SOLUTION: An evaporation dish 3 including a heater 2 is fixed in a body case 1 while a water receiving part 6 is provided to supply water at a fixed water level to the evaporation dish 3 through a link tube 5 from a water tank 4 set in the body case 1. The evaporation dish 3 is heated by the heater 2 to generate steam. The body case 1 is provided with an air purifier 9 comprising a fan 7 and a dust trapping part 8, the air sucked from outside is purified through the air purifier 9 to be guided to a steam guide 10 provided above the evaporation dish 3 and released at a steam release port 11 together with the steam. On the other hand, the purified air does not pass through the steam guide 10 and is guided to an air path 14 penetrated into a purified air release port 12 provided in the body case 1 to be released.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a humidifier of an electric heating type or the like which prevents the inside of a room from being dried due to the use of a heating appliance used in a general household.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional general humidifier is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the main body case 1 is provided with a steam tray 3 having a heater 2 in the main body case 1, a water tank 4, and a water receiving portion 6 for supplying a constant level of water to the steam tray 3 via a connecting pipe 5. The air sucked from the outside of the main body case 1 is introduced into the steam guide 10 above the steam tray 3 by the blower 7 installed inside,
The steam generated in the evaporation tray 3 is discharged to the outside of the main body case 1 to humidify the room.

On the other hand, when the blower 7 sucks air from the outside of the main body case 1, a filter 8 or the like is provided at the air intake,
A general structure is one that removes dust and the like in the sucked air and prevents the dust from adhering to the blower 7 and the main body case 1.

(See, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 63-175736 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 4-1334).

[0005]

The humidifier according to the above-mentioned conventional structure is intended for humidifying a room, and the filter 8 at the air intake port removes dust-removed air from the evaporation tray 3.
It is introduced into the steam guide 10 that is in communication with the steam guide, mixed with high temperature steam, cooled to around 70 ° C., and diffused into the room. , Does not require a large amount of air.

Therefore, in the conventional humidifier, it is impossible to remove dust by the filter provided and clean the entire room with the air generated thereby.

Further, since a small amount of air is forced to dissipate the vapor, the vapor diffusion effect to the entire room is small.

[0008]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and a water tank installed in a main body case while fixing an evaporation tray equipped with a heater in the main body case. More via the connecting pipe to the evaporation dish,
A water receiver that supplies water at a certain level is provided, the heater heats the evaporation tray to generate steam, and the main body case is equipped with an air purifier consisting of a blower and a dust trap, and the air sucked from the outside is aired. Cleans through a cleaning device and guides it to a steam guide installed above the evaporation tray, and discharges it along with steam from the steam discharge port, while cleaning the air passage communicating with the clean air discharge port provided in the main body case without passing through the steam guide. It was supposed to guide the air and emit clean air.

Further, a clean air discharge port is provided in the vicinity of the steam discharge port, and the steam flow is accelerated and diffused at the blowing velocity of the clean air.

[0010]

With the above-described structure of the present invention, not only can the room be humidified, but also the air can be cleaned.

Further, by providing the clean air discharge port adjacent to the vicinity of the steam discharge port, the steam discharged from the steam discharge port is accelerated and diffused by the blowing flow of the clean air, and is discharged and diffused to a distant place.

[0012]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, the same structure as the conventional one is omitted, and only different points will be described.

Reference numeral 9 denotes an air purifying device, which is composed of a blower 7 and a dust collecting portion 8 provided in front of the blower 7, and is arranged so that outside air can be introduced into a part of the main body case 1.

Reference numeral 10 denotes a vapor guide provided above the evaporation dish 3, which has an air inlet 10-1 opened to the side and communicated with a vapor outlet 11 which is opened upward.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a clean air discharge port provided on the upper part of the main body case 1, which is adjacent to the vicinity of the steam discharge port 11 and communicates with the air passage 14 of the blower 7 at the lower side.

Reference numeral 13 denotes an air inlet, which is constructed so that the outside air can be introduced into a part of the main body case 1 and is arranged on the air inlet side of the air cleaning device 9.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be described.

By the suction during the operation of the blower 7, the air that has entered through the air suction port 13 is cleaned by the dust collecting portion 8 of the air cleaning device 9, and part of it is sent to the steam guide 10 through the blower 7. The mixed gas is mixed with steam and is emitted from the steam outlet 11.

The clean air outlet 12 is replaced by the vapor outlet 1
By being provided in the vicinity of 1, the steam is accelerated by the blowout flow of the clean air and diffused far away.

[0021]

As described above, according to the present invention, as described above,
The evaporation tray equipped with a heater is fixed in the main body case, and the water tank installed in the main body case is provided with a water receiving part that supplies water at a certain level of water level through a connecting pipe to the evaporation tray, and evaporation is performed by the heater. The dish is heated to generate steam, and the main body case is equipped with an air purifier consisting of a blower and a dust collection unit.The air sucked from the outside is cleaned via the air purifier, and the steam guide is provided above the evaporation dish. While discharging from the steam discharge port together with the guided steam, it guides clean air to the air passage communicating with the clean air discharge port provided in the main body case without passing through the steam guide and discharges clean air to clean near the steam discharge port. By providing an air outlet and accelerating and diffusing the vapor flow at the blowing velocity of clean air, dust is removed by the equipped filter, and the air generated by It has become possible to achieve cleaning.

Further, the vapor diffusion effect to the entire room is increased without releasing the vapor with a small amount of air, so that not only the room is humidified but also the room air is cleaned and the vapor diffusion effect is obtained. be able to.
