Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to a water supply module for an air purification device and an air purification device having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In related technologies, existing air purification devices use electrolysis of salt water to generate hypochlorous acid, which is then released into the air through humidification for disinfection. Therefore, the electrolysis module needs to be placed in a water tank. However, scale and salt deposits accumulate in the tank, necessitating its removability for cleaning. But currently, removing the water tank from the air purification device is easily interfered with by the electrolysis unit, making operation inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. Therefore, one object of the present invention is a water supply module for an air purification device, wherein the electrolysis unit is pivotally mounted on the main body, which can prevent interference between the drawer and the electrolysis unit during the pulling out process.

[0004] Another object of the present invention is to provide an air purification device having the above-described embodiments.

[0005] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a water supply module for an air purification device includes: a body, wherein a receiving cavity is defined within the body, and a pull-out opening is provided on one side of the receiving cavity; a drawer, wherein the drawer is detachably disposed within the receiving cavity from the pull-out opening; and an electrolysis unit, wherein the electrolysis unit is located at the working position of the drawer, and the upper end of the electrolysis unit is rotatably connected to the body via a rotating shaft; the drawer is configured to contact the electrolysis unit during extraction and retraction, thereby driving the electrolysis unit to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0006] According to an embodiment of the air purification device, the water supply module features an electrolysis unit mounted on an internal cavity within the main body, which is pivotable. When the drawer is pushed into the cavity from the main body's pull-out opening, it pushes the electrolysis unit, causing it to rotate. As the drawer extends into the main body, gravity causes the electrolysis unit to return to its initial position, bringing it into contact with the brine inside the drawer for electrolysis. When the drawer is pulled out, the electrolysis unit is pushed, causing it to rotate and disengage from the brine, thus stopping the electrolysis process. This design makes overall control more convenient and facilitates the removal and assembly of the drawer. During drawer operation, the rotation of the electrolysis unit prevents interference with the drawer, simplifying user operation.

[0007] In addition, the water supply module of the air purification device according to the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0008] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolysis unit is formed as a smooth surface at least on the surface adjacent to the pull-out opening and on the surface away from the pull-out opening.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present invention, the drawer has a boss located between the working position and the rear wall of the drawer, and the top of the boss is rounded at the corners near the drawer opening and at the corners away from the drawer opening.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the boss adjacent to the pull-out opening and the surface away from the pull-out opening are both formed with sloping surfaces.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolysis unit includes: an electrolysis box; positive and negative electrode portions disposed on the electrolysis box; a cantilever arm, the lower end of which is connected to the electrolysis box, and the upper end of which is connected to the rotating shaft; a mounting base connected to the main body, and the rotating shaft engaging with the mounting base; and a contact element connected to the positive and negative electrode portions, the contact element being connected to the main body via the cantilever arm.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolytic box includes two interlocking cover plates, the positive and negative electrode portions are located between the two cover plates, each cover plate is connected to the cantilever, and each of the two cantilever plates is provided with the rotating shaft connected to the mounting base.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrolysis unit further includes: a support frame disposed within the electrolysis box, the top of the support frame being open, the positive and negative electrode portions including a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate spaced apart, the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate being inserted into the support frame from the top, and the support frame being provided with a spacer block spaced between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water supply module of the air purification device further includes a water pump, which is used to pump water out of the drawer, and the water pump is rotatably connected to the main body.

[0015] An air purification device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a body; a humidification module disposed on the body; a water supply module disposed on the body and connected to the humidification module; and a fan assembly for driving air to flow through the humidification module.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air purification device supplies brine, i.e. disinfectant water, which has been electrolyzed by the electrolysis unit, to the humidification module through the water supply module. In conjunction with the fan assembly, the external air is drawn through the humidification module by the action of wind, and the disinfectant water on the humidification module is simultaneously blown into the external air, thereby achieving the disinfection of the external air. Thus, the external air can be disinfected and sterilized, and the overall structure is compact.

[0017] In addition, the air purification device according to the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0018] In some embodiments of the present invention, the water supply module is located at the top or bottom of the body. When the water supply module is located at the bottom of the body, the top of the humidification module is provided with a water distribution tank, and the water supply module pumps water from the drawer to the water distribution tank through a water pump.

Furthermore, features defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0046] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0047] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 A water supply module 100 of an air purification device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0048] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a water supply module 100 of an air purification device 1000 includes: a body 11, a drawer 22, and an electrolysis unit 33. The body 1 defines a receiving cavity 11, and one side of the receiving cavity 11 has a pull-out opening 12. The drawer 2 is provided in the receiving cavity 11 in a pull-out manner from the pull-out opening 12.

[0049] like Figures 1-5 As shown, drawer 2 can be pulled out from inside the main body 1, that is, it can be pulled out or pushed into the main body 1 through the pull-out opening 12 on the main body 1. There is a receiving cavity 11 inside the main body 1 to accommodate drawer 2.

[0050] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the drawer 2 has a structure that can be pulled out from the receiving cavity 11 inside the main body 1. Specifically, the drawer 2 has a working groove 21 inside, which can be used as a holding space to hold salt water. The salt water held inside the drawer 2 can be used by the air purification device 1000 for subsequent use.

[0051] The mechanism of drawer 2 can be a rectangular structure with an open top, which is a conventional design shape. Drawer 2 can also be a box-shaped structure with a top wall. The opening and closing method of the top wall of drawer 2 can be different methods such as pushing and pulling or flipping.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the electrolysis unit 3 is located in the working position of the drawer 2. The upper end of the electrolysis unit 3 is rotatably connected to the body 1 through the rotating shaft 351. That is to say, the electrolysis unit 3 is connected to the body 1 through a rotating structure, so that the position can be changed by rotation, thereby allowing it to cooperate with or disengage from the drawer 2.

[0053] Drawer 2 is configured to contact the electrolytic unit 3 during its withdrawal and retraction, thereby causing the electrolytic unit 3 to rotate around the rotation axis 351. By allowing drawer 2 to contact the electrolytic unit 3 during these movements, a pushing force can be applied to the electrolytic unit 3, thus changing its position. This prevents interference between the electrolytic unit 3 and drawer 2 during their movement.

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, the electrolysis module is located in the working position within drawer 2; this is the position where the electrolysis module and drawer 2 cooperate. Figures 3-5 The diagram shows the process of drawer 2 gradually moving into the receiving cavity 11 inside the main body 1. Figure 3 As shown, drawer 2 is located outside the main body 1.

[0055] Figure 4 As shown, drawer 2 is gradually pushed into the body 1, and as the position of drawer 2 changes, drawer 2 applies a pushing force to electrolysis unit 3, thereby causing electrolysis unit 3 to rotate through rotating shaft 351.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, as drawer 2 extends further into the body 1, it pushes the electrolysis unit 3 to a critical position. Then, as drawer 2 continues to extend into the body 1, the electrolysis unit 3 swings back to its initial position due to gravity. Figure 2 The workstation shown is used for assembly with drawer 2.

[0057] The electrolysis unit 3 is located inside the drawer 2. It can electrolyze the salt water by contacting it with the salt water contained in the drawer 2, so that the salt water generates a liquid containing hypochlorous acid, which is a disinfectant.

[0058] This design allows the electrolysis unit 3 to perform electrolysis when drawer 2 is inside body 1, and it also allows the electrolysis unit 3 to automatically stop electrolysis when drawer 2 is pulled out of body 1. Furthermore, the electrolysis unit 3 does not interfere with the pulling out of drawer 2.

[0059] Furthermore, the electrolysis unit 3 is rotatably mounted on the main body 1, unlike the prior art where the electrolysis unit 3 is slidably mounted inside the drawer 2. In the prior art, the electrolysis unit 3 is slidably mounted inside the drawer, which is structurally complex and occupies internal space of the machine body 200. Therefore, the present solution has a simple overall structure and is easy to operate.

[0060] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the water supply module 100 of the air purification device 1000 includes an electrolysis unit 3 mounted on the internal cavity 11 of the main body 1, which is pivotable. When the drawer 2 is pushed into the cavity 11 from the pull-out opening 12 of the main body 1, it pushes the electrolysis unit 3, causing it to rotate. When the drawer 2 extends into the main body 1, the electrolysis unit 3 returns to its initial position under gravity, thus contacting the brine inside the drawer 2 to perform electrolysis. When the drawer 2 is pulled out of the main body 1, it pushes the electrolysis unit 3, causing it to rotate and disengage from the brine inside the drawer 2, thereby stopping the electrolysis operation. The overall structure is more convenient to control and easier to remove and assemble the drawer 2 from the main body 1. During the drawer 2's operation, the rotation of the electrolysis unit 3 avoids interference with the drawer 2, facilitating user operation.

[0061] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the electrolysis unit 3 can be detachably disposed on the body 1, thereby facilitating the cleaning of the inside of the drawer 2 when the drawer 2 is pulled out from the body 1, and also facilitating the disassembly of the electrolysis unit 3 for separate cleaning.

[0062] Optionally, the detachable connection between the electrolysis unit 3 and the body 1 can be achieved by providing a through hole on the electrolysis unit 3 and a screw hole at the corresponding position on the body 1, thereby enabling the electrolysis unit 3 to be connected to the body 1 by means of a bolt and a threaded engagement of the screw hole.

[0063] Optionally, the detachable connection between the electrolysis unit 3 and the body 1 can also be that the electrolysis unit 3 is connected to the inner wall of the body 1 by adhesive bonding, which facilitates the connection and disassembly between the electrolysis unit 3 and the body 1. Furthermore, the position of the electrolysis unit 3 on the inner wall of the cavity 11 of the body 1 can be adjusted, with a wider adjustment range and more positional options.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figures 2-5As shown, the electrolysis unit 3 is formed as a smooth surface at least on the surface adjacent to the pull-out opening 12 and on the surface away from the pull-out opening 12.

[0065] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the electrolysis unit 3 is mounted on the body 1 by means of pivoting, that is, the electrolysis unit 3 can rotate on the body 1, so that when the drawer 2 is pulled out, a pushing force is applied to the electrolysis unit 3, so that the electrolysis unit 3 rotates to avoid interfering with the movement of the drawer 2.

[0066] Therefore, during the process of pulling out and pushing in drawer 2, one wall of drawer 2 will come into contact with electrolysis unit 3, thereby pushing electrolysis unit 3. In order to prevent the position of drawer 2 from getting stuck when it comes into contact with electrolysis unit 3 during the movement, the position of electrolysis unit 3 facing the drawer opening 12 or away from the drawer opening 12 is set as a smooth surface, which can effectively reduce the friction between electrolysis unit 3 and drawer 2 at the contact position, and effectively ensure the smooth cooperation between drawer 2 and electrolysis unit 3.

[0067] The surface of the electrolysis unit 3 facing the pull-out opening 12 and the surface away from the pull-out opening 12, and such as Figure 2 As shown, the electrolytic unit 3 is a rectangular structure. After being connected to the main body 1 via a rotating structure, the electrolytic unit 3 can be pushed to perform a pendulum motion. This indicates that the surface of the electrolytic unit 3 near the drawer opening 12 is the side wall formed by its height and width, while the surface away from the drawer opening 12 is the other side wall formed by its height and width. By constructing these two side walls as smooth surfaces, jamming when in contact with the drawer 2 can be effectively prevented.

[0068] like Figures 2-6 As shown, a boss 22 is located inside drawer 2 between the working position and the rear wall of drawer 2. The top of the boss 22 is rounded at the corners near the drawer opening 12 and away from the drawer opening 12. Both the surface of the boss 22 near the drawer opening 12 and the surface away from the drawer opening 12 are formed with a ramp 221.

[0069] Specifically, drawer 2 has a protrusion 22 inside. When drawer 2 is pushed into the receiving cavity 11 inside the main body 1, the wall of drawer 2 first abuts against the electrolysis unit 3, thereby providing a pushing force to the electrolysis unit 3. The electrolysis unit 3 then swings, as shown in the figure. Figures 3-5 As shown in the steps, the electrolysis unit 3 falls back under the action of gravity and will first come into contact with the protrusion 22 inside the drawer 2.

[0070] It can be by Figure 6As shown, the surface of the boss 22 facing the drawer opening 12 and the surface of the drawer 2 away from the drawer opening 12 are both sloped surfaces 221. Therefore, when the electrolysis unit 3 falls back to the sloped surface 221, it will still move along the sloped surface 221 with the movement of the drawer 2. When it moves to the top corner of the boss 22, the corner of the boss 22 is rounded, which can prevent the electrolysis unit 3 from getting stuck or hooked with the corner. This ensures that the electrolysis unit 3 can smoothly transition from the corner of the boss 22, so that the electrolysis unit 3 can cross the corner and fall back to the position for electrolyzing the brine.

[0071] Correspondingly, when drawer 2 is pulled out of the receiving cavity 11 inside the main body 1, the electrolysis unit 3 will interact with... Figure 6 The ramp surfaces 221 of the boss 22 shown abut against each other, thereby providing a driving force to the electrolysis unit 3, causing the electrolysis unit 3 to swing.

[0072] It can be by Figure 6 As shown, the surface of the boss 22 facing the drawer opening 12 and the surface of the drawer 2 away from the drawer opening 12 are both sloped surfaces 221. As a result, the electrolytic unit 3 moves along the sloped surface 221 as the drawer 2 moves. When it moves to the top corner of the boss 22, the corner of the boss 22 is rounded to prevent the electrolytic unit 3 from getting stuck or hooked with the corner. This ensures that the electrolytic unit 3 can smoothly transition from the corner of the boss 22, allowing the electrolytic unit 3 to cross the corner and thus enabling the drawer 2 to be removed from the body 1 without interference, which is convenient and quick.

[0073] like Figure 7 As shown, the electrolysis unit 3 includes: an electrolysis box 33, positive and negative electrode sections 31, a cantilever 32, a mounting base 35, and electrical connectors. The overall rotation of the electrolysis box 33 is achieved through the mounting base 35, the electrolysis box 33, and the cantilever 32.

[0074] The lower end of the cantilever 32 is connected to the electrolysis box 33, and the upper end of the cantilever 32 is connected to the rotating shaft 351. The mounting base 35 is connected to the main body 1, and the rotating shaft 351 is fitted onto the mounting base 35, as shown below. Figure 6 As shown, the mounting base 35 is provided on the main body 1, and a rotating shaft 351 is provided on the mounting base 35. The rotating shaft 351 is rotatably connected to one end of the cantilever 32, and the other end of the cantilever 32 is connected to the electrolytic box 33. Thus, when the electrolytic box 33 is subjected to external force, it can rotate with the mounting base 35 through the cantilever 32, thereby avoiding interference with the drawer 2 during its movement.

[0075] Specifically, such as Figure 9As shown, positive and negative electrode sections 31 are provided on the electrolysis box 33, and an electrical connector is connected to the positive and negative electrode sections 31. The electrical connector is connected to the main body 1 via a cantilever 32. The electrical connector enables the positive and negative electrode sections 31 to be electrically connected to the main body 1, thereby supplying power to the electrolysis box 33 and realizing the electrolysis function of the electrolysis box 33.

[0076] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, the electrolytic cell 33 includes two interlocking cover plates, with the positive and negative electrode portions 31 located between the two cover plates.

[0077] The electrolytic cell 33 comprises two structures: two cover plates that can be interlocked. For ease of explanation, the two cover plates are named the first cell body 332 and the second cell body 333. Both the first cell body 332 and the second cell body 333 are cover-like structures. When the first cell body 332 and the second cell body 333 are connected, a receiving space is formed between them. The positive and negative electrode portions 31 are located inside this receiving space. The electrolytic cell 33 can provide a certain degree of protection for the internal structure.

[0078] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, after the first box 332 and the second box 333 are connected, the positive and negative electrode parts 31 are located in the internal space of the electrolytic box 33, and the position of the positive and negative electrode parts 31 is effectively stabilized, preventing the position of the positive and negative electrode parts 31 from shifting during use.

[0079] like Figure 9 As shown, each cover plate is connected to a cantilever 32, and each of the two cantilever 32 is provided with a rotating shaft 351 for connecting to the mounting base 35. By providing cantilever 32 on both cover plates, namely the first box body 332 and the second box body 333 mentioned above, the electrolytic box 33 can be rotatably connected to the mounting base 35 through the two cantilever 32. This ensures the stability of the rotation of the electrolytic box 33 and prevents positional displacement or torsion of the electrolytic box 33 during rotation.

[0080] like Figure 9 As shown, the electrolysis unit 3 also includes a support frame 34 disposed in the electrolysis box 33. The top of the support frame 34 is open. The positive and negative electrode parts 31 include a positive electrode plate 311 and a negative electrode plate spaced apart. The positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 are inserted into the support frame 34 from the top. The support frame 34 is provided with a spacer 341 spaced between the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the outside of the electrolysis unit 3 is the electrolysis box 33. The inside of the electrolysis box 33 has a certain installation space. The positive and negative electrode parts 31 are located inside the electrolysis box 33. The positive and negative electrode parts 31 include a positive electrode plate 311 and a negative electrode plate 312. The positive and negative electrodes can be accommodated by the electrolysis box 33, making the overall structure of the electrolysis unit 3 stable and compact, and also preventing the position of the positive and negative electrodes from being misaligned.

[0082] Electrolysis can be achieved by setting positive and negative electrodes inside the electrolytic cell 33. For example... Figure 9 As shown, the positive and negative electrode section 31 includes a positive electrode plate 311 and a negative electrode plate 312. There is a certain distance between the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312, which can effectively prevent the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 from being too close or making contact, thus preventing leakage or short circuit during use.

[0083] Furthermore, through the function of the electrolytic box 33, the positions of the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 can be ensured to correspond. The electrolytic box 33 houses the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 inside, which can effectively provide a certain degree of protection for the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312, preventing the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 from being scratched and affecting their service life.

[0084] The electrolysis box 33 can also have a water inlet 331. By having a water inlet 331, the brine can be connected to the positive and negative electrode parts 31 inside the electrolysis unit 3 through the water inlet 331, so as to realize the electrolysis of the brine. It can also effectively reduce the weight of the electrolysis box 33 and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0085] like Figure 9 As shown, the support frame 34 is a rectangular frame structure with a hollow interior, and the top of the support frame 34 is an open structure. The positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 are plate-shaped structures that can be inserted into the interior of the support frame 34 through the open top of the support frame 34, thereby stabilizing and restricting the position of the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312, further improving the position restriction of the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312, and ensuring that the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 are always in the corresponding positions.

[0086] Inside the support frame 34, a positive electrode plate 311 and a negative electrode plate 312 are provided, which can be arranged side by side within the internal space of the support frame 34. Furthermore, inside the support frame 34, a partition block 341 is provided, located at the center of the inner wall of the support frame 34. Figure 9As shown, the internal space of the support frame 34 is divided into two spaces, with the positive electrode plate 311 in one space and the negative electrode plate 312 in the other space. This achieves the spacing between the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312, preventing the risk of short circuit or leakage caused by direct contact between the positive electrode plate 311 and the negative electrode plate 312 after the electrolysis unit 3 is connected to the power.

[0087] like Figure 9 As shown, extension plates can be provided on both the positive plate 311 and the negative plate 312. The positive plate 311 and the negative plate 312 are connected to the power supply structure by wires through the extension plates 10 and sealed by potting glue. That is, one end of the wire can be connected to the extension plate 10, so that the positive plate 311 and the external power supply structure can form a connected circuit, and the negative plate 312 can also form a connected circuit with the external power supply structure.

[0088] By using potting sealant, the connection point between the positive electrode plate 311 and the wire can be effectively protected, as can the connection point between the negative electrode plate 312 and the wire. This can prevent corrosion or wear at the connection between the wire and the extension plate 10 during long-term use, thus affecting the service life of the electrolysis unit 3.

[0089] In the air purification device 100 of this embodiment, the water supply module 100 may also be equipped with a water pump. The water pump is used to pump water out of the drawer 2, and the water pump is rotatably connected to the main body 1. By placing the water pump inside the drawer 2, the electrolyzed brine, i.e., disinfectant water, inside the drawer 2 can be pumped to the outside for use in subsequent disinfection steps.

[0090] In some embodiments, the water supply module 100 further includes a water pump (not shown) for pumping water out of the drawer 2. Specifically, the water pump may be located on the main body 1 to directly draw the required water from the drawer 2.

[0091] Specifically, the water pump can also be configured as a rotatable structure, for example, by connecting the water pump via a motor shaft of a drive motor, so that at least a portion of the water pump can extend into or retract from drawer 2. That is, the water pump can have a working position and a retraction position. When in the working position, the water inlet of the water pump is immersed in the water inside drawer 2. When in the retraction position, the water pump is disengaged from drawer 2, and drawer 2 can move outward over the water pump.

[0092] An air purification device 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a main body 200, a humidification module 300, a water supply module 100, and a fan assembly 400. For example... Figure 1As shown, the humidification module 300 is mounted on the body 200. The electrolyzed disinfectant water flows through the humidification module 300 to supply subsequent disinfection steps. The water supply module 100 is also mounted on the body 200 and connected to the humidification module 300 to supply disinfectant water. Specifically, the water supply module 100 supplies the brine (disinfectant water) electrolyzed by the electrolysis unit 3 to the humidification module 300, allowing the disinfectant water to act on the humidification module 300 for convenient subsequent use.

[0093] Furthermore, in the air purification device 1000 of this embodiment, both the humidification module 300 and the water supply module 100 are mounted on the body 200. The salt water electrolyzed by the electrolysis unit 3 can be transported to the humidification module 300 by the water supply module 100.

[0094] The fan assembly 400 drives airflow through the humidification module 300. Specifically, the fan assembly 400 draws in outside air, directing it through the humidification module 300 of the air purifier 1000. The air is then blown out into the air from one side of the fan on the air purifier 1000. This airflow disperses the disinfectant solution from the humidification module 300 into the air, thus disinfecting the outside air. This achieves the disinfection function of the air purifier 1000.

[0095] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air purification device 1000 supplies brine, i.e. disinfectant water, after electrolysis by the electrolysis unit 3 to the humidification module 300 through the water supply module 100. In conjunction with the fan assembly 400, the external air is drawn through the humidification module 300 by the action of wind, and the disinfectant water on the humidification module 300 is simultaneously blown into the external air, thereby achieving the disinfection of the external air. Thus, the external air can be disinfected and sterilized, and the overall structure is compact.

[0096] Furthermore, in the air purification device 1000 of this embodiment, the water supply module 100 is located at the top or bottom of the body 200. When the water supply module 100 is located at the bottom of the body 200, the top of the humidification module 300 is provided with a water distribution trough, and the water supply module 100 pumps water from the drawer 2 to the water distribution trough through a water pump.

[0097] In other words, when the water supply module 100 is located at the bottom of the unit 200, a water distribution tank needs to be installed at the top of the unit 200. This tank supplies the disinfectant water generated by electrolysis to the humidification module 300, facilitating subsequent disinfection steps. Essentially, when the water supply module 100 is located at the bottom of the unit 200, a power supply mechanism, i.e., a water pump, is needed to supply water to the top of the unit 200. This water pump facilitates the delivery of disinfectant water to the water distribution tank at the top of the unit 200, ensuring the tank contains disinfectant water for subsequent disinfection steps.

[0098] Specifically, in another embodiment of the present invention, the water supply module 100 can be located at the bottom of the body 200. Water in the water supply module 100 can be pumped to the top of the humidification module 300 by a water pump, and water can be collected by the drawer 2 located below the humidification module 300. Optionally, the top of the humidification module 300 is provided with a water distribution trough, and the water supply module 100 pumps water from the drawer 2 to the water distribution trough by a water pump.
