Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidifier technology, specifically to a humidifier with an easy-to-clean water tank. Background Technology

[0002] A humidifier is a household appliance that increases indoor air humidity. It increases ambient humidity by converting water into water mist or water vapor and releasing it into the air, thus relieving discomfort caused by dry air (such as dry skin and itchy throat). It can also prevent problems such as cracked items and static electricity caused by low humidity, creating a more comfortable and healthy living and working environment for people. However, the water tank structure of traditional humidifiers is usually relatively fixed. When cleaning the water tank, users often need to remove the water tank from the main body of the humidifier and then manually wipe the inner wall of the water tank with cleaning tools, which is a rather troublesome cleaning method.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a humidifier with an easy-to-clean water tank, comprising: a water tank shell 1; a misting tube 10 rotatably disposed inside the water tank shell 1, with an inner scraper plate 11 symmetrically fixed to the outer side of the misting tube 10 and cooperating with the water tank shell 1; a spray cap 13 installed on the top of the water tank shell 1; an internally threaded fixing sleeve 2 fixed to the outer side of the water tank shell 1; a connecting base 3 installed on the bottom of the water tank shell 1, with the connecting base 3 threadedly connected to the inner side of the internally threaded fixing sleeve 2; a first rotary joint 7 installed at the bottom end of the misting tube 10, with a mist collecting hopper 8 installed at the bottom of the first rotary joint 7; a connecting water pipe 9 fixed to the inside of the water tank shell 1; a gear 23 fixed to the outer side of the misting tube 10, with a sliding rack 21 slidably disposed inside the water tank shell 1, the sliding rack 21 meshing with the gear 23.

[0028] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the external threaded fixing sleeve 15 on the inner side of the spray cap 13 is threadedly installed with the inner side of the water tank housing 1. The second sealing cylinder 14 at the bottom of the spray cap 13 enters the second sealing groove 12 for sealing. The misting pipe 16 cooperates with the outer side of the misting rotating pipe 10. The internal threaded fixing sleeve 2 on the outer side of the water tank housing 1 is threadedly installed with the outer side of the connecting base 3. The first sealing cylinder 5 at the bottom of the water tank housing 1 seals with the first sealing groove 4, thereby improving the sealing effect between the connecting base 3 and the water tank housing 1. The device is powered by an external power supply, and the output end of the motor 19 drives the lead screw 18 to rotate. When the lead screw 18 rotates, it drives the outer slider 20 to move. The slider 20 carries... The sliding rack 21 slides and adjusts within the water tank housing 1. When the sliding rack 21 moves, it drives the meshing gear 23 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 23 drives the inner misting pipe 10 to rotate and adjust. The misting pipe 10 drives the outer symmetrical inner scraper plate 11 to rotate. The inner scraper plate 11 cleans the inner cavity of the water tank housing 1. The electric heating element 6 atomizes the water that enters the connecting base 3 through the connecting water pipe 9. The electric heating element 6 heats the water to boiling, generating water vapor. The natural diffusion of the water vapor increases the air humidity. The steam is guided out. The water mist enters the first rotary joint 7 and the misting pipe 10 through the mist collecting hopper 8 and is then guided out.

[0029] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a lead screw 18 is rotatably installed inside the water tank shell 1, and a slider 20 is installed on the outside of the lead screw 18. The slider 20 is slidably connected to the water tank shell 1. One side of the slider 20 is fixedly connected to the sliding rack 21. A motor 19 is installed on one side of the water tank shell 1, and the output end of the motor 19 is fixedly connected to the lead screw 18.

[0030] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the output end of the motor 19 drives the lead screw 18 to rotate, the lead screw 18 drives the outer slider 20 to move, the slider 20 drives the sliding rack 21 on one side to move, and the sliding rack 21 drives the meshing gear 23 to rotate, thereby completing the rotation of the mist pipe 10 and the inner scraper plate 11. The inner scraper plate 11 cleans the inner cavity of the water tank shell 1.

[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, an external threaded fixing sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spray cap 13. The external threaded fixing sleeve 15 is installed with the inner thread of the water tank shell 1. A second sealing cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the spray cap 13. A second sealing groove 12 that cooperates with the second sealing cylinder 14 is opened on the top of the water tank shell 1.

[0032] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second sealing cylinder 14 and the second sealing groove 12 are sealed to improve the sealing effect of the connection between the spray cap 13 and the water tank shell 1.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, a second rotary joint 17 is installed inside the spray cap 13, and a misting pipe 16 that mates with the misting pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the second rotary joint 17.

[0034] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the water mist is guided by the connection between the mist pipe 16 and the mist transfer pipe 10.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a No. 1 sealing cylinder 5 is fixed to the bottom of the water tank shell 1, and a No. 1 sealing groove 4 that cooperates with the No. 1 sealing cylinder 5 is opened on the top of the connecting base 3. An electric heating element 6 is installed inside the connecting base 3.

[0036] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the sealing effect between the water tank shell 1 and the connecting base 3 is improved by the cooperation between the first sealing cylinder 5 and the first sealing groove 4.
