Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of household appliance technology, and more particularly to a humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the pursuit of a healthy environment, humidifiers have become a necessity for many families. Humidifiers use humidifying components to humidify and ventilate, thereby increasing the humidity of indoor air and improving the comfort of the living environment.

[0003] To meet users' demand for indoor fragrance, some humidifiers in related technologies have begun to adopt independent aromatherapy channels to increase indoor humidity while providing a more comfortable experience. However, independent aromatherapy channels require additional space, increasing the size of the humidifier and hindering its miniaturization. Furthermore, the addition of aromatherapy channels makes the internal structure of the humidifier more complex, increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This application discloses a humidifier that improves the structural compactness of the humidifier by connecting the air outlet of the aromatherapy box to the airflow channel of the humidifier, eliminating the need for a separate aromatherapy channel.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application discloses a humidifier, comprising: a housing, the housing including an air inlet and an air outlet, wherein an airflow channel connects the air inlet and the air outlet; a fan assembly disposed within the airflow channel and used to generate airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet; and an aromatherapy box disposed within the housing, the aromatherapy box being used to contain fragrance substances, the aromatherapy box including an aroma outlet connected to the airflow channel.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the aromatherapy box includes a panel exposed outside the housing and a plurality of ventilation holes disposed on the panel, the ventilation holes being connected to the aroma outlet and the external environment.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the top of the aromatherapy box is open.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the housing has a mounting cavity, the aromatherapy box is disposed within the mounting cavity, and the mounting cavity is in communication with the airflow channel.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the mounting cavity includes an opening communicating with the external environment, and the aromatherapy box is detachable from the mounting cavity through the opening.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the aromatherapy box is retractable within the mounting cavity.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the humidifier further includes: a partition disposed within the housing, with the fan assembly and the humidification assembly located on opposite sides of the partition; an aromatherapy box located on the side of the partition away from the humidification assembly, the partition having an opening, and the aroma outlet of the aromatherapy box being connected to the airflow channel through the opening.

[0012] In one possible implementation, the projection of the opening along the vertical direction is at least partially located between the air inlet and the humidification component.

[0013] In one possible implementation, the partition has a hollowed-out portion in the middle region, and a ventilation grille is provided in the hollowed-out portion. The ventilation opening of the ventilation grille is connected to the air inlet and the air outlet.

[0014] The projection of the opening along the vertical direction is at least partially located on the side of the humidification component opposite to the ventilation grille.

[0015] In one possible implementation, the ventilation grille protrudes in a direction away from the fan assembly, such that the air vents on the ventilation grille face the humidification assembly.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the partition includes a protrusion projecting away from the fan assembly in a horizontal direction, the protrusion being located on the side of the humidification assembly away from the air inlet, the lower edge of the protrusion being farther away from the fan assembly than the top of the humidification assembly.

[0017] In one possible implementation, the protrusion includes an air guide surface whose extension passes through the ventilation grille and the air inlet to guide airflow entering from the air inlet to the ventilation grille.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are:

[0019] Thus, the humidifier provided in this embodiment connects the fragrance outlet of the aroma diffuser box to the airflow channel. The negative pressure suction generated by the fan assembly allows the fragrance to be discharged from the humidifier through the airflow channel, eliminating the need for a separate aroma diffuser channel. The thorough mixing of the fragrance and the humidified airflow results in a more even distribution of the fragrance, achieving the dual functions of efficient humidification and long-lasting fragrance diffusion.

[0035] Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," etc., are primarily used to distinguish different devices, elements, or components (which may be the same or different in specific type and construction), and are not intended to indicate or imply the relative importance or quantity of the indicated devices, elements, or components. Unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0036] To provide users with a more comfortable experience, humidifiers in this technology incorporate aromatherapy substances, which provide both humidified air and fragrance to the external environment.

[0037] These humidifiers typically have a separate aromatherapy channel. For example, the aromatherapy channel is connected to the aromatherapy substance, and the fragrance emitted by the aromatherapy substance enters the fan assembly of the humidifier through the aromatherapy channel, and then flows into the room with the airflow disturbed by the fan assembly.

[0038] However, the aromatherapy channel in humidifiers using related technologies requires a separate installation, which occupies additional internal space and increases the overall size of the humidifier, making it inconvenient for home layout. Furthermore, the poor integration of the scented airflow from the aromatherapy channel and the humidified airflow results in uneven distribution of fragrance and moisture, failing to achieve uniform fragrance enhancement and balanced humidification.

[0039] Based on this, this application provides a humidifier that utilizes the airflow channel of the humidifier itself for aroma diffusion, eliminating the need for a separate aromatherapy channel. Furthermore, it achieves a high degree of integration with the humidifying airflow, resulting in ideal, uniform aroma enhancement and humidification effects.

[0040] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 3 This application provides a humidifier 100. The humidifier 100 includes a housing 10. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the housing 10 includes an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 102. The air inlet 101 is disposed on the side wall of the housing 10 and corresponds to the humidification assembly 30. The air outlet 102 is located on the top of the housing 10, and an airflow channel 10a is formed between the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the humidification component 30, the fan component 20, and the water circuit component 60 are disposed within the airflow channel 10a.

[0042] The housing 10 serves as the exterior component of the humidifier 100 and provides structural support and protection for the structural components and electrical parts of the humidifier 100 (e.g., the fan assembly 20). The housing 10 can be cylindrical, cuboid, cube, or similar shapes.

[0043] In some embodiments, the humidification component 30 and the fan component 20 are disposed in the airflow channel 10a. When the fan component 20 is working, it can generate negative pressure suction and disturb the airflow in the airflow channel 10a. The airflow entering the casing 10 from the air inlet 101 forms a humidified airflow after passing through the humidification component 30. Then, under the negative pressure suction of the fan component 20, it enters the fan component 20 and is then pressurized and accelerated by the impeller 202 in the fan component 20 before being discharged from the air outlet 102, thereby achieving humidity regulation of the external environment.

[0044] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the humidifier 100 may include an aromatherapy box 40. The aromatherapy box 40 is used to hold fragrance substances. The fragrance substances may be essential oils, aromatherapy tablets, aromatherapy balls, or other volatile aromatic substances.

[0045] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the aroma diffuser box 40 includes an aroma outlet 401. The aroma outlet 401 is connected to the airflow channel 10a. The aroma outlet 401 can be located at any position in the aroma diffuser box 40; this embodiment does not limit the specific position of the aroma outlet 401.

[0046] The aroma outlet 401 of the aroma diffuser box 40 is connected to the airflow channel 10a. When the fan assembly 20 is working, it generates negative pressure suction, which draws the fragrance emitted by the aromatic substances into the airflow channel 10a. The fragrance then enters the fan assembly 20 along with the humidified airflow and is subsequently discharged from the humidifier 100. In this way, the original airflow channel 10a of the humidifier 100 can be used for aroma diffusion, eliminating the need for a separate aroma diffuser channel, simplifying the structure of the humidifier 100, and achieving further miniaturization of the humidifier 100.

[0047] It is understandable that the fragrance outlet 401 of the aroma diffuser box 40 is connected to the airflow channel 10a, allowing the fragrance to be directly integrated into the humidified airflow. After the fragrance and the humidified airflow are fully mixed, they are discharged from the air outlet 102 under the action of the fan assembly 20, achieving the dual functions of humidification and fragrance enhancement. Due to the high degree of integration between the fragrance and the humidified airflow, the diffusion of the fragrance is more even and longer-lasting, effectively improving the comfort and quality of indoor air.

[0048] It's worth noting that in humid air, water molecules can combine with aroma molecules to form complex molecules. Because water molecules increase the size of aroma molecules, the increased air resistance slows their settling speed, thus increasing the suspension time of aroma molecules in the air. Therefore, when aromas are highly integrated with humid airflow, they can be retained more persistently in indoor environments.

[0049] Furthermore, the humidified airflow can appropriately regulate the concentration of fragrance substances, making the aroma more mellow and natural. In related technologies, humidifiers using separate aroma channels may emit aromas that are too strong or unpleasant due to excessive fragrance concentration, while the mixing effect of humidified airflow can make the aroma milder and more suitable for users who are sensitive to fragrances.

[0050] In some embodiments, the aroma diffuser box 40 can be positioned at a suitable location on the housing 10, such that the aroma outlet 401 of the aroma diffuser box 40 can communicate with the airflow channel 10a.

[0051] Thus, the humidifier 100 provided in this embodiment connects the fragrance outlet 401 of the aroma box 40 to the airflow channel 10a. The negative pressure suction generated by the fan assembly 20 allows the fragrance to be discharged from the humidifier 100 through the airflow channel 10a, eliminating the need for a separate aroma channel. The thorough mixing of the fragrance and the humidified airflow results in a more uniform distribution of the fragrance, achieving the dual functions of efficient humidification and long-lasting fragrance diffusion in the humidifier 100.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the aroma diffuser box 40 includes a panel 402 exposed outside the housing 10. The panel 402 has multiple ventilation holes 403. The ventilation holes 403 connect the aroma outlet 401 to the external environment.

[0053] Since the vent 403 is connected to the external environment and the fragrance outlet 401, and the fragrance outlet 401 is connected to the airflow channel 10a, an effective airflow path is formed between the external environment, the fragrance box 40, and the airflow channel 10a. The negative pressure generated when the fan assembly 20 is working, while the external environment is at normal pressure, will draw airflow from the external environment into the fragrance box 40. At the same time, the fragrance molecules carrying the fragrance substances in the fragrance box 40 will be discharged from the fragrance outlet 401 and enter the airflow channel 10a. This allows the fragrance inside the fragrance box 40 to be efficiently and fully carried into the airflow channel 10a and diffused to the external environment with the airflow, thereby realizing the "negative pressure fragrance absorption" effect of the airflow channel 10a.

[0054] In some embodiments, the housing has a mounting cavity 106. The mounting cavity 106 is used to accommodate the aromatherapy box 40. The mounting cavity 106 may be formed by a portion of the housing recessed into the receiving cavity of the housing 10. The mounting cavity 106 communicates with the airflow channel 10a to achieve "negative pressure aroma absorption" in the airflow channel 10a.

[0055] When the humidifier 100 is not working, the aromatherapy box 40 is placed in the mounting cavity 106. The mounting cavity 106 can concentrate most of the aroma in the aromatherapy box 40, thereby reducing the evaporation rate of the aroma substances.

[0056] In some embodiments, the mounting cavity 106 includes an opening 107 that communicates with the external environment. The aromatherapy box 40 is detachable from the mounting cavity 106 through the opening 107.

[0057] The mounting cavity 106 includes an opening 107 that communicates with the outside, so that the aromatherapy box 40 can be inserted into the mounting cavity 106 through the opening 107, or removed from the mounting cavity 106 through the opening 107.

[0058] For example, when the user needs to add fragrance, the aromatherapy box 40 can be removed through the opening 107. After adding fragrance, the aromatherapy box 40 is then inserted back into the mounting cavity 106 through the opening 107.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the top of the aroma diffuser box 40 is open. A fragrance outlet 401 is provided at the bottom of the aroma diffuser box 40. Fragrance substances can be introduced into the aroma diffuser box 40 from the top. The panel 402 forms the side wall of the aroma diffuser box 40. Airflow entering through the vent 403 must pass through the fragrance substance before flowing out from the fragrance outlet 401 on the bottom wall, thus improving the diffusion rate of the fragrance substance.

[0060] In some embodiments, the aromatherapy box 40 is retractable within the mounting cavity 106. The retractable design of the aromatherapy box 40 reduces the process of disassembly and assembly, enabling convenient and quick replacement of the fragrance substance.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the housing 10 includes a partition 103 located within the airflow channel 10a. The partition 103 divides the airflow channel 10a into a fan chamber 104 and a humidification chamber 105. The fan chamber 104 communicates with the air outlet 102, and the humidification chamber 105 communicates with the air inlet 101. The fan assembly 20 is located in the fan chamber 104 on one side of the partition 103, and the humidification assembly 30 and the water tank 70 are located in the humidification chamber 105 on the other side of the partition 103.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the aromatherapy box 40 is located on the side of the partition 103 opposite to the humidification component 30. That is, the aromatherapy box 40 is located inside the fan cavity 104.

[0063] It should be noted that the reason for placing the aromatherapy box 40 inside the fan cavity 104 is to maximize the proportion of the humidification component 30 within the humidification cavity 105, thereby increasing the volume of the humidification component 30 and improving humidification efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, since the airflow humidity inside the humidification chamber 105 is high, placing the aromatherapy box 40 inside the humidification chamber 105 may cause the fragrance substances to become damp or clump due to the moisture, affecting the fragrance release effect. Placing the aromatherapy box 40 inside the fan chamber 104 can reduce the direct impact of moisture on the fragrance substances, helping to improve the stability and durability of the fragrance substances.

[0065] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the partition 103 may be provided with an opening 1031. The opening 1031 extends through the partition 103. The fragrance outlet 401 of the aromatherapy box 40 is connected to the airflow channel 10a through the opening 1031.

[0066] When the aroma diffuser box 40 is assembled into the housing 10, the aroma outlet 401 of the aroma diffuser box 40 can correspond to the inlet 1031, so that the aroma can directly enter the inlet 1031 from the aroma outlet 401.

[0067] In some embodiments, the shapes of the aroma outlet 401 and the through-hole 1031 can be adapted to each other, thereby improving the aroma permeability.

[0068] Specifically, the air outlet 401 and the through-hole 1031 can be constructed as elongated strips to improve the ventilation efficiency of the air outlet 401 and the through-hole 1031.

[0069] It is understandable that although the aroma diffuser box 40 is not located inside the humidification chamber 105, the fragrance inside the aroma diffuser box 40 can still enter the humidification chamber 105 (i.e., the airflow channel 10a) through the opening 1031 connected to the fragrance outlet 401. This allows for the full integration of fragrance and humidified airflow without occupying space within the humidification chamber 105.

[0070] In some embodiments, the humidification assembly 30 includes a support 301 and a mesh 302. The mesh 302 has water storage capacity to store water sprayed into it by the water channel assembly 40. The wetted mesh 302 can humidify the airflow. The water outlet of the water channel assembly 40 can be located at the top of the mesh 302, so that water can evenly wet the mesh 302 based on gravity.

[0071] In some embodiments, such as Figure 6 As shown, the projection of the opening 1031 along the vertical direction is at least partially located between the air inlet 101 and the mesh 302 (i.e., Figure 6 The projection area C is shown by the dashed line.

[0072] In this way, at least part of the opening 1031 is located on the windward side of the mesh 302. The fragrance gas flowing into the humidification chamber 105 from the opening 1031 will pass through the mesh 302, mix thoroughly with the water molecules in the mesh 302, and flow out of the humidifier 100 under the negative pressure suction of the fan assembly 20, further enhancing the diffusion effect of the fragrance and the user experience.

[0073] Thus, at least part of the vertical projection of the opening 1031 is located between the air inlet 101 and the mesh 302, which can further improve the degree of binding between the fragrance and water molecules. The fragrance can bind more tightly with water molecules in the humid environment of the mesh 302 to form a water mist carrying the fragrance, so that the fragrance can diffuse more evenly and for a longer period of time into the external environment, thereby improving the user experience.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the partition 103 has a hollowed-out portion 1032 in the middle area, and a ventilation grille 50 is provided in the hollowed-out portion 1032. The ventilation opening 501 of the ventilation grille 50 is connected to the air inlet 101 and the air outlet 102.

[0075] It is understandable that, due to the negative pressure generated by the impeller 202 in the fan assembly 20 during rotation, the fan assembly 20 and the humidification assembly 30 are located on opposite sides of the ventilation grille 50. That is, the ventilation grille 50 is located at the bottom of the fan assembly 20, which is equivalent to the area with strong negative pressure at the air inlet of the fan assembly 20. The air pressure generated by the negative pressure suction is concentrated in the ventilation grille 50. Thus, the ventilation grille 50 can effectively guide the airflow towards the fan assembly 20, allowing the humidified airflow to enter the fan assembly 20 at a higher speed and pressure. The fan assembly 20 further accelerates and pressurizes the airflow, enabling the humidified airflow to exit the humidifier 100 from the air outlet 102 with a greater head and more uniform diffusion effect, thereby improving the humidification range of the humidifier 100 and the uniformity of indoor air humidity.

[0076] When the water tank 70 and humidification component 30 need to be cleaned, the water circuit component 60 can be separated from the water tank 70 by lifting the housing 10 upwards. As long as the shape and size of the air inlet are properly set, the ventilation grille 50 located at the air inlet of the fan component 20 can block the user's fingers, preventing the user's fingers from accidentally sticking into the fan component 20, thereby improving the safety of using the humidifier 100.

[0077] In some embodiments, the projection of the opening 1031 along the vertical direction, at least a portion of the opening 1031 is located on the side of the humidification assembly 30 opposite to the ventilation grille 50.

[0078] When the aroma enters the humidification chamber 105 from the aromatherapy box 40 through the inlet 1031, it first passes through the humidification component 30 and mixes thoroughly with the humidified airflow. Subsequently, the mixed aroma and humidified airflow are guided to the area where the ventilation grille 50 is located. This area forms a concentrated air pressure zone due to the negative pressure generated by the fan assembly 20 during operation. In this area, the airflow speed increases and the pressure intensifies, allowing the mixture of aroma and humidified airflow to pass through the ventilation grille 50 and enter the fan assembly 20 with higher efficiency and stronger force. The fan assembly 20 further accelerates and pressurizes the airflow, ultimately discharging the humidified airflow carrying the aroma from the outlet 102 with a greater head and more uniform diffusion effect, improving the diffusion efficiency and coverage of the aroma.

[0079] Meanwhile, since the aroma is fully mixed with the humidified airflow before entering the fan assembly 20, the problem of uneven aroma distribution or excessively concentrated aroma in some areas is reduced, further optimizing the overall performance of the humidifier 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, the water channel assembly 60 and the ventilation grille 50 can be an integral structure.

[0081] It is understandable that the water circuit assembly 60 and the ventilation grille 50 can be an integrated structure. The water circuit assembly 60 is not only used to supply water to the humidification assembly 30, but also serves as a structural component connecting the humidification chamber 105 and the fan chamber 104. This simplifies the structural component data within the humidifier 100 and achieves a compact design for the humidifier 100.

[0082] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ventilation grille 50 surrounds the outer periphery of the water channel assembly 60. In this way, the ventilation grille 50 can provide comprehensive ventilation along the circumference of the humidifier 100, which can reduce vibration or noise caused by uneven airflow distribution and improve the user experience.

[0083] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the ventilation grille 50 is connected to the air inlet of the partition 103 and the fan assembly 20 respectively.

[0084] The fan assembly 20 may include a fan housing 201. A ventilation grille 50 may be connected to the air inlet of the fan housing 201 to increase the airflow rate entering the fan assembly 20 from the ventilation grille 50 and reduce airflow loss. The ventilation grille 50 may be connected to both the partition 103 and the fan assembly 20 to further reduce airflow loss when air flows into the fan assembly 20.

[0085] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the water tank 70 is located at the bottom of the humidifier 100. The humidification assembly 30 is detachably disposed in the water tank 70.

[0086] In some embodiments, the housing 10 is detachably fitted over the water tank 70. No disassembly connection structure (such as snap-fit ​​or locking connections) is required between the housing 10 and the water tank 70. Thus, when cleaning the water tank 70, simply lifting the housing 10 easily separates the water tank 70 from the housing 10, making the water tank 70 and humidification component 30 visible to the user, who can then directly place them into a sink or dishwasher for cleaning. During assembly, simply placing the humidification component 30 on the water tank 70 and then covering it with the housing 10 improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the humidifier 100 for cleaning.

[0087] In some embodiments, water overflowing from the humidification component 30 may flow into the water tank 70.

[0088] Specifically, the water tank 70 may include a tank body and a water receiving section. The water receiving section is located on the top of the tank body, and the humidifying component 30 is detachably disposed on the water receiving section. The water receiving section provides structural support for the humidifying component 30. The water receiving section may be provided with water permeable holes to allow water overflowing from the humidifying component 30 to flow back into the water tank 70.

[0089] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the partition 103 includes a protrusion 1033 that protrudes away from the fan assembly 20. The lower edge of the protrusion 1033 is further away from the fan assembly 20 than the top of the humidification assembly 30.

[0090] After the humidifier 100 is assembled by attaching the humidifier component 30 to the water tank 70 and covering the housing 10 outside the water tank 70, there may be a small assembly gap between the humidifier component 30 and the partition 103. In order to reduce the airflow entering the housing 10 from the air inlet 101, which flows in through the gap between the humidifier component 30 and the partition 103 without passing through the wetted mesh 302, the humidification efficiency of the airflow is reduced. The partition 103 has a protrusion 1033 that protrudes outward from the water tank 70. In the horizontal direction, the protrusion 1033 is located on the side of the humidification component 30 away from the air inlet 101. The lower edge of the protrusion 1033 is closer to the water tank 70 than the top of the humidification component 30. In this way, the protrusion 1033 forms a physical barrier, reducing the occurrence of airflow bypassing the mesh directly through the gap between the humidification component 30 and the partition 103. This ensures that most of the airflow flowing into the casing 10 through the air inlet 101 is humidified by the mesh 302, thereby improving humidification efficiency.

[0091] It is understandable that, since the aroma needs to be fully integrated with water molecules through the mesh 302, the protrusion 1033 increases the airflow through the humidification component 30, which in turn increases the diffusion range and efficiency of the aroma.

[0092] In some embodiments, the protrusion 1033 includes an air guide surface 1034, the extension of which passes through the ventilation grille 50, the humidification assembly 30 and the air inlet 101, so as to guide the airflow entering from the air inlet 101 to the ventilation grille 50.

[0093] The protrusion 1033 has an air guide surface 1034. The extension of the air guide surface 1034 passes through the ventilation grille 50, the mesh and the air inlet 101, so that the airflow can be guided by the air guide surface 1034 to the ventilation grille 50 in the area of ​​concentrated air pressure after entering the housing 10, reducing the disorderly diffusion of airflow inside the housing 10, thereby improving the humidification efficiency and the diffusion effect of aroma.

[0094] In some embodiments, the air guide surface 1034 may include a curved surface to effectively guide airflow.

[0095] Specifically, one side wall of the protrusion 1033 can be connected to the ventilation grille 50, and the air guide surface 1034 is formed on the side of the protrusion 1033 near the ventilation grille 50.

[0096] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the ventilation grille 50 protrudes in a direction away from the fan assembly 20 so that the air outlet faces the humidification assembly 30.

[0097] If the ventilation grille 50 is constructed as a flat plate extending horizontally, the vent 501 will face the bottom of the humidifier 100, i.e., towards the water tank 70. In this case, the airflow entering from the air inlet 101 will easily impact the water channel assembly 60 located in the central area of ​​the humidifier 100, causing the airflow to deflect and create eddies. In this embodiment, the ventilation grille 50 in the humidifier 100 protrudes away from the fan assembly 20. This allows the air vent formed in the ventilation grille 50 to face the air inlet 101 located on the side wall of the housing 10 as much as possible, effectively increasing the effective ventilation angle range of the ventilation grille 50. This allows the airflow to enter the ventilation grille 50 more smoothly after passing through the humidification assembly 30, optimizing the airflow path and reducing the possibility of airflow deflection or eddies before entering the fan assembly 20, thereby improving the overall efficiency and airflow stability of the humidifier 100.
