Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention relates to a pilot lamp that displays the operating status of a humidifier, and projects light onto the humidification tank.
An object of the present invention is to obtain a humidifier that facilitates visual confirmation.

As shown in Fig. 3, a conventional humidifier has a water tank equipped with an air blower and an ultrasonic vibrator inside the humidifier main body 12 in which an atomization chamber 10 and a replenishment tank 11 for replenishing water are placed. The water in the water tank is atomized by a sonic vibrator, and the water is discharged outside the machine from a discharge port 13 provided in the atomization chamber 10, thereby performing humidification. and,
When the water level in the aquarium falls below a certain level, the replenishment tank 11
The humidifier body 12 is provided with an operation control switch 14 and a pilot lamp 15 to indicate when the humidifier is in operation. However, the pilot lamp 15 was small and it was difficult to tell whether it was lit unless you looked closely. Further, this pilot lamp 15 could only function as a simple driving indication.

The present invention eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional example described above.
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

1 is a humidifier main body that houses an ultrasonic generator 4 of an ultrasonic vibrator 3 provided at the bottom of a water tank 2 and a blower 5; 6 is a case for an atomization chamber that is placed over the water tank 2 to form an atomization chamber; A discharge port 7 for discharging atomized airflow is provided at the top. Reference numeral 8 denotes a replenishment tank that automatically replenishes water to the aquarium 2 when the water level in the aquarium 2 falls below a predetermined water level, and is made of transparent resin or the like. This supply tank 8 is attached to the upper part of the main body 1, and the light from the lamp 9 provided inside the main body 1
The light is projected through a transparent portion 1a provided on the surface of the main body 1 facing the replenishment tank 8. This transparent part 1a
The structure may be any structure as long as it allows light to pass therethrough, for example, an opening may be formed or the portion may be formed of transparent resin or the like. Further, the position of the light-transmitting portion 1a may be a location facing the replenishment tank 8 that can project the light from the lamp 9 onto the replenishment tank 8.

In the above configuration, when the humidifier is in operation, the lamp 9
lights up, and the light projected from the lamp 9 is irradiated from below the supply tank 8, and the transparent supply tank 8
shines brightly under the light, indicating that the humidifier is operating.

As described above, according to the present invention, a lamp is provided that lights up when the humidifier is in operation, and the light from this lamp is projected onto a water replenishment tank made of a transparent or translucent material, so that the replenishment tank can be used as a display means. As a result, the large capacity replenishment tank shines like a light, so compared to a humidifier with an indicator lamp on one side, where operation can only be confirmed from one direction, the large display makes it easier to check operation. Not only is it easy to see, it can be easily seen from any direction that the humidifier is in operation, and there is no need to provide a special color display means for the lamp, resulting in a simple configuration.

It also makes it easier to check the water level in the supply tank.
This brings about effects such as being able to efficiently operate a humidifier without having to replenish water at any time.
