The fragrance receiving portion 13 is a bowl-shaped receiving tray having a diameter of 2 to 3 cm and a depth of less than 1 cm, and is configured by resin molding together with the outer cover 10. The fragrance receiving unit 13 is used by dropping 1 to 3 fragrances according to the user's preference.

FIG. 3 is a view showing a state in which the outer cover 10 is removed from the completed state of FIG. 2 for explanation. As shown in FIG. 3, the tank 20 is mounted on the base portion 60, and when the outer cover 10 is removed, the tank 20 can be attached and detached upward. An elliptical (or oval-shaped) seal portion 31a is applied to a portion where the upper ends of the upper guide portion 31 and the detour portion 315 are in contact with the top surface of the outer cover 10, and the upper guide portion 31 and the detour portion 315 Confidentiality with the outer cover 10 is maintained. The through-hole 311 in the central portion of the detour portion 315 is used for penetrating the screw from below to above when the upper guide portion 31 and the detour portion 315 are screwed to the outer cover 10 side.

Next, the humidifier tank 20 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the humidifier tank 20 according to the present embodiment as viewed from above, and FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the tank 20 as viewed from below. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the tank 20 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a vertical cutout portion 23 in a part of the cylindrical shape so that the upper guide portion 31 extending in the vertical direction is inserted therethrough. The detour accommodating portion 21 is recessed in the upper part of the cylindrical shape, and the detour portion 315 (see FIG. 8) which is a part of the upper guide portion 31 is accommodated above the detour accommodating portion 21. It is formed as follows. The tank 20 has an outlet for stored water on the bottom surface, the outlet is opened in a circular shape, and a circular flange (not shown) protruding downward is provided at the circular opening end. Furthermore, a spiral groove (not shown) is provided on the outer periphery of the circular flange. As shown in FIG. 5, a cap 22 having a valve 25 is attached to the circular flange, and the cap 22 can be opened and closed by screwing and releasing the cap 22 along the spiral groove. It has become.

Next, the structure of the base part 60 is demonstrated using FIG. FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing the base portion 60 of the humidifier according to the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the humidifying portion 63 is a substantially cylindrical recess, and a heater 70 such as a PCT heater is provided at the bottom thereof. The water storage portions 62a and 62b are concave portions configured such that resin is interposed between the water storage portions 62a and 62b, and have protrusions 621 at predetermined positions on the bottom surface as shown in FIG. The predetermined portion mentioned here is a position corresponding to the valve 25 of the tank 20 when the tank 20 is mounted (see FIG. 1). When the tank 20 is mounted on the lower base portion 60 from above, the protrusion 621 pushes up the valve 25 to open the outlet of the tank 20, and when the water in the water storage portion 62 decreases, water is reduced by the reduced amount. Operates to replenish.

Moreover, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.6, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.6, the communicating water channel 61 is formed between the humidification part 63 and the water storage part 62, and when the water of the humidification part 63 decreases, the water storage part collected temporarily. It is possible to automatically supply the water 62 so as to flow into the humidifying unit 63 and submerge the heater 70. Since the water storage units 62a and 62b are replenished with cold water from the tank 20 each time, the water temperature is always kept low. Therefore, resin partition walls 64a and 64b are interposed between the water storage units 62a and 62b and the humidification unit 63 to insulate between the humidification unit 63 and the water storage units 62a and 62b, thereby cooling the water in the humidification unit 63. It is difficult. On the other hand, the generation of steam is made efficient by reducing the water storage capacity of the humidifying unit 63 and increasing the temperature rising rate of heating the water by the heater 70. The water storage capacity of the humidifying unit 63 depends on the cylindrical inner diameter of the humidifying unit 63, but the diameter is preferably in the range of 5 to 10 cm. In addition, if the resin partition walls 64a and 64b interposed between the water storage portions 62a and 62b and the humidifying portion 63 are hollow, the heat insulating property can be further improved and the steam generation efficiency can be further improved. .

Next, the internal structure of the humidifier according to the present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 and 7 to 9. FIG. 7 is an exploded view showing a state where the lower guide portion 32 is attached to the base portion 60 of the humidifier according to the present embodiment, and FIG. 8 shows the guide portions (31, 32) of the humidifier, the tank cover 26, and the like. FIG. 9 is an exploded view showing the relationship between the tank 20 and the cover 40 of the humidifier.

As shown in FIG. 1, the guide portions (31, 32) in the present embodiment have a multistage configuration in which an upper guide portion 31 and a lower guide portion 32 are combined, and a detour portion that is a part of the upper guide portion 31. 315 and the upper guide part 31 are screwed to the outer cover 10 to form an integral structure. When the user lifts the outer cover 10 upward, the upper guide part 31 is separated from the lower guide part 32. The detour portion 315 and the upper guide portion 31 are also lifted together, and only the lower guide portion 32 is exposed in a state where it is mounted on the base portion 60 as shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIG. 1, the lower end of the upper guide portion 31 opens with an inner diameter larger than the upper end of the lower guide portion 32, and the upper end of the lower guide portion 32 is smaller than the lower end of the upper guide portion 31. It has an outer diameter and is mounted with its ends overlapping so that the lower end of the upper guide portion 31 encloses the upper end of the lower guide portion 32.

As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the lower guide portion 32 is attached to the base portion 60 and has a cylindrical shape like a bamboo shoot with a thin upper portion and a thick lower portion. As shown in FIG. 63 water can flow into the lower guide portion 32 from the lower end. The tank cover 26 (see FIG. 8) is mounted so as to cover the upper portion of the base portion 60, and prevents the water stored in the water storage portions 62a and 62b from evaporating. The cover 40 is used as a heat insulating material.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 8, the detour portion 315 is formed with an inclined bottom so as to become shallower as it moves away from the connection portion with the upper guide portion 31, and is connected to the upper guide portion 31. An inclined surface having a gentle angle (10 to 20 degrees) is formed so as to face upward as the distance from the portion increases. Accordingly, when steam is condensed in the detour portion 315, the dew condensation water flows along the inclined surface, returns to the humidifying portion 63 located below, and does not remain in the detour portion 315. . For this reason, when the user lifts the outer cover 10 and replenishes the tank 20 with water, the trouble that the dew condensation water of the detour portion 315 spills on the floor surface can be prevented.

As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the detour portion 315 extends from the connecting portion with the upper guide portion 31 in the radial direction (width direction) of the humidifier, and the upper end portion has an oval shape, A seal portion 31a is attached. An elastic member such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber is used for the seal portion 31a. By passing a screw through the through hole 311 from below the bypass portion 315 and screwing it to the upper outer cover 10, the outer cover 10, the bypass portion 315, and the upper guide portion 31 can be integrated, and the seal portion 31a Ensure their confidentiality. As a result, a sealed space (bypass portion 315) along the top surface of the outer cover 10 is formed.

In the humidifying unit 63 in the base unit 60, the heater 70 is energized to heat the water in the humidifying unit 63 and generate steam. The lower guide part 32 enclosing the heater 70 guides the steam generated in the humidifying part 63 upward and discharges it to the upper guide part 31, as can be seen from FIG. The steam is further discharged from the outlet 12 directly above through the upper guide portion 31, and humidifies the room where the main body 1 of the humidifier is installed. A part of the steam in the upper guide portion 31 flows into the space of the detour portion 315, heats the back surface of the fragrance receiving portion 13 (the inner surface of the outer cover 10), and vaporizes the fragrance in the fragrance receiving portion 13.

In addition, the bypass portion 315 extending in the radial direction (width direction) of the water humidifier and having the closed end portion retains the internal steam for a long time and is cooled by the surrounding air. The receiving part 13 is heated. Therefore, the steam ejected from the outlet 12 becomes a temperature close to 100 degrees, but the temperature of the steam in the vicinity of the fragrance receiving section 13 is lowered by about 20 degrees, and the fragrance in the fragrance receiving section 13 is not so high. The fragrance can be volatilized so that it is heated to a good scent.

Hereinafter, other embodiments will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram schematically showing a main part configuration of a humidifier according to another embodiment. From FIG. The positional relationship of the aroma receiving part 13 is typically shown. Here, the arrow has shown the flow of the blowing part of fog.

First, the configuration shown in FIG. 10A has substantially the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment, and a combination of the upper guide portion 31 and the lower guide portion 32 may be considered as the guide portion 313. The guide part 313 guides the lower steam upward and discharges it from the air outlet 12 at the tip part to the outside of the main body 1. The fragrance receiving portion 13 is disposed at a position spaced apart from the blowout port 12 in the horizontal direction (lateral direction or width direction of the humidifier), and the detour portion 315 is branched from the guide portion 313 and horizontally below the fragrance receiving portion 13. And its tip is in a closed state. In this state, the steam discharged from the blower outlet 12 rises straight in the guide portion 313, and thus has a temperature of 90 to 100 ° C. In the bypass unit 315, a part of the steam in the guide part 313 is guided, but it is difficult for the guided steam to be replaced with the internal steam, and most of the internal steam stays for a long time. Therefore, it is cooled at the ambient temperature outside the detour part 315 while the steam stays, and falls to a temperature of 70 to 80 ° C. This temperature is suitable for vaporizing the aroma, and the fragrance can be vaporized appropriately so that the aroma is not too strong.

However, if the bypass part 315 extends in the horizontal direction in this way, the condensed water accumulates in the lower part of the bypass part 315. Therefore, the upper guide part 31 integrated with the outer cover 10 is removed to remove the tank. It should be noted that when water is supplied to 20, water accumulated in the bypass unit 315 may spill onto the floor surface.

Next, the form shown in FIG. 10 (b) is the same as the form shown in FIG. 10 (a) in that the air outlet 12 and the fragrance receiving part 13 are separated in the horizontal direction, but the detour part. 315 is different in that the fragrance receiving portion 13 is placed on the end portion where the end of the detour portion 315 is closed by branching 315 obliquely upward from the guide portion 313. In this configuration, since the steam that has entered the detour portion 315 from the guide portion 313 provided in the vertical direction is less likely to be replaced as compared with FIG. 10A, the steam staying inside is more easily cooled at the ambient temperature. Compared to 10 (a), the temperature drops by about 10 ° C. When the internal steam is condensed, the condensed water is always escaped to the humidifying unit 63 through the detoured part 315 and the guide part 313 inclined, so that the dewed water does not stay in the detoured part 315. For this reason, when the user removes the upper guide portion 31 integrated with the outer cover 10 and replenishes the tank 20 with water, there is no fear of causing trouble that the condensed water spills.

Further, the form shown in FIG. 10C is the same as the form shown in FIG. 10A in that the air outlet 12 and the fragrance receiving part 13 are separated in the horizontal direction. The difference is that the space volume in 315 is made larger. That is, since the area where the detour portion 315 and the guide portion 313 intersect is larger than that in the embodiment shown in FIG. 10A, a part of the steam discharged from the outlet 12 through the guide portion 313 is detour portion. It becomes easy to enter the inside of 315, and the steam staying in the detour portion 315 and the new steam are exchanged. Therefore, even if the fragrance receiving portion 13 is separated from the air outlet 12, the temperature of the fragrance receiving portion 13 is difficult to decrease, and the fragrance of the fragrance is heated by warming the fragrance (aroma) in the fragrance receiving portion 13 at a high temperature. The amount can be increased. However, since the volume of the bypass unit 315 increases, it is necessary to set the volume of the tank 20 accommodated below the bypass unit 315 to be small accordingly.

Further, in the configuration shown in FIG. 10D, the guide portion 313 arranged in the vertical direction is connected to the guide portion 313 at two locations in a state where the bypass portion 315 is bent (or curved) to form an annular shape. doing. There are two places where the detour portion 315 is connected, that is, the vicinity of the outlet 12 in the guide portion 313 and a position below it. The fragrance receiving portion 13 is disposed at a position spaced from the air outlet 12 and in contact with the upper portion of the detour portion 315. In this form, the steam of the guide part 313 enters the bypass part 315 from the connection part below the bypass part 315, returns to the upper part of the guide part 313 via the annular part, and discharges steam from the nearby outlet 12 . Accordingly, the inside of the bypass unit 315 is always replaced with new steam, and the temperature difference between the steam in the vicinity of the outlet 12 and the steam in the vicinity of the fragrance receiving section 13 can be reduced, and the fragrance (aromatic) in the fragrance receiving section 13 There is an advantage that the amount of volatilization of the fragrance can be increased by warming at a high temperature. However, since the volume constituting the bypass unit 315 is increased, it is necessary to set the volume of the tank 20 that can be stored below the bypass unit 315 to be small.

In addition, in the form shown in FIG. 10 (e), the lower portion of the guide portion 313 is in the vertical direction, but the upper portion of the guide portion 313 is bent and inclined, and the detour portion 315 is connected to the bending point, A configuration in which the bypass portion 315 and the guide portion 313 are connected to each other is formed in a Y shape, and the fragrance receiving portion 13 is disposed at the distal end portion of the bypass portion 315 that is in a closed state. Thereby, since the separation distance of the blower outlet 12 and the fragrance receiving part 13 is enlarged, when pouring fragrance | flavor (aroma) in the fragrance receiving part 13, a user accidentally pours the fragrance into the guide part 313. Risk can be reduced.

Finally, in the form shown in FIG. 10 (f), the upper end portion of the guide portion 313 arranged in the vertical direction is closed, the front end portion is bent in the horizontal direction, and the air outlet 12 is provided at the front end portion. The fragrance receiving portion 13 is provided in contact with the upper end portion of the guide portion 313 to increase the distance between the fragrance receiving portion 13 and the outlet 12. Therefore, when the fragrance (aroma) is poured into the fragrance receiving portion 13, the risk of accidentally pouring the fragrance into the guide portion 313 can be further reduced. Further, since the fragrance receiving portion 13 is always warmed by the steam passing through the guide portion 313 in the vertical direction, the fragrance receiving portion 13 is heated at substantially the same temperature as the temperature of the steam ejected from the outlet 12. It is possible to warm the fragrance at the highest temperature among the other embodiments of (a) to (f) and efficiently vaporize it.

In the above-described embodiment, the description has been made on the premise of a vaporizer humidifier that vaporizes water using the heater 70. However, if a warm atomized flow is generated by heating in the heater section, the super The present invention can also be applied to an ultrasonic humidification type humidifier using a sound wave vibrator or a vaporization type humidifier using a vaporization filter.

For example, a heater unit can be disposed in the communication water channel of the above-described embodiment, and the heater 70 on the bottom surface of the humidifying unit 63 can be replaced with an ultrasonic vibrator, and the ultrasonic vibrator can be vibrated to perform a humidifying operation. In this case, if the communicating water channel is a thin tube, water can be efficiently heated. Although a humidifying operation using only an ultrasonic vibrator is possible, using the heater unit together can improve the humidifying ability by 20 to 30% and prevent the propagation of germs and mold.

According to this embodiment, since the separation distance between the air outlet 12 and the fragrance receiving portion 13 can be sufficiently ensured, the risk that an aroma component enters the vaporizing portion from the air outlet 12 can be greatly reduced. Further, even when the user replenishes the aroma liquid during humidification, the risk of the user inadvertently pouring the fragrance into the guide portion 313 can be reduced. Moreover, even during the operation of the humidifier, the risk of the steam ejected from the outlet 12 coming into contact with the bare hands can be reduced, so the burden on the user can be reduced.

The present invention can be used for humidification of living rooms, Japanese-style rooms, bedrooms, children's rooms, etc., especially for humidification that can diffuse the fragrance using the heat of the atomization passage. Can be applied.
