[0064] With the improvement of living standards, people have higher and higher requirements for indoor air quality and comfort, requiring not only the indoor air temperature to be within an appropriate range, but also the indoor air humidity to be within an appropriate range. A humidifier can adjust the humidity of indoor air to meet the user's demand for indoor air comfort. In the related art, a humidifier includes a water tank assembly and a humidifier host. The water tank assembly includes a water tank and a filter element located in the water tank. The humidifier host is arranged on the water tank, and the humidifier host needs to be in contact with the filter element so that the humidifier can adjust the humidity of the indoor air when it is running. However, in the related art, the humidifier host has the problem of being unable to closely contact with the filter element, or the filter element is too high, resulting in a large gap between the humidifier host and the water tank in the vertical direction, resulting in poor overall performance of the humidifier.

[0065] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present application provides a water tank assembly and a humidifier. By designing an adjusting mechanism, the adjusting mechanism is arranged in the water tank, the filter element is arranged on the adjusting mechanism, and the adjusting mechanism is constructed to be height-adjustable in a first direction. In this way, the adjusting mechanism drives the filter element to float up and down relative to the water tank in the first direction. When the humidifier host is arranged on the water tank, it is ensured that the humidifier host is always in contact and cooperation with the filter element, and the sealing between the humidifier host and the water tank and the filter element is improved, thereby improving the overall performance of the humidifier, improving the humidification effect and improving the overall aesthetics of the humidifier.

[0066] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions 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.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a water tank assembly 100, which is suitable for a humidifier, for example, including but not limited to a fogless humidifier. The water tank assembly 100 includes a water tank 110,

[0070] The water tank 110 has a water storage chamber for storing humidification water of the humidifier 10. The humidification water in the water tank 110 may be pure water, or may be an aqueous solution with additives such as mixed spices, bactericides, essential oils, etc., which is not specifically limited in the embodiment of the present application. The liquid in the water tank 110 is generally referred to as water below and will not be described in detail.

[0071] In addition, the water tank assembly 100 also includes a filter element 130 and an adjusting mechanism 120, the adjusting mechanism 120 is disposed in the water tank 110, and the filter element 130 is disposed on the adjusting mechanism 120; the adjusting mechanism 120 is constructed to be height-adjustable in a first direction so that the filter element 130 can float in the first direction relative to the water tank 110; wherein the first direction is consistent with the height direction of the water tank 110.

[0072] In a specific implementation, the filter element 130 and the adjustment mechanism 120 are arranged in the water tank 110, and the filter element 130 is arranged on the adjustment mechanism 120. In addition, the humidifier host in the humidifier 10 is arranged on the water tank 110. Since the height of the adjustment mechanism 120 in the first direction is adjustable, the filter element 130 can be closely contacted with the humidifier host 200 by adjusting the height of the adjustment mechanism 120 in the first direction, thereby avoiding the low height of the filter element 130 and the gap between the humidifier host, which affects the humidification effect; or, avoiding the high height of the filter element 130 and causing a large gap between the humidifier host and the water tank 110, which affects the aesthetics and sealing of the humidifier 10. Therefore, by arranging a height-adjustable adjustment mechanism 120 at the bottom of the filter element 130, the filter element 130 floats in the first direction to improve the sealing connectivity between the humidifier host and the water tank 110 and the close contact between the filter element 130 and the humidifier host, thereby improving the humidification effect of the humidifier 10 and improving the performance of the whole machine.

[0073] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 120 is one of a hydraulic mechanism and an elastic mechanism, which is simple to implement and has low cost.

[0074] As an example, the adjustment mechanism 120 is an elastic mechanism. After the elastic mechanism is placed in the water tank 110, it has an elastic force along the first direction. In this way, the elastic force of the elastic mechanism itself can drive the filter element 130 to float along the first direction away from the bottom wall of the water tank 110, so that it can be in contact and connected with the humidifier host; and when the gap between the humidifier host and the water tank 110 is large, a downward pressing force can be applied by the humidifier host to move the filter element 130 along the first direction, so that the humidifier host 200 is tightly connected to the water tank 110.

[0075] As another example, the adjustment mechanism 120 may also be a hydraulic mechanism, which includes, for example, a hydraulic cylinder and a hydraulic rod connected to the hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic rod can be raised and lowered relative to the hydraulic cylinder in a first direction, so that the filter element 130 can float relative to the water tank 110 in the first direction.

[0076] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, an adjusting mechanism 120 is designed, the adjusting mechanism 120 is arranged in the water tank 110, the filter element 130 is arranged on the adjusting mechanism 120, and the adjusting mechanism 120 is constructed to be height-adjustable in a first direction. In this way, the adjusting mechanism 120 drives the filter element 130 to float up and down relative to the water tank 110 in the first direction. When the humidifier host is arranged on the water tank 110, it is ensured that the humidifier host is always in contact with the filter element 130, and the sealing between the humidifier host and the water tank 110 and the filter element 130 is improved, thereby improving the overall performance of the humidifier 10, improving the humidification effect and improving the overall aesthetics of the humidifier 10.

[0077] In some embodiments, Figures 1 to 5 As shown in , the adjustment mechanism 120 is an elastic mechanism, which includes an elastic member 121, and the two ends of the elastic member 121 are respectively connected to the bottom wall of the water tank 110 and the filter element 130, so that the filter element 130 moves away from the bottom wall of the water tank 110 under the elastic force of the elastic member 121, or moves toward the bottom wall of the water tank 110 under the action of external pressure. In this way, the height of the filter element 130 in the water tank 110 along the first direction can be adjusted by the elastic force of the elastic member 121, and the implementation method is simple and low in cost.

[0078] In a specific implementation, the elastic mechanism is disposed in the water tank 110, and the filter element 130 is disposed on the elastic mechanism. In this way, the filter element 130 moves upward along the first direction under the elastic force of the elastic member 121 to reach the highest position that the filter element 130 can reach. At this time, the elastic member 121 is in a free state (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown); if the height of the filter element 130 is high, resulting in a large gap between the humidifier host and the water tank 110, a pressing force can be applied to the humidifier host, so that the filter element 130 can be moved along the first direction close to the bottom wall of the water tank 110, so that the filter element 130 host and the water tank 110 are tightly connected, thereby improving the sealing of the humidifier 10. At this time, the elastic member 121 is in a compressed state (as shown in FIG. Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown).

[0079] In some embodiments, the elastic member 121 may be a spring, an elastic column, an elastic block, or an elastic pad having a certain thickness, etc., as long as it has a certain elastic deformation in the first direction when located in the water tank 110, and no limitation is made here.

[0080] In addition, in order to improve the force uniformity of the filter element 130 and the stability of the filter element 130, in some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 120 also includes a supporting member 122, and the supporting member 122 is arranged on the elastic member 121, and the filter element 130 is arranged on the supporting member 122, that is, by arranging the supporting member 122 between the elastic member 121 and the filter element 130, the uniformity and stability of the force applied to the filter element 130 are improved, the stability of the filter element 130 moving in the first direction is improved, and the problem of the filter element 130 tilting and getting stuck during movement is avoided.

[0081] Exemplarily, the support member 122 is, for example, a support plate, which is disposed above the elastic member 121 , and the filter element 130 is disposed on the support plate to improve the uniformity of the force applied to the filter element 130 .

[0082] Among them, the elastic member 121 can be one, two or more than two. When there are at least two elastic members 121, at least two elastic members 121 are arranged at intervals on the bottom wall of the water tank 110, and at least two elastic members 121 jointly support the supporting member 122. In this way, by setting the elastic member 121 to at least two, the reliability and stability of the filter element 130 moving along the first direction are improved.

[0083] In some embodiments, when there are at least two elastic members 121, at least two elastic members 121 are arranged at intervals on the bottom wall of the water tank 110 along the circumference of the filter element 130. Exemplarily, at least two elastic members 121 are arranged at equal intervals on the bottom wall of the water tank 110 along the circumference of the filter element 130, so that the force uniformity of the bearing plate can be improved, thereby improving the force uniformity of the filter element 130, and avoiding the problem of deflection of the filter element 130 due to uneven force.

[0084] In order to improve the relative reliability of the connection position between the elastic member 121 and the bearing member 122, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8As shown, a positioning portion 1221 is provided at a position corresponding to the supporting member 122 and the elastic member 121, and one end of the elastic member 121 facing the supporting member 122 is connected to the positioning portion 1221. In this way, the elastic member 121 can be positioned by the positioning portion 1221 to improve the reliability of the connection between the elastic member 121 and the supporting member 122, thereby improving the reliability of the filter element 130 moving along the first direction.

[0085] In some embodiments, the positioning portion 1221 can be a positioning groove or a positioning protrusion, and the elastic member 121 is, for example, a spring 222. In an exemplary embodiment, one end of the elastic member 121 is located in the positioning groove so that the elastic member 121 contacts the groove wall of the positioning groove. In another exemplary embodiment, the elastic member 121 is sleeved on the positioning protrusion. In this way, the positioning groove or the positioning protrusion can limit the circumference of the elastic member 121 to prevent the elastic member 121 from tilting or shifting, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the relative position between the elastic member 121 and the carrier 122.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 2 to 7 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 120 also includes a guide member 123, and the supporting member 122 has a through hole 1222 for the guide member 123 to pass through. One end of the guide member 123 is connected to the bottom wall of the water tank 110, and the other end of the guide member 123 is passed through the through hole 1222. The elastic member 121 is located between the supporting member 122 and the bottom wall of the water tank 110, and is surrounded by the outer peripheral side of the guide member 123.

[0087] In this way, the supporting member 122 moves along the guide member 123 when floating along the first direction under the action of the elastic force of the elastic member 121 itself or the external force, that is, the movement of the supporting member 122 in the first direction is guided by the guide member 123. In this way, the accuracy of the floating route of the filter element 130 along the first direction is improved, thereby improving the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the filter element 130 along the first direction, and avoiding the problem of tilting and jamming of the filter element 130 when moving.

[0088] In some embodiments, the guide member 123 is, for example, a guide column or a guide rod, as long as it can guide the carrier 122. When the elastic member 121 is a spring, the spring is sleeved on the guide member 123 and located between the bottom wall of the water tank 110 and the carrier 122.

[0089] In addition, in order to improve the compactness of the structure of the carrier 122 and reduce the process, in some embodiments, the through hole 1222 can be coaxially arranged with the positioning portion 1221. Exemplarily, the positioning portion 1221 is a positioning groove, the positioning groove and the through hole 1222 are coaxially arranged, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the positioning groove is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 1222.

[0090] It is understandable that by setting the positioning portion 1221 as a positioning groove, the floating clearance of the bearing plate in the first direction can be increased, and the problem of mutual interference between the positioning portion 1221 and the bottom wall of the water tank 110 can be avoided. In addition, by setting the positioning portion 1221 as a positioning groove, the positioning groove and the through hole 1222 can be prepared and formed in the same process, thereby reducing the process steps and reducing the process cost.

[0091] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the guide member 123 has a limiting portion 1231 at one end close to the top of the water tank 110, and the limiting portion 1231 is configured to limit the bearing member 122 from being separated from the guide member 123 along the first direction. In other words, when the elastic member 121 drives the bearing member 122 to move to the highest position toward the side away from the bottom wall of the water tank 110 by its own elastic force, the limiting portion 1231 limits the bearing member 122 to prevent the bearing member 122 from being separated from the end of the guide member 123, thereby improving the reliability of the filter element 130 moving along the first direction.

[0092] Exemplarily, the limiting portion 1231 is a limiting flange extending outwardly along the outer circumference of the guide member 123. In this way, when the bearing member 122 moves to the highest position, it abuts against the limiting flange to achieve the limiting of the bearing member 122.

[0093] It can be understood that by setting the limiting portion 1231 as a limiting flange, while limiting the bearing member 122, the structure is simple, easy to process, and has low process cost.

[0094] In some embodiments, please refer back to Figure 1 As shown, the bearing member 122 is a bearing plate, and a position near the center of the bearing plate has an avoidance hole 1223, and the avoidance hole 1223 is configured to avoid the float mechanism 140 in the water tank 110. In this way, the compactness of the structure of the water tank assembly 100 is improved.

[0095] In order to avoid interference between the guide member 123 and the filter element 130, in some embodiments, as shown in FIG. Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the hole wall of the avoidance hole 1223 has a connecting portion 1224, and the positioning portion 1221 and the through hole 1222 are arranged on the connecting portion 1224. In this way, when the filter element 130 floats in the first direction, interference between the guide member 123 and the filter element 130 can be avoided, thereby improving the user experience.

[0096] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, a limiting protrusion 1225 is provided on the edge of the supporting plate near the avoidance hole 1223 , and the limiting protrusion 1225 is configured to limit the filter element 130 from moving toward the center of the avoidance hole 1223 along the horizontal direction.

[0097] In the embodiment of the present application, the filter element 130 is limited in the horizontal direction by the limiting protrusion 1225 at the edge of the avoidance hole 1223, so as to improve the position reliability between the filter element 130 and the carrier 122, and prevent the filter element 130 from being offset in the horizontal direction. Exemplarily, the limiting protrusion 1225 extends along the circumference of the avoidance hole 1223 at the edge of the avoidance hole 1223, thereby improving the limiting reliability of the filter element 130 in the horizontal direction.

[0098] In addition, please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the float mechanism 140 includes a float 141 and a float bracket 142. The float bracket 142 passes through the avoidance hole 1223 on the supporting plate and is located in the water tank 110. The float 141 is located in the float bracket 142, and one end passes through the top of the float bracket 142. The float 141 can float up and down along the first direction in the float bracket 142 as the liquid level in the water tank 110 changes, so that the float 141 passes through one end of the top of the float bracket 142 to trigger or release the micro switch 214 on the humidifier host 200, thereby turning off or turning on the humidifier 10.

[0099] In some embodiments, a fixing structure 111 is further provided on the bottom wall of the water tank 110 to fix the float bracket 142 through the fixing structure 111, so that the float bracket 142 and the water tank 110 are relatively fixed, thereby improving the reliability of the position of the float 141 in the water tank 110, and further improving the reliability of opening or closing the humidifier 10.
