[0002] As air pollution becomes increasingly serious, people's demand for atomization devices is also increasing.

[0003] The atomizing device can humidify the air, making the ambient air fresher and making people more comfortable. The structure of the atomizing device usually includes a body and a water tank. During the specific assembly process of the atomizing device, the insert portion in the body needs to be inserted into the matching portion at the bottom of the water tank, so that the water in the water tank flows into the water storage chamber to be atomized. Since the insert portion and the matching portion need to be aligned and inserted in the water storage chamber, it is difficult for the user to observe the specific alignment of the insert portion and the matching portion. This will cause deviations between the insert portion and the matching portion, resulting in a situation where alignment is impossible, requiring the user to adjust multiple times. The operation is more complicated and also leads to low operating efficiency, thereby affecting the overall working efficiency of the atomizing device. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide an atomizing device to solve the problem of how to achieve precise alignment and installation of the insertion portion and the matching portion.

Among them, the end surfaces of all the fool-proofing structures away from the inner wall of the water storage cavity are jointly constructed to form a second fool-proofing surface. When the water tank is assembled in the water storage cavity, the first fool-proofing surface and the second fool-proofing surface are fool-proof matched until the insertion part is inserted into the matching part. When the user assembles the water tank and the body, it is necessary to first place the first fool-proofing surface of the water tank toward the side of the body where the fool-proofing structure is provided, and then place the water tank into the water storage cavity accordingly. In this way, the first fool-proofing surface will fool-proof match the second fool-proofing surface to prevent the water tank from shifting relative to the body.

[0038] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element. If any, the terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only embodiment.

[0039] At present, judging from the development of the market situation, as air pollution gradually worsens, people's demand for atomization devices is also constantly increasing.

[0040] Atomizers can humidify the air, making the ambient air fresher and more comfortable. The structure of an atomizer typically includes a body and a water tank. The bottom surface of the water storage chamber is provided with an insert portion, and the bottom surface of the water tank facing the water storage chamber is provided with a mating portion that mates with the insert portion. During the specific assembly process of the atomizer, the water tank needs to be placed in the water storage chamber of the body, and the insert portion is inserted into the mating portion accordingly, so that the water in the water tank flows into the water storage chamber to achieve atomization. The gas formed by the atomization will be discharged from the water storage chamber to the outside to achieve a humidification effect.

[0041] In the above structure, since the insertion portion and the mating portion need to be aligned and inserted into the water storage chamber, it is difficult for the user to observe the specific alignment of the insertion portion and the mating portion. This can cause deviation between the insertion portion and the mating portion, resulting in misalignment. The user needs to make multiple adjustments, which is more complicated and leads to lower operating efficiency, thus affecting the overall working efficiency of the atomizer.

[0042] Based on the above considerations, and to address the current problem of the inability to precisely align the insertion portion and the mating portion during installation, one or more embodiments of the present application provide an atomizing device 100, comprising a body 10, a water tank 11, and at least one foolproof structure 12. A first foolproof surface 112 is formed on the outer circumference of the water tank 11. The foolproof structure 12 and the first foolproof surface 112 on the water tank 11 are utilized to precisely align the insertion portion 102 with the mating portion 114, thereby simplifying installation operations and improving the overall operating efficiency of the atomizing device 100.

[0043] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 4 The outer circumference of the water tank 11 includes a circular arc surface 111 and a first foolproof surface 112 connected to the front and rear ends of the circular arc surface 111. All foolproof structures 12 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the water storage chamber 101 and protrude from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101. Among them, the end surfaces of all foolproof structures 12 away from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101 are jointly constructed to form a second foolproof surface 121. When the water tank 11 is assembled in the water storage chamber 101, the first foolproof surface 112 and the second foolproof surface 121 are foolproofly matched until the insertion portion 102 is inserted into the matching portion 114.

[0044] It is understandable that when assembling the water tank 11 and the body 10, the user needs to first place the first fool-proof surface 112 of the water tank 11 toward the side of the body 10 provided with the fool-proof structure 12, and then place the water tank 11 into the water storage cavity 101 accordingly. In this way, the first fool-proof surface 112 will fool-proofly cooperate with the second fool-proof surface 121 to prevent the water tank 11 from shifting relative to the body 10. In addition, when the first fool-proof surface 112 and the second fool-proof surface 121 fool-proofly cooperate, the insertion portion 102 can be aligned with the matching portion 114. In this way, when the water tank 11 is assembled in the water storage cavity 101, it can be ensured that the insertion portion 102 is accurately inserted into the matching portion 114, which simplifies the installation operation and helps to improve the overall working efficiency of the atomizing device 100.

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The body 10 is provided with an installation opening which is communicated with the water storage chamber 101 .

[0046] Typically, the mounting opening is circular. In existing atomizer devices 100, the outer circumference of the water tank 11 is also circular. When the insertion portion 102 and the mating portion 114 become misaligned within the water storage chamber 101, the user can control the water tank 11 to rotate relative to the body 10 to adjust the relative position of the insertion portion 102 and the mating portion 114 until the insertion portion 102 and the mating portion 114 are aligned and inserted, thereby completing the complete assembly of the water tank 11 and the body 10. In this way, even after the water tank 11 and the body 10 are fully assembled, the water tank 11 can still rotate relative to the body 10 under external influences, and may even cause damage to the insertion portion 102 and the mating portion 114.

[0047] Therefore, all foolproof structures 12 in this application are arranged circumferentially around the mounting opening. The second foolproof surfaces 121 formed by all foolproof structures 12 and the mounting opening together enclose a foolproof area. Projected along the gravity direction, the projected area and shape of the foolproof area are identical to those of the water tank 11. In other words, when the water tank 11 extends through the mounting opening into the water storage chamber 101, the mounting opening and the foolproof structures 12 work together to limit the displacement of the water tank 11 relative to the body 10, thereby ensuring that the insertion portion 102 can be accurately inserted into the mating portion 114.

[0048] The fuselage 10 is generally placed vertically along the direction of gravity, with the installation opening provided on the top surface of the fuselage 10. When assembling the water tank 11 with the fuselage 10, the water tank 11 must first be lifted above the fuselage 10 and aligned with the installation opening along the direction of gravity. The water tank 11 is then rotated so that the first foolproof surface 112 faces the side of the fuselage 10 where the foolproof structure 12 is provided. At this point, the insertion portion 102 can also be aligned with the mating portion 114 along the direction of gravity. Finally, the water tank 11 is lowered along the direction of gravity so that the water tank 11 can be inserted into the water storage chamber 101 through the installation opening for assembly.

[0049] The specific styles of the first foolproof surface 112 and the second foolproof surface 121 are not limited. For example, the first foolproof surface 112 can be a shaped surface or a flat surface. The shaped surface includes but is not limited to a circular arc surface 111 and a wavy curved surface. The second foolproof surface 121 has the same style as the first foolproof surface 112 and can adapt and fit with the first foolproof surface 112 to achieve a foolproof effect.

[0050] For example, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first foolproof surface 112 is constructed as a first plane, and the end surfaces of all foolproof structures 12 away from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101 are collectively constructed to form a second plane that abuts the first plane. It is understood that flat surfaces are easier to manufacture than other shaped surfaces, which helps improve production efficiency and save production costs.

[0051] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The entire foolproof structure 12 is arranged at intervals along the circumference of the water storage chamber 101 and is formed of ribs protruding from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101. Compared with the conventional foolproof structure 12 that uses an integral structure such as a boss, the ribs can effectively reduce the material required to produce the foolproof structure 12, thereby saving production costs.

[0052] In addition, there is a gap between two adjacent ribs, which can allow the gas generated by atomization to be discharged to achieve a humidification effect.

[0053] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 At least some of the ribs have different protrusion heights relative to the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101. The protrusion height of each rib relative to the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101 is affected by various factors such as the shape of the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101 and the shape of the second foolproof surface 121.

[0054] Exemplarily, when all the anti-fool structures 12 are arranged circumferentially around the circular mounting opening and the second anti-fool surface 121 is constructed as a second plane, the protruding height of the anti-fool structure 12 located in the middle of all the anti-fool structures 12 is greater than the protruding heights of the other anti-fool structures 12 on both sides thereof.

[0055] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The atomizing device 100 includes at least one support structure 13. All support structures 13 are spaced apart along the circumference of the water storage chamber 101 and protrude from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101. The end surfaces of all support structures 13 facing away from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101 collectively form a support surface. When the water tank 11 is assembled within the water storage chamber 101, the support surface cooperates with the arcuate surface 111.

[0056] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 All fool-proof structures 12 are located between any two adjacent support structures 13 among all support structures 13 .

[0057] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 5 The support structure 13 is a rib protruding from the inner wall of the water storage chamber 101. It can be understood that the rib can effectively reduce the material required to produce the fool-proof structure 12, thereby saving production costs.

[0058] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 A third fool-proof surface 103 and a fourth fool-proof surface 113 are respectively formed on the same side of the top of the fuselage 10 and the top of the water tank 11.

[0059] It is understandable that when the user assembles the water tank 11 and the body 10, the user can intuitively observe the third foolproof surface 103 at the top of the body 10 and the fourth foolproof surface 113 at the top of the water tank 11. By placing the third foolproof surface 103 of the body 10 and the fourth foolproof surface 113 of the water tank 11 facing the same side, the user can align the first foolproof surface 112 of the water tank 11 with the side of the body 10 provided with the foolproof structure 12. In this way, the water tank 11 can be directly assembled into the water storage chamber 101, and the foolproof mating of the first foolproof surface 112 and the second foolproof surface 121, as well as the alignment and insertion of the insertion portion 102 and the mating portion 114, can be ensured. The installation operation is simple and convenient, and it is conducive to improving the overall working efficiency of the atomizing device 100.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 and Figure 6 The third and fourth foolproof surfaces 103 and 113 are inclined in the same direction and at the same angle. This improves the overall aesthetics and coordination of the atomizer, and allows the user to intuitively observe the third and fourth foolproof surfaces 103 and 113 at the top of the body 10 and the water tank 11, helping the user understand the functions of the third and fourth foolproof surfaces 103 and 113.

[0061] In some embodiments, the atomization device 100 further includes an atomizer, which is connected to the water storage chamber 101 .

[0062] It can be understood that when the insertion part 102 is inserted into the matching part 114, the water in the water tank 11 will flow into the water storage chamber 101 and be atomized through the atomizer. The gas formed by atomization will be discharged from the water storage chamber 101 to the outside to achieve a humidification effect.

[0063] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person of ordinary skill in the art may make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present patent application shall be determined by the appended claims.
