Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of humidifiers, and more particularly to an ultrasonic humidifier with a multifunctional modular structure. Background Technology

[0002] In modern life, ultrasonic humidifiers, with their efficient atomization performance and convenient use, are widely used in homes, offices, and other environments. They can effectively improve air dryness and enhance people's living and working comfort. Traditional ultrasonic humidifiers typically employ a design where both the water inlet and the mist outlet are located on the first cover, which to some extent fulfills the basic functions of a humidifier.

[0003] However, due to the limited volume of the mist nozzle, the size of the water inlet is inevitably restricted within the confined space of the first tank cover. When users add water to the tank through this inlet, the small diameter not only increases the difficulty of adding water but also easily leads to overflow and leakage. Leaks not only soil the environment but may also cause safety hazards such as short circuits, seriously affecting the user experience and product safety.

[0004] Therefore, optimizing the structural design of ultrasonic humidifiers and solving the problems of limited water inlet size and leakage has become a pressing technical challenge in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, it is necessary to provide an ultrasonic humidifier with a multifunctional modular structure to solve the problem of limited water inlet size in ultrasonic humidifiers.

[0044] Embodiments of this application provide an ultrasonic humidifier with a multifunctional modular structure, comprising:

[0045] A water tank, wherein a water inlet is provided on the water tank;

[0046] A first tank cover is provided on the water inlet, and a mist outlet is provided on the first tank cover;

[0047] A water trough is provided on the water tank, and both the water tank and the mist outlet are connected to the water trough.

[0048] An atomizing plate is disposed inside the water tank;

[0049] The aforementioned ultrasonic humidifier with a multi-functional modular structure features a mist outlet on the first lid, while the water inlet is located separately on the water tank. This design eliminates the need for the first lid to accommodate both the water inlet and the mist outlet simultaneously, thus removing the limitation imposed by the mist outlet on the size of the water inlet. Users can use a larger diameter water inlet for adding water. The larger water inlet not only reduces the difficulty of adding water but also minimizes the risk of water overflow or leakage due to an insufficiently large inlet.

[0050] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0051] Please see Figures 1-6 This application provides an embodiment of an ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multifunctional modular structure, comprising:

[0052] Water tank 1, with a water inlet 15 on it;

[0053] First box cover 16, the first box cover 16 is placed on the water inlet 15, and the first box cover 16 is provided with a mist outlet 2;

[0054] Water tank 3 is located on water tank 1, and both water tank 1 and mist nozzle 2 are connected to water tank 3.

[0055] Atomizing plate 4 is placed inside water tank 3.

[0056] Specifically, the water tank 1 is the water storage container for the entire ultrasonic humidifier, used to store the water required for humidification. The water inlet 15 provides a channel for users to add water to the water tank 1, allowing for convenient water replenishment at any time. By setting up a dedicated water tank 1, a certain amount of water can be stored centrally, ensuring the humidifier can operate continuously and stably for a period of time, reducing the inconvenience of frequent water refills and improving user convenience. The first tank cover 16 is placed over the water inlet 15 of the water tank 1, sealing the water tank 1 and preventing water from overflowing or being contaminated by the outside environment when the humidifier is not in operation. Simultaneously, the first tank cover 16 has a mist outlet 2, which is the channel through which the humidifier discharges atomized water vapor into the external environment, allowing the water vapor to diffuse into the air in a predetermined direction, achieving the humidification function. The sealing design of the first tank cover 16 effectively protects the water quality in the water tank 1, preventing dust, impurities, etc., from entering the water tank 1, ensuring the cleanliness and hygiene of the humidification water, and extending the service life of the humidifier. A water trough 3 is located on top of the water tank 1, and the water tank 1 is connected to the water trough 3. Its function is to guide the water in the water tank 1 into the water trough 3, providing a stable water source for the atomizing plate 4. The connection between the water trough 3 and the water tank 1 can be achieved by a pipe structure installed between the water tank 1 and the water trough 3. The water trough 3 serves as a temporary water storage and supply area, ensuring that the atomizing plate 4 can continuously obtain enough water for atomization during operation. By setting up the water trough 3, a water path transition is achieved between the water tank 1 and the atomizing plate 4, making the water supply more stable and orderly. The atomizing plate 4 is located inside the water trough 3 and is the core component of the ultrasonic humidifier. It uses the principle of high-frequency ultrasonic oscillation to disperse the water in the water trough 3 into tiny water particles, forming a water mist. This water mist is discharged into the air through the mist outlet 2, increasing the humidity of the air. The user adds an appropriate amount of water to the water tank 1 through the water inlet 15 on the water tank 1, and then closes the first tank cover 16 on the water inlet 15 to ensure that the water tank 1 is sealed. Typically, the water tank 1 is positioned above the water trough 3 in the direction of gravity. The connection between the water tank 1 and the water trough 3 allows water in the tank 1 to gradually flow into the water trough 3 under gravity, maintaining a constant water level. When the humidifier is powered on, the atomizing plate 4 begins operation, using ultrasonic high-frequency oscillation to atomize the water in the water trough 3 into tiny particles, forming a mist. This mist accumulates in the water trough 3 and travels through pipes and other structures connected to the mist outlet 2 to reach the mist outlet 2 on the first cover 16. The mist outlet 2 discharges the mist into the external environment. As the mist is continuously discharged, water from the water tank 1 continuously flows into the water trough 3 to replenish it, ensuring the atomizing plate 4 continues to operate, thus achieving continuous humidification.

[0057] In one specific example, the first tank cover 16 is slidably connected to the water tank 1, and the water tank 1 is provided with a positioning part 13, which is located on the sliding path of the first tank cover 16.

[0058] Specifically, the first cover 16 is slidably connected to the water tank 1 by providing a slide rail on the inner or outer wall of the water tank 1, and designing a corresponding groove on the first cover 16 that matches the slide rail. When the first cover 16 is installed on the water tank 1, the slide rail is embedded in the groove, allowing the first cover 16 to slide along the direction of the slide rail. This sliding connection provides a convenient and stable way for the first cover 16 to move relative to the water tank 1. Through sliding operation, the user can easily open or close the first cover 16. Compared with the traditional method of rotating or directly lifting, the sliding connection is more labor-saving, improving the convenience and comfort of user operation, and reducing the inconvenience caused by difficulty in opening the cover. The positioning part 13 provides necessary support and positioning for the first cover 16 during the sliding process. The first cover 16 typically slides into the water tank 1 under its own weight or external pressure. When the first cover 16 reaches the position of the positioning part 13, it is blocked by the positioning part 13, preventing it from continuing to slide in the original direction and thus stopping. The first cover 16 stopping due to the obstruction of the positioning part 13 indicates that it is properly closed. When the user needs to add water to the water tank 1 or clean and maintain the inside of the water tank 1, they can manually pull the first cover 16 to move it along the preset sliding path with the water tank 1. The sliding connection structure between the first cover 16 and the water tank 1 guides the first cover 16 to slide smoothly. As the first cover 16 slides out of the water tank 1, it is fully open, allowing the user to easily add water or perform other operations.

[0059] In a specific example, the water tank 1 is equipped with a mist outlet pipe 14, and the water tank 3 is connected to the mist outlet nozzle 2 through the mist outlet pipe 14.

[0060] Specifically, the mist outlet pipe 14 plays a crucial role in guiding and transporting water mist within the water tank 1. It provides a specific channel for the water mist generated by the atomizing plate 4 in the water trough 3, allowing the water mist to be transported from the water trough 3 to the mist outlet 2 along this channel. Because it is located inside the water tank 1, the mist outlet pipe 14 can be fixed and protected by the structure of the water tank 1, avoiding direct impact and damage from the external environment, while also reducing the loss of water mist during transport. The connection between the water trough 3 and the mist outlet 2 via the mist outlet pipe 14 constructs a complete water mist transport system. The water trough 3 is the source of water mist generation; the atomizing plate 4 atomizes the water in the water trough 3 into tiny particles to form water mist; the mist outlet pipe 14, as an intermediate transport component, guides the water mist out of the water trough 3; and the mist outlet 2 is where the water mist is finally discharged into the external environment. Through this connection, an orderly flow of water mist from generation to discharge is achieved.

[0061] In one specific example, the ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multifunctional modular structure also includes:

[0062] The drain assembly 5 is detachably connected to the water tank 1 and is located between the water tank 1 and the water trough 3. The ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multi-functional modular structure allows the drain assembly 5 to cut off or open the connection between the water tank 1 and the water trough 3.

[0063] Specifically, the drain assembly 5, as an independent module, is detachably connected to the water tank 1. This detachable connection can be achieved through common methods such as snap-fit ​​or threaded connections, designed to facilitate user installation, disassembly, and cleaning maintenance. In some traditional ultrasonic humidifiers 100 with multi-functional modular structures, the drain assembly 5 is mounted on the water tank 3. The shape of the water tank 3 needs to accommodate the shape of the drain assembly 5, resulting in a more complex shape that hinders cleaning. In this solution, the drain assembly 5 is detachably mounted on the water tank 1, avoiding the problem of the complex shape of the water tank 3 making cleaning difficult. Furthermore, the drain assembly 5 is positioned between the water tank 1 and the water tank 3, at the critical path of water flow from the water tank 1 to the water tank 3, becoming a core component controlling water flow. When it is necessary to prevent water from flowing from the water tank 1 into the water tank 3, the drain assembly 5 achieves a sealing effect through its internal specific structure (such as a sealing plug or valve). For example, if the drain assembly 5 uses a valve structure, when the valve is closed, it will fit tightly against the water flow channel, preventing water from passing through and thus cutting off the connection between the water tank 1 and the water trough 3. This keeps the water level in the water trough 3 stable and prevents water overflow or abnormal atomization due to continuous water intake. When the water in the water trough 3 decreases due to atomization and needs to be replenished, the drain assembly 5 will open its internal water flow channel. Again, using the valve structure as an example, after the valve is opened, the water in the water tank 1 flows into the water trough 3 under gravity, providing a continuous water source for the atomizing plate 4 and ensuring that the humidifier can work normally.

[0064] Furthermore, the water discharge component 5 can be a water discharge float, which can automatically react to real-time changes in the water level in the water tank 3. When the water in the water tank 3 decreases due to atomization and the water level drops, the float will drop accordingly, triggering a corresponding mechanism to open the water inlet channel, allowing water from the water tank 1 to flow into the water tank 3; when the water level rises to the set height, the float rises, closing the water inlet channel, thereby precisely maintaining the stability of the water level in the water tank 3 and ensuring the humidifier operates continuously and stably. The water discharge float has a relatively simple structure, mainly composed of a float body, connecting rod, and valve. This simple structure makes the probability of malfunction during operation low, resulting in high reliability. Moreover, due to its fewer components, maintenance and replacement are more convenient, reducing maintenance costs. The water discharge float typically consists of a float body, connecting rod, valve, and valve seat. The float body is generally made of lightweight, corrosion-resistant materials, such as foam plastic or hollow plastic balls, to ensure that it can float easily in water. The connecting rod connects the float and the valve, transmitting the float's vertical movement to the valve. Its material needs to have sufficient strength and rigidity, such as stainless steel or hard plastic. The valve and valve seat control the flow of water. The valve can be made of rubber or plastic and has good sealing performance. The valve seat is usually installed in the water flow channel between water tank 1 and water trough 3. When the humidifier starts working, the water in water trough 3 is atomized into mist by the atomizing plate 4 and discharged through the mist outlet 2, causing the water level in water trough 3 to gradually decrease. At this time, the float moves downwards with the decreasing water level, driving the valve downwards via the connecting rod. As the valve moves downwards, a gap gradually forms between the valve and the valve seat, allowing water from water tank 1 to flow into water trough 3 under gravity, replenishing the water in water trough 3. As water continues to flow into water trough 3, the water level begins to rise, and the float moves upwards accordingly. When the water level in tank 3 rises to the set height, the float rises to a certain position and pushes the valve upwards via the connecting rod, causing the valve to fit tightly against the valve seat, cutting off the water flow channel between tank 1 and tank 3, and stopping water from entering tank 3. In this way, the up-and-down movement of the float realizes the function of automatically controlling the water from tank 1 to tank 3 according to the water level in tank 3, thereby maintaining the relative stability of the water level in tank 3.

[0065] In one specific example, the ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multifunctional modular structure also includes:

[0066] The sterilization component 6 is detachably connected to the water tank 1 and is located between the drain component 5 and the water tank 1.

[0067] Specifically, the sterilization component 6 is typically fixed to the bottom of the water tank 1 by a snap-fit, allowing users to easily replace and add sterilizing substances, such as chlorine dioxide. The sterilization module can consist of a sterilization box, a sterilization module, and a lid. The sterilization module can be porous sterilization particles or blocks, containing sterilizing ingredients such as chlorine dioxide, silver ions, and hydrogen peroxide. Users can easily add or replace the sterilization module by opening the sterilization box lid. Snap-fits and slots are provided on both the water tank 1 and the sterilization component 6, connecting them by snapping the snap-fits into the slots. This connection method makes installation and disassembly very convenient; simply pressing or pulling is sufficient. The sterilization component 6 is located between the drain assembly 5 and the water tank 1, ensuring that water flowing from the water tank 1 to the drain must first pass through the sterilization component 6. This allows the sterilization component 6 to thoroughly sterilize the water before it enters the drain 3, ensuring the water in the drain 3 is in a relatively clean state and reducing the growth and spread of bacteria and viruses in the drain 3. If the sterilization component 6 is located elsewhere, such as inside the water tank 3, the sterilization effect may be affected by factors such as water flow impact within the water tank 3 and vibration of the atomizing plate 4, and it may even damage components such as the atomizing plate 4. However, placing it between the drain assembly 5 and the water tank 1 avoids these interfering factors, ensuring the stability and effectiveness of the sterilization process. The detachable connection allows users to regularly inspect, clean, and replace the sterilization component 6. After a period of use, the sterilization effect of the sterilization component 6 may decrease; users can then remove and replace it to ensure the humidifier's sterilization performance remains at its best.

[0068] In one specific example, the ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multifunctional modular structure also includes:

[0069] The lower shell 9 has a water tank 1 located on it, and a placement cavity a is formed between the lower shell 9 and the water tank 1. The water trough 3 is located in the placement cavity a.

[0070] Specifically, the lower shell 9 is typically made of high-strength, wear-resistant, and relatively tough plastic material, such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) or PC (polycarbonate). ABS material has good overall performance, relatively low cost, and is easy to process and mold; PC material has higher strength and transparency, allowing for a better display of the humidifier's internal structure (if needed), while also possessing excellent impact resistance, effectively protecting internal components. The overall shape of the lower shell 9 is generally customized according to the humidifier's appearance design and functional requirements. Common shapes include square, round, and oval, to adapt to different usage scenarios and aesthetic preferences. The edges of the lower shell 9 are usually designed with reinforcing ribs to enhance its structural strength and prevent deformation during transportation or use. Additionally, the bottom of the lower shell 9 is equipped with anti-slip pads or support feet to ensure the humidifier is placed stably, reducing vibration and noise. The water tank 1 is generally installed on the lower shell 9 via snap-fit ​​connections, threaded connections, or magnetic connections. The snap-fit ​​connection is the most common method. Snap-fits and slots are provided at corresponding positions on the lower shell 9 and water tank 1, allowing for easy installation and disassembly with a simple pressing operation, facilitating water addition or cleaning of the water tank 1. Threaded connections offer a more secure connection, suitable for humidifiers with high sealing requirements. Users need to rotate the water tank 1 to tighten it onto the lower shell 9, ensuring no leakage between the water tank 1 and the lower shell 9. Magnetic connections are a novel approach, with magnets installed on both the lower shell 9 and the water tank 1, using magnetic force for automatic attraction. This method offers easier installation and disassembly and a degree of automatic alignment, but the magnet's attraction needs to be carefully designed to ensure connection stability. The placement cavity a provides a stable installation space for the water tank 3, allowing it to be fixed inside the lower shell 9, preventing shaking or displacement during humidifier operation. The water tank 3 is a crucial component of the humidifier, storing water flowing from the water tank 1 and providing a water source for the atomizing plate 4. The shape and size of the water tank 3 are customized according to the design requirements of the humidifier, generally matching the shape of the atomizing plate 4 to ensure that the atomizing plate 4 can fully contact the water and improve atomization efficiency. The placement chamber a can also accommodate other internal components of the humidifier, such as the circuit board, fan, and sterilization component 6. These components are effectively protected within the placement chamber a, avoiding interference and damage from external factors. For example, placing the circuit board in the placement chamber a prevents dust and moisture from entering, extending its service life; installing the fan in the placement chamber a allows for better airflow organization, improving the humidifier's heat dissipation effect.

[0071] In one specific example, the placement cavity a is connected to the water tank 3, and the ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multifunctional modular structure also includes an aromatherapy component 7, which includes:

[0072] Aroma module 71 is disposed on the lower shell 9. Aroma module 71 is located in the placement cavity a and is slidably connected to the lower shell 9. The lower shell 9 allows aroma module 71 to slide in or out of the lower shell 9.

[0073] A blower 72 is installed in the placement chamber a. The blower 72 blows the gas in the placement chamber a into the water tank 3.

[0074] Specifically, the placement chamber a and the water tank 3 are connected to form an internal airflow circulation channel. This connection allows the gas in placement chamber a to flow naturally to the water tank 3, and also provides the physical space for the subsequent fan 72 to guide the airflow, which is a key prerequisite for realizing the internal airflow and aroma diffusion of the humidifier. The connection design helps to balance the air pressure in placement chamber a and water tank 3. When water tank 1 supplies water to water tank 3, the connection structure ensures that water flows in smoothly and does not cause water flow obstruction or overflow due to air pressure issues. At the same time, for some humidifiers with water level monitoring and control, the connection structure also helps to accurately sense changes in the water level in water tank 3. The aroma module 71 is set in placement chamber a. The relatively closed environment of placement chamber a can protect the aroma module 71 to a certain extent, reduce the impact of external dust, impurities, etc., and extend the service life of the aroma module 71. The sliding connection method makes the installation and removal of aroma module 71 very convenient. Users do not need to use complicated tools; they can simply slide the aroma module 71 into or out of the lower shell 9 with a simple sliding operation. This design facilitates user replacement of essential oils and cleaning of the aromatherapy module 71, enhancing the user experience. The aromatherapy module 71 typically includes a container for holding essential oils, such as an aromatherapy box or aromatherapy wick. Users can add their favorite essential oils to the container, where they will gradually evaporate and release their fragrance. When the fan 72 operates, the airflow within the placement chamber a carries the evaporating fragrance around the aromatherapy module 71, causing it to flow with the airflow and ultimately diffuse into the surrounding air through the humidifier's mist outlet, achieving an aromatherapy effect and improving the indoor odor environment. The fan 72 is located within the placement chamber a, effectively utilizing its space and allowing the airflow generated by the fan 72 to directly act on the gas within the placement chamber a, guiding the gas towards the water tank 3. Simultaneously, the placement chamber a also provides some protection for the fan 72, reducing the impact of external factors on its operation. Once the fan 72 is activated, it generates a certain amount of airflow, blowing the gas within the placement chamber a. Since the placement chamber a is connected to the water tank 3, the gas flows into the water tank 3 under the action of the fan 72. This process not only promotes air circulation in the placement chamber a, but also provides the power for the diffusion of the aromatherapy scent. As the gas flows into the water tank 3, it carries the fragrance, allowing the fragrance to blend better with the water mist, and then it is evenly dispersed into the air through the mist outlet, enhancing the aromatherapy effect.

[0075] In a specific example, water tank 1 includes:

[0076] A light-transparent box 11 has a water inlet 15 located on it.

[0077] The second box cover 12 is placed on the light-transmitting box body 11, and the mist outlet pipe 14 is placed on the second box cover 12.

[0078] Specifically, the light-transmitting housing 11 is typically made of transparent or semi-transparent plastic, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, commonly known as acrylic) or polycarbonate (PC). Acrylic has excellent optical transparency, with a light transmittance of over 92%, allowing users to clearly see the water level and cleanliness of the water in the tank 1. In addition to good light transmittance, polycarbonate also possesses high strength and impact resistance, ensuring light transmission while enhancing the durability of the tank 1 and effectively preventing it from breaking due to impacts during use. To further improve the visual effect and user experience of the light-transmitting housing 11, its surface may undergo special treatment. For example, a scratch-resistant coating may be used to reduce scratches caused by friction during daily use, maintaining clear light transmission; or an anti-fogging treatment may be applied to prevent water vapor from forming inside the tank 1 due to temperature changes during humidifier operation, thus preventing the user from observing the water level. The water inlet 15 is located on the translucent housing 11. Its position and size are designed with user convenience and the overall structure of the water tank 1 in mind. Generally, the water inlet 15 is placed in a prominent and easily accessible location on the top or side of the water tank 1. The diameter of the water inlet 15 should be moderate, ensuring quick and smooth water filling into the water tank 1 while avoiding excessive size that could lead to difficulty in sealing the tank or water splashing out. For example, the diameter of the water inlet 15 can be designed to be around 30-50 cm, meeting daily water filling needs while allowing users to easily control the water flow. The material of the second cover 12 is usually matched to the translucent housing 11 to ensure the overall aesthetics and harmony of the water tank 1. If the translucent housing 11 is made of acrylic, the second cover 12 may also be made of acrylic or a plastic material with similar properties, ensuring consistency in color and gloss. The second cover 12 needs to have good sealing performance to prevent water leakage from the water tank 1. A sealing ring is typically installed at the contact point between the lid and the body of the humidifier. This sealing ring is usually made of flexible materials such as silicone, offering good elasticity and sealing performance. It fits tightly against the lid and body, effectively preventing water leakage. The second lid 12 is connected to the light-transmitting body 11 by covering it. Common connection methods include snap-fit ​​connections and threaded connections. Snap-fit ​​connections are simple and convenient; users only need to align the snaps on the lid with the slots on the body and press gently to complete installation and removal. Threaded connections offer better sealing performance; rotating the lid ensures a tight threaded fit with the body, effectively preventing leakage, but installation and removal are relatively more complicated. The mist outlet pipe 14 is located on the second lid 12. Its position and design need to be determined based on the overall structure of the humidifier and the desired mist output. The mist outlet pipe 14 is typically cylindrical with a smooth interior to reduce resistance to the water mist within the pipe, ensuring smooth mist output.

[0079] In a specific example, the mist nozzle 2 includes:

[0080] Connecting part 21 is provided on the first box cover 16;

[0081] The mist outlet 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 21 and is connected to the mist outlet pipe 14.

[0082] The direction of mist discharge from the mist nozzle 2 changes as the mist discharge section 22 rotates.

[0083] Specifically, the connecting part 21 is located on the first cover 16, typically in a central position or in an area easily connected to the mist outlet pipe 14. This ensures a stable and smooth connection between the mist outlet nozzle 2 and the internal misting system of the humidifier, reducing airflow obstruction and loss during transmission. The connecting part 21 is usually cylindrical or frustum-shaped, facilitating a tight connection with the mist outlet pipe 14. Its size is designed to match the diameter of the mist outlet pipe 14, ensuring a tight fit and preventing air leakage, thus guaranteeing efficient mist transmission from the mist outlet pipe 14 to the mist outlet nozzle 2. It is often made of a plastic material compatible with both the first cover 16 and the mist outlet pipe 14, such as ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymer) or PP (polypropylene). These materials offer good strength, toughness, and chemical resistance, can withstand certain pressure and temperature changes, and maintain consistency in color and texture with other components of the humidifier, enhancing the overall aesthetics. The main function of the connecting part 21 is to fix the mist outlet 2 onto the first cover 16, providing stable support for the entire mist outlet 2. It acts like a "bridge," connecting the first cover 16 and the mist outlet 22, ensuring the mist outlet 2 is securely installed on the humidifier and will not loosen or fall off during use. As a transitional component between the mist outlet pipe 14 and the mist outlet 22, the connecting part 21 guides the water mist. It introduces the water mist from the mist outlet pipe 14 into the mist outlet 22. The mist outlet 22 is rotatably connected to the connecting part 21. Common rotatable connection methods include hinge connections and ball joint connections. Hinged connections are simple in structure and low in cost, allowing the mist outlet 22 to rotate within a certain angle range; ball joint connections offer greater rotational freedom, allowing the mist outlet 22 to rotate flexibly in multiple directions, enabling users to more precisely adjust the mist direction according to their needs. The mist outlet 22 has an internal channel communicating with the connecting part 21 and the mist outlet pipe 14. The shape and size of this channel directly affect the flow effect of the water mist. Generally, the channel is designed as a smooth cylinder to reduce resistance during the flow of water mist, allowing it to be sprayed out smoothly. Simultaneously, the diameter of the channel is rationally designed according to the mist output of the humidifier to ensure that the water mist is sprayed out at an appropriate speed and pressure. The mist outlet 22 has various shapes, commonly including round, square, and trumpet-shaped. A round mist outlet 22 sprays a more uniform mist; a square mist outlet 22 allows for better control of the mist spray range; and a trumpet-shaped mist outlet 22 can expand the mist spray area, meeting the different mist output needs of various users. The core function of the mist outlet 22 is its ability to rotate, thereby changing the mist output direction of the mist nozzle 2. Users can flexibly adjust the angle of the mist outlet 22 according to their actual needs, such as the location of the humidified space and the direction of indoor air flow, so that the water mist can be sprayed more accurately onto the area requiring humidification, improving the humidification effect. By rotating the mist outlet 22, the mist output range can also be adjusted to a certain extent.For example, rotating the mist outlet 22 upwards can cause the water mist to be sprayed upwards and diffused in the air, increasing the vertical range of humidification; rotating the mist outlet 22 to the side can concentrate the water mist to be sprayed onto a specific horizontal area to meet the needs of local humidification.

[0084] In one specific example, the ultrasonic humidifier 100 with a multifunctional modular structure also includes:

[0085] Ambient light 8 is installed on the water tank 3;

[0086] Lens 31 is mounted on the water tank 3, and ambient light 8 is located between the water tank 3 and ambient light 8.

[0087] The second cover 12 allows light emitted from the ambient light 8 to enter the translucent enclosure 11.

[0088] Specifically, the ambient light 8 is positioned on the water tank 3, a layout chosen for several reasons. The water tank 3 is one of the core components of the humidifier; installing the ambient light 8 here allows it to be secured and protected by the structure of the water tank 3. Simultaneously, the relatively open space around the water tank 3 facilitates the diffusion of light from the ambient light 8, preventing it from being blocked by other components and thus creating a more uniform and soft lighting effect. LEDs (light-emitting diodes) are typically chosen as the light source for the ambient light 8. LEDs have many advantages, such as low energy consumption, long lifespan, and low heat generation. Furthermore, LEDs can emit various colors of light, such as warm yellow, blue, and purple, allowing users to choose the appropriate light color according to their preferences and different usage scenarios, increasing the fun and personalization of the humidifier. The lens 31 is positioned on the water tank 3, between the water tank 3 and the ambient light 8. This installation position allows the lens 31 to directly process the light emitted by the ambient light 8. The lens 31 is usually fixed to the water tank 3 using clips, screws, or other methods to ensure its stable position and prevent movement during use, thereby guaranteeing the stability of the light processing effect. The shape and material of lens 31 are carefully designed according to the light characteristics of ambient light 8 and the required lighting effect. Common lens shapes include convex lenses, concave lenses, and Fresnel lenses. Convex lenses can converge light, making it more focused and enhancing the light intensity; concave lenses can diverge light, expanding the illumination range; Fresnel lenses have the advantages of being thin and light-gathering, achieving efficient light control in a small volume. The material of lens 31 is generally optical-grade plastic, such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), which has good light transmittance and optical properties, reducing light loss and refraction errors. The second cover 12 is designed with a certain light channel or uses transparent or semi-transparent materials, allowing the light emitted by ambient light 8 to pass smoothly through the second cover 12 into the light-transmitting box 11. For example, the second cover 12 may have small holes corresponding to the ambient light 8 or be covered with transparent plastic sheets, ensuring the water tank 1 is airtight without obstructing light transmission. When light enters the light-transmitting enclosure 11, it is reflected and refracted on the surface of the water in the water tank 1, further enhancing the visual effect of the ambient light 8. The water in the water tank 1 acts like a natural light diffuser, allowing the light to be distributed more evenly in the surrounding environment, increasing the humidifier's appeal and aesthetics.

[0089] Furthermore, the ambient light 8 may have multiple control methods. For example, color switching and brightness adjustment can be achieved via physical buttons on the humidifier, or a smart control method can be used to remotely control the on / off state, color, and brightness parameters of the ambient light 8 via a mobile app, providing users with a more convenient and intelligent user experience. Physical buttons typically consist of a button cap, a return spring, and contacts. A dedicated circuit area for controlling the ambient light 8 is designed on the humidifier's circuit board. The button contacts are connected to the corresponding circuit on the circuit board. When the button is pressed, the contacts close, forming a complete circuit path; when the button is released, the return spring returns the button to its original position, the contacts open, and the circuit is broken. Taking the control of the ambient light 8's on / off state as an example, when the button corresponding to the on / off function is pressed, the button contacts close, allowing current to flow through the circuit and the ambient light 8's power supply circuit, energizing and lighting the ambient light 8; pressing the button again opens the contacts, interrupting the current, and the ambient light 8 turns off. This control method is simple and direct, achieving circuit conduction and cutoff through mechanical on / off actions. Intelligent control typically requires a wireless communication module (such as a Wi-Fi module or Bluetooth module), a microcontroller (MCU), and corresponding sensors (optional). The Wi-Fi or Bluetooth module enables wireless communication between the humidifier and external smart devices (such as mobile phones or tablets); the microcontroller processes received commands and controls the ambient light 8's operating status; and the sensors sense environmental information, such as light intensity and time, providing more reference data for intelligent control. When controlling the ambient light 8 via Wi-Fi using a mobile app, the phone first connects to the home Wi-Fi network and then sends a data packet containing control commands for the ambient light 8 (such as on / off, color, brightness, etc.) to the router. The router forwards the data packet to the Wi-Fi module inside the humidifier, which then transmits it to the microcontroller. Bluetooth control works similarly to Wi-Fi, but with a shorter communication range. After enabling Bluetooth on the phone and pairing it with the humidifier's Bluetooth module, control commands are sent via the app. These commands are transmitted directly to the humidifier's Bluetooth module via Bluetooth, and then the Bluetooth module relays the commands to the microcontroller. After receiving instructions from the wireless communication module, the microcontroller parses and processes them. Based on the specific content of the instruction, the microcontroller adjusts the control signals output to the ambient light 8. For example, if the instruction requires setting the ambient light 8 to red, the microcontroller will output a specific electrical signal through the corresponding pin to control the red LED in the ambient light 8 to illuminate, while simultaneously turning off LEDs of other colors, thus achieving color switching. For brightness adjustment, the microcontroller can control the LED brightness using pulse width modulation (PWM) technology. PWM technology adjusts the duty cycle of the pulse signal, changing the proportion of time the LED is energized per unit time, thereby achieving continuous brightness adjustment.

[0090] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make improvements without departing from the inventive concept of this application, but these improvements all fall within the protection scope of this application.
