Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical component technology, and in particular to an air guide structure based on a Tesla valve. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, electrical appliances such as heaters, humidifiers, and atomizers require the heat or mist generated inside their units to circulate with the outside. Existing methods use fans to guide the airflow, exchanging hot and cold air to facilitate the removal of heat or mist and create convection with ambient air. However, since the air outlets are typically located on the top or side of the unit, when air or mist is emitted from the top, the fan, under pressure, can create swirling or vortex-like effects, leading to blockages at the outlet and reduced airflow. Additionally, the fan generates noise during operation. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a Tesla valve-based air guide structure. By setting a Tesla valve-based air guide structure in the machine body, which has the characteristic of rapid passage in one direction compared to the reverse direction, convection is achieved between the inside and outside of the machine body without the use of a fan, thereby effectively eliminating the pressure inside the fan and effectively enhancing the airflow.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a Tesla valve-based air guide structure, comprising a plurality of Tesla valve assemblies disposed at the air outlet end inside the body cavity, wherein a heating element is connected below the Tesla valve assembly, and the Tesla valve assembly and the heating element are connected by a connecting assembly, wherein the Tesla valve assembly includes a first valve body and a second valve body, the first valve body and the second valve body being detachably connected, the air inlet end is below the heating element, and the air outlet end is above the plurality of Tesla valve assemblies.
[0005] Preferably, the heating element and several Tesla valve assemblies are covered by a housing, with an air outlet and an air inlet at the upper and lower ends of the housing, respectively. The heating element is located inside the air inlet, and the upper ends of the several Tesla valve assemblies are located inside the air outlet.
[0006] More preferably, the first valve body has an outer frame on its outer edge, and the second valve body has an inner frame that is inserted into the outer frame. The outer edge of the inner frame has an overlap that is connected to the outer frame. After the first valve body and the second valve body are connected, they form an air inlet, an air guide channel, and an air outlet.
[0007] More preferably, the first valve body and the second valve body are integrally machined.
[0008] More preferably, several Tesla valve assemblies are arranged horizontally, vertically, or longitudinally and connected to the upper end of the heating element.
[0009] More preferably, the connecting component includes locking teeth disposed on the first valve body or the second valve body, and the upper end of the heating element or the inner wall of the housing is provided with a locking groove that engages with the locking teeth.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It includes several Tesla valve assemblies disposed at the air outlet end inside the body cavity. A heating element is connected below the Tesla valve assembly. The Tesla valve assembly and the heating element are connected by a connecting assembly. The Tesla valve assembly includes a first valve body and a second valve body, which are detachably connected. The air inlet is below the heating element, and the air outlet is above the several Tesla valve assemblies. By assembling the first valve body and the second valve body into a Tesla valve assembly, and connecting the several Tesla valve assemblies in the housing via the connecting assembly, and then installing the whole assembly at the air outlet end inside the body cavity, a wind-guiding structure rationally designed based on the Tesla valve principle is formed. Utilizing its characteristic of unidirectional faster passage than reverse passage, convection is achieved inside and outside the body without the use of a fan, thereby effectively eliminating the pressure inside the fan and effectively enhancing the airflow.

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0016] like Figure 1-4As shown, a Tesla valve-based air guiding structure includes several Tesla valve assemblies 1 disposed at the air outlet end inside the body cavity. A heating element 2 is connected below the Tesla valve assembly 1. The Tesla valve assembly 1 and the heating element 2 are connected by a connecting assembly. The Tesla valve assembly 1 includes a first valve body 11 and a second valve body 12, which are detachably connected. The air inlet is below the heating element 2, and the air outlet is above the several Tesla valve assemblies 1. By assembling the first valve body 11 and the second valve body 12 into a Tesla valve assembly 1, and connecting the several Tesla valve assemblies 1 in the housing 3 via the connecting assembly, and then installing the whole assembly at the air outlet end inside the body cavity, an air guiding structure rationally designed based on the Tesla valve principle is formed. Utilizing its characteristic of rapid passage in one direction compared to the reverse direction, convection is achieved inside and outside the body without the use of a fan, thereby effectively eliminating the pressure inside the fan and effectively enhancing the airflow.
[0017] In this embodiment, the heating element 2 and several Tesla valve assemblies 1 are covered by a housing 3. The housing 3 has an air outlet 5 and an air inlet 4 at its upper and lower ends, respectively. The heating element 2 is located inside the air inlet 4, and the upper ends of several Tesla valve assemblies 1 are located inside the air outlet 5. In this way, when cold air continuously enters the heating element 2 from the air inlet 4 and is heated by the heating element 2, it is sent unidirectionally to the air outlet 5 through several Tesla valve assemblies 1 and then discharged from the air outlet end inside the body cavity.
[0018] In this embodiment, the first valve body 11 has an outer frame 13 on its outer edge, and the second valve body 12 has an inner frame 14 that is inserted into the outer frame 13. The outer edge of the inner frame 14 has an overlap 15 that is connected to the outer frame 13. After the first valve body 11 and the second valve body 12 are connected, an air inlet 111, an air guide channel 112 and an air outlet 113 are formed. When connecting, the inner frame 14 of the second valve body 12 is inserted into the corresponding outer frame 13, and the overlap 15 is made to abut against the outer frame 13, so as to achieve the purpose of fastening the first valve body 11 and the second valve body 12. The hot air heated by the heating element 2 enters the air inlet 111 in one direction, and then goes to the air outlet 113 through the air guide channel 112.
[0019] In this embodiment, the first valve body 11 and the second valve body 12 are integrally formed, and the first valve body and the second valve body are formed by processing plastic, metal materials, wood and other materials.
[0020] In this embodiment, several Tesla valve assemblies 1 are arranged horizontally, vertically, or in a vertical manner. The orientation of the Tesla valve assemblies 1 can be flexibly set according to the air outlet direction of the heater, humidifier, atomizer, etc., as long as it facilitates the natural and smooth outflow of air from the machine body.
[0021] In this embodiment, the connecting component includes a locking tooth 16 located at the bottom of the first valve body 11 and a locking groove 17 at the upper end of the heating element 2 that facilitates engagement with the locking tooth 16. The engagement of the locking tooth 16 and the locking groove 17 facilitates the disassembly and connection of the Tesla valve assembly 1 and the heating element 2.
[0022] In this embodiment, the length, width, and height of the plurality of Tesla valve components 1 can be flexibly set according to the size of the space inside the machine cavity and the speed of the internal airflow.
[0023] When heaters, radiators, and other appliances that generate heat through a heating element 2, a Tesla valve can be installed on the upper end of the heating element 2. Hot air can quickly pass through the Tesla valve, accelerating the airflow in the room. Because the Tesla valve has the characteristic of passing through quickly in one direction compared to the reverse direction, it is more advantageous than the current method of using natural exchange of hot and cold air, and it is quieter than adding a fan.
[0024] When humidifiers and atomizers require a fan to blow air out, the existing humidifiers have a fan structure installed at the bottom, blowing air upwards to produce water mist at the top of the unit. However, when the fan blows upwards, pressure causes swirling air and vortices to form, which can block the air outlet at the top, resulting in weak airflow. Therefore, by installing a Tesla valve assembly 1 at the air outlet, the airflow can be enhanced during the use of the humidifier or atomizer.
[0025] Based on the concept of this utility model, there may be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
