Humidifier Halite Module Design to Prevent Moisture Dissolution
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing humidifiers that combine halite for air purification face issues with rapid dissolution and deformation of halite due to moisture, leading to short halite usage and unstable negative ion release, affecting air purification effectiveness.
Innovation Solution
A humidifier design featuring a halite module with a mixing chamber and perforations allows atomized gas to contact halite indirectly, stabilizing negative ion release and prolonging halite usage by preventing direct spraying, which maintains halite shape and ensures consistent air purification.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If atomized gas is directly sprayed to the crystal halite, then the negative ion generation is enhanced, but the halite dissolves too quickly and deforms
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a gas permeable membrane as an intermediary between the atomized gas and the halite. The membrane allows atomized gas to pass through and contact the halite indirectly, enabling negative ion generation while preventing direct moisture exposure that causes rapid dissolution and deformation of the halite.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the contact area between atomized gas and halite by using a gas permeable membrane with multiple contact points. This segmentation allows controlled interaction between the atomized gas and halite surface, maintaining negative ion generation effectiveness while reducing overall moisture exposure and extending halite lifespan.
2Reliability
If atomized gas is directly sprayed to the crystal halite, then the negative ion release is enhanced, but the halite shape is deformed
Solution Approach 1:
The gas permeable membrane serves as a protective intermediary that maintains the shape of the halite by preventing direct冲击 of atomized gas. The membrane allows gas permeation for negative ion generation while distributing the physical stress, thereby preserving the halite's original shape and aesthetic appearance.
3Reliability
If atomized gas is directly sprayed to the crystal halite, then the negative ion generation is enhanced, but the negative ion release becomes unstable
Solution Approach 1:
The gas permeable membrane provides a stable interface between the atomized gas and halite, ensuring consistent negative ion release. By controlling the permeation process and preventing direct contact variability, the membrane stabilizes the negative ion generation effectiveness throughout the halite's usage period.

AI summary
A humidifier capable of releasing natural negative ions includes a humidifier body and a halite module. After an atomized gas generated from a second atomized gas outlet of the humidifier body flows into an mixing chamber, the atomized gas is controlled in the mixing chamber, part of the atomized gas flows into an accommodation chamber through perforations to be in contact with a halite, negative ions released by the halite is introduced into the mixing chamber through the perforations, the negative ions merge with the atomized gas in the mixing chamber to form the atomized gas with negative ions, and the atomized gas with the negative ions is discharged via a first atomized gas outlet, thereby solving the problem that the halite is quickly dissolved and deformed by moisture.
