Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of humidifiers, and in particular to a humidifier capable of safely adding water. Background Art

[0002] At present, household humidifiers on the market generally use ultrasonic waves to atomize water, and blow the atomized water vapor out of the shell through a fan to achieve the effect of humidifying the air. Ultrasonic humidifiers use ultrasonic high-frequency oscillations at a frequency of 1.7MHz to atomize water into ultrafine particles of 1 to 5 microns. By setting up a wind-driven device, the water mist is diffused into the air, making the air moist and accompanied by rich negative oxygen ions, which can refresh the air, promote health, and create a comfortable environment.

[0003] However, the existing humidifier is generally arranged with a fan and an ultrasonic atomizer in sequence, and the output end of the ultrasonic atomizer is arranged above the fan, the input end of the ultrasonic atomizer is connected to a water tank, and a water level detection component is installed in the water tank. When the water tank starts to drain water, the water level in the water tank continues to rise. When it reaches the working water level, the water level detection component is turned on and the machine starts to work; when the water tank is removed, since the water level in the water tank will not drop below the working water level all at once, the water level detection component is still in the turned-on state, and the ultrasonic atomizer in the water tank keeps working. The high-frequency oscillation atomization function of the ultrasonic wave will cause the water in the water tank to splash out, which may cause damage to the fan; what is worse, the humidifier may be scrapped due to a short circuit. Summary of the invention

[0004] Based on this, in order to solve the problem that the existing humidifier cannot handle water splashing and causes a fan short circuit, the present invention provides a humidifier with safe water addition, and its specific technical solution is as follows:

[0039] The “first” and “second” mentioned in the present invention do not represent specific quantities and orders, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a humidifier with safe water addition in one embodiment of the present invention includes a humidifier body;

[0041] The humidifier body includes an ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100, a water storage tank 200, an air outlet module 300 and a water level control module 400, all of which are arranged in the humidifier body; the humidifier body is provided with a water inlet 600 and an air outlet 700; the water storage tank 200 is arranged below the water inlet 600; the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 is arranged below the air outlet 700; the air outlet module 300 is arranged above the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 and below the air outlet 700; the water level control module 400 includes a first pipe 410 and a drainage module 420; the two ends of the first pipe 410 are respectively connected to the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 and the water storage tank 200; one end of the drainage module 420 is connected to the lower end of the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100; the other end of the drainage module 420 is connected to the water storage tank 200.

[0042] By setting the air outlet module 300 above the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100, the water level of the ultrasonic atomizing water tank cannot reach the air outlet module 300, so that the air outlet module 300 can operate safely; by setting the first pipe 410, the water in the water storage tank 200 can flow into the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 through the first pipe 410 only after it reaches a certain height, so as to ensure that when water is added to the water storage tank 200, the water cannot flow directly into the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100, so that the water level of the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 will not increase suddenly, so as to ensure the controllability of the water level in the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100; by combining the drainage module 420, the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 and the water storage tank 200, the water level of the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 reaches a certain height and then is drained to the water storage tank 200 through the drainage module 420, so as to further ensure that the air outlet module 300 will not cause a short circuit due to water splashing, so as to ensure that the device can work and use stably for a long time.

[0043] In one embodiment, the air outlet module 300 includes a motor 310, an impeller part 320 and a housing 330; the motor 310 is provided with a rotating shaft rotating around the central axis; the impeller part 320 is arranged on one side of the axial direction of the motor 310 and connected to the rotating shaft; the motor 310 and the impeller part 320 are arranged inside the housing 330 from bottom to top. Further, the housing 330 is fixed above the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 and is arranged below the exhaust port 700. The gas moves from the bottom of the housing 330 to the top of the housing 330 and overflows from the exhaust port 700.

[0044] Further, the housing 330 includes an outer air guide wall portion 331, an inner air guide wall portion 332 and a plurality of connecting portions 333; the outer air guide wall portion 331 may be cylindrical, and the outer air guide wall portion 331 is arranged radially outside the impeller portion 320; the inner air guide wall portion 332 may be cylindrical, and the outer diameter of the inner air guide wall portion 332 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the inner air guide wall portion 332 is provided with an air intake port 334. The outer air guide wall portion 331 is connected to the inner air guide wall portion 332 based on the plurality of connecting portions 333. Through the combination of the outer air guide wall portion 331, the inner air guide wall portion 332 and the plurality of connecting portions 333, the air volume and static pressure of the impeller portion 320 are greatly improved, and the exhaust efficiency of the impeller portion 320 is improved.

[0045] Furthermore, by providing the air inlet 334 , wind can flow from the air inlet 334 to the motor 310 , thereby cooling the motor 310 , thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the device.

[0046] Furthermore, by providing the housing 330, the motor 310 and the impeller 320 in the housing 330 can be effectively protected, preventing the motor 310 and the impeller 320 of the air outlet module 300 from directly contacting the outside and causing damage, thereby effectively ensuring the long-term use of the device.

[0047] In one embodiment, the impeller portion 320 includes a side wall portion 321, an upper wall portion 322 and a plurality of fan blades; the side wall portion 321 is arranged in the impeller portion 320 and rotates around the central axis of the impeller portion 320; the upper wall portion 322 is an upper end surface axially extending from the side wall portion 321, and the upper wall portion 322 is connected to the housing 330; the plurality of fan blades include a first wing body 323 extending radially outward from the side wall portion 321 and a plurality of second wing bodies 324 arranged on one axial side of the upper wall portion 322.

[0048] Further, the second wing 324 is inclined upward on the side wall portion 321 with the rotation axis as the center. Further, the second wing 324 can be curved from the radial inner side to the radial outer side. By configuring the second wing 324 to be curved, it is possible to facilitate the introduction of atomized water droplets processed by the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100. In addition, the second wing 324 is not limited to being configured as a curved surface, and can also be configured to be inclined relative to the central axis of the side wall portion 321.

[0049] In one embodiment, the number of the second wings 324 is set to an odd number.

[0050] Further, the number of the second wing bodies 324 may be different from the number of the first wing bodies 323. In this embodiment, the number of the second wing bodies 324 is 5, and the number of the first wing bodies 323 is 7. By making the number of the second wing bodies 324 different from the number of the first wing bodies 323, the mutual interference between the second wing bodies 324 and the first wing bodies 323 can be suppressed, thereby reducing the occurrence of noise.

[0051] Further, in this embodiment, the structure of the motor 310 is not limited, and the structure of the motor 310 is not the focus of this application. Specifically, reference can be made to the prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0052] In one embodiment, the first pipe 410 is arranged in a "冂"-shaped structure. When the water in the water storage tank 200 is higher than the highest height of the first pipe 410, the water in the water storage tank 200 can flow from the water storage tank 200 through the first pipe 410 to the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100; when the water in the water storage tank 200 is lower than the highest height of the first pipe 410, the water in the water storage tank 200 cannot flow from the water storage tank 200 through the first pipe 410 to the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100. Thus, the water level in the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 can be controlled.

[0053] In one embodiment, the drainage module 420 includes a water level sensor 421, a water pump 423, a first valve body 422, a second pipe 424, and a second valve body 425;

[0054] The water level sensor 421 is arranged on the inner wall of the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100; the first valve body 422 is arranged at the bottom of the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100, and the first valve body 422 is connected to one end of the second pipe 424; the other end of the second pipe 424 is connected to the input end of the water pump 423; the output end of the water pump 423 is connected to the second valve body 425, and the second valve body 425 is arranged on the other side of the water storage tank 200; the water level sensor 421 is electrically connected to the water pump 423 and the first valve body 422 respectively. By arranging the drainage module 420, it is effectively ensured that the water in the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 can never reach the lowermost end of the air outlet module 300, effectively ensuring the normal long-term operation of the air outlet module 300.

[0055] Working principle: When the water in the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 reaches the position of the water level sensor 421, the water level sensor 421 provides information to the water pump 423 and the first valve. At this time, the first valve opens, and the water pump 423 starts to work, pumping the water in the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 to the water storage tank 200. When the water in the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 does not reach the position of the water level sensor 421, the water pump 423 does not work, and the first valve is in a closed state.

[0056] In one embodiment, the first valve body 422 is a one-way valve; and / or the second valve body 425 is a one-way valve.

[0057] In one embodiment, the humidifier body also includes an air outlet nozzle 500; the air outlet nozzle 500 includes a first air outlet wall 510 and a second air outlet wall 520, and an air flow channel is formed between the first air outlet wall 510 and the second air outlet wall 520; a shielding rib 530 is provided on the upper surface of the second air outlet wall 520.

[0058] Furthermore, the second air outlet wall 520 is disposed above the first air outlet wall 510 and the end of the second air outlet wall 520 is disposed away from the first air outlet wall 510. During long-term use of the device, a certain amount of water droplets will accumulate in the air outlet nozzle 500 due to the mist, and there is a risk that large particles of water droplets will fall vertically to the air outlet module 300, which may cause a safety hazard to the device; at the same time, it is prevented that some users directly add water to the air outlet nozzle 500, causing water to pour directly from the air outlet nozzle 500 and cause electrical accidents.

[0059] In one embodiment, the cross section of the first air outlet wall 510 is a "1"-shaped structure; the cross section of the second air outlet wall 520 is inclined. Through this arrangement, water drops at the outermost end of the air outlet nozzle 500 drip outside the device.

[0060] In one embodiment, the air outlet nozzle 500 is made of transparent hard plastic.

[0061] Furthermore, the use of hard plastic is conducive to reducing its production cost. By selecting transparent hard plastic, the user can observe whether the air outlet module 300 operates normally through the air outlet nozzle 500, and can also observe whether the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100 operates normally.

[0062] Furthermore, the water injection port 600 is set to a truncated cone structure, and the upper end of the water injection port 600 is larger than the lower end. The upper end of the water injection port is provided with a sealed coil 610, and a metal ball 620 is provided between the upper end and the lower end of the water injection port 600. The diameter of the metal ball 620 is larger than the diameter of the lower end of the water injection port 600. When the coil 610 is energized, the coil 610 attracts the metal ball 620, so that the metal ball 620 is adsorbed at the coil 610. At this time, the user can add water to the water storage tank 200 through the water injection port 600; when the coil 610 is not energized, the coil 610 cannot adsorb the metal ball 620, and the metal ball 620 slides down due to gravity, and finally just seals the water injection port 600. At this time, the user cannot add water to the water storage tank 200. This setting can effectively prevent malicious water addition to the device, and effectively ensure the safe use of the device.

[0063] Furthermore, the humidifier body further includes a sterilization module 800, which is disposed above the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100. Specifically, the sterilization module 800 is an ultraviolet disinfection lamp, which is used to sterilize and disinfect the water in the ultrasonic atomization water tank 100.

[0064] Furthermore, in this embodiment, ultraviolet disinfection lamps are common knowledge and can be purchased at any place on the market. They are not the focus of this application. For details, please refer to the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0065] To sum up: by setting the air outlet module 300 above the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100, the water in the ultrasonic atomizing water tank cannot leak to the air outlet module 300, so that the air outlet module 300 can operate safely; by setting the first pipe 410, the water in the water storage tank 200 can flow into the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 through the first pipe 410 only after it reaches a certain height, so as to ensure that when water is added to the water storage tank 200, the water cannot flow directly into the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100, so that the water level of the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 will not increase suddenly, so as to ensure the controllability of the water level in the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100; by combining the drainage module 420, the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 and the water storage tank 200, the water level of the ultrasonic atomizing water tank 100 reaches a certain height and is drained to the water storage tank 200 through the drainage module 420, further ensuring that the air outlet module 300 will not cause a short circuit due to water splashing, and ensuring that the device can work and use stably for a long time.

[0066] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0067] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary technicians in this field, several variations and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be subject to the attached claims.
