Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of home appliance technology, and more specifically to a humidifier with a concealed power connector. Background Technology

[0002] With economic development and improved living standards, people have increasingly higher demands for quality of life and health. Humidifiers, as an indispensable small household appliance in dry areas or during dry seasons, have gradually entered many homes.

[0003] Traditional humidifiers typically have two types of power cords: detachable and non-detachable. The power cord connectors are located on the outer casing or the main body. While this design makes it convenient for users to plug and unplug the humidifier, it also reveals shortcomings and safety hazards in actual use. During use or movement, these humidifiers are easily affected by external forces, causing the connectors to be bent or violently squeezed, resulting in damage or even breakage of the connectors, rendering the machine unusable. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0005] A humidifier with a concealed power connector includes a mounting base on which a main unit and a water tank are arranged side by side. The main unit has a power interface on the side facing the water tank and a power cord connected to the power interface. The water tank is detachably connected to the mounting base and has a clearance groove on the side facing the main unit to avoid the power cord.

[0006] The present invention is further configured such that the power cord and the power interface are detachably connected.

[0007] The present invention is further configured such that: the side walls of the water tank and the main unit facing each other are both flat; the power cord includes a connected wire head and a wire body; the wire head is at a right angle; the wire head is connected to the power interface; and the wire body is parallel to the side wall of the main unit facing the water tank.

[0008] The present invention is further configured such that: the wire end includes an adapter and a plug, the plug is disposed on the side wall of the adapter and perpendicular to it, the plug is inserted into the power interface, and the wire is connected to the adapter.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that: the upper and lower sides of the adapter are symmetrically provided with inclined surfaces for easy gripping, and the upper inclined surface is inclined downward in the direction of the plug-in portion.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the water tank can be moved vertically to be disassembled from the mounting base, and the clearance groove is located at the bottom of the water tank on the side facing the main unit.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that a handle groove for easy gripping is provided on the side of the water tank away from the main unit.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the power interface includes a circuit board disposed inside the host, and also includes a through hole opened on the side wall of the host and corresponding to the circuit board interface, and the power cable passes through the through hole and connects to the circuit board interface.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following advantages:

[0014] 1. The power interface is located on the side of the main unit facing the water tank. The water tank has a recessed groove to avoid the power cord, so that the connector can be located between the main unit and the water tank and is completely blocked. Only the cord extends out of the machine. When it is squeezed during transportation, the stress point will be on the cord, not the connector, which can effectively avoid damage caused by local pressure on the connector. Since the water tank is detachable, the water tank can be removed before connecting the power cord to the power interface.

[0015] 2. The power cord ends are at right angles, so that the cord extends outward parallel to the side wall of the main unit, perfectly conforming to the machine's structural design and making it less prone to damage; the cord ends also have symmetrical inclined surfaces, making it less likely to slip when the user grips the cord ends to pull it outward, and making operation more convenient.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can typically be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "install," "connect," and "link" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] A humidifier with a concealed power connector, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a mounting base 1, on which a main unit 2 and a water tank 3 are arranged side by side. The main unit 2 has a power interface 4 on the side facing the water tank 3. It also includes a power cord 5 connected to the power interface 4. The water tank 3 is detachably connected to the mounting base 1. The side of the water tank 3 facing the main unit 2 and corresponding to the position of the power interface 4 has a clearance groove 6 to avoid the power cord 5. The power cord 5 extends outward through the clearance groove 6, so that the connector is located between the main unit 2 and the water tank 3 and is perfectly covered. Only the part of the cord 52 protrudes outside the machine and is not easily damaged.

[0026] In this embodiment, the power cord 5 and the power interface 4 are detachably connected. Since the water tank 3 is also detachably connected, when the power cord 5 and the power interface 4 are connected, the water tank 3 should be removed first, the power cord 5 should be plugged in, and then the water tank 3 should be installed.

[0027] like Figures 2 to 4As shown, the sidewalls of the water tank 3 and the host 2 facing each other are vertical planes, and there is a small gap between the two planes. The power cord 5 includes a wire head 51 and a wire body 52. ​​The wire head 51 is right-angled and can be detachably connected to the power interface 4. The wire body 52 is parallel to the sidewall of the host 2 facing the water tank 3, so that the wire body 52 will not bend when it passes through the machine. The end of the wire body 52 away from the wire head 51 is provided with a plug for plugging into an external power source, or is provided with a data interface for connecting a charging head and then plugging into an external power source.

[0028] The cable head 51 includes an adapter part 511 and a plug part 512. The plug part 512 is disposed on the side wall of the adapter part 511 and is perpendicular to the adapter part 511. The plug part 512 is inserted into the power interface 4. The cable body 52 is connected to the adapter part 511. Since the plug part 512 is inserted perpendicularly into the side wall of the host 2, the adapter part 511 and the cable body 52 can remain parallel to the side wall of the host 2. The cable head 51 and the cable body 52 are integrally formed by overmolding.

[0029] The adapter 511 has symmetrical inclined surfaces 7 on its upper and lower sides for easy gripping. The upper inclined surface 7 is inclined downward toward the plug-in part 512, and the lower inclined surface 7 is symmetrical to the upper one and is inclined upward toward the plug-in part 512, making the adapter 511 triangular prism-shaped. When the user needs to unplug the power cord 5 from the power interface 4, it is easier to apply force and less likely to slip.

[0030] The power interface 4 includes a circuit board disposed inside the host 2, and a through hole opened on the side wall of the host 2 and corresponding to the circuit board interface. The interface of the circuit board is located inside the through hole and aligned with the through hole. The plug part 512 of the power cord 5 passes through the through hole and connects to the interface of the circuit board. The plug part 512 is plugged and unplugged from the interface of the circuit board to realize the detachable connection between the power cord 5 and the power interface 4.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the water tank 3 moves vertically and is disassembled from the mounting base 1. The clearance groove 6 is located at the bottom of the water tank 3 on the side facing the main unit 2. When the water tank 3 is installed into the mounting base 1 from top to bottom, the clearance groove 6 covers the end 51 of the power cord 5.

[0032] A top rod 9 is vertically installed inside the mounting base 1. A sealing cover 10 is detachably connected to the bottom of the water tank 3. The sealing cover 10 is connected to the water tank 3 by a threaded connection or an interference fit. A water baffle 11 is provided at the through hole of the sealing cover 10. The water baffle 11 is pulled down to block the through hole by the cooperation of the spring 13 and the connecting column 12. When the water tank 3 is installed downward into the mounting base 1, the top rod 9 lifts the connecting column 12 and the water baffle 11 to allow water to flow out. When the water tank 3 is removed, the spring 13 rebounds and pulls the connecting column 12 and the water baffle 11 down again to block the through hole and prevent water from flowing out.

[0033] The water tank 3 has a handle groove 8 on the side away from the main unit 2 for easy gripping. Both the clearance groove 6 and the handle groove 8 are formed by the indentation of the side wall of the water tank 3. The user can put his / her fingers into the handle groove 8 to make it easier to lift the water tank 3.

[0034] The working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0035] When the machine needs to be connected to the power cord 5, the user first lifts the water tank 3 upwards and removes it from the mounting base 1, inserts the plug part 512 of the power cord 5 into the power interface 4, and then reinstalls the water tank 3 into the mounting base 1. The relief groove 6 of the water tank 3 covers the connection point of the power cord 5. When the power cord 5 needs to be unplugged, the water tank 3 is also removed first, the power cord 5 is unplugged, and then the water tank 3 is reinstalled.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the design concept of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
