PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mist generator that counts the number of times of mist operation and indicates cleaning of a water storage chamber at a predetermined value of the number of times.SOLUTION: The mist generator includes water level detection means 12 detecting water level presence when water is stored in a water storage chamber 8 above a certain water level, and control means 41 controlling the output of a heater 22 so as to hold the stored water in the water storage chamber 8 at set temperature, controlling driving means 13 and an air blower 4 to perform mist operation for cleaning air in the room while supplying nanomist and negative ions into the room, and stopping the mist operation when the water level detection means 12 detects water level absence. The mist generator further includes clocking means 44 for the number of times of operation which counts the number of times of the mist operation, and the control means 41 makes notification means 43 give notice instructing cleaning when the clocking means 44 for the number of times of operation counts up to the predetermined number of times or more and the water level detection means 12 detects water level absence.COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT【課題】ミスト運転の回数をカウントし、規定回数値で貯水室の清掃の報知を行うようにしたミスト発生装置を提供するものである。【解決手段】貯水室8内に一定水位以上の貯水があるときに水位有りと検出する水位検出手段12と、前記貯水室8内の貯水の温度を設定温度に保持するように前記加熱ヒータ22の出力を制御すると共に、前記駆動手段13及び送風機4を制御し、前記ナノミスト及び負イオンを室内に供給しながら室内の空気を清浄にするミスト運転を行わせ、前記ミスト運転中に、前記水位検出手段12が水位無しを検出した場合、前記ミスト運転を停止させる制御手段41とを備えたミスト発生装置に於いて、前記ミスト運転の回数をカウントする運転回数計時手段44を設け、前記制御手段41は、この運転回数計時手段44が規定回数値以上をカウントし、且つ水位検出手段12が水位無しを検出した場合には、報知手段43に清掃を指示する報知を行わせる。【選択図】 図3
