Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to, but is not limited to, the field of air handling equipment, and specifically to an odor adsorption device and an air handling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the manufacturing process of air conditioners, various organic materials are used, such as coatings, volatile oils, plastics, and sponges. These organic materials can emit certain unpleasant and pungent odors, such as organic acids, ammonia, and aldehydes. Furthermore, during use, indoor air frequently passes through the indoor heat exchanger, causing some odor molecules to be adsorbed and accumulated on the surface of the heat exchanger. This results in a strong odor being emitted when the air conditioner is turned on, negatively impacting the user experience.

[0003] The following methods can be used to deal with odors from air conditioners:

[0004] 1. Natural dissipation: Effective against odors generated during the production process, but ineffective against odors absorbed by the indoor unit;

[0005] 2. Clean the indoor heat exchanger: Odors can be absorbed on the air ducts and fan impeller, resulting in poor performance. In addition, cleaning the indoor heat exchanger requires professional personnel and is difficult.

[0006] 3. Use odor neutralizers: This method is only effective for indoor heat exchangers and requires regular use; the results are not ideal. Summary of the Invention

[0018] In some exemplary embodiments, the interval between two adjacent separators is 5mm-100mm, and the width of the separator along the first direction is 5mm-150mm.

[0019] In some exemplary embodiments, the distance between the air inlet and air outlet of the ventilation duct is 5mm-200mm.

[0023] In some exemplary embodiments, the porous adsorption material is adhesively fixed to the inner wall surface of the ventilation channel.

[0024] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the adsorption layer is 5 μm-1000 μm.

[0025] In some exemplary embodiments, the adsorption module is a compressible module, wherein when the adsorption module is in a compressed state, the odor adsorption device is in a non-adsorption state; and when the adsorption module is in an extended state, the odor adsorption device is in an adsorption state.

[0026] The odor adsorption device also includes a drive module, which is connected to the adsorption module and configured to drive the adsorption module to switch between the compressed state and the extended state.

[0027] In some exemplary embodiments, the driving module includes:

[0028] The first and second mounting plates, which are arranged opposite to each other, are respectively installed on the air inlet side and air outlet side of the ventilation device; and

[0029] A drive mechanism is connected to at least one of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, and drives at least one of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate to move, so that the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate move closer together to compress the adsorption module, or move the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate away from each other to extend the adsorption module.

[0030] In some exemplary embodiments, the drive mechanism includes two sub-drive mechanisms symmetrically arranged on both sides of the ventilation device, the sub-drive mechanisms including:

[0031] Mounting rack;

[0051] The realization of the objective, functional features and advantages of the present invention will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0052] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides an odor adsorption device 100, which can be applied to air handling equipment, such as the indoor unit of an air conditioner, to prevent odors from being emitted. Of course, this odor adsorption device 100 can also be used in other products, such as air purifiers, humidifiers, and other air handling equipment.

[0054] like Figures 1-2 and Figure 5 As shown, the odor adsorption device 100 includes an adsorption module 1, which includes a ventilation device 11 and an adsorption layer. The ventilation device 11 has multiple non-interconnected ventilation channels 114, which are curved channels and include at least one V-shaped bend. The adsorption layer includes a porous adsorption material disposed on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114.

[0055] When air flows through the ventilation channel 114 of the ventilation device 11, odor molecules in the air can be adsorbed by the porous adsorption material provided on the inner wall surface of the ventilation channel 114, thereby reducing odors in the air. Since the ventilation channel 114 is a curved channel including at least one V-shaped bend, air flowing through the ventilation channel 114 can collide and repeatedly contact the adsorption layer formed on the inner wall surface of the ventilation channel 114 multiple times (the airflow direction in the ventilation channel 114 is as follows...). Figure 5 (As shown by the middle arrow), it improves the adsorption efficiency and effect of odor molecules.

[0056] When the odor adsorption device 100 is used in air handling equipment, such as an air conditioner, it can be installed at the air outlet 201 of the indoor unit to absorb odor molecules in the airflow, preventing unpleasant odors from escaping. It offers good odor removal and avoids the need for disassembling and cleaning the heat exchanger, thus improving the user experience. Furthermore, the airflow from the indoor unit is dispersed through the ventilation duct 114 of the ventilation device 11, creating a natural breeze and preventing direct airflow, further enhancing the user experience.

[0057] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the ventilation channel 114 may be V-shaped; or, the ventilation channel 114 may be serrated, including multiple V-shaped bends.

[0058] The ventilation channel 114 is V-shaped or serrated, making it uneven. When air flows through the ventilation channel 114, it can collide and repeatedly contact with the adsorption layer formed on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114, thereby improving the adsorption efficiency and effect of odor molecules.

[0059] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5As shown, the included angle α between the two sidewalls of the V-shaped bend is 60 degrees to 120 degrees. For example, the included angle α between the two sidewalls of the V-shaped bend can be 60 degrees, 65 degrees, 70 degrees, 75 degrees, 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 105 degrees, 110 degrees, 115 degrees, 120 degrees, etc.

[0060] The included angle α between the two sidewalls of the V-shaped bend is 60-120 degrees, which allows the airflow entering from the air inlet of the ventilation channel 114 to be reflected towards the air outlet side of the ventilation channel 114 after colliding with the sidewall of the V-shaped bend. This helps to reduce turbulence in the ventilation channel 114, reduce wind resistance and noise, and allow the airflow to pass smoothly through the ventilation channel 114.

[0061] Of course, the included angle α between the two side walls of the V-shaped bend is not limited to 60 degrees-120 degrees. It can also be set according to actual needs. For example, the included angle α between the two side walls of the V-shaped bend can be set to less than 60 degrees or greater than 120 degrees.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, multiple ventilation channels 114 can be provided, with multiple ventilation channels 114 arranged in parallel, and the V-shaped bends of multiple ventilation channels 114 protruding in the same direction.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-2 and Figure 5 As shown, the ventilation device 11 includes: a first plate 111, a second plate 112 and a plurality of partitions 113.

[0064] The first plate 111 and the second plate 112 are arranged opposite to each other. The first plate 111 and the second plate 112 can be flat plates, and the surfaces of the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 are parallel.

[0065] Multiple separators 113 are disposed between the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 and along the first direction ( Figure 5 The components are arranged sequentially in the left and right directions, and a ventilation channel 114 is formed between two adjacent partitions 113.

[0066] In the ventilation device 11, the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 are arranged opposite to each other, with a gap between them. Multiple partitions 113, which can be sheet-like or plate-like, are disposed between the first plate 111 and the second plate 112, with both ends of each partition 113 connected to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 respectively. The multiple partitions 113 are arranged sequentially along a first direction, such that adjacent partitions 113 can cooperate with the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 to form a ventilation channel 114. The partitions 113 can be V-shaped or serrated, so that the ventilation channel 114 formed between adjacent partitions 113 is also V-shaped or serrated. The adsorption layer on the inner wall of the V-shaped or serrated ventilation channel 114 can collide and contact with the air flowing through the ventilation channel 114 multiple times to adsorb odor molecules in the air.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, both the separator 113 and the ventilation channel 114 are V-shaped.

[0068] The separator 113 is V-shaped, so that the ventilation channel 114 formed between two adjacent separators 113 is also V-shaped. The V-shaped ventilation channel 114 has a bend, so that the adsorption layer formed on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114 can collide and come into contact with the air flowing through the ventilation channel 114 multiple times, ensuring the adsorption effect on odor molecules.

[0069] In some exemplary embodiments, the projections of two adjacent separators 113 on a first plane 115 partially overlap, wherein the first plane 115 is configured to be perpendicular to the adjacent surfaces of the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 and extends along a first direction.

[0070] The first plate 111 and the second plate 112 can be arranged in parallel, such that the adjacent surfaces of the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 are parallel to each other. The first plane 115 is perpendicular to the adjacent surfaces of the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 and extends along the first direction (i.e., the first plane 115 is parallel to the first direction). The projections of two adjacent partitions 113 on the first plane 115 partially overlap, such as linear overlap or surface overlap, so that there is no gap between the projections of two adjacent partitions 113 on the first plane 115. This prevents some airflow from passing directly through the gap when the airflow flows through the ventilation channel 114 without contacting the adsorption layer on the ventilation channel 114, which would affect the adsorption effect on odor molecules and thus affect the odor removal effect of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.

[0071] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, multiple separators 113 are equally spaced, and the width W of the separator 113 along the first direction is not less than the interval S between two adjacent separators 113.

[0072] like Figure 5 As shown, the separator 113 is V-shaped, and the depth of the V-shape is the maximum width of the separator 113 along the first direction. The maximum width of the separator 113 along the first direction is the width W of the separator 113. This width W is not less than the interval S between two adjacent separators 113, so that the projection portions of the adjacent separators 113 on the first plane 115 parallel to the first direction coincide. This allows the airflow to contact and collide with the adsorption layer on at least one of the two adjacent separators 113 when it flows through the ventilation channel 114, ensuring the adsorption effect on odor molecules in the airflow.

[0073] In some exemplary embodiments, the interval S between two adjacent separators 113 is 5 mm to 100 mm. For example, the interval S between two adjacent separators 113 can be 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm, 85 mm, 90 mm, 95 mm, 100 mm, etc.

[0074] The width W of the separator 113 along the first direction is greater than or equal to S, for example, S ≤ W ≤ 150 mm. The width W of the separator 113 along the first direction can be 5 mm to 150 mm, such as: the width W of the separator 113 along the first direction can be 5 mm, 10 mm, 15 mm, 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, 50 mm, 55 mm, 60 mm, 65 mm, 70 mm, 75 mm, 80 mm, 85 mm, 90 mm, 95 mm, 100 mm, 110 mm, 120 mm, 130 mm, 140 mm, 150 mm, etc.

[0075] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the distance L between the air inlet and outlet of the ventilation duct 114 is 5mm-200mm. For example, the distance L between the air inlet and outlet of the ventilation duct 114 can be 5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm, 18mm, 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, 130mm, 140mm, 150mm, 160mm, 170mm, 180mm, 190mm, 200mm, etc.

[0076] The size and length of the ventilation channel 114 of the ventilation device 11 are related to the air permeability and adsorption effect. If the ventilation channel 114 has a large flow area and a short length, the permeability is large and the air resistance is small when the air flows through it, but the contact area between the air flow and the adsorption layer is small and the adsorption effect is poor. If the ventilation channel 114 has a small flow area and a large length, the permeability is small and the air resistance is large when the air flows through it, but the contact area between the air flow and the adsorption layer is large and the adsorption effect is good. In some embodiments, the interval S between two adjacent partitions 113 forming the ventilation channel 114 can be set to 5mm-50mm, the width W of the partition 113 along the first direction can be set to: S≤W≤100mm, and the distance L between the air inlet and outlet of the ventilation channel 114 can be set to 10mm-100mm. This can maximize the adsorption effect while ensuring low wind resistance, so that when the airflow passes through the ventilation device 11, it can collide and repeatedly contact the adsorption layer on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114, thereby improving the adsorption efficiency and adsorption effect. This achieves a balance between wind resistance and adsorption effect, ensuring the air outlet effect of the indoor unit of the air conditioner, and reducing or avoiding noise increase.

[0077] It should be understood that the interval S between two adjacent partitions 113 forming the ventilation channel 114 is not limited to 5mm-100mm, and can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as setting the interval S between two adjacent partitions 113 to be less than 5mm or greater than 100mm. It should also be understood that the distance L between the air inlet and outlet ports of the ventilation channel 114 is not limited to 5mm-200mm, and can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as setting the distance L between the air inlet and outlet ports of the ventilation channel 114 to be less than 5mm or greater than 200mm. Furthermore, it should be understood that the width W of the partition 113 along the first direction is not limited to 5mm-150mm, and can be adjusted according to actual needs, such as setting the width W of the partition 113 along the first direction to be less than 5mm or greater than 150mm.

[0078] In some exemplary embodiments, the separator 113 may be made of a flexible material, such as non-woven fabric; or, the separator 113 may be made of a flexible rigid material, such as a metal sheet or a plastic sheet. Flexible materials can be folded and are not easily damaged.

[0079] In some exemplary embodiments, the porous adsorbent material may include one or more of diatomaceous earth, molecular sieve, bentonite, and activated carbon.

[0080] The adsorption module 1 mainly consists of a flexible adsorption structure formed by flexible materials (such as non-woven fabric) or flexible rigid materials (such as metal sheets) + porous adsorption materials (such as diatomaceous earth, molecular sieves, bentonite, activated carbon, etc.). It has a good adsorption effect and helps to reduce the noise generated when the wind and odor adsorption device 100 is in operation.

[0081] In some exemplary embodiments, the porous adsorbent material is adhesively fixed to the inner wall surface of the ventilation channel 114.

[0082] The inner wall of the ventilation channel 114 of the ventilation device 11 can be coated or sprayed with an adhesive layer, and porous adsorbent material can be bonded to the adhesive layer, thereby achieving adhesive fixation of the porous adsorbent material to the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114 and forming an adsorption layer on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114. Of course, the porous adsorbent material can also be fixed to the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114 by other means besides adhesive bonding.

[0083] In some exemplary embodiments, the thickness of the adsorption layer can be 5 μm (micrometers) to 1000 μm. For example, the thickness d3 of the adsorption layer is 10 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm, 100 μm, 200 μm, 300 μm, 400 μm, 500 μm, 600 μm, 700 μm, 800 μm, 900 μm, or 1000 μm.

[0084] The adsorption layer can have a uniform thickness, ranging from 5μm to 1000μm. An adsorption layer with a certain thickness can ensure good adsorption effect.

[0085] Of course, the thickness of the adsorption layer is not limited to 5μm-1000μm, and can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the thickness of the adsorption layer can be set to less than 5μm or greater than 1000μm.

[0086] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, adsorption module 1 is a compressible module. Wherein, as... Figures 3-4 As shown, when the adsorption module 1 is in a compressed state, the odor adsorption device 100 is in a non-adsorption state; as Figures 1-2As shown, when the adsorption module 1 is in the extended state, the odor adsorption device 100 is in the adsorption state. The separator 113 can be made of a flexible material, allowing it to be compressed and extended; the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 can also be extended and compressed, making the adsorption module 1 a compressible module as a whole. Both the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 can include multiple sequentially connected sub-plates, allowing the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 to be extended and compressed as a whole. Alternatively, the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 can be made of a flexible material that is both extendable and compressible. The V-shaped or serrated ends of the separator 113 can connect to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112, while the middle portion of the V-shaped or serrated shape, such as the recessed portion of the V-shaped or serrated shape relative to the two ends along its depth direction, can be left unconnected to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112. When the adsorption module 1 is in the compressed state, the V-shaped or serrated shape can be folded without creating new creases.

[0087] The odor adsorption device 100 also includes a drive module 2, which is connected to the adsorption module 1 and configured to drive the adsorption module 1 in... Figures 3-4 The compression state shown and Figures 1-2 Switch between the shown extended states.

[0088] The adsorption module 1 is a compressible module. The drive module 2 can drive the adsorption module 1 to move and deform, so that the adsorption module 1 switches to the compressed state. At this time, the ventilation channel 114 of the adsorption module 1 is also compressed. The adsorption module 1 is not used to remove odors, so the odor adsorption device 100 is in the non-adsorption state. The drive module 2 can also drive the adsorption module 1 to move and deform, so that the adsorption module 1 switches to the extended state. At this time, the ventilation channel 114 of the adsorption module 1 is also extended. The adsorption module 1 can be used for ventilation and odor removal, so the odor adsorption device 100 is in the adsorption state.

[0089] When the odor adsorption device 100 is applied to the indoor unit of an air conditioner, it can be in an adsorption state when it is necessary to remove odors from the air outlet of the indoor unit. At this time, the air outlet can flow through the ventilation channel 114 of the adsorption module 1 so that the adsorption layer on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114 can adsorb odor molecules and prevent odors from the air outlet. When it is not necessary to remove odors from the air outlet of the indoor unit, the odor adsorption device 100 can be in a non-adsorption state. At this time, the adsorption module 1 is compressed to reduce the volume of the adsorption module 1, thereby reducing the impact of the adsorption module 1 on the air outlet resistance, or preventing dust accumulation in the ventilation channel 114.

[0090] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the drive module 2 includes: a first mounting plate 21a, a second mounting plate 21b, and a drive mechanism 22.

[0091] The first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b can be arranged opposite to each other and installed on the air inlet side and air outlet side of the ventilation device 11, respectively. The first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b can be flat plates and parallel to each other. The first mounting plate 21a can be installed on the air outlet side of the ventilation device 11, and its two ends can be connected to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 of the ventilation device 11, respectively. The second mounting plate 21b can be installed on the air inlet side of the ventilation device 11, and its two ends can be connected to the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 of the ventilation device 11, respectively.

[0092] The drive mechanism 22 can be connected to at least one of the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b to drive at least one of the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b to move, so that the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b move closer together to compress the adsorption module 1, or move the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b away from each other to extend the adsorption module 1.

[0093] The adsorption module 1 can be installed between the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b, which are arranged opposite to each other. The air outlet side of the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 of the adsorption module 1 can be connected to both ends of the first mounting plate 21a, and the air inlet side of the first plate 111 and the second plate 112 of the adsorption module 1 can be connected to both ends of the second mounting plate 21b, respectively. The driving mechanism 22 can drive one of the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b to move along the ventilation direction, so that the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b move closer together to compress the adsorption module 1, or move the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b away from each other to extend the adsorption module 1; or, the driving mechanism 22 can drive the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b to move simultaneously along the ventilation direction, so that the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b move closer together to compress the adsorption module 1, or move the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b away from each other to extend the adsorption module 1.

[0094] When the adsorption module 1 is compressed, the ventilation channel 114 is also compressed; when the adsorption module 1 is extended, the ventilation channel 114 is also extended so that the airflow passes through the ventilation channel 114 and the adsorption layer on the inner wall of the ventilation channel 114 adsorbs odor molecules to prevent odor from escaping.

[0095] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figures 1-4As shown, the driving mechanism 22 includes two sub-driving mechanisms 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the adsorption module 1. The sub-driving mechanism 22 includes: a mounting frame 221, a telescopic rod 222, a first connecting rod 224, and a second connecting rod 225. The telescopic rod 222 is telescopically mounted on the mounting frame 221. One end of the first connecting rod 224 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 222, and the other end is rotatably connected to the first mounting plate 21a. One end of the second connecting rod 225 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 222, and the other end is rotatably connected to the second mounting plate 21b.

[0096] The driving mechanism 22 includes two sub-driving mechanisms 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the adsorption module 1. Two first mounting plates 21a and two second mounting plates 21b can each be provided. The two first mounting plates 21a are respectively installed at both ends of the air outlet side of the adsorption module 1, and the two second mounting plates 21b are respectively installed at both ends of the air inlet side of the adsorption module 1. Air can be introduced between the two second mounting plates 21b, and air can be vented between the two first mounting plates 21a, so that the first mounting plates 21a and 21b do not affect the ventilation of the ventilation channel 114 of the adsorption module 1. One sub-driving mechanism 22 can be connected to the first mounting plate 21a and 21b located at one end, so as to drive the first mounting plate 21a and 21b at one end to move closer or further apart; the other sub-driving mechanism 22 can be connected to the first mounting plate 21a and 21b located at the other end, so as to drive the first mounting plate 21a and 21b at the other end to move closer or further apart, thereby realizing the compression and extension movements of the adsorption module 1.

Specifically, when the telescopic rod 222 moves along the leftward arrow, it retracts in the opposite direction. Figure 4 When the first link 224 extends in the direction indicated by the leftward arrow, it can rotate around its rotating connection with the telescopic rod 222 as the center, along...

Figure 4 The telescopic rod moves in the directions indicated by the forward and backward arrows, bringing the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b closer together to compress the adsorption module 1, thereby switching the odor adsorption device 100 to a non-adsorption state and reducing its impact on the airflow resistance of the indoor unit of the air conditioner; when the telescopic rod 222 moves along the direction indicated by the forward and backward arrows... Figure 4 When the first link 224 retracts in the opposite direction to the left-pointing arrow, it can rotate around its rotating connection with the telescopic rod 222 as the center, along... Figure 4 Rotating in the opposite direction to the counterclockwise arrow, the second link 225 can rotate around its rotating connection with the telescopic rod 222 as the center of rotation.

Figure 4 The forward and backward arrows indicate opposite directions, causing the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b to move away from each other, so that the adsorption module 1 can extend and the odor adsorption device 100 can resume its adsorption state and perform odor adsorption.

[0098] In some exemplary embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, one end of the telescopic rod 222 is provided with a connecting seat 223, which can be U-shaped; the first connecting rod 224 and the second connecting rod 225 are each provided in two sets, and one end of the first connecting rod 224 and the second connecting rod 225 extends into the cavity of the U-shaped connecting seat 223. One set of the first connecting rod 224 and the second connecting rod 225 is configured to be rotatably connected to one side wall of the U-shaped connecting seat 223 through a pin 226, and the other set of the first connecting rod 224 and the second connecting rod 225 is configured to be connected to the other side of the U-shaped connecting seat 223. The sidewalls are rotatably connected by a pin 226; both the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b are provided with two sets of fixing parts 211. The other ends of the first connecting rod 224 and the second connecting rod 225 are rotatably connected to the fixing parts 211 on the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b respectively by a pin 226. The other ends of the first connecting rod 224 and the second connecting rod 225 are rotatably connected to the fixing parts 211 on the first mounting plate 21a and the second mounting plate 21b respectively by a pin 226.

[0099] In some exemplary embodiments, the telescopic rod 222 can also rotate around its own axis on the mounting frame 221, driving the compressed adsorption module 1 to rotate to a state with low air resistance to the air outlet 201; or, the mounting frame 221 can be movably or rotatably mounted on the body 200, and the compressed adsorption module 1 can be moved away from the air outlet 201 by moving or rotating the mounting frame 221.

[0100] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this application embodiment also provides an air handling device, including: a body 200 and an odor adsorption device 100 of any of the above embodiments. The body 200 is provided with an air outlet 201, the odor adsorption device 100 is installed on the body 200, and the adsorption module 1 is located at the air outlet 201.

[0101] Odor adsorption device 100 is installed at air outlet 201 to adsorb odor molecules in the air and prevent odor from escaping. In addition, ventilation channel 114 of odor adsorption device 100 can also disperse the air and prevent the air from blowing directly, thus improving the user experience.

[0102] In some exemplary embodiments, when the odor adsorption device 100 is in the adsorption state, the projection of the air outlet 201 falls within the projection range of the adsorption module 1 on a plane perpendicular to the air outlet direction of the air outlet 201.

[0103] When the odor adsorption device 100 is in the adsorption state, the plane perpendicular to the air outlet 201 can be called the vertical plane. The projection of the air outlet 201 on the vertical plane falls within the projection range of the adsorption module 1 on the vertical plane, so that all the air blown out of the air outlet 201 passes through the adsorption module 1, resulting in a good odor adsorption effect.

[0104] In some exemplary embodiments, the air handling equipment may include an air conditioner, and the odor adsorption device 100 is installed at the air outlet 201 of the indoor unit of the air conditioner.
