[0048] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0049] Combination Figure 1-5 As shown, the first embodiment of this application provides a filter assembly, including a filter frame 100 and a damping structure 140. The filter frame 100 includes a main frame 110 and a sub-frame 120, with the sub-frame 120 hinged to one side of the main frame 110. The damping structure 140 includes a first tooth 141 and a second tooth 142. The first tooth 141 is disposed on the main frame 110, and the second tooth 142 is disposed on the sub-frame 120, with the first tooth 141 meshing with the second tooth 142.

[0050] In this embodiment, the filter frame 100 consists of a main frame 110 and a sub-frame 120, and the sub-frame 120 is rotatable relative to the main frame 110. The meshing design of the first gear 141 and the second gear 142 provides a damping effect, giving the sub-frame 120 a certain resistance and stability when rotating relative to the main frame 110. During transportation, the sub-frame 120 is rotated and folded towards the main frame 110, and it is not easily unraveled after folding due to the damping structure 140, making it easy to stack multiple filter frames 100. During installation, the sub-frame 120 is rotated and opened to form the required shape, and it is not easily deformed after opening due to the damping structure 140, making it easy to install the filter frame 100. In this way, compared with a filter frame 100 with a fixed shape, the area occupied during transportation is effectively reduced, and the transportation cost is saved. During installation, the shape can be adjusted according to the installation requirements.

[0051] Optionally, such as Figure 1 As shown, both the main frame 110 and the secondary frame 120 are provided with mounting frames for mounting the filter media 160, which performs the filtering function. Furthermore, the filter media 160 is interference-fitted with the mounting frames, which enhances the connection strength between the filter media 160 and the mounting frame, and also improves the sealing performance of the filter assembly.

[0052] Optionally, both the main frame 110 and the secondary frame 120 are constructed as rectangular frames.

[0053] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the main frame 110 has cantilever 111 on its first and second sides respectively; two sub-frames 120 are respectively hinged to the two cantilever 111, and are referred to as the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 respectively; wherein, the height of the hinge point of the first frame 121 is greater than the height of the hinge point of the second frame 122, and when the first frame 121 rotates to be parallel to the main frame 110, the two have a first gap, and when the second frame 122 rotates to be parallel to the main frame 110, it is located within the first gap.

[0054] In this embodiment, due to the different hinge heights of the first frame 121 and the second frame 122, the first frame 121 is folded towards the main frame 110 first, and then the second frame 122 is folded towards the main frame 110. When the two sub-frames 120 rotate to be parallel to the main frame 110, the second frame 122 is located within the first gap between the first frame 121 and the main frame 110. In this way, the filter assembly is more compact in the folded state, and the first frame 121 plays a role in preventing the second frame 122 from spreading out, effectively preventing the filter assembly from accidentally spreading out during transportation or storage. Preferably, the first side of the main frame 110 is provided with two oppositely arranged cantilever arms 111, and the first frame 121 is hinged to the two cantilever arms 111; the second side of the main frame 110 is provided with two oppositely arranged cantilever arms 111, and the second frame 122 is hinged to the two cantilever arms 111.

[0055] Optionally, the filter frame 100 has a transport position, which corresponds to the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 both being parallel to the main frame 110. In this way, adjusting the filter frame 100 to the transport position during transportation can effectively reduce the area occupied.

[0056] For example, the thickness of the second frame 122 is the same as the width of the first gap. Figure 5 As shown, during transport, the second frame 122 is attached to the main frame 110, and the first frame 121 is attached to the second frame 122. This makes the entire filter assembly more compact and less prone to shaking.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, the filter frame 100 has an installation position corresponding to the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 being rotated to be perpendicular to the main frame 110. Thus, in the installation position, the entire filter assembly forms a U-shape. It is understood that the filter frame 100 can also have various different installation positions, for example, the first frame 121 and the second frame 122 may both be at a 45° angle to the main frame 110, or the first frame 121 may be at a 30° angle to the main frame 110, and the second frame 122 may be at a 60° angle to the main frame 110. These adjustments need to be made according to installation requirements and are all within the scope of this application.

[0058] Optionally, the cantilever 111 is perpendicular to the main frame 110, and the two cantilever 111s are located on the same side of the main frame 110. In this way, the perpendicular arrangement of the cantilever 111 can provide better structural support, and the two cantilever 111s being located on the same side facilitates the relative folding of the two sub-frames 120.

[0059] Optionally, the main frame 110 has a cantilever 111 on only the first side, and a sub-frame 120 is hinged to the cantilever 111.

[0060] In this embodiment, the transport position corresponds to the sub-frame 120 rotating to be parallel to the main frame 110, and preferably the sub-frame 120 is abutting against the main frame 110. The installation position corresponds to the sub-frame 120 rotating to be perpendicular to the main frame 110, at which point the entire filter assembly forms an L-shape. Preferably, the first side of the main frame 110 is provided with two oppositely arranged cantilever arms 111, and the sub-frame 120 is hinged to the two cantilever arms 111.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first gear tooth 141 is disposed at the end of the cantilever 111; the sub-frame 120 is provided with a connecting plate 130, the connecting plate 130 having a first plate surface 131 and a second plate surface 132, the second gear tooth 142 being disposed on the first plate surface 131 and opposite to the first gear tooth 141; and the second plate surface 132 being hinged to the cantilever 111 via a pivot 133.

[0062] In this embodiment, by placing the first tooth 141 at the end of the cantilever 111 and the second tooth 142 on the first plate surface 131 of the connecting plate 130, a compact arrangement of the tooth structure and the hinge structure is achieved. This ensures smooth meshing between the two teeth when the filter assembly is folded and unfolded, without occupying excessive additional space. Preferably, the first plate surface 131 is perpendicular to the second plate surface 132.

[0063] Optionally, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first gear tooth 141 is disposed on the side of the cantilever 111; the sub-frame 120 is provided with a connecting plate 130, and the second gear tooth 142 is disposed at the end of the connecting plate 130 and opposite to the first gear tooth 141; furthermore, the side of the connecting plate 130 is hinged to the side of the cantilever 111 via a pivot 133. In this way, by disposing the first gear tooth 141 on the side of the cantilever 111 and the second gear tooth 142 at the end of the connecting plate 130, a compact arrangement of the gear tooth structure and the hinge structure is achieved.

[0064] Optionally, the pivot 133 is mounted on the cantilever 111, or the pivot 133 is mounted on the connecting plate 130.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, the main frame 110 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 150, which is used to snap-fit ​​with external equipment. In this way, the main frame 110 can be easily installed and disassembled with external equipment through the snap-fit ​​structure 150, and the snap-fit ​​structure 150 can prevent the filter assembly from loosening or falling off during use.

[0066] Optionally, the sub-frame 120 is provided with a snap-fit ​​structure 150 for snapping with an external device. Here, either the sub-frame 120 or the main frame 110 may be provided with the snap-fit ​​structure 150, or both may be provided with the snap-fit ​​structure 150.

[0067] This disclosure also provides an air conditioner including the above-described filter assembly.

[0068] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner consists of a main unit 400 and a sub-unit 410. The main unit 400 has a nacelle 401, and the sub-unit 410 is movably installed within the nacelle 401. Thus, the sub-unit 410 can be placed inside the nacelle 401 or moved to any location outside the nacelle 401 according to user needs. Both the main unit 400 and the sub-unit 410 have air inlets. A filter assembly is located at the air inlet of the main unit 400, or at the air inlet of the sub-unit 410, or two filter assemblies are located at the air inlets of the main unit 400 and the sub-unit 410, respectively.

[0069] Combination Figure 6-9 As shown, the second embodiment of this application provides a fan assembly, including a fan body 200 and a purification component 210. Figure 6 As shown, the fan body 200 includes an impeller 201; the purification component 210 includes a lamp tube 211 and a Tesla coil structure 212; wherein, the lamp tube 211 is disposed on the impeller 201 and located in the airflow path, and the lamp tube 211 contains a substance that can be excited by an electromagnetic field to emit light and kill bacteria; the Tesla coil structure 212 is used to provide an electromagnetic field, and the electromagnetic field covers the rotation trajectory of the lamp tube 211.

[0070] In this embodiment, the lamp tube 211 rotates synchronously when the impeller 201 rotates, and the electromagnetic field provided by the Tesla coil structure 212 covers the rotation trajectory of the lamp tube 211, thus ensuring that the material encapsulated inside the lamp tube 211 can be excited by the electromagnetic field. When the material is excited, it emits light and sterilizes the air flowing through the impeller 201. In this way, compared with a fixed germicidal lamp, the light emitted by the lamp tube 211 covers a larger area when the impeller 201 rotates, and the sterilization effect is more uniform.

[0071] Optionally, the electromagnetic field includes a primary electromagnetic field and a secondary electromagnetic field. For example... Figure 8As shown, the Tesla coil structure 212 includes a primary coil 213 and a secondary coil 214. The primary coil 213 is connected to a power source to generate a primary electromagnetic field; the secondary coil 214 can form mutual inductive coupling with the primary electromagnetic field to generate a secondary electromagnetic field; wherein, the secondary coil 214 is disposed on the impeller 201 and close to the lamp tube 211 to excite the lamp tube 211 through the secondary electromagnetic field; and the primary electromagnetic field covers the rotational trajectory of the lamp tube 211 and the secondary coil 214.

[0072] In this embodiment, the "Tesla coil" is essentially an oscillating circuit composed of a capacitor and a coil. After the primary coil 213 is energized, the secondary coil 214 generates high voltage and high-frequency electromagnetic waves. These electromagnetic waves, broken down, are essentially an oscillating "magnetic field" plus an oscillating "electric field." In this design, the secondary coil 214 rotates synchronously with the lamp tube 211 along with the impeller 201, while the primary coil 213 is fixed. Here, the primary electromagnetic field covers the trajectory of the secondary electromagnetic field, ensuring that the rotating secondary coil 214 can form mutual inductive coupling with the primary electromagnetic field, thereby generating a stable secondary electromagnetic field. The secondary coil 214 is close to the lamp tube 211, ensuring that the secondary electromagnetic field can stably excite the lamp tube 211. The lamp tube 211 contains mercury vapor and inert gas. Because the lamp tube 211 is placed in the secondary electromagnetic field, the charges inside the lamp tube 211 oscillate with the constantly changing electromagnetic field. These oscillating charges collide with the gas molecules encapsulated inside the lamp tube 211, thereby exciting the mercury vapor and generating ultraviolet light.

[0073] Air contains microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. When ultraviolet light shines on the surface of microorganisms, it can penetrate the cell membrane and cell wall, directly acting on the DNA or RNA molecules inside. Through photochemical action, ultraviolet light breaks the chemical bonds in the DNA or RNA molecules, causing damage to the nucleic acid molecule structure, thereby causing the microorganisms to lose their ability to replicate and reproduce and eventually die, thus sterilizing the air flowing through impeller 201.

[0074] Optionally, such as Figure 6 As shown, the fan body 200 also includes a volute 202, which has an air duct inlet 203 and an air duct outlet, and an impeller 201 is disposed inside the volute 202; the primary coil 213 is disposed on the outside of the volute 202 and is arranged around the air duct inlet 203.

[0075] In this embodiment, the primary coil 213 is disposed on the outside of the volute 202, which helps to reduce the resistance to airflow inside the volute 202. The primary coil 213 is arranged around the air duct inlet 203, which can form a relatively uniform primary electromagnetic field, thereby more effectively exciting the ultraviolet rays in the lamp tube 211 and improving the sterilization efficiency.

[0076] Optionally, such as Figure 8 As shown, the lamp tube 211 is disposed on the inner side of the impeller 201, and the secondary coil 214 is disposed on the outer side of the impeller 201. In this way, the space of the impeller 201 can be utilized to the maximum extent, avoiding spatial conflict between the lamp tube 211 and the secondary coil 214, which is conducive to the compact structure.

[0077] Optionally, such as Figure 9 As shown, the lamp tube 211 is located at the edge of the impeller 201, and the secondary coil 214 is located on the inner or outer side of the impeller 201. This arrangement, with the lamp tube 211 positioned at the edge of the impeller 201, helps reduce light source obstruction and expands the illumination range. Furthermore, with the secondary coil 214 located on the inner side, the flowing air can effectively dissipate heat from the secondary coil 214.

[0078] Optionally, multiple lamp tubes 211 are evenly arranged around the impeller 201, and each lamp tube 211 is provided with a secondary coil 214, and multiple secondary coils 214 correspond to a primary coil 213.

[0079] In this embodiment, the primary electromagnetic field generated by the primary coil 213 covers all the secondary coils 214, thereby ensuring that all the secondary coils 214 can generate secondary electromagnetic fields, thus ensuring that all the lamps 211 can be effectively excited. Furthermore, since the lamps 211 are uniformly arranged, the ultraviolet radiation is also uniform. In this way, when air passes through the impeller 201, all areas can receive uniform sterilization treatment, avoiding the problem of poor sterilization in certain areas.

[0080] Optionally, along the rotation trajectory of the lamp tube 211, the light emission range of the lamp tube 211 covers the air duct inlet 203. When air flows into the volute 202 from the air duct inlet 203, it can be irradiated by the light, thereby enhancing the sterilization efficiency of the air during the flow process.

[0081] This disclosure also provides an air conditioner including the above-described filter assembly.

[0082] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner consists of a main unit 400 and a sub-unit 410. The main unit 400 has a nacelle 401, and the sub-unit 410 is movably installed within the nacelle 401. Thus, the sub-unit 410 can be placed inside the nacelle 401 or moved to any location outside the nacelle 401 according to user needs. Furthermore, a fan assembly is installed on the sub-unit 410, thereby enabling the sub-unit 410 to have a sterilization function. Alternatively, the fan assembly is installed on the main unit 400, thereby enabling the main unit 400 to have a sterilization function. Alternatively, both the main unit 400 and the sub-unit 410 have fan assemblies, thereby enabling both the main unit 400 and the sub-unit 410 to have a sterilization function.

[0083] Optionally, when the fan assembly is mounted on the sub-unit 410, the sub-unit 410 includes a humidifying water tank 220, the humidifying water tank 220 having a humidifying component inside and a moisture outlet 221 at its top; such as Figure 7 As shown, the fan assembly is positioned above the humidifying water tank 220; the fan body 200 also includes a volute 202, which has an air duct inlet 203 and an air duct outlet, and the impeller 201 is disposed inside the volute 202; and the air duct inlet 203 corresponds to the moisture outlet 221.

[0084] In this embodiment, after air is humidified in the humidifying water tank 220, it enters the volute 202 sequentially through the moisture outlet 221 and the air duct inlet 203. If a conventional germicidal lamp with a power cord is used, a through hole for wiring needs to be made at the air duct inlet 203. In this case, air inside the volute 202 may leak out through the through hole, leading to water leakage. However, this embodiment uses a Tesla coil to excite the lamp tube 211, eliminating the need for drilling holes for wiring, thus avoiding the water leakage problem.

[0085] This disclosure also provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0086] S10: The air conditioner acquires environmental quality parameters;

[0087] S20: The air conditioner controls the voltage of the Tesla coil structure based on environmental quality parameters.

[0088] Optionally, environmental quality parameters include the bacterial count in the air. Different bacterial counts lead to different sterilization needs from users. Furthermore, different voltages in the Tesla coil structure result in different intensities of the sterilizing light emitted by the lamp.

[0089] Optionally, step S20 includes:

[0090] S21: When the environmental quality parameters are greater than or equal to the preset parameters, the air conditioner controls the Tesla coil structure to operate at the first voltage.

[0091] S22: When the environmental quality parameters are less than the preset parameters, the air conditioner controls the Tesla coil structure to operate at a second voltage; wherein the second voltage is greater than the first voltage.

[0092] In this embodiment, an environmental quality parameter greater than or equal to a preset parameter indicates good air quality. An environmental quality parameter less than the preset parameter indicates poor air quality. Here, the Tesla coil structure operates with a higher power at the second voltage, preferably with the lamp emitting 600,000 uW·s / cm². 2 The light intensity is adjusted to increase the sterilization effect. The Tesla coil structure operates with relatively low power at the initial voltage; preferably, the lamp emits 1000-10000 uW·s / cm². 2The light intensity is adjusted to reduce energy consumption while purifying the air.

[0093] This disclosure also provides a method for controlling an air conditioner, including:

[0094] S10: The air conditioner acquires environmental quality parameters;

[0095] S20: The air conditioner controls the voltage of the Tesla coil structure according to environmental quality parameters;

[0096] S30: The air conditioner controls the speed of the fan assembly based on environmental quality parameters.

[0097] Here, steps S20 and S30 can be executed simultaneously.

[0098] Optionally, step S30 includes:

[0099] S31: When the environmental quality parameter is greater than or equal to the preset parameter, the air conditioner controls the fan assembly to run at the first speed.

[0100] S32: When the environmental quality parameters are less than the preset parameters, the air conditioner controls the fan assembly to operate at a second speed; wherein the second speed is greater than the first speed.

[0101] In this embodiment, when the air quality is poor, the air conditioner controls the fan assembly to operate at a second speed, resulting in rapid air circulation. Furthermore, in conjunction with the Tesla coil structure operating at a second voltage, the lamp emits a higher light intensity, thereby achieving rapid sterilization and fully meeting the user's need for quick air purification. When the air quality is good, the air conditioner controls the fan assembly to operate at a first speed, resulting in slower air circulation. Furthermore, in conjunction with the Tesla coil structure operating at a first voltage, the lamp emits a lower light intensity, thereby reducing energy consumption while purifying the air.

[0102] Optionally, if the environmental quality parameters are lower than preset parameters, the air conditioner will flash an indicator light to alert the user that the current air quality is poor. Furthermore, a user confirmation step can be added before executing steps S22 and S23, and the corresponding steps will be executed only after the user confirms.

[0103] Combination Figure 10-14 As shown, the third embodiment of this application provides a water tank assembly, including a water tank body 300. As... Figure 10 As shown, the water tank body 300 includes a first water tank 310 and a second water tank 320, and the first water tank 310 is detachably disposed within the second water tank 320; as Figure 11As shown, the first water tank 310 is provided with a valve body 311, and the conduction direction of the valve body 311 is limited to flow from the first water tank 310 to the second water tank 320; the second water tank 320 is provided with a valve needle 321, which corresponds to the valve body 311, and the valve body 311 is triggered to conduct when the valve needle 321 touches the valve body 311.

[0104] In this embodiment, after the first water tank 310 is removed from the second water tank 320, the valve body 311 detaches from the valve needle 321. At this time, the valve body 311 is in the closed state, allowing water to be injected into the first water tank 310. After water injection is completed, the first water tank 310 is inserted into the second water tank 320, and the valve body 311 contacts the valve needle 321. At this time, the valve body 311 is in the conductive state, and the valve body 311 is unidirectional, allowing water in the first water tank 310 to flow into the second water tank 320. In this way, water injection can be completed simply by disassembling and assembling the first water tank 310, without having to remove the entire water tank assembly, which is more convenient and flexible.

[0105] Optionally, such as Figure 12 As shown, the top surface of the first water tank 310 is provided with an insertion interface 312, and the periphery of the insertion interface 312 is provided with a downwardly extending insertion enclosure 313; the bottom surface of the second water tank 320 is provided with a ventilation opening 322, and the periphery of the ventilation opening 322 is provided with an upwardly extending waterproof enclosure 323; and the first water tank 310 is inserted into the waterproof enclosure 323 through the insertion enclosure 313.

[0106] In this embodiment, air below the water tank assembly can flow upwards through the vent 322. The waterproof enclosure 323 prevents water stored in the second water tank 320 from flowing towards the vent 322. Furthermore, the waterproof enclosure 323 also serves as a connector. During installation, the connector 312 is aligned with the vent 322, and then the first water tank 310 is inserted into the second water tank 320 from top to bottom. At this time, the connector 313 is inserted into the waterproof enclosure 323. Preferably, the inner wall of the connector 313 corresponds to the outer wall of the waterproof enclosure 323.

[0107] Optionally, the first water tank 310 is provided with a first water trough 314 and a second water trough 315 that are connected to each other, and the first water trough 314 and the second water trough 315 are respectively located on both sides of the insertion interface 312. In this way, when filling with water, only one water trough needs to be filled to fill both water troughs. Furthermore, the layout of the two water troughs is beneficial for maintaining balance when handling the first water tank 310.

[0108] Optionally, such as Figure 13 As shown, a water passage 316 is provided on one side of the insertion interface 312, and the first end of the water passage 316 is connected to the first water tank 314, and the second end of the water passage 316 is connected to the second water tank 315.

[0109] In this embodiment, the water passage 316 is horizontally arranged and located near the upper part of the first water tank 314. Water is poured into one of the tanks, and once the water level reaches the water passage 316, the water flows to the other tank. During this process, the two tanks maintain a certain water level difference, thereby reducing the risk of water overflowing from the first water tank 310. Simultaneously, since the two tanks are connected, even if the water level in one tank is slightly higher, water will flow through the water passage 316 to the other tank, achieving balance.

[0110] Optionally, at least one of the first water tank 314 and the second water tank 315 has a valve body 311 at its bottom; the bottom surface of the second water tank 320 has the same number of valve needles 321 as the valve body 311. In this way, the user can select a suitable water tank to install the valve body 311 according to actual needs.

[0111] For example, if the bottom of the first water tank 314 is provided with a valve body 311, then the bottom surface of the second water tank 320 is provided with a corresponding valve needle 321.

[0112] As another example, if the bottom of the second water tank 315 is provided with a valve body 311, then the bottom surface of the second water tank 320 is provided with a corresponding valve needle 321.

[0113] In another example, if the bottom of the first water tank 314 and the second water tank 315 are respectively provided with valve bodies 311, then the bottom surface of the second water tank 320 is provided with two valve needles 321, which correspond to the two valve bodies 311 respectively.

[0114] Optionally, the top of the first water tank 310 is provided with a cover plate 340, and the cover plate 340 covers the insertion interface 312. In this way, the cover plate 340 can effectively prevent dust, dirt and other impurities from entering the insertion interface 312, thereby preventing them from entering the ventilation opening 322.

[0115] Optionally, the cover plate 340 simultaneously covers the socket 312, the opening of the first water tank 314, and the opening of the second water tank 315. In this way, the cover plate 340 can effectively prevent dust, dirt, and other impurities from entering the socket 312 and the first water tank 310, and thus prevent them from entering the vent 322 and the second water tank 320.

[0116] Optionally, such as Figure 14 As shown, a gap 330 exists between the top of the waterproof enclosure 323 and the cover plate 340; furthermore, the plug-in enclosure 313 is provided with a connecting port 331, one end of which connects to the gap 330, and the other end connects to the second water tank 320. In this way, air below the water tank assembly can flow from the vent 322 to the gap 330, and then through the connecting port 331 to the second water tank 320. This optimizes the airflow path.

[0117] Optionally, the insertion interface 312 is constructed as a rectangle, with three adjacent side lines extending downward to form an insertion enclosure 313, and the other side line being left unused and forming a communication opening 331 with the top enclosure of the waterproof enclosure 323.

[0118] In this embodiment, since the insertion enclosure 313 is formed by three extending side lines, a stable contact surface can be formed between the insertion enclosure 313 and the waterproof enclosure 323 when the first water tank 310 is inserted into the second water tank 320. This ensures the stability of the first water tank 310 after insertion and reduces the risk of loosening or detachment due to vibration or external force. Furthermore, although the fourth side line is unused, it forms a communication opening 331 with the top enclosure of the waterproof enclosure 323, simplifying the structure of the water tank assembly.

[0119] Optionally, the water tank assembly also includes a humidification component and an air outlet grille 370. The humidification component includes a water jet 350 and an air outlet duct 360; the water jet 350 is disposed on the second water tank 320, the air outlet duct 360 is covered above the water jet 350, and the air outlet duct 360 is connected to the first water tank 310; the air outlet grille 370 is disposed above the air outlet duct 360, and one side of the air outlet grille 370 can be rotated around to the other side.

[0120] In this embodiment, the water jet 350 swirls the water stored in the second water tank 320, and the air flowing through the swirled water is humidified. The humidified air then flows upwards into the air outlet duct 360. Figure 13 Since the air outlet duct 360 is connected to the first water tank 310, when the first water tank 310 is removed, the air outlet duct 360 is also removed together, thereby exposing the water impeller 350, which facilitates cleaning or maintenance of the water impeller 350. Furthermore, since the air outlet grille 370 can be flipped, the air outlet duct 360 is exposed after flipping, and water can also be injected into the second water tank 320 through the ventilation duct.

[0121] This disclosure also provides an air conditioner including the above-described water tank assembly.

[0122] Optionally, such as Figure 15 As shown, the air conditioner consists of a main unit 400 and a sub-unit 410. The main unit 400 has a compartment 401, and the sub-unit 410 is movably installed within the compartment 401. Thus, the sub-unit 410 can be placed inside the compartment 401 or moved to any location outside the compartment 401 according to user needs. Furthermore, a water tank assembly is installed on the sub-unit 410, thereby enabling the sub-unit 410 to have a humidification function. Alternatively, the water tank assembly is installed on the main unit 400, thereby enabling the main unit 400 to have a humidification function. Alternatively, both the main unit 400 and the sub-unit 410 have water tank assemblies, thereby enabling both the main unit 400 and the sub-unit 410 to have a humidification function.
