Definitions
- the present invention relates to a fog machine, and particularly to a fog machine with continuous water supply.
- the fog generating chamber is formed by the entirety of the inner chamber of its main body.
- high water level will adversely affect fog generating effect
- low water level means a pool water storage capacity, which requires frequent water re-supply.
- 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.
- the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a fog machine with continuous water supply and continuous fog spray.

- the main body is provided with a connecting pipe for connecting with a water pipe, an electromagnetic valve, and a water inlet pipe communicated with the connecting pipe through the electromagnetic valve, wherein an inlet of the water inlet pipe is provided above the water tank or in the water reservoir, and a water level sensor is provided in the water tank and is connected with the electromagnetic valve through electrical signal transmission.
- a recess is provided at the top of the main body and a fog fluid reservoir is provided in the recess, the main body is provided with a heater connected with the fog fluid reservoir through a pipe and a fog fluid pump provided at the pipe between the fog fluid reservoir and the heater, and wherein the heater is provided with a fog exit communicated with the fog outlet.
- a connector is provided at a side of the main body at a place corresponding to the fog outlet, the connector is provided with two inclined surfaces, each provided with one connecting port for connecting with a fog spraying pipe.
- an air inlet is provided at the top of the main body
- an air intake fan for supplying air to the water tank is provided at the main body at a place corresponding to the air inlet
- a detachable rain cover for the fan is provided at the upper side of the main body.
- a touch screen control panel is provided at the main body, the touch screen control panel is electrically connected with the circuit board, a rainproof sheet for covering the touch screen control panel is provided at the front end of the rain cover, and the rear end of the rainproof sheet is mounted on the rain cover or the main body through mutual attraction between magnetic elements.
- a water filling port is provided at the top cover of the water reservoir; a water outlet is provided at the bottom of the water tank or at a lower end of a side wall of the water tank, a plug is provided at the water outlet; a DMX XLR socket, a power socket and a power switch are provided at the main body for electrically connecting with the circuit board respectively; and a wheel is provided at the bottom of the main body.
- a cooling fan is provided at a side of the water tank, and a cooling window is provided at the main body at a place corresponding to the cooling fan and the heater.
- the present invention provides the following beneficial effects.
- the water reservoir is provided above the water tank and the water filling switch controls the water in the water reservoir flowing into the water tank, wherein the opening and closing of the water filling switch depends on the water level of the water tank. If the water level becomes high, the switch is automatically closed and thereby the water supply is stopped, and if the water level becomes low, the switch is automatically opened and thereby the water supply is started.
- the water tank which functions as a fog generating area 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.
- the coverplate of the water reservoir can be directly opened to allow for adding water, without causing any influence on the fog generating process in the water tank. Therefore, the fog generating process does not need to be stopped during the process of adding water, and thus the fog generating process can be conducted continuously.

If the water lever becomes low, the switch is automatically opened and thereby the water supply is started, allowing the water in the water reservoir 21 flow into the water tank 15 through the water filling port 22 , such that it can be assured that the water level in the water tank 15 is sufficient to immerse the fog generator 16 and thereby fog generating can be continuously conducted. When a certain water level is reached, the switch is automatically closed and thereby the water supply is stopped, such that a sufficient amount of water can be stored in the fog machine to be continuously supplied to the water tank 15 .
- the water tank 15 which functions as a fog generating area is separated from the water reservoir 21 , such that the fog will not flow into the water reservoir 21 and thus will not influence adding water from outside into the water reservoir 21 during the fog generating process.
- the coverplate 28 of the water reservoir 21 can be directly opened to allow for adding water, without causing any influence on the fog generating process in the water tank 15 . Therefore, the fog generating process does not need to be stopped during the process of adding water, and thus the fog generating process can be conducted continuously.
- the fog generation does not influence the water addition, and the water addition does not influence the fog generation.
- the water filling switch 23 comprises a floating element provided in the water tank 15 and capable of moving up and down along with the water level in the water tank, and a blocking element 25 fixedly connected with the top of the floating element and capable of extending into and blocking the water filling port 22 .
- the floating element moves up and down along with the water level in the water tank. When it moves down, it draws the blocking element away from the water filling port 22 so as to open the switch, and when it moves up, it forces the blocking element 25 to block the water filling port 22 so as to stop the water supply.
- the floating element can be a floating platform or a floating ball provided in the water tank 15 .
