  Thereafter, the handle 8 provided on the top panel 9 is rotated to be in an upright state, and is humidified with a screw through a screw fixing hole 34 provided at a position appearing by the rotation of the top panel 9. A top panel 9 is fixed on the top surface of the main body 4 (see FIG. 18). Further, the rear panel 10 is fixed to the rear portion of the humidifier body 4 with screws through screw fixing holes 36 formed in the overlapping portion 32 recessed in the lower portion of the rear panel 10.

  Finally, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 19, the water tank main body 3 is stored in the water tank storage portion 15 formed in the humidifier housing 2 while sliding forward. In the water tank body 3, both chambers are separated and formed in communication with each other by a detachable partition plate 42 so that a filter storage chamber 40 is formed on the front side and a tank storage chamber 41 on the rear side. A humidifying filter 43, which will be described later, is disposed in the 40 so that the lower part is immersed in the water therein.

  When the water tank 47 is inserted into the tank storage chamber 41 of the water tank body 3 from above, the water tank body 3 is slid from the back of the humidifier housing 2 to the front and stored in the water tank storage unit 15. The upper part of the partition plate 42 overlaps with the overlapping portion 32 of the back panel 10 from the back. In this state, the folded hooks 45 formed downward from the upper front end of the suspension hook 44 provided on the rear panel 10 of the humidifier housing 2 are locked from above, and both side surfaces and the rear surface are supplied with water. When the support lid body 46 is placed from above so as to be placed on the stepped portion 47A formed at the upper part of the tank 47, the water supply tank 47 in a state where the hanging hook 44 is accommodated in the upper escape space 54 is supported. It can be supported and fixed by the lid 46 (see FIGS. 2 and 20).

  As shown in FIG. 3, the water supply tank 47 is provided with a cap 50 having a handle 48 at the top and a detachable circular water inlet 49 at the bottom, and a valve 51 provided at the center. As shown in FIG. 21, when the water supply tank 47 filled with water through the water injection port 49 is turned upside down and stored in the tank storage chamber 41, the valve 51 is stored in the tank. Abutting on a valve abutting portion 53 erected in a recessed portion 52 formed in the chamber 41, the water in the water supply tank 47 is supplied into the water tank body 3 and is opened through the recessed portion 52. 41 and the filter storage chamber 40 are configured to be maintained at a constant water level.

  Further, the water supply tank 47 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and a bulging portion 55 is formed by bulging the front surface from the lower portion to a half height position in a substantially semi-cylindrical shape, and the concave portion 52. Three support pins 56 (two not shown) are at the same height on the bottom wall of the tank storage chamber 41 around 120 degrees, but are slightly lower than the valve contact portion 53. It is installed.

  Further, when the water supply tank 47 is disposed in the tank storage chamber 41 and the water supply tank 47 has no water or is less than a certain amount, the center of gravity is located behind the valve 51 and tilts backward. When the internal water is full or considerably larger than a certain amount, the valve 51 is recessed by the valve contact portion 53, the three support pins 56 contact the cap 50 with equal pressure, and the center of gravity is directly above the valve 51. It is formed to be a position.

  Therefore, if the user wants to replenish water without checking the amount of water in the water supply tank 47 made of, for example, a transparent or translucent material, visually, First, the support lid 46 is lifted upward in order to uncover the state where the water supply tank 47 is covered from above and the folded piece 45 is locked to the suspension hook 44. At this time, if the amount of water in the water supply tank 47 is less than a certain amount, the water supply tank 47 tilts backward, so that the user can understand that it should be replenished without checking the amount of water accurately. Therefore, when the water supply tank 47 is tilted backward, the water supply tank 47 is taken out from the tank storage chamber 41, turned upside down as shown in FIG. 21, and the cap 50 is removed and water is supplied through the water inlet 49. Can be met.

  In the state where the water tank body 3 is slid forward from the back of the humidifier housing 2 and stored in the water tank storage portion 15, the humidifier housing 2 is fixed to the humidifier housing 2 with a fixing screw from the back side. Since the upper part of the partition plate 42 that separates the filter storage chamber 40 and the tank storage chamber 41 is overlapped with the overlapping portion 32 formed in the lower back portion of the back panel 10, an appropriate click feeling is generated during the overlap, The storage space 42A for restricting the forward movement of the water tank body 3 and also for storing the water supply tank 47 in the partition plate 42 is formed so as to communicate with the storage space 33 of the back panel 10, Is the same surface as the partition plate 42 and has a good appearance.

  After the water tank body 3 is slid forward and stored in the water tank storage part 15, for example, when the water tank is full, the water supply tank 47 is in an upright state, and the folded piece is attached to the suspension hook 44 provided on the back panel 10. The water supply tank 47 is covered and supported by the support lid body 46 so that the support lid body 46 is covered from above so that 45 is locked from above, but the bulging portion 55 of the water supply tank 47 is stored in the back panel 10. Since it fits in the space 33, the front and rear dimensions of the humidifier 1 can be reduced by that amount, and the thickness can be reduced. That is, the depth dimension of the rectangular parallelepiped portion of the water supply tank 47 is about 78 mm, but the depth dimension of the portion where the bulging portion 55 is formed is about 98 mm, which can be reduced by about 20 mm.

  Further, a float 58 with a magnet is axially supported in the recess 52 so as to be swingable in the left-right direction. A reed switch disposed at the bottom of the humidifier body 4 corresponding to the float 58. (Not shown) is opened and closed by the magnetic force of the magnet, and when the water level in the concave portion 52 falls below the steady water level and becomes in a drought state, the float 58 swings and the magnet is lowered. The operation is stopped.

  24 and 25, two electrodes 60 (only one is shown for convenience because the other cannot be seen because they overlap each other) can be used as a city water supply by energizing one as a positive electrode and the other as a negative electrode. Hypochlorous acid is generated in the water of the water tank body 3 by electrolysis using chlorine ions contained in tap water, and the water in the water tank body 3 is sterilized by the generated hypochlorous acid. Then, at least a part of the tip of the electrode 60 is provided in the humidifier housing 2 so as to be immersed in the water in the water tank main body 3, and the water tank main body 3 is retractably stored in the water tank storage portion 15 as described above. Therefore, when the aquarium body 3 is stored, the electrode 60 swings to a predetermined position so as to be immersed in the water in the aquarium body 3, and when the aquarium body 3 is pulled out, It moves away so that it may evacuate from the water tank main body 3, and is supported in the humidifier housing | casing 2 so that rocking is possible with the accommodation and drawing-out operation | movement of the said water tank main body 3.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22 which is a left side view of the humidifier 1 with the left side panel 14 removed, the mounting plate 61 to which the electrode 60 is swingably attached is a left side of the humidifier body 4. When the water tank main body 3 is slid so as to be housed in the water tank housing portion 15 as shown in FIG. 3, the electrode pressing portion 63 projecting forward at the left portion of the water tank main body 3 is fixed to the surface. Contacts the contact portion 66 through the opening of the front plate that forms the mounting space of the electrode 60 together with the mounting plate 61, the electrode mounting holder 67 swings, and the electrode 60 is immersed in the water in the water tank body 3. It is the structure which moves as follows.

  A recess 68 opened rearward is formed by the side surface of the water tank body 3 and the electrode pressing portion 63, and a side wall that forms a mounting space for the electrode 60 when the water tank body 3 is stored in the humidifier housing 2 is formed in the recess 68. The water tank body 3 can be supported and fixed to the humidifier housing 2 in a state where the left and right shaking of the water tank body 3 is suppressed.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 24 and 25 which are left side (inner side) views of the mounting plate 61, an upright wall 4 </ b> A is provided on the left side of the humidifier body 4 so as to have a square shape in a side view. The mounting plate 61 is fixed to the humidifier body 4 with screws 62 so that the rising wall 61B formed on the peripheral edge portion is inward of the rising wall 4A of the humidifier body 4 while being in contact with the peripheral plane portion 61A. Is done.

  The mounting plate 61 has an abutting portion 66 formed on one end side and an electrode mounting holder 67 to which two electrodes 60 (the other is on the lower side of the paper, not shown) are attached to the other end. The intermediate portion is supported on the support shaft 70 so as to be swingable. That is, a support shaft 70 is erected on the mounting plate 61, and the support shaft 70 is rotatable in a hollow portion of a cylindrical shaft cylinder 71 erected on the electrode mounting holder 67 in the direction of the mounting plate 61. The intermediate portion of the electrode mounting holder 67 is swingably supported on the mounting plate 61 by being inserted.

  In addition, the coil spring 73 is wound around the shaft cylinder 71, one end is supported by a pin 74 erected on the mounting plate 61, and the other end is a locking portion 75 (surface facing the mounting plate 61) of the electrode mounting holder 67. The screw 76 is screwed into the support shaft 70 in a state where the coil spring 73 and the electrode mounting holder 67 are prevented from being detached, and the coil spring 73 always keeps the electrode 60 upward. When the electrode pressing portion 63 of the water tank body 3 is not in contact with the contact portion 66, the electrode mounting holder is attached to the restriction portion 80 formed on the mounting plate 61. The electrode 60 is separated from the water of the water tank body 3 in a state where the side surface portion 67A of the 67 is in contact and regulated (see FIG. 24). When the aquarium body 3 is slid so as to be accommodated in the aquarium accommodating portion 15, the electrode pressing portion 63 of the aquarium body 3 abuts on the abutting portion 66 through the opening of the front plate, and the coil spring 73. The electrode mounting holder 67 is oscillated against the urging force, and the electrode 60 is moved so as to be immersed in the water in the water tank body 3 (see FIG. 25).

  The electrical box 81 is provided above the mounting plate 61 on the left side surface portion of the humidifier body 4 and is equipped with various electronic components or a printed circuit board connected to various electronic components via each lead wire. It is arranged. The electrode 60 is connected to the printed circuit board via a lead wire 82 having a wire outer diameter of 1.2 mm, for example. The electrode mounting holder 67 swings and the lead wire 82 is slackened or stretched. However, the influence of the lead wire 82 on the outside of the mounting plate 61, that is, the lead wire 82 is processed in the mounting plate 61 so that the lead wire 82 does not come off or break from the printed circuit board or the electrode 60 in the electrical box 81. is doing.

  That is, first, two pins 84 and 85 that are above the support shaft 70 and have the same vertical arrangement level are provided on the mounting plate 61, and the electrodes 83 are held by the pressing pieces 83 of the electrode mounting holder 67. The lead wire 82 extending from the lower side is supported by pressing the lead wire 82 from 60, and between the one pin 84 erected on the mounting plate 61 and the other end of the restricting portion 80 (both of them) The inner dimension is 1.5 mm), and from above the one pin 84 is passed between this pin 84 and the other pin 85 (both inner dimensions are 2.0 mm). The lead wire 82 is connected to the printed circuit board in the electrical box 81 after passing through a cylindrical screw mounting rising cylinder 86 (both inner dimensions are 1.4 mm). In this case, the lead wire 82 is formed in a zigzag wiring process along the vertical direction so that any interval is larger than the outer wire diameter of 1.2 mm of the lead wire 82 and smaller than twice the outer wire diameter of 1.2 mm. 82 can be fixedly supported.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 25, the electrode pressing portion 63 of the water tank main body 3 abuts against the abutting portion 66, and the electrode mounting holder 67 is swung against the urging force of the coil spring 73 to thereby oscillate the electrode 60. Is immersed in the water in the water tank body 3, the distance between the one pin 84 and the pressing piece 83 is the longest, and the lead wire 82 extends. However, as shown in FIG. When the water tank main body 3 is pulled out from the portion 15, the contact between the electrode pressing portion 63 of the water tank main body 3 and the contact portion 66 is released, and the electrode mounting holder 67 is swung by the biasing force of the coil spring 73. The distance between the one pin 84 and the pressing piece 83 is the shortest and the lead wire 82 is slack.

  Accordingly, the distance between the one pin 84 and the pressing piece 83 is the longest and the lead wire 82 is extended. At this time, the lead wire 82 is drawn into the mounting plate 61 so as not to move. The wiring process as described above is performed.

  That is, when the water tank main body 3 is stored in the water tank storage part 15, the electrode pressing part 63 of the water tank main body 3 comes into contact with the contact part 66, and resists the biasing force of the coil spring 73, and the electrode mounting holder 67. Even if the lead wire 82 expands because the distance between the one pin 84 and the pressing piece 83 is the longest, the lead wire 82 is held within the mounting plate 61 and the one pin. 84, the other end of the restricting portion 80, the other pin 85, and a screw mounting rising cylinder 86 are fixedly supported, and the lead wire 82 is not drawn into the mounting plate 61 and moved. Further, when the water tank main body 3 is pulled out from the water tank housing part 15, the electrode mounting holder 67 is swung by the biasing force of the coil spring 73, and the distance between the one pin 84 and the pressing piece 83 is minimized. Even if the lead wire 82 is slack, the lead wire 82 is not drawn and moved into the mounting plate 61 and is not moved to the outside of the mounting plate 61.

  For this reason, even if the water tank main body 3 is taken in and out of the water tank housing portion 15 and the electrode mounting holder 67 swings and the lead wire 82 is slackened or extended, the lead wire 82 is still connected to the printed circuit board in the electrical box 81. It is possible to prevent the electrode from being detached from the electrode 60 or from being cut off.

  In addition, when exchanging parts, such as the electrode 60, the water tank main body 3 is first pulled out from the water tank accommodating part 15 of the humidifier housing | casing 2, and a screw is loosened in order to cancel fixation of the back panel 10 to the humidifier main body 4. FIG. At the same time, the screws are loosened to release the fixation of the top panel 9 to the humidifier body 4, the rear panel 10 and the top panel 9 are removed from the humidifier body 4, and the side plate support member 21 is also removed (see FIGS. 22 and 22). 23). Next, the screws 62 are loosened and the mounting plate 61 to which the electrodes 60 and the like are attached is removed from the left side surface of the humidifier body 4 and the parts such as the electrodes 60 are replaced.

  Accordingly, by removing the mounting plate 61 from the left side surface of the humidifier body 4, the electrodes 60 and the like are attached to the mounting plate 61 instead of the humidifier body 4 side, so that the parts such as the electrode 60 can be easily replaced. . Moreover, since the electrical equipment box 81 is provided above the mounting plate 61 on the left side surface portion of the humidifier housing 2, the lead wire 62 connected to the electrode 60 can be shortened.

  A blower composed of a sirocco fan that is rotated by an electric motor is housed in a blower chamber 17 formed by a fan casing 16 in the humidifier body 4. Then, when the blower is operated, air is sucked into the blower chamber 17 from the right side panel 13 to which the air filter 11 and the suction grill 12 are attached, through the suction port opened to the side of the fan casing 16, and is placed in the lower part of the fan casing 16. The moist air that is directed to the humidifying filter 43 in the water tank body 3 through the opened outlet and passes through the humidifying filter 43 is ventilated between the rear surface of the fan casing 16, the back panel 10, and the partition plate 42. It is the structure which rises through a path | route and blows off indoors through the blower outlet 7 of the top | upper surface panel 9. FIG.

  The humidifying filter 43 has a large number of air passing from the blower between a flat cloth body and a corrugated cloth body made of a nonwoven fabric made of chemical fiber that sucks up water in the water tank body 3 by capillary action. A filter block 43A having a rectangular parallelepiped shape and a frame 43B having a rectangular parallelepiped shape having an air passage opening and enclosing the filter block 43A. And the lower part of the flat cloth and the corrugated cloth body of the filter block 43A of the humidifying filter 43 is submerged in the water in the water tank body 3, and the water in the water tank body 3 is sucked up by capillary action and supplied by the blower. While the blown air passes through a large number of the air passages, the sucked water is vaporized to become humid air and is sent to the rear surface side of the humidifying filter 43, and the air passes through the air passage to contain moisture. The air is sent out from the air outlet 7 to the outside of the humidifier 1 to humidify the air in the room where the humidifier 1 is installed.

  Next, legs provided at, for example, the four corners of the bottom surface of the humidifier body 4 will be described with reference to FIGS. As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, a mounting cylinder portion 90 whose bottom surface is open (bottomless) is provided on the bottom surface of the humidifier body 4 so as to protrude from the bottom surface of the humidifier body 4. That is, support protrusions 91 projecting inwardly are formed at two intermediate positions on the inner wall surface at two opposing positions at 180 degrees. The support protrusions 91 have a shape that is half of a cone that is slanted so as to gradually approach each other from the bottom to the top and that has a longitudinal section with a cone that increases in diameter toward the top.

  The leg main body 92 whose lower surface is in contact with the floor or the like has a two-stage cylindrical shape having a large diameter and a small diameter, and has a thin wall with an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the cylindrical wall of the mounting cylinder portion 90 and larger than the inner diameter. 92 A of support parts and the outer diameter formed in the upper part of this support part 92A is smaller than the internal diameter of the cylinder wall of the said mounting cylinder part 90, and is larger than the space | interval of both the support protrusions 91, and height is the inside of the said mounting cylinder part 90 The insertion portion 92B has the same depth as the space.

  The leg body 92 is made of a synthetic rubber that is elastic and has a high friction coefficient, such as CR (chloroprene rubber) or EPDM (ethylene / propylene rubber), and is resistant to deterioration even when exposed to the atmosphere. There are preferred.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, when the insertion portions 92B of the leg main bodies 92 are inserted into the mounting cylinders 90 on the bottom surface of the humidifier body 4 from below, the both support protrusions 91 are ridged. Although it deform | transforms a little so that it may dent, it contacts and supports the side part of the insertion part 92B of each leg main body 92. In this case, it is inserted until the top surface of the insertion portion 92B of the leg main body 92 comes into contact with the upper wall surface of the mounting tube portion 90. However, since the contact allowance between the leg main body 92 and the mounting tube portion 90 at the time of insertion is short, easy.

  That is, when the columnar leg body is simply inserted into the hollow cylindrical portion as in the conventional general structure, it is difficult to insert the both because the contact allowance between the two is long. However, as shown in FIG. When the insertion portions 92B of the leg main bodies 92 are inserted into the mounting cylinder portions 90 on the bottom surface of the main body 4 from below, the support protrusions 91 of the mounting cylinder portion 90 are in contact with the insertion portions 92B of the leg main body 92. Although inserted, it is easy to insert because the contact allowance with the leg main body 92 at the time of insertion is short, and the support protrusions 91 after insertion are shaped so as to gradually approach each other from below to above. It is hard to come off.
