HUMIDIFIER - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240200805 titled 'HUMIDIFIER

The present disclosure pertains to a humidifier with a unique design to improve mist distribution and airflow within the device.

• The humidifier includes a case with an inlet and outlet, a humidification reservoir that produces mist, a guide wall above the reservoir, a blower fan creating an ascending air stream, and a diversion guide on top of the reservoir.
• The blower flow path between the reservoir and the case allows the ascending air stream to flow, while the inner discharge flow path inside the guide wall directs mist and part of the air stream.
• The outer discharge flow path between the guide wall and the case guides the remaining air stream, ensuring efficient mist distribution and airflow within the humidifier.

Potential Applications: - Home use for improving indoor air quality - Commercial use in offices or healthcare facilities - Industrial use in manufacturing processes requiring controlled humidity levels

Problems Solved: - Uneven mist distribution in traditional humidifiers - Inefficient airflow leading to stagnant air pockets - Limited control over humidity levels in enclosed spaces

Benefits: - Enhanced mist distribution for improved air quality - Efficient airflow circulation for consistent humidity levels - Reduced risk of mold or bacteria growth in stagnant air pockets

Commercial Applications: Title: Innovative Humidifier Technology for Improved Air Quality This technology can be utilized in various commercial settings such as offices, hospitals, and manufacturing facilities to maintain optimal humidity levels and improve overall air quality.

Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to humidifier design, mist distribution systems, and airflow control mechanisms to understand the evolution of this technology.

Frequently Updated Research: Stay informed about the latest advancements in humidifier technology, mist distribution systems, and airflow optimization to enhance the performance of similar devices in the market.

Questions about Humidifier Technology: 1. How does the unique design of this humidifier improve mist distribution compared to traditional models? 2. What are the potential cost-saving benefits of using this innovative humidifier technology in commercial settings?

Original Abstract Submitted

the present disclosure relates to a humidifier. a humidifier of the present disclosure includes: a case having an inlet and a outlet with an open top; a humidification reservoir disposed inside the case, that produces mist and has an open top so that the produced mist rises therethrough; a guide wall disposed above the humidification reservoir, that is spaced inward from the case and extends upward; a blower fan disposed below the humidification reservoir, that creates an ascending air stream within the case; and a diversion guide disposed on the top of the humidification reservoir, that divides the ascending air stream, wherein a blower flow path is formed between the humidification reservoir and the case, through which the ascending air stream flows, an inner discharge flow path is formed inside the guide wall, through which the mist produced in the humidification reservoir and part of the ascending air stream that has passed through the blower flow path flow, an outer discharge flow path is formed between the guide wall and the case, through which the rest of the ascending air stream that has passed through the blower flow path flows, and the diversion guide guides part of the ascending air stream that has passed through the blower flow path to the inner discharge flow path.
