The bucket of the conventional humidifier is partitioned into three compartments of upper, middle, and lower, and the upper compartment is the upper tank 10, the middle compartment is the middle tank 20, and the lower compartment is the lower tank 30.

On the upper surface of the upper tank 10, a water inlet 11 for replenishing water from the outside is formed, and the air discharge pipe 13 is installed from the bottom of the upper tank 10 to the upper side of the inner side wall, and the intermediate tank ( 20 has an upper passage 12 through which water enters from the upper tank 10 and an air outlet 13 for discharging air collected in the intermediate tank 20 to the upper tank 10. and

On the bottom surface of the intermediate water tank 20, a lower passage 31 is formed through which water flows downward, so that the lower water tank 30 is internally connected.

On the bottom surface of the lower water tank 30, a water outlet 32 having a push valve was provided.

As above, the upper water tank 10, the intermediate water tank 20, the lower water tank 30 are stacked in order, and in the water tank in which the whole forms a single appearance, to the main pit 11 of the upper surface of the upper water tank 10. Since the replenished water continues to flow through the intermediate water tank 20 and the lower water tank 30 to the humidifier main body, it cannot be used as a bucket of the humidifier.

Several safety devices, such as the following, are installed in the intermediate water tank 20 so that water can be safely supplied to the humidifier main body, like a bucket of a conventional humidifier.

1. Auxiliary Tank

A portion of the upper portion of the intermediate water tank 20 is horizontally partitioned to form an auxiliary tank 28 for receiving water flowing out of the upper passage 12, and at the bottom of the auxiliary tank, an auxiliary tank smaller than the upper passage 12. One drain port 28-2 was drilled and the upper side wall formed a plurality of surplus outlets 28-1 so that the auxiliary tank 28 could overflow when the water was filled.

20% of the water flowing through the upper passage 12 to the auxiliary tank 28 flows down to the intermediate tank 20 via the auxiliary tank drain 28-2, and the remaining 80% is accumulated in the auxiliary tank 28. When the auxiliary tank 28 is full, it flows down to the intermediate water tank 20 through the surplus outlet 28-1,

The size of the auxiliary tank 28 is capable of desalination of the amount of water that can float the knitting 21 (described later) in the intermediate water tank 20 to the knitting position indication point (described later) "A". It was made to size.

2. Knitting

The intermediate part of the intermediate tank 20, the knitting 21 is filled with air and sealed in a flat rectangular parallelepiped tube and

3. Air collection chamber

A fence was formed along the lower side of the knit 21 to form an air collecting chamber 25 to collect rising air defenses.

4. Down passage needle valve

On the upper surface of the air collecting chamber 25, a lower lead 26 was installed to face downward, and a lower passage needle valve 27 with a coil spring was attached to the end of the lower lead 26.

5. Air collecting chamber outlet push valve

From the upper surface of the air collecting chamber 25, the cylindrical air collecting chamber discharge port 25-1 which penetrated the knitting 21 up and down is formed, and the long rod-type air collecting chamber discharge port push valve 25 which opens and closes the discharge port is shown. -2) installed

6. Upper passage needle valve and air outlet needle valve

On the upper surface of the knit 21, a weed lead 22 was installed, and a same type upper passage needle valve 23 and an air discharge needle valve 24 having a coil spring attached to the upper lead 22 were coupled. .

The float 21 includes an air collecting chamber 25, an air collecting chamber discharge valve push valve 25-2, a lower passage needle valve 27, an upper passage needle valve 23, an air discharge needle valve 24, and the like. When the knitting 21 has a specific gravity of 0.7 or more, the buoyancy is weak so that the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are poorly controlled, and if the specific gravity is 0.5 or less, the air collecting chamber outlet is too light. (25-1) and the lower passage (31) lacked control, so the specific gravity was close to 0.6.

One end of the knitting 21 is coupled to a hinge 21-1 attached to the middle of the side wall in the intermediate water tank 20, and an outer wall surface of the intermediate water tank 20 having the other end of the knitting 21 is provided. In the above, a knitting position indicating point indicating the position of the upper end of the floated needle 21 was carved in alphabetical order from "A" to "E".

[Action of invention]

The operation of the safety devices in the intermediate tank 20 described above is as follows. When the knitting 21 sinks to the knitting position indication point "E", the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are open, and the lower passage 31 is closed, so that the upper tank ( 18) water is introduced into the auxiliary tank 28, the water level in the intermediate water tank 20 is raised, the knitting 21 rises, at this time, the action of the float 21 is floating

First, the upper passage 12 is closed to block both the upper passage 12 and the lower passage 31, and then the lower passage 31 is opened, and finally, the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1 is closed.

If spraying continues in the humidifier, the water level in the intermediate water tank 20 is lowered and the knitting 21 sinks, which is the opposite of when the knitting is injured.

First, the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1 is opened, and then the lower passage 31 is closed to block both the upper passage 12 and the lower passage 31, and finally, the upper passage 12 is opened.

As described above, the knitting 21 alternately opens and closes the upper passage 12 and the lower passage 31 when injured or sinks, or simultaneously closes the water to supply water to the humidifier body. This prevents the effects of air pressure and ensures safe water supply at all times.

If the above outlined in detail by the accompanying drawings,

In the water tank of the upper sprinkler humidifier, the initial state in which the water is not contained is the upper passage needle valve 23 coupled to the upper lid 22 with the knitting 21 sinking to the knitting position indication point "E". And the air outlet needle valve 24 sinks together with the knitting 21 so that the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are open,

The lower passage needle valve 27 closes the lower passage 31 under the knitting 21 while the coil spring is compressed.

The end of the long rod-type push valve 25-2 of the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1 is pressed against the bottom surface of the intermediate water tank 20 to open the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1.

At this time, the upper water tank 10 and the intermediate water tank 20 are in the state which is internally flowed into the upper passage 12, and the lower water tank 30 becomes the independent separate tank by closing the lower passage 31. As shown in FIG.

In the initial state as described above, when the water in the main tank 11 of the upper tank, the water flows into the auxiliary tank 28 in the intermediate tank 20 through the upper tank 10 and the upper passage 12 20% of the water flowing into the auxiliary tank 28 flows down through the auxiliary tank drain 28-2, and the remaining 80% is accumulated in the auxiliary tank 28. The water accumulated in the auxiliary tank 28 flows down to the intermediate water tank 20 through the drain port 28-2 at the bottom of the auxiliary tank even after the upper passage 12 is closed and the inflow of water is stopped. (21) will continue to injure.

However, until the upper passage 12 is closed, the amount of water remaining after filling the auxiliary tank flows into the intermediate water tank 20 through the surplus outlet 28-1, and flows down from the auxiliary tank drain 28-2. Combined with water, it is filled from the bottom surface of the intermediate tank (20).

When the water level in the intermediate water tank 20 rises, and the knitting 21 floats to the knitting position indication point "D", the upper passage needle valve 23 and the air discharge needle valve 24 are the upper passage 12. And the air outlet 13 is closed, and the lower passage needle valve 27 partially restores the compressed coil spring, but the state in which the lower passage 31 is closed is maintained as it is.

While the upper, middle, and lower tanks are blocked from each other, the flow of water and air is stopped between the respective tanks, but in the intermediate tank 20, the water in the submerged auxiliary tank 28 is stored in the auxiliary tank drain port 28-. As it flows down through 2), the knitting 21 continues to rise.

Even when the knitting 21 passes through the knitting position indication point “D” and is continuously injured, the upper passage needle valve 23 and the air discharge needle valve 24 are compressed with the upper passage 12 while the coil spring at the end of the valve is compressed. The air outlet 13 is kept closed.

When the knitting 21 is floated to the knitting position indication point "C", the lower passage needle valve 27 is completely restored and the coil spring is raised as the knitting 21, so that the lower passage 31 is opened. The intermediate water tank 20 and the lower water tank 30 are introduced into the lower passage 31 so that the water in the intermediate water tank 20 is replaced with air in the lower water tank 30 and flows down to the lower water tank 30.

At this time, since the knitting 21 loses buoyancy, it sinks to the knitting position indication point "E", which is an initial position, and the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are opened again, so that the upper tank 10 Water flows down into the auxiliary tank 28 and is replaced with water, and the air collected at the upper part of the knit 21 in the intermediate water tank 20 passes through the air discharge port 13 and the air discharge pipe 13-1. It is discharged to the water surface in the tank (10).

As above, the float 21 rises and sinks, while the water level in the intermediate tank 20 is gradually increased.

When the float rises to the "K" point, the end of the push valve 25-2 of the air collecting chamber outlet is separated from the bottom of the intermediate water tank 20, and the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1 is opened. When the float 21 is lifted to the upper limit "A" and stopped, the upper, middle and lower tanks are already filled with water, and the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are closed and the lower passage is closed. Since 31 is open, the upper water tank 10 is independent, and the intermediate water tank 20 and the lower water tank 30 are stabilized while being in the inner passage to the lower passage 31.

As described above, after the water in the upper water-type humidifier bucket is filled and stabilized, when the humidifier is started and spraying is started, the water in the intermediate tank 20 and the lower tank 30 introduced into the lower passage 31 is upper part. Regardless of the water tank (10), the water starts to be supplied to the humidifier main body through the water inlet (32) of the lower water tank (30), and at this time, the air bubbles that are replaced with the water are raised through the lower passage (31). Through the air collecting chamber 25 is collected.

When the continuously rising air bubble fills the air collecting chamber 25 and rises beyond the air collecting chamber fence, the water level in the intermediate water tank 20 is gradually lowered, and the knitting (21) stopped at the point "A". ) Gradually subsided.

When the float 21 sinks, it acts in the opposite manner as when it floats, and when it sinks to the "B" point, the end of the long rod-type air chamber discharge port push valve 25-2 is the bottom of the intermediate tank 20. While pressing on the surface, the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1 is opened, and the air in the air collecting chamber 25 is discharged to the upper part of the float 21 through the air collecting chamber outlet 25-1, and the knitting ( 21) sinks rapidly.

When the knitting 21 sinks to the point "C", the lower passage needle valve 27 closes the lower passage 31. When the knitting 21 sinks to the point "D", the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are closed. It is opened, the knitting 21 is stopped after sinking to the lower limit "E".

When the knitting 21 sinks to the point "E", since the upper passage 12 and the air outlet 13 are already open, the water in the upper tank 10 passes through the upper passage 12 to the auxiliary tank 28. ), And the air collected in the upper portion of the intermediate tank 20 is discharged to the water surface in the upper tank 10 through the air discharge port 13 and the air discharge pipe 13-1.

Since the lower passage 31 is already closed, the lower water tank 30 is an independent water tank regardless of the upper water tank 10 or the middle water tank 20, and stably supplies water to the humidifier main body.

Then, when the water level in the intermediate water tank 20 becomes high, the knitting 21 is floated again, spraying continues in a humidifier, and when the water level in the intermediate water tank 20 becomes low, the knitting 21 repeats sinking again. As it is, the water stored in the upper tank 10 is gradually reduced.

Finally, when the water in the upper tank 10 is insufficient, open the lid of the main opening 11 above the upper tank to use a safe container such as a kettle to replenish the water.

As described above, when the water in the humidifier bucket is consumed, the present invention does not separate the bucket from the humidifier body, but opens the lid of the water inlet 11 on the top of the bucket, and uses a safe container to replenish the water. By doing so, anyone can use it safely and conveniently.
