Abstract

An ultrasonic humidifier according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a water bottle accommodating water capable of generating humidification; a water bottle lid covering an upper opening surface of the water bottle and including a humidification outlet for discharging the humidification; and an ultrasonic humidification generating module which floats submersibly in the water accommodated in the water bottle and generates humidifying particles by using ultrasonic waves.

Claims (16)

1. An ultrasonic humidifier comprising:

a water bottle accommodating water capable of generating humidification;

a water bottle lid covering an upper opening surface of the water bottle and including a humidification outlet for discharging the humidification;

an ultrasonic humidification generating module floating submersibly in the water accommodated in the water bottle and generating humidifying particles by using ultrasonic waves; and

a humidification discharging fan directly and indirectly discharging the humidifying particles to the outside by controlling an air flow in the water bottle,

wherein the ultrasonic humidification generating module includes a buoyancy object, an ultrasonic vibration unit, a sensor, and a control unit, wherein the sensor installed on top of the buoyancy object is configured to sense water that moves to an inlet portion of an inflow groove along the top of the buoyancy object, and

wherein the control unit drives an ultrasonic vibration unit when the control unit receives a sensed signal from the sensor.

2. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 1 , wherein the humidification discharging fan directly discharges the humidifying particles through the fan by controlling a rotational direction of the fan so that air flows out from the inside to the outside of the water bottle.

3. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 1 , wherein the humidification discharging fan indirectly discharges the humidifying particles through the humidification outlet by controlling a rotational direction of the fan so that the air flows from the outside to the inside of the water bottle.

4. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 1 , wherein the humidification discharging fan is provided in the water bottle or the water bottle lid.

5. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic humidification generating module maintains a predetermined depth from a water surface of the water accommodated in the water bottle.

6. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 5 , wherein the ultrasonic humidification generating module maintains the predetermined depth in connection with at least one of the water bottle, the water bottle lid, and a floating object which floats in the water.

7. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 1 , wherein the ultrasonic humidification generating module includes a wireless communication module configured to wirelessly control a humidification amount outside the water bottle.

8. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 7 , wherein the ultrasonic humidification generating module is driven by wirelessly receiving power through wireless power transmission using the wireless communication module.

9. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 8 , wherein the wireless communication module receives a remote control signal from an external controller including a remote controller or a portable terminal and performs an operation regarding humidification amount control or wireless power transmission based on the received remote control signal.

10. The ultrasonic humidifier of claim 1 , wherein the water bottle lid is joined with the water bottle by at least one type of a rotation type, a magnet type, and a forcible insertion type.
