The number and the position of the optical signals sent by the signal sending module 9 can be set according to specific requirements, and the more the number is, the finer the reflected liquid level information is.

Preferably, in order to make the structure more compact, the inner side surface of the cover 2 is formed with a concave structure 221, for example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the inner side surface of the bottom plate 22 of the cover 2 is concave, and correspondingly the outer side surface (here, the outer side surface is the surface of the bottom plate 22 corresponding to the humidifier itself, i.e., near the hollow structure) is convex to form the concave structure 221, so that the concave structure 221 is located in the hollow structure of the cover 2, as shown in fig. 3, one end of the float 8 protrudes into the concave structure 221, as shown in fig. 2, the signal transmitting module 9 and the signal receiving module 10 are oppositely mounted on two side walls 222 opposite to the concave structure 221, for example, as shown in fig. 2, the signal transmitting module 9 and the signal receiving module 10 are both mounted on the side walls 222 of the concave structure 221 through the mounting plate 13, and the mounting plate 13 are light transmitting materials, and thus the light signals emitted by the signal transmitting module 9 can be received by the mounting plate 13 and the concave structure 221 or blocked by the float 8. In addition, the fan 6 may be preferably disposed in the concave structure 221.
Preferably, to make the structure more compact, one end of the float 8 is hinged to the cover 2, and the other end is suspended in the liquid in the tank, so that the displacement generated by the other end of the float 8 is greater and the displacement generated by the end hinged to the cover 2 is smaller.

Thus, when the liquid level in the tank 4 changes, the end of the float 8 suspended in the liquid is displaced, so that the float 8 rotates about the second hinge shaft 811, and the portion of the float 8 located in the concave structure 221 changes the number of blocked optical signals, thereby changing the signal received by the signal receiving module 9. In order to facilitate the opening and closing of the cover 2, the second hinge shaft 811 and the first hinge shaft 3 are preferably disposed parallel to each other, and further preferably on the same side of the center position of the cover 2.
