Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of humidity regulation, and particularly to a humidity regulator. Background Art
[0002] Currently, some commercial areas such as shopping malls or warehouses often have different requirements for the humidity of the internal air. However, the humidity in the indoor air fluctuates greatly with the change of seasons. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the humidity of the internal space. For example, humidifiers and dehumidifiers are used for humidification or dehumidification. Using two independent devices, namely humidifiers and dehumidifiers, to humidify and dehumidify the environment takes up a relatively large amount of space and has a high cost.
[0003] In the related art, indoor and outdoor air is replaced. During the replacement process, moisture in the outdoor air is absorbed and released into the indoor, or moisture in the indoor air is absorbed and released into the outdoor to humidify or dehumidify the indoor environment. However, the related art has a great dependence on the outdoor environment. When the outdoor air quality is poor, the low-quality outdoor air will be discharged into the indoor to pollute the indoor environment, and the stability is poor.
[0004] Therefore, how to improve the adaptability to the outdoor environment during humidity regulation and improve the stability of humidity regulation has become an urgent problem for those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a simple summary is given below. This summary is not a comprehensive review, nor is it intended to identify key / important elements or delineate the scope of protection of these embodiments. Instead, it serves as a preface to the subsequent detailed description.
[0006] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a humidity regulator to improve the adaptability to the outdoor environment during humidity regulation, thereby improving the stability of humidity regulation.
[0007] In some embodiments, the humidity conditioner includes: a housing, a humidity conditioning turntable, a first partition and a second partition. A cavity is defined inside the housing, and a first air inlet, a second air inlet, a first air outlet and a second air outlet are provided on the side wall of the housing; the humidity conditioning turntable is rotatably arranged in the cavity, and one end surface of the humidity conditioning turntable in the axial direction defines a first flow cavity with the inner wall of the cavity. The first air inlet and the second air inlet are both communicated with the first flow cavity, and the other end surface defines a second flow cavity with the inner wall of the cavity. The second air outlet and the second air outlet are both communicated with the second flow cavity, and air flow can pass through the humidity conditioning turntable in the axial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable; the first partition is rotatably arranged in the first flow cavity, blocking the flow surface of the first flow cavity in the radial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable, and the first partition is located between the first air inlet and the second air inlet; the second partition is rotatably arranged in the second flow cavity, blocking the flow surface of the second flow cavity in the radial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable, and the second partition is located between the first air outlet and the second air outlet. In the axial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable, the first partition and the second partition are in the same plane.
[0008] The humidity conditioner provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0009] When the normal-temperature air flow passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable, the moisture in the air flow will be absorbed. When the heated air flow passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable that has absorbed moisture, the adsorbed moisture in the humidity-adjusting turntable will be regenerated and released into the air flow. Utilizing this characteristic of the humidity-adjusting turntable, the first air inlet can be connected to the first air outlet to communicate with the outside, and the second air inlet can be connected to the second air outlet to communicate with the inside. Drive the humidity-adjusting turntable to continuously rotate in the cavity. Since the first partition and the second partition are in the same plane along the axial direction of the humidity-adjusting turntable, and the first partition is located between the first air inlet and the second air inlet, and the second partition is located between the first air outlet and the second air outlet, therefore, under the action of the first partition and the second partition, the first air inlet can only be connected to one of the first air outlet or the second air outlet. When the first air inlet is connected to the first air outlet, the second air inlet is connected to the second air outlet. At this time, the indoor environment is in an internal circulation state. The normal-temperature air flow outdoors enters the first circulation cavity through the first air inlet, passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable and enters the second circulation cavity. The moisture in the air flow is adsorbed, and then flows out to the outside through the first air outlet. The heated air flow indoors enters the first circulation cavity through the second air inlet, passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable and enters the second circulation cavity. The adsorbed moisture in the humidity-adjusting turntable will encounter the hot air flow and be regenerated and released into the air flow, and then flows out to the indoor through the second air outlet to humidify the indoor environment. By rotating the first partition and the second partition, the connection relationship can be changed, so that the first air inlet is connected to the second air outlet, and the second air inlet is connected to the first air outlet. At this time, the indoor environment is in an external circulation state. The normal-temperature air flow outdoors enters the first circulation cavity through the first air inlet, passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable and enters the second circulation cavity. The moisture in the normal-temperature air flow is adsorbed by the humidity-adjusting turntable, and then flows out to the indoor through the second air outlet. The heated air flow indoors enters the first circulation cavity through the second air inlet, passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable and enters the second circulation cavity. The heated air flow will regenerate and release the adsorbed moisture in the humidity-adjusting turntable into the air flow, and then flows out to the outside through the first air outlet, playing a role in dehumidifying the indoor environment. By continuously rotating the humidity-adjusting turntable, the indoor can be continuously humidified or dehumidified, and it can also drive the rotation of the first partition and the second partition according to the outdoor environmental quality to switch the connection relationship between the indoor and the outdoor, realizing the exchange or non-exchange of the indoor air flow and the outdoor air flow during the humidifying or dehumidifying process. Furthermore, when there is a need for air exchange indoors, the indoor air flow and the outdoor air flow will exchange, and when the outdoor air quality is poor and there is no need for air exchange, the indoor air flow and the outdoor air flow will not exchange, avoiding the entry of dirty outdoor air into the indoor, selectively using the outdoor air flow, reducing the dependence on the outdoor environment, improving the stability of humidity adjustment, and maintaining the quality of indoor air.

[0036] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0037] Combined with Figures 1-9As shown, in some embodiments, a humidity conditioner includes a housing 100, a humidity conditioning turntable 200, a first partition 300, and a second partition 400. A cavity is defined inside the housing 100. A first air inlet 101, a second air inlet 102, a first air outlet 103, and a second air outlet 104 are provided on the side wall of the housing 100. The humidity conditioning turntable 200 is rotatably arranged in the cavity. One end face of the humidity conditioning turntable 200 in the axial direction and the inner wall of the cavity define a first flow chamber 110. Both the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 communicate with the first flow chamber 110. The other end face and the inner wall of the cavity define a second flow chamber 120. Both the second air outlet 104 and the second air outlet 104 communicate with the second flow chamber 120. Airflow can pass through the humidity conditioning turntable 200 in the axial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable 200. The first partition 300 is rotatably arranged in the first flow chamber 110, blocking the flow surface of the first flow chamber 110 in the radial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable 200, and the first partition 300 is located between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102. The second partition 400 is rotatably arranged in the second flow chamber 120, blocking the flow surface of the second flow chamber 120 in the radial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable 200, and the second partition 400 is located between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104. In the axial direction of the humidity conditioning turntable 200, the first partition 300 and the second partition 400 are in the same plane.
[0038] Using the humidifying and dehumidifying machine provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the normal-temperature air flow passes through the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200, the moisture in the air flow will be absorbed. When the heated air flow passes through the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 that has absorbed moisture, the adsorbed moisture in the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 will be regenerated and released into the air flow. Utilizing this characteristic of the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200, the first air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 103 can be connected to the outside, and the second air inlet 102 and the second air outlet 104 can be connected to the inside. The humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 is driven to continuously rotate in the cavity. Since the first partition 300 and the second partition 400 are in the same plane along the axial direction of the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200, and the first partition 300 is located between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102, and the second partition 400 is located between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104, therefore, under the action of the first partition 300 and the second partition 400, the first air inlet 101 can only be connected to one of the first air outlet 103 or the second air outlet 104. When the first air inlet 101 is connected to the first air outlet 103, the second air inlet 102 is connected to the second air outlet 104. At this time, the indoor environment is in an internal circulation state. The normal-temperature air flow outside enters the first flow cavity 110 through the first air inlet 101, passes through the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120. The moisture in the air flow is adsorbed and then flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103. The heated air flow inside the room enters the first flow cavity 110 through the second air inlet 102, passes through the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120. The adsorbed moisture in the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 will encounter the hot air flow and be regenerated and released into the air flow, and then flows out to the inside of the room through the second air outlet 104 to humidify the indoor environment. By rotating the first partition 300 and the second partition 400, the connection relationship can be changed so that the first air inlet 101 is connected to the second air outlet 104 and the second air inlet 102 is connected to the first air outlet 103. At this time, the indoor environment is in an external circulation state. The normal-temperature air flow outside enters the first flow cavity 110 through the first air inlet 101, passes through the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120. The moisture in the normal-temperature air flow is adsorbed by the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 and then flows out to the inside of the room through the second air outlet 104. The heated air flow inside the room enters the first flow cavity 110 through the second air inlet 102, passes through the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120. The heated air flow will cause the adsorbed moisture in the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200 to be regenerated and released into the air flow, and then flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103, playing a role in dehumidifying the indoor environment. By continuously rotating the humidifying and dehumidifying turntable 200, the indoor environment can be continuously humidified or dehumidified. It can also drive the rotation of the first partition 300 and the second partition 400 according to the outdoor environmental quality to switch the connection relationship between the indoor and the outdoor, so that the indoor air flow and the outdoor air flow can exchange or not exchange during the humidifying or dehumidifying process. Furthermore, when there is a need for air exchange in the room, the indoor air flow and the outdoor air flow can exchange.When the outdoor air quality is poor and there is no need for ventilation, prevent the exchange between indoor and outdoor airflows, avoid the entry of outdoor polluted air into the room, selectively utilize outdoor airflows, reduce dependence on the outdoor environment, improve the stability of humidity adjustment, and maintain the indoor air quality.
[0039] Optionally, the housing 100 is a circular cylindrical structure, and the cavity defined by the housing 100 is a cylindrical structure. In this way, it is convenient to install the humidity adjustment turntable 200 in the cavity, so that the installed humidity adjustment turntable 200 can rotate better in the cavity.
[0040] Optionally, the upper end surface of the humidity adjustment turntable 200 in the axial direction and the inner wall of the upper part of the cavity define a first flow cavity 110, and the lower end surface and the inner wall of the lower part of the cavity define a second flow cavity 120. In this way, the incoming air flow can pass through the humidity adjustment turntable 200 better in the vertical direction, so that the moisture in the normal temperature air flow can be adsorbed by the humidity adjustment turntable 200 more efficiently, and the heated air flow can make the moisture adsorbed by the humidity adjustment turntable 200 be regenerated and released into the air flow more efficiently.
[0041] Optionally, the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 are arc-shaped openings provided in the upper region of the side wall of the housing 100, and the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 are arc-shaped openings provided in the lower region of the side wall of the housing 100. In this way, the arc-shaped first air inlet 101, second air inlet 102, first air outlet 103 and second air outlet 104 can better adapt to the housing 100, so that the incoming air flow and the outgoing air flow can flow more smoothly. Moreover, the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 are provided in the upper region of the side wall of the housing 100, which is convenient for the connection between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 and the first flow cavity 110. The first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 are provided in the lower region of the side wall of the housing 100, which is convenient for the connection between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 and the second flow cavity 120.
[0042] Optionally, the radian of the first air inlet 101, the second air inlet 102, the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 is greater than 0π and less than or equal to one-half π. In this way, since the housing 100 is a cylindrical structure, making the radian of the first air inlet 101, the second air inlet 102, the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 greater than 0π and less than or equal to one-half π is convenient for the setting of the first air inlet 101, the second air inlet 102, the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104, ensuring the air intake and air output while facilitating the switching of the flow path.
[0043] Optionally, the radian of the first air inlet 101, the second air inlet 102, the first air outlet 103, and the second air outlet 104 is all one - half π. In this way, since the radian of the side wall of the housing 100 for one week is 2π, making the radian of the first air inlet 101, the second air inlet 102, the first air outlet 103, and the second air outlet 104 all one - half π facilitates switching of the flow path through the first partition 300 and the second partition 400 while ensuring the air intake and air output volumes.
[0044] Optionally, the first partition 300 is located at the middle position of the first flow cavity 110, evenly dividing and separating the connection between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102; the second partition 400 is located at the middle position of the second flow cavity 120, evenly dividing and separating the connection between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104. In this way, the first flow cavity 110 is evenly separated by the first partition 300, and the connection between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 is cut off. The second flow cavity 120 is evenly separated by the second partition 400, and the connection between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 is cut off. Since the first partition 300 and the second partition 400 are in the same plane along the axial direction of the humidity - adjusting turntable 200, the air flow entering the first flow cavity 110 through the first air inlet 101 can only pass through the humidity - adjusting turntable 200 and enter the second flow cavity 120, and then is blown out through the first air outlet 103 or the second air outlet 104 communicating with the second flow cavity 120. Thus, the humidity - adjusting turntable 200 can better adsorb the moisture in the air flow, or better regenerate and release the adsorbed moisture, more efficiently perform continuous dehumidification or humidification of the room. Moreover, by cutting off the connection between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 through the first partition 300, and cutting off the connection between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 through the second partition 400, it is convenient to switch the flow path, that is, it is convenient to switch the connection state between the room and the outside.
[0045] Optionally, when the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are in the first position, the first air inlet 101 is communicated with the first air outlet 103, and the second air inlet 102 is communicated with the second air outlet 104; when the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are in the second position, the first air inlet 101 is communicated with the second air outlet 104, and the second air inlet 102 is communicated with the first air outlet 103. In this way, the first air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 103 can be communicated with the outside, and the second air inlet 102 and the second air outlet 104 can be communicated with the inside. When the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are in the first position, the indoor environment is in an internal circulation state. The indoor air flows into the cavity through the second air inlet 102, and then flows out to the indoor through the second air outlet 104. The outdoor air flows into the cavity through the first air inlet 101, and then flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103. When the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are in the second position, the indoor environment is in an external circulation state. The indoor air flows into the cavity through the second air inlet 102, and then flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103. The outdoor air flows into the cavity through the first air inlet 101, and then flows out to the indoor through the second air outlet 104, realizing air exchange between the indoor and the outdoor.
[0046] Optionally, when the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are switched from the first position to the second position, they rotate 90 degrees clockwise; when the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are switched from the second position to the first position, they rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise. In this way, since the arcs of the first air inlet 101, the second air inlet 102, the first air outlet 103, and the second air outlet 104 opened on the side wall of the housing 100 are all half of π, when the first partition plate 300 and the second partition plate 400 are switched from the first position to the second position and rotate 90 degrees clockwise, and from the second position to the first position and rotate 90 degrees counterclockwise, it can better cut off the flow path between the first air inlet 101 and the second air inlet 102 through the first partition plate 300, and cut off the flow path between the first air outlet 103 and the second air outlet 104 through the second partition plate 400, so that the incoming air flow can only be blown out from the air outlet end, better adsorb the moisture in the air flow through the humidity control turntable 200, or better regenerate and release the adsorbed moisture, more efficiently perform continuous dehumidification or humidification on the indoor, and facilitate the switching of the connection relationship between the indoor and the outdoor.
[0047] Combined with Figure 10As shown, in some alternative embodiments, the humidity conditioner further includes: a first heating unit 500 and a second heating unit 600. The first heating unit 500 is disposed on the windward side of the first air inlet 101; the second heating unit 600 is disposed on the windward side of the second air inlet 102. In this way, the air flow entering the first air inlet 101 can be heated by the first heating unit 500, and the air flow entering the second air inlet 102 can be heated by the second heating unit 600. When dehumidifying or humidifying the indoor environment, the opening and closing of the first heating unit 500 and the second heating unit 600 can be selectively controlled to humidify or dehumidify the indoor environment in the internal circulation or external circulation state, better continuously humidify or dehumidify the indoor environment, selectively utilize the outdoor air flow, reduce the dependence on the outdoor environment, improve the stability of humidity adjustment, and maintain the quality of indoor air.
[0048] In some examples where the indoor environment is in an internal circulation state, the first air inlet 101 can be connected to the first air outlet 103 to the outside, and the second air inlet 102 can be connected to the second air outlet 104 to the inside. By controlling the rotation of the first partition 300 and the second partition 400, the first air inlet 101 is connected to the first air outlet 103, and the second air inlet 102 is connected to the second air outlet 104. At this time, the indoor environment is in an internal circulation state, and there is no air exchange between the indoor and the outdoor. If the user needs to dehumidify the indoor environment, the first heating part 500 located at the first air inlet 101 can be controlled to be turned on, and the second heating part 600 located at the second air inlet 102 can be controlled to be turned off. The normal-temperature air flow in the room enters the first flow cavity 110 through the second air inlet 102, then passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120, and flows out to the room through the second air outlet 104. The moisture in the air flow will be adsorbed by the humidity-adjusting turntable 200. The heated outdoor air flow enters the first flow cavity 110 through the first air inlet 101, then passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120, and flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103. The heated air flow can make the moisture adsorbed by the humidity-adjusting turntable 200 be regenerated and released into the air flow, and is discharged to the outside along with the air flow, thereby dehumidifying the indoor environment. If the user needs to humidify the indoor environment, the first heating part 500 located at the first air inlet 101 can be controlled to be turned off, and the second heating part 600 located at the second air inlet 102 can be controlled to be turned on. The normal-temperature outdoor air flow enters the first flow cavity 110 through the first air inlet 101, then passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120, and flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103. The moisture in the air flow will be adsorbed by the humidity-adjusting turntable 200. The heated indoor air flow enters the first flow cavity 110 through the second air inlet 102, then passes through the humidity-adjusting turntable 200 and enters the second flow cavity 120, and flows out to the room through the second air outlet 104. The heated air flow can make the moisture adsorbed by the humidity-adjusting turntable 200 be regenerated and released into the air flow, and flows out to the room along with the air flow, thereby humidifying the indoor environment.
[0049] In some examples where the indoor environment is in the external circulation mode, the first air inlet 101 and the first air outlet 103 can be connected to the outside, and the second air inlet 102 and the second air outlet 104 can be connected to the inside. By controlling the rotation of the first partition 300 and the second partition 400, the first air inlet 101 is connected to the second air outlet 104, and the second air inlet 102 is connected to the first air outlet 103, so that the indoor environment is connected to the outdoor environment. If the user needs to dehumidify the indoor environment, the first heating part 500 can be controlled to turn off and the second heating part 600 can be controlled to turn on. The normal temperature air flow outside enters the first flow chamber 110 through the first air inlet 101, then passes through the humidity adjustment turntable 200 and enters the second flow chamber 120, and flows out to the inside through the second air outlet 104. The moisture in the normal temperature air flow is adsorbed, making the outdoor air flow flowing out to the inside relatively dry. The heated indoor air flow enters the first flow chamber 110 through the second air inlet 102, then passes through the humidity adjustment turntable 200 and enters the second flow chamber 120, and flows out to the outside through the first air outlet 103. The moisture adsorbed in the humidity adjustment turntable 200 will be regenerated and released into the air flow and discharged to the outside with the air flow, thus dehumidifying the indoor environment. If the user needs to humidify the indoor environment, the first heating part 500 is controlled to turn on and the second heating part 600 is controlled to turn off, so that the normal temperature air flow inside enters through the second air inlet 102 and is discharged to the outside through the first air outlet 103. The moisture in the air flow is adsorbed and retained in the humidity adjustment turntable 200. The heated outdoor air flow enters through the first air inlet 101 and is discharged to the inside through the second air outlet 104. The moisture adsorbed in the humidity adjustment turntable 200 will be regenerated and released into the air flow and flow into the inside with the air flow, thus humidifying the indoor environment.
