Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a humidifier, in particular to a humidifier with adjustable mist outlet direction. Background Art

[0002] Humidifiers are relatively popular devices in recent years. They are mainly used to humidify the air to prevent users' skin from feeling dry and make users feel more comfortable. However, affected by the traditional mist outlet structure, most humidifiers on the market cannot automatically change the mist outlet direction, resulting in uneven humidification of the surrounding air. When users need to change the mist outlet direction, they need to complete the operation manually. It can be seen that the control of the mist outlet direction of existing humidifiers is more troublesome, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0003] Therefore, further improvements are needed. Summary of the invention

[0007] There is a magnetic field attraction between the first acting component and the second acting component, which drives the two to approach each other; when the distance between the first acting component and the second acting component is small enough so that the magnetic field attraction between them is large enough, the first acting component and the second acting component attract each other, and a friction resistance is generated between the mist outlet component and the humidifier body, which hinders the free rotation of the mist outlet component.

[0008] An elastic member is arranged between the first acting member and the second acting member to drive the two to move away from each other; when the distance between the first acting member and the second acting member is large enough so that the magnetic field attraction between them is small enough, the elastic member acts to keep the first acting member and the second acting member away from each other, the friction resistance between the mist outlet member and the humidifier body disappears, and the mist outlet member rotates freely.

[0009] The first action component is provided with a positioning groove, and the second action component is provided with a positioning convex rib. The positioning groove and the positioning convex rib are interlocked with each other to generate a snap resistance between the mist outlet component and the humidifier body to prevent the mist outlet component from rotating freely.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0027] First embodiment

[0028] See also Figure 1-Figure 3The humidifier with adjustable mist outlet direction comprises a humidifier body 1, a mist outlet component 2 rotatably arranged on the humidifier body 1 and used for spraying, and a mode switching component for controlling the free rotation or manual rotation of the mist outlet component 2; the humidifier body 1 involved in this embodiment is a device covering the top of a water storage tank, the water storage tank is used to store water, and an atomizer is arranged on the water storage tank to atomize the water; a mist outlet channel 101 is arranged on the inner side of the humidifier body 1, and a mist outlet nozzle 201 connected to the mist outlet channel 101 is opened on one side of the top of the mist outlet component 2, the mist inlet end of the mist outlet channel 101 is connected to the inner cavity of the water storage tank, and the mist outlet end of the mist outlet channel 101 is connected to the mist outlet nozzle 201, and the mist outlet component 2 has a certain upward and downward mobility relative to the humidifier body 1; mode switching The component includes a linkage fan blade 8 connected to the mist outlet component 2, a first acting component that moves with the movement of the mist outlet component 2, and a second acting component arranged on the humidifier body 1; the linkage fan blade 8 is arranged on the inner side of the mist outlet channel 101, and the mist outlet component 2 rotates with the linkage fan blade 8. The linkage fan blade 8 in this structure is driven to rotate by wind force, thereby driving the mist outlet component 2 to rotate; when the first acting component moves with the mist outlet component 2 to interact with the second acting component, a resistance that hinders the free rotation of the mist outlet component 2 is generated between the mist outlet component 2 and the humidifier body 1; when the first acting component moves with the mist outlet component 2 to not interfere with the second acting component, the linkage fan blade 8 drives the mist outlet component 2 to rotate freely relative to the humidifier body 1 under the action of wind force.

[0029] Furthermore, there is a magnetic field attraction between the first acting component and the second acting component that drives the two to approach each other; when the distance between the first acting component and the second acting component is small enough so that the magnetic field attraction between them is large enough, the first acting component and the second acting component attract each other, so that the first acting component drives the mist outlet component 2 to approach the second acting component, so that a friction resistance that hinders the free rotation of the mist outlet component 2 is generated between the mist outlet component 2 and the humidifier body 1, and the existence of the friction resistance causes the linkage fan blade 8 to no longer drive the mist outlet component 2 to act, but the user can manually overcome the friction resistance to control the rotation of the mist outlet component 2. Specifically, the first acting component is the first permanent magnet 3, and the second acting component is the second permanent magnet 7. The first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 7 have opposite poles to generate magnetic field attraction. The smaller the distance between the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 7, the greater the magnetic field attraction.

After the friction resistance disappears, the wind force in the mist outlet channel 101 can drive the linked fan blade 8 to rotate freely, thereby allowing the mist outlet component 2 to rotate freely.

[0031] Furthermore, a mounting component 4 for connecting the linkage fan blade 8 is provided on the mist outlet component 2, and the first action component is fixedly arranged on the inner side of the mounting component 4 and is arranged in a split manner.

The second barb 401 is snap-connected with the second card slot 203 to prevent the installation component 4 and the mist outlet component 2 from detaching from each other, and the stop groove 204 and the stop rib 402 are embedded with each other to prevent the installation component 4 from rotating relative to the mist outlet component 2.

[0033] Furthermore, a fixed cylinder 6 is provided on the inner side of the humidifier body 1, and the second action component is fixedly arranged on the fixed cylinder 6 and is arranged in a split manner; a central shaft sleeve 601 is provided on the inner side of the fixed cylinder 6, and the rotating shaft on the linkage fan blade 8 can be rotatably passed through the central shaft sleeve 601 from bottom to top, and is connected to the mist outlet component 2 through the mounting component 4.

[0034] Furthermore, a third barb 202 is integrally formed on the outer wall of the mist outlet component 2, and a third slot 102 is integrally formed on the inner wall of the humidifier body 1. The third barb 202 and the third slot 102 are snap-connected to each other, and the third barb 202 has a certain upward and downward mobility on the third slot 102, so that the mist outlet component 2 has a certain relative mobility on the basis of maintaining a snap-connected connection with the humidifier body 1, so as to control the switching of the rotation mode.
