Integrated Heater Humidification Using Cotton Rod Atomization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing heaters with humidifying devices do not effectively provide fresh, non-dry warm air due to inefficient humidification and lack of integrated air purification, leading to dry skin and other health issues related to low humidity.
Innovation Solution
A heater combining a heating device, air purifying device, and humidifying device, where water is sent through a cotton rod to an atomization plate to generate atomized particles, which are then mixed with purified air for output, along with a touch control panel for easy operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a simple water container with electric heating tube is used for humidification, then the structure is simple, but the humidification effect is not perfect
Solution Approach 1:
The humidifying device is divided into multiple functional components: water container, cotton rod, atomization plate, hollow pipe, and fog output box. Each component performs a specific function in the humidification process, improving the overall effectiveness while maintaining reasonable simplicity.
Solution Approach 2:
The cotton rod acts as an intermediary between the water container and the atomization plate, transporting water to the atomization plate. The hollow pipe serves as an intermediary to transport atomized particles from the atomization plate to the fog output box, enabling efficient humidification.
2Device complexity
If only heating function is provided, then the device is simple, but the air is dry and not fresh
Solution Approach 1:
The heater integrates three functions into a single device: heating (heating member), humidification (humidifying device with atomization plate), and air purification (air purifying device). This multi-functional design provides warm, fresh, and humidified air without requiring multiple separate appliances.
Solution Approach 2:
The heating device, air purifying device, and humidifying device are merged into a single integrated system with shared components like the casing, air inlet, air outlet, and control panel, achieving space efficiency and coordinated operation.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If multiple functions are integrated, then the air quality improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The humidifying device components (water container, cotton rod, atomization plate, hollow pipe) are nested within the casing and integrated with the heating and air purification systems. The fog output box is positioned at the front side corresponding to the air outlet, creating a compact nested structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The integrated design allows the same air outlet to exhaust warm wind, humidified air, and purified air simultaneously, while the touch control panel controls all three functions, reducing the need for separate controls and interfaces.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The solution provides fresh, warm, and humidified air, addressing the dryness issue while ensuring easy assembly and production with a simple design, offering multiple functions in a single appliance.
Implementation Method 1
The cotton rod is inserted into the water container from the water inlet to suck water in the water container and send the water to the atomization plate
Implementation Method 2
The atomization plate is disposed on top of the fixing knob and in contact with the cotton rod. The atomization plate generates atomized particles to be sent to the hollow pipe
Implementation Method 3
The heating member is disposed in the heating passage corresponding to the air supply opening of the exhaust fan

AI summary
The present invention discloses a heater with a humidifying device. The humidifying device includes a water container, a cotton rod, a fixing knob, an atomization plate, a hollow pipe, and a fog output box. Through the cotton rod, water is sent to the atomization plate to directly generate atomized particles. The heater is combined with an air purifying device, the humidifying device, and a heating device to provide multiple functions. An air outlet outputs warm wind, humidified air and purified air, so the user can feel fresh but not dry warm wind.
