Abstract

Disclosed is a humidifier. The humidifier of the present disclosure includes: a humidification module housing in which a humidification water tank that generates humidified air is placed; and a display placed in front of the humidification module housing. The display includes a display substrate; a display cover that forms a space in which the display substrate is placed and is mounted on the humidification module housing; and a display gasket that seals between the display cover and the humidification module housing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A humidifier comprising:
 a humidification module housing in which a humidification water tank configured to generate humidified air is disposed; and   a display disposed in front of the humidification module housing,   wherein the display includes   a display substrate;   a display cover that defines a space in which the display substrate is disposed and is mounted to the humidification module housing; and   a display gasket that seals between the display cover and the humidification module housing.   
     
     
         2 . The humidifier of  claim 1 , wherein the display gasket includes
 an outer gasket that is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the display cover,   an inner gasket that is in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the display cover, and   a connection portion that connects the outer gasket and the inner gasket, and   wherein the connection portion is in contact with the humidification module housing.   
     
     
         3 . The humidifier of  claim 2 , wherein the connection portion forms an inclined surface having a shape of being inclined forward toward the inner gasket from the outer gasket. 
     
     
         4 . The humidifier of  claim 2 , wherein a tip protruding rearward is formed on the connection portion. 
     
     
         5 . The humidifier of  claim 4 , wherein a lateral thickness of the tip is smaller than a lateral length of the connection portion. 
     
     
         6 . The humidifier of  claim 1 , wherein the display cover includes
 a cover body that defines a space in which the display substrate is placed,   an upper fastening portion protruding upward from a top portion of the cover body, and   a side fastening portion protruding laterally from a side surface of the cover body, and   wherein each of the upper fastening portion and the side fastening portion penetrates the display gasket.   
     
     
         7 . The humidifier of  claim 6 , wherein the display gasket includes an outer gasket that is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the cover body, and an inner gasket that is in contact with an inner peripheral surface of the cover body, and
 wherein a side hole through which the side fastening portion penetrates and an upper hole through which the upper fastening portion penetrates are formed in the outer gasket.   
     
     
         8 . The humidifier of  claim 1 , wherein an wire hole is formed on a front surface of the humidification module housing,
 wherein an auxiliary projection protruding upward is disposed on a bottom surface of the display gasket, and   wherein the auxiliary projection is disposed in front of the wire hole.   
     
     
         9 . The humidifier of  claim 8 , wherein the display cover has a fixing hook that protrudes rearward and is inserted into the wire hole, and
 wherein a hook hole through which the fixing hook penetrates is formed in the display gasket.   
     
     
         10 . The humidifier of  claim 8 , wherein a water tank placement space in which a humidification water tank is placed and an electric wire placement space into which the wire hole extends rearward are formed inside the humidification module housing, and
 wherein the water tank placement space and the electric wire placement space are partitioned from each other.   
     
     
         11 . The humidifier of  claim 10 , wherein a lower wire hole that is opened to a lower side of the electric wire placement space is formed on the bottom surface of the humidification module housing. 
     
     
         12 . The humidifier of  claim 1 , wherein a cover support that protrudes forward to support the display cover is placed in the humidification module housing, and
 wherein the display gasket is placed between the cover support and the display cover.   
     
     
         13 . The humidifier of  claim 1 , wherein a fixing cover that fixes the display cover is disposed in contact with a top portion of the display cover is placed in the humidification module housing. 
     
     
         14 . The humidifier of  claim 13 , wherein the display gasket is placed between the fixing cover and the display cover. 
     
     
         15 . The humidifier of  claim 1 , comprising:
 a water tank disposed above the humidification module housing and defining a space holding water; and   an inner shell placed between the humidification module housing and the water tank,   wherein a discharge passage through which the humidified air generated by the humidification module moves is formed between the inner shell and the water tank, and   wherein the display cover is disposed outside the discharge passage.
