  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(Embodiment 1)
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the main body 10 includes a suction port 1 and a blower port 2. A blower unit 4 for circulating the blown air is provided in a blower air passage 3 formed by communicating the suction port 1 and the blower port 2.

  Humidification means is provided in the main body 10, and the humidification means includes a water supply tank 12, a water tank 5 supplied from the water supply tank 12, and a humidification filter 6 provided in a state where the lower part is immersed in the water stored in the water tank 5. It has.

  The humidifying filter 6 is held in the blower air passage 3 while being fixed to the humidifying filter holder 7, and the humidifying filter 6 is rotated about the horizontal direction by rotating the humidifying filter holder 7 by the rotation motor 8. It is configured as follows.

  The blowing means 4 includes a scroll-shaped fan casing 4a having a suction port 4f and a discharge port 4g, a blowing fan 4b housed in the fan casing 4a, and a blowing motor 4c connected to the blowing fan 4b. Yes. The blower fan 4b is fixed to a rotary shaft 4d extending in the horizontal direction from the blower motor 4c, rotates the blower fan 4b by driving the blower motor 4c, sucks air from the suction port 4f, and discharges air from the discharge port 4g. Is.

  The humidifying filter 6 is mounted on a humidifying filter holder 7 having a horizontal axis so as to maintain a cylindrical shape, and the lower part of the humidified filter holder 7 is always immersed in the water stored in the water tank 5, while the horizontal axis of the humidifying filter holder 7 is centered Is rotatably supported. The humidifying filter 6 may be formed by connecting the outer peripheral surface and inner peripheral surface of the humidifying filter formed in a lattice pattern with fibers by a plurality of fibers. , The pressure loss is lower than that of the humidifying filter 6 formed of urethane foam, and as a result, more humidified air can be supplied into the room.

  By the said structure, when the humidification filter 6 rotates with the rotary motor 8, the whole surface of the humidification filter 6 will be in the state which got water | moisture content by passing the accumulated water. When the blown air circulated from the suction port 1 into the blower air passage 3 by the blower 4 passes through the humidifying filter 6, the blown air becomes in a high humidity state by vaporizing water adhering to the humidifying filter 6. The air is supplied to the room through the air outlet 2.

  The feature in this embodiment is the water droplet collection means 9. A detachable plate-shaped water droplet collecting means 9 is provided between the air outlet 2 and the air blowing means 4. The water droplet collecting means 9 is provided so as to intersect with the air blown from the air blowing means 4.

  That is, on the downstream side of the humidifying means, a detachable plate-shaped water droplet collecting means 9 is provided between the air outlet 2 and the air blowing means 4, and the water droplet collecting means 9 is blown out from the air blowing means 4. Since it is provided so as to intersect with the air, the water droplet collecting means 9 collects black water droplets, and the effect that the black water droplets can be prevented from blowing out of the main body from the outlet 2 is obtained. be able to.

  As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 has a long plate shape in the direction of the rotary shaft 4d extending in the horizontal direction from the blower motor 4c and extends in the vertical direction. In general, when a blower fan 4b, which is a sirocco fan, is used for the scroll-shaped fan casing 4a, air is mainly discharged from the discharge port 4g at an angle extending from the outer periphery of the blower fan 4b to contact the tongue 13 of the fan casing 4a. To be blown. That is, the air blown from the fan casing 4 a blows obliquely forward in the main body 10, and thus intersects the plate 9 a of the water droplet collecting means 9. According to this configuration, since the plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 is disposed at a position where the air blown in the oblique direction from the blower fan 4b intersects the air, the plate 9a is a black water droplet blown out by the blower fan 4b. It is easy to hold the water droplets, and black water droplets blown out from the air outlet 2 can be suppressed.

  Moreover, in order to make it easy to hold | maintain a black water droplet, the board 9a which is the water droplet collection means 9 is extended in the downward direction from the blower outlet 2, and is arrange | positioned to the inner side of the discharge port 4g of the fan casing 4a. The plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 is configured such that a part of the long plate shape enters the fan casing 4a. Thereby, the area of the plate 9a which is the water droplet collecting means 9 can be reduced, and it becomes possible to easily hold black water droplets. This is because when the blown air and black water droplets obtained by the blowing means 4 blow out in the oblique direction from the blower fan 4b, they diffuse radially in the oblique direction. The diffusing black water droplets become larger as the diffusion angle of the blast air emitted from the blower fan 4b and the black water droplets is separated from the blower fan 4b. Therefore, since the black water droplet cannot be held unless the area of the plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 is made large, the water droplet collecting device 9a is arranged by arranging the plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 at a closer distance to the blower fan 4b. Since the area of the plate 9a of the means 9 can be reduced and black water droplets can be easily retained, the dirt humidified air can be suppressed.

  Moreover, as shown in FIG. 5, the water droplet collection means 9 is provided in the blower outlet 2 so that attachment or detachment is possible. Specifically, the blower outlet 2 is provided in the top | upper surface in a main body, and has the grating | lattice part 11 opened to the up-down direction so that attachment or detachment is possible. Since the water droplet collecting means 9 has a configuration that is hooked on the upper end portion of the lattice portion 11, the water droplet collecting means 9 can be attached and detached, and as a result, there is an effect that the water drop collecting means 9 can be easily maintained. By disposing the claw 9b so that the plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 can be attached to and detached from the lattice portion 11 of the air outlet 2, the claw 9b can be hooked on the lattice portion and disposed at a predetermined position.

  Further, the plate 9a of the water droplet collecting means 9 has a long plate shape on the same surface of the lattice portion 11 of the air outlet 2, on the same direction and on the same line as the rotary shaft extending in the horizontal direction from the blower motor 4c. Thereby, the increase in ventilation resistance can be suppressed.

  The humidifier according to the present invention can supply high-quality humidified air to the room by suppressing dirt caused by water droplets, so that it can be used not only in a general household room, but also in a commercial humidifier, an air conditioner, etc. It is useful as a humidifier used.
