[0040] Referring to Figure 5In an embodiment, the water-distributing member 7 comprises a plate body and a water-distributing portion, the plate body comprises an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface is connected to the water outlet end of the water supply pipe 2, and the lower surface is directed to the top of the fin, and the water-distributing portion is formed in the plate body and is used to diffuse the liquid water flowing in from the upper surface to the lower surface. Specifically, the water-distributing member 7 is in the shape of a plate and has a plate body with two opposite surfaces, i.e., an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface is used to receive water, and the lower surface is used to water.

It should be noted that the structure of the water-distributing portion in the embodiment can be various, for example, the water-distributing portion can be a porous plate or a labyrinth plate, which is not limited herein, as long as the water-distributing portion can diffuse the liquid water and increase the water outlet area, i.e., as long as the water-distributing portion has the function of the water-distributing portion in the embodiment, it falls within the protection scope of the application. It should be further noted that the width of the plate body in the embodiment is adapted to the width of the fin to ensure that the lower surface of the plate body can completely cover the fin to ensure uniform watering of the liquid water.

[0041] With reference to the above Figure 5 The embodiment provides a more optimal structure of the water-distributing portion, in the embodiment, the water-distributing portion comprises a plurality of layers of net structures, and the plurality of layers of net structures are interwovenly connected.

Specifically, the water guide groove is in the form of a flow channel structure opened on the upper surface of the plate body, which is connected to the water outlet end of the water supply pipe 2. The liquid water flowing out of the water outlet end first flows into the flow channel structure, which is arranged to extend from the water outlet end of the water supply pipe 2 to each area of the upper surface and is communicated to the mesh structure on the top layer, so that the liquid water can flow into the mesh structure along the flow channel. The flow channel structure may, for example, be a structure extending radially from the position of the water outlet end of the water supply pipe 2 to each corner of the upper surface. By providing the water guide groove on the upper surface, the liquid water can be uniformly guided into the mesh structure on the top layer, and then further diffused to the lower surface by the multi-layer mesh structure, realizing two-stage uniform water treatment and greatly improving the uniformity of irrigation.

[0043] With reference to Figure 6 In an embodiment, the water supply device further comprises a functional liquid module 11, which comprises a liquid storage member 12, a liquid injection member 13 and an atomization member 14, the liquid storage member 12 is communicated with the liquid injection member 13 and the atomization member 14, the liquid injection member 13 is used for injecting functional liquid, the liquid storage member 12 is used for storing functional liquid, and the atomization member 14 is used for atomizing functional liquid and is arranged towards the water uniformizing member 7.

Specifically, the compressor 17 preferably adopts a direct current 24V compressor 17, and the throttling device 18 preferably adopts a capillary tube. The evaporator 15 is used to reduce the temperature of outflow air and is also a component for controlling the water content of outflow air. The condenser 16 is a device for reducing the temperature of refrigerant in the pipeline of the condenser 16. The compressor 17 is a core component of the refrigeration system, which converts electric energy into mechanical energy to enable the refrigeration system to run in a cycle. The throttling device 18 is a key component for adjusting the physical property parameters of refrigerant entering the evaporator 15.

[0045] Referring to Figures 1-4 and Figure 11For a clearer description, the embodiment describes the specific structure of the air conditioner from the evaporator 15 side and the condenser 16 side. First, the description is from the evaporator 15 side, in which the evaporator 15 side is mainly composed of an evaporator heat sink 6, an evaporator fan 8, an evaporator water supply pump 1, and a functional liquid module 11. The water supply pump 1 is a power device for supplying liquid water (chilled water) to the evaporator 15. The water supply pipe 2 is a pipeline connecting the water supply pump 1 and the evaporator 15.

The evaporator heat sink 6 is a main component of the evaporator 15, which includes a base plate and a plurality of fins arranged on the base plate and spaced apart from each other. The heat sink functions to exchange heat with air, absorb heat and moisture from the incoming air, reduce the temperature and moisture content of the outgoing air, and is also one of the key components for releasing liquid water (chilled water) to the outgoing air to increase the moisture content of the outgoing air. In addition, the fins of the heat sink are treated with a special surface coating (hydrophilic coating), so that the liquid water (chilled water) can be relatively uniformly distributed on the surface of the fins of the entire heat exchanger. The water distribution device 7 is composed of a plurality of mesh interlaced, which functions to uniformly irrigate the chilled water to the fins of the evaporator 15, so that the chilled water on the fins of the evaporator 15 is uniformly distributed. The specific structure of the water distribution device 7 has been described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be described here. The fan 8 is a power component of the heat exchanger, which promotes heat and moisture exchange between air and the heat exchanger. The inlet / outlet of the fan 8 9, air enters the fan 8 from the component (it should be noted that for the evaporator 15, the component is the air inlet). The functional liquid module 11 includes a liquid storage device 12, a liquid injection device 13, and an atomizing device 14. The main function of the functional liquid module 11 is to store and release aromatherapy liquid / anti-mosquito liquid.

Water uniform 7, the component is by a plurality of mesh interwoven, its role is to pour the cooling water evenly to the condenser 16 fin, so that the condenser 16 fin on the cooling water distribution is uniform, water uniform 7 specific structure has been described in detail in the above embodiment, hereinafter will not be elaborated. Fan 8 is the power component of the heat exchanger module, to make the air and heat exchanger heat and moisture exchange; fan 8 inlet / outlet 9, the air from the component into the fan 8 (note that for the condenser 16, the component is the exhaust port).

[0047] Compared with the existing mobile air conditioner, under the condition of the same size space, since the sizes of the two devices (evaporator and condenser) are fixed, that is, the heat exchange areas of the two devices are fixed, the operating frequency range of the compressor is determined, and the rotating speed of the two device fans is determined, it can be known according to the basic heat and mass transfer theory that the heat exchange capacity of the air conditioner is a known range under the existing conditions. According to the heat and mass transfer theory, the specific heat capacity of water is much greater than that of air, and the heat exchange capacity of evaporation heat exchange and direct heat conduction is stronger than that of convection heat exchange. The embodiment is based on the related heat and mass transfer theory, and a water supply device is additionally arranged in the two device components of the air conditioner. The direct effect obtained in this way is that the heat exchange mode of the air conditioner heat exchanger is changed from the existing air-fin convection heat exchange (sensible heat) to air-water-fin evaporation heat exchange (latent heat) + convection heat exchange (sensible heat) in the scheme, so that the heat exchange capacity of the two devices can be improved to a certain extent. Moreover, the embodiment can also improve the humidity control capacity of the portable air conditioner and other expansion functions. Specifically, by adjusting the water supply amount provided by the water supply device to the two devices, the humidity content of the air flow is adjusted to achieve the effect of humidity control. As for the expansion of the aromatherapy function, the anti-mosquito function and the like, the function liquid module can be combined with the fan, and the aromatherapy module or the anti-mosquito module is mixed in the air flow of the air conditioner to achieve the effect of the aromatherapy function or the anti-mosquito function of the air conditioner. In general, the portable air conditioner of the embodiment improves the heat exchange mode of the two devices by arranging the corresponding water supply device in the two devices, improves the heat exchange effect of the heat exchanger, and based on the control method of the embodiment, the control of the water supply device can realize the functions of strengthening heat exchange, humidity control, aromatherapy and mosquito prevention.

[0048] The embodiment of the present application provides a control method of a portable air conditioner. The portable air conditioner of the embodiment is the portable air conditioner described in the above embodiment, and the specific structure is described in detail in the above embodiment, which will not be repeated here.

[0049] Reference Figure 13It should be particularly noted that the structural framework of the portable air conditioner control system in this embodiment includes: a user setting module, a central control module, a timing module, and an actuator module. The user setting module can receive user-defined air conditioner control commands through the air conditioner's signal acquisition device. The signal acquisition device includes, but is not limited to, signal transmission devices such as buttons, remote controls, and mini-programs. The air conditioner control commands include, but are not limited to, the air conditioner's operating mode, fan speed, and operating time. The air conditioner's operating modes include, but are not limited to: cooling mode, auxiliary cooling mode, enhanced heat exchange mode, fan mode, sleep mode, aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, and humidity control mode (dehumidification mode, gentle humidity mode, and water replenishment mode). The fan speeds include, but are not limited to: fan speed 1, fan speed 2, fan speed 3, and fan speed 4. The operating times include, but are not limited to: 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, 180 min, 240 min, and 300 min. The central control module is the control hub for data reception, processing, and transmission in the air conditioner. Its specific functions include receiving user-defined control commands, processing them according to built-in control logic, and then sending the processed commands to the timing module and actuator module. The timing module controls the actuator module to start and stop operation for preset durations. Its function is to receive user-defined commands, process them through the central control module, and then send corresponding commands to the timing module. The timing module executes the commands and sends feedback back to the central control module. The central control module further processes the feedback information and sends the processed commands to the actuator module. The actuator module executes the commands under the unified control of the central control module and the timing module. The actuator module specifically refers to the working components of the air conditioner, including but not limited to the compressor, fan, radiator, water pump, and functional liquid module.

[0050] The control logic flow of the air conditioner can be simplified as follows: the user sets the operating command, the central control module receives and processes the operating command, the timing module receives the timing command, and the actuator module receives and executes the operating command. Specifically, if the user-set operating command requires access to the timing module, the central control module sends the timing command to the timing module. Upon receiving the command from the central control module, the timing module processes the relevant timing command and sends feedback back to the central control module. The central control module then combines the timing module's command with the execution command to the actuator module. In this mode, the actuator is jointly controlled by the central control module and the timing module. If the user-set operating command does not require access to the timing module, the central control module directly sends the timing command to the actuator module. In this mode, the actuator is controlled only by the central control module.

[0051] The above describes the control logic flow using the structural framework of a control system. The following describes the control method of this embodiment using specific software program execution steps. Specifically, in this embodiment, as... Figure 14 As shown, the control method includes the following steps S110-S120.

[0052] S110: Receive user-defined control commands.

[0053] S120. Control the operation of the water supply pump and / or the functional liquid module according to the control command.

[0054] In this embodiment, the control command refers to the user-defined command used to control the operation of the air conditioner. For example, it may include the operating mode, operating time, and fan speed; of course, it can also be other commands. The control command can be set via a remote control, mobile phone, tablet, or other terminal. After receiving the control command, the air conditioner can operate according to the user-defined command. Specifically, the control command can be used to control the operation of the water pump. When the water pump is running, it draws liquid water from the storage tank and supplies it to the water distribution component. The water distribution component evenly pours the liquid water onto the fins of the heat exchanger, thereby achieving evaporative heat dissipation, improving the heat exchanger's heat exchange capacity, and enabling the air conditioner to operate in a high-power heat exchange mode, solving the problems of limited heat exchange capacity and insufficient temperature control. The control command can also be used to adjust the operating parameters of the water pump. By increasing or decreasing the operating parameters of the water pump, the water supply to the heat exchanger can be increased or decreased, thereby improving the humidity control capability of the portable air conditioner. This feature addresses issues such as insufficient or limited humidity control modes, effectively improving the humidity control capabilities of portable air conditioners. The control command can also be used to control the operation of the functional liquid module, allowing the released functional liquid to be delivered from the air conditioner's vents for extended functions (such as aromatherapy and mosquito repellency). Furthermore, the control command can control the water pump and functional liquid module to operate simultaneously, enabling the air conditioner to perform extended functions while simultaneously executing strong heat exchange or humidity control, thus transforming the portable air conditioner into a single unit integrating airflow, temperature control, humidity control, aromatherapy, and mosquito repellency.

[0055] Since the water pump and functional liquid module need to work in conjunction with other components in the air conditioner to achieve proper functioning, this embodiment designs a set of control logic to control the air conditioner in order to ensure that the water pump and functional liquid module can provide their corresponding functions correctly. The main design concept is to configure control priorities for each operating mode of the air conditioner. Different operating modes have different operating parameters, and lower priority operating modes depend on the operation of higher priority operating modes to be activated. By operating in descending order of priority, it is ensured that each operating mode can be successfully activated and achieve its respective function.

[0056] In this embodiment, the control command includes an operating mode and a priority corresponding to the operating mode. The operating modes, arranged in descending order of priority, include a first-level operating mode, a second-level operating mode, and a third-level operating mode. The first-level operating mode, the second-level operating mode, and the third-level operating mode are activated sequentially and / or skipped levels according to the priority order to control the operation of the water pump and / or the functional liquid module. Specifically, when the second-level operating mode is running, the water pump is in operation; when the third-level operating mode is running, the functional liquid module is in operation.

[0057] Specifically, Level 1 operating modes include cooling mode, fan mode, sleep mode, and humidity control mode; Level 2 operating modes include auxiliary cooling mode, enhanced heat exchange mode, dehumidification mode, gentle humidification mode, and water replenishment mode; Level 3 modes include aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode. Level 1 operating modes refer to control commands that can be directly used by the air conditioner's operating control program, such as selecting cooling mode, fan mode, or sleep mode directly after the air conditioner is turned on. Level 2 operating modes, on the other hand, can only be invoked after the Level 1 operating mode commands have been activated. For example, to activate the enhanced heat exchange command in Level 2 operating mode, the air conditioner must have already selected or executed the cooling mode in Level 1 operating mode; otherwise, the enhanced heat exchange mode cannot be executed. In other words, activating Level 2 operating modes depends on the air conditioner already operating in Level 1 operating mode; that is, Level 2 operating modes must be activated sequentially from Level 1 to Level 2 operating modes. For example, the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode can function as either a secondary or tertiary operating mode. When the air conditioner is set to fan mode (primary operating mode), the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode can be activated directly as a secondary operating mode, thus achieving cross-level activation. However, if the air conditioner is running in cooling or humidity control mode, the corresponding secondary operating mode must be selected first before the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode can be activated. In this mode, the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode functions as a tertiary operating mode, activating sequentially from primary to secondary to tertiary operating modes.

[0058] In summary, the first-level operating mode in this embodiment can be used as an independent operating mode, or it can be upgraded to the second-level and third-level operating modes. The second-level operating mode can only be started after the first-level operating mode is enabled. The third-level operating mode can be started directly by enabling the first-level operating mode and skipping the second-level operating mode, or the first-level operating mode can be enabled first and then the second-level and third-level operating modes can be enabled step by step.

[0059] It should be noted that the fan dampers in this embodiment can be adjusted independently, without being constrained by priority order. The fan dampers are directly controlled by the central control module, and their function is to be used in conjunction with various operating modes. After activating any operating mode, the user can set the fan damper parameters through the central control module. The fan damper parameters include: damper 1, damper 2, damper 3, and damper 4. The air volume parameters for each damper are as follows: the effective air volume range of damper 1 is 65-85 m³ / h, with a preferred value of 75 m³ / h; the effective air volume range of damper 2 is 85-105 m³ / h, with a preferred value of 95 m³ / h; the effective air volume range of damper 3 is 105-125 m³ / h, with a preferred value of 115 m³ / h; and the effective air volume range of damper 4 is 125-145 m³ / h, with a preferred value of 135 m³ / h. Preferably, after the user activates any operating mode, the fan will default to operating at fan speed 1. The user can adjust the target speed by setting the operating speed through the central control module.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 15 As shown, if the control command received from the user is a control command for the first-level operation mode, the control method further includes step S121.

[0061] S121. Activate the first-level operation mode to control the operation of the compressor and / or fan.

[0062] Specifically, the primary operating modes include cooling mode, fan mode, sleep mode, and humidity control mode. If the air conditioner receives a user-set control command for a primary operating mode, since primary operating modes have the highest priority and can operate independently, the air conditioner can be controlled directly according to the primary operating mode. Different primary operating modes control different components; for example, fan mode controls only the fan, while cooling mode controls both the fan and compressor. Therefore, when controlling the air conditioner, the operation of the corresponding components is controlled according to the user-set primary operating mode.

[0063] For example, when the user only turns on the first-level cooling mode, the air conditioner operates in this mode as follows: the compressor is on and running at a speed of 70-90Hz, with 80Hz being the preferred value; the evaporator fan operates at the default fan speed of 1, and the user can change the fan speed as needed (the user can choose from fan speeds 2, 3, and 4); the preferred air volume of the condenser fan is 110m³ / h; and the other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0064] For example, when a user turns on the first-level fan mode, the air conditioner operates in this mode: the evaporator fan speed is set to the default speed 1, and the user can then change the fan speed as needed (the user can select fan speeds including speed 2, speed 3, and speed 4); the other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0065] For example, when a user activates the first-level sleep mode, the air conditioner operates as follows: the compressor is running, with a speed range of 30-50Hz, preferably 40Hz; the evaporator fan operates at the default speed of 1, which the user can then change as needed (the user can select speeds 2, 3, and 4); the condenser fan's airflow is preferably 80m³ / h; and all other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 15 As shown, if the control command received from the user is a control command for the second-level operation mode, step S120 further includes: S122-S123.

[0067] S122. Determine whether the air conditioner is currently in Level 1 operating mode;

[0068] S123. If the air conditioner is currently in the first-level operation mode, the second-level operation mode is activated to control the operation of the compressor, fan and water pump.

[0069] In this embodiment, the secondary operating modes include auxiliary cooling mode, enhanced heat exchange mode, dehumidification mode, gentle humidification mode, and water replenishment mode. If the air conditioner receives a user-defined control command for secondary operating mode, since secondary operating mode does not have the highest priority, it cannot operate independently and must be activated while the air conditioner is already in primary operating mode. Therefore, it is first necessary to determine the current operating mode of the air conditioner. If the air conditioner is already in primary operating mode, then secondary operating mode can be activated. Different secondary operating modes have different control objects. For example, the control objects of dehumidification mode are only the compressor and fan, while the control objects of water replenishment mode include the fan, compressor, and water pump. Therefore, when controlling the air conditioner, the operation of the corresponding components is controlled according to the user-defined secondary operating mode.

[0070] For example, after the user activates the first-level cooling mode, they select to start the second-level auxiliary cooling mode. In this mode, the air conditioner operates as follows: the compressor starts running, with a compressor speed range of 70-90Hz, preferably 80Hz; the evaporator fan operates at the default fan speed of speed 1, which the user can then change as needed (the user can select fan speeds including speed 2, speed 3, and speed 4); the preferred air volume of the condenser fan is 110m³ / h; the evaporator water pump supplies water to the evaporator module at a rate of 5mL / min; and all other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0071] For example, after a user activates the first-level cooling mode and selects to start the second-level enhanced heat exchange mode, the air conditioner operates in the following mode: the compressor starts running, with a compressor speed range of 80-100Hz, preferably 90Hz; the evaporator fan operates at the default fan speed of speed 1, which the user can then change as needed (the user can select fan speeds including speed 2, speed 3, and speed 4); the preferred air volume of the condenser fan is 130m³ / h; the evaporator water pump supplies water to the evaporator module at a rate of 5mL / min; the condenser water pump supplies water to the condenser module at a rate of 10mL / min; and all other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0072] For example, after a user activates the first-level humidity control mode, they select to start the second-level dehumidification mode. In this mode, the air conditioner operates as follows: the compressor starts running, with a compressor speed range of 90-110Hz, and the preferred value is 100Hz; the evaporator fan operates at the default fan speed of speed 1, and the user can change the fan speed as needed (the user can select fan speeds including speed 2 and speed 3); the preferred air volume of the condenser fan is 100m3 / h; and the other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0073] For example, after a user activates the first-level humidity control mode, they can select to start the second-level gentle humidity mode. In this mode, the air conditioner operates as follows: the compressor starts running, with a compressor speed range of 50-70Hz, preferably 60Hz; the evaporator fan operates at the default fan speed of speed 1, which the user can then change as needed (the user can select fan speeds including speed 2, speed 3, and speed 4); the preferred air volume of the condenser fan is 100m³ / h; the evaporator water pump supplies water to the evaporator module at a rate of 3mL / min; and all other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0074] For example, after the user activates the first-level humidity control mode, they select to start the second-level water replenishment mode. In this mode, the air conditioner operates as follows: the compressor starts running, with a compressor speed range of 50-70Hz, preferably 60Hz; the evaporator fan operates at the default fan speed of speed 1, and the user can change the fan speed as needed (the user can select fan speeds including speed 2, speed 3, and speed 4); the preferred air volume of the condenser fan is 100m3 / h; the evaporator water pump supplies water to the evaporator module at a rate of 10mL / min; and other actuators not mentioned are in a stopped state.

[0075] In one embodiment, such as Figure 15 As shown, if the control command received from the user is a control command for a three-level operating mode, step S120 further includes: S124-S126.

[0076] S124. Determine whether the air conditioner is currently in a first-level operation mode or a second-level operation mode;

[0077] S125. If the air conditioner is currently in the first-level operation mode, the third-level operation mode is activated to control the operation of the fan and the water pump.

[0078] S126. If the air conditioner is currently in the second-level operation mode, the third-level operation mode is activated to control the operation of the compressor, fan, water pump and functional liquid module.

[0079] In this embodiment, the three operating modes include an aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode. If the air conditioner receives a user-defined control command for the three operating modes, since the three operating modes have the lowest priority, they cannot operate independently and must be in either the first or second operating mode before activation. Therefore, it is first necessary to determine the current operating mode of the air conditioner. If the air conditioner is already in either the first or second operating mode, then the three operating modes can be activated.

[0080] For example, users can activate the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode when some primary operating modes or a combination of primary and secondary operating modes are enabled. In this embodiment, the settings that enable the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode when the primary operating mode is enabled include: cooling mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, fan mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, and sleep mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode. In this embodiment, the settings that enable the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode when the primary operating mode is enabled plus a combination of secondary operating modes include: cooling mode + auxiliary cooling mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, cooling mode + enhanced heat exchange mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, humidity control mode + gentle humidity mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, and humidity control mode + hydration mode + aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode. In this embodiment, if the user activates the humidity control mode + dehumidification mode, the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode cannot be activated. When the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode is activated, the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent module releases aromatherapy liquid / mosquito repellent liquid into the evaporator module at a rate of 0.5 mL / min, which is then blown out by the evaporator fan.

[0081] In one embodiment, such as Figure 16 As shown, the control command includes the running time corresponding to the running mode, and the control method further includes steps S130-S140.

[0082] S130. Determine whether the running time corresponding to the third-level running mode is greater than the running time corresponding to the first-level running mode.

[0083] S140. If the operating time corresponding to the third-level operating mode is greater than the operating time corresponding to the first-level operating mode, the third-level operating mode is controlled to stop operating when the air conditioner exits the first-level operating mode.

[0084] In this embodiment, after setting the air conditioner's operating mode, the user can choose whether to execute a timing command. If the timing command is not executed, the air conditioner will continue to operate under the user-set conditions, and the system will not shut down. If the timing command is executed, the user sets the air conditioner's operating time parameters, and the timing module will then execute the timing command. After the timer module completes the timing command's time limit, it sends a command to the central control module. The central control module then executes a shutdown command, and the air conditioner will stop operating until the user restarts it. In other words, the user can set the operating time for each operating mode, and when the set operating time is reached, the operating mode will exit.

[0085] The user-set operating time parameters for the air conditioner include: 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, 180 min, 240 min, and 300 min. These operating time parameters are divided into two categories: one category, 5 min, 10 min, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 120 min, are independent timing settings for the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent module; the other category, 15 min, 30 min, 60 min, 120 min, 180 min, 240 min, and 300 min, are timing settings for cooling mode, fan mode, sleep mode, and humidity control mode.

[0086] The purpose of setting independent timer parameters for the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode is to allow users to re-set the running time of the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode when the air conditioner is running in any of the following modes: cooling, fan, sleep, or humidity control. This allows users to meet their needs for releasing functional liquids only for a short period of time.

[0087] If an air conditioner is running in any of the following modes (cooling, fan, sleep, or humidity control) and a timer is set, and a timer for the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode is also set, the two timers will not affect each other if the set time for any of these modes is longer than the user-set time for the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode. However, if the set time for any of these modes is shorter than the user-set time for the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode, the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode will also stop running when the air conditioner exits any of these modes. In other words, when the air conditioner exits a primary operating mode, the primary operating mode also stops, preventing the aromatherapy / mosquito repellent mode from running continuously and causing excessive consumption of the fragrance / mosquito repellent liquid.

[0088] In one embodiment, when the air conditioner is operating in the gentle humidity mode, the water supply pump rotates at a first speed; when the air conditioner is operating in the water replenishment mode, the water supply pump rotates at a second speed; wherein the first speed is less than the second speed. Specifically, when the water supply pump is operating in the gentle humidity mode, it rotates at the first speed and supplies water to the evaporator module at a rate of 3 mL / min; when the water supply pump is operating in the water replenishment mode, it rotates at the second speed and supplies water to the evaporator module at a rate of 10 mL / min. By adjusting the speed of the water supply pump, the water supply volume is controlled, thereby improving the humidity control capability and providing flexible and diverse humidity control modes.
