Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of home appliance technology, specifically to humidification and heating equipment. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, heaters and electric fans have become commonplace. However, prolonged use of heaters or electric fans can lead to dry indoor air, causing discomfort and a feeling of heat. Therefore, humidifying and heating devices that integrate heating and humidification functions have emerged on the market. To make the humidification effect more easily visible to consumers and improve the user's visual experience, researchers have added a flame-like effect to the humidification function. However, existing humidifying and heating devices often have a single airflow direction, limited to the front or top, resulting in limited heating and difficulty in meeting the needs of whole-house heating. Some humidifying and heating devices also suffer from uneven and inconsistent mist output and poor flame-like humidification effects. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a humidification and heating device to solve the problems of existing humidification and heating devices having a single air outlet direction, limited heating effect, difficulty in meeting the heating needs of the whole house, and uneven and unsmooth mist output, as well as poor flame-like humidification effect.
[0004] This invention provides a humidification and heating device, comprising:
[0005] The housing has an air inlet, an air outlet, and a mist outlet, with at least two air outlets that vent air in different directions.
[0006] A heating device is installed inside the housing. The heating device can generate warm air and deliver it to at least two air outlets.
[0007] The humidification device is installed inside the housing. The humidification device can deliver the generated mist to the mist outlet and create a mist effect that simulates a flame at the mist outlet.
[0008] The humidifier has a mist outlet that connects to the mist outlet, and the centerline of the mist outlet is aligned with the centerline of the mist outlet.
[0009] Beneficial effects: By setting at least two air outlets on the casing, warm air can be directed in different directions, expanding the heat dissipation range of the humidification and heating equipment, allowing the entire room to heat up quickly and meet the heating needs of the whole house. Furthermore, by aligning the center line of the mist outlet of the humidifier with the center line of the mist outlet of the casing, the mist outlet and mist outlet are centered, resulting in smoother and more uniform mist output. This leads to a better dynamic effect of the mist simulating flames, enhancing the user's visual experience and effectively solving the problem of misalignment between the mist outlet of the casing and the mist outlet of the humidifier, which obstructs the mist and causes poor mist output.
[0010] In one alternative implementation, the cross-sectional area of the mist outlet is larger than the cross-sectional area of the mist outlet.
[0011] Beneficial effect: The mist outlet is larger than the mist exit, which allows the mist exit to be fully exposed, avoiding the problem of the mist outlet being too small and blocking the mist exit, resulting in poor mist output.
[0012] In one optional implementation, both the mist outlet and the mist exit are strip-shaped openings;
[0013] The width of the mist outlet is smaller than the width of the mist outlet, and the center lines of the mist outlet and the mist outlet are aligned in the width direction.
[0014] Beneficial effects: Both the mist outlet and the mist exit are strip-shaped openings along the length of the housing. The length of the mist exit matches the length of the mist outlet, and the width of the mist outlet is smaller than the width of the mist outlet. The mist outlet and the mist exit are centered and aligned in the width direction of the housing. This design ensures that after assembly, the mist coming out of the mist outlet of the humidifier can pass smoothly through the mist outlet on the housing without being blocked, resulting in smoother and more uniform mist output. It also ensures that the mist is centered, has a good mist output effect, improves the simulated flame effect, and provides a better user experience.
[0015] In one optional implementation, an interface structure is provided at the mist outlet;
[0016] The outer periphery of the mist outlet is provided with a support flange, and a limit stop is provided on the support flange;
[0017] The limiting stop and the supporting flange enclose each other to form a limiting step, and the interface structure is inserted and positioned in the limiting step.
[0018] Beneficial effects: By plugging the interface structure into the limiting step, the mist outlet and the mist outlet can be positioned, limiting their relative positions and further improving the stability of their coordination. This ensures that the mist outlet and the mist outlet are always aligned with the centerline in the width direction, avoiding misalignment that could lead to poor mist output, affecting the uniformity of mist output and resulting in poor flame-like humidification.
[0019] In one alternative embodiment, the humidification device includes:
[0020] The mist outlet assembly has a mist outlet and is connected to the side wall of the housing where the mist outlet is located.
[0021] Beneficial effects: By connecting the misting component to the side wall of the housing with the mist outlet, the freedom of the misting component can be restricted, the stability of the mist outlet and the mist outlet can be improved, and the mist outlet and the mist outlet can be prevented from separating.
[0022] In one alternative embodiment, the mist outlet is located on the top wall of the housing, and the mist outlet assembly is snapped and fixed to the top wall of the housing.
[0023] Beneficial effects: The misting component is snapped and fixed to the top wall of the housing, which can restrict the vertical freedom of the misting component and ensure that the mist outlet and the mist outlet can be stably connected.
[0024] In one alternative embodiment, a support rib is provided inside the mist outlet, and the support rib is supported and connected between the two opposite edges in the width direction of the mist outlet.
[0025] Beneficial effects: The supporting ribs can provide some support to the mist outlet, ensuring that the mist outlet will not be deformed inward, affecting mist output, and avoiding the problem of the mist outlet being too long and easily deformed.
[0026] In one alternative embodiment, the support ribs are multiple, and the multiple support ribs are spaced apart along the length direction of the mist outlet.
[0027] Beneficial effects: By setting multiple support ribs, the support and anti-deformation effect is further improved, so that no part of the mist outlet will deform or shrink in any direction along its length.
[0028] In one alternative implementation, the air outlet includes:
[0029] The first air outlet is located at the bottom of the side wall of the housing. A first air duct is formed inside the housing, which connects the warm air outlet of the heating device and the first air outlet.
[0030] The second air outlet is located on the top wall of the housing. A second air duct is formed inside the housing, which connects the warm air outlet of the heating device and the second air outlet.
[0031] Beneficial effects: The first air outlet is located at the bottom of the side wall of the shell, and the second air outlet is located at the top wall of the shell. This allows for simultaneous airflow from both the top and sides. The hot airflow from the side heats the bottom through axial airflow and slowly sends heat upwards via natural convection. The hot airflow from the top enhances the upward heat transfer rate, thereby increasing the overall heat output and expanding the heat dissipation range of the humidification and heating equipment. This allows for greater heat diffusion, meeting the user's need for simultaneous heating of the feet and body, improving indoor comfort, and satisfying the need for whole-house heating.
[0032] In one alternative embodiment, the humidifying and heating device further includes:
[0033] The flow splitting structure, located at the warm air outlet, is used to divide the warm air coming out of the warm air outlet into two airflows that are respectively connected to the first air outlet and the second air outlet.
[0034] Beneficial effects: The diversion structure can split the airflow from the warm air outlet into two streams that connect to the first and second air outlets respectively. This allows for simultaneous airflow from both the top and sides with almost no loss of airflow. The hot airflow from the side provides axial airflow to heat the bottom and slowly delivers heat upwards through natural convection. The hot airflow from the top enhances the upward heat transfer rate, thereby increasing the overall heat output, expanding the heat dissipation range, achieving carpet-like heating, accelerating indoor air convection, and realizing whole-house heating.
[0035] In one alternative implementation, the humidifying and heating device is a heater or a fan heater. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0090] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0091] Existing humidification and heating equipment has a single air outlet direction, limited to front or top air outlet, resulting in limited heating effect and difficulty in meeting the heating needs of the whole house. The mist outlet components of some humidification and heating equipment are prone to misalignment, resulting in uneven mist outlet and affecting the uniformity of mist outlet, and the flame-simulated humidification effect is not good.
[0092] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 23 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.
[0093] According to embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the present invention provides a humidifying and heating device, including a housing 10, a warm air device 20, and a humidifying device 30. The housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 130, an air outlet, and a mist outlet 120. There are at least two air outlets, which emit air in different directions. The warm air device 20 is disposed inside the housing 10 and can generate warm air and deliver it to at least two air outlets respectively. The humidifying device 30 is disposed inside the housing 10 and can deliver the generated mist to the mist outlet 120, forming a simulated flame mist effect at the mist outlet 120. The humidifying device 30 has a mist outlet 301 that is connected to the mist outlet 120, and the centerline of the mist outlet 301 is aligned with the centerline of the mist outlet 120.
[0094] In the above embodiments, by providing at least two air outlets on the housing 10, warm air can be emitted in different directions, expanding the heat dissipation range of the humidification and heating device, enabling the entire room to heat up quickly and meet the heating needs of the whole house. Furthermore, by aligning the centerline of the mist outlet 301 of the humidification device 30 with the centerline of the housing 10, the mist output becomes smoother and more uniform, resulting in a better dynamic effect of the simulated flame emitted from the mist outlet 120, enhancing the user's visual experience. This effectively solves the problem of misalignment between the mist outlet 120 of the housing 10 and the mist outlet 301 of the humidification device 30, which obstructs the mist and causes poor mist output.
[0095] In some embodiments, the cross-sectional area of the mist outlet 120 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the mist outlet 301.
[0096] In the above embodiment, the mist outlet 120 is larger than the mist outlet 301, which allows the mist outlet 301 to be fully exposed, avoiding the problem of the mist outlet 120 being too small and blocking the mist outlet 301, resulting in poor mist output.
[0097] It should be explained that in this embodiment, "flow cross section" refers to a cross section that is orthogonal to all the streamlines of the mist flowing out from the mist outlet 120 or the mist outlet 301, that is, a surface perpendicular to the mist flow velocity family.
[0098] In some embodiments, both the mist outlet 120 and the mist outlet 301 are strip-shaped openings; the width of the mist outlet 301 is smaller than the width of the mist outlet 120, and the center lines of the mist outlet 301 and the mist outlet 120 are aligned in the width direction.
[0099] In the above embodiment, both the mist outlet 120 and the mist outlet 301 are strip-shaped openings along the length of the housing 10. The length of the mist outlet 301 matches the length of the mist outlet 120, and the width of the mist outlet 301 is smaller than the width of the mist outlet 120. The mist outlet 301 and the mist outlet 120 are centered and aligned in the width direction of the housing 10. Through the above design, it is ensured that after assembly, the mist coming out of the mist outlet 301 of the humidifier 30 can pass smoothly through the mist outlet 120 on the housing 10 without being blocked. The mist output is smoother and more uniform, ensuring that the mist output is centered, the mist output effect is good, the simulated flame effect is improved, and the user experience is better.
[0100] Specifically, in combination Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the width of the mist outlet 301 is W1, and the width of the mist outlet 120 is W2, where W1 is smaller than W2. Preferably, W1 is between 3.5mm and 4.5mm, and W2 is between 5.5mm and 6.5mm. More preferably, W1 = 3.9mm and W2 = 6.2mm. The length of the mist outlet 301 is less than or equal to the length of the mist outlet 120.
[0101] In some embodiments, an interface structure 121 is provided at the mist outlet 120; a support flange 3011 is provided on the outer periphery of the mist outlet 301, and a limiting stop 3012 is provided on the support flange 3011; the limiting stop 3012 and the support flange 3011 enclose each other to form a limiting step, and the interface structure 121 is inserted and positioned in the limiting step.
[0102] In the above embodiment, by inserting the interface structure 121 into the limiting step, the mist outlet 120 and the mist outlet 301 can be positioned, limiting their relative positions and further improving the stability of their cooperation. This ensures that the mist outlet 120 and the mist outlet 301 are always aligned with the centerline in the width direction, avoiding misalignment that could lead to poor mist output, affecting the uniformity of mist output and resulting in poor flame-like humidification.
[0103] Specifically, in this embodiment, the edge of the mist outlet 120 extends inward toward the interior of the housing 10 to form an interface structure 121; the edge of the mist outlet 301 extends outward to form a supporting flange 3011. The interface structure 121 can be formed by extending from the two elongated edges of the mist outlet 120, or it can be formed by extending from the entire circumferential edge of the mist outlet 120. The supporting flange 3011 can be formed by extending from the two elongated edges of the mist outlet 301, or it can be formed from extending from the entire circumferential edge of the mist outlet 301. The limiting stop 3012 and the supporting flange 3011 are annular, or they can be plate-shaped extending along the length direction of the mist outlet 301.
[0104] Furthermore, the mist outlet 120 is located on the top wall of the housing 10. The edge of the mist outlet 120 extends downward to form an annular interface structure 121. The interface structure 121 and the limiting step can restrict the horizontal freedom of the mist outlet 301 and the mist outlet 120. The circumferential edge of the mist outlet 301 extends horizontally outward to form a supporting flange 3011. The limiting flange 3012 is annular and located on the top surface of the supporting flange 3011. The limiting flange 3012 and the supporting flange 3011 are perpendicular. The inner circumferential wall of the limiting flange 3012 and the top wall of the supporting flange 3011 enclose an annular limiting step with an L-shaped cross section. The interface structure 121 is inserted and positioned in the limiting step. The shape of the outer circumferential wall of the interface structure 121 is consistent with the shape of the inner circumferential wall of the limiting flange 3012, and its size is equal to or slightly smaller than the size of the inner circumferential wall of the limiting flange 3012.
[0105] Furthermore, the limiting stop 3012 can support the outer edge of the flange 3011 to bend upward and extend, or the limiting stop 3012 can be fixedly installed on the top wall of the flange 3011.
[0106] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the humidification device 30 includes a mist outlet assembly 31, which has a mist outlet 301. The mist outlet assembly 31 is snapped onto the side wall of the housing 10 where the mist outlet 120 is located.
[0107] In the above embodiment, by snapping the mist-emitting component 31 onto the side wall of the housing 10 where the mist outlet 120 is located, the degree of freedom of the mist-emitting component 31 can be restricted, improving the stability of the fit between the mist outlet 301 and the mist outlet 120, and preventing the mist outlet 301 and the mist outlet 120 from detaching. Furthermore, the mist-emitting component 31 is fixed to the housing 10 by snapping, making assembly and disassembly very convenient and quick.
[0108] Specifically, the mist-emitting assembly 31 includes a mist-emitting shell 311 with a mist-emitting channel inside. A mist outlet 301 is located on the top wall of the mist-emitting shell 311. The mist-emitting assembly 31 also includes a light-emitting structure 312 and a return channel 313. The light-emitting structure 312 is integrated into the mist-emitting shell 311, and the return channel 313 is located below the mist-emitting shell 311 to collect condensate generated by the humidifier 30. The humidifier 30 also includes an atomizing assembly 32, which includes a fan, an atomizing structure, a water tank, a water reservoir, and a mist collection hood. When the entire unit is turned on in humidification mode, the fan and humidification structure start, and the mist collection hood gathers the mist. Under the action of the fan, the mist flows from the mist collection hood to the mist-emitting assembly 31 and exits from the mist outlet 120. The mist is illuminated by the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 312, thus creating a flame effect. The return trough 313 has a mist inlet 3131 at one end connected to the water tank. The condensate generated during the humidification and misting process will fall into the return trough 313 and flow back into the water tank on the side of the mist inlet end, so that the ground does not fall into the water and there is no water accumulation inside the humidification device 30.
[0109] In some embodiments, the mist outlet 120 is located on the top wall of the housing 10, and the mist outlet assembly 31 is snapped and fixed on the top wall of the housing 10.
[0110] In the above embodiment, the misting component 31 is snapped and fixed on the top wall of the housing 10, which can restrict the vertical freedom of the misting component 31 and ensure that the mist outlet 120 and the mist outlet 301 can be stably connected.
[0111] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 as well as Figures 17 to 20 As shown, the misting assembly 31 includes a misting shell 311, on the top wall of which a misting port 120 is formed. The misting port 120 is a strip-shaped opening formed along the length direction of the shell 10 on the top wall of the shell 10, and the misting port 120 is located at the middle position in the width direction of the shell 10. Multiple retaining platforms 3110 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on both sides of the misting shell 311, and multiple latches 122 are correspondingly arranged on the top wall of the shell 10. The multiple latches 122 are distributed on both sides of the misting port 120, and the latches 122 are connected to the retaining platform latches 122 to restrict the vertical freedom of the misting assembly 31.
[0112] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 4 as well as Figures 17 to 20 As shown, four locking platforms 3110 are respectively provided on both sides of the mist outlet shell 311, and eight buckles 122 are correspondingly provided on the top wall of the shell 10. The eight buckles 122 are evenly distributed on both sides of the mist outlet 120.
[0113] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 21 As shown, a support rib 3013 is provided inside the mist outlet 301. The support rib 3013 is connected between the two opposite edges in the width direction of the mist outlet 301. The support rib 3013 provides support for the mist outlet 301, ensuring that the mist outlet 301 will not deform inward, affecting mist output and avoiding the problem of the mist outlet 301 being too long and prone to deformation.
[0114] In some embodiments, there are multiple support ribs 3013, and the multiple support ribs 3013 are spaced apart along the length direction of the mist outlet 301.
[0115] In the above embodiment, the multiple support ribs 3013 further improve the support and anti-deformation effect, so that no part of the entire mist outlet 120 will deform and shrink in any direction.
[0116] Specifically, the mist outlet 301 is a strip-shaped opening, and multiple support ribs 3013 are evenly spaced along the length of the mist outlet 301. The mist outlet 301 includes two long strips, and the support ribs 3013 are connected between the two long strips to prevent the two long strips from shrinking and deforming.
[0117] In some embodiments, the air outlet includes a first air outlet 101 and a second air outlet 102. The first air outlet 101 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the housing 10. A first air duct is formed inside the housing 10, and the first air duct connects the warm air outlet 202 of the heating device 20 and the first air outlet 101. The second air outlet 102 is located on the top wall of the housing 10, and a second air duct is formed inside the housing 10, and the second air duct connects the warm air outlet 202 of the heating device 20 and the second air outlet 102.
[0118] In the above embodiment, the first air outlet 101 is located at the bottom of the side wall of the housing 10, and the second air outlet 102 is located at the top wall of the housing 10. This enables the simultaneous airflow from both the top and the sides. The hot airflow from the sides heats the bottom through axial airflow and slowly sends heat upwards via natural convection. The hot airflow from the top enhances the upward heat transfer rate, thereby increasing the overall heat output and expanding the heat dissipation range of the humidification and heating device. This allows for greater heat diffusion, meeting the user's need for simultaneous heating of the feet and body, improving the comfort of the indoor environment, and satisfying the need for whole-house heating.
[0119] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102 can also be arranged on the opposite side walls of the housing 10, and the number of air outlets is not limited to two, but can also be three, four or more.
[0120] Furthermore, the first air outlet 101 is located on the front side wall of the housing 10. The housing body includes a bottom plate 14, a front plate 11, a rear plate 13, and left and right side plates. The bottom of the front plate 11 is equipped with a first air outlet grille 111, and the rear plate 13 is provided with an air inlet 130. The air inlet 130 communicates with the external space and is used to introduce external air into the housing 10 for heating, and then deliver it to the impeller 21 assembly.
[0121] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the humidifying and heating equipment also includes a diversion structure 100, which is located at the warm air outlet 202 and is used to divide the warm air coming out of the warm air outlet 202 into two airflows that are respectively connected to the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102.
[0122] In the above embodiment, the airflow from the warm air outlet 202 can be divided into two airflows that are connected to the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102 respectively by the set diversion structure 100. This achieves the effect of simultaneous airflow from the top and sides with almost no loss of airflow. The hot airflow from the side heats the bottom through axial airflow and slowly sends heat upward through natural convection. The hot airflow from the top can enhance the upward heat transfer rate, thereby increasing the overall heat and expanding the heat dissipation range, achieving carpet-like heating, accelerating indoor air convection, and achieving whole-house heating.
[0123] In some embodiments, the diversion structure 100 is integrally formed with the housing 10.
[0124] In the above embodiments, the flow diversion structure 100, by adopting a design that is integrally formed with the housing 10, can make the airflow more stable, reduce the vortex effect, thereby significantly reducing whistling and noise, improving the user experience, and avoiding the problem of increased vortex effect and greater noise in the air duct caused by the assembly and connection of the flow diversion structure 100 and the housing 10.
[0125] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a housing body and a first air outlet grille 111, which is disposed on the side of the housing body near the warm air outlet 202. The grille gap of the first air outlet grille 111 forms a first air outlet 101. The diversion structure 100 is integrally formed with the first air outlet grille 111.
[0126] In the above embodiments, by integrally molding the diversion structure 100 with the first air outlet grille 111, it is more convenient to process, mold, disassemble and maintain than to integrally mold the diversion structure 100 with the shell body.
[0127] Specifically, the first air outlet grille 111 is detachably mounted on the housing body for easy cleaning and maintenance. A mounting opening is provided at the bottom of the front panel 11 of the housing body, and the first air outlet grille 111 is detachably mounted at this mounting opening. Optionally, the first air outlet grille 111 is mounted and fixed to the housing body using screws, clips 122, interference fits, or other methods. The first air outlet grille 111 and the air diversion structure 100 are integrally injection molded. Alternatively, in an alternative embodiment, the air diversion structure 100 can also be integrally molded with the front panel 11 of the housing body.
[0128] In some embodiments, the housing 10 further includes a second air outlet grille 12, which is disposed on the top of the housing body. Preferably, the second air outlet grille 12 forms the top wall of the housing 10, and at least a portion of the grille gaps of the second air outlet grille 12 form a second air outlet 102. A mist outlet 120 is provided at the middle position of the second air outlet grille 12. The second air outlet 102 is located on the side of the mist outlet 120 near the first air outlet 101.
[0129] Furthermore, combined Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first air outlet grille 111 has a first warm air outlet area a, and the grille gaps in the first warm air outlet area form the first air outlet 101. The second air outlet grille 12 has a second warm air outlet area b, and the grille gaps in the second warm air outlet area form the second air outlet 102. The ratio of the area of the second warm air outlet area b to the area of the first warm air outlet area a is approximately 1.1:1.0, meaning that the top air outlet area is slightly larger than the bottom air outlet area. This design allows heat to be blown out in both upward and forward directions after being divided by the diversion structure 100. 20% of the heat from the top passes through the larger air outlet area, resulting in less heat output per unit area, a lower and more uniform surface temperature, and a non-scalding upper surface. The bottom, being a horizontal heat transfer surface and not in direct human contact, has 80% of its heat transferred forward, changing the direction of heat flow and achieving a three-dimensional heating effect throughout the room.
[0130] In some embodiments, the diversion structure 100 includes a diversion plate arranged laterally at the warm air outlet 202. The first air outlet grille 111 includes a plurality of grille bars arranged at intervals in a vertical direction, and the diversion plate is formed by extending from the topmost grille bar.
[0131] Specifically, the diverter is arranged horizontally and is a plate-like structure formed by the upper end of the first air outlet grille 111 protruding inward. It can divide the airflow drawn from the warm air outlet 202 into two airflows, front and upper. The diverter is formed by extending the topmost grille strip, so that the entire first air outlet 101 is located below the diverter. This allows all the air below the diverter to flow to the first air outlet 101 after being diverted by the diverter, and all the air above to flow to the second air outlet 102. This ensures the diversion effect, reduces airflow loss, and avoids the problem of airflow loss caused by the remixing of the diverted airflow. At the same time, placing the diverter above the first air outlet 101 can also improve airflow stability and reduce whistling noise.
[0132] In one alternative embodiment, the diversion structure 100 includes a baffle portion 1001, wherein the topmost grille bar of the first air outlet grille 111 extends horizontally, or extends obliquely upward, or extends obliquely downward to form the baffle portion 1001.
[0133] In one optional embodiment, the diversion structure 100 includes a baffle portion 1001 and a support portion 1002. The support portion 1002 is formed by the upward extension of the side edge of the grille bar near the heating device 20, and the baffle portion 1001 is formed by the extension of the upper end of the support portion 1002 towards the direction near the heating device 20.
[0134] In the above embodiment, the flow divider, through the design of the baffle 1001, can block the airflow from the warm air outlet 202, thereby preventing all the airflow from flowing to the second air outlet 102, allowing some airflow to reach the first air outlet 101, thus achieving the effect of simultaneous airflow from both the top and front sides. Furthermore, through the design of the support 1002, the support 1002 can support the baffle 1001 at a set height above the first air outlet 101, ensuring a certain distance between the baffle 1001 and the upper edge of the first air outlet 101, preventing the baffle 1001 from being too close to the upper edge of the first air outlet 101 and affecting airflow.
[0135] In this embodiment, the baffle 1001 is arranged laterally at the warm air outlet 202. Preferably, the baffle 1001 is higher than the warm air outlet 202.
[0136] In some embodiments, the flow-blocking portion 1001 is horizontally arranged and is formed by horizontally extending grid bars. The grid bars extend vertically upward from one edge near the impeller 21 assembly to form a support portion 1002. The flow-blocking portion 1001 is formed by horizontally extending from the upper end of the support portion 1002 towards the impeller 21 assembly. The support portion 1002 is a vertical plate structure, and the flow-blocking portion 1001 is a horizontal plate structure. The support portion 1002 and the flow-blocking portion 1001 form an L-shaped plate structure.
[0137] In other alternative embodiments, the baffle 1001 is inclined and has an inclined plate-like structure. The baffle 1001 gradually tilts upward from the first air outlet 101 toward the warm air outlet 202, and gradually tilts downward from the first air outlet 101 toward the warm air outlet 202. The upper end of the support 1002 extends gradually upward or downward toward the impeller 21 assembly to form the baffle 1001.
[0138] Preferably, a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided between the support portion 1002 and the topmost grille bar, and the plurality of reinforcing ribs are spaced apart along the length of the grille bar. The reinforcing ribs can increase the stability of the baffle structure, thereby ensuring the stability of the airflow and reducing the whistling noise.
[0139] In one alternative implementation, the manifold is not lower than the highest edge of the warm air outlet 202 of the heating device 20.
[0140] In the above embodiments, by setting the diverter plate to be higher than or equal to the highest edge of the warm air outlet 202 of the heating device 20, the whistling sound is smaller compared to setting the diverter plate below the highest edge of the warm air outlet 202 of the heating device 20, which can effectively reduce the noise when the humidifying and heating equipment is working and provide a better user experience.
[0141] Preferably, the diverter plate is higher than the highest edge of the warm air outlet 202.
[0142] In some embodiments, the heating device 20 includes a fan wheel 21 assembly, which includes a fan wheel 21 and a volute tongue 22 and a volute shell 23 spaced circumferentially around the outer periphery of the fan wheel 21. The spaced intervals on both sides of the volute tongue 22 and the volute shell 23 respectively form a heating air inlet 201 and a heating air outlet 202.
[0143] In some embodiments, the heating device 20 further includes a heating assembly, which includes a heating element 24 disposed on the air inlet side of the impeller 21 assembly, and the projections of the heating element 24 and the impeller 21 in the height direction of the housing 10 at least partially overlap.
[0144] In the above embodiments, by arranging the heating element 24 on the air inlet side of the fan wheel 21 and at least partially overlapping the heating element 24 with the fan wheel 21 in the vertical direction, the compactness of the humidification and heating equipment in the horizontal direction can be effectively guaranteed, that is, the width will not be too large, thereby improving the compactness of the humidification and heating equipment structure, which is more conducive to the miniaturization design of the humidification and heating equipment and reducing the floor space.
[0145] Specifically, the heating element 24 is located above the impeller 21. The heating assembly also includes an air inlet channel, which connects the air inlet 130 and the warm air inlet 201 of the housing 10. The heating element 24 has an air inlet channel for heating the air entering from the air inlet 130. The air inlet channel includes an upper air inlet cover 25 and a lower air inlet cover 26. The upper air inlet cover 25 is located above the heating element 24, and the lower air inlet cover 26 is located below the heating element 24. The upper air inlet cover 25 and the lower air inlet cover 26 together form the air inlet channel. Cold air passes through the air inlet 130, penetrates the heating element 24, and is heated. Then, it passes through the impeller 21 and is divided by the diversion structure 100 at the warm air outlet 202, distributing heat in both horizontal and vertical directions to achieve carpet-like heating, accelerate indoor air convection, and achieve whole-house heating.
[0146] This application integrates a heating component, a fan wheel 21 component, and a distribution structure 100 into a heating product. The control system starts a DC motor to drive the fan wheel 21 to rotate, and the control system also starts the heating element 24 to work. Cold air enters from the air inlet 130 of the whole unit, passes through the heating element 24 and is heated to form warm air, which is then delivered to the fan wheel 21 component. The heat of the warm air coming out of the air outlet of the fan wheel 21 component is divided in the distribution structure 100 and sent to two directions, horizontal and vertical. Part of the heat is blown out from the first air outlet grille 111 at the bottom to achieve carpet-like heating, with warmth starting from the feet; the other part of the heat is blown out from the second air outlet grille 12 at the top to accelerate indoor air convection and achieve whole-house heating.
[0147] In some embodiments, a fogging assembly 31 has a fogging channel formed therein. The fogging assembly 31 is provided with a fog inlet 3131 and a fog outlet 301. The fogging channel connects the fog inlet 3131 and the fog outlet 301. The fogging assembly 31 also includes a fog guiding structure disposed in the fogging channel. The fog guiding structure can divide the fog introduced by the fog inlet 3131 and diffused longitudinally along the fogging channel into at least two fog clusters and then discharged from the fog outlet 301.
[0148] In the above embodiments, the fog guiding structure can divide the fog introduced into the fog inlet 3131 and longitudinally diffused along the fog outlet channel into at least two fog clusters before being discharged from the fog outlet 301. This prevents the fog from being directly blown to the side away from the fog inlet 3131, resulting in less fog near the fog inlet 3131, thus improving the fog uniformity of the humidifier 30. In dry winter environments, the heater can effectively increase the relative humidity of the air, improving user satisfaction. During the longitudinal diffusion of fog, without a fog guiding structure, most of the fog would be directly blown to the side away from the fog inlet 3131 by the wind. The fog density on the side away from the fog inlet 3131 would be higher, while the fog density near the fog inlet 3131 would be lower, resulting in uneven fog output. With the fog guiding structure, the fog is blocked and divided after entering the fog outlet channel, preventing the fog from being blown to the side away from the fog inlet 3131, thus improving the fog uniformity.
[0149] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 13 As shown, the fogging assembly 31 includes:
[0150] The mist outlet 311 includes an air guide cover 3111 and an air cover 3112, which are detachably connected. The mist outlet 301 is formed on the top of the air guide cover 3111. The structure of the air guide cover 3111 is described in [reference needed]. Figure 14 The structure of the mist outlet 301 is shown in the figure. Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Figure 21 ;
[0151] A return channel 313 is provided on the bottom side of the mist outlet shell 311, and a mist inlet 3131 is provided at one end of the return channel 313; a mist outlet channel is formed between the mist outlet shell 311 and the return channel 313.
[0152] A mist outlet channel is formed between the mist outlet shell 311 and the return channel 313 for the transport and discharge of mist. It has few parts and a simple structure. The return channel 313 can collect the condensate formed at the mist outlet 301, which is convenient for recycling and reuse.
[0153] In some embodiments, the fog guiding structure is disposed on the air guide cover 3111 and / or the return groove 313.
[0154] The fog guiding structure is set on the air guide cover plate 3111 and / or the return groove 313, which further simplifies the structure and makes the assembly process simple. The fog guiding structure set on the air guide cover plate 3111 and / or the return groove 313 can directly contact and guide the fog in the fog outlet channel, resulting in a good fog guiding effect.
[0155] In some embodiments, such as Figure 12As shown, the fog outlet channel includes:
[0156] The diffusion channel 3101 (the part outlined by the cyan dashed line in the figure) is connected to the mist inlet 3131 and is set along the longitudinal extension of the mist outlet shell 311.
[0157] The ascending channel 3102 (the part outlined in red in the figure) is formed by a fog guiding structure and is connected to the fog outlet 301.
[0158] The diffusion channel 3101, which is connected to the fog inlet 3131 and extends longitudinally along the fog outlet shell 311, enables the fog introduced by the fog inlet 3131 to diffuse along the length direction of the fog outlet 301; the rising channel 3102, which is separated by the fog guiding structure, is used to guide the fog to the fog outlet 301, thereby realizing the reversal and uniform distribution of the fog.
[0159] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the fog guiding structure includes:
[0160] A primary guide rib 331 is provided on the side wall of the return channel 313 to longitudinally divide the mist in the diffusion channel 3101 into at least two primary upward paths.
[0161] Secondary guide ribs 332 are set on the side wall of the air guide cover 3111; each air outlet of the primary rising passage corresponds to a set of secondary guide ribs 332; a secondary rising passage is formed between each two adjacent secondary guide ribs 332; the inlet of the secondary rising passage is connected to the outlet of the primary rising passage, and the primary rising passage and the secondary rising passage constitute the rising channel 3102.
[0162] The primary guide rib 331 is located on the side wall of the return channel 313. It first contacts the mist, dividing it into larger mist clusters that move along the primary rising path towards the mist outlet 301. As the larger mist clusters drift upwards, they then contact the secondary guide rib 332, which further subdivides them into at least two smaller, more uniform mist clusters. These smaller clusters rise along the secondary rising path to the mist outlet 301 and are discharged. This two-stage segmentation and guidance ensures a more uniform distribution of mist along the length of the mist outlet 301, resulting in finer, more uniform mist clusters, improved mist output, and a better user experience.
[0163] In some embodiments, at least two primary guide ribs 331 are inclined toward the mist inlet 3131.
[0164] The primary guide rib 331 is inclined towards the mist inlet 3131 to facilitate the upward movement of the longitudinally diffused mist, so as to redirect the mist to the top mist outlet 301.
[0165] In some embodiments, at least two primary guide ribs 331 have different lengths.
[0166] The requirements for fog interception vary along the length of the diffusion path, therefore at least two primary guide ribs 331 have different lengths to meet different fog interception requirements.
[0167] In some embodiments, the length of at least two primary guide ribs 331 gradually decreases from the position near the mist inlet 3131 to the direction away from the mist inlet 3131.
[0168] Since the fog is thinner near the fog inlet 3131, a higher interception intensity is required to ensure a more uniform fog volume throughout the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the length of the primary guide rib 331 is set longer closer to the fog inlet 3131, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of fog.
[0169] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 16 As shown, the bottom surface of the return channel 313 has a slope that extends downward toward the mist inlet 3131; and the slope includes a steep section 3133, which is located at the end of the return channel 313 away from the mist inlet 3131.
[0170] The fog guiding structure also includes:
[0171] The guide rib 333 is positioned diagonally above the steep slope section 3133; and the length of the guide rib 333 is greater than the length of the adjacent primary guide rib 331.
[0172] The bottom surface of the return trough 313 has a downward slope extending towards the mist inlet 3131, which allows the collected condensate to flow back to the mist inlet 3131 by gravity, and then back to the water tank of the atomizing component 32 for recycling. The end of the return trough 313 away from the mist inlet 3131 forms a steep slope section 3133, that is, a gradually narrowing structure in the direction away from the mist inlet 3131, which can accelerate the flow of mist and avoid insufficient driving force near the end of the mist, thus affecting the mist output. In order to adapt to the steep slope of the bottom surface of the return trough 313 at the end away from the mist inlet 3131, a guide rib 333 with a length greater than the first-level guide rib 331 is set on the upper side of the steep slope section 3133, which presses the mist down to the left steep slope section 3133, increases the wind pressure on the left slope, and accelerates the flow of mist, so that the mist can smoothly enter the steep slope section 3133 and make the mist output more uniform.
[0173] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 Each secondary guide rib 332 is bent towards the mist inlet 3131.
[0174] The secondary guide rib 332 used for secondary guidance and diversion is bent towards the mist inlet 3131, which can further guide the mist after the primary guide rib 331 is reversed, forming vertically upward mist. The mist rises along the secondary rising path and is discharged from the mist outlet 301.
[0175] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 14 As shown, all secondary guide ribs 332 have the same length.
[0176] After being guided by the primary guide rib 331, a relatively uniform large fog cloud has been formed. Therefore, the secondary guide ribs 332 are of equal length, which can ensure the uniformity and consistency of the fog output after the secondary guide.
[0177] A primary guide rib 331 of equal length is provided on the air guide cover 3111, and a secondary guide rib 332 of unequal length is designed on the return channel 313. The upper end face of the secondary guide rib 332 is aligned with the lower end face of the primary guide rib 331 at the edge of a set of primary guide ribs 331, so that the mist entering from the mist inlet 3131 is divided into multiple layers and discharged from the mist outlet 120 at the upper end of the air guide cover 3111, resulting in more uniform mist output.
[0178] In some embodiments, such as Figure 20 As shown, the cross-section of the reflux trough 313 is U-shaped.
[0179] The U-shaped cross-section of the return channel 313 allows condensate to flow easily down the two side walls and converge at the bottom of the return channel 313, facilitating recycling.
[0180] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 and Figure 22 As shown, the bottom surface of the return channel 313 has a slope, and the bottom surface extends downward toward the mist inlet 3131.
[0181] The bottom surface of the return channel 313 forms a downward slope extending towards the mist inlet 3131, allowing condensate to flow back to the mist inlet 3131 by gravity, and then back to the water tank of the atomizing component 32 for reuse. This prevents condensate leakage from causing water accumulation on the ground and also avoids the increase in humidity in the misting component 31 due to condensate in the return channel 313, which could cause water vapor to enter the lamp cover 3122 of the light-emitting structure 312. Moreover, relying on gravity for return eliminates the need for additional pumping devices, reduces the number of components, and improves reliability.
[0182] The bottom surface of the return channel 313 includes a steep slope section 3133 and a gentle slope section 3132. In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the gentle slope section 3132 can be selected as 0.5° to reduce the dripping noise caused when the water flows back to the water tank of the atomizing component 32 if the angle is too large. The inclination angle of the steep slope section 3133 is greater than that of the gentle slope section 3132.
[0183] In some embodiments, the air guide cover 3111 is detachably connected to the return channel 313.
[0184] The air guide cover 3111 and the return channel 313 are detachably connected, which facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts.
[0185] In some embodiments, such as 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the fogging assembly 31 also includes a connecting structure, which includes:
[0186] The first card slot 3134 is located at the top of the return slot 313;
[0187] The first buckle 31111 is located at the bottom of the air guide cover 3111; the first buckle 31111 is correspondingly engaged in the first slot 3134.
[0188] The air guide cover 3111 is secured to the first slot 3134 at the top of the return channel 313 by the first buckle 31111 at the bottom, thus achieving the connection between the two and making disassembly and assembly convenient.
[0189] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 312 emits light towards the fog outlet 301, so that the light emitted by the light-emitting structure 312 is projected onto the fog to form a simulated flame.
[0190] The fogging component 31 also includes a light-emitting structure 312 for creating an atmosphere. The light shines on the rising fog to form a flame effect, which increases humidity and creates a warm visual feeling. Moreover, because the fog is more uniform, the simulated flame effect is improved, resulting in a better user experience.
[0191] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 312 includes:
[0192] Light source 3121;
[0193] The lampshade 3122 and the light source 3121 are disposed inside the lampshade 3122;
[0194] The vent cover 3112 is used to fix the lamp cover 3122 and the light source 3121 set inside the lamp cover 3122, providing reliable support; the lamp cover 3122 and the vent cover 3112 are made by secondary injection molding, which has good connection and also improves the sealing performance, preventing moisture from entering the lamp cover 3122 and affecting the light source 3121.
[0195] Specifically, the light source 3121 can be an LED light source 3121. The LED light source 3121 is a cold light source 3121, which has good encapsulation and sealing, long service life, and does not require frequent replacement.
[0196] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 312 further includes:
[0197] The lamp cover 3123 is disposed on the open side of the lamp shade 3122 to seal the light source 3121 inside.
[0198] The lamp cover 3123 seals the light source 3121 inside the lamp shade 3122, thus providing protection.
[0199] In some embodiments, the light-emitting structure 312 further includes:
[0200] The first sealing element 314 is provided with a cross groove 3141; the lamp cover 3123 is provided with a cross rib 31231 (e.g. Figure 5 As shown, the first sealing element 314 is connected to the cross rib 31231 by the cross groove 3141 to achieve the connection with the lamp cover 3123.
[0201] The first seal 314 improves the sealing performance between the lamp cover 3123 and the lamp shade 3122, further preventing moisture from entering the lamp shade 3122. The first seal 314 and the lamp cover 3123 are connected by a cross rib 31231 and a cross groove 3141. During installation and after assembly, the first seal 314 is not easy to shift or rotate, making installation convenient and connection reliable.
[0202] Specifically, the first sealing element 314 can be made of a sponge with certain moisture absorption properties, which can effectively prevent moisture from entering the lamp cover 3122, extend the life of the light source 3121, and ensure electrical safety.
[0203] In some embodiments, a second buckle 31121 is provided on the air cover 3112, and a third buckle 31232 is provided on the lamp cover 3123. The second buckle 31121 and the third buckle 31232 are engaged to detachably install the lamp cover 3123 onto the air cover 3112.
[0204] The lamp cover 3123 is snapped onto the second snap 31121 on the air cover 3112 via the third snap 31232, thereby connecting the lamp cover 3123 and the air cover 3112 and sealing the open side of the lamp cover 3122. The snap-fit method makes disassembly and assembly convenient, easy to operate, and saves time and effort.
[0205] In some embodiments, the fogging assembly 31 further includes:
[0206] The second sealing element 315 is used for sealing between the air cover 3112 and the air guide cover 3111;
[0207] The air guide cover 3111 is provided with a first mounting groove, and the second sealing element 315 is disposed in the first mounting groove.
[0208] The first mounting groove on the air guide cover 3111 facilitates the embedding of the second sealing element 315, which improves the sealing performance between the air cover 3112 and the air guide cover 3111.
[0209] It should be noted that the second sealing element 315 is a rectangular sealing ring, which matches the side shape of the air guide cover 3111 and is easy to process and manufacture.
[0210] In some embodiments, the air cover 3112 is provided with a fourth buckle 31112 and a fifth buckle 31122. The light-emitting structure 312 is engaged with the air guide cover 3111 through the cooperation of the fifth buckle 31122 and the fourth buckle 31112.
[0211] The light-emitting structure 312 is snapped into the fourth snap 31112 on the air guide cover 3111 by the fifth snap 31122 on the air cover 3112, thereby achieving the connection between the light-emitting structure 312 and the air guide cover 3111, which is highly convenient for disassembly and assembly.
[0212] In some embodiments, a second mounting groove 3135 is provided on the top surface of the reflux groove 313, and a third sealing member 316 is provided in the second mounting groove 3135.
[0213] A second mounting groove 3135 is provided on the top surface of the return groove 313 to facilitate the fixing of the third sealing element 316 inside, thereby improving the sealing performance between the return groove 313 and the air guide cover 3111 and preventing condensate leakage.
[0214] It should be noted that, firstly, the lampshade 3122 is injection molded onto the air cover 3112 to form the first seal; after the lamp plate with the light source 3121 is snapped into the inside of the lampshade 3122, the sponge, which serves as the first sealing element 314, is first installed onto the cross rib 31231 of the lamp cover 3123, and then the lamp cover 3123 with the sponge installed is connected to the air cover 3112 via the snap 122 to form the second seal, see [link to documentation]. Figure 17 The second sealing element 315 is snapped into the first mounting groove of the air guide cover 3111, and then snapped into the light-emitting structure 312 via the snap 122 (the air guide cover 3111 and the air cover 3112 are connected by the snap 122), forming a third seal. Next, the third sealing element 316 is installed in the second mounting groove 3135 on the return channel 313. Then, the assembly consisting of the light-emitting structure 312 and the air guide cover 3111 is snapped into the return channel 313 containing the third sealing element 316 via the snap 122, forming a fourth seal. These four seals effectively isolate the internal light source 3121 from the mist, improving the lifespan and electrical safety of the light source 3121.
[0215] In some embodiments, the top surface of the return channel 313 is further provided with a first slot 3134, which is located around the second mounting slot 3135.
[0216] The bottom of the air guide cover 3111 is provided with a first buckle 31111; the first buckle 31111 is correspondingly engaged in the first slot 3134 to install the air guide cover 3111 on the upper side of the return channel 313.
[0217] The air guide cover 3111 is engaged with the first slot 3134 on the top surface of the return channel 313 by the first buckle 31111 at the bottom, which makes it easy to install and remove.
[0218] In some embodiments, the plane where the mist inlet 3131 is located forms an angle with the plane where the mist outlet 301 is located.
[0219] The plane where the mist inlet 3131 is located forms an angle with the plane where the mist outlet 301 is located, which facilitates the mist to diffuse along the length of the mist outlet 301 in the mist outlet channel and then be discharged upward from the mist outlet 301. The mist outlet range is large, which also facilitates the formation of a simulated flame effect after being illuminated.
[0220] In some embodiments, the fog guiding structure includes:
[0221] The fog guiding rib 33 can divide the longitudinally diffused fog and redirect its flow to the fog outlet 301.
[0222] The fog is divided by the fog guide ribs 33, and after being guided, the fog moving longitudinally changes direction and rises to be discharged from the fog outlet 301, thereby improving the uniformity of fog discharge.
[0223] In some embodiments, secondary guide ribs 332 are provided only on the air guide cover 3111. The secondary guide ribs 332 include short ribs 3322 and long ribs 3321. The long ribs 3321 are used to divide the fog into large fog clusters, and the short ribs 3322 are used to further divide the large fog clusters into multiple small fog clusters to achieve uniform fog output.
[0224] In some embodiments, the heating device is a heater or a fan heater.
[0225] The heating device provided in this embodiment has several small air inlet holes on the rear plate 13 to form an air inlet 130. The heating element 24 is located on the air inlet side of the impeller 21. The upper air inlet cover 25 and the lower air inlet cover 26 are located on the upper and lower sides of the heating element 24, respectively, covering the heating element 24 to ensure that the air drawn in by the impeller 21 can effectively remove the heat from the heating element 24. The volute 23 is located on the lower side of the impeller 21 and is fixed on the base plate 14. The volute 23 includes a volute body section 231. The volute guide section 232 extends from the volute main body section 231, and together with the diversion structure 100, the left and right side plates of the shell body, and the bottom plate 14, forms a first air duct. The volute tongue 22 is located above the impeller 21. The volute tongue 22 includes the volute tongue main body section 221 and the volute tongue guide section 222 disposed on the volute tongue main body section 221. The volute tongue guide section 222 together with the diversion structure 100, the front plate 11, and the left and right side plates of the shell body forms a second air duct. The diversion structure 100, by adopting an integral molding with the first air outlet grille 111, can improve airflow stability and reduce whistling noise. When the heating device is working, the fan 21 rotates, and cold air enters the housing 10 from the air inlet 130 of the rear plate 13. After being heated by the heating element 24, it flows out from the warm air outlet 202. The flow divides the air into two streams, one forward and one upward, through the flow divider 100. These streams flow out through the first air outlet 101 on the first air outlet grille 111 and the second air outlet 102 on the second air outlet grille 12. The hot airflow from the first air outlet grille 111 provides axial airflow, heating the bottom and slowly upwards through natural convection. The hot airflow from the second air outlet grille 12 enhances the upward heat transfer rate, thereby increasing the overall heat output and expanding the heat dissipation range.
[0226] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the protection scope of the embodiments of this application.
