Abstract

PURPOSE:To form an excellent external appearance shape by composing a tray placed on a body of a plant pot shape to store water, humidifying means contained in a body to guide humidified air out of the body, and water supply means for supplying water stored in the tray to a water reservoir of the humidifying means. CONSTITUTION:When an ultrasonic vibrator 5 and a blower 9 are energized, water supplied into a water reservoir 4 is atomized by the vibrator 5. On the other hand, the air sucked from a suction port 2 by the blower 9 is guided to the lower chamber of a body 1 through a blowing cylinder 12, and water atomized by the vibrator 5 is sprayed out of the body 1 from a spraying port 17. When water is poured in a tray 37, water is supplied to the reservoir 4 by supplying the water to the reservoir 4 by a water supply pump 19. Since the body 1 is formed in a plant pot shape, it matches to the interior of a room and does not lose a beautiful appearance of the room.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (b) Industrial application field The present invention relates to a humidifier for humidifying a room.

(b) Conventional technology As a conventional humidifying device, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-25941
The one shown in the publication No. (F24F 6/12) and the like is known. However, the external shape of the humidifying device shown in this publication cannot be said to match the interior of a boat fishing room, and has the drawback of detracting from the aesthetic appearance of the room.

(c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention was made in view of the above drawbacks, and an object of the present invention is to provide a humidifying device with an excellent external appearance that can match the interior of a room.

(d) Means for Solving the Problems The present invention comprises a flowerpot-shaped main body, a saucer for placing the main body and storing water, and a humidifying means housed within the main body for guiding humidified air to the outside of the main body. This device is characterized by comprising a water supply means for supplying water stored in a saucer to a water tank of a humidifying means, and a plant-shaped ornament whose lower part is supported by the main body.

(e) Since the main body is shaped like a flowerpot, it matches the interior of the room and does not spoil the aesthetics of the room.

Further, when the water is supplied to the tray on which the main body is placed, the water is automatically supplied to the water tank of the humidifying means by the water supply means, so that the work of supplying water to the water tank is simplified.

(f) Examples An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below based on the drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a main body made of synthetic resin formed in the shape of a flowerpot, with an air intake port 2 formed on the side surface and a water passage hole 3 formed on the bottom surface.

4 is a water tank installed in the main body 1, and an ultrasonic vibrator 5 is installed on the bottom surface. Reference numeral 6 denotes a fan casing attached to the bottom surface of the water tank 4, on which a motor 7 is attached, and a fan 8 attached to the output shaft of the motor 7 is disposed in a space surrounded by the fan casing 6. A blower 9 is formed by the motor 7 and the fan 8, and when the blower 9 is driven, air taken in from the intake port 2 is sucked through the communication hole 10 of the fan casing 6.
The air is guided upward through the aquarium 4 via an air blower 1 [12] which is erected upward from the bottom of the aquarium 4 through an air passage 11 communicating with the aquarium 4.

Reference numeral 13 denotes a partition plate placed above the water 1'l 14, which includes a hanging tube 14 that covers the ultrasonic vibrator 5 and the blower tube 12, and inside this hanging tube 14; It has a communication cylinder 15 that communicates the upper space and the lower space. A spray cylinder 16 is fixed to the partition plate 13 and covers the outer periphery of the communication cylinder 14, and has a spray port 17 facing outside from the top surface of the main body 1, and the water atomized by the ultrasonic vibrator 5 is The air sent from the blower tube 12 into the hanging tube 14 is used to spray the outside of the main body 1 via the spray tube 16.

Reference numeral 18 denotes a water supply pump mounted on the partition plate 13, whose lower end supplies water to the water tank 4 via a water supply pipe 19 extending to the lower part of the main body 1.

Reference numeral 20 denotes a water level holding switch formed on the water 1114, which is controlled to open and close by a float 22 supported vertically by a rib 21 formed upward from the bottom of the water 1114 and a magnet 23 of the float 22. Ruri-Dos Inch 2
It is composed of 4. When the water level in the water tank 4 is above a certain level, the reed switch 24 is closed by the magnet 23 of the float 22 to operate the ultrasonic vibrator 5 and the blower 9, so that the water level in the water tank 4 is lower than the certain position. When the pressure decreases, the float 22 lowers and the reed switch 24 opens to stop energizing the ultrasonic vibrator 5 and the blower 9.

25 is a water filling switch formed in the water tank 4;
It consists of a float 27 that is vertically movably supported by a rib 26 formed upward from the bottom surface, and a reed switch 29 that is controlled to open and close by a magnet 28 of the float 27. When the water level in the water 1IIJ falls below a predetermined level, the magnet 28 of the float 27 causes the reed switch 29 to open and operate the water supply pump 18.
Water in a saucer 37, which will be described later, is supplied to the tank 4 to keep the water level in the tank 4 above a certain level, and when the water level in the tank 4 reaches a certain level or above, the float 27 rises and the reed switch 29 opens. Then, the supply of electricity to the water supply pump 18 is stopped.

30 is a safety switch formed at the inner bottom of the main body 1;
It is composed of a float 32 that is vertically movably supported by a rib 31 formed to hang down from the fan casing 6, and a reed switch (not shown) that is controlled to open and close by a magnet (not shown) of the float 32, which will be described later. When the water level in the saucer 37 falls below a predetermined water level, the ultrasonic transducer 5
, the power supply to the blower 9 and water pump 18 is stopped.

Reference numeral 33 denotes a decorative plate that is removably placed on the partition plate 13, and a decorative object 34 in the shape of a decorative stone, decorative moss, etc. is fixed to the top surface.

35 passes through the decorative plate 33 and connects to the support portion 3 of the partition plate 13.
This is a plant-shaped ornament that is detachably supported on the holder 6.

37 is a tray on which the main body 1 is placed, and water is stored in the tray 37.

When the ultrasonic vibrator 5 and the blower 9 are energized, the water supplied into the water WI4 is atomized by the ultrasonic vibrator 5. On the other hand, air taken in from the intake port 2 by the blower 9 is guided to the lower chamber of the main body 1 via the blower tube 12, and water atomized by the ultrasonic vibrator 5 is sprayed from the spray port 17 to the outside of the main body 1. do.

Water is supplied to the water tank 4 by pouring water into the saucer 37 and then supplying the water to the water tank 4 by the water supply pump 19.

Since the main body 1 is formed in the shape of a flowerpot, it matches the interior of the room and does not spoil the aesthetics of the room.

In the present embodiment, water is supplied to the saucer 37, but a water pouring pipe is made to hang down from the decorative tray 35, and the water poured into the decorative tray 35 is supplied to the saucer 37 via the water pouring pipe. It may be configured as follows. With this configuration, water can be supplied in the same way as watering plants.

(g) Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, since the main body is formed in the shape of a flower pot, it does not match the interior of the room and spoils the aesthetic appearance of the room. In addition, since water is stored in the saucer on which the main body is placed and the water is supplied to the water tank of the humidifying means, the amount of water stored can be easily checked and water can be easily poured into the saucer. This has the effect of increasing the amount of water stored.
