Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of fan technology, specifically relating to tower fans. Background Technology

[0002] Tower fans generate centrifugal airflow through the rotation of a rotor, which then propels the air through internal guide walls. They offer advantages such as even air distribution and a small footprint. Tower fans are typically placed indoors or outdoors, cooling the air by blowing it outwards. However, current tower fans have relatively poor cooling performance, especially in hot environments where the air they blow is often hot, resulting in limited cooling. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, this application provides a tower fan, the tower fan comprising:

[0004] The housing has an air outlet surface, and the air outlet surface is provided with an air outlet;

[0005] An air outlet device is provided inside the housing and is used to blow air out of the housing through the air outlet.

[0006] A water tank, wherein the water tank is disposed within the shell;

[0007] A spray module includes an atomizing component and a mist tube assembly. The atomizing component is disposed inside the water tank and is used to atomize the water in the water tank to generate water mist. The mist tube assembly includes a first mist tube and a second mist tube. The first mist tube has a first mist inlet and a first mist outlet, and the second mist tube has a second mist inlet and a second mist outlet. The first mist inlet and the second mist inlet are independent of each other, and the first mist outlet and the second mist outlet are disposed on the air outlet surface. The water mist can enter the first mist tube and the second mist tube through the first mist inlet and the second mist inlet, respectively, and be sprayed out of the housing through the first mist outlet and the second mist outlet.

[0008] The tower fan provided in this application incorporates a misting module. The air blown out by the tower fan carries water mist sprayed from the misting module onto the air outlet surface. The evaporation of the water mist absorbs heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the air blown out by the tower fan and enhancing its cooling effect. Simultaneously, the water mist blown onto the user's skin continues to evaporate, absorbing heat from the user's body surface and further improving the tower fan's cooling effect.

[0009] The number of first mist outlets and second mist outlets is multiple. Multiple first mist outlets and multiple second mist outlets are located on opposite sides of the air outlet. Multiple first mist outlets and multiple second mist outlets are arranged along the axial direction of the housing. Multiple first mist outlets and multiple second mist outlets are arranged either directly opposite to each other or staggered.

[0010] The tower fan also includes a base, and the housing is disposed on the base. Among the plurality of first mist outlets, the diameter of the first mist outlet closer to the base is smaller than the diameter of the first mist outlet farther from the base; among the plurality of second mist outlets, the diameter of the second mist outlet closer to the base is smaller than the diameter of the second mist outlet farther from the base.

[0011] The atomizing component includes a first atomizer and a second atomizer. The water tank has a first water storage space and a second water storage space that are interconnected. The first atomizer is located in the first water storage space, and the second atomizer is located in the second water storage space. The end of the first mist tube away from the first mist outlet is connected to the first water storage space, and the end of the second mist tube away from the second mist outlet is connected to the second water storage space.

[0012] The water tank includes a first sub-water tank and a second sub-water tank. The first sub-water tank is located inside the second sub-water tank. The first sub-water tank is equipped with a partition, which, together with the second sub-water tank, forms the first water storage space and the second water storage space. The bottom wall of the first sub-water tank is provided with a through hole, which extends from the first water storage space to the second water storage space to connect the first water storage space and the second water storage space.

[0013] The spray module further includes a first fan and a second fan. The first fan is used to blow air toward the first water storage space so that the water mist in the first water storage space moves away from the base. The second fan is used to blow air toward the second water storage space so that the water mist in the second water storage space moves away from the base.

[0014] The first sub-tank is divided into a first part away from the base and a second part close to the base, with the partition disposed in the second part; the tank also includes a tank cover, with the fan and the mist pipe assembly mounted on the tank cover; the side wall of the first part has two first ends away from the base and arranged opposite each other, and two second ends close to the base and arranged opposite each other, with the distance between the two first ends being greater than the distance between the two second ends, so that the inner side wall of the first part is inclined.

[0015] The tower fan further includes a first connector unit electrically connected to the atomizing component and a second connector unit disposed on the housing. The first connector unit and the second connector unit are pluggable and detachable. When the water tank is installed on the housing, the first connector unit is plugged into the second connector unit, thereby enabling the atomizing component to work. When the water tank is removed from the housing, the first connector unit and the second connector unit are separated, thereby stopping the atomizing component from working.

[0016] The atomizing component includes an atomizer, which includes a body and a float. The body is used to atomize the water into a water mist, and the float is disposed on the body so that the atomizer can float in the water and move with the water level.

[0017] The tower fan also includes a sensor located in the water tank. The sensor works in conjunction with the atomizer to detect the water level. When the water level is lower than a preset height, the sensor controls the atomizer to stop working. Attached Figure Description

[0036] The following are preferred embodiments of this application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this application, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of this application.

[0037] In view of this, and in order to solve the above problems, this application provides a tower fan. Please refer to it as well. Figures 1-6 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the tower fan in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The front view of the tower fan shown. Figure 3 for Figure 2 A magnified view of a section of the tower fan shown. Figure 4 for Figure 1 The rear view of the tower fan shown. Figure 5 for Figure 1 The side view of the tower fan shown. Figure 6 for Figure 1 The exploded view of the tower fan shown.

[0038] The tower fan 1 provided in this embodiment includes a housing 10, an air outlet device 20, a water tank 30, and a spray module 40. The housing 10 has an air outlet surface 100, and the air outlet surface 100 is provided with an air outlet 11. The air outlet device 20 is disposed inside the housing 10, and the air outlet device 20 is used to blow air out of the housing 10 through the air outlet 11. The water tank 30 is disposed inside the housing 10. The spray module 40 includes an atomizing component 41 and a mist tube assembly 42. The atomizing component 41 is disposed inside the water tank 30 and is used to atomize the water in the water tank 30 to generate water mist. The mist tube assembly 42 includes a first mist tube 421 and a second mist tube 422. The first mist tube 421 has a first mist inlet 4212 and a first mist outlet 4211. The second mist tube 422 has a second mist inlet 4221 and a second mist outlet 4222. The first mist inlet 4212 and the second mist inlet 4221 are independent of each other. The first mist outlet 4211 and the second mist outlet 4222 are disposed on the air outlet surface 100. The water mist can enter the first mist tube 421 and the second mist tube 422 through the first mist inlet 4212 and the second mist inlet 4221 respectively, and be sprayed out of the housing 10 through the first mist outlet 4211 and the second mist outlet 4222.

[0039] The tower fan 1 provided in this embodiment is mainly used for cooling. It can be placed indoors and cools the room through a combination of misting and blowing. The tower fan 1 includes a housing 10, an air outlet device 20, a water tank 30, and a misting module 40. The housing 10 is the overall outer shell of the tower fan 1, mainly used to protect other components and provide a mounting base for them. The housing 10 has an air outlet surface 100 with an air outlet 11. Both the air outlet surface 100 and the housing 10 have a side from which air is blown. The air outlet 11 is the gap through which the air generated by the tower fan 1 blows out of the housing 10. The air outlet 11 is located on the air outlet surface 100, and the area of ​​the air outlet surface 100 is larger than the area of ​​the air outlet 11. The air outlet device 20 is mainly used to generate wind by causing airflow. It is located inside the housing 10 and blows air out of the housing 10 through the air outlet 11. Optionally, the air outlet device 20 may include, but is not limited to, a centrifugal fan, an axial fan, or a cross-flow fan. Optionally, the housing 10 is also provided with an air inlet 12, which is arranged opposite to the air outlet 11. Air enters the housing 10 of the tower fan 1 from the air inlet 12, is accelerated by the blowing device, and is blown out from the air outlet 11 of the tower fan 1.

[0040] The water tank 30 is mainly used to supply water to the tower fan 1. The water tank 30 is installed inside the housing 10. Optionally, the water tank 30 and the housing 10 are detachably connected, allowing water to be supplied by removing the water tank 30 from the housing 10 and filling it with water. Alternatively, the water tank 30 and the housing 10 are integrated, and water is added to the water tank 30 through a pipe. The spray module includes an atomizing component 41 and a mist tube assembly 42. The atomizing component 41 is installed inside the water tank 30 and is mainly used to atomize the water in the water tank 30 into water mist. The mist tube assembly 42 includes a first mist tube 421 and a second mist tube 422, which are used to transport the water mist generated by the atomizing component 41. The first mist pipe 421 has a first mist outlet 4211, and the second mist pipe 422 has a second mist outlet 4222. Both the first mist outlet 4211 and the second mist outlet 4222 are located on the air outlet surface 100. Water mist can enter the first mist pipe 421 and the second mist pipe 422, and be sprayed out of the housing 10 through the first mist outlet 4211 and the second mist outlet 4222. In other words, the water mist transported by the mist pipe assembly 42 is transported to the air outlet surface 100 of the tower fan 1 and blown out to the user by the air blown out of the air outlet 11. Furthermore, the first mist inlet 4212 and the second mist inlet 4221 are independent of each other, that is, each mist inlet is individually connected to the water tank 30, which improves the spray uniformity of the first mist pipe 421 and the second mist pipe 422.

[0041] During its movement, the water mist evaporates, absorbing heat from the surrounding environment and thus lowering the wind temperature. Specifically, when the water mist is sprayed from the mist outlet, it moves along with the airflow from tower fan 1. The airflow accelerates the evaporation process of the water mist, making it absorb heat more quickly. Furthermore, when the water mist is sprayed onto the user's body surface, it continues to evaporate under the influence of temperature and airflow, directly absorbing heat from the user's body surface, thereby achieving a good cooling effect.

[0042] In related technologies, tower fans only cool by blowing air, which has low cooling efficiency, especially when the air temperature is high. The air blown by the tower fan is the same as the ambient temperature, meaning it's hot air, resulting in poor cooling when it reaches the user. In this embodiment, a spray module 40 is added to the tower fan 1. The spray module 40 atomizes water into fine mist particles through an atomizing component 41, and then transports the mist to the air outlet 100 of the tower fan 1 through a mist pipe assembly 42. The water mist transported to the air outlet 100 moves with the air blown from the air outlet 11 of the tower fan 1, continuously evaporating during the process and absorbing a large amount of heat, thereby lowering the temperature of the air reaching the user.

[0043] Simultaneously, when the water mist is blown onto the user's skin by the wind, the water mist evaporates rapidly under the influence of temperature and airflow, thereby absorbing the user's skin temperature and further enhancing the cooling effect. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first mist pipe 421 and the second mist pipe 422 are respectively connected to the water tank 30, ensuring a uniform water mist flow rate between the two pipes and preventing a reduction in the water mist coverage area of ​​the tower fan 1. Moreover, using the water tank 30 for water supply allows the tower fan 1 to be moved freely, increasing its usability.

[0044] In summary, this embodiment adds a spray module 40 to the tower fan 1. The air blown out by the tower fan 1 carries water mist sprayed from the spray module 40 onto the air outlet surface 100. The evaporation of the water mist absorbs heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the air blown out by the tower fan 1 and enhancing its cooling effect. At the same time, the water mist blown onto the user's body surface continues to evaporate, absorbing heat from the user's body surface, thus improving the cooling effect of the tower fan 1.

[0045] Specifically, when the tower fan 1 is placed outdoors, the water mist particle size is a first particle size; when the tower fan 1 is placed indoors, the water mist particle size is a second particle size, where the first particle size is larger than the second particle size. When the tower fan 1 is placed outdoors, the space is relatively spacious, so a larger particle size water mist is needed to improve the cooling effect. When the tower fan 1 is placed indoors, the space is relatively limited, so a smaller particle size is needed to avoid wetting the indoor environment. This embodiment is only used to illustrate the tower fan 1 when used indoors.

[0046] Please refer to this as well. Figures 2-3 , Figures 7-8 , Figure 7 This is a front view of the tower fan in another embodiment of this application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The diagram shows a partial enlarged view of the tower fan. In this embodiment, there are multiple first mist outlets 4211 and multiple second mist outlets 4222. These multiple first mist outlets 4211 and multiple second mist outlets 4222 are located on opposite sides of the air outlet 11, and are arranged along the axial direction of the housing 10. The multiple first mist outlets 4211 and multiple second mist outlets 4222 are either directly opposite each other or staggered.

[0047] There are multiple first mist outlets 4211 and multiple second mist outlets 4222, meaning each mist tube has multiple mist outlets. The multiple first mist outlets 4211 and multiple second mist outlets 4222 are located on opposite sides of the air outlet 11, and are arranged along the axial direction of the housing 10. In other words, the multiple first mist outlets 4211 of the first mist tube 421 are arranged along the axial direction of the housing 10, that is, the multiple first mist outlets 4211 are arranged vertically along the housing 10. Similarly, the multiple second mist outlets 4222 of the second mist tube 422 are arranged along the axial direction of the housing 10, that is, the multiple second mist outlets 4222 are arranged vertically along the housing 10. Furthermore, multiple first mist outlets 4211 are located on one side of the air outlet 11, and multiple second mist outlets 4222 are located on the other side of the air outlet 11. That is to say, multiple first mist outlets 4211 are located on the left side of the air outlet 11, and multiple second mist outlets 4222 are located on the right side of the air outlet 11. Moreover, all the mist outlets are arranged in a straight line in the vertical direction.

[0048] Multiple first mist outlets 4211 and multiple second mist outlets 4222 are either directly corresponding to each other or staggered. A direct correspondence means a one-to-one correspondence, where one first mist outlet 4211 corresponds to one second mist outlet 4222. In other words, when there is a first mist outlet 4211 on the left side of the air outlet 11, there is a second mist outlet 4222 on the right side of the air outlet 11 at the same height as the first mist outlet 4211; that is, the corresponding first mist outlets 4211 and second mist outlets 4222 on both sides are flush with each other. The staggered arrangement, or interleaved arrangement, means that in the vertical direction, there is a second mist outlet 4222 between every two first mist outlets 4211, and a first mist outlet 4211 between every two second mist outlets 4222. That is, when there is a first mist outlet 4211 on the left side of the air outlet 11, there is a second mist outlet 4222 slightly above or below the right side of the air outlet 11, thus creating a staggered arrangement of the mist outlets on both sides. By ensuring that the mist outlets are directly opposite each other, the water mist range on both sides is roughly the same, resulting in more uniform water mist spraying from the tower fan 1. Furthermore, by staggering the mist outlets, the spray module 40 can cover a larger vertical area with the same number of mist outlets.

[0049] Please refer to this again. Figures 2-3 , Figures 7-8 In this embodiment, the tower fan 1 further includes a base 70, and the housing 10 is disposed on the base 70. The diameter of the first mist outlet 4211 closest to the base 70 is smaller than the diameter of the first mist outlet 4211 furthest from the base 70. Similarly, the diameter of the second mist outlet 4222 closest to the base 70 is smaller than the diameter of the second mist outlet 4222 furthest from the base 70.

[0050] As can be seen from the above, the first mist pipe 421 has multiple vertically arranged first mist outlets 4211, and the second mist pipe 422 has multiple vertically arranged second mist outlets 4222. In this embodiment, the diameter of the first mist outlet 4211 closest to the base 70 is smaller than the diameter of the first mist outlet 4211 furthest from the base 70. Similarly, the diameter of the second mist outlet 4222 closest to the base 70 is smaller than the diameter of the second mist outlet 4222 furthest from the base 70. In other words, along the vertical direction, the diameters of the multiple first mist outlets 4211 on the first mist pipe 421 increase sequentially, and the diameters of the multiple second mist outlets 4222 on the second mist pipe 422 also increase sequentially. That is, relative to the tower fan 1, the diameter of the mist outlets further up is larger. When water mist moves from the water tank 30 into the mist pipe assembly 42, the water mist usually enters from the end of the mist pipe assembly 42 closest to the base 70. In other words, the water mist will first flow through the lower mist outlet, and then move to the upper mist outlet.

[0051] When multiple vertically arranged mist outlets have the same aperture, the lower mist outlet will have a larger mist flow rate, while the upper mist outlet will have a smaller mist flow rate, resulting in uneven distribution of the mist blown by the tower fan 1. In this embodiment, by making the aperture of the mist outlet closer to the base 70 (lower) smaller than the aperture of the mist outlet farther from the base 70 (upper), the mist blown by the tower fan 1 in the vertical direction is made more uniform, improving the user experience.

[0052] Please refer to this as well. Figures 9-11 , Figure 9 This is an exploded view of the water tank and atomizing component in one embodiment of this application. Figure 10 This is an exploded view of the water tank and atomizing component in one embodiment of this invention. Figure 11 This is a cross-sectional view of the water tank and atomizing assembly according to one embodiment of this application. In this embodiment, the atomizing assembly 41 includes a first atomizer 411 and a second atomizer 412. The water tank 30 has a first water storage space 301 and a second water storage space 302 that are interconnected. The first atomizer 411 is disposed in the first water storage space 301, and the second atomizer 412 is disposed in the second water storage space 302. The end of the first mist tube 421 opposite to the first mist outlet 4211 is connected to the first water storage space 301, and the end of the second mist tube 422 opposite to the second mist outlet 4222 is connected to the second water storage space 302.

[0053] As can be seen from the above, the mist tube assembly 42 includes a first mist tube 421 and a second mist tube 422. In this embodiment, the atomizing assembly 41 includes a first atomizer 411 and a second atomizer 412, and the water tank 30 is provided with a first water storage space 301 and a second water storage space 302 that are interconnected. The first atomizer 411 is disposed in the first water storage space 301, and the second atomizer 412 is disposed in the second water storage space 302. In other words, the water tank 30 is divided into two parts, the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302, and the two parts are interconnected with the same liquid level. The first atomizer 411 and the second atomizer 412 are respectively disposed in the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302. The end of the first mist tube 421 facing away from the first mist outlet 4211 is connected to the first water storage space 301, and the end of the second mist tube 422 facing away from the second mist outlet 4222 is connected to the second water storage space 302. In other words, the first mist pipe 421 has a first mist inlet 4212 for water mist to enter, which is connected to the first water storage space 301, and the second mist pipe 422 has a second mist inlet 4221 for water mist to enter, which is connected to the second water storage space 302.

[0054] In other words, when the spray module 40 is in operation, the first atomizer 411 is located in the first water storage space 301 of the water tank 30, and atomizes the water in the first water storage space 301 into water mist. The water mist generated by the first atomizer 411 enters the space above the liquid surface of the first water storage space 301, and then enters the first mist pipe 421 that connects to the space above the liquid surface of the first water storage space 301. The water mist moves within the first mist pipe 421 and is sprayed out from the first mist outlet 4211 of the first mist pipe 421. Similarly, the second atomizer 412 is located in the second water storage space 302 of the water tank 30, and atomizes the water in the second water storage space 302 into water mist. The water mist generated by the second atomizer 412 enters the space above the liquid surface of the second water storage space 302, and then enters the second mist pipe 422 that connects to the space above the liquid surface of the second water storage space 302. The water mist moves within the second mist pipe 422 and is sprayed out from the second mist outlet 4222 of the second mist pipe 422. By having the water mist generated by the first atomizer 411 and the second atomizer 412 transported and sprayed out of the tower fan 1 through the first mist tube 421 and the second mist tube 422 respectively, the spray volume on both sides is made more uniform. Simultaneously, when one atomizer 410 stops working, the other atomizer 410 can continue to work, improving the working efficiency of the tower fan 1. Furthermore, the adjustment range of two atomizers 410 is greater than that of a single atomizer 410; when the user needs a lower water mist volume, only one atomizer 410 can be operated, and when the user needs a higher water mist volume, both atomizers 410 can be operated simultaneously.

[0055] Please refer to this again. Figures 9-11 In this embodiment, the water tank 30 includes a first sub-water tank 31 and a second sub-water tank 32. The first sub-water tank 31 is disposed inside the second sub-water tank 32. The first sub-water tank 31 is provided with a partition 33, thereby cooperating with the second sub-water tank 32 to form the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302. The bottom wall of the first sub-water tank 31 is provided with a through hole 34, which extends from the first water storage space 301 to the second water storage space 302 to connect the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302.

[0056] The water tank 30 includes a first sub-tank 31 and a second sub-tank 32, with the first sub-tank 31 located inside the second sub-tank 32. In other words, the water tank 30 has a two-layer structure, with the first sub-tank 31 as the inner layer and the second sub-tank 32 as the outer layer. The first sub-tank 31 has a partition 33 that, together with the second sub-tank 32, forms a first water storage space 301 and a second water storage space 302. Specifically, the first sub-tank 31 has a vertical partition 33, with both sides of the partition 33 abutting against the inner wall of the first sub-tank 31, thus dividing the first sub-tank 31 into the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302. The bottom wall of the first sub-tank 31 has a through hole 34 extending from the first water storage space 301 to the second water storage space 302, thereby connecting the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302. In other words, the bottom wall of the first sub-tank 31 has a hole, part of which is in the first water storage space 301 and the other part is in the second water storage space 302. When the first sub-tank 31 is installed in the second sub-tank 32, the first water storage space 301 can be connected to the second water storage space 302, thereby keeping the liquid level in the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302 at the same level.

[0057] Meanwhile, the partition 33 also serves a guiding function. The dimensions of the first water storage space 301 and the second water storage space 302 formed by the partition 33 and the inner wall of the first sub-water tank 31 are the same as those of the first atomizer 411 and the second atomizer 412. In other words, the length and width of each water storage space are slightly larger than the length and width of the atomizer 410. This allows the atomizer 410 to be positioned within the water storage space by the contour of its inner wall, preventing it from tipping over. Furthermore, the bottom wall of the water storage space is not entirely a through hole 34; it can also support the atomizer 410. When the first sub-water tank 31 is removed from the second sub-water tank 32, the atomizer 410 can still remain inside the first sub-water tank 31 and will not fall off.

[0058] Please refer to this again. Figures 9-11 In this embodiment, the spray module 40 further includes a first fan 431 and a second fan 432. The first fan 431 is used to blow air toward the first water storage space 301, so that the water mist in the first water storage space 301 moves away from the base 70. The second fan 432 is used to blow air toward the second water storage space 302, so that the water mist in the second water storage space 302 moves away from the base 70.

[0059] As described above, the spray module 40 includes a first atomizer 411 and a second atomizer 412. The water mist generated by the first atomizer 411 enters the first mist tube 421, and the water mist generated by the second atomizer 412 enters the second mist tube 422. In this embodiment, the spray module 40 also includes a first fan 431 and a second fan 432. The first fan 431 blows air toward the first water storage space 301, causing the water mist in the first water storage space 301 to move away from the base 70. The second fan 432 blows air toward the second water storage space 302, causing the water mist in the second water storage space 302 to move away from the base 70. That is, the first fan 431 is positioned above the liquid surface of the first water storage space 301 and blows air toward the liquid surface. After passing through the atomizer 410, the flowing gas carries the water mist generated by the atomizer 410 to continue moving into the mist tube assembly 42 and is sprayed out from the mist outlet of the mist tube assembly 42. By setting the fan 43, the water mist generated by the atomizer 410 can enter the mist tube assembly 42 more quickly and be sprayed out from the mist outlet, thus avoiding the water mist generated by the atomizer 410 from accumulating in the water tank 30 and being unable to be discharged or having low discharge efficiency.

[0060] Please refer to this again. Figure 11 In this embodiment, the first sub-water tank 31 is divided into a first part 311 away from the base 70 and a second part 312 close to the base 70, and the partition 33 is disposed in the second part 312. The water tank 30 also includes a water tank cover 35, and the fan 43 and the mist pipe assembly 42 are mounted on the water tank cover 35. The side wall of the first part 311 has two first ends 3111 away from the base 70 and arranged opposite each other, and two second ends 3112 close to the base 70 and arranged opposite each other. The distance between the two first ends 3111 is greater than the distance between the two second ends 3112, so that the inner side wall of the first part 311 is inclined.

[0061] As can be seen from the above, the spray module 40 also includes a fan 43. The fan 43 blows air onto the water surface, thereby accelerating the water mist generated by the atomizer 410 into the mist tube assembly 42. In this embodiment, the first sub-water tank 31 is divided into a first part 311 away from the base 70 and a second part 312 close to the base 70, with the partition 33 located in the second part 312. That is, along the vertical direction, the first sub-water tank 31 is divided into two parts: the first part 311 and the second part 312. The first part 311 is the upper edge part, and the second part 312 is the lower housing 10 part. The water tank 30 also includes a water tank cover 35, which is mainly used to seal the water tank 30 to prevent water mist from flowing out of the space outside the mist tube assembly 42. Both the fan 43 and the mist tube assembly 42 are installed on the water tank cover 35.

[0062] The first part 311 located at the top has two opposing sidewalls. Each sidewall has a first end 3111 away from the base 70 and a second end 3112 close to the base 70. The distance between the two first ends 3111 away from the base 70 is greater than the distance between the two second ends 3112 close to the base 70. This causes the two opposing sidewalls of the first part 311 to be inclined. The two inclined sidewalls are respectively positioned to correspond to the two fans 43, thereby guiding the air blown by the two fans 43 so that the air blown by the two fans 43 can be directly blown to the liquid surface of the water tank 30, thus making the flow of water mist smoother.

[0063] Please refer to this as well. Figures 12-15 , Figure 12 This is an exploded three-dimensional structural diagram of the shell and water tank in one embodiment of this application. Figure 13 for Figure 12 A partially enlarged view of the casing shown. Figure 14 This is an exploded three-dimensional structural diagram of the shell and water tank from another perspective in one embodiment of this application. Figure 15 for Figure 14 The diagram shows a partial enlarged view of the water tank. In this embodiment, the tower fan 1 further includes a first connector unit 51 electrically connected to the atomizing component 41 and a second connector unit 52 disposed on the housing 10. The first connector unit 51 and the second connector unit 52 are pluggable and detachable. When the water tank 30 is installed on the housing 10, the first connector unit 51 is plugged into the second connector unit 52, thereby enabling the atomizing component 41 to operate. When the water tank 30 is removed from the housing 10, the first connector unit 51 and the second connector unit 52 separate, thereby stopping the atomizing component 41 from operating.

[0064] The tower fan 1 also includes a first connector unit 51 electrically connected to the atomizing assembly 41, and a second connector unit 52 disposed on the housing 10, wherein the first connector unit 51 and the second connector unit 52 are pluggable. That is, the water tank 30 is equipped with the first connector unit 51, and the housing 10 is equipped with the second connector unit 52. When the first connector unit 51 and the second connector unit 52 are connected, an electrical connection is established; when the first connector unit 51 and the second connector unit 52 are separated, the electrical connection is released. When the water tank 30 is installed on the housing 10, the first connector unit 51 can be plugged into the second connector unit 52, thereby enabling the atomizer 410 electrically connected to the first connector unit 51 to operate. When the water tank 30 is removed from the housing 10, the first connector unit 51 and the second connector unit 52 are disconnected, and the atomizer 410 stops operating.

[0065] In other words, the tower fan 1 has a water tank 30 that is detachably connected to the tower fan body. The water tank 30 has an electrical connection interface, and the main body 413 has a power supply interface that matches the electrical connection interface. When the user removes the water tank 30 to add water, the first connector 51 and the second connector 52 separate, and the atomizer 410 automatically cuts off power and stops generating water mist. After the user adds water to the water tank 30, the water tank 30 can be reinstalled back into the tower fan body. At this time, the first connector 51 and the second connector 52 are electrically connected, and the atomizer 410 automatically powers on and operates. The design of the first connector 51 and the second connector 52 allows the water tank 30 to be completely detached from the tower fan body, making it more convenient for the user to manually add water.

[0066] Please refer to this again. Figure 11 In this embodiment, the atomizing component 41 includes an atomizer 410, which includes a body 413 and a float 414. The body 413 is used to atomize the water into a water mist, and the float 414 is disposed on the body 413 so that the atomizer 410 can float in the water, so that the atomizer 410 can move with the water level.

[0067] The atomizing component 41 includes an atomizer 410, which comprises a body 413 and a float 414. The body 413 atomizes the water in the water tank 30 to generate water mist. The float 414 is installed on the body 413 and can float on the water surface. When the float 414 is installed on the body 413, the atomizer 410 floats entirely in the water. That is, the atomizer 410 is always located at the liquid surface of the water tank 30. When the water in the water tank 30 decreases, that is, when the liquid level in the water tank 30 drops, the atomizer 410 will also drop synchronously with the drop in water level. When the water in the water tank 30 increases, that is, when the liquid level in the water tank 30 rises, the atomizer 410 will also rise synchronously with the rise in water level. In other words, the atomizer 410 is always at a fixed depth below the liquid surface, so that even when the liquid level drops during the atomization process or after water is added and the liquid level rises, the atomizer 410 can always stably generate water mist. Optionally, the atomizer 410 includes, but is not limited to, an ultrasonic atomizer, a jet atomizer, a compressor atomizer, etc.

[0068] Please refer to this again. Figure 9 In this embodiment, the tower fan 1 further includes a sensor 60, which is located in the water tank 30. The sensor 60 can cooperate with the atomizer 410 to detect the water level. When the water level is lower than a preset height, the sensor 60 can control the atomizer 410 to stop working.

[0069] As described above, the atomizer 410 floats in the water and rises or falls with the rise and fall of the liquid level. In this embodiment, the tower fan 1 also includes a sensor 60, which is located in the water tank 30. The sensor 60 can cooperate with the atomizer 410 to detect the water level. When the water level is lower than a preset height, the sensor 60 can control the atomizer 410 to stop working. Specifically, the sensor 60 can be a position sensor, which is set at a preset height in the water tank 30. When the atomizer 410 is working, it converts water into water mist, thereby lowering the water level in the water tank 30, i.e., the atomizer 410 also lowers synchronously. When the position sensor detects the atomizer 410, the water level in the water tank 30 is no longer sufficient to meet the minimum liquid level required for the atomizer 410 to work. If the atomizer 410 continues to work at this time, it may be burned out. Therefore, this embodiment adds a sensor 60. When the water level is less than the preset height, the sensor 60 can issue a stop working command, thereby causing the atomizer 410 to stop working and preventing the atomizer 410 from burning out due to insufficient water level.
