To control the overall operation of the heater-type humidifier according to the water level sensing unit 20 and the key signal of the key input unit 10 and the water level detected by the water level sensing unit 20. 30, the heater is driven by the control signal of the microcomputer, the heater driving unit 60 to heat the water sucked by the centrifugal force is driven by the driven heater, and turned on by the control signal of the microcomputer 30 The drive means motor control unit 40, which is composed of transistors Q1-Q3 and resistors R1-R5, which are switched on / off to control the rotation state of the drive means motor driver 50, and the control signal of the microcomputer 30. To increase the amount of evaporation as a heater of the evaporation means driven by It consists of a means to drive 70.

And, Figure 4 is a control flow diagram for explaining the control method of the heater-type humidifier according to the present invention, the step of determining whether the appropriate amount of water level in the water tank reached through the water level detection unit in the state that the power is applied (S300-S301) and Selecting and inputting the humidifying amount of steel, medium, and weak as a key signal by the key input unit (S302), and if the humidifying amount is selected as the steel (J), the driving means motor is steel, the heater output is also steel, and the evaporation means heater is Humidification in the drive-on state (S303-S306), if the humidification amount is selected as medium (I) the drive means motor is medium, and the heater output is output in a strong state and humidification (S310-S312), and the humidification amount is selected as weak If (K) the drive means motor is about, the heater output is also provided in the step (S307-S309) where the humidification is performed in a weak state.

Referring to the operation and effect of the present invention configured as described in detail as follows.

First, in a state in which power is applied to the apparatus according to the present invention (S300) to check the water level of the water tank 120 in the water level detecting means 170 (S301), in this case a plot configured inside the water level detecting means 170 If there is an increasingly on-signal of the switch, it is determined that the proper level is at the microcomputer 30 connected to the water level sensing unit 10. If there is an increasingly off signal of the float switch, the microcomputer 30 is connected to the water level sensing unit 10. ) Is judged to be below the appropriate level. Thus, when it is determined that the water level is below the proper level, the microcomputer 30 notifies the water shortage to the outside through the alarm means (not shown) and the display means (not shown), while the microcomputer 30 determines that the proper water level is the key signal. Proceed to the input standby (S302).

When operating the key for the strong humidification amount of the humidification amount control steel, middle, weak key provided in the key input unit 10 in the input standby state (J) the microcomputer 30 to proceed to the humidification amount strong mode state (S303). Here, the humidification amount strong mode state refers to a state in which the driving means motor is steel (S304), the heater output is also steel (S305), and the evaporation means heater is in a driving-on state (S306). In the control operation, the microcomputer outputs a high potential to the output terminal P1 to conduct the transistor Q1 of the drive means motor control unit 40.

When the transistor Q1 is turned on, a voltage is applied to the driving means motor driver 50 as it is, thereby obtaining a strong rotation, and under the control of the microcomputer 30, a strong output is also controlled. The evaporation means heater driving unit 700 is also controlled to the driving on state.

In this state, the driving means 130 installed in the main body 110 is rotated at a strong speed, i.e., at a high speed, and the driving shaft 131, the humidification container 140, the suction pipe 141, and the suction port 142 are also rapidly rotated. Thus, the water in the water tank 120 is strongly sucked by the centrifugal force along the inner circumferential surface of the suction port 142, and the sucked water is heated by a strong high-power heater 150 installed inside the suction pipe 141 and exchanged for steam. The steam is raised to the humidification container 140, in which the warming effect of the steam is further generated by the heater of the evaporation means 180, so that the amount of humidification is maximized as the steam is discharged to the room by the delivery fan 160. Humidification takes place at

When operating the key for the middle humidification amount of the humidification amount adjustment steel, middle, and weak keys provided in the key input unit 10 in the input standby state (I) the microcomputer 30 to proceed to the mode state of the humidification amount (S310). Here, the mode state of the humidification amount refers to the driving means motor in the middle (S311), the heater output is a strong (S311) state. In the control operation, the microcomputer outputs a high potential to the output terminal P2 to conduct the transistor Q2 of the driving means motor control unit 40.

When the transistor Q2 is conducted, the voltage applied to the driving means motor driver 50 is applied after the voltage drops through the resistor R4, thereby obtaining an intermediate rotation, and the heater output is the microcomputer 30. By the control of the strong output is controlled to be applied.

In this state, the drive means 130 installed in the main body 110 rotates at a medium speed, and thus, the drive shaft 131, the humidification container 140, the suction pipe 141, and the suction port 142 are rotated. Thus, the water in the water tank 120 is sucked by the centrifugal force along the inner circumferential surface of the suction port 142, and the sucked water is heated by a strong high-power heater 150 installed inside the suction pipe 141 and exchanged for steam. Is raised to the humidification container 140, in which the humidification is made in a state in which the humidification amount is moderate because the steam is discharged into the room by the delivery fan 160.

When the key for the humidification amount of the humidification amount adjustment steel, middle, and weak keys provided in the key input unit 10 in the input standby state (K), the microcomputer 30 proceeds to the humidification amount weak mode state (S307). Here, the humidification amount weak mode refers to a state in which the driving means motor is about (S308) and the heater output is medium (S309). In the control operation, the microcomputer outputs a high potential to the output terminal P3 to conduct the transistor Q3 of the drive means motor control unit 40.

When the transistor Q3 is turned on, a voltage applied to the driving means motor driver 50 is applied after the voltage drops through the resistors R4 and R5, thereby obtaining a rotation of a weak state, and the heater output is a microcomputer. The control of 30 is controlled so that an intermediate output is applied.

In this state, the driving means 130 installed in the main body 110 rotates at a low speed, and the driving shaft 131, the humidification container 140, the suction pipe 141, and the suction port 142 are rotated about. Thus, the water in the water tank 120 is sucked by the centrifugal force along the inner circumferential surface of the suction port 142, and the sucked water is heated by an intermediate output heater 150 installed inside the suction pipe 141 and exchanged for steam. The steam is raised to the humidification vessel 140, in which the steam is discharged into the room by the delivery fan 160, the humidification effect is achieved at the lowest amount of humidification.

As described above, the present invention has been improved by understanding that the control means for efficiently controlling the driving means and the method for accurately recognizing the amount of water in the tank are improved in the previously disclosed invention, and the multi-step control of the water level in the tank and the corresponding humidification amount is achieved. By making it possible, it is a useful invention with the effect of making it possible to increase a humidification amount more efficiently.

The above description is only one embodiment of the present invention, and any change may be made within the scope of the present invention.
