[0044] In addition, it should be noted that the use of the terms "first", "second" and the like is merely intended to distinguish between similar objects, and does not have a special meaning, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the scope of protection of the present application.

[0045] With reference to Figures 1 to 7 As shown, according to the embodiment of the present application, a kind of air conditioning device with humidifier, for example, a computer room air conditioner, comprising device main body 1, the device main body 1 has the front side to user and the back side away from user, it can be understood that the aforementioned device main body 1 specifically includes main body frame and the outer wall on the main body frame to form at least partial sealing to the internal space of the device main body 1 The shell can specifically include the door body that can be opened and closed at the corresponding side of the device main body 1, the air conditioning device further includes humidifier 2 and displacement driving mechanism (not marked in the figure), the humidifier 2 is assembled in the internal space of the device main body 1 close to the region of back side, specifically refer to Figure 1 As shown, with Figure 1 With the orientation as reference, the internal space of the device main body 1 is divided into multiple regions, for example, left side area and right side area, wherein heat exchanger 71 and corresponding fan assembly (not shown in the figure) are arranged in right side area, and electrical appliance box 72, the aforementioned humidifier 2 and other components not shown are assembled in left side area, more specifically, in order to the rationality of space, the aforementioned humidifier 2 is arranged in the back side region of the left side area, that is, the aforementioned humidifier 2 is in the back side region 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 from the region close to the back side of the internal space to the region close to the front side of the internal space, specifically, when the humidifier 2 needs to be overhauled (inspection, repair), control the displacement driving mechanism to operate to make the humidifier 2 in the back side region move to the front side region of the internal space, realize the convenient overhaul of the humidifier 2 by the convenient overhaul personnel, and when overhauling is completed or no need to overhaul, control the displacement driving mechanism to move the humidifier 2 in the front side region to the back side region of the internal space, so that the internal space of the air conditioning device is used more reasonably.

[0046] The technical scheme has the advantages that when the humidifier 2 needs to be overhauled, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate to move the humidifier 2 in the back region to the front region of the internal space, so that the humidifier 2 is conveniently overhauled by the maintenance personnel, thereby reducing the difficulty of overhauling the humidifier 2 and saving the overhauling time, and when the overhauling is completed or no overhauling is needed, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to move the humidifier 2 in the front region to the back region of the internal space, so that the internal space of the air conditioner device is used more reasonably, and the dismounting and overhauling of the electric appliance box 72 are not affected. It should be noted that in the normal state, the overhauling space of the electric appliance box 72 is the front internal space of the humidifier 2 (in the use state), that is, the overhauling side of the electric appliance box 72 is the front side of the humidifier 2 (in the use state), and the overhauling side of the electric appliance box 72 is the back side of the humidifier 2 (in the use state). Figure 1 The right side of the electric appliance box 72.

[0047] In some embodiments, the humidifier 2 is fixedly connected to the middle region of the humidifier support rod 21, so that the humidifier 2 is in the front region of the internal space of the air conditioner device in the use state. Figure 1 In the orientation shown as a reference, the displacement driving mechanism includes an upper driving mechanism (not marked in the figure) and a lower driving mechanism (not marked in the figure), and 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 21 to move linearly along a preset direction (for example, a horizontal direction). It should be noted that the upper and lower parts and the top end and the bottom end are described based on convenient expression and in the orientation shown as a reference, and in other embodiments, they can also be left and right parts, which are determined according to the setting state (vertical or horizontal) of the humidifier support rod 21. For details, see Figure 1 In the orientation shown as a reference, the displacement driving mechanism includes an upper driving mechanism (not marked in the figure) and a lower driving mechanism (not marked in the figure), and 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 21 to move linearly along a preset direction (for example, a horizontal direction). It should be noted that the upper and lower parts and the top end and the bottom end are described based on convenient expression and in the orientation shown as a reference, and in other embodiments, they can also be left and right parts, which are determined according to the setting state (vertical or horizontal) of the humidifier support rod 21. For details, see Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the back surface of the humidifier 2 is fixedly connected (in a detachable connection mode) with a fixed plate 23, and the side of the fixed plate 23 away from the humidifier 2 is provided with a pipe clamp 24 matched with the shape of the humidifier support rod 21, so as to realize detachable fixed connection between the humidifier 2 and the humidifier support rod 21.

[0048] In the technical scheme, the upper driving mechanism and the lower driving mechanism are used to synchronously drive the two ends of the humidifier support rod 21 to move linearly, which can ensure the reliable stability of the position change of the humidifier 2 and prevent the phenomenon of insufficient driving power and moving instability 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 driving mode of the two ends of the humidifier support rod 21 in the technical scheme is especially suitable for the case that the length of the humidifier support rod 21 is relatively large.

[0049] In some embodiments, the displacement driving mechanism is also used to drive the humidifier 2 to move from the region close to the front side of the internal space to the region close to the back side of the internal space, thereby further improving the overhauling efficiency.

[0050] In a specific embodiment, the upper driving mechanism comprises a first rotary motor 31, a first transmission belt 32, a driving swing rod 33 and a driven swing rod 34, wherein the first transmission belt 32 is tensioned between a first end of the driving swing rod 33 and a first output pulley of the first rotary motor 31, a second end of the driving swing rod 33 is hingedly connected with a first end of the driven swing rod 34, and a second end of the driven swing rod 34 is rotatably (specifically through a corresponding bearing) sleeved on a top end of the humidifier support rod 21. The first end of the driving swing rod 33 is specifically provided with a gear portion or connected with a corresponding gear (e.g. a pulley). The first rotary motor 31 and the first end of the driving swing rod 33 are specifically mounted on the device main body 1. Of course, the first end of the driving swing rod 33 should also be rotationally connected with 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, and the second end of the driving swing rod 33 will in turn 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 the technical solution, through the linkage mode of the driving swing rod 33 and the driven swing rod 34, the top end of the humidifier support rod 21 is effectively displaced and driven without forming a large area of shielding on the top area of the internal space, the visibility of the internal space in the top area is ensured, and the maintenance of other components in the region of the internal space is facilitated.

[0052] The lower driving mechanism comprises a second rotary motor 41, a second transmission belt (not shown in the figure, not referenced), a slide rail 42 and a sliding block 43 slidably connected with the slide rail 42. The sliding block 43 is rotatably (e.g. through a bearing) sleeved on a bottom end of the humidifier support rod 21. The second transmission belt is tensioned between a tension pulley (not shown in the figure, not referenced) and a second output pulley (not referenced, not shown in the figure) of the second rotary motor 41, and the sliding block 43 is fixedly connected with the second transmission belt. The tension pulley is rotatably connected with the slide rail 42, and the second rotary motor 41 is also fixedly connected with the slide rail 42. The slide rail 42 is also fixedly connected with the device main body 1.

[0053] In the technical solution, the bottom end of the humidifier support rod 21 is linearly displaced and driven in a sliding block 43 and slide rail 42 sliding connection mode, and the humidifier support rod 21 and the humidifier 2 assembled thereon can be reliably supported, so that the stability and reliability of the humidifier 2 in the position moving process can be effectively improved.

[0054] In order to further improve the smoothness and reliability of the position adjustment of the humidifier 2, the upper driving mechanism further comprises a top end guide 35, a first sliding groove 351 is formed on the top end guide 35, and the top end of the humidifier support rod 21 is slidingly connected in 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 sliding rail 42, and they are adapted to each other in the guide length. The aforementioned top end guide 35 can be a plate body structure. In a preferred embodiment, a travel switch 352 is arranged in the first sliding groove 351 to limit the linear displacement travel of the humidifier 2. It can be understood that when the humidifier support rod 21 moves and contacts the corresponding travel switch 352, the corresponding control component can issue an instruction to control the aforementioned upper driving mechanism and lower driving mechanism to stop driving displacement.

[0055] In order to ensure the displacement synchronization of the upper and lower ends of the humidifier 2, in some embodiments, an angle sensor 331 is arranged at the first end of the active swing rod 33 to detect the real-time rotation angle of the active swing rod 33, and a position sensor 421 is arranged on the slide rail 42 to detect the real-time position of the slide block 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 generated by the different driving mechanisms remain consistent. More importantly, since the aforementioned displacement driving mechanism will inevitably produce wear after a long period of use, thereby increasing the fitting gap between the components. At this time, the position sensor 421 and the angle sensor 331 can ensure the precise synchronization of the displacement. It can be understood that the control of the first rotary motor 31 and the second rotary motor 41 can adopt PID control to realize real-time adaptive control of the displacement. Through PID control, the system (i.e., the control system of the components) adjusts the operating state 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 that the humidifier 2 moves smoothly and accurately. Specifically, a PID controller can be used to achieve the aforementioned purpose, and the 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 difference 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 static errors caused by long-term deviations by accumulating errors, thereby keeping the system moving with high precision; the derivative term predicts the movement trend of the humidifier according to the error change rate (i.e., the speed of error change) to make corrections in advance, preventing the humidifier from overshooting or vibrating when approaching the target position. Through the cooperative work of the proportional, integral, and derivative terms, 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 automatically reduces the motor output to avoid excessive movement. During the repositioning of the humidifier, the controller adjusts the movement of the motor in synchronization to ensure that the humidifier returns to its original position smoothly and accurately completes the connection of the hose, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of the system and the safety of the equipment.

[0056] In particular Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioning device further comprises a humidifier deflection mechanism (not labeled in the figure), which comprises a deflection connecting rod 51 and a deflection guide 52, the first end of the deflection connecting rod 51 is fixedly connected with the humidifier support rod 21, the deflection guide 52 is formed with a second sliding groove 521, the extension direction of the second sliding groove 521 is parallel to the sliding guide direction of the sliding rail 42, the second end of the deflection connecting rod 51 is rotatably and slidingly connected in the second sliding groove 521, the extension length of the second sliding groove 521 is less than the total length of the linear displacement of the humidifier on the sliding rail 42, and both ends of the length of the second sliding groove 521 are within the interval of the total length of the linear displacement, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the length of the second sliding groove 521 is covered by the length of the sliding rail 42.

[0057] In this technical solution, by setting the second sliding groove 521 parallel to the length extension direction of the sliding rail 42, and the length of the second sliding groove 521 is shorter than the total length of the linear displacement of the humidifier, so that the difference in length between the two can be used to achieve the purpose of turning over the humidifier 2 at the end position of the second sliding groove 521, without the need to separately set a turning drive mechanism for the humidifier 2, but only relying on the positional relationship between the second sliding groove 521 and the sliding rail 42 to achieve, which can greatly simplify the setting structure design and reduce the manufacturing cost.

[0058] In a feasible embodiment, the second sliding groove 521 can be a linear sliding groove (i.e. a straight groove), at this time, in order to achieve automatic turning over during the push-pull position adjustment of the humidifier 2, the aforementioned deflection connecting rod 51 should be a displacement compensation functional component, for example, the aforementioned deflection connecting rod 51 can stretch and contract following the position adjustment of the humidifier 2, so as to prevent the deflection connecting rod 51 with constant length from being stuck, and as a better embodiment, both ends of the length of the second sliding groove 521 have an inner groove 522 extending along the side away from the sliding rail 42, so that when the second end of the deflection connecting rod 51 is in the inner groove 522, the deflection connecting rod 51 can be deflected by a preset angle with the inner groove 522 as the fulcrum.

[0059] In the technical solution, the inner grooves 522 are arranged at both ends of the second sliding groove 521, so that the deflection connecting rod 51 with a fixed length can be used to achieve the deflection purpose in the linear displacement adjustment of the humidifier 2, and the structure design can be further simplified and the cost can be reduced. In a specific embodiment, the inner grooves 522 are grooves extending towards the side away from the sliding rail 42. It can be understood that, according to different preset angles, the recess depth of the inner grooves 522 should match the length of the deflection connecting rod 51. In an embodiment, the preset angle is 90°, so that the humidifier 2 can be hidden in the back side and flipped to the relatively exposed area after being adjusted to the front side area position of the internal space, facilitating overall maintenance of the humidifier 2. At this time, the recess depth of the inner grooves 522 should be not less than the length of the deflection connecting rod 51, so as to ensure that the humidifier 2 is not stuck during deflection.

[0060] In order to ensure smooth deflection of the humidifier 2, a pulley 511 is arranged at the second end of the deflection connecting rod 51, and the second end of the deflection connecting rod 51 is rotatably connected to the second sliding groove 521 through the pulley 511.

[0061] In some embodiments, the humidifier 2 has a mist outlet hose 22 connected to the mist outlet thereof, and 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 comprises a hose connecting mechanism (not shown in the figure) arranged in the internal space. The hose connecting mechanism can drive the mist outlet hose 22 to move close to or away from the mist outlet to realize connection or disconnection of the mist outlet hose 22 and the mist outlet. Specifically, the mist outlet hose 22 should be disconnected from the mist outlet during movement or maintenance of the humidifier 2, and should be sealed and connected between the mist outlet before the humidifier 2 is restored to the original position after maintenance and is ready for use. In a specific embodiment, the hose connecting mechanism is connected or disconnected from the mist outlet in a plug-in manner.

[0062] In the technical solution, the hose connecting mechanism is arranged to realize connection or disconnection of the mist outlet hose 22 connected to the humidifier 2, so as to avoid damage to the mist outlet hose 22 caused by pulling the mist outlet hose 22 during movement of the humidifier. 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 damage to the mist outlet hose 22 during movement of the humidifier 2, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the equipment.

[0063] In one specific embodiment, the hose connecting mechanism comprises a ball screw assembly 61 and a fixed frame 62 fixedly connected with the moving nut (not shown) of the ball screw assembly 61, and the mist outlet hose 22 is connected to the fixed frame 62. It is understood that the aforementioned ball screw assembly 61 is a conventional component in the industry, which comprises a screw rod and a moving nut threadedly connected to the screw rod, the moving nut is slidingly connected with a corresponding anti-rotation mechanism, and one end of the screw rod is connected with a corresponding driving motor.

[0064] In the 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 meet the requirement of large force needed for plugging and unplugging.

[0065] In some embodiments, the fixed frame 62 comprises a fixed ring 621 which can match the size of the mist outlet. When the mist outlet hose 22 is inserted into the mist outlet, the fixed ring 621 can embrace the matching position of the two to ensure the sealing of the connection. It is understood that the inner diameter of the fixed ring 621 should be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe opening of the mist outlet.

[0066] The fixed frame 62 is provided with a pressure sensor (not shown and not labeled), which is used to detect the pressure during the process of inserting the mist outlet hose 22 into the mist outlet. The pressure sensor detects the pressure applied to the fixed ring 621 and the ball screw assembly 61, which ensures the sealed connection between the humidifier 2 and the mist outlet hose 22, prevents leakage, and avoids faults caused by excessive pressure due to improper connection (such as damage caused by excessive plugging pressure due to inaccurate alignment caused by excessive pressure position deviation).

[0067] According to the embodiments of the present application, a humidifier position adjusting method of an air conditioning device with a humidifier is also provided, which comprises the following steps:

[0068] Obtaining an operation instruction;

[0069] When the operation instruction is a humidifier maintenance instruction, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled 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, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled 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 is understood that when the air conditioning device comprises a humidifier deflection mechanism, the humidifier 2 will be turned by a preset angle and reset during the linear movement of the humidifier 2.

[0070] In the technical solution, when the humidifier 2 needs to be maintained, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate so that the humidifier 2 in the back region is moved to the front region of the internal space, facilitating the maintenance of the humidifier 2 by the maintenance personnel. When the maintenance is completed or no maintenance is needed, the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to move the humidifier 2 in the front region to the back region of the internal space, so that the internal space of the air conditioning device is used more reasonably, and the disassembly and maintenance of the electric appliance box 72 are not affected.

[0071] In some embodiments, when the air conditioning device comprises a hose connecting mechanism, the operation instruction is a humidifier maintenance instruction, before the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate, the hose connecting mechanism is controlled to operate so that the fogging hose 22 is disconnected from the fogging port of the humidifier 2; or when the air conditioning device comprises a hose connecting mechanism, the operation instruction is a humidifier reset instruction, after the displacement driving mechanism is controlled to operate and the humidifier 2 is reset to the initial position, the hose connecting mechanism is controlled to operate so that the fogging hose 22 is assembled to the fogging port of the humidifier 2. In this way, the aforementioned fogging hose 22 can be prevented from being damaged due to being pulled during the movement of the humidifier. Through the design, not only the stable movement of the humidifier is ensured, but also the connected fogging hose 22 is effectively protected, the damage to the fogging hose 22 during the movement of the humidifier 2 is avoided, and thus the reliability and service life of the equipment are improved.

[0072] In some embodiments, during the operation of the displacement driving mechanism, the real-time rotation angle of the main swing rod 33 and the real-time position of the sliding block 43 are detected in real time, and the top end and the bottom end of the humidifier support rod 21 are controlled to move synchronously in a straight line based on the real-time rotation angle and the real-time position. During the reset of the humidifier, the controller adjusts the movement of the motor synchronously to ensure that the humidifier returns to the original position smoothly and accurately connects 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 the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned modes can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.
