Abstract
A humidification assembly includes a humidification member that is annular and has a mounting space formed in a middle part of the humidification member, a water storage member including a water storage tank, and a driver connected to the humidification member to drive the humidification member to rotate and partially enter into the water storage tank.
Claims17
A humidification assembly comprising:
- a humidification member, the humidification member being annular and having a mounting space formed in a middle part of the humidification member;
- a water storage member including a water storage tank;
- a driver connected to the humidification member to drive the humidification member to rotate and partially enter into the water storage tank;
- an air supplier arranged in the mounting space, an air inlet direction of the air supplier being along an axial direction of the humidification member, and an air outlet direction of the air supplier being along a radial direction of the humidification member;
- and
- an air cover including:
- an air outlet plate having a shape matching the humidification member, the air outlet plate being fixed in the mounting space and including an air supply port towards the humidification member;
- and
- air inlet plate flush with an end of the humidification member or located outside the mounting space, the air inlet plate including an air suction port;
- wherein the air supplier is fixed inside the air cover and configured to guide an airflow from the air suction port to the air supply port.
