本発明は、暖房装置等において室内空気の乾燥
を防止すべく使用される加湿装置に関するもので
ある。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a humidifier used in a heating device or the like to prevent indoor air from drying out.

のが多用されている。(Prior art) Traditionally, in heating devices, etc., the lower end of a humidifying cloth that causes capillary action is immersed in water in an aquarium, and the water sucked up by the humidifying cloth is brought into contact with airflow to achieve natural evaporation. Many are equipped with a built-in humidifier to prevent the indoor air from drying out.

や硬度成分が加湿エレメント内に堆積し、水を吸
い上げるスピードを減少させ、あわせて加湿面積
（放湿面積）も減少し、その結果、加湿能力が低
下するという問題がある。(Problem to be solved by the invention) However, in such a natural evaporation type humidifier, when humidifying with a humidifying element for a long time, impurities and hardness components contained in the water increase as the amount of humidification increases. There is a problem in that it accumulates inside the humidifying element, reduces the speed at which water is absorbed, and also reduces the humidifying area (humidifying area), resulting in a decrease in humidifying ability.
従来例の中には、そのような問題を改善するた

加湿装置も知られている（たとえば実願昭60−
197743号の明細書及び図面）。 Some conventional methods use a humidifying element with a U-shaped vertical cross section as a means to improve this problem, and one end of the element is immersed in water in an aquarium so that one end is absorbed by capillary action. There are also known humidifiers that suck up water from one side and allow the water to naturally flow down by gravity to the other end that hangs down toward the air flow path (for example,
197743).

部分の下方側部分に集中し、加湿エレメント上で
吸水量の疎密が生じて加湿エレメントの利用効率
が低下する。 However, since the humidifying device of this earlier application uses a simple flat humidifying element, the water sucked up from one end (suction end side) is absorbed by gravity in the horizontal part until it moves to the downstream end side. The water is concentrated in the lower part of the horizontal portion, and the amount of water absorbed becomes uneven on the humidifying element, reducing the usage efficiency of the humidifying element.

As illustrated in FIG.
It is made of a material that causes capillary action as
In addition, there is a suction part 12 whose vertical cross-sectional shape is U-shaped and whose one end is immersed in water in the water tank 6 to suck up water from the water tank 6, and a water W which causes the water sucked up from the suction part 12 to flow down. and a water introduction part 14 extending between the wicking part 12 and the humidifying part 13, and the length l 1 of the wicking part 12 is the length of the humidifying part 13. l 3
In addition, the wicking part 12, water introduction part 14 and humidifying part 1 of the humidifying element 7
3, slits 16 are formed in each portion of the pump to divide the flow path of the suction water perpendicular to the air flow direction.
（作用）
本発明では、先ず第１に、加湿部１３は水Ｗと
空気流Ｆとを接触せしめうる空気流通路１１内に
位置せしめ、吸上部１２の長さl1を加湿部１３の
長さl3より短くしているため次の如き作用を行な
うものである。(Function) In the present invention, firstly, the humidifying part 13 is located in the air flow passage 11 where the water W and the air flow F can come into contact, and the length l 1 of the wicking part 12 is set to the length l 1 of the humidifying part 13. Since the length is shorter than l3 , it has the following effect.
即ち、吸上部１２の長さは加湿部１３の長さに
較べて短いので、吸い上げ力はさほど大きくなく
て良く、吸上部１２で水が少々蒸発して水中の硬
度成分が少々析出しても、吸い上げ力の低下は問
題にならない。 That is, since the length of the wicking part 12 is shorter than the length of the humidifying part 13, the suction force does not need to be very large, and even if a little water evaporates in the wicking part 12 and some hardness components in the water precipitate, , a decrease in suction power is not a problem.
一方、加湿部１３では、水Ｗと空気流Ｆとの接
触により水が蒸発して硬度成分は析出するが、重
力により水が自然流下する部分なので、流水量は
十分確保され、加湿能力は低下しないものであ
る。 On the other hand, in the humidifying section 13, water evaporates due to contact between the water W and the air flow F, and hardness components precipitate. However, since this is a section where water naturally flows down due to gravity, a sufficient amount of water is ensured, and the humidifying capacity is reduced. It's something you don't do.

て偏流することが防止される。 Next, in the present invention, the slits 16 are formed in each part of the wicking part 12, the water introduction part 14, and the humidifying part 13 of the humidifying element 7 to divide the flow path of the wicking water at right angles to the air circulation direction. The sucked up water is divided into both sides of the slit 16, and is prevented from being concentrated in one direction.

That is, in the casing 1 of the air conditioner B, which is installed suspended from the ceiling 19, the air is sucked in from the air suction port 4 by the fan 3, which is installed downstream of the heat exchanger 2, which acts as a condenser during heating, in the air flow direction. This acts to humidify the air flow F heated by the heat exchanger 2. Reference numeral 5 is an air outlet.

It is shielded from the air flow path 11 by a suitable shielding plate 15, etc., and is installed in an upper space inside the air conditioner outside the air flow path.

するものである。 The humidifying element 7 is capable of causing a capillary phenomenon in a porous synthetic resin manufactured by bonding together a large number of hydrophilic synthetic resin particles under pressure, and has a U-shaped vertical cross section. A plate-shaped member having a vertical wicking part 12 whose lower end is immersed in water in the water tank 6 to suck up water from the water tank 6, and most of the length in the vertical direction within the air flow passage 11,
a humidifying section 13 that functions to cause the water W of the water tank 6 sucked up from the suction section 12 to flow down, and to bring the flowing water W into contact with the air flow F to evaporate and humidify the air flow F; and humidifying section 13
It is formed by a horizontal water introduction part 14 spanning between.

Vertical length l of 3 is shorter than 3 , and suction part 1
2, the width W 2 of the water introduction section 14 in the vertical direction, and the width W 3 of the humidifying section 13 in the air circulation direction are sequentially reduced.
すなわち、W1＞W2＞W3とする。 That is, it is assumed that W 1 >W 2 >W 3 .
なお、吸上部１２と水導入部１４とは、前記遮
蔽板１５により空気流通路１１外に配設されるも
のである。 In addition, the suction part 12 and the water introduction part 14 are arranged outside the air flow path 11 by the shielding plate 15.

直角に、吸上水の流路の流路を分割するスリツト
１６を連続して貫通する如く形成している。 Each humidifying element 7 is
The slit 16 that divides the flow path of the wicking water is continuously penetrated at right angles to the air flow direction of the humidifying element 7 across the wicking part 12, the water introduction part 14, and the humidifying part 13. It is formed like this.

のように水流量の少ない部分での析出成分の洗浄
効果が小さくなつて加湿エレメント７全体の有効
寿命を短縮させる原因ともなる。 That is, in this type of humidifying element 7, when water passes through the water introduction section 14, the water tends to pass toward the lower half of the water introduction section 14 due to the action of gravity. The water distribution in the humidifying section 13 becomes uneven (the water flow rate decreases in the upstream side of the air flow in the humidifying section 13), resulting in a decrease in humidifying ability, and the water flow rate decreases in such a portion where the water flow rate is low. The cleaning effect of the precipitated components is reduced, which causes the effective life of the entire humidifying element 7 to be shortened.

メント７の寿命が長くなる。 However, according to this embodiment to which the present invention is applied, the water sucked up from the wicking part 12 is divided into two parts by the slit 16, and by being divided into two parts, the water sucked up from the wicking part 12 is further divided into two parts.
3, the amount of humidification increases, and the cleaning effect of the humidifying element 7 by the flowing water is carried out over the entire surface of the humidifying section 13, thereby extending the life of the humidifying element 7.

湿能力の低下が防止できる。 In the air conditioner of the first embodiment, the air sucked in by the fan 3 from the air suction port 4 is transferred to the heat exchanger 2.
The heat exchanger 2 is further heated by contacting with the humidifying section 13 of the humidifying element 7 of the humidifying device A disposed on the downstream side of the heat exchanger 2 to be humidified. At this time, since the wicking part 12 of the humidifying element 7 is outside the air flow path 11, no humidification is performed (that is, water does not evaporate), so the hardness components of the water do not precipitate, and the vertical length of the wicking part 12 Since the length l 1 is formed shorter than the vertical length l 3 of the humidifying section 13, there is little resistance to water uptake.
Moreover, since the width W 1 of the wicking section 12 in the air circulation direction is made larger than the width W 3 of the humidifying section 13 in the air circulation direction, the water passing area of the wicking section 12 is larger than the width W 3 of the humidifying section 13 in the air circulation direction.
Even if hard components were to be deposited, the amount of accumulation per unit water passage area would be smaller and clogging would be less likely to occur, and both of these would prevent the humidification ability from deteriorating.

増大を図ることができることは言うまでもない。 In addition, in this first embodiment, the suction part 12
Although the case where the vertical lengths l 1 , l 3 and the widths W 1 , W 3 in the air flow direction are changed at the same time is explained, the humidification capacity can be increased even when only one of them is changed. It goes without saying that it can be done.

る。 FIG. 4 shows a humidifying element 17 used in a humidifying device according to a second embodiment of the present invention.

１外においた代わりとするものである。 This humidifying element 17 has an upper half (fourth
The shaded areas in the figure (i.e., the upper parts of the wicking part 12, the water introduction part 14, and the humidifying part 13) are covered with a water-impermeable membrane to form the water-impermeable membrane-coated part C, which is the same as that of the first embodiment. The upper half of the humidifying element 7 is shielded by the shielding plate 15 and the air flow path 1 is closed.
This is an alternative to placing it outside 1.
かくの如くすれば、この膜被覆部Ｃでは流通す

である。 In this way, the flowing water W does not come into contact with the air flow F in this membrane-covered part C, and therefore no water evaporates in this part, so that the hardness components in the water do not precipitate. Therefore, the water suction power does not decrease and the initial humidification amount can be maintained.

を構成するものである。 This humidifying device A is different from the humidifying element 17 of the second embodiment in that the shaded portion is covered with a water-impermeable membrane.
In between, the hatched parts in FIG.
A humidifying device is constructed by inserting a spacer 18 made of a plate or a porous plate having a shape corresponding to the upper half of the humidifying element 7 and a thickness corresponding to the spacing between the humidifying elements 7.
かくの如くすれば、スペーサ１８を板で形成し

湿エレメント７の寿命が長くなるものである。 In this way, when the spacer 18 is formed of a plate, the water sucked up by the wicking part 12 does not evaporate, as in the case of the second embodiment, so that hard components in the water do not precipitate and the wicking Power does not decrease.
Furthermore, when the spacer 18 is formed of a porous plate, in addition to the above-mentioned evaporation prevention effect, the water passage area of the wicking part 12 becomes larger, so that the amount of water sucked up increases and the humidifying ability increases. , the cleaning effect of the surface of the humidifying element 7 by the flowing water is increased, and the life of the humidifying element 7 is extended.
（発明の効果）
本発明の加湿装置は叙上の如く構成するもので
あるので、下記の如き顕著な効果を奏するもので
ある。(Effects of the Invention) Since the humidifying device of the present invention is constructed as described above, it has the following remarkable effects.
即ち、加湿エレメントにおける吸上部１２の長

吸上部１２での水吸い上げ力はさほど大きくなく
ても良く、吸上部１２で水が少々蒸発して水中の
硬度成分が少々析出しても、吸い上げ力の低下は
問題にならない。 That is, since the length l 1 of the wicking part 12 in the humidifying element is made shorter than the length l 3 of the humidifying part 13,
The water suction power in the suction part 12 does not need to be very large, and even if some water evaporates in the suction part 12 and some hardness components in the water precipitate, a decrease in the suction power does not pose a problem.
一方、加湿部１３では、水Ｗと空気流Ｆとの接
触により水が蒸発して、硬度成分は析出するが、
加湿部１３は吸い上げ力を必要としない重力流下
式なので、水量は十分確保され、加湿能力は低下
しないものである。 On the other hand, in the humidifying section 13, water evaporates due to contact between water W and air flow F, and hardness components precipitate.
Since the humidifying section 13 is of a gravity flow type that does not require suction power, a sufficient amount of water is ensured and the humidifying ability is not reduced.
さらに、本発明では上記各効果に加えて、スリ
