Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a wet curtain assembly and a humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Existing humidifiers typically use a fan to drive airflow through a water-moistened evaporative cooling pad to produce humidified air. However, the evaporative cooling pad is constantly in a high-humidity environment, making it highly susceptible to mold growth and mildew. This results in the humidified air being blown out with unpleasant odors, affecting user experience and health. Therefore, regular cleaning or replacement of the evaporative cooling pad is necessary. However, in current designs, the evaporative cooling pad is often directly embedded in the frame. The material expands after absorbing water, causing the connection between the evaporative cooling pad and the frame to become extremely tight, making it difficult for users to easily remove the evaporative cooling pad for maintenance.

[0029] The following is combined Figures 1 to 5 This invention describes a wet curtain assembly and humidifier provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It should be understood that the following description is merely an illustrative embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any particular limitation on the present invention.

[0030] An embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model provides a wet curtain assembly, such as... Figures 2 to 5 As shown, it includes: a fixed frame 100; at least one nozzle connected to the inside of the fixed frame 100 via a rotating joint assembly, the rotating joint assembly being able to rotate the nozzle in a direction away from or towards the fixed frame 100; and a wet curtain 600 sleeved on the nozzle.

[0031] The evaporative cooling pad assembly provided by this utility model includes a fixed frame, at least one spray pipe, a rotating joint assembly, and an evaporative cooling pad 600. The spray pipe is connected to the inside of the fixed frame 100 via the rotating joint assembly. The rotating joint assembly can rotate and cause the spray pipe to flip away from or towards the fixed frame 100. The evaporative cooling pad 600 is fitted onto the spray pipe. When it is necessary to replace or clean the evaporative cooling pad 600, the rotating joint assembly drives the spray pipe to flip the evaporative cooling pad 600 away from the fixed frame 100, and the evaporative cooling pad 600 can then be removed from the spray pipe. After completing the corresponding maintenance and cleaning operations, the evaporative cooling pad 600 is fitted onto the spray pipe, and the rotating joint assembly drives the spray pipe to flip the evaporative cooling pad 600 towards the fixed frame 100.

[0032] As described above, by rotating the nozzle and evaporative cooling pad 600 to rotate, the problem of the evaporative cooling pad 600 being difficult to remove from the frame due to water absorption and expansion is solved in existing humidifiers. When cleaning or replacing the evaporative cooling pad 600, the nozzle can be easily driven to move the evaporative cooling pad 600 away from the fixed frame 100, making it easy to remove the evaporative cooling pad 600 from the nozzle. After maintenance, the evaporative cooling pad 600 can be easily reinstalled on the nozzle and reset by rotating it, making the regular maintenance of the evaporative cooling pad 600 simpler. This reduces the possibility of mold growth and odors caused by untimely maintenance, ensuring a better user experience and health.

[0033] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotary joint assembly includes a rotary joint 310 and a fixed sleeve 320. The fixed sleeve 320 is fixed to the fixed frame 100, the rotary joint 310 is rotatably sleeved onto the fixed sleeve 320, and a portion of the rotary joint 310 is inserted into the nozzle.

[0034] Furthermore, in one embodiment of this utility model, a boss 330 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the rotary joint 310, and the boss 330 is pressed onto the fixed sleeve 320.

[0035] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the fixed sleeve 320 is fixedly installed vertically inside the fixed frame 100, the nozzle is arranged horizontally, and the rotating joint 310 is rotatably fitted into the fixed sleeve 320. The rotating joint 310 can be partially inserted into the nozzle and communicate with it. An annular boss 330 is provided on the outer wall of the rotating joint 310. The annular boss 330 can be circumferentially connected to the port of the fixed sleeve 320 to improve the rotational support effect of the rotating joint 310.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, at least one sealing ring is provided between the rotary joint 310 and the fixed sleeve 320 to seal the movable gap between the rotary joint 310 and the fixed sleeve 320.

[0037] In one embodiment of this utility model, a mounting bracket 400 is provided on the fixed frame 100, and the nozzle is engaged with the mounting bracket 400 after rotating to the fixed frame 100.

[0038] For example, such as Figure 5 As shown, the fixing sleeve 320 is located on the left side of the fixing frame 100, and the mounting bracket 400 is located on the right side of the fixing frame 100. The left end of the nozzle is inserted into the rotating joint 310 on the fixing sleeve 320, and the right end of the nozzle can be engaged with the mounting bracket 400. When the evaporative cooling pad 600 needs to be disassembled, the mounting bracket 400 is separated from the nozzle, and the rotating joint 310 is flipped so that the rotating joint 310 drives the nozzle to flip the evaporative cooling pad 600 away from the fixing frame 100. After the evaporative cooling pad 600 is replaced, the rotating joint 310 is flipped so that the rotating joint 310 drives the nozzle to flip the evaporative cooling pad 600 towards the fixing frame 100, and the nozzle is engaged with the mounting bracket 400. This improves the support strength of the evaporative cooling pad 600.

[0039] In one embodiment of this utility model, there are two nozzles, namely a first nozzle 210 and a second nozzle 220, with the first nozzle 210 located above the second nozzle 220.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 5 As shown, two fixing sleeves 320 are spaced apart along the vertical direction on the inner side of the fixed frame 100, and a rotating joint 310 is rotatably fitted inside each fixing sleeve 320. One rotating joint 310 is used to connect to the first nozzle 210, and the other rotating joint 310 is used to connect to the second nozzle 220. A guide pipe 500 is connected between the two rotating joints 310. Water delivered to the guide pipe 500 can be delivered to the first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 220 respectively through the two rotating joints 310. A retainer 400 is provided at corresponding positions of the first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 220 within the fixed frame 100 to provide auxiliary support for the first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 220.

[0041] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the upper part of the first nozzle 210 has a first nozzle hole 211. The front and / or rear sides of the second nozzle 220 have a second nozzle hole 221.

[0042] Therefore, the water in the first nozzle 210 is sprayed upwards through the first nozzle 211, and the water is absorbed by the evaporative cooling pad 600. Under the action of gravity, the water flows evenly to the front and back of the evaporative cooling pad 600. The water absorbed at the top of the evaporative cooling pad 600 will flow downwards under the action of gravity. If the second nozzle 221 of the second nozzle 220 is located on its upper pipe wall, it will be easily washed away by the water flowing from the top of the evaporative cooling pad 600, affecting the spraying effect. Therefore, the second nozzle 221 on the second nozzle 220 can be opened on its front and rear side walls, so that the second nozzle 220 can spray onto the front and back of the evaporative cooling pad 600 respectively, so as to evenly wet the front and back of the evaporative cooling pad 600.

[0043] In other embodiments of this utility model, the wet curtain 600 may also include two independent wet curtain 600 bodies, which are respectively sleeved on the first nozzle 210 and the second nozzle 220.

[0044] In one embodiment of this utility model, such as Figure 1 As shown, the wet curtain assembly also includes: a cover frame 700, which is fastened to the fixed frame 100, and the wet curtain 600 is located between the fixed frame 100 and the cover frame 700.

[0045] A second aspect of this utility model provides a humidifier, including the wet curtain assembly described above.

[0046] Furthermore, the humidifier provided by this utility model, since it includes the wet curtain assembly as described above, also possesses the advantages described above.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
