Description

Humidifier {HUMIDIFIER}

The present disclosure relates to a humidifier, and more particularly, to a humidifier having a waterproof structure applied to a display.

A humidifier is a device that vaporizes water and emits humidified air with a high moisture content. A humidifier can vaporize water by natural vaporization, heating vaporization, or ultrasonic vibration to create humidified air.

The 'upward discharge type large-capacity humidifier' disclosed in Korean Patent Registration No. 10-2500340 includes a water tank that stores water; and a main body that is arranged above the water tank and has a discharge port formed at the upper side, and the main body includes: a storage space in which supplied water is temporarily stored; a vibrator arranged on the bottom surface of the storage space; a display arranged on an outer wall; and a machine room formed at the lower side of the storage space.

The above conventional humidifier has a problem in that the display is placed on the peripheral wall of the main body forming the water storage space, making it difficult to electrically connect it to the machine room to supply power to the display.

In addition, since the display is placed on the perimeter wall of the main body forming the water storage space, there is a risk of leakage from the display to the water stored in the water storage space. At this time, there is a problem of causing damage to the user's body.
