In other embodiments, the noise reduction structure 10 may also be disposed directly within the mist outlet duct 330.

The noise reduction structure 10 includes baffle plates 100 and liquid baffle plates 300 arranged at intervals, wherein the baffle plates 100 and the liquid baffle plates 300 can be respectively and independently connected to the housing 30; or the baffle 100 may be connected to the housing 30, and the baffle 300 may be connected to the baffle 100 by other structural members; alternatively, the baffle 300 may be connected to the housing 30, and the baffle 100 may be connected to the baffle 300 by other structural members.

The baffle 100 may be a flat plate, an arc plate, or a plate-like structure with other shapes, and in the embodiment of the present utility model, the baffle 100 is a flat plate structure. In addition, the shape of the baffle 100 may be designed according to the needs, for example, the baffle 100 may be a square plate, a circular plate, or other shapes.

The liquid baffle 300 may be a flat plate, an arc plate, or a plate-like structure with other shapes, and in the embodiment of the present utility model, the liquid baffle 300 is a flat plate structure. In addition, the shape of the liquid blocking plate 300 may be designed according to the requirement, for example, the liquid blocking plate 300 may be a square plate, a circular plate or other shapes.

The deflector 100 is provided with a water mist through hole 110 opposite to the oscillator 50, and the liquid baffle 300 is arranged on one side of the water mist through hole 110 away from the oscillator 50. Because the oscillator 50 can splash the drop of water or water column during operation, for the convenience of description, all explain with the drop of water later, keep off the liquid board 300 and can block the drop of water that the oscillator 50 splashed, help reducing the drop of water and splash the height to shorten the distance of drop of water and surface of water, thereby noise that produces when can reduce the drop of water and fall back to the surface of water.

In addition, the liquid baffle 300 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction, so that the liquid baffle 300 can play a role in guiding flow, so that the liquid on the surface of the liquid baffle 300 is guided to the guide plate 100 by the liquid baffle 300 and then flows to the water surface through the guide plate 100, the distance between the water drops and the water surface is further shortened, and noise generated when the water drops flow to the water surface can be further reduced.

In some embodiments, the liquid baffle 300 may include a first connecting portion 310 and a second connecting portion 320 connected to each other, where a distance between the first connecting portion 310 and the oscillator 50 is smaller than a distance between the second connecting portion 320 and the oscillator 50, and specifically, a perpendicular distance between the first connecting portion 310 and the oscillator 50 is smaller than a perpendicular distance between the second connecting portion 320 and the oscillator 50. Therefore, the liquid baffle 300 can guide the liquid on the surface of the second connecting portion 320 to the first connecting portion 310, and flow to the deflector 100 through the first connecting portion 310, and then flow to the water surface through the deflector 100, so that the distance between the water drops and the water surface can be shortened, and the noise generated when the water drops to the water surface can be reduced.

The first connection portion 310 and the second connection portion 320 may be connected to form a complete plate structure, that is, the first connection portion 310 and the second connection portion 320 may be connected to form the liquid baffle 300, for example, the liquid baffle 300 may be an integrally formed structure, for example, an injection molding piece.

The shapes of the first and second connection parts 310 and 320 may be different according to the shape of the liquid blocking plate 300. For example, in the case where the liquid baffle 300 is a generally circular plate, the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 may be two portions of the liquid baffle 300 that are distributed in the radial direction. For example, the first connecting portion 310 may be a semicircular portion, the second connecting portion 320 may be another semicircular portion, and a junction between the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 may have an obvious boundary or no boundary.

Also for example, in the case where the liquid baffle 300 is a generally oval plate, the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 may be two portions of the liquid baffle 300 that are distributed along the long axis. For example, the first connecting portion 310 may be a semi-elliptical portion, the second connecting portion 320 may be another semi-elliptical portion, and the junction between the first connecting portion 310 and the second connecting portion 320 may have an obvious boundary or no boundary.

In some embodiments, the noise reduction structure 10 may further include a flow guiding strip 500, where the flow guiding strip 500 is connected between the flow guiding plate 100 and the first connecting portion 310, so that the liquid on the surface of the liquid blocking plate 300 may flow to the flow guiding plate 100 along the flow guiding strip 500, which helps to avoid the liquid on the liquid blocking plate 300 from directly dropping onto the flow guiding plate 100, so that the drop of water drops can be reduced, and the noise generated during the operation of the humidifier 1 is further reduced.

In some embodiments, the flow-guiding strip 500 may include a first end and a second end disposed along the length direction, i.e., the first end and the second end may be two ends of the flow-guiding strip 500 along the length direction. The first end is connected to the baffle 100, the second end is connected to the first connection portion 310, and the distance between the first end and the axis of the water mist through hole 110 is greater than the distance between the second end and the axis of the water mist through hole 110, so that the flow guiding strip 500 can extend outwards from the baffle 300, specifically, the flow guiding strip 500 can extend downwards from the baffle 300 to the outside, thus, the liquid on the surface of the baffle 300 can smoothly flow to the baffle 100 through the flow guiding strip 500, and the flow guiding performance of the flow guiding strip 500 is improved. The flow path of the liquid on the surface of the liquid baffle 300 is approximately: the second connection 320-first connection 310-second end-first end-deflector 100-water surface and/or the second connection 320-first connection 310-second end-first end-deflector 100-inner side wall of housing 30-water surface.

In some embodiments, the noise reduction structure 10 may include a plurality of flow guiding strips 500, and the plurality of flow guiding strips 500 may guide the liquid on the surface of the liquid baffle 300 to the flow guiding plate 100 more, so as to help to improve the flow guiding performance of the flow guiding strips 500, reduce the situation that the liquid on the surface of the liquid baffle 300 directly drops to the water surface, and further reduce noise.

In some embodiments, the plurality of flow guide strips 500 may be distributed between the flow guide plate 100 and the first connection portion 310 at intervals, so that a gap may be formed between two adjacent flow guide strips 500, so that a flow space may be provided for the water mist, which is helpful for ensuring normal flow of the water mist, and improving humidification performance of the humidifier 1.

In some embodiments, the baffle 100 may be inclined relative to the horizontal and aligned with the direction of inclination of the baffle 300. Thus, the baffle 100 can guide the liquid flowing down from the baffle 300 to the water surface in the inclined direction, and the baffle 100 can guide the liquid flowing down from the mist outlet 331 to the water surface in the same inclined direction, which helps to avoid noise generated by the liquid flowing to the water surface in any direction due to the surface of the baffle 100 being the horizontal plane.

In some embodiments, the angle of inclination of the baffle 100 and the angle of inclination of the baffle 300 may be substantially the same relative to the horizontal.

In some embodiments, the oscillator 50 may be inclined with respect to the horizontal, for example, the angle of inclination of the oscillator 50 with respect to the horizontal may be 3 degrees or more and 5 degrees or less, thereby helping to promote the atomization ability of the oscillator 50.

In some embodiments, the tilting directions of the liquid baffle 300 and the oscillator 50 may be substantially the same, and since the oscillator 50 is tilted with respect to the horizontal direction, the water drops splashed by the oscillator 50 may have an inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction, setting the tilting directions of the liquid baffle 300 and the oscillator 50 to be substantially the same improves the blocking capability of the liquid baffle 300 to the water drops splashed by the oscillator 50, and the liquid baffle 300 does not need to be set to a large-sized structure, so that the influence of the liquid baffle 300 on the flow of water mist may be avoided.

Specifically, when the inclination angle of the liquid baffle 300 is too large, the projection area of the surface of the liquid baffle 300 on the horizontal plane is reduced, so that the capability of the liquid baffle 300 for blocking the water drops is reduced, the liquid baffle 300 cannot block the water drops splashed by the oscillator 50 completely, and the water drops directly fall back to the water surface after being splashed to a higher height, so that larger noise is generated. When the inclination angle of the liquid blocking plate 300 is too small, the inclination angle of the liquid blocking plate 300 is reduced, so that the water drops are not guided to the guide plate 100 after contacting the liquid blocking plate 300, but directly fall back to the water surface, and larger noise is generated.

In some embodiments, the baffle 100 is provided with the water leakage through holes 120, so that the liquid on the surface of the baffle 100 can flow to the water surface through the water leakage through holes 120, which helps to avoid water accumulation on the surface of the baffle 100, and when the humidifier 1 slightly vibrates, the water accumulation flows to the water surface in a large amount, so that larger noise is generated.

In some embodiments, the baffle 100 includes a first edge 130 and a second edge 140, where the distance between the first edge 130 and the oscillator 50 is smaller than the distance between the second edge 140 and the oscillator 50, specifically, the perpendicular distance between the first edge 130 and the oscillator 50 is smaller than the perpendicular distance between the second edge 140 and the oscillator 50, so that the liquid near the second edge 140 can flow to the first edge 130.

The first edge 130 may be opposite to the second edge 140, for example, the first edge 130 and the second edge 140 may be disposed opposite to each other on two sides of the baffle 100.

In some embodiments, the water leakage through holes 120 are close to the first edge 130, and the water mist through holes 110 are close to the second edge 140, which helps to make the position of the water leakage through holes 120 on the baffle 100 relatively lower, so that the liquid on the surface of the baffle 100 can flow to the water leakage through holes 120 along the slope of the baffle 100, and then flow to the water surface through the water leakage through holes 120, thereby improving the water leakage performance of the water leakage through holes 120 and the noise reduction performance of the noise reduction structure.

In some embodiments, the noise reducing structure 10 may further include a housing connector 700 for connecting the noise reducing structure 10 to the housing 30, the housing connector 700 being disposed about the baffle 100. The shape of the housing connecting member 700 may be set according to the shape of the housing 30, so that the housing connecting member 700 may be attached to the housing 30, which helps to avoid a gap between the housing connecting member 700 and the housing 30, thereby generating noise when wind passes through the gap, and improving the noise reduction performance of the noise reduction structure 10.

The housing connector 700 may be attached to the housing 30 by means of adhesive, snap fit, or the like. In the embodiment of the present utility model, the housing connector 700 may be connected to the housing 30 by a snap-fit manner. Specifically, the housing connection member 700 may include a housing connection portion 710 and a first clamping portion 720, the housing connection portion 710 may be disposed around the deflector 100, and a tuyere is provided between the housing connection portion 710 and the deflector 100, or the housing connection member 700 may be provided with a tuyere, so that a flow space may be provided for the flow of wind to drive the water mist to flow. The first clamping portion 720 may be connected to the housing connecting portion 710, the housing 30 may be provided with the second clamping portion 350, and during installation, the first clamping portion 720 may be clamped to the second clamping portion 350, and the housing connecting portion 710 may be attached to the housing 30, thereby completing installation of the noise reduction structure 10.

The first clamping portion 720 may be a buckle, and the second clamping portion 350 may be a buckle groove.

In some embodiments, the noise reduction structure 10 may be an integrally formed structure, for example, the noise reduction structure 10 may be an injection molded piece.

The embodiment of the utility model also provides a humidifier 1, the humidifier 1 includes a housing 30, an oscillator 50, and the noise reduction structure 10 in any of the above embodiments, where the oscillator 50 and the noise reduction structure 10 are disposed in the housing 30. Because the humidifier 1 includes the noise reduction structure 10, the humidifier 1 has all the beneficial effects of the noise reduction structure 10, and will not be described in detail herein.

In some embodiments, the liquid baffle 300 may be spaced from the housing 30, so that a gap may be formed between the liquid baffle 300 and the housing 30, so that the water mist may flow more smoothly, which helps to avoid the liquid baffle 300 from affecting the flow of the water mist, and thus helps to promote the humidification effect of the humidifier 1. In addition, because the noise reduction structure 10 is located below the mist outlet 331, and a gap is formed between the liquid baffle 300 and the housing 30, a gap can be formed between the liquid baffle 300 and the inner wall of the mist outlet channel 330, so that water mist can flow more smoothly, a detour path of the water mist is reduced, the mist outlet amount of the humidifier 1 is improved, and the humidifying performance of the humidifier 1 is improved.

In some embodiments, the noise reducing structure 10 is opposite to the oscillator 50, and the noise reducing structure 10 is disposed at a position far from the upper side of the housing 30 and close to the oscillator 50, so that the distance between the noise reducing structure 10 and the oscillator 50 can be shortened, which helps to shorten the distance from the liquid on the noise reducing structure 10 to the water surface, thereby reducing the noise generated when the liquid falls from the noise reducing structure 10 to the water surface, and improving the noise generated when the humidifier 1 works.

The liquid baffle 300 is inclined relative to the horizontal direction, so that the liquid baffle 300 can play a role in guiding flow, so that liquid on the surface of the liquid baffle 300 is guided to the guide plate 100 by the liquid baffle 300 and then flows to the water surface through the guide plate 100, the distance between the water drops and the water surface is further shortened, and noise generated when the water drops flow to the water surface can be further reduced.
