Abstract
An easy-to-clean heated humidifier is proposed. The easy-to-clean heated humidifier is configured to be easily cleaned by separating a water container from the humidifier. The easy-to-clean heated humidifier includes: a lower main body including a heating means, and a dial configured to adjust an amount of humidification; and an upper main body provided at an upper end of the lower main body, including an outer casing, and an inner casing located inside the outer casing, having a partial opening to allow water in the outer casing to flow into the inner casing, and configured to vaporize the water in the inner casing by the heating means.
Claims5
An easy-to-clean heated humidifier comprising:
- a main body comprising:
- an outer casing with a sidewall and an internally extended lower surface,
- an inner casing that is located inside the outer casing and is detachably installed on the lower surface to form a space to store water between the inner casing and the sidewall of the outer casing, wherein the lower surface comprises at least one gap thereon to allow the water stored in the space between the inner casing and the sidewall of the outer casing to move into the inner casing, and
- a heater configured to vaporize the water within the inner casing into steam;
- and
- a cover provided at an upper end of the main body and comprising a spraying port configured to spray the vaporized steam to an outside of the humidifier,
- wherein the inner casing comprises:
- a preheating casing located inside the outer casing and detachably installed on the lower surface, and configured such that the water stored in a space between the outer casing and the preheating casing is moved into the inside of the preheating casing through a first gap and a second gap, both gaps being formed on the lower surface of the outer casing;
- and
- a heating casing located inside the preheating casing and detachably installed on the lower surface, and configured such that the water stored in a space between the preheating casing and the heating casing moves into the inside of the heating casing through the first gap formed on the lower surface of the outer casing and the moved water is vaporized into steam by the heater,
- wherein the first gap is formed on a first extended portion, and the second gap is formed on a second extended portion,
- wherein in a state in which a lower outside surface of the preheating casing is in close contact with the first extended portion, the water stored in the space between the outer casing and the preheating casing is moved into the preheating casing through the first gap, and in a state in which a lower outside surface of the heating casing is in close contact with the second extended portion, the water stored in the space between the preheating casing and the heating casing is moved into the heating casing through the second gap.
