Hereinafter, the diffuser combined humidifier according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail as follows.

1 is a perspective view illustrating a humidifier combined with a diffuser according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 2 is an exploded perspective view illustrating an exploded state of the humidifier combined with the diffuser shown in FIG. 1 .

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view taken along line III-III' of FIG. 2 .

1 to 3 , a diffuser-combined humidifier 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a device in which a humidifying function and a scent diffusing function are combined, and is a compact device with improved portability. The diffuser and humidifier 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an upper body 100 , a scent diffusing unit 200 , a lower body 300 , a heater 400 , and a filter unit 500 . In some embodiments, the humidifier combined with the diffuser 1 may further include a water absorption column 600 and a water absorption fixing unit 700 .

The upper body 100 and the lower body 300 are coupled to each other, and the scent diffusing unit 200 is inserted into the opening 120 formed in the upper body 100 . The heater 400 and the filter unit 500 are coupled to the upper body 100 and inserted into the lower body 300 . Specifically, the heater 400 and the filter unit 500 are configured to surround the periphery of the scent diffusing unit 200 inserted into the opening 120 of the upper body 100 , and are inserted into the lower body 300 . On the other hand, when the heater 400 and the filter unit 500 are coupled to the upper body 100 to separate the upper body 100 from the lower body 300 , the lower body while maintaining the state coupled to the upper body 100 . separated from (300).

The upper body 100 is disposed on the upper end of the diffuser and humidifier 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention, and prevents the components from being separated out.

The upper body 100 is composed of an upper portion including an injection port 110 through which water vapor is discharged and an opening 120 through which the scent diffusing unit 200 is inserted, and a lower portion including a protrusion for coupling with the lower body 300 . there is.

1 and 2 , the upper body 100 has an injection port 110 through which water vapor generated by vaporized water is sprayed on one side. The injection hole 110 may be configured in plurality along the circumference of the upper body 100 so that water vapor can be sprayed in all directions. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the injection hole 110 may be configured as one, and may be formed in a structure in which injection is concentrated in one direction. The shape of the injection hole 110 may be appropriately selected so that water vapor can easily pass through and easily disperse to the outside.

Also, the upper portion of the upper body 100 has an opening 120 into which the scent diffusing unit 200 is inserted, as shown in FIG. 2 . In this case, the opening 120 may be configured to be slightly larger than a portion inserted into the upper body 100 of the scent diffusing unit 200 . Specifically, the opening 120 of the upper body 100 may be configured in a shape having a larger diameter than the diameter of the portion inserted into the upper body 100 of the scent diffusing unit 200 . For example, the diameter of the opening 120 may be 1 to 5 mm larger than the diameter of the scent diffusing unit 200 . If the diameter of the opening 120 and the diameter of the scent diffusing unit 200 differ by less than 1 mm, it may be difficult to insert the scent diffusing unit 200 into the upper body 100, and similarly, it may be difficult to separate. Conversely, when the diameter of the opening differs from the diameter of the scent diffusing unit 200 by more than 5 mm, the scent diffusing unit 200 can be separated too easily, so that when a humidifier combined with a diffuser is used, the scent diffusing unit 200 is removed from the upper body 100. It may come out and the scent diffusing function may not be possible. However, the diameter condition of the opening 120 is not limited thereto, and the diameter condition of the opening 120 may be variously configured in consideration of errors in the manufacturing process.

The shape of the opening 120 of the upper body 100 may correspond to the shape of the scent diffusing unit 200 inserted into the opening 120 . For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , the scent diffusing unit 200 may have a cylindrical shape, and the opening 120 may have a circular shape corresponding to the cylindrical outer surface of the scent diffusing unit 200 . However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the shape of the opening 120 may be a polygonal shape, an oval shape, or the like.

The heater 400 is located in the heating space 320 of the lower body 300 . That is, it is located in the heating space 320 separated from the accommodating space 310 in which the water is accommodated, so that the water accommodated in the accommodating space 310 is not directly heated.

The heater 400 may be configured to surround the outer surface of the scent diffusing unit 200 with a gap of about 2 mm, and may have a cylindrical shape to be inserted into the filter unit 500 .

The heater 400 may be configured as a resistive heater that directly generates heat by an electric current. Preferably, in order to reduce the size of the humidifier 1 combined with the diffuser, the heater 400 may be configured as a film heater. In this case, the heater 400 may have a form in which a heating element is included between two heat-resistant film layers. Alternatively, ink made of a conductive material may be printed on a film.

The filter unit 500 absorbs water so that water vaporizes to generate water vapor.

The filter unit 500 is disposed to surround the outside of the heater 400 in the heating space 320 of the lower body 300 .

The filter unit 500 may be configured in a shape corresponding to the outer shape of the heater 400 so as to surround the outside of the heater 400 . For example, the filter unit 500 may be configured in a cylindrical shape.

The filter unit 500 is made of a fabric and includes a filter 510 that is in contact with the water absorption column 600 to absorb water, and a heating plate 520 that heats the filter by generating heat by the heater 400 .

Accordingly, the filter 510 may receive the water absorbed by the water absorption column 600 in the receiving space 320 of the lower body 300 .

The filter 510 is made of a heat-resistant fabric that can withstand high temperatures. In addition, the filter 510 may be made of a material capable of filtering microcontaminants contained in the air. Specifically, when the external air introduced into the lower body 300 passes through the filter 510, it may be made of a material capable of filtering microcontaminants included in the external air. For example, the filter 510 may be configured as a High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filter capable of effectively filtering out fine dust having a size of 0.3 μm.

In some embodiments, filter 510 may include pores to more effectively trap water. Through this, the amount of water that can be absorbed and retained by the filter 510 is increased and the amount of water vaporized is also increased, so that humidification efficiency can be improved.

The heating plate 520 is disposed between the filter 510 and the heater 400 . The heating plate 520 generates heat by the heater 400 to heat the filter 510 . Specifically, the heating plate 520 heats the filter 510 by transferring heat from the heater 400 disposed adjacently to the filter 510 .

The heating plate 520 may be made of a metal material having corrosion resistance such as stainless steel and excellent thermal conductivity.

The water absorption pillar 600 may have the same height as the receiving space 310 because the water received in the receiving space 310 of the lower body 300 must be delivered to the heating space 320 . For example, as shown in FIG. 4 , the water absorption column may have a rectangular columnar shape with a bottom and an upper surface having the same height as that of the receiving space 310 . However, the shape of the water absorption column 600 is not limited thereto, and the water absorption column 600 may be configured in a cylindrical shape.

The water absorption column 600 may be made of a super absorbent material that absorbs a large amount of moisture within a short time. For example, the water absorption column 600 may be composed of a PVA sponge.

The water absorption pillar fixing part 700 is coupled to the lower body 300 in the receiving space 320 of the lower body 300 to fix the water absorption pillar 600 not to fall. In addition, the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 is disposed at the boundary of the receiving space 310 and the heating space 320 of the lower body 300 so that the water accommodated in the receiving space 310 does not fall over to the heating space 320 . It functions as a barrier to block the flow of water.

The water absorption pillar fixing part 700 is configured in a shape corresponding to the shape of the upper surface of the receiving space 320 so as to be closely coupled to the receiving space 320 of the lower body 300 . That is, the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 is configured in the form of a cylindrical lid that can cover the receiving space 320 of the lower body 300 . The water absorption column fixing part 700 is on the outer peripheral surface A screw thread and a screw trough are provided along the outer circumferential surface so as to be coupled with the lower body 300 . The water absorption pillar fixing part 700 is bound to the lower body 300 through a screw thread and a screw trough, and cuts off the receiving space 310 and the heating space 320 of the lower body 300 . The connection between the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 and the lower body 300 will be described later with reference to FIG. 5 .

The water absorption pillar fixing part 700 has a through portion into which the water absorption pillar 600 can be fitted. The through portion may have a shape corresponding to the shape of the water absorption column 600 . For example, as shown in FIG. 2 , when the water absorption pillar 600 has a rectangular pillar shape with a rectangular bottom, the penetrating portion of the water absorption fixing unit 700 may have a rectangular shape.

As shown in FIG. 3 , the water absorption pillar 600 is inserted into the penetration part of the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 , and the upper surface of the water absorption pillar 600 is the penetration part of the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 . exposed to the outside through The exposed upper surface of the water absorption column 600 is in contact with the filter 510 , and water absorbed through the water absorption column 600 may be provided to the filter 510 through the exposed upper surface of the water absorption column 600 . there is.

The lower body 300 is coupled to the lower portion of the upper body 200 and provides a space for accommodating the components of the diffuser and humidifier 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The lower body 300 may be made of heat-resistant plastic, glass-ceramic, stainless steel, or the like.

The lower body 300 is composed of an outer cylinder constituting the outside of the lower body 300 and an inner cylinder constituting the inner surface of the lower body 300 and providing a space for accommodating water and components of the humidifier combined with a diffuser (1). do.

The outer cylinder constitutes the outside of the lower body 300 and protects the components of the humidifier 10 combined with the diffuser. The outer cylinder has a hollow interior, a perforated top surface, and a closed bottom surface. In this case, the bottom surface of the outer cylinder may have a plurality of holes for introducing external air.

The inner cylinder provides a space for accommodating water and components of the diffuser and humidifier (1). As shown in FIG. 3 , the inner cylinder is divided into an accommodating space 310 for accommodating water and a heating space 320 for vaporizing water. The water absorption pillar 600 and the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 may be positioned in the accommodation space 310 . In the heating space 320, the scent diffusing unit 200, the heater 400 disposed to surround the outside of the scent diffusing unit 200, and the filter unit 500 disposed to surround the outside of the heater 400 may be located. .

The inner cylinder of the lower body 300 is configured in a shape in which cylinders of different sizes are combined in the accommodating space 310 and the heating space 320 . Specifically, if the inner cylinder of the receiving space 310 is configured in a cylindrical shape having a specific diameter, the inner cylinder of the heating space 320 may be configured in a cylindrical shape having a larger diameter than in the receiving space 310 . At this time, the inner cylinder has an empty interior, the top surface is perforated, and the bottom surface has a closed shape.

Due to the difference in diameter of the inner cylinder in the accommodation space 310 and the heating space 320 , a step is generated at the boundary between the accommodation space 310 and the heating space 320 . The stepped surface is formed in a circular band shape along the circumference of the boundary between the receiving space 310 and the heating space 320 , and a plurality of holes may be formed in the stepped surface. At this time, the hole of the step surface extends long along the receiving space 310 and communicates with the holes formed in the lower surface of the outer cylinder. That is, as shown in FIG. 4 , a slit-shaped through hole 330 is formed between the inner and outer cylinders of the lower body 300 .

Since the lower body 300 has the above-described through hole 330 , external air may be introduced from the lower portion of the through hole 330 . The introduced external air moves to the heating space 320 of the lower body 300 through the through hole 330 and rises, and absorbs water evaporated in the heating space 320 to thereby absorb the water vapor injection hole 110 of the upper body 100 . ) is released through Accordingly, air circulation can be made smoothly, and the humidification effect can be maximized.

FIG. 5 is a partially enlarged perspective view for explaining the coupling structure of the upper body, the lower body, the water absorption column, and the water absorption fixing part of FIG. 2 .

Referring to FIG. 5 , the lower body 300 has a first coupling part 340 that allows the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 to be detachably coupled to the receiving space 310 . In addition, the lower body 300 has a second coupling part 350 that allows the upper body 100 to be detachably coupled to the heating space 320 .

The first coupling part 340 allows the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 to be coupled to the lower body 300 .

The first coupling part 340 is located inside the inner cylinder. Specifically, the first coupling part 340 is located at the upper end of the receiving space 310 of the lower body 300 .

The first coupling portion 340 has a screw thread and a screw bone protruding along the circumference. In this case, the screw thread of the first coupling part 340 corresponds to the screw trough formed along the outer circumferential surface of the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 , and the screw thread of the first coupling part 340 is the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 . It corresponds to the thread formed along the outer peripheral surface.

After aligning the thread of the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 with the screw of the first coupling part 340 of the lower body 300, and rotating it in one direction, the water absorption pillar fixing part 700 and the lower body 300 is screwed together. If, in the coupled state, the water absorption fixing part 700 is turned in the other direction, the water absorption fixing part 700 and the lower body 300 may be separated.

Meanwhile, the second coupling part 350 of the lower body 300 allows the upper body 100 and the lower body 300 to be coupled to each other.

The second coupling part 350 is located inside the inner cylinder like the first coupling part 340 , and is located at the top of the heating space 310 of the lower body 300 .

When turned, the coupling protrusion of the upper body 100 is inserted at the end of the second coupling part 350 bent in the 'C' shape, and rotation is no longer possible. At this time, the coupling protrusion of the upper body 100 is fitted into the end groove bent in the 'C' shape of the second coupling part 350 . Since the coupling protrusion of the upper body 100 cannot be separated from the 'C'-shaped end to the upper and lower portions, the upper body 100 and the lower body 300 are bound. If, in the coupled state, the upper body 100 is turned in the opposite direction, the coupling protrusion of the upper body 100 comes out of the groove at the end bent in the 'C' shape of the second coupling part 350, and the upper body ( Since the coupling protrusion of 100 is detachable to the upper part of the second coupling part 350 , the upper body 100 and the lower body 300 may be separated.

The humidifier 1 combined with a diffuser according to an embodiment of the present invention may provide a humidifying function by vaporizing the contained water. Referring to FIG. 3 , the process of providing the humidification function will be described. First, the lower body 300 receives water in the accommodation space 320 . The water absorption column 600 absorbs water in the accommodation space 320 and delivers it to the filter 510 in contact with the water absorption column 600 . At this time, the heating plate 520 disposed in contact with the inside of the filter 510 by the heater 400 is heated, and the water absorbed by the filter 510 is heated by the heat transmitted from the heating plate 520 . When the water absorbed by the filter 510 is vaporized to generate water vapor, the water vapor is discharged to the outside through the injection port 110 of the upper body 100 . In this case, external air flows into the heating space 310 of the lower body 300 through the through hole 330 of the lower body 300, and the external air that has absorbed water vapor is discharged through the water vapor injection hole of the upper body 100 ( 110) to the outside. Through this, the humidification function is implemented.
