These drawings and detailed description are not intended to limit the scope of the concept of the present application in any way, but to illustrate the concept of the present application to a person skilled in the art by referring to specific embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0034] In the existing humidifier, the connection mode of the middle tube and the water tank generally tends to adopt a threaded connection or a buckle connection design. These designs aim to simplify the disassembly and assembly process of the middle tube and the water tank, so as to facilitate subsequent cleaning and maintenance. However, although these designs achieve the purpose of facilitating disassembly and assembly and cleaning to some extent, they still have some defects and limitations. Specifically, the threaded, buckled or other connection structure between the middle tube and the water tank is complex and hidden, making it difficult to reach during cleaning, thereby increasing the difficulty of cleaning. In addition, although the disassembly operation itself seems simple, it still needs to be screwed, buckled or other steps. These operations are not only tedious, but in some cases may cause inconvenience to the user's use experience, reducing the ease of use of the product.

[0035] To solve the above technical problems, the present embodiment provides a humidifier. Referring to Figures 1 to 3 as shown, Figure 1 is a top view of the humidifier in the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 is a sectional view of section A in Figure 1 , and Figure 3 is an exploded view of the magnetic attraction assembly and the middle tube in the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] The humidifier of the present embodiment comprises a water tank 1, a middle tube 2, a first magnetic attraction member 3 and a second magnetic attraction member 4.

[0037] The water tank 1 is used to contain water to be atomized, as Figure 2 shown, the bottom thereof is provided with a mist outlet hole 11 for outputting water mist, the inner side surface of the mist outlet hole 11 is a smooth curved surface and / or a smooth flat surface. For example, when the mist outlet hole 11 is a circular hole or a square hole, the inner side surface thereof is a smooth curved surface and / or a smooth flat surface, respectively.

[0038] The middle tube 2 is detachably arranged inside the water tank 1 for outputting water mist outside the water tank 1. As shown in the drawings, the middle tube 2 is provided with a plug-in tube 21 and a support portion 22 at the bottom, the support portion 22 is located at the upper end of the plug-in tube 21 and extends to the outside of the plug-in tube 21, that is, the lateral dimension of the support portion 22 is greater than that of the plug-in tube 21. The outer side surface of the plug-in tube 21 and the bottom surface of the support portion 22 are smooth planes or smooth curved surfaces, for example, the outer side surface of the plug-in tube 21 is adapted to the outer side surface of the mist outlet hole 11 and the size is slightly smaller than that of the mist outlet hole 11. Figure 2

[0039] The first magnetic attraction member 3 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1, and the second magnetic attraction member 4 is arranged inside the support portion 22. For example, the first magnetic attraction member 3 and the second magnetic attraction member 4 are magnetic metals or magnets that can be magnetically attracted to each other.

[0040] In the working state, the plug-in tube 21 is detachably plugged into the inside of the mist outlet hole 11, the support portion 22 is supported on the bottom of the water tank 1, the first magnetic attraction member 3 and the second magnetic attraction member 4 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the relative position of the middle tube 2 and the water tank 1 is fixed.

[0041] The humidifier of the above technical solution creatively combines magnetic attraction, plug-in and support methods between the middle tube 2 and the water tank 1, which improves the convenience of disassembly and cleaning of the connection. Specifically, in the working state, the plug-in tube 21 of the middle tube 2 is inserted into the inside of the mist outlet hole 11 to achieve stable lateral positioning; at the same time, the support portion 22 is supported on the bottom of the water tank 1, and the first magnetic attraction member 3 and the second magnetic attraction member 4 are attracted to each other to ensure firm fixation in the vertical direction, thereby ensuring the position stability of the middle tube 2 during use and ensuring normal working state. During installation, the user only needs to simply align and insert the plug-in tube 21 into the mist outlet hole 11, and during disassembly, only needs to overcome the magnetic attraction force and pull out in the opposite direction. Compared with the commonly used threaded or buckle connection method in traditional humidifiers, this design simplifies the disassembly steps and improves the operation efficiency. In addition, the inner side surface of the mist outlet hole 11 and the outer side surface of the plug-in tube 21 and the bottom surface of the support portion 22 are designed as smooth curved surfaces or smooth planes. This improvement not only optimizes the appearance, but more importantly, compared with the complex and difficult-to-clean threaded or buckle structure in traditional humidifiers, the cleaning of the connection of the above technical solution becomes easier and faster. In summary, the humidifier of the above technical solution has significantly improved the disassembly convenience and cleaning convenience of the connection compared with the prior art, thereby enhancing the market competitiveness of the product and providing users with a more comfortable use experience.

[0042] In the above embodiment in which the second magnetic attraction member 4 is arranged inside the support portion 22, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 ​As shown, the support part 22 is annular and surrounds the plug-in pipe 21, the bottom of the support part 22 is provided with a containing groove 201, the first magnetic member 3 is fixed in the containing groove 201, the bottom of the support part 22 is provided with a groove cover 202 covering the containing groove 201, the bottom surface of the groove cover 202 is smooth to facilitate cleaning and is in contact with the bottom of the water tank 1.

[0043] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the containing groove 201, the groove cover 202 and the first magnetic member 3 are annular and surround the plug-in pipe 21, so that the magnetic force is uniformly distributed and the stability is improved.

[0044] As shown in the drawings,

[0045] In one embodiment, the first magnetic member 3 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1, as shown in the drawings, Figure 2 The bottom of the water tank 1 is provided with an embedding groove 12, the second magnetic member 4 is plugged into the embedding groove 12; the humidifier further comprises a limiting seat 13 fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 1 by screws or glue, etc., covering the embedding groove 12 to prevent the magnetic member from falling off.

[0046] As shown in the drawings,

[0047] As shown in the drawings,

[0048] In order to fix the plug-in pipe 21 of the middle pipe 2 after being inserted into the mist outlet hole 11, the cross section of the mist outlet hole 11 and the plug-in pipe 21 is circular, at least one of the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 is annular and is concentrically arranged with the mist outlet hole 11 and the plug-in pipe 21; in the working state, the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 are oppositely arranged to ensure that the first magnetic member 3 and the second magnetic member 4 are in the magnetic attraction state.

[0049] As shown in the drawings,

[0050] In order to facilitate the disassembly of the middle pipe 2, the second magnetic member 4 is annular, and the first magnetic member 3 is arranged on the opposite sides of the mist outlet hole 11 by two small magnetic members. On this basis, as shown in the drawings, Figure 4 Figure 4 ​This is a schematic diagram of the push rod assembly in an embodiment of this application. The bottom surface of the water tank 1 has two sliding grooves 14, and two first magnetic attractors 3 are slidably disposed within the two sliding grooves 14. Simultaneously, a push rod assembly is provided, comprising a compression spring 15 and a push rod 16. Each of the two sliding grooves 14 has a compression spring 15, one end of which abuts against the groove wall of the sliding groove 14, and the other end abuts against the first magnetic attractor 3. In the initial state, the compression spring 15 pushes the first magnetic attractor 3 to one end of the sliding groove 14, making it opposite to the position of the second magnetic attractor 4. The humidifier also includes a push rod 16, one end of which has two pushing parts facing the two sliding grooves 14 respectively, and the other end passes through the outer shell 5 of the humidifier, protruding outside the humidifier. The middle part is slidably fitted into a sliding hole inside the humidifier. When disassembling the middle tube 2, simply push the push rod 16 inward. The two pushing parts of the push rod 16 will cause the first magnetic suction member 3 and the second magnetic suction member 4 to be misaligned, thereby reducing or eliminating the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic suction member 3 and the second magnetic suction member 4. This makes it easier to pull out the middle tube 2, especially when the water tank 1 is short of water and the humidifier body is relatively light, while the magnetic attraction between the first magnetic suction member 3 and the second magnetic suction member 4 is relatively strong. This can prevent the water tank 1 from being lifted when pulling out the middle tube 2.

[0051] To improve the effect of dispersing water mist, please refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the humidifier also includes a mist diffuser 6, which is located at the bottom of the central tube 2. The mist diffuser 6 has a central hole 61 communicating with the mist outlet 11 and several side holes 62 communicating with the central hole 61. Each side hole 62 is arranged around the central hole 61 and radiates outwards from the central hole 61. The side of the central tube 2 has strip-shaped holes communicating with the central hole 61 and the side holes 62. These strip-shaped holes extend along the length of the central tube 2 and serve to output water mist outwards and input water flow inwards. During operation, water mist enters the central hole 61 from the mist outlet 11. Part of the water mist in the central hole 61 flows upwards into the central tube 2, while the other part flows into the central tube 2 from the side holes 62, thus further dispersing the water mist flow.

[0052] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
