The water tank portion has a horizontally long box shape with an open top, the long side surface extends in the attaching / detaching direction of the humidifying means, and the distance between the long side surface and the humidifying portion is the center in the attaching / detaching direction of the humidifying means. This is characterized in that the end portion is larger than the portion, thereby achieving the initial purpose.

  As described above, the present invention includes a main body case having an intake port and an exhaust port, a blowing means provided in the main body case, a humidifying means mounting portion provided in an air passage of the blowing means, and the humidifying means mounting portion. And a humidifying means detachably attached in a horizontal direction, the humidifying means comprising a water tank portion to which a certain amount of water is supplied and a humidifying portion partially immersed in the water of the water tank portion, the water tank portion Is the shape of a horizontally long box with an open top, the long side surface extends in the attaching / detaching direction of the humidifying means, and the distance between the long side surface and the humidifying portion is an end portion from the central portion in the attaching / detaching direction of the humidifying means. Is characterized by being larger.

  That is, the water tank portion has a horizontally long box shape with an open top, the long side surface extends in the attaching / detaching direction of the humidifying means, and the distance between the long side surface and the humidifying portion is more than the central portion in the attaching / detaching direction of the humidifying means. Because the part is larger, even if the water in the water tank part sways in the direction of attaching and detaching the humidifying means, the water at the one end is difficult to move to the other end, and the water at the central part moves. However, since the amount of water in the center portion is smaller than that in the end portion, the occurrence of water splash due to water shaking can be reduced. As a result, the splash of water in the aquarium can be suppressed.

  Based on these results, it is possible to suppress splashing of water in the water tank during maintenance.
