Description

가습기{HUMIDIFIER}Humidifier {HUMIDIFIER}

본 발명은 가습기에 관한 것으로서, 보다 상세하게는, 증기배출부를 통하여 외부로 배출되는 증기를 가열, 살균할 수 있는 가습기에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a humidifier, and more particularly, to a humidifier capable of heating and sterilizing steam discharged to the outside through a steam discharge unit.

일반적으로, 가습기는 가정이나 사무실 등에 설치되어 공기 중의 습도를 적절히 맞추어 줄 수 있도록 된 것으로, 전열식, 원심식, 초음파 발생식 등 여러 종류가 있다.In general, humidifiers are installed in homes or offices so as to suit the humidity in the air appropriately, and there are various types such as heat transfer type, centrifugal type, and ultrasonic generation type.

전열식은 저장된 물을 히터로 가열하여 수증기를 발생시키므로 가열시간 만큼 시간지연이 발생되며, 원심식 가습기는 가습 효과는 빠르나 입자가 크기 때문에 끈적거리는 느낌이 발생되는 등의 문제점이 있다.The heat transfer type generates steam by heating the stored water with a heater, and thus a time delay is generated as long as the heating time. The centrifugal humidifier has a problem such as a sticky feeling due to the fast humidification effect but the large particles.

이에 반해, 초음파에 의한 가습기는 조작이 간단하고 가습 효과가 빠른 장점이 있다. 이러한 초음파 가습기는 수조에 저장된 물에 진동자의 진동에너지를 가해줌으로써, 물 입자를 분리해 내어 수증기 상태로 만들고, 이를 외부로 토출시켜 가습한다.On the other hand, the humidifier by ultrasonic has the advantage of simple operation and fast humidification effect. The ultrasonic humidifier applies the vibration energy of the vibrator to the water stored in the tank, separates the water particles into a water vapor state, and discharges it to the outside to humidify.

그런데, 수조에 오염된 물이 채워질 경우, 가습기 작동시 인체에 유해한 세 균 등이 공기 중에 떠다녀 호흡기와 관련된 질환을 유발하는 문제점이 있었다.However, when the contaminated water in the tank is filled, there is a problem that bacteria, such as harmful to the human body floats in the air when the humidifier is operated, causing diseases related to the respiratory system.

또한, 가습기 작동시 발생되는 증기는 수조의 일측에 형성된 증기배출부를 통해 외부로 배출되는데, 이러한 증기배출부에 물떼가 쌓이면서 유해 세균이 번식하거나 대기중의 유해 세균이 번식하면서 이 증기배출부를 통해 배출되는 증기에 유해 세균이 함께 섞여 공기 중으로 퍼지기 때문에, 원하는 살균 효과를 제대로 거둘 수 없는 단점이 있다.In addition, the steam generated during the operation of the humidifier is discharged to the outside through the steam discharge portion formed on one side of the water tank, the water is accumulated in the steam discharge portion to the harmful bacteria to multiply or the harmful bacteria in the air are discharged through this steam discharge unit. Since harmful germs are mixed together and spread into the air, the desired sterilizing effect cannot be achieved properly.

특히, 면역력이 약한 노약자나 환자 또는 아동들을 위하여 실내에 가습기를 설치하여 사용하는 경우가 많은데, 이처럼 가습기의 증기배출부에 번식하는 유해 세균에 의해 면역력이 약한 환자나 노인 등의 건강을 크게 해칠 수 있는 문제점이 있다.In particular, a humidifier is installed indoors for the elderly, patients or children with weak immunity. Thus, harmful bacteria propagating in the vapor discharge part of the humidifier can greatly damage the health of the weak immunity and the elderly. There is a problem.

그리고, 증기배출부를 통해 외부로 배출되는 증기의 온도가 낮으므로, 면역력이 약한 환자나 노인에게 감기 등과 질병을 초래할 수 있으며, 또한 증기배출부를 통해 배출되는 증기가 원활하게 확산되지 않고 국부적으로 가습되는 문제점이 있다.In addition, since the temperature of the steam discharged to the outside through the steam discharge unit is low, it may cause a cold or disease to the patient or the elderly with weak immunity, and also the steam discharged through the steam discharge unit is not humidified locally but humidified locally. There is a problem.

상기 배경기술의 문제점에서 해결하고자 하는 과제는, 본 발명에 따라, 증기배출구를 통해 외부로 배출되는 증기에 유해 세균이 섞여 배출되는 것을 방지하며, 쾌적한 실내 습도를 유지하고, 사용자의 건강에 기여할 수 있는 가습기를 제공하는 것이다.The problem to be solved in the problem of the background art, according to the present invention, to prevent harmful bacteria mixed with the steam discharged to the outside through the steam outlet, to maintain a comfortable indoor humidity, and contribute to the user's health To provide a humidifier.

상기 과제의 해결 수단은, 본 발명에 따라, 내부에 수조가 구비된 본체와; 상기 수조에 물을 제공하는 물탱크와; 상기 수조에 유입된 물을 증기로 변환하는 증기발생부와; 상기 수조로부터 발생한 증기를 상기 본체 외부로 배출 안내하는 증기배출부와; 은의 재질을 함유하고 증기가 통과하도록 내부에 복수의 기공을 형성하며, 상기 수조로부터 발생한 증기를 살균하는 은폼과; 상기 은폼을 통과하는 증기를 가열하도록 상기 은폼을 가열하는 가열부를 포함하는 것을 특징으로 하는 가습기를 제공한다.Means for Solving the Problems According to the present invention, there is provided a main body provided with a water tank therein; A water tank for providing water to the tank; A steam generator for converting water introduced into the tank into steam; A steam discharge unit for guiding discharge of steam generated from the water tank to the outside of the main body; A silver foam containing a material of silver and forming a plurality of pores therein to allow steam to pass therethrough, and sterilizing steam generated from the water tank; It provides a humidifier comprising a heating unit for heating the silver foam to heat the steam passing through the silver foam.

여기서, 은의 재질을 함유하고 물이 유동가능하도록 내부에 복수의 기공을 형성하며, 상기 물탱크에 마련되는 보조 은폼을 더 포함할 수 있다.Here, it may further include an auxiliary silver foam provided in the water tank to form a plurality of pores therein to contain the material of silver and water flow.

따라서, 상기 과제의 해결 수단에 따르면, 증기배출부를 통하여 외부로 배출 되는 증기를 가열 및 살균함으로써, 증기배출부를 통해 외부로 배출되는 증기에 유해 세균이 섞여 배출되는 것을 방지하며, 쾌적한 실내 습도를 유지하고 사용자의 건강에 기여할 수 있다.Therefore, according to the above solution, by heating and sterilizing the steam discharged to the outside through the steam discharge unit, to prevent harmful bacteria mixed with the steam discharged to the outside through the steam discharge unit, to maintain a comfortable indoor humidity And contribute to the health of the user.

도 1 내지 도 3에는 본 발명에 따른 가습기가 도시되어 있다. 이들 도면에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 가습기는 수조(13)가 구비된 본체(11)와, 수조(13)에 물을 제공하는 물탱크(31)와, 수조(13)에 유입된 물을 증기로 변환하는 증기발생부(35)와, 수조(13)로부터 발생한 증기를 본체(11) 외부로 배출 안내하는 증기배출부(41)와, 증기가 통과하도록 내부에 복수의 기공(53)이 형성된 은폼(51)과, 은폼(51)을 가열하는 가열부(61)를 포함한다.1 to 3 show a humidifier according to the present invention. As shown in these figures, the humidifier according to the present invention, the main body 11 is provided with a water tank 13, the water tank 31 for providing water to the water tank 13, and the water introduced into the water tank 13 A steam generator 35 for converting water into steam, a steam discharge portion 41 for guiding discharge of steam generated from the water tank 13 to the outside of the main body 11, and a plurality of pores 53 therein to allow steam to pass therethrough. ) Is formed a silver foam 51, and a heating portion 61 for heating the silver foam (51).

본체(11)의 일측에는 물을 수용하며 물이 증기로 발생되는 수조(13)가 구비되어 있으며, 본체(11)의 타측에는 수조(13)에 물을 제공하는 물탱크(31)가 배치되어 있다. 물탱크(31)의 물은 연통로(15)를 통해 수조(13)로 공급된다. 본체(11)의 전면에는 가습기의 작동상태를 표시하는 디스플레이부(17)와, 가습기를 작동하기 위한 복수의 조작버튼(19)이 구비되어 있다.One side of the main body 11 is provided with a water tank 13 for receiving water and generating water as steam, and on the other side of the main body 11, a water tank 31 for providing water to the water tank 13 is disposed. have. Water in the water tank 31 is supplied to the water tank 13 through the communication path (15). The front of the main body 11 is provided with a display unit 17 for displaying the operating state of the humidifier, and a plurality of operation buttons 19 for operating the humidifier.

물탱크(31)로부터 배출된 물은 본체(11)에 경사지게 형성된 연통로(15)를 통해 수조(13)로 유입된다.Water discharged from the water tank 31 is introduced into the water tank 13 through the communication path 15 formed to be inclined to the body (11).

증기발생부(35)는 수조(13)의 바닥부에 마련되어, 수조(13)에 유입된 물을 증기로 변환한다. 본 실시예에서는 증기발생부(35)로서 초음파 진동자가 개시되어 있으며, 이에 수조(13)에 유입된 물은 초음파 진동자의 진동에 의해 안개 상태의 증기를 발생시킨다.The steam generator 35 is provided at the bottom of the water tank 13 to convert water introduced into the water tank 13 into steam. In the present embodiment, an ultrasonic vibrator is disclosed as the steam generator 35, and water introduced into the water tank 13 generates steam in a fog state by vibration of the ultrasonic vibrator.

증기발생부(35)의 상방에는 즉, 본체(11)의 수조(13) 상방에는 증기발생부(35)로부터 발생한 증기가 유동하는 유로(21)와, 유로(21)를 유동한 증기가 배출되는 배출구(23)가 형성되어 있다.Above the steam generator 35, that is, above the water tank 13 of the main body 11, a flow path 21 through which steam generated from the steam generator 35 flows, and steam flowing through the flow path 21 are discharged. A discharge port 23 is formed.

한편, 본체(11)의 배출구(23)에는 수조(13)로부터 발생한 증기를 본체(11) 외부로 배출 안내하는 증기배출부(41)가 회전가능하게 끼움 결합된다.On the other hand, the discharge port 23 of the main body 11 is rotatably fitted to the steam discharge portion 41 for guiding the discharge of the steam generated from the water tank 13 to the outside of the main body (11).

또한, 수조(13)와 배출구(23) 사이에는 내측 반경방향으로 돌출된 돌출턱(25)이 마련되어 있으며, 이 돌출턱(25)에는 후술할 하우징이 착탈가능하게 안착된다.In addition, between the water tank 13 and the discharge port 23 is provided with a protruding jaw 25 protruding in the inner radial direction, the housing to be described later is detachably seated.

증기배출부(41)는 하단부가 개구된 속이 빈 통형상을 가지며, 증기배출부(41)의 하단부는 본체(11)의 배출구(23)에 끼움 결합되며, 증기배출부(41)의 상단부에는 수조(13)의 증기를 외부로 배출하는 증기배출구(43)가 형성되어 있다. 증기배출부(41)는 증기배출구(43)를 통해 배출되는 증기의 유속을 증대시키기 위해 하단부로부터 상단부로 향할수록 증기배출부(41)의 내부 단면적이 축소되는 형상을 가진다.The steam discharge part 41 has a hollow cylindrical shape with an open lower end, and the lower end of the steam discharge part 41 is fitted to the outlet 23 of the main body 11, and is provided at an upper end of the steam discharge part 41. The steam outlet 43 which discharges the steam of the water tank 13 to the outside is formed. The steam discharge portion 41 has a shape in which the internal cross-sectional area of the steam discharge portion 41 is reduced from the lower portion to the upper portion in order to increase the flow rate of the steam discharged through the steam discharge port 43.

은폼(51)은, 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이, 증기가 통과하도록 내부에 복수의 기공(53)이 형성되어 있다. 은폼(51)은 은을 대략 블록 형상의 폼(form) 형태로 제작하여 이루어진 것으로, 증기발생부(35)에 의해 발생되어 증기배출부(41)를 통과하 는 증기를 살균하게 된다. 특히, 은폼(51)은 내부에 복수의 기공(53)이 형성된 폼 형태로 이루어지기 때문에, 기공(53) 사이를 증기가 통과하면서 증기에 섞인 유해 세균이나 각종 유해한 이물질과 은의 접촉 면적이 넓어지면서 이물질이나 각종 유해 세균이 최대한 포획되기 때문에, 증기의 살균 효과가 극대화될 수 있다.As shown in FIG. 4, the silver foam 51 has a plurality of pores 53 formed therein to allow steam to pass therethrough. The silver foam 51 is made of silver in the form of a substantially block-shaped foam (form), and is generated by the steam generator 35 to sterilize steam passing through the steam discharge portion 41. In particular, since the silver foam 51 is formed in the form of a foam in which a plurality of pores 53 are formed therein, the contact area between the silver and the harmful bacteria mixed with the steam and various harmful foreign matters is widened while the steam passes between the pores 53. Since foreign substances and various harmful bacteria are captured as much as possible, the sterilizing effect of steam can be maximized.

여기서, 은의 특성에 대해 간략하게 설명하면, 은은 항균효과가 높고 안전성이 우수한 금속으로써 항균제의 주성분으로 사용항균의 주역은 무기계 항균제이다. 항균효과가 있는 금속에는 수은(Hg) 등이 있으나 안전성 확보면에서 실제 사용되는 금속은 은(Ag), 동(Cu), 아연(Zn) 등 3종류가 있다. 무기계 항균제는 위 3종류의 금속 중에서 한가지 혹은 2가지 이상 혼합하는 항균성분을 이룬다. 은, 동, 아연 중에서 특히 은은 항균효과도 높고 안전성도 높아서 무기계 항균제의 중심적 성분을 이룬다. 현재 여러 무기계 항균제 중에서 대부분 은을 중심으로 한 은계 무기항균제가 주종을 이룬다.Here, briefly explaining the characteristics of silver, silver is a metal having high antibacterial effect and excellent safety, and the main component of the antibacterial agent is an inorganic antibacterial agent. There are mercury (Hg) and the like, but there are three kinds of metals that are actually used in terms of securing safety: silver (Ag), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn). Inorganic antimicrobial agents comprise one or two or more of the above three types of metals. Among silver, copper, and zinc, silver has a high antimicrobial effect and high safety, thus forming a central component of the inorganic antimicrobial agent. Currently, among the various inorganic antimicrobial agents, the silver-based inorganic antimicrobial agent, mainly silver, is the predominant species.

또한, 은폼(51)은 가습기의 내부에 설치되는 일반적인 살균필터 등과 비교할 때, 그 수명이 반영구적이어서, 가습기의 수명이 다할 때까지 거의 교체하지 않아도 되므로, 일반 살균필터 등과 같이 사용 중에 자주 교체해 주어야 하는 작업이 요구되지 않아서, 사용이 용이할 뿐만 아니라 교체 설치비 등의 코스트도 많이 절감되는 등의 장점이 있다.In addition, the silver foam 51 is semi-permanent as compared to the general sterilization filter installed in the humidifier, so that almost no need to replace until the end of the life of the humidifier, such as general sterilization filter should be replaced frequently during use Since the work is not required, it is easy to use and the cost of the replacement installation cost is also greatly reduced.

가열부(61)는 은폼(51)의 반경 둘레방향을 따라 배치되어, 은폼(51)을 가열한다. 본 실시예에서는 가열부(61)로서 링 형상의 가열판이 도시되어 있지만, 가열부(61)로서 히팅 코일이 은폼(51)의 반경 둘레방향을 따라 마련될 수도 있다.The heating unit 61 is disposed along the radial circumferential direction of the silver foam 51 to heat the silver foam 51. In the present embodiment, a ring-shaped heating plate is illustrated as the heating unit 61, but a heating coil may be provided along the radial circumferential direction of the silver foam 51 as the heating unit 61.

가열부(61)는 돌출턱(25)에 착탈가능하게 안착되며, 가열부(61)는 돌출턱(25) 내주에 마련된 도시 않은 전극에 전기적으로 연결되어 전원을 공급받아 은폼(51)을 가열하게 된다.The heating unit 61 is detachably seated on the protruding jaw 25, and the heating unit 61 is electrically connected to an electrode (not shown) provided at the inner circumference of the protruding jaw 25 to receive power to heat the silver foam 51. Done.

따라서, 은폼(51) 및 가열부(61)를 본체의 돌출턱(25)에 착탈함에 따라, 은폼(51) 및 가열부(61)를 간편하게 유지 보수할 수 있게 된다.Therefore, as the silver foam 51 and the heating portion 61 are attached to and detached from the protruding jaw 25 of the main body, the silver foam 51 and the heating portion 61 can be easily maintained.

한편, 본 발명에 따른 가습기의 물탱크(31) 내에는 보조 은폼(65)이 마련되어 있다. 보조 은폼(65)은, 도 4에 도시된 바와 같이, 은의 재질을 함유하고 물이 통과하도록 내부에 복수의 기공(67)을 형성하며, 보조 은폼(65)은 전술한 은폼(51)과 동일한 구성과 특성을 가지므로, 이하에서는 그 설명을 생략하기로 한다. 이에, 보조 은폼(65)에 의해 물탱크(31)로부터 본체(11)의 수조(13)로 공급되는 물은 예비적으로 살균 가능하게 된다.On the other hand, the auxiliary silver foam 65 is provided in the water tank 31 of the humidifier according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 4, the auxiliary silver foam 65 contains a material of silver and forms a plurality of pores 67 therein to allow water to pass therethrough, and the auxiliary silver foam 65 is the same as the silver foam 51 described above. Since the configuration and characteristics, the description thereof will be omitted below. Accordingly, the water supplied from the water tank 31 to the water tank 13 of the main body 11 by the auxiliary silver foam 65 can be preliminarily sterilized.

이러한 구성에 의하여, 물탱크(31)로부터 본체(11)의 수조(13)로 물이 공급되면, 수조(13)에 유입된 물은 증기발생부(35)로서 초음파 진동자의 진동에 의해 안개 상태의 증기를 발생시킨다. 수조(13)로부터 발생된 증기는 은폼(51)의 기공(53)들 사이를 통과하면서 증기에 섞인 유해 세균이나 각종 유해한 이물질이 은폼(51)에 포획되고, 증기배출부(41)를 통하여 외부로 배출되는 증기는 살균되며, 쾌적한 실내 습도를 유지하고 사용자의 건강에 기여할 수 있게 된다.By this structure, when water is supplied from the water tank 31 to the water tank 13 of the main body 11, the water which flowed into the water tank 13 is a mist generating | generating part 35 by the vibration of an ultrasonic vibrator as a mist state. To generate steam. The steam generated from the water tank 13 passes between the pores 53 of the silver foam 51, and harmful bacteria and various harmful foreign substances mixed in the steam are trapped in the silver foam 51, and the outside through the steam discharge part 41. The steam emitted to the sterile is sterilized, it is possible to maintain a comfortable indoor humidity and contribute to the user's health.

또한, 가열부(61)를 가열하여 은폼(51)을 통과하는 증기를 가열함으로써, 증기배출부(41)를 통해 외부로 배출되는 증기의 온도를 상승시켜, 면역력이 약한 환 자나 노인에게 배출되는 증기로 인해 감기 등과 질병을 예방할 수 있으며, 또한 증기배출부(41)를 통해 외부로 배출되는 증기를 원활하게 확산할 수 있게 된다.In addition, the heating unit 61 is heated to heat the steam passing through the silver foam 51, thereby increasing the temperature of the steam discharged to the outside through the steam discharge unit 41, which is discharged to patients with weak immunity or the elderly Due to the steam can prevent a cold and the like, it is also possible to smoothly diffuse the steam discharged to the outside through the steam discharge portion (41).
