Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizer technology, and in particular to a floating head structure for an atomizer and an atomizer. Background Technology

[0002] Atomizers are common humidification devices that use an oscillating circuit to control an atomizing plate to generate ultrasonic vibrations, atomizing the liquid and outputting it to the environment to increase air humidity. Existing atomizers have a float head inside a water tank, with the atomizing plate mounted on it. The float head floats in the tank, allowing the atomizing plate to atomize the liquid. However, existing float heads experience backlash during operation due to the mist, causing them to sway in the water and affecting water depth stability. Since the mist output of the ultrasonic atomizing plate is highly dependent on water depth, instability in water depth leads to variations in the atomization volume, resulting in instability. Furthermore, the float head has a large floating range; when it floats close to the edge, the mist condenses on the container wall, or the swaying causes the mist to hit the wall, reducing atomization and significantly affecting the stability of the mist output. In addition, the design of the float head's center of gravity is difficult; a poorly designed center of gravity can cause it to tilt, resulting in a tilted water column from the ultrasonic atomizing plate that washes away some of the atomized liquid, reducing atomization efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a floating head structure for an atomizer and an atomizer that can improve the stability of the atomization volume.

[0004] The floating head structure of the atomizer according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0005] The housing has a mounting groove for placing an atomizing plate, and a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the housing, which is connected to the mounting groove.

[0006] A floating balance plate is installed on the upper surface of the housing. The floating balance plate has a mist outlet that communicates with the mounting groove. The bottom of the floating balance plate can contact the water surface in the water tank of the atomizer.

[0007] The atomization drive circuit is electrically connected to the atomizing plate.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing is provided with two mounting slots, which are connected by a connecting slot, and the water inlet is located at the bottom of the connecting slot.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first side wall of the housing is provided with a slot communicating with the mounting groove.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a Hall switch is provided on the second side wall of the housing, and the Hall switch is electrically connected to the atomization drive circuit.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, at least one side of the floating balance plate is provided with an extension plate protruding from the upper surface of the shell.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the extension plate is provided with a plurality of slots.

[0013] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the floating balance plate is made of a material with a specific gravity lower than that of water.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the housing is further provided with a filling hole and a rubber plug for sealing the filling hole.

[0015] On the other hand, the atomizer according to the embodiments of the present invention includes the floating head structure of the atomizer as described in the above-described aspects of the embodiments.

[0016] The floating head structure and atomizer according to the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following beneficial effects: By setting a floating balance plate on the surface of the shell, and reserving space between the floating balance plate and the shell for liquid to pass through, when the floating head structure is placed in the water tank of the atomizer, the bottom of the floating balance plate can contact the water surface of the liquid in the water tank, thereby generating tension. This tension can maintain the balance of the floating head structure and greatly reduce the reaction force when the atomizing plate is working. Moreover, because the floating balance plate is in contact with the water surface, the floating head structure will only vibrate slightly under the action of tension, without causing large shaking, reducing the instability of atomization caused by water depth fluctuations of the atomizing plate. In addition, in this example, by setting the water inlet at the bottom of the shell, the height of the water inlet is reduced, so that the atomizing plate can atomize as much liquid in the water tank as possible, avoiding the situation where the liquid in the water tank cannot enter the water inlet when the liquid in the water tank decreases to a certain level due to the excessive height of the water inlet, resulting in a low utilization rate of the liquid in the water tank.

[0027] Atomizers are common humidification devices that use an oscillating circuit to control an atomizing plate to generate ultrasonic vibrations, atomizing the liquid and outputting it to the environment to increase air humidity. Existing atomizers have a float head inside a water tank, with the atomizing plate mounted on it. The float head floats in the tank, allowing the atomizing plate to atomize the liquid. However, existing float heads experience backlash during operation due to the mist, causing them to sway in the water and affecting water depth stability. Since the mist output of the ultrasonic atomizing plate is highly dependent on water depth, instability in water depth leads to variations in the atomization volume, resulting in instability. Furthermore, the float head has a large floating range; when it floats close to the edge, the mist condenses on the container wall, or the swaying causes the mist to hit the wall, reducing atomization and significantly affecting the stability of the mist output. In addition, the design of the float head's center of gravity is difficult; a poorly designed center of gravity can cause it to tilt, resulting in a tilted water column from the ultrasonic atomizing plate that washes away some of the atomized liquid, reducing atomization efficiency.

[0028] To address this, this utility model proposes a floating head structure and an atomizer. By setting a floating balance plate on the surface of the housing, with a space reserved between the floating balance plate and the housing for liquid to pass through, when the floating head structure is placed in the atomizer's water tank, the bottom of the floating balance plate can contact the water surface in the tank, generating tension. This tension maintains the balance of the floating head structure, greatly reducing the reaction force of the atomizing plate during operation. Furthermore, because the floating balance plate is in contact with the water surface, the floating head structure only experiences slight vibrations under tension, rather than significant shaking, reducing the instability in atomization volume caused by water depth fluctuations in the atomizing plate. In addition, in this example, by placing the water inlet at the bottom of the housing, the height of the water inlet is reduced, allowing the atomizing plate to atomize as much liquid as possible in the tank. This avoids the situation where, due to an excessively high water inlet height, liquid cannot enter the inlet when the water level in the tank decreases, resulting in low liquid utilization.

[0029] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1-2 This invention provides a detailed description of the floating head structure and atomizer of the atomizer according to embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] On the one hand, this utility model embodiment proposes a floating head structure for an atomizer, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the floating head structure of the atomizer includes a housing 100, a floating balance plate 200, and an atomization drive circuit (not shown). The housing 100 is provided with a mounting groove 110 for placing the atomizing plate. The bottom of the housing 100 is provided with a water inlet 120, which communicates with the mounting groove 110. The floating balance plate 200 covers the upper surface of the housing 100 and has a mist outlet 210 communicating with the mounting groove 110. The bottom of the floating balance plate 200 can contact the water surface. The atomization drive circuit is electrically connected to the atomizing plate.

[0031] Specifically, according to the floating head structure of the atomizer in this application embodiment, in practical application, the floating head structure needs to be placed inside the water tank of the atomizer. The atomization drive circuit drives the atomizing plate to work. The atomizing plate atomizes the liquid in the water tank through the action of ultrasound, thereby generating mist. The mist rises along the mounting groove 110 and is sprayed outward through the mist outlet 210. In traditional floating head structures, during the operation of the atomizing plate, the recoil force of the mist causes the floating head structure to sway in the water, affecting the stability of the water depth, and thus leading to unstable atomization volume. In this example, by setting a floating balance plate 200 on the surface of the housing 100, and leaving space between the floating balance plate 200 and the housing 100 for liquid to pass through, when the floating head structure is placed in the water tank of the atomizer, the bottom of the floating balance plate 200 can contact the water surface of the liquid in the water tank, thereby generating tension. This tension can maintain the balance of the floating head structure and greatly reduce the reaction force when the atomizing plate is working. Moreover, because the floating balance plate 200 is in contact with the water surface, the floating head structure will only vibrate slightly under the action of tension, without causing large swaying, reducing the instability of atomization caused by water depth fluctuations of the atomizing plate. In addition, in this example, by setting the water inlet 120 at the bottom of the housing 100, the height of the water inlet 120 is reduced, allowing the atomizing plate to atomize as much liquid in the water tank as possible. This avoids the situation where the water inlet 120 is too high, causing the liquid in the water tank to be unable to enter the water inlet 120 when the liquid level drops to a certain point, resulting in a low utilization rate of the liquid in the water tank.

[0032] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the housing 100 has two mounting slots 110, which are connected by a connecting slot 130. The water inlet 120 is located at the bottom of the connecting slot 130. By providing a mounting slot 110 on each of the left and right sides of the housing 100, and by installing an atomizing plate in each mounting slot 110, the atomization efficiency and mist output are improved. At the same time, the two mounting slots 110 are connected by the connecting slot 130. After the liquid in the water tank enters the connecting slot 130 through the water inlet 120, it can reach the two atomizing plates through the connecting slot 130 for atomization.

[0033] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first side wall of the housing 100 is provided with a slot 140 that communicates with the mounting groove 110. By providing the slot 140, it is convenient for operators to clean the inside of the housing 100 and the area around the atomizing plate without disassembling the floating balance plate 200.

[0034] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, a Hall switch 150 is provided on the second side wall of the housing 100, and the Hall switch 150 is electrically connected to the atomization drive circuit. This Hall switch has a magnet. When there is a lot of water in the tank, the magnet rises under the action of buoyancy, and the Hall switch remains open. When the water in the tank gradually decreases to a certain level, the magnet descends, the Hall switch closes, and the atomization drive circuit controls the atomizing plate to stop working, preventing a situation where the liquid in the tank is used up while the atomizing plate is still working, thus protecting the float structure.

[0035] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, at least one side of the floating balance plate 200 is provided with an extension plate 220 protruding from the upper surface of the shell 100. By providing the extension plate 220, the floating head structure is prevented from getting too close to the inner wall of the water tank, reducing the situation where the mist generated by the atomizing plate condenses on the inner wall of the water tank, and preventing the mist from hitting the inner wall when the floating head structure shakes, which would reduce atomization and greatly affect the stability of the mist output, thereby enhancing the stability of the mist output.

[0036] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the extension plate 220 is provided with several slots 230. On the inner wall of the water tank, there are corresponding locking posts that are inserted into the slots 230, so that the locking posts can guide and balance the floating balance plate 200, and further enhance the stability of the floating head structure.

[0037] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the floating balance plate 200 is made of a material with a specific gravity lower than that of water, such as PP (polypropylene) or polyethylene. By using a material with a specific gravity lower than that of water, the floating balance plate 200 can float on the water surface and form sufficient tension with the water surface.

[0038] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the housing 100 is also provided with a filling hole and a rubber plug for sealing the filling hole. The filling hole can be filled with liquid or other weight-adjustable substances to facilitate adjustment of the buoyancy of the entire floating head structure and ensure that the floating balance plate 200 is in contact with the water surface. The rubber plug serves to seal the filling hole.

[0039] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 As shown, the upper surface of the housing 100 is provided with several positioning holes 160. The corresponding position of the floating balance plate 200 is also provided with positioning holes, so that fasteners such as screws can pass through the positioning holes to lock and fix the floating balance plate 200 and the housing 100.

[0040] According to the floating head structure of the atomizer in this embodiment of the present invention, the use of a floating balance plate 200 prevents the shell 100 from getting too close to the inner wall of the water tank, reducing the condensation of mist generated by the atomizing plate on the inner wall of the water tank. It also prevents the mist from hitting the inner wall of the water tank due to shaking of the floating head structure, thus reducing atomization and significantly affecting the stability of the mist output. This greatly enhances the stability of the mist output. The use of the floating balance plate 200 reduces the design and manufacturing difficulty of the floating head structure. Even if there is a slight deviation in the center of gravity due to design or manufacturing processes, it can be corrected, greatly reducing design difficulty and the scrapping and rework caused by defective products due to center of gravity deviation in the manufacturing process, saving a significant amount of manpower and resources. With the floating balance plate 200 in contact with the water surface, the reaction force of the atomizing plate during operation is greatly reduced under tension. Due to the effect of the floating balance plate 200, the floating head structure will only vibrate slightly and will not shake, reducing the instability of the atomization output caused by water depth fluctuations. In addition, in traditional atomizers, when the mist produced by the atomizing plate rises, some of the mist condenses into water droplets at the top, which then drip onto the water surface, generating noise. However, because the floating balance plate 200 has a large surface area and is made of PP or other plastic materials, when water droplets fall, they land on the surface of the floating balance plate 200, generating very little noise. This can greatly improve the noise problem of the atomizer.

[0041] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment also proposes an atomizer that protects the floating head structure of the atomizer described in the above-mentioned embodiments, thereby improving the stability and efficiency of mist output and reducing noise problems.

[0042] The above is a detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the present utility model. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present utility model. All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
