[0031] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 7 The present invention describes a humidifier 100.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the humidifier 100 of this utility model embodiment includes a first air duct 1, a second air duct 2, and a display component 3.

[0033] The top surface of the first air duct 1 is provided with an air outlet 11. The second air duct 2 is fixedly connected to the first air duct 1 and is located on the outer periphery of the air outlet 11. The second air duct 2 extends along the height direction of the first air duct 1 and exceeds the top surface of the first air duct 1. The second air duct 2 includes a display part 21, which includes a bottom end and a top end arranged opposite to each other in the height direction of the first air duct 1. The display part 21 gradually moves away from the air outlet 11 from the bottom end to the top end.

[0034] Display component 3 is installed on display unit 21. Display component 3 includes components such as display screen, driver circuit board, and backlight module.

[0035] The air outlet 11 is used to vent air, and water can also be added to the humidifier 100 through the air outlet 11.

[0036] The second air duct 2 is installed on top of the first air duct 1. For example, the second air duct 2 is detachably connected to the first air duct 1, or the second air duct 2 is integrally formed with the first air duct 1. The second air duct 2 is annular and arranged around the outer periphery of the air outlet 11. The specific shape of the second air duct 2 is not limited. For example, the second air duct 2 is circular or rectangular.

[0037] The second air duct 2 extends upward along the height of the first air duct 1, and its top end exceeds the top surface of the first air duct 1. That is, the top surface of the second air duct 2 is set higher than the top surface of the first air duct 1. The upward extension of the second air duct 2 not only serves to guide airflow but also helps to prevent water from splashing outwards when water is added.

[0038] The display section 21 has a bottom end and a top end that are positioned opposite each other in the height direction of the first air duct 1, and the bottom end of the display section 21 is connected to the first air duct 1. The display section 21 gradually moves away from the air outlet 11 from the bottom end to the top end; in other words, the display section 21 is configured to gradually tilt and expand outward from the bottom end to the top end.

[0039] The surface of the display unit 21 facing the air outlet 11 is the inner surface, and the surface away from the air outlet 11 is the outer surface. The display component 3 is mounted on either the inner or outer surface of the display unit 21. It should be noted that if the display component 3 is mounted on the inner surface of the display unit 21, then the display component 3 needs to be waterproofed.

[0040] When the humidifier 100 is running, the humidified airflow is discharged to the external environment through the air outlet 11 on the top surface of the first air duct 1. Because the second air duct 2 surrounds the air outlet 11 and extends upwards, the area around the air outlet 11 remains completely unobstructed. Simultaneously, the user can directly add water to the internal water tank through the air outlet 11 without having to avoid the display screen structure. When the user is standing and checking the device status, the tilted display unit 21 ensures that the display interface of the display component 3 is aligned with the user's line of sight, allowing the user to directly read operating parameters while in a normal standing posture.

[0041] In related technologies, floor-standing humidifiers typically place the display screen on the outer perimeter of the casing. However, because floor-standing humidifiers are usually quite low, users cannot clearly and intuitively view the device's operating parameters while standing, requiring them to frequently crouch down to see the screen, resulting in a poor user experience. If the display screen were placed directly on the top of the unit at the air outlet for easier viewing, it would encroach on the effective area for airflow and water filling, affecting the device's performance.

[0042] The humidifier 100 of this embodiment features a display component 3 mounted on an inclined display section 21, oriented towards the user's line of sight when standing. This allows the user to view the display without crouching, facilitating the reading of device information. Furthermore, the display component 3 is positioned on the second air duct 2 on the outer periphery of the air outlet 11, without occupying the planar space of the air outlet 11. This ensures that the air outlet or water filling area of ​​the air outlet 11 is not affected, thus maintaining device performance. The humidifier 100 of this embodiment maintains top airflow efficiency and ease of water filling while improving the viewing angle of the display screen for user convenience, thereby enhancing the user's operating experience.

[0043] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the display section 21 has a light-transmitting area 22, and the display component 3 is located on the side of the light-transmitting area 22 away from the air outlet 11.

[0044] In this embodiment, the display unit 21 has a light-transmitting area 22 for light to pass through. The light emitted by the display component 3 passes through the light-transmitting area 22 and is transmitted to the outside, thereby realizing the visualization of information. The display component 3 is installed and fixed on the outside of the light-transmitting area 22, that is, in the external space of the second air duct 2, and its display interface faces the light-transmitting area 22.

[0045] It is understandable that the wall thickness of the light-transmitting area 22 is less than the wall thickness of other parts of the display section 21, or the wall thickness of the light-transmitting area 22 is less than the wall thickness of other parts of the second air duct 2, thereby facilitating the transmission of light through the display component 3; when the display component 3 is not lit, the display component 3 is not visible outside the light-transmitting area 22, or the component 3 can only be vaguely displayed. Alternatively, the light-transmitting area 22 may be made of a transparent material.

[0046] The humidifier 100 of this utility model, by placing the display component 3 on the side of the light-transmitting area 22 away from the air outlet 11, can achieve the information display function while using the light-transmitting area 22 to form an isolation and protection for the display component 3, reducing the risk of water vapor or liquid in the air outlet 11 directly contacting the display component 3, thus eliminating the need to set an additional waterproof structure for the display component 3.

[0047] In some embodiments, the thickness of the light-transmitting area 22 is 1mm-1.5mm.

[0048] In this embodiment, the wall thickness constituting the light-transmitting area 22 is controlled between 1 mm and 1.5 mm, for example, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, or 1.5 mm. This thickness ensures that the light-transmitting area 22 has sufficient mechanical strength to withstand external pressure or impact, while also ensuring the clarity of the displayed content.

[0049] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the second air duct 2 includes a mounting part 23, which is located on the side of the display part 21 away from the air outlet 11. The mounting part 23 has an opening 231 on one side of the second air duct 2 in the circumferential direction to form a slot. The display component 3 slides along its own length direction to be installed into the slot.

[0050] In this embodiment, the mounting part 23 is located on the side of the display part 21 away from the air outlet 11, that is, the mounting part 23 is located on the outer surface of the display part 21.

[0051] The mounting part 23 has an opening 231 on one side of the second air duct 2 in the circumferential direction to form a slot. That is, the opening 231 of the mounting part 23 is not facing the height direction of the first air duct 1, nor facing the center of the second air duct 2, but facing one side of the circumference of the second air duct 2. All mounting parts 23 have openings 231 in the same direction, forming a slot into which the display component 3 can be inserted. During assembly, the display component 3 slides along its long side from the opening 231 end of the slot along the circumference of the second air duct 2 until it is fully embedded in the mounting part 23, thereby achieving the positioning of the display component 3.

[0052] The humidifier 100 of this utility model simplifies the assembly steps of the display component 3, reduces the assembly difficulty, and improves production efficiency by sliding the slot with the display component 3.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, two rows of mounting parts 23 are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the first air duct 1, and each row includes at least one mounting part 23. The display component 3 is provided with two rows of inserts 31, and the inserts 31 are correspondingly disposed in the slots.

[0054] In this embodiment, a limiting position is formed between the two rows of mounting parts 23. The display component 3 is provided with two rows of insertion posts 31. When installing the display component 3, the insertion posts 31 are inserted into the corresponding slots to support and fix the display component 3 from the top and bottom positions.

[0055] It is understood that each row of mounting parts 23 includes at least one mounting part 23, and each row of inserts 31 includes at least one insert 31. The number of mounting parts 23 is consistent with the number of inserts 31, and there is no specific limitation. For example, the number of mounting parts 23 and inserts 31 in each row is 1, 2 or 3, etc.

[0056] The humidifier 100 of this utility model enhances the stability of the display component 3 installation by cooperating with the two rows of mounting parts 23 and the two rows of plugs 31, preventing it from shifting or falling off under gravity or vibration.

[0057] In some embodiments, the humidifier 100 includes an operating component, the second air duct 2 includes an operating section 24, the operating section 24 and the display section 21 are on opposite sides of the air outlet 11, and the operating component is mounted on the operating section 24.

[0058] In this embodiment, the operation components include control buttons or knobs, etc., and are installed on the side of the operation unit 24 away from the air outlet 11 or on the top surface of the operation unit 24. The operation unit 24 and the display unit 21 are arranged opposite to each other, making it convenient for the user to observe the screen feedback while operating.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the top surface of the operation unit 24 is provided with a button area 241, and the operation component includes at least one operating member. The operating member is arranged corresponding to the button area 241 in the height direction of the first air duct 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the upper surface of the operation section 24 is defined as the button area 241, and the operating components, such as button caps or touch sensing sheets, are disposed below the button area 241. In the height direction of the first air duct 1, the operating components are aligned with the button area 241, allowing the user to directly press or touch the operating components on the button area 241, thus facilitating the adjustment of relevant parameters.

[0061] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the display unit 21 includes a first side wall 211 and a first top wall 212. The first top wall 212 is connected to the first air duct 1 through the first side wall 211. The display assembly 3 includes at least one fixing part 32. The fixing part 32 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 211 and / or the first top wall 212 by fasteners.

[0062] In this embodiment, the first sidewall 211 is inclined, the bottom end of the first sidewall 211 is fixedly connected to the first air duct 1, and the top of the first sidewall 211 is provided with a first top wall 212.

[0063] The display component 3 is provided with a fixing part 32 for mounting fasteners, such as an ear plate or a boss. The fixing part 32 has one mounting hole, and mounting holes are also provided on the first side wall 211 or the first top wall 212. Thus, the fixing part 32 is fixedly connected to the first side wall 211 and / or the first top wall 212 by fasteners such as screws. Alternatively, multiple fixing parts 32 may be provided, each with a mounting hole, and multiple mounting holes are also provided on the first side wall 211 or the first top wall 212, thus fixing the fixing part 32 to the first side wall 211 and / or the first top wall 212.

[0064] The humidifier 100 of this utility model uses fasteners to connect the fixing part 32 to the display part 21, thereby fixing the display component 3 in a predetermined position, ensuring the positional accuracy of the display component 3 after installation, preventing it from shaking, and ensuring the stability of the display interface.

[0065] The humidifier 100 of this embodiment utilizes slots and posts 31 to allow the display component 3 to achieve initial positioning through sliding engagement, reducing alignment difficulties during assembly and improving assembly efficiency. Subsequent secondary fixation with fasteners ensures that the display component 3 does not loosen or shift during long-term use or transportation, guaranteeing the positional accuracy of the display interface and the stability of the overall structure.

[0066] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the humidifier 100 includes a housing 4, which is fitted onto the outer periphery of the second air duct 2, and the first top wall 212 is fixedly connected to the housing 4.

[0067] In this embodiment, the humidifier 100 is also equipped with a housing 4, which covers the outside of the second air duct 2 and houses the first air duct 1, the display component 3 and the operation component inside it. The housing 4 is fixed to the second air duct 2 by means of snap-fit, threaded connection or other means, and the housing 4 is fixed to the first top wall 212 by means of snap-fit, threaded connection or other means.

[0068] The humidifier 100 of this utility model protects the second air duct 2 and other components by setting the outer shell 4, thereby preventing dust or foreign objects from directly entering the device and maintaining the cleanliness of the device.

[0069] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the angle θ between the display unit 21 and the top surface of the first air duct 1 is 105 degrees to 135 degrees. For example, θ is 105 degrees, 120 degrees, or 135 degrees, etc.

[0070] The humidifier 100 of this utility model optimizes the viewing angle in terms of physical structure by setting the display section 21 to a specific tilt angle, so that the normal direction of the display interface is closer to the line of sight of the user when standing.

[0071] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications, or equivalent substitutions of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention and should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
