[0047] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0048] Combination Figure 1-17As shown, in some embodiments, the humidification device includes: a water storage tank 100, a magnetic metal wet film 200, a heat recovery air duct 300, and an electromagnetic heating module 400. The water storage tank 100 has an air inlet 110 on its side wall; the magnetic metal wet film 200 is disposed inside the water storage tank 100; the heat recovery air duct 300 is disposed on the lower side of the water storage tank 100, and the air outlet of the heat recovery air duct 300 is connected to the air inlet 110; the electromagnetic heating module 400 is disposed inside the heat recovery air duct 300 and located directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200, for heating the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0049] The humidification equipment provided in this embodiment heats the water in the water tank 100 by heating the magnetic metal wet film 200 in the water tank 100 using the electromagnetic heating characteristics of the electromagnetic heating module 400. While heating the water in the water tank 100 using the electromagnetic heating module 400, the heat recovery duct 300 recovers the heat generated by the electromagnetic heating module 400 itself to heat the incoming airflow. By heating the magnetic metal wet film 200 and the water, the incoming airflow for humidification is also heated, increasing the humidification capacity. By recovering and utilizing the heat generated by the electromagnetic heating module 400 itself, the energy consumption of humidification is reduced.

[0050] Optionally, the air inlet 110 is located on the vertical side wall of the water storage tank 100. This allows the lower side of the air inlet 110 to be positioned above the water level in the water storage tank 100, preventing water from flowing out of the water storage tank 100 through the air inlet 110.

[0051] Optionally, the humidifier also includes a base 500. An installation space 510 is defined on the inner side of the base 500. A water tank 100 is disposed within the installation space 510. A heat recovery duct 300 is enclosed by the lower side wall of the water tank 100 and the inner side wall of the base 500. An electromagnetic heating module 400 is disposed on the inner side wall of the base 500. In this way, by installing the water tank 100 inside the base 500, and enclosing the heat recovery duct 300 by the lower side wall of the water tank 100 and the inner wall of the base 500, the electromagnetic heating module 400 can be disposed within the heat recovery duct 300 without the need for a dedicated duct structure, thus reducing costs. The base 500 provides support for the water tank 100 and provides installation space for the electromagnetic heating module 400, improving the stability of the humidifier.

[0052] Optionally, an air guide hood 520 is also provided inside the installation space 510. The air inlet end of the air guide hood 520 is located at the air outlet end of the heat recovery air duct 300, and the air outlet end of the air guide hood 520 is located at the air inlet 110. In this way, since the heat recovery air duct 300 is enclosed by the lower side wall of the water storage tank 100 and the inner wall of the base 500, and the air inlet 110 is located on the vertical side wall of the water storage tank 100, the air guide hood 520 is provided inside the base 500 to guide the heat exchange airflow in the heat recovery air duct 300 to the air inlet 110, thereby reducing the loss of heat exchange airflow in the heat recovery air duct 300.

[0053] Optionally, the air guide shroud 520 is vertically arranged, with its air inlet located in the lower region of its vertical sidewall and its air outlet located in the upper region of its vertical sidewall. In this way, the airflow blown out of the hot return air duct can flow from bottom to top under the action of the air guide shroud 520, thus smoothly flowing into the air inlet 110 and reducing air pressure loss.

[0054] Optionally, a second fan 530 is provided inside the heat recovery duct 300. The second fan 530 is located on the windward side of the electromagnetic heating module 400, and the air outlet of the second fan 530 faces the electromagnetic heating module 400. In this way, by setting the second fan 530 to blow air onto the electromagnetic heating module 400, the heat exchange airflow in the heat recovery duct 300 is made smooth, compensating for the pressure loss of the heat exchange airflow in the heat recovery duct 300, increasing the airflow in the heat recovery duct 300, thereby ensuring the air intake volume of the air inlet 110 connected to the heat recovery duct 300.

[0055] Optionally, the second fan 530 is a centrifugal fan. In this way, the negative pressure generated by the centrifugal fan during operation is larger, further increasing the airflow within the heat recovery duct 300.

[0056] Optionally, such as Figure 1As shown, the electromagnetic heating module 400 includes an electromagnetic coil 410 and an electrical control box 420. The electromagnetic coil 410 is disposed within the heat recovery air duct 300 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200; the electrical control box 420 is disposed within the heat recovery air duct 300 and located to one side of the electromagnetic coil 410. Thus, by changing the direction of the magnetic field generated by energizing the electromagnetic coil 410, the magnetic field in the magnetic metal wet film 200 is changed, thereby generating heat in the magnetic metal wet film 200 to evaporate the water sprayed onto its surface for humidification. Simultaneously, it heats the water in the water tank 100, raising the temperature of the water sprayed onto the surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200, further increasing the humidification rate. The electrical control box 420 can control the energization and de-energization of the electromagnetic coil 410 and adjust the current flowing through the electromagnetic coil 410 according to heating requirements. Both the electromagnetic coil 410 and the electrical control box 420 generate heat during operation. The airflow flowing through the heat recovery duct 300 can simultaneously cool the electromagnetic coil 410 and the electrical control box 420. The heat from the electromagnetic coil 410 and the electrical control box 420 is used to heat the airflow, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0057] Optionally, the electromagnetic heating module 400 further includes a support base 430. The support base 430 is located below the water storage tank 100, the electromagnetic coil 410 is laid on the upper side wall of the support base 430, and the electrical control box 420 is located on the lower side of the support base 430.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the inner wall of the installation space 510 is provided with a slide rail 511, and the outer wall of the water tank 100 is provided with a slide block 120 corresponding to the position of the slide rail 511. The slide block 120 is slidably embedded in the slide rail 511, so that the water tank 100 can be detachably installed in the installation space 510. In this way, the water tank 100 is installed and supported by the cooperation of the slide rail 511 and the slide block 120, so that there is a gap between the lower side wall of the water tank 100 and the inner wall of the base 500, which better encloses the heat recovery air duct 300. When it is necessary to remove the water tank 100 from the installation space 510, the water tank 100 can be efficiently removed by simply pulling it along the length of the slide rail 511.

[0059] Specifically, slide rails 511 are provided on the two opposite vertical inner walls of the installation space 510, and slide blocks 120 are provided on the two opposite vertical side walls of the water storage tank 100. Each slide block 120 is slidably embedded in the corresponding slide rail 511. This makes the water storage tank 100 more stable, the heat recovery air duct 300 enclosed by the lower side wall of the water storage tank 100 and the inner wall of the base 500 more regular, and the circulating heat exchange airflow more uniform.

[0060] Optionally, the lower end of the magnetic metal wet film 200 is immersed in the water tank 100. In this way, with the lower end of the magnetic metal wet film 200 immersed in the water in the water tank 100, the magnetic metal wet film 200 can be heated by the electromagnetic heating module 400 while simultaneously heating the water in the water tank 100.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the humidification device further includes a spray unit 600. The spray unit 600 is positioned above the magnetic metal wet film 200 and is connected to the water storage tank 100, enabling it to draw water from the water storage tank 100 and spray it onto the upper part of the magnetic metal wet film 200. In this way, by drawing heated water from the water storage tank 100 and spraying it onto the heated magnetic metal wet film 200, the water sprayed onto the magnetic metal wet film 200 can evaporate rapidly, increasing the humidification capacity.

[0062] Optionally, the water storage tank 100 has multiple air inlets 110 on its side walls, and the air outlet of the heat recovery air duct 300 is connected to one or more of the multiple air inlets 110. In this way, by setting multiple air inlets 110, the water storage tank 100 can be supplied with air from multiple sides, increasing the air intake of the water storage tank 100, thereby increasing the evaporation rate of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing the humidification capacity. Since the side walls of the water storage tank 100 have multiple air inlets 110, and each air inlet 110 is used for evaporative humidification of the incoming airflow, the airflow from the heat recovery air duct 300 flows towards one or more air inlets 110, thus heating the incoming airflow and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0063] Optionally, the outlet of the heat recovery duct 300 is connected to one of the multiple air inlets 110. In this way, the incoming airflow after heat exchange through the heat recovery duct 300 experiences a certain pressure loss, resulting in a reduced airflow volume compared to the other air inlets 110. Therefore, to ensure sufficient airflow for humidification, the outlet of the heat recovery duct 300 is connected to one air inlet 110, allowing the heat-exchange airflow in the heat recovery duct 300 to concentrate and flow into the water storage tank 100 for evaporative humidification from a single air inlet 110. The other air inlets 110 directly draw air from the external environment. This ensures sufficient airflow for humidification while simultaneously heating the incoming airflow using the heat recovery duct 300, thus guaranteeing the humidification effect.

[0064] Optionally, the magnetic metal wet film 200 is vertically arranged inside the water storage tank 100, and multiple air inlets 110 are located on the outer periphery of the magnetic metal wet film 200. In this way, the airflow from the multiple air inlets 110 can be evenly blown onto the outer wall of the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby increasing the evaporation rate of the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0065] Optionally, the lower edges of the multiple air inlets 110 are all at the same height. This ensures that the air intake height is the same and prevents water in the water tank 100 from flowing out from any one of the air inlets 110.

[0066] Optionally, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the humidification device also includes a water replenishment tank 700. The water replenishment tank 700 is partially embedded within the water storage tank 100. A water replenishment seat 130 is provided on the lower inner wall of the water storage tank 100. A water tank cover 710 of the water replenishment tank 700 is placed within the water replenishment seat 130, allowing the water replenishment tank 700 to communicate with the water storage tank 100 through the water tank cover 710. In this way, water can be automatically replenished to the water storage tank 100 through the water replenishment tank 700. When the liquid level in the water storage tank 100 is lower than the water tank cover 710, external airflow enters the water replenishment tank 700 through the water tank cover 710, causing water in the water replenishment tank 700 to flow into the water storage tank 100 from the water tank cover 710.

[0067] Optionally, the height of the water tank cover 710 is lower than the lower edge of the air inlet 110 in the vertical direction. This ensures that water from the replenishment tank 700 will flow into the water tank 100 through the water tank cover 710 to replenish water when the water level in the water storage tank 100 is lower than the water tank cover 710. Conversely, when the water level in the water storage tank 100 submerges the water tank cover 710, no airflow enters the cover, preventing water from flowing out of the replenishment tank 700. Therefore, the water level in the water storage tank 100 is always maintained at the same level as the upper surface of the water tank cover 710. Setting the height of the lower edge of the air inlet 110 to be higher than the height of the water tank cover 710 ensures that the water level in the water storage tank 100 is always lower than the lower edge of the air inlet 110, preventing water from flowing out of the air inlet 110.

[0068] Optionally, a first fan 140 is provided above the water storage tank 100, and the first fan 140 is located above the magnetic metal wet film 200. The air inlet of the first fan 140 is connected to the internal space of the water storage tank 100. In this way, the operation of the first fan 140 can create a negative pressure inside the water storage tank 100, causing external airflow to flow into the water storage tank 100 through the air inlet 110 and come into contact with the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing the evaporation rate of the magnetic metal wet film 200. The evaporated water vapor is blown out from the air outlet of the first fan 140 with the airflow, realizing the humidification function.

[0069] Optionally, the upper side wall of the water storage tank 100 has an opening, and a cover plate 150 is detachably covered over the opening. A first fan 140 is mounted on the cover plate 150, and the air inlet of the first fan 140 communicates with the internal space of the water storage tank 100 through a connecting opening 151 on the inner side of the cover plate 150. Thus, by covering the opening of the water storage tank 100 with the detachable cover plate 150, the cover plate 150 provides support for the installation of the first fan 140. The magnetic metal wet film 200 can be installed and removed through the opening. When it is necessary to remove or install the magnetic metal wet film 200, the cover plate 150 is removed, thereby opening the opening.

[0070] For example, the lower edge of the cover plate 150 is provided with a buckle or other structure, and the open edge of the water tank 100 is provided with a groove. The cover plate 150 is detachably covered at the open by the cooperation of the buckle and the groove, and is detachably connected to the water tank 100.

[0071] Optionally, a clearance opening is provided on the side wall of the cover plate 150, and the water replenishment tank 700 is partially embedded in the water storage tank 100 through the clearance opening. In this way, the water replenishment tank 700 is embedded in the water storage tank 100 through the clearance opening provided on the cover plate 150, and the water replenishment tank 700 is supported by the cooperation between the side wall of the water storage tank 100 and the cover plate 150.

[0072] Optionally, an annular seat 152 is provided above the connecting port 151. The annular seat 152 has mounting ears on its outer periphery, and the outer periphery of the housing of the first fan 140 has mounting seats corresponding to the mounting ears. The housing of the first fan 140 is installed using screws, the mounting ears, and the mounting seats. The air inlet end cover of the first fan 140 is placed on the annular seat 152. Thus, by using the annular seat 152 above the connecting port 151 to install the first fan 140, the installation stability of the first fan 140 is improved by utilizing the cooperation of screws, mounting ears, and mounting seats, and the housing of the first fan 140 is facilitated for disassembly and maintenance.

[0073] Optionally, the magnetic metal wet film 200 has a cylindrical structure, and the first fan 140 is a centrifugal fan. The air inlet of the centrifugal fan is positioned facing the upper port of the magnetic metal wet film 200, and the axis of the magnetic metal wet film 200 coincides with the axis of the centrifugal fan. In this way, utilizing the axial air intake characteristic of the centrifugal fan, the air inlet of the centrifugal fan is positioned directly above the upper port of the magnetic metal wet film 200. The negative pressure generated by the centrifugal fan can act more evenly within the space containing the magnetic metal wet film 200, allowing the airflow to flow more uniformly through the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby making the evaporation of moisture on the surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200 more uniform and increasing the humidification capacity.

[0074] For example, the air inlet of the centrifugal fan is a circular opening structure and is located on the axial direction of the centrifugal fan. When the centrifugal fan is installed on the annular seat 152, the circular air inlet is adapted to the annular seat 152, so that the negative pressure at the air inlet of the centrifugal fan can better act on the space where the magnetic metal wet film 200 is located.

[0075] Optionally, a heat insulation plate 160 is provided between the electromagnetic heating module 400 and the lower side wall of the water storage tank 100. In this way, by providing heat insulation through the heat insulation plate 160, the heat conduction from the water storage tank 100 to the electromagnetic heating module 400 is reduced, thereby lowering the temperature of the electromagnetic heating module 400 and reducing the risk of the electromagnetic heating module 400 being damaged by high temperature.

[0076] Optionally, the insulation panel 160 can be made of mica sheet. In this way, the mica sheet has a better heat insulation effect.

[0077] Specifically, the heat insulation plate 160 is disposed between the lower side wall of the water storage tank 100 and the electromagnetic coil 410.

[0078] Combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal cylinder 210 and a magnetic metal disk 220. The magnetic metal cylinder 210 is disposed in a water storage tank 100, with its lower end submerged in the water of the water storage tank 100; the magnetic metal disk 220 is disposed in the lower port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 and is located directly above the electromagnetic heating module 400.

[0079] In this embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 is divided into a magnetic metal cylinder 210 and a magnetic metal disk 220. Since the electromagnetic heating module 400 is located below the water tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200, the magnetic metal disk 220 allows for better coordination with the electromagnetic heating module 400. This enables the magnetic metal disk 220 to more efficiently sense changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 400 and generate heat, thus improving the heating efficiency of the electromagnetic heating module 400. Simultaneously, the magnetic metal cylinder 210 can also sense changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 400 and generate heat to heat itself. Since the magnetic metal disc 220 is located inside the lower port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 and is immersed in the water in the water tank 100, the heat generated by the magnetic metal disc 220 is applied to the water in the water tank 100 more efficiently to heat the water. At the same time, the heat from the magnetic metal disc 220 can also be conducted to the magnetic metal cylinder 210 for heating, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing the humidification capacity.

[0080] Optionally, the magnetic metal disk 220 is positioned directly above the electromagnetic coil 410, and the area of ​​the magnetic metal disk 220 is adapted to the area of ​​the electromagnetic coil 410. In this way, under the action of the electromagnetic coil 410, the magnetic metal disk 220 can more efficiently sense changes in the magnetic field to generate heat for heating.

[0081] Optionally, both the magnetic metal disk 220 and the magnetic metal cylinder 210 are made of stainless steel. This allows the magnetic metal disk 220 and the magnetic metal cylinder 210 to generate heat by sensing changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic coil 410, while also improving their corrosion resistance and extending their service life.

[0082] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in another embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal base 230 and magnetic metal strips 240. The magnetic metal base 230 is located directly above the electromagnetic heating module 400; multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are provided, the lower ends of the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are all connected to the magnetic metal base 230, and the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are evenly arranged along the edge of the magnetic metal base 230.

[0083] In this embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 is divided into a magnetic metal base 230 and magnetic metal strips 240. Since the electromagnetic heating module 400 is located below the water tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200, the magnetic metal base 230 better cooperates with the electromagnetic heating module 400, allowing the magnetic metal base 230 to more efficiently sense changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 400 and generate heat, thus improving the heating efficiency of the electromagnetic heating module 400. Multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are evenly arranged along the edge of the magnetic metal base 230 to form a cylindrical cage structure. While sensing changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 400 to generate heat, the heat in the magnetic metal base 230 can be efficiently conducted to the multiple magnetic metal strips 240, accelerating the evaporation of the humidifying water sprayed onto the surface of the magnetic metal strips 240 and increasing the humidification rate. Furthermore, the cage structure composed of multiple magnetic metal strips 240 can increase the adhesion area of ​​the spray water, allowing the airflow to circulate along the gaps of the multiple magnetic metal strips 240, thereby increasing the evaporation and humidification.

[0084] Optionally, the magnetic metal base 230 is immersed in the water in the water tank 100. In this way, the heat generated by the magnetic metal base 230 can be more efficiently conducted to the water for heating, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the water in the water tank 100.

[0085] Optionally, the magnetic metal base 230 has a disc-shaped structure, and multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are evenly arranged along the outer periphery of the magnetic metal base 230 to form a cylindrical structure, with a flow gap 241 defined between adjacent magnetic metal strips 240. In this way, the incoming airflow can flow into the cylindrical cage structure formed by the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 through the flow gap 241, and then flow into the air inlet of the first fan 140 along the upper end of the cylindrical structure. The sprayed humidifying water can also be sprayed into the flow gap 241, thereby increasing the adhesion area of ​​the humidifying water, increasing the amount of incoming airflow, and thus improving the humidification capacity.

[0086] Optionally, the magnetic metal base 230 is located directly above the electromagnetic coil 410, and the area of ​​the magnetic metal base 230 is adapted to the area of ​​the electromagnetic coil 410.

[0087] Optionally, both the magnetic metal base 230 and the magnetic metal strip 240 are made of stainless steel.

[0088] Combination Figure 11 As shown, in one embodiment, the spray unit 600 includes a spray water box 610 and a sponge pad 620. The spray water box 610 is disposed above the magnetic metal wet film 200; the sponge pad 620 covers the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and is located below the spray water box 610; wherein, the water inlet end of the spray water box 610 is connected to the water storage tank 100.

[0089] In this embodiment, the spray unit 600 is divided into a spray water box 610 and a sponge pad 620. The spray water box 610 draws humidifying water from the water storage tank 100 and sprays it towards the sponge pad 620. The humidifying water first wets the sponge pad 620. After the sponge pad 620 becomes saturated with water, the water overflows and flows downwards from the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200, evenly wetting the magnetic metal wet film 200. After being wetted, the magnetic metal wet film 200 uses its own heat to accelerate the evaporation of water. At the same time, under the action of the airflow, the water evaporates rapidly and is discharged with the airflow, improving the evaporation uniformity of the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0090] Optionally, the shape of the sponge pad 620 is adapted to the shape of the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200. This allows the humidifying water overflowing from the sponge pad 620 to flow evenly to the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200, flowing downwards along the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200, and uniformly wetting the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0091] Optionally, the sponge pad 620 is an annular washer structure. Since the magnetic metal wet film 200 is cylindrical and its upper surface is annular, setting the sponge pad 620 to an annular shape allows it to fit more snugly over the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and reduces its impact on the humidifying airflow.

[0092] Optionally, the spray water box 610 is an annular water box, and the lower side wall of the spray water box 610 is provided with multiple drainage holes. The multiple drainage holes are evenly arranged along the lower side wall of the spray water box 610, and each drainage hole is located above the sponge pad 620. In this way, the water in the spray water box 610 can drip evenly onto the sponge pad 620 through the multiple drainage holes, evenly wetting the sponge pad 620, improving the water absorption uniformity of the sponge pad 620, and ensuring that the humidifying water overflowing after the sponge pad 620 is saturated can evenly wet the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0093] Optionally, the lower sidewall of the spray water box 610 abuts against the upper sidewall of the sponge pad 620, and the upper sidewall of the sponge pad 620 blocks multiple drainage holes. This allows water flowing from the drainage holes of the spray water box 610 to be directly absorbed by the sponge pad 620, preventing gaps between the drainage holes and the sponge pad 620 from causing dripping humidifying water to splash out, thus improving the water absorption effect of the sponge pad 620.

[0094] Optionally, such as Figure 12 As shown, an annular sleeve 630 is provided on the lower side of the spray water box 610, and the annular sleeve 630 is fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200. In this way, the annular sleeve 630 can limit the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200, ensuring that the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200 is directly below the spray water box 610, preventing it from shifting. Furthermore, the annular sleeve 630 can also guide the humidifying water overflowing from the sponge pad 620, allowing the humidifying water to flow more precisely downwards along the inner wall of the annular sleeve 630, wetting the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and reducing the risk of humidifying water splashing.

[0095] Combination Figure 13As shown, in a specific embodiment, when the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal disk 220 and a magnetic metal cylinder 210, a flow gap 640 is provided between the spray water box 610 and the cover plate 150 in the vertical direction. Thus, since the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 is airtight in this embodiment, the incoming airflow is blown from the outer peripheral region of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 towards the magnetic metal cylinder 210, and then flows upward along the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 to the upper port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210, entering the air inlet of the first fan 140. Therefore, the flow gap 640 provided between the spray water box 610 and the cover plate 150 allows the airflow flowing to the upper port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 to smoothly flow into the air inlet of the first fan 140 along the flow gap 640.

[0096] Combination Figure 14 As shown, in another specific embodiment, when the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal base 230 and magnetic metal strips 240, the spray water box 610 is disposed at the lower edge of the communication opening 151 of the cover plate 150, and one side of the spray water box 610 is connected to the side wall of the cover plate 150 corresponding to the lower edge of the communication opening 151. Thus, since there are flow gaps 241 between the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 in this embodiment, the incoming airflow can flow into the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200 through the flow gaps 241, and then flow upwards along the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200, finally entering the air inlet of the first fan 140. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spray water box 610 is directly fixed to the lower side wall of the cover plate 150, making the humidifying airflow flowing inside the magnetic metal wet film 200 more concentrated towards the first fan 140, thus improving the humidification effect.

[0097] Combination Figure 15 As shown, in another specific embodiment, when the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal disk 220 and a magnetic metal cylinder 210, the spray water box 610 is disposed at the lower edge of the communication port 151 opened in the cover plate 150, and one side of the spray water box 610 is connected to the side wall of the cover plate 150 corresponding to the lower edge of the communication port 151. Multiple flow holes are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210, and the multiple flow holes are evenly distributed along the outer side wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210. Thus, since the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 in this embodiment has multiple flow holes, the incoming airflow can flow into the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200 through the multiple flow holes, and then flow upward along the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and finally enter the air inlet of the first fan 140. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spray water box 610 is directly fixed to the lower side wall of the cover plate 150, so that the humidifying airflow flowing inside the magnetic metal wet film 200 flows more concentratedly to the first fan 140, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0098] Combination Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, in some embodiments, a water pump 170 is provided on the lower inner wall of the water storage tank 100. The inlet end of the water pump 170 is immersed in the water in the water storage tank 100, and the outlet end of the water pump 170 is connected to the spray section 600 through a connecting pipe 180. In this way, the water pump 170 draws humidifying water from the water storage tank 100 and supplies water to the spray section 600, so that the spray section 600 can continuously spray humidifying water onto the magnetic metal wet film 200, ensuring the normal operation of the humidification work.

[0099] Optionally, the connecting pipe 180 is a flexible tube. This allows the connecting pipe 180 to bend and deform, reducing the risk of breakage.

[0100] Optionally, the water pump 170 is submerged in the water in the water storage tank 100. In this way, the water level in the water storage tank 100 can be used to cool the water pump 170, while the heat generated by the water pump 170 during operation can be used to heat the water in the water storage tank 100, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0101] Optionally, one end of the connecting pipe 180 is connected to the outlet of the water pump 170, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the spray water box 610. In this way, the humidifying water drawn by the water pump 170 is discharged into the spray water box 610 through the connecting pipe 180 to supply water to the spray water box 610.

[0102] Optionally, a temperature sensor 190 is provided in the water inlet area of ​​the water pump 170. In this way, the temperature sensor 190 can detect the water temperature in the water inlet area of ​​the water pump 170, thereby more accurately reflecting the water temperature of the humidifying water sprayed by the spray section 600, and thus accurately controlling the power of the electromagnetic heating module 400 based on the water temperature of the sprayed water, and accurately controlling the humidification amount.
