DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. 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 this application.

[0034] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0035] For ease of description, spatial relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative positional relationship or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figure, such as "inside", "outside", "inner side", "outer side", "below", "below", "above", "above", "front", "back", etc. Such spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figure.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , the embodiment of the present application provides a cover structure, including:

[0037] Chassis 1;

[0038] A base 2 is rotatably disposed on the chassis 1, and a knob 3 is disposed on the base 2;

[0039] a button 4 movably disposed on the chassis 1, the button 4 comprising a pressing end 5 and a connecting end 6, the connecting end 6 movably cooperates with the base 2 to limit the rotation of the base 2; and

[0040] The slider 7 is movably arranged on the chassis 1 and connected to the chassis 1 through a first elastic member 8. The rotation of the base 2 drives the reciprocating motion of the slider 7 through a transmission assembly. A lock 9 is connected to the slider 7, and the lock 9 is used to connect with other components to limit and fix the chassis 1.

[0041] The chassis 1 is used to connect with other parts, and is used as a cover body when it is covered on other parts. The lock 9 on the chassis 1 is used to connect with other parts to fix the chassis 1 on other parts, or cancel the connection between the chassis 1 and other parts, so as to facilitate the movement of the chassis 1 and realize operations such as opening the cover. Among them, the base 2 is rotatably arranged on the chassis 1, and the rotation of the base 2 will drive the movement of the slider 7. During the movement of the slider 7, the lock 9 connected thereto will drive the synchronous movement, and the reciprocating movement of the lock 9 will realize the connection or cancellation of the connection with other parts. The button 4 is movably arranged on the chassis 1 up and down, and the button 4 also limits the rotation of the base 2 at the same time. When the button 4 remains stationary, the base 2 cannot rotate, which can ensure the stable connection between the chassis 1 and other parts; after the user presses the button 4, the cooperation between the button 4 and the chassis 1 is canceled, and then the user can turn the knob 3 to drive the rotation of the base 2 to realize the opening of the chassis 1. Therefore, the cover structure provided in the present application requires pressing the button 4 and then turning the knob 3 to open the chassis 1 during the process of opening the cover. This process requires two hands to operate simultaneously, which effectively avoids the situation of accidentally opening the cover and ensures the safety of users.

[0042] A second elastic member 10 is provided between the pressing end 5 and the chassis 1. After the button 4 is pressed, the button 4 compresses the second elastic member 10. Driven by the elastic force, when the button 4 is not subjected to force, the second elastic member 10 drives the button 4 to return to its original state, so that the button 4 is reset without the user having to press and reset, which is convenient for operation. The second elastic member 10 can be any component that can achieve elastic reset, such as a spring, rubber, etc. The second elastic member 10 in the present application is a spring.

[0043] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 , a connection hole is provided on the base 2, and the connection hole extends along the rotation direction of the base 2, and a blocking member 13 is provided in the middle of the connection hole to separate the connection hole into a first placement area 11 and a second placement area 12 that are connected in the rotation direction of the base 2, and the first placement area 11 and the second placement area 12 can both cooperate with the connection end 6. The reliability of the position of the lock buckle 9 is ensured by the cooperation between the connection end 6 and the first placement area 11 and the second placement area 12. Among them, taking the locking cooperation of the lock buckle 9 and other components when the connection end 6 is located in the first placement area 11 as an example, the setting of the blocking member 13 can ensure that the connection end 6 is stably located in the first placement area 11; when the user presses the button 4, the connection end 6 moves downward synchronously to break away from the limit of the blocking member 13, and at this time, the knob 3 can be rotated to place the connection end 6 in the second placement area 12. The user releases the button 4, and the button 4 returns to its original state under the reset force of the second elastic member 10, bounces upward, drives the connection end 6 to move upward, and is fixed in the second placement area 12 by the limit member.

[0044] The first limiting member 20 and the second limiting member 21 are arranged on the chassis 1 at intervals, and the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting member 21 are used to cooperate with the opposite sides of the connecting end 6; the opposite sides of the connecting end 6 are limited by the setting of the first limiting member 20 and the second limiting member 21 to ensure the stability of the connecting end 6 moving up and down.

[0045] The chassis 1 is also provided with a first positioning member 22 and a second positioning member 23 at intervals, and a positioning end 24 is formed on the opposite sides of the first positioning member 22 and the second positioning member 23, and a positioning portion 25 is provided on the connecting end 6 to be embedded and matched with the positioning end 24; the embedded cooperation between the positioning portion 25 and the positioning end 24 facilitates the installation position of the connecting end 6 and facilitates preparation. In addition, the connecting end 6 can be limited for a second time to further improve its reliability in moving up and down.

[0046] The outer edge of the blocking member 13 is configured with a rounded structure, and the blocking member 13 with a rounded structure can prevent the blocking member 13 from causing damage to the connecting end 6 during the rotation of the knob 3.

[0047] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 In some embodiments, the transmission assembly includes:

[0048] A guide member 14 is disposed on the base 2, and a guide hole 15 is formed on the guide member 14; and

[0049] A matching piece 16 is disposed on the slider 7, and a matching block 17 is disposed on the matching piece 16, and the matching block 17 is embedded in the guide hole 15;

[0050] The slider 7 is provided with a sliding groove 18, the first elastic member 8 is arranged in the sliding groove 18, and a limit block 19 is provided on the chassis 1. The limit block 19 is arranged in the sliding groove 18 and is connected to one end of the first elastic member 8. The slider 7 compresses or releases the first elastic member 8 during the movement.

[0051] By embedding the matching piece 16 in the guide hole 15, the reliability of the connection between the matching piece 16 and the guide hole 15 can be ensured, and the assembly is convenient. The base 2 will drive the guide piece 14 to rotate synchronously during the rotation process. Under the mutual cooperation of the guide hole 15 and the matching piece 16, the slider 7 will be driven to move synchronously, so as to realize the rotation of the base 2 to drive the slider 7 to move. It can be known that the slider 7 can adopt any connection relationship that can realize the rotation drive movement to realize its own movement. In addition, the movement of the slider 7 includes but is not limited to rotation or movement. Correspondingly, the sliding groove 18 is extended along the movement direction of the slider 7, that is, when the slider 7 is moved, the sliding groove 18 extends along the movement direction of the slider 7; when the slider 7 is rotated, the sliding groove 18 extends along the rotation circumference of the slider 7; thereby ensuring that during the movement of the slider 7, the sliding groove 18 cooperates with the limit block 19 to compress or release the first elastic member 8. Of course, the first elastic member 8 can adopt any component with elastic restoring force in the prior art, such as a spring or rubber.

[0052] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 In addition, in order to facilitate user use, when the first elastic member 8 is in a normal state, the lock buckle 9 should be in an extended state, that is, there is a locking relationship between the lock buckle 9 and other components; after the knob 3 is turned, the lock buckle 9 is in a contracted state, and the first elastic member 8 is in a compressed state. At this time, the locking relationship between the lock buckle 9 and other components is cancelled, and when the user does not apply force to the knob 3, the first elastic member 8 will drive the lock buckle 9 to move under its own elastic force, thereby achieving an automatic locking effect.

[0053] In the present application, the rotation of the base 2 drives the movement of the slider 7 to be described as an example. The cross-sectional shape of the guide hole 15 is a curve drawn by a spiral line. Specifically, the spiral line is an Archimedean spiral. A surface drawn by the Archimedean spiral is used at the contact point between the knob 3 and the slider 7 to linearly convert the rotation increment into the sliding increment, thereby improving the feel of the rotation process.

[0054] In addition, the limit block 19 can be fixedly arranged on the chassis 1 , and the movement trajectory of the slider 7 can be limited through the cooperation between the limit block 19 and the sliding groove 18 , thereby ensuring the reliability of the reciprocating movement of the slider 7 .

[0055] Of course, the slider 7 and the chassis 1 can also be connected through a sliding assembly, which includes an embedded and matching slide groove and slide rail. One of the slide groove and the slide rail is set on the slider 7, and the other is set on the chassis 1. The embedded and matching slide groove and the slide rail further ensure the stability of the movement of the slider 7.

[0056] There are two sliders 7, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base 2, and each slider 7 is provided with a lock 9; in this case, the knob 3 can be arranged in the middle of the chassis 1, and the two sliders 7 are correspondingly arranged on the opposite sides of the chassis 1. Similarly, each lock 9 on the slider 7 is correspondingly arranged on the opposite sides of the chassis 1, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the chassis 1 and other components. In addition, the slider 7 can be provided with one, two or more locks 9 to meet the different needs of users.

[0057] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 In summary, in the cover structure provided by the embodiment of the present application, the button 4 is pressed to compress the second elastic member 10, and the connection end 6 of the button 4 moves downward from the first placement area 11 of the connection hole, thereby escaping from the restriction of the blocking member 13. At this time, the knob 3 can be rotated, and the rotation of the knob 3 drives the slider 7 to move, thereby pulling back the lock 9 and compressing the first elastic member 8. At this time, the chassis 1 can be opened to realize the opening of the cover. At the same time, the rotation of the knob 3 makes the connection end 6 located in the second placement area 12. After releasing the button 4, the connection end 6 is located above the second placement area 12 and is limited to the second placement area 12 by the blocking member 13. The knob 3 can also be stuck by the connection end 6 to limit the rotation of the knob 3. After the user completes the operation of the humidifier, such as adding water or maintenance, the button 4 is pressed, and the button 4 moves downward from the second placement area 12 to escape from the restriction of the blocking member 13. Under the action of the reset force of the first elastic member 8, the slider 7 moves, the knob 3 automatically rotates back, and the lock 9 extends, thereby locking and connecting the chassis 1. The cover structure requires two steps, namely, pressing button 4 and turning knob 3, to open the cover, which requires both hands to operate, effectively reducing the possibility of accidental opening and improving safety. In addition, the reset operation can be achieved by pressing button 4, which is convenient to operate. While opening the cover can prevent accidental opening, closing the cover is easy to operate, which can improve the customer experience.

[0058] Reference Figure 1-Figure 5 The embodiment of the present application further provides a humidifier, comprising a bottom shell and a cover structure as described in the first aspect, wherein a lock hole is provided on the bottom shell, and a lock buckle 9 of the cover structure is movably arranged in the lock hole.
