[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of humidifiers, and particularly relates to a humidifier. BACKGROUND

[0002] As a common household appliance, a humidifier can effectively adjust indoor air humidity and improve living environment, and has been widely applied to homes, offices and other places. A traditional humidifier usually comprises a water tank, an atomization device and a fan and the like. Its working principle is that the water in the water tank is atomized into small water droplets by the atomization device, and then the atomized water is blown out by the fan, so as to achieve the purpose of humidifying air. However, the water inlet of the traditional humidifier is usually directly communicated with the water tank. During the atomization process, the atomized water will overflow from the water inlet, forming a mist leakage phenomenon, which affects the normal use of the humidifier and the user experience. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0003] In order to solve the problem that the atomized water will overflow from the water inlet in the prior art, the application provides a humidifier.

[0004] The application is implemented by the following technical scheme:

[0005] A humidifier comprises a shell body, a water storage space, a filtering mechanism, a floating mechanism and an atomization space which are sequentially and communicatively arranged in the shell body from top to bottom, a water inlet which is arranged on the shell body and is communicated with the water storage space, the floating mechanism is configured to allow liquid to flow from the water inlet to the atomization space and to restrict atomized water from flowing from the atomization space to the water inlet, and the floating mechanism comprises a floating groove which is communicated with the filtering mechanism and is provided with an opening at the bottom, and a floating member which is arranged in the floating groove and has a density smaller than that of water.

[0006] The humidifier described above, wherein the diameter of the floating member is L, and the diameter of the opening is S, and L>S.

[0007] The humidifier described above, wherein a plurality of guide pieces are arranged in the floating groove, the plurality of guide pieces are distributed in the circumferential direction of the floating groove, and the guide pieces are configured to allow the floating member to be located directly above the opening when the floating member abuts against the opening.

[0008] The humidifier described above, wherein a chamfer is arranged on the guide piece and is inclined towards the inner wall of the floating groove.

[0009] The humidifier described above, wherein the filtering mechanism comprises a filtering groove which is communicated with the water storage space, a sieve hole base which is arranged in the filtering groove, and a sieve hole upper cover which is detachably connected with the sieve hole base, and the sieve hole base and the sieve hole upper cover are provided with filtering materials.

[0023] In order to make the technical problems and beneficial effects of the technical solutions of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and not to limit the present application.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A humidifier, comprising a housing body 1, a water storage space 11, a filtering mechanism 12, a floating mechanism 13 and an atomization space 14 are sequentially communicated from top to bottom in the housing body 1, a water inlet 111 is arranged on the housing body 1 and communicates with the water storage space 11, the floating mechanism 13 is used for allowing liquid to flow from the water inlet 111 to the atomization space 14 and limiting atomized water from flowing from the atomization space 14 to the water inlet 111, the floating mechanism 13 comprises a floating groove 131 which is in communication with the filtering mechanism 12 and is provided with an opening 1311 at the bottom, and a floating piece 132 which is arranged in the floating groove 131 and has a density less than that of water.

[0025] The humidifier of the present application utilizes the floating characteristics of the floating mechanism, when water is added, the floating piece is far away from the opening by the buoyancy of water when liquid flows downward through the filtering mechanism from the water storage space, so that the liquid can flow smoothly into the atomization space, after the addition of water is stopped, the buoyancy disappears, and the floating piece fills the opening under the action of its own gravity, thereby limiting the atomized water from flowing reversely from the atomization space to the water inlet, thus solving the problem of the leakage of atomized water from the water inlet in the traditional humidifier, and ensuring that the humidifier can continuously and stably perform atomization humidification work, thereby improving the user experience.

[0026] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present application but not limited, the diameter of the floating piece 132 is L, and the diameter of the opening 1311 is S, wherein L>S.

[0027] In the embodiment, the floating piece can be made of wood, polyethylene, polypropylene or the like, when the humidifier is working, the floating piece 132 can completely cover the opening 1311 by its own weight under the condition of no water and no buoyancy, thereby effectively preventing the atomized water in the atomization space 14 from flowing reversely to the water inlet 111 through the opening 1311, and completely solving the common leakage problem of the traditional humidifier.

[0028] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present application but not limited, a plurality of guide pieces 1312 are arranged in the floating groove 131, the plurality of guide pieces 1312 are distributed circumferentially along the floating groove 131, and the guide pieces 1312 are arranged above the opening 1311 when the floating piece 132 abuts against the opening 1311.

[0029] In this embodiment, the floating member 132 can be accurately aligned and abutted with the opening 1311 during the descending process of losing buoyancy, so that it is always above the opening 1311. The sealing effect of the floating member 132 on the opening 1311 is improved, and the leakage phenomenon caused by the deviation of the floating member 132 is avoided through accurate positioning, thereby enhancing the reliability and use experience of the humidifier.

[0030] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the guide piece 1312 is provided with a chamfer 13121 inclined towards the inner wall of the floating groove 131 on the side away from the opening 1311.

[0031] In this embodiment, after the floating member 132 rises a certain distance by buoyancy, the inclined surface of the chamfer 13121 can provide more space for the floating member 132, so that the liquid can enter the atomization space more quickly, and the flow rate is improved.

[0032] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the filter mechanism 12 includes a filter groove 121 in communication with the water storage space 11, a sieve base 122 provided in the filter groove 121, and a sieve upper cover 123 detachably connected with the sieve base 122, and the sieve base 122 and the sieve upper cover 123 are provided with filter materials.

[0033] In this embodiment, the filtering performance of the humidifier is improved, and the filter materials in the sieve base 122 and the sieve upper cover 123 can effectively remove impurities and particulate matters in the water, so as to ensure the water quality entering the atomization space 14, thereby prolonging the service life of the atomization device and improving the atomization effect. Secondly, the detachable connection design makes the replacement and maintenance of the filter materials extremely convenient, and the user can clean or replace the filter materials without disassembling the entire humidifier, which greatly reduces the maintenance cost and difficulty. In addition, this modular design also provides greater flexibility for the selection of filter materials, and users can select different types and precision of filter materials according to actual needs to adapt to different water sources and use environments.

[0034] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the bottom areas of the water storage space 11, the filter mechanism 12, and the floating mechanism 13 are sequentially reduced.

[0035] In this embodiment, the path and speed of the water flow are optimized, so that the water can be evenly distributed when flowing from the water storage space 11 to the filtering mechanism 12, improving the filtering efficiency, while reducing the impact of the water flow on the filtering material, prolonging its service life. Secondly, the further reduction of the bottom area of the floating mechanism 13 helps to improve its sealing effect on the opening 1311. Because the cross-sectional area of the floating groove 131 is small, when the floating piece 132 rises and covers the opening 1311, it can be tightly fitted, reducing the occurrence of mist leakage.

[0036] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the floating piece 132 is made of foamed PP material.

[0037] In this embodiment, foamed PP is a lightweight material with good buoyancy, its density is much smaller than water, which can ensure that the floating piece 132 always maintains a floating state in the floating groove 131, effectively covers the opening 1311 to prevent mist leakage. In addition, foamed PP also has excellent chemical stability and durability, which can resist the erosion of chemicals and microorganisms in water, and is not easy to deform or age, thereby prolonging the service life of the floating piece 132.

[0038] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the filtering groove 121 is provided with a groove 1211 extending downward to the side surface of the sieve base 122 at the edge.

[0039] In this embodiment, the installation and disassembly of the sieve base 122 are facilitated, and the user only needs to align the sieve base 122 with the groove 1211 and press gently to complete the installation, without the need for additional fixing tools or complex operation steps.

[0040] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the top of the shell body 1 is provided with a flow guide platform 15 inclined to the water inlet 111.

[0041] In this embodiment, the flow guide platform 15 can guide the water added from above to flow smoothly to the water inlet 111, reducing the retention and splashing of water on the top of the shell body 1, thereby improving the convenience and cleanliness of water addition.

[0042] Further, as a preferred embodiment of the present scheme but not limited, the floating piece 132 is spherical.

[0043] In this embodiment, the spherical floating member 132 moves more smoothly and stably in the floating groove 131, and the symmetrical shape reduces the friction and collision between the floating member 132 and the guide piece 1312, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the alignment of the floating member 132 with the opening 1311. Secondly, the spherical design also helps to uniformly distribute the impact force of the water flow on the floating member 132, so that it is not easy to tilt or deviate during the floating process, further enhancing the sealing effect on the opening 1311, effectively preventing the occurrence of the mist leakage phenomenon.

[0044] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0045] The humidifier of the present application utilizes the floating characteristics of the floating mechanism. When water is added, the liquid flows downward from the water storage space through the filter mechanism, and the floating member is far away from the opening with the help of the buoyancy of water, allowing the liquid to flow smoothly into the atomization space. After stopping adding water, the buoyancy disappears, and the floating member fills the opening under the action of its own gravity, limiting the reverse flow of atomized water from the atomization space through the water inlet, thereby solving the problem of the leakage of atomized water from the water inlet in traditional humidifiers. The present application ensures that the humidifier can continuously and stably perform atomization humidification work, and improves the user's experience.

[0046] The above is an embodiment provided in combination with specific content, and it is not intended to limit the specific implementation of the present application to these descriptions. Any similar structure or method as the present application, or any technical deduction or replacement made on the basis of the concept of the present application, should be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
