Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of humidifier devices with automatic drainage function, and in particular to a humidifier device with automatic drainage function. Background Technology
[0002] Steam humidifiers are also known as warm mist humidifiers or evaporators. Small humidifiers can be used to increase the humidity in a single room or a small area evenly. Larger models, such as steam boiler humidifiers, can be used to humidify multiple rooms or the entire house. Especially in winter, low humidity in the home can cause discomfort for residents. People often use household humidifiers to increase humidity levels in their homes. Steam humidifiers are used to heat water, causing the moisture to evaporate into the air. Some people prefer other types of humidifiers—steam humidifiers—because they are generally considered healthier.
[0003] The inventor discovered during daily use of humidifiers that most humidifiers do not have a drainage component. As a result, the water inside the humidifier is not changed for a long time after use, which leads to bacterial growth. This results in a large number of bacteria in the air, which can easily cause illness and other health problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a humidifier device with an automatic drainage function.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a humidifier device with automatic drainage function, comprising a humidifier, a heating wire disposed inside the humidifier, a water tank fixedly connected inside the humidifier, a cleaning device disposed inside the water tank, a drainage device disposed on the side of the humidifier, the drainage device draining water from inside the humidifier, the drainage device comprising a rectangular groove formed in the inner wall of the water tank, a drain pipe fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular groove, a baffle slidably connected inside the rectangular groove, a circular groove formed at the top of the rectangular groove, a pull rope fixedly connected to the top of the baffle, the pull rope sliding inside the circular groove, a groove formed in the inner wall of the water tank, a magnetic plate disposed inside the groove, a power source fixedly connected to the top of the water tank, and an electromagnetic block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.
[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: under the action of the power supply, the electromagnetic block can be energized to generate magnetic force to attract the magnetic plate, thereby pulling the baffle up and blocking the drain pipe, so that the humidifier will not drain when it is in use.
[0007] Preferably, a first spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove, and the other end of the first spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle.
[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: under the action of the first spring, the magnetic plate separates from the electromagnetic block, the baffle is reset, and the remaining water in the water tank is discharged through the drain pipe.
[0009] Preferably, a pad is fixedly connected to the upper top of the baffle, and a washer ring is fixedly connected to the upper top of the baffle.
[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that, under the action of the pad and the washer ring, the baffle will not directly contact the rectangular groove, thus avoiding the phenomenon of rigid contact.
[0011] Preferably, a washer, which is a rubber ring, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove.
[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that, under the action of the washer, the magnetic plate will not directly impact the inner wall of the groove, thus avoiding damage to the magnetic plate.
[0013] Preferably, the side of the baffle is provided with a groove, and a ball bearing is rotatably connected inside the groove.
[0014] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: Under the action of the ball bearings, the baffle can slide smoothly inside the rectangular groove. When the humidifier is in use, the power is turned on, causing the electromagnetic block to generate magnetic force to attract the magnetic plate. Then, the baffle is pulled upward by the pull rope. Under the action of the ball bearings, the baffle can slide smoothly inside the rectangular groove, thereby blocking the drain pipe and preventing water from flowing out. Under the action of the pad and the washer ring, the baffle will not directly contact the rectangular groove, avoiding rigid contact. When the humidifier is not in use, the power is turned off, the magnetic force of the electromagnetic block disappears, and under the action of the first spring, the magnetic plate separates from the electromagnetic block, and the baffle resets, allowing the remaining water in the water tank to be discharged through the drain pipe, thus achieving the function of drainage.
[0015] Preferably, the cleaning device includes a slot formed on the top of the water tank, a rectangular plate is engaged inside the slot, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the rectangular plate, a round rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod, a telescopic rod is slidably connected inside the round rod, a scraper is fixedly connected to the side of the telescopic rod, a second spring is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the round rod, and the other end of the second spring is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod.
[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that, under the action of the second spring, the telescopic rod can always remain extended, thereby scraping away the scale on the inner wall of the water tank and achieving the cleaning effect.
[0017] Preferably, a scraper strip is fixedly connected to the side of the scraper, and the scraper strip is in contact with the bottom of the water tank.
[0018] The effect achieved by the above components is that the scale at the bottom of the water tank can also be cleaned by the scraper, thus avoiding the problem of excessive scale in the water tank making it inconvenient to heat.
[0019] Preferably, a protrusion is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank, and a rotating ring is rotatably connected to the surface of the protrusion.
[0020] The aforementioned components achieve the following effects: The action of the protrusion and the rotating ring prevents the rotating rod from tilting, thus ensuring thorough cleaning. When cleaning scale inside the water tank, the rectangular plate is inserted into the slot, the rotating rod is fitted onto the surface of the protrusion, and the rotating rod is rotated. Under the action of the second spring, the telescopic rod remains extended, scraping away the scale on the inner wall of the water tank, thus achieving the cleaning effect. The scraper also removes scale from the bottom of the water tank, preventing problems caused by excessive scale buildup that hinders heating. The rotating ring ensures smooth rotation of the rotating rod, further enhancing the cleaning effect.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0022] In this invention, a drainage device is installed. When the humidifier is in use, the power is turned on, causing the electromagnetic block to generate magnetic force that attracts the magnetic plate. Then, the baffle is pulled upward by the pull rope. Under the action of the ball bearings, the baffle can slide smoothly inside the rectangular groove, thus blocking the drain pipe and preventing water from flowing out. Under the action of the pad and the washer ring, the baffle does not directly contact the rectangular groove, avoiding rigid contact. When the humidifier is not in use, the power is turned off, the magnetic force of the electromagnetic block disappears, and under the action of the first spring, the magnetic plate separates from the electromagnetic block, and the baffle resets. Then, the remaining water in the water tank is discharged through the drain pipe, thus achieving the drainage function and solving the problem of the humidifier not having an automatic drainage function.

[0027] Example 1, as Figure 1-3 As shown, a humidifier 1 device with automatic drainage function includes a humidifier 1, a heating wire inside the humidifier 1, a water tank 4 fixedly connected inside the humidifier 1, a cleaning device 3 inside the water tank 4, and a drainage device 2 on the side of the humidifier 1. Water is poured into the water tank 4, and the water inside the water tank 4 is heated to 100° by the heating wire at the bottom of the humidifier 1 to generate steam, which is then sent out by a fan.
[0028] Reference Figure 2The drainage device 2 includes a rectangular groove 21 formed in the inner wall of the water tank 4. A drain pipe is fixedly connected to the side of the rectangular groove 21. A baffle 22 is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove 21. A circular groove is formed at the top of the rectangular groove 21. A pull rope is fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 22 and slides inside the circular groove. A groove 26 is formed in the inner wall of the water tank 4. A magnetic plate 27 is installed inside the groove 26. A power supply 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the water tank 4. An electromagnetic block is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 26. Under the action of the power supply 29, the electromagnetic block can be energized to generate magnetic force to attract the magnetic plate 27, thereby pulling it. The baffle 22 moves upward, thus blocking the drain pipe and preventing drainage when the humidifier 1 is in use. A first spring 25 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rectangular groove 21, and the other end of the first spring 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the baffle 22. Under the action of the first spring 25, the magnetic plate 27 separates from the electromagnetic block, and the baffle 22 resets, allowing the remaining water in the water tank 4 to be discharged through the drain pipe. A pad 23 and a washer 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the baffle 22. Under the action of the pad 23 and the washer 24, the baffle 22 does not... The magnetic plate 27 directly contacts the rectangular groove 21, avoiding rigid contact. A washer 28, made of rubber, is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 26. The washer 28 prevents the magnetic plate 27 from directly impacting the inner wall of the groove 26, thus preventing damage to the magnetic plate 27. A groove is formed on the side of the baffle 22, and a ball bearing 210 is rotatably connected inside the groove. The ball bearing 210 allows the baffle 22 to slide smoothly inside the rectangular groove 21. When the humidifier 1 is in use, the power supply 29 is activated, causing the electromagnetic block to generate magnetic force that attracts the magnetic plate 27. The baffle 27 is then moved by pulling a rope. When plate 22 is pulled upward, under the action of ball bearing 210, baffle 22 can slide smoothly inside rectangular groove 21, thereby blocking the drain pipe and preventing water from flowing out. Under the action of pad plate 23 and washer ring 24, baffle 22 will not directly contact rectangular groove 21, avoiding rigid contact. When humidifier 1 is not in use, power supply 29 is turned off, the magnetic force of electromagnetic block disappears, and under the action of first spring 25, magnetic plate 27 separates from electromagnetic block, baffle 22 resets, and the remaining water in water tank 4 is discharged through drain pipe, thus achieving the function of drainage.
[0029] Reference Figure 3The cleaning device 3 includes a slot 31 on the top of the water tank 4. A rectangular plate 32 is fitted inside the slot 31. A rotating rod 33 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rectangular plate 32. A round rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 33. A telescopic rod 34 is slidably connected inside the round rod. A scraper 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the telescopic rod 34. A second spring 35 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the round rod. The other end of the second spring 35 is fixedly connected to one end of the telescopic rod 34. Under the action of the second spring 35, the telescopic rod 34 can always extend beyond the round rod, thereby scraping away the scale on the inner wall of the water tank 4, thus achieving the cleaning effect. A scraper strip 37 is fixedly connected to the side of the scraper 36. The scraper strip 37 fits against the bottom of the water tank 4. Under the action of the scraper strip 37, the scale at the bottom of the water tank 4 can also be cleaned, avoiding the inconvenience of excessive scale buildup in the water tank 4. To facilitate heating, a protrusion 38 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water tank 4. A rotating ring is rotatably connected to the surface of the protrusion 38. Under the action of the protrusion 38 and the rotating ring, the rotating rod 33 will not tilt, thus preventing incomplete cleaning. When it is necessary to clean the scale inside the water tank 4, the rectangular plate 32 is inserted into the slot 31, and the rotating rod 33 is fitted onto the surface of the protrusion 38. Rotating the rotating rod 33, under the action of the second spring 35, allows the telescopic rod 34 to always extend outward, thereby scraping off the scale on the inner wall of the water tank 4, thus achieving the cleaning effect. Under the action of the scraper 37, the scale at the bottom of the water tank 4 can also be cleaned, avoiding the phenomenon that the water tank 4 is inconvenient to heat due to excessive scale. Under the action of the rotating ring, the rotating rod 33 can rotate smoothly, thus achieving the cleaning effect.
[0030] Working principle: When the humidifier 1 with automatic drainage function is needed, water is poured into the water tank 4. The heating wire at the bottom of the humidifier 1 heats the water in the water tank 4 to 100°C, generating steam. The steam is then sent out by a fan. When the humidifier 1 is in use, the power supply 29 is activated, causing the electromagnetic block to generate magnetic force that attracts the magnetic plate 27. This, in turn, pulls the baffle 22 upward via a pull rope. Under the action of the ball bearing 210, the baffle 22 can smoothly slide inside the rectangular groove 21, thus blocking the drain pipe and preventing water from flowing out. Under the action of the pad 23 and the washer ring 24, the baffle 22 does not directly contact the rectangular groove 21, avoiding rigid contact. When the humidifier 1 is not in use, the power supply 29 is turned off, the magnetic force of the electromagnetic block disappears, and the first spring 25... Under the action of the magnetic plate 27, the electromagnetic block is separated, and the baffle 22 is reset, so that the remaining water in the water tank 4 is discharged through the drain pipe, thus achieving the function of drainage. When it is necessary to clean the scale inside the water tank 4, the rectangular plate 32 is inserted into the slot 31, the rotating rod 33 is sleeved on the surface of the protrusion 38, and the rotating rod 33 is rotated. Under the action of the second spring 35, the telescopic rod 34 can always keep extending the round rod, thus scraping off the scale on the inner wall of the water tank 4, thus achieving the function of cleaning. Under the action of the scraper 37, the scale at the bottom of the water tank 4 can also be cleaned, avoiding the phenomenon that the water tank 4 has too much scale and is inconvenient for heating. Under the action of the rotating ring, the rotating rod 33 can rotate smoothly, thus achieving the function of cleaning.
