Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of humidifier technology, and in particular to a squeezing water filling structure and a mist-free humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifiers are increasingly used in the field of indoor air humidity control. Currently, the most common water filling method for humidifiers is the water pump type, which has many shortcomings that need improvement.

[0003] While water pump-based water supply solves the problem of location limitations and provides a stable water supply, it consumes a lot of energy, increasing user costs. Furthermore, the pumps are prone to wear and tear, leading to frequent maintenance and higher costs. In addition, the pumps are quite noisy when running, resulting in a poor user experience in noise-sensitive environments such as bedrooms and offices.

[0004] In addition, although capillary water supply is energy-saving and quiet, the water supply speed is slow, which is difficult to meet the needs of rapid humidification. It is also easily clogged by impurities in the water, requiring frequent cleaning or replacement, which is inconvenient to use.

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, this utility model proposes a squeezing water filling structure, which realizes that the water filling structure of the humidifier is easy to install, quick to fill water, and has low energy consumption and low noise during operation. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a squeeze-filling water structure and a mist-free humidifier, which aims to solve the technical problem that the water filling method of the humidifier in the prior art cannot simultaneously achieve water filling efficiency and low noise.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A squeeze-type water supply structure includes a drain pipe and a water supply pipe, each equipped with a one-way valve, and a flexible hose connected between the drain pipe and the water supply pipe; the squeeze-type water supply structure also includes a squeezing device for squeezing the flexible hose.

[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned squeeze-water supply structure further includes a hose support base, with the hose disposed on the hose support base.

[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned squeeze-water supply structure, the hose support base includes two support plates and a connecting plate connected to the two support plates; each support plate has an arc-shaped groove on its top, and the shape of the arc-shaped groove is adapted to the shape of the hose.

[0011] Furthermore, in the aforementioned extrusion water supply structure, the extrusion device includes a motor and an eccentric wheel mounted on the motor spindle.

[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned squeeze-water-feeding structure, a buffer pad is provided between the eccentric wheel and the hose.

[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned water-pressing structure, the buffer pad includes a rectangular body with two first cavities at the top and two second cavities at the bottom; a first rib is provided between the two first cavities, and a second rib is provided between the two second cavities.

[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned extrusion water supply structure also includes a motor mounting base, on which the motor is vertically mounted downwards.

[0015] This application provides a mist-free humidifier, including a water tank, a wet curtain, and a fan, which, unlike the prior art, also includes the aforementioned squeeze-to-fill water structure.

[0016] Beneficial effects: This utility model provides a squeeze-to-fill water structure and a mist-free humidifier, which has at least the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0017] Energy-saving and low-noise: Abandoning the traditional water pump-type water supply method, it adopts a squeezing hose method to supply water, avoiding the high energy consumption and loud noise of water pump operation, greatly reducing the user's operating costs, and providing a quiet and comfortable humidification experience for noise-sensitive environments such as bedrooms and offices.

[0018] High efficiency and stability: The motor drives an eccentric wheel to compress the hose, causing the hose volume to change periodically, achieving rapid water filling. Furthermore, a buffer pad placed between the eccentric wheel and the hose increases the force-bearing area of ​​the hose, which not only reduces the pressure on the hose and extends its service life, but also further improves the water filling efficiency, ensuring the high efficiency and stability of humidification.

[0019] Reasonable Structure: The unique design of the hose support base utilizes the arc-shaped grooves on the top of two support plates to support the hose, enabling it to withstand forces from multiple directions and ensuring the stability of the hose during extrusion. The motor mounting base works in conjunction with the hose support base to limit the hose in both horizontal and vertical directions, effectively preventing hose displacement during extrusion. Simultaneously, the motor is mounted vertically downwards on the motor mounting base, making the extrusion device compact, space-saving, and convenient for the overall equipment installation and layout.

[0020] Cost reduction: The components of the squeeze-type water supply structure are relatively simple, reducing the need for complex parts such as easily worn water pumps, thus lowering maintenance costs. Furthermore, the buffer pads reduce weight by creating recessed cavities and ensure strength using ribs, reducing material costs while maintaining performance and improving the product's cost-effectiveness.

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and effects of this utility model clearer and more explicit, the present utility model is further described in detail below. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 7This utility model provides a squeeze-filled water structure. The accompanying drawings are for illustrative purposes only and are not proportional to an actual product. The drawings only show structures relevant to this utility model; some conventional structures are not specifically depicted. For ease of understanding, Figure 1 and Figure 2 The base plate of the humidifier has been drawn. Figure 2 The motor mounting bracket is not shown.

[0036] The terms "first" and "second" used in this document are merely different names for similar structures to facilitate explanation and are not intended to limit this application.

[0037] Please refer to the following first. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 7 The squeeze-water supply structure includes a drain pipe 11 and a water supply pipe 13, each equipped with a one-way valve. Figure 7 The diagram shows one-way valves 111 and 131, and a hose 12 connects the drain pipe and the water supply pipe; the squeeze water supply structure also includes a squeezing device 2 for squeezing the hose.

[0038] The hose can be made of materials such as rubber or silicone to allow it to deform when squeezed and recover when not squeezed, so as to achieve water filling of the humidifier by changing the volume of the hose.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in practical applications, in order to effectively support the hose, the following can be further configured: the squeeze water supply structure also includes a hose support seat 4, and the hose is mounted on the hose support seat.

[0040] Specifically, the hose support includes two support plates 42 and a connecting plate 41 connected to the two support plates; each support plate has an arc-shaped groove 420 on its top, the shape of which is adapted to the shape of the hose (i.e., the radius of the arc-shaped groove is equal to the radius of the hose). The two arc-shaped grooves support the hose, effectively supporting it so that the hose can withstand forces in the vertical downward and horizontal directions.

[0041] There are various ways to implement the squeezing device; here, a simple and easy-to-implement setup is provided: the squeezing device 2 includes a motor 22 and an eccentric wheel 23 mounted on the motor spindle (not visible from the perspective of the attached drawing). During operation, the motor drives the eccentric wheel to rotate. During rotation, the eccentric wheel periodically squeezes and releases the hose, and the volume of the hose changes periodically accordingly, thereby enabling the humidifier to fill with water.

[0042] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a buffer pad 3 is further provided between the eccentric wheel and the hose. This arrangement prevents the eccentric wheel from directly compressing the hose; instead, the buffer pad compresses the hose. Compared to the eccentric wheel directly compressing the hose, the buffer pad increases the contact area of ​​the hose, thereby reducing the pressure on the hose and extending its service life. Furthermore, due to the increased contact area, the hose deforms more significantly with each compression, further ensuring efficient water supply.

[0043] Furthermore, the buffer pad 3 includes a rectangular body 31 with two first cavities 301 at the top and two second cavities 302 at the bottom. A first rib 311 is provided between the two first cavities, and a second rib 312 is provided between the two second cavities. The presence of the first and second cavities reduces the weight of the buffer pad. The length direction of the first and second ribs is parallel to the direction of the force applied by the eccentric wheel, ensuring that the buffer pad has sufficient strength to withstand the pressure applied by the eccentric wheel.

[0044] Furthermore, the extrusion water supply structure also includes a motor mounting base 21, on which the motor is vertically mounted downwards. The downward-facing motor configuration makes the overall extrusion device compact and requires less installation height.

[0045] From the appendix Figure 6 It can also be observed that the bottom of the motor mounting base 21 has an opening 210, the motor mounting base covers the hose support base, and the hose is located below the opening of the motor mounting base. This arrangement allows the motor mounting base and the hose mounting base to limit the hose in the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively preventing the hose from shifting during the compression process.

[0046] Please see Figure 7 Accordingly, this application also provides a mist-free humidifier, which includes a water tank 92, a wet curtain 94 (or "filter element" or other names) and a fan 95 (other conventional components will not be described in detail). Unlike the prior art, the mist-free humidifier also includes the aforementioned squeeze water filling structure.

[0047] As shown in the attached figure, during actual assembly, the entire squeeze water supply structure is installed on the base plate below the water tank. The drain pipe is connected to the water tank, and the water supply pipe extends upward and connects to the wet curtain water supply pipe 93.

[0048] Because the drain pipe is connected to the water tank and is equipped with a one-way valve 111, water in the tank can only flow into the hose in one direction. The water inlet pipe is equipped with a one-way valve 131, so water in the hose can only be sent to the wet curtain inlet pipe in one direction. Each time the squeezing device pressurizes the hose, the hose's volume decreases, and water inside the hose is squeezed out from the water inlet pipe and enters the wet curtain through the wet curtain inlet pipe. After the squeezing is released, the hose returns to its original shape, its volume increases, and water from the tank enters the hose by gravity. This process repeats periodically, with the squeezing device periodically squeezing the hose to achieve water supply. The humidifier's fan rotates, causing outdoor air to enter the humidifier, pass through the wet curtain, and then exit the humidifier, thus humidifying the room.

[0049] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. It is understood that those skilled in the art can make equivalent substitutions or modifications based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
