Description
- The present invention relates to the technical field of humidifiers, and more particularly, to a humidifier with a top water-feeding structure.
- With the development of people's living standards, living in a clean and healthy environment has become a major concern. The air humidity is a key index and an adjustable factor related to the living comfort. Humidifiers are popular and widespread, especially in dry northern areas and indoor air-conditioned environments. In the prior art, most of the traditional humidifiers sold on the market only allow water to be fed from the bottom of the device, wherein the water inlet and the water outlet are both formed in the bottom of the water tank. As a result, the humidifier and the water tank must be separated when feeding or changing water. This configuration is difficult to operate. In contrast, humidifiers allowing water to enter from the top appear on the market. The operating principle is to pump the water in the water tank into a water sink of an energy converter through a water pump and an electromagnetic valve control pipeline. However, as the transmitting distance of ultrasonic waves generated by the vibrating head in the water is very limited, the water level of the water sink of the energy converter needs to be controlled, thereby ensuring an ideal atomization effect. Thus, a complicated structure and a high manufacturing cost cannot be avoided.
- Along the progress of related technologies, a better atomization effect has been achieved. Chinese patent CN2013105638692 discloses an ultrasonic humidifier with a top water-feeding structure, wherein a sleeve assembly is arranged above the vibrating head, and an energy-gathering ring is connected with the minimal sleeve of the sleeve assembly. In this design, the energy-gathering ring is always located at the vertical center of the vibrating head and floats on the water surface. Thus, the energy generated by the vibrating head can be further transmitted to the water surface, thereby generating water mist through the energy-gathering ring. However, the upper end of the energy-gathering ring is fixedly connected with the minimal sleeve, and there are gaps between these sleeves. Thus, when the energy-gathering ring absorbs the ultrasonic waves, the lower end of the atomization hole cannot be aligned to the vibrating head all the time. Furthermore, Chinese patent 201710301140.6 also discloses an ultrasonic humidifier, wherein an energy converter is mounted in a recessed position at the bottom of the water tank, and a limiting cylinder is arranged above the energy converter. The shaft-hole center of the energy accumulator is kept consistent with the energy converter. Moreover, an overflow opening that is lower than the air outlet of the air duct is formed above the water tank, thereby preventing water from overflowing from the water tank to enter the air duct. However, compared with traditional humidifiers with a bottom-feeding structure, the aforesaid design can neither avoid error operations nor reduce the toppling risk of the humidifier, resulting in a poor safety performance. Although the traditional energy accumulator solves problems such as a complicated water-feeding process and a short ultrasonic energy transmission distance to a certain extent, the energy accumulator is in a relatively static state during operation. As a result, the stress generated by ultrasonic energy can be easily accumulated, seriously damaging the energy-gathering ring. Thus, the functional life of the humidifier can be sharply shortened.
- In conclusion, it's urgent for those skilled in this field to develop a novel humidifier.
- The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings in the prior art by providing a humidifier with a top water-feeding structure, which can be conveniently operated, prolong the functional life of the energy accumulator, and has high electrical safety and ideal atomization effect.

- Drawings and detailed embodiments are combined hereinafter to elaborate the technical principles of the present invention.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , the humidifier with a top water-feeding structure of the present invention comprises abase 1 and awater tank 2 that is fixed on thebase 1. An opening is formed in the upper end of thewater tank 2, and amist outlet cover 21 is arranged on the upper opening of thewater tank 2. Anatomizer 22 is arranged on a bottom plate of thewater tank 2, and avortex tube 3 is arranged above theatomizer 22. An energy accumulator capable of moving up and down along the vertical center line of theatomizer 22 is arranged in thevortex tube 3. The energy accumulator comprises a vibratingtube 4, and two floatingrings 41 are respectively arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the vibratingtube 4. A plurality ofrib plates 42 are arranged on the periphery of the vibratingtube 4 at intervals. The two ends of eachrib plate 42 are respectively connected with the upper floatingring 41 and the lower floatingring 41. A plurality ofpower pieces 43 are arranged on the bottom surface of the lower floatingring 41. The upper end opening of thewater tank 2 is used for feeding water, and a mist outlet is formed in themist outlet cover 21 arranged on thewater tank 2. The ultrasonic energy generated by theatomizer 22 arranged on the bottom plate of thewater tank 2 is absorbed by the energy accumulator floating on the water surface. Thus, the water mist can be generated. Meanwhile, the humidifier with a top water-feeding structure can be achieved. The energy accumulator comprises a vibratingtube 4 for absorbing ultrasonic energy. The vibratingtube 4 absorbs energy and atomizes the water in the tube. The vibratingtube 4 is provided with an upper floatingring 41 and a lower floatingring 41, which enable the vibratingtube 4 to float on the water surface. The vibratingtube 4 floats on the vertical center line of theatomizer 22 under the limiting action of thevortex tube 3. The plurality ofrib plates 42 arranged on the periphery of the vibratingtube 4 are connected with the upper floatingring 41 and the lower floatingring 41 to form a framework structure. Thus, the intensity of the vibratingtube 4 can be enhanced and the overall weight of the humidifier can be reduced. Preferably, a plurality ofpower pieces 43 are arranged at the lower end of the energy accumulator. When the vibratingtube 4 vibrates, thepower pieces 43 release a part of the energy into the water, thereby enabling the whole energy accumulator to rotate. According to this, the stress caused by the energy accumulator staying in a relatively static state for a long time can be prevented from being accumulated in the vibratingtube 4, effectively prolonging the functional life of the humidifier. However, the offset of the energy accumulator can cause low energy absorption efficiency. In order to solve this problem, the space between thevortex tube 3 and the energy accumulator is small. The vibratingtube 4 absorbing the ultrasonic energy enables the whole energy accumulator to keep a high-frequency vibration. As a result, the contact and the collision between thevortex tube 3 and the energy accumulator cannot be avoided, causing energy loss and shortening the function life of the energy accumulator. In the present invention, the energy accumulator rotates in thevortex tube 3 and is positioned therein, avoiding the contact and thecollision vortex tube 3 and the energy accumulator. Therefore, the ultrasonic energy absorption efficiency and the atomization effect can be significantly improved. - An extending portion of the vibrating
tube 4 is arranged below the lower floatingring 41. The plurality ofpower pieces 43 are arranged at the periphery of the extending portion of the vibratingtube 4 at equal intervals, and are integrally connected with the extending portion of the vibratingtube 4. The two floatingrings 41 arranged at the upper end and the lower end of the vibratingtube 4 enable the energy accumulator to form an up-and-down symmetrical structure. When the vibratingtube 4 floats on the water surface, the gravity center of the vibratingtube 4 can easily offset. Under the circumstances, thevortex tube 3 can be used to correct and limit the vibratingtube 4. Through the arrangement of the extending portion of the vibratingtube 4, the gravity center of the energy accumulator can be located at the lower end. Through the interaction with thepower pieces 43, the energy accumulator can stably rotate, thereby eliminating the stress. - An inclination angle is formed between each
power piece 43 and the vertical plane. The vibratingtube 4, the extending portion of the vibratingtube 4, the plurality ofrib plates 42, the two floatingrings 41 and the plurality ofpower pieces 43 form an integral symmetrical structure with the gravity center located at the lower end. Thepower pieces 43 determine the rotation direction through the arrangement of the inclination angle. Namely, the energy released by the vibratingtube 4 generates stress of corresponding inclination angle through thepower pieces 43. Thus, a certain rotation direction can be formed in the water, preventing the energy accumulator from swinging back and forth. - A spiral rifling 32 is arranged on the inner wall of the
vortex tube 3, and a plurality ofwater permeating holes 31 are formed in the side wall of thevortex tube 3, wherein onewater permeating hole 31 is formed in the lower portion of thevortex tube 3 and is close to the bottom plate of thewater tank 2. Preferably, thevortex tube 3 functions as a limiting mechanism of the energy accumulator, enabling the energy accumulator to float on the vertical center line of theatomizer 22. In order to avoid the collision with the energy accumulator, thevortex tube 3 enables the water transmitting the ultrasonic energy in the tube to rotate in a certain direction through the spiral rifling 32 on the inner wall, thereby producing an internal vortex when the water synchronously rotates with the energy accumulator. Therefore, the energy accumulator is always located on the vertical center line of the vortex and theatomizer 22. - A recessed inserting
slot 23 is formed in the bottom plate of thewater tank 2, and theatomizer 22 is arranged in the hole formed in the bottom of the insertingslot 23. The lower end of thevortex tube 3 is vertically inserted into the insertingslot 23, and is engaged with the bottom plate of thewater tank 2. Theatomizer 22 is located at the bottom of the insertingslot 23 so that the water in thewater tank 2 can be used up. Meanwhile, the energy accumulator can be positioned correspondingly through the concentrically-installedvortex tube 3. - A
sleeve 33 is arranged on one side of the lower end of thevortex tube 3, and an opening is formed in the lower end of thesleeve 33. A magnetic triggeringmember 34 is arranged in the opening of thesleeve 33.

Ahorizontal sensor 12 connected with a power supply controller is arranged in thebase 1. Thevortex tube 3 is detachably connected with the interior of thewater tank 2 so that the cleaning and maintenance ofwater tank 2 can be facilitated. Through the interaction between the positioningtube 24 and thesleeve 33, thevortex tube 3 can be vertically installed in place. The magnetic switch can detect the absence of thevortex tube 3 or the energy accumulator, ensuring that the circuit of theatomizer 22 can be automatically disconnected. - A filtering
membrane plate 26 is arranged between the bottom of thevortex tube 3 and the insertingslot 23. According to the installation way of thevortex tube 3, the filteringmembrane plate 26 is separately arranged in the insertingslot 23. Moreover, through the detachable connection between thevortex tube 3 and the insertingslot 23, impurities in the water can be prevented from damaging theatomizer 22. Thus, the cleaning and maintenance efficiency of thewater tank 2 can be improved, and the functional life of the humidifier can be prolonged. - An air-
ducting tube 5 is arranged in thewater tank 2, and anair inlet tube 25 is formed in the bottom plate of thewater tank 2. The lower end of the air-ducting tube 5 is hermetically connected with the upper end of theair inlet tube 25. The lower opening of theair inlet tube 25 is connected with anair feeder 11 arranged in thebase 1. A normally-closed leakage-proof air outlet assembly is arranged in the upper opening of thewater tank 2, and the upper end of the air-ducting tube 5 is connected with the leakage-proof air outlet assembly.
