Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To provide a safety-focused humidifier that does not cause burns. [Structure] A water tank 1 equipped with a heater 2 and a lid 3 covering the water tank 1 are closed with a packing 9 so as to be liquid-tight, and an air supply pipe 4 for sending air from a blower 7 and vapor discharge The pipe 5 is passed through and the wind from the air supply pipe 4 is blown onto the hot water heated by the heater 2 to lower the temperature of this hot water and the temperature of the steam rising from the hot water, and steam of this low temperature is steamed. It is discharged to the discharge pipe 5 or the outside.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 This invention relates to a humidifier that emphasizes safety.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 As a conventional humidifier, for example, as disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 58-13231, a heater heats water in a water tank, and vaporized by this is blown out from an outlet as it is for humidification. There is.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 That is, as shown in FIG. 4, a conventional humidifier of this type has a structure in which a water tank b having a heater a on the bottom is simply covered with a cover d having a steam outlet c on the upper surface. The water in the water tank reached a high temperature near 100 ° C in the boiling state, and the steam temperature at the outlet was also very high. In addition, the water tank and the cover were not sealed, and the shape of the air outlet did not take spillage into consideration. Therefore, if there is contact with steam or hot water in the aquarium, or if hot water flows out when the equipment falls or is carried, there is a risk of causing burns and the like, and there is a drawback in terms of safety.

In view of the above situation, the present invention solves the above problems by providing a good seal with a lid structure in which the temperature of the water in the aquarium is lowered by blowing air and hot water does not flow out even if the water falls over. It is intended to be provided.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is directed to a water tank, a lid that liquid-tightly covers the water tank via a packing, a heater that heats water in the water tank, a blower provided outside the water tank, and a fan that penetrates the water tank lid. And a steam discharge pipe that penetrates the lid of the water tank and connects the upper space inside the water tank and the outside of the water tank.

[0006]

[Action]

 In the humidifier configured as described above, a fan (blower) blows air from the inside of the main body to one of the two nozzles (air pipe and steam exhaust pipe) protruding above the water surface of the water tank with the lid. By applying the wind to the water surface, the temperature of the boiling water in the aquarium can be lowered. In addition, the air from the fan goes out from the other nozzle together with the steam generated by the heater, which lowers the blowout temperature. Also, since the lid of the water tank is closed by holding the packing to make it liquid-tight, there is enough room for hot water to be collected when the water tank is carried or falls, and hot water does not flow out. Therefore, it becomes a safe heater-type humidifier without the risk of burns.

[0007]

【Example】

 The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings of the embodiments.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a water tank which serves as a main body of a humidifier. The air supply pipe 4 is inserted and hung down, and the vapor discharge pipe 5 having a nozzle structure is inserted and hung down on the other side of the lid 3. A blower 7 is arranged at the base of the air supply pipe 4 via a joint duct 6. The lid 3 has a liquid-tight structure in which a packing 9 is interposed between the edge of the water tank 1 and the machine body 8 to form a double block.

To explain this action, first, the fixed amount of water in the water tank 1 is heated by the heater 2 located at the bottom to boil to generate steam.

In this case, an air supply pipe 4 hanging down from above faces the hot water surface A, and the air sent from the blower 7 is blown from the air supply pipe 4, so that the temperature of the boiling water is lowered. You can Since the wind from the air supply pipe 4 goes out from the steam discharge pipe 5 together with the steam rising inside, the blown steam temperature can be lowered to about 45 to 50 ° C.

The volume of the water tank is such that the water level (water surface A) in the water tank 1 has fallen (sideways) as shown in FIG. Use a container with a margin (bath pool) that is below the edge. Therefore, hot water does not flow out even if the water tank 1 falls.

[0012]

[Effect of the device]

 As described above, in the humidifier of the present invention, the nozzle-shaped blower pipe and the steam discharge pipe are penetrated into the water tank so that the hot water boiled by the heater is blown to lower the temperature of the hot water. Since the temperature of hot water and steam is lowered and the temperature of blown steam is lowered, the burn of steam at the outlet is not caused. Further, since the lid covering the water tank is sealed with a liquid tight seal, and the water tank has an allowance for the pool of hot water, the hot water can be prevented from flowing out when the humidifier falls or is carried. From this point as well, it is a safe humidifier without causing burns.
