Abstract (en)

A humidifier (10) including a reservoir (16) for storing water, a humidifying filter (22) disposed inside the reservoir (16), a blowing fan (34) for drawing in outside air and for discharging air humidified by passing through the humidifying filter (22) to the outside, and a motor (36) that rotates the blowing fan (34). A dome-shaped upper cover (42) covers the motor from above, a peripheral gutter (44) is formed so as to extend along the peripheral portion of the upper cover (42), intersecting gutters (50) are formed so as to extend outward from the peripheral gutter (44) and intersect the flow of the air that is to be discharged to the outside, and a water channel (32) is formed so as to extend from the intersecting gutters (50) toward the reservoir (16). Thereby a water filling opening (48) for replenishing the water in a reservoir (16) is formed as large as possible.
