[0064] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0065] Reference Figure 1 , shows a schematic structural diagram of an air humidifying device provided in an embodiment of the present invention:
[0066] In practical applications, the air humidification device of the embodiment of the present invention can be arranged inside an air conditioner, and the air humidification device includes a decorative panel component, which is composed of a front shell, a rear shell, a lower air outlet grille and a front panel, wherein the front shell and the rear shell constitute an integral air duct.
[0067] Air outlets may be provided at both ends of the overall air duct, and fans may be provided at the air outlets. The fans may be composed of fan blades and a fan frame. The fan blades are assembled in the fan frame and may rotate with the fan frame.
[0068] A humidity sensor is an electronic component that can detect and measure the water vapor content in the air. It converts the humidity in the air into an electrical signal, which facilitates our quantitative analysis.
[0069] The working principle of humidity sensor is mainly based on the following methods:
[0070] Resistive:
[0071] Moisture-sensitive material: The inside of the sensor is usually coated with a layer of humidity-sensitive material, such as a high molecular polymer.
[0072] Resistance changes, when water vapor in the air is adsorbed onto the humidity-sensitive material, the resistance of the material changes. By measuring the change in resistance, the relative humidity can be calculated.
[0073] Capacitive:
[0074] Capacitance changes. There are two electrodes inside the sensor, with a layer of humidity-sensitive medium in between. When the humidity changes, the dielectric constant of the medium changes, causing the capacitance to change.
[0075] Capacitive sensors have high accuracy and stability and are widely used in the field of precision measurement.
[0076] Thermal conductivity:
[0077] Through heat transfer, there are two temperature sensors inside the sensor, one is exposed to the air and the other is protected. By measuring the temperature difference between the two sensors, the humidity in the air can be calculated.
[0078] Wet-dry bulb principle,The working principle of thermal conductivity sensor is similar to that of traditional wet-dry bulb thermometer.
[0079] Humidity Sensor Applications
[0080] Household appliances: Household appliances such as air conditioners, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers all use humidity sensors to regulate indoor humidity.
[0081] Industrial production: Humidity sensors are used to control humidity during the production process to ensure product quality.
[0082] Meteorological monitoring: Meteorological stations use humidity sensors to monitor atmospheric humidity and provide data for weather forecasts.
[0083] Agriculture: Humidity sensors are used to monitor humidity in greenhouses and sheds to provide a suitable environment for plant growth.
[0084] Healthcare: Humidity sensors are used to monitor humidity in operating rooms, wards and other places to prevent infection.
[0085] Humidity sensor is an important measuring tool that can accurately measure the humidity in the air. By understanding the principle and application of humidity sensor, we can better understand its role in daily life and industrial production.
[0086] The air humidification device also includes a humidity sensor, a water pumping system 101 and a humidifier 102;
[0087] Ultrasonic humidifiers are common household appliances that increase the humidity of indoor air by atomizing water into tiny water particles, thereby improving air quality and making people feel more comfortable.
[0088] The core component of the ultrasonic humidifier is the ultrasonic oscillator. Its working principle can be simply summarized as the following steps:
[0089] Power-on oscillation: When the humidifier is powered on, the built-in ultrasonic oscillator will produce high-frequency vibrations, and the frequency is usually beyond the audible range of the human ear.
[0090] Water atomization: The energy generated by vibration will produce countless small bubbles on the water surface. These small bubbles are broken into ultra-fine particles with a diameter of only 1-10 microns under the action of vibration, which is what we often call water mist.
[0091] Diffusion humidification: These tiny water mist particles are blown into the air by a fan and evaporate quickly, thereby increasing the humidity of the indoor air.
[0092] Figuratively speaking, an ultrasonic humidifier is like a device that continuously produces a "water mist fountain", spreading the water mist evenly into the air.
[0093] Advantages of ultrasonic humidifiers include:
[0094] High humidification efficiency: The atomized water particles are very small and are more easily absorbed by the air, with significant humidification effect.
[0095] Low noise: Although there is vibration, the noise generated is small and will not affect sleep.
[0096] Simple operation: Most ultrasonic humidifiers are easy to operate, just add water and turn on the power.
[0097] Ultrasonic humidifiers are an efficient way of humidification, but attention should be paid to cleaning and humidity control during use to ensure the health of indoor air.
[0098] The humidifier 102 in the embodiment of the present invention may be an ultrasonic humidifier.
[0099] The condensing device of an air conditioner mainly refers to the condenser. It is a heat exchange device that is responsible for converting the refrigerant from gas to liquid and releasing heat. The condenser is usually located in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner.
[0100] The generation of condensed water is a very common phenomenon in the air conditioning refrigeration process. Its formation principle can be simply summarized as follows:
[0101] Refrigerant cycle: When the air conditioner is working, the refrigerant circulates continuously in the system. In the outdoor unit, the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant exchanges heat with the outside air through the condenser.
[0102] Heat transfer: The gaseous refrigerant transfers heat to the outside air, and its own temperature decreases.
[0103] Change of state: When the temperature of the refrigerant decreases below its saturation temperature, a phase change occurs from gas to liquid, a process called condensation.
[0104] Condensate generation: During the condensation process, the refrigerant releases a large amount of latent heat, which will cause the water vapor in the air to condense into water droplets to form condensed water.
[0105] Figuratively speaking, the condenser is like a "radiator", which dissipates the heat of the refrigerant and also "squeezes" out the moisture in the air to form condensed water.
[0106] Factors affecting the generation of condensed water:
[0107] Outdoor temperature and humidity: The higher the outdoor temperature and the greater the humidity, the more condensation will be produced.
[0108] Type and flow rate of refrigerant: Different types of refrigerants and different flow rates will also affect the generation of condensed water.
[0109] The operating status of the air conditioner: The operating status of the air conditioner, such as cooling capacity, wind speed, etc., will also affect the generation of condensed water.
[0110] The air conditioner comprises a condensing device 103 and a water receiving tray 104 for receiving condensed water from the condensing device;
[0111] The condensing device may be provided with an evaporating device bracket, which may be arranged on a side of the condensing device close to the water pumping system, for fixing the water pumping system and its internal accessories.
[0112] The humidity sensor of the embodiment of the present invention is used to obtain humidity environment information, and when the humidity environment information meets preset conditions, controls the pumping system to extract condensed water from the water receiving tray to transport the condensed water to the humidifier; the humidifier is used to humidify the current environment through the condensed water.
[0113] For example, in actual applications, indoor humidity should not be too high or too low, and is generally maintained between 40% and 60%. When the humidity sensor obtains humidity environmental information and, based on the humidity environmental information, determines that the humidity of the current environment is lower than 40%, the pumping system is controlled to extract condensed water from the water receiving tray to transport the condensed water to the humidifier, so that the humidifier can humidify the current environment through the condensed water.
[0114] In an embodiment of the present invention, an air humidification device is configured in an air conditioner, and the air humidification device includes a humidity sensor, a pumping system and a humidifier; the air conditioner includes a condensing device, and a water receiving tray for receiving condensed water from the condensing device; the humidity sensor is used to obtain humidity environment information, and when the humidity environment information meets preset conditions, the pumping system is controlled to extract condensed water from the water receiving tray to transport the condensed water to the humidifier; the humidifier is used to humidify the current environment with the condensed water, so that the humidifier can directly use the air conditioning condensed water for humidification, and the user does not need to add water to the humidifier by himself, thereby improving the working efficiency of the air humidification device.

[0118] The top of the water inlet pipe is connected to the water pump;
[0119] The filtering and sterilizing device is used to filter and sterilize the condensed water before the condensed water is transported to the humidifier by the water pump.
[0120] In actual applications, ultrasonic humidifiers are prone to breeding bacteria. The water mist particles formed after water atomization are suspended in the air, which can easily carry bacteria and minerals in the water. Long-term use may cause indoor air pollution. Excessive humidification will make the indoor humidity too high, breed bacteria, and be harmful to human health.

[0136] The upper filter cover and the lower filter cover are used to encapsulate the housing after the filter element and the ultraviolet lamp are installed.

[0138] In the embodiment of the present invention, the filtering and sterilization device includes a shell, an upper filter cover, a lower filter cover, a filter element and an ultraviolet lamp; a glass lampshade for installing the ultraviolet lamp is arranged inside the shell; a filter element compartment for storing the filter element is arranged around the glass lampshade inside the shell; the upper filter cover and the lower filter cover are used to encapsulate the shell after the filter element and the ultraviolet lamp are installed, thereby improving the overall compactness and airtightness of the filtering and sterilization device.

[0156] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the humidifier includes a first atomization zone and a second atomization zone;
[0157] The first atomization area and the second atomization area are provided with a plurality of atomization sheets;
[0158] The first atomization zone is connected to the upper air outlet;

In the upper / lower air outlet mode, the number of working atomization sheets on the left / right can be controlled according to the humidity environment information obtained by the control chip of the air conditioner based on the humidity sensor. Preferably, the humidity sensor is located at the top of the rear shell, which is closer to the air than other positions.
[0165] refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a schematic flow chart of an air humidification method provided in an embodiment of the present invention;
[0166] For example, when the user turns on the air conditioner, the humidity sensor immediately monitors the humidity in the air, and determines whether the humidity in the air is within a preset humidity range based on the monitoring results. For example, assuming the air humidity is H, 40%<H<60%. When the humidity in the air is within the most comfortable range, the humidification function is not performed, and the humidity in the air continues to be monitored.
[0167] When the humidity H in the air is not within the set range, the next judgment is made;
[0168] When the humidity H≥60%, the humidity in the air is too high, and the air output of the air conditioner will be increased to dehumidify;
[0169] When H<60%, the following logical judgment is performed:
[0170] When the humidity H≤25%, it means that the humidity in the air has reached the lowest level. At this time, the water pump will start to pump water into the filtration and sterilization device. Because the humidity in the air has reached the lowest level, the humidification gear command requires the strongest humidification gear. Therefore, the light intensity command of the ultraviolet lamp is to turn on the strongest level 4 sterilization. After the filtered and sterilized water enters the humidifier, it is necessary to judge whether to turn on the upper or lower humidification function according to the air outlet mode of the air conditioner. When the upper air outlet is met, the strongest upper humidification mode is required, and the atomizers in the first atomization zone work at the same time. When the upper air outlet is not met, the strongest lower humidification mode is required, and the atomizers in the second atomization zone work at the same time.
[0171] This process will continuously monitor the humidity in the air. When humidified to different humidity ranges:
[0172] 25%<H≤30% will start the third-level sterilization and humidification, three-quarters of the atomizers in the first atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop; three-quarters of the atomizers in the second atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop;
[0173] 30%<H≤35% will start secondary sterilization and humidification, half of the atomizers in the first atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop; half of the atomizers in the second atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop;
[0174] 35%<H≤40% will start the first-level sterilization and humidification, one quarter of the atomization sheets in the first atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop; one quarter of the atomization sheets in the second atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop.
[0175] In each humidification mode, the humidity will be monitored in real time and then the humidification mode will be controlled. No matter what the initial humidity is or how many humidification modes are switched in the middle, the humidity can eventually be controlled within the range of 40%<H<60%, thereby improving the user's comfort and ensuring the user's health.
[0176] Reference Fig. 9 , shows a method flow chart of an air humidification device provided in an embodiment of the present invention, which may specifically include the following steps:
[0177] Step 901, calling the humidity sensor to obtain humidity environment information;
[0178] Step 902, when the humidity environment information meets the preset conditions, generating a control command;
[0179] Step 903: Based on the control command, the pumping system is controlled to extract condensed water from the water receiving tray to transport the condensed water to the humidifier, and the humidifier is controlled to humidify the current environment through the condensed water.
[0180] In a specific implementation, an embodiment of the present invention can be applied to an air conditioner equipped with an air humidification device, which includes a humidity sensor, a pumping system and a humidifier; the air conditioner includes a condensing device and a water receiving pan for receiving condensed water from the condensing device.
[0181] In an embodiment of the present invention, an air humidification device is configured in an air conditioner, and the air humidification device includes a humidity sensor, a pumping system and a humidifier; the air conditioner includes a condensing device, and a water receiving tray for receiving condensed water from the condensing device; the humidity sensor is used to obtain humidity environment information, and when the humidity environment information meets preset conditions, the pumping system is controlled to extract condensed water from the water receiving tray to transport the condensed water to the humidifier; the humidifier is used to humidify the current environment with the condensed water, so that the humidifier can directly use the air conditioning condensed water for humidification, and the user does not need to add water to the humidifier by himself, thereby improving the working efficiency of the air humidification device.
[0182] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the control command includes humidification gear commands for the pumping system and the humidifier, and a light intensity command for the ultraviolet lamp. The steps of controlling the pumping system to extract condensed water from the water receiving tray based on the control command to transport the condensed water to the humidifier, and controlling the humidifier to humidify the current environment through the condensed water include:
[0183] Controlling the pumping system to extract condensed water from the water receiving pan based on the control command to deliver the condensed water to the humidifier, and adjusting the light intensity for the ultraviolet lamp based on the light intensity command when the pumping system extracts condensed water from the water receiving pan;
[0184] The humidification gear command is used to control the first atomization zone of the humidifier and / or the atomization sheet of the second atomization zone to atomize the condensed water to humidify the current environment.
[0185] refer to Figure 8 , Figure 8 is a schematic flow chart of an air humidification method provided in an embodiment of the present invention;
[0186] For example, when the user turns on the air conditioner, the humidity sensor immediately monitors the humidity in the air, and determines whether the humidity in the air is within a preset humidity range based on the monitoring results. For example, assuming the air humidity is H, 40%<H<60%. When the humidity in the air is within the most comfortable range, the humidification function is not performed, and the humidity in the air continues to be monitored.
[0187] When the humidity H in the air is not within the set range, the next judgment is made;
[0188] When the humidity H≥60%, the humidity in the air is too high, and the air output of the air conditioner will be increased to dehumidify;
[0189] When H<60%, the following logical judgment is performed:
[0190] When the humidity H≤25%, it means that the humidity in the air has reached the lowest level. At this time, the water pump will start to pump water into the filtration and sterilization device. Because the humidity in the air has reached the lowest level, the humidification gear command requires the strongest humidification gear. Therefore, the light intensity command of the ultraviolet lamp is to turn on the strongest level 4 sterilization. After the filtered and sterilized water enters the humidifier, it is necessary to judge whether to turn on the upper or lower humidification function according to the air outlet mode of the air conditioner. When the upper air outlet is met, the strongest upper humidification mode is required, and the atomizers in the first atomization zone work at the same time. When the upper air outlet is not met, the strongest lower humidification mode is required, and the atomizers in the second atomization zone work at the same time.
[0191] This process will continuously monitor the humidity in the air. When humidified to different humidity ranges:
[0192] 25%<H≤30% will start the third-level sterilization and humidification, three-quarters of the atomizers in the first atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop; three-quarters of the atomizers in the second atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop;
[0193] 30%<H≤35% will start secondary sterilization and humidification, half of the atomizers in the first atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop; half of the atomizers in the second atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop;
[0194] 35%<H≤40% will start the first-level sterilization and humidification, one quarter of the atomization sheets in the first atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop; one quarter of the atomization sheets in the second atomization zone will work, and the rest will stop.
[0195] In each humidification mode, the humidity will be monitored in real time and then the humidification mode will be controlled. No matter what the initial humidity is or how many humidification modes are switched in the middle, the humidity can eventually be controlled within the range of 40%<H<60%, thereby improving the user's comfort and ensuring the user's health.
