[0024] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0025] Various aspects and features of the present application are described herein with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] These and other characteristics of the present application will become apparent from the following description of a preferred form of embodiment given as a non-limiting example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] It should also be understood that, although the present application has been described with reference to some specific examples, those skilled in the art will be able to realize many other equivalent forms of the present application that have the features described in the claims and are therefore within the scope of protection defined thereby.

[0028] The above and other aspects, features and advantages of the present application will become more apparent in view of the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Specific embodiments of the present application are described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings; however, it should be understood that the embodiments applied for are merely examples of the present application, which may be implemented in a variety of ways. Well-known and / or repeated functions and structures are not described in detail to determine the true intent based on the user's historical operations and to avoid unnecessary or redundant details that make the present application unclear. Therefore, the specific structural and functional details applied for herein are not intended to be limiting, but are merely used as the basis and representative basis for the claims to teach those skilled in the art to use the present application in a variety of ways with substantially any suitable detailed structure.

[0030] This specification may use the phrases "in one embodiment," "in another embodiment," "in yet another embodiment," or "in other embodiments," all of which may refer to one or more of the same or different embodiments according to the present application.

[0031] The embodiment of the present invention provides an adaptive humidification system, which is applied to an air conditioner, such as Figure 1 As shown, the above-mentioned adaptive humidification system includes:

[0032] A pressure sensor 1 is installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner 2;

[0033] A humidity sensor 3 and a temperature sensor 4, both of which are installed at the return air outlet of the air conditioner 2;

[0034] The steam generator 5 is connected to the steam nozzle device 7 in the pipeline corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner 2 through the high-pressure steam pipeline 6, and the steam nozzle device 7 is also connected to a return pipe for recovering steam return water; the steam generated by the steam generator 5 can be directly used for humidifying the air with high efficiency, and the steam generator 5 only needs to be connected to a power supply and a drinking water source to work;

[0035] The controller 8 is used to control the steam generator 5 to start when the pressure sensor 1 detects a pressure signal, indicating that the fan in the air conditioner 2 has been started, and when the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 3 is lower than the first set humidity (30% humidity), and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 4 is higher than the first set temperature (which can be 20 degrees Celsius), the steam generator 5 can be controlled to humidify the air blown out through the air outlet through the steam nozzle device 7; when it is detected that the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 3 reaches the second set humidity (which can be in the humidity range of 35%-40%), the steam generator 5 is stopped, wherein the humidity sensor 3 cannot be set to too high a humidity, because in spring, autumn and summer, the humidity content of the outside air is high, and the air does not need to be humidified. Therefore, the relative humidity will be low only when the temperature is high in winter; at the same time, the steam generator 5 will operate within the humidity range of 35%-40%. The temperature sensor 4 is set above 20 degrees Celsius to prevent the system from using fresh air in spring and autumn to operate at a low temperature without the need for humidification.

[0036] Of course, in actual use, the above-mentioned adaptive humidification system can be applied to passenger ships. Since passenger ships will sail to different regions, the first set temperature and the first set humidity can be determined based on the current area of ​​the passenger ship and combined with the historical temperature and historical humidity records corresponding to the current date of the area where the passenger ship is located. Among them, the historical temperature and historical humidity data can be obtained through the existing local temperature and humidity records, and determined in combination with the current actual temperature and humidity.

[0037] The above-mentioned adaptive humidification system collects the required parameters such as pressure, temperature and humidity, does not rely on the adjustment of the existing air conditioner 2, and achieves the purpose of control through various instruments and meters provided.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the steam generator 5 is connected to the drinking water pipeline so as to provide a water source for the steam generator 5 through the drinking water pipeline;

[0039] The steam generator 5 is provided with a drain port for draining water;

[0040] The reflux pipe is in communication with the steam generator 5 so that the reflux water can be used for steam generation or drainage.

[0041] In this embodiment, the steam nozzle device 7 is arranged based on the shape of the pipe where the air outlet is located, and is made in a prefabricated manner. When it is installed later, it can be fixedly connected to the pipe where the air outlet is located through a flange. Of course, other instruments such as various sensors can also use flanges to facilitate installation.

[0042] Furthermore, the steam nozzle device 7 sprays steam toward one side of the air outlet, and an inclined return ramp is provided between the steam nozzle device 7 and the air outlet on the inner side of the pipeline where the air outlet is located, so that water vapor condensed by the sprayed steam can flow back to the return pipe through the return ramp.

[0043] At the same time, the controller 8 is also used to detect the steam generator 5, the temperature sensor 4 and the humidity sensor 3, so as to send out an alarm signal when the signal detected by the controller 8 does not meet the set requirements. As an example, various parameters such as temperature and relative humidity, as well as the signal of the operation of the steam generator 5 are output, and the fault alarm signal of the steam generator 5 itself can also be fed back. When the signal detected by the control box cannot meet the requirements, the operation of the steam generator 5 will be stopped.

[0044] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the adaptive humidification system provided by the above embodiment of the present invention has a simple overall system, is easy to understand, and has few control variables; at the same time, the system is easy to install, has few connections with other systems, and takes less installation time; further, the above system requires less investment and realizes great functions; in addition, customer comfort and satisfaction can be improved by changing the indoor environment, and the installation of the above system requires less space.

[0045] The above embodiments are only exemplary embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is defined by the claims. Those skilled in the art may make various modifications or equivalent substitutions to the present invention within the essence and protection scope of the present invention, and such modifications or equivalent substitutions shall also be deemed to fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
