[0039] Figure 1 is an exploded schematic diagram of a humidifier according to an exemplary embodiment. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Partial schematic diagram of the humidifier, Figure 3 yes Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the decomposition of Figure 4 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the cross section of the humidifier. Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the humidifier includes a shell 1, a water tank 2, a wet curtain assembly 3 and a wind wheel assembly. The shell 1 may include an air inlet 11, an air outlet 12, a supporting plate 13 and a accommodating chamber 14. The water tank 2 is arranged in the accommodating chamber 14, and the water tank 2 and the supporting plate 13 are stacked. For example, the water tank 2 can be arranged above the supporting plate 13, and there can be no gap or a small gap between the two. The specific design can be based on needs.

[0040] The wet curtain assembly 3 and the wind wheel assembly can both be arranged in the shell 1, and the wet curtain assembly 3 is arranged between the wind wheel assembly and the water tank 2. The wet curtain assembly 3 may include a water uniformity structure located at the top and a hollow wet curtain located below the water uniformity structure. The hollow wet curtain is arranged corresponding to the air inlet 11. The water uniformity structure and the water tank 2 can be connected through a water pipe. The liquid in the water tank 2 is further pumped to the water uniformity structure through a water pump. Under the action of gravity, the liquid drips down from the water uniformity structure to wet the hollow wet curtain.

[0041] The wind wheel assembly includes a wind wheel body and a motor. The wind wheel body can be driven to rotate by the motor. The wind wheel body is located above the hollow part of the hollow wet curtain. Therefore, when the motor is started, the wind wheel body rotates, the air inlet 11 is sucked and further passes through the hollow wet curtain to be moistened and enter the hollow part of the hollow wet curtain, and then is guided to the air outlet 12 through the air outlet channel set in the housing 1 and discharged from the air outlet 12.

[0042] Furthermore, a filter screen can be provided between the hollow wet curtain and the air inlet 11, through which the air entering the humidifier can be filtered, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airflow discharged from the air outlet 12. Since the hollow wet curtain is arranged in a surrounding shape, the air inlet 11 can be provided on all sides of the housing 1 corresponding to the hollow wet curtain, thereby increasing the air intake and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0043] The housing 1 may be a split structure, for example, the housing 1 may include a main body 15 and a hatch 16, the accommodating cavity 14 and the carrying plate 13 are both arranged in the main body 15, and the hatch 16 is detachably connected to the main body 15, so as to Figure 3 As shown, when the hatch 16 is opened, the accommodating cavity 14 is exposed, and the user can assemble or disassemble the water tank 2. When the hatch 16 is assembled to the main body 15, the accommodating cavity 14 can be shielded to prevent the water tank 2 from being exposed.

[0044] It is understandable that due to processing tolerance or assembly requirements, the actual volume of the accommodating chamber 14 needs to be larger than the volume of the water tank 2, which also results in a gap between the water tank 2 and the inner wall of the accommodating chamber 14. When the humidifier moves quickly or stops moving, the water tank 2 will inevitably move in the accommodating chamber 14 due to inertia. Figure 5 As shown, the water tank 2 may include a clamping portion 21 disposed on the outside. For example, the clamping portion 21 may be disposed toward the supporting plate 13. The humidifier may also include Figure 6 The limiting member 5 shown, as Figure 7-Figure 9 As shown, the position-limiting member 5 further includes a shaft portion 51, a first connection portion 52, and a second connection portion 53. The shaft portion 51 is connected between the first connection portion 52 and the second connection portion 53, and the position-limiting member 5 can be arranged on the outer side of the side of the water tank 2 provided with the clamping portion 21. When one of the first connection portion 52 and the second connection portion 53 rotates in a first direction around the axis of the shaft portion 51, the other rotates in a second direction around the axis of the shaft portion 51. The first direction and the second direction are opposite, for example, the first direction can be clockwise and the second direction can be counterclockwise. During the rotation of the first connection portion 52 around the axis of the shaft portion 51, the first connection portion 52 can move toward the clamping portion 21 of the water tank 2 until it is clamped with the clamping portion 21 to limit the water tank 2, thereby preventing the water tank 2 from moving in the accommodating chamber 14.

[0045] For example, in the embodiment provided by the present disclosure, the shaft portion 51 can be rotatably connected to the side of the bearing plate 13 away from the water tank 2, the bearing plate 13 can be provided with an avoidance groove, and the first connecting portion 52 can be provided with an avoidance groove to be engaged with the clamping portion 21, so as to facilitate setting the gap between the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 14 and the limiting member 5 to be relatively small, and reduce the requirements for the clamping strength between the clamping portion 21 and the first connecting portion 52. Optionally, the clamping portion 21 can be a clamping groove, and the first connecting portion 52 can include a clamping block 521 that cooperates with the clamping groove; or the clamping portion 21 can be a clamping block, and the first connecting portion 52 can include a clamping groove that cooperates with the clamping portion 21. Optionally, the clamping portion 21 can be a clamping groove, and the first connecting portion 52 can include a clamping hook that cooperates with the clamping groove, or the clamping portion 21 can be a clamping hook, and the first connecting portion 52 can include a clamping groove that cooperates with the clamping hook, and the specific design can be as needed, and the present disclosure does not limit this.

[0046] In the above embodiment, the water tank 2 is set above the bearing plate 13 as an example, and the water tank 2 is hooked by the clamping part 21 and the first connecting part 52 to prevent the water tank 2 from moving in the accommodating chamber 14. In other embodiments, the bearing plate 13 can also be set above the water tank 2, and the water tank 2 can also be hooked by the clamping part 21 and the first connecting part 52 to prevent the water tank 2 from moving in the accommodating chamber 14. In the above embodiment, the bearing plate 13 is set between the water tank 2 and the limiting member 5 as an example. In other embodiments, the limiting member 5 can also be set between the bearing plate 13 and the water tank 2, and the shaft part 51 can be rotatably connected with the bearing plate 13 or rotatably connected with the water tank 2 or rotatably connected with a relatively fixed part of the water tank 2. Optionally, in some embodiments, the bearing plate may not be set, and the shaft part 51 can be rotatably connected with the water tank 2 or rotatably connected with a relatively fixed part of the water tank 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the limiting and releasing of the limiting can be achieved by manually rotating the limiting member 5; in other embodiments, the humidifier further comprises an operating member, which, when in the assembled state, presses against the second connection portion 53, and the limiting member 5 rotates relative to the water tank 2, so that the first connection portion 52 can move toward the clamping portion 21 until it is clamped with the clamping portion 21; when the operating member is in the disassembled state, it is separated from the second connection portion 53, and the first connection portion 52 moves away from the clamping portion 21, thereby separating from the clamping portion 21, releasing the limiting of the water tank 2, and facilitating the removal of the water tank 2. Based on this, the limiting and releasing of the water tank 2 can be achieved by assembling and disassembling the operating member, which can be achieved with the help of the parts structure of the humidifier itself, so as to realize the functional reuse of the operating member.

[0048] Among them, the operating member can be any part assembled with the shell 1; or, the operating member can be a hatch 16, and the hatch 16 is provided with a pressing portion 161. When the hatch 16 is assembled with the main body 15, the pressing portion 161 can press the limiting member 5, so that the limiting member 5 rotates relative to the water tank 2, thereby realizing the clamping connection between the clamping portion 21 and the first connecting portion 52, and the spring 6 is deformed synchronously; when the hatch 16 is disassembled from the main body 15, the pressing portion 161 releases the pressure on the limiting member 5, and the elastic force generated by the reset of the spring 6 drives the limiting member 5 to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the water tank 2, so that the clamping portion 21 and the first connecting portion 52 are separated, and the limitation on the water tank 2 is released.

[0049] Among them, the second connecting part 53 may include a lower pressure plate 531 arranged at the end, through the action of the lower pressure plate 531 and the operating part, the operating part presses the lower pressure plate 531 downward to make the limit member 5 rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft part 51, and since the lower pressure plate 531 is arranged in a plate-like structure, it is beneficial for the operating part to stably transmit force to the limit member, drive the limit member 5 to rotate, and help avoid the situation where the operating member slips.

[0050] In each of the above embodiments, the humidifier may further include a spring 6, one end of the spring 6 is connected to the limiter, and the other end is connected to the carrier plate 13. When the first connection portion 52 is engaged with the clamping portion 21, the spring 6 is in a deformed state. When the first connection portion 52 and the clamping portion 21 are switched toward a separation state, the spring 6 is reset, thereby driving the limiter 5 to rotate and releasing the limit on the water tank 2. The provision of the spring 6 is thus conducive to improving the operating feel. For example, taking the operating member as an example, when the operating member is in an assembled state and presses against the limiter 5, the spring 6 is in a deformed state. When the operating member is disassembled to a disassembled state, the spring 6 returns to its deformed state, driving the limiter 5 to rotate and releasing the limit on the water tank 2.

[0051] In some embodiments, the spring 6 can be a compression spring or a tension spring; in other embodiments, the spring 6 includes a compression spring 61 and a tension spring 62. When the stopper 5 is arranged on the side of the bearing plate 13 away from the water tank 2, the compression spring 61 connects the bearing plate 13 and the first connection part 52, and the tension spring 62 connects the bearing plate 13 and the second connection part 53. In this way, when the stopper 5 rotates relative to the bearing plate 13 so that the clamping part 21 is clamped with the first connection part 52, the second connection part 53 is subjected to a force away from the bearing plate 13, so that the distance between the second connection part 53 and the bearing plate 13 increases, and the tension spring 62 switches to a stretched state to store potential energy; and the rotation direction of the first connection part 52 is opposite to that of the second connection part 53, so that the distance between the first connection part 52 and the bearing plate 13 decreases, and the compression spring 61 switches to a compressed state to store potential energy, so as to facilitate the subsequent automatic reset.

[0052] Optionally, the limit member 5 may also be located between the water tank 2 and the supporting plate 13, with the compression spring 61 connecting the supporting plate 13 and the second connecting portion 53, and the compression spring 61 connecting the supporting plate 13 and the first connecting portion 52, so that when the limit member 5 rotates relative to the supporting plate 13 so that the clamping portion 21 is clamped with the first connecting portion 52, due to the pressing action of the operating member, the compression spring 61 switches to a compressed state to deform and store potential energy, thereby realizing subsequent automatic reset.

[0053] In any of the above embodiments, the humidifier may further include a roller, which may partially protrude from the supporting plate 13 and roll with the bottom of the water tank 2, thereby facilitating improving the smoothness of disassembly and assembly of the water tank 2 by the user; and combined with the limiting effect of the clamping portion 21 and the first connecting portion 52 on the water tank 2, the water tank 2 may be prevented from sliding under the action of the roller; similarly, the shell 1 may further include a substrate arranged under the supporting plate 13, and the humidifier also includes a pulley for contacting the ground, which protrudes from the substrate, thereby improving the fluidity of the humidifier movement, which is beneficial to reducing labor costs.

[0054] Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate other embodiments of the present disclosure after considering the specification and practicing the disclosure disclosed herein. The present disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the present disclosure that follow the general principles of the present disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art that are not disclosed in the present disclosure.
