Abstract

An atomization device having a safety protection device and a control circuit includes: a main body, a water tank in which an inspection device component is provided, and an atomization room designed in the main body, under the atomization room an atomization groove with a safety protection device is designed for the safety of user. The safety protection device is equipped with a shell comprising upper and lower covers. A nebulizer is placed in the shell, and protective panel is designed under the nebulizer. The protective panel will be combined well with a ring-shaped cover to separate the protective panel from the nebulizer properly.

Claims

1. An atomization device having a safety protection device and a control circuit comprising:

a main body;

a water tank designed in the main body, a water outlet valve designed at a bottom wall of the water tank; and

an atomization room designed in the main body, an atomization groove provided under the atomization room;

wherein the safety protection device is designed at the atomization groove, and has a shell enclosing a nebulizer and a protective panel positioned below the nebulizer, the nebulizer and the protective panel are separately connected to the control circuit, but not directly connected to a same electrode of the control circuit, so that when the nebulizer is damaged and water seeps into the protective panel, the protective panel will produce an electric potential which will drive the control circuit to cut off the power of the nebulizer.

2. The atomization device, as recited in claim 1, wherein the shell of the safety protection device has an upper cover and a lower cover.

3. The atomization device, as recited in claim 2, wherein the shell of the safety protection device is detachable from the main body.

4. The atomization device, as recited in claim 2, wherein the upper cover of the shell of the safety protection device is integral with the main body.

5. The atomization device, as recited in claim 1, wherein a periphery of the nebulizer of the safety protection device is covered by a ring-shaped cover.

6. The atomization device, as recited in claim 5, wherein a gap is kept between the protective panel and the nebulizer.

7. An atomization device having a safety protection device and a control circuit comprising:

a main body;

a water tank coupled to the main body;

an atomization room coupled to the main body, an atomization groove provided under the atomization room;

wherein the safety protection device is provided in the atomization groove, and has a shell enclosing a nebulizer and a protective panel positioned below the nebulizer;

wherein the control circuit comprises a resistor electrically connected to the protective panel, two terminals electrically connected to the nebulizer and controlled by a relay, and a driving circuit electrically connected to the resistor and the relay.

8. The atomization device, as recited in claim 7, wherein the shell of the safety protection device has an upper cover and a lower cover.

9. The atomization device, as recited in claim 7, wherein the shell of the safety protection device is detachable from the main body.

10. The atomization device, as recited in claim 8, wherein the upper cover of the shell is made integral with the main body.

11. The atomization device, as recited in claim 7, wherein a periphery of nebulizer of the safety protection device is covered and fastened by a ring-shaped cover.

12. The atomization device, as recited in claim 7, wherein a predetermined gap is kept between the protective panel and the nebulizer.

13. The atomization device, as recited in claim 7, wherein the water tank has a water outlet valve at its bottom wall, the main body has a hollow post positioned under the water tank, and an inspection sensor is positioned in the hollow post.
