[0002] During the operation of a humidifier, the humidifying mesh on it needs to be continuously filled with water to ensure it remains moist, so that the air flowing through the humidifying mesh can carry as much water vapor as possible, achieving the effect of humidifying the air. In this case, part of the water on the humidifying mesh will fall back into the water tank below. In actual operation, it is found that part of the falling water will drip in the form of water droplets. Especially during the process of flowing back from the water tank cover to the bottom of the water tank, the water droplets will produce a certain dripping sound, affecting the user experience. However, current humidifiers cannot effectively eliminate this dripping sound, making the efforts of consuming a large amount of manpower and material resources for sound insulation design in vain.
