[0021] The present application will be further described below in conjunction with embodiments, but is not limited to the contents of the description.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application discloses a humidifying assembly, comprising: a housing 1, an airflow channel 11 being formed in the housing 1; a liquid distribution groove 2, the liquid distribution groove 2 being arranged in the airflow channel 11, and the liquid distribution groove 2 being provided with a liquid distribution hole 21; a water inlet 12 being arranged on the housing 1, and the liquid distribution groove 2 being communicated with a water source through the water inlet 12. The liquid distribution groove 2 is used to send liquid (such as water) into the airflow channel 11, thereby humidifying the gas flowing through the airflow channel 11, ensuring the humidity of the indoor fresh air, and improving user comfort.

[0023] The length direction of the liquid distribution groove 2 is the same as the fluid flow direction in the airflow channel 11, thereby increasing the size of the liquid distribution groove 2 to increase the humidifying effect.

[0024] The outer wall surface of the liquid distribution groove 2 is provided as a smooth surface, reducing the resistance of the liquid distribution groove 2 to the gas, and ensuring the reliability of the humidifying assembly.

[0025] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the number of the liquid distribution grooves 2 is at least two, and all the liquid distribution grooves 2 are uniformly distributed in the airflow channel 11. By increasing the number of the liquid distribution grooves 2, the amount of water fed into the airflow channel 11 is increased, and the contact area between the water and the gas in the airflow channel 11 is increased, thereby increasing the humidification effect on the gas.

[0026] Preferably, the liquid distribution grooves 2 are arranged in at least two layers, and in the liquid distribution grooves 2 of adjacent two layers, the liquid distribution grooves 2 of the upper layer are located above the spacing between the adjacent two liquid distribution grooves 2 of the lower layer. That is, the liquid distribution grooves 2 are arranged in staggered manner, so that the liquid distribution effect of the liquid distribution grooves 2 of the upper layer is not affected by the liquid distribution grooves 2 of the lower layer, and the humidification effect is further improved.

[0027] Optionally, the liquid distribution grooves 2 can be arranged in one of the following shapes: circular arrangement, circular hollow arrangement, square arrangement, triangular arrangement, and rhombic arrangement, which is arranged according to actual needs.

[0028] The cross section of the shell 1 can be circular or rectangular, and the liquid distribution grooves 2 are uniformly distributed along the central axis of the shell 1.

[0029] The humidification assembly further comprises a water inlet pipe 13, and all the liquid distribution grooves 2 are communicated with the water inlet 12 through the water inlet pipe 13. The water inlet pipe 13 can be integrally injection molded with the shell 1 and the liquid distribution grooves 2, so that each liquid distribution groove 2 can receive water from the water source and perform liquid distribution humidification.

[0030] The humidification assembly further comprises a support 14, and the liquid distribution grooves 2 are arranged in the airflow channel 11 through the support 14. The support 14 enables the liquid distribution grooves 2 to be distributed at any position of the airflow channel 11, thereby improving the humidification effect on the gas.

[0031] The cross section of the liquid distribution groove 2 is one or more of circular, rectangular, triangular, rhombic, or conical. According to actual needs, the liquid distribution hole 21 of the liquid distribution groove 2 is arranged on the bottom surface of the liquid distribution groove 2, so that the water in the liquid distribution groove 2 can drip and humidify under the action of gravity, thereby reducing the structural complexity of the humidification assembly.

[0032] The water inlet 12 is located above the liquid distribution groove 2. The water from the water source can flow into the liquid distribution groove 2 under the action of gravity, thereby further reducing the structural complexity of the humidification assembly.

[0033] Preferably, a on-off mechanism is arranged at the water inlet 12. When humidification is needed, the on-off mechanism is connected, and water can enter the liquid distribution groove 2 for humidification. When humidification is not needed, the on-off mechanism is disconnected.

[0034] The shell 1 is provided with a liquid outlet hole 15. When the water discharged from the liquid distribution hole 21 is large, part of the water will accumulate at the bottom of the shell 1 and affect the flow area of the air flow passage 11, so the remaining water after humidification is discharged through the liquid outlet hole 15 to ensure the air flow of the humidifying assembly.

[0035] As an embodiment, the end of the liquid distribution groove 2 is provided with a communication port which communicates with the air flow passage 11. The gas in the air flow passage 11 can enter the liquid distribution groove 2 to flow, which improves the contact area of the gas and water and improves the humidification efficiency.

[0036] Another aspect of the present application provides an air conditioning unit comprising the above-mentioned humidifying assembly.

[0037] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application are only examples for clearly illustrating the present application, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present application. Based on the above description, other different forms of changes or variations can be made by those skilled in the art. It is impossible to enumerate all the embodiments here. Any obvious changes or variations derived from the technical solutions of the present application are still within the protection scope of the present application.
