Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of humidifier technology, and in particular to a high water capacity humidifier wheel. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifiers regulate indoor humidity by increasing the moisture content of the indoor air, making the environment more comfortable and healthy. They are widely used in dry winters, air-conditioned rooms, or other dry environments to alleviate problems such as dry skin and respiratory discomfort caused by dry air. The humidifying wheel inside the humidifier is its core component. The wheel rotates in the water tank, carrying water upwards, and then the moisture evaporates into the air through airflow, thus increasing humidity. This design avoids the problems of mold and bacterial growth that often occur with the fibers, cloth, and paper materials used in traditional wet-film humidifiers.

[0003] For example, Chinese invention patent application CN202311498009.5 discloses a high-efficiency humidifier, whose humidifying wheel specifically includes multiple evaporation discs arranged in the middle. However, in this design, and in the prior art, the evaporation disc structure is mostly a planar or simple curved surface structure, with a limited surface area, resulting in low water carrying capacity and low humidification efficiency. In addition, when the planar evaporation disc rotates at high speed, water is easily lost under the action of centrifugal force, further reducing the humidification effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problems of low water carrying capacity and low humidification efficiency of the evaporator plate of the existing humidifier mentioned in the background art, this application provides a humidification wheel with high water carrying capacity.

[0005] The high water-carrying capacity humidifying wheel provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A high water-carrying capacity humidifying wheel includes at least one coaxial and synchronously rotating evaporator, both surfaces of which have an uneven structure, designed to increase the surface area of ​​the evaporator through the uneven structure.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the surface area of ​​the evaporator can be increased by utilizing the uneven structure, thereby increasing its water carrying capacity. Furthermore, the uneven structure allows water to adhere more evenly to the surface of the evaporator, avoiding the problem of water loss when the traditional flat rotating plate is rotated at high speed. In addition, this design effectively improves humidification efficiency and reduces the volume and energy consumption of the humidifier without increasing the number or size of the evaporator.

[0008] Optionally, the uneven structure of the evaporator surface includes a protruding part that protrudes outward on the evaporator surface and a recessed part that is recessed inward on the evaporator surface.

[0009] Optionally, the protrusion and the recess are smoothly transitioned.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the structural design with a smooth transition can avoid local stress concentration in the evaporator, enhance the structural strength of the evaporator, extend its service life, and make the water flow more smoothly on the surface of the evaporator, further optimizing the water distribution and evaporation efficiency.

[0011] Optionally, both the protrusion and the recess are annular structures, and the annular centers of the protrusion and the recess coincide with each other, and the annular centers of the protrusion and the recess coincide with the center of the evaporation plate.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the uneven structure on the evaporator plate is transformed into a wave-like structure. This wave-like structure allows moisture to be evenly distributed along the crests and troughs, avoiding the problem of moisture concentrating at the edges or center when the traditional planar rotating plate rotates at high speed. Furthermore, the wave-like structure better disperses centrifugal force during rotation, reducing deformation and vibration of the evaporator plate and extending its service life. Additionally, the wave-like structure creates regular airflow channels during rotation, allowing air to pass more smoothly over the surface of the rotating plate, increasing the evaporation rate. Moreover, this structure can more fully increase the surface area of ​​the evaporator plate, which is beneficial for increasing water carrying capacity and improving humidification effect.

[0013] Optionally, it also includes mounting wheels installed at both ends of at least one evaporator plate, one of which has mounting rods evenly distributed on its surface, the mounting rods passing through the evaporator plate and the ends connected to the other mounting wheel, so that the two mounting wheels and the evaporator plate form a fixed integral structure.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the mounting wheel and mounting rod enables multiple evaporation plates to be firmly fixed together to form a stable overall structure, which improves the mechanical strength of the humidifying wheel. This structure also makes the assembly and disassembly of the humidifying wheel more convenient.

[0015] Optionally, the surface of the evaporator is provided with an outwardly protruding boss, which can abut against the surface of adjacent evaporator plates, so that a gap is formed between two adjacent evaporator plates.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, gaps are formed between the evaporation pans, which facilitates the entry of air into the gaps and improves the water evaporation efficiency.

[0017] Optionally, the evaporation plate is provided with multiple water carrying holes.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, some water can be transported through the water carrying hole, improving the humidification effect. Furthermore, the design of the water carrying hole increases the water carrying capacity while reducing the weight of the impeller and lowering the energy consumption of the humidifier.

[0019] Optionally, the two surfaces of the evaporation plate are provided with surface texture.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, the surface area of ​​the evaporation plate is further increased through the design of the surface texture, thereby improving the water carrying capacity and water evaporation efficiency. On the other hand, it also enables water to adhere more firmly to the surface of the rotating plate, reducing water loss during high-speed rotation.

[0021] Optionally, the surface texture consists of a single polygonal structure or a combination of polygonal structures.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solutions, the surface texture design can be flexible and diverse, and can be adjusted according to specific needs, making it suitable for different humidification scenarios.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0024] This invention increases the surface area of ​​the evaporator by designing a wave-shaped evaporator, thereby increasing the water carrying capacity during operation and significantly improving the humidification effect. Furthermore, the surface texture design on the evaporator further increases the surface area and also increases the amount of water adhering to the surface of the evaporator, thus improving the water evaporation efficiency.

[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 1-7 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a high water-carrying capacity humidifying wheel, including at least one coaxial and synchronously rotating evaporator 1. In this example, there are multiple evaporator 1s, and multiple evaporator 1s of the same shape are coaxial and equally spaced. Both surfaces of the evaporator 1 have an uneven structure, which is configured to increase the surface area of ​​the evaporator 1 through the uneven structure.

[0039] Specifically, in one embodiment, the uneven surface structure of the evaporator 1 includes a protruding portion 101 protruding outwards from the surface of the evaporator 1 and a recessed portion 102 protruding inwards from the surface of the evaporator 1. The purpose of providing the protruding portion 101 and the recessed portion 102 is to increase the surface area of ​​the evaporator 1 without changing the overall diameter of the evaporator 1, thereby increasing the water carrying capacity. In this example, the protruding portion 101 and the recessed portion 102 have a smooth transition, making the overall shape of the evaporator 1 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0040] Specifically, in another embodiment, both the protrusion 101 and the recess 102 are annular structures, and the annular centers of the protrusion 101 and the recess 102 coincide with each other, and the annular centers of the protrusion 101 and the recess 102 coincide with the center of the evaporator 1. That is, as Figure 6 As shown, the protrusions 101 and the recesses 102 give the evaporator 1 a wavy structure in cross-section. This structure keeps the center of gravity of the evaporator 1 in its central position so that it can rotate during operation.

[0041] Specifically, it also includes mounting wheels installed at both ends of at least one evaporator plate 1. One of the mounting wheels has mounting rods 201 evenly distributed on its surface. The mounting rods 201 pass through the evaporator plate 1 and their ends are connected to the other mounting wheel, forming a fixed integral structure with the two mounting wheels and the evaporator plate 1. In this example, the two mounting wheels are a first mounting wheel 2 and a second mounting wheel 3 respectively, located at both ends of the plurality of evaporator plates 1. The mounting rods 201 are integrally connected to the end face of the first mounting wheel 2. There are six mounting rods 201, evenly distributed around the center of the first mounting wheel 2. The evaporator plate 1 has mounting holes 105 corresponding to the mounting rods 201. After passing through the mounting holes 105, the mounting rods 201 are connected and fixed to the second mounting wheel 3 by screws, thereby assembling the first mounting wheel 2, the evaporator plate 1, and the second mounting wheel 3.

[0042] Specifically, the surface of the evaporator 1 is provided with an outwardly protruding boss 103. The boss 103 can abut against the surface of the adjacent evaporator 1, so that a gap is formed between the two adjacent evaporator 1. The boss 103 is integrally connected with the evaporator 1. The boss 103 can be designed as a cylindrical structure or a polygonal column structure. The purpose is to form a gap between the two evaporator 1, so that air can enter the gap and carry away the moisture, thereby achieving the purpose of dehumidification.

[0043] Specifically, the evaporation plate 1 has a plurality of water carrying holes 104, and the two surfaces of the evaporation plate 1 are provided with surface textures 106, which are composed of a single polygonal structure or a combination of polygonal structures.

[0044] When using this type of high water capacity humidifying wheel, such as Figure 7 As shown, the humidifying wheel is installed entirely inside the humidifier, with its axis horizontal. Below the humidifying wheel is a water tank 4, which is submerged in water. When the humidifying wheel rotates, the evaporator plate 1 absorbs moisture and carries it out of the water tank 4, gradually moving it upwards. At this time, the fan inside the humidifier blows dry air towards the evaporator plate 1. Because moisture adheres to the surface of the evaporator plate 1, the moisture evaporates when the air comes into contact with it, increasing the air humidity. As the humidifying wheel continues to rotate, the evaporator plate 1 again carries water out of the water tank 4, thus creating a cycle. In this example, the evaporator plate 1 is designed with a wavy structure, increasing its surface area and thus the amount of water carried out per unit time. This increases the water carrying capacity, improving the humidification efficiency and effect of the humidifier, making it more efficient.

[0045] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
