Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a humidifier module. More specifically, it relates to a humidifier module that can automatically receive water supply without the user's water replacement operation, prevent water splashing around the discharge port to prevent the surrounding area from getting wet or contaminated, and can be used in a cleaner environment.

Background Art

[0002] Generally, a humidifier is a device that can artificially maintain a desired humidity when appropriate humidity is required due to dry seasons or other factors. That is, a humidifier is a device that atomizes water by electricity or heat, or creates water vapor and blows it into a room.

[0003] Such humidifiers include a heating-type humidifier that heats water with a heater or an electrode rod to generate steam and discharges it into a room space, and an ultrasonic humidifier that atomizes water through ultrasonic vibration and discharges it into a room space. Considering factors such as usage convenience and power consumption efficiency, ultrasonic humidifiers are more widely used than heating-type humidifiers.

[0004] Such humidifiers are made by storing water in a water tank for storing humidification water and then attaching the water tank to the humidifier body to supply water. Therefore, there is an inconvenience that the operation of periodically filling the water tank with new water must be repeated, and there are problems such as difficulty in cleaning the inside of the water tank.

[0005] In addition, in the case of an ultrasonic humidifier, there are problems such as water droplets flying around the discharge port and the surrounding area getting wet or contaminated because the spray particles generated by ultrasonic vibration are condensed in the process of being discharged to the outside through the discharge port.

Patent Document 1

[0007] This invention was created to solve the problems of the prior art, and the objective of this invention is to provide a humidifier module that can be connected to a separate water supply device to automatically receive water without the user having to change the water, making it more convenient and hygienic to use.

[0008] Another object of the present invention is to provide a humidifier module that can be used in a cleaner environment by blocking relatively large atomized particles from those atomized by ultrasonic vibration, so that only fine atomized particles are discharged to the outside, thereby preventing water splashing around the discharge port and preventing the surrounding area from getting wet or contaminated. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The present invention provides a humidifier module that receives water from a separate water supply device, atomizes the supplied water, and discharges it, comprising: a base body connected to the water supply device to receive the water supply; a water tank body inserted and fixed to the base body to store the water supplied through the water supply device; a spray generation module fixedly coupled to the upper part of the water tank body, which atomizes the water stored in the water tank body via an ultrasonic transducer and has a discharge passage formed therein to discharge the atomized spray particles to the outside via a blower fan; a discharge cap fixed to the upper end of the discharge passage, which has a discharge port formed on one side to guide the direction of discharge of the spray particles discharged through the discharge passage in one direction; and a discharge guide member positioned below the discharge cap to block the discharge of large spray particles of a standard size or larger from being discharged through the discharge port.

[0010] At this time, the discharge guide member can be detachably connected to the discharge cap.

[0011] Furthermore, the discharge guide member includes a disc-shaped shut-off disc that is detachably coupled to the lower surface of the discharge cap so as to be located at the center of the upper end of the discharge passage, and a shut-off vane formed to protrude from one side of the outer circumferential surface of the shut-off disc, with the protruding end having a gap with the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage, and the shut-off vane can be formed to be located vertically below the discharge port when the shut-off disc is coupled to the discharge cap.

[0012] Furthermore, the gap between the inner surface of the discharge passage and the blocking vane can be formed so as to allow fine spray particles smaller than a standard size to pass through, while blocking the larger spray particles and inducing condensation.

[0013] Furthermore, the shut-off vanes are formed to be inclined upward from the shut-off disc towards the protruding end, and the protruding end can be formed parallel to the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage so as to maintain a constant distance from the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage.

[0014] Furthermore, the spray generation module includes a humidifying case securely bonded to the upper part of the water tank body with the discharge passage formed on one side; a vibration guide body that extends downward from one side of the humidifying case so as to be located at the bottom of the water tank body and has the ultrasonic transducer arranged inside; a duct case mounted inside the humidifying case to guide the airflow generated by the blower fan to the discharge passage; and a cover case securely attached to the upper part of the humidifying case with a discharge hole formed on one side to form the discharge passage, wherein the discharge passage is connected to the internal space of the vibration guide body and the discharge cap can be inserted and secured into the discharge hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the duct case may include a duct guide section disposed inside the vibration guide body to form the discharge passage; a duct section that guides and supplies the airflow generated by the blower fan to the duct guide section; and a vortex flow guiding section formed protruding from the outer surface of the duct guide section so that the airflow guided by the duct section is converted into a vortex flow inside the discharge passage.

[0016] Furthermore, a mounting portion is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the discharge hole, protruding inward so that the discharge cap can be securely attached, and an inclined surface can be formed on the inner end of the mounting portion in the direction toward the center, which slopes downward as it approaches the center.

[0017] Furthermore, the humidifying case may have a hollow cylindrical guide section formed on one side to form the discharge passage, and a stepped jaw section is formed to extend horizontally from the upper end of the hollow guide section so that the mounting section of the cover case can be attached, and a protruding support section is formed on the upper surface of the stepped jaw section so as to support the mounting section.

[0018] Furthermore, the blocking vane can be formed to have the aforementioned gap between it and the inner end of the attachment portion formed in the discharge hole.

[0019] Furthermore, a discharge flow guide section is formed in the internal space of the hollow guide section to guide the discharge flow of the spray particles. The discharge flow guide section is formed in the shape of a hollow column with open upper and lower ends, and its horizontal cross-sectional area decreases towards the top. Multiple through holes are formed on the side surface so as to be spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The blocking disc can be positioned above the upper open surface of the discharge flow guide section, maintaining a gap so as to be separated from the edge portion of the upper open surface by a certain distance. [Effects of the Invention]

[0020] According to the present invention, by connecting to a separate water supply device, water can be automatically supplied without the user having to change the water, resulting in a more convenient and hygienic user experience.

[0021] Also, by blocking relatively large spray particles among the spray particles atomized by ultrasonic vibration and discharging only fine spray particles to the outside, it is possible to prevent the water splashing phenomenon around the discharge port, prevent the surrounding area from getting wet or contaminated, and have the effect of being able to be used in a cleaner environment.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0023] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. First, it should be noted that when assigning reference numerals to the components in each drawing, identical components will, to the greatest extent possible, have the same reference numeral even if they are shown in other drawings. Furthermore, in describing the present invention, if it is determined that a specific description of a related known configuration or function would obscure the gist of the present invention, such a detailed description will be omitted.

[0024] Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view showing the external shape of a humidifier module according to one embodiment of the present invention, and Figure 2 is an exploded perspective view showing the configuration of a humidifier module according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0025] A humidifier module 30 according to one embodiment of the present invention is a device that receives water from a separate water supply device, atomizes the received water, and discharges it into the outside space, and is configured to be able to receive humidifying water directly and automatically from a separate water supply device.

[0026] The water supply system can be a tap water supply system, or it can be a water supply pump that pumps water from a separate humidification water storage tank.

[0027] In other words, the humidifier module 30 according to one embodiment of the present invention is configured to automatically receive water from a separate water supply device without the user having to directly replace the humidifying water.

[0028] Such a humidifier module comprises a base body 100, a water tank body 200, a spray generation module 300, a discharge cap 350, and a discharge guide member 360.

[0029] The base body 100 is connected to a water supply device to receive water from the water supply device. A water tank housing section 101 is formed on one side of the base body 100, into which a water tank body 200 can be inserted and housed. A supply port 110 is formed at the lower end of the water tank housing section 101 to receive water from the water supply device.

[0030] The water tank body 200 is formed to store water supplied through a water supply device while being inserted and secured into the water tank housing section 101 of the base body 100. An inlet port 210 is formed at the lower end of the water tank body 200, which can communicate with the supply port 110 of the base body 100. An on / off valve 220 is attached to the inlet port 210, which can open and close the inlet port 210.

[0031] Looking more specifically at the communication structure between the water tank body 200 and the base body 100, as shown in Figure 3, a supply port 110 is formed at the lower end of the base body 100, and a connecting hose 32 for the water supply device is connected to the supply port 110. The water tank body 200 is formed so that when the water tank body 200 is inserted and secured to the base body 100, the inlet port 210 can communicate with the supply port 110. The on / off valve 220 of the inlet port 210 is positioned to penetrate the inlet port 210 vertically and protrude downward, as shown in Figure 3(a), and closes the inlet port 210 when it is pressed downward by an elastic spring 221. When the water tank body 200 is inserted and secured to the base body 100, as shown in Figure 3(b), the on / off valve 220 is pressed upward by the base body 100 and moves upward, thereby opening the inlet port 210.

[0032] As the aquarium body 200 is inserted and secured into the base body 100, and the inlet port 210 is opened, the system is converted to a water inflow open state, allowing water supplied from the water supply device to flow into the aquarium body 200. Therefore, if the water supply device is operated and water is supplied while the aquarium body 200 is inserted and secured into the base body 100, water can flow into the aquarium body 200 without any additional opening or closing operations.

[0033] Furthermore, if the aquarium body 200 is separated from the base body 100, the on / off valve 220 will close the inlet port 210 by elastic force. Therefore, when the aquarium body 200 is separated for cleaning or other purposes, even if water remains in the aquarium body 200, the water will not be discharged to the outside through the inlet port 210 but will be stably maintained inside the aquarium body 200.

[0034] The spray generation module 300 is securely attached to the top of the water tank body 200 and is configured to atomize the water stored in the water tank body 200 via an ultrasonic transducer 370, and to discharge the atomized spray particles to the outside via a blower fan 380. An exhaust passage 301 is formed inside the spray generation module 300 to allow the spray particles to be discharged to the outside.

[0035] The discharge cap 350 is fixed to the upper end of the discharge passage 301, and a discharge port 351 is formed on one side to guide the direction of discharge of the spray particles discharged through the discharge passage 301 in one direction.

[0036] The discharge guide member 360 is positioned below the discharge cap 350 to block large spray particles exceeding a standard size from being discharged through the discharge port 351. The discharge guide member 360 can be detachably coupled to the discharge cap 350.

[0037] The configurations of the spray generation module 300, the discharge cap 350, and the discharge guide member 360 will be explained in more detail below.

[0038] The spray generation module 300 may be configured to include a humidification case 310, a vibration guide body 320, a duct case 330, and a cover case 340, as shown in Figures 2 and 4.

[0039] The humidifying case 310 is securely attached to the top of the water tank body 200, and an exhaust passage 301 is formed on one side. The humidifying case 310 can be separated into an upper case 311 and a lower case 312 so that a housing space is formed inside. A blower fan 380 is installed inside the humidifying case 310, and the airflow from the blower fan 380 is guided to the exhaust passage 301 through a duct case 330. The exhaust passage 301 is connected to the internal space of the vibration guide body 320, and the spray particles generated inside the vibration guide body 320 are discharged to the outside along the exhaust passage 301.

[0040] A water level sensor 400 can be installed in the humidifier case 310. The water level sensor 400 can measure the water level (H) in the water tank body 200, and the amount of water flowing in through the water supply device can be adjusted according to the water level measured by the water level sensor 400. In other words, if the water level in the water tank body 200 decreases due to the operation of the humidifier module 30, this is detected by the water level sensor 400, and the water supply device is activated via a separate control unit 500 to automatically supply water so that the water level in the water tank body 200 is maintained within the standard water level range.

[0041] The vibration guide body 320 is formed as a downward extension on one side of the humidification case 310 so as to be located at the bottom of the water tank body 200, and an ultrasonic transducer 370 is placed inside it. The vibration guide body 320 can be formed as a hollow column with an open top, and multiple through holes are formed on the bottom and sides so as to allow water stored in the water tank body 200 to pass through freely. The ultrasonic transducer 370 can be attached to the bottom of the vibration guide body 320 and, upon receiving power, vibrates ultrasonically to atomize the water stored in the water tank body 200.

[0042] The duct case 330 is installed inside the humidification case 310 and guides the airflow generated by the blower fan 380 into the discharge passage 301. As shown in Figures 2, 4, and 6, the duct case 330 may include a duct guide section 331 positioned inside the vibration guide body 320 to form the discharge passage 301, a duct section 332 that guides and supplies the airflow generated by the blower fan 380 to the duct guide section 331, and a vortex flow guiding section 333 that protrudes from the outer surface of the duct guide section 331 so that the airflow guided by the duct section 332 is converted into a vortex flow from inside the discharge passage 301. The duct case 330 may further include a substrate support section 334 that can support the PCB substrate 390.

[0043] The airflow through the duct section 332 flows along the vortex flow guide section 333 and is converted into a vortex flow from the internal space of the duct guide section 331. As the airflow is converted into a vortex flow from inside the discharge passage 301 in this way, the atomized spray particles, atomized by ultrasonic vibration, move more actively with the vortex flow and are discharged to the outside through the discharge port 351. Therefore, a decrease in humidification amount can be prevented and the humidification amount can be increased. At this time, a separate airflow guide section 335 can be formed inside the duct guide section 331 to guide the air vortex flow so that it is diffused. The airflow guide section 335 can be formed in the shape of a disc that slopes downward towards the center, and multiple airflow holes can be formed in the central part and the outer region of the central part.

[0044] The cover case 340 is fixed to the top of the humidifier case 310 and has a discharge hole 341 formed on one side to form a discharge passage 301. A humidification operation button 345 for operating the humidifier module 30 can be placed on the cover case 340.

[0045] The discharge cap 350 can be inserted and secured into the discharge hole 341 of the cover case 340. The discharge cap 350 is formed in a disc shape with its edge protruding downwards so that it can be inserted and secured into the discharge hole 341. A securing portion 342 can be formed on the inner circumferential surface of the discharge hole 341, protruding towards the center so that the discharge cap 350 can be secured therein.

[0046] The discharge guide member 360 can be configured to include a shut-off disc 361 which is disc-shaped and detachably coupled to the lower surface of the discharge cap 350 so as to be located in the center of the upper end of the discharge passage 301, and a shut-off vane 362 which is formed to protrude from one side of the outer circumferential surface of the shut-off disc 361 so as to have a gap (G) (see Figure 5) between the protruding end and the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301.

[0047] Referring to Figure 5, a fixing clip 363 can be formed on the upper part of the shut-off disc 361, and a system stopper 352 can be formed on the lower surface of the discharge cap 350, into which the fixing clip 363 can engage and connect. The shut-off disc 361 can be detachably connected to the discharge cap 350 via the fixing clip 363.

[0048] The shut-off vane 362 is formed to protrude from one side of the outer circumferential surface of the shut-off disc 361, and is positioned vertically below the discharge port 351 when the shut-off disc 361 is coupled to the discharge cap 350. The shut-off vane 362 is formed to have a gap (G) with the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301, but more specifically, it is formed to have a gap (G) with the inner end of the attachment portion 342 formed in the discharge hole 341.

[0049] At this time, the gap (G) is formed so that fine spray particles smaller than the standard size can pass through, while large spray particles larger than the standard size are blocked, thereby inducing condensation. For example, the gap (G) can be formed in the range of 1 to 2 mm.

[0050] Furthermore, the blocking vanes 362 are formed to tilt upward from the blocking disc 361 towards the protruding end, and the protruding end can be formed parallel to the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301 so as to maintain a constant gap with the inner circumferential surface of the discharge passage 301. By forming the blocking vanes 362 to tilt, large spray particles that have condensed around the gap (G) can be guided downward.

[0051] With this structure, as the spray particles discharged through the discharge passage 301 are discharged to the outside through the outlet 351, large spray particles are blocked by the blocking vane 362 located below the outlet 351, and only fine spray particles are discharged. Since only fine spray particles pass through the gap (G) between the blocking vane 362 and the discharge passage 301, only fine spray particles are discharged to the outside through the outlet 351. Large spray particles are induced to condense as they pass through the gap (G) and fall back into the water tank body 200.

[0052] Since only fine spray particles are discharged through the discharge port 351 in this manner, the phenomenon of water droplets splashing around the discharge port 351 is prevented, thus preventing the surrounding area from getting wet or contaminated.

[0053] In particular, by positioning the blocking vane 362 vertically below the discharge port 351, large spray particles discharged directly from the discharge passage 301 to the outlet 351 can be blocked even more effectively. Also, by positioning the blocking vane 362 only vertically below the discharge port 351, spray particles are not blocked from being discharged to the discharge port 351 in other areas, thus preventing an overall decrease in humidification. In areas other than vertically below the discharge port 351, upward-moving spray particles can collide with the underside of the discharge cap 350 and condense, causing them to pass through the discharge port 351 via a slightly longer path. In the process, some of the particles evaporate and are discharged as fine spray particles. Therefore, by positioning the blocking vane 362 vertically below the discharge port 351, the discharge of large spray particles can be blocked while preventing a decrease in humidification.

[0054] On the other hand, as shown in Figure 5, a gap (G) is formed between the attachment portion 342 formed in the discharge hole 341 of the cover case 340 and the end of the blocking vane 362. As a result, the condensation phenomenon of large spray particles can occur around the gap (G). However, to allow these condensed particles to move smoothly along the discharge passage 301 to the lower part of the water tank body 200, an inclined surface 343 is formed on the inner end of the attachment portion 342 in the direction toward the center, which slopes downward as it approaches the center.

[0055] Furthermore, a hollow cylindrical hollow guide portion 313 can be formed on one side of the humidifying case 310 to form a discharge passage 301. A stepped jaw portion 314 is formed to extend horizontally from the upper end of the hollow guide portion 313 so that the attachment portion 342 of the cover case 340 can be attached thereto, and a protruding support portion 315 can be formed on the upper surface of the stepped jaw portion 314 so as to support the attachment portion 342 by protruding upward.

[0056] In this way, the stepped jaw portion 314 and the protruding support portion 315 are formed at the upper end of the hollow guide portion 313 of the humidifying case 310, preventing condensed particles generated around the gap (G) from flowing into the internal space of the humidifying case 310, allowing them to move smoothly to the lower part of the water tank body 200. Specifically, the condensed particles generated around the gap (G) move downward along the inclined end surface 343 of the anchoring portion 342, their inflow into the humidifying case 310 is blocked through the stepped jaw portion 314 and the protruding support portion 315, and they move downward along the inner circumferential surface of the hollow guide portion 313.

[0057] On the other hand, a discharge flow guide section 316 can be formed in the internal space of the hollow guide section 313 to guide the discharge flow of spray particles. The discharge flow guide section 316 is formed in the shape of a hollow column with open upper and lower ends, and its horizontal cross-sectional area decreases towards the top. Multiple through holes 317 can be formed on the side so as to be spaced apart along the circumferential direction.

[0058] Through this discharge flow guide section 316, the airflow is diffused in various directions, generating a more active flow, which in turn can further increase the humidification rate.

[0059] At this time, the blocking disc 361 can be positioned to maintain a gap (G) such that it is separated from the edge portion of the upper end open surface 318 of the discharge flow guide section 316 by a certain distance. The gap (G) can be formed to be the same size as the gap (G) formed by the blocking vane 362, for example, in the range of 1 mm to 2 mm.

[0060] In this way, a gap (G) is formed between the blocking disc 361 and the discharge flow guide section 316, which further blocks the discharge of large spray particles. In this case as well, since the gap (G) exists across the entire upper surface area of ​​the discharge flow guide section 316, a decrease in humidification can be prevented and the humidification rate can be kept constant.

[0061] Figure 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an exemplary application of a humidifier module according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] As shown in Figure 7, the humidifier module 30 according to one embodiment of the present invention can be used together with a humidifier and water purifier.

[0063] Such a humidifier and water purifier may include a main case 10 that has a purified water storage tank 21 for storing purified water and a humidifier storage tank 31 for storing humidifying water inside, a water purifier module 20 that operates to pump purified water from the purified water storage tank 21 and discharge it through the water intake port 23, and a humidifier module 30 that pumps water from the humidifier storage tank 31 to atomize it and discharges the atomized spray particles through the discharge port 351 of the discharge cap 350.

[0064] The humidifying storage tank 31 can be inserted into and removed from the main case 10 via a slide rail 34, and a connecting port 26 can be connected to the rear end of the humidifying storage tank 31. One end of a connecting hose 32 is connected to the connecting port 26, and the other end of the connecting hose 32 can be connected to the supply port 110 of the humidifier module 30. A separate water supply pump can be connected to the connecting hose 32 to supply water from the humidifying storage tank 31 to the humidifier module 30.

[0065] The purified water storage tank 21 can also be connected to the main case 10 via a slide rail 25 so that it can be inserted into and removed from the main case 10, and the connecting port 26 of the purified water storage tank 21 can be connected to the water intake 23 via a connecting line 24. A water supply pump can be connected to the connecting line 24 to supply water to the water intake 23.

[0066] Thus, the humidifier module 30 can be used by being added to a separate product such as a water purifier, or it can be used as an independent product connected to a separate water supply device.
