When the first semi-circular flange and the second semi-circular flange are inserted and matched, the first sealing pipe and the second sealing pipe are in sealed contact;

[0007] The tower fan body is provided with an elastic clamping structure for fixing the humidification module, and the humidification module is provided with a fixing buckle cooperating with the elastic clamping structure. The elastic clamping structure includes a fixing plate fixed on the tower fan body, a sliding plate slidably installed on the tower fan body, an elastic member connecting the sliding plate and the tower fan body, and a driving plate for driving the sliding plate to slide; the fixing plate is provided with a plurality of clamping holes along the height direction for the fixing buckle to insert, the sliding plate has elastic buckles corresponding to the clamping holes and used for cooperating with the fixing buckle for fixing, the driving plate is slidably installed on the tower fan body, and the driving plate is provided with an abutting portion for driving the sliding plate to slide.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the humidification module is installed on the tower fan body, through the insertion of the first semi-circular flange and the second semi-circular flange, the sealed abutment between the humidification module and the tower fan body is achieved, and through the setting of the elastic clamping structure, the rapid disassembly and assembly of the humidification module and the tower fan body are realized at the same time. Under the action of the sealing structure and the elastic clamping structure, the rapid disassembly and assembly and the sealed connection between the humidification module and the tower fan body are ensured.

[0009] Optionally, an abutting outer groove is provided at the end of the first semi-circular flange, and an abutting inner groove that abuts and cooperates with the abutting outer groove is provided at the end of the second semi-circular flange. Sealing strips are provided on the inner sides of both the first semi-circular flange and the second semi-circular flange; when the first semi-circular flange and the second semi-circular flange are butted, the two sealing strips seal the first sealing pipe and the second sealing pipe.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the cooperation of the abutting outer groove and the abutting inner groove increases the abutting area of the two semi-circular flanges, increases the connection strength between the humidification module and the tower fan body, and the setting of the two sealing strips further improves the sealing effect.

[0011] Optionally, the tower fan body is provided with an installation groove for inserting the humidification module, and a guiding rib for guiding the insertion of the humidification module is provided on the bottom wall of the installation groove; a positioning block is provided on the side of the humidification module facing the tower fan body, and the tower fan body has a positioning groove that is inserted and cooperated with the positioning block.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation groove of the tower fan body is used for inserting and installing the humidification module, and the guiding rib plays a guiding role in guiding the insertion of the humidification module, ensuring the accuracy of the abutment of the sealing structure and the cooperation of the elastic clamping structure; the setting of the positioning block and the positioning groove can play a positioning role in the insertion of the humidification module and the installation groove, further improving the connection stability between the humidification module and the tower fan body.

[0013] Optionally, the humidification module is communicated with the fogging module; the humidification module is provided with a water inlet hole for pouring water, and the tower fan body has a water inlet cavity corresponding to the water inlet hole;

[0014] A flip cover is rotatably installed in the water inlet cavity of the tower fan body. When the flip cover is rotated and opened, the water source flows along the flip cover to the water inlet hole; the water inlet cavity has a water inlet through hole communicating with the water inlet cavity, the inner diameter of the water inlet through hole is smaller than the inner diameter of the water inlet, and an arc-shaped sliding hole is provided on the inner side wall of the water inlet cavity. The flip cover has a limiting protrusion that slidably cooperates with the arc-shaped sliding hole.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the disassembly and assembly structure of the water tank and the setting of the flip cover enable the tower fan body to have two water filling methods. The first water filling method: After the humidification module is removed from the tower fan body, water is filled. Through the setting of the sealing structure, a sealed connection between the mist outlet module and the humidification module is achieved. The second water filling method: By rotating the flip cover, the water inlet cavity is communicated with the outside air, and the user directly pours water into the flip cover, and the water source directly enters the humidification module. In the first water filling method, the water tank is removed from the tower fan body, which is suitable for the situation of filling a large amount of water, reducing the water filling frequency, and at the same time, the user can conveniently clean the water tank. The second water filling method has the function of quickly filling water, saving the user's time and energy compared with the method of removing the water tank.

[0016] Optionally, the humidification module is provided with a plurality of limiting platforms arranged circumferentially for installing the mist outlet module, and an insertion gap is formed between adjacent limiting platforms. At least two installation flanges for rotatably inserting into the limiting platforms are arranged on the outer side of the atomization module. After the installation flanges and the limiting platforms are inserted and matched, the inner cavities of the atomization module and the humidification module are hermetically connected.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the installation flange of the atomization module is inserted into the insertion gap between adjacent limiting platforms, and the atomization module is rotated circumferentially to make the installation flange rotatably inserted into the limiting platform. The connection and fixation of the atomization module and the tower fan body are realized through the cooperation of the limiting platform and the installation flange. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0018] Optionally, the limiting platform is provided with a rotating slot, and the opening bottom wall of the rotating slot has a guiding inclined surface for guiding the rotational insertion of the installation flange; the limiting platform is further provided with an elastic strip for limiting the installation flange, and multiple groups of blocks for driving the elastic strip to bend are arranged circumferentially on the side wall of the atomization module.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the guiding inclined surface facilitates the rotational insertion of the installation flange into the installation slot. The setting of the elastic strip and the block can lock the atomization module and the limiting platform, reducing the probability of the atomization module falling off the limiting platform. The locking structure is relatively simple and can achieve locking while rotating and inserting.

[0020] Optionally, the mist outlet module includes a first mist outlet component and a second mist outlet component. The first mist outlet component is hermetically arranged on the top of the humidification module. The tower fan body has a humidification and mist outlet for communicating the first mist outlet component and the humidification module. The first mist outlet component has two first mist outlets symmetrically arranged along the axis of the humidification and mist outlet.

[0021] The second mist outlet component includes two mist outlet pipes vertically arranged on the tower fan body. The bottom inlets of the two mist outlet pipes are respectively communicated with the two first mist outlets. Second mist outlets are formed in the side walls of the mist outlet pipes along the height direction, and the two second mist outlets are arranged correspondingly.

[0022] The atomization module is arranged at the bottom of the humidification module. The humidification module has a mist channel communicating the atomization module and the humidification mist outlet, and a guiding fan for guiding the flow of mist is arranged in the mist channel.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solutions, the setting of the first mist outlet component and the second mist outlet component enables uniform atomization distribution, improves the atomization diffusion efficiency, and achieves the effect of rapid humidification. Through the air flow pressure of the guiding fan strip holes, the air flow speed in the mist channel is maintained, ensuring the transportation stability of the mist.

[0024] Optionally, the fan module includes a fixed fan fixed to the tower fan body and a wind wheel arranged on the fixed fan. Air inlets and air outlets are symmetrically formed in the side wall of the tower fan body along the axis of the fixed fan. The second mist outlet component is arranged on one side of the air outlet. First wind deflectors and second wind deflectors for guiding the flow of air are arranged at the air outlet in the tower fan body.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solutions, the mist is generated by the atomization module and is transported upward along the mist channel under the action of the guiding fan to the first mist outlet component. The first mist outlet component evenly distributes the mist into the two mist outlet pipes, and finally flows out from the two mist outlet pipes. The two second mist outlets correspond to each other, enabling the fan module to evenly output the mist. Compared with the mist transportation of the prior art, the mist transportation efficiency is high.

[0026] Optionally, the tower fan body includes a fixed base and a tower fan housing. The device further includes a rotation module for driving the rotation of the tower fan housing. The fixed base is provided with a first rotating disk for fixedly installing the tower fan housing. A fixed insertion pipe is arranged on the axis of the first rotating disk. The rotation module includes a rotation motor fixed to the tower fan body and a connecting rod assembly fixed to the output shaft of the rotation motor. A positioning shaft for rotatably installing the end of the connecting rod assembly is arranged outside the fixed insertion pipe. The axis of the rotation motor and the fixed insertion pipe are eccentrically arranged.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solutions, the setting of the rotation module can drive the rotation of the tower fan housing, so that the area that the tower fan body can blow to is wider, improving the use experience of the tower fan.

[0028] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0029] Through the setting of the fog output module, the present application adopts the method of bilateral fog output to increase the humidification amount. When the fan module is started, a negative pressure is generated at the air outlet to drive the fog to be discharged at an accelerated speed. Compared with the existing exhaust structure of the tower fan, it can achieve a better cooling effect and a larger cooling area.

[0030] Through the disassembly and assembly structure of the water tank and the setting of the flip cover in the present application, the tower fan body has two water filling methods. The first water filling method is that the water tank is removed from the tower fan body, which is suitable for the situation of large-capacity water filling, reduces the water filling frequency, and facilitates the cleaning of the water tank. The second water filling method has the function of quickly filling water, saving the user's time and energy.

[0031] In the present application, the fixed connection between the humidification module and the tower fan body is realized through the elastic clamping structure, and the connection is stable. The unlocking and removal of the humidification module and the tower fan body are realized through the driving plate, and the operation is convenient. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following is combined with Figures 1 - 15 This application is described in further detail.

[0049] The embodiment of the present application discloses an ice mist tower fan.

[0051] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the tower fan body 1 includes a fixed base 11 and a tower fan housing 12. A first rotating disc 111 is rotatably installed on the top of the fixed base 11. The tower fan housing 12 is an overall vertical cylindrical housing, and a second rotating disc 121 that is rotationally matched with the fixed base 11 is bolted to the bottom of the tower fan housing 12, and the second rotating disc 121 and the first rotating disc 111 are fixedly connected. A rotating module 6 for driving the tower fan housing 12 to rotate is arranged on the second rotating disc 121.

[0052] The rotating module 6 includes a rotating motor 61 fixed to the top of the second rotating disc 121 and a connecting rod assembly 62 fixed to the output shaft of the rotating motor 61. The first rotating disc 111 is a circular turntable, and the central axis of the first rotating disc 111 has a fixed insertion tube 1111 arranged vertically and inserted and matched with the second rotating disc 121. The outer edge of the fixed insertion tube 1111 has a positioning shaft 1112 for installing the end of the connecting rod assembly 62. The output shaft of the rotating motor 61 and the axis of the first rotating disc 111 are eccentrically arranged.

[0053] The connecting rod assembly 62 includes a connecting block 621 fixed to the rotating motor 61 and an arc-shaped piece 622. The connecting block 621 is a strip-shaped block. The two ends of the arc-shaped piece 622 are respectively rotationally matched with the connecting block 621 and the positioning shaft 1112. The connecting rod assembly 62, the rotating motor 61 and the positioning shaft 1112 form a crank and connecting rod structure. When the rotating motor 61 is started, it drives the first rotating disc 111 and the second rotating disc 121 to rotate reciprocally along the central axis, realizing the overall swing of the tower fan housing 12.

[0054] Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , an installation groove 122 for the humidification module 2 to slide and insert is opened at the bottom of the tower fan housing 12, and the fog outlet module 4 is arranged on the top of the installation groove 122. A sealing structure is arranged between the humidification module 2 and the fog outlet module 4. The sealing structure includes a first sealing pipe 1221, a second sealing pipe 21, a first semi-circular flange 1222 and a second semi-circular flange 22.

[0055] The first sealing pipe 1221 and the second sealing pipe 21 are respectively arranged on the inner wall of the installation groove 122 and the top of the humidification module 2. The first sealing pipe 1221 is used to communicate with the fog outlet module 4, the second sealing pipe 21 is used to communicate with the internal fog passage of the humidification module 2, and the first sealing pipe 1221 and the second sealing pipe 21 have the same size.

[0056] The first semi-circular flange 1222 is in the shape of a semi-circular arc plate and is integrally provided on the tower fan housing 12. The first semi-circular flange 1222 is located on the side of the first sealing tube 1221 away from the opening of the installation groove 122, and its inner diameter is larger than the outer diameter of the first sealing tube 1221. Both ends of the first semi-circular flange 1222 are provided with abutting outer grooves 1223.

[0057] The shape of the second semi-circular flange 22 is the same as that of the first semi-circular flange 1222, and the two semi-circular flanges are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the first sealing tube 1221. Both ends of the second semi-circular flange 22 are provided with abutting inner grooves 221 that are in abutting cooperation with the abutting outer grooves 1223. When the first semi-circular flange 1222 and the second semi-circular flange 22 are abutted, the first sealing tube 1221 and the second sealing tube 21 are in sealing abutment and coaxial arrangement.

[0058] Sealing strips 222 are fixed to the inner sides of the first semi-circular flange 1222 and the second semi-circular flange 22 by tapes, and the sealing strips 222 are also semi-circular. The sealing strips 222 can be self-adhesive foam or silicone. When the humidifying module 2 is pushed in, the sealing strips 222 are in sealing abutment with the connection parts of the first sealing tube 1221 and the second sealing tube 21.

[0059] Among them, the height of the first semi-circular flange 1222 in the vertical direction is less than the distance from the top wall of the installation groove 122 to the top of the humidifying module 2. Therefore, after the humidifying module 2 and the tower fan housing 12 are installed, there are gaps between the first semi-circular flange 1222 and the top of the humidifying module 2, and between the second semi-circular flange 22 and the top wall of the installation groove 122.

[0060] Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , on the side of the humidifying module 2 facing the installation groove 122, a positioning block 23 is provided. The positioning block 23 is a strip-shaped block arranged along the height direction. In other embodiments, the positioning block 23 can be a water level indicator window, which is communicated with the inner cavity of the humidifying module 2 so that the user can observe the water volume situation of the humidifying module 2.

[0061] The tower fan housing 12 has a positioning groove 123 that is adaptively inserted with the positioning block 23. On the opposite sides of the bottom wall of the installation groove 122, guiding ribs 1224 for guiding the horizontal insertion of the humidifying module 2 are provided. The two guiding ribs 1224 are arranged in parallel, and the bottom of the humidifying module 2 has a guiding groove that cooperates with the guiding ribs 1224.

The elastic clamping structure 13 includes a fixing plate 131 fixed to the tower fan housing 12, a sliding plate 132 slidably installed on the tower fan housing 12, an elastic member 133 for driving the sliding plate 132 to slide and reset, and a driving plate 134 for driving the sliding plate 132 to slide.

[0063] The tower fan housing 12 has a vertical sliding groove 1225 for installing the elastic clamping structure 13 at the opening of the installation groove 122. The fixing plate 131 is fixed along the height direction in the vertical sliding groove 1225, and a plurality of locking through holes 1311 are evenly spaced along the height direction on the fixing plate 131. The tower fan housing 12 has locking screw holes 1241 corresponding to the locking through holes 1311 one by one. The fixing plate 131 and the tower fan housing 12 are fixedly connected by screws.

[0064] The sliding plate 132 is arranged in the vertical sliding groove 1225. The sliding plate 132 is provided with sliding holes 1321 penetrating through both side end faces at intervals, and the axis of the sliding holes 1321 extends along the height direction. The tower fan housing 12 is provided with sliding columns 124 horizontally inserted into the sliding holes 1321 in the vertical sliding groove 1225. The locking screw holes 1241 are opened on the end faces of the sliding columns 124.

[0065] There are clamping holes 1312 for inserting the fixed clamping buckle 24 between adjacent locking through holes 1311, and the clamping holes 1312 are rectangular through holes. An elastic clamping buckle 1322 corresponding to the clamping holes 1312 one by one is integrally provided on the sliding plate 132. The structures of the elastic clamping buckle 1322 and the fixed clamping buckle 24 are identical as a whole. The end of the fixed clamping buckle 24 has a first guiding surface 241, and the end of the elastic clamping buckle 1322 has a second guiding surface 13221 that cooperates with and abuts against the first guiding surface 241.

[0066] The elastic member 133 is a spring member. The sliding plate 132 has a placement groove 1323 that penetrates through both side end faces and is for arranging the elastic member 133 between adjacent clamping holes 1312. A first positioning post 1324 for limiting one end of the elastic member 133 is integrally provided on the top wall of the placement groove 1323 of the sliding plate 132. The tower fan housing 12 is provided with a second positioning post 125 for limiting and arranging the other end of the elastic member 133 on the bottom wall of the placement groove 1323.

[0067] The driving plate 134 is a strip-shaped plate arranged along the vertical direction as a whole. The side wall of the tower fan housing 12 has a driving sliding groove 126 for placing the driving plate 134. The depth of the driving sliding groove 126 is the same as the thickness of the driving plate 134, so that the driving plate 134 can be flush with the outer side wall of the tower fan housing 12.

[0068] Combined Figure 8, the driving plate 134 is provided with two abutting parts 1341 inserted into the vertical slide grooves 1225 along the height direction, and the abutting parts 1341 and the sliding plate 132 are fixedly connected by screws. The sliding plate 132 is also provided with abutting blocks 1325 for pushing the humidification module 2, and the abutting blocks 1325 correspond to the fixed buckles 24 one by one, and each group of abutting blocks 1325 is located above the fixed buckles 24. The abutting blocks 1325 have a driving inclined surface 13251 on the side facing the fixed buckle 24, so that when the user moves the driving plate 134 downward, the sliding plate 132 moves downward synchronously, and the driving inclined surface 13251 abuts against the fixed buckle 24, so that the humidification module 2 as a whole moves away from the mounting groove 122.

[0069] Reference Figure 9 The humidification module 2 is provided with a water inlet hole 25 communicating with the inner cavity at the top of the second semicircular flange 22 away from the second sealing tube 21. The tower fan housing 12 has a water inlet cavity 127 corresponding to the water inlet hole 25 at the top of the mounting groove 122, and the water inlet cavity 127 is communicated with the outside. The water inlet cavity 127 has a water inlet through hole 1271 communicating with the water inlet hole 25, and the inner diameter of the water inlet through hole 1271 in the horizontal direction is smaller than the water inlet hole 25, so that the water source added from the water inlet cavity 127 can accurately enter the humidification module 2 through the water inlet through hole 1271.

[0070] The tower fan housing 12 is rotatably mounted with a flap 14 for covering the water inlet chamber 127 in the water inlet chamber 127. The open bottom wall of the water inlet chamber 127 has a hinged seat for the flap 14 to be installed.

When the limiting protrusion 141 is located at the bottom end of the arc-shaped sliding hole 1272, the flap 14 closes the opening of the water inlet chamber 127 to reduce the entry of external impurities into the humidification module 2. When the limiting protrusion 141 is located at the top end of the arc-shaped sliding hole 1272, the flap 14 is flipped out of the water inlet chamber 127 as a whole, and the user can directly pour water from the top plate of the flap 14, and the water source enters the humidification module 2 along the flap 14. The top of the flip cover 14 also has a toggle hole 142 for users to rotate.

[0071] Reference Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12, the atomization module 3 is arranged at the bottom of the inner cavity of the humidification module 2, and the humidification module 2 has a mounting hole 26 for mounting the atomization module 3. A plurality of limiting platforms 27 are integrally arranged along the outer edge of the mounting hole 26 of the humidification module 2. The atomization module 3 is installed from bottom to top, and the limiting platform 27 is located at the bottom of the mounting hole 26. A plurality of mounting flanges 31 for cooperating and fixing with the limiting platform 27 are integrally arranged on the outer side wall of the atomization module 3. In this embodiment, both the limiting platform 27 and the mounting flange 31 have four groups, and the four groups of limiting platforms 27 are circumferentially and evenly spaced along the axis of the mounting hole 26.

[0072] The mounting flange 31 is integrally arranged on the outside of the atomization module 3, and the mounting flange 31 is integrally an arc-shaped protrusion extending away from the axis of the atomization module 3. An insertion gap 271 for vertically inserting the mounting flange 31 is provided between adjacent limiting platforms 27, and the arc length of the insertion gap 271 is greater than the arc length of the mounting flange 31.

[0073] One end of the limiting platform 27 is provided with a rotary slot 272 for the mounting flange 31 to be rotatably inserted, and the inner side wall of the limiting platform 27 at one end far from the opening of the rotary slot 272 has a positioning surface 2721 for the mounting flange 31 to abut against. A guiding inclined surface 2722 for the mounting flange 31 to be inserted is arranged on the bottom wall of the rotary slot 272 of the limiting platform 27. The guiding inclined surface 2722 gradually inclines upward along the rotary insertion direction of the mounting flange 31.

[0074] After the mounting flange 31 abuts against the positioning surface 2721, the top of the atomization module 3 and the bottom surface of the mounting hole 26 are in sealing abutment. Among them, in order to further improve the sealing performance between the atomization module 3 and the humidification module 2, a sealing ring 32 is further installed on the top of the atomization module 3, and the sealing ring 32 is an annular ring made of silica gel. The bottom of the mounting hole 26 is a counterbore structure, and the sealing ring 32 is in sealing abutment with the inner wall of the mounting hole 26.

[0075] This application also has a limiting structure for locking the atomization module 3 and the limiting platform 27. The limiting structure includes an elastic strip 273 arranged on the limiting platform 27 and a plurality of stoppers 33 circumferentially arranged on the atomization module 3 and used for driving the elastic strip 273 to bend.

[0076] The elastic strip 273 is integrally arranged at the bottom of the limiting platform 27 on the side facing the mounting hole 26. The elastic strip 273 is an arc-shaped strip, and its whole extends in a direction away from the positioning surface 2721. The side wall of the elastic strip 273 has a guiding arc surface 2731 for the stopper 33 to abut against. In this embodiment, only one of the four limiting platforms 27 is provided with the elastic strip 273.

[0077] The stopper 33 is integrally provided below the mounting flange 31, and the cross-section of the stopper 33 in the vertical direction is triangular. In this embodiment, the atomization module 3 has eight stoppers 33, and the stoppers 33 are evenly arranged circumferentially along the axis of the atomization module 3. Therefore, there is a stopper 33 below each mounting flange 31. When the mounting flange 31 rotates towards the mounting groove 122 in the insertion gap 271, the stopper 33 drives the elastic strip 273 to generate elastic deformation, so that the elastic strip 273 bends away from the axis of the mounting hole 26. Continuing to rotate the atomization module 3, after the stopper 33 and the elastic strip 273 are staggered, the elastic strip 273 automatically resets, and the elastic strip 273 abuts against the side of the notch of the stopper 33 facing the mounting groove 122, realizing the fixation of the atomization module 3 on the limiting platform 27 and reducing the probability of the atomization module 3 moving or slipping.

[0078] Refer to Figure 9 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown in FIGS. and, the mist outlet module 4 is integrally installed above the humidification module 2.

[0079] The humidification module 2 is also provided with a guiding fan 29 at the bottom of the mist passage 28. The mist passage 28 has a guiding inclined surface 281 for the gas to abut against. The air generated by the guiding fan 29 impacts on the guiding inclined surface 281, and through the guiding inclined surface 281, the air can drive the mist to rise synchronously when being conveyed upward.

[0080] The first mist outlet assembly 41 has two first mist outlets 411, and the first mist outlets 411 are symmetrically arranged along the axis of the humidification mist outlet 16. The bottom of the first mist outlet assembly 41 has a sealing ring groove 412, and the mist outlet chamber 128 has a sealing convex ring 1281 inserted and matched with the sealing ring groove 412, realizing the sealing between the first mist outlet assembly 41 and the mounting hole 26 through the sealing ring groove 412 and the sealing convex ring 1281. The outer edge of the first mist outlet assembly 41 is also provided with multiple groups of positioning flanges 413, and the outside of the sealing convex ring 1281 has positioning convex columns 1282 inserted and matched with the positioning flanges 413. After the positioning flanges 413 and the positioning convex columns 1282 are inserted, the two are locked and fixed by screws.

[0081] The second fog outlet component 42 includes two fog outlet pipes vertically installed on the tower fan housing 12. The bottom of the fog outlet pipe has a fog inlet 422 corresponding to the first fog outlet 411.

The tower fan housing 12 has an air inlet 129 for air to enter and an air outlet 1210 for air to be discharged on opposite sides along the axis. The second fog outlet component 42 is installed on one side of the air outlet 1210. Among them, a grille 15 for guiding the air flow is also installed on the tower fan housing 12 on the side of the air inlet 129. Both the grille 15 and the second fog outlet component 42 are fixed to the tower fan housing 12 by screws.

[0083] Referring to Figure 13 , a first wind deflector 53 and a second wind deflector 54 for guiding the air flow are installed in the tower fan housing 12. Both the first wind deflector 53 and the second wind deflector 54 are arc-shaped sheets 622 arranged vertically. The two wind deflectors are both arranged outside the wind wheel 52, and one side of the wind deflector is fixed to the air outlet 1210, so as to form a volute structure in the tower fan housing 12. Among them, the second fog outlets 421 are respectively located on the opposite side walls of the air outlet 1210.

[0084] The implementation principle of an ice fog tower fan according to an embodiment of the present application is as follows: The user removes the humidification module 2 from the tower fan housing 12 to add water according to the usage needs, or directly adds water to the water inlet cavity 127 by rotating the flip cover 14; the atomization module 3 atomizes the water in the humidification module 2 and transports it to the installation hole 26, and the fog sequentially passes through the installation hole 26, the first fog outlet component 41, the fog outlet chamber 128, and the second fog outlet component 42, and finally is discharged from the second outlet, and the air flow formed by the fan module 5 sends out the fog; when it is necessary to expand the air supply range, the rotation module 6 is started to make the tower fan housing 12 swing back and forth along the vertical axis.

[0085] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited accordingly. Therefore, all equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
