Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, in most regions of our country, it is dry and cold in winter, and the moisture content in the air is low. A low moisture content in indoor air will accelerate the loss of body moisture, accelerate skin aging, and cause respiratory diseases. It is inconvenient to open windows for ventilation in winter, and the indoor air does not circulate, which is likely to cause the growth of bacteria and is not conducive to good health. Most traditional humidifiers use a water tank to store water and humidify the air by evaporating the water in the water tank. There is a waterless humidification technology in related technologies, which uses a moisture absorption material to absorb moisture in the air flow and then releases the moisture to humidify the air flow after heating, which can solve the problem of scale and bacteria growth in the water tank.

[0004] Most of the humidification modules used in current humidifying devices absorb moisture in part of the air flow while releasing moisture in other parts of the heated air flow, which easily causes the humidification module in the heated air flow to absorb heat and transfer it to the moisture absorption module located in the air flow, reducing the moisture absorption efficiency.

With this optional embodiment, through the structure of the gear 302 meshing with the rack 301 and the motor 303 driving the gear 302 to rotate, the moisture absorption module 100 can reciprocate, facilitating the switching of the position of the moisture absorption module 100 and facilitating the completion of the moisture absorption process and the humidification process.

[0166] Optionally, the moisture absorption module 100 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the partition layer 208 between the humidification channel 202 and the moisture absorption channel 201 through a rotating shaft 207, and the driving device 300 drives the moisture absorption module 100 to rotate along the rotating shaft 207. With this alternative embodiment, it is convenient for the two ends of the moisture absorption module 100 to switch positions by rotating along the rotating shaft 207.

[0167] Optionally, the driving device 300 includes: a driving motor 303 having a motor shaft, the motor shaft being connected to the rotating shaft 207 and being configured to drive the moisture absorption module 100 to rotate. With this alternative embodiment, driven by the motor 303, the moisture absorption module 100 can rotate along the rotating shaft 207, which is convenient for the two ends of the moisture absorption module 100 to switch positions. While one end of the moisture absorption module 100 enters the humidification channel 202, the other end enters the moisture absorption channel 201, so that moisture absorption and moisture release can be completed simultaneously, facilitating continuous humidification.

[0168] Optionally, a centrifugal fan or a DC fan is provided at the air outlets of the humidification channel 202 and the moisture absorption channel 201. With this alternative embodiment, by using a centrifugal fan or a DC fan at the outlet, an air flow can be formed in the humidification channel 202 and the moisture absorption channel 201 by means of negative pressure, so that the air flow is more uniform and stable when passing through the moisture absorption module 100, improving the stability of the moisture absorption process and the humidification process. Moreover, a centrifugal fan or a DC fan can be selected according to requirements. The DC fan has a simple structure and stable performance, while the centrifugal fan generates a larger negative pressure and can change the wind direction.
