DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 6The present invention provides a humidification structure, including an atomizing chamber 100, including: a mist outlet pipe 20, a first end of the mist outlet pipe 20 is connected to the atomizing chamber 100; a drain pipe 30, a first end of the drain pipe 30 is connected to the atomizing chamber 100; a circulation component 40, the circulation component 40 includes a circulation chamber 400, the second end of the mist outlet pipe 20 and the second end of the drain pipe 30 are both connected to the circulation chamber 400, and the circulation component 40 has an outflow port 410 connected to the circulation chamber 400.

[0029] In the present invention, the humidification structure includes an atomizing cavity 100, and the humidification structure of the present invention includes a mist outlet pipe 20, a drain pipe 30 and a circulation component 40. The first end of the mist outlet pipe 20 is in communication with the atomizing cavity 100, and the first end of the drain pipe 30 is in communication with the atomizing cavity 100. The circulation component 40 has a circulation cavity 400, wherein the second end of the mist outlet pipe 20 and the second end of the drain pipe 30 are both in communication with the circulation cavity 400, and the circulation component 40 has an outflow port 410 in communication with the circulation cavity 400. In this way, the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are combined into one, so that one pipe port has both the mist outlet and drainage functions, and the assembly process of the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 can be omitted, so that the mist outlet and drainage structure of the humidification structure in the air conditioner are simple, and the assembly is simple, the space occupied is small, and the maintenance is convenient.

[0030] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the humidification structure of the present invention includes: an atomizing assembly 1, a rear cover 80 and a water storage tank 90, wherein the atomizing assembly 1 is connected to the water storage tank 90 and is located below the water storage tank 90, and the rear cover 80 is connected to the atomizing assembly 1 and is located below the atomizing assembly 1. The mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are arranged on the rear cover 80 and are located below the rear cover 80.

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the atomization assembly 1 includes an atomizer 110, and the atomizer 110 has an atomization chamber 100. Preferably, the atomizer 110 is an ultrasonic atomizer.

[0032] Specifically, the circulation assembly 40 includes: a circulation tube 401, a first end of the circulation tube 401 is used to connect with the second end of the mist outlet pipe 20 and the second end of the drain pipe 30, and a second end of the circulation tube 401 is used to form an outflow port 410. In this way, the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are combined into one through the circulation tube 401, so that the circulation tube 401 has both the mist outlet function and the drain function, thereby simplifying the humidification structure in the air conditioner and reducing the space occupied by the humidification structure in the air conditioner.

[0033] Preferably, the circulation tube 401 is a rubber tube.

[0034] In an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the circulation assembly 40 further includes: a first three-way joint 41, a first interface 411 of the first three-way joint 41 is connected to the first end of the circulation pipe 401, a second interface 412 of the first three-way joint 41 is connected to the second end of the mist outlet pipe 20, and a third interface 413 of the first three-way joint 41 is connected to the second end of the mist outlet pipe 20. The mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are connected to the circulation pipe 401 through the first three-way joint 41, so that the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are combined into one.

[0035] Preferably, in order to ensure the connection reliability of the circulation pipe 401, the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30, the humidification structure includes: a first tightening component 51, which cooperates with the first three-way joint 41 to tighten the circulation pipe 401, and / or the mist outlet pipe 20, and / or the drain pipe 30 on the first three-way joint 41.

[0036] In the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention, the first clamping component 51 includes a mounting portion 501 and a fastening portion 502. The mounting portion 501 is arranged around the outer periphery of the pipe body to which it is connected, and then mounted on the fastening portion 502 by screws, thereby fixing the position of the first three-way joint 41. Secondly, since the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 have the property of opening and contraction, the two pipes can be connected and fastened with the first three-way joint 41 by interference fit. Alternatively, each interface of the first three-way joint 41 at least partially has a fastening thread, so that the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are fixedly connected to the first three-way joint 41 by the fastening thread.

[0037] Specifically, the length of the circulation tube 401 is greater than or equal to the length of the mist outlet tube 20 ; and / or the length of the circulation tube 401 is greater than or equal to the length of the drain pipe 30 .

[0038] In the embodiment of the present invention, the humidification structure further includes: a water outlet component 420, which is arranged at the outflow port 410, and includes a drainage interface 421 and a mist outlet interface 422 which are arranged at intervals.

[0039] Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, the opening of the drainage interface 421 is set downward; and / or the opening of the mist outlet interface 422 is set in the horizontal direction; and / or the mist outlet interface 422 is located above the drainage interface 421. When the drainage command is issued, the water flows through the humidification structure and flows to the drainage pipe 30, and drains to the water receiving tray. Since the water is heavy and the flow rate is slow, the opening of the drainage interface 421 is set downward; when the humidification command is issued, the water mist flows through the atomization cavity 100 to the mist outlet pipe 20. Since the water mist is light and the flow rate is fast, it will not flow through the drainage interface 421. Therefore, the mist outlet interface 422 is set in the horizontal direction and is set above the drainage interface 421.

[0040] In the specific implementation process of the embodiment of the present invention, the water outlet component 420 is a second three-way joint 42, one interface of the second three-way joint 42 is connected to the circulation pipe 401, one interface of the second three-way joint 42 is a drainage interface 421, and the other interface of the second three-way joint 42 is a mist outlet interface 422; and / or the humidification structure also includes a second tightening component 52, and the second tightening component 52 cooperates with the water outlet component 420 to tighten the water outlet component 420 and the circulation component 40.

[0041] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the humidification structure includes: an atomizing shell 10, an atomizing chamber 100 is arranged in the atomizing shell 10; a drain port 11 is arranged at the bottom of the atomizing shell 10, and a mist outlet 12 is arranged at the upper part of the atomizing shell 10; a drain assembly 60, the drain assembly 60 is arranged on the atomizing shell 10, and at least a part of the drain assembly 60 is movably arranged to open or close the drain port 11.

[0042] The humidification structure of the present invention includes a water tank 90, wherein the water tank 90 includes a water inlet 91, and the water inlet 91 is arranged at the top of the entire humidification structure. The drainage pipe 30 of the humidification structure of the present invention is arranged at the bottom of the entire humidification structure. When the mist outlet 12 is connected to the air duct of the wind shield 70, it can be connected to the outside of the air conditioner.

[0043] like Figure 6 As shown, the atomization assembly 1 includes a DC fan 15, a guide plate 14, and an air guide port 140. The air guide port 140 is connected to the cavity where the DC fan 15 is located, and the air flow blown out by the DC fan 15 is blown out through the air guide port 140; the air guide port 140 is arranged in the cavity surrounded by the guide plate 14, and the guide plate 14 close to one side of the atomizer 110 and extending in the vertical direction is spaced apart from the atomizer 110 at a certain distance to form an opening, so that the air flow blown out by the DC fan 15 is blown out from the air guide port 140, and then flows out from the above-mentioned opening along the guide direction of the guide plate 14 and flows to the mist outlet 12.

[0044] In addition, the partition 13 is disposed near the mist outlet 12 and is spaced a certain distance from the atomizer 110 .

[0045] When the humidification structure receives the humidification instruction, the humidification structure starts, and the atomizer 110 and the DC fan 15 start working at the same time. The air flow blown out by the DC fan 15 is blown out from the air guide port 140 and flows along the guide direction of the guide plate 14, and flows out from the opening between the guide plate 14 and the atomizer 110 to the top of the atomizer 110, and passes through the atomization cavity 100 to carry the mist water to the mist outlet 12, and discharge the water mist outside the humidification structure.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 5As shown, the drain assembly 60 includes a valve core 600, a drain sealing ring 63, and a valve body 66. The valve core 600 is movably arranged in a valve core hole 64. Specifically, there are multiple valve core holes 64, which are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the valve core 600. One end of the valve core 600 abuts against the drain sealing ring 63, and the other end of the valve core 600 is fixedly connected to the valve body 66. Preferably, the valve body 66 has a valve core hole 64, and the valve core hole 64 of the valve body is interference-fitted with the valve core 600, so as to open or close the drain port 11 through the valve body 66. The drain sealing ring 63 is used to ensure the tightness of the structure of the entire drain assembly 60.

[0047] The drain assembly 60 also includes: a drain push rod 61, a drive motor 62, and a spring 65. The drain push rod 61 has a boss abutting against one end of the drain sealing ring 63, and the other end of the drain sealing ring 63 abuts against the valve core 600; the drive motor 62 is drive-connected to the drain push rod 61, and a spring 65 is arranged around the outer periphery of at least part of the valve core 600.

[0048] When the drainage command of the humidification structure is issued, the driving motor 62 drives the drainage push rod 61 to rotate, and the boss of the drainage push rod 61 pushes the drainage sealing ring 63 to deform along the extension direction of the valve core 600 and toward the cavity formed by the valve body 66. Since the force applied by the drainage push rod 61 to the valve core 600 is greater than the elastic force of the spring 65, the valve core 600 moves along its extension direction, so that the valve body 66 opens the drain port 11 to complete the drainage.

[0049] According to another aspect of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, an air conditioner is provided, including a volute assembly for forming an air duct and a humidifying structure arranged on the volute assembly.

[0050] Specifically, the volute assembly includes a first volute, a second volute and a wind shield 70 which are arranged in sequence, and the air duct includes a first air duct section and a second air duct section which are connected to each other, the first air duct section is arranged between the first volute and the second volute, and the second air duct section is arranged on the second volute and the wind shield 70; wherein the humidification structure is arranged on the side of the wind shield 70 away from the second volute, and is fixed to the wind shield 70 by screws.

[0051] Specifically, the humidification structure is the above-mentioned humidification structure, and the mist outlet interface 422 of the humidification structure is connected to the second air duct section; or the mist outlet interface 422 of the humidification structure is located outside the volute assembly.

[0052] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0053] In the present invention, the humidification structure includes an atomizing cavity 100, and the humidification structure of the present invention includes a mist outlet pipe 20, a drain pipe 30 and a circulation component 40. The first end of the mist outlet pipe 20 is in communication with the atomizing cavity 100, and the first end of the drain pipe 30 is in communication with the atomizing cavity 100. The circulation component 40 has a circulation cavity 400, wherein the second end of the mist outlet pipe 20 and the second end of the drain pipe 30 are both in communication with the circulation cavity 400, and the circulation component 40 has an outflow port 410 in communication with the circulation cavity 400. In this way, the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 are combined into one, so that one pipe port has both the mist outlet and drainage functions, and the assembly process of the mist outlet pipe 20 and the drain pipe 30 can be omitted, so that the mist outlet and drainage structure of the humidification structure in the air conditioner are simple, and the assembly is simple, the space occupied is small, and the maintenance is convenient.

[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
