HUMIDIFIER FOR PREVENTING POLLUTION OF HUMIDIFYING WATER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18241568 titled 'HUMIDIFIER FOR PREVENTING POLLUTION OF HUMIDIFYING WATER
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a humidifier that includes various components such as a humidifying member, storage water tank, circulating water tank, residual water tank, supply pump, circulating pump, fan, internal pipe, drainage member, and a controller.
- The humidifying member is responsible for adding moisture to the air.
- The storage water tank holds the water to be supplied to the humidifying member.
- The circulating water tank stores the water that has been used by the humidifying member.
- The supply pump transfers water from the storage water tank to the circulating water tank.
- The circulating pump moves water from the circulating water tank to the humidifying member.
- The fan blows air towards the humidifying member, causing the evaporated water to be released outside the humidifier.
- The internal pipe creates a pathway for the water that is not evaporated by the humidifying member to be returned to the circulating water tank.
- The drainage member selectively discharges water from the circulating water tank to the residual water tank.
- The controller operates the humidifier in humidity mode based on the water level in the storage water tank.
Potential Applications
- Home humidification systems
- Office or commercial building humidification systems
- Industrial processes requiring controlled humidity levels
Problems Solved
- Provides a convenient and efficient way to add moisture to the air in a controlled manner.
- Prevents wastage of water by recovering non-evaporated water and returning it to the system.
- Allows for easy drainage of excess water to prevent overflow.
Benefits
- Maintains desired humidity levels in indoor environments.
- Reduces water consumption by recycling non-evaporated water.
- User-friendly operation with automatic control based on water levels.
- Prevents water overflow and potential damage to the humidifier.
Original Abstract Submitted
The humidifier includes a humidifying member, a storage water tank, a circulating water tank, a residual water tank, a supply pump configured to supply water accommodated in the storage water tank to the circulating water tank, a circulating pump configured to supply water accommodated in the circulating water tank to the humidifying member. A fan configured to blow air toward the humidifying member and thereby cause water evaporated to be discharged outside the humidifier, an internal pipe configured to form a flow passage through which water not evaporated by the humidifying member is recovered to the circulating water tank, a drainage member configured to selectively discharge water accommodated in the circulating water tank to the residual water tank, and a controller configured to operate the humidifier in humidity mode based on the water level in the storage water tank.
