Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to an improvement of a Karo humidifier which is equipped with an intake port for taking in warm air from a hot air heater and converts the warm air taken in from the intake port into humid air.

Generally, when heating equipment is used indoors, the room dries out, so conventional heating equipment has been equipped with a humidification mechanism such as evaporative calm, or humidifiers such as ultrasonic humidifiers and centrifugal force humidifiers have been used to dry the room. It's humidifying.

The above-mentioned ultrasonic 7JO humidifiers, centrifugal force humidifiers, etc. have come to be used independently, but recently, an improved version of these humidifiers uses the heat of a hot air heater to generate Calorie humidity. A method has been proposed that aims to increase the amount of .

The present invention aims to improve the humidifier that uses the heat of the hot air heater to increase the amount of humidification, and provides a humidifier that can be used alone or in combination with the hot air heater. It is something to do.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 4, which show one embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 1 is a front sectional view of the humidifier according to the present invention, and Figure 2 is the
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the humidifier used in combination with a warm air heater, and FIG. 4 is an electric circuit diagram of the open force humidifier.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 denotes a humidifier body, and an air inlet 2 is formed in the bottom surface of the humidifier body.

A semiconductor heater 3 (barium titanate-based semiconductor ceramic heating element) is provided on the inner wall side of the air intake port 2, and is installed so as to heat the indoor air passing therethrough.

Reference numeral 4 denotes a changeover switch attached to the bottom of the power humidifier main body 1, which is inserted in series with the semiconductor heater 3 as shown in FIG. There is.

In addition, when the mounting leg 5 is attached to the humidifier main body 1 as shown in FIG. 1 and the switch 4 is used under normal conditions, the semiconductor heater 3 is energized, and when the mounting leg 5 is attached to the humidifier body 1 as shown in FIG. 5 is removed and the humidifier main body 1 is installed on the hot air heater A, the actuator 6 comes into contact with the top surface of the hot air heater A to stop energization.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a filter made of a cylindrical polyurethane foam having excellent hydrophilicity and capillarity, and is mounted on a drum 9 rotated by a motor 8.

Further, this filter T rotates while always partially immersing it in the water receiving tray 10.

Reference numeral 11 denotes a water tank that supplies water to the water tray 10, and is configured to supply water to the water tray 10 via a water supply valve 12.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a discharge port through which the air sucked in from the air intake port 2 by a fan 15 driven by a fan motor 14 passes through the filter I, is moistened, and then is discharged from there. ing.

Further, in FIG. 4, 16 is an AC power supply, 17 is a main switch, and 3, 4, 8, and 14 are a semiconductor heater, a changeover switch, a filter drum, a drive motor, and a fan motor, respectively, as described above.

Next, the usage buttons and operations of this humidifier will be explained.

First, when the humidifier is used alone, it is used with the mounting legs 5 attached to the humidifier main body 1 as shown in FIG.

In this state, the changeover switch 4 is on.

Therefore, when the main switch 17 is turned on in this state, the filter 7 mounted on the drum 9 is rotated by the motor 8, and at the same time, the semiconductor heater 3 is also energized.

At this time, the filter 7 rotates with a part of it immersed in the water pan 9, and the fan 15 sucks air into the rotating filter 1 from the air intake port 2, and then passes through the semiconductor heater 3 to warm it up. The blown air hits this surface and vaporizes the moisture.

Then, it forcibly hits this filter 7 to vaporize the moisture,
The humidified air is discharged into the room from the discharge port 13 to humidify the room.

In general, when an evaporative humidifier is operated without heating normal indoor air, the calorific humidity is approximately 100 to 150 Cc/I.
(However, if hot air is passed through the semiconductor heater 3, the amount of humidification will be about 300 to 400"7'H, which is about twice as much.

Next, the case where this force I humidity is used in combination with the hot air heater A will be explained.

In this case, remove the mounting legs 5 from the Karo humidifier main body 1, and connect the air intake port 2 of the Karo humidifier main body 1 and the hot air outlet of the hot air heater A side to the hot air heater A as shown in Fig. 3. The blade opening 18 is installed so that it communicates with the blade opening 18.

After installing the humidifier, when the humidifier and hot air heater A are operated, the warm air that has passed through the heat exchanger 19 on the hot air heater A side is sent to the opening 18 and the air intake by the fan 15 on the humidifier side. Entrance 2
The water is sucked into the humidifier through the filter I, evaporates the moisture in the filter 7, and is moistened and discharged from the discharge port 13.

When humidifying using warm air from a hot air heater in this way, the amount of humidification when inhaling normal air and humidifying is approximately 100 to 1
Humidification amount approximately 400 ~ more than twice that of 50 CC/H
500 CC/H can be obtained.

As described above, the present invention is a humidifier that is equipped with an intake port for taking in warm air from a hot air heater and uses the warm air taken in from the intake port as humidified air, and a heater for heating humid air is provided. In addition, the heater is switched on and off by a changeover switch that is switched in conjunction with the attachment and detachment of the heater from the hot air heater, so the 1-force humidifier can be used alone or in combination with the hot air heater A humidifier that can be used and is highly versatile can be obtained.

Furthermore, the amount of humidity at the blade opening is greatly increased compared to conventional evaporative humidifiers, and it is also easier to use.
