[0001] This application relates to the field of humidification technology, and more particularly to a humidification device and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, humidifiers are small household appliances that can improve indoor air quality.

[0050] Combination Figure 1-19 As shown, in some embodiments, the humidification device includes: a water tank 100, a magnetic metal wet film 200, an electromagnetic heating module 300, and a heat transfer component 400. The water tank 100 has an air inlet 110 on its side wall; the magnetic metal wet film 200 is disposed inside the water tank 100; the electromagnetic heating module 300 is disposed on the lower side of the water tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200, for heating the magnetic metal wet film 200; the heat transfer component 400 is partially disposed on one side of the electromagnetic heating module 300, with the remainder extending to the air inlet 110.

[0051] The humidification device provided in this embodiment heats the water in the water tank 100 by heating the magnetic metal wet film 200 in the water tank 100 using the electromagnetic heating characteristics of the electromagnetic heating module 300. While heating the water in the water tank 100 using the electromagnetic heating module 300, the heat transfer component 400 can conduct the heat generated by the electromagnetic heating module 300 itself to the air inlet 110 to heat the incoming airflow. By heating the magnetic metal wet film 200 and the water, the incoming airflow can also be heated, increasing the humidification capacity. The heat transfer component 400 recovers and utilizes the heat generated by the electromagnetic heating module 300 itself, reducing the energy consumption of humidification.

[0052] Optionally, multiple air inlets 110 are provided, and these multiple air inlets 110 are respectively located on different side walls of the water storage tank 100. Each air inlet 110 is equipped with a heat transfer component 400. In this way, by setting multiple air inlets 110, air can be introduced into the water storage tank 100 from multiple sides, increasing the air intake of the water storage tank 100, thereby increasing the evaporation rate of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing the humidification rate. The airflow at each air inlet 110 can be heated by the heat transfer component 400, so that the airflow flowing into the water storage tank 100 is all heated airflow, further increasing the evaporation rate and thus improving the humidification efficiency.

[0053] Optionally, multiple air inlets 110 are respectively located on different vertical sidewalls of the water storage tank 100. This allows the lower side of the air inlet 110 to be positioned above the water level in the water storage tank 100, preventing water in the water storage tank 100 from flowing out of the air inlet 110.

[0054] Optionally, the lower edges of the multiple air inlets 110 are all at the same height. This ensures that the air intake height is the same and prevents water in the water tank 100 from flowing out from any one of the air inlets 110.

[0055] Optionally, the heat transfer component 400 includes a heat absorption end 410 and a heat dissipation end 420. The heat absorption end 410 is disposed on one side of the electromagnetic heating module 300; the heat dissipation end 420 is disposed at the air inlet 110; wherein the heat absorption end 410 and the heat dissipation end 420 are connected, and both the heat absorption end 410 and the heat dissipation end 420 are filled with a heat transfer medium. In this way, the heat absorption end 410 absorbs heat from the electromagnetic heating module 300 and conducts the heat to the heat dissipation end 420 to exchange heat with the incoming airflow at the air inlet 110, so that the incoming airflow is heated and flows into the water storage tank 100, increasing the evaporation rate and thus improving the humidification efficiency. By filling the heat absorption end 410 and the heat dissipation end 420 with a heat transfer medium, and utilizing the heat transfer medium to circulate between the heat absorption end 410 and the heat dissipation end 420, the heat transfer efficiency is increased, and the heat generated by the electromagnetic heating module 300 itself is recovered and utilized more efficiently, improving the heating effect on the incoming airflow.

[0056] Combination Figures 1-3 As shown, in one embodiment, the electromagnetic heating module 300 includes an electromagnetic coil 310. The electromagnetic coil 310 is disposed on the lower side of the water storage tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200; wherein, the heat-absorbing end 410 is disposed on the lower side of the electromagnetic coil 310. Thus, when the electromagnetic heating module 300 includes the electromagnetic coil 310, the electromagnetic coil 310 generates heat itself during operation. By distributing the heat-absorbing end 410 on the lower side of the electromagnetic coil 310, the heat-absorbing end 410 absorbs the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil 310 and conducts it to the heat dissipation end 420 for heat exchange with the incoming airflow.

[0057] Optionally, the electromagnetic heating module 300 further includes a support base 320. The support base 320 is located below the water storage tank 100, the electromagnetic coil 310 is laid on the upper side wall of the support base 320, and the electrical control box 330 is located on the lower side of the support base 320.

[0058] Optionally, a mica sheet 120 is provided between the lower side wall of the water tank 100 and the electromagnetic coil 310. In this way, the mica sheet 120 is used for heat insulation, which reduces the heat conduction from the water tank 100 to the electromagnetic coil 310, lowers the temperature of the electromagnetic coil 310, and reduces the risk of the electromagnetic coil 310 being damaged by high temperature.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, the heat absorption end 410 includes a heat exchange box, which is located below the electromagnetic coil 310. The heat exchange box is filled with a heat transfer medium. The side wall of the heat exchange box has an output port 430 and an input port 440. The heat dissipation end 420 includes a heat exchange coil 450 and fins 460. The heat exchange coil 450 passes through the inner side of the fins 460. The heat exchange coil 450 has an input flow channel 451 and an output flow channel 452 inside. The inlet of the input flow channel 451 is connected to the output port 430 through a pipe. The outlet of the input flow channel 451 is connected to the inlet of the output flow channel 452. The outlet of the output flow channel 452 is connected to the input port 440 through a pipe. In this way, the heat transfer medium inside the heat exchange box absorbs the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil 310. The heat transfer medium flows out from the output port 430, flows through the pipe into the input channel 451 inside the heat exchange coil 450, and flows back through the output channel 452. Then, it flows back into the heat exchange box from the input port 440 through the pipe for a new round of heat exchange. The heat transfer medium flowing in the input channel 451 and the output channel 452 exchanges heat with the heat exchange coil 450 and the fins 460, thereby dissipating heat into the incoming airflow. By setting the input channel 451 and the output channel 452 inside the heat exchange coil 450, a flow path twice the length of the heat exchange coil 450 is formed, extending the time and path of the heat transfer medium flowing in the heat exchange coil 450. This allows the heat in the heat transfer medium to be better dissipated into the incoming airflow for heating, improving the heating effect.

[0060] Optionally, the inlet of the input channel 451 and the outlet of the output channel 452 are located at one end of the heat exchange coil 450, and the outlet of the input channel 451 and the inlet of the output channel 452 are located at the other end of the heat exchange coil 450. This allows the heat transfer medium in the input channel 451 to flow from one end of the heat exchange coil 450 to the other end before entering the output channel 452. The heat transfer medium in the output channel 452 then flows back from the other end of the heat exchange coil 450 to one end, thus making the flow length of the heat transfer medium in the heat exchange coil 450 twice the length of the heat exchange coil 450, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.

[0061] For example, the heat transfer medium is a refrigerant or a phase change heat-conducting material. The heat transfer medium evaporates and vaporizes when absorbing heat and condenses and liquefies when releasing heat, so that the heat transfer medium can circulate more smoothly between the heat absorption end 410 and the heat dissipation end 420. A power pump is connected to the pipeline, and the heat transfer medium circulates between the heat absorption end 410 and the heat dissipation end 420 under the action of the power pump, thereby better conducting the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil 310 to the air inlet 110.

[0062] In another example, the inner diameter of both the input channel 451 and the output channel 452 is 1 mm. The heat exchange box also has a refrigerant channel 470, with its two ends connected to the input port 440 and the output port 430, respectively. The inner diameter of the refrigerant channel 470 is also 1 mm. The heat transfer medium filled in the input channel 451, the output channel 452, and the refrigerant channel 470 is a phase change thermally conductive material. This allows capillary force to exist within the input channel 451, the output channel 452, and the refrigerant channel 470. When the heat transfer medium inside the refrigerant channel 470 absorbs heat and vaporizes, the capillary force enables the heat transfer medium in the input channel 451, the output channel 452, and the refrigerant channel 470 to circulate without power, eliminating the need for a power pump and other components, thus reducing costs.

[0063] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, in another embodiment, the electromagnetic heating module 300 includes an electromagnetic coil 310 and an electrical control box 330. The electromagnetic coil 310 is disposed on the lower side of the water storage tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200; the electrical control box 330 is disposed on one side of the electromagnetic coil 310; wherein, the heat-absorbing end 410 is partially disposed on the lower side of the electromagnetic coil 310, and the remaining part is disposed inside the electrical control box 330. Thus, when the electromagnetic heating module 300 includes the electromagnetic coil 310 and the electrical control box 330, both the electromagnetic coil 310 and the electrical control box 330 generate heat during operation, therefore, the heat-absorbing end 410 is disposed on one side of the electromagnetic coil 310, and the remaining part is disposed inside the electrical control box 330. The heat absorption end 410 absorbs the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil 310 and the electrical control box 330 at the same time, and then conducts it to the heat dissipation end 420 for heat dissipation. The heat from the electromagnetic coil 310 and the electrical control box 330 is recovered to heat the airflow at the air inlet 110, thereby increasing the humidification capacity.

[0064] Optionally, the heat absorption end 410 is composed of a first heat absorption part 411 and a second heat absorption part 412, and the heat dissipation end 420 is composed of a first heat release part 421 and a second heat release part 422. The first heat release part 421 and the second heat release part 422 are both located at the air inlet 110. The first heat absorption part 411 is located on the lower side of the electromagnetic coil 310, and the second heat absorption part 412 is located on the inner side of the electrical control box 330. The first heat absorption part 411 is connected to the first heat release part 421, and the second heat absorption part 412 is connected to the second heat release part 422. Thus, since the electromagnetic heating module 300 is divided into an electromagnetic coil 310 and an electrical control box 330, the heat generated by the electromagnetic coil 310 and the electrical control box 330 needs to be recovered and reused. Therefore, the heat absorption end 410 is divided into a first heat absorption part 411 and a second heat absorption part 412, and the heat dissipation end 420 is divided into a first heat release part 421 and a second heat release part 422. The first heat absorption part 411 is connected to the first heat release part 421, and the second heat absorption part 412 is connected to the second heat release part 422. The first heat absorption part 411 absorbs the heat from the electromagnetic coil 310 and conducts it to the first heat release part 421 to heat the incoming airflow. The second heat absorption part 412 absorbs the heat from inside the electrical control box 330 and conducts it to the second heat release part 422 to heat the incoming airflow.

[0065] It is understood that the communication structure between the first heat-absorbing part 411 and the first heat-releasing part 421, the communication structure between the second heat-absorbing part 412 and the second heat-releasing part 422, and the flow mode of the heat transfer medium are all the same as the communication structure in the previous embodiment, and will not be described again here.

[0066] Optionally, each air inlet 110 is provided with a heat dissipation end 420. In this way, the heat absorbed by the heat absorption end 410 is conducted to the heat dissipation end 420 to heat the airflow entering each air inlet 110.

[0067] Optionally, when the heat dissipation end 420 includes a first heat dissipation part 421 and a second heat dissipation part 422, the first heat dissipation part 421 and the second heat dissipation part 422 are respectively located at different air inlets 110. In this way, since multiple air inlets 110 are provided, by setting different heat dissipation parts of the heat dissipation end 420 at different air inlets 110, the heat of the heat dissipation end 420 is rationally utilized, and the heating effect of the incoming airflow is improved.

[0068] Optionally, along the direction perpendicular to the air inlet 110, the projected area of ​​the heat transfer component 400 is greater than or equal to nine-tenths of the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110, and less than the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110. This results in a relatively large coverage area of ​​the heat transfer component 400 at the air inlet 110, with a relatively small impact on the airflow rate, allowing for more efficient heating of the incoming airflow and thus increasing the humidification capacity.

[0069] Optionally, along the direction perpendicular to the air inlet 110, the area of ​​the projected region of the heat dissipation end 420 of the heat transfer component 400 is greater than or equal to nine-tenths of the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110, and less than the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110. Thus, since the heat dissipation end 420 of the heat transfer component 400 is located at the air inlet 110, the area of ​​the projected region of the heat dissipation end 420 of the heat transfer component 400 is effectively greater than or equal to nine-tenths of the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110, and less than the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110.

[0070] Optionally, along the direction perpendicular to the air inlet 110, the area of ​​the projected region of the heat dissipation end 420 is equal to nine-tenths of the flow area of ​​the air inlet 110. This ensures the coverage area of ​​the heat dissipation end 420 at the air inlet 110 while reducing the impact of the heat dissipation end 420 on the airflow.

[0071] Combination Figures 6-8 As shown, in some embodiments, the magnetic metal wet film 200 is vertically disposed inside the water storage tank 100, and multiple air inlets 110 are located on the outer periphery of the magnetic metal wet film 200. This allows the incoming airflow from the multiple air inlets 110 to be evenly directed toward the outer wall of the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby increasing the evaporation rate of the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0072] Optionally, the humidification device further includes a water replenishment tank 130. The water replenishment tank 130 is partially embedded within the water storage tank 100. A water replenishment seat 140 is provided on the lower inner wall of the water storage tank 100. A water tank cover 150 of the water replenishment tank 130 is placed within the water replenishment seat 140, allowing the water replenishment tank 130 to communicate with the water storage tank 100 through the water tank cover 150. In this way, water can be automatically replenished to the water storage tank 100 through the water replenishment tank 130. When the liquid level in the water storage tank 100 is lower than the water tank cover 150, external airflow enters the water replenishment tank 130 through the water tank cover 150, causing water in the water replenishment tank 130 to flow into the water storage tank 100 from the water tank cover 150.

[0073] Optionally, the height of the water tank cover 150 is lower than the lower edge of the air inlet 110 in the vertical direction. This ensures that water from the replenishment tank 130 will flow into the water tank 100 through the water tank cover 150 to replenish water when the water level in the water storage tank 100 is lower than the water tank cover 150. Conversely, when the water level in the water storage tank 100 submerges the water tank cover 150, no airflow enters the cover, preventing water from flowing out of the replenishment tank 130. Therefore, the water level in the water storage tank 100 is always maintained at the same level as the upper surface of the water tank cover 150. Setting the height of the lower edge of the air inlet 110 to be higher than the height of the water tank cover 150 ensures that the water level in the water storage tank 100 is always lower than the lower edge of the air inlet 110, preventing water from flowing out of the air inlet 110.

[0074] Optionally, a fan 160 is installed above the water tank 100, and the fan 160 is positioned above the magnetic metal wet film 200. The air inlet of the fan 160 is connected to the internal space of the water tank 100. In this way, the operation of the fan 160 creates a negative pressure inside the water tank 100, causing external airflow to flow into the water tank 100 through the air inlet 110 and come into contact with the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby accelerating the evaporation of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing its evaporation rate. The evaporated water vapor is blown out from the air outlet of the fan 160 with the airflow, achieving the humidification function.

[0075] Optionally, the upper side wall of the water storage tank 100 has an opening, and a cover plate 170 is detachably covered over the opening. A fan 160 is mounted on the cover plate 170, and the air inlet of the fan 160 communicates with the internal space of the water storage tank 100 through a connecting opening 171 on the inner side of the cover plate 170. Thus, by covering the opening of the water storage tank 100 with the detachable cover plate 170, the cover plate 170 provides support for the installation of the fan 160. The magnetic metal wet film 200 can be installed and removed through the opening. When it is necessary to install or remove the magnetic metal wet film 200, the cover plate 170 is removed, thereby opening the opening.

[0076] For example, the lower edge of the cover plate 170 is provided with a buckle or other structure, and the open edge of the water tank 100 is provided with a groove. The cover plate 170 is detachably covered at the open by the cooperation of the buckle and the groove, and is detachably connected to the water tank 100.

[0077] Optionally, a clearance opening is provided on the side wall of the cover plate 170, and the water replenishment tank 130 is partially embedded in the water storage tank 100 through the clearance opening. In this way, the water replenishment tank 130 is embedded in the water storage tank 100 through the clearance opening provided on the cover plate 170, and the water replenishment tank 130 is supported by the cooperation between the side wall of the water storage tank 100 and the cover plate 170.

[0078] Optionally, an annular seat 172 is provided above the connecting port 171. The annular seat 172 has mounting ears on its outer periphery, and the outer periphery of the fan 160's housing has mounting seats corresponding to the mounting ears. The fan 160's housing is installed using screws, the mounting ears, and the mounting seats. The fan 160's air inlet end is covered by the annular seat 172. Thus, by installing the fan 160 above the connecting port 171 using the annular seat 172, the installation stability of the fan 160 is improved through the cooperation of screws, mounting ears, and mounting seats, and the disassembly and maintenance of the fan 160's housing is facilitated.

[0079] Optionally, the magnetic metal wet film 200 has a cylindrical structure, and the fan 160 is a centrifugal fan. The air inlet of the centrifugal fan is positioned facing the upper port of the magnetic metal wet film 200, and the axis of the magnetic metal wet film 200 coincides with the axis of the centrifugal fan. In this way, utilizing the axial air intake characteristic of the centrifugal fan, the air inlet of the centrifugal fan is positioned directly above the upper port of the magnetic metal wet film 200. The negative pressure generated by the centrifugal fan can act more evenly within the space containing the magnetic metal wet film 200, allowing the airflow to flow more uniformly through the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby resulting in more uniform evaporation of moisture from the surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing the humidification capacity.

[0080] For example, the air inlet of the centrifugal fan is a circular opening structure and is located on the axial direction of the centrifugal fan. When the centrifugal fan is installed on the annular seat 172, the circular air inlet is adapted to the annular seat 172, so that the negative pressure at the air inlet of the centrifugal fan can better act on the space where the magnetic metal wet film 200 is located.

[0081] Combination Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in one embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal cylinder 210 and a magnetic metal disk 220. The magnetic metal cylinder 210 is disposed in a water storage tank 100, with its lower end submerged in the water of the water storage tank 100; the magnetic metal disk 220 is disposed in the lower port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 and is located directly above the electromagnetic heating module 300.

[0082] In this embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 is divided into a magnetic metal cylinder 210 and a magnetic metal disk 220. Since the electromagnetic heating module 300 is located below the water tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200, the magnetic metal disk 220 can better cooperate with the electromagnetic heating module 300, allowing the magnetic metal disk 220 to more efficiently sense changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 300 and generate heat, thus improving the heating efficiency of the electromagnetic heating module 300. Simultaneously, the magnetic metal cylinder 210 can also sense changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 300 and generate heat to heat itself. Since the magnetic metal disc 220 is located inside the lower port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 and is immersed in the water in the water tank 100, the heat generated by the magnetic metal disc 220 is applied to the water in the water tank 100 more efficiently to heat the water. At the same time, the heat from the magnetic metal disc 220 can also be conducted to the magnetic metal cylinder 210 for heating, thereby improving the evaporation efficiency of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and increasing the humidification capacity.

[0083] Optionally, the magnetic metal disk 220 is positioned directly above the electromagnetic coil 310, and the area of ​​the magnetic metal disk 220 is adapted to the area of ​​the electromagnetic coil 310. In this way, under the action of the electromagnetic coil 310, the magnetic metal disk 220 can more efficiently sense changes in the magnetic field to generate heat for heating.

[0084] Optionally, both the magnetic metal disk 220 and the magnetic metal cylinder 210 are made of stainless steel. This allows the magnetic metal disk 220 and the magnetic metal cylinder 210 to generate heat by sensing changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic coil 310, while also improving their corrosion resistance and extending their service life.

[0085] Combination Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in another embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal base 230 and magnetic metal strips 240. The magnetic metal base 230 is located directly above the electromagnetic heating module 300; multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are provided, the lower ends of the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are all connected to the magnetic metal base 230, and the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are evenly arranged along the edge of the magnetic metal base 230.

[0086] In this embodiment, the magnetic metal wet film 200 is divided into a magnetic metal base 230 and magnetic metal strips 240. Since the electromagnetic heating module 300 is located below the water tank 100 and directly below the magnetic metal wet film 200, the magnetic metal base 230 better cooperates with the electromagnetic heating module 300, allowing the magnetic metal base 230 to more efficiently sense changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 300 and generate heat, thus improving the heating efficiency of the electromagnetic heating module 300. Multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are evenly arranged along the edge of the magnetic metal base 230 to form a cylindrical cage structure. While sensing changes in the magnetic field of the electromagnetic heating module 300 to generate heat, the heat in the magnetic metal base 230 can be efficiently conducted to the multiple magnetic metal strips 240, accelerating the evaporation of the humidifying water sprayed onto the surface of the magnetic metal strips 240 and increasing the humidification rate. Furthermore, the cage structure composed of multiple magnetic metal strips 240 can increase the adhesion area of ​​the spray water, allowing the airflow to circulate along the gaps of the multiple magnetic metal strips 240, thereby increasing the evaporation and humidification.

[0087] Optionally, the magnetic metal base 230 is immersed in the water in the water tank 100. In this way, the heat generated by the magnetic metal base 230 can be more efficiently conducted to the water for heating, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the water in the water tank 100.

[0088] Optionally, the magnetic metal base 230 has a disc-shaped structure, and multiple magnetic metal strips 240 are evenly arranged along the outer periphery of the magnetic metal base 230 to form a cylindrical structure, with a flow gap 241 defined between adjacent magnetic metal strips 240. In this way, the incoming airflow can flow into the cylindrical cage structure formed by the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 through the flow gap 241, and then flow into the air inlet of the fan 160 along the upper end of the cylindrical structure. The sprayed humidifying water can also be sprayed into the flow gap 241, thereby increasing the adhesion area of ​​the humidifying water, increasing the amount of incoming airflow, and thus improving the humidification capacity.

[0089] Optionally, the magnetic metal base 230 is located directly above the electromagnetic coil 310, and the area of ​​the magnetic metal base 230 is adapted to the area of ​​the electromagnetic coil 310.

[0090] Optionally, both the magnetic metal base 230 and the magnetic metal strip 240 are made of stainless steel.

[0091] Combination Figures 13-14As shown, in one embodiment, the humidification device further includes a spray section 500. The spray section 500 is disposed above the magnetic metal wet film 200 and is connected to the water storage tank 100, enabling it to draw water from the water storage tank 100 and spray it onto the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200. Thus, by drawing heated water from the water storage tank 100 and spraying it onto the heated magnetic metal wet film 200 through the spray section 500, the water sprayed onto the magnetic metal wet film 200 can evaporate rapidly, increasing the humidification capacity.

[0092] Optionally, the spray unit 500 includes a spray water box 510 and a sponge pad 520. The spray water box 510 is disposed above the magnetic metal wet film 200; the sponge pad 520 covers the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and is located below the spray water box 510; wherein, the water inlet end of the spray water box 510 is connected to the water storage tank 100.

[0093] In this embodiment, the spray unit 500 is divided into a spray water box 510 and a sponge pad 520. The spray water box 510 draws humidifying water from the water storage tank 100 and sprays it towards the sponge pad 520. The humidifying water first wets the sponge pad 520. After the sponge pad 520 becomes saturated with water, the water overflows and flows downwards from the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200, evenly wetting the magnetic metal wet film 200. After being wetted, the magnetic metal wet film 200 uses its own heat to accelerate the evaporation of water. At the same time, under the action of the airflow, the water evaporates rapidly and is discharged with the airflow, improving the evaporation uniformity of the magnetic metal wet film 200, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0094] Optionally, the shape of the sponge pad 520 is adapted to the shape of the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200. This allows the humidifying water overflowing from the sponge pad 520 to flow evenly to the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200, and then flow downwards along the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200, uniformly wetting the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0095] Optionally, the sponge pad 520 is an annular washer structure. Since the magnetic metal wet film 200 is cylindrical and its upper surface is annular, setting the sponge pad 520 to an annular shape allows it to fit more snugly over the upper surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and reduces its impact on the humidifying airflow.

[0096] Optionally, the spray water box 510 is an annular water box, and the lower side wall of the spray water box 510 is provided with multiple drainage holes. The multiple drainage holes are evenly distributed along the lower side wall of the spray water box 510, and each drainage hole is located above the sponge pad 520. In this way, the water in the spray water box 510 can drip evenly onto the sponge pad 520 through the multiple drainage holes, evenly wetting the sponge pad 520, improving the water absorption uniformity of the sponge pad 520, and ensuring that the humidifying water overflowing after the sponge pad 520 is saturated can evenly wet the magnetic metal wet film 200.

[0097] Optionally, the lower sidewall of the spray water box 510 abuts against the upper sidewall of the sponge pad 520, and the upper sidewall of the sponge pad 520 blocks multiple drainage holes. This allows water flowing from the drainage holes of the spray water box 510 to be directly absorbed by the sponge pad 520, preventing gaps between the drainage holes and the sponge pad 520 from causing dripping humidifying water to splash out, thus improving the water absorption effect of the sponge pad 520.

[0098] Optionally, an annular sleeve 530 is provided on the lower side of the spray water box 510, and the annular sleeve 530 is fitted onto the outer peripheral wall of the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200. In this way, the annular sleeve 530 can limit the upper end of the magnetic metal wet film 200, so that the upper end surface of the magnetic metal wet film 200 is directly below the spray water box 510, and it is not easy to shift. Moreover, the annular sleeve 530 can also guide the humidifying water overflowing from the sponge pad 520, so that the humidifying water flows more accurately down the inner wall of the annular sleeve 530, wetting the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal wet film 200, reducing the risk of humidifying water splashing.

[0099] Combination Figure 15 As shown, in a specific embodiment, when the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal disk 220 and a magnetic metal cylinder 210, a flow gap 540 is provided between the spray water box 510 and the cover plate 170 in the vertical direction. Thus, since the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 is airtight in this embodiment, the incoming airflow is blown from the outer peripheral region of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 towards the magnetic metal cylinder 210, and then flows upward along the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 to the upper port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210, entering the air inlet of the fan 160. Therefore, the flow gap 540 provided between the spray water box 510 and the cover plate 170 allows the airflow flowing to the upper port of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 to smoothly flow into the air inlet of the fan 160 along the flow gap 540.

[0100] Combination Figure 16As shown, in another specific embodiment, when the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal base 230 and magnetic metal strips 240, the spray water box 510 is disposed at the lower edge of the communication opening 171 of the cover plate 170, and one side of the spray water box 510 is connected to the side wall of the cover plate 170 corresponding to the lower edge of the communication opening 171. Thus, since there are flow gaps 241 between the multiple magnetic metal strips 240 in this embodiment, the incoming airflow can flow into the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200 through the flow gaps 241, and then flow upwards along the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200, finally entering the air inlet of the fan 160. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spray water box 510 is directly fixed to the lower side wall of the cover plate 170, making the humidifying airflow flowing inside the magnetic metal wet film 200 more concentrated towards the fan 160, improving the humidification effect.

[0101] Combination Figure 17 As shown, in another specific embodiment, when the magnetic metal wet film 200 includes a magnetic metal disk 220 and a magnetic metal cylinder 210, the spray water box 510 is disposed at the lower edge of the communication port 171 opened in the cover plate 170, and one side of the spray water box 510 is connected to the side wall of the cover plate 170 corresponding to the lower edge of the communication port 171. Multiple flow holes are opened on the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210, and the multiple flow holes are evenly distributed along the outer side wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210. Thus, since the outer peripheral wall of the magnetic metal cylinder 210 in this embodiment has multiple flow holes, the incoming airflow can flow into the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200 through the multiple flow holes, and then flow upward along the inner side of the magnetic metal wet film 200 and finally enter the air inlet of the fan 160. Therefore, in this embodiment, the spray water box 510 is directly fixed to the lower side wall of the cover plate 170, so that the humidifying airflow flowing inside the magnetic metal wet film 200 flows more concentratedly to the fan 160, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0102] Combination Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, in some embodiments, a water pump 180 is provided on the lower inner wall of the water storage tank 100. The inlet of the water pump 180 is immersed in the water in the water storage tank 100, and the outlet of the water pump 180 is connected to the spray section 500 through a connecting pipe. In this way, the water pump 180 draws humidifying water from the water storage tank 100 and supplies water to the spray section 500, enabling the spray section 500 to continuously spray humidifying water onto the magnetic metal wet film 200, ensuring the normal operation of the humidification work.

[0103] Alternatively, the connecting tube can be a flexible tube. This allows the connecting tube to bend and deform, reducing the risk of breakage.

[0104] Optionally, the water pump 180 is submerged in the water in the water storage tank 100. In this way, the water level in the water storage tank 100 can be used to cool the water pump 180, while the heat generated by the water pump 180 during operation can be used to heat the water in the water storage tank 100, thereby reducing energy consumption.

[0105] Optionally, one end of the connecting pipe is connected to the outlet of the water pump 180, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the spray water box 510. In this way, the humidifying water drawn by the water pump 180 is discharged into the spray water box 510 through the connecting pipe to supply water to the spray water box 510.

[0106] Optionally, a temperature sensor 190 is provided in the water inlet area of ​​the water pump 180. In this way, the temperature sensor 190 can detect the water temperature in the water inlet area of ​​the water pump 180, thereby more accurately reflecting the water temperature of the humidifying water sprayed by the spray section 500, and thus accurately controlling the power of the electromagnetic heating module 300 based on the water temperature of the sprayed water, and accurately controlling the humidification amount.

[0108] By using the air conditioner provided in this embodiment, and applying the humidification device of the above embodiment to the air conditioner, the humidification capacity of the air conditioner can be increased and the energy consumption of the air conditioner can be reduced.
