Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of home appliance technology, and more specifically to a rapid humidification device.

Background Art

[0002] Currently, humidification devices are widely applied in home and office environments, mainly used to adjust the humidity of the air to improve comfort. The mainstream types of humidifiers in the market include spray type, vaporization type, and heating type. The spray type humidifier depends on ultrasonic vibration to atomize water, but it is easy to generate mineral dust and affects air quality. The vaporization type humidifier promotes the evaporation of moisture through a humidification filter and a fan, but its humidification efficiency is limited by the temperature and humidity of the environment, and the operating noise is relatively large. The heating type humidifier uses an electric heating element to directly heat water to generate steam, which can provide steam without impurities. However, the heating process is slow, and it takes a long time to reach an effective humidification state after the device is started, and it cannot meet the needs of users for immediate humidity increase. Therefore, it not only reduces the practicality of the device but also limits its applicability in fast-paced life scenes.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this application is to provide a rapid humidification device that has the advantage of significantly shortening the heating time and realizing an immediate humidification effect.

[0004] This application provides a rapid humidification device according to the following technical solutions.

[0005] An outer shell and an inner shell, wherein the inner shell is fixed to the center of the outer shell, a hydrothermal tank is formed inside the inner shell, a chilling tank is formed in the region inside the outer shell surrounding the inner shell, an air intake port is opened at the top of the inner shell, a flow port is opened on a part of the surface of the bottom of the inner shell, and a unidirectional flap is movably connected to the flow port. It includes a heating structure that is in close contact with the bottom of the inner shell in order to heat the liquid inside the hot water bath.

[0006] Furthermore, this application proposes that the inner shell has a movable chamber in the region corresponding to the flow opening, and that the unidirectional flap is disposed within the movable chamber and is movable within the movable chamber.

[0007] Furthermore, this application proposes that the central region of the bottom of the outer shell is recessed to form a mounting groove, the bottom of the inner shell is locked into the mounting groove, and the heating structure is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, this application proposes that an insulating pad be provided at the connection point between the heating structure and the mounting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, this application proposes the further provision of a base, the base being connected to the bottom of the outer shell, and the heating structure being fixed within the base.

[0010] Furthermore, this application proposes that a top cover is further connected to the tops of the outer and inner shells, and that a sealing ring is further provided at the connection point between the top cover and the inner shell. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] As can be seen from the above, the rapid humidifier provided in this application directly heats the hot water tank and, by combining this with the design of a cold water tank and a unidirectional flap, achieves rapid steam generation and highly efficient heat exchange. This solves the problem of slow heating in conventional heated humidifiers, significantly shortens the heating time, and improves humidification efficiency. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only a few embodiments of the present invention, and those skilled in the art can obtain other drawings based on the structures shown in these drawings without expending any creative effort. [Figure 1] This is a cross-sectional view of a rapid humidifier according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is an exploded view of a rapid humidifier according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0013] The realization of the objectives, functional features, and advantages of this invention will be described in more detail in combination with the examples and with reference to the drawings.

[0014] To clarify the purpose, technical proposal, and advantages of this application, the application will be described in more detail below, accompanied by drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for interpretive purposes only and not to limit this application.

[0015] Conventional heated humidifiers have the problem of slow heating speed during humidification, resulting in low humidification efficiency, and users having to frequently refill water to maintain continuous humidification.

[0016] In contrast, with reference to Figures 1 and 2, this application proposes a rapid humidification device. The device is provided with an outer shell 1 and an inner shell 2, thereby dividing the internal space into a hot water tank 21 for concentrated heating and a cold water tank 11 for cold water storage. Here, the heating structure 5 is arranged to heat only the liquid in the hot water tank 21, and controlled replenishment of cold water is achieved through the flow port 3 and the one-way flap 4, thereby effectively solving the problems of slow heating and frequent water replenishment in the prior art.

[0017] To facilitate understanding, some important terms used in this embodiment are explained below.

[0018] The outer shell 1 and inner shell 2 together constitute the main structure of the rapid humidification device and are used to define different functional areas inside the device. The hot water tank 21 is formed inside the inner shell 2 and is an area for intensively heating liquid in the device, aiming to achieve a rapid temperature rise. The chilled water tank 11 is formed inside the outer shell 1 and in the area surrounding the inner shell 2, and is used to store a large amount of liquid to be heated as a replenishment water source for the hot water tank 21. The air outlet 22 opens at the top of the inner shell 2 and is used to discharge steam generated in the hot water tank 21 into the outside environment to realize the humidification function. The flow port 3 opens on a part of the surface of the bottom of the inner shell 2 and serves as a connecting passage between the chilled water tank 11 and the hot water tank 21, allowing liquid to pass through under specific conditions. The one-way flap 4 is movably connected to the flow port 3 and is positioned to allow only the flow of liquid from the chilled water tank 11 to the hot water tank 21, while preventing the liquid in the hot water tank 21 from flowing back into the chilled water tank 11. The heating structure 5 is provided in close contact with the bottom of the inner shell 2 and is used to supply heat to the liquid in the hot water tank 21 and bring it to a boiling state.

[0019] Specifically, the structure of this rapid humidification device includes the following aspects:

[0020] A housing 1 and an inner shell 2 are provided, where the inner shell 2 is fixed at the internal central position of the housing 1. The internal space of the inner shell 2 is defined as a hot water tank 21 for containing the liquid to be heated. The region in the internal space of the housing 1 that surrounds the inner shell 2 is defined as a cold water tank 11 for storing a large amount of cold water as a supplementary water source. The inner shell 2 can be fixed inside the housing 1 by adopting a plurality of methods such as connection by mechanical fasteners or positioning support by structural members. The shape of the inner shell 2 can be selected as a cylindrical shape or a prismatic shape according to design requirements, thereby optimizing the volume and heating efficiency of the hot water tank 21. Referring to FIG. 1, in this embodiment, the inside of the inner shell is also of a two-layer structure, having a hot water tank for containing hot water and a hollow intermediate layer surrounding the hot water tank. The intermediate layer can effectively block heat and inhibit heat conduction between the cold water tank and the hot water tank, whereby the water in the hot water tank is heated faster, and time and energy can be further saved.

[0021] An air guide port 22 opens at the top of the inner shell 2. The air guide port 22 may be one or more openings, and its position and dimensions are designed to allow the steam generated in the hot water tank 21 to be discharged smoothly, thereby realizing a humidifying function. For example, the air guide port 22 may be a circular hole located at the top of the inner shell 2, and its diameter is set to ensure effective diffusion of the steam.

[0022] A flow port 3 opens on a part of the surface at the bottom of the inner shell 2, and a one-way flap 4 is movably connected to the flow port 3. The flow port 3 serves as a connection passage between the cold water tank 11 and the hot water tank 21, allowing cold water to flow into the hot water tank 21 under specific conditions. The one-way flap 4 is arranged to operate according to the water pressure difference between the cold water tank 11 and the hot water tank 21, thereby realizing one-way replenishment of cold water and at the same time preventing backflow of hot water. For example, the one-way flap 4 may be a simple elastic thin sheet, one end of which is fixed to the edge of the flow port 3. When the water level in the cold water tank 11 is higher than that in the hot water tank 21, the thin sheet is curved by the water pressure difference to allow the passage of cold water.

[0023] The heating structure 5 is provided in close contact with the bottom of the inner shell 2 and is used to heat the liquid in the hot water tank 21. The heating structure 5 can adopt multiple forms, such as an electric heating film or an electric heating wire assembly, and is designed to be in close contact with the outer surface of the bottom of the inner shell 2 to maximize the heat transfer efficiency. By this close contact method, it is ensured that the heat quantity is directly and efficiently transferred to a small amount of liquid in the hot water tank 21, and a rapid temperature rise is achieved.

[0024] As described above, this rapid humidifying device effectively separates the heating area (hot water tank 21) and the cold water storage area (cold water tank 11), and by intensively heating only the liquid in the small-volume hot water tank 21 with the heating structure 5, the heating rate of the liquid is significantly improved. At the same time, due to the cooperative action of the circulation port 3 and the one-way flap 4, a gentle and controlled replenishment of cold water to the hot water tank 21 is realized, ensuring that the liquid in the hot water tank 21 can maintain a boiling state for a long time, thereby effectively solving the problems of slow heating and low humidifying efficiency in the conventional heating-type humidifying device and significantly reducing the water replenishment frequency of the user.

[0025] In some of the above-mentioned solutions of this application, it has been proposed to provide a one-way flap 4 to prevent the backflow of hot water and allow cold water to flow gently into the hot water tank 21. However, in the process of its realization, the one-way flap 4 lacks a dedicated accommodation space to ensure smooth movement and effective sealing, and as a result, there is a possibility of causing leakage and malfunction.

[0026] In response to this, this application further proposes that the inner shell 2 is provided with a movable chamber 31 in the region corresponding to the circulation port 3, the one-way flap 4 is disposed in the movable chamber 31, and is movable within the movable chamber 31.

[0027] Specifically, the inner shell 2 is provided with a movable chamber 31 in the region corresponding to the flow port 3. The movable chamber 31 provides a specific space within the inner shell 2 for housing and guiding the unidirectional flap 4, and its position corresponds to the flow port 3 at the bottom of the inner shell 2. The movable chamber 31 can be designed as a groove or passage that conforms to the shape of the flow port 3. For example, if the flow port 3 is circular, the movable chamber 31 can be a cylindrical or conical chamber so that the unidirectional flap 4 can move smoothly within it. Alternatively, the movable chamber 31 may be a structure having a specific geometric shape formed on the wall surface of the inner shell 2 by integral molding with a mold or post-processing, and its dimensions may be slightly larger than the unidirectional flap 4, allowing the flap to move freely within it.

[0028] The unidirectional flap 4 is disposed within the movable chamber 31. This means that the unidirectional flap 4 is placed within the specially designed movable chamber 31 described above, and is capable of sliding or oscillating along the inner wall of the movable chamber 31 when subjected to force, thereby enabling the opening and closing of the flow port 3. The unidirectional flap 4 is simply disposed within the movable chamber 31 and maintains its initial position at the bottom or side wall of the movable chamber 31 by gravity or hydraulic pressure. Alternatively, the unidirectional flap 4 can be fitted with the movable chamber 31 via a stopper structure (e.g., a projection, a groove) to ensure initial positioning and range of motion within the movable chamber 31.

[0029] The unidirectional flap 4 is movable within the movable chamber 31. This feature allows the unidirectional flap 4 to open and close the flow port 3 under the constraint of the movable chamber 31 in response to changes in the water pressure difference between the chilled water tank 11 and the hot water tank 21, thereby realizing the function of a check valve. For example, the unidirectional flap 4 can be designed to float, and if the water pressure in the chilled water tank 11 inside the outer shell 1 is higher than that in the hot water tank 21 inside the inner shell 2, the unidirectional flap 4 is pushed open by the water pressure and moves upward or sideways, allowing chilled water to flow into the hot water tank 21. If the water pressure in the hot water tank 21 is higher than that in the chilled water tank 11, the unidirectional flap 4 returns to its original position due to the action of the water pressure, closing the flow port 3. Furthermore, the unidirectional flap 4 can also be designed to be hinged or pivotal, fixed via a single pivot point within the movable chamber 31, and swinging around the pivot point under the action of water pressure to open and close the flow port 3.

[0030] According to the above-described technical proposal, in the rapid humidification device, the inner shell 2 is provided with a movable chamber 31 in the region corresponding to the flow port 3, and the unidirectional flap 4 is arranged within the movable chamber 31 and made movable therein, thereby optimizing the movement mechanism of the unidirectional flap 4. The movable chamber 31 provides a clear trajectory and constraint for the unidirectional flap 4, effectively avoiding offset, snagging, or irregular oscillation that may occur when the unidirectional flap 4 is unrestrained, and ensuring smooth opening and closing of the flow port 3. When the water level in the chilled water tank 11 is higher than that of the hot water tank 21, the unidirectional flap 4 is reliably pushed open by the action of water pressure, allowing chilled water to be slowly and steadily supplied to the hot water tank 21. On the other hand, when the water pressure in the hot water tank 21 rises, the unidirectional flap 4 quickly returns to its original position, effectively preventing hot water from flowing back into the chilled water tank 11. This design significantly improves the sealing and operational reliability of the unidirectional flap 4, reduces the risk of leakage due to the unstable position of the flap, and further ensures stable operation and high-efficiency humidification performance of the rapid humidifier.

[0031] In some of the above-mentioned solutions in this application, it has been proposed that the heating structure 5 is provided in close contact with the bottom of the inner shell 2 in order to heat the liquid in the hot water bath 21. However, in this process, the inner shell 2 lacks a stable fixing mechanism, making installation inconvenient and potentially causing instability and heat loss in the device.

[0032] In contrast, this application proposes a rapid humidification device in which the central region of the bottom of the outer shell 1 is recessed to form a mounting groove 12, the bottom of the inner shell 2 is locked into the mounting groove 12, and the heating structure 5 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 12.

[0033] Specifically, the central bottom region of the outer shell 1 is recessed to form a mounting groove 12. This mounting groove 12 is a recessed structure specifically designed for the bottom of the outer shell 1, and its shape and dimensions are adapted to the bottom of the inner shell 2 and the heating structure 5, with the aim of providing accurate positioning and support space for these components. The mounting groove 12 is integrally formed with the bottom of the outer shell 1 through processes such as injection molding, press molding, or casting, ensuring its structural strength and dimensional accuracy. Alternatively, it can be formed by welding, riveting, or bonding a pre-formed groove-shaped component to the central bottom region of the outer shell 1, a method suitable for combinations of different materials or complex shapes. By providing the mounting groove 12, a predetermined stable mounting position is provided for the inner shell 2 and the heating structure 5, forming the basis for subsequent locking and connection.

[0034] The locking of the bottom of the inner shell 2 within the mounting groove 12 means that the bottom of the inner shell 2 mechanically engages with the corresponding structural features of the mounting groove 12 through its structural features, thereby achieving a robust connection method that is removable. For example, a flange, snap, or stopper block can be designed on the bottom of the inner shell 2 and engaged with a recessed groove, snap groove, or stopper surface inside the mounting groove 12, enabling locking and fixing by simple pushing or rotation. Alternatively, an elastic locking method can be employed, for example, the bottom of the inner shell 2 having an elastic arm, which deforms under pressure when inserted into the mounting groove 12, and then elastically recovers and engages after reaching a predetermined position, thereby achieving a robust connection. Such a locking method ensures that the inner shell 2 does not experience displacement or vibration during the operation of the device, providing structural stability.

[0035] Connecting the heating structure 5 to the bottom of the mounting groove 12 means that the heating structure 5 establishes a physical fixing relationship with the bottom of the mounting groove 12, ensuring that the heating structure 5 can stably heat the inner shell 2. For example, the heating structure 5 can be directly fixed to the outside of the bottom of the mounting groove 12 by means of screws, rivets, or welding, ensuring a tight fit. Alternatively, the heating structure 5 can be fixed to the bottom of the mounting groove 12 by mechanical fasteners such as snaps, clamps, or pressure plates to facilitate maintenance and replacement. This connection method ensures that the heating structure 5 can stably and efficiently transfer heat to the hot water tank 21 at the bottom of the inner shell 2, while simultaneously avoiding heat loss due to connection instability.

[0036] The above-described technical proposal provides a precisely predetermined mounting position for the inner shell 2 and heating structure 5 by designing a recessed mounting groove 12 in the central bottom region of the outer shell 1. The bottom of the inner shell 2 is firmly fixed within the mounting groove 12 by locking, effectively resolving the problem of displacement and vibration that may occur during the operation of the device and improving the overall stability of the device. At the same time, by connecting the heating structure 5 to the bottom of the mounting groove 12, a tight fit between the heating structure 5 and the bottom of the inner shell 2 is ensured, reducing heat loss in the heat transfer process, allowing the heating structure 5 to transfer thermal energy to the liquid in the hot water bath 21 with higher efficiency, and accelerating the liquid heating process. Such a structural design not only simplifies the assembly process of the device and improves the convenience of installation, but also effectively avoids heat loss due to fixing instability by providing solid support and an optimized heat transfer path, further improving the heating efficiency and operational reliability of the humidifier.

[0037] In some embodiments of this application described above, it was proposed that the heating structure 5 is connected to the bottom of the mounting groove 12 to heat the liquid in the hot water bath 21. However, in this process, heat was transferred to the outer shell 1 through the connection point, which could lead to a decrease in thermal efficiency and potential safety risks.

[0038] In response to this, the present application further proposes that an insulating pad 13 be provided at the connection point between the heating structure 5 and the mounting groove 12. The insulating pad 13 is made of a material or structure with low thermal conductivity, and its main function is to block or significantly delay heat transfer. Specifically, the insulating pad 13 can be made of a high-temperature resistant and low-thermal-conductivity material such as a silicone pad or a ceramic fiber pad, and is provided at the connection interface between the heating structure 5 and the mounting groove 12 by direct contact to form an effective thermal barrier. Alternatively, the insulating pad 13 can be designed as a multilayer composite structure including an air layer or a vacuum layer to further improve its insulating performance and ensure that the amount of heat is limited as much as possible to the heating structure 5 and its direct area of ​​action.

[0039] The above-described technical proposal significantly increases the heat conduction resistance from the heating structure 5 to the mounting groove 12 and the outer shell 1 by providing an insulating pad 13 at the connection point between the heating structure 5 and the mounting groove 12. This effectively concentrates the heat generated by the heating structure 5 on heating the liquid in the hot water tank 21, greatly improving the overall heating efficiency of the rapid humidification device. At the same time, the presence of the insulating pad 13 effectively prevents overheating of localized areas of the outer shell 1 due to heat conduction, improving the operational safety of the device and the user experience. Furthermore, by reducing heat dissipation to the outer shell 1, it helps to relatively stabilize the chilled water temperature in the chilled water tank 11 and slow down the rise in chilled water temperature. This is extremely important for maintaining the temperature difference between chilled water and hot water, and also works favorably for the operating mechanism of the unidirectional flap 4, ensuring that chilled water is continuously and stably replenished to the hot water tank 21, thereby maintaining continuous boiling of the water in the hot water tank 21 and achieving highly efficient humidification.

[0040] In some of the above-mentioned solutions of this application, the heating structure 5 is provided in close contact with the bottom of the inner shell 2 in order to heat the liquid in the hot water bath 21. However, in this process, the outer shell 1 and the heating structure 5 do not have independent support and fixing structures, which could lead to unstable mounting, reduced heat transfer efficiency, or insufficient stability of the entire apparatus.

[0041] In contrast, this application further proposes that the rapid humidifier further comprises a base 6, the base 6 being connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1, and the heating structure 5 being fixed within the base 6. Here, the base 6 refers to a structural component for supporting and stabilizing the entire rapid humidifier, and its main function is to provide a solid base to ensure stability and safety during operation of the device. The base 6 can be realized using multiple materials and structural forms, for example, being integrally molded from high-strength plastic, constructed by pressing and welding metal sheets, or made from composite materials, thereby meeting different strength, corrosion resistance, and cost requirements. The base 6 is connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1, and its purpose is to firmly connect the main structure of the rapid humidifier (i.e., the outer shell 1) and the base 6, forming a stable, integrated structure. This connection method ensures that tipping or shaking does not occur during installation and use of the device. Specific connection methods include, but are not limited to, mechanical fastening with screws, quick assembly and disassembly using snap structures, permanent connection with adhesive, or welding of the base 6 to the bottom of the outer shell 1 by methods such as ultrasonic welding. The heating structure 5 is fixed within the base 6 for the purpose of ensuring the precise position and solidity of the heating element within the device and preventing displacement or loosening during use. This is crucial for guaranteeing heating efficiency, extending the service life of the heating structure 5, and avoiding hidden safety hazards. The fixing method can be varied; for example, the heating structure 5 can be fitted or mounted inside the base 6 using dedicated snap grooves or brackets, directly fixed to the base 6 with screws, or sealed within a pre-prepared chamber of the base 6 using a material such as potting material to provide additional protection and insulation.

[0042] As described above, the base 6 provides an independent and stable support base for the entire rapid humidifier. The firm connection between the base 6 and the bottom of the outer shell 1 significantly enhances the overall structural rigidity and stability of the device, effectively preventing problems such as shaking or tipping that may occur during use. At the same time, by firmly fixing the heating structure 5 inside the base 6, the precise positioning of the heating element and stable thermal contact or close heat transfer with the hot water bath 21 at the bottom of the inner shell 2 are ensured, greatly improving the efficiency and uniformity of heat transfer. This fixing method not only prevents displacement of the heating structure 5 due to vibration or operation, ensuring the reliability of the heating process, but also extends the service life of the heating structure 5 and improves the overall safety of the device. Therefore, by introducing the base 6 and optimizing the fixing method of the heating structure 5, this application effectively solves the problems of mounting instability, reduced heat transfer efficiency, and insufficient overall stability of the device caused by the lack of independent support between the outer shell 1 and the heating structure 5 in the prior art, enabling the rapid humidifier to operate more stably and efficiently, and to continuously provide a rapid humidification effect.

[0043] In some embodiments of this application described above, a basic structure for a rapid humidifier was proposed, but steam leakage in the top region could occur, potentially leading to reduced humidification efficiency and a risk of water leakage.

[0044] In contrast, this application further proposes that a top cover 7 is further connected to the tops of the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2, and that a seal ring 71 is further provided at the connection point between the top cover 7 and the inner shell 2.

[0045] Specifically, the top cover 7 is an assembly for covering and sealing the top opening of the outer shell 1. The top cover 7 can be connected to the tops of the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 in multiple ways. For example, it can be fixed by a screw mechanism so that the top cover 7 fits tightly with the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2. Alternatively, it can be connected by a snap or latch to enable quick attachment and removal, allowing the user to easily perform water replenishment and cleaning. The design of the top cover 7 aims to effectively isolate the inside of the device from the external environment, prevent internal vapors from escaping, and protect the internal assembly from external contamination.

[0046] The seal ring 71 is an elastic or compressible annular member and is provided at the connection interface between the upper lid 7 and the inner shell 2. The seal ring 71 can be made from one of several materials, such as silicone rubber, nitrile rubber, or other elastic materials with excellent heat resistance and sealing performance. The mounting method involves embedding the seal ring 71 in a groove pre-formed on the top edge of the upper lid 7 or the inner shell 2. When the upper lid 7 is connected to the inner shell 2, the seal ring 71 is compressed, thereby forming a tight barrier at the connection interface. In addition to the embedded mounting method, the seal ring 71 can also be fixed to the connection surface by adhesive or pressure molding.

[0047] With the above-described technical proposal, the top cover 7 can effectively cover the top of the outer shell 1, forming a sealed internal space. At the same time, by providing the seal ring 71 at the connection point between the top cover 7 and the inner shell 2, the sealing performance of the connection area can be further enhanced. This effectively prevents steam generated in the hot water bath 21 from leaking through the gap at the top, and prevents condensed water from seeping into the outside of the inner shell 2 or the chilled water bath 11, thereby reducing potential electrical safety hazards. Furthermore, it maintains the steam pressure and temperature inside the hot water bath 21, ensuring the stability and efficiency of the humidification process. In addition, good sealing prevents external dust and impurities from entering the inside of the device, helping to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the water used for humidification.

[0048] Due to the structure and operating principle described above, the rapid humidifier can achieve rapid heating and continuous humidification, and at the same time, the cold water tank 11 functions as a large-capacity water storage space, effectively reducing the frequency with which the user has to refill water, thus solving the problems of slow heating and frequent water refills that are common in conventional heated humidifiers.
