Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent precipitation of white powder even if water from a city water system is directly inputted and used, by incorporating ion exchanged resin by a cartridge method. CONSTITUTION:An ion exchange resin cartridge 8 is filled with ion exchanged resin 13 between a cartridge case 10 having a water outlet port 9 on the side surface and an intermediate bottom 12, in which a water inlet port 11 and a water injecting projection 3 are provided. A water tank 14 is formed by the cartridge case 10 and the intermediate bottom 12. A water tank 2 containing water from a city water system is set on a main body 5 of a moisture applying device. Then, the water injecting projection 3 opens a water injecting cap 1. The water from the city water system is collected in the water tank 14 at first. Then, the water passes in the horizontal direction from the water inlet port 11 to the ion exchange resin 13. Various ions are removed, and the water is guided to an ultrasonic wave oscillator 4.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to an ultrasonic humidifier used for home or business use.

(Conventional technology) A conventional ultrasonic humidifier will be explained with reference to FIG.

The ultrasonic humidifier includes a water tank 2 equipped with a water filling cap 1,
It is composed of a humidifier main body 5 equipped with a water injection protrusion 3 and an ultrasonic oscillator 4, and a humidifying cover 7 equipped with an air outlet 6,
The water filling cap 1 is pushed open by the water filling protrusion 3, and
Water flowing out of the water tank 2 is atomized by the ultrasonic oscillator 4 and released into the air.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, when tap water is used as it is in an ultrasonic humidifier, when the atomized water droplets evaporate in the air, calcium 1. There has been a problem in that various ions such as magnesium are precipitated and become white powder that adheres to walls and the like, or causes contact failure in electronic devices and the like.

As a countermeasure to this problem, the precipitation of white powder could not be prevented unless the tap water was ion-exchanged with a commercially available deionizer or the like and placed in the water tank 2 before use.

The present invention solves these problems and provides an ultrasonic humidifier that does not generate white powder due to ion precipitation even when tap water containing various ions is directly supplied to the water tank of the humidifier. This is what I am trying to do.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, one aspect of the present invention is to provide a cartridge case having an outlet side water passage provided on the side surface.

Ion exchange resin is filled between the inlet side water passage and the inner bottom provided with the water injection protrusion, and the ion exchange resin cartridge is placed in the humidifier body, with a water storage tank formed by the cartridge case and the inner bottom. It is something.

(Function) With this configuration, the tap water that flows out from the water filler cap of the water tank enters the water tank of the ion exchange resin cartridge, and then flows through the ion exchange resin filled part from the inlet side water passage in the middle bottom. After ion exchange and removal of various ions, the water flows out from the outlet side water port provided on the side of the cartridge case and is atomized by an ultrasonic oscillator.

As a result, the ion-exchanged water, which does not contain various ions, is atomized by the ultrasonic oscillator, thereby preventing the precipitation of white powder outside the humidifier.

(Example) An example of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

In FIG. 1, the ultrasonic humidifier according to the present invention houses a water tank 2 equipped with a water filling cap 1, an ion exchange resin cartridge 8 provided with a water filling protrusion 3 for pushing up the water filling cap 1, and It is composed of a humidifier main body 5 equipped with an oscillator 4 and a humidifying cover 7 equipped with an air outlet 6.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the ion exchange resin cartridge 8 described above. The ion exchange resin cartridge 8 includes a cartridge case 10 provided with an outlet side water inlet 9 on the side, an inlet side water inlet 11, and a water injection protrusion 3. An ion exchange resin 13 is filled between the cartridge case 10 and the inner sole 12, and a water storage tank 14 is formed by the cartridge case 10 and the inner sole 12. In order to prevent the ion exchange resin 13 from being washed away, nets 15 and 16 are provided below the midsole 12 and inside the cartridge case 10, respectively, so as to cover the inlet water port 11 and the outlet water port 9 of the cartridge case 10. It is charged.

The operation of the ultrasonic humidifier having such a configuration will be explained. First, when the water tank 2 containing tap water is set on the humidifier body 5, the water filling protrusion 3 provided on the inner sole 12 opens the water filling cap 1, and the tap water is first poured into the water tank of the ion exchange resin cartridge 8. Water accumulates in 14, and then passes horizontally between the ion exchange resin 13 from the inlet water port 11 to remove various ions, exits from the outlet water port 9, and is guided to the ultra high frequency oscillator 4. When the ultrahigh-frequency oscillator 4 operates in this state, water that does not contain various ions is atomized and discharged into the air from the outlet 6.

(Effect of the invention) With conventional ultrasonic humidifiers, when adding tap water to the aquarium,
The precipitation of white powder could not be prevented unless ion exchange was performed each time using a commercially available simple water purifier, etc. However, the ultrasonic humidifier of the present invention incorporates ion exchange resin into its main body in a cartridge manner. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the precipitation of white powder even if tap water is directly poured into the aquarium. Also, since it is a cartridge method,
The ion exchange resin can be replaced very easily. Furthermore, the ion exchange resin cartridge has a structure in which tap water passes through the ion exchange resin in a horizontal direction, so that the ion exchange efficiency does not decrease even if the height of the ion exchange resin filling part is lowered. It is possible to make the humidifier thinner, which also has the effect of keeping the height of the humidifier body low.
