Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a humidifier that humidifies a room using an AC power supply.

[0002]

[Prior Art]

 Conventionally, as shown in FIG. 5, a humidifier of this type is provided with legs (c) and (c) on the lower surface of the bottom wall (b) of the humidifier main body (b) having a humidification tank (not shown) for vaporizing or atomizing water. At the same time, the power cord with the power plug is led out from the lower part of the side wall d of the humidifier main body a, and the pull-out part of this power cord is provided with a reinforcing body to prevent bending damage. The reinforced body was fixed by sandwiching it between the bottom wall and the side wall.

[0003]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 In the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the exposed portion G on the reinforcement body extends rearward from the outer surface of the side wall D. Therefore, when the humidifier is installed in front of a wall such as a room wall, the exposed portion on the reinforcement body is exposed. The air conditioner cannot be brought into close contact with the wall surface of the humidifier, and the installation space must be increased accordingly, or a gap is created between the wall and the humidifier. There was a problem such as spoiling the aesthetics of.

The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and by eliminating the protrusion of the reinforcing body that reinforces the drawer portion of the power cord, the humidifier can be installed substantially in close contact with the wall surface. The purpose is to do.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 In the present invention, the humidifier main body is provided with legs, and the side wall and the bottom wall of the humidifier main body are provided with a recess at the corner where the side surface and the lower surface are open, and the power cord lead-out portion is reinforced in the recess. It is a configuration that accommodates a reinforcing body.

[0006]

[Action]

 According to this structure, the reinforcing body that reinforces the drawn-out portion of the power cord does not extend outward from the outer wall of the humidifier, and the power cord does not extend between the humidifier body formed by the legs and the installation floor. Since it can be led out to the outside through the gap, the humidifier can be made to closely contact the wall surface.

[0007]

【Example】

 An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings of FIGS. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a humidifier body having a rectangular box shape. The humidifier body 1 is a lower case 1A and an upper case 1B detachably connected to an upper portion of the lower case 1A by external fitting. A plurality of legs 2 and 2 are attached to the lower portion of the lower case 1A, and the open top surface of the upper case 1B is covered with a removable lid 3.

Inside the humidifier body 1, there is a water supply cap 4 with an opening / closing valve at the bottom, and a water supply tank 5 made of glass that can be freely taken in and out of the humidifier body 1 and the water supply cap 4 are exposed. The water receiving tank 6, a humidifying tank 8 communicating with the water receiving tank 6 through a water pipe 7, a blower (not shown), and a lead-out tube 9 and a blow-out tube 10 that are sequentially connected to the humidifying tank 8. The steam generated in the humidifying tank 8 is sent to the guide tube 9 by the wind of the blower supplied into the humidifying tank 8, and is discharged into the room through the blow tube 10.

The upper end of the humidifying tank 8 is fixed to a partition plate 11 formed integrally with the water receiving tank 6 via a heat resistant packing 12, and the bottom of the humidifying tank 8 serves as a PTC heater. An electric heater 13 for heating is mounted, and the water receiving tank 6 is provided with a float switch 14 which detects a decrease in the water level in the water receiving tank 6 and stops energization of the electric heater 13.

In the lower case 1A, the peripheral side wall 15 and the bottom wall 17 having the air suction ports 16 and 16 at appropriate positions are integrally formed of synthetic resin, and the peripheral side wall 15 and the bottom wall 17 are A recess X having an open rear side surface and a lower surface of the humidifier body 1 is provided at a position slightly closer to the center of the intersecting corners, and a reinforcement body for reinforcing and holding the extraction portion of the power cord 18 with a power plug in the recess X. It accommodates 19 reinforcement exposed portions 19A. The reinforcing member 19 is made of a synthetic resin having elasticity, and is attached to the outer periphery of the lead-out portion of the power cord 18 to prevent bending damage of the lead-out portion. In this reinforcing body 19, the engaging portion 19B formed on the inner end side of the reinforcing exposed portion 19A is engaged with the vertically elongated notch 21 provided at the substantially center of the vertical surface portion 20 of the recess X. As a result, the lower case 1A is pierced and held.

Reference numeral 22 is a synthetic resin pressing plate screwed to a fixing portion 23 formed on the bottom wall 17 near the recess X with a screw 24. The pressing plate 22 has a predetermined width raised at one end side edge portion. By inserting the engaging portion 22A having the above-mentioned shape into the notch 21 and engaging with the engaging portion 19B of the reinforcing body 19, the reinforcing body 19 is engaged with the engaging portion 22A of the pressing plate 22 and the facing portion 20 of the recess X. It is sandwiched between and.

According to this embodiment, the lower case 1A of the humidifier body 1 is provided with the legs 2, and the rear side surface and the lower surface are opened at the corner where the peripheral side wall 15 and the bottom wall 17 of the lower case 1A intersect. By forming the recessed portion X formed therein and accommodating the reinforcing exposed portion 19A of the reinforcing body 19 which reinforces the drawn-out portion of the power cord 18 in the concave portion X, the reinforcing body 19 is stretched outward from the outer shell of the humidifier. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, the power cord 18 can be led out to the outside through the space between the lower case 1A formed by the legs 2 and the installation floor, as shown in FIG. When installed in front of a wall, the humidifier body 1 can be brought into close contact with the wall.

Although the steam humidifier has been described in the above embodiment, it may be an ultrasonic humidifier, and the recess X has a vertically long shape to accommodate the reinforcing body 19 downward. It is also possible.

[0014]

[Effect of the device]

 As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the humidifier body is provided with the legs, and the reinforcing body for reinforcing the pulling out portion of the power cord is housed in the recess X provided at the lower corner portion of the humidifier body. By preventing this reinforcement from protruding outward, the humidifier body can be installed in a close contact with the wall surface, reducing the installation space and improving the aesthetic appearance of the installation state. it can.
