Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of humidifiers, and more specifically, to an air intake structure and a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] The mist-free humidifier can humidify the indoor air without generating water mist, improving the comfort of the living environment, and is thus increasingly favored by consumers. With the improvement of living standards, users have more and more functional requirements for humidifiers. Traditional mist-free humidifiers cannot monitor the humidity of indoor air. Generally, users adjust the power of the humidifier based on their own physical sensations and cannot check the indoor humidity in real time. In addition, when users want to aromatherapy the indoor while humidifying, many users will directly drop aromatherapy essential oil into the water in the water tank. During humidification, the aromatherapy molecules will volatilize and disperse into the indoor for aromatherapy. However, this method is not conducive to keeping the water in the water tank clean, and it is also easy to cause waste of essential oil when changing water.

[0003] In view of this, the applicant has put forward this application after studying the existing technologies. Summary of the Utility Model
