[0033] In the prior art, humidifiers are common household appliances mainly used to increase indoor air humidity to improve the comfort of living environment. In order to achieve the humidification effect, humidifiers usually use atomization technology to convert water or other liquids into small water droplets or aerosols, which are then blown into the air by a fan. Although this process can effectively increase indoor humidity, it also brings some problems, especially in terms of the cleanliness of atomized gas. The atomized gas blown out by existing humidifiers often contains dust, bacteria and other particulate matter in the air, which not only reduces the purity of the atomized gas, but also may have adverse effects on human health, especially for people with sensitive respiratory systems. In addition, some low-quality humidifiers fail to adequately filter the water source during the manufacturing process, resulting in minerals and other impurities that may be present in the water being sprayed into the air as well, further reducing the cleanliness of the atomized gas.

[0034] Therefore, how to improve the cleanliness of the atomized gas blown out by the humidifier has become a problem to be solved.

[0035] Please refer to Figs. 1-3 The present embodiment provides a humidifier 100 which can effectively improve the above-mentioned technical problems and improve the cleanliness of the atomized gas blown out by the humidifier 100.

[0036] The humidifier 100 includes a water tank 10, a base 20, a mist guide pipe 30 and a guide device 40. The base 20 and the water tank 10 are detachably connected. The base 20 has an atomization chamber 201. The water inlet of the atomization chamber 201 is in communication with the water tank 10. The mist guide pipe 30 is installed in the water tank 10. The inlet of the mist guide pipe 30 is in communication with the atomization chamber 201. The outlet of the mist guide pipe 30 is in communication with the top of the water tank 10. The mist in the atomization chamber 201 is discharged through the mist guide pipe 30. The guide device 40 is arranged at the water inlet of the atomization chamber 201 for communicating or blocking the atomization chamber 201 and the water tank 10.

[0037] In the present embodiment, the diameter of the mist guide pipe 30 gradually decreases from bottom to top. The mist guide pipe 30 is arranged in a vertical direction. The bottom end of the mist guide pipe 30 is the inlet, and the top end of the mist guide pipe 30 is the outlet. The diameter of the mist guide pipe 30 gradually decreases from bottom to top along the mist outlet direction, so that the mist flowing out of the atomization chamber 201 gradually flows from the area with large diameter to the area with small diameter, thereby increasing the flow rate of the mist, helping the liquid to be better broken into small droplets, and improving the atomization effect. In addition, it can also make the mist flow more smoothly, reduce energy loss and save energy.

[0038] Specifically, the mist guide pipe 30 comprises a first pipe section 31 and a second pipe section 32 which are in communication with each other, the first pipe section 31 is in communication with the atomizing cavity 201, the second pipe section 32 is in communication with the top of the water tank 10, the pipe diameter of the first pipe section 31 is larger than that of the second pipe section 32, and the first pipe section 31 and the second pipe section 32 are smoothly connected.

[0039] In the embodiment, the water tank 10 is a cylindrical hollow structure, and the water tank 10 can contain water to be atomized; the mist guide pipe 30 is arranged at the midpoint of the water tank 10, and the two ends of the mist guide pipe 30 respectively penetrate the top and the bottom of the water tank 10; the base 20 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 10 and detachably connected with the water tank 10. The base 20 is directly clamped with the water tank 10, and the base 20 is a cylindrical structure. The atomizing cavity 201 is in communication with the top of the base 20.

[0040] It should be noted that in the prior art, when the humidifier is used, the atomized gas often contains dust, bacteria and other particulate matters in the air. These impurities not only reduce the purity of the atomized gas, but also may have adverse effects on human health, especially for people sensitive to respiratory system. In order to solve this technical problem, the humidifier 100 provided in the embodiment comprises a mist guide pipe 30 and a flow guide device 40. The mist guide pipe 30 is directly in communication with the atomizing cavity 201, thereby separating the water tank 10 and the atomizing cavity 201. The water in the water tank 10 can only enter the atomizing cavity 201 through the water inlet. Only the water in the atomizing cavity 201 is heated when the humidifier 100 is working, thereby avoiding continuous heating of all the water in the water tank 10, keeping the water in the water tank 10 clean, and improving the cleanliness of the atomized gas. The flow guide device 40 comprises a valve core 41 and a switch member 42. The switch member 42 is connected with the valve core 41. The valve core 41 is arranged at the water inlet of the atomizing cavity 201. The switch member 42 is used to drive the valve core 41 to communicate or block the water inlet when the water level in the atomizing cavity 201 changes. When water is needed, the switch member 42 drives the valve core 41 to move away from the water inlet, thereby communicating the atomizing cavity 201 and the water tank 10. The water in the water tank 10 enters the atomizing cavity 201 through the water inlet, thereby adding water to the atomizing cavity 201. After the water is added, the switch member 42 drives the flow guide device 40 to block the water inlet, thereby separating the atomizing cavity 201 and the water tank 10. Only the water in the atomizing cavity 201 is heated and atomized, and then is discharged through the mist guide pipe 30 to achieve the humidifying effect.

[0041] In the embodiment, the humidifier 100 further comprises a filter element 80. The filter element 80 is arranged in the water tank 10 and is arranged at the water inlet position of the atomizing cavity 201. The filter element 80 is used to filter the water entering the atomizing cavity 201, thereby filtering out dust, bacteria or other particulate matters in the water. The filtered water enters the atomizing cavity 201 to be heated and atomized, thereby further ensuring the cleanliness of the atomized gas.

[0042] Specifically, the switch 42 comprises a lever 421, a floating ball 422 and an elastic member 423, the floating ball 422 is connected to one end of the lever 421, the floating ball 422 is used to float on the liquid surface, the elastic member 423 is connected with the valve core 41, the other end of the lever 421 is in a position corresponding to the position of the valve core 41, the lever 421 is used to lift the valve core 41 in the case that the floating ball 422 follows the liquid level to drop, thereby opening the water inlet of the atomization cavity 201; the lever 421 is used to separate from the valve core 41 in the case that the floating ball 422 follows the liquid level to rise, so that the valve core 41 drops under the elastic force of the elastic member 423, thereby blocking the water inlet of the atomization cavity 201.

[0043] Specifically, the end of the lever 421 away from the floating ball 422 is provided with a convex point, the convex point is arranged towards the direction close to the valve core 41, and the convex point can lift the valve core 41 in the case that the lever 421 moves.

[0044] In the embodiment, the elastic member 423 is a spring, and the spring is sleeved on the valve core 41.

[0045] It can be understood that the humidifier 100 further comprises a heating body 70, the heating body 70 is arranged on the base 20 and is used to heat the liquid in the atomization cavity 201. The heating body 70 can heat the liquid in the atomization cavity 201, so that the liquid is atomized to form fine mist droplets, and the heating body 70 can heat the liquid in the atomization cavity 201 to 100℃, so as to achieve the sterilization effect, thereby further improving the cleanliness of the atomized gas.

[0046] It also needs to be explained that the humidifier 100 further comprises a shell 50 and a fan 60, the shell 50 is sleeved on the water tank 10, the shell 50 and the water tank 10 have an air duct 501 therebetween, the shell 50 has a mist outlet 502, the outlet of the air duct 501, the mist outlet 502 and the mist guide pipe 30 are commonly communicated, and the fan 60 is arranged on the base 20 and communicates with the air duct 501, the fan 60 is used to blow air towards the air duct 501, so as to cool the hot mist discharged from the mist guide pipe 30. The position of the mist outlet 502 corresponds to the position of the outlet of the mist guide pipe 30, because the temperature of the atomized gas is too high, the atomized gas is prone to safety hazards after being directly discharged, the fan 60 blows air towards the air duct 501 before the atomized gas is discharged from the mist outlet 502, so as to cool the atomized gas, and the temperature of the mist discharged from the mist outlet 502 is more appropriate.

[0047] The humidifier 100 provided in the embodiment has at least the following advantages:

[0048] The guide mist pipe 30 of the humidifier 100 provided by the embodiment is arranged along a vertical direction, the bottom end of the guide mist pipe 30 is an inlet, the top end of the guide mist pipe 30 is an outlet, and the pipe diameter of the guide mist pipe 30 gradually decreases from bottom to top along the mist outlet direction, so that the mist flowing out of the atomization cavity 201 gradually flows from the area with a large pipe diameter to the area with a small pipe diameter, thereby increasing the flow rate of the mist, helping the liquid to be better broken into fine mist droplets, and thereby improving the atomization effect; and the guide mist pipe 30 can also make the mist flow more smoothly, reduce energy loss, and save energy.

[0049] The existing humidifier often mixes dust, bacteria and other particulate matters in the air in the atomized gas when in use, these impurities not only reduce the purity of the atomized gas, but also can have adverse effects on human health, especially for people sensitive to the respiratory system. In order to solve this technical problem, the humidifier 100 provided by the embodiment includes a guide mist pipe 30 and a guide passage 40, the guide mist pipe 30 directly communicates with the atomization cavity 201, thereby separating the water tank 10 and the atomization cavity 201, the water in the water tank 10 can only enter the atomization cavity 201 through the water inlet, and only the water in the atomization cavity 201 is heated when the humidifier 100 works, avoiding continuous heating of all the water in the water tank 10, so that the water in the water tank 10 remains clean, and the cleanliness of the atomized gas is improved; and the guide passage 40 includes a valve core 41 and a switch piece 42, the switch piece 42 is connected with the valve core 41, the valve core 41 is arranged at the water inlet of the atomization cavity 201, and the switch piece 42 is used to drive the valve core 41 to communicate or block the water inlet in the case of water level change in the atomization cavity 201; in the case of needing to add water, the switch piece 42 drives the valve core 41 to leave the water inlet, thereby communicating the atomization cavity 201 and the water tank 10, and the water in the water tank 10 enters the atomization cavity 201 through the water inlet, thereby adding water to the atomization cavity 201; after the water is added, the switch piece 42 drives the guide passage 40 to block the water inlet, thereby separating the atomization cavity 201 and the water tank 10, so that only the water in the atomization cavity 201 is heated and atomized, and then is discharged through the guide mist pipe 30 to realize the humidification effect.
