Abstract
Description
Technology sector
[0001] The present utility model application concerns the technical field of nebulizers, specifically a modular nebulizer. Technical background
[0002] Portability and ease of use are paramount for nebulizers. Common types include ultrasonic and electric nebulizers. Ultrasonic nebulizers utilize high-frequency ultrasonic vibrations to break water into fine particles; they produce a larger volume of mist, but the nebulized particles are relatively large, potentially making them less suitable for medical applications with stringent particle size requirements. Electric nebulizers, on the other hand, atomize medication liquid using motor-driven components such as fans or pistons; they are more compact, easy to operate, and suitable for home use.
[0003] Existing nebulizers typically feature fixed and integrated connections between components. A separable and combinable connection design is lacking. It's impossible to enhance the product's decorative function by exchanging core decorative elements, resulting in a monotonous user experience. Due to the integrated design, decorative structures are not interchangeable, and the appearance cannot be adapted to different scenarios such as user preferences, festive atmospheres, or interior design styles. This decorative flexibility is insufficient to meet diverse aesthetic and situational requirements. Therefore, we propose a modular nebulizer. Content of the utility model
[0004] The purpose of this utility model application is to provide a modular nebulizer.
[0005] To achieve the aforementioned objective, the following technical solution is provided in the present utility model application: A modular nebulizer comprising: a low-frequency nebulizer base that floats on the water's surface; a storage rack connected to the low-frequency nebulizer base; A decorative element that can be detached from the shelf and can be replaced depending on the usage scenario.
[0006] As a further embodiment of the present utility model application: The storage rack has a disc-shaped structure and is arranged coaxially to the low-frequency nebulizer base, the storage rack serving to support the decorative element and to prevent nebulized water vapor from directly impacting the underside of the decorative element.
[0007] As a further embodiment of the present utility model application: LED lamps are integrated into the low-frequency nebulizer base, which emit colored light and can create an atmospheric lighting mood through the nebulized water vapor.
[0008] As a further embodiment of the present utility model application: The decorative element and the storage rack are detachably connected to each other by means of a snap, plug or magnetic connection.
[0009] By applying the above-mentioned technical solution, the present utility model application has the following advantageous effects compared to the prior art: 1. The present utility model application enables the practical assembly and disassembly of the decorative element on the coaxially arranged, disc-shaped shelf by means of a detachable connection structure in the form of snap fasteners, plug connections, or magnetic attachments. This allows the decorative element to be flexibly exchanged for different styles to suit various usage scenarios. In combination with the colored light emitted by the LEDs integrated into the low-frequency nebulizer base, which creates an atmospheric lighting mood through the atomized water vapor, diverse and aesthetically pleasing visual effects can be generated, ensuring a consistently attractive appearance over the long term.
[0010] Further advantages, objectives and features of the present utility model application are set out to some extent in the following description and will become apparent to some extent to the person skilled in the art from the following examination or can be learned from the practice of the present utility model application.

[0011] 1. Low-frequency nebulizer base, 2. Storage rack, 3. Decorative element Specific details
[0012] The following description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model application is given with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the explanation of these embodiments is intended to aid in understanding the present utility model application, but does not constitute a limitation thereof.
[0013] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present utility model application described below can be combined with each other, provided that they do not conflict with each other.
[0014] With reference to the Fig. 1 to 4 comprise a modular nebulizer of the present utility model application: A low-frequency nebulizer base 1 floating on the water surface, wherein the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 corresponds to the prior art and its core function is to atomize water and generate fine water vapor by means of low-frequency vibrations. The specific atomization principle, the circuit structure, the sealing design, etc., of this low-frequency nebulizer base 1 are all implemented according to existing, mature technology. The present utility model application does not excessively explain its own structure and operation, but protects exclusively its combined connection with the storage rack 2 and the decorative element 3; A storage rack 2 connected to the low-frequency nebulizer base 1. The storage rack 2 and the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 are permanently connected (such as by gluing, threading, or one-piece molding, etc., all of which fall within the scope of protection). Its main structure is preferably disc-shaped. Simultaneously, the dimensions of the storage rack 2 are adapted to the upper contour of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1, and its height is above the plane of the atomizing outlet of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1. When the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 is in operation and generating atomizing vapor, the storage rack 2 can effectively prevent the vapor from striking the underside of the decorative element 3 directly upwards, thus preventing direct erosion of the decorative element 3 by the vapor. It should be expressly clarified that the shape of the storage rack 2 is not limited to disc-shaped.Various shapes, such as rectangular, hexagonal, irregularly polygonal, etc., all of which can fulfill the function of supporting the decorative element 3 and blocking atomized vapor, fall within the scope of protection of the present utility model application. As long as their connection and function with the low-frequency nebulizer sub-assembly 1 correspond to this concept, they are within the scope of protection of the present utility model application.
[0015] A decorative element 3 is detachably attached to shelf 2. The decorative element 3 is a component with a decorative-aesthetic function (the material can be chosen, such as plastic, ceramic, glass, metal, etc.; the style can be designed as needed, for example, as a cartoon shape, flower shape, festive theme shape, etc.). It is detachably attached to shelf 2 by means of a snap-fit, plug-in (plug-in means a connection, specifically a pin and slot fitting), or magnetic fastening (e.g., magnets are embedded in the decorative element 3, and magnetic fasteners are attached to the corresponding positions on shelf 2, or vice versa). All of the aforementioned connection types allow for quick and easy installation and removal of the decorative element 3, and the connection stability can meet the requirements of daily use.Decorative element 3 can be flexibly exchanged according to the user's personal preferences and the usage scenario (such as home decoration, holiday decoration, scenic decoration, etc.). Regardless of how the material, style, or dimensions of decorative element 3 change, as long as it fits and is attached to the shelf 2 in the aforementioned detachable manner, it falls within the scope of protection of this utility model application. The core protection of this utility model application consists of the combined method of connecting decorative element 3 with the shelf 2 and the low-frequency nebulizer base 1, not the structure or style of decorative element 3 itself.
[0016] The shelf 2 has a disc-shaped structure and is arranged coaxially with the low-frequency nebulizer base 1. This coaxial arrangement ensures that the shelf 2 evenly covers the atomization area of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1. The shelf 2 serves to support the decorative element 3 and to prevent atomized water vapor from directly impacting the underside of the decorative element 3.
[0017] Integrated into the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 are LED lamps that emit colored light and create an atmospheric lighting effect through the atomized water vapor. These LED lamps are embedded in the inner or outer area of the top of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1, and a sealing protective structure is attached to the outside of the lamps (to prevent short circuits and damage from contact with water or atomized vapor). The LED lamps can perform functions such as color changing and brightness control via a control circuit built into the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 (the control circuit is state-of-the-art and is not described further).When the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 is in operation and producing atomized vapor, the colored light emitted by the LEDs permeates the spreading vapor, creating a soft, dreamy, atmospheric light. This light and the interchangeable decorative element 3 complement each other, further enhancing the product's decorative and aesthetic appeal. The integrated structure of these LEDs serves only to support the decorative effect. Their position and number are within the protected area, as long as they do not impair the atomization function of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1 or its connection to the stand 2. Mode of action:
[0018] This modular nebulizer achieves decorative atomization through the efficient combination of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1, the stand 2, and the decorative element 3. The entire operating process is straightforward and adaptable to a variety of scenarios. During operation, the low-frequency nebulizer base 1, floating on the water's surface, atomizes water using low-frequency vibrations, generating fine water vapor. The stand 2, positioned coaxially with the low-frequency nebulizer base 1, ensures even coverage of the atomization area. It not only provides stable support for the decorative element 3 but also prevents direct contact of the atomized vapor with the underside of the decorative element 3, thus preventing damage from vapor exposure.Decorative element 3 is attached to the shelf 2 via a snap-fit, plug-in, or magnetic connection and can be flexibly replaced by the user as needed. The aesthetic effect is enhanced when combined with the LED lights integrated into the low-frequency nebulizer base 1. The LED lights are recessed into the inner or outer edge of the top of the low-frequency nebulizer base 1; a sealing protective structure insulates them from vapor and prevents short circuits. Color changes and brightness control are achieved via an integrated control circuit. The light penetrates the spreading vapor and creates an atmospheric lighting effect that is further emphasized by decorative element 3.All components work together and, through the core combined connection method, create a unity of flexible decoration and atomizing light effects to adapt to the requirements of various usage scenarios. This completes the entire workflow.
