Description

Control method operate by Furze mode of humidification spray with multi-step

The present invention relates to controlling the spray amount of the humidifier, and more particularly, to a multi-stage humidification spray amount control method using a purge mode that differs from the current humidification mode according to various reference humidity by using the purge mode while equilibrium humidification.

In general, the humidifier has a humidifier as an essential device to increase the humidity in the room by evaporating the water to the humidifier, and known humidifiers for evaporating water include heaters and ultrasonic vibrators. As is well known, the heater converts electrical energy into thermal energy to supply heat to the water of the humidifier to generate mist, and in the case of an ultrasonic vibrator, to generate mist by converting the supplied electrical energy into a form of ultrasonic vibration energy. do.

Referring to FIG. 1 attached to the schematic configuration of the humidifier operating as described above, a key input unit 100 for inputting a desired humidity setting or a humidification mode in a predetermined key input format, and humidity sensing for detecting a current humidity The user's request input from the key input unit 100 based on the input unit 200, the water level detection unit 300 for detecting the level of the humidification tank, and the data output from the detection unit (200, 300) A microprocessor 700 for controlling various operations of the humidifier according to a signal, a humidification circuit unit 500 for driving a heater and an ultrasonic vibrator, each of which is a humidifier, and a microprocessor 700 of the microprocessor 700. A display unit 600 for displaying an option for a humidification mode input by the user through the key input unit 100, a desired humidity setting error, an operation state of the system, etc. And a fan motor driving unit 400 for driving a motor that turns a fan that emits mist (humidity) generated by the humidifier.

In the conventional humidifier configured as described above, the humidification mode according to the spray amount of mist is often a rapid, turbo, steel, medium, weak mode, in the case of the ultrasonic humidifier by changing the current supplied to the ultrasonic vibrator (for example, 750 milliamps (mA) for mode, 650 mA for medium mode and 550 mA for weak mode). Therefore, the user selects the humidification mode according to the spray amount of the mist according to the preference.

However, since the setting of the mist spray amount persists until the desired humidification degree selected by the user is reached, especially in the case of checking the ambient humidity during the initial operation and automatically setting the humidification mode accordingly, the variation of the ambient humidity is severe. In this case, the mist spray amount may be generated more or less than necessary.

In addition, a conventional humidifier operating as described above has a humidifying capacity (for example, 6 flat) set at the time of initial manufacture, and when used in a smaller or 4 flat type or 3 flat type, the humidification amount is high, In the case of the problem that the effect of the humidification is weak.

An object of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a multi-stage humidification spray amount control method using a purge mode that differs from the current humidification mode according to various reference humidity while using a purge mode by equilibrium humidification.
