Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a humidifier that humidifies indoor air.
To provide a humidifier which can be used as a night light if necessary, has a simple structure and is easily assembled, is compact, has excellent aesthetics, and is inexpensive.

Conventional humidifiers (or humidifiers) are equipped with expensive ultrasonic generators, centrifuges, etc. for humidification, which poses a problem in terms of cost.

Furthermore, since it is equipped with an ultrasonic generator, a centrifugal separator, etc., the entire system becomes large and bulky.

The present invention does not require expensive equipment such as conventional ultrasonic generators, can humidify with an extremely simple structure, and is compact. I will explain based on this.

In the figure, 1 is a container mounted on a mounting frame 2, and a circular hole 3 is formed in the center of this container 1.

The container 1 is fitted with the mounting frame 2 at appropriate intervals around its lower edge.
It is fixed to the upper end with screw 4.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a light bulb such as an incandescent light bulb attached to the center of the mounting frame 2, and the glass portion 5a of the light bulb 5 projects upward from the hole 3 of the container 1.

Reference numeral 6 denotes a transparent cap made of heat-resistant glass having an n-shaped longitudinal section and whose lower end protrudes below the hole 3 of the container 1 and whose upper part is located above the container 1, and which covers the light bulb 5 from above. ing.

Moreover, the lower end of this cap 6 is formed with a step and a large diameter.
An annular packing 7 is fitted onto the outer peripheral surface of the large-diameter stepped portion 6a, and this packing 7' is brought into contact with the lower peripheral edge of the hole 3 of the container 1.

8 is a plate that is fixed to the lower end of the container 1 with screws 9 to receive the cap 6, and the lower end of the cap 6 is connected to the plate through an annular packing 10. 8, and by tightening the screws 9, the receiver pushes the plate 8 upward, and the receiver pushes the plate 8 and the cap 6 together.
At this time, the cap 6 is pushed upward, so the gasket 7 is sandwiched between the stepped portion 6a and the lower peripheral edge of the hole 3, This prevents the water contained inside from leaking downward through the three holes.

Reference numeral 11 is a translucent water-absorbing material cut from glass fiber or the like that covers the cap 6 on the container 1, and the lower half of the water-absorbing material 11 is an annular water absorbing material formed on the outside of the cap 6 and inside the container 1. It is immersed in the water 12 in the reservoir 1a, absorbs water, and sucks up the water.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a louver that covers the upper side of the container 1, and is made of transparent synthetic resin, and a hole 14 for steam discharge is formed in the center of the upper end of the louver 13.

The looper 13 is fixed to the container 1 with screws 15 at several points around the periphery of its flat end, and is configured to have a gap 16 between it and the upper end of the container 1.

A hood 17 has a circular hole 18 that matches the hole 14 at the center of the upper end, and has an opening window 19 in the side wall at a position above the container 1. It is rotatable around a vertical axis relative to the looper 13.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a blinder attached to the outside of the looper 13, and the inner surface of the blinder 20 has protrusions 22 that engage with holes 21 formed in the looper 13. It is formed.

Note that this blinder 20 is connected to the opening window 19 of the hood 17.
When the hood 17 is rotated and the aperture window 19 matches the blinder 20, the light from the bulb 5 passes through the aperture window 19.
When the opening window 19 is in a position where the blinder 20 is not located, that is, when the blinder 20 is located inside the part of the hood 17 where there is no opening window 19, the opening window 19 is opened and the light from the light bulb 5 is emitted. It leaks from the opening window 19.

Reference numeral 23 denotes a float that is movable up and down at a suitable position on the periphery of the looper 13, and when the water put into the container 1 through the holes 14 reaches the position of the float 23, the float 23 is moved upwardly and downwardly. By floating, it is able to determine the amount of water and shut off the water supply.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a hole formed in the center of the plate 8 so that the receptacle 25 for attaching the light bulb 5 passes through it;
There is a gap for heat dissipation between and the receptacle 25.

26 and 27 are gaps and holes for heat exhaust formed between the upper end of the mounting frame 2 and the lower end of the container 1 and in the bottom plate of the mounting frame 2, and 28 is a cord for supplying electricity to the light bulb 5.

Note that the cap 6 and the water absorbing material 11. The looper 13 is made of a translucent material, and the container 1, the mounting frame 2,
The hood 17 and the blinder 20 are made of a non-transparent synthetic resin material.

Therefore, when humidifying a room using this humidifier, by lighting the light bulb 5, water contained in the water absorbing material 11 can be evaporated through the cap 6 by the heat generated by the light bulb 5 to generate steam.

At this time, air enters into the container 1 covered by the looper 13 from the gap 16 between the looper 13 and the container 1, and this air flows through the holes 14 of the looper 13...
... can flow to the side, so that the generated steam exits into the room through the holes 14 and is dispersed, humidifying the air in the room.

In this way, the generated steam automatically flows out from the holes 14 due to the convection of air from the gap 16 to the holes 14, and therefore, there is no need for air supply means such as a motor, and the operation is quiet.

Incidentally, if a fragrance is put into the water 12 in the container 1 during this humidification, a fragrance can be emitted into the room during humidification.

Furthermore, if an insecticidal liquid is poured into the ice 12, this liquid can be released into the room as steam to kill mosquitoes and the like in the room.

Furthermore, it is also possible to put both the fragrance and the insecticidal liquid into the water 12.

Incidentally, the hood 17 is formed with an opening window 19, and by rotating the hood 17 and opening the opening window 19, the light from the light bulb 5 can be taken out into the room and used as a night light at the same time as a heater/humidifier. I can do it.

If it is too bright at this time, the size of the opening window 19 can be adjusted using the blinder 20.

The humidifying device of the present invention can be implemented as described above, and the structure is extremely simple compared to humidifying devices equipped with expensive ultrasonic generators, centrifugal separators, etc., so it can be provided at low cost.

In particular, in the present invention, by rotating the hood, the opening window opens and the light from the bulb is taken out into the room, allowing it to be used as a humidifier and a night light.

What's more, when you use it as a night light or when you don't use it, you only need to rotate the hood, so it's easy to operate, and it's more compact and aesthetically pleasing than the humidifier that uses an ultrasonic generator or the like. It will be excellent.
