Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a humidifier for planting. Background Technology

[0002] In plant-based environments, plants are relatively dispersed, and traditional humidifiers mainly rely on natural diffusion or simple breeze-assisted diffusion. For example, in small ultrasonic humidifiers, the atomized water vapor mainly relies on its own buoyancy and weak air convection to drift upwards. In plant-based environments, this diffusion method can only rapidly increase the humidity in a small area around the humidifier. However, because the diffusion speed of water vapor in the air is relatively slow and is affected by indoor air flow and obstacles (such as flower pots and flower stands), water vapor is difficult to reach plant areas that are far from the humidifier.

[0022] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a humidifier for humidifying a plant growing environment. The humidifier includes a water storage housing 10, a humidification module 20 installed within the housing 10, a fan 30 installed within the housing 10, and an air outlet structure 40 installed on and connected to the housing 10. An air inlet channel 11 is provided on the housing 10 opposite to the air inlet of the fan 30. The air outlet structure 40 includes an air outlet pipe 41 installed on and connected to the housing 10, an axial flow fan 42 installed at the free end of the air outlet pipe 41, and an exhaust pipe 43 installed at the free end of the axial flow fan 42. In this embodiment, the humidification module 20 is an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0023] The working principle of this humidifier is as follows: When the fan 30 is working, it generates negative pressure inside the housing 10, causing outside air to be drawn into the housing 10 through the air inlet channel 11; the air entering the housing 10 mixes with the water mist or water vapor generated by the humidification module 20; the airflow generated by the rotation of the fan 30 causes the mixed water vapor to be fully mixed inside the housing 10 and flows towards the air outlet structure 40; the air outlet pipe 41, installed on and connected to the housing 10, is the channel for water vapor to be discharged; the air mixed with water vapor inside the housing 10 flows through the air outlet pipe 41. The axial flow fan 42 can be adjusted according to the size and humidity requirements of the planting environment. In large greenhouses and other planting environments, the axial flow fan 42 can operate at a higher speed to quickly deliver a large amount of humidified air to every corner. The exhaust duct 43 is installed at the free end of the axial flow fan 42 to deliver the humidified air to the last link in the planting environment. The outlet position and direction of the exhaust duct 43 can be adjusted according to the layout of the planting environment so that the humidified air can be evenly distributed around the plants.

[0024] Compared to existing technologies, the humidifier of this invention, through the cooperation of the air outlet duct 41, the axial flow fan 42, and the exhaust duct 43, can effectively deliver humidified air to a greater distance and different areas. The powerful axial flow fan 42 can widely distribute the humidified air in a larger planting environment, ensuring that the plants receive sufficient humidity and avoiding localized excessively high or low humidity. The design of the fan 30 and the air inlet duct 11 allows fresh outside air to enter the housing 10, mix with the water vapor generated by the humidification module 20, and then be discharged through the air outlet structure 40. This forms a complete air circulation system, providing fresh and appropriately humid air for the planting environment. Through the cooperation of the fan 30 and the air outlet structure 40, air with the required humidity can be precisely delivered to the area around the plants.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2The air outlet structure 40 also includes an external air supply pipe 44 installed on the air outlet pipe 41, which is connected to the air outlet pipe 41. The main function of the external air supply pipe 44 is to introduce additional air from the external environment. When the humidifier is working, the axial fan 42 generates negative pressure at one end of the exhaust pipe 43, causing air to be drawn from the external air supply pipe 44 into the air outlet pipe 41. This process is like injecting new air into the humidified airflow. For example, in a plant environment, the external air supply pipe 44 can introduce fresh outdoor air or air from other areas of the room. The introduced external air mixes with the humidified air flowing out of the housing 10 through the air outlet pipe 41 inside the air outlet pipe 41. Since the air inside the air outlet pipe 41 is flowing, the two types of air will quickly mix under the action of fluid dynamics, thus adjusting the humidity and composition of the air discharged from the axial fan 42. If the humidity of the introduced external air is low, the humidity of the mixed air will be reduced; conversely, if the humidity of the external air is high, the humidity of the mixed air will be increased.

[0026] The humidifier also includes a mounting bracket 21 disposed inside the housing 10, on which the humidification module 20 is mounted. The mounting bracket 21 provides a stable mounting platform for the humidification module 20 inside the housing 10; it keeps the humidification module 20 away from water accumulation at the bottom of the housing 10, preventing scale from affecting the atomization effect of the humidification module 20; the mounting bracket 21 can also bear the weight of the humidification module 20, preventing the humidification module 20 from shifting due to vibration, shaking or other factors during the operation of the humidifier; for example, when the fan 30 is running or the axial flow fan 42 is working, a certain degree of vibration will be generated, and the mounting bracket 21 can firmly fix the humidification module 20 inside the housing 10 to ensure its normal operation.

[0027] The humidification module 20 is equipped with a module water level detection element 22 for detecting the water level on the humidification module 20. The water level detection element ensures that the humidification module 20 operates at a suitable water level; for example, for an ultrasonic atomizer, the ultrasonic transducer can only atomize water normally when the water level reaches a certain height; if the water level is too low, the atomization effect will be poor, and it may even damage the transducer; the module water level detection element 22 can detect this situation in time and notify the control unit to add water, thereby ensuring that the atomizer can continue to work effectively.

[0028] The humidifier also includes a power supply 50 installed inside the housing 10 and a cover plate 60 installed inside the housing 10 opposite to the fan 30; the cover plate 60 is connected to the housing 10 to form a closed mounting cavity, the power supply 50 is installed inside the mounting cavity, and a cable outlet hole 61 for pulling the power supply 50 is provided on one side of the mounting cavity. The cover plate 60 is connected to the housing 10 to form a closed mounting cavity, in which the power supply 50 is installed, providing physical isolation. This prevents external moisture, dust, and other impurities from entering the power supply 50. In plant environments, where humidification is frequent and the surrounding air humidity is high, this isolation effectively prevents short circuits and other malfunctions caused by moisture intrusion into the power supply 50. It also blocks dust and small particles, preventing accumulation on the power supply 50 and affecting heat dissipation. The cable outlet 61 on one side of the mounting cavity, besides being used for cable routing, also contributes to heat dissipation. During operation, the power supply 50 generates heat, which is exchanged with the outside air through the cable outlet 61. This natural convection dissipates some of the heat, preventing damage from overheating.

[0029] The humidifier also includes an air guide plate 70 installed in the housing 10 on one side of the fan 30. The air guide plate 70 is connected to three sides of the housing 10, and an air outlet is provided between the air guide plate 70 and the cover plate 60. The air guide plate 70 is connected to three sides of the housing 10, forming a specific air channel inside the housing 10 on the side of the fan 30. When the fan 30 is working, it generates airflow, and the air guide plate 70 can guide the air blown out by the fan 30 to flow in a predetermined direction. For example, the air guide plate 70 can guide the air to the air outlet between the cover plate 60 and the air guide plate 70, so that the air flows out from this air outlet in a concentrated manner, avoiding the disorderly flow of air inside the housing 10, thereby improving the efficiency of airflow. The shape and angle of the air guide plate 70 can be designed as needed to change the airflow direction. If the airflow generated by the fan 30 is vertically upward, and we want the air to blow horizontally towards the air outlet, the air guide plate 70 can be set at a certain tilt angle, so that the airflow changes direction after reflection and finally flows to the air outlet. An air outlet is set between the air guide plate 70 and the cover plate 60. This position design allows the air coming out of the fan 30 to be guided by the air guide plate 70 and discharged from a relatively concentrated outlet.

[0030] The power supply 50 has heat dissipation channels 12 and heat dissipation mesh 13 installed on the casing 10 on both sides for heat dissipation. The existence of the heat dissipation channels 12 provides a path for the exhaust of hot air and the entry of cold air. During operation, the power supply 50 generates heat, which raises the temperature of the surrounding air. The heat dissipation channels 12 utilize this natural convection, allowing hot air to be exhausted from the top of the channel. For example, when the power supply 50 is hot, the hot air near the power supply 50 will flow upward through the heat dissipation channels 12, while the cold air below will enter from other openings in the channel, forming a natural air circulation. The shape of the heat dissipation channels 12 and their position on the casing 10 also affect the airflow. The heat dissipation mesh 13 is installed on the heat dissipation channels 12 and has many small mesh holes, which greatly increases the surface area for heat dissipation. When hot air passes through the heat dissipation channels 12, it will come into full contact with the heat dissipation mesh 13. Therefore, the heat dissipation mesh 13 can make the heat generated by the power supply 50 dissipate into the surrounding air more quickly, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0031] A water level detection assembly 80 is installed inside the housing 10. The water level detection assembly 80 includes a detection fixture 81 mounted on the side wall of the housing 10, a water level detection component mounted on the detection fixture 81, and a water level display component 83 mounted on the detection fixture 81 facing away from the water level detection component. The water level detection component is located inside the housing 10, and the water level display component 83 is located on the outer wall of the housing 10. The detection fixture 81 provides support and connection, tightly integrating the water level detection component and the water level display component 83. The user does not need to... The water level inside the tank 10 can be directly observed by opening the tank body 10. The water level display 83 is located on the outer wall of the tank body 10, so users can easily see the water level information whether they pass by during daily use or when performing regular inspections. The water level detection device is installed on the inner side wall of the tank body 10 and can directly contact the water body. Compared with some indirect water level estimation methods, it can measure the water level more accurately. Furthermore, due to the fixing effect of the detection fixture 81, the position of the water level detection device is relatively stable, reducing measurement errors caused by position movement.

[0032] The water level detection device inside the tank includes a connecting part 82 mounted on the detection fixture 81 and a float valve 84 mounted on the free end of the connecting part 82. The float valve 84 floats up and down with the rise and fall of the water level. This movement is quite intuitive, and users can easily understand its working principle. By observing the position of the float valve 84, they can roughly judge the water level. The combination of the float valve 84 and the connecting part 82 utilizes the principle of buoyancy for water level detection. Compared with some complex electronic sensors, it is less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, aging of electronic components, and other factors. As long as the mechanical structure of the float valve 84 itself is intact, it can accurately reflect changes in water level.

[0033] The humidifier also includes a water inlet on the housing 10 for adding water to the housing 10, and a sealing cap 15 installed on the water inlet. The sealing cap 15 is installed on the water inlet and can effectively prevent water from flowing out of the water inlet during normal operation or movement of the humidifier; for example, when the humidifier is placed at a certain tilt angle or is subjected to a slight impact, the sealing cap 15 can prevent water from overflowing from the housing 10; the sealing cap 15 can also act as a physical barrier to prevent dust, dirt, plant debris and other impurities from entering the housing 10.

[0034] The humidifier also includes a movable component 90 located at the bottom of the housing 10. The movable component 90 includes two directional casters 91 and two universal casters 92 located at the bottom of the housing 10. The combination of the universal casters 92 and the directional casters 91 provides the humidifier with excellent mobility; the universal casters 92 allow the humidifier to rotate freely in all directions, while the directional casters 91 ensure that the humidifier has a stable forward direction during pushing. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the humidifier to better cover plants in different areas, this combination allows the humidifier to be easily moved between greenhouse aisles and plant shelves, making it convenient for users to flexibly change the placement of the humidifier according to the layout of the plants and humidity requirements. By rotating the universal casters 92, the direction of the humidifier can be easily fine-tuned to ensure that the humidified air can be accurately delivered to the target area.

[0035] The above description merely illustrates the preferred technical solution of this utility model, and while the description is relatively specific and detailed, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. 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 this utility model also intends to include these modifications and variations.
