Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a humidifier that humidifies indoor air.

The humidifying method of the humidifier according to the present invention is a method in which a conventionally known vaporization type and heating evaporation type are combined into an integrated humidifier.

The present invention relates to a water supply method for a humidifier using the above method, and instead of simply dividing water from a water tank into one water channel and sending it to a heating evaporation section and a vaporization section,
Advantageous effects can be obtained by sending water to the heating evaporation section and the vaporization section using a two-channel waterway completely separated from the water supply port of the water tank.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

1 is a main body, and 2 is a cover of the main body 1, which has a humidified air outlet.

3 is a cartridge type water tank with two water supply ports 3 on the bottom.
A, 3b are provided.

4 is an evaporator attached to the main body 1 (for example, made of aluminum die-casting), and the concave bottom surface has one end of a communication pipe 6 (made of silicone rubber, for example) that receives water supply;
Furthermore, a heating element 5 such as a sheathed heater is attached.

Reference numeral 7 denotes a water tank formed in the main body 1, to which the other end of the communication pipe 6 is attached, and receives water from the water supply port 3a of the water tank 3.

Reference numeral 8 denotes a container tank formed in the main body 1, which is completely independent from the water tank 7.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a container inserted into a container receiving tank 8, which is detachable from the main body 1, and includes a water inlet 10 that receives water from the water inlet 3b of the water tank 3, and a humidifier with a humidifying filter 12a wrapped around it. When installing the drum 12, its rotation center axis 12
A support arm 15.16 that supports d, a drum water tank 11 with a bottom shape that follows the lower part of the humidifying drum 12, and a container 9 that can be easily attached and detached from the main body 1 even when the humidifying drum 12 is placed on the support arm 15.16. Then hand 17 a, 17
It has b.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a gear motor for rotating the humidifying drum 12 about a horizontal axis at a low speed, and transmits a driving force to the rotation center axis 12d.

14 is a blower that sucks air into the humidifying drum 12.

In the humidifier according to the embodiment of the present invention, water supplied from the water supply port 3a of the two water supply ports of the water tank 3 enters the water receiving tank 7, passes through the communication pipe 6, and enters the evaporator 4. enter.

At this time, the water level reaches the mouth surface of the water supply port and is kept constant.

The evaporator 4 is heated by supplying electricity to the heating element 5, and eventually the water in the evaporator 4 is boiled and evaporated.

Further, water supplied from the other water supply port 3b enters the water socket 10 of the container 9, and simultaneously enters the drum water tank 11 to maintain a constant water level.

By rotating the humidifying drum 12 with the rotation of the gear motor 13, the humidifying filters 12a at the lower part of the humidifying drum 12 successively pass below the water level and wet it.

Next, the air blower 14 sucks air from the outside of the main body 1 and blows it into the humidifying drum 12, evaporating the water that adheres when passing through the humidifying filter 12a to generate low-temperature humid air.

Here, the high temperature steam generated from the evaporator 4 and the humidifying drum 1
The low temperature humid air generated from 2 is mixed and discharged from the outlet of the cover 2.

In addition to this humidifying operation, cleaning the humidifying drum 12 and the container 9, especially the humidifying drum 12 and the container 9,
2 attached to the container 9, the container E can be removed from the main body 1 by holding the handles 17a and 17b.

The effect of this invention is that when water is supplied from one water tank to each of the vaporization section and heating evaporation section, water is supplied to these two independent water systems. Even if the water temperature in the water tank rises due to heat conduction and the backflow of boiling water into the water tank through the communication pipe, there is no thermal effect on the humidifying filter or drum in the evaporation section, so expensive heat-resistant materials are used. does not have to be used for this.

When humidifying for a long time, impurities in the water increase with humidification in the vaporization section, and the remaining water becomes easily putrefied, or ice with increased concentration of impurities in the vaporization section does not flow into the evaporator and evaporates. The amount of skeleton generated in the vessel does not increase more than necessary.

Furthermore, since spoiled water is not allowed to flow into the evaporator, there is less occurrence of strange odors due to boiling.

Additionally, by installing a removable container in the vaporization section along with the humidifying drum, cleaning of the vaporization section has become easier.

In other words, if the water tank and humidifying drum are attached to the main unit,
When cleaning, the entire unit must be carried to a water disposal site, but by using a container that can be easily removed from the unit, cleaning can be done easily by grasping the handle, and the container and humidifying drum can be washed directly with water. is also now possible.
