Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of humidity control, for example, to a humidity control machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, some commercial areas such as shopping malls or warehouses often have some different requirements for the humidity of the internal air. However, the humidity in the indoor air fluctuates greatly with the change of seasons. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the humidity of the internal space, such as using humidifiers and dehumidifiers for humidification or dehumidification. Using two independent devices, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, to humidify and dehumidify the environment takes up more space and is more costly.

[0003] In the related art, there is a method of replacing indoor and outdoor air, absorbing moisture from the outdoor air and releasing it indoors, or absorbing moisture from the indoor air and releasing it outdoors, to humidify or dehumidify the indoor environment. This method is highly dependent on the outdoor environment. When the outdoor air is poor, it will enter the indoor environment, causing the indoor air quality to deteriorate. Other solutions in the related art can also close the outdoor air inlet and outlet to form an internal circulation humidification or dehumidification at the indoor air inlet and outlet to avoid outdoor air from entering the indoor environment when the outdoor environment is poor. However, this method cannot achieve continuous humidification or dehumidification, and thus causes a decrease in the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0004] Therefore, how to achieve continuous humidification or dehumidification and improve the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification under the premise of reducing the dependence on the outdoor environment has become an urgent problem to be solved by technical personnel in this field. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below. The summary is not an extensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / critical components or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0006] The disclosed embodiment provides a humidifier to selectively utilize outdoor airflow, reduce dependence on the outdoor environment, improve the stability of humidity regulation, and maintain the quality of indoor air.

[0007] In some embodiments, the humidifier includes: a housing, an air path switching mechanism, a first humidity control block, and a second humidity control block. An isolation plate is provided inside the housing to divide the inside of the housing into an air inlet channel and an air outlet channel, and a mounting groove is provided on the isolation plate; the air path switching mechanism includes a shell and a sealing partition provided inside the shell, a first channel is defined between the shell and one side of the sealing partition, and a second channel is defined between the shell and the other side of the sealing partition, the shell is provided in the mounting groove and passes through the air inlet channel and the air outlet channel, and the part of the shell provided in the air inlet channel and the part of the shell provided in the air outlet channel are both provided with vents that can be controlled to be opened or closed; the first humidity control block is rotatably provided in the first channel; the second humidity control block is rotatably provided in the second channel.

[0008] The humidifier provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0009] The air path switching mechanism is partially arranged in the air inlet channel, and the rest is arranged in the exhaust channel. The air path switching mechanism is connected with the air inlet channel and the exhaust channel respectively through different vents that can be opened or closed controllably, so that the airflow can realize both internal circulation and external circulation. At the same time, a sealing partition is arranged inside the air path switching mechanism, and the interior of the air path switching mechanism is divided into a first channel and a second channel by the sealing partition. A humidity control block is arranged in both the first channel and the second channel. When the indoor airflow is circulated in the first channel, the outdoor airflow is circulated in the second channel. After the set working time, The second channel can carry out internal circulation of indoor airflow, and the first channel can carry out external circulation of outdoor airflow. Through the circulation work in two states, continuous humidification or dehumidification can be carried out. Therefore, when the outdoor air quality is poor and there is no need for air exchange, the exchange between indoor airflow and outdoor airflow will not occur, thus avoiding the outdoor polluted air from entering the room. The outdoor airflow is selectively utilized to reduce the dependence on the outdoor environment. In addition, during the internal circulation humidification or dehumidification process, the indoor airflow and the outdoor airflow are simultaneously circulated internally, so that continuous humidification or dehumidification can be carried out to improve the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0034] Combination Figure 1-6As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a humidity control machine including: a housing 100 , an air path switching mechanism 101 , a first humidity control block 200 , and a second humidity control block 300 . An isolation plate 700 is provided inside the shell 100, dividing the inside of the shell 100 into an air inlet channel 710 and an air exhaust channel 720, and a mounting groove 701 is provided on the isolation plate 700; the air path switching mechanism 101 includes a shell 102 and a sealing partition 103 arranged in the shell 102, a first channel 104 is defined between the shell 102 and one side of the sealing partition 103, and a second channel 105 is defined between the shell 102 and the other side of the sealing partition 103, the shell 102 is arranged in the mounting groove 701, and passes through the air inlet channel 710 and the air exhaust channel 720, the part of the shell 102 arranged in the air inlet channel 710 and the part of the shell 102 arranged in the air exhaust channel 720 are both provided with a vent 400 that can be controlled to be opened or closed; the first humidity control block 200 is rotatably arranged in the first channel 104; the second humidity control block 300 is rotatably arranged in the second channel 105.

[0035] The humidifier provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is adopted, by partially setting the air path switching mechanism 101 in the air inlet channel 710, and the remaining part in the exhaust channel 720, wherein the air path switching mechanism 101 is connected with the air inlet channel 710 and the exhaust channel 720 respectively through different vents 400 that can be controlled to open or close, so that the airflow can realize both internal circulation and external circulation, and at the same time, a sealing partition 103 is arranged inside the sealing switching mechanism, and the inside of the air path switching mechanism 101 is divided into a first channel 104 and a second channel 105 by the sealing partition 103, and humidity control blocks are arranged in the first channel 104 and the second channel 105, so that the indoor airflow can be carried out in the first channel 104. During the internal circulation, the second channel 105 performs the internal circulation of the outdoor airflow. After the set working time, the second channel 105 can perform the internal circulation of the indoor airflow, and the first channel 104 performs the external circulation of the outdoor airflow. Through the circulation work in two states, continuous humidification or dehumidification can be performed. Therefore, when the outdoor air quality is poor and there is no need for air exchange, the indoor airflow and the outdoor airflow will not be exchanged, thus avoiding the outdoor polluted air from entering the room. The outdoor airflow is selectively utilized to reduce the dependence on the outdoor environment. In addition, during the internal circulation humidification or dehumidification process, the indoor airflow and the outdoor airflow are simultaneously circulated internally, so that continuous humidification or dehumidification can be performed to improve the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0036] Optionally, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 can be rotated 90 degrees relative to the housing 102. In this way, when there is no need for indoor ventilation, different vents 400 are controlled to be opened, so that the airflow entering from the outside passes through the first channel 104 and is discharged to the outside again through the vents 400 on the same side, and the airflow passing through the room also passes through the second channel 105 and is discharged into the room again through the vents 400 on the same side. By controlling the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 to rotate 90 degrees, their positions are changed, so that the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 can always cross the flow path of the airflow, so that the airflow fully passes through the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, thereby improving the efficiency of moisture absorption and moisture regeneration, and thus improving the efficiency of humidifying or dehumidifying the air.

[0037] Optionally, the shell 102 is rectangular, and half of the vents 400 are arranged on a first side surface of the shell 102, and the other half of the vents 400 are arranged on the shell 102 oppositely and on a second side surface opposite to the first side surface. In this way, half of the plurality of vents 400 can be located on one side surface of the shell 102, and the other half can be located on the other opposite side surface, so that half of the vents 400 can be connected to the indoors during installation, and the other half of the vents 400 can be connected to the outdoors, which can simplify the installation structure and facilitate later installation and use.

[0038] Optionally, the vent 400 includes: a vent A401 and a vent B402 located on one side of the first channel 104, a vent C403 located on the other side of the first channel 104 and opposite to the vent A401, and a vent D404 opposite to the vent B402; a vent E405 and a vent F406 located on one side of the second channel 105, a vent G407 located on the other side of the second channel 105 and opposite to the vent E405, and a vent H408 opposite to the vent F406; wherein the vent A401 and the vent E405 correspond in position and are located on the same vertical line. In this way, by providing a plurality of vents 400 and arranging them at both ends of the first channel 104 and the second channel 105 in the above manner, the opening or closing of different vents 400 can be controlled to change the way the airflow passes through the first channel 104 and the second channel 105, thereby making the airflow have a variety of different flow paths. The flow paths of the airflow can be switched according to demand to better humidify or dehumidify, and whether to exchange air indoors and outdoors can be controlled, thereby reducing the demand for outdoor air quality and improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0039] Optionally, the first humidity conditioning block 200 divides the first channel 104 into a first zone 106 and a second zone 107, and when located in the first position, the first zone 106 is connected to the vent A401 and the vent C403, and the second zone 107 is connected to the vent B and the vent D404; when located in the second position, the first zone 106 is connected to the vent A401 and the vent B402, and the second zone 107 is connected to the vent C403 and the vent D404. In this way, when the first humidity control block 200 is in the first position, the airflow can enter through the vent A401 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent B402, or enter through the vent D404 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent C403; and when the first humidity control block 200 is in the second position, the airflow can enter through the vent A401 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent C403, or enter through the vent D404 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent B402, so that the airflow can better pass through the first humidity control block 200, improve the absorption or release efficiency of moisture, and then improve the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0040] Optionally, the second humidity control block 300 divides the second channel 105 into a third zone 108 and a fourth zone 109, and when located in the first position, the third zone 108 is connected to the vent E405 and the vent G407, and the fourth zone 109 is connected to the vent F and the vent H408; when located in the second position, the third zone 108 is connected to the vent E405 and the vent F406, and the fourth zone 109 is connected to the vent G407 and the vent H408. In this way, when the second humidity control block 300 is in the first position, the airflow can enter through the vent E405 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent F406, or enter through the vent H408 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent G407; and when the first humidity control block 200 is in the second position, the airflow can enter through the vent E405 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent G407, or enter through the vent H408 and pass through the first humidity control block 200 and be discharged from the vent F406, so that the airflow can better pass through the second humidity control block 300, improve the absorption or release efficiency of moisture, and then improve the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0041] Optionally, the inner wall of the shell 102 is provided with sealing protrusions 110 at the first position and the second position corresponding to the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, respectively, and the sealing protrusions 110 can contact the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300. In this way, the sealing protrusions 110 are in contact with the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, so that the airflow can be prevented from leaking from the gap between the first humidity control block 200 and the inner wall of the shell 102 and the gap between the second humidity control block 300 and the inner wall of the shell 102, so that the airflow can better pass through the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0042] Optionally, when the humidifier is in the first working state, vent A401, vent C403, vent F406 and vent H408 are opened, and other vents 400 are closed; when the humidifier is in the second working state, vent B402, vent D404, vent E405 and vent G407 are opened, and other vents 400 are closed; when the humidifier is in the third working state, vent A401, vent B402, vent G407 and vent H408 are opened, and other vents 400 are closed; when the humidifier is in the fourth working state, vent C403, vent D404, vent E405 and vent F406 are opened, and other vents 400 are closed. In this way, by opening a variety of different vents 400 in combination and closing the remaining vents 400, ventilation can form a certain airflow path, so that the humidifier has a variety of working states and can change the working state according to needs, which is more applicable and improves the stability of humidification and dehumidification.

[0043] Optionally, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 have the same structure, and both include: a frame and a hygroscopic material. The frame is a rectangular structure; the hygroscopic material is filled in the frame. In this way, by providing the frame, the structural stability of the humidity control block (the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 may be collectively referred to as a humidity control block) can be improved to prevent damage to the humidity control block.

[0044] Optionally, the frame is made of glass fiber or ceramic fiber. In this way, the structure is stable and light, which facilitates the rotation of the first humidity conditioning block 200 and the second humidity conditioning block 300.

[0045] Optionally, the moisture absorbing material includes one or more of silica gel and molecular sieve. In this way, the moisture in the airflow can be efficiently absorbed, and the moisture can be efficiently released under heating, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0046] Optionally, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 both have a set angle with the sealed partition 103, and the set angle is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. In this way, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are inclined at a set angle relative to the sealed partition 103. The inclined setting can increase the contact area between the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 and the airflow, thereby improving the efficiency of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 for moisture absorption and regeneration. The smaller the angle between the sealed partition 103, the larger the contact area with the airflow, but the larger the space occupied. The larger the angle between the sealed partition 103, the smaller the contact area with the airflow, but the smaller the space occupied. Therefore, the set angle is set between 30 degrees and 90 degrees. The inclination angle of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 can be selected according to the demand for space occupation or the contact area with the airflow to meet different needs in different situations.

[0047] Optionally, the first humidity conditioning block 200 and the second humidity conditioning block 300 each have a 90 degree angle with the sealing partition 103. In this way, the space occupied by the first humidity conditioning block 200 and the second humidity conditioning block 300 is reduced, which can effectively reduce the overall volume and make the structure more compact.

[0048] Optionally, the first humidity conditioning block 200 and the second humidity conditioning block 300 are both at an angle of 45 degrees to the sealing partition 103. In this way, the space occupied by the first humidity conditioning block 200 and the second humidity conditioning block 300 is not too large, and the contact area with the airflow can be increased to enhance the humidification or dehumidification effect.

[0049] Optionally, a switch assembly 500 is provided in each vent 400, which can close or open the vent 400. In this way, the vent 400 can be opened or closed by the switch assembly 500 provided on the vent 400, and different gas flow paths can be realized by opening different vents 400, thereby performing internal circulation humidification and dehumidification, as well as external circulation humidification and dehumidification, and selectively utilizing outdoor airflow according to different needs, reducing dependence on the outdoor environment, improving the stability of humidity regulation, and maintaining the quality of indoor air.

[0050] Optionally, the switch assembly 500 includes: a closed baffle 501 and a drive motor 502. One side of the closed baffle 501 is rotatably connected to one side of the vent 400 via a rotating shaft; the drive motor 502 is fixedly arranged on the housing 102 and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft, and can drive the closed baffle 501 to rotate, so that the vent 400 is closed in the first position and the vent 400 is opened in the second position. In this way, the vent 400 is opened or closed by the structure of the closed baffle 501, and the structure is simple and easy to implement. In addition, the closed baffle 501 opens or closes the vent 400 by rotating, which can reduce the space occupied by the closed baffle 501 when it is installed, making the structure more compact.

[0051] Optionally, a sealing ring is provided around the circumference of the vent 400 and / or the circumference of the closed baffle 501. In this way, the sealing effect when the vent 400 is closed can be improved to prevent airflow leakage, which causes a decrease in the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0052] Optionally, the sealing baffle 103 is horizontally arranged in the shell 102, so that the separated first channel 104 and the second channel 105 are arranged in parallel, and the closed baffle 501 can be rotated to open the side of the vent 400 close to the edge of the shell 102, and when it is in the second position, there is a preset angle between it and the vent 400. In this way, since the opened vent 400 is arranged on one side in the middle of the first channel 104 or the second channel 105, it will cause the other side of the first channel 104 or the second channel 105 to have less air flow, and when the closed baffle 501 opens the vent 400, there is a preset angle between it and the vent 400, so that the closed baffle 501 has a certain guiding effect, so that the airflow passes through the first channel 104 and the second channel 105 more evenly, improves the uniformity of the airflow, and then makes the airflow pass through the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 more evenly, improves the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0053] Optionally, the housing 102 completely separates the air inlet channel 710 and the air outlet channel 720 at a middle position. In this way, the airflow can fully pass through the housing 102, and the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 inside the housing 102 absorb or release moisture, thereby better humidifying or dehumidifying the room, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0054] Optionally, vent A401, vent C403, vent E405 and vent G407 are located in the air inlet channel 710, and vent B402, vent D404, vent F406 and vent H408 are located in the air outlet channel 720. In this way, the airflow passing through the interior of the housing 102 can selectively flow through the air inlet channel 710 and the air outlet channel 720, so that the whole has multiple working states, and the working state can be switched according to needs, thereby improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0055] Optionally, when the air inlet channel 710 is blocked by the housing 102, it can be connected through a first fresh air vent set on one side, and a switch structure is provided in the first fresh air vent to open or close the first fresh air vent; when the air outlet channel 720 is blocked by the housing 102, it can be connected through a second fresh air vent set on one side, and a switch structure is provided in the second fresh air vent to open or close the second fresh air vent. In this way, when there is no gas exchange between indoor and outdoor, and internal circulation humidification or internal circulation dehumidification is performed, a small amount of airflow exchange can be performed through the fresh air vent to meet different needs and improve the diversity of the work turntable.

[0056] like Figure 7 As shown, optionally, the humidifier further includes: a first driving mechanism 610 and a second driving mechanism 620. The first driving mechanism 610 is connected to the first humidification control block 200, and can drive the first humidification control block 200 to rotate; the second driving mechanism 620 is connected to the second humidification control block 300, and can drive the second humidification control block 300 to rotate. In this way, by adjusting the position of the first humidification control block 200 through the first driving mechanism 610 and adjusting the position of the second humidification control block 300 through the second driving mechanism 620, the positions of the first humidification control block 200 and the second humidification control block 300 can be better controlled, and the first humidification control block 200 and the second humidification control block 300 are driven respectively, so that the first humidification control block 200 and the second humidification control block 300 do not need to move synchronously, thereby improving the flexibility of use. For example, when the first humidity control block 200 is in the first position, the outdoor air enters and passes through the first humidity control block 200 through the vent D404. After the moisture is absorbed by the first humidity control block 200, it is discharged to the outside through the vent C403 to collect the outdoor moisture. At this time, the second humidity control block 300 can be in the second position, so that the outdoor air enters and passes through the second humidity control module through the vent H408, and the moisture on the second humidity control block 300 is released and discharged to the room through the vent F406 to humidify the room. The moisture in the outdoor airflow can be more utilized to humidify the room, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0057] Optionally, the first driving mechanism 610 and the second driving mechanism 620 have the same structure. Taking the first driving mechanism 610 as an example, the first driving mechanism 610 includes: a motor 611 and a driving shaft 612. The driving shaft 612 is connected to the output end of the motor 611 and is fixedly connected to the first humidity control block 200. In this way, the first humidity control block 200 can be driven to rotate by the motor 611, which simplifies the driving structure, has stable operation, and is low in cost.

[0058] like Figure 8-12 As shown, in some embodiments, the air inlet channel 710 includes: a first air inlet end 711 and a first air outlet end 712. One end of the first air inlet end 711 is connected to the outside, and the other end can be connected to the first channel 104 or the second channel 105, and a first heating mechanism 713 is provided inside; one end of the first air outlet end 712 is connected to the room, and the other end can be connected to the first channel 104 or the second channel 105, and a first fan 714 is provided inside. In this way, the first heating mechanism 713 is arranged in the first air inlet end 711 to heat the airflow first and then make the heated airflow pass through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, and use the heated airflow to heat the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 in the humidifier, and then regenerate the moisture therein, so that the moisture in the room can be collected when the indoor and outdoor air are exchanged, and then the moisture is released and discharged into the room to maintain the indoor humidity, or when the indoor internal circulation dehumidification is performed, the outdoor wind is used to heat the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 to regenerate the moisture , so as to facilitate the subsequent dehumidification of the indoor air flow and the dehumidification operation of the indoor room, and a first fan 714 is provided at the first air outlet end 712 of the air inlet channel 710 to drive the air flow. Since the first heating mechanism 713 needs to be arranged at the first air inlet end 711, the air flow is first heated and then passed through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, the first fan 714 is arranged at the first air outlet end 712 to avoid the first fan 714 and the first heating mechanism 713 being installed in adjacent positions, which would affect each other and reduce their respective service life, thereby making the installation structure more reasonable.

[0059] Optionally, the vent A401 and the vent E405 are connected to the first air inlet 711, and the vent C403 and the vent G407 are connected to the first air outlet. In this way, the outdoor air entering the first air inlet 711 can enter the housing 102 through the vent A401 or the vent E405, and be discharged into the first air outlet through the vent C403 or the vent G407 and then enter the room. By switching between the two flow paths alternately, humidification or dehumidification is continuously performed to maintain the continuity of humidification or dehumidification.

[0060] Optionally, the exhaust channel 720 includes: a second air inlet end 721 and a second air outlet end 722. One end of the second air inlet end 721 is connected to the room, and the other end can be connected to the first channel 104 or the second channel 105, and a second heating mechanism 723 is provided inside; one end of the second air outlet end 722 is connected to the outside, and the other end can be connected to the first channel 104 or the second channel 105, and a second fan 724 is provided inside. In this way, the second heating mechanism 723 is arranged in the second air inlet end 721 to heat the airflow first and then make the heated airflow pass through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, and use the heated airflow to heat the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 in the humidifier to regenerate the moisture therein. It can be achieved that when the indoor and outdoor air are exchanged, the moisture of the outdoor incoming air is absorbed and the moisture is regenerated through the heated indoor airflow to maintain the indoor dryness. Or when the indoor internal circulation humidification is performed, the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 is first used to absorb the outdoor moisture, and then the heated indoor air is used to regenerate the moisture. The moisture in the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 is regenerated and discharged into the room to humidify the indoor air, and a second fan 724 is provided at the second air outlet end 722 of the air inlet channel 710 to drive the air flow. Since the second heating mechanism 723 needs to be arranged at the second air inlet end 721, the air flow is first heated and then passed through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300. Therefore, the second fan 724 is arranged at the second air outlet end 722 to avoid the second fan 724 and the second heating mechanism 723 being installed in adjacent positions, which would affect each other and reduce their respective service lives, thereby making the installation structure more reasonable.

[0061] Optionally, the first heating mechanism 713 has the same structure as the second heating mechanism 723. Taking the first heating mechanism 713 as an example, the first heating mechanism 713 is a rectangular frame structure, and a plurality of mica electric heating sheets evenly arranged along its width are arranged inside, and there are air passages between adjacent mica electric heating sheets. In this way, the airflow passing through the first heating mechanism 713 can be heated more evenly, and the wind resistance is reduced, so that the airflow can pass better, thereby better humidification or dehumidification.

[0062] Optionally, the vent B402 and the vent F406 are connected to the second air exhaust end, and the vent D404 and the vent H408 are connected to the second air inlet end 721. In this way, the outdoor air entering the second air inlet end 721 can enter the housing 102 through the vent D404 or the vent H408, and be discharged into the second air exhaust end through the vent B402 or the vent F406 and then discharged into the outdoors. By switching between the two flow paths alternately, humidification or dehumidification is continuously performed to maintain the continuity of humidification or dehumidification.

[0063] Optionally, an evaporator 800 is provided in the first air outlet 712 and / or the second air outlet 722. In this way, since the evaporator 800 has a refrigeration effect, water vapor can condense when it is cooled, thereby achieving a dehumidification effect. Therefore, the evaporator 800 is provided at the first air outlet 712 or the second air outlet 722, so that the airflow dehumidified by the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 can be dehumidified for a second time, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0064] Optionally, an evaporator 800 is provided in the first air outlet 712. In this way, when there is a need for dehumidification indoors, if the dehumidification by the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 is not complete, the evaporator 800 provided in the first air outlet 712 can be used for secondary dehumidification to keep the gas discharged into the room dry, thereby improving the dehumidification effect.

[0065] Optionally, a condenser 900 is provided in the first air inlet end 711 and / or the second air inlet end 721. In this way, when air conditioning is used indoors for cooling, the condenser 900 connected to the air conditioning is provided at the first air inlet end 711 or the second air inlet end 721, and the heat of the condenser 900 can be used to heat the airflow passing through, and the waste heat generated during the cooling process can be used to assist in regenerating the moisture in the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, thereby reducing the power of the heating mechanism, improving the utilization rate of energy, and being more environmentally friendly.

[0066] Optionally, a condenser 900 is provided in both the first air inlet end 711 and the second air inlet end 721. In this way, in the case of indoor cooling, the heat generated by the condenser 900 is generally discarded, and the heat generated by the condenser 900 can be used to release the moisture in the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, thereby reducing the demand for the heating mechanism and saving energy and protecting the environment.

[0067] Optionally, the evaporator 800 and the condenser 900 are connected to the compressor of the indoor air conditioner. In this way, the compressor of the air conditioner is used to generate heat and cold, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and reduces costs.

[0068] Optionally, both the evaporator 800 and the condenser 900 are provided with a switch valve, which can controllably open or close the evaporator 800 and the refrigerator. In this way, the condenser 900 and part or all of the evaporators 800 can be opened or closed according to different working conditions to prevent affecting the normal operation of humidification or dehumidification. For example, during the process of humidifying the room, the condenser 900 needs to be closed to prevent the water from being liquefied and reducing the humidification efficiency.

[0069] Optionally, the humidifier further includes: a semiconductor refrigeration device, the evaporator 800 can be the cold end of the semiconductor refrigeration device, and the condenser 900 can be the hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration device. In this way, when using semiconductor refrigeration, the cold generated by the cold end and the heat generated by the hot end can be used at the same time, thereby improving the utilization rate of energy, being more energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and the size of the semiconductor refrigeration is small and easy to install.
