[0043] The present invention provides an air handling device and an air conditioner including the air handling device.
[0044] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In one embodiment of the air handling device of the present invention, the air handling device includes an upper body 100 and a lower body 200. The lower body 100 is provided with an upper terminal 110 at its bottom end; the lower body 200 is provided with a lower terminal 210 opposite to the upper terminal 110 at its top end; the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 are detachably connected, and the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 are electrically connected.
[0045] It is understood that the upper unit 100 is located above the lower unit 200. The upper unit 100 and the lower unit 200 divide the air handling unit into upper and lower parts. This is analogous to the assembly of components stacked sequentially in existing technologies. In this solution, the upper unit 100 and the lower unit 200 form two separate units for the air handling unit, ensuring that the assembly and disassembly of one unit does not affect the other, thus facilitating assembly and disassembly. The upper unit 100 and the lower unit 200 can be detachably connected in various ways, such as, but not limited to, snap-fit, screw connection, suction connection, or combinations of these connection methods. The air handling unit includes an air handling module 150, which can be located within the upper unit 100 or the lower unit 200; the specific location is not limited here. The air handling module 150 can perform functions such as cooling, heating, humidifying, or sterilizing the air.
[0046] Furthermore, the upper body 100 includes a shell 160, which includes a top plate 161 and a side plate 162. The side plate 162 can be composed of multiple plates. In this embodiment, the side plate 162 includes a right side plate 1621 and a side plate body, wherein the side plate body is integrally formed from multiple plates. The top plate and the side plate are connected by snap-fit and / or by thread (e.g., ...). Figure 2 (As shown).
[0047] Furthermore, the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 are electrically connected. This electrical connection can take various forms, such as, but not limited to, a wire connection; a magnetic connection; or a plug-in connection. Therefore, the electrical connection between the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 allows for rapid connection and disconnection of the electrical components of the upper unit 100 and the lower unit 200. This means that both the structural and electrical components of the upper unit 100 and the lower unit 200 can be quickly disassembled and installed, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the air handling unit's assembly and disassembly.
[0048] This invention assembles an air handling unit into an upper body 100 and a lower body 200, which are detachably connected. This facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the upper and lower bodies, as well as the removal, replacement, and maintenance of components within them. Furthermore, the upper terminal 110 at the bottom of the upper body 100 is electrically connected to the lower terminal at the top of the lower body 200, allowing for quick electrical connection and disconnection of the circuitry between the two units. This further improves the efficiency of the air handling unit's assembly and disassembly.
[0049] Please see Figures 5 to 8 In one embodiment, the upper body 100 includes an upper housing 120 and a connector 130. The connector 130 is movably disposed on the upper housing 120 so that the connector 130 has a locking position that is limited to the lower body 200 and an unlocking position that is disengaged from the lower body 200.
[0050] It is understood that there are various ways in which the connector 130 can be movably disposed on the upper housing 120, such as, but not limited to: the connector 130 can be slidably disposed on the upper housing 120, and the connector 130 can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position by sliding, for example, the upper housing 120 is provided with a sliding groove or receiving groove 123, and the connector 130 can slide in the sliding groove or receiving groove 123; or, the connector 130 can be rotatably disposed on the upper housing 120, and the connector 130 can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position by rotating, for example, one end of the connector 130 is connected to the upper housing 120, and the other end is rotatably disposed on the upper housing 120. The connection method between connector 130 and upper housing 120 is not limited, as long as connector 130 can switch between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locked position is where connector 130 on upper housing 120 is connected to lower housing 200 to achieve a fixed connection between upper housing 100 and lower housing 200; the unlocked position is where connector 130 on upper housing 120 can detach from lower housing to achieve disassembly and separation of upper housing 100 and lower housing 200. Therefore, by movably mounting connector 130 on upper housing 120, connection and separation with lower housing 200 can be achieved, facilitating the assembly and disassembly of upper housing 100 and lower housing 200, thereby improving the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the air handling unit.
[0051] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the upper body 100 further includes an elastic element 140, which is disposed on the connector 130 and located within the upper housing 120. The elastic element 140 is used to apply an elastic force to the connector 130 to move it from the unlocked position to the locked position.
[0052] It is understood that the elastic element 140 can be a spring or a sheet spring, and the specific type is not limited here. One end of the elastic element 140 can be connected to the connecting member 130, and the other end can be connected to the inner wall of the upper housing 120; or, one end of the elastic element 140 can be connected to the connecting member 130, and the other end is a free end. When the connecting member 130 moves on the upper housing 120, the free end of the elastic element 140 can abut against the inner wall of the upper housing 120. By applying an external force to the connecting member 130, the elastic element 140 can undergo elastic deformation. The elastically deformed elastic element 140 applies a force to the connecting member 130. When the external force is stopped, the force of the elastic element 140 allows the connecting member 130 to move from the unlocked position to the locked position, so that the connecting member 130 can be connected and fixed to the lower body 200.
[0053] When no external force is applied to the connector 130, the connector 130 is in the locked position and is fixedly connected to the lower body 200, thus ensuring a stable connection between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200. When an external force is applied to the connector 130, causing it to be in the unlocked position, the connector 130 can be separated from the lower body 200, facilitating the disassembly and separation of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200. When the external force is stopped, the connector 130 can be moved from the unlocked position to the locked position. This configuration, with the elastic element 140, not only facilitates the assembly of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 but also facilitates their disassembly, thereby improving the disassembly efficiency of the air handling unit.
[0054] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the bottom end of the connector 130 is provided with a hook 131, which is exposed outside the upper housing 120. The top end of the lower housing 200 is provided with a slot 221 adapted to the hook 131, and the hook 131 is slidably disposed in the slot 221. In the locked position, the hook 131 is hooked in the slot 221. In the unlocked position, the elastic member 140 undergoes elastic deformation under the action of external force, and the hook 131 can disengage from the slot 221.
[0055] Specifically, there can be multiple hooks 131, which can be arranged sequentially at intervals at the bottom of the connector 130. Multiple hooks 131 help improve the stability of the connection and fixation between the connector 130 and the lower body 200. Of course, there can also be only one hook 131, which is not limited here. The lower body 200 includes a lower cover 220 and a lower base 230. The upper cover is detachably fitted onto the lower base 230. The top of the lower cover 220 is provided with a slot 221, and the number of slots 221 corresponds one-to-one with the number of hooks 131.
[0056] When no external force is applied to the connector 130, the connector 130 is in the locked position, and the hook 131 is hooked in the slot 221. At this time, the upper body 100 can be fixedly connected to the lower body 200. When an external force is applied to the connector 130, the hook 131 at the bottom of the connector 130 slides in the slot 221. The hook 131 moves from the position of being hooked to the slot 221 to the position of being disengaged, so that the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 can be disassembled and separated. When the connector 130 is subjected to external force, the elastic element 140 undergoes elastic deformation due to the compression of the connector 130. In this embodiment, the elastic element 140 is a spring. The spring force allows the connector 130 to automatically return from the unlocked position to the locked position when no external force is applied. That is, the use of the elastic element 140 ensures that the upper body 100 can be stably connected to the lower body 200, and ensures the stability of the upper body 100 installed on the lower body 200.
[0057] In one embodiment, the hook 131 includes a hook portion 1311, and the groove of the slot 221 forms a locking platform 2211. In the locked position, at least a portion of the hook portion 1311 is positioned directly below the locking platform 2211, so that the hook 131 is hooked into the slot 221. In the unlocked position, the hook portion 1311 is positioned directly below the groove, so that the hook 131 can disengage from the slot 221. It is understood that the hook 131 also includes a connecting portion, one end of which is connected to the connector 130, and the other end of which is connected to the hook portion 1311. The locking platform 2211 is located at the opening of the locking slot 221. The locking platform 2211 is used to hook and connect with the locking hook 131. When at least part of the hook 1311 is located directly below the locking platform 2211, that is, the locking hook 131 is hooked on the locking platform 2211, the locking hook 131 cannot be moved out of the locking slot 221 in the height direction. When the hook 1311 moves from directly below the locking platform 2211 to directly below the opening of the slot, the locking platform 2211 no longer blocks the hook 1311, and the hook 1311 can be moved out of the locking slot 221 in the height direction. That is, the locking hook 131 can disengage from the locking slot 221, thereby allowing the upper body 100 to separate from the lower body 200. It can be seen that by setting the card plate 2211 and the hook part 1311, the upper body 100 can be easily connected and separated from the lower body 200. The connection and separation of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 is simple, which helps to improve the assembly and disassembly efficiency of the air handling unit.
[0058] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 8In one embodiment, the upper housing 120 includes an upper cover 121 and a lower cover 122, the upper cover 121 and the lower cover 122 forming a receiving groove 123, the elastic member 140 and at least a portion of the connecting member 130 being slidably disposed within the receiving groove 123, the connecting member 130 being provided with a pressing portion 132; in the locked position, the pressing portion 132 being disposed outside the receiving groove 123; in the unlocked position, an external force is applied to the pressing portion 132, causing the elastic member 140 to undergo elastic deformation, and at least a portion of the pressing portion 132 being disposed within the receiving groove 123.
[0059] It is understood that the upper cover 121 and the lower cover 122 together form a receiving groove 123 for accommodating the elastic member 140 and the connecting member 130. The upper housing 120 is provided with a pressing hole, and the pressing part 132 is disposed in the pressing hole, which communicates with the receiving groove 123. In this embodiment, one end of the connecting member 130 is provided with a first mounting post, and the inner wall of the upper cover 121 is provided with a second mounting post. The elastic member 140 is a spring, one end of which is sleeved on the first mounting post and engaged with it, and the other end of which is sleeved on the second mounting post and engaged with it. This arrangement allows the elastic member 140 to be stably installed in the receiving groove 123. The pressing part 132 is located at the end of the connector 130 facing away from the first mounting post, that is, at the end of the connector 130 facing away from the elastic member 140. This arrangement allows the force applied to the pressing part 132 to be directly transmitted to the elastic member 140 in a straight line, causing the elastic member 140 to undergo elastic deformation. Straight force transmission is beneficial for saving effort, and the connector 130 can move within the receiving groove 123 under the drive of a smaller force, thereby allowing the hook part 1311 to move within the slot 221. Of course, in other embodiments, the pressing part 132 may also be located on the side of the connector 130 instead of being opposite to the elastic member 140, depending on the design requirements.
[0060] In this embodiment, when no external force is applied to the pressing part 132, the elastic member 140 can be in a natural state or a compressed state. At this time, the hook part 1311 of the connecting member 130 is hooked in the slot 221, and the pressing part 132 is located outside the receiving groove 123, that is, the pressing part 132 is located in the pressing hole, so as to press the pressing part 132. When an external force is applied to the pressing part 132, the force on the pressing part 132 is transmitted to the elastic member 140 in a straight line, causing the elastic member 140 to undergo elastic deformation. At least part of the pressing part 132 moves towards the receiving groove 123 in the pressing hole. At this time, the connecting member 130 squeezes the elastic member 140, causing the elastic member 140 to undergo elastic deformation. The hook part 1311 disengages from the locking platform 2211 of the slot 221, so that the hook part 1311 can disengage from the slot 221. When the force applied to the pressing part 132 is stopped, the elastic element 140 has a reset function, so that the hook part 1311 of the connector 130 can be stably hooked into the slot 221 of the lower cover 220, ensuring the stability of the connection between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200.
[0061] Furthermore, the upper and / or lower ends of the connector 130 are provided with protrusions. There can be multiple protrusions, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the length of the connector 130. The protrusions contact the top and bottom walls of the receiving groove 123 to reduce the contact area between the connector 130 and the top wall of the upper cover 121 and the bottom wall of the lower cover 122. This allows the pressing part 132 to be pushed with a smaller force, which helps to save effort.
[0062] In one embodiment, the upper cover 121 and the lower cover 122 enclose at least two oppositely arranged receiving grooves 123, each receiving groove 123 containing a connector 130 and an elastic member 140. It is understood that multiple receiving grooves 123 correspond to multiple connectors 130 and multiple elastic members 140, and the multiple connectors 130 ensure the stability of the connection between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200. In this embodiment, the upper cover 121 and the lower cover 122 enclose two receiving grooves 123, and the two receiving grooves 123 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The two connectors 130 and two elastic members 140 within the two receiving grooves 123 are also arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The two connectors 130 are located on opposite sides of the upper body 100, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200.
[0063] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8In one embodiment, one of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 is provided with a positioning post 222, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 124. The positioning post 222 and the positioning hole 124 are correspondingly inserted and connected. It can be understood that by setting the positioning post 222 and the positioning hole 124, the installation of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 can be wire-positioned, so that the hook 131 of the connector 130 in the upper body 100 can be accurately inserted into the slot 221 of the lower body 200. In this embodiment, the bottom end of the lower cover 122 of the upper body 100 is provided with a positioning hole 124, and the top end of the lower cover 220 of the lower body 200 is provided with a positioning post 222 that is adapted to the positioning hole 124. When installing the upper body 100 and the lower body 200, it is only necessary to insert the positioning post 222 into the positioning hole 124 to determine the installation position of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200, so that the hook 131 of the connector 130 can be hooked into the slot 221. This setting improves the efficiency and reliability of installing the upper body 100 on the lower body 200.
[0064] In one embodiment, one of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 is provided with a threaded post 223, and the other is provided with a threaded hole 125. The upper body 100 and the lower body 200 are connected together by screws passing through the threaded hole 125 and the threaded post 223. It can be understood that there can be multiple threaded posts 223 and threaded holes 125. By providing threaded posts 223 and threaded holes 125, the connection between the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 is made more stable. In this embodiment, the lower cover 122 of the upper body 100 is provided with a screw hole 125, and the lower cover 220 of the lower body 200 is provided with a screw post 223. The lower cover 122 is provided with a groove, and the screw post 223 is inserted into the groove. The screw passes through the screw hole 125 and is threadedly connected to the screw post 223 in the groove. At the same time, the groove can also position the installation of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200, thereby improving the efficiency and stability of the upper body 100 being installed on the lower body 200.
[0065] Please see Figures 9 to 11 In one embodiment, the bottom end of the upper body 100 is provided with a downwardly protruding protrusion 126, the top end of the lower body 200 is provided with a downwardly recessed recess 224 corresponding to the protrusion 126, the upper terminal 110 is disposed in the protrusion 126, and the lower terminal 210 is disposed in the recess 224.
[0066] It is understood that there can be multiple upper terminals 110 and lower terminals 210, and these multiple upper terminals 110 and multiple lower terminals 210 correspond one-to-one within the protrusion 126 and the recess 224, respectively. When the upper body 100 is installed on the lower body 200, the protrusion 126 and the recess 224 are provided, and the protrusion 126 and the recess 224 are adapted to fit together, allowing the protrusion 126 to be inserted into the recess 224. The protrusion 126 and the recess 224 position the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 for installation. At the same time, the upper terminals 110 in the protrusion 126 can also be electrically connected to the lower terminals 210 in the recess 224, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200. The electrical connection between the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 can be a plug-in electrical connection, a magnetic electrical connection, or a combination of plug-in and magnetic connection; no specific limitation is made here.
[0067] In one embodiment, one of the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 is a male terminal and the other is a female terminal, and the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 are plugged into each other. It is understood that the female terminal includes a female end cap and a plurality of female pins disposed within the female end cap, and the male terminal includes a male end cap and a plurality of male pins disposed within the male end cap. The female end cap has a female end connection portion, and the male end cap has a male end connection portion. The male pins are adapted to the female pins, and the number of male and female pins can be multiple and correspond one-to-one. The male end connection portion is plugged into the female end connection portion so that the male pins can abut against the female pins, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210. Therefore, it can be seen that the electrical connection is achieved by plugging in the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210, which makes it easy for the upper body 100 to be electrically connected to and disconnected from the lower body 200. Furthermore, the electrical connection can be completed simultaneously when the protrusion 126 of the upper body 100 is inserted into the recess 224 of the lower body 200, thereby improving the installation and disassembly efficiency of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200.
[0068] Please see Figure 11 In one embodiment, the protrusion 126 is provided with an upper insertion hole 1261 for accommodating the upper terminal 110. The upper body 100 also includes an air treatment module 150. One end of the upper terminal 110 is electrically connected to the air treatment module 150, and the other end is inserted into the lower terminal 210.
[0069] Understandably, the upper insertion hole 1261 is used to accommodate and fix the upper terminal block 110. The air handling module 150 includes a water tank, which may include a large water tank 151 and a small water tank 152. Both the large water tank 151 and the small water tank 152 can be installed on the lower cover 122. The air handling module 150 can atomize the water in the water tank. The atomized water vapor can be blown out from inside the air handling device to humidify the air outside the air handling device. Alternatively, the water tank can be located above the air handling device, and a water tank can be provided at the lower end of the air handling device. The water in the water tank will flow into the water tank from top to bottom. The air entering the air handling device will pass over the water tank to humidify the air. The humidified air is blown out to humidify the air outside the air handling device, thereby realizing the humidification function of the air handling device. In the above process, the air handling unit includes a motor or an air pump. One end of the upper terminal 110 is electrically connected to the motor or air pump through a wire, so that the structural part and the electrical control part of the upper body 100 are integrated as a whole, which facilitates the installation of the upper body 100 on the lower body 200.
[0070] In one embodiment, the recess 224 is provided with a lower insertion hole 2241 for accommodating the lower terminal 210. The lower body 200 includes a power supply. One end of the lower terminal 210 is electrically connected to the power supply, and the other end is inserted into the upper terminal 110. It is understood that the lower insertion hole 2241 is used to accommodate and fix the lower terminal 210. The power supply is installed in the lower base 230 of the lower body 200. The lower base 230 contains a sensing module, and the power supply can power the sensing module. Simultaneously, the power supply is electrically connected to one end of the lower terminal 210 via a wire, and the lower terminal 210 is also inserted into the upper terminal 110 to achieve electrical connection, so that the power supply can power the air handling unit. This arrangement achieves electrical connection between the circuitry of the lower body 200 and the upper body 100. Therefore, by setting the upper terminal 110 and the lower terminal 210 to be plugged in, the circuit parts of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200 can be quickly connected and disconnected, so as to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the upper body 100 and the lower body 200, thereby improving the disassembly and assembly efficiency of the air handling unit.
