[0047] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0048] Hereinafter, an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0049] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 The air conditioner according to the embodiment of the present invention comprises a casing part 10, a heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 and a humidification assembly 30. The casing part 10 is formed with an air inlet structure 13 and an air outlet structure 14. The heat exchange and air supply assembly 20 is arranged in the casing part 10 and comprises a heat exchanger part 21 and an air duct part 22. During the operation of the air conditioner, the external air enters the interior of the casing part 10 through the air inlet structure 13, exchanges heat with the heat exchanger part 21, and then flows out from the air outlet structure 14 to the room. The outflowing air has the function of regulating the air temperature after the heat exchange treatment of the heat exchanger assembly, thereby realizing the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner.
[0050] The humidifying component 30 is arranged in the housing part 10 and includes a humidifying component 31 and a humidifying water tank 40 for supplying water to the humidifying component 31. The humidifying component 31 is located between the heat exchange and air supply component 20 and the air outlet structure 14. During the operation of the air conditioner, the external air enters the interior of the housing part 10 through the air inlet structure 13. The humidifying component 30 can humidify the airflow passing through the humidifying component 30. The air humidified by the humidifying component 30 flows out from the air outlet structure 14, which can realize the humidification function of the air conditioner.
[0051] The humidifying component 31 includes a water tank 36 and a wet film 37, the lower end of the wet film 37 is located in the water tank 36, and the humidifying water tank 40 is suitable for supplying water to the humidifying component 31 from the top of the humidifying component 31. In the process of the humidifying water tank 40 supplying water to the humidifying component 31 from the top of the humidifying component 31, the water at the top of the humidifying component 31 flows through the wet film 37 under the action of its own gravity and contacts the wet film 37, which can directly supply water to the wet film 37, increase the water absorption speed of the wet film 37, and to a certain extent increase the water content of the wet film 37, thereby increasing the humidification amount of the humidifying component 31, and at the same time, the humidity of each part of the wet film 37 can be made more uniform, and to a certain extent, the humidification effect of the humidifying component 30 can be made more uniform.
[0052] In addition, the water in the humidifying water tank 40 flows through the wet membrane 37 and then flows into the water tank 36 at the lower end of the wet membrane 37. The lower end of the wet membrane 37 is located in the water tank 36, so that the lower end of the wet membrane 37 is immersed in the water in the water tank 36 and can absorb the water in the water tank 36 by self-absorption. As a result, the wet membrane 37 can not only be replenished with water through the water supply of the humidifying water tank 40, but also can be replenished with water in the water tank 36 by self-absorption, thereby optimizing the structure of the humidifying component 30 and further improving the water absorption speed of the wet membrane 37.
[0053] Optionally, the humidification water tank 40 can be fixed to the casing component 10 , and the water tank 36 can also be fixed to the casing component 10 . For example, the casing component 10 further includes an air outlet frame 112 , and the humidification component 31 and the water tank 36 are both fixed to the air outlet frame 112 .
[0054] According to the air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing a humidifying component 31 and a humidifying water tank 40, the humidifying water tank 40 supplies water to the humidifying component 31 from the top of the humidifying component 31, thereby optimizing the structure of the humidifying component 30, being able to increase the water absorption speed of the wet film 37, and increasing the humidification amount of the humidifying component 31, thereby being able to improve the humidification effect of the air conditioner.
[0055] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4According to some embodiments of the present invention, a humidifying water tank 40 is located above a humidifying component 31, and a water supply channel 42 for supplying water to the humidifying component 31 is provided at the bottom of the humidifying water tank 40. A water supply valve 41 for opening and closing the water supply channel 42 is provided in the water supply channel 42, and the water supply valve 41 is electrically connected to a control module 50 of the air conditioner. A water supply valve 41 for opening and closing the water supply channel 42 is provided in the water supply channel 42. The water supply valve 41 is electrically connected to the control module 50 of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner turns on the humidification function, the control module 50 controls the water supply valve 41 to open the water supply channel 42, and the water in the humidification water tank 40 flows to the humidification component 31 through the water supply channel 42 and supplies water to the humidification component 31. The operation is relatively simple; when the air conditioner stops the humidification function, the control module 50 closes the water supply channel 42, and the water in the humidification water tank 40 will not be able to flow to the humidification component 31 through the water supply channel 42, which can prevent the humidification water tank 40 from continuously supplying water to the water tank 36, causing the water in the water tank 36 to overflow due to excessive water.
[0056] By arranging the humidifying water tank 40 above the humidifying component 31 and providing a water supply channel 42 for supplying water to the humidifying component 31 at the bottom of the humidifying water tank 40, the water in the humidifying water tank 40 can flow to the top of the humidifying component 31 through the water supply channel 42 under the action of its own gravity and supply water to the humidifying component 31. This can eliminate the need for a water pump for pumping water in the humidifying water tank 40 to the humidifying component 31, thereby reducing costs and making the structure of the humidifying component 30 compact.
[0057] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the humidifying component 31 includes a water diversion box 32, a water supply channel 42 is suitable for supplying water to the water diversion box 32, the water diversion box 32 is arranged on the upper surface of the wet film 37, and the bottom wall of the water diversion box 32 is formed with a plurality of water diversion holes 341 for supplying water to the wet film 37. By arranging the water diversion box 32 on the upper surface of the wet film 37 and arranging the plurality of water diversion holes 341 on the bottom wall of the water diversion box 32, the water in the humidifying water tank 40 enters the water diversion box 32 through the water supply channel 42, and under the action of its own gravity, flows to the humidifying component 31 at the positions of the plurality of water diversion holes 341 of the water diversion box 32 and supplies water to the humidifying component 31. In addition, after the water flows out through the plurality of water diversion holes 341, it can flow to the humidifying component 31 more evenly, so that the water can be supplied to the wet film 37 more evenly, and the humidification effect of the wet film 37 can be made more uniform.
[0058] Optionally, the water diversion hole 341 may be in various simple geometric shapes such as a circle, a rectangle, an ellipse, etc., to facilitate production and processing.
[0059] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the water diversion hole 341 can be 3 mm 2 ~30mm 2, to ensure that the water passing through the water diversion hole 341 can flow to the humidifying component 31 more evenly, and at the same time, to ensure that the water flowing out of the water diversion hole 341 has a more moderate flow rate.
[0060] It should be noted that the term “plurality” in the present invention refers to two or more.
[0061] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water separation box 32 has a water receiving chamber 33 and a water replenishing chamber 34, the water receiving chamber 33 and the water replenishing chamber 34 are separated by a partition plate 35, the water supply channel 42 is suitable for supplying water to the water receiving chamber 33, the partition plate 35 is formed with a connecting hole 351 connecting the water receiving chamber 33 and the water replenishing chamber 34, the water replenishing chamber 34 is located on the upper surface of the wet film 37, and the bottom wall of the water replenishing chamber 34 is formed with a plurality of water separation holes 341. The water separation box 32 is provided with a water receiving chamber 33 and a water replenishing chamber 34, a partition plate 35 is provided between the water receiving chamber 33 and the water replenishing chamber 34, the partition plate 35 is formed with a connecting hole 351, the water in the humidification water tank 40 flows into the water receiving chamber 33 through the water supply channel 42, the water in the water receiving chamber 33 flows into the water replenishing chamber 34 through the connecting hole 351 on the partition plate 35, and flows to the humidification component 31 at the position of the plurality of water separation holes 341 on the bottom wall of the water replenishing chamber 34.
[0062] In addition, by providing the water receiving chamber 33 and the partition plate 35 between the water receiving chamber 33 and the water replenishing chamber 34, a buffering effect can be played on the water flow, and the situation that the water in the humidification water tank 40 is too large and the water flow rate is too fast, resulting in poor water absorption effect of the wet film 37 and low humidification, thereby affecting the humidification effect of the air conditioner, can be avoided. At the same time, the water in the humidification water tank 40 can be supplied to the wet film 37 more evenly after passing through the water separation box 32.
[0063] Optionally, the connecting hole 351 can be in various simple geometric shapes such as a rectangle, a rectangle, a circle, etc., to facilitate production and processing.
[0064] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water receiving chamber 33 is located on one side of the water replenishing chamber 34 in the horizontal direction, for example, referring to Figure 3-Figure 4 The water receiving chamber 33 is located at the front side of the water replenishing chamber 34 in the horizontal direction. By arranging the water receiving chamber 33 at one side of the water replenishing chamber 34 in the horizontal direction, the water in the humidification water tank 40 enters the water receiving chamber 33 through the water supply channel 42, and after the amount of water in the water receiving chamber 33 reaches a certain level, it flows to the water replenishing chamber 34 in the horizontal direction through the connecting hole 351. In addition, the water receiving chamber 33 can buffer the water flow, so as to avoid the situation that the water in the humidification water tank 40 flows to the water diversion box 32 at a fast speed, resulting in poor water absorption effect of the wet film 37 and low humidification amount, thereby affecting the humidification effect of the air conditioner.
[0065] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, in the up-down direction, the bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 33 is higher than the bottom wall of the water replenishing chamber 34. The bottom wall of the water receiving chamber 33 is higher than the bottom wall of the water replenishing chamber 34. When the amount of water in the water receiving chamber 33 reaches a certain level, it flows through the connecting hole 351 and can flow to the water replenishing chamber 34 by the water's own gravity, and at the same time, the water can flow more smoothly.
[0066] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting hole 351 is formed at the bottom of the partition plate 35. The connecting hole 351 is located at the bottom of the partition plate 35, and the position is relatively reasonable, which can ensure that the water in the water receiving chamber 33 can flow into the water replenishing chamber 34 through the connecting hole 351, and can avoid the situation that the connecting hole 351 is too high on the partition plate 35 in the up and down direction, resulting in the water in the water receiving chamber 33 that is lower than the position of the connecting hole 351 being unable to enter the water replenishing chamber 34 through the connecting hole 351.
[0067] Reference Figure 4-Figure 6 According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water replenishment chamber 34 extends along the width direction of the wet film 37, and a plurality of connecting holes 351 are formed at the bottom of the partition plate 35, and the plurality of connecting holes 351 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the wet film 37. The plurality of connecting holes 351 arranged at intervals along the width direction of the wet film 37 can make the water in the water receiving chamber 33 flow to the water replenishment chamber 34 more quickly and evenly. The water replenishment chamber 34 is located on the upper surface of the wet film 37 and extends along the width direction of the wet film 37. The structure of the water replenishment chamber 34 is relatively reasonable, which can ensure that when the water replenishment chamber 34 supplies water to the humidifying component 31, the water flows downward along the width direction of the wet film 37, and the water supply is relatively uniform. After the water in the water replenishment chamber 34 flows out from the water diversion hole 341 on the bottom wall of the water replenishment chamber 34, it can flow to the wet film 37 more evenly, thereby further ensuring that the humidification effect of the humidifying component 31 is relatively uniform.
[0068] Optionally, the size of the water replenishment chamber 34 in the width direction of the wet film 37 may be equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the wet film 37 to ensure that the water flowing out of the water replenishment chamber 34 can cover a larger area of the wet film 37 .
[0069] It should be explained that the airflow passes through the wet film 37 along the thickness direction of the wet film 37 , and the width direction of the wet film 37 is perpendicular to the thickness direction of the wet film 37 and perpendicular to the up-down direction.
[0070] Reference Figure 2-Figure 3According to some embodiments of the present invention, the water supply channel 42 extends in the up-down direction, and the lower end of the water supply channel 42 is located in the water receiving chamber 33. The water supply channel 42 extends in the up-down direction, and the structure is relatively reasonable, so that after the water in the humidification water tank 40 flows into the water supply channel 42, the flow path is relatively reasonable and the flow is relatively smooth. The lower end of the water supply channel 42 is located in the water receiving chamber 33, so that the water in the humidification water tank 40 can flow into the water receiving chamber 33 more smoothly after passing through the water supply channel 42, and the water flowing into the water receiving chamber 33 can be prevented from flowing out of the water receiving chamber 33 to the outside of the water separation box 32. For example, it can prevent the water flowing into the water receiving chamber 33 from splashing and flowing out of the water separation box 32, which can improve the safety of the whole machine to a certain extent.
[0071] When the humidifying water tank 40 supplies water to the humidifying component 31, the water in the humidifying water tank 40 enters the water receiving chamber 33 of the water dividing box 32 in the vertical direction through the water supply channel 42 under the action of its own gravity, and after the amount of water in the water receiving chamber 33 reaches a certain level, it flows to the water replenishing chamber 34 in the horizontal direction through the connecting hole 351 of the partition plate 35, and finally flows to the humidifying component 31 in the vertical direction through the water dividing hole 341 on the bottom wall of the water dividing box 32, and the flow path is relatively reasonable. In addition, through this arrangement, the water flowing through the water dividing box 32 can flow to the humidifying component 31 more smoothly and evenly.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 According to some embodiments of the present invention, a water level sensor 361 is provided in the water tank 36 , and the water level sensor 361 is electrically connected to the control module 50 so that the water level sensor 361 and the water supply valve 41 can communicate with each other. When the air conditioner is in the humidification mode, the control module 50 controls the water supply valve 41 to open the water supply channel 42, and the water in the humidification water tank 40 flows to the humidification component 31 through the water supply channel 42 and supplies water to the humidification component 31, and the water level of the water tank 36 continues to rise; when the water level in the water tank 36 is higher than the preset water level height of the water level sensor 361, the water level sensor 361 converts the detected water level signal into an electrical signal, and transmits the electrical signal to the control module 50 electrically connected thereto, and the control module 50 controls the water supply valve 41 to close the water supply channel 42 until the water level in the water tank 36 is consumed to be equal to or lower than the preset water level height again, and the water level sensor 361 converts the detected water level signal into an electrical signal again, and transmits the electrical signal to the control module 50 electrically connected thereto, and the control module 50 controls the water supply valve 41 to open the water supply channel 42 again.
[0073] By providing a water level sensor 361 , the water level in the water tank 36 can be maintained below a preset water level, which can solve the problem of overflow of the water tank 36 due to excessive water and ensure that there is sufficient water in the water tank 36 to ensure the humidification effect of the humidification component 31 .

The humidifying component 31 is located in the second air outlet channel 27 and the humidifying component 31 is arranged opposite to the second air outlet structure 142.

By providing a connecting air vent 28, and providing a damper 29 for opening and closing the connecting air vent 28 at the connecting air vent 28, when the damper 29 closes the connecting air vent 28, external air enters the interior of the casing component 10 through the air inlet structure 13, passes through the wind wheel cavity 231, and then flows out from the first air outlet structure 141 through the first air outlet channel 26 connected to the wind wheel cavity 231; when the damper 29 opens the connecting air vent 28, at least part of the air can enter the second air outlet channel 27 through the connecting air vent 28 after passing through the wind wheel cavity 231, and flow out from the second air outlet structure 142 corresponding to the second air outlet channel 27. In this process, if the humidification water tank 40 supplies water to the humidification component 31, the air can be humidified by the humidification process of the humidification component 31 and then flow out from the second air outlet structure 142, so that the humidification function of the air conditioner can be realized.
[0088] Optionally, the damper 29 may be electrically connected to a control module 50 of the air conditioner, and the control module 50 controls the damper 29 to open or close the connecting air vent 28 .

By setting an air outlet 15 and setting an air guide plate assembly 16 or a switch door for opening and closing the air outlet 15 at the air outlet 15, and setting a connecting air outlet 28 for connecting the first air outlet channel 26 and the second air outlet channel 27 between the second air outlet channel 27 and the first air outlet channel 26, and setting a damper 29 for opening and closing the connecting air outlet 28 at the connecting air outlet 28, it is possible to control the air to flow out of the first air outlet structure 141 only through the first air outlet channel 26, or to flow out of the second air outlet structure 142 only through the second air outlet channel 27, or to control a part of the air to flow out of the first air outlet structure 141 through the first air outlet channel 26, and the other part of the air to flow out of the second air outlet structure 142 through the second air outlet channel 27, thereby realizing multiple functions of the air conditioner.
[0090] When the damper 29 closes the connecting air port 28 and the air port 15 of the first air outlet structure 141 is opened, air only flows out from the first air outlet structure 141. After the air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger component 21, it flows into the wind wheel cavity 231, and then flows out from the first air outlet structure 141 through the first air outlet channel 26 connected to the wind wheel cavity 231. The air flowing out from the first air outlet structure 141 can play a role in regulating the temperature, and can realize the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner.

The air flowing out of the first outlet structure 141 and the second outlet structure 142 can both play a role in regulating the temperature and realize the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner. And after the air flowing into the second outlet channel 27 flows through the multiple outlet micropores 17, the windless function of the air conditioner can be realized.
[0094] In this process, the airflow flowing into the second air outlet channel 27 passes through the humidifying component 31. If the humidifying water tank 40 supplies water to the humidifying component 31, the air flows out from the second air outlet structure 142 after being humidified by the humidifying component 31, and the humidification function of the air conditioner can be realized, so that the air has both the windless feeling function and the humidification function when the temperature is adjusted.

The air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger component 21 and flows into the wind wheel cavity 231. Then, the air flows into the second air outlet channel 27 through the connecting air vent 28 and flows out from the second air outlet structure 142. The second air outlet structure 142 is provided with a plurality of air outlet micropores 17, which can disperse the large air flow flowing out of the second air outlet structure 142 and convert the large air volume direct blowing into a small air flow direct blowing, so that the air conditioner can realize the windless function while realizing the heating or cooling function, thereby improving the air flow comfort.
[0114] During this process, the airflow flowing into the second air outlet channel 27 passes through the humidification component 31. If the control module 50 controls the humidification water tank 40 to supply water to the humidification component 31, the air will flow out from the second air outlet structure 142 after being humidified by the humidification component 31. The humidification function of the air conditioner can be realized, so that the air can have both windless function and humidification function when the temperature is adjusted.
[0115] When the damper 29 opens the connecting air vent 28, the first air guide plate 161 and the second air guide plate 162 move to open the air outlet 15, and the air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger component 21 and flows into the wind wheel cavity 231. Part of the air can flow out of the first air outlet structure 141 through the first air outlet channel 26 connected to the wind wheel cavity 231; another part of the air flows into the second air outlet channel 27 through the connecting air vent 28 and flows out of the second air outlet structure 142. The air flowing out of the first air outlet structure 141 and the second air outlet structure 142 can both play a role in regulating the temperature, and can realize the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner. And after the air flowing into the second air outlet channel 27 flows through the multiple air outlet micro-holes 17, the windless function of the air conditioner can be realized.
[0116] In this process, the airflow flowing into the second air outlet channel 27 passes through the humidifying component 31. If the control module 50 controls the humidifying water tank 40 to supply water to the humidifying component 31, the air flows out from the second air outlet structure 142 after being humidified by the humidifying component 31, and the humidification function of the air conditioner can be realized, so that the air has both the windless function and the humidification function when the temperature is adjusted. The air flowing out from the first air outlet structure 141 and the second air outlet structure 142 can both play a role in regulating the temperature, the air volume is large, the cooling or heating effect is more obvious, and the airflow comfort is high.
