Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure.

In the correlation technique, the humidifier needs to use the water pump to extract the water in the humidifier to humidification filter core top for water is from last whole humidification filter core of humidifying down under the action of gravity, and because the instantaneous flow of water pump in operation is periodic function, this makes the water pump structure can produce periodic vibration thereupon and send the noise, and the water pump makes the gas that dissolves in water and the water easily take place gas separation and produce the vacuole when pumping, collapses in rivers along with the vacuole, and the cavitation noise of crackle takes place.

In order to solve the above technical problem, a humidifier is provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

The humidifier that this disclosure provided includes: a humidifying assembly having a first water inlet; a water supply tank having a tank outlet; the water supply pipeline is respectively communicated with the first water inlet and the water tank water outlet; the water outlet of the water tank is higher than the first water inlet, so that water in the water supply tank can flow into the humidifying assembly through the water supply pipeline under the action of gravity.

According to the arrangement of the water supply tank, the arrangement position of the water outlet of the water supply tank is higher than that of the first water inlet. The water in the water supply can automatically flow into the humidifying assembly under the action of gravity, so that the humidifier can be cancelled with a water pump, and the noise of the humidifier is reduced.

Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a humidifier shown in accordance with an exemplary embodiment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the humidifier includes a humidifying assembly, a water supply tank 10, and a water supply line 13.

The humidifying assembly is used to evaporate water or convert water into mist, and the water supply tank 10 is used to store water for the humidifier and supply water to the humidifying assembly.

The humidifying assembly has a first water inlet 31, the water supply tank 10 has a tank outlet 101, and the water supply line 13 can communicate the first water inlet 31 and the tank outlet 101, so that water in the water supply tank 10 can flow from the tank outlet 101 to the first water inlet 31 through the water supply line 13, and finally reaches the humidifying assembly.

Wherein, the position of the water tank outlet 101 of the water supply tank 10 is higher than the position of the first water inlet 31 of the humidifying assembly, which enables the water in the water supply tank 10 to flow into the humidifying assembly through the water supply pipeline 13 by itself under the action of gravity.

For example, in one embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the water supply tank 10 is disposed at a higher level than the humidification filter element 20, and more particularly, the connection between the water supply tank 10 and the water supply line 13 may be disposed at a higher level than the connection between the humidification filter element 20 and the water supply line 13, and water flowing out from the connection between the water supply tank 10 and the water supply line 13 may naturally flow along the water supply line 13 to the connection between the humidification filter element 20 and the water supply line 13 by gravity.

This eliminates the need to install a water pump inside the humidifier for pumping the water in the water supply tank 10 into the humidifying assembly, reducing noise generated from the humidifier.

In one embodiment, the water supply tank 10 may be provided with a water amount query module, such as a water meter, a water level sensor or a visual water gauge, so that a user can intuitively know how much water remains in the water supply tank 10 of the humidifier from the outside, and thus the humidification time of the humidifier can be estimated.

Fig. 2 is a schematic structural diagram of a humidifying assembly of a humidifier according to an exemplary embodiment.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the humidifying assembly can include a humidifying filter element 20 and a water-homogenizing ring 30, and the water-homogenizing ring 30 can be fixedly connected to the humidifying filter element 20.

The humidifying filter element 20 serves to filter and accelerate evaporation of water flowing into the humidifying filter element 20, and the water-equalizing ring 30 serves to temporarily store water and supply water to the humidifying filter element 20.

In some embodiments, humidifying filter element 20 may include a filter structure, wherein a variety of filter materials may be included within the filter structure, such as mineralized stones, activated stones, small molecular stones, alkaline balls, magnetized stones, screens, ionic semipermeable membranes, and the like. The water can be filtered layer by layer through the filter structures in the plurality of humidifying filter elements 20, thereby removing impurities and a part of bacteria.

On the one hand, based on the convenience of acquireing of running water, many humidifier users are used to add water for the humidifier by using running water, but often contain many bacterias and impurity in the running water, and on the other hand, to some humidifier products that a single adds water humidification time is longer, if the humidifier user does not clear up the water tank in time, then easily foster the bacterium in the water tank under the humid environment of water tank.

The humidifier directly uses water with bacteria and impurities to perform air humidification, so that the bacteria and the impurities are blown into the air together in the working process of the humidifier, the bacteria and the impurities floating in the air are easily directly inhaled by a human body, and the respiratory system of a user is damaged. The humidifying filter element 20 can filter the water for humidification to a safe range by a filtering action, thereby preventing excessive bacteria and impurities from being blown into the air. This can avoid similar situations.

Moreover, the surface of the filter material of the humidifying filter element 20 is provided with a hole structure which can increase the contact area between water and air, thereby accelerating the evaporation rate of water and enhancing the air humidifying effect of the humidifier.

In some embodiments, the water distribution ring 30 can divide the humidifying filter element 20 into an upper half 21 and a lower half 22 with the junction with the humidifying filter element 20 as a dividing line.

In some embodiments, the water homogenizing ring 30 may be provided with a first water inlet 31, and the water homogenizing ring 30 may be further provided with a first water outlet 32. The first water outlet 32 faces or abuts the humidifying filter element 20 so that water flowing out of the first water outlet 32 can contact the humidifying filter element 20.

The first water inlet 31 may supply water to the water equalizing ring 30, and the first water outlet 32 may allow the water equalizing ring 30 to supply water to the humidifying filter element 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the water-equalizing ring 30 has a water storage 33, and the water storage 33 is used for temporarily storing the water flow, for example, the water storage 33 may store the water flow provided by the first water inlet 31 as shown in fig. 2.

The water storage portion 33 may be respectively communicated with the first water inlet 31 and the first water outlet 32, so that the water flow provided by the first water outlet 32 can flow out from the first water inlet 31, and the water-equalizing ring 30 can supply water to the humidifying filter element 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the humidifying filter element 20 can be a cylindrical structure with a hollow interior, and the water-equalizing ring 30 can be a ring shape matching the cylindrical structure of the humidifying filter element 20. This can make the water-equalizing ring 30 can be sleeved on the outer wall of the humidifying filter element 20, and facilitate the water-equalizing ring 30 to supply water to the humidifying filter element 20.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the water reservoir 33 may be a groove extending along the circumference of the water equalizing ring 30, and the water reservoir 33 may store water flow through the groove structure. The water flowing out of the water supply tank 10 naturally flows to the grooves of the water uniforming ring 30 along the water supply line 13 by gravity.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2, the first water outlet 32 may be provided at a sidewall of the groove.

In some embodiments, the water from the water-equalizing ring 30 can flow into the humidifying filter element 20 through the first water outlet 32, and the water flowing into the humidifying filter element 20 can flow toward the lower end of the humidifying filter element 20 and further flow into the lower half 22 of the humidifying filter element under the action of gravity.

When the lower half 22 is full of water, the interior of the filter structure in the humidifying filter element 20 forms fine gaps, which can be referred to as capillaries, and can generate capillary action. Thus, the water in the lower half 22 can transport water to the upper half 21 by capillary action, wetting the upper half 21 of the humidifying filter element 20.

Through the gravity action and the capillary phenomenon principle, each part of the humidifying filter element 20 can have water flowing in, and then the humidifying filter element 20 keeps a better evaporation effect.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the water distribution ring 30 is disposed between the upper end and the lower end of the humidification cartridge 20 along the height direction of the humidification cartridge 20, i.e., the Z-axis direction in the drawing. And the distance from the upper end of the humidification filter element 20 to the water-equalizing ring 30 is equal to or less than the distance from the lower end of the humidification filter element 20 to the water-equalizing ring 30.

When the upper half 21 sucks water from the lower half 22 to the upper half 21 through the capillary phenomenon principle, the lower half 22 is filled with water, which causes water to start flowing out from the lower half 22 of the humidifying filter element 20, and the upper end of the humidifying filter element 20 is still in a water-free state, if the duration of the condition is too long, the utilization efficiency of the humidifying filter element 20 on water is reduced, so that the humidifying effect of the humidifier is reduced, and the time for water to enter the upper half 21 of the humidifying filter element 20 through the capillary phenomenon principle is later, the speed is slower, and the humidifying starting speed of the humidifier is reduced.

The above problem can be improved by changing the length relationship between the distance from the upper end of the humidification filter element 20 to the water-equalizing ring 30 and the distance from the lower end of the humidification filter element 20 to the water-equalizing ring 30. Specifically, by changing the position of the water equalizing ring 30 in the height direction of the humidifying filter element 20, the distance from the water equalizing ring 30 to the upper end is shortened, and the distance from the water equalizing ring 30 to the lower end is lengthened, so that the time point when water starts to flow to the upper half portion 21 is advanced, and the time required for the water to fill the upper half portion 21 is shortened. This increases the efficiency of water utilization by the humidifying filter element 20 and increases the humidification start-up speed of the humidifier.

The closer the water distribution ring 30 is disposed to the upper end of the humidification filter element 20, the shorter the time required for water to reach the upper end of the humidification filter element 20, the higher the water utilization efficiency of the humidification filter element 20, and the faster the humidification start-up speed of the humidifier. However, as the position of the water-equalizing ring 30 is gradually increased, in order to ensure that the water supply tank 10 can still supply water to the humidifying filter element 20 and the water-equalizing ring 30 normally under the action of gravity, the height difference between the water supply tank 10 and the latter water-equalizing ring needs to be maintained, that is, the horizontal height of the water supply tank 10 needs to be increased along with the horizontal height of the water-equalizing ring 30. Raising the water supply tank 10 just needs to increase the humidifier in step, causes the humidifier volume grow, and occupation space increases, has brought the inconvenience for user's house is placed. And the higher water supply tank 10 may cause the center of gravity of the humidifier to rise, thereby lowering the stability of the humidifier, so that the humidifier has a risk of rollover.

In some embodiments, the humidifier may be a pumpless humidifier because the soaking ring 30 can smoothly wet the humidifying filter element 20 without a water pump by capillary phenomenon and gravity.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the water supply line 13 is provided with an electrically controlled water valve 11, and the electrically controlled water valve 11 can control the flow rate of water in the water supply line 13, and thus the flow rate of water out of the water supply tank 10 and whether water in the water supply tank 10 flows out.

Specifically, for example, the electrically controlled water valve 11 may be a stepless adjusting switch, and may gradually close or gradually open the water supply line 13. The flow rate of the water in the water supply line 13 and the outflow rate of the water from the water supply tank 10 are controlled by controlling the degree of opening or closing of the switch, i.e., the minimum cross-sectional area of the water flow. The electrically controlled water valve 11 can be closed completely, and at this time, the water in the water supply pipeline 13 stops flowing, and the water in the water supply tank 10 does not flow out any more.

In some embodiments, the flow rate of water in the water supply tank 10 flowing into the humidification filter element 20 and the water distribution ring 30 can be controlled by closing or opening the electrically controlled water valve 11, that is, the electrically controlled water valve 11 can control the amount of water supplied from the water supply tank 10 to the humidification filter element 20 and the water distribution ring 30 per unit time. When the water in the humidification filter element 20 is not enough, the water flow of the water supply tank 10 can be increased, water is supplemented for the humidification filter element 20, when the water in the humidification filter element 20 is too much, the water flow of the water supply tank 10 can be reduced, the humidification filter element 20 is prevented from flowing out of the humidification filter element 20 in a large amount, and the utilization efficiency of the humidification filter element 20 on the water is improved.

In other embodiments, the control of the amount of humidification of the humidifier may also be accomplished by controlling the supply tank 10 with the electrically controlled water valve 11. For example, when the user sets the humidifier to a high humidification amount mode, the electrically controlled water valve 11 may increase the flow rate of the water in the water supply tank 10, thereby increasing the water possessed by the humidification filter element 20, increasing the total evaporation amount of the water, and thus enhancing the humidification effect. When the user sets the humidifier to the low humidification amount mode, the electrically controlled water valve 11 may reduce the flow rate of the water supply tank 10, thereby reducing the water owned by the humidification filter element 20, reducing the total evaporation amount of the water, and reducing the humidification effect.

In other embodiments, the electrically controlled water valve 11 may be disposed on the water supply tank 10.

In some embodiments, the humidifier further includes a water receiving tank 40, a water level gauge 41 disposed in cooperation with the water receiving tank 40, and a controller (not shown).

Wherein, water receiving tank 40 can set up in the below of humidification filter core 20, and when the water in the humidification filter core 20 was too much, the water of humidification filter core 20 can flow from humidification filter core 20 to fall into water receiving tank 40, water receiving tank 40 is used for the storage surplus moisture in the humidification filter core. The water level gauge 41 is arranged in the water receiving tank 40, the water level gauge 41 can monitor the water level in the water receiving tank 40 and feed back the monitored water level information to the controller, and the controller can be connected with the electric control water valve 11, so that the controller can control the water storage capacity of the electric control water valve 11 according to the water level information fed back by the water level gauge 41.

For example, when the flow rate of the water in the water supply tank 10 controlled by the electrically controlled water valve 11 is too large, more water may not be evaporated yet, and the water may flow out of the humidification filter element 20 and fall into the water receiving tank 40, which may reduce the water utilization efficiency of the humidifier, and at this time, the water level in the water receiving tank 40 is higher, and the water level gauge 41 may monitor the water level in the water receiving tank 40, and feed back the water level condition of the water receiving tank 40 to the controller, which sends the first signal to the electrically controlled water valve 11, and the electrically controlled water valve 11 may reduce the flow rate of the water in the water supply tank 10 after receiving the relevant signal, thereby reducing the amount of the water delivered from the water supply tank 10 to the humidification filter element 20, and reducing the amount of the water directly flowing out of the humidification filter element 20, thereby improving the water utilization efficiency of the humidifier.

When the water flow of the water supply tank 10 is too small, the amount of water in the humidification filter element 20 is insufficient, less water or no water falls into the water receiving tank 40, the amount of water in the humidification filter element 20 is too small, the total evaporation amount of water can be reduced, and the humidification effect of the humidifier is further reduced. At this time, the water level of the water receiving tank 40 is low, the water level meter 41 can monitor the water level of the water receiving tank 40 and feed back the water level condition of the water receiving tank 40 to the controller, the controller sends a second signal to the electric control water valve 11, and the electric control water valve 11 can increase the water flow of the water supply tank 10 after receiving the relevant signal, so that the water quantity delivered to the humidifying filter element 20 by the water supply tank 10 is increased, the water quantity in the humidifying filter element 20 is increased, and the humidifying effect of the humidifier is recovered.

In some embodiments, the humidifier further includes a housing 50, an air filter 60, an air intake 70, a blower assembly 80, and an air outlet 90. The air filter element 60 is disposed inside the housing 50, the air inlet 70 is disposed on a side wall of the housing 50, and the air outlet 90 is disposed at an upper portion of the housing 50 and adjacent to the air outlet 90.

The intake vent 70 is adjacent the air filter 60, and the air filter 60 may cover the intake vent 70, with the air filter 60 being in communication with ambient air through the intake vent 70.

In some embodiments, the air filter 60 may be disposed on the side of the humidifying assembly such that air drawn in by the air inlet 70 may reach the humidifying assembly as quickly as possible.

In some embodiments, the fan assembly 80 may be a fan.

In some embodiments, the blower assembly 80 may create a negative pressure zone within the humidifier such that the humidifier may draw ambient air from the air intake 70 into the humidifier.

In some embodiments, the air inlet 70 may be configured as a filter net structure, and the air inlet 70 of the filter net structure may primarily filter large impurities, so as to prevent impurities with a size larger than the mesh diameter of the filter screen from entering the interior of the humidifier and damaging the interior of the humidifier.

After entering the humidifier through the air inlet 70, the air needs to pass through the air filter 60, and the air filter 60 can filter the air to prevent impurities in the air from contaminating the interior of the humidifier, especially the humidification filter 20.

In other embodiments, the humidifier may not have an air filter element 60, and the humidification element 20 may serve to filter air. However, the humidifying filter element 20 is more susceptible to contamination during air filtration, requiring relatively more frequent replacement or cleaning of the humidifying filter element 20.

In some embodiments, the fan assembly 80 may be disposed above the humidification cartridge 20. For an evaporative humidifier, the fan assembly 80 can make the air in the humidifier flow rapidly, so that the flow rate of the gas on the water surface of the humidifying filter element 20 is increased, and the faster the flow rate on the water surface is, the higher the evaporation rate of the liquid is, so that the air accelerated by the fan assembly 80 can accelerate the evaporation rate of the water in the humidifying filter element 20, and more water can be evaporated into water vapor in unit time, thereby increasing the humidity of the air blown out by the humidifier, and enhancing the air humidifying effect of the humidifier. In the present embodiment, the wind speed near the fan assembly 80 is the largest, and the fan assembly 80 is disposed above the humidification filter element 20, so as to maximize the speed of evaporating the water in the humidification filter element 20 into water vapor.

After the humidifier humidifies the air, the fan assembly 80 can blow the humidified air or water mist out of the humidifier, and can blow the humidified air or water mist out of the humidifier at a distance farther from the humidifier, so that the humidified air or water mist is prevented from being distributed near the humidifier, and the condensate water stain of the humidified air or water mist near the humidifier is avoided, and the humidifying effect of the humidifier on a space to be humidified is more uniform.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the outlet 90 may be disposed at an upper portion of the housing 50, and a radial direction of the outlet 90 is directed in the Z-axis direction as shown in the figure, i.e., above the humidifier. The humidifying assembly may be disposed inside the housing 50 and opposite to the air outlet 90, so that air humidified by the humidifying assembly may be more easily blown to the air outlet 90. The fan assembly 80 may be disposed at an upper portion of the housing 50, and the blowing direction of the fan assembly 80 may also be directed in the Z-axis direction as shown, i.e., above the humidifier. This allows the moist air or mist to be blown out by the fan assembly 80 and then to be blown into the higher air and spread to the surrounding air in the process of being slowly dropped, avoiding the accumulation of a large amount of mist and condensation of water near the humidifier.

In some embodiments, the fan assembly 80 can be adjusted to different rotation speeds according to different humidification gears, and the higher the rotation speed of the fan assembly 80 is, the faster the air flow rate in the humidifier is, and the higher the water evaporation amount of the humidification filter element 20 is.

In some embodiments, the housing 50 may further include a filler 12, and the filler 12 may be disposed on the housing 50 directly above the supply tank 10, e.g., as shown in fig. 1, water may enter from the filler 12 and then fall directly into the supply tank 10. The water filling port 12 provided right above the water supply tank 10 can facilitate direct water filling operation by a user, and provides convenience to the user.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the housing 50 has chambers therein, including the water supply chamber 14, the humidification chamber 15, and the filter chamber 16.

The water supply chamber 14 may be used to house the water supply tank 10, the humidification chamber 15 may be used to house the humidification assembly and fan assembly 80, and the filter chamber 16 may be used to house the air filter 60.

In some embodiments, because the humidification chamber 15 may include the humidification module and the fan module 80 disposed in the vertical direction, the humidification chamber 15 is higher than the water supply chamber 14 and the filter chamber 16, and for the above reasons, the water supply chamber 14 and the filter chamber 16 may be disposed at the side of the humidification chamber 15, respectively, which may reduce the volume of the humidifier product and make the appearance beautiful.

Since the position of the water supply tank 10 needs to be higher than the position of the humidifying assembly, the water supply chamber 14 may be disposed above the filter chamber 16 so as to dispose the water supply tank 10 at a higher position.
