Abstract
A fog machine with continuous water supply is disclosed, comprising: a main body provided with a fog outlet, a circuit board inside the main body, a water tank at a bottom of the main body, a fog generator in the water tank and electrically connected with the circuit board, a water reservoir above the water tank, a water filling port at a bottom of the water reservoir, and a water filling switch at the water filling port and controlled by a water level of the water tank, wherein the space above the water tank is in communication with the fog outlet. The water filling switch controls the water in the water reservoir flowing into the water tank, wherein the opening and closing of the switch depends on the water level of the water tank. If the level becomes high, the switch is automatically closed and water supply is stopped, and if the level becomes low, the switch is automatically opened and water supply is started. The water tank where fog is generated is separated from the water reservoir, such that the fog will not flow into the water reservoir and thus will not influence adding water into the water reservoir during the fog generating process. Therefore, adding water does not require stopping the machine and does not influence the fog generating process, and therefore the fog generating process can be conducted continuously.

- In conventional fog machines, the fog generating chamber is formed by the entirety of the inner chamber of its main body. In this configuration, high water level will adversely affect fog generating effect, while low water level means a pool water storage capacity, which requires frequent water re-supply. Since the water tank and the fog generating chamber is in the same chamber, a large amount of fog as generated will flow out when the water re-supply window is opened, making it difficult to find out the water supply point to successfully supply water. In this case, the fog spraying has to be stopped to allow for water re-supply, and then re-started after the water re-supply is completed. Therefore, a continuous fog spray cannot be achieved. Frequent water re-supply requires frequent stop of fog spray, such that a stage effect with continuous fog spray can hardly be obtained.
