Description

  The present invention is a vaporizing type humidifier that humidifies by passing air through a humidifying filter that is partially immersed in the water stored in the water tank in which the supplied water is stored. The present invention relates to a small humidifier suitable for personal use.

  Conventionally, in large spaces such as offices, multiple large humidifiers were placed in the dry season when the humidity was low to moderately humidify, but because of operational management such as installation space and water supply However, there were limits to the number of installations, and there were cases where the humidity level did not reach a comfortable level.

  Also, in a place where a resident is sitting in one place for a long time, such as a study room, the objective is achieved if a very limited space around the resident is in a comfortable humidity state.

  For this reason, there has been proposed a small humidifier that efficiently humidifies the user's surroundings to bring the user's surroundings into a comfortable humidity state (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  The humidifier described in Patent Document 1 uses a blower fan provided inside the casing that forms the outer shell to draw the air in the vicinity from the suction port provided in the center of one side surface that is the front surface of the casing. After sucking and humidifying the sucked air with the built-in humidification unit, it was sent to the annular channel formed between the inner case and the case concentrically inside the case, and passed through this channel The humidified air is blown out forward (in the direction in which the user is present) from an annular opening formed on the outer peripheral side (the shape surrounding the suction port) of the one side surface of the casing.

  With this configuration, humidified air is blown out from the annular opening formed on the outer peripheral side of one side surface of the housing, forming a so-called air curtain-like flow, and further, the humidifier at the suction port in the center By sucking forward air, the air curtain flow is curved so as to be drawn toward the center. As a result, the inside of the air curtain-like flow is a higher humidity region than the outside.

  In this way, the limited space in front of the humidifier can be intensively humidified.

  And the water supply container side water storage part 28 needs a water level of a predetermined depth in order to stably supply water to the humidification filter side water storage part 27, while the humidification filter side water storage part 27 is a humidification filter. It is sufficient that the water 13 absorbs water, vaporizes by passing through the humidifying filter 13, and the water necessary to obtain a predetermined amount of humidification is supplied without a shortage. Is formed higher than the bottom surface of the water supply container-side water storage section 28.

  Furthermore, the water storage container 11 is provided with an arc-shaped rib 29 on the outer peripheral part of the bottom surface in the water supply container side water storage part 28 with which the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical part 18b of the cap part 18 of the water supply container 12 abuts. The chord length of the rib 29 may be larger than the notch width of the cap portion 18.

  Next, the above-mentioned suction part 8 is explained in full detail (refer FIG. 3 and FIG. 4).

  The opening 2 at the lower rear surface of the main body case 3 is opened to a size that allows the humidifying unit 4 to be attached and detached while the humidifying filter 13 is erected, and the suction unit 8 has the humidifying unit 4 inserted in the opening 2. The overall shape is formed so as to cover a portion of the water storage container 11 other than the portion closed by the water supply container side water storage portion 28, and the suction opening 7 is provided on both sides of the water supply container 12 mounted. .

  In addition, the suction unit 8 includes a humidifying filter holding unit 30 that comes into contact with the upper surface of the humidifying filter 13 when the humidifying unit 4 is mounted. The humidifying filter holding unit 30 includes the humidifying filter 13 at the back of the humidifying filter holding unit 25. It is possible to confirm whether or not it has been inserted. If the insertion is incomplete, it can be pushed to the proper position. And when the humidification filter holding | suppressing part 30 is mounted | worn, since the humidification filter 13 is hold | maintained in a regular attitude | position, the inclination of the humidification filter 13 with which the lower part is hold | maintained can be prevented, and predetermined | prescribed humidification amount Can be maintained.

  And when the humidification unit 4 provided with the suction | inhalation part 8 is inserted in the main body case 3, the humidification unit 4 is hold | maintained in a regular position, The humidification unit holding | maintenance part 31 which can confirm the holding | maintenance, and this humidification unit holding | maintenance part 31 A guide portion 32 for guiding the humidifying unit 4 is provided on the bottom surface of the main body case 3.

  Further, when the humidifying unit 4 is mounted, a drain hole 33 is provided in the bottom surface portion of the main body case 3 below the humidifying unit 4 (see FIG. 2), and when the humidifying filter 13 is washed with water and cleaned. When the water adheres to the water storage container 11 and is attached to the main body case 3 as it is, the water flowing down to the bottom surface can be drained from the drain hole 33 and processed. Also, in the unlikely event that water leaks for some reason, the water can be drained from the drain hole 33 to prevent water from entering the charging part.

  The small humidifier configured as described above is often used on the desk of an office or study room and is often used by individual users in the room, and the water supply container 12 may be grasped with one hand. In addition, the main body case 3 has a size that suppresses the size of the flat area and has good portability so that the space on the desk is as small as possible.

  Due to the size, shape, and usage pattern, small humidifiers are more likely to be touched and tilted by the user compared to humidifiers of large equipment, and in some cases, they may fall. Because of its light weight and good portability, it can be easily carried and tilted when moving.

  In the humidifying unit 4, water is stored in the water storage container 11, but when the main body case 3 is tilted and the humidifying unit 4 is tilted, water leakage is suppressed as described below, and the water falls. Even in this case, the outflow of water can be suppressed.

  When the humidifying unit 4 is tilted so that the humidifying filter side water storage unit 27 is lower, the humidifying filter side water storage unit 27 has a bottom surface higher than the bottom surface of the water supply container side water storage unit 28, and the amount of stored water The amount of water is sufficient to permeate the humidifying filter 13 to generate a predetermined amount of humidification, and most of the water is impregnated in the humidifying filter 13, so that the amount of water in the water storage state is small.

  Furthermore, since the lower outer surface of the humidifying filter 13 is held in the humidified filter holding portion 25 of the cover 16 in a fitted state, even if the water storage container 11 is tilted, this slight water remains in the humidifying filter side opening 14. It does not penetrate in a short time.

  And even if this water permeates the humidifying filter side opening 14 side, the humidifying filter side thin film portion 21 which becomes thinner and becomes more flexible toward the inner side adheres to the outer side portion of the humidifying filter 13. As a result, water leakage to the outside is prevented.

  At the same time, the water in the water supply container-side water storage unit 28 flows into the humidifying filter-side water storage unit 27, and some of the water flows between the humidifying filter holding unit 25 and the humidifying filter-side thin film unit 21 and the outside of the humidifying filter 13. Even if it passes between, it stays in the clearance gap 34 formed between the outer side part of the humidification filter 13, and the humidification filter side thin part 23, and does not flow out outside in a short time.

  On the other hand, when the humidifying unit 4 is inclined in the direction of the water supply side reservoir 28, if the water supply container 12 is attached, the circular vertical surface 19b and the circular horizontal surface 19a of the water supply container 12 and the water supply side of the cover 16 are provided. By fitting and abutting with the thin wall portion 24 and the water supply container side thin film portion 22, it is possible to suppress the water in the water supply container side water storage portion 28 from leaking to the outside.

  Further, when the device is tilted due to a strong impact that causes the water supply container 12 to come off, the side of the water supply container that extends inwardly to the water supply container side opening 15 of the cover 16 located above the water supply container side water storage section 28 is provided. The thin film part 22 suppresses the momentum of the flow of water that is about to flow out from the water supply container side water storage part 28 through the water supply container side opening 15, and suppresses water leakage to the outside.

  In addition, when the device falls in the direction of the water supply container side water storage unit 28, the stored water flows out to the outside, but the water supply container side water storage unit 28 stores water of a predetermined depth. However, this predetermined depth is for obtaining a water level that can always supply water stably to the humidifying filter side water storage section 27 regardless of the installation state of the equipment, and as described above, the humidifying filter Since the amount of water stored in the side water storage unit 27 is small, the amount of water stored in the water supply container side water storage unit 28 is not large, and further, the momentum of water flowing out by the water supply container side thin film unit 22 can be suppressed, so that a large amount of water is widely stored on the desk. It is not important that the water flows out and wets the documents.

  When the small humidifier is operated for a long time, the inside of the water supply container 12 and the water storage container 11 becomes dirty and the dirt is attached to the humidifying filter 13, so that the humidifying unit 4 is taken out and cleaned. However, at the time of this cleaning, first, the water supply container 12 is removed from the main body case 3, and then the humidification unit 4 is removed.

  When carrying the removed humidification unit 4 to a place where it can be washed with water, the equipment is small and the humidification unit 4 can be easily carried with one hand. The effect of the suppression effect is also produced in the same manner as when the person touches and tilts.

  When the humidifying unit 4 is removed, the suction part 8 is removed together, so that the dust filter 10 provided in the suction opening 7 of the suction part 8 can be cleaned without forgetting.

  And the humidification filter 13 is removed from the water storage container 11, and each is cleaned.

  After cleaning, the humidification unit 4 is assembled, and the suction unit 8 is attached to the assembled humidification unit 4 so that the upper surface of the humidification filter 13 is firmly pressed by the humidification filter pressing unit 30.

  Even when the device falls down, the humidifying filter holding portion 30 can maintain the proper posture of the humidifying filter 13 and maintain the water leakage suppressing effect.

  When the humidifying unit 4 is inserted and held in the main body case 3, the humidifying unit 4 is guided to the humidifying unit holding portion 31 by the guide portion 32 provided on the bottom surface of the main body case 3, and is held by the main body case 3 without difficulty. The retention can be confirmed.

  In this way, the humidifying unit 4 is securely held at the regular position in the main body case 3 and the state is maintained, so that even if the device is subjected to an impact and tilts or falls, the water leakage suppressing effect can be maintained. In addition, the humidification performance can be maintained.

  When the humidifying unit 4 is inserted and attached to the main body case 3, the water supply container 12 is attached. At this time, the outer peripheral portion of the cylindrical portion 18 b of the cap portion 18 abuts on the rib 29 in the water supply container side water storage portion 28. Therefore, when the water supply container 12 is attached, the phenomenon that the water supply container side thin film part 22 that contacts the container part 17 is deformed and the container part 17 escapes from the normal holding position is eliminated. It will be held firmly by the engagement of the upper part.
