Humid rooms are used to control the humidity of the room or to provide moisture, as dry indoor air causes damage to the person's bronchi or increases the discomfort.

Such a humidifier has been developed in various forms such as a steam type, a moisture-free type, and a vaporization type depending on its usage and operation method.

The vaporization type humidifier is divided into a rotary type, a capillary type, and a direct type in such a manner that the water-wetting filler comes into contact with air and evaporates water when heat exchange is performed. In the direct type, water is supplied to the filler to absorb the water And then humidifying air is generated by evaporation through passing air.

One example of the conventional wall-mounted humidifier of the evaporative humidifier described above is disclosed in Patent Registration No. 1415220 (Apr. 26, 2014). The present invention relates to a humidifier main body having a wall fixing means provided on a rear surface thereof, an indoor air suction portion formed on one side thereof, and a humidifying air discharge portion formed on the other side thereof. A humidification inducing means installed inside the humidifier main body and humidifying the humidifying material supplied from the water receiving container into the humidifying filter; A water receiver provided at a lower portion of the humidification inducing means and supplied with water directly from a water supply facility or the like to receive humidifying water flowing down along the humidifying filter medium; A water level gauge for measuring the water level of the humidifying water in the water receptacle; A pump means provided with first and second pumps for supplying humidifying water of the water receiver to the humidifying inducing means or discharging the water to the outside; A blower for generating humid air by vaporizing the moisture of the humidifying filter material while forcibly passing air through the humidifying filter material; And a controller for controlling the water level control means, the pump means, and the blower so as to stop the humidification or the humidification of the room, and a wall-mounted evaporative humidifier.

In this patent, the blower is installed so as to be located at the front center portion of the humidification inducing means, and air is sucked through the indoor air suction portion located behind the humidifying inducing means by activating the blower to pass through the humidifying inducing means, Which is a suction type in which the air is supplied into the humidifier.
