DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0035] A preferred embodiment of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, it should be noted that, when adding reference numerals to constituent elements of each drawing, the same reference numerals are given to the same constituent elements even if they are shown in different drawings. In addition, when the present application is described, when it is judged that a detailed description of a related known member or function can make the gist of the present application obscure, a detailed description thereof is omitted.

[0036] Figure 1 is a perspective view schematically showing the outer shape of a humidifier module of an embodiment of the present application, Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view schematically showing the configuration of a humidifier module of an embodiment of the present application.

[0037] The humidifier module 30 of an embodiment of the present application is a device that receives water from a separate water supply device, atomizes the received water, and discharges it to an external space, and is configured to be able to automatically receive water for humidification directly from a separate water supply device.

[0038] The water supply device can employ a tap water supply device such as tap water, or can employ a water supply pump that pumps and supplies water from a separate humidification water storage tank that stores water for humidification.

[0039] That is, the humidifier module 30 of an embodiment of the present application is configured to be able to automatically receive water from a separate water supply device without the user personally replacing the water for humidification.

[0040] Such a humidifier module includes a base body 100, a water tank body 200, a spray generation module 300, a discharge cap 350, and a discharge guide member 360.

[0041] The base body 100 is connected with a water supply device in a manner to receive water from the water supply device. A water tank receiving portion 101 capable of inserting and receiving the water tank body 200 is formed at one side of the base body 100. A supply port 110 capable of receiving water from the water supply device is formed at a lower end of the water tank receiving portion 101.

[0042] The water tank body 200 is formed to be inserted and seated in the water tank receiving portion 101 of the base body 100, and stores water supplied through the water supply device. An inflow port 210 capable of communicating with the supply port 110 of the base body 100 is formed at a lower end portion of the water tank body 200. An opening and closing valve 220 capable of opening and closing the inflow port 210 is installed to the inflow port 210.

[0043] If the communication structure of the water tank body 200 and the base body 100 is described more specifically, as shown in Figure 3a and Figure 3b , the supply port 110 is formed at a lower end of the base body 100, and a connection hose 32 of the water supply device is coupled to the supply port 110. The water tank body 200 is formed to enable the inflow port 210 to communicate with the supply port 110 in a state in which the water tank body 200 is inserted and seated in the base body 100. As shown in Figure 3a , the opening and closing valve 220 of the inflow port 210 is configured to pass through the inflow port 210 upward and downward, and protrude downward, and to close the inflow port 210 in a state in which the opening and closing valve 220 is pressed downward by an elastic spring 221. When the water tank body 200 is inserted and seated in the base body 100, as shown in Figure 3b , the opening and closing valve 220 is pressed upward by the base body 100 and moves upward, and accordingly the inflow port 210 is opened.

[0044] Thus, while the water tank body 200 is inserted and seated in the base body 100, the inflow port 210 is opened, and thus water supplied from the water supply device is converted into a state in which the water flows into the inside of the water tank body 200. Therefore, when the water supply device is operated to supply water in a state in which the water tank body 200 is inserted and seated in the base body 100, even without a separate opening and closing operation, the water can flow into the water tank body 200.

[0045] Further, when the water tank body 200 is separated from the base body 100, the opening and closing valve 220 closes the inflow port 210 by the elastic force. Therefore, when the water tank body 200 is separated in order to clean the water tank body 200 or the like, even if water remains in the water tank body 200, the water is not discharged to the outside through the inflow port 210, but is stably maintained in the inside of the water tank body 200.

[0046] The spray generation module 300 is seated and coupled to the upper portion of the water tank body 200, and is configured to atomize water stored in the water tank body 200 by the ultrasonic vibrator 370, and discharge the atomized spray particles to the outside through the discharge fan 380. The discharge passage 301 is formed in the inside of the spray generation module 300 in a manner to discharge the spray particles to the outside.

[0047] The discharge cap 350 is seated at the upper end of the discharge passage 301, and is formed with the discharge port 351 at one side in a manner to direct the discharge direction of the spray particles discharged through the discharge passage 301 to one direction.

[0048] The discharge guide member 360 is disposed at the lower portion of the discharge cap 350 in a manner to prevent the spray particles of a reference size or more from being discharged through the discharge port 351. The discharge guide member 360 can be detachably coupled to the discharge cap 350.

[0049] The configuration of the spray generation module 300, the discharge cap 350, and the discharge guide member 360 will be described in more detail below.

[0050] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the spray generation module 300 can include a humidifying case 310, a vibration guide body 320, an air duct case 330, and a cover case 340. Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the spray generation module 300 can include a humidifying case 310, a vibration guide body 320, an air duct case 330, and a cover case 340.

[0051] The humidifying case 310 is seated and coupled to the upper portion of the water tank body 200, and is formed with the discharge passage 301 at one side. The humidifying case 310 can be formed in a manner to form an accommodation space in the inside by being divided into an upper case 311 and a lower case 312. The discharge fan 380 is installed in the inside of the humidifying case 310, and the air flow generated by the discharge fan 380 is guided to the discharge passage 301 through the air duct case 330. The discharge passage 301 is connected to the inside space of the vibration guide body 320, and the spray particles generated in the inside of the vibration guide body 320 are discharged to the outside along the discharge passage 301.

[0052] The water level sensor 400 can be installed in the humidifying case 310. The water level sensor 400 can measure the water level H of the water tank body 200, and the inflow amount of water through the water supply device can be adjusted according to the water level measured by the water level sensor 400. That is, based on the operation of the humidifier module 30, when the water level in the water tank body 200 decreases, this is sensed by the water level sensor 400, and the water supply device is operated by a separate control portion, whereby automatic water supply can be achieved in a manner to maintain the water level in the water tank body 200 within a reference water level range.

[0053] The vibration guide body 320 is formed in one side of the humidifying case 310 so as to extend downward at the bottom surface portion of the water tub body 200, and is internally configured with the ultrasonic vibrator 370. The vibration guide body 320 can be formed as a hollow column shape with the upper portion open, and configured so as to be formed with a plurality of through-holes at the lower and side surfaces so as to allow water stored in the water tub body 200 to freely pass therethrough. The ultrasonic vibrator 370 can be mounted at the bottom surface portion of the vibration guide body 320, and receive power to perform ultrasonic vibration, thereby atomizing water stored in the water tub body 200.

[0054] The air duct case 330 is mounted inside the humidifying case 310, and guides the air flow generated by the air supply fan 380 to the discharge passage 301. As shown in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 6 indicated, the air duct case 330 can include an air duct guide portion 331 configured inside the vibration guide body 320 so as to form the discharge passage 301, an air duct portion 332 guiding and supplying the air flow generated by the air supply fan 380 to the air duct guide portion 331, and a vortex guide portion 333 protrusively formed at the outer side surface of the air duct guide portion 331 so as to convert the air flow guided by the air duct portion 332 into a vortex inside the discharge passage 301. Further, the air duct case 330 can further include a substrate support portion 334 capable of supporting the PCB substrate 390.

[0055] The air flow flowing through the air duct portion 332 flows along the vortex guide portion 333, and is converted into a vortex inside the internal space of the air duct guide portion 331. Thus, since the air flow is converted into a vortex inside the discharge passage 301, the spray particles atomized by the ultrasonic vibration move more actively together with the vortex, and are discharged to the outside through the discharge port 351. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the humidification amount from decreasing, and increase the humidification amount. At this time, a separate air flow guide portion 335 can be formed inside the air duct guide portion 331 so as to guide the diffusion of the vortex of the air. The air flow guide portion 335 can be formed as a disc shape inclined downward toward the center, and a plurality of air flow holes can be formed at the center portion and the outer region of the center portion.

[0056] The cover case 340 is seated at the upper portion of the humidifying case 310, and is formed with a discharge port 341 at one side so as to form the discharge passage 301. A humidification operation button 345 for operating the operation of the humidifier module 30 can be configured in the cover case 340.

[0057] The discharge cap 350 can be inserted and seated in the discharge hole 341 of the cap housing 340. The discharge cap 350 can be formed in a disc shape to have a margin portion protruding downward, and can be inserted and seated in the discharge hole 341. A seating portion 342 can be formed on an inner circumferential surface of the discharge hole 341 to protrude toward a center in a manner that the discharge cap 350 can be seated.

[0058] The discharge guide member 360 can include a blocking disc 361 that is detachably coupled to a lower surface of the discharge cap 350 in a manner that the blocking disc 361 is positioned in a center portion of an upper end portion of the discharge passage 301 in a disc shape, and a blocking wing 362 that is protrusively formed on one side of an outer circumferential surface of the blocking disc 361 and is formed to have a gap G (refer to FIG. 6) between a protruding end and an inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301. Figure 5 ) in a state in which the blocking disc 361 is coupled to the discharge cap 350.

[0059] Referring to Figure 5 A fixing clip 363 can be formed on an upper portion of the blocking disc 361, and a latching portion 352 that enables the fixing clip 363 to be engaged and coupled can be formed on a lower surface of the discharge cap 350. The blocking disc 361 can be detachably coupled to the discharge cap 350 by the fixing clip 363.

[0060] The blocking wing 362 is protrusively formed on one side of the outer circumferential surface of the blocking disc 361 and is formed to be positioned in a vertical lower portion of the discharge port 351 in a state in which the blocking disc 361 is coupled to the discharge cap 350. The blocking wing 362 is formed to have the gap G from the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301, and more particularly, is formed to have the gap G from an inner end of the seating portion 342 formed in the discharge hole 341.

[0061] At this time, the gap G is formed to pass fine spray particles that are smaller than a reference size among the spray particles, and to block large spray particles that are equal to or larger than the reference size to induce coagulation. For example, the gap G can be formed in a range of 1 to 2 mm.

[0062] Further, the blocking wing 362 is formed to be inclined upward from the blocking disc 361 toward the protruding end, and the protruding end can be formed to be parallel to the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301 in a manner that a constant gap is maintained from the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301. Since the blocking wing 362 is formed to be inclined, the large spray particles that are coagulated around the gap G can be guided downward.

[0063] With this structure, as the spray particles discharged from the discharge channel 301 are discharged to the outside through the discharge port 351, the blocking wings 362 located below the discharge port 351 block the large spray particles, allowing only the fine spray particles to be discharged. Since only the fine spray particles pass through the gap G between the blocking wings 362 and the discharge channel 301, only the fine spray particles are discharged to the outside through the discharge port 351. The large spray particles are guided to condense while passing through the gap G and fall back into the interior of the water tank body 200.

[0064] In this manner, since only fine spray particles are discharged through the discharge port 351 , splashing of water droplets around the discharge port 351 is prevented, thereby preventing the surrounding area from being wetted or contaminated.

[0065] In particular, by positioning the blocking wings 362 vertically below the discharge outlet 351, large spray particles that are discharged directly from the discharge channel 301 into the discharge outlet 351 can be more effectively blocked. Furthermore, by positioning the blocking wings 362 only vertically below the discharge outlet 351, spray particles are not blocked from being discharged into the discharge outlet 351 in other areas, thereby preventing a decrease in the overall humidification rate. In areas other than the vertically below the discharge outlet 351, rising spray particles may collide with the lower surface of the discharge cap 350 and condense, passing through the discharge outlet 351 along a longer path. During this process, some of these particles may evaporate and be discharged as fine spray particles. Therefore, by positioning the blocking wings 362 vertically below the discharge outlet 351, it is possible to prevent the discharge of large spray particles while also preventing a decrease in the humidification rate.

[0066] On the other hand, Figure 5 As shown, since a gap G is formed between the placement portion 342 formed in the discharge hole 341 of the cover shell 340 and the end of the blocking wing 362, huge spray particles may condense in the peripheral area of ​​the gap G. In order to enable such condensed particles to move smoothly along the discharge channel 301 to the lower part of the water tank body 200, an inclined surface 343 that is inclined downward toward the center direction can be formed at the end portion on the inner side of the center direction of the placement portion 342.

[0067] Furthermore, a hollow cylindrical guide portion 313 may be formed on one side of the humidifier housing 310 to form the exhaust passage 301. A boss portion 314 is formed horizontally at the upper end of the hollow guide portion 313 to receive the receiving portion 342 of the cover housing 340. A protruding support portion 315 may be formed on the upper surface of the boss portion 314 to protrude upwardly and support the receiving portion 342.

[0068] Thus, by forming the boss portion 314 and the protruding support portion 315 at the upper end of the hollow guide portion 313 of the humidifying case 310, condensation particles generated at the periphery of the gap G are prevented from flowing into the internal space of the humidifying case 310 and can smoothly move to the lower portion of the sink body 200. That is, the condensation particles generated at the periphery of the gap G move downward along the end inclined surface 343 of the seating portion 342, are blocked from flowing into the inside of the humidifying case 310 by the boss portion 314 and the protruding support portion 315, and move to the lower portion along the inner circumferential surface of the hollow guide portion 313.

[0069] On the other hand, an exhaust flow guide portion 316 can be formed in the internal space of the hollow guide portion 313 in a manner to guide the exhaust flow of the spray particles. The exhaust flow guide portion 316 is in the form of a hollow column with the upper and lower ends open and is formed in a manner in which the horizontal cross-sectional area becomes smaller as it goes toward the upper portion, and a plurality of through-holes 317 can be formed on the side surface in a circumferential direction at regular intervals.

[0070] Through such an exhaust flow guide portion 316, the air flow is diffused in various directions and a more active flow occurs, so that the humidification amount can be further increased.

[0071] At this time, the blocking disc 361 can be configured to maintain the gap G at a predetermined interval from the edge portion of the upper end open surface 318 of the exhaust flow guide portion 316 at the upper portion of the upper end open surface 318. The gap G can be formed to have the same size as the gap G formed by the blocking wing 362, for example, in the range of 1 mm to 2 mm.

[0072] Thus, by also forming the gap G between the blocking disc 361 and the exhaust flow guide portion 316, it is possible to prevent large spray particles from being exhausted again, and in this case as well, since the gap G exists in the entire upper surface area of the exhaust flow guide portion 316, it is possible to prevent the humidification amount from decreasing and to constantly maintain the humidification amount.

[0073] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a conceptual view illustrating an application form of a humidifier module according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.
