[0002] In existing technology, humidifiers, as a common household appliance, are widely used to regulate indoor humidity in order to improve living comfort and air quality. The working principle of a humidifier typically involves distributing water onto a porous structure called a wet curtain. A fan blows water across the wet curtain, causing the water to evaporate and thus increasing indoor humidity.
[0003] The existing humidifier's wet curtain structure mainly consists of two parts: the wet curtain body and the water supply system. The wet curtain body is made of a material with good water absorption properties, while the water supply system delivers water to the wet curtain to deposit and form a water film or water droplets. The water supply system mainly uses a single water pipe or channel to guide the water evenly to the surface of the wet curtain.
[0004] However, the existing single / multi-pipe water supply structure has the following problems: First, when the water flow is large, a single outlet is difficult to achieve uniform water supply to the wet curtain, resulting in uneven water supply on the surface of the wet curtain; second, in the multi-water-path structure, the water paths are at risk of mutual influence, that is, the water flow may collide, swirl and other problems affecting the stability of the water supply; in addition, when the water path is not smooth, it is easy to cause blockage of the entire water supply system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0029] The preferred embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, and it should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.
[0030] As Figures 1 to 6 shown, in a first aspect, the embodiment of the present application provides a water distribution structure for humidifier, which comprises a water distribution disc 10, an annular water distribution disc 20, a water distribution channel 30 and a water distribution rib 40.
[0031] The water distribution disc 10 is provided with a pump water inlet 11 at the center of the bottom. The pump water inlet 11 is used to connect the water supply assembly of the humidifier, so as to deliver humidified water into the water distribution disc 10.
[0032] An annular water distribution plate 20 is concentrically arranged with the water distribution plate 10 and has a plurality of water distribution holes 21 evenly distributed along its circumference. In one embodiment, the annular water distribution plate 20 is circular, with the water distribution holes 21 evenly distributed on it to ensure that the water flow can be evenly distributed to the surface of the wet curtain below the annular water distribution plate 20. The water distribution holes 21 can be various shapes such as circular, square, or elliptical.
[0033] Multiple water distribution channels 30 are arranged equidistantly along the circumference of the water distribution plate 10. One end of each water distribution channel 30 is connected to the water distribution plate 10, and the other end extends downward at the same angle and connects to the water distribution plate. In one embodiment, the angle of inclination of the water distribution channel 30 is between 5° and 15° to ensure that the water flow can be smooth under the action of gravity. The water distribution channel 30 can be a tubular structure or a channel structure to meet different design requirements.
[0034] Multiple water-dividing ribs 40 are protruding from the bottom of the water-dividing plate 10. These water-dividing ribs 40 are radially distributed along the radial direction of the water-dividing plate 10. One end of each water-dividing rib 40 extends to the plate wall between adjacent water-dividing channels 30, and the other end extends to the opening of the pump inlet 11 to guide the water flow from the pump inlet 11 to the inlet of each water-dividing channel 30.
[0035] Among them, the bottom of the water distribution plate 10 between adjacent water distribution ribs 40 is recessed to form a guide groove 50. One end of the guide groove 50 is connected to the pump inlet 11, and the other end extends into the water distribution channel 30 along its length. In specific implementation, the guide groove 50 is a long and narrow groove structure. Its function is to guide the water flow from the pump inlet 11 into the water distribution channel 30 more accurately, reduce water flow dispersion and turbulence, and ensure that the water flows smoothly into the water distribution channel.
[0036] During operation, the water supply component delivers water from the pump inlet 11 to the water distribution plate 10. Guided by the water distribution ribs 40 and the guide grooves 50, the water flows evenly into each water distribution channel 30, and then flows along the water distribution channel 30 to the annular water distribution plate 20. It is then evenly distributed on the surface of the wet curtain through the water distribution holes 21 to achieve the humidification effect. It has the advantages of simple structure, uniform water flow distribution, and high humidification efficiency, and effectively solves the problems of uneven water flow and low efficiency in the prior art.
[0037] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the pump inlet 11 and the bottom of the water distribution plate 10 are connected by an arc-shaped transition. The arc-shaped transition allows the water flow direction to change smoothly, reducing turbulence and enabling the water to enter the water distribution plate 10 more smoothly.
[0038] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the water distribution channel 30 is provided with a first water guide rib 60 at the connection with the annular water distribution disc 20. The first water guide rib 60 is arranged at one end of the annular water distribution disc 20 and extends along the circumference of the annular water distribution disc 20 to form two second water guide ribs 61 that are opposite to each other. The ends of the second water guide ribs 61 away from the first water guide rib 60 are bent to form third water guide ribs 62 in a direction away from the water distribution channel 30. A water distribution hole 21 is arranged between the second water guide rib 61 and the third water guide rib 62. Through the three-stage distribution structure of the first water guide rib 60, the second water guide rib 61 and the third water guide rib 62, the water flow is divided and guided multiple times, so that the water flow is more evenly distributed on the annular water distribution disc 20, reducing the situation that the local water flow is too large or too small, ensuring the uniform wetting of the surface of the humidifying cloth during water distribution, and improving the humidifying effect.
[0039] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 3 the third water guide rib 62 is provided with a fourth water guide rib 63 opposite to the side away from the second water guide rib 61. The fourth water guide rib 63 and the third water guide rib 62 are provided with a fifth water guide rib 64. The fifth water guide rib 64 extends along the circumference of the annular water distribution disc 20 to form two sixth water guide ribs 65 that are opposite to each other. The ends of the sixth water guide ribs 65 away from the fifth water guide rib 64 are bent to form seventh water guide ribs 66 in the direction of the water distribution channel 30. A water distribution hole 21 is arranged between the sixth water guide rib 65 and the seventh water guide rib 66. With this structure, the fourth water guide rib 63 guides the water flow divided by the second water guide rib 61 to pass through the fifth water guide rib 64 again, and finally enters the water distribution hole 21 through the sixth water guide rib 65 and the seventh water guide rib 66, realizing more precise water flow control, that is, more water distribution holes 21 can be arranged on the annular water distribution disc 20, further improving the water distribution effect.
[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 the first water guide rib 60 and the second water guide rib 61 are arc transition. In specific implementation, arc transition is adopted between the rest of the water guide ribs, so that the flow direction of the water flow can change gently.
[0041] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 the bottom of the annular water distribution disc 20 is provided with a plurality of eighth water guide ribs 67 corresponding to the positions of the water distribution holes 21. The eighth water guide ribs 67 are inverted triangular pyramids, and the tips thereof are downward. When the annular water distribution disc 20 is assembled in place, the inverted triangular pyramids of the eighth water guide ribs 67 will extend into the interior of the humidifying cloth. When the water flow passes through the eighth water guide ribs 67 at the bottom of the annular water distribution disc 20 and enters the water distribution hole 21 through the through holes, the through holes can further disperse the water flow, so that the water flow enters the humidifying cloth from different directions, thereby improving the dispersion effect of the humidifying cloth on the water flow.
[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 , Figure 6 The bottom of the annular water distribution tray 20 is provided with a plurality of buckles 22. The buckles are usually plastic structures with a certain elasticity, which can be connected to other components by deformation to facilitate the installation of the whole water distribution structure.
[0043] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 The water distribution tray 10, the annular water distribution tray 20 and the water distribution channel 30 are integrally formed, which makes the water distribution tray 10, the annular water distribution tray 20 and the water distribution channel 30 form an integral whole, without the need for additional connecting parts, improving the overall structure. The top of the integrally formed structure is provided with a cover body 70, which can close the water distribution structure and protect it from dust and foreign matter; the cover body 70 is provided with a positioning convex ring 71 matched with the water distribution tray 10, and the water distribution rib 40 is provided with a avoiding groove 41 for the positioning convex ring 71 to insert, so as to accurately position the relative position between the cover body 70 and the integrally formed structure, ensuring the assembly accuracy.

Those skilled in the art can clearly understand that, in order to facilitate and simplify the description, the specific working process of the above-mentioned humidifier can refer to the corresponding process in the foregoing water distribution structure for humidifier embodiments, which will not be repeated here.
