Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of humidifier antibacterial modules, in particular to an antibacterial module suitable for use in a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] In winter, people usually use humidifiers at home to increase the humidity of the air. In a humid environment, bacteria are prone to grow. In order to suppress this situation from the source, people have begun to add antibacterial agents directly to the water in the humidifier or to the humidifier shell to give the water in the humidifier certain antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.

[0003] At present, humidifiers generally add antibacterial agents directly to water, but the dosage is uncontrollable and easy to harm the human body, or only the humidifier shell is treated with antibacterial agents, but the antibacterial effect is not very ideal. At the same time, the commonly used antibacterial methods on the market also include the use of glass antibacterial modules, but their cost is relatively high, and glass products will produce glass residues or debris, which can easily cause harm to the user's body. Therefore, we propose to design an antibacterial module suitable for use in humidifiers. Utility Model Content

In addition, in actual production, the three-dimensional dimensions of length, width and depth should be included.

[0024] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present invention more clear, the implementation mode of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] See also Figure 1-5The utility model provides an antibacterial module suitable for use in a humidifier, including an outer mounting tube 1, a tube cover 2 is provided on the top and bottom of the outer mounting tube 1, a sealing ring 7 is fixedly connected to the tube cover 2 at one edge of the outer mounting tube 1, and the sealing ring 7 is tightly fitted with the outer mounting tube 1, so that the tube cover 2 can be fixed at both ends of the outer mounting tube 1.

[0026] A dispersion screen 11 is embedded and fixedly connected inside the cylinder cover 2, and a plurality of dispersion holes are opened inside the dispersion screen 11. An inner mounting cylinder 3 is arranged inside the outer mounting cylinder 1, and a cavity 4 is arranged between the outer mounting cylinder 1 and the inner mounting cylinder 3. Four connecting strips 5 are fixedly connected between the outer mounting cylinder 1 and the inner mounting cylinder 3, and a cavity 4 is arranged between two adjacent connecting strips 5. When placed in water, it is convenient to provide buoyancy for the antibacterial module. When the inorganic antibacterial agent 8 is slowly released, it is convenient to make the outer mounting cylinder 1 float, so as to prompt the user to replace it.

[0027] The inner installation cylinder 3 is provided with an inorganic antibacterial agent 8, which can be slowly released into the water through the dispersion mesh plate 11 to disinfect and sterilize the water. The cylinder cover 2 is fixedly connected with a threaded ring 6 on one side close to the outer installation cylinder 1, and the threaded ring 6 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the inner installation cylinder 3, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the cylinder cover 2 and the replacement of the inorganic antibacterial agent 8.

[0028] An annular groove 9 is provided on the inner wall of the inner mounting tube 3, and a counterweight plate 10 is provided on the inner wall of the annular groove 9, so that the number of the counterweight plates 10 can be increased or decreased according to the weight of the inorganic antibacterial agent 8, so that at the end of use, the sustained-release inorganic antibacterial agent 8 particles can float on the water surface, and the outer mounting tube 1 with reduced weight can float in the water as a whole.

[0029] A limiting assembly 12 is provided at the center of the cylinder cover 2, and the limiting assembly 12 includes a limiting cylinder 121 embedded and fixedly connected to the center of the dispersion mesh plate 11, a sliding rod 122 is slidably connected inside the limiting cylinder 121, and a spring 123 is fixedly connected to the sliding rod 122 and the inner wall of the limiting cylinder 121, and a pressure plate 124 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 122. The elastic force of the spring 123 in the two cylinder covers 2 facilitates the pressing plate 124 to position the inorganic antibacterial agent 8 in the inner installation cylinder 3.

[0030] The inorganic antibacterial agent 8 in the device is obtained by mixing and stirring nano zinc oxide and PP (polypropylene) particles, or zinc-loaded zeolite powder and PP (polypropylene) particles at high temperature, kneading, extruding, cooling, pelletizing, and finally injection molding.

[0031] During use, the outer mounting cylinder 1 filled with the inorganic antibacterial agent 8 is placed in the humidifier, and the inorganic antibacterial agent 8 enters the water through slow release to disinfect the water in the humidifier. At the same time, as the use time increases, the inorganic antibacterial agent 8 in the inner mounting cylinder 3 is continuously released through the dispersion mesh plate 11, so that the overall weight of the outer mounting cylinder 1 decreases. When the module needs to be replaced, the buoyancy generated by the cavity 4 is greater than its gravity, so that the outer mounting cylinder 1 floats, which is convenient for reminding the staff to replace the inorganic antibacterial agent 8.

[0032] This device utilizes the cross-linked structure of PP (polypropylene) materials and weaker connections such as branching produced during the processing process to control the release rate of the antibacterial agent, so that the water in the humidifier gains antibacterial ability, thereby reducing the risk of respiratory disease transmission. At the same time, it controls the concentration of effective antibacterial factors in the water, keeping it below a safe concentration at all times to avoid causing physical harm to the user.

[0033] At the same time, since the antibacterial factors in the antibacterial module are slowly released, its long-term use is guaranteed. According to normal usage habits, a module can be used normally for 2-3 months, and it only needs to be replaced once in a winter to achieve the purpose of antibacterial of the humidifier. Its use cost is only 1 / 20 of a humidifier with antibacterial function, and only 1 / 2 of similar glass products.

[0034] Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiments, various modifications may be made thereto and parts thereof may be replaced with equivalents without departing from the scope of the present invention. In particular, as long as there is no structural conflict, the various features in the embodiments disclosed in the present invention may be used in combination with each other in any manner, and the fact that these combinations are not exhaustively described in this specification is only for the sake of omitting space and saving resources. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, but includes all technical solutions falling within the scope of the claims.
