  In addition, the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1A includes a ventilating outlet 23A for exhausting the air sucked from the circulating ventilating suction inlet 20A by the circulating ventilating fan 2A to the outside. Furthermore, the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1A includes an air passage switching damper 6A that switches the air passage between the air outlet 21A and the air outlet 23A.

  The circulation ventilation fan 2A includes a multi-bladed impeller 25A, a circulation ventilation fan motor 26A that drives the impeller 25A, and a circulation ventilation fan case 27A that forms an air passage. The impeller 25A is driven by the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A to rotate, thereby generating a flow of air blown out in the centrifugal direction from the inner side to the outer peripheral side.

  The circulation ventilation fan case 27A rectifies the air blown out in the centrifugal direction of the impeller 25A in a shape combining a circular part along the outer periphery of the impeller 25A and a part along the tangential direction of the impeller 25A. Thus, a flow of air blown out along the tangential direction of the impeller 25A is generated.

  The circulation ventilation fan 2A is configured such that the direction of the rotation axis of the impeller 25A extends in the vertical direction in a state where the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1A is installed on the ceiling of the bathroom where the installation place is.

  As a result, in the circulation ventilation fan 2A, a blowout air passage 28A that blows in the tangential direction of the impeller 25A the air drawn from below along the rotation axis of the impeller 25A is formed by the circulation ventilation fan case 27A.

The electric louver 24 is an example of a wind direction switching means, and the straightening plate 24a is driven by a driving means such as a motor (not shown) to switch the blowing direction of the air blown out from the blowout port 21A.

  In this example, by setting the straightening vane 24a in the direction shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, the blowout direction of the air can be expanded in the direction along the land repipe 105 shown in FIG. 3 (a). The setting for blowing air in a direction along the land re pipe 105 is referred to as "wide".

  Further, by setting the straightening vane 24a in the direction shown by a broken line in FIG. 1, the blowout direction of air is concentrated in a specific direction along the landslide pipe 105. The setting for blowing air in a specific direction along the land repipe 105 is referred to as a "spot". In addition, you may add the structure by which the blowing direction of air can be switched to the direction orthogonal to the land repipe 105 shown in FIG.3 (b).

  The bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1 </ b> A includes an ion generator 10 on the upstream side of the heater 5. The ion generator 10 is an example of an air cleaning means for releasing a functional factor, and the ion emission surface is exposed to a circulating air passage formed by setting the air passage switching damper 6A to a circulation position or a circulation ventilation position.

The ion generator 10 generates both positive ions and negative ions or negative ions. The principle of the generation of positive ions and negative ions, oxygen or moisture in the air is ionized by receiving energy by ionizing by corona discharge, H ⁺ and (H ₂ O) _{m (m} is an arbitrary natural number), O ₂ ^- (H ₂ O) _n (n is an arbitrary natural number) releases the main ions.

These H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m and _{^{O 2 - (H 2 O)}} n is attached to the surface of airborne bacteria, to produce a H ₂ O ₂ or · OH which is an active species by a chemical reaction. Since H ₂ O ₂ or .OH exhibits extremely strong activity, they can surround and remove floating bacteria in the air. Here, · OH is one of active species, and indicates OH of a radical.

Both the floating bacteria contained in the air and the floating bacteria in the air of the bathroom can be removed to suppress the occurrence of mold and the like. The generation of ions by the ion generator 10 may be only negative ions, and may be another method instead of corona discharge. Furthermore, as a means for removing both the floating bacteria contained in the circulating air and the floating bacteria in the bathroom air, other air treatment means may be used instead of ions. The air cleaning means may be silver ion, an agent for deodorizing and sterilizing, an atomizing means for spraying an agent for promoting a moisturizing effect, or the like, and airborne bacteria, bacteria attached to clothes, etc. Any form of air treatment means that imparts a specific function to air, such as those that inhibit the growth of bacteria, those that remove bacteria, and those that release functional factors with a moisturizing effect It may be

Moreover, in order to suppress the loss of ions due to heat, the output of the heater 5 is set to "intermittent" in the output information 205A.

  Thus, in the clean drying mode, unheated air containing ions and warm air HA spread in the direction along the land repipe 105 from the outlet grille 41A of the front panel 4A as shown in FIG. 6A. As such, they are blown out alternately at predetermined time intervals.

  The ions generated by the ion generator 10 are reduced by heat. Therefore, in the clean drying mode, the driving of the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced at the time of ion generation, the reduction of the ions is suppressed, and the heater 5 is driven in conjunction with the switching of the generation of the ions. Provide warm air to clothing.

  Then, the air containing ions is applied to the land re pipe 105 while drying the clothes applied to the land re pipe 105 by expanding the blowout direction of the air containing the ions and the hot air in the direction along the land re pipe 105. It is possible to obtain the deodorizing effect by suppressing the growth of the bacteria adhering to the clothes by hitting the entire clothes.

  In the spot deodorization mode, the blowout direction of air is set to "spot" in the blowout direction setting information 202A. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "present" in the ion generation information 203A. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2A is set to "large" in the fan rotational speed information 204A, and the output of the heater 5 is set to "absent" in the output information 205A.

  Thereby, in the spot deodorizing mode, the non-heated air A containing ions is concentrated in a specific direction along the land repipe 105 from the outlet grille 41A of the front panel 4A as shown in FIG. 6 (b). Be blown out. Therefore, in the spot deodorizing mode, air containing ions can be concentrated on a small number of clothes hung on the landry pipe 105, and the deodorizing effect by the ions is obtained.

  In the in-plane clean mode, the blowout direction of air is set to “wide” in the blowout direction setting information 202A. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "present" in the ion generation information 203A. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2A is set to switch from "low" to "high" in the fan rotational speed information 204A, and the output of the heater 5 is set to "absent" in the output information 205A.

  In the in-plane clean mode, the air volume is reduced while the air blowing direction is expanded, and the operation is started, whereby the air A blown out from the outlet grille 41A of the front panel 4A is bathroom as shown in FIG. It is possible to generate a short circuit condition that is directly sucked from the suction port grille 40A without being greatly circulated in the space 100.

  As a result, air A containing ions can be sucked by the circulation ventilation fan 2A, and the dust adhering to the impeller 25A and the like can be discharged with ions. Then, the dust is separated by raising the fan rotational speed, and since the air passage switching damper 6A is at the circulation ventilation position, the dust can be exhausted outdoors. In the in-machine clean mode, the electric louver 24 may be controlled so that the direction of the air blown out from the outlet grille 41A of the front panel 4A faces the inlet grille 40A.

  In the face care mode, the blowout direction of air is set to "spot" in the blowout direction setting information 202A. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "intermittent" in the ion generation information 203A. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2A is set to "small" in the fan rotational speed information 204A. Moreover, in order to suppress the loss of ions due to heat, the output of the heater 5 is set to "intermittent" in the output information 205A.

  Thereby, in the face care mode, the non-heated air containing ions and the warm air HA are blown out alternately in a specific direction, in this example, toward the face of the bather every predetermined time. In the face care mode, it is assumed that air containing ions is applied to the face of the bather who has entered the bathtub 103 shown in FIG. For this reason, in the face care mode, the blowout direction of air is set to the bathtub 103 side. In addition, the blowing direction of the air may be set to the bathtub 103 side by the operation at the operation unit 82. An operation unit independent of the operation unit 82 may be provided in the bathroom 100, and the operation unit may select the operation mode or the air blowout direction by the operation unit. It may be set to the bathtub 103 side. Further, the bathroom 100 may be provided with a human sensor for detecting a person, and the blowout direction of air may be set in the direction of the tub 103 at which the human sensor detects a human.

  The ions generated by the ion generator 10 are reduced by heat. Therefore, in the face care mode, the driving of the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced during ion generation to suppress the decrease of the ions, and the heater 5 is driven in conjunction with the switching of the generation of the ions. Apply warm air to the bather's face.

  In this way, it is possible to perform face care by combining the sweating action with warm air, the moisturizing of ions, the fine texture of the skin, and the effect of producing gloss.

  In the body care mode, the blowout direction of air is set to "wide" in the blowout direction setting information 202A. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "intermittent" in the ion generation information 203A. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2A is set to "small" in the fan rotational speed information 204A. Moreover, in order to suppress the loss of ions due to heat, the output of the heater 5 is set to "intermittent" in the output information 205A.

  Thus, in the body care mode, the non-heated air containing ions and the warm air HA are alternately blown out in a specific direction, in this example, toward the entire body of the bather at predetermined time intervals. In the body mode, it is assumed that air containing ions is applied to the entire body of the bather in the washing place 104 shown in FIG. For this reason, in the body care mode, the blowing direction of the air is set to the washing place 104 side. Further, the blowing direction of the air may be set to the washing place 104 side by the operation at the operation unit 82. The blowing direction of the air may be set to the washing place 104 side by the operation of the operation unit provided in the bathroom 100 independently of the operation unit 82. Further, the bathroom 100 may be provided with a human sensor for detecting a person, and the air blowing direction may be set in the direction of the washing place 104 where the human sensor detects a human.

  Even in the body care mode, when the ions are generated, the operation of the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced to suppress the decrease of the ions, and the heater 5 is operated in conjunction with the switching of the generation of the ions. Apply warm air to your entire body.

  In this way, it is possible to perform body care by combining the sweating action with warm air, the moisturizing of ions, the fineness of skin texture, and the effect of producing gloss.

In operation mode selection information 200A ₂ shown in FIG. 5 (b), in accordance with the selected selection operating mode information 201A at the operation unit 82, and the blowing direction setting information 202A of the air, and the ion generating information 203A, the circulation ventilation fan 2A In addition to the fan rotation number information 204A and the output information 205A of the heater 5, the ion generation amount information 206A is set.

  It is known that in the ion generator 10, the amount of ions generated decreases with the passage of operating time. Therefore, the amount of ions generated is reduced for an operation mode having a long operation time, and the amount of ions generated is increased for an operation mode having a short operation time.

  For example, in the clean drying mode, a large number of clothes are dried, and thus the recommended operation time is long. On the other hand, in the spot deodorizing mode, only a small number of clothes need to be supplied with ions. . Therefore, in the ion generation amount information 206A, the ion generation amount is set to "small" in the clean drying mode, and the ion generation amount is set to "large" in the spot deodorizing mode. Further, even in the in-machine clean mode, since the operation time can be short, the ion generation amount is set to "large".

  In the clean drying mode, the electrode wear can be delayed by thinning the time for applying a voltage or decreasing the applied voltage in order to reduce the amount of ions generated. In the clean dry mode, since the operation time is long, even when the amount of generated ions is reduced, the effect of suppressing the growth of bacteria can be sufficiently obtained. Further, by making it possible to select the generation amount of ions suitable for the operation mode, the wear of the electrode of the ion generator 10 can be suppressed, and the ion generator 10 can be used for a long period of time. On the other hand, in the spot deodorizing mode and the in-machine clean mode, by increasing the amount of ions generated, it is possible to sufficiently obtain the effect of suppressing the growth of bacteria and the effect of removing dust by static elimination even in a short operation time. Can.

  The control of the ion generation amount may be performed based on the temperature information of the air sucked from the bathroom 100 detected by the temperature sensor 7. Specifically, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 7 exceeds a predetermined temperature (threshold) in the clean drying mode, the driving of the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced, and the ion generator 10 generates ions. , Send a wind containing ions in the bathroom. In addition, when the temperature becomes lower than a predetermined temperature, the heater 5 is driven, the generation of ions from the ion generator 10 is stopped, and the warm air is sent into the bathroom to suppress the loss of ions due to heat. When the heater 5 is not driven and air containing ions is sent into the bathroom, the opening degree of the air passage switching damper 6A may be controlled to increase the circulating air volume. Similarly in the skin care mode, if the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 7 is equal to or lower than a predetermined temperature (threshold value), warm air is blown out to raise the temperature in the bathroom. If the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 7 exceeds a predetermined temperature, the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced to release ions.

  As another operation mode executed by the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1A, in the heating operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6A is placed in the circulation position shown by the solid line in FIG. 1, and the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A is driven to drive the impeller 25A. And turns on the heater 5.

  In the heating operation mode, since the air passage switching damper 6A is at the circulation position, substantially all of the air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A flows to the outlet 21A. In the heating operation mode, the air flowing to the blowout port 21A is heated by the heater 5, whereby warm air is blown out from the blowout port grille 41A of the front panel 4A.

  Thus, in the heating operation mode, the temperature in the bathroom 100 can be raised to a temperature suitable for bathing, and a comfortable bathing environment can be provided.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6A is set to the circulation ventilation position shown by a broken line in FIG. 1 and the heater 5 is not driven, and the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A is driven to drive the impeller 25A. Rotate. Here, in the drying operation mode and the circulation ventilation operation mode described above, the opening degree of the air passage switching damper 6A is changed so that the ventilation air volume which is the air volume exhausted to the outside is larger in the circulation ventilation operation mode. It is good.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the air passage switching damper 6A is at the circulation ventilation position, a part of the air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A flows to the outlet 21A. In addition, the remaining air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20A flows to the ventilation outlet 23A and is exhausted to the outside.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the heater 5 is not driven, air according to the room temperature is blown out from the outlet grille 41A of the front panel 4A.

  As a result, in the circulation ventilation operation mode, air is circulated in the bathroom 100, and part of the air in the bathroom 100 is exhausted to the outside to perform ventilation. It is possible to promote the drying of wall surfaces, floor surfaces, etc.

  In the ventilation operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6A is brought to the ventilation position shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 1, and the heater 5 is not driven to drive the circulation ventilation fan motor 26A to rotate the impeller 25A.

  In the ventilation operation mode, since the air passage switching damper 6A is at the ventilation position, substantially the whole air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation suction port 20A flows to the ventilation air outlet 23A and is exhausted outdoors. Therefore, in the ventilation operation mode, steam and moisture in the bathroom 100 can be discharged to suppress condensation and the like, thereby suppressing the occurrence of mold.

  The bathroom ventilation drying heater 1A has a 24-hour ventilation operation mode. In the 24-hour ventilation operation mode, the above-described ventilation mode is always executed with an air volume that can ventilate the air in the building in which the bathroom ventilation drying and heating machine 1A is installed in a predetermined time. Therefore, in the 24-hour ventilation operation mode, indoor air can be replaced with fresh air.

  The blowout air passage 28B configured by the circulation ventilation fan case 27B is expanded at a portion where the first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet 22B are provided, and is narrowed at a portion where the ventilation air outlet 23B is provided.

  The first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet 22B are constituted by an air passage forming frame 50B provided on the lower surface of the circulation ventilation fan case 27B. The first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet 22B are separated by a partition member 51B provided inside the air passage forming frame 50B, and the heated air blowing air through which the air blown out from the first air outlet 21B passes A passage and a stirring air blowing air passage through which the air blown out from the second air outlet 22B passes are formed.

Further, the long side of the second air outlet 22B is configured shorter than the long side of the first air outlet 21B. Here, the long sides of the first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet 22B may have the same length.

  The bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1 </ b> B includes the electric louver 24 at the first outlet 21 </ b> B. In the electric louver 24, the flow direction of the air blown out from the first blowout port 21B is switched by driving the rectifying plate 24a by a driving unit such as a motor (not shown).

  In this example, by setting the straightening vane 24a in the direction shown by the solid line in FIG. 7, the blowout direction of the air is expanded in the direction along the land repipe 105 shown in FIG. 3 (a). The setting for blowing air in a direction along the land re pipe 105 is referred to as "wide".

  Further, by setting the straightening vane 24a in the direction shown by a broken line in FIG. 7, the blowout direction of air is concentrated in a specific direction along the landslide pipe 105. The setting for blowing air in a specific direction along the land repipe 105 is referred to as a "spot". In addition, you may add the structure by which the blowing direction of air can be switched to the direction orthogonal to the land repipe 105 shown in FIG.3 (b).

  The air passage switching damper 6B is an example of air passage opening and closing means, and ventilation provided in the side surface of the circulation ventilation fan case 27B and the first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet 22B provided on the lower surface of the circulation ventilation fan case 27B. Between the outlet 23B, a shaft 60B for opening and closing operation by rotation is provided.

  The stirring air passage opening and closing damper 9B is an example of the opening and closing means, and opens and closes the second air outlet 22B by rotational operation. In this example, the shaft of the rotational operation of the stirring air passage open / close damper 9B is disposed coaxially with the shaft 60B of the air passage switching damper 6B. The stirring air passage open / close damper 9B is transmitted with a driving force of a damper motor (not shown), rotates around a shaft 60B as a fulcrum, and performs an opening / closing operation of the second air outlet 22B.

  In the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1B, assuming that the position of the air passage switching damper 6B is a circulation position in which the ventilation outlet 23B is closed as shown by a solid line in FIG. 6, the first outlet 21B and the second outlet 22B are When it is open, a circulation air passage communicating from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B to the first outlet 21B and the second outlet 22B is formed.

  Further, in the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, assuming that the position of the air passage switching damper 6B is a ventilating position in which the first outlet 21B and the second outlet 22B are closed as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. The outlet 23B is opened to form a ventilation air passage communicating from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B to the ventilation outlet 23B.

  Furthermore, in the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1B, assuming that the position of the air passage switching damper 6B is a circulation ventilation position between the circulation position and the ventilation position shown by a broken line in FIG. Both the outlet 22B and the ventilation vent 23B are opened to form both a circulation air passage and a ventilation air passage. The opening degree of the air passage switching damper 6B at the circulation ventilation position is switched, and the air volume blown out from the ventilation air outlet 23B can be changed.

  When the second air outlet 22B is opened by the stirring air passage open / close damper 9B with the air passage switching damper 6B as the circulation position or the circulation ventilation position, air is blown out from the first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet 22B. . When the second air outlet 22B is closed by the stirring air passage open / close damper 9B with the air passage switching damper 6B at the circulation position or the circulation ventilation position, air is blown out from the first air outlet 21B. Further, the air flow rate of the air blown out from the second air outlet 22B is controlled by the opening degree of the stirring air passage open / close damper 9B.

Further, in the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, the air path switching damper 6B and the stirring air path open / close damper 9B are opened and closed interlockedly and independently by one damper motor or an independent damper motor. In the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, air blowing from the second air outlet 22B is used to suppress the stratification of the temperature distribution in the bathroom 100, which is the installation place, to constitute a blower auxiliary means.

  The bathroom ventilating-drying heater 1B is configured such that the volume of air blown out from the first outlet 21B is large, and the speed of air blown out from the second outlet 22B is fast.

  The heated air blowing air passage communicating with the first air outlet 21B and provided with the heater 5 is partitioned by the stirring air blowing air passage communicating with the second air outlet 22B by the partition member 51B.

  The bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1 </ b> B includes an ion generator 10 on the upstream side of the heater 5. In the ion generator 10, the ion emission surface is exposed to the circulation air passage formed by setting the air passage switching damper 6B to the circulation position or the circulation ventilation position.

The principle of the generation of positive ions and negative ions, oxygen or moisture in the air is ionized by receiving energy by ionizing by corona discharge, H ⁺ and (H ₂ O) _{m (m} is an arbitrary natural number), O ₂ ^- (H ₂ O) _n (n is an arbitrary natural number) releases the main ions.

These H ⁺ (H ₂ O) _m and _{^{O 2 - (H 2 O)}} n is attached to the surface of airborne bacteria, to produce a H ₂ O ₂ or · OH which is an active species by a chemical reaction. Since H ₂ O ₂ or .OH exhibits extremely strong activity, they can surround and remove floating bacteria in the air. Here, · OH is one of active species, and indicates OH of a radical.

  Thus, the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B is linked to the operation of the circulation ventilating fan 2B to generate approximately the same number of positive ions and negative ions, and the air containing approximately the same number of positive ions and negative ions is blown to achieve circulation. Both the floating bacteria contained in the air and the floating bacteria in the air of the bathroom can be removed to suppress the occurrence of mold and the like.

<Operation Example of Bathroom Ventilation-Drying / Heating Machine of Second Embodiment>
FIG. 12 is an operation explanatory view showing the flow of air in the bathroom in the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater according to the second embodiment, and next, referring to the respective drawings, the bathroom ventilating dryer according to the second embodiment An operation example of the heater 1B will be described.

  When the drying operation mode is selected, the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1A has a wind direction set based on the blowing direction setting information 202B according to the selection operation mode information 201B in the operation mode selection information 200B shown in FIG. Thus, the louver motor 24M is controlled, and the ion generator 10 is driven based on the ion generation information 203B. Further, the circulation ventilation fan motor 26B is driven to rotate the impeller 25B so that the fan rotation speed is set based on the fan rotation speed information 204B, and the heater 5 is set to output the output speed set based on the output information 205B. Energize the Furthermore, the stirring air passage open / close damper 9B is opened and closed based on the auxiliary air flow information 207B.

  In the normal drying operation mode, by setting the air passage switching damper 6B to the circulation ventilation position shown by a broken line in FIG. 7, in the blow air passage 28B, the first air outlet 21B and the second air outlet from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B. Both a circulation air passage communicating with 22B and a ventilation air passage communicating from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B to the ventilation outlet 23B are formed.

  Thereby, when the impeller 25B rotates, a part of the air RA of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation suction port 20B flows to the first blowout port 21B. Further, the remaining air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B flows to the ventilation outlet 23B, passes through the exhaust duct 102, and is exhausted to the outside as an exhaust EA from the outdoor grill 102a.

  Further, in the normal drying operation mode, since the stirring air passage open / close damper 7B opens the second air outlet 22B, air also flows to the second air outlet 22B. Since the air flowing to the second outlet 22B does not pass through the heater 5, the air A corresponding to the room temperature is blown out from the second outlet grille 42B of the front panel 4B.

  In the normal drying operation mode, the blowout direction of air is set to “wide” in the blowout direction setting information 202A. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "absent" in the ion generation information 203A. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2A is set to "large" in the fan rotational speed information 204A, and the output of the heater 5 is set to "large" in the output information 205A.

  Thereby, in the normal drying operation mode, the air flowing to the blowout port 21A is heated by the heater 5 to spread from the blowout port grille 41A of the front panel 4A in the direction along the land repipe 105. Is blown out.

  In the bathroom ventilating-drying heater 1B, the air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B is on the wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100 on the side where the second outlet grille 42B is provided with respect to the first outlet grille 41B. Be directed.

  The air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B has a wind speed higher than that of the air blown out from the first outlet grill 41B from the relationship between the arrangement and the size of the first outlet 21B and the second outlet 22B. Is fast. In addition, since the air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B does not pass through the heater 5, the temperature is lower than the air blown out from the first outlet grill 41B.

  Thereby, in the drying mode, as shown in FIG. 12, the air A blown out from the second outlet grille 42B is applied to one wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100, and along the wall surface 106a as shown by the arrow A1. Flow downward. The air flowing downward along the wall surface 106 a flows mainly in the vicinity of the lower layer of the bathroom 100 toward the other wall surface 106 b as indicated by the arrow A 2.

  In the bathroom ventilating-drying heater 1B, the air RA sucked in from the suction inlet grille 40B causes a flow to circulate the air in the bathroom 100, so the air flowing near the lower layer of the bathroom 100 toward the other wall surface 106b Flows upward along the wall surface 106b as indicated by the arrow A3, and is sucked from the suction inlet grill 40B.

  In this manner, in the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, the high velocity air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B is directed downward along one wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100, and the lower layer of the bathroom 100 is The air flow can be generated toward the wall surface 106b of the and along the other wall surface 106b.

  In the normal drying operation mode, the air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B of the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B is heated by the heater 5, the temperature is raised, and the relative humidity is lowered. It is lighter than the air blown out from the outlet grille 42B.

  Therefore, the air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B which is heavier than the air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B flows to the lower layer of the bathroom 100 and stirs the air in the entire bathroom 100. It can generate a flow of wind.

  As a result, the warm air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B flows the air even in the vicinity of the object to be dried that is hung on the land repipe 105 at a position away from immediately below the first outlet grill 41B. Can be generated.

  Therefore, in the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, the moisture of the material to be dried is easily evaporated, and if the output of the heater 5 is the same as in the conventional case, the drying time can be shortened, and the energy required for drying the material to be dried Can be reduced.

  If the drying time is the same as in the conventional case, the output of the heater 5 can be reduced, and the energy required for drying the material to be dried can be reduced. In addition, part of the air in the bathroom 100 is exhausted to the outside for ventilation, so that moisture and the like can be discharged to promote drying of the material to be dried.

  Therefore, in the normal drying operation mode, warm air can be applied to the object to be dried such as clothing applied to the landry pipe 105 to dry it, and the air including moisture in the bathroom 100 is exhausted outdoors. Intake ventilation such as washrooms and the like can be performed to promote drying.

  In the clean drying mode, the blowout direction of air is set to "wide" in the blowout direction setting information 202B. Further, generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to “intermittent” in the ion generation information 203B. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2B is set to "high" in the fan rotational speed information 204B. Moreover, in order to suppress the loss of ions due to heat, the output of the heater 5 is set to "intermittent" in the output information 205B. Furthermore, the auxiliary air balloon is set to "Yes".

  Thereby, in the clean drying mode, the non-heated air containing ions and the warm air HA spread from the first outlet grille 41B of the front panel 4B in the direction along the land repipe 105 every predetermined time. Alternately blow out. Further, the air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B can be widely circulated in the bathroom 100 by the auxiliary air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B.

  The ions generated by the ion generator 10 are reduced by heat. Therefore, in the clean drying mode, the driving of the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced at the time of ion generation, the reduction of the ions is suppressed, and the heater 5 is driven in conjunction with the switching of the generation of the ions. Provide warm air to clothing.

  Then, the air containing ions is applied to the land re pipe 105 while drying the clothes applied to the land re pipe 105 by expanding the blowout direction of the air containing the ions and the hot air in the direction along the land re pipe 105. It is possible to obtain the deodorizing effect by suppressing the growth of the bacteria adhering to the clothes by hitting the entire clothes.

  In addition, in the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1B, the air in the bathroom 100 can be stirred by using the auxiliary air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B. Therefore, without providing the electric louver 24, the control of the blowing direction of the air containing the ions blown out from the first outlet grill 41B by the presence or absence of the auxiliary air blown out from the second outlet grille 42B and the air volume etc. And air containing ions can be widely circulated in the bathroom 100.

  In the spot deodorization mode, the blowout direction of air is set to "spot" in the blowout direction setting information 202B. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "present" in the ion generation information 203B. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2B is set to "large" in the fan rotational speed information 204B, and the output of the heater 5 is set to "absent" in the output information 205B. Furthermore, the auxiliary air balloon is set to "absent".

  Thereby, in the spot deodorizing mode, non-heated air A containing ions is blown out in a specific direction along the land repipe 105 from the first outlet grille 41B of the front panel 4B. Therefore, in the spot deodorizing mode, air containing ions can be concentrated on a small number of clothes hung on the landry pipe 105, and the deodorizing effect by the ions is obtained.

  In the in-plane clean mode, the blowout direction of air is set to “wide” in the blowout direction setting information 202B. Further, the generation of ions in the ion generator 10 is set to "present" in the ion generation information 203B. Further, the fan rotational speed of the circulation ventilation fan 2B is set to switch from "low" to "high" in the fan rotational speed information 204B, and the output of the heater 5 is set to "absent" in the output information 205B. Furthermore, the auxiliary air balloon is set to "absent".

  In the in-plane clean mode, the air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B of the front panel 4B does not circulate largely in the bathroom 100 by reducing the air volume and starting the operation while widening the blowout direction of the air. It is possible to generate a short circuit condition that is directly sucked from the suction port grille 40B.

  Thereby, the air A containing ions can be sucked by the circulation ventilation fan 2B, and the dust adhering to the impeller 25B and the like can be removed by the ions. Then, the dust is separated by raising the fan rotational speed, and the air passage switching damper 6B is at the circulation ventilation position, so that the dust can be exhausted outdoors. In the in-machine clean mode, the electric louver 24 may be controlled such that the direction of the air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B of the front panel 4B is directed to the suction inlet grille 40B.

  As another operation mode executed by the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, in the heating operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6B is placed in the circulation position shown by the solid line in FIG. 7 and the circulation ventilation fan motor 26B is driven to drive the impeller 25B. And turns on the heater 5.

  In the heating operation mode, since the air passage switching damper 6B is at the circulation position, substantially the whole air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation suction port 20B flows to the first air outlet 21B. In the heating operation mode, the air flowing to the first air outlet 21B is heated by the heater 5, whereby warm air is blown out from the first air outlet grille 41B of the front panel 4B.

  Thus, in the heating operation mode, the temperature in the bathroom 100 can be raised to a temperature suitable for bathing, and a comfortable bathing environment can be provided. Moreover, in the heating operation mode, closing the second air outlet 22B prevents the air whose temperature is not raised by the heater 5 from being blown out and hitting the bather, thereby preventing the bather from feeling cold. Can.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6B is in the circulation ventilation position shown by the broken line in FIG. 7, the stirring air passage opening / closing damper 9B is in the open position shown by the broken line, and the heater 5 is not driven. As this, the circulation ventilation fan motor 26B is driven to rotate the impeller 25B.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the air passage switching damper 6B is in the circulation ventilation position, a part of the air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B is the first outlet 21B and the second outlet 22B. Flow to In addition, the remaining air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B flows to the ventilation outlet 23B and is exhausted to the outside.

  In the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the heater 5 is not driven, air according to the room temperature is blown out from the first outlet grille 41B of the front panel 4B as the air flowing to the first outlet 21B is not driven.

  Further, in the circulation ventilation operation mode, since the stirring air passage open / close damper 9B opens the second air outlet 22B, air also flows to the second air outlet 22B. Since the air flowing to the second air outlet 22B does not pass through the heater 5, air according to the room temperature is blown out from the second air outlet grille 42B of the front panel 4B.

  In the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1B, even in the circulation ventilation operation mode, the air having a high wind velocity blown out from the second outlet grille 42B moves downward along one wall surface 106a of the bathroom 100 and near the lower layer of the bathroom 100 Toward the other wall surface 106b, and an upward air flow can be generated along the other wall surface 106b.

  Thus, even in the circulation ventilation operation mode, a flow of wind for agitating the air can be generated throughout the bathroom 100, and the air blown out from the first outlet grille 41B directly in the bathroom 100 can be generated. Even in places that are difficult to hit, 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 air in the bathroom 100 is exhausted to the outside and ventilated, moisture and the like can be discharged to promote drying of each wall surface, floor surface, and the like of the bathroom 100.

  In the ventilation operation mode, the air passage switching damper 6B is at the ventilation position shown by the alternate long and short dash line in FIG. 7, the stirring air passage opening / closing damper 9B is at the closed position shown by the solid line, and the heater 5 is not driven to drive the circulation ventilation fan motor 26B. The impeller 25B is rotated.

  In the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1B, air in the bathroom 100 is sucked into the circulation ventilation inlet 20B from the inlet grille 40B of the front panel 4B as the impeller 25B rotates.

  In the ventilation operation mode, since the air passage switching damper 6B is at the ventilation position, substantially the entire air of the bathroom 100 sucked from the circulation ventilation inlet 20B flows to the ventilation outlet 23B and is exhausted to the outside. Therefore, in the ventilation operation mode, steam and moisture in the bathroom 100 can be discharged to suppress condensation and the like, thereby suppressing the occurrence of mold.

  In the bathroom ventilation drying heater 1B, a 24 hour ventilation operation mode is provided. In the 24-hour ventilation operation mode, the above-described ventilation mode is always executed with an amount of air that can ventilate the air in the building in which the bathroom ventilation dryer / heater 1B is installed in a predetermined time. Therefore, in the 24-hour ventilation operation mode, indoor air can be replaced with fresh air.

  In the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B, the ion generation amount may be switched based on the selected operation mode, operation time, temperature information of the bathroom 100, and the like. Specifically, when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 7 exceeds a predetermined temperature (threshold) in the clean drying mode, the driving of the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced, and the ion generator 10 generates ions. , Send a wind containing ions in the bathroom. In addition, when the temperature becomes lower than a predetermined temperature, the heater 5 is driven, the generation of ions from the ion generator 10 is stopped, and the warm air is sent into the bathroom to suppress the loss of ions due to heat. In addition, when the heater 5 is not driven and air containing ions is sent into the bathroom, the air passage switching damper 6B and the stirring air passage open / close so as to increase the amount of air sent from the second outlet grille 42B to the bathroom You may control the opening degree of damper 9B.

<Modification of bathroom ventilation dryer heater>
As described above, the blowing direction of the air containing ions is set in accordance with the operation mode. Therefore, the user may be notified of the blowing direction of the air according to the operation mode, and the user may be able to change the blowing direction of the air according to the judgment of the user. FIG. 13 is an explanatory view showing an example of the blowing direction changing member. The outlet 21A of the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1A described with reference to FIG. 1 or the first outlet 21B of the bathroom ventilating dryer / heater 1B described with reference to FIG. 13 blowing direction changing member 24B ₁ shown in (a), as a spot deodorization mode, used when concentrating the blowing direction of the air in a particular direction. 13 blowing direction changing member 24B ₂ shown in (b), like the machine clean mode, used when directing the blowing direction of the air in a particular direction. The blowout direction changing member may be provided in the blowout grille of the front panel with a configuration in which the wind direction can be switched by a manual operation.

  In the in-machine clean mode, the operation may be started based on the frequency of use of the fan, such as the operation time in each operation mode, not based on the user operation. Further, in the clean dry mode, the spot deodorizing mode, and the in-machine clean mode, the amount of generated ions may be switched according to the state, or the user may be switched.

  Further, although the heater 5 is stopped or the output is reduced at the time of ion emission in each embodiment, the ion may be released without reducing the heater output.

  FIG. 14 is a perspective view showing a modification of the electric louver. The electric louver 24C includes an air passage forming body 24d and a straightening vane 24e. The air passage formation body 24d is provided with, for example, a rectangular first opening 24f and a second opening 24g on two surfaces facing in the lateral direction, and the first opening 24f and the second opening 24g are provided. For example, a rectangular parallelepiped air passage 24h is formed to communicate with each other.

  The straightening vane 24e is mounted in the air passage 24h of the air passage former 24d. The electric louver 24C includes, for example, six straightening vanes 24e in this example, and one straightening vane group 24L including three adjacent straightening vanes 24e has a first opening facing the air path formation body 24d. When the direction 24 f is in the downward direction, the lower end is inclined in the direction toward the outer side, and is fixed to the air passage forming body 24 d. Also, the other straightening vane group 24R provided with another three adjacent straightening vanes 24e has an inclination opposite to that of one straightening vane group 24R, and the first opening 24f is directed downward. The lower end is inclined in the direction toward the outer side and fixed to the air passage forming body 24d.

  The electric louver 24C is provided with shaft portions 24i at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the air passage forming body 24d. The motorized louver 24C is rotatable in a bearing portion (not shown) formed by the shaft portion 24i of the air passage forming member 24d on both sides of the air outlet 21A shown in FIG. 1 or the first air outlet 21B shown in FIG. Supported by

  In the motorized louver 24, a louver motor 24M shown in FIG. 4 or 10 is connected to the shaft portion 24i. The louver motor 24M is configured by, for example, a stepping motor so as to be able to recognize the rotation angle and stop in a predetermined direction.

  In the electric louver 24, the air passage forming member 24d is rotated about the shaft portion 24i by the louver motor 24M, and the direction of the rectifying plate 24e is switched according to the direction of the air passage forming member 24d.

  FIG. 15 is an explanatory view showing an operation example of the electric louver. In the motorized louver 24C, in a state where the first opening 24f is directed downward as shown in FIG. 15A, one straightening vane group 24L is inclined in the direction in which the lower end faces outward. The other straightening vane group 24R is inclined in the opposite direction to the one straightening vane group 24L, and the lower end faces outward.

  As a result, the air blown out from the air outlet 21A or the first air outlet 21B flows in the direction of the inclination of the straightening vane 24e, and the wind direction is spread. Therefore, air is blown out over a wide range.

  Assuming that the air passage forming body 24d is rotated 180 degrees around the shaft 24i by the louver motor 24M from the state shown in FIG. 15 (a) and the second opening 24g is directed downward as shown in FIG. 15 (b). The one flow guide plate group 24L is inclined in the direction in which the lower end faces inward. The other straightening vane group 24R is inclined in the opposite direction to the one straightening vane group 24L, and the lower end faces inward.

  As a result, the air blown out from the air outlet 21A or the first air outlet 21B flows in the direction of the inclination of the straightening vane 24e to narrow the wind direction. Therefore, air is blown out in a narrow range.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 15 (c), the air flow path forming body 24d can be switched by rotating the air path forming body 24d in any direction with the shaft portion 24i as a fulcrum by the louver motor 24M. By pivoting the shaft portion 24i to the left and right, air is blown out by reciprocating in an arbitrary range.

  For example, when the air passage forming body 24d is rotated in any direction around the shaft 24i as a fulcrum with the first opening 24f facing downward, air may be blown out in a specific direction while expanding the blowing direction. By swinging the air passage forming body 24d, air can be blown out by reciprocating an arbitrary range while widening the blowing direction.

  In addition, when the air passage forming body 24d is rotated in any direction with the shaft 24i as a fulcrum with the second opening 24g facing downward, the air is blown out in a specific direction while concentrating the blowing direction. By swinging the air passage formation body 24d, air can be blown out by reciprocating in an arbitrary range while concentrating the blowing direction.

  In this example, it is possible to switch the blowing range by switching the blowing direction of the air by the rotational operation of the air passage forming body 24d without changing the angle of each of the straightening vanes 24e. As a result, a mechanism for operating the respective straightening vanes 24e is unnecessary, and the direction in which the air is blown can be switched with a simple configuration.

  FIG. 16 is an explanatory view showing an arrangement example of the electric louver. In FIG. 16A, the arrangement in which the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 21A is orthogonal to the land repipe 105 shown in FIG. 3 is shown as an example. When the motorized louver 24C is attached to the air outlet 21A in the direction of the air outlet 21A shown in FIG. 16A, the direction of the shaft 24i is orthogonal to the landry pipe 105.

  As a result, when the electric louver 24C is in the direction shown in FIG. 15A, the blowing direction of the air is expanded in the direction orthogonal to the landry pipe 105. Further, when the electric louver 24C is in the direction shown in FIG. 15 (b), the air is blown out concentrated in a specific direction. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 15C, when the motorized louver 24C is rotated in an arbitrary direction with the shaft 24i as a fulcrum, the air blowing direction is switched to an arbitrary direction along the land repipe 105, and the motorized louver 24C. Is pivoted on the shaft 24i, air is blown out by reciprocating an arbitrary range along the land repipe 105.

  For example, when the air passage forming body 24d is rotated in the direction of the circulation ventilation suction port 20A with the shaft 24i as a fulcrum with the second opening 24g facing downward, the circulation ventilation suction port is concentrated while the blowout direction is concentrated. Air can be blown out in the direction of 20 A, and a short circuit can be easily generated. Therefore, the wind direction suitable for the in-flight clean mode can be obtained.

  In addition, with the second opening 24g facing downward, the air passage forming body 24d is rotated around the shaft 24i as a fulcrum of the specific clothing hung on the lanyard pipe 105, while concentrating the blowing direction. The air can be blown toward a specific clothes, and the wind direction suitable for the spot deodorization mode can be obtained. Furthermore, with the second opening 24g facing downward, when the air passage formation body 24d is rotated toward the face of the bather with the shaft 24i as a fulcrum, the blowout direction is concentrated on the face of the bather. It is possible to blow air out, and to make the wind direction suitable for the face care mode.

  In FIG. 16B, the arrangement in which the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 21A is along the land repipe 105 shown in FIG. 3 is shown as an example. When the motorized louver 24C is attached to the air outlet 21A in the direction of the air outlet 21A shown in FIG. 16 (b), the direction of the shaft 24i is the direction along the landry pipe 105.

  As a result, when the electric louver 24C is in the direction shown in FIG. 15A, the blowout direction of air is expanded in the direction along the landslide pipe 105. Further, when the electric louver 24C is in the direction shown in FIG. 15 (b), air is blown out in a specific direction of the landslide pipe. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 15C, when the motorized louver 24C is rotated in an arbitrary direction with the shaft 24i as a fulcrum, the air blowout direction is switched to an arbitrary direction orthogonal to the land repipe 105, and the motorized louver 24C. Is pivoted about the shaft 24i, air is blown out by reciprocating an arbitrary range orthogonal to the land repipe 105.

  For example, when the air passage forming body 24 d is rotated in the direction of the land re pipe 105 around the shaft 24 i with the first opening 24 f facing downward, the air flow path forming body 24 d is aligned with the land re pipe 105. Thus, the blowing direction of the air can be extended, and the wind direction suitable for the clean drying mode can be obtained. Also, with the first opening 24 f facing downward, when the air passage forming body 24 d is rotated toward the washing place 104 with the shaft 24 i as a fulcrum, air blows out toward the bather in the washing place 104. The wind direction can be suitable for the body care mode. Furthermore, with the second opening 24g facing downward, when the air path formation body 24d is rotated in the direction of the tub 103 with the shaft 24i as a fulcrum, The blowing direction of the air can be expanded, and the wind direction suitable for the face care mode can be obtained.

  The present invention is applied to an apparatus provided with an air cleaning means such as an ion generator such as a heater.
