Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air humidification technology, and in particular to a water-washable mist-free humidifier. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional humidifiers mostly use ultrasonic atomizing devices to break water into particles and then output them into the air. However, this not only produces visible water mist that affects the appearance, but also wets the surrounding objects. Therefore, mist-free humidifiers were developed and manufactured.

[0003] Current mist-free humidifiers generally have a fixed wet film, water is poured from the top of the wet film, and a fan drives air through the wet film to achieve mist-free humidification. However, such mist-free humidifiers still have some shortcomings. For example, the surface area of ​​a single wet film is limited. If multiple wet films are used, it is difficult to distribute water evenly to wet all parts of the wet film. The lower half of the wet film is prone to dry areas, which is not conducive to improving humidification efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0021] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a water-washable, mist-free humidifier according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0022] The water-washable mist-free humidifier of this utility model includes a housing 100, a water tank 200, and a water wheel 210.

[0023] Reference Figure 2 The housing 100 is provided with an air intake channel 121 and an exhaust channel 111. Both the air intake channel 121 and the exhaust channel 111 are arranged vertically. The upper side of the air intake channel 121 is provided with an air inlet 120, and the top of the exhaust channel 111 is provided with an air outlet 110. The exhaust channel 111 is provided with a fan 112. The fan 112 is used to drive the airflow in the exhaust channel 111 to flow from bottom to top. The fan 112 can be an axial flow fan or a centrifugal fan.

[0024] The water tank 200 is located at the bottom of the shell 100. The bottom ends of the air intake channel 121 and the exhaust channel 111 are both open and connected to the water tank 200. Alternatively, the top of the water tank 200 can be completely open to connect with the air intake channel 121 and the exhaust channel 111. Or, a through hole can be provided on the top wall of the water tank 200 below the air intake channel 121 and the exhaust channel 111, so that the airflow enters from the air inlet 120, flows through the air intake channel 121 to the water tank 200 and the water wheel 210, and then flows through the exhaust channel 111 to the air outlet 110 for discharge.

[0025] The upper part of the water wheel 210 is disposed in the exhaust channel 111, and the lower part of the water wheel 210 is disposed in the water tank 200. The water wheel 210 is rotatably disposed on the housing 100 via a first rotating shaft extending from front to back. The water wheel 210 includes a plurality of water washing plates stacked at intervals from front to back. The water washing plates are circular and coaxial with the first rotating shaft. A gap is left between two adjacent water washing plates for airflow to pass through. The housing 100 is provided with a first driver 211 for driving the water wheel 210 to rotate.

[0026] Reference Figure 4 In use, water is added to the water tank 200, immersing the lower part of the water wheel 210 in the water. The first driver 211 drives the water wheel 210 to rotate, ensuring each water-washing plate of the water wheel 210 is evenly wetted. The fan 112 is then activated, causing air to flow in through the air inlet 120, pass through the water wheel 210, and exit through the air outlet 110, thus humidifying the air. By using multiple water-washing plates, each of which is evenly wetted, and by allowing air to carry away water vapor through the gaps between the plates as it flows through the water wheel 210, the surface area of ​​each water-washing plate is fully utilized. This compact structure helps improve humidification efficiency without increasing the overall size of the equipment. Furthermore, by connecting the air inlet channel 121 to the water tank 200 instead of directly to the upper part of the water wheel 210 via the exhaust channel 111, air can flow above the liquid surface in the water tank 200 into the water wheel 210 and then upwards, extending the contact time between the air and the water wheel 210 and further improving humidification efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments of this utility model, the top of the housing 100 is provided with a top cover 300, and the top cover 300 is provided with a control panel 310. The fan 112, the first driver 211, the heater 113, the negative ion generator, and the ultraviolet lamp are all electrically connected to the control panel 310. The control panel 310 is used to control the start and stop of the fan 112, the first driver 211, the heater 113, the negative ion generator, and the ultraviolet lamp. The air outlet 110 is annular and is located on the lower side of the top cover 300. By placing the control panel 310 on the top of the housing 100, it is convenient for the user to observe and operate the control panel 310. By setting the air outlet 110 in an annular shape, it is convenient for humidified air to be dispersed in all directions. Alternatively, the control panel 310 can be rotatably connected to the top cover 300 via a horizontally set second rotating shaft, as shown in the reference. Figure 1 This allows the control panel 310 to be flipped to stand upright or tilted at a certain angle, making it easy for users to observe and operate the control panel 310 from above the water-washable mist-free humidifier. The bottom surface of the top cover 300 can also be designed as a cone shape with a diameter that gradually decreases from top to bottom to guide airflow and reduce air resistance.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, there are two air intake channels 121, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the exhaust channel 111. Air inlets 120 are located on the side of the air intake channel 121 opposite to the exhaust channel 111, i.e., the two air inlets 120 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the housing 100. Providing two air intake channels 121 increases the airflow, thereby improving humidification efficiency. Furthermore, by setting the axial direction of the water wheel 210 to the front-to-back direction and placing the air intake channels 121 on the left / right sides of the exhaust channel 111, the air flowing in from the air intake channels 121 can flow radially along the water wheel 210 from the gaps between the washing plates to the center of the water wheel 210, which facilitates full contact between the air and the surface of the washing plates.

[0029] In some embodiments of this utility model, reference is made to Figure 3The first driver 211 is an electric motor, which is located above the water wheel 210. The drive shaft of the electric motor is linked to the water wheel 210 via a gear mechanism. The electric motor is located in front of the exhaust channel 111. The gear mechanism includes a first gear fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft and a second gear fixedly mounted on the drive shaft. The axes of the first and second gears are both in the forward and backward direction, and the first and second gears mesh. The number of teeth on the first gear is greater than the number of teeth on the second gear. This allows the electric motor to be started to drive the water wheel 210. By positioning the electric motor above the water wheel 210, water droplets splashed up when the water wheel 210 rotates are less likely to splash onto the electric motor, avoiding malfunctions. The gear mechanism ensures that the transmission between the electric motor and the water wheel 210 is less prone to slippage and has a precise transmission ratio, preventing the water wheel 210 from rotating too fast or too slow. By setting the number of teeth on the first gear to be greater than the number of teeth on the second gear, the gear mechanism also has a deceleration effect, preventing the water wheel 210 from rotating too fast and thus failing to adequately wet the middle part of the water wheel 210 due to centrifugal force.

[0030] In some embodiments of this invention, a heater 113 is provided inside the exhaust channel 111. The heater 113 can be a PTC heater 113; thus, this invention can also serve the function of heating and humidifying, making it suitable for cold and dry weather.

[0031] In some embodiments of this utility model, the heater 113 is located between the fan 112 and the water turbine 210. With the fan 112 positioned downstream of the heater 113, the saturation of the humid air increases after heating. Consequently, when the fan 112 comes into contact with the humid air, secondary condensation of water vapor is less likely, allowing the water vapor to dissipate fully into the external environment. This improves humidification efficiency and helps maintain the dryness of the fan 112.

[0032] In some embodiments of this utility model, the water tank 200 and the housing 100 are detachably connected. The water tank 200 and the housing 100 can be detachably connected by snap-fit, bolt connection, threaded connection or other suitable means; this facilitates the removal of the water tank 200 for cleaning.

[0033] In some embodiments of this invention, the air inlet 120 is provided with a filter element 122. The filter element 122 can be a HEPA filter. In this way, this invention can also perform the function of air filtration.

[0034] In some embodiments of this invention, a negative ion generator is provided inside the exhaust channel 111. The negative ion generator can be located at the air outlet 110; thus, this invention can also activate the negative ion generator to remove odors from the air, making the air fresher.

[0035] In some embodiments of this invention, the bottom of the housing 100 is provided with an ultraviolet lamp facing the water tank 200. This allows the ultraviolet lamp to be activated to sterilize and disinfect the water in the water tank 200, resulting in cleaner air.

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
