Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of humidifiers, in particular to a water outlet structure, a water tank component and a humidifier. Background Art

[0002] As people's quality of life continues to improve, humidifiers, as air humidity control devices, are popular among consumers for their functions such as humidifying dry air, replenishing moisture in the air, and moisturizing the skin. Humidifiers have become a common appliance in modern family life.

[0003] Existing humidifiers are usually equipped with a separate, removable water tank. A water outlet control structure is added to the bottom of the water tank to ensure that the water tank does not leak when it is lifted, and the water in the water tank can flow into the sink when the whole machine is installed. At the same time, the sink must be designed with a corresponding water stop structure to ensure that the water tank stops adding water when the water level in the sink reaches a certain height.

[0004] The applicant has found that the existing technology has at least the following technical problems: In the existing technology, water output control is achieved by adding electric control devices such as solenoid valves, water pumps, motors, etc. to the humidifier base or designing multiple inlet and outlet valves. However, these solutions are not only complex in structure, but also have many parts, resulting in excessively high cost of the humidifier as a whole. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a water outlet structure, a water tank assembly and a humidifier, so as to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art of humidifiers such as complex water outlet structure, many parts and high cost.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] The utility model provides a water outlet structure, comprising a sealing member and a control switch member; wherein:

[0008] The sealing member seals the water outlet of the first component to keep the water outlet normally closed;

[0009] The control switch component is movably arranged in the second component located outside the water outlet. When there is little water in the second component, it can use its own gravity to push the sealing component to open the water outlet, or when the second component is full of water, it can use the buoyancy of the water to separate from the sealing component to close the water outlet.

[0010] The utility model provides a water outlet structure, which can seal the water outlet by arranging a sealing member at the water outlet, so that the water in the water tank will not leak out when the water tank is taken away from the humidifier. By arranging a control switch member, the sealing member can be opened when the water is low, so that the water in the water tank can flow out from the water outlet to replenish the water of the second component, and the sealing member can be separated when the water is full, so that the water outlet can be sealed again by using the sealing member, so that the water in the water tank will not continue to flow into the water tank, thereby ensuring safety in use. In addition, through the water outlet structure, not only the water outlet is blocked when the water tank is taken away, but also the water can be automatically replenished when there is little water in the water tank, and the water filling can be automatically closed when the water is full. The structure is simple, the assembly efficiency is high, and the cost is low.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the sealing member is a sealing silicone pad.

[0012] The sealing silicone pad can not only achieve the sealed closure of the water outlet and ensure the sealing effect, but also the silicone material has relatively good elasticity and ductility. It can deform when subjected to force and return to its original shape after the external force disappears. The sealing silicone pad can be deformed by pushing to form a gap between it and the water outlet, thereby opening the water outlet and facilitating the outflow of water in the water tank to replenish the water level in the sink. Then, after separating from the sealing silicone pad, the sealing silicone pad will return to the original closed water outlet position based on the characteristics of its material itself, thereby achieving the closure of the water outlet.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the sealing silicone pad includes a base, a pin, a raised portion, and a limiting portion; wherein:

[0014] The base cover is arranged at the water outlet;

[0015] There are at least two pins, which are arranged at the edge of the base;

[0016] The limiting portion is provided on the pin to form a limiting groove between the base and the limiting portion;

[0017] The first component is provided with a limiting hole beside the water outlet; the pin is inserted into the limiting hole, and the two ends of the limiting groove are respectively abutted against the inner and outer end surfaces of the limiting hole;

[0018] The raised portion is arranged opposite to the water outlet.

[0019] The utility model covers the water outlet through the base to close the water outlet, and penetrates the limiting hole through the pin to achieve the installation and fixation of the sealing silicone gasket. The limiting part and the base are respectively clamped between the inner and outer walls of the water tank to achieve the limitation of the sealing silicone gasket after installation to prevent the sealing silicone gasket from falling out, and further seals and presses the water outlet through the raised part to prevent water leakage.

[0020] As a further improvement of the present invention, the end of the pin is a tapered structure.

[0021] This structural arrangement facilitates the pin to pass through the limiting hole, saves raw materials, and reduces costs.

[0022] As a further improvement of the present invention, the base is a plate-shaped structure.

[0023] This structure is adopted to match the shape of the water outlet. In this embodiment, the water outlet is circular. While ensuring that the water outlet is closed, it can also save raw materials and thus set the middle of the base to be circular; of course, if the water outlet is in other shapes, such as square, the middle of the base can be set to be square.

[0024] As a further improvement of the present invention, the raised portion is a circular structure, and is arranged concentrically with the middle of the base; and the diameter of the raised portion is adapted to the diameter of the water outlet.

[0025] In this embodiment, there is a downward concave slope between the edge of the water outlet and the bottom of the water tank. In order to ensure the sealing effect, a protrusion protruding from the base is provided, which can not only close the water outlet, but also block the slope part, thereby maximizing the sealing effect.

[0026] As a further improvement of the present invention, the sealing member further includes an annular triangular sealing ring arranged on the outer ring of the raised portion.

[0027] The sealing effect is further improved by providing a sealing ring with a triangular cross-section.

[0028] As a further improvement of the present invention, the control switch member includes a fixed seat, a connecting rod, a push column, and a float; wherein:

[0029] The fixing seat is fixed in the second component;

[0030] The float is arranged at one end of the connecting rod and can float on the water surface;

[0031] The push column is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod and is arranged directly opposite the water outlet;

[0032] The connecting rod is rotatably arranged in the fixing seat, and the rotation axis is located beside the pushing column.

[0033] The above structure creates a seesaw structure between the push column, connecting rod, and float. The float rotates around the assembly axis, allowing water from the water tank to flow into the sink through the gap created by the push column and the silicone gasket. As water continues to flow into the sink, the front end of the float rises, the push column descends, and the gap between the silicone gasket and the water tank decreases. When there is no gap between the silicone gasket and the water tank, the water tank stops replenishing the sink (the sink is full). The atomizer atomizes the water, the water in the sink descends, and the float resumes operation. This reciprocating action allows the water in the water tank to replenish the sink based on the state of the float and the silicone gasket, meeting the requirements of replenishing the sink and ensuring that the water level in the sink is always maintained at a certain height.

[0034] As a further improvement of the present invention, when the connecting rod is in a horizontal state, the top end of the pushing column is located below the water outlet.

[0035] Through this structural setting, the sealing silicone pad will not be pushed when the water is full. Once the water is not full, the pushing column can contact the sealing silicone pad to push and replenish water, and the response is fast. When the water is much less, it can push a larger gap to quickly replenish water. The water replenishment speed can be adjusted according to the water level, and the control is more flexible and convenient.

[0036] The utility model provides a water tank assembly, comprising a water tank, a water trough and the water outlet structure; wherein:

[0037] The water tank is placed on the top of the water tank and supplies water to the water tank through the water outlet at the bottom;

[0038] The water outlet structure is arranged between the water tank and the water tank, and can control the opening and closing of the water outlet based on the state of the water tank or the water level in the water tank.

[0039] The utility model sets a water outlet structure between the bottom of the water tank and the water tank to ensure that the water tank does not leak when it is lifted. The utility model has a simple structure, high assembly efficiency and low cost. The gravity and buoyancy generated by the float in the water tank push open or close the sealing silicone pad of the water tank to control the automatic water replenishment of the water tank. The water replenishment and opening and closing control process of the water tank does not require electrical connection and electric drive, and no power consumption is generated. It has the advantages of safety, energy saving and environmental protection.

[0040] The utility model provides a humidifier, comprising the water tank assembly.

[0041] The humidifier provided by the utility model is a humidifier with simple product structure, simple production process, low cost, no power consumption, energy saving and environmental protection, which solves the problems of the existing humidifier using complex circuit of electric control water outlet valve and high cost of multiple inlet and outlet valves.

[0064] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0065] like Figures 1-20 As shown, the present invention provides a water outlet structure that can be installed in the water tank assembly of the dehumidifier to control the opening and closing of the water outlet 30 of the water tank 10, and automatically replenish or stop water when the water level in the water tank 20 is high or low; specifically, in this embodiment, the water outlet structure includes a sealing member and a control switch member 2; wherein:

[0066] The sealing member seals the water outlet 30 of the first component to keep the water outlet 30 normally closed;

[0067] The control switch member 2 is movably arranged in the second component located outside the water outlet 30. When there is little water in the second component, it can use its own gravity to push the sealing member to open the water outlet 30, or when the second component is full of water, it can use the buoyancy of the water to separate from the sealing member to close the water outlet 30.

[0068] It should be noted here that, for the sake of convenience, the following specific description will be given by taking the first component as the water tank 10 and the second component as the water tank 20 as an example. All the first components below are water tanks 10 and the second components are water tanks 20.

[0069] The water outlet structure provided by the present invention can seal the water outlet 30 by arranging a sealing member at the water outlet 30, so that the water in the water tank 10 will not leak out when the water tank 10 is taken off the humidifier. By arranging the control switch member 2, the sealing member can be opened when there is less water, so that the water in the water tank 10 can flow out from the water outlet 30 to replenish the water of the second component, and the sealing member can be separated when the water is full, so that the water outlet 30 can be sealed again by the sealing member, so that the water in the water tank 10 will not continue to flow into the water tank 20, thereby ensuring safety in use. In addition, through the water outlet structure, not only the water outlet 30 is blocked when the water tank 10 is taken away, but also automatic water replenishment can be performed when there is less water in the water tank 20, and water filling can be automatically closed when the water is full. The structure is simple, the assembly efficiency is high, and the cost is low.

[0070] In order to simplify the structure of the water outlet structure and to achieve rapid blocking and opening, in this embodiment, Figure 12-17 As shown, the sealing member is a sealing silicone pad 1.

[0071] The sealing silicone pad 1 can not only achieve the sealed closure of the water outlet 30 and ensure the sealing effect, but also the silicone material has relatively good elasticity and ductility, can be deformed when subjected to force, and return to its original shape after the external force disappears. The sealing silicone pad 1 can be deformed by pushing to form a gap between it and the water outlet 30, thereby opening the water outlet 30 to facilitate the outflow of water in the water tank 10 to replenish the water level of the water tank 20. Then, after being separated from the sealing silicone pad 1, the sealing silicone pad 1 returns to the original position of closing the water outlet 30 based on the characteristics of its own material, thereby achieving the closure of the water outlet 30.

[0072] like Figure 12-17 As shown, the sealing silicone pad 1 includes a base 11, a pin 12, a protrusion 13, and a limit portion 14; wherein:

[0073] The base 11 is covered at the water outlet 30;

[0074] There are at least two pins 12, which are arranged at the edge of the base 11;

[0075] The limiting portion 14 is provided on the pin 12 to form a limiting groove 15 between the base 11 and the limiting portion 14;

[0076] The first component is located next to the water outlet 30 and is provided with a limiting hole 70; the pin 12 is inserted into the limiting hole 70, and the two ends of the limiting groove 15 are respectively abutted against the inner and outer end surfaces of the limiting hole 70;

[0077] The raised portion 13 is disposed opposite to the water outlet 30 .

[0078] The utility model covers the water outlet 30 through the base 11 to close the water outlet 30, and penetrates the limiting hole 70 through the pin 12 to achieve the installation and fixation of the sealing silicone pad 1, and is respectively clamped between the inner and outer walls of the water tank 10 through the limiting portion 14 and the base to achieve the limitation of the sealing silicone pad 1 after installation to prevent the sealing silicone pad 1 from falling out, and further seals and presses the water outlet 30 through the raised portion to prevent water leakage.

[0079] In order to facilitate insertion, in this embodiment, Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 15 and Figure 16 As shown, the end of the pin 12 is a tapered structure.

[0080] Furthermore, the tapered structure is located on the pin 12 at the bottom of the limiting portion 14 .

[0081] This structural arrangement facilitates the pin 12 to pass through the limiting hole 70 , and can save raw materials and reduce costs.

[0082] As a further improvement of the present invention, the base 11 is a plate-like structure with a circular middle and extensions at both ends. The pins 12 are arranged in the two extensions, and the protrusion 13 is located in the middle circular part.

[0083] This structure is adopted to match the shape of the water outlet 30. In this embodiment, the water outlet 30 is circular. On the basis of ensuring that the water outlet 30 is closed, it can also save raw materials and thus set the middle part of the base 11 to be circular; of course, if the water outlet 30 is in other shapes, such as square, the middle part of the base 11 can be set to be square.

[0084] like Figure 16 and Figure 17 As shown, the raised portion 13 is a circular structure, and is arranged concentrically with the center of the base 11 ; and the diameter of the raised portion 13 is adapted to the diameter of the water outlet 30 .

[0085] In this embodiment, if Figure 11As shown, there is a downward concave slope between the edge of the water outlet 30 and the bottom of the water tank 10. In order to ensure the sealing effect, a protrusion 13 protruding from the base 11 is provided, which can not only close the water outlet 30, but also block the slope part, thereby maximizing the sealing effect.

[0086] Further, such as Figure 6 、 Figure 12 、 Figure 13 、 Figure 15 As shown, the sealing member further includes an annular triangular sealing ring 16 arranged on the outer ring of the raised portion 13 .

[0087] The sealing effect is further improved by providing a sealing ring with a triangular cross-section.

[0088] As an optional embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 11 、 Figures 18-20 As shown, the control switch 2 includes a fixing seat 21, a connecting rod 22, a push column 23, and a float 24; wherein:

[0089] The fixing seat 21 is U-shaped and fixed in the second component;

[0090] The float 24 is provided at one end of the connecting rod 22 and can float on the water surface. The float 24 is required to have a certain weight so that it can rely on its gravity to push the sealing silicone pad 1 open when the water level is low.

[0091] The pushing column 23 is arranged at the other end of the connecting rod 22 and is arranged opposite the water outlet 30; it should be noted that in order to prevent the sealing silicone pad 1 from being damaged by multiple pushing, a head that is compatible with the specifications of the water outlet 30 can be set on the top of the pushing column 23, and the corners of the head are all arc-shaped structures to avoid damage to the sealing silicone pad 1 when pushing the sealing silicone pad 1.

[0092] The connecting rod 22 is rotatably arranged in the fixing seat 21, and the rotation axis position is located beside the push column 23. Specifically, the rotation axes on both sides of the connecting rod 22 are rotatably arranged in the rotation axis holes on the top of the fixing seat 21.

[0093] The above structure creates a seesaw structure between the push column 23, the connecting rod 22, and the float 24. The float 24 can rotate about the assembly axis, allowing water in the water tank 10 to flow into the water trough 20 through the gap created by the push column 23 and the raised sealing silicone pad 1. As water continues to flow into the water trough 20, the front end of the float 24 rises, the push column 23 descends, and the gap between the sealing silicone pad 1 and the water tank 10 decreases. When there is no gap between the sealing silicone pad 1 and the water tank 10, the water tank 10 stops replenishing the water trough 20 (the water trough 20 is full). The atomizer 50 atomizes the water, the water in the water trough 20 descends, and the float 24 resumes operation. This reciprocating action allows the water in the water tank 10 to replenish the water trough 20 based on the state of the float 24 and the sealing silicone pad 1, thus meeting the requirements of replenishing the water trough 20 and ensuring that the water level in the water trough 20 is always maintained at a certain height.

[0094] like Figure 5 As shown, as a further improvement of the present invention, when the connecting rod 22 is in a horizontal state, the top end of the pushing column 23 is located below the water outlet 30.

[0095] like Figure 4 As shown, when the water level in the water tank 20 is low, the float 24 sinks to the bottom of the water tank 20 under its own gravity. At this time, the pushing column 23 pushes the raised portion 13 of the sealing silicone pad 1 upward, thereby causing a gap to appear between the sealing silicone pad 1 and the bottom of the water tank 10. The water in the water tank 10 will flow into the water tank 20 from the water outlet 30 through the gap. Moreover, the greater the pushing height of the pushing column 23, the larger the gap, the faster the water flow, and the faster the water replenishment.

[0096] Through this structural setting, the sealing silicone pad 1 will not be pushed when the water is full. Once the water is not full, the pushing column 23 can contact the sealing silicone pad 1 to push and replenish water, and the response is fast; and when the water is much less, it can push a larger gap to quickly replenish water, and the water replenishment speed can be adjusted according to the water level, and the control is more flexible and convenient.

[0097] like Figures 1-20 As shown, the utility model provides a water tank assembly, including a water tank 10, a water tank 20 and a water outlet structure; the water tank assembly also includes a base 40, an atomizer 50, and a mist outlet pipe 60; wherein:

[0098] like Figure 1 As shown, the water tank 10 is placed on top of the water tank 20 and supplies water to the water tank 20 through the water outlet 30 at the bottom thereof;

[0099] The water outlet structure is disposed between the water tank 10 and the water tank 20 , and can control the opening and closing of the water outlet 30 based on the state of the water tank 10 or the water level in the water tank 20 .

[0100] The base 40 is supported on the bottom of the water tank 20; an atomizer 50 is placed between the bottom of the water tank 20 and the base 40, and the atomizer 50 can atomize the water in the water tank 20 and release it; one end of the mist outlet pipe 60 extends to the outside of the top of the water tank 10, and the other end passes through the water tank 10 and enters the water tank 20, and extends to the top position of the atomizer 50.

[0101] The utility model sets a water outlet structure between the bottom of the water tank 10 and the water tank 20 to ensure that the water tank 10 does not leak when it is lifted. The utility model has a simple structure, high assembly efficiency and low cost. The gravity and buoyancy generated by the float 24 in the water tank 20 push the sealing silicone pad 1 of the water tank 10 open or close, and control the automatic water replenishment of the water tank 20. The water replenishment and opening and closing control process of the water tank 20 does not require electrical connection and electric drive, and no electrical power consumption is generated. It has the advantages of safety, energy saving and environmental protection.

[0102] like Figures 1-20 As shown, the present invention provides a humidifier, which includes the above-mentioned water tank assembly.

[0103] Specifically, the water tank assembly consists of a water tank 10, a base 40, a water tank 20, an atomizer 50, a float 24, a sealing silicone pad 1 and other components; the atomizer 50 is assembled at the bottom of the water tank 20, and a mist outlet pipe 60 is designed corresponding to the water tank 10. The mist outlet is located directly above the atomizer 50 to facilitate mist discharge (when the ultrasonic atomizer of the atomizer 50 is supplied with alternating current, the piezoelectric ceramic will deform, thereby generating ultrasonic vibrations. This vibration is transmitted to the liquid, causing violent friction and collision between the liquid molecules, thereby breaking the liquid into tiny particles and forming mist. Water level The height of the water level affects the dispersion of the mist. If the water level is too high, the mist will re-merge into the water. Therefore, the height of the water level above the atomizer 50 needs to be controlled); the connecting rod 22 is assembled in the water tank 20 through the fixing seat 21, and the float 24 is assembled with the connecting rod 22. After the float 24 is assembled, it forms a movable structure (designed as a seesaw structure). The connecting rod 22 can rotate around the assembly axis, so that the float 24 can be raised and lowered. When the water tank 20 is short of water, the end of the connecting rod 22 where the float 24 is assembled is heavier and the float is in a falling state; when the water tank 20 is full of water, the float 24 is in a rising state under the action of buoyancy.

[0104] In order to meet the requirements of no water leakage when lifting the water tank 10 and no water adding when the water tank 20 is full of water. In the utility model, the sealing silicone pad 1 is assembled in the water tank 10. ① The sealing silicone pad 1 is designed with two assembly pins 12. When assembling, the pins 12 pass through the limiting holes 70 of the water tank 10. Because the sealing silicone pad 1 is elastic, the slender part of the sealing silicone pad 1 (pins 12) can be pulled into the limiting holes 70. The assembly is simple and fast. At the same time, the roots of the two pins 12 and the water tank 10 are interference fit to ensure sealing and no water leakage; ② The middle part of the sealing silicone pad 1 is designed with a raised convex part 13 and a ring-shaped triangular sealing part. The sealing ring 16 and the sealing silicone gasket 1, after assembly, create an interference seal with the water outlet 30 of the water tank 10 at these two locations. Furthermore, when the water tank 10 is filled with water, the sealing silicone gasket 1 is subjected to the water pressure, making the sealing more reliable. Thirdly, the sealing silicone gasket 1 has a certain degree of elasticity. When the water tank 20 is short of water, the gravity of the float 24 pushes the middle of the sealing silicone gasket 1 open. When the water tank 20 is full of water, the float 24 rises, closing the sealing silicone gasket. This satisfies the requirements of lifting the water tank 10 without leaking, and not adding water when the water tank 20 is full. This utility model can meet these requirements with a single sealing silicone gasket 1 assembly, resulting in a simple structure, high assembly efficiency, and the reduction of at least two materials, effectively reducing costs.

[0105] like Figure 4 As shown, the float 24 forms a seesaw structure after assembly. When the water tank 20 is short of water, the connecting rod 22 rotates around the assembly axis, and the float 24 sinks. Since the front end of the float 24 is heavier and in a falling state, the push column 23 rises. When the water tank 20 is short of water, the push column 23 lifts the sealing silicone gasket 1 to form a gap with the contact surface of the water tank 10, and the water in the water tank 10 flows into the water tank 20 through the gap.

[0106] like Figure 5 As shown, after assembly, float 24 forms a seesaw structure. Connecting rod 22 can rotate about the assembly axis, allowing float 24 to rise and fall. Water in water tank 10 flows into sink 20 through the gap created by the push column 23, which lifts the sealing silicone gasket 1. As water continues to flow into sink 20, float 24 rises and push column 23 descends, narrowing the gap between the sealing silicone gasket 1 and water tank 10. When there is no gap between the sealing silicone gasket 1 and water tank 10, water tank 10 stops replenishing sink 20 (sink 20 is full). Atomizer 50 atomizes water, the water level in sink 20 drops, and float 24 resumes operation. This reciprocating action repeats, with water in water tank 10 replenishing sink 20 based on the position of float 24 and sealing silicone gasket 1, meeting the requirements of replenishing sink 20 and ensuring that the water level in sink 20 is always maintained at a certain height.
