The present disclosure will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings in conjunction with embodiments.

Referring first to fig. 1 and 2, fig. 1 is an exploded view of some embodiments of a humidifier according to the present disclosure. Fig. 2 is a first cross-sectional view of some embodiments of a humidifier according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the humidifier includes a water tank 1, a wetting assembly 2, a water control assembly (not shown), and a blower 3. The infiltration assembly 2 and the fan 3 are arranged on two sides of the bottom of the water tank 1. Optionally, a housing 5 may be further disposed at the bottom of the water tank 1. The housing is used for placing the infiltration assembly 2 and the fan 3. This casing 5 can set up a plurality of ventilation holes, and the ventilation hole that is close to infiltration subassembly 2 is as the air intake, and the ventilation hole that is close to above-mentioned fan 3 is as the air outlet. In the working state, the fan 3 sucks external dry air to pass through the infiltration assembly 2, so as to generate humid air, and finally the humid air is blown into a room, so that the humidification effect is realized.

The soaking assembly can comprise a wet film and a water storage tray, wherein the wet film is used for absorbing water sprayed by the water tank. The water storage tray is used for collecting water left from the wet film. The water in the water storage tray can spread into the wet film through a capillary phenomenon.

In some embodiments, the water control assembly is disposed between the water tank and the immersion assembly. The water control assembly enables the water tank to intermittently inject water to the soaking assembly through the soaking degree of the soaking assembly. The degree of wetting may be a liquid level in the water storage tray or a weight of the wet film. As an example, the water control assembly may include a valve provided to a water outlet at the bottom of the tank and a liquid level gauge provided to the water storage tray. The liquid level meter is in communication connection with the valve. Under operating condition, when the liquid level that above-mentioned level gauge detected the water storage dish is less than preset threshold value, the wet membrane of sign needs the moisturizing, and above-mentioned level gauge can send control signal for the valve is opened, thereby carries out the moisturizing to wet membrane. The valve may be an electrically actuated valve, a solenoid valve, or the like. As another example, a gravity sensor may be attached to the bottom of the wet film to detect the weight of the wet film. When the weight of the wet film is detected to be lower than the preset threshold value, the moisture which is used for representing the wet film is evaporated, and the moisture needs to be supplemented. The gravity sensor can control the valve to be opened to complete the water replenishing operation of the wet film. As yet another example, the valve may be replaced by a valve ball. Specifically, a concave part can be arranged at the bottom of the water tank, and a water outlet is arranged at the bottom end of the concave part. The valve ball can be placed in the concave part to block the water outlet. An electromagnet can be arranged on one side of the valve ball, and the valve ball is controlled to leave or block the water outlet by the on-off of the electromagnet. Thereby realizing the intermittent water filling of the water tank. The valve ball can be made of stainless steel materials or made of conductor materials wrapped by waterproof materials. The water-resistant material can be plastic, silica gel and the like.

Some alternative implementations of some embodiments of the above-described water control assembly will be described next with reference to fig. 3, which fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of some embodiments of the water control assembly according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the water control assembly may include a water discharge chamber 41 and a valve ball 42. The water discharge chamber 41 is hollow, and the inner cavity is used for placing the valve ball 42. The top (the direction in fig. 4) of the drainage cavity 41 is communicated with a first water outlet 11 arranged at the bottom of the water tank 1. The bottom of the water drainage cavity 41 is provided with a second water outlet 43. The size of the second water outlet 43 is smaller than that of the valve ball 42, so that the valve ball 42 can block the second water outlet 43 in a static state. As an example, a pull wire may be provided at one side of the drain chamber 41, and the pull wire may be connected to the valve ball 42. Under the working state, the infiltration degree of the wet film 21 can be known through the liquid level meter or the gravity sensor, so that the stretching out or the contraction of the stay wire is controlled through a motor, a steering engine, an electric push rod and other devices, the valve ball 42 is plugged or the second water outlet 43 is opened, and the operations of stopping water injection and starting water injection are finished. Alternatively, the magnetic attracting member 44 may be provided on one side of the valve ball 42, and the valve ball 42 may be made of a conductor or a magnet. The magnetically attracting member 44 may be an electromagnet. In the working state, the magnetic attraction member 44 is controlled to attract the valve ball 42, so that the valve ball 42 is separated from the second water outlet 43.

Next, further alternative implementations of some embodiments of the above-described water control assembly are described with reference to fig. 4, and fig. 4 is a schematic structural view of other embodiments of the water control assembly according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the water control assembly includes not only the valve ball 42 and the drain valve 41 described above, but also a valve stem 45. A first end (a lower end shown in fig. 4) of the valve stem 45 is placed in the water storage tray 23, and a second end (an upper end shown in fig. 5) of the valve stem 45 is engaged with the valve ball 42 through the second water outlet 43. The valve stem 45 is provided with a length that allows the valve ball 42 to be disengaged from the second water outlet 43. In the working state, the water in the water tank 1 will flow through the first water outlet 11 and the second water outlet 43 onto the wet film 21. When the water level in the water storage tray 23 becomes high and exceeds a preset threshold value, the valve rod 45 will jack the valve ball 42 to block the first water outlet 11. The predetermined threshold value represents the level of liquid at which the generated buoyancy is able to jack the valve stem 45. The first water outlet 11 is smaller than the valve ball 42. In this way, the position of the valve ball 42 is changed by the valve rod 45 under the action of different buoyancy along with the change of the liquid level in the water storage disc 23. Thereby, the liquid level in the water storage tray 23 can be ensured, and the wet film 21 can absorb sufficient moisture under the spraying and capillary phenomena of the water tank 1.

Further, a first suction member 46 may be provided at the first end of the valve rod 45, and a second suction member 47 may be provided on the water storage tray 23. The first and second attraction members 46 and 47 may be a combination of a magnet and a conductor or a magnet and a magnet. When the buoyancy generated by the water in the water storage tray 23 is larger than the attraction force between the first and second attraction members 46 and 47 and the gravity of the valve rod 45 and the valve ball 42, the valve rod 45 can block the valve ball 42 to the first water outlet 11. And then the water injection is stopped.

The water storage tray may include a receiving section and a plurality of water collecting sections. The receiving section is surrounded by a baffle plate, and a second suction member is provided at the bottom of the receiving section into which the first end of the valve stem is placed. The plurality of water collecting sections are partitioned by baffles and arranged around the accommodating section. A waterway may be formed between adjacent water collecting sections. Under the working state, water left from the wet film continuously gathers after entering the water collecting section. When the water level exceeds the baffle plate of the water collecting section, the water can be collected into the containing section through the waterway, so that the valve rod is subjected to the buoyancy.

The technical scheme is taken as an invention point of the embodiment of the disclosure, and the problem that the moisture of the wet film is evaporated when water is not injected in time is solved. The associated humidifier is typically filled with water in an amount equal to the calculated evaporation amount. However, it is not considered that the wet film is still evaporated during the water injection process, so that moisture cannot be absorbed by the wet film in time after the wet film is evaporated. If the above factors are solved, the effects of improving the working efficiency of the wet film and the reliability of the humidifier can be achieved. To achieve this effect, the present disclosure introduces a first suction member provided to the first end of the valve stem and a second suction member provided to the water storage tray. The first and second suction members can cause a suction force to exist between the valve stem and the water storage tray. When the liquid level in the water storage disc is reduced, the buoyancy is reduced, so that the valve rod is more sensitively reduced under the action of the attraction force, and the first end of the valve rod is jointed with the water storage disc. Therefore, the opening degrees of the valve ball and the first water outlet can be rapidly opened, the wet film can be sprayed in time, the situation that water in the position of the wet film is evaporated due to untimely water injection is avoided, and the reliability of the humidifier is improved. When the liquid level in the water storage disc rises, the valve rod slowly jacks up the valve ball under the attraction action of the first attraction member and the second attraction member, the first water outlet is slowly blocked, the water injection time is prolonged, the situation that moisture cannot be timely absorbed by a wet film due to the fact that the first water outlet is repeatedly opened is avoided, and therefore the working efficiency of the wet film and the reliability of the humidifier are improved.

Next, the infiltration assembly will be described in conjunction with fig. 2 and 5, fig. 5 being a schematic structural view of some embodiments of the infiltration assembly according to the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2 and 5, the infiltration assembly 2 may also include a water diversion tray 22. In the assembled state, the water diversion tray 22 is located below the water tank 1 (the direction in fig. 2). The wet film 21 is placed between the water diversion tray 22 and the water storage tray 23. The wet film 21 extends in a wave shape in the horizontal direction. Compared with the wet film 21 which is opened and placed, the occupied space is saved. Meanwhile, the water absorption capacity and the wind area of the wet film 21 are increased, and the evaporation capacity of the humidifier is further improved. The wet film 21 may be made of a material having high water absorbency, such as a mesh cloth. The selection can be made by those skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

Alternatively, in order to make the water from the water tank 1 uniformly flow onto the wet film 21, the water diversion tray 22 may include a water diversion plate 222 and a plurality of water diversion holes 221. The plurality of shower holes 221 are uniformly provided to the extension path of the wet film 21 so that the connection line of the shower holes 221 corresponds to the extension track of the wet film 21. Meanwhile, the shower nozzle 221 is communicated with the wet film 21. The water dividing plate 222 divides the adjacent water spraying ports 221 so that the water in the water tank 1 can uniformly flow to each water spraying port 221. Thereby enabling the wet film 21 to uniformly absorb moisture and further improving the wetting effect.

The foregoing description is only exemplary of the preferred embodiments of the disclosure and is illustrative of the principles of the technology employed. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the scope of the invention in the embodiments of the present disclosure is not limited to the specific combination of the above-mentioned features, and other embodiments formed by any combination of the above-mentioned features or their equivalents may be covered without departing from the inventive concept.
