[0097] In other embodiments, the weight percentage of the binder is set to 5%, the weight percentage of the hygroscopic material is set to 60%, the weight percentage of the generating material is set to 35%, the heating temperature of the second heating element 120 is maintained at 40°C, and the concentration of the negative ions generated by this scheme is 8-13 million / m 3 .

[0098] Through a large number of experiments, it is found that when the heating temperature of the second heating element 120 is maintained at 80-100°C, the concentration of the generated negative ions is relatively high, and these negative ions contain a large amount of hydrated negative ions. The temperature of the wind beam downstream of the first heating element 110 is maintained at 75-150°C, and the temperature control mode of the first heating element 110 is the same during the experiment.

[0099] In some example embodiments, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the first heating member 110 includes a honeycomb structure of thermistors, ensuring that the first heating member 110 has good ventilation. Since the thermistors are metal components, the adhesion of the hygroscopic material and / or the generated material on the thermistors is poor, and the frequent heating and cooling of the thermistors can easily cause the hygroscopic material and / or the generated material to fall off. Therefore, an adhesion strength enhancing layer is first provided on the thermistors, and then the hygroscopic material and / or the generated material is provided on the adhesion strength enhancing layer to enhance the adhesion strength of the hygroscopic material and / or the generated material, so that the hygroscopic material and / or the generated material is less likely to fall off.

[0100] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the second heating member 120 includes at least one of a thermistor and a graphene heating film. When the second heating member 120 includes a thermistor, an adhesion strength enhancing layer can also be provided on the surface of the second heating member 120, and then the generated material is provided on the adhesion strength enhancing layer to enhance the adhesion strength of the generated material, thereby solving the problem of easy falling off of the generated material.

[0101] In some embodiments, the adhesion strength enhancing layer can be made by a process of impregnation, drying and calcination. The composition of the adhesion strength enhancing layer can include at least one of silica sol, aluminum sol, pseudo-boehmite and bentonite, all of which can achieve the purpose of the present application without deviating from the design idea of the present application, and are not repeated here, and all should be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0102] The hygroscopic material can include at least one of molecular sieves, activated alumina, silica gel and metal organic frameworks; the composition of the generated material can include at least one of tourmaline and negative ion powder, which can be tourmaline powder, modified tourmaline powder, rare earth element powder, etc.; the fan 200 can be located upstream or downstream of the heating unit; all of the above can achieve the purpose of the present application without deviating from the design idea of the present application, and are not repeated here, and all should be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0103] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 The fan 200 is located downstream of the first heating member 110, and the fan 200 forms a wind beam flowing from the upstream of the first heating member 110 to the downstream of the first heating member 110 in a negative pressure suction manner. In other embodiments, the fan 200 is located upstream of the first heating member 110, and the fan 200 forms a wind beam flowing from the upstream of the first heating member 110 to the downstream of the first heating member 110 in a positive pressure blowing manner.

[0104] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the temperature detection unit 400 is arranged downstream of the first heating member 110 and is configured to detect the temperature of the air flow downstream of the first heating member 110. In this way, the temperature of the air flow downstream of the first heating member 110 can be controlled by adjusting the heating power of the first heating member 110 according to the temperature data detected by the temperature detection unit 400, so as to control the generation speed of the hydrated negative ions.

[0105] In some example embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the air treatment device further comprises a humidity detection unit 500 configured to detect the humidity of the air upstream of the hygroscopic material and the humidity of the air downstream of the hygroscopic material, and a control unit, wherein the humidity detection unit 500, the fan 200 and the heating unit are electrically connected to the control unit.

[0106] During the hygroscopic process, the humidity detection unit 500 obtains the humidity of the air upstream and downstream of the hygroscopic material, and the control unit closes the fan 200 or performs the process of generating hydrated negative ions when the humidity difference between the air upstream and downstream of the hygroscopic material reaches a first set value. The first set value can be set to be not greater than 3%, at which time the hygroscopic material is basically saturated with water, so that the control unit can be used to close the fan 200 to save energy, and of course the control unit can also be used to perform the process of generating hydrated negative ions to improve the air quality of the environment.

[0107] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the humidity detection unit 500 comprises a first humidity sensor and a second humidity sensor, and the first humidity sensor and the second humidity sensor are respectively arranged upstream and downstream of the first heating member 110, and the first humidity sensor and the second humidity sensor are electrically connected to the control unit. Specifically, the first humidity sensor is arranged upstream of the first heating member 110, and the second humidity sensor is arranged downstream of the first heating member 110; during the hygroscopic process, the control unit controls the fan 200 to operate, and the environmental air flows from the upstream of the first heating member 110 to the downstream of the first heating member 110 under the action of the fan 200, the first humidity sensor detects the humidity of the air flow upstream of the first heating member 110, and the second humidity sensor detects the humidity of the air flow downstream of the first heating member 110. Since the hygroscopic material adsorbs the water in the air flow during the process of passing through the first heating member 110, the percentage of the humidity of the air flow detected by the first humidity sensor upstream of the first heating member 110 is not less than the percentage of the humidity of the air flow detected by the second humidity sensor downstream of the first heating member 110.

[0108] In some embodiments, the air treatment device further comprises a housing (not shown in the figures) having an air passage, the heating unit and the fan 200 are arranged in the air passage. The fan 200 operates, and the ambient air enters the air passage from an air inlet of the air passage, and then passes through the heating unit, the moisture absorption material and the generating material, and is discharged from an air outlet of the air passage back to the environment.

[0109] The air treatment device provided by the present application can generate 5 million to 30 million negative ions per cubic centimeter, and the negative ions contain a large amount of hydrated negative ions.

[0110] The air treatment device includes an air conditioner, an air purifier and the like.

[0111] The embodiment of the present application further provides a control method of the air treatment device, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the control method comprises the following steps.

[0112] The moisture absorption process: the fan 200 operates, and the heating unit is turned off.

[0113] The generating hydrated negative ion process: the fan 200 operates, and the heating unit operates.

[0114] The moisture absorption process: the fan 200 operates, and the heating unit is turned off. Under the action of the fan 200, the ambient air forms a wind beam that blows from the upstream of the heating unit to the downstream of the heating unit, and the moisture absorption material adsorbs and stores the moisture in the wind beam.

[0115] The generating hydrated negative ion process: the fan 200 operates, and the heating unit operates. Under the action of the fan 200, the ambient air forms a wind beam that blows from the upstream of the heating unit to the downstream of the heating unit. The heating unit releases the moisture adsorbed by the moisture absorption material in a concentrated manner. A large amount of moisture is released in the process of passing through the generating material, and a large amount of hydrated negative ions are generated by the splitting of water molecules in the generating material. The hydrated negative ions are blown to the environment along with the wind beam, thereby improving the air quality of the environment.

[0116] The control method of the air treatment device eliminates the manual water adding operation of the user, does not increase the environmental humidity, and has better practicability.

[0117] In some examples, in the moisture absorption process, the operating speed of the fan 200 is a first set speed; in the generating hydrated negative ion process, the operating speed of the fan 200 is a second set speed, and the second set speed is not greater than the first set speed. In the generating hydrated negative ion process, the operating speed of the fan 200 is reduced, which is beneficial to the more sufficient contact between the moisture released by the moisture absorption material and the generating material, prolongs the contact time between the moisture released by the moisture absorption material and the generating material, and thus the generation amount of the hydrated negative ions can be improved.

[0118] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the first set speed is A, and the second set speed is 0.05*A to 0.25*A. In the process of generating hydrated negative ions, more hydrated negative ions can be generated, and the environmental air quality improvement effect is better.

[0119] In some examples, the control method further includes: in the dehumidification process, based on the running time of the fan 200 reaching a first set time, the fan 200 is turned off or the process of generating hydrated negative ions is performed. By reasonably setting the first set time, it is ensured that the moisture adsorbed by the dehumidification material reaches saturation or is basically saturated in the dehumidification process, and then the fan 200 is turned off to save energy (or the process of generating hydrated negative ions is performed to improve the environmental air quality).

[0120] In other examples, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the control method further includes: in the dehumidification process, the air humidity upstream and downstream of the dehumidification material is obtained, and based on the air humidity difference between the upstream and downstream of the dehumidification material reaching a first set value, the fan 200 is turned off or the process of generating hydrated negative ions is performed. It can be that the first set value is set to be not greater than 3%, at which time the moisture adsorbed by the dehumidification material is saturated or is basically saturated, and therefore the fan 200 is turned off to save energy (or the process of generating hydrated negative ions is performed to improve the environmental air quality).

[0121] It can be that the first set value is set to be 3%; or it can be that the first set value is set to be 2%; or it can be that the first set value is set to be 1%, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and the purpose does not deviate from the design idea of the present application, and will not be repeated here, and all should be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0122] In some examples, the heating unit includes a first heating element 110, and a temperature detection unit 400 is arranged downstream of the first heating element 110. The control method further includes: during the generation of the hydrated negative ions, obtaining the temperature downstream of the first heating element 110, and controlling the first heating element 110 according to the temperature so that the temperature downstream of the first heating element 110 is maintained at a set temperature for a second set time period, and then the first heating element 110 is turned off or the moisture absorption process is performed. During the generation of the hydrated negative ions, the first heating element 110 is controlled according to the temperature detected by the temperature detection unit 400 so that the temperature downstream of the first heating element 110 is maintained at the set temperature for the second set time period, so that the moisture absorption material releases all or substantially all of the absorbed moisture, and the released moisture is split to generate hydrated negative ions under the action of the generation material, and then the first heating element 110 is turned off to save energy consumption. If the environmental air quality is not improved, the fan 200 is turned off to save energy consumption. If the environmental air quality is still improved, the moisture absorption process and the generation of hydrated negative ions are performed in sequence. The set temperature is 75-150°C, which can improve the generation amount of hydrated negative ions. The second set time period can be determined according to experiments.

[0123] The set temperature can be set to 75°C, or the set temperature can be set to 115°C, or the set temperature can be set to 150°C, etc. The above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and the purpose does not deviate from the design idea of the present application. Details are not repeated here, and all should be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0124] Further, the heating unit further includes a second heating element 120, and the control method further includes: during the generation of the hydrated negative ions, the second heating element 120 is controlled to heat at a set heating temperature, and the second heating element 120 is turned off when the first heating element 110 is turned off. The second heating element 120 is controlled to heat at a set heating temperature, and the generation amount of hydrated negative ions can be improved by reasonably setting the set heating temperature. The set heating temperature is 60-120°C.

[0125] The set heating temperature can be set to 60°C, or the set heating temperature can be set to 90°C, or the set heating temperature can be set to 120°C, etc. The above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and the purpose does not deviate from the design idea of the present application. Details are not repeated here, and all should be within the protection scope of the present application.

[0126] In other examples, as Figure 5As shown, the heating unit comprises a first heating member 110, and a temperature detecting unit 400 is arranged downstream of the first heating member 110. The control method further comprises: obtaining the temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 during the generation of the hydrated negative ions, and controlling the first heating member 110 according to the temperature so as to maintain the temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 at a corresponding set temperature in stages, and then turning off the first heating member 110 or performing the moisture absorption process.

[0127] During the generation of the hydrated negative ions, the first heating member 110 is controlled according to the temperature detected by the temperature detecting unit 400 so as to maintain the temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 at a corresponding set temperature in stages, and the hydrated negative ions are regenerated in stages (i.e. in stages). After the moisture absorption material releases all or substantially all of the absorbed moisture, the first heating member 110 is turned off to save energy. If the improvement of the air quality of the environment is not performed, the fan 200 is turned off to save energy. If the improvement of the air quality of the environment is still performed, the moisture absorption process and the generation of the hydrated negative ions are performed in turn.

[0128] Further, the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 in the later stage is greater than or equal to the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 in the former stage. That is, during the generation of the hydrated negative ions, the temperature of the moisture absorption material is increased in stages, which can prolong the release time of the hydrated negative ions.

[0129] In an embodiment, the temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 is maintained at a corresponding set temperature in five stages. In the first stage, the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 is 30-40°C, and the duration is 2-20 min. In the second stage, the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 is 40-50°C, and the duration is 2-20 min. In the third stage, the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 is 50-60°C, and the duration is 2-20 min. In the fourth stage, the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 is 60-75°C, and the duration is 2-20 min. In the fifth stage, the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110 is 75-150°C, and the duration is 2-20 min. This scheme can prolong the release time of the hydrated negative ions by regenerating the hydrated negative ions in stages during the generation of the hydrated negative ions.

[0130] Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the heating unit further comprises a second heating member 120 arranged downstream of the first heating member 110. The second heating member 120 is arranged to heat the moisture absorption material to a temperature higher than the set temperature downstream of the first heating member 110. Figure 6As shown, the heating unit further comprises a second heating element 120, and the control method further comprises: controlling the second heating element 120 to heat at a set heating temperature, and closing the second heating element 120 when the first heating element 110 is closed. Controlling the second heating element 120 to heat at a set heating temperature can improve the generation amount of hydrated negative ions by reasonably setting the set heating temperature. The set heating temperature is 60-120°C.

[0131] The set heating temperature can be set to 60°C, or the set heating temperature can be set to 90°C, or the set heating temperature can be set to 120°C, etc. The above can achieve the purpose of the present application, and the purpose does not deviate from the design idea of the present application. Therefore, it is not repeated here, and it should be within the protection scope of the present application.
