Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidifier control technology, specifically a control circuit for a waterless mist humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifiers are a common household appliance, mainly used to increase the humidity of indoor air and improve dry environments. They have many benefits for human health and the indoor environment. Traditional humidifiers mostly use ultrasonic vibration or heating evaporation to produce water mist, thereby increasing air humidity.

[0003] However, ultrasonic humidifiers are prone to producing "white powder" phenomenon, which means that minerals such as calcium and magnesium ions in the water diffuse into the air with the water mist, which not only pollutes the air, but may also irritate the human respiratory tract, thereby reducing human comfort.

[0004] Heated humidifiers consume more energy and cannot be adjusted during the heating process, making them inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention provides a waterless mist humidifier control circuit to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] A power module for converting 220V AC mains power into 24V DC power;

[0009] A humidity detection module is used to detect humidity and convert the detected humidity signal into a humidity electrical signal.

The control module controls the motor drive module to work by comparing humidity electrical signals and outputting a control signal. The output terminal of the motor drive module is connected to a fan motor.

[0012] A heating element driving module, wherein the input terminal of the heating element driving module is electrically connected to the corresponding output terminal of the control module, and the output terminal of the heating element driving module is electrically connected to the PCT heating tube.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the control circuit of the waterless mist humidifier further includes a display module, which is electrically connected to the control module.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] (1) In this utility model, when the humidity detection module detects the ambient humidity, it converts it into a humidity electrical signal and inputs it to the control module. The control module compares and analyzes the received humidity electrical signal with the humidity threshold set inside the control module. Based on the analysis results, when the ambient humidity is low, the control module outputs a signal to increase the speed of the fan motor to accelerate airflow. At the same time, according to the instructions of the control module, the heating element drive module adjusts the heating power of the PCT heating tube to quickly increase the rate of water evaporation, thereby enhancing the humidification effect.

At the same time, according to the instructions of the control module, the heating element drive module will adjust the heating power of the PCT heating tube to reduce the moisture evaporation rate, thereby maintaining a stable humidification amount.

[0022] Therefore, by collecting humidity data, the heating power of the fan motor and PCT heating element can be controlled, thereby reducing energy consumption and improving air comfort. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Figure 1 This is a block diagram illustrating the working principle of the circuit of this utility model. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] For an example, please refer to... Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A waterless mist humidifier control circuit includes:

[0027] Power module 1, which is used to convert 220V AC mains power into 24V DC;

[0028] Humidity detection module 7, which is used to detect humidity and convert the detected humidity signal into a humidity electrical signal;

[0029] The control module 6 has its power input terminal electrically connected to DC 24V, and its corresponding input terminal electrically connected to the humidity detection module 7, and is used to receive humidity electrical signals.

[0030] The motor drive module 22 has its input terminal electrically connected to the corresponding output terminal of the control module 6. The control module 6 controls the motor drive module 2 to work by comparing the humidity electrical signal and outputting a control signal. The output terminal of the motor drive module 2 is connected to the fan motor 3.

[0031] A heating element driving module 8, the input terminal of which is electrically connected to the corresponding output terminal of the control module 6, and the output terminal of which is electrically connected to the PCT heating tube 9;

[0032] When the humidity detection module 7 detects the ambient humidity, it converts it into a humidity electrical signal and inputs it to the control module 6. The control module 6 compares and analyzes the received humidity electrical signal with the humidity threshold set inside the control module 6. Based on the analysis results, when the ambient humidity is low, the control module 6 outputs a signal to increase the speed of the fan motor 3 to accelerate airflow. At the same time, according to the instructions of the control module 6, the heating element drive module 8 adjusts the heating power of the PCT heating tube 9 to quickly increase the moisture evaporation rate, thereby enhancing the humidification effect.

[0037] The motor drive module 2 adjusts the speed of the fan motor 3 according to the control signal output by the control module 6. When the ambient humidity is low, the control module 6 outputs a signal to increase the speed of the fan motor 3, accelerate air flow, and enhance the humidification effect. When the humidity is close to the preset value, the speed of the fan motor 3 is reduced to maintain a stable humidification amount and avoid over-humidification. The fan motor 3 drive module 2 adopts PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) technology to achieve precise control of the speed of the fan motor 3, while reducing energy consumption.

The heating element drive module 8 is connected to the control module 6 and the PCT heating element 9, and adjusts the heating power of the PCT heating element 9 according to the instructions of the control module 6. In the initial humidification stage, the heating power is increased to quickly increase the water evaporation rate. As the humidity rises, the heating power is gradually reduced to maintain a stable evaporation rate and ensure the high efficiency and energy saving of the humidification process.

[0040] Among them, the heating element drive module 8 can be ULN2003, TLP250, STG IPM60HC60D, etc.

[0041] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown: The control circuit of the waterless mist humidifier also includes a display module, which is electrically connected to the control module 6;

[0042] The display module is a screen used to display the current ambient humidity, the humidifier's working status (such as running, standby, fault, etc.), and preset humidity values ​​in real time, allowing users to understand the information intuitively. In addition, users can input control commands through operation buttons (or touch panel), such as setting the target humidity, switching working modes (such as normal mode, sleep mode, etc.), and turning the humidifier on or off. This module is connected to the control module 6 to transmit user operation signals to the control module 6, realizing human-machine interaction.

[0043] The beneficial effects and working principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0044] 1. When the humidity detection module 7 detects the ambient humidity, it converts it into a humidity electrical signal and inputs it to the control module 6. The control module 6 compares and analyzes the received humidity electrical signal with the humidity threshold set inside the control module 6.

[0047] 4. When the humidity approaches the preset threshold of the control module 6, the control module 6 will control the fan motor 3 drive module 2 to reduce the speed of the fan motor 3.

[0048] 5. At the same time, according to the instructions of the control module 6, the heating element drive module 8 adjusts the heating power of the PCT heating tube 9 to reduce the rate of water evaporation, thereby maintaining a stable humidification.
