Humidification apparatus

A humidification apparatus comprising multiple interconnected segments that couple together to form an elongated body including:

• a water reservoir, having an open end and a closed end opposite to the open end, and a first accommodating space formed therein between the two ends for receiving a volume of water;
• a housing, having a second accommodating space formed therein;
• and including:
• a humidity sensor and a temperature sensor disposed in the housing for sensing humidity and temperature values in a surrounding environment of the apparatus;
• at least one power connector disposed in the housing for supplying power therethrough from a corresponding power source to electronic elements of the apparatus;
• a high frequency transducer disposed inside the housing and capable of generating high frequency oscillation for atomizing water in contact therewith;
• a control circuitry disposed in the second accommodating space, and electrically connected to the sensors, the power connector, and high frequency transducer respectively, and capable of activating the high frequency transducer to generate high frequency oscillation in response to the humidity or temperature value change detected by the sensors and to act as an atomizing device for producing humidifying mist or vapor;
• and
• a coupler having one end removably coupled to the open end of the water reservoir by means of a watertight connection, and another end removably coupled to the first end of the housing, and including an vertical passage, at least one horizontal passage, and a wicking element, wherein the vertical passage is formed in the coupler and configured to intersect with the horizontal passage;
• the horizontal passage is formed in the coupler and configured to create a continuously regulated flow of water from the first accommodating space to the vertical passage;
• and wherein, the top end of the vertical passage is able to communicate with the surrounding environment of the apparatus through an outlet formed on the housing;
• and the wicking element is inserted in the vertical passage with its lower end positioned within the coupler and corresponding to the intersection of the vertical passage and the horizontal passage for receiving the liquid flowing from the first accommodating space through the horizontal passage to the coupler, such that wicking element is able to continuously absorb said liquid and then consistently move said liquid upwards against gravity by the capillary action of the wicking element to the top end of the wicking element, so that the top end of the wicking element will be always maintained to be moistened while being in contact with the base of the high frequency transducer.
