[0045] A humidification module, a humidifier and a humidification purifier of the present application are described below in conjunction with FIG. 1 to FIG. 14.

[0046] According to embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 13, the humidification module includes a base 1; a linkage assembly 2, a humidification assembly 3 and a water tank 4, where the linkage assembly 2 is mounted in a mounting cavity 11 inside the base 1; the humidification assembly 3 is connected to the linkage assembly 2 and has a first end located in the mounting cavity 11; the water tank 4 is switchable between a disengaged state and a mounted state relative to the mounting cavity 11; during a process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 moves in a first direction, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 moves in a third direction relative to the mounting cavity 11 and is located inside the water tank 4; during a process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 moves in a second direction; and the linkage assembly 2 drives the first end of the humidification assembly 3 to move in a fourth direction relative to the mounting cavity 11 and disengage from the water tank 4.

[0047] When in use, the water tank 4 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, and the water tank 4 is in the mounted state. At this time, the water tank 4 abuts against the linkage assembly 2, and the linkage assembly 2 no longer supports the humidification assembly 3. The humidification assembly 3 moves in the third direction relative to the mounting cavity 11, and the first end of the humidification assembly 3 is located inside the water tank 4. At this time, the humidification assembly 3 may play a certain limiting role on the water tank 4, and the humidification assembly 3 is in contact with the water inside the water tank 4, and thus the humidification assembly 3 may humidify the air passing through the humidification assembly 3. When the water tank 4 needs to be cleaned, an external force is applied to the water tank 4, and the water tank 4 is switched from the mounted state to the disengaged state. During the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 is gradually away from the mounting cavity 11 and the water tank 4 no longer abuts against the linkage assembly 2. The linkage assembly 2 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the fourth direction while the linkage assembly 2 restores from deformation, and the humidification assembly 3 is away from the water tank 4. At this time, the water tank 4 may freely enter and exit the mounting cavity 11 without being limited by the humidification assembly 3.

[0048] According to the humidification module of the embodiment of the present application, the water tank 4 is gradually pulled out from the mounting cavity 11 by switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state. The water tank 4 no longer squeezes the linkage assembly 2 during the process of pulling the water tank 4 out of the mounting cavity 11, the linkage assembly 2 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the fourth direction relative to the mounting cavity 11 while the linkage assembly 2 restores from deformation. The humidification assembly 3 is far away from the water tank 4, and then the water tank 4 is completely pulled out from the mounting cavity 11 without being limited by the humidification assembly 3. Therefore, the humidification assembly 3 is automatically moved, and the water tank 4 may be quickly disassembled and assembled to clean conveniently the water tank 4 and improve convenience of cleaning the humidification module.

[0049] In the embodiment of the present application, the first direction is, for example, a movement direction of the water tank 4 when being mounted from the outside to the mounting cavity 11 in the horizontal direction. However, it should be understood that the first direction may also be any other suitable direction, such as the vertical direction.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the second direction is, for example, a movement direction of the water tank 4 when being pulled out from the mounting cavity 11 in the horizontal direction. However, it should be understood that the second direction may also be any other suitable direction, such as the vertical direction.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present application, the third direction is, for example, vertically downward, and the fourth direction is, for example, vertically upward. However, it should be understood that the third direction and fourth direction may also be any other suitable direction.

[0052] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 14, a side wall surface of the base 1 is provided with an opening 12 matching the water tank 4, and the water tank 4 may be moved relative to the mounting cavity 11 through the opening 12 to be switchable between the disengaged state and the mounted state. When in use, the water tank 4 is moved inside the mounting cavity 11 through the opening 12, and the water tank 4 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11 to be in the mounted state. The water tank 4 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 11 through the opening 12 to allow the water tank 4 to be in disengaged state. The state of the water tank 4 may be switched more quickly through the opening 12 in the side wall surface of the base 1, and the opening 12 of the side wall is more in line with the user's habits, which improves the user's usage experience.

[0053] In the embodiment of the present application, an upper surface of the base 1 is provided with a through hole communicating with the mounting cavity 11, and the humidification assembly 3 is matched with the through hole. When in use, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 may be mounted inside the mounting cavity 11 through the through hole, and the humidification assembly 3 is slidably connected to the through hole, the humidification assembly 3 may move up and down along the through hole, and the humidification assembly 3 may move relative to the mounting cavity 11.

[0054] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 13, the linkage assembly 2 includes a reset member 20 and a movable member 21. A first end of the reset member 20 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, a second end of the reset member 20 is connected to the movable member 21, and the humidification assembly3 is connected to the movable member 21. The movable member 21 includes a connection end and a free end, the connection end is rotatably connected to the mounting cavity 11, and the free end is connected to the humidification assembly 3. During the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 applies an external force to the movable member 21 to rotate the movable member 21 to drive the reset member 20 to be deformed and drive the humidification assembly to move closer to the water tank 4. During the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 withdraws the external force applied to the movable member 21, and the reset member 20 restores to its original shape to drive the movable member 21 to move in the opposite direction and drive the humidification assembly 3 to move away from the water tank 4. When in use, the humidification assembly 3 and the reset member 20 are connected by the movable member 21. When the water tank 4 is switched from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 moves in the first direction, the water tank 4 abuts against the movable member 21 and applies an external force to the water tank 4 to drive the movable member 21 to rotate. When the movable member 21 rotates, the movable member 21 drives the reset member 20 and the humidification assembly 3 to move, and the humidification assembly 3 moves in the third direction and is located inside the water tank 4. When the water tank 4 is switched from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 moves in the second direction, the water tank 4 is out of contact with the movable member 21. At this time, the water tank 4 no longer applies an external force to the movable member 21. The reset member 20 drives the movable member 21 to rotate in the opposite direction while the reset member 20 restores its original shape, and the movable member 21 drives the humidification assembly 4 to move in the fourth direction, the humidification assembly 3 is disengaged from the water tank 4 and the movement of the water tank 4 will not be blocked by the humidification assembly 3. By connecting the reset member 20 and the humidification assembly 3 through the movable member 21, the humidification assembly 3 may be linked accordingly with the movement of the water tank 4, and the state of the water tank 4 may be quickly switched.

[0055] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the movable member 21 includes a support plate 28, where during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 abuts against the support plate 28 and compresses the reset member 20; during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the reset member 20 drives the support plate 28 to move in an opposite direction. When in use, the humidification assembly 3 and the reset member 20 are connected through the support plate 28. When the water tank 4 is switched from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 abuts against the support plate to drive the support plate 28 to move, the support plate 28 compresses the reset member 20 and simultaneously drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the third direction, so that the humidification assembly 3 is located inside the water tank 4. When the water tank 4 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 11, the water tank 4 is out of contact with the support plate 28, the reset member 20 drives the support plate 28 to move in the opposite direction while the reset member 20 restores from deformation, the support plate 28 may drive the humidification assembly 3 to move in the fourth direction, so that the humidification assembly 3 is away from the water tank 4. In such way, the water tank 4 may be smoothly pulled out of the mounting cavity 11, which is convenient for cleaning the water tank 4 or adding water to the water tank 4.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the movable member 21 includes a rotary bracket 26, the rotary bracket 26 is rotatably provided inside the mounting cavity 11, the support plate 28 is fixed to the rotary bracket 26, and the second end of the reset member 20 is connected to the rotary bracket 26. When in use, by driving the rotary bracket 26 to rotate, the rotary bracket 26 drives the second end of the reset member 20 to rotate when the rotary bracket 26 rotates to compress the reset member 20. By mounting the support plate 28 on the rotary bracket 26, the support plate 28 is located on a moving path of the water tank 4 when the linkage assembly 2 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, and then when the water tank 4 is switched from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 abuts against the support plate 28 to drive the support plate 28 to move, thereby to drive the entire linkage assembly 2 to rotate through the support plate 28, so that the water tank 4 may more conveniently drive the linkage assembly 2 to rotate.

[0057] Specifically, the support plate 28 may extend to a side away from the humidification assembly 3, and thus the abutment between the water tank 4 and the support plate 28 may be between the humidification assembly 3 and the inner wall surface of the mounting cavity 11, and the water tank 4 drives the support plate 28 to move without being affected by the humidification assembly 3.

[0058] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the rotary bracket 26 is provided with a limit block 27, and the second end of the reset member 20 is fixedly connected to the limit block 27.

[0060] Further, the limit block 27 is parallel to the support plate 28. However, it should be understood that the limit block 27 and the support plate 28 may also have any other suitable position relationship.

[0061] A size of the limit block 27 is, for example, smaller than a size of the support plate 28, that is, a width of the limit block 27 will be smaller than a width of the support plate 28.

[0062] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 13, the movable member 21 includes a fixed frame 23 mounted to the rotary bracket 26, a second end of the coil spring is connected to the fixed frame 23, and the humidification assembly 3 is connected to the fixed frame 23. When in use, in the disengaged state, the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 are tilted to a certain extent, and the coil spring is in the initial state, that is, no deformation occurs. When the water tank 4 is switched to the mounted state, the water tank 4 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, the water tank 4 drives the fixed frame 23 to rotate, the fixed frame 23 drives the coil spring to rotate to compress the coil spring, at the same time, the fixed frame 23 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the third direction and be located inside the water tank 4. When the water tank 4 needs to be cleaned, the water tank 4 is gradually pulled out from the mounting cavity 11, and during the process of switching the water tank 4 to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 no longer abuts against the fixed frame 23, the coil spring drives the fixed frame 23 to move while the coil spring restores from deformation, and the fixed frame 23 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move upward, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 is away from the water tank 4, and then the water tank 4 may be smoothly pulled out from the mounting cavity 11. The water tank 4 is rapidly switched between the mounted state and the disengaged state, which facilitates pulling-out of the water tank 4 from the mounting cavity 11 and cleaning thereof.

[0063] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 13, the fixed frame 23 is provided with a hook groove 25 connected to the humidification assembly 3 and used to drive the humidification assembly 3 to move. When in use, the hook groove 25 on the fixed frame 23 is connected to the humidification assembly 3, the hook groove 25 of the fixed frame 23 will drive the humidification assembly 3 to move when rotating, the fixed frame 23 and the humidification assembly 3 may be stably linked, and then the humidification assembly 3 may be controlled to move up and down by driving the fixed frame 23 to rotate.

[0064] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, the rotary bracket 26 is in snap-fit with the fixed frame 23. When in use, the rotary bracket 26 is in snap-fit with the fixed frame 23, the rotary bracket 26 and the fixed frame 23 may maintain synchronous rotation, and all of the rotary bracket 26, the fixed frame 23 and the reset member 20 may maintain stable synchronous rotation.

[0065] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 13, the reset member 20 includes, for example, a coil spring, the first end of the coil spring is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, and another end of the coil spring is connected to the movable member 21. When in use, the water tank 4 moves in the first direction, the movable member 21 abuts against the water tank 4 and thus it is moved. The movable member 21 drives the coil spring to rotate, and at the same time, the movable member 21 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the third direction and is located inside the water tank 4. When the water tank 4 moves in the second direction, the water tank 4 is out of contact with the movable member 21, and the movable member 21 is no longer under the force applied by the water tank 4. The coil spring will then drive the movable member 21 to move while the coil spring restores from deformation, and the movable member 21 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the fourth direction and to disengage from the water tank 4 to control the upward and downward movement of the humidification assembly 3. However, it should be understood that the reset member 20 may also be a spring or a torsion spring or any other suitable elastic members.

[0066] Specifically, during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 are inclined downwards gradually along the moving direction when the water tank 4 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 11. In the disengaged state, the inclination angle of the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 is, for example, any angle between 10° and 90°.

[0067] Specifically, in the mounted state, for example the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 are perpendicular to the bottom of the mounting cavity 11. However, it should be understood that, in the mounted state, the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 may also be inclined.

[0068] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, FIG. 5, FIG. 6 and FIG. 13, the linkage assembly 2 includes a fixed seat 22 mounted inside the mounting cavity 11. The first end of the reset member 20 is connected to the fixed seat 22, the rotary bracket 26 is connected to the fixed seat 22, the rotary bracket 26 is rotatable relative to the fixed seat 22, and the reset member 20 is located between the rotary bracket 26 and the fixed seat 22. When in use, the first end of the fixed seat 22 is fixedly mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, the second end of the reset member 20 is connected to the fixed frame 23, and the coil spring is sandwiched between the fixed seat 22 and the rotary bracket 26 to prevent the coil spring from falling off. When the water tank 4 is switched to the mounted state, the water tank 4 is mounted in the mounting cavity 11, and the water tank 4 drives the fixed frame 23 and the reset member 20 to rotate with the fixed seat 22 as the origin to compress the reset member 20. When the water tank 4 is switched to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 no longer abuts against the fixed frame 23, and the reset member 20 drives the fixed frame 23 to move in the opposite direction while the reset member 20 restores from deformation.

[0069] The fixed seat 22 is mounted at the upper end of the base 1, for example, and the fixed seat 22 is located between an inner wall surface of the base 1 and the humidification assembly 3. When in use, the fixed seat 22 is mounted at the upper end of the base 1, the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 may rotate with the fixed seat 22 as the fulcrum to increase a rotation radius of the coil spring and the fixed frame 23. However, it should be understood that the fixed seat 22 may also be mounted in any other suitable position.

[0070] Specifically, the coil spring may be mounted between the rotary bracket 26 and the fixed seat 22, and the limit block 27 of the rotary bracket 26 is connected to the second end of the coil spring. The rotary bracket 26 may be driven to rotate with the fixed seat 22 as a fulcrum, and the second end of the coil spring may be driven to rotate when the rotary bracket 26 rotates to compress the coil spring.

[0071] Specifically, the fixed frame 23 may also be driven to rotate, the coil spring rotates with the fixed frame 23, and the limit block 27 and the rotary bracket 26 are driven to rotate when the coil spring rotates. Then, the water tank 4 may drive the rotary bracket 26 or the fixed frame 23 to rotate, thereby controlling the upward and downward movement of the humidification assembly 3, and making the structure of the water tank 4 change accordingly.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present application, the humidification module includes at least two relatively oppositely linkage assemblies 2. When in use, when the water tank 4 is in the mounted state, the water tank 4 abuts against the two linkage assemblies 2 at the same time, the two linkage assemblies 2 simultaneously drive the humidification assembly 3 to move downward relative to the mounting cavity 11. When the water tank 4 is switched to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 is simultaneously out of contact with the two linkage assemblies 2. The two linkage assemblies 2 restore from deformation while driving the humidification assembly 3 to move upward, so that the humidification assembly 3 is away from the water tank 4. Then, by respectively providing linkage assemblies 2 at both sides of the humidification assembly 3, the two sides of the humidification assembly 3 may move up and down stably at the same time, thereby avoiding the asynchronous movement of the two sides of the humidification assembly 3.

[0073] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the humidification assembly 3 includes a filter mesh bracket 31 and a humidification filter mesh 32, where the humidification filter mesh 32 is mounted at the filter mesh bracket 31, and the filter mesh bracket 31 is connected to the movable member 21. When in use, the movable member 21 connects the filter mesh bracket 31 and the fixed frame 23, and the filter mesh bracket 31 moves accordingly when the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 rotate. In the disengaged state, the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 are provided inside the mounting cavity 11 inclinedly at a certain angle. At this time, the movable member 21 supports the filter mesh bracket 31, and the filter mesh bracket 31 and the humidifying filter 32 are away from the water tank 4. During the process of switching the water tank 4 to the mounted state, the water tank 4 drives the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 to rotate, so that the movable member 21 rotates with the coil spring and the fixed frame 23. After rotating, the movable member 21 no longer supports the filter mesh bracket 31. The filter mesh bracket 31 and the humidification filter mesh 32 move downward under the action of gravity, and the first end of the humidification filter mesh32 is located inside the water tank 4.

[0074] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 13, in the case that the movable member 21 includes a connector 24, the filter mesh bracket 31 is provided with a guide rail groove 33, and the connector is suitable for moving along the guide rail groove. When in use, the buckle 241 of the connector 24 is in snap-fit with the guide rail groove 33, and the connector 24 is stably connected to the filter mesh bracket 31. When the water tank 4 is switched from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 drives the coil spring and the fixed frame 23 to rotate, and the connector 24 rotates accordingly, so that the connector 24 moves from the lowest point of the guide rail groove 33 to the highest point of the guide rail groove 33. At this time, the connector 24 has no supporting force on both the filter mesh bracket 31 and the humidification filter mesh 32, and both the filter mesh bracket 31 and the humidification filter mesh 32 move downward into the water tank 4 under the action of gravity. When the water tank 4 is switched from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the water tank 4 is gradually pulled out from the mounting cavity 11. When the water tank 4 is out of contact with the linkage assembly 2, the compressed coil spring drives the fixed frame 23 to rotate while the compressed coil spring restores from deformation, the connector 24 rotates accordingly the connector 24 moves from the highest point of the guide rail groove 33 to the lowest point of the guide rail groove 33, the filter mesh bracket 31 moves upward, and the humidification filter mesh 32 moves upward, and then the filter mesh bracket 31 and the humidification filter mesh 32 are away from the water tank 4, and the water tank 4 may be smoothly pulled out from the mounting cavity 11 without being blocked by the filter mesh bracket 31 and the humidification filter mesh 32. The water tank 4 may be easily pulled out for cleaning, and the operation is convenient and quick.

[0075] In the embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 3, FIG. 7, FIG. 8 and FIG. 13, the connector 24 is provided with a buckle 241 matching the guide rail groove 33, and the buckle 341 is in snap-fit with the guide rail groove 33. The guide rail groove 33 includes a snap-fit section 34 and a slide section connected in sequence, and the snap-fit section 34 is closer to the base 1 than the slide section, where the buckle 21 moves from the snap-fit section 34 to the slide section during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, and the buckle 241 moves from the slide section to the snap-fit section 34 during the process of switching the water tank from the mounted state to the disengaged state. When in use, in the disengaged state, the buckle 241 is in snap-fit with the snap-fit section 34, the connector 24 is limited in the snap-fit section 34, at this time, the connector 24 supports the filter mesh bracket 31, and the entire humidification assembly 3 is away from the water tank 4. In the mounted state, the buckle is located at the end of the slide section away from the snap-fit section 34, and at this time the first end of the humidification assembly 3 is located inside the water tank 4. When the water tank 4 is switched from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the buckle 241 moves from the snap-fit section 34 to the slide section, and moves along the slide section to the end of the slide section away from the snap-fit section 34. When the buckle 241 moves to the slide section, the connector 24 no longer supports the filter mesh bracket 31. At this time, the humidification assembly 3 moves toward the water tank 4, and the first end of the humidification assembly 3 is located inside the water tank 4. When the water tank 4 is switched from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the buckle 241 slides along the slide section to the snap-fit section 34 and is in snap-fit with the snap-fit section 34, and at the same time drives the filter mesh bracket 31 to move in the direction away from the water tank 4, the humidification assembly 3 is away from the water tank 4. At this time, the connector 24 may support the filter mesh bracket 31, and the humidification assembly 3 may stably maintain a state away from the water tank 4.

[0076] Specifically, for example, the snap-fit section 34 is horizontally provided on the filter mesh bracket 31, and the snap-fit section 34 may play a role of snap-fit limit on the buckle 241. However, it should be understood that the snap-fit section 34 may also be inclinedly provided at the filter mesh bracket 31.

[0077] Specifically, for example, the slide section has an arc-shaped structure. However, it should be understood that the slide section may also be any other suitable shape.

[0078] In an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 13, the water tank 4 is provided with a notch 43 matching the humidification assembly 3, where an end of the water tank 4 abuts against the linkage assembly 2 during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state. When in use, when the water tank 4 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, the water tank 4 and the humidification assembly 3 move relative to each other, and the humidification assembly 3 is located at the position of the notch 43. When the water tank 4 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 11, the humidification assembly 3 and the notch 43 of the water tank 4 move relative to each other. That is, when the water tank 4 enters into and exits from the mounting cavity 11, the water tank 4 will not be blocked by the humidification assembly 3 due to the notch 43, the water tank 4 may quickly enter into and exit from the mounting cavity 11 to quickly switch the water tank 4 between the mounted state and the disengaged state.

[0079] Specifically, for example, the notch 43 has an arc-shaped structure. In the mounted state, the notch 43 is provided around an outer wall surface of the humidification assembly 3. When in use, the notch 43 with the arc-shaped structure is matched with the humidification assembly 3. In the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the notch 43 with the arc-shaped structure on the water tank 4 gradually moves toward the humidification assembly 3, and the notch 43 with the arc-shaped structure fits the outer wall surface of the humidification assembly 3. In the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the notch 43 with the arc-shaped structure on the water tank 4 gradually moves away from the humidification assembly 3, the notch 43 is out of contact with the humidification assembly 3. In this way, when the water tank 4 is in different states, the water tank 4 only occupies the space between the humidification assembly 3 and the mounting cavity 11, and the water tank 4 may be better coordinated with the humidification assembly 3. However, it should be understood that the notch 43 may also be any other suitable shape.

[0080] As shown in FIG. 13, the end of the water tank 4 is provided with a support block 44, and the support block 44 abuts against the linkage assembly 2 during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state. When in use, when the water tank 4 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11, the support block 44 abuts against the fixed frame 23 or the rotary bracket 26, and the support block 44 drives the fixed frame 23 or the rotary bracket 26 to rotate, so that the coil spring and the connector 24 rotate with fixed frame 23 or the rotary bracket 26, and then drives the humidification assembly 3 to move downward, and thus the first end of the humidification assembly 3 is located inside the water trough42. When the water tank 4 is pulled out from the mounting cavity 11, the support block 44 no longer abuts against the fixed frame 23 or the rotary bracket 26, the coil spring may restore from deformation, and at the same time drive the fixed frame 23 to rotate, and thus the connector 24 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move upward.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, the humidification module includes a water trough 42 located below the water tank 4, where during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 moves in the third direction and is located in the water trough 42; and during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 moves in the fourth direction and away from the water trough 42. When in use, during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the water tank 4 is mounted inside the mounting cavity 11 and is located above the water trough 42, the water inside the water tank 4 flows into the water trough 42, and the water tank 4 drives the linkage assembly 2 to move, the linkage assembly 2 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the third direction, and thus the first end of the humidification assembly 3 is located inside the water trough 42, and then the humidification assembly 3 may absorb the water in the water trough 42 to humidify the gas. When it needs to add water to the water tank 4, the water tank 4 is switched from the mounted state to the disengaged state, and the water tank 4 is pulled out of the mounting cavity. At the same time, the linkage assembly 2 drives the humidification assembly 3 to move in the fourth direction and away from the water trough 42, so that the humidification assembly 3 will not be immersed in the water in the water trough 42, thereby preventing the humidification assembly 3 from being immersed in the water trough 42 for a long time to breed bacteria and preventing unnecessary loss of the humidification assembly 3.

[0082] In the embodiment of the present application, for example, the water trough 42 is integrally formed with the water tank 4. When in use, when the water tank 4 is pulled out of the mounting cavity 11, the water trough 42 may be pulled out together, and then operations such as cleaning may be performed on the water trough 42.

[0083] In the embodiment of the present application, for example, the water trough 42 is detachably connected to the water tank 4. When in use, the user may select connecting the water trough 42 and the water tank 4 together or disengaging the water trough 42from the water tank 4 according to actual needs. The water trough 42 and the water tank 4 may be connected as a whole for use, or the water trough 42 and the water tank 4 may be used as two separate components.

[0084] A humidifier according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the humidifier includes a power module 5 and the above-mentioned humidification module. The power module 5 is mounted on the humidification module, and the power module 5 is used to suck external gas via the air inlet and make the external gas flow through the humidification assembly 3 and then flow out via the air outlet. When in use, the power module starts to work, the external gas enters the humidifier via the air inlet, and then the gas flows out from the air outlet after passing through the humidification assembly 3. At this time, the gas flowing out of the air outlet is gas humidified by the humidification assembly 3. In this way, the humidifier is provided with a humidifying function.

[0085] It should be noted that the air inlet and the air outlet may be provided at the power module 5 or on the humidification module. In a possible embodiment, one of the air inlet and the air outlet is provided at the power module 5, and another of the air inlet and the air outlet is provided at the humidification module.

[0086] A humidification purifier according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, includes the above-mentioned humidification module, and the humidification purifier has all the effects of the above-mentioned humidification module.

[0087] Specifically, the humidification purifier is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, and the humidification purifier includes a power module 5 and a purification module 6, the purification module 6 at least partially surrounds the humidification module, and the power module 5 is used to make the external gas flow through the air inlet, the purification module 6, the humidification module and the air outlet in sequence. When in use, the power module 5 starts to work, the external gas flows via the air inlet to the purification module 6. Since the purification module 6 at least partially surrounds the humidification module, the gas is purified through the purification module 6 and then passes through the humidification module. The humidification module increases the humidity of the gas, and then the gas flows out through the air outlet. In this way, purification and humidification of the gas are achieved.

[0088] In an embodiment of the present application, during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, a first end of the humidification module gradually move closer to the water tank 4, and a surrounding area of the purification module 6 around the humidification module gradually decreases; during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, a first end of the humidification module gradually moves away from the water tank 4, and the surrounding area of the purification module 6 around the humidification module gradually increases. When in use, during the process of switching the water tank 4 from the disengaged state to the mounted state, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 moves in the third direction relative to the mounting cavity 11 and gradually moves closer to the water tank 4. When the first end of the humidification assembly 3 gradually moves closer to the water tank 4, the first end of the humidification assembly 3 will gradually move away from the purification module 6, and the surrounding area of the purification module 6 around the humidification module will gradually decrease. During the process of switching the water tank 4 from the mounted state to the disengaged state, the first end of the humidification assembly moves relative to the mounting cavity 11 in the fourth direction and gradually moves away from the water tank 4, then the first end of the humidification assembly 3 will gradually move closer to the purification module 6, and the area of the purification module 6 provided around the humidification module gradually increases.

However, it should be understood that a connection sequence between the power module 5, the purification module 6 and the humidification module may be adjusted.

[0090] In an embodiment of the present application, the power module 5, the purification module 6 and the humidification module are detachably connected to each other. When in use, the power module 5, the purification module 6 and the humidification module may be detachably connected to each other, and one of the power module 5, the purification module 6 and the humidification module may be replaced or disassembled separately to facilitate the replacement of one of the power module 5, the purification module 6 and the humidification module, and especially quick replacement of the purification module 6 or the humidification module when they are consumable items.

[0091] In an embodiment of the present application, the power module 5 is fixedly connected to the purification module, and the humidification module and the power module 5 or the purification module 6 are detachably connected to each other. When in use, the power module 5 and the purification module 6 are fixedly mounted together to form an assembly, and the humidification module and one of the power module 5 or the purification module 6 may be detachably connected to each other, thereby facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the humidification module, and replacement or cleaning thereof.

[0092] In an embodiment of the present application, for example, the power module 5 consists of a motor and a wind turbine, and the motor drives the wind turbine to rotate, thereby driving the gas flow.
