The present invention relates to a multi-functional household humidifier of the automatic water supply method, and more particularly, by adding an ozone generator or an ultraviolet sterilization lamp as a sterilizer to perform sterilization and deodorization functions in the humidifier to an ultrasonic humidifier for spraying water using ultrasonic waves. It is formed as a single device with multiple functions, but by forming a water supply device operated by the water level sensor installed in the water tank, it is possible to control the humidity with clean air humidification, and also without the separate water storage tank that requires frequent water change. By detecting the water level and the presence of water, the water supply hose directly connected to the water supply can supply water directly to the humidification tank and drain it through the drain if necessary, so that the proper water level can be maintained at all times. Ozone or Ultraviolet Air Flow Sterilization and deodorization inside the humidifier by dispersing action as well as sterilization and deodorization of water stored in the water tank under the action of dissolved ozone or ultraviolet rays, atomizing clean water into ultra-fine particles and spraying it indoors It is a hygienic multi-functional household humidifier with automatic water supply system, which is hygienic and can automatically adjust the water supply and drainage level.

Humidifiers are so common that there are no homes that are not owned in each home. According to the method, it is generally classified into a heating humidifier that directly heats water to discharge steam, and an ultrasonic humidifier that is granulated by using a ultrasonic vibrator and discharged into the room.

The heated humidifier is a method of spraying the water generated by heating the water stored in the water tank to the appropriate temperature by using a heating means such as a heater, it is difficult to automatically control the amount of humidification, such as time wastage and electricity for heating the water tank with the heater In addition to the direct energy consumption, large particles tend to form water droplets and increase the temperature in a well-heated room, providing an unsanitary environment in which mold or house dust mites are easily generated. On the other hand, the ultrasonic humidifier is generally recommended. Is a humidification method that is responsive and can be miniaturized by applying ultrasonic vibrator, and sprays cold water vapor of ultra-fine particles without raising the temperature of water, which makes the humidification effect faster and prevents condensation. By jetting Contaminated water is an easy problem to bacteria breeding in stagnant water inside the water tank when the long-term use, easy to be discharged into the air without disinfection or filtration.

In addition, both the heated humidifier and the ultrasonic humidifier can supply water to the humidifying part to atomize the water by using a separately provided water storage tank. The water tank must be provided separately, which is cumbersome, uneconomical, and frequently changes the water in the water tank. Of course, there are inconveniences in using the water tank, which must be frequently cleaned to keep the water tank clean.

As described above, a humidifier having a sterilization function using ozone or ultraviolet rays has been released to solve the problem of the inadequate humidification effect of the conventional humidifier.

Its sterilization effect is fragmentary and it is not sufficient, and it is equipped with a small capacity water storage tank and changes the water of the water tank from time to time. We could not solve complex problems at once, such as inconvenience to use.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it is formed as a multi-functional single device by adding an ozone generator or ultraviolet sterilization lamp to perform the sterilization and deodorization function in the humidifier to the ultrasonic humidifier spraying water using ultrasonic waves. By forming a water supply device operated by the water level control sensor installed in the water tank, it is possible to control the humidity with clean air humidification, and of course, even if the water is not frequently changed in the water tank, the sensor detects the water level and the presence of water and connects directly to the water supply. The water supply hose automatically and directly supplies the water to the tank and drains it through the drain if necessary. It keeps the proper water level at all times and atomizes clean water into ultra fine particles and sprays it to the outside. User can adjust water supply and water level automatically To Castle offers a multi-functional household humidifier water supply system it has dramatically improved Auto purposes.
