Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of water tanks on humidifiers, and specifically to a detachable water tank system on a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] During the operation of a humidifier, the humidifying mesh assembly on it needs to be continuously filled with water to ensure it remains moist, so that the air flowing through the humidifying mesh assembly can carry as much water vapor as possible, achieving the effect of humidifying the air. In such a case, after long-term operation, water scale will adhere to structures such as the water tank and the humidifying mesh assembly. Moreover, since the humidifying mesh assembly needs to be in direct contact with the outside air, there will be relatively more dust on it, which not only easily breeds bacteria but also generates odors. Therefore, the best solution is to disassemble and clean it.

[0003] However, for current traditional humidifiers, the disassembly and cleaning process is cumbersome and poses a relatively high operation difficulty for ordinary consumers. Therefore, how to reduce the cleaning frequency, simplify the disassembly steps, and reduce the disassembly and cleaning workload is a key technical problem to be considered in the design and manufacture of new humidifiers.

[0004] For the above reasons, the inventor of the present invention has conducted in-depth research on existing humidifiers, especially the water tank structure, in order to design a new detachable water tank system on a humidifier that can solve the above problems. Summary of the Utility Model
