Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] This invention relates to a heating machine, and more particularly to a heating machine equipped with a humidifying water tray for humidification.

Conventionally, heaters have been equipped with a humidifying water tray for humidifying the indoor air to prevent it from drying out. When the water in this humidifying water tray runs out, water is replenished, but in the case of heaters that have a humidifying water tray stored inside the main unit and are generally installed in the corner of the room. The drawback was that it was difficult to replenish water in the dark. Therefore, this invention attempts to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages by providing an illumination light source for the humidifying water tray.

The present invention will be explained below with reference to the drawings.
Reference numeral 1 denotes a heater body, which includes a heating source 2, such as a heat exchanger with a built-in gas burner, and indoor air from an inlet 3 is heated by the heating source 2 and exits from an outlet 4. . At this time, the blower 5 serves to blow air. Reference numeral 6 denotes a humidifying water tray provided in the main body 1, and the humidifying water placed therein is evaporated by hot air from the heating source 2, thereby performing humidification.

7 is an illumination light source that illuminates the humidifying water tray 6 and is useful when replenishing water. 8 is a switch for the illumination light source 7, which is turned on and off by the water filling door 9; when the door 9 is opened during water filling, the switch 8 closes and the light source 7 lights up;
When the door 9 is closed, the switch 8 is opened and the light source 7 is turned off.

Further, 11 is a float switch, and when the humidifying water tray 6 becomes full of water, the switch 11 is turned off and the light source 7 is extinguished to notify that the water is full.

The heater of the present invention is constructed as described above, and warm air is obtained from the air outlet 4 by igniting the heating source 2, and at this time, the water in the humidifying water tray 6 evaporates and humidification is performed. If the water in the humidifying water tray 6 has run out, the humidifying water tray 6 is replenished with water, but at this time the illumination light source 7
The humidifying water tray 6 is illuminated to facilitate water filling, and the light source 7 lights up only when the door 9 is opened during water filling.
When the humidifying water tray 6 becomes full of water, the light source 7 goes out to notify that the water is full. In this example, water is poured directly into the humidifying water pan 6, so the water pouring door 9 is of the type located in the front of the humidifying water pan 6, but the water pouring door 9 is of a type that is placed in front of the humidifying water pan 6, but there is a type that pours water into a water socket and guides the water to the humidifying water pan 6. In this type, the light source 7 is controlled by a water inlet door housing a water inlet.

As described above, the heater of the present invention is designed so that when the water in the humidifying water tray 6 runs out and the water is replenished, it is illuminated by the light source 7, making it easy to perform the water filling operation, and when the water is full, the light source 7 is turned off. Since it notifies you when the water is full, it is possible to provide a heater that does not cause inconveniences such as spilling water to the outside.
