Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the disclosure, an atomization module 10 includes:

a mist generating assembly 20 for generating a mist of water;

and a projection assembly 30 for projecting a patterned spot of light toward the mist.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the atomizing module 10 may be applied to some electronic products requiring atomization, such as a humidifier. Or can be applied to products requiring special effects of water mist, such as some stage props. The embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited to the examples described above.

In some embodiments, the projection assembly 30 may be positioned in any suitable orientation of the misting assembly 20.

For example, the projection assembly 30 may be positioned below the misting assembly 20, and the projection assembly 30 may project an upward mist of water.

For another example, the projection assembly 30 may be located above the misting assembly 20, and the projection assembly 30 may project a downward mist.

Still alternatively, the projection assembly 30 may be positioned in any orientation around the misting assembly 20, as long as the projection assembly 30 can project onto the misting assembly 20.

In some embodiments, the atomizing assembly 20 includes at least a liquid reservoir 21 and an atomizing plate 22, wherein the atomizing plate 22 can atomize the liquid in the liquid reservoir 21 into a mist, thereby emitting the mist into the air.

The pattern may be, but is not limited to, one of the following:

an aurora;

performing nepheline;

an animal;

and (5) a plant.

In some embodiments, the pattern may also be a single color or a mixture of colors.

Therefore, the water mist has various display effects, and the display diversity is increased. Compared with single white water mist, the interest is increased.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the projection assembly 30 includes:

a picture 31 having the pattern (not shown);

a light source 32 positioned below the picture 31 and emitting light to the picture 31;

and a lens assembly 33, located above the picture 31, for receiving the light transmitted through the picture 31 and projecting the light to the water mist.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the picture 31 may be a film, or may be a transparent or hollowed-out drawing or paper-cut sheet.

Here, different portions of the pattern in the picture 31 may have different thicknesses and/or different colors or grayscales. So that different light transmittances can be produced.

When the light source 32 emits light to the picture 31, the transmittance of the picture is different due to the pattern. So that patterned or colored light can be projected onto the mist.

In some embodiments, the lens assembly 33 may receive and emit light through the picture 31.

In particular, when the light source 32 is turned on, the light is transmitted through the pattern portion of the picture 31 to form patterned light having different brightness and/or different color. When the patterned light is refracted by the lens assembly 33, it is projected onto the fog above the lens assembly 33.

In some embodiments, since the water mist is stereoscopic, the light spots projected on the water mist are also stereoscopic, resulting in a water mist with a stereoscopic display effect. If there is a single or a mixture of colors, the colors that impinge on the mist are also varied.

For example, if the pattern is colored with respect to nepheline, light transmitted through the pattern is projected onto the mist, such that the mist has a nepheline display effect.

Here, the color of the nepheline includes, but is not limited to, one or a combination of the following:

the color of the orange color system;

the color of the yellow color system;

the color of the red color system;

the color of the purple color system;

the color of the powder system.

For another example, if there is a color combination on the pattern related to the aurora, the light transmitted through the pattern is projected on the fog, so that the fog has an aurora display effect.

Here, the color of the aurora includes, but is not limited to, one or a combination of the following:

a green color;

the color of the purple color system;

the color of the red color system;

blue color.

As another example, the pattern content on the picture includes, but is not limited to, one or a combination of the following:

a font;

a character;

an animal;

scenery;

cartoon characters;

drawing.

Therefore, when various patterns are projected on the water mist, the water mist can be provided with picture content or color, and the display diversity of the water mist is improved.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, 2 and 3, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the picture 31 has a plurality of patterns;

the atomizing module 10 further includes:

a driving assembly 40 for adjusting the position of the picture 31 to the light source 32 so that the projecting assembly 30 projects different patterns to the water mist.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the plurality of patterns of the picture 31 may be rotated relative to a center point, which may be referred to as a pattern rotation center point. The drive assembly 40 may drive rotation of the picture 31.

Here, a portion of the driving assembly 40 may be disposed at a rotation center point with the pattern and connected with each pattern. The patterns can be separated or overlapped.

In some embodiments, when a portion of the driving assembly 40 needs to rotate any one of the patterns, the portion may be connected to the any one of the patterns, where the connection manner may be one of the following:

the buckle is connected;

and (5) hinging.

So that the drive assembly 40 can rotate to bring any number of patterns connected. When the rotating assembly 40 does not rotate any one of the patterns, the connection with the any one of the patterns may be disconnected.

Here, it should be noted that each pattern is provided on a sub-picture of the picture 31.

In practice, when the driving component 40 drives, one of the patterns is driven to rotate to a projection area formed directly above the light source 32 and directly below the lens component 33, so that the one pattern can be projected on the water mist. When another pattern needs to be switched, the other pattern can be rotated to be directly above the light source 32 and directly below the lens assembly 33, so that the other pattern can be projected on the water mist.

In this way, it is achieved that the drive assembly 40 can effect the projection of different patterns onto the mist.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the disclosure, the lens assembly 33 includes:

a lens 331, the lens 331 being opposite to the picture 31 and being located above the picture 31;

a light-transmitting housing 332 located above the lens 331; wherein the light-transmitting housing 332 is opposite to the mist.

In some embodiments, the lens 331 may be a lens with a refractive index that is enlarged or reduced by the lens 331 when the light passes through the picture 31.

Here, a cavity is formed between the light-transmitting housing 332 and the lens 331 for transmitting the amplified light.

In some embodiments, portions of the light-transmissive housing 331 encase components such as the lens, picture, and drive components.

Thus, the light-transmitting shell 331 can protect internal structures or components and reduce pollution of pollutants to the internal structures.

In practice, the light passes through the picture, and after being refracted by the lens 331, the light irradiates the water mist through the light-transmitting housing 332.

In this way, it is achieved that the lens assembly 33 achieves refraction and transmission of light so that a pattern can be projected on the mist.

As shown in connection with fig. 1, 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the present disclosure,

the lens 331 is a light-diffusing lens, and is used for refracting and diffusing the light transmitted through the picture 31 into the water mist;

the light-transmitting housing 332 is used for the light to pass through and to be projected on the water mist.

In the embodiment of the disclosure, the lens 331 may be a concave lens with a light diverging effect, and when parallel light is deflected by a concave spherical lens, the light diverges, which is called divergent light.

Here, the concave lens may be a convex-concave lens, i.e., a lens with one convex surface and the other concave surface. The concave surface is one surface for absorbing parallel light rays. The convex surface is the side of the divergent light ray. The material of the lens 31 may be glass or plastic.

In practice, after the light passes through the picture 31, refraction is generated by the lens 331, so that the light with the pattern on the picture 31 has a divergent and magnified effect.

Thus, the light with the enlarged pattern can be better and more greatly projected on the water mist, and can be clearly displayed to a user.

In some embodiments, the transparent housing 332 may be made of a transparent material such as glass or plastic, so that the light passing through the lens 331 may be projected onto the mist.

Here, the shape of the light-transmitting housing 332 includes, but is not limited to, one or a combination of the following:

a curved surface;

a plane;

a polyhedron or a portion of a polyhedron.

Here, the light-transmitting housing 332 itself may be provided with some color or pattern, combined with the pattern or color of the picture 31, so as to be projected together on the mist.

For example, the pattern of the picture 31 may have blue color, and the light-transmitting housing 332 may have yellow color, then the color projected on the mist is green.

For another example, a cartoon character may be disposed on the transparent casing 331, and the picture 31 is a pattern with a landscape, and the water mist is projected with a combination of the cartoon character and the landscape.

For another example, the transparent casing 331 may have a color, and the picture 31 may have a cartoon character, and the water mist may be projected with the cartoon character and the color combined.

In this way, the diversity and the three-dimensional degree of the pattern irradiated on the mist can be improved.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, in an embodiment of the disclosure, a driving shaft 41 of the driving assembly 40 is connected to the picture 31, and the driving shaft 41 is used to adjust a position of the picture 31 aligned with the light source 32.

In some embodiments, the drive assembly 40 may be a motor. A driving shaft 41 of the driving assembly 40 is connected to one end of the picture 31, and the driving shaft 41 can rotate the picture 31.

Here, the picture 31 may have any shape such as a square, a circle, or a polygon. The driving shaft 41 may be connected to the edge and/or the center of the picture 31, and may rotate the picture 31 when the driving shaft 41 rotates.

In some embodiments, the drive shaft 41 may adjust the position at which the picture 31 is rotationally aligned with the light source 32 when the picture 31 is not aligned with the light source 32, e.g., not directly above the light source 32.

Therefore, the light emitted by the light source 32 can fully penetrate the picture 31, so that the pattern on the picture 31 can be completely penetrated by the light as much as possible. So that the pattern can be projected onto the water mist as completely as possible, and the occurrence of pattern projection missing is reduced.

In some embodiments, the atomizing module further comprises: an alignment assembly (not shown) disposed around the picture 31 for detecting whether the picture 31 is aligned;

a control module (not shown) coupled to the alignment assembly and the drive assembly 40.

In an embodiment, if the alignment component detects that the picture is misaligned, a misalignment signal may be transmitted to the control module. After receiving the misalignment signal, the control module controls the driving assembly 40 to drive the driving shaft 41 to rotate, so as to drive the picture 31 to rotate and align.

Correspondingly, when the alignment component detects that the picture 31 is aligned, an alignment signal can be transmitted to the control module, and the control module transmits and controls the driving component 40 to stop rotating, so that the picture 31 stops rotating after being aligned.

In this way, alignment of the pictures 31 can be achieved.

And the pattern has a certain dynamic display effect along with the rotation of the picture 31 and the drift of the water mist.

the light source 32 includes:

an LED light emitting diode.

In some embodiments, the light source can efficiently convert electric energy into light energy due to the fact that the LED emits energy through electron and hole recombination, and display response speed is high.

In other embodiments, the light source 32 may further include, but is not limited to, one or a combination of the following:

a photoluminescent material;

an electroluminescent material.

Here, the light source 32 may be of any color or multi-color, so that a multi-color projection effect may be provided.

the misting assembly 20 comprises:

a liquid storage tank 21;

an atomizing plate 22 located above the liquid storage tank 21, the atomizing plate 22 being used for atomizing the liquid in the liquid storage tank 21 into the water mist;

a first mist outlet 24 located above the mist outlet duct 23 and opposite to the mist outlet duct 23;

a second mist outlet 25 located around the mist outlet channel 23 and communicating with the mist outlet channel 23; wherein the second mist outlet 25 surrounds the first mist outlet 24, and the projection assembly 30 is located between the first mist outlet 24 and the second mist outlet 25.

In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the liquid stored in the liquid storage tank 21 may be water, water added with disinfectant and/or perfume, or the like.

In some embodiments, the atomizing sheet 22 may be an ultrasonic atomizing sheet. The atomizing sheet can utilize electron high-frequency oscillation to spray the liquid water molecular structure to generate natural and elegant water mist.

Here, the mist outlet passage 23 is opposed to the atomizing sheet 22.

In practice, the atomizing plate 22 atomizes the liquid in the liquid storage tank 21 into water mist, and then the water mist moves along the mist outlet channel 23 until moving to the first mist outlet 24 and/or the second mist outlet 25. So that the water mist escapes from the first mist outlet 24 or the second mist outlet 25 to humidify the air.

Here, the mist escapes along the second mist outlet 25, or the mist escapes partially around the first mist outlet 24.

In this way, humidification of the air by the mist can be achieved.

the first mist outlet 24 is a hollow circular opening;

the second mist outlet 25 is a circular ring-shaped opening surrounding the first mist outlet 24.

In some embodiments, the water mist as it escapes from the first mist outlet 24 is circular in cross-section. The water mist escaping from the second mist outlet 25 is circular in cross section.

Thus, the water mist can escape from the two mist outlets, and can form various shapes.

In the disclosed embodiment, when the blower 61 is operated, air is drawn into the accommodating chamber 51 of the humidifier, and the air is supplied into the air duct 62. Since the air duct 62 communicates with the mist outlet duct 23, the wind in the air duct flows toward the mist, and the mist humidifies the wind entering the mist outlet duct. And the wind accelerates the speed of the water mist movement.

In this way, the air with water mist can be sent into the air, so that the air outside the humidifier is humidified.
