Description

Gasification humidifier

Technical Field

The present invention relates to a gasification humidifier using hot air.

Background

The humidifier is divided into ultrasonic type, heating type, gasification type and composite type.

The vaporizing humidifier is provided with an evaporation part which can rotate the rotating disc or easily evaporate water, and humidifies the indoor space by using the evaporated water vapor.

However, unlike ultrasonic and heating humidifiers, the vaporization type is greatly affected by the humidity of the indoor space. It is characterized in that the humidifying effect is not good under the condition that the humidity of the indoor space is high, and the humidifying effect is obvious under the condition that the indoor space is dry. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that humidification cannot be performed when maintaining high humidity during season change.

In addition, the ultrasonic humidifier and the vaporizing humidifier have a problem that the temperature of the discharged air is very low. Therefore, there is a problem that the sensible temperature in the indoor space is low when the indoor heating is poor.

According to an embodiment, air outside the humidifier flows into the interior of the humidifier by the rotation of the first blower 150. According to various embodiments, the pressure inside the humidifier is lower than the pressure outside the humidifier by the rotation of the first blower, so that the external air a may flow into the inside of the humidifier through the air inflow portion 110.

According to an embodiment, in order to increase the amount of air flowing into the humidifier, a second blower may be provided near the air inflow portion 110. According to various embodiments, a second blower may be disposed between the air inflow portion 110 and the heat generating portion 120, and the second blower may be operated to increase a pressure difference between the inside and the outside of the humidifier, thereby increasing the amount of air flowing in through the air inflow portion 110.

According to an embodiment, the air flowing in through the air inflow portion 110 may contact the heat generating portion 120. According to various embodiments, the heat-generating portion 120 may include at least one of a positive temperature coefficient heater, a mica heater, a sheath heater, a quartz tube heater, a heat-generating wire heater.

According to an embodiment, the heat generating portion 120 can increase the temperature of the air flowing into the heat generating portion 120 in consideration of the moving path from the heat generating portion 120 to the filter 140. For example, the heat generating portion 120 may increase the temperature of the air flowing into the heat generating portion by taking into account the amount of temperature decrease of the air passing through the heat generating portion 120 until the air reaches the filter 140.

According to one embodiment, a water tank 130 may be provided on the other side of the humidifier. According to various embodiments, the amount of water supplied to the water tank 130 may be adjusted by a valve provided at a lower end surface of the water tank 130 such that the amount of water supplied to the filter 140 of the humidifier is adjusted. For example, in an environment with insufficient humidity, more water may be supplied to the filter 140 of the humidifier by opening the valve, and in an environment with sufficient humidity, the amount of water supplied to the filter 140 of the humidifier may be reduced by closing the valve.

According to an embodiment, one surface of the filter 140 may be disposed at a position having the same height as the lowermost end surface of the water tank 130 or at a position having a lower height than the lowermost end surface of the water tank 130 inside the humidifier.

On the other hand, the filter 140 or the absorption unit may be detachable from the humidifier for easy cleaning.

According to an embodiment, the air B whose temperature is raised by the heat generating part 120 may flow into the filter 140 that absorbs water. According to various embodiments, the temperature of the air flowing into the filter 140 may reach a high temperature to evaporate the water absorbed by the filter 140. That is, a part or all of the water absorbed by the filter 140 may be evaporated by the air B having an increased temperature.

According to an embodiment, the gas C vaporized in the filter 140 may flow toward the air discharge port 160 by a pressure difference generated by the rotation of the first blower 150. According to various embodiments, the air discharge port 160 may discharge the gas D generated by contacting the hot wind generated from the heat generating part 120 with the filter 140 absorbing water to the outside of the humidifier.

According to an embodiment, the first blower 150 rotates at a lower end surface of the air discharge port 160, and the gas vaporized by the filter 140 may be discharged through the air discharge port 160.

According to an embodiment, water flowing from the water tank may be prevented from penetrating the heat generating part 310 due to the difference in inclination of the structure. Furthermore, the water flowing from the water tank can be prevented from penetrating the heat generating portion 310 by the structure by making the absorption portion of the filter 330 absorb the water flowing from the water tank.

Filter 420 can be easily removed from structure 430 by the above-described separation means. According to various embodiments, the filter 420 may be made of a water-absorbent material including a sponge or cloth material for easy cleaning.

According to an embodiment, water absorbed by filter 420 may be evaporated due to high temperature air supplied to filter 420 through structure 430. According to various embodiments, the vaporized gas may be discharged to the outside of the filter 420 through the plate 410 having a specific shape.
