[0057] The mobile humidification module 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] like Figures 10-15 As shown, a mobile humidification module 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 41, a fan cover 44, a sub-unit fan assembly 42, and a sub-unit humidification assembly 43.

[0059] like Figures 10-15 As shown, the housing 41 has a sub-unit air inlet 411 and a sub-unit air outlet 412. A power supply module is provided on the housing 41. The power supply module includes a plug 414 on the housing 41 for connecting to an external power source, and the plug 414 has a socket 417. This arrangement allows the portable humidifier module 4 to be connected to an external power source via the plug 414, improving user convenience and thus enhancing the user experience.

[0060] like Figures 10-15As shown, the fan cover 44 is rotatably mounted at the air inlet 411 of the sub-unit to open or close the air inlet 411. The fan cover 44 has multiple spaced ventilation holes 441. The movable humidification module 4 may be equipped with a rotating shaft, and the fan cover 44 is connected to the rotating shaft, so that the fan cover 44 is rotatably mounted at the air inlet 411 of the sub-unit. The multiple ventilation holes 441 on the fan cover 44 can accelerate the airflow and allow the airflow to be introduced into the housing 41 more quickly.

[0061] like Figures 10-15 As shown, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 is mounted on the fan cover 44. When the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 is located inside the housing 41 and is used to drive the airflow from the sub-unit air inlet 411 to the sub-unit air outlet 412. Specifically, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 may include a sub-unit fan 421 and a motor, with the motor driving the sub-unit fan 421 to rotate.

[0062] like Figures 10-15 As shown, the sub-unit humidification component 43 is located inside the housing 41 and is used to humidify the airflow entering from the sub-unit air inlet 411. Specifically, air flows in from the sub-unit air inlet 411. When the sub-unit humidification component 43 is activated, it humidifies the incoming air, and the sub-unit fan component 42 drives the humidified airflow towards the sub-unit air outlet 412. When the sub-unit humidification component 43 is not activated, the sub-unit fan component 42 drives the airflow towards the sub-unit air inlet 411.

[0063] When the portable humidifier module 4 is used alone, the fan cover 44 rotates towards the sub-unit air inlet 411 to close the sub-unit air inlet 411. The sub-unit fan assembly 42 is located inside the housing 41, driving airflow into the fan cover 44 through the ventilation holes 441, humidifying it through the sub-unit humidifier assembly 43, and then exiting from the sub-unit air outlet 412. When the portable humidifier module 4 is used in conjunction with other air handling modules, the fan cover 44 rotates away from the sub-unit air inlet 411 to open the sub-unit air inlet 411, preventing the fan cover 44 from obstructing the sub-unit air inlet 411, thus ensuring unobstructed airflow and facilitating coordination with other air handling modules. These other air handling modules can be humidifier modules, sterilization modules, etc. When the other air handling module is a humidifier module, it can work together with the portable humidifier module 4 to provide humidification, resulting in better humidification. When the other air handling module is a sterilization module, it can sterilize the air while humidifying it.

[0064] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile humidification module 4 has a fan cover 44 rotatably disposed at the sub-unit air inlet 411 to open or close the sub-unit air inlet 411. The sub-unit fan assembly 42 is disposed on the fan cover 44. When the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 is located inside the housing 41 and is used to drive the airflow from the sub-unit air inlet 411 to the sub-unit air outlet 412. When the mobile humidification module 4 is used in conjunction with other air handling modules, the user can rotate the fan cover 44 as needed to avoid the fan cover 44 blocking the sub-unit air inlet 411, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of humidification air. This allows the mobile humidification module 4 to better cooperate with other humidification devices, resulting in better humidification effect and improved user experience.

[0065] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, when the fan cover 44 is opened to the maximum position of the sub-unit air inlet 411, the axis of the fan cover 44 is parallel to that of the sub-unit air inlet 411, and the sub-unit fan assembly 42 stops working. Specifically, a placement part 415 may be provided inside the housing 41. When the fan cover 44 is located on the placement part 415, the placement part 415 provides support for the fan cover 44 and at the same time prevents the sub-fan assembly on the fan cover 44 from contacting the housing 41. This arrangement avoids obstructing other humidification devices when the movable humidification module 4 is used in conjunction with other humidification devices, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0066] For example, in Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In the embodiment shown, the housing 41 is provided with a placement part 415, which has an upward-opening receiving space. Along the circumferential direction of the placement part 415, there are upward-extending protrusions around the placement part 415. When the movable humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 is located in the receiving space of the placement part 415, and the protrusion supports the fan cover 44. At this time, the fan cover 44 is parallel to the axis of the sub-unit air inlet 411.

[0067] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-13As shown, the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 includes: an auxiliary water tank 431, a sub-unit humidification water pool 432, and a sub-unit humidification component 433. The auxiliary water tank 431 is located inside the housing 41. The auxiliary water tank 431 has a water inlet 4311 located on the housing 41 and a second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification water pool 432 is defined by the housing 41 and communicates with the second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification component 433 is located inside the sub-unit humidification water pool 432. Specifically, the auxiliary water tank 431 is located above the humidification water pool 432 of the sub-unit. The auxiliary water tank 431 and the housing 41 can be a single unit. The auxiliary water tank 431 can be filled with water through the water inlet 4311 on the housing 41. The second water outlet 4312 can be located on the bottom wall of the auxiliary water tank 431, allowing water in the auxiliary water tank 431 to flow out through the second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification water pool 432 can be located below the auxiliary water tank 431, and the second water outlet 4312 is connected to the sub-unit humidification water pool 432, allowing water in the auxiliary water tank 431 to flow into the sub-unit humidification water pool 432 through the second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification component 433 performs humidification within the sub-unit humidification water pool 432, and the humidified air flows out from the sub-unit air outlet 412. This configuration is simple and convenient for humidification.

[0068] For example, in Figures 10-13 In the illustrated embodiment, the mobile humidification module 4 is formed as a cuboid. The auxiliary water tank 431 and the housing 41 are integral parts. The water inlet 4311 is located on the upper surface of the housing 41. The bottom wall of the auxiliary water tank 431 is provided with a second water outlet 4312. There is a receiving cavity below the auxiliary water tank 431. The sub-unit humidification water pool 432 is located in the receiving cavity below the auxiliary water tank 431. The sub-unit humidification water pool 432 can store a small amount of water. The second water outlet 4312 is connected to the sub-unit humidification water pool 432, so that the water in the auxiliary water tank 431 can flow into the sub-unit humidification water pool 432 through the second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification water pool 432 has a sub-unit humidification component 433, which has a humidification function and can make the gas humid.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-13As shown, the humidifying element 433 of the sub-unit is an atomizing plate, an electric heating element, or a wet film. Specifically, when the sub-unit humidifying element 433 is an atomizing plate, the high-frequency vibration of the atomizing plate causes the water in the sub-unit humidifying water tank 432 to be thrown off the water surface to produce drifting water mist, thus achieving the purpose of air humidification; when the sub-unit humidifying element 433 is an electric heating element, the electric heating element converts electrical energy into heat energy, and the water in the sub-unit humidifying water tank 432 absorbs the heat from the cover to produce water vapor, thereby increasing the humidity of the air; when the sub-unit humidifying element 433 is a wet film, the air and the wet film are in full contact, so that the air can be humidified. This arrangement allows the air handling module 100 to select the appropriate sub-unit humidifying element 433 according to the model and needs, giving users more choices and improving the user experience. The housing 41 includes a secondary cover plate 416, which has a receiving space. The secondary main board 4161 can be installed in the receiving space, and the moving humidifying module 4 can be controlled through the secondary main board 4161.

[0070] For example, in Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the humidifying element 433 of the sub-unit is an atomizing plate, which is located on the bottom wall of the humidifying water tank 432 of the sub-unit. In the illustrated embodiment, the humidifying element 433 of the sub-unit is an electric heating element, and the humidifying water tank 432 of the sub-unit extends along the length direction of the housing 41 to form a transverse receiving space, within which the humidifying element 433 is located.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15 As shown, when the humidifying element 433 of the sub-unit is a wet film, the wet film is movably disposed within the housing 41 to switch between a position that blocks the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit and a position that opens the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit. This arrangement ensures that when the wet film is in the position that blocks the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit, the movable humidifying module 4 can provide humidification, and when the wet film is in the position that opens the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit, it can ensure smooth airflow to the movable humidifying module 4.

[0072] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 15As shown, the wet film includes a first wet film 4331 and a second wet film 4332 arranged in a plane parallel to the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit. Both the first wet film 4331 and the second wet film 4332 are movably disposed within the housing 41 to open or block the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit. Alternatively, the ends of the first wet film 4331 and the second wet film 4332 furthest from each other are rotatably disposed within the housing 41 to open or block the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit. Specifically, a slide rail may be provided within the housing 41, and the first wet film 4331 and the second wet film 4332 are slidably disposed within the slide rail, allowing both the first wet film 4331 and the second wet film 4332 to be movably disposed within the housing 41 to open or block the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit. The first wet film 4331 and the second wet film 4332 can be fixed to the housing 41 by a rotating shaft, and the first wet film 4331 and the second wet film 4332 can open or block the air outlet 412 of the sub-unit by rotating around the rotating shaft. This design makes the movement of the wet membrane convenient and quick.

[0073] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-13 As shown, when the humidifying element 433 of the sub-unit is an atomizing plate and an electric heating element, the opening of the sub-unit humidifying water tank 432 is provided with a sub-unit grille 4321. This arrangement can prevent debris from falling into the sub-unit humidifying water tank 432.

[0074] For example, in Figures 10-13 In the embodiment shown, the opening of the sub-unit humidification water tank 432 is provided with a sub-unit grille 4321. The sub-unit grille 4321 is circular and has multiple holes to facilitate the flow of mist from the sub-unit grille 4321.

[0075] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-14As shown, the auxiliary water tank 431 is partially defined by the housing 41. The auxiliary water tank 431 includes a rigid portion 4313 and a flexible portion 4314. The flexible portion 4314 has an unfolded state and a folded state. When the flexible portion 4314 is unfolded, the volume of the auxiliary water tank 431 is greater than when the flexible portion 4314 is folded. This arrangement allows the auxiliary water tank 431 to store more water when the flexible portion 4314 is unfolded, and reduces the space occupied when the flexible portion 4314 is folded. Specifically, when the user needs more water storage space, the flexible portion 4314 can be unfolded; when the user needs to move the humidification module 4 to reduce the space occupied, the flexible portion 4314 can be folded. This arrangement ensures that the rigid portion 4313 can hold a certain amount of water when the flexible portion 4314 is folded, thus not affecting user operation. When the flexible portion 4314 is unfolded, the water storage capacity of the auxiliary water tank 431 is increased, reducing the frequency of water refills and improving the user experience. The flexible part 4314 can be composed of multiple folded plates, folded tubes or telescopic tubes, etc., and the folded plates, folded tubes and telescopic tubes can be made of materials such as silicone, plastic, and metal.

[0076] For example, in Figures 10-14 In the embodiment shown, the flexible part 4314 is located above the rigid part 4313. The flexible part 4314 is composed of multiple folding plates. There is a folding point between two adjacent folding plates. The folding plates can be folded to both sides at the folding point. The multiple folding plates allow the auxiliary water tank 431 to be folded multiple times. After the flexible part 4314 is unfolded, the auxiliary water tank 431 has a larger water storage space.

[0077] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-14 As shown, the humidification water tank 432 of the sub-unit is connected to the second water outlet 4312 via a second pipe 434. The second pipe 434 has a second electronic water valve, and a second water level sensor is installed inside the sub-unit humidification water tank 432. The second water level sensor is communicatively connected to the second electronic water valve. Specifically, water in the auxiliary water tank 431 flows out from the second water outlet 4312 into the second pipe 434, which is connected to the sub-unit humidification water tank 432. Water in the second pipe 434 can flow into the sub-unit humidification water tank 432. When the water level in the sub-unit humidification water tank 432 reaches the ideal level, the second water level sensor located in the sub-unit humidification water tank 432 transmits the information to the second electronic water valve. At this time, the second electronic water valve closes, and the auxiliary water tank 431 stops supplying water to the sub-unit humidification water tank 432. This configuration allows for reasonable and rapid control of the liquid level in the humidification tank 432 of the sub-unit. It is simple to control and has a fast response, which can prevent excessive water volume in the humidification tank 432 of the sub-unit and improve the reliability of the air handling module 100.

[0078] For example, in Figures 10-14In the illustrated embodiment, the second water outlet 4312 and the clearance hole 413 are located on opposite sides of the housing 41. The sub-unit humidification water tank 432 is connected to the second water outlet 4312 via a second pipe 434. The outer periphery of the second water pipe is equipped with a protective component, which also improves aesthetics. Water in the auxiliary water tank 431 can flow into the sub-unit humidification water tank 432 by gravity through the second pipe 434. A second electronic water valve is provided on the second pipe 434, and a second water level sensor is provided in the sub-unit humidification water tank 432. When the liquid level in the sub-unit humidification water tank 432 reaches the required level, the second water level sensor can control the second electronic water valve to close the second pipe 434, thereby stopping the auxiliary water tank 431 from supplying water to the sub-unit humidification water tank 432.

[0079] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 10-14 As shown, the auxiliary water tank 431 also has an auxiliary water inlet 4315 located on the housing 41. Specifically, the diameter of the auxiliary water inlet 4315 can be larger than the diameter of the inlet 4311. When the mobile humidification module 4 is detached from the housing 1, water can be added through the auxiliary water inlet 4315. When the mobile humidification module 4 is inside the housing 1, the auxiliary water inlet 4315 can be blocked to prevent water in the auxiliary water tank 431 from overflowing from the auxiliary water inlet 4315. This arrangement improves the water adding efficiency of the mobile humidification module 4 when it is used alone, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0080] For example, in Figures 10-14 In the embodiment shown, the auxiliary water inlet 4315 is provided on the upper surface of the housing 41. The auxiliary water inlet 4315 is arranged adjacent to the water inlet 4311. The auxiliary water inlet 4315 and the water inlet 4311 extend in opposite directions. The auxiliary water inlet 4315 extends upward toward the housing 41, and the water inlet 4311 extends downward toward the housing 41.

[0081] The mobile humidification module 4 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that the following description is merely exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0082] The mobile humidification module 4 includes a housing 41, a sub-unit fan assembly 42, and a sub-unit humidification assembly 43.

[0083] refer to Figures 10-14The portable humidification module 4 is detachably housed within the housing 1. The housing 41 has a sub-unit air inlet 411 and a sub-unit air outlet 412. The sub-unit fan assembly 42 is housed within the housing 41 to drive airflow from the sub-unit air inlet 411 to the sub-unit air outlet 412. The sub-unit humidification assembly 43 is housed within the housing 41 and is used to humidify the airflow entering from the sub-unit air inlet 411. When the portable humidification module 4 is located within the housing 1, the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can operate simultaneously. When the portable humidification module 4 is detached from the housing 1, the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can operate independently.

[0084] The housing 41 has a clearance hole 413 and a plug 414 that mates with the socket 15. The plug 414 also has a socket 417 for connecting to an external power source.

[0085] The sub-unit humidification assembly 43 includes: an auxiliary water tank 431, a sub-unit humidification water pool 432, a sub-unit humidification component 433, and a fan cover 44. The auxiliary water tank 431 is partially defined by the housing 41. The auxiliary water tank 431 includes a rigid part 4313 and a flexible part 4314. The flexible part 4314 has an unfolded state and a folded state. When the flexible part 4314 is in the unfolded state, the volume of the auxiliary water tank 431 is greater than the volume of the auxiliary water tank 431 when the flexible part 4314 is in the folded state. The auxiliary water tank 431 has a water inlet 4311 and a secondary water inlet 431 located on the housing 41. 5. The auxiliary water tank 431 also has a second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification water tank 432 is defined by the housing 41. The sub-unit humidification water tank 432 is connected to the second water outlet 4312. The sub-unit humidification element 433 is an atomizing plate. The sub-unit humidification element 433 is located in the sub-unit humidification water tank 432. The sub-unit humidification water tank 432 is connected to the second water outlet 4312 through a second pipe 434. The second pipe 434 has a second electronic water valve. The sub-unit humidification water tank 432 is equipped with a second water level sensor. The second water level sensor is communicatively connected to the second electronic water valve. The fan cover 44 is rotatably disposed at the sub-unit air inlet 411 to open or close the sub-unit air inlet 411. The fan cover 44 is provided with a plurality of spaced ventilation holes 441. The sub-unit fan assembly 42 is disposed on the fan cover 44. When the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 is located inside the housing 41. When the movable humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the fan cover 44 opens the sub-unit air inlet 411. When the movable humidification module 4 is detached from the housing 1, the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411.

[0086] When the mobile humidification module 4 is inside the outer casing 1, the flexible part 4314 is in a folded state, the third water outlet 313 is connected to the water inlet 4311, the main unit air inlet 11 is connected to the sub-unit air inlet 411, the main unit air outlet 12 is connected to the sub-unit air outlet 412, the fan cover 44 is opened to a position parallel to the axis of the sub-unit air inlet 411, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 stops working, and the clearance hole 413 is opposite to the main unit humidification water tank 32. When the mobile humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1, the third water outlet 313 is connected to the fourth water outlet 314 through the second water pipe, the fan cover 44 is rotated to a position perpendicular to the axis of the sub-unit air inlet 411, and the sub-unit fan assembly 42 starts working.

[0087] The air handling module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 1, a main unit fan assembly 2, a main unit humidification assembly 3, and the aforementioned mobile humidification module 4.

[0088] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the outer casing 1 has a main unit air inlet 11 and a main unit air outlet 12. The main unit fan assembly 2 is disposed inside the outer casing 1 to drive airflow from the main unit air inlet 11 to the main unit air outlet 12. Specifically, the main unit fan assembly 2 includes a fresh air fan 23 and a motor. Airflow flows in from the main unit air inlet 11, and the fresh air fan 23 drives the airflow flowing in from the main unit air inlet 11 to the main unit air outlet 12.

[0089] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the main unit humidification component 3 is located inside the housing 1 and is used to humidify the airflow entering from the main unit air inlet 11. Specifically, the airflow flowing in from the main unit air inlet 11 is humidified by the main unit humidification component 3, and the humidified air flows out from the main unit air outlet 12, thereby improving the user experience.

[0090] The portable humidification module 4 is detachably housed within the outer casing 1. When the portable humidification module 4 is inside the outer casing 1, the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can operate simultaneously. When the portable humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1, the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can operate independently. Specifically, when the portable humidification module 4 is inside the outer casing 1, the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can operate simultaneously to humidify the incoming airflow, or either the main unit humidification assembly 3 or the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can operate independently to humidify the incoming airflow. When the portable humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1, it can be used independently, and the air handling module 100 relies on the main unit humidification assembly 3 for humidification. This configuration makes the humidification of the air conditioner more flexible, allowing users to disassemble the portable humidification module 4 as needed. The simultaneous operation of the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the portable humidification module 4 improves the humidification effect of the air handling module 100, resulting in a better user experience.

[0091] For example, in Figure 2, Figure 6 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the outer casing 1 has a main unit air inlet 11 and a main unit air outlet 12 on opposite sides. The outer casing 1 has a receiving cavity and a main unit door. The movable humidification module 4 is located in the receiving cavity of the outer casing 1. By opening or closing the main unit door, the movable humidification module 4 can be placed into or removed from the receiving cavity. The main unit fan assembly 2 and the main unit humidification assembly 3 are both located inside the outer casing 1. The movable humidification module 4 includes a housing 41, a sub-unit fan assembly 42, and a sub-unit humidification assembly 43, both of which are located inside the housing 41. When the movable humidification module 4 is located inside the outer casing 1, the main unit humidification assembly 3 and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 can work simultaneously. The main unit humidification assembly 3 humidifies the airflow flowing in from the main unit air inlet 11, and the sub-unit humidification assembly 43 humidifies the airflow flowing in from the sub-unit air inlet 411. The humidified air flows out from the main unit air outlet 12. When the portable humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1, the air handling module 100 still has a humidification function and can perform humidification through the main unit humidification component 3. At the same time, the user can use the portable humidification module 4 independently to perform humidification in other places.

[0092] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air handling module 100 rotatably mounts the fan cover 44 of the mobile humidification module 4 at the sub-unit air inlet 411 to open or close the sub-unit air inlet 411. The sub-unit fan assembly 42 is mounted on the fan cover 44. When the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411, the sub-unit fan assembly 42 is located inside the housing 41 and is used to drive airflow from the sub-unit air inlet 411 to the sub-unit air outlet 412. This allows the user to rotate the fan cover 44 as needed when the mobile humidification module 4 is used in conjunction with other air handling modules, preventing the fan cover 44 from obstructing the sub-unit air inlet 411. This ensures unobstructed humidification airflow, allowing the mobile humidification module 4 to better cooperate with other humidification devices, resulting in better humidification and improved user experience.

[0093] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, when the mobile humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the fan cover 44 opens the sub-unit air inlet 411, which connects to the main unit air inlet 11, and the sub-unit air outlet 412 connects to the main unit air outlet 12. When the mobile humidification module 4 is detached from the housing 1, the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411. Specifically, when the mobile humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the fan cover 44 opens the sub-unit air inlet 411 to avoid interference with the main unit fan assembly 2. When the mobile humidification module 4 is detached from the housing 1, the fan cover 44 closes the sub-unit air inlet 411, and the fan assembly drives the airflow from the sub-unit air inlet 411 to the sub-unit air outlet 412. This configuration can enhance the humidification effect of the air handling module 100, improving the user experience.

[0094] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the housing 41 has a clearance hole 413. When the movable humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the clearance hole 413 is opposite to the main unit's humidification water tank 32. This arrangement prevents the movable humidification module 4 from obstructing the main unit's humidification water tank 32 when it is inside the housing 1, thus preventing the main unit's humidification assembly 3 from failing to humidify. Simultaneously, the humidification by both the movable humidification module 4 and the main unit's humidification assembly 3 improves the humidification effect of the air handling module 100, enhancing the user experience. When the movable humidification module 4 is detached from the housing 1, the clearance hole 413 on the housing 41 can be closed.

[0095] For example, in Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the housing 41 has a clearance hole 413 to avoid the main unit grille 321. The size of the clearance hole 413 is larger than the size of the main unit grille 321. The sub-unit humidification component 43 on the mobile humidification module 4 is spaced apart from the clearance hole 413 in the length direction of the housing 41.

[0096] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 2-6As shown, the main unit humidification assembly 3 includes a main water tank 31, a main unit humidification water pool 32, and a main unit humidification component 33. The main water tank 31 is located inside the outer casing 1. The main water tank 31 has a main water inlet 311 located on the outer casing 1 and a first water outlet 312. The main unit humidification water pool 32 is defined by the outer casing 1 and is connected to the first water outlet 312. The main unit humidification component 33 is located inside the main unit humidification water pool 32. Specifically, the main water tank 31 can be filled with water through the main water inlet 311 on the outer casing 1. The first water outlet 312 can be located at the lower end of the main water tank 31, and the water in the main water tank 31 can flow out through the first water outlet 312. The main unit humidification water tank 32 is located below the main water tank 31, and the first water outlet 312 is connected to the main unit humidification water tank 32. The water in the tank can flow into the main unit humidification water tank 32 through the first water outlet 312. The main unit humidification component 33 performs humidification in the main unit humidification water tank 32, and the humidified air flows out from the main unit air outlet 12. This configuration is simple and convenient for humidification.

[0097] For example, in Figures 2-6 In the illustrated embodiment, the main water tank 31 is rectangular in shape and has a water storage space inside. The main water inlet 311 is located on the upper surface of the outer shell 1, and liquid can flow into the water storage space of the main water tank 31 through the main water inlet 311. The first water outlet 312 is located at the lower end of the main water tank 31, so that the water in the main water tank 31 can flow out from the first water outlet 312. The main unit humidification water tank 32 is located below the main water tank 31. The main unit humidification water tank 32 can store a small amount of water. The first water outlet 312 is connected to the main unit humidification water tank 32, so that the water in the main water tank 31 can flow into the main unit humidification water tank 32 through the first water outlet 312. The main unit humidification water tank 32 has a main unit humidification component 33, which performs humidification to make the gas humidified.

[0098] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figures 3-5As shown, the main unit humidification water tank 32 is connected to the first outlet 312 via a first pipe 34. The first pipe 34 has a first electronic water valve, and the main unit humidification water tank 32 is equipped with a first water level sensor, which is communicatively connected to the first electronic water valve. Specifically, water in the main water tank 31 flows out from the first outlet 312 into the first pipe 34, which is connected to the main unit humidification water tank 32. Water in the first pipe 34 can flow into the main unit humidification water tank 32. When the water level in the main unit humidification water tank 32 reaches the ideal level, the first water level sensor located in the main unit humidification water tank 32 transmits information to the first electronic water valve. At this time, the first electronic water valve closes, and the main water tank 31 stops supplying water to the main unit humidification water tank 32. This configuration allows for reasonable and rapid control of the liquid level in the main unit humidification water tank 32. The control is simple and the response is fast, preventing excessive water in the main unit humidification water tank 32 and improving the reliability of the air handling module 100.

[0099] For example, in Figures 3-5 In the illustrated embodiment, the first water outlet 312 and the main unit air inlet 11 are located on the same side of the outer casing 1. The main unit humidification water tank 32 has a humidification water inlet 322, which is located at the lower end of the humidification water tank. The humidification water inlet 322 is located at the lower end of the first water outlet 312. The humidification water inlet 322 and the first water outlet 312 are connected through a first pipe 34. Water in the main water tank 31 can flow into the main unit humidification water tank 32 by gravity through the first pipe 34. A first electronic water valve is provided on the first pipe 34, and a first water level sensor is provided in the main unit humidification water tank 32. When the liquid level in the main unit humidification water tank 32 reaches the required level, the first water level sensor can control the first electronic water valve to close the first pipe 34, thereby stopping the main water tank 31 from supplying water to the main unit humidification water tank 32. The outer casing 1 also includes a main cover plate 16, which has a receiving space. A main motherboard 161 can be installed in the receiving space, and the air handling module 100 can be controlled through the main motherboard 161.

[0100] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the main humidifying element 33 can be an atomizing plate, an electric heating element, or a wet film. Specifically, when the main humidifying element is an atomizing plate, the high-frequency vibration of the atomizing plate causes the water in the main humidifying water tank 32 to be thrown off the surface, producing drifting water mist, thus achieving the purpose of air humidification. When the main humidifying element 33 is an electric heating element, the electric heating element converts electrical energy into heat energy, and the water in the main humidifying water tank 32 absorbs the heat to produce water vapor, thereby increasing the humidity content of the air. When the main humidifying element 33 is a wet film, the air comes into full contact with the wet film, allowing the air to be humidified. This configuration allows the air handling module 100 to select a suitable main humidifying element 33 according to the model and needs, giving users more options.

[0101] For example, in Figure 4 In the illustrated embodiment, the main unit humidifier 33 is an atomizing plate, which is located at the bottom of the main unit humidification water tank 32. In the illustrated embodiment, the main unit humidifier 33 is an electric heating element, which is located within the water storage space of the main unit humidification water tank 32.

[0102] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the main unit humidification element 33 consists of an atomizing plate and an electric heating element, the opening of the main unit humidification water tank 32 is provided with a main unit grille 321. This arrangement can prevent debris from falling into the main unit humidification water tank 32.

[0103] For example, in Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, the opening of the humidification pool 32 of the main unit is provided with a main unit grille 321. The main unit grille 321 is formed into a circle and has multiple holes to facilitate the flow of mist from the main unit grille 321.

[0104] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the main water tank 31 also has a third water outlet 313. When the mobile humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the third water outlet 313 is connected to the water inlet 4311. Specifically, the third water outlet 313 can be located at the lower end of the main water tank 31. When the mobile humidification module 4 is located inside the housing 1, the third water outlet 313 and the water inlet 4311 can be connected by a water pipe. By connecting the third water outlet 313 and the water inlet 4311, water in the main water tank 31 can be injected into the auxiliary water tank 431. This arrangement avoids the need for separate water addition to the mobile humidification module 4 when it is located inside the housing 1, improving the humidification efficiency of the air handling module 100 and enhancing the user experience.

[0105] For example, in Figure 4 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the third water outlet 313 and the first water outlet 312 of the main water tank 31 are located on opposite sides of the main water tank 31. The third water outlet 313 is located at the lower end of the main water tank 31, which facilitates the flow of water from the third water outlet 313. When the movable humidification module 4 is located inside the outer casing 1, the third water outlet 313 is connected to the inlet 4311 of the auxiliary water tank 431 through a water pipe, so that the water in the main water tank 31 can flow into the auxiliary water tank 431 through the third water outlet 313, without the need to add additional water to the auxiliary water tank 431, thus improving the user experience.

[0106] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the main water tank 31 also has a fourth water outlet 314, which is located above the third water outlet 313. When the movable humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1, the third water outlet 313 and the fourth water outlet 314 are connected through a second water pipe. This arrangement can prevent water from overflowing from the main water tank 31, improving the reliability and safety of the air handling module 100. The height of the fourth water outlet 314 is higher than the required liquid level in the main water tank 31, thus preventing water from overflowing from the fourth water outlet 314.

[0107] For example, in Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, the fourth water outlet 314 and the third water outlet 313 are located on the same side of the main water tank 31, with the fourth water outlet 314 located above the third water outlet 313. The height of the fourth water outlet 314 is higher than the required liquid level in the main water tank 31. When the movable humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1, the third water outlet 313 and the fourth water outlet 314 are connected through the second water pipe, which can prevent water from overflowing from the main water tank 31. When the movable humidification module 4 is inside the outer casing 1, the third water outlet 313 is connected to the inlet 4311. Since the fourth water outlet 314 is at a higher height, there will be no overflow problem at the fourth water outlet 314.

[0108] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a third electronic water valve 315 is installed at the main water inlet 311, and a third water level sensor 316 is installed inside the main water tank 31. In the vertical direction, the third water level sensor 316 is located between the third water outlet 313 and the fourth water outlet 314, and the third water level sensor 316 is communicatively connected to the third electronic water valve 315. Specifically, when the water in the main water tank 31 reaches the required height, the third water level sensor 316 sends a signal to the third electronic water valve 315, and the third electronic water valve 315 stops filling the main water tank 31 after receiving the signal. By placing the third water level sensor 316 below the fourth water outlet 314, the fourth water outlet 314 will not overflow when the moving humidification module 4 is detached from the outer casing 1. At the same time, setting the third water level sensor 316 and the third electronic water valve 315 can improve the control of the liquid level in the main water tank 31, avoid the overflow problem in the main water tank 31, and also improve the control speed and accuracy of the air handling module 100, thereby improving the intelligence level of the air conditioner and enhancing the user experience.

[0109] For example, in Figure 4 and Figure 5In the embodiment shown, a third electronic water valve 315 is provided above the main water inlet 311, and a third water level sensor 316 is provided inside the main water tank 31. In the height direction of the main water tank 31, the third water level sensor 316 is located between the third water outlet 313 and the fourth water outlet 314 and is close to the fourth water outlet 314.

[0110] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, when the mobile humidification module 4 is the aforementioned mobile humidification module 4, and the mobile humidification module 4 is located inside the outer casing 1, the flexible part 4314 is in a folded state. Since the capacity of the outer casing 1 is limited, folding the flexible part 4314 of the auxiliary water tank 431 before placing the mobile humidification module 4 inside the outer casing 1 can reduce the space occupied by the mobile humidification module 4, thereby making it easier to position the mobile humidification module 4 inside the outer casing 1. At the same time, the presence of the rigid part 4313 also gives the auxiliary water tank 431 a certain water storage capacity, allowing the mobile humidification module 4 to humidify better.

[0111] For example, in Figure 6 In the embodiment shown, the flexible part 4314 of the mobile humidification module 4 is folded, and then the mobile humidification module 4 is placed in the accommodating space below the main water tank 31. The third water outlet 313 of the main water tank 31 is connected to the water inlet 4311, and the clearance hole 413 on the housing 41 is opposite to the main unit humidification water tank 32.

[0112] According to some embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, a socket 15 is provided inside the housing 1, and a plug 414 that mates with the socket 15 is provided on the housing 41.
