[0002] As living standards gradually improve, air conditioners are becoming increasingly popular, and their functions are constantly being updated. Some air conditioners on the market now include humidification functions. However, current air conditioners with humidification functions generally use a humidification module inside the unit.

The humidification component includes a wet film support and a wet film mounted on the wet film support. The wet film at least partially covers the air outlet, and its lower end is located within the water absorption tank. Thus, water in the water receiving tank is absorbed by the wet film and flows along it, wetting the entire wet film. When airflow passes through the air outlet and flows upwards, it flows through the wet film and carries away the moisture, thereby achieving humidification.

[0069] This invention proposes a humidification module. This humidification module can be used independently or as part of an indoor air conditioning unit; no specific limitation is made herein.

[0070] Please see Figures 1 to 4This invention proposes a humidification module 100, which includes a water receiving tank 110 and a humidification component 140. An air outlet 111 is formed in the middle of the water receiving tank 110. The humidification component 140 includes a wet film support 160 and a wet film 150 mounted on the wet film support 160. The wet film 150 at least partially covers the air outlet 111, and the lower end of the wet film 150 is located within the water absorption tank 130.

[0071] The water receiving trough 110 has an air passage 111 formed in the middle to allow airflow to pass through it. The shape of the air passage 111 can be various, such as square or approximately square, circular or approximately circular, elliptical or approximately elliptical, etc., without specific limitation. Specifically, the water receiving trough 110 has a first flange 112 and a second flange 113 facing each other. The air passage 111 is formed on the inner side of the first flange 112. The height of the second flange 113 can be the same as the height of the first flange 112, or it can be higher than the height of the first flange 112, without specific limitation.

[0072] There are various structures for the water receiving trough 110. For example, to increase the air passage area of ​​the air outlet 111, thereby increasing the humidification area of ​​the wet film 150 and improving humidification efficiency and humidification capacity, the water receiving trough 110 can include a water inlet trough 120 and water suction troughs 130 disposed on both sides of the water inlet trough 120. The water suction troughs 130 are connected to the water inlet trough 120, and the water inlet trough 120 and the water suction troughs 130 enclose the air outlet 111. Specifically, the water suction troughs 130 are disposed on opposite sides of the air outlet 111. For a square air outlet 111, the water suction troughs 130 can be disposed on opposite sides along the length direction of the air outlet 111, or on opposite sides along the width direction of the air outlet 111. The two ends of the water inlet trough 120 are respectively connected to the water inlet troughs 130 on both sides of the air outlet 111, so that the water in the water inlet trough 120 can flow into the two water inlet troughs 130 respectively. Alternatively, the water receiving trough 110 may also include the water inlet trough 120, the water inlet troughs 130 disposed on both sides of the water inlet trough 120, and the connecting trough opposite to the water inlet trough 120, the water inlet trough 120, the water inlet trough 130, and the connecting trough together forming the water receiving trough 110. Specifically, the water receiving trough 110 is generally ring-shaped. Here, the specific structure of the water receiving trough 110 is not limited.

[0073] In this embodiment of the invention, the humidification component 140 includes a wet film support 160 and a wet film 150 mounted on the wet film support 160. The wet film 150 is suitable for humidifying the airflow passing through it. Specifically, the lower end of the wet film 150 is located within the water receiving tank 110, so that water in the water absorption tank 130 is absorbed by the wet film 150 and flows along the wet film 150, wetting the entire wet film 150. Since the entire wet film 150 is in a wetted state, when the airflow passes through the wetted film 150, it carries away the moisture on the wet film 150, achieving a humidification effect. The wet film 150 at least covers part of the air outlet 111, which can be understood as the wet film 150 covering part of the air outlet 111, or the wet film 150 covering the entire air outlet 111. If the wet membrane 150 covers a portion of the air vent 111, when the airflow passes through the air vent 111 and flows upwards, a portion of the airflow will pass through the wet membrane 150 and carry away the moisture on the wet membrane 150, while the other portion of the airflow will flow directly away from the portion of the air vent 111 not covered by the wet membrane 150. If the wet membrane 150 covers the entire air vent 111, when the airflow passes through the air vent 111 and flows upwards, all the airflow will pass through the wet membrane 150 and carry away the moisture on the wet membrane 150.

[0074] The humidification module 100 of the present invention includes a water receiving tank 110 and a humidification component 140. An air outlet 111 is formed in the middle of the water receiving tank 110. The humidification component 140 includes a wet film support 160 and a wet film 150 installed on the wet film support 160. The wet film 150 at least covers part of the air outlet 111, and the lower end of the wet film 150 is located in the water absorption tank 130. In this way, the water in the water receiving tank 110 is absorbed by the wet film 150 and flows along the wet film 150 to wet the entire wet film 150. When the airflow passes through the air outlet 111 and flows upward, it will flow through the wet film 150 and carry away the moisture on the wet film 150, thereby playing a humidification role. Because an air vent 111 is formed in the middle of the water receiving tank 110, the air passage area of ​​the air vent 111 is greatly increased, thereby increasing the humidification area of ​​the wet film 150, which effectively improves the humidification efficiency and humidification capacity of the humidification module 100. At the same time, the humidification module 100 has a simple structure, is easy to disassemble and assemble, and is convenient for maintenance or replacement.

[0075] The structure and installation method of the wet membrane 150 can also be varied, which will be described in detail below. Please refer to... Figures 2 to 4 In one embodiment, the wet membrane 150 is square in shape. The lower end of the wet membrane 150 is located within the water absorption groove 130, and the wet membrane 150 is inclined from bottom to top toward the air outlet 111.

[0076] Further, please refer to Figures 2 to 4The wet membrane 150 is provided in pairs, with its lower ends respectively positioned within corresponding water absorption grooves 130. The upper ends of both wet membranes 150 are inclined towards each other. An air passage opening can be formed between the two wet membranes 150, so that the two wet membranes 150 only partially block the air passage opening 111. Alternatively, the upper ends of the two wet membranes 150 can be connected to each other, so that the two wet membranes 150 completely cover the air passage opening 111. That is, the two wet membranes 150 can be a single, integrally formed structure, without specific limitations.

[0077] It should be noted that, in one embodiment, to ensure that all airflow passes through the wet film 150 for humidification before exiting, and to further improve humidification efficiency and humidification capacity, a sealing element can be provided at the air outlet. This sealing element covers the portion of the air outlet 111 not covered by the wet film 150. Optionally, the sealing element may include a sealing plate or sealing tape. By providing the sealing element, the portion of the air outlet 111 not covered by the wet film 150 can be sealed, ensuring that all airflow passes through the wet film 150 before exiting upwards, thereby resulting in higher humidification efficiency and a larger humidification capacity for the humidification module 100.

[0078] Of course, in other embodiments, the air passage opening may not be sealed. In this way, when the airflow flows upward through the air passage opening 111, part of the airflow will pass through the wet membrane 150 and carry away the moisture on the wet membrane 150, while the other part of the airflow will flow directly away from the air passage opening between the two wet membranes 150, thereby increasing the airflow through the air passage opening 111, which in turn helps to increase the airflow of the humidification module 100.

[0079] like Figure 4As shown, in this embodiment, the wet membrane 150 and the bottom surface of the water absorption tank 130 are arranged at an angle. Specifically, the angle α between the wet membrane 150 and the bottom surface of the water absorption tank 130 is greater than 0° and less than 90°. Considering that the angle between the wet membrane 150 and the bottom surface of the water absorption tank 130 is greater than 60°, the area of ​​the air outlet 111 covered by the wet membrane 150 may be smaller, resulting in a smaller humidification area of ​​the wet membrane 150 and an increase in the overall height of the humidification module 100; while the angle between the wet membrane 150 and the bottom surface of the water absorption tank 130 is less than 30°, the width of the water absorption tank 130 may increase, thereby reducing the air passage area of ​​the air outlet 111 and resulting in a smaller humidification area of ​​the wet membrane 150. Therefore, the angle between the wet film 150 and the bottom surface of the water absorption tank 130 can be made greater than 30° and less than 60°. This can ensure that the air outlet 111 has a large air passage area and that the wet film 150 has a large humidification area. At the same time, it can also reduce the overall height of the humidification module 100 and reduce the installation space required to install the humidification module 100.

[0080] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, the folding direction of the wet film 150 is consistent with the length direction of the water absorption groove 130 (e.g., Figure 3 and Figure 15 As shown in the figure, this makes the wet membrane 150 have a longer water absorption area, which can ensure that after the lower end of the wet membrane 150 absorbs water, the water flows along the wet membrane from bottom to top to wet the entire wet membrane 150, thereby keeping the entire wet membrane 150 in a wetted state, increasing the humidification area of ​​the wet membrane 150, and improving the humidification efficiency and humidification capacity.

[0081] Additionally, please see Figures 9 to 12 In this embodiment, the wet film support 160 includes a connecting frame 161 and mounting frames 162 disposed on both sides of the connecting frame 161. The connecting frame 161 is located above the air outlet 111. The mounting frames 162 are inclined from the connecting frame 161 toward the water absorption tank 130, and the lower end of the mounting frames 162 is located inside the water absorption tank 130. The wet film 150 is mounted on the mounting frames 162.

[0082] Understandably, to ensure better airflow through the wet membrane 150 for humidification, the wet membrane support 160 can be a hollow structure. The wet membrane support 160 mainly serves to mount the wet membrane 150. The wet membrane support 160 can be a one-piece molded structure, which helps to improve the overall structural strength of the wet membrane support 160. Of course, the wet membrane support 160 can also be a separate structure, that is, the mounting frame 162 and the connecting frame 161 are separate.

[0083] In this embodiment, the connecting frame 161 mainly serves to connect the two mounting frames 162, facilitating the installation and disassembly of the humidification component 140. The structure of the connecting frame 161 can vary; for example, it may include a connecting rod, a connecting plate, or a connecting strip, etc., without specific limitations. Optionally, the sealing element can be disposed on the connecting frame 161. The sealing element can be integrally formed on the connecting frame 161, or it can be detachably installed on the connecting frame 161, depending on actual needs. The mounting frame 162 is mainly used to install the wet membrane 150. The structure of the mounting frame 162 can also vary; for example, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 11 and Figure 12 The mounting bracket 162 is provided with a first mounting groove 163, and the wet film 150 is installed in the first mounting groove 163. Alternatively, the mounting bracket 162 may be provided with a snap-fit ​​structure, through which the wet film 150 is snapped and fixed onto the mounting bracket 162. No specific limitations are made here.

[0084] Please see Figure 11 , Figure 12 and Figure 17 , Figure 21 In one embodiment, the mounting bracket 162 is provided with a first mounting groove 163, and the first mounting groove 163 has a mounting opening at at least one end along the length direction of the mounting bracket 162. The wet membrane 150 can be retractably installed into the first mounting groove 163 through the mounting opening. This makes the installation and removal of the wet membrane 150 more convenient, and facilitates the user to repair or replace the wet membrane 150.

[0085] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first mounting groove 163 has a groove wall 164 near the connecting bracket 161, the groove wall 164 including at least a guide portion 1641 extending in the vertical direction (e.g., Figure 4 and Figure 12 As shown, the air guide 1641 is used to guide the airflow upward. In this way, more airflow can be guided upward, thereby increasing the airflow through the air outlet 111 and increasing the airflow at the outlet of the humidification module 100.

[0086] Please see Figures 22 to 25 In another embodiment, the wet membrane 150 is generally arc-shaped. The wet membrane 150 includes an air passage portion 152 and water absorption portions 151 disposed on both sides of the air passage portion 152. The water absorption portions 151 are located within the water absorption groove 130, and the air passage portion 152 is located above the air passage opening 111 to cover the air passage opening 111.

[0087] Specifically, the air passage 152 covers the entire air passage 111. In this way, when the airflow flows upward through the air passage 111, all the airflow will pass through the wet film 150 and carry away the moisture on the wet film 150, thereby increasing the humidification area of ​​the wet film 150 and improving the humidification efficiency and humidification capacity.

[0088] The shape of the air passage 152 can be varied, for example, as... Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the air passage 152 is arranged in a planar shape; or, as... Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the air passage 152 is arc-shaped. The air passage 152 and the water absorption section 151 are smoothly connected, which reduces the resistance encountered by the airflow as it passes through the wet membrane 150, thereby increasing the airflow through the air passage 152 and improving humidification efficiency and capacity. In this embodiment, the wet membrane 150 can be integrally formed, meaning the air passage 152 and the water absorption section 151 are a single structure. This facilitates installation and disassembly of the wet membrane 150, making it convenient for users to maintain or replace it. However, this is not a limitation; the wet membrane 150 can also be a separate unit.

[0089] Please see Figure 22 and Figure 24 In this embodiment, the wet film support 160 is provided with a second mounting groove 166, and the wet film 150 is installed in the second mounting groove 166. Understandably, to ensure better airflow through the wet film 150 for humidification, the wet film support 160 can be a perforated structure. Furthermore, to facilitate the installation and removal of the wet film 150, the second mounting groove 166 can be provided with an opening 180a on at least one side along the length of the water absorption groove 130, allowing the wet film 150 to be removably installed into the second mounting groove 166 through the opening 180a.

[0090] Based on the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 6To enable the humidifier module 100 to have a sterilization and disinfection function, removing bacteria, fungi, and other germs from the air, especially those on object surfaces, the humidifier module 100 may include an electrolysis component 170, which is disposed within the water inlet tank 120. The electrolysis component 170 can process the liquid in the water inlet tank 110 into a substance with sterilization and disinfection effects, such as hypochlorite ions. When the wet membrane 150 adsorbs the liquid in the water inlet tank 130, this sterilization and disinfection substance is adsorbed along with the liquid by the wet membrane 150. After the airflow passes through the wet membrane 150, it is not only humidified by the wet membrane 150 but also disinfected. Simultaneously, the sterilization and disinfection substance can be carried into the indoor object surfaces through the air for disinfection.

[0091] The specific installation location of the electrolysis unit 170 will be described in detail below.

[0092] Please see Figures 5 to 7 In one embodiment, the water inlet tank 120 includes a water inlet area 121 and an electrolysis area 122. The electrolysis area 122 connects the water inlet area 121 and the water absorption tank 130. The water inlet area 121 is located on the side of the electrolysis area 122 facing the air outlet 111, and the electrolysis assembly 170 is located within the electrolysis area 122. By protruding the water inlet area 121 towards the air outlet 111, it facilitates the supply of water from the water tank 180 to the water inlet area 121, and also ensures that the water in the water inlet area 121 is electrolyzed in the electrolysis area 122 before flowing into the water absorption tank 130 for adsorption by the wet membrane 150.

[0093] The water intake area 121 is arc-shaped. This design reduces the space occupied by the water intake area 121, thereby increasing the airflow area of ​​the air outlet 111 and increasing the airflow volume, thus improving humidification efficiency and humidification capacity. Of course, the water intake area 121 can also be square or other irregular shapes; there is no specific limitation, and the design can be selected and customized according to actual usage needs.

[0094] Please refer to the figure. To prevent water in the water intake zone 121 from flowing directly into the water intake tank 130 without being electrolyzed by the electrolysis component 170, a water-blocking rib 186 can be installed in the electrolysis zone 122 (e.g., Figure 7 As shown in the figure, the water-blocking rib 186 is used to guide the water in the water-diverting area 121 to the electrolysis component 170.

[0095] In this embodiment, the electrolysis component 170 is located on the side of the electrolysis zone 122 away from the water intake zone 121. One end of the water-blocking rib 186 is connected to the first flange 112, and the other end of the water-blocking rib 186 is located close to the electrolysis component 170. Optionally, there are two water-blocking ribs 186, forming a flow channel between them to guide the water in the water intake zone 121 to the electrolysis component 170. This ensures that all or most of the water in the water intake zone 121 is electrolyzed by the electrolysis component 170 before flowing into the water absorption tank 130, thereby ensuring the disinfection and sterilization effect of the humidification module 100.

[0096] Please see Figures 19 to 20 In another embodiment, the water inlet tank 120 includes a water inlet area 121 and an electrolysis area 122. The electrolysis area 122 connects the water inlet area 121 and the water intake tank 130. The water inlet area 121 is located on the side of the electrolysis area 122 away from the air outlet 111, and the electrolysis assembly 170 is disposed within the electrolysis area 122. By aligning the water inlet area 121 towards the side of the electrolysis area 122 away from the air outlet 111, the installation and disassembly of the water tank 180 can be made more convenient.

[0097] Understandably, in other embodiments, the electrolysis component 170 may not be provided in the electrolysis zone 122, so that the humidification module 100 can also play a humidification role.

[0098] Additionally, please see Figure 1 To ensure that the water absorption tank 130 has sufficient water to keep the wet membrane 150 moist, the humidification module 100 also includes a water tank 180, which supplies water to the water inlet tank 120. Thus, the water in the water inlet tank 120 flows into the water absorption tank 130 and is absorbed by the wet membrane 150, thereby wetting the wet membrane 150. Specifically, the water tank 180 supplies water to the water inlet area 121.

[0099] The structure and installation location of the water tank 180 can be varied and are not specifically limited, which will be described in detail below.

[0100] For example, please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 13 , Figure 14 In one embodiment, the water tank 180 is installed above the humidification component 140, and the water tank 180 has an opening 180a corresponding to the air vent 111.

[0101] The water tank 180 includes a body 181 and a water outlet 184. An opening 180a is located on the body 181, and the water outlet 184 is located on the side of the body 181 facing the opening 180a. The water outlet 184 is used to supply water to the water receiving tank 110. Specifically, the water intake area 121 is located on the side of the electrolysis zone 122 facing the air vent 111, and the water outlet 184 is located above the water intake area 121, used to supply water to the water intake area 121.

[0102] It is worth mentioning that, in this embodiment, by placing the water tank 180 above the humidification component 140, and providing an opening 180a on the water tank 180 corresponding to the air vent 111, the installation of the water tank 180 will not affect the air passage area of ​​the air vent 111 on the water receiving tank 110, thereby ensuring that the water receiving tank 110 has a large air passage area, and thus ensuring that the wet film 150 has a large humidification area, effectively improving the humidification efficiency and humidification capacity of the humidification module 100.

[0103] In this embodiment, the body 181 is generally U-shaped. See also... Figure 13 and Figure 14 The main body 181 includes a first water-holding section 182 and second water-holding sections 183 disposed on both sides of the first water-holding section 182. The first water-holding section 182 and the second water-holding sections 183 are connected, and the water outlet section 184 is connected to the first water-holding section 182. The first water-holding section 182 is located above the electrolysis zone 122, and the second water-holding section 183 is located above the water absorption tank 130. By arranging the main body 181 of the water tank 180 in a U-shaped structure, the water-holding volume of the water tank 180 can be increased, thereby reducing the frequency of water filling and avoiding the need for users to frequently remove the water tank 180 for water filling.

[0104] It is worth mentioning that you should refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 14 , Figure 15 To ensure that the water tank 180 does not obstruct the air vent 111, thereby maximizing the airflow area and improving humidification efficiency and capacity, the water tank 180 can be positioned directly above the water receiving tank 110. Specifically, the first water-holding section 182 is positioned directly above the electrolysis zone 122, and the second water-holding section 183 is positioned directly above the water absorption tank 130.

[0105] Optionally, the projection of the first water-holding part 182 onto the horizontal plane is located within the electrolysis zone 122, and the projection of the second water-holding part 183 onto the horizontal plane is located within the water absorption tank 130. For example, in one embodiment, the cross-sectional width d1 of the first water-holding part 182 is less than or equal to the cross-sectional width D1 of the electrolysis zone 122, and the cross-sectional width d2 of the second water-holding part 183 is less than or equal to the cross-sectional width D2 of the water absorption tank 130. This ensures that the water tank 180 is located directly above the water receiving tank 110, without affecting the airflow area of ​​the air outlet 111.

[0106] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 8 To facilitate the installation of the water tank 180, the height of the second flange 113 of the water receiving trough 110 can be higher than the height of the first flange 112, allowing the body 181 of the water tank 180 to abut against the second flange 113. Specifically, the body 181 includes opposing first sidewalls 181a and 181b. The first sidewall 181a at least partially abuts against the surface of the humidifying component 140 near the body 181, and the second sidewall 181b abuts against the second flange 113. Thus, by clamping the body 181 of the water tank 180 between the humidifying component 140 and the second flange 113 of the water receiving trough 110, the installation stability and reliability of the water tank 180 are improved.

[0107] In this embodiment, at least a portion of the first sidewall 181a of the body 181 is inclined towards the air outlet 111 from bottom to top. That is, the inclination direction of at least a portion of the first sidewall 181a is consistent with the inclination direction of the wet film 150. In this way, at least a portion of the first sidewall 181a can abut against the surface of the humidifying component 140 near the body 181, specifically against the surface of the mounting bracket 162 near the second water-holding part 183.

[0108] Further, please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 The mounting bracket 162 has a support boss 165 on the side near the main body 181, and the bottom surface of the main body 181 abuts against the support boss 165. Here, the support boss 165 can support the water tank 180, further improving the stability and reliability of the water tank 180 installation.

[0109] Please see Figure 11 and Figure 12The lower end of the water outlet 184 is provided with a water outlet, and a valve switch 185 is provided at the water outlet to control the water flow. Optionally, in order to facilitate the supply of water from the water outlet 184 of the water tank 180 to the water suction tank 130, the wet film support 160 is provided with a clearance groove 167 on the side near the water outlet 184 to avoid the valve switch 185. The clearance groove 167 extends vertically, and the lower end of the water outlet 184 can supply water to the water intake area 121 through the valve switch 185.

[0110] For example, please see Figures 16 to 20 In another embodiment, the water tank 180 is disposed in the water receiving tank 110 and located on the side of the electrolysis component 170 away from the humidification component 140. The water outlet of the water tank 180 is located in the water intake area 121 for supplying water to the water intake area 121.

[0111] In this embodiment, the water receiving tank 110 is provided with a mounting boss 168 (e.g., ...). Figure 19 and Figure 20 As shown, the mounting boss 168 is located on the side of the electrolysis zone 122 away from the air outlet, and the mounting boss 168 is located on the periphery of the water intake zone 121. The water tank 180 is mounted on the mounting boss 168. The bottom of the water tank 180 has a water outlet, and the water outlet is equipped with a valve switch 185 to control the water flow.

[0112] In this embodiment, by arranging the water tank 180, the electrolysis component 170, and the humidification component 140 along the length of the water absorption groove 130, the installation and disassembly of the water tank 180, the electrolysis component 170, and the humidification component 140 are made more convenient.

[0113] Please see again Figure 26 and Figure 27 The present invention also proposes an air treatment device 200, which includes a housing 210 and a humidification module 100 disposed within the housing 210. The specific structure of the humidification module 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the air treatment device 200 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0114] The housing 210 is provided with an air handling duct, and the humidification module 100 is disposed within the air handling duct. The air handling device 200 also includes a fan module 230 disposed within the air handling duct. The humidification module 100 may be disposed above or below the fan module 230, without specific limitation. To facilitate the installation and removal of the humidification module 100, an opening 211 communicating with the air handling duct can be provided on the housing 210, allowing the humidification module 100 to be removably installed into the air handling duct through the opening 211.

[0115] In one embodiment, to facilitate the installation of the humidification module 100 into the air handling duct, support ribs can be provided on the inner wall of the air handling duct, and a slide rail structure that slidably engages with the support ribs can be provided on the outer wall of the humidification module 100. Thus, by utilizing the slide rail structure on the humidification module 100 in cooperation with the support ribs, the humidification module 100 can be slidably installed from the opening 211 onto the support ribs of the air handling duct. The support ribs serve both as installation guides and as supports.

[0116] Specifically, the slide rail structure is disposed on the outer wall of the second flange 113 of the water receiving tank 110. Here, by making the height of the second flange 113 of the water receiving tank 110 higher than the height of the first flange 112, it can effectively limit the installation of the water tank 180, ensuring the stability and reliability of the water tank 180 installation. On the other hand, it can also realize the overall modularity of the humidification module 100, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the humidification module 100.

[0117] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 26 The slide rail structure may include at least two slide rails 190, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the humidification module 100. Correspondingly, the inner wall of the air handling duct is provided with multiple support ribs, which are also spaced apart along the height direction of the air handling duct. It is worth noting that if the number of slide rails 190 is at least three, such as three, four, or more, a groove 191 can be formed on the middle slide rail to avoid the support ribs.

[0118] Furthermore, in order to achieve multiple different functions of air treatment and meet the different needs of users, the air handling device 200 may also include a purification module 220 (e.g., ...) disposed in the air handling duct. Figure 27As shown in the diagram, the purification module 220 is mainly used to purify substances such as particles, dust, bacteria, viruses, and formaldehyde in the air. The purification module 220 may include at least one of a HEPA filter, a formaldehyde removal filter, a plasma filter, and an activated carbon filter.

[0119] It should be noted that users can select the required purification module 220 and humidification module 100 according to their actual needs. To facilitate the installation of different functional modules into the air duct, a sliding rail structure can also be provided on the purification module 220.

[0120] Please see Figure 28 and Figure 29 The present invention also proposes an air conditioner indoor unit 300, which includes a housing 310 and an air handling device 200 disposed within the housing 310. The air handling device 200 includes a humidification module 100. The specific structure of the humidification module 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the air conditioner indoor unit 300 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0121] The housing 310 includes a front shell 311, a rear shell 312, a top cover 313, and a chassis 314, which together form the housing 310. The housing 310 has an air inlet, an air outlet, and a first air duct connecting the air inlet and the air outlet. The air handling unit 200 is located within the first air duct, and its air handling duct is connected to the first air duct. That is, the first air duct is mainly used for humidifying, disinfecting, and purifying indoor air. Generally, the housing 310 also includes a second air duct, which serves as a heat exchange duct for air conditioning, used to regulate the temperature of the indoor air. It should be noted that the first air duct and the second air duct can be connected, or they can be set up independently.

[0122] In this embodiment, the air inlet includes an outdoor air inlet and / or an indoor air inlet. Thus, the air handling device 200 can not only treat the fresh air entering the air handling duct (e.g., humidify, disinfect), but also treat the indoor air entering the air handling duct (e.g., humidify, disinfect).

[0123] The present invention also proposes an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit 300 and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit 300 includes a housing 310 and an air handling device 200. The air handling device 200 includes a humidification module 100. The specific structure of the humidification module 100 is as described in the above embodiments. Since the indoor unit 300 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0124] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
