Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] At present, some commercial areas such as shopping malls or warehouses often have 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 a humidifier and a dehumidifier for humidification or dehumidification. Using two independent devices, a humidifier and a dehumidifier, to humidify and dehumidify the environment takes up more space and is more expensive.

[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. However, the related art is highly dependent on the outdoor environment. When the outdoor air quality is poor, the low-quality outdoor air will be discharged into the indoor environment, polluting the indoor environment, and the stability is poor.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the dependence of humidity control on the outdoor environment and improve the stability of humidity control has become an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. 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 elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments, but rather serves as a prelude to the detailed description that follows.

[0006] The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a humidity control device for selectively utilizing outdoor airflow, reducing dependence on the outdoor environment, improving the stability of humidity control, and maintaining the quality of indoor air.

[0007] In some embodiments, a humidity control device includes: a housing, a sealed partition, a first humidity control block, and a second humidity control block. The sealed partition is disposed within the housing, dividing the interior of the housing into a first channel and a second channel; the first humidity control block is disposed within the first channel, dividing the first channel into a first zone and a second zone; the second humidity control block is disposed within the second channel, dividing the second channel into a third zone and a fourth zone; wherein each of the first zone, the second zone, the third zone, and the fourth zone is provided with two vents that can be controlled to open or close.

[0008] The humidity control device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:

[0009] A sealed partition is used to separate the interior of the shell into a first channel and a second channel, and humidity control blocks are provided in the first channel and the second channel. When the airflow passes through the humidity control block, the moisture in the airflow will be absorbed by the humidity control block, so that the exhaust has a dehumidification effect. When the heated airflow passes through the humidity control block, the moisture in the humidity control block will be regenerated, so that the exhaust has a humidification effect. By controlling the opening of different vents, the airflow and the heated airflow are alternately passed through the first channel and the second channel, so that humidification or dehumidification can be performed uninterruptedly. Moreover, by controlling the opening of different vents, the indoor airflow and the outdoor airflow can be exchanged or not exchanged during the humidification or dehumidification process. When there is a need for indoor ventilation, the indoor airflow and the outdoor airflow are exchanged. When the outdoor air quality is poor and there is no need for ventilation, the indoor airflow and the outdoor airflow are not exchanged, thereby preventing outdoor polluted air from entering the room. The outdoor airflow is selectively utilized, the dependence on the outdoor environment is reduced, the stability of humidity regulation is improved, and the quality of indoor air is maintained.

[0032] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0033] Combine Figure 1-4As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a humidity control device comprising: a housing 100, a sealing partition 101, a first humidity control block 200, and a second humidity control block 300. The sealing partition 101 is disposed within the housing 100, dividing the interior of the housing 100 into a first channel 102 and a second channel 103; the first humidity control block 200 is disposed within the first channel 102, dividing the first channel 102 into a first zone 104 and a second zone 105; the second humidity control block 300 is disposed within the second channel 103, dividing the second channel 103 into a third zone 106 and a fourth zone 107; wherein each of the first zone 104, the second zone 105, the third zone 106, and the fourth zone 107 is provided with two vents 400 that can be controlled to open or close.

[0034] The humidity control device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure is used to separate the interior of the housing 100 into a first channel 102 and a second channel 103 by using a sealed partition 101, and a humidity control block is provided in the first channel 102 and the second channel 103. When the airflow passes through the humidity control block, the moisture in the airflow will be absorbed by the humidity control block, so that the exhaust has a dehumidification effect, and when the heated airflow passes through the humidity control block, the moisture in the humidity control block will be regenerated, so that the exhaust has a humidification effect. By controlling the opening of different vents 400, the airflow and the heated airflow are alternately passed through the first channel 102 and the second channel 10 3. It can continuously humidify or dehumidify, and by controlling the opening of different vents 400, it can be achieved that the indoor air flow is exchanged with the outdoor air flow during the humidification or dehumidification process, or no exchange occurs. Then, when there is a need for indoor ventilation, the indoor air flow is exchanged with the outdoor air flow, and when there is no need for ventilation due to poor outdoor air quality, the indoor air flow is not exchanged with the outdoor air flow, thereby preventing outdoor polluted air from entering the room, selectively utilizing outdoor air flow, reducing dependence on the outdoor environment, improving the stability of humidity regulation, and maintaining indoor air quality.

[0035] Optionally, a switch assembly 500 is provided on the 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. Different air flow paths can be achieved by opening different vents 400, thereby performing internal circulation humidification and dehumidification, as well as external circulation humidification and dehumidification. Outdoor airflow can be selectively utilized according to different needs, reducing dependence on the outdoor environment, improving the stability of humidity regulation, and maintaining indoor air quality.

[0036] Optionally, the switch assembly 500 includes a closing baffle 501 and a drive motor 502. One side of the closing baffle 501 is rotatably connected to a side of the vent 400 via a rotating shaft. The drive motor 502 is fixed to the housing 100, and its output shaft is connected to the rotating shaft. The drive motor 502 is capable of rotating the closing baffle 501, such that the closing baffle 501 closes the vent in a first position and opens the vent in a second position. In this way, the vent 400 is opened or closed by the structure of the closing baffle 501, which is simple and easy to implement. Furthermore, the space occupied by the closing baffle 501 during installation can be reduced, making the structure more compact.

[0037] 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 air leakage and reduce the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0038] Optionally, the sealing baffle 101 is horizontally disposed within the housing 100, such that the separated first channel 102 and second channel 103 are arranged in parallel, and the closed baffle 501 can be rotated to open toward the side of the vent 400 near the edge of the housing 100, and when in the second position, a preset angle is formed between the closed baffle 501 and the vent 400. Thus, since the open vent 400 is disposed on one side of the middle of the first channel 102 or the second channel 103, the airflow on the other side of the first channel 102 or the second channel 103 is less. When the closed baffle 501 opens the vent 400, a preset angle is formed between the closed baffle 501 and the vent 400, allowing the closed baffle 501 to have a certain flow-guiding effect, making the airflow more evenly distributed through the first channel 102 and the second channel 103, thereby improving the uniformity of the airflow and, in turn, making the airflow more evenly distributed through the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0039] Optionally, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are both rotatable relative to the housing 100 at an angle of 90 degrees. Thus, when there is no need for indoor ventilation, the different vents 400 are controlled to open, allowing air entering from the outside to pass through the first channel 102 and then be discharged outdoors through the vents 400 on the same side. Similarly, air passing through the room passes through the second channel 103 and then is discharged back into the room through the vents 400 on the same side. By controlling the rotation of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, their positions are changed, allowing them to always straddle the airflow path, allowing air to fully pass 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 thereby improving the efficiency of humidifying or dehumidifying the air.

[0040] like Figure 5-6 As shown, optionally, the vent 400 includes: a vent A401 and a vent B402 located on one side of the first channel 102, a vent C403 located on the other side of the first channel 102 and opposite to the vent A401, and a vent D404 opposite to the vent B402; a vent 405E and a vent F406 located on one side of the second channel 103, a vent G407 located on the other side of the second channel 103 and opposite to the vent 405E, and a vent H408 opposite to the vent F406; wherein, the vent A401 and the vent 405E correspond in position and are located on the same vertical line. In this way, by setting up multiple vents 400 and arranging them at both ends of the first channel 102 and the second channel 103 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 102 and the second channel 103, thereby making the airflow have a variety of different flow paths, and the flow paths of the airflow can be switched according to demand to better humidify or dehumidify, and to control whether to exchange air indoors and outdoors, thereby reducing the demand for outdoor air quality and improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0041] Optionally, when the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are in their initial positions, the first zone 104 is provided with vents A401 and vents B402, the second zone 105 is provided with vents C403 and vents D404, the third zone 106 is provided with vents 405E and vents F406, and the fourth zone 107 is provided with vents G407 and vents H408; when the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are in a position rotated 90 degrees, the first zone 104 is provided with vents A401 and vents C403, the second zone 105 is provided with vents B402 and vents D404, the third zone 106 is provided with vents 405E and vents G407, and the fourth zone 107 is provided with vents F406 and vents H408. In this way, different vents 400 can be controlled to open or close during airflow adjustment, changing the flow path of the airflow, and allowing the airflow to pass through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 to better absorb or release moisture, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0042] Optionally, when the device for humidity control 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 device for humidity control is in the second working state, vent B402, vent D404, vent 405E and vent G407 are opened, and other vents 400 are closed; when the device for humidity control 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 device for humidity control is in the fourth working state, vent C403, vent D404, vent 405E 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 device for humidity control has multiple working states, can change the working state according to needs, has stronger applicability, 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, each comprising a frame and a hygroscopic material. The frame is rectangular and filled with hygroscopic material. This improves the structural stability of the humidity control blocks (the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 may be collectively referred to as the humidity control blocks) and prevents damage to the blocks.

[0044] Optionally, the skeleton 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, so that 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 humidity control device further includes a drive mechanism 600. The drive mechanism 600 is connected to both the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 and is capable of driving the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 to rotate. Thus, the drive mechanism 600 drives the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, facilitating control of their movement and better controlling their positions.

[0047] Optionally, the drive mechanism 600 includes a motor 601 and a drive shaft 602. The drive shaft 602 is connected to the output end of the motor 601 and is fixedly connected to the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300. This allows the motor 601 to drive the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 to rotate synchronously, simplifying the drive structure, ensuring stable operation, and reducing costs.

[0048] Optionally, the centers of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are located on the same vertical line, and the drive shaft 602 is located on the vertical line and passes through one of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 and connects to the other. By driving the center positions of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, the rotation stability of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 is improved.

[0049] Optionally, the centers of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are located on the same vertical line, and the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are fixedly connected via a fixed shaft, and the drive shaft 602 is connected to the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300. In this way, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are fixedly connected, and when one is driven to rotate, the other can rotate synchronously with it, which can simplify the drive structure, ensure more stable operation, and reduce costs.

[0050] Optionally, a perforation is provided at the center of the sealing partition 101 to allow the drive shaft 602 or the fixed shaft to pass through. This facilitates the connection between the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, simplifies the installation structure, and allows the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 to rotate synchronously.

[0051] Optionally, a sealing bearing is provided in the perforation. In this way, the sealing effect of the sealing partition 101 can be maintained to prevent the airflows on both sides from mixing and affecting the efficiency of humidification or dehumidification.

[0052] Optionally, each of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 has a set angle with respect to the sealing baffle 101, and the set angle is greater than or equal to 30 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. Thus, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are tilted at a set angle relative to the sealing baffle 101. This tilting arrangement increases 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 in moisture absorption and regeneration. A smaller angle with respect to the sealing baffle 101 increases the contact area with the airflow, but also occupies more space. A larger angle with respect to the sealing baffle 101 decreases the contact area with the airflow, but also occupies less space. Therefore, the set angle is set between 30 and 90 degrees. The tilt angle of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 can be selected based on the required space occupation or contact area with the airflow to meet different needs in different situations.

[0053] Optionally, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 each have a 90-degree angle with the sealing partition 101. In this way, the space occupied by the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 is reduced, which can effectively reduce the overall volume and make the structure more compact.

[0054] Optionally, the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 are each at a 45-degree angle to the sealing partition 101. This reduces the space occupied by the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 while increasing the contact area with the airflow, thereby enhancing the humidification or dehumidification effect.

[0055] Optionally, the housing 100 is rectangular, and half of the plurality of vents 400 are disposed on a first side surface of the housing 100, with the remaining half disposed on a second side surface of the housing 100 opposite the first side surface. Alternatively, the housing 100 is cylindrical, and the plurality of vents 400 are evenly disposed on the annular sidewall of the housing 100. In this manner, half of the plurality of vents 400 can be disposed on one side surface of the housing 100, with the remaining half disposed on the opposite side surface. This facilitates connection between half of the vents 400 and the indoor environment during installation, while the remaining half can be connected to the outdoors. This simplifies the installation structure and facilitates subsequent installation and use.

[0056] Optionally, the housing 100 is rectangular, and sealing protrusions 108 are provided inside the housing 100 at positions corresponding to the initial positions of the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 and at positions after being rotated 90 degrees. The sealing protrusions 108 can contact the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300. The contact between the sealing protrusions 108 and the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 prevents airflow from leaking through the gaps between the first humidity control block 200 and the inner wall of the housing 100, and between the second humidity control block 300 and the inner wall of the housing 100. This allows airflow to better pass through the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, thereby improving the efficiency of humidification and dehumidification.

[0057] Combine Figure 7-11 As shown, the device for humidity control in the embodiment of the present disclosure further includes: a housing 700 and an isolation plate 701. The isolation plate 701 divides the interior of the housing 700 into an air inlet channel 710 and an air outlet channel 720. The isolation plate 701 is provided with a mounting groove 702. The housing 100 is disposed in the mounting groove 702, with a portion of the housing 100 located in the air inlet channel 710 and the remainder located in the air outlet channel 720.

[0058] A device for humidity control provided in this embodiment is used, and the interior of the shell 700 is separated into an air inlet channel 710 and an exhaust channel 720 by an isolation plate 701, so that the humidifier can take air into the room and exhaust air to the outside at the same time, and has the function of fresh air ventilation. At the same time, the shell 100 is set in the installation groove 702. The structural characteristics inside the shell 100 can be used to change the direction of the airflow by opening or closing different ventilation ports 400, thereby being able to stop the indoor and outdoor air exchange, forming an internal circulation humidification or dehumidification effect, thereby improving the overall adaptability of the humidifier and improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0059] Optionally, the housing 100 completely separates the air inlet channel 710 and the air outlet channel 720 at a central position. This allows airflow to fully flow through the housing 100, allowing the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 inside the housing 100 to absorb or release moisture, thereby better humidifying or dehumidifying the room and improving humidification and dehumidification efficiency.

[0060] Optionally, vents A401, C403, 405E, and G407 are located in the air inlet passage 710, while vents B402, D404, F406, and H408 are located in the air outlet passage 720. In this way, the airflow passing through the interior of the housing 100 can selectively flow through the air inlet passage 710 and the air outlet passage 720, allowing the housing 100 to have multiple operating states. The operating state can be switched according to demand, thereby improving the stability of humidification or dehumidification.

[0061] Optionally, if the air inlet duct 710 is blocked by the housing 100, it can be connected via a first micro-fresh air vent provided on one side, and a switch structure is provided within the first micro-fresh air vent to enable opening or closing of the first micro-fresh air vent. If the air outlet duct 720 is blocked by the housing 100, it can be connected via a second micro-fresh air vent provided on one side, and a switch structure is provided within the second micro-fresh air vent to enable opening or closing of the second micro-fresh air vent. In this way, when there is no air exchange between the indoor and outdoor spaces and internal circulation humidification or internal circulation dehumidification is being performed, a small amount of airflow exchange can be performed through the micro-fresh air vent, meeting different needs and increasing the versatility of the worktable.

[0062] Optionally, the air inlet channel 710 includes: a first air inlet end 711 and a first air outlet end 712. The first air inlet end 711 is connected to the outside, and a first heating mechanism 713 is provided inside; the first air outlet end 712 is connected to the inside, and a first fan 714 is provided inside. In this way, the first heating mechanism 713 is provided in the first air inlet end 711 to heat the airflow first and then pass the heated airflow through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300. The heated airflow is used to heat the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 in the humidity control device, and then the moisture therein is regenerated. This can realize the collection of indoor moisture when exchanging air between indoor and outdoor, and then release the moisture and discharge it 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 moisture in the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300 to regenerate the moisture. Out, it is convenient to continue to absorb moisture from the indoor air flow and perform dehumidification operations on the indoor air, 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 set 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. Therefore, the first fan 714 is set 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 will affect each other and reduce their respective service lives, making the installation structure more reasonable.

[0063] Optionally, vents A401 and vents 405E are connected to the first air inlet 711, while vents C403 and vents G407 are connected to the first air outlet. Thus, outdoor air entering the first air inlet 711 can enter the housing 100 through vents A401 or vents 405E, and be exhausted to the first air outlet through vents C403 or vents G407, and then enter the room. By switching between the two air flow paths, continuous humidification or dehumidification is performed, maintaining continuity of humidification or dehumidification.

[0064] Optionally, the exhaust duct 720 includes: a second air inlet end 721 and a second air outlet end 722. The second air inlet end 721 is connected to the indoor room, and a second heating mechanism 723 is provided inside; the second air outlet end 722 is connected to the outdoor room, and a second fan 724 is provided inside. In this way, the second heating mechanism 723 is provided in the second air inlet end 721 to heat the airflow first and then pass the heated airflow through the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300. The heated airflow is used to heat the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 in the humidity control device, and then the moisture therein is regenerated. This can achieve the goal of absorbing moisture from the outdoor air when exchanging air between the indoor and outdoor rooms and regenerating the moisture through the heated indoor airflow to maintain the indoor dryness, or when performing internal circulation humidification indoors, first use the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300 to absorb moisture from the outdoor room, and then use the heated indoor airflow to regenerate moisture. The wind regenerates the moisture in the first humidity control block 200 and the second humidity control block 300, and discharges it into the room to humidify the indoor air. 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 set 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 set 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 will affect each other and reduce their respective service lives, making the installation structure more reasonable.

[0065] Optionally, the first heating mechanism 713 and the second heating mechanism 723 have the same structure. Taking the first heating mechanism 713 as an example, the first heating mechanism 713 is a rectangular frame structure with multiple mica electric heating plates evenly spaced along its width, and air channels between adjacent mica electric heating plates. This allows the airflow flowing through the first heating mechanism 713 to be more evenly heated, reduces wind resistance, and allows for better airflow, thereby improving humidification or dehumidification.

[0066] Optionally, vent B402 and vent F406 are connected to the second air exhaust port, and vent D404 and vent H408 are connected to the second air inlet port 721. In this way, outdoor air entering the second air inlet port 721 can enter the housing 100 through vent D404 or vent H408, and be discharged into the second air exhaust port through vent B402 or vent F406, and then discharged to the outside. By switching between the two flow paths, continuous humidification or continuous dehumidification is performed, maintaining the continuity of humidification or dehumidification.

[0067] Optionally, an evaporator 800 is provided in the first air outlet 712 and / or the second air outlet 722. Since the evaporator 800 has a cooling effect, water vapor can condense when cooled, thereby achieving a dehumidification effect. Therefore, the evaporator 800 provided at the first air outlet 712 or the second air outlet 722 can perform secondary dehumidification on the airflow dehumidified by the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, thereby improving the dehumidification efficiency.

[0068] Optionally, an evaporator 800 is provided in the first air outlet 712. Thus, if dehumidification is required indoors and the first and second humidity control blocks 200 and 300 are insufficient, the evaporator 800 provided in the first air outlet 712 can be used for secondary dehumidification, thereby keeping the air discharged into the room dry and improving the dehumidification effect.

[0069] Optionally, a condenser 900 is provided in the first air inlet end 711 and / or the second air inlet end 721. Thus, when air conditioning is used indoors for cooling, the condenser 900, which is connected to the air conditioner, is provided at the first air inlet end 711 or the second air inlet end 721. Heat from the condenser 900 can be used to heat the airflow passing through the condenser 900, and waste heat generated during the cooling process can be used to assist in regenerating moisture from the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, thereby reducing the power of the heating mechanism, improving energy utilization, and being more environmentally friendly.

[0070] Optionally, a condenser 900 is provided in both the first air inlet end 711 and the second air inlet end 721. Thus, when cooling the room, the heat generated by the condenser 900 is generally discarded, and the heat generated by the condenser 900 can be used to release moisture from the first humidity control block 200 or the second humidity control block 300, thereby reducing the need for a heating mechanism and achieving energy conservation and environmental protection.

[0071] 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, environmentally friendly, and reduces costs.

[0072] Optionally, both the evaporator 800 and the condenser 900 are equipped with on / off valves that can controllably open or close the evaporator 800 and the refrigerator. This allows the condenser 900 and some or all of the evaporators 800 to be opened or closed depending on the operating conditions, preventing disruption to the normal humidification or dehumidification process. For example, during indoor humidification, the condenser 900 may need to be closed to prevent moisture from liquefying and reducing humidification efficiency.

[0073] Optionally, the humidity control device further includes a semiconductor refrigeration device, where 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, the semiconductor refrigeration device can simultaneously utilize the cooling energy generated by the cold end and the heat generated by the hot end, thereby improving energy utilization and being more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Furthermore, the semiconductor refrigeration device is compact and easy to install.
