[0068] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0069] Combined with Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a water purification module, including an air delivery component and a water delivery component.

[0070] The air delivery component and the water delivery component define a common purification chamber 100, and are provided with an air inlet 103 and an air outlet passage 732. Both the air inlet 103 and the air outlet passage 732 are in communication with the purification chamber 100, and the air is purified by means of water washing within the purification chamber 100. Here, for the purpose of facilitating the explanation of the product structure of this embodiment, the mating structures of the components related to the purification chamber 100 and the air delivery component, and the mating structures of the components related to the water delivery component will be described by way of example respectively.

[0071] In some alternative embodiments, the air delivery component includes: an air inlet passage, disposed at the lower part of the water purification module and admitting air from the circumferential direction; a purification air passage, in communication with the air inlet passage, configured to supply air in the vertical direction and wash and purify the air flow; and an air outlet passage, in communication with the purification air passage, configured to discharge the purified air flow.

[0072] With the above-described embodiment, by arranging the air inlet passage, the purification air passage, and the air outlet passage in sequence from bottom to top, a vertical air supply mode is achieved. This facilitates the purification of the air flow by water washing in the purification air passage, and the water droplets carried by the air flow move downward under the action of gravity and separate from the upward flowing air flow, which helps to reduce the content of water droplets in the air flow and improve the air quality delivered to the indoor environment.

[0073] Combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 as shown, optionally, the water purification module includes a first cylinder 150 that encloses the air inlet passage, and an air inlet 103 is formed in the side wall of the first cylinder 150; a second cylinder 110 of the purification chamber 100 is disposed above the first cylinder 150 and is in communication with the first cylinder 150. Combined with Figure 2 as shown. In this way, a circumferential air inlet and a vertical air supply mode are achieved through the first cylinder 150 and the second cylinder 110, which facilitates the water washing purification of the air flow in the second cylinder 110.

[0074] In this embodiment, the purification chamber 100 serves as the purification air passage of the air delivery component.

[0075] Combined with Figures 6 to 8 as shown, the purification chamber 100 includes: a second cylinder 110, provided with a first air inlet 101, including a second hollow portion 111 in communication with the first air inlet 101; a third cylinder 120, disposed above the second cylinder 110 and having a first air outlet 102 at the top, including a third hollow portion 121 in communication with the first air outlet 102; a second connecting portion 140, extending outward from the side wall of the second cylinder 110 to the side wall of the third cylinder 120 to connect the second cylinder 110 and the third cylinder 120; wherein, an installation hole 104 for mating with the spray member of the water delivery component is provided on the side wall of the second cylinder 110.

[0076] Here, the purification chamber 100 is connected to the air inlet 103 of the first cylinder 150 through the first air inlet 101, and is connected to the air outlet channel through the first air outlet 102.

[0077] With the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air flow enters the third cylinder 120 through the second cylinder 110 and is washed and purified in the second cylinder 110. Based on the second connecting portion 140 extending outward from the side wall of the second cylinder 110 to the side wall of the third cylinder 120, the second cylinder 110 and the third cylinder 120 are connected. Thus, the coverage area of the water curtain is larger than the cross-sectional area of the air flow flowing from the second cylinder 110 to the third cylinder 120, effectively improving the coverage range of the water curtain when purifying the air flow and enhancing the purification effect.

[0078] The air flow enters the second hollow portion 111 from the first air inlet 101 of the second cylinder 110 and vertically supplies air in the second hollow portion 111 and the third hollow portion 121 for washing and purifying the air flow. After the air flow is washed and purified by the spray member of the second cylinder 110, the water droplets carried by the air flow move downward under the action of gravity, thereby separating from the upward flowing air flow, which helps to reduce the content of water droplets in the air flow and improve the air quality delivered to the indoor environment.

[0079] For the second connecting portion 140, which extends outward from the side wall of the second cylinder 110 to the side wall of the third cylinder 120 and connects the second cylinder 110 and the third cylinder 120, it can be obtained that the ventilation area of the third cylinder 120 is larger than that of the second cylinder 110. In this way, it is convenient to set an air outlet cover and a waterproof cover at the first air outlet 102 of the third cylinder 120 to reduce the impact force of the air flow from the second hollow portion 111 on the air outlet cover; secondly, it helps to reduce the water droplets carried by the air flow through the air outlet cover and the waterproof cover and improve the air quality after purification.

[0080] Optionally, the second cylinder 110 includes: a first connecting portion 130, which extends inward from the side wall of the second cylinder 110 and surrounds to form the first air inlet 101 of the second cylinder 110. In this way, it helps to achieve the full coverage of the water curtain on the intake air flow.

[0081] From the fact that the first connecting portion 130 extends inward from the side wall of the second cylinder 110 and surrounds to form the first air inlet 101 of the second cylinder 110, it can be obtained that the ventilation area of the second hollow portion 111 of the second cylinder 110 is larger than that of the first air inlet 101. Thus, when the spray member is arranged on the side wall of the second cylinder 110, it helps to achieve the full coverage of the water curtain in the second cylinder 110 on the intake air flow.

[0082] When the water curtain formed by the spraying part washes and purifies the flowing air current, the water droplets in the water curtain are impacted by the air current and splash outwards to the side wall of the second cylinder body 110 and the first connection part 130. The first connection part 130 can recover the splashed water droplets.

[0083] Optionally, part or all of the upper surface of the first connection part 130 is inclined. In this way, it helps the water droplets splashing onto the second cylinder body 110 and the first connection part 130 to flow downwards, facilitating the collection and recovery of dirty water. For example, when part of the upper surface of the first connection part 130 is inclined, the dirty water can gather on the non-inclined part of the upper surface of the first connection part 130, and the first connection part 130 can also play a role in collecting a certain amount of dirty water; when the entire upper surface of the first connection part 130 is inclined, the dirty water directly flows into the device for dirty water recovery, and no dirty water remains on the upper surface of the first connection part 130.

[0084] Optionally, in combination Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the first connection part 130 includes: a converging section 131, surrounding the first air inlet 101 of the second cylinder body 110; a reflux section 132, surrounding the converging section 131 and surrounded by the second cylinder body 110; wherein, the upper surface of the reflux section 132 is inclined downwards from one side of the second cylinder body 110 to one side of the converging section 131. In this way, the splashed water droplets are converged and drained to the converging section 131 through the reflux section 132, and the dirty water is collected through the converging section 131. In the case of untimely discharge, a certain amount of dirty water can be retained.

[0085] Optionally, the upper surface of the reflux section 132 at the connection with the converging section 131 is higher than or equal to the upper surface of the converging section 131. In this way, it helps to drain and converge the dirty water. For example, when the upper surface of the reflux section 132 at the connection with the converging section 131 is higher than the upper surface of the converging section 131, the converging section 131 will not occupy the space of the reflux section 132 when retaining a certain amount of dirty water; when the upper surface of the reflux section 132 at the connection with the converging section 131 is equal to the upper surface of the converging section 131, that is, the upper surface of the reflux section 132 at the connection with the converging section 131 and the upper surface of the converging section 131 are in the same plane, in this way, it helps to avoid the generation of water flow noise when the dirty water flows from the reflux section 132 to the converging section 131.

[0086] Optionally, the return section 132 of the first connection part 130 includes a plurality of diversion grooves 133 arranged in a row; wherein, the bottom surface of the diversion groove 133 is higher than or equal to the upper surface of the collection section 131. In this way, the splashed water droplets can be converged and diverted to the collection section 131 through the diversion grooves 133. For example, when the bottom surface of the diversion groove 133 is higher than the upper surface of the collection section 131, the collection section 131 will not occupy the space of the return section 132 when retaining a certain amount of dirty water; when the bottom surface of the diversion groove 133 is equal to the upper surface of the collection section 131, that is, the bottom surface of the diversion groove 133 and the upper surface of the collection section 131 are on the same plane, this helps to avoid the generation of water flow noise when the dirty water flows from the diversion groove 133 to the collection section 131.

[0087] Optionally, the diversion groove 133 slopes downward from one side of the second cylinder 110 to the collection section 131. In this way, it helps to converge and divert the splashed water droplets.

[0088] Optionally, the plurality of diversion grooves 133 extend radially and are arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, and all are arranged towards the axis of the first connection part 130. In this way, the splashed water droplets are converged and diverted through the diversion grooves 133.

[0089] Optionally, the top end of the diversion groove 133 is close to or in contact with the side wall of the second cylinder 110. In this way, when the top end of the diversion groove 133 is in contact with the side wall of the second cylinder 110, the water droplets on the side wall of the second cylinder 110 can be better converged and diverted; when the top end of the diversion groove 133 is close to the side wall of the second cylinder 110, it is convenient to connect the first connection part 130 with the second cylinder 110 and prevent cracks from occurring at the connection due to the accumulation of dirty water.

[0090] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 , the water purification module further includes a waterproof cover 600 and / or an air outlet cover 700. The waterproof cover 600 and the air outlet cover 700 are arranged on the first air outlet 102. The waterproof cover 600 is provided with a plurality of zigzag channels 632, and the plurality of zigzag channels 632 are arranged in a ring shape; the air outlet cover 700 is provided with a plurality of air outlet channels 732, and the plurality of air outlet channels 732 are arranged in a ring shape. Through the arrangement of the zigzag channels 632, the waterproof cover 600 can intercept some of the water vapor or water molecule clusters carried in the purified air and flow back into the purification cavity 100 under the action of gravity, thereby effectively reducing the water content in the outflowing air flow. The air outlet cover 700 guides the purified air flowing out of the purification cavity 100 and reduces the flow rate of the purified air, thereby achieving a more stable air outlet effect.

[0091] Optionally, the air outlet cover 700 is on the lower side and the waterproof cover 600 is on the upper side.

[0092] Figure 11It is a schematic structural view of a waterproof cover for a water purification module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 12 It is a cross-sectional view of a waterproof cover for a water purification module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure; Figure 13 It is provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure Figure 12 Partial enlarged view of

[0093] Combined with Figures 11 to 13 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a waterproof cover for a water purification module, including a first central cover plate 610, a first annular cover plate 620, and a first annular connection part 630. The first annular cover plate 620 is coaxial with the first central cover plate 610; the first annular connection part 630 connects the first central cover plate 610 and the first annular cover plate 620, and includes a plurality of inclined gratings 631 arranged in a row, and a zigzag channel 632 is formed between adjacent inclined gratings 631.

[0094] By using the waterproof cover for a water purification module provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, a zigzag channel is formed between adjacent inclined gratings connecting the first central cover plate and the first annular cover plate. Water vapor or water molecule clusters contained in the air flow passing through this channel are intercepted during the flowing process, and flow downward along the grating wall under the action of gravity, thereby effectively reducing the amount of liquid droplets in the air flow flowing out through the waterproof cover.

[0095] Figure 14 It is a schematic structural view of an air outlet cover for a water purification module provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure. Combined with Figure 14 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air outlet cover for a water purification module, including a second central cover plate 710, a second annular cover plate 720, and a second annular connection part 730. The second annular cover plate 720 is coaxially arranged with the second central cover plate 710; the second annular connection part 730 connects the second central cover plate 710 and the second annular cover plate 720, and includes a plurality of air outlets arranged along the circumferential direction; a grating 731 is provided at the air outlet; an air outlet channel 732 is formed between adjacent gratings 731.

[0096] Optionally, the second annular connection part 730 is provided with a plurality of air outlets along the circumferential direction, the air outlets are provided with a plurality of gratings 731, and an air outlet channel is formed between adjacent gratings 731. In this way, air can flow smoothly from one side of the air outlet cover to the other side along the air outlet channel 732.

[0097] By using the air outlet cover for a water purification module provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the air blown out along the purification cavity can be dispersed through the gratings provided at the air outlets, and the air flow rate can be effectively reduced, thereby achieving a more stable air outlet effect.

[0098] In some embodiments, the second annular connection portion 730 is inclined upward from one side of the second annular cover plate 720 to one side of the second central cover plate 710. An included angle is formed between the second annular connection portion 730 and the second central cover plate 710. In this way, the air blown out along the purification chamber can be dispersed, and the direction of air flow can be changed, effectively reducing the air flow rate and achieving a stable air outlet effect.

[0099] Optionally, as shown in combination with Figure 4 , Figure 15 and Figure 16 , the air outlet air path includes: a blower housing 510, which is arranged above the second cylinder 110 and communicated with the second cylinder 110, and an air outlet is provided on the side wall; a centrifugal blower 550, which is arranged in the blower housing 510 and is configured to suck air flow from the air inlet, flow through the air inlet air path and the purification air path, and then discharge it from the air outlet. In this way, the clean air is discharged from the air outlet of the blower housing 510 through the centrifugal blower 550. The air outlet is arranged on the side wall of the blower housing 510, which is convenient for air supply. The blower housing 510 is arranged above the second cylinder 110. During the upward flow of the air flow, it helps the air flow to separate from the water droplets, further reducing the water droplet content in the purified air and avoiding increasing the humidity of the indoor space.

[0100] Optionally, the air outlet of the blower housing 510 includes: a first-direction air outlet 511, which is arranged at a first position on the side wall of the blower housing 510 and is provided with a plurality of rotatable first grilles 520, and is configured to discharge the purified air to the external environment, as shown in Figure 4 . In this way, the air flow rate of the first-direction air outlet 511 is controlled through the rotatable first grilles 520, improving comfort.

[0101] The first position is located on the front side of the blower housing 510. Herein, "the front side of the blower housing 510" can be understood as: the side facing the user. In this way, it helps the centrifugal blower 550 to directly blow the purified air towards the user, enabling the user to obtain a better experience.

[0102] Optionally, the air outlet of the blower housing 510 further includes: a second-direction air outlet 512 and a second-direction air outlet channel 540. The second-direction air outlet 512 is arranged at a second position on the side wall of the blower housing 510 and is configured to discharge the purified air to the air inlet side of the heat exchanger; wherein, the second position of the blower housing 510 is arranged opposite to the first position of the blower housing 510, as shown in Figure 15 . In this way, it helps to improve the quality of the air discharged after passing through the heat exchanger. The first position and the second position are arranged opposite to each other, and when the first-direction air outlet 511 and the second-direction air outlet 512 blow air simultaneously, they do not interfere with each other.

[0103] In some embodiments, the blower housing for the water purification module further includes a second air inlet 513, which is disposed on the bottom wall of the housing body and is configured to suck the air purified in the purification chamber. Optionally, the second air inlet 513 is connected to the air outlet of the water purification module. This can ensure that the air purified by the water purification module is directly sent into the room or the air inlet side of the indoor heat exchanger through the blower.

[0104] There are two control modes and two air ducts for the air purified by water purification. One is that the purified air passes through the front housing of the blower and then blows out through the front panel; the other is that it passes through the rear housing of the blower, blows upward through the air duct to the heat exchanger, and after being condensed by the heat exchanger, it returns to the purification chamber 100 of the water purification again. This reduces the frequency of user water replacement and avoids excessive water vapor flowing into the room, realizing the control of indoor humidity. Or, according to different indoor humidity requirements, the air after water washing controls the flow of the purified air. One is to blow out directly, and the other is to enter the heat exchanger through the air duct. After the dehumidification function of the heat exchanger, the condensed water flows back to the water washing and purification module.

[0105] In summary, the water purification module provided by the present application realizes the three-degree adjustment of the temperature, humidity and cleanliness of the air by washing the air with water; realizes "consumable-free" purification, pure ecological environmental protection and enjoyment of fresh air after rain through the technology of washing air with water; and generates ecological negative ions beneficial to the human body by simulating natural phenomena.

[0106] In some optional embodiments, the water delivery assembly includes a water purification assembly, a water inlet waterway and a water return waterway.

[0107] Combined Figures 17 to 26 As shown, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a water purification assembly for a water purification module, including a purification chamber 100 and an opposing spray member 200. The opposing spray member 200 is disposed in the purification chamber 100; the opposing spray member 200 can make the water flow spray oppositely and form water mist or water droplets in the purification chamber 100 after the water flow collides.

[0108] In the water purification assembly for the water purification module provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the opposing spray member 200 uses the collision of the oppositely sprayed water flows to generate water mist or water droplets. The water mist or water droplets fill the entire purification chamber 100 and can completely cover the cross-section of the air flow path, comprehensively washing and purifying the air flowing through the purification chamber 100. Moreover, the atomization effect of the water mist or water droplets generated by the opposing spray member is better, the water droplet particle size is smaller and more uniform, achieving a better water washing and purification effect.

[0109] The spray member 200 includes a spray head and a water inlet. The spray head of the spray member 200 is in communication with the water inlet of the spray member. The spray head is located inside the purification chamber 100 and is used to spray water into the purification chamber 100. The water outlet of the water inlet passage is in communication with the water inlet of the spray member. The water inlet of the water return passage is in communication with the purification chamber 100 and is used to discharge the water flow in the purification chamber 100 out of the purification chamber 100.

[0110] In some embodiments, in combination with Figures 23 to 26 As shown, the spray head of the spray member 200 includes a first spray head 210 and a second spray head 220. The first spray head 210 includes a first nozzle 211, and the second spray head 220 includes a second nozzle 221. The second nozzle 221 is disposed opposite to the first nozzle 211; a baffle is provided on the first spray head 210 and / or the second spray head 220. The spray member uses the collision of the water flows ejected from the two opposite spray heads to generate water mist or water droplets. The water mist or water droplets fill the purification chamber 100, and the air flow passing through the purification chamber 100 is washed and purified. The setting of the baffle can help the spray member 200 form a better water mist effect, form smaller droplets, and fill the entire interior of the purification chamber 100, so that the air passing through the purification chamber 100 can fully contact with water to achieve the effect of washing and purification.

[0111] In some embodiments, the baffle includes a first baffle 230 and / or a second baffle 240. The first baffle 230 is disposed on the circumference of the first nozzle 211 or the second nozzle 221; the second baffle 240 is disposed at a position on the back of the first nozzle 211 or the second nozzle 221.

[0112] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first baffle 230 is disposed on the circumference of the nozzle (the first nozzle 211 or the second nozzle 221), so that the water ejected from the opposite nozzle impacts on the first baffle 230, improving the water mist effect. The second baffle 240 is disposed at a position on the side of the spray head opposite to the spraying direction (i.e., the back position), providing a protective effect on the water flow ejected from the spraying position and avoiding the influence of the external environment on the water flow. For example, when the spray member 200 is on the air flow path of the purification chamber 100, the air flow will cause the sprayed water flow to deviate, resulting in a poor impact effect of the relatively sprayed water flows, affecting the formation of the water mist, and also causing the formed water mist or water droplets to shift to the air outlet side, further affecting the formation of the water mist, and ultimately reducing the purification effect.

[0113] Optionally, the second baffle 240 is disposed on the first spray head 210 or the second spray head 220 on the windward side and is located between the incoming air and the first nozzle 211 or the second nozzle 221 on the windward side, so as to provide a good protective effect for the first nozzle 211 and the second nozzle 221 of the spray member 200.

[0114] The spray member in the embodiments of the present disclosure has at least the following three structures. The first type of spray member, in combination withFigure 23 As shown, a first baffle 230 is provided both in the circumferential direction of the first nozzle 211 and in the circumferential direction of the second nozzle 221. For the second type of spray member, in combination with Figure 25 As shown, a second baffle 240 is provided at the position facing away from the first spray head 210 or the second spray head 220 on the windward side. For the third type of spray member, in combination with Figure 27 As shown, a first baffle 230 is provided both in the circumferential direction of the first nozzle 211 and in the circumferential direction of the second nozzle 221, and a second baffle 240 is provided at the position facing away from the first spray head 210 on the windward side. Just select the appropriate spray member 200 according to actual needs.

[0115] Optionally, an atomization sandwich layer 232 is formed between the first baffle 230 on the first spray head 210 and the first baffle 230 on the second spray head 220. The atomization sandwich layer 232 can cause the collided water droplets to collide again.

[0116] Optionally, mounting holes 104 are provided on the cavity wall of the purification cavity 100. For example, the mounting holes 104 are integrally formed on the cavity wall of the purification cavity 100, and the mounting holes 104 can be regarded as through holes. Providing mounting holes on the cavity wall of the purification cavity facilitates the installation and fixation of the spray member.

[0117] Optionally, in combination with Figure 27 As shown, the water purification module includes a water tank 310, and the water tank 310 is arranged on the air delivery assembly.

[0118] Optionally, the water purification module includes a water supply pipe member 320. The water supply pipe member 320 is arranged on the air delivery assembly. The water supply pipe member 320 defines a water flow channel 323, and the water flow channel 323 communicates between the water tank 310 and the circulation channel 322.

[0119] The water supply pipe member 320 is used to connect the water tank 310 and the circulation channel 322. The water in the water tank 310 flows into the circulation channel 322 through the water flow channel 323, flows into the water inlet of the water inlet channel through the circulation channel 322, and flows into the water inlet of the spray member 200 through the water outlet of the water inlet channel, then flows to the spray head and is sprayed into the purification cavity 100 through the spray head.

[0120] Optionally, the water tank 310 is slidably connected to the air delivery assembly. Among them, a slider is provided on one of the water tank 310 and the air delivery assembly, and a sliding groove 315 is provided on the other. The slider is located in the sliding groove 315 and can slide relative to the sliding groove 315.

[0121] The water tank 310 is slidably connected to the air delivery assembly, so that the water tank 310 can be installed on the air delivery assembly or removed from the air delivery assembly by pulling the water tank 310, which improves the convenience for the user to take the water tank 310 for water change and load the water tank 310.

[0122] In combination withFigure 28 As shown, the air delivery assembly includes a plug-in portion 321. The plug-in portion 321 is connected to the purification chamber 100. A flow channel 322 is provided in the plug-in portion 321, and the flow channel 322 is communicated between the water tank 310 and the water inlet of the water inlet passage.

[0123] Combined with Figure 1 As shown, a communication channel 900 is formed by the gap between the water tank 310 and the air delivery assembly. The air inlet 103 is communicated with the outside through the communication channel 900. The purification portion is located above the plug-in portion 321, and the purification chamber 100 is located above the flow channel 322. After the outside air enters the air inlet 103 from the communication channel 900, it flows into the flow channel 322, and the air flows upward into the purification chamber 100. The spraying member 200 is located in the purification chamber 100. The water sprayed from the spraying member 200 forms a water washing environment in the purification chamber 100 to wash the air entering the purification chamber 100.

[0124] The purification chamber 100 is located above the flow channel 322. The air from the flow channel 322 flows upward into the purification chamber 100, and the water sprayed by the spraying member 200 flows downward, thereby increasing the contact area between the water and the air and enhancing the water washing effect on the air.

[0125] The air inlet 103 is communicated with the outside through the communication channel 900, avoiding the need to separately provide a communication channel 900 on the air delivery assembly, simplifying the structure of the air delivery assembly and reducing the cost of the air delivery assembly.

[0126] Optionally, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 27 As shown, the plug-in portion 321 is connected to the purification portion. An installation notch 314 is provided on the water tank 310, and at least a part of the plug-in portion 321 is located in the installation notch 314.

[0127] The installation notch 314 is provided to avoid interference between the water tank 310 and the plug-in portion 321 and realize the installation of the water tank 310 on the air delivery assembly. The direction in which the plug-in portion 321 is inserted into the installation notch 314 is on the same straight line as or parallel to the movement direction of the slider relative to the sliding groove 315. In this way, during the sliding process of the slider relative to the sliding groove 315, the plug-in portion 321 is inserted into the installation notch 314.

[0128] The gap between the water tank 310 and the purification portion forms the communication channel 900. The air inlet 103 is located at one end of the plug-in portion 321 close to the purification portion, improving the compactness of the water purification module structure. Combined with Figure 3 As shown, the gap between the upper surface of the water tank 310 and the purification portion forms the communication channel 900, and the air inlet 103 is provided at the upper end of the plug-in portion 321.

[0129] Combined with Figures 20 to 22As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a water collection component for a water purification module, including a water retaining edge 410 and a drainage pipe 420. The water retaining edge 410 is disposed at the water outlet of the purification chamber 100, defining a return water collection area; the drainage pipe 420 is disposed below the water outlet of the purification chamber 100, with the first end 421 communicating with the return water collection area and the second end capable of discharging water.

[0130] Optionally, a bent portion 411 is provided on the water retaining edge 410. When the water retaining edge 410 is disposed at the water outlet (i.e., the first air inlet 101) of the purification chamber 100, a communication hole is formed by the concave side of the bent portion 411 and the edge of the water outlet (i.e., the first air inlet 101); the first end 421 of the drainage pipe 420 is connected to the communication hole.

[0131] For the water collection component 400 of the embodiment of the present disclosure, first, the return water in the purification chamber 100 is collected and then drained through the drainage pipe 420, and the water after purifying the air is collected by reflux, avoiding returning to the water tank for holding purified water again, ensuring that the water entering the spray member is clean water, not causing secondary pollution, and ensuring the purification effect. Also, it is not necessary to filter the water entering the spray member, reducing the setting of the filtering device, and thus there is no need to clean or replace the filtering device regularly, without secondary consumption, reducing costs. Moreover, the noise generated when the return water flows down along the edge of the water outlet of the purification chamber 100 is reduced. At the same time, when the water outlet of the purification chamber 100 coincides with the air inlet, the setting of the water retaining edge 410 can avoid the frontal collision between the return water and the incoming air, reducing the air resistance, and also avoiding impurities and microorganisms in the incoming air being carried into the return water again, improving the purification effect.

[0132] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the second end 422 of the drainage pipe 420 discharges water, which can be directly discharged to the outside or discharged into the internally provided water collection tank 430. It can be determined according to the actual situation.

[0133] In some embodiments, the water collection component 400 further includes a water collection tank 430. The water collection tank 430 is disposed below the purification chamber 100; and is in communication with the second end 422 of the drainage pipe 420. The return water after purification treatment is drained into the water collection tank 430 for convenient centralized treatment.

[0134] Optionally, as shown in combination Figure 22 The water collection tank 430 can be in communication with the drainage pipeline 840 of an external air conditioner. The external air conditioner can be an air conditioner, for example, a cabinet air conditioner. The water in the water collection tank 430 is discharged through the drainage pipeline 840 of the external air conditioner, avoiding the disassembly of the water collection tank 430 and facilitating drainage.

[0135] Optionally, the water supply fitting 320 is disposed on the top cover of the water collection assembly 400. The water supply fitting 320 is disposed on the top cover of the water collection assembly 400, which improves the compactness of the purification module structure, reduces the occupied space of the purification module, and improves the utilization rate of space.

[0136] Optionally, the water purification module further includes a water pump 330. The water inlet path includes a water supply pipe 340. The water pump 330 is disposed on the water supply pipe 340 and is used to convey the water in the water supply pipe 340 to the water inlet of the counter-jet member.

[0137] The water pump 330 provides water with a certain pressure to the counter-jet member 200, so that the water can continuously flow from the water tank 310 into the purification chamber 100. The water in the water tank 310 enters the water supply pipe 340 through the water flow channel 323, the circulation channel 322, and the communication hole 325. Driven by the water pump 330, the water in the water supply pipe 340 flows into the water inlet of the counter-jet member. The communication hole 325 and the water supply fitting 320 are located on opposite sides of the insertion portion 321, making the layout of the components of the water purification module more reasonable and occupying less volume.

[0138] Optionally, the purification chamber 100, the insertion portion 321, the water collection assembly 400, and the water supply fitting 320 are fixedly connected, for example, they are of an integral structure.

[0139] Combined with Figures 29 to 34 As shown in the figure, another embodiment of the present disclosure provides another water purification module, which includes a housing 91, a water inlet path 93, and a purification structure 92.

[0140] The housing 91 defines an installation space 911. The housing 91 is provided with a flow outlet 913 and an inlet 912. Both the flow outlet 913 and the inlet 912 are communicated with the installation space 911.

[0141] Combined with Figure 31 As shown in the figure, the purification structure 92 is located in the installation space 911. At least part of the surface of the purification structure 92 has a concavo-convex structure 9213. The concavo-convex structure 9213 is located on the flow path of the air flowing from the inlet 912 to the flow outlet 913 and corresponds to the water outlet of the water inlet path 93, so that the water flowing out of the water outlet can flow to the concavo-convex structure 9213.

[0142] The concave-convex structure 9213 corresponds to the water outlet of the water inlet channel 93, so that the water flowing out from the water outlet of the water inlet channel 93 can flow to the concave-convex structure 9213. Affected by the concave-convex structure 9213, the water flow does not flow in a straight line on the concave-convex structure 9213, but is in a turbulent flow state. The concave-convex structure 9213 is located on the flow path of the air flowing from the air inlet 912 to the air outlet 913. Therefore, the air flowing into the installation space 911 from the air inlet 912 passes through the concave-convex structure 9213 and then flows out of the installation space 911 from the air outlet 913. When the air flows to the concave-convex structure 9213, the air is also affected by the concave-convex structure 9213 and is in a turbulent flow state on the concave-convex structure 9213. Thus, the water in the turbulent state can fully contact the air in the turbulent state, and then wash the air. Dust and the like in the air are dissolved in the water, improving the cleanliness of the air.

[0143] Optionally, as shown in combination with Figure 31 、 Figure 33 and Figure 34 , the purification structure 92 includes a plurality of purification sheets 921, and the plurality of purification sheets 921 are sequentially arranged in the direction from the inside to the outside. A flow channel 9241 communicating with both the air inlet 912 and the air outlet 913 is defined between two adjacent purification sheets 921, and the concave-convex structure 9213 is located on the outer surface and / or the inner surface of the purification sheet 921.

[0144] The air entering from the air inlet 912 flows through the flow channel 9241 to the air outlet 913. When the air flows through the flow channel 9241, it passes through the concave-convex structure 9213 and forms a turbulent flow state. The water is also in a turbulent flow state when passing through the concave-convex structure 9213, realizing the purification of the air by the water flow.

[0145] A plurality of purification sheets 921 are provided, and the concave-convex structure 9213 is provided on at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface of the purification sheet 921, so that the area of the concave-convex structure 9213 can be increased, the contact area between the water flow and the air can be increased, and the cleaning effect of the water flow on the air can be enhanced. As shown in combination with Figure 31 , the concave-convex structure is provided on the outer surface of the purification sheet.

[0146] Optionally, as shown in combination with Figure 34 , the purification sheet 921 is in a ring shape extending along the circumferential direction of the purification structure 92.

[0147] The plurality of purification sheets 921 are in a ring shape, and along the direction from the inside to the outside, the outer layer of purification sheet 921 is sleeved outside the inner layer of purification sheet 921. The ring-shaped purification sheet 921 can increase the area of the ring, thereby increasing the area of the concave-convex structure 9213 and enhancing the purification effect of the water flow on the air.

[0148] The air inlet 912 is annular and is arranged along the circumferential direction of the housing 91. A grille is provided inside the air inlet 912. By setting the annular air inlet 912, the area of the air inlet 912 can be increased, and the air intake volume per unit time can be increased.

[0149] Alternatively, the number of the air inlets 912 is multiple, and the multiple air inlets 912 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the housing 91. By setting multiple air inlets 912, the area of the air inlets 912 can be increased, and the air intake volume per unit time can be increased.

[0150] Optionally, along the top-down direction, the outer surface and / or the inner surface of the purification sheet 921 incline outwards to form an inclined surface 9212, and the concavo-convex structure 9213 is arranged on the inclined surface 9212.

[0151] The water outlet of the water inlet channel 93 is located above the concavo-convex structure 9213. In this way, after the water flowing out from the water outlet of the water inlet channel 93 flows to the concavo-convex structure 9213, under the action of the gravity of the water flow and the adhesion force of the purification sheet 921, it flows down along the purification sheet 921. During the downward flow process, affected by the concavo-convex structure 9213, the water does not flow straight down, but flows down turbulently.

[0152] The air inlet 9242 of the flow channel is located below the concavo-convex structure 9213. The air entering through the air inlet 912 enters the flow channel 9241 through the air inlet of the flow channel. Since the air inlet is located above the concavo-convex structure 9213, the air moves upward along the purification sheet 921 and is affected by the concavo-convex structure 9213 when passing through the concavo-convex structure 9213, forming a turbulent state.

[0153] The water flow flows downward as a whole along the concavo-convex structure 9213, and the air flows upward as a whole along the concavo-convex structure 9213. In other words, on the concavo-convex structure 9213, the flowing directions of the water flow and the air are opposite, so that the water flow and the air are in full contact, enhancing the cleaning effect of the water flow on the air.

[0154] The concavo-convex structure 9213 is arranged on the inclined surface 9212, so that the concavo-convex structure 9213 is also in an inclined state. On the premise that both the air and the water flow can form a turbulent state, the flow path length of the air and the water flow on the concavo-convex structure 9213 is enhanced, further enabling the air and the water flow to be in full contact and enhancing the purification effect of the water flow on the air.

[0155] Combined Figure 34 As shown, the purification sheet 921 further includes a vertical surface 9211, the vertical surface 9211 is arranged along the vertical direction, and the upper end of the vertical surface 9211 is connected to the lower end of the inclined surface 9212.

[0156] Optionally, the outermost purification sheet 921 (the outermost purification sheet combined Figure 31As shown in D in the figure, it abuts against the inner wall surface of the housing 91. The inlet 912 and the outlet 913 are respectively located on both sides of the abutting position of the outermost purification sheet 921 and the inner wall surface of the housing 91. Combining Figure 34 As shown, the inlet 912 is located below the abutting position of the outermost purification sheet 921 and the inner wall surface of the housing 91, and the outlet 913 is located above the abutting position of the outermost purification sheet 921 and the inner wall surface of the housing 91.

[0157] The outermost purification sheet 921 abuts against the housing 91, thereby reducing the gap between the outermost housing 91 and the housing 91, and preventing the airflow in the inlet 912 from directly flowing to the outlet 913 through the gap between the purification sheet 921 and the inner wall surface of the housing 91 without passing through the flow channel 9241. Optionally, a seal is provided at the abutting position of the outermost purification sheet 921 and the inner wall surface of the housing 91 to further enhance the sealing performance between the outermost purification sheet 921 and the inner wall surface of the housing 91. The specific manner in which the outermost purification sheet 921 abuts against the housing 91 may be that the inner wall surface of the housing protrudes inward to form a first protrusion, and the first protrusion abuts against the outermost purification sheet, or the outermost purification sheet protrudes outward to form a second protrusion, and the second protrusion abuts against the inner wall surface of the housing.

[0158] Optionally, combining Figure 31 As shown, the water inlet channel 93 is arranged inside the innermost purification sheet 921 (the innermost purification sheet is combined with Figure 31 as shown in C in the figure), and the water inlet of the water inlet channel 93 is communicated with the bottom of the installation space 911. The bottom of the installation space is combined with Figure 31 as shown in B in the figure.

[0159] A water inlet pipe is provided in the middle of the innermost purification sheet 921, and the water inlet channel 93 includes the water inlet pipe, or a flow channel is provided in the middle of the innermost purification sheet 921, and the water inlet channel 93 includes the flow channel. The inlet water flow is arranged inside the innermost purification sheet 921. In this way, when the water flow flows into the water inlet channel 93 through the water inlet of the water inlet channel 93 and flows out from the water outlet of the water inlet channel 93, the water flow can reach each concave-convex structure 9213 from the inside to the outside.

[0160] The water is located at the bottom of the installation space 911. The water inlet of the water inlet channel 93 is communicated with the bottom of the installation space 911. The water at the bottom of the installation space 911 flows through the water inlet channel 93 to the concave-convex structure 9213. After the water flow cleans the air, under the action of the gravity of the water flow, the water flow flows down along the purification sheet 921 and then flows to the bottom of the installation space 911.

[0161] Optionally, the inlet 912 is located above the water at the bottom of the installation space 911 to prevent the water at the bottom of the installation space 911 from flowing out of the installation space 911 through the inlet 912.

[0162] Optionally, in combination with Figure 31 As shown, the purification structure 92 further includes a connection structure 96. The connection structure 96 is connected to a plurality of purification sheets 921. A communication hole is provided on the connection structure 96. The flow channel 9241 is communicated with the flow outlet 913 through the communication hole.

[0163] The connection structure 96 realizes the connection between the plurality of purification sheets 921, enhancing the structural stability of the purification structure 92. Optionally, the connection structure 96 is fixedly connected to the plurality of purification sheets 921. For example, the connection structure 96 is welded or screwed to the plurality of purification sheets 921.

[0164] After the air flow in the inlet 912 flows through the flow channel 9241, it flows from the communication hole to the flow outlet 913, realizing air circulation. Optionally, in combination with Figure 29 As shown, the number of the flow outlets is multiple, and the multiple flow outlets are circumferentially distributed along the housing, and the flow outlets are arranged corresponding to the concave-convex structure. In combination with Figure 31 As shown, the flow outlet is located directly above the concave-convex structure.

[0165] Optionally, the water purification module further includes a water pump 94 and a blower 95.

[0166] In combination with Figure 31 As shown, the water pump 94 is arranged on the water inlet channel 93. The water pump 94 drives the water at the bottom of the installation space 911 to flow into the water inlet channel 93 and drives the water flow in the water inlet channel 93 to flow towards the water outlet, and then flows from the water outlet to the concave-convex structure 9213, realizing the water flow from the bottom of the installation space 911 to the concave-convex structure 9213. Optionally, the water pump 94 is located at the bottom of the installation space 911, improving the structural compactness of the water purification module.

[0167] In combination with Figure 31 As shown, the blower 95 is located between the purification structure 92 and the flow outlet 913, and is used to discharge air to the flow outlet 913.

[0168] The blower 95 provides a driving force for the air to flow from the inlet 912 to the flow outlet 913, realizing the air flow in the installation space 911. Optionally, the blower 95 is located between the purification sheet 921 and the concave-convex structure 9213.

[0169] Optionally, the concave-convex structure 9213 is corrugated. The corrugated concave-convex structure 9213 is easy to process and can make the air and water flow passing through the corrugated structure in a turbulent state.

[0170] It can be understood that the concave-convex structure 9213 may not be corrugated, for example, it may be serrated.

[0171] An embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner main body and one or more water purification modules. In this embodiment, the air conditioner main body mainly refers to the indoor unit of the air conditioner, which includes a housing 810, an electric control component disposed inside the housing 810, a heat exchanger 850, a blower, a refrigerant pipeline, and other components; the water purification module is one or more of the water purification modules shown in the above-mentioned embodiments, which is disposed in the air conditioner main body and can cooperate with the air conditioner main body to perform purification work when the air conditioner main body is in various working modes such as air supply, refrigeration, heating, and dehumidification, or it can also operate independently to perform purification work.

[0172] Combined with Figures 35 to 39 As shown, a third air inlet 811 and a third air outlet 812 are provided on the peripheral side of the housing 810; the water purification module is disposed inside the housing 810, and air flows into the housing 810 from the third air inlet 811, passes through the inside of the water purification module, and flows out of the housing 810 from the third air outlet 812.

[0173] By adopting the above embodiment, the air flow in the air is discharged after being washed and purified by the water purification module in the housing 810, improving the air quality of the indoor environment and obtaining a better purification effect.

[0174] The third air inlet 811 of the housing 810 is communicated with the third air inlet 811 of the water purification module, and the third air outlet 812 is communicated with the third air outlet 812 of the water purification module, so as to realize the circulation of air between the housing 810 and the water purification module.

[0175] Optionally, the third air inlet 811 is located at the lower part of the water purification module, and the third air outlet 812 is located at the upper part of the water purification module. In this way, better air circulation can be achieved. Due to the gravity, the impurities in the air sink, so the air quality in the lower and middle part of the room is worse than that in the upper part. By having the third air inlet 811 at the lower part of the water purification module and the third air outlet 812 at the upper part of the water purification module, the air with relatively poor quality enters from the third air inlet 811, is washed and purified by the water purification module, and is discharged into the room from the third air outlet 812, obtaining clean air; by fully circulating and purifying the indoor air through the air conditioner, the indoor air quality is improved.

[0176] Optionally, combined with Figure 35 As shown, the water purification module is located at the lower part inside the housing 810. In this way, on the one hand, it helps to fully circulate and purify the indoor air, improving the indoor air quality; on the other hand, the clean air of the water purification module can continue to be transported upward to the heat exchanger of the air conditioner, and the clean air is discharged into the room after passing through the heat exchanger, so as to obtain air with appropriate temperature and cleanliness, improving the comfort of users.

[0177] Among them, combined with Figure 37As shown, the heat exchanger 850 is located above the water purification module. In this way, through the vertical arrangement of the water purification module and the heat exchanger 850, it helps to save the floor area of the air conditioner.

[0178] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes: a frame 860 disposed inside the housing 810, including a purification space 801 surrounded by a bottom plate 861, a first side plate 862, a second side plate 863, a back plate 864, and a top plate 865; the purification space 801 is configured to place the water purification module. In this way, by installing the water purification module through the frame 860, its stability is improved, and vibration and noise generated during water washing and purification are prevented.

[0179] Optionally, a certain distance is preset between the bottom of the purification space 801 and the frame 860. In this way, it helps the indoor air to enter the air conditioner for water washing and purification.

[0180] Optionally, the first side plate 862 and the second side plate 863 are symmetrically disposed on the frame 860 and are detachably connected to the frame 860. The first side plate 862, the back plate 864, and the second side plate 863 are arranged in sequence and surround the bottom plate 861, and are all connected to the bottom plate 861. The water purification module is located on the bottom plate 861.

[0181] Optionally, the bottom plate 861 is provided with a reinforcing rib structure. In this way, the bearing capacity of the bottom plate 861 can be improved, and it can better play a load-bearing role. Among them, the reinforcing rib structure includes a plurality of plate ribs, and the plurality of plate ribs are spaced apart on the lower surface of the bottom plate 861. The reinforcing rib structure further includes a concave groove 8610 recessed downward from the upper surface of the bottom plate 861, as Figure 36 shown. In this way, on the one hand, the concave groove plays a strengthening role, and on the other hand, when the water purification module vibrates during water washing and purification, the concave groove can also absorb and reduce the noise generated by the vibration.

[0182] Combined Figure 40 and Figure 41 shown, the purification space 801 formed inside the housing 810 can play a role in protecting the water purification module to a certain extent. The rigid housing 810 can reduce or avoid the collision of external objects with the water purification module, thus effectively ensuring the service life of the water purification module.

[0183] Here, the shape design of the purification space 801 is adapted to the outer contour shape of the water purification module. Optionally, the overall outer contour of the water purification module is approximately cylindrical, and correspondingly, the purification space 801 can be designed as a cylindrical shape. In the embodiment, the overall size of the purification space 801 is larger than the size of the outer contour of the water purification module to facilitate the assembly of the water purification module and the purification space 801.

[0184] Optionally, for cabinet air conditioner models, functional components such as heat exchangers and fans are mainly arranged in the upper-middle position of the air conditioner body. Therefore, in order to reduce the excessive modification of the component space layout of the cabinet air conditioner by adding the purification space 801, in this embodiment, the purification space 801 is arranged at the lower part of the cabinet air conditioner.

[0185] In order to enable users to more intuitively view the working state of the water purification module in the purification space 801, in some optional embodiments, a window is opened at the part of the casing 810 corresponding to the purification space 801. The window is located on the circumferential side of the purification space 801, so that users can see the working state of the water purification module inside the purification space 801 from the side through this window.

[0186] In this embodiment, the window includes a window opening 821 and a window cover plate 822; the window opening 821 is an opening formed on the casing 810. The cabinet air conditioner in this embodiment is approximately cylindrical, and the circumferential length of the window opening 821 can be set to 1 / 6 to 1 / 4 of the circumference of the cylindrical circle, so that the opening of the window opening 821 will not have too much impact on the overall pressure-bearing capacity of the casing 810; the window cover plate 822 covers the window opening 821, which can play a role in closing the window opening 821 and blocking dust and other pollutants in the external environment from entering the purification space 801 through the window opening 821 to ensure the cleanliness of the internal environment of the purification space 801.

[0187] Optionally, the shape of the window opening 821 includes but is not limited to square, rectangular, circular, triangular or diamond-shaped, and the window opening 821 can be set to other regular or irregular shapes according to actual needs.

[0188] Optionally, the window cover plate 822 is made of transparent or semi-transparent materials such as glass, transparent plastic, etc., so that users can normally view the internal condition of the purification space 801 through the window cover plate 822.

[0189] In some optional embodiments, the window cover plate 822 is arranged to be openable and closable relative to the window opening 821. Therefore, users can choose to open or close the window opening 821 by operating the window cover plate 822 to facilitate operations such as cleaning the purification space 801 and taking in and out the water washing module.

[0190] Optionally, the window cover plate 822 and the window opening 821 are fixed by a structure in which a clamping protrusion and a clamping groove cooperate. Here, one or more clamping protrusions are arranged on the outer peripheral edge of the window cover plate 822, and one or more clamping grooves are arranged at the positions corresponding to the clamping protrusions on the outer peripheral edge of the window opening 821. When the window cover plate 822 is assembled by covering the window opening 821, each clamping protrusion is inserted into the corresponding clamping groove, and a clamping limit can be formed between the clamping groove and the clamping protrusion, so that the window cover plate 822 can be tightly fixed on the window opening 821.

[0191] Optionally, an arc-shaped groove is additionally provided on one side edge of the viewing window 821, and a part of the arc-shaped groove is not covered by the viewing window cover plate 822, so that the arc-shaped groove can be used as a structure for the user to pry the viewing window cover plate 822 to separate the viewing window cover plate 822 from the viewing window 821.

[0192] Optionally, the viewing window cover plate 822 is arranged flush with the outer wall surface of the housing 810. In the embodiment, the outer wall surface of the housing 810 is an arc surface, so the viewing window cover plate 822 is also arranged as an arc-shaped plate surface structure with a corresponding radian. After the viewing window cover plate 822 is installed flush with the outer wall surface on the viewing window 821, there is no redundant protrusion on the outer wall surface of the housing 810, and the whole is smooth and beautiful.

[0193] In the above-mentioned multiple embodiments, since the user can open the viewing window 821 by operating the viewing window cover plate 822, optionally, the viewing window cover plate 822 can also be made of a non-transparent material. When the user needs to view the working state of the water washing module, the user can operate the viewing window cover plate 822 to open the viewing window 821 to achieve this.

[0194] In some optional embodiments, the working principle of the water purification module is to adsorb and filter pollutants in the air by spraying water, so clean water needs to be continuously consumed. The water purification module is provided with a water tank, and its function is to store clean water for spraying; since there is an upper limit to the water storage capacity of the clean water in the water tank, generally the user needs to add water to the water tank regularly; to facilitate the user's water addition operation to the water tank, the diameter design of the viewing window needs to meet at least the requirement that the water tank can be moved into or out of the housing 810.

[0195] For example, the shape of the water tank in the embodiment is approximately pancake-shaped, its height is 8 cm, and its diameter is 20 cm. Correspondingly, the diameter of the viewing window can be designed to be 12 cm in height and 25 cm in width, so that both the height and width of the viewing window are greater than the height and width of the water tank, ensuring that the water tank can pass through the viewing window relatively easily.

[0196] Optionally, in order to reduce the collision between the water tank and the housing 810 during the process of moving the water tank into or out of the housing, in this embodiment, a buffer strip is also arranged along the periphery on the inner side of the viewing window, and the buffer strip can play a role in buffering and decompressing. Optionally, the buffer strip can be a cotton strip or a rubber strip.

[0197] Optionally, the frame 860 further includes: a limiting member 866, which is symmetrically arranged on the bottom plate 861 and arranged opposite to the window. Optionally, the window is arranged opposite to the back plate. In this way, the limiting member 866 prevents the water purification module from being installed in a position that does not correspond, resulting in failure to install, or the water purification module is unstable after installation, and abnormal noise occurs during use, thereby reducing the service life of the water purification module. Among them, there are at least two limiting members 866, and they are symmetrically arranged at a position near the back plate 864 of the bottom plate 861, that is, one limiting member 866 is located in the direction of the first side plate 862, and the other limiting member 866 is located in the direction of the second side plate 863, and the first side plate 862 and the second side plate 863 are symmetrically arranged.

[0198] Optionally, the upper surface of the limiting member 866 is tilted upward from the upper surface of the bottom plate 861 to the side of the back plate 864. In this way, it is helpful to prevent the water purification module from being forcibly squeezed by the limiting member 866 during installation, thereby causing unnecessary damage. For example, when the water purification module is installed, it conflicts with the limiting member 866. When the user continues to push the water purification module, the water purification module is forced to move upward along the upper surface of the limiting member 866, so that the water purification module is tilted, thereby reminding the user to adjust the position of the water purification module. Among them, the limiting member 866 can be a limiting block. The upper surface of the limiting member 866 can be an inclined surface or a curved surface.

[0199] Optionally, combined Figure 37 As shown, the back plate 864 is provided with a hollow portion 8640, and the hollow portion 8640 is configured to install the pipe fittings of the water purification module. In this way, the fixing of the pipe fittings of the water purification module and other key fixings of the air conditioner can be achieved through the hollow portion 8640. Among them, the hollow portion 8640 can be multiple, evenly arranged on the back plate 864, which is beautiful on the one hand and easy to process and manufacture on the other hand. The pipe fittings can run through the hollow portion 8640, and their movement is restricted by the back plate 864 around the hollow portion 8640. Secondly, the circulation between the water purification module and the external air can also be achieved through the hollow portion 8640. After the external air enters the housing 810, it can also enter the water purification module from the hollow portion 8640.

[0200] Optionally, combined Figure 37As shown, the first side plate 862 is provided with a first groove 8620; the second side plate 863 is provided with a second groove 8630 opposite to the first groove 8620; wherein, the first groove 8620 and the second groove 8630 define a space for installing the blower housing of the water purification module. In this way, the blower housing is installed through the space defined by the first groove 8620 and the second groove 8630, and the blower housing is embedded in the first groove 8620 and the second groove 8630. Among them, the first-direction air outlet 511 of the blower housing 510 is consistent with the window of the purification space 801. The blower housing 510 is detachably connected to the first side plate 862, the second side plate 863 and the frame 860. The first-direction air outlet 511 of the blower housing corresponds to the third air outlet 812 of the housing 810.

[0201] Optionally, the housing 810 includes: a plurality of sheet bodies 813, which are detachably connected to the frame 860. In this way, the plurality of sheet bodies 813 are arranged around the frame 860 in sequence. On the one hand, it is convenient to maintain different parts of the air conditioner; secondly, it is convenient for processing, manufacturing and installation. For example, the housing 810 is formed by connecting four sheet bodies 813 in sequence. Among them, the sheet bodies 813 can be connected by connecting pieces. One side of the sheet body 813 is connected to the connecting piece, and the other side is connected to the frame 860; the connecting piece 814 is arranged vertically, one end is detachably connected to the frame 860, and the other end is suspended.

[0202] Optionally, the air flow direction of the third air inlet 811 and the third air outlet 812 is partially or completely the same. In this way, it helps to overcome the limitation of the installation position of the air conditioner. For example, the third air inlet 811 and the third air outlet 812 intake air from the same side. The air conditioner can be installed in a corner, and clean air is radiated outward from the installation position as the origin to improve the indoor air quality. When the air flow directions of the third air inlet 811 and the third air outlet 812 are partially the same, it helps to prevent the mixing of clean air and air with impurities and reduce the purification effect.

[0203] Optionally, in combination with Figure 35 and Figure 39 As shown, the third air outlet 812 is provided with a mesh structure 8120. In this way, the mesh structure 8120 can block the water droplets carried by the output air flow, further reduce the water droplet content in the air flow, prevent the indoor air temperature from decreasing, and improve the air purification effect. Secondly, it is beautiful and easy to clean.

[0204] Optionally, the mesh structure 8120 of the third air outlet 812 can be a plurality of evenly spaced-apart mesh holes or grids. It can be integrally formed with the housing 810 or formed by stamping the housing 810.

[0205] In some optional embodiments, in combination with Figure 42 and Figure 43As shown, the air conditioner main body further includes a water receiving tray and a drainage pipe 840. Among them, the water receiving tray is generally arranged below the heat exchanger. Since the temperature of the heat exchanger is relatively low when the air conditioner operates in cooling and dehumidifying modes, a large amount of condensed water will condense on the surface of the heat exchanger. This part of the condensed water will flow downward under its own gravity and drip into the water receiving tray. The drainage pipe 840 is connected to the water receiving tray and is used to discharge the condensed water collected in the water receiving tray to the outdoor side.

[0206] In this embodiment, in order to realize the reuse of the condensed water collected in the water receiving tray, the water supply assembly 300 is provided with a condensed water inlet, which is connected to the upstream pipe section of the drainage pipe 840. In this way, when the condensed water flows through the upstream pipe section of the drainage pipe 840, at least part of the condensed water will be diverted into the water supply assembly 300. This part of the diverted condensed water can be used as a supplementary water source for the water supply assembly 300, effectively reducing the frequency of the user adding water to the water purification module and reducing the user's operation burden.

[0207] In some alternative embodiments, the condensed water inlet is connected to the upstream pipe section of the drainage pipe 840 through a three-way valve 841. Among them, the three-way valve 841 includes a valve inlet and two valve outlets (the first valve outlet and the second valve outlet), and it can switch between a first on-off state and a second on-off state. The first on-off state is that the valve inlet is connected to the first valve outlet and the second valve outlet is blocked, and the second on-off state is that the valve inlet is blocked from the first valve outlet and the second valve outlet is connected.

[0208] Here, the three-way valve 841 is connected in series to the upstream pipe section, the valve inlet and the second valve outlet are respectively connected to the upstream pipe section, and the first valve outlet is connected to the condensed water inlet. Therefore, when the water supply assembly 300 needs to be supplemented with condensed water, the three-way valve 841 can be controlled to switch to the first state, so that the condensed water flowing through the upstream pipe section of the drainage pipe 840 can flow through the first valve outlet to the condensed water inlet of the water supply assembly 300; when the water supply assembly 300 does not need to be supplemented with condensed water, the three-way valve 841 can be controlled to switch to the second state, so that the condensed water can be directly discharged to the outdoor side through the drainage pipe 840.

[0209] In some alternative embodiments, since the condensed water drips from the heat exchanger, the condensed water may be mixed with pollutants such as dust on the heat exchanger. If the condensed water mixed with pollutants is used as the purification water source of the water purification module, the actual air purification effect will be greatly reduced. To address this possible problem, a filter element 842 is provided at the condensed water inlet in this embodiment. The filter element can be used to purify the condensed water before it flows into the water supply assembly 300 to filter out the pollutants that may be mixed in it, so that the purified condensed water can meet the water quality requirements for air purification.

[0210] In this embodiment, the filter element 842 includes a sleeve and a filter core. The two ends of the sleeve are respectively connected to the first valve outlet of the three-way valve 841 and the condensate inlet. The filter core is arranged inside the sleeve. In this way, the water diverted from the first valve outlet of the three-way valve 841 first flows through the sleeve and is purified by the filter core inside the sleeve, and then flows into the water supply assembly 300. Optionally, the sleeve is a straight pipe or a bent pipe to adapt to the installation requirements of different spaces inside the air conditioner.

[0211] Here, after the filter core has been used for a period of time, it adsorbs more pollutants inside and its purification effect deteriorates. Therefore, it needs to be replaced regularly. In this embodiment, the sleeve is detachably connected to the first valve outlet of the three-way valve 841 and the condensate inlet. Optionally, the detachable connection methods include but are not limited to threaded connection, flange connection, etc.

[0212] Optionally, the filter core types include activated carbon filter core, polypropylene meltblown filter core, polyester filter core or ceramic filter core.

[0213] In some alternative embodiments, regarding the installation method of the water purification module and its related structures in the cabinet air conditioner, the space installation height of the condensate inlet is lower than the space installation height of the upstream pipe section of the drain pipe 840. Specifically, the space installation height of the connection position of the three-way valve 841 relative to the upstream pipe section of the drain pipe 840 is higher than the space installation height of the condensate inlet. In this way, the condensate can flow from the upstream pipe section to the condensate inlet under the action of gravity without additionally installing a driving device such as a pump for transporting the condensate.

[0214] In some alternative embodiments, the water collection tank of the water purification module itself has a water storage upper limit. Therefore, when there is a large amount of dirty water stored in the water collection tank, it needs to be drained. The outlet end of the water collection tank in this embodiment is connected to the downstream pipe section of the drain pipe 840, so that the dirty water in the water collection tank can be drained to the outdoor side via the drain pipe 840.

[0215] Optionally, a check valve is provided at the outlet end of the water collection tank. The water flow direction defined by the check valve is from the outlet end to the downstream pipe section to reduce the occurrence of the situation where the dirty water flows back due to the blockage of the drain pipe 840.

[0216] Here, regarding the installation method of the water purification module and its related structures in the cabinet air conditioner, the space installation height of the outlet end of the water collection tank is higher than the space installation height of the downstream pipe section of the drain pipe 840. In this way, the dirty water in the water collection tank can flow to the downstream pipe section of the drain pipe 840 under the action of gravity without additionally installing a driving device such as a pump for transporting the dirty water.

[0217] It should be understood that the present application is not limited to the processes and structures already described and shown in the drawings, and various modifications and changes can be made without departing from its scope. The scope of the present application is only limited by the appended claims.
