Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a humidifier that converts the pressure potential energy of water into the rotational power of a humidifying wheel, thereby achieving a self-propulsion function for the humidifier.

[0002] Current aircraft air conditioning systems are usually equipped with air recirculation systems, that is, part of the cabin exhaust is filtered through the recirculation system and then returned to the cabin to participate in the air circulation.

[0003] During the entire voyage, there is no additional moisture source other than the moisture produced by the passengers' breathing. Therefore, for long-distance passenger aircraft, especially in the cockpit and first-class cabins, where the number of passengers is relatively small, cabin dryness has become one of the key issues affecting passenger comfort.

[0004] In the existing technology, the humidification system on an aircraft usually adopts "cold humidification", that is, a pulse valve, a bypass valve and an evaporation plate are arranged in the humidifier. Water is sprayed onto the evaporation plate through the pulse valve and the bypass valve. The incoming dry hot air is mixed with the evaporated water vapor to achieve the humidification function.

[0005] However, the inventors have discovered several drawbacks to this method. To maintain a constant moisture content in the evaporator plate, water must be continuously supplied to the evaporator plate via a pulse valve and a bypass valve. The use of these valves increases the aircraft's electrical requirements.

[0052] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. More details are set forth in the following description to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can obviously be implemented in a variety of other ways different from the description herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar generalizations and deductions based on actual application situations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should not be limited by the content of this specific embodiment.

[0053] In various embodiments of the present invention, “vertical direction, height direction” is defined as Figure 2 up and down directions, and Figure 2 The top is high and the bottom is low.

[0054] Typically, an aircraft has a water system 1, an air conditioning system, and a humidification system 3. The water system provides water for the humidification system. The aircraft's water system also typically has a pressurization function to drive water flow through the pipes.

[0055] Figure 1 The humidifying device 10 of a preferred embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown, which includes an impeller 20 for bearing the impact of water from the water system 1, a humidifying wheel 30 for splashing the water, a water tank 40 for collecting the water, and a cover 50 for shielding from above.

[0056] In a preferred embodiment, water from water system 1 impacts impeller 20 and drives its rotation. Preferably, the pressure-dependent water from water system 1 impacts impeller 20, converting its pressure potential energy into kinetic energy, causing impeller 20 to rotate. Preferably, the pressurization function of water system 1 drives impeller 20, providing energy for the operation of the entire humidifier 10.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the humidifying wheel 30 is coaxially connected to the impeller 20 and is configured to rotate with the rotation of the impeller 20. Therefore, the impeller 20 is a power input device for the humidifying wheel. Preferably, the impeller 20 and the humidifying wheel 30 are coaxially hard-connected, and when rotating, the humidifying wheel is driven to rotate.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment, a water tank 40 is located below the impeller 20 and the humidifying wheel 30, collecting the water that impacts the impeller 20 and providing a water source for the humidifying wheel. The coaxial arrangement of the impeller 20 and the humidifying wheel 30 can be configured to ensure that the impeller 20 is above the water level in the water tank 40 and the humidifying wheel 30 is partially immersed in the water level in the water tank 40.

[0059] Driven by the impeller 20, the humidifying wheel 30 rotates. Liquid water in the water tank 40 adheres to the humidifying wheel 30 and, due to the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the humidifying wheel 30, splashes out from the surface of the humidifying wheel 30. Dry air from the air conditioning system, typically regenerated, hotter dry air, evaporates the splashed liquid water into water vapor and mixes with the water vapor, achieving the air humidification function.

[0060] Figure 2 Schematically shows Figure 1 A schematic side view of the humidifying device viewed from another direction, and Figure 3 Schematically shows Figure 1 Schematic top view of a humidifying device.

[0061] In a preferred embodiment, the cover 50 covers the impeller 20, the humidifying wheel 30 and the water tank 40 from above, and the cover 50 and the water tank 40 can be sealedly connected to keep the water inside the humidifying device 10, preventing the water from splashing to the outside of the humidifying system 3, so as to avoid corrosion and damage to other systems or fuselage structures of the aircraft, and waste of water resources.

[0062] Preferably, the cover 50 provides fluid passages for water and air. Depending on the different flow media, the cover 50 can have a water passage 51 and an air passage 52 that are independent of each other.

[0063] The water passage inlet 51 a of the water passage 51 is connected to the water system 1 , and delivers water with a certain pressure into the humidifying device 10 .

[0064] The air inlet 52a of the air passage 52 is connected to the air conditioning system, and delivers dry air to be humidified, typically relatively hot dry air, into the humidifier 10. After passing through the humidifier 10, the humidified air becomes humidified air. The humidified air is discharged into the air conditioning system through the air outlet 52b of the air passage 52 and further delivered to the designated cabin area.

[0065] Preferably, the water passage inlet 51a and the air passage inlet 52a on the cover are on the same side, ensuring that the flow direction of the dry air entering the humidifying device 10 when contacting the humidifying wheel 30 is consistent with the rotation direction (tangential direction) of the humidifying wheel 30, reducing the relative speed between the dry air and the water liquid, and increasing the contact time between the air and the water liquid, thereby enhancing the humidification effect.

[0066] Return now Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the humidifying device 10 may further include a positioning shaft 60. The impeller 20 and the humidifying wheel 30 are coaxially mounted to the positioning shaft 60, and both the impeller 20 and the humidifying wheel 30 are able to rotate freely relative to the positioning shaft 60. Here, the positioning shaft 60 is used to fix the height position of the coaxial impeller-humidifying wheel device.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment, the humidifier 10 may further include a height adjustment mechanism 70. The height adjustment mechanism 70 connects the positioning shaft 60 to the cover 50 and is capable of adjusting the height of the positioning shaft 60 relative to the water level in the water tank 40. In an alternative embodiment, positioning holes at different heights are provided on opposite side walls of the cover 50 for securing the positioning shaft 60. In an alternative embodiment, a wire may be bundled around the positioning shaft 60, and the height adjustment may be achieved by rotating a built-in rotating wheel to change the length of the wire.

[0068] Preferably, the humidifying device 10 may further include a controller, which actuates the height adjustment mechanism 70 based on instructions from an operator or triggered by preset conditions.

[0069] Figure 2 It is also schematically shown that the humidifying device 10 may further include a liquid level sensor 80 , which is installed on the side wall of the water tank 40 to detect the height of the water level in the water tank 40 .

[0070] When the humidity requirement at the ventilation air outlet changes, the controller can be used in conjunction with the feedback signal from the liquid level sensor 80 to change the immersion height of the humidifying wheel 30 in the water tank 40 to achieve a change in the dry air humidification amount.

[0071] Figure 4 The schematic top view of the humidification system 3 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention is schematically shown, which includes a leveling device 90 and Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the humidification system 3 may further include a leveling device 90 in addition to the humidification device 10.

[0072] The leveling device 90 is installed to surround the outside of the humidification device 10 and is used to keep the humidification subsystem stable and upward, without changing with the change of the aircraft's attitude. The leveling device 90 includes a plurality of leveling rings and a plurality of connecting shafts.

[0073] In a preferred embodiment, multiple leveling rings are nested and connected in sequence, and include a first leveling ring 101 on the inner side, a second leveling ring 102 in the middle, and a third leveling ring 103 on the outer side. The humidifying device 10 is connected to the first leveling ring 101 and is arranged in the space surrounded by the first leveling ring 101, so that the center of gravity of the humidifying device 10 is at the center of the multiple leveling rings.

[0074] In a preferred embodiment, the multiple connecting shafts are symmetrically positioned in pairs, with each pair controlling the humidifier 10's degree of freedom in one direction, resulting in a total of three groups. The focal point of the extended lines of the multiple connecting shafts is located at the center of gravity of the humidifier 10. This fulcrum suspension ensures that the entire humidifier 10 remains stable and upward even when the aircraft's attitude changes, and that the relative heights of the humidifier wheel 30 and impeller 20 to the water level in the water tank 40 remain unchanged.

[0075] Specifically, the multiple connecting shafts include a first connecting shaft 111 that rotatably connects the first leveling ring 101 to the humidifying device 10, a second connecting shaft 112 that rotatably connects the second leveling ring 102 to the first leveling ring 101, and a third connecting shaft 113 that rotatably connects the third leveling ring 103 to the second leveling ring 102.

[0076] Figure 5 Schematically shows Figure 4 Schematic top view of a humidification system, showing the flow paths of water and air in multiple flat rings, where the flow path of water is schematically shown by a solid line, the flow path of air is schematically shown by a dotted line, and the flow directions are indicated by arrows.

[0077] In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of leveling rings are hollow, and the spaces within the leveling rings provide physical boundaries for the air and water passages flowing into and out of the humidification device 10 in the humidification system 3. The physical boundary here refers to the lack of connectivity between the air and water passages, which are separated by pipes. Therefore, the physical boundary in this patent refers to the physical separation between the two.

[0078] Preferably, the hollow space of the plurality of leveling rings includes a water supply line and an air supply line in the inlet section 100a near the water passage inlet 51a and the air passage inlet 52a, wherein the water supply line allows water to enter the water passage inlet 51a, and the air supply line allows air to enter the air passage inlet 52a.

[0079] Preferably, the hollow spaces of the plurality of flat rings form an exhaust pipe in the outlet section 100b near the air passage outlet 52b, and the exhaust pipe discharges the humidified air formed by mixing the water and air in the humidifying device 10 from the air passage outlet 52b to the air conditioning system.

[0080] In a preferred embodiment, the inlet section 100a and the outlet section 100b of the multiple leveling rings are optionally provided with a counterweight component. When the water and air in the hollow space of the multiple leveling rings are in a predetermined flow form, the weight deviation of the water liquid and air fluid in the pipeline can be offset by the counterweight component of the leveling ring, so that the weight of the inlet section 100a and the outlet section 100b remains balanced.

[0081] The working process of the humidification system 3 according to the present invention is as follows:

[0082] The water from the water passage inlet 51 a drives the impeller 20 . The impeller 20 is driven by the hydraulic pressure of the water in the water system 1 .

[0083] The water flowing through the impeller 20 is collected in the water tank 40 after consuming kinetic energy.

[0084] The rotation of the impeller 20 drives the humidifying wheel 30 to rotate, and the water in the water tank 40 adheres to the humidifying wheel and splashes out from the surface of the humidifying wheel under the action of the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the humidifying wheel as the humidifying wheel 30 rotates.

[0085] The dry hot air from the air passage inlet 52a partially evaporates the splashed liquid water into water vapor, and mixes with the dry air to produce moist air, thereby achieving air humidification.

[0086] The moist air is discharged from the air passage outlet 52b to the air conditioning system and then delivered to the designated cabin area.

[0087] The immersion height of the humidifying wheel 30 is adjusted based on the water level in the water tank 40, depending on the humidity requirement of the exhausted humidified air. When the humidity requirement at the ventilation air outlet changes, the control logic, combined with feedback from the liquid level sensor, adjusts the immersion height of the humidifying wheel in the water tank to achieve a change in the humidification of the dry air.

[0088] Using the humidifying device according to the present invention:

[0089] 1. The impeller and humidifying wheel rotate coaxially, converting the water's pressure potential energy into the humidifying wheel's rotational power. The water system serves as both an energy and material supply system, enabling the humidifying device to self-drive and regenerate the humidifying wheel without the need for additional power.

[0090] 2. The space within the leveling ring provides a physical boundary for the air and water pathways in the humidification subsystem. This ensures that the weight of the inlet and outlet leveling rings, as well as on both sides of the inlet and outlet leveling rings, is balanced, thereby achieving self-balancing of the entire humidification subsystem. When the aircraft attitude changes, the entire humidification subsystem remains stable and the relative height of the humidification wheel and impeller to the water tank liquid level remains unchanged, improving the practicality of the system.

[0091] 3. Using the height adjustment mechanism, the humidification amount of dry air can be changed by changing the installation height of the humidifying wheel;

[0092] 4. The humidification effect can be enhanced by installing the water passage inlet and the air passage inlet on the same side of the housing structure.

[0093] While various embodiments have been described above, it should be understood that they have been presented by way of example and not limitation. It will be apparent to those skilled in the relevant art that the disclosed subject matter may be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit and essential characteristics.

[0094] The present disclosure also includes various modifications and variations within the scope of equivalents. In addition, various combinations and aspects, including only one element, one or more elements, or other combinations and aspects also fall within the scope and spirit of the present disclosure.

[0095] Therefore, the above-described embodiments are considered to be illustrative and non-restrictive in all aspects, and are not to be used as a basis for limiting the present invention in any way.
