[0018] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0019] 1. An embodiment of the present invention provides a humidifying component, which includes: a water tank, the water tank includes a water inlet area, the water inlet area is suitable for being connected to the water outlet of a water tank; the water inlet area is provided with a first water channel surrounded by the retaining ribs, and the first water channel is provided with a step at one end close to the water inlet area; a water tank cover is suitable for covering the water tank; the water tank cover is also provided with an embedding hole suitable for the water outlet of the water tank to be embedded; a water outlet cylinder is provided on a side of the water tank cover close to the water tank and connected to the embedding hole; an opening is provided at one end of the water outlet cylinder close to the water tank; the distance between the end of the step away from the water tank and the water tank is smaller than the distance between the end of the opening away from the water tank and the water tank.

[0020] With this arrangement, when the user lifts the entire machine or places it on an uneven table or ground, the inclined water level in the water inlet area can automatically seal the water outlet of the water tank. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the water tank automatically stops water, preventing the water tank from continuously supplying water from the water outlet to the water inlet area, causing the water tank to overflow.

[0021] 2. In the embodiment of the present invention, a notch is provided at one end of the retaining rib close to the water tank cover, and the notch is suitable for connecting the water inlet area and the water storage area. With such a configuration, when the water inlet area is full during normal operation, when the user lifts the whole machine or places it on an uneven table or ground, water will flow from the water inlet area through the notch into the water storage area, and the water storage area will store the overflowed water, thereby preventing the liquid level from being higher than the absorbent cotton after the water is tilted, causing overflow from the absorbent cotton, thereby achieving the effect of preventing overflow.

[0022] 3. If water stopping is required when the water volume in the water inlet area is the same, a longer waterway is required to achieve this. The embodiment of the present invention can increase the water storage height of the water inlet area by setting steps, thereby shortening the length in the water flow direction, achieving water stopping in advance, and reducing the volume of the humidification component.

[0023] 4. In the embodiment of the present invention, a second containing tank is arranged in the second water channel, and absorbent cotton can be placed in the second containing tank. When it is not in use but there is water in the water inlet area, the absorbent cotton can absorb the remaining water in the water inlet area to prevent the water in the water inlet area from not drying up for a long time, which will lead to the growth of bacteria and the generation of odor.

[0024] 5. In the embodiment of the present invention, a third receiving tank is provided. When the user lifts the whole machine or places it on an uneven table or ground, water will flow from the water inlet area through the notch into the water storage area. After the overflowing water is stored in the water storage area, the absorbent cotton in the third receiving tank can flow into the water in the water storage area to absorb the water, thereby preventing the water from not drying up for a long time, causing the growth of bacteria and the generation of odor.

[0046] 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.

[0047] With the improvement of people's living standards, many intelligent appliances have entered people's daily lives. In the prior art, a humidifying device has been added to the heating device. The general technical solution is to set a wet curtain made of non-woven fabric at the air inlet of the heating device. The wet curtain has a good self-absorbing effect. The water in the water tank is sucked up by the absorbent cotton to wet the wet curtain. When the heating device works, the air passes through the wet curtain, takes away the water on the wet curtain and evaporates it to achieve humidification. However, when the user moves or places the heating device on an uneven tabletop or ground, the water in the water tank is likely to tilt to one side. After the liquid level overflows the water tank, the water will overflow. This makes the user experience poor.

[0048] Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is the problem that the water in the water tank is likely to overflow in the prior art when the user moves or places the heating device on an uneven tabletop or ground, so as to provide a humidifying component and a heating device.

[0049] Embodiment 1

[0050] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a humidifying component, which includes: a water tank 5, a water tank cover 3 and a water outlet cylinder 7.

[0051] In the embodiment of the present invention, the water tank 5 includes a water inlet area 501 and a water storage area 508. The water inlet area 501 is adapted to communicate with the water outlet of the water tank 6. The water inlet area 501 is provided with a first water channel 503 surrounded by the retaining ribs 511. At one end close to the water inlet area 501, the first water channel 503 is provided with a step 502. The water tank cover 3 is adapted to cover the water tank 5. The water tank cover 3 is also provided with an embedding hole 301 adapted to embed the water outlet of the water tank 6. The water outlet cylinder 7 is arranged on the side of the water tank cover 3 close to the water tank 5 and communicates with the embedding hole 301. One end of the water outlet cylinder 7 close to the water tank 5 is provided with an opening 701. The distance between the end of the step 502 far from the water tank 5 and the water tank 5 is less than the distance between the end of the opening 701 far from the water tank 5 and the water tank 5. As Figure 5 and Figure 9 shown, the distance between the end of the step 502 far from the water tank 5 and the water tank 5 is H3, 0 < H3 < 10 mm. The distance between the end of the opening 701 far from the water tank 5 and the water tank 5 is H1.

[0052] With such a setting, when the user moves the whole machine or places it on an uneven tabletop or ground, the inclined water level in the water inlet area 501 can automatically seal the water outlet of the water tank 6. Under the action of atmospheric pressure, the water tank 6 realizes automatic water stop, preventing the water tank 6 from continuously supplying water to the water inlet area 501 from the water outlet, resulting in the water in the water tank 5 overflowing. Specifically, as Figure 10As shown, when the user tilts in the length direction, the step 502 and the water outlet of the water tank cover 3 form a water-stop angle a, where 0° < a < 60°. As Figure 11 shown, when the user tilts in the width direction, the step 502 and the water outlet of the water tank cover 3 form a water-stop angle b, where 0° < b < 60°. Water can flow back to the water inlet area 501 in other directions, and the water inlet of the water tank 5 seals the notch to form water-stop. By providing the step 502 in the embodiment of the present invention, the water storage height of the water inlet area 501 can also be increased, thereby reducing the volume of the humidifying component.

[0053] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2 to 4 shown, the water tank 5 further includes a water storage area 508, and a retaining rib 511 is provided between the water storage area 508 and the water inlet area 501. The retaining rib 511 is provided with a notch 510 at one end close to the water tank cover 3, and the notch 510 is adapted to communicate the water inlet area 501 and the water storage area 508. The distance between the bottom end of the notch 510 and the water tank 5 is greater than or equal to the distance between the water inlet and the water tank 5.

[0054] The water tank cover 3 is provided with a placement groove adapted to place the wet curtain 1, and a plurality of through holes 303 are provided in the placement groove. The through holes 303 are adapted to insert the absorbent cotton 4. The absorbent cotton 4 and the through holes 303 are in a slightly interference fit.

[0055] As a preferred embodiment, the water inlet area 501 is provided with a first water channel 503 surrounded by the retaining rib 511, and at least one notch 510 is provided on the first water channel 503. A plurality of first receiving grooves 506 are provided on at least one side of the first water channel 503, and the first receiving grooves 506 are adapted to place the absorbent cotton 4.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the notch 510 at one end of the retaining rib 511 close to the water tank cover 3, the notch 510 is adapted to communicate the water inlet area 501 and the water storage area 508. With this setting, since the water in the water inlet area 501 is full during normal operation, when the user lifts the whole machine or places it on an uneven table or ground, the water will flow from the water inlet area 501 into the water storage area 508 through the notch 510, and the water storage area 508 will store the overflowed water, thereby preventing the liquid level from being higher than the absorbent cotton 4 after tilting and causing overflow from the absorbent cotton 4. Therefore, the function of preventing water overflow can be achieved.

[0057] Of course, those skilled in the art can change the setting quantity and setting position of the first receiving grooves 506 according to the actual situation. This embodiment is only an example and is not limited. As long as the same function can be achieved.

[0058] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water tank 5 is further provided with a second water channel 504, and the second water channel 504 is connected to the water inlet area 501. A second receiving tank 505 is provided at one end of the second water channel 504 away from the water inlet area 501, and the second receiving tank 505 is suitable for placing absorbent cotton 4.

[0059] The embodiment of the present invention provides a second containing tank 505 in the second water channel 504, and absorbent cotton 4 can be placed in the second containing tank 505. When not in use but there is water in the water inlet area 501, the absorbent cotton 4 can absorb the remaining water in the water inlet area 501 to prevent the water in the water inlet area 501 from not drying up for a long time, which leads to the growth of bacteria and the generation of odor.

[0060] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water storage area 508 is provided with a plurality of third receiving grooves 507 , the third receiving grooves 507 are communicated with the water storage area 508 , and the third receiving grooves 507 are suitable for placing absorbent cotton 4 .

[0061] The embodiment of the present invention provides a third receiving groove 507. When the user lifts the entire machine or places it on an uneven table or ground, water will flow from the water inlet area 501 through the notch 510 into the water storage area 508. After the water storage area 508 stores the overflowed water, the absorbent cotton 4 in the third receiving groove 507 can flow into the water storage area 508 to absorb the water, thereby preventing the water from not drying up for a long time, which will lead to the growth of bacteria and the generation of odor.

[0062] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the water tank 5 is provided with a first ventilation cavity 512 suitable for air outlet, and the first water channel 503 is arranged along the outer periphery of the first ventilation cavity 512; the water tank cover 3 is provided with a second ventilation cavity 304 suitable for air outlet in the placement groove, and the through hole 303 is arranged on the outer periphery of the second ventilation cavity 304.

[0063] The water inlet area 501 is provided with a top column 509, and the water outlet of the water tank 6 is provided with a water valve suitable for cooperating with the top column 509; the water valve opens when the top column 509 lifts the valve body 602 of the water valve, and closes when the top column 509 does not act on the valve body 602.

[0064] Specifically, after the user fills the water tank 6 with water, the water tank 6 is placed on the sink cover 3 through the embedding hole 301 of the sink cover 3, and the top column 509 of the water inlet area 501 will lift the valve body 602 of the water valve, so that the water tank 6 can replenish water to the water inlet area 501 through the water valve at the water outlet. The valve core 601 of the water valve is a spring valve core 601, so when the top column 509 lifts the valve body 602, the spring valve core 601 moves up and the water valve is opened; when the water tank 6 is moved away, the spring valve core 601 returns to its original position and the water valve is automatically closed.

[0065] The water tank 6 further includes a sealing gasket 603, a sealing cover 604, and a sealing ring 605. The edge of the sealing cover 604 is provided with a groove, and the center is provided with a boss. The sealing ring 605 is sleeved in the groove on the sealing cover 604, and the sealing gasket 603 is sleeved on the boss of the sealing cover 604. The sealing cover 604 presses the sealing gasket 603 through the water tank 6 to form a sealing effect.

[0066] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the water tank cover 3 is hermetically connected to the water tank 5. The water tank cover 3 is provided with a pneumatic through hole 302. One end of the pneumatic through hole 302 communicates with the water tank 5, and the other end communicates with the outside. The water tank cover 3 and the water tank 5 can be ultrasonically welded, or glued, or integrally formed, or a sealing gasket 603 is added to form a closed cavity between the two, so as to prevent water from overflowing from the periphery.

[0067] Of course, this embodiment is only an example and is not restrictive. Those skilled in the art can change the sealing method of the water tank cover 3 and the water tank 5 according to the actual situation as long as the same technical effect can be achieved.

[0068] Optionally, in some embodiments of the present invention, the humidifying component further includes a water absorption sheet 2, which is laid on the through hole 303 of the placement groove.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications 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 modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
