Moreover, the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 are respectively positioned at the two sides of the bracket 11 and the base 21, on one hand, the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 can be ensured to have larger heat dissipation space, so that the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 have better heat dissipation effect, the service lives of the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 can be prolonged, and the influence on the normal work of the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 due to overheating is avoided; on the other hand, the bracket 11 and the two sides of the base 21 have a large installation space, so that the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 can be more conveniently installed and detached, and an operator can be ensured to have a sufficient operation space.

In some embodiments of the present invention, in combination with fig. 1-3, the humidifying device 100 further includes a bottom plate 6, the humidifying module 2 is disposed on the bottom plate 6, and the bracket 11 and the base 21 are both arranged along the width direction of the bottom plate 6. For example, in the example of fig. 1-3, the bottom plate 6 is arranged horizontally, the second fan 13, the base 21, and the first fan 23 are all provided on the bottom plate 6, and the second fan 13, the base 21, and the first fan 23 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the bottom plate 6. The bracket 11 and the base 21 each extend in the width direction of the bottom plate 6. That is, the longitudinal direction of the bracket 11 is the same as the width direction of the bottom plate 6, the width direction of the bracket 11 is the same as the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate 6, the longitudinal direction of the base 21 is the same as the width direction of the bottom plate 6, and the width direction of the base 21 is the same as the length direction of the bottom plate 6.

Moreover, the bottom plate 6 can be used to mount the entire humidification apparatus 100 (for example, the entire humidification apparatus 100 can be mounted on the outdoor unit 201 through the bottom plate 6), and the bottom plate 6 can be used to mount the humidification apparatus 100 at different positions, thereby improving the mounting versatility of the humidification apparatus 100. In addition, the entire humidifying device 100 can be attached and detached only by attaching or detaching the bottom plate 6 to or from the corresponding attachment position, and the efficiency of attaching and detaching the entire humidifying device 100 can be improved. In addition, by arranging both the bracket 11 and the base 21 in the width direction of the base plate 6, the occupied space of the bracket 11 and the base 21 in the length direction of the base plate 6 can be reduced, the second fan 13 and the first fan 23 have sufficient installation space, the arrangement is convenient, and the structure of the whole humidifying device 100 can be made more compact.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 10-14, the bottom plate 6 is provided with two guiding ribs 61 spaced apart from each other, a guiding groove is defined between the two guiding ribs 61, an end of the guiding groove away from the base 21 is provided with an opening, a bottom of the first fan 23 is provided with a guiding block 231, and the guiding block 231 is fitted into the guiding groove through the opening. For example, referring to fig. 10 and 11, two guide ribs 61 may be provided at intervals in the width direction of the base plate 6, a guide block 231 is provided on the side of the first fan 23 adjacent to the base plate 6, and the guide block 231 extends in a direction toward the base plate 6. After installation, the side walls of the guide block 231 on both sides in the width direction may be stopped against the corresponding guide ribs 61, respectively. From this, when guaranteeing that guide block 231 can cooperate in the guide way, two direction muscle 61 can inject first fan 23 along the motion of fore-and-aft direction to can guarantee the stability of first fan 23's position, accuracy. Therefore, during installation, the guide block 231 can penetrate through the opening from right to left along the length direction of the bottom plate 6 so as to be matched in the guide groove, the installation mode is simple, the operation is convenient, and the assembly efficiency of the humidifying device 100 can be further improved.

In some alternative embodiments, the upper portions of the surfaces of the two guide ribs 61 facing each other have inclined surfaces 611, and each inclined surface 611 extends obliquely from top to bottom toward the center of the guide groove. Referring to fig. 11 and 12, an upper portion of one side surface of each guide rib 61 adjacent to the guide block 231 has a slope 611, and the slope 611 extends obliquely downward. So set up, can avoid when the installation direction muscle 61 and guide block 231 take place to interfere to make guide block 231 can be assembled to the guide way in fast.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, the first fan 23 is installed in a direction opposite to the direction of the intake air of the first fan 23. For example, in the example of fig. 10, the air outlet of the first fan 23 is located on a side (e.g., a right side in fig. 10) of the first fan 23 away from the base 21, so that the air inlet direction of the first fan 23 is from left to right. Since the opening communicating with the guide groove is defined between the ends of the two guide ribs 61 remote from the base 21, the installation direction of the first fan 23 is from right to left. So set up, during the installation, make things convenient for operating personnel to can be fast and accurately assemble guide block 231 to the guide way in, and can avoid first fan 23 and other parts on every side to take place to interfere.

In some alternative embodiments, the first fan 23 may be removably connected to the base plate 6. Therefore, when one of the first fan 23 and the bottom plate 6 is damaged, an operator can directly replace the first fan 23 or the bottom plate 6 without replacing the whole body, so that the maintenance cost of the humidifying device 100 can be reduced.

Further, at least one screw column 62 is arranged on the bottom plate 6, at least one screw seat 232 is arranged on the first fan 23, and the screw seat 232 is arranged at the top of the screw column 62 and connected with the screw column 62 through screws.

Two sides of the first fan 23 in the width direction are respectively provided with a screw seat 232, and each screw seat 232 extends in a direction away from the center of the first fan 23. When installed, the screws pass through the corresponding screw seats 232 to be connected with the corresponding screw posts 62, so that the first fan 23 can be firmly fixed on the bottom plate 6.

Further, referring to fig. 13 and 14, a fitting groove 2321 is formed on a bottom surface of the screw base 232, a side of the fitting groove 2321 facing the base 21 is opened, and a top of the screw post 62 is fitted into the fitting groove 2321 through the side of the fitting groove 2321 facing the base 21. With such an arrangement, when the first fan 23 is installed, the fitting groove 2321 can play a guiding role to ensure that the guide block 231 of the first fan 23 can be accurately installed in the guide groove of the bottom plate 6, so as to improve the assembly efficiency of the humidifying device 100, and the outer circumferential surface of the screw post 62 abuts against the inner circumferential surface of the fitting groove 2321 after installation, so as to further limit the movement of the first fan 23 along the front-back direction, and further ensure the stability of the position of the first fan 23. Also, when the guide block 231 is fitted into place with the guide groove, the top of the screw post 62 is also fitted just inside the fitting groove 2321, so that the fitting efficiency can be further improved.

Alternatively, the distance between the two side walls of the fitting groove 2321 is gradually reduced in the direction away from the base 21. Referring to fig. 13 and 14, the fitting groove 2321 is substantially trumpet-shaped, and the opening of the fitting groove 2321 faces one side of the base 21. When the guide block 231 of the first fan 23 is inserted into the guide groove from right to left, the interference between the two sidewalls and the screw post 62 can be avoided, so as to ensure that the guide block 231 can be smoothly fitted into the guide groove.

From this, guaranteed the leakproofness of the junction of wind channel piece 14 and second fan 13 to can avoid above-mentioned junction to take place the phenomenon of leaking out, wind channel piece 14 and second fan 13 can be connected through buckle structure simultaneously, and above-mentioned connected mode is comparatively simple, makes things convenient for operating personnel to operate, thereby can improve humidification device 100's assembly efficiency.

In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 15-17, the fastening structure includes a fastener 134 and a projection 144, the fastener 134 is disposed on an outer peripheral side of one of the air duct member 14 and the second fan 13, the fastener 134 has a bayonet 135, the bayonet 135 faces a center of one of the air duct member 14 and the second fan 13, and the projection 144 is disposed on an outer peripheral side of the other of the air duct member 14 and the second fan 13, and the other of the air duct member 14 and the second fan 13 is rotated with respect to the one of the air duct member 14 and the second fan 13 so that the projection 144 is fitted into the bayonet 135.

For example, in the example of fig. 16 and 17, the catch 134 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the fan inlet 131, and the bayonet 135 faces the center of the fan inlet 131. The projection 144 is provided on the outer peripheral side of the air duct outlet 142. During installation, the protrusion 143 of the air duct member 14 may be first fitted into the groove 214 of the second fan 13, and then the other one of the second fan 13 and the air duct member 14 may be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise relative to the other one of the second fan 13 and the air duct member 14, so that the protrusion 144 is fitted into the bayonet 135 of the corresponding bayonet 134. Therefore, through the matching of the protrusion 143 and the groove 214 and the matching of the buckle 134 and the bump 144, the connection between the second fan 13 and the air duct 14 can be ensured to have good sealing performance, so that the air leakage phenomenon at the connection can be avoided, the air output of the humidifying device 100 can be ensured, and the assembling efficiency is high.

According to some embodiments of the present invention, one of the second fan 13 and the air duct member 14 is formed with a fan groove 133 surrounding the fan inlet 131 and the air duct member outlet 142, and the other of the second fan 13 and the air duct member 14 is formed with a protrusion 143, and the protrusion 143 is fitted in the fan groove 133. Wherein, the second fan 13 may be formed with a fan groove 133 surrounding the fan inlet 131, and the air duct member 14 may be provided with a protrusion 143 (as shown in fig. 19 and 21); alternatively, the air duct member 14 may have a fan groove 133 formed thereon to surround the air outlet 142 of the air duct member, and the second fan 13 may have a protrusion 143 (not shown). Referring to fig. 22, the air duct member 14 may be provided with a protrusion 143 surrounding the air outlet 142 of the air duct member.

Referring to fig. 23, one end of the projection 144 in the circumferential direction, which is away from the fan inlet 131, has a guide surface 1441, and the guide surface 1441 extends obliquely upward in a direction toward the center of the projection 144 toward a direction away from the fan inlet 131. During installation, the guiding surface 1441 may serve as a guide for the protrusion 144 to be quickly assembled into the corresponding buckle 134, so as to further improve the assembly efficiency of the humidifying device 100.

In some alternative embodiments, the number of the fastening structures may be multiple, and the multiple fastening structures are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the fan inlet 131. In the description of the present invention, "a plurality" means two or more.
