  Next, the operation of the humidifier will be described.

  When the power is turned on and the humidifier is operated, the air blowing means 8 operates, and the room air is sucked from the upper suction port 15 and the lower suction port 16.

  The room air sucked from the lower suction port 16 of the case back surface 1 c forming the space a on one side is sucked into the lower space c on the rear side of the humidifying filter 12.

  In addition, the indoor air sucked from the upper suction port 15 of the case back surface 1 c forming the one side space a reaches the front communication port 19 and the side communication port 20 from the suction air passage 18.

  The room air from the front communication port 19 flows into the lower space c on the front side of the humidifying filter 12. Further, the room air from the side communication port 20 flows into the lower space c on one side of the humidifying filter 12.

  At this time, since the air guide tube 9 is provided with an arc-shaped outer peripheral surface in the central portion of the upper space d, the ventilation flow in the suction air passage 18 is arc-shaped without being biased to one side in the suction air passage 18. It becomes a smooth flow along the outer peripheral surface. Furthermore, since the air guide tube 9 has a shape that expands downward, the air flow in the suction air passage 18 is guided so as to smoothly flow through the front communication port 19 and the side communication port 20.

  The room air flows into the space b on the other side from the upper suction port 15 and the lower suction port 16 on the case back surface 1c that forms the space b on the other side. The room air flowing into the space b on the other side flows into the lower space c on the other side of the humidifying filter 12.

  And the indoor air which flowed into the lower space c of the perimeter of the humidification filter 12 is sucked into the inner space 21 of the frame-shaped humidification filter 12. At this time, the humidifying filter 12 sucks air from the entire periphery, and the upper end opening is in contact with the partition portion 3, so that the suction surface of the humidifying filter 12 has a negative pressure due to the intake of the air blowing means 8 over the entire periphery. Is applied almost evenly, and the ventilation characteristics of the humidifying filter 12 are improved.

  Then, the air humidified by passing through the suction surface of the humidifying filter 12 and sucked into the inner space 21 is blown out from the outlet 10 into the room by the blowing means 8.

  As described above, in the humidifying device of the present embodiment, the suction port 17 is formed in the back surface of the main body case 1 having an elliptical shape in plan view and close to the side end, so that it has a curved shape and is wider than the plane. Open. In addition to the lower suction port 16 having an opening facing the lower space c, the suction port 17 forms an upper suction port 15 that communicates with the lower space c from the front and the side. Widely formed.

  And since the air which flowed in from the four directions of the front and rear, right and left is sucked into the humidification filter 12 as mentioned above, a ventilation characteristic becomes favorable and vaporization efficiency improves. Moreover, since the indoor air from these four directions is sucked and flows in from the suction port 17 provided only on the back side of the main body case 1, noise transmitted to the user located on the front side of the main body case 1 is reduced. In addition, since the suction port 17 does not enter the eyes of the user from the front side of the main body case 1, the appearance of the product is improved.

  In addition, although the humidification filter 12 used by this Embodiment was made into the frame shape which has arrange | positioned the filter material to the perimeter, a part of frame shape may be obstruct | occluded with members other than a filter material.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the surface area of the filter material 30 is increased by using the filter material 30 that is larger than the dimension between the first holding material 40 and the second holding material 50. And the amount of humidification can be increased.

  According to the present embodiment, by using the filter material 30 larger than the dimension between the first holding material 40 and the second holding material 50, the surface area of the filter material 30 can be increased, and humidification is performed. The amount can be increased.

  According to the present embodiment, the surface direction of the filter material 30 is regulated by the first column portion 42out and the second column portion 42in, and the second holding material 50, which is the filter cover, is connected to the other end of the filter material 30. Since the filter member 30 is disposed between the first holding member 40 and the second holding member 50 by holding the filter, the dimension between the first holding member 40 and the second holding member 50 is larger. The large filter material 30 can be easily mounted.

  According to the present embodiment, the filter material 30 can be easily mounted, the surface of the filter material 30 can be appropriately curved, and the filter material 30 can be curved without increasing pressure loss due to the curvature of the filter material 30. The surface area can be increased.

  According to the present embodiment, a space is also formed between the first filter face 31 and the second filter face 32 by being pressed by the second holding member 50 that is a filter cover, and pressure loss The surface area of the filter material 30 can be increased without increasing the value.

  The humidifying device according to the present invention has the effect that the vaporization efficiency of the humidifying filter can be improved by ventilating from the front and rear directions of the humidifying filter without impairing the appearance of the product while suppressing an increase in noise. It is useful as a humidifier placed in the room.
