[0029] The present utility model provides a humidifying device.
[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6 , in an embodiment of the present utility model, the humidifying device includes a housing 100 and a wet film assembly 200. The housing 100 includes a water receiving part 110. The housing 100 forms an air duct 101 above the water receiving part 110. The wet film assembly 200 is disposed in the air duct 101. The water receiving part 110 is correspondingly provided with a first water tank 111 for the wet film assembly 200. The first water tank 111 has a partition wall 113 extending in the vertical direction. The partition wall 113 is provided with an openable and closable water passing port 114. At least when the water passing port 114 is open, a second water tank 112 is formed on the side of the partition wall 113 facing away from the first water tank 111.
[0031] In the technical solution of the present utility model, when the humidifying device is working, air enters the air duct 101 and can flow through the wet film assembly 200, thereby realizing the humidification of the air. A water spraying mechanism is provided above the wet film assembly 200. By spraying water on the wet film assembly 200, the wet film of the wet film assembly 200 is kept moist. Part of the sprayed water is absorbed by the wet film, and part will flow back to the first water tank 111. At this time, the water passing port 114 is in a closed state, and the first water tank 111 receives the water falling from above.
[0032] Among them, the water spraying mechanism can use a water pump 710 to pump water from the first water tank 111 above the wet film assembly 200. The humidifying device is further provided with a water tank 800 and a wind wheel 500. The water tank 800 is used to supply water resources to the first water tank 111, and the wind wheel 500 is used to guide air to flow through the wet film assembly 200. The wind wheel 500 can be configured to intake air axially and exhaust air radially. A volute portion 120 is formed through the structure of the housing 100. The wind wheel 500 is arranged axially relative to the wet film assembly 200, and an air outlet 121 is formed on the circumferential side of the volute portion 120. The air outlet 121 can be located on the side away from the water receiving portion 110.
[0033] Specifically, the humidifying device further includes a water guiding member 600. The water guiding member 600 is located above the wet film assembly 200 and is arranged relative to the wet film assembly 200. The water guiding member 600 is formed with a third water tank 610. The first water tank 111 and the third water tank 610 are communicated through a connecting pipe 720, and a water pump 710 is provided on the connecting pipe 720. In this way, the water pump 710 can pump water to drain the water in the first water tank 111 into the third water tank 610 of the water guiding member 600 through the connecting pipe 720. Appropriate orifices are opened in the third water tank 610 so that the water in the third water tank 610 can fall onto the wet film, thereby replenishing water to the wet film. The water falling from the third water tank 610 evaporates through the wet film or flows back to the second water tank 112 through the wet film. Of course, in other embodiments, other water spraying structures, such as a spray pipe, may also be provided above the wet film assembly 200.
[0034] When the humidifying device stops working, the water of the relevant mechanism will flow back to the first water tank 111. For example, the remaining water in the third water tank 610 will continue to fall, and the water that cannot be stored on the wet film will also fall to the first water tank 111. The water in the water pump 710 and the water pipe will also flow back to the first water tank 111. At this time, the water passing port 114 can be opened to form a second water tank 112 communicating with the first water tank 111. The water storage space of the first water tank 111 can be expanded through the second water tank 112, which can prevent the water level in the first water tank 111 from being too high, thereby preventing the water receiving portion 110 from overflowing. It can be understood that the volume of the second water tank 112 should be sufficient to hold the water in the third water tank 610, the wet film, the water pump 710, and the water pipe.
[0035] When the humidifier works again, after the water pump 710 pumps water from the first water tank 111, the water in the second water tank 112 can be discharged back into the first water tank 111 to empty the second water tank 112. In this way, this part of the water can be reused to humidify the wet film to save water consumption. At the same time, emptying the second water tank 112 is conducive to providing sufficient water storage capacity when the machine stops next time. Of course, the water passing port 114 can also be in a closed state, and the water pump 710 can first pump water from the second water tank 112 and then pump water from the first water tank 111 after the second water tank 112 is emptied. That is, in the first stage when the humidifying device starts to work, there is still water stored in the second water tank 112. In the second stage when the humidifying device works stably, the water in the second water tank 112 is emptied, and the emptied water enters the humidifying flow path of the humidifier.
[0036] In addition, the second water tank 112 can exist continuously in the water receiving part 110, or can be formed by specific means when the humidifying device stops operating.
[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the humidifying device includes a blocking member 300, and the blocking member 300 is movably arranged to cover the water passing port 114. In this way, when the blocking member 300 moves relative to the water passing port 114, the water passing port 114 can be correspondingly opened or closed. Of course, in other embodiments, a water valve can be provided at the water passing port 114, and the opening and closing of the water passing port 114 can be controlled by the water valve.
[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, when the blocking member 300 closes the water passing port 114, the blocking member 300 is arranged to fit against the partition wall 113; as Figure 6As shown, when the baffle 300 opens the water passing port 114, the second water tank 112 is formed between the baffle 300 and the partition wall 113. That is, in this embodiment, when the baffle 300 closes the water passing port 114, the second water tank 112 is not formed on the side of the partition wall 113 facing away from the first water tank 111. By the relative movement of the baffle 300 with respect to the housing 100, a space is formed between the baffle 300 and the partition wall 113. The baffle 300 cooperates with the corresponding structure, so that the space between the baffle 300 and the partition wall 113 can be used as the second water tank 112 to store water. Thus, when the humidifying device is started, a part of the water in the first water tank 111 is pumped into the third water tank 610 of the water guiding member 600 by the water pump 710, and the water level of the water storage space formed by the connection of the first water tank 111 and the second water tank 112 will drop. At this time, the baffle 300 moves relative to the housing 100 in the direction of closing the water passing port 114, which can reduce the space of the second water tank 112, and at the same time drive the water in the second water tank 112 into the first water tank 111 until the baffle 300 fits against the partition wall 113, that is, the baffle 300 closes the water passing port 114. At this time, the second water tank 112 also disappears correspondingly, and it can be regarded that the water in the second water tank 112 is emptied. Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that the second water tank 112 continuously exists on the other side of the partition wall 113, and by moving the baffle 300 away from the water passing port 114, the second water tank 112 is communicated with the first water tank 111.
[0039] Further, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 shown, the water passing port 114 is arranged near the bottom of the partition wall 113. Thus, when the first water tank 111 fills the second water tank 112 through the water passing port 114, it can be more smooth, and it is beneficial to keep the water levels of the first water tank 111 and the second water tank 112 flat, so that the second water tank 112 can share more water for the first water tank 111. When the second water tank 112 drains water to the first water tank 111 through the water passing port 114, the water can also be discharged smoothly, and it is convenient to empty the second water tank 112. Of course, in other embodiments, it may also be that the water passing port 114 may not be arranged near the bottom, and the height of the water passing port 114 is lower than the warning water level of the first water tank 111, so that the first water tank 111 will not overflow.
[0040] Further, in this embodiment, the baffle 300 is movably connected to the housing 100. In this way, when the baffle 300 closes the water passing opening 114, by driving the baffle 300 to move away from the partition wall 113, a second water tank 112 can be formed between the baffle 300 and the partition wall 113, and at the same time, the water passing opening 114 is opened. When it is necessary to close the water outlet, by driving the baffle 300 to move towards the partition wall 113 until the baffle 300 fits against the partition wall 113, that is, the water passing opening 114 can be closed. Of course, in other embodiments, the baffle 300 can also be rotatably connected to the housing 100. Specifically, one side edge of the baffle 300 is rotatably connected to one side edge of the partition wall 113, and an arc-shaped wall is connected to the other side edge of the partition wall 113. When the baffle 300 rotates to open the water passing opening 114, the other side edge of the baffle 300 will move along the arc-shaped wall, so that a fan-shaped second water tank 112 is formed between the baffle 300 and the partition wall 113.
[0041] Further, in this embodiment, as Figures 4 to 6 shown, the humidifying device further includes a driving device 410. The driving device 410 is connected with a driving gear 420, the baffle 300 is connected with a transmission rack 430, and the driving gear 420 and the transmission rack 430 are engaged and transmitted. In this way, after the driving device 410 is started, it can drive the driving gear 420 to rotate. Through the meshing cooperation of the driving gear 420 and the transmission rack 430, the transmission rack 430 is driven to move, so as to drive the baffle 300 to move. Specifically, the driving device 410, the driving gear 420 and the transmission rack 430 are all located on the side of the baffle 300 away from the partition wall 113. By rotating the driving device 410 forward or backward, the baffle 300 can be driven to move in different directions, so that the baffle 300 can be switched between the position where the water passing opening 114 is opened and the second water tank 112 is formed and the position where the water passing opening 114 is closed. Of course, in other embodiments, the driving device 410 can also drive the baffle 300 to move through a lead screw slider mechanism. Or, the driving device 410 is not provided, but a compression spring is connected to the side of the baffle 300 away from the partition wall 113. Due to the elastic force of the compression spring, the baffle 300 can be maintained in a state of fitting against the partition wall 113. When the water level in the first water tank 111 is too high, the water pressure at the water passing opening 114 can exert pressure on the baffle 300 to overcome the elastic force of the compression spring, so that the baffle 300 moves away from the partition wall 113, thus forming the second water tank 112. When the water level in the first water tank 111 drops, under the action of the compression spring, the baffle 300 will fit against the partition wall 113 again to close the water passing opening 114.
[0042] Further, in this embodiment, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the water receiving portion 110 is configured to form a mounting groove 130 on the side of the partition wall 113 away from the first water tank 111, and the blocking member 300 is received in the mounting groove 130 and is sealed with the groove wall of the mounting groove 130. In this way, when the blocking member 300 opens the water outlet 114, the space between the mounting groove 130 and the blocking member 300 forms the second water tank 112. Specifically, the blocking member 300 cooperates with the groove wall of the mounting groove 130 to form the second water tank 112. It can be understood that the space of the mounting groove 130 on the other side of the blocking member 300 is also used to accommodate the driving device 410 and related components. The blocking member 300 and the groove wall of the mounting groove 130 are sealed, so that the water in the second water tank 112 will not leak to the space on the other side of the blocking member 300.
[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the top of the installation groove 130 is closed, and the periphery of the blocking member 300 is sealed and connected to the groove wall of the installation groove 130. Specifically, the periphery of the blocking member 300 can be sleeved with a sealing ring, or the outer periphery of the blocking member 300 can be integrally formed with an elastic ring, so that the blocking member 300 can be sealed and matched with the top wall, bottom wall and two side walls of the installation groove 130, and can effectively prevent the second water tank 112 from overflowing to other positions. Of course, in other embodiments, the top of the installation groove 130 can also be provided with an open structure, and the blocking member 300 is sealed and matched with the bottom wall and two side walls of the installation groove 130.
[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, if Figure 5 As shown, the length direction of the installation groove 130 is parallel to the wet film surface of the wet film assembly 200, the first water tank 111 includes a first tank section 1111 and a second tank section 1112 connected in an L shape, and partially surrounds the installation groove 130, the first tank section 1111 is arranged opposite to the wet film assembly 200, and the partition wall 113 is arranged in the second tank section 1112. That is, the first tank section 1111 and the second tank section 1112 are arranged corresponding to the long side and the short side of the installation groove 130, respectively, to form a structure that partially surrounds the installation groove 130, the first tank section 1111 shares the long side tank wall on one side of the installation groove 130, and the second tank section 1112 and the installation groove 130 share the partition wall 113 as the side tank wall. In this way, the volume of the first trough section 1111 can be effectively widened, and at the same time, the second trough section 1112 is arranged away from the wet membrane assembly 200, and the water pump 710 is arranged close to the second trough section 1112, which can facilitate the water pump 710 to pump water.
