TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of air humidity adjustment, in particular to a cold and warm mixed humidifier. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous improvement of people's living quality, the living environment is also required to be higher and higher. Air humidity adjustment equipment (hereinafter referred to as "humidifier") is deeply loved by consumers because it can humidify dry air, compensate for water in the air, improve the comfort of living, and moisturize the skin. Using a humidifier in dry seasons has become a common household appliance in modern life, especially in rooms with air conditioners and dry areas in the northwest. The traditional cold and warm mixed humidifier installs a heating device and an atomizing device in the water tank, directly heats the water in the water tank to a certain temperature, and then vibrates and atomizes through the atomizing device to blow out through the mist channel. Because the atomizing device cannot have too high water temperature, otherwise it will seriously affect the service life of the atomizing piece, resulting in limited mist temperature and not reaching the effect of warm mist diffusion.
[0003] In order to improve the temperature of the mist and improve the diffusion range of the mist, Chinese patent document CN102418976A discloses a humidifier which divides a large water tank into three small parts: an ultrasonic water tank, a heating water tank, and a water storage cavity, which are connected through a small water channel. The water in the heating water tank is heated by the heating device to produce water vapor mist, and the water in the ultrasonic water tank is ultrasonically atomized into water mist, which is mixed together through the air duct and blown into the air. The water channel, the ultrasonic water tank and the heating water tank are in the same plane through the water storage tank. After the water in the heating water tank is heated to boiling, the water channel will quickly conduct heat to the water in the water storage tank and the ultrasonic water tank, causing the water temperature in the ultrasonic water tank to rise. The service life of the ultrasonic atomizing piece is generally 3000-5000 hours at a water temperature of 0-50℃. The service life of the atomizing piece is characterized by higher water temperature and shorter service life. Working in a high water temperature environment for a long time seriously affects the service life of the ultrasonic device (atomizing piece) and shortens the service life of the humidifier. More importantly, the small water channel is not convenient to clean and is difficult to clean thoroughly. SUMMARY

[0010] The lower end of the shell is open, a bottom cover is arranged at the lower end surface of the shell, and the bottom cover is detachably fixedly connected with the shell.
[0011] A fan is further arranged in the inside of the lower end of the shell, an air outlet of the fan is connected with an air duct, the air duct penetrates the bottom of the water storage atomizing groove and extends to the upper part thereof, and the outlet of the air duct is in communication with the mist cavity.
[0012] The water storage atomizing groove and the water storage heating groove are independently arranged, and a layer of heat insulation material is arranged between the water storage atomizing groove and the water storage heating groove.
[0013] A partition plate is arranged in the water storage atomizing groove, the water outlet device and the atomizing device are arranged on the two sides of the partition plate and are communicated through an opening on the partition plate, and the air duct extends from the groove area where the atomizing device is arranged.

[0015] The technical scheme of the present application has the following advantages:
[0016] A. The humidifier is provided with two independent water storage groove units, one of which is a water storage heating groove in which a heating device is arranged, and the other of which is a water storage atomizing groove in which a lower water device and an ultrasonic atomizing device are arranged. According to the principle that hot water has a smaller density than cold water and heat is transferred upward in water, a connecting pipeline is arranged below the two units to independently separate the water temperature in the two units, and the water in the water storage heating groove flows into the water storage heating groove through the pipeline from the water storage atomizing groove.

[0017] B. The present application is provided with a layer of heat insulation material in the shell or directly separates the water storage heating groove and the water storage atomizing groove, so that the water temperature in the two grooves does not affect each other. Since the pipeline is arranged below the water storage heating groove and the water storage atomizing groove to connect the two grooves, the water heat in the water storage heating groove and the water storage atomizing groove does not communicate, and there is no redundant water channel, which is convenient for cleaning and is beneficial to the health of the user.
[0018] C. According to different control of the atomizing device and the heating device, the present application can realize three working states: one is a cold mist state in which only the atomizing device works, one is a hot mist state in which only the heating device works, and one is a cold and warm mist mixed state in which the atomizing device and the heating device work together, which is diversified in function and meets the needs of different consumers.

[0039] The technical solutions of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0040] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present invention provides a cooling and heating hybrid humidifier, including a shell 1 with an open top, a water storage and heating tank 11 and a water storage and atomizing tank 12 inside the shell 1, a water tank 3 above the water storage and heating tank 11 and the water storage and atomizing tank 12, and the bottom of the water tank 3 and the water storage and atomizing tank 12 are connected. The two are connected by a water-cooling device 5. An atomizing device 14 is installed in the water-storing atomizing tank 12, and a heating device 13 is installed in the water-storing heating tank 11. Above the atomizing device 14 and the water-storing heating tank 11, a mist-collecting chamber 2 is provided. The lower opening of the mist-collecting chamber 2 covers the steam mist generated by the water-storing heating tank 11 and the cold water mist generated by the water-storing atomizing tank 12. The atomizing channel formed in the mist-collecting chamber 2 extends out of the water tank 3 to discharge the generated cold water mist and / or steam mist. An outlet 121 is provided at the lower end of the water-storing atomizing tank 12, and an inlet 111 is provided at the lower end of the water-storing heating tank 11. A pipe 15 connects the outlet 121 and the inlet 111, and both ends of the pipe 15 are detachably and fixedly connected to the outlet 121 and the inlet 111, respectively. Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, this invention incorporates two water storage units within the housing. One unit is a water heating tank containing a heating device, and the other is a water atomizing tank containing a drainage device and an ultrasonic atomizing device. A pipe connects the two tanks at the bottom of both units. Water from the water tank first enters the water atomizing tank 12, and then sequentially flows into the water heating tank 11 through the outlet 121, pipe 15, and inlet 111. Based on the principle that hot water is less dense than cold water and heat rises in water, and because the water heating tank and water atomizing tank are independent structures, the mist-collecting chamber directly collects steam mist and / or cold water mist. Steam mist does not enter the water atomizing tank, thus avoiding heating the water within the tank and ensuring the ultrasonic atomizing plate in the atomizing device maintains its normal service life.
[0041] The water tank 3 used in this invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown, a vent 31 is also provided in the water tank 3. The vent 31 runs through the upper and lower ends of the water tank 3, and the upper and lower ends of the vent 31 are open. The lower part of the water tank 3 forms a chamber, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, it is a downwardly expanding chamber whose shape matches the shape of the mist-collecting chamber 2. The mist-collecting chamber 2 is placed in the chamber formed in the lower part of the water tank 3. The atomization channel formed by the mist-collecting chamber 2 is connected to the ventilation channel 31. Whether it is cold water mist, steam mist, or a mixture of the two, the mist produced will be directly discharged to the outside of the water tank 3 through the ventilation channel 31.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, the mist-collecting chamber 2 used in this invention preferably consists of two parts: a gas-gathering chamber 21 and a mist channel 22. The lower end of the gas-gathering chamber 21 is open, i.e. Figure 1As shown, the lower end opening of the plenum 21 completely covers the atomizing device 14, the fan 16 and the water storage heating tank 11, for covering the steam mist generated by the water storage heating tank 11 and the cold water mist generated by the water storage atomizing tank 12; the mist channel pipe 22 is arranged above the plenum 21 and is in communication with the inside of the plenum 21, the mist channel pipe 22 penetrates the air passage 31 of the water tank 3, the upper end of the mist channel pipe 22 can directly extend out of the upper end opening of the air passage 31, and the upper opening of the mist channel pipe 22 is preferably a gradually opened structure, the lower part is columnar, and the gradually opened upper opening is larger than the columnar lower part, which is more conducive to the discharge of the steam mist and the cold water mist.
[0043] The water tank 3 can be arranged in the housing 1, the upper end of the housing 1 is provided with a top cover 4, the top cover 4 is provided with a mist outlet 41 matched with the misting passage outlet of the mist holding chamber 2, and the top cover 4 is detachably connected with the upper end of the housing 1. Of course, the water tank 3 can also not be arranged in the housing, that is, the housing does not have to be too high, the water storage heating tank and the water storage atomizing tank are arranged in the housing, and the water tank is arranged at the upper end of the housing and is directly connected with the upper end of the housing in a detachable manner.
[0044] Of course, the lower end of the housing 1 can be directly an open structure, and a bottom cover 6 can also be arranged at the lower end face of the housing 1, as shown in Figure 3 The bottom cover 6 is detachably and fixedly connected with the housing 1 and directly seals the lower end face of the housing, and a movable wheel can also be arranged at the lower end face of the bottom cover 6 to facilitate movement.
[0045] In order to quickly blow out the cold water mist, a fan 16 is arranged in the area inside the lower end of the housing, that is, below the water storage atomizing tank 12, the air outlet of the fan 16 is connected with an air duct 161, the air duct 161 penetrates the bottom of the water storage atomizing tank 12 and extends to the mist holding chamber above, and the outlet of the air duct 161 is in communication with the mist holding chamber 2. The fan used here is a commonly used fan on the market, which will not be described here again. The fan can improve the misting effect.
[0046] In addition, as shown in Figure 4 The application also comprises a partition plate 122 arranged in the water storage atomizing tank 12, the water draining device 5 and the atomizing device 14 are arranged on the two sides of the partition plate 122, and the two sides are communicated through the apertures on the partition plate 122, so as to ensure that the water enters the atomizing device 14 on the other side of the partition plate 122 from the water draining device 5 on one side of the partition plate 122, and the air duct 161 extends from the tank area where the atomizing device 14 is arranged. The water draining device 5 comprises a smart valve 51 arranged at the bottom of the water tank 3 and a lever type float 52 arranged in the water storage atomizing tank 12, and the structure of the lever type float 52 can be combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4It can be seen that the fixed seat is arranged in the water storage atomizing tank 12, the rotating shaft is arranged on the fixed seat, the float can swing along the rotating shaft with the water level, one end of the float is provided with the top rod 521 corresponding to the intelligent valve 51 arranged at the bottom of the water tank 3, when the water level in the water storage atomizing tank 12 is low enough, the one end of the float drops, the one end with the top rod 521 rises, and then the intelligent valve 51 is opened to make the water in the water tank 3 flow into the water storage atomizing tank 12; when the water level gradually rises, the one end of the float with the top rod 521 gradually drops, and when the intelligent valve 51 is difficult to be lifted, the intelligent valve 51 gradually closes.
[0047] Of course, in order to avoid heat conduction between the water storage atomizing tank 12 and the water storage heating tank 11, a layer of heat insulation material can be arranged between the two.
[0048] The mist holding cavity is arranged above the heating device and the atomizing device, covers the heating device, the atomizing device and the air outlet of the fan air duct, the ventilation duct of the water tank penetrates through the mist duct pipe of the mist holding cavity, and the intelligent valve is above the top rod of the float. The top cover is covered, the mist outlet is communicated with the mist duct pipe and the mist holding cavity. The atomizing device here is a common ultrasonic atomizing piece, and the heating device can adopt various structural forms of electric heating bodies, which will not be described here.
[0049] In use, the water in the water tank flows into the water storage atomizing tank through the intelligent valve, and the water in the water storage atomizing tank flows into the water storage heating tank from the water outlet. When cold mist is needed, the atomizing device works alone, the water mist generated is brought into the mist duct pipe from the mist outlet by the wind generated by the fan in the mist holding cavity and blown into the air. When warm mist is needed, the heating device works alone, the steam mist generated is brought into the mist duct pipe from the mist outlet by the wind generated by the fan in the mist holding cavity and blown into the air. When cold and warm mixed mist is needed, the atomizing device and the heating device work simultaneously, the cold water mist generated by the atomizing device and the steam mist generated by the heating device are mixed together in the mist holding cavity to form cold and warm mixed mist, which is brought into the mist duct pipe from the mist outlet by the wind generated by the fan and blown into the air, so that three humidification working modes can be realized.
[0050] Obviously, the above embodiments are only examples for clearly illustrating, but not limitation on the embodiments. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. All the embodiments do not need to be exhausted, and the obvious changes or variations derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of the present application.
