Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.
[0027] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific implementation manners and are not intended to limit the exemplary implementation manners according to the present application. As used herein, unless otherwise clearly specified in the context, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or their combinations.
[0028] The present invention provides a humidifier. Please refer to Figures 1 to 6, including: a base 10, on which an air duct 11 is provided, and the air duct 11 has an air outlet 12; a water tank component 20, detachably connected to the base 10, and an adsorbent 30 is provided on the water tank component 20, and the adsorbent 30 is located above the air outlet 12; a waterproof member 40, which has a first position for blocking the air outlet 12 and a second position adsorbed by the adsorbent 30 to be separated from the air outlet 12, and the first position is below the second position; after the water tank component 20 is separated from the base 10, the waterproof member 40 falls from the second position to the first position under the action of gravity.
[0029] The humidifier of the present invention includes a base 10 and a water tank component 20. The water tank component 20 is detachably arranged on the base 10. When the water tank component 20 is placed on the base 10, the adsorbent 30 on the water tank component 20 sucks up the waterproof member 40, so that the waterproof member 40 moves to the second position, and the air outlet 12 is immediately opened, and the water mist comes out from the air duct; when the water tank component 20 is lifted from the base 10, the waterproof member 40 loses the attraction of the adsorbent 30 and falls from the second position to the first position under the action of gravity, blocking the air outlet 12. When the water tank component 20 is lifted or the water tank on the base 10 is cleaned, it is difficult for water droplets to enter the air duct from the air outlet, thereby protecting the fan, reducing the risk of the fan getting water, improving the dryness of the fan, increasing the service life of the fan, and enhancing the user experience of the product.
[0030] In this embodiment, the humidifier further includes: a limiting member 50, connected to the air duct 11 and forming a limiting space 51 with the air duct 11, and the waterproof member 40 is arranged in the limiting space 51; the limiting member 50 covers the air outlet 12; an air outlet channel 52 is provided on the limiting member 50. Such a setting plays a role in limiting the waterproof member 40, ensuring that the waterproof member 40 moves between the first position and the second position and preventing the waterproof member 40 from falling; and, the setting of the air outlet channel 52 ensures the normal air outlet of the humidifier.
[0031] Specifically, the size of the air outlet channel 52 is smaller than the size of the waterproof member 40, so the waterproof member 40 can only move up and down within the limiting member 50 and cannot pass through the limiting member 50.
[0032] In this embodiment, the water tank component 20 includes a water tank housing 21, and a recess 22 is provided on the water tank housing 21. The recess 22 has an accommodation space 23, and at least part of the limiting member 50 is located in the accommodation space 23. Such a setting plays a role in avoiding the limiting member 50.
[0033] In this embodiment, the water tank housing 21 has an accommodation cavity 24; the adsorbent 30 is arranged in the accommodation cavity 24, and the adsorbent 30 is arranged at the bottom of the recess 22. Specifically, the adsorbent 30 and the waterproof member are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction. Such a setting ensures the adsorption effect of the adsorbent 30 on the waterproof member 40.
[0034] In this embodiment, a mounting member 60 is provided at the bottom of the recessed portion 22. The mounting member 60 is located within the accommodation cavity 24. The mounting member 60 has a mounting groove 61, and the adsorption member 30 is clamped in the mounting groove 61.
[0035] Specifically, the mounting member 60 includes a third buckle and a fourth buckle. The third buckle and the fourth buckle are oppositely arranged, and the adsorption member 30 is clamped between the third buckle and the fourth buckle.
[0036] In this embodiment, the limiting member 50 includes a first limiting plate 53 and at least two second limiting plates 54. The first limiting plate 53 is oppositely arranged with the air outlet 12; at least two second limiting plates 54 are arranged at intervals around the air duct 11, and an air outlet channel 52 is formed between two adjacent second limiting plates 54; one end of the second limiting plate 54 is connected to the first limiting plate 53, and the other end of the second limiting plate 54 is connected to the air duct 11.
[0037] Specifically, at least two second limiting plates 54 are arranged around the first limiting plate 53.
[0038] In this embodiment, a first buckle 55 is provided at the end of the second limiting plate 54 away from the first limiting plate 53, and a second buckle 13 is provided on the outer wall of the air duct 11. The first buckle 55 is clamped with the second buckle 13. Such a setting facilitates the connection between the limiting member 50 and the air duct 11 and facilitates the disassembly of the limiting member 50.
[0039] Specifically, the number of the second limiting plates 54 provided with the first buckle 55 among at least two second limiting plates 54 can be determined according to actual situations. The first buckle 55 can be provided on all the second limiting plates 54, or the first buckle 55 can be provided on some of the second limiting plates 54. Among them, the number of the first buckle 55 and the second buckle 13 is the same.
[0040] In this embodiment, the adsorption member 30 is a magnet. Specifically, the waterproof member 40 is made of a ferromagnetic material. Such a setting ensures the reliability of the adsorption of the adsorption member 30 to the waterproof member 40.
[0041] In the first embodiment, as Figure 1 shown, the waterproof member 40 is a sphere. Specifically, the outer diameter of the sphere is larger than the inner diameter of the air outlet 12. Therefore, under the action of gravity, the sphere will block the air outlet of the air duct. Through the cooperation between the outer surface of the sphere and the inner edge of the air outlet 12, the two can be perfectly fitted, making the sealing of the air outlet 12 by the waterproof member 40 more reliable.
[0042] In the second embodiment, as Figure 6As shown, the waterproof member 40 includes a first waterproof portion 41 and a second waterproof portion 42 connected to the first waterproof portion 41. A second stop step 43 is formed between the first waterproof portion 41 and the second waterproof portion 42, and the second stop step 43 abuts against one end of the air duct 11 where the air outlet 12 is formed; the first waterproof portion 41 is located below the second waterproof portion 42, and the first waterproof portion 41 is a conical structure. Through the cooperation between the outer surface of the conical structure and the inner edge of the air outlet 12, the two can be perfectly fitted, making the sealing of the air outlet 12 more reliable; moreover, the second stop step 43 abuts against one end of the air duct 11 where the air outlet 12 is formed, which can further seal the air outlet 12.
[0043] In this embodiment, the waterproof member 40 is a hollow structure. Such a setting can reduce the weight of the waterproof member 40 and facilitate adsorption.
[0044] During specific implementation, the waterproof member 40 is lifted by the adsorbing member 30 under the action of magnetic force. The waterproof member 40 tightly adheres to the first limiting plate 53, and the air outlet 12 is immediately opened. Water mist bursts out from the air duct, and a large amount of white water mist slowly rises from the water tank. As the water level gradually decreases, the water volume in the water tank gradually decreases. The user picks up the water tank component 20 and takes it to the water source to add water. Due to the departure of the water tank component 20, the fan stops rotating, and the waterproof member 40 loses the attraction of the magnet (i.e., the adsorbing member 30) assembled on the water tank component 20. Under the action of its own gravity, the waterproof member 40 immediately falls onto the air outlet 12 of the air duct, blocking the air outlet 12, and the user can then clean the water tank of the base 10. Since the air outlet of the air duct is blocked by the waterproof member 40, when the user cleans the water tank, it is relatively difficult for water droplets to enter the air duct from the air outlet, thereby protecting the fan, reducing the risk of water ingress into the fan when the user cleans the water tank, improving the dryness of the fan, increasing the service life of the fan, and enhancing the user experience of the product.
[0045] The technical problems solved by this application are: when the user cleans the water tank, reducing the splashing of water droplets from the air outlet into the air duct; when the user lifts the water tank, reducing the splashing of water droplets from the air outlet into the air duct.
[0046] The beneficial effects of this application are: a closable air duct is provided, and by using a magnetic sphere structure, when the user lifts the water tank or cleans the water tank, the magnetic sphere structure leaves the magnet and is under the action of gravity, falling into the air outlet of the air duct and blocking the air outlet of the air duct, thereby reducing the splashing of water droplets into the air duct.
[0047] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0048] The humidifier of the present invention includes a base 10 and a water tank component 20. The water tank component 20 is detachably disposed on the base 10. When the water tank component 20 is placed on the base 10, the adsorbing member 30 on the water tank component 20 sucks up the waterproof member 40, so that the waterproof member 40 moves to the second position, and the air outlet 12 is immediately opened, and the water mist comes out from the air duct; when the water tank component 20 is lifted from the base 10, the waterproof member 40 loses the attraction of the adsorbing member 30 and falls from the second position to the first position under the action of gravity, blocking the air outlet 12. When the water tank component 20 is lifted or the water tank on the base 10 is cleaned, it is difficult for water droplets to enter the air duct from the air outlet, thereby protecting the fan, reducing the risk of water ingress into the fan, improving the dryness of the fan, increasing the service life of the fan, and enhancing the user experience of the product.
[0049] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification, claims and the above-mentioned drawings of the present application are used to distinguish similar objects and do not necessarily describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such used data can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units does not necessarily limit to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.
[0050] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "above" etc. can be used here to describe the spatial position relationship of one device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation shown in the figures of the device. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the device described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures will then be positioned "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the orientations of "above" and "below". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the corresponding explanations are made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.
[0051] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations.
