[0024] An atomizing component is installed in the water tank to atomize and discharge the water in the water tank to achieve the purpose of humidification. Furthermore, the water tank needs to be cleaned regularly to ensure the safe and hygienic use of the humidifier; however, there are multiple components installed in the water tank, including the lever-type float, resulting in difficult cleaning and maintenance of the water tank and low cleanliness of the water tank.

[0025] In view of the above technical problems, through analysis of the causes and continuous research, the inventor found a floating-float humidifier, which includes a water tank and a base. The bottom of the water tank has a water outlet, and a water valve is installed inside the water outlet. An atomization water tank is provided inside the base, where:

[0026] It further includes a float, which is a floating lever. One end of the float is a control end that can drive the water valve, and the other end is a floating end;

[0027] The float is mounted on the bottom of the water tank through a reciprocating displacement drive frame to form a floating-float structure.

[0028] In the above technical solution, in this solution, the float is connected to the water tank by a sliding drive frame. While simplifying the structure of the atomization water tank, it also drives the float to control the water valve to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0029] The following will give a detailed description of the specific implementation manners of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Embodiment:

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a floating-float humidifier includes a water tank 1 and a base 2; the water tank 1 is a container, and its bottom has a water outlet, and a water valve 5 for controlling water discharge and the amount of water discharged is installed inside the water outlet; an atomization water tank 3 is provided inside the base 2, and the function of the atomization water tank 3 is to achieve atomization humidification, and the water tank 1 replenishes water to the atomization water tank 3 through the water outlet.

[0032] As Figure 2 shown, it further includes a float 4, which is a floating lever capable of performing lever movement. One end of the float 4 is a control end 41 that can drive the water valve to open or close, and the other end is a floating end 42. The float 4 is placed inside the atomization water tank 3. The floating end 42 drives the lifting of the control end 41 through the height of the water level inside the atomization water tank 3, and the control end 41 can drive the water valve 5 to discharge water through lifting, thereby realizing water discharge control;

[0033] Specifically: a trigger protrusion for driving the water valve 5 to perform water discharge control is provided on the control end 41 of the float 4, and the trigger protrusion is conical; the floating end 42 is installed with a floating block, so as to drive the lifting of the control end 41 by the water level inside the atomization water tank 3, and further realize the water discharge control of the water valve 5.

[0034] In this solution, the float 4 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 1 to form a floating-float structure, thereby effectively simplifying the structure inside the atomization water tank 3, achieving the purpose of convenient cleaning and maintenance, and thus improving the service life of the entire humidifier.

[0035] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, it further includes a displacement drive frame 6 which is fixed to the bottom of the water tank 1 and extends into the atomization water tank 3; the float 4 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 1 through the displacement drive frame 6.

[0036] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the displacement drive frame 6 is a sliding drive frame, which includes an upper slider 61 and a lower slider 62 that are slidably connected; the upper slider 61 is fixed to the bottom surface of the water tank 1, and an installation opening is provided at the bottom of the lower slider 62, and the float 4 is installed at the installation opening; the lower slider 62 drives the control end 41 of the float to correspond to or away from the water discharge valve 5;

[0037] Specifically: the reciprocating sliding direction of the upper and lower sliders 61 and 62 is set towards the water discharge valve 5. The upper slider 61 has a protruding slide rail, and a sliding groove is provided on the lower slider 62; the upper slider 61 has two symmetric locking holes to cooperate with screws to lock the upper slider to the bottom surface of the water tank 1. An inner concave opening is provided on the bottom surface of the lower slider 62 away from the upper slider 61. Axial connection holes are provided on the two side walls inside the inner concave opening. The two sides of the float 4 have connecting shafts, and the connecting shafts are installed in the axial connection holes to install the float 4, and the float 4 can perform a lever movement within the installation opening.

[0038] It should be noted that: two L-shaped convex strips are obtained by extending the bottom surface of the upper slider 61 towards the lower slider 62. The two L-shaped convex strips are symmetrically distributed to form the protruding slide rail, and the lower slider 62 is slidably connected to the protruding slide rail of the upper slider 61; because there is a certain distance between each L-shaped convex strip and the bottom surface of the lower slider, an up-and-down movement margin is obtained. The lower slider 62 is restricted in the horizontal direction of sliding along the protruding slide rail, but has a movement margin in the up-and-down (i.e., vertical) direction.

[0039] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to limit the sliding stroke of the lower slider 62, a limit baffle 7 is further provided in the atomization water tank 3, and the limit baffle 7 is located beside the drive frame 6; the upper end surface of the limit baffle 7 is a limit surface 71, and a limit protrusion 621 is provided on one side of the lower slider 61 corresponding to the limit baffle 7, and the limit protrusion 621 can cooperate with the limit surface;

[0040] Specifically: The limit baffle 7 is a plate body standing on the bottom surface of the atomization water tank 3, and one side surface thereof is closely arranged against the lower slider 62; the top surface of the limit baffle 7 is an inclined raised surface, forming the limit surface, the lowest end of the limit surface 71 is close to the water discharge valve, and the highest end is far from the water discharge valve, forming a limit baffle structure with a gradually decreasing height towards the water discharge valve; furthermore, when the lower slider 62 slides along the protruding slide rail direction, the limit protrusion 621 can abut against the limit surface, thereby restricting the sliding of the lower slider 62.

[0041] A guiding concave surface is arranged beside the sliding driving frame, and the guiding concave surface cooperates with the limit baffle 7 to form a guiding structure for the sliding driving frame to be installed during the process of the water tank 1 being installed into the base 2; moreover, the lower slider 62 in the sliding driving frame has the limit protrusion 621, and the limit protrusion 621 cooperates with the inclined limit surface, while the upper and lower sliders 61 and 62 slide relatively, enabling the lower slider 62 to displace in the up and down (i.e., vertical) direction within the range of the above-mentioned movement allowance along the inclined direction of the limit surface 71. The stroke of the lower slider 62 is to slide reciprocally along the limit surface direction to place the control end at the lower end of the water discharge valve.

[0042] Although the present invention is disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make possible changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
