Abstract
Provided is a water filtering device for a humidifier capable of increasing the filling amount of an ion exchange resin by including a separate inner cylinder having upper and lower diameters that are different from each other, increasing adsorption and removal efficiency of mineral components contained in water by taking a long ionic bonding time between the water and the ion exchange resin, and effectively preventing scales of the mineral components from being extracted by heating a heater to prevent malfunction of the heater or pipes.
Claims14
A water filtering device comprising:
- a case having a water inlet port and a water discharge port;
- an inner cylinder disposed in the case and providing a space between the case and the inner cylinder filled with an ion exchange resin so that water entering through the water inlet port is ion-bonded and discharged through the discharge port;
- a partitioned cylinder disposed between the case and the inner cylinder partitioning the space into an inner space toward the inner cylinder and an outer space toward the case,
- wherein the inner space and the outer space are each filled with the ion exchange resin;
- an upper cap including a center air hole, said upper end cap being detachably fitted on an open upper part of the case;
- wherein the case has a first fitting groove formed around a front end of the discharge port, the first fitting groove having a diameter larger than the second fitting groove;
- wherein a second fitting groove is formed around the center air hole in the upper end cap;
- ring shaped packing members formed of soft rubber or soft synthetic resin inserted in the first and second fitting grooves to prevent leakage;
- and,
- wherein upper and lower ends of the inner cylinder are detachably fitted into the first and second fitting grooves, respectively.
