Humidifier Modular Assembly for Top Water Addition and Pump Access
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing humidifiers are inconvenient to assemble due to their design, which complicates the process of adding water and assembling components.
Innovation Solution
A humidifier design featuring a machine base on top of a water tank with a water suction pump and water inlet pipe, allowing for top water addition and independent assembly of components, including a water feed base that can be easily loaded and unloaded, and a system with high-level and low-level detectors to manage water levels efficiently.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the machine base and water tank are integrated in existing humidifiers, then the structure is compact, but the assembly and water addition process becomes inconvenient
Solution Approach 1:
The humidifier is divided into separable components: the machine base (containing the atomization water reservoir, atomizer, and control system) and the water tank are designed as independent modules that can be easily assembled and disassembled. The water inlet pipe serves as a flexible connection element between these modules, enabling convenient water refilling without disassembling the entire device.
2Ease of operation
If water is added from the top in existing humidifiers, then water addition is convenient, but the water pump and inlet pipe become difficult to install and maintain
Solution Approach 1:
The water inlet pipe acts as an intermediary element that connects the water tank to the atomization water reservoir. This flexible connection allows water to be added from the top of the water tank while maintaining easy access to the pump and inlet pipe components for installation and maintenance, as they remain externally accessible rather than buried within the integrated structure.
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
Facilitates easier assembly and water addition, improving user convenience, especially in floor and industrial humidifiers, by allowing independent handling of the machine base and water tank, and ensuring proper water levels are maintained, reducing power consumption and preventing water accumulation.
Implementation Method 1
a water suction pump, wherein the water suction pump is located in the water tank when the humidifier is assembled
Implementation Method 2
water vapor generated by the atomizer enters the atomization air channel

AI summary
Provided is a humidifier, including a machine base, a water tank, a water suction pump, and a water inlet pipe. The machine base is located on the water tank, which includes an atomization water reservoir, a water feed base, a control base, an atomization air channel and an atomizer disposed inside. The water feed base includes a water feed opening and a first outflow opening, and the first outflow opening is in communication with the water tank; a water inlet is disposed on the atomization water reservoir, and water in the water tank will flow into the atomization water reservoir through the water inlet pipe by the water suction pump; the atomizer is in communication with the atomization water reservoir through an atomization opening disposed at the atomization water reservoir, and water vapor flows into the atomization air channel and flows to outside along the atomization air channel.
