[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] The following is combined Figures 1-4 This invention describes an antibacterial agent slow-release device, which is used in the water tank of a humidifier to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the water tank, ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the humidified water and improving the user experience.

[0031] In one embodiment provided in this application, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the antibacterial agent slow-release device comprises a shell 10 and a sealing part 20. The shell 10 has an accommodating cavity 101 with an open end formed inside, which is used to fill the slow-release agent; the sealing part 20 comprises a communicating member 201 and a sealing member, the sealing member covers the opening and is used to seal the accommodating cavity 101; the first end of the communicating member 201 is arranged outside the accommodating cavity 101, and the second end of the communicating member 201 penetrates through the sealing member and is arranged inside the accommodating cavity 101, so that the communicating member 201 allows the slow-release agent in the accommodating cavity 101 to seep outwards.

[0032] Specifically, the shell 10 is the main part of the entire device, and an accommodating cavity 101 with an open end is formed inside. The accommodating cavity 101 is used to fill the slow-release agent, i.e. the antibacterial agent. The sealing part 20 comprises a communicating member 201 and a sealing member. The first end of the communicating member 201 is arranged outside the accommodating cavity 101, and the second end penetrates through the sealing member and enters the accommodating cavity 101. In this way, the slow-release agent seeps out from the accommodating cavity 101 through the communicating member 201. The opening and the sealing member are tightly combined in an interference fit manner to prevent the slow-release agent from leaking without passing through the communicating member 201.

[0033] In use, an appropriate amount of slow-release agent is added to the accommodating cavity 101 inside the shell 10; then, the pre-prepared sealing part 20 is assembled to the opening of the shell 10, and ultrasonic welding is performed to form a stable whole with the shell 10; the antibacterial agent slow-release device after assembly is placed in the humidifier water tank, and when the antibacterial agent slow-release device is immersed in the humidifier water tank, the sealing part 20 ensures that the slow-release agent in the accommodating cavity 101 will not directly leak due to the water in the water tank. This ensures that the slow-release agent seeps out through the communicating member 201 only when needed. The slow-release agent slowly seeps out of the communicating member 201 into the water body. This process is continuous, ensuring that the antibacterial component can be uniformly distributed in the water body in the water tank. The seeped antibacterial component effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, thereby ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the water quality during the humidification process.

[0034] The antibacterial agent slow-release device provided in the embodiment is used to fill the slow-release agent in the accommodating cavity 101 formed in the shell 10, and the sealing part 20 is combined with the communicating member 201 and the sealing member, which not only ensures the sealing of the accommodating cavity 101 to prevent the slow-release agent from leaking, but also allows the slow-release agent to slowly seep out of the communicating member 201 into the water body. When the antibacterial agent slow-release device is immersed in the humidifier water tank, the antibacterial component can be continuously and uniformly released into the water body in the humidifier water tank without increasing the additional operation or burden of the user, effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria, ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the water quality during the humidification process, and providing a healthier and more comfortable humidification environment for the user.

[0035] It should be noted that the slow-release agent is an environmentally friendly slow-release agent, which is friendly to the human body and will not cause any side effects to the user.

[0036] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The antibacterial agent slow-release device further comprises a support part 30. The support part 30 is connected to the end of the shell 10 where the opening is provided, and the cover is provided on the sealing part 20. The support part 30 is provided with notches 301 to allow the slow-release agent led out by the connecting part 201 to diffuse outwardly through the notches 301.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support part 30 is provided on the sealing part 20 to prevent external factors (such as the flow of fluid in the humidifier water tank) from affecting the connecting part 201 or the sealing part, thereby affecting the normal seepage of the slow-release agent.

[0038] The support part 30 is provided with notches 301, which are channels for the slow-release agent to diffuse outwardly after seeping out of the connecting part 201. This avoids the influence of external factors on the seepage of the slow-release agent and ensures that the antibacterial components can be uniformly and continuously released into the water body.

[0039] In use, an appropriate amount of slow-release agent is added to the containing cavity 101 in the shell 10. Then, the pre-prepared sealing part 20 is assembled to the opening of the shell 10, and ultrasonic welding is performed to form a stable whole with the shell 10. Next, the support part 30 is connected to the shell 10 through the buckle. Finally, the completed antibacterial agent slow-release device is placed in the humidifier water tank, and the slow-release agent seeps out of the containing cavity 101 through the connecting part 201 and diffuses outwardly through the notches 301 of the support part 30 to the water body. This process not only ensures the continuous seepage of the slow-release agent but also reduces the influence of external factors on the seepage process.

[0040] As shown in Figures 1 to 4 The support part 30 comprises a shell cover 302 and a counterweight 303. The shell cover 302 is buckled to the end of the shell 10 where the opening is provided, and covers the sealing part 20. The shell cover 302 is provided with notches 301. The counterweight 303 is connected to the shell cover 302 to enable the device to sink stably and ensure that its functions are normally performed.

[0041] In this embodiment, the shell cover 302 is the main part of the support part 30 and is responsible for covering and protecting the sealing part 20. The counterweight 303 is arranged on the top of the shell cover 302 to ensure that the device can stably sink to the bottom or a specified depth of the humidifier water tank. Through the combined design of the shell cover 302 and the counterweight 303, the shell cover 302 protects the sealing part 20 to ensure the smooth seepage of the slow-release agent in the device, and the counterweight 303 ensures that the device can stably sink to the bottom or a specified depth of the humidifier water tank. This not only improves the stability of the device but also ensures that its functions can be normally performed. Whether in a static or dynamic water environment, the device can maintain a stable sinking state, continuously release antibacterial components, and effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria.

[0042] As shown in Figures 1 to 4As shown, the counterweight 303 is connected to the top of the shell cover 302 between the shell cover 302 and the sealing part 20. The counterweight 303 is fixed to the top of the shell cover 302, so that the antibacterial slow-release device is in an inverted state after sinking in the water body.

[0043] Optionally, as shown, the shell cover 302 is provided with a plurality of notches 301 uniformly arranged along the side of the shell cover 302. The notches 301 are uniformly distributed along the side of the shell cover 302, ensuring that the slow-release agent can cover a wider area when exuding, avoiding the situation of local high or low concentration. Figures 1 to 4

[0044] When used in a humidifier water tank, this antibacterial slow-release device can quickly and stably release antibacterial components, ensuring the safety and cleanliness of the water quality. The uniform distribution of the plurality of notches 301 along the side of the shell cover 302 allows the antibacterial components to cover the water body more extensively, thereby more effectively inhibiting the growth of bacteria. This not only improves the performance of the humidifier, but also provides users with a healthier and more comfortable humidifying experience.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown, one of the shell cover 302 and the shell body 10 is provided with a buckle 102, and the other is provided with a clamping groove 304. The shell cover 302 is connected to the end of the shell body 10 provided with the opening through the buckle 102 and the clamping groove 304. Figures 1 to 4

[0046] In this embodiment, the shell body 10 is provided with the buckle 102, and the shell cover 302 is provided with the clamping groove 304 matched with the buckle 102. This design allows the shell cover 302 to be easily and firmly connected to the end of the shell body 10 provided with the opening.

[0047] When used in a humidifier water tank, users can easily install the shell cover 302 on the shell body 10 through the connection of the buckle 102 and the clamping groove 304, ensuring that the slow-release agent can exude smoothly and be evenly distributed in the water body.

[0048] In some embodiments, as shown, the sealing part includes a silica gel sheet 202 and a plastic ring 203. The plastic ring 203 is attached to the periphery of the silica gel sheet 202, and the silica gel sheet 202 is provided with a slow-release hole for passing through the communication member 201, and the plastic ring 203 is connected to the opening. Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the silica gel sheet 202 is the main part of the sealing part, which has good flexibility and sealing performance, and can be tightly attached to the opening of the shell body 10 to prevent the slow-release agent from leaking. The plastic ring 203 is attached to the periphery of the silica gel sheet 202, which plays a role in reinforcing and supporting. At the same time, the design of the plastic ring 203 also makes the sealing part more firmly connected to the opening of the shell body 10.

[0049]

[0050] ​​​The silicone sheet 202 is provided with slow-release holes for the passage of the communication member 201. The positions and number of these holes are adjusted according to the type of slow-release agent, the seepage rate, and the distribution requirements. The slow-release holes allow the communication member 201 to pass through the silicone sheet 202, thereby connecting the slow-release agent to the water body. At the same time, the flexibility and sealing properties of the silicone sheet 202 ensure that there is no leakage of the slow-release agent around the slow-release holes.

[0051] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the communication member 201 is a needle tube (optionally made of stainless steel). The first end of the needle tube is arranged outside the containment cavity 101, and the second end of the communication member 201 passes through the slow-release hole and is arranged at the top of the containment cavity 101 (the entire antibacterial slow-release device is placed upside down in the water body). Figures 1 to 3

[0052] In this embodiment, the needle tube is made of stainless steel, which has good corrosion resistance and strength, ensuring that it is not easily damaged during long-term use. The first end of the needle tube is arranged outside the containment cavity 101, facilitating connection or filling of the slow-release agent. The second end of the needle tube passes through the slow-release hole on the silicone sheet 202 and reaches the top of the containment cavity 101, ensuring that the slow-release agent can flow out smoothly and be evenly distributed in the water body. The external needle tube design is simple and intuitive, easy to install and maintain. At the same time, the choice of stainless steel material also improves the durability and reliability of the needle tube.

[0053] In addition, an internal design can also be used. Unlike the external design, the internal needle tube is hidden in the inner wall of the shell 10, leaving only a small outlet for the slow-release agent to flow out. This design not only improves the aesthetics of the device, but also effectively prevents the needle tube from being physically damaged and causing the slow-release rate to get out of control. The internal needle tube requires more precise machining technology and higher sealing standards. This includes ensuring that the needle tube is tightly fitted to the inner wall of the shell 10, as well as precise machining and sealing of the small outlet. These measures ensure that the slow-release path is unobstructed while not affecting the overall waterproof performance.

[0054] It should be noted that the inner diameter of the needle tube directly affects the seepage rate of the slow-release agent. A smaller inner diameter will slow down the seepage rate, allowing the slow-release agent to be more evenly distributed in the water body and prolonging its service life. Choosing the appropriate inner diameter size can also improve the anti-clogging performance of the needle tube. A smaller inner diameter can reduce the chances of particulate impurities and microorganisms entering the interior of the needle tube, thereby reducing the risk of clogging.

[0055] The inner diameter of the needle tube in this embodiment is set to be less than or equal to 0.3 mm. This range ensures that the slow-release agent can seep out at an appropriate rate, neither too fast to waste nor too slow to be ineffective. The preferred size: 0.3 mm is chosen as the preferred inner diameter size. This size provides sufficient flow to meet the slow-release requirements while maintaining a certain fluid resistance to prevent clogging problems caused by particulate impurities or microbial growth.​

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the shell 10 and the shell cover 302 are made of PP or HDPE material. The silica gel sheet 202 is made of medical-grade silica gel material, which has good biocompatibility and corrosion resistance and does not harm the human body. The medical-grade silica gel sheet also has good flexibility and elasticity, and can tightly fit at the opening of the shell 10 to form an effective sealing barrier. In addition, the silica gel sheet 202 is easy to clean and disinfect, meeting the hygiene standards.

[0057] When used in a humidifier water tank, the selection of these materials ensures that the antibacterial agent slow-release device can operate stably for a long time and does not cause performance degradation or safety hazards due to material problems.

[0058] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the silica gel sheet 202 is convexly arc-shaped in a direction away from the shell 10 to the outside of the containing cavity 101, and the slow-release hole is located at the convex portion of the silica gel sheet 202. Figures 1 to 4

[0059] The silica gel sheet 202 is designed to be convexly arc-shaped in order to leave a certain space between the needle tube of the hardware and the slow-release agent. During assembly, the slow-release agent tank is first assembled in the containing cavity 101 of the shell 10, then the sealing part 20 is assembled at the opening end of the shell 10 to seal the slow-release agent in the shell 10, and then the support part 30 is assembled. After assembly, the slow-release device is sealed in a packaging bag and vacuumized for preservation. If the needle tube directly contacts the slow-release agent, the slow-release agent will seep out of the needle tube during vacuumization.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.​
