[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are all within the scope of protection of this utility model. Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other. (Refer to...) Figure 1-6 .

[0026] This utility model provides:

[0027] A humidifier with heating and cooling functions includes a housing assembly 1, a fan assembly 2, a water evaporation carrier assembly 3, a water evaporation carrier drive assembly 4, a heating element assembly 5, and a water tank assembly 6. The fan assembly 2 is disposed within the housing assembly 1, and the water evaporation carrier assembly 3 is disposed inside the water tank assembly 6. The water evaporation carrier assembly 3 includes a water evaporation carrier 31. The water evaporation carrier drive assembly 4 drives the water evaporation carrier 31 to circulate or reciprocate within the water tank assembly 6. During the circulation or reciprocating motion of the water evaporation carrier assembly 3 within the water tank assembly 6, at least a portion of the water evaporation carrier 31 is immersed in the water within the water tank assembly 6, and at least a portion of the water evaporation carrier 31 is exposed above the water within the water tank assembly 6. The internal cavity of the housing assembly 1 is divided into a first internal cavity 101 communicating with the air inlet 11 of the housing assembly 1 and a second internal cavity 102 communicating with the air outlet 12 of the housing assembly 1. A first connecting port 13 and a second connecting port 14 are provided between the internal cavity of the housing assembly 1 and the internal cavity of the water tank assembly 6. The first connecting port 13 connects the first internal cavity 101 and the internal cavity of the water tank assembly 6. The second connecting port 14 and the second internal cavity 102 communicate with the internal cavity of the water tank assembly 6. The space in the internal cavity of the water tank assembly 6 that communicates with the first connecting port 13 and the space that communicates with the second connecting port 14 are respectively located on both sides of the water evaporation carrier 31. A heating element assembly 5 is provided at the first connecting port 13.

[0028] In practical applications, water for evaporation is injected into the water tank assembly 6. When the humidifier starts working, the fan assembly 2 begins operation, and air flows along the path formed by the air inlet 11, the first cavity 101, the first connecting port 13, the inner cavity of the water tank assembly 6, the second connecting port 14, the second inner cavity 102, and the air outlet 12. The water evaporation carrier drive assembly 4 drives the water evaporation carrier 31 to circulate inside the water tank assembly 6. During this movement, the water evaporation carrier 31 carries water from the water surface of the water tank assembly 6, and the water on the water evaporation carrier 31 is evaporated and carried away by the passing air, thereby humidifying the air and achieving the humidification function. Under the wind force driven by the fan assembly 2, the water on the water evaporation carrier 31 is evaporated and sent out through the fan assembly 2. In the above process, due to the presence of the heating element component 5, when a large humidification capacity is required: the heating element component 5 is turned on, and the air passing through the heating element component 5 is heated and then passes through the water evaporation carrier 31, thereby evaporating the moisture on the water evaporation carrier 31. Heating and evaporation can greatly improve the humidification efficiency, achieve the effect of rapid humidification, and also inhibit bacterial growth; when a small humidifier is required, the heating element component 5 is turned off, which is cold evaporation humidification, and the temperature is adjustable, and the evaporation efficiency and evaporation speed are adjustable.

[0029] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the water evaporation carrier assembly 3 includes a carrier active roller 32, a plurality of carrier driven rollers 33, and a water evaporation carrier 31 wound between the carrier active roller 32 and the plurality of carrier driven rollers 33. The water evaporation carrier 31 is an annular water evaporation carrier with water absorption properties, connected end to end. The water evaporation carrier driving assembly 4 is used to drive the water evaporation carrier 31 to rotate on the carrier active roller 32 and the carrier driven rollers 33 to transport the water loaded in the water tank assembly 6 to the internal evaporation space of the water tank assembly 6 for evaporation. The water tank assembly 6 is provided with a roller mounting plate 34 for mounting the carrier active roller 32 and the carrier driven rollers 33.

[0030] In practical implementation, the water tank assembly 6 is equipped with a maximum water level line 63. At least one of the carrier active roller 32 and several carrier driven rollers 33 is positioned above the maximum water level line 63, and at least one of the carrier active roller 32 and several carrier driven rollers 33 is positioned below the maximum water level line 63. This configuration allows the water evaporation carrier 31 to switch between being exposed to and submerged in water during operation. While transporting evaporated water, it also effectively reduces mold growth, lowers the frequency of cleaning and replacement, and thus reduces maintenance costs and parts wear, resulting in excellent economic efficiency.

[0031] Specifically, in this embodiment, there is one carrier active roller 32 and four carrier driven rollers 33, namely a first driven roller, a second driven roller, a third driven roller, and a fourth driven roller. The carrier active roller 32 and the second driven roller are located above the maximum water level line 63, and the first driven roller, the third driven roller, and the fourth driven roller are located below the maximum water level line 63. Along the movement trajectory of the water evaporation carrier 31, the water evaporation carrier 31 sequentially passes around the water evaporation active roller 32, the first driven roller, the second driven roller, the third driven roller, and the fourth driven roller. Specifically, the carrier active roller 32 and the second driven roller are located on both sides inside the water tank assembly 6. The fourth driven roller and the third driven roller are located on both sides inside the water tank assembly 6 and are respectively arranged below the corresponding carrier active roller 32 and the second driven roller. The first driven roller is located below the middle position of the carrier active roller 32 and the second driven roller. When the water evaporation carrier 31 passes around the carrier active roller 32, the first driven roller, the second driven roller, the third driven roller and the fourth driven roller, it forms an M-shaped conveyor path, which helps to increase the evaporation area and improve the evaporation efficiency.

[0032] In some embodiments, the water evaporation carrier driving assembly 4 includes a drive motor 41, an output gear 42 disposed on the output shaft of the drive motor 41, and a transmission gear 43. The transmission gear 43 is fixedly mounted on one end of the carrier drive roller 32 and fixedly connected to the carrier drive roller 32. The drive motor 41 is connected to the carrier drive roller 32 through the output gear 42 and the transmission gear 43 and is used to drive the water evaporation carrier 31 to move inside the water tank assembly 6. Specifically, the water evaporation carrier assembly 4 is disposed on the roller mounting plate 34, which divides the inner cavity of the water tank assembly 6 into inner and outer spaces. The water evaporation carrier 31 is disposed in the inner space of the water tank assembly 6, and the water evaporation carrier assembly 4 is disposed in the outer space of the inner cavity of the water tank assembly 6. The roller mounting plate 34 has through holes to connect the inner and outer spaces of the inner cavity of the water tank assembly 6.

[0033] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 2 includes a motor assembly bracket 21 disposed inside the housing assembly 1, a motor 22 disposed on the motor assembly bracket 21, and a fan wheel 23 disposed on the output shaft of the motor 22. The motor assembly bracket 21 divides the internal cavity of the housing assembly 1 into a first cavity 101 and a second cavity 102. The air inlet 11 of the housing assembly 1 is disposed on the side wall of the housing assembly 1 and communicates with the first cavity 101. The air outlet 12 of the housing assembly 1 is disposed on the top of the housing assembly 1 and communicates with the second cavity 102. An air inlet screen 111 is provided at the air inlet 11, and the fan wheel 23 is disposed inside the second cavity 102. The heating element assembly 5 includes a heating element bracket 51, a heating element 52 disposed on the heating element bracket 51, and a fuse group 53.

[0034] In some embodiments, the housing assembly 1 and the water tank assembly 6 are detachably connected via a snap-fit ​​device. This connection structure facilitates assembly and disassembly, making it convenient for use and maintenance. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the housing assembly 1 has an internal water inlet channel 103, and the top of the housing assembly 1 has a water inlet 15 communicating with the water inlet channel 103. The lower outlet of the water inlet channel 103 communicates with the interior of the water tank assembly 6. In application, when the water in the water tank assembly 6 is depleted due to evaporation and needs replenishment, it is directly injected through the water inlet 15. The injected water then flows through the water inlet channel 103 into the interior of the water tank assembly 6, making it convenient to use. Additionally, the water tank assembly 6 includes a water tank 61 and a float 62 disposed inside the water tank 61. The float 62 and a sensing device can detect the actual water level inside the vertical assembly 6, providing reminders to add water and preventing dry burning.
