Abstract

A humidifier includes a base, a liquid tank detachably connected with the base, an automizer element is arranged at a bottom of the liquid tank; and a circuit board is arranged inside the base. When the liquid tank is connected with the base, the automizer element is electrically connected with the circuit board, and when the liquid tank is separated from the base, the automizer element is disconnected with the circuit board.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed as new and desired to be protected by Letters Patent, is: 
     
         1 . A humidifier, comprising:
 a base;   a liquid tank detachably connected with the base;   an automizer element is arranged at a bottom of the liquid tank; and   a circuit board is arranged inside the base,   wherein when the liquid tank is connected with the base, the automizer element is electrically connected with the circuit board, and when the liquid tank is separated from the base, the automizer element is disconnected with the circuit board.   
     
     
         2 . The humidifier according to  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a base body and a base cover connected with the base body to form an accommodating space for accommodating the circuit board. 
     
     
         3 . The humidifier according to  claim 2 , wherein the base cover defines a slot, a first electrical connecting member extending through the slot to connect the automizer element. 
     
     
         4 . The humidifier according to  claim 3 , wherein the first electrical member comprises a first electrical connecting piece arranged at a side of the base cover away from the base body and a second electrical connecting piece electrically connected with the first electrical connecting piece, the second electrical connecting piece extends through the slot so as to connect the circuit board. 
     
     
         5 . The humidifier according to  claim 4 , wherein first electrical connecting piece is annular. 
     
     
         6 . The humidifier according to  claim 4 , wherein the second electrical connecting piece extends vertically relative to the first electrical connecting piece. 
     
     
         7 . The humidifier according to  claim 4 , wherein the second electrical connecting piece and the first electrical connecting piece are integrally formed. 
     
     
         8 . The humidifier according to  claim 4 , wherein the automizer element is connected at a bottom of the liquid tank through a connecting plate, a second electrical connecting element arranged on the connecting plate electrically connected with the automizer element and the first electrical connecting element. 
     
     
         9 . The humidifier according to  claim 8 , wherein the liquid tank comprises a tank body and a bottom plate connected at a bottom wall of the tank body, the connecting plate is arranged between the tank body and the bottom plate, a bottom wall of the tank body defines a through hole, the automizer element extends into the tank body through the through hole. 
     
     
         10 . The humidifier according to  claim 9 , wherein a waterproof sealing element arranged inside the through hole surrounds the automizer element and resists against a sidewall of the automizer element. 
     
     
         11 . The humidifier according to  claim 9 , wherein the bottom wall of the tank body is recessed to define a recess facing the connecting plate, when the connecting plate is connected with the tank body, a receiving space is formed between the bottom wall of the tank body and the connecting plate for receiving the connecting plate. 
     
     
         12 . The humidifier according to  claim 8 , wherein the bottom plate defines a through hole, the second electrical connecting element extends through the through hole so as to be capable of being connected with the first electrical connecting element when the liquid tank is connected with the base. 
     
     
         13 . The humidifier according to  claim 12 , wherein the second electrical connecting element is a metal pin. 
     
     
         14 . The humidifier according to  claim 2 , further comprising a fan arranged inside the accommodating space, the liquid tank is provided with a first hollow column with a through hole, the first hollow column communicates with the accommodating space through the through hole so that air flow out from the fan is capable of flowing into the liquid tank through the through hole. 
     
     
         15 . The humidifier according to  claim 14 , wherein a second hollow column extends from the base cover corresponding to the first hollow column, the second hollow column is capable of received inside the first hollow column. 
     
     
         16 . The humidifier according to  claim 14 , wherein a bottom wall of the base body is defined with an air inlet corresponding to the fan.
