Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a water storage component and a humidifier. Background Technology
[0002] Air humidity has a direct impact on how we feel, therefore, regulating air humidity is an important part of air conditioning in the home. Evaporative humidifiers are common humidification devices. They absorb water through a mesh fabric, and a blower creates airflow that passes through the mesh fabric. The airflow then carries the water from the mesh fabric into the external environment, thus achieving humidification.
[0003] The structure of the mesh directly affects the amount of water carried by the airflow through it. Existing mesh structures are too simple and cannot balance the contact area between the airflow and water with the airflow rate, resulting in low humidification efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of this, in order to solve at least one of the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a water storage component and a humidifier.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model mainly provides the following technical solutions:
[0006] On the one hand, this utility model provides a water storage component, including:
[0007] The water storage component (10) includes a water storage fabric, which includes multiple surface layers and wiring (40) that connects adjacent surface layers;
[0008] The surface layer has multiple pores, including at least a first pore (101) and a second pore (102), and the areas of the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) are different.
[0009] Among them, the multiple surface layers include at least a first surface layer (31) and a second surface layer (32) arranged adjacent to each other. The first surface layer (31) has a first vent (101) and the second surface layer (32) has a second vent (102).
[0010] The area of the second vent (102) is smaller than the area of the first vent (101), and the first vent (101) and at least one second vent (102) are provided correspondingly.
[0011] Wiring (40) extends between the edges of the corresponding first vent (101) and second vent (102) to connect the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32).
[0012] The wiring (40) is connected to the edge of the single second vent (102) corresponding to the first vent (101);
[0013] Alternatively, the wiring (40) is connected to the edge of a plurality of second vents (102) corresponding to the first vent (101).
[0014] The first surface layer (31) is made of a first wire, and the second surface layer (32) is made of a second wire. The strength of the first wire is greater than that of the second wire, and the water absorption of the second wire is less than that of the first wire.
[0015] In this process, at least one surface layer is provided with a first pore (101) and a second pore (102).
[0016] The surface layer includes at least one large pore region (120) and at least one small pore region (110). The large pore region (120) includes multiple first pores (101), and the small pore region (110) includes multiple second pores (102). The small pore region (110) and the large pore region (120) are arranged alternately.
[0017] The water-storing fabric is multiple, and the multiple water-storing fabrics include at least a first water-storing fabric (21) and a second water-storing fabric (22) arranged adjacent to each other. The first water-storing fabric (21) has a first air hole (101), and the second water-storing fabric (22) has a second air hole (102).
[0018] The area of the first vent (101) is larger than the area of the second vent (102), and the second vent (102) is located at the front end of the first vent (101) in the direction of airflow.
[0019] Furthermore, this utility model also provides a humidifier, including at least one of the above-mentioned water storage components (10).
[0020] The water storage component and humidifier proposed in this utility model mainly increase the airflow rate by setting a first and a second air hole on the surface layer. The water storage is achieved through the air holes, allowing airflow to pass through and increasing the airflow volume. Water is stored by connecting the lines between different surface layers, ensuring sufficient contact area between the airflow and water, allowing the airflow to carry enough moisture after passing through the water-storing fabric. By setting different areas for the first and second air holes, the larger air hole increases the airflow volume, while the smaller air hole increases the line density and water holding capacity. The concentrated arrangement of small air holes in certain areas increases the structural strength of the surface layer and the continuous water supply capacity. The airflow channel is expanded by varying the air holes, and the airflow and moisture are brought into closer contact through deceleration and pressurization. Simultaneously, increasing the air hole area based on the airflow direction continuously provides moisture while reducing the formation of a water film by reducing the amount of moisture carried by the airflow. Compared to air holes of a single size, the combination of air holes of different sizes better balances water holding capacity and flow rate, improving humidification efficiency.

[0029] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model to achieve its intended purpose, the following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, describes the specific implementation, structure, features, and effects of a water storage component proposed according to this utility model.
[0030] On the one hand, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the present invention provides a water storage component (10), comprising:
[0031] It includes a water-storing fabric, which includes multiple surface layers and wiring (40), with wiring (40) connecting adjacent surface layers;
[0032] The surface layer has multiple pores, including at least a first pore (101) and a second pore (102), and the areas of the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) are different.
[0033] The water storage unit (10) is used in the evaporative humidifier, and water is stored on the surface of the water storage unit (10) and on the wiring (40). The evaporative humidifier also includes a water supply mechanism and a blower mechanism. In use, the water supply mechanism supplies water to the water storage unit (10), such as by spraying or injecting water from above the water storage unit (10) to hold water. The blower mechanism drives the airflow so that the airflow flows from at least one side of the water storage unit (10) to the other side, passing through the water storage unit (10). The airflow will come into contact with the water held on the water storage unit (10) inside the water storage unit (10), causing the water to be atomized and dispersed into the external environment with the airflow, thereby humidifying the environment. The flow channel space of the water storage unit (10) is limited. Therefore, how to provide better contact efficiency between the airflow and water with the limited volume of the water storage unit (10), so that the airflow carries more water, is an important factor in improving the performance of the humidifier.
[0034] The water storage component (10) may consist of a single water storage fabric, or it may consist of multiple water storage fabrics, which may be such as Figure 5 The bend shown is an arc or a cylinder, or it can be as follows: Figure 6 As shown, this is a planar structure. Multiple water-retaining fabrics can be as follows: Figure 5 The layers are tightly joined as shown, and the edges of the water-retaining fabric are sewn together or fixed using methods such as welding. Alternatively, it can be done as follows: Figure 6 As shown, multiple water-storing fabrics are spaced apart, and the shape and spacing of the water-storing fabrics can be fixed by a fixing frame. The airflow passes through each water-storing fabric in sequence, and comes into contact with the water-holding fabrics in sequence to increase the moisture in the airflow. The water-storing fabric is a three-dimensional mesh structure composed of multiple surface layers and the connecting lines (40) between the surface layers. The surface layer is a mesh structure with air holes. The air holes are openings on the surface layer to provide inlets / outlets for the airflow. The size and shape of the air holes should mainly improve the formation of the surface water film, while also taking into account the flow rate and structural strength.
[0035] The first vent (101) and the second vent (102) are two types of vents with different area sizes provided on the water storage component (10). The area size refers to the area of the region enclosed by the inner edge of the vent, which is determined by the length and width of the vent. In other words, the area of the vent can be approximately regarded as the area of the cross section of the airflow perpendicular to the flow direction when the airflow passes through the vent. The vents can be formed by connecting wires, such as... Figure 7-8Taking the first vent (101) as an example, the first vent (101) is formed by connecting wires (1011). For example, the wires (1011) can be arranged into a ring, with multiple wire rings nested together and encircling the vent to form an opening area, thus forming the first vent (101). The vents are closely spaced, meaning adjacent vents are tightly connected and can share a portion of the wire ring. For example, if two first vents (101) are arranged adjacently, the portion of the wire ring that forms one of the first vents (101) can also form the other first vent (101). Alternatively, the wire ring can be shared by three, four, or even more first vents (101). The shapes of the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) can be the same, such as the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) being as follows: Figure 7 The approximate rectangle shown, or, as... Figure 8 The shape shown is approximately elliptical or hexagonal. The area of the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) can be increased or decreased by adding or reducing the number of wire rings. Alternatively, the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) can also be pores of different shapes, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the first vent (101) is an approximately rectangular vent, while the second vent (102) is an approximately square vent. Alternatively, the first vent (101) can be a circular vent, while the second vent (102) can be a square vent. The area of the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of wire rings. Alternatively, the same number of wire rings can be used, but different shapes can be used to provide different opening areas.
[0036] The wiring (300) connects the surface layers through the edges of the vents. Specifically, the wiring (300) extends from the edge of one vent in an adjacent surface layer to the edge of the other vent, thus connecting and fixing the two adjacent surface layers. The wiring (300) can be connected to the edges of the vents by a through-hole connection. For example, taking two surface layers including a first vent (101), the connection between the two surface layers is achieved through their respective first vents (101). Figure 7As shown, the wire (300) can be threaded through a single wire loop or through a shared sleeve (1012) formed by two wire loops interlocking. For a single wire loop or sleeve, only two wires (300) may extend out, i.e., the wire (300) passes through the wire loop or sleeve once, or the wire (300) may pass through the wire loop or sleeve repeatedly, forming more wires (300) extending from the single wire loop or sleeve, such as 4 or 6 wires. In some other embodiments, the wires (300) may not be connected by threading, but by bonding or other methods, which can achieve the connection of an odd number of wires (300). The wiring (300) has a certain rigidity and plays a supporting role, which can make a certain distance between two adjacent surface layers. However, the distance should not be too large, otherwise the relative position between adjacent surface layers will be unstable. For example, the distance between surface layers should be greater than or equal to 3 mm and less than or equal to 7 mm, such as 5 mm, in order to provide sufficient water holding capacity and make the water storage fabric structure more stable.
[0037] The air vents on two adjacent surfaces can be seen as providing the inlet and outlet for the airflow, while the wiring (300) can be seen as the sidewall of the flow channel between the inlet and outlet. When the airflow passes between the two surfaces, it will come into contact with the wiring (300) between the surfaces, and then with the moisture held on the wiring (300), thus carrying moisture, increasing the humidity of the airflow, and humidifying the outside air. It can be seen that the density, length, and other configurations of the wiring (300), such as angle and bending amount, will directly affect the water holding capacity of the wiring (300) and the degree of contact between the airflow and the wiring (300), and thus directly affect the water holding capacity of the airflow. By using the different areas of the first air vent (101) and the second air vent (102), more wiring (300) arrangements can be provided as needed. Reducing the area of the air vents can increase the density of the wiring (300), while increasing the area of the air vents can reduce the formation of water film and increase the flow rate. Taking the first air hole (101) having a larger area than the second air hole (102) as an example, the airflow is increased by the larger area of the first air hole (101), and the second air hole (102) has a smaller area, which allows for a more dense arrangement within a limited area, thereby increasing the density of the wiring (40) and the water holding capacity of the wiring (40).
[0038] Furthermore, by using the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) in combination, the shape of the airflow channel and the angle of the wiring (30) can be changed. The distribution of the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) can be varied, such as... Figure 1As shown, the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) can be respectively arranged on different surface layers of the same water-retaining fabric, and the same surface layer can include only pores of a single area or pores of different areas. Figure 4 As shown, the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) can also be distributed on a single surface layer, while the pores on different surface layers can be identical or have different areas. Figure 5-6 As shown, the first air hole (101) and the second air hole (102) can also be respectively arranged on different water storage fabrics of the same water storage component (10), and only one type of air hole area can be provided on the same water storage fabric, or multiple types of air holes with different areas can be provided. It can be understood that the water storage component (10) can include only two types of air holes with different areas, namely the first air hole (101) and the second air hole (102), or it can include more types of air holes, such as the third air hole, the fourth air hole, etc., which can achieve a more flexible arrangement. This application takes the first air hole (101) and the second air hole (102) as examples, and air holes with more areas can also have similar implementation methods.
[0039] It is worth noting that, in order to make the structure more clearly represented in the diagram, this application... Figure 1-4 Only a portion of the structure is shown, and only a portion of the wiring (40) is depicted. The remaining wiring (40) can be configured with reference to the shown portion to form a complete water storage component (10). Meanwhile, the area of the pores, such as the area of the first pore (101) and the second pore (102), refers to the natural area of the water storage component (10) under its natural state, i.e., when it is not subjected to external stretching or compression. When the water storage component (10) is subjected to external force, such as manual pulling or fitting onto an incompatible support frame, if the support frame is too large, the water storage component (10) will be stretched and deformed, and the pore area will undergo unpredictable changes. The pore area configuration of this application and its advantages are based on the natural state of the water storage component (10) or its placement on a matching support, giving the water storage component (10) a stable and relatively controllable form. The stable form of the water storage component (10) is also the form in which the water storage component (10) is normally used under normal circumstances.
[0040] The water storage component and humidifier proposed in this utility model mainly improve airflow by setting first and second air holes on the surface layer. This allows airflow to pass through the holes, increasing the airflow rate. Water is stored through the water-holding lines between different surface layers, ensuring sufficient contact area between the airflow and water, allowing the airflow to carry enough moisture after passing through the water-holding fabric. By setting different areas for the first and second air holes, on the one hand, the larger air holes increase airflow rate, while the smaller air holes increase the density of the water-holding lines, increasing their water retention capacity. On the other hand, the concentrated arrangement of small air holes in certain areas increases the structural strength and water storage capacity of the surface layer. The moisture held in the concentrated area of small air holes can continuously supply the area with larger air holes, ensuring the contact area with the airflow remains consistently moist. Furthermore, the variation in the air holes expands the airflow channel, achieving closer contact between the airflow and the water-holding lines and surface layer through deceleration and pressurization, helping the airflow carry more moisture. Finally, increasing the air hole area based on the airflow direction continuously provides moisture while reducing the formation of a water film in the airflow, thus preventing moisture loss. Compared to pores of a single size, using a combination of pores of different sizes can better balance water retention and flow rate, thus improving humidification efficiency.
[0041] The arrangement of the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) can be varied. Three specific implementation methods are provided below. It is understood that the following implementation methods can appear alone or be used in combination with each other. They can be flexibly adjusted to achieve the desired adjustment.
[0042] Firstly, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the multiple surface layers include at least a first surface layer (31) and a second surface layer (32) arranged adjacent to each other. The first surface layer (31) has a first vent (101) and the second surface layer (32) has a second vent (102).
[0043] That is, the opening areas of at least some of the pores in the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32) are different, providing more possible channel shapes and more ways to arrange the wiring (40) along the airflow path. Taking the example that the area of the second pore (102) is smaller than the area of the first pore (101), and the first surface layer (31) only includes the first pore (101), and the second surface layer (32) only includes the second pore (102). The first pore (101) and at least one second pore (102) are correspondingly arranged. The relative arrangement means that they are interconnected in the airflow direction. They can correspond in a direction perpendicular to the first surface layer (31) or in an inclined direction. Since the area of the second pore (102) is smaller, the first pore (101) will correspond to multiple second pores (102). It can correspond to multiple complete second pores (102) or to a part of one or more second pores (102). The connector (40) extends between the edges of the corresponding first air hole (101) and second air hole (102) to connect the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32), thereby forming an airflow channel between the first air hole (101) and the second air hole (102). The airflow enters between the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32) through the second air hole (102) and contacts the connector (40), carrying the moisture on the connector (40), and then flows out through the first air hole (101). The correspondence between the first air hole (101) and the second air hole (102), as well as the connection method of the connector (40), can be flexibly adjusted to meet different needs. For example, it can be adjusted according to the airflow rate provided by the blower, the viscosity of the water provided to the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32), the required amount, and the thickness of the connector (40).
[0044] Taking the following embodiment as an example, the wiring (40) layout method and the water holding process of airflow are described in detail. The first air hole (101) is an elongated air hole, while the second air hole (102) is an approximately square air hole. A single first air hole (101) corresponds to three second air holes (102) arranged in parallel.
[0045] The connection of the first vent (101) and the second vent (102) allows the wiring (40) to be connected to the edges of the first vent (101) and the second vent (102), thereby changing the angle of the wiring (40) and the shape of the flow channel. In one embodiment, as... Figure 2As shown, the wiring (40) is connected to the edge of the single second air hole (102) corresponding to the first air hole (101). If the wiring (40) is only connected to the edge of the middle air hole among the three second air holes (102), it can be understood that the edge of the middle air hole is shared with the air holes on both sides. The second air hole (102) is located at the front end of the first air hole (101) in the direction of airflow, which means that the airflow first passes through the second air hole (102), comes into contact with the wiring (40), and then flows to the first air hole (101). Since the second air hole (102) is smaller and the first air hole (101) is larger, the airflow channel is approximately funnel-shaped and has an expanding tendency. On the one hand, when the airflow flows from the second vent (102) to the first vent (101), it provides a channel with a larger cross-section. Through the small area of the second vent (102) and the expansion of the flow channel, the airflow is decelerated and pressurized, and a closer contact is achieved with the wiring (40) and the edge of the first vent (101) in the subsequent layer, which helps the airflow carry more moisture. On the other hand, the first vent (101) has a large area, which allows the airflow to flow out smoothly. Specifically, the first vent (101) can be located behind the second vent (102) in the direction of airflow. During the airflow process, the water holding capacity of the airflow will gradually increase. By widening the flow channel and increasing the outlet area, the water film formed at the outlet or the first vent (101) caused by the large water holding capacity of the airflow passing through the smaller outlet can be reduced. On the other hand, as the wires (40) extend towards the second air hole (102), they approach each other, increasing the density of the wires (40) at the second air hole (102). This makes it easier for a water film to form between the wires (40), increasing the water holding capacity of the wires (40) and the contact area between the airflow and the water. Furthermore, because the wires (40) are relatively far from the first air hole (101), they are less likely to have a reduced effective contact area with water due to excessive density. On another hand, by using different air hole sizes, the wires (40) can be arranged at an angle relative to the air holes, allowing the airflow to have a stronger impact on the wires (40), increasing the water holding capacity after the airflow contacts the wires (40). Airflow will also flow into the second air holes (102) located on both sides, colliding with the wires (40) in the direction of airflow, increasing the contact strength between the airflow and the wires (40), further increasing the water holding capacity. At the same time, the inclined layout of the wiring (40) also increases the length of the wiring (40) and the water holding capacity of the wiring (40).
[0046] Alternatively, another implementation method, such as Figure 3As shown, the wiring (40) is connected to the edges of multiple second air holes (102) corresponding to the first air hole (101). For example, the wiring (40) connects the edges of the entire three second air holes (102) and the shared edges of adjacent second air holes (102). Since the widths of the first air hole (101) and the second air hole (102) are the same, only the lengths are different, the wiring (40) leading out from the shared edge of adjacent second air holes (102) can extend to the first air hole (101) in a plane parallel to the airflow direction. With this connection method, the number of wiring (40) can be greatly increased, the water holding capacity and the contact connection with the airflow can be increased, and the wiring (40) will not be too dense, and the contact area with the airflow will not be reduced due to the wiring (40) contacting and squeezing each other.
[0047] In one embodiment, the first surface layer (31) is connected by a first wire, and the second surface layer (32) is connected by a second wire. The strength of the first wire is greater than that of the second wire, so that it is not easily deformed when the mesh opening is large. The water absorption of the second wire is less than that of the first wire, so that water film is not easily formed when the mesh opening is small.
[0048] In a more specific configuration, the first layer (31) can be a large-aperture mesh fabric woven from polyester fibers. The first air hole (101) can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the first air hole (101), or the distance between its two sides, is greater than or equal to 2 mm, allowing airflow to pass smoothly and preventing the formation of a water film. The distance is less than or equal to 5 mm, thereby improving the problem of the sparse stitching (40) and easy deformation. The second layer (32) can be a small-aperture mesh fabric woven from polypropylene fibers. The second air hole (102) can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the second air hole (102), or the distance between its two sides, is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm, allowing airflow to pass smoothly and preventing the formation of a water film. The distance is less than or equal to 2 mm, which, in conjunction with the first air hole (101), produces the aforementioned advantages. The stitching (40) can be polyester filaments with a linear density greater than or equal to 70 filaments / square inch and less than or equal to 80 filaments / square inch, such as 75 filaments / square inch. The distance between the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32) can be 5 mm to achieve a stable relative position between the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32) and to ensure that the wiring (40) has sufficient length.
[0049] Secondly, such as Figure 4 As shown, at least one surface layer is provided with a first pore (101) and a second pore (102).
[0050] In embodiments including a first surface layer (31) and a second surface layer (32), the first surface layer (31) and the second surface layer (32) can have the same structure, i.e., as shown below. Figure 4The structure shown. Alternatively, the structures of the first layer (31) and the second layer (32) can also be different, such as one of them being as shown. Figure 4 The structure shown is one where one only includes a first pore (101) or a second pore (102). The distribution of the first pore (101) and the second pore (102) can be varied, such as a ring of second pores (102) surrounding the first pore (101), or it can be as follows: Figure 4 The middle layer includes multiple large pore regions (120) and multiple small pore regions (110). The large pore region (120) includes multiple first pores (101), and the small pore region (110) includes multiple second pores (102). The small pore regions (110) and the large pore regions (120) are arranged alternately. That is, multiple first pores (101) are arranged in an array to form an area with a certain coverage area, and multiple second pores (102) are arranged in an array to form an area with a certain coverage area. The two regions are arranged alternately. In the embodiment where the water-storing fabric is arc-shaped, the large pore region (120) and the small pore region (110) are long strip-shaped areas extending in the axial direction, and the large pore region (120) and the small pore region (110) are arranged alternately in the circumferential direction. By concentrating the second pores (102) in the small pore region (110), the amount of filament (1011) used in the surface layer is large, and the local wiring (40) is also concentrated, which greatly increases the water storage capacity of the small pore region (110). In addition, the second pores (102) in the small pore region (110) can easily form a water film, thereby retaining water to a greater extent. The large pore region (120) with the concentrated arrangement of the first pores (101) allows a large amount of airflow to pass through, and the airflow will carry the moisture of the large pore region (120). During the moisture consumption process of the wiring (40) in the large pore region (120), the large amount of moisture stored in the small pore region (110) and its corresponding wiring (40) can be continuously supplied to the large pore region (120) and its corresponding wiring (40), thereby ensuring that the large pore region (120) with a large amount of airflow always holds a sufficient amount of moisture.
[0051] Meanwhile, the small pore area (110) achieves high structural strength through its small pore area, resulting in strong local support for the surface layer. This allows the water-storing fabric to withstand stronger external forces without significant deformation, reducing the risk of deformation of the water-storing component (10) over time. Furthermore, it provides better support for the area where the first pore (101) is located, reducing deformation of the first pore (101). For example, when a large amount of water is stored in the water-storing fabric, the first pore (101) located at the lower position is less likely to be squeezed and deformed, ensuring that the first pore (101) has sufficient opening area for airflow.
[0052] In one embodiment, the first surface layer (31) is a mesh fabric woven from polyester fibers. The first air hole (101) on the first surface layer (31) can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the first air hole (101), or the distance between its two sides, is greater than or equal to 3 mm, thereby achieving sufficient gas flow. The distance is less than or equal to 6 mm, thereby improving the structural instability caused by excessively large openings and improving the problem of overly sparse wiring (40). The second air hole (102) on the first surface layer (31) can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the second air hole (102), or the distance between its two sides, is greater than or equal to 1 mm, thereby improving the effective water storage area caused by overly dense wiring (40). The distance is less than or equal to 3 mm, thereby achieving the advantages of the second air hole (102) such as increased strength as mentioned above. The wiring (40) is a polyester filament with a linear density of greater than or equal to 90 filaments / square inch and less than or equal to 110 filaments / square inch, such as 100 filaments / square inch.
[0053] Third, there are multiple water-storing fabrics, which are stacked on top of each other. The multiple water-storing fabrics include at least a first water-storing fabric (21) and a second water-storing fabric (22) that are arranged adjacent to each other. The first water-storing fabric (21) has a first air hole (101), and the second water-storing fabric (22) has a second air hole (102).
[0054] The water-storing fabric is a three-dimensional fabric of a certain thickness comprising at least two surface layers connected by a connector (40). For either the first water-storing fabric (21) or the second water-storing fabric (22), the air pores can be of a single type or multiple types. For example, multiple first air pores (101) further include first large air pores and first small air pores. The first water-storing fabric (21) comprises two surface layers, each with a first large air pore and a first small air pore. Similarly, multiple second air pores (102) further include second large air pores and second small air pores. The second water-storing fabric (22) comprises two surface layers, each with a second large air pore and a second small air pore. The first large air pore, first small air pore, second large air pore, and second small air pore are arranged in ascending order of size in the airflow direction. Alternatively, the first water-retaining fabric (21) and the second water-retaining fabric (22) may have only one type of air hole area, meaning that the areas of the multiple first air holes (101) on the first water-retaining fabric (21) are the same, and the areas of the multiple second air holes (102) on the second water-retaining fabric (22) are also the same. When the area of the first air hole (101) is larger than that of the second air hole (102), the arrangement order of the first water-retaining fabric (21) and the second water-retaining fabric (22) may be such that the first air hole (101) is located at the rear end of the second air hole (102) in the airflow direction. Figure 5As shown, the first water-retaining fabric (21) with a first pore (101) is located inside the second water-retaining fabric (22) with a second pore (102), and the airflow, as indicated by the arrow in the figure, flows from the outside to the inside. Figure 6 As shown, the first water-retaining fabric (21) with a first pore (101) is located behind the second water-retaining fabric (22) with a second pore (102), and the airflow, as indicated by the arrow in the figure, flows from front to back. This improves the situation where, on the one hand, the airflow with a high water content passing through the second water-retaining fabric (22) easily forms a water film when passing through the first pore (101); on the other hand, the flow velocity and pressure will decrease after the airflow passes through the second water-retaining fabric (22), and by setting a larger first pore (101), the airflow can smoothly pass through the first water-retaining fabric (21). The water-retaining fabric is not limited to two; it can also be three or more. The pore areas on some of the water-retaining fabrics can be different, or the pore areas on any two water-retaining fabrics can be different, depending on the needs. Multiple water-retaining fabrics can be arranged as follows: Figure 5 As shown, this is a tightly stacked connection, or, as... Figure 6 As shown, multiple water-storage fabrics are arranged at intervals.
[0055] In one embodiment, the number of water-retaining fabrics is three, namely a first water-retaining fabric (21), a second water-retaining fabric (22), and a third water-retaining fabric. The area of the air holes on the three water-retaining fabrics is different, and the three water-retaining fabrics are stacked. The first water-retaining fabric (21) is a large-aperture mesh fabric. The first air hole (101) on the first water-retaining fabric (21) can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the first air hole (101) or the distance between the two sides is greater than or equal to 4, thereby reducing the resistance to airflow and improving the formation of water film. The distance is less than or equal to 8 mm, which improves the structural instability caused by the first air hole (101) being too large and the problem of the wiring (40) being too sparse. The second water-storing fabric (22) is a medium-diameter mesh fabric. The second air hole (102) on the second water-storing fabric (22) can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the second air hole (102), or the distance between its two sides, is greater than or equal to 2 mm and less than or equal to 5 mm. This provides a moderately sized opening, providing a certain humidification effect while reducing water film formation and air resistance. The third water-storing fabric is a small-diameter mesh fabric. The area of the third air hole on the third water-storing fabric is smaller than the area of the second air hole (102). The third air hole can be a circular or hexagonal opening. The inner diameter of the third air hole, or the distance between its two sides, is greater than or equal to 0.5 mm. This improves the problem of water film formation caused by excessively small openings, improves airflow obstruction and excessive noise. The distance is less than or equal to 2 mm, allowing the wiring (40) to be densely arranged, increasing water holding capacity. The surface layer of the first water-storing fabric (21), the second water-storing fabric (22) and the third water-storing fabric is woven from polyester fiber, the thread (40) is polyester filament, and the linear density of the thread (40) is greater than or equal to 140 threads / square inch and less than or equal to 160 threads / square inch, such as 150 threads / square inch.
[0056] On the other hand, this application also provides a humidifier, including the aforementioned water storage component, as well as a bracket, a water supply device, and a blower. The water supply device may include a water tank and a water pump. The volume of the water tank can be designed comprehensively according to the required humidification time, the humidity of the air being faced, and the volume of the humidifier, such as a capacity of 2 liters. The water pump is used to provide water supply power, and the water pump flow rate can be 200 ml / min. The water pump draws water from the water tank and discharges it into the water storage component (10) by spraying or dripping, thereby wetting the water storage component (10). The blower includes at least a fan, such as a centrifugal fan with a wind speed of 2 m / s. The fan draws air from a preset direction to flow through the water storage component (10), such as a centrifugal fan with a wind speed of 2 m / s. Figure 5 In the middle, the water flows from the outer periphery of the cylindrical storage device (10) inward, or it can be like... Figure 6 As shown, in actual use, the second water-storing fabric (22) can be located below the first water-storing fabric (21), and the airflow blows from bottom to top over the moist water-storing component (10), causing water molecules to float in the air and achieving humidification.
[0057] The humidifier includes an embodiment of at least one of the above-mentioned water storage components (10), and the advantages of including any of the above-mentioned water storage components will not be elaborated here.
