In view of this, it is necessary to provide a humidification apparatus, of which a water pump assembly is easy to disassemble and assemble and convenient for a user to clean, so to be conducive to long-term maintenance of air humidification quality.


In order to better understand the humidification apparatus of the present disclosure, the humidification apparatus will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.


As shown in FIGS. 1 to FIGS. 4, in some embodiments of the present disclosure, a humidification apparatus 10 is provided, including a liquid storage assembly 100, a humidification assembly 200 and a water pump assembly 300. The liquid storage assembly 100 includes a container 110 and a mounting base 120. The container 110 is provided with a liquid storage cavity 111 and an opening 112 in communication with the liquid storage cavity 111. The container 110 further includes a stucking portion 113 arranged in the liquid storage cavity 111. The mounting base 120 is detachably connected to the container 110, and at least a part of the mounting base 120 covers the opening 112. The mounting base 120 includes a mounting cavity 121 and a butting portion 122 arranged in the mounting cavity 121. The humidification assembly 200 is provided with a first pipe 210. A part of the humidification assembly 200 is mounted in the mounting cavity 121. The water pump assembly 300 includes a buckling portion 310 and a liquid outlet end 320. The buckling portion 310 is snap-fitted to the stucking portion 113, so as to arrange the water pump assembly 300 in the liquid storage cavity 111. The liquid outlet end 320 is in communication with the first pipe 210 by means of the butting portion 122.


When the humidification apparatus 10 is in use, the humidification assembly 200 is mounted on the mounting base 120 by means of the mounting cavity 121. Liquid in the liquid storage cavity 111 is conveyed from the liquid outlet end 320 to the first pipe 210 by means of the water pump assembly 300, and then flows to the humidification assembly 200, so as to wet the humidification assembly 200. It is convenient to humidify air flowing through the humidification assembly 200 and discharge the humidified air outwards, thus improving air humidity of a living environment and providing people with a comfortable and humid living environment. After the humidification apparatus 10 is used for a long time, the water pump assembly 300 can be taken out from the liquid storage cavity 111 by separating the mounting base 120 from the container 110 and separating the stucking portion 113 from the buckling portion 310, such that a user can conveniently clean the water pump assembly 300. The cleaned water pump assembly 300 can be fixed in the liquid storage cavity 111 by the snap fit of the stucking portion 113 and the buckling portion 310 and then mounting the mounting base 120. In this way, the water pump assembly 300 of the humidification apparatus 10 is easy to disassemble and assemble, and convenient for a user to clean, which is conducive to long-term maintenance of air humidification quality.


It is to be noted that the humidification assembly 200 may be specifically implemented in various forms, for example, a humidifying cotton core, a humidifying foam cotton core, a humidifying wet film, etc.


It is to be noted that the water pump assembly 300 may be specifically implemented in various forms, including a centrifugal pump, an axial flow pump, a mixed flow pump, etc.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, in some embodiments, the humidification apparatus 10 further includes a housing assembly 400 and an airflow drive assembly 500.

The airflow drive assembly 500 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 430 and configured to drive external air to enter the first accommodating cavity 430 through the air inlet hole 410 and to be discharged from the air outlet 420. The humidification assembly 200 is arranged in the first accommodating cavity 430 and is located below the airflow drive assembly 500, and the humidification assembly 200 is configured to humidify air flowing through the humidification assembly. The liquid storage assembly 100 is arranged in the second accommodating cavity 440, and the liquid storage assembly 100 is configured to supply liquid. The water pump assembly 300 is configured to convey liquid in the liquid storage assembly 100 to the humidification assembly 200, so as to wet the humidification assembly 200. In this way, the housing assembly 400 supports the airflow drive assembly 500, the humidification assembly 200 and the liquid storage assembly 100, and the water pump assembly 300 is arranged in the liquid storage cavity 111. During use of the humidification apparatus 10, the airflow drive assembly 500 generates suction force as it is running, so that external air can be sucked into the first accommodating cavity 430 through the air inlet hole 410, and after passing through the humidification assembly 200, the air is humidified by the humidification assembly 200. The humidified air is discharged outwards from the air outlet 420. In this process, the airflow drive assembly 500 actively sucks the air outside of the humidification apparatus 10 for humidification, and conveys the humidified air out of the humidification apparatus 10, such that the humidification capacity of the humidification apparatus 10 is greatly improved, the air humidity of the living space is conveniently increased, and a humid and comfortable living space is provided.


It is to be noted that the housing assembly 400 may be specifically implemented in various forms. For example, the housing assembly is formed of at least one housing, formed by a plurality of plates being stitched together, or formed of a box body and a cover body, etc.

In this way, the airflow drive assembly 500 is arranged in the air duct 401, the suction force generated by the running airflow drive assembly 500 sucks the external air into the second accommodating cavity 440 through the air inlet hole 410, and after passing through the humidification assembly 200, the air is humidified by the humidification assembly 200. The humidified air passes through the columnar space 220, flows through the airflow drive assembly 500 and is discharged outwards from the air outlet 420, so as to increase the air humidity of the living environment and provide a humid and comfortable living environment for people.


In conjunction with any one of the embodiments of the columnar space 220, as shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments, a flow channel 431 is formed between a housing 510 of the airflow drive assembly 500 and an inner wall of the housing assembly 400. A top of the housing assembly 400 is provided with an air outlet 420 which is in no communication with the air outlet 420. The mounting base 120 of the liquid storage assembly 100 is provided with a liquid adding hole 124. The air outlet 420, the flow channel 431, the columnar space 220 and the liquid adding hole 124 are in communication in sequence to form a liquid adding channel 402. In this way, a user can conveniently add liquid into the air outlet 420 from the outside of the humidification apparatus 10, and the liquid flows into the liquid storage cavity 111 through the liquid adding channel 402. Specifically, during liquid addition, the liquid enters the flow channel 431 from the air outlet 420, passes through the flow channel 431 into the columnar space 220, and then flows into the liquid storage cavity 111 from the liquid adding hole 124 for storage, such that the liquid can be conveniently conveyed to the humidification assembly 200 by means of the water pump assembly 300.


In the process of adding the liquid, the liquid storage cavity 111 does not need to be disassembled, and the liquid flows to the liquid storage cavity 111 under the action of gravity. In the process, the liquid flows into the flow channel 431 without damaging the airflow drive assembly 500. The liquid is guided into the liquid adding hole 124 through the columnar space 220 and flows into the liquid storage cavity 111 through the liquid adding hole 124, such that the humidification assembly 200 can be prevented from interfering with a liquid adding speed, so as to improve liquid adding efficiency.

In this way, when the humidification apparatus 10 is in use, the humidification assembly 200 is mounted on the mounting base 120 by means of the mounting cavity 121. In the process of wetting the humidification assembly 200, excess liquid may flow from the liquid leakage groove 123 in the mounting cavity 121 into the liquid storage cavity 111 under the action of gravity. During the backflow of the liquid, the liquid leakage groove 123 is in communication with the liquid storage cavity 111 through the silencing channel 101, and when the water flows through the silencing channel 101, the water flows into the liquid storage cavity 111 along the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111, which can avoid the generation of a water drop sound. In this way, the silencing channel 101 can reduce the water sound generated by the liquid flowing from the liquid leakage groove 123 to the liquid storage cavity 111, such that the backflow water sound of the liquid storage assembly 100 is small, which helps to improve a silencing effect of the humidification apparatus 10.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 9, in some embodiments the mounting base 120 includes a first silencing wall 102 arranged below the liquid leakage groove 123, the liquid storage cavity 111 is provided with a second silencing wall 103, and the second silencing wall 103 and the first silencing wall 102 are spaced to form the silencing channel 101. In this way, after the liquid flows out from the liquid leakage groove 123, the liquid continues to flow downwards along the first silencing wall 102, contact with the second silencing wall 103, and is silenced through the silencing channel 101 to avoid the generation of the water drop sound.

In this way, in a process that the liquid continuously flows downwards along the first silencing wall 102, the first silencing wall 102 is arranged gradually close to the second silencing wall 103 to better guide the liquid onto the second silencing wall 103, allowing the liquid to flow through the second silencing wall 103 and continuously flow downwards along the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111 so as to avoid the generation of water drops.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the second silencing wall 103 is arranged gradually close to the first silencing wall 102 in the depth direction of the liquid storage cavity 111. In this way, in a process that the liquid continuously flows downwards along the first silencing wall 102, the second silencing wall 103 is arranged gradually close to the first silencing wall 102 to better guide the liquid from the first silencing wall 102 onto the second silencing wall 103, allowing the liquid to flow through the second silencing wall 103 and continuously flow downwards along the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111 so as to avoid the generation of water drops.


In some embodiments, the first silencing wall 102 is arranged gradually close to the second silencing wall 103 in the depth direction of the liquid storage cavity 111, and the second silencing wall 103 is arranged gradually close to the first silencing wall 102 in the depth direction of the liquid storage cavity 111. In this way, in a process that the liquid continuously flows downwards along the first silencing wall 102, the liquid is better guided from the first silencing wall 102 onto the second silencing wall 103. Moreover, the first silencing wall 102 is arranged gradually close to the second silencing wall 103, the second silencing wall 103 is arranged gradually close to the first silencing wall 102, which is also convenient to reduce a size of an outlet 1011 of the silencing channel 101 and form a water climbing wall effect, so that the liquid can flow through the second silencing wall 103 and continuously flows downwards along the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111 to avoid the generation of water drops.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments of the first silencing wall 102, as shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 9, in some embodiments, the liquid leakage groove 123 further includes a liquid leakage hole 1231, the mounting cavity 121 is in communication with the silencing channel 101 through the liquid leakage hole 1231, and the first silencing wall 102 is arranged below the liquid leakage hole 1231 and away from the mounting cavity 121. In this way, during the liquid is accumulating in the mounting cavity 121, the liquid flows into the liquid leakage hole 1231, and continuously flows downwards along the first silencing wall 102 through the liquid leakage hole 1231, thus silencing the liquid through the silencing channel 101 and further avoiding the generation of the water drop sound.


In conjunction with the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the liquid leakage groove 123 further includes a water collection groove 1232 in communication with the liquid leakage hole 1231. In this way, the water collection groove 1232 collects the liquid in the mounting cavity 121, and guides the liquid in the liquid leakage hole 1231, thus improving a liquid leakage effect of the mounting base 120.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments of the liquid leakage hole, as shown in FIG. 9, in some embodiments, the liquid leakage hole is provided with a first notch 1233 towards the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111. In this way, the first notch 1233 faces the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111, such that the liquid flowing out of the first notch 1233 can be easily guided into the silencing channel 101. In this process, the liquid may also be guided onto the second silencing wall 103 conveniently, so that the liquid continuously flows downwards along the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111, to easily form a water climbing wall effect, and reduce or avoid the generation of water drops.


It is to be noted that the silencing channel 101 may be specifically implemented in various forms. As shown in FIG. 10, in some other embodiments, the liquid storage assembly 100 further includes a porous material layer 130. The porous material layer 130 is provided with a silencing channel 101 and sandwiched between a part of the side wall of the mounting base 120 and an inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111. In this way, using the porous material layer 130 to form the silencing channel 101 can also reduce or avoid the noise caused by the direct dropping of water into the liquid storage cavity 111.


Specifically, after the liquid flows out from the liquid leakage groove 123, the liquid flows downwards slowly along the silencing channel 101 of the porous material layer 130, such that the liquid continuously flows downwards along the inner side wall of the liquid storage cavity 111 by means of the water climbing wall effect, thus preventing the generation of water drops.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments, in some embodiments, the mounting base 120 further includes a positioning portion (not shown) arranged in the mounting cavity 121, and the positioning portion is fitted to a fitting portion of the humidification assembly 200 in a positioning manner. In this way, the humidification assembly 200 is accommodated by the mounting cavity 121, and the positioning portion is positioned and matched with the fitting portion, so that the humidification assembly 200 is primarily fixed to the mounting base 120. It is also convenient to maintain consistent mounting positions of the humidification assembly 200 and the mounting base 120.


Alternatively, one of the positioning portion and the fitting portion is provided with a positioning protrusion, and the other one is provided with a positioning hole fitted to the positioning protrusion in a positioning manner.

In this way, the outlet 1011 of the silencing channel 101 is limited to 0.1 mm≤L≤1 mm, so that the tension action of the water itself can be used to achieve the water climbing wall effect, which can make the water slowly flow into a water tank along the side wall of the water tank, preventing the generation of water drops and the water drop noise caused by the water dripping into the liquid storage cavity 111, achieve the silencing effect and further improving the quiet effect of the humidification apparatus 10.


In conjunction with any of the above embodiments, as shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the mounting cavity 121 is at least partially annular, and there are at least two liquid leakage grooves 123 which are arranged at intervals in a circumferential direction of the mounting cavity 121. In this way, excess liquid flowing out of the humidification assembly 200 can better flow back into the liquid storage cavity 111 through the two liquid leakage grooves 123.


As shown in FIG. 7, in some embodiments, the liquid adding hole 124 is arranged to avoid the mounting cavity 121. In this way, in the process of adding water, the water flows through the columnar space 220 and flows into the liquid adding hole 124, and the liquid adding hole 124 is arranged to avoid the mounting cavity 121, such that the liquid does not pass through the humidification assembly 200, and a liquid adding speed is further improved.

In this way, the mounting cavity 121 is formed by the fit of the inner retaining ring 1212 and the outer retaining ring 1211, such that the humidification assembly 200 can be restrained by the inner retaining ring 1212 and the outer retaining ring 1211. The liquid leakage groove 123 is arranged between the inner retaining ring 1212 and the outer retaining ring 1211, and the liquid adding hole 124 is arranged at the inner side of the retaining ring 1212, such that the liquid adding channel 402 and a backflow channel are separated by the inner retaining ring 1212 and do not interfere with each other.


Particularly, in a liquid adding process, the inner retaining ring 1212 is configured to prevent the liquid from making contact with the humidification assembly 200, so as to prevent the humidification assembly 200 from interfering with the liquid and thus influencing the liquid adding speed.


In conjunction with any one of the above embodiments, as shown in FIGS. 7 and FIGS. 8, in some embodiments, the mounting base 120 further includes a liquid guide protrusion 125, the liquid guide protrusion 125 is arranged at the inner side of the retaining ring 1212, and the liquid adding hole 124 is arranged between the liquid guide protrusion 125 and the inner retaining ring 1212.
