Generally, a humidifier includes a sleeve for containing water, an atomizing device such as an ultrasonic atomizing plate is installed in the sleeve, a power ring is located in the sleeve, and a central axis of the power ring is vertically arranged upward. When the humidifying device is used, the central axis of the energy-gathering ring and the axial direction of the atomizing device are required to keep a certain installation relation, so that the atomizing sheet can be ensured to act on the water surface after being gathered through the energy-gathering channel, and the expected humidifying effect is achieved. When the atomizing device works, the energy generated by the atomizing device is gathered by the energy gathering ring energy gathering channel and acts on the water surface, and a water column is excited by the water surface. Part of the water column falls back on the water surface, and part of the falling water falls on the energy collecting ring during the descending process, so that the energy collecting ring deflects. In order to solve the problem of poor stability of the energy gathering ring, the application provides an energy gathering ring. The energy concentrating ring provided by the present application is described in detail below.

Referring to fig. 1, in an embodiment of the present application, a power concentrating ring 100 is provided, the power concentrating ring 100 is symmetrical about a central axis L, a density of one portion of the power concentrating ring 100 is less than that of another portion along the central axis L, and a buoyancy corresponding to a volume of the power concentrating ring 100 as a drainage volume is greater than a gravity of the power concentrating ring 100.

Referring to fig. 3, in the present embodiment, when the volume of the energy concentrating ring 100 as the displacement volume corresponds to a buoyancy value larger than the gravity value of the energy concentrating ring 100, the energy concentrating ring 100 can float on the water surface. When the energy collecting ring 100 floats on the water surface, due to the symmetrical structure, the buoyancy and the gravity applied to the energy collecting ring act on the central axis L and are equal to each other. In addition, because the two parts of the energy-gathering ring 100 in the direction of the central axis L have different densities, when the energy-gathering ring 100 floats on the water surface, at least part of the part with the low density leaks out of the water surface, the part with the high density is located in the water, and the floating center of the buoyancy force borne by the energy-gathering ring 100 on the central axis L is located above the gravity center of the gravity borne by the energy-gathering ring 100 on the central axis L.

Referring to fig. 4, when the energy collecting ring 100 deflects under the action of falling water, the volume of the water immersed on one side increases and the volume of the water immersed on the other side decreases, so that the buoyancy on the side inclined downward increases and the buoyancy on the other side decreases, and the buoyancy center of the buoyancy inclines toward the downward inclined portion and deviates from the central axis L. Because the position of the whole gravity center is still on the central axis L, a force arm exists between the gravity and the buoyancy, the gravity is equal to the buoyancy, a moment for enabling the energy collecting ring 100 to rotate can be generated under the action of the gravity and the buoyancy, and the energy collecting ring 100 swings back by the moment and finally returns to the vertical upward state of the central axis L. Meanwhile, when the energy gathering ring 100 is clamped with the sleeve 200, the buoyancy of the energy gathering ring 100 in water is larger than gravity, and the energy gathering ring 100 overcomes the clamping stagnation effect under the action of resultant force and floats on the water surface again. Therefore, the axial position relation between the central axis L of the energy gathering ring 100 and the atomizing device 300 can be ensured, and the humidifying effect of the humidifier can be ensured. In addition, the swing amplitude of the energy gathering ring 100 under the action of the moment is reduced, and the degree and probability that the energy gathering ring 100 impacts the sleeve 200 in the operation process are reduced, so that the impact noise generated by the energy gathering ring 100 in the operation process of the humidifier can also be reduced. Meanwhile, the noise generated when the back-falling water drops on the energy collecting ring 100 is smaller than the noise generated when the back-falling water directly drops on the water surface, so that the noise can be further reduced.

Compared with the prior art, the energy-gathering ring 100 provided by the embodiment of the application can keep stable arrangement of the central axis L when being arranged in the humidifier, so that the position relation between the energy-gathering ring and the atomizing device 300 is basically kept unchanged, the humidifying effect of the humidifier can be ensured, and the noise of the humidifier in the operation process can be reduced.

It will be appreciated that the volume of the shaped ring 100 as displaced volume corresponds to a buoyancy equal to the product of the volume of the shaped ring 100 and the density and gravitational acceleration of the water.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the shaped ring 100 includes a body structure 110 and a buoyancy section 120 connected to the body structure 110, the buoyancy section 120 being located at an axial end of the body structure 110, the buoyancy section 120 having a density less than a density of the body structure 110 and a density of water. At this time, the sum of the gravity of the buoyancy section 120 and the body structure 110 is the gravity of the energy concentrating ring 100, and the sum of the volumes of the body structures 110 of the buoyancy section 120 is the volume of the energy concentrating ring 100. Since the buoyancy section 120 is located at the axial end of the main body structure 110, the density of one part of the central axis L of the energy concentrating ring 100 is lower than that of the other part in the axial direction. It is understood that the portion where the buoyancy section 120 is located is a portion having a small density. In this case, the energy concentrating ring 100 is constituted by the buoyancy section 120 and the main structure 110, and thus, the structure is simple and the processing and assembly are easy.

The buoyancy portion 120 may be made of a low-density material such as foam. The body structure 110 may be a solid structure. In actual design, by adjusting the volume and density of the buoyancy portion 120 and the volume and density of the main structure 110, the calculated buoyancy may be larger than the gravity of the energy collecting ring 100 when the volume of the energy collecting ring 100 is used as the water discharge volume.

It will be appreciated that since the energy concentrating ring 100 is symmetrical about the central axis, the body structure 110 and the buoyancy section 120 are also symmetrical about the central axis.

It should be noted that the energy concentrating ring 100 is not limited to the above configuration. For example, the energy concentrating ring 100 is a one-piece body, and one part of the energy concentrating ring in the central axis direction is hollow, and the other part of the energy concentrating ring in the central axis direction is solid.

In particular embodiments, the buoyancy 120 is less than the density of water and greater than or equal to 0.8x10^-3g/mm³The density of the body structure 110 is greater than the density of water. Through measurement and calculation, the ratio of the buoyancy calculated by taking the volume of the energy-gathering ring 100 as the water displacement volume to the gravity of the energy-gathering ring 100 is larger than 1.07, and the energy-gathering ring 100 can float on the water surface and has a good stabilizing effect.

It is understood that the density of the buoyancy portion 120 is less than that of water, but the density of the main body structure 110 is less than or equal to that of water, so that the energy concentrating ring 100 can float on the water surface and the center of buoyancy thereof is above the center of gravity. Except that the stability of the shaped ring 100 is less good than in the present embodiment.

Specifically, referring to fig. 1 and 2, the main body structure 110 includes a base 111 and an energy concentrating portion 112 protruding from one side of the base 111 along a central axis L, the energy concentrating portion 112 has an energy concentrating channel 1121 penetrating through itself and the base 111 along the central axis L, and the buoyancy portion 120 is coupled to an end of the energy concentrating portion 112 away from the base 111. In practical use, the base 111 is located below the water surface, the size of the base 111 is similar to the size of the cross section in the humidifier sleeve 200, the energy generated by the atomizing device 300 is shielded by the base 111 and is not easy to leak, and the energy is gathered by the energy gathering channel 1121 to act on the water surface, so that a large water column is generated. At this time, the energy efficiency of the atomizing device 300 is high.

Optionally, referring to fig. 1, a weight 114 is provided on the base 111. The counterweight block 114 can make the center of gravity of the energy gathering ring 100 move downwards, so that the floating center is positioned above the center of gravity, and the energy gathering ring 100 can smoothly swing back.

Further, the buoyancy section 120 is snapped into engagement with the energy concentrating section 112. When the installation is carried out, the buoyancy part 120 is clamped on the energy gathering part 112, so that the installation is convenient. Specifically, referring to fig. 2, a snap 1122 is provided at an end of the energy concentrating portion 112, and the buoyancy portion 120 has a bayonet fitting with the bayonet. Further, the buoyancy portion 120 is annular, and one axial end of the buoyancy portion 120 is clamped with the energy gathering portion 112. At this time, the buoyancy portion 120 is coaxially arranged with the energy concentrating portion 112, and the annular inner orifice of the buoyancy portion 120 communicates with the energy concentrating passage 1121. Of course, the configuration of the buoyancy section 120 and the manner of coupling with the energy collecting section 112 are not limited to the above.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, 2 and 7, the peripheral wall of the energy concentrating portion 112 has two clearance grooves 1123 extending along the central axis L, and the two clearance grooves 1123 are symmetrically arranged along a first plane passing through the central axis L. In practical use, the energy gathering ring 100 should be able to move in the sleeve 200 with the water level change in the sleeve 200 to ensure the energy gathering effect. In this embodiment, the clearance 1123 of the energy concentrating portion 112 cooperates with the guiding rib 201 in the sleeve 200, so that the energy concentrating portion 112 floats up and down along the sleeve 200 along the water surface. Moreover, the arrangement of the clearance groove 1123 and the guide rib 201 helps to avoid the orientation change of the energy gathering channel 1121 when the energy gathering part 112 rotates in a large range in the horizontal plane, and also reduces the collision between the energy gathering ring 100 and the sleeve 200, thereby reducing noise. A gap is formed between the clearance groove 1123 and the guide part, so that the energy gathering ring 100 can move along the guide rib 201 conveniently.

It should be noted that the engagement of the clearance 1123 with the guide rib 201 allows the energy concentrating ring 100 to swing in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane, that is, the energy concentrating ring 100 can swing in a vertical plane when the falling water drops on the energy concentrating ring 100. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the energy collecting ring 100 can automatically swing back to the vertical state when swinging in the vertical plane under the action of the falling water.

In an embodiment, referring to fig. 7, two pairs of ribs 1124 are protruded from the peripheral wall of the energy concentrating portion 112, the two pairs of ribs 1124 are symmetrically arranged along a first plane, and each pair of ribs 1124 are symmetrically arranged along a second plane perpendicular to the first plane, and the clearance groove 1123 is formed between each pair of ribs 1124. At this time, two pairs of ribs 1124 each form a clearance groove 1123, and the peripheral wall of the energy concentrating portion 112 other than the ribs 1124 has a large distance from the sleeve 200, so that collision of the energy concentrating portion 112 with the sleeve 200 during oscillation can be reduced, and the interference position of the energy concentrating portion 112 with the sleeve 200 can also be reduced.

Further, referring to fig. 2, each rib 1124 has a first section and a second section sequentially arranged along the central axis L, the first section being away from the base 111, and the second section being close to the base 111. The first section of each pair of ribs 1124 forms a clearance groove 1123, the outer side wall of the first section facing away from the first plane is an inclined surface 1125, and the vertical distance from the inclined surface 1125 to the first plane gradually decreases from the end connected with the second section to the end facing away from the second section. At this time, the outer side wall of the first section facing away from the first plane is provided with a slope 1125 gradually receding upwards in the vertical direction, and the slope 1125 is provided so that the energy gathering ring 100 does not interfere with the inner wall of the sleeve 200 when swinging in the second plane, especially when the sleeve 200 is arranged obliquely and the energy gathering ring 100 needs to be kept upwards in the vertical direction.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the energy concentrating ring 100 is divided into two energy concentrating half rings 101 by a second plane passing through the central axis L thereof, and the bottom portions of the two energy concentrating half rings 101 are rotatably connected by a rotating portion 113.

Specifically, the base 111 is divided into two sub-bases 111 relative to a second plane passing through the central axis L, the energy-gathering portions 112 are divided into two sub-energy-gathering portions 112 relative to the second plane, the floating portions are divided into two sub-floating portions relative to the second plane, and the sub-bases 111, the energy-gathering portions 112 and the sub-floating portions located on the same side of the second plane are connected. The two sub-bases 111 are rotatably connected by a rotating portion 113.

At this time, the energy gathering ring 100 is divided into two halves, when the two sub bases 111 are rotated until the energy gathering half rings 101 are opened, when the water level is high, the buoyancy and the gravity of each energy gathering half ring 101 are equal, but the buoyancy and the gravity of each energy gathering half ring 101 are not located on the same straight line, a moment arm exists between the two acting forces and forms a moment to make each energy gathering half ring 101 swing towards each other, so that the energy gathering half rings 101 are closed to form a normal energy gathering channel 1121, and the humidifier can normally emit fog. At a low water level, the volume of each energy-gathering half ring 101 immersed in water is reduced, the applied buoyancy is smaller than the gravity, the energy-gathering half rings 101 are opened under the action of the gravity and the buoyancy, at this time, the energy-gathering half rings 101 cannot form a normal energy-gathering channel 1121, and the energy-gathering effect cannot be achieved, but the energy-gathering rings 100 cannot block the mist outlet channel of the atomizing device 300, so that the humidifier can also emit mist. Thus, the energy collecting ring 100 of the solution in the present embodiment can ensure the humidifier to have a defogging effect at both high and low water levels. Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the rotating portion 113 includes a first rotating shaft 1131 and a first rotating ring 1132 provided on one sub base 111, and a second rotating shaft and a second rotating ring provided on the other sub base 111, the first rotating shaft 1131 is rotatably connected to the second rotating ring, the second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the first rotating ring 1132, the first rotating shaft 1131 and the first rotating ring 1132 are distributed on two radial sides of the energy collecting channel 1121, and the second rotating shaft and the second rotating ring are also distributed on two radial sides of the energy collecting channel 1121. The structure of the rotation portion 113 is not limited thereto.

The energy-gathering ring 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application can keep stable arrangement of its central axis L when being disposed in the humidifier, so that the positional relationship between the energy-gathering ring and the atomizing device 300 is basically kept unchanged, which not only can ensure the humidifying effect of the humidifier, but also helps to reduce the noise of the humidifier in the operation process.

In addition, a humidifier is provided in an embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 5, which includes a sleeve 200, an atomizing device 300, and the energy concentrating ring 100 provided in any of the above embodiments, wherein the energy concentrating ring 100 is located in the sleeve 200, and the atomizing device 300 is mounted at the bottom of the sleeve 200 and is coaxial with the sleeve 200.

In the humidifier, when sufficient water is filled in the sleeve 200, the energy gathering ring 100 can float on the water surface, at least part of the part with low density leaks out of the water surface, the part with high density is positioned in the water, and the floating center is positioned above the center of gravity. When the energy collecting ring 100 deflects under the action of falling water, the energy collecting ring can swing back under the action of self gravity and buoyancy and finally returns to the state that the central axis L is vertically upward. Meanwhile, when the energy gathering ring 100 is clamped with the sleeve 200, the buoyancy of the energy gathering ring 100 in water is larger than the gravity, so that the energy gathering ring can overcome the clamping stagnation effect and float on the water again under the action of the resultant force of the buoyancy and the gravity. Therefore, the axial position relation between the central axis L of the energy gathering ring 100 and the atomizing device 300 can be ensured, and the humidifying effect of the humidifier can be ensured. In addition, the swing amplitude of the energy gathering ring 100 under the action of the moment is reduced, and the degree and probability that the energy gathering ring 100 impacts the sleeve 200 in the operation process are reduced, so that the impact noise generated by the energy gathering ring 100 in the operation process of the humidifier can also be reduced. Meanwhile, the noise generated when the back-falling water drops on the energy collecting ring 100 is smaller than the noise generated when the back-falling water directly drops on the water surface, so that the noise can be further reduced. Compared with the prior art, the humidifier that this application embodiment provided, not only the humidification effect is showing, and the running noise is low.

The atomizing device 300 may be an ultrasonic atomizing plate. Since the humidifier includes the energy concentrating ring 100 in any one of the above embodiments, the humidifier also includes the beneficial effects in the above embodiments, which are not described herein again.

In one embodiment, the central axis L of the energy concentrating ring 100 is arranged along the vertical direction, and the axis of the atomizing device 300 forms an acute angle with the vertical direction. The sleeve 200 and the atomizer 300 are now arranged obliquely. Wherein the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300 are obliquely arranged means that the axial sleeve 200 of the atomizing device 300 is axially obliquely arranged.

Because the humidifier can arouse a fog water column with a certain height when in work, when the water column is influenced by external factors and the height of the water column is reduced, the humidification quantity can be reduced. When the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300 are not obliquely arranged, the water column is excited to be a vertical water column, the water excited firstly falls down under the action of gravity and falls onto the water column excited later, so that the height of the subsequent excited water column is influenced, the height of the subsequent excited water column is reduced, and the humidification quantity is reduced. When the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300 are obliquely arranged, the water column is excited to be an oblique water column, and the water column excited first falls down due to the gravity, but the water column excited first cannot fall on the water column excited later due to the oblique effect, the height of the water column excited later cannot be influenced, so that the humidification quantity cannot be reduced, and the humidification quantity is increased equivalently.

It will be appreciated that the energy concentrating ring 100 has an axially extending energy concentrating channel 1121, and the central axis of the atomizing device 300 is located within the energy concentrating channel 1121 of the energy concentrating ring 100 to ensure the energy concentrating effect. When the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300 are not disposed obliquely, the energy concentrating ring 100 is disposed coaxially with the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300, and when the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300 are not disposed obliquely, although the energy concentrating ring 100 and the atomizing device 300 are not disposed coaxially, the central axis of the atomizing device 300 passes through the energy concentrating channel 1121 of the energy concentrating ring 100.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1, the energy concentrating ring 100 includes two energy concentrating half rings 101 symmetrically disposed with respect to a second plane passing through a central axis L thereof, bottom portions of the two energy concentrating half rings 101 are rotatably coupled by a rotating portion 113, and a support 202 is disposed at a bottom portion of the sleeve 200.

At this time, the energy gathering ring 100 is divided into two halves, when the energy gathering half rings 101 are rotated to be opened, the buoyancy and the gravity of each energy gathering half ring 101 are equal when the water level is high, but the buoyancy and the gravity of each energy gathering half ring 101 are not located on the same straight line, a moment arm exists between the two acting forces and forms a moment for swinging each energy gathering half ring 101 towards each other, the energy gathering half rings 101 are rotated to be closed to form a normal energy gathering channel 1121, and the humidifier can normally emit fog. When the energy-gathering ring 100 is lowered to the position that the rotating part 113 of the energy-gathering ring contacts the support 202 at a low water level, the volume of each energy-gathering half ring 101 immersed in water is reduced, the applied buoyancy is smaller than the gravity, the energy-gathering half rings 101 rotate to be opened under the action of the gravity and the buoyancy, at the moment, the energy-gathering half rings 101 cannot form a normal energy-gathering channel 1121, the energy-gathering effect cannot be achieved, but the energy-gathering ring 100 cannot block a mist outlet channel of the atomizing device 300, and therefore the humidifier can also emit mist. Thus, the energy collecting ring 100 of the solution in the present embodiment can ensure the humidifier to have a defogging effect at both high and low water levels.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6 and 7, the inner wall of the sleeve 200 has a guiding rib 201 extending along the axial direction of the sleeve 200, the outer wall of the energy concentrating ring 100 has a clearance groove 1123 extending along the central axis L, the guiding rib 201 is located in the clearance groove 1123, and a gap exists between the clearance groove 1123 and the guiding rib 201.

In practical use, the energy gathering ring 100 should be able to move in the sleeve 200 with the water level change in the sleeve 200 to ensure the energy gathering effect. In the present embodiment, the clearance 1123 of the energy gathering part 112 is guided by the guiding rib 201, so that the energy gathering part 112 floats up and down along the sleeve 200 along the water surface. Moreover, the arrangement of the clearance groove 1123 and the guide rib 201 helps to avoid the orientation change of the energy gathering channel 1121 when the energy gathering part 112 rotates in a large range in the horizontal plane, and also reduces the collision between the energy gathering ring 100 and the sleeve 200, thereby reducing noise. A gap is formed between the clearance groove 1123 and the guide part, so that the energy gathering ring 100 can move along the guide rib 201 conveniently. It should be noted that the engagement of the clearance 1123 with the guide rib 201 allows the energy concentrating ring 100 to swing in a second plane perpendicular to the first plane, that is, the energy concentrating ring 100 can swing in a vertical plane when the falling water drops on the energy concentrating ring 100. However, in the embodiment of the present invention, the energy collecting ring 100 can automatically swing back to the vertical state when swinging in the vertical plane under the action of the falling water.

In the humidifier provided by the embodiment of the application, in the operation process, the energy collecting ring 100 can automatically adjust the position of the energy collecting ring, and the position relation between the energy collecting ring and the sleeve 200 and the position relation between the energy collecting ring and the atomizing device 300 are kept, so that the humidifying effect is remarkable. Meanwhile, noise generated by movement of the energy gathering ring 100 is low, and the operation noise of the humidifier is reduced. In addition, the sleeve 200 and the atomizing device 300 are obliquely disposed, increasing the amount of humidification and the humidifying effect. Meanwhile, the energy collecting ring 100 may be divided into two halves and automatically switched between a closed state and an open state at high and low water levels, so that the humidifier has a humidifying effect even at low water levels.
