The mist-guiding rod 3 and / or the aromatherapy chamber are provided with mist outlets 4.

[0041] The mist-guiding rod 3 is rotatably mounted on the aromatherapy cover 2. By placing aromatherapy blocks of different scents in different aromatherapy chambers, the mist generated when the mist-guiding rod 3 rotates to different positions can directly act on the aromatherapy chambers in different positions, thus producing multiple different types of fragrances. By controlling the rotation of the mist-guiding rod 3, the user can flexibly control the fragrance of the mist produced by the humidifier, making the control process simple and efficient.

[0042] The humidifier provided in this embodiment has a mist outlet pipe 5 extending vertically inside the receiving cavity, and a support portion for the rotation of the mist-guiding rod 3 is provided on the inner wall of the mist outlet pipe 5. By providing the mist outlet pipe 5 and the support portion, the mist-guiding rod 3 can be supported and a basis can be provided for its rotation.

[0043] Specifically, the fog-guiding rod 3 itself can be hollow or solid.

[0044] In this embodiment, the humidifier is designed to allow rotation at the end of the mist-inducing rod 3 that sprays out mist, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a first driven gear 6 is provided at the bottom end of the fog-guiding rod 3, a drive motor 7 is provided in the receiving cavity, and a drive gear 8 corresponding to the first driven gear 6 is provided on the drive motor 7.

[0045] In this embodiment, a support ring 9 is provided inside the mist outlet pipe 5. One end of the support ring 9 abuts against the inner wall of the mist outlet pipe 5, and the other end clamps the outer wall of the mist guiding rod 3. By providing the support ring 9, it can be ensured that the mist guiding rod 3 will not tilt or shake during rotation, thereby effectively improving stability.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mist-guiding rod 3 can be simply a hollow rod. The mist flows out from the top of the mist-guiding rod 3 through the interior of the hollow rod. By controlling the angle of the top of the mist-guiding rod 3, the mist can be directed into different aromatherapy chambers.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, the humidifier provided in this embodiment includes a mist-guiding rod 3 comprising: a rod body 31, one end of which is provided with the first driven gear 6; and a mist outlet cover 32, the other end of which is connected to the mist outlet cover 32.

[0048] The mist-guiding rod 3 provided in this embodiment forms a channel for the flow of mist between the mist outlet pipe 5 and the mist-guiding rod 3. After the mist flows upward, it is turned by the mist outlet cover 32 and enters the interior of different aromatherapy chambers.

[0049] In the humidifier provided in this embodiment, in order to connect the mist-guiding rod 3 and the mist-exiting cover 32, a second driven gear 10 is provided at the other end of the rod 31, and a meshing gear is provided at the corresponding part of the mist-exiting cover 32 and the second driven gear 10. Through the cooperation between the meshing gear and the second driven gear 10, the mist can be rotated inside the mist-exiting cover 32.

[0050] In the humidifier provided in this embodiment, the support ring 9 is located below the second driven gear 10.

[0051] The humidifier provided in this embodiment includes a mist outlet cover 32 comprising: a top cover 321; a first inner sealing ring 322 disposed on the top cover 321, wherein the meshing gear is disposed on the inner wall of the first inner sealing ring 322 and a first mating notch 324 is disposed on the side wall of the first inner sealing ring 322; a first outer sealing ring 323 disposed on the top cover 321 and located outside the first inner sealing ring; the aromatherapy chamber acts in the area between the first inner sealing ring 322 and the first outer sealing ring 323; and a mist outlet 4 is disposed on the top cover 321 in the area between the first inner sealing ring 322 and the first outer sealing ring 323.

[0052] With the above-described configuration, the steam entering the first inner sealing ring 322 can flow in a directional manner through the first mating notch 324. When the steam flowing out through the first mating notch 324 reaches different positions in the aromatherapy chamber, it can generate steam with different flavors.

[0053] In the humidifier provided in this embodiment, the mist outlet 4 is arranged collinearly with the first mating notch 324.

[0054] The humidifier provided in this embodiment includes an aromatherapy cover 2 comprising: a bottom cover 21 with a through hole 211 for the rod 31 to pass through; a second inner sealing ring 22 and a second outer sealing ring 23 arranged radially along the bottom cover 21; an aromatherapy chamber disposed between the second inner sealing ring 22 and the second outer sealing ring 23; a second mating notch 24 corresponding to each aromatherapy chamber on the second inner sealing ring 22; and the first inner sealing ring 322 of the mist outlet cover 32 disposed on the inner wall of the second inner sealing ring 22 of the aromatherapy cover 2. Specifically, the steam flowing out through the first mating notch 324 of the mist outlet cover acts on different positions, mixing the fragrances in different positions of the aromatherapy chamber to produce different fragrances. Furthermore, in this embodiment, through the combination of the first and second mating notches, when the mist outlet cover rotates between two adjacent aromatherapy chambers, a mixed fragrance can be produced simultaneously.

[0055] The humidifier provided in this embodiment includes an aromatherapy chamber comprising several partition ribs 12. These partition ribs 12 are arranged radially around the center of the bottom cover 21. By providing the partition ribs 12, different aromatherapy cotton can be stably embedded within the aromatherapy chamber. In this embodiment, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the aromatherapy chamber can be divided into four sections by the partition ribs 12, which can accommodate four different scented aromatherapy cottons. As a variation, the number of aromatherapy cottons can be adjusted by adjusting the number of partition ribs 12.

[0056] In this embodiment, when the number of partition ribs 12 increases to a certain extent, the space occupied by each piece of aromatherapy cotton will also decrease. At this time, the steam flowing out through the first mating notch 324 will act on three, four, or more pieces of aromatherapy cotton, thereby producing a more complex fragrance.

[0057] In the humidifier provided in this embodiment, a top rib 11 is provided at one end of the partition rib 12 near the second inner sealing ring 22, and the top rib 11 is arranged perpendicular to the bottom cover 21. By providing the top rib 11, the stability between the aroma diffuser cover 2 and the first inner sealing ring 322 can be effectively improved, and shaking can be avoided when the mist outlet cover 32 rotates relative to the bottom cover 21.

[0058] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
