[0041] Embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to several examples illustrated in the attached drawings, wherein like or similar elements are denoted by the same or similar reference numbers throughout the drawings. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0042] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplicity, the elements and settings of the particular examples below are described in some detail. Of course, they are merely examples and are intended to teach a person of ordinary skill in the art how to make and use the technology and are not intended to limit the present application. Further, the present application can be implemented in a variety of environments and the examples below are not intended to be limiting. Like numbers used in the figures refer to like or similar elements throughout the figures. Additionally, the present application can provide various examples of specific processes and materials. One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that other processes and / or materials can be used.

[0043] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 Fig. 1, an air conditioner subunit 100 according to a first aspect of the present application includes an ice storage water tank 10, a humidification water tank 20, a heat exchange assembly 30, a humidification assembly 40, and a pump water system 50.

[0044] The ice storage water tank 10 has an ice storage cavity therein, and the ice storage water tank 10 has a first water outlet 12 and a return water port 13 that are in communication with the ice storage cavity. The ice storage cavity is used to store ice water mixture. For example, ice cubes can be directly injected into the ice storage cavity, or a portion of water in the ice storage cavity can be frozen into ice cubes by setting an evaporator in the ice storage cavity. The air conditioner subunit 100 utilizes the cold energy stored in the ice cubes to cool the space around the air conditioner subunit 100, thereby achieving targeted temperature regulation of the target area and improving user experience.

[0045] The ice block is easy to obtain, for example, can be obtained from the air conditioner master machine 200, or the user directly injects into the air conditioner sub-machine 100, thereby facilitating the use of the air conditioner sub-machine 100. At the same time, the ice block made of water is an easy-to-make cold storage article. The ice block only needs to use raw material water, and the ice block will only produce water after melting, without considering the problem of pollution, thereby not considering the sealing problem of the air conditioner sub-machine 100. And the raw material water is also an easy-to-get material, which can be obtained from the refrigerator, or the user can obtain it from the ice cabinet. Or the user can buy water or other liquid frozen ice bag or ice box. The user is easy to obtain, which improves the user experience.

[0046] The humidification water tank 20 has a water storage cavity, and the humidification water tank 20 has a second water outlet 22 communicating with the water storage cavity. The water storage cavity is used to store water or mixed liquid of water, etc.

[0047] The heat exchange assembly 30 includes a heat exchange flow channel 31 and a heat exchanger 32 arranged in the heat exchange flow channel 31. The water inlet of the heat exchange flow channel 31 is located upstream of the heat exchanger 32 and is a first water inlet 31a. The water outlet of the heat exchange flow channel 31 is located downstream of the heat exchanger 32 and is connected to the water return port 13. Wherein, upstream and downstream are relative to the flow direction of the liquid in the heat exchange flow channel 31. The water inlet of the heat exchange flow channel 31 is located upstream of the heat exchanger 32, that is, the liquid flows into the heat exchange flow channel 31 from the water inlet and then flows into the heat exchanger 32. The water outlet of the heat exchange flow channel 31 is located downstream of the heat exchanger 32, that is, the liquid flows out of the heat exchanger 32 into the heat exchange flow channel 31 and then flows out from the water outlet. It can be understood that the contact area of the heat exchanger 32 with the surrounding space is larger than that of the pipeline, thereby increasing the heat exchange effect.

[0048] The humidification assembly 40 includes a humidification piece 41 and a water supply flow channel 42 for supplying water to the humidification piece 41. The water inlet of the water supply flow channel 42 is a second water inlet 42a. The humidification piece 41 increases the water vapor density of the surrounding space, thereby increasing the humidity, and adding the humidification function to the air conditioner sub-machine 100. The air conditioner sub-machine 100 can be moved to the target area to humidify the target area, thereby improving the user experience.

[0049] The pump water system 50 includes a water pump 51 and a switching assembly 52. The switching assembly 52 is used to switch at least one of the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22 to communicate with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and at least one of the first water inlet 31a and the second water inlet 42a to communicate with the outlet 51b of the water pump 51.

[0050] It can be understood that there is liquid, such as water, in the ice storage water tank 10. The liquid exchanges heat with the ice block in the ice storage water tank 10. The liquid after heat exchange flows to the heat exchanger 32 under the action of the water pump 51, thereby exchanging heat with the surrounding space of the air conditioner sub-machine 100, and achieving the cooling of the surrounding space of the air conditioner sub-machine 100.

[0051] The switching assembly 52 can control the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22 to be in communication with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and control the first water inlet 31a and the second water inlet 42a to be in communication with the outlet 51b of the water pump 51, so as to realize the connection of the ice storage water tank 10 and the humidification water tank 20 with the heat exchange assembly 30 and the humidification assembly 40 in multiple combinations, and realize multiple modes, thereby adapting to different user needs and improving user experience.

[0052] For example, in the first mode, the switching assembly 52 can control the first water outlet 12 to be in communication with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and control the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 to be in communication with the first water inlet 31a, so as to connect the ice storage water tank 10 with the heat exchanger 32, and flow the liquid in the ice storage water tank 10 to the heat exchanger 32 under the action of the water pump 51, thereby controlling the temperature of the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100 and achieving the effect of cooling.

[0053] For example, in the second mode, the switching assembly 52 can control the first water outlet 12 to be in communication with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and control the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 to be in communication with the second water inlet 42a, so as to connect the ice storage water tank 10 with the humidification piece 41, and flow the liquid in the ice storage water tank 10 to the humidification piece 41, thereby providing the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100 with water vapor of a lower temperature, so as to achieve the effect of humidification and the effect of slight cooling.

[0054] For example, in the third mode, the switching assembly 52 can control the first water outlet 12 to be in communication with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and control the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 to be in communication with the first water inlet 31a and the second water inlet 42a at the same time, so as to connect the ice storage water tank 10 with the heat exchanger 32 and the humidification piece 41 at the same time, thereby regulating the temperature of the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100 while providing the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100 with water vapor of a lower temperature, so as to achieve the effects of humidification and cooling.

[0055] For example, in the fourth mode, the switching assembly 52 can control the second water outlet 22 to be in communication with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and control the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 to be in communication with the second water inlet 42a, so as to connect the humidification water tank 20 with the humidification piece 41, and flow the liquid in the humidification water tank 20 to the humidification piece 41, thereby providing the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100 with water vapor of a normal temperature, so as to achieve the effect of humidification.

[0056] For example, in the fifth mode, the switching assembly 52 can control the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22 to be in communication with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and control the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 to be in communication with the first water inlet 31a, so as to connect the ice storage water tank 10 and the humidification water tank 20 with the heat exchanger 32 at the same time, thereby realizing the water replenishment of the ice storage water tank 10 by the humidification water tank 20, reducing the frequency of replenishing water from the outside of the ice storage water tank 10, and improving user experience.

[0057] Of course, when the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22 are communicated with the inlet 51a of the water pump 51, and the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 is communicated with the first water outlet 12 and the second water inlet 42a at the same time, the water supplementing effect is also achieved. Of course, there can be more modes, which are not described here.

The three-way valve has the fourth interface 5221, the fifth interface 5222 and the sixth interface 5223, the fourth interface 5221 is connected with the outlet 51b of the water pump 51 through the fourth pipeline 56, the fifth interface 5222 is connected with the first water inlet 31a, and the sixth interface 5223 is connected with the second water inlet 42a, the three interfaces of the fourth interface 5221, the fifth interface 5222 and the sixth interface 5223 are respectively connected with different pipelines, so that the different pipelines are controlled separately, the misoperation caused by connecting the different interfaces with the same pipeline is avoided, and the control reliability is improved. Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the first water outlet 12 is located at the lower side of the ice storage tank 10, and the backwater outlet 13 is located at the top or upper side of the ice storage tank 10; and / or, the second water outlet 22 is located at the lower side of the humidification water tank 20. By locating the first water outlet 12 at the lower side of the ice storage tank 10, the requirement for the liquid level height in the ice storage cavity is reduced, and the problem of liquid not flowing out due to a low liquid level in the ice storage tank 10 is avoided. By locating the backwater outlet 13 at the top or upper side of the ice storage tank 10, the height of the backwater outlet 13 is higher, and the liquid in the ice storage cavity is prevented from flowing out from the backwater outlet 13. By locating the second water outlet 22 at the lower side of the humidification water tank 20, the requirement for the liquid level height in the water storage cavity is reduced, and the problem of liquid not flowing out due to a low liquid level in the humidification water tank 20 is avoided.

[0069] For example, ice blocks are stored in the ice storage cavity, the ice blocks are in a floating state, the backwater outlet 13 is located at the top of the ice storage tank 10, the height of the backwater outlet 13 is higher, so that the liquid in the ice storage cavity will not flow out, the liquid flowing from the heat exchanger 32 to the ice storage cavity has a high temperature, the ice blocks in the ice storage cavity are in a floating state, and the ice blocks and the liquid with a high temperature exchange heat, the first water outlet 12 is located at the lower side of the ice storage tank 10, so that the ice blocks and the liquid with a high temperature exchange heat sufficiently, and the low height of the first water outlet 12 reduces the requirement for the liquid level height in the ice storage cavity, so that even a small amount of liquid can flow out from the first water outlet 12; at the same time, the second water outlet 22 is located at the lower side of the humidification water tank 20, and the low height of the second water outlet 22 reduces the requirement for the liquid level height in the water storage cavity, so that even a small amount of liquid can flow out from the second water outlet 22.

[0070] Of course, the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22 are not limited to being located at the lower side, and as long as the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22 are at a low height, the same effect can be achieved. For example, the first water outlet 12 is located at the bottom of the ice storage tank 10, and the second water outlet 22 is located at the bottom of the humidification water tank 20, and the same effect will not be described here again. The backwater outlet 13 is not limited to being located at the top of the ice storage tank 10, and as long as the backwater outlet 13 is at a high height, the same effect can be achieved. For example, the backwater outlet 13 is located at the upper side of the ice storage tank 10, and other details will not be described here again.

[0071] As shown in FIG. 1, the ice storage tank 10 is connected to the humidification water tank 20 through the heat exchanger 32, and the ice storage tank 10 and the humidification water tank 20 are connected through the backwater outlet 13 and the first water outlet 12 and the second water outlet 22. Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the ice storage tank 10, the humidification tank 20, the water pump 51, and the switching component 52 constitute the lower component, and the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifier 41 constitute the upper component. The upper component is located above the lower component. By setting the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifier 41 above the ice storage tank 10, the humidification tank 20, the water pump 51, and the switching component 52, the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifier 41 are at a higher height, which improves the temperature and humidity control capability of the air conditioning unit 100. At the same time, it lowers the center of gravity of the air conditioning unit 100, which improves the stability of the air conditioning unit 100. It is understood that the ice storage tank 10 stores ice and liquid, and the humidification tank 20 stores liquid. The ice storage tank 10 and the humidification tank 20 are heavy, and the liquid will inevitably shake during the movement of the air conditioner unit 100, causing the center of gravity to change. This invention improves the stability of the air conditioner unit 100 by setting the ice storage tank 10 and the humidification tank 20 at a lower height, so that the center of gravity of the air conditioner unit 100 is at a lower height.

[0072] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, specifically, the humidifying water tank 20 is located on one side of the ice storage water tank 10 in the first direction F1, and the water pump 51 and the switching assembly 52 are located on the same side of the ice storage water tank 10 in the second direction F2. The second direction F2 is perpendicular to the first direction F1. By setting the water pump 51 and the switching assembly 52 on the same side of the ice storage water tank 10, the water pump 51 and the switching assembly 52 are concentrated in the same place, which facilitates assembly and maintenance, and at the same time shortens the length of the interconnected pipelines.

[0073] For example, the first direction F1 is the left-right direction, with the humidifying water tank 20 located to the left of the ice storage water tank 10. The second direction F2 is the front-back direction, with the water pump 51 and the switching component 52 located in front of the ice storage water tank 10. The water pump 51 and the switching component 52 are all concentrated in one place in the air conditioning unit 100. There are no obstructions between the switching component 52, the water pump 51, the ice storage water tank 10, and the humidifying water tank 20, which facilitates the connection between the switching component 52, the water pump 51, the ice storage water tank 10, and the humidifying water tank 20, and shortens the total length of the pipes in the air conditioning unit 100.

[0074] like Figure 8 As shown, more specifically, the air conditioner sub-unit 100 also includes: a base assembly 60, the base assembly 60 including a base 61, and a lower assembly disposed on the base 61, combined with... Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the base 61 includes a base plate 610 and a surrounding plate 611 disposed at the edge of the base plate 610 and surrounding the lower assembly. The humidifying water tank 20 is oriented relative to the base 61 in a second direction F2 away from the water pump 51 and the switching assembly 52 (e.g., Figure 1 and Figure 3The rear side shown in the middle) can be pulled out, and the surrounding plate 611 has a gap 612 for avoiding the humidification water tank 20 to be pulled out. By setting the humidification water tank 20 to be pulled out relative to the base 61, the humidification water tank 20 is convenient to replace and replenish water. The lower assembly is arranged on the base 61, and the base 61 is provided with a surrounding plate 611 surrounding the lower assembly, thereby limiting the lower assembly, and facilitating the assembly of the air conditioner sub-machine 100.

[0075] It should be noted that the base assembly 60 can also include a bottom disc 63 and wheels 62 supported below the bottom disc 63, and the base 61 can be arranged on the bottom disc 63 to obtain the support of the bottom disc 63. It can be understood that the wheels 62 are arranged to facilitate the movement of the air conditioner sub-machine 100, and the wheels 62 can be connected to a motor to drive the air conditioner sub-machine 100 to move automatically, thereby further improving the user experience.

[0076] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 In some embodiments, the air conditioner sub-machine 100 further includes a fan assembly 70, and the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 are arranged on the ventilation path of the fan assembly 70. The ventilation path includes the air inlet path and / or the air outlet path of the fan assembly 70. By arranging the fan assembly 70, the flow rate of the ambient air around the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 is increased, and the speed of temperature and humidity adjustment of the air conditioner sub-machine 100 is improved.

[0077] For example, the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 are arranged on the air inlet path. The heat exchanger 32 cools the space around itself, and the humidifying piece 41 humidifies the space around itself. When the fan assembly 70 works, the fan assembly 70 sucks the air cooled by the heat exchanger 32 and the air humidified by the humidifying piece 41 around the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41, or the fan assembly 70 causes the airflow to flow through the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 to obtain cooling and humidification, and then the fan assembly 70 blows the cooled and humidified air into the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100, thereby realizing cooling and humidification of the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100.

[0078] For another example, the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 are arranged on the air outlet path. The heat exchanger 32 cools the space around itself, and the humidifying piece 41 humidifies the space around itself. When the fan assembly 70 works, the fan assembly 70 blows the airflow outward. Because the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 are arranged on the air outlet path, the airflow blown by the fan assembly 70 carries the air cooled by the heat exchanger 32 and the air humidified by the humidifying piece 41, or the fan assembly 70 causes the airflow to be sent to the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 to obtain cooling and humidification, and then the cooled and humidified air is carried to the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100, thereby realizing cooling and humidification of the space around the air conditioner sub-machine 100.

[0079] For example, both the air inlet and outlet paths are equipped with heat exchangers 32 and humidifiers 41. The heat exchanger 32 cools the space around it, and the humidifier 41 humidifies the space around it. When the fan assembly 70 is working, the fan assembly 70 draws in the cooled air around the heat exchanger 32 and the humidified air around the humidifier 41. Then, the airflow blown out by the fan assembly 70 carries the cooled air from the heat exchanger 32 and the humidified air from the humidifier 41. Finally, the fan assembly 70 blows the cooled and humidified air into the space around the air conditioner sub-unit 100, thereby achieving cooling and humidification of the space around the air conditioner sub-unit 100.

[0080] Of course, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments, one of the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifier 41 may be disposed in the air inlet path of the fan assembly 70, and the other of the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifier 41 may be disposed in the air outlet path. Alternatively, one of the air inlet path and the air outlet path of the fan assembly 70 may be provided with both the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifier 41, while the other of the air inlet path and the air outlet path of the fan assembly 70 may be provided with only the heat exchanger 32 or the humidifier 41. And so on, without further examples.

[0081] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the fan assembly 70 may include a centrifugal fan 71, and the heat exchange assembly 30 includes two heat exchangers 32, which are respectively located on both axial sides of the centrifugal fan 71. At least one heat exchanger 32 has a humidifying element 41 on the side near and / or away from the centrifugal fan 71. The humidifying element 41 includes a wet film 411, and a water supply channel 42 supplies liquid to the top of the wet film 411. Optionally, for example, each heat exchanger 32 may have a humidifying element 41 on the side away from the centrifugal fan 71. By providing two heat exchangers 32 and two humidifying elements 41, and with heat exchangers 32 and humidifying elements 41 on each axial side of the centrifugal fan 71, the structure is compact while improving the performance of the air conditioning unit 100. The centrifugal fan 71 is a double-suction centrifugal fan. The axial sides of the centrifugal fan 71 are typically its suction inlets. This invention provides a heat exchanger 32 and a humidifier 41 on each axial side of the centrifugal fan 71, fully utilizing its characteristics and function. Compared to providing only one side of the centrifugal fan 71 with a heat exchanger 32 and humidifier 41, this invention achieves the same effect while reducing the overall volume. The humidifier 41 may include a wet film 411. A water supply channel 42 supplies liquid to the top of the wet film 411. Under its own gravity, the liquid at the top of the wet film 411 automatically flows from top to bottom, evaporating water vapor during the flow to humidify the surrounding space. This invention extends the liquid flow path by providing the water supply channel 42 to the top of the wet film 411, improving the humidification effect of the humidifier 41.

[0082] As Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner sub-machine 100 further comprises a water collection assembly, which comprises a water pan 81 and a water drainage channel 82, the water pan 81 is located below at least one of the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41, and the water drainage channel 82 connects the water pan 81 to the humidifying water tank 20. By setting the water collection assembly to recover liquid and guide the liquid into the humidifying water tank 20, the frequency of external water replenishment of the air conditioner sub-machine 100 is reduced. It should be noted that there is dust in the air, and the liquid recovered by the water collection assembly has been contaminated by dust. The present application connects the water pan 81 to the humidifying water tank 20 to guide the recovered liquid into the humidifying water tank 20. Compared with connecting the water pan 81 to the ice storage water tank 10, the ice storage water tank 10 has higher sealing requirements to preserve cold energy. If the water pan 81 is connected to the ice storage water tank 10, the sealing of the ice storage water tank 10 will be damaged if the ice storage cavity is frequently opened for cleaning. The present application connects the water pan 81 to the humidifying water tank 20, which has no sealing requirement. The humidifying water tank 20 can be frequently opened for cleaning, thereby improving the service life.

[0083] For example, the water pan 81 is located below the heat exchanger 32, which has a temperature difference with the surrounding space. It can be understood that there may be condensate water on the heat exchanger 32. The water pan 81 is arranged below the heat exchanger 32 to catch the dripping condensate water and recover the condensate water into the humidifying water tank 20 to supplement the liquid in the storage cavity, thereby reducing the frequency of external water replenishment of the storage cavity. Alternatively, the water pan 81 is below the humidifying piece 41. When humidifying the surrounding space, part of the liquid in the humidifying piece 41 may not evaporate. The water pan 81 is arranged below the humidifying piece 41 to catch the unevaporated liquid and recover the unevaporated liquid into the humidifying water tank 20 to supplement the liquid in the storage cavity, thereby reducing the frequency of external water replenishment of the storage cavity. Alternatively, the water pan 81 is below the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41. The heat exchanger 32 has a temperature difference with the surrounding space, and there may be condensate water on the heat exchanger 32. When humidifying the surrounding space, part of the liquid in the humidifying piece 41 may not evaporate. The water pan 81 is arranged below the heat exchanger 32 and the humidifying piece 41 to catch the dripping condensate water and the unevaporated liquid, and recover the condensate water and the unevaporated liquid into the humidifying water tank 20 to supplement the liquid in the storage cavity, thereby further reducing the frequency of external water replenishment of the storage cavity.

[0084] As Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the water collecting assembly can further include a water treatment device 83 arranged on the water drainage flow channel 82. The water treatment device 83 is arranged on the water drainage flow channel 82 to treat the liquid on the water drainage flow channel 82, so as to avoid pollution of the water storage cavity and reduce the cleaning frequency. Dust basically exists in the environment. The wet film 411 on the humidifying piece 41 needs to be in full contact with air to diffuse water vapor into the air. The wet film 411 will inevitably contact dust. Especially when liquid exists on the wet film 411, the liquid will absorb dust. The liquid that has not evaporated will contain dust. The water treatment device 83 is arranged to treat the liquid, so as to avoid pollution of the water storage cavity by dust and reduce the cleaning frequency of the water storage cavity. Of course, the present application is not limited to this. A water filtration device or the like can also be arranged in the humidifying water tank 20 to replace the water treatment device 83 arranged on the water drainage flow channel 82, so as to realize purification treatment of the water circulation.

[0085] As shown in Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the water collecting tray 81 is provided with a water drainage opening 811. The water inlet of the water drainage flow channel 82 is connected to the water drainage opening 811. The water outlet of the water drainage flow channel 82 is connected to the humidifying water tank 20. The water drainage opening 811 is arranged to connect the water inlet of the water drainage flow channel 82, so as to guide the liquid in the water collecting tray 81 to the humidifying water tank 20.

[0086] As shown in Figure 5 , in some embodiments, the water collecting tray 81 includes two water collecting portions 812 arranged at intervals and a communication portion 813 connected between the end portions of the two water collecting portions 812. The two water collecting portions 812 and the communication portion 813 define a ventilation space 814 therebetween. Each water collecting portion 812 defines a water collecting groove 8121. The communication portion 813 defines a communication groove 8131. The two water collecting grooves 8121 are connected through the communication groove 8131. The water drainage opening 811 is arranged on the bottom wall of one of the water collecting grooves 8121. The water drainage opening 811 is arranged on the bottom wall of the water collecting groove 8121, so that the liquid in each water collecting groove 8121 can flow into the water drainage flow channel 82, thereby avoiding the liquid from remaining in the water collecting groove 8121 to breed bacteria. The communication portion 813 is arranged to communicate the water collecting portions 812, so as to uniformly discharge the liquid in the water collecting tray 81 through one water drainage opening 811, thereby avoiding the arrangement of multiple water drainage flow channels 82 and simplifying the pipeline arrangement.

[0087] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 5It is to be noted that each water receiving part 812 is provided with a humidifying member 41 and a heat exchanger 32; alternatively, one water receiving part 812 is provided with a humidifying member 41 and the other water receiving part 812 is provided with a heat exchanger 32; or, one water receiving part 812 is provided with a humidifying member 41 and a heat exchanger 32, and the other water receiving part 812 is provided with a heat exchanger 32 or a humidifying member 41, etc. For example, in some specific examples, each water receiving part 812 is provided with a humidifying member 41 and a heat exchanger 32, and two water receiving parts 812 are provided with two humidifying members 41 and two heat exchangers 32, so as to increase the temperature adjusting and humidifying effect of the air conditioner sub-machine 100; alternatively, one water receiving part 812 is provided with a humidifying member 41 and the other water receiving part 812 is provided with a heat exchanger 32, so as to simplify the structure of the air conditioner sub-machine 100 and facilitate maintenance.

[0088] As shown in Figure 5 The centrifugal fan 71 can be arranged in the ventilation space 814, and the two water receiving parts 812 are arranged on the two sides of the centrifugal fan 71 in the axial direction. Each water receiving groove 8121 includes a first sub-groove 8122 and a second sub-groove 8123 extending along the length direction of the water receiving part 812. The second sub-groove 8123 is arranged on the side of the first sub-groove 8122 away from the ventilation space 814. The upper side of each first sub-groove 8122 is provided with a heat exchanger 32, and the upper side of each second sub-groove 8123 is provided with a humidifying member 41. By arranging the first sub-groove 8122 to receive the condensed water on the heat exchanger 32 and the second sub-groove 8123 to receive the liquid not evaporated on the humidifying member 41, the function of the water receiving groove 8121 is more clear and convenient for cleaning in the later stage.

[0089] As shown in Figure 5 More specifically, the side wall of each first sub-groove 8122 near the one end of the length direction of the first sub-groove 8122 close to the communication part 813 is provided with a communication port 8124 communicating with the corresponding second sub-groove 8123. The bottom wall of one end of the length direction of one second sub-groove 8123 close to the communication part 813 is provided with a drain port 811. By arranging the communication port 8124 to communicate the first sub-groove 8122 and the second sub-groove 8123, the liquid in the first sub-groove 8122 can flow into the second sub-groove 8123, so as to realize the flow of the liquid in the water receiving groove 8121. By arranging the drain port 811 on the one end of the second sub-groove 8123 close to the communication part 813, the path length of the liquid flowing from the other second sub-groove 8123 to the drain port 811 is reduced, so as to facilitate the discharge of the liquid.

[0090] As shown in Figure 5 Optionally, the water receiving tray 81 is an integral part and further includes a partition part 815 arranged above each water receiving part 812. The partition part 815 is arranged between the centrifugal fan 71 and the heat exchanger 32. By arranging the water receiving tray 81 as an integral part, the manufacturing process is reduced and the cost is lowered.

[0091] AsFigure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the humidifying component 40 may further include an outer frame 43, which includes a first upper frame 431 located above the humidifying element 41 and a first lower frame 432 located below the humidifying element 41. The first upper frame 431 has a water tank and water permeable holes 434 on the bottom wall of the water tank. The first lower frame 432 has a drain outlet 435. The water supply channel 42 supplies water to the water tank. By setting the water permeable holes 434, the liquid can flow evenly onto the humidifying element 41, thereby improving the humidification effect of the humidifying element 41. By setting the drain outlet 435, the unevaporated liquid on the humidifying element 41 can be recovered, thereby improving the utilization rate of the liquid.

[0092] like Figure 7 As shown, the humidifier 41 may further include an inner frame 412, which includes a second upper frame 413 located above the wet film 411 and a second lower frame 414 located below the wet film 411. The second upper frame 413 has a water distribution groove 415 and water distribution holes 416 located on the bottom wall of the water distribution groove 415. The second lower frame 414 has an open opening 417. There are multiple water permeable holes 434 and multiple water distribution holes 416, which are spaced apart along the top length direction of the wet film 411. The water permeable holes 434 drip water into the water distribution groove 415, and the water distribution holes 416 drip water into the wet film 411. By setting multiple water permeable holes 434 and multiple water distribution holes 416, the liquid is distributed more evenly on the wet film 411, further improving the humidification effect of the humidifier 41. By setting the open opening 417, the liquid leaking from the drain hole 435 drips further downward, realizing the receiving function of the water tray 81 and improving the utilization rate of the liquid.

[0093] like Figure 8 As shown, according to the second aspect of the present invention, the air conditioner assembly 1000 includes an air conditioner main unit 200 and an air conditioner sub-unit 100.

[0094] The air conditioning unit 200 includes an air temperature regulating component and has a compartment 202 inside. The air conditioning unit 200 itself has an air temperature regulating component, and the air conditioning unit 200 regulates the temperature of the surrounding space through the air temperature regulating component.

[0095] The air conditioner sub-unit 100 is the air conditioner sub-unit 100 mentioned above. The air conditioner sub-unit 100 has a stored state that is housed in the engine compartment 202 and an independent state that is located outside the engine compartment 202. In the stored state, the air conditioner main unit 200 can charge and / or store ice for the air conditioner sub-unit 100.

[0096] The air conditioner master machine 200 adjusts the temperature of the surrounding space, but the air conditioner master machine 200 is generally placed in a fixed position, and it takes a certain time to adjust the temperature of the entire space to the target temperature, the air conditioner slave machine 100 provided by the application has an independent state, and the air conditioner slave machine 100 can be moved out of the air conditioner master machine 200 when in the independent state, and the air conditioner slave machine 100 is moved to an area that needs to be quickly adjusted in temperature, so that the temperature of the area is quickly adjusted, and user experience is improved.

[0097] When the air conditioner slave machine 100 is in the storage state, the air conditioner master machine 200 can charge the air conditioner slave machine 100, or the air conditioner master machine 200 can store ice for the air conditioner slave machine 100, or the air conditioner master machine 200 can charge and store ice for the air conditioner slave machine 100 at the same time, and the like.

[0098] When the air conditioner slave machine 100 is in the independent state, the air conditioner slave machine 100 can return to the cabin 202 of the air conditioner master machine 200 to charge after the power is almost consumed, the air conditioner slave machine 100 can return to the cabin 202 of the air conditioner master machine 200 to store ice after the cold capacity is almost consumed, even if the power of the air conditioner slave machine 100 is relatively sufficient, the air conditioner slave machine 100 can return to the cabin 202 of the air conditioner master machine 200 when it does not need to continue to work, even if the cold capacity of the air conditioner slave machine 100 is relatively sufficient, the air conditioner slave machine 100 can return to the cabin 202 of the air conditioner master machine 200 when it does not need to continue to work, so that the occupation of the indoor space by the air conditioner slave machine 100 is avoided.

[0099] In the prior art, the air conditioner slave machine usually uses two circuits to control the heat exchange assembly and the humidifying assembly separately, two water pumps 51 are used in the two circuits, the water pump 51 has a large volume and high cost, the application makes a single water pump 51 realize the supply to the heat exchange assembly 30 and the humidifying assembly 40 through the setting of the switching assembly 52, the overall structure is simple, the cost is reduced, the manufacturing process of the air conditioner slave machine 100 is simplified, the assembly is facilitated, the space of the water pump 51 is saved, the ice storage water tank 10 can be appropriately increased, and the performance of the air conditioner slave machine 100 is improved.

[0100] According to the air conditioner assembly 1000 of the application, the air conditioner slave machine 100 of the first aspect is set, a single water pump 51 can control the air conditioner slave machine 100 to realize multiple modes, the structure of the air conditioner slave machine 100 is simplified, the cost is reduced, the assembly is facilitated, the manufacturing process is reduced, the applicable scene is enriched, and user experience is improved.

[0101] As Figure 9As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner main machine 200 includes an ice making system, the ice storage water tank 10 is provided with a water supply port 14 and an ice injection port 15 which are in communication with the ice storage cavity, and the shell 90 of the air conditioner sub-machine 100 is provided with a first docking port 91 which is in communication with the water supply port 14 and a second docking port 92 which is in communication with the ice injection port 15. In the storage state, the first docking port 91 and the second docking port 92 are both in communication with the ice making system, and the ice making system is adapted to take water from the ice storage cavity through the first docking port 91 and supply ice to the ice storage cavity through the second docking port 92. In other words, the ice making system in the air conditioner main machine 200 can extract the water melted by ice in the ice storage cavity from the water supply port 14 to make ice, and the ice obtained by ice making can be sent back to the ice storage cavity of the air conditioner sub-machine 100 through the ice injection port 15. By providing the ice making system on the air conditioner main machine 200, the ice supply to the air conditioner sub-machine 100 is facilitated, and the user does not need to make ice alone, thereby improving the convenience and the degree of automation of the air conditioner assembly 1000.

[0102] It can be understood that the ice made by water freezing is an easy-to-store cold storage product, and the ice only needs to use raw material water, and the ice will only produce water after melting, without considering the problem of pollution, so that the sealing problem of the first docking port 91 and the second docking port 92 when they are docked with the ice making system does not need to be considered. Moreover, the raw material water is also an easily obtained material, which is relatively easy for the user to obtain, and the air conditioner main machine 200 also generates condensed water during refrigeration, which can collect the condensed water to reduce the number of times of manually supplementing water by the user, thereby improving the user experience.

[0103] Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, for example, in other embodiments, the ice making system is not shown in the figure, the air conditioner main machine 200 includes a water supply system and a refrigeration system, the ice storage water tank 10 is provided with a water supply port 14, a first refrigerant pipe port and a second refrigerant pipe port which are in communication with the ice storage cavity, and the shell 90 of the air conditioner sub-machine 100 is provided with a first docking port 91 which is in communication with the water supply port 14, a third docking port and a fourth docking port, the first docking port 91 is in communication with the water supply port 14, the third docking port is in communication with the first refrigerant pipe port, and the fourth docking port is in communication with the second refrigerant pipe port. In the storage state, the first docking port 91 is docked with the water supply system, and the water supply system is adapted to supplement water to the ice storage cavity through the first docking port 91, and the third docking port and the fourth docking port are respectively docked with the refrigeration system to enable the evaporator to be connected to the refrigeration system. Thus, by providing the evaporator in the ice storage cavity, the evaporator makes ice in the ice storage cavity by using the refrigerant transmitted by the air conditioner main machine 200, thereby reducing the consumption of cold energy of the ice during transmission from the air conditioner main machine 200 to the air conditioner sub-machine 100. Of course, the evaporator can also make cold water in the ice storage cavity by using the refrigerant.

[0104] It can be understood that the air conditioner master machine 200 itself has an air temperature adjusting assembly, which usually uses refrigerant for heat exchange to perform refrigeration. In the present application, the air conditioner master machine 200 has a refrigeration system, which is connected to the third and fourth interfaces to transmit refrigerant. The refrigerant enters the evaporator in the ice storage cavity, and the refrigerant exchanges heat with the water around the evaporator to produce ice blocks. The refrigeration system can use refrigerant with the air temperature adjusting assembly, which improves the utilization rate of refrigerant. Of course, the refrigeration system and the air temperature adjusting assembly can also be independent. The refrigeration system includes a separate condenser, compressor, throttling element, etc., which is not described here.
