Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of atomizing fans, and more particularly to an autonomous recirculation atomizing component and an atomizing fan. Background Technology
[0002] Most atomizing fans on the market are equipped with atomizing components. However, during actual operation, due to incomplete atomization, some water fails to be fully converted into fine water mist and instead condenses into droplets that drip from the component surface. To address this issue, existing products typically add an absorbent sponge to the bottom of the atomizing component. However, this solution not only prevents the water absorbed by the sponge from being recycled, leading to significant water waste and reduced actual atomization efficiency, but also accelerates component aging and shortens product lifespan due to the atomizing component being in a humid environment for extended periods. Furthermore, it can breed bacteria and produce odors, posing hygiene risks.
[0003] Based on the above, existing atomizing components need further improvement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The first purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing atomizing components and provide an autonomous reflux atomizing component. By connecting the water collection tank, the reflux channel and the water chamber, the pressure difference between the upper part of the water chamber and the external environment is used to realize the autonomous reflux of the droplets, thereby improving the atomization efficiency. At the same time, the atomizing component is kept dry, avoiding the shortened product life and the creation of hygiene hazards caused by a humid environment.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a self-recirculating atomizing component, including an atomizer and a housing, wherein the atomizer includes a water chamber, an atomizing plate communicating with the water chamber, and a recirculation channel; a water collection tank is provided on the lower side of the housing, the water collection tank is used to collect droplets on the atomizer, and the water collection tank is connected to the upper side of the water chamber through the recirculation channel, so that the droplets in the water collection tank flow back to the water chamber.
[0006] This invention features a water collection tank to collect droplets from the atomizing component. Through the connection of the water collection tank, the return channel, and the water chamber, and by utilizing the pressure difference between the upper part of the water chamber and the external environment after the water level drops, the water undergoes autonomous reflux, achieving droplet recycling. This keeps the atomizing component, except for the water chamber, dry, reducing product lifespan shortening and hygiene hazards caused by humid environments. Compared to existing technologies, this invention's autonomous reflux atomizing component offers higher atomization efficiency, longer product lifespan, and fewer hygiene risks.
[0007] Preferably, the return channel is arranged along the side wall of the atomizer, with the inlet of the return channel located on the water chamber and the outlet of the return channel located on the upper side of the water chamber. During atomization, the water level in the water chamber decreases, the total air volume in the upper part of the water chamber remains unchanged, and the range of air movement increases, resulting in lower air pressure. Meanwhile, the outside air pressure remains unchanged, thus creating a pressure difference between the inside and outside. Since gas flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure, outside air moves into the water chamber, thereby pushing the droplets in the water collection tank back into the water chamber along the return channel. This allows the insufficiently atomized water to be recycled, improving atomization efficiency.
[0008] Preferably, the atomizer is provided with a water injection hole, which connects the water chamber to the outside; the water injection hole is used to inject water into the water chamber.
[0009] Preferably, the device also includes a mounting plate. The atomizer is provided with a first magnetic chuck and a PCB board. The mounting plate is provided with a second magnetic chuck, a main control board, and a water injection tube. The first magnetic chuck and the second magnetic chuck are correspondingly arranged. The PCB board and the main control board are correspondingly arranged and electrically connected. The water injection tube passes through the water injection hole and communicates with the water chamber. Through the magnetic connection between the first magnetic chuck and the second magnetic chuck, the electrical connection between the PCB board and the main control board, and the cooperation between the water injection hole and the water injection tube, a detachable connection between the atomizing component and the fan can be formed.
[0010] Preferably, the atomizer further includes a return pipe, which is disposed on the water inlet and extends outward. The water collection tank is disposed at the lower part of the housing. After the housing and the atomizer are assembled, the return pipe extends into the water collection tank. The dripping liquid in the water collection tank flows back to the water chamber through the return pipe and the return channel.
[0011] Preferably, a probe extending into the water chamber is installed in the water chamber. The probe is used to detect the water level in the water chamber. When the probe detects that the water level has reached a preset height, the water pump stops working and no more water enters the water chamber.
[0012] Preferably, the atomizer further includes a base plate, and the atomizer and the outer shell are configured as a concave cavity structure with one end open. The outer shell is fitted onto the atomizer, and the base plate covers the concave cavity of the atomizer to form the water chamber.
[0013] Preferably, the water chamber is provided with an installation hole, the atomizing plate is installed on the installation hole, and the outer shell is provided with a mist outlet, which is correspondingly provided with the atomizing plate; the atomizing plate contacts the water in the water chamber through the installation hole, and atomizes the water into fine water droplets through vibration, and then sprays them out through the mist outlet.
[0014] Preferably, the atomizer is provided with a limiting post, and the outer shell is provided with a limiting hole, wherein the limiting post and the limiting hole are matched.
[0015] Another objective of this invention is to provide an atomizing fan, comprising a water tank, a fan body, a water inlet pipe, and an atomizing component as described above. The fan body is mounted on the water tank via a mounting base, and the atomizing component is located in the middle of the fan body. A water pump is installed on the water inlet pipe, with the inlet end of the pipe located inside the water tank, and the outlet end connected to the water chamber via a water injection hole. Compared with the prior art, the atomizing fan of this invention, due to the application of the above-described solution, has higher atomization efficiency, a longer product lifespan, and fewer hygiene hazards.

[0032] Example 1:
[0033] See Figures 6 to 8 .
[0034] This embodiment discloses a self-circulating atomizing component 1, including an atomizer 2 and a housing 3. The atomizer 2 includes a water chamber 22, an atomizing plate 21 communicating with the water chamber 22, and a return channel 23. The housing 3 has a water collection tank 31 on its lower side, which is used to collect droplets on the atomizer 2. The water collection tank 31 is connected to the upper side of the water chamber 22 through the return channel 23, so that the droplets in the water collection tank 31 flow back to the water chamber 22.
[0035] The return channel 23 is arranged along the side wall of the atomizer 2. The inlet 231 of the return channel 23 is located on the water chamber 22, and the outlet 232 of the return channel 23 is located on the upper side of the water chamber 22. In this design, the return channel 23 provides a path for the droplets in the water collection tank 31 to flow back to the water chamber 22. Furthermore, the autonomous return of the droplets is achieved by the pressure difference between the upper part of the water chamber 22 and the external environment after the water level drops, thereby improving the droplet utilization rate and atomization efficiency.
[0036] Specifically, the return channel 23 is configured as a cavity and arranged in an arc around the water chamber 22, or the return channel 23 is configured as a pipe and arranged in an arc around the outer wall of the atomizer 2.
[0037] To absorb the droplets in the water collection tank 31, a sponge is laid on the water collection tank 31.
[0038] To enable water injection into the water chamber 22, the atomizer 2 is provided with a water injection hole 251, which connects the water chamber 22 to the outside.
[0039] To guide the path from the water collection tank 31 to the return channel 23, the atomizer 2 also includes a return pipe 24, which is disposed on the water inlet 231 and extends outward. The water collection tank 31 is disposed at the lower part of the outer shell 3. After the outer shell 3 is assembled with the atomizer 2, the return pipe 24 extends into the water collection tank 31.
[0040] A probe extending into the water chamber 22 is installed within the water chamber. This probe is used to detect the water level within the water chamber 22. Specifically, the upper end of the probe is lower than the outlet 232, and the probe extends from the upper part to the lower part of the water chamber 22. In this design, when the water level in the water chamber 22 reaches a set height, the water pump 81 stops working, and no more water enters the water chamber 22, ensuring that the water volume in the water chamber 22 remains within a suitable range.
[0041] The atomizer 2 also includes a base plate 25. The atomizer 2 and the outer shell 3 are configured as a concave cavity structure with one end open. The outer shell 3 is fitted onto the atomizer 2. The base plate 25 covers the concave cavity of the atomizer 2 to form the water chamber 22.
[0042] To achieve water atomization and spraying, the water chamber 22 is provided with mounting holes 221, the atomizing plate 21 is installed in the mounting holes 221, and the outer shell 3 is provided with a mist outlet 32, which is correspondingly arranged with the atomizing plate 21.
[0043] The atomizer 2 is provided with a water injection hole 251. Specifically, the water injection hole 251 is located in the middle or lower part of the atomizer 2. In this design, the water injection hole 251 is used to connect to the water injection pipe 611 to inject water into the water chamber 22.
[0044] To achieve proper alignment between the atomizer 2 and the outer shell 3, the atomizer 2 is provided with a limiting post 26, and the outer shell 3 is provided with a limiting hole 33, wherein the limiting post 26 and the limiting hole 33 are matched.
[0045] This invention features a water collection tank 31 to collect water dripping from the atomizing component 1. Through the connection of the water collection tank 31, the return channel 23, and the water chamber 22, and by utilizing the pressure difference between the upper part of the water chamber 22 and the external environment after the water level drops, the water undergoes autonomous reflux, achieving the recycling of the dripping liquid. Simultaneously, it keeps the other components of the atomizing component 1, except for the water chamber 22, dry, reducing product lifespan shortening and hygiene hazards caused by humid environments. Compared with existing technologies, this invention's autonomous reflux atomizing component 1 has higher atomization efficiency, longer product lifespan, and fewer hygiene hazards.
[0046] Example 2:
[0047] See Figures 1 to 5 .
[0048] This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the structure of the base plate 25 is improved, and the mounting plate 61 is added.
[0049] In this embodiment, a mounting plate 61 is also included. The atomizer 2 is provided with a first magnetic suction component 252 and a PCB board 254. The mounting plate is provided with a second magnetic suction component 612, a main control board 613 and a water injection pipe 611. The first magnetic suction component 252 and the second magnetic suction component 612 are correspondingly arranged. The PCB board 254 and the main control board 613 are correspondingly arranged and electrically connected. The water injection pipe 611 passes through the water injection hole 251 and communicates with the water chamber 22.
[0050] In this embodiment, the atomizing component 1 allows the atomizer 2 and the outer casing 3 to be detached from the mounting plate 61. The mounting plate 61 can be installed on the fan, enabling the atomizing component 1 to be detachably connected. This avoids the atomizing fan 4 from being idle after the atomizing component 1 is damaged, and extends the service life of the atomizing fan 4.

[0052] See Figures 9 to 10 .
[0053] This embodiment discloses an atomizing fan 4, including a water tank 5, a fan body 6, a water inlet pipe 8, and an atomizing component 1 as described in Embodiment 1. The fan body 6 is mounted on the water tank 5 via a mounting base 7. The atomizing component is located in the middle of the fan body 6. A mounting plate 61 is provided on the fan body 6, and a water injection pipe 611 is provided on the mounting plate 61. The water injection pipe 611 passes through the mounting plate 61 and a water injection hole 251, communicating with the water chamber 22. A water pump 81 is provided on the water inlet pipe 8.
