[0058] a first humidifying device for humidifying the airflow; and

[0059] The interconnection control device according to any of the above solutions.

[0060] The air conditioner interconnection control method provided by the present application is designed on the basis of the structure that the air conditioner and the sweeper each have a first humidifying device and a second humidifying device. Specifically, after the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space is obtained, the present application automatically determines whether there is a target area that needs to be humidified according to the humidity distribution; if there is a target area, and the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet of the air conditioner, the first humidifying device of the air conditioner is used for humidification; if there is a target area, and the position of the target area is outside the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet of the air conditioner, the second humidifying device of the sweeper is used for humidification.

[0061] Further, the sweeper is also provided with a humidity detection device, which can obtain a plurality of air humidity values on the preset motion track of the sweeper when the sweeper moves in the indoor environment space along the preset motion track, and can draw an indoor humidity distribution map according to the plurality of air humidity values and the positions of the corresponding measurement points, and use the indoor humidity distribution map as the obtained humidity distribution in the indoor environment space. Since the preset motion track of the sweeper almost covers the entire indoor environment space and is relatively evenly distributed, the humidity detection device arranged on the sweeper can obtain air humidity values at different positions at different times, which not only reduces the number of humidity detection devices, but also forms an indoor humidity distribution map with comprehensive and relatively evenly distributed measurement point positions. The obtained indoor humidity distribution is also relatively comprehensive and can more accurately reflect the real humidity of the indoor environment space, which is a very ingenious design.

[0062] Further, the indoor unit shell of the air conditioner is provided with a cavity, and an entrance is formed on the indoor unit shell to allow the sweeper to enter and exit the cavity through the entrance. In addition, the indoor unit shell is further provided with a movable water storage tank, which has a first state of providing a water source for the first humidifying device and a second state of providing a water source for the second humidifying device. When it is determined to humidify through the sweeper, the water storage tank can be controlled to be in the second state to make the water storage tank provide a water source for the second humidifying device, and the sweeper is controlled to move out of the cavity together with the water storage tank, so that the sweeper directly humidifies the indoor environment space through the second humidifying device while moving in the indoor environment space. When it is determined to humidify through the air conditioner, the water storage tank can be controlled to be in the first state to make the water storage tank provide a water source for the first humidifying device, and the first humidifying device can humidify the airflow sent by the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby indirectly increasing the humidity in the indoor environment space. It can be seen that the special design of the water storage tank can provide humidifying water for the first humidifying device of the air conditioner and the second humidifying device of the sweeper, and the sharing of the humidifying water storage tank is realized.

[0071] Figure 8 is Figure 3 is a schematic enlarged view of part A in the figure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0072] The inventor realizes that although the air conditioner can humidify, the air supply range of the air conditioner is very limited, resulting in that the humidification range of the air conditioner is very limited, and the humidification effect is greatly reduced in the range that cannot be reached, so the humidification effect of the indoor environment space is not good only by using the air conditioner. The sweeper can also carry a humidifying device, and the motion trajectory distribution of the sweeper is relatively uniform, however, if the sweeper frequently humidifies for a long time, it will inevitably affect the execution of the cleaning task, or cause the working load of the sweeper to be too heavy to affect the service life.

[0073] Therefore, the present application first provides an air conditioner and sweeper interconnection control method, which can realize intelligent interconnection of the air conditioner and the sweeper, provide an intelligent home appliance interconnection scene, and effectively improve the intelligent degree.

[0074] Specifically, the sweeper and the air conditioner are in the same indoor environment space, so as to facilitate the cooperation of the air conditioner and the sweeper, thereby improving the intelligent experience of the user in the indoor environment space.

[0075] It should be noted that the methods of the following embodiments of the present application are described from the side of the interconnection control device of the air conditioner and the sweeper, that is, the control device executes the related steps. And the premise of realizing the following embodiment schemes of the present application is that the air conditioner and the sweeper are interconnected, specifically, the interconnection control device of the air conditioner and the sweeper can be provided between the air conditioner and the sweeper, the control device can receive the signals sent by the air conditioner and the sweeper, and can send signals to the air conditioner and the sweeper. The control device can be additionally and independently provided, or can be provided in the air conditioner.

[0076] The sweeper in the embodiment has the intelligent feature, which is due to the above-mentioned that it can send signals to the control device and receive signals issued by the control device. Specifically, it can be realized by providing a controller on the sweeper. Similarly, the air conditioner can also be provided with its own controller, so as to send signals to the control device and receive signals issued by the control device.

[0077] The air conditioner and sweeper interconnection control method provided by the present application is designed on the basis of the structure that the air conditioner and the sweeper respectively have a first humidifying device and a second humidifying device.

[0078] Specifically, the air conditioner has a first humidifying device for humidifying the airflow and a humidified air outlet for the humidified airflow to flow out, and the sweeper has a second humidifying device. That is, the first humidifying device is configured to humidify the airflow sent out by the indoor unit of the air conditioner, thereby indirectly humidifying the indoor environment space. The second humidifying device can directly humidify the indoor environment air when the sweeper moves in the indoor environment space.

[0079] Figure 1 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the sweeper according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 1 , the interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0080] Step S10, obtaining the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space;

[0081] Step S20, judging whether there is a target area needing humidification in the indoor environment space according to the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space; if yes, proceeding to step S30; if no, returning to step S10;

[0082] Step S30, obtaining the position of the target area;

[0083] Step S40, judging whether the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidified air outlet; if yes, proceeding to step S50; if no, proceeding to step S60;

[0084] Step S50, humidifying the target area by using the first humidifying device; and

[0085] Step S60, humidifying the target area by using the second humidifying device.

[0086] After obtaining the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space, the present application automatically judges whether there is a target area needing humidification according to the humidity distribution; if there is a target area, and the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidified air outlet of the air conditioner, the first humidifying device of the air conditioner is used for humidification; if there is a target area, and the position of the target area is outside the air supply range of the humidified air outlet of the air conditioner, the second humidifying device of the sweeper is used for humidification. It can be seen that, by the interconnection of the air conditioner and the sweeper, the present application intelligently screens out the target area needing humidification, and automatically selects different humidifying devices to realize humidification for the target area in different positions, thereby reasonably distributing the humidification tasks of the air conditioner and the sweeper, ensuring that the humidity of the target area can be effectively improved regardless of the position of the target area, without the participation of the user, and having a high degree of intelligence and reliable humidification effect.

[0087] In some embodiments, the sweeping robot further has a humidity detection device. In these embodiments, the step S10 of obtaining the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space can specifically include:

[0088] When the sweeping robot moves along the preset motion trajectory in the indoor environment space, the humidity detection device obtains a plurality of air humidity values on the preset motion trajectory;

[0089] stores the plurality of air humidity values and the measurement point positions corresponding to each air humidity value; and

[0090] draws an indoor humidity distribution map according to the air humidity values and the measurement point positions.

[0091] When the sweeping robot moves along the preset motion trajectory in the indoor environment space, the humidity detection device can obtain a plurality of air humidity values on the preset motion trajectory, and can draw an indoor humidity distribution map according to the plurality of air humidity values and the measurement point positions corresponding to each air humidity value, and use the indoor humidity distribution map as the obtained humidity distribution in the indoor environment space. Since the preset motion trajectory of the sweeping robot almost covers the entire indoor environment space and is evenly distributed, the humidity detection device arranged on the sweeping robot can obtain air humidity values at different positions at different times, which not only reduces the number of humidity detection devices, but also forms an indoor humidity distribution map with comprehensive and evenly distributed measurement point positions. The obtained indoor humidity distribution is also comprehensive and can more accurately reflect the true humidity of the indoor environment space, which is a very ingenious design.

[0092] In some embodiments, the step S20 of determining whether there is a target area that needs to be humidified in the indoor environment space according to the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space can specifically include:

[0093] comparing the air humidity value of each measurement point position in the indoor humidity distribution map with the preset humidity value at the corresponding position in the preset indoor humidity distribution map; and

[0094] if the air humidity value of any measurement point position is lower than the corresponding preset humidity value in the preset indoor humidity distribution map, it is determined that the measurement point position belongs to the target area that needs to be humidified.

[0095] That is, the present application sets a preset indoor humidity distribution map matching the preset motion trajectory of the sweeping robot, which has a plurality of preset humidity values, and the positions of the plurality of preset humidity values are consistent with the plurality of measurement point positions in the indoor humidity distribution map, so as to compare the actual air humidity value of each measurement point position with the preset humidity value. If the air humidity value of a certain measurement point position is lower than the preset humidity value, it means that the humidity of the measurement point position is low and needs to be humidified, and the measurement point position belongs to part of the target area.

[0096] In some embodiments, the step S40 of judging whether the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet can specifically include:

[0097] obtaining the maximum air supply distance of the humidifying air outlet, and the air supply angle range of the humidifying air outlet in the horizontal plane;

[0098] drawing a sector area with the humidifying air outlet as the center, the maximum air supply distance as the radius, and the air supply angle range as the central angle of the sector area;

[0099] if the position of the target area is located within the sector area, it is determined that the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet; and

[0100] if the position of the target area is located outside the sector area, it is determined that the position of the target area is outside the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet.

[0101] It should be noted that the maximum air supply distance of the humidifying air outlet is the farthest distance that the airflow can be sent out by the humidifying fan of the air conditioner at the highest speed.

[0102] It can be understood that, due to the limitations of the shape, size, air guide structure, etc. of the humidifying air outlet, the humidifying air outlet usually has an air supply angle range in the horizontal plane, and the airflow sent out by the humidifying air outlet can only reach the area defined by the air supply angle range.

[0103] Therefore, the sector area with the humidifying air outlet as the center, the maximum air supply distance as the radius, and the air supply angle range as the central angle of the sector area can accurately express the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet.

[0104] Figure 2 and Figure 3 are respectively schematic structural diagrams of the indoor unit of the air conditioner in different states according to an embodiment of the present application, in order to facilitate understanding, Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sweeper 2 is also shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the air conditioner comprises, in addition to the first humidifying device 20, an indoor unit housing 10, a water storage tank 30 arranged in the indoor unit housing 10 and used for storing water; the indoor unit housing 10 is formed with a cavity 12 at the lower end thereof, and the indoor unit housing 10 is provided with an access opening 13 communicating with the cavity 12 to allow the sweeper 2 to enter and exit the cavity 12 through the access opening 13. In particular, the water storage tank 30 is configured to be movably arranged in the indoor unit housing 10, and has a first state (see FIG. 1) of providing a water source for the first humidifying device 20, and a second state (see FIG. 2) of being supported on the sweeper 2 to provide a water source for the second humidifying device 201. Figure 2 Figure 3

[0105] ​​In the embodiments, the step of humidifying the target area by the second humidifying device 201 can specifically include:

[0106] controlling the water storage tank 30 to be in the second state when the sweeper 2 is in the cavity 12, so that the water storage tank 30 is supported on the sweeper 2; and

[0107] controlling the sweeper 2 to move out of the cavity 12 together with the water storage tank 30 to the outside of the indoor unit shell 10;

[0108] controlling the sweeper 2 to move in the indoor environment space and start the second humidifying device 201 to perform the humidifying operation; and

[0109] the step of humidifying the target area by the first humidifying device 20 includes:

[0110] controlling the water storage tank 30 to be in the first state and starting the first humidifying device 20 to perform the humidifying operation.

[0111] When it is determined to humidify by the second humidifying device 201, the water storage tank 30 can be controlled to be in the second state, so that the water storage tank 30 provides water source for the second humidifying device 201, and the sweeper 2 is controlled to move out of the cavity 12 together with the water storage tank 30, so that the indoor environment space is directly humidified by the second humidifying device 201 while the sweeper 2 moves in the indoor environment space. The water storage tank 30 can continuously provide water source for the second humidifying device 201 by being taken out of the cavity 12 by the sweeper 2, so as to ensure that the second humidifying device 201 can effectively humidify the indoor environment space for a long time.

[0112] When it is determined to humidify by the first humidifying device 20, the water storage tank 30 can be controlled to be in the first state, so that the water storage tank 30 provides water source for the first humidifying device 20, and the first humidifying device 20 can humidify the airflow sent by the indoor unit of the air conditioner, so as to indirectly increase the humidity in the indoor environment space.

[0113] It can be seen that the water storage tank 30 is specially designed to provide humidifying water for the first humidifying device 20 of the air conditioner and the second humidifying device 201 of the sweeper 2, so as to realize sharing of the humidifying water storage tank.

[0114] The air conditioner and the sweeper 2 are interconnected to realize intelligent humidifying operation, and a scene of intelligent interconnection of household appliances is provided, so that the degree of intelligence is high.

[0115] Specifically, Figure 4 is a schematic flow chart of the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the sweeper according to another embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 4 , the interconnection control method of the present application includes:

[0116] Step S10, obtaining the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space;

[0117] Step S20, determining whether there is a target area that needs to be humidified in the indoor environment space according to the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space; if yes, go to step S30; if no, return to step S10;

[0118] Step S30, obtaining the position of the target area;

[0119] Step S40, determining whether the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet; if yes, go to step S50; if no, go to step S60;

[0120] Step S511, controlling the water tank 30 to be in the first state;

[0121] Step S512, starting the first humidifying device 20 to perform humidification operation;

[0122] Step S611, controlling the water tank 30 to be in the second state when the sweeper 2 is in the cavity 12, so that the water tank 30 is supported on the sweeper 2;

[0123] Step S612, controlling the sweeper 2 to carry the water tank 30 together to move out of the cavity 12 to the outside of the indoor unit shell 10; and

[0124] Step S613, controlling the sweeper 2 to move in the indoor environment space and start the second humidifying device 201 to perform humidification operation.

[0125] In some embodiments, before controlling the water tank 30 to be in the first state, the interconnection control method of the application further comprises:

[0126] detecting whether the water tank 30 is out of water;

[0127] if no, controlling the water tank 30 to be in the first state;

[0128] if yes, adjusting the water tank 30 to the second state when the sweeper 2 is in the cavity 12, so that the water tank 30 is supported on the sweeper 2;

[0129] controlling the sweeper 2 to carry the water tank 30 together to move out of the cavity 12 to the outside of the indoor unit shell 10;

[0130] prompting the user to add water to the water tank 30.

[0131] The interconnection control method of the present application does not prompt the user to manually add water when the water storage tank 30 is short of water as in the prior art, but first adjusts the water storage tank 30 to its second state when the sweeper 2 is in the cavity 12, so that the water storage tank 30 is supported on the sweeper 2; then controls the sweeper 2 to move out of the cavity 12 together with the water storage tank 30 to the outside of the indoor unit housing 10, and ingeniously uses the moving function of the sweeper 2 to automatically take the short-of-water water storage tank 30 out of the indoor unit housing 10, exposing the water storage tank 30 to the outside, so as to facilitate the user to directly add water to the water storage tank 30, improving the convenience of adding water to the water storage tank 30. Moreover, the present application does not need to set a complex water adding pipeline on the indoor unit housing 10, and does not need the user to manually take out the water storage tank 30, not only simplifying the structure, but also simplifying the water adding operation of the user, improving the user's experience.

[0132] When the water storage tank 30 is short of water, the sweeper 2 can be in the cavity 12 or outside the cavity 12. Therefore, the position of the sweeper 2 needs to be detected and judged. If the sweeper 2 is in the cavity 12, the state of the water storage tank 30 can be directly adjusted; if the sweeper 2 is outside the cavity 12, the sweeper 2 needs to be first prompted to enter the cavity 12 before the state of the water storage tank 30 is adjusted, so as to ensure that the water storage tank 30 can be stably supported on the sweeper 2.

[0133] Further, after prompting the user to add water to the water storage tank 30, the interconnection control method of the present application further comprises:

[0134] After the first predetermined time, if the weight in the water storage tank 30 no longer changes, the sweeper 2 is controlled to return to the cavity 12; and

[0135] The water storage tank 30 is adjusted to its first state.

[0136] After the sweeper 2 carrying the water storage tank 30 moves out of the indoor unit housing 10, the interconnection control method of the present application further prompts the user to add water to the water storage tank 30, and when the weight in the water storage tank 30 no longer changes after a period of time, controls the sweeper 2 to return to the cavity 12, uses the sweeper 2 to send the water storage tank 30 back to the indoor unit housing 10, and adjusts the water storage tank 30 to the first state, so as to start the first humidifying device 20 to perform the humidifying operation.

[0137] During the entire water adding process of the water storage tank 30, only the user needs to perform a simple water adding operation, without worrying about the position change process of taking out and resetting the water storage tank 30, and the intelligent degree is high. The present application realizes the intelligentization of the water adding process of the water storage tank 30 by using the interconnection of the air conditioner and the sweeper 2, and the intelligent degree is high.

[0138] In some embodiments, after the sweeper 2 moves out of the cavity 12 to the outside of the indoor unit shell 10, and before the second humidifying device 201 is started to perform the humidifying operation, the interconnection control method of the present application further comprises:

[0139] detecting whether the water storage tank 30 is out of water;

[0140] if yes, prompting the user to add water to the water storage tank 30; and

[0141] if no, controlling the second humidifying device 201 to perform the humidifying operation.

[0142] That is, when the indoor environment space is humidified by the sweeper 2, it is also necessary to first determine whether the water storage tank 30 is out of water. Since the water storage tank 30 has been moved out of the cavity 12 with the sweeper 2, if the water storage tank 30 is out of water, the user can be directly prompted to add water to the water storage tank 30; if the water storage tank 30 is not out of water, the second humidifying device 201 can be directly started to perform the humidifying operation.

[0143] Specifically, Figure 5 is a schematic flow chart of an air conditioner and sweeper interconnection control method according to still another embodiment of the present application. Referring to Figure 5 , the interconnection control method of the present application comprises:

[0144] step S10, obtaining the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space;

[0145] step S20, determining whether there is a target area in the indoor environment space that needs to be humidified according to the humidity distribution in the indoor environment space; if yes, proceeding to step S30; if no, returning to step S10;

[0146] step S30, obtaining the position of the target area;

[0147] step S40, determining whether the position of the target area is within the air supply range of the humidifying air outlet; if yes, proceeding to step S50; if no, proceeding to step S60;

[0148] step S521, determining whether the water storage tank 30 is out of water; if yes, proceeding to step S522; if no, proceeding to step S527;

[0149] step S522, adjusting the water storage tank 30 to its second state when the sweeper 2 is in the cavity 12, so that the water storage tank 30 is supported on the sweeper 2;

[0150] step S523, controlling the sweeper 2 to move out of the cavity 12 to the outside of the indoor unit shell 10 together with the water storage tank 30;

[0151] step S524, prompting the user to add water to the water storage tank 30;

[0152] Step S525, it is judged whether the weight in the water storage tank 30 no longer changes after the first preset time length; if yes, step S526 is turned to; if no, it is returned to continue to judge;

[0153] Step S526, the robot cleaner 2 is controlled to return to the cavity 12;

[0154] Step S527, the water storage tank 30 is controlled to be in the first state;

[0155] Step S528, the first humidifying device 20 is started to execute the humidifying operation;

[0156] Step S621, the water storage tank 30 is controlled to be in the second state when the robot cleaner 2 is in the cavity 12, so that the water storage tank 30 is supported on the robot cleaner 2;

[0157] Step S622, the robot cleaner 2 is controlled to carry the water storage tank 30 to move out of the cavity 12 to the indoor unit shell 10;

[0158] Step S623, it is judged whether the water storage tank 30 is out of water; if yes, step S624 is turned to; if no, step S626 is turned to;

[0159] Step S624, the user is prompted to add water to the water storage tank 30;

[0160] Step S625, it is judged whether the weight in the water storage tank 30 no longer changes after the first preset time length; if yes, step S626 is turned to; if no, it is returned to continue to judge; and

[0161] Step S626, the robot cleaner 2 is controlled to move in the indoor environment space and start the second humidifying device 201 to execute the humidifying operation.

[0162] In some embodiments, the step of prompting the user to add water to the water storage tank 30 can specifically include:

[0163] The position where a target human body in the indoor environment space is located is acquired; and

[0164] The robot cleaner 2 is controlled to stop moving after moving to the position where the target human body is located, so as to prompt the target human body to add water to the water storage tank 30.

[0165] That is to say, when there is a target human body in the indoor environment space, the position of the target human body can be acquired, and the robot cleaner 2 can be moved to the position where the target human body is located to remind the target human body to add water to the water storage tank 30. This prompting method is more humanized, more direct, and the user's intelligent experience is better.

[0166] Specifically, the target human body is a preset user with specific identity characteristics, for example, the target human body can be an adult, so as to exclude other users such as children, the elderly, etc. who cannot understand the intention of the sweeper 2 or cannot independently perform the water adding operation.

[0167] In other embodiments, the step of prompting the user to add water to the water storage tank 30 includes:

[0168] controlling the sweeper 2 to move to a preset target position in the indoor environment space and stop moving; and

[0169] sending a water adding prompt signal to a terminal device interconnected with the air conditioner and / or the sweeper 2 to prompt the user to move to the preset target position and add water to the water storage tank 30.

[0170] That is, in other embodiments, a preset target position can be set in advance in the indoor environment space, which can be selected as a position with a water source or close to a water source, such as a kitchen, a washstand, a bathroom, etc. to facilitate the user to perform the water adding operation.

[0171] The sweeper 2 directly moves to the preset target position and stops, waiting for the user to come and add water. In order to facilitate the user to know as soon as possible, the application further sends a water adding prompt signal to the terminal device, so as to facilitate the user to move to the preset target position to add water to the water storage tank 30 as soon as possible, avoiding affecting the humidification process.

[0172] It can be understood that the above two prompting methods can be used alternatively or in combination. For example, a priority order can be set in advance and executed according to the priority order. For example, they can be executed alternately. Of course, they can also be combined in other ways.

[0173] Preferably, in a specific embodiment, if a target human body is identified in the indoor environment space where the air conditioner and the sweeper 2 are located, the target human body is prompted to add water to the water storage tank 30 according to the first method; if no target human body is identified, the corresponding user is prompted to add water to the water storage tank 30 according to the second method.

[0174] The application also provides an interconnected control device of an air conditioner and a sweeper. Figure 6 is a schematic structural block diagram of the interconnected control device according to an embodiment of the application. The interconnected control device 50 of the application includes a processor 51 and a memory 52, the memory 52 stores a machine executable program 53, and the machine executable program 53 is executed by the processor 51 to implement the interconnected control method described in any of the above embodiments.

[0175] As mentioned above, the interconnection control method of the air conditioner and the sweeper of any of the above embodiments is described from the side of the interconnection control device 50, that is, the relevant steps are performed by the interconnection control device 50. In a specific embodiment, the interconnection control device 50 is in data connection with the air conditioner and the sweeper, which can be a server, a cloud, or a network side device, obtains various data of the setting space through the network, and realizes the relevant adjustment by remotely sending instructions to the air conditioner and the sweeper.

[0176] The interconnection control device 50 can also be a kind of centralized control device arranged in the setting space and controlling the air conditioner and the sweeper. The data connection mode of the interconnection control device 50 with the air conditioner and the sweeper includes but is not limited to wireless transmission, infrared transmission, ultrasonic transmission, etc.

[0177] In some embodiments, the interconnection control device 50 can also be part of the air conditioner and be arranged inside the air conditioner and in data connection with the self-controller of the air conditioner, for example, a dedicated interconnection control device is arranged inside the air conditioner and cooperates with the controller specially used for performing component control.

[0178] The application also provides an air conditioner, Figure 7 is a schematic structural block diagram of the air conditioner according to an embodiment of the application. The air conditioner 1 of the application includes a first humidifying device 20 and the interconnection control device 50 described in any of the above embodiments.

[0179] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the indoor unit housing 10 is formed with a humidifying air duct 11 above the cavity 12. The water storage tank 30 is configured to move up and down in a controlled manner to be in a first state when moving upward into the humidifying air duct 11 and in a second state when moving downward onto the sweeper 2. That is, the water storage tank 30 only needs to move up and down linearly to realize the mutual switching between the first state and the second state, and the movement mode is simple and easy to realize.

[0180] Further, the air conditioner 1 further includes a water tank driving device 40 for driving the water storage tank 30 to move up and down in a controlled manner, so as to automatically adjust the state of the water storage tank 30 through the water tank driving device 40, and facilitate intelligent control.

[0181] Specifically, the water tank driving device 40 is used for driving the water storage tank 30 to move linearly in the up and down direction in a controlled manner, so as to simplify the structure of the water tank driving device 40.

[0182] In some embodiments, the water tank driving device 40 includes a first driving motor 41, a first gear transmission mechanism 42, and a rack 43 which are sequentially transmissionally connected.

[0183] The rack 43 is formed on or fixed to the outer side wall of the water storage tank 30 to move synchronously with the water storage tank 30. In addition, the rack 43 extends in the up-down direction to drive the water storage tank 30 to move up and down when the rack 43 moves up and down.

[0184] The first gear transmission mechanism 42 is configured to transmit the driving force generated by the first driving motor 41 to the rack 43 to drive the rack 43 to move the water storage tank 30 up and down.

[0185] Specifically, the first gear transmission mechanism 42 can include at least one gear.

[0186] Specifically, the first driving motor 41 and the first gear transmission mechanism 42 can be arranged inside the casing 10 and outside the water storage tank 30.

[0187] In some embodiments, the first humidifying device 20 includes a humidifying roller 21 configured to rotate in the water storage tank 30 in a controlled manner when the water storage tank 30 is in the first state and to bring water in the water storage tank 30 out when the humidifying roller 21 rotates, so as to humidify the airflow flowing through the humidifying roller 21 in the humidifying air duct 11 with the water brought out.

[0188] Further, the top of the water storage tank 30 is open, and the airflow flowing through the humidifying roller 21 in the water storage tank 30 is in contact with the water brought out by the humidifying roller 21, and the flowing airflow carries away part of the water, the humidity increases, and the humidified airflow is formed. In addition, the flowing airflow can contain dust and other impurities, and when the airflow comes into contact with the water, the dust and other impurities are at least partially dissolved in the water, and the water that is not carried away by the airflow returns to the water storage tank 30 again, achieving the purpose of purifying the airflow.

[0189] For the first humidifying device 20 using a roller to humidify, the humidifying roller 21 does not have water storage capacity, therefore, the water storage tank 30 not only provides a water source for humidification, but also forms an indispensable part of the first humidifying device 20 to realize the humidification function. That is, when the first humidifying device 20 is used to humidify the airflow in the humidifying air duct 11, the water storage tank 30 must be in the first state located in the humidifying air duct 11.

[0190] It can be understood that the humidifying roller 21 can move synchronously with the water storage tank 30, or can not move with the water storage tank 30.

[0191] In some embodiments, the first humidifying device 20 further includes a second driving motor 22 and a second gear transmission mechanism 23.

[0192] The second driving motor 22 is fixedly arranged in the casing 10. That is, the second driving motor 22 does not move with the movement of the water storage tank 30, so as to arrange the electric connection line conveniently and avoid the electric connection line being messy.

[0193] The second gear transmission mechanism 23 is in transmission connection with the second driving motor 22 for transmitting the driving force generated by the second driving motor 22. The second gear transmission mechanism 23 is in transmission connection with the second driving motor 22 at all times, and therefore, the second gear transmission mechanism 23 will not move with the water storage tank 30.

[0194] The humidifying roller 21 is arranged inside the water storage tank 30 and moves synchronously with the water storage tank 30, so that the humidifying roller 21 is in transmission connection with the second gear transmission mechanism 23 when the water storage tank 30 moves to its first state, and the humidifying roller 21 is separated from the second gear transmission mechanism 23 when the water storage tank 30 moves to its second state.

[0195] Specifically, the humidifying roller 21 is rotatably supported inside the water storage tank 30 and is supported by the tank wall of the water storage tank 30, and therefore, the humidifying roller 21 can move synchronously with the water storage tank 30. When the water storage tank 30 moves to its first state, the humidifying roller 21 is in transmission connection with the second gear transmission mechanism 23, and the driving force transmitted by the second driving motor 22 is transmitted to the humidifying roller 21 through the second gear transmission mechanism 23, so as to drive the humidifying roller 21 to rotate. When the water storage tank 30 moves to its second state, the humidifying roller 21 is separated from the second gear transmission mechanism 23, and the humidifying roller 21 will not rotate without the driving force.

[0196] In some alternative embodiments, the humidifying roller 21 can also not move synchronously with the water storage tank 30. At this time, the humidifying roller 21 can be supported by a support structure outside the water storage tank 30. When the water storage tank 30 moves to its first state, the humidifying roller 21 is accommodated therein, and when the second driving motor 22 is started to drive the humidifying roller 21 to rotate, the water in the water storage tank 30 can be brought out. When the water storage tank 30 moves to its second state, the humidifying roller 21 is outside the water storage tank 30, and even if the humidifying roller 21 rotates, the water in the water storage tank 30 will not be brought out, and no humidification effect will be achieved. Therefore, at this time, the second driving motor 22 is not started.

[0197] Figure 8 is Figure 3 A schematic enlarged view of part A. In some embodiments, the bottom of the water storage tank 30 is provided with a water replenishment opening 31, and the water replenishment opening 31 is provided with a water replenishment switch 32. The water replenishment switch 32 is configured to open the water replenishment opening 31 to allow the water in the water storage tank 30 to flow out to the second humidifying device 201 of the robot cleaner 2 through the water replenishment opening 31 when the water storage tank 30 is in the second state, and to block the water replenishment opening 31 to prevent the water in the water storage tank 30 from flowing out through the water replenishment opening 31 after the water storage tank 30 moves upward from the second state.

[0198] It should be noted that the water replenishing switch 32 can be a mechanical switch to open or block the water replenishing port 31 through the interaction of mechanical structures. The water replenishing switch 32 can also be an electrically controlled switch to open or block the water replenishing port 31 under control.

[0199] In some embodiments, the user participates in Figure 8 The water replenishing switch 32 can specifically include a base 321, a top rod 322, and a valve piece 323.

[0200] The base 321 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage tank 30 and covers the water replenishing port 31. The middle part of the base 321 is provided with a through hole 324. Specifically, the base 321 can be located inside the water storage tank 30 to cover the water replenishing port 31 from the inner side of the water replenishing port 31. At this time, the base 321 can be tightly fitted with the inner bottom wall of the water storage tank 30 around the water replenishing port 31 to prevent water in the water storage tank 30 from leaking through the cooperation interface between the base 321 and the inner bottom wall of the water storage tank 30. In other embodiments, the base 321 can also be located outside the water storage tank 30 to cover the water replenishing port 31 from the outer side of the water replenishing port 31. At this time, the base 321 can be tightly fitted with the outer bottom wall of the water storage tank 30 around the water replenishing port 31 to prevent water in the water storage tank 30 from leaking through the cooperation interface between the base 321 and the outer bottom wall of the water storage tank 30.

[0201] The top rod 322 is configured to be movably arranged in the through hole 324 in the up-down direction. It can be understood that a gap is formed between the top rod 322 and the hole wall of the through hole 324, which not only allows the top rod 322 to move smoothly along the through hole 324, but also allows water in the water storage tank 30 to flow through the gap.

[0202] The valve piece 323 is arranged on the top rod 322 and located on the inner side of the base 321 facing the inside of the water storage tank 30.

[0203] The top rod 322 is configured to abut against the limiting protrusion 202 on the second humidifying device 201 and move upward to make the valve piece 323 open the through hole 324 during the switching of the water storage tank 30 from the first state to the second state, and move downward under the action of its own gravity and the pressure of water to make the valve piece 323 block the through hole 324 during the switching of the water storage tank 30 from the second state to the first state.

[0204] In the process of switching the water storage tank 30 from the first state to the second state, the lower end of the top rod 322 abuts against the limiting protrusion 202 on the second humidifying device 201. As the water storage tank 30 continues to move downward, the base 321 continues to move downward with the water storage tank 30, while the top rod 322 stops moving downward due to the abutting action of the limiting protrusion 202, the top rod 322 is gradually lifted by the limiting protrusion 202, and the valve piece 323 on the top rod 322 gradually separates from the base 321, thereby opening the through hole 324. The water in the water storage tank 30 flows to the second humidifying device 201 through the through hole 324 and the water supplementing opening 31, achieving the purpose of supplementing water for the second humidifying device 201.

[0205] In the process of switching the water storage tank 30 from the second state to the first state, the lower end of the top rod 322 gradually separates from the limiting protrusion 202, and the upward pressure of the limiting protrusion 202 on the top rod 322 disappears. Under the pressure of the gravity of the top rod 322 itself and the water in the water storage tank 30 on the top rod 322 and the valve piece 323, the top rod 322 moves downward relative to the water storage tank 30 until the valve piece 323 abuts against the base 321, thereby blocking the through hole 324 on the base 321 and preventing the water in the water storage tank 30 from continuing to flow out.

[0206] Specifically, the base 321 can be provided with a ring of convex edges 325 around the through hole 324 and protruding upward to form a sealing ring effect. The diameter of the valve piece 323 is greater than the diameter of the convex edges 325. When the water storage tank 30 is in the first state, the valve piece 323 tightly abuts against the convex edges 325, improving the sealing effect between the valve piece 323 and the base 321.

[0207] In some embodiments, a guide plate 14 is arranged at the entrance and exit 13, and the guide plate 14 is configured to controllably open the entrance and exit 13 when the sweeper 2 enters and exits the cavity 12. On the one hand, this ensures that the sweeper 2 can smoothly enter and exit the indoor unit housing 10, and on the other hand, this also ensures that the indoor unit housing 10 has a relatively complete appearance when the sweeper 2 does not pass through the entrance and exit 13, thereby improving the aesthetic effect.

[0208] Further, the guide plate 14 is pivotably connected to the housing 10. The pivot shaft 15 between the guide plate 14 and the housing 10 is located at the bottom of the entrance and exit 13, that is, the guide plate 14 is pivoted up and down about the pivot shaft 15. The bottom of the guide plate 14 when it is in the state of blocking the entrance and exit 13 forms a fixed end connected to the pivot shaft 15, and the top of the guide plate 14 when it is in the state of blocking the entrance and exit 13 forms a movable pivot end. The height of the pivot shaft 15 is higher than the height of the bottom of the housing 10, so that the guide plate 14 is inclined to support on the ground when the guide plate 14 is opened, thereby allowing the sweeper 2 to enter and exit the cavity 12 along the guide plate 14.

[0209] That is, the application is reasonably designed by the opening and closing of the guide plate 14, so that the guide plate 14 not only forms a cover plate for opening or closing the entrance 13, but also can guide the sweeper 2 to pass through the entrance 13 smoothly when the entrance 13 is opened, and plays a better guiding role.
