The humidifier is a device that keeps the dry room air at a moderate humidity by using the principle of spraying the water by spraying water. These humidifiers are divided into ultrasonic humidifiers and heating humidifiers according to the humidification method.

In the ultrasonic humidifier, a vibrator is installed on the bottom of a container for storing water, and ultrasonic waves are generated in the vibrator to emit water vapor. The humidification effect can be seen in a short time due to a large amount of spray. On the other hand, And the microbes may propagate in the water tank and contaminate the humidifier.

The fragrance (aroma) is used to refresh the mood by adding softness to the indoor atmosphere. Therefore, a fragrance or a fragrance is required to have a refreshing feeling and an exhilarating feeling, and in some cases, a feeling of stability of the mind and body and a soothing effect may be required. To use these fragrances with a humidifier, a fragrance for humidifiers has been developed, which is used to wet the humidifier together with directional components.

However, most general perfume fragrances are made up of some natural fragrances and synthetic fragrances, so users sometimes avoid using them because of the degree of fragrance and sometimes it is complicated due to the severity of the fragrance.

The general fragrance (aroma) composition is prepared using various bases of fragrance, alcohol, solubilizer, purified water, and direction product, and there are various problems by using only synthetic fragrance or using synthetic fragrance and some natural oils in combination .

Aroma refers to a fragrance that has a good effect on the body when it is absorbed by the body. Aromatherapy is a method of improving body function using such aroma.

A method of absorbing aroma into the body may include a method of emitting a fragrance to the nose, a method of applying to the skin by using aroma oil, a method of mixing with food, and the like.

Aromatic fragrance can be emitted by burning it with fire or by mixing it with water vapor, by spraying diluted alcohol, by soaking in cotton or the like, by putting it in the nose, by using a humidifier or the like.

The aroma of lavender in aroma relaxes the mind, so it is suitable for sleeping at bedtime, and the aroma of rosemary is stable and intensive induction, so it can be used suitably when the examinee is studying.

Phytoncide is a substance that the plant sprays or secretes to protect itself against the invasion of pathogens, insects and fungi. It is discovered by American bacteriologist Waxman. In phytoncide, which means 'plant' in Russian, And 'cide' which means 'to kill'.

Phytoncide can be absorbed by the human body through the forest bath, relieves stress, strengthens the intestines and cardiopulmonary functions, has a sterilizing action, and the unique phytoncide aroma of the plant can store foods for a long time.

A lot of techniques have been developed to show various therapeutic effects by radiating the undiluted solution or concentrated state of phytoncide and aroma into the air and spreading it in air. According to one embodiment of this prior art, Patent Registration No. 10-1147400 (Phytoncide Phosphorus Apparatus equipped with a level indicator to indicate the amount of phytoncide remaining) by the method described in Korean Patent Application Laid-

The humidifier controller 2000 is connected to the suction fan motor unit 1000 and outputs a corresponding control signal for operating the humidifier, and monitors the operating state of the humidifier.

The humidifier controller 2000 is driven by an app program that can be updated and modified, and the app program can be downloaded remotely via a wireless communication unit.

App (App) program is a kind of application program (appl) is also called.

The directional capacity monitoring unit 3000 is connected to the humidifier control unit 2000 and monitors the remaining capacity of the natural directional water that is installed in an internal portion of the humidifier and supplied to the wet filter.

When the directional capacity monitoring unit 3000 detects a state in which the remaining capacity of the natural directional water is insufficient and inputs the signal to the humidifier control unit 2000, the humidifier control unit 2000 controls the suction fan motor unit 1000, The first fan motor unit 5000 and the second fan motor unit 5000 are set in the inactive state.

The first fan motor unit 4000 is installed in a part of the interior of the humidifier so that the purified air passing through the wet filter is discharged to the outside of the humidifier by the corresponding control signal of the humidifier controller 2000, do.

The second fan motor unit 5000 is disposed in the vicinity of the first fan motor unit 4000 in the humidifier and discharges the purified air passing through the wet filter by the control signal of the humidifier controller 2000 to the outside of the humidifier The natural direction water is evaporated and discharged together.

The first fan motor unit 4000 and the second fan motor unit 5000 are relatively installed so as to blow upwards in order to spread the aroma of the directional water widely.

The wireless communication unit 6000 is installed in a part of the humidifier and is connected to the humidifier control unit 2000. The wireless communication unit 6000 transmits and receives program and operational data while communicating wirelessly with external equipment through a Bluetooth, infrared, WiFi or ZigBee connection .

It is quite natural that the wireless communication unit 6000 can perform wireless communication by configuring any one of Bluetooth, infrared, Wi-Fi, and ZigBee, or wirelessly communicate with each other by using any one or more methods.

The external equipment may include a smart phone or a dedicated data terminal, and if a smart phone or a dedicated data terminal is used, the same humongous app program for the humidifier installed in the humidifier controller 2000 should be installed. Here, the application program for the humidifier is based on one embodiment and will be used for the description of the present invention.

The button driver 7000 is installed at a part of the outer surface of the humidifier and is connected to the humidifier controller 2000 and receives a control command signal from the outside.

The button driving unit 7000 inputs a command signal for controlling the driving state of the humidifier by dividing the driving state of the humidifier into a weak state (step 1) or a strong state (step 2), or selects a day mode (normal mode) and a night mode Can be input.

In the daytime mode, either the first fan motor unit or the second fan motor unit may be driven or one of them may be selected and driven.

The USB port unit 8000 is installed in a part of the humidifier and is connected to the humidifier controller 2000 and is supplied with operating power necessary for driving the humidifier from the outside. Meanwhile, the USB port unit 8000 inputs an app program, various data, and command signals by controlling and monitoring the humidifier controller 2000, and may output operating data (information) in the humidifier.

The charging / discharging battery unit 9000 is installed in an internal portion of the humidifier and connected to the humidifier controller 2000. The humidifier 2000 supplies electricity to the humidifier by discharging the electricity, stores the operating power by charging, It corresponds to the car battery.

When the external power is input through the USB port unit 8000 connected to the USB port unit 8000, the humidifier control unit 2000 controls the entire humidifier to be connected to the external power input from the USB port unit 8000 And supplies the charging current to the charging / discharging battery unit 9000 while controlling to be driven.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the USB port unit 8000 is not connected, the humidifier controller 2000 controls the entire humidifier to be driven by using the power of the charge / discharge battery unit 9000.

3, the suction fan motor unit 1000, the humidifier control unit 2000, the directional capacity monitoring unit 3000, the first fan motor unit 4000, the second fan motor unit 5000, and the second fan motor unit 5000 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. A method of operating the aromatherapy type humidifier 900 including the wireless communication unit 6000, the button driving unit 7000, the USB port unit 8000 and the charge / discharge battery unit 9000 and using the natural directional water, In operation S110, the operation program or the humidifier application program and various data necessary for operation are loaded from the self-contained corresponding storage area, so that the operation program is set to the operable state.

It is determined by the humidifier control unit that the capacity of the directional capacity is sufficient to be operated by the humidifier, and it is determined whether a signal set in the ON state of the operation button is inputted through the button driving unit (S120).

When the humidifier control unit confirms a signal input in the ON state, the suction fan motor unit and the first fan motor unit are set to an active state and driven (S130).

At this time, the suction fan motor unit supplies the outside air around the humidifier to the humidifier while supplying the outside air to the humidifier.

The wet filter is made of nonwoven fabric or the like and can be folded in a bellows shape to increase the filtering area and is immersed in natural water.

Dust, foreign substances, and the like are removed and converted into fresh air, and fresh air converted by the driving of the first fan motor unit is discharged to the outside of the humidifier do. At this time, by the inflow and outflow of air, the liquid of the natural direction water is vaporized and the vaporized natural water is forced out of the humidifier together with the fresh air.

Natural oriental water is known to stabilize people's nerves, cleanse their mind and lower their blood supply.

The humidifier control unit checks whether a control command signal for setting the sleep mode or the night mode is input (S140).

The control command signal is inputted through the button driving unit or is automatically counted by the humidifier application program, and is operated in the sleep mode or the night mode at the designated time.

When the humidifier control unit is set to the night mode, it is very natural that only the first fan motor unit is controlled to be activated to be driven, and if necessary, the rotational speed of the first fan motor unit can be adjusted as weak as 50%. Therefore, in the night mode or the sleep mode, the consumption amount of the water in the water direction can be reduced.

When the humidifier control unit is driven in the night mode or the sleep mode, the humidifier is driven only for a designated time. When the counting of the designated time is completed, the humidifier control unit sets each functional unit in the inactive state and ends the driving until another command signal is additionally inputted (Standby mode) (S150).

The designated time or rest time is any one time value selected from the range of 1 to 3 hours, and it is relatively preferable to designate the time by about one and a half hours, and each of these times can be added or subtracted as needed. Specifying a time of 1 hour and 30 minutes as a break is usually mentally stable within this time and can be asleep if you go to bed. That is, the standby mode is automatically operated when the designated time elapses, so that the sleep mode can be used.

Meanwhile, the humidifier control unit can distinguish the daytime mode and the nighttime mode by using an LED lamp (not shown), and the first and second driving states can be separately displayed by using LED lamps or the like. It is quite natural that each of these operating states can cause a generally known audio signal to be selectively output. In other words, active music or audio signals may be outputted in the daytime mode, quiet music or natural sound may be output in the nighttime mode, and these audio signals may be recorded in the allocated storage areas and may be changed, .

If it is determined that the control command signal of the second stage (strong) is inputted (S160), the humidifier control unit further drives the second fan motor unit in the state where the first fan motor unit is driving (S170).

On the other hand, when the control command signal of the second stage is inputted but the first fan motor unit is not driven due to a fault or the like, the humidifier control unit may increase the rotational speed of the second fan motor unit to twice or more the rotational speed during normal operation . In addition, when a failure occurs in the second fan motor unit, the rotation speed of the first fan motor unit can be increased to twice or more the rotation speed during normal operation and driven.

When it is determined that the directional capacity shortage detection signal is input from the directional capacity monitoring unit (S180), the humidifier control unit notifies the corresponding person or user wirelessly of the message, sets each functional unit in the inactive state, (S190).

FIG. 4 is a view showing an outline of an aromatherapy type humidifier using natural directional water according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The first fan motor unit 4000 and the second fan motor unit 5000 are arranged so as to blow up the fan motor unit 1000 in the upward direction, As shown in Fig.

On the other hand, the USB port portion 8000 and the button driving portion 7000 are installed on a part of the upper part of the front surface.

Since the purified water is supplied by using the humidifier and the natural water is naturally evaporated according to the selected operating mode, the aromatherapy treatment for improving and maintaining the health by controlling the humidity of the room is possible have.

In addition, there is an advantage that the use time of the direction number can be increased by controlling the consumption amount of the direction number by the mode selection.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
