[0044] For example, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0045] As Figures 1-11 shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a housing assembly 1, a water tank assembly 2, and a lighting assembly 3. The housing assembly 1 includes a panel 11, and the panel 11 has a window 12; the water tank assembly 2 is disposed in the housing assembly 1, and the water tank assembly 2 includes a water tank 21 and a water level tube 22 that communicates with the water tank 21 to form a communicating vessel. The water level tube 22 is located on a side of the water tank 21 close to the panel 11 and is correspondingly disposed with the window 12; the lighting assembly 3 is disposed in the housing assembly 1 and includes a light source member 31 adapted to illuminate the water level tube 22.

[0046] Thus, the water level tube 22 can be observed through the window 12 to directly obtain water level data, and the light source member 31 can illuminate the water level tube 22 to make it easier for the user to complete the observation, improving the user's satisfaction.

[0047] For example, with reference to Figures 1-3 shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a housing assembly 1 and a water tank assembly 2. The housing assembly 1 includes a panel 11. The panel 11 is disposed on the front side of the air conditioner 100, and the panel 11 has a window 12. The window 12 is configured as a through-hole structure or a transparent structure so that the user can observe the rear side of the panel 11 through the window 12.

[0048] The water tank assembly 2 is disposed inside the housing assembly 1. The water tank assembly 2 includes a water tank 21 and a water level pipe 22. The water tank 21 supplies water to the humidifying assembly 83 of the air conditioner 100 through a water trough 23, so that the humidifying assembly 83 can humidify the air flowing into the room. The water level pipe 22 extends vertically and communicates with the water tank 21 to form a communicating vessel. When the water level in the water tank 21 changes, the water level in the water level pipe 22 can change accordingly.

[0049] The water level pipe 22 is located on the side of the water tank 21 close to the panel 11 and is correspondingly arranged with the viewing window 12. The water level pipe 22 is configured to be transparent or semi-transparent, such as being made of plastic or glass. The user can observe the water level pipe 22 through the viewing window 12 to obtain the water level data in the water tank 21, so that the user can perform subsequent operations according to the water level data, such as adding water to the water tank 21, stopping adding water, or changing water. Thereby, the convenience of the user is improved.

[0050] Wherein, the air conditioner 100 further includes a lighting assembly 3. The lighting assembly 3 is disposed inside the housing assembly 1. The lighting assembly 3 includes a light source member 31. The light source member 31 can be a lighting device such as an LED lamp. The light source member 31 is used to irradiate light towards the water level pipe 22 to illuminate the water level pipe 22, so that the user can better observe the water level data, especially at night or in a dim environment. Thereby, it is convenient for the user to observe the water level in the water tank 21.

[0051] For the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, by providing a viewing window 12 on the panel 11, the user can observe the water level pipe 22 through the viewing window 12 to obtain the water level data, which improves the convenience. And by setting the light source member 31, the water level pipe 22 can be illuminated, so that the user can more easily complete the observation, improving the user's satisfaction.

[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figures 2-3 shown, the light source member 31 can be disposed on the side of the water tank 21 close to the panel 11, and the light source member 31 is located on the side of the water level pipe 22. For example, a light source member 31 can be provided on one side of the water level pipe 22, or light source members 31 can be provided on both sides of the water level pipe 22 respectively. The present application does not limit this. Through the above settings, a larger area of the water level pipe 22 can be directly irradiated by the light source member 31, which is beneficial to improving the brightness uniformity of the water level pipe 22 for the user to observe.

[0053] Of course, the present application is not limited thereto. The present application can also provide a light source member 31 at one end of the water level pipe 22, or provide light source members 31 at both ends of the light source member 31. Thereby, it is beneficial to meet different working conditions.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 3 includes: a first baffle 3211 disposed between the panel 11 and the light source member 31; and / or a second baffle 3212 disposed on a side of the light source member 31 away from the water level tube 22.

[0055] For example, with reference to Figures 4-6 As shown, the lighting assembly 3 can be provided to include a first baffle 3211. The size of the first baffle 3211 is larger than that of the light source member 31. The first baffle 3211 is disposed between the panel 11 and the light source member 31. The first baffle 3211 is made of an opaque material or a low-transparency material. The first baffle 3211 is used to block the light irradiated by the light source member 31 towards the panel 11, so as to prevent light spots from being formed on the panel 11.

[0056] Meanwhile, the lighting assembly 3 can be provided to include a second baffle 3212. The size of the second baffle 3212 is larger than that of the light source member 31. The second baffle 3212 is disposed on a side of the light source member 31 away from the water level tube 22. The second baffle 3212 is made of an opaque material or a low-transparency material. The second baffle 3212 is used to block the light irradiated by the light source member 31 towards the side away from the water level tube 22, so as to prevent light spots from appearing on the rest of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] Through the above settings, the light dissipation of the light source member 31 can be reduced, the relative brightness of the water level tube 22 can be increased, which is beneficial for users to observe, and the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner 100 can be improved, thereby improving the user satisfaction.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 3 includes both the first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212 at the same time. The second baffle 3212 extends from an end of the first baffle 3211 away from the water level tube 22 towards a direction away from the panel 11, so that the first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212 are connected and a seal is formed at the connection.

[0059] For example, with reference to Figure 4 As shown, the lighting assembly 3 can be provided to include both the first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212 at the same time. The second baffle 3212 is disposed at an end of the first baffle 3211 away from the water level tube 22 and extends or obliquely extends towards a direction away from the panel 11. The first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212 are connected, so that the first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212 can be connected into a V-shaped plate with a certain angle. This angle can be a right angle, an obtuse angle, or an acute angle, and a seal is formed at the connection of the first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212. Through the above settings, the installation difficulty of the lighting assembly 3 can be reduced, and the light-shielding effect of the first baffle 3211 and the second baffle 3212 on the light source member 31 can be improved.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown, the light source member 31 may be configured as a strip shape, and the light source member 31 is arranged to extend along the length direction of the water level tube 22. The light source member 31 is configured to have a length dimension similar to or the same as the length dimension of the water level tube 22. Preferably, the length dimension of the light source member 31 may be set slightly smaller than the length dimension of the water level tube 22. Through the above arrangement, the light source member 31 can completely illuminate the water level tube 22, which is beneficial for users to observe. Moreover, when the dimension of the light source member 31 is slightly smaller than that of the water level tube 22, light leakage can be reduced, and the aesthetic degree of the air conditioner 100 is improved.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 3 includes: a bracket 32, the light source member 31 is installed on the bracket 32, and the bracket 32 is installed on the housing assembly 1 or the water tank assembly 2. For example, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 6 shown, the lighting assembly 3 includes a bracket 32, and the light source member 31 is adapted to be installed on the bracket 32 to be integrally connected with the bracket 32. The bracket 32 can be installed on the housing assembly 1 to install the light source member 31 on the housing assembly 1, or the bracket 32 can be installed on the water tank assembly 2 to install the light source member 31 on the water tank assembly 2. Through the above arrangement, the installation difficulty of the light source member 31 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the installation stability of the light source member 31 and enhancing the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the light source member 31 is in a strip shape, the bracket 32 includes a connecting portion 321 and mounting portions 322. The connecting portion 321 extends along the length direction of the light source member 31. There are two mounting portions 322 which are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting portion 321 in the length direction, and the two ends of the light source member 31 respectively correspond to and cooperate with the two mounting portions 322.

[0063] For example, referring to Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, the light source member 31 can be configured as a strip shape, and the light source member 31 is adapted to extend and be arranged vertically. The bracket 32 includes a connecting portion 321 and mounting portions 322. The connecting portion 321 extends along the length direction of the light source member 31. There are two mounting portions 322, and the two mounting portions 322 are respectively connected to the two ends of the connecting portion 321 in the length direction. The two ends of the light source member 31 in the length direction are respectively used to correspond to and cooperate with the two mounting portions 322, so that the two ends of the light source member 31 can be respectively fixed on the bracket 32. Thus, the installation stability of the light source member 31 can be improved.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, one of the two mounting portions 322 has a jack 3221 penetrating along the length direction of the light source member 31, and the other has a slot 3222 penetrating along the length direction. The slot 3222 is open on one side perpendicular to the length direction. One end of the light source member 31 in the length direction is inserted into the jack 3221, and the other end is snap-fitted into the slot 3222.

[0065] For example, referring to Figures 6-7 As shown, one of the two mounting portions 322 has a jack 3221 configured to penetrate along the length direction of the light source member 31. The jack 3221 is arranged to match one end of the light source member 31, and one end of the light source member 31 in the length direction is inserted into the jack 3221.

[0066] Meanwhile, a slot 3222 can be provided on the other of the two mounting portions 322. The slot 3222 penetrates along the length direction and is open on one side perpendicular to the length direction. For example, when the bracket 32 is mounted on the panel 11 of the housing assembly 1, the slot 3222 can be arranged to open in a direction away from the panel 11. The slot 3222 is arranged to match the other end of the light source member 31, and the other end of the light source member 31 in the length direction is adapted to be snap-fitted into the slot 3222.

[0067] It should be noted that the two ends of the light source member 31 can be provided with the same structure, or the two ends of the light source member 31 can be provided with different structures. The present application does not limit this.

[0068] In the specific installation process, first insert one end of the light source member 31 into the jack 3221, and then drive the other end of the light source member 31 to move towards the slot 3222 to snap the other end of the light source member 31 into the slot 3222, thus realizing the convenient installation of the light source member 31. Through the above arrangement, the installation difficulty of the light source member 31 can be reduced, and it is beneficial to improve the installation stability of the light source member 31, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, the inner side of the panel 11 has a connecting portion 321 and a fixing portion 111. One of the two mounting portions 322 is in plug-in fit with the plug-in portion 112, and the other is snap-fitted with the fixing portion 111 or connected by a fastener.

[0070] For example, referring to Figure 5As shown, the inner side of the panel 11 has a connecting portion 321 and a fixing portion 111. The connecting portion 321 and the fixing portion 111 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the light source member 31 (i.e., vertically). Among them, the connecting portion 321 can be configured as a slot structure so that one of the two mounting portions 322 can be inserted and matched with the connecting portion 321. At the same time, the fixing portion 111 can be configured as a boss structure, and a fixing hole is provided on the fixing portion 111. The other of the two mounting portions 322 is used to support on the fixing portion 111, so that the fastener can penetrate through the mounting portion 322 and extend into the fixing hole to connect the mounting portion 322 and the fixing portion 111; or, the fixing portion 111 can be configured as a slot structure that is open on one side in the direction perpendicular to the length direction of the light source member 31, so that the other of the two mounting portions 322 can be snap-connected to the fixing portion 111.

[0071] In the specific installation process, first insert and connect one mounting portion 322 with the connecting portion 321, then drive the other mounting portion 322 to move towards the direction close to the panel 11 to abut the other mounting portion 322 against the fixing portion 111, and then penetrate the fastener through the other mounting portion 322 to connect it with the fixing portion 111, and the installation of the bracket 32 can be completed.

[0072] Through the above settings, the bracket 32 is easy to disassemble and assemble, convenient for subsequent maintenance, and can improve the installation stability of the bracket 32, improving the reliability of the lighting assembly 3.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, the connecting portion 321 includes a first baffle 3211 and / or a second baffle 3212. The first baffle 3211 is provided between the panel 11 and the light source member 31, and the second baffle 3212 is provided on the side of the light source member 31 away from the water level pipe 22.

[0074] For example, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, the connecting portion 321 may be provided to include a first baffle 3211; alternatively, the connecting portion 321 may be provided to include a second baffle 3212; or, the connecting portion 321 may be provided to include a connected first baffle 3211 and second baffle 3212. The size of the first baffle 3211 is larger than the size of the light source member 31. The first baffle 3211 is disposed between the panel 11 and the light source member 31. The first baffle 3211 is made of an opaque material or a low-transparency material. The first baffle 3211 is used to block the light irradiated by the light source member 31 toward the panel 11, so as to prevent a light spot from being formed on the panel 11. The size of the second baffle 3212 is larger than the size of the light source member 31. The second baffle 3212 is disposed on the side of the light source member 31 away from the water level tube 22. The second baffle 3212 is made of an opaque material or a low-transparency material. The second baffle 3212 is used to block the light irradiated by the light source member 31 toward the side away from the water level tube 22, so as to prevent light spots from appearing on the rest of the air conditioner 100.

[0075] Through the above settings, the light dissipation of the light source member 31 can be reduced, the relative brightness of the water level tube 22 can be improved, which is beneficial for users to observe, and the overall aesthetics of the air conditioner 100 can be improved, thereby improving the user's satisfaction.

[0079] For example, referring to Figures 4-5As shown, the window 12 can be configured as a long strip, extending along the length direction of the water level tube 22 and opposite to the water level tube 22, so that users can observe the water level tube 22 through the window 12. Reinforcing ribs 114 are provided on the inner side of the panel 11. The reinforcing ribs 114 and the light source member 31 are respectively arranged on the two radial sides (i.e., the left and right sides) of the water level tube 22. The reinforcing ribs 114 are in the shape of long strips, extending along the length direction of the window 12 and used to reinforce the panel 11 to prevent the panel 11 from deforming. Preferably, the two ends of the reinforcing ribs 114 can protrude from the two ends of the window 12.

[0080] Through the above settings, the influence of opening the window 12 on the structural strength of the panel 11 can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the overall stability of the panel 11, thereby preventing the panel 11 from deforming and improving the quality of the air conditioner 100.

[0081] In some embodiments of the present invention, in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 4 , the window 12 can be configured as a through hole penetrating the panel 11, or the window 12 can be configured as a transparent member provided on a part of the panel 11. This application does not limit this. At the same time, a scale 13 can be provided on the outer surface of the panel 11. The scale 13 is located on the side of the window 12 and is used to mark the water level for users to observe. It should be noted that the scale 13 can be formed separately and then fixed on the panel 11, or can be integrally formed with the panel 11. And when the window 12 is a transparent member, scales can be directly marked on the outer surface of the window 12. Thus, it is beneficial to meet different working conditions.

[0082] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 4 and Figure 7 shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a float 6. The float 6 is a non-transparent member and is arranged in the water level tube 22. The float 6 is configured to have a density less than the density of water. For example, the float 6 can be configured as a plastic hollow member, so that the float 6 can always float on the water surface, so that users can determine the water level according to the position of the float 6. It should be noted that the float 6 can be set to an easily observable color such as red, yellow, black, etc., or can be made of a light-emitting material or a reflective material, or the color of the float 6 can be set to be the same as the color of the panel 11. This application does not limit this. Thus, the observation convenience of users can be improved and the satisfaction of users can be improved.

[0083] It should be noted that the float 6 can be configured into any structure such as a spherical shape, an oval shape, a cylindrical shape, etc. Preferably, the float 6 can be configured as a spherical shape.

[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 of the embodiments of the present invention includes a detection system and a control system. The detection system is capable of detecting the water level in the water tank 21. The control system is electrically connected to the detection system and the light source member 31 respectively, so that the light source member 31 is configured to be able to adjust the illumination color according to the water level detected by the detection system.

[0085] For example, it can be set that the air conditioner 100 includes a detection system and a control system. The detection system is capable of detecting the water level in the water tank 21. The control system includes a control module 9. The control module 9 is electrically connected to the detection system. The detection system can transmit the detected water level data to the control module 9, and the control module 9 is also electrically connected to the light source member 31, so that the light source member 31 is configured to be able to adjust the illumination color according to the water level detected by the detection system.

[0086] For example, the water level can be divided into a low range, a medium range, and a high range. When the detection system detects that the water level is in the low range, the control system can control the light source member 31 to emit red light, so that the water level tube 22 is displayed in red; when the detection system detects that the water level is in the medium range, the control system can control the light source member 31 to emit yellow light, so that the water level tube 22 is displayed in yellow; and when the detection system detects that the water level is in the high range, the control system can control the light source member 31 to emit blue light, so that the water level tube 22 is displayed in blue. The above embodiments are only exemplary and not a limitation to the present application. The water level can be divided into two ranges, or more ranges, and the present application does not limit this.

[0087] Through the above settings, the air conditioner 100 can automatically obtain the water level data and give a reminder to the user, so that the user can perform corresponding operations in time, improving the practicability of the air conditioner 100 and enhancing the user's satisfaction.

[0088] It should be noted that the detection system can be set to include a magnetic field detection device and a float 6. The magnetic field detection device is located outside the water level tube 22, and the float 6 is located inside the water level tube 22. A magnet is provided on the float 6, and the magnetic field detection device outputs a voltage signal in response to the magnet. When the water level in the water level tube 22 changes and drives the float 6 to move up and down, the voltage signal output by the magnetic field detection device changes accordingly. By analyzing the voltage signal, the position of the magnet can be obtained, and then the height of the liquid surface where the float 6 is located can be judged, that is, the water level data can be judged. It should be noted that the magnetic field detection device is a magnetic field sensor or a Hall sensor.

[0089] For example, the magnetic field detection device can be installed at the bottom of the water level tube 22. When the water level in the water tank 21 decreases, the height of the float 6 also decreases downward, the magnetic field intensity detected by the magnetic field detection device increases, and the voltage signal output by the magnetic field detection device changes accordingly. The control module 9 can determine the water level data according to the voltage signal.

[0090] Alternatively, a detection system may be provided to include a water level upper limit detection device including a light emitter and a light receiver. The light emitter and the light receiver are disposed on opposite sides of the water level pipe 22. The light emitter is configured to emit light toward the light receiver. When there is liquid between the light emitter and the light receiver, the light is refracted and the light receiver cannot receive the light, and the light receiver outputs an electrical signal. That is to say, at least one set of light emitter and light receiver may be respectively provided at different heights of the water level pipe 22, and the control module 9 can determine the water level data based on the received electrical signal.

[0091] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 of the embodiments of the present invention includes: a detection system and an alarm system. The detection system is capable of detecting whether the water level in the water tank 21 reaches the limit water level, and the limit water level includes the highest water level and / or the lowest water level; the alarm system is electrically connected to the detection system and is configured to issue an alarm signal when the detection system detects the limit water level.

[0092] For example, the air conditioner 100 includes a detection system and an alarm system. The detection system is capable of detecting the water level in the water tank 21 to determine whether the water level in the water tank 21 reaches the limit water level. The limit water level may include the highest water level, or may include the lowest water level, or may also include both the lowest water level and the highest water level. The alarm system is electrically connected to the detection system, and the alarm system is configured to issue an alarm signal when the detection system detects the limit water level.

[0093] It should be noted that the alarm signal may be a light, or a voice prompt, or a combination of a light and a voice prompt. The present application does not limit this. By way of example, when the highest water level is reached, a voice prompt of "The highest water level has been reached, please stop adding water" may be broadcast; alternatively, a buzzer may be activated to give a voice prompt.

[0094] Specifically, when the detection system detects that the water level in the water tank 21 reaches the lowest water level, the detection system may transmit a control instruction to the alarm system, and the alarm system may issue an alarm signal according to the control instruction to remind the user to add water; when the detection system detects that the water level in the water tank 21 reaches the highest water level, the detection system may transmit a control instruction to the alarm system, and the alarm system may issue an alarm signal according to the control instruction to remind the user to stop adding water. Among them, the alarm signals for the lowest water level and the highest water level may be set to be different or the same. The present application does not limit this.

[0095] Through the above settings, the user can be reminded so that the user can add water to the water tank 21 in a timely manner, and the situation of water overflow caused by excessive water addition can be avoided, improving the user's satisfaction.

[0096] In some embodiments of the present invention, the lighting assembly 3 includes a bracket 32. The bracket 32 includes two mounting portions 322. The light source member 31 is strip-shaped and the two ends of its length are respectively mounted on the two mounting portions 322. Both of the two mounting portions 322 are provided with mounting grooves 3223. The detection system includes a high water level detector 4, a low water level detector 5 and a float 6. The high water level detector 4 and the low water level detector 5 are respectively arranged in the two mounting grooves 3223. The float 6 is arranged in the water level pipe 22 and is used to trigger the high water level detector 4 and the low water level detector 5.

[0097] For example, with reference to Figures 6-7 As shown, the lighting assembly 3 includes a bracket 32. The bracket 32 is configured to be strip-shaped and extends vertically. The bracket 32 includes two mounting portions 322. The two mounting portions 322 are respectively located at the two ends of the bracket 32 along the length direction. Both of the two mounting portions 322 are provided with mounting grooves 3223. The mounting grooves 3223 are located on the side of the bracket 32 close to the water level pipe 22. The light source member 31 is configured to be strip-shaped and extends vertically. The two ends of the light source member 31 along the length direction are respectively mounted on the two mounting portions 322 to fix the light source member 31 on the bracket 32.

[0098] Among them, the detection system includes a high water level detector 4, a low water level detector 5 and a float 6. The high water level detector 4 and the low water level detector 5 are respectively arranged in the two mounting grooves 3223. And the high water level detector 4 is located in the higher one of the two mounting grooves 3223. The float 6 is arranged in the water level pipe 22 and is adapted to float on the water surface. The float 6 is used to trigger the high water level detector 4 and the low water level detector 5 so that the detection system can detect whether the water tank 21 reaches the highest water level or the lowest water level.

[0099] For example, a triggering element (such as a magnet) can be provided in the float 6. When the water level reaches the highest water level, the float 6 is opposite to the high water level detector 4, and the triggering element of the float 6 can trigger the high water level detector 4 so that the detection system can determine that the water level in the water tank 21 reaches the highest water level. When the water level reaches the lowest water level, the float 6 is opposite to the low water level detector 5, and the triggering element of the float 6 can trigger the low water level detector 5 so that the detection system can determine that the water level in the water tank 21 reaches the lowest water level.

[0100] Through the above settings, the detection system can be simplified, the detection accuracy of the detection system can be improved, and the practicability of the air conditioner 100 is improved.

[0101] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 of the embodiments of the present invention includes a water injection assembly 7. The water injection assembly 7 includes a water injection nozzle 71 and a water injection pipe 72. The two ends of the water injection pipe 72 are respectively communicated with the water tank 21 and the water injection nozzle 71. The housing assembly 1 has an avoidance opening 14. The water injection nozzle 71 is movable relative to the housing assembly 1 so as to be adapted to extend or retract through the avoidance opening 14 of the housing assembly 1.

[0102] For example, as shown in Figure 1 and Figures 8-10 The air conditioner 100 includes a water injection assembly 7. The water injection assembly 7 is arranged inside the housing assembly 1. The water injection assembly 7 includes a water injection nozzle 71 and a water injection pipe 72. The water injection nozzle 71 is configured in a funnel shape. The two ends of the water injection pipe 72 are respectively communicated with the water tank 21 and the water injection nozzle 71 so that the user can inject water into the water tank 21 through the water injection nozzle 71. The housing assembly 1 is provided with an avoidance opening 14. The water injection nozzle 71 is arranged to be movable relative to the housing assembly 1. The avoidance opening 14 is arranged in a matching manner with the water injection nozzle 71 so that the water injection nozzle 71 can extend or retract into the housing assembly 1 through the avoidance opening 14.

[0103] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 When water needs to be added to the water tank 21, the water injection nozzle 71 can be controlled to extend from the avoidance opening 14, and the water injection nozzle 71 is opened upward, so that the user can add water to the water tank 21 through the water injection nozzle 71; as shown in Figure 1 When the water injection into the water tank 21 is completed, the water injection nozzle 71 can be controlled to retract into the housing assembly 1 from the avoidance opening 14 to prevent foreign impurities from contaminating the water tank 21.

[0104] Through the above settings, it is possible to add water to the water tank 21 without disassembling the water tank 21, which improves the convenience of adding water and is conducive to improving user satisfaction.

[0105] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 9 The water tank assembly 2 further includes an exhaust pipe 24. The exhaust pipe 24 is arranged on the upper side of the water tank 21 and communicated with the water tank 21. When the user injects water into the water tank 21 through the water injection nozzle 71, the air in the water tank 21 can be discharged from the exhaust pipe 24 to ensure the smooth progress of the water injection process. It should be noted that the upper end of the exhaust pipe 24 is higher than the water injection nozzle 71, which can prevent the liquid in the water tank 21 from flowing out through the exhaust pipe 24. Thus, the design rationality of the air conditioner 100 is improved.

[0106] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 of the embodiments of the present invention includes: a fresh air component 8, the fresh air component 8 includes a fresh air fan 81, a purification component 82, and a humidification component 83.

The purification component 82 is located on the air inlet side 81a or the air outlet side of the fresh air fan 81 and is located upstream of the humidification component 83.

[0107] For example, referring to Figure 11 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a fresh air component 8. The fresh air component 8 is provided with an air duct. The fresh air component 8 includes a fresh air fan 81. The fresh air fan 81 is installed in the air duct. The fresh air fan 81 is used to suck air from the air inlet side 81a and blow it out from the air outlet side to form an air flow.

[0108] Among them, the fresh air component 8 further includes a humidification component 83 and a purification component 82. Both the humidification component 83 and the purification component 82 are installed in the air duct. The humidification component 83 is located on the air outlet side of the fresh air fan 81. The water tank component 2 cooperates with the humidification component 83. The water tank component 2 is used to supply water to the humidification component 83 through the water tank 23, so that the humidification component 83 can humidify the air flow blown out by the fresh air fan 81. The humidified air flow can flow into the room to humidify the room. The purification component 82 is located upstream of the humidification component 83. The purification component 82 can purify the air flow flowing to the humidification component 83 to protect the humidification component 83 from being polluted.

[0109] It should be noted that the purification component 82 can be installed on the air outlet side of the fresh air fan 81 to improve the protection effect on the humidification component 83; or the purification component 82 can be installed on the air inlet side 81a of the fresh air fan 81 so that the purification component 82 can purify the air flow flowing to the fresh air fan 81.

[0110] Through the above settings, the humidification component 83 can be protected, reducing the probability of bacteria breeding and impurity precipitation on the humidification component 83, which is beneficial to protecting the health of users and improving the practicability of the air conditioner 100.
