Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to let water droplets flow into a water tank without their inflow into a ventilation port and hence prevent operational troubles resulting from the generation of rust on a ventilation device. CONSTITUTION:A top board 11a of a ventilation passage 11 positioned above a ventilation port 5 is slanted, and a rib 7 is vertically installed along the slope of the top board 11a right above the ventilation port 5. The water supplied from a water supply tank 6 flows into a water tank 8 of an atomizing chamber 4 where the water is atomized by an atomizer 2. The air generated at a ventilation device 3 is supplied from the ventilation port 5 and discharged from a blowout port 9. Water droplets bedewed are partially adhered on a top board 12 of the ventilation passage 11. Since the top board 12 is inclined, however, the water droplets flow down along inclined board. A rib 7 placed on the upper part of the ventilation port 5 allows the droplets to flow down into the water tank 8 along the outer surface of the ventilation passage, thereby preventing them from flowing into the ventilation port 5.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a humidifier for humidifying a room.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventionally, this type of humidifier has been constructed as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4. That is, water [103
A water supply tank 101 that supplies water to this water tank 103 until the water level reaches a certain level is provided, and an atomization device 104 made of an ultrasonic vibrator is provided at the inner bottom of the water tank 103. An atomization chamber 102 is formed.

Further, an air outlet 10B is provided on the top surface of the atomization chamber 102. Further, a blower device 10 is provided outside the atomization chamber 102.
6 is provided, and an air outlet 105 is formed in the side wall of the atomization chamber 102.

In this configuration, water supplied from the water supply tank 101 flows into the water tank 103 of the atomization chamber 102, and the water supplied from the water tank 101 flows into the water tank 103 of the atomization chamber 102.
4 and is atomized by the air blowing bag @10e from the air blowing port 105.
The air was blown out from the air outlet 10B by the wind sent in by the air.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the mist atomized in the atomization chamber 102 hits the wall surface of the atomization chamber 102 and condenses, and the condensed water droplets flow from the top surface 105a of the air outlet 106. This has caused a problem in that it flows out of the atomization chamber 102, causing rust in the blower and causing malfunctions.

The present invention is intended to solve these problems, and aims to provide a humidifier in which the mist atomized in the atomization chamber does not condense and become water droplets that do not flow into the ventilation path.

Means for Solving the Problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention has an atomizing device and a blower device at the bottom, and has an atomizing chamber above the atomizing device,
A ventilation port for blowing air to the atomization chamber is opened on the upper side of the ventilation path that communicates with the ventilation device, and the top plate of the ventilation path is tilted, and the top plate is positioned directly above the ventilation port along the slope of the top plate. It has a configuration in which ribs are erected.

With this configuration, even if the mist that is atomized in the atomization chamber condenses and adheres as water droplets, it will be blocked by the ribs provided at the top of the ventilation opening, and will flow down the outside surface of the ventilation passage along the slope of the top plate. It will flow into the tank.

EXAMPLE Hereinafter, an example of the present invention will be explained based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

As shown in the figure, the main body 1 has a humidifying device 2 and a blower device 3 at the bottom, and has an atomizing chamber 4 above the humidifying device 2. A ventilation opening 5 for blowing air from the ventilation device 3 to the atomization chamber 4 is provided on the upper side surface of the ventilation passage 11. The top plate 11a of the ventilation passage 11 located above the air outlet 5 is inclined, and a lip is provided directly above the air outlet 5 along the slope of the top plate 11a.

In the above configuration, the water supplied from the water supply tank 6 flows into the water tank 8 of the atomization chamber 4, is atomized by the atomization device 2, and the wind generated by the air blower 3 is sent to the water outlet 6. It is supplied and blown out from the blow-off port 9. At this time, some of the condensed water droplets adhere to the top plate 12 of the ventilation path 11, but since the top plate 12 is inclined, they flow along it, and the ribs 7 on the top surface of the ventilation port 5 cause the water droplets to flow inside the ventilation port 6. It flows down into the water tank 8 along the outer surface of the ventilation passage 11 without flowing into the water tank 8.

Effects of the Invention As is clear from the description of the embodiments above, according to the present invention, the top plate of the ventilation passage is sloped and a rib is placed directly above the ventilation opening, thereby improving the atomization in the atomization chamber. Even if the mist hits the wall and condenses and flows as water droplets, the water droplets will not flow into the air outlet and will flow down into the water tank, which has the excellent effect of preventing the air blower from malfunctioning due to rust. This realizes a humidifier.
