Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of landscape design, and more particularly to a viewing machine for curtain-like fluid effects. Background Technology

[0002] Spraying and atomizing devices are widely used in various fields such as cooling, humidification, cleaning, spraying, and landscape display. In the landscape field, curtain-like fluids (including water curtains and mist curtains) with visual appeal and dynamic effects are gradually becoming important ornamental elements in public spaces and home environments. These fluid landscape installations often use nozzles or atomizing components with specific structures to uniformly output liquid as a curtain-like fluid, enhancing visual effects and environmental atmosphere.

[0003] In the existing technology, although nozzles or atomizing devices can achieve atomization, linear water flow, and liquid discharge from slits, they still have the following shortcomings in practical applications: (1) The water flow or mist flow formation effect is unstable, and it is easy to have intermittent or uneven flow rate, which affects the viewing experience; (2) There is a lack of effective water circulation structure, resulting in low water efficiency and the need for frequent water addition or drainage; (3) The device structure is scattered, which is not conducive to integrated design, and the user installation is cumbersome and maintenance is difficult; (4) The viewing structure design is unreasonable, and the water curtain or mist curtain area is usually blocked by structural components, so the user cannot clearly and intuitively appreciate the fluid effect. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a curtain fluid effect viewing machine that can achieve efficient and stable curtain fluid output, has a compact structure, a water circulation system, and provides a curtain fluid viewing window.

[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved as follows:

[0006] A curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine includes a base, a viewing seat, a main unit, and at least one curtain-like fluid effect generator. The main unit includes a base body, a water pump, and a circuit board. The base body is provided with a drain outlet. The water pump is connected to the base body. The upper end of the water pump is connected to the drain outlet. The water pump is installed inside the water pump and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0007] The top of the viewing seat is provided with a water tank, and the bottom of the water tank has a drainage hole. At least one or more curtain-like fluid effect generators are arranged side by side and installed at the drainage hole. The viewing seat has a curtain-like fluid viewing area below the drainage hole. The side wall of the viewing seat corresponding to the curtain-like fluid viewing area is a transparent outer wall.

[0008] The viewing stand sits on the base, the main unit sits on the viewing stand, the drain outlet is connected to the inlet of the water tank, and the lower end of the water pump pipe passes through the viewing stand and extends into the base.

[0009] The water in the tank at the top of the viewing platform forms a curtain of fluid or mist under the action of the curtain fluid effect generator. The curtain of fluid falls into or is guided into the base. The water pump, powered and controlled by the circuit board, pumps the water collected in the base through the water pipe and sends it to the tank through the drain outlet. The water flowing back into the tank is reused by the curtain fluid generator, completing a closed loop cycle. This ensures a continuous and stable water supply to the curtain fluid generator, reduces curtain breaks or flow rate fluctuations caused by water supply interruptions, and reduces the need for external water replenishment and drainage, thus saving water. The curtain fluid generator is placed directly at the drain outlet of the tank, and the side wall of the curtain fluid viewing area is made transparent, so that the formation position of the fluid curtain is aligned with the observation window, avoiding obstruction by structural components and enhancing the viewer's visual continuity and immersion.

[0010] The objective of this invention can also be achieved by the following technical measures:

[0011] Furthermore, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is an atomizing device, which includes a housing, an atomizing component, and a mist guide plate with a hydrophilic surface. The housing is fixedly installed at the drainage hole, and the housing is provided with an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the drainage hole, and the outlet faces the curtain-like fluid viewing area.

[0012] The atomizing component is disposed inside the housing, the atomizing component is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the fog guide plate is disposed outside the outlet and extends vertically to the curtain-shaped fluid viewing area;

[0013] The atomizing component is either an ultrasonic atomizer that atomizes water into fine particles by causing cavitation on the surface of the water through high-frequency oscillation, or a rotary centrifugal atomizer that atomizes water through centrifugal force.

[0014] By using an atomizing device as a curtain-like fluid generator and setting an inlet and outlet on the housing, the mist can be concentrated and directed to the viewing area, improving the uniformity and continuity of the mist curtain and enhancing the thinness and delicacy of the visual effect.

[0015] The fog guide plate has a hydrophilic surface that extends into the viewing area, which can spread the output fine fog droplets evenly along the plate surface, suppressing the unwanted diffusion or turbulence of fog particles, thereby improving the neatness and viewing consistency of the curtain-like fog flow.

[0016] Two options are available: ultrasonic atomization or rotary centrifugal atomization. This allows for flexible adaptation to different droplet sizes and atomization rate requirements, which helps to achieve a better balance between energy consumption, droplet fineness, and visibility.

[0017] Furthermore, the fog guide plate is a flat or curved plate with hydrophilic properties, and the surface of the fog guide plate is provided with guide grooves arranged along the direction of fog flow.

[0018] The outlet is an arc-shaped slit-like channel with an opening width of 10-30mm, and a mist flow straightening plate is provided at the outlet of the arc-shaped slit-like channel to evenly spread the output mist flow onto the surface of the mist guide plate.

[0019] The atomizing component is an ultrasonic atomizer, which includes a piezoelectric ceramic transducer and an atomizing plate. The atomizing plate operates at a frequency of 1.7 MHz, and the atomization rate of the atomizing component is 50-200 ml per hour.

[0020] The surface of the mist guide plate is provided with guiding grooves along the direction of mist flow, which helps to control the droplets to slide down or diffuse along a predetermined trajectory, further improving the smoothness and continuity of the mist flow and reducing irregular aggregation or splashing. The arc-shaped slit-like channel (10–30 mm), in conjunction with the mist flow straightening plate, can straighten the scattered mist flow into a mist layer with controllable width and uniform thickness, enhancing the visual integrity and delicacy of the mist curtain. The limitation of the numerical range helps to achieve stable reproducibility between manufacturing and effect. The limitation of key parameters of the ultrasonic atomizer (such as the frequency of the transducer / atomizing plate and the atomization rate) ensures that the mist particle size and output are within the expected range, which facilitates equipment calibration, energy consumption assessment and product consistency control, thereby improving the reliability and predictability of the user experience in actual use.

[0021] Furthermore, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is a nozzle, which is fixedly installed at the drainage hole. The nozzle has an inlet and an outlet, with the inlet connected to the drainage hole and the outlet facing the curtain-like fluid viewing area.

[0022] The nozzle is equipped with a screen inside to rectify and evenly distribute the incoming water flow, ensuring a stable and continuous water flow. The screen is arranged at the water inlet, and the outlet is an outlet with strip-shaped channels spaced apart.

[0023] By using nozzles as curtain-like fluid generators and arranging screens at the inlet to rectify and evenly distribute the incoming water flow, the flow can be effectively suppressed by large flow velocity fluctuations and flow interruptions caused by air bubbles and impurities. This ensures a stable and continuous output of the water curtain, improving the stability and consistency of the viewing effect. The outlet is an outlet with spaced strip-shaped channels, forming a smooth water curtain effect.

[0024] Furthermore, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is a jetting device, which includes a housing, a pressure water pump for pressurizing and transporting water flow, and a jetting chamber. The housing is fixedly installed at the drainage hole, and the housing has an inlet and an outlet, with the outlet facing the curtain-like fluid viewing area.

[0025] Both the pressure water pump and the jet chamber are located inside the housing. The pressure water pump is electrically connected to the circuit board. The water inlet of the pressure water pump is connected to the water inlet, and the water outlet of the pressure water pump is connected to the inlet of the jet chamber.

[0026] The jet chamber is equipped with a jet plate for directing pressurized water flow into a uniform and continuous curtain-shaped water flow. The jet plate is provided with fan-shaped jet nozzles at intervals, and the fan-shaped jet nozzles are connected to the outlet.

[0027] The spray device integrates a pressure water pump and a spray chamber, allowing water to be pressurized and sprayed out in a predetermined shape within the casing. This is suitable for curtain-like water flow scenarios that require a longer distance or a stronger visual impact. The spray plates are spaced out with fan-shaped nozzles, which, combined with pressurized delivery, can achieve water curtains or specific texture effects with clearer boundaries, expanding the device's expressive power and applicability in landscape design.

[0028] Furthermore, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is a long strip-shaped plate with drainage holes spaced apart along its length. The long strip-shaped plate is fixedly installed at the drainage opening, and the drainage holes are connected to the curtain-like fluid viewing area.

[0029] This design utilizes long, strip-shaped panels with drainage holes spaced along their length. Water is guided downwards by passive gravity and surface tension, forming a regular and uniform long curtain-like flow. The structure is simple, requiring no powered atomization or pump pressure, thus reducing energy consumption and potential failure points. This strip-shaped panel design is easy to manufacture and mass-produce. The spacing and diameter of the drainage holes can be adjusted by design to achieve water curtain effects of varying densities and thicknesses, facilitating the control of scale and visual rhythm in landscape design. The overall structure is stable and easy to clean and maintain, making it suitable for applications sensitive to noise and energy consumption that seek a natural water flow effect.

[0030] Furthermore, it also includes a wet curtain and a water tray. The base is an open and hollow base with an air outlet at the top and a drain outlet at the bottom. The main unit also includes a fan, which is located inside the base cavity and is electrically connected to the circuit board.

[0031] The viewing stand is an open-bottomed and hollow viewing stand, and the water tank is provided on the top of the viewing stand;

[0032] The base is divided into a water storage area and an air intake area. The air intake area is located above the water storage area. The outer wall of the base has air inlets spaced apart from the air intake area.

[0033] The wet curtain is a hollow annular wet curtain with a water inlet hole on its end face. The wet curtain is placed inside the base and is located in the air inlet path.

[0034] The water receiving tray sits on the base, and the water receiving tray has a water outlet corresponding to the position of the wet curtain. The viewing seat is located above the water receiving tray, and the lower end of the water pumping pipe passes through the viewing seat and the water receiving tray and extends into the water storage area of ​​the base.

[0035] By integrating the evaporative cooling pad, water tray, fan, and the water storage / air intake area inside the base, a device with an air handling and circulating water system is formed. This system can simultaneously humidify and cool the incoming air and centrally recycle water, improving environmental regulation and resource utilization efficiency. The hollow annular evaporative cooling pad also helps to prolong the contact time between water and air, improving humidification / cooling efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, it also includes a support frame and a water filter with a height greater than the highest water level in the water storage area. The support frame is placed inside the base, and the wet curtain is placed inside the base and sits on the support frame.

[0037] The water receiving tray has an outlet at its bottom, and the bottom wall of the water receiving tray is inclined toward the outlet. The water receiving tray is provided with a support base, and the support base has an installation cavity and an insertion port for easy passage of a water pumping pipe.

[0038] The water filter is fitted into the mounting cavity, with the inlet and outlet of the water filter facing upwards;

[0039] The viewing stand has a water inlet, and the water tank of the viewing stand has a water outlet.

[0040] When the viewing seat is seated on the base, the water inlet is connected to the inlet of the water filter, and the water outlet is connected to the outlet of the water filter.

[0041] When the main unit is seated on the viewing stand, the drain outlet is connected to the water inlet.

[0042] The support frame ensures the evaporative cooling pad is above the maximum water level, and the water filter pre-treats the circulating water to reduce impurities entering the atomizing unit or nozzles, thus minimizing clogging and equipment wear. The tilted water tray, in conjunction with the support and mounting cavity, enables gravity-driven flow and facilitates the passage of the pumping pipe, optimizing the water return path and simplifying on-site disassembly and maintenance.

[0043] Furthermore, the water filter includes a cover, a bottom box, and a water filter assembly. The cover has an inlet and an outlet for the water filter. A buckle extends downward from the side wall of the cover, and the buckle has a latch. The side wall of the bottom box is provided with a protruding hook.

[0044] The water filtration assembly includes a silver ion layer, an activated carbon layer, a maifan stone layer, and a filter cotton layer. The water filtration assembly is placed inside a bottom box, and the box cover sits on the bottom box. The protruding hooks are inserted into the corresponding snap holes to connect the box cover and the bottom box.

[0045] The mounting cavity is provided with baffles, and the water filter is placed inside the mounting cavity. The baffles abut against the cover to secure the water filter inside the mounting cavity.

[0046] The water filter, specifically comprising a cover, base, and multi-layered filtration components (silver ions, activated carbon, maifan stone, and filter cotton), works synergistically to physically intercept and adsorb organic matter, inhibit bacteria, and improve water quality. This significantly enhances the cleanliness of circulating water, suppresses odors, reduces microbial growth, extends the lifespan of the atomizing / nozzle components, and improves hygiene and safety. The interlocking structure of the cover and base, along with the cooperation of the ribs and hooks within the mounting cavity, ensures reliable positioning and sealing of the water filter. This allows users to quickly disassemble or replace filter cartridges without tools, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. This multi-layered, detachable filter design ensures long-term water quality and equipment stability while also making routine maintenance (filter cartridge replacement and cleaning) more convenient, improving the product's practicality and user acceptance in both public and residential settings.

[0047] Furthermore, the main unit also includes a control panel, which is disposed on the side wall of the base and electrically connected to the circuit board. A transparent plate for observing the water level is provided on the side wall of the base corresponding to the water storage area.

[0048] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0049] This invention, by setting up various curtain-like fluid effect generators such as long strip plates, atomizing devices, nozzles and spraying devices, can be installed individually or side by side at drainage openings to form various forms of curtain-like fluid effects such as water curtains, fog curtains, linear water jets and pressurized water curtains, thereby enhancing the visual diversity and interest of the viewing machine and meeting the aesthetic needs of different users.

[0050] This invention features an internal device with a wet curtain, a water tray, and a base for storing water. After the curtain-like fluid effect is displayed in the viewing area, the falling water flows through the water tray to the wet curtain, ensuring its continuous humidification. Combined with a fan, it can evenly humidify the indoor air while viewing the water feature, thus serving both decorative and air conditioning functions.

[0051] This invention utilizes a main unit's water pump and suction pipe to achieve a closed-loop circulation between the base's water storage area, water filter, water tank, curtain-like fluid effect generator, water receiving tray, and water storage area. The water filter contains a silver ion layer, an activated carbon layer, a maifan stone layer, and a filter cotton layer, effectively removing impurities, inhibiting bacteria and deodorizing, ensuring water quality cleanliness, and extending the device's lifespan.

[0052] This invention adopts a layered structure design of base, viewing seat, and main unit. The viewing seat has a transparent outer wall for easy viewing. The main unit can be directly mounted on the viewing seat. The base and viewing seat are quickly connected through a water inlet and a water outlet. The water filter is detachably connected to the mounting cavity through a buckle, which is convenient for daily cleaning and replacement.

[0053] In this invention, the nozzle-type generator is equipped with a screen at the water inlet, which can rectify and evenly distribute the water flow to ensure a continuous and stable output water curtain; the spraying device pressurizes the water flow through a pressure water pump, which can form a more impactful and three-dimensional curtain-like water curtain; the atomizing device, together with a hydrophilic mist guide plate and a mist flow straightening plate, can evenly spread the mist flow to form a soft and delicate mist curtain effect.

[0054] This invention is equipped with a control panel, which can switch between different water curtain effects and control the fan humidification mode; a transparent plate is set on the side wall of the base, so that users can directly observe the water level in the water storage area and prevent operation when there is a lack of water.

[0085] The water filter 7 is fitted into the mounting cavity 63, with the inlet and outlet of the water filter 7 facing upwards;

[0086] The viewing stand 2 has a water inlet 24, and the water tank 21 of the viewing stand 2 has a water outlet 25.

[0087] When the viewing seat 2 is placed on the base 1, the water inlet 24 is connected to the inlet of the water filter 7, and the water outlet 25 is connected to the outlet of the water filter 7.

[0088] When the host 3 is seated on the viewing seat 2, the drain outlet 311 is connected to the water inlet 24.

[0089] Furthermore, the water filter 7 includes a cover 71, a bottom box 72, and a water filter assembly 73. The cover 71 has an inlet and an outlet for the water filter 7. A buckle 711 extends downward from the side wall of the cover 71, and the buckle 711 has a buckle opening 712. The bottom box 72 has a protrusion 721 on its side wall.

[0090] The water filtration assembly 73 includes a silver ion layer, an activated carbon layer, a maifan stone layer, and a filter cotton layer. The water filtration assembly 73 is placed inside the bottom box 72. The box cover 71 sits on the bottom box 72. The protrusion 721 is inserted into the corresponding buckle 712 to connect the box cover 71 and the bottom box 72.

[0091] The mounting cavity 63 is provided with a baffle 631. The water filter 7 is placed in the mounting cavity 63, and the baffle 631 abuts against the cover 71, so that the water filter 7 is locked in the mounting cavity 63.

[0092] Furthermore, the host 3 also includes a control panel 300, which is disposed on the side wall of the base 31. The control panel 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board. A transparent plate 13 for observing the water level is provided on the side wall of the base 1 corresponding to the water storage area 11.

[0093] Furthermore, the host 3 also includes a control panel 300, which is disposed on the side wall of the base 31. The control panel 300 is electrically connected to the circuit board. A transparent plate 13 for observing the water level is provided on the side wall of the base 1 corresponding to the water storage area 11.

[0094] When using the device, first place the base 1 in a stable position and inject clean tap water into the water storage area 11 until the water level is close to the top of the support frame 10 but does not exceed the maximum water level line. After confirming the water volume, place the wet curtain 5 on the support frame 10, and then place the water receiving tray 6 on the base 1. Next, put the viewing seat 2 on the water receiving tray 6 and sit on the base 1. Then, gently press the viewing seat 2 to automatically connect the water inlet 24 with the inlet of the water filter 7 and the water outlet 25 with the outlet of the water filter 7.

[0095] After the curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine is powered on, the user starts the curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine through the control panel 300. The circuit board drives the water pump 33 to draw water from the water storage area 11 along the water pipe 32, the drain outlet 311 and the water filter 7. After efficiently intercepting impurities, the water flows into the water tank 21 of the viewing base 2, and then forms a water curtain from the drain hole 41 of the long strip plate 4, falling into the water receiving tray 6 and then flowing to the wet curtain 5. The falling water wets the wet curtain 5. At the same time, the fan 34 draws in the surrounding dry air from the air inlet 121 of the base 1, which is evaporated and humidified by the wet curtain 5 to form humid air. The humid air is smoothly sent out along the air outlet 312 on the top of the main unit 3, realizing a quiet, clean and efficient indoor air humidification circulation.

[0096] During operation, users can directly appreciate the water flowing evenly from the bottom of the water tank 21 through the transparent outer wall 22, which falls slowly in the form of a water curtain. The water curtain is vivid and dynamic under the illumination of lights or natural light, accompanied by the sound of flowing water, adding tranquility and beauty to the room, and providing a dual experience of humidification and viewing.

[0097] Example 2, the difference between Example 2 and Example 1 is:

[0098] Example 2, combined with Figures 13 to 14 As shown, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is an atomizing device 8. The atomizing device 8 includes a housing 81, an atomizing component 82, and a mist guide plate 83 with a hydrophilic surface. The housing 81 is fixedly installed at the drainage hole 211. The housing 81 is provided with a water inlet 100 and an outlet 200. The water inlet 100 is connected to the drainage hole 211, and the outlet 200 faces the curtain-like fluid viewing area 23.

[0099] The atomizing component 82 is disposed inside the housing 81, the atomizing component 82 is electrically connected to the circuit board, and the fog guide plate 83 is disposed outside the outlet 200 and extends vertically to the curtain-shaped fluid viewing area 23;

[0100] Furthermore, the fog guide plate 83 is a flat or curved plate with hydrophilic properties, and the surface of the fog guide plate 83 is provided with guide grooves 831 arranged along the direction of fog flow.

[0101] The outlet 200 is an arc-shaped slit-like channel with an opening width of 10-30mm. At the outlet of the arc-shaped slit-like channel, a mist flow straightening plate 84 is provided for evenly spreading the output mist flow onto the surface of the mist guide plate 83.

[0102] The atomizing component 82 is an ultrasonic atomizer, which includes a piezoelectric ceramic transducer and an atomizing plate. The atomizing plate operates at a frequency of 1.7MHz, and the atomization rate of the atomizing component 82 is 50-200 ml per hour.

[0103] After the curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine of Example 2 is powered on, the user starts the device through the control panel 300. The circuit board drives the water pump 33 to transport water from the water storage area 11 to the water tank 21 of the viewing seat 2 through the water pipe 32, the drain outlet 311 and the water filter 7. After being filtered to remove impurities, the water flows into the atomizing device 8 installed at the drain outlet 211. After being powered on, the atomizing component 82 drives the atomizing plate with a high-frequency oscillation of 1.7 MHz, which causes cavitation effect on the surface of the water and quickly atomizes it into fine particles. The mist flows through the arc-shaped slit outlet 200 of the housing 81 and spreads evenly on the surface of the hydrophilic mist guide plate 83 under the action of the mist flow straightener 84.

[0104] The mist guide plate 83 extends vertically to the curtain-like fluid viewing area 23. Its surface guides fine mist droplets along a predetermined path, forming a uniform and continuous curtain-like mist. The droplets fall smoothly to the water collection tray 6 under the influence of gravity and surface tension, and then flow with the water towards the wet curtain 5. The falling water continuously replenishes the wet curtain 5. Under the action of the fan 34, the wet curtain 5 comes into full contact with the inhaled dry air, causing the air to be humidified by evaporation and then silently discharged through the air outlet 312 at the top of the main unit 3, achieving clean and efficient indoor air humidification.

[0105] During operation, users can directly appreciate the fog curtain evenly spread by the fog guide plate 83 through the transparent outer wall 22. The fog presents a soft and flowing light and shadow effect under the reflection of light or natural light, accompanied by fine water vapor and faint water sound, creating a quiet, dynamic and layered visual and sensory experience for the room, while also having the dual functions of humidification and viewing.

[0106] Example 3, the difference between Example 3 and Example 1 is:

[0107] Example 3, combined with Figures 15 to 16 As shown, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is a nozzle 20, which is fixedly installed at the drainage hole 211. The nozzle 20 has an inlet 100 and an outlet 200. The inlet 100 is connected to the drainage hole 211, and the outlet 200 faces the curtain-like fluid viewing area 23.

[0108] The nozzle 20 is equipped with a screen 201 inside for rectifying and uniformly distributing the incoming water flow to ensure a stable and continuous water flow. The screen 201 is arranged at the inlet 100, and the outlet 200 is an outlet 200 with strip channels 202 spaced apart.

[0109] After the curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine in Example 3 is powered on, the user starts the device via the control panel 300. The circuit board drives the water pump 33 to transport water from the water storage area 11 along the water pipe 32, the drain outlet 311, and the water filter 7 to the water tank 21 of the viewing seat 2. After efficiently intercepting impurities, the water flows to the nozzle 20 installed at the drain outlet 211. After entering the nozzle 20, the water first passes through the screen 201 arranged at the water inlet 100. The screen 201 rectifyes and evenly distributes the water flow, eliminating the influence of impurities and air bubbles on the continuity of the water flow, making the water output more stable and smooth.

[0110] The rectified water flow is sprayed out from nozzle 20 and outlet 200, forming a straight and uniform strip-shaped water curtain. Under the action of gravity, this water flow falls smoothly into the water collection tray 6 and then flows further to the wet curtain 5. The falling water continuously wets the wet curtain 5, and the wet curtain 5 works with the fan 34 to evaporate and humidify the dry air drawn in. The humidified air is silently delivered through the air outlet 312 on the top of the main unit 3, achieving a clean and comfortable indoor humidification cycle.

[0111] During operation, users can directly appreciate the regular curtain formed by the water flow sprayed from the nozzles 20 in the air through the transparent outer wall 22. It presents a variety of visual effects under artificial or natural light, accompanied by gentle water sounds, adding dynamic beauty and a relaxing atmosphere to the environment, while achieving a dual experience of humidification and viewing.

[0112] Example 4, the difference between Example 4 and Example 1 is:

[0113] Example 4, combined with Figures 17 to 18 As shown, the curtain-like fluid effect generator is a jetting device 9. The jetting device 9 includes a housing 81, a pressure water pump 92 for pressurizing and transporting water flow, and a jetting chamber 91. The housing 81 is fixedly installed at the drainage hole 211. The housing 81 is provided with an inlet 100 and an outlet 200. The outlet 200 faces the curtain-like fluid viewing area 23.

[0114] The pressure water pump 92 and the jet chamber 91 are both located inside the housing 81. The pressure water pump 92 is electrically connected to the circuit board. The water inlet of the pressure water pump 92 is connected to the water inlet 100, and the water outlet of the pressure water pump 92 is connected to the inlet of the jet chamber 91.

[0115] The jet chamber 91 is provided with a jet plate 911 for directing pressurized water flow into a uniform and continuous curtain-shaped water flow. The jet plate 911 is provided with fan-shaped jet nozzles 912 at intervals, and the fan-shaped jet nozzles 912 are connected to the outlet 200.

[0116] After the curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine in Example 4 is powered on, the user starts the device via the control panel 300. The circuit board drives the water pump 33 in the base 1 to transport water from the water storage area 11 along the water pipe 32, the drain outlet 311, and the water filter 7 to the water tank 21 of the viewing seat 2. The purified water then enters the spray device 9, which is fixedly installed at the drain outlet 211. The pressure water pump 92 inside the spray device 9 pressurizes the water flow a second time after being powered on and delivers the pressurized water to the inlet of the spray chamber 91.

[0117] Inside the spray chamber 91, water is guided to the precisely machined spray plate 911, which is equipped with fan-shaped spray nozzles 912 at intervals. This allows the water to be sprayed out in a high-energy, stable, and uniform manner, directly towards the curtain-like fluid viewing area 23, forming a water curtain with an impactful and three-dimensional effect. The high-speed sprayed water falls to the water collection tray 6 under the influence of gravity, and then flows into the wet curtain 5 through the water outlet 61, achieving continuous water replenishment for the wet curtain 5. Under the action of the fan 34, the wet curtain 5 comes into full contact with the dry air it draws in. Through evaporation, the humidified air is smoothly delivered through the air outlet 312 on the top of the main unit 3, forming a quiet, clean, and efficient indoor humidification cycle.

[0118] During operation, users can directly appreciate the water curtain effect created by the jet device 9 through the transparent outer wall 22. As the pressurized jet water flow lines are clearer, thicker, and more dynamic, the water curtain presents a dynamic change of light and shadow under the reflection of artificial or natural light, accompanied by a more obvious impact of water sound, creating a powerful and dynamic landscape effect for the indoor environment, while providing a dual experience of humidification and viewing.

[0119] Example 5, the difference between Example 5 and Example 1 is:

[0121] The top of the viewing seat 2 is provided with a water tank 21, and the bottom of the water tank 21 is provided with a drainage hole 211. Multiple curtain-like fluid effect generators are arranged side by side and installed at the drainage hole 211. The viewing seat 2 is provided with a curtain-like fluid viewing area 23 below the drainage hole 211. The side wall of the viewing seat 2 corresponding to the curtain-like fluid viewing area 23 is a transparent outer wall 22.

[0122] The viewing seat 2 sits on the base 1, the main unit 3 sits on the viewing seat 2, the drain outlet 311 is connected to the inlet of the water tank 21, and the lower end of the water pump 32 passes through the viewing seat 2 and extends into the base 1.

[0123] The elongated plate 4 of Embodiment 1, the atomizing device 8 of Embodiment 2, the nozzle 20 of Embodiment 3, and the spraying device 9 of Embodiment 4 are installed side by side at the drainage hole 211.

[0124] After the curtain-like fluid effect viewing machine of Example 5 is powered on, the user starts the device through the control panel 300. The circuit board drives the water pump 33 to transport the water in the water storage area 11 of the base 1 along the water pipe 32, the drain outlet 311 and the water filter 7 to the water tank 21 of the viewing seat 2. The purified water flows into the various curtain-like fluid effect generators installed side by side at the drain outlet 211, including the long strip plate 4 of Example 1, the atomizing device 8 of Example 2, the nozzle 20 of Example 3 and the spraying device 9 of Example 4.

[0125] The elongated plate 4 disperses the water flow evenly through the through holes, forming a smooth and beautiful water curtain.

[0126] The atomizing device 8 atomizes part of the water flow into fine water mist, which slides down along the fog guide plate 83, creating a light and hazy fog curtain;

[0127] The nozzle 20 forms regular strips, serrated shapes, or multiple water curtains after being rectified by the screen 201;

[0128] The jetting device 9 uses a pressure water pump 92 to pressurize and spray high-speed water, forming a dynamic water curtain with an impactful and three-dimensional effect.

[0129] Different water flow patterns are displayed in parallel within the curtain-shaped fluid viewing area 23, intertwining and staggered, presenting multi-layered light and shadow changes and water sound effects under the illumination of artificial or natural light.

[0130] All the falling water eventually flows into the drip tray 6 and then onto the evaporative cooling pad 5 for continuous humidification. The evaporative cooling pad 5, in conjunction with the fan 34, humidifies the dry air it draws in and then silently exhausts it through the air outlet 312 on the top of the main unit 3, forming a clean and efficient indoor humidification cycle. During operation, users can enjoy a variety of curtain-like fluid effects simultaneously through the transparent outer wall 22, gaining an immersive experience that combines visual appeal, fun, and functionality.
