Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of humidity control technology, specifically providing a constant humidity machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of electrical appliance technology, especially household appliances, people have placed higher and more sophisticated demands on the appliances used in their work and living environments. For example, air conditioners are primarily used to regulate the temperature level of indoor spaces. However, temperature regulation often involves changes in humidity. Therefore, the need for humidity control may arise. Of course, even without air conditioning, users may still have a need for humidity control due to climate conditions and other factors.

[0003] Humidity control includes both humidification and dehumidification. Currently, different devices are typically used, such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers, to meet users' needs for humidification and dehumidification. As an improvement, integrated devices with both humidification and dehumidification functions have appeared on the market. However, due to the large number of components corresponding to these functions, the integration level of these devices still has room for improvement. Furthermore, since humidification and dehumidification are two opposing humidity control processes, there is a possibility of interference. Specifically, components related to humidification may affect the dehumidification effect during dehumidification operation, and vice versa.

[0004] Accordingly, a new technical solution is needed in this field to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This application aims to solve at least part of the above-mentioned technical problems and / or solve at least part of the above-mentioned technical problems. Specifically, it provides a constant humidity machine that can at least improve the integration of the device to a certain extent and / or at least avoid interference between the humidification function and the dehumidification function to a certain extent.

[0006] In view of this, this application provides a constant humidity machine, which includes: a humidification section including a humidification body capable of distributing a first amount of moisture to a target space; a dehumidification section capable of removing a second amount of moisture from the target space; and a liquid storage container capable of distributing the first amount of moisture to the humidification body and recovering at least a portion of the second amount of moisture; wherein the humidification body is capable of forming a clearance space when the dehumidification section is in operation.

[0007] This configuration allows the humidifier to function as both a humidifier and a dehumidifier. The inclusion of a liquid reservoir further enhances the humidifier's integration.

[0008] By constructing an clearance space, the air to be treated or already treated can circulate through the clearance space when the dehumidification unit is operating, reducing air resistance and ensuring dehumidification efficiency. In addition, it can also effectively prevent the introduction of new moisture into the dehumidification process due to the presence of the humidification unit, thus avoiding affecting the dehumidification performance of the constant humidity machine.

[0009] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the specific form of the avoidance space and the specific method of forming the avoidance space according to actual needs. For example, the avoidance space can be a single space or a combination of multiple subspaces, and the avoidance space can be formed through the movement or deformation of the humidifier body. Taking the movement of the humidifier body as an example, the movement can be telescopic, push-pull, or rotational.

[0010] It should be noted that the "first humidity" and "second humidity" mentioned here are only used to distinguish the source and destination of the humidity corresponding to the humidification and dehumidification functions in a constant humidity machine, and are not specific, quantifiable humidity values. The target space can be any space with humidity control needs, such as a bedroom, living room, or office.

[0011] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the humidification body includes a plurality of humidification body units, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of humidification body units are movably disposed.

[0012] This configuration allows for the creation of clearance spaces through the movement of the humidification unit.

[0013] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, number, and relative positions of the individual humidifier units according to actual needs. For example, the structures of multiple humidifier units can be the same or different. The humidifier unit can be a humidifying film, humidifying cotton, etc., so that when air flows through the humidifier unit, the moisture adsorbed on the humidifier unit can be carried to the target space.

[0014] For example, the humidifier body includes two parts: a first part is a movable humidifier body unit, and a second part is a relatively fixed humidifier body unit. By moving the first part, a clearance space is formed in a local area of ​​the humidifier body. For example, the second part can extend into the clearance space in a retractable manner or retract to a state of overlapping / partially overlapping with the first part.

[0015] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the humidification unit includes a first mounting portion, and the humidification main body is rotatably disposed on the first mounting portion.

[0016] This configuration allows for the creation of clearance space through the rotation of the main humidifier unit.

[0017] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the specific drive transmission method to achieve rotation based on actual needs, such as multiple humidification units rotating synchronously or rotating relatively independently.

[0018] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the humidification body is equipped with a movable mechanism that enables the humidification body to undergo compression deformation to form the clearance space.

[0019] This design allows for the creation of clearance spaces through the deformation of the humidifier body.

[0020] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form, drive transmission method, number, etc. of the moving mechanism according to actual needs. For example, the moving mechanism can be a push plate, etc. Compression deformation can cause the humidifying body to be pushed out from the middle to one or more sides to form a clearance space (such as ring-shaped push, push up and down / left and right sides, etc.), or concentrated push in a certain direction (such as push upwards, etc.).

[0021] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the humidification unit includes a shielding component that, when forming the clearance space, can shield at least a portion of the humidification body.

[0022] This configuration avoids the influence of moisture content in the humidifier on the dehumidification function, or in other words, it prevents the moisture that needs to be removed during the dehumidification process from being intercepted by the humidifier components, thus affecting the accuracy of the humidification function.

[0023] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the structural form of the shielding component, the way the shielding component shields the humidifying main body, and the shielding range (partial or complete) according to actual needs.

[0024] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the constant humidity machine includes: a purification unit, which includes at least one purification module; wherein at least a portion of the humidification unit and the purification unit are integrated.

[0025] By incorporating a purification unit, air quality can be improved while simultaneously regulating humidity. Furthermore, in this application, the integration of the purification unit and the humidification unit, two components with different functions, is enhanced, thereby increasing the overall integration of the humidifier.

[0026] It is understood that those skilled in the art can determine the number of purification modules, the structure, purification capacity, purification principle, installation location of each purification module, and whether some or all of the purification modules are integrated with the humidifier, etc., according to actual needs. For example, the purification unit includes purification module A and purification module B, wherein purification module A comprises two interconnected parts, one of which is integrated with the humidifier.

[0027] In one possible implementation of the aforementioned constant humidity machine, the constant humidity machine includes a housing with an air inlet and an air outlet. A humidity regulation path is formed within the housing between the air inlet and the air outlet. The air to be treated enters the humidity regulation path through the air inlet and is distributed to the target space through the air outlet. The purification unit includes a first purification module and a second purification module. Viewed along the flow direction of the air to be treated, the second purification module is located downstream of the first purification module. The humidification unit is integrated with the second purification module.

[0028] With this configuration, the cleanliness of the integrated part can be ensured by integrating the second purification module located on the inside with the humidification unit.

[0029] It is understandable that those skilled in the art can determine the location and number of air inlets and outlets, as well as the specific form of the humidity control path, based on actual needs. For example, the humidity control path can be a straight line, a curve, a broken line, etc.

[0030] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the humidification unit includes: a water distribution assembly having a plurality of first connecting structures; and a water coupling assembly having a plurality of second connecting structures capable of docking with the first connecting structures; water can be sequentially distributed to the humidification body through the first connecting structures and the second connecting structures; wherein the water distribution assembly is disposed in the mounting part, and the water coupling assembly is disposed in the humidification body.

[0031] This design allows water to reach the humidifying unit evenly.

[0032] The humidifier body can be a humidifying film, humidifying cotton, etc., so that when air flows through the humidifier body, the moisture adsorbed on the humidifier body can be carried to the target space. The first / second connecting structure can be a connecting hole, channel, nozzle, etc. If each second connecting structure can have multiple holes, then the water collected by the first connecting structure can be evenly sprayed onto the humidifier body by spraying.

[0033] In one possible implementation of the above-mentioned constant humidity machine, the dehumidification unit includes a compressor, a condenser, a throttling device, and an evaporator. The compressor, the condenser, the throttling device, and the evaporator form a refrigerant circulation loop, and the condenser and the evaporator are located in the humidity regulation path.

[0034] With this configuration, it is possible to achieve the dehumidification function of a constant humidity machine by means of the phase change of the refrigerant.

[0035] In one possible implementation of the aforementioned constant humidity machine, the constant humidity machine includes a water receiving tray that is in communication with the liquid storage vessel, wherein at least a portion of the water receiving tray is disposed below the evaporator so as to: receive water that is separated from the treated air during its flow through the evaporator; and at least a portion of the water receiving tray is disposed below the humidification unit so as to: receive excess water during the dispensing of water to the humidification body of the humidification unit.

[0036] This configuration allows for optimization of the humidifier's performance. For example, the drip tray can be connected to the liquid storage container via connecting holes or pipes.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this application, by integrating the water supply tank corresponding to the humidification function and the water storage tank corresponding to the dehumidification function into a single liquid storage container, components are saved, thus reducing the installation space required for the liquid storage container. Furthermore, by integrating the humidification unit (corresponding to the humidification function) with a portion of the purification unit (corresponding to the purification function), specifically by integrating the humidification unit with a second purification module within the purification unit, the integration of the device is further improved. And by constructing a clearance space, interference between components related to the humidification function and components related to the dehumidification function is avoided, thus preventing any impact on the performance of the humidifier. Through the cooperation of the water distribution assembly and the water coupling assembly, water can penetrate more evenly into the humidification body, thereby ensuring the humidification function of the humidifier.

[0080] Furthermore, to better illustrate this application, numerous specific details are provided in the following detailed embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that this application can still be implemented without certain specific details. In some instances, the principles of refrigerant circulation loops, water distributors, water couplers, etc., which are well known to those skilled in the art, are not described in detail in order to highlight the main points of this application.

[0081] The following will refer to Figures 1 to 11 The constant humidity machine of this application is described in at least a portion thereof.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the humidifier 100 mainly includes a housing 1, a humidification section, a dehumidification section, a water tank 4, and a fan 5. The housing has an air inlet 101 on its side and an air outlet 102 on its top. An approximately L-shaped humidity regulation path is formed between the air inlet and outlet within the housing. The fan is positioned near the outlet along the humidity regulation path. Guided by the fan, indoor air enters the humidity regulation path through the air inlet. During its flow through the path, the humidifier regulates the humidity of the air. The humidified air is then released back into the indoor space through the outlet. For example, the humidification section primarily increases humidity, while the dehumidification section decreases it. This allows for effective humidity regulation of the indoor air. In this example, a pair of handheld handles 103 are also provided on the side of the housing for the user to hold the humidifier.

[0083] In one possible implementation, the humidification unit mainly includes a humidification module 21 and a water supply module 22. The humidification module is mainly used to humidify the air flowing through it, and the water supply module is mainly used to distribute water from the water tank to the humidification module.

[0084] In one possible implementation, the humidification module 21 mainly includes a humidification bracket 211, a water distributor 212, a water coupler 213, and a humidifying cotton assembly 214. The water distributor 212 is positioned above the humidifying cotton assembly 214 and has multiple water distribution holes 2121. The water coupler 213 is located below the water distributor and has water coupling holes 2122 that can connect with the water distribution holes. In this example, the water coupling holes 2122 include multiple holes corresponding one-to-one with the water distribution holes. The water distribution holes 2121 are generally columnar structures, while the water coupling holes 2122 generally have a relatively large spray area. If the water distribution holes were directly installed above the humidifying cotton assembly, uneven humidification would occur. In this example, the water distribution holes (long rectangular water holes) above the humidifying cotton are embedded into the water coupling holes of the humidifying cotton assembly. This allows the water from the water supply module to be sprayed more evenly onto the humidifying cotton assembly after passing through the water distributor and water coupler. In this example, the bottom of the humidifier bracket 211 is provided with a humidifier bracket drain outlet 2111 so that excess water can be drained into the water tray and further drained into the water tank.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the humidifying cotton assembly 214 includes multiple humidifying cotton units 2141, which are rotatably mounted on the humidifying bracket via pivot shafts 22412. The multiple humidifying cotton units form a structure roughly resembling louvers. The pivot shafts can be equipped with a drive mechanism such as a motor; for example, one motor can drive multiple pivot shafts to rotate synchronously. In this way, when the humidifier is operating in humidification mode, the humidifying cotton units are rotated to a vertical position to fully humidify the air flowing through them. When the humidifier is operating in dehumidification mode, the humidifying cotton units are positioned at an angle to the vertical position, such as horizontally. This creates a clearance space that allows airflow, providing a channel for the air requiring dehumidification. This reduces airflow resistance and avoids the humidifying cotton units affecting the dehumidification function.

[0086] In one possible implementation, the water supply module 22 mainly includes a water pump 221, a water supply pipe 222, and a heating component 223. The water pump can draw water from the water tank through the water supply pipe to the water distributor, thereby providing the humidifying cotton component with enough moisture to meet the humidification requirements.

[0087] Current humidifiers typically provide room temperature water during humidification, and water evaporation relies solely on the fan, thus the humidification capacity needs further improvement. Therefore, the water supply module of this application includes a heating element, such as one installed at the water pump inlet. This allows water to be preheated and then evenly distributed to each individual humidifying cotton unit via a water distributor and water coupler. In this case, the humidification capacity of each humidifying cotton unit includes both natural evaporation of hot water and evaporation guided by the fan. By improving the water evaporation conditions, the humidification capacity of the humidifying unit is increased, thereby optimizing the humidification performance of the humidifier. In this example, the water pump 221 has multiple water pump outlets 2211, which supply water not only to the humidifying cotton assembly but also to the self-cleaning section.

[0088] In one possible implementation, the dehumidification unit mainly includes a compressor 31, a condenser 32, a throttling device (such as an electronic expansion valve), and an evaporator 33. The compressor-condenser-throttling device-evaporator-compressor system forms a refrigerant circulation loop. With the phase change of the refrigerant, the surface of the evaporator can release cooling energy to the air flowing through it, thereby condensing the water in the air. The surface of the condenser can release heat to the air flowing through it, thereby appropriately heating it. If the condenser and evaporator are sequentially arranged along the airflow direction within the humidity control path of the casing, the air flowing through it will be dehumidified.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the water tank 4 is equipped with a water quality sensor 41, a humidification water level sensor 421, and a dehumidification water level sensor 422. The water quality sensor primarily detects the water quality in the tank. If the water quality is poor, the humidification function and the self-cleaning function (described below) cannot operate. Specifically, the humidifier's control unit disables the water pump, thus preventing the humidification and self-cleaning functions from functioning. This effectively solves problems such as scale buildup on the heating element, pump blockage, and clogging of the drip tray due to dirt. The humidification water level sensor primarily monitors whether the water tank is low on water when the humidifier is in humidification mode, and the dehumidification water level sensor primarily monitors whether the water tank is full when the humidifier is in dehumidification mode, thereby ensuring the reliability of the humidifier's operation.

[0090] In one possible implementation, the interior of the housing has an upper space and a lower space. A mounting bracket 104 is disposed in the upper space, housing the aforementioned humidification bracket, evaporator, condenser, self-cleaning bracket, etc. A water tank 5 is disposed in the lower space. The water tank, along with the bottom and sides of the housing, forms a compressor mounting space 105 for mounting the compressor of the dehumidification unit. The mounting bracket 104 and the water tank 5 can be integrally formed or fixedly connected. In this example, the back of the water tank is recessed forward, and the bottom is recessed upward, thus forming a compressor mounting space with the back and bottom of the housing.

[0091] In one possible implementation, the humidifier includes a water collection tray 6 located below the evaporator to collect water condensed on the surface of the evaporator and return it to the water tank through a drain outlet 61. Simultaneously, the water collection tray is also located below the water distributor, so that, under the action of the water pump, water is evenly distributed into the humidifying cotton assembly via the water distributor and water coupler. Excess water flows first into the water collection tray through the drain outlet of the humidifying bracket, and then into the water tank through the drain outlet of the water collection tray.

[0092] In one possible implementation, the humidifier includes a self-cleaning unit 7, which is mainly used to clean the surfaces of the evaporator and condenser. If dust, foreign objects, and other dirt accumulated on the surfaces of the evaporator and condenser are not cleaned in time, the refrigeration quality of the refrigerant circulation loop will be affected, thus affecting the dehumidification quality of the humidifier. Simultaneously, if the dirt on the surfaces of the evaporator and condenser is not cleaned in time, the air quality of the target space, such as the indoor space, will decrease due to the air circulation caused by the fan. The self-cleaning unit 7 mainly includes a self-cleaning bracket 71 and a self-cleaning spray component 72 mounted on the self-cleaning bracket. Under the action of the aforementioned water pump, water from the water tank can be delivered to the self-cleaning spray component to self-clean the evaporator and condenser by spraying. In this example, the self-cleaning spray component is a single component that can be rotatably mounted on the self-cleaning bracket, such as rotating about the axis of the self-cleaning bracket or rotating in multiple directions. Obviously, multiple self-cleaning spray components can also be set, and the self-cleaning spray components can slide along the axis of the self-cleaning bracket, etc.

[0093] Based on the above structure, the working principle of the self-cleaning unit can be as follows: The compressor is activated, and as the evaporator surface releases cold air, the dirt on the evaporator surface freezes into ice along with the condensate. Then, the water pump is activated, and water is sprayed onto the evaporator surface via the self-cleaning spray unit. This allows the ice containing dirt to flow down the evaporator surface into the drip tray and further into the water tank. For the condenser, a similar self-cleaning principle can be achieved by adding a four-way valve to switch the cooling and heating cycle. In a simpler scenario, the condenser can also be self-cleaned by natural spraying, or the heating element can be activated simultaneously with the condenser's self-cleaning process, thereby improving the cleaning effect to some extent.

[0094] In one possible implementation, the humidifier further includes a purification unit, which is mainly used to purify the air used for humidity regulation, thereby optimizing the performance of the humidifier. In this example, the purification unit includes a primary air filtration component 81 that performs relatively basic air filtration and a purification module 82 that can further filter the air. For example, the primary air filtration component may be a filter screen, and the purification module may be a filter element.

[0095] In one possible implementation, the primary air purification component is located inside the housing near the air inlet. For example, sensors that detect the quality of the air to be treated, such as humidity, temperature, and particle size, can be installed on the primary air purification component.

[0096] In one possible implementation, the purification module is integrated with the aforementioned humidification module. For example, both the humidifying cotton assembly and the purification module are mounted on the aforementioned humidification bracket. Exemplarily, the air inlet is located on the rear shell 106 of the unit, and the rear shell has a mounting cavity 107, in which the pre-filter module and the integrated purification module and humidification module are located.

[0097] In one specific example, the air in the indoor space enters the housing through the air inlet, then passes through the pre-filter, the humidifying cotton component of the purification module, the evaporator, and the condenser in sequence, before being delivered back to the indoor space through the air outlet. The fan is located inside the housing near the air outlet, specifically between the downstream side of the condenser and the air outlet.

[0098] As can be seen, in the preferred embodiment of this application, by integrating the humidification and dehumidification functions, the same device can perform both humidity regulation functions. By integrating the water supply tank corresponding to the humidification function and the water storage tank corresponding to the dehumidification function into a single tank, the integration level of the humidifier is improved. The combination of the water distributor and the water coupler allows water to penetrate more evenly into the humidifying cotton assembly, thus ensuring the humidification performance of the humidifier. Integrating the filter element in the purification section with the humidification module reduces maintenance costs and also improves the integration level of the humidifier by allowing simultaneous maintenance. The inclusion of a heating element enhances the humidification performance of the humidifier. The pivotable structure of the humidifying cotton assembly ensures the dehumidification performance of the humidifier. The self-cleaning unit ensures air quality and dehumidification quality during humidifier use. The combination of the pre-filter and the purification module ensures the cleanliness of the air after humidity regulation.

[0099] The technical solutions of this application have been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the scope of protection of this application is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principles of this application, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the scope of protection of this application.
