Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a humidifying fan. Background Art

[0002] As the importance of air humidity and temperature to human comfort and health grows, humidifier fans, as a versatile air conditioning device, are gaining market favor. By mixing water mist with air, humidifier fans effectively increase humidity and improve air quality. They are widely used in homes, offices, and other places, particularly during dry seasons or in environments with poor air quality.

[0003] The humidifying fan in the prior art usually designs the fan and the atomizing device into an integrated structure, and the atomizing device is inseparable from the fan main body, or is designed to be installed in an integrated manner. The overall appearance is simple, but there are also some shortcomings.

[0004] Because the atomizer is typically a vulnerable component, it's prone to malfunctions after extended use, such as water tank fouling and reduced atomization. The integrated design requires users to disassemble the entire humidifier fan for repair or replacement when the atomizer malfunctions. This makes repair more difficult and can damage other parts of the device, increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] In addition, although some existing designs allow the atomizer to be disassembled, the disassembly process is cumbersome and complicated, requiring professional knowledge or tools, which brings inconvenience to ordinary users. This not only reduces the user experience, but also affects the maintenance efficiency and service life of the humidifier fan. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a humidifying fan whose atomizing device can be easily disassembled and replaced.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved in this way:

[0008] A humidifying fan comprises an atomizing device, a fan and a water tank. The fan housing is provided with a mounting cavity, the mounting cavity has an atomizing area built in, the water outlet of the water tank is connected to the atomizing area, and the mounting cavity is provided with a power socket outside the atomizing area.

[0009] The atomizing device is provided with a power supply plug, which is inserted into a power supply socket, and the power supply socket supplies power to the atomizing device through the power supply plug;

[0010] The atomizing device is detachably mounted in the mounting cavity, so as to achieve connection between the atomizing device and the fan housing;

[0011] The water in the water tank enters the atomization area along the water outlet, and the atomization device oscillates the water in the atomization device to form water mist and discharge it outward.

[0012] The atomizer unit features a detachable design, allowing for easy removal for daily cleaning, maintenance, and troubleshooting. This eliminates the need to disassemble the entire humidifier fan, avoiding tedious work and potential damage to other components, improving maintenance efficiency and convenience. This design allows users to replace the atomizer unit independently without replacing the entire fan system, saving maintenance costs.

[0013] By designing a plug-in connection method for the power socket and the power plug, the power connection between the atomizing device and the fan is simpler and safer. The external power supply supplies power to the atomizing device through the power socket and the power plug, which reduces the complexity of electrical contact and improves the reliability and safety of use.

[0014] The atomizer can be removed separately for cleaning and maintenance, preventing the accumulation of scale and impurities inside the atomizer and helping to extend its service life. Regular maintenance and replacement of the atomizer can maintain good atomization results, prevent scale buildup that can affect the air humidification effect, and ensure that the device maintains optimal performance even after extended use.

[0015] During the production process, the use of a detachable design helps simplify assembly and production processes, making the assembly and replacement of components more efficient. The modular structure of the design also facilitates manufacturers to improve work efficiency and reduce production costs during production, quality inspection, and after-sales service.

[0016] The purpose of the utility model can also be solved by the following technical measures:

[0017] Furthermore, the atomization device includes at least one atomization module, a base body and a bolt. The atomization module is arranged inside the base body, and the spray port of the atomization module is exposed outside the base body. The installation cavity is located outside the atomization area and is provided with bolt columns at intervals. The base body is provided with through holes at positions corresponding to the bolt columns. The bolts pass through the through holes and lock the corresponding bolt columns to realize the connection between the atomization device and the fan housing, and the water in the atomization area contacts the atomization module.

[0018] The atomizer is securely fastened to the mounting cavity by bolts and bolt posts, effectively preventing loosening due to vibration or external forces. Bolts pass through holes in the base and lock into corresponding bolt posts, ensuring the stability of the atomizer module during use and extending the life of the device.

[0019] The bolt structure is simple and removable, allowing users to easily loosen or tighten the bolts, enabling quick removal and installation of the atomizer module, making cleaning and maintenance easier. This design ensures the maintainability of the atomizer module, allowing users to easily replace or maintain it if a fault is discovered or cleaning is required, thus improving the user experience.

[0020] The atomizer module is housed within the housing, with the spray nozzle exposed outside. This makes the atomizer module more modular in design. Users can replace the atomizer module independently without having to replace the entire humidifier fan, reducing maintenance costs.

[0021] By allowing water to directly contact the atomizer module, this device achieves a more efficient water atomization effect, ensuring uniform discharge of water mist and improving air humidity. The direct contact water design of the atomizer module ensures a sufficient and stable water supply, improves the atomization effect, and ensures stable and effective humidification performance of the humidifier fan during operation.

[0022] Furthermore, the atomizing device also includes absorbent cotton, which opens at a position corresponding to the spray port, and is detachably arranged on the base.

[0023] Absorbent sponges are installed at the spray nozzle opening to absorb excess moisture, absorbing any incomplete atomization during the atomization process and reducing dripping caused by overflow. The absorbent sponges effectively conceal the bolts, giving the device a cleaner and tidier appearance, reducing the awkwardness of exposed bolts and enhancing the overall aesthetics. This concealed design is suitable for a variety of scenarios, including home and office use, and meets user demands for high-quality design.

[0024] The absorbent cotton adopts a detachable design. Users can easily remove the absorbent cotton for cleaning and replace the atomization module as needed, which facilitates users' daily maintenance and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0025] Furthermore, the atomizing device further comprises a dust cover, which is detachably arranged on the base and located in front of the absorbent cotton.

[0026] The dust cover can be placed in front of the absorbent cotton when not in use, effectively preventing dust and impurities from entering the spray port or the absorbent cotton, thereby preventing dust accumulation and reducing pollution to the atomizing device.

[0027] The dust cover is designed to be detachable. Users can quickly remove it when spraying is needed and then cover it after spraying is finished. It is easy to operate and convenient for daily use.

[0028] The protective function of the dust cover significantly reduces the chance of dust entering the atomizing device, reduces the frequency of cleaning the absorbent cotton and spray nozzle, and reduces the cleaning workload for users. At the same time, since the equipment remains clean, maintenance costs are reduced, which increases the economic efficiency of the equipment.

[0029] When spraying is not needed, the dust cover not only covers the absorbent cotton and the spray port, but also makes the appearance of the device more neat and beautiful.

[0030] Furthermore, the atomization module is an ultrasonic atomization sheet.

[0031] Ultrasonic atomizers can quickly decompose water into fine water mist through high-frequency vibration, significantly improving the atomization efficiency and making the water mist particles fine and uniform.

[0032] The ultrasonic atomizer requires low energy consumption when working, which not only reduces the operating cost of the humidification fan, but also reduces the consumption of electricity resources during long-term use, thereby improving the economy and environmental protection of the equipment.

[0033] The ultrasonic atomizer has a simple structure and no mechanical wear parts. It generates less heat during operation and has a longer service life.

[0034] The ultrasonic atomizer produces very low noise when working, and operates almost silently, making the humidification fan quieter in use and will not interfere with the user's daily life or sleep. It is especially suitable for places that require a quiet environment, such as homes and offices.

[0035] The amount of mist produced by the ultrasonic atomizer can be easily controlled by adjusting the operating frequency or power, allowing users to adjust the humidification rate according to the actual needs of the indoor environment. This flexibility makes the device more adaptable, allowing it to adapt to different humidity requirements and meet the diverse needs of users.

[0036] The ultrasonic atomizer is easy to clean during routine maintenance, reducing the maintenance difficulty of the equipment. Users only need to regularly clean the scale and impurities on the surface of the atomizer. The maintenance cost is low and the maintenance process is convenient and quick, which helps to maintain the long-term stable operation of the equipment.

[0037] Furthermore, the water tank is a box body with an open top, and a box cover matching the size of the water tank is provided at the bottom of the fan. The box cover sits on the top opening of the box body and seals the top opening of the box body, and the box body supports the fan upward.

[0038] The open top of the water tank mates with the cover at the bottom of the fan, firmly supporting the fan and ensuring a tight connection between the water tank and fan. This design enhances the overall structural stability of the device, ensuring the fan does not wobble or tilt during operation, reducing noise and damage caused by vibration.

[0039] The lid fits tightly over the open top of the water tank, effectively preventing water from spilling due to movement or tilting of the unit, ensuring safety and cleanliness during use. The sealed design reduces evaporation, allowing the water in the tank to remain contained for extended periods, extending the continuous operation of the humidification fan and reducing the need for frequent water refills.

[0040] The open top design of the water tank and the bottom cover make it easy to separate the water tank from the fan, making it easy to clean, replace, and add water to the water tank. When adding water, simply pour water into the water tank from the top, reducing the tedious steps in the water adding process. The open design also makes it easy for users to clean the inside of the water tank, easily removing accumulated scale and impurities, keeping the water tank clean and hygienic, and improving the atomization effect and the service life of the equipment.

[0041] Furthermore, the water tank and the atomization area are connected via a flexible conduit.

[0042] Furthermore, the humidifying fan is equipped with a built-in battery, and the battery and the power supply socket are connected, and the power of the battery is used to power the atomizing device through the power supply plug.

[0043] Furthermore, the housing of the fan includes an air outlet net and a rear mesh cover, the air outlet net and the rear mesh cover are connected, and the air outlet net is provided with the installation cavity.

[0044] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:

[0045] The atomizer in this utility model is connected via a power plug and socket and is detachably mounted in the mounting cavity, secured with bolts. This simple structure allows users to easily remove, replace, or maintain the atomizer, resolving the maintenance and replacement challenges associated with the integrated design of traditional humidifier fans. This extends the life of the device and reduces maintenance costs.

[0046] This new model uses an ultrasonic atomizer as its atomization module, which can efficiently oscillate water into a fine mist with small and uniform atomized particles. This design not only has a significant humidification effect, but also can quickly increase air humidity, improve air quality, and provide users with a more comfortable experience.

[0047] The open top water tank design of this utility model allows users to easily add water without having to disassemble the cumbersome structure. At the same time, the open design facilitates cleaning inside the water tank, avoiding the accumulation of scale and impurities, ensuring clean water quality, promoting the long-term stability of the atomization effect, and reducing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance of the equipment.

[0048] This new design features a sealed lid on the top of the water tank, preventing water from spilling when the device is tilted or moved, maintaining a clean and tidy environment. The water tank also serves as a supporting base for the fan, enhancing overall stability, reducing the risk of fan shaking and leaks, and improving safety and reliability.

[0049] In the utility model, in addition, the dust cover on the absorbent cotton increases the diversity of appearance, meets the user's demand for personalized appearance, and makes the device more attractive.

[0050] In the present invention, the design of the absorbent cotton makes the bolts invisible outside the device, thereby shielding the exposure of the bolts and making the overall appearance of the device more concise and refined. Moreover, when the atomization module fails or needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to remove the absorbent cotton to operate, reducing the complexity of maintenance.
