It can be a wireless connection or a wired connection. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific situations.

[0029] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0030] With the gradual improvement of people's living standards, many intelligent household appliances have gradually been favored by people. Since in winter or dry weather conditions, dry air will bring many problems to people's bodies and daily life, people usually use humidifiers to increase air humidity and make the living environment more comfortable. In order to improve the user experience, a softening device is added to the water tank of the humidifier on the current market. However, in the prior art, after water enters the softening device provided in the water tank, due to the structural limitation of the softening device in the water tank, the water does not fully contact the softening resin in the softening device after entering, resulting in an unclear soft water effect obtained by softening. A humidifier water tank and a humidifier provided in this application can solve the problem that the water in the humidifier water tank in the prior art is not fully softened and the softening effect is not obvious.

[0031] As Figure 1 - Figure 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a humidifier water tank, which includes: a main body 1 and a softening device disposed inside the main body 1. The main body 1 is provided with a water storage cavity for placing water for the humidifier. The softening device is provided with a water inlet communicating with the water storage cavity and a water outlet communicating with the main body 1. The softening device further has a flow cavity 12 for the water to flow between the water inlet and the water outlet. The flow cavity 12 includes a number of mutually connected circulation cavities, and the inlet 15 of one circulation cavity is connected to the outlet of the adjacent circulation cavity. The flow cavity 12 is also filled with softening resin.

[0032] In this way, when the raw water containing hardness passes through a number of mutually connected circulation cavities of the softening device, calcium and magnesium ions in the water are adsorbed by the softening resin in the circulation cavities, and at the same time sodium ions are released, so that the softening device can fully soften the water in the circulation cavities. Since under the action of ultrasonic waves, a large number of trace elements in hard water will be transported into the room along with the mist generated by the humidifier, and it will also affect the health of the human body after being inhaled by users. When using soft water in the humidifier, it can prevent problems such as internal scale accumulation, pipeline blockage, and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier, and can also reduce the absorption of trace elements in hard water, thus optimizing the user experience. A number of mutually connected circulation cavities increase the softening path of the water, thereby greatly improving the softening effect on the water.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, one end of the flow cavity 12 is provided with a water inlet, and the other end is provided with a water outlet. The water outlet is connected to the water inlet pipe of the humidifier base 2. When the humidifier is working, the water in the main body 1 flows into from the water inlet at one end of the flow cavity 12. After passing through the softening resin disposed inside the flow cavity 12, the soft water flows out from the water outlet at the other end of the flow cavity 12, and then flows to the humidifier base 2 through the water outlet communicating with the main body 1, so that the humidifier atomizes the soft water to generate water mist.

[0034] By setting like this, the softened water in the water tank can be directly directed to the humidifier base 2 for atomization, thereby preventing problems such as internal scale accumulation, pipeline blockage, and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier, and optimizing the user experience.

[0035] In order to further optimize the function of the softening device, the embodiment of the present invention also covers the water inlet and the water outlet at both ends of the flow cavity 12 with a filter screen 13. Since the softening resin is disposed inside the flow cavity 12, it can prevent the resin in the flow cavity 12 from leaking outwards while ensuring that the water can normally enter the flow cavity 12. By setting like this, the filter screen 13 can also remove impurities in the water, and further prevent problems such as pipeline blockage and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier, and optimize the user experience.

[0036] In the softening device, there are several baffles 11 nested with each other. The first surface of the baffle 11 is connected to the bottom of the body 1, that is, the bottom surface of the baffle 11 is connected to the bottom of the body 1; the second surface of the baffle 11 is covered with a cover plate 16, that is, the upper surface of the baffle 11 is covered with the cover plate 16, and the cover plate 16 and the baffle 11 enclose a flow chamber 12. Moreover, a circulation chamber is formed between two adjacent baffles 11, and the inlet 15 and outlet of the circulation chamber are opened on the baffle 11. With such a setting, the flow path of water in the softening device can be increased, so that the softening device can fully soften the water in the flow path, improving the softening effect on water. Furthermore, problems such as internal scale accumulation, pipe blockage, and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier can be prevented, optimizing the user experience. A cover plate 16 is provided at one end of the softening device away from the water outlet. With such a setting, while preventing the resin in the flow chamber 12 from leaking out, it can also ensure that water can normally enter the flow chamber 12.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present invention, the baffle 11 is arranged in a cylindrical shape, which can greatly increase the flow path of water in the softening device compared with the shapes of other baffles 11. Thus, the softening device can fully soften the water in the flow path, significantly improving the softening effect on water. Furthermore, problems such as internal scale accumulation, pipe blockage, and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier can be prevented, optimizing the user experience.

[0038] As another implementation manner, the baffle 11 can also be arranged in a polygon, such as a regular hexagon. Of course, it can also be set as an ellipse, as long as it can increase the flow path of water in the softening device. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit this, and those skilled in the art can change it according to the actual situation as long as the same technical effects can be achieved.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging the baffle 11 in a cylindrical shape, the flow path of water in the softening device can be greatly increased compared with the shapes of other baffles 11. Thus, the softening device can fully soften the water in the flow path, significantly improving the softening effect on water. Furthermore, problems such as internal scale accumulation, pipe blockage, and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier can be prevented, optimizing the user experience.

[0040] A positioning rib 14 is arranged in each circulation chamber. The positioning rib 14 is connected between two adjacent baffles 11, and the outlet of the circulation chamber is arranged close to the positioning rib 14. A plurality of the positioning ribs 14 are integrally arranged. The inlet 15 and outlet parts of the circulation chamber are covered with a filter net 13. A cover plate 16 is provided at one end of the softening device away from the water outlet.

[0041] With such a setting, the stability between adjacent baffles 11 can be enhanced, ensuring that the softening device can operate stably when water passes through the circulation chambers formed between the baffles 11. Moreover, the positioning ribs 14 can connect several mutually communicating circulation chambers into one body, thereby increasing the flow path of water in the softening device, enabling the softening device to fully soften the water in the flow path and improving the water softening effect. Furthermore, it can prevent problems such as internal scale accumulation, pipe blockage, and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier, optimizing the user experience.

[0042] In the embodiment of the present invention, a filter screen 13 is also covered at the inlet 15 and the outlet part of the circulation chamber. With such a setting, while preventing the resin in the flow chamber 12 from leaking outwards, it can also ensure that water can normally enter the flow chamber 12. It can also remove impurities in the water, and further prevent problems such as pipe blockage and low humidification efficiency in the humidifier, optimizing the user experience.

[0043] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a humidifier, including a base 2 and the humidifier water tank described in any one of the above. The base 2 is used to support the main body 1 of the humidifier water tank, and the water outlet of the main body 1 is communicated with the water inlet pipe of the base 2.

[0044] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear illustration and not limitations on the implementation manners. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
