 209 rotates from the vicinity of the uppermost point. Compared with the humidifying filter portion 206 on the upstream side, more water is contained. The center of the blower suction port 213 is located on the downstream side in the rotational direction in which the water supply unit 209 rotates from the vicinity of the uppermost point, so that a larger amount of air than the humidifying filter unit 206 on the upstream side surface is humidified. Flowing into. Therefore, humidification performance is improved by flowing a large amount of air through the humidifying filter portion 206 containing a large amount of water.
　また、送風部２１１の吹出口２１５から排気口２０２へ広がるように、送風部吸込口２１３側の吹出面が空気清浄部側に傾斜面２１４を有する。すなわち、送風部２１１の吹出口２１５から排気口２０２へ徐々に広がるように、送風部吸込口２１３側の吹出面が空気清浄部側に傾斜する傾斜面２１４を備えている。送風部２１１の吹出口２１５から吹出された空気が、排気口２０２へ徐々に広がる風路を介して排気口２０２から室内に排気される。そのため、その風路での通風抵抗は小さくなり、更に排気口２０２を大きく出来るので、排気口２０２での通風抵抗も小さくなり加湿空気、清浄空気の風量を多くすることができる。 Moreover, the blowing surface on the air blowing unit suction port 213 side has an inclined surface 214 on the air cleaning unit side so as to spread from the air blowing port 215 of the air blowing unit 211 to the exhaust port 202. That is, the blowing surface on the air blower inlet port 213 side is provided with the inclined surface 214 that is inclined toward the air purifying unit so as to gradually spread from the air outlet 215 of the air blower 211 to the exhaust port 202. Air blown from the blower outlet 215 of the blower unit 211 is exhausted from the exhaust port 202 into the room through a wind path that gradually spreads to the exhaust port 202. Therefore, the ventilation resistance in the air passage is reduced, and the exhaust port 202 can be further increased. Therefore, the ventilation resistance at the exhaust port 202 is also reduced, and the air volume of humidified air and clean air can be increased.
　また、傾斜面２１４が湾曲形状である。すなわち、送風部２１１の吹出面の傾斜面２１４が、送風部２１１の吹出口２１５から吹出された空気が排気口２０２へ徐々に広がる風路内に凸状に湾曲した湾曲形状である。この湾曲形状の傾斜面に沿って空気が吹出されるので、すなわち本体ケース２０３の前面方向に吹出され、吹出し空気の吹出す範囲が広くなる。 In addition, the inclined surface 214 has a curved shape. That is, the inclined surface 214 of the blowing surface of the blower unit 211 has a curved shape that is convexly curved in an air passage in which air blown from the blower outlet 215 of the blower unit 211 gradually spreads to the exhaust port 202. Since the air is blown out along the curved inclined surface, that is, the air is blown out toward the front surface of the main body case 203, the range of the blown-out air is widened.
　また、排気口２０２に回動可能に風向板２１６を備えたので、容易に風向を調節することが出来る。 Also, since the wind direction plate 216 is provided at the exhaust port 202 so as to be rotatable, the wind direction can be easily adjusted.
　また、風向板２１６は送風部２１１のモータ２１０固定側の吹出面側に回動の中心を有するので、本体ケース２０３の前面方向に容易に吹出すことが出来る。そのため、本体ケース２０３を室内の壁近くに置いた場合、室内中央方向に吹出すことが出来る。 In addition, since the wind direction plate 216 has a center of rotation on the blowing surface side of the air blower 211 on the fixed side of the motor 210, it can be easily blown out toward the front surface of the main body case 203. Therefore, when the main body case 203 is placed near the wall in the room, it can be blown out toward the center of the room.

　本発明の実施の形態４の空気清浄装置は、吸気口３０１および排気口３０２を有する縦長箱型の本体ケース３０３と、本体ケース３０３内に空気清浄部と、加湿部とを備えている。本体ケース３０３の側面には吸気口３０１を設け、本体ケース３０３の天面には排気口３０２を設けている。 The air cleaning device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention includes a vertically long box-shaped main body case 303 having an intake port 301 and an exhaust port 302, an air cleaning unit, and a humidifying unit in the main body case 303. An intake port 301 is provided on the side surface of the main body case 303, and an exhaust port 302 is provided on the top surface of the main body case 303.
　空気清浄部は蛇腹状に折られた濾材を額縁状の枠に固定された空気清浄フィルター３０５であり、吸気口３０１の近傍に設けられている。本体ケース３０３の吸気口３０１から吸い込まれた空気は、空気清浄フィルター３０５に流れ込む。 The air purification part is an air purification filter 305 in which a filter medium folded in a bellows shape is fixed to a frame-like frame, and is provided in the vicinity of the intake port 301. Air sucked from the intake port 301 of the main body case 303 flows into the air cleaning filter 305.
　加湿部は放湿部分と、水供給部分と、放湿部分を回転させる回転部とから形成されている。 The humidification part is formed of a moisture release part, a water supply part, and a rotating part that rotates the moisture release part.
　放湿部分は円板状の加湿フィルター部３０６と、加湿フィルター部３０６を固定し回転自在に設けられた加湿フィルター枠部３０７とから形成されている。加湿フィルター部３０６は、水を保持する性質を持っている。加湿フィルター部３０６は、水を保持した状態の加湿フィルター部３０６に空気を通過させることにより水が気化し、高湿度の空気を排気口３０２から吐出する。加湿フィルター枠部３０７は、中央部に加湿フィルター部３０６を固定し、外周部に水供給部分である給水部３０８を備えている。 The moisture release portion is formed by a disc-shaped humidifying filter portion 306 and a humidifying filter frame portion 307 that is fixed to the humidifying filter portion 306 and is rotatably provided. The humidifying filter unit 306 has a property of holding water. The humidifying filter unit 306 evaporates water by allowing air to pass through the humidifying filter unit 306 in a state of holding water, and discharges high-humidity air from the exhaust port 302. The humidifying filter frame portion 307 has a humidifying filter portion 306 fixed at the center and a water supply portion 308 that is a water supply portion on the outer peripheral portion.
　水供給部分は、加湿フィルター部３０６の下部に設けられた略椀状の水槽３０９と、水槽３０９に一定の水を供給する水タンク３０４と、加湿フィルター部３０６に水を供給する給水部３０８とから構成されている。加湿フィルター枠部３０７は、加湿フィルター部３０６の一部と、給水部３０８とが水槽３０９に供給された水に常時浸かるように設置され、給水部３０８を回転させる回転部であるモータ３１０を備えている。 The water supply portion includes a substantially bowl-shaped water tank 309 provided at the lower portion of the humidifying filter section 306, a water tank 304 that supplies constant water to the water tank 309, and a water supply section 308 that supplies water to the humidifying filter section 306. It is composed of The humidifying filter frame portion 307 is installed so that a part of the humidifying filter portion 306 and the water supply unit 308 are always immersed in the water supplied to the water tank 309, and includes a motor 310 that is a rotating unit that rotates the water supply unit 308. ing.
　図１６に示す送風部３１１は、吸気口３０１から本体ケース３０３内に空気を吸気し、その空気を空気清浄フィルター３０５と、加湿部である加湿フィルター部３０６とを順次通り排気口３０２へと送風するために設ける。送風部３１１は加湿フィルター部３０６の下流側に設けられ、送風部３１１の送風部吸込口３１２は加湿フィルター部３０６に対向した風路面に備えられている。 The air blowing unit 311 shown in FIG. 16 sucks air into the main body case 303 from the air inlet 301, and blows the air to the air outlet 302 through the air purifying filter 305 and the humidifying filter unit 306 as a humidifying unit in order. Provide to do. The air blowing unit 311 is provided on the downstream side of the humidifying filter unit 306, and the air blowing unit suction port 312 of the air blowing unit 311 is provided on the air path surface facing the humidifying filter unit 306.
　このような構成における空気清浄および、加湿動作について説明する。 The air cleaning and humidifying operation in such a configuration will be described.
　水タンク３０４より水槽３０９に常時一定の水位となるように水が供給される。この水に加湿部の水供給部である給水部３０８と、加湿フィルター部３０６の一部とが常時浸かった状態となる。ここで回転部であるモータ３１０によって加湿フィルター枠部３０７を回転させる。そして水を汲んだ給水部３０８と加湿フィルター部３０６とが回転し、給水部３０８によって汲み上げられた水が給水部３０８上部付近において滴り落ち、加湿フィルター部３０６を湿らせる。つまりモータ３１０により加湿フィルター枠部３０７を回転させ続けることによって加湿フィルター部３０６は、常時水を保持した状態になる。 Water is supplied from the water tank 304 to the water tank 309 so that the water level is always constant. The water supply unit 308 which is the water supply unit of the humidification unit and a part of the humidification filter unit 306 are always immersed in this water. Here, the humidifying filter frame portion 307 is rotated by the motor 310 which is a rotating portion. Then, the water supply unit 308 and the humidification filter unit 306 that have drawn water rotate, and the water pumped up by the water supply unit 308 dripping near the upper part of the water supply unit 308 to wet the humidification filter unit 306. That is, by continuing to rotate the humidifying filter frame portion 307 by the motor 310, the humidifying filter portion 306 is in a state of constantly holding water.
　ここで、送風部３１１を動かすことにより、吸気口３０１から本体ケース３０３内に空気が吸い込まれる。その後空気は本体ケース３０３内に備えられた空気清浄フィルター３０５と、水を保持した状態の加湿フィルター部３０６とを通過し加湿清浄空気となり、排気口３０２から室内に排出される。 Here, by moving the blower 311, air is sucked into the main body case 303 from the intake port 301. Thereafter, the air passes through the air purification filter 305 provided in the main body case 303 and the humidification filter portion 306 holding water, becomes humidified clean air, and is discharged into the room from the exhaust port 302.
　本発明の実施の形態４の空気清浄装置の特徴は、バイパス風路３１３と整流部３１４とにある。具体的には、空気清浄部と送風部３１１とを繋ぐバイパス風路３１３を備え、バイパス風路３１３を加湿フィルター部３０６の略上部に設けている。そして加湿フィルター部３０６に対向した風路面に送風部吸込口３１２を備え、送風部吸込口３１２の周縁部に整流部３１４を設けている。 The characteristics of the air cleaning device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention are the bypass air passage 313 and the rectifying unit 314. Specifically, a bypass air passage 313 that connects the air cleaning unit and the air blowing unit 311 is provided, and the bypass air passage 313 is provided substantially at the upper portion of the humidifying filter unit 306. The air passage surface facing the humidifying filter portion 306 is provided with a blower suction port 312, and a rectifying portion 314 is provided at the peripheral edge of the blower suction port 312.
　すなわち、空気清浄部と送風部３１１とを繋ぐバイパス風路３１３を加湿フィルター部３０６の略上部に設けている。そのため吸気口３０１から吸気された空気は、空気清浄部を介し加湿フィルター部３０６を通過し送風部３１１に吸い込まれる空気と、バイパス風路３１３を通過し送風部３１１により吸い込まれる空気との２経路に分岐する。そして２経路の空気が、送風部３１１により排気口３０２から室内に排気される。 That is, a bypass air passage 313 that connects the air purifying unit and the air blowing unit 311 is provided substantially at the upper portion of the humidifying filter unit 306. Therefore, the air sucked from the air inlet 301 passes through the humidifying filter unit 306 through the air purifying unit 306, and the air that is sucked into the air blowing unit 311 and the air that passes through the bypass air passage 313 and is sucked in by the air blowing unit 311. Branch to Then, the air in the two paths is exhausted from the exhaust port 302 into the room by the blower 311.
　その結果、加湿フィルター部３０６を介さないバイパス風路３１３を設けたので、通風抵抗が小さくなる。更に、送風部吸込口３１２の周縁部に整流部３１４を設けたので、空気清浄部の略上部を通過した清浄空気の一部が整流部３１４により加湿フィルター部３０６に誘導され、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過する風量が増大し、加湿能力を向上できる。 As a result, since the bypass air passage 313 that does not include the humidifying filter portion 306 is provided, the ventilation resistance is reduced. Further, since the rectifying unit 314 is provided at the peripheral portion of the air blowing unit suction port 312, a part of the clean air that has passed through substantially the upper part of the air cleaning unit is guided to the humidifying filter unit 306 by the rectifying unit 314, and the humidifying filter unit 306. The amount of air passing through the can be increased and the humidification ability can be improved.
　これらの結果により、加湿清浄空気の風量を多くすることができると共に、加湿能力を向上できる。 These results can increase the air volume of the humidified clean air and improve the humidification capacity.
　また、整流部３１４は送風部吸込口３１２の周縁部にあり、加湿フィルター部３０６側に突出した円環状の突起部３１５により構成されている。すなわち、空気清浄部の略上部を通過した清浄空気の一部が突起部３１５に当たることにより、流速が遅くなると共に、風向を突起部３１５から加湿フィルター部３０６方向に流れるように風向を変化させる。そのため、空気清浄部の略中央部を通過した清浄空気の一部が空気清浄部から送風部吸込口３１２へ流れるバイパス風路３１３の流れに引っ張られる。加湿フィルター部３０６を避けて送風部吸込口３１２に流入していた清浄空気は、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過するように流れが変化する。このように加湿フィルター部３０６を通過する風量が増加することにより、加湿清浄空気の風量を多くすることができると共に、加湿能力を向上できる。 Further, the rectifying unit 314 is located at the peripheral portion of the air blowing unit suction port 312, and is configured by an annular projecting portion 315 projecting toward the humidifying filter unit 306. That is, a part of the clean air that has passed through substantially the upper part of the air purifying unit hits the projection 315, thereby reducing the flow velocity and changing the wind direction so that the wind direction flows from the projection 315 toward the humidifying filter 306. Therefore, a part of the clean air that has passed through the substantially central portion of the air purifying unit is pulled by the flow of the bypass air passage 313 that flows from the air purifying unit to the blower intake port 312. The flow of clean air that has flowed into the blower suction port 312 while avoiding the humidifying filter 306 changes so as to pass through the humidifying filter 306. By increasing the air volume passing through the humidifying filter unit 306 in this way, it is possible to increase the air volume of the humidified clean air and improve the humidifying capacity.
　また突起部３１５の外周部は、送風部吸込口３１２に対して垂直方向に延びた垂直面部３１６を備える。具体的には、突起部３１５の外周部は円柱形状であり、突起部３１５の中心軸は送風部吸込口３１２の中心を通り、送風部吸込口３１２の面に垂直に交わっている。 Moreover, the outer peripheral part of the protrusion part 315 is provided with the vertical surface part 316 extended in the orthogonal | vertical direction with respect to the ventilation part suction inlet 312. Specifically, the outer peripheral portion of the protrusion 315 has a columnar shape, and the central axis of the protrusion 315 passes through the center of the blower suction port 312 and intersects the surface of the blower suction port 312 perpendicularly.
　すなわち、空気清浄部の略上部を通過した清浄空気の一部が垂直面部３１６に当たることにより、清浄空気は流速が遅くなる。また清浄空気は、垂直面部３１６に沿って風向を突起部３１５から加湿フィルター部３０６方向に流れるように風向を変化させられる。そのため空気清浄部の略中央部を通過した清浄空気の一部が空気清浄部から直接、送風部吸込口３１２へ流れるバイパス風路３１３の流れに引っ張られる。加湿フィルター部３０６を避けて送風部吸込口３１２に流入していた清浄空気は、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過するように流れが変化する。このように加湿フィルター部３０６を通過する風量が増加することにより、加湿清浄空気の風量を多くすることができると共に、加湿能力を向上できる。 That is, when a part of the clean air that has passed through substantially the upper portion of the air cleaning unit hits the vertical surface portion 316, the flow rate of the clean air becomes slow. Further, the direction of the air is changed so that the clean air flows along the vertical surface portion 316 from the protrusion 315 toward the humidifying filter 306. Therefore, a part of the clean air that has passed through the substantially central portion of the air cleaning unit is pulled directly by the flow of the bypass air passage 313 that flows from the air cleaning unit to the blower intake port 312. The flow of clean air that has flowed into the blower suction port 312 while avoiding the humidifying filter 306 changes so as to pass through the humidifying filter 306. By increasing the air volume passing through the humidifying filter unit 306 in this way, it is possible to increase the air volume of the humidified clean air and improve the humidifying capacity.
　また突起部３１５の内周部は、送風部吸込口３１２の外周部から内周部方向に曲面形状の曲面部を備えている。具体的には、突起部３１５の内周に囲まれた面積は、加湿フィルター部３０６側から送風部吸込口３１２側に向けて次第に小さくなるように、突起部３１５の内周部は曲面形状になり、その曲面は内側に膨らんでいる。すなわち、突起部３１５の内側の通風面積を、加湿フィルター部３０６側から送風部吸込口３１２にかけてなだらかに小さくしている。そして、その曲面部は加湿フィルター部３０６を通過し乱れた空気の流れが整え、送風部３１１に流入する空気の流れを整える作用を有する。 Moreover, the inner peripheral part of the protrusion part 315 is equipped with the curved surface part of a curved surface in the inner peripheral part direction from the outer peripheral part of the ventilation part suction inlet 312. FIG. Specifically, the inner periphery of the protrusion 315 has a curved shape so that the area surrounded by the inner periphery of the protrusion 315 gradually decreases from the humidifying filter 306 side toward the blower inlet 312 side. The curved surface swells inward. That is, the ventilation area inside the protrusion 315 is gradually reduced from the humidifying filter 306 side to the blower suction port 312. And the curved surface part has the effect | action which adjusts the flow of the turbulent air which passes through the humidification filter part 306, and adjusts the flow of the air which flows in into the ventilation part 311.
　また、加湿フィルター部３０６の面積は送風部吸込口３１２の面積より大きく、加湿フィルター部３０６の中心は送風部吸込口３１２の中心より低い位置に配置されている。具体的には、加湿部は上面が開口した略椀形状であり、水槽３０９と、加湿フィルター枠部３０７と、加湿フィルター部３０６とから形成されている。ここで水槽３０９は、水タンク３０４より一定の水が供給される。加湿フィルター枠部３０７は、水槽３０９の側壁部の上端である側壁上端部３１８より上方に伸びた軸受け部３１７に回転自在に設けられている。加湿フィルター部３０６は、加湿フィルター枠部３０７に固定された円板形状である。 Further, the area of the humidifying filter portion 306 is larger than the area of the air blowing portion suction port 312, and the center of the humidifying filter portion 306 is disposed at a position lower than the center of the air blowing portion suction port 312. Specifically, the humidifying portion has a substantially bowl shape with an open top surface, and is formed of a water tank 309, a humidifying filter frame portion 307, and a humidifying filter portion 306. Here, the water tank 309 is supplied with constant water from the water tank 304. The humidifying filter frame portion 307 is rotatably provided on a bearing portion 317 that extends upward from a side wall upper end portion 318 that is the upper end of the side wall portion of the water tank 309. The humidifying filter portion 306 has a disk shape fixed to the humidifying filter frame portion 307.
　送風部吸込口３１２は、加湿フィルター部３０６に対向した位置に備えられている。送風部吸込口３１２の開口上端部の高さは加湿フィルター枠部３０７の上端部の高さより高く、送風部吸込口３１２の開口下端部の高さは水槽３０９の側壁部の側壁上端部３１８の高さより高くしている。 The blower inlet 312 is provided at a position facing the humidifying filter 306. The height of the opening upper end portion of the blower inlet port 312 is higher than the height of the upper end portion of the humidifying filter frame portion 307, and the height of the lower opening portion of the blower inlet port 312 is the height of the sidewall upper end portion 318 of the side wall portion of the water tank 309. It is higher than the height.
　すなわち、水槽３０９の側壁部により送風部吸込口３１２が塞がれることがない。送風部吸込口３１２が塞がれる面積は、水槽３０９の側壁部の側壁上端部３１８より上方に伸びた軸受け部３１７のみとなり、風量が増加し加湿能力を向上できる。 That is, the blower inlet port 312 is not blocked by the side wall of the water tank 309. The area where the blower suction port 312 is blocked is only the bearing portion 317 extending upward from the side wall upper end portion 318 of the side wall portion of the water tank 309, and the air volume increases and the humidification ability can be improved.

　以下、本発明の実施の形態５の空気清浄装置について図面を参照しながら説明する。図１９は、本発明の実施の形態５の空気清浄装置の送風部の概略断面図である。なお、本発明の実施の形態４の空気清浄装置と同じ構成要素については同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。 (Embodiment 5)
Hereinafter, an air cleaning device according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 19 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the air blowing part of the air cleaning device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same component as the air purifying apparatus of Embodiment 4 of this invention, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
　本発明の実施の形態５の空気清浄装置と実施の形態４との相違する点は、図１９に示す整流部３１４ａである。 The difference between the air cleaning device of the fifth embodiment of the present invention and the fourth embodiment is a rectifying unit 314a shown in FIG.
　整流部３１４ａは送風部吸込口３１２の周縁部に設けられ、加湿フィルター部３０６側に突出した円環状の突起部３１５ａにより構成されている。突起部３１５ａの高さは、送風部吸込口３１２の上部から下部にかけて徐々に低くなる。具体的には、送風部吸込口３１２の上部から送風部吸込口３１２の下部に向かうにつれて、突起部３１５ａの高さは低くなり、送風部吸込口３１２の下端部では送風部３１１の外壁３１９と同じ高さになる。 The rectifying unit 314a is provided at the peripheral portion of the air blowing unit suction port 312 and includes an annular projecting portion 315a projecting toward the humidifying filter unit 306. The height of the protrusion 315a gradually decreases from the top to the bottom of the blower inlet 312. Specifically, the height of the protrusion 315a decreases from the upper portion of the blower inlet port 312 toward the lower portion of the blower inlet port 312, and the lower end of the blower inlet port 312 is connected to the outer wall 319 of the blower 311. It becomes the same height.
　すなわち、整流部３１４ａを用いることにより、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過し外壁３１９に沿い送風部吸込口３１２に流入する清浄加湿空気のうち、バイパス風路３１３から距離が離れ影響を受けにくい加湿フィルター部３０６の略下部を通過した空気は、送風部吸込口３１２の略下部に流れる。このとき、突起部３１５ａの高さが上部から下部に徐々に低いため、略下部では空気抵抗が低くなり、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過する風量が増加し、加湿能力を向上できる。 That is, by using the rectifying unit 314a, the humidifying filter unit that is less affected by the distance from the bypass air passage 313 among the clean humidified air that passes through the humidifying filter unit 306 and flows into the blower intake port 312 along the outer wall 319. The air that has passed through substantially the lower portion of 306 flows to substantially the lower portion of the blower inlet port 312. At this time, since the height of the protrusion 315a is gradually lowered from the upper part to the lower part, the air resistance is lowered at the substantially lower part, the air volume passing through the humidifying filter part 306 is increased, and the humidifying ability can be improved.
　（実施の形態６）
　以下、本発明の実施の形態６の空気清浄装置について図面を参照しながら説明する。図２０は、本発明の実施の形態６の空気清浄装置の送風部の概略断面図である。なお、本発明の実施の形態４の空気清浄装置と同じ構成要素については同一符号を付し、その説明を省略する。 (Embodiment 6)
Hereinafter, an air cleaning device according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 20 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the air blowing unit of the air cleaning device according to the sixth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the same component as the air purifying apparatus of Embodiment 4 of this invention, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.
　本発明の実施の形態５の空気清浄装置と実施の形態４との相違する点は、図２０に示す整流部３１４ｂである。 The difference between the air cleaning device according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention and the fourth embodiment is a rectifying unit 314b shown in FIG.
　整流部３１４ｂは送風部吸込口３１２の周縁部に設けられ、加湿フィルター部３０６側に上部のみ突出した円環状の突起部３１５ｂにより構成されている。突起部３１５ｂは、送風部吸込口３１２の中心部より上半分のみに設けている。 The rectifying unit 314b is provided at the peripheral portion of the air blowing unit suction port 312, and is configured by an annular projecting portion 315b that protrudes only to the humidifying filter unit 306 side. The protrusions 315b are provided only in the upper half of the central portion of the blower suction port 312.
　すなわち、整流部３１４ｂを用いることにより、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過し外壁３１９に沿い送風部吸込口３１２に流入する清浄加湿空気のうち、バイパス風路３１３から距離が離れ影響を受けにくい加湿フィルター部３０６の略下部を通過した空気は、送風部吸込口３１２の略下部に流れる。このとき、送風部吸込口３１２の中心部より下半分に突起部３１５ｂが無いため、略下部では空気抵抗が低くなり、加湿フィルター部３０６を通過する風量が増加し、加湿能力を向上できる。 That is, by using the rectifying unit 314b, the humidified filter unit that is less affected by the distance from the bypass air passage 313 among the clean humidified air that passes through the humidifying filter unit 306 and flows into the blower intake port 312 along the outer wall 319. The air that has passed through substantially the lower portion of 306 flows to substantially the lower portion of the blower inlet port 312. At this time, since there is no protrusion 315b in the lower half of the central portion of the blower inlet port 312, the air resistance is lowered at the lower portion, the amount of air passing through the humidifying filter portion 306 is increased, and the humidifying ability can be improved.
　以上のように本発明の空気清浄装置は、家庭用や事務所用などに活用が期待される。 As described above, the air purifier of the present invention is expected to be used for home use or office use.
