う不都合があった。However, in this case, since it is necessary to store the cartridge tank separately from the heating water tank, the humidifier inevitably becomes large in size and the cost is high, and since the heating water tank is small, the washing by hand washing is required. There was an inconvenience that it was troublesome.

成している。In order to solve this inconvenience, recently, there has been proposed an integral type in which a humidifying water tank is concentrically arranged in an outer case and a heater is attached to the outer periphery of the heating tank, which does not require a cartridge. As shown in FIG. 5, this integrated humidifier has a heating tank 2 arranged by interposing a cylindrical space inside an outer case 1 which is erected on a disk-shaped stand portion 8. A humidifier body having a heater 5 attached to the outer periphery of the lower portion of the heating tank 2 is formed between the outer case 1 and the heating tank 2, and an upper end opening of the body is opened and closed via a hinge portion 12. A detachable canopy 3 is attached. This canopy 3 has an opening / closing button 11 on the side facing the steam hinge. Further, a power cord connecting portion 7 is formed in the outer case just below the hinge portion. By the way, in this canopy 3, a steam hole 9 is provided at the center of a recess having a gentle sloped wall, a steam diffusion plate 6 is arranged in the recess, and the entire circumference between the recess and the steam diffusion plate 10 is provided. An annular vapor lead-out path 4 is formed.

As described above, since the recess has a gentle slope, the tip of the vapor outlet of the vapor diffusion plate was oriented obliquely. With this configuration, steam was obliquely blown, and as a result, it was blown so as to crawl on the surface of the canopy. Moreover, the lower surface of the vapor diffusion plate was formed horizontally.

It had the drawback that it wets the power cord connection on the side of the humidifier body and the table such as the table, and the steam that has blown out accumulates as water droplets around the tip of the steam outlet 4.

発明では以下の点において従来構成と異なっている。In the humidifier 1 according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, a heating tank 2 is arranged by inserting a cylindrical space inside an outer case 1 standing on a disk-shaped pedestal 8. Between the outer case 1 and the heating tank 2, a humidifier main body having a heater 5 attached to the outer periphery of the lower portion of the heating tank 2 is formed, and a canopy 3 has a hinge portion 12 at an upper end opening of the main body. It is mounted so as to be openable and closable by a predetermined angle (for example, 100 °) as a center and detachable. This canopy 3 has a hinge portion 1.
An opening / closing button 11 is provided on the side opposite to 2, and by pressing this opening / closing button, the canopy and the main body are unlocked and opened. Further, a power cord connecting portion 7 is formed in the outer case 1 directly below the hinge portion 12. The configuration up to this point is the same as the conventional one. The present invention differs from the conventional configuration in the following points.

It has a recess 13 consisting of a and this inclined bottom portion 13
Four ribs 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d are erected on b at 90 degree intervals, and the vapor diffusion plate 6 is provided at the center thereof.
The gripping body 15 is formed so that the locking rod 6a can be gripped, and the rib 18d has a step portion 18e so that a saucer receiving rib 6c of the vapor diffusion plate 6 described later can pass therethrough.

The side, that is, the wall 13a located on the lower side when the canopy 3 is opened by rotating it about the hinge portion 12 (see the conventional example of FIG. 5) has a circle facing the rib 18e of the grip body 15. An arc-shaped strip-shaped projection 16 is erected at a distance from the surface of the wall portion 13 and receives an arc-shaped lower projection 6b formed on the side portion of the vapor diffusion plate 6 described later.

The open / close button 11 is pressed to open the canopy 3, and a predetermined amount of water is put into the heated water tank 3 in this state, and then the canopy 3 is closed and the heater 5 is energized via the power cord connecting portion. Then, the water in the heated water tank 3 is heated by the heater 5 to become water vapor, passes through the steam passage hole 9 of the canopy 3, and then passes through the arc-shaped steam lead-out path 4 opened on the side opposite to the hinge portion 12 for humidification. It is discharged almost vertically toward the upper part of the container 1. In this case, since the hinge portion 12 side of the recess 13 is closed by the strip-shaped projection 16 and the lower projection 6b of the vapor diffusion number 6, the steam is opened on the side opposite to the side where the strip-shaped projection is formed as described above. Is released only from the vapor discharge path
Moreover, the presence of the vertical wall portion 13a of the recess 13 causes the vapor to rise almost vertically and be discharged.

By closing the steam outlet, the water droplets that have accumulated in the steam outlet when the canopy is opened are prevented from flowing out of the outlet. Further, since the peripheral wall of the recess is made upright, the steam rises straight upward, and therefore the steam does not crawl on the upper surface of the canopy, so that it is possible to prevent water droplets from accumulating around the outlet.

Water drops on the back surface can be received and collected in the heating tank, and if inclined ribs are formed in the vicinity of the end of the arc-shaped lower projection of the vapor diffusion plate, the water drops flowing on the side surface of the vapor diffusion plate can be externalized. It can be prevented from leaking to.
Moreover, since the edge of the vapor outlet of the vapor diffusion plate is vertically projected downward, it is possible to prevent water droplets around the edge from flowing out.
