[0038] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0039] In related technologies, the humidifier's outer casing is poorly assembled, making it inconvenient to disassemble and assemble the outer casing components, thus increasing the difficulty of maintaining and servicing the humidifier.

[0040] To solve the above problems, refer to Figures 1 to 3 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a humidifier 100, which includes a first housing 110, a second housing 120, a water tank assembly 130, and a fan assembly 140.

[0041] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the second housing 120 is detachably connected to the first housing 110 and defines an accommodating space 150, with a first opening 121 at the end of the second housing 120 away from the first housing 110. A water tank assembly 130 closes the first opening 121 and is at least partially disposed within the accommodating space 150. The water tank assembly 130 is detachably connected to the end of the second housing 120 away from the first housing 110. A fan assembly 140 is disposed within the accommodating space 150, opposite to the water tank assembly 130. The fan assembly 140 is detachably connected to the end of the second housing 120 away from the first opening 121 and is also detachably connected to the first housing 110, so that the fan assembly 140, the second housing 120, and the first housing 110 together form a snap-fit ​​structure. Correspondingly, the first housing 110 can be locked in place by a limiting groove. The fan assembly 140 is positioned and assembled through the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, thereby improving the assembly stability of the fan assembly 140. The fan assembly 140 is used to atomize the water in the water tank assembly 130. The fan assembly 140 is disassembled through the position of the limiting groove, which facilitates the sequential disassembly of the first housing 110, the second housing 120 and the water tank assembly 130, thereby achieving the purpose of disassembling the humidifier 100 and making it convenient to inspect, replace and maintain the internal components of the humidifier 100 as needed.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first housing 110, the second housing 120, and part of the water tank assembly 130 of the humidifier 100 together constitute the outer shell structure of the humidifier 100, thereby realizing the assembly and positioning of the internal components of the humidifier 100, reducing the shaking or instability of the internal components of the humidifier 100, and thus improving the user experience.

[0043] Exemplary, for reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the four corners of the first housing 110 are bolted to the second housing 120 through the fixing part 113, which improves the stability of the assembly connection between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0044] It should be noted that, as Figure 3 As shown, the humidifier 100 has a first direction X. For example, the first direction X is defined as the height direction of the humidifier 100, where the height direction of the second housing 120 is also the first direction X. It is understood that the above definitions are only for ease of understanding the relative positional relationships of the various parts in the humidifier 100 and should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0045] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figures 4 to 6As shown, the second housing 120 is provided with a first fastener 122, the first housing 110 is provided with a first slot 111 and a second fastener 112, and the fan assembly 140 is provided with a second slot 1411. The second fastener 112 is inserted into the second slot 1411, and the first fastener 122 is inserted into the first slot 111. Correspondingly, the first fastener 122 is assembled and positioned in the first slot 111, and the second fastener 112 is assembled and positioned in the second slot 1411, so as to realize the limiting connection of the second housing 120, the first housing 110 and the fan assembly 140 and form a fastening structure, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the second housing 120, the first housing 110 and the fan assembly 140, and further improve the disassembly and assembly efficiency.

[0046] For example, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the fan assembly 140 includes a fan housing 141 and a fan component 142. A second slot 1411 is disposed in the fan housing 141, and the fan component 142 is installed inside the fan housing 141. The fan housing 141 protects the fan component 142, and the fan housing 141 can form an air duct to convert the water in the water tank assembly 130 into water vapor and release it into the air.

[0047] In this application, the first housing 110 is provided with a second opening 114 at the end away from the second housing 120, the fan assembly 140 closes the second opening 114, and the air outlet grille of the fan assembly 140 is installed at the position of the second opening 114 so that water vapor can be output through the air outlet grille.

[0048] Optionally, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the second latching member 112 is connected to the side wall of the first slot 111, and the second latching member 112 extends toward the height direction of the second housing 120. In other words, the second latching member 112 is disposed on the side wall of the first slot 111, and the second latching member 112 extends along the height direction of the humidifier 100, so as to facilitate the assembly and limiting of the second slot 1411 of the fan assembly 140 by means of the second latching member 112 on the side wall of the first slot 111. For example, the second slot 1411 is provided with a second limiting hole, and the second latching member 112 passes through the second limiting hole.

[0049] Optionally, such as Figure 8As shown, a third fastener 115 is also provided on the first housing 110 near the first slot 111. The third fastener 115 is provided corresponding to the opening of the first slot 111. The first fastener 122 passes through the first slot 111 and abuts against the third fastener 115. For example, the first slot 111 forms a first limiting hole, the first fastener 122 passes through the first limiting hole, and the first fastener 122 abuts against the third fastener 115 to ensure that the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are assembled and positioned more accurately, to prevent gaps between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, to ensure the aesthetic appearance of the humidifier 100's outer shell, and to improve the user experience.

[0050] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 form a square structure. At least two sides of the first housing 110 are provided with a plurality of first slots 111. Each first slot 111 corresponds to a first fastener 122. Accordingly, the first slots 111 on at least two sides of the first housing 110 can be movably engaged with the corresponding first fasteners 122 of the second housing 120 to achieve a more stable assembly between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 and reduce the shaking that occurs when the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are connected.

[0051] For example, the first housing 110 with a square structure is provided with a first slot 111 on each of its four sides, and the second housing 120 with a square structure is provided with a first fastener 122 on each of its four sides. The number of first slots 111 on any of the four sides is equal, so as to facilitate the assembly of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. This reduces the need for users to identify the corresponding assembly position on the first housing 110, has a foolproof design, simplifies the operation steps, makes the operation more intuitive and simple, and further improves the user experience.

[0052] Further, refer to Figure 4As shown, the side of the first housing 110 is provided with a plurality of first slots 111. The side length of the first housing 110 is L. There is a distance D1 between two adjacent first slots 111 on the side, which satisfies: 0.2L≤D1≤0.4L. That is, the distance D1 between two adjacent first slots 111 is greater than or equal to the corresponding side length of the first housing 110, which is 0.2L. This ensures that there is a certain distance between two adjacent first slots 111, reducing the number of first slots 111 and thus reducing the production cost and structural complexity of the humidifier 100. In addition, the distance D1 between two adjacent first slots 111 is less than or equal to the corresponding side length of the first housing 110, which is 0.4L. This avoids the distance between two adjacent first slots 111 being too large, preventing the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 from being too large during assembly, which would affect the aesthetics of the humidifier 100's outer shell. As an example, the length of one side of the first housing 110 is 300mm, and the distance between two adjacent first slots 111 can be 60mm, 70mm or 80mm. When the distance between two first slots 111 is 100mm, the number of first slots 111 can be set according to the length of one side of the first housing 110. In addition, the distance between two adjacent first slots 111 can also be 110mm or 120mm, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the humidifier 100 also includes a protective member 160, which is detachably connected to one end of the second housing 120. The protective member 160 divides the accommodating space 150 into a first chamber and a second chamber. The fan assembly 140 is disposed in the first chamber, and the water tank assembly 130 is disposed in the second chamber. Correspondingly, the protective member 160 can be installed on the second housing 120 and can also be removed from the second housing 120. The protective member 160 is located between the fan assembly 140 and the water tank assembly 130, and the protective member 160 provides protection for the fan assembly 140.

[0054] Furthermore, such as Figure 10 As shown, the protective member 160 has a handle 161 on the side opposite to the fan assembly 140. The handle 161 facilitates gripping the protective member 160, allowing for easy removal and installation from the second housing 120, and subsequent disassembly and cleaning of the fan component 142 of the fan assembly 140. For example, the protective member 160 is a grid-structured protective net. This grid-structured protective net does not affect the normal operation of the fan assembly 140 within the humidifier 100, and the protective net connects the first chamber and the second chamber.

[0055] In one embodiment, alternatively, referencing Figure 3As shown, the water tank assembly 130 includes a water tank 131 and a humidifying net 132. The humidifying net 132 is disposed between the water tank 131 and the fan assembly 140. The humidifying net 132 is connected to the water tank 131. The water tank 131 is used to store water, and the humidifying net 132 can promote water evaporation to form water vapor.

[0056] Optionally, refer to Figure 9 As shown, the humidifier 100 further includes an air inlet 124. The second housing 120 has a third opening 123, the opening direction of which is perpendicular to the opening direction of the first opening 121. The air inlet 124 is detachably connected to the second housing 120, meaning the opening direction of the third opening 123 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the first opening 121. The air inlet 124 is installed in the third opening 123 and can be detached from the second housing 120. Furthermore, the air inlet 124 and the second housing 120 form a snap-fit ​​structure. The air inlet 124 is an air inlet grille, with a dustproof net on the side of the air inlet grille closest to the second housing 120. The air inlet 124 is used to fix and install the dustproof net. When the dustproof net needs cleaning, the air inlet 124 can be disassembled to remove the dustproof net.

[0057] For example, the second housing 120 has a third opening 123 on multiple sides, and one air inlet 124 corresponds to one third opening 123. The multiple air inlets 124 have the same structure, which reduces the need for users to identify multiple air inlets 124, makes the air inlet 124 have a foolproof design, simplifies the operation steps, and makes the disassembly and installation of the air inlet 124 simpler.

[0058] In summary, the first housing 110, the second housing 120, and part of the water tank assembly 130 of the humidifier 100 together constitute the outer shell structure of the humidifier 100. The first housing 110 can be locked in place by a limiting groove. The fan assembly 140 is positioned and assembled through the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, thereby improving the assembly stability of the fan assembly 140. The fan assembly 140 is used to atomize the water in the water tank assembly 130. The fan assembly 140 can be disassembled through the position of the limiting groove, which facilitates the sequential disassembly of the first housing 110, the second housing 120, and the water tank assembly 130, achieving the purpose of disassembling the humidifier 100. This makes it convenient to inspect, replace, and maintain the internal components of the humidifier 100 as needed, and has high convenience.

[0059] In all examples shown and described herein, any specific values ​​should be interpreted as merely exemplary and not as limitations; therefore, other examples of exemplary embodiments may have different values.

[0060] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
