Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to the field of steam household appliances, in particular to a water level control device of a humidifier and a humidifier using the water level control device.

With the development of science and technology, the living standard of people is improved increasingly, and the requirement of people upon the living environment is improved gradually. Air humidity is one of the important factors influencing comfort, particularly in the northern area of China and in places air conditioners are used for a long time, as the environment is extremely dry, corresponding equipment needs to be used for increasing the air humidity and providing a comfortable living environment through regulation. Therefore, household humidification equipment is more and more popular with families and is one of indispensable household appliances for home furnishing.

A humidifier on the present market is generally composed of a water tank and a base, the base is provided with a steam generation cavity, the water tank supplies water to the steam generation cavity, and mist is generated under the effect of a generator of the base. The humidifier in the prior art is generally of a downward water adding type, and both a water adding hole and a water outlet valve of the downward water adding type humidifier are arranged on the bottom of the water tank. Before the downward water adding type humidifier is used, the water tank needs to be dismounted from the base firstly, then the water tank is overturned to make the bottom of the water tank face upwards, the water tank is filled with water through the water adding hole after the water outlet valve is unscrewed, the water outlet valve is screwed afterwards, the water tank is mounted on the base again and connected with the steam generation cavity, and finally humidification is started. Obviously, the whole water adding process is extremely complex, the water tank is quite heavy after being filled with water, and operation is extremely inconvenient.

For this reason, an upward water adding type humidifier is sold on the market, before the upward water adding type humidifier is used, water can be added directly through a water adding cover arranged on the upper portion of a water tank, the water tank does not need to be dismounted any more, and humidification can be started through water adding operation on the bottom; the upward water adding type humidifier is simple in structure and convenient and easy to use and gradually replaces the downward water adding type humidifier accordingly.

As for the upward water adding type humidifier, since the pressure intensity in the water tank is influenced by atmospheric pressure, overflowing easily occurs between the water tank and a base of the humidifier, and for keeping the normal working state of the humidifier, a water level control device for effectively controlling water supplement needs to be arranged. A water level control device in the prior art is generally of a lever type or an electromagnetic valve type; as for the lever type water level control device, since a floating block connected with one end of a lever needs to be arranged, a large internal space is occupied by the transversely-arranged lever, the triggering speed is low, water supplement cannot be controlled in time, and the water level control effect is poor; as for the electromagnetic valve type water level control device, although the response speed is high, a switch is started frequently due to the fact that triggering is excessively sensitive and is prone to being damaged consequentially, the structure is complex, and power consumption is extremely high. Therefore, study on water level control devices for existing upward water adding type humidifiers is still a challenge for all manufacturers.
