Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of humidifier design, and in particular to a humidifier wheel device with uniform water carrying capacity. Background Art

[0002] A humidifier is a household appliance used to increase indoor air humidity. It converts water into vapor, increasing the moisture content in the air and making it more humid. Humidifiers are particularly useful in dry environments, relieving problems like dry skin and sore throats. They also help improve indoor air quality and reduce static electricity.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent with application number CN202311498009.5 discloses a high-efficiency humidifier, which relates to the field of humidifiers and includes a water storage portion; a humidifying portion, the humidifying portion is arranged in the water storage portion, and the humidifying portion can rotate in the water storage portion; a first air inlet, the first air inlet is opened in the humidifying portion, and the first air inlet is used to allow wind to enter from the middle of the humidifying portion and diffuse toward the edge of the humidifying portion.

[0004] In the above solution, a water carrying portion is used to carry water. However, since the structure of the water carrying portion is a through hole opened on the evaporation disk, it still has certain defects in actual use. On the one hand, since the amount of water carried by the water carrying portion each time is small and the axis of the water carrying portion is parallel to the axis of the evaporation disk, it is not conducive to the discharge of water, resulting in poor wetting effect on the evaporation disk and uneven humidity on the evaporation disk. On the other hand, since water has a certain tension, although the above solution can achieve water retention on the water carrying portion for a long time, there is still the problem of unsmooth and inconvenient water discharge, which also affects the uniformity of wetting the evaporation disk. On the other hand, when the rotor rotates, the local area of the evaporation disk that has just been rotated out of the water has a high humidity characteristic, while the area of the evaporation disk on the other side that is not immersed in water has a lower humidity. Due to the uneven humidity of the evaporation disk, the ambient humidity of the humidifier is uneven during operation. In addition, the long-term uneven water carrying problem of the rotor can also cause accelerated wear of the equipment, loud noise during use, reduced user comfort and shortened service life. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to solve the problem of uneven water carrying capacity of the existing humidifier wheel device mentioned in the above background technology, the present application provides a humidifier wheel device with uniform water carrying capacity.

[0006] The present application provides a humidifier wheel device with uniform water carrying capacity, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A humidifier wheel device with uniform water carrying capacity, the wheel device comprising:

[0008] Several coaxial and synchronously rotating evaporation plates, with a gap between two adjacent evaporation plates;

[0009] At least one mounting post is disposed away from the axis of the evaporating trays and penetrates the plurality of evaporating trays, is connected to the evaporating trays in synchronous rotation, has a hollow interior, and has an opening on its outer wall along its axis. A plurality of water storage cavities communicating with the openings are disposed inside the mounting post along its axis, and the water storage cavities correspond to the gaps between two adjacent evaporating trays.

[0010] Among them, when the evaporating plate rotates around its own axis and the mounting column is at the lowest point, water can enter each water storage cavity from the opening. When the mounting column rotates to the highest point with the evaporating plate, the opening of the mounting column gradually points downward, causing the water in the water storage cavity to flow to the gap between the evaporating plates under the action of gravity, thereby wetting the evaporating plates.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the evaporating dish rotates, the mounting post inside it can rotate together, so that when the mounting post rotates below the liquid level line, water can enter the water storage chamber from the opening position to achieve water carrying. After the mounting post rotates to the highest point along with the evaporating dish, the opening of the mounting post can gradually rotate to the lower position, so that the carried water can pass through the gap between the two evaporating dishes under the action of its own gravity and be sprinkled onto the evaporating dish, so as to wet the area of the evaporating dish away from the water outlet end. Moreover, since each water storage chamber corresponds to the gap between the two evaporating dishes, a uniform wetting effect of the evaporating dish can be achieved.

[0012] Optionally, the number of the mounting columns is six and they are evenly distributed around the axis of the evaporation tray.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the purpose of stabilizing the installation structure of the evaporation dish can be achieved, and the evaporation dish can be continuously wetted.

[0014] Optionally, the axis of the mounting column is parallel to the axis of the evaporation dish.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, water falling from the same installation column can fall at the same time.

[0016] Optionally, the mounting column further includes:

[0017] A plurality of partitions are fixed in the inner cavity of the installation column, and a water storage cavity is formed between two adjacent partitions.

[0018] By employing this technical solution, the internal cavity of the mounting column is separated by partitions, making adjacent water storage chambers disconnected from each other. This allows water from different water storage chambers to enter different gaps between the evaporating plates. Furthermore, the disconnected water storage chambers avoid the problem of bubbles being discharged and noise being generated by overly large cavities during operation.

[0019] Optionally, the volumes of the two adjacent water storage chambers are equal.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the amount of water carried in two adjacent water storage chambers during operation is made consistent, thereby achieving the effect of uniform wetting of the evaporation plate.

[0021] Optionally, the wheel device further includes:

[0022] A first connecting plate is arranged on one side of the plurality of evaporating plates and is coaxial with the evaporating plates, and the mounting post is fixed on the first connecting plate;

[0023] The second connecting plate is arranged at the other side of the plurality of evaporating plates and is coaxial with the evaporating plates, and has mounting holes on its surface that are the same number as the mounting posts;

[0024] A bolt is inserted into the mounting hole of the second connecting plate and connected to the end of the mounting column, thereby achieving fixed connection between the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, it is mainly used to achieve the installation and fixation of the installation column.

[0026] Optionally, an air inlet is opened at the center of the evaporation dish, and an air inlet is installed at the position of the air inlet.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, air can be diffused toward the gaps between the evaporation trays after entering the air inlet of the evaporation tray, thereby achieving the purpose of air humidification.

[0028] Optionally, a mounting hole is provided on the surface of the evaporation dish for the mounting column to pass through, and a convex ring extending toward the outer end of the evaporation dish is provided at both ends of the mounting hole, and a notch is provided on the convex ring, and the notch corresponds to the position of the opening of the mounting column passing through the mounting hole.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the convex rings extending to both ends can be used to increase the contact area with the mounting column, thereby improving the structural stability of the connection between the mounting column and the evaporation plate. The provided notch is used to quickly drain water from the gap between the two evaporation plates, thereby improving the wetting effect.

[0030] Optionally, at least one inner edge of the opening of the mounting post is provided with a serration portion.

[0031] The above technical solution is adopted because, on the one hand, the water storage chamber has a small volume and a small amount of water; on the other hand, the water itself has a certain tension; and on the other hand, the gap between the two evaporating plates is too small. These three factors make it difficult for water to flow out of the water storage chamber of the mounting column. Therefore, the inner edge of the opening is designed with a serrated portion, that is, a serrated structure, which can destroy the water tension and allow water to flow smoothly out of the water storage chamber.

[0032] Optionally, a plurality of water-carrying holes are provided on the surface of the evaporation plate.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, a portion of water can be carried by the evaporation dish when it passes through its lowest point, and the wetting effect of the evaporation dish can be improved in cooperation with the water storage cavity.

[0034] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0035] The utility model realizes the water carrying function by arranging a hollow mounting column inside the evaporation dish, and opens an opening on the outer wall of the mounting column, so that the mounting column can realize the water carrying effect when the evaporation dish rotates to the lowest point, and realizes the wetting effect of the evaporation dish after the mounting column rotates to the highest point, which has the advantage of good water carrying effect.

[0036] The utility model evenly divides the interior of the mounting column into a plurality of water storage chambers, and the water storage chambers correspond to the gaps between two adjacent evaporating pans, so that water can flow to the gaps between the two evaporating pans when flowing out, thereby effectively and evenly wetting the plurality of evaporating pans, avoiding the problem of uneven humidity in the evaporating pans, improving the humidification effect of the entire humidifier, and having the advantages of long service life, low noise, and good comfort in use.

[0047] The present application is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application discloses a humidifier wheel device with uniform water carrying capacity, which is rotatably installed in a water storage container 6. Figure 1 As shown, the water storage container 6 has an open water storage cavity, and the lower end of the wheel device is located in the water storage cavity. During actual operation, the lower end of the wheel device is located below the liquid level in the water storage cavity, which is used to wet the wheel device.

[0049] The wheel device includes: a plurality of coaxial and synchronously rotating evaporation plates 3, with a gap between adjacent evaporation plates 3, wherein a surface of a single evaporation plate 3 has a plurality of bosses 306 protruding toward both ends, and the bosses 306 on adjacent evaporation plates 3 contact each other to form a gap between the adjacent evaporation plates 3. The gap is provided to allow air to enter the gap, and when it is discharged from the gap, the humid air can be discharged outward, thereby achieving the effect of humidifying the air;

[0050] The rotor device also includes at least one mounting column 2. In this example, there are six mounting columns 2, which are evenly distributed around the axis of the evaporation tray 3. The mounting columns 2 are away from the axis of the evaporation tray 3 and are inserted into several evaporation trays 3. The axis of the mounting column 2 is parallel to the axis of the evaporation tray 3. The mounting column 2 is connected to the evaporation tray 3 in synchronous rotation. The interior is a hollow structure, and the outer wall is provided with an opening 201 along its axis. The interior of the mounting column 2 is provided with a plurality of water storage chambers 203 connected to the opening 201 along its axis. The water storage chambers 203 correspond to the gaps between two adjacent evaporation trays 3. Figure 7 As shown, when the mounting post 2 is rotated to different positions, the opening direction of the opening 201 faces different positions. Figure 7The vertical center line of is the dividing line, and the evaporation plate 3 rotates clockwise. When it rotates to the lowest point, the opening of the opening portion 201 is on the left side and gradually faces upward as the evaporation plate 3 rotates, so as to carry water and prevent water from flowing out from the inside of the mounting column 2; when the mounting column 2 rotates to the highest point, the opening portion 201 gradually transitions to a direction facing the right side, and after continuing to rotate, the opening portion 201 gradually faces downward, and in the downward process, it is used to achieve water outflow.

[0051] Among them, when the evaporation tray 3 rotates around its own axis and the mounting column 2 is at the lowest point, water can enter each water storage cavity 203 from the opening 201. When the mounting column 2 rotates to the highest point along with the evaporation tray 3, the opening 201 of the mounting column 2 gradually points downward, causing the water in the water storage cavity 203 to flow into the gap between the evaporation trays 3 under the action of gravity, thereby wetting the evaporation trays 3.

[0052] Specifically, the mounting column 2 also includes: a plurality of partitions 202, which are fixed in the internal cavity of the mounting column 2, and a water storage cavity 203 is formed between two adjacent partitions 202, wherein the partitions 202 and the mounting column 2 are integrally formed, specifically integrally injection molded, which can reduce the difficulty of production. The partitions 202 are provided to divide the internal cavity of the mounting column 2 into multiple small cavities (i.e., water storage cavities 203), on the one hand to achieve the effect of uniformly wetting the evaporation plate 3; on the other hand to avoid the problem of excessive noise during operation due to the large cavity volume, so as to improve the comfort of users.

[0053] Specifically, the volumes of the two adjacent water storage chambers 203 are equal and can accommodate the same amount of water, so that the evaporation plate 3 can be evenly wetted during the wetting process.

[0054] Specifically, the wheel device further includes: a first connecting plate 1, which is arranged at one side of the plurality of evaporating plates 3 and is coaxially arranged with the evaporating plates 3, and the mounting posts 2 are fixed to the first connecting plate 1; a second connecting plate 4, which is arranged at the other side of the plurality of evaporating plates 3 and is coaxially arranged with the evaporating plates 3, and has a surface provided with mounting holes 304 having the same number as the mounting posts 2;

[0055] Among them, a bolt is inserted into the mounting hole 304 of the second connecting plate 4 and connected to the end of the mounting column 2 to achieve the connection and fixation between the first connecting plate 1 and the second connecting plate 4; more specifically, the mounting column 2 can be integrally formed with the first connecting plate 1, or other connection methods can be used to achieve the installation and fixation of the mounting column 2.

[0056] Specifically, an air inlet 301 is provided at the center of the evaporation tray 3, and an air inlet 5 is installed at the position of the air inlet 301. A plurality of water-carrying holes 305 are provided on the surface of the evaporation tray 3, wherein the air inlet 5 is a wheel blade to achieve an air induction effect. After the air is introduced into the air inlet 301 at the center of the evaporation tray 3, the air can enter the gap between adjacent evaporation trays 3 and then be discharged outward. During the discharge process, moisture is carried to facilitate humidification of the surrounding air.

[0057] Specifically, the surface of the evaporation plate 3 is provided with mounting holes 304 for the installation column 2 to pass through. The number of the mounting holes 304 corresponds to the number of the mounting columns 2, and in this example, there are six of them. Both ends of the mounting holes 304 have convex rings 302 extending toward the outer end of the evaporation plate 3. The convex rings 302 are provided with notches 303. The notches 303 correspond to the openings 201 of the installation columns 2 that pass through the mounting holes 304. The provided convex rings 302 can increase the contact area between the evaporation plate 3 and the installation columns 2, and have the advantages of stable structure and long service life.

[0058] Specifically, at least one inner edge of the opening 201 of the mounting column 2 is provided with a serrated portion 204. The serrated portion 204 is arranged at the inner edge position of the opening 201 for water inlet and outlet, and is mainly used to destroy the tension of water to avoid the problem that water cannot flow out of the water storage chamber 203 due to excessive tension. In this embodiment, the serrated portion 204 is arranged at one side position of the opening 201, and this side position is used for water to flow out from this side. In addition, the serrated portion 204 can also be arranged at positions on both sides of the opening 201 according to actual needs.

[0059] This humidifier wheel device with uniform water carrying capacity is mainly used to solve the problem that the traditional wheel position cannot uniformly wet the evaporation disk 3. In actual operation, the lower end of the evaporation disk 3 can move below the liquid level of the water storage container 6. During the rotation of the evaporation disk 3, water can flow into the water storage chamber 203 of the mounting column 2. When the evaporation disk 3 just discharges water, since the surface of the local area of the evaporation disk 3 close to the liquid surface is wet, there is no need to wet the evaporation disk 3. The opening 201 of the mounting column 2 is generally facing upward to prevent the water in the water storage chamber 203 from flowing out. When the evaporation disk 3 continues to rotate, after the mounting column 2 passes the highest point of the evaporation disk 3, the humidity in the area of the evaporation disk 3 away from the water outlet end is relatively low. At this time, the opening 201 of the mounting column 2 gradually faces downward, which can guide the water out of the water storage chamber 203, thereby achieving the wetting effect of the evaporation disk 3. Since the volumes of adjacent water storage chambers 203 are the same and each water storage chamber 203 corresponds to the gap between the evaporation plates 3, a uniform wetting effect can be achieved on all evaporation plates 3. In addition, water carrying holes 305 are provided on the surface of the evaporation plates 3, thereby further achieving a wetting effect on the evaporation plates 3. This has the advantages of uniform water carrying capacity, uniform wetting effect, good wetting effect, long service life, and high comfort.

[0060] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
