[0012] In some embodiments, the mounting position has a first connecting structure, the water storage member has a second connecting structure, and the water storage member is configured to be detachably linked with the first connecting structure through the second connecting structure.

[0013] In this way, the installation reliability of the water storage member when being mounted on the mounting position can be improved to avoid movement of the water storage member relative to the air outlet grille.

[0014] In some embodiments, the first connecting structure includes one of a mounting groove and a mounting protrusion, the second connecting structure includes the other of the mounting groove and the mounting protrusion, and the mounting protrusion is configured to be mounted in the mounting groove.

[0015] In this way, when the water storage member is mounted on the mounting position, the mounting protrusion only needs to be inserted into the mounting groove to limit and fix the circumference of the water storage member.

[0018] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are both magnets; or,

[0019] One of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is a magnet, and the other is a soft magnetic body.

[0023] In some embodiments, the installation position has a first positioning structure, and the water storage element has a second positioning structure matched with the first positioning structure, and the first positioning structure is configured to cooperate with the second positioning structure.

[0024] In this way, the first positioning structure and the second positioning structure can be used to position the water storage element in the circumferential direction of the installation position, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the water storage element installed in the installation position.

[0025] In some embodiments, the first positioning structure is one of a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove, and the second positioning structure is the other of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove.

[0026] In this way, the positioning structure is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost.

[0027] In some embodiments, the installation position has a limiting structure on the outer circumferential side, and when the water storage element is installed in the installation position, the limiting structure is located on the outer circumferential side of the water storage element.

[0028] In this way, when the water storage element is installed in the installation position, the circumferential movement of the water storage element can be further limited, thereby improving the reliability of the water storage element installed in the installation position.

[0029] In some embodiments, the air outlet grille further has a grille portion, and the grille portion surrounds the outer circumferential side of the limiting structure.

[0030] In this way, the air blown out by the humidifier main machine can be blown in the circumferential direction to the filter element through the grille portion, thereby increasing the air outlet area of the air outlet grille and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0031] In some embodiments, the water storage element has a holding portion configured to be held by a user.

[0032] In this way, the comfort of the user during disassembly and assembly of the water storage element is improved, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments, the humidifier further comprises a floating element arranged in the water storage tank, and the floating element is configured to float up and down with the change of the water level in the water storage tank.

[0034] The water storage tank has a mounting boss, the mounting boss has a pivot joint, the pivot joint defines a fixed axis, a floating member is pivoted to the pivot joint, and when the floating member floats up and down in the water storage tank, the floating member rotates relative to the pivot joint around the fixed axis.

[0035] In this way, the position of the floating member in the water storage tank is limited, thereby improving the reliability of the floating member when floating up and down.

[0055] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and superiorities of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described below in connection with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application. The following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0056] The embodiments of the present application provide a humidifier, which includes but is not limited to a fog-free humidifier. The structure and working principle of the humidifier will be described in detail below taking the fog-free humidifier as an example.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the humidifier 10 provided by the embodiments of the present application comprises a humidifier main machine 100, a filter element assembly 200 and a water tank 300, the water tank 300 is arranged above the humidifier main machine 100, and the filter element assembly 200 is arranged between the humidifier main machine 100 and the water tank 300; wherein the water tank 300 is used for storing humidifying water of the humidifier 10, the humidifying water in the water tank 300 can be pure water, or can also be a water solution with additives such as mixed spices, bactericides, essential oils, etc., the embodiments of the present application do not make specific limitation on this, and the liquid used for the humidifying filter element 210 will be collectively referred to as water in the following, and will not be specifically described.

[0058] In the embodiments of the present application, by arranging the water tank 300 above the filter element assembly 200, and by the openable and closable drain hole, when the drain hole is opened, the water in the water tank 300 can drip and flow to the filter element assembly 200 through the drain hole, so as to achieve the purpose of wetting the filter element 210 by the water in the water tank 300 through the drain hole, without the need to additionally arrange a pump or other water pumping device, thereby reducing the noise generated by the pump when pumping water during the working of the humidifier 10, and avoiding the position of the cost increase of the humidifier 10 caused by the pump or other water pumping device, thereby reducing the cost and improving the user's use experience.

[0059] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2As shown, the humidifier main machine 100 comprises a main machine shell 110 and a fan assembly 140, the main machine shell 110 has a receiving cavity, the sidewall of the main machine shell 110 is provided with a plurality of air inlet holes 111 which are in communication with the receiving cavity, the plurality of air inlet holes 111 are arranged along the circumference of the main machine shell 110, so that external air can enter the inside of the receiving cavity through the air inlet holes 111, the fan assembly 140 is arranged in the receiving cavity, the fan assembly 140 comprises a motor 141 and a fan 142, the fan 142 is connected with the motor 141, when the motor 141 is powered on and started, the motor 141 is used to drive the fan 142 to operate, so as to drive the air flow; the filter element assembly 200 is arranged above the fan assembly 140, the filter element assembly 200 comprises a filter element support 220 and a filter element 210, the filter element 210 is installed on the filter element support 220, the filter element support 220 is used to provide a support basis for the filter element 210, wherein one end of the filter element support 220 facing the humidifier main machine 100 is provided with an air inlet, the other end of the filter element support 220 is provided with an air outlet, the water tank 300 is arranged above the filter element assembly 200, wherein the bottom wall of the water tank 300 is provided with a lower water hole which can be opened and closed, when the lower water hole is opened, the water in the water tank 300 drops through the lower water hole and flows to the filter element 210 in the filter element assembly 200, so as to wet the filter element 210, in this way, the flowing air flow blows to the filter element 210 through the air inlet, the air flow passes through the wetted filter element 210, the moisture on the filter element 210 can evaporate naturally in the process of air flow and flow out through the air outlet with the air flow, so as to increase the humidity of the air, in addition, this humidification method can avoid the generation of visible water mist, thereby reducing the deposition of visible water mist on furniture, reducing the breeding of bacteria, and also avoiding the potential damage of water mist deposition to furniture and floor.

[0060] In some embodiments, the filter element support 220 comprises a filter element 210 upper cover and a filter element 210 lower cover, the filter element 210 is arranged between the filter element 210 upper cover and the filter element 210 lower cover, so as to provide a support basis for the filter element 210, wherein the filter element 210 lower cover is arranged at one end of the filter element 210 facing the humidifier main machine 100, and the filter element 210 upper cover is arranged at the other end of the filter element 210 facing the water tank 300, wherein the filter element 210 lower cover is provided with an air inlet, and the filter element 210 upper cover is provided with an air outlet; in addition, the filter element 210 upper cover and the filter element 210 lower cover jointly form an annular air duct, the filter element 210 is arranged in the annular air duct, by arranging an independent annular air duct, in this way, the air flow blowing to the filter element 210 can be gathered in the annular air duct, so as to avoid the air flow blowing to the filter element 210 flowing out through the circumferential sidewall (i.e. non-air outlet area) of the filter element 210, which causes the air flow blowing to the filter element 210 to not be able to effectively pass through the filter element 210 and flow out through the air outlet, thereby affecting the humidification efficiency and effect of the humidifier 10.

[0061] It can be understood that the filter core 210 is annular, and the wind blocking portions are arranged on the inner side wall and the outer side wall of the filter core 210, respectively. In this way, the annular air duct is formed between the wind blocking portions arranged on the inner side wall and the outer side wall of the filter core 210, so as to gather the airflow blown to the filter core 210, so that the airflow can effectively pass through the entire filter core 210 after being wetted, and then flow out through the air outlet, so as to improve the humidification efficiency of the humidifier 10.

[0062] In order to further improve the humidification efficiency, the air outlet can extend to the side wall of the filter core 210, so as to increase the air outlet area, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifier 10.

[0063] In addition, since the water tank 300 is arranged on the top of the filter core assembly 200, wind resistance is generated, which affects the air outlet area and the air outlet efficiency of the air outlet. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is shown that the outer contour of the side of the water tank 300 facing the filter core assembly 200 is formed with a wind guide structure 310, which is used to avoid the air outlet. In this way, the airflow flowing out through the air outlet can flow out of the humidifier 10 along the contour of the wind guide structure 310, so as to guide the airflow.

[0064] For example, in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the wind guide structure 310 is an arc-shaped wind guide surface, wherein the wind guide structure 310 is arranged at the transition position between the bottom wall and the outer side wall of the water tank 300, so as to reduce the wind resistance generated by the water tank 300 through the wind guide structure 310, and avoid the air outlet position of the air outlet through the wind guide structure 310, so as to increase the effective air outlet area, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidifier 10.

[0065] In addition, it can be understood that the larger the wetted area of the filter core 210 and the effective area of the filter core 210 through which the airflow blown to the filter core 210 passes, the better the humidification effect.

[0066] In some embodiments, the filter core support 220 has a liquid containing groove, the liquid containing groove is located below the water outlet hole of the water tank 300, the filter core 210 is arranged around the outer circumferential side of the liquid containing groove, and the groove wall of the liquid containing groove has a plurality of water outlets, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the liquid containing groove. In this way, the water in the water tank 300 drips into the liquid containing groove through the water outlet hole, and the water in the liquid containing groove flows to the filter core 210 through the water outlets around the liquid containing groove, so as to wet the filter core 210 along the circumference of the filter core 210, thereby improving the efficiency of wetting the filter core 210 and the uniformity of the humidity of the filter core 210.

[0067] When the water flowing to the filter core 210 is excessive, the excessive water on the filter core 210 will drip downward, and since the humidifier host 100 is located below the filter core 210, the water dripping downward from the filter core 210 can cause damage to the internal components of the humidifier host 100.

[0068] To solve the above problems, in some embodiments, a water storage tray is arranged inside the humidifier host 100, the water storage tray is arranged in the accommodation cavity and connected to the cavity wall of the accommodation cavity, the filter core assembly 200 is arranged above the water storage tray, and the water storage tray provides a support base for the filter core assembly 200. Since the water storage tray needs to bear the filter core assembly 200, the connection between the water storage tray and the cavity wall of the accommodation cavity needs to have sufficient strength. The water storage tray has a water storage groove 131, and the filter core 210 has a submerged part, that is, the excessive water on the filter core 210 drips downward through the submerged part. By arranging the submerged part in the water storage groove, the water on the filter core 210 will be collected in the water storage groove, thereby avoiding water dripping into the internal part of the humidifier host 100. In addition, in order to enable the air blown by the fan assembly 140 to blow toward the filter core 210, the water storage tray also has a grating part, which is arranged around the outer circumferential side of the water storage groove, so that the air blown by the fan assembly 140 blows toward the filter core 210 through the grating part, so that the air passes through the wet filter core 210 to achieve the purpose of humidifying the air.

[0069] When it is necessary to clean the water in the water storage groove 131, one cleaning method is to first remove the filter core assembly 200, and then tilt the entire humidifier host 100 to pour out the water in the water storage groove 131. However, the water in the water storage groove 131 will pass through the grating part 122 when being poured out, and the water can enter the internal part of the humidifier host 100 along the grating part 122. Another way to clean the water storage groove 131 is to disassemble the water storage tray from the accommodation cavity and then clean the water storage groove 131. However, the water storage tray needs to be disassembled from the accommodation cavity, which is inconvenient to disassemble, and there is a problem that the water in the water storage groove 131 may spill into the internal part of the humidifier host 100 during the disassembly process.

[0070] Based on the above problems, in the embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 2 to 5As shown, the humidifier main machine 100 comprises an air outlet grille 120 and a water storage part 130, the air outlet grille 120 is arranged in the accommodating cavity and connected with the cavity wall of the accommodating cavity, and the air outlet grille 120 is located above the fan assembly 140. The air outlet grille 120 has a mounting position 121, and the water storage part 130 is configured to be detachably arranged on the mounting position 121. The water storage part 130 has a water storage groove 131, and the submerged part of the filter element 210 is arranged in the water storage groove 131, that is, the air outlet grille 120 and the water storage part 130 are arranged as two independent structures, and the water storage part 130 is detachably arranged on the mounting position 121 of the air outlet grille 120. In this way, when it is necessary to clean the accumulated water in the water storage groove 131 of the water storage part 130, the water storage part 130 only needs to be detached from the air outlet grille 120, and the water storage part 130 can be taken out as a whole to clean the accumulated water in the water storage groove 131 and to clean the water storage groove 131, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the accumulated water in the water storage groove 131, and avoiding the problem that water easily enters the inside of the humidifier main machine 100 when the accumulated water in the water storage groove 131 is cleaned, thereby improving the overall safety and reliability of the humidifier 10 and the user's experience.

[0071] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the mounting position 121 has a first connecting structure 1211, and the water storage part 130 has a second connecting structure (not shown in the figure). The water storage part 130 is configured to be detachably linked with the first connecting structure 1211 through the second connecting structure, which can improve the installation reliability of the water storage part 130 when it is installed on the mounting position 121, so as to avoid the movement of the water storage part 130 relative to the air outlet grille 120.

[0072] It should be noted that the first connecting structure 1211 and the second connecting structure can be easily detached, or they are only structures for limiting the water storage part 130 to prevent the water storage part 130 from moving when it is installed on the mounting position 121, so as to facilitate the structure of the water storage part 130 to be taken out.

[0073] For example, referring to Figure 4 As shown, the first connecting structure 1211 comprises one of a mounting groove and a mounting boss 1311, and the second connecting structure comprises the other one of the mounting groove and the mounting boss 1311, for example, in Figure 4In the specific embodiment, the first connecting structure 1211 is a mounting boss 1311, and the second connecting structure is a mounting groove. The mounting boss 1311 is configured to be mounted in the mounting groove. When the water storage member 130 is mounted on the mounting position 121, the water storage member 130 can be limited and fixed in the circumferential direction by only inserting the mounting boss 1311 into the mounting groove. When the water storage member 130 needs to be dismounted, the water storage member 130 can be dismounted from the mounting position 121 by only providing an upward moving force to the water storage member 130. The dismounting method is simple and easy to operate.

[0074] It can be understood that, when the first connecting structure 1211 is the mounting boss 1311 and the second connecting structure is the mounting groove, the water storage member 130 can be prevented from moving in the mounting position 121 when the water storage member 130 is mounted on the mounting position 121. Thus, the problem that the water in the water storage groove 131 of the water storage member 130 is spilled due to shaking can be avoided. Therefore, the safety and reliability of the humidifier 10 are improved.

[0075] In the specific embodiment, the mounting boss 1311 can have a circular, elliptical or polygonal cross section, and the cross section shape of the mounting groove matches the cross section shape of the mounting boss 1311.

[0076] In another example, the first connecting structure 1211 includes a first magnetic member, and the second connecting structure includes a second magnetic member. The first magnetic member and the second magnetic member are magnetically attracted to each other. The reliability of mounting the water storage member 130 on the mounting position 121 can be improved so that the water storage member 130 is fixed relative to the air outlet grille 120. When dismounting, only the magnetic attraction force between the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member needs to be overcome. The mounting and dismounting are simple and easy to implement.

[0077] It can be understood that, when the first connecting structure 1211 and the second connecting structure are magnetically attracted, the stability of the water storage member 130 mounted in the mounting position 121 can be improved.

[0078] In an example, the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member can both be magnets. Alternatively, one of the first magnetic member and the second magnetic member is a magnet, and the other is a soft magnetic body. In this way, the structure for fixing the water storage member 130 is simple and has low cost.

[0079] The soft magnetic body refers to a material that is easily magnetized under the action of an external magnetic field and can be magnetically attracted to a magnet. The material of the soft magnetic body may, for example, include silicon steel, iron-nickel alloy (such as permalloy), ferrite, etc.

[0080] In another example, the first connecting structure 1211 includes one of a clamping groove and a clamping buckle, and the second connecting structure includes the other of the clamping groove and the clamping buckle. The clamping buckle is configured to be clamped with the clamping groove. In this way, when the water storage member 130 is mounted on the mounting position 121, the water storage member 130 can be positioned and fixed with the air outlet grille 120 by clamping. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0081] To further improve the positioning accuracy and stability of the water storage element 130 installed on the installation site 121, please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the installation site 121 has a first positioning structure 123, and the water storage element 130 has a second positioning structure 132 matched with the first positioning structure 123. The first positioning structure 123 is configured to cooperate with the second positioning structure 132. Through the cooperation of the first positioning structure 123 and the second positioning structure 132, the positioning of the water storage element 130 in the circumferential direction in the installation site 121 can be improved. The stability and reliability of the water storage element 130 installed in the installation site 121 are improved.

[0082] For example, the first positioning structure 123 is one of a positioning protrusion and a positioning groove, and the second positioning structure 132 is the other of the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove. The positioning structure is simple, easy to implement, and low in cost. For example, in Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the first positioning structure 123 is a positioning protrusion, the second positioning structure 132 is a positioning groove matched with the positioning protrusion, the first connecting structure 1211 is a mounting boss 1311, and the second connecting structure is a mounting groove. In this way, when the water storage element 130 is installed on the installation site 121, the first positioning structure 123 cooperates with the second positioning structure 132, and the first connecting structure 1211 and the second connecting structure cooperate with each other to limit the movement of the water storage element 130 in each direction, thereby improving the stability of the water storage element 130 on the installation site 121.

[0083] Among them, the positioning boss can be circular, elliptical or polygonal in cross-section, and the cross-section of the positioning groove matches the cross-sectional shape of the positioning boss.

[0084] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , the outer circumferential side of the installation site 121 has a limiting structure 1212. When the water storage element 130 is installed on the installation site 121, the limiting structure 1212 is located on the outer circumferential side of the water storage element 130. When the water storage element 130 is installed on the installation site 121, the circumferential movement of the water storage element 130 can be further limited to improve the reliability of the water storage element 130 installed on the installation site 121.

[0085] Of course, the limiting structure 1212 surrounds a receiving groove formed to match the outer contour of the water storage member 130, and the receiving groove is formed as the mounting position 121. Thus, when the water storage member 130 is mounted on the mounting position 121, the limiting structure 1212 can guide the water storage member 130 when the water storage member 130 is mounted on the mounting position 121, in addition to limiting the four sides of the water storage member 130, thereby improving the accuracy of the mounting position 121 when the water storage member 130 is mounted.

[0086] As shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the air outlet grille 120 further has a grille portion 122 surrounding the outer circumferential side of the limiting structure 1212. The air blown by the humidifier main machine 100 can be blown to the filter element 210 in the circumferential direction through the grille portion 122, thereby increasing the air outlet area of the air outlet grille 120 and improving the humidification efficiency.

[0087] In order to facilitate user operation when disassembling the water storage member 130, in the present application, the water storage member 130 has a holding portion (not shown in the figure) configured to be held by the user. Thus, when disassembling the water storage member 130, the user can hold the holding portion to facilitate the comfort of user operation when disassembling the water storage member 130, thereby improving the user experience.

[0088] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the humidifier 10 further includes a floating member 150 arranged in the water storage tank 131. The floating member 150 includes but is not limited to a floating bottle or a floating block, and the floating member 150 can float up and down with the change of the water level in the water storage tank 131. In addition, the water tank 300 has a drain valve 160 in the drain hole, and the drain valve 160 is connected with the floating member 150. When the floating member 150 floats up and down with the change of the water level in the water storage tank 131, the drain valve 160 is configured to open or close the drain hole, so that the water in the water tank 300 drops and flows to the filter element 210 to wet the filter element 210.

[0089] For example, when the water level in the water storage tank 131 rises to a certain height, the floating member 150 drives the drain valve 160 to move, so that the drain valve 160 closes the drain hole to prevent the drain hole from continuing to drain water and causing the water storage tank 131 to overflow. When the water level in the water storage tank 131 drops to a certain height, the floating member 150 drives the drain valve 160 to move, so that the drain valve 160 opens the drain hole.

[0090] Exemplarily, the drain valve 160 comprises a valve rod, a sealing member and a connecting rod, the valve rod is arranged in the drain hole, the sealing member is sleeved on the top end of the valve body, and the connecting rod is connected between the valve rod and the floating member 150, that is, one end of the connecting rod is connected with the valve rod, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected with the floating member 150, the side wall of the connecting rod rotates relative to the fixed axis, so that the two ends of the connecting rod rotate around the fixed axis, and the movement directions of the two ends of the connecting rod are opposite, for example, when the floating member 150 floats upward, the floating member 150 drives the valve rod to move downward through the connecting rod, when the water level in the water storage tank 131 rises to a certain height, the sealing member seals the drain hole; when the water level in the water storage tank 131 falls, the floating member 150 drives the valve rod to move upward through the connecting rod, so that the sealing member gradually moves away from the drain hole, and when the water level in the water storage tank 131 falls to a certain height, the sealing member unseals the drain hole, so as to open the drain hole.

[0091] In some embodiments, the floating member 150 is a floating block, in order to prevent the floating block from moving randomly in the water storage tank 131 along the water outlet groove, a mounting boss 1311 can be arranged in the water storage tank 131, the mounting boss 1311 is provided with a pivoting portion 1312, the pivoting portion 1312 defines a fixed axis, exemplarily, the pivoting portion 1312 is provided with a pivoting hole, the floating member 150 is provided with a connecting portion 151, the connecting portion 151 is provided with a rotating shaft 152, the rotating shaft 152 is pivoted with the pivoting hole of the pivoting portion 1312, when the floating member 150 floats up and down in the water storage tank 131, the floating member 150 rotates relative to the pivoting portion 1312 around the fixed axis, the position of the floating member 150 in the water storage tank 131 can be limited, so as to prevent the floating member 150 from moving randomly in the water storage tank 131, thereby improving the reliability of the floating member 150 when floating up and down, and further improving the reliability of the floating member 150 in driving the drain valve 160 to move, so that the drain valve 160 can be accurately opened or closed according to the change of the water level in the water storage tank 131.

[0092] In conclusion, the humidifier provided by the embodiments of the present application separately designs the air outlet grille and the water storage member, and the water storage member can be detachably arranged on the mounting position of the air outlet grille, so that when it is necessary to clean the accumulated water in the water storage tank of the water storage member, the water storage member can be taken out as a whole by being detached from the air outlet grille, so as to clean the accumulated water in the water storage tank and clean the water storage tank, thereby reducing the difficulty of cleaning the accumulated water in the water storage tank, avoiding the problem that water is easy to enter the internal part of the humidifier main machine when cleaning the accumulated water in the water storage tank, and further improving the overall safety and reliability of the humidifier and the user experience.
