Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of humidification equipment technology, and in particular to a humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] A humidifier is a household appliance that increases the humidity in a room. Humidifiers typically include a water collection bracket, which usually has a hollow center to allow for water circulation inside the humidifier.

[0003] Therefore, when the humidifier is used to wet the wet curtain above the water receiving bracket, some water often does not fall onto the wet curtain or is not absorbed by the wet curtain and is thrown out by the humidifying fan, falling directly onto the water surface from a height, resulting in loud noise. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention is proposed to provide a humidifier that overcomes or at least partially solves the above problems.

[0005] This invention provides a humidifier, the humidifier comprising:

[0006] Water tank;

[0007] A water receiving bracket is fixed inside the water tank, and a water guide hole is provided in the middle area of ​​the water receiving bracket;

[0008] A receiving component, which is installed in the water guide hole;

[0009] At least one limiting block is disposed on the side of the receiving member, and the receiving member is constrained by the limiting block to the wall of the water guide hole so that the receiving member can receive water droplets dripping from above the water receiving bracket.

[0010] Optionally, the diameter of the water guide hole gradually decreases from the top end of the water receiving bracket to the bottom end of the water receiving bracket, and the limiting block is pressed and fixed to the wall of the water guide hole.

[0011] Optionally, the humidifier further includes multiple guide strips, which extend along the top of the water receiving bracket towards the bottom of the water receiving bracket, and form a water guiding groove between adjacent guide strips; wherein,

[0012] The limiting block extends into the water guide groove to limit the lateral position of the receiving member in the water guide hole.

[0013] Optionally, the bottom edge of the receiving member is pressed and fixed to the guide strip located in the water guide hole.

[0014] Optionally, the bottom edge of the limiting block is pressed against the wall of the water guide hole for fixation.

[0015] Optionally, the multiple guide strips are distributed at equal angles around the center of the water receiving bracket. When there are at least two limiting blocks, at least two limiting blocks are distributed at equal angles around the center of the receiving member and on the side of the receiving member.

[0016] Optionally, if the water level in the water guide hole exceeds the contact position between the receiving member and the guide strip located in the water guide hole; or,

[0017] When the water level in the water guide hole exceeds the position where the limiting block presses against the wall of the water guide hole, the receiving component floats up under the buoyancy of the water in the water guide hole.

[0018] Optionally, the receiving element is made of acetal resin or polypropylene material.

[0019] Optionally, if the water level in the water guide hole reaches the upper limit water level, the bottom surface of the receiving member is located inside the water guide hole.

[0020] Optionally, the cross-sectional shape of the water guide hole is circular, and the receiving component is a frustum structure, wherein the diameter of the upper bottom surface of the receiving component is smaller than the diameter of the lower bottom surface of the receiving component.

[0021] Optionally, the bottom surface of the limiting block is flush with the bottom surface of the receiving component.

[0022] Compared with existing technologies, this invention includes a water tank, a water receiving bracket, a receiving component, and at least one limiting block. The water receiving bracket is fixed inside the water tank, and a water guide hole is formed in the middle area of ​​the water receiving bracket. The receiving component is installed in the water guide hole, and the at least one limiting block is disposed on the side of the receiving component. The limiting block confines the receiving component to the wall of the water guide hole, so that the receiving component can receive water droplets dripping from above the water receiving bracket. This reduces the noise of water droplets falling from above the water receiving bracket to the water guide hole while ensuring smooth water circulation within the humidifier, thus improving the user experience.

[0032] Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art.

[0033] The humidifiers disclosed in the following embodiments can include floor-standing humidifiers and wall-mounted humidifiers, depending on their placement. They are primarily cold evaporation humidifiers, also known as mist-free humidifiers. They utilize the principle of natural evaporation, where a humidifying fan blows water from a wet curtain, accelerating the natural evaporation rate and allowing water molecules to naturally evaporate into the airflow channel within the humidifier body. Furthermore, the wet curtain filters impurities from the water, thus reducing the humidifier's water quality requirements. For example, tap water can be used directly for humidification without producing water mist, preventing floor and table wetness, and improving humidification efficiency. The humidifier has high product applicability. The humidifier may include a water tank 1, a water receiving bracket 2, a receiving component 3, and at least one limiting block 4. The water receiving bracket 2 is fixed inside the water tank 1, and a water guide hole 21 is provided in the middle area of ​​the water receiving bracket 2. The receiving component 3 is installed in the water guide hole 21, and at least one limiting block 4 is disposed on the side of the receiving component 3. The limiting block 4 restricts the receiving component 3 to the wall of the water guide hole 21, so that the receiving component 3 can receive water droplets dripping from above the water receiving bracket 2. This reduces the noise of water droplets falling from above the water receiving bracket 2 to the water guide hole 21 while ensuring smooth water circulation within the humidifier, thus improving the user experience.

[0034] Reference Figure 1-5 This invention provides a humidifier, which may include a water tank 1, a water receiving bracket 2, a receiving component 3, and at least one limiting block 4, wherein:

[0035] The water receiving bracket 2 is fixed inside the water tank 1, and a water guide hole 21 is provided in the middle area of ​​the water receiving bracket 2. The receiving member 3 is installed in the water guide hole 21, and at least one limiting block 4 is provided on the side of the receiving member 3. The limiting block 4 limits the receiving member 3 to the hole wall of the water guide hole 21 so that the receiving member 3 can receive water droplets dripping from above the water receiving bracket 2.

[0036] In this embodiment of the invention, the humidifier improves indoor air quality by increasing the moisture content in the air. The evaporative cooling pad in the humidifier is a filter made of fibrous material with numerous tiny pores distributed on its surface. Besides filtering the water in the water tank, the evaporative cooling pad also disperses the filtered water within the humidifier, forming tiny water droplets. The water tank 1 of the humidifier stores a certain amount of water. A water pump is also installed on the water tank; the inlet of the water pump is connected to the bottom of the water tank, and the outlet of the water pump is connected to a connecting water pipe, with the outlet of the connecting water pipe located above the evaporative cooling pad. Thus, when the humidifier is operating, the water pump draws water from the water tank 1 upwards towards the evaporative cooling pad, spraying it onto the pad. Furthermore, the humidifying fan in the humidifier generates pressure, blowing the tiny water droplets from the evaporative cooling pad into the environment outside the humidifier, thereby humidifying the user's environment.

[0037] The water guide hole 21 ensures water circulation in the humidifier. This means that some water drawn from the connecting water pipe enters the environment outside the humidifier, while some water that doesn't spray onto the wet curtain or isn't absorbed by it and is instead flung out by the humidifying fan flows into the water receiving bracket 2 or the water guide hole 21. Therefore, when some water circulating from the water tank 1 drips into the water guide hole 21 without being sprayed onto the wet curtain or absorbed by it, the receiving member 3 can catch the water droplets entering the water guide hole 21. This avoids the problem of excessive dripping noise caused by a large height difference between the water droplets on the connecting water pipe or wet curtain and the liquid level in the water guide hole 21.

[0038] After the water droplet is received on the upper surface of the receiving member 3, the water droplet can flow down the water surface (also known as the horizontal level inside the water tank 1) from the gap formed by the side of the receiving member 3, the limiting block 4, and the wall of the water guide hole 21. This ensures smooth water circulation within the humidifier, reduces the noise of water droplets falling from above the water receiving bracket 2 onto the water guide hole 21, and improves the user experience.

[0039] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 5 As shown, the diameter of the water guide hole 21 gradually decreases from the top end of the water receiving bracket 2 to the bottom end of the water receiving bracket 2, and the limiting block 4 is pressed and fixed to the hole wall of the water guide hole 21.

[0040] In this embodiment of the invention, the diameter of the water guide hole 21 gradually decreases from the top to the bottom of the water receiving bracket 2. This can be understood as the water guide hole 21 having an isosceles trapezoidal cross-sectional shape in the vertical direction, with its upper base located at the bottom of the water tank 1. The upper base refers to the base with the shortest side among the two bases. The lower base corresponding to the water guide hole 21 is located on the upper surface of the water receiving bracket 2.

[0041] Therefore, the wall of the water guide hole 21 forms a certain angle with the vertical direction. This angled arrangement facilitates water flow and further reduces water flow noise during circulation. On the other hand, it facilitates the rapid assembly of the receiving component 3. Specifically, viewed from the top of the water receiving bracket 2, the opening area of ​​the water guide hole 21 is relatively large, making it easier to insert the receiving component 3 from the top of the water receiving bracket 2 into the water guide hole 21, thus providing a guide for its assembly. This continues until the limiting block 4 presses against the wall of the water guide hole 21 for fixation. Those skilled in the art can determine the dimensions of the receiving component 3 and the limiting block 4 based on the desired position of the receiving component 3 on the water guide hole 21; however, no further limitations are made here.

[0042] In another alternative embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1-5 As shown, the humidifier may further include multiple guide strips 5, which extend along the top of the water receiving bracket 2 towards the bottom of the water receiving bracket 2, and form a water guiding groove 51 between two adjacent guide strips 5. The limiting block 4 extends into the water guiding groove 51 to limit the lateral position of the receiving member 3 in the water guiding hole 21.

[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, to better guide water from the water receiving bracket 2 into the water tank 1, multiple guide strips 5 can be provided on the water receiving bracket 2. The guide strips 5 extend from the top surface of the water receiving bracket 2 towards the bottom of the water guide hole 21. A water guide groove 51 can be formed between two adjacent guide strips 5. When water droplets fall onto the top surface of the water receiving bracket 2, they can be directed into the water guide hole 21 through the water guide groove 51. The arrangement of multiple guide strips 5 can improve the efficiency of water circulation within the humidifier. The limiting block 4 can extend into the water guide groove 51, thereby preventing the receiving member 3 from rotating or shifting laterally within the water guide hole 21 under the wind pressure of the humidifying fan.

[0044] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 5 As shown, the bottom edge of the receiving member 3 is pressed and fixed to the guide strip 5 located in the water guide hole 21.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the bottom edge of the receiving component 3 can form a pressure contact with the guide strip 5 located within the water guide hole 21, thereby limiting the axial position of the receiving component 3 within the water guide hole 21. That is, during the assembly of the receiving component 3, the receiving component 3 is first aligned with the water guide hole 21. Then, the limiting block 4 is aligned with the water guide groove 51, thereby placing the receiving component 3 from the top of the water receiving bracket 2 into the water guide hole 21. Under the action of gravity, the receiving component 3 will move downwards along the axial direction of the water guide hole 21 until the bottom edge of the receiving component 3 forms a pressure contact with the guide strip 5, at which point the assembly is complete. At this time, the pressure force between the receiving component 3 and the guide strip 5 limits the vertical position of the receiving component 3. The shape fit between the limiting block 4 and the water guide groove 51 limits the radial position of the receiving component 3 within the water guide hole 21. Those skilled in the art can determine the bottom dimensions of the receiving component 3 according to actual design requirements to match the height of the receiving component 3 within the water guide hole 21, without making excessive limitations here.

[0046] In another optional embodiment of the invention, the bottom edge of the limiting block 4 is pressed against the wall of the water guide hole 21 for fixation.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, the bottom edge of the limiting block 4 forms a pressure contact with the wall of the water guide hole 21, which can also limit the axial position of the receiving component 3 within the water guide hole 21. That is, the limiting block 4 can limit not only the radial position of the receiving component 3 within the water guide hole 21, but also its axial position. During the assembly of the receiving component 3, the receiving component 3 is first aligned with the water guide hole 21. Then, the limiting block 4 is aligned with the water guide groove 51, thereby placing the receiving component 3 from the top of the water receiving bracket 2 into the water guide hole 21. Then, under the action of gravity, the receiving component 3 will move downwards along the axial direction of the water guide hole 21 until the bottom edge of the limiting block 4 forms a pressure contact with the guide strip 5, at which point the assembly is complete. At this time, the pressure force between the limiting block 4 and the guide strip 5 limits the position of the receiving component 3 in the vertical direction. The shape fit between the limiting block 4 and the water guide groove 51 defines the radial position of the receiving member 3 in the water guide hole 21.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the limiting block 4 can be rectangular, fan-shaped, or similar. Those skilled in the art can determine the dimensions of the limiting block 4 according to actual design requirements to accommodate the height of the receiving member 3 within the water guide hole 21; however, no further limitations are imposed here.

[0049] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 1-4As shown, the multiple guide strips 5 are distributed at equal angles around the center of the water receiving bracket 2. When there are at least two limiting blocks 4, at least two of the limiting blocks 4 are distributed at equal angles around the center of the receiving member 3 and on the side of the receiving member 3.

[0050] In this embodiment of the invention, to facilitate the placement of the limiting block 4 and the processing of the guide strips 5, multiple guide strips 5 are distributed at equal angles around the center of the water receiving bracket 2 (i.e., the center of the water guiding hole 21). The guide strips 5 and the water receiving bracket 2 can be integrally formed, meaning they are molded as a single piece during production. This simplifies the manufacturing process of the humidifier and saves production costs.

[0051] In one example, the upper surface of the water receiving bracket 2 may be inclined. For example, the height of the upper surface of the water receiving bracket 2 gradually decreases from the outer edge of the upper surface to the inner edge near the water guide hole 21, thereby further facilitating the guiding of water dripping onto the water receiving bracket 2 into the water guide hole 21. As a preferred embodiment, the water receiving bracket 2 and the guide strip 5 can be injection molded parts, which have advantages such as being lightweight and having high processing efficiency. For example, the water receiving bracket 2 can be made of acetal resin or polypropylene. Acetal resin (POM, polyformaldehyde) has advantages such as being lightweight, having good processability, high mechanical strength, and good wear resistance, while polypropylene (PP, polypropylene) has advantages such as being lightweight, having good processability, and good wear resistance. Therefore, using one of the above materials to injection mold the water receiving bracket 2 can ensure the service life and lightweight nature of the water receiving bracket 2, and can reduce the production cost of the water receiving bracket 2.

[0052] The center of the receiving component 3 can also be understood as the central axis along which the receiving component 3 is distributed axially along the water guide hole 21, and the side surface of the receiving component 3 can be understood as the end face of the receiving component 3 along the axial direction of the water guide hole 21. Therefore, the equally angled limiting blocks 4 can improve the structural stability of the receiving component 3 within the water guide hole 21. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific number of limiting blocks 4 according to actual design requirements; for example, the limiting blocks 4 can be 3, 4, or 5, etc.

[0053] In one optional embodiment of the invention, when the water level in the water guide hole 21 exceeds the contact position between the receiving member 3 and the guide strip 5 located in the water guide hole 21; or, when the water level in the water guide hole 21 exceeds the contact position between the limiting block 4 and the hole wall of the water guide hole 21, the receiving member 3 floats up under the buoyancy of the water in the water guide hole 21.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the receiving component 3 floats up under the buoyancy of the water in the water guide hole 21. It can be understood that the receiving component 3 is a floating body, that is, the receiving component 3 can float on the water surface in the water guide hole 21.

[0055] In one example, when the water level in the water guide hole 21 exceeds the pressure contact position between the receiving member 3 and the guide strip 5 located in the water guide hole 21, the buoyancy generated by the water in the water guide hole 21 on the receiving member 3 and the limiting block 4 can enable the receiving member 3 to overcome the effect of gravity, release the pressure contact relationship between it and the guide strip 5 in the water guide hole 21, and make the receiving member 3 and the limiting block 4 float upward along the axial direction of the water guide hole 21.

[0056] In another example, when the water level in the water guide hole 21 exceeds the position where the limiting block 4 presses against the wall of the water guide hole 21, the buoyancy generated by the water in the water guide hole 21 on the receiving member 3 and the limiting block 4 can enable the receiving member 3 to overcome the effect of gravity, release the pressing relationship between the limiting block 4 and the wall of the water guide hole 21, and make the receiving member 3 float upward along the axial direction of the water guide hole 21.

[0057] In summary, the receiving component 3 is a float, ensuring that regardless of changes in the water volume in the water tank 1, the upper surface of the receiving component 3 can always catch water droplets falling into the water guide hole 21. For example, when the receiving component 3 floats upward with the water level, after catching a water droplet, it slowly flows to the water surface through the side of the receiving component 3. When the water level is low (e.g., not reaching the bottom surface of the receiving component 3), after catching a water droplet, it flows to the wall of the water guide hole 21 through the side of the receiving component 3, and then slowly flows to the water surface along the wall of the water guide hole 21. This further reduces the noise generated by water circulation.

[0058] The receiving component 3 has a simple structure and is very convenient to assemble from top to bottom. When the receiving component 3 drops to a certain position with the water level, it stops sliding down by contacting the wall of the water guide hole 21, so that the upper bottom surface of the receiving component 3 is always in a suitable height range for receiving falling water.

[0059] In one optional embodiment of the invention, the receiving element 3 is made of acetal resin or polypropylene material.

[0060] In this embodiment of the invention, acetal resin (POM, polyformaldehyde) has advantages such as light weight, good processability, high mechanical strength, and good wear resistance, while polypropylene (PP) also has advantages such as light weight, good processability, and good wear resistance. Therefore, using one of these materials to injection mold the support component 3 ensures the service life and portability of the support component 3, and reduces its production cost. To further reduce the weight of the support component 3, as a preferred embodiment, the interior of the support component 3 can be hollow.

[0061] When the receiving part 3 is an injection-molded part, the sound of water falling from a height onto this injection-molded part is relatively muffled. This can further reduce the noise of the falling water. Furthermore, since the vertical floating distance of the receiving part 3 is limited, the range of sound from the falling water onto it is known, and the noise level can be controlled by changing the size of the receiving part 3. Therefore, those skilled in the art can determine the size of the receiving part 3 according to actual design requirements, thereby ensuring that the water noise is within a controllable range or as small as possible; no further limitations are made here.

[0062] In one optional embodiment of the invention, when the water level in the water guide hole 21 reaches the upper limit water level, the lower bottom surface of the receiving member 3 is located inside the water guide hole 21.

[0063] In this embodiment of the invention, the lower bottom surface of the receiving component 3 is located within the water guide hole 21, which can prevent the receiving component 3 from floating out of the top of the water guide hole 21 and causing positional displacement. In one example, when the water level in the water guide hole 21 reaches the upper limit water level, the ratio between the first height difference between the lower bottom surface of the receiving component 3 and the side position of the receiving component 3 at the top of the water guide hole 21, and the second height difference between the upper bottom surface and the lower bottom surface of the receiving component 3, is greater than or equal to a preset height percentage. Those skilled in the art can determine the specific preset height percentage according to actual design requirements. For example, the preset height percentage can be 50%, 60%, or 70%, etc., and is not limited in detail here. The setting of the preset height percentage ensures that when the upper limit water level is reached, at least half of the receiving component 3 remains within the water guide hole 21, thereby preventing positional displacement of the receiving component 3.

[0064] In one optional embodiment of the invention, the cross-sectional shape of the water guide hole 21 is circular, and the receiving member 3 is a frustum structure, wherein the diameter of the upper bottom surface of the receiving member 3 is smaller than the diameter of the lower bottom surface of the receiving member 3.

[0065] In this embodiment of the invention, when the cross-sectional shape of the water guide hole 21 is circular, multiple guide strips 5 are arranged in a cocircular pattern within the water guide hole 21. This allows the lower bottom surface of the receiving member 3 to be adapted to the shape of the multiple guide strips 5. This shape adaptation ensures that during assembly, the bottom edge of the receiving member 3 can make contact with all the guide strips 5, thereby improving the structural stability of the receiving member 3. Furthermore, when the receiving member 3 has a frustum structure, the side surface between the upper and lower bottom surfaces of the receiving member 3 is inclined at a certain angle. This facilitates the introduction of water droplets collected on the receiving member 3 into the water guide channel 51 along the side surface of the receiving member 3. Simultaneously, it can also increase the flow rate of water droplets collected on the receiving member 3 as they are introduced into the water guide channel 51.

[0066] In one optional embodiment of the invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the bottom surface of the limiting block 4 is flush with the bottom surface of the receiving component 3.

[0067] In this embodiment of the invention, the limiting block 4 and the receiving component 3 can be an integral structure. Flush configuration can be understood as the lower bottom surface of the limiting block 4 and the lower bottom surface of the receiving component 3 being on the same horizontal plane. This facilitates the positioning of the limiting block 4 and the receiving component 3, thereby reducing the production cost of the receiving component 3.

[0068] In one example, referencing Figure 4 As shown, the radial extension length of the limiting block 4 along the water guide hole 21 is equal to the radial extension length of the guide strip 5 along the water guide hole 21. That is, when the bottom edge of the receiving member 3 forms pressure contact with all the guide strips 5, the limiting block 4 can also form pressure contact with the hole wall of the water guide hole 21, thereby further improving the connection stability of the receiving member 3 within the water guide hole 21.

[0069] In one optional embodiment of the invention, the water tank 1 of the humidifier is detachably connected to the humidifier body. The humidifier may further include a controller, a level switch electrically connected to the controller, and an indicator light connected in series with the level switch. When the water level in the water tank 1 drops to the lower limit level, the level switch closes, forming an electrical circuit between the indicator light, the level switch, and the controller, thereby illuminating the indicator light. After observing the indicator light illuminate, the user can remove the water tank 1 from the humidifier body, add a certain amount of water, and then reinstall the water tank 1 into the humidifier body.

[0070] In one example, when the level switch is a float-type level switch, the float of the float-type level switch is located inside the water tank 1 and can float up and down with changes in the water level in the water tank 1. When the water level in the water tank 1 reaches the lower limit level, the float sinks. As a result, the magnetic material inside the float is attracted to the magnetic material inside the regulating switch of the float-type level switch, causing the regulating switch to change from an open state to a closed state. This creates an electrical circuit between the indicator light, the level switch, and the controller, causing the indicator light to illuminate and alert the user that the water level is too low.

[0071] In summary, this invention discloses a humidifier that may include a water tank 1, a water receiving bracket 2, a receiving component 3, and at least one limiting block 4. The water receiving bracket 2 is fixed inside the water tank 1, and a water guide hole 21 is provided in the middle area of ​​the water receiving bracket 2. The receiving component 3 is installed in the water guide hole 21, and the at least one limiting block 4 is disposed on the side of the receiving component 3. The limiting block 4 confines the receiving component 3 to the wall of the water guide hole 21, so that the receiving component 3 can receive water droplets dripping from above the water receiving bracket 2. This reduces the noise of water droplets falling from above the water receiving bracket 2 onto the water guide hole 21 while ensuring smooth water circulation within the humidifier, thus improving the user experience.
