DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0063] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The implementation methods described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all implementation methods consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the attached claims. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0064] A humidifier is a household appliance that can increase the humidity of the indoor environment. It can usually be divided into ultrasonic humidifiers and fogless humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers produce a lot of water mist when in use. Fogless humidifiers use electric heating to evaporate water to achieve the humidification effect.
[0065] The humidifier is equipped with an air outlet net. The rotation of the wind wheel in the humidifier can make the moist gas in the humidifier flow and be discharged to the indoor environment outside the humidifier through the air outlet net to adjust the humidity of the indoor air. The air outlet net and the wind wheel need to be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the output gas. Therefore, the connection method between the air outlet net and the shell should be easy to disassemble and assemble.
[0066] In the related art, the air outlet net is fixed to the humidifier housing by a locking piece, and the operator needs to use tools to install or remove the air outlet net from the housing, which easily affects the convenience of operation during maintenance and affects the maintenance efficiency.
[0067] Based on the above technical problems, the applicant has improved the structure of the existing humidifier. In the embodiment of the present application, a first turn buckle is provided on the air outlet net, and a first slide groove cooperating with the first turn buckle is provided on the outer shell. The air outlet net can rotate relative to the outer shell. When the air outlet net is rotated to the first position, the first turn buckle and the first slide groove can limit each other, so that the air outlet net is not easy to separate from the outer shell in the direction of its own thickness, thereby realizing a fixed connection between the air outlet net and the outer shell. When the air outlet net is rotated to the second position, the limit between the first turn buckle and the first slide groove can be released, so that the air outlet net can be separated from the outer shell when moving in the direction of its own thickness, thereby realizing easy disassembly of the outer shell.
[0068] The humidifier provided in the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with specific embodiments.
[0069] See also Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the humidifier 100 of the embodiment of the present application may include a housing 110 and an air outlet net 120 .
[0070] The housing 110 has an installation opening 110a. The housing 110 is provided with a first slide groove 110b at the installation opening 110a. The air outlet net 120 can be arranged at the installation opening 110a of the housing 110. The air outlet net 120 can be provided with a first turn buckle that cooperates with the first slide groove 110b. The air outlet net 120 can rotate relative to the housing 110 and has a first position and a second position.
[0071] When the air outlet net 120 is in the first position, the first turn buckle and the first slide slot 110b can limit each other in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, so that the air outlet net 120 is connected to the housing 110. When the air outlet net 120 is in the second position, the limit between the first turn buckle and the first slide slot 110b in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120 can be released, so that the air outlet net 120 and the housing 110 are disconnected.
[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the operator can install or remove the air outlet net 120 from the housing 110 by rotating the air outlet net 120 to the first position or the second position. During the installation and removal process, it is not necessary to fix the air outlet net 120 and the housing 110 with an external locking member, nor is it necessary to use an operating tool to lock or unlock the air outlet net 120. The installation and removal operation process of the air outlet net 120 in the embodiment of the present application is simple and convenient, and the operation process saves time and effort.
[0073] In some possible implementations, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a support platform 111 may be provided at the installation opening 110a of the housing 110 of the embodiment of the present application. A support wall 112 may be provided on the support platform 111. A first sliding groove 110b may be provided on the support wall 112.
[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, the support platform 111 can be used to provide support for the support wall 112. The support wall 112 can protrude from the surface of the support platform 111 facing the air outlet net 120. The support wall 112 can be used to prevent dust and impurities in the external environment from entering the interior of the housing 110 through the gap between the air outlet net 120 and the housing 110, which is conducive to maintaining the cleanliness of the interior space of the housing 110.
[0075] For some examples, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the support wall 112 may be an annular structure. The inner wall 1121 of the support wall 112 may be surrounded to form an opening 1121a. The wind wheel 130, the motor 140 and other components may be placed in the housing 110 through the opening 1121a. In addition, the humidified gas formed in the housing 110 may also be released to the environment outside the humidifier 100 through the opening 1121a.
[0076] In some examples, the sidewalls of the housing 110 may be higher than the surface of the support platform 111. The sidewalls of the housing 110 may prevent dust and impurities in the external environment from falling on the support platform 111, thereby further reducing the possibility of dust and impurities entering the housing 110.
[0077] In some possible implementations, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the support wall 112 of the embodiment of the present application may be provided with a first unlocking opening 110c for the first turn buckle to enter the first slide slot 110b. The first unlocking opening 110c may face the direction of the air outlet net 120, and the first unlocking opening 110c is connected to the first slide slot 110b.
[0078] When the air outlet net 120 is in the first position, the first turn buckle and the first slide slot 110b can limit each other so that the air outlet net 120 is connected to the housing 110. When the air outlet net 120 is in the second position, the first turn buckle and the first unlocking port 110c can be opposite to each other so that the first turn buckle and the first slide slot 110b are released.
[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the first unlocking port 110c connected to the first slide groove 110b can be provided to release the limit between the air outlet net 120 and the housing 110. The limit release can refer to the process of installing the air outlet net 120 in the housing 110, the first turn buckle can enter the first slide groove 110b through the first unlocking port 110c, and can also refer to the process of disassembling the air outlet net 120, the first turn buckle can be moved out of the first slide groove 110b through the first unlocking port 110c.
[0080] Specifically, the installation opening 110a can be located at the top of the housing 110. During the installation of the air outlet net 120, the first turn buckle can be aligned with the first unlocking opening 110c, and then a downward force is applied to the air outlet net 120, so that the air outlet net 120 can enter the first slide groove 110b downward along the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120. At this time, the air outlet net 120 can be rotated so that the first turn buckle and the first unlocking opening 110c are offset, and the first turn buckle and the first slide groove 110b can limit each other, thereby realizing the connection between the air outlet net 120 and the housing 110.
[0081] During the disassembly of the air outlet net 120, the air outlet net 120 can be rotated so that the air outlet net 120 is rotated from the first position to the second position. When the air outlet net 120 is rotated to the second position, the first turn buckle corresponds to the first unlocking port 110c. Then, an upward force can be applied to the air outlet net 120. At this time, the first turn buckle can slide out through the first unlocking port 110c along the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120. The air outlet net 120 can be separated from the support wall 112, thereby realizing the disassembly of the air outlet net 120.
[0082] For some examples, see Figure 2 As shown, the direction of movement of the air outlet net 120 from the first position to the second position is opposite to the direction of movement of the air outlet net 120 from the second position to the first position. For example, when the first turn buckle on the air outlet net 120 is aligned with the first unlocking port 110c and enters the first slide slot 110b, the air outlet net 120 can be locked and connected to the housing 110 by rotating the air outlet net 120 clockwise. When the air outlet net 120 needs to be removed, the air outlet net 120 can be rotated counterclockwise so that the first turn buckle of the air outlet net 120 can slide out through the first unlocking port 110c, so that the air outlet net 120 can be separated from the housing 110.
[0083] In some examples, along the extension direction of the first slide groove 110b, the first slide groove 110b may have two opposite side surfaces. The first unlocking port 110c may be arranged close to one of the side surfaces, so that when the air outlet net 120 is rotated, when the first turn buckle touches the side surface at the first unlocking port 110c, the operator can confirm that the air outlet net 120 is in the second position, and the first turn buckle and the first slide groove 110b are released from the limit. When the first turn buckle touches the other side surface, the operator can confirm that the air outlet net 120 is in the first position, and the first turn buckle and the first slide groove 110b are mutually limited.
[0084] In some possible implementations, see Figures 6 to 9 As shown, the air outlet net 120 of the embodiment of the present application may include an inner support 122. The inner support 122 may be arranged to form an air outlet area 120a, and when the air outlet net 120 is connected to the housing 110, the outer wall 1221 of the inner support 122 is opposite to the inner wall 1121 of the support wall 112. The first turn buckle may be provided on the outer wall 1221 of the inner support 122. The first slide groove 110b may be provided on the inner wall 1121 of the support wall 112.
[0085] In the embodiment of the present application, when the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, at least part of the inner support 122 on the air outlet net 120 can be located in the opening 1121a formed by the support wall 112. The outer wall 1221 of the inner support 122 is arranged to be opposite to the inner wall 1121 of the support wall 112, so that the inner support 122 is constrained by the support wall 112 to deviate in the radial direction of the support wall 112.
[0086] In some examples, the inner support 122 may be an annular structure. Correspondingly, the support wall 112 may also be an annular structure.
[0087] In some examples, when the air outlet net 120 is in the first position, there may be a radial gap between the inner support 122 of the air outlet net 120 and the support wall 112. The gap can ensure that the inner support 122 is not likely to rub against the support wall 112 during the rotation of the air outlet net 120, so as to reduce the friction resistance caused by the support wall 112 to the inner support 122, which may cause the air outlet net 120 to rotate with difficulty.
[0088] In some examples, the opening 1121a formed by the support wall 112 and the air outlet area 120a formed by the inner support 122 may correspond to each other, so that the humidified gas may be released outward through the opening 1121a of the support wall 112 and the air outlet area 120a on the air outlet net 120 .
[0089] In other possible implementations, when the air outlet net 120 is connected to the housing 110, part of the support wall 112 may be located inside the inner support 122. The first turn buckle may be disposed on the inner wall of the inner support 122. The first slide groove 110b may be disposed on the outer wall of the support wall 112.
[0090] In some possible implementations, see Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the air outlet net 120 of the embodiment of the present application may also be provided with a second turn buckle 123. The support wall 112 is provided with a second slide groove 110d and a second unlocking port 110e which are interconnected. The second unlocking port 110e allows the second turn buckle 123 to enter the second slide groove 110d. The second slide groove 110d is spaced apart from the first slide groove 110b.
[0091] When the air outlet net 120 is in the first position, the second turn buckle 123 and the second slide slot 110d are mutually limited in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, so that the air outlet net 120 is connected to the housing 110. When the air outlet net 120 is in the second position, the upper limit of the second turn buckle 123 and the second slide slot 110d in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120 is released, so that the air outlet net 120 is not connected to the housing 110.
[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the second turn buckle 123 and the first turn buckle can be used together to limit or release the limit of the air outlet net 120.
[0093] In some examples, the second turn buckle 123 can be disposed on the outer wall 1221 of the inner support 122 of the air outlet net 120. The second turn buckle 123 and the first turn buckle can be spaced apart along the circumference of the inner support 122. Correspondingly, the second slide groove 110d and the first slide groove 110b can be spaced apart along the circumference of the support wall 112.
[0094] When the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, the first turn buckle and the first slide groove 110b are mutually limited in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, and the second turn buckle 123 and the second slide groove 110d are also mutually limited in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, so that the air outlet net 120 and the housing 110 remain connected. When the air outlet net 120 is located at the second position, the first turn buckle and the first slide groove 110b are released from the upper limit in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, and the second turn buckle 123 and the second slide groove 110d are also released from the upper limit in the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, so that the air outlet net 120 can be separated from the housing 110.
[0095] In some possible implementations, see Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the second slide groove 110d of the embodiment of the present application may be provided with a first positioning portion 110f. The second turn buckle 123 may be provided with a second positioning portion 123a matching the first positioning portion 110f. When the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, the first positioning portion 110f is matched and connected with the second positioning portion 123a.
[0096] The first positioning portion 110f and the second positioning portion 123a of the embodiment of the present application cooperate with each other to keep the air outlet net 120 in the first position to prevent the air outlet net 120 from rotating under a small external force, which may cause the air outlet net 120 to become loose and easy to be disassembled when the humidifier 100 is in use.
[0097] Furthermore, the first positioning portion 110f and the second positioning portion 123a cooperate with each other to provide a positioning prompt for the operator. Specifically, when the first positioning portion 110f cooperates with the second positioning portion 123a, a tactile prompt can be provided to the operator, so that the operator can judge that the air net 120 is in the first position.
[0098] In some examples, the first positioning portion 110f and the second positioning portion 123a may be located on surfaces of the second slide groove 110d and the second turn buckle 123 facing each other, respectively. The first positioning portion 110f may be a positioning groove, and the second positioning portion 123a may be a positioning protrusion.
[0099] It should be noted that the positioning protrusion can be formed of an elastic material. The positioning protrusion can be elastically deformed when subjected to force, so that the positioning protrusion can be easily separated from the positioning groove during the rotation of the air outlet net 120. After the positioning protrusion is separated from the positioning groove, the positioning protrusion can be elastically compressed when contacting the support wall 112, so as to reduce the possibility of rigid friction between the positioning protrusion and the support wall 112, which makes it difficult to rotate the air outlet net 120.
[0100] In some achievable embodiments, the number of the first turn-locks may be greater than or equal to the number of the second turn-locks 123 .
[0101] Since the second positioning portion 123a protrudes from the surface of the second turn buckle 123, when the second positioning portion 123a is separated from the first positioning portion 110f, an interference fit is generated between the second positioning portion 123a and the inner wall of the second slide groove 110d. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the number of the second turn buckles 123 can be set to be small, so as to reduce the rotation resistance of the air outlet net 120 while providing positioning instructions.
[0102] In some examples, the number of the first turn buckles 122 may be two, the number of the second turn buckles 123 may be one, and the first turn buckles and the second turn buckles 123 may be evenly spaced and distributed on the outer wall 1221 of the inner support 122 .
[0103] In some examples, a first positioning portion 110f may also be provided in the first slide groove 110b. The structures of the first slide groove 110b and the second slide groove 110d may be the same, so that the first turn buckle may correspond to either the first slide groove 110b or the second slide groove 110d, and the second turn buckle 123 may also correspond to either the first slide groove 110b or the second slide groove 110d, so that when the operator installs the air outlet net 120, it is not necessary to make the first turn buckle completely correspond to the first slide groove 110b and the second turn buckle 123 completely correspond to the second slide groove 110d, which is conducive to realizing a foolproof design during the installation of the air outlet net 120.
[0104] In some possible implementations, see Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the first guide surface 101 may be provided in the first slide groove 110b. The first turn buckle is provided with a second guide surface 1211 matched with the first guide surface 101. When the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, the first guide surface 101 and the second guide surface 1211 are in contact with each other.
[0105] The first guide surface 101 and the second guide surface 1211 may have a guiding function. When the first guide surface 101 contacts the second guide surface 1211, the air outlet net 120 continues to rotate, so that the air outlet net 120 can slide to the first position along the first guide surface 101. By providing the first guide surface 101 and the second guide surface 1211, the smoothness of the rotation of the air outlet net 120 can be improved during the rotation of the air outlet net 120.
[0106] Similarly, see Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the second slide groove 110d may be provided with a third guide surface 102. The second turn buckle 123 is provided with a fourth guide surface 1231 matched with the third guide surface 102. When the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, the third guide surface 102 and the fourth guide surface 1231 are in contact with each other.
[0107] The third guide surface 102 and the fourth guide surface 1231 can have a guiding function. When the third guide surface 102 contacts the fourth guide surface 1231, the air outlet net 120 continues to rotate, so that the air outlet net 120 can slide to the first position along the third guide surface 102. By providing the third guide surface 102 and the fourth guide surface 1231, the smoothness of the rotation of the air outlet net 120 can be improved during the rotation of the air outlet net 120.
[0108] In some possible implementations, see Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, along the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120, the first slide slot 110b has a first abutting surface 103 and a first avoiding surface 104 opposite to each other. When the air outlet net 120 is at the first position, the first turn buckle abuts against the first abutting surface 103 and is spaced from the first avoiding surface 104.
[0109] In the embodiment of the present application, when the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, the first abutting surface 103 can be used to limit the first turn buckle along the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120. The first turn buckle and the first air avoidance surface 104 are spaced apart to reduce the possibility of friction or interference between the air outlet net 120 and the first air avoidance surface 104 during the rotation process, thereby affecting the rotation of the air outlet net 120.
[0110] In some practicable embodiments, the second slide groove 110d may have a second abutting surface and a second air-avoiding surface opposite to each other along the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120. When the air outlet net 120 is located at the first position, the second turn buckle 123 abuts against the second abutting surface and is spaced apart from the second air-avoiding surface.
[0111] Similarly, the second abutting surface can be used to limit the second turn buckle 123 along the thickness direction X of the air outlet net 120. The interval between the second turn buckle 123 and the second air avoidance surface can reduce the possibility of friction or interference between the air outlet net 120 and the second air avoidance surface during rotation, thereby affecting the rotation of the air outlet net 120.
[0112] In some possible implementations, see Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the support wall 112 is provided with a fifth guide surface 105 for the inner support 122 to be introduced. The inner support 122 is provided with a sixth guide surface 1222 that matches with the fifth guide surface 105 .
[0113] In the embodiment of the present application, when the air outlet net 120 is installed on the outer shell 110 , the fifth guide surface 105 and the sixth guide surface 1222 can cooperate with each other to promote the inner support 122 to slide into the opening 1121a of the support wall 112 .
[0114] Specifically, when the sixth guide surface 1222 on the inner support 122 of the air outlet net 120 contacts the fifth guide surface 105 on the support wall 112, the force toward the outer shell 110 continues to be applied to the air outlet net 120. At this time, the inner support 122 of the air outlet net 120 can be guided along the fifth guide surface 105 on the support wall 112 to the opening 1121a of the inner support 122, thereby facilitating the improvement of the assembly efficiency of the air outlet net 120 and the outer shell 110.
[0115] In some possible implementations, see Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, the humidifier 100 may also be provided with a wind wheel 130, a motor 140 and a water tank assembly 150. The water tank assembly 150 may be located at the bottom of the humidifier 100. The wind wheel 130 and the motor 140 may be located in the housing 110. The air outlet net 120 is disposed at the top of the housing 110. The motor 140 may drive the wind wheel 130 to rotate. The water tank assembly 150 may include a water storage tank and a humidification filter element.
[0116] In some examples, a display screen may be provided on a side wall of the housing 110 .
