Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of humidity control technology, and more particularly to a device for humidity control. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, commercial areas such as shopping malls or warehouses often have different requirements for indoor air humidity. However, indoor air humidity fluctuates greatly with seasonal changes, so it is necessary to regulate the humidity of the indoor space, such as by using humidifiers and dehumidifiers. Using two separate devices, such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers, to humidify or dehumidify the environment takes up a lot of space and is costly.

[0003] Some related technologies involve placing a moisture-absorbing disc indoors and the rest outdoors. The rotation of the moisture-absorbing disc continuously switches the part in contact with indoor and outdoor air, utilizing the characteristics of the moisture-absorbing disc to achieve indoor dehumidification or humidification. However, in the process of dehumidifying or humidifying the indoor air, the indoor air is in an internal circulation state, resulting in poor air quality.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the quality of indoor air during dehumidification or humidification has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below.

[0006] This disclosure provides a device for humidity control to improve indoor air quality during dehumidification or humidification processes and enhance user experience.

[0007] In some embodiments, the device for humidity control includes a housing and a moisture-absorbing turntable. The housing defines a first channel and a second channel; the moisture-absorbing turntable is rotatably disposed within the housing, with a portion located within the first channel and the remainder within the second channel; wherein an air supply inlet is provided between the first channel and the second channel.

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

[0009] The moisture-absorbing disc is rotatably installed inside the housing, with part of the disc located in the first channel and the remainder in the second channel. Outdoor air can flow in the first channel, and indoor air can flow in the second channel. The continuously rotating moisture-absorbing disc can humidify or dehumidify the indoor environment.

[0032] Unless otherwise stated, the term "multiple" means two or more.

[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0034] Combination Figure 1-7As shown, in some embodiments, a humidity control device includes a housing 100 and a moisture-absorbing turntable 200. The housing 100 internally defines a first channel 110 and a second channel 120; the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 is rotatably disposed within the housing 100, with a portion located within the first channel 110 and the remainder within the second channel 120; wherein an air supply inlet 130 is provided between the first channel 110 and the second channel 120.

[0035] Using the humidity control device provided in this embodiment, the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 is rotatably installed inside the housing 100, with part of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 located in the first channel 110 and the rest located in the second channel 120. Outdoor air can flow in the first channel 110 and indoor air can flow in the second channel 120. The continuously rotating moisture-absorbing turntable 200 can humidify or dehumidify the indoor environment. During the humidification or dehumidification process, outdoor air can enter the room through the air inlet 130 to replenish the room with fresh outdoor air, improve the indoor air quality, and thus improve the user experience.

[0036] Optionally, the first channel 110 connects to the outdoor environment, and the second channel 120 connects to the indoor environment. This allows outdoor air to enter the first channel 110 and flow through it before being exhausted outdoors, while indoor air enters the second channel 120 and flows through it before being exhausted indoors. This internal air circulation humidifies or dehumidifies the indoor environment. Furthermore, during humidification or dehumidification, outdoor air can be supplied to the indoor environment through the air intake vent 130 located between the first and second channels 110, creating a micro-fresh air outdoor circulation and improving indoor air quality.

[0037] In some instances, when humidifying an indoor space, the ambient temperature airflow from outdoors absorbs moisture from the moisture-absorbing disc 200 as it flows through the portion of the disc located in the first channel 110. Meanwhile, the heated indoor airflow, as it flows through the remaining portion of the disc located in the second channel 120, regenerates and releases the moisture absorbed by the disc into the airflow, which is then discharged into the room, thus humidifying the space. Similarly, when dehumidifying an indoor space, the ambient temperature airflow from outdoors absorbs moisture from the moisture-absorbing disc 200 as it flows through the portion of the disc located in the second channel 120, and this moisture is then discharged into the room. Conversely, the heated outdoor airflow, as it flows through the remaining portion of the disc located in the first channel 110, regenerates and releases the moisture absorbed by the disc into the airflow, which is then discharged outdoors, thus dehumidifying the room.

[0038] Optionally, the humidity control device further includes a housing 300 and a first partition plate 400. The housing 300 is disposed inside the housing 100, and the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 is rotatably disposed inside the housing 300; the first partition plate 400 is disposed outside the housing 300, and the housing 300 and the first partition plate 400 define a first channel 110 and a second channel 120 within the housing 100. In this way, the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 are defined within the housing 100 by the cover 300 and the first partition plate 400 disposed on the outside of the cover 300, so that the flow area of ​​the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 is uniform, and the airflow can flow smoothly in the first channel 110 and the second channel 120. Moreover, the airflow flowing in the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 does not interfere with each other, which improves the stability of humidification or dehumidification. Furthermore, the moisture absorption turntable 200 is rotatably disposed within the cover 300, which makes the rotation of the moisture absorption turntable 200 more stable, further improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0039] Optionally, the housing 300 has a cylindrical structure. This allows the moisture-absorbing disc 200 to be better installed inside the housing 300, further improving the stability of the moisture-absorbing disc 200 during continuous rotation, thereby improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0040] Optionally, the air supply vent 130 is disposed on the first partition plate 400. Thus, since the first channel 110 and the second channel 120 are defined within the housing 100 by the cover 300 and the first partition plate 400 disposed outside the cover 300, disposing of the air supply vent 130 on the first partition plate 400 allows outdoor air flowing in the first channel 110 to enter the second channel 120 through the air supply vent 130 on the first partition plate 400, and then be discharged into the room. When the indoor air is in a state of internal circulation dehumidification or humidification, the air supply vent 130 replenishes the room with fresh outdoor air, forming a micro-fresh air external circulation, thereby improving the indoor air quality.

[0041] Optionally, the air supply vent 130 is equipped with a switch structure 140. In this way, the opening and closing of the air supply vent 130 and the air supply volume can be adjusted through the switch structure 140. When the outdoor air quality is poor, the air supply vent 130 can be closed in time to prevent poor outdoor air from entering the room and polluting the indoor environment.

[0042] Optionally, the switch structure 140 includes a mounting frame 141 and a gate 142. The mounting frame 141 is located at the edge of the air supply port 130, and its inner sidewall is provided with a groove corresponding to the gate 142; the gate 142 is slidably engaged in the groove. In this way, by setting the mounting frame 141 at the edge of the air supply port 130 and slidably installing the gate 142 in the mounting frame 141, the opening and closing of the air supply port 130 and the air supply volume can be adjusted by controlling the sliding of the gate 142, so as to better adjust the air supply port 130 according to the outdoor environmental quality and prevent poor outdoor air from entering the room and polluting the indoor environment.

[0043] Optionally, a first flow channel 310 and a second flow channel 320 are defined within the housing 300. A portion of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 is located within the first flow channel 310, and the remainder is located within the second flow channel 320. This allows the airflow in the first channel 110 to enter the first flow channel 310 within the housing 300 and then exit, and the airflow in the second channel 120 to enter the second flow channel 320 within the housing 300 and then exit. The airflow entering the first and second flow channels 310 and 320 can fully contact the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 within the housing 300, thus better absorbing or humidifying the airflow and improving indoor humidification or dehumidification.

[0044] Optionally, the first flow channel 310 is located within the first channel 110, the second flow channel 320 is located within the second channel 120, and one end of the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 has a first air inlet end 330, a first air outlet end 340, a second air inlet end 350, and a second air outlet end 360. In this way, the airflow flowing in the first channel 110 can pass through the first flow channel 310, and the airflow flowing in the second channel 120 can pass through the second flow channel 320. Since the first air inlet 330, the first air outlet 340, the second air inlet 350, and the second air outlet 360 are all located at one end of the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320, the airflow passing through the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 can pass through the moisture absorption disc 200 twice, increasing the contact time between the airflow and the moisture absorption disc 200. This allows the moisture in the airflow to be absorbed more efficiently, and the moisture absorbed in the moisture absorption disc 200 to be regenerated more efficiently and carried away by the airflow, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0045] Optionally, the first air inlet 330 and the first air outlet 340 are both located within the first channel 110, and the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360 are both located within the second channel 120. The first flow channel 310 is connected to the first channel 110 via the first air inlet 330 and the first air outlet 340, and the second flow channel 320 is connected to the second channel 120 via the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360. This allows the airflow circulating within the first channel 110 to enter the first flow channel 310 through the first air inlet 330 and then exit back into the first channel 110 via the first air outlet 340. Similarly, the airflow circulating within the second channel 120 can enter the second flow channel 320 through the second air inlet 350 and then exit back into the second channel 120 via the second air outlet 360, thus improving airflow circulation within both the first and second channels 110 and 120.

[0046] Optionally, a partition mechanism 500 is provided inside the housing 300, and the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 are defined by the partition mechanism 500 and the inner wall of the housing 300. In this way, the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 are defined by the partition mechanism 500 and the inner wall of the housing 300, so that the airflows flowing in the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 do not interfere with each other, thereby improving the stability of the device during operation and facilitating the installation of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200.

[0047] Optionally, the partition mechanism 500 includes: a first partition 510 and a second partition 520. The first partition 510 is disposed above the interior of the cover 300; the second partition 520 is connected to the first partition 510 and disposed below the cover 300; wherein, the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 is disposed between the first partition 510 and the second partition 520, and blocks the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 radially upward therefrom. In this way, the first partition 510 and the second partition 520 define the installation space of the moisture-absorbing disc 200, allowing the moisture-absorbing disc 200 to be installed more stably inside the housing 300. Moreover, the first partition 510 and the second partition 520 define the vertical first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 inside the housing 300, so that the moisture-absorbing disc 200, with part of it located in the first flow channel 310 and the rest in the second flow channel 320, can rotate more continuously. Furthermore, the moisture-absorbing disc 200 blocks the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 radially, allowing the airflow in the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 to pass through the moisture-absorbing disc 200 more effectively. This increases the contact area between the airflow and the moisture-absorbing disc 200, enabling more efficient adsorption of moisture in the airflow and more efficient regeneration of the moisture absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200, which is then carried away by the airflow, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0048] Optionally, the second partition 520 includes a first plate 521 and a second plate 522. The first plate 521 is parallel to the first partition 510 and its center is on the same vertical line; the second plate 522 is arranged intersecting the first plate 521; wherein the first air inlet 330, the first air outlet 340, the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360 are defined by the first plate 521 and the second plate 522 at the lower end of the moisture absorption turntable 200. In this way, the first plate 521 and the first partition 510 in the second partition 520 are on the same vertical plane, which can better define the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 between them and the inner wall of the cover 300. Furthermore, the first plate 521 and the second plate 522, which are arranged in a cross pattern, define the first air inlet 330, the first air outlet 340, the second air inlet 350, and the second air outlet 360 on the lower end surface of the moisture absorption turntable 200. This ensures that the airflow from the inlet and outlet on the lower end surface of the moisture absorption turntable 200 does not interfere with each other, thereby improving the airflow at one end surface of the moisture absorption turntable 200. This improves the stability of the airflow, thereby enhancing the stability of humidification or dehumidification. Furthermore, the incoming airflow passes through the lower surface of the moisture-absorbing disc 200 into the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320, and then flows out again through the lower surface of the moisture-absorbing disc 200. This allows the airflow passing through both the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 to pass through the moisture-absorbing disc 200 twice, increasing the contact time between the airflow and the moisture-absorbing disc 200. This allows for more efficient adsorption of moisture in the airflow, and more efficient regeneration of the moisture absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200, which is then carried away by the airflow, thus improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0049] Optionally, the first partition 510 and the second partition 520 are connected by a connecting frame 530. The connecting frame 530 includes a first frame 531 and a second frame 532. Both the first frame 531 and the second frame 532 are vertically arranged plate-like structures. The upper and lower ends of the first frame 531 are respectively connected to one end of the first plate 521 and one end of the first partition 510, and the upper and lower ends of the second frame 532 are respectively connected to the other end of the first plate 521 and the other end of the first partition 510. In this way, since the first plate 521 and the first partition 510 in the second partition 520 are on the same vertical plane and both ends are connected by the vertically arranged connecting frame 530, the stability of the partition mechanism 500 is improved, thereby better defining the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 within the cover 300.

[0050] Optionally, the center of the first plate 521 and the center of the second plate 522 are intersected and connected, and the first plate 521 and the second plate 522 are perpendicular. In this way, the first air inlet end 330, the first air outlet end 340, the second air inlet end 350 and the second air outlet end 360 defined by the first plate 521 and the second plate 522 on one end face of the moisture absorption turntable 200 are of uniform size and the air intake volume is also relatively uniform, so that the indoor and outdoor airflow can better enter the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 and then flow out.

[0051] Combination Figure 8-11 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the humidity control device further includes a second partition plate 600. The second partition plate 600 is disposed on the outside of the housing 300, and the plane of the second partition plate 600 intersects with the plane of the first partition plate 400. The housing 300, the first partition plate 400, and the second partition plate 600 define a first airflow cavity 101, a second airflow cavity 102, a third airflow cavity 103, and a fourth airflow cavity 104 within the housing 100. In this way, by changing the connection between the first air inlet 330, the first air outlet 340, the second air inlet 350, the second air outlet 360 and the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320, the connection between the first airflow chamber 101, the second airflow chamber 102, the third airflow chamber 103 and the fourth airflow chamber 104 can be changed. This allows the indoor air circulation state to be changed during humidification or dehumidification, so that the indoor air is in an internal or external circulation state, and the indoor airflow exchanges with the outdoor airflow, or does not exchange. Thus, when there is a need for indoor ventilation, the indoor airflow exchanges with the outdoor airflow, and when the outdoor air quality is poor and there is no need for ventilation, the indoor airflow exchanges with the outdoor airflow. This prevents polluted outdoor air from entering the room, selectively utilizes outdoor airflow, reduces dependence on the outdoor environment, improves the stability of humidity regulation, and maintains indoor air quality.

[0052] Understandably, the first airflow chamber 101 and the second airflow chamber 102 are connected to form the first channel 110, and the third airflow chamber 103 and the fourth airflow chamber 104 are connected to form the second channel 120.

[0053] Optionally, the cover 300 is located in the middle position inside the housing 100. The first partition plate 400 includes a first part 410 and a second part 420, and the first part 410 and the second part 420 are in the same plane. The second partition plate 600 includes a third part 610 and a fourth part 620, and the third part 610 and the fourth part 620 are in the same plane. The first part 410, the second part 420, the third part 610, and the fourth part 620 are respectively located at the 12 o'clock position, the 3 o'clock position, the 6 o'clock position, and the 9 o'clock position on the outer periphery of the cover 300. In this way, the cover 300, the first partition plate 400, and the second partition plate 600 can divide the housing 100 into a uniform first airflow cavity 101, a second airflow cavity 102, a third airflow cavity 103, and a fourth airflow cavity 104, allowing airflow to flow smoothly.

[0054] Optionally, the first part 410 is located between the first airflow chamber 101 and the third airflow chamber 103, and the second part 420 is located between the second airflow chamber 102 and the fourth airflow chamber 104. Two air inlets 130 are provided, one on the first part 410 of the first partition plate 400 and the other on the second part 420 of the first partition plate 400. This allows the airflow circulating in the first channel 110 to better enter the second channel 120, replenishing the room with fresh outdoor air and further improving the quality of the indoor environment.

[0055] Optionally, the partition mechanism 500 is rotatably disposed within the housing 300. Since the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 are defined by the partition mechanism 500 and the inner wall of the housing 300, and a first air inlet 330, a first air outlet 340, a second air inlet 350, and a second air outlet 360 are provided on one end face of the desiccant turntable 200, the rotation of the partition mechanism 500 can change the communication relationship between the first flow channel 310, the second flow channel 320, the first air inlet 330, the first air outlet 340, the second air inlet 350, and the second air outlet 360, thereby switching the indoor air circulation state. This allows the indoor air to be in a state of internal circulation dehumidification or humidification, or external circulation dehumidification or humidification, thus better dehumidifying or humidifying the indoor environment while also changing the communication state between the indoor and outdoor environments, better meeting the user's needs.

[0056] Understandably, the first air inlet 330 is located in the first airflow chamber 101, the first air outlet 340 is located in the second airflow chamber 102, the second air inlet 350 is located in the fourth airflow chamber 104, and the second air outlet 360 is located in the third airflow chamber 103.

[0057] In some instances, when the partition mechanism 500 is in the first position, the first flow channel 310 connects the first airflow chamber 101 and the second airflow chamber 102 through the first air inlet 330 and the first air outlet 340. Since the first airflow chamber 101 and the second airflow chamber 102 are connected, a first channel 110 is formed. At this time, the first flow channel 310 is located within the first channel 110 and connects to the outside. The second flow channel 320 connects the fourth airflow chamber 104 and the third airflow chamber 103 through the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360. Since the third airflow chamber 103 and the fourth airflow chamber 104 are connected, a fourth airflow chamber 104 is formed. With the second channel 120 in place, the second flow channel 320 is located within the second channel 120 and connects to the interior, at which point the indoor air is in an internal circulation state. When the partition mechanism 500 is in the second position, the first flow channel 310 connects the first air inlet 330 and the second air outlet 360 to the first airflow chamber 101 and the third airflow chamber 103, forming a channel connecting the outside to the inside. The second flow channel 320 connects the second air inlet 350 and the first air outlet 340 to the fourth airflow chamber 104 and the second airflow chamber 102, forming a channel connecting the inside to the outside, at which point the indoor air is in an external circulation state connected to the outside.

[0058] Understandably, when the partition mechanism 500 switches from the first position to the second position, the partition mechanism 500 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, and when the second position switches to the first position, the partition mechanism 500 rotates 90 degrees clockwise.

[0059] Optionally, a fan is provided in both the second airflow chamber 102 and the third airflow chamber 103. In this way, the fan can better discharge the airflow in the second airflow chamber 102 and the third airflow chamber 103, generate negative pressure in the second airflow chamber 102 and the third airflow chamber 103, and provide sufficient power for the airflow.

[0060] Optionally, the dehumidifying turntable 200 includes a frame portion 210 and a turntable portion 220. The frame portion 210 is disc-shaped and defines a circular mounting frame 141 on its inner side. The outer periphery of the frame portion 210 is connected to the inner wall of the housing 300. The turntable portion 220 is rotatably disposed within the circular mounting frame 141. In this way, by connecting the outer periphery of the frame portion 210 to the inner wall of the housing 300, the housing 300 is sealed, preventing airflow from passing through the edge of the dehumidifying turntable 200. This guides the airflow to pass better through the turntable portion 220, allowing the airflow flowing through the turntable portion 220 to be better humidified or dehumidified, thereby improving the humidification or dehumidification efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, the turntable portion 220 may be radially blocked from the circular mounting frame 141. This allows the airflow passing through the circular mounting frame 141 to pass through the turntable portion 220, further enabling the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 to better absorb or release moisture, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0062] Optionally, the turntable 220 includes a frame and a moisture-absorbing material. The frame is disc-shaped; the moisture-absorbing material is filled inside the frame. By providing the frame, the structural stability of the turntable 220 can be improved, preventing damage to the turntable 220. The moisture-absorbing material inside the frame allows moisture in the airflow to be absorbed by the material as it passes through the frame, or the absorbed moisture in the material can be released into the airflow, thus improving indoor humidification or dehumidification.

[0063] Optionally, the frame is made of glass fiber or ceramic fiber. This makes the frame structure stable and lightweight, facilitating the rotation of the turntable 220 and improving its stability.

[0064] Optionally, the moisture-absorbing material includes one or more of silica gel, MOF, and molecular sieves. Thus, one or more of the above materials can efficiently absorb moisture from the airflow at room temperature and efficiently release moisture when heated.

[0065] Optionally, the lower end of the second partition 520 is provided with a first driving unit 700, which can drive the second partition 520 to rotate, and the first driving unit 700 includes: a connecting disk 710 and a first motor 720. The connecting disk 710 is disposed at the lower end of the second partition 520 and connected to the lower end surface of the second partition 520, and a first annular rack 711 is provided on its outer periphery; the output end of the first motor 720 is engaged with the first annular rack 711. In this way, when the partition mechanism 500 needs to switch positions, the first motor 720 can drive the connecting plate 710 to rotate, which in turn drives the second partition 520 to rotate. Since the second partition 520 is connected to the first partition 510 through the connecting frame 530, the first partition 510 can be driven to rotate synchronously through the second partition 520, making the partition mechanism 500 more stable when rotating. This allows for better switching of the connection relationship between the first flow channel 310, the second flow channel 320 and the first air inlet 330, the first air outlet 340, the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360, thereby switching the indoor air circulation state to meet the user's needs.

[0066] Optionally, a second drive unit 800 is provided on the lower side of the connecting disk 710, which can drive the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 to rotate. The second drive unit 800 includes: a transmission disk 810, an output shaft 820, and a second motor 830. The transmission disk 810 is rotatably disposed on the lower side of the drive disk and is concentric with the drive disk. A second annular rack 811 is provided on the outer periphery of the transmission disk 810. The output shaft 820 passes through the center of the drive disk and the second partition 520, and one end of it is fixedly connected to the circular part of the transmission disk 810, and the other end is fixedly connected to the center of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200. The output end of the second motor 830 is engaged with the second annular rack 811. In this way, the second motor 830 can drive the transmission disc 810 to rotate, which in turn drives the output shaft 820 to rotate. The output shaft 820 drives the moisture-absorbing disc 200 set inside the cover 300 to rotate continuously, so that the part of the moisture-absorbing disc 200 located in the first flow channel 310 and the rest located in the second flow channel 320 are constantly switched, thereby continuously absorbing and releasing moisture during rotation, thus better humidifying or dehumidifying the room. Since the transmission disc 810 is rotatably set on the lower side of the drive disc and is concentric with the drive disc, and the output shaft 820 passes through the center of the second partition 520 and connects to the moisture-absorbing disc 200, the drive of the moisture-absorbing disc 200 and the drive of the second partition 520 do not interfere with each other, improving the stability of the moisture-absorbing disc 200 during rotation.

[0067] Optionally, the connection between the output shaft 820 and the center of the second partition 520 is made by a sealed bearing. This allows the output shaft 820 to rotate freely relative to the second partition 520, reducing the friction between the center of the second partition 520 and the output shaft 820, thereby better driving the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 to rotate via the output shaft 820, and further improving the stability of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 during rotation.

[0068] Optionally, the connecting bracket 530 is connected to the housing 300, and the housing 300 has a mounting base 370 at its upper end, on which the housing 300 is rotatably mounted. This allows the housing 300 to connect the connecting bracket 530 to the partition mechanism 500, and to rotate with the partition mechanism 500. When it is necessary to switch the connection between the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 and the indoor / outdoor environment, the simultaneous rotation of the housing 300 and the partition mechanism 500 can further enhance the stability of the partition mechanism 500 during rotation.

[0069] Optionally, the mounting base 370 at the upper end of the cover 300 is fixedly disposed on the upper inner wall of the housing 100. In this way, the mounting base 370 is supported by the upper inner wall of the housing 100, thereby improving the stability of the cover 300 during rotation.

[0070] Combination Figure 12As shown, in some optional embodiments, the housing 100 further includes a first air inlet 150 and a first air outlet 160 communicating with the outside, and a second air inlet 170 and a second air outlet 180 communicating with the inside. The first air inlet 150 is connected to one end of the first channel 110, and the first air outlet 160 is connected to the other end of the first channel 110; the second air inlet 170 is connected to one end of the second channel 120, and the second air outlet 180 is connected to the other end of the second channel 120. This allows outdoor airflow to enter the first channel 110 through the first air inlet 150 and then exit to the outside through the first air outlet 160. Indoor airflow enters the second channel 120 through the second air inlet 170 and then exits to the inside through the second air outlet 180, keeping the indoor air in a state of internal circulation humidification or dehumidification. This stabilizes the airflow during humidification or dehumidification, thereby improving the stability of the humidification or dehumidification process.

[0071] Optionally, the first air inlet 150 is connected to the first airflow chamber 101, the first air outlet 160 is connected to the second airflow chamber 102, the second air inlet 170 is connected to the fourth airflow chamber 104, and the second air outlet 180 is connected to the third airflow chamber 103. Thus, since the first airflow chamber 101 and the second airflow chamber 102 are connected to form the first channel 110, and the third airflow chamber 103 and the fourth airflow chamber 104 are connected to form the second channel 120, the connection relationship of the flow channels within the housing 100 can be switched by changing the position of the partition mechanism 500, thereby switching the connection relationship between the indoor and outdoor environments. This allows for continuous humidification or dehumidification of the indoor environment while simultaneously switching the airflow channels according to the quality of the outdoor environment or user needs, improving environmental adaptability.

[0072] In some instances, with the partition mechanism 500 in the first position, outdoor airflow enters the first airflow chamber 101 through the first air inlet 150, then passes through the first air inlet 330 on the lower end face of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 and enters the first flow channel 310. It then exits through the first air outlet 340 and flows into the second airflow chamber 102, finally exiting through the first air outlet 160 to the outside, completing one cycle of outdoor airflow. That is, outdoor airflow circulates within the first channel 110. Indoor airflow enters the fourth airflow chamber 104 through the second air inlet 170, then enters the second flow channel 320 through the second air inlet 350 on the lower end face of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200. It then exits through the second air outlet 360 and flows into the third airflow chamber 103, finally exiting through the second air outlet 180 to the room, completing one cycle of indoor airflow. That is, indoor airflow circulates within the second channel 110. When the partition mechanism 500 is in the second position, the outdoor airflow enters the first airflow chamber 101 through the first air inlet 150, then passes through the first air inlet 330 on the lower end of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200 and enters the first flow channel 310, then is blown out through the second air outlet 360 into the third airflow chamber 103, and finally is blown out into the room through the second air outlet 180, completing one outdoor-to-indoor cycle. The indoor airflow enters the fourth airflow chamber 104 through the second air inlet 170, then enters the second flow channel 320 through the second air inlet 350 on the lower end of the moisture-absorbing turntable 200, then flows out through the first air outlet 340 into the second airflow chamber 102, and finally is discharged to the outside through the first air outlet 160, completing one indoor-to-outdoor cycle, at which point the indoor and outdoor are connected.

[0073] Combination Figure 13-14 As shown, in some optional embodiments, the humidification device further includes a heating unit 900. The heating unit 900 is disposed within the first channel 110 and / or the second channel 120, and includes a frame 910 and a heating element 920. The frame 910 has a through hole 911, and the heating element 920 is disposed within the through hole 911. This allows the airflow flowing through the first channel 110 and / or the second channel 120 to be heated. When the heated airflow passes through the moisture-absorbing disc 200, it enables better regeneration of the moisture absorbed within the moisture-absorbing disc 200, and better removal of the regenerated moisture, thus achieving humidification or dehumidification, and providing better continuous humidification or dehumidification of the room.

[0074] Optionally, the frame 910 has a rectangular frame structure, with through holes 911 located on the inner side of the rectangular frame structure. Multiple heating elements 920 are provided, and these heating elements 920 are evenly arranged along the width of the rectangular frame structure, with an air passage 921 defined between adjacent heating elements 920. In this way, by providing multiple evenly arranged heating elements 920, the heat exchange area is increased. The airflow passes through the air passage 921 defined between adjacent heating elements 920, increasing the contact area between the airflow and the heating elements 920, further improving the heat exchange efficiency between the airflow and the heating unit 900. This allows the heated airflow to more efficiently regenerate and release the absorbed moisture in the moisture-absorbing disc 200, thereby improving humidification or dehumidification efficiency.

[0075] Optionally, the heating unit 900 is disposed within the first flow channel 310 and / or the second flow channel 320. Thus, since the first flow channel 310 is located within the first channel 110 and the second flow channel 320 is located within the second channel 120, the airflow flowing through the first channel 110 passes through the first flow channel 310, and the airflow flowing through the second channel 120 passes through the second channel 120. Therefore, the heating unit 900 can heat the airflow passing through the first flow channel 310 and / or the second flow channel 320. When the heated airflow passes through the moisture-absorbing disc 200, it can better regenerate the moisture absorbed within the moisture-absorbing disc 200 and better remove the regenerated moisture, thus achieving the function of humidification or dehumidification, thereby providing better and continuous humidification or dehumidification of the room.

[0076] Optionally, a heating element 900 is provided in the first flow channel 310 or the second flow channel 320. In this way, the heating element 900 can heat the flowing air, so that the heated air can carry away the moisture absorbed in the moisture-absorbing turntable 200, thereby better humidifying or dehumidifying the indoor environment.

[0077] In some instances, when the indoor airflow is in an internal circulation state—that is, the first flow channel 310 connects to the outside through the first air inlet 330 and the first air outlet 340, and the second flow channel 320 connects to the inside through the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360—if a heating unit 900 is provided in the first flow channel 310, the moisture in the indoor airflow flowing through the second flow channel 320 is absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200 located in the second flow channel 320, and the outdoor airflow flowing through the first flow channel 310 is heated by the heating unit 900. The heated airflow can then… The moisture absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200 in the indoor airflow is regenerated and released, discharging the moisture outdoors, thus dehumidifying the room. If a heating element 900 is provided in the second flow channel 320, the moisture in the outdoor airflow flowing through the first flow channel 310 is absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200, and the airflow flowing through the second flow channel 320 is heated by the heating element 900. The heated airflow can regenerate and release the moisture absorbed by the outdoor airflow in the moisture-absorbing disc 200, discharging the moisture indoors, thus humidifying the room. This is also effective when the indoor airflow is in external circulation mode. Below, the first flow channel 310 connects the outside and the inside through the first air inlet 330 and the second air outlet 360, and the second flow channel 320 connects the inside and the outside through the second air inlet 350 and the first air outlet 340. If a heating element 900 is provided in the first flow channel 310, the room temperature airflow in the room flows out to the outside through the second flow channel 320, and the moisture in the airflow is absorbed by the moisture-absorbing turntable 200. The outdoor airflow flows into the room through the first flow channel 310, and the outdoor airflow is heated by the heating element 900 in the first flow channel 310. The heated airflow can then be heated by the moisture-absorbing turntable 200. The moisture absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200 in the indoor airflow is regenerated and released into the room, thus humidifying the room. If a heating element 900 is provided in the second flow channel 320, the ambient temperature outdoor airflow flows into the room through the first flow channel 310, and the moisture in the airflow is absorbed by the moisture-absorbing disc 200. The indoor airflow flows out to the outside through the second flow channel 320, and the airflow is heated by the heating element 900 in the second flow channel 320. The heated airflow can regenerate and release the moisture absorbed by the outdoor airflow in the moisture-absorbing disc 200 into the outside, thus dehumidifying the room.

[0078] Optionally, both the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 are equipped with heating elements 900. This allows for dehumidification or humidification of the indoor environment regardless of whether the indoor air is in internal or external circulation mode, by controlling the opening and closing of the heating elements 900 in the first and second flow channels 310 and 320, thus improving indoor humidification or dehumidification. In some examples, when the indoor airflow is in internal circulation mode, i.e., the first flow channel 310 connects to the outside through the first air inlet 330 and the first air outlet 340, and the second flow channel 320 connects to the inside through the second air inlet 350 and the second air outlet 360, controlling the opening of the heating element 900 in the first flow channel 310 and the closing of the heating element 900 in the second flow channel 320 achieves dehumidification, and controlling the closing of the heating element 900 in the first flow channel 310 and the opening of the heating element 900 in the second flow channel 320 achieves humidification. When the indoor airflow is in external circulation, that is, the first flow channel 310 connects the outside and the inside through the first air inlet 330 and the second air outlet 360, and the second flow channel 320 connects the inside and the outside through the second air inlet 350 and the first air outlet 340, by controlling the opening of the heating part 900 in the first flow channel 310 and the closing of the heating part 900 in the second flow channel 320, the indoor air can be humidified; by controlling the closing of the heating part 900 in the first flow channel 310 and the opening of the heating part 900 in the second flow channel 320, the indoor air can be dehumidified.

[0079] Optionally, the heating unit 900 may block the flow surfaces of the first flow channel 310 and / or the second flow channel 320. This allows the airflow passing through the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320 to better contact the heating unit 900, improving the heat exchange efficiency between the airflow and the heating unit 900, and better heating the flowing airflow. The heated airflow can more efficiently regenerate and release the moisture absorbed in the moisture absorption disc 200, thereby improving the humidification or dehumidification efficiency.

[0080] Understandably, when a heating element 900 is provided in the first flow channel 310, the heating element 900 blocks the flow surface of the first flow channel 310; when a heating element 900 is provided in the second flow channel 320, the heating element 900 blocks the flow surface of the second flow channel 320; when heating elements 900 are provided in both the first flow channel 310 and the second flow channel 320, the heating element 900 in the first flow channel 310 blocks the flow surface of the first flow channel 310, and the heating element 900 in the second flow channel 320 blocks the flow surface of the second flow channel 320.
