[0026] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more comprehensively with reference to the relevant drawings. The drawings provide preferred embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention can be implemented in many other different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0027] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, in an embodiment of a humidifying mechanism, the humidifying mechanism is used to humidify baby care equipment, and the humidifying mechanism includes a humidifying component 1 and a drainage component 2. The humidifying component 1 can store water and heat the water to spray it out in atomized form. The drainage component 2 includes a switch component 22. The switch component 22 has a first position for blocking the humidifying component 1 from being connected to the outside world, and a second position for connecting the humidifying component 1 to the outside world.

[0030] In this embodiment, water or cleaning disinfectant can be discharged through the drainage component 2, and a switch component 22 is provided, which can block the first drainage pipe 21 and open the first drainage pipe 21, and can reduce the cleaning disinfectant residue on the switch component 22, thereby solving the technical problem that the humidification mechanism in the existing baby care equipment is not disinfected cleanly enough.

[0031] Specifically, the switch member 22 can be of a plug-in type or a rotary type, wherein the switch member 22 can preferably be of a rotary type, so that in the rotation path of the switch member 22 there is a first position for blocking the humidification component 1 from being connected to the outside world, and a second position for connecting the humidification component 1 to the outside world. Compared with the plug-in type, the amount of cleaning and disinfecting agent remaining on the switch member 22 can be further reduced.

[0032] Further specifically, the switch member 22 can be a structural member similar to the shape of a bolt, including a head and a main rod. The head is round, and ribs can be set to facilitate manual rotation. The main rod extends into the first drain pipe 21, and a plate-like structure is provided at the end of the main rod away from the head. The plate-like structure can seal the first outlet during rotation, and when the surface extension direction of the plate-like structure is the same as that of the first drain pipe 21, water can pass through. The contact area with the water flow is small, and the residue of cleaning and disinfecting agents can be avoided.

[0033] In an embodiment of a humidification mechanism, the drainage component 2 also includes a first drain pipe 21 and a second drain pipe 23. The first drain pipe 21 is connected to the humidification component 1, and the other end of the first drain pipe 21 is a first outlet. One end of the second drain pipe 23 is connected to the first outlet, and the other end is a second outlet. The switch component 22 is located at the first outlet. When the switch component 22 is located at the first position, the connection between the first outlet and the second drain pipe 23 is blocked. When the switch component 22 is located at the second position, the first outlet is connected to the second drain pipe 23.

[0034] In this embodiment, by setting the second drain pipe 23, a connection point is formed with the first drain pipe 21, and the opening and closing of the connection point can make the whole open and closed. Since the first drain pipe 21 is directly connected to the humidification component 1, in a larger device, the first drain pipe 21 will extend into the interior of the device. Therefore, for the overall stability, the first drain pipe 21 can adopt a semi-fixed connection method. The first drain pipe 21 serves to drain the water, and the second drain pipe 23 further drains the water, serving as an extended drainage, and the second drain pipe 23 can also be detachably connected to the first drain pipe 21 in a convenient manner, thereby facilitating the replacement of the second drain pipe 23.

[0035] In an embodiment of the humidifying mechanism, the diameter of the end portion of the second drain pipe 23 where it communicates with the first outlet is smaller than the diameter of the first outlet.

[0036] In this embodiment, by such an arrangement, a smooth transition is provided at the connection point between the first drain pipe 21 and the second drain pipe 23, so that the water in the first drain pipe 21 can flow into the second drain pipe 23, thereby avoiding the accumulation of cleaning disinfectants and dirt in the first drain pipe 21.

[0037] In an embodiment of the humidifying mechanism, the humidifying mechanism further includes a sealing component 24 , and the sealing component 24 is provided with the first drain pipe 21 and is used to seal a gap outside the connection point between the first drain pipe 21 and the humidifying component 1 .

[0038] In this embodiment, the structural form of the sealing component 24 can be various, for example, it can be a sealing sleeve, a sealing ring, or a semi-ring arc structure. Specifically, the sealing gasket 24 can be a circular ring, and the material can be fluororubber or copper or other high temperature resistant materials.

[0039] In this embodiment, specifically, the connection method between the first drain pipe 21 and the humidification component 1 is a threaded connection. In order to improve the sealing performance, the sealing gasket 24 can be sleeved on the first drain pipe 21, so that the first drain pipe 21 and the humidification component 1 can be closely connected and the sealing performance can be improved.

[0040] In an embodiment of a humidifying mechanism, the humidifying component 1 includes a humidifying box 11, a spray tube 12, a heating element 13 and a float 14. A through hole is provided on the box cover of the humidifying box 11, the ball portion of the float 14 extends into the humidifying box 11, the rod portion of the float 14 is passed through the through hole, the spray tube 12 is connected to the humidifying box 11, and the heating element 13 is used to heat the spray tube 12 so that the water in the spray tube 12 can be atomized and sprayed out.

[0041] In this embodiment, by providing a float 14 and extending the stem of the float 14 outside the humidification box 11, a water-filled signal can be easily sent out, which can be detected by the detection system and can also be seen by the staff to avoid excessive water injection.

[0042] In an embodiment of the humidifying mechanism, the humidifying component 1 further includes a condensing component 15 , which is connected to the humidifying box 11 and is used to condense and export steam generated by heating water in the humidifying box 11 .

[0043] In the previous embodiment, due to the provision of the heating element 13, part of the water in the humidification box 11 will be vaporized during the heating process. In order to prevent this part of the steam from increasing the air pressure in the humidification box 11, the present embodiment provides a condensation component 15, which can be used to extract this part of the steam. In addition to balancing the air pressure, it can also prevent the steam from overflowing into the equipment and affecting the operation of other mechanisms.

[0044] Specifically, the condensation component 15 may be composed of several tubes, which are connected to the humidification box 11 and sealed.

[0045] In an embodiment of the humidifying mechanism, the humidifying mechanism further comprises a water inlet component 3 , which is connected to both a water source and the humidifying component 1 and is used to introduce water from the water source into the humidifying component 1 .

[0046] In this embodiment, by providing the water inlet assembly 3, the effect of connecting the water source and the humidification assembly 1 is achieved. By providing the water inlet assembly 3, the humidification assembly 1 can be prevented from being directly connected to the water source. Specifically, the water inlet assembly 3 includes a first water inlet pipe 31, a second water inlet pipe 32 and a first electronic valve 33. One end of the first water inlet pipe 31 is connected to the water source, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the first electronic valve 33. One end of the second water inlet pipe 32 is connected to the outlet of the electronic valve, and the other end is connected to the humidification assembly 1. By providing the first electronic valve 33, the effect of automatically controlling the water inlet can be achieved. Preferably, the first electronic valve 33 can be an electronic proportional valve.

[0047] In an embodiment of the humidification mechanism, the drainage component 2 further includes a driving member, an output end of which is connected to the switch member 22 and is used to drive the switch member 22 to switch to the first position or the second position.

[0048] In this embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the combination of the driving element and the switch element 22 can form a second electronic valve 25. By providing the driving element, the automation level can be further improved.

[0049] In combination with the previous embodiments, the operation process of the humidification mechanism of the utility model is described here:

[0050] First, the first electronic valve 33 is opened, and water enters the humidification box 11 from the first water inlet pipe 31, flows through the first electronic valve 33 and the second water inlet pipe 32, until the float 14 floats up to generate a signal of full water filling, and the water filling stage is completed; then, the heating element 13 heats the atomized water to generate steam to work. When it is necessary to drain water, the heating of the heating element 13 is stopped, and the driving element drives the switch element 22 to rotate to the second position.

[0051] The utility model also relates to a baby-raising device, comprising the humidifying mechanism in the foregoing embodiment, wherein the baby-raising device further comprises a box body, and the box body can receive the atomized water of the humidifying component 1 .

[0052] By adopting the humidifying mechanism in the previous embodiment, the infant care equipment can have a humidifying effect, and the humidifying mechanism is cleaned in a disinfected manner, thereby providing an effectively disinfected humidifying mechanism and achieving the effect of cleaning and disinfecting the entire pipeline.

[0053] The technical features of the above embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
