[0046] The present application provides an air conditioner.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 In an embodiment of the air conditioner 10 of the present application, the air conditioner 10 comprises a shell 100, a humidifying mechanism 200, a water pipe 300 and an adjusting mechanism 400, the humidifying mechanism 200 is arranged in the shell 100; the water pipe 300 comprises a water inlet end 310 and a water outlet end, the water outlet end is communicated with the humidifying mechanism 200, and the water inlet end 310 is used for being communicated with a water source; the adjusting mechanism 400 is arranged in the shell 100, and the adjusting mechanism 400 is connected with the water pipe 300 to adjust the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300.

[0048] It can be understood that the air conditioner 10 of the present application can be a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, can also be a floor type air conditioner indoor unit, and can also be a window type air conditioner, which is not limited here. Taking the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit as an example for description and introduction, the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is a device for heat exchange of air, for example, for air cooling or heating, which can be installed on the side wall or the top wall of the wall. The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit comprises a heat exchanger and a fan wheel, and the shell 100 is formed with an air inlet and an air outlet, and a air duct is formed in the shell 100, which is communicated with the air inlet and the air outlet. When the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit works, the fan wheel rotates, air enters from the air inlet, passes through the heat exchanger, enters the air duct and is blown out of the shell 100 through the air outlet.

[0049] Further, the humidifying mechanism 200 and the adjusting mechanism 400 can be arranged in the shell 100 or arranged outside the shell 100, which is not limited herein. In the embodiment, the humidifying mechanism 200 is arranged in the shell 100, and the humidifying mechanism 200 is used to evaporate water, and the evaporated water can humidify the air. The humidifying mechanism 200 is formed with an outlet for spraying steam, which can be arranged in the air duct or arranged at the air outlet. In this way, the humidity of the air blown from the air duct to the air outlet can be increased, and thus the air conditioner 10 can humidify the indoor air. It can be understood that the humidifying mechanism 200 includes a humidifier 210, and the humidifier 210 can be a steam generator, which can be one or more of a wet membrane assembly, an ultrasonic assembly or a heating assembly, which is not limited herein. The humidifying mechanism 200 can further include a water pump 220 connected with the water pipe 300 and the humidifier 210. When the water outlet end of the water pipe 300 is lowered to be in contact with the water source, the water pump 220 of the humidifying mechanism 200 can pump water into the humidifier 210. Therefore, by arranging the humidifying mechanism 200, the water pipe 300 and the adjusting mechanism 400, the humidifying mechanism 200 of the air conditioner 10 can be automatically supplied with water, and the user does not need to manually supply water, thereby solving the problem of inconvenience of manual water supply by the user.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the humidifying mechanism 200 includes a humidifier 210, and the external device includes a water pump. When the adjusting mechanism 400 lowers the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 to be in communication with the external water source, the humidifier 210 of the humidifying mechanism 200, the water pipe 300, the external water source and the water pump of the external device are sequentially communicated. At this time, the water pump of the external device can send water into the humidifier 210 through the water pipe 300, thereby realizing the function of automatically supplying water to the humidifying mechanism 200 of the air conditioner 10. Therefore, by arranging the humidifying mechanism 200, the water pipe 300 and the adjusting mechanism 400, the humidifying mechanism 200 of the air conditioner 10 can be automatically supplied with water, and the user does not need to manually supply water, thereby solving the problem of inconvenience of manual water supply by the user.

[0051] In addition, the water outlet end of the water pipe 300 is arranged in the shell 100, the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be adjusted in height, in an embodiment, the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 is completely arranged outside the shell 100, the adjusting mechanism 400 adjusts the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 arranged outside the shell 100 in height; in another embodiment, the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can enter and exit the shell 100, when the water pipe 300 needs to be used, the adjusting mechanism 400 adjusts the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 from inside the shell 100 to outside the shell 100 to communicate with the water source, when the water pipe 300 does not need to be used, the adjusting mechanism 400 adjusts the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 from outside the shell 100 to inside the shell 100 to realize the storage of the water pipe 300. Thus, it can be seen that the present application avoids the situation that the position of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 is relatively low relative to the position of the shell 100, which affects the user, and improves the reliability of the air conditioner 10; and when the water pipe 300 is not used, the water pipe 300 exposed outside the shell 100 affects the appearance, the present application adjusts the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 in height, so that the water pipe 300 can be stored in the shell 100, and the air conditioner 10 is more beautiful.

[0052] Further, the water pipe 300 is connected with the adjusting mechanism 400, the adjusting mechanism 400 can adjust the position of the water pipe 300, so that the height position of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be changed, and the specific structure of the adjusting mechanism 400 is not limited, as long as the adjusting mechanism 400 can change the position of the water pipe 300.

[0053] The technical scheme of the present application sets the humidifying mechanism 200 and the adjusting mechanism 400 on the shell 100, the adjusting mechanism 400 is connected with the water pipe 300, the water pipe 300 includes a water inlet end 310 and a water outlet end, the water outlet end communicates with the humidifying mechanism 200, the water inlet end 310 is used to communicate with the water source, the adjusting mechanism 400 can adjust the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 in height, when the humidifying mechanism 200 needs to be supplied with water, the adjusting mechanism 400 can lower the water outlet end of the water pipe 300 to contact the water source, so that the external water can enter the humidifying mechanism 200 through the water pipe 300; when the humidifying mechanism 200 is finished with water supply, the adjusting mechanism 400 can raise and store the water outlet end of the water pipe 300, such arrangement not only facilitates the water supply of the humidifying mechanism 200 of the air conditioner 10 without manual water supply, but also prevents the water pipe 300 from being exposed outside the shell 100 with a long length to affect the user and affects the appearance due to the long length of the water pipe 300 exposed outside the shell 100. Thus, it can be seen that the present application provides an air conditioner with a humidifying function and convenient water supply.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 3 to 6In an embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 400 comprises a mounting base 410, a first material supporting member 420, a second material supporting member 430 and a driving member 440, the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 are arranged on the mounting base 410 and arranged in an up-down direction, the water pipe 300 is movably arranged on the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430, and the driving member 440 is used to adjust the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430, so that the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be adjusted in height.

[0055] It can be understood that the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 are arranged in an up-down direction, that is, the first material supporting member 420 can be arranged above the second material supporting member 430, or the first material supporting member 420 can be arranged below the second material supporting member 430, which is not limited here. The driving member 440 is used to adjust the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430, and the water pipe 300 is movably arranged on the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430, that is, the driving member 440 can adjust the position of the first material supporting member 420 and / or the second material supporting member 430 on the mounting base 410, so that the length of the water pipe 300 between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 can be changed, and thus the height position of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be changed, that is, the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be adjusted in height.

[0056] Further, the driving member 440 can adjust the position of the first material supporting member 420, so that the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 is changed; the driving member 440 can also adjust the position of the second material supporting member 430, so that the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 is changed; the driving member 440 can also adjust the positions of the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430, so that the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 is changed, which is not limited here and can be set as needed. The number of the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 can be one or more, which is not limited here. The distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 is adjusted by the driving member 440, so that the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 on the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 can be adjusted in height. In this way, the adjusting mechanism 400 adjusts the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 in height in a simple way, and the water pipe 300 is arranged on the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430, and the water pipe 300 is not wound together, avoiding the situation that the water pipe 300 is arranged on a winding disc and is easily wound and knotted, improving the reliability of the adjusting mechanism 400.

[0057] In an embodiment, the first material supporting member 420 is movably installed on the mounting base 410. It can be understood that the first material supporting member 420 can be movably installed on the mounting base 410 in various ways, such as but not limited to: the first material supporting member 420 can be lifted and adjusted by a pneumatic cylinder lifting assembly, or the first material supporting member 420 can be lifted and adjusted by a motor lifting assembly, which is not limited in particular herein. The first material supporting member 420 is arranged above the second material supporting member 430. By adjusting the position of the first material supporting member 420 on the mounting base 410, the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 is adjusted. At this time, the length of the water pipe 300 between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 changes. The water outlet end of the water pipe 300 is fixedly connected to the humidifying mechanism 200. Therefore, the height position of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can change at this time, that is, the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be lifted and adjusted with the upward and downward movement of the first material supporting member 420. In this embodiment, the first material supporting member 420 moves upward, the position of the second material supporting member 430 is unchanged, the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 increases, and at this time the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 rises. The first material supporting member moves downward, the position of the second material supporting member 430 is unchanged, the distance between the first material supporting member 420 and the second material supporting member 430 decreases, and at this time the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 descends. As can be seen, by movably installing the first material supporting member 420 on the mounting base 410, the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 is lifted and adjusted in a simple manner, which is conducive to simplifying the structure of the adjusting mechanism 400.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 6 In an embodiment, the number of the first material supporting members 420 and the number of the second material supporting members 430 are both multiple. The multiple first material supporting members 420 and the multiple second material supporting members 430 are sequentially and spacedly arranged along the length direction of the shell 100. The water pipe 300 is alternately and sequentially overlapped on the multiple first material supporting members 420 and the multiple second material supporting members 430. In this way, the water pipe 300 is arranged multiple times on the multiple first material supporting members 420 and the multiple second material supporting members 430 along the length direction of the shell 100. When the multiple first material supporting members 420 move upward or downward at the same time, the distance between each first material supporting member 420 and the adjacent second material supporting member 430 changes. The sum of the distance changes between the multiple first material supporting members 420 and the multiple second material supporting members 430 is the moving distance of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300. That is, the sum of the distance changes between the multiple first material supporting members 420 and the multiple second material supporting members 430 is the height of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 rising or descending.

[0059] Therefore, the water pipe 300 is arranged in multiple turns along the length direction of the shell 100, the distance between each first material supporting piece 420 and the adjacent second material supporting piece 430 changes, so that the water pipe 300 can be adjusted in the height direction by a corresponding distance. The distance of the water pipe 300 adjusted in the height direction by the distance change between each first material supporting piece 420 and the adjacent second material supporting piece 430 is L, the water pipe 300 is alternatively overlapped on the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 and the multiple second material supporting pieces 430, the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 are simultaneously moved upward or downward, so that the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 is moved upward or downward by the sum of the lengths of multiple L, that is, the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 are moved upward or downward by a short distance, so that the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 can be adjusted in a long distance. The more the number of the first material supporting pieces 420 and the second material supporting pieces 430, the longer the distance of the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 adjusted in the height direction, the adjusting mechanism 400 can adjust the water inlet end 310 of the water pipe 300 in a long distance in a small space, the space occupied by the adjusting mechanism 400 is small, the space utilization of the air conditioner 10 is improved; and the water pipe 300 is overlapped on the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 and the multiple second material supporting pieces 430, the water pipe 300 will not be wound together to form a knot, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 10.

[0060] In an embodiment, the downward vertical projections of the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 and the multiple second material supporting pieces 430 are alternatively arranged along the length direction of the shell 100. That is, a second material supporting piece 430 can be arranged between any two adjacent first material supporting pieces 420, or a first material supporting piece 420 can be arranged between any two adjacent second material supporting pieces 430, the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 and the multiple second material supporting pieces 430 are not in the same horizontal line, the downward vertical projections of the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 and the multiple second material supporting pieces 430 are alternatively arranged along the length of the shell 100, so that the water pipe 300 can be alternatively overlapped on the multiple first material supporting pieces 420 and the multiple second material supporting pieces 430, the part of the water pipe 300 overlapped on the first material supporting pieces 420 and the second material supporting pieces 430 is uniformly stressed, the water pipe 300 can be smoothly moved on the first material supporting pieces 420 and the second material supporting pieces 430, avoiding the water pipe 300 from shaking due to uneven stress when being moved on the first material supporting pieces 420 and the second material supporting pieces 430, thereby improving the stability of the water pipe 300.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 6In an embodiment, the adjusting mechanism 400 further comprises a connecting rod 450, the connecting rod 450 is movably installed on the mounting base 410, a plurality of the first material supporting members 420 are sequentially and spacedly arranged on the connecting rod 450 along the length direction of the housing 100, and the driving member 440 is connected with the connecting rod 450 to drive the connecting rod 450 to move on the mounting base 410.

[0062] It can be understood that the connecting rod 450 can be movably installed on the mounting base 410 in various ways, for example but not limited to: a sliding table assembly is arranged between the connecting rod 450 and the mounting base 410, or a sliding rail 452 assembly is arranged between the connecting rod 450 and the mounting base 410, which is not limited in detail. By installing a plurality of first material supporting members 420 on the connecting rod 450, the driving member 440 can drive the connecting rod 450 to control a plurality of first material supporting members 420 to move up and down at the same time, avoiding the situation of setting a plurality of driving members 440 to drive a plurality of first material supporting members to move up and down, improving the driving efficiency. Moreover, by arranging the connecting rod 450, the consistency of the up and down movement of the plurality of first material supporting members 420 is ensured, and the water pipe 300 can stably move on the plurality of first material supporting members 420, avoiding the situation that the water pipe 300 moves shaking due to the inconsistent distance of the up and down movement of the plurality of first material supporting members 420, improving the stability of the movement of the water pipe 300.
