Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of humidifiers, and particularly to a fixing structure for a heating element of a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, a heating element is usually installed at the bottom of a housing through fasteners such as bolts. Although this design ensures the stability of the heating element to a certain extent, it also brings a series of potential problems. First of all, since the heating element generates high temperature during operation, and the fasteners such as bolts are directly in contact with the heated water flow, the ends of the bolts are in a high-temperature and high-humidity environment for a long time. Such an environment poses a great challenge to the stability of metal materials. Over time, the bolts are prone to deformation or even fracture due to thermal stress. This not only affects the normal operation of the humidifier but also may cause safety hazards.

[0003] Secondly, the heating device dissipates heat to the bottom of the housing for a long time, and the housing is generally made of plastic material. Although plastic materials have the advantages of being light and easy to process, their heat resistance is relatively poor. When exposed to a high-temperature environment for a long time, the plastic housing is prone to thermal deformation, aging, etc. In severe cases, it may even cause cracking or melting, seriously affecting the service life of the humidifier.

[0025] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "splicing", "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it may be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and may be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0026] Below in conjunction with Figures 1 to 5 , a fixed structure of a heating element of a humidifier according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described.

[0027] A fixed structure of a heating element of a humidifier includes a housing 1. The housing 1 is provided with a water storage area 11 and a heating area 12. The water storage area 11 is communicated with the heating area 12. The heating area 12 is provided with a heating element 2 and an installation assembly 3. The installation assembly 3 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the heating element 2. The installation assembly 3 is used for fixedly installing the heating element 2 and insulating the bottom of the heating area 12.

[0028] A fixing structure for a heating element of a humidifier in this solution. A water storage area 11 and a heating area 12 are provided on the housing 1, and the water storage area 11 is communicated with the heating area 12, so that the water flow in the water storage area 11 can flow into the heating area 12 to be heated, and then form steam, thus achieving the effect of humidification.

[0029] The installation component is used to install the heating element 2 at the bottom of the heating area 12. It can not only ensure the stable position relationship between them, prevent loosening or displacement during use, but also increase the stability of the internal structure of the humidifier, making the humidifier more stable and reliable during operation.

[0030] Moreover, the installation component can also insulate the bottom of the heating area 12, reducing the heat dissipation from the heating element 2 to the bottom of the housing 1, which may cause the housing 1 to be heated for a long time, resulting in problems such as deformation and cracking of the housing 1, and further affecting the use effect and service life of the humidifier in this solution. The heat insulation component 3 can also reduce the heat loss from the heating element 2 to the bottom of the housing 1, which can improve the thermal efficiency, enabling the heating element 2 to heat and evaporate water more efficiently.

[0031] Therefore, the setting of the installation component in this solution solves the problem that in traditional humidifiers, the bolts and the housing 1 are prone to failures after long-term use, seriously affecting the service life of the humidifier.

[0032] The installation component 3 includes a heat insulation piece 31 and an installation piece 32. The heat insulation piece 31 is sleeved on the bottom of the heating element 2, and the installation piece 32 is used to fixedly connect the heating element 2 and the heat insulation piece 31.

[0033] The heat insulation piece 31 sleeved on the bottom of the heating element 2 reduces the heat dissipation from the heating element 2 to the bottom of the housing 1, which may cause the housing 1 to be heated for a long time, resulting in problems such as deformation and cracking of the housing 1, and further affecting the use effect and service life of the humidifier in this solution. The heat insulation piece 31 can also reduce the heat loss from the heating element 2 to the bottom of the housing 1, which can improve the thermal efficiency, enabling the heating element 2 to heat and evaporate water more efficiently.

[0034] The installation piece 32 is used to fixedly connect the heating element 2 and the heat insulation piece 31. It can not only ensure the stable position relationship between them, prevent loosening or displacement during use, but also increase the stability of the internal structure of the humidifier, making the humidifier more stable and reliable during operation.

[0035] The heating element 2 includes an installation part 21 and a heating part 22. The heating part 22 is installed at the center of the installation part 21, and the heating part 22 gradually contracts from bottom to top.

[0036] The design of the heating part 22 gradually shrinking from bottom to top not only helps to generate higher temperatures in a smaller area, thereby improving the heating efficiency, but also enhances the convection effect, making the heat more evenly distributed. In addition, the gradually shrinking heating element 2 can also reduce the generation of thermal stress during the heating process, improving the stability and service life of the heater. At the same time, this design also helps to save materials and reduce costs, making it an efficient, energy-saving and practical heating solution.

[0037] The heat insulation part 31 includes a first heat insulation layer 311, a second heat insulation layer 312 and a connecting layer 313. The connecting layer 313 vertically connects the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312, and the connecting layer 313 is disposed around the heating part 22 in a ring shape. Accommodation holes are provided at the centers of both the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312, and the heating part 22 passes through the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312 through the accommodation holes.

[0038] Both the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312 are provided with accommodation holes, so that the heating part 22 can pass through the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312 to heat the water source in the heating area 12.

[0039] The first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312 function to form a double heat insulation barrier, such that heat needs to continuously pass through the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312 to reach the bottom of the housing 1, thereby greatly increasing the thermal resistance and reducing the heat transfer.

[0040] Moreover, the connecting member connects the first heat insulation layer 311 and the second heat insulation layer 312, which can play a role in structural support to ensure the overall stability and durability of the heat insulation part 31.

[0041] A plurality of threaded portions 321 are provided at the bottom of the mounting member 32. The threaded portions 321 vertically pass through the first heat insulation layer 311, the second heat insulation layer 312 and the mounting portion 21. Bolts are provided on the mounting portion 21, and the ends of the bolts pass through the mounting portion 21 and are threadedly connected to the threaded portions 321.

[0042] Traditional installation methods often use a combination of bolts and nuts. The end of the bolt sequentially passes through the mounting portion 21, the first heat insulation layer 311, the second heat insulation layer 312 and the mounting member 32, and then is threadedly connected to the nut. This connection method easily causes the bolts and nuts to be heated for a long time, resulting in a reduction in the hardness of the bolt material, making it more vulnerable to wear and impact damage. In some cases, high temperatures may also cause the material to become brittle, that is, it is more likely to break when subjected to impact or stress, seriously affecting the service life of the humidifier.

[0043] Therefore, a threaded portion 321 is provided in the present solution, and both the threaded portion 321 and the mounting member 32 are made of high-temperature resistant rubber material, which can withstand long-term high temperature and high humidity environments, and effectively reduce the situation where the bolts are in a high temperature environment for a long time, resulting in reduced hardness and deformation.

[0044] The gap between the first thermal insulation layer 311 and the second thermal insulation layer 312 is used to clamp the shell 1 , and the threaded portion 321 passes through the second thermal insulation layer 312 , the shell 1 , the first thermal insulation layer 311 and the mounting portion 21 in sequence.

[0045] The shell 1 extends into the gap between the first insulation layer 311 and the second insulation layer 312, and then the threaded portion 321 passes through the second insulation layer 312, the shell 1, the first insulation layer 311 and the mounting portion 21 in sequence, thereby fixing the heating component on the bottom of the shell 1.

[0046] The shell 1 is provided with a water valve 13 and a flow channel 14. The water valve 13 is installed at the bottom of the water storage area 11. One end of the flow channel 14 is connected to the water valve 13, and the other end of the flow channel 14 is connected to the heating area 12. The water valve 13 is used to adjust the water level change in the heating area 12.

[0047] When the water level in the heating area 12 is high, the water valve 13 is closed, which can control the flow of water in the water storage area 11 and reduce the flow of water into the heating area 12. When the water level in the heating area 12 is low, the water valve 13 is opened, so that the water in the water storage area 11 passes through the flow channel 14 and then is located in the heating area 12 to be heated and evaporated.

[0048] 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.
