DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0106] In order to better understand the above-mentioned technical scheme, the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application is described in detail below through the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical scheme of the embodiments of the present application, rather than limitations on the technical scheme of the present application. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the technical features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0107] like Figure 1 As shown, according to the first aspect of an embodiment of the present application, a liquid water source collection device is proposed, comprising: a liquid collection component 110; a liquid enrichment component 120, the liquid enrichment component 120 comprises a moisture absorption and dehumidification component and an energy supply component, the energy supply component is at least partially arranged corresponding to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component; a first pipe component 130, the first pipe component 130 is connected to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, and is used to supply an aqueous medium to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component; a second pipe component 140, the input end of the second pipe component 140 is connected to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, and the output end is connected to the liquid collection component 110, and the liquid collection component 110 is used to receive water vapor released by the moisture absorption and dehumidification component.

[0108] The liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application includes a liquid collection component 110, a liquid enrichment component 120, a first pipe component 130 and a second pipe component 140. During use, the first pipe component 130 is used to supply air to the dehumidification component, and the dehumidification component captures water vapor and water vapor in the air. Then the energy supply component can provide energy to the dehumidification component to prompt the dehumidification component to release water vapor. The water vapor can be supplied to the liquid collection component 110 through the second pipe component 140 for storage. When other electrical appliances need to use liquid water, such as an air conditioner or a humidifier 300, the liquid water in the liquid collection component 110 can be supplied to the electrical appliances. Based on this, the liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application can use the water vapor and water vapor in the air to automatically replenish liquid water into the liquid collection component 110, so there is no need for the user to replenish water or the number of times the user replenishes water can be greatly reduced, which can ensure the convenience of water use for electrical appliances and improve user experience; in addition, through the liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application, when water is not needed, the liquid water can be enriched by the liquid enrichment component 120 and stored by the liquid collection component 110, so when water is needed, the liquid collection component 110 can supply liquid water in time to ensure that the electrical appliances using water can obtain sufficient liquid water.

[0109] It can be understood that, in the use of the liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application, the medium output through the first pipe assembly 130 may also be other media containing water. Air is only an example. The type and category of the medium output through the first pipe assembly 130 are not specifically limited in this application.

[0110] like Figure 1 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component includes an enrichment zone and a regeneration zone; the first pipe assembly 130 includes: an input pipe 131, which is arranged at the upstream of the air flow of the liquid enrichment assembly 120; an output pipe 132, which is connected to the liquid enrichment assembly 120 and is arranged at the downstream of the air flow in the enrichment zone; the second pipe assembly 140 includes: a moisture collection pipe 141, which is arranged at the upstream of the air flow of the liquid enrichment assembly 120; a moisture discharge pipe 142, one end of the moisture discharge pipe 142 is connected to the liquid enrichment assembly 120, toward the downstream of the air flow in the regeneration zone, and the other end is connected to the liquid collection assembly 110.

[0111] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the dehumidification component is further provided. The dehumidification component may include an enrichment zone and a regeneration zone. During use, the first pipe assembly 130 supplies air or other media carrying water vapor to the enrichment zone. The enrichment zone can capture and enrich the water vapor or water vapor. The energy supply component can provide energy to the regeneration zone to allow the captured water vapor or water vapor to separate from the dehumidification component and enter the second pipe assembly 140, and can further be transported to the liquid collection assembly 110 through the second pipe assembly 140.

[0112] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the first pipe component 130 and the second pipe component 140 is further provided. The first pipe component 130 may include an input pipe 131 and an output pipe 132, and the second pipe component 140 may include a moisture collection pipe 141 and a moisture release pipe 142. During use, the input pipe 131 is used to introduce external air, and the air is supplied to the enrichment zone through the input pipe 131, and then the water vapor and / or water vapor in the air is captured by the enrichment zone, and then the air is discharged to the outside of the liquid water source collection device through the output pipe 132. When the liquid collection component 110 is needed to collect the liquid, the energy supply component provides energy to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component so that the water vapor or water vapor is separated from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component. In this case, air is introduced through the moisture collection pipe 141, and the air flows through the regeneration zone and is then supplied to the moisture release pipe 142. The wind formed by the air flow can carry the water vapor or water vapor separated from the moisture absorption and dehumidification component into the liquid collection component 110 to complete the water collection. By setting up the input pipe 131, the output pipe 132, the moisture collection pipe 141 and the moisture release pipe 142, it is convenient to achieve the enrichment of water vapor on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, and at the same time it is convenient to collect liquid on the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, making the liquid water collection of the liquid water source collection device more convenient.

[0113] 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 first pipe assembly 130 as air as an example, the air medium first passes through the enrichment zone through the upstream airflow of the enrichment zone and then is output through the downstream airflow; similarly, for the upstream and downstream airflow of the regeneration zone, the air medium passes through the upstream airflow through the regeneration zone and then is output through the downstream airflow. That is to say, the upstream and downstream airflow are determined based on the flow direction of the medium, rather than based on the placement position or orientation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component.

[0114] In a feasible embodiment, the liquid collection component 110 is used to be connected to a water-using device, and the water-using device includes a humidifying component or a cleaning component.

[0115] In this technical solution, the liquid collection component 110 can be connected to a water-using device, and the liquid collection component 110 is used to output liquid water to the water-using device, which can then utilize the liquid water, thereby reducing the frequency of replenishing water to the water-using device. The user does not even need to replenish water to the water-using device, thereby improving the user experience.

[0116] In this technical solution, the water-using device may include a humidifying component, and the liquid water collected by the liquid collection assembly 110 may be supplied to the humidifying unit. The humidifying unit may use this water to improve the humidity environment of the air, thereby making the user more comfortable.

[0117] In this technical solution, the water-using device may further include a cleaning component, which may utilize this portion of water for cleaning. For example, the air conditioner may include a cleaning component, which is used to clean the filter.

[0118] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 In a feasible embodiment, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component includes: a first shell 121, on which an enrichment zone and a regeneration zone are formed; a turntable 122, rotatably arranged in the first shell 121; the turntable 122 is used to capture water molecules in the air; the energy supply component includes: a regeneration component, which is used to provide heat energy to the regeneration zone to separate the water molecules from the turntable 122.

[0119] In this technical solution, the structural composition of the dehumidification component is further provided. The dehumidification component may include a first shell 121, a turntable 122 and an enrichment component. The input pipe 131, the output pipe 132, the moisture collection pipe 141 and the moisture release pipe 142 may be connected to the first shell 121 to facilitate the assembly of the liquid water source collection device, the supply of gas to the dehumidification component, and the output of gas with high moisture content by the dehumidification component.

[0120] In the embodiment of the present application, the turntable 122 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.

[0121] In one embodiment, the turntable 122 can 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 turntable 122 can also be formed by filling granular solids or particles made of at least one of the above porous materials.

[0122] In one embodiment, the rotating disk 122 may be a honeycomb or corrugated rotating disk carrying a desiccant, which can adsorb and desorb / desorb the absorbed water vapor to achieve repeated desorption and regeneration.

[0123] In one embodiment, the turntable 122 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.

[0124] In this technical solution, the moisture absorption and dehumidification component may include a turntable 122 and an enrichment component. During use, the turntable 122 can rotate relative to the first shell 121. When the air contacts the turntable 122 through the enrichment area on the first shell 121 via the input pipe 131, the enrichment component is the function of the area corresponding to the turntable 122 and the enrichment area. The water vapor or water vapor in the air can be captured by the area corresponding to the turntable 122 and the enrichment area. As the turntable 122 rotates, the turntable 122 will face the regeneration area, and the energy supply component will provide heat energy to the regeneration area. The turntable 122 can release water molecules, and the water molecules can enter the liquid collection component 110 through the dehumidification pipe 142. Based on this, with the continuous rotation of the turntable 122, the capture and release of water vapor can be achieved, and the liquid collection component 110 can enrich water.

[0125] 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 liquid cooling heat exchanger, a fan, and a vortex tube. Based on this, it is convenient to provide coldness to the rotating disk 122 through the enrichment component, so that the rotating disk 122 can capture water vapor and water vapor in the air.

[0126] It can be understood that in order to reduce the cost of the liquid water source collection device, the enrichment element can be a fan.

[0127] In a feasible implementation, the regeneration component includes at least one of heat radiation, a heat pump hot end, a heat pipe hot end, and a solar heat source. Based on this, the regeneration component provides heat energy to the rotating disk 122, the rotating disk 122 releases water vapor, and the liquid collection component 110 enriches liquid water.

[0128] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the liquid enrichment component 120 also includes: a first air supply member 123, which is arranged in the input pipe 131 and / or the output pipe 132, and is used to make air flow through the enrichment area of ​​the liquid enrichment component 120; a second air supply member 124, which is arranged in the moisture collection pipe 141 and / or the moisture release pipe 142, and is used to make air flow through the regeneration area of ​​the liquid enrichment component 120; a driving member 125, which is connected to the turntable 122, and is used to drive the turntable 122 to rotate.

[0129] In this technical solution, the liquid enrichment component 120 may further include a first air supply component 123. Through the arrangement of the first air supply component 123, it is convenient for the air to form an airflow and flow through the enrichment area of ​​the liquid enrichment component 120 through the input pipe 131 and the output pipe 132, so that the turntable 122 can capture water vapor and water vapor in the air.

[0130] In this technical solution, the liquid enrichment component 120 may further include a second air supply component 124. The second air supply component 124 is arranged to facilitate the formation of air flow. The air flow can carry the water vapor and water vapor released by the turntable 122 through the moisture collection pipe 141 and the moisture release pipe 142, so as to enrich the liquid water in the liquid collection component 110.

[0131] By disposing the first air supply member 123 and the second air supply member 124, kinetic energy can be provided for the flow of air, thereby facilitating the capture and release of water vapor.

[0132] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, according to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present application, an air conditioner is proposed, comprising: a liquid water source collection device as in any of the above technical solutions; and an air conditioner body.

Then the energy supply component can provide energy to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component to prompt the moisture absorption and dehumidification component to release water vapor. The water vapor can be supplied to the liquid collection component 110 through the second pipe component 140 for storage.

[0140] In this technical solution, considering that the air conditioner may be in cooling or heating mode, and at least one of the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210 of the air conditioner may be used as an evaporator, in this technical solution, the dehumidification pipe 142 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 second pipe assembly 140 is 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 assembly 110 collects the condensed water through the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and / or the indoor heat exchanger 210, which can improve the water production efficiency.

[0141] like Figure 3 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the moisture release pipe 142 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210 , and the liquid collection assembly 110 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210 .

[0142] In this technical solution, the moisture release pipe 142 of the second pipe group can be connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the air carrying water vapor and water vapor discharged through the moisture release pipe 142 will exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 230. When the air conditioner is in the process of cooling the indoor environment, the indoor heat exchanger 210 acts as an evaporator and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 acts as a condenser. The indoor heat exchanger 210 can condense the water vapor in the air, and then collect the condensed liquid through the liquid collection component 110. When the water-using device needs to use water, the liquid stored in the liquid collection component 110 can be supplied to the water-using device. In this way, the components of the air conditioner body can be used to condense the air with a high water content, and the air with a high humidity and water content can produce more water. Then the liquid collection component 110 collects the condensed liquid water through the air conditioner body, which can improve the water production efficiency.

[0143] like Figure 4 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the moisture discharge pipe 142 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 , and the liquid collection assembly 110 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 .

[0144] In this technical solution, the moisture release pipe 142 of the second pipe group can be connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230. The air carrying water vapor and water vapor discharged through the moisture release pipe 142 will exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 230. When the air conditioner is in the process of heating the indoor environment, the indoor heat exchanger 210 acts as a condenser and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 acts as an evaporator. The outdoor heat exchanger 230 can condense the water vapor in the air, and then collect the condensed liquid through the liquid collection component 110. When the water-using device needs to use water, the liquid stored in the liquid collection component 110 can be supplied to the water-using device. In this way, the components of the air conditioner body can be used to condense the air with a high water content, and the air with a high humidity and water content can produce more water. Then the liquid collection component 110 collects the condensed liquid water through the air conditioner body, which can improve the water production efficiency.

[0145] like Figure 5 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the dehumidification pipe 142 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the liquid collection assembly 110 includes a first water tank 111 and a second water tank 112, the first water tank 111 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230, and the second water tank 112 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210.

[0146] In this technical solution, the moisture release pipe 142 can also be connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210 at the same time. Based on this, no matter whether the air conditioner is in cooling or heating mode, there will be a heat exchanger as an evaporator, and the evaporator can condense the water vapor in the air, and then collect the condensed liquid through the liquid collection component 110. When the water-using device needs to use water, the liquid stored in the liquid collection component 110 can be supplied to the water-using device. In this way, no matter whether the air is in cooling or heating conditions, the components of the air conditioner body can be used to condense the air with a high water content, and the air with a high humidity water content can produce more water. Then the liquid collection component 110 collects the condensed liquid water through the air conditioner body, which can improve the water production efficiency.

[0147] In this technical solution, the structure of a liquid collection component 110 is further provided. The liquid collection component 110 may include a first water tank 111 and a second water tank 112. Since they respectively receive water formed after condensation through the outdoor heat exchanger 230 and the indoor heat exchanger 210, the water enrichment efficiency can be further improved, and the water demand of the air conditioner body can be guaranteed.

[0148] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the air conditioner body further includes: a second outdoor heat exchanger, the second outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the regeneration zone, and is used for condensing water vapor released from the regeneration zone.

[0149] In this technical solution, the air conditioner body can also include a second outdoor heat exchanger, that is, in addition to the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 of the air conditioner body, the air conditioner can also be equipped with a second outdoor heat exchanger. The medium for enriching water vapor output from the regeneration zone can be supplied to the second outdoor heat exchanger, and the second outdoor heat exchanger condenses the water vapor to produce more condensed water.

[0150] In a feasible embodiment, the second outdoor heat exchanger is the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250, and the dehumidification pipe 142 is connected to the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250; the air conditioner body also includes: a second refrigerant pipeline, the second refrigerant pipeline is connected to the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250, one end of the second refrigerant pipeline is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the other end is connected to the compressor 220, so that the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250 is connected in parallel with the outdoor heat exchanger 230.

[0151] In this technical solution, the second outdoor heat exchanger can be the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250, that is, in addition to the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 of the air conditioner body, the air conditioner can also be equipped with the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250. Through the setting of the second refrigerant pipeline, the first liquid collecting heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 are connected in parallel. Based on this, when the air conditioner is in the heating mode and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 serves as an evaporator, the first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250 also serves as an evaporator. The first liquid collecting heat exchanger 250 can condense the water vapor in the air discharged through the dehumidification pipe 142, and then the liquid condensed by the condensation component can be collected through the liquid collection component 110. The setting of the second refrigerant pipeline and the second throttling component 260 facilitates the control of the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger, which is more convenient for the formation of condensation or frost, and can improve the liquid enrichment efficiency.

[0152] In some examples, the second refrigerant pipeline can be connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210 or the compressor 220, or it can be connected between the compressor 220 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230, or it can be connected between the first throttling component 240 and the indoor heat exchanger 210. It is only necessary to connect the first liquid collection heat exchanger 250 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230 in parallel. The connection position of the second refrigerant pipeline on the first refrigeration pipeline is not limited in this application.

[0153] In some examples, such as Figure 6The second refrigerant pipeline shown flows through the first liquid collection heat exchanger 250, one end of the second refrigerant pipeline is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline between the first throttling component 240 and the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the other end is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline between the compressor 220 and the outdoor heat exchanger 230, so that the first liquid collection heat exchanger 250 is connected in parallel with the outdoor heat exchanger 230; the second throttling component 260, the second throttling component 260 is respectively connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210 and the first liquid collection heat exchanger 250; the third air supply component, the third air supply component is used to supply air to the first liquid collection heat exchanger 250.

[0154] In this technical solution, the air conditioner also includes a third air supply component, which is used to supply air to the condensation component. Based on this, when the condensation component is frosted, air is supplied through the first air supply component to melt the frost.

[0155] like Figure 7 As shown, in a feasible embodiment, the second outdoor heat exchanger is a second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270, the dehumidification pipe 142 is connected to the second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270, and the air conditioner body also includes: a third refrigerant pipeline, the third refrigerant pipeline flows through the second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270, one end of the third refrigerant pipeline is connected to the first throttling assembly 240, and the other end is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210; a control valve 280, the control valve 280 is arranged on the third refrigerant pipeline; and / or, a fourth air supply member, the fourth air supply member is used to supply air to the second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270.

[0156] In this technical solution, the air conditioner body may further include a third refrigerant pipeline, one end of the third refrigerant pipeline is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline between the first throttling component 240 and the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the other end is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline between the compressor 220 and the indoor heat exchanger 210. When the air conditioner body is in cooling mode and the indoor heat exchanger 210 acts as an evaporator, the liquid collecting heat exchanger also acts as an evaporator. The second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270 can condense the water vapor in the air discharged through the dehumidification pipe 142, and then the liquid condensed by the condensation component can be collected through the liquid collecting component 110, or the second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270 can also condense the water vapor in the air into frost, and after the frost melts, liquid water can also be formed for the liquid collecting component 110 to collect. The arrangement of the third refrigerant pipeline and the third throttling component facilitates the control of the temperature of the liquid collecting heat exchanger, facilitates the formation of condensation or frost, and improves the liquid enrichment efficiency.

[0157] It can be understood that the third refrigerant pipeline can be connected to the compressor 220, can be connected to the indoor heat exchanger 210, and can also be connected between the compressor 220 and the indoor heat exchanger 210. It is only necessary to connect the second liquid collection heat exchanger 270 and the indoor heat exchanger 210 in parallel. The connection position of the third refrigerant pipeline on the first refrigeration pipeline is not limited in this application.

[0158] In this technical solution, the air conditioner body also includes a fourth air supply member, which is used to supply air to the condensation component. Based on this, when the condensation component is frosted, the frost can be melted by supplying air through the fourth air supply component.

[0159] In this technical solution, the air conditioner may further include a control valve 280, and the control valve 280 may control the opening or closing of the third refrigerant pipeline, and adjust the opening degree of the third refrigerant pipeline, thereby facilitating the control of the start or stop of the condensation component, and facilitating the adjustment of the water production efficiency of the condensation component.

[0160] like Figure 7 As shown, in some examples, one end of the third refrigerant pipeline is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline between the first throttling assembly 240 and the indoor heat exchanger 210, and the other end is connected to the first refrigerant pipeline between the compressor 220 and the indoor heat exchanger 210; a control valve 280, the control valve 280 is arranged on the third refrigerant pipeline; a fourth air supply member, the fourth air supply member is used to supply air to the second liquid collecting heat exchanger 270.

[0161] like Figure 2 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the air conditioner further includes: a second shell 290 , in which the outdoor heat exchanger 230 , the compressor 220 and the liquid collection assembly 110 are disposed.

[0162] In this technical solution, the air conditioner may further include a second shell 290, through which the outdoor heat exchanger 230, the compressor 220 and the liquid collection assembly 110 may be accommodated. Based on this, when the second shell 290 is arranged outdoors, the outdoor heat exchanger 230, the compressor 220 and the liquid collection assembly 110 may also be arranged outdoors. On the one hand, the space occupied by the air conditioner indoors can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience; on the other hand, the noise of the air conditioner can be reduced, thereby improving the user experience.

[0163] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in a feasible implementation manner, the air conditioner further includes: a humidifier 300, and the liquid collection assembly 110 is connected to the humidifier 300; wherein the humidifier 300 includes a curtain body, and the liquid collection assembly 110 is used to output liquid to the curtain body.

[0164] In this technical solution, the air conditioner may further include a humidifier 300, and the humidifier 300 may include a curtain body. When the air environment needs to be humidified, liquid may be supplied to the curtain body through a liquid collecting portion, and then the liquid evaporates to adjust the indoor air humidity.

[0165] like Figures 2 to 7 As shown, in a feasible implementation, the air conditioner further includes: a fresh air module 310, the fresh air module 310 includes a first filter element; a second filter element 320, the second filter element 320 is used to be arranged upstream of the airflow in the enrichment zone and / or the regeneration zone.

[0166] In this technical solution, the air conditioner may further include a fresh air module 310, and the fresh air module 310 may filter the air through a first filter element arranged at the air inlet of the fresh air module 310 to improve the quality of indoor air.

[0167] In this technical solution, the air conditioner may further include a second filter element 320, which is arranged upstream of the air flow in the enrichment zone and / or regeneration zone, so that the air introduced by the liquid water source collection device is cleaner and the liquid enrichment component 120 can be in a better liquid enrichment state.

[0168] like Figures 3 to 7 The second filter element 320 may be multiple, that is, arranged in the air flow upstream of the enrichment zone and the regeneration zone respectively. When the second filter element 320 is multiple, the second filter element 320 can be arranged on different sides of the turntable 122, and the first air supply element 123 and the second air supply element 124 are arranged on the same side of the turntable 122. The first air supply element 123 is arranged in the air flow upstream of the turntable 122, corresponding to the enrichment zone, and is used to supply air to the turntable 122, and the second air supply element 124 is arranged on the turntable 122. 2, and is arranged corresponding to the regeneration zone, for sucking the airflow passing through the turntable 122, that is, relative to the enrichment zone above the turntable 122, the airflow can first pass through the second filter element 320 on one side of the turntable 122, and then enter the enrichment zone through the first air supply element 123; for the regeneration zone above the turntable 122, the airflow can first pass through the second filter element 320 on the other side of the turntable 122, and then pass through the turntable 122 and / or the regeneration element, and finally be extracted through the second air supply element 124. Such an arrangement ensures the air supply efficiency of the first air supply element 123, and makes the second air supply element 124 far away from the heating device, which can improve the purification efficiency and service life.

[0169] In some examples, when there are multiple second filter elements 320, the second filter elements 320 can be arranged on the same side of the turntable 122, and the first air supply element 123 and the second air supply element 124 are arranged on different sides of the turntable 122. The first air supply element 123 is arranged upstream of the air flow of the turntable 122, corresponding to the enrichment zone, and is used to supply air to the turntable 122, while the second air supply element 124 is arranged downstream of the air flow of the turntable 122, corresponding to the regeneration zone, and is used to suck the air flow passing through the turntable 122, that is, relative to the enrichment zone above the turntable 122, the air flow can first pass through the second filter element 320 on one side of the turntable 122, and then enter the enrichment zone through the first air supply element 123; similarly, for the regeneration zone above the turntable 122, the air flow can first pass through the second filter element 320 on the other side of the turntable 122, and then pass through the turntable 122, and finally be discharged through the second air supply element 124. Such a configuration ensures the air supply efficiency of the first air supply member 123 and also keeps the second air supply member 124 away from the heating device, thereby improving the purification efficiency and service life.

[0170] 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 first pipe assembly 130 as air as an example, the air medium first passes through the enrichment zone through the upstream airflow of the enrichment zone and then is output through the downstream airflow; similarly, for the upstream and downstream airflow of the regeneration zone, the air medium passes through the upstream airflow through the regeneration zone and then is output through the downstream airflow. That is to say, the upstream and downstream airflow are determined based on the flow direction of the medium, rather than based on the placement position or orientation of the moisture absorption and dehumidification component.

[0171] In a feasible implementation manner, the air conditioner further includes: a cleaning mechanism 330 , the liquid collection assembly 110 is connected to the cleaning mechanism 330 , and the cleaning mechanism 330 is used to clean the first filter element and / or the second filter element 320 .

[0172] In this technical solution, the air conditioner may further include a cleaning mechanism 330, through which the first filter element and / or the second filter element 320 can be cleaned, and the cleaning mechanism 330 is connected to the liquid collection component 110, and the liquid collection component 110 can supply water for cleaning the filter to the cleaning mechanism 330, which can improve the cleaning efficiency and cleanliness of the first filter element and / or the second filter element 320, thereby ensuring the filtering effect and improving the indoor air quality. At the same time, manual intervention is reduced during the cleaning process, thereby improving the user experience.

[0173] In some examples, the air conditioner may further include a cleaning filter, which may be disposed within the cleaning mechanism 330, at the output end of the liquid collection component 110, or on a passage between the liquid collection component 110 and the cleaning mechanism 330. The cleaning filter is used to filter water output from the liquid collection component 110 to the cleaning mechanism 330 or to filter water output from the cleaning mechanism 330. This arrangement makes the cleaning water cleaner and can reduce the probability of secondary contamination.

[0174] It can be understood that, through the air conditioner and liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application, most of the water collected by the liquid water source collection device 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.

[0175] like Figure 8 As shown, according to the third aspect of the embodiment of the present application, a control method is proposed for controlling an air conditioner as in any of the above technical solutions, and the control method includes:

[0176] Step 301: In response to the first water collection instruction, the first pipeline component is controlled to be turned on so that the liquid enrichment component enriches water molecules. It can be understood that the liquid enrichment component enriches water molecules by condensing water vapor in the air to form condensed water, or by condensing water vapor in the air so that the water vapor condenses to form frost, and then the frost is collected and melted to obtain liquid water.

[0177] Step 302: Control the second pipe component to open to collect liquid water into the liquid collection component.

[0178] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is applied to the air conditioner of the above technical solution, so the control method has all the beneficial effects of the air conditioner of the above technical solution.

[0179] The control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can control the first pipeline component to be turned on after receiving the first water collection instruction, and the air in the first pipeline component will flow through the moisture absorption and dehumidification component, which will capture water vapor and water vapor in the air. After the moisture absorption and dehumidification component absorbs the water vapor and water vapor, the second pipeline component can be turned on, and at the same time, the energy supply component can be used to provide energy to the moisture absorption and dehumidification component to prompt the moisture absorption and dehumidification component to release water vapor. The water vapor can be supplied to the liquid collection component through the second pipeline component for storage and enrichment. When the air conditioner needs to use water, liquid water can be output through the liquid collection component. Here, through the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, water vapor and water vapor in the air can be used to automatically replenish liquid water into the liquid collection component, so there is no need for the user to replenish water or the number of times the user replenishes water can be greatly reduced, which can ensure the convenience of water use for the air conditioner and improve the user experience; in addition, through the liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application, when water is not needed, the liquid water can be enriched by the liquid enrichment component and stored by the liquid collection component. Therefore, when water is needed, the liquid collection component can supply liquid water in time to ensure that electrical appliances that use water can obtain sufficient liquid water.

[0180] In a feasible embodiment, in response to the second water collection instruction, the heat exchanger connected to the liquid collection component 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 by the liquid collection component.

[0181] In this technical solution, in response to the second water collection instruction, the heat exchanger connected to the liquid collection component can be controlled to act as an evaporator. When the water vapor in the air encounters the evaporator inside the air conditioner, it will condense into water droplets due to the decrease in temperature. This water can be collected by the liquid collection component, and liquid water can also be automatically added to the liquid collection component. Therefore, there is no need for the user to replenish water or the number of times the user replenishes water can be greatly reduced, which can ensure the convenience of water use for the air conditioner and improve the user experience. In addition, through the liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application, when water is not needed, the liquid water can be enriched by the liquid enrichment component and stored by the liquid collection component. Therefore, when water is needed, the liquid collection component can supply liquid water in time to ensure that electrical appliances that use water can obtain enough liquid water.

[0182] In a feasible embodiment, in response to the third water collection instruction, the moisture discharge pipe is controlled to be connected to the heat exchanger connected to the liquid collection component; the heat exchanger connected to the liquid collection component 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 by the liquid collection component.

[0183] In this technical solution, it is also possible to respond to the third water collection instruction. In this case, the air in the first pipe component will flow through the dehumidification component, which captures water vapor and water vapor in the air. After the dehumidification component adsorbs the water vapor and water vapor, it can be connected to the second pipe component. At the same time, the energy supply component can provide energy to the dehumidification component to prompt the dehumidification component to release water vapor. The water vapor can be supplied to the heat exchanger through the second pipe component for condensation, and then form condensed water or frost. The condensed water and / or the melted water of the frost are collected by the liquid collection component. In this way, the water vapor is first enriched by the liquid water source collection device, and then the heat exchange of the air conditioner is used. The condensed water can be formed by condensing the water, and finally the condensed water is collected by the liquid collecting component. The liquid collecting component can also be automatically replenished with liquid water. Therefore, there is no need for users to replenish water or the number of times users replenish water can be greatly reduced, which can ensure the convenience of water use for the air conditioner and improve user experience. In addition, through the liquid water source collection device provided in the embodiment of the present application, when water is not needed, the liquid water can be enriched by the liquid enrichment component and stored by the liquid collecting component. Therefore, when water is needed, the liquid collecting component can supply liquid water in time to ensure that the electrical appliances using water can obtain sufficient liquid water and more liquid water can be collected at the same time.

[0184] In summary, the control method provided in the embodiment of the present application can use the liquid enrichment component of the liquid water source collection device to collect liquid water in response to the first water collection instruction, can use the evaporator of the air conditioner to collect liquid water in response to the second water collection instruction, and can first use the liquid enrichment component of the liquid water source collection device to enrich water vapor and then use the evaporator of the air conditioner to collect liquid water in response to the third water collection instruction.

[0185] 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.

[0186] 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.

[0187] 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.

[0188] It can be understood that the air conditioner 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.

[0189] 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.

[0190] 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 conditioner does not have a high requirement 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 conditioner; when the water demand is greater than or equal to the first threshold and less than the second threshold, it means that the air conditioner or the user has a high requirement for water consumption. In this case, the liquid enrichment component, the first pipeline component and the second pipeline component of the liquid water source collection device 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 conditioner has a high water demand. In this case, a third water collection instruction can be generated, first using the liquid enrichment component of the liquid water source collection device to enrich water vapor, and then using the evaporator of the air conditioner to collect liquid water, so as to maximize the enrichment efficiency of liquid water and meet the water demand.

[0191] In a feasible embodiment, based on water demand, the step of generating the first water collection instruction, the second water collection instruction or the third water collection instruction includes: based on the water content in the external air, the step of generating the first water collection instruction, the second water collection instruction or the third water collection instruction includes: when the water content is less than a fourth threshold, generating the third water collection instruction; when the water content is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold and less than the fifth threshold, generating the first water collection instruction; when the water content is greater than or equal to the fifth threshold, generating the second water collection instruction; wherein the value of the fourth threshold is less than the fifth threshold.

[0192] 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 value, 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 liquid water source collection device is used to enrich the water vapor, and then the evaporator of the air conditioner 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 value and less than the fifth threshold value, 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 liquid water source collection device 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 value, 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 conditioner is used to collect liquid water to meet the water demand, and at the same time, energy consumption can be reduced.
