Abstract

A humidifier is provided that includes a main body having a discharge part, a base on which the main body is seated, the base having a suction part through which air is suctioned, a tray seated on the base to store water, and a disk assembly seated on the tray to humidify the air suctioned through the suction part.

Claims (42)

1. A humidifier comprising:

a base having a first suction part through which air is suctioned;

a main body having a discharge part, the main body provided on the base;

a tray on the base to store water; and

a disk assembly on the tray to humidify the air suctioned through the first suction part,

wherein the main body includes:

a second suction part for suctioning air, and

an air guide to guide the air suctioned through the second suction part toward the disk assembly.

2. The humidifier according to claim 1 , wherein the main body covers the tray when the main body is on the base, and

the air suctioned through the first suction part flows upward from inside of the main body along or outside of the tray.

3. The humidifier according to claim 2 , wherein the main body includes:

a case assembly to cover the tray; and

a housing to cover the case assembly, and

the air suctioned through the first suction part flows between the case assembly and the tray.

4. The humidifier according to claim 1 , wherein the first suction part is disposed lower than a shaft for rotating the disk assembly.

5. The humidifier according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a filter assembly to pass humidified air; and

a fan at a downstream side of the filter assembly.

6. The humidifier according to claim 1 , wherein the second suction part is disposed higher than the first suction part of the base.

7. The humidifier according to claim 6 , wherein the second suction part is disposed higher than a shaft for rotating the disk assembly.

8. The humidifier according to claim 1 , wherein the main body further includes a suction filter to filter the air suctioned through the second suction part.

9. The humidifier according to claim 1 , wherein the second suction part is between the discharge part and the first suction part of the base based on height of the second suction part.

10. A humidifier comprising:

a base having a first suction part;

a tray on the base;

a disk assembly on the tray to humidify air suctioned through the first suction part; and

a case assembly, on the base, to cover the tray,

wherein the air suctioned through the first suction part flows upward between the case assembly and the tray, and

the first suction part is disposed lower than the case assembly.

11. The humidifier according to claim 10 , wherein the first suction part is disposed lower than a shaft for rotating the disk assembly.

12. The humidifier according to claim 10 , further comprising a housing to cover the case assembly, the housing having a second suction part.

13. The humidifier according to claim 12 , wherein the second suction part is disposed higher than the first suction part of the base.

14. The humidifier according to claim 12 , wherein the second suction part is disposed higher than a shaft for rotating the disk assembly.

15. A humidifier comprising:

a base having a first suction part;

a main body on the base, the main body having a second suction part through which air is suctioned and a discharge part through which humidified air is discharged;

a tray, on the base, to store water; and

a disk assembly, on the tray, to humidify the air suctioned through the first suction part and the second suction part.

16. The humidifier according to claim 15 , wherein the discharge part is disposed above the first and second suction parts.

17. The humidifier according to claim 15 , wherein the first suction part is disposed lower than a shaft for rotating the disk assembly, and

the second suction part is disposed higher than the shaft for rotating the disk assembly.

18. The humidifier according to claim 15 , wherein the main body includes a case assembly, on the base, to cover the tray, and the case assembly and the tray define a first suction passage through which the air suctioned through the first suction part flows.
