Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air outlet device technology, and in particular to a humidification device and an air outlet equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A humidifying fan is a new type of refrigeration equipment that uses centrifugal or high-pressure atomization technology to achieve cooling and humidification.

[0003] In related technologies, humidifying fans generally adopt a single mist output mode, which has the following drawbacks: First, in dry environments or large spaces, the amount of mist produced by humidifying fans in single mist output mode is low, which cannot increase the ambient humidity in a short time and reduces user comfort; Second, when the ambient humidity is high, the fixed amount of mist output of the humidifying fan will over-humidify the environment, resulting in more condensation and affecting the user experience.

[0004] In summary, the humidifying fans in related technologies have difficulty dynamically adjusting the amount of mist produced according to environmental conditions or user needs, which affects the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application aims to solve the problem in related technologies where humidifying fans are difficult to dynamically adjust the amount of mist output according to user needs, thus affecting the user experience. This application provides a humidifying device and an air outlet device.

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a humidification device, comprising:

[0007] A duct assembly that forms a duct cavity through which airflow passes;

[0008] A mist-generating assembly is located in the air duct cavity and includes a mist-collecting hood for storing water mist and a mist-adjusting component for adjusting the amount of water mist. The mist-collecting hood has multiple mist outlets spaced apart, and the mist-adjusting component has multiple mist-adjusting outlets spaced apart. The mist-adjusting outlets are aligned and connected with the mist outlets.

[0009] The fog adjusting component is rotatable relative to the fog collecting hood to adjust the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projections of all the fog adjusting ports on the reference projection plane and the orthographic projections of all the fog outlets on the reference projection plane.

[0010] The humidification device according to the first aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The humidification device of this application, through the coordinated arrangement of the air duct assembly and the mist outlet assembly, places the mist outlet assembly in the air duct cavity. When the airflow flows along the air duct cavity, it carries the water mist from the mist collection hood out. During this process, the mist adjusting component can rotate relative to the mist collection hood, changing the overlapping area of ​​all the mist adjusting ports on the mist adjusting component and all the mist outlets on the mist collection hood in the orthographic projection on the reference projection plane. That is, changing the alignment degree of all the mist adjusting ports on the mist adjusting component and all the mist outlets on the mist collection hood, thereby dynamically adjusting the effective mist outlet area of ​​all the mist outlets of the mist collection hood, thus achieving the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidification device, meeting the diverse usage needs of users, and improving the user experience.

[0012] In some embodiments, the mist regulating member is rotatable about the axis of the mist collecting hood, so that the mist regulating port on the mist regulating member rotates from a state in complete communication with one of the mist outlets to a state in partial communication with the other mist outlet.

[0013] This configuration dynamically adjusts the effective mist output area of ​​all mist outlets in the mist collection hood, thereby dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidifier to meet diverse user needs and enhance the user experience.

[0014] In some embodiments, the diameter of the mist outlet is smaller than the diameter of the mist regulating port.

[0015] This configuration serves two purposes: firstly, when the mist regulating port and the mist outlet are coaxially aligned, the mist outlet can be fully open and not covered or blocked by other structures, ensuring that the mist output of the humidifier is sufficiently large; secondly, when the mist regulating port and the corresponding mist outlet are not coaxial, the mist outlet can be covered or blocked by parts of the mist regulating component other than the mist regulating port, adaptively reducing the mist output of the humidifier and meeting the practical needs of users.

[0016] In some embodiments, the mist collecting hood has a first end wall near the mist regulating member and a second end wall away from the mist regulating member, and a plurality of mist outlets are arranged in an array along the first end wall; the mist regulating member is parallel to the first end wall, and a plurality of mist outlets are arranged in an array along the mist regulating member; the axial direction of the mist collecting hood coincides with the axial direction of the air duct cavity and is perpendicular to the reference projection plane.

[0017] This configuration allows for a more even distribution of multiple mist adjustment ports on the mist adjustment component and multiple mist outlets on the mist collection hood. After the mist adjustment component is rotated at a certain angle, the mist adjustment ports on it and the mist outlets on the mist collection hood are more evenly misaligned. This adjusts the effective mist outlet area of ​​the mist outlet component and facilitates the smooth flow of water mist from the mist collection hood, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification device.

[0018] In some embodiments, the mist collecting hood has a sidewall, the sidewall, the first endwall, and the second endwall surround to form a mist collecting cavity, and the sidewall has a mist inlet communicating with the mist collecting cavity, the mist inlet being used to communicate with a mist supply assembly.

[0019] This configuration allows the mist supply component to continuously supply water mist into the mist collection chamber of the mist collection hood, enabling the water mist in the mist collection chamber to continuously flow into the environment under the airflow driven by the fan component of the humidification device, thus meeting the user's continuous humidification needs.

[0020] In some embodiments, the misting assembly further includes a cover, wherein the second end wall is configured to be open, and the cover is detachably disposed on the second end wall.

[0021] This design allows for two advantages: firstly, the cover can be detachably placed on the second end wall of the mist collection hood, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the inside of the mist collection hood; secondly, it allows for the placement of the mist adjustment component inside the mist collection hood, reducing the axial space occupied by the mist outlet assembly in the air duct cavity and improving the space utilization rate of the air duct assembly.

[0022] In some embodiments, the mist collecting hood is provided with a positioning shaft along its own axial direction, the outer wall of the positioning shaft is provided with a stop portion, the mist adjusting component is sleeved on the positioning shaft and can rotate around the positioning shaft, and the stop portion is used to stop and limit the axial movement of the mist adjusting component.

[0023] With this configuration, the positioning shaft provides positioning for the assembly of the mist adjusting component, making it easy for the mist adjusting component to rotate and connect to the mist collecting hood. At the same time, the stop on the positioning shaft stops and limits the axial ends of the mist adjusting component, which can effectively prevent the mist adjusting component from moving away from the positioning shaft along the axial direction, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the mist adjusting component's rotational movement.

[0024] In some embodiments, the mist outlet assembly further includes a drive member disposed on the mist collection hood, the output end of the drive member being connected to the mist adjustment member to drive the mist adjustment member to rotate relative to the mist collection hood;

[0025] The humidification device also includes a humidity sensor, which is used to detect the humidity of the environment in which the humidification device is located. The drive component is communicatively connected to the humidity sensor to control the rotation angle and rotation direction of the mist adjusting component based on the detection information of the humidity sensor.

[0026] This configuration allows the humidifier to automatically control the rotation angle and direction of the mist regulating element according to the actual humidity level of the environment, and dynamically adjust the effective mist outlet area of ​​all mist outlets of the mist collection hood. This achieves the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidifier, meeting the diverse usage needs of users and improving the user experience.

[0027] In some embodiments, the air duct assembly includes a housing, with an air inlet and an air outlet respectively provided at opposite ends of the housing, and the air inlet and the air outlet respectively communicating with the air duct cavity;

[0028] The humidification device also includes a fan assembly disposed in the air duct cavity, the fan assembly being used to drive airflow from the air inlet into the air duct cavity and out through the air outlet.

[0029] With this configuration, the fan assembly drives the airflow from the air inlet into the air duct cavity, and the air pressure simultaneously drives the water mist in the mist collection hood to flow into the air duct cavity from the mist outlet of the mist collection hood. The water mist is then blown out of the air duct cavity along with the airflow in the air duct cavity to the air outlet, so as to quickly cool and humidify the environment.

[0030] Secondly, this application provides an air outlet device, which includes the humidification device described above.

[0031] The air outlet device according to the second aspect of this application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0032] The air outlet device of this application, because it is equipped with the aforementioned humidification device, also has the same technical effect as the humidification device, namely, the ability to dynamically adjust the mist output of the humidification device, thereby meeting the diverse usage needs of users and improving the user experience.

[0049] A humidifying fan is a new type of refrigeration equipment that uses centrifugal or high-pressure atomization technology to achieve cooling and humidification.

[0050] In related technologies, humidifying fans generally adopt a single mist output mode, which has the following drawbacks: First, in dry environments or large spaces, the amount of mist produced by humidifying fans in single mist output mode is low, which cannot increase the ambient humidity in a short time and reduces user comfort; Second, when the ambient humidity is high, the fixed amount of mist output of the humidifying fan will over-humidify the environment, resulting in more condensation and affecting the user experience.

[0051] In summary, the humidifying fans in related technologies have difficulty dynamically adjusting the amount of mist produced according to user needs, which affects the user experience.

[0052] Based on this, one or more embodiments of this application provide a humidification device. Through the coordinated arrangement of the air duct assembly 200 and the mist outlet assembly 300, the mist outlet assembly 300 is positioned in the air duct cavity 210. When the airflow flows along the air duct cavity 210, it carries the water mist from the mist collection hood 310. During this process, the mist adjusting component 320 can rotate relative to the mist collection hood 310, changing the overlapping area of ​​all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and all the mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310 in the orthographic projection on the reference projection plane. That is, changing the alignment degree of all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and all the mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310, thereby dynamically adjusting the effective mist outlet area of ​​all the mist outlets 311 of the mist collection hood 310. This achieves the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidification device, meeting diverse user needs and improving the user experience.

[0053] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 This application provides a humidification device, which includes an air duct assembly 200 and a mist output assembly 300.

[0054] The air duct assembly 200 forms an air duct cavity 210 through which airflow passes.

[0055] The misting assembly 300 is located in the air duct cavity 210. The misting assembly 300 includes a mist collecting hood 310 for storing water mist and a mist adjusting component 320 for adjusting the amount of water mist. The mist collecting hood 310 has a plurality of spaced mist outlets 311, and the mist adjusting component 320 has a plurality of spaced mist adjusting ports 321. The mist adjusting ports 321 are aligned and connected with the mist outlets 311.

[0056] The fog adjusting component 320 can rotate relative to the fog collecting hood 310 to adjust the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of all fog adjusting ports 321 on the reference projection plane and the orthographic projection of all fog outlets 311 on the reference projection plane.

[0057] It should be noted that, in this application, see [reference 1] Figure 1 The humidification device may also include a support frame 100, with the air duct assembly 200 mounted on the support frame 100. The support frame 100 provides stable support for structural components such as the air duct assembly 200 and the mist outlet assembly 300 located in the air duct cavity 210.

[0058] For duct assembly 200, see Figure 1The air duct assembly 200 can have a housing 220, with an internal cavity forming an air duct cavity 210. The housing 220 has an air inlet (not shown in the figure) and an air outlet 221 at opposite ends, respectively, which communicate with the air duct cavity 210. The housing 220 can be a regular rotating body such as a cylinder or sphere, and the air duct cavity 210 formed inside it corresponds to this regular rotating body cavity. The axis of the air duct cavity 210 corresponds to the central axis of the air duct cavity 220. It should be further noted that... Figure 1 In order to make the detailed structure of the fogging assembly 300 clearer, only part of the housing 220 is shown, and the part with the air inlet is hidden and not shown.

[0059] The humidification device may also include a fan assembly 400, which is disposed within the air duct cavity 210. The fan assembly 400 drives airflow from the air inlet into the air duct cavity 210 and drives water mist in the mist collection hood 310 to flow into the air duct cavity 210 from the mist outlet 311 of the mist collection hood 310. The water mist is then blown out along the air duct cavity 210 towards the air outlet 221 by the airflow within the air duct cavity 210, thereby cooling and humidifying the environment. The fan assembly 400 may be a structure consisting of a bearing fan and a motor.

[0060] For the mist outlet assembly 300, the mist collection hood 310 has a shell structure, such as a cylindrical shell or a cuboid shell. The mist collection hood 310 forms a mist collection chamber 315 inside, which is used to store water mist. The humidification device may also include a mist supply assembly (not shown in the figure), which is disposed on the support frame 100 and communicates with the mist collection chamber 315 inside the mist collection hood 310 to supply water mist to the mist collection chamber 315.

[0061] Specifically, the mist supply assembly includes a water tank, a mist generator, and a mist pipe. The water tank is mounted on a support frame 100, which has a pipe cavity inside. The mist pipe is located in the pipe cavity and extends along it to the mist collecting hood 310, communicating with the hood. The mist generator is located at the outlet of the water tank and is used to atomize the liquid water in the water tank into water mist, and then deliver the water mist to the mist collecting hood 310 through the mist pipe, thereby continuously supplying water mist to the mist collecting hood 310. The mist generator can be an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0062] In some embodiments, the mist collecting hood 310 has a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of mist outlets 311 are formed on the end wall of the mist collecting hood 310 near the fan assembly 400. The mist regulating element 320 is disposed on the end wall of the mist collecting hood 310 with the mist outlets 311, and the plurality of mist regulating ports 321 on the mist regulating element 320 are aligned and connected with the plurality of mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310.

[0063] In this embodiment, a plane perpendicular to the axis of the air duct cavity 210 is defined as the projection reference plane. When the mist adjusting component 320 is in the initial position, the multiple mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 are aligned and connected with the multiple mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310. At this time, the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the reference projection plane and the orthographic projection of all the mist outlets 311 on the reference projection plane is the largest, and the mist output of the mist outlet component 300 is correspondingly the largest. When the mist adjusting component 320 rotates relative to the mist collecting hood 310, the portion between two adjacent mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 will cover the portion of the corresponding mist outlet 311. This results in different alignment degrees between the multiple mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and the multiple mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310. In other words, the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the reference projection plane and the orthographic projection of all the mist outlets 311 on the reference projection plane gradually decreases, thereby reducing the amount of mist emitted by the mist outlet assembly 300.

[0064] Of course, in other embodiments, the mist collecting hood 310 has a cylindrical tube structure, and multiple mist outlets 311 are opened on the circumferential sidewalls of the mist collecting hood 310, rather than on the end wall of the mist collecting hood 310. The mist adjusting component 320 also has a cylindrical tube structure, and the mist adjusting component 320 is coaxially inserted into the mist collecting hood 310 or coaxially sleeved on the outside of the mist collecting hood 310, so that the mist collecting hood 310 and the mist adjusting component 320 are nested and matched.

[0065] In this embodiment, the annular plane containing the circumferential sidewall of the fog collecting hood 310 is defined as the projection reference plane. When the fog adjusting component 320 is in the initial position, the multiple fog adjusting ports 321 on the fog adjusting component 320 are aligned and connected with the multiple fog outlets 311 on the fog collecting hood 310. At this time, the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of all fog adjusting ports 321 on the reference projection plane and the orthographic projection of all fog outlets 311 on the reference projection plane is the largest, and the fog output of the fog outlet component 300 is correspondingly the largest. When the mist adjusting component 320 rotates relative to the mist collecting hood 310, the portion between two adjacent mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 will cover the portion of the corresponding mist outlet 311. This results in different alignment degrees between the multiple mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and the multiple mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310. In other words, the overlapping area of ​​the orthographic projection of all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the reference projection plane and the orthographic projection of all the mist outlets 311 on the reference projection plane gradually decreases, thereby reducing the amount of mist emitted by the mist outlet assembly 300.

[0066] Of course, in other embodiments, the fog collecting hood 310 and the fog adjusting component 320 may also be of other shapes and structures, without any specific limitation.

[0067] It is easy to understand that the rotation angle of the mist regulating component 320 relative to the mist collecting hood 310 can be adjusted according to the actual working conditions of the environment or the user's humidity requirements. This changes the alignment degree between all the mist regulating ports 321 on the mist regulating component 320 and all the mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310, thereby dynamically adjusting the effective mist outlet area of ​​all the mist outlets 311 of the mist collecting hood 310, thus achieving the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidification device.

[0068] Based on the above description, it is easy to understand that the humidification device of this application embodiment, through the cooperative arrangement of the air duct assembly 200 and the mist outlet assembly 300, with the mist outlet assembly 300 disposed in the air duct cavity 210, allows the airflow to carry out the water mist in the mist collection hood 310 when it flows along the air duct cavity 210. During this process, the mist adjusting component 320 can be rotated relative to the mist collection hood 310, changing the overlapping area of ​​all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and all the mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310 in the orthogonal projection on the reference projection plane. That is, changing the alignment degree of all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and all the mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310, thereby dynamically adjusting the effective mist outlet area of ​​all the mist outlets 311 of the mist collection hood 310, thereby achieving the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidification device, meeting the diverse usage needs of users, and improving the user experience.

[0069] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The mist adjusting component 320 can rotate around the axis of the mist collecting hood 310 so that the mist adjusting port 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 rotates from a state that is fully connected with one mist outlet 311 to a state that is partially connected with another mist outlet 311.

[0070] Specifically, see Figure 1 The mist output assembly 300 also includes a drive member 340 disposed on the mist collection hood 310. The output end of the drive member 340 is connected to the mist adjusting member 320 to drive the mist adjusting member 320 to rotate relative to the mist collection hood 310. The drive member 340 may be, but is not limited to, a motor or other rotary drive member.

[0071] The rotation axis of the mist adjusting component 320 coincides with the central axis of the mist collecting hood 310. All the mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310 are distributed in a ring shape, and correspondingly, the multiple mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 are also distributed in a ring shape. The annular plane containing all the mist outlets 311 is parallel to the annular plane containing all the mist adjusting ports 321. When the mist adjusting component 320 is in its initial position, the projected overlap area between the mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and the corresponding mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310 is the largest.

[0072] When the mist adjusting component 320 rotates around the axis of the mist collecting hood 310 by a certain angle, the mist adjusting port 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 rotates from a state that is fully connected with the mist outlet 311 on the mist collecting hood 310 to a state that is partially connected with another mist outlet 311 on the mist collecting hood 310.

[0073] It should be understood that when the mist adjusting port 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 is fully connected to the corresponding mist outlet 311 on the mist collecting hood 310, the portion between the mist adjusting port 321 and the adjacent mist adjusting port 321 will not cover or block the corresponding mist outlet 311. When the mist adjusting port 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 is partially connected to the corresponding mist outlet 311 on the mist collecting hood 310, the portion between the mist adjusting port 321 and the adjacent mist adjusting port 321 covers or blocks at least a portion of the corresponding mist outlet 311, thereby reducing the projected overlapping area of ​​the mist adjusting port 321 and the corresponding mist outlet 311. The same applies to the remaining mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320.

[0074] The above structure, by rotating the mist regulating component 320 around the axis of the mist collecting hood 310, causes the mist regulating port 321 on the mist regulating component 320 to rotate from a state of complete communication with one mist outlet 311 to a state of partial communication with another mist outlet 311, dynamically adjusting the effective mist outlet area of ​​all mist outlets 311 of the mist collecting hood 310, thereby achieving the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidifier, meeting the diverse usage needs of users, and improving the user experience.

[0075] Further, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diameter of the mist outlet 311 is smaller than the diameter of the mist regulating outlet 321.

[0076] Specifically, both the mist outlet 311 and the mist adjusting outlet 321 are round holes, with the diameter of the mist outlet 311 being 0.5 mm and the diameter of the mist adjusting outlet 321 being 2 mm.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the mist outlet 311 and the corresponding mist regulating outlet 321 are coaxially connected, their projected overlapping area is the largest, resulting in the largest effective mist outlet area of ​​the mist outlet assembly 300 and the largest mist output of the humidification device. When the axis of the mist regulating outlet 321 passes through the area between two adjacent mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310, the area between the two adjacent mist regulating outlets 321 covers or blocks the corresponding mist outlet 311, reducing the effective mist outlet area of ​​the mist outlet assembly 300 and correspondingly reducing the mist output of the humidification device.

[0078] Of course, in other embodiments, the mist outlet 311 and the mist adjustment outlet 321 can also be square or polygonal.

[0079] Understandably, by setting the diameter of the mist outlet 311 to be smaller than that of the mist regulating outlet 321, on the one hand, when the mist regulating outlet 321 and the mist outlet 311 are coaxially aligned, the mist outlet 311 can be in a completely open state without being covered or blocked by other structures, ensuring that the mist output of the humidifier is large enough; on the other hand, when the mist regulating outlet 321 and the corresponding mist outlet 311 are not coaxial, the mist outlet 311 can be covered or blocked by parts of the mist regulating component 320 other than the mist regulating outlet 321, adaptively reducing the mist output of the humidifier and meeting the practical needs of users.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The mist collection hood 310 has a first end wall 312 near the mist regulating member 320 and a second end wall 313 away from the mist regulating member 320. Multiple mist outlets 311 are arranged in an array along the first end wall 312. The mist regulating member 320 is parallel to the first end wall 312, and multiple mist regulating ports 321 are arranged in an array along the mist regulating member 320. The axial direction of the mist collection hood 310 coincides with the axial direction of the air duct cavity 210 and is perpendicular to the reference projection plane.

[0081] Specifically, the mist collecting hood 310 is cylindrical, with both the first end wall 312 and the second end wall 313 being circular surfaces. All mist outlets 311 are arranged in a ring-shaped array along the first end wall 312. Correspondingly, the mist adjusting element 320 is plate-shaped, positioned close to and parallel to the first end wall 312. The rotation axis of the mist adjusting element 320, the central axis of the mist collecting hood 310, and the air duct cavity 210 coincide.

[0082] A small gap may exist between the mist adjusting element 320 and the first end wall 312. On the one hand, this avoids the first end wall 312 from interfering with the rotational movement of the mist adjusting element 320. On the other hand, it minimizes the amount of water mist entering the gap between the mist adjusting element 320 and the first end wall 312.

[0083] The above structure allows for a more uniform distribution of multiple mist adjustment ports 321 on the mist adjustment component 320 and multiple mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310. This ensures that after the mist adjustment component 320 is rotated at a certain angle, the mist adjustment ports 321 on it and the mist outlets 311 on the mist collection hood 310 are more evenly misaligned. This adjusts the effective mist outlet area of ​​the mist outlet assembly 300 and facilitates the smooth flow of water mist from the mist collection hood 310, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification device.

[0084] Furthermore, see also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The mist collection hood 310 has a side wall 314. The side wall 314, the first end wall 312, and the second end wall 313 surround to form a mist collection cavity 315. The side wall 314 has a mist inlet 316 that communicates with the mist collection cavity 315. The mist inlet 316 is used to connect to the mist supply assembly (not shown in the figure).

[0085] Specifically, the side wall 314, the first end wall 312, and the second end wall 313 form a cylindrical mist collection cavity 315.

[0086] The mist supply assembly includes a water tank (not shown in the figure), a mist generator (not shown in the figure), and a mist-passing pipe (not shown in the figure). The water tank is mounted on a support frame 100 of the humidification device. The support frame 100 has a pipe cavity inside. The mist-passing pipe is located in the pipe cavity and extends along the pipe cavity to the mist collection hood 310, communicating with the mist inlet 316 of the mist collection hood 310. The mist generator is located at the outlet of the water tank and is used to atomize the liquid water in the water tank into water mist, and deliver the water mist to the mist collection hood 310 through the mist-passing pipe, thereby continuously supplying water mist to the mist collection hood 310. The mist generator can be an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0087] The above structure utilizes a mist supply component to continuously supply water mist into the mist collection chamber 315 of the mist collection hood 310, so that the water mist in the mist collection chamber 315 can continuously flow into the environment under the airflow driven by the fan component 400 of the humidification device, thereby meeting the user's continuous humidification needs.

[0088] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The fogging assembly 300 also includes a cover 330, the second end wall 313 is configured to be open, and the cover 330 is detachably disposed on the second end wall 313.

[0089] Specifically, the cover 330 can be detachably mounted on the second end wall 313 via bolts, clips, or other detachable structures, facilitating the disassembly and replacement of the cover 330. A through hole is provided on the cover 330, and the mist adjusting component 320 is disposed within the mist collecting chamber 315 of the mist collecting hood 310. The output shaft of the drive component 340 passes through the through hole on the cover 330 and connects to the mist adjusting component 320 to drive the mist adjusting component 320 to rotate relative to the mist collecting hood 310.

[0090] Understandably, the above structure allows the cover 330 to be detachably mounted on the second end wall 313 of the mist collection hood 310, facilitating cleaning and maintenance of the interior of the mist collection hood 310. On the other hand, it facilitates the placement of the mist regulating component 320 inside the mist collection hood 310, reducing the axial space occupied by the mist outlet assembly 300 in the air duct cavity 210 and improving the space utilization rate of the air duct assembly 200.

[0091] Further, see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The mist collection hood 310 is provided with a positioning shaft 317 along its own axis. The outer wall of the positioning shaft 317 is provided with a stop part 3171. The mist adjusting component 320 is sleeved on the positioning shaft 317 and can rotate around the positioning shaft 317. The stop part 3171 is used to limit the axial stop of the mist adjusting component 320.

[0092] Specifically, the positioning shaft 317 is located inside the mist collection hood 310, and the mist adjusting component 320 is sleeved on the positioning shaft 317 and driven by the driving component 340 to rotate around the positioning shaft 317.

[0093] The stop portion 3171 is an annular block, which together with the first end wall 312 of the mist collecting hood 310 forms an annular groove. The mist adjusting component 320 is located in the annular groove. The two opposing inner walls of the annular groove along its own axial direction stop and limit the axial ends of the mist adjusting component 320, preventing the mist adjusting component 320 from moving axially away from the positioning shaft 317.

[0094] The depth of the annular groove is greater than the thickness of the mist adjusting element 320, reducing the probability of structural interference caused by the rotation of the mist collecting hood 310 on the mist adjusting element 320. Of course, in other embodiments, in order to improve the smoothness of the rotation of the mist adjusting element 320, the mist adjusting element 320 can be rotatably connected to the positioning shaft 317 through a bearing, reducing the frictional resistance between the mist adjusting element 320 and the positioning shaft 317.

[0095] It is understandable that, in the above structure, the positioning shaft 317 provides positioning for the assembly of the mist adjusting component 320, making it easy for the mist adjusting component 320 to be rotatably connected to the mist collecting cover 310. At the same time, the stop part 3171 on the positioning shaft 317 stops and limits the axial ends of the mist adjusting component 320, which can effectively prevent the mist adjusting component 320 from moving axially and disengaging from the positioning shaft 317, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the rotational movement of the mist adjusting component 320.

[0096] See also some embodiments of this application. Figure 1 The mist output assembly 300 also includes a drive member 340 disposed on the mist collection hood 310. The output end of the drive member 340 is connected to the mist adjustment member 320 to drive the mist adjustment member 320 to rotate relative to the mist collection hood 310. The humidification device also includes a humidity sensor (not shown in the figure). The humidity sensor is used to detect the humidity of the environment in which the humidification device is located. The drive member 340 is communicatively connected to the humidity sensor to control the rotation angle and rotation direction of the mist adjustment member 320 according to the detection information of the humidity sensor.

[0097] Specifically, a humidity sensor is installed at the air outlet 221 of the air duct assembly 200 to facilitate direct detection of the humidity of the environment in which the humidifier is located. The humidifier also includes a main controller, which is communicatively connected to the drive unit 340 and the humidity sensor. The main controller obtains the detection information from the humidity sensor and controls the rotation angle and direction of the drive unit 340, thereby controlling the rotation angle and direction of the mist adjusting component 320 and changing the alignment degree between all the mist adjusting ports 321 on the mist adjusting component 320 and all the mist outlets 311 on the mist collecting hood 310.

[0098] For example, when the humidity sensor detects that the ambient humidity is too low, the drive unit 340 drives the mist adjustment unit 320 to rotate, so that the mist adjustment unit 320 rotates to the position where the projected overlap area of ​​all the mist adjustment ports 321 on it and all the mist outlet ports 311 on the mist collection hood 310 reaches the maximum, so that the mist output of the humidification device is maximized and the ambient humidity is quickly increased to the predetermined humidity.

[0099] When the humidity sensor detects that the ambient humidity is too high, the drive unit 340 drives the fog adjusting component 320 to rotate, so that the fog adjusting component 320 rotates to the position where the projected overlap area of ​​all the fog adjusting ports 321 on it and all the fog outlets 311 on the fog collecting hood 310 reaches the minimum, so that the fog output of the humidification device is minimized and the ambient humidity is quickly reduced to the predetermined humidity.

[0100] The above structure enables the humidifier to automatically control the rotation angle and direction of the mist regulating component 320 according to the actual humidity of the environment, and adaptably and dynamically adjust the effective mist outlet area of ​​all the mist outlets 311 of the mist collection hood 310, thereby achieving the effect of dynamically adjusting the mist output of the humidifier, meeting the diverse usage needs of users, and improving the user experience.

[0101] In some embodiments of this application, see Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The air duct assembly 200 includes a housing 220, with an air inlet and an air outlet 221 at opposite ends of the housing 220, which are respectively connected to the air duct cavity 210. The humidification device also includes a fan assembly 400 disposed in the air duct cavity 210, which drives the airflow to enter from the air inlet and flow out along the air duct cavity 210 to the air outlet 221.

[0102] The fan assembly 400 drives airflow from the air inlet into the air duct cavity 210. The air pressure simultaneously drives water mist in the mist collection hood 310 to flow into the air duct cavity 210 from the mist outlet 311. The water mist is then blown out along the air duct cavity 210 towards the air outlet 221 by the airflow within the air duct cavity 210, thus rapidly cooling and humidifying the environment. The fan assembly 400 can be a structure combining a bearing fan and a motor.

[0103] In addition, this application also provides an air outlet device, which includes the humidification device of any of the above embodiments.

[0104] Specifically, the air outlet equipment can be, but is not limited to, a cooling fan, a circulating fan, an air conditioner, an air purifier, etc.

[0105] The air outlet device in this application embodiment, because it is equipped with the humidification device described above, also has the same technical effect brought by the humidification device, that is, it can dynamically adjust the amount of mist output of the humidification device to meet the diverse usage needs of users and improve the user experience.

[0106] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
