[0039] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are merely some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments of the present invention. These embodiments are intended to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Based on the embodiments provided by the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should still fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0040] It should be noted that in the description of this utility model, terms such as "center," "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," which indicate direction or positional relationships, are based on the direction or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. These are used merely for ease of description and do not indicate or imply that the corresponding device or element must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0041] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances. For example, unless otherwise specified, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing" can specifically refer to any feasible connection form such as bolt connection, screw connection, welding, insertion, riveting, fusion welding, or snap-fit.
[0042] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, mm represents millimeter, cm represents centimeter, and m represents meter.
[0043] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the description of this utility model, the terms "coldness" and "heat" are two descriptions of the same physical state. That is, the higher the "coldness" of a target object (e.g., evaporator, air, condenser, etc.), the lower its "heat," and vice versa. A target object absorbs "coldness" while releasing "heat," and releases "coldness" while absorbing "heat." A target object retains "coldness" or "heat" to maintain its current temperature. "Refrigeration" and "heat absorption" are two descriptions of the same physical phenomenon; that is, a target object (e.g., evaporator) absorbs heat while refrigerating.
[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the air processor 001 includes a body 100, a top cover 200, a light-transmitting cover 300, a light-emitting unit 400, and an optional diffuser 500.
[0045] The unit 100 is placed on a support surface and used to process air. This support surface can be a ground, tabletop, chair top, or other similar surface.
[0046] The top cover 200 is located on the top side of the body 100. The outer surface of the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200 is provided with a plurality of vertically spaced protrusions 211 along the circumferential direction. The circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200 is provided with a reflective coating 212.
[0047] The light-transmitting cover 300 is fitted onto the outside of the top cover 200.
[0048] The light-emitting unit 400 is disposed between the top cover 200 and the light-transmitting cover 300. The light emitted by the light-emitting unit 400 is reflected out of the light-transmitting cover 300 through the reflective coating 212 to form alternating light and dark patterns.
[0049] The diffuser plate 500 is used to uniformly diffuse the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 400. Of course, in other embodiments of this utility model, those skilled in the art can omit the diffuser plate 500 as needed.
[0050] Those skilled in the art will understand that by providing a plurality of spaced vertical protrusions 211 along the circumferential direction on the outer surface of the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200, and by providing a reflective coating 212 on the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200, the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 400 can be reflected through the reflective coating 212 out of the light-transmitting cover 300 and form alternating light and dark patterns, thereby improving the aesthetics and visual effect of the air processor 001.
[0051] In this invention, the air processor 001 can be an air purifier, a humidifier, or a dehumidifier.
[0052] When the air processor 001 is an air purifier, it has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 201 (e.g., Figure 3 (As shown). The body 100 may be equipped with components such as filters. The air inlet 101 may be located on the rear side of the body 100, and the air outlet 201 may be located on the top cover 200.
[0053] When the air processor 001 is a humidifier, the body 100 may be equipped with components such as a water tank and an atomizer.
[0054] When the air processor 001 is a dehumidifier, it has an air inlet 101 and an air outlet 201. The unit body 100 may be equipped with components such as a water collection tank, an evaporator, and a compressor.
[0055] Of course, those skilled in the art can also, as needed, make the air processor 001 of this utility model have at least two of the three functions of air purification, humidification and dehumidification.
[0056] like Figures 4 to 7As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the top cover 200 can be snapped onto the body 100 by a buckle, or it can be connected together by any feasible connection method such as screw connection or plug connection.
[0057] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the light-transmitting cover 300 can be snapped into the top cover 200, and the bottom of the light-transmitting cover 300 can be snapped into the body 100.
[0058] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in the assembled state, a cavity (not marked in the figure) is defined between the top cover 200 and the light-transmitting cover 300. The light-emitting unit 400 and the diffuser plate 500 are both disposed on the bottom side of this cavity so that the light-emitting unit 400 emits light from bottom to top.
[0059] from Figure 4 and Figure 5 As can be seen from this, in some embodiments of the present invention, the thickness of the cavity between the top cover 200 and the light-transmitting cover 300 gradually decreases from bottom to top, so that the side of the top cover 200 and the light-transmitting cover 300 that are close to each other reflects light, which can block the upward transmission of light.
[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the outer surface of the vertical protrusion 211 is provided with a reflective coating 212, and the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200 is provided with a reflective coating 212 in the area between two adjacent vertical protrusions 211, so that the different thicknesses of the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200 due to the vertical protrusions 211 will create differences in the intensity of light reflection, thereby forming light patterns when the light passes through the light-transmitting cover 300.
[0061] Furthermore, the reflective coating 212 can be applied to the entire circumferential wall 210, or it can be applied only to the bottom or lower middle part of the circumferential wall 210.
[0062] Of course, those skilled in the art may, as needed, provide a reflective coating 212 only on the outer surface of the vertical protrusions 211, or only in the area of the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200 between two adjacent vertical protrusions 211, so as to make the alternating light and dark stripes more obvious.
[0063] It should be noted that in this invention, the reflective coating 212 can be any color coating, such as silver, red, or blue. Furthermore, the material of the reflective coating 212 can be any material, such as metal particles or paint.
[0064] like Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the width of the vertical protrusion 211 gradually increases from bottom to top, so that the light pattern has a width variation in the vertical direction, thereby making it more aesthetically pleasing.
[0065] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the width W1 of the bottom end of the vertical protrusion 211 can be selected from any value from 0.8mm to 1.3mm, such as any feasible value such as 0.8mm, 0.85mm, 0.9mm, 0.97mm, 1mm, 1.13mm, 1.16mm, 1.18mm, 1.2mm, 1.23mm, 1.27mm, 1.3mm, etc.
[0066] Continue reading Figure 8 In some embodiments of this utility model, the width W2 of the top of the vertical protrusion 211 can be selected from any value from 1.3mm to 1.8mm, such as any feasible value such as 1.3mm, 1.35mm, 1.4mm, 1.42mm, 1.47mm, 1.5mm, 1.6mm, 1.67mm, 1.7mm, 1.73mm, 1.8mm, etc.
[0067] Continue reading Figure 8 In some embodiments of this utility model, the height H of the vertical protrusion 211 is selected from any value from 50mm to 80mm, such as any feasible value of 50mm, 58mm, 60mm, 65mm, 68mm, 70mm, 73mm, 75.6mm, 78mm, 80mm, etc.
[0068] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of vertical protrusions 211 are arranged at equal intervals along the circumference of the top cover 200.
[0069] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the distance S between two adjacent vertical protrusions 211 to the width (W1 or W2) of the vertical protrusion 211 is selected from any value from 2 to 5, specifically any feasible value such as 2, 2.32, 2.5, 3, 3.1, 3.7, 4, 4.5, 5, etc.
[0070] Those skilled in the art will understand that the aforementioned values of the spacing S between two adjacent vertical protrusions 211 and the width of the vertical protrusion 211 facilitate the spraying of the reflective coating 212 onto the circumferential wall 210 of the top cover 200 by the operator and ensure the uniformity of the reflective coating 212.
[0071] Continue reading Figure 8In some embodiments of this utility model, the thickness D of the vertical protrusion 211 is selected from any value from 0.2mm to 1mm, such as any feasible value such as 0.2mm, 0.22mm, 0.27mm, 0.3mm, 0.35mm, 0.4mm, 0.46mm, 0.5mm, 0.7mm, 0.8mm, 0.9mm, 1mm, etc.
[0072] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this utility model, the ratio of the thickness D of the vertical protrusion 211 to the width (W1 or W2) of the vertical protrusion 211 can be selected from any value from 0.25 to 0.55, specifically any feasible value such as 0.25, 0.27, 0.3, 0.37, 0.4, 0.43, 0.5, 0.51, 0.55, etc.
[0073] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the top cover 200 has an annular flange 220 at the top of the circumferential wall 210, so that the top cover 200 overlaps with the top of the light-transmitting cover 300 through the annular flange 220. In addition, the vertical protrusion 211 extends from the diffuser plate 500 to the annular flange 220 to increase the height of the light pattern and to increase the structural strength of the top cover 200.
[0074] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the top surface of the diffuser plate 500, away from the light-emitting unit 400, protrudes upwards so that the light emitted by the light-emitting unit 400 can be diffused evenly through the convex top surface.
[0075] Furthermore, the curvature of the top surface of the diffuser 500 is less than or equal to 3 rad, for example, it can be any feasible value such as 0.5 rad, 1 rad, 1.1 rad, 1.3 rad, 1.5 rad, 1.8 rad, 2 rad, 2.3 rad, 2.4 rad, 2.7 rad, 3 rad, etc.
[0076] Furthermore, the central angle corresponding to the cross-section of the top surface of the diffuser 500 is selected from any value between 45° and 75°, for example, it can be any feasible value such as 45°, 50°, 58°, 61°, 63°, 66°, 71°, 73°, 75°, etc.
[0077] Those skilled in the art will understand that by making the top surface of the diffuser 500 meet the above-mentioned requirements for curvature and / or rounded corners, the height of the light pattern transmitted from the light-transmitting cover 300 is neither too high, which would be absorbed by the annular flange 220 of the top cover 200, resulting in waste, nor too low, which would affect the aesthetics of the light pattern.
[0078] Although not shown in the figures, in some embodiments of this invention, the light-transmitting cover 300 can be configured as a semi-transparent form. For example, the light-transmitting cover 300 can be made of a semi-transparent material so that when the light-emitting unit 400 is turned off, the light-transmitting cover 300 can obstruct the user's line of sight and prevent the vertical protrusion 211 from being clearly seen by the user.
[0079] Furthermore, although not shown in the figure, in some embodiments of this utility model, the light-emitting unit 400 is a strip light and may have LED beads of three colors: red, green and blue, so that by controlling the combination of the three colors of LED beads, the light-emitting unit 400 can emit light of different colors.
[0080] Based on the foregoing description, those skilled in the art will understand that the air processor 001 of this utility model can present users with a visual effect of light patterns, which is more aesthetically pleasing and enhances the user experience.
[0081] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with several embodiments above. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, those skilled in the art can disassemble and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the technical concept and / or technical principles of this utility model will fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
