With reference to FIGS. 4 to 6, the noise reduction device of the floating humidifier using the cap 130 according to another embodiment of the present invention can be configured to include the water tank lid 110 and the cap 130.

Since the water tank lid 110 according to another embodiment of the present invention is the same as or similar to the water tank lid 110 according to one embodiment of the present invention, the cap 130 will be described in detail in this embodiment.

The cap 130 is a member for reducing the amount of air flowing into the floating humidifier 10, and can be formed with a predetermined height along the circumference of the opening 112.

The cap 130 in this embodiment can be connected to the opening 112 of the water tank lid 110 in a detachable structure. That is, the cap 130 can be separated from the water tank lid 110 or coupled to the water tank lid 110 as needed.

As an example, the cap 130 can be coupled to the aquarium lid 110 by being placed or placed around the opening 112. Therefore, the cap 130 can be provided with an anchoring portion 136 formed by extending from the lower portion of the cap 130 toward the upper portion so as to be attached to the peripheral portion of the opening 112.

As shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b, the anchoring portion 136 is formed obliquely in the outward direction of the central axis of the penetrating portion 132 of the cap 130 so that the anchoring portion 136 can be more stably attached to the peripheral portion of the opening 112. Can be done. That is, the anchoring portion 136 can have a shape bent in the outward direction of the cap 130. As a reference, the upper direction can be the same direction as the direction in which the discharge amount of the floating humidifier 10 is directed.

As another example, the cap 130 can be coupled to the aquarium lid 110 by a structure that engages with a portion around the opening 112. Therefore, a engaging protrusion (not shown) formed so as to project outward from the central axis of the penetrating portion 132 of the cap 130 can be formed around the lower portion of the cap 130, and a portion around the opening 112. Can be provided with a stepped interlocking step portion (not shown) having a step.

The bonding method between the cap 130 and the water tank lid 110 is not limited to the method described above, and various bonding methods can be used.

On the other hand, the diameter of the penetrating portion 132 can be made larger than the diameter of the upper end portion of the floating humidifier 10 so that a separated space is provided between the cap 130 and the floating humidifier 10. Specifically, the diameter of the penetrating portion 132 is preferably larger than the diameter of the discharging portion of the floating humidifier 10.

As a result, when the amount of water in the water tank 120 increases, even if the separation distance between the upper end portion of the floating humidifier 10 and the penetrating portion 132 becomes narrow, the minimum path that can flow into the floating humidifier 10 Can be secured.

The cap 130 may include a plurality of protrusions 134 formed so as to project along the circumference of the penetration portion 132 toward the separation space in a predetermined size.

Further, the plurality of projecting portions 134 can be formed so as to project in the horizontal direction along the circumference of the penetrating portion 132. That is, the plurality of protrusions 134 can form protrusions in the horizontal direction toward the center of the opening 112 at the end of the inclined portion 114 of the water tank lid 110.

Further, the plurality of projecting portions 134 can be formed so as to project downward obliquely along the circumference of the penetrating portion 132. That is, the plurality of projecting portions 134 can be formed so as to project downward obliquely toward the center of the opening 112 at the end of the inclined portion 114 of the water tank lid 110.

When the plurality of projecting portions 134 are formed so as to project downward diagonally along the circumference of the penetrating portion 132, they penetrate around the cap 130 and the penetrating portion 132 as compared with the case where the plurality of projecting portions 134 are formed so as to project in the horizontal direction. The separation distance around the upper end of the floating humidifier 10 becomes relatively closer, and the amount of air flowing into the floating humidifier 10 decreases.

Therefore, the protruding directions of the plurality of protruding portions 134 can be adjusted and embodied according to the degree of necessity or preference of the amount of air inflow.

As a reference, the plurality of protrusions 134 can be formed at the ends of the inclined portions 114 in any direction from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction. For example, the plurality of protrusions 134 can be formed to protrude in a straight line at the end of the inclined portion 114, or can be formed to protrude downward in a direction of 45 degrees.

The plurality of protrusions 134 have a uniform distance from each other along the circumference of the penetration portion 132 and can be formed at a distance from each other.

Here, the separated interval is preferably an interval in which the plurality of protruding portions 134 have an angle of n / 360 degrees with respect to the center of the penetrating portion 132 and are separated from each other. For reference, n corresponds to the number of the plurality of protrusions 134.

As an example, as shown in FIG. 8a, two protrusions 134 can be formed apart along the circumference of the penetration 132, and the protrusions 134 can be separated by a distance of 180 degrees.

As another example, as shown in FIG. 8b, three protrusions 134 can be formed apart along the perimeter of the penetration 132, with each protrusion 134 being separated at 120 degree intervals. Can be done.

For reference, referring to FIG. 8c, in the present embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 134 are formed at the upper end of the penetration portion 132, but the present invention is not limited to this, and any of the protrusions 134 may be formed around the penetration portion 132. However, the same effect can be exhibited.

As a result, when the amount of water in the water tank 120 increases, even if the separation distance between the upper end portion of the floating humidifier 10 and the penetrating portion 132 becomes narrow, the minimum path that can flow into the floating humidifier 10 is stabilized. Can be secured. Not only that, it is also possible to attenuate the movement of the floating humidifier 10 which cannot be fixed in the water tank 120 due to an external impact and sways.

As a reference, in the present embodiment, the plurality of protruding portions 134 described above can also be provided in the cap 130 of the noise reduction device of the floating humidifier using the cap 130 according to the one embodiment, and have the same effect. Can be demonstrated.

On the other hand, in this embodiment, among the humidifying particles discharged from the floating humidifier 10, the humidifying particles that sink into the water tank lid 110 can move toward the opening 112 due to the structure in which the upper surface of the lid is inclined. .. At this time, there may be a problem that the humidifying particles that have moved toward the opening 112 accumulate around the anchoring portion 136 formed around the lower portion of the cap 130.

Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 9a and 9b, the cap 130 can be provided with at least one discharge hole 138 formed in a predetermined size around the lower portion of the cap 130.

The discharge hole 138 is a gap for re-injecting the humidifying particles discharged from the floating humidifier 10 and sinking into the upper surface of the water tank lid 110 into the water tank 120, and is larger than the size of the humidifying particles by a predetermined size. It is preferable to embody it in a size that does not increase the amount of air flowing into the floating humidifier 10.
