The present invention relates to a bottle heater having a humidifying function capable of simultaneously implementing a humidifying function. Specifically, the water contained in the water tank warms up the bottle seat to heat the bottle, and is atomized by the ultrasonic humidifier The present invention relates to a bottle heater having a humidifying function for implementing a humidifying function.

Parents who raise infants usually feed infants at intervals of 3 to 4 hours. Even if they prepare the infant feeding bottle, even if the infant is cooled down after a certain period of time, if the infant warms up for a long time, Every time I breastfeed, I warm up my formula and feed it.

In addition, when feeding breast milk, it is troublesome to feed breast milk every time.

Conventional methods for heating the contents of the bottle, that is, milk powder and breast milk, include heating the bottle by contacting the outer surface of the plastic bottle with a heating means and heating the bottle so that as the temperature inside the bottle rises as the bottle is heated, Is heated. Further, since the microwave oven has become widespread, a method of heating the contents inside the bottle by putting the bottle into the microwave oven and operating the microwave oven is mainly used.

However, in the case of using the microwave oven as described above, there is a possibility that the gene and the molecular structure of the contents of the bottle due to the electromagnetic wave emitted from the microwave oven may be altered to be harmful to the human body. Therefore, I use a bottle warmer to warm a bottle in a pot, or to warm a bottle in a hot water bath.

In Korea, too, the humidity in winter falls sharply. The most suitable room humidity is 40 ~ 60%, but indoor humidity is usually 40% or less in winter, and 20 ~ 30% in apartments and buildings where heating and insulation are good.

First, the water receiving part 210 is formed on the outer edge of the water tub 200 to receive water. As the water tank 200 is separated from the housing 100, it is easy to discharge the water contained in the water tank 200 to the outside. In addition, the upper end of the water receiving part 210 may be opened to facilitate the inflow and outflow of water, and a lid capable of opening and closing may be installed at the upper end. At this time, the water contained in the water receiving portion 210 is heated together with the heating means 120 being driven, and transfers the heat received from the heating means 120 to the bottle receiving portion 220.

The bottle placing part 220 is seated in the center of the inside of the water tub 200, and a space for receiving the bottle is formed inside. The bottle receiving part 220 serves to transmit the heat transferred from the water to the bottle. At this time, the bottle seat 220 is made of a metal material to maximize heat transfer efficiency, and it is preferable that the bottle seat 220 is made of a titanium alloy material in order to minimize corrosion by water.

Accordingly, the bottle seat portion prevents direct contact between the bottle and the water in the water tank, so that it is possible to minimize the propagation of the bacteria propagated in the water to the outer surface of the bottle.

The heat line 230 is installed along the outer surface of the bottle receiving part 220 and is a secondary means for heating the receiving bottle receiving part 220. One end of the heat line 230 passes through the lower end of the water tub 200 and is electrically connected to the lower end of the housing 100. At this time, the heat line 230 is controlled by the control means 110. When the heating means 120 is operated, the heat line 230 is operated together. When the heating means 120 is stopped, the heat line 230 is also stopped.

Accordingly, the bottle seat 220 can be warmed by the heated water and heated by the heat wire 230, thereby shortening the time required for heating the bottle to an appropriate feeding temperature of 35 ° C to 38 ° C .

The electrical connection part 240 is formed to penetrate through the center of the lower end of the water receiving part 210 and accommodates one end of the heat wire 230 to electrically connect the heat wire 230 and the control unit 110. At this time, a protrusion having a shape corresponding to the electrical contact 240 is formed at the lower end of the housing 100. When the electrical contact 240 is coupled with the protrusion, power can be supplied to the heat wire 230.

The water tank 200 and the housing 100 are made of a transparent material so that the amount of water remaining in the water storage part 210 can be easily grasped or the water level in the water storage part 210 is interlocked with the control part 110 A sensing sensor may be installed. In addition, a grasping portion may be additionally formed at an upper end of the water tub 200 to facilitate separation between the water tub 200 and the housing 100.

The heating means 120 and the heating wire 230 are driven so that the heating means 120 heats the water contained in the water tub 200 . At this time, the heated water and hot water 230 can heat the bottle seat 220 and the bottle can indirectly warm the bottle by the heat transmitted from the bottle seat 220, so that the bottle and water can be prevented from directly contacting each other Thereby minimizing the propagation of germs in the water to the outside of the bottle.

Next, the ultrasonic humidifying unit 300 is installed to communicate with the water tub 200, and atomizes the water contained in the water tub 200 by vibrating it. At this time, the ultrasonic humidifying unit 300 includes the channel 310, the ultrasonic vibrator 320, and the humidifying unit housing 330.

The flow path 310 is provided to communicate with the lower end of the water tub 200 and is bent upward. At this time, the channel 310 serves to transmit the water contained in the water tank 200 to the ultrasonic vibrator 320. A check valve 311 is provided at one end of the flow path 310 connected to the water tub 200 to prevent the water in the water tub 200 from being discharged to the outside when the water tub 200 is separated from the housing 100 can do. In addition, a pump may be installed at the lower end of the flow path 310 to draw water up to the ultrasonic vibrator 320.

The ultrasonic vibrator 320 is installed at an upper end of the flow path 310 and vibrates the water transferred from the flow path 310 to be granulated. The ultrasonic transducer 320 is electrically connected to the control means 110 and is driven by the control means 110. When the heating means 120 and the heat conduction line 230 are driven, On / off < / RTI >

The humidifier housing 330 is formed at the rim of the water tub 200 and is hollow and accommodates the flow channel 310 and the ultrasonic vibrator 320 therein. At the upper end, a humidifier 331 is formed at a position spaced apart from the ultrasonic vibrator 320 by a predetermined distance from the upper side. Water vapor generated from the ultrasonic vibrator 320 through the humidifier 331 is discharged to the outside.

Accordingly, since the water heated by the bottle can be generated by the ultrasonic vibrator 320, the function of the humidifier as well as the bottle heater can be realized. Accordingly, since it is not necessary to separately purchase and operate the bottle warmer and the humidifier, the purchase cost and the energy efficiency of the bottle warmer and the humidifier can be reduced.

3 is a view illustrating the use of a bottle heater having a humidifying function according to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, an example of using a baby bottle heater having a humidifying function according to the present invention will be described. First, water is received in the water receiving portion 210 of the water tub 200 and the bottle is received in the bottle receiving portion 220 . When the water detecting sensor detects the water tub 200 and the heating signal is input through the input button 130 on the outer circumferential surface of the housing 100, the control unit 110 The operation of the heating means 120 is started.
