Description

[Detailed description of the invention] (a) Field of industrial application This invention relates to a humidifying device, and particularly to a humidifying device that humidifies water by generating mist from water in an aquarium using ultrasonic generating means.

(b) Prior Art Conventional humidifiers use a humidifying mist generated by an ultrasonic generator to be blown out from an outlet.

(c) Problems to be solved by the invention However, in conventional humidifying devices, the direction in which the humidifying mist is blown out from the outlet is always constant, and there is a problem in that humidification is biased in that direction.

In order to solve this problem, a humidifying device that is equipped with a humidifying mist guiding mechanism composed of an electric motor, a deceleration means, a crank member, a guide plate, etc. has the problem that it requires a lot of materials and is complicated to manufacture, resulting in high costs. It was hot. Further, the above-mentioned electric motor needed to have a sealed structure to avoid the influence of water and fog.

This invention was made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and provides a humidifying device having a mechanism for guiding the direction of blowing out humidifying mist, which is simple in structure and manufacture.

(d) Means for solving the problems This invention is a humidifier equipped with a blown mist guide mechanism consisting of a water droplet receiving container, a guide plate, and an interlocking member.

The detailed configuration is that a water tank is provided inside the device body, and an ultrasonic generation means is provided at the bottom of the water tank, and the ultrasonic wave generation means blows out the mist generated from the water tank to the outside of the device body. In a humidifying device equipped with an air blowing means and an air outlet,
The ultrasonic generating means installed near the water tank receives water droplets generated in the water tank, changes its rotational position depending on the amount of water collected, and waits until the rotational position reaches a predetermined position. A water droplet receiving container rotatably supported so that the water spills back into the water tank and returns to its original rotational position; This humidifier is equipped with a mist guide mechanism including an interlocking member interposed between a water droplet receiving container and a guide plate and transmitting changes in the rotational position of the water droplet receiving container to the guide plate.

(E) Action The water droplet receiving container changes its rotational position by receiving water droplets, and the interlocking member transmits this change to the guide plate.
The guide plate guides the mist while changing its position in conjunction with the water droplet receiving container.

(f) Examples This invention will be described in detail based on the examples shown in the drawings, but the invention is not limited thereby.

As shown in FIG. 1, the humidifier 1 has a main body 2
A water tank 3 is disposed inside the water tank 3, and an ultrasonic wave generating means 6 comprising a vibrator 4 made of a piezoelectric material and an electric circuit 5 for generating ultrasonic waves having a frequency of 1.7 MHz, for example, is disposed at the bottom of the water tank 3. In addition, a blowing means 7 and a blowing port 8 are provided for blowing out the mist generated from the water tank 3 by the ultrasonic generating means 6 to the outside of the main body 2 of the device. Reference numeral 9 denotes a tank for storing water to be supplied to the water tank 3, and an ultrasonic wave generating means 6 generates fog and water droplets. Note that the air from the air blowing means 7 flows in the direction of arrow A.

Further, the humidifying device 1 includes a blow-out mist guide mechanism 10 that guides the blow-off direction of mist while changing the blow-out direction.
The blown mist guide mechanism 10 includes a water droplet receiving container 11, a guide plate 12, and an interlocking member 13.

The water droplet receiving container 11 is disposed near the water tank 3 and receives water droplets 14 generated from the water tank 3 by the ultrasonic generating means 6, and changes its rotational position depending on the amount of water collected. , is rotatably supported so that when the rotational position reaches a predetermined position, the accumulated water spills into the water tank 3 and returns to the original rotational position. 15 and 16 are the supporting shaft and bearing, and 1
7 is a weight for returning the water droplet receiving container 11 to its original rotational position. 18 is a socket for receiving water droplets. The water droplet receiving container 11 changes its rotational position in the direction of arrow B.

The guide plate 12 is disposed inside the air outlet 8 so as to be rotatably supported in a variable direction (in the direction of arrow C), and guides the direction in which the generated mist is blown out. Reference numeral 19 is a shaft for supporting the shaft, and reference numeral 20 is a bearing portion of the device main body 2 that receives this shaft 19.

The interlocking member 13 connects the water droplet receiving container 11 and the guide plate 12.
The guide plate 12 interlocks with the guide plate 12 by transmitting changes in the rotational position of the water droplet receiving container 11 (in the direction of arrow D). 21 is a connecting portion with the water droplet receiving container 11, and 22 is a connecting portion with the guide plate 12.

The operation of the humidifying device 1 of this invention will be explained below.

After pouring a predetermined amount of water into the water tank 3 and the tank 9, the ultrasonic generating means 6 and the blowing means 7 are activated. A portion of the water in the water tank 3 becomes water droplets 14 and mist due to the operation of the ultrasonic generating means 6. After the wind from the blowing means 7 travels in the direction of the arrow A, it contains the generated fog and blows out from the air outlet 8 along the guide direction of the guide plate 12.

On the other hand, the water droplets 14 are received in the water droplet receiving container 11. The water droplet receiving container 11 changes its rotational position around the support shaft 15 depending on the amount of water that it receives and collects. This change in the rotational position of the water droplet receiving container 11 is as follows:
It is transmitted to the guide plate 12 via the interlocking member 13. The direction of the guide plate 12 changes according to the above-mentioned changes, and the direction in which the mist is blown out changes. When more water accumulates in the water droplet receiving container 11, the change in rotational position increases and the stored water spills back into the water tank 3 from the receiving port 18. When the water spills back out, the water droplet receiving container 11 returns to its original rotational position by the action of the weight 17. This return change in the rotational position of the water droplet receiving container 11 is also carried out by the guide plate 12 via the interlocking member 13.
, and the guide plate 12 returns to that direction.

In this embodiment, the guide plate changes the mist guiding direction in the upward diagonal direction within the range of θ ₁ to _{θ 2} . In addition to the above, the mist guiding direction of the guide plate may be horizontal.

(g) Effects of the invention This invention is a humidifying device that is simple in structure and manufacture, and has an automatically operating guide mechanism for blowing out humidifying mist.
