Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of humidifying equipment, in particular to a humidifier. BACKGROUND

[0002] In order to improve the visual aesthetics of the humidifier, manufacturers often equip it with atmosphere lights on the outside. The current market humidifier atmosphere light design generally adopts the combination structure of light strip and lampshade, in which the light strip and the lampshade are arranged in turn along the thickness direction of the humidifier shell. Although this design successfully achieves the purpose of creating atmosphere light effect, it also brings the following defects and problems: first, the installation of the atmosphere light significantly increases the lateral size of the humidifier, or in the case of keeping the product lateral size unchanged, in order to accommodate the atmosphere light, manufacturers often need to reduce the capacity and volume of the internal water tank, which may affect the performance and use experience of the humidifier. Secondly, since the shell usually has a certain light transmittance, the light strip directly shines on the lampshade, and part of the light is easy to penetrate from the shell, which makes the atmosphere light effect not concentrated, affecting the visual and experience.

[0003] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background section is only used to strengthen the understanding of the background of the present disclosure, and therefore can include information that does not constitute prior art known to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0019] (Three) beneficial effects

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme provided by the embodiments of the present application brings at least the following beneficial effects:

[0021] When the humidifier of the present application is in operation, the light source projects initial light to the light-reflecting surface, the initial light is reflected to the light guide through the light-reflecting surface, and finally guided to the lampshade by the light guide, realizing the effect of atmosphere lamp and optimizing the light management. Specifically, after the continuous action of the light-reflecting surface and the light guide, the intensity of the light is moderately weakened, effectively avoiding the problem of direct penetration of the light through the outer shell.

[0023] In summary, the humidifier of the present application not only effectively reduces light leakage and greatly enhances the concentrated display effect of light in the lampshade area, but also significantly reduces the restriction of the ambient light function on the overall size and internal structure of the humidifier through the innovative vertical layout strategy, thereby facilitating the comprehensive improvement of the performance and user experience of the product.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] To enhance their appearance, humidifiers often feature ambient lighting on the outside. Current ambient lighting in humidifiers mainly consists of a light strip and a lampshade, typically arranged sequentially along the thickness of the lamp's outer casing. While this achieves the desired ambient lighting function, it can increase the overall lateral dimensions of the product. Alternatively, if the overall lateral dimensions are fixed, the size of the internal water tank may need to be reduced to accommodate the ambient lighting, potentially impacting product performance and user experience.

[0034] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this embodiment provides a humidifier. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 4 As shown. Among them, Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the humidifier in the embodiments of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the humidifier in an embodiment of this application. Figure 3 This is a half-sectional perspective view of the humidifier in the embodiments of this application. Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A schematic diagram of region A in the middle.

[0035] The humidifier in this embodiment includes: a water tank 1 and a reflector 2, a light source 3, a light guide 4 and a lampshade 5 disposed on the outside of the water tank 1.

[0036] The water tank 1, as the core component of the humidifier, is used to hold the water to be atomized. The shape of the water tank 1 can be round, square, or other suitable shapes, and the bottom is usually equipped with an ultrasonic atomizer or heating element to achieve water atomization or heating and evaporation.

[0037] A closed space is formed between the reflector 2, the light guide 4, and the water tank 1. The light source 3 is located within this closed space and is positioned towards the reflector 2. The light source 3 can be a lamp tube or a light strip. The reflector 2 is typically made of a highly reflective metal material (such as aluminum or silver) or a plastic with a mirror-like finish. The closed space means that, theoretically, the light from the light source 3 can only pass through the reflector 2, the light guide 4, and the water tank 1. However, due to the poor light transmittance of the reflector 2 and the water tank 1, most of the light is emitted from the light guide 4. The closed space helps reduce the intrusion of external dust and moisture, protecting the internal light source 3 and the reflector 2. Simultaneously, this closed space also helps maintain the light transmission efficiency and the stability of the light path.

[0038] The light guide 4 and the lampshade 5 are simultaneously positioned above or below the reflector 2 and the light source 3, i.e., offset in height from the reflector 2 and the light source 3, thereby reducing the lateral dimensions of the product. Meanwhile, the lampshade 5 is positioned around the light guide 4; the reflector 2 has a reflective surface 20, which reflects the light from the light source 3 to the light guide 4, which then directs the light towards the lampshade 5, concentrating the light so that it shines through the lampshade 5.

[0039] Understandably, the reflective surface 20 of the reflector 2 is designed with a suitable angle and shape to ensure that the light from the light source 3 can be effectively reflected to the light guide 4. The light guide 4, together with the reflector 2 and the light source 3, forms part of the optical path and can be made of transparent or translucent materials such as plastic or glass. The light guide 4 can be a light-transmitting structure with refractive or scattering functions, refracting or scattering the light reflected by the reflector 2 onto the lampshade 5.

[0040] When the humidifier using the above technical solution is working, the light from the light source 3 first shines on the reflector 2. The reflector 2 then reflects the light onto the light guide 4 via the reflective surface 20. The light guide 4 then directs the light to the lampshade 5, achieving the effect of ambient lighting. The light from the light source 3 is weakened after passing through the reflector 2 and the light guide 4. Compared to existing humidifiers where the light source 3 directly illuminates the lampshade 5, the light is less likely to escape from the outer casing, concentrating the light on the lampshade 5 and enhancing the visual appeal of the ambient lighting. Simultaneously, the light guide 4 and the lampshade 5 are positioned above or below the reflector 2 and the light source 3, distributing them along the height of the humidifier. Compared to existing humidifiers where the light source 3 and lampshade 5 are arranged horizontally, this reduces the horizontal dimension and minimizes the impact of the ambient lighting installation on the product's horizontal dimensions or the capacity of the internal water tank 1. In summary, the humidifiers with the above technical solutions can reduce light leakage from the outer casing, increase the concentration of light on the lampshade 5, and reduce the impact of the ambient light function on the product's lateral dimensions or the capacity of the internal water tank 1, thereby helping to ensure product performance and user experience.

[0041] The aforementioned light guide 4 can be directly or indirectly disposed on the outside of the water tank 1. For example, see [reference needed]. Figure 4 As shown, the water tank 1 has an outer edge 11, which provides support for the installation of other components. The water tank 1 has a light-transmitting hole 12 on the outer edge 11. The light guide 4 is fixed on the outer edge 11 and faces the light-transmitting hole 12. The reflective surface 20 reflects the light from the light source 3 through the light-transmitting hole 12 and the light guide 4 in sequence. The shape and size of the light guide 4 match the light-transmitting hole 12 to ensure that the light can pass smoothly through the light-transmitting hole 12 and enter the light guide 4.

[0042] For example, multiple light-transmitting holes 12 are formed on the outer edge 11. These light-transmitting holes 12 are evenly distributed to ensure that the light can be evenly distributed on the light guide 4.

[0043] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the light guide 4 and the lamp cover 5 are arranged above the reflector 2 and the light source 3; the upper end of the outer edge 11 is provided with a clamping groove 13 on both sides of the light transmission hole 12, the bottom of the light guide 4 is provided with a clamping protrusion 40, and the clamping protrusion 40 is matched with the clamping groove 13; the lamp cover 5 is pressed on the upper end of the light guide 4. During installation, the light guide 4 can be quickly positioned and stably installed on the outer edge 11 through the matching of the clamping protrusion 40 and the clamping groove 13, and is easy to disassemble and replace. At the same time, the lower pressing part 52 of the lamp cover 5 is pressed on the upper end of the light guide 4 to fix the position of the light guide 4.

[0044] For example, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the lamp cover 5 includes a lamp cover main body 51 extending in the height direction and a lower pressing part 52 extending in the transverse direction, and the lamp cover 5 is pressed on the upper end of the light guide 4 through the lower pressing part 52. The width and shape of the lower pressing part 52 are matched with the upper end of the light guide 4, so as to ensure that the lower pressing part 52 can be closely attached and pressed on the light guide 4.

[0045] For example, additional fixing parts (such as elastic buckles, screw holes, etc.) can also be arranged on the lamp cover main body 51 or the lower pressing part 52, so as to more stably install the lamp cover 5.

[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the humidifier includes an out-mist part 6 fixed on the upper end of the lower pressing part 52 and used for delivering water mist, and a closed space is formed between the out-mist part 6, the light guide 4 and the lamp cover 5. The out-mist part 6 has a channel for outputting water mist and can be provided with a fan or other device capable of blowing out water mist; the closed space is helpful to reduce the invasion of external dust and moisture, and meanwhile, the closed space is also helpful to maintain the transmission efficiency of light and the stability of the light path.

[0047] For example, the out-mist part 6 is connected with the lamp cover 5 or the shell through appropriate fixing modes such as screws, buckles and adhesives. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the mist outlet of the out-mist part 6 corresponds to the air outlet of the humidifier, so as to smoothly blow out the water mist.

[0048] In order to realize the ambient light effect of uniformly surrounding the product, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the light source 3, the reflector 2, the light guide 4 and the lamp cover 5 are in a ring structure with the water tank 1 as the center. The ring design not only makes the appearance of the humidifier more beautiful and fashionable, but also can ensure that the light is uniformly distributed around the humidifier, thereby improving the lighting effect.

[0049] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the humidifier comprises an upper shell 7 and a lower shell 8, the light-reflecting member 2 is located between the water tank 1 and the lower shell 8, and the lampshade 5 is fixed between the upper shell 7 and the lower shell 8. The light-reflecting member 2 is connected with the lower shell 8 or the water tank 1 by screws or buckles. The lampshade 5 can be fixed on the upper shell 7 or the lower shell 8 by screws, buckles or other fixing modes.

[0050] The above description is only optional embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and the like within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
