Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidification technology, and in particular to a humidification module for use in automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, there is a growing demand for humidification in car interiors. Among existing humidification technologies, humidifiers, as key devices for regulating indoor humidity, have their working principles and structural designs crucial for enhancing user experience. Traditional humidifiers mostly employ atomization technology, increasing indoor humidity by refining water molecules into tiny droplets and dispersing them into the air. In this process, the atomizing tank, as the core component for generating mist, is often equipped with a blower above it to accelerate mist diffusion. However, early humidifier designs had some shortcomings in the layout of the blower. Specifically, the blower's outlet channel often faced directly towards the side wall of the atomizing tank. This design easily led to mist accumulation inside the humidifier, preventing effective delivery to other areas of the room, thus affecting humidification efficiency and user experience. Furthermore, the mist from humidifiers typically has a temperature of 30 to 40 degrees Celsius, which can raise the temperature in the confined space of a car. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a humidification module for automobiles to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The technical solution adopted to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows:

[0005] This utility model provides a humidification module for automobiles, including a humidification body and an atomizing component. The humidification body has an atomizing chamber with an atomizing groove at the bottom. The upper side wall of the atomizing chamber has an atomizing outlet and an air outlet. The air outlet is correspondingly provided with an air supply channel, which is arranged in a serpentine curve. The outlet of the air supply channel faces the bottom of the atomizing groove and is lower than the atomizing outlet. The humidification body has a water inlet, the atomizing groove has a cooling component, and the air supply channel has a fan. The atomizing component is located in the atomizing groove.

[0006] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0007] During atomization, a fan draws air into the atomization chamber through the air supply channel, causing the mist to be ejected from the atomization outlet. The air outlet faces the atomization tank, and the air blowing downwards from the outlet agitates the mist within the atomization chamber, accelerating its flow and directing it towards the atomization outlet. This allows more mist to enter the outlet, resulting in better atomization. The curved air supply channel enhances turbulent mixing, leading to a more uniform distribution of atomized particles. A cooling component further reduces the mist temperature, creating a more comfortable environment within the confined space of the car.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the atomizing component includes multiple atomizing units, all of which are arranged in the atomizing groove.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, multiple atomizing units are arranged in an array.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the corner of the air supply channel has an arc-shaped transition.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the atomizing outlet and the air outlet are arranged opposite to each other.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the atomizing tank is equipped with a liquid level sensor and a temperature sensor.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 3 The present invention provides an embodiment of a humidification module for automobiles:

[0028] In some embodiments, a humidification module for automobiles includes a humidification body 100 and an atomizing component. The humidification body 100 has an atomizing chamber 110, an atomizing groove 120 at the bottom of the atomizing chamber 110, an atomizing outlet 130 and an air outlet 140 on the upper side wall of the atomizing chamber 110, and an air supply channel 150 correspondingly provided in the air supply channel 150, which is equipped with a fan 200. The atomizing component is disposed in the atomizing groove 120. During atomization, the fan 200 draws air from the air supply channel 150 into the atomizing chamber 110, driving the mist to be sprayed out from the atomizing outlet 130, ultimately reaching the interior space of the vehicle to increase the humidity inside the vehicle.

[0029] The atomizing outlet 130 and the air outlet 140 are arranged opposite each other, which facilitates the smooth delivery of mist. The air outlet 140 is correspondingly provided with an air supply channel 150. The outlet of the air supply channel 150 faces the bottom of the atomizing tank 120, which can prevent the air blown out of the air outlet 140 from directly blowing into the atomizing outlet 130 without carrying enough mist. The air outlet of the air supply channel 150 faces the atomizing tank 120. The air blown out of the air outlet 140 blows downward, which can agitate the mist in the atomizing chamber 110, accelerate the flow of the mist, and flow towards the atomizing outlet 130, so that more mist can enter the atomizing outlet 130 and the misting effect is better. The outlet of the air supply channel 150 is lower than the atomizing outlet 130, which can prevent the air blown out of the air outlet 140 from directly blowing into the atomizing outlet 130 without carrying enough mist.

[0030] An extension 151 is provided on the side of the outlet end of the air supply channel 150 away from the air outlet 140. The extension 151 extends to the highest water level near the atomizing tank 120, which can prevent the air blown out of the air outlet 140 from blowing directly into the atomizing outlet 130 without bringing a lot of mist, thus increasing the mist disturbance and allowing the mist in the atomizer to be blown more effectively.

[0031] The air supply duct 150 is arranged in a serpentine bend, as shown in the reference. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, where, Figure 3 The bends in the air supply channel 150 are curved to guide airflow and reduce energy loss. The curved air supply channel 150 also increases turbulent mixing, resulting in a more uniform distribution of atomized particles.

[0032] The atomizing tank 120 is equipped with a cooling component 700, so the temperature of the atomized water is relatively low. That is, the atomizing plate atomizes water at a low temperature, and the resulting mist is at a low temperature. The low mist temperature makes the temperature in the small space of the car more comfortable, meeting people's needs to use the humidification function without affecting the temperature inside the car.

[0033] In order to meet different humidification power requirements, the atomizing component includes multiple atomizing units 300, which are all arranged in the atomizing tank 120.

[0034] The adjustable atomization system can flexibly generate different levels of atomization by controlling the number of atomizing units 300, thereby precisely meeting users' diverse humidity needs. This design not only enhances the user experience but also demonstrates a high degree of intelligence and personalization.

[0035] Multiple atomizing units 300 can be used alternately, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the atomization system and effectively extending the service life of each atomizing element. By distributing the workload, we avoid the problem of premature wear of a single atomizing element due to prolonged continuous operation, thereby reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0036] In terms of layout, multiple atomizing units 300 are arranged in an array, operating independently without interfering with each other. Each atomizing unit is equipped with a dedicated independent drive module, meaning they can be started, stopped, and have their atomization volume adjusted independently without affecting the normal operation of other units. This design greatly reduces the complexity of circuit control, making the management and maintenance of the entire atomization system simpler and more efficient.

[0037] By precisely controlling the number of atomizing units, adopting a rotating working mechanism, and optimizing the layout design, the atomizing system not only meets users' diverse humidity needs but also significantly improves the lifespan of the atomizing plates and the overall performance of the system.

[0038] Prolonged operation of multiple high-density atomizing plates can easily lead to localized overheating, affecting their lifespan and stability. This embodiment also incorporates a cooling component 700, resulting in a relatively low atomized water temperature. The cooling component 700 simultaneously reduces the temperature of the atomizing plates, facilitating heat dissipation, extending their lifespan, and improving their operational stability. The cooling component 700 effectively solves the heat dissipation problem of the atomizing plates, particularly addressing the issue of localized overheating that can occur with prolonged operation of multiple high-density atomizing plates.

[0039] The atomizing tank 120 is equipped with a liquid level sensor 400, which is used to detect the water level in the atomizing tank 120. Multiple liquid level sensors 400 are provided, for example, two, to detect the low and high water levels respectively. The low-level sensor reminds the user to add water, reducing the risk of "dry burning" or a sudden drop in atomization efficiency due to low liquid level. The high-level sensor detects the highest water level to prevent excessive water from affecting normal operation. It can also be used in conjunction with the water inlet valve 170 to achieve automatic water addition. When the low-level sensor detects that the water level is too low, it controls the water inlet valve 170 to open and automatically add water. When the high-level sensor detects that the water level has reached the highest level, it controls the water inlet valve 170 to close and stop automatic water addition.

[0040] The atomizing tank 120 is equipped with a temperature sensor 500 for detecting the liquid temperature. The working power of the cooling component 700 can be adjusted based on the feedback from the temperature sensor 500.

[0041] The humidifying body 100 is provided with a water inlet 160, and the water inlet 160 is provided with a water inlet valve 170, which can be a solenoid valve or other types of valves. The water inlet 160 is connected to the water tank 600. In this embodiment, the water tank 600 is located on the upper side of the humidifying body 100. In actual use, the water tank 600 and the humidifying body 100 can also be set separately and connected by a pipe. Those skilled in the art can configure it according to the actual situation. The water tank 600 is provided with a water cover to prevent dust.

[0042] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
