[0038] Figure 7 This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a computer device corresponding to an operating method of a humidifier provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Detailed Implementation

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the embodiments of this application will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0040] The method provided in this application can prevent insufficient water volume in the humidifier or residual water in the water tank, thereby improving the user experience.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] Traditional humidifiers operate based on both the amount of mist produced and the amount of water, making it difficult for users to intuitively determine the relationship between the water level in the tank and the humidification time. If users fill the tank completely and the humidifier shuts off after a preset time, manually emptying the remaining water not only wastes water but also causes inconvenience. Furthermore, failure to empty the remaining water promptly can lead to bacterial growth or unpleasant odors, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0043] If the user adds too little water, the machine will stop prematurely in timed mode, failing to achieve the required humidification time or requiring the user to add water again, which also causes inconvenience.

[0044] This invention provides a humidifier water tank, the outer surface of which is provided with a scale group;

[0045] The scale group is used to indicate the correspondence between the amount of water in the humidifier's water tank and the remaining working time of the humidifier.

[0046] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a humidifier water tank provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0047] See Figure 1 Specifically, each graduation in the scale group corresponds to a duration, that is, the duration for which the humidifier can operate at the current water level. Figure 1In terms of the positional relationship, the humidification time decreases continuously from top to bottom. The more water there is, the longer the remaining humidification time, and the less water there is, the shorter the humidification time.

[0048] Users do not need to set the usage time when using the humidifier; they can simply control the humidifier's running time by controlling the water volume, thus effectively meeting their needs.

[0049] In a specific example Figure 1 The water tank in the medium-sized humidifier can hold enough water to keep the humidifier running for 4.5 hours.

[0050] The humidifier water tank provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a scale on its outer surface, which can accurately and intuitively provide users with humidification time information corresponding to the current water volume. This allows users to keep track of the humidifier's operation and avoid inconvenience caused by insufficient water or water remaining in the tank, effectively improving the user experience.

[0051] Example 2

[0052] In some embodiments, the humidifier can operate at different speeds, each with different power levels and a different amount of water consumed per unit time.

[0053] In some embodiments, the scale group includes a first number of sub-scale groups;

[0054] The first quantity is the number of speed settings of the humidifier, and each speed setting corresponds to a sub-scale group;

[0055] Each sub-scale group indicates the relationship between the amount of water in the humidifier's tank and the remaining operating time of the humidifier when the humidifier is operating at the corresponding setting.

[0056] The humidifier water tank provided in this embodiment of the invention includes sub-scale groups corresponding to each setting, to indicate the duration for which the current water volume can supply the humidifier when it is running at different settings.

[0057] Figure 2 Another schematic diagram of the humidifier water tank provided in an embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0058] See Figure 2 In a specific example, the humidifier has two operating levels, with the high level corresponding to one sub-scale group and the low level corresponding to another sub-scale group.

[0059] If operated at the high setting, the current water volume can power the humidifier for 3 hours; if operated at the low setting, the current water volume can power the humidifier for 4.5 hours.

[0060] In some embodiments, two or more sub-scale groups may share a set of scales to distinguish different gears by time markings at different positions.

[0061] The humidifier water tank provided in this invention offers convenience to users, eliminating the need for complex operations or learning any usage procedures. It avoids the problem of users setting the humidifier's operating time and the mismatch between the current water volume and the required time. By setting different sub-scale groups for different speed settings, it further meets the actual needs of users, providing a reference for selecting the speed setting or adding water.

[0062] Example 3

[0063] In some embodiments, the water inlet of the humidifier water tank is located at the bottom of the humidifier water tank; the scale group includes a positive scale group and a negative scale group;

[0064] The positive scale group is used to indicate the correspondence between the amount of water in the humidifier water tank and the remaining working time of the humidifier when the humidifier water tank is installed on the humidifier.

[0065] The reverse scale group is used to indicate the correspondence between the amount of water in the humidifier tank and the remaining working time of the humidifier when the humidifier tank is inverted for filling.

[0066] Figure 3 Another schematic diagram of the humidifier water tank provided in this application is shown.

[0067] See Figure 3 Some types of humidifiers have the water inlet at the bottom of the tank. This means that when the humidifier is running, the inlet is at the bottom, and when you need to fill the tank, you need to flip the tank so that the inlet is facing upwards.

[0068] In a specific example, when filling the humidifier tank with the inlet facing upwards, the reverse scale indicates that the current water volume is sufficient for the humidifier to run for 4.5 hours. Once the humidifier tank is installed on the humidifier, the forward scale indicates that the current water volume is sufficient for the humidifier to run for 4.5 hours.

[0069] This invention provides a method to accurately determine the required water volume when filling water by setting a positive scale group and a reverse scale group, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0070] In some embodiments, the positive scale group includes a first number of positive sub-scale groups;

[0071] The first quantity is the number of speed settings of the humidifier, and each speed setting corresponds to a positive sub-scale group;

[0072] Each of the positive subscale groups is used to indicate the relationship between the amount of water in the humidifier tank and the remaining working time of the humidifier when the humidifier is running at the corresponding setting, when the humidifier water tank is installed on the humidifier.

[0073] In some embodiments, the reverse scale group includes a first number of reverse sub-scale groups;

[0074] The first quantity is the number of speed settings of the humidifier, and each speed setting corresponds to a reverse sub-scale group;

[0075] Each of the reverse subscale groups is used to indicate the relationship between the amount of water in the humidifier tank and the remaining working time of the humidifier when the humidifier is running at the corresponding setting, when the humidifier tank is inverted and filled with water.

[0076] In summary, the humidifier water tank provided by the embodiments of the present invention can provide a reliable reference for users to add water and adjust the speed. It is easy to implement, has a simple structure, and can avoid bacterial growth caused by insufficient water or excess water, thus effectively improving the user experience.

[0083] Step 102: Based on the correspondence, set different scales at different positions in the humidifier water tank to form a scale group to indicate the correspondence between different water volumes and the remaining working time of the humidifier.
