Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air humidifiers, and in particular to a humidifier housing module and a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] A humidifier is an electrical appliance that increases the humidity of the environment. Conventional hot mist humidifiers use a heating plate to atomize the liquid and then mix it with the cold mist generated by the high-frequency oscillation of the atomizing plate and then output it. However, the humidifier is prone to scale during the heating process. The scale diffuses to the atomizing plate with the molecular thermal motion or water flow, and settles on the surface of the atomizing plate, making it impossible for the atomizing plate to emit mist normally. Existing humidifiers are often equipped with descaling devices or water softening devices to achieve the purpose of descaling, but the cost of descaling with descaling devices or water softening devices is high.

The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a humidifier housing module 100. The humidifier housing module 100 includes a base 10, and the base 10 includes a water tank 30. Specifically, the water tank 30 is used to contain liquid water, and the water tank 30 is divided into a water replenishment tank area 31, a cold mist tank area 32, and a hot mist tank area 33. In this embodiment, the humidifier housing module 100 is used as an installation carrier for installing electronic devices. At the same time, the humidifier housing module 100 also plays a role in protecting electronic devices. The electronic device can be a heating device, an atomizing device, a fan assembly, etc., and the electronic device is arranged in the installation space formed by the base 10.

[0032] Please refer to 2 to Figure 4 , the embodiment of the present application also provides a humidifier 200 equipped with a humidifier housing module 100, and the humidifier 200 is used to humidify the air. The humidifier 200 may include an atomizing vibrator 210, which is detachably arranged in the cold mist tank area 32 for easy maintenance and replacement. The atomizing vibrator 210 breaks up the liquid water to form cold water mist by oscillation and then transports it to the outside world from the mist outlet or pipeline. Specifically, the atomizing vibrator 210 can be an atomizing sheet, and different atomizing sheets are selected according to different water qualities and purposes of use. As an example, a stainless steel-covered atomizing sheet is selected for a use environment with hard water quality, and a glass-glazed atomizing sheet is selected for an acid-resistant use environment. As another example, the humidifier 200 may also include a control panel (not shown in the figure) and a heat sink (not shown in the figure), the atomizing vibrator 210 is connected to the heat sink and connected to the control panel through the heat sink, and the heat sink is provided to prevent heat accumulation and improve heat dissipation efficiency, thereby ensuring the safety and reliability of the humidifier 200.

[0033] The humidifier 200 may also include a hot mist generating assembly 220, which is detachably disposed in the hot mist water tank area 33 for easy maintenance and replacement. Specifically, the hot mist generating assembly 220 may include a heating element 221, and the humidifier housing module 100 also includes a heating mounting portion 2211, on which the heating element 221 is disposed. The heating element 221 is used to heat liquid water to form hot water mist, and the heating element 221 may be a PCT ceramic heating element, a metal electric heating tube or an electric heating wire heating element, etc., and this embodiment does not impose specific restrictions on this. As an example, the heating element 221 is a PCT ceramic heating element, which has the characteristics of low thermal resistance and high heat exchange efficiency, can generate heat quickly in a short time, and can improve the working efficiency of the humidifier.

[0034] The hot mist generating assembly 220 may also include a fan 222, which is used to blow the hot water mist formed by the heating element to the cold mist water tank area 32, and then mix it with the cold water mist and transport it to the outside from the mist outlet or pipeline. Specifically, the fan 222 is adjacent to the heating element 221, and the mounting platform (not shown in the figure) of the fan 222 is lower than the heating mounting portion 2211, and most of the installed fan 222 is arranged at the lower part of the heating element 221, so that the airflow generated by the fan 222 flows toward the bottom of the heating element 221 and the cold mist water tank area 32, so that the hot water mist generated by the heating element 221 is evenly blown upward by the airflow from the bottom and flows to the cold mist water tank area 32, and mixes with the cold water mist. The fan 222 can speed up the flow speed of the hot water mist and play a guiding role, thereby improving the working efficiency of the humidifier 200. At the same time, the airflow generated by the fan 222 flows to the bottom of the heating element 221, which can also improve the heat dissipation efficiency and ensure the normal use of the heating element 221.

[0035] See also Figure 5 The humidifier 200 may further include a water tank 230, which is detachably mounted and connected to the humidifier housing module 100. The water tank 230 is used to store liquid water. The water tank 230 may include a box body 231 and a cover body 232, the box body 231 having a receiving cavity 2311 and an opening 2312, the opening 2312 being arranged at one end of the box body 231 away from the humidifier housing module 100 and being connected to the receiving cavity 2311. The cover body 232 is connected to the water tank 231 and is used to cover the opening 2312 to prevent dust and impurities from falling into the receiving cavity 2311 and contaminating the liquid water. A mist guide channel 2313 is also provided in the receiving cavity 2311, and the mist guide channel 2313 may be a pipe. The mist guide channel passes through the cover 232 and the box body 231 and connects the outside and the hot mist water tank area 33, so that the water mist formed by the vibration of the atomizing vibrator 210 in the hot mist water tank area 33 flows along the mist guide channel 231 to the outside to humidify the air.

[0036] In the present embodiment, the outer contour of the water tank 230 is roughly in the shape of a cube, and the material of the water tank body 231 and the cover body 232 can be ABS plastic, PC plastic or other hard plastic. This can not only reduce the weight of the water tank 230 to achieve lightweight and easy disassembly and installation, but also enable the water tank 230 to have a certain stability, thereby effectively protecting the components inside the water tank 230. On the other hand, the plastic material has the characteristics of low cost, good plasticity, easy processing, and not easy to break, which can reduce the production cost of the humidifier 200. It should be noted that the material of the water tank body 231 and the cover body 232 can also be other metal materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this. In the present embodiment, the water tank body 231 and the cover body 232 are split and connected, which is convenient for maintenance and water addition. In other embodiments, the water tank body 231 and the cover body 232 can be an integrated design, and a water inlet needs to be opened on the cover body.

[0037] In this embodiment, the box body 2311 also includes a bottom wall 2314 and a peripheral wall 2315 surrounding the bottom wall 2314. A receiving portion (not shown in the figure) is provided on the bottom wall 2314, and the receiving portion is recessed from the side of the bottom wall 2314 away from the humidifier housing module 100 to form a recessed structure, and the recessed structure is used to accommodate the humidifier housing module 100, specifically, it is attached to the surface of the raised structure of the humidifier housing module 100 to improve the rational use of the space of the water tank 230. In some embodiments, a water outlet 233 is also provided on the bottom wall 2314, and the liquid water in the water tank 230 enters the water tank 30 of the humidifier housing module 100 through the water outlet 233 to ensure the normal operation of the atomizing vibrator 210 and the hot mist generating assembly 220.

[0038] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the humidifier 200 further includes a water inlet device 240, which is partially disposed at the water outlet 233 of the bottom wall 2314, and is used to allow the liquid water in the water tank 230 to enter the humidifier housing module 100. Specifically, the water inlet device 240 includes a float structure (not shown in the figure) and a valve structure (not shown in the figure), the float structure can be disposed in the humidifier housing module 100, and the valve structure is fixed at the water outlet 233. The water tank 230 is detachably mounted and connected to the humidifier housing module 100. When the water tank 230 is removed from the humidifier housing module 100, the float structure is detached from the valve structure, and the valve structure is automatically closed to make the water tank 230 closed, so that the water tank 230 can be removed and water can be added. After the water tank 230 is filled with water, it is installed on the humidifier housing module 100. The float structure opens the valve structure, and the water in the water tank 230 enters the humidifier housing module 100. The water inlet device 240 can also include a water level Hall sensor (not shown in the figure), which is used to convert the water flow into an electrical signal output, and thereby detect the change in the water level height in the water tank 30 of the humidifier 200. Specifically, the water inlet device 240 is provided with a water inlet height and a water shortage height. The water inlet height is the water level height when the water tank 230 enters the base 10 for the first time, and the water shortage height is the water level height at which the water level Hall sensor transmits a water shortage signal. The water shortage height represents the maximum limit height of the water level in the water tank 30 under the working state. The water inlet device 240 is used to replenish water in the water tank 30 when the water level in the water tank 30 is lower than the water shortage height, and stop replenishing water in the water tank 30 when the water level in the water tank 30 is higher than the water shortage height.

[0039] As an example, the water inlet height in the water tank 30 may be 27 cm, and the water shortage height may be 24 cm. After the humidifier 200 works normally for 10 minutes, the water level in the water tank 30 is 23 cm. At this time, the top of the float structure lifts up part of the valve structure as the water floats up and down, and a small amount of water flows down. After the humidifier 200 works normally for 20 minutes, the water height in the water tank 30 is 20 cm. At this time, the valve structure is completely lifted up and the water flows down normally.

[0040] As an example, the water tank 230 and the humidifier housing module 100 are connected in a detachable manner by plugging. A first connection portion 2316 may be provided on the bottom wall 2314 of the water tank 230, and a second connection portion 101 may be provided on the humidifier housing module 100. When one of the first connection portion 2316 and the second connection portion 101 is a groove structure, the other is a convex column structure. Specifically, when the first connection portion 2316 is a groove structure, the second connection portion 101 is a convex column structure, and the convex column structure and the groove structure are plugged and connected to realize the rapid positioning and installation of the water tank 230 and the humidifier housing module 100, thereby improving the efficiency of disassembly and assembly.

[0041] In order to further improve the purity of the liquid water entering the humidifier housing module 100, the water inlet device 240 may also include a purification device 241, which may be a descaling device, a water softener, a filter or other purification devices. The purification device 241 is arranged in the water tank 230, and processes the liquid water in the water tank 230. The treated water enters the humidifier housing module 100 through the float structure and the valve structure. The present embodiment does not limit the form of the purification device 241. As an example, the purification device 241 may be a dirt shield, which is arranged in the water tank 230 and covers the water outlet 233. The dirt shield is also provided with a plurality of microporous structures (not shown in the figure), which are used to intercept fine particle impurities in the water, so that the water is further purified and the turbidity of the water is reduced. At the same time, organic matter, bacteria and viruses in the water are removed in large quantities as the turbidity is reduced, and good water quality conditions are provided for the subsequent atomization process. In other embodiments, filters with different aperture sizes (not shown in the figure) may be further arranged in the dirt retaining cover. The specific installation position and the installation quantity of the filters are not limited in this embodiment.

[0042] See also Figure 1In an embodiment of the present application, the humidifier housing module 100 includes a base 10, which is provided with a water tank 30 for containing liquid water, and the water tank 30 is divided into a water replenishment tank area 31, a cold mist tank area 32 and a hot mist tank area 33. The water replenishment tank area 31 is used to connect to the water tank 230 of the humidifier 200, and is provided with a preset water shortage height. When the water level height of the water replenishment tank area is higher than the water shortage height, the water tank 230 stops replenishing water into the water tank 30; when the water level height of the water replenishment tank area 31 is lower than or equal to the water shortage height, the water tank 230 can replenish water into the water tank 30 to maintain the water level height in the water tank 30 at a high level. The cold mist tank area 32 is used to install the atomizing vibrator 210, and the cold mist tank area 32 is connected to one side of the water replenishment tank area 31, and the water flow in the water replenishment tank area 31 can flow to the cold mist tank area 32. The hot mist water tank area 33 is used to install the hot mist generating assembly 220. The hot mist water tank area 33 is connected to the other side of the water replenishment water tank area 31, and the water flow in the water replenishment water tank area 31 can also flow to the hot mist water tank area 33. The hot mist water tank area 33 is adjacent to the cold mist water tank area 32. The hot mist water tank area 33 and the cold mist water tank area 32 are separated by a first partition plate 40. The humidifier housing module 100 includes a plurality of baffles 35, and the plurality of baffles 35 separate the hot mist water tank area 33, the water replenishment water tank area 31 and the cold mist water tank area 32. The plurality of baffles 35 separate the water tank 30 into the water replenishment water tank area 31, the cold mist water tank area 32 and the hot mist water tank area 33. The various areas of the water tank 30 are adjacent to each other, and the division of labor of each area is clear, the arrangement is compact, and the layout is reasonable, which can improve the working efficiency of the humidifier 200 to a certain extent. In addition, the first partition plate 40 of the humidifier housing module 100 separates the hot mist tank area 33 and the cold mist tank area 32, so that the liquid water in the tank 10 cannot flow directly from the hot mist tank area 33 to the cold mist tank area 32. On the one hand, it can prevent the liquid water from directly flushing the atomizing vibrator 210 in a shorter path, thereby reducing the scale settling on the surface of the atomizing vibrator 210 and improving the mist output efficiency; on the other hand, the liquid water is blocked at the first partition plate 40, and the scale in the liquid water settles and accumulates at the first partition plate 40, which is convenient for the collection and cleaning of the scale and improves the maintenance and cleaning efficiency of the user. At the same time, the first partition plate 40 is also used to guide the flow direction of the water flow and improve the flow efficiency of the liquid water. Next, each component of the humidifier housing module 100 and the specific structure of each component will be introduced one by one.

[0043] See also Figure 1In this embodiment, the base 10 is used as a supporting structure of the humidifier housing module 100, and is used to support the use platform of the humidifier housing module 100, and the use platform can be a support plane such as the ground or a desktop. The base 10 can be divided into a first area (not shown in the figure) and a second area (not shown in the figure) of the stack. The first area is a water tank area, which is used to generate and transport water mist. The second area is an installation area, which is used to install a circuit board and a wire to achieve electrical connection between the humidifier 200 and an external circuit. The base 10 is suitable for matching the outer contour and size of the water tank 230. As an example, the base 10 is a cube, and the material of the base 10 can be ABS plastic, PC plastic or other hard plastic. This can not only reduce the weight of the base 10 to achieve lightweight and easy disassembly and installation, but also enable the base 10 to have a certain stability, thereby effectively protecting the components inside the base 10. On the other hand, the plastic material has the characteristics of low cost, good plasticity, easy processing, and not easy to break, which can reduce the production cost of the humidifier. It should be noted that the base 10 may also be made of other metal materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper, etc., and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0044] See also Figure 6 , there is a water tank 30 on the base 10, and the water tank 30 is used to hold liquid water. The water tank 30 divides the base 10 into a water replenishment tank area 31, a cold mist tank area 32 and a hot mist tank area 33. The areas are adjacent to each other, and the division of labor is clear and the arrangement is compact and the layout is reasonable, which can improve the working efficiency of the humidifier to a certain extent. Specifically, the water replenishment tank area 31 is used to connect to the water tank 230 of the humidifier and is preset with a water shortage height. The liquid water in the water tank 230 can flow to the cold mist tank area 32 and the hot mist tank area 33 through the water replenishment tank area 31. The cold mist tank area 32 is used to install the atomizing vibrator 210 and form a cold water mist. The cold mist tank area 32 is connected to one side of the water replenishment tank area 31, so that the water flow in the water replenishment tank area 31 can flow to the cold mist tank area 32. The hot mist water tank area 33 is used to install the hot mist generating assembly 220 and transport the hot mist to the cold mist water tank area 32. The hot mist water tank area 33 is connected to the other side of the water replenishing water tank area 31, so that the water flow in the water replenishing water tank area 31 can also flow to the hot mist water tank area 33. In some embodiments, the installation height of the hot mist generating assembly 220 can be lower than the installation height of the atomizing vibrator 210, so as to prevent the scale of the hot mist water tank area 33 from flowing down to the cold mist water tank area 32, thereby improving the misting effect of the humidifier 200.

[0045] See also Figure 6In this embodiment, a water flow channel 34 is also provided in the water tank 30. The water flow channel 34 is provided between the hot mist water tank area 33 and the water replenishment water tank area 31, and the water flow channel 34 and the hot mist water tank area 33 are connected to each other. By providing the water flow channel 34, the flow length of the water flow in the hot mist water tank area 33 and the water replenishment water tank area 31 can be increased, so as to facilitate the sedimentation of scale and impurities, thereby providing good water quality conditions for the subsequent atomization process. Further, the water flow channel 34 can have a bending section 341, so that the water flow channel 34 is arranged in a curved manner, which can further extend the flow length of the water flow on the basis of the hot mist water tank area 33 and the water replenishment water tank area 31 being adjacent to each other and maintaining a compact space, so as to facilitate sufficient time for scale and impurities to settle. In some embodiments, the water flow channel 34 can also be provided with a labyrinth-like retaining wall (not shown in the figure), which divides the water flow channel 34 into sub-channels (not shown in the figure), which can increase the flow length of the water flow and thus improve the sedimentation effect of scale and impurities. It should be noted that the present embodiment does not limit the number of retaining walls. The more retaining walls there are, the more sub-channels are separated and formed, and the better the sedimentation effect of scale and impurities is.

[0046] See also Figure 6 In order to prevent the water flow in the hot mist water tank area 33 from flowing directly to the cold mist water tank area 32 in a short path, so as to prevent the scale and impurities flowing in the short path from being effectively removed and easily accumulated on the surface of the atomizing vibrator 210, the hot mist water tank area 33 and the cold mist water tank area 32 are separated by a first partition plate 40. The first partition plate 40 protrudes from the bottom wall of the water tank 30 of the base 10, blocks the shorter flow path of the liquid water in the hot mist water tank area 33 and the liquid water in the cold mist water tank area 32, and makes the water between the two flow through the flow path where the water flow channel 34 is located. On the one hand, it can prevent the liquid water from directly flushing the atomizing vibrator 210 in a shorter path, thereby reducing the scale settling on the surface of the atomizing vibrator 210 and improving the misting efficiency; on the other hand, the liquid water is blocked at the first partition plate 40, and the scale in the liquid water settles and accumulates at the first partition plate 40, which is convenient for the collection and cleaning of the scale, and improves the maintenance and cleaning efficiency of the user. At the same time, the first partition plate 40 is also used to guide the flow direction of water and improve the flow efficiency of liquid water. Further, in some embodiments, when the humidifier housing module 100 is placed horizontally for operation, the height of the first partition plate 40 is higher than the water shortage height, which can prevent the liquid water from jumping over the first partition plate 40 and flushing the atomizing vibrator 210 due to the flushing effect, thereby improving the stability of the humidifier mist output.

[0047] In this embodiment, the humidifier housing module 100 includes a plurality of baffles 35, and the plurality of baffles 35 protrude relative to the bottom wall of the base 10. The plurality of baffles 35 are located on the flow path of the water flow, and separate the hot mist water tank area 33, the cold mist water tank area 32, and the water replenishment water tank area 31. By providing a plurality of baffles 35, the flushing speed of the water flow can be reduced, thereby facilitating the sedimentation and accumulation of scale.

[0048] Specifically, see Figure 6 , the plurality of baffles 35 include a first baffle 351, and the first baffle 351 is arranged between the water flow channel 34 and the water replenishment tank area 31. Specifically, the first baffle 351 plays the role of separating the areas, and the first baffle 351 separates the water flow channel 34 from the water replenishment tank area 31, so that the water flow is hindered when passing through the first baffle 351, and the water flow speed is reduced, which is convenient for the sedimentation of scale and impurities. At the same time, most of the settled scale and impurities are accumulated at the first baffle 351, which is convenient for the collection and cleaning of scale. In some embodiments, the first baffle 351 can also be connected to the humidifier housing module 100 by plugging, and the first baffle 351 can be disassembled to improve the cleaning efficiency when cleaning scale and impurities. It should be noted that when the humidifier housing module 100 is placed horizontally, the height of the first baffle 35 is lower than the water shortage height, which is convenient for the flow of water and can ensure the reliability of water blocking.

[0049] The plurality of baffles 35 may also include a second baffle 352, which is disposed between the cold mist water tank area 32 and the water replenishment water tank area 31. The second baffle 352 is used to again block the liquid water flowing out through the first baffle 351 or to block the liquid water flowing directly out of the water replenishment water tank area 31 to the cold mist water tank area 32. Specifically, the second baffle 352 separates the cold mist water tank area 32 from the water replenishment water tank area 31 to prevent the water flow from flowing quickly and directly, thereby preventing more scale and impurities from being easily deposited on the surface of the atomizing vibrator 210. When the water flows through the second baffle 352, the water flow velocity is reduced, which facilitates the sedimentation and accumulation of scale and impurities, and facilitates the collection and cleaning of scale. The second baffle 352 can also be connected to the humidifier housing module 100 by plugging, and the first baffle 351 can be disassembled when cleaning scale and impurities to improve cleaning efficiency. It should be noted that the height of the second baffle 352 is lower than the water shortage height, which can prevent excessive water flow from entering the cold mist water tank area 32 on the one hand, and ensure the normal operation of the water inlet Hall sensor on the other hand. It is understandable that the height of the second baffle 352 can be higher than the height of the first baffle 351, or lower than the height of the first baffle 351, and this embodiment does not limit this. As an installation example, when the humidifier housing module 100 is placed horizontally, the height of the second baffle 352 is higher than the height of the first baffle 351. On the one hand, due to the large amount of water in the replenishment water tank area 31, the higher baffle can extend the residence time of the water flow in the replenishment water tank area 31, thereby improving the sedimentation effect of scale and impurities. On the other hand, the higher second baffle 352 can change the flow path of part of the water flow, so that the water flow flows to the hot mist water tank area 33 to form hot mist. In addition, the first baffle 351 and the second baffle 352 with a certain height also have the function of preventing water flow from flowing back. Specifically, water is easy to turn when flowing toward the hot mist water tank area 33, and the first baffle 351 and the second baffle 352 can hinder the backflow of water, thereby ensuring the normal operation of the hot mist generating assembly.

[0050] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In this embodiment, the humidifier housing module 100 further includes a second partition plate 60. Specifically, the second partition plate 60 protrudes relative to the bottom wall of the hot mist tank area 33 and is disposed between the water replenishment tank area 31 and the hot mist tank area 33.

[0051] One end of the second partition plate 60 is connected to the first partition plate 40, and the first partition plate 40 and the second partition plate 60 together surround and form a hot mist water trough area 33, and the second partition plate 60 is located at the boundary between the hot mist water trough area 33 and the water replenishment trough area 31. The humidifier housing module 100 also includes a water enclosure 50, which is arranged around the hot mist water trough area 33 and is used to collect liquid water flowing through the hot mist water trough area 33. The surrounding area of ​​the water enclosure 50 is separated from the first partition plate 40 and the second partition plate 60 and there is a spacing space, and the spacing area forms a water inlet channel 37. The water inlet channel 37 is connected to the water flow channel 34, so that the water flow can flow to the water inlet channel 37 through the water flow channel via the water replenishment trough area 31. The water enclosure 50 is also provided with a water inlet notch 51 (please refer to Fig.10 ), the water inlet notch 51 and the water inlet flow channel 37 are connected to each other. Specifically, the water inlet notch 51 is arranged at the bottom of the water surrounding part 50 and is located away from the water flow channel 34, which can make the scale and impurities in the water flow fully settle after passing through the longer water flow path, providing good water quality conditions for the subsequent atomization process. Furthermore, the size of the water inlet notch 51 is small, which can slow down the outflow rate of hot water and prevent the scale in the water surrounding part 50 from flowing out and depositing. In addition, the double-layer partition structure formed by the water surrounding part, the first partition plate 40 and the second partition plate 60 can improve the thermal insulation effect and prevent the temperature of the hot mist or hot water from decreasing too quickly.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first partition plate 40 includes a mounting portion 41 and a water retaining portion 42. The water retaining portion protrudes from the side of the mounting portion away from the water inlet channel 37, and blocks the short flow path between the water flow channel 34 and the cold mist water tank area 32, so that the water flow cannot pass through. The first partition plate 40 and the second partition plate 60 can not only divide the water tank into the water replenishment tank area 31, the hot mist water tank area 33 and the cold mist water tank area 32, but also play a role in water retaining. In addition, the water inlet channel 37 formed by the first partition plate 40 and the second partition plate 60 can increase the water flow path, so that the scale and impurities in the liquid water can be fully settled in the water inlet channel 37, providing good water quality conditions for the subsequent atomization process. In addition, the protruding height of the first partition plate 40 is equal to the protruding height of the second partition plate 60, and the protruding height of the first partition plate 40 and the second partition plate 60 is higher, which can also play a certain role in water storage.

[0053] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7In this embodiment, the humidifier housing module 100 also includes a hot air duct 38. The hot air duct 38 is arranged on the mounting platform of the fan 222 and covers the fan 222, which is used to install the fan 222 and guide the air. Specifically, the hot air duct 38 is connected to one end of the second partition plate 60 and is spaced apart from the heating mounting portion. An air outlet 381 is also provided at one end of the hot air duct 38 away from the fan 222. The air outlet 381 connects the air inside and outside the hot air duct 38. The airflow generated by the fan 222 flows in the extension direction of the hot air duct 38 and is discharged through the air outlet 381. On the one hand, the upward airflow generated by the fan 381 can be concentrated in the hot air duct 38 to improve the utilization rate of the air volume. On the other hand, the airflow can be transported to the upper area and blow the hot water mist concentrated in the upper area, thereby blowing the hot water mist to the cold mist tank area 32 to improve the misting efficiency. It can be understood that the upper area is the side away from the heating installation part. Since the water mist is fluid and light, it is easy to flow upward and flows disorderly. The airflow outflowing from the hot air duct 38 can blow the hot water mist in a direction to improve the utilization rate of the water mist.

[0054] Please refer again Figure 4 and Figures 8 to 9 In order to further improve the directional flow of hot water mist, the humidifier housing module 100 may also include an air guide hood 70. The air guide hood 70 covers the hot mist water tank area 33 and the cold mist water tank area 32, which is used to concentrate the hot water mist and wind flow. Specifically, the air guide hood 70 includes a hot mist channel 71, which is arranged above the hot mist water tank area 33. The hot water mist formed by the heating element 221 is concentrated in the hot mist channel 71, which can further improve the utilization efficiency of the water mist. At the same time, the airflow flowing out through the air outlet 381 is also concentrated in the hot mist channel 71, and the flow in the hot mist channel 71 can improve the utilization efficiency of the wind flow. The air guide hood 70 also includes a mist outlet channel 72, which is arranged above the cold mist water tank area 32 and connected to the hot mist channel 71. The hot water mist can flow to the mist outlet channel 72 through the hot mist channel 71 and vibrate with the atomizing vibrator 210 to form a cold water mist mixture, and move to the outside through the mist outlet channel 72 to humidify the air. The mist outlet channel 72 is provided to improve the mist outlet efficiency and guide the flow direction of the water mist as a guide component.

[0055] Please refer again Fig. 9It should be noted that in order to further improve the stability of the connection between the air guide cover 70 and the humidifier housing module 100, the water surrounding portion 50 can be arranged inside the air guide cover 70 and fixedly connected to the air guide cover 70. The water surrounding portion 50 is used to support the air guide cover 70, and the present embodiment does not limit the specific form of the water surrounding portion 50. In the present embodiment, the water surrounding portion 50 can be integrally formed with the air guide cover 70. Specifically, the water surrounding portion 50 extends from the inner wall surface of the air guide cover 70 toward one side of the hot mist water tank area 33, and is plugged and installed in the hot mist water tank area. In other embodiments, the water surrounding portion 50 can be extended from the bottom wall of the hot mist water tank area 33 toward the air guide cover 70, and has an interference fit with the inner wall of the air guide cover 70, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the air guide cover 70 and the humidifier housing module 100. It should be noted that a wind guide notch 74 is further provided on one side of the top plate of the water surrounding portion 50 close to the wind guide cover 70 . The wind guide notch 74 is used to interconnect the interior of the wind guide cover 70 to facilitate the flow of air.

[0056] See also Fig.10 It should be noted that in the present embodiment, there is a certain spacing space between the bottom of the air guide cover 70 and the bottom wall of the water tank 10 of the humidifier housing module 100, so that the air guide cover 70 can be suspended relative to the bottom wall of the water tank 10. Water can flow into the hot mist water tank area 33 from the suspended area. Specifically, a matching bayonet 73 is provided on the side of the air guide cover 70 close to the bottom wall of the water tank 10, and the matching bayonet 73 is snapped on the water retaining part 42 to realize the suspended setting. At this time, the end of the water surrounding part 50 and the bottom wall of the hot mist water tank area 33 are against each other, so that water can flow from the suspended area into the hot mist water tank area 33, and then flow to the water inlet gap 51 through the water inlet channel 37, and finally reach the internal space of the water surrounding part 50.

[0057] Please refer again Figure 6 In order to further reduce the precipitation of scale or impurities on the surface of the atomizing vibrator 210, the humidifier housing module 100 also includes a perimeter bone 321. In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the cold mist water tank area 32 is recessed to form a groove for installing the atomizing vibrator 210, and the perimeter bone 321 surrounds the outer circumference of the groove and protrudes relative to the bottom wall of the cold mist water tank area 32. The perimeter bone 321 can further hinder the water flow, reduce the flow rate of the liquid water flow, facilitate the precipitation of scale or impurities, and provide good water quality conditions for the subsequent atomization process. At the same time, scale and impurities can accumulate around the perimeter bone 321, which is convenient for the collection and cleaning of scale and impurities.

[0058] In this embodiment, the plurality of baffles 35 may further include a third baffle 353, which is disposed around the periphery of the rib 321 and protrudes relative to the bottom wall of the cold mist water tank area 32. The third baffle 353 is used to further block the water flow and further block scale. When the humidifier housing module 100 is placed horizontally for use, the height of the third baffle 353 is equal to or higher than the height of the rib 321, thereby having a better interception effect on scale.

[0059] Please refer again Figure 8 In this embodiment, the humidifier housing module 100 also includes a noise reduction structure (not shown in the figure) and a mist guide pipe 721. The mist guide pipe 721 is connected to the bottom wall and is covered with a groove, and the noise reduction structure is arranged on the side of the mist guide pipe 721 away from the bottom wall. As an example, the mist guide pipe 721 can be integrally formed with the air guide cover 70 to form a mist outlet channel 72. The mist guide pipe 721 can also be a separate pipe cover arranged in the groove. The noise reduction structure can be a silencer, which is installed inside the mist guide pipe to reduce noise.

[0060] In summary, the embodiment of the present application provides a humidifier housing module 100, which includes a base 10 and a plurality of baffles 35. The base 10 is provided with a water tank, wherein the plurality of baffles 35 divide the water tank 30 into a water replenishment tank area 31, a cold mist tank area 32, and a hot mist tank area 33. The various areas of the above-mentioned tanks are adjacent to each other, and the division of labor of each area is clear and the arrangement is compact and the layout is reasonable, which can improve the working efficiency of the humidifier to a certain extent. At the same time, the plurality of baffles 35 are also used to hinder the flow of water, which can reduce the flushing speed of the water flow, thereby facilitating the sedimentation and collection of scale and improving the working stability of the humidifier 200. In addition, the humidifier housing module 100 also includes a first partition plate 40, which separates the hot mist tank area 33 and the cold mist tank area 32, so that the liquid water in the tank cannot flow directly from the hot mist tank area 33 to the cold mist tank area 32. On the one hand, it can prevent the liquid water from directly flushing the atomizing vibrator 210 in a shorter path, thereby reducing the scale settling on the surface of the atomizing vibrator 210 and improving the misting efficiency; on the other hand, the liquid water is blocked at the first partition plate 40, and the scale in the liquid water settles and accumulates at the first partition plate 40, which is convenient for the collection and cleaning of the scale and improves the maintenance and cleaning efficiency of the user. At the same time, the first partition plate 40 is also used to guide the flow direction of the water flow and improve the flow efficiency of the liquid water.
