Description

Safety structure for humidifier

Technical field

The present invention relates to the humidifier structure, especially refer to a kind of safety structure for humidifier, it is provided with a safety device between body and water tank, steam box, this safety device also is provided with the water level detecing element, utilize this water level detecing element to detect the water level in the water tank, with the dump of humidifier, guarantee the safe in utilization of humidifier with in good time.

Background technology

Known humidifier, as No. the 367023rd, TaiWan, China patent announcement: multi-functional humidifier structure, this first kind of known humidifier, two detectors that detect the water yield in the tank directly are set in the tank of main frame, directly detector is arranged in the tank, maximum shortcoming is, when having, humidifier topples over or other abnormal inclination, and when still balance has water in the tank, this detector will detect a wrong signal, and can't cut off the power supply of humidifier in good time, directly the user is caused and use harm.

And for example No. the 145330th, the TaiWan, China patent announcement: the improvement of humidifier feedwater control mode, this known second kind of humidifier, be to establish collecting chamber in base, install a magnetic reed switch at collecting chamber, in water tank ball float is set again, ball float is established magnet, with the aforementioned magnetic reed switch of correspondence, when water level reduced its start of drive, can start this magnetic reed switch was the action that opens or closes.The shortcoming of this second kind of known humidifier with aforementioned known first kind identical, all have the problem of failing in good time to cut off the electricity supply.

United States Patent (USP) is announced 6259860B1:Humidifier for another example, this case and the application's case are same inventor and applicant, this the third known humidifier, be to establish drowning groove in the delivery port of water tank, the ring that is the connecting rod setting of water plug encloses and is equipped with ball float, water level in utilizing this ball float and being located at this susceptor body is detectd the corresponding running of side element, and produces the effect that water level detects.But this kind known configurations will be because of the balance water yield problems that erroneous judgement takes place more.

For another No. the 4563313rd, United States Patent (USP): Humidifier, this case then directly is provided with ball float in water tank, also have the erroneous judgement problem of aforementioned various known humidifiers.

Inferior person, another shortcoming of aforementioned each known configurations is, and when this humidifier utilized heater that the water in the tank is carried out the high temperature heating with vaporific structure, the water yield in the tank was too many, will cause the water level boiling time of a specified duration excessively, and steam produced slow problem.

For this reason, the inventor amasss the research and design and the manufacturing of humidifier for many years, is studied at the shortcoming of preceding taking off known configurations and propose safety structure for humidifier of the present invention.

Summary of the invention

The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is: a kind of safety structure for humidifier is provided, and it can prevent that humidifier is improper topples over, and avoids taking place the erroneous judgement of water level detecting, with in good time cut-out humidifier power supply, improves electrical safety.

Another technical problem that the present invention will solve is: a kind of safety structure for humidifier is provided, the water yield of steam groove can be remained on minimum state, with quick generation steam.

Technical solution of the present invention is: a kind of safety structure for humidifier comprises: body, and described body is established aqua storage tank, and aqua storage tank is established right cylinder, and right cylinder is installed with and detects element; Establish the steam groove in body again; Safety device, safety device is located at the aqua storage tank and the steam groove top of aforementioned body, safety device is established little tank, and little tank is established the ball float containing groove, and the ball float containing groove is the ball float setting, limit it with limiting element again, and ball float is sheathed on the right cylinder of aforementioned body, ball float can detect the corresponding running of element with aforementioned; The safety device is established the vapor outlet port seat, outputs to steam box so that steam is concentrated; In body top storage tank is set so, again and steam box can constitute humidifier of the present invention.

Characteristics of the present invention and advantage have:

1 safety structure for humidifier of the present invention is to be provided with a safety device between body and water tank, steam box, and this safety device can be controlled the outlet of steam, and the steam groove water level of control humidifier, reaches quick vaporific effect.

2 safety structure for humidifier of the present invention, be provided with the water level detecing element, the water level detecing element is located at the below of aforementioned safety device, and the water level detecing element is established ball float, this ball float can with detect element symmetry running, and detect element can Magnetosensing element or photoelectric cell for it, with the water level of detecting water tank, cut off the power supply of humidifier in good time, guarantee user's safety.

3 safety structure for humidifier of the present invention wherein in the steam groove and be provided with thin film heater or vibration son, have steam and produce the efficient height, and the little advantage that does not take up space of volume is enough to dwindle the partial volume of humidifier.

4 safety structure for humidifier of the present invention, wherein between body and steam box, be provided with the safety monitoring element, when steam box is got from body, this safety monitoring element will detect and cut off whole power supplys at once, and can't start this humidifier down in this state, to improve the safe in utilization of this humidifier.

The present invention detects element with water level and is located on the safety device, water-supply valve then is located in the water tank, so, keeps minimum water level so that hold the tank that water level detects element, when humidifier has improper when action of toppling over, the problems judged by accident can not take place because of the balance water yield is many in humidifier structure of the present invention.
