[0048] As Figures 1 to 9As shown, the present embodiment provides a humidifying device 10 for an air conditioner indoor unit 1. The humidifying device 10 comprises an atomizing part 100 and a water receiving part 200. The atomizing part 100 has an atomizing cavity 150 and an outlet part 121 communicating with the atomizing cavity 150. The atomizing cavity 150 is configured to form humidifying fluid therein from water therein; the outlet part 121 is configured to make the humidifying fluid flow out of the atomizing cavity 150 from the outlet part 121.

[0049] The water receiving part 200 has a water receiving cavity 230 configured to receive water droplets falling from the humidifying fluid. At least a water receiving opening 231 of the water receiving cavity 230 is arranged downstream of the atomizing cavity 150 along a flow direction of the humidifying fluid flowing out of the outlet part 121 to receive the water droplets falling from the humidifying fluid.

[0050] In the present embodiment, the type of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is not limited and can be selected as required. For example, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 can be a floor standing air conditioner indoor unit or a wall mounted air conditioner indoor unit. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 the type of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall mounted air conditioner indoor unit. In this embodiment, Figure 1 is a schematic view of a cross section of the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0051] The wall mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1 comprises a casing 20, a blowing device 30 and the humidifying device 10. The casing 20 has an air inlet 21 at a top wall thereof. The blowing device 30 is arranged in the casing 20 and comprises an air duct 31 and a fan 32. The air duct 31 has an inlet at a lower side of the air inlet 21; the fan 32 is arranged at the inlet of the air duct 31 and configured to promote air flow along a path from the air inlet 21 to the inlet of the air duct 31.

[0052] In the present embodiment, the shape of the atomizing part 100 is not limited and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the shape of the atomizing part 100 is cuboid. It is obvious that this is only exemplary and not the only one.

[0053] In the present embodiment, the shape of the atomizing cavity 150 is not limited and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the shape of the atomizing cavity 150 is cuboid. It is obvious that this is only exemplary and not the only one.

[0054] In the present embodiment, the structure of the outlet part 121 is not limited and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the outlet part 121 comprises a plurality of strip-shaped openings arranged in an array. It is obvious that this is only exemplary and not the only one. For example, the outlet part 121 comprises one outlet.

[0055] In the embodiment, the shape of the outlet portion 121 is not limited and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the outlet portion 121 is rectangular, which is merely exemplary and not the only one. For example, the outlet portion 121 can be circular or other irregular shapes.

[0056] In the embodiment, the setting position of the atomizing portion 100 in the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is not limited and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1, the atomizing portion 100 is arranged at the front upper side inside the casing 20.

[0057] In the embodiment, the setting position of the outlet portion 121 is not limited and can be selected as required. For example, the outlet portion 121 is arranged at the front side, rear side, left side or right side of the atomizing cavity 150. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 the outlet portion 121 is arranged at the rear side of the atomizing cavity 150.

[0058] In the embodiment, the shape of the water receiving portion 200 and the water receiving cavity 230 is not limited and can be selected as required. For example, the water receiving portion 200 and the water receiving cavity 230 can be cuboid or other irregular shapes. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the cross section of the water receiving portion 200 and the water receiving cavity 230 is triangular, which facilitates the flow of water droplets to the bottom of the water receiving cavity 230.

[0059] In the embodiment, the shape of the water receiving port 231 of the water receiving cavity 230 is not limited and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the top of the water receiving cavity 230 is open to form the water receiving port 231. It is obvious that this is merely exemplary and not the only one. For example, the shape of the water receiving port 231 is adapted to the shape of the outlet portion 121, or the shape of the water receiving port 231 is adapted to the area covered when the humidifying fluid flows into the water receiving port 231.

[0060] In the embodiment, the setting position of the water receiving port 231 of the water receiving cavity 230 is not limited and can be selected as required. At least part of the outlet portion 121 is located at the upper side of the water receiving port 231 to avoid being blocked by the outlet portion 121. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 8 the water receiving port 231 is located at the lower side of the outlet portion 121.

[0061] In the present embodiment, the humidifying device 10 has a water receiving portion 200, a water receiving cavity 230 and a water receiving port 231. The water receiving port 231 is arranged downstream of the atomizing cavity 150 along the flow direction of the humidifying fluid flowing out of the outlet portion 121 to receive the water droplets falling from the humidifying fluid. This avoids the large water droplets in the humidifying fluid from falling out of the humidifying device 10 during the flow process, thus avoiding wetting the air conditioner indoor unit 1.

[0062] In some other embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1, as shown in Figure 1 The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1 includes a casing 20, a blowing device 30 and the humidifying device 10. The top wall of the casing 20 has an air inlet 21. The blowing device 30 is arranged in the casing 20, and the blowing device 30 includes an air duct 31 and a fan 32. The inlet of the air duct 31 is located at the lower side of the air inlet 21; the fan 32 is located at the inlet of the air duct 31 to facilitate the indoor air to flow along the passage from the air inlet 21 to the inlet of the air duct 31.

[0063] The outlet portion 121 is arranged at the rear side of the atomizing cavity 150, opposite to the passage. The outlet portion 121 is located at the lower side of the air inlet 21 and the upper side of the inlet of the air duct 31 to enable the humidifying fluid to flow into the air duct 31 from the outlet portion 121 under the driving of the fan 32, and to be sent into the room through the outlet of the air duct 31.

[0064] Since the rear side wall is opposite to the passage, and the rear side wall has the outlet portion 121, the outlet portion 121 is opposite to the passage. And since the outlet portion 121 is located at the lower side of the air inlet 21 and the upper side of the inlet of the air duct 31, as shown in Figure 1 the humidifying fluid flows into the air duct 31 from the outlet portion 121 along the dotted line direction under the driving of the fan 32, and is sent into the room through the outlet of the air duct 31. This enables the humidifying device 10 to save a fan for driving the flow of the humidifying fluid, which makes the structure of the humidifying device 10 and the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1 more simple and compact, and enables the humidifying fluid to be dispersed in the room as soon as possible.

[0065] In some other embodiments, the atomizing cavity 150 is in communication with the water receiving cavity 230 to enable the water in the water receiving cavity 230 to flow into the atomizing cavity 150. After the water receiving cavity 230 receives the water droplets falling from the humidifying fluid for a period of time, water is likely to accumulate in the water receiving cavity 230. The atomizing cavity 150 is in communication with the water receiving cavity 230 to enable the water in the water receiving cavity 230 to flow into the atomizing cavity 150, which not only solves the problem of water accumulation in the water receiving cavity 230, but also reuses the water received by the water receiving cavity 230 to form a virtuous cycle.

[0066] In some other embodiments, the atomizing part 100 comprises a bottom wall 110, a first side wall 120 and a second side wall. The first side wall 120 is arranged above the bottom wall 110, and an upper end of the first side wall 120 forms an outlet part 121. The second side wall is arranged above the bottom wall 110, and cooperates with the first side wall 120 and the bottom wall 110 to form an atomizing cavity 150.

[0067] The water receiving part 200 extends from the bottom wall 110 to an outer side of the first side wall 120, and forms a water receiving cavity 230 with the outer side of the first side wall 120. A gap is formed between a lower side of the first side wall 120 and the bottom wall 110, so that the atomizing cavity 150 and the water receiving cavity 230 are in communication.

[0068] In the present embodiment, the shapes of the first side wall 120 and the second side wall are not limited, and the second side wall cooperates with the first side wall 120 and the bottom wall 110 to form the atomizing cavity 150. That is, the shape of the first side wall 120 and the shape of the second side wall are adapted to the shape of the atomizing cavity 150. For example, if the shape of the atomizing cavity 150 is cuboid, the shape of the second side wall is cuboid, and the shape of the first side wall 120 is flat.

[0069] The gap between the lower side of the first side wall 120 and the bottom wall 110 enables the water in the water receiving cavity 230 to flow into the atomizing cavity 150 in time. The water receiving part 200 extends from the bottom wall 110 to the outer side of the first side wall 120, and forms the water receiving cavity 230 with the outer side of the first side wall 120, which makes the structure of the humidifying device 10 compact.

[0070] In some other embodiments, the water receiving part 200 comprises an inclined side wall 210 and two first connecting side walls 220. The bottom side of the inclined side wall 210 is arranged on the bottom wall 110, and the inclined side wall 210 extends from the bottom wall 110 to the outer side of the first side wall 120 in a direction above and away from the outlet part 121 of the humidifying fluid. Figure 1 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in Figs. 16 and 17, the inclined side wall 210 extends upwardly and rearwardly, that is, the inclined side wall 210 extends rearwardly and upwardly. This enables the water droplets in the humidifying fluid to drip along the inclined side wall 210 into the water receiving cavity 230, and facilitates the water in the water receiving cavity 230 to flow into the atomizing cavity 150.

[0071] Two first connecting side walls 220 are respectively arranged between the inclined side wall 210 and the first side wall 120, and are respectively located at two sides of the inclined side wall 210 in the transverse direction, so as to form the water receiving cavity 230 together with the outer side of the first side wall 120 and the inclined side wall 210, and form the water receiving opening 231 at the upper side of the water receiving cavity 230. This makes the structure of the water receiving part 200 simple and compact, and facilitates the water in the water receiving cavity 230 to flow into the atomizing cavity 150.

[0072] In some other embodiments, the humidifying device 10 further comprises a water supply part 300. The water supply part 300 is in communication with the water receiving cavity 230, so as to supply water to the atomizing cavity 150 through the water receiving cavity 230.

[0073] In the present embodiment, the specific components of the water supply part 300 are not limited, and can be selected as required. For example, the water supply part 300 only comprises a water storage part, the water supply part 300 only comprises a water pipe 320, or the water supply part 300 comprises both the water storage part and the water pipe 320. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 the water supply part 300 comprises both the water storage part and the water pipe 320. In the present embodiment, the shape of the water storage part is not limited, and can be selected as required. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 6 the water storage part is a water bottle 310.

[0074] The water supply part 300 is in communication with the water receiving cavity 230, so as to supply water to the atomizing cavity 150 through the water receiving cavity 230, which can avoid the water supply part 300 directly supplying water to the upper side of the atomizing cavity 150, and avoid affecting the formation of the humidifying fluid.

[0075] In some other embodiments, the casing 20 has a connecting part, and the connecting part is used for arranging the water storage part on the outer side of the casing.

[0076] In some other embodiments, the casing 20 extends the connecting part towards the outer side thereof, which facilitates the dismounting and mounting of the water storage part.

[0077] In some other embodiments, the casing 20 extends the connecting part towards the bottom thereof, which facilitates the dismounting and mounting of the water storage part. Since the height of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1 is generally higher than the height of a human body, the casing 20 extends the connecting part towards the bottom thereof to facilitate the dismounting and mounting of the water storage part. Meanwhile, since the atomizing part 100 is located at the upper side of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1, the atomizing part 100 is higher than the water storage part. If the water storage part is directly connected to the bottom side of the atomizing part 100, the water in the atomizing part 100 will flow back to the water storage part. If the water storage part is directly connected to the upper side of the atomizing part 100, the water flow will affect the generation of the humidifying fluid. The water storage part is in communication with the water receiving cavity 230, and the water in the water receiving cavity 230 can naturally flow out of the bottom of the atomizing cavity 150, which can solve the above problems.

[0078] In some other embodiments, the connecting part is in a cylindrical shape, the circumferential surface of the cylindrical connecting part is provided with threads, the water storage part is a water bottle 310, and the bottle mouth of the water bottle 310 is provided with threads; the cylindrical connecting part is screwed with the water bottle 310. This facilitates the dismounting and mounting of the water bottle 310.

[0079] In some other embodiments, the inner side wall of the cylindrical connecting part is provided with threads, and the outer circumferential wall of the bottle mouth of the water bottle 310 is provided with threads so that the water bottle 310 can be detachably arranged in the cylindrical connecting part.

[0080] In some other embodiments, the humidifying device 10 further comprises a bracket 400. The bracket 400 is arranged to be fixed in the air conditioner indoor unit 1, and the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are arranged to be push-pull arranged in the bracket 400. In the present embodiment, the shape and structure of the bracket 400 are not limited, and can be selected as needed. The bracket 400 can only make the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 arranged to be push-pull arranged in the bracket 400. As a specific embodiment, as shown in Figure 9 the bracket 400 is open at the top end, the bracket 400 is open at the front side, and the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are pushed into the bracket 400 from the front side of the bracket 400. It is obvious that this is only exemplary and not the only one. The atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 can be arranged to be push-pull arranged in the bracket 400, which facilitates the dismounting and cleaning of the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200.

[0081] In some other embodiments, the water supply part 300 comprises a water pipe 320, the first end of the water pipe 320 is arranged to be communicated with a water source, and the second end of the water pipe 320 is arranged on the bracket 400; the second end of the water pipe 320 is located above the water receiving port 231 and communicated with the water receiving cavity 230 through the water receiving port 231. As shown in Figure 9 the second end of the water pipe 320 is fixed on the bracket 400, and the second end of the water pipe 320 is located above the water receiving port 231 and communicated with the water receiving cavity 230. When the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are pushed into the bracket 400, the second end of the water pipe 320 can be communicated with the water receiving cavity 230, and the push-pull of the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 is not affected.

[0082] In some other embodiments, the second side wall comprises an air inlet side wall 131 and two second connecting side walls 133. The air inlet side wall 131 is arranged above the bottom wall 110 opposite to the first side wall 120, and has an air inlet part 132 opposite to the outlet part 121. The two second connecting side walls 133 are respectively arranged between the air inlet side wall 131 and the first side wall 120, and surround the atomizing cavity 150 with the air inlet side wall 131, the first side wall 120 and the bottom wall 110. As shown in Figure 8As shown, the air inlet side wall 131 and the first side wall 120 are arranged in parallel, and the two second connecting side walls 133 are arranged in parallel. This makes the shape of the atomization cavity 150 a cuboid, which makes the humidifying device 10 compact in structure.

[0083] The atomization part 100 further comprises a top wall 140, which is arranged on the upper side of the air inlet side wall 131 and the first side wall 120 in a push-pull manner to open or close the upper side opening of the atomization cavity 150. As shown, Figure 7 This facilitates the disassembly and installation of the humidifying device 10.

[0084] In some other embodiments, the bracket 400 comprises a base 410, a third side wall 420, and two fourth side walls 430. The base 410 comprises a first supporting part 411 for supporting the bottom wall 110 and a second supporting part 412 for supporting the inclined side wall 210; wherein the inclination of the second supporting part 412 is the same as the inclination of the inclined side wall 210. As shown, Figure 8 and Figure 9 This makes the first supporting part 411 fit the bottom wall 110 and the second supporting part 412 fit the inclined side wall 210, so that the humidifying device 10 is compact in structure.

[0085] The third side wall 420 is arranged on the base 410 and has an opening part 421 thereon. As shown, Figure 9 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and the third side wall 420 is arranged on the rear side of the base 410, that is, the third side wall 420 is the rear side wall of the bracket 400.

[0086] The two fourth side walls 430 are arranged on the base 410 and located on the opposite sides of the third side wall 420, forming a containing cavity with the third side wall 420 and the base 410. As shown, Figure 9 As shown, the air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and the two fourth side walls 430 are located on the opposite sides of the third side wall 420, that is, the two fourth side walls 430 are located on the two lateral sides of the third side wall 420, that is, the two fourth side walls 430 are located on the left and right sides of the third side wall 420.

[0087] The atomization part 100 and the water receiving part 200 move towards the second side wall to enter the containing cavity and move away from the second side wall to leave the containing cavity, and when the atomization part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are located in the containing cavity, the opening part 421 and the outlet part 121 are arranged opposite to each other to make the humidifying fluid flow out of the opening part 421. The second end of the water pipe 320 is arranged on one of the two fourth side walls 430 and located between the upper side of the water receiving port 231 and the upper side of the first side wall 120 to communicate with the water receiving cavity 230 through the water receiving port 231. As shown, Figure 1As shown, this structure of the bracket 400 saves material and forms a closed space when the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are located in the accommodating cavity.

[0088] In some other embodiments, the two fourth side walls 430 respectively have sliding rails 431 extending in the direction in which the atomizing part 100 moves into the accommodating cavity, so that the top wall 140 moves along the sliding rails 431. As shown, Figure 9 wherein the sliding rails 431 on one of the fourth side walls 430 and the sliding rails 431 on the other fourth side wall 430 are arranged in parallel, and the top wall 140 moves along the sliding rails 431 on the two fourth side walls 430 when the atomizing part 100 is pushed into the accommodating cavity. The air conditioner indoor unit 1 is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit 1, and the sliding rails 431 on the two fourth side walls 430 extend in the front-rear direction.

[0089] When the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are located in the accommodating cavity, the top wall 140 cooperates with the two fourth side walls 430 to close the water receiving opening 231. As shown, Figure 1 This makes the humidifying device 10 convenient to disassemble and assemble, and at the same time, when the atomizing part 100 and the water receiving part 200 are installed in the bracket 400, the atomizing cavity 150 and the water receiving cavity 230 are in a closed state except at the outlet part 121, the inlet part 132 and the opening part 421.

This can avoid the humidifying fluid generator 500 from being burnt out and can ensure that the humidifying function operates normally.

[0093] In some other embodiments, the water supply part 300 further comprises a water pump. The water pump is configured to pump the water in the water storage part into the atomizing cavity 150 when the water level in the atomizing cavity 150 is lower than a second preset water level and the water level in the water storage part is greater than a third preset water level. In the present embodiment, the value of the second preset water level is not limited and can be selected as required. For example, the second preset water level is 20 mm. This can ensure that the water level in the atomizing cavity 150 is within the preset water level range, so as to ensure a better atomization effect.

[0094] In some other embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit is configured to send a prompt signal when the water level in the water storage part is lower than a fourth preset water level. This facilitates the timely addition of water to the water storage part, so as to ensure the smooth progress of the humidification work.
