[0012] The present invention provides a humidifier, which mainly atomizes water and releases it into dry air to achieve the effect of rising mist in the dry air and providing humidity.

[0013] 1 to 4, in one embodiment, the humidifier includes an atomizing device 1, a base 2, a water tank 3, a main unit 4, and a spray head 5. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG.

[0014] Specifically, the water tank 3 has a storage chamber 30 for storing the liquid to be atomized. The atomizing device 1 is stored in the storage chamber 30. A first part of the atomizing device 1 extends into the liquid to suck up the liquid and perform the atomizing operation, and a second part of the atomizing device 1 floats on the surface of the liquid so that the generated mist can be discharged from the surface of the liquid. The base 2 is removably attached to the bottom of the water tank 3. The main machine 4 is fixedly attached to one side of the water tank 3 away from the base 2, and the atomizing device 1 is electrically connected to the main machine 4 by a connecting wire 6. The main machine 4 is provided with a power supply port 40, which may be directly connected to a commercial power source by an external lead wire or connected to a commercial power source via a converter. The main machine 4 is provided with an atomizing passage 41, and the spray head 5 is attached to one side of the main machine 4 away from the water tank 3. The spray head 5 communicates with the accommodation chamber 30 via the atomization passage 41, and the mist generated by the operation of the atomization device 1 enters the spray head 5 via the atomization passage 41 and is discharged from the spray head 5 into the air.

[0015] In this embodiment, the water tank 3 and the main machine 4 are both cylindrical, and the radial dimension of the water tank 3 is the same as that of the main machine 4, thereby improving the appearance and unity of the water tank 3 and the main machine 4 after they are installed. The base 2 is disc-shaped, and the radial dimension of the base 2 is larger than that of the water tank 3, so that when the humidifier is placed on the support, the contact area between the base 2 and the support surface is larger and the stability of the support by the base is improved.

[0016] 1 to 4, in one embodiment, the spray head 5 includes a cover body 51 and a nozzle 52. The cover body 51 is removably attached to an end of the main engine 4 remote from the water tank 3, and closes the outlet end of the atomization passage 41. The nozzle 52 is attached by inserting into the end of the cover body 51 remote from the main engine 4. The nozzle 52 has a spray passage 520 that communicates with the atomization passage 41 through the cover body 51.

[0017] In one embodiment, a handle 7 is provided on the outer wall of the water tank 3 to facilitate insertion, removal or movement of the humidifier. In this embodiment, the handle 7 is a case having a receiving groove 70. An attachment hole is provided on the side wall of the water tank 3, a first end of the handle 7 is sealed and fixed to the side wall of the water tank 3, and a second end of the handle 7 extends into the receiving chamber 30. Insert your fingers into the receiving groove 70 to lift the humidifier.

[0018] The atomization device 1 in this embodiment is used to solve the problem that in the conventional floating type atomizer, the distance between the atomization structure and the floating structure is relatively close, and the center of gravity is not reasonably installed, so that the atomizer is easily overturned when adding water, which affects the normal operation of the atomizer and affects the user's usage experience.

[0019] 5 to 10, in one embodiment, the atomization device 1 includes a floating member 100, a connecting member 200, and an atomizer 300. Specifically, the connecting member 200 is connected to the bottom of the floating member 100, and the size of the floating member 100 is larger than that of the connecting member 200. The outer periphery of the floating member 100 is a circular ring 110 having a hollow cavity, which provides buoyancy to the floating member 100. A cavity is provided inside the connecting member 200, and a mounting groove 210 is provided on the lower side of the cavity. The mounting groove 210 is used to accommodate the atomizer 300. A reinforcing groove 220 with an opening facing the bottom is provided on both sides of the connecting member 200, and the reinforcing groove 220 communicates with the cavity. The mist emission port of the atomizer 300 communicates with the cavity, and the cavity communicates with the floating member 100, thereby emitting mist.

[0020] Specifically, the outer circumference of the floating member 100 is a ring 110 having a hollow cavity, the dimension of the ring 110 is larger than the dimension of the connecting member 200, and the ring 110 has sufficient buoyancy. At the same time, the thickness of the ring 110 is smaller than the overall thickness of the connecting member 200. The atomizer 300 is attached to the bottom of the connecting member 200, which effectively lowers the center of gravity of the atomization device 1, and when the atomization device 1 is placed in the liquid, its center of gravity is placed below the liquid level, thereby improving the stability of the atomization device 1 floating in the liquid and reducing the risk of the atomization device 1 tipping over.

[0021] In this embodiment, the inner diameter of the annular ring 110 and the outer diameter of the connecting member 200 are approximately the same. The bottom of the floating member 100 is connected to the connecting member 200. One side close to the top of the inner cavity of the connecting member 200 is hollow, which allows the mist generated by the atomizer 300 to be easily discharged. The mounting groove 210 provided at the bottom of the connecting member 200 is used to place the atomizer 300. The opening of the mounting groove 210 is located on the side wall of the connecting member 200, so that the atomizer 300 can be directly placed in the mounting groove 210, making it easy to install the atomizer 300.

[0022] In addition, the mounting groove 210 and the cavity are connected to each other. When the atomizer 300 is in operation, mist is generated in the cavity and discharged onto the water surface through the floating member 100. On both sides of the connecting member 200, a reinforcing groove 220 is further provided, the bottom of which is open and connected to the cavity. There is a cavity between the mounting groove 210 and the floating member 100, the cavity has a certain height, and the atomizer 300 has a certain weight, so that the center of gravity of the entire atomization device 1 is relatively low and is reinforced by the reinforcing groove 220. When water is added, the water can flow into the cavity through the reinforcing groove 220, and the flow speed of the water inside the connecting member 200 is fast. Due to the buoyancy of the floating member 100, the entire device is not easily turned over and can maintain a stable floating state.

[0023] In one embodiment, the connection member 200 includes an upper cover 230 and a lower case 240. The upper cover 230 is rotatably engaged with the lower case 240. An L-shaped engagement groove 241 is provided on the outer wall of the lower case 240, and an engagement block 231 is provided on the inner wall of the upper cover 230. When the upper cover 230 is attached to the lower case 240, the engagement block 231 is engaged in the engagement groove 241. After the engagement block 231 provided on the inner wall of the upper cover 230 rotates, it is engaged with the engagement groove 241, and the upper cover 230 is detachably engaged with the lower case 240. The upper cover 230 is detachably connected to the lower case 240, which makes it easy to clean the cavity of the connection member 200.

[0024] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the top cover 230 is provided with a groove around the periphery, so that the frictional force of the outer wall is relatively large when rotating, making it easy to operate. In another embodiment, the frictional force of the outer wall of the top cover 230 can be improved by providing dots or ridges on the outer wall of the top cover 230, gluing a rubber strip on the outer wall, etc.

[0025] In one embodiment, a communication groove 242 is recessed in the top of lower case 240, and upper cover 230 is fitted to communication groove 242 to form the cavity. Mounting groove 210 is provided below communication groove 242, and a plurality of first communication holes 2421 communicating with mounting groove 210 are provided at the bottom of communication groove 242. A separator is provided inside lower case 240, and communication groove 242 is formed in a portion near the upper side of lower case 240, and mounting groove 210 is formed in a portion below. The opening of the mounting groove 210 is located on the side wall of the connecting member 200, and the first communication hole 2421 is located at the bottom of the communication groove 242, so that the mounting groove 210 and the communication groove 242 are connected to each other. After the water enters the mounting groove 210, it enters the cavity through the first communication hole 2421. The water flows quickly inside the connecting member 200, and when the amount of water changes, the atomization device 1 can maintain a relatively stable floating state.

[0026] 7, in one embodiment, the center of the floating member 100 is a connecting plate 120, and the connecting plate 120 and the top cover 230 are connected and fixed by screws. Specifically, the connecting plate 120 is formed by extending from the inner circumference of the ring 110 to the center, and a threaded post is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 120, and the position corresponding to the top cover 230 is connected and fixed by screws or studs, which is simple to connect and easy to detach.

[0027] In one embodiment, a first mist emission hole 2422 is provided in the center of the communicating groove 242, and a second mist emission hole 232 is provided in the center of the upper cover 230, and both the first mist emission hole 2422 and the second mist emission hole 232 are connected to the center of the connecting plate 120.

[0028] The positions of the first mist emission hole 2422 and the second mist emission hole 232 correspond to each other. The first mist emission hole 2422 communicates with the mounting groove 210 and the communication groove 242, and corresponds to the atomizer 300 attached to the mounting groove 210. The second mist emission hole 232 is located at the top of the upper cover 230, and is larger in size than the first mist emission hole 2422. The center of the second mist emission hole 232 is a circular hole, and a plurality of arc-shaped holes surrounding the circular hole are provided on the outer periphery. When the atomizer 300 is in operation, the mist is emitted onto the water surface through the second mist emission hole 232, ensuring a sufficient amount of mist emission. The entire structure is simple and easy to process.

[0029] 9, in one embodiment, the reinforcing groove 220 is arc-shaped and located on both sides of the mounting groove 210. The reinforcing groove 220 is provided with a second communication hole 221 to communicate with the cavity. The height of the reinforcing groove 220 corresponds to the height of the mounting groove 210, and the reinforcing groove 220 is located on both sides of the outer wall of the mounting groove 210, the bottom of the reinforcing groove 220 is in communication, and the top of the reinforcing groove 220 is provided with a second communication hole 221 to communicate with the cavity. When the connecting member 200 is placed in water, the water can be discharged into the cavity through the second communication hole 221, which increases the amount of water entering the cavity, and the provision of the reinforcing groove 220 can further enhance the horizontal stability of the connecting member 200.

[0030] 10, in one embodiment, one side of the mounting groove 210 is a groove opening for disposing the atomizer 300, and the other side is provided with a plurality of third communication holes 211. The mounting groove 210 is a square groove, which matches the shape of the atomizer 300, and the groove opening faces the third communication hole 211, so that the water flow can enter the mounting groove 210 through two directions, and the speed of the water flowing inside the connecting member 200 is relatively fast, and the cavity has a sufficient amount of water.

[0031] As can be seen from the above description, the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0032] (1) The outer circumference of the floating member 100 is a ring 110 having a hollow cavity, the dimension of the ring 110 is larger than the dimension of the connecting member 200, and the ring 110 has sufficient buoyancy. At the same time, the thickness of the ring 110 is smaller than the overall thickness of the connecting member 200. The atomizer 300 is attached to the bottom of the connecting member 200, which effectively lowers the center of gravity of the atomization device 1. When the atomization device 1 is placed in liquid, its center of gravity is placed below the liquid level, thereby improving the stability of the atomization device 1 floating in the liquid and reducing the risk of the atomization device 1 tipping over.

[0033] (2) By providing the reinforcing groove 220, when water is added to the atomization device 1, the water can flow into the cavity through the reinforcing groove 220, the water flows quickly through the connecting member 200, and the buoyancy of the floating member 100 makes it difficult for the entire device to flip over, and the device can maintain a stable floating state.

[0034] (3) After the engagement block 231 provided on the inner wall of the upper cover 230 rotates, it is engaged with the engagement groove 241, and the upper cover 230 is removably engaged with the lower case 240. The upper cover 230 is removably connected to the lower case 240, and the cavity of the connection member 200 is easy to clean.

[0035] (4) The opening of the mounting groove 210 is located on the side wall of the connecting member 200, and the first communication hole 2421 is located at the bottom of the communication groove 242, so that the mounting groove 210 and the communication groove 242 are connected to each other. After the water enters the mounting groove 210, it enters the cavity through the first communication hole 2421. The water flows quickly inside the connecting member 200, and when the amount of water changes, the atomization device 1 can maintain a relatively stable floating state.

[0036] The above is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and changes.
