The humidifier of the present application is described below in conjunction with FIGS. 1 to 6 .

The humidifier according to the embodiment of the present application includes a main body 100 and an atomizing assembly 150. Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a receiving chamber 101 is formed inside the main body 100. The atomizing assembly 150 is detachably mounted in the receiving chamber 101. When the atomizing assembly 150 is mounted in the receiving chamber 101, a water chamber 102 is formed between the inner wall of the main body 100 and the outer wall of the atomizing assembly 150.

According to the humidifier of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the atomizing assembly 150 in the main body 100, the main body 100 of the humidifier and the atomizing assembly 150 are combined, and the process of the water in the water chamber 102 replenishing the atomizing chamber 201, and the process of the water entering the atomizing assembly 150 after the atomizing chamber 201 becomes steam, are all carried out in the accommodating chamber 101, thereby effectively solving the water leakage problem of the humidifier. The water chamber 102 is directly formed between the inner wall of the main body 100 and the outer wall of the atomizing assembly 150, and the atomizing assembly 150 is directly installed in the accommodating chamber 101 of the main body 100, forming a nested structure, which fully saves the occupied space of the humidifier.

According to one embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figure 2, a first installation cavity 111 is formed inside the main body 100, the accommodating cavity 101 and the first installation cavity 111 are not connected, the main body 100 is provided with a mounting platform 110, the main body 100 is located above the mounting platform 110 to form the accommodating cavity 101, the atomization assembly 150 is detachably installed on the mounting platform 110, and the main body 100 is located below the mounting platform 110 to form the first installation cavity 111, and the first installation cavity 111 is suitable for installing electrical components.

It is understandable that the installation platform 110 separates the accommodating cavity 101 and the first installation cavity 111 so that the accommodating cavity 101 and the first installation cavity 111 are not connected. The accommodating cavity 101 is located above the installation platform 110 , and the first installation cavity 111 is located below the installation platform 110 .

It can be understood that the mounting platform 110 can be integrally formed with the main body 100, effectively improving the sealing of the humidifier and preventing water in the water chamber 102 from entering the first mounting chamber 111. Of course, the mounting platform 110 and the main body 100 are not limited to being integrally formed, but may also be formed in other ways, such as detachable installation, as long as the water in the water chamber 102 does not enter the first mounting chamber 111.

When the atomizer assembly 150 is detachably mounted on the mounting platform 110, a sealing silicone ring is provided between the atomizer assembly 150 and the mounting platform 110 to ensure that the atomizer assembly 150 and the mounting platform 110 are sealed. Due to the tightness between the atomizing assembly 150 and the mounting platform 110 , water will not enter the atomizing chamber 201 through the mounting gap between the atomizing assembly 150 and the mounting platform 110 .

According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , the atomization assembly 150 includes a mist guide pipe and a water level adjustment assembly. The mist guide pipe 200 is internally formed with an atomization chamber 201 and a mist guide channel 202, and the water chamber 102, the atomization chamber 201 and the mist guide channel 202 are fluidically connected in sequence. A water level adjustment chamber 311 is formed inside the water level adjustment assembly 300, and the water level adjustment assembly 300 is connected to the mist guide pipe 200.

It can be understood that the mist guide tube 200 forms an atomization chamber 201 and a mist guide channel 202, the water in the water chamber 102 enters the atomization chamber 201, and a component with an atomization function is arranged in the atomization chamber 201, which atomizes the water entering the atomization chamber 201, and the atomized fluid enters the mist guide channel 202 from the atomization chamber 201, and then leaves the mist guide tube 200 from the top of the mist guide channel 202 and diffuses into the air.

It is understandable that the component with atomization function may be a boiler 113 (explained later), which can boil water and generate steam. Of course, it may be other components with atomization function, such as an ultrasonic ceramic atomization sheet. The components with atomization function are not limited to the examples given here, as long as they can atomize water.

It is understandable that the atomizing chamber 201 and the mist guiding channel 202 in the mist guiding pipe 200 are unobstructed, which is conducive to the smooth flow of mist from bottom to top. Referring to Figure 2, the mist guiding pipe is conical, and the cross-sectional area of the mist guiding channel 202 gradually decreases from bottom to top. After the water in the second water tank forms mist, the mist is gathered through the mist guiding channel 202. Of course, the mist guiding pipe 200 is not limited to the examples given here, and the mist guiding pipe 200 can also be other shapes, as long as the fluid flows smoothly between the atomizing chamber 201 and the mist guiding channel 202.

It should be noted that the mist guide channel 202 can be set at the center of the main body 100, or at a position deviated from the center of the main body 100.

According to one embodiment of the present application, please refer to Figures 3 and 4. The water level regulating assembly 300 includes a shell 310, a float 320 and a switch 340. A water level regulating chamber 311 is formed inside the shell 310, and the shell 310 is provided with a water inlet 312 and a water outlet 313. The water inlet 312 connects the water chamber 102 and the water level regulating chamber 311, and the water outlet 313 connects the water level regulating chamber 311 and the atomizing chamber 201. The float 320 drives the switch 340 to close the water inlet 312 based on the water level in the atomizing chamber 201 rising to the set water level value. It can be understood that the water inlet 312 connects the water chamber 102 and the water level regulating chamber 311, and the water outlet 313 connects the water level regulating chamber 311 and the atomizing chamber 201. When water enters the water level regulating chamber 311 from the water chamber 102, The float 320 rises as the water level in the water level regulating chamber 311 rises, and the water in the water level regulating chamber 311 enters the atomizing chamber 201. When the water level in the atomizing chamber 201 rises to the set water level value, the float 320 rises to the set position, driving the switch 340 to close the water inlet 312, and the water in the main body 100 no longer flows into the water level regulating chamber 311, so that the water chamber 102 and the water level regulating chamber 311 are disconnected. At this time, the water level in the atomizing chamber 201 is consistent with the water level in the water level regulating chamber 311. Thereafter, when steam and water evaporate in the atomizing chamber 201, the water level in the atomizing chamber 201 decreases, and the water level in the water level regulating chamber 311 decreases accordingly. The float 320 drives the switch 340 to open as the water level drops, and the water inlet 312 is not closed, and the water in the water chamber 102 flows into the water level regulating chamber 311 again, thereby ensuring that the water level in the atomizing chamber 201 meets the atomization requirements. The above process is repeated until the water in the water chamber 102 is completely consumed. That is, when there is water in the water chamber 102, the water in the water chamber 102 can only enter the atomizing chamber 201 through the water level regulating assembly 300, and the water level regulating assembly 300 is used to control the water level in the atomizing chamber 201.

It is understood that the float 320 is a component having buoyancy in water, and the float 320 can be solid, for example, the float 320 can be made of a material with a density smaller than that of water, such as foam plastic, wood, or rubber, or the float 320 can be hollow, and can be filled with a gas with a low density, such as air or nitrogen. Of course, the float 320 is not limited to the above examples.

In one embodiment, a common side wall is provided between the housing 310 of the water level regulating assembly 300 and the mist guide pipe 200, wherein the water outlet 313 of the water level regulating assembly 300 is provided on the common side wall. That is, the water level regulating assembly 300 and the mist guide pipe 200 share the side wall of the mist guide pipe 200 to close the water level regulating chamber 311. In other words, the water level regulating chamber 311 is provided with an opening on the side facing the mist guide pipe 200, and the opening is adapted to the shape of the wall surface of the mist guide pipe 200. Among them, the water level regulating assembly 300 is connected to the mist guide pipe 200, and when the mist guide pipe 200 is installed to the main body 100, the water level regulating assembly 300 is suitable for being detachably installed on the main body 100 with the mist guide pipe 200. When the mist guide pipe 200 is removed, the water level regulating assembly 300 is removed from the main body 100 simultaneously. Here, when the water level regulating assembly 300 is detachably installed on the mist guide pipe 200, it is convenient to clean the components inside the water level regulating assembly 300. Of course, the water level regulating assembly 300 and the mist guide pipe 200 may also be integrally connected, including integrally formed or non-detachably connected.

According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 4 , the water level regulating assembly 300 further includes a float bracket 330, which is hinged to the housing 310 and fixedly connected to the float 320, and the float bracket 330 rotates between a first position and a second position. The switch 340 includes The stationary component 342 is fixed to the water inlet 312 and the movable component 341 is fixed to the float bracket 330; in the first position, the stationary component 342 is in sealing contact with the movable component 341 to close the water inlet 312; in the second position, the stationary component 342 is separated from the movable component 341 to open the water inlet 312. The float bracket 330 can limit the float 320. Of course, the float bracket 330 can also be omitted. For example, the float 320 can also be installed in the float tank, or the float 320 can also be connected to the housing 310 through a cable. Here, the installation methods of the float 320 in the housing 310 are not given one by one.

It is understandable that when there is no water in the water level regulating chamber 311, the float bracket 330 is located at the second position, the float 320 is arranged on the float bracket 330, and the float bracket 330 is tilted under the action of gravity, so that the movable part 341 is separated from the static part 342, and there is a gap between the movable part 341 and the static part 342, the water inlet 312 is opened, and the water level regulating chamber 311 is connected with the water chamber 102. If water is added to the main body 100, water enters the water level regulating chamber 311 from the water inlet 312, and the float 320 drives the float bracket 330 to rotate due to the increase of the water level of the water level regulating chamber 311. When the water level of the water level regulating chamber 311 has not yet reached the point where the static part 342 and the movable part 341 are in sealing contact, the float bracket 330 rotates from the first position to the second position. When the water level in the water level regulating chamber 311 reaches the set value, the float bracket 330 is located at the first position, the movable component 341 contacts the stationary component 342, and the stationary component 342 and the movable component 341 are in sealing contact to close the water inlet 312, so that the water level regulating chamber 311 and the water chamber 102 are disconnected, thereby achieving the water sealing effect.

In some embodiments, the float bracket 330 is in the second position, and the movable part 341 is in line contact with the stationary part 342. In other words, the movable part 341 is in edge contact with the stationary part 342. As the float bracket 330 changes from the second position to the first position, the movable part 341 gradually becomes in surface contact with the stationary part 342. When the float bracket 330 is in the second position, the movable part 341 is in sealing contact with the stationary part 342.

It is understandable that, when the height of the stationary component 342 is different, the water level of the water level regulating chamber 311 that makes the stationary component 342 and the movable component 341 sealed and contacted is also different, and the water level setting value of the atomizing chamber 201 is also changed accordingly. In some embodiments, the height of the stationary component 342 is adjustable, thereby changing the water level setting value of the atomizing chamber 201.

According to an embodiment of the present application, at least one of the stationary component 342 and the movable component 341 is a flexible component. For example, the movable component 341 is a flexible component. When the float bracket 330 is located at the first position, the flexible movable component 341 contacts the stationary component 342, and the float 320 A better sealing effect can be achieved by generating a smaller buoyancy. Of course, the stationary component 342 and the movable component 341 are not limited by the examples given here, and the stationary component 342 can also be a flexible component, or the stationary component 342 and the movable component 341 can both be flexible components. In some embodiments, the movable component 341 is silica gel, and the water sealing effect is good when the movable component 341 and the stationary component 342 are in contact. In Figure 4, the stationary component protrusion 342 has an annular flexible portion, which forms an annular surface seal with the movable component 341.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the stationary component 342 can be detachably mounted on the water inlet 312 , and the movable component 341 can be detachably mounted on the float bracket 330 , so as to facilitate the disassembly, assembly and maintenance of the stationary component 342 and the movable component 341 .

According to an embodiment of the present application, please refer to FIG. 4 , a protrusion 350 is provided on the bottom wall of the water level regulating chamber 311, and the float bracket 330 is hinged to the protrusion 350. One end of the float bracket 330 is hinged to the protrusion 350 having a certain height, so that the float bracket 330 naturally tilts toward one end of the float 320 under the action of gravity. The present application does not limit the shape of the protrusion 350, as long as the protrusion 350 is higher than the bottom wall of the water level regulating chamber 311 and can be hinged to the float bracket 330.

It is understandable that the height of the protrusion 350 matches the setting position of the static component 342, so that when the movable component 341 of the float bracket 330 hinged on the protrusion 350 contacts the static component 342, the water inlet 312 is completely sealed.

According to an embodiment of the present application, referring to FIG. 3 , the housing 310 of the water level regulating assembly 300 includes a cover 360 and a housing body 370. The cover 360 is detachably mounted on the housing body 370, and a water level regulating chamber 301 is formed between the cover 360 and the housing body 370. The float 320, the float bracket 330, and the switch 340 can be installed on the housing body 370 by opening the cover 360. When the cover 360 is closed, the water in the water chamber 101 cannot enter the water level regulating chamber 301 through the gap between the cover 360 and the housing body 370.

It can be understood that, referring to Fig. 3, one side of the housing 310 is connected to the air duct 200, and the cover 360 is arranged on the other side of the housing body 370 corresponding to the air duct 200. Of course, the arrangement position of the cover 360 is not limited to the example given here, and the cover 360 and the housing body 370 can also be arranged up and down, or in other arrangements, as long as the housing body 370 can be sealed.

It is understood that the cover 360 is a screw cover, the shell body 370 is provided with threads, and the cover 360 can be connected by screwing to the shell body 370. Alternatively, referring to FIG. 3 , the cover 360 is provided with a silicone sealing ring, and the cover 360 can be sealed to the shell body 370 by pressing. Of course, the cover 360 and the shell body 370 can also be connected in other ways.

In one embodiment, referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 , the cover 360 is disposed on an opposite side of a common side wall of the housing 310 and the mist guide tube 200 , and the cover is detachably mounted on the housing 310 .

There may be a certain gap between the cover 360 and the inner wall surface of the main body 100. In particular, when the shape of the cover 360 matches the shape of the inner wall surface of the main body 100, the assembly and disassembly of the mist guide assembly 150 can be facilitated.

According to an embodiment of the present application, the mist guide tube 200 is provided with a groove 211 , and the main body 100 is provided with an elastic buckle 112 that cooperates with the groove 211 .
