[0029] The following detailed description provides various embodiments or examples for carrying out the present invention. Of course, these are merely embodiments or examples and are not intended to be limiting. Additionally, repeated reference numerals, such as repeated numbers and / or letters, may be used in different embodiments. These repetitions are for the purpose of simple and clear description of the invention and do not represent a specific relationship between the different embodiments and / or structures discussed.

[0030] like Figures 1-11 The illustrated intelligent portable humidifier includes a base 1 and a water tank 2 mounted on the base 1. A base 3 is located at the lower end of the base 1, and an end cap 4 is located at the upper end of the water tank 2. A mist outlet 5 is located at the center of the upper end of the end cap 4. The humidifier also includes a multi-functional cover 6. Supporting connection components that can be detachably connected to the multi-functional cover 6 are located at the lower end of the base 3 and the upper end of the end cap 4. The multi-functional cover 6 includes a circular cover body 7, and a central cylinder 8 is located at the lower center of the circular cover body 7. The lower end of the central cylinder 8 is open. The central cylinder 8 is connected to the mist outlet 5. Multiple horizontally extending first support bodies 9 are provided on the outer wall of the central cylinder 8. The first support body 9 is provided with a mist outlet channel 10 connected to the central cylinder 8. The round cover body 7 is detachable and rotatably mounted on the support connection assembly. When the round cover body 7 is mounted on the base 3, it is fixedly supported by the first support bodies 9. A rotation drive device is also provided on the round cover body 7. When the round cover body 7 is mounted on the end cover 4, the round cover body 7 can be driven to rotate by the rotation drive device.

[0031] Based on the above structure, the detachable multi-functional cover 6 enables the reuse of a single component in multiple scenarios. When the multi-functional cover 6 is installed on the base 3, its first support body 9 can provide support, allowing the humidifier to be placed stably. When the multi-functional cover 6 is installed on the end cap 4, the multi-functional cover 6 and the mist outlet channel 10 are rotated by the rotation drive device, achieving multi-directional uniform diffusion of mist. This design requires no additional accessories, significantly reduces the storage volume, and meets the needs of portability.

[0032] The connection structure between the central cylinder 8 and the mist outlet channel 10, combined with the rotary drive device, allows the mist to spread centrifugally as the multi-functional cover 6 rotates, effectively expanding the humidification coverage area and avoiding excessively high local humidity. Furthermore, the rotation speed can be adjusted to adapt to different environmental humidity requirements, thus improving the user experience.

[0033] In addition, the detachable design of the supporting connection components allows users to quickly switch between the functional modes of the multi-functional cover 6, while also facilitating cleaning and maintenance.

[0034] See Figure 5 , Figure 8 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the supporting connection assembly includes a first annular baffle 21 respectively disposed on the upper end of the end cap 4 and the lower end of the base 3. A first annular groove 22 is provided on the outer wall of the first annular baffle 21. A second annular baffle 23 is provided on the circumferential edge of the round cover body 7. A plurality of steel ball seats 24 are evenly distributed along the circumference on the inner side of the second annular baffle 23. A steel ball 25 is movably disposed in each of the steel ball seats 24. The steel ball 25 is partially exposed outside the steel ball seat 24 and rolls within the first annular groove 22.

[0035] When the multi-functional cover 6 is installed, the steel ball 25 of the second annular baffle 23 is embedded in the first annular groove 22. The rolling of the steel ball 25 reduces friction, allowing the multi-functional cover 6 to rotate easily. When disassembling, the multi-functional cover 6 is simply pulled up, and the steel ball 25 is disengaged from the groove, without complicated operation. The rolling structure of the steel ball 25 ensures smooth rotation, avoids the problem of easy wear in traditional threaded connections, and extends service life.

[0036] Furthermore, the second annular baffle 23 is evenly distributed with a plurality of elastic pieces 31 along its circumference. The elastic pieces 31 are formed by first notches 32 spaced apart in the second annular baffle 23. The steel ball seat 24 is located on the inner side of the elastic pieces 31. When installing the multifunctional cover 6, the steel ball 25 first abuts against the first annular baffle 21, the elastic pieces 31 deform outward, the steel ball 25 aligns with the first annular sliding groove opening 22 and then releases the elastic pieces 31, the elastic pieces 31 reset, and the steel ball 25 automatically snaps into the sliding groove and is fixed.

[0037] The elastic sheet 31 provides adaptive clamping force to fit manufacturing tolerances, improves installation efficiency, and ensures installation compatibility between different batches of products.

[0038] Furthermore, a limiting flange 41 is provided on the outer wall of the first annular baffle 21. A second annular groove 42 is formed between the limiting flange 41 and the bottom wall of the end cover 4 and the base 3. A plurality of second slots 43 corresponding to the number of steel ball seats 24 are provided on the limiting flange 41. The second slots 43 are used to allow the steel ball seats 24 to move vertically into the second annular groove 42, and the steel ball seats 24 can rotate around the second annular groove 42. When the multifunctional cover 6 is installed, the steel ball seats 24 enter the second annular groove 42 vertically through the second slots 43. After rotation, the steel balls 25 move along the first annular groove 22. The limiting flange 41 prevents the steel ball seats 24 and the steel balls 25 from falling out.

[0039] This design restricts the axial displacement of the multi-functional cover 6 through a dual-stage sliding groove structure (first and second annular sliding groove openings), preventing it from shaking or falling off during rotation.

[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 As shown, multiple second support bases 51 are evenly distributed along the circumference at the upper end of the circular cover body 7, and the height of the second support bases 51 is equal to that of the first support bases 9.

[0041] Preferably, the first support body 9 and the second support body 51 are each symmetrically arranged in two sets.

[0042] When the multi-functional cover 6 is installed on the base 3, the second support body 51 and the first support body 9 contact the desktop together, forming multi-point support and improving the stability of the device on the desktop.

[0043] Anti-slip pads 91 are provided on the end faces of the first support body 9 and the second support body 51. When the multi-functional cover 6 is installed on the base 3, the anti-slip pads 91 are made of silicone material and come into contact with the desktop to increase friction. On the smooth marble tabletop, the anti-slip pads 91 prevent the equipment from sliding due to slight vibration.

[0044] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 10 As shown, a cavity 61 is provided inside the second support body 51, and the rotary drive device is located in one of the cavities 61. The rotary drive device includes a motor 62, a battery 63, and a control board 64. A first gear 65 is provided on the output shaft of the motor 62. A second gear 66 is rotatably provided inside the cavity 61 and meshes with the first gear 65. A bevel gear 67 is coaxially provided at one end of the second gear 66. A bevel gear ring 68 is provided at the upper end of the end cover 4. The bevel gear 67 protrudes outside the cavity 61 and meshes with the bevel gear ring 68.

[0045] After the motor 62 is started, the first gear 65 drives the second gear 66 and the bevel gear 67 to rotate. The bevel gear 67 meshes with the bevel gear ring 68 on the end cover 4. Since the end cover 4 is fixed, it drives the multi-functional cover 6 to rotate uniformly around the bevel gear ring 68 and the mist outlet 5.

[0046] Furthermore, an annular flange 71 is provided at the upper end of the bevel gear ring 68, and the annular flange 71 abuts against the lower end face of the round cover body 7; when rotating, the annular flange 71 contacts the lower end face of the round cover body 7 to share the weight of the multifunctional cover shell 6.
