[0053] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0054] This application provides a humidification component 1. Specifically, the humidification component 1 can be used in a baseboard heater 2. The humidification component 1 of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a humidification component 1 according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 2 The diagram shows an exploded view of the structure of a humidification component 1 according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 3 The diagram shows a cross-sectional view of a humidification assembly 1 according to an embodiment of this application. Specifically, the humidification assembly 1 may include: a humidifier body 10; a bracket 20 connected to the humidifier body 10; a light-emitting element 30 connected to the bracket 20 and used to emit light; and a protective cover 40 covering the light-emitting element 30 and connected to the bracket 20, the protective cover 40 used to protect the light-emitting element 30, wherein the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are integrally formed.

[0056] Specifically, the humidifier body 10 can generate water mist. The humidifier body 10 is connected to the bracket 20, and there is a gap between the humidifier body 10 and the bracket 20. The water mist flows out from the gap and is conducted to the outside of the humidifier body 10. On the one hand, the water mist makes the air outside the humidifier body 10 more humid, thus enabling the humidification component 1 to have a humidification function. On the other hand, the light-emitting element 30 emits light. The water mist and the light emitted by the light-emitting element 30 work together. When the light shines on the mist, the Tyndall effect is generated, making the color of the water mist look like a flame, thus enabling the humidification component 1 to have the function of forming a simulated flame.

[0057] In existing technologies, the connection between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 typically involves a glue groove on the bracket 20, into which glue is injected to attach the protective cover 40. Because the glue groove is usually small and the amount of glue is limited, the connection between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 is unreliable, and the sealing performance of the humidification component 1 cannot be guaranteed. When the water mist generated by the humidifier body 10 flows back, it may enter the light-emitting plate through the gap between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20. Contact between the water mist and the light-emitting plate can cause a short circuit, preventing the humidification component 1 from creating a simulated flame effect and affecting the user experience. When the protective cover 40 is connected to the bracket 20, the bracket 20 needs to extend into the glue groove. To ensure the reliability of the connection, the glue groove is usually filled with glue. Therefore, when the bracket 20 extends into the glue groove, the glue overflows and flows onto the light-emitting element 30, blocking the light diffusion and causing the light-emitting element 30 to lack light, resulting in a poor simulated flame effect created by the humidification component 1. Because the glue tank is small, for example, the width of the glue tank is usually around 0.9mm, it is usually impossible to use the glue gun used in the normal glue injection process. Instead, the operator has to manually inject the glue with a syringe. The small width of the glue tank makes it more difficult for the operator to operate, increases the operator's workload, and reduces the operator's work efficiency.

[0058] In this embodiment, by making the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 an integrally formed structure, the connection between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 is more stable, improving the sealing performance of the humidification component 1. The light-emitting element 30 is located between the integrally formed structure of the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, preventing water mist from entering the light-emitting element 30 through the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, thus avoiding the problem of the light-emitting panel being broken due to water mist backflow, improving the user experience, eliminating the glue tank structure, eliminating the need for the operator to inject glue through a syringe, reducing the operator's operating difficulty, reducing the operator's workload, and improving the operator's work efficiency.

[0059] Specifically, the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the humidifier body 10. Further, one of a buckle or a slot 301 can be provided on the bracket 20, and the humidifier body 10 can also have one of a buckle or a slot 301. The bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the humidifier body 10 by engaging with the slot 301 through the buckle. In some alternative embodiments, the bracket 20 can have multiple connecting posts. Corresponding to the connecting posts, the humidifier body 10 has multiple connecting holes. The inner diameter of the connecting holes matches the outer diameter of the connecting posts. The connecting posts are passed through the connecting holes, thereby fixing the bracket 20 to the humidifier body 10.

[0060] The bracket 20 and the protective cover 40 are integrally formed, thereby fixing the protective cover 40 to the bracket 20. The bracket 20 is provided with a first mounting part, and the protective cover 40 is provided with a second mounting part. The first mounting part and the second mounting part together form the mounting part. The light-emitting element 30 is installed in the mounting part and is located under the cover of the protective cover 40, so that the light-emitting element 30 is protected by the protective cover 40, preventing the protective cover 40 from directly contacting the water mist generated by the humidifier body 10 with the light-emitting plate, which would cause the light-emitting element 30 to short-circuit and fail to emit light to form a simulated flame with the water mist, thus affecting the user experience.

[0061] Reference Figure 3 , refer to Figure 4 , showed Figure 3 An enlarged schematic diagram of region A. Optionally, the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are integrally injection molded structures.

[0062] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, both the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are plastic parts. During the injection molding process, the protective cover 40 is first placed in the mold of the protective cover 40, and the bracket 20 is placed in the mold of the bracket 20. The protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are formed by injection molding respectively. Then, the already injection-molded protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are placed together in the injection mold and injected again, so that the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 become an integral molded structure, making the connection between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 more stable and improving the sealing performance of the humidification component 1. The light-emitting element 30 is located between the integral molded structure of the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20. Water mist cannot enter the light-emitting element 30 through the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, avoiding the problem of the light-emitting panel being broken due to water mist backflow, and improving the user experience.

[0063] In practical applications, injection molding, also known as injection molding, is a molding method that combines injection and molding. Injection molding offers numerous advantages, including high production speed and efficiency, simple operation with automation capabilities, a wide variety of colors and shapes (from simple to complex), sizes ranging from large to small, precise product dimensions, ease of product updates, and the ability to produce complex shapes. Therefore, in this embodiment, the protective cover 40 and the support 20 are formed using an integrated injection molding process. This allows the protective cover 40 to be easily and quickly fixedly connected to the support 20, while also ensuring precise manufacturing and lower cost, thus reducing the cost of the humidification component 1.

[0064] Optionally, the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are integrally thermoformed structures.

[0065] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, specifically, both the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are plastic parts. During the injection molding process, the protective cover 40 is first placed in the mold of the protective cover 40, and the bracket 20 is placed in the mold of the bracket 20. The protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are formed by injection molding respectively. Then, the already injection-molded protective cover 40 and bracket 20 are placed together in a hot press mold. After heating the hot press mold, plastic is injected. The protective cover 40 and bracket 20 are fixed in the hot press mold by pressure. The melting temperature and time of the plastic are controlled so that the plastic hardens after melting, and the hot press structure forms an integral structure. This makes the connection between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 more stable and improves the sealing performance of the humidification component 1. The light-emitting element 30 is located between the integrally molded structure of the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20. Water mist cannot enter the light-emitting element 30 through the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, avoiding the problem of the light-emitting panel being broken due to water mist backflow and improving the user experience.

[0066] In specific applications, hot pressing is the simplest and most common processing method for plastics. Therefore, in this embodiment, the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are formed as an integral structure by the integrated hot pressing molding process, which makes it easier and faster to fix the protective cover 40 to the bracket 20, resulting in lower cost and further reducing the cost of the humidification component 1.

[0067] Optionally, the bracket 20 is a heat-resistant plastic bracket 20, and the protective cover 40 is a transparent plastic protective cover 40.

[0068] Reference Figure 5 The diagram shows a structural schematic of a protective cover 40 for a humidification assembly 1 according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 6The diagram shows a structural schematic of a bracket 20 for a humidification component 1 according to an embodiment of this application. Specifically, the bracket 20 is a heat-resistant plastic bracket 20. Since the humidification component 1 is applied to the baseboard heater 2, and the baseboard heater 2 generates heat itself to provide warmth, the heat-resistant plastic bracket 20 prevents damage to the bracket 20 due to excessively high temperature of the baseboard heater 2 when it comes into contact with the baseboard heater 2, thus avoiding damage to the humidification component 1.

[0069] The protective cover 40 is a transparent plastic protective cover 40. The transparent plastic protective cover 40 allows the light emitted by the light-emitting element 30 to pass through the protective cover 40 and cooperate with the water mist generated by the humidifier body 10. When the light shines on the mist, the Tyndall effect is generated, making the color of the water mist look like a flame. This enables the humidification component 1 to have the function of forming a simulated flame, further improving the user experience.

[0070] In practical applications, since the bracket 20 is a heat-resistant plastic bracket 20 and the protective cover 40 is a transparent plastic protective cover 40, the bracket 20 can be integrally molded by injection molding, and the protective cover 40 can also be integrally molded by injection molding. Further injection molding or hot pressing processes can make the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 a single-piece structure, resulting in a more stable connection between them and improving the sealing performance of the humidification component 1. The light-emitting element 30 is located between the integrally molded structures of the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, preventing water mist from entering the light-emitting element 30 through the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20. This avoids the problem of water mist backflow causing a circuit break in the light-emitting panel, improving the user experience. Furthermore, it also simplifies and simplifies the manufacturing process of the bracket 20 and the protective cover 40.

[0071] Reference Figure 7 The diagram shows a schematic representation of the light-emitting element 30 of a humidification assembly 1 according to an embodiment of this application. Optionally, the light-emitting element 30 is a light-emitting plate, which is snapped onto the bracket 20.

[0072] Specifically, the light-emitting element 30 is a light-emitting plate with a plate-like structure. The light-emitting plate can be connected to an external power source by wires, so that the light-emitting element 30 can emit light and form a simulated flame with the water mist generated by the humidifier body 10, thereby enhancing the user experience.

[0073] Furthermore, the light-emitting panel can be a light-emitting diode, also known as an LED light-emitting panel. A light-emitting diode is a commonly used light-emitting device that releases energy through the recombination of electrons and holes, and is widely used in the lighting field. Light-emitting diodes can efficiently convert electrical energy into light energy, effectively emitting light and forming simulated flames with water mist to enhance the customer experience. Furthermore, by using LED light-emitting panels, which are relatively common and inexpensive, the cost of the humidification component 1 can be further reduced.

[0074] In practical applications, the light-emitting panel is snapped onto the bracket 20. Since snapping is a relatively convenient installation method, the operator only needs to snap the light-emitting panel onto the bracket 20, which makes the installation of the light-emitting panel simpler and more convenient, reduces the difficulty of operation for the operator, reduces the workload of the operator, and improves the work efficiency of the operator.

[0075] Optionally, the bracket 20 is provided with at least one of the buckles or slots 301 at intervals on the side near the light-emitting plate, and the light-emitting plate is provided with at least one of the buckles or slots 301 at intervals, wherein the buckle is engaged in the slot 301.

[0076] like Figure 6 As shown, specifically, the bracket 20 may have at least one buckle spaced apart, and the light-emitting plate may have at least one slot 301 spaced apart. Alternatively, the light-emitting plate may have at least one buckle spaced apart, and the bracket 20 may have at least one slot 301 spaced apart. By fastening the buckle into the slot 301, the light-emitting element 30 can be snapped onto the bracket 20. Thus, the light-emitting plate can be snapped onto the bracket 20 simply by using the buckle or slot 301 on the bracket 20 and the light-emitting plate, without the need for additional fasteners, making the method of snapping the light-emitting plate onto the bracket 20 much simpler.

[0077] For example, the number of buckles or slots 301 can be 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. The number of buckles and slots 301 can be specifically set according to actual needs. This application embodiment does not specifically limit the actual number of buckles and slots 301.

[0078] It should be noted that, Figure 7 The above is just a schematic diagram of one structure of the light-emitting plate with a slot 301. According to the above embodiment, the light-emitting plate may also have a buckle. The specific structure and shape of the buckle can be changed according to the structure of the slot 301, as long as the buckle can be locked in the slot 301. The embodiments of this application do not specifically limit the structure of the buckle and the slot 301.

[0079] Optionally, the light-emitting element 30 is a light-emitting plate, and the protective cover 40 includes a horizontal part 401 and an extension part 402 connected to the horizontal part 401. The horizontal part 401 covers the light-emitting plate, and the light-emitting plate is snapped between the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20; the extension part 402 is embedded in the bracket 20.

[0080] like Figure 5 As shown, the protective cover 40 includes a horizontal portion 401 and an extension portion 402. The horizontal portion 401 extends in a horizontal direction to form a flat plate in the horizontal direction, which covers the light-emitting plate. The extension portion 402 extends in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction to form a flat plate in the direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The bracket 20 is provided with a mounting groove, and the flat plate is integrally embedded in the mounting groove on the bracket 20. During the integral molding process of the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, the horizontal portion 401 abuts against the outside of the bracket 20, and the extension portion 402 is embedded in the mounting groove. The horizontal portion 401 and the extension portion 402 are fixedly installed on the bracket 20 through integral injection molding and integral hot pressing molding processes.

[0081] The extension 402 is provided with a recessed portion and a protruding portion. The protruding portion protrudes away from the bracket 20 in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, a certain distance away from the edge of the extension 402. The recessed portion is recessed towards the bracket 20 in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction, a certain distance away from the edge of the extension 402. Corresponding to the recessed portion and the protruding portion, the bracket 20 is provided with corresponding protruding and recessed parts. The protruding part and the recessed part are adapted to each other. When the injection molding process is performed, the protruding part on the bracket 20 can extend into the recessed portion, and the protruding part on the bracket 20 can extend into the recessed portion to achieve fixation during the injection molding process.

[0082] Specifically, the bracket 20 and the horizontal plate are integrally injection molded, so that the horizontal plate and the bracket 20 are combined to form the mounting part. The light-emitting plate is snapped between the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20, so there is no need to set additional fasteners or set fasteners on the light-emitting plate. By having the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20 jointly snap the light-emitting plate, the installation method of the light-emitting component 30 can be further simplified, reducing the cost of the humidification assembly 1. Furthermore, by having the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20 jointly snap the light-emitting plate, the light-emitting plate can be fixed from two directions, making the mounting plate more stably connected to the bracket 20, improving the reliability of the connection of the humidification assembly 1, and further improving the sealing performance of the humidification assembly 1.

[0083] It should be noted that the horizontal part 401 can be a horizontal plate structure extending in the horizontal direction, or it can be an inclined plate structure extending in the horizontal direction but having an angle with the horizontal direction. The name horizontal part 401 is only to distinguish the horizontal part 401 from the extension part 402, and does not limit the horizontal part 401 to only a horizontal plate extending in the horizontal direction. It can be arbitrarily selected according to the actual situation. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations in this regard.

[0084] In practical applications, by setting the horizontal part 401, the horizontal plate covers the light-emitting element 30. The light-emitting element 30 is located between the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20, which are integrally molded. Water mist cannot enter the light-emitting element 30 through the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20, thus avoiding the problem of light mist backflow causing the light-emitting plate to break the circuit and improving the user experience. The extension part 402 is completely embedded inside the mounting groove of the bracket 20, which can improve the reliability of the connection between the bracket 20 and the protective cover 40 during injection molding, further improving the sealing performance of the humidification assembly 1. This prevents water mist from entering the light-emitting element 30 through the extension part 402 and the bracket 20, avoiding the problem of water mist backflow causing the light-emitting plate to break the circuit and improving the user experience. By having the horizontal part 401 and the bracket 20 jointly engage the light-emitting plate, the light-emitting plate can be fixed from two directions, making the mounting plate more stably connected to the bracket 20, improving the reliability of the connection of the humidification assembly 1 and further improving the sealing performance of the humidification assembly 1.

[0085] Optionally, the horizontal portion 401 is provided with a plurality of first latching portions 403 on the side near the light-emitting plate. Corresponding to the position of the first latching portions 403, the bracket 20 is provided with a plurality of second latching portions 201 on the side near the light-emitting plate. The light-emitting plate is latched between the plurality of first latching portions 403 and the plurality of second latching portions 201.

[0086] Reference Figure 5 The horizontal portion 401 is provided with a plurality of first latching portions 403 at intervals on the side near the light-emitting plate. The first latching portion 403 is a latching post and protrudes from the horizontal portion 401 in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The plurality of first latching portions 403 can be evenly arranged on the horizontal portion 401 at a certain distance, or they can be unevenly arranged on the horizontal portion 401. The specific arrangement of the plurality of first latching portions 403 can be specifically set according to the actual situation. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0087] Reference Figure 6The bracket 20 is provided with a plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 201 at intervals on the side near the light-emitting plate. The second snap-fit ​​portion 201 is a snap-fit ​​post and protrudes from the bracket 20 in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal direction. The plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 201 can be evenly arranged on the bracket 20 at a certain distance or unevenly arranged on the bracket 20. The specific arrangement of the plurality of second snap-fit ​​portions 201 can be specifically set according to the actual situation. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0088] After the bracket 20 and the protective cover 40 form an integral structure, the first latching part 403 and the second latching part 201 are arranged opposite to each other, and there is a gap between the first latching part 403 and the second latching part 201. This gap is adapted to the thickness of the light-emitting plate. Multiple first latching parts 403 and second latching parts 201 can be arranged symmetrically or asymmetrically. When multiple first latching parts 403 and multiple second latching parts 201 are arranged symmetrically, one first latching part 403 and one second latching part 201 are... A set of first latching parts 403 and second latching parts 201 are symmetrically arranged on the bracket 20 and the protective cover 40. There is a gap between each pair of first latching parts 403 and second latching parts 201 that is adapted to the thickness of the light-emitting plate. When multiple first latching parts 403 and multiple second latching parts 201 are arranged asymmetrically, one first latching part 403 and one second latching part 201 form a set, which are staggered on the bracket 20 and the protective cover 40. There is a gap between each pair of first latching parts 403 and second latching parts 201 that is adapted to the thickness of the light-emitting plate. In practical applications, by snapping the light-emitting panel into the gap between the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 201, the light-emitting panel is fixedly installed between the bracket 20 and the protective plate, thus eliminating the need for additional fasteners and snap-fit ​​parts on the light-emitting panel. The joint snap-fit ​​of the light-emitting panel by the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 201 further simplifies the installation of the light-emitting component 30, reduces the cost of the humidification assembly 1, and allows for fixing the light-emitting panel from multiple locations via multiple first snap-fit ​​parts 403 and multiple second snap-fit ​​parts 201. This results in a more stable connection of the light-emitting component 30 to the bracket 20, improving the reliability of the humidification assembly 1 connection, further enhancing the sealing performance of the humidification assembly 1, preventing water mist from entering the light-emitting panel through the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, avoiding the problem of water mist backflow causing a circuit break in the light-emitting panel, and improving the user experience.

[0089] Optionally, there are at least two light-emitting panels, and at least two light-emitting panels are snapped between the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 201.

[0090] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7The bracket 20 can be a circular structure, and the protective cover 40 can also be a corresponding circular structure. The bracket 20 and protective cover 40 are both adaptable circular structures. The light-emitting plate should also be a ring-shaped structure. However, since the bracket 20 and protective cover 40 are integrally molded in this embodiment, if the light-emitting plate is a single ring-shaped component, it may need to be installed on the bracket 20 and protective cover 40 during an integral injection molding or hot pressing process. During this process, plastic may flow into the light-emitting plate through gaps, and after cooling and hardening, it may form an obstruction on the light-emitting plate, affecting the light emitted and causing a lack of light. This affects the simulated flame formed by the water mist from the light-emitting plate and the humidifier body 10. When installing a ring-shaped light-emitting plate after the protective cover 40 and bracket 20 are integrally molded, the light-emitting plate may be pulled during installation, causing damage. Furthermore, the process of engaging the ring-shaped light-emitting plate between the first engaging part 403 and the second engaging part 201 is relatively complex. In this embodiment, there can be at least two light-emitting panels. After the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 are integrally formed, at least two light-emitting panels are respectively snapped between the first snap-fit ​​part 403 and the second snap-fit ​​part 201. Each light-emitting panel is connected to a power supply through an external wire, so that each light-emitting panel emits light. This makes the installation process of the light-emitting panels more convenient, reduces the operational difficulty of the installation process, and improves the work efficiency of the operator.

[0091] For example, there can be 2, 3, 4, etc. of light-emitting panels.

[0092] Reference Figure 7 As a preferred option, there can be two light-emitting panels, which are semi-circular in shape and together form a ring. It is understood that there can be multiple light-emitting panels, but too many light-emitting panels will increase the cost of humidification component 1. In addition, multiple light-emitting panels require multiple installations, which increases the time required for the installation process. Therefore, setting two light-emitting panels can avoid the problems that may be caused by a single light-emitting panel as analyzed above, as well as the cost and installation problems caused by a large number of light-emitting panels. This further reduces the cost of humidification component 1 and improves the work efficiency of the operator.

[0093] Reference Figure 8 The diagram shows a schematic of the structure of a light-shielding member 50 of a humidifying component 1 according to an embodiment of this application; optionally, the humidifying component 1 further includes: a light-shielding member 50, the light-shielding member 50 being connected to the side of the bracket 20 away from the protective cover 40, the light-shielding member 50 being used to block the light emitted by the light-emitting member 30 on the side of the bracket 20 away from the protective cover 40.

[0094] likeFigure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the light-shielding component 50 is fixedly connected to the side facing away from the protective cover 40. When the light-emitting component 30 is mounted on the bracket 20, there is a gap between the bracket 20 and the connection point of the light-emitting component 30 on the side facing away from the protective cover 40. During the process of the light-emitting component 30 emitting light, light is emitted not only from the protective cover 40 but also from this gap. The light leaking out through this gap will prevent the light from being concentrated and emitted through the protective cover 40, making it difficult for the light from the light-emitting component 30 to better cooperate with the water mist generated by the humidifier body 10 to produce a simulated flame effect. In practical applications, by using the light-shielding component 50 to block the light emitted by the light-emitting component 30 on the side of the bracket 20 facing away from the protective cover 40, the light is concentrated and emitted through the protective cover 40, cooperating with the water mist of the humidifier body 10 to produce a simulated flame effect, reducing the lack of light and further improving the user experience.

[0095] picture Figure 8 As shown, optionally, the light-shielding element 50 is a light-shielding sponge, which is attached to the bracket 20.

[0096] Specifically, the light-blocking sponge is typically a high-density, dark-colored sponge with adhesive backing, allowing it to be attached to the bracket 20. The light-blocking sponge usually possesses excellent light absorption properties, effectively absorbing scattered and stray light, reducing interference caused by light reflection. It can completely block the light emitted by the light-emitting element 30 on the side of the bracket 20 away from the protective cover 40, concentrating the light emitted through the protective cover 40. This, combined with the water mist from the humidifier body 10, creates a simulated flame effect, enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the light-blocking sponge is not easily worn or deformed with long-term use, maintaining its excellent light absorption effect and being easy to clean and maintain. When the humidifying component 1 is connected to the baseboard heater 2, the light-blocking sponge maintains stable physical properties, and its performance will not be affected by temperature changes or the generation of harmful substances. The light-blocking sponge is mostly made of environmentally friendly materials, harmless to the human body during use, and biodegradable or recyclable after disposal, thus improving the safety and environmental friendliness of the humidifying component 1. Depending on the actual application requirements, users can cut the light-blocking sponge according to its specific shape and size, and stick it to the required position, thus making the installation process of the light-blocking sponge on the bracket 20 simpler.

[0097] Reference Figure 9 This document shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a water tank assembly 60 of a humidification component 1 according to an embodiment of this application. (Refer to...) Figure 10The diagram shows a schematic of the structure of an atomizer 70 of a humidification assembly 1 according to an embodiment of this application. Optionally, the humidifier body 10 includes a water tank assembly 60 and an atomizer 70; the bracket 20 is connected to the water tank assembly 60; the water tank assembly 60 is provided with a receiving cavity 601 for containing water; the atomizer 70 is connected to the water tank assembly 60 and communicates with the receiving cavity 601, and the atomizer 70 is used to atomize the water in the receiving cavity 601.

[0098] like Figures 1-3 , Figures 9-10 As shown, the humidifier body 10 may include a water tank assembly 60 and an atomizer 70. The water tank assembly 60 stores water, and the atomizer 70 atomizes the water in the tank, turning the liquid water into water mist. A gap exists between the water tank assembly 60 and the support 20 near the light-emitting element 30. The water mist is conducted through this gap to the outside of the humidifier assembly 1. The water mist serves two purposes: firstly, it makes the air outside the humidifier more humid, thus enabling the humidifier assembly 1 to have a humidification function; secondly, the light-emitting element 30 emits light, and the water mist, combined with the light emitted by the light-emitting element 30, creates a Tyndall effect when the light shines on the mist, making the color of the water mist appear like a flame, thus enabling the humidifier assembly 1 to create a simulated flame. This makes the humidifier assembly 1 more functional and improves the user experience.

[0099] Specifically, the atomizer 70 can employ an ultrasonic atomizer. Ultrasonic atomizers utilize high-frequency electronic oscillations, and through the high-frequency resonance of the atomizing plate, break down the liquid water molecule structure to produce a naturally drifting water mist, requiring no heating or the addition of any chemical reagents. Compared to heated atomization methods, this saves energy. Furthermore, the atomization process releases a large number of fine water droplets, which adsorb and combine with airborne smoke, dust, and other particles, causing them to settle and purifying the air, thus reducing the occurrence of diseases. The atomizing plate, as the core component of ultrasonic atomization technology, can efficiently atomize water, rapidly converting water or other liquids into micron- or even nano-sized particles, increasing the surface area of ​​the liquid and making it more efficient in applications such as humidification. The generated mist is evenly distributed, ensuring an ideal environmental effect in humidification applications. Ultrasonic atomization does not involve heating, therefore it does not change the chemical properties of the liquid. Compared to other types of atomization methods, ultrasonic atomizers operate more quietly, making them suitable for homes, offices, and other environments requiring a quiet environment. Most atomizing plates are designed for easy disassembly and cleaning, helping to extend the overall lifespan of the atomizer 70.

[0100] The specific structure and composition of the atomizer 70 can be selected according to the actual situation, and the embodiments of this application do not impose specific limitations on it.

[0101] Optionally, the water tank assembly 60 includes a water tank 602 and a water trough 603; the bracket 20 is fixedly connected to the water trough 603; the water trough 603 is provided with a receiving cavity 601, the water tank 602 is located inside the receiving cavity 601 and at least partially protrudes from the receiving cavity 601, the water tank 602 is used to store water; the portion of the water tank 602 located in the receiving cavity 601 is fixedly connected to the water trough 603 and communicates with the receiving cavity 601, so that water in the water tank 602 flows into the receiving cavity 601; the atomizer 70 is connected to the water trough 603, and there is a gap between the portion of the water tank 602 protruding from the receiving cavity 601 and the bracket 20, the gap being used to allow the water vapor atomized by the atomizer 70 to flow out from the receiving cavity 601.

[0102] like Figures 1-3 , Figures 9-10 As shown, the water tank assembly 60 includes a water tank 603 and a water tank 602. The water tank 603 is made of heat-resistant plastic, while the water tank 602 can be made of transparent plastic or not. The water tank 602 is a water storage container that holds the water to be atomized. Users can pre-add an appropriate amount of water according to their humidification needs. The size of the water tank 602 directly affects the continuous working time of the humidifier. The water in the water tank 602 is drawn in by the atomizer 70, which converts the water into tiny water droplets through vibration and releases them into the air, increasing the ambient humidity. The water tank 603 and the water tank 602 are detachably connected by a water tank nut, making it easy to remove the water tank 602 from the water tank 603. This facilitates regular cleaning by the user, preventing scale buildup and bacterial growth, and ensuring that the atomized water vapor is clean and hygienic.

[0103] A valve is provided on the bottom wall of the water tank 603, and a through hole is provided on the water tank 602. The water tank 602 and the water tank 603 are connected through the through hole. The valve is located in the through hole. The valve can block or open the through hole. When the valve opens the through hole, the water in the water tank 602 flows into the water tank 603 through the through hole and is atomized by the atomizer 70. When the valve blocks the through hole, the water in the water tank 602 cannot flow into the water tank 603 through the through hole, and the atomizer 70 cannot atomize the water.

[0104] The bracket 20 abuts against the edge of the water tank 602 with a gap, allowing the water vapor atomized by the atomizer 70 to flow out from the receiving cavity 601. The water vapor, combined with the light emitted by the light-emitting element 30, creates a Tyndall effect, making the water vapor appear like a flame, thus enabling the humidifying component 1 to simulate a flame. This makes the humidifying component 1 more functional and improves the user experience.

[0105] like Figures 1-3 , Figures 9-10As shown, optionally, the water tank assembly 60 includes a water tank cover 604; the water tank cover 604 covers the portion of the water tank 602 that protrudes from the receiving cavity 601 to protect the water in the water tank 602.

[0106] Specifically, the water tank cap 604 is installed on the portion of the water tank that protrudes from the tank. The cap ensures the water tank is sealed, preventing water from splashing out during humidification or transport, and keeping the operating environment dry. The sealed cap also prevents dust and impurities from entering the water tank 602, reducing water pollution and maintaining water quality, thus ensuring spray quality. Furthermore, the cap provides some safety protection, preventing accidental contact with water or steam.

[0107] In summary, the humidification component 1 provided in this application embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0108] In this embodiment, by making the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 an integrally formed structure, the connection between the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20 is more stable, improving the sealing performance of the humidification component 1. The light-emitting element 30 is located between the integrally formed structure of the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, preventing water mist from entering the light-emitting element 30 through the protective cover 40 and the bracket 20, thus avoiding the problem of the light-emitting panel being broken due to water mist backflow, improving the user experience, eliminating the glue tank structure, eliminating the need for the operator to inject glue through a syringe, reducing the operator's operating difficulty, reducing the operator's workload, and improving the operator's work efficiency.

[0109] Secondly, this application also discloses a baseboard heater 2, which includes the humidification component 1 described in any of the above claims.

[0110] Reference Figure 11 This shows one of the structural schematic diagrams of a skirting board heater 2 according to an embodiment of this application; see reference Figure 12 This shows a second schematic diagram of the structure of a skirting board heater 2 according to an embodiment of this application;

[0111] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the skirting board heater 2 includes a humidifying component 1, which is fixedly connected to one end of the skirting board heater 2, enabling the skirting board heater 2 to have the functions of heating, humidifying and forming a simulated flame.

[0112] Specifically, the baseboard heater 2, also known as a pedestal heater, is a compact heating device designed to fit snugly against the wall. In addition to the humidifying component 1 mentioned above, its structure may include the following main parts: Outer shell: typically made of durable metal (such as aluminum or stainless steel) or high-temperature resistant plastic, designed in a flat, elongated shape to fit snugly against the baseboard, saving space and maintaining aesthetics. Heating element: containing an electric heating wire or ceramic heating element, this is the core heating component, responsible for converting electrical energy into heat energy. Heat dissipation structure: utilizing the principle of natural convection, heat is dissipated into the room air through the vents on the top and front panel of the heater. This causes cool air to sink and rise upon contact with the heating element, creating circulation and raising the temperature of the entire room. Temperature control system: many baseboard heaters 2 are equipped with a thermostat or constant temperature device. Users can set a target temperature; when the room temperature reaches the preset value, the heater will automatically adjust its power or shut off to maintain a stable room temperature and save energy. Safety Features: To ensure safe use, baseboard heaters typically include built-in overheat protection and tip-over power-off switches. These features quickly cut off power in case of abnormally high temperatures or accidental tipping, preventing fires and other safety hazards. Power Cord and Plug: Provides electrical input with a safety-standard power cord and plug design to ensure electrical safety during use. Mobility: Some baseboard heaters are equipped with casters or handles at the bottom for easy movement between rooms.

[0113] Baseboard heaters typically use natural convection heating, eliminating the need for a fan and making them more energy-efficient than traditional electric heaters. They boast high thermal efficiency, quickly and evenly warming the entire room. The absence of a fan means virtually silent operation, creating a quiet and comfortable living environment. Furthermore, most baseboard heaters are equipped with overheat protection and automatic power-off function upon tipping, ensuring safe and reliable use. Installed flush against the wall, they don't take up valuable indoor space, making them especially suitable for small apartments or spaces requiring flexible layouts. Unlike fan heaters that stir up dust, baseboard heaters use natural convection, reducing airborne dust disturbance and making them more suitable for allergy sufferers. High-quality materials and construction ensure long-term stability and durability, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.

[0114] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the humidification component 1 is the same as that of the humidification component 1 described in any of the above embodiments, and its beneficial effects are also similar, so it will not be described in detail here.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0116] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
