Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of portable atomizer technology, specifically a portable vertical atomizer. Background Technology

[0002] A portable upright nebulizer is a personal or home device that integrates portability, a stable upright structure, and efficient nebulization. It is typically used to increase ambient humidity, provide aromatherapy, or provide medical nebulization treatment.

[0003] During use, existing atomizers often experience liquid accumulation near the nozzle due to spray condensation or residue. Even if some atomizers employ a shielding structure, its function is limited, merely shielding the nozzle area without effectively addressing residual liquid. This residual liquid not only affects the aesthetics and hygiene of the device but may also seep into the casing, causing short circuits or component corrosion, thus reducing product reliability and lifespan. Therefore, we propose a portable vertical atomizer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One of the technical objectives of this application is to comprehensively solve the key problems of nozzle contamination and liquid overflow intrusion into the interior of vertical atomizers by integrating a push-pull cover for dust prevention with an innovative flow guide structure, thereby improving the product's sealing performance, safety, and service life.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application provides a portable vertical atomizer, including a housing, a spray unit and a water tank. A push-pull cover for covering the nozzle of the spray unit is movably disposed on the front of the housing, and a flow collecting groove is provided on both sides of the push-pull cover on the front of the housing. A partition-type flow guide is provided on the back of the push-pull cover, which contacts the front of the housing and cooperates with the flow collecting groove.

[0006] In some embodiments, the partition-type flow guide includes a U-shaped partition seal that is detachably mounted on the push-pull cover, with the U-shaped partition seal opening downwards; Furthermore, a guide channel is provided on one side of each of the collection channels, and the guide channel is located at the position of the U-shaped partition seal when the push-pull cover is in the open and closed states, respectively.

[0007] In some embodiments, a groove is provided on the inner side of the push-pull cover, and the U-shaped partition seal is placed in the groove by means of interference fit; The front of the housing has sliding grooves on both sides, and the sliding cover has extension strips on both sides. The front of the sliding cover has a protrusion. The sliding cover can be detachably installed on the front of the housing by the extension strips being inserted into the sliding grooves. The U-shaped partition seal is in close contact with the housing.

[0008] In some embodiments, the collection channel is a longitudinal groove that extends vertically from the surface of the housing to the bottom of the housing.

[0009] In some embodiments, the flow collection groove is a serrated groove formed on the surface of the housing and continuously bent downwards.

[0010] In some embodiments, the flow collection channel is a corrugated channel formed on the surface of the housing and continuously bent downwards.

[0011] In some embodiments, an annular temporary storage groove is provided at the outer periphery of the bottom of the housing. The groove body of the annular temporary storage groove is recessed downward from the groove opening, and the collecting groove and the bottom end are connected to the annular temporary storage groove.

[0012] In some embodiments, the groove extends to the bottom of the housing.

[0013] In some embodiments, a cover is also provided on the surface of the housing, the cover being engaged in sliding grooves on both sides, and the cover being fixed to the housing by bolts.

[0014] In some embodiments, the housing is cylindrical, the water inlet of the spray unit is located at the top of the housing, an opening is provided on the front of the top of the housing, and a through-hole is provided on the back of the top of the housing, and the diameter of the water tank is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical housing.

[0015] The present invention has at least the following beneficial effects: This invention, by combining a sliding cover with a U-shaped baffle guide, can effectively address the problem of liquid accumulation near the nozzle caused by spray condensation or residue. When closed, the sliding cover not only prevents dust but also blocks and confines residual liquid around the nozzle. The U-shaped baffle on the back can isolate the accumulated liquid flow and guide it to the collection grooves on both sides of the housing during opening and closing, preventing the liquid from spreading along the panel or seeping into the machine body. In addition, the flow guiding system can further guide the liquid downward along the longitudinal groove, serrated groove or corrugated groove into the bottom annular temporary storage tank, thereby achieving orderly collection and natural evaporation, significantly improving the risk of pollution and corrosion caused by wet retention in the nozzle area, and enhancing the overall cleanliness and safety of use.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a portable vertical atomizer, including a housing 1, a spray unit 2, and a water tank 3. It should be noted that the housing 1 has an upright main structure, which provides support and protection for the internal components, and has a cylindrical design, which is simple and beautiful. The spray unit 2 is set inside the housing 1, and uses an ultrasonic transducer or compression mechanism of existing technology to convert liquid water into fine water mist. In addition, a nozzle communicating with the spray unit 2 is provided on the front of the housing 1, and the water inlet of the spray unit 2 extends to the top of the housing 1. The water tank 3 can be detachably installed at the water inlet of the spray unit 2 on the top of the housing 1 to ensure normal spraying. In addition, flow collection grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the push-pull cover 4 on the front of the housing 1, and a partition-type flow guide 6 is provided on the back of the push-pull cover 4 that contacts the front of the housing 1 and cooperates with the flow collection grooves 5. Among them, the partition-type flow guide 6 includes a U-shaped partition seal 61 that can be detachably installed on the push-pull cover 4, with the opening 10 of the U-shaped partition seal 61 facing downward; Furthermore, a guide channel 62 is provided on one side of the collection channel 5, and the guide channel 62 is located at the position of the U-shaped partition seal 61 when the push-pull cover 4 is in the open and closed states respectively.

[0020] It should be noted that the U-shaped partition seal 61 can be made of soft sealing materials such as rubber or silicone that can achieve a contact seal. When the push-pull cover 4 is open and normal spraying is in use, if a large amount of liquid accumulates at the nozzle position, it will naturally flow downwards under gravity. At this time, the liquid will flow to the position of the U-shaped partition seal 6, and under its guidance, enter the lower guide groove 62 and finally enter the collection groove 5. This collects the residual liquid so that it flows out from a fixed position. Even if not all the liquid flows down into the collection groove 5, or if there is little liquid and no flow, when the push-pull cover 4 is closed, the U-shaped partition seal 61 will still allow the liquid to flow out from the nozzle. The partition seal 61 also scrapes the nozzle area. Under the scraping action, the residual liquid will also be guided into the collection groove 5, thus effectively treating the liquid accumulated at the atomizer nozzle area. This "limits" the liquid that may overflow to the area on one side of the push-pull cover 4 and guides it into the designed guide groove 62 and collection groove 5, completely avoiding the sensitive areas inside the device. Furthermore, the inner walls of the collection groove 5 and the guide groove 62 can be fixed with channels made of metal material, which not only ensures the cleanliness and aesthetics of the atomizer surface, but also further prevents liquid leakage.

[0021] Example 2: Please refer to the appendix Figures 4-6 As shown, the present invention provides a disassembly and assembly scheme for a sliding cover 4 and a U-shaped partition seal 61: a groove 63 matching the U-shaped partition seal 61 is provided on the inner side of the sliding cover 4, and the U-shaped partition seal 61 is placed in the groove 63 by means of interference fit; The front of the housing 1 has grooves 7 on both sides, and the sliding cover 4 has extension strips 72 on both sides. The front of the sliding cover 4 has a protrusion 71. The protrusion 71 is designed to increase the friction of the sliding cover 4 during the sliding process, so as to facilitate the movement and use of the sliding cover 4. In this way, the sliding cover 4 can be slidably installed on the front of the housing 1 by inserting the extension strips 72 into the grooves 7. In this state, the U-shaped partition seal 61 is in close contact with the housing 1. This ensures that the U-shaped partition seal 61 contacts and isolates the longitudinal space of the front of the housing 1, and facilitates its replacement when the sealing performance of the U-shaped partition seal 61 is insufficient. The specific replacement method is to pull out the extension strip 72 of the push-pull cover 4 from the slide groove 7 and take out the U-shaped partition seal 61. The reason why the U-shaped partition seal 61 is installed in the groove 63 with an interference fit is that after it is placed in the groove 63, it will be tightly pressed against the surface of the housing 1 by the push-pull cover 4 during use. In this way, there is no space or possibility for the U-shaped partition seal 61 to detach from the groove 63 during the longitudinal pushing and pulling of the push-pull cover 4. Therefore, the interference fit ensures the stable use of the U-shaped partition seal 61 and makes it as convenient as possible to replace it. Example 3: Please refer to the appendix. Figure 7 As shown, the present invention provides another technical solution for the collection tank 5 that differs from that of Embodiment 1: In this embodiment, the collection tank 5 is a serrated groove that is continuously bent downwards on the surface of the housing 1. With this design, the length of the collection tank 5 can be increased, which can extend the time the liquid stays in the collection tank 5 as much as possible and provide liquid storage capacity. This avoids the liquid from flowing directly from the collection tank 5 onto the ground, tabletop, etc., which would require manual cleaning. The liquid temporarily stored in the collection tank 5 can evaporate naturally. The disadvantage is that the inclined channel is prone to accumulating dust in the liquid, and the collection tank 5 needs to be cleaned regularly to keep it clean.

[0022] Example 4: Please refer to the appendix Figure 8 As shown, the present invention provides another technical solution for the collection tank 5 that differs from that of embodiment 3: the collection tank 5 is a corrugated groove formed on the surface of the housing 1 and continuously bent downwards. The purpose of this design is to further increase the length of the collection tank 5 and provide a smoother channel. In this way, the curved corrugated channel can better or more centrally store the liquid. This is especially effective when the liquid volume is relatively large due to long-term atomization, and can effectively prevent the liquid from falling directly onto the table or the ground due to the limited liquid storage. However, the disadvantage is that the corrugated channel is more prone to dust accumulation, and the cleaning cycle will be more frequent, which is relatively troublesome, but the aesthetics are better.

[0023] Example 5: Please refer to the appendix. Figure 9 As shown, based on the structure of embodiments 1 to 4 of the present invention, the liquid treatment structure located at the bottom of the shell 1 is further optimized. Specifically, an annular temporary storage tank 8 is formed at the bottom of the outer periphery of the shell 1. The cross-section of the tank is a concave shape that extends inward and downward from the opening of the tank, forming a cavity that can stably store a small amount of liquid. In this way, when the equipment operates for a long time and the volume of condensate or overflow liquid is large, the liquid guided to the bottom by the upper collection tank 5 can flow into the annular temporary storage tank 8 for temporary storage and be slowly eliminated by natural evaporation, thereby systematically preventing liquid overflow.

[0024] Example 6: Please refer to the appendix Figure 10As shown, based on embodiments 1-5, the present invention provides another optimized technical solution: the extension range of the slide groove 7 is expanded to the bottom end of the housing 1, thereby forming a complete vertical guide structure on the front of the housing 1. Based on this, a detachable cover 9 is added. The two sides of the cover 9 are precisely positioned with the slide groove 7 extending to the bottom by a snap-fit ​​method, and finally fastened to the housing 1 by bolts. With this design, the push-pull cover 4 can be easily disassembled and assembled. Thus, when the U-shaped partition seal 61 needs to be replaced, the push-pull cover 4 can be easily and non-destructively disassembled and assembled.

[0025] In addition, an opening 10 is provided on the top front of the housing 1, and a through-hole 11 is provided on the top back of the housing 1. The diameter of the water reservoir 3 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical housing 1. The purpose of this design is that when the atomizer is carried or shaken, the inner wall of the housing 1 can provide effective auxiliary support for the water reservoir 3, thereby preventing it from detaching from the interface of the spray unit 2 and ensuring the stable installation and use of the water reservoir 3. The purpose of the opening 10 and the through-hole 11 is to provide gripping force points on both sides of the water reservoir 3, thereby facilitating its rotation and disassembly at the interface of the spray unit 2 and ensuring ease of use.
