[0002] In home life, humidifiers are widely used to adjust indoor humidity, especially in dry seasons or environments. In order to enhance the user's comfort experience, some humidifiers have an aromatherapy function, so that users can enjoy the moist air while also feeling the relaxation and pleasure brought by aromatherapy. This design is usually achieved by dripping aromatherapy essential oils into the water tank. When the humidifier is working, the essential oils are atomized together with the water and released into the air.

[0003] However, although the aromatherapy function brings additional enjoyment to users, it also brings some potential problems. First, aromatherapy essential oils usually contain various chemical components, which may react chemically with the internal materials of the humidifier, causing corrosion. Long-term use of aromatherapy essential oils, especially at high concentrations, will accelerate the corrosion of the humidifier material, causing it to gradually lose its original function and durability.

[0004] Secondly, the viscosity and density of aromatherapy essential oils are often greater than water, and they tend to accumulate inside the humidifier, especially in key areas such as the atomizing nozzle or the outlet. These accumulated aromatherapy substances may clog the outlet, causing the humidifier to be unable to atomize water normally or even stop working completely. This not only affects the normal use of the humidifier, but may also cause inconvenience and distress to the user. Utility Model Content

[0028] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 , describing a humidifier utilizing steam heating for aromatherapy according to an embodiment of the utility model.

[0029] A humidifier using steam to heat aromatherapy, comprising a base 1, a water tank 2 and a steam pipe 3, wherein the base 1 is provided with a first water storage chamber 11, a second water storage chamber 12 and a flow channel 13, wherein the flow channel 13 connects the first water storage chamber 11 with the second water storage chamber 12, the first water storage chamber 11 is connected to the water tank 2, and the second water storage chamber 12 is connected to the steam pipe 3;

[0030] The top of the steam pipe 3 is detachably mounted with an aromatherapy cup 4, and the top of the steam pipe 3 is provided with a steam port, which allows steam to pass through the steam pipe 3 and heat the aromatherapy cup 4, and the aromatherapy cup 4 is used to store and volatilize aromatherapy essential oils.

[0031] In this embodiment, a humidifier using steam to heat aromatherapy is provided. The water in the water tank 2 flows through the first water storage chamber 11, the flow channel 13 and the second water storage chamber 12 in sequence, and then is heated in the second water storage chamber 12 to form steam. The steam passes through the steam port at the top of the steam pipe 3, and then heats the aromatherapy cup 4, so that the aromatherapy essential oil in the aromatherapy cup 4 volatilizes and emits fragrance.

[0032] The aromatherapy cup 4 is detachably mounted on the steam pipe 3 , so that the user can quickly and conveniently disassemble the aromatherapy cup 4 and add or replace the aromatherapy essential oil.

[0033] In this solution, the method of separating the aromatherapy essential oil and the water phase can effectively solve the problem of adding aromatherapy essential oil into the water tank 2 of the traditional humidifier, which leads to a short service life of the humidifier.

[0034] The steam pipe 3 is provided with a first steam cavity 33 and a second steam cavity 32. The top of the first steam cavity 33 is connected with the bottom of the second steam cavity 32, and the bottom of the first steam cavity 33 is connected with the second water storage cavity 12; the top of the second steam cavity 32 is connected with the outside, and the top of the second steam cavity 32 is snap-connected with the aromatherapy cup 4.

[0035] Compared with the conventional humidifier which has only one steam cavity, the temperature and pressure of the steam are adjusted to a certain extent during the flow of the steam between the first steam cavity 33 and the second steam cavity 32, which helps to reduce the possibility of the steam condensing into water droplets near the air outlet. This can not only avoid the inconvenience caused by the direct dripping of water droplets to the user, but also protect the device from the erosion of water droplets.

[0036] The aromatherapy cup 4 is snap-fitted and installed on the top of the second steam cavity 32, so that the steam can not only humidify after passing through the second steam cavity 32, but also heat the aromatherapy cup 4, so that the aromatherapy essential oil in the aromatherapy cup 4 evaporates and emits fragrance.

[0037] The first steam cavity 33 gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the second steam cavity 32 gradually increases from bottom to top.

[0038] The first steam cavity 33 gradually shrinks from bottom to top, so that the water vapor can be compressed and accelerated to a certain extent before entering the second steam cavity 32. When the steam enters the second steam cavity 32, the steam will be rapidly diffused due to the gradual expansion of the second steam cavity 32, which can not only increase the humidification range and improve the humidification efficiency, but also reduce the noise caused by the change of flow rate.

[0039] Since the steam is compressed and accelerated in the first steam cavity 33, the temperature may increase. When the steam enters the second steam cavity 32, although the flow rate decreases, the pressure of the steam decreases due to the gradual increase in the cavity, and the temperature may decrease slightly, but still remain at a high level. This helps prevent the steam from condensing into water droplets near the air outlet, avoiding the water droplets from dripping directly and causing inconvenience to the user or damage to the equipment.

[0040] The hourglass-shaped design of the first steam cavity 33 and the second steam cavity 32 can make the steam form a certain vortex effect at the air outlet, so that the steam is more evenly distributed in the surrounding environment, thereby improving the uniformity and effect of humidification.

[0041] The aromatherapy cup 4 is a circular ring structure, and a central hole of the aromatherapy cup 4 is connected to the top of the second steam cavity 32 .

[0042] It is worth noting that the hourglass-shaped design of the first steam cavity 33 and the second steam cavity 32 can make the steam more evenly distributed in the surrounding environment. At this time, the aromatherapy cup 4 is designed as a ring, which increases the contact area between the steam and the inner wall of the aromatherapy cup 4, and can evenly heat the aromatherapy essential oil in the aromatherapy cup 4, so that the aromatherapy essential oil can evaporate to the outside and release the fragrance.

[0043] The base 1 also includes a third water storage chamber 14 and a water supply valve 15 . The water supply valve 15 is installed in the first water storage chamber 11 . The third water storage chamber 14 is connected to the first water storage chamber 11 through the water supply valve 15 . The third water storage chamber 14 is connected to the flow channel 13 .

[0044] A water supply valve 15 is provided at the bottom of the first water storage chamber 11, and the water supply valve 15 can automatically adjust the water supply according to the actual humidity of the indoor environment. When the indoor humidity reaches the set ideal value, the water supply valve 15 is closed to block the water flow into the third water storage chamber 14, and then the water flows into the second water storage chamber 12 for evaporation, thereby realizing intelligent control of humidity. This intelligent feature avoids the adverse effects of excessively high or low humidity on human health.

[0045] It is worth noting that if the water flows directly from the first water storage chamber 11 into the second water storage chamber 12, it may directly impact the heating device in the second water storage chamber 12, resulting in reduced heating efficiency or damage to the equipment. Therefore, the present solution is provided with a third water storage chamber 14, which can buffer and regulate the water flow and reduce the impact of the water flow on the heating device. When the heating device in the second water storage chamber 12 is working, it may cause changes in the water flow speed or pressure. The third water storage chamber 14 can serve as an intermediate link to stabilize the water flow and prevent the water flow from being too fast or too slow due to heating.

[0046] The flow channel 13 is provided with a plurality of vertical baffles 131 , and the baffles 131 are arranged in a staggered manner.

[0047] The plurality of staggered baffles 131 can reduce the impact force of the water flow on the heating device or the flow channel 13, thereby protecting the heating device from damage. In addition, the baffles 131 can also prevent impurities or particles in the water flow from directly impacting the device, thereby extending the service life of the device.

[0048] The slow flow ring 16 is installed on the outer side of the water supply valve. The slow flow ring 16 is provided with a water through hole 161 . Two water through holes 161 are arranged opposite to each other. The water through holes 161 communicate with the inside of the slow flow hole and the third water storage chamber 14 .

[0049] The slow flow ring 16 is introduced to solve the impact force and turbulence problems that may be generated when the water flows directly into the third water storage chamber 14. When the water supply valve is opened, the water will quickly enter the slow flow ring 16. Due to the special design of the slow flow ring 16, the space inside it can temporarily accommodate part of the water flow, so that the speed and impact force of the water flow will be slowed down to a certain extent inside the slow flow ring 16.

[0050] At the same time, the water holes 161 on the slow flow ring 16 are arranged relatively to each other. This layout can ensure that the water flow can form a more stable and uniform water flow distribution when entering the third water storage chamber 14 through the water holes 161. Compared with the case without the slow flow ring 16, this design can significantly reduce the possibility of the water flow directly impacting the bottom or side wall of the third water storage chamber 14, thereby reducing the water flow noise and avoiding damage to the internal structure of the humidifier.

[0051] In addition, the slow flow ring 16 can also play a certain role in filtering and purifying the water quality. When the water flows through the slow flow ring 16, the impurities and particles therein may be deposited inside the slow flow ring 16 due to the reduced speed, thereby reducing the risk of clogging subsequent equipment.

[0052] The top of the aromatherapy cup 4 is connected to the outside, and the bottom of the aromatherapy cup 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the second steam cavity 32 .

[0053] Since the top of the aromatherapy cup 4 is connected to the outside, the user can easily add aromatherapy essential oil to the aromatherapy cup 4. When the aromatherapy essential oil is used up, the user only needs to simply add or replace the aromatherapy essential oil on the top of the aromatherapy cup 4. If the user needs to change to a different fragrance, the user only needs to simply remove the aromatherapy cup 4 from the humidifier, replace the aromatherapy liquid, and then put it back in place.

[0054] This design not only improves the user's convenience, but also ensures the safety and hygiene of the process of adding and replacing the aromatherapy liquid.

[0055] The technical principle of the present invention is described above in combination with specific embodiments. These descriptions are only for explaining the principle of the present invention and cannot be interpreted as limiting the protection scope of the present invention in any way. Based on the explanations here, technicians in this field can think of other specific implementation methods of the present invention without creative work, and these methods will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
