Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an air conditioner with a humidifying function. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the popularity of air conditioners, people use air conditioners in more and more scenarios. However, long-time operation of the air conditioner can make the water content of air in the room decrease, and people in this environment will feel dry. It is believed that this experience is particularly obvious in the dry mouth and throat feeling after waking up. In recent years, high-end air conditioner products have been equipped with humidifying functions, such as water mist humidification and automatic humidification, to reduce the occurrence of dryness to a certain extent.

[0003] However, the water of most humidifiers needs to be added by the user, and frequent disassembly of the water tank not only brings unnecessary trouble to the user, but also increases the risk of water entering other components. Therefore, automatic humidification and water replenishment are hot topics to solve user pain points. SUMMARY

The humidifying module has two positions, i.e., a cooling position and a heating position. The humidifying water path of the electromagnetic valve water inflow module includes a small-flow first humidifying water path corresponding to the opening of the cooling position and a large-flow second humidifying water path corresponding to the opening of the heating position. When the air conditioner is in a cooling state, the cooling mode is mostly started in summer, the air humidity level is high, and only the air humidity in the space needs to be supplemented, so the water consumption is low. Therefore, the water outlet end of the water inflow valve is connected to the first humidifying water path to control the input amount of humidifying water at a low level. When the air conditioner is in a heating state, the humidity in the room decreases sharply, and people in this humidity condition will feel obviously uncomfortable. In order to quickly meet the requirement that the air humidity reaches an appropriate level, the ordinary humidifying position cannot meet the humidifying requirement in a short time.

[0058] BACKGROUND

[0059] With the widespread use of air conditioners, people are using them in more and more situations. However, prolonged operation of air conditioners reduces the moisture content of the air in a room, making people feel dry. This experience is especially noticeable after waking up with a dry mouth and throat. To alleviate the discomfort caused by dryness, many mid-to-high-end air conditioners in recent years have added humidification functions, including water mist humidification and automatic humidification, which have mitigated the dryness to some extent.

[0060] However, most humidifiers require users to add water themselves. Frequent disassembly of the water tank not only causes unnecessary trouble for users, but also increases the risk of water entering other parts. Therefore, automatic humidification and water replenishment has become a hot topic for solving user pain points.

[0061] Based on this, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the first aspect of this application provides an air conditioner with a humidification function, comprising:

[0062] The humidification device includes a humidification module 100 and a solenoid valve water inlet module 200. The humidification module 100 includes a cooling mode and a heating mode.

[0063] The humidification water circuit 300 includes a first humidification water circuit 301 and a second humidification water circuit 302. The first humidification water circuit 301 is connected to the outlet of the solenoid valve inlet module 200 when the humidification module 100 is in the cooling mode, and the second humidification water circuit 302 is connected to the outlet of the solenoid valve inlet module 200 when the humidification module 100 is in the heating mode.

[0064] The air conditioner has a cooling mode and a heating mode. When the air conditioner is running in cooling mode, the humidification module 100 operates at the corresponding cooling level and humidifying water is input to the humidification area of ​​the humidification module 100 through the first humidification water path 301. When the air conditioner is running in heating mode, the humidification module 100 operates at the corresponding heating level and humidifying water is input to the humidification area of ​​the humidification module 100 through the second humidification water path 302.

[0065] In cooling mode, the water flow rate provided by the first humidification water path 301 to the humidification module is less than that provided by the second humidification water path 302 to the humidification module in heating mode.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present application, the water inlet module 200 directly controls the water inlet amount of the humidifying module 100 during humidification, which saves a large part of space and avoids the inconvenience of users adding water themselves. The humidifying module 100 is divided into two positions of refrigeration and heating, and the humidifying water path 300 of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 includes a small-flow first humidifying water path 301 corresponding to the refrigeration position and a large-flow second humidifying water path 302 corresponding to the heating position. When the air conditioner is in the refrigeration state, since the refrigeration mode is mostly started in summer, the air humidity level is relatively high, and only a proper amount of air humidity in the space is needed, so the water consumption is relatively small. Therefore, the water outlet end of the water inlet valve is connected to the first humidifying water path 301 to control the input amount of humidifying water at a low level. When the air conditioner is started in the heating position, the humidity in the room drops sharply, and people will feel obviously uncomfortable in this humidity condition. In order to quickly meet the requirement of air humidity reaching a suitable level, the ordinary humidifying position cannot meet the humidifying requirement in a short time, so the water outlet end of the water inlet valve is connected to the second humidifying water path 302 to control the input amount of humidifying water at a high level to meet the requirement of rapid humidification in a short time.

[0067] Preferably, a rotatable water blocking piece 800 is arranged at the water outlet end position of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200. The water blocking piece 800 has a first rotation position for opening the first humidifying water path 301 and closing the second humidifying water path 302 when rotating, so that the first humidifying water path 301 is connected to the water outlet end of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200. The water blocking piece 800 also has a second rotation position for opening the second humidifying water path 302 and closing the first humidifying water path 301 when rotating, so that the second humidifying water path 302 is connected to the water outlet end of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200.

[0068] Further, in some possible embodiments, the first humidifying water path 301 includes a first water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet end of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 and connected to the water outlet end of the humidifying module 100.

[0069] The second humidifying water path includes a second water inlet pipe connected to the water inlet end of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 and connected to the water outlet end of the humidifying module 100.

[0070] Preferably, the pipe diameter of the first water inlet pipe is smaller than the pipe diameter of the second water inlet pipe, so that the water flow of the first water inlet pipe is smaller than the water flow of the second water inlet pipe.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, by designing different pipe diameters of the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe, the water flow rates of the two water paths can be accurately controlled. The pipe diameter of the first water inlet pipe is smaller, so its water flow rate is smaller than that of the second water inlet pipe. Such a design allows the air conditioner to adjust the supply amount of humidification water according to different requirements of the cooling and heating modes. In the cooling mode, because the outdoor temperature is relatively high, the indoor humidity is relatively large, and therefore less humidification amount is required. The small pipe diameter design of the first water inlet pipe can reduce the flow rate of humidification water to adapt to the low humidification requirement in the cooling mode. In the heating mode, because the outdoor temperature is relatively low, the indoor humidity is small, and more humidification amount is required to maintain the indoor humidity comfortable. The large pipe diameter design of the second water inlet pipe can increase the flow rate of humidification water to adapt to the high humidification requirement in the heating mode. By adjusting the pipe diameter to control the water flow rate instead of using a complex valve or pump system, the design can be simplified, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs can be reduced.

[0072] Further, in some possible implementations, the humidification device further comprises:

[0073] a flow sensor, the flow sensor comprising a first flow sensor for detecting the water flow amount of the first water inlet pipe per unit time and a second flow sensor for detecting the water flow amount of the second water inlet pipe per unit time;

[0074] a controller, the controller being configured to control the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 to open and close according to the detection value of the first flow sensor when the air conditioner executes the cooling mode, and the controller being further configured to control the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 to open and close according to the detection value of the second flow sensor when the air conditioner executes the heating mode.

[0075] In the embodiments of the present application, the first flow sensor and the second flow sensor respectively monitor the water flow amount of the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe per unit time, so that the flow rate of humidification water can be accurately controlled, and the humidification effect can be ensured to match the cooling and heating modes of the air conditioner. The controller automatically controls the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 to open and close according to the detection value of the flow sensor, which reduces manual intervention and improves the automation degree of the system. The controller adjusts the opening state of the electromagnetic valve according to actual requirements, which can avoid excessive humidification or insufficient humidification, thereby saving energy and improving the humidification efficiency. By accurately controlling the humidification amount, the indoor humidity can be better maintained at an appropriate level, and the comfort level of the living or working environment can be improved.

[0076] Further, in some possible implementations, the first water inlet pipe is a soft rubber pipe with a pipe diameter of 3-4 mm;

[0077] the second water inlet pipe is a soft rubber pipe with a pipe diameter of 6-7 mm.

[0078] Further, in some possible implementations, the water inlet end of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 is connected with a main water inlet pipe 400, and the water inlet end of the main water inlet pipe 400 is used to be connected to a faucet 500 in an open state.

[0079] Further, in some possible implementations, the air conditioner further comprises a controller and a temperature sensor;

[0080] The temperature sensor is used to detect the indoor temperature value, and the controller is used to start the cooling mode when the indoor temperature value is higher than a first set value, and start the heating mode when the indoor temperature value is lower than a second set value;

[0081] The air conditioner further comprises a humidity sensor used to detect the indoor humidity value when the air conditioner executes the cooling mode and the heating mode, and the controller is used to control the opening and closing of the humidifying device according to the humidity value detected by the humidity sensor.

[0082] Specifically, the water inlet 2012 of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 is connected with the outdoor faucet 500 through the main water inlet pipe 400, and the main water inlet pipe 400 is preferably a hose which can be wrapped through the wall together with the air conditioner drain pipe 700 and the copper pipe. The air conditioner is preferably a cabinet machine, as shown in the drawings. Figure 3 As shown, the air inlet side of the cabinet machine is provided with a water pipe through hole. When the faucet 500 is opened (automatic water feeding is enabled, and therefore the faucet 500 must be in an open state), water flows into the water inlet 2012 of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 through the main water inlet pipe 400. The water inlet of the humidifying module 100 is directly communicated with the water outlet 2013 of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 through soft rubber water pipes (i.e. the first water inlet pipe and the second water inlet pipe), and the water inlet amount of the humidifying module 100 is controlled by the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200.

[0083] The water amount control mode of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200: a smaller pipe diameter of 1 / 8 inch (about 3.175 mm) is arranged at the water outlet 2013 of the water inlet valve in the cooling mode, and a flow sensor (detecting the water amount passing through in a unit time) is matched to accurately control the water feeding amount, so as to realize the mist humidification. A pipe diameter of 1 / 4 inch (about 6.35 mm) is arranged at the water outlet 2013 of the water inlet valve in the heating mode, and a flow sensor is matched to meet the rapid water feeding in a short time, so as to achieve the purpose of rapid humidification. The pipe diameter can control the water inlet flow rate, and the flow sensor can send data to the control system to timely cut off the power supply of the electromagnetic water inlet valve to stop the humidification.

[0084] The humidifying device provided in the embodiments of the present application cancels the water storage tank in the traditional humidifying device, and realizes the coordinated adjustment of temperature and humidity through the common control of the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 and the temperature and humidity sensor in the air conditioner. Specifically, when the indoor temperature is higher than the set value, the control system starts the cooling mode to reduce the indoor temperature; when the indoor temperature is lower than the set value, the control system starts the heating mode to increase the indoor temperature; when the indoor humidity reaches the set value, the control system can stop the humidification mode; and when the indoor humidity is lower than the set value, the control system can prompt the user to use humidification.

[0085] Further, in some possible implementation manners, the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 comprises:

[0086] a valve body 201, an internal part of the valve body 201 is formed with a water storage cavity 2011, and a surface of the valve body 201 is formed with a water inlet 2012 and a water outlet 2013 which are in communication with the water storage cavity 2011;

[0087] an electromagnetic driving assembly and an on-off assembly, the on-off assembly is arranged at the position of the water outlet 2013 and is used for opening or closing the water outlet 2013, and the electromagnetic driving assembly is connected with the on-off assembly together;

[0088] wherein the on-off assembly is capable of opening the water outlet 2013 when the electromagnetic driving assembly is powered on, and closing the water outlet 2013 when the electromagnetic driving assembly is powered off.

[0089] In the embodiments of the present application, the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 controls the opening and closing of the on-off assembly through the electromagnetic driving assembly, realizes the accurate control of the water outlet 2013, and thus accurately controls the flow of humidification water. Through electromagnetic driving, the automatic water flow control can be realized without manual intervention, and the automation degree of the system and the user convenience are improved.

[0090] Further, in some possible implementation manners, the water outlet 2013 is arranged at the bottom of the water storage cavity 2011, the on-off assembly is arranged at the position of the water outlet 2013 at the bottom side inside the water storage cavity 2011, and the electromagnetic driving assembly is arranged above the on-off assembly and is connected with the on-off assembly together at the bottom thereof;

[0091] wherein

[0092] the electromagnetic driving assembly is capable of driving the on-off assembly to move upward to open the water outlet 2013 at the bottom of the water storage cavity 2011 when the electromagnetic driving assembly is powered on;

[0093] the on-off assembly is capable of moving downward under the action of gravity to close the water outlet 2013 at the bottom of the water storage cavity 2011 when the electromagnetic driving assembly is powered off.

[0094] The water outlet 2013 is arranged at the bottom of the water containing cavity 2011 in the embodiment of the application, so that the water flow is more concentrated and is convenient to control. The on-off assembly is arranged at the position of the water outlet 2013, so that the on-off of the water flow can be directly controlled, and the accuracy of the water flow control is improved. The electromagnetic driving assembly is arranged above the on-off assembly and is connected with the on-off assembly at the bottom. This design simplifies the structure of the module, reduces the number of components, and is convenient for integration and maintenance. The energization and de-energization of the electromagnetic driving assembly can quickly drive the on-off assembly to move upward or downward, so as to quickly open or close the water outlet 2013, and the response speed of the system is improved. When the electromagnetic driving assembly is de-energized, the on-off assembly automatically closes the water outlet 2013 by relying on the gravity, so that the continuous energy consumption is reduced and the energy consumption of the system is reduced.

[0095] Further, in some possible embodiments, the electromagnetic driving assembly comprises a spring 202 and an iron core 203 arranged inside the water containing cavity 2011 and connected in sequence from top to bottom, and an electromagnet 205 surrounding the outer periphery of the iron core 203 and wound with a coil 204, and the on-off assembly comprises a valve disc 206 arranged at the position of the water outlet 2013 at the bottom of the water containing cavity 2011, and the bottom of the valve disc 206 is fixedly connected with a rubber diaphragm 207, the top end of the spring 202 is connected to the inner top end of the valve body 201, and the bottom end of the iron core 203 is connected to the top of the valve disc 206.

[0097] When the coil 204 is energized, the iron core 203 can be attracted to move upward under the magnetic field generated by the coil 204, so as to open the water outlet 2013 by driving the valve disc 206 to move upward.

[0098] When the coil 204 is de-energized, the iron core 203 can move downward under the action of gravity, so as to close the water outlet 2013 by driving the valve disc 206 to move downward.

[0099] In the embodiment of the application, the movement of the iron core 203 is accurately controlled by the magnetic field of the electromagnet 205, and then the opening and closing of the valve disc 206 are controlled, so that the water outlet 2013 is accurately controlled. The spring 202, the iron core 203 and the electromagnet 205 are connected in sequence and are arranged around the outer periphery of the iron core 203, so that the electromagnetic driving assembly has a compact structure and saves space. When the coil 204 is energized, the iron core 203 is quickly attracted to move upward, and when the coil 204 is de-energized, the iron core 203 quickly moves downward. This rapid response is helpful to quickly adjust the water flow. After the coil 204 is de-energized, the iron core 203 is automatically reset by relying on the gravity, so that the demand for continuous power is reduced and the energy consumption is reduced.

[0100] Further, in some possible implementations, the water inlet 2012 of the valve body 201 is provided with a filter 600 for filtering the humidification water before entering the water cavity 2011.

[0101] The valve disc 206 is further provided with a pressure relief hole 2061, which is open at one end to the water cavity 2011 and at the other end to the water outlet 2013 of the valve body 201. When the valve disc 206 closes the water outlet 2013, the opening of the pressure relief hole 2061 at the side of the water cavity 2011 is closed. When the valve disc 206 opens the water outlet 2013, the opening of the pressure relief hole 2061 at the side of the water cavity 2011 is opened.

[0102] The filter 600 in the embodiment of the present application can filter out impurities such as particulate matter and microorganisms in the humidification water before entering the water cavity 2011, protect the humidification system from pollution, and improve the cleanliness of the humidification water. The filter 600 can prevent larger particulate matter from entering the water outlet 2013, reduce the risk of clogging the water outlet 2013, and ensure smooth water flow. The pressure relief hole 2061 is designed to prevent pressure imbalance inside and outside the valve disc 206 (inside: water inlet valve body 201, outside: humidification module 100).

[0103] Specifically, the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 mainly includes a valve body 201, a valve disc 206, an iron core 203, a coil 204, a pressure-sensitive spring 202, and a filter screen to complete the water inlet function. The working principle is that when the coil 204 is not powered, the iron core 203 will stretch the spring 202 due to gravity, and press the valve disc 206 (with a rubber diaphragm 207 attached below) through the action of gravity and the force of the spring 202, to close the waterway. When the coil 204 is powered, the electromagnet 205 generates a magnetic field, attracting the iron core 203 to move upward, and the valve disc 206 connected with the iron core 203 opens, the waterway is unblocked, and the water inlet 2012 can smoothly flow into the humidification module 100.

[0104] The water inlet 2012 of the electromagnetic water inlet valve is connected with the outdoor water faucet 500 through the main water inlet pipe 400, the main water inlet pipe 400 can be wrapped through the wall together with the air conditioner drain pipe 700 and the copper pipe, and the air inlet side of the cabinet machine is provided with a water pipe through hole. The water faucet 500 is opened (if the automatic water adding function is enabled, the water faucet 500 must be in the open state), and water flows into the water inlet 2012 of the valve body 201 through the main water inlet pipe 400. When the water passes through the filter screen in the water inlet 2012, large particles of dust and microorganisms will be blocked outside the water inlet valve. When the automatic water adding function is not working, the water continues to enter the cavity of the valve body 201, and since the valve disc 206 is in a tightly closed state at this time, the water flow cannot flow into the water tank, and it will continue to fill the cavity until the entire cavity is filled. Because the space is continuously compressed, the pressure in the cavity is continuously increased, so it is easy to cause the pressure imbalance inside and outside the valve disc 206 (inside: the valve body 201 of the electromagnetic valve, outside: the humidification module 100). Therefore, a pressure relief hole 2061 is arranged in the hollow part of the valve disc 206, which balances the pressure inside and outside the valve disc 206, so that the water can still be kept at the same atmospheric pressure as the outside when the cavity is filled with water, and the water will not overflow.

[0105] When the coil 204 in the electromagnetic valve water inlet module 200 is energized, a magnetic field is generated. The iron core 203 moves upward under the action of the magnetic field force, driving the rubber diaphragm 207 below the valve disc 206 to move away from the sealing position, and the waterway is opened to add water to the humidification tank of the humidification module 100; when the water level reaches the position of the preset water level sensor, the sensor sends a signal, and the control program stops supplying power to the electromagnetic valve, and the magnetic field force disappears. The iron core 203 moves downward under the action of gravity. Because the spring 202 is in a state of being continuously compressed when energized, it needs to release the elastic force to reset after being de-energized. Unlike ordinary springs 202, this spring 202 resets at a constant speed, which is equivalent to offsetting part of the gravity of the iron core 203. Therefore, during the process of closing the waterway, the spring 202 will push the valve disc 206 to adhere to the water outlet end at a relatively stable and gentle speed, and the water adding amount can be accurately controlled. The water outlet 2013 is closed, and the automatic water adding is ended.
