Description

Technical Field

[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. Using two separate devices to humidify and dehumidify the environment takes up a lot of space and is costly. Related technologies combine humidifiers and dehumidifiers, which requires two channels. One channel humidifies while the other dehumidifies.

[0003] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0004] The moisture-absorbing disc needs to be heated in the humidification channel. However, the high temperature of the heated moisture-absorbing disc after it moves to another channel will reduce its water absorption capacity and thus reduce the water adsorption efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. 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 an apparatus for humidity regulation to address the problem of reduced water absorption capacity of a moisture-absorbing turntable, which in turn reduces moisture adsorption efficiency.

[0007] In some embodiments, the humidity regulating device includes: a first channel, a second channel, a moisture-absorbing turntable, and a heating device. The second channel is arranged side by side with the first channel; the moisture-absorbing turntable includes a first portion located in the first channel and a second portion located in the second channel; the heating device covers a portion of the first channel and / or a portion of the second channel.

[0008] The humidity control device provided in this disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0009] The heating device can cover a portion of the moisture-absorbing disc located in the same channel, heating only that portion. This allows other areas within the channel to dissipate heat properly, facilitating a rapid temperature drop when the moisture-absorbing disc moves into another channel. This prevents the moisture-absorbing disc from being affected, improves moisture adsorption efficiency, and ultimately enhances humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0039] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0040] Combination Figure 1-7As shown, this disclosure provides a device for humidity regulation, including: a first channel 100, a second channel 200, a moisture-absorbing turntable 300, and a heating device 400. 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 heating device 400 covers a portion of the first channel 100 and / or a portion of the second channel 200.

[0041] Using the humidity control device provided in this embodiment, the heating device 400 can cover a portion of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 located in the same channel, heating only that portion, so that other portions of the channel can dissipate heat appropriately. This allows the temperature of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 to drop rapidly after it enters another channel, preventing any impact on its moisture absorption capacity, improving moisture adsorption efficiency, and thus improving humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0042] 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.

[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. 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.

[0044] 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.

[0045] 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.

[0046] Optionally, the first channel 100 and / or the second channel 200 include a heating zone 503 and a transition zone 504, with the heating device 400 covering the heating zone 503. In this way, after the moisture-absorbing disc 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 appropriate cooling, it enters another channel for moisture absorption, preventing a decrease in the moisture absorption efficiency of the moisture-absorbing disc 300 at high temperatures, which would affect the overall humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0047] Optionally, the heating zone 503 refers to the area within a preset range of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. 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.

[0048] Optionally, the heating device 400 includes a first heating device 401 and a second heating device 402. The first heating device 401 covers the heating area 503 within the first channel 100; the second heating device 402 covers the heating area 503 within the second channel 200. Thus, by switching the operating states of the first heating device 401 and the second heating device 402, humidification or dehumidification can be performed. When the heating device 400 in the channel supplying airflow to the room is activated, the room is humidified; when the heating device 400 in the channel discharging airflow to the outside is activated, the room is dehumidified. This allows the humidity control device of this application to have both humidification and dehumidification functions, saving installation space and reducing costs by performing humidification and dehumidification with a single device.

[0049] Optionally, the first channel 100 is connected to the indoor environment at one end and to the outdoor environment at the other end, and the second channel 200 is arranged side by side with the first channel 100. Thus,

[0050] 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.

[0051] 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.

[0052] 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, resulting in better heating of the turntable and improved efficiency of moisture regeneration. Optionally, the first fan 101 and the second fan 201 are located on the outdoor-facing side of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This reduces the noise generated by the first fan 101 and the second fan 201, as the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 isolates the noise from being transmitted indoors, thereby reducing indoor noise and improving the user experience.

[0053] Optionally, the heating zone 503 and the transition zone are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. In this way, the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 can first enter the heating zone 503 and then enter the transition zone 504. After the moisture is released by heating in the heating zone 503, it enters the transition zone 504 and continues to release moisture in the airflow using residual heat. After appropriate cooling, 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.

[0054] 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.

[0055] 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 504, so that it can better absorb moisture and improve the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0056] Optionally, the heating device 400 is movably disposed on one side of the turntable, positioned in the first channel 100 in the first position and in the second channel 200 in the second position. Thus, a movable heating device 400 is disposed within both the first channel 100 and the second channel 200. When the heating device 400 enters and operates in the first channel 100, the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 in the first channel 100 is heated and releases moisture, causing the first channel 100 to blow out a humidified airflow for humidification. When the heating device 400 enters and operates in the second channel 200, the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 in the second channel 200 is heated and releases moisture, while the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 in the first channel 100 absorbs moisture from the passing airflow, causing the first channel 100 to blow out a dry airflow for dehumidification. The movable arrangement of the heating device 400 ensures that only one of the first channel 100 or the second channel 200 will have a heating device 400, reducing wind resistance in the other channel, increasing the airflow in that channel, and effectively improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0057] Optionally, a switching groove 510 is provided between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, through which the heating device 400 enters the first channel 100 or the second channel 200. In this way, the switching groove 510 facilitates the switching of the heating device 400 between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200.

[0058] Optionally, the heating device 400 includes a fixing part 403 and a heating part 404. The fixing part 403 is disposed within the switching groove 510; the heating part 404 is disposed on one side of the fixing part 403. In this way, the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 can be heated by the heating part 404, and the fixing part 403 facilitates the movement of the entire heating device 400, making it easy for the heating device 400 to switch positions within the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the heating device 400.

[0059] Optionally, the heating device 400 can be a commonly used heating device such as electromagnetic heating, microwave heating, or electric heating wire heating. In this way, using a commonly used heating device 400 to heat the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 is simple in structure, easy to obtain, and increases heating efficiency.

[0060] Optionally, the heating device 400 is arranged parallel to the moisture absorption disc 300. This allows the heating device 400 to heat the moisture absorption disc 300 more evenly, improving the efficiency of moisture regeneration of the moisture absorption disc 300, and thus improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0061] Optionally, the heating device 400 is positioned within a preset range of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This allows the heating device 400 to be positioned close to the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, enabling better heating of the turntable and improving the efficiency of moisture regeneration on the turntable 300.

[0062] Optionally, the preset range is 2 cm to 10 cm from the moisture-absorbing turntable 300. This way, by placing the heating device 400 within this range, it prevents the heating device 400 from being too close to the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, thus avoiding interference with its rotation or damage, while also ensuring better heating of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300 and improving its moisture regeneration efficiency.

[0063] Optionally, the preset range is 3 cm. In this way, by placing the heating devices 400 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.

[0064] Optionally, the fixing part 403 includes a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft is connected to the fixing part 403, disposed in the switching groove 510, and connected to a rotary motor. In this way, the rotary motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate, thereby driving the fixing part 403 to rotate, so that the heating device 400 can switch positions between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 by rotation.

[0065] Optionally, a sealing gasket is provided inside the switching slot 510. In this way, the sealing gasket seals the gap between the switching slot 510 and the fixing part 403, preventing the airflow in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200 from mixing, which would affect the normal ventilation of the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, and thus reduce the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0066] Optionally, the sealing gasket is an annular structure and is disposed on the inner side wall of the switching groove 510. This improves the sealing performance of the gap between the switching groove 510 and the fixing part 403.

[0067] Optionally, both ends of the first channel 100 are connected to the outside, and both ends of the second channel 200 are connected to the inside. This avoids heat exchange between indoor and outdoor air, reduces the impact on indoor air temperature, and allows humidification and dehumidification to function normally even when the airflow direction is the same in the first channel 100 and the second channel 200.

[0068] 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 the same air outlet direction. In this way, the heating device 400 is located on the windward or windward side of the moisture absorption disc 300 in both the first and second positions, maintaining the same heating efficiency of the heating device 400 on the moisture absorption disc 300 in both positions and improving the stability of humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0069] Optionally, the second channel 200 includes a ventilation section 202, an air inlet section 203, and an air outlet section 204. The ventilation section 202 is arranged side by side with the first channel 100; the air inlet section 203 is perpendicular to and connected to one end of the ventilation section 202; and the air outlet section 204 is perpendicular to and connected to the other end of the ventilation section 202. In this way, the air inlet section 203 is arranged side by side with the first channel 100, which facilitates the installation of the moisture-absorbing turntable 300, while the air inlet section 203 and the air outlet section 204 facilitate the connection of both ends of the ventilation section 202 to the room.

[0070] Optionally, both the ventilation unit 202 and the first channel 100 are located outdoors. This arrangement reduces noise levels at the indoor end.

[0071] Optionally, both the air inlet 203 and the air outlet 204 are connected to the room. This allows indoor air to enter the ventilation section 202 through the air inlet 203 and be discharged into the room through the air outlet 204, facilitating humidification and dehumidification in the room.

[0072] Optionally, the ventilation section 202 and the first channel 100 are arranged longitudinally. This reduces the lateral space occupation, prevents the first channel 100 from extending too far outward, and improves the stability of the installation.

[0073] Combination Figure 8 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.

[0074] 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.

[0075] 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.

[0076] 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.

[0077] 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.

[0078] 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.

[0079] 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.

[0080] Combination Figure 9 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a device for humidity regulation, further comprising a filter device 600. The filter device 600 is disposed at the end of the first channel 100 that communicates with the outside. Thus, airflow flowing into the room passes through the filter device 600 and is filtered and purified by it. The location of the filter device 600 at the end communicating with the outside prevents dust, bacteria, and other impurities from accumulating on the moisture-absorbing disc 300, affecting its water absorption capacity and thus reducing humidification efficiency. Furthermore, the filtration by the filter device 600 removes dust, bacteria, and other impurities from the airflow, preventing airflow carrying dust, bacteria, and other impurities from entering the room and affecting indoor air quality.

[0081] Optionally, the filter device 600 is disposed between the moisture-absorbing rotary disc 300 and the first fan 101, and the first fan 101 is configured to blow air towards one side of the moisture-absorbing rotary disc 300. In this way, the first fan 101 blows the airflow towards the filter device 600, and the filter device 600 filters the airflow before it passes through the moisture-absorbing rotary disc 300. This allows for better filtration of the airflow flowing through the moisture-absorbing rotary disc 300, and better prevents dust, bacteria, and other impurities from accumulating on the moisture-absorbing rotary disc 300, affecting its water absorption capacity, and thus reducing humidification efficiency.

[0082] 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.

[0083] 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.

[0084] 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.

[0085] 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.

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.

[0088] 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.

[0089] 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.

[0090] 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.

[0091] 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.

[0092] Combination Figure 10-11 As shown, this disclosure provides an apparatus 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 airflow passing through the first channel 100 and 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.

[0093] 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.

[0094] 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.

[0095] Combination Figure 12-18As shown, this disclosure provides an apparatus for humidity regulation. In some embodiments, a communication port 506 is provided between the first channel 100 and the second channel 200, and a movable plate 800 is provided in 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 to the first position, the heating device 400 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.

[0096] 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.

[0097] 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.

[0098] 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.

[0099] 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.
