【Example】

(Embodiment 1) As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a blower 4 having a suction port 1 and a suction port 2 and having a fan motor 3 provided therein.
And a water supply unit 6 formed by a container for supplying water so as to keep the water level of the water tank 5 constant. A main body 7 is formed, and locking portions 9 are provided above and below a filter mounting portion 8 provided in the suction port 1. The humidifying filter 10 attached to the filter attachment portion 8 is made of a mixture of synthetic fibers and pulp or a filter material made of cotton yarn long-fiber pulp.
A filter material 11 is formed by bonding a hydrophilic material of about 50 mm / 10 minutes into a honeycomb shape at the time of extension so that both ends of the filter portion 11 have rigidity with a water-resistant paper frame or the like. A mounting frame 12 formed and locked to a locking portion 9 formed on a filter mounting portion 8 of the main body 7 is attached and provided.

A cover 14 having an air inlet 13 on the water supply section 6 and having an opening communicating with the suction port 1 of the blower section 4 is provided.

In the above configuration, when the humidifying filter 10 is first attached to the main body 7, the humidifying filter 10
The mounting frame 12 is formed on the filter mounting portion 8 so that the lower portion is submerged in the water surface 15 of the water tank 5.
Can be easily attached.
Also, it can be easily removed.

Next, water in the water tank 5 is sucked up to the entire surface of the filter section 11 by capillary action, and when the fan motor 3 is operated in this state, the air inlet 13 of the cover 14 is opened.
When more inhaled air passes through the filter section 11,
The moisture contained in the filter unit 11 is vaporized, and the air containing the moisture is discharged from the discharge port 2 to perform humidification.

When the humidification proceeds and the water level in the water tank 5 decreases, water is supplied from the water supply unit 6 into the water tank 5, and the water tank 5 can always maintain a constant water level.

When the humidifying filter 10 is stored, the humidifying filter 10 can be folded and downsized, and the storage location can be reduced.

Since the filter section 11 is made of a mixture of synthetic fiber and pulp, and the mounting frame 12 is also made of paper, the incineration property of the used humidifying filter 10 is improved and the conventional humidifying filter 10 is improved. The generation of harmful gas is extremely small as compared with the humidification filter, and incineration can be performed without polluting the environment.

(Embodiment 2) As shown in FIG. 5, a humidifying filter 10A is treated with an antibacterial agent and a fungicide.

With the above structure, the humidifying filter 10A is treated with an antibacterial agent and a fungicide, so that it is possible to prevent the generation of bacteria and mold from the water contained in the humidifying filter 10A.

[0022]

As is clear from the above embodiments, since the humidifying filter is formed of a stretched honeycomb-shaped hydrophilic material, the humidifying filter is stored by compressing and reducing the size during storage and transportation. It is possible to provide an evaporative humidifier that has a small space, can be stretched at the time of installing the main body, can be used at a predetermined position, and can be incinerated without polluting the environment at the time of disposal.

Further, since the humidifying filter is treated with an antibacterial agent and a fungicide, it is possible to provide a vaporizing humidifier having an effect of preventing the occurrence of bacteria and mold.

Further, since the humidifying filter is mounted on the mounting frames provided at both ends of the humidifying filter, the humidifying filter can be securely held in the deployed state, and the humidifying filter can be easily removed from the main body by simply removing the mounting frame. Can be provided.

Further, since it is constituted by the water supply section, the water tank and the blower section and the humidifying filter, it is possible to provide an evaporative humidifier having an effect of simplifying the structure and reducing the production cost.
