[0024] In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified and limited, it should be noted that the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection of two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the humidifying device of the utility model includes a shell 100, a heating element 200 and an ultrasonic atomizing plate 300. The shell 100 is arranged in a refrigerator. The defrosting water of the refrigerator is introduced into the shell 100, heated and atomized by the heating element 200 and the ultrasonic atomizing plate 300 in the shell 100, and the atomized water vapor is discharged to the indoor space where the refrigerator is placed to achieve humidification.
[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The housing 100 has a set of air outlets.
[0027] The housing 100 includes a bottom plate, side plates extending upward from the bottom plate, and a sealing cover 104 connected to the top of the side plates, which together form a sealed humidification chamber.
[0028] The shell 100 includes a water inlet 101 and a first air outlet 102 respectively located on both sides of the first direction of the shell 100. The defrost water in the refrigerator tank enters the humidification chamber from the water inlet 101 through the guide pipe, and the liquid is heated to a state to be atomized by the heating body 200 in the humidification chamber, and then the liquid is atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300. The atomized water vapor is discharged from the first air outlet 102 to achieve humidification of the indoor space.
[0029] Specifically, the water inlet 101 is opened on the sealing cover 104, and a water drop switch is arranged on the bottom plate facing the water inlet 101 to control the opening and closing of the water inlet 101. The first air outlet 102 is opened on a group of side panels away from the water inlet 101, and the first air outlet 102 is composed of a plurality of groups of air outlet holes opened in a grid shape, so as to increase the outflow rate of the atomized water vapor. Of course, in other embodiments, the water inlet 101 can also be opened on a group of side panels facing the first air outlet 102. A sterilization lamp is also arranged at the first air outlet 102 to effectively remove bacteria in the humidified water vapor.
[0030] The heating body 200 is used to heat the defrost water introduced into the humidification chamber to prevent the defrost water from being too low in temperature, which is not conducive to the atomization of the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 and affects the atomization humidification effect. Specifically, the heating body 200 is a heating wire, which is spirally or serpentinely arranged along the bottom plate, thereby increasing the contact area between the heating wire and the defrost water and improving the heating efficiency.
[0031] The ultrasonic atomizing plate 300 is located between the heating body 200 and the first air outlet 102. The ultrasonic atomizing plate 300 is used to atomize the defrosting water heated by the heating body 200 to form humidified water vapor. The ultrasonic atomizing plate 300 divides the humidification chamber into two parts, namely, the liquid storage area where the heating body 200 is located and the atomization processing area where the first air outlet 102 is located. The ultrasonic atomizing plate 300 is arranged near the first air outlet 102, that is, the area of the liquid storage area is larger than the area of the atomization processing area.
[0032] Furthermore, the humidifying device also includes a liquid level sensor 400 located in the shell 100, and the liquid level sensor 400 is used to monitor the liquid level height in the humidifying chamber in real time to prevent the liquid level in the humidifying chamber from being too low to cause overheating of the heating body or the liquid level in the humidifying chamber from being too high to cause overflow.
[0033] In this embodiment, the liquid level sensor 400 is provided with two groups, which are respectively located on both sides of the heating element 200 along the first direction, that is, one group of the liquid level sensors 400 is located between the water inlet 101 and the heating element 200, and the other group of the liquid level sensors 400 is located between the heating element 200 and the ultrasonic atomization plate 300. The two groups of the liquid level sensors 400 can prevent errors caused by uneven liquid levels caused by uneven placement of the refrigerator. A water shortage protection switch is provided next to the liquid level sensor 400. When the liquid level sensor 400 detects that the liquid level in the humidification chamber is too low, the heating of the heating element 200 is stopped, thereby preventing the heating element 200 from being overheated.
[0034] Furthermore, the humidification device also includes a fan 500, an aromatherapy module 600 and a deodorization module 700 located in the atomization treatment area.
[0035] The fan 500 is used to accelerate the circulation of the humidified water vapor in the atomization treatment area, and blow the water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 toward the first air outlet 102, so that the humidified water vapor is discharged from the first air outlet 102 to the indoor space where the refrigerator is located to achieve humidification. The fans 500 are arranged in multiple groups at intervals to guide the humidified water vapor to be discharged.
[0036] The aromatherapy module 600 and the deodorization module 700 are arranged in parallel, and the two are located between the fan 500 and the first air outlet 102. Under the action of the fan 500, the humidified water vapor flows through the aromatherapy module 600 and the deodorization module 700, thereby purifying and enhancing the humidified water vapor and then being discharged to the indoor space where the refrigerator is located through the first air outlet 102. The germicidal lamp provided at the first air outlet 102 irradiates the deodorization module 700 to generate deodorizing ions, which are blown out together with the humidified water vapor. The aromatherapy module 600 and the deodorization module 700 are each provided with two groups.
[0037] When the room needs to be humidified, the drain switch is turned on, and the defrost water in the refrigerator is introduced into the liquid storage area in the shell 100 through the water inlet 101, and the defrost water is heated to a state to be atomized by the heating body 200, and then the defrost water is atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300. The atomized water vapor flows through the aromatherapy module 600 and the deodorization module 700 under the action of the fan 500, and after being sterilized by the sterilization lamp, it is discharged from the first air outlet 102 to the indoor space where the refrigerator is located to achieve humidification.
[0038] Reference Figures 4 to 6 , which is different from the previous embodiment in that: the housing 100 has two sets of air outlets.
[0039] The shell 100 also includes a second air outlet 103, which is opened on the side of the shell 100, that is, located on the side panel adjacent to the side panel where the first air outlet 102 is located. The second air outlet 103 is located between the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 and the first air outlet 102. The water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 can be discharged through the first air outlet 102 and / or the second air outlet 103 to achieve humidification of the indoor space.
[0040] A shielding plate 102a is movably provided at the first air outlet 102, the first air outlet 102 is opened at the upper half of the side plate, and the shielding plate 102a can move up and down along the side plate to open or close the first air outlet 102. A guide fan is provided at the second air outlet 103 to discharge the water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 from the second air outlet 103. Both the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 are provided with a germicidal lamp to effectively remove bacteria in the humidified water vapor.
[0041] The first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 can be selectively opened according to different usage scenarios.
[0042] When the refrigerator is non-embedded, the shielding plate 102a can be kept located at the lower half of the side panel to open the first air outlet 102, and the guide fan at the second air outlet 103 can be turned on to allow part of the humidified water vapor to be discharged from the second air outlet 103, and the water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 can be discharged through the first air outlet 102 and the second air outlet 103 at the same time, which is beneficial to expand the discharge rate of the humidified water vapor and the humidity balance of the indoor space.
[0043] When the refrigerator is non-embedded but in order to prevent the user from being directly blown by humidified water vapor when using the refrigerator, the shielding plate 102a can be kept located at the upper half of the side panel to close the first air outlet 102, and the guide fan at the second air outlet 103 is turned on, so that all the water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 is discharged through the second lateral air outlet 103.
[0044] When the refrigerator is built-in, the shielding plate 102a is kept at the lower half of the side panel to open the first air outlet 102, and the guide fan at the second air outlet 103 is closed, so that the water vapor atomized by the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 is discharged through the first air outlet 102.
[0045] In this embodiment, only one group of the second air outlets 103 is provided, a partition plate is provided in the atomization treatment area, the partition plate is perpendicular to the ultrasonic atomization plate 300 and divides the atomization treatment area into two parts, and a guide fan is provided on the partition plate to blow the humidified water vapor in the atomization treatment area to the second air outlet 103. The deodorizing module 700 is provided at the second air outlet 103 and the partition plate.
[0046] In summary, the humidifying device is arranged in the refrigerator, and the defrosting water of the refrigerator is introduced into the shell 100, heated and atomized by the heating element 200 and the ultrasonic atomizing plate 300 in the shell 100, and the atomized water vapor is discharged to the indoor space where the refrigerator is placed to achieve humidification.
