[0026] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the utility model more clear and understandable, the utility model is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. It should be understood that the specific examples described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0027] Referring to Figures 1-4The utility model provides a kind of water leakage prevention structure 100 of humidifier, the water leakage prevention structure 100 of humidifier, including water tank cover 10, be set in the rotating ball 20 of water tank cover 10, for the rotor cover 30 for being installed in the rotating ball 20 in water tank cover 10 and for the connecting component 40 for being communicated with water tank of water tank cover 10, rotating ball 20 is rotationally connected in rotor cover 30;Rotor cover 30 is installed in water tank cover 10 by fixed structure, rotor cover 30 has first gas hole 33, rotating ball 20 has second gas hole 23, water tank cover 10 has third gas hole, water tank cover 10 is installed on water tank, the first gas hole 33 of rotor cover 30 and the second gas hole 23 of rotating ball 20 are communicated, so that water vapor in water tank is entered into water tank cover 10 by connecting component 40, and after flowing through first gas hole 33 and second gas hole 23, third gas hole is blown out of water tank cover 10.The water leakage prevention structure 100 of humidifier provided by the utility model is when water tank cover 10 is installed on water tank, rotating ball 20 is vertical state under the action of gravity at this time, first gas hole 33 on rotor cover 30 and the second gas hole 23 of rotating ball 20 are communicated at this time, so that water vapor in water tank is entered into water tank cover 10 by connecting component 40, and after flowing through first gas hole 33 and second gas hole 23, third gas hole is blown out of water tank cover 10, to meet the demand of user normal use humidifier to humidify indoor air;

[0028] As Figure 4 Indicated, when certain angle of inclination of humidifier occurs, water tank cover 10 is inclined with humidifier at this time, rotating ball 20 is still vertical state under the action of gravity at this time, but rotor cover 30 is inclined with water tank cover 10 at this time, so that first gas hole 33 on rotor cover 30 and the second gas hole 23 of rotating ball 20 are misaligned, and cannot be communicated, to effectively prevent hot water in water tank from flowing out of water tank cover 10 through first gas hole 33 on rotor cover 30 and second gas hole 23 of rotating ball 20, to effectively avoid the emergence of hot water in water tank from flowing out of water tank cover 10 when humidifier is inclined, avoid user scalded by hot water, improve the security of user in use process.

[0029] As Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown, in the embodiment provided by this utility model, the rotor cover 30 includes an upper rotor cover 31 and a lower rotor cover 32. The center of both the upper rotor cover 31 and the lower rotor cover 32 is recessed inward to form a hemispherical groove 35 for accommodating the rotating ball 20. By installing the rotating ball 20 in the hemispherical groove 35 of the upper rotor cover 31 and the lower rotor cover 32, the smoothness of the rotating ball 20's rotation within the rotor cover 30 can be effectively guaranteed, while also effectively improving the smoothness of the rotating ball 20 within the rotor cover 30. This prevents hot water flowing into the water tank cover 10 from leaking out from the gap between the rotating ball 20 and the rotor cover 30, thereby further improving the leak-proof effect of the humidifier's leak-proof structure 100.

[0030] And, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment provided by this utility model, the fixing structure consists of mounting holes 34 provided on the upper rotor cover 31 and the lower rotor cover 32, and mounting posts provided at the bottom of the water tank cover 10. The locking member passes through the mounting holes 34 and is locked in the mounting posts, so that the rotor cover 30 is fixed in the water tank cover 10. By using bolts, studs, and pins to lock the rotor cover 30 into the mounting post at the bottom of the water tank cover 10 through the mounting holes 34 on the upper rotor cover 31 and the lower rotor cover 32, the stability of the rotor cover 30 fixed inside the water tank cover 10 can be effectively ensured. This ensures that when the water tank cover 10 is tilted, the rotor cover 30 will also tilt, causing the first air outlet 33 on the rotor cover 30 to misalign with the second air outlet 23 of the rotating ball 20 and preventing them from communicating. This effectively prevents hot water in the water tank from flowing out of the water tank cover 10 through the first air outlet 33 on the rotor cover 30 and the second air outlet 23 of the rotating ball 20. This effectively avoids the situation where hot water in the water tank flows out of the water tank cover 10 when the humidifier is tilted, preventing users from being scalded by hot water and improving user safety during use.

[0031] like Figure 2As shown in the embodiment provided by this utility model, the rotating ball 20 includes a plastic hemisphere 21 and an iron hemisphere 22. The shapes of the plastic hemisphere 21 and the iron hemisphere 22 are adapted to the shapes of the hemispherical grooves 35 of the rotor upper cover 31 and the rotor lower cover 32. The iron hemisphere 22 can effectively ensure that the first air outlet 33 of the rotating ball 20 always remains vertical under the action of gravity. Furthermore, by adapting the shapes of the plastic hemisphere 21 and the iron hemisphere 22 to the shapes of the hemispherical grooves 35 of the rotor upper cover 31 and the rotor lower cover 32, the smoothness of the rotating ball 20's rotation within the rotor cover 30 can be effectively ensured, thereby improving the smoothness of the rotating ball 20 within the rotor cover 30. This prevents hot water flowing into the water tank cover 10 from leaking out from the gap between the rotating ball 20 and the rotor cover 30, thus further improving the leak-proof effect of the humidifier's leak-proof structure 100. In addition, the plastic hemisphere 21 is provided with a plurality of mounting protrusions 211, and the iron hemisphere 22 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 221. The mounting protrusions 211 of the plastic hemisphere 21 are embedded into the mounting grooves 221 of the iron plate ball, so that the plastic hemisphere 21 and the iron hemisphere 22 are snapped and fixed.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water tank cover 10 provided by this utility model includes an upper water tank cover 11 and a lower water tank cover 12, with a mounting post 111 located inside the upper water tank cover 11. Multiple hooks 112 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the upper water tank cover 11, and multiple slots 122 are evenly distributed on the lower water tank cover 12. The hooks 112 of the upper water tank cover 11 are inserted into the slots 122 of the lower water tank cover 12, thus securing the upper water tank cover 11 and the lower water tank cover 12. By inserting the hooks 112 of the upper water tank cover 11 into the slots 122 of the lower water tank cover 12, the upper water tank cover 11 and the lower water tank cover 12 are secured, effectively ensuring the stability of the installation between the upper water tank cover 11 and the lower water tank cover 12 while improving the ease of assembly of the water tank cover 10. Furthermore, the lower water tank cover 12 is provided with a positioning groove 121 for positioning a rotor cover 32, the bottom of which is fitted into the positioning groove 121. By inserting the bottom of the rotor lower cover 32 into the positioning groove 121, the positioning accuracy between the rotor cover 30 and the water tank lower cover 12 can be effectively improved, thereby ensuring the accuracy of using bolts, studs and pins to pass through the mounting holes 34 on the rotor upper cover 31 and the rotor lower cover 32 and lock them into the mounting post 111 at the bottom of the water tank cover 10.

[0033] And, as Figure 1As shown in the embodiment provided by this utility model, a first sealing ring 50 is also provided between the positioning groove 121 and the rotor lower cover 32. By providing the first sealing ring 50 between the positioning groove 121 and the rotor lower cover 32, the sealing performance between the positioning groove 121 of the water tank lower cover 12 and the rotor cover 30 can be effectively improved, ensuring that water vapor and water in the water tank can only enter the rotor cover 30 through the first vent 33 on the rotor cover 30, preventing water in the water tank from flowing into the water tank lower cover 12 and flowing out of the water tank cover 10 from the third vent of the water tank upper cover 11, thereby further improving the water leakage prevention effect of the humidifier's water leakage prevention structure 100.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in the embodiment provided by this utility model, the connecting component 40 consists of a second sealing ring 41 and a stainless steel plate 42 for mounting the second sealing ring 41 on the lower cover 12 of the water tank. The stainless steel plate 42 is provided with a plurality of vents 421 communicating with the water tank. By mounting the second sealing ring 41 on the lower cover 12 of the water tank using the stainless steel plate 42, the stability of the second sealing ring 41 mounted on the lower cover 12 of the water tank can be effectively improved. Furthermore, the second sealing ring 41 can effectively improve the sealing between the water tank cover 10 and the water tank, thereby effectively preventing hot water in the water tank from flowing out of the humidifier through the gap between the water tank and the water tank cover 10. This ensures that water vapor and water in the water tank can only enter the rotor cover 30 through the first vent 33 on the rotor cover 30, thereby further improving the leak-proof effect of the leak-proof structure 100 of the humidifier.

[0035] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
