  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the main body case 1 has a substantially box shape, and has a substantially rectangular air inlet 2 on the back surface of the main body case 1, and a substantially rectangular air outlet on the upper surface of the main body case 1. 3 is provided. Inside the main body case 1, an air blowing means 4, a water retaining means 5, a water supply tank 6 as a water supply unit, and a sterilization means 7 are provided.

  The air blowing means 4 is formed of an electric motor (not shown), a blade (not shown) provided in the main body case 1, and a blower case 8 surrounding them.

  The water retaining means 5 is formed of a water tank 9, a mounting frame 10 that is rotatably mounted on the water tank 9, and a humidifying filter 11 that is a water retaining part mounted on the periphery of the mounting frame 10.

  The water tank 9 has a box shape with an open upper surface, and is disposed in the lower part of the main body case 1 so that a constant amount of water is always supplied from a water supply tank 6 described later. A sensor (not shown) that reacts with a magnet is provided inside the water tank 9 so that it can be seen whether the water is full or drought, and is structured so that it can be pulled out and attached to the main body case 1 for easy maintenance.

  The mounting frame 10 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and a plurality of disks (not shown) are formed in the length direction at a predetermined interval. Further, a gear (not shown) for driving the humidifying filter 11 by a rotating means 12 provided in the main body case 1 is provided at one end portion.

  The humidifying filter 11 has a three-layer structure in which a second layer 14 is sandwiched between two first layers 13, and the second layer 14 is connected to the first layer 13 with a plurality of connecting yarns in the vertical direction. It is formed by. A connecting fiber communication hole 15 formed of a plurality of polygons surrounded by these connecting yarns is provided. The humidifying filter 11 formed in this way can absorb and hold water in a plurality of connecting yarns surrounded by a plurality of water, and can efficiently make contact between air and water.

  The water supply tank 6 is provided on the front side inside the main body case 1, and has a structure that can be detached by a detachable main body front case 16. The water supply tank 6 is composed of a polyethylene resin and a screw-type lid (not shown) that closes a predetermined opening so that water can be supplied to and discharged from the tank and can be easily maintained. The screw-type lid is formed with a spring-type water supply mechanism so that water can be supplied to the water tank 9.

  The sterilization means 7 includes an electrode plate 17 provided so as to be always immersed in water, and a voltage application unit 18 that applies a voltage to the electrode plate. Water is electrolyzed by the electrode plate 17 to which a voltage is applied, and hypochlorous acid is generated. The generated hypochlorous acid has a high sterilization performance, and it is possible to obtain a sterilization effect by absorbing the water into the humidifying filter 11 and bringing it into contact with air.

  The air sucked from the air inlet 2 of the main body case 1 is blown to the humidifying filter 11 which is the water retaining means 5 by the air blowing means 4. Here, since the hypochlorous acid generated by the sterilizing means 7 is absorbed by the humidifying filter 11, it is sterilized by being brought into contact with air by the humidifying filter 11, and is humidified. This sterilized and humidified air is blown out through the air outlet 3.

  The feature of this embodiment is that the rotating means 12 that rotates the humidifying filter 11 that is a substantially cylindrical suction-type water retaining part partially immersed in the water of the water tank 9 and the water retaining part are predetermined from the inner surface of the water retaining part. Up to this distance, the water tank 9 is not immersed in water.

  That is, since it was set as the structure which is not immersed in the water of a water tank to the predetermined distance from the inner surface of a water holding part, the reduction | decrease of the area of the water holding part through which the part which is not immersed in the water of the water tank 9, ie, the air which blows, passes can be suppressed. At the same time, the water retaining part is a suction type, so that water is also sucked up even in parts that are not soaked in water, and the water absorbed by rotating the water retaining part is lifted upward, and the sterilized electrolyzed water is retained in the water retaining part. Water can be retained throughout. As a result, the sterilization efficiency can be further increased by sufficiently bringing the water retaining portion into contact with air.

  Further, a plurality of humidifying filters 11 may be stacked. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the humidifying filter 11 is mounted on the mounting frame 10 in a three-layered manner, and from the outside of the humidifying filter 11 attached in a three-layered manner to the second sheet. The inner humidification filter 11 that is immersed in the sterilized electrolyzed water and that is the third sheet from the outside may have a structure that does not immerse in the sterilized electrolyzed water.

  Here, if the third sheet from the outside is immersed in the sterilized electrolyzed water, the area of the ventilation path of the humidifying filter 11 is reduced, resulting in a large pressure loss and a small air volume. That is, from the outside of the humidifying filter 11 mounted in a three-layer manner, the second sheet is immersed in the sterilized electrolyzed water, and the third sheet from the outside is immersed in water, so that it is immersed in the water of the aquarium. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the area of the water retaining portion through which there is no portion, that is, the air to be blown.

  The humidifying filter 11 has a three-layer structure in which a second layer 14 is sandwiched between two first layers 13, and the second layer 14 has a plurality of vertical directions with respect to the first layer 13. It is characterized by being formed by a humidifying filter 11 that is formed by connecting yarns and provided with communication holes 15 that are a plurality of ventilation paths surrounded by these connecting yarns. When the humidifying filter 11 is rotated, the sterilized electrolyzed water pumped up from the water tank 9 to the upper side of the humidifying filter 11 is added to the plurality of connecting yarns constituting the communication hole 15 configured as described above. It is soaked by capillary action throughout. Therefore, when the retained sterilized electrolyzed water passes through the humidifying filter 11, the contact efficiency with air is increased, and sterilization can be performed.

  In addition, the sterilized electrolyzed water that is soaked when the humidification filter 11 rotates when the water is immersed in the second sheet from the outside during operation is lifted to the upper part of the ventilation path in a state of being sufficiently infiltrated into the humidification filter 11, and from the outside 3 The humidifying filter 11 of the first sheet soaks the sterilized electrolyzed water into the humidified filter 11 that is not immersed in the sterilized electrolyzed water. It is possible to exhibit it efficiently.

  Moreover, by forming a plurality of the humidifying filters 11 in a stacked manner, the contact efficiency is increased and the sterilization effect is enhanced. That is, when the humidifying filter 11 is single, the pressure loss at the openings of the plurality of communication holes 15 surrounded by the connecting yarn is small, and air easily passes therethrough. By overlapping a plurality of these, the opening area of the communication hole 15 of the humidifying filter 11 of one layer becomes narrower as the layer goes inward. As a result, the air passing through the plurality of humidified filters 11 is subjected to resistance due to the difference in size of the opening, and the contact with the sterilized electrolyzed water is increased, so that the contact efficiency is increased and the sterilization is performed. Increases effectiveness.

  Further, a plurality of wind direction changing means are provided at predetermined positions on the inside of the cylindrical mounting frame 10 of the humidifying filter 11, and among these wind direction changing means, the wind direction changing means located at the lowermost part is the air blowing means 4. Inclined downward from the windward side toward the leeward side in the blowing direction. Specifically, the wind direction plate 19 provided inside the mounting frame 10 of the humidifying filter 11 has a circumferential length divided into four equal parts on the circumference of a predetermined radius when viewed from the side of the mounting frame 10. In a stationary state, the plate-shaped wind direction plates 19 are provided one by one on the top, bottom, left, and right, and a total of four are arranged. In the wind direction plate 19 provided inside the mounting frame 10 of the humidifying filter 11 configured as described above, the wind direction plate 19 located at the lowermost portion is inclined downward from the windward side toward the leeward side in the blowing direction. Thus, air flows downward while receiving resistance on the wind direction plate 19. Therefore, the contact time between the electrolyzed sterilized water and the air increases, and a high sterilizing effect can be obtained.

  According to the present invention, a main body case having an air inlet and an air outlet, an air blowing means for blowing air from the air inlet to the air outlet in the main body case, and a water retaining means are provided in the air passage of the air blowing means, The water retention means includes a water tank, a water supply part that constantly supplies water to the water tank to a predetermined water level, a substantially cylindrical suction type water retention part partially immersed in the water of the water tank, and a mounting frame that fixes the water retention part. A rotating means for rotating the mounting frame, the water tank is provided with a sterilizing means, the sterilizing means is provided so as to be always immersed in the water of the water tank, and the electrode plate The sterilization efficiency is further increased by forming the voltage application unit for applying a voltage, and the water retention unit is not immersed in the water of the water tank until a predetermined distance from the inner surface of the water retention unit. Is something that can be done.

  That is, since it is configured not to be immersed in the water of the water tank up to a predetermined distance from the inner surface of the water retention part, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the area of the water retention part through which the part of the water tank that is not immersed in water, that is, the blown air passes, Since the water retaining part is a suction type, water is also sucked up even in parts that are not immersed in water, and the water absorbed by rotating the water retaining part is lifted upward, and the sterilized electrolyzed water is retained in the entire water retaining part. Can be made. As a result, the sterilization efficiency can be further increased by sufficiently bringing the water retaining portion into contact with air.
