1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a heating and humidifying device, particularly to a heating and humidifying device by which the humidity in the ambient air can be raised and the temperature in the ambient can be increased rapidly.
2. Brief Description of the Prior Art
Usually, regional climate on the earth is influenced by some factors such as the latitude of the geological location and the ocean proximity, such that some regions belong to continental climate, some oceanic climate, some very hot all year around, and some very cool all year long. However, most of regions have four seasons, some regions with longer summer while some regions with longer winter in distinction.
Generally, the winter in continental climate region is characterized by its bitter cold and dryness which contributes to the symptom of dry skin even skin cracking, and makes people feel uncomfortable. How to increase the room temperature and humidity in winter has been becoming a big issue all the time.
In view of the above fact, the inventor of the present invention provides a novel heating and humidifying device according to the abundant professional knowledge accumulated and practical manufacturing experience in the relevant field, so that a solution for the above problem can be highly expected.
This invention relates to a heating and humidifying device in which a far infrared generation region and a heat exchange region are divided within a housing by a plurality of support frames. Several quartz outer tubes sealed at both ends of each tube are juxtaposedly arranged in the far infrared generation region. A quartz inner tube provided with a far infrared ray heater is provided within each quartz outer tube. One end of the quartz inner tube is provided with an electrode terminal which extends to the outside of the quartz outer tube. Furthermore, a water supply inlet is provided on the side wall of each quartz outer tube near the bottom end, and a number of water vapor outlets are provided at the upper portion on the side wall of the quartz outer tube. The heat exchange region has a water container provided at the bottom portion which is provided with a water charge port and several water discharge ports. Each water discharge port is communicated with the water supply inlet of the quartz outer tube by a communicating tube, and a micro-water-supply unit is provided within each communicating tube. The micro-water-supply unit has a siphon material or a one-way check valve provided within each communicating tube. A plurality of moistured air discharge ports are provided on the top surface of the heat exchange region. In this manner, the humidity in the ambient air can be increased and the ambient temperature can be raised rapidly so as to provide a comfortable living environment for human beings.
The present invention will be better understood by the detailed description of the following preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
The objects, the technical contents and the expected effectiveness of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Firstly referring to
The heat exchange region (4) has a water container (41) provided at the bottom portion, a water charge port (411) is provided on the top of the water container (41) for water charging. A water discharge port (412) associated with each quartz outer tube (32) is provided on one side of the water container (41) with respect to the far infrared generation region (3). Each water discharge port (412) is communicated with the water supply inlet (322) of the associated quartz outer tube (32) by a communicating tube (42). A micro-water-supply unit (43) is provided within each communicating tube (42). The micro-water-supply unit (43) has a siphon material, preferable a ceramic material, extended to the bottom portion of the water container (41) such that the water in the water container (41) can be siphoned gradually and dripped into the inside of the quartz outer tube (32) according to the principle of siphon. Alternatively, the micro-water-supply unit (43) has a one-way check valve provided within each communicating tube (42), which controls the water in the water container (41) dripped in microlevel quantity into the inside of the quartz outer tube (32) gradually. A plurality of moistured air discharge ports (44) are provided on the top surface of the heat exchange region (4). In addition, a plurality of air intake ports (45) are provided on the other side wall of the heat exchange region (4) with respect to the far infrared generation region (3), and a plurality of light reflecting surface (46) are provided on the inner side wall of said other side, which can reflect the far infrared ray generated in the far infrared generation region (3) into the heat exchange region (4). An air filter (47) and a permeable guard panel (48) can be provided in order on the outside of said other side wall, such that the air outside the housing (1) enters into the heat exchange region (4) therethrough.
In the operation, as shown in
Summing up above, from the description of the configuration and the embodiments, the present invention has the advantages as follow:
Based on foregoing, the heating and humidifying device depicted by the preferred embodiment of this invention can reach expected effectiveness, and the specific configurations disclosed herein have yet been seen in the prior art of the same category of product.
While the present invention has been described with preferred embodiment in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, it is noted that the preferred embodiment and the drawings are purely for the convenience of description only, not intended to be restrictive on the scope of the present invention. Any modifications and variations or the equivalents developed without departing from the spirit of the present invention is considered to be still within the scope of the present invention.
