이하에서, 본 발명에 따른 다공성 세라믹 담체를 활용한 가열식 가습기의 구조도 및 작용효과를 도면을 참조하여 설명한다.Hereinafter, the structural diagram and the effect of the heating humidifier using a porous ceramic carrier according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 다공성 세라믹 담체를 활용한 가열식 가습기의 사시도이며, 도 2는 본 발명에 따른 다공성 세라믹 담체를 활용한 가열식 가습기의 분해 사시도이다.1 is a perspective view of a heated humidifier using a porous ceramic carrier according to the present invention, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view of a heated humidifier using a porous ceramic carrier according to the present invention.
도 1 및 도 2에 도시된 바와 같이, 본 발명에 따른 다공성 세라믹 담체를 활용한 가열식 가습기(10)는 본체(11), 베이스(12), 뚜껑(13) 및 세라믹 담체(14)를 포함하여 이루어진다.1 and 2, the heated humidifier 10 utilizing the porous ceramic carrier according to the present invention includes a main body 11, a base 12, a lid 13 and a ceramic carrier 14 Is done.
본체(11)는 가열식 가습기(10)의 몸체이며, 내부에 물을 수용할 수 있는 공간을 가지며, 세라믹 담체(14)를 포함한 각종 부품들이 장착되는 부분이다.The main body 11 is a body of the heated humidifier 10, has a space for accommodating water therein, and is a part to which various components including the ceramic carrier 14 are mounted.
베이스(12)는 본체(11)의 하면에 조립되며, 뚜껑(13)은 개폐가 가능하도록 본체(11) 위에 위치된다. 뚜껑(13)의 중심부에는 홀이 형성되어 그 홀 내부를 통해 세라믹 담체(14)가 외부로 돌출될 수 있도록 형성된다. Base 12 is assembled to the lower surface of the main body 11, the lid 13 is positioned on the main body 11 to be opened and closed. A hole is formed in the center of the lid 13 so that the ceramic carrier 14 can protrude to the outside through the hole.
세라믹 담체(14)는 히터(16)에 의해 가열되어 내부의 물을 머금고 있는 상태에서 외부로 가열되는 것과 함께 수증기를 배출하게 되므로, 세라믹 담체(14)의 상단부는 외부로 노출되는 것이 바람직하다.Since the ceramic carrier 14 is heated by the heater 16 to be heated to the outside in the state containing the water inside, the water vapor is discharged, and the upper end of the ceramic carrier 14 is preferably exposed to the outside. .
외부로 노출된 세라믹 담체(14)는 히터(16)에 의해 가열되므로 외부에서 접촉하여 화상을 입을 우려가 있으므로 안전사고를 미연에 방지하도록 빗살형태의 망(22)을 씌울 수 있다.Since the ceramic carrier 14 exposed to the outside is heated by the heater 16, the outside may be burned by contact with the outside, so that the comb-shaped mesh 22 may be covered to prevent a safety accident.
뚜껑(13)의 소정 위치에는 삽입홀(24)이 형성되며, 이 삽입홀(24)에는 수위확인바(15)가 삽입되어 본체(11) 내부에 채워진 물의 양을 확인할 수 있도록 한다.An insertion hole 24 is formed at a predetermined position of the lid 13, and the water level checking bar 15 is inserted into the insertion hole 24 so that the amount of water filled in the main body 11 can be confirmed.
세라믹 담체(14)는 다공성 세라믹 재질로 이루어지며, 다공성 세라믹 담체라 칭할 수 있고, 원통형의 형상을 가질 수 있지만 다각형 구조이어도 무방하다.The ceramic carrier 14 is made of a porous ceramic material, may be referred to as a porous ceramic carrier, and may have a cylindrical shape, but may have a polygonal structure.
여기서 다공성 세라믹 재질은 필터 기능을 가지며 수분을 함유할 수 있는 재질이어야 하며, 이러한 재질을 대표할 수 있는 것은 규조토이다.Here, the porous ceramic material should be a material having a filter function and may contain moisture, and diatomaceous earth may represent such a material.
규조토는 백색 또는 회백색으로 수㎛부터 수십㎛의 미세한 조류의 화석으로 규산이 주성분이며, 분말입자는 다수의 조그만 구멍이 있어 이런 성질을 이용하여 여과재 및 흡착제 등으로 널리 쓰이며, 실제 규조토의 성질을 이용한 규조토 여과기가 제품화되고 있다.Diatomaceous earth is white or gray white, fossil of fine algae of several micrometers to several tens of micrometers, and silicic acid is the main component, and powder particles have a lot of small pores, so it is widely used as a filter material and adsorbent. Diatomite filter is commercially available.
세라믹의 성형은 소정 형상의 금형에 세라믹 분말입자와 첨가물 등을 첨가하고 열가압 방식에 의해 다공성 세라믹 담체를 성형시켜 제조할 수 있다. 다만, 이러한 생산 방식은 기타 여러가지 방식에 의해 생산할 수 있으며 본 발명이 생산방식에 의해 제한되는 것은 아니다.The molding of the ceramic can be made by adding ceramic powder particles and additives to a mold having a predetermined shape and molding the porous ceramic carrier by a thermal pressurization method. However, this production method may be produced by various other methods and the present invention is not limited by the production method.
세라믹 담체(14)는 수분을 함유할 수 있는 재질의 다공성 세라믹 담체로 형성되며, 다공성 세라믹 담체는 이물질 등을 필터링 할 수 있는 여과 기능과 수분을 함유할 수 있는 흡수력이 매우 우수하다. The ceramic carrier 14 is formed of a porous ceramic carrier of a material that can contain moisture, and the porous ceramic carrier has a very good filtration function capable of filtering foreign substances and the like and an absorbing ability that can contain moisture.
함유하고 있는 수분은 외부 조건에 따라(외부가 습도가 세라믹 담체의 습도보다 낮을 때) 외부로 배출하게 되는 특성을 갖으며, 특히 본체(11)에 열을 가하게 되면 본체(11) 내부에 함유된 수분은 증기 형태로 증발된다. 더욱이 다공성 세라믹 재질이 규조토로 이루어진 경우 이러한 증기 증발 현상은 더욱 뚜렷하게 나타나게 된다.Moisture contained has the property of discharging to the outside depending on external conditions (external humidity is lower than the humidity of the ceramic carrier), in particular, when the heat is applied to the main body 11 contained in the main body 11 Moisture is evaporated in the form of steam. Moreover, the vapor evaporation phenomenon is more pronounced when the porous ceramic material is made of diatomaceous earth.

도 3은 본 발명에 따른 다공성 세라믹 담체를 활용한 가열식 가습기의 단면도이다.3 is a cross-sectional view of a heated humidifier using a porous ceramic carrier according to the present invention.
본 발명에 따른 다공성 세라믹 담체를 활용한 가열식 가습기(10)는 3개의 공간인 A공간, B공간 및 C공간으로 구분된다.Heated humidifier 10 using a porous ceramic carrier according to the present invention is divided into three spaces A space, B space and C space.
A공간은 물이 채워지는 부분으로서 가습기 내의 물 저장 공간이고, B공간은 세라믹 담체(14), 히터(16) 등이 위치되는 부분으로서 A공간으로부터 유입통로(25)를 통해 물을 받아들이는 공간이며, C공간은 전원온프의 푸쉬버튼(21), 푸쉬버튼(21)의 체결브라켓(19) 및 전기배선과 전기부품들이 내장되는 부분이다.Space A is a water-filled space in the humidifier, and space B is a space in which the ceramic carrier 14, the heater 16, etc. are positioned, and receives water from the space A through the inflow passage 25. C space is the push button 21 of the power-on, the fastening bracket 19 of the push button 21 and the part in which the electrical wiring and electrical components are embedded.
A공간과 B공간은 내원통막(23a)에 의해 구분되며, A/B공간과 C공간은 수평막(23b)에 의해 구분되도록 형성된다.The A space and the B space are separated by the inner cylindrical film 23a, and the A / B space and the C space are formed by the horizontal film 23b.
본체(11)의 A공간으로 물이 공급되고, 물이 채워지는 상태에서 유입통로(25)을 통해 A공간에서 B공간으로 물이 유입된다. 이때, 물의 유입은 유입통로(25)를 통해 서서히 유입되며 유입된 물은 다공성 세라믹 담체(14)에 의해 서서히 흡수된다. Water is supplied to the A space of the main body 11, and water is introduced into the B space from the A space through the inflow passage 25 in the state where the water is filled. At this time, the inflow of water is gradually introduced through the inflow passage 25 and the inflow of water is gradually absorbed by the porous ceramic carrier 14.
유입통로(25)는 내원통막(23a)의 하단부에 형성되며, 홀의 형태로 2군데 이상 형성될 수 있다.The inflow passage 25 is formed at the lower end of the inner cylindrical membrane 23a, and may be formed in two or more places in the form of holes.
세라믹 담체(14)에 흡수된 물은 세라믹 담체(14)의 재질 특성상 외부 조건이 변경되지 않는 한 일정 시간 동안 머금게 된다.Water absorbed in the ceramic carrier 14 will be retained for a predetermined time unless external conditions are changed due to the material characteristics of the ceramic carrier 14.
이 상태에서, 히터(16)에 열을 가하게 되면 세라믹 담체(14) 내에 머금고 있던 수분이 외부로 증기 형태로 증발된다. 증발되는 증기량은 세라믹 담체(14)의 크기, 세라믹 담체(14)가 머금고 있는 수분의 양 및 가열되는 온도 등에 따라 달라질 수 있다.In this state, when heat is applied to the heater 16, the moisture contained in the ceramic carrier 14 is evaporated to the outside in the form of steam. The amount of vapor evaporated may vary depending on the size of the ceramic carrier 14, the amount of moisture contained in the ceramic carrier 14, the temperature to be heated, and the like.
수위확인바(15)는 물이 채워지는 양의 따라 상하로 유동되는 바이며, 상단부에는 물보충 확인부(15a)가 형성되고 아래쪽에는 수조 내부에 위치되는 만수위부(15b)가 형성된다.The level check bar 15 is a bar that flows up and down according to the amount of water is filled, the upper portion is formed with a water replenishment check unit (15a) and the bottom is formed with a full water level (15b) located inside the water tank.
수조 내부에 물이 만수되면 수위확인바(15)는 위로 올라가 만수위부(15b)가 삽입홀(24)에 맞닿아 더 이상 올라가지 않게 되고, 물이 소비되는 양의 따라 수위확인바(15)는 아래로 내려가게 되며 만수위부(15b)가 삽입홀(24)에 맞닿아 더 이상 내려가지 못하면 수조 내에 물을 보충해야 하는 신호가 될 수 있다.When the water in the water tank is full, the water level check bar 15 goes up, the water level 15b is not in contact with the insertion hole 24 anymore, and the water level checking bar 15 depends on the amount of water consumed. If the water level is lowered and the water level 15b is not in contact with the insertion hole 24 anymore, it may be a signal to replenish water in the tank.
유입통로(25)는 세라믹 담체(14)가 물을 흡수하는 양의 따라 A공간에서 B공간으로 물의 유입이 서서히 이루어지도록 하는 역할을 한다.The inflow passage 25 serves to gradually inflow of water from the A space to the B space according to the amount of the ceramic carrier 14 absorbing the water.
이러한 구성을 갖는 가열식 가습기(10)는 친환경적이며, 세라믹 담체(14) 자체가 규조토로 이루어져 가습기 살균제의 사용이 불필요하여 가습기 사용에 있어서의 안전사고 문제를 유발하지 않게 된다. The heated humidifier 10 having such a configuration is environmentally friendly, and the ceramic carrier 14 itself is made of diatomaceous earth, which does not require the use of a humidifier disinfectant, so that a safety accident in using the humidifier is not caused.
또한, 외부로 증발되는 증기는 다공성 세라믹 담체에 의해 필터링이 된 향균 내지 살균된 증기로서 실내의 습도 조절의 쾌적함을 더 할 수 있게 된다.In addition, the vapor evaporated to the outside is a fungal to sterilized steam filtered by the porous ceramic carrier can be added to the comfort of humidity control in the room.
