Abstract

PURPOSE:To avoid idle rotation of a moistening machine due to the elongation of a filter that is provided across two rollers by engaging projections on a driving roller with matching holes provided on an elastic band installed at a suitable place in the direction of the width of the filter in order to transmit rotational force always to the filter and to obtain an amount of stable moistening. CONSTITUTION:A water tank 1 provided at the lower section of an outer frame 2 which constitutes a main body has in its inside a following roller 3 which freely rotates. A driving roller 2 provided at the central portion of the outer frame 2 has its one end supported rotatably and its other end connected to a motor 5 for the roller. A filter 6 is loaded in endless fashion between the following roller 3 and the driving roller 4, and it is constituted so that it will rotate with the rotation of the drive motor 5. At a suitable place in the direction of the width of the filter 6 an elastic band 8 with matching holes around its whole periphery is provided, and the matching holes 7 fit the projections 9 provided on the driving roller 4, so that the driving force of the driving roller 4 is always transmitted to the filter. With this arrangement there is no idle rotation of the filter 6, so that an amount of stable moistening can be obtained with smooth rotation.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a humidifier that humidifies air by blowing air through a filter that passes through an aquarium.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional humidifiers of this type have structures as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.

In the figure, 21 is an outer frame constituting the main body, and the outer frame 21
is provided with an air inlet 22 and an air outlet 23 after humidification. Inside the outer frame 21, the filter 24 forms an endless bell between the drive roller 25 and the driven roller 26! The filter 24 passes through a water tank 28 and absorbs water by rotation of a driving roller motor 27. The wind 30 generated by the 77 air filter 29 passes through the filter 24 and is humidified, and the air is released from the air outlet 23.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such a conventional configuration, the filter 24 increases in weight due to water absorption, and expands and lengthens.
The tension between the rollers 25 and 26 decreases, causing the drive roller 25 to spin idly, so the filter 24 may not rotate. In this case, the filter 24 may not be able to perform sufficient humidification, and the humidification of the air will also decrease, resulting in less humidification. There was a problem that the specified capabilities of the machine were not demonstrated.

The present invention solves these problems, and aims to provide a humidifier that can always perform stable humidification by applying constant W power to the filter even if the filter itself expands and contracts. It is.

Means for solving the problem In order to solve this problem, the present invention provides 1. A motor for a driving roller, a driven roller, a filter mounted like an endless belt between the driving roller and the driven roller, a water tank in which one end of the filter is immersed, and a fan that sends air to the filter. , an elastic band having a fitting opening all around the entire circumference is attached to both ends of the filter,
The driving roller is provided with a protrusion that fits into the fitting opening.

Function: With this configuration, the protrusion of the drive roller fits into the fitting opening provided in the elastic band of the filter, and rotational force is constantly applied to the filter.

Examples Below, seven examples of the present invention, Example '5: Fig. 1, 2. The explanation will be based on the first and second η.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 constitutes a main body.A water tank is provided at the lower part of an outer frame 2 to store water, and a driven roller 3 is rotatably installed inside. Reference numeral 4 denotes a drive roller provided in the center of the outer frame 2, one end of which is rotatably supported, and the other end connected to a drive roller mold 6. An endless filter 6 is installed between the driven roller 3 and the driving roller 4, and is configured to be rotated by the rotation of the driving motor 5. An elastic band 8 having a fitting 1''7 is provided over the entire circumference at a suitable position in the width direction of the filter 6, and the fitting lower is fitted with a protrusion 9 provided on the drive roller 4, and is constantly , the driving force of the driving roller 4 is transmitted to the filter 6.

10 is a fan, 11 is a fan motor, 12 is a suction port,
13 is an air outlet.

In the above configuration, due to the rotation of the fan motor 11,
As shown by arrow A in FIG. 2, the air sucked in from the suction port 12 is humidified as it passes through the filter 6, and is discharged from the air outlet 13. At this time, an elastic band 8 having a fitting lower part is provided at a suitable position in the width direction of the filter 6 over the entire circumference, and the protrusion 9 of the fR drive roller fits into this fitting part lower part, so that the rotational force of the driving roller 4 is constantly applied. Even when the filter 6 expands due to weight increase due to absorption of water, the rotational force is always transmitted to the filter 6 via the elastic band 8, so the rotation is smooth without idling. It can be rotated and a stable amount of humidification can be obtained.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, the filter suspended between the two rollers prevents idling due to elongation of the filter. By fitting the protrusion of the drive roller with the fitting opening of the elastic band provided at an appropriate position in the width direction of the filter, it is possible to avoid rotational force by constantly transmitting it to the filter and obtain a stable amount of humidification.
