[0001] This application relates to the field of home appliance technology, for example to a device for humidity control. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the humidity in the air fluctuates greatly with seasonal changes. Both high and low humidity can affect people's health. Therefore, humidifiers and dehumidifiers are needed for humidification or dehumidification.

This summary is not intended as a general commentary, nor is it intended to identify key / important components or describe the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0006] This disclosure provides a device for humidity regulation to solve the problem that humidification and dehumidification require two separate devices, which occupy a large amount of space.

[0007] In some embodiments, the humidity regulating device includes: a first channel, a second channel, a moisture-absorbing turntable, a first heating device, and a second heating device.

[0039] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0041] Combination Figure 1-4As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for humidity regulation, comprising: a first channel 100, a second channel 200, a moisture-absorbing turntable 300, a first heating device 401, and a second heating device 402. One end of the first channel 100 is connected to an indoor environment, and the other end is connected to an outdoor environment. The second channel 200 is arranged side-by-side with the first channel 100. The moisture-absorbing turntable 300 includes a first portion located in the first channel 100 and a second portion located in the second channel 200. The first heating device 401 is disposed within the first channel 100, and the second heating device 402 is disposed within the second channel 200.

[0042] The humidity control device provided in this embodiment can deliver airflow into the room through one of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, and discharge airflow to the outside through the other. By switching between the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402, humidification or dehumidification can be performed. When the heating device in the channel that delivers airflow into the room is activated, the room is humidified. When the heating device in the channel that discharges airflow to the outside is activated, the room is dehumidified. Thus, the humidity control device of this application has both humidification and dehumidification functions. Humidification and dehumidification can be performed with a single device, saving installation space and reducing costs.

[0043] Optionally, the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 are defined by a housing 500 and a partition 501 disposed within the housing 500, or by two separate pipes. In this way, defining the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 by the partition 501 brings them closer together, facilitating the installation of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300; defining the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 by two separate pipes allows each pipe to operate independently, resulting in a more stable structure.

[0044] Optionally, the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 are defined by a housing 500 and a partition 501 disposed within the housing 500. The partition 501 is provided with a slot 502 through which the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 can pass. In this way, the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 passes through the slot 502, allowing it to enter both the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, absorbing moisture in one channel and releasing moisture in the other, thus achieving better humidification and dehumidification.

[0045] Optionally, the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 are defined by two pipes, which are stacked, and a slot 502 is provided on the side between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. In this way, the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 are close to each other, which facilitates the placement of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200.

[0046] Optionally, the center of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 is located within the slot 502 and connected to the side wall of the slot 502 via a rotating shaft. This allows the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 to rotate within the slot 502, circulating between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. This allows the turntable 300 to absorb moisture in one channel and then rotate to another channel to release it, thus improving humidification and dehumidification.

[0047] Optionally, both the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 include a heating zone 503 and a transition zone 504. The first heating device 401 covers the heating zone 503 in the first channel 100, and the second heating device 402 covers the heating zone 503 in the second channel 200. In this way, after the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 is heated and releases moisture in the heating zone 503, it enters the transition zone 504 and continues to release moisture using residual heat in the airflow. After being appropriately cooled, it enters another channel for moisture absorption, preventing the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 from having a decreased moisture absorption efficiency at high temperatures, which would affect the overall humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0048] Optionally, the heating zone 503 refers to the area within a preset range of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 in the first channel 100 or the second channel 200. This facilitates the placement of the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 within the heating zone 503, thereby better heating the moisture-absorbing turntable 300.

[0049] Optionally, the heating zone 503 and the transition zone 504 within the first channel 100 are obtained by dividing part of the space within the first channel 100 by a partition plate 505 disposed within the first channel 100. In this way, the first channel 100 is divided into two zones by the partition plate 505, and the heating zone 503 and the transition zone 504 have less mutual influence. This allows the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 to be heated more effectively through the heating zone 503, while the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 is cooled in the transition zone.

[0050] Optionally, the structure of the second channel 200 is the same as that of the first channel 100. In this way, the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 can work alternately, and the alternating humidification and dehumidification is more stable.

[0051] Optionally, the partition plate 505 is set within a preset range on the windward side of the moisture-absorbing disc 300. This partitioning of the airflow within the preset range on the windward side of the moisture-absorbing disc 300 prevents mutual interference between the airflows from the heating zone 503 and the transition zone 504, allowing the moisture-absorbing disc 300 to cool down better in the transition zone 504. This also ensures that the temperature of the moisture-absorbing disc 300 decreases after entering another channel, resulting in better moisture absorption and thus improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0052] Optionally, the heating zone 503 and the transition zone 504 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This allows the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 to first enter the heating zone 503 and then the transition zone 504. After being heated and releasing moisture in the heating zone 503, it enters the transition zone 504 and continues to release moisture using residual heat in the airflow. After appropriate cooling, it enters another channel for moisture absorption, preventing a decrease in the moisture absorption efficiency of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 at high temperatures, which would affect the overall humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0053] Optionally, the area of ​​the heating zone 503 is greater than or equal to the area of ​​the transition zone 504. This ensures the heating efficiency of the moisture-absorbing disc 300, improves the efficiency of moisture regeneration, and thus improves the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0054] Optionally, the area of ​​the heating zone 503 is the same as the area of ​​the transition zone 504. In this way, the heating zone 503 and the transition zone 504 have the same area, which facilitates the sufficient cooling of the moisture-absorbing disc 300 after the temperature is raised in the heating zone 503 in the transition zone, so that it can better absorb moisture and improve the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0055] Optionally, a first fan 101 is provided in the first channel 100, and a second fan 201 is provided in the second channel 200. The first fan 101 and the second fan 201 have opposite air outlet directions. In this way, airflows with opposite directions are generated in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, one conveying gas into the room and the other conveying gas to the outside.

[0056] Optionally, the first fan 101 is mounted in the first channel 100 via a fan mounting bracket, and the second fan 201 is mounted in the second channel 200 via a fan mounting bracket. This allows the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 to be more stably fixed in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, improving the stability of the fixing of the first fan 101 and the second fan 201.

[0057] Optionally, the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 are located on the same side of the moisture-absorbing rotary table 300. In this way, the noise generated by the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 can be isolated by the moisture-absorbing rotary table 300, thereby reducing indoor noise and improving the user experience.

[0058] Optionally, the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 are positioned on the outdoor side of the desiccant 300. In this way, the noise generated by the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 is reduced by the isolation provided by the desiccant 300, thus reducing indoor noise and improving the user experience.

[0059] Optionally, both the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 are located on the windward side of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This allows the airflow to pass through the heating devices before passing through the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, which can better heat the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 and improve the efficiency of moisture regeneration on the moisture-absorbing turntable 300.

[0060] Optionally, the first heating device 401 includes a fixing frame 403 and a heating part 404. The fixing frame 403 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the first channel 100; the heating part 404 is disposed within the fixing frame 403. In this way, the first heating device 401 can be better fixed, improving the stability of the first heating device 401.

[0061] Optionally, the heating element 404 is an electric heating wire. This makes the electric heating wire simple in structure and easy to obtain.

[0062] Optionally, the structure of the second heating device 402 is the same as that of the first heating device 401. In this way, when the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 work alternately, the working efficiency is the same, maintaining the stability of humidification and dehumidification.

[0063] Optionally, the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 are respectively disposed on both sides of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. In this way, the airflow directions in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 are opposite. By distributing the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 on both sides of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, the airflow can pass through the heating devices first and then through the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, thereby better heating the moisture-absorbing turntable 300.

[0064] Optionally, the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 are both arranged parallel to the moisture absorption turntable 300. This allows the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 to heat the moisture absorption turntable 300 more evenly, improving the efficiency of moisture regeneration of the moisture absorption turntable 300, and thus improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0065] Optionally, both the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 are commonly used heating devices such as electromagnetic heating, microwave heating, or electric heating wire heating. In this way, using commonly used heating devices to heat the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 results in a simple structure that is easy to obtain and has increased heating efficiency.

[0066] Optionally, both the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 are positioned within a preset range of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This arrangement, with the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 positioned close to the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, allows for better heating of the turntable and improves the efficiency of moisture regeneration on the turntable 300.

[0067] Optionally, the preset range is 2 cm to 10 cm from the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. By placing the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 within this range, it is possible to prevent them from being too close to the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, thus avoiding interference with its rotation or damage. This also allows for better heating of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, improving its moisture regeneration efficiency.

[0068] Optionally, the preset range is 3 cm. In this way, by setting both the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402 at a distance of 3 cm from the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, the heating efficiency of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 can be improved, thereby improving the efficiency of moisture regeneration of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300.

[0069] Combination Figure 6-8 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides another device for humidity regulation, which further includes a sealing plate 510. The sealing plate 510 vertically seals the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, and the moisture-absorbing disc 300 passes vertically through the sealing plate 510. In this way, the airflow is more concentrated, which can better enable the moisture-absorbing disc 300 to absorb or release moisture.

[0070] Optionally, the first heating device 401 includes a heating housing 405 and heating elements 404. The heating housing 405 has an open side and a closed side, with the open side attached to the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. Multiple heating elements 404 are provided and arranged parallel to each other within the heating housing 405, with the gaps between the heating elements 404 and the heating housing 405 defining an airflow channel 406. This allows airflow to pass through the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 and enter the airflow channel 406, then re-enter the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This two-stage passage through the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 allows for better absorption or release of moisture. Furthermore, the airflow channel 406, defined by the heating elements 404, facilitates better heat exchange between the airflow and the heating elements 404, improving heating efficiency and thus enhancing humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0071] Optionally, the first heating device 401 passes through the sealing plate 510, such that half of the airflow channel 406 is located on one side of the sealing plate 510 and the other half is located on the other side of the sealing plate 510. In this way, after the airflow enters the airflow channel, it passes through the airflow channel 406 and then through the sealing plate 510, ensuring the smooth flow of air.

[0072] Optionally, the second heating device 402 has the same structure as the first heating device 401. In this way, by attaching the second heating device 402 to the moisture-absorbing disc 300 in the second channel 200, the airflow in the second channel 200 can also pass through the moisture-absorbing disc 300 twice, thereby improving the efficiency of the moisture-absorbing disc 300 in absorbing or releasing moisture.

[0073] Optionally, the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 are centrifugal fans. Since the airflow resistance generated by passing through the moisture-absorbing disc twice is relatively large, using a centrifugal fan can generate higher negative pressure, making the airflow smoother, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0074] Combination Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a moisture-absorbing turntable. The moisture-absorbing turntable 300 includes a frame portion 301 and a turntable portion 302. The frame portion 301 is provided with a circular mounting frame 303, and the outer edge of the frame portion 301 is connected to the side walls of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200; the turntable portion 302 is disposed within the circular mounting frame 303. In this way, by connecting the frame portion 301 to the side walls of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, airflow can be prevented from passing through the edge of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, and the airflow can be guided through the turntable portion 302, effectively improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0075] Optionally, the moisture-absorbing disc 300 can seal the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. In this way, by completely sealing the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 with the moisture-absorbing disc 300, all the airflow in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 passes through the moisture-absorbing disc 300, thereby improving the efficiency of the moisture-absorbing disc 300 in absorbing and releasing moisture, and thus improving the efficiency of humidification and moisture absorption.

[0076] Optionally, the turntable portion 302 includes a frame and a moisture-absorbing material. The frame is disc-shaped; the moisture-absorbing material is filled inside the frame. Thus, by providing the frame, the structural stability of the turntable portion 302 can be improved, preventing damage to the turntable portion 302.

[0077] Alternatively, the frame can be made of glass fiber or ceramic fiber. This makes the structure stable and lightweight, facilitating the rotation of the turntable 302.

[0078] Optionally, the moisture-absorbing material includes one or more of silica gel, MOF, and molecular sieves. This allows for efficient absorption of moisture from the airflow and efficient release of moisture under heating conditions.

[0079] Optionally, the humidity control device further includes a drive unit 304. The drive unit 304 is mounted on the frame portion 301 and connected to the turntable portion 302, configured to drive the turntable portion 302 to rotate. This allows for stable rotation of the turntable portion 302, improving the accuracy of humidification and moisture absorption.

[0080] Optionally, the edge of the turntable 302 is a gear structure 305, and the drive device 304 includes a motor and a drive gear driven by the motor, the drive gear meshing with the gear structure 305 of the turntable 302. In this way, the rotation of the turntable 302 can be driven more stably, improving the operational stability of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300.

[0081] Combination Figure 10-11 As shown, this disclosure provides another moisture-absorbing turntable. The moisture-absorbing turntable 300 includes a turntable shaft 306 and a turntable portion 302. The center of the turntable portion 302 is connected to the turntable shaft 306 and is installed parallel to the airflow direction within the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. In this way, airflow can pass through both sides of the turntable portion 302, increasing the contact area between the turntable portion 302 and the airflow, and effectively reducing wind resistance.

[0082] Optionally, multiple turntable sections 302 are provided, and they are all arranged at intervals on the turntable shaft 306. In this way, by providing multiple turntable sections 302, the airflow passing through the gaps between the turntable sections 302 can better ensure that the turntable sections 302 come into contact with the airflow.

[0083] Optionally, the gap between the turntable sections 302 is greater than or equal to 0.5 cm and less than or equal to 5 cm. In this way, controlling the gap between the turntable sections 302 between 0.5 and 5 cm allows for better contact with the airflow and reduces wind resistance.

[0084] Combination Figure 12 As shown in the illustration, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides another device for humidity regulation, which further includes a filter device 600. The filter device 600 is disposed at the end of the first channel 100 that communicates with the outside. In this way, the airflow flowing into the room passes through the filter device 600 and is filtered and purified by the filter device 600. The fact that the filter device 600 is disposed at the end that communicates with the outside can prevent dust, bacteria and other impurities from covering the moisture absorption disc 300, affecting the moisture absorption capacity of the moisture absorption disc 300, and thus reducing the humidification efficiency. Furthermore, the filtration by the filter device 600 can remove dust, bacteria and other impurities from the airflow, preventing airflow carrying dust, bacteria and other impurities from entering the room and affecting the indoor air quality.

[0085] Optionally, the filter device 600 is disposed between the moisture-absorbing disc 300 and the first fan 101, and the first fan 101 is configured to blow air toward one side of the moisture-absorbing disc 300. This allows the first fan 101 to blow air toward the filter device 600, and the filter device 600 to filter the airflow before it passes through the moisture-absorbing disc 300. This better filters the airflow passing through the moisture-absorbing disc 300, and better prevents dust, bacteria, and other impurities from accumulating on the moisture-absorbing disc 300, affecting its water absorption capacity, and thus reducing humidification efficiency.

[0086] Optionally, the filter device 600 is inclined within the first channel 100. This facilitates the collection of dust and other foreign objects towards the inclined side, reduces dust accumulation on the filter device 600, keeps the filter device 600 clean, and improves the filtration effect.

[0087] Optionally, the filter device 600 has a preset tilt angle relative to the airflow direction within the first channel 100, and the preset tilt angle is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than or equal to 75 degrees. In this way, setting the tilt angle of the filter device 600 between 45 degrees and 75 degrees can better utilize the tilt angle to collect dust and other impurities accumulated on the surface of the filter device 600 to one end, without hindering the filtration effect of the filter device 600.

[0088] Optionally, the preset tilt angle is 60 degrees. In this way, by setting the tilt angle of the filter device 600 to 60 degrees, the dust and other impurities on the surface of the filter device 600 can be collected at one end of the filter device 600, and the 60-degree tilt setting has little impact on the filtration effect of the filter device 600.

[0089] Optionally, the filter device 600 has a discharge port 601 on the side wall of the first channel 100 on the leeward side. In this way, the collected dust and other foreign objects can be discharged through the discharge port 601, which helps to keep the filter device 600 clean and improve the filtration effect.

[0090] Optionally, the filter device 600 is detachably installed within the first channel 100. This facilitates the disassembly, cleaning, or replacement of the filter device 600, thereby improving filtration efficiency.

[0091] Optionally, a slot is provided on the side wall of the first channel 100, and the filter device 600 is movably inserted into the slot. In this way, the connection between the filter device 600 and the first channel 100 can be maintained stably through the slot.

[0092] Optionally, one end of the slot is connected to the discharge port 601 and is configured to allow the filter device 600 to be disassembled and installed through the discharge port 601. In this way, disassembling and installing the filter device 600 through the discharge port 601 makes it easier to disassemble and install the filter device 600.

[0093] Optionally, a switch baffle is provided on the discharge port 601. In this way, the discharge port 601 can be opened or closed by switching the baffle, and the discharge port 601 can be opened at regular intervals to allow accumulated dust and other impurities to be discharged through the discharge port 601.

[0094] Optionally, the filter device 600 includes a filter layer and a sterilization layer. The sterilization layer is disposed on the side of the filter layer near the moisture-absorbing disc 300. In this way, dust and other foreign objects can be filtered and sterilized at the same time, improving air quality. Disposing the sterilization layer on the side near the moisture-absorbing disc 300 also prevents dust from accumulating on the sterilization layer and affecting the sterilization effect.

[0095] Optionally, both the filter layer and the sterilization layer adopt structures commonly used in the art. This structure is simple and easy to obtain. For example, the filter layer can be a mesh filter, and the sterilization layer can be a silver ion or negative ion sterilization layer.

[0096] Combination Figure 13-14 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides another device for humidity regulation, further comprising a heat exchanger 700. The heat exchanger 700 includes a first heat exchange section disposed within a first channel 100 and a second heat exchange section disposed within a second channel 200, configured to exchange heat between the airflow passing through the first channel 100 and the airflow passing through the second channel 200. Thus, one of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 ventilates indoors, and the other ventilates outdoors. When the two airflows pass through the heat exchanger 700 disposed within the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, heat exchange occurs under the action of the heat exchanger 700, maintaining the temperature of the airflow entering the room closer to the original indoor air temperature, reducing the impact on the indoor ambient temperature, and maintaining the stability of the indoor ambient temperature.

[0097] Optionally, the heat exchanger 700 is a sensible heat exchanger 700. In this way, the sensible heat exchanger 700 can better facilitate heat exchange between the airflow in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, and the sensible heat exchanger 700 only exchanges heat and not moisture, so it will not affect the normal humidification and dehumidification effect.

[0098] Optionally, the heat exchanger 700 is located at one end of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 that communicates with the room. In this way, the airflow flowing into the room is heated before contacting the heat exchanger 700 for heat exchange, which can better maintain the stability of the room temperature.

[0099] Combination Figure 15-21As shown, this disclosure provides another device for humidity regulation. In some alternative embodiments, a communication port 506 is provided between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. A movable plate 800 is provided within the communication port 506. The movable plate 800 is configured to close the communication port 506 in a first position and open the communication port 506 and close the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 in a second position. In this way, a movable plate 800 is set between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. When the outdoor air temperature and humidity are high, the movable plate 800 is rotated to the second position. At this time, the indoor air enters through one of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 and enters the other channel through the connecting port 506. After passing through the moisture absorption disc 300 twice, it returns to the room. The moisture absorption disc 300 absorbs moisture for efficient dehumidification. When the moisture absorption disc 300 is saturated with water, the movable plate 800 is rotated back to the first position, the heating device is activated, and air is blown from the room to the outside to remove the moisture on the moisture absorption disc 300. Repeated operation can effectively dehumidify the indoor air. The dehumidification process is not affected by the outdoor air temperature and humidity, and the dehumidification effect is higher.

[0100] Optionally, the movable plate 800 includes a drive shaft 801. The drive shaft 801 is located on the central axis of the movable plate 800 and on the side wall of the communication port 506, and is driven by a drive motor. In this way, the movable plate 800 is rotated by the drive motor, thereby causing the movable plate 800 to switch between a first position and a second position.

[0101] Optionally, a first limiting baffle 507 is provided within the communication port 506, configured to limit the movable plate 800 to a first position. In this way, the movable plate 800 is better limited to the first position by the first limiting baffle, maintaining the stability of the movable plate 800 in the first position.

[0102] Optionally, both the inner walls of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 are provided with sealing protrusions 508, which cooperate with the movable plate 800 to seal the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. In this way, the movable plate 800 can better seal the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 when in the second position, preventing air leakage from the first channel 100 and the second channel 200.

[0103] Optionally, the closed protrusion 508 includes a second limiting baffle 509. The second limiting baffle 509 is configured to limit the movable plate 800 to a second position. In this way, the movable plate 800 is better limited to the second position by the second limiting baffle, maintaining the stability of the movable plate 800 in the second position.
