[0041] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0042] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application.

[0043] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0044] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0045] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper" and "lower" refer to the arrangement shown in the illustrations and the actual placement of the product in use.

[0046] The humidifier in the relevant technology includes a heating aluminum plate, a heat-conducting aluminum plate on the heating aluminum plate, and a humidification tank shell on the heat-conducting aluminum plate. The humidification tank shell and the heat-conducting aluminum plate are formed by pressing the aluminum plate together with a flange. The flanged part of the heat-conducting aluminum plate is located above the skirt of the humidification tank shell to achieve the purpose of sealing the humidification tank shell and conducting heat. The heat from the heating aluminum plate is transferred to the heat-conducting aluminum plate and finally to the water in the humidifier tank. The water in the humidifier tank is heated and produces water vapor, thereby providing the ventilator with gas of a certain temperature and humidity to meet the user's needs.

[0047] However, the flange of the heating aluminum plate is exposed to the outside, making it easy for users to touch and potentially burn themselves.

[0048] In view of this, this embodiment provides a solution that makes it less likely for the heat-conducting aluminum plate of the humidifier to burn the user. The solution provided in this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0049] Please see Figures 1-2 This application provides a baffle button structure, which includes a frame housing 1, a baffle button 3, a heat-resistant baffle 6, and a sliding component.

[0050] A first elastic element 4 is provided between the baffle button 3 and the frame housing 1. When the baffle button 3 is not subjected to downward pressure, there is a preset distance 2 between the bottom surface of the baffle button 3 and the frame housing 1. The preset distance 2 is greater than or equal to the distance from when the baffle button 3 is not subjected to pressure to when it moves down below the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier. This ensures that the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 can be easily removed.

[0051] The anti-scalding baffle 6 is connected to the baffle button 3. When the baffle button 3 is not subjected to downward pressure, the anti-scalding baffle 6 can block at least part of the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier.

[0052] The sliding component is slidably connected to the anti-scalding baffle 6. A second elastic element 7 is provided between the sliding component and the frame housing 1. When the baffle button 3 is subjected to downward pressure, the anti-scalding baffle 6 moves toward the baffle button 3 and / or toward the bottom surface of the frame housing 1 so that the anti-scalding baffle 6 does not block the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier.

[0053] Optionally, the frame housing 1 includes a mounting part 11 and a protective part 12. The baffle button 3 is mounted on the mounting part 11, and the protective part 12 can cover at least part of the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier. The connection between the mounting part 11 and the protective part 12 is at a certain angle, such as a 90° angle. Part of the protective part 12 is provided with an opening 121, and part is provided with a rim, the rim forming a receiving cavity 122.

[0054] Please see Figure 3 The heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and the humidification tank housing 9 are installed as a whole on the protection part 12 through the opening 121. After the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 is installed on the protection part 12, at least a portion of the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 is located within the receiving cavity 122, which shields the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8. In this way, the risk of the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 burning the user can be reduced.

[0055] Meanwhile, after the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 is installed on the protective part 12, the anti-scalding baffle 6 is located at the end of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 away from the bottom surface of the frame housing 1. The anti-scalding baffle 6 can shield the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 except for the flange located in the receiving cavity 122. In this way, after the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 is installed on the protective part 12, the anti-scalding baffle 6 and the protective part 12 can better shield the exposed flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, thereby further reducing the risk of the user being burned by the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8.

[0056] When the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and the humidification tank need to be removed from the button structure, a downward force is applied to the baffle button 3. Under the downward pressure, the baffle button 3 moves downward, and the baffle button 3 drives the anti-scalding baffle 6 to move downward together. At this time, the first reset component and the second reset component begin to be compressed. During the downward movement, the anti-scalding baffle 6 moves into the cavity of the baffle button 3 through the sliding component. At this time, the anti-scalding baffle 6 is no longer located on the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8.

[0057] Continue to apply downward force to the baffle button 3, and the baffle button 3 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 continue to move downward until the top surface of the baffle button 3 is below the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8. Then, remove the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and the humidification tank housing 9 as a whole from the opening 121 of the protection part 12.

[0058] After the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 is removed, the downward pressure on the baffle button 3 is no longer applied. The baffle button 3 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 move upward due to the rebound force of the first and second reset members. During the upward movement, the anti-scalding baffle 6 also moves away from the baffle button 3 along the sliding assembly until both the baffle button 3 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 return to their original positions.

[0059] Based on the above design, in this embodiment, by setting an anti-scalding baffle 6 that can cover at least part of the folded edge of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, the exposed folded edge of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of the user being scalded by the folded edge of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier.

[0060] In some embodiments, please refer again Figure 2 The sliding assembly includes a slider bracket 5, a second elastic element 7 located between the slider bracket 5 and the frame housing 1, and the top surface of the slider bracket 5 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the anti-scalding baffle 6.

[0061] When the anti-scalding baffle 6 is subjected to downward pressure, it moves downward along with the slider bracket 5, and simultaneously slides along the slider bracket towards the baffle button 3. This makes it easier for the anti-scalding baffle 6 to slide into the baffle button 3.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer again Figure 2 The anti-scalding baffle 6 includes a shielding part 61 and a sliding part 62 connected to each other. The sliding part 62 extends toward the slider bracket 5. When the baffle button 3 is not subjected to downward pressure, the shielding part 61 can shield at least part of the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier. The bottom surface of the sliding part 62 is provided with a dovetail protrusion 621, and the top surface of the slider bracket 5 is provided with a dovetail groove 51, or the bottom surface of the sliding part 62 is provided with a dovetail groove 51, and the top surface of the slider bracket 5 is provided with a dovetail protrusion 621. The dovetail protrusion 621 extends toward the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of the humidifier, and the dovetail groove 51 and the dovetail protrusion 621 are slidably connected.

[0063] In this embodiment, taking the bottom surface of the sliding part 62 having a dovetail protrusion 621 and the top surface of the slider bracket 5 having a dovetail groove 51 as an example, when the anti-scalding baffle 6 is subjected to downward pressure, the anti-scalding baffle 6 moves downward together with the slider bracket 5, and at the same time, the dovetail protrusion 621 of the anti-scalding baffle 6 slides along the dovetail groove 51 of the sliding bracket towards the baffle button 3. The dovetail groove 51 and the dovetail protrusion 621 can also be T-shaped. In this way, not only can the anti-scalding baffle 6 slide into the baffle button 3 more easily, but the anti-scalding baffle 6 and the slider bracket 5 are also less likely to separate in the vertical direction, thereby better ensuring the stability of the button structure.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figures 4-6The baffle button 3 is provided with a sliding pin 10, and the anti-scalding baffle 6 is provided with a backward sliding groove that is inclined downward in the direction away from the baffle button 3. The sliding pin 10 passes through the backward sliding groove and can slide along the backward sliding groove.

[0065] When the baffle button 3 moves downward, the baffle button 3 will cause the sliding pin 10 to slide in the back groove 622. While the sliding pin 10 slides in the back groove 622, it will cause the anti-scalding baffle 6 to move in the direction of the baffle button 3. When the sliding pin 10 slides to the bottom of the back groove 622, the anti-scalding baffle 6 can be completely located in the baffle button 3, and the anti-scalding baffle 6 no longer blocks the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 in the vertical direction.

[0066] When the anti-scalding baffle 6 moves upward under the action of the second reset member, the sliding pin 10 slides upward within the retraction groove 622. During the sliding process, the sliding pin 10 causes the anti-scalding baffle 6 to move away from the baffle button 3. When the sliding pin 10 slides to the top of the retraction groove 622, the anti-scalding baffle 6 returns to its original position and blocks the edge of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8. Thus, by setting the retraction groove 622 and the sliding pin 10 in cooperation, this embodiment can more easily achieve the purpose of the anti-scalding baffle 6 blocking the edge of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and removing the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8.

[0067] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figures 7-8 The bottom surface of the slider bracket 5 is provided with a first guide post 52 extending to the bottom surface of the frame housing 1. The frame housing 1 has a first guide hole 111. The first guide post 52 extends into the first guide hole 111 and can slide along the axial direction of the first guide hole 111. The second elastic element 7 includes a first spring 71 sleeved on the first guide post 52 and located between the frame housing 1 and the slider bracket 5.

[0068] When the anti-scalding baffle 6 moves downward and presses down on the sliding bracket, the slider bracket 5 transmits the downward force to the first spring 71. The first spring 71, under this downward force, is compressed between the frame housing 1 and the slider bracket 5, and the first guide post 52 extends into the first guide hole 111. When the user stops applying downward pressure to the baffle button 3, the first spring 71 returns to its original position and moves the slider bracket 5 away from the bottom surface of the frame housing 1, ultimately restoring the slider bracket 5 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 to their original positions. Thus, by setting the first spring 71, the downward movement and return to the original position of the slider bracket 5 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 can be made easier.

[0069] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figures 9-10The baffle button 3 is provided with a second guide post 31 extending toward the bottom surface of the frame housing 1. The baffle button 3 has a second guide hole 112. The second guide post 31 extends into the second guide hole 112 and can slide along the axial direction of the second guide hole 112. The first elastic element 4 includes a second spring 41 sleeved on the second guide post 31 and located between the baffle button 3 and the frame housing 1.

[0070] When the baffle button 3 is subjected to downward pressure, it transmits the pressure to the second spring 41. The second spring 41, under this downward force, is compressed between the frame housing 1 and the baffle button 3, and the second guide post 31 extends into the second guide hole 112. When the user stops applying downward pressure to the baffle button 3, the second spring 41 returns to its original position, moving the baffle button 3 away from the bottom surface of the frame housing 1, ultimately restoring it to its original position. Thus, by incorporating the second spring 41, the downward movement and return to the original position of the baffle button 3 are made easier.

[0071] Preferably, the spring constant of the first spring 71 is greater than that of the second spring 41.

[0072] If the elastic coefficient of the first spring 71 is less than that of the second spring 41, the first spring 71 will be easily compressed when the anti-scalding baffle 6 is subjected to the downward pressure of the baffle button 3. The sliding pin 10 may not move along the retraction groove, thus preventing the anti-scalding baffle 6 from retracting into the baffle button 3, which in turn prevents the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 from being removed smoothly.

[0073] To address the aforementioned technical issues, in this embodiment, the elastic coefficient of the first spring 71 is set to be greater than that of the second spring 41. When the baffle button 3 moves down, the anti-scalding baffle 6 will not immediately move down as well. Instead, the baffle button 3 will first drive the sliding pin 10 to slide along the retraction groove 622, causing the anti-scalding baffle 6 to retract into the baffle button 3. This better ensures that the anti-scalding baffle 6 no longer obstructs the flange of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, allowing the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 to be removed from the frame housing 1 more smoothly.

[0074] Preferably, please see again. Figure 10 The baffle button 3 is also provided with a mating groove 32. There can be multiple mating grooves 32. When the sliding pin 10 slides to the bottom of the retracting groove, the sliding part 62 of the anti-scalding baffle 6 enters the mating groove 32. The mating groove 32 restricts the anti-scalding baffle 6 from moving further towards the baffle button 3, ultimately forcing the anti-scalding baffle 6 and the baffle button 3 to move downwards together. This better limits the position of the anti-scalding baffle 6 towards the baffle button 3.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 11The baffle button 3 is also provided with a limiting plate 33, and the limiting plate 33 is provided with a limiting buckle 34. The frame housing 1 has a limiting groove 113 along the direction of movement of the baffle button 3. The limiting buckle 34 can engage with the end of the limiting groove 113 away from the bottom surface of the frame housing 1 to limit the distance the baffle button 3 moves away from the bottom surface of the frame housing 1. The baffle button 3 is also provided with a limiting ridge 35, and the frame housing 1 has a blocking protrusion 114. The limiting ridge 35 can contact the blocking protrusion 114 to limit the distance the baffle button 3 moves towards the bottom surface of the frame housing 1.

[0076] There can be multiple sliding pins 10 and limiting ribs 35. One sliding pin 10 is positioned between two limiting ribs 35. When the baffle button 3 moves downward, it will cause the limiting ribs 35 to move downward together until the limiting ribs 35 contact the blocking protrusion 114. The blocking protrusion 114 will then restrict the baffle button 3 from moving further downward. At this point, the baffle button 3 is just below the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, allowing the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 to be removed. This makes it easier to limit the downward movement of the baffle button 3.

[0077] When the baffle button 3, the anti-scalding baffle 6, and the slider bracket 5 are lifted upwards by the first spring 71 and the second spring 41, the limiting buckle 34 will lock into the upper end of the limiting groove 113. At this time, the sliding pin 10 just reaches the upper end of the retraction groove, and the baffle button 3, the anti-scalding baffle 6, and the slider bracket 5 return to their original positions. In this way, it is easier to limit the upward movement of the baffle button 3.

[0078] In summary, please refer to Figure 12 When it is necessary to remove the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and the humidification tank shell 9 as a whole, pressing the baffle button 3 can proceed in two stages. In the first stage, the baffle button 3 moves vertically downward under the action of external force. Since the elastic coefficient of the first spring 71 is greater than that of the second spring 41, the height of the slider bracket 5 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 can be kept basically unchanged. At this time, the sliding pin 10 on the baffle button 3 moves down to the bottom of the retraction groove of the anti-scalding baffle 6, so that the anti-scalding baffle 6 slides relative to the overall structure toward the baffle button 3 under the sliding of the horizontal dovetail protrusion 621 and the dovetail groove 51. Finally, the anti-scalding baffle 6 is horizontally retracted into the baffle button 3.

[0079] In the second stage, the baffle button 3 continues to move downwards, and the baffle button 3 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 make contact and move downwards as a whole. The first spring 71 is compressed until the limiting rib 35 on the baffle button 3 contacts the blocking protrusion 114 on the frame housing 1. At this time, the baffle button 3 can no longer move downwards. At this time, the baffle button 3 and the anti-scalding baffle 6 are completely submerged below the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8. There is no obstruction in the direction of taking out the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and the humidification tank housing 9 (the opening 121 of the frame housing 1), so the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 and the humidification tank housing 9 can be smoothly taken out from the opening 121 of the frame housing 1.

[0080] When the baffle button 3 is in the working state, the slider bracket 5 and the baffle button 3 are lifted vertically upward under the action of the spring force. The upper limit position of the baffle button 3 is limited by the limiting buckle 34 of the baffle button 3 engaging with the upper end of the limiting groove 113 on the frame housing 1 to achieve the working state. At this time, the sliding pin 10 reaches the top of the retracting slide groove. Under the action of the sliding pin 10 and the sliding bracket, the anti-scalding baffle 6 extends from the baffle button 3 onto the high-temperature metal area of ​​the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8. This state can prevent the user from directly contacting the high-temperature heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, thereby reducing the risk of the user being burned by the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8.

[0081] Based on the same inventive concept, please refer again to some embodiments. Figure 3 This application also provides a humidifier, which includes the baffle button structure, heating aluminum plate, heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, and humidification tank shell 9 described in this application. The heating aluminum plate is mounted on the baffle button structure, the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 is mounted on the heating aluminum plate, and the humidification tank shell 9 is mounted on the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8, forming a flanged structure between the humidification tank shell 9 and the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8. In use, the edge of the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8 of this humidifier can be shielded by the baffle button structure, thus reducing the risk of burns to the user from the heat-conducting aluminum plate 8.

[0082] Based on the same inventive concept, in some embodiments, this application also provides a ventilator that includes the humidifier described in this application.
