Description

Humidifier for absorbing and evaporating water

The present invention relates to an absorption evaporative humidifier, and more particularly, by installing an absorption evaporation device having a heating element provided with an absorber and a heat sink on an upper portion of a water tank in which water supplied from a water tank in a humidifier is stored. By being sucked up by the absorbent material and being vaporized by the heat generated from the heating element at once, the bacteria contained in the water discharged into the indoor space are completely sterilized in two stages, and the water stored in the tank is stored at 20 ° C to The present invention relates to an absorption evaporative humidifier that maintains the temperature at 30 ° C. such that there is no risk of burns even if the humidifier falls down.

In general, the air inside the home or office does not have a suitable vapor generating element in the room and it is easy to dry when the room temperature increases. At this time, the air is supplied with moisture to maintain proper humidity (about 60%). Humidifiers are used to prevent disease and maintain a pleasant indoor atmosphere.

The humidifier used as described above is an electrothermal humidifier that generates steam by heating water supplied from a water tank with a heater or an electrode according to a humidification method, and an oscillator installed in water by generating an electric signal of a specific frequency in an electric circuit. By vibrating, it is classified into an ultrasonic humidifier that atomizes water (formation into fine water droplets such as mist).

However, in the case of the ultrasonic humidifier as described above, since the liquid water is ultrasonically vibrated by the ultrasonic oscillator to release the water particles in the atomized state, the temperature of the indoor air is lowered and the humidifier is not properly cleaned, or for a long time. In the case of storing water in the water tank, or when the humidifier is old, bacteria are easily propagated in the water stored in the water tank, thereby causing a fatal problem that adversely affects the health of the frail patient and the infant.

Due to such a problem, conventionally, an electrothermal humidifier has been preferred to an ultrasonic humidifier, and the electrothermal humidifier according to the prior art, as shown in FIG. 1, has a flow path from the water tank 3 to the inside of the main body 2. 4) a water tank 5 through which water is supplied, a heater 6 installed inside the water tank to heat and vaporize water in the water tank, and a nozzle case 8 through which water vaporized by the heater 6 is guided.

The bacteria contained in the water can be completely sterilized, but the water stored in the water tank is heated to a temperature of about 90 ° C to 100 ° C by the heater 6 at this time. Since the hot water inadvertently knocked down the humidifier due to carelessness, there was a problem that if the water in the tank pours a fatal burn.

The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems as described above, the absorption evaporative humidifier according to the present invention is formed on the top of the water tank in which the water supplied from the water tank in the humidifier is formed a heating element having an absorber and a heat sink. By installing an absorption evaporator, the water in the tank is sucked up by the absorbent material and vaporized by the heat generated from the heating element. The bacteria contained in the water released into the indoor space are completely discharged in two stages. The technical problem is that the water stored in the tank is maintained at 20 ° C to 30 ° C while being sterilized so that there is no risk of burns even if the humidifier falls down.

The present invention for achieving the above technical problem, the water tank is supplied to the water through the flow pipe from the water tank inside the main body, a nozzle case for guiding the water particles in the water tank, and is installed on the top of the nozzle case In a humidifier comprising an absorption evaporator for absorbing water, heating and vaporizing water therein, and a discharging portion provided at an upper portion of the absorption evaporation device to adjust a discharge direction of water particles, the absorption evaporation device generates heat by electricity.
