Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0059] The following is for reference. Figures 1-19 An air purifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.
[0060] like Figures 1-19 As shown, the air purifier 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing 10, a purification module 20, a first fan module 30, a second fan module 40, and a humidification module 50. A first chamber 11 is provided inside the housing 10, and a second chamber 12 is also provided inside the housing 10. In the height direction of the air purifier 100, the height direction of the air purifier 100 is... Figure 18 In the vertical direction, the first chamber 11 is located above the second chamber 12. The first chamber 11 is provided with a first air inlet 111 and a first air outlet 112, both of which can communicate with the first chamber 11. The second chamber 12 is provided with a second air inlet 121 and a second air outlet 122, both of which can communicate with the second chamber 12.
[0061] The first fan module 30 is disposed within the first chamber 11, and the purification module 20 is disposed within the first chamber 11. The purification module 20 can be configured as an air purifier. When the first fan module 30 is working, air from outside the air purifier 100 flows into the first chamber 11 through the first air inlet 111. The air flowing into the first chamber 11 is purified by the purification module 20, and the purified air flows out of the air purifier 100 through the first air outlet 112. For example, when the air purifier 100 is working in cooling mode, the first fan module 30 is working. When the air purifier 100 is working, the first fan module 30 is working.

[0062] The second fan module 40 is disposed within the second chamber 12, below the first fan module 30, with its air outlet facing upwards. Alternatively, the air outlet of the second fan module 40 can be understood as facing upwards towards the air purifier 100. The humidification module 50 is disposed within the second chamber 12, above the second fan module 40, and can be positioned between the first fan module 30 and the second fan module 40.
[0063] The humidification module 50 includes a base 51, a water tank 56, a humidifying component 53, a water trough component 52, an electrode module 55, and an air guide component 54. The base 51 is located on top of the second fan module 40. Furthermore, the base 51 can be fixedly mounted on the second fan module 40. For example, the base 51 can be installed on the second fan module 40 by bolts, or the base 51 can be snapped onto the second fan module 40. The assembly method of the base 51 and the second fan module 40 is not specifically limited, as long as the base 51 can be fixedly installed on the second fan module 40. Furthermore, the base 51 is provided with a clearance opening 551, which is directly opposite to the air outlet of the second fan module 40. The air guide 54 is connected to the second air outlet 122 and the clearance opening 551 respectively. The air guide 54 can guide the air to the second air outlet 122. It should be noted that when the second fan module 40 is working, the gas outside the air purifier 100 flows into the second chamber 12 through the second air inlet 121. The gas flowing into the second chamber 12 flows to the second air outlet 122 through the air outlet of the second fan module 40, the clearance opening 551, and the air guide 54. The gas in the second chamber 12 flows out of the air purifier 100 from the second air outlet 122.
[0064] The water tank component 52 is mounted on the base 51 and is removably mounted on the base 51. The water tank component 52 is movable relative to the base 51. The water tank 56 is mounted on the water tank component 52 and can store water. The water tank 56 can supply water to the water tank of the water tank component 52. The electrode module 55 is used to electrolyze the salt water in the water tank of the water tank component 52, thereby generating hypochlorous acid (hypochlorous acid solution) in the water tank. The humidifier 53 is used to guide the hypochlorous acid (hypochlorous acid solution) into the air guide component 54. When the second fan module 40 is working, external air flows into the second chamber 12 through the second air inlet 121. The air flowing into the second chamber 12 then flows into the air guide 54 through the air outlet and clearance port 551 of the second fan module 40. Since the humidifier 53 guides hypochlorous acid into the air guide 54, the air flowing through the air guide 54 carries the hypochlorous acid out through the second air outlet 122, allowing it to diffuse into the external environment of the air purifier 100. This achieves sterilization and disinfection of the indoor environment, effectively improving indoor hygiene. Furthermore, when the air comes into contact with hypochlorous acid, the hypochlorous acid sterilizes and disinfects the air, further improving the indoor air environment. Additionally, when objects need sterilization and disinfection, the second air outlet 122 is aimed at the object to be sterilized or disinfected. The hypochlorous acid flowing from the second air outlet 122 can directly fall onto the object, achieving sterilization and disinfection.
[0065] It should be noted that, in this application, by placing the humidification module 50 above the second fan module 40, compared with the prior art, the height of the humidification module 50 can be increased in the height direction of the air purifier 100. This allows the humidification module 50 to be closer to the middle of the air purifier 100. When the user pulls out the water tank component 52, the user does not need to bend over to touch the water tank component 52, making it easier for the user to pull out the water tank component 52. This improves the user experience of the air purifier 100, increases user satisfaction, and avoids user complaints.
[0066] Therefore, by placing the humidification module 50 on top of the second fan module 40, the height of the humidification module 50 can be increased, allowing the humidification module 50 to be closer to the middle of the air purifier 100, making it easier for users to pull out the humidification module 50, thereby improving the user experience of the air purifier 100.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrode module 55 can be disposed on the base 51 or the air guide 54. That is, the electrode module 55 can be disposed on the base 51 or on the air guide 54. The placement of the electrode module 55 can be selected according to the actual situation. This application uses the electrode module 55 disposed on the base 51 as an example for description. The electrode module 55 may include a rotatable electrode 551. For example, when the electrode module 55 is disposed on the base 51, the electrode 551 is rotatable relative to the base 51. The electrode 551 extends into the water tank of the water tank component 52. When the water tank component 52 is pulled out, the electrode 551 rotates to avoid the movement of the water tank component 52. Further, as Figure 1 As shown, the lower end of the electrode 551 extends into the water tank of the water tank 52. When the user pulls out the water tank 52, the impact between the water tank 52 and the electrode 551 causes the electrode 551 to rotate at a certain angle, which allows the electrode 551 to avoid the movement trajectory of the water tank 52. This achieves the effect of avoiding the water tank 52 during the process of pulling out the water tank 52, thus ensuring that the water tank 52 can be pulled out smoothly.
[0068] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, the air guide 54 may include a first part 541 and a second part 542. The first part 541 is fixed to the base 51 and communicates with the clearance opening 551 to change the air outlet direction. The second part 542 is fixed to the water tank 52. When the water tank 52 moves, the second part 542 can move synchronously with the water tank 52. The humidifying element 53 can be disposed within the second part 542. Wherein, as... Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the first part 541 is open, and the front end of the first part 541 is also open. The open end of the lower end of the first part 541 is connected to the clearance opening 551, and the open end of the front end of the first part 541 is adapted to connect with the second part 542. After the gas is blown upward from the air outlet of the second fan module 40, it flows into the first part 541. The gas in the first part 541 flows towards the open end of the front end of the first part 541, thereby changing the air outlet direction. Furthermore, when the water tank component 52 is pulled out, the water tank component 52 can be pulled out together with the water tank 56 and the humidifier component 53, eliminating the need to pull out the water tank 56 and the humidifier component 53 separately, which can further improve the user experience of the air purifier 100.
[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 5 As shown, a water-retaining flange 521 can be provided on the side of the water tank component 52 facing the first part 541, and the humidifying component 53 can be provided on the side of the water-retaining flange 521 away from the first part 541. Here, the side of the water tank component 52 facing the first part 541 refers to... Figure 5The rear side of the water tank component 52, the side of the water-retaining flange 521 away from the first part 541 refers to... Figure 5 The front side of the 521 central water-retaining flange. It should be noted that, as... Figure 5 As shown, according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the humidifying element 53 is configured as a wet film 538. The wet film 538 has the ability to absorb water from the water tank of the water tank 52. After the electrode module 55 electrolyzes the salt water in the water tank of the water tank 52 to generate hypochlorous acid solution, the wet film 538 will adsorb the hypochlorous acid solution onto itself due to the self-absorption characteristics of the wet film 538. After the gas flows into the second part 542 from the first part 541, the gas in the second part 542 flows through the wet film 538. When the gas in the second part 542 flows through the wet film 538, it carries the hypochlorous acid solution on the wet film 538 and flows towards the second air outlet 122, so that the hypochlorous acid diffuses into the external environment of the air purifier 100. Furthermore, in this application, by setting the humidifier 53 on the side of the water-blocking flange 521 away from the first part 541, when liquid drips from the humidifier 53, the water-blocking flange 521 can block the dripping liquid, allowing the liquid on the humidifier 53 to drip into the water tank, thus preventing the liquid on the humidifier 53 from dripping into the second fan module 40.
[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 11 As shown, the air guide 54 is fixed on the base 51. The air guide 54 may be provided with an inlet 543 located above the water tank. Further, the air guide 54 has a bottom wall opposite to the water tank. The bottom wall of the air guide 54 is provided with a clearance hole, which communicates with the interior of the air guide 54. The clearance hole is constructed as an inlet 543. The humidifier 53 may be provided on the water tank 52, and a part of the structure of the humidifier 53 extends into the air guide 54 through the inlet 543. Further, a part of the structure of the humidifier 53 may extend into the water tank of the water tank 52. When the second fan module 40 is working, the gas outside the air purifier 100 flows into the second chamber 12 through the second air inlet 121. The gas flowing into the second chamber 12 flows into the air guide 54 through the air outlet and the clearance port 551 of the second fan module 40. Since a part of the structure of the humidifier 53 extends into the air guide 54 through the extension port 543, the humidifier 53 can guide hypochlorous acid into the air guide 54. When the gas flows through the air guide 54, it can carry the hypochlorous acid on the humidifier 53 out from the second air outlet 122, so that the hypochlorous acid diffuses into the external environment of the air purifier 100, thereby achieving the effect of sterilization and disinfection of the indoor environment and effectively improving the indoor environmental hygiene.
[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 11As shown, the humidifier 53 is rotatably mounted on either the water tank 52 or the air guide 54. That is, the humidifier 53 can be mounted on either the water tank 52 or the air guide 54. The mounting position of the humidifier 53 can be selected according to actual conditions. This application uses the example of the humidifier 53 being mounted on the water tank 52 for illustration. When the humidifier 53 is mounted on the water tank 52, it can be pulled out along with the water tank 52. Furthermore, after a portion of the humidifier 53 comes into contact with hypochlorous acid, it rotates into the air guide 54. It should be noted that after a portion of the humidifier 53 comes into contact with hypochlorous acid, the rotation of the humidifier 53 allows the portion of the humidifier 53 in contact with hypochlorous acid to rotate into the air guide 54, achieving the technical effect of bringing the hypochlorous acid from the water tank of the water tank 52 into the air guide 54. Furthermore, by rotating the humidifier 53, the hypochlorous acid in the water tank of the water tank 52 can be continuously brought into the air guide 54.
[0072] According to the second embodiment of the humidifier 53 of the present invention, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the humidifier 53 may include: a plurality of wet film elements 531 arranged at intervals around a pivot axis 534. Rotation of the humidifier 53 allows the plurality of wet film elements 531 to sequentially extend into the water tank. Further, the humidifier 53 may also include: a mounting shaft 536, on which the plurality of wet film elements 531 are disposed. There may be four wet film elements 531, which are arranged evenly spaced in the circumferential direction of the mounting shaft 536 and extend in the axial direction of the mounting shaft 536. By rotating the humidifier 53, the plurality of wet film elements 531 sequentially extend into the water tank, and the plurality of wet film elements 531 sequentially carry the hypochlorous acid in the water tank of the water tank 52 into the air guide 54. The hypochlorous acid solution is diffused to the outside of the air purifier 100 by the gas in the air guide 54.
[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the wet film component 531 includes a mounting frame 537 and a wet film 538. The mounting frame 537 defines an installation space and has multiple through holes 539 that communicate with the installation space. The wet film 538 is disposed within the installation space. After the wet film component 531 extends into the water tank of the water tank component 52, the liquid in the water tank of the water tank component 52 can flow to the wet film 538 through the through holes 539. This ensures that the humidifying component 53 can carry the liquid out of the water tank of the water tank component 52, thereby making the structure of the wet film component 531 reasonable.
[0074] Furthermore, the mounting shaft 536 and the mounting bracket 537 are designed as a single molded part. This design reduces the number of molds required to produce the humidifier 53, thereby lowering mold development costs and ultimately reducing the production cost of the humidifier 53. It also facilitates the manufacturing of the humidifier 53 and improves its production efficiency.
[0075] Furthermore, the mounting bracket 537 and the wet film 538 are detachably connected, which facilitates the replacement of the wet film 538 and can extend the service life of the mounting shaft 536 and the mounting bracket 537.
[0076] According to the third embodiment of the present invention, the humidifier 53, such as Figures 9-14 As shown, the humidifying element 53 may include a rolling element 532 and an adsorption element 533. The rolling element 532 is rotatably supported on the water tank element 52, or it can be understood that the rolling element 532 is rotatably disposed on the water tank element 52. The adsorption element 533 is wrapped around the outer peripheral wall of the rolling element 532 and can adsorb hypochlorous acid. The humidifying element 53 can be constructed as a roller structure, and the adsorption element 533 can be set as a wet film 538. When the rolling element 532 rolls relative to the water tank 52, the adsorption element 533 wrapped around the outside of the rolling element 532 comes into contact with the hypochlorous acid solution in the water tank of the water tank 52. The hypochlorous acid solution is adsorbed on the adsorption element 533. As the rolling element 532 continues to roll, the hypochlorous acid solution can be carried to the air guide 54. When the gas in the air guide 54 flows through the adsorption element 533, the gas can carry away the hypochlorous acid solution on the adsorption element 533, thereby ensuring that the humidifying element 53 can carry out the liquid in the water tank of the water tank 52, so that the hypochlorous acid can diffuse to the external environment of the air purifier 100.
[0077] Furthermore, such as Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the rolling element 532 may include a pivot shaft 534 and support members 535, and multiple support members 535 may be provided. The pivot shaft 534 is rotatably supported on the water tank member 52, that is, the pivot shaft 534 is rotatably disposed on the water tank member 52. Multiple support members 535 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 534, and each support member 535 is formed as a polygon. The adsorption member 533 is wrapped around the outside of the multiple support members 535. Further, the multiple support members 535 are sequentially spaced apart along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 534, and each support member 535 may be constructed as a regular hexagonal structure, but the present invention is not limited to this, and each support member 535 may also be constructed as other shapes. Further, along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 534, the projections of the multiple support members 535 completely overlap. By having multiple support members 535 spaced apart along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 534, an airflow gap 5391 can be formed between two adjacent support members 535. When the gas in the air guide member 54 flows through the adsorbent member 533, the gas can flow into the airflow gap 5391 through the adsorbent member 533. The gas in the airflow gap 5391 will flow out of the airflow gap 5391 again through the adsorbent member 533. This arrangement can increase the contact area between the gas and the adsorbent member 533, allowing the gas to carry away more hypochlorous acid solution.
[0078] Furthermore, such as Figure 13 As shown, the rolling element 532 may further include a connecting plate 5392, which is connected to the pivot shaft 534 and is also connected to multiple support members 535. The connecting plate 5392 extends along the axial direction of the pivot shaft 534. This arrangement can increase the structural strength of the rolling element 532 and improve the structural strength of the humidifying element 53.
[0079] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the air purifier 100 may further include a drive component 60, which is connected to the humidifier 53. The drive component 60 can drive the humidifier 53 to rotate, thereby achieving the working effect of driving the humidifier 53 to rotate. Further, the drive component 60 can be configured as a drive motor, which can be mounted on the air guide 54. The output shaft of the drive motor can be equipped with a first gear, and the humidifier 53 can be equipped with a second gear 5393. The first gear is adapted to mesh with the second gear 5393. When the water tank component 52 is pulled out, the first gear and the second gear 5393 disengage; when the water tank component 52 is not pulled out, the first gear and the second gear 5393 mesh. When the drive motor is working, it drives the humidifier 53 to rotate through the meshing of the first gear and the second gear 5393, achieving the purpose of driving the humidifier 53 to rotate.
[0080] It should be noted that, according to the second embodiment of the humidifier 53 of the present invention, the end of the mounting shaft 536 is provided with a second gear 5393. According to the third embodiment of the humidifier 53 of the present invention, the end of the pivot shaft 534 is provided with a second gear 5393.
[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, a portion of the air guide 54 extends above the water tank 56. Furthermore, the upper structure of the air guide 54 extends above the water tank 56. This arrangement allows the air guide 54 to enclose the water tank 56, making the structure of the humidification module 50 more compact and thus reducing the space occupied by the humidification module 50 within the second chamber 12.
[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 and Figure 18 As shown, the first air outlet 112 can be located on the top wall 13 of the housing 10, and the second air outlet 122 can be located in the middle of the housing 10.

[0083] It should be noted that, as Figure 15 and 18As shown, the first air outlet 112 can be located on the top wall 13 of the housing 10, and the second air outlet 122 can be located in the middle of the housing 10. When the first fan module 30 is working, the air outside the air purifier 100 flows into the first chamber 11 through the first air inlet 111. The air flowing into the first chamber 11 is purified by the purification module 20. After purification, the air is blown upwards out of the air purifier 100 through the first air outlet 112 on the top wall 13 of the housing 10. For example, when the air purifier 100 is working, the first fan module 30... When the air purifier 100 is working, external air flows into the first chamber 11 through the first air inlet 111. The purification module 20 purifies the air in the first chamber 11, and then the air is blown upwards out of the air purifier 100 through the first air outlet 112. When the air purifier 100 is working, the first fan module 30 operates, and external air flows into the first chamber 11 through the first air inlet 111. The purification module 20 purifies the air in the first chamber 11, and then the air is blown upwards out of the air purifier 100 through the first air outlet 112. Furthermore, when the second fan module 40 operates, external air flows into the second chamber 12 through the second air inlet 121. The air flowing into the second chamber 12 flows through the air outlet, the clearance port 551, and the air guide 54 of the second fan module 40 to the second air outlet 122. The air in the second chamber 12 is then blown out from the second air outlet 122 towards the front of the air purifier 100.
[0084] like Figure 19 As shown, the first air outlet 112 is located on the top wall 13 of the housing 10, and the second air outlet 122 is also located on the top wall 13 of the housing 10. A guide air duct 14 communicating with the air guide 54 and the second air outlet 122 can be provided inside the first chamber 11. When the first fan module 30 is working, air from outside the air purifier 100 flows into the first chamber 11 through the first air inlet 111. The air flowing into the first chamber 11 is purified by the purification module 20, and the purified air is blown upwards out of the air purifier 100 through the first air outlet 112 on the top wall 13 of the housing 10. Furthermore, when the second fan module 40 is working, the gas outside the air purifier 100 flows into the second chamber 12 through the second air inlet 121. The gas flowing into the second chamber 12 flows to the second air outlet 122 through the air outlet of the second fan module 40, the air guide 54, and the air guide duct 14. The gas in the second chamber 12 is blown upward from the second air outlet 122 out of the air purifier 100.
[0085] In some examples of the present invention, at least one sidewall of the housing 10 is configured as a maintenance panel. The maintenance panel may include a first portion and a second portion, which are separable and engageable. When the first portion and the second portion are separated, both the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are open. Further, as...
