[0126] In the following description, a large number of specific details are given to provide a more thorough understanding of the technical solutions provided by the present disclosure. However, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that the technical solutions provided by the present disclosure can be implemented without one or more of these details.

[0127] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of the features, wholes, steps, operations, elements and / or components, but does not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, elements, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0128] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of the present disclosure thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0129] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an air conditioning device. Specifically, the air conditioning device can be a wall-mounted air conditioning device, a window-type air conditioning device, a cabinet-type air conditioning device, and the like.

[0130] Among them, the air conditioning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a liquid collecting device 140, a heat exchange device 120, a water using device and a controller, wherein one end of the liquid collecting device 140 is connected to the heat exchange device 120, and the other end of the liquid collecting device 140 is connected to the water using device, and the controller is configured to control the liquid collecting device 140 to supply water to the water using device; wherein the liquid collecting device 140 is used to collect condensed water generated by the heat exchange device 120.

[0131] The air conditioning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can collect the liquid water generated by the heat exchange device 120 through the arrangement of the liquid collecting device 140 and the water-using device, and then transport it to the water-using device for use. The water generated by the heat exchange device 120 does not need to be discharged directly, but is used. On the one hand, the drainage pressure of the drain pipe is reduced, and the probability of ground water accumulation is reduced; on the other hand, the water generated by the heat exchange device 120 can be fully utilized, which is more water-saving. It can be understood that the heat exchange device 120 can be used as an evaporator, and heat will be absorbed during the evaporation process. The heat absorption will form condensed water or frost from the water vapor in the initial air or other medium flow. Liquid water can be obtained by collecting the melted water of the condensed water or frost through the liquid collecting device 140.

[0132] Among them, the heat exchange device 120 can be a heat exchanger in the air conditioning equipment. Specifically, the air conditioning equipment can include an indoor unit housing 300 and / or an outdoor unit housing 290. Correspondingly, the heat exchange device 120 can be an indoor heat exchange device 120 and / or an outdoor heat exchange device 120. It can be understood that the heat exchange device 120 can also be other heat exchange mechanisms that meet the requirements. Specifically, taking the air conditioning equipment including the indoor unit housing 300 and the outdoor unit housing 290 as an example, the heat exchange device 120 includes the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 as an example, in order to quickly reduce the temperature in the room, the indoor unit heat exchanger temperature is about 4°C. Under a standard atmospheric pressure, the saturated vapor pressure of water at 4°C is 813Pa, which is significantly lower than 3169Pa at 25°C. When the hot and humid air flows through the outdoor heat exchanger 230, the part of water that the air cannot accommodate will condense on the outdoor heat exchanger 230, thereby forming condensed water.

[0133] The water-using device may be a device in the air conditioning equipment that needs water, and the water used may be understood as cleaning water or humidification water, that is, the air conditioning equipment may include a cleaning component 322 that needs water to clean other components, and / or a humidification component that needs water to achieve a humidification function, etc. It is understandable that the water-using device may be one, two, three, or other number.

[0134] Among them, the liquid collecting device 140 may include a water tank for storing the collected condensed water of the heat exchange device 120. It can be understood that the liquid collecting device 140 may also include pipelines connecting the water tank and various water-using devices, and water supply valves arranged on each pipeline. The control device is connected to each water supply valve to supply the condensed water collected in the water tank to each water-using device.

[0135] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning device provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure has one end of the liquid collecting device 140 connected to the heat exchange device 120, and the other end of the liquid collecting device 140 is connected to the water-using device. Therefore, the condensed water generated by the operation of the heat exchange device 120 can be collected by the liquid collecting device 140, and the liquid collecting device 140 is controlled by the controller to supply water to the water-using device, so that the condensed water generated during the operation of the heat exchange device 120 can be collected and provided to the water-using device for use. Compared with the related art of directly discharging the condensed water generated by the operation of the heat exchange device 120 to the outdoors, the problem of ground water accumulation caused by the discharged condensed water and the problem of drainage of air conditioning equipment on high floors affecting users on low floors is avoided, thereby protecting the environment and reducing the impact on other users. At the same time, water resources are saved, the use cost is reduced, and it is suitable for popularization and application.

[0136] At the same time, since the liquid collecting device 140 will continuously collect and accumulate condensed water from the heat exchange device 120 during the use of the air-conditioning equipment, the amount of liquid in the liquid collecting device 140 will be larger and more sufficient, and can meet the different water consumption requirements of water-using devices, such as meeting the larger water consumption requirements of water-using devices, and avoiding the problem that the water consumption of water-using devices is large and the air-conditioning equipment cannot meet its water consumption, thereby affecting the use effect of the water-using devices and affecting the user experience.

[0137] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the air conditioning equipment also includes: an equipment body, the equipment body is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet, the liquid collecting device 140, the heat exchange device 120, the water use device and the controller are all arranged in the equipment body; the water use device includes a filter device 320, the filter device 320 includes a filter element 321 and a cleaning element 322, the filter element 321 is used to filter the airflow flowing from the air inlet to the air outlet, the cleaning element 322 includes a water use part 3221 connected to the liquid collecting device 140, and the water use part 3221 is used to apply the liquid in the liquid collecting device 140 to the filter element 321 to clean the filter element 321.

[0138] Among them, the setting of the equipment body provides installation space and good protection for the liquid collecting device 140, the heat exchange device 120, the water using device and the controller, which is beneficial to improving the neatness of the appearance of the air conditioning equipment, as well as the reliability and anti-pollution ability of the liquid collecting device 140, the heat exchange device 120, the water using device and the controller, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioning equipment.

[0139] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the water-using device includes a filter device 320, specifically, the filter device 320 includes a filter element 321 and a cleaning element 322. The filter element 321 of the filter device 320 is used to filter the airflow from the air inlet of the device body to the air outlet, so as to improve the cleanliness of the airflow flowing from the air outlet of the device body to the subsequent channel, and to ensure the cleanliness of the airflow flowing out of the air outlet. The cleaning element 322 includes a water-using part 3221 connected to the liquid collecting device 140, and the water-using part 3221 is used to apply the liquid in the liquid collecting device 140 to the filter element 321 to clean the filter element 321.

[0140] That is to say, the filter device 320 in this embodiment has a self-cleaning function. Specifically, the water-using portion 3221 of the filter device 320 uses the condensed water of the heat exchange device 120 collected by the liquid collecting device 140 to self-clean the filter element 321, so that the filter element 321 can maintain a good clean state for a long time, so as to improve the filtering effect of the filter element 321. At the same time, it can avoid the problem that the filter element 321 collects a lot of dust due to long-term use, thereby affecting the air volume or replacing a new filter element 321 with a cumbersome operation and high cost. Therefore, it can ensure a good air outlet effect of the air conditioning equipment, simplify the operation of replacing the filter element 321, facilitate the user's use, and save the use cost.

[0141] Specifically, the filter element 321 may be a filter mesh, filter cotton or other filter structures, which is not specifically limited in the present disclosure.

[0142] It can be understood that the water demand for self-cleaning the filter element 321 by using the water portion 3221 is relatively large. If the liquid is collected by adsorbing moisture molecules in the air as in the related art, the water demand for cleaning the filter element 321 by the water portion 3221 cannot be met. The embodiment of the present disclosure collects condensed water from the heat exchange device 120 by the liquid collection device 140, which can fully meet the water demand for cleaning the filter element 321 by the water portion 3221, thereby ensuring that the filter element 321 has good cleaning and filtering effects.

[0143] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in an example provided by the present disclosure, the water-using part 3221 includes a nozzle, the nozzle of the nozzle faces the filter 321, and the nozzle is connected to the liquid collecting device 140, so that the condensed water of the heat exchange device 120 collected by the liquid collecting device 140 can be provided to the nozzle, and sprayed on the filter 321 through the nozzle, specifically, through high-pressure spraying, to achieve a cleaning operation on the filter 321. Among them, the nozzle has a simple structure, a small volume, and is easy to install, and the radiation area of ​​the nozzle is large, which is conducive to providing a good cleaning effect.

[0144] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in another example provided by the present disclosure, the water-using portion 3221 includes a water tank, and at least part of the filter element 321 can be accommodated in the water tank. The water tank is connected to the liquid collecting device 140, so that the condensed water of the heat exchange device 120 collected by the liquid collecting device 140 can be transported to the water tank, and the part of the filter element 321 located in the water tank is soaked or soaked for a long time to achieve a cleaning operation of the filter element 321. Among them, the water tank is easy to process and has a low cost, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing cost of the filter device 320.

[0145] In another example provided in the present disclosure, the water using portion 3221 may include a nozzle and a water tank at the same time, whereby the nozzle and the water tank may be used to clean the filter element 321 at the same time to improve the cleaning efficiency and further ensure a good filtering effect of the filter element 321 .

[0146] It is understandable that the filter device 320 further includes a drainage portion to discharge the sewage remaining after the filter element 321 is cleaned by the water portion 3221 . Specifically, the drainage portion can discharge the sewage into a municipal sewage pipe.

[0147] like Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the cleaning member 322 also includes a cleaning portion 3222, which is used to interfere with the filter 321 to remove impurities on the filter 321, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency of the filter 321 and facilitating a good cleaning effect. The cleaning portion 3222 can be a brush head, which can interfere with the filter 321 and cooperate with the water portion 3221 to more thoroughly clean the filter 321, thereby ensuring a good cleaning effect of the filter 321.

[0148] Among them, the water-using part 3221 can directly apply the liquid in the liquid collecting device 140 to the filter element 321, and cooperate with the cleaning part 3222 to clean the filter element 321. For example, taking the water-using part 3221 as a nozzle and the cleaning part 3222 as a brush head, the nozzle can be used to spray the liquid on the filter element 321 to spray and clean the filter element 321, and cooperate with the brush head to brush, which can improve the cleaning efficiency and better cleaning effect of the filter element 321. Alternatively, the water-using part 3221 can apply the liquid to the filter element 321 through the cleaning part 3222. For example, taking the cleaning part 3222 as a brush head, the water-using part 3221 can apply the liquid in the liquid collecting device 140 to the brush head to soak the brush head, and then use the soaked brush head to interfere with the filter element 321 to wet-clean the filter element 321 to ensure a good cleaning effect of the filter element 321.

[0149] In some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the cleaning element 322 also includes a moving part 3223, which is used to drive the filter element 321 and / or the water-using part 3221 to move so as to remove impurities on the filter element 321, and the moving part 3223 includes at least one of vibration, swing or rotation.

[0150] The moving part 3223 drives the filter 321 to move, such as driving the filter 321 to vibrate, swing, rotate, etc. through the moving part 3223, which can loosen the impurities on the filter 321, and cooperate with the water part 3221 to achieve wet cleaning and motion cleaning of the filter 321, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning of the filter 321, improving the cleaning efficiency of the filter 321 and ensuring a good cleaning effect. Taking the water part 3221 as a nozzle and the driving part driving the filter 321 to vibrate as an example, the nozzle sprays liquid on the filter 321 to spray and clean the filter 321, and cooperates with the vibration of the filter 321 to achieve vibration wet cleaning of the filter 321, quickly clean the impurities on the filter 321, improve the cleaning efficiency of the filter 321 and make the filter 321 have a good cleaning effect. Alternatively, taking the water portion 3221 as a water tank and the driving portion driving the filter element 321 to rotate and swing as an example, the filter element 321 can immerse parts of the entire filter element 321 in the water tank in turn during the rotation, and cooperate with the swinging of the filter element 321 to achieve rubbing wet cleaning of the filter element 321, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning of the filter element 321.

[0151] Among them, the motion part 3223 drives the water-using part 3221 to move, thereby, the water part 3221 can be used to make the liquid in the liquid collecting device 140 act on the filter 321 more comprehensively and concentratedly, so as to improve the thoroughness and effectiveness of cleaning the filter 321, save water resources, and ensure a good cleaning effect. Taking the water-using part 3221 as a nozzle as an example, the motion part 3223 drives the nozzle to rotate so that the liquid sprayed by the nozzle can cover the filter 321 more comprehensively to improve the cleaning effect. This setting method can reduce the size of the nozzle to meet the design requirements of compact structure and small volume of the cleaning filter.

[0152] Among them, the driving part can also drive the filter element 321 and the water part 3221 to move at the same time. For example, different driving parts can be set to drive the water part 3221 to rotate respectively, such as driving the nozzle to rotate, so that the liquid sprayed by the nozzle can cover the filter element 321 more comprehensively. At the same time, the filter element 321 is driven to vibrate or swing or rotate to loosen impurities on the filter element 321, so as to improve the cleaning efficiency of the filter element 321, improve the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning of the filter element 321, and ensure a good cleaning effect.

[0153] The cleaning member 322 may also include a cleaning portion 3222 and a moving portion 3223. For example, the cleaning portion 3222 is a brush head. When the brush head is used to scrub the filter 321, the moving portion 3223 is used to drive the filter 321 to rotate, so that the brush head can sequentially interfere with different parts of the filter 321, so that the entire filter 321 can be scrubbed with a smaller brush head, which can meet the design requirements of the filter device 320 with a compact structure and a small volume. At the same time, the moving portion 3223 can also be used to drive the filter 321 to vibrate, so as to synchronously realize the vibration cleaning of the filter 321, further improve the cleaning efficiency of the filter 321, and improve the cleaning effect.

[0154] In some examples, the cleaning member 322 also includes a cleaning filter, which can be disposed within the cleaning section 3222, at the output end of the liquid collecting device 140, or on a passage between the liquid collecting device 140 and the cleaning section 3222. The cleaning filter is used to filter water output from the liquid collecting device 140 to the cleaning section 3222 or to filter water output from the cleaning section 3222. This arrangement makes the cleaning water cleaner and can reduce the probability of secondary contamination.

[0155] It can be understood that most of the water collected by the air conditioning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application is liquid water formed by condensation of water vapor in the air or liquid water obtained by melting frost. Therefore, when the liquid water source collection device is in a clean state, the obtained liquid water is also clean. By adding a cleaning filter, the cleanliness of the water can be further guaranteed, the water can be made purer, and the user experience can be further improved.

[0156] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning equipment also includes: a liquid enrichment component 110, the liquid enrichment component 110 includes an enrichment part 111 and a regeneration part 112; a heat exchange device 120 and a pipeline component 130, the pipeline component 130 connects the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120; a liquid collecting device 140, the liquid collecting device 140 is connected to the heat exchange device 120 and / or the liquid enrichment component 110.

[0157] The air conditioning device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a liquid enrichment component 110, a liquid collecting device 140, a heat exchange device 120 and a pipe component 130. During use, air can be introduced from the outside, and the air can contact the liquid enrichment component 110. The enrichment part 111 of the liquid enrichment component 110 can capture water vapor or water vapor in the air, and then release the enriched water vapor and water vapor through the regeneration part 112. The liquid collecting device 140 can collect liquid water; external air can also be introduced into the heat exchange device 120, and the air and the temperature are relatively high. The low heat exchange device 120 performs heat exchange, and the water vapor in the air condenses at low temperature to form condensate or frost, and the condensate or melted frost can be collected by the liquid collection device 140; the external air can also be first introduced into the liquid enrichment component 110, and the water vapor is enriched by the liquid enrichment component 110, and then the water content of the air discharged by the liquid enrichment component 110 will increase, and this part of the air can be discharged into the heat exchange device 120 for re-condensation. Based on this, liquid water is produced together by the heat exchange device 120 and the liquid enrichment component 110, and the generation efficiency of liquid water is higher. In summary, through the air conditioning equipment provided by the embodiment of the present application, liquid water can be collected only by using the liquid enrichment component 110 of the air conditioning equipment, or by using only the heat exchange device 120 to collect liquid water, or by first using the liquid enrichment component 110 of the air conditioning equipment to enrich water vapor, and then using the heat exchange device 120 to collect liquid water. The air conditioning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application can collect liquid water in the air and then store the liquid water through the liquid collecting device 140. When an electrical appliance such as an air conditioning equipment needs to use liquid water, the liquid water can be directly output through the liquid collecting device 140 without the need for additional water injection, and the user does not need to inject water, which can improve the user experience and ensure the smooth execution of the water use function of the electrical appliance.

[0158] The air conditioning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application connects the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120 through the pipe component 130, based on which it is convenient to control the air flow through the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120. At the same time, since there is a connection relationship between the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120, the liquid collection device 140 can be connected to the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120, and can also be connected to one of the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120, so that liquid water can be collected and stored, making the collection of liquid water more convenient.

[0159] like Figure 1As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the pipeline assembly 130 includes: an input pipeline 131, connected to the liquid enrichment assembly 110, and arranged at the upstream of the air flow of the enrichment section 111; an output pipeline 132, connected to the liquid enrichment assembly 110, and arranged at the downstream of the air flow of the enrichment section 111; a moisture collection pipeline 133, connected to the heat exchange device 120, and arranged at the upstream of the air flow of the regeneration section 112; a moisture release pipeline 134, one end of which is connected to the liquid enrichment assembly 110, and arranged downstream of the air flow of the regeneration section 112, and the other end is connected to the heat exchange device 120; a first control valve 136, the first control valve 136 is used to connect the input pipeline 131 and the moisture release pipeline 134; a second control valve 135, the second control valve 135 is used to connect the output pipeline 132 and the moisture collection pipeline 133.

[0160] It can be understood that the upstream and downstream are determined based on the flow direction of the medium. Taking the medium output by the pipeline component 130 as air as an example, the air medium first passes through the enrichment section 111 upstream of the air flow of the enrichment section 111 and then is output through the downstream of the air flow; similarly, for the upstream and downstream of the air flow of the regeneration section 112, the air medium passes through the regeneration section 112 upstream and then is output through the downstream of the air flow. That is to say, the upstream and downstream of the air flow are determined based on the flow direction of the medium, rather than based on the placement position or orientation of the liquid enrichment component 110.

[0161] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the pipeline component 130 is further provided. The pipeline component 130 includes an input pipeline 131, an output pipeline 132, a moisture collection pipeline 133 and a moisture release pipeline 134. During use, the input pipeline 131 is used to introduce external air. The air is supplied to the enrichment zone through the input pipeline 131, and then the water vapor and / or water vapor in the air is captured by the enrichment zone. Thereafter, the air is discharged to the outside of the air conditioning equipment through the output pipeline 132. When the liquid collecting device 140 is needed to collect the liquid, the air is introduced through the moisture collection pipeline 133. The air flows through the regeneration zone and is then supplied to the moisture release pipeline 134. The wind formed by the air flow can carry the water vapor or water vapor separated from the liquid enrichment component 110 through the heat exchange device 120 and enters the liquid collecting device 140 to complete the water collection.

[0162] In this technical solution, the dehumidification pipe 134 is connected to the heat exchange device 120. When the heat exchange device 120 is turned on, the water vapor or water vapor will further exchange heat with the condensation component, and more water vapor can be condensed into liquid water, so that the liquid collection device 140 can collect more liquid water.

[0163] In this technical solution, the moisture collection pipeline 133 is also connected to the heat exchange device 120. Based on this, the airflow used to collect the liquid enrichment component 110 can form a circulation between the liquid enrichment component 110 and the heat exchange device 120, which can further improve the liquid collection efficiency.

[0164] In this technical solution, by setting up the input pipe 131, the output pipe 132, the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture release pipe 134, it is convenient to achieve the enrichment of water vapor on the liquid enrichment component 110, and at the same time facilitate the collection of liquid on the liquid enrichment component 110, making the collection of liquid water in the air conditioning equipment more convenient.

[0165] In this technical solution, the pipeline assembly 130 may also include a first control valve 136 and a second control valve 135. The first control valve 136 may control the connection between the input pipeline 131 and the dehumidification pipeline 134, and the second control valve 135 may control the output pipeline 132 and the moisture collection pipeline 133. With such a configuration, the air conditioning device has multiple operation modes, such as: the input pipeline 131 and the dehumidification pipeline 134 are connected, and the output pipeline 132 and the moisture collection pipeline 133 are connected. In this case, the air will not flow through the enrichment part 111 and the regeneration part 112 of the liquid enrichment assembly 110, but the air will enter the heat exchange device 120 through the input pipeline 131 and the dehumidification pipeline 134, and then the air will enter the heat exchange device 120 through the output pipeline 131. 132 and the moisture collection pipe 133 are discharged out of the heat exchange device 120. In this process, the heat exchange device 120 exchanges heat with the air, so that the water vapor in the air condenses to form liquid water for collection by the liquid collecting device 140; for example, the input pipe 131 and the output pipe 132 are connected, the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture release pipe 134 are arranged in this way, the air will first flow through the enrichment part 111 of the liquid enrichment component 110 through the input pipe 131 and the output pipe 132, and then flow through the regeneration part 112 through the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture release pipe 134 to collect water vapor and water vapor, and the collected water vapor and water vapor are supplied to the heat exchange device 120 for condensation, which can improve the output efficiency of liquid water.

[0166] It can be understood that during use of the air conditioning equipment provided in the embodiment of the present application, the medium output through the pipe component 130 may also be other media containing water. Air is only an example, and the type and category of the medium output through the pipe component 130 are not specifically limited in this application.

[0167] In a feasible embodiment, the liquid enrichment component 110 also includes: a first air supply member 137, which is arranged in the input pipe 131 and / or the output pipe 132, and is used to allow air to flow through the enrichment part 111 of the liquid enrichment component 110; a second air supply member 138, which is arranged in the moisture collection pipe 133 and / or the moisture release pipe 134, and is used to allow air to flow through the regeneration part 112 of the liquid enrichment component 110.

[0168] In this technical solution, the liquid enrichment component 110 may further include a first air supply component 137. The arrangement of the first air supply component 137 facilitates the air to form an airflow and flow through the enrichment area of ​​the liquid enrichment component 110 through the input pipe 131 and the output pipe 132, so that the hygroscopic component can capture water vapor and water vapor in the air.

[0169] In this technical solution, the liquid enrichment component 110 may further include a second air supply component 138. The second air supply component 138 is arranged to facilitate the air to form an airflow. The airflow can carry the water vapor and water vapor released by the moisture absorption component through the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture release pipe 134, so that the water vapor and water vapor can flow through the heat exchange device 120 to enrich the liquid water in the liquid collection device 140.

[0170] In a feasible implementation, the first control valve 136 is also used to adjust the opening between the input pipeline 131 and the moisture release pipeline 134 ; the second control valve 135 is also used to adjust the opening between the output pipeline 132 and the moisture collection pipeline 133 .

[0171] In this technical solution, the first control valve 136 is also used to adjust the opening between the input pipe 131 and the dehumidification pipe 134, and the second control valve 135 is also used to adjust the opening between the output pipe 132 and the moisture collection pipe 133, that is, the input pipe 131 can be connected to the dehumidification pipe 134 and the output pipe 132 at the same time, and the output pipe 132 can be connected to the input pipe 131 and the moisture collection pipe 133 at the same time, and the opening can be adjusted by the first control valve 136 and the second control valve 135. Based on this, during the working process, external air is introduced through the input pipe 131, and the water vapor and water vapor in the external air are captured by the liquid enrichment component 110, and then through the output pipe 1 32 flows out, and when the water vapor is enriched, the air flow is output through the moisture collection pipe 133, part of the air flow is discharged through the output pipe 132, and part of the air flow enters the liquid enrichment component 110, carrying the water vapor and water vapor enriched on the liquid enrichment component 110 into the dehumidification pipe 134, and at the same time, part of the air flow in the input pipe 131 will also enter the dehumidification pipe 134, and then enter the condensation component for condensation, and condensate or frost can be formed by condensation, and finally the condensate and the melted frost are collected by the liquid collecting device 140 to enrich the liquid water. This arrangement makes the distribution of air pressure in the air conditioning equipment more balanced, and it is more convenient to produce liquid water.

[0172] In a feasible embodiment, the liquid enrichment component 110 includes: a first shell 113, on which an enrichment part 111 and a regeneration part 112 are formed; a hygroscopic part, which is arranged in the first shell 113; and a regeneration part, which is used to supply energy to the regeneration part 112 to separate water molecules.

[0173] In this technical solution, the liquid enrichment component 110 may include a first shell 113, a hygroscopic component, an enrichment component and a regeneration component. During use, the hygroscopic component can rotate relative to the first shell 113. When the air comes into contact with the hygroscopic component through the enrichment area on the first shell 113 via the input pipe 131, the enrichment component provides energy to the area corresponding to the hygroscopic component and the enrichment area, and the water vapor or water vapor in the air can be captured by the area corresponding to the hygroscopic component and the enrichment area. When the hygroscopic component is facing the regeneration area, the regeneration area is provided with energy, and the hygroscopic component can release water molecules. The water molecules can enter the liquid collection device 140 through the dehumidification pipe 134. Based on this, the capture and release of water vapor can be achieved, and the liquid collection device 140 can enrich water.

[0174] In the embodiment of the present application, the hygroscopic member may be in the shape of a turntable, and the hygroscopic member is provided with a hygroscopic agent for absorbing moisture. The hygroscopic agent may be, for example, zeolite, modified / synthetic zeolite, molecular sieve (including but not limited to zeolite molecular sieve, A / X / Y type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, Beta molecular sieve, etc.), polymer hygroscopic agent, alkali metal aluminosilicate (13X molecular sieve), lithium chloride, silica gel, modified silica gel, activated alumina and other materials with hygroscopic properties. Among them, the polymer hygroscopic agent is also called a polymer adsorbent, which has a lower regeneration temperature than traditional silica gel, activated carbon and molecular sieve adsorbents.

[0175] In one embodiment, the moisture absorbent may be made of porous materials such as zeolite, molecular sieve, metal organic framework (MOF) material, covalent organic framework (COFs), nanocarbon, silicon dioxide, etc. In one embodiment, the moisture absorbent may also be formed by granular solid or particle filling including at least one of the above porous materials.

[0176] In one embodiment, the hygroscopic member may be a honeycomb or corrugated rotating disk carrying a hygroscopic agent, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration.

[0177] In one embodiment, the moisture absorbent includes an inorganic / organic fiber carrier (such as ceramic, glass fiber, MOFs, COFs, cordierite, etc.), and the fiber carrier is coated with a moisture absorbent such as a molecular sieve, and the molecular sieve is evenly distributed between the fiber carriers and on the surface of the fiber carrier to achieve the adsorption of airflow moisture. The molecular sieve may include single crystal molecular sieves or mixed crystal molecular sieves such as A-type molecular sieve, X / Y-type molecular sieve, ZSM molecular sieve, and Beta molecular sieve.

[0178] In a feasible implementation, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component further includes an enrichment component, which is used to supply energy to the enrichment area; the enrichment component includes at least one of a phase change heat exchanger, a Peltier effect heat exchanger, a fan, a liquid cooling heat exchanger, and a vortex tube. Based on this, it is convenient to provide cooling capacity to the turntable through the enrichment component, so that the turntable can capture water vapor and water vapor in the air.

[0179] It is understandable that, in order to reduce the cost of air conditioning equipment, the enrichment element may be a fan.

[0180] In a feasible implementation, the regeneration element includes at least one of heat radiation, heat pump hot end, heat pipe hot end and solar heat source. Based on this, the regeneration element provides heat energy to the turntable, the turntable releases water vapor, and the liquid collection device 140 enriches liquid water.

[0181] like Figures 3 to 7 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the liquid enrichment component 110 further includes: a driving member 114, connected to the hygroscopic member, for driving the hygroscopic member to rotate.

[0182] In this technical solution, the liquid enrichment component 110 may further include a driving member 114, which drives the hygroscopic member to rotate, so that the hygroscopic member can rotate alternately between the enrichment section 111 and the regeneration section 112. Such an arrangement can improve the liquid enrichment efficiency.

[0183] In a feasible implementation manner, the liquid collecting device 140 is used to be connected to a water-using device, and the water-using device includes a humidifying component and / or a cleaning component.

[0184] like Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the heat exchange device 120 includes: a liquid collecting heat exchanger 121, the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 is used to form condensed water and / or frosting, and the liquid enrichment component collects the liquid formed by the melting of condensed water and / or frosting through the input end.

[0185] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the heat exchange device 120 is further provided. The heat exchange device 120 includes a liquid collecting heat exchanger 121. By controlling the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121, for example, the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 can be controlled to decrease so that the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 is reduced to below the dew point temperature, condensation can be formed on the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 or frost can be sublimated to form condensed water, and then the condensed water is collected by the liquid collecting device 140, or the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 is controlled to melt the frost to form liquid water, and then the liquid water is collected by the liquid collecting device 140, thereby achieving the enrichment of liquid water.

[0186] In a feasible embodiment, the heat exchange device 120 also includes: a second shell 122, the liquid collection heat exchanger 121 is arranged in the second shell 122, the second shell 122 is used to collect condensed water and / or liquid formed by melting frost, the input end of the liquid collection device 140 is connected to the second shell 122, and the pipeline assembly 130 is connected to the second shell 122.

[0187] In this technical solution, the heat exchange device 120 may include a second shell 122 in addition to the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121. By arranging the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 inside the second shell 122, when the condensed water on the heat exchange device 120 drips due to the influence of gravity, the second shell 122 can play a receiving role, and then the second shell 122 is connected to the liquid collecting device 140, so as to facilitate the enrichment of water through the liquid collecting device 140.

[0188] In this technical solution, the pipeline assembly 130 is connected to the second shell 122 to facilitate heat exchange between the gas and the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 and condensation to form liquid water.

[0189] In some examples, the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture discharge pipe 134 can be connected to the second shell 122 to facilitate heat exchange between the gas and the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121, so that the air flow forms a circulation and can produce more liquid water.

[0190] It can be understood that, considering that the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 condenses water vapor in the air to form condensed water, in order to make the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 fully contact with the air, the second shell 122 can be arranged at the bottom of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121, and part of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 is in an exposed state, which can play a receiving role while improving the contact efficiency between the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 and the air.

[0191] like Figures 2 to 7As shown, the air conditioning equipment also includes: an indoor heat exchanger 210; a compressor 220, which is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210; an outdoor heat exchanger 230, which is connected to the compressor 220; a first throttling component 240, which is respectively connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210; and a first refrigerant pipeline, which connects the indoor heat exchanger 210, the compressor 220, the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the first throttling component 240 to form a refrigerant cycle.

[0192] In this technical solution, the air conditioning equipment may also include an indoor heat exchanger 210, a compressor 220, an outdoor heat exchanger 230, a first throttling component 240 and a first refrigerant pipeline. The refrigerant flows between the indoor heat exchanger 210, the compressor 220, the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the first throttling component 240 through the first refrigerant pipeline. The pressure state and temperature of the refrigerant can be adjusted by the compressor 220, and then the flow direction of the refrigerant can be controlled to control the indoor heat exchanger 210 for heating or cooling, thereby adjusting the indoor temperature.

[0193] In a feasible embodiment, the pipe assembly 130 is connected to at least one of the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230, and at least one of the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 serves as the liquid collection heat exchanger 121 of the heat exchange device 120; when the pipe assembly 130 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210, the liquid collection device 140 includes a first water tank 141 and a second water tank 142, the first water tank 141 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230, and the second water tank 142 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210.

[0194] In this technical solution, at least one of the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 can be used as the liquid collection heat exchanger 121 of the heat exchanger device 120. Considering that the air conditioning equipment will be in a cooling or heating mode, and at least one of the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210 of the air conditioning equipment will be used as an evaporator, therefore, in this technical solution, the pipe assembly 130 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and / or the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the air with a higher water content output through the pipe assembly 130 will be transported to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210 as one of the evaporators, so that the water vapor condenses into gas, and then the liquid collection device 140 collects the condensed water through the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and / or the indoor heat exchanger 210, which can improve the water production efficiency.

Based on this, the liquid collecting device 140 of the air conditioning equipment can be arranged outdoors. When the air conditioning equipment is in the process of heating the indoor environment, the indoor heat exchanger 210 serves as a condenser, and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 serves as an evaporator. The outdoor heat exchanger 230 will condense the water vapor in the air, and then collect the liquid condensed by the heat exchange device 120 through the liquid collecting device 140. The liquid can then be collected in the liquid collecting device 140. When the water-using device needs to use water, the liquid stored in the liquid collecting device 140 can be supplied to the water-using device. In this way, most of the main structure of the air conditioning equipment can be arranged outdoors, which can reduce the indoor space occupied by the air conditioning equipment while providing liquid water for the air conditioning equipment, and improve the user experience.

When the water-using device needs to use water, the liquid stored in the liquid collecting device 140 can be supplied to the water-using device. In this way, most of the main structure of the air conditioning equipment can be arranged outdoors, and the indoor space occupied by the air conditioning equipment can be reduced while providing liquid water for the air conditioning equipment, which can improve the user experience. When the indoor heat exchanger 210 is used as the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 of the heat exchange device 120, the liquid collecting device 140 of the air conditioning equipment can be arranged indoors.

Based on this, the heat exchange device 120 and the indoor heat exchanger 210 can be connected in parallel. When the air conditioning equipment is in cooling mode and the indoor heat exchanger 210 acts as an evaporator, the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121 also acts as an evaporator. The heat exchange device 120 condenses water vapor in the air, and then the liquid condensed by the heat exchange device 120 can be collected by the liquid collecting device 140, or the heat exchange device 120 can also condense the water vapor in the air into frost, and after the frost melts, liquid water can also be formed for collection by the liquid collecting device 140. The third refrigerant pipeline and the third throttling component are arranged to facilitate the control of the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger 121, which is more convenient for the formation of condensation or frost, and the enrichment efficiency of the liquid can be improved.

[0226] In this technical solution, the air conditioning equipment may further include a cleaning member 323, by which the filter device 320 can be cleaned, thereby improving the cleanliness of the filter device 320, and the cleaning member 323 is connected to the output end of the liquid collecting device 140, the liquid collecting device 140 can supply the cleaning member 323 with water required for cleaning, and the liquid collecting device 140 can collect liquid water by itself, which can reduce or avoid manual water addition and improve the user experience.

[0227] In a feasible embodiment, the filter device 320 includes: a first filter element, used to be set at the air inlet of the outdoor unit housing 290; a second filter element, used to be set at the air inlet of the fresh air module 310; or a third filter element, used to cover the first air inlet of the fresh air module 310 and the outdoor unit housing 290 at the same time.

[0228] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the filter device 320 is further provided. The filter device 320 may include a first filter element and a second filter element to respectively cover the air inlet of the outdoor unit housing 290 and the air inlet of the fresh air module 310, thereby making the air entering the outdoor unit housing 290 cleaner and thus improving the cleanliness of liquid water. The air entering the fresh air module 310 can be filtered by the second filter element, thereby improving the cleanliness of the indoor air.

[0229] In this technical solution, a third filter may be used to directly cover the first air inlet of the fresh air module 310 and the outdoor unit housing 290, thereby also ensuring the cleanliness of the liquid water and the cleanliness of the indoor air.

[0230] In a feasible embodiment, the filter device 320 also includes: a fourth filter element, which is used to be set at the air inlet of the indoor unit housing 300; a fifth filter element, which is used to be set at the entrance of the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture discharge pipe 134 of the pipe assembly 130; and a cleaning element 323 for cleaning at least one of the first filter element, the second filter element, the third filter element, the fourth filter element and the fifth filter element.

[0231] In this technical solution, the filter device 320 may also include a fourth filter element. By arranging the fourth filter element at the air inlet of the indoor unit housing 300, the cleanliness of the indoor unit of the air conditioning device can be improved, and the maintenance frequency of the air conditioning device can be reduced. By arranging the fifth filter element at the entrance of the moisture collection pipe 133 and the moisture release pipe 134, the air entering the heat exchange device 120 can be made cleaner.

[0232] In this technical solution, by cleaning at least one of the first filter element, the second filter element, the third filter element, the fourth filter element and the fifth filter element through the cleaning element 323, the cleanliness of the first filter element, the second filter element, the third filter element, the fourth filter element and the fifth filter element can be improved and the maintenance frequency can be reduced.

[0233] like Figure 2 As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the device body includes an outdoor unit housing 290, the air inlet includes a first air inlet opened on the outdoor unit housing 290, the air outlet includes a first air outlet opened on the outdoor unit housing 290, the heat exchange device 120 is connected to the first air inlet and the first air outlet, the filter device 320 includes a first filter device 3211 for filtering the airflow flowing from the first air inlet to the heat exchange device 120; the liquid collection device 140 includes an outdoor water tank connected to the heat exchange device 120, the outdoor water tank is used to collect condensed water of the heat exchange device 120 and supply water to the first filter device 3211.

[0234] This embodiment provides a case where the device body is an outdoor unit housing 290. It is understandable that the air conditioning device further includes an indoor unit housing 300, and the indoor unit housing 300 further includes an indoor unit heat exchanger, and the indoor unit heat exchanger and the outdoor unit heat exchanger are connected through a refrigerant pipeline to form a refrigerant circulation path.

[0235] The air of the outdoor environment enters the outdoor unit housing 290 through the first air inlet on the outdoor unit housing 290, and after the heat exchange treatment of the heat exchange device 120, flows to the outside of the outdoor unit housing 290 through the first air outlet on the outdoor unit housing 290 for discharge. The first filter device 3211 is provided to filter the airflow flowing from the first air inlet to the heat exchange device 120, thereby filtering out impurities in the gas entering the airflow cycle from the outdoor environment, improving the cleanliness of the airflow participating in the airflow cycle, and preventing unclean airflow from causing blockage or damage to various mechanisms through which the subsequent airflow circulates, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and service life of various mechanisms through which the airflow flows during the airflow cycle, improving the reliability of the air conditioning equipment, and improving the cleanliness of the gas discharged to the external environment through the outdoor unit housing 290, thereby reducing pollution to the environment.

[0236] The filter element 321 of the first filter device 3211 may be a filter screen or other filter mechanism, and the filter screen may be arranged at the first air inlet and detachably connected to the shell of the outdoor unit shell 290 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the first filter device 3211 .

[0237] Among them, the liquid collecting device 140 includes an outdoor water tank, which is connected to the heat exchange device 120 and is used to collect condensed water from the heat exchange device 120 and supply water to the first filter device 3211. As a result, the condensed water from the heat exchange device 120 in the outdoor unit housing 290 does not need to be discharged to the external environment, thereby avoiding the problem of water accumulation on the ground caused by the discharged condensed water and the drainage of air-conditioning equipment on high floors affecting users on low floors. This protects the environment and reduces the impact on other users. At the same time, the outdoor water tank supplies water to the first filter device 3211, which can achieve self-cleaning of the first filter device 3211 to ensure that the first filter device 3211 has a good filtering effect, saves water resources, and reduces the cost of use.

[0238] It is understandable that the volume of the outdoor water tank is large enough to accommodate the condensed water of the heat exchange device 120. Alternatively, a water level detection device is provided on the outdoor water tank to detect the water level in the outdoor water tank, and the outdoor water tank is also provided with a drainage part connected to the external environment. When the water level in the outdoor water tank reaches a preset water level, the detection result of the water level detection device indicates that the water level in the outdoor water tank is high enough. If the condensed water of the heat exchange device 120 continues to be collected, there will be an overflow. At this time, the water valve of the drainage part can be opened to discharge the water in the outdoor water tank to the external environment to keep the water in the outdoor water tank at the preset water level. Since only a small amount of liquid is discharged to the external environment at this time, the impact of ground water accumulation and drainage of air conditioning equipment on low-level users can be reduced to a large extent.

[0239] like Figure 2As shown, in some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the equipment body includes an indoor unit housing 300, the air inlet includes a second air inlet opened on the indoor unit housing 300, the air outlet includes a second air outlet opened on the indoor unit housing 300, the heat exchange device 120 includes an indoor heat exchange device 120 located on the indoor unit equipment body, and the filter device 320 includes a second filter device 3212 arranged at the second air inlet.

[0240] Among them, the filtering device 320 includes a second filtering device 3212 arranged at the second air inlet. The setting of the second filtering device 3212 filters the airflow flowing into the indoor unit housing 300 through the outdoor unit housing 290, which is beneficial to improving the cleanliness of the airflow flowing into the indoor unit housing 300, and avoiding unclean airflow from clogging or damaging the heat exchange device 120 and the subsequent mechanism through which the airflow flows, which is beneficial to improving the reliability and service life of the heat exchange device 120 and the subsequent airflow flow mechanism, improving the reliability of the air conditioning equipment, and helping to improve the cleanliness of the gas flowing into the indoor environment through the indoor unit housing 300, thereby improving the comfort of the user.

[0241] In one example, the outdoor water tank is also connected to the heat exchange device 120 for supplying water to the second filter device 3212. Thus, the second filter device 3212 is utilized to consume the liquid in the outdoor water tank, so that the condensed water of the heat exchange device 120 in the outdoor unit housing 290 does not need to be discharged to the external environment, thereby avoiding the problem of water accumulation on the ground caused by the discharged condensed water and the drainage of air conditioning equipment on high floors affecting users on low floors. This protects the environment and reduces the impact on other users. At the same time, the outdoor water tank supplies water to the second filter device 3212, which can realize self-cleaning of the second filter device 3212 to ensure that the second filter device 3212 has a good filtering effect. In addition, this arrangement saves water resources and reduces the cost of use.

[0242] In another example, the liquid collecting device 140 includes an indoor water tank connected to the indoor heat exchange device 120, and the indoor water tank is connected to the second filter device 3212 to supply water to the second filter device 3212. Thus, the condensed water of the second heat exchanger is collected by the indoor water tank, so that the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger in the indoor unit casing 300 can be utilized, thereby preventing the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger from being unable to be effectively utilized and infiltrating to the outside of the indoor unit casing 300 and affecting the indoor environment. Thus, the cleanliness of the indoor environment is protected. At the same time, the indoor water tank supplies water to the second filter device 3212, which can realize self-cleaning of the second filter device 3212 to ensure that the second filter device 3212 has a good filtering effect, and saves water resources and reduces the use cost.

[0243] In some examples, the outdoor water tank and the indoor water tank can be integrated into one water tank to be installed in the outdoor unit housing 290 or the indoor unit housing 300, or the outdoor water tank and the indoor water tank are two independent water tanks to be installed in the outdoor unit housing 290 or the indoor unit housing 300. It is understandable that the indoor water tank and / or the outdoor water tank can be separated into multiple water tanks according to their uses, such as the outdoor water tank can be divided into a cleaning sub-tank, a humidifying sub-tank, a clean water sub-tank, and a sewage sub-tank according to their uses, and can also include a disinfectant sub-tank, a fragrance agent sub-tank, and other components for maintaining system operation.

[0244] In some possible embodiments provided by the present disclosure, the air conditioning device further includes: a fresh air module 310 , one end of the fresh air module 310 is connected to the first air inlet via a connecting pipe, and the other end is connected to the indoor unit casing 300 .

[0245] Among them, the filtering device 320 also includes a third filtering device for filtering the airflow in the fresh air module 310. The setting of the third filtering device can filter the airflow that flows into the fresh air duct of the fresh air module 310 from the external environment through the first air inlet, thereby reducing the unclean air flow in the fresh air duct and clogging or damaging other mechanisms of the fresh air module 310, thereby increasing the service life of other mechanisms of the fresh air module 310, and at the same time, can improve the cleanliness of the airflow flowing into the room through the fresh air module 310.

[0246] Among them, the outdoor water tank and / or the indoor water tank are used to supply water to the third filter device, that is, the liquid used by the third filter device can be the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger in the outdoor unit housing 290. Therefore, the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger can be consumed by the third filter device, avoiding the problem of directly discharging the condensed water of the indoor heat exchanger to cause water accumulation on the ground and the drainage of air conditioning equipment on high floors affecting low-level users, thereby protecting the environment, reducing the impact on other users, and saving water resources.

[0247] Among them, the first filtering device 3211 is arranged at the first air inlet, and is also used to filter the airflow flowing from the first air inlet to the liquid enrichment component 110, so that the airflow flowing from the first air inlet to the liquid enrichment component 110 is relatively clean, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airflow flowing through the liquid enrichment component 110, improving the service life and reliability of the liquid enrichment component 110, and at the same time, improving the cleanliness of the gas discharged into the outdoor environment through the first air outlet, reducing pollution to the environment.

[0248] In this embodiment, the first filtering device 3211 can be used to simultaneously filter the airflow flowing from the first air inlet to the liquid enrichment component 110 and the airflow flowing to the indoor heat exchanger, so as to simplify the setting of the filtering components, meet the design requirements of the outdoor unit housing 290 with a compact structure and a small size, and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0249] In another example, the first filter device 3211 is located in an air intake branch connected to the indoor heat exchanger, and the filter device 320 also includes a fourth filter device, which is located in an air intake branch connected to the liquid enrichment component 110 and / or in the liquid enrichment component 110, and the outdoor water tank is also used to supply water to the fourth filter device 320.

[0250] like Fig.10 As shown, according to the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a control method is proposed for controlling an air conditioning device as in any of the above technical solutions.

[0251] Step 301: In response to a water use instruction, turn on the controller to control the liquid collecting device to supply water to the water use device.

[0252] like Fig.11 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the control method includes:

[0253] Step 302: In response to the first water collection instruction, adjusting the conduction mode of the pipeline component to enrich liquid water only through the liquid enrichment component;

[0254] Step 303: In response to the second water collection instruction, adjusting the conduction mode of the pipeline assembly to enrich liquid water only through the heat exchange device;

[0255] Step 304: In response to the third water collection instruction, adjust the conduction mode of the pipeline component to enrich liquid water through the liquid enrichment component and the heat exchange device.

[0256] Through the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, different water collection instructions can be responded to. In response to the first water collection instruction, liquid water can be enriched only by the liquid enrichment component, air can be introduced from the outside, the air can contact the liquid enrichment component, the enrichment part of the liquid enrichment component can capture water vapor or water vapor in the air, and then the enriched water vapor and water vapor can be released through the regeneration part, and the liquid enrichment component can collect liquid water. In response to the second water collection instruction, liquid water can be enriched only by the heat exchange device, external air can also be introduced into the heat exchange device, the air exchanges heat with the heat exchange device with a lower temperature, the water vapor in the air condenses at low temperature to form condensate or frost, and the condensate or melted frost can be collected by the liquid enrichment component. In response to the third water collection instruction, the external air that enriches liquid water through the liquid enrichment component and the heat exchange device can also be introduced into the liquid enrichment component first, and the water vapor is enriched by the liquid enrichment component, and then the water content of the air discharged through the liquid enrichment component will increase. This part of the air can be discharged into the heat exchange device for re-condensation. Based on this, liquid water is jointly produced by the heat exchange device and the liquid enrichment component, and the generation efficiency of liquid water is higher. Based on this, the air conditioning equipment can have different water collection methods, can collect liquid water in the air, and then store the liquid water through the liquid enrichment component. When electrical appliances such as air conditioning equipment need to use liquid water, liquid water can be directly output through the liquid enrichment component without additional water injection, and the user does not need to inject water, which can improve the user experience and ensure the smooth execution of the water use function of the electrical appliance.

[0257] In a feasible embodiment, in response to the first water collection instruction, the conduction mode of the pipeline assembly is adjusted, and the step of enriching liquid water only through the liquid enrichment assembly includes: controlling the first control valve of the pipeline assembly to disconnect the passage between the input pipeline and the dehumidification pipeline, controlling the second control valve of the pipeline assembly to disconnect the passage between the output pipeline and the dehumidification pipeline, controlling the conduction of the input pipeline and the output pipeline to allow the liquid enrichment assembly to enrich water molecules; controlling the dehumidification pipeline and the dehumidification pipeline of the pipeline assembly to open, so that liquid water is collected in the liquid enrichment assembly.

[0258] In this technical solution, a step of enriching liquid water only through a liquid enrichment component is further provided. External air contacts the liquid enrichment component through an input pipe and is then discharged through an output pipe. During this process, the liquid enrichment component can capture water vapor and water vapor in the air. When liquid water enrichment is required, the airflow can be output through a moisture collection pipe. After the airflow passes through the liquid enrichment component, it is discharged through a moisture release pipe. The discharged gas can also carry a large amount of water vapor, and the liquid enrichment component can collect this part of the water vapor.

[0259] In a feasible embodiment, in response to the second water collection instruction, the conduction mode of the pipeline assembly is adjusted, and the step of enriching liquid water only through the heat exchange device includes: in response to the second water collection instruction, the first control valve of the pipeline assembly is controlled to conduct the passage between the input pipeline and the moisture release pipeline, the second control valve of the pipeline assembly is controlled to conduct the passage between the output pipeline and the moisture collection pipeline, and the heat exchanger connected to the liquid enrichment assembly is controlled to act as an evaporator to form condensed water and / or frost; and the condensed water and / or melted water of the frost are collected through the liquid enrichment assembly.

[0260] In this technical solution, a step of enriching liquid water only through a heat exchange device is further provided. The heat exchange device can be turned on to make it act as an evaporator, and then the external air enters the heat exchange device through an input pipe and a moisture release pipe, and the water vapor condenses or frosts. Then the air is discharged to the outside of the air conditioning equipment through a moisture collection pipe and an output pipe. The liquid after condensation or frost can be collected through a liquid enrichment component.

[0261] In a feasible embodiment, in response to the third water collection instruction, the conduction mode of the pipeline assembly is adjusted, and the step of enriching liquid water through the liquid enrichment assembly and the heat exchange device includes: in response to the third water collection instruction, the first control valve of the pipeline assembly is used to control the input pipeline to be simultaneously connected to the output pipeline and the moisture release pipeline, and the second control valve of the pipeline assembly is used to control the output pipeline to be simultaneously connected to the input pipeline and the moisture collection pipeline; the heat exchanger connected to the liquid enrichment assembly is controlled to act as an evaporator to form condensed water and / or frost, and water molecules are enriched through the liquid enrichment assembly; condensed water, water after melted frost, and regenerated water of the liquid enrichment assembly are collected through the liquid enrichment assembly.

[0262] In this technical solution, specific steps for enriching liquid water through a liquid enrichment component and a heat exchange device are further provided. External air is introduced through an input pipe, and water vapor and water vapor in the external air are captured by the liquid enrichment component and then flow out through an output pipe. When the water vapor is enriched, the air flow is output through a moisture collection pipe, part of the air flow is discharged through the output pipe, and part of the air flow enters the liquid enrichment component, carrying the water vapor and water vapor enriched on the liquid enrichment component into the moisture release pipe. At the same time, part of the air flow in the input pipe will also enter the moisture release pipe, and then enter the condensation component for condensation. Condensate or frost can be formed by condensation. Finally, the condensate and the melted frost are collected by the liquid enrichment component to enrich the liquid water. This arrangement makes the distribution of air pressure in the air conditioning equipment more balanced, which is more convenient for the output of liquid water.

[0263] In a feasible embodiment, the step of collecting condensed water, water after frost melts, and regenerated water of the liquid enrichment component through a liquid enrichment component includes: after frost forms on the evaporator, controlling the first control valve to disconnect the passage between the input pipe and the moisture release pipe, controlling the second control valve to disconnect the passage between the output pipe and the moisture collection pipe, and using the gas flowing through the regeneration part to defrost the evaporator.

[0264] In this technical solution, after frost forms on the evaporator, the first control valve can be controlled to disconnect the passage between the input pipe and the dehumidification pipe, and the second control valve can be controlled to disconnect the passage between the output pipe and the dehumidification pipe, so that the dehumidification pipe and the dehumidification pipe are connected. The waste heat of the gas flowing through the regeneration section can be used to defrost the evaporator, which is beneficial to the collection of liquid water and can reduce energy consumption.

[0265] In a feasible implementation, the control method further includes: generating a first water collection instruction, a second water collection instruction or a third water collection instruction based on water demand; and / or generating a first water collection instruction, a second water collection instruction or a third water collection instruction based on the water content in the external air.

[0266] In this technical solution, the control method also includes selectively generating a first water collection instruction, a second water collection instruction or a third water collection instruction based on water demand. That is to say, the water collection instruction can be generated based on the user's needs, so that the water collection action can be adapted to the water demand, so that the collection of liquid water can better meet the user's needs.

[0267] In this technical solution, the control method can also selectively generate a first water collection instruction, a second water collection instruction or a third water collection instruction based on the water content of the external air. That is to say, the water collection instruction can be generated based on the moisture content in the external air, so that the water collection action can be adapted to the moisture content of the external air, ensuring that sufficient liquid water can be produced.

[0268] It can be understood that the air conditioning equipment is used to adjust the temperature of the indoor space, and the moisture content of the external air refers to the moisture content of the outdoor air.

[0269] In a feasible implementation, the step of generating a first water collection instruction, a second water collection instruction or a third water collection instruction based on water demand includes: generating a second water collection instruction when the water demand is less than a first threshold; generating a first water collection instruction when the water demand is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold; generating a third water collection instruction when the water demand is greater than or equal to the second threshold; wherein the value of the first threshold is less than the second threshold.

[0270] In this technical solution, a step of generating specific water collection instructions based on water demand is further provided. If the water demand is less than the first threshold, it means that the user or the air conditioning equipment does not have high requirements for water consumption. In this case, a second water collection instruction can be generated, and liquid water is collected only by using the condensed water generated by the evaporator of the air conditioning equipment; when the water demand is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold, it means that the air conditioning equipment or the user has high requirements for water consumption. In this case, the liquid enrichment component, the first pipeline component and the second pipeline component of the air conditioning equipment can be used to collect liquid water to meet the water demand; when the water consumption is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it means that the user or the air conditioning equipment has a high water demand. In this case, a third water collection instruction can be generated, first using the liquid enrichment component of the air conditioning equipment to enrich water vapor, and then using the evaporator of the air conditioning equipment to collect liquid water, so as to maximize the enrichment efficiency of liquid water and meet the water demand.

[0271] In a feasible embodiment, based on the water content in the external air, the steps of generating a first water collection instruction, a second water collection instruction or a third water collection instruction include: when the water content is less than a third threshold, generating a third water collection instruction; when the water content is greater than or equal to the third threshold and less than a fourth threshold, generating a first water collection instruction; when the water content is greater than a fifth threshold, generating a second water collection instruction; wherein the value of the third threshold is less than the fourth threshold.

[0272] In this technical solution, a step of generating specific water collection instructions based on the water content is further provided. If the water demand is less than the fourth threshold, it means that the water content in the outdoor air is very low. In this case, a third water collection instruction can be generated. First, the liquid enrichment component of the air conditioning equipment is used to enrich the water vapor, and then the evaporator of the air conditioning equipment is used to collect liquid water, so as to maximize the enrichment efficiency of liquid water and meet the water demand. When the water content is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold and less than the fifth threshold, it means that there is a certain amount of water content in the external air. In this case, the liquid enrichment component, the first pipeline component and the second pipeline component of the air conditioning equipment can be used to collect liquid water to meet the water demand. When the water content is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold, it means that the water content in the air is very high. In this case, a second water collection instruction can be directly generated. Only the condensed water generated by the evaporator of the air conditioning equipment is used to collect liquid water to meet the water demand, and energy consumption can be reduced at the same time.
