Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a heater with a heat sink and a humidifier, which is suitable for heating and humidifying the inside of a container for viewing plants.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 As a heater for heating the inside of a plant viewing container, a small, safe and inexpensive heater with a heat sink is generally used. The heater with a heat radiating plate is one in which aluminum fins are placed around a heat generating resistor installed upright on the base, and the temperature is usually controlled by a thermostat.

[0003] The interior of the appreciation container is heated to a temperature suitable for growing plants by being heated by a heater with a heat radiating plate. On the other hand, heating lowers the humidity in the appreciation container, which causes an unfavorable environment for plant growth. Sometimes it becomes. Therefore, in order to prevent the humidity in the viewing container from decreasing, a humidifier is installed separately inside the viewing container.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, if a heater with a radiator plate and a humidifier are separately installed in the viewing container, a relatively large viewing container must be used, and the power consumption due to their use is also excessive, which is not preferable. .

The present invention has been made in view of the problems in the prior arts described above, and it is not necessary to use a large-sized viewing container and the power consumption is not excessive. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a heater with a heat sink that also serves as a humidifier that can heat the inside of the container.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the heater with a radiator plate of the present invention is a heater with a radiator plate formed by fixing aluminum fins forming a plurality of panels to a base, and a water storage consisting of a bottom plate and side plates. It is characterized in that it is composed of an evaporating dish, and that the water storage evaporating dish can be placed and positioned on the heater with a radiator plate.

In order to allow the water storage evaporation dish to be placed on the heater with a radiator plate, the upper end surface of the aluminum fin and the lower side surface of the bottom plate portion of the water storage evaporation dish may be flat surfaces. Further, in order to be able to position the water storage evaporation dish on the heater with a heat dissipation plate, a fitting recess is formed in an appropriate panel of the aluminum fins, and a fitting projection is formed at a corresponding position of the bottom plate of the water evaporation dish. May be formed.

[0008]

[Action]

 The lower surface of the bottom plate is brought into contact with the upper end surface of the aluminum fin so that the fitting recess of the panel and the fitting protrusion of the bottom plate fit, and the water storage evaporation dish is placed on the heater with a heat radiating plate. Then, after storing an appropriate amount of water in the water storage evaporation dish, if the power of the heater with heat sink is turned on, heat is dissipated from the aluminum fins of the heater with heat sink, the viewing container is heated to an appropriate temperature, and water is stored. The water in the evaporating dish evaporates, and the viewing container is humidified to an appropriate humidity.

【Example】

 Next, an embodiment of the heater with a radiator plate according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heater 1 with a radiator plate serving also as a humidifier has a water storage evaporation tray 3 mounted on a heater 2 with a radiator plate.

As shown in FIG. 2, the heater 2 with a heat dissipation plate has a heater plate 4 sandwiched between two aluminum fins 5 and 5 from both sides, and each aluminum fin 5 and 5 is attached to a base 6 by screws 7 or the like. It is fixed.

The aluminum fins 5 are formed by extruding aluminum and forming a plurality of panels 8 by die casting or the like in order to enhance the heat radiation effect, and the upper end surface 5a thereof is a flat surface. Here, a fitting recess 8a is formed on the outer upper end of the panel 8 at an appropriate position.

The stored water evaporation tray 3 is formed of aluminum or the like having high corrosion resistance, and includes a bottom plate portion 9 and a side plate portion 10. Here, the lower side surface 9a of the bottom plate portion 9 is a flat surface, and a fitting convex portion 9b protruding downward is formed at an appropriate position of the bottom plate portion 9.

When the water storage evaporation dish 3 is placed on the heater 2 with a heat radiating plate, the fitting concave portion 8 a of the panel 8 and the fitting convex portion 9 b of the bottom plate portion 9 are fitted to each other. Therefore, the water storage / evaporation dish 3 is reliably positioned without moving on the heater 2 with a heat radiating plate.

The upper end surface 5a of the aluminum fin 5 and the lower side surface 9a of the bottom plate portion 9 do not necessarily have to be flat, and the upper end surface 5a of the aluminum fin 5 and the lower side surface 9a of the bottom plate portion 9 correspond to each other. It is also possible to form only a part of each of them on a flat surface.

Further, instead of forming the fitting concave portion 8 a on the panel 8 and the fitting convex portion 9 b on the bottom plate portion 9, the fitting convex portion may be formed on the panel 8 and the fitting concave portion may be formed on the bottom plate portion 9. Of course, not only the fitting concavo-convex portion, but also any other fitting or engaging form may be adopted as long as the positioning can be surely performed.

The size of the water storage evaporation dish 3 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to match the size of the heater 2 with a radiator plate as much as possible, and the aluminum fins 5 are 150 mm long, 100 mm wide, and 60 mm high. In this case, it is preferable that the stored water evaporation dish 3 also has a length of 150 mm, a width of 100 mm, and a height of 20 to 50 mm.

As shown in FIG. 1, the heater with a radiator plate also serving as a humidifier has an upper end surface 5 a of the aluminum fin 5 so that the fitting concave portion 8 a of the panel 8 and the fitting convex portion 9 b of the bottom plate portion 9 are fitted to each other. The lower surface 9a of the bottom plate portion 9 is brought into contact with the bottom plate portion 9 and the water storage evaporation dish 3 is placed on the heater 2 with a heat radiating plate. Then, after storing an appropriate amount of water in the water storage evaporation tray 3, the plug 12 of the power cord 11 is inserted into an outlet (not shown) at an appropriate place, and the heater 2 with a heat radiating plate is turned on.

As a result, the heater plate 4 of the heater 2 with a radiator plate generates heat and is radiated from the aluminum fins 5, so that the inside of the viewing container is heated to an appropriate temperature. On the other hand, since the heat is transferred from the aluminum fins 5 to the water storage / evaporation dish 3, the water in the water storage / evaporation dish 3 is evaporated and the inside of the viewing container is humidified to an appropriate humidity.

[0020]

[Effect of device]

 Since the heater with a radiator plate of the present invention has a structure in which the water storage evaporation dish is placed on the heater with a radiator plate, as in the conventional case where only the heater with a radiator plate is used, a particularly large viewing container It is possible to heat and humidify the inside of the viewing container without the need to use and without excessive power consumption.
