Description

[0001] This application claims priority to patent application No. 202322295472.1, filed on August 25, 2023, entitled "Humidifying Components and Air Purification Equipment", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of air handling equipment technology, specifically to a humidification component, a water tank, and an air purification device. Background Technology

[0003] Currently, in related technologies, humidifiers are equipped with a water tank with a transparent window. Users can observe the water level through this window, but this requires the user to be directly facing the window, making it difficult to check the water level. Making the entire water tank transparent would expose the internal components, reducing the overall neatness of the humidifier's appearance. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art or related art.

[0005] Therefore, a first aspect of the present invention provides a humidification component.

[0006] A second aspect of the present invention provides a water tank.

[0007] A third aspect of the invention provides another humidification component.

[0008] A fourth aspect of the present invention provides an air purification device.

[0009] In view of this, the first aspect of the present invention provides a humidification assembly including a first housing, a second housing, and a humidification component. The first housing includes a first wall and a second wall, the first wall being connected to the second wall and arranged along the outer periphery of the second wall. At least a portion of the first wall is light-transmitting, and the light-transmitting portion of the first wall surrounds the second wall. The second housing is disposed inside the first housing and arranged along the first wall. The second housing and the first wall enclose a first cavity, and the second housing and the second wall enclose a second cavity. The humidification component is disposed within the second cavity. The second cavity is capable of containing liquid, and the first cavity and the second cavity are in communication, allowing liquid in the second cavity to enter the first cavity.

[0010] The humidification component proposed in this invention, by incorporating a sandwich structure, allows light transmission to at least a portion of the first wall of the first housing located on the outer side of the sandwich portion. The light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall surrounds the second wall, thereby freeing the user from the constraints imposed by the viewing window when observing the liquid level. This simplifies and facilitates the observation of the liquid level within the second chamber, making the observation more intuitive and improving the user experience. Furthermore, the second housing prevents the internal components of the humidification component from being exposed, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0011] According to a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a water tank, the water tank comprising a first shell and a second shell, the first shell comprising a circumferentially arranged light-transmitting portion; the second shell being disposed inside the first shell and covering the light-transmitting portion, the second shell separating the first shell into a first cavity and a second cavity; the first cavity being located between the second shell and the first shell; the second cavity being located inside the second shell; the first cavity and the second cavity communicating with each other.

[0012] In this technical solution, the present invention proposes a water tank, which includes a first shell and a second shell. The first shell includes a circumferentially arranged light-transmitting part, which allows light to pass through, that is, light shining from one side of the first shell onto the light-transmitting part can pass through the light-transmitting part and reach the other side of the first shell.

[0013] The first chamber is connected to the second chamber, allowing liquid in the second chamber to enter the first chamber. The liquid levels in both chambers remain equal, thus the liquid level in the first chamber reflects the liquid level in the second chamber. When observing the liquid level in the tank, the user only needs to observe the liquid level in the first chamber through the light-transmitting part of the first shell to accurately determine the liquid level in the second chamber and the remaining liquid level in the tank suitable for humidifying the air. Since the light-transmitting parts are distributed at least in two positions on the circumference of the first wall facing different directions, the user can easily observe the liquid level in the second chamber by looking at the light-transmitting parts from different angles on the first wall.

[0014] According to a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a humidification assembly, comprising: a water tank, a first housing, a second housing, and a humidification component as described in any of the above technical solutions; the first housing includes a first wall and a second wall, the first wall being connected to the second wall; the first wall includes a light-transmitting portion, the light-transmitting portion being distributed at least at two positions circumferentially facing different directions; the second housing is disposed inside the first housing, covering the light-transmitting portion; the second housing and the first wall surround a first cavity, and the second housing and the second wall surround a second cavity; the humidification component is disposed within the second cavity; wherein the second cavity is capable of containing liquid, the first cavity is in communication with the second cavity, and the liquid within the second cavity can enter the first cavity.

[0015] The humidification component proposed in this invention, by incorporating a sandwich structure, and having a light-transmitting portion on the first wall of the outermost shell within the sandwich structure, with the light-transmitting portion distributed at least at two locations circumferentially facing different directions on the first wall, frees the user from the constraints of a viewing window when observing the liquid level. This allows for multi-directional and multi-angle observation of the liquid level in the second chamber, making the process of observing the liquid level in the second chamber simple, convenient, and more intuitive, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the second shell prevents the internal components of the humidification component from being exposed, resulting in a cleaner appearance for the humidification component.

[0016] According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, an air purification device is provided, comprising a humidification component as described in any of the above-described technical solutions.

[0017] The air purification device provided by the fourth aspect of the present invention, having included the humidification component as described in any of the above technical solutions, thus possesses all the beneficial effects of the humidification component in any of the above technical solutions.

[0018] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0046] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0047] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and therefore the scope of protection of the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0048] The following reference Figures 1 to 24 The humidification assembly 102, water tank 104, and air purification device 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.

[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, a water tank 104 is provided. The water tank 104 includes a first shell 110 and a second shell 120. The first shell 110 includes a light-transmitting portion arranged circumferentially. The second shell 120 is disposed inside the first shell 110 and covers the light-transmitting portion. The second shell 120 divides the first shell 110 into a first cavity 130 and a second cavity 140. The first cavity 130 is located between the second shell 120 and the first shell 110. The second cavity 140 is located inside the second shell 120. The first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 are in communication.

[0050] In this embodiment, the present invention proposes a water tank 104, which includes a first shell 110 and a second shell 120. The first shell 110 includes a light-transmitting part arranged in a circumferential direction, through which light can pass.

[0051] The second housing 120 is disposed inside the first housing 110 and covers the light-transmitting part. The second housing 120 divides the first housing 110 into a first cavity 130 and a second cavity 140. The first cavity 130 is located between the second housing 120 and the first housing 110, and the second cavity 140 is located inside the second housing 120. The first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 are in communication.

[0052] The second chamber 140 serves as the main liquid storage chamber of the water tank 104, and the liquid inside the second chamber 140 is used by the water tank 104 to humidify the air. The first chamber 130 is used by the user to observe the liquid level in the second chamber 140 within the water tank 104.

[0053] Specifically, the first cavity 130 is connected to the second cavity 140, and the liquid in the second cavity 140 can enter the first cavity 130. The liquid levels in the two cavities will remain at the same level, and thus the liquid level in the first cavity 130 will reflect the liquid level in the second cavity 140. When observing the liquid level in the water tank 104, the user only needs to observe the liquid level in the first cavity 130 through the light-transmitting part of the first housing 110 to accurately obtain the liquid level in the second cavity 140, and thus obtain the remaining liquid level in the water tank 104 that can be used for air humidification. Since the light-transmitting parts are distributed at least in two positions on the first wall 112 facing upwards in different directions, the user does not need to be in a position directly opposite the transparent window to observe the water level, making it easier for the user to view the liquid level in the second cavity 140.

[0054] Furthermore, this invention utilizes the liquid level value of the first cavity 130 to reflect the liquid level value of the second cavity 140. A second housing 120 is provided between the second cavity 140 and the first housing 110. This allows the user to observe the liquid level through the light-transmitting part, while the second housing 120 can also shield the components inside the second cavity 140, preventing the components inside the water tank 104 from being exposed. This also shields the humidification components, such as the wet curtain, inside the water tank 104. The user will not see the wet curtain when using the water tank, avoiding the visual appearance of the wet curtain being broken due to light refraction, thus making the appearance of the water tank 104 more tidy.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the first housing 110 also includes a circumferentially arranged light-shielding part 310. Along the height direction of the water tank 104, the light-transmitting part is located below the light-shielding part 310; the light transmittance of the light-transmitting part is greater than the light transmittance of the light-shielding part 310.

[0056] In this embodiment, the first housing 110 further includes a circumferentially arranged light-shielding part 310, which can play a blocking role in the circumferential direction of the first housing 110.

[0057] The first wall 112 includes a light-shielding part 310 and a light-transmitting part in the height direction. The light transmittance of the light-transmitting part is greater than that of the light-shielding part 310, which reduces the exposed area inside the water tank 104 and further improves the cleanliness of the appearance of the water tank 104.

[0058] The light transmittance of the light-transmitting part is greater than that of the light-shielding part 310, which allows users to observe the liquid level from multiple angles through the light-transmitting part without having to be in a position directly opposite the transparent window to observe the water level. At the same time, it also avoids the internal components of the water tank 104 from being exposed, making the appearance of the water tank 104 more tidy.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the first housing 110 further includes: a transition portion 330, the first side of which is connected to the light-shielding portion 310, and the second side of which is connected to the light-transmitting portion; wherein the light transmittance of the transition portion 330 increases from the first side of the transition portion 330 to the second side of the transition portion 330; and / or the light transmittance of the second housing 120 is less than the light transmittance of the light-transmitting portion.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first housing 110 further includes a transition portion 330. The first side of the transition portion 330 is connected to the light-shielding portion 310, and the second side of the transition portion 330 is connected to the light-transmitting portion. The present invention sets the light transmittance of the light-transmitting portion and the second housing 120 so that the change in light transmittance between the light-shielding portion 310 and the light-transmitting portion is smoother, reducing the abruptness caused by the change in light transmittance of the first wall 112, and further improving the overall consistency of the appearance of the water tank 104.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the first housing 110 is provided with a scale 340, which is located in the light-transmitting part.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first housing 110 is provided with a scale 340, which is located in the light-transmitting part. The user can determine the specific liquid level in the first cavity 130 through the scale 340, thereby enabling the user to replenish the liquid in the first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 more timely according to the liquid level.

[0063] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the second housing 120 is provided with a first communication port on the side near the bottom wall of the first housing 110, and the first cavity 130 is connected to the second cavity 140 through the first communication port.

[0064] In this embodiment, a first communication port is provided on the side of the second housing near the first wall 112. The first cavity 130 is connected to the second cavity 140 through the first communication port, and the liquid in the second cavity 140 can enter the first cavity 130 through the first communication port.

[0065] The present invention provides a first connecting port on the side of the second housing 120 near the bottom wall of the first housing 110. The first connecting port is low in height and close to the first wall 112, so that water in the second cavity 140 can flow into the first cavity 130 in a timely manner. Even when the water level in the second cavity 140 is low, water in the second cavity 140 can still flow into the first cavity 130 through the first connecting port at a lower position, avoiding water residue in the second cavity 140, reducing the difficulty of liquid flow between the second cavity 140 and the first cavity 130, ensuring the liquid level balance between the second cavity 140 and the first cavity 130, and making the water level feedback of the first cavity 130 to the second cavity 140 more accurate.

[0066] In summary, this invention utilizes the first connecting port to connect the two cavities. The liquid level in the first cavity 130 can reflect the liquid level in the second cavity 140. Thus, by observing the liquid level in the first cavity 130 through the first wall 112 of the first housing 110, the liquid level in the second cavity 140 can be accurately obtained without disassembling the humidification component 102 to check the liquid level, making liquid level observation more intuitive and convenient.

[0067] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, either the second housing 120 or the first housing 110 is provided with a third cavity 124 communicating with the second cavity 140. The water tank 104 also includes a float 154 and a first detection component 204. The float 154 is disposed inside the third cavity 124; the first detection component 204 is disposed on the outer wall of the first housing 110, opposite to the third cavity 124; wherein, when the float 154 is connected to the first detection component 204, the first detection component 204 outputs a water shortage signal.

[0068] In this embodiment, either the second housing 120 or the first housing 110 is provided with a third cavity 124 that communicates with the second cavity 140. The water tank 104 also includes a float 154 and a first detection component 204. The float 154 is disposed in the third cavity 124, and the third cavity 124 can communicate with the second cavity 140. The float 154 and the first detection component 204 cooperate to output water shortage information so that the operator can be aware of the working status of the water tank 104.

[0069] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, a humidification assembly 102 is proposed. This humidification assembly 102 includes: a water tank 104 as described in any of the above embodiments, a first housing 110, a second housing 120, and a humidification component 156. The first housing 110 includes a first wall 112 and a second wall 114, which are connected. The first wall 112 includes a light-transmitting portion, which is distributed at least at two positions circumferentially facing different directions. The second housing 120 is disposed inside the first housing 110 and covers the light-transmitting portion. The second housing 120 and the first wall 112 surround a first cavity 130, and the second housing 120 and the second wall 114 surround a second cavity 140. The humidification component 156 is disposed inside the second cavity 140. The second cavity 140 is capable of containing liquid, and the first cavity 130 is in communication with the second cavity 140, allowing the liquid in the second cavity 140 to enter the first cavity 130.

[0070] In this embodiment, the humidification component 102 proposed by the present invention specifically includes a water tank 104, a first housing 110 and a second housing 120 as in any of the above embodiments. The first housing 110 includes a first wall 112 and a second wall 114. The two wall structures of the first wall 112 and the second wall 114 are connected, and the first wall 112 is arranged along the outer periphery of the second wall 114. Specifically, in the first housing 110, the first wall 112 is arranged around the second wall 114.

[0071] The first wall 112 includes a light-transmitting section through which light can pass. Regarding the specific arrangement of the light-transmitting section, the present invention provides at least two locations on the first wall 112 facing different directions around its perimeter, thereby allowing the second wall 114 to be viewed from multiple angles through the light-transmitting section.

[0072] Specifically, different directions can be the front-back, left-right, and right directions of the humidification component 102.

[0073] The second housing 120 is disposed inside the first housing 110 and covers the light-transmitting part. The second housing 120 and the first wall 112 surround a first cavity 130, and the second housing 120 and the second wall 114 surround a second cavity 140. The second cavity 140 can contain liquid. The first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 are in communication, and the liquid in the second cavity 140 can enter the first cavity 130.

[0074] The second chamber 140 serves as the main liquid storage chamber for the humidification assembly 102, and the liquid within the second chamber 140 is used by the humidification assembly 102 to humidify the air. The first chamber 130 is used by the user to observe the liquid level in the second chamber 140 within the humidification assembly 102.

[0075] Specifically, the first cavity 130 is connected to the second cavity 140, and the liquid in the second cavity 140 can enter the first cavity 130. The liquid levels in the two cavities will remain at the same level, and thus the liquid level in the first cavity 130 will reflect the liquid level in the second cavity 140. When observing the height of the liquid in the humidification component 102, the user only needs to observe the liquid level in the first cavity 130 through the light-transmitting part of the first wall 112 on the first housing 110 to accurately obtain the liquid level in the second cavity 140, and thus obtain the remaining liquid level of the humidification component 102 that can be used to humidify the air. Since the light-transmitting part is distributed at least in two positions on the circumference of the first wall 112 facing different directions, the user does not need to be in a position directly opposite the transparent window to observe the water level, making it easier for the user to view the liquid level in the second cavity 140.

[0076] Furthermore, the present invention utilizes the liquid level value of the first cavity 130 to reflect the liquid level value of the second cavity 140. A second housing 120 is provided between the second cavity 140 and the first wall 112. This allows the user to observe the liquid level through the light-transmitting part of the first wall 112 while also shielding the components inside the second cavity 140. The second housing 120 covers the light-transmitting part of the first wall 112, thus ensuring that the humidifying component 156 inside the humidifying assembly 102 is not visible when observing the water level, and the wet curtain is not visible, making the appearance of the humidifying assembly 102 more tidy.

[0077] Specifically, the top of the first housing 110 is provided with a water inlet, which is connected to the second cavity 140. The humidification component 102 proposed in this invention can directly inject water into the second cavity 140 through the water inlet at the top of the first housing 110, which is convenient for use.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the second housing 120 is recessed inward in a direction away from the second wall 114 to form a second groove 126. When the second housing 120 is installed on the first housing 110, the second groove 126 and the second wall 114 form a third cavity 124. A second communication port is provided in the third cavity 124 near the second wall 114. The second communication port communicates with the first cavity 130 and / or the second cavity 140. The humidification assembly 102 also includes a float assembly 150, which is disposed in the third cavity 124.

[0079] In this embodiment, the second housing 120 is recessed inward in a direction away from the second wall 114 to form a second groove 126, that is, the second groove 126 is recessed in a direction away from the second wall 114, and the groove opening of the second groove 126 is opposite to the second wall 114.

[0080] When the second housing 120 is installed on the first housing 110, the second groove 126 and the second wall 114 form a third cavity 124. A second connecting port is provided in the third cavity 124 near the second wall 114. On one hand, the second connecting port communicates with the first cavity 130; on the other hand, the second connecting port communicates with the second cavity 140. Furthermore, the second connecting port communicates with both the first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140.

[0081] Because of the interconnected arrangement of the cavities, after the liquid in the second cavity 140 enters the third cavity 124, the liquid level in the third cavity 124 can reflect the liquid level in the second cavity 140. The float assembly 150 is disposed in the third cavity 124, which detects the liquid level in the third cavity 124, thereby obtaining the liquid level in the second cavity 140. This improves the convenience of detecting the liquid level in the cavity of the humidification assembly 102 used to store liquid for humidifying the air.

[0082] Specifically, the float assembly 150 is disposed in the third cavity 124. The present invention ensures that the water level in the third cavity 124 at the highest water level is balanced with the water level in the second cavity 140, and the water shortage level in the third cavity 124 can accurately reflect the water shortage situation in the second cavity 140.

[0083] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, in the height direction, the bottom edge of the second housing 120 is not lower than the top edge of the humidifying member 156; and / or in the height direction, the top edge of the second housing 120 is not lower than the top edge of the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112.

[0084] In this embodiment, on the one hand, in the height direction, the top edge of the second housing 120 is not lower than the top edge of the humidifying component 156, that is, in the horizontal height, the top of the humidifying component 156 does not protrude from the top of the second housing 120, so that the humidifying component 156 can be completely blocked by the second housing 120. When observing the water level through the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112, the humidifying component 156 will not be observed by the user, thereby improving the appearance of the humidifying assembly 102.

[0085] On the other hand, in the height direction, the top edge of the second housing 120 is not lower than the top edge of the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112. That is, in the horizontal height, the top of the second housing 120 protrudes from the top of the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112, so that only the first cavity 130 and the second housing 120 exist within the visible range of the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112. The humidifying component 156 is completely blocked by the second housing 120. When observing the water level through the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112, the humidifying component 156 will not be observed by the user, thereby improving the appearance of the humidifying assembly 102.

[0086] On the other hand, in the height direction, the top edge of the second housing 120 is not lower than the top edge of the humidifying component 156, and in the height direction, the top edge of the second housing 120 is not lower than the top edge of the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112. Only the first cavity 130 and the second housing 120 exist within the visible range of the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112. The humidifying component 156 can be completely blocked by the second housing 120, thereby improving the appearance of the humidifying assembly 102.

[0087] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the first side of the second wall 114 is connected to the first side of the first wall 112, the second side of the second wall 114 extends toward the second side of the first wall 112, and the second wall 114 is surrounded by a first air duct 116; the humidifying component 156 is sleeved on the second wall 114.

[0088] In this embodiment, the first side of the second wall 114 is connected to the first side of the first wall 112, and the second side of the second wall 114 extends toward the second side of the first wall 112. The second wall 114 is surrounded by an air duct, and the humidifying component 156 is sleeved on the second wall 114. Air flows through the first air duct 116 to the humidifying component 102, and is then processed by the humidifying component 102 to adjust the humidity so that the user obtains air with humidity that meets the usage requirements.

[0089] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the humidifying component 102 further includes: a shielding component 164, the shielding component 164 being connected to the second side of the second wall 114, a first air vent 118 being provided between the shielding component 164 and the second wall 114, the first air vent 118 being connected to the first air duct 116 and being opposite to the humidifying component 156.

[0090] In this embodiment, the humidifying component 102 further includes a shielding component 164. In its designated position, the shielding component 164 is connected to the second side of the second wall 114. A first air vent 118 is provided between the shielding component 164 and the second wall 114. The first air vent 118 is an orifice structure for allowing airflow. The first air vent 118 communicates with the first air duct 116 and is opposite to the humidifying component 156. Air flowing out of the first air duct 116 can flow through the first air vent 118 to the humidifying component 156, where it is processed and its humidity adjusted to provide the user with air whose humidity meets their usage requirements.

[0091] The shielding component 164 shields the first air vent 118 to prevent liquid from entering the first air duct 116 through the first air vent 118, thereby preventing the liquid from corroding the components inside the first air duct 116 and ensuring the dryness inside the first air duct 116.

[0092] like Figure 3 and Figure 12 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the humidification assembly 102 further includes a handle 128, which is disposed on the inner wall of the second housing 120 and protrudes into the second cavity 140 from the inner wall of the second housing 120.

[0093] In this embodiment, the humidifying assembly 102 also includes a handle 128 for the user to grip. The handle 128 is positioned on the inner wall of the second housing 120 and protrudes into the second cavity 140 from the inner wall of the second housing 120. This positioning of the handle 128 makes it easier for the user to grip, and when the user applies force to the second housing 120 through the handle 128, the user can more easily separate the second housing 120 from the first housing 110, facilitating the extraction of the second housing 120 from the first housing 110 and enabling cleaning of both housings.

[0094] Furthermore, because this application provides a shielding component 164 to shield the first air vent 118, when the second housing 120 is lifted, liquid is prevented from entering the first air duct 116 through the first air vent 118, thereby preventing liquid from contaminating and damaging the components inside the air duct.

[0095] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the first air duct 116 is provided with a first air outlet 118, and the humidifying component 156 covers the first air outlet 118; the humidifying component 102 further includes: a grille 166, which is connected to the first housing 110 and covers the second cavity 140. The grille 166 is provided with a second air outlet, and the airflow can flow from the first air outlet 118 through the humidifying component 156 and then flow out from the second air outlet.

[0096] In this embodiment, the first air duct 116 is provided with a first air outlet 118, which is an orifice structure for allowing air to flow. The humidifying component 156 covers the first air outlet 118. The air flowing out of the first air duct 116 can flow through the first air outlet 118 to the humidifying component 156. The air is processed by the humidifying component 156 to adjust the humidity so that the user can obtain air with the required humidity.

[0097] The humidifying component 156 also includes a grille 166, which is connected to the first housing 110 and covers the second cavity 140. The grille 166 covers the air outlet of the humidifying component 102 to protect the air outlet and prevent debris from clogging the air outlet of the humidifying component 102. At the same time, the grille 166 is provided with a second air vent, through which airflow can flow from the first air vent 118 through the humidifying component 156 and then out through the second air vent.

[0098] The present invention achieves both protection for the air outlet and smooth air outlet of the humidification component 102 by setting the grille 166.

[0099] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the humidifying assembly 102 may not include the water tank 104. Specifically, such a humidifying assembly 102 includes: a first housing 110, a second housing 120, and a humidifying component 156, wherein, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the first housing 110 includes a first wall 112 and a second wall 114. The first wall 112 is connected to the second wall 114, and the first wall 112 is arranged along the outer periphery of the second wall 114. At least a portion of the first wall 112 is light-transmitting, and the light-transmitting area of ​​the first wall 112 is arranged around the second wall 114.

[0100] The second housing 120 is disposed inside the first housing 110 and arranged along the first wall 112. The second housing 120 and the first wall 112 surround a first cavity 130, and the second housing 120 and the second wall 114 surround a second cavity 140. The humidifying component 156 is disposed inside the second cavity 140. The second cavity 140 is capable of containing liquid, and the first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 are in communication, allowing the liquid in the second cavity 140 to enter the first cavity 130.

[0101] Specifically, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the humidification assembly 102 also includes a water guide 182, which is disposed at the water outlet 180. The water guide 182 can guide the water at the water outlet 180 to spray outward, thereby preventing water droplets discharged from the water outlet 180 from falling on the outer shell of the humidification assembly 102 and affecting the use of the humidification assembly 102.

[0102] Specifically, the water inlet component 182 is a silicone block.

[0103] Furthermore, the water inlet 182 is located above the scale 340.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first wall 112 may optionally be a wall that is entirely translucent.

[0105] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 16 As shown, the first wall 112 includes a first light-transmitting portion 192, which is arranged around the second housing 120.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 17 As shown, the first wall 112 includes a plurality of second light-transmitting portions 194, which are arranged at intervals around the second wall 114.

[0107] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the first wall 112 includes a light-shielding part 310 and a third light-transmitting part 320. The light-shielding part 310 is annular. The third light-transmitting part 320 is annular and is arranged along the height direction of the humidification assembly 102 with the light-shielding part 310, located below the light-shielding part 310. The light transmittance of the third light-transmitting part 320 is greater than that of the light-shielding part 310.

[0108] In this embodiment, firstly, the second housing 120 is arranged along the first wall 112, so the second housing 120 can also cover the third light-transmitting part 320 of the first wall 112. This allows the humidifying component 156 inside the humidifying assembly 102 to be invisible when observing the water level, and the wet curtain to be invisible. This also prevents the internal components from appearing visually disconnected due to the refraction of light by the liquid when the user observes the water level inside the first cavity 130. The humidifying assembly 102 has better integrity, reducing the impact of the liquid inside the first cavity 130 on the appearance of the humidifying assembly 102, thereby improving the consistency of the appearance of the humidifying assembly 102.

[0109] Furthermore, this application includes a light-shielding portion 310 and a third light-transmitting portion in the height direction of the first wall 112, and a light-shielding portion 310 and a third light-transmitting portion 320 in the height direction of the first wall 112. This facilitates the user's observation of the water level in the first cavity 130, and also prevents the internal components from appearing visually disconnected due to the refraction of light by the liquid when the user observes the water level in the first cavity 130. This further enhances the integrity of the humidification assembly 102, reduces the impact of the liquid in the first cavity 130 on the appearance of the humidification assembly 102, and thus improves the consistency of the appearance of the humidification assembly 102.

[0110] Furthermore, the first wall 112 includes a light-shielding portion 310 and a third light-transmitting portion 320 in sequence along its height, reducing the exposed area inside the humidification component 102 and further improving the neatness of the appearance of the humidification component 102. Figure 20 As shown, the height direction is indicated by arrow C. The upper and lower sections in this application refer to the humidification component 102 according to... Figure 20 and Figure 21 The positional relationship when placed as shown.

[0111] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the first wall 112 also includes a transition portion 330. The first side of the transition portion 330 is connected to the light-shielding portion 310, and the second side of the transition portion 330 is connected to the third light-transmitting portion 320. The light transmittance of the transition portion 330 increases from the first side of the transition portion 330 to the second side of the transition portion 330.

[0112] Furthermore, the transition portion 330 is also annular, and the first wall 112 consists of a light-shielding portion 310, a transition portion 330, and a third light-transmitting portion 320 along the height direction.

[0113] Furthermore, the light-shielding part 310 and the third light-transmitting part 320 can be connected by a transition part 330, or the transition part 330 can be omitted and the light-shielding part 310 and the third light-transmitting part 320 can be directly connected.

[0114] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the light transmittance of the second housing is less than the light transmittance of the third light-transmitting portion 320.

[0115] Furthermore, the second shell is an opaque shell.

[0116] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 20 and Figure 21 As shown, the first wall 112 also includes a scale 340, which is disposed on the third light-transmitting part 320 and / or the transition part 330.

[0117] Furthermore, the scale 340 can be printed on the third light-transmitting part 320 and / or the transition part 330 by screen printing process, and can be set on the outer wall surface of the third light-transmitting part 320 and / or the transition part 330, or on the inner wall surface of the third light-transmitting part 320 and / or the transition part 330.

[0118] The scale 340 can also be a separate component. The scale 340 can be attached to the outer wall surface of the third light-transmitting part 320 and / or the transition part 330, or it can be attached to the inner wall surface of the third light-transmitting part 320 and / or the transition part 330.

[0119] In some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, such as Figure 24 As shown, the light-shielding part 310 includes a body 312 and a coating 314; the body 312 is arranged in a ring shape, and the coating 314 is applied to the body 312.

[0120] In this embodiment, the light-shielding portion 310 includes a body 312 and a coating 314. The body 312 is arranged in a ring shape, and the coating 314 is applied to the body 312, thereby reducing the light transmittance of the light-shielding portion 310. Since the light transmittance of the light-shielding portion 310 can be reduced by the coating 314, the light-shielding portion 310 and the third light-transmitting portion 320 can be injection molded using the same material, thereby reducing the injection molding difficulty of the first housing and reducing the production cost of the first housing.

[0121] Furthermore, the body 312 and the third light-transmitting part 320 are integral injection molded structures. The light transmittance of the body 312 is the same as that of the third light-transmitting part 320, and the light transmittance of the body 312 is the same as that of the third light-transmitting part 320.

[0122] The light-shielding part 310 and the third light-transmitting part 320 can also be injection molded separately and then spliced ​​together. The light-shielding part 310 can be injection molded using an opaque material, for example, by adding a color masterbatch with low light transmittance during injection molding. The third light-transmitting part 320 can be injection molded using a material with high light transmittance.

[0123] The light-shielding part 310 and the third light-transmitting part 320 can also be injection molded at the same time. However, the materials of the light-shielding part 310 and the third light-transmitting part 320 are different, and the light transmittance of the light-shielding part 310 and the third light-transmitting part 320 is also different.

[0124] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, a first groove 122 is provided on the side of the second housing 120 near the second wall 114. The first groove 122 is recessed in a direction away from the second wall 114, and the first cavity 130 communicates with the second cavity 140 through the first groove 122.

[0125] In this embodiment, a first groove 122 is provided on the side of the second housing 120 near the second wall 114. In the recessed direction of the groove, the first groove 122 is recessed away from the second wall 114, that is, the opening of the first groove 122 is opposite to the second wall 114. The first cavity 130 is connected to the second cavity 140 through the first groove 122, and the liquid in the second cavity 140 can enter the first cavity 130 through the first groove 122.

[0126] By bringing the first groove 122, which connects the two cavities, closer to the second wall 114, the liquid level in the first cavity 130 can more accurately reflect the liquid level in the second cavity 140.

[0127] The present invention provides a first groove 122 on the side of the second housing 120 near the bottom wall of the first housing 110. The first groove 122 is located at a low height and is close to the second wall 114, which makes the water level feedback more accurate.

[0128] Specifically, the first groove 122, positioned lower and closer to the second wall 114, allows water in the second cavity 140 to flow into the first cavity 130 promptly. Even when the water level in the second cavity 140 is low, water can still flow into the first cavity 130 through the lower-positioned first groove 122, enabling rapid equilibrium of the liquid levels in the second cavity 140 and the first cavity 130. This improves the smoothness of liquid flow between the two cavities, resulting in more accurate water level feedback from the first cavity 130 to the second cavity 140. Furthermore, the placement of the first groove 122 on the side of the second housing 120 closest to the bottom wall of the first housing 110 prevents water from being present in the first cavity 130 while the second cavity 140 remains empty, further enhancing the accuracy of water level feedback from the first cavity 130 to the second cavity 140.

[0129] Specifically, the first groove 122 includes a communication port, that is, the first cavity 130 and the second cavity 140 can be connected through the communication port.

[0130] Specifically, such as Figure 12 As shown, a plurality of first grooves 122 are provided on the side of the second housing 120 near the second wall 114. The plurality of first grooves 122 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second housing 120. By providing the plurality of first grooves 122, the smoothness of the flow of liquid in the second cavity 140 into the first cavity 130 can be improved, the accuracy of the liquid level in the first cavity 130 in reflecting the liquid level in the second cavity 140 can be improved, and the first cavity 130 can quickly reach the same liquid level height as the second cavity 140, thereby improving the speed of liquid level observation.

[0131] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, a third cavity 124 is provided on the side of the second housing 120 near the second wall 114, the opening 125 of the third cavity 124 faces the second wall 114, and the humidification assembly 102 also includes a float assembly 150, which is disposed in the third cavity 124.

[0132] In this embodiment, a third cavity 124 is provided on the side of the second housing 120 near the second wall 114, and the opening 125 of the third cavity 124 faces the second wall 114. The humidification assembly 102 also includes a float assembly 150, which is specifically a component for detecting the liquid level.

[0133] The float assembly 150 is disposed in the third cavity 124, which can be connected to the second cavity 140. The float assembly 150 detects the liquid level in the third cavity 124, thereby accurately obtaining the liquid level height in the second cavity 140 of the humidification assembly 102, making the liquid level observation process more convenient.

[0134] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, a second groove 126 is provided on the side wall of the third cavity 124 near the second cavity 140. The second groove 126 is recessed in a direction away from the second wall 114, and the third cavity 124 communicates with the second cavity 140 through the second groove 126.

[0135] In this embodiment, the two cavities are connected by the second groove 126, and the second groove 126 is located close to the second wall 114, so that the water levels of the third cavity 124 and the second cavity 140 can be balanced. Thus, the water level of the third cavity 124 can accurately reflect the water level in the second cavity 140, which is equipped with a humidification component 156 (such as a wet curtain).

[0136] Specifically, the second groove 126 is close to the bottom wall of the second cavity 140 and the third cavity 124. Because the height of the second groove 126 is relatively low, even if the water level in the second cavity 140 is low, the water in the second cavity 140 can still flow into the third cavity 124 through the second groove 126. The flow of liquid between the second cavity 140 and the third cavity 124 is easier, which can avoid the situation where the connection between the cavities is set too high, and there is water in the second cavity 140 but it cannot flow into the third cavity 124 through the second groove 126. The water level of the second cavity 140 can be detected smoothly through the third cavity 124.

[0137] In addition, by setting the second groove 126 at a lower height, the situation where there is water in the third cavity 124 but no water in the second cavity 140 can be avoided, thereby improving the accuracy of water level detection.

[0138] like Figure 7 and Figure 13 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the float assembly 150 includes a float cover 152 and a float 154. The float cover 152 is disposed in the third cavity 124 and connected to the second housing 120; the float 154 is disposed in the float cover 152 and is slidable along the float cover 152.

[0139] In this embodiment, the float assembly 150 specifically includes a float cover 152 and a float 154. The float cover 152 is disposed within the third cavity 124 and is connected to the second housing 120. After the float cover 152 is disposed within the third cavity 124 and connected to the second housing 120, its position relative to the second housing 120 remains unchanged.

[0140] The float 154 is disposed inside the float cover 152 and can slide along the float cover 152. The float cover 152 limits the float 154. When the liquid level in the third chamber 124 increases, the float 154 slides upward accordingly. When the liquid level in the third chamber 124 decreases, the float 154 slides downward accordingly. This enables convenient detection of the liquid level in the third chamber 124 and ultimately enables detection of the liquid level in the second chamber 140.

[0141] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the first side of the second wall 114 is connected to the first side of the first wall 112, the second side of the second wall 114 extends toward the second side of the first wall 112, and the second wall 114 is surrounded by a first air duct 116; the humidifying component 156 is sleeved on the second wall 114.

[0142] In this embodiment, the first side of the second wall 114 is connected to the first side of the first wall 112, and the second side of the second wall 114 extends toward the second side of the first wall 112. The second wall 114 is surrounded by an air duct, and the humidifying component 156 is sleeved on the second wall 114. Air flows through the first air duct 116 to the humidifying component 102, and is then processed by the humidifying component 102 to adjust the humidity so that the user obtains air with humidity that meets the usage requirements.

[0143] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 15 As shown, the humidifying component 156 also includes a cover 160, the humidifying component 156 is connected to one side of the cover 160, and the humidifying component 156 is arranged on the cover 160 along the circumference of the cover 160.

[0144] Specifically, such as Figure 7 and Figure 15 As shown, a handle 162 is also provided on the cover 160. The handle 162 is provided on the cover 160. The cover 160 can be lifted by the handle 162, thereby moving the humidifying component 156 as a whole, which improves the ease of use of the humidifying component 156.

[0145] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, optionally, the humidifying component 102 further includes a shielding component 164, which is connected to the second side of the second wall 114. A first air vent 118 is provided between the shielding component 164 and the second wall 114. The first air vent 118 is connected to the first air duct 116 and is opposite to the humidifying component 156.

[0146] In this embodiment, the humidifying component 102 further includes a shielding component 164. In its designated position, the shielding component 164 is connected to the second side of the second wall 114. A first air vent 118 is provided between the shielding component 164 and the second wall 114. The first air vent 118 is an orifice structure for allowing airflow. The first air vent 118 communicates with the first air duct 116 and is opposite to the humidifying component 156. Air flowing out of the first air duct 116 can flow through the first air vent 118 to the humidifying component 156, where it is processed and its humidity adjusted to provide the user with air whose humidity meets their usage requirements.

[0147] The shielding component 164 shields the first air vent 118 to prevent liquid from entering the first air duct 116 through the first air vent 118, thereby preventing the liquid from corroding the components inside the first air duct 116 and ensuring the dryness inside the first air duct 116.

[0148] Specifically, such as Figure 14 As shown, the humidification assembly 102 also includes a mounting member 168, which is disposed on the second housing 120, and the shielding member 164 is stably disposed on the second housing 120 through the mounting member 168.

[0150] Specifically, the shielding component 164 includes a silicone ring.

[0151] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, an air purification device 100 is provided, including a humidification component 102 as described in any of the above embodiments.

[0152] In this embodiment, the air purification device 100 provided by the present invention includes the humidification component 102 as in any of the above embodiments, and therefore has all the beneficial effects of the humidification component 102 in any of the above embodiments, which will not be elaborated here.

[0153] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air purification device 100 may optionally include a third housing 184, a filter element 188, and a fan 190. The third housing 184 is provided with a second air duct 186, which communicates with the first air duct 116 of the humidification assembly 102; the filter element 188 is disposed on one side of the second air duct 186; and the fan 190 is disposed inside the second air duct 186.

[0154] In this embodiment, the air purification device 100 further includes a third housing 184, a filter component 188, and a fan 190.

[0164] A fourth wall 196 is disposed opposite to the third wall 115 in the third housing 184. The fourth wall 196 is arranged around the second air duct 186 and is in contact with the third wall 115. The fourth wall 196 is the wall structure of the third housing 184, and the third wall 115 is the wall structure of the first housing 110. The fourth wall 196 is opposite to the third wall 115. Through the contact between the fourth wall 196 and the third wall 115, the humidification component 102 is connected to the third housing 184, thereby realizing that the humidification component 102 is disposed on the third housing 184.

[0165] The present invention provides a first housing 110 with a third wall 115 and a third housing 184 with a fourth wall 196.

The float assembly 150 detects the upper limit of the liquid level in the third cavity 124, and the first detection component 204 detects the lower limit of the liquid level in the third cavity 124 by detecting the position of the float 154. Finally, the liquid level data in the third cavity 124 can be accurately obtained, thereby accurately obtaining the liquid level data in the second cavity 140.

[0171] Specifically, the first detection component 204 includes a sensor.

Based on the humidifying component 102 being installed in the third housing 184, the control component 208 can control the air purification device 100 to enter the combination mode. Based on the humidifying component 102 not being installed in the third housing 184, the control component 208 can control the air purification device 100 to enter the purification mode.

[0173] In this embodiment, the air purification device 100 further includes a second detection component 206 and a control component 208. In the setting position, the second detection component 206 is disposed on the first docking part 198. The second detection component 206 can detect whether the humidification component 102 is installed on the third housing 184.

[0174] The control component 208 is electrically connected to the second detection component 206, and the control component 208 can receive the detection signal transmitted by the second detection component 206. The air purification device 100 is provided with a purification mode and a combination mode. The purification mode is the working mode in which the air purification device 100 filters and purifies the air, and the combination mode is the working mode in which the air purification device 100 both humidifies and filters and purifies the air.

[0175] The second detection component 206 detects whether the humidification component 102 is installed on the third housing 184. When the second detection component 206 detects that the humidification component 102 is installed on the third housing 184, the second detection component 206 sends a signal to the control component 208 indicating that the humidification component 102 is installed on the third housing 184. Based on the fact that the humidification component 102 is installed on the third housing 184, the control component 208 controls the air purification device 100 to enter the combination mode. Both the filter component 188 and the humidification component 102 of the air purification device 100 act on the air. The air purification device 100 humidifies and filters the air, so that users can obtain fresh air with the required humidity.

[0176] When the second detection component 206 detects that the humidification component 102 is not installed on the third housing 184, the second detection component 206 sends a signal to the control component 208 that the humidification component 102 is not installed on the third housing 184. Based on the fact that the humidification component 102 is not installed on the third housing 184, the control component 208 controls the air purifier 100 to enter the purification mode. The filter component 188 in the air purifier 100 acts on the air, and the air purifier 100 filters and purifies the air, thereby allowing the user to obtain fresh air.

[0177] The present invention further includes a second detection component 206 and a control component 208 in the air purification device 100, which enables precise determination of whether the humidification component 102 is installed in the third housing 184, and allows the air purification device 100 to switch between combination mode and purification mode according to the detection result, thereby improving the operational reliability of the air purification device 100.
