Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to an ozone generator and a humidification device. Background Technology

[0002] Ozone has strong oxidizing properties and has been widely used in sterilization and deodorization.

[0003] Currently, ozone production methods can be categorized into radiochemical methods, corona discharge methods, ultraviolet irradiation methods, and electrolysis methods. Among these, the electrolysis method is widely used due to its advantages such as high ozone concentration, no secondary pollutant generation, simple equipment, small size, and ease of maintenance. After ozone is generated through water electrolysis, it dissolves in water to form ozone water, which has functions such as sterilization, bleaching, and degradation of organic matter. Ozone water is widely used in wastewater treatment and microbial disinfection in indoor environments.

[0004] In related technologies, in devices that generate ozone through electrolysis, factors such as electrode heating and low ozone solubility limit the amount of ozone dissolved in water, resulting in a low ozone content in the ozone water and thus affecting the sterilization effect of the ozone water. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes an ozone generator with high ozone solubility.

[0006] This application also proposes a humidification device.

[0008] In this application, the electrolyte can flow from the inlet through the reaction chamber and then be discharged from the outlet. When the electrolyte flows through the turbulence section, the turbulence in the electrolyte can be increased. By enhancing the turbulence of the water flow (i.e., the flowing electrolyte), the diffusion effect of ozone in the electrolyte is enhanced, thereby achieving efficient mixing of ozone and water and improving uniformity. This effectively increases the ozone concentration in the water after electrolysis and improves the sterilization and disinfection performance of the ozone water produced by electrolysis.

[0009] According to some embodiments of this application, the turbulence portion is constructed as a turbulence protrusion, which is disposed on the inner wall of the housing and protrudes from the inner wall of the housing toward the electrolysis module side.

[0011] According to some embodiments of this application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the turbulence protrusion gradually decreases in the protruding direction of the turbulence protrusion.

[0012] According to some embodiments of this application, there are multiple turbulence protrusions, and the multiple turbulence protrusions are arranged in an array within the reaction chamber.

[0013] According to some embodiments of this application, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are respectively located at both ends of the housing in a first direction. The turbulence-disrupting part has multiple arc-shaped surfaces, the arc-shaped openings of the arc-shaped surfaces face the side of the electrolysis module, and the multiple arc-shaped surfaces are arranged sequentially along the first direction. A protruding structure that rises towards the side of the electrolysis module is defined between any two adjacent arc-shaped surfaces.

[0034] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0035] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 An ozone generator 100 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0036] An ozone generator 100 according to an embodiment of this application includes a housing 1 and an electrolysis module 2. The housing 1 has a reaction chamber 101, and the electrolysis module 2 is disposed within the reaction chamber 101. The electrolysis module 2 is used to electrolyze with the electrolyte in the reaction chamber 101 to generate ozone within the reaction chamber 101. The ozone is soluble in the electrolyte, thereby increasing the ozone content in the electrolyte. The electrolyte can be water or an aqueous solution (e.g., an acidic solution). No specific limitation is made to the type of electrolyte here, and in this example, water is used as the electrolyte for description.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the housing 1 is provided with an inlet 102 and an outlet 103. The inlet 102 is used for the electrolyte to enter the reaction chamber 101, and the outlet 103 is used for the electrolyte to be discharged from the reaction chamber 101. Water entering the reaction chamber 101 through the inlet 102 generates ozone after contacting and interacting with the electrolysis module 2. The ozone dissolves in water to form ozone water, which is discharged from the housing 1 through the outlet 103.

[0038] Understandably, ozone possesses strong oxidizing properties and has been widely used in sterilization and deodorization. Currently, ozone preparation methods can be categorized into radiochemical methods, corona discharge methods, ultraviolet irradiation methods, and electrolysis methods. Among these, the electrolysis method is widely adopted due to its advantages such as high ozone concentration, no secondary pollutant generation, simple equipment, small size, and ease of maintenance. After ozone is generated through water electrolysis, it dissolves in water to form ozone water, which has functions such as sterilization, bleaching, and degradation of organic matter. Ozone water is widely used in wastewater treatment and microbial disinfection in indoor environments.

[0039] In the ozone generator 100 of this application embodiment, the ozone water discharged through the outlet 103 can be applied to sewage treatment and microbial disinfection in the indoor environment according to usage requirements. For example, when the ozone generator 100 of this application is applied to a humidification device, the ozone water can be supplied to other modules in the humidification device (such as: heating module, atomization module, water storage module, etc.), thereby realizing the sterilization function of the humidification device through ozone water. The ozone water can be used to sterilize the liquid medium in the water storage module of the humidification device, and the ozone water can be atomized and transported to the indoor environment to disinfect microorganisms, thereby realizing the sterilization and humidification function of the humidification device.

[0040] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the shell 1 is provided with a turbulence-inducing part 11. The turbulence-inducing part 11 is fixed in position relative to the shell 1, and the turbulence-inducing part 11 can agitate the electrolyte when it flows through the turbulence-inducing part 11, causing the pressure in the flowing electrolyte to change, thereby generating a cavitation effect. The cavitation effect will cause shear force to be generated in the reaction chamber 101, which will further refine the ozone bubbles and increase the surface area of ​​the ozone bubbles. Furthermore, the impact between the electrolyte and the turbulence-inducing part 11 will enhance the turbulence of the electrolyte, weaken the thickness of the gas film and liquid film, thereby enhancing the mass transfer of ozone and increasing the ozone concentration in the water.

[0041] The turbulence-inducing part 11 is disposed on the shell 1 as a turbulence-inducing structure, and its position relative to the shell 1 remains unchanged. It can be understood that the flow path of the electrolyte in the shell 1 is the inlet 102, the reaction chamber 101, and the outlet 103. That is, the electrolyte flows relative to the shell 1, thereby achieving relative movement between the electrolyte and the turbulence-inducing part 11. Furthermore, after the electrolyte comes into contact with the turbulence-inducing part 11, the turbulence-inducing part 11 enhances the turbulence of the electrolyte and strengthens the ozone diffusion effect, thus helping to improve the efficient mixing and uniformity of ozone and electrolyte.

[0042] It should be noted that during the process of ozone diffusion into the liquid, due to the influence of mass transfer resistance, it needs to pass through the gas phase, gas film, liquid film, and liquid phase sequentially before dissolving in water to form ozone water. In this application, by using a flowing electrolyte in conjunction with the turbulence section 11, the ozone bubbles can be further refined, and the effect of ozone gas dissolving in water can be improved by reducing the thickness of the gas film and liquid film, thus helping to improve the ozone dissolution efficiency.

[0043] Currently, in devices that produce ozone through electrolysis, the amount of ozone dissolved in water is limited by factors such as electrode heating and low ozone solubility, resulting in a low ozone content in the ozone water and thus affecting its sterilization effect.

[0044] In this application, the electrolyte can flow from the inlet 102 through the reaction chamber 101 and then be discharged from the outlet 103. When the electrolyte flows through the turbulence section 11, the turbulence in the electrolyte can be increased. By enhancing the degree of turbulence of the water flow (i.e. the flowing electrolyte), the diffusion effect of ozone in the electrolyte is enhanced, thereby achieving efficient mixing of ozone and water and improving uniformity. This effectively increases the ozone concentration in the water after electrolysis and improves the sterilization and disinfection performance of the ozone water generated by electrolysis.

[0045] In some embodiments of this application, the turbulence portion 11 is constructed as a turbulence protrusion 111. The turbulence protrusion 111 is disposed on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the turbulence protrusion 111 protrudes from the inner wall of the housing 1 toward the electrolysis module 2 side, so that the inner wall of the housing 1 used to define the reaction chamber 101 has a protruding structure (i.e., the aforementioned turbulence protrusion 111). When the electrolyte flows through the turbulence protrusion 111, the electrolyte can increase the turbulence formed in the electrolyte under the action of the turbulence protrusion 111, so that the electrolyte can have more intense contact with the electrolysis module 2, which helps the electrolyte to fully mix with the ozone formed at the electrolysis module 2.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the turbulence protrusion 111 is integrally formed with the housing 1, thereby eliminating the need to install the turbulence protrusion 111 with the housing 1, saving assembly steps and reducing assembly difficulty of the ozone generator 100.

[0047] In some other embodiments of this application, the turbulence protrusion 111 is separately disposed from the housing 1. That is, the turbulence protrusion 111 needs to be installed and fixed on the inner wall of the housing 1 so that the housing 1 can fix the position of the turbulence protrusion 111 in the reaction chamber 101. The assembly method of the turbulence protrusion 111 and the housing 1 is not specifically limited here, including but not limited to snap-fit, plug-in, etc.

[0048] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, one end of the turbulence protrusion 111 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 1 to achieve a fixed fit between the turbulence protrusion 111 and the housing 1, and the other end of the turbulence protrusion 111 in the protrusion direction is spaced apart from the electrolysis module 2 to prevent interference between the turbulence protrusion 111 and the electrolysis module 2.

[0049] It is understandable that when the turbulence protrusion 111 is arranged at intervals with the electrolysis module 2, a gap can be reserved between the turbulence protrusion 111 and the electrolysis module 2. The gap allows the electrolyte to pass through, and the electrolyte can pass through the gap at a faster flow rate under the action of the turbulence protrusion 111, thereby improving the flushing effect of the electrolyte on the electrolysis module 2 and helping to improve the dissolution effect of ozone in the electrolyte.

[0050] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the turbulence protrusion 111 is constructed as a columnar structure.

[0051] It should be noted that the columnar structure can be constructed as a prism, cylinder, irregular column, etc. The specific shape of the turbulence protrusion 111 is not limited to the columnar structure mentioned above. That is to say, the turbulence protrusion 111 only needs to have the effect of agitating the flowing electrolyte, such as a hemisphere, pyramid, etc.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the cross-sectional area of ​​the turbulence protrusion 111 gradually decreases in the protruding direction of the turbulence protrusion 111. As a result, the electrolyte can be better guided to one side of the electrolysis module 2 under the action of the turbulence protrusion 111, thereby improving the flushing effect of the electrolyte on the electrolysis module 2 and helping to improve the dissolution effect of ozone in the electrolyte.

[0053] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, there are multiple turbulence protrusions 111, which are arranged in an array within the reaction chamber 101. This allows the multiple turbulence protrusions 111 to agitate the electrolyte, thereby helping to further improve the water flow fluctuation of the electrolyte, increase turbulence, enhance the solubility of ozone in water, and increase the concentration of ozone in water.

[0054] Reference Figure 2 As shown in some specific embodiments of this application, multiple turbulence protrusions 111 are divided into multiple groups in the reaction chamber 101. Each group of turbulence protrusions 111 includes three non-collinear three-point arrangements. The liquid inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 103 are respectively located at both ends of the housing 1 in the first direction. The multiple groups of turbulence protrusions 111 are also arranged sequentially along the first direction, so that the multiple groups of turbulence protrusions 111 can respectively agitate the electrolyte flowing into the reaction chamber 101 through the liquid inlet 102 and flowing towards the liquid outlet 103 in the electrolyte flow path.

[0055] Reference Figure 2 As shown, the electrolysis module 2 is constructed as a plate-like structure, and includes an anode plate 22 and a cathode plate 21 stacked on top of each other. When multiple turbulence protrusions 111 are provided in the reaction chamber 101, the multiple turbulence protrusions 111 can be respectively arranged on both sides of the electrolysis module 2 in the thickness direction, thereby achieving a stirring effect on the electrolyte flowing on both sides of the electrolysis module 2.

[0056] It should be noted that the arrangement of the disturbance protrusions in the reaction chamber 101 can be set according to the size of the reaction chamber 101, the arrangement position of the electrolysis module 2 in the reaction chamber 101, and other parameters, in order to improve the dissolution effect of ozone in the electrolyte. For example, multiple disturbance protrusions 111 can be arranged on the same side of the electrolysis module 2 in the thickness direction, or multiple disturbance protrusions 111 can be arranged on both sides of the electrolysis module 2 in the thickness direction.

[0057] When multiple turbulence protrusions 111 are arranged on the same side of the electrolysis module 2, it is preferable to arrange the multiple turbulence protrusions 111 on one side of the anode plate 22 of the electrolysis module 2. The turbulence protrusions 111 agitate the electrolyte flowing on one side of the anode plate 22 of the electrolysis module 2, thereby enabling the electrolyte to wash the surface of the anode plate 22, which helps to improve the dissolution effect of ozone gas in the electrolyte.

[0058] Understandably, as water flows through the electrolysis module 2 during operation, oxygen and hydrogen are generated. The oxygen can be further oxidized into ozone at the anode plate 22, thus generating ozone gas there. Consequently, the turbulence protrusion 111 ensures sufficient contact between the electrolyte and the anode plate 22, facilitating the mixing of ozone escaping from the anode plate 22 with the water in the electrolyte, thereby increasing the ozone content in the electrolyte.

[0059] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the liquid inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 103 are respectively provided at both ends of the housing 1 in the first direction. The turbulence part 11 has a plurality of arc-shaped surfaces 112, and the arc-shaped openings of the arc-shaped surfaces 112 face the side of the electrolysis module 2. Moreover, the plurality of arc-shaped surfaces 112 are arranged sequentially along the first direction, and a protruding structure that rises towards the side of the electrolysis module 2 is defined between any two adjacent arc-shaped surfaces 112.

[0060] When the electrolyte flows through the turbulence section 11, under the action of the arc-shaped surface 112, the electrolyte can flow to one side of the electrolysis module 2, so that the electrolyte can wash the surface of the electrolysis module 2, thereby disturbing the mixing of ozone gas with water in the electrolyte through the turbulence section, increasing the solubility of ozone in water.

[0061] Reference Figure 5 As shown, in the reaction chamber 101, the electrolysis module 2 is arranged in the middle region of the reaction chamber 101, and the plate-shaped electrolysis module 2 is arranged along the first direction. The opening of the arc-shaped surface 112 is open towards the anode plate 22 or cathode plate 21 in the electrolysis module 2. That is to say, the flow path of the electrolyte in the reaction chamber 101 is defined by the inner wall surface of the shell 1 (including the arc-shaped surface 112) and the outer surface of the electrolysis module 2. On the flow path of the electrolyte from the inlet 102 to the outlet 103, the flow cross-sectional size is the smallest at the intersection of the two arc-shaped surfaces 112, so that the cross-sectional size of the electrolyte flow in the reaction chamber 101 can continuously change in the first direction, thereby enhancing the turbulence in the electrolyte and allowing the electrolyte to wash the surface of the electrolysis module 2.

[0062] It is understandable that in the shell 1, the electrolyte in the reaction chamber 101 flows from the inlet 102 to the outlet 103. Since the inlet 102 and the outlet 103 form the two ends of the shell 1 in the first direction, the main flow trend of the electrolyte in the reaction chamber 101 is from the inlet 102 to the outlet 103 along the first direction. That is to say, during the process of the electrolyte in the reaction chamber 101 flowing from the inlet 102 to the outlet 103, it will cooperate with multiple arc-shaped surfaces 112, so that the electrolyte has multiple scouring motions of the electrolysis module 2 in the flow path, which can enhance the turbulence of the electrolyte flow and enhance the diffusion effect, thereby achieving efficient mixing of ozone and water and improving uniformity, effectively increasing the ozone concentration in the electrolyte after electrolysis.

[0063] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a recessed structure is formed on the outer side of the housing 1, and the shape of the recessed structure is adapted to the shape of the arc surface 112 at the turbulence portion 11, thereby making the wall thickness of the housing 1 uniform, and saving the material used in the housing 1 and reducing the manufacturing cost of the housing 1.

[0064] Reference Figure 5 Multiple recessed structures are formed on the shell 1. Each recessed structure is recessed at the outer wall of the shell 1 into the connection area between two adjacent arcuate surfaces 112, thereby making the outer wall surface of the side wall of the shell 1 forming the turbulence part 11 wavy. In other words, the outer wall surface of the area corresponding to the turbulence part 11 in the shell 1 is composed of multiple continuously arranged arcuate surfaces 112.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, the electrolysis module 2 includes a cathode plate 21, an anode plate 22, and an electrolyte membrane 23. The cathode plate 21 and the anode plate 22 are disposed opposite to each other, and an opening 221 is provided in the anode plate 22 through the thickness direction. The electrolyte membrane 23 is sandwiched between the cathode plate 21 and the anode plate 22.

[0066] Specifically, the opening 221 on the anode plate 22 increases the contact area between the anode plate 22 and the electrolyte, and ozone can also be generated and released at the opening 221. When the flowing electrolyte cooperates with the turbulence section 11, the electrolyte can scour the anode plate 22. At the opening 221 of the anode plate 22, the pressure in the flowing liquid can be further changed, generating a cavitation effect. This cavitation effect can cause shear force to be generated in the reaction chamber 101, further refining the ozone bubbles and increasing their surface area. Furthermore, the strong impact enhances the turbulence of the electrolyte, weakening the thickness of the gas and liquid films, thereby strengthening ozone mass transfer and helping to increase the ozone concentration in the electrolyte.

[0067] Understandably, the flowing electrolyte can be flushed toward the anode plate 22 by the turbulence section 11. Since the anode plate 22 has an opening 221, the impact generated when the electrolyte flushes toward the opening 221 is stronger, which can enhance the turbulence formed at the opening 221, help weaken the gas film and liquid film, improve the ozone dissolution effect in the electrolyte, and increase the ozone concentration in the electrolyte.

[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the anode plate 22 may be made of boron-doped diamond (BDD), the electrolyte membrane 23 is a solid polymer electrolyte membrane 23, and the cathode plate 21 and the anode plate 22 are respectively tightly attached to the electrolyte membrane 23. When the electrolyte flows through the electrolysis module 2, ozone gas can be generated on one side of the anode plate 22.

[0069] like Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments of this application, the liquid inlet 102 and the liquid outlet 103 are respectively located at both ends of the housing 1 in the first direction, and the cathode plate 21 and the anode plate 22 are arranged parallel to the first direction, thereby reducing the resistance generated by the electrolysis module 2 to the flow of electrolyte.

[0070] It is understood that the electrolyte enters the reaction chamber 101 through the inlet 102, and the electrolyte can flow from both sides of the electrolysis module 2 in the thickness direction to the outlet 103. The flow-dissipating parts 11 on the housing 1 are disposed on both sides of the electrolysis module 2 in the thickness direction, so that the flow-dissipating parts 11 are correspondingly arranged with the electrolysis module 2. This allows the electrolyte to flush the electrolysis module 2 under the action of the flow-dissipating parts 11, thereby facilitating the dissolution of ozone in the electrolyte.

[0071] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in a further embodiment of this application, the electrolysis module 2 divides the reaction chamber 101 to form a first sub-cavity 1011 and a second sub-cavity 1012 located on both sides of the electrolysis module 2 in the thickness direction, and the first sub-cavity 1011 and the second sub-cavity 1012 are interconnected.

[0072] The first sub-cavity 1011 is located on the side of the anode plate 22 away from the cathode plate 21, and the liquid inlet 102 is connected to the first sub-cavity 1011. The second sub-cavity 1012 is located on the side of the cathode plate 21 away from the anode plate 22, and the liquid outlet 103 is connected to the second sub-cavity 1012.

[0073] It should be noted that the connection between the first sub-cavity 1011 and the second sub-cavity 1012 can be located in the gap between the electrolysis module 2 and the inner wall of the housing 1. When the electrolysis module 2 is arranged in the reaction chamber 101, it maintains a side-standing arrangement. The channel connecting the first sub-cavity 1011 and the second sub-cavity 1012 can be formed on one or more sides of the electrolysis module 2 in the circumferential direction. For example, between the upper sidewall of the electrolysis module 2 and the inner top wall of the housing 1, between the lower sidewall of the electrolysis module 2 and the inner bottom wall of the housing 1, between the sidewall of the electrolysis module 2 near the inlet 102 and the inner wall of the housing 1 (i.e., the wall surface on the side where the inlet 102 is formed), and between the sidewall of the electrolysis module 2 near the outlet 103 and the inner wall of the housing 1 (i.e., the wall surface on the side where the outlet 103 is formed).

[0074] In some embodiments of this application, when the ozone device is applied in a humidification device, the inlet 102 is located below the outlet 103, so that the electrolyte entering the reaction chamber 101 through the inlet 102 can be discharged from the outlet 103 after fully filling the reaction chamber 101, so that the electrolyte can fully contact the electrolysis module 2, which helps to generate ozone and improve the dissolution effect of ozone in the electrolyte.

[0075] In some embodiments of this application, the flow diameter of the outlet 103 is larger than that of the inlet 102 to ensure the effective supply of electrolyte to the reaction chamber 101.

[0076] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments of this application, a fixing member 3 is provided in the reaction chamber 101. The fixing member 3 is connected between the inner wall surface of the housing 1 and the electrolysis module 2, so as to fix the electrolysis module 2 in the reaction chamber 101 by the fixing member 3, thereby improving the reliability of the arrangement of the electrolysis module 2 in the reaction chamber 101.

[0077] In a further embodiment of this application, the fixing member 3 can be constructed as a fixing post, with one end of the fixing post connected to the inner wall surface of the housing 1 and the other end of the fixing post connected to the electrolysis module 2. The connection method between the fixing post and the housing 1, and between the fixing post and the electrolysis module 2, is not specifically limited here, and includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, abutment, etc.

[0078] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, multiple fixing members 3 are provided in the reaction chamber 101. Taking the reaction chamber 101 with two fixing members 3 as an example, one fixing member 3 is connected between the inner wall surface of the housing 1 and the anode plate 22, and the other fixing member 3 is connected between the inner wall surface of the housing 1 and the cathode plate 21, so that the position of the electrolysis module 2 in the housing 1 is fixed by the fixing members 3.

[0079] In some other embodiments of this application, the inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a plug-in groove, which is used to plug into the electrolysis module 2 to fix the electrolysis module 2 in the reaction chamber 101 of the housing 1. The connection method is simple and highly reliable.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the housing 1 is provided with a positioning structure in the reaction chamber 101. The positioning structure is used to cooperate with the electrolysis module 2 for positioning the position of the electrolysis module 2 in the reaction chamber 101.

[0081] The ozone generator 100 according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following advantages over the prior art:

[0082] (1) The ozone generator 100 has a turbulence section 11 inside the housing 1. The turbulence section 11 can agitate the flowing electrolyte, thereby increasing the water flow fluctuation and turbulence of the electrolyte, which can improve the dissolution effect of ozone gas in the electrolyte, thereby increasing the concentration of ozone in the electrolyte and improving the sterilization and disinfection performance of the ozone water generated by electrolysis.

[0083] (2) An opening 221 is provided at the anode plate 22. The opening further enhances the local cooperation effect between the electrolysis module 2 and the electrolyte, so that the electrolyte can more intensely flush the opening 221 of the anode plate 22. This helps to mix the ozone overflowing from the anode plate 22 with the electrolyte and increase the ozone content in the water after electrolysis.

[0084] The humidification device 1000 according to an embodiment of this application includes the ozone generator 100 described above.

[0085] The humidifier 1000 and the ozone generator 100 have the same advantages over the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.

[0086] In a further embodiment of this application, the humidification device 1000 has a water inlet structure, the water inlet structure forms a water inlet space, the ozone generator 100 is installed on the water inlet structure, and the ozone generator 100 is disposed in the water inlet space. Moreover, the ozone generator 100 can electrolyze the electrolyte when the electrolyte flows through the ozone generator 100 to generate ozone.

[0087] The water inlet structure is used to connect to an external water source for the humidifier 1000, so as to supply water to the humidifier 1000 through the external water source, thereby realizing the various humidification functions of the humidifier 1000 (sterilization humidification, constant temperature humidification, etc.). The aforementioned "external water source" can be a water storage tank, a faucet, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0088] It is understandable that the ozone generator 100 can be used to electrolyze water to generate ozone. When the humidification device 1000 needs to achieve functions such as sterilization and humidification or self-cleaning, water can be supplied to the water inlet space. The water can enter the ozone generator 100 through the liquid inlet 102 of the housing 1 to generate ozone under the action of the electrolysis module 2, so that the ozone generator 100 can output a liquid medium containing ozone.

[0089] Furthermore, the outlet 103 of the ozone generator 100 can be connected via a pipe structure to transport the ozone-containing liquid medium to the corresponding receiving module (such as: wet curtain, atomizing component, etc.).

[0090] It should be noted that the ozone generator 100 is fixed in the water inlet space by connecting and cooperating with the water inlet structure through the housing 1. The installation methods of the housing 1 and the water inlet structure include, but are not limited to, plug-in and snap-fit. The housing 1 can also be fixed to the water inlet structure by a bracket, as long as it can satisfy the requirement of fixing the ozone generator 100 to the water inlet structure. At the same time, other water treatment components can also be installed at the water inlet structure, such as: atomizing components, water pumps, and pipe assemblies arranged in parallel with the ozone generator 100.

[0091] In some other embodiments of this application, the housing 1 may also be integrally integrated into the water inlet structure to improve the integration of the humidification device 1000 at the water inlet structure and reduce assembly difficulty.

[0092] In the description of this specification, the references to terms such as "one embodiment," "some embodiments," "illustrative embodiment," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., indicate that a specific feature, structure, material, or characteristic described in connection with that embodiment or example is included in at least one embodiment or example of this application. In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0093] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
