Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a humidification component. Background Technology

[0002] When the water in the heating tank of a humidifier is heated to boiling, the water surface fluctuates significantly, making it easy for the boiling water to overflow through the steam outlet. This limits the placement of the steam outlet. In related technologies, a larger distance is required between the steam outlet and the water surface to reduce the risk of overflow, which is not conducive to the miniaturization of the heating tank and leaves room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a humidification component that prevents boiling water inside the tank from overflowing through the steam outlet, thus facilitating the miniaturization of the heating water tank.

[0004] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a humidification component includes: a housing; a water inlet tank disposed within the housing, the water inlet tank being connected to an external water source via a water inlet pipe, the water inlet pipe being equipped with a water inlet valve; and a heating water tank disposed within the housing, the water inlet tank being connected to the heating water tank via a water supply pipe to supply water to the heating water tank, the heating water tank comprising: a housing having a receiving cavity for containing water; a heating element disposed within the receiving cavity, the heating element having a heating part, the first side wall of the housing having at least one steam outlet communicating with the receiving cavity; and a baffle plate disposed within the receiving cavity, the baffle plate extending in a vertical direction, wherein the steam outlet and the heating part are located along the first side wall of the housing. The components are arranged in a horizontal direction. In a second horizontal direction perpendicular to the first horizontal direction, the steam outlet is located between the two ends of the baffle plate, and the heating element is located between the two ends of the baffle plate. The lowest point of the baffle plate is lower than the lowest point of the steam outlet. In the first horizontal direction, the lower edge of the baffle plate is located between the end of the heating element and the steam outlet; or the lower edge of the baffle plate is flush with the end face of the heating element facing the steam outlet. The baffle plate satisfies at least one of the following: the baffle plate has a through hole, and the edge of the baffle plate forms a steam channel with the inner wall of the housing. A drain pan is disposed inside the housing, and the drain pan is located below the inlet water tank and the heating water tank.

[0005] According to the heating assembly of this utility model embodiment, by setting a baffle plate inside the heating water tank, the baffle plate can restrict the water with rapid temperature rise and large fluctuation in the area where the heating part is located to the side away from the steam outlet, preventing the water with rapid temperature rise and large fluctuation from moving to the area with slower temperature rise and smaller fluctuation on the side facing the steam outlet. This makes it difficult for boiling water to overflow out of the tank through the steam outlet, and thus the distance between the steam outlet and the bottom wall of the tank can be smaller, and the height of the tank's peripheral wall can be smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the heating water tank.

[0006] According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the second horizontal direction, the edges of both ends of the baffle plate contact the inner wall of the housing, which can increase the blocking area for boiling water and prevent boiling water from moving close to the steam outlet.

[0007] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the heating element further includes a mounting portion, wherein the housing has a second sidewall opposite to the first sidewall, and in the first horizontal direction, the mounting portion connects the second sidewall and the first end of the heating element, and the lower edge of the baffle plate is located between the second end of the heating element and the first sidewall, or the lower edge of the baffle plate is flush with the end face of the second end of the heating element; or, in the first horizontal direction, the mounting portion connects the first sidewall and the first end of the heating element, and the lower edge of the baffle plate is located between the first end and the first sidewall, or the lower edge of the baffle plate is flush with the end face of the first end of the heating element, with at least a portion of the baffle plate tilting downwards and towards the first sidewall. The baffle plate can isolate an area near the steam outlet where the temperature rises slowly and the water surface ripples less, preventing boiling water from moving to the steam outlet.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the housing is provided with an anti-corrosion component, wherein, in the vertical direction, the baffle is located above the heating element; or, the length of the anti-corrosion component along the first horizontal direction is greater than the length of the heating element, and in the vertical direction, the baffle is disposed above the heating element and the anti-corrosion component. The baffle can avoid the anti-corrosion component and prevent positional interference.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the baffle plate includes a plate body and a plurality of connecting portions. The upper edge of the plate body is spaced apart from the top wall of the housing. The plurality of connecting portions are spaced apart along the upper edge of the plate body. The connecting portions are used to connect the plate body and the top wall of the housing. The space between any two adjacent connecting portions forms the steam channel. The steam channel is positioned higher, making it less likely for boiling water to flow through the steam channel to an area with less surface ripple, and facilitating the flow of steam to the steam outlet.

[0010] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the housing has an airflow passage connecting the air inlet and the air outlet. The humidification assembly includes at least one steam pipe, the starting end of which is connected to the steam outlet, and the steam pipe is configured to deliver steam to the airflow passage. Delivering steam into the airflow passage through the steam pipe helps to improve the uniformity of steam distribution within the airflow passage.

[0011] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the steam conduit includes a connecting section and multiple steam generating sections. The connecting section is connected to and communicates with the steam outlet. The steam generating sections are located in the airflow passage and are perpendicular to the bottom surface of the housing. The arrangement direction of the multiple steam generating sections is perpendicular to the extension direction of the airflow passage. The distance between the central axis of the steam generating section closest to the housing and the side wall of the housing is L1, and the distance between the central axes of two adjacent steam generating sections is L2, where L1≤L2≤2L1. This improves the uniformity of steam distribution in the vertical direction of the airflow passage and in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the airflow passage.

[0012] According to some embodiments of the humidification component of this utility model, the steam generating section has a steam port on the leeward side away from the air inlet; the steam generating section has multiple steam ports, with at least two steam ports spaced apart in the vertical direction, wherein the spacing between the multiple steam ports is the same in the vertical direction, making the steam port processing more convenient, or the spacing increases from top to bottom, so that steam can be output evenly in all parts of the entire steam generating section, and the output steam distribution is more matched with the airflow distribution in the airflow passage.

[0013] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the steam generating section is provided with multiple steam ports, and at least two steam ports are spaced apart circumferentially on the steam generating section. On the cross-section of the steam generating section, the line connecting the center of each steam port to the center of the steam generating section is a first connecting line, and the included angle between the first connecting lines corresponding to two adjacent steam ports ranges from 60° to 120°. Within this angle range, the steam output range is large, and the steam output from multiple steam generating sections does not interfere with each other, which is more conducive to uniform steam distribution and uniform mixing of steam with air in the airflow passage.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the humidification assembly of this utility model, the steam outlet of the heating water tank is located close to the air inlet. A partition is provided between the heating water tank and the wall of the housing with the air inlet. The airflow passage is located on the side of the partition facing the air inlet. The partition can guide the dry air flowing into the housing through the air inlet, preventing some dry air from flowing through the gap between the heating water tank and the wall with the air inlet to the side of the heating water tank opposite to the steam pipe and mixing with humid air at the air outlet. The dry air can flow through the steam pipe and mix thoroughly with the steam, improving the mixing uniformity and enhancing the accuracy of humidity detection.

[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the humidification assembly includes multiple heating water tanks, with the inlet water tank and the multiple heating water tanks respectively connected through the water supply pipeline. The multiple heating water tanks are arranged side by side, and the steam outlet of each heating water tank is connected to a steam conduit, which extends to the outside of the housing.

[0045] In the following instructions, the up-down direction F3 is the X direction in the illustrated example, but it can also be tilted relative to the X direction; the first horizontal direction F1 is the Y direction in the illustrated example, but it can also be tilted relative to the Y direction; the second horizontal direction F2 is the Z direction in the illustrated example, but it can also be tilted relative to the Z direction.

[0046] (Humidifier component 1000)

[0047] The humidifier unit 1000 is used for environmental humidification, such as indoor humidification to regulate indoor humidity. For example, the humidifier unit 1000 can be connected to an indoor fresh air system to humidify the air supplied by the system and then deliver the humidified air into the room. Alternatively, the humidifier unit 1000 can be directly connected to the indoor unit to directly supply steam into the room for humidification. Yet another example is that the humidifier unit 1000 can be connected to an indoor air conditioning unit, where steam mixes with the return air from the indoor unit before being delivered into the room, or steam can be directly delivered into the room using the indoor unit's fan.

[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the humidification assembly 1000 according to some embodiments of the present invention includes: a housing 200, a water inlet tank 600, a heating water tank 1, and a drain pan 700.

[0049] (Shell 200)

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the housing 200 provides installation space for components such as the inlet water tank 600, the heating water tank 1, and the drain pan 700. The housing 200 is generally rectangular in shape, consisting of a top plate, a bottom plate, and multiple side plates. The top and bottom plates of the housing 200 are spaced apart and opposite each other in the X direction, with the top plate located above the bottom plate. Multiple side plates of the housing 200 connect the perimeter of the bottom plate to the perimeter of the top plate, and the side plates are sequentially connected end-to-end along the perimeter of the top plate.

[0051] like Figure 8 As shown, the housing 200 is provided with an air inlet 201 and an air outlet 202, and the housing 200 has an airflow passage 203 that connects the air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202. External air can enter the housing 200 through the air inlet 201 and flow to the air outlet 202 through the airflow passage 203.

[0052] In addition, the humidification assembly 1000 may also include an air supply assembly located outside and connected to the housing 200 to drive the airflow in the airflow passage 203; or the air supply assembly may be located in the airflow passage 203 inside the housing 200 to drive the airflow in the airflow passage 203.

[0053] The humidifying component 1000 can be installed downstream of the air supply of the ventilation equipment. The air supply outlet of the ventilation equipment can be connected to the air inlet 201 of the humidifying component 1000 via a duct. Air is supplied using the blower in the ventilation equipment, allowing the steam in the humidifying component 1000 to be delivered to the area requiring humidification. This eliminates the need for an air supply component in the humidifying component 1000, facilitating miniaturization. The air outlet 202 of the humidifying component 1000 can be connected to the air supply grille of the target space via a duct, allowing it to supply air to a single target space or to multiple target spaces via branch ducts.

[0054] Or, such as Figure 1 As shown, the housing 200 may also be without an air inlet 201 and an air outlet 202, which can be used to provide installation space for components such as the water inlet tank 600, the heating water tank 1, and the drain pan 700. The steam generated by the heating water tank 1 can be directly discharged outside the housing 200 without mixing with the air inside the housing 200 for humidification.

[0055] (Drainage tray 700)

[0056] like Figure 1 As shown, the drain pan 700 is located inside the housing 200 and below the inlet water tank 600 and the heating water tank 1. The drain pan 700 can not only receive the water discharged from the inlet water tank 600 and the heating water tank 1, but also receive the condensate or overflow generated by the inlet water tank 600, the heating water tank 1 and the connecting pipes, so as to prevent water from leaking outside the housing 200.

[0057] Here, the drainage tray 700 can be a separate component located inside the housing 200, or the drainage tray 700 can be an integrally formed structure on the bottom plate of the housing 200, both of which are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0058] In addition, the drain pan 700 has a water outlet, through which water collected in the drain pan 700 (such as water discharged from the inlet water tank 600 and the heating water tank 1 to the drain pan 700, condensate, overflow, etc.) can be discharged to prevent excessive water accumulation in the drain pan 700 from causing overflow. Typically, the outer end of the water outlet is also connected to an external pipeline for discharging the water collected in the drain pan to a suitable location, such as outdoors.

[0059] The drain tray 700 may include a base plate and four side plates, specifically a first side plate, a second side plate, a third side plate, and a fourth side plate. The first and second side plates are spaced apart and opposite each other in the Y direction, and the third and fourth side plates are spaced apart and opposite each other in the Z direction; alternatively, the first and second side plates may also be spaced apart and opposite each other in the Z direction, and the third and fourth side plates may be spaced apart and opposite each other in the Y direction. The outlet may be located on the base plate or any one of the four side plates of the drain tray 700.

[0060] In addition, the drain pan 700 can be integrally formed from foamed material and coated with heat-resistant material inside the drain pan 700; the drain pan 700 can also be made of metal.

[0061] (Inlet water tank 600)

[0062] like Figure 1 , Figures 6 to 8 As shown, the water inlet tank 600 is disposed within the housing 200. The water inlet tank 600 can be directly or indirectly connected to the housing 200 to achieve installation of the water inlet tank 600 within the housing 200. The connection method between the water inlet tank 600 and the housing 200 can be, but is not limited to, placing it on the base plate of the housing 200, or fastening it to the housing 200 via fasteners or mounting brackets. For example, the water inlet tank 600 may include a tank body and a cover plate. The tank body has an opening facing the X1 direction, and the cover plate seals the opening of the tank body and engages and is fixedly connected to the tank body. The water inlet tank 600 is detachably connected to the top wall of the housing 200 via the cover plate.

[0063] The water inlet tank 600 is connected to an external water source through the water inlet pipe 610, and the water inlet pipe 610 is equipped with a water inlet valve 620.

[0064] The inlet valve 620 can be used to control the opening and closing states of the inlet pipe 610. In the open state, external water can enter the inlet tank 600 through the inlet pipe 610; in the closed state, the inlet pipe 610 is disconnected to prevent excessive water from entering and causing the inlet tank 600 to overflow. Alternatively, an overflow pipe can be installed inside the inlet tank 600 to further prevent overflow.

[0065] Here, the housing 200 may have openings such as holes or apertures to allow the inlet pipe 610 to extend outside the housing 200, facilitating connection between the inlet pipe 610 and an external water source; alternatively, the housing 200 may have openings such as holes or apertures to allow an external water source to extend inside the housing 200, facilitating connection with the inlet pipe 610. The external water source may be, but is not limited to, municipal water. The inlet valve 620 may be, but is not limited to, a solenoid valve, a shut-off valve, etc., among which the solenoid valve has advantages such as simple piping and low cost. The inlet valve 620 may be located inside or outside the housing 200.

[0066] (Heating water tank 1)

[0067] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the heating water tank 1 is located inside the housing 200. The heating water tank 1 can be directly connected to the housing 200 or indirectly connected to achieve the installation of the heating water tank 1 inside the housing 200. The connection method between the heating water tank 1 and the housing 200 can be, but is not limited to, placing it on the base plate of the housing 200, or fastening it to the housing 200 with fasteners or mounting brackets.

[0068] The heating water tank 1 is mainly used to heat liquids such as water to generate steam, which can be discharged into the target space to achieve the humidification function. Specifically, the inlet water tank 600 and the heating water tank 1 are connected through the water supply pipe 630, so that the water in the inlet water tank 600 can flow to the heating water tank 1 through the water supply pipe 630, thereby supplying water to the heating water tank 1.

[0069] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the heating water tank 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a tank body 10, a heating element 20, and a baffle plate 30.

[0070] (Box 10)

[0071] The housing 10 has a receiving cavity 11 for holding water, which enables the housing 10 to store water, facilitates heating the water to generate steam, and facilitates maintaining the output steam for a period of time.

[0072] Here, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the box 10 is generally rectangular in shape, consisting of a top wall 15, a bottom wall 16, and peripheral walls. The top wall 15 is spaced apart from the bottom wall 16 in the X direction and is located above the bottom wall 16. The peripheral walls connect the periphery of the bottom wall 16 to the periphery of the top wall 15, and the peripheral walls include a first side wall 13, a second side wall 14, a third side wall 17, and a fourth side wall 18, wherein the first side wall 13 and the second side wall 14 are spaced apart from each other in the Y direction, and the third side wall 17 and the fourth side wall 18 are spaced apart from each other in the Z direction.

[0073] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first side wall 13 of the housing 10 is provided with a steam outlet 12 that communicates with the housing 11. The steam outlet 12 is configured to output steam to the outside, that is, the steam generated by heating the water in the housing 11 can be output to the outside of the housing 11 through the steam outlet 12, for example, output to the room to achieve indoor humidity regulation.

[0074] The number of steam outlets 12 can be one, two, three, or more. Providing two or more steam outlets 12 can increase the flow area of ​​the output steam and improve the efficiency of steam output. In other words, the first side wall 13 of the housing 10 is provided with at least one steam outlet 12 that communicates with the receiving cavity 11.

[0075] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, the housing 10 can be connected to a drain pipe 660, which is configured to drain water into the drain pan 700 to empty the water in the heating water tank 1 and prevent long-term water accumulation that could lead to bacterial growth. The drain pipe 660 may be equipped with a drain valve 640 and a filter 650. The drain valve 640 is used to control the opening, closing, and other states of the drain pipe 660. The filter 650 is located upstream of the drain valve 640 and is used to filter the water flowing through the drain pipe 660 to prevent the drain valve 640 from becoming clogged.

[0076] (Heating element 20)

[0077] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heating element 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11. The heating element 20 includes a heating part 21, which is configured to heat the water in the receiving cavity 11 and generate steam by heating.

[0078] Here, the heating element 21 can be, but is not limited to, a heating rod, a heating tube, a heating wire, etc. The receiving cavity 11 can contain one, two, or more heating elements 20, for example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the cavity 11 is provided with two heating elements 20, which are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction.

[0079] The heating element 21 acts as a heat source, releasing heat during operation to raise the temperature of the water in the receiving cavity 11. When the temperature is high enough, the water boils, causing the water surface to... Figure 1 The wavy lines indicate that fluctuations will occur; and the closer the water is to the heating unit 21, the faster the water temperature rises and the greater the fluctuations on the water surface. Specifically, the water temperature rises faster and the water surface fluctuations are relatively larger above the heating unit 21, while the water temperature rises slower and the water surface fluctuations are relatively smaller above the non-heating unit 21.

[0080] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heating element 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 at its two ends in the first horizontal direction F1 (Y direction in the illustrated example). The heating element 20 also includes a mounting part 22 for mounting the heating element 20 onto the housing 10. The connection method between the mounting part 22 and the housing 10 can be, but is not limited to, snap-fit, plug-in, fastener connection, etc.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 1As shown, in the first horizontal direction F1, the mounting part 22 connects the second side wall 14 and the first end 211 of the heating part 21 to mount the heating element 20 on the second side wall 14 of the housing 10, that is, the heating element 20 and the steam outlet 12 are respectively located on two opposite side walls of the housing 10. Figure 2 As shown, in the first horizontal direction F1, the mounting part 22 connects the first side wall 13 and the first end 211 of the heating part 21 to mount the heating element 20 on the first side wall 13 of the housing 10, that is, the heating element 20 and the steam outlet 12 are located on the same side wall of the housing 10.

[0082] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the heating element 20 also includes a temperature protector 23, which is connected to the heating element 21, for example, to the second end 212 of the heating element 21. The temperature protector 23 can detect the heating temperature of the heating element 21 and control the heating element 21 to cut off the power when the heating temperature exceeds a safe threshold, so as to avoid safety hazards such as dry burning.

[0083] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 10 is also provided with a power terminal, which is electrically connected to the heating element 20 and is used to connect to a power source to supply power to the heating element 20.

[0084] (Water baffle 30)

[0085] like Figure 1 As shown, the baffle plate 30 is disposed in the receiving cavity 11. The baffle plate 30 extends in the vertical direction F3 (X direction in the example shown), so that the baffle plate 30 can form a shield in the vertical direction F3 and divide the upper space in the receiving cavity 11, so that the area with large water surface fluctuation and the steam outlet 12 are located in different spaces, so as to prevent boiling water from overflowing through the steam outlet 12.

[0086] Here, the baffle plate 30 can extend along one or a combination of straight lines and curves in the vertical direction F3. The baffle plate 30 can extend vertically, or it can be inclined downwards and towards the Y1 direction, or downwards and towards the Y2 direction. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the water baffle 30 extends vertically along a straight line in the vertical direction F3, and the water baffle 30 is generally formed into a rectangular plate.

[0087] The water baffle 30 is preferably made of metal, such as stainless steel, which has good high temperature resistance.

[0088] The baffle plate 30 can be fixedly or detachably connected to the top wall 15 of the tank 10, or fixedly or detachably connected to the side wall of the tank 10; the connection method can be, but is not limited to, welding, snap-fit, fastener connection, etc.

[0089] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the baffle plate 30 includes a plate body 33 and multiple connecting portions 34. The upper edge of the plate body 33 is spaced apart from the top wall 15 of the tank 10. The multiple connecting portions 34 are spaced apart along the upper edge of the plate body 33. The connecting portions 34 are used to connect the plate body 33 and the top wall 15 of the tank 10 to achieve the connection between the baffle plate 30 and the top wall 15 of the tank 10. Here, the connecting portions 34 and the plate body 33 can be integral parts or separate parts.

[0090] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the steam outlet 12 and the heating section 21 are arranged along a first horizontal direction F1. In the first horizontal direction F1, the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is located at the end of the heating section 21 (in...). Figure 1 The example shown is the second end 212 of the heating section 21. Figure 2 In the example shown, it is between the first end 211 of the heating section 21 and the steam outlet 12; or, the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is flush with the end face of the heating section 21 facing the steam outlet 12.

[0091] For example Figure 1 As shown, in the first horizontal direction F1, the mounting portion 22 of the heating element 20 connects the second sidewall 14 and the first end 211 of the heating part 21. The lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is located between the second end 212 of the heating part 21 and the first sidewall 13, or the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is flush with the end face of the second end 212 of the heating part 21. This allows the baffle plate 30 to divide the upper space of the receiving cavity 11 into a region where the water temperature rises rapidly and fluctuates significantly, and a region where the water temperature rises slowly and fluctuates less significantly. The steam outlet 12 is located in the region with less fluctuation. Here, the baffle plate 30 can extend vertically or obliquely, etc.

[0092] For example Figure 2 As shown, in the first horizontal direction F1, the mounting part 22 connects the first sidewall 13 and the first end 211 of the heating part 21. The lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is located between the first end 211 of the heating part 21 and the first sidewall 13, or the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is flush with the end face of the first end 211 of the heating part 21. At least part of the baffle plate 30 is inclined downwards and towards the first sidewall 13. Figure 2 In the illustrated embodiment, the baffle plate 30 is tilted downwards and towards the first sidewall 13. This tilted arrangement of the baffle plate 30 effectively isolates a region with less fluctuation near the steam outlet 12.

[0093] During the heating process, the water surface above the heating section 21 fluctuates more, while the water surface above the non-heating section 21 fluctuates less. In the above embodiment, the baffle plate 30 roughly divides the upper space within the receiving cavity 11 into a region with less fluctuation facing the steam outlet 12 and a region with more fluctuation facing away from the steam outlet 12. By positioning the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 between the end of the heating section 21 and the steam outlet 12, or flush with the end face of the heating section 21 facing the steam outlet 12, the heating section 21 is positioned below the space of the baffle plate 30 facing away from the steam outlet 12. Therefore, the baffle plate 30 can restrict a portion of the rapidly rising hot water with large temperature fluctuations to the side facing away from the steam outlet 12. This results in a slower temperature rise and smaller fluctuations at the steam outlet 12 on the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12, making it less likely for the hot water to overflow at the steam outlet 12. Consequently, the height of the steam outlet 12 on the first side wall 13 of the tank body 10 can be as low as possible, i.e., the distance between the steam outlet 12 and the bottom wall 16 of the tank body 10 can be as small as possible, and the height of the first side wall 13 can be as small as possible, thereby reducing the overall height of the heating water tank 1 and facilitating the miniaturization of the heating water tank 1.

[0094] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the lowest point of the baffle plate 30 is lower than the lowest point of the steam outlet 12. Therefore, the larger fluctuations in water on the side of the baffle plate 30 away from the steam outlet 12 have less impact on the water surface fluctuations on the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12. This results in a better shielding effect of the baffle plate 30 on the steam outlet 12, thus reducing the risk of boiling water overflow.

[0095] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in the second horizontal direction F2, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction F1, the steam outlet 12 is located between the two ends of the baffle plate 30, and the heating part 21 is located between the two ends of the baffle plate 30. The baffle plate 30 has a better blocking effect on the steam outlet 12 and a better water blocking effect in areas with large water surface fluctuations, which is more conducive to preventing boiling water from overflowing.

[0096] In some embodiments, in the second horizontal direction F2, the edges of both ends of the baffle plate 30 contact the inner wall of the housing 10; in other words, the two ends of the baffle plate 30 contact the third side wall 17 and the fourth side wall 18 of the housing 10 respectively, which can increase the blocking area for boiling water, prevent boiling water from moving close to the steam outlet 12, and improve the water blocking effect.

[0097] Here, the edges at both ends of the baffle plate 30 can be in sealed contact with the inner wall of the box 10, or they can be in non-sealed contact.

[0098] (Through-hole 31, steam passage 32)

[0099] like Figure 3As shown, the baffle plate 30 is provided with a through hole 31, which can connect the spaces on both sides of the baffle plate 30 in the first horizontal direction F1. Thus, the steam on the side of the baffle plate 30 facing away from the steam outlet 12 can pass through the through hole 31 and flow to the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12, and then be discharged through the steam outlet 12.

[0100] In addition, the through hole 31 can be provided on the upper part of the baffle plate 30, which is conducive to allowing more steam to flow through the through hole 31 to the steam outlet 12, and prevents boiling water from flowing through the through hole 31 to the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12, which is more conducive to improving the overflow prevention effect.

[0101] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a steam channel 32 is formed between the edge of the baffle plate 30 and the inner wall of the box 10, so that the steam on the side of the baffle plate 30 away from the steam outlet 12 can flow through the steam channel 32 to the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12, and then be discharged through the steam outlet 12.

[0102] Alternatively, the baffle plate 30 may be provided with a through hole 31, and a steam channel 32 may be formed between the edge of the baffle plate 30 and the inner wall of the box 10, so that steam can flow from the side of the baffle plate 30 away from the steam outlet 12 to the side facing the steam outlet 12 through both the through hole 31 and the steam channel 32.

[0103] Here, as Figure 4 As shown, the steam passage 32 can be formed between the upper edge of the baffle plate 30 and the top wall 15 of the housing 10, or as... Figure 6 As shown, the steam passage 32 can also be formed between the side edge of the baffle plate 30 and the side wall of the housing 10 (such as the third side wall 17 or the fourth side wall 18).

[0104] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the baffle plate 30 includes a plate body 33 and multiple connecting parts 34. The upper edge of the plate body 33 is spaced apart from the top wall 15 of the housing 10. The multiple connecting parts 34 are spaced apart along the upper edge of the plate body 33. The connecting parts 34 are used to connect the plate body 33 and the top wall 15 of the housing 10. The space between any two adjacent connecting parts 34 forms a steam channel 32. The steam channel 32 is closer to the top wall 15 of the housing 10, so that boiling water cannot flow through the steam channel 32 to the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12, which is more conducive to improving the overflow prevention effect. In addition, the steam on the side of the baffle plate 30 away from the steam outlet 12 can more easily enter the steam channel 32, thereby improving the steam discharge effect.

[0105] (Corrosion-resistant components 40)

[0106] like Figure 1As shown, the tank 10 is equipped with an anti-corrosion component 40, which prevents corrosion of the heating element 20, reduces scale formation, and extends the service life of the heating element 20. The anti-corrosion component 40 is preferably a magnesium rod, used to prevent corrosion of the metal inner liner of the heating water tank 1 and to soften the water.

[0107] The anti-corrosion component 40 is positioned close to the heating element 20 to improve the protection of the heating element 20, for example... Figure 1 The corrosion-resistant component 40 shown is disposed above the heating element 20. The corrosion-resistant component 40 may also be disposed on the side of the heating element 20, etc. The dimension of the corrosion-resistant component 40 along the first direction may be greater than, less than or equal to the dimension of the heating element 20.

[0108] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5 As shown, regardless of the installation position and size of the anti-corrosion component 40 and the heating element 20, in the vertical direction F3, the baffle plate 30 is located above the heating element 20, allowing the baffle plate 30 to avoid interference with the heating element 20. For example, if the anti-corrosion component 40 is located above the heating element 20 and its length in the first direction is less than the length of the heating element 20, the baffle plate 30 can be positioned above the heating element 20 and in the first horizontal direction F1 on the side of the anti-corrosion component 40 facing the steam outlet 12, to avoid positional interference.

[0109] Furthermore, since the length of the anti-corrosion component 40 along the first horizontal direction F1 is greater than the length of the heating element 20, the baffle plate 30 is positioned above the heating element 20 and the anti-corrosion component 40 in the vertical direction F3. This ensures that the baffle plate 30 does not interfere with the position of either the heating element 20 or the anti-corrosion component 40, thus avoiding collisions.

[0110] (Main effects of this implementation method)

[0111] According to the humidification component 1000 of this utility model embodiment, a baffle plate 30 is provided inside the housing 10 of the heating water tank 1. The baffle plate 30 extends in the vertical direction F3 and the lowest point of the baffle plate 30 is lower than the lowest point of the steam outlet 12. In the second horizontal direction F2, the steam outlet 12 and the heating part 21 are both located between the two ends of the baffle plate 30. In the first horizontal direction F1, the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is located between the end of the heating part 21 and the steam outlet 12 or is flush with the end face of the heating part 21 facing the steam outlet 12. This allows the baffle plate 30 to restrict the water with rapid temperature rise and large fluctuations to the side away from the steam outlet 12. The water on the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12 has a slower temperature rise and smaller fluctuations, so that boiling water is less likely to overflow from the steam outlet 12 to the outside of the housing 10. As a result, the distance between the steam outlet 12 and the bottom wall 16 of the housing 10 can be smaller, and the height of the peripheral wall of the housing 10 can be smaller, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the heating water tank 1.

[0112] (Steam conduit 300)

[0113] The steam conduit 300 can be one or more. For example... Figure 6 As shown, the heating water tank 1 is provided with a steam outlet 12, and a corresponding steam conduction pipe 300 is provided and connected to the steam outlet 12; as Figure 7 As shown, the heating water tank 1 is provided with multiple steam outlets 12, and there are multiple corresponding steam conduction pipes 300, which are connected to the multiple steam outlets 12 one by one.

[0114] The steam conduit 300 is configured to supply steam to the airflow passage 203. Compared to supplying steam directly into the airflow passage 203 through the steam outlet 12, supplying steam through the steam conduit 300 helps to improve the uniformity of steam distribution within the airflow passage 203. Dry air flowing into the airflow passage 203 through the air inlet 201 of the housing 200 can mix with steam within the airflow passage 203 to obtain humidified air. The humidified air can be discharged to the target space through the air outlet 202 of the housing 200 for humidification.

[0115] The steam conduit 300 can be a straight pipe, a meandering bend, a bend along a zigzag line, or a spliced ​​pipe along an irregular path, etc.

[0116] like Figure 8 As shown, the steam conduit 300 includes a connecting section 301 and a steam generating section 302. The connecting section 301 is connected to and communicates with the steam outlet 12. The steam generating section 302 is located in the airflow passage 203 and is perpendicular to the bottom surface 204 of the casing 200. The steam generating section 302 is used to supply steam to the airflow passage 203. The steam output from the steam outlet 12 can be transported to the airflow passage 203 through the steam generating section 302 and flows with the air in the airflow passage 203. Because the steam generating section 302 is perpendicular to the bottom surface 204 of the casing 200, the steam can be supplied to the airflow passage 203 over a larger range in the vertical direction F3, improving the uniformity of the steam distribution in the vertical direction F3.

[0117] Here, the connecting segment 301 can extend horizontally (Y direction in the example shown in the figure) or inclined relative to the horizontal direction. For example, the connecting segment 301 can extend horizontally perpendicular to the extension direction of the airflow passage 203.

[0118] like Figure 8As shown, the steam conduit 300 includes multiple steam generating sections 302. The arrangement direction of the multiple steam generating sections 302 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the airflow passage 203 (Z direction in the example shown in the figure) to transport steam over a larger range perpendicular to the extension direction of the airflow passage 203 and improve the uniformity of steam distribution in the airflow passage 203.

[0119] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, the distance between the central axis 305 of the steam generating section 302 closest to the shell 200 and the side wall of the shell 200 is L1, and the distance between the central axes 305 of two adjacent steam generating sections 302 is L2, where L1≤L2≤2L1. Within the above-mentioned size range, the distance between two adjacent steam generating sections 302 is more suitable, thereby improving the uniformity of steam distribution in the arrangement direction of the steam generating sections 302.

[0120] In addition, such as Figure 8 As shown, the lower end of the steam generating section 302 has a base plate, which may be equipped with a condensate drain 304. The condensate generated by the condensation of steam in the steam generating section 302 can be discharged through the condensate drain 304 and drip into the drain pan below, to prevent the condensate from accumulating in the steam generating section 302 and breeding bacteria, thus preventing contamination of the steam conduction pipe 300. The condensate drain 304 can be any shape, such as square, round, triangular, or irregular.

[0121] In addition, the steam generating section 302 may be provided with steam outlets 303, steam grids, and other structures for outputting steam. The shape of the steam outlet 303 on the steam generating section 302 can be any shape, such as circular, square, triangular, or irregular. For ease of forming, the steam outlet 303 is preferably a circular hole.

[0122] In addition, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the steam inlet 303 is located on the leeward side of the steam generating section 302, away from the air inlet 201 (e.g., Figure 9 (As shown on the Z1 side), so that the steam port 303 faces away from the airflow direction (from the air inlet 201 to the air outlet 202, such as...) Figure 9 (As shown in Z1 direction), to prevent the steam at the steam port 303 from directly colliding with the airflow in the airflow passage 203, which would prevent the steam from being output.

[0123] The steam generating section 302 can have one or more steam ports 303. Having multiple steam ports 303 increases the total opening area of ​​the steam generating section 302 and expands the distribution range of the steam ports 303, thereby improving the uniformity of steam distribution within the airflow passage 203. The number of steam ports 303 on multiple steam generating sections 302 can be equal or unequal.

[0124] Here, multiple steam ports 303 can be arranged in an array on the steam generating section 302. For example, multiple steam ports 303 can be arranged in a row along the vertical direction F3; or, multiple steam ports 303 can be arranged in multiple rows along the circumference of the steam generating section 302, with each row including multiple steam ports 303 arranged along the vertical direction F3. The arrangement of steam ports 303 on multiple steam generating sections 302 can be the same or different.

[0125] like Figure 8 As shown, the steam generating section 302 is provided with multiple steam ports 303, with at least two steam ports 303 spaced apart in the vertical direction F3. In the vertical direction F3, the multiple steam ports 303 are spaced at the same distance, that is, the multiple steam ports 303 are arranged at equal intervals, which makes the processing of steam ports 303 more convenient.

[0126] Alternatively, in the vertical direction F3, the spacing between the multiple steam ports 303 can increase from top to bottom. In other words, among any three adjacent steam ports 303, the spacing between the two lower steam ports 303 is greater than the spacing between the two upper steam ports 303. Steam flows from top to bottom within the steam generating section 302. In the direction of steam flow, the steam pressure within the steam generating section 302 gradually decreases. By increasing the spacing between the multiple steam ports 303 from top to bottom, steam can be evenly output from all parts of the entire steam generating section 302, and the output steam distribution better matches the airflow distribution within the airflow passage 203.

[0127] Alternatively, in the vertical direction F3, the diameter of multiple steam ports 303 gradually increases from top to bottom. In other words, in any two adjacent steam ports 303, the opening area of ​​the lower steam port 303 is larger than that of the upper steam port 303, in order to adapt to the change in air pressure in the steam generation section 302, so that steam can be output evenly in all parts of the entire steam generation section 302.

[0128] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the steam generating section 302 is provided with multiple steam ports 303, and at least two steam ports 303 are spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the steam generating section 302. On the cross-section of the steam generating section 302 (i.e. the cross-section perpendicular to the vertical direction F3), the line connecting the center of each steam port 303 and the center of the circle of the steam generating section 302 is the first connecting line 306. The included angle β between the first connecting lines 306 corresponding to two adjacent steam ports 303 is in the range of 60° to 120°.

[0129] If the included angle β between two adjacent steam ports 303 in the circumferential direction is too small, the steam coverage area in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the airflow direction in the airflow passage 203 will be small, which is not conducive to the uniform mixing of steam and air. If the included angle β between two adjacent steam ports 303 in the circumferential direction is too large, it is easy to cause the steam output from the steam port 303 of the adjacent steam generation section 302 to collide, resulting in uneven steam distribution.

[0130] Within the aforementioned angle range, the steam output range is large, and the steam output from multiple steam generating sections 302 does not interfere with each other, which is more conducive to uniform steam distribution and uniform mixing of steam with air in the airflow passage 203. For example, in some specific embodiments, the included angle β between the first connecting lines 306 corresponding to two adjacent steam ports 303 can be 60°, 70°, 80°, 90°, 100°, 110°, and 120°, etc.

[0131] (Baffle 400)

[0132] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the steam outlet 12 of the heating water tank 1 is located close to the air inlet 201. In other words, the distance between the steam outlet 12 and the wall where the air inlet 201 is located is less than the distance between the steam outlet 12 and the wall where the air outlet 202 is located. Therefore, the steam conduit 300 connected to the steam outlet 12 is located upstream of the airflow passage 203, that is, close to the air inlet 201. The air flowing in from the air inlet 201 can mix with the steam output from the steam conduit 300 as quickly as possible, and the mixing path of the air and steam in the airflow passage 203 is longer, which helps to improve the uniformity of mixing.

[0133] In addition, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a partition 400 is provided between the heating water tank 1 and the wall of the housing 200 with the air inlet 201. The airflow passage 203 is located on the side of the partition 400 facing the air inlet 201. The partition 400 can guide the dry air flowing into the housing 200 through the air inlet 201, preventing some of the dry air from flowing through the gap between the heating water tank 1 and the wall with the air inlet 201 to the side of the heating water tank 1 away from the steam pipe 300 and mixing with the humid air at the air outlet 202. The dry air can flow through the steam pipe 300 and mix thoroughly with the steam, improving the mixing uniformity and the accuracy of humidity detection.

[0134] Here, the partition 400 can extend along the arrangement direction of the air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202 (as shown in the example in the figure, in the Z direction), or it can extend obliquely relative to the arrangement direction of the air inlet 201 and the air outlet 202. For example... Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the baffle 400 is inclined from the air inlet 201 to the air outlet 202 and towards the steam pipe 300 (i.e., inclined along the Z direction and along the Y1 direction), so that eddies are less likely to be generated at the baffle 400, reducing wind resistance, and the dry air flowing in from the air inlet 201 flows more smoothly into the steam pipe 300.

[0135] (Multiple heating water tanks 1)

[0136] like Figure 10 As shown, the humidification component 1000 can have multiple heating water tanks 1, and the inlet water tank 600 is connected to each of the multiple heating water tanks 1 via water supply pipes 630. The multiple heating water tanks 1 are arranged side-by-side (e.g., ...). Figure 10 (As shown in the example, arranged along the Z direction), each heating water tank 1 has a steam outlet 12 connected to a steam conduit 500, which extends to the outside of the housing 200.

[0137] The steam conduit 500 is used to transport the steam output from the steam outlet 12 to the outside of the housing 200, for example, to the environment to be humidified (such as indoors), so as to realize the humidification function. Multiple steam conduits 500 corresponding to multiple heating water tanks 1 can deliver steam to different locations in the same room to improve the humidification uniformity of different locations in the room; multiple steam conduits 500 can also deliver steam to different rooms to meet the humidification needs of each room.

[0138] Here, since the outlet of the steam duct 500 is outside the housing 200, there is no need to set up an airflow passage 203 for mixing steam and air inside the housing 200. The volume of the housing 200 can be smaller, which is conducive to miniaturization of the humidification component 1000.

[0139] (Overview of Humidifier Component 1000)

[0140] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a humidification assembly 1000 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 200 and an inlet water tank 600, a heating water tank 1 and a drain pan 700 disposed within the housing 200.

[0141] The inlet water tank 600 is connected to an external water source via an inlet pipe 610, which is equipped with an inlet valve 620. The heating water tank 1 is connected to the inlet water tank 600 via a supply pipe 630 to supply water through the inlet water tank 600. The drain pan 70 is located below the inlet water tank 600 and the heating water tank 1 and is used for draining water.

[0142] The heating water tank 1 includes a tank body 10 and heating elements 20 and baffles 30 disposed within the tank body 10. The tank body 10 includes a top wall 15, a bottom wall 16, a first side wall 13, a second side wall 14, a third side wall 17, and a fourth side wall 18, wherein the first side wall 13 is provided with a steam outlet 12. There are two heating elements 20, which are arranged side by side along a second horizontal direction F2; each heating element 20 includes a temperature protector 23, a heating part 21, and a mounting part 22 connected sequentially along a first horizontal direction F1, and the mounting part 22 is mounted on the second side wall 14. The baffle plate 30 is connected to the top wall 15 of the housing 10 and extends from top to bottom. The lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is lower than the lower edge of the steam outlet 12. In the first horizontal direction F1, the lower edge of the baffle plate 30 is located between the end of the heating part 21 near the steam outlet 12 and the first side wall 13. In the second horizontal direction F2, the steam outlet 12 and the heating parts 21 of the two heating elements 20 are both located between the two ends of the baffle plate 30. The upper part of the baffle plate 30 is provided with a plurality of through holes 31 extending along the first horizontal direction F1, so that steam on the side of the baffle plate 30 away from the steam outlet 12 can flow through the through holes 31 to the side of the baffle plate 30 facing the steam outlet 12.
