Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of humidifier technology, and in particular to a water tank and a humidifier for use in a humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] A humidifier is a household appliance used to increase the humidity of the air in a room or specific space. In dry seasons or environments, humidifiers help maintain suitable humidity levels, thereby improving comfort, protecting health, and reducing potential damage to furniture and equipment. Based on their working principle, humidifiers can be categorized into three types: ultrasonic humidifiers, evaporative humidifiers, and hot steam humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers use high-frequency vibrations to convert water molecules into extremely fine water mist, increasing air humidity; evaporative humidifiers use evaporation technology to allow water molecules to directly enter the air without producing water mist; and hot steam humidifiers increase air humidity by heating water to generate steam.

[0003] In most traditional humidifiers, the water tank is integrated with the entire unit, requiring the humidifier to be moved when refilling, which is inconvenient and can easily cause water splashing. Even in some split-type humidifiers, disassembling the water tank is not convenient, requiring the removal of most components or the outer casing before the water tank can be disassembled.

[0039] See Figure 1-7 , Figure 1 This paper shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the water tank 310 of the humidifier 1 according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8-9 A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a humidifier 1 according to an embodiment of this application is shown. A water tank 310 provided in an embodiment of this application is used in the humidifier 1; more particularly, the water tank 310 is mainly used in a multi-functional humidifier 1.

[0040] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, a water tank 310 is configured for the bottom of the humidifier 1. The water tank 310 includes a main body and a quick-release mechanism 320. A water storage space is formed within the main body of the water tank 310. The quick-release mechanism 320 is located at the bottom of the main body of the water tank 310 and is operated by external force to switch between a pressed state and an initial state. When the quick-release mechanism 320 is in the pressed state, the main body of the water tank 310 can detach from the housing 100 of the humidifier 1. When the quick-release mechanism 320 returns to its initial state, it engages with the housing 100, allowing the main body of the water tank 310 to be installed in the humidifier 1.

[0041] The water tank 310 can be easily removed from the lower part of the humidifier 1 housing 100 by operating the quick-release mechanism 320. Installing the water tank 310 also requires only one action. The water tank 310 is easy and quick to disassemble and install. The water tank 310 can be operated independently, and the disassembly and installation process does not affect the other structures of the humidification module 300, which facilitates the multi-functional humidifier 1 structural design.

[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the quick-release mechanism 320 includes a button 321. One side of the button 321 is configured to be movably connected to the main body of the water tank 310, and the other side of the button 321 is configured to dock with the housing 100 of the humidifier 1 in the initial state.

[0043] Specifically, the movable button 321 moves along a straight line relative to the main body of the water tank 310. When the button 321 is in its initial state, one end of the button 321 is connected to the housing 100, and the housing 100 limits the button 321, so that the main body of the water tank 310 is installed in the corresponding position inside the housing 100. When the button 321 is operated by the user to become a pressed state, the button 321 moves a certain distance along a straight line relative to the main body of the water tank 310, and the button 321 separates from the housing 100, so that the main body of the water tank 310 can be separated from the housing 100.

[0044] In one embodiment, the bottom of the main body of the water tank 310 is provided with a pressing groove 313, and the pressing quick-release mechanism 320 is disposed in the pressing groove 313. The pressing groove 313 is an independent groove structure formed by the recess of the main body of the water tank 310, and the pressing groove 313 constitutes part of the outer surface of the main body of the water tank 310. The pressing quick-release mechanism is disposed in the pressing groove 313 and moves in the pressing groove 313 in a straight line direction.

[0045] In one embodiment, the quick-release mechanism 320 includes a button 321 and an elastic element 322. The button 321 is disposed within a pressing groove 313 and is movable relative to the pressing groove 313. The elastic element 322 abuts against the inner surface of the button 321 and the bottom of the pressing groove 313. The elastic element 322 provides a restoring force to the button 321 to return it from a pressed state to its initial state. When the external force disappears, the button 321 returns to its initial state from the pressed state.

[0046] In one embodiment, a first limiting part 3214 protrudes from one end of the button 321 facing the pressing groove 313. An abutting plate 323 is provided in the pressing groove 313. The first limiting part 3214 is located between the abutting plate 323 and the bottom of the groove. When the quick-release mechanism 320 is reset to the initial state, the first limiting part 3214 abuts against the surface of the abutting plate 323.

[0047] Specifically, the abutment plate 323 is spaced apart from the bottom of the groove. The gap between the abutment plate 323 and the bottom of the groove defines the minimum distance that the button 321 can move in a straight line. When the button 321 is operated by the user to a pressed state, the button 321 is limited by at least one of the bottom of the groove and the abutment plate 323. When the button 321 is in the initial state, the button 321 is limited by at least one of the bottom of the groove and the abutment plate 323. Further, in the embodiment shown in the figure, when the button 321 is operated by the user to a pressed state, the first limiting part 3214 abuts against the bottom of the groove to be limited by the bottom of the groove. When the button 321 is in the initial state, the first limiting part 3214 abuts against the abutment plate 323 to be limited by the abutment plate 323.

[0048] The button 321 includes a moving part 3215, which passes through the abutting plate 323. The abutting plate 323 has a through hole so that the moving part 3215 of the button 321 can pass through, and the first limiting part 3214 is disposed between the abutting plate 323 and the bottom of the groove.

[0049] In one embodiment, the outward-facing side of the button 321 includes an operating part 3211 and a mating part 3212. The operating part 3211 is disposed on the outer periphery of the mating part 3212 and protrudes from the housing 100. The mating part 3212 is disposed inside the housing 100. The mating part 3212 is provided with a second limiting part 3213. When the quick-release mechanism 320 is reset to the initial state, the second limiting part 3213 abuts against the inner surface of the housing 100.

[0050] The moving part 3215 is located on the side of the button 321 opposite to the operating part 3211 and the docking part 3212. The housing 100 has an operating hole so that when the quick-release mechanism 320 is in its initial state, the operating part 3211 protrudes from the operating hole, and the second limiting part 3213 abuts against the housing 100 to achieve docking of the water tank 310 with the housing 100. The housing 100 has a limiting groove that matches and connects with the second limiting part 3213. When the quick-release mechanism 320 is in the pressed state, the second limiting part 3213 separates from the housing 100, and the water tank 310 can be disassembled.

[0051] In other embodiments, the second limiting part 3213 may not be provided. The operating part 3211 and the docking part 3212 form a stepped structure. The docking part 3212 as a whole forms a limiting structure. The housing 100 is provided with a limiting groove that matches the shape of the docking part 3212 to achieve connection.

[0052] In one embodiment, the pressing groove 313 is provided with a first fixing platform 324, and one end of the elastic member 322 is sleeved on the first fixing platform 324;

[0053] And / or, the button 321 is provided with a second fixing platform 325, and one end of the elastic member 322 is sleeved on the second fixing platform 325.

[0054] Specifically, a first fixing platform 324 is disposed at the bottom of the abutment plate 323 or the pressing groove 313. The shape of the first fixing platform 324 matches the shape of the end of the elastic member 322, and is used to fix one end of the elastic member 322. For example, the first fixing platform 324 is circular, the elastic member 322 is spiral, and one end of the elastic member 322 is sleeved on one end of the circular first fixing platform 324. A second fixing platform 325 is disposed on the surface of the button 321 facing away from the operating part 3211. The shape of the second fixing platform 325 matches the shape of the end of the elastic member 322, and is used to fix one end of the elastic member 322. For example, the second fixing platform 325 is circular, the elastic member 322 is spiral, and one end of the elastic member 322 is sleeved on one end of the circular second fixing platform 325.

[0055] In one embodiment, the humidifier 1 further includes a humidification module 300, which is used to provide humidification fluid. The humidification module 300 includes the water tank 310 and a humidification core 330. One end of the humidification core 330 extends into the water tank 310, and the other end extends out of the water tank 310 and is extended.

[0056] The housing 100 has a first through hole 110, a second through hole 120, a first receiving space 130, a second receiving space 140, and a connecting portion 150. The first receiving space 130 and the second receiving space 140 are connected through the connecting portion 150. The position of the first through hole 110 corresponds to the position of the first receiving space 130, and the position of the second through hole 120 corresponds to the position of the connecting portion 150. A functional module is disposed in the first receiving space 130, and the functional module is spaced apart from the inner surface of the housing 100. A humidification module 300 is disposed in the second receiving space 140, and the humidification module 300 is used to provide humidifying fluid to the connecting portion 150.

[0057] The housing 100 includes a middle frame component 200, which includes a first support member 210 and a second support member 220. The first support member 210 is spaced apart from the top surface 101 to form the connecting portion 150, and the second support member 220 is used to divide the first accommodating space 130 and the second accommodating space 140.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the main frame forms a first accommodating space 130 and a second accommodating space 140, which are separated from each other by a middle frame member 200. For example, the middle frame member 200 can be formed as a partition between the front and rear spaces of the main frame, while being located in the central region of the main frame. In this case, the first accommodating space 130 can be the space in front of the middle frame member 200 with the front as the center, and the second accommodating space 140 can be the space in the rear of the middle frame member 200 with the rear as the center.

[0059] The humidifying core 330 has one end inserted into the water tank 310 and the other end extending out of the water tank 310 and into the second receiving space 140 above the water tank 310, extending to the humidification outlet 212 at the bottom of the connecting portion 150. The humidifying module 300 also includes a vibrating element 350 for generating atomized humidifying fluid, and the humidifying core 330 is connected between the vibrating element 350 and the water tank 310.

[0060] In one embodiment, the humidifier 1 includes a platform component 500, which includes a platform portion 510 and a protective sleeve portion 520. The platform portion 510 is located in the middle of the humidifier 1, and the protective sleeve portion 520 is located between the platform portion 510 and the housing 100. The upper end of the water tank 310 abuts against the platform portion 510, and one end of the humidifying core 330 extending from the water tank 310 is located inside the protective sleeve portion 520.

[0061] Specifically, the platform component 500 is disposed within the second receiving space 140 and is fixedly connected to the middle frame component 200. The platform portion 510 of the platform component 500 divides the second receiving space 140 into an upper receiving portion 141 and a lower receiving portion 142 arranged vertically. The water tank 310 is disposed in the lower receiving portion 142, and a part of the humidifying core 330 and the vibrating element 350 are located in the upper receiving portion 141. The outer periphery of the platform portion 510 abuts against the housing 100 and the middle frame component 200. After the water tank 310 is installed, the upper surface of the water tank 310 abuts against the lower surface of the platform portion 510. The water tank 310 is installed in the second receiving space 140. The water tank 310 is installed from the lower part of the humidifier 1 into the housing 100, and the bottom of the water tank 310 closes the second receiving space 140, so that the middle frame component 200, the side plate 106 of the housing 100, and the bottom of the water tank 310 form the second receiving space 140.

[0062] The humidifying core 330 is fixed to the platform member 500 and / or the middle frame member 200. The sheath portion 520 is located above the platform portion 510 and is mated between the middle frame member 200 and the platform portion 510, forming a cavity to accommodate the humidifying core 330. In particular, the platform portion 510 and the sheath portion 520 are an integral structure.

[0063] In one embodiment, a collar 160 is provided at the humidification outlet 212. The collar 160 is fitted onto the humidification outlet 212 and is used to install and connect the humidification module 300. Specifically, the collar 160 includes a central through hole and an annular groove 162. The central through hole includes a first connecting portion 163 and a second connecting portion 164. The annular groove 162 is located on the outer periphery of the collar 160 and is used to connect with the humidification outlet 212, so that the collar 160 is located inside the humidification outlet 212. A portion of the groove wall of the annular groove 162 is located on the upper surface of the humidification outlet 212, and another portion is located on the lower surface of the humidification outlet 212 to complete the connection. The first connecting portion 163 is stepped, and an annular wall is formed in the middle. The first connecting portion 163 is used to install the vibrating element 350, and the side of the vibrating element 350 abuts against the annular wall. The through hole formed in the middle of the annular wall is used to discharge humidifying gas. The inner diameter of the second docking part 164 is larger than that of the first docking part 163. A step structure is formed at the second docking part 164 so that the upper end of the sheath part 520 abuts against the step.

[0064] The humidification module 300 also includes a filter section 360, which is sleeved on the outside of a portion of the humidification core 330 located inside the water tank 310. The upper end of the filter section 360 abuts against the lower surface of the platform member 500. The filter section 360 and the sheath section 520 form a cavity for accommodating the humidification core 330, thus fixing the humidification core 330 inside the humidifier 1. The filter section 360 is detachably connected to the platform member 500. The filter section 360 has filter holes to allow water from the water tank 310 to pass through.

[0065] The water tank 310 mainly comprises a base portion 311 and a water storage portion 312. The base portion 311 is provided with a pressing groove 313 and a pressing quick-release mechanism 320, and the water storage portion 312 is located above the base portion 311. The base portion 311 and the water storage portion 312 are composed of different materials. The base portion 311 is made of a stronger material, while the water storage portion 312 is made of a transparent material. The housing 100 is provided with a viewing hole, the position of which matches the water storage portion 312, to display the water level changes of the water tank 310. Furthermore, the thickness of the base portion 311 is greater than the thickness of the water storage portion 312, so that a slot is formed on the upper edge of the base portion 311, and the water storage portion 312 is inserted into the slot.

[0066] In one embodiment, the humidification module 300 further includes a water level detection element 340, which is disposed inside the water tank 310 and is used to detect the water level information inside the water tank 310.
