Ultrasonic and heating type humidifier with easy temperature control}

The present invention relates to an ultrasonic combination heating humidifier with easy temperature control, and to describe in more detail, a body portion for supplying power; A water tank which is detachably disposed on the body part and has a heating plate, a heat dissipation wall, a vibrator, and a temperature sensor installed on the bottom surface; A water container lid covering the upper surface of the water container; And it is configured to include a control unit for controlling the power; it is easy to clean and replenish water, and in particular, it is configured to continuously humidify warm water while maintaining a constant temperature of the humidification water stored in the water tank at a preset temperature. It relates to an ultrasonic heating type humidifier for easy temperature control.

In general, types of humidifiers can be divided into ultrasonic methods, heating methods, and complex methods according to the spray method. First, an ultrasonic humidifier is a method of atomizing the water stored in a bucket by using a vibrator that generates ultrasonic waves, and then discharging the water vapor to a blower. A heated humidifier is a method that boils the water in the bucket to discharge steam. A humidifier is a method of atomizing the heated water with ultrasonic waves by installing a hot plate in the passage through which the water stored in the bucket flows to the vibrator.

First, the ultrasonic humidifier is an example of a humidifier of Utility Model Registration No. 20-0360050 (August 16, 2004). Although it has the advantage of obtaining a rich amount of spray, water moves from the inside of the bucket or from the bucket to the vibrator. There is a problem that bacteria easily multiply in waterways and the like. In addition, the heated humidifier is for example Utility Model Registration No. 20-0297944 (November 29, 2002), and has the advantage of preventing bacteria from growing inside the bucket, but the amount of spraying is small and during the heating process. It generates noise and consumes a lot of energy.

Lastly, the hybrid humidifier is a method designed to compensate for the shortcomings of the above two methods, but since the water stored in the water tank is not sufficiently heated to 100°C, it has been rarely used in recent years as there is a concern that it may encourage the propagation of bacteria if it is incorrectly managed. Without. Such a combination humidifier is introduced in Patent Publication No. 10-2005-38294 (April 27, 2005).

On the other hand, the structure of the ultrasonic humidifier is configured such that the body portion in which the vibrator is installed and the bucket are separated from each other, and the humidification water stored in the bucket passes through the water channel to the location where the vibrator is located to discharge atomized water vapor. However, these conventional ultrasonic humidifiers have a closed structure, so there is a high risk of germs occurring in the inside of the bucket, in the channel through which water passes, and in the vibrator where water is stored, and it is particularly difficult to clean the bucket and the body. There was a downside.

In order to compensate for these shortcomings, recently, a vibrator is installed on the bottom of an open bucket with an open top so that the vibrator directly generates water particles, and a new structure improved so that the open bucket and the base supporting it can be easily separated. Separate humidifiers have also been developed.

Attached Figure 1 shows the detachable hybrid humidifier introduced in Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0001943 (January 07, 2015), and a main body 60 for storing humidification water; The opening and closing lid 50 in which the humidification outlet 51 is installed to cover the upper surface of the main body 60; A humidifier 70 provided with a vibrator 71 for atomizing water stored in the main body 60; And it is composed of a base 80 having a blowing fan 84 for discharging the humidifying particles in the atomized state to the humidification outlet 51, a humidifying switch 87 for controlling the power and the amount of humidification, and a power control circuit 85. have.

The detachable hybrid humidifier can easily separate the main body 60 and the base 80 so that cleaning and water supply are easy, and the main body ( Water stored in the body 60 can be heated and sterilized, and furthermore, the water stored in the main body 60 using a temperature/humidity switch 66 installed inside the handle 64 and a temperature sensor unit 67 that controls it. It is configured to be able to heat up to a preset temperature.

Utility model registration No. 20-0360050 (August 16, 2004) Utility model registration No. 20-0297944 (November 29, 2002) Patent Publication No. 10-2005-0038294 (April 27, 2005) Patent Publication No. 10-2015-0001943 (January 07, 2015)

In the conventional detachable hybrid humidifier as shown in FIG. 1, it takes a lot of time to heat the humidification water stored in the main body 60 because the heater 74 is hidden under the bottom surface 68 of the main body 60. There is a disadvantage in that it consumes a lot of energy, and since the temperature sensor unit 67 is installed inside the handle 64 at the top of the main body 60, it is difficult to accurately measure the water temperature of the humidification water stored in the main body 60. There is a difficult drawback.

For reference, in the humidifier of FIG. 1, in order to prevent the temperature sensor unit 67 from malfunctioning due to the influence of the heater 74, a temperature sensor unit 67 inside the handle 64 spaced apart from the heater 74 It is presumed to have installed. However, since the inside of the handle 64 is a vent 63 through which the wind from the blowing fan 84 passes, it is not submerged in the humidification water, so it is impossible to accurately measure the water temperature of the humidification water.

In addition, in the humidifier of FIG. 1, the temperature sensor unit 67 is composed of a plurality of temperature sensors 67a, 67b, 67c having different operating temperatures, so that the temperature of the humidification water is among the temperature sensors 67a, 67b, 67c. When it reaches any one of the pre-selected operating temperature, the temperature and humidity switch 66 is configured to be shut off. Therefore, it is not possible to freely set the temperature of the water for humidification other than the operating temperature previously set in the temperature sensors 67a, 67b, 67c, and furthermore, after the temperature and humidity switch 66 is blocked, the temperature of the water for humidification can be kept constant. There is no drawback.

Accordingly, the object of the present invention is to facilitate cleaning of the bucket and replenishing water, and to quickly heat the humidification water stored in the bucket to a preset temperature, and further, while maintaining the humidification water constant at a preset temperature. It is to provide a heated humidifier for both ultrasonics that is configured to continuously humidify warm water.

Another object of the present invention is to provide an ultrasonic combined heating type humidifier that can heat and maintain the temperature of humidifying water at various temperatures, and can be used as an ultrasonic humidifier or as a heated humidifier if necessary.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, since the accompanying drawings show embodiments for more easily explaining the present invention, the scope of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. In addition, even if the configuration is necessary to implement the present invention, it belongs to the known technology, or a detailed description of the configuration that can be easily implemented by a person skilled in the art from the prior art will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 2, the ultrasonic heating humidifier for easy temperature control according to the present invention includes a body part 10 for supplying power, a water container 20 detachably disposed on the body part 10, and the It is configured to include a bucket lid 30 covering the upper surface of the bucket 20, and a control unit 40 for controlling the power supply.

First, the body part 10 supports the water container 20, receives power from the outside, and supplies it to the water container 20, and at one side, a knob for adjusting the amount of water vapor sprayed from the water container 20 (11) is installed, and a power connection terminal 12 for transmitting power to the water tank 20 is installed on the upper surface.

The structure of the power connection terminal 12 may be any of the conventional power connection terminals, but when the water container 20 is placed on the body part 10, power is automatically connected, and the water container 20 is opened. It is desirable to have a structure in which the power is automatically cut off when lifted out.

In addition, the bucket 20 has an inner space for storing humidification water (W) and has an open top surface, and as shown in FIG. 3, an inner wall 20a made of a metal material and an outer wall 20b made of a plastic material. ) Is made of a double structure that is spaced apart by a predetermined distance from each other. A heating plate 21 for heating humidification water W is projected at the center of the bottom surface of the water tank 20, and a heat dissipating wall 22 is installed around the heating plate 21.

In addition, between the inner wall (20a) of the water tank (20) and the heat dissipation wall (22), a vibrator (23) that atomizes the humidification water (W), and measures the water temperature of the humidification water (W). A temperature sensor 24 is installed, and a water temperature input unit 25 capable of arbitrarily setting the temperature of the humidifying water W is provided on the outer surface of the bucket 20.

The heat dissipation wall 22 functions to prevent the temperature sensor 24 from malfunctioning due to the heat of the heating plate 21. And the amount of water vapor atomized by the vibrator 23 is controlled by the knob 11.

The material of the inner wall (20a) and the heating plate (21) of the bucket (20) is preferably a metal material having high thermal conductivity, for example, stainless steel, and the outer wall (20b) of the bucket (20) and the heat dissipation The wall 22 is preferably made of a plastic material having a low thermal conductivity. The water temperature input unit 25 is a touch pad used as a conventional input means, and has a function of arbitrarily setting the temperature of the humidifying water (W). A display window indicating the water temperature may be provided.

In the bucket 20, since the inner wall 20a and the outer wall 20b are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined interval, heat from the inner wall 20a is hardly transferred to the outer wall 20b. In addition, the heating plate 21 protrudes above the bottom surface of the water container 20, and there is a conventional heating wire or a positive-temperature coefficient heater, etc., which are stored in the water container 20 for humidification. Water (W) can be effectively heated within a short time.

A water level sensor 26 may be additionally installed between the inner wall 20a of the water container 20 and the heat dissipation wall 22 to measure the level of the humidification water W. So, when the water level of the humidifying water (W) is lower than the water level sensor (26), it is possible to visually or audibly alarm to replenish the humidifying water (W).

The bucket lid 30 is provided with a spray port 31 for discharging water vapor atomized by the vibrator 23 out of the bucket 20. The spray port 31 has a structure capable of controlling the spraying direction and angle, like the spray port of a conventional humidifier.

Finally, the control unit 40 cuts off the power supplied to the heating plate 21 when the water temperature measured by the temperature sensor 24 reaches a preset temperature in the water temperature input unit 25. In addition, when the water temperature measured by the temperature sensor 24 is lower than the temperature previously set in the water temperature input unit 25, power is supplied to the heating plate 21 again.

Therefore, the temperature of the humidifying water (W) stored in the water tank 20 can always maintain a preset temperature in the water temperature input unit 25. The control unit 40 may be configured as a printed circuit board (PCB). In FIG. 4, the control unit 40 exemplifies a structure installed between the inner wall 20a and the outer wall 20b of the water container 20, but the control unit 40 may be installed inside the body part 10. .
