When the humidifying module works, the atomizing part 11 works and atomizes water into water vapor, and the generated water vapor flows upwards along the jet flow pipeline 21 because the water vapor is lighter than air; according to Bernoulli's principle, the static pressure in the fluidic pipeline 21 is less than outside static pressure, drive the outside air of fluidic pipeline 21 by in the tonifying qi mouth 22 advances incident flow pipeline 21, play the effect that the boosting is accelerated to steam, thereby the route length that steam flows in the extension humidification module, the increase is to the suction of water, the defect that atomizing part 11 can't absorb water when solving among the prior art steam generation unit 1 and surpassing certain length, and need not increase devices such as relay water tank, the electronic valve, the suction pump, etc. and save the cost. The atomizing component 11 can adopt an ultrasonic atomizing sheet, and water molecules of water on the lower surface of the atomizing sheet are scattered through high-frequency vibration to form water vapor and then released through the upper surface of the atomizing sheet.
