Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of atomization humidification technology, and more specifically to an atomizing fan. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for living standards and home appliance technology. Basic fans can only meet people's basic functional needs for fans, and their functions are relatively simple. However, in the hot summer, in addition to the need for air blowing, users also need to regulate air humidity. Under this demand, atomizing fans that can blow air and regulate air humidity have emerged.

[0003] In related technologies, the mist outlet of atomizing fans is located at the air outlet, aligned with the airflow direction. When the atomizing fan blows air, it atomizes water droplets and blows them outward. On one hand, the atomized water droplets can evaporate and absorb heat, making the atomizing fan effective at lowering the air temperature. On the other hand, the atomized water droplets released into the air can humidify the environment and cause dust in the air to settle, thus freshening the air. However, in order to keep the mist outlet aligned with the airflow direction, atomizing fans generally do not have a tilt adjustment function, limiting the airflow range to the horizontal direction, which affects the user experience. Furthermore, it also limits the humidification range to the horizontal direction, resulting in uneven humidification of the ambient space and failing to achieve overall humidity adjustment in the room. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention provides a misting fan to solve the problem in related technologies where misting fans lack pitch adjustment, resulting in limited airflow and mist direction, uneven humidification of the environment, and inability to adjust the overall indoor humidity.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention is implemented as follows:

[0006] This invention provides an atomizing fan, which includes a bracket, a mist outlet, a mounting housing, and a main body. The mounting housing has a receiving cavity, and the cavity wall of the receiving cavity is provided with a through hole. One end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other end of the bracket is located in the receiving cavity. The bracket has a first mist channel inside, the inlet of the first mist channel passes through one end of the bracket, and the outlet of the first mist channel passes through the other end of the bracket. The outlet of the first mist channel is opposite to the through hole.

[0007] One end of the mist outlet is located outside the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the mounting housing. The other end of the mist outlet is embedded in the through hole and extends into the first mist channel. The mist outlet is rotatable relative to the bracket. The mist outlet has a second mist channel inside. The inlet of the second mist channel passes through the other end of the mist outlet, and the outlet of the second mist channel passes through one end of the mist outlet. The second mist channel is used to receive mist from the first mist channel and deliver the mist to the outside of the atomizing fan.

[0008] Optionally, the atomizing fan further includes a drive motor and a gear. The drive motor is fixed to the mounting housing, and the output shaft of the drive motor is connected to the gear. The other end of the bracket is provided with a transmission tooth. The gear meshes with the transmission tooth. The drive motor is used to drive the gear to rotate, so that the gear rotates relative to the transmission tooth, and the gear moves on the transmission tooth, causing the mounting housing to rotate.

[0009] Optionally, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity is further provided with a mounting groove, and the mounting groove penetrates the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. The mounting groove and the through hole are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting housing. The middle part of the bracket is embedded in the mounting groove so that the other end of the bracket is located in the receiving cavity.

[0010] Optionally, a groove is provided on the outer wall of the other end of the mist outlet, the groove extends along the circumferential direction of the mist outlet, and a sealing ring is fitted on the groove wall, the sealing ring abutting against the channel wall of the first mist channel.

[0011] Optionally, the bracket includes a bracket body and a support rod. The support rod is fixedly connected to the body. The bracket body is connected to the support rod. The bracket body is located in the receiving cavity. The support rod has a first channel inside. The bracket body has a second channel inside. The first channel and the second channel communicate to form the first mist channel. The end of the second channel away from the support rod is opposite to the through hole.

[0012] The first channel is used to deliver mist to the second channel, and the second channel is used to deliver the mist to the outside of the atomizing fan.

[0013] Optionally, the support body is a support tube, the support tube has the second channel inside, the support tube has an opening in the middle, the opening communicates with the second channel, the wall of the opening is connected to the support rod, and the opening communicates with the first channel, and the two ends of the support tube are respectively connected to the mist outlet.

[0014] Optionally, the number of mist outlets is multiple, the support body includes multiple support rods, each of the multiple support rods is provided with a fluid channel, the multiple support rods are connected to the support rod, and the fluid channels of the multiple support rods are connected to the first channel, the fluid channels of the multiple support rods form the second channel, the mist outlet extends into the fluid channel and is rotatable relative to the support rod.

[0015] Optionally, the mounting housing is provided with an assembly column, the assembly column is provided with an assembly hole, and the part of the mist outlet located outside the receiving cavity is connected to an installation component, the installation component is provided with an installation hole, the installation hole is opposite to the assembly hole, and a fixing component is inserted through the installation hole and the assembly hole, the fixing component fixing the mounting housing and the mist outlet.

[0016] Optionally, the outer wall of the mounting housing has a mounting portion, the mounting portion having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface being located inside the receiving cavity, both the first surface and the second surface being planar, a mounting post being provided on the second surface, and the through hole being provided in the mounting portion and penetrating through the mounting post.

[0017] Optionally, the mist outlet can be made of plastic or metal.

[0018] In this embodiment of the invention, the atomizing fan includes a bracket, a mist outlet, a mounting housing, and a main body. One end of the bracket is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other end of the bracket is located in the receiving cavity of the mounting housing. The bracket has a first mist channel inside. Since the inlet of the first mist channel passes through one end of the bracket and the outlet of the first mist channel passes through the other end of the bracket, the first mist channel extends from one end of the bracket to the other end, passing through the bracket, thereby allowing the bracket to transport mist from the main body to the other end of the bracket. One end of the mist outlet is located outside the receiving cavity and is fixedly connected to the mounting housing. A through hole is also provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity. The other end of the mist outlet can be embedded in the through hole. Since the outlet of the first mist channel is opposite to the through hole, the other end of the mist outlet, after being embedded in the through hole, can extend into the first mist channel. The mist outlet has a second mist channel inside. Since the inlet of the second mist channel passes through the other end of the mist outlet and the outlet of the second mist channel passes through one end of the mist outlet, the second mist channel also extends from one end of the mist outlet to the other end, passing through the mist outlet. Therefore, after the other end of the mist outlet extends into the first mist channel, the second mist channel can communicate with the first mist channel. Thus, the bracket can transport the mist through the first mist channel to the second mist channel of the mist outlet. Then, the mist can flow through the second mist channel to the outside of the mounting housing, so that the mist can reach the outside of the atomizing fan and achieve the regulation of the ambient humidity. Since the mist outlet and the bracket are rotatable relative to each other, and the mist outlet is fixedly connected to the mounting housing, when the bracket rotates relative to the mist outlet, the bracket will also rotate relative to the mounting housing. Since the bracket is fixedly connected to the body, the mounting housing can rotate, so that the mounting housing and the mist outlet on the housing can rotate synchronously. This allows the air outlet and mist outlet of the atomizing fan to move synchronously, ensuring that the airflow direction is consistent with the mist output direction. This allows the wind force to assist the mist, enabling the mist to travel a longer distance in the environment.

[0019] In other words, in this embodiment, the mist outlet is fixed to the mounting housing and rotatably connected to the bracket through a through hole in the mounting housing. Since the bracket is fixed to the body, it remains stationary relative to the body. When the bracket is rotated relative to the mounting housing, the mounting housing can rotate and move relative to the body, achieving pitch movement of the mounting housing. Pitching of the mounting housing causes a change in the airflow direction. Because the mist outlet is fixed to the mounting housing, when the pitch and airflow direction of the mounting housing changes, the mist outlet also moves accordingly, thus maintaining consistency between the airflow direction and the mist outlet direction. Therefore, the atomizing fan proposed in this application has a pitch function, allowing the atomizing fan to emit mist in different directions, resulting in a larger humidification range, improved uniformity of humidification of the ambient space, and better adjustment of the overall indoor humidity, leading to a better humidification effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] It should be understood that the phrase "one embodiment" or "an embodiment" throughout the specification means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic related to the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the invention. Therefore, "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" appearing throughout the specification do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment. Furthermore, these specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the atomizing fan 100 includes a bracket 20, a mist outlet 30, a mounting housing 10, and a main body. The mounting housing 10 has a receiving cavity 11, and a through hole 12 is provided on the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11. One end of the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other end of the bracket 20 is located in the receiving cavity 11. The bracket 20 has a first mist channel 21 inside, the inlet of the first mist channel 21 passes through one end of the bracket 20, the outlet of the first mist channel 21 passes through the other end of the bracket 20, and the outlet of the first mist channel 21 is opposite to the through hole 12; the mist outlet 30... One end of the 0 is located outside the receiving cavity 11 and is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10. The other end of the mist outlet 30 is embedded in the through hole 12 and extends into the first mist channel 21. The mist outlet 30 is rotatable relative to the bracket 20. The mist outlet 30 has a second mist channel 31 inside. The inlet of the second mist channel 31 passes through the other end of the mist outlet 30, and the outlet of the second mist channel 31 passes through one end of the mist outlet 30. The second mist channel 31 is used to receive the mist from the first mist channel 21 and deliver the mist to the outside of the atomizing fan 100.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the atomizing fan 100 includes a bracket 20, a mist outlet 30, a mounting housing 10, and a main body. One end of the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other end of the bracket 20 is located in the receiving cavity 11 of the mounting housing 10. The bracket 20 has a first mist channel 21 inside. Since the inlet of the first mist channel 21 passes through one end of the bracket 20 and the outlet of the first mist channel 21 passes through the other end of the bracket 20, the first mist channel 21 extends from one end of the bracket 20 to the other end, passing through the bracket 20. Thus, the bracket 20 can transport mist from the main body to the other end of the bracket 20. One end of the mist outlet 30 is located outside the receiving cavity 11 and is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10. The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11 is also provided with a through hole 12. The other end of the mist outlet 30 can be embedded in the through hole 12. Since the outlet of the first mist channel 21 is opposite to the through hole 12, after the other end of the mist outlet 30 is embedded in the through hole 12, it can extend into the first mist channel 21. The mist outlet 30 has a second mist channel 31 inside. Since the inlet of the second mist channel 31 passes through the other end of the mist outlet 30 and the outlet of the second mist channel 31 passes through one end of the mist outlet 30, the second mist channel 31 also extends from one end of the mist outlet 30 to the other end, passing through the mist outlet 30. Therefore, after the other end of the mist outlet 30 extends into the first mist channel 21, the second mist channel 31 can communicate with the first mist channel 21. Thus, the bracket 20 can transport the mist through the first mist channel 21 to the second mist channel 31 of the mist outlet 30. Then, the mist can flow through the second mist channel 31 to the outside of the mounting housing 10, so that the mist can reach the outside of the atomizing fan 100 and achieve the regulation of the ambient humidity. Since the mist outlet 30 and the bracket 20 are rotatable relative to each other, and the mist outlet 30 is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10, when the bracket 20 rotates relative to the mist outlet 30, the bracket 20 will also rotate relative to the mounting housing 10. Since the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the body, the mounting housing 10 can rotate, so that the mounting housing 10 and the mist outlet 30 on the housing can rotate synchronously. This allows the air outlet and mist outlet of the atomizing fan 100 to move synchronously, keeping the air outlet and mist outlet moving synchronously so that the air outlet direction is consistent with the mist outlet direction. This allows the wind force to assist the mist, enabling the mist to travel a longer distance in the environment.

[0033] That is, in this embodiment, the mist outlet 30 is fixed to the mounting housing 10 and rotatably connected to the bracket 20 through the through hole 12 on the mounting housing 10. Since the bracket 20 is fixed to the body, the bracket 20 is stationary relative to the body. When the bracket 20 is rotated relative to the mounting housing 10, the mounting housing 10 can rotate and move relative to the body, achieving the pitch movement of the mounting housing 10. The pitch of the mounting housing 10 will cause a change in the airflow direction. Since the mist outlet 30 is fixed to the mounting housing 10, when the pitch airflow direction of the mounting housing 10 changes, the mist outlet 30 will also move accordingly, thereby maintaining the consistency between the airflow direction and the mist outlet direction. Therefore, the atomizing fan 100 proposed in this application has a pitch function, which allows the atomizing fan 100 to emit mist in different directions, making the humidification range of the atomizing fan 100 larger, improving the uniformity of humidification of the ambient space, achieving adjustment of the overall indoor humidity, and providing a better humidification effect for the ambient space.

[0034] In related technologies, the component used to deliver mist in the atomizing fan 100 is a flexible hose. The mist can flow in the hose and be sprayed out through the hose's outlet to humidify the environment. If a pitch function is directly added to the atomizing fan 100 in related technologies, the hose will also bend and deform during the pitching motion of the fan head, causing some parts of the hose to be squeezed, hindering the flow of mist, and resulting in uneven mist output with varying amounts.

[0035] In the atomizing fan 100 proposed in this application, when the mounting housing 10 performs pitching motion, the bracket 20 and the mist outlet 30 can rotate relative to each other, so that the mist outlet 30 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the mounting housing 10. (Refer to...) Figure 6 , Figure 7 The diagram shows the atomizing fan 100 expelling air and mist from different directions. Figure 6 The atomizing fan 100 in the middle blows air and mist in a horizontal direction. Figure 7 The atomizing fan 100 in the middle blows air and mist upwards. Figure 7 The state of the atomizing fan 100 shown is determined by... Figure 6The atomizing fan 100 is shown tilted upwards. In this application, the mist outlet 30 rotates synchronously with the rotation of the mounting housing 10, which avoids bending or deformation of the mist outlet 30. This prevents deformation of the mist outlet 30 during the pitching motion of the atomizing fan 100, thus avoiding the problem of reduced volume in a portion of the second mist channel 31, which would hinder mist flow. This ensures that the mist flowing from the second mist channel 31 is more uniform, avoiding inconsistent mist output. That is, this application sets the mist flow path to include the first mist channel 21 and the second mist channel 31. When the atomizing fan 100 pitches, the mist outlet 30 can rotate relative to the bracket 20, allowing the second mist channel 31 to rotate relative to the first mist channel 21. This avoids the problem of compression and deformation of the second mist channel 31 hindering mist flow. The bending of the hose in related technologies is transformed into the rotation of the mist outlet 30, ensuring that the internal dimensions of the second mist channel 31 remain unchanged and preventing uneven mist output.

[0036] It should be noted that a head fan and fan blades are also connected to the mounting housing 10, and a body fan is also installed on the body, located below the bracket 20. The body fan, head fan, and fan blades can assist the flow of mist. Specifically, the body fan can send the mist into the bracket 20, making it easier for the mist to reach the outlet of the second mist channel 31. The head fan and fan blades can assist the mist coming out of the second mist channel 31 at the head, so that the mist can reach a farther position and avoid the problem of mist accumulating near the atomizing fan 100.

[0037] It should also be noted that, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, in order to facilitate the rotatable connection between the mist outlet 30 and the bracket 20, the other end of the mist outlet 30 and the other end of the bracket 20 can both be circular in shape. The cross-section of the second mist channel 31 inside the mist outlet 30 and the first mist channel 21 inside the bracket 20 in the axial direction of the through hole 12 can also be circular. The inner diameter of the other end of the bracket 20 is larger than the outer diameter of the other end of the mist outlet 30, so that the mist outlet 30 can extend into the first mist channel 21 and the two can rotate relative to each other.

[0038] In some embodiments, the mist outlet 30 may be made of plastic or metal.

[0039] Plastic and metal are rigid components and are not easily deformed. Since the mist outlet 30 is made of plastic and metal, it is rigid. When the mounting housing 10 pitches, it also drives the mist outlet 30 to pitch and rotate. At this time, there is a relative rotation between the mist outlet 30 and the bracket 20. The rigidity of the mist outlet 30 can better prevent the deformation of the second mist channel 31 inside the mist outlet 30 when the mist outlet 30 and the bracket 20 rotate relative to each other, thus avoiding the problem of uneven mist output.

[0040] It should be noted that the material of the mist outlet 30 can be polyformaldehyde (POM), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene plastic (ABS), polypropylene (PP), or other plastics. Alternatively, the material of the mist outlet 30 can be stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper, or other metals. The specific material of the mist outlet 30 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0041] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the atomizing fan 100 may also include a drive motor 40 and a gear 50. The drive motor 40 is fixed to the mounting housing 10, and the output shaft of the drive motor 40 is connected to the gear 50. The other end of the bracket 20 is provided with a transmission gear 22. The gear 50 meshes with the transmission gear 22. The drive motor 40 is used to drive the gear 50 to rotate, so that the gear 50 rotates relative to the transmission gear 22, and the gear 50 moves on the transmission gear 22, causing the mounting housing 10 to rotate.

[0042] The atomizing fan 100 also includes a drive motor 40 and a gear 50. The drive motor 40 is fixed to the mounting housing 10. Since the output shaft of the drive motor 40 is connected to the gear 50, when the drive motor 40 is working, the output shaft can transmit power to the gear 50, allowing the gear 50 to move around its own axis. The other end of the bracket 20 is provided with a transmission gear 22. Since the gear 50 meshes with the transmission gear 22, when the drive motor 40 drives the gear 50 to rotate, the gear 50 can rotate relative to the transmission gear 22. The bracket 20 is fixed to the body and remains stationary, so the transmission gear 22 also remains stationary. When the drive motor 40 drives the gear 50 to rotate, the gear 50 will also move on the transmission gear 22, allowing the gear 50 to rotate around the axis of the transmission gear 22. Since gear 50 is connected to drive motor 40, and drive motor 40 is fixed to mounting housing 10, when gear 50 moves on transmission gear 22, it will drive mounting housing 10 to rotate around the axis of transmission gear 22, thereby realizing the pitching motion of mounting housing 10.

[0043] The drive motor 40 can be a stepper motor. Upon receiving a pulse signal, the stepper motor can rotate a fixed angle. Therefore, when the user needs to tilt the atomizing fan 100, the stepper motor can rotate the mounting housing 10 by a fixed angle. If further angle adjustment is needed, the stepper motor can be operated to rotate. Alternatively, the drive motor 40 can be a rotary motor, which can drive the mounting housing 10 to tilt. When the mounting housing 10 rotates to a suitable angle, the rotary motor stops operating. The drive motor 40 is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10. To allow the gear 50 connected to the drive motor 40 to mesh with the transmission gear 22 on the bracket 20, the drive motor 40 can be positioned near the through hole 12. For easy connection, a screw post can be provided on the mounting housing 10, and a screw through hole can be provided on the drive motor 40. The screw is screwed into the screw post through the through hole to achieve the connection between the two.

[0044] It should be noted that, generally speaking, the fan's tilt only needs to be within a certain range; it does not need to tilt around the entire body. In other words, the rotation angle of the fan head in the tilt direction does not need to be 180° or even 360°. In the atomizing fan 100 proposed in this application, the range of motion of the gear 50 on the transmission gear 22 can also be small to meet the user's needs. Therefore, the transmission gear 22 can be located on the periphery of the other end of the bracket 20, and only a section of it is required. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this design reduces the manufacturing cost of the transmission gear 22 while also meeting the user's pitch requirements for the mounting housing 10. For example, taking the meshing position of the gear 50 and the transmission gear 22 when the axis of the mounting housing 10 is parallel to the horizontal direction as a reference, the transmission gear 22 can be set in a first segment clockwise on the bracket 20, and then in a second segment counterclockwise on the bracket 20. The first and second segments can constitute a complete transmission gear 22. The setting position of the transmission gear 22 on the bracket 20 is determined. Specifically, the degree of the central angle corresponding to the first segment can be 30°, 40°, 45°, 20°, etc., and the degree of the central angle corresponding to the second segment can also be 30°, 40°, 45°, 20°, etc. The setting range of the transmission gear 22 on the bracket 20 can be set according to the user's needs, and this embodiment of the invention does not impose specific limitations here.

[0045] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, the drive motor 40 drives the gear 50 to rotate, and the gear 50 meshes with the transmission gear 22, allowing the gear 50 to move along the extension direction of the transmission gear 22, thereby achieving the pitch of the mounting housing 10. Besides the above method, the pitch of the mounting housing 10 can also be achieved in other ways, such as manual pitch adjustment. In this case, the user can apply force to the mounting housing 10 to make it pitch, causing the mist outlet 30 on the mounting housing 10 to also pitch, and causing the mist outlet 30 to rotate relative to the bracket 20, ensuring that the mist outlet direction is consistent with the air outlet direction. In this case, the drive motor 40 and gear 50 may not be provided on the mounting housing 10, and the transmission gear 22 may not be provided on the bracket 20. When manually adjusting the pitch of the atomizing fan 100, a limiting structure can also be provided to keep the mounting housing 10 stationary at a certain angle. For the specific form of the limiting structure, refer to the common pitchable fans in the prior art; this embodiment of the invention will not elaborate further here.

[0046] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11 may also be provided with a mounting groove 13, and the mounting groove 13 penetrates the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11. The mounting groove 13 and the through hole 12 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting housing 10. The middle part of the bracket 20 is embedded in the mounting groove 13 so that the other end of the bracket 20 is located in the receiving cavity 11.

[0047] The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11 is also provided with a mounting groove 13. Since the mounting groove 13 penetrates the cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11, the receiving cavity 11 is connected to the outside of the mounting housing 10 at the location where the mounting groove 13 is provided. The bracket 20 can be installed in the receiving cavity 11 through the mounting groove 13, that is, the middle part of the bracket 20 can be embedded in the mounting groove 13, so that the other end of the bracket 20 can be located in the receiving cavity 11, so that the other end of the bracket 20 can be opposite to the through hole 12 on the mounting housing 10, so that the mist outlet 30 can be inserted into the first mist channel 21 through the through hole 12. The mounting groove 13 and the through hole 12 are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting housing 10, which can avoid interference between the through hole 12 and the mounting groove 13. The through hole 12 and the mounting groove 13 are set at a certain distance, so that there is a transition part between the position where the bracket 20 is embedded in the mounting groove 13 and the position where the bracket 20 is opposite to the through hole 12, which facilitates the manufacturing of the bracket 20.

[0048] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4As shown, a groove 32 may be provided on the outer wall of the other end of the mist outlet 30. The groove 32 extends along the circumferential direction of the mist outlet 30. A sealing ring 60 is fitted on the groove wall of the groove 32, and the sealing ring 60 abuts against the channel wall of the first mist channel 21.

[0049] A slot 32 is provided on the outer wall of the other end of the mist outlet 30. The slot 32 extends along the circumferential direction of the mist outlet 30, that is, the slot 32 is arranged around the axis of the mist outlet 30. The arrangement of the slot 32 can make the size of the other end of the mist outlet 30 smaller, so that a sealing ring 60 can be set there, and the sealing ring 60 is fitted on the groove wall of the slot 32. Since the other end of the mist outlet 30 extends into the first mist channel 21, the sealing ring 60 can also extend into the first mist channel 21. That is, the sealing ring 60 can be located between the groove wall of the slot 32 and the channel wall of the first mist channel 21, which can seal the part between the first mist channel 21 and the outer wall of the mist outlet 30, avoiding gaps at the connection between the first mist channel 21 and the second mist channel 31, which would lead to mist leakage. Thus, the mist flowing out of the first mist channel 21 can enter the second mist channel 31 and be transported to the outside of the mounting housing 10 by the second mist channel 31.

[0050] It should be noted that the sealing ring 60 can be elastic. When the sealing ring 60 is provided on the mist outlet 30 and the other end of the mist outlet 30 extends into the first mist channel 21, the outer wall of the sealing ring 60 can abut against the channel wall of the first mist channel 21. At this time, the channel wall of the first mist channel 21 can compress the sealing ring 60, causing it to deform. Since the sealing ring 60 is also elastic, it has a tendency to recover its deformation, thus ensuring close contact between the sealing ring 60 and the groove wall of the slot 32 and the channel wall of the first mist channel 21, resulting in a good sealing effect between the bracket 20 and the mist outlet 30. The material of the sealing ring 60 can be silicone rubber, polyurethane rubber, etc. The specific material of the sealing ring 60 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0051] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the bracket 20 may include a bracket body 23 and a support rod 24. The support rod 24 is fixedly connected to the body. The bracket body 23 is connected to the support rod 24. The bracket body 23 is located in the receiving cavity 11. The support rod 24 has a first channel 241 inside. The bracket body 23 has a second channel 231 inside. The first channel 241 and the second channel 231 communicate to form a first mist channel 21. The end of the second channel 231 away from the support rod 24 is opposite to the through hole 12. The first channel 241 is used to transport mist to the second channel 231. The second channel 231 is used to transport mist to the outside of the atomizing fan 100.

[0052] The bracket 20 includes a bracket body 23 and a support rod 24 connected to each other. The support rod 24 is fixedly connected to the main body. The bracket body 23 can be located in the receiving cavity 11, opposite to the through hole 12 on the mounting housing 10, so as to be rotatably connected to the mist outlet 30. The support rod 24 has a first channel 241 inside, and the bracket body 23 has a second channel 231 inside. The first channel 241 and the second channel 231 are connected to form a first mist channel 21. The first channel 241 can be connected to the water tank in the main body, so that the mist can be delivered to the second channel 231. The second channel 231 is also opposite to the through hole 12, so that the mist can be delivered to the second mist channel 31 connected to the second channel 231, so as to achieve the spraying effect of the atomizing fan 100.

[0053] In some embodiments, the support body 23 can be a support tube with a second channel 231 inside. An opening is provided in the middle of the support tube, which is connected to the second channel 231. The wall of the opening is connected to the support rod 24 and is connected to the first channel 241. Mist outlets 30 are respectively connected to both ends of the support tube.

[0054] The support body 23 is a support tube, meaning it is tubular with internal channels for mist flow. Both ends are open to allow mist to flow in and out. These channels form a second channel 231, and the openings at both ends serve as outlets for this second channel 231, which are also outlets for the first mist channel 21. An opening is located in the middle of the support tube, and its wall can connect to a support rod 24, thus connecting the support body 23 and the support rod 24. Since the opening connects to the first channel 241, it also serves as the inlet for the second channel 231. Mist from the first channel 241 flows through this opening into the second channel 231 inside the support tube, and then exits through the mist outlets 30 connected to both ends of the support tube. That is, in this embodiment of the invention, the bracket body 23 is a support tube, and the two ends of the support tube can serve as the two outlets of the second channel 231. A mist outlet 30 can be connected to each end of the support tube. Both mist outlets 30 deliver the mist to the outside of the mounting housing 10, so as to realize the mist output from both sides of the atomizing fan 100, which can further improve the humidification range of the atomizing fan 100.

[0055] The support tube can be a V-shaped tube with an opening in the middle. The support rod 24 can also be connected to the middle of the V-shaped tube. In this case, the support body 23 and the support rod 24 can form a Y-shaped structure. The mist is diverted at the opening into the support tube and then flows from both ends of the support tube to the mist outlet 30. Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown; alternatively, the support tube can also be a straight tube with an opening in the middle, and the support rod 24 is also connected to the middle of the straight tube. In this case, the support body 23 and the support rod 24 can form a "T"-shaped structure, and the mist can also be diverted into the support tube at the opening, and then flow from both ends of the support tube to the mist outlet 30. The specific structure of the support tube is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0056] It should be noted that in this embodiment, there are two mist outlets 30. Both mist outlets 30 are connected to the end of the support rod 24. Correspondingly, there are also two through holes 12 on the mounting housing 10. The two mist outlets 30 are respectively embedded in the two through holes 12, so that they can extend into the support tube.

[0057] In addition, in some embodiments, the number of mist outlets 30 can be multiple. The support body 23 includes multiple support rods, each of which has a fluid channel inside. The multiple support rods are connected to the support rod 24, and the fluid channels of the multiple support rods are connected to the first channel 241. The fluid channels of the multiple support rods form a second channel 231. The mist outlet 30 extends into the fluid channel and is rotatable relative to the support rod.

[0058] The support body 23 includes multiple support rods, each of which may have a fluid channel inside. The flow channels of the multiple support rods can form a second channel 231, which can transport the mist in the first channel 241 to the second mist channel 31. Since the multiple support rods are all connected to the support rod 24, and the fluid channels of the multiple support rods are all connected to the first channel 241, the multiple support rods can all receive mist from the first channel 241, so that there is mist flowing inside the multiple support rods. Thus, the multiple support rods can all be connected to the mist outlets 30, so that the second mist channels 31 can be connected to the multiple second channels 231. That is, in this embodiment, the support body 23 includes multiple support rods, and the number of mist outlets 30 can be multiple. The multiple mist outlets 30 can be respectively set on the multiple support rods and connected to the fluid channels of the support rods. Thus, the support rod 24 can transport mist to the multiple mist outlets 30, so that the multiple mist outlets 30 can all emit mist, which can further improve the humidification range of the atomizing fan 100.

[0059] It should be noted that there are multiple support rods, which can deliver mist to multiple mist outlets 30. Specifically, the number of support rods 153 can be 2, 3, 4, etc., and the specific number of support rods is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention. When there are multiple support rods, in order to facilitate the connection of multiple support rods to the support rod 24, tees, crosses, etc. can be used for connection. For example, when there are 2 support rods, a tee can be set up, and the support rod 24 and the 2 support rods can be connected to the three ports of the tee respectively. Of course, the number of support rods can also be 1.

[0060] It should also be noted that in this embodiment, there are multiple mist outlets 30, and each mist outlet 30 is connected to the support rod 24. Correspondingly, there are also multiple through holes 12 on the mounting housing 10. The multiple mist outlets 30 can be respectively embedded in the multiple through holes 12, so that they can extend into the support tube.

[0061] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, an assembly column 14 can be provided on the mounting housing 10, and an assembly hole 141 is provided on the assembly column 14. A mounting member 33 can be connected to the part of the mist outlet 30 located outside the receiving cavity 11. The mounting member 33 is provided with a mounting hole 331, which is opposite to the assembly hole 141. A fixing member is provided in the mounting hole 331 and the assembly hole 141, and the fixing member fixes the mounting housing 10 and the mist outlet 30.

[0062] The mounting housing 10 is provided with an assembly column 14, which has an assembly hole 141. A mounting member 33 is connected to the mist outlet 30 located outside the receiving cavity 11. The mounting member 33 has an installation hole 331. When the mist outlet 30 is connected to the mounting housing 10, the installation hole 331 and the assembly hole 141 can be aligned. Then, a fixing member is inserted through the installation hole 331 and the assembly hole 141, so that the mounting housing 10 and the mist outlet 30 can be fixed by the fixing member, which facilitates the fixed connection between the mist outlet 30 and the mounting housing 10.

[0063] It should be noted that the fastener can be a threaded component, such as a screw or bolt. During installation, the threaded component can be screwed into the mounting hole 331 and the assembly hole 141. Since the threaded component is detachable, it can be removed and replaced if the mist outlet 30 is damaged, avoiding the need to replace the mounting housing 10 and reducing costs. Alternatively, the fastener can be other components, such as pins. Of course, the mist outlet 30 can also be fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10 in other ways, such as bonding or welding. The specific connection method between the mist outlet 30 and the mounting housing 10 is not specifically limited in this embodiment of the invention.

[0064] Additionally, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the outer wall of the mounting housing 10 may have a mounting portion 15. The mounting portion 15 has a first surface 151 and a second surface 152 opposite to each other. The first surface 151 is located inside the receiving cavity 11. Both the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 are planar. A mounting post 153 is provided on the second surface 152. A through hole 12 is provided in the mounting portion 15 and penetrates the mounting post 153.

[0065] Because the fan blades rotate at high speed to generate airflow when the fan is working, the fan head is generally made round to avoid collisions between the blades and other parts of the head, and to reduce the size of the head. In the atomizing fan 100 proposed in this application, the mounting housing 10 can also be made round, so that both the outer and inner walls of the mounting housing 10 are curved surfaces, making it difficult to set the through hole 12. Even if a hole can be drilled directly on the outer wall of the mounting housing 10, the length of the through hole 12 is small, resulting in a smaller portion of the mist outlet 30 embedded in the through hole 12. Consequently, there are fewer overlapping positions between the mist outlet 30 and the mounting housing 10, which may lead to unstable connection between the bracket 20 and the mist outlet 30, and insufficient support from the mounting housing 10 for the bracket 20 and the mist outlet 30. In this embodiment, the outer wall of the mounting housing 10 has a mounting portion 15, and the through hole 12 is located at the mounting portion 15. Since the first surface 151 and the second surface 152 of the mounting portion 15 are both flat, it is easy to set the through hole 12. A mounting post 153 is also provided on the second surface 152. A through hole 12 passes through the mounting post 153, so that the through hole 12 can extend from the first surface 151 to the end of the mounting post 153 away from the second surface 152. This allows the through hole 12 to be longer, and the portion of the mist outlet 30 embedded in the through hole 12 to be smaller. The mist outlet 30 can overlap with both the mounting post 153 and the mounting housing 10.

[0066] In this embodiment of the invention, the atomizing fan 100 includes a bracket 20, a mist outlet 30, a mounting housing 10, and a main body. One end of the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the main body, and the other end of the bracket 20 is located in the receiving cavity 11 of the mounting housing 10. The bracket 20 has a first mist channel 21 inside. Since the inlet of the first mist channel 21 passes through one end of the bracket 20 and the outlet of the first mist channel 21 passes through the other end of the bracket 20, the first mist channel 21 extends from one end of the bracket 20 to the other end, passing through the bracket 20. Thus, the bracket 20 can transport mist from the main body to the other end of the bracket 20. One end of the mist outlet 30 is located outside the receiving cavity 11 and is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10. The cavity wall of the receiving cavity 11 is also provided with a through hole 12. The other end of the mist outlet 30 can be embedded in the through hole 12. Since the outlet of the first mist channel 21 is opposite to the through hole 12, after the other end of the mist outlet 30 is embedded in the through hole 12, it can extend into the first mist channel 21. The mist outlet 30 has a second mist channel 31 inside. Since the inlet of the second mist channel 31 passes through the other end of the mist outlet 30 and the outlet of the second mist channel 31 passes through one end of the mist outlet 30, the second mist channel 31 also extends from one end of the mist outlet 30 to the other end, passing through the mist outlet 30. Therefore, after the other end of the mist outlet 30 extends into the first mist channel 21, the second mist channel 31 can communicate with the first mist channel 21. Thus, the bracket 20 can transport the mist through the first mist channel 21 to the second mist channel 31 of the mist outlet 30. Then, the mist can flow through the second mist channel 31 to the outside of the mounting housing 10, so that the mist can reach the outside of the atomizing fan 100 and achieve the regulation of the ambient humidity. Since the mist outlet 30 and the bracket 20 are rotatable relative to each other, and the mist outlet 30 is fixedly connected to the mounting housing 10, when the bracket 20 rotates relative to the mist outlet 30, the bracket 20 will also rotate relative to the mounting housing 10. Since the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the body, the mounting housing 10 can rotate, so that the mounting housing 10 and the mist outlet 30 on the housing can rotate synchronously. This allows the air outlet and mist outlet of the atomizing fan 100 to move synchronously, keeping the air outlet and mist outlet moving synchronously so that the air outlet direction is consistent with the mist outlet direction. This allows the wind force to assist the mist, enabling the mist to travel a longer distance in the environment.

[0067] That is, in this embodiment, the mist outlet 30 is fixed to the mounting housing 10 and rotatably connected to the bracket 20 through the through hole 12 on the mounting housing 10. Since the bracket 20 is fixed to the body, the bracket 20 is stationary relative to the body. When the bracket 20 is rotated relative to the mounting housing 10, the mounting housing 10 can rotate and move relative to the body, achieving the pitch movement of the mounting housing 10. The pitch of the mounting housing 10 will cause a change in the airflow direction. Since the mist outlet 30 is fixed to the mounting housing 10, when the pitch airflow direction of the mounting housing 10 changes, the mist outlet 30 will also move accordingly, thereby maintaining the consistency between the airflow direction and the mist outlet direction. Therefore, the atomizing fan 100 proposed in this application has a pitch function, which allows the atomizing fan 100 to emit mist in different directions, making the humidification range of the atomizing fan 100 larger, improving the uniformity of humidification of the ambient space, achieving adjustment of the overall indoor humidity, and providing a better humidification effect for the ambient space.
