Description

Reservoir tank of humidifier air cleaner {WATER TANK OF AIR WASHER}

The present invention relates to a water storage tank and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, an internal water tank and an external water tank are integrally molded so that the upper or lower side of the installation space is opened, and the manufacturing space is manufactured by blocking the installation space with a cover to produce a water storage tank. It relates to a reservoir of a humidified air purifier that reduces and improves workability.

In general, an air purifier removes dust or contaminants contained in the air by passing the outside air through a filter, and forcibly sucks the outside air by using a fan to allow the outside air to pass through the filter. The air is filtered through the exhaust process.

Conventional air cleaners are classified into a filter type and an electric dust collecting type. The filter type filters dust and contaminants in the air while passing the filters. In the electric dust collecting type, dust and contaminants in the air are adsorbed to the dust collector by an electric field.

Recently, as the management of the indoor environment becomes more important, the trend of increasing the humidification air washer that can provide air purification and humidification is increasing.

As shown in FIG. 1, the humidifying air purifier includes a reservoir 2 containing water, a disc assembly 6 for humidifying the water of the reservoir 2 by rotation, and a reservoir 2 covering the reservoir 2. It consists of a cover 4 in which an outlet is formed.

In the humidifying air cleaner, when the outside air is introduced through the inlet of the cover 4 by the blower fan, the introduced air passes through the individual disks of the disk assembly 6, and foreign substances such as dust are adsorbed on the disks, As water is removed from the disk, the water on the disk naturally evaporates, humidifies, and is exhausted through the outlet.

Reservoir tank (2) of the humidifier air purifier is because it serves to contain water, so it must be firm so as not to be easily broken, it consists of an inner tank and an outer tank.

The above-mentioned invention means the background art of the technical field to which the present invention belongs, and does not mean the prior art.

However, the existing water tank has a problem in that the manufacturing cost is increased, and the work is cumbersome because work must be performed by ultrasonic welding over the entire connection portion of the inner tank and the outer tank after assembling the parts.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a reservoir of a humidifying air purifier that can be easily assembled by inserting the cover because the coupling is made to the reservoir body by the binding unit.

In order to achieve the above object, the water storage tank of the humidifying air purifier of the present invention comprises: a water tank body formed by integrally molding an internal water tank and an external water tank so that an upper side or a lower side of the installation space part is opened; And a cover assembled to the reservoir body to block the open portion of the installation space.

In addition, the inner tank and the outer tank is characterized in that interconnected by the flange portion.

In addition, the reservoir body includes a sensing unit for sensing the water level stored in the inner tank, the sensing unit is characterized in that the assembly before the cover is assembled to the reservoir body.

The sensing unit may include an upper contact sensor mounted to the flange to expose the inside and the outside of the installation space, respectively; A water level sensor which protrudes into the interior of the installation space and the interior of the inner tank; And a connection wire connecting the upper contact sensor and the water level sensor to each other.

In addition, the outer tank and the cover of the water tank body is seated and assembled by the mounting portion, the mounting portion is a mounting protrusion protruding to the edge of the outer tank; And it characterized in that it comprises a mounting groove formed in the cover so that the wood projections are fitted.

In addition, the outer tank and the cover of the reservoir body is characterized in that it is bound by the binding portion.

In addition, the engaging portion is a hook hook formed on the outer tank or the cover; And a catching groove formed in the cover or the outer tank corresponding to the catching hook.

As described above, the water storage tank of the humidifying air purifier according to the present invention integrally molded the inner and outer water tank so that the upper or lower side of the installation space is opened, and manufacturing the water reservoir by blocking the installation space with a cover to produce a manufacturing cost It can reduce and improve workability.

In the present invention, the cover is coupled to the reservoir body by the binding unit, so that the assembly can be made simply by inserting.
