Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular relates to a heater with humidification function. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, fan heaters, as a widely used heating device in homes, offices, shopping malls, hospitals, and other places, have gained market popularity. Common fan heaters mainly heat the air using PTC (positive temperature coefficient) ceramic heating elements or resistance wire heating elements, and then deliver the warm air through a fan to achieve rapid temperature rise.

[0003] Traditional fan heaters have limited functionality. To address this, a humidifying fan heater, as disclosed in application number CN201921148806X, includes a heating unit and a humidifying unit. The heating unit comprises an air inlet, a fan, a heating element, an air outlet, and a housing. The air inlet, fan, heating element, and air outlet are all located on the housing, arranged sequentially according to the airflow direction. The humidifying unit includes a water storage box, an atomizing element, and a water vapor outlet. The heating unit and humidifying unit can be detachably fixed or integrally formed. By integrating a heater and a humidifier, it provides both humidification and heating functions, effectively improving the temperature and humidity of the environment.

[0004] In actual use, the water vapor outlet of the aforementioned humidifier and heater is located above the air outlet, and the water vapor and warm air are not combined. For example, when the humidifier and heater is pointed at the user's hand, the warm air blows directly onto the hand to achieve the purpose of warming the hand, but the water vapor will not follow the warm air to the hand, which may cause the hand to become too dry during the warming process. The user experience needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0022] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0024] Example 1: As Figure 1 As shown, a warm air blower with humidification function includes a housing 1 and a water tank 2. The front end of the housing 1 has an air outlet 11, and the rear end has an air inlet 12. Inside the housing 1, a fan 13 and a heating element 14 are arranged from back to front. The upper end of the water tank 2 is recessed to form a mounting groove 21, and the bottom of the housing 1 is embedded in the mounting groove 21. An atomizer 3 is installed inside the water tank 2, and an air outlet 22 is located at the upper end of the water tank 2, in front of the mounting groove 21 and below the air outlet 11. The heating element 14 can be a commercially available PTC heating element or heating wire, and the atomizer 3 is generally a commercially available ultrasonic atomizer.

[0025] When in use, the fan 13 starts up and creates a flowing airflow. After being heated by the heating element 14, it forms warm air and is blown out from the air outlet 11. The water in the water tank 2 is processed by the atomizer 3 to form water vapor. The water vapor is discharged through the air outlet 22 and comes into contact with the warm air, ultimately forming humid warm air. Furthermore, multiple air outlets 11 are provided and are spaced apart along the left and right direction.

[0026] In this embodiment, the atomizer 3 is located directly below the air outlet 22, which helps to shorten the path of water vapor and allow the water vapor to be discharged quickly.

[0027] In this embodiment, the lower end face of the air outlet 11 is flush with the upper end face of the water storage tank 2, so that the water vapor and warm air can come into rapid contact without obstructing the air outlet 11.

[0028] Example 2: Figure 1 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as in Embodiment 1. The difference is that a partition 23 is fixedly installed on the inner top surface of the water tank 2. The left and right sides of the partition 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the water tank 2. A gap is left between the partition 23 and the inner bottom surface of the water tank 2. The air outlet 22 and the atomizer 3 are both located in front of the partition 23.

[0029] After water is injected into the water tank 2, the lower end of the partition 23 is immersed in the water, dividing the upper part of the water tank 2 into a front chamber and a rear chamber. Since the air outlet 22 and the atomizer 3 are both located in front of the partition 23, the generated water vapor is discharged through the front chamber and the air outlet 22, preventing the water vapor from spreading backward into the rear chamber area in the water tank 2, which helps to ensure the continuity and stability of the air output.

[0030] Example 3: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rest is the same as in Embodiment 1, except that the bottom of the mounting groove 21 is provided with a first through hole 211 and a heat-conducting rod 4, and the lower end of the housing 1 is provided with a second through hole 15 communicating with the first through hole 211. The upper end of the heat-conducting rod 4 passes through the first through hole 211 and the second through hole 15 in sequence and extends into the housing 1, while the lower end of the heat-conducting rod 4 extends into the water storage tank 2. After the heating element 14 is activated, some of the heat can be conducted into the water storage tank 2 through the heat-conducting rod 4 to heat the water in the water storage tank 2 at the same time. The heated water is closer to the temperature of the warm air, and when it comes into contact with the warm air, it will not cause a sudden drop in the temperature of the warm air, resulting in a more uniform overall temperature of the humid warm air, which helps to improve the user experience.

[0031] In this embodiment, the heat-conducting rod 4 is in contact with the bottom of the heating element 14, which helps to improve the heat conduction speed.

[0032] In this embodiment, a first waterproof sealing ring 5 is provided between the heat-conducting rod 4 and the first through hole 211, and a second waterproof sealing ring 6 is provided between the heat-conducting rod 4 and the second through hole 15.

[0033] Example 4: Figure 1 As shown, the rest of the parts are the same as in Embodiment 1, except that an observation window 24 is provided on the side of the water tank 2 so that the user can quickly confirm the amount of water in the water tank 2.

[0034] In this embodiment, a water inlet 25 is provided on the upper part of the rear side of the water storage tank 2.

[0035] The present invention has been described above by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
