  1 A of bathroom ventilation drying heaters are provided with the ion generator 10 as a function factor generation part. The ion generator 10 produces | generates and discharge | releases ion as a functional factor, and removes a microbe. For this reason, the ions mainly function as an air cleaning factor that cleans the air, and the ion generator 10 functions as an air cleaning factor generator that generates and discharges ions.

The ion generator 10 generates both positive ions and negative ions, or at least one of positive ions and negative ions. The principle of generation of positive ions and negative ions is that corona discharge causes oxygen or moisture in the air to be ionized by ionization, and H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m (m is an arbitrary natural number) and O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n (n is an arbitrary natural number) emits ions mainly.

These H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m and O ₂ ⁻ (H ₂ O) _n adhere to the surface of the fungus and chemically react to generate H ₂ O ₂ or .OH as an active species. Since H ₂ O ₂ or .OH shows very strong activity, they can surround and remove bacteria. Here, .OH is one kind of active species, and represents radical OH.

  Thereby, in the bathroom ventilation / drying / heating machine 1A, the circulation ventilation fan 2A is linked with the operation of the circulation ventilation fan 2A to generate approximately the same number of positive ions and negative ions, and air is circulated by blowing air containing approximately the same number of positive ions and negative ions. It is possible to remove both the floating bacteria contained in the air and the floating bacteria in the air of the bathroom 100 to suppress the occurrence of mold and the like. Further, the bacteria attached to the bathroom 100 can be removed to suppress the occurrence of mold and the like. Furthermore, germs adhering to clothing can be removed, and the generation of odor can be suppressed.

  Note that ions may be generated by the ion generator 10 using only positive ions or only negative ions, and other methods may be used instead of corona discharge. Furthermore, as an air purification factor for removing both the floating bacteria contained in the circulating air and the floating bacteria in the bathroom air, other air purification factors such as ozone may be used instead of ions. In addition, the air purifying factor generation unit may use spraying means for spraying silver ions, chemicals for deodorization and sterilization, chemicals that promote the moisturizing effect, etc., and adhere to airborne bacteria or clothing in the air. Any form of air treatment means that imparts a specific function to the air, such as those that suppress the growth of bacteria, those that remove bacteria, and those that release a functional factor having a moisturizing effect May be.

  The ion generator 10 includes an electrode needle that performs corona discharge and a cover (not shown) that covers the electrode needle, and the ion emission unit 10A is configured. The ion generator 10 is installed at a position where ions can be supplied to both the air blown from the first air outlet 21A and the second air outlet 22A, or to the air blown from the second air outlet 22A. .

  Next, the installation place of the ion generator 10 is demonstrated. In this example, in order to supply ions to the air blown from the first blowout port 21A and the second blowout port 22A, the ion generator 10 exposes the ion discharge portion 10A in the blowout air passage 28A. It is installed on the lower surface of the circulation ventilation fan case 27A. Since ions are supplied only to the air blown out from the second air outlet 22A, the ion generator 10 exposes the ion discharge portion 10A to the second air outlet 22A, and the second air outlet 22A. It is good also as a structure installed in.

<Operation Example of Bathroom Ventilation Dryer / Heater of First Embodiment>
7 to 9 are explanatory views showing the operation of the air path switching damper in the bathroom ventilation dryer of the first embodiment, and FIGS. 10 and 11 are the bathroom ventilation dryer of the first embodiment. Next, an example of the operation of the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  In the dry operation mode, the controller 81A sets the air path switching damper 6A to the circulation ventilation position shown in FIG. 8, drives the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A to rotate the impeller 25A, and energizes the heater 5.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, when the impeller 25A rotates, the air in the bathroom 100 is sucked into the circulation ventilation inlet 20A from the inlet grill 40A of the front panel 4A.

  In the dry operation mode, since the air path switching damper 6A is in the circulation ventilation position, the blowout air path 28A includes a circulation air path communicating from the circulation ventilation suction port 20A to the first air outlet 21A and the second air outlet 22A. Both of the ventilation air paths communicating from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A to the ventilation outlet 23A are formed.

  Thereby, a part of air RA of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation suction port 20A by the rotation of the impeller 25A flows to the first air outlet 21A and the second air outlet 22A. Further, the remaining air in the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A flows to the ventilation outlet 23A, passes through the exhaust duct 102, and is exhausted to the outside as the exhaust EA from the outdoor grill 102a.

  In the drying operation mode, the air flowing through the first air outlet 21A is heated by the heater 5 so that the hot air HA is blown out from the first air outlet grill 41A of the front panel 4A. Since the air flowing through the second air outlet 22A does not pass through the heater 5, the air flows from the second air outlet grill 42A, the first circulation air outlet grill 44A, and the second circulation air outlet grill 45A of the front panel 4A to room temperature. Air A corresponding to the above is blown out.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air blown from the first outlet grille 41A spreads in the longitudinal direction of the land pipe 105 and the direction orthogonal to the land pipe 105.

  However, the bathroom ventilation drying / heating machine 1A is arranged so that the longitudinal direction of the first blower outlet grill 41A is orthogonal to the land pipe 105, so that the air blown from the first blower grill 41A is mainly used. It spreads in a direction orthogonal to the land re-pipe 105.

  For this reason, warm air is applied to the whole of the width direction with respect to an object to be dried such as clothes hung on the land pipe 105 in the vicinity immediately below the first outlet grille 41A. On the other hand, the hot air blown out from the first outlet grille 41A is directly applied to an object to be dried hung on the land pipe 105 at a position away from directly below the first outlet grille 41A. Hard to hit.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air A blown out from the second outlet grille 42A is on the side where the second outlet grille 42A is provided with respect to the first outlet grille 41A by the rectifying plate 43A. It is directed to the wall surface 106 a of the bathroom 100.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 10A, the air A blown out from the second outlet grille 42A in the drying mode is applied to one wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100, and the wall surface 106a as shown by an arrow A1. It flows downward along. The air flowing downward along the wall surface 106a flows in the vicinity of the lower layer of the bathroom 100 mainly toward the other wall surface 106b, as indicated by an arrow A2.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air RA sucked from the suction grill 40A causes a flow of circulating air in the bathroom 100, so the air flowing in the vicinity of the lower layer of the bathroom 100 toward the other wall surface 106b. Flows upward along the wall surface 106b as indicated by an arrow A3, and is sucked from the inlet grill 40A.

  As described above, in the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air blown from the second outlet grille 42A is directed downward along the one wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100, and the vicinity of the lower layer of the bathroom 100 is moved to the other wall surface 106b. , And an upward air flow can be generated along the other wall surface 106b.

  Since the air blown from the first blower outlet grill 41A of the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A in the drying operation mode is warm air heated by the heater 5 and the relative humidity is lowered, the second blower grill Lighter than air blown from 42A.

  For this reason, the air blown out from the second blowout grille 42A, which is heavier than the air blown out from the first blowout grille 41A, flows to the lower layer of the bathroom 100, and the air is agitated throughout the bathroom 100. Wind flow can be generated.

  Thereby, the warm air blown out from the first outlet grille 41A is also near the object to be dried hung on the land re-pipe 105 at a position away from directly below the first outlet grille 41A, which is difficult to hit directly. An air flow can be generated.

  Further, in the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air A blown from the first circulation outlet grill 44A is directed along the ceiling panel 101 to the wall surface 106c on the washing place 104 side, and the second circulation outlet grill 45A. The air A blown out from is directed to the wall surface 106d on the bathtub 103 side along the ceiling panel 101.

  Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 11, the air A blown out from the first circulation outlet grill 44A in the drying mode flows along the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100 as shown by the arrow A4, and is on the washing station 104 side. And flows downward along the wall surface 106c. Further, the air A blown out from the second circulation outlet grill 45A in the dry mode flows along the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100 as shown by an arrow A4 and is applied to the wall surface 106d on the bathtub 103 side. It flows downward along 106d. Therefore, an air flow can also be generated in the vicinity of the ceiling panel 101 where the air blown from the first blower outlet grille 41A and the second blower outlet grille 42A is difficult to hit directly.

  In the dry operation mode, when the ion generator 10 is driven, unheated air containing ions is blown out from the second outlet grille 42A. The air blown out from the second outlet grille 42 </ b> A flows to the lower layer of the bathroom 100, and a flow of air that stirs the air containing ions can be generated in the entire bathroom 100.

  As a result, while drying the clothes hung on the land re-pipe 105, air containing ions is applied to the entire plurality of clothes hung on the land re-pipe 105, thereby suppressing the growth of bacteria attached to the clothes. The deodorizing effect can be obtained.

  In the dry operation mode, when the ion generator 10 is driven, unheated air containing ions is blown out from the first circulation outlet grill 44A and the second circulation outlet grill 45A. Air blown out from the first circulation outlet grill 44 </ b> A and the second circulation outlet grill 45 </ b> A flows along the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100.

  The air Ai containing ions is blown from the first circulation outlet grille 44A at a first air volume corresponding to the distance from the first circulation outlet grille 44A to the wall surface 106c on the washing place 104 side. The air blown out from the circulation outlet grill 44A flows along the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100 and reaches the wall surface 106c.

  In addition, air Ai containing ions is blown out from the second circulation outlet grill 45A with a second air volume corresponding to the distance from the second circulation outlet grill 45A to the wall surface 106d on the bathtub 103 side. The air blown out from the second circulation outlet grill 45A flows along the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100 and reaches the wall surface 106d.

  Thereby, the flow of air containing ions can be generated on the entire ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100, and ions can be supplied to the entire ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100. Therefore, it is possible to suppress fungus causing fungus from adhering to the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100 which is difficult to reach and difficult to clean manually, and the labor of cleaning can be reduced. Moreover, by suppressing the adhesion of the mold to the ceiling panel 101, it is possible to suppress the mold from dropping from the ceiling panel 101, and it is possible to reduce the trouble of cleaning accompanying the removal of the mold generated on the floor surface.

  In addition, in the structure which blows off the air containing an ion from only one side part of the front panel 4A, the flow of the air containing an ion could not be produced in the ceiling panel 101 whole of the bathroom 100.

  Moreover, in the structure which blows off the air containing ion from the 2 side parts which the front panel 4A opposes, the whole ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100 is made by changing an airflow according to distance from a circulation blower outlet grille to a wall surface. It was possible to generate an air flow containing ions. The ratio of the air volume blown from the first circulation outlet grille 44A and the air volume blown from the second circulation outlet grille 45A is preferably about 2: 1.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, the control unit 81A sets the air path switching damper 6A to the circulation ventilation position shown in FIG. 7, drives the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A with the heater 5 not driven, and rotates the impeller 25A. Here, in the drying operation mode and the circulation ventilation operation mode described above, the opening degree of the air path switching damper 6A is set to the ventilation blower so that the ventilation ventilation operation mode increases the ventilation air volume, which is the air volume exhausted to the outdoors. You may change to the position where the opening degree of exit 23A becomes wide.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air in the bathroom 100 is sucked into the circulation ventilation inlet 20A from the inlet grill 40A of the front panel 4A by rotating the impeller 25A.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the air path switching damper 6A is in the circulation ventilation position, a part of the air in the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation suction port 20A is part of the first air outlet 21A and the second air outlet 22A. It flows to. Moreover, the remainder of the air of the bathroom 100 sucked in from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A flows to the ventilation outlet 23A and is exhausted outdoors.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the heater 5 is not driven, the air flowing through the first air outlet 21A is blown out from the first air outlet grill 41A of the front panel 4A according to the room temperature. Since the air flowing through the second air outlet 22A does not pass through the heater 5, air A corresponding to the room temperature is blown out from the second air outlet grill 42A of the front panel 4A.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, as shown in FIG. 9B, even in the circulation ventilation operation mode, the air blown out from the second outlet grille 42A is moved downward along one wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100. It is possible to generate an air flow that faces the lower surface of the bathroom 100 toward the other wall surface 106b and moves upward along the other wall surface 106b.

  Thereby, even in the circulation ventilation operation mode, it is possible to generate a flow of air that stirs the air in the entire bathroom 100, and the air blown from the first outlet grille 41 </ b> A directly in the bathroom 100. Even in places where it is difficult to hit, an air flow can be generated.

  Therefore, the drying time of each wall surface, floor surface, etc. of the bathroom 100 can be shortened. In addition, since a part of the air in the bathroom 100 is exhausted to the outside and ventilation is performed, moisture and the like can be discharged to promote drying of each wall surface and floor surface of the bathroom 100.

  Even in the circulation ventilation operation mode, when the ion generator 10 is driven, unheated air containing ions is blown out from the second outlet grille 42A. The air blown out from the second outlet grille 42 </ b> A flows to the lower layer of the bathroom 100, and a flow of air that stirs the air containing ions can be generated in the entire bathroom 100.

  Further, even in the circulation ventilation operation mode, when the ion generator 10 is driven, unheated air containing ions is blown out from the first circulation outlet grille 44A with the first air volume, and the second circulation with the second air volume. It blows off from the blower outlet grill 45A. Air blown out from the first circulation outlet grill 44 </ b> A and the second circulation outlet grill 45 </ b> A flows along the ceiling panel 101 of the bathroom 100.

  Thereby, the proliferation of a microbe can be suppressed and the generation | occurrence | production of mold | fungi can be suppressed by making the air containing ion hit the ceiling, the wall surface, and the whole floor surface of the bathroom 100. FIG.

  As another operation mode executed in the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, in the heating operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6A is set to the circulation position shown in FIG. 6 to energize the heater 5, and the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A is turned on.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air in the bathroom 100 is sucked into the circulation ventilation inlet 20A from the inlet grill 40A of the front panel 4A by rotating the impeller 25A.

  In the heating operation mode, since the air path switching damper 6A is in the circulation position, substantially the entire amount of the air in the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A flows to the first outlet 21A. In the heating operation mode, the air flowing through the first air outlet 21A is heated by the heater 5, so that warm air is blown out from the first air outlet grill 41A of the front panel 4A.

  In the heating operation mode, since the air path switching damper 6A is in the circulation position, the air in the bathroom 100 is not ventilated. Thereby, in the heating operation mode, the temperature in the bathroom 100 can be raised to a temperature suitable for bathing by circulating the air in the bathroom 100 while blowing hot air from the first outlet grille 41A. it can.

  Further, when the air path switching damper 6A is in the circulation position, the second air outlet 22A is blocked in addition to the ventilation air outlet 23A, so that air that does not pass through the heater 5 is not blown out. Thereby, even if it is the heating operation mode performed during bathing, the air which is not warmed by the heater 5 is not blown out, and the bather does not feel cold.

  Furthermore, when the air path switching damper 6A is in the circulation position, the second air outlet 22A is blocked by the backflow prevention portion 63A with respect to the ventilation air outlet 23A, so that the outside air is prevented from flowing back into the bathroom 100. Can do.

  In the ventilation operation mode, the air path switching damper 6A is set to the ventilation position shown in FIG. 8, the heater 5 is not driven, the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A is driven, and the impeller 25A is rotated.

  In the bathroom ventilation dryer 1A, the air in the bathroom 100 is sucked into the circulation ventilation inlet 20A from the inlet grill 40A of the front panel 4A by rotating the impeller 25A.

  In the ventilation operation mode, since the air path switching damper 6A is in the ventilation position, the first air outlet 21A and the second air outlet 22A are blocked, and the abbreviation of the air in the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation air inlet 20A. The entire amount flows to the ventilation outlet 23A and is exhausted outdoors. Therefore, in the ventilation operation mode, steam and moisture in the bathroom 100 can be discharged to suppress dew condensation and the like, thereby suppressing the occurrence of mold.
