Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heater technology, specifically to a misting device, a humidifying device, and a heater. Background Technology

[0002] As the heater industry continues to develop, users' demands for heater functions are becoming more diversified, no longer limited to the quality of heating effect, but also focusing on the user experience. To address the problem of dry environments caused by heaters in winter, some heaters have added humidification functions to improve ambient humidity.

[0003] In related technologies, the humidification device of a heater is prone to having a large amount of mist output in one area and a small amount of mist output in another area, resulting in poor mist uniformity and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a misting device, a humidifying device, and a heater to solve the problem that the misting uniformity of the humidifying device of the heater is poor, which affects the user experience.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a fogging device, comprising:

[0006] A fog-emitting body includes a fog inlet, a fog outlet, and a fog-emitting channel connecting the fog inlet and the fog outlet; the fog-emitting body includes:

[0007] An air guide cover, wherein the mist outlet is formed at the top of the air guide cover;

[0008] A return channel is provided on the bottom side of the air guide cover, and the mist inlet is provided in the return channel; the mist outlet channel is formed between the air guide cover and the return channel;

[0009] A fog guiding structure is disposed within the fog outlet channel, capable of dividing the fog vapor introduced by the fog inlet and diffused longitudinally along the fog outlet channel into at least two fog clusters before being discharged from the fog outlet; the fog guiding structure is disposed on the air guide cover and / or the return groove.

[0010] Beneficial Effects: The mist-generating device includes a mist-guiding structure installed within the mist-generating channel. This structure guides the mist introduced through the inlet and divides the longitudinally diffusing mist along the channel into at least two mist clusters before discharging them through the outlet. This avoids insufficient mist volume near the inlet, improving the uniformity of mist output and enhancing user satisfaction. Without a mist-guiding structure, the mist, driven by wind, would be blown directly towards the side furthest from the inlet, resulting in a higher mist density and lower density near the inlet, leading to uneven mist output. The mist-guiding structure blocks and divides the mist upon entering the channel, preventing it from being blown all the way to the side furthest from the inlet and improving uniformity. The mist-generating channel, formed between the air guide cover and the return trough, facilitates mist transport and discharge. It has few components and a simple structure. The return trough collects condensate at the mist outlet, allowing for easy recycling and reuse. The fog guiding structure is set on the air guide cover and / or return groove, which further simplifies the structure and makes the assembly process simple. The fog guiding structure set on the air guide cover and / or return groove can directly contact and guide the fog in the fog outlet channel, resulting in a good fog guiding effect.

[0011] In one optional implementation, the fog outlet channel includes:

[0012] A diffusion channel is connected to the mist inlet and is provided to extend longitudinally along the mist outlet body;

[0013] The rising channel is formed by the fog guiding structure and is connected to the fog outlet.

[0014] Beneficial effects: The diffusion channel, which is connected to the mist inlet and extends longitudinally along the mist outlet body, allows the mist introduced by the mist inlet to diffuse along the length direction of the mist outlet; the rising channel formed by the mist guiding structure is used to guide the mist to the mist outlet, realizing the reversal and uniform distribution of the mist.

[0015] In one optional implementation, the fog-guiding structure includes:

[0016] A primary guide rib is provided on the side wall of the return channel to longitudinally divide the mist in the diffusion channel into at least two primary upward paths.

[0017] Secondary guide ribs are provided on the side wall of the air guide cover; a secondary rising passage is formed between each two adjacent secondary guide ribs; 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.

[0018] Beneficial effects: The primary guide ribs, located on the side wall of the return channel, first contact the mist, dividing it into larger mist clusters that move along the primary rising path towards the mist outlet. As these larger mist clusters drift upwards, they then contact the secondary guide ribs, which further refine them into at least two uniform smaller mist clusters. These smaller clusters rise along the secondary rising path to the mist outlet for discharge. This two-stage segmentation and guidance ensures a more uniform distribution of mist along the length of the mist outlet, resulting in finer, more uniform mist clusters, improved mist output, and a better user experience.

[0019] In one alternative implementation, at least two of the primary guide ribs are inclined toward the mist inlet.

[0020] Beneficial effect: The primary guide ribs are inclined towards the mist inlet, which facilitates the upward movement of the longitudinally diffused mist, so as to redirect the mist to the top mist outlet.

[0021] In one alternative implementation, at least two of the primary guide ribs have different lengths.

[0022] Beneficial effects: The interception requirements for mist vapor vary along the length of the diffusion path, therefore at least two primary guide ribs must have different lengths to meet different mist vapor interception requirements.

[0023] In one alternative implementation, the lengths of at least two of the primary guide ribs gradually decrease from the position near the mist inlet to the direction away from the mist inlet.

[0024] Beneficial effects: Since the mist is thinner near the mist inlet, a higher interception intensity is required to ensure a more uniform mist volume throughout the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the length of the primary guide ribs closer to the mist inlet is set longer, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of mist.

[0025] In one alternative embodiment, the bottom surface of the return channel is formed with a slope extending downward toward the mist inlet; and the slope includes a steep section located at the end of the return channel away from the mist inlet.

[0026] The fog guiding structure also includes:

[0027] The guide ribs are positioned above the steep slope section; and the length of the guide ribs is greater than the length of the adjacent primary guide ribs.

[0028] Beneficial effects: The bottom surface of the return trough has a downward slope extending towards the mist inlet, allowing the collected condensate to flow back to the mist inlet by gravity, and then back to the water tank of the atomizing component for recycling; the end of the return trough away from the mist inlet forms a steep slope section, i.e., a gradually narrowing structure in the direction away from the mist inlet, 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 at the end away from the mist inlet, a guide rib with a length greater than the first-level guide rib is set above the corresponding steep slope section, pressing the mist down to the left steep slope section, increasing the wind pressure on the left slope, which can accelerate the flow of mist and make the mist output more uniform.

[0029] In one alternative implementation, each of the secondary guide ribs is bent toward the mist inlet.

[0030] Beneficial effects: The secondary guide ribs used for secondary guidance and diversion bend towards the mist inlet, which can further guide the mist after the primary guide ribs have been reversed, forming mist that rises vertically upward and is discharged from the mist outlet.

[0031] In one alternative implementation, all of the secondary guide ribs are of equal length.

[0032] Beneficial effects: After the primary guide ribs guide the flow, a relatively uniform large fog cloud has been formed. Therefore, the secondary guide ribs are of equal length, which can ensure the uniformity and consistency of the fog output after the secondary guide.

[0033] In one alternative embodiment, the bottom surface of the return channel has a slope, and the bottom surface extends downward toward the mist inlet.

[0034] Beneficial effects: The bottom surface of the return tank forms a downward slope extending towards the mist inlet, allowing the condensate to flow back to the mist inlet by gravity and then back to the water tank of the atomizing component for reuse. This eliminates the need for additional pumping devices, reduces the number of parts, and improves reliability.

[0035] In one alternative embodiment, the air guide cover is detachably connected to the return channel.

[0036] Beneficial effects: The air guide cover and the return channel are detachably connected, which facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0037] In one optional embodiment, the mist outlet further includes a connecting structure, the connecting structure comprising:

[0038] The first slot is formed in one of the return channel and the air guide cover;

[0039] A first buckle is disposed on the other of the return channel and the air guide cover; the first buckle is correspondingly engaged in the first slot.

[0040] Beneficial effects: The air guide cover and the return channel are secured in the first slot by the first buckle, realizing the connection between the air guide cover and the return channel, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0041] In one optional embodiment, the top surface of the reflux trough is provided with a second mounting groove, and a third sealing element is provided in the second mounting groove.

[0042] Beneficial effects: A second mounting groove is provided on the top surface of the return trough, which facilitates the fixing of the third sealing element inside, improves the sealing performance between the return trough and the air guide cover, and prevents condensate leakage.

[0043] In one optional embodiment, the fog-emitting device further includes a light assembly, the light emitting direction of which is directed toward the fog outlet, so that the light emitted by the light assembly is projected onto the fog to form a simulated flame.

[0044] Beneficial effects: The fogging device also includes lighting components to create an atmosphere. The light shines on the rising fog to create a flame effect, increasing humidity and creating a warm visual experience. Moreover, because the fog is more evenly distributed, the simulated flame effect is enhanced, resulting in a better user experience.

[0045] In one alternative implementation, the lighting assembly includes:

[0046] light source;

[0047] A lampshade, wherein the light source is disposed within the lampshade;

[0048] A wind cover, on which the lampshade is mounted.

[0049] Beneficial effects: The wind cover is used to fix the lampshade and the light source set inside the lampshade, providing reliable support and good connection.

[0050] In one optional implementation, the lighting assembly further includes:

[0051] A lamp cover, which is disposed on the open side of the lampshade to seal the light source inside.

[0052] Beneficial effect: The lamp cover seals the light source inside the lampshade, providing protection.

[0053] In one optional implementation, the lighting assembly further includes:

[0054] The first sealing element has a cross groove; the lamp cover has a cross rib, and the first sealing element is connected to the lamp cover by snapping into the cross rib through the cross groove.

[0055] Beneficial effects: The first seal improves the sealing performance between the lamp cover and the lamp shade, further preventing moisture from entering the lamp shade; the first seal and the lamp cover are connected by a cross rib and cross groove, so the first seal is not easy to shift or rotate during installation and after assembly, making installation convenient and connection reliable.

[0056] In one alternative embodiment, the air cover is provided with a second buckle, and the lamp cover is provided with a third buckle. The second buckle and the third buckle engage to detachably install the lamp cover onto the air cover.

[0057] Beneficial effects: The lamp cover is snapped onto the second snap on the air cover via the third snap, thus connecting the lamp cover and the air cover and sealing the open side of the lamp cover at the same time; the snap-fit ​​method makes disassembly and assembly convenient, easy to operate, and saves time and effort.

[0058] In one optional embodiment, the mist-emitting body further includes:

[0059] The second sealing element is used to seal the air cover and the air guide cover plate;

[0060] The air guide cover is provided with a first mounting groove, and the second sealing element is disposed in the first mounting groove.

[0061] Beneficial effects: The first mounting groove on the air guide cover facilitates the embedding of the second seal, which improves the sealing performance between the air cover and the air guide cover.

[0062] In one optional embodiment, a fourth buckle is provided on the air guide cover, and a fifth buckle is provided on the air cover. The lighting component is engaged with the air guide cover by the cooperation of the fifth buckle and the fourth buckle.

[0063] Beneficial effects: The lighting component is connected to the air guide cover by the fifth clip on the air cover and the fourth clip on the air guide cover, which makes the lighting component and the air guide cover easy to install and remove.

[0064] Secondly, the present invention also provides a humidification device, comprising:

[0065] The atomizing component has a mist outlet;

[0066] In any of the above-described mist-generating devices, the mist outlet is connected to the mist inlet.

[0067] Beneficial effects: The mist generated by the atomizing component flows from the mist outlet to the mist inlet of the mist outlet device, and is evenly discharged by the mist outlet device, improving the humidification effect of the humidification device.

[0068] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a heater, including the humidification device described above.

[0069] Beneficial effects: Since the heater includes the humidification device of the present invention, it has the same technical effects as the humidification device, which will not be described in detail here. Attached Figure Description

[0113] The following is combined Figures 1 to 17 The following describes embodiments of the present invention.

[0114] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in one aspect, such as Figure 1 As shown, a fog-generating device is provided, comprising:

[0115] The fog-emitting body includes a fog inlet 21, a fog outlet 11, and a fog-emitting channel connecting the fog inlet 21 and the fog outlet 11;

[0116] The fog guiding structure, located inside the fog outlet channel, is capable of dividing the fog introduced by the fog inlet 21 and diffused longitudinally along the fog outlet channel into at least two fog clusters, which are then discharged from the fog outlet 11.

[0117] The mist-generating device includes a mist-guiding structure installed within the mist-generating channel. This structure divides the mist introduced through the mist inlet 21 and longitudinally diffused along the channel into at least two mist clusters before discharging them through the mist outlet 11. This prevents the mist from being directly blown away from the mist inlet 21, thus avoiding a situation where the amount of mist near the inlet 21 is low. This improves the uniformity of the mist output from the humidifier, allowing the heater to effectively increase relative humidity in dry winter environments and enhance user satisfaction. During the longitudinal diffusion of the mist, without a mist-guiding structure, most of the mist would be blown directly away from the mist inlet 21 by the wind, resulting in a higher mist density on the side away from the inlet 21 and a lower density near the inlet 21, causing uneven mist output. With the mist-guiding structure, the mist is blocked and divided upon entering the mist-generating channel, preventing it from being blown away from the inlet 21 and improving the uniformity of the mist output.

[0118] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the fog-emitting body includes:

[0119] The air guide cover 1 has a mist outlet 11 formed on its top; the structure of the air guide cover 1 is described in detail below. Figure 6 The structure of mist outlet 11 is shown in the figure. Figure 14 ;

[0120] A return channel 2 is located on the bottom side of the air guide cover 1, and a mist inlet 21 is located at one end of the return channel 2; a mist outlet channel is formed between the air guide cover 1 and the return channel 2. The structure of the return channel 2 is described in [reference needed]. Figure 3 and Figures 7-8 .

[0121] The air guide cover 1 and the return channel 2 form a mist outlet channel for the transport and discharge of mist vapor. It has few parts and a simple structure. The return channel 2 can collect the condensate formed at the mist outlet 11, which is convenient for recycling and reuse.

[0122] In some embodiments, the fog guiding structure is disposed on the air guide cover 1 and / or the return channel 2.

[0123] The fog guiding structure is set on the air guide cover plate 1 and / or the return groove 2, which further simplifies the structure and makes the assembly process simple. The fog guiding structure set on the air guide cover plate 1 and / or the return groove 2 can directly contact and guide the fog in the fog outlet channel, resulting in a good fog guiding effect.

[0124] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fog outlet channel includes:

[0125] The diffusion channel 10 (the part outlined by the cyan dashed line in the figure) is connected to the mist inlet 21 and is set along the longitudinal extension of the mist outlet body;

[0126] The ascending channel 20 (the part outlined in red dashed in the figure) is formed by a fog guiding structure and is connected to the fog outlet 11.

[0127] The diffusion channel 10, which is connected to the mist inlet 21 and extends longitudinally along the mist outlet body, enables the mist introduced by the mist inlet 21 to diffuse along the length direction of the mist outlet 11; the rising channel 20, formed by the mist guiding structure, is used to guide the mist to the mist outlet 11, thereby realizing the reversal and uniform distribution of the mist.

[0128] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fog guiding structure includes:

[0129] The primary guide rib 31 is set on the side wall of the return channel 2, which longitudinally divides the mist in the diffusion channel 10 into at least two primary upward paths.

[0130] Secondary guide ribs 32 are set on the side wall of the air guide cover plate 1; each air outlet of the primary rising passage corresponds to a set of secondary guide ribs 32; a secondary rising passage is formed between each two adjacent secondary guide ribs 32; 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 20.

[0131] The primary guide rib 31 is located on the side wall of the return channel 2. It first contacts the mist, dividing it into larger mist clusters that move along the primary rising path towards the mist outlet 11. As the larger mist clusters drift upwards, they then contact the secondary guide rib 32, which further divides them into at least two uniform smaller mist clusters. These smaller clusters rise along the secondary rising path and are discharged from the mist outlet 11. This two-stage division and guidance ensures a more uniform distribution of the mist along the length of the mist outlet 11, resulting in finer, more uniform mist clusters, improved mist output, and a better user experience.

[0132] In some embodiments, at least two primary guide ribs 31 are inclined toward the mist inlet 21.

[0133] The primary guide rib 31 is inclined towards the mist inlet 21 to facilitate the upward movement of the longitudinally diffused mist, so as to redirect the mist to the top mist outlet 11.

[0134] In some embodiments, at least two primary guide ribs 31 have different lengths.

[0135] The requirements for intercepting mist vapor vary along the length of the diffusion path, therefore at least two primary guide ribs 31 have different lengths to meet different mist vapor interception requirements.

[0136] In some embodiments, the length of at least two primary guide ribs 31 gradually decreases from the position near the mist inlet 21 to the direction away from the mist inlet 21.

[0137] Since the fog is thinner near the fog inlet 21, 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 31 is set longer closer to the fog inlet 21, which is beneficial to the uniform distribution of fog.

[0138] In some embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent primary guide ribs 31 is equal; in other embodiments, the spacing between two adjacent primary guide ribs 31 is not equal. Of course, in other embodiments, multiple primary guide ribs 31 can also be arranged according to a preset spacing pattern. In practical applications, the spacing can be adjusted according to the fog requirements and the preset shape of the simulated flame. Multiple models can also be set according to different spacing arrangements for users to choose from.

[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, the bottom surface of the return channel 2 has a slope that extends downward toward the mist inlet 21; and the slope includes a steep section 23, which is located at the end of the return channel 2 away from the mist inlet 21.

[0140] The fog guiding structure also includes:

[0141] The guide rib 33 is positioned diagonally above the steep slope section 23; and the length of the guide rib 33 is greater than the length of the adjacent primary guide rib 31.

[0142] The bottom surface of the return trough 2 has a downward slope extending towards the mist inlet 21, which allows the collected condensate to flow back to the mist inlet 21 by gravity, and then back to the water tank of the atomizing component 8 for recycling. The end of the return trough 2 away from the mist inlet 21 forms a steep slope section 23, that is, a gradually narrowing structure in the direction away from the mist inlet 21, 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 2 at the end away from the mist inlet 21, a guide rib 33 with a length greater than the first-level guide rib 31 is set on the upper side of the steep slope section 23, which presses the mist down to the left steep slope section 23, 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 23 and make the mist output more uniform.

[0143] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 Each secondary guide rib 32 is bent towards the mist inlet 21.

[0144] The secondary guide rib 32 used for secondary guidance and diversion is bent towards the mist inlet 21, which can further guide the mist after the primary guide rib 31 is reversed, forming vertically upward mist. The mist rises along the secondary rising path and is discharged from the mist outlet 11.

[0145] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, all secondary guide ribs 32 have the same length.

[0146] After being guided by the primary guide rib 31, a relatively uniform large fog cloud has been formed. Therefore, the secondary guide ribs 32 are of equal length, which can ensure the uniformity and consistency of the fog output after the secondary guide.

[0147] A primary guide rib 31 of equal length is set on the air guide cover 1, and a secondary guide rib 32 of unequal length is designed on the return channel 2. The upper end face of the secondary guide rib 32 is aligned with the lower end face of the primary guide rib 31 at the edge of a set of primary guide ribs 31, so that the mist entering from the mist inlet 21 is divided into multiple layers and discharged from the mist outlet 81 at the upper end of the air guide cover 1, resulting in more uniform mist output.

[0148] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the cross-section of the reflux trough 2 is U-shaped or V-shaped.

[0149] The U-shaped or V-shaped cross-sectional shape allows condensate to flow easily down the side walls of the return tank 2 and converge at the bottom, facilitating recycling.

[0150] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 15As shown, the bottom surface of the return channel 2 has a slope, and the bottom surface extends downward toward the mist inlet 21.

[0151] The bottom surface of the return trough 2 has a downward slope extending towards the mist inlet 21, allowing the condensate to flow back to the mist inlet 21 by gravity, and then back to the water tank of the atomizing component 8 for reuse. This prevents the problem of condensate leakage causing water accumulation on the ground, and also avoids the condensate in the return trough 2 increasing the humidity in the misting device and causing water vapor to enter the lamp cover 42 of the lighting component 4. Moreover, relying on gravity for return eliminates the need for additional pumping devices, reduces the number of parts, and improves reliability.

[0152] The bottom surface of the return channel 2 includes a steep slope section 23 and a gentle slope section 22. In some embodiments, the inclination angle of the gentle slope section 22 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 8 if the angle is too large. The inclination angle of the steep slope section 23 is greater than that of the gentle slope section 22.

[0153] In some embodiments, the air guide cover 1 and the return channel 2 are detachably connected.

[0154] The air guide cover 1 and the return channel 2 are detachably connected, which facilitates maintenance and replacement of parts.

[0155] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the mist outlet also includes a connecting structure, which includes:

[0156] The first card slot 24 is located at the top of the return channel 2;

[0157] The first buckle 12 is located at the bottom of the air guide cover 1; the first buckle 12 is correspondingly engaged in the first slot 24.

[0158] The air guide cover 1 is secured to the first slot 24 at the top of the return channel 2 by the first buckle 12 located at the bottom, thus connecting the two and making disassembly and assembly convenient.

[0159] In some other embodiments, the first slot 24 is formed at the bottom of the air guide cover 1, and the first buckle 12 is disposed at the top of the return channel 2. The air guide cover 1 and the return channel 2 can be reliably installed together by engaging the first buckle 12 with the first slot 24.

[0160] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the fog-emitting device also includes a light assembly 4, the light emitting direction of which is towards the fog outlet 11, so that the light emitted by the light assembly 4 is projected onto the fog to form a simulated flame.

[0161] The fogging device also includes a lighting component 4 for creating an atmosphere. The light shines on the rising fog to create a flame effect, increasing humidity while also creating a warm visual experience. Moreover, because the fogging is more uniform, it enhances the simulated flame effect and provides a better user experience.

[0162] In some embodiments, the lighting component 4 includes:

[0163] Light source 41;

[0164] The lampshade 42 and the light source 41 are disposed inside the lampshade 42;

[0165] The air cover 43 is used to fix the lampshade 42, and the lampshade 42 is installed on the air cover 43.

[0166] The cover 43 is used to fix the lampshade 42 and the light source 41 set inside the lampshade 42, providing reliable support and good connection.

[0167] Preferably, the lampshade 42 and the fan cover 43 can be connected by a secondary injection molding method, which further improves the connection reliability and also improves the sealing performance, preventing moisture from entering the lampshade 42 and affecting the light source 41.

[0168] Specifically, the light source 41 can be an LED light source 41. The LED light source 41 is a cold light source 41, which has good encapsulation and sealing, long service life, and does not require frequent replacement.

[0169] In some embodiments, the lighting component 4 further includes:

[0170] The lamp cover 44 is located on the open side of the lamp shade 42 and seals the light source 41 inside.

[0171] The lamp cover 44 seals the light source 41 inside the lamp shade 42, thus providing protection.

[0172] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the lighting component 4 also includes:

[0173] The first sealing element 5 is provided with a cross groove 51; the lamp cover 44 is provided with a cross rib 441 (e.g. Figure 5 As shown, the first sealing element 5 is connected to the cross rib 441 by the cross groove 51 to achieve the connection with the lamp cover 44.

[0174] The first sealing element 5 improves the sealing performance between the lamp cover 44 and the lamp shade 42, further preventing moisture from entering the lamp shade 42. The first sealing element 5 and the lamp cover 44 are connected by a cross rib 441 and a cross groove 51. During installation and after assembly, the first sealing element 5 is not easy to shift or rotate, making installation convenient and connection reliable.

[0175] Specifically, the first sealing element 5 can be made of a sponge with certain moisture absorption properties, which can effectively prevent moisture from entering the lamp cover 42, extend the life of the light source 41, and ensure electrical safety.

[0176] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air cover 43 is provided with a second buckle 431, and the lamp cover 44 is provided with a third buckle 442. The second buckle 431 and the third buckle 442 are engaged to detachably install the lamp cover 44 onto the air cover 43.

[0177] The lamp cover 44 is snapped onto the second snap 431 on the air cover 43 via the third snap 442, thereby connecting the lamp cover 44 and the air cover 43 and sealing the open side of the lampshade 42. The snap-fit ​​method makes disassembly and assembly convenient, easy to operate, and saves time and effort.

[0178] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the fog-emitting body also includes:

[0179] The second sealing element 6 is used for sealing between the air cover 43 and the air guide cover 1;

[0180] The air guide cover 1 is provided with a first mounting groove, and the second sealing element 6 is provided in the first mounting groove.

[0181] The first mounting groove on the air guide cover 1 facilitates the embedding of the second sealing element 6, which improves the sealing performance between the air cover 43 and the air guide cover 1.

[0182] It should be noted that the second sealing element 6 is a rectangular sealing ring, which matches the shape of the side of the air guide cover 1 and is easy to process and manufacture.

[0183] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the air guide cover 1 is provided with a fourth buckle 13, such as Figure 10 As shown, a fifth buckle 432 is provided on the air cover 43, and the light assembly 4 is engaged with the air guide cover 1 through the cooperation of the fifth buckle 432 and the fourth buckle 13.

[0184] The lighting component 4 is connected to the air guide cover 1 by the fifth clip 432 on the air cover 43 and the fourth clip 13 on the air guide cover 1, which makes the lighting component 4 and the air guide cover 1 easy to install and remove.

[0185] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a second mounting groove 25 is provided on the top surface of the reflux groove 2, and a third sealing element 7 is provided inside the second mounting groove 25.

[0186] A second mounting groove 25 is provided on the top surface of the return channel 2 to facilitate the fixing of the third sealing element 7 inside, thereby improving the sealing performance between the return channel 2 and the air guide cover 1 and preventing condensate leakage.

[0187] It should be noted that the lampshade 42 is first injection molded onto the fan cover 43 to form the first seal, see [link to documentation]. Figure 9 After the lamp plate with light source 41 is snapped into the inside of lamp cover 42, the sponge, which serves as the first sealing element 5, is first installed onto the cross rib 441 of lamp cover 44. Then, the lamp cover 44 with the sponge installed is connected to the air cover 43 by snap-fit, forming a second seal. See [link to documentation]. Figure 10 The second sealing element 6 is snapped into the first mounting groove of the air guide cover 1, and then snapped into the lighting assembly 4 via a buckle (the air guide cover 1 and the air cover 43 are snapped together), forming a third seal. See [link to documentation]. Figure 11 Next, the third seal 7 is installed in the second mounting slot 25 on the return channel 2. Then, the assembly consisting of the light assembly 4 and the air guide cover 1 is snapped onto the return channel 2 containing the third seal 7, forming a fourth seal. See [link to documentation]. Figure 12 The four seals effectively isolate the internal light source 41 from the mist, improving the lifespan and electrical safety of the light source 41.

[0188] In some embodiments, the top surface of the return channel 2 is further provided with a first slot 24, which is located around the second mounting slot 25;

[0189] The bottom of the air guide cover 1 is provided with a first buckle 12; the first buckle 12 is correspondingly engaged in the first slot 24 to install the air guide cover 1 on the upper side of the return channel 2.

[0190] The air guide cover 1 is engaged with the first slot 24 on the top surface of the return channel 2 by the first buckle 12 at the bottom, making it easy to install and remove.

[0191] In some embodiments, the plane where the mist inlet 21 is located forms an angle with the plane where the mist outlet 11 is located.

[0192] The plane where the mist inlet 21 is located forms an angle with the plane where the mist outlet 11 is located. This facilitates the diffusion of mist along the length of the mist outlet 11 within the mist outlet channel before it is discharged upwards from the mist outlet 11. This results in a large mist outlet range and also facilitates the formation of a simulated flame effect after illumination. Specifically, in this embodiment, the plane where the mist inlet 21 is located is a vertical plane, while the plane where the mist outlet 11 is located is a horizontal plane, forming a 90-degree angle between the two.

[0193] In some embodiments, the fog guiding structure includes:

[0194] The fog guiding rib 3 can divide the longitudinally diffused fog vapor and redirect its flow to the fog vapor outlet 11.

[0195] The longitudinally diffused mist is divided by the mist guide ribs 3. After being guided, the longitudinally moving mist changes direction and rises to be discharged from the mist outlet 11, thereby improving the uniformity of mist output.

[0196] In some embodiments, the structure of the fog-guiding rib 3 is shown below. Figure 15 The air guide cover 1 is equipped with a secondary fog guiding rib. The secondary fog guiding rib includes a short rib 322 and a long rib 321. The long rib 321 is used to divide the fog vapor into large fog clusters, and the short rib 322 is used to further divide the large fog clusters into multiple small fog clusters to achieve uniform fog output.

[0197] Specifically, the multiple short ribs 322 of the secondary fog-guiding ribs can be arranged at equal intervals to ensure good consistency of fog discharge along the length of the fog-discharging device. Alternatively, the multiple short ribs 322 can be distributed according to a predetermined pattern to achieve a pre-set simulated flame effect. For example, the spacing between the short ribs 322 in the middle is larger, resulting in a larger fog discharge; the spacing gradually decreases towards the sides, resulting in a gradually decreasing fog discharge, presenting a simulated flame effect with a higher flame in the middle and lower flames on both sides.

[0198] According to an embodiment of the present invention, on the other hand, such as Figure 16 As shown, a humidifying device for a heater is also provided, comprising:

[0199] Atomizing component 8 has a mist outlet 81;

[0200] The mist outlet 81 is connected to the mist inlet 21.

[0201] The mist generated by the atomizing component 8 flows from the mist outlet 81 to the mist inlet 21 of the mist outlet device, and is evenly discharged by the mist outlet device, which improves the humidification uniformity of the humidification device, has a good heating effect, and the heater achieves the effect of heating without drying.

[0202] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, a heater is also provided, including the humidification device described above.

[0203] Since the heater includes the humidification device of the present invention, it has the same technical effect as the humidification device, which will not be described in detail here.

[0204] In some embodiments, such as Figure 17 As shown, the heater is a baseboard heater, which also includes a fan 300 and a heat distribution structure 400. The fan 300 delivers warm air to the heat distribution structure 400, where the heat is divided at the air outlet, sending heat in both horizontal and vertical directions. Part of the heat is blown out through the bottom air outlet 200, achieving carpet-like heating, warming from the feet up; the other part of the heat is blown out through the top air outlet 100, accelerating indoor air convection and achieving whole-house heating.

[0205] Although embodiments of the 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 invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by this application.
