JPS586180Y2 - Structure of humidifier/dehumidifier water tank - Google Patents

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to the structure of a humidifying water tank placed in a humidifying/dehumidifying machine in which a humidifier is incorporated into the dehumidifying machine.

Generally, Japan has high humidity from the rainy season to the summer.
Humidity is low in winter.

Because heating is performed during these times, the relative humidity in the room further decreases.

Recently, it has become increasingly common to use a dehumidifier in the former case and a humidifier in the latter case to control humidity.

For this reason, a dehumidifier and a humidifier had to be purchased and used separately.

However, these alone have a short period of use, are uneconomical, and are complicated to manage.

In response to the demands of the times, humidifiers and dehumidifiers that incorporate an ultrasonic humidifying mechanism into a single housing that also includes a dehumidifying mechanism have begun to be manufactured.

The structure of such a humidifying/dehumidifying machine is roughly as shown in Fig. 1.
1 is a main body, and inside the main body 1, a dehumidification mechanism section 2 and a humidification mechanism section 3 are arranged.

The dehumidifier section 2 includes a compressor 10-21, a condenser 6, a capillary tube (not shown), and an evaporator 4, forming a well-known refrigeration cycle. While the enclosed refrigerant circulates within the cycle, indoor air is sucked and discharged by the blower 8, thereby dehumidifying the room.

On the other hand, the humidification mechanism includes an ultrasonic humidification unit 14 and a water tank 15.
, a transformer 16 is provided, and when the selector switch 9 is switched to humidification and the operation switch 13 is closed, voltage is applied to the ultrasonic humidification unit 14 via the transformer 16, the vibrator 8 is activated, and the inside of the water tank 15 is The water is atomized and, together with the air taken in through the intake duct 17, passes through the humidifying duct 18 and exits into the room from the mist outlet 19, adding humidity to the room.

The present invention relates to the structure of the aquarium used in the humidifier of the above-mentioned structure.In conventional humidifiers, when setting or removing the aquarium, the direction of movement of the container is vertical, and the outer circumference of the aquarium itself is The wall was raised above the water level to prevent water from spilling when moving the humidifier, but since the humidifier/dehumidifier of this invention is moved laterally from the side, and the space is limited, You can't make the walls higher.

Furthermore, if the humidifying unit is made into a single assembled component, it will be easier to assemble during mass production and easier to service when repairing or replacing. Since electrical equipment was installed at the bottom of the water tank and near it, there was a risk that spilled water could cause insulation breakdown of the electrical equipment.

The present invention aims to provide a water tank for a humidifier/dehumidifier that ensures safety within these constraints and has good operability.

That is, the present invention provides a humidifying water tank for a humidifier/dehumidifier, in which the water tank includes a water tank portion and an outer tank portion surrounded by an outer peripheral wall.
A water drip prevention wall is provided outside the outer circumferential wall and the bottom thereof is connected to the outer circumferential wall, and a waterproof wall is formed at the bottom of the aquarium.

Next, one embodiment of the present invention will be described using FIG. 2.

21 is an aquarium body, 22 is an outer tank portion, and is surrounded by an outer peripheral wall 23.

The outer peripheral wall 23 is high on the transformer 29 side and low on the opposite side 30, and is arranged so that the end of the water tank 21 slightly protrudes outside the machine.

Reference numeral 24 denotes a wall for preventing water from dripping, and the outer peripheral wall 23 and the bottom part 25 are connected to form a tank.

26 is a waterproof wall formed at the bottom of the water tank, and 27 is an ultrasonic oscillation circuit board equipped with a vibrator 28, which is disposed at the bottom of the water tank 21.

29 is a transformer, and 31 is a base of the humidifier/dehumidifier.

As described above, the present invention provides a humidifying water tank for a humidifier/dehumidifier, in which the water tank has an outer tank part surrounded by a water tank part and an outer peripheral wall, and a hydraulic prevention wall is provided on the outside of the outer peripheral wall, and at the bottom of the water tank. Since we have built a waterproof wall, even if drops of dehumidified water fall, or even if the water in the tank is splashed out of the tank due to some kind of impact, it will enter the outer tank surrounded by the outer peripheral wall, so it will not spill outside the tank. Do not let electrical items get wet.

Even if the outer tank is full of water, the outer peripheral wall on the electrical equipment side is high and the opposite side is low, and the water tank end protrudes outside the machine, so water will leak out of the machine and wet the electrical equipment, causing damage. There's nothing to do.

In addition, we have installed a wall to prevent water from splashing due to the large shaking of the water surface due to transportation, etc., and we have installed a tank by connecting the outer peripheral wall and the bottom, so even if water spills over the outer peripheral wall, it will not drain. The water collects in the tank with a dust prevention wall, so it does not get the transformer etc. wet.

In addition, we have installed a waterproof wall at the bottom of the tank, so even if some water rolls over the outside wall of the tank and reaches the bottom due to the fluctuation of the water surface, the waterproof wall will prevent it from getting the electrical components at the bottom of the tank wet. do not have.

As described above, it is possible to solve the difficult problem of arranging a water tank and electrical components in a limited space, and to provide a water tank for a humidifier/dehumidifier that is completely reliable.
