Optimal embodiments of the present invention will be briefly described with reference to the drawings to show the action of the present invention.

A large amount of steam 5 is generated in the steam generator 6 of the device body 7 . That is, the water 3 in the heating water tank portion 2 of the steam generating portion 6, which is replenished as needed from the tank 1, is heated by the heating portion 4 employing a high output heater, for example, in order to increase the amount of humidification, and a large amount of steam 5 is generated in a short time. It is generated and guided to the upper blowout section 12 .

The steam 5 generated by the steam generating section 6 has a large amount of steam (humidification amount) and is high in temperature. A humidification mixture 10 (humidified steam) containing a large amount of the water vapor 5 or water droplets (fog) generated in the mixed cooling section 9 is meanderingly guided and guided to the upper blowout section 11 through the meandering guide path section 12. is cooled further.

The humidifying air-fuel mixture 10 meanderingly guided by the meandering guide path portion 12 is mixed with the outside air 8 and meanderingly guided. , is sufficiently cooled (for example, lowered to a safe temperature of 70 degrees or less), and the humidifying mixture 10 (humidified steam) cooled to this safe temperature is blown from the upper blowing part 11 to the blower for blowing. 13 (circulator) blows and scatters the air to the outside of the device body 7 .

In this way, a large amount of high-temperature steam is generated in a short time, so it has excellent humidifying ability and is hygienic, and since humidified steam whose temperature has been sufficiently lowered when it is blown out can be released, considerations of installation location and safety are reduced. Moreover, because of the structure capable of discharging sufficiently cooled humidified steam in this way, it is possible to provide a blowing blower 13 (circulator) capable of blowing and scattering the air to a distant place. In addition to blowing and scattering the air, the room can be stirred or a flowing air current can be generated in the room, so that the room can be humidified in a wide range with sanitary humidification steam in a short time, and the room can be easily and evenly humidified. It makes an excellent steam humidifier.

It is provided on the upper part of 6. In this embodiment, the mixed cooling section 9 is positioned above the heating water tank section 2 of the steam generating section 6, that is, below the guide path section between the heating water tank section 2 and the meandering guide path section 11 ( (which can be called a base portion of the meandering guide path portion 11).

Specifically, the outside air introduction blower 14 is provided on the side of the water vapor generating section 6 in the lower part of the device body 7, and the outside air 8 is drawn into the device body 7 and blown by the outside air introduction blower 14. Then, the outside air 8 circulates around the lower portion of the heating water tank portion 2 of the water vapor generating portion 6 through the outside air guide path, is guided upward from the side portion of the heating water tank portion 2, and is introduced into the mixed cooling portion. 9, the outside air 8 and the steam 5 introduced by blowing are mixed and stirred in the mixing cooling unit 9, and the steam 5 is cooled, and the steam mixed with the outside air 8 and cooled. 5 or becomes a humidifying air-fuel mixture 10 (humidified steam) containing water droplets (fog), and is blown and guided to a meandering guide path portion 11 having this mixed cooling portion 11 as a lower portion, and is guided and guided to an upper blowing portion 12. , and is further cooled between them, and the air is blown outward from this blowing portion 12 by an upper blowing air blower 13 (circulator).

That is, in the present embodiment, the high-temperature steam 5 and the outside air 8, which are generated in large quantities in the mixed cooling part 9 above the steam generating part 6, are brought into contact with each other with stirring by introducing the outside air 8, and the steam is cooled. 5 or a humidifying air-fuel mixture 10 (humidified steam) containing water droplets is produced, and this is meanderingly guided and guided to the upper blowout part 11 by the meandering guide path part 12, thereby further cooling in between. The humidifying air-fuel mixture 10 that has been guided and guided is blown and scattered by a blowing air blower 13 (circulator) capable of blowing and scattering far away with strong blowing force from an upper blowing part 11 .

More specifically, the air blowing device 13 of this embodiment is provided on the upper surface of the device body 7 so that the air blowing direction of the rotating circulator fan is directed upward.

It is configured to generate

That is, the circulator 13 draws in a large amount of outside air and blows the air strongly upward (the blowing force is adjustable), so that the humidified steam 10 (fog) is further cooled and diffused upward. , the humidifying steam 10 can be delivered to every corner of the room to be used, and the humidity can reach the proper humidity speedily.

Further, the meandering guide path portion 11 provided between the heating water tank portion 6 and the blowout portion 12 of the steam generating portion 6 of the present embodiment does not simply have a straight tubular shape that guides upward, but rather meanders or detours. Concretely, the humidified steam 10 is guided in a lateral direction or narrowed to form a serpentine portion, and the humidified steam collides with the inner surface of the tube. By forming an inclined surface portion, not only the length of the pipeline is long but also the inner surface collision causes a sufficient temperature drop.
