Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioning, and particularly relates to an air conditioner device with a humidifier and a method for adjusting the position of the humidifier. Background Art

[0002] With the development of technology, more and more functions are added to air conditioning equipment nowadays. However, limited by the structural design, some components can only be installed in places that are relatively difficult to reach on weekdays, such as the air conditioner humidifier. This is not conducive to the later maintenance personnel for inspection and repair. Specifically, since the installation position of the electrical box needs to be in front of the equipment for the convenience of the staff to wire or inspect, this results in the humidifier can only be installed at the rear position of the equipment, generally set in the back area of the equipment. When the humidifier is damaged, it is difficult for the maintenance personnel to contact and observe the humidifier from the front of the equipment, resulting in the need to remove the back panel of the equipment for inspection and repair during maintenance, increasing the maintenance difficulty and time. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Therefore, the present invention provides an air conditioner device with a humidifier and a method for adjusting the position of the humidifier, which can overcome the technical problems of large maintenance difficulty and long repair time-consuming in the related art where the humidifier is arranged in the back area of the air conditioner device.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides an air conditioner device with a humidifier, including a device main body, the device main body having a front side facing the user and a back side facing away from the user. The air conditioner device further includes a humidifier and a displacement driving mechanism. The humidifier is assembled in the internal space of the device main body in a region close to the back side, and the displacement driving mechanism is used to drive the humidifier to move from the region in the internal space close to the back side to the region in the internal space close to the front side.

[0005] In some embodiments, the humidifier is fixedly connected to the middle region of a humidifier support rod. The displacement driving mechanism includes an upper driving mechanism and a lower driving mechanism. The upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are respectively used to drive the top end and the bottom end of the humidifier support rod to move linearly along a preset direction; and / or, the displacement driving mechanism is further used to drive the humidifier to move from the region in the internal space close to the front side to the region in the internal space close to the back side.

[0006] In some embodiments, the upper driving mechanism includes a first rotary motor, a first transmission belt, a driving swing rod, and a driven swing rod. Among them, the first transmission belt is tensioned between the first end of the driving swing rod and the first output pulley of the first rotary motor. The second end of the driving swing rod is hinged to the first end of the driven swing rod. The second end of the driven swing rod is rotatably sleeved on the top end of the humidifier support rod; and / or, the lower driving mechanism includes a second rotary motor, a second transmission belt, a slide rail, and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail. The slider is rotatably sleeved on the bottom end of the humidifier support rod, and the second transmission belt is tensioned between a tension pulley and the second output pulley of the second rotary motor, and the slider is fixedly connected to the second transmission belt.

[0007] In some embodiments, the upper driving mechanism further includes a top guide member, and a first chute is formed on the top guide member. The top end of the humidifier support rod is slidably connected in the first chute.

[0008] In some embodiments, an angle sensor is provided at the first end of the driving swing rod for detecting the real-time rotation angle of the driving swing rod; and / or, a position sensor is provided on the slide rail for detecting the real-time position of the slider.

[0009] In some embodiments, the air-conditioning device further includes a humidifier deflection mechanism. The humidifier deflection mechanism includes a deflection link and a deflection guide member. The first end of the deflection link is fixedly connected to the humidifier support rod. A second chute is formed on the deflection guide member. The extending direction of the second chute is spaced and parallel to the sliding guide direction of the slide rail. The second end of the deflection link is rotatably slidably connected in the second chute. The extending length of the second chute is less than the total linear displacement length of the humidifier on the slide rail, and both ends of the length of the second chute are within the interval of the total linear displacement length.

[0010] In some embodiments, inner grooves are provided at both ends of the length of the second chute so that when the second end of the deflection link is in the inner groove, the deflection link can deflect a preset angle with the inner groove as a fulcrum.

[0011] In some embodiments, the preset angle is 90°; and / or, a pulley is sleeved on the second end of the deflection link, and the second end of the deflection link is rotatably slidably connected in the second chute through the pulley.

[0012] In some embodiments, the humidifier has a mist outlet hose connected to its mist outlet. The air conditioner device further includes a hose connection mechanism disposed within the internal space. The hose connection mechanism is capable of driving the mist outlet hose to move closer to or away from the mist outlet to disconnect or connect the mist outlet hose from the mist outlet.

[0013] In some embodiments, the hose connection mechanism includes a ball screw assembly and a fixing bracket fixedly connected to the moving nut of the ball screw assembly. The mist outlet hose is connected to the fixing bracket.

[0014] In some embodiments, the fixing bracket includes a fixing ring capable of matching the size of the mist outlet; and / or, a pressure sensor is provided on the fixing bracket for detecting the pressure during the process of inserting the mist outlet hose onto the mist outlet.

[0015] The present invention also provides a method for adjusting the position of a humidifier of an air conditioner device having a humidifier as described above, including the following steps:

[0016] Obtain an operation instruction;

[0017] When the operation instruction is a humidifier maintenance instruction, control the displacement driving mechanism to operate so that the humidifier moves from the back side area of the device main body to the front side area of the device main body; or,

[0018] When the operation instruction is a humidifier reset instruction, control the displacement driving mechanism to operate so that the humidifier moves from the front side area of the device main body to the back side area of the device main body.

[0019] In some embodiments, when the air conditioner device includes a hose connection mechanism and the operation instruction is a humidifier maintenance instruction, before controlling the displacement driving mechanism to operate, control the hose connection mechanism to operate so that the mist outlet hose is disconnected from the mist outlet of the humidifier; or,

[0020] When the air conditioner device includes a hose connection mechanism and the operation instruction is a humidifier reset instruction, after controlling the displacement driving mechanism to operate and the humidifier is reset to the initial position, control the hose connection mechanism to operate so that the mist outlet hose is assembled onto the mist outlet of the humidifier.

[0021] In some embodiments, during the operation of the displacement driving mechanism, the real-time rotation angle of the active swing rod and the real-time position of the slider are detected in real time, and based on the real-time rotation angle and real-time position, the top and bottom ends of the humidifier support rod are controlled to move linearly synchronously.

[0022] The air conditioner device with a humidifier and the humidifier position adjustment method provided by the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0023] When it is necessary to repair the humidifier, control the displacement driving mechanism to operate so that the humidifier in the dorsal area moves to the front area of the internal space, facilitating the repair of the humidifier by the repair personnel, thereby reducing the difficulty of repairing the humidifier and saving repair time. When the repair is completed or there is no need for repair, control the displacement driving mechanism to move the humidifier in the front area to the dorsal area of the internal space, making the use of the internal space of the air conditioner device more reasonable without affecting the loading and unloading and repair of the electrical box;

[0024] The upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are used to form synchronous linear displacement driving at both ends of the humidifier support rod, which can ensure the reliable stability of the position change of the humidifier and prevent the phenomena of insufficient driving power and unstable movement due to tilting caused by the excessive length of the humidifier support rod or the excessive volume and weight of the humidifier;

[0025] Through the linkage mode of the active swing rod and the driven swing rod, while effectively driving the displacement of the top end of the humidifier support rod, it will not form a large-area blockage of the top area of the internal space, ensuring the visibility of the top area of the internal space and facilitating the repair of other components in this area of the internal space;

[0026] When driving the linear displacement of the bottom end of the humidifier support rod in a sliding connection and cooperation mode of a slider and a slide rail, it can also form a reliable support for the humidifier support rod and the humidifier assembled thereon, thereby effectively improving the stability and reliability of the humidifier during the process of position movement and change;

[0027] By setting a second chute spaced parallel to the length extension direction of the slide rail, and the length of the second annular groove is shorter than the total linear displacement length of the humidifier, the purpose of flipping the humidifier at the end position of the second chute can be realized by using the difference in their lengths. There is no need to separately set a flipping driving mechanism for the humidifier, but only rely on the positional relationship between the aforementioned second chute and the slide rail, which can greatly simplify the structural design and reduce the manufacturing cost;

[0028] By respectively arranging inner grooves extending away from the slide rail side at both ends of the length of the second chute, the purpose of deflection can be realized during the linear displacement adjustment of the humidifier by using a deflection link with a fixed length, which can further simplify the structural design and reduce the cost;

[0029] By setting up a hose connection mechanism, the connection and disconnection of the mist outlet hose connected to the humidifier can be achieved, avoiding the damage caused by pulling the aforementioned mist outlet hose during the movement of the humidifier. Through this design, not only the stable movement of the humidifier is ensured, but also the connected mist outlet hose is effectively protected, avoiding the possible damage to the mist outlet hose during the movement of the humidifier, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the device.

Detailed implementation mode

[0041] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. The following description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention and its application or use. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the orientation or positional relationship indicated by orientation words such as "front, rear, upper, lower, left, right", "lateral, vertical, perpendicular, horizontal" and "top, bottom" is usually based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Without contrary description, these orientation words do not indicate and imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention; the orientation words "inner, outer" refer to the inside and outside relative to the contour of each component itself.

[0043] For the convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above...", "above...", "on the upper surface of...", "above" can be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature shown in the figure and other devices or features. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure for the device. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will then be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "beneath other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above..." can include both the orientation of "above..." and "below...". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90° or in other orientations), and corresponding interpretations should be made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.

[0044] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. Without additional statements, the above terms have no special meaning, so it should not be construed as a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention.

[0045] With reference to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an air conditioning device with a humidifier, such as a computer room air conditioner, including a device main body 1. The device main body 1 has a front side facing the user and a back side facing away from the user. It can be understood that the aforementioned device main body 1 specifically includes a main body frame and a housing on the outer peripheral wall of the main body frame that can at least partially seal the internal space of the device main body 1. The housing may specifically include an openable door body on the corresponding side of the device main body 1. The air conditioning device further includes a humidifier 2 and a displacement driving mechanism (not labeled in the figure). The humidifier 2 is assembled in the area of the internal space of the device main body 1 close to the back side. Specifically, with reference to Figure 1 shown, taking Figure 1 the shown orientation as a reference, the internal space of the device main body 1 is divided into multiple areas, such as a left area and a right area. Among them, a heat exchanger 71 and a corresponding fan assembly (not shown in the figure) are provided in the right area, and an electrical box 72, the aforementioned humidifier 2, and other components not shown are assembled in the left area. More specifically, for the rational use of space, the humidifier 2 is arranged in the back area of the aforementioned left area, that is, the aforementioned humidifier 2 is in the back area of the internal space of the device main body 1 in the specific use state. The displacement driving mechanism is used to drive the humidifier 2 to move from the area of the internal space close to the back side to the area of the internal space close to the front side. Specifically, when it is necessary to repair (inspect and maintain) the humidifier 2, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate so that the humidifier 2 in the back area moves to the front area of the internal space, realizing convenient maintenance for the maintenance personnel of the humidifier 2. When the maintenance is completed or there is no need for maintenance, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to move the humidifier 2 in the front area to the back area of the internal space, making the use of the internal space of the air conditioning device more reasonable.

[0046] In this technical solution, when the humidifier 2 needs to be repaired, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate so that the humidifier 2 in the dorsal area moves to the front area of the internal space, facilitating the repair personnel to conveniently repair the humidifier 2, thereby reducing the repair difficulty of the humidifier 2 and saving repair time. When the repair is completed or no repair is needed, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to move the humidifier 2 in the front area to the dorsal area of the internal space, making the use of the internal space of the air conditioning device more reasonable without affecting the loading and unloading and repair of the electrical box 72. It should be noted that in the normal state, the repair space of the electrical box 72 is the front internal space of the aforementioned humidifier 2 (in the use state), that is, the repair side of the aforementioned electrical box 72 is Figure 1 the right side of the electrical box 72 described above.

[0047] In some embodiments, the humidifier 2 is fixedly connected to the middle area of the humidifier support rod 21 so as to Figure 1 Taking the shown orientation as a reference, the displacement driving mechanism includes an upper driving mechanism (not labeled in the figure) and a lower driving mechanism (not labeled in the figure). The upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are respectively used to drive the top and bottom ends of the humidifier support rod 21 to linearly move along a preset direction (such as the horizontal direction). It should be noted that the aforementioned upper and lower, top and bottom are described based on the shown orientation for the convenience of expression. In other embodiments, they can also be the left and right parts, which can be determined specifically according to the setting state (vertical or horizontal) of the aforementioned humidifier support rod 21. See specifically Figure 1 as shown. A fixing plate 23 is fixedly connected (in a detachable connection manner) to the back of the humidifier 2. One side of the fixing plate 23 facing away from the humidifier 2 has a pipe hoop 24 matching the shape of the humidifier support rod 21, thereby realizing the detachable fixed connection between the humidifier 2 and the humidifier support rod 21. Figure 4 In this technical solution, the upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are used to form a synchronous linear displacement drive for both ends of the humidifier support rod 21, which can ensure the reliable stability of the position change of the humidifier 2 and prevent the occurrence of phenomena such as insufficient driving power and tilting instability during movement due to the excessive length of the humidifier support rod 21 or the excessive volume and weight of the humidifier 2. That is, the synchronous drive method for both ends of the humidifier support rod 21 in this technical solution is particularly applicable to the case where the length of the humidifier support rod 21 is relatively large.

[0048] In some embodiment sets, the displacement driving mechanism is also used to drive the humidifier 2 to move from the area near the front side of the internal space to the area near the dorsal side of the internal space, further improving the repair efficiency.

[0049]

[0050] ​In a specific embodiment, the upper driving mechanism includes a first rotary motor 31, a first transmission belt 32, a driving swing rod 33 and a driven swing rod 34. Among them, the first transmission belt 32 is tensioned between the first end of the driving swing rod 33 and the first output pulley of the first rotary motor 31. The second end of the driving swing rod 33 is hinged to the first end of the driven swing rod 34. The second end of the driven swing rod 34 is rotatably sleeved (specifically, it can be realized by corresponding bearings) on the top end of the humidifier support rod 21. Specifically, a gear part is provided at the first end of the aforementioned driving swing rod 33 or a corresponding gear (such as a pulley) is connected thereto. The first rotary motor 31 and the first end of the driving swing rod 33 can be specifically installed on the device main body 1. Of course, the first end of the driving swing rod 33 should also be rotatably connected to the device main body 1. When the first rotary motor 31 drives the first output pulley to rotate, the first transmission belt 32 will drive the driving swing rod 33 to rotate. The second end of the driving swing rod 33 will then drive the driven swing rod 34 to swing, and the swinging driven swing rod 34 will drive the humidifier support rod 21 to displace.

[0051] In this technical solution, through the linkage mode of the driving swing rod 33 and the driven swing rod 34, while effectively driving the displacement of the top end of the humidifier support rod 21, it will not form a large-area blockage of the top area of the internal space, ensuring the visibility of the internal space in the top area and facilitating the maintenance of other components in this area of the internal space.

[0052] The lower driving mechanism includes a second rotary motor 41, a second transmission belt (not shown and not indexed in the figure), a slide rail 42 and a slider 43 slidably connected to the slide rail 42. The slider 43 is rotatably sleeved (such as through a bearing) on the bottom end of the humidifier support rod 21. And the second transmission belt is tensioned between a tension pulley (not shown and not indexed in the figure) and the second output pulley (not indexed and not shown in the figure) of the second rotary motor 41. And the slider 43 is fixedly connected to the second transmission belt. The aforementioned tension pulley is rotatably connected to the slide rail 42, for example. The second rotary motor 41 is also fixedly connected to the aforementioned slide rail 42. The aforementioned slide rail 42 is specifically fixedly connected to the aforementioned device main body 1.

[0053] In this technical solution, while driving the linear displacement of the bottom end of the humidifier support rod 21 in a manner of the sliding connection and cooperation between the slider 43 and the slide rail 42, it can also form a reliable support for the humidifier support rod 21 and the humidifier 2 assembled thereon, thereby effectively improving the stability and reliability of the humidifier 2 during the process of position movement and change.

[0054] In order to further improve the smooth reliability of the position adjustment of the humidifier 2, the upper driving mechanism further includes a top guide member 35. A first sliding groove 351 is formed on the top guide member 35. The top end of the humidifier support rod 21 is slidably connected to the first sliding groove 351. It can be understood that the length extension direction of the first sliding groove 351 is the same as the sliding guide direction of the slide rail 42, and they are adapted to each other in the guiding length. The aforementioned top guide member 35 may specifically be a plate structure. In a preferred embodiment, a travel switch 352 is arranged in the first sliding groove 351 to be able to limit the linear displacement travel of the humidifier 2. It can be understood that when the humidifier support rod 21 moves into contact with the corresponding travel switch 352, the corresponding control component can issue an instruction to control the upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism to stop driving the displacement further.

[0055] To ensure the displacement synchronization at the upper and lower ends of the humidifier 2, in some embodiments, an angle sensor 331 is provided at the first end of the active swing rod 33 for detecting the real-time rotation angle of the active swing rod 33, and a position sensor 421 is provided on the slide rail 42 for detecting the real-time position of the slider 43. In this way, the first rotary motor 31 and the second rotary motor 32 can be controlled based on the aforementioned real-time rotation angle and real-time position signals to ensure that the displacements actually driven by the two different drive mechanisms are consistent. More importantly, since the aforementioned displacement drive mechanism will inevitably wear after long-term use, which increases the fitting clearance between components. At this time, the aforementioned position sensor 421 and angle sensor 331 can ensure the precise synchronization of the displacement. It can be understood that the control of the aforementioned first rotary motor 31 and second rotary motor 41 can adopt PID control to achieve real-time adaptive control of the displacement. Through PID control, the system (i.e., the control system of the control component) adjusts the operating states of the first rotary motor 31 and the second rotary motor 41 according to the real-time feedback data (i.e., the aforementioned real-time rotation angle and real-time position) to ensure the stable and precise movement of the humidifier 2. Specifically, the aforementioned purpose can be achieved by using a PID controller. The aforementioned PID controller consists of three parts: proportional (P), integral (I), and derivative (D). The proportional term adjusts the driving force of the motor according to the current position error (i.e., the gap between the current position of the humidifier and the target position) to ensure that the humidifier can move towards the target position; the integral term eliminates the static error caused by long-term deviation by accumulating the error, so that the system maintains high-precision movement; the derivative term predicts the movement trend of the humidifier according to the error change rate (i.e., how fast the error changes) and makes corrections in advance to prevent the humidifier from overshooting or vibrating when approaching the target position. Through the coordinated work of proportional, integral, and derivative, the PID controller can adjust the motor speed and direction in real time to ensure that the humidifier always moves smoothly along the predetermined trajectory. When the humidifier reaches the target position, the PID controller will automatically reduce the motor output to avoid excessive movement. During the reset process of the humidifier, the controller synchronously adjusts the movement of the motor to ensure that the humidifier returns to its original position smoothly and precisely completes the connection of the hose, ensuring the stable operation of the system and the safety of the equipment.

[0056] For details, see Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the air-conditioning device further includes a humidifier deflection mechanism (not marked in the figure), the humidifier deflection mechanism includes a deflection link 51 and a deflection guide 52, the first end of the deflection link 51 is fixedly connected to the humidifier support rod 21, and a second slide groove 521 is formed on the deflection guide 52, the extension direction of the second slide groove 521 is parallel to the sliding guide direction of the slide rail 42, and the second end of the deflection link 51 is rotatably slidably connected to the second slide groove 521, the extension length of the second slide groove 521 is less than the total linear displacement length of the humidifier on the slide rail 42, and both ends of the length of the second slide groove 521 are within the range of the total linear displacement length, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the entire length of the second slide groove 521 is covered by the length of the slide rail 42 .

[0057] In this technical solution, by setting a second slide groove 521 that is parallel to the length extension direction of the slide rail 42, and the length of the second annular groove 521 is shorter than the total linear displacement length of the humidifier, the difference in length between the two can be used to achieve the purpose of flipping the humidifier 2 at the end position of the second slide groove 521. There is no need to set a flipping drive mechanism separately for the humidifier 2, and it can be achieved only by relying on the positional relationship between the second slide groove 521 and the slide rail 42, which can greatly simplify the structural design and reduce manufacturing costs.

[0058] In a feasible embodiment, the second slide groove 521 can be a straight slide groove (i.e., a straight groove). At this time, in order to achieve automatic flipping during the push-pull position adjustment process of the humidifier 2, the aforementioned deflection link 51 should be a component with a displacement compensation function. For example, the aforementioned deflection link 51 can be extended and retracted following the position adjustment of the humidifier 2 to prevent the deflection link 51 with a constant length from getting stuck. As a better implementation method, the second slide groove 521 has inner grooves 522 extending along one side away from the slide rail 42 at both ends of its length so that when the second end of the deflection link 51 is in the inner groove 522, the deflection link 51 can deflect a preset angle with the inner groove 522 as a fulcrum.

[0059] In this technical solution, by respectively arranging inner grooves 522 at both length ends of the second sliding groove 521, the purpose of deflection can be achieved during the linear displacement adjustment of the humidifier 2 by using a deflection link 51 with a fixed length, which can further simplify the structural design and reduce costs. In a specific embodiment, the aforementioned inner groove 522 is a groove extending away from the side of the slide rail 42. It can be understood that according to different preset angle sizes, the recess depth of the inner groove 522 should match the length of the deflection link 51. In one implementation manner, the preset angle is 90°, so that after the humidifier 2 is adjusted to the front side area position of the internal space, its side hidden on the back can be flipped to a relatively exposed area, facilitating a comprehensive overhaul of the humidifier 2. At this time, the recess depth of the aforementioned inner groove 522 should not be less than the length of the deflection link 51 to ensure that it will not get stuck during the deflection process of the humidifier 2.

[0060] To ensure the smooth realization of the offset of the humidifier 2, a pulley 511 is sleeved on the second end of the deflection link 51, and the second end of the deflection link 51 is rotatably and slidably connected to the second sliding groove 521 through the pulley 511.

[0061] In some implementation manners, the humidifier 2 has a mist outlet hose 22 connected to its mist outlet. The outlet of the mist outlet hose 22 is arranged in the air duct of the fan assembly of the air-conditioning device in the actual use state. The air-conditioning device further includes a hose connection mechanism (not labeled in the figure) arranged in the internal space. The hose connection mechanism can drive the mist outlet hose 22 to move closer to or away from the mist outlet to realize the connection and disconnection of the mist outlet hose 22 from the mist outlet. Specifically, the aforementioned mist outlet hose 22 should be disconnected from its mist outlet during the movement or overhaul of the humidifier 2, and should be hermetically connected to the mist outlet before the humidifier 2 is overhauled and restored to its original position and ready to be put into use. In a specific embodiment, the aforementioned hose connection mechanism forms a connection or disconnection with the mist outlet in a plug-and-play manner.

[0062] In this technical solution, by setting the hose connection mechanism to realize the connection and disconnection of the mist outlet hose 22 connected to the humidifier 2, it is avoided to pull the aforementioned mist outlet hose 22 during the movement of the humidifier, causing damage. Through this design, not only the stable movement of the humidifier is ensured, but also the connected mist outlet hose 22 is effectively protected, avoiding possible damage to the mist outlet hose 22 during the movement of the humidifier 2, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, the hose connection mechanism includes a ball screw assembly 61 and a fixing bracket 62 fixedly connected to a moving nut (not labeled in the figure) of the ball screw assembly 61. The mist outlet hose 22 is connected to the fixing bracket 62. It can be understood that the aforementioned ball screw assembly 61, as a conventional component in the industry, includes a screw rod and a moving nut threadedly connected to the screw rod. The moving nut is slidably connected in cooperation with a corresponding anti-rotation mechanism, and one end of the screw rod is connected to a corresponding drive motor.

[0064] In this technical solution, the ball screw assembly 61 is used to linearly drive the mist outlet hose 22, which can ensure the accuracy of the relative position between the mist outlet hose 22 and the mist outlet, and at the same time meet the requirement of the relatively large force required for the plugging and unplugging actions.

[0065] In some embodiments, the fixing bracket 62 includes a fixing ring 621 that can match the size of the mist outlet. When the mist outlet hose 22 is inserted into the mist outlet, the fixing ring 621 can surround the mating position of the two to ensure the sealing performance of their connection. It can be understood that the inner diameter of the fixing ring 621 should be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the upper pipe orifice of the mist outlet.

[0066] A pressure sensor (not shown and not labeled in the figure) is provided on the fixing bracket 62 for detecting the pressure during the process of inserting the mist outlet hose 22 onto the mist outlet. The aforementioned pressure sensor detects the pressure exerted on the fixing ring 621 and the ball screw assembly 61. While ensuring the sealed connection between the humidifier 2 and the mist outlet hose 22 to prevent leakage, it also avoids faults caused by excessive pressure due to improper connection (such as damage caused by excessive alignment accuracy due to excessive deviation of the pressure position and then excessive insertion pressure).

[0067] According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is also provided a method for adjusting the position of a humidifier of an air conditioner device with a humidifier as described above, including the following steps:

[0068] Obtain an operation instruction;

[0069] When the operation instruction is a humidifier maintenance instruction, control the displacement drive mechanism to operate so that the humidifier 2 moves from the back side area of the device main body 1 to the front side area of the device main body 1; or, when the operation instruction is a humidifier reset instruction, control the displacement drive mechanism to operate so that the humidifier 2 moves from the front side area of the device main body 1 to the back side area of the device main body 1. It can be understood that when the air conditioner device includes a humidifier deflection mechanism, the humidifier 2 will be flipped by a preset angle and flipped back during the linear movement of the humidifier 2.

[0070] In this technical solution, when it is necessary to repair the humidifier 2, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate so that the humidifier 2 in the dorsal area is moved to the front area of the internal space, facilitating the convenient repair of the humidifier 2 by the repair personnel. When the repair is completed or there is no need for repair, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to move the humidifier 2 in the front area to the dorsal area of the internal space, making the use of the internal space of the air conditioner device more reasonable without affecting the loading and unloading and repair of the electrical box 72.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the air conditioner device includes a hose connection mechanism and the operation instruction is a humidifier repair instruction, before controlling the displacement driving mechanism to operate, the hose connection mechanism is controlled to operate so that the mist outlet hose 22 is disconnected from the mist outlet of the humidifier 2; or, when the air conditioner device includes a hose connection mechanism and the operation instruction is a humidifier reset instruction, after controlling the displacement driving mechanism to operate and the humidifier 2 is reset to the initial position, the hose connection mechanism is controlled to operate so that the mist outlet hose 22 is assembled on the mist outlet of the humidifier 2. In this way, it is possible to avoid pulling the aforementioned mist outlet hose 22 during the movement of the humidifier, causing damage. Through this design, not only is the stable movement of the humidifier ensured, but also the connected mist outlet hose 22 is effectively protected, avoiding possible damage to the mist outlet hose 22 during the movement of the humidifier 2, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0072] In some embodiments, during the operation of the displacement driving mechanism, the real-time rotation angle of the active swing rod 33 and the real-time position of the slider 43 are detected in real time, and based on the real-time rotation angle and real-time position, the top and bottom of the humidifier support rod 21 are controlled to move linearly synchronously. During the reset process of the humidifier, the controller ensures the smooth return of the humidifier to its original position by synchronously adjusting the movement of the motor and accurately completes the connection of the hose, ensuring the stable operation of the system and the safety of the equipment.

[0073] It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that, on the premise of no conflict, the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned various methods can be freely combined and superimposed.

[0074] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention. The above is only the preferred implementation manner of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present invention, several improvements and modifications can still be made, and these improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
