Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] A humidifier is primarily used to increase air humidity. When the air is dry, a humidifier effectively increases the moisture content, making it more humid. This not only provides essential moisture to dry skin, addressing dehydration, but also releases a large amount of negative oxygen ions during the atomization process. These combine with smoke and dust in the air, causing them to settle, effectively removing paint, mold, smoke, and other odors, leaving the air fresher.

[0003] A humidifier disclosed in a Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN201920560483.9 includes a main unit and a water tank. The main unit is installed on the upper part of the water tank. The main unit includes an ultrasonic generator, an electric control board, and a fan. The ultrasonic generator and the fan are electrically connected to the electric control board. The main unit is provided with a mist outlet channel connected to the water tank. The fan and the electric control board are installed inside the main unit. The ultrasonic generator is arranged on the outside of the main unit and is connected to the housing of the main unit through a wire pipe. The water tank is made of silicone rubber or silicone material. The water tank is a foldable water tank. The side wall of the water tank is provided with several folding walls, and a folding portion is provided between adjacent folding walls. However, since the ultrasonic generator in the above-mentioned humidifier, that is, the atomizer, is fixed in position in the water tank, its atomization effect is affected by the water level of the water tank, resulting in unstable atomization effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies in the prior art, the utility model provides a humidifier.

[0005] The utility model is realized through the following technical solutions:

[0006] Humidifier, including:

[0007] A host, the host having a mist outlet;

[0008] a water tank connected to the main unit and having a water storage chamber; and

[0009] An atomizer is suspended in the water holding chamber, the atomizer is connected to the water holding chamber and the mist outlet, and the atomizer is configured to move up and down as the water level in the water holding chamber changes.

[0010] The humidifier of the present invention is characterized by the atomizer being suspended in the water chamber and being configured to move up and down as the water level in the water chamber changes. This allows the atomizer to automatically adjust its position in the water chamber as the water level in the water chamber changes. Regardless of the water level in the water chamber, the atomizer can always maintain a constant working water level, ensuring that the atomizer can reliably atomize the water in the water chamber, resulting in a more stable and reliable atomization effect. In one embodiment, the humidifier further comprises:

[0011] The pipe is connected to the main unit, the pipe is arranged in the water holding chamber, the pipe has a mist outlet channel, the upper end of the mist outlet channel is connected to the mist outlet, and the lower end of the mist outlet channel is connected to the water holding chamber. The atomizer is arranged in the mist outlet channel so as to be movable up and down. The mist outlet channel serves as a dedicated channel for the flow of mist, which can gather the mist and ensure that the mist can flow efficiently to the mist outlet, thereby improving the misting effect. At the same time, the mist outlet channel can also guide the atomizer to move up and down, making the atomizer move more smoothly and stably, thereby further improving the atomization stability.

[0012] In one embodiment, a limiting portion is provided at the lower end of the pipe, and the limiting portion can abut against the atomizer to restrict the atomizer in the mist outlet channel to prevent the atomizer from escaping from the mist outlet channel.

[0013] In one embodiment, the atomizer is electrically connected to the host through a flexible wire, so that the electrical connection between the atomizer and the host is achieved, and the flexible wire can make the atomizer move up and down more flexible and smooth;

[0014] The limiting portion has an avoidance hole, which passes through the limiting portion from top to bottom. The avoidance hole is used to avoid the soft wire so as to facilitate the threading of the soft wire, that is, to facilitate threading. At the same time, the setting of the avoidance hole can also serve to connect the water holding chamber and the mist outlet channel, so that the water in the water holding chamber can enter the mist outlet channel through the avoidance hole, thereby ensuring that the atomizer can atomize the water.

[0015] In one embodiment, the water tank is telescopically movable relative to the main unit, and has a first extended state in which the water tank is vertically extended and a first shortened state in which the water tank is vertically contracted. The water tank moves to switch between the first extended state and the first shortened state.

[0016] The pipe can be telescopically moved relative to the host, and the pipe has a second extended state that is vertically expanded and a second shortened state that is vertically contracted. The pipe switches between the second extended state and the second shortened state as the water tank moves. In this way, when the water tank switches from the first extended state to the first shortened state, the pipe also switches from the second extended state to the second shortened state. When the water tank switches from the first shortened state to the first extended state, the pipe also switches from the second shortened state to the second extended state, so that the humidifier as a whole can be extended and shortened. When the humidifier is shortened as a whole, the volume of the humidifier can be greatly reduced, which makes it more convenient to package, store and carry the humidifier, and can increase the cabinet loading capacity of the humidifier, thereby reducing the packaging and transportation cost of the humidifier. At the same time, the atomizer can also work normally when the humidifier is in the shortened state, but the atomization effect is slightly worse.

[0017] In one embodiment, the host has a accommodating cavity. When the water tank is in the first shortened state and the pipe is in the second shortened state, the accommodating cavity accommodates at least a portion of the pipe. In this way, when the pipe is shortened, the accommodating cavity can be used to accommodate at least a portion of the pipe, which not only improves the space utilization of the host, but also helps to further reduce the overall volume of the humidifier after shortening, making the humidifier more convenient to store, carry and transport.

[0018] In one embodiment, the water tank comprises:

[0019] At least two box sections, wherein the at least two box sections are sequentially arranged along the height direction of the water tank, and when the water tank is in the first shortened state, the upper box section can be accommodated in the lower box section, so that the water tank can be shortened; and

[0020] At least one connecting ring, which connects the two adjacent sections of the box body. The connecting ring and the box body form the water holding chamber. The hardness of the connecting ring is less than that of the box body, and the connecting ring can be bent. In this way, when the water tank is shortened, the upper section of the box body is pressed into the lower section of the box body. At this time, the connecting ring is bent. When the water tank is extended, the upper section of the box body is pulled out upward. At this time, the connecting ring is reset and maintained in a non-bent state under the action of its own material, so that the upper and lower adjacent sections of the box body can be reliably maintained in a state of being arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, that is, the water tank can be reliably maintained in the first extended state. The structure is simple and practical, the cost is low, and the water tank is an integrated structure and will not leak, thereby avoiding the problem of water leakage in the humidifier.

[0021] In one embodiment, the pipeline comprises:

[0022] At least two sections of tube bodies, among the at least two sections of the tube bodies, the upper end of the tube body located at the top can be detachably connected to the main unit, the outer diameter of the tube body located at the bottom is smaller than the inner diameter of the tube body located at the top, the tube body located at the bottom can be inserted into the tube body located at the top so as to move up and down, and a first limiting protrusion is provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the tube body located at the top, and a second limiting protrusion is provided at the upper end of the outer wall of the tube body located at the bottom. When the pipeline is in the second extended state, the second limiting protrusion and the first limiting protrusion offset each other to limit the tube body located at the bottom from being separated from the tube body located at the top. In this way, when the pipe is in the second extended state, the two adjacent sections of the pipe body are limited in their expanded height by the abutment of the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion. When the pipe is in the second shortened state, since the outer diameter of the lower section of the two adjacent sections of the pipe body is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper section of the pipe body, the lower section of the two adjacent sections of the pipe body can be retracted into the upper section, so that the pipe can be extended or shortened as the water tank moves. At the same time, since the upper end of the top section of the pipe body can be detachably connected to the main unit, the outer diameter of the lower section of the two adjacent sections of the pipe body is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper section of the pipe body, and the adjacent connected pipe bodies are limited only by the abutment of the first limiting protrusion and the second limiting protrusion, each section of the pipe body can be disassembled, which is convenient for cleaning the pipe body. At the same time, since each section of the pipe body can be disassembled and assembled, the atomizer can also be disassembled and assembled, which is also convenient for cleaning the atomizer.

[0023] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the main unit is detachably inserted into and covers the upper opening of the water chamber, so that the main unit can be removed from the water tank, making it easier to clean the main unit and the water chamber and add water.

[0024] The upper end of the pipeline is detachably connected to the main unit so that the pipeline can be disassembled and assembled, making it convenient to clean the pipeline.

[0025] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the upper end of the pipe is provided with at least two connecting protrusions, and the at least two connecting protrusions are arranged at intervals around the vertical center line of the pipe;

[0026] The main unit has at least two connecting grooves, at least two of which are arranged at intervals around the vertical center line of the pipe, the connecting groove has an avoidance opening and a limiting groove, the avoidance opening and the limiting groove are arranged in sequence around the vertical center line of the pipe, the avoidance opening is connected to the limiting groove, the avoidance opening allows the corresponding connecting protrusion to circumferentially enter and exit the corresponding limiting groove, and when the connecting protrusion is located in the corresponding avoidance opening, the pipe can be detached from the main unit, the connecting protrusion and the corresponding limiting groove are adapted to connect the main unit and the pipe together. In this way, when the pipe is installed on the main unit, each connecting protrusion on the pipe is placed in the corresponding avoidance opening, and then the pipe is rotated until each connecting protrusion is adapted to a corresponding limiting groove. When the pipe is removed from the main unit, the pipe is rotated so that each connecting protrusion is placed in a corresponding avoidance opening, and then the pipe is pulled out. The operation is simple and convenient, and the assembly and disassembly efficiency is high.

[0027] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0028] The humidifier of the present invention has an atomizer suspended in the water chamber and is configured to move up and down as the water level in the water chamber changes. Therefore, the atomizer can automatically adjust its position in the water chamber as the water level in the water chamber changes. Regardless of the water level in the water chamber, the atomizer can always maintain a constant working water level, ensuring that the atomizer can reliably atomize the water in the water chamber, and the atomization effect is more stable and reliable.

[0040] The directional terms such as up, down, left, right, front, back, front, back, top, and bottom mentioned or possibly mentioned in this specification are defined relative to the structures shown in the drawings. They are relative concepts and may vary depending on the location and usage of the device. Therefore, these or other directional terms should not be interpreted as restrictive.

[0041] See also Figures 1-9 , shows a humidifier in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprising:

[0042] Host 1, host 1 has a mist outlet 111;

[0043] A water tank 2 connected to the main unit 1 and having a water storage chamber 21; and

[0044] The atomizer 3 is suspended in the water chamber 21 . The atomizer 3 communicates with the water chamber 21 and the mist outlet 111 . The atomizer 3 is configured to move up and down as the water level in the water chamber 21 changes.

[0045] In the humidifier of the present invention, since the atomizer 3 is suspended in the water chamber 21 and is configured to move up and down as the water level in the water chamber 21 changes, the atomizer 3 can automatically adjust its position in the water chamber 21 as the water level in the water chamber 21 changes. Regardless of the water level in the water chamber 21, the atomizer 3 can always maintain a constant working water level, ensuring that the atomizer 3 can reliably atomize the water in the water chamber 21, and the atomization effect is more stable and reliable.

[0046] See also Figure 2 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the atomizer 3 includes a shell 31 and an atomizing sheet (not shown in the figure) arranged in the shell 31. The shell 31 has a hollow cavity 311, that is, the shell 31 is hollow. The hollow shell 31 has good buoyancy and can be reliably suspended on the water surface in the water chamber 21, so that the atomizer 3 can be reliably suspended on the water surface in the water chamber 21, so that the atomizer 3 can move up and down with the change of the water level in the water chamber 21.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, a float may be provided at the bottom of the atomizer 3, and the float may be suspended on the water surface in the water chamber 21, so that the atomizer 3 can be reliably suspended on the water surface in the water chamber 21, and the atomizer 3 can move up and down as the water level in the water chamber 21 changes.

[0048] See also Figure 2 、 Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 In one embodiment, the humidifier further comprises:

[0049] The pipe 4 is connected to the main unit 1 and is disposed in the water chamber 21. The pipe 4 has a mist outlet channel 41. The upper end of the mist outlet channel 41 is connected to the mist outlet 111, and the lower end of the mist outlet channel 41 is connected to the water chamber 21. The atomizer 3 is disposed in the mist outlet channel 41 so as to be movable up and down. The mist outlet channel 41 serves as a dedicated channel for the flow of mist, which can gather the mist and ensure that the mist can flow efficiently to the mist outlet 111, thereby improving the misting effect and thus improving the humidification efficiency. At the same time, the mist outlet channel 41 can also guide the atomizer 3 to move up and down, making the atomizer 3 move more smoothly and stably, thereby further improving the atomization stability.

[0050] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, a limiting portion 42 is provided at the lower end of the pipe 4, and the limiting portion 42 can abut against the atomizer 3 to limit the atomizer 3 in the mist outlet channel 41 to prevent the atomizer 3 from escaping from the mist outlet channel 41.

[0051] In one embodiment, the upper end opening of the pipe 4 allows the atomizer 3 to move in and out of the mist outlet channel 41 , so as to facilitate the installation of the atomizer 3 into the mist outlet channel 41 or the removal of the atomizer 3 from the mist outlet channel 41 .

[0052] See also Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the atomizer 3 is electrically connected to the host 1 through a flexible wire 5. While achieving the electrical connection between the atomizer 3 and the host 1, the flexible wire 5 can make the atomizer 3 move up and down more flexible and smooth;

[0053] The limiting portion 42 has an avoidance hole 421, which passes through the limiting portion 42 at the top and bottom. The avoidance hole 421 is used to avoid the soft wire 5 so as to facilitate the threading of the soft wire 5, that is, to facilitate threading. At the same time, the setting of the avoidance hole 421 can also serve to connect the water holding chamber 21 and the mist outlet channel 41, so that the water in the water holding chamber 21 can enter the mist outlet channel 41 through the avoidance hole 421, thereby ensuring that the atomizer 3 can atomize the water.

[0054] See also Figure 5 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the pipe 4 has a water hole 434, which extends to the limiting portion 42. The water hole 434 connects the water chamber 21 and the mist outlet channel 41, so that the water in the water chamber 21 can enter the mist outlet channel 41 through the water hole 434, thereby ensuring that the atomizer 3 can atomize the water.

[0055] See also Figures 1-4 In one embodiment, the water tank 2 is telescopically movable relative to the main unit 1. The water tank 2 has a first extended state in which it is vertically extended and a first shortened state in which it is vertically shortened. The water tank 2 moves to switch between the first extended state and the first shortened state.

[0056] The pipe 4 can be telescopically moved relative to the host 1. The pipe 4 has a second extended state in which it is vertically expanded and a second shortened state in which it is vertically contracted. The pipe 4 switches between the second extended state and the second shortened state as the water tank 2 moves. In this way, when the water tank 2 switches from the first extended state to the first shortened state, the pipe 4 also switches from the second extended state to the second shortened state. When the water tank 2 switches from the first shortened state to the first extended state, the pipe 4 also switches from the second shortened state to the second extended state, so that the humidifier as a whole can be extended and shortened. When the humidifier is shortened (or folded) as a whole, the volume of the humidifier can be greatly reduced, which makes it more convenient to package, store and carry the humidifier, and can increase the cabinet loading capacity of the humidifier, thereby reducing the packaging and transportation cost of the humidifier. At the same time, the atomizer 3 can also work normally when the humidifier is in the shortened state, but the atomization effect is slightly worse.

[0057] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the host 1 has a accommodating cavity 112. When the water tank 2 is in the first shortened state and the pipe 4 is in the second shortened state, the accommodating cavity 112 accommodates at least a portion of the pipe 4. In this way, when the pipe 4 is folded, the accommodating cavity 112 can be used to accommodate at least a portion of the pipe 4, which not only improves the space utilization of the host 1, but also helps to further reduce the overall volume of the humidifier after shortening, making the humidifier more convenient to store, carry and transport.

[0058] See also Figures 1-4 as well as Figure 9 In one embodiment, the water tank 2 includes:

[0059] At least two box sections 22 are arranged in sequence along the height direction of the water tank 2. When the water tank 2 is in a first shortened state, the upper box section 22 can be accommodated in the lower box section 22, so that the water tank 2 can be shortened; and

[0060] At least one connecting ring 23 connects two adjacent sections of the box body 22. The connecting ring 23 and the box body 22 form a water holding chamber 21. The hardness of the connecting ring 23 is less than that of the box body 22, and the connecting ring 23 can be bent. In this way, when the water tank 2 is shortened, the upper section of the box body 22 is pressed into the lower section of the box body 22. At this time, the connecting ring 23 is bent. When the water tank 2 is extended, the upper section of the box body 22 is pulled upward. At this time, the connecting ring 23 is reset and maintained in a non-bent state under the action of its own material, so that the upper and lower adjacent sections of the box body 22 can be reliably maintained in a state of being arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, that is, the water tank 2 can be reliably maintained in the first extended state. The structure is simple and practical, the cost is low, and the water tank 2 is an integrated structure and will not leak, thereby avoiding the problem of water leakage in the humidifier.

[0061] In one embodiment, the number of the box bodies 22 is three, and two adjacent sections of the box bodies 22 are connected by a connecting ring 23 .

[0062] Of course, in other embodiments, the number of boxes 22 can be two or four or more, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0063] In one embodiment, the water tank 2 uses a combination of hard rubber structure and soft rubber structure, with hard rubber on the upper and lower parts and soft rubber in the middle. The combination of hard and soft can enable the humidifier to be folded and the humidifier to be extended. That is, the box body 22 is a structure made of hard rubber material, so that the water tank 2 has better structural strength, ensuring that the water tank 2 can be reliably maintained in the first extended state. The connecting ring 23 is a structure made of soft rubber material, so that the connecting ring 23 can be bent. At the same time, the connecting ring 23 can have a certain structural strength to support the box body 22 located above it, so that the water tank 2 can be maintained in the first extended state.

[0064] See also Figures 1-8 In one embodiment, the pipeline 4 comprises:

[0065] At least two sections of tube bodies 43, among the at least two sections of tube bodies 43, the upper end of the uppermost section of tube body 43 can be detachably connected to the main unit 1, the outer diameter of the lower section of tube body 43 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper section of tube body 43, the lower section of tube body 43 can be inserted into the upper section of tube body 43 so as to move up and down, and a first limiting protrusion 431 is provided at the lower end of the inner wall of the upper section of tube body 43, and a second limiting protrusion 432 is provided at the upper end of the outer wall of the lower section of tube body 43. When the pipe 4 is in the second extended state, the second limiting protrusion 432 and the first limiting protrusion 431 are offset against each other to limit the lower section of tube body 43 from being separated from the upper section of tube body 43. Thus, when the pipe 4 is in the second extended state, the two adjacent sections of the pipe body 43 are abutted by the first limiting protrusion 431 and the second limiting protrusion 432 to limit the expanded height. When the pipe 4 is in the second shortened state, since the outer diameter of the lower section of the two adjacent sections of the pipe body 43 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper section of the pipe body 43, the lower section of the two adjacent sections of the pipe body 43 can be retracted into the upper section of the pipe body 43, so that the pipe 4 can be extended or shortened with the expansion and contraction of the water tank 2. Since the upper end of the uppermost tube section 43 is detachably connected to the main unit 1, the outer diameter of the lower tube section 43 of the two adjacent tube sections 43 is smaller than the inner diameter of the upper tube section 43, and the adjacent connected tube sections 43 are limited only by the abutment between the first limiting protrusion 431 and the second limiting protrusion 432, each tube section 43 is detachable, which is convenient for cleaning the tube body 43. At the same time, since each tube section 43 can be disassembled and assembled, the atomizer 3 can also be disassembled and assembled, which is also convenient for cleaning the atomizer 3.

[0066] In one embodiment, at least a portion of the main unit 1 is detachably inserted into and covers the upper opening of the water chamber 21, so that the main unit 1 can be removed from the water tank 2, making it convenient to clean the main unit 1 and to clean and add water to the water chamber 21.

[0067] The upper end of the pipe 4 is detachably connected to the main unit 1 so that the pipe 4 can be disassembled and assembled, making it convenient to clean the pipe 4.

[0068] See also Figure 7 In one embodiment, the outer wall of the upper end of the pipe 4 is provided with at least two connecting protrusions 433, and the at least two connecting protrusions 433 are arranged at intervals around the vertical center line of the pipe 4;

[0069] The main unit 1 has at least two connecting grooves 113, and at least two connecting grooves 113 are arranged at intervals around the vertical center line of the pipe 4. The connecting groove 113 has a avoidance opening 1131 and a limiting groove 1132. The avoidance opening 1131 and the limiting groove 1132 are arranged in sequence around the vertical center line of the pipe 4. The avoidance opening 1131 is connected to the limiting groove 1132. The avoidance opening 1131 can allow the corresponding connecting protrusion 433 to circumferentially enter and exit the corresponding limiting groove 1132, and when the connecting protrusion 433 is located in the corresponding avoidance opening 1131, the pipe 4 can be detached from the main unit 1, and the connecting protrusion 433 and the corresponding limiting groove 1132 are adapted to connect the main unit 1 and the pipe 4 together. In this way, when installing the pipe 4 on the main unit 1, each connecting protrusion 433 on the pipe 4 is placed in the corresponding avoidance opening 1131, and then the pipe 4 is rotated until each connecting protrusion 433 is adapted to a corresponding limiting groove 1132. When removing the pipe 4 from the main unit 1, the pipe 4 is rotated so that each connecting protrusion 433 is placed in a corresponding avoidance opening 1131, and then the pipe 4 is pulled out. The operation is simple and convenient, and the disassembly and assembly efficiency is high.

[0070] Of course, in other embodiments, the pipe 4 can also be connected to the host 1 by matching the snap-fit ​​protrusion and the snap-fit ​​groove, that is, one of the host 1 and the pipe 4 is provided with a snap-fit ​​protrusion and the other has a snap-fit ​​groove.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, the pipe 4 can also be connected to the main unit 1 through fasteners such as screws and bolts.

[0072] See also Figure 8 In one embodiment, among the two adjacent tube sections 43, the inner wall of the upper tube section 43 has a guide groove 435, and the outer wall of the lower tube section 43 has a guide protrusion 436. The guide protrusion 436 and the guide groove 435 can be slidably matched to guide the tube body 43 to move up and down, thereby making the telescopic movement of the pipeline 4 smoother and more stable.

[0073] In one embodiment, the host 1 includes:
