The design of the diversion structure 7 can intuitively guide a user to pour water from the direction or the side where the diversion structure 7 is located, so that the pouring water flow is more concentrated and is not easy to splash wet objects, or the water is splashed onto other non-waterproof components or structures on the humidifier base 3, such as the air outlet 8, and the damage or the failure of equipment caused by splashing water is avoided.

As shown in fig. 4, according to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the diversion structure 7 has a diversion opening provided toward an edge of a lateral end portion of the base 3, the diversion opening being configured to be able to converge a flow of poured water when the base 3 is inclined toward a side where the diversion opening is located to pour the water contained in the containing chamber 6.

More specifically, in order to cooperate with the flow guide structure 7, as shown in fig. 3 to 4, the accommodating chamber 6 may be designed to include a first chamber portion 61 and a second chamber portion 62 which are communicated with each other as a whole, a bottom of the first chamber portion 61 is located below the lower end opening of the mist guide pipe 21 and is provided with the atomizing plate 5, and the flow guide port is provided at an edge of the first chamber portion 61 on a side away from the second chamber portion 62, wherein the bottom of the first chamber portion 61 is lower than the bottom of the second chamber. Here, it should be understood that the edge of the lateral end of the base 3, i.e., the edge of the side of the first cavity portion 61 away from the second cavity portion 62, is as before. The cavity bottom of the first cavity portion 61 is lower than the cavity bottom of the second cavity portion 62, and the highest position of the cavity bottom of the first cavity portion 61 is lower than any position of the cavity bottom of the second cavity portion 62.

Through the design, the cavity bottom of the second cavity part 62 relatively far away from the diversion structure 7 or the diversion opening is higher than the cavity bottom of the first cavity part 61, so that when accumulated water is poured, the water in the second cavity part 62 naturally flows into the first cavity part 61 first, and therefore all water contained in the containing cavity 6 of the base 3 can be more conveniently and completely removed when a user pours the water.

It is further preferred that the bottom of the first chamber portion 61 is connected to the bottom of the second chamber portion 62 via a transition slope 64, thereby further ensuring that the user can more easily pour out the accumulated water in the receiving chamber 6 without residual accumulated water when pouring out the water.

It should be understood that the inclination of a surface is understood to mean the angle of the surface to the vertical, and in this application, to mean the angle of the surface to the vertical when the humidifier or its base 3 is laid flat. In other words, according to the above preferred embodiment of the present invention, the guide surface has a gradually increasing inclination angle from both sides thereof to the center thereof. This design enhances the effect of the flow directing structure 7 on converging water flow so that water is discharged in a smaller and more concentrated area when pouring, avoiding water flowing or splashing onto other structures or other parts, causing unnecessary adverse effects.

It is further preferred that the flow guide surface is profiled with upper and lower lips, the upper lip 71 being closer to the edge of the first cavity portion 61 than the lower lip 72, the lower lip 72 having a greater inclination than the upper lip 71, as shown in figure 4. Such a design may help to subject the poured water flow to a more gradual acceleration process as the standing water is poured, reducing water bloom that may occur beyond the converging water flow as the pour is poured, especially at larger amplitudes or angles.

As shown in fig. 4, according to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the upper lip 71 has an edge profile in the shape of a circular arc. And further preferably the curvature of the edge profile of the upper lip 71 is greater than the curvature of the remaining edge profile of the receiving cavity 6. This design can further help on the one hand to assemble the rivers and reduce the splash that splash, and on the other hand also helps guiding the user more directly perceivedly to pour water from the correct direction, avoids the risk of maloperation.

As shown in fig. 4, according to some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the open upper portion of the base 3 is further provided with an edge portion 63 at least partially surrounding the accommodating cavity 6 and defining a boundary of the accommodating cavity 6, the edge portion 63 is provided with an air outlet 8 for promoting the escape of the moisture through the mist guiding pipe 21, and a back surface of the air outlet 8 is closer to the diversion opening than a front surface thereof. Since the fan (not shown in the drawings, which may be located inside the base 3) and the outlet 8 connected thereto are generally required to strictly avoid water inflow or splashing and thus damage or malfunction of the fan, the above preferred design can reduce this risk to a greater extent.

Further preferably, the orientation of the diversion opening and the orientation of the air outlet 8 may be arranged in opposite directions as shown in fig. 4, to further reduce the above potential risk of fan failure.
