【発明の詳細な説明】 産業上の利用分野 本発明は加熱蒸発式加湿機に関するものである。[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to a heating evaporation type humidifier.
従来の技術
近年、加熱蒸発式加湿機は清掃の容易性が得られること
が求められている。BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, there has been a demand for heating evaporative humidifiers that are easy to clean.
従来この種の加湿機はたとえば特公昭６０−３２７７２
号公報に記載されているものが一般的であった。Conventionally, this type of humidifier was manufactured by, for example, the Japanese Patent Publication No. 60-32772.
The one described in the No. 1 publication was common.

清掃が必要な構成となっていた。In conventional systems like this, the water in the humidifying dish is boiled and steam containing no impurities is released into the air, so calcium, magnesium, silicon dioxide, etc. dissolved in the water are absorbed into the water in the humidifying dish. The impurities are precipitated and deposited in the humidifying dish. As the operation continued, the impurities that precipitated and accumulated stuck to the humidifying tray and became firmly attached to the humidifying tray, forming so-called steam.

あった。Problems to be Solved by the Invention In such conventional humidifiers, if they are not cleaned frequently, heat conduction from the heating element to the heated water will be inhibited, leading to a decrease in heating efficiency, or the connecting pipes will be blocked. There were issues such as cutting off the water supply and shortening the lifespan of the humidifier as a whole.

なる。Effect of the present invention Due to the above-described configuration, dissolved impurities contained in humidifying water are sequentially deposited inside the sucking body and between the sucking body and the metal foil during humidification, and almost no impurities are deposited on the surface of the heating element or inside the water tank. It doesn't stick. Therefore, if the volume of the suction body is set to be large enough to precipitate the dissolved impurities contained in the amount of humidifying water used in one season, it is possible to supply humidifying water for one season, and there is no need to clean the suction body after use. Since dissolved impurities are not precipitated on the surface of the heating element at the time of replacement, the suction element can be replaced very easily.

水タンク１２の水出入口１５を開いている。Further, the cover 7 covers the upper part of the suction body 6 and has an outlet 8 on the top surface through which steam passes. The float support tube 9 protrudes into the center of the water tank 2, and includes a float 1o whose upper part is coated with a thin cylindrical magnet, and a float 1o.
A float switch 11 is provided which is activated depending on the position of the float switch 11. Also, a valve rod 13 is provided on the bottom surface of the water supply tank (hereinafter referred to as water tank) 12. A water inlet/outlet 15 having a valve 14 is provided, the water tank 12 is placed on the humidifier body 1, and a valve stem 13 is provided.
contacts the upper surface of the float support tube 9 and pushes up the valve 14 to open the water inlet/outlet 15 of the water tank 12.

が滑り、部品交換が容易となる。In the above configuration, when tap water is supplied to the water tank 12 and set in the humidifier main body 1, the valve stem 13 is attached to the float support tube 9.
The valve 14 is opened by being pushed up, and the water in the water tank 12 is poured into the water tank 2. When the water level reaches the water inlet/outlet 15 position of the water tank 12, the valve 14 opens the water tank 12.
The water supply stops and the water level remains at this position. In this state, the lower end of the suction body 6 is partially submerged in water, so the water in the tank 2 is It is guided around the heating element 3 by capillary action.When electricity is applied to the heating element 3, the water around the heating element 3 boils and evaporates, and is discharged into the room from the outlet 8.Generally, tap water contains water. It contains water-soluble impurities (calcium, magnesium, silicon dioxide, etc.), and when the water is evaporated, only pure water evaporates, and the impurities are precipitated and fixed in the suction body 6 as scale. If the body 6 is made of a fibrous material, the area on which the precipitated scale adheres is large, so that the humidifying ability can be maintained for a long time.On the other hand, a metal foil 5 is inserted between the heating element 3 and the suction body 6. Therefore, the water in the water tank 2 rises inside the suction body 6 without contacting the heating element 3, and the heat of vaporization is transferred from the heating element 3 to the metal foil 5.
The water is supplied to the suction body 6 through. In addition, since the partition plates 4 are attached at right angles to both ends of the metal foil 5, the precipitated scale does not go around the inside of the suction body 6.
Even if it sticks between the heating element 3 and the metal foil 5, it will not stick between the heating element 3 and the metal foil 5. Therefore, after one season of use, the heating element 3
When removing the suction body 6, the space between the heating element 3 and the metal foil 5 slides, making it easy to replace parts.
なお、吸い上げ体６の好ましい材料例を挙げると、耐熱

などである。In addition, preferable examples of materials for the suction body 6 include heat-resistant fibers, and more specifically, glass fibers, silica fibers, alumina fibers, carbon fibers, and composite fibers thereof.

る。Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above examples, according to the present invention,
Impurities in the water are not released into the room, resulting in clean humidification, and the precipitated scale adheres to the suction body and the metal foil surface on the side of the suction body, and does not adhere to the surface of the heating element, so the suction body with metal foil and partition plate is It is possible to provide a humidifier that can be easily removed from the heating element and can be reused by replacing this part, which has practical effects.
