[0050] The first aspect of this application discloses a humidification device 100, which, in some embodiments, is combined with... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the humidifier 100 includes a main body 1000 and a mist outlet 2000. The main body 1000 is provided with an atomizing chamber and a mounting port 1310. The humidifier 100 is adapted to atomize water in the atomizing chamber to form water mist. The mounting port 1310 is connected to the atomizing chamber. The mist outlet 2000 is detachably provided in the mounting port 1310 to communicate with the atomizing chamber. The mist outlet 2000 is adapted to supply water mist for discharge.
[0051] In this embodiment, the mist outlet 2000 constitutes the mist exhaust end of the humidification device 100. The mist outlet 2000 is configured to be detachable, which facilitates disassembly and cleaning. Furthermore, the corresponding mist outlet 2000 can be installed according to different product appearances without requiring any design changes to the humidification device 100. This provides greater flexibility and effectively reduces production costs.
[0052] Specifically, the main body 1000 is provided with an atomizing chamber, which is a location / space for atomizing water. The humidifying device 100 can atomize the water entering the atomizing chamber to form water mist. There are various ways for water to enter the atomizing chamber, which can be found in related technologies and will not be described in detail here. For example, in some embodiments, the humidifying device 100 also includes a water tank 5000, and the main body 1000 is provided with a water replenishment chamber 1100. The water tank 5000 and the main body 1000 are detachably connected. The water tank 5000 is adapted to communicate with the water replenishment chamber 1100 when installed on the main body 1000 to supply water to the water replenishment chamber 1100. The water replenishment chamber 1100 is connected to the atomizing chamber so that the water in the water replenishment chamber 1100 is suitable for flowing to the atomizing chamber. The detachable connection scheme between the water tank 5000 and the main body 1000 can be found in related technologies. The atomizing chamber and the water replenishment chamber 1100 are connected. Water entering the water replenishment chamber 1100 can flow into the atomizing chamber, so that the humidifying device 100 can atomize the water in the atomizing chamber to form water mist.
[0053] Typically, the humidifier 100 is equipped with an atomizer to atomize water. The atomizer includes, but is not limited to, a vibrating plate or a heating element, as long as it can atomize water into mist. For example, the humidifier 100 includes a vibrating plate located at the bottom of the atomization chamber. When water enters the atomization chamber, it submerges the vibrating plate, which atomizes the water. The resulting water mist is formed in the atomization chamber and can then be discharged through the mounting port 1310. The water mist is not directly discharged to the external environment through the mounting port 1310. Instead, a mist outlet 2000 is installed at the mounting port 1310. When the mist outlet 2000 is installed in the mounting port 1310, it is connected to the atomization chamber. The water mist is discharged to the external environment through the mist outlet 2000 when it exits the atomization chamber.
[0054] In this embodiment, the mist outlet 2000 is detachably disposed at the mounting port 1310. That is, the mist outlet 2000 can be installed into the mounting port 1310 or detached from the mounting port 1310. The mist outlet 2000 can be detached by corresponding connection means, including but not limited to plug-in connection, screw connection, snap-fit connection, etc. The mist outlet 2000 can be disposed at the mounting port 1310 by plugging into the main body 1000, or by screwing into the main body 1000, or by first plugging into the main body 1000 and then screwing into the main body 1000 to be disposed at the mounting port 1310. The mist outlet 2000 is equivalent to the mist exhaust end of the humidifier 100. It is usually exposed to a certain extent in the product and is prone to getting dirty. With the detachable design of the mist outlet 2000, when the mist outlet 2000 gets dirty, it can be removed and cleaned. After cleaning, it can be reinstalled into the installation port 1310 to avoid the growth of bacteria.
[0055] Furthermore, by making the mist outlet 2000 detachable, the basic structure of the humidifier 100 can be changed without altering its material and color by replacing the mist outlet 2000 with another one. This allows for easy matching with different product appearances without requiring overall design improvements to the humidifier 100, thus helping to reduce costs and providing greater flexibility.
[0056] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 6 to 10 As shown, the mist outlet 2000 includes a hollow portion 2100, which is inserted into the mounting port 1310. The mist outlet 2000 is adapted to communicate with the atomizing chamber through the hollow portion 2100.
[0057] In this embodiment, the mist outlet 2000 includes a hollow portion 2100. The hollow portion 2100 is inserted into the mounting port 1310, thus achieving a plug-in connection with the main body 1000. The hollow portion 2100's hollow structure allows for communication with the atomizing chamber. It can be understood that when the hollow portion 2100 is inserted into the mounting port 1310, it can be an interference fit, thus fixing the mist outlet 2000 to the main body 1000. Alternatively, the hollow portion 2100 can be inserted into the mounting port 1310 with a clearance fit, further tightening using other connection methods. With further tightening using other connection methods, the hollow portion 2100 inserted into the mounting port 1310 serves as a preliminary positioning and installation point, facilitating subsequent tightening operations.
[0058] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 6 to 10As shown, the mist nozzle 2000 also includes a flanged portion 2200 extending circumferentially along the hollow portion 2100. The flanged portion 2200 is adapted to abut against the periphery of the mounting port 1310 when the hollow portion 2100 is inserted into the mounting port 1310. In this embodiment, the flanged portion 2200 and the hollow portion 2100 are manufactured in one piece. When the mist nozzle 2000 is inserted into the mounting port 1310 through the hollow portion 2100, as the insertion process moves, until the flanged portion 2200 abuts against (either directly or indirectly) the periphery of the mounting port 1310, indicating that the assembly is in place.
[0059] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 As shown, the main body 1000 is disposed within the housing of the humidifier 100. The housing of the humidifier 100 has an exposed opening 7310 suitable for inserting the mist nozzle 2000. The mist nozzle 2000 is also suitable for connecting the main body 1000 and the housing of the humidifier 100 via threaded fasteners. In this embodiment, when the housing of the humidifier 100, the mist nozzle 2000, and the main body 1000 are assembled together, further tightening is achieved by screw connection. For example, screw holes are provided on opposite sides of the mist nozzle 2000, and the main body 1000 and the housing of the humidifier 100 (such as the front cover 7300 mentioned below) are respectively provided with corresponding screw holes. Further threaded tightening is achieved by using screws. In this way, the housing of the humidifier and the main body 1000 clamp the mist nozzle 2000, and the mist nozzle 2000 has stronger stability after the product is assembled and is less prone to shaking.
[0060] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 5 to 8 As shown, the humidifier 100 also includes a sealing ring 3000, which is disposed between the mist outlet 2000 and the mounting port 1310. Since the mist outlet 2000 is detachable, a sealing ring 3000 is provided between the mist outlet 2000 and the mounting port 1310 to form a seal in order to prevent leakage. The material of the sealing ring 3000 includes, but is not limited to, silicone, rubber, etc.
[0061] Specifically, combined Figure 8 As shown, the sealing ring 3000 includes a first ring portion 3100 and a second ring portion 3200 disposed on the first ring portion 3100 and extending away from the first ring portion 3100. For example, the second ring portion 3200 is perpendicular to the first ring portion 3100. The first ring portion 3100 is disposed between the hollow portion 2100 and the inner wall of the mounting opening 1310, and the second ring portion 3200 is disposed between the flange portion 2200 and the periphery of the mounting opening 1310, which can improve the sealing effect.
[0062] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 1 to 10As shown, the main body 1000 is provided with a water supply channel, which is connected to the atomizing chamber so that the water in the water supply channel is suitable for flowing to the atomizing chamber. The humidifying device 100 also includes a flow guiding structure 4000, which is suitable for receiving the condensation formed outside the main body 1000 when the water mist is discharged from the mist outlet 2000 and guiding it to the water supply channel.
[0063] When water mist is discharged from the mist outlet 2000, condensation will form. For example, due to insufficient water mist diffusion or condensation, condensation may form around the mist outlet 2000. If the condensation is not treated, it will flow downwards under the influence of gravity to the humidifier 100's placement environment. Users need to wipe the condensation regularly, and the user experience needs to be improved.
[0064] Therefore, in this embodiment, the humidifier 100 includes a flow guiding structure 4000, which is adapted to receive condensation formed outside the main body 1000 when water mist is discharged from the mist outlet 2000 and guide it to the water replenishment channel. For example, when water mist is discharged from the mist outlet 2000, condensation forms around the mist outlet 2000. The condensation flows downward under the action of gravity and is thus received by the flow guiding structure 4000, preventing the condensation from flowing into the placement environment of the humidifier 100 and causing water accumulation, thus reducing safety risks. The flow guiding structure 4000 receives the condensation and guides it to the water replenishment channel, so the condensation can be reused for atomization again, which not only improves the water utilization rate, but also eliminates the need to set up a separate container to collect and treat the condensation, thus improving the user experience. Optionally, at least a portion of the water supply chamber 1100 constitutes a water supply channel, eliminating the need for a separate water supply channel and simplifying the structure. The flow guiding structure 4000 directs the condensate to the water supply channel (water supply chamber 1100) rather than directly to the atomizing chamber, preventing water mist from leaking from the atomizing chamber through the flow guiding structure 4000.
[0065] In some embodiments, the mist outlet 2000 can be opened laterally, which can be understood as a roughly horizontal direction. For example, the mist outlet 2000 is located at the front of the humidifier 100, so that the water mist can be discharged directly forward, which helps to achieve humidification directly in front of the humidifier 100. Since the water mist will sink to a certain extent, in order to expand the mist outlet range of the humidifier 100, in some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the mist outlet 2000 is tilted upwards and opens. For example, the mist outlet 2000 is located on the front side of the humidifier 100. The mist outlet 2000 is tilted upwards and opens forwards, so that the water mist can be discharged upwards and forwards, which helps to humidify the space.
[0066] Based on this, to facilitate the collection of condensate, the flow guiding structure 4000 needs to be positioned below the mist outlet 2000. In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9As shown, the flow guiding structure 4000 includes a water receiving trough 4100, which is located below the mist outlet 2000 to receive condensate and guide it to the water replenishment channel. By setting the water receiving trough 4100 below the mist outlet 2000, when the condensate flows downward, it can fall directly into the water receiving trough 4100 and be received and guided to the water replenishment channel.
[0067] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 As shown, a gap 4110 is formed between the water receiving tank 4100 and the mist outlet 2000, located above the water receiving tank 4100, or a gap 4110 is formed between the water receiving tank 4100, the mist outlet 2000, and the main body 1000, located above the water receiving tank 4100. Since the water receiving tank 4100 is located below the mist outlet 2000, by forming the gap 4110, the water receiving tank 4100 and the corresponding mist outlet 2000 and the main body 1000 are arranged alternately, and the condensed water flows along the water receiving tank 4100 without obstruction, which facilitates the guidance to the interior of the humidification device 100. For example, the main body 1000 is provided with an exhaust channel 1300 that communicates with the atomizing chamber. The end of the exhaust channel 1300 forms an installation port 1310. The water tank 4100 is located below the mist outlet 2000 and also below the exhaust channel 1300, thus forming a gap 4110 between the water tank 4100 and the mist outlet 2000 and the exhaust channel 1300.
[0068] Optionally, in some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 As shown, the gap 4110 is set to gradually widen along the flow direction of the condensate. In this way, when the user stands in front of the mist nozzle 2000, it is difficult to observe the inside of the gap 4110, and it is also difficult to observe other internal structures of the humidifier 100 through the gap 4110. This satisfies the flow of condensate and also improves the aesthetics.
[0069] When the mist nozzle 2000 includes a hollow portion 2100 and a flanged portion 2200, the portion of the flanged portion 2200 located below the hollow portion 2100 extends toward the water receiving tank 4100. When condensate flows downwards, if it flows along the surface of the mist nozzle 2000, it will be blocked by the portion of the flanged portion 2200 located below the hollow portion 2100. Since this portion extends toward the water receiving tank 4100, and the water receiving tank 4100 is located below the mist nozzle 2000, that is, the portion of the flanged portion 2200 located below the hollow portion 2100 extends downwards, the condensate is more likely to detach and drip into the water receiving tank 4100 when it flows to this portion.
[0070] For example, the mist nozzle 2000 extends upward at an angle, and the water receiving tank 4100 is located below the mist nozzle 2000. When the water mist is discharged from the mist nozzle 2000, the condensate formed can flow along the lower surface of the mist nozzle 2000. When the condensate encounters the flange 2200, it can drip into the water receiving tank 4100.
[0071] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 10 As shown, the water receiving tank 4100 is inclined downwards, so that when the water receiving tank 4100 receives condensate, the condensate can flow towards the water replenishment channel under the action of gravity, without the need for a power device.
[0072] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, a portion of the water receiving trough 4100 protrudes relative to the mist outlet 2000, so that this portion of the water receiving trough 4100 is exposed relative to the mist outlet 2000 in a top-to-bottom direction. That is, when only the mist outlet 2000 and the water receiving trough 4100 are in contact, the top of the water receiving trough 4100 can be observed when viewed from a top-to-bottom direction. For example, if the mist outlet 2000 is located at the front of the humidifier 100, the water receiving trough 4100 protrudes forward relative to the mist outlet 2000, thus better collecting condensate.
[0073] It is understandable that when the humidifier 100 discharges water mist, it will create a certain airflow, or the water mist will be discharged under the action of the airflow. The airflow may cause the condensate to move in a parabolic motion to a certain extent. Therefore, the water receiving trough 4100 is protruding relative to the mist outlet 2000 to collect as much condensate as possible and improve the condensate collection effect. For example, the horizontal protrusion distance of the water receiving trough 4100 relative to the mist outlet 2000 is d1, which satisfies d1≥1mm. d1 can be 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm or other distances, which can be determined according to the actual product requirements.
[0074] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the flow guiding structure 4000 also includes a downwardly inclined water guiding channel 4200. The water guiding channel 4200 is suitable for receiving condensate from the receiving channel 4100 and guiding it to the water replenishment channel. The inclination of the water guiding channel 4200 is less than that of the receiving channel 4100. The inclination is the angle between the receiving channel and the horizontal plane. The larger the angle, the greater the inclination. The relatively larger inclination of the receiving channel 4100 can quickly guide the condensate away, while the relatively smaller inclination of the water guiding channel 4200 can appropriately slow down the condensate before it flows into the water replenishment channel. Furthermore, the smaller inclination reduces the space occupied in the vertical direction, which helps to improve space utilization and makes the structure more compact.
[0075] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9As shown, the flow guiding structure 4000 also includes a downwardly inclined water guiding channel 4200, the end of the water receiving channel 4100 extends above the water guiding channel 4200, and the water guiding channel 4200 is adapted to guide condensate to the water replenishment channel.
[0076] The end of the water receiving trough 4100, i.e., its bottom, extends above the water guiding trough 4200. Projecting downwards onto a horizontal plane, the projected portions of the water receiving trough 4100 and the water guiding trough 4200 overlap. This allows the water guiding trough 4200 to collect the condensate from the water receiving trough 4100. While ensuring a certain flow path for the condensate, the arrangement of the water receiving trough 4100 and the water guiding trough 4200 reduces the size of individual components (water receiving trough 4100 or water guiding trough 4200), simplifying manufacturing. The water receiving trough 4100 and the water guiding trough 4200 are arranged roughly along the direction of water flow. See [reference needed]. Figure 9 As shown, the water receiving trough 4100 is located on the front side, and the water guiding trough 4200 is located on the rear side. Water flows from the water receiving trough 4100 to the water guiding trough 4200, and then flows along the water guiding trough 4200 to the water replenishment channel under the action of gravity. It can be understood that the water receiving trough 4100 extends above the water guiding trough 4200; the water receiving trough 4100 and the water guiding trough 4200 can be in contact, or the water receiving trough 4100 and the water guiding trough 4200 can be arranged alternately.
[0077] Optionally, in some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 As shown, the length of the water receiving tank 4100 extending above the water guiding tank 4200 in the horizontal direction is d2, which satisfies d2≥2mm, ensuring that the condensate that leaves the water receiving tank 4100 falls into the water guiding tank 4200 and then flows along the water guiding tank 4200.
[0078] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the flow guiding structure 4000 also includes a water inlet channel 4300, which is connected to the water guide channel 4200 and extends downward from the water guide channel 4200 toward the water replenishment channel.
[0079] The water inlet channel 4300 and the water guide channel 4200 are connected. The water inlet channel 4300 extends vertically, and the water supply channel is located below the water inlet channel 4300. Condensed water flows along the water guide channel 4200 to the water inlet channel 4300 and then to the water supply channel. The vertical extension of the water inlet channel 4300 creates a large space below the water receiving channel 4100, the water guide channel 4200, and the water inlet channel 4300 for accommodating the arrangement of other structures. Because the water guide channel 4200 slows down the flow of condensed water, it flows smoothly from the water guide channel 4200 to the water inlet channel 4300. Furthermore, a space for installing a water tank 5000 is formed above the water supply channel on one side of the water inlet channel 4300, resulting in a compact structure.
[0080] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the main body 1000 is disposed inside the housing of the humidifier 100. The housing of the humidifier 100 has an external opening 7310. The mist outlet 2000 is inserted into the external opening 7310 and the mist outlet 2000 is retracted into the housing of the humidifier 100 relative to the external opening 7310. The water receiving tank 4100 extends downward at an angle from the bottom or below of the external opening 7310 toward the inside of the housing of the humidifier 100.
[0081] The outer shell of the humidifier 100 is the external structure of the humidifier 100, which shields and protects the internal structure of the humidifier 100, such as the main body 1000. The outer shell is provided with an exposed opening 7310. The mist outlet 2000 needs to cooperate with the exposed opening 7310. The so-called cooperation means that the mist outlet 2000 needs to be aligned with the exposed opening 7310 so that water mist can be discharged to the outside. With this arrangement, when water mist is discharged from the mist outlet 2000, it needs to continue to be discharged to the outside through the exposed opening 7310. As the mist outlet 2000 is retracted into the outer shell of the humidifier 100 relative to the exposed opening 7310, condensation will form on the inner wall of the exposed opening 7310 and then flow downwards to be received by the water receiving tank 4100, thus preventing condensation from flowing to the outer surface of the humidifier's outer shell.
[0082] With the water tank 4100 extending downwards at an angle from the bottom of the exposed opening 7310 toward the interior of the humidifier 100 housing, the user's ability to observe the internal structure through the opening of the gap 4110 is minimized as much as possible.
[0083] Optionally, the retraction distance of the mist nozzle 2000 relative to the exposed opening 7310 is not less than 1 mm, and the retraction distance is measured in the horizontal direction, see [reference]. Figure 3 In the above text, d3 is greater than or equal to 1 mm, so that it can more effectively receive condensate. It can be understood that, as mentioned above, the horizontal protrusion distance of the water receiving groove 4100 relative to the mist outlet 2000 is d1. When the water receiving groove 4100 extends from the bottom of the exposed opening 7310, d1 is equal to d3.
[0084] In some embodiments, combined with Figures 9 to 11 As shown, a water receiving trough 4100 is disposed within the housing of the humidifier 100. By disposing the water receiving trough 4100 within the housing of the humidifier 100, it can be supported by the housing, and its water-receiving effect is improved when condensation forms on the inner wall of the exposed opening 7310. Optionally, at least a portion of the water receiving trough 4100 and the housing of the humidifier 100 are integrally formed, thereby reducing the number of parts, facilitating manufacturing, and simplifying the structure.
[0085] In some embodiments, the periphery of the mist outlet 2000 abuts against the top and sides of the exposed opening 7310, such as through the flange 2200. This arrangement prevents water mist from flowing back into the interior of the humidifier 100 housing. It is understood that at the moment the water mist is discharged, it flows along the opening direction of the mist outlet 2000 and the exposed opening 7310 due to inertia. Therefore, even if the periphery of the mist outlet 2000 does not abut against the bottom of the exposed opening 7310, water mist will not leak into the interior of the housing through this point.
[0086] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the water guide channel 4200 is provided on the main body 1000, so the main body 1000 supports the water guide channel 4200. There is no need to set up an additional support structure for the water guide channel 4200, which helps to make the structure more compact.
[0087] Optionally, the outer surface structure of the main body 1000 is formed with a water guide groove 4200, thus making full use of the structure and space occupied by the main body 1000. For example, the main body 1000 includes a base 1410 and a cover 1420 covering the base 1410. The upper surface of the cover 1420 forms the bottom of the water guide groove 4200, and water-blocking ribs are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the cover 1420, thus forming the water guide groove 4200. The cover 1420 can be integrally molded to form the water guide groove 4200 simultaneously, eliminating the need to manufacture the water guide groove 4200 separately, thus simplifying the structure.
[0088] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 9 As shown, the water inlet trough 4300 is disposed on the main body 1000, so the main body 1000 supports the water inlet trough 4300, eliminating the need for additional support structures for the water inlet trough 4300, which helps to make the structure more compact.
[0089] Optionally, the outer surface structure of the main body 1000 forms a water channel 4300, thus making full use of the structure and space occupied by the main body 1000. For example, the main body 1000 includes a base 1410 and a cover 1420 covering the base 1410. The side surface of the cover 1420 forms the bottom of the water channel 4300, and water-retaining ribs are formed on both sides of the side surface of the cover 1420, thus forming the water channel 4300. The water channel 4300 can be formed simultaneously during the integral molding of the cover 1420, eliminating the need to manufacture the water channel 4300 separately, thus simplifying the structure. In other words, the water channel 4200 and the water channel 4300 can be formed simultaneously during the integral molding of the cover 1420.
[0090] As can be seen from the above, when the water guide channel 4200 and the water inlet channel 4300 are formed on the outer surface structure of the main body 1000, the water guide channel 4200 is inclined downward, and the water inlet channel 4300 extends downward from the water guide channel 4200. Furthermore, the inclination of the water guide channel 4200 is less than the inclination of the water inlet channel 4100. Thus, the space enclosed by the water guide channel 4200 and the water inlet channel 4300 corresponds to the internal space of the main body 1000, making full use of the space and resulting in a compact structure.
[0091] The second aspect of this application discloses a blower device 10, which, in some embodiments, is combined with Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the blower device 10 includes a fan assembly 200 and the aforementioned humidification device 100. The fan assembly 200 is used to deliver air during operation. The humidification device 100 includes a main body 1000 and a mist outlet 2000. The main body 1000 is provided with an atomizing chamber and a mounting port 1310. The humidification device 100 is adapted to atomize water in the atomizing chamber to form water mist. The mounting port 1310 communicates with the atomizing chamber. The mist outlet 2000 is detachably disposed at the mounting port 1310 to communicate with the atomizing chamber and is adapted to supply water mist for discharge. It is understood that the humidification device 100 of the blower device 10 in this embodiment adopts the technical solution of the above embodiment, and therefore has at least the beneficial effects brought by the technical solution of the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.
[0092] The fan device 200 is positioned above the humidification device 100. The fan device 200 includes a fan wheel and a motor. The fan wheel is a cross-flow fan wheel, and the rotation axis of the fan wheel extends in the vertical direction. The motor drives the fan wheel to rotate, thereby blowing air from back to front.
[0093] The fan device 200 and the humidifier 100 can operate independently without interference. That is, the fan device 200 can be controlled independently, the humidifier 100 can be controlled independently, or both can be controlled simultaneously. When the humidifier 100 discharges water mist, it can be carried by the airflow generated by the fan device 200 to a farther location, thus further humidifying the environment.
[0094] Optionally, the blower may also include a heating device, such as a heating wire, a PTC heating element (a heating element made of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor material), etc. When the heating device is working, the airflow driven by the fan device 200 flows through the heating device, thus blowing out hot air. When the heating device is not working, the fan device 200 blows out room temperature air.
[0095] In some embodiments, the blower device 10 includes a front housing 7100, a rear housing 7200, a front cover plate 7300, and a rear grille 7400. The front housing 7100 and the rear housing 7200 are connected to surround the fan assembly 200 and the humidifying device 100. The connection between the front housing 7100 and the rear housing 7200 constitutes the skeleton structure of the blower device 10, and the fan assembly 200 and the humidifying device 100 are disposed between the front housing 7100 and the rear housing 7200 for good support. The front cover plate 7300 is detachably connected to the front housing 7100 and is provided with the exposed opening 7310 mentioned above. The rear grille 7400 is connected to the rear housing 7200 and is located in the air intake direction of the fan assembly. The rear grille 7400 provides protection for the fan assembly 200. The front housing 7100, rear housing 7200, front cover 7300, and rear grille 7400 constitute at least part of the outer casing of the humidifier 100 mentioned above, and the water inlet 4100 can be integrally molded with the front cover 7300. Optionally, the rear grille 7400 and the rear housing 7200 are detachably connected, and the rear grille 7400 is adapted to expose the water tank 5000 when the rear housing 7200 is removed, thus facilitating the removal and installation of the water tank 5000 for water replenishment.
[0096] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the concept of this application and the contents of the specification and drawings of this application, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this application.
