Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the humidifier field, and particularly to a water pump power supply waterproof structure and a humidifier. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of humidifier technology, the water pump as a key component, its performance and reliability are directly related to the use effect and safety of the humidifier. In the traditional technical scheme, in order to avoid the risk of water leakage caused by the direct connection of the water pump and the power supply, a wireless water pump design is generally used. The wireless water pump realizes power supply through non-contact energy transmission technology (such as electromagnetic induction), effectively isolates the direct contact of the power supply and the waterway, and greatly reduces the risk of water leakage. However, the significant disadvantage of this technical route is high cost, which not only increases the overall manufacturing cost of the humidifier, but also limits its popular application in the low-end market.
[0003] Relatively speaking, the wired water pump becomes the preferred solution in terms of cost control due to its low price. However, the wired design means that the power line needs to pass through or be adjacent to the water tank, which undoubtedly increases the risk of water leakage due to factors such as line aging and loose joints, not only affecting the normal operation of the humidifier, but also possibly causing damage to the use environment, and even causing safety hazards. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0027] Further, the mounting shell comprises a shell member having the mounting cavity and a first cover plate for closing the mounting cavity; and the water tank comprises a tank body having a water cavity and a second cover plate for closing the water cavity.
[0028] The first pole and the second pole are fixedly arranged in the mounting groove, and a through hole is formed in the mounting seat and communicates with the mounting groove. When the mounting groove contains water, the water inside the mounting groove can be discharged through the through hole, so that the short circuit between the first pole and the second pole caused by excessive water is prevented, and the waterproof function is realized.
