DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the application more clear, the application is further described in detail below by combining with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the application, and are not used to limit the application.

[0038] As Figures 1 to 7 The humidifying device shown in the figure, comprising: an evaporation table 1, wherein a water evaporation component is arranged; a water storage structure 2, which is in communication with the evaporation table 1; a first capillary pipe 3, the first end of which is in communication with the water storage structure 2, and the second end of which is in communication with a water source. The water at the water source is drained into the evaporation table 1 by the first capillary pipe 3, and then the water evaporation component in the evaporation table 1 is used for water mist-free humidification, so as to ensure that the water level at the water evaporation component is always kept within a set range, that is, the water evaporation component is partially immersed in the water in the evaporation cylinder at this time, so as to ensure the humidification effect of the water evaporation component, and further ensure the humidification effect of the humidifying device. Moreover, the first capillary pipe 3 can also filter the water of the water source, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the water at the water evaporation component, thereby further ensuring the humidification effect of the humidifying device.

[0039] Specifically, when there is a water source such as condensate water in the equipment to which the humidifying device is applied, the condensate water collected by the first capillary pipe 3 can be directly drained under the action of capillary phenomenon. Since the water in the first capillary pipe 3 is not in the shape of water droplets, the water storage structure 2 is arranged to collect the water in the first capillary pipe 3 by using the capillary change of the water storage structure 2 and the first capillary pipe 3, and then supply the collected water to the evaporation table 1. The water evaporation component volatilizes the water in the evaporation table 1, thereby realizing the humidification process.

[0040] Specifically, the first capillary pipe 3 comprises: an outer pipe 31, one end of which is in communication with the water storage structure 2 and the other end of which is in communication with the water source; and a first liquid-absorbing core 32, which is arranged in the outer pipe 31 and part of which is below the liquid level of the water source. The first liquid-absorbing core 32 below the liquid level of the water source can absorb water and make the water flow along the first liquid-absorbing core 32 under the action of capillary force, and finally reach the water storage structure 2. The outer pipe 31 protects the first liquid-absorbing core 32 and limits the volatilization of water in the first liquid-absorbing core 32, thereby ensuring that the first capillary pipe 3 can reliably drain water to the water storage structure 2.

[0041] The first liquid-absorbing core 32 comprises a liquid-absorbing section and a liquid-condensing section, the liquid-absorbing section is connected with the liquid-condensing section, and part of the liquid-absorbing section away from the liquid-condensing section is below the liquid level of the water source, and part of the liquid-condensing section away from the liquid-absorbing section is in communication with the water storage structure 2. The liquid-absorbing section absorbs water and then transfers it to the liquid-condensing section for condensation, so that the water flowing to the water storage structure 2 is basically liquid water, thereby ensuring that the water storage structure 2 can reliably supply water to the evaporation table 1.

[0042] Optionally, the condensate section has a higher porosity than the liquid absorption section. The capillary change in the liquid absorption section and the condensate section allows water to form droplets in the condensate section and flow out of the first capillary channel 3 into the water storage structure 2.

[0043] The first capillary channel 3 further comprises a reinforcing structure 33 arranged in the outer tube 31, and the reinforcing structure 33 has a spacing with the outer tube 31, and the first liquid absorption core 32 is located in the spacing. The reinforcing structure 33 increases the structural strength of the first capillary channel 3, and at the same time limits the first liquid absorption core 32 to a ring structure, thereby ensuring the liquid absorption and drainage effect of the first liquid absorption core 32.

[0044] Preferably, the reinforcing structure 33 comprises an inner tube, and the axis of the inner tube is collinear with the axis of the outer tube 31.

[0045] The inner tube can be a hollow structure to reduce the mass of the first capillary channel 3, or a solid structure to improve the structural strength of the first capillary channel 3.

[0046] The water storage structure 2 comprises a water storage tube 21, which communicates with the condensate section. The water storage tube 21 collects water, and the highest point of the water storage tube 21 is lower than the highest point of the condensate section. At this time, it can be ensured that the droplets formed in the condensate section can smoothly enter the water storage tube 21, and the water drainage effect of the first capillary channel 3 is ensured.

[0047] As shown in Figure 3 An L-shaped pipe can be arranged between the upper end of the outer tube 31 and the water storage tube 21. The L-shaped pipe reduces the height at which the water storage tube 21 communicates with the outer tube 31, thereby facilitating the smooth flow of water in the first capillary channel 3 into the water storage tube 21.

[0048] Specifically, the water storage tube 21 is provided with a water supply port 22, and the evaporation platform 1 is provided with a water inlet 11. The water supply port 22 is located below the water inlet 11, so that the water in the water storage structure 2 can directly flow into the evaporation platform 1 under the action of gravity, thereby avoiding the problem that the water in the evaporation platform 1 is too much and the water evaporation component cannot evaporate normally. In order to ensure that the water storage structure 2 can reliably supply water to the evaporation platform 1, a second capillary channel 23 is arranged between the water supply port 22 and the water inlet 11. The second capillary channel 23 drains water in the water storage tube 21 into the evaporation platform 1. When the water in the evaporation platform 1 is sufficient, the second capillary channel 23 cannot drain water, thereby avoiding the problem that the water in the evaporation platform 1 is too much.

[0049] The second capillary path 23 comprises a connecting pipe and a second liquid absorbing core, one end of the connecting pipe is communicated with the water supply port 22, the other end is communicated with the water inlet 11, the second liquid absorbing core is located in the connecting pipe, and the lowest point of the second liquid absorbing core is below the liquid level of the water storage pipe 21. The second liquid absorbing core below the liquid level of the water storage structure 2 can adsorb water and make water flow along the second liquid absorbing core under the action of capillary force, and finally reach the evaporation platform 1. The connecting pipe protects the second liquid absorbing core and limits the evaporation of water in the second liquid absorbing core, thereby ensuring that the second capillary path 23 can reliably guide water to the evaporation platform 1.

[0050] In order to further realize the controllable water amount in the evaporation platform 1, a flow adjusting mechanism is arranged at the water supply port 22 or the water inlet 11. The flow adjusting mechanism can adjust the water amount of each second capillary path 23 (adjusting at the water supply port 22) or the water amount (adjusting at the water inlet 11), thereby ensuring the reliable operation of the water evaporation component.

[0051] A plurality of water supply ports 22 are arranged on the water storage pipe 21, one second capillary path 23 is connected to each water supply port 22, and the porosity of the second capillary path 23 gradually increases in the direction away from the outer pipe 31. As the distance from the outer pipe 31 increases, a faster water absorption rate is required to ensure the same water supply efficiency at each water supply port 22, thereby ensuring that each position of the evaporation platform 1 can obtain substantially the same water amount, thereby ensuring that each position of the water evaporation component can maintain good evaporation effect, and further ensuring the humidifying effect of the humidifying device.

[0052] Optionally, the central axis of the water storage pipe 21 is parallel to the horizontal plane, thereby ensuring that the liquid level in the water storage pipe 21 is substantially the same as possible, thereby ensuring the water supply efficiency of the water storage structure 2 to the evaporation platform 1.

[0053] Preferably, an L-shaped pipe is arranged between the outer pipe 31 and the water storage pipe 21, the height H from the central axis of the water inlet 11 to the central axis of the water storage pipe 21 is greater than the height h from the central axis of the horizontal section of the L-shaped pipe to the central axis of the water storage pipe 21, thereby when the evaporation amount in the evaporation platform is small, the water in the water storage structure 2 will not overflow into the evaporation platform, but will flow back to the first capillary path 3, avoiding the overflow of the water storage structure 2 to cause other influences.

[0054] As an implementation, the evaporation table 1 comprises an evaporation box seat 12, an evaporation box cover 13 arranged on the evaporation box seat 12, and the evaporation box cover 13 and the evaporation box seat 12 jointly form a volatilization cavity, and the water volatilization component is arranged in the volatilization cavity. The water inlet 11 is arranged on the volatilization cavity, and the water in the water storage structure 2 can enter the volatilization cavity and form a liquid level with a certain height in the volatilization cavity, and the water volatilization component is semi-submerged in the liquid level of the volatilization cavity, so as to ensure the reliable work of the water volatilization component.

[0055] The evaporation box cover 13 is provided with a gas permeable hole 14. The water vapor volatilized by the water volatilization component is released to the outside of the evaporation table 1 through the gas permeable hole 14, so as to achieve the purpose of humidification.

[0056] The water volatilization component adopts a porous water-absorbing material, such as a volcanic rock, a porous ceramic material, and the like.

[0057] A refrigeration device comprises the humidification device.

[0058] The refrigeration device is provided with a water pan 300, and the water pan 300 constitutes the water source.

[0059] The refrigeration device comprises a refrigeration chamber 100 and a heat exchange chamber 200, the heat exchange chamber 200 is located below the refrigeration chamber 100, the water pan 300 is located in the heat exchange chamber 200, and the evaporation table 1 is located in the refrigeration chamber 100.

[0060] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the patent scope of the present application. It should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the concept of the present application, a number of modifications and improvements can be made, which all belong to the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present application should be subject to the appended claims.
