Abstract
A safety device for a humidifier includes a housing, a water tank, a nozzle, a vapor producer and a water feeder. The water tank is positioned in the housing, and the nozzle is positioned above the water tank. The housing has a water intake connected with the water feeder. A sphere holder for holding a sphere is assembled between the water tank and the nozzle and the sphere can exactly clog the nozzle. When the water tank is collapsed, the sphere will disengage from the sphere holder to clog the nozzle. A hollow space is formed between the water feeder and the water tank and provided with a sluice gate, and a stop plate is provided for controlling water to pass through the sluice gate and for sealing up the sluice gate, able to prevent the water in the water tank from overflowing and flowing reversely.
