Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] In the description of this invention, "multiple" refers to two or more. The use of "first" and "second" is for distinguishing technical features only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features or their sequential relationship.

[0027] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "set up," "install," and "connect" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] Air conditioners are used to regulate the temperature of indoor environments. During the cooling process, condensation occurs when indoor air passes through the evaporator, reducing the water vapor content and making the air dry. To address this problem, air conditioners in related technologies incorporate a humidification component that humidifies the indoor environment, thereby increasing the humidity and resolving the issue of dry air.

[0029] The humidification component of this invention is installed in an air conditioner, which can be a portable air conditioner, a window unit, or a split air conditioner such as a wall-mounted unit, a floor-standing unit, or a ducted unit.

[0030] For ease of description, this invention uses a cabinet-style air conditioner as an example. The humidification component of this invention is installed in the indoor unit of the cabinet-style air conditioner. Because cabinet-style air conditioners have strict size requirements (e.g., the floor space and overall height cannot be too large), the layout of the humidification component within the air conditioner's interior space is also subject to strict requirements, as are the arrangement requirements between the various components of the humidification component. To address the problems of complex structure and large size of the humidification component, this invention's humidification component includes a water storage tank 100, a wet film mechanism 200, a fan 300, a water pump 400, and a water tank 500. The compact structure of the humidification component is achieved through the spatial arrangement of these components.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the water storage tank 100 includes a first tank 110 and a second tank 120. The first tank 110 is used to receive water replenishment from the water tank 500, and the second tank 120 is used to receive water from the wet membrane 210. The interior of the first tank 110 and the interior of the second tank 120 are connected, that is, water in the second tank 120 can flow to the first tank 110, and water in the first tank 110 can also flow back to the second tank 120.

[0032] The first groove 110 is connected to the second groove 120 along the first direction (i.e. Figure 2 On one side of the second groove 120 (in the direction from back to front, the same below), the first groove 110 is located in front of the second groove 120. In one embodiment, a portion of the sidewalls of the first groove 110 and the second groove 120 are shared; in another embodiment, a portion of the sidewalls of the first groove 110 and the second groove 120 on opposite sides are fixedly connected.

[0033] Reference Figure 3 As shown, the wet film mechanism 200 is connected to the water storage tank 100. The wet film mechanism 200 can be detachably connected to the water storage tank 100 for easy replacement. The wet film mechanism 200 includes a wet film 210, which is located above the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120. In one embodiment, the wet film 210 abuts against the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120, so the wet film 210 can adsorb water in the second tank 120 through siphon action. In another embodiment, it can also be aligned with the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120 in the height direction of the humidification component (i.e.,...). Figure 2 The vertical (same below) spacing can achieve isolation of the wet film 210 and the water in the second tank 120.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the wet membrane mechanism 200 also includes a third tank 220, located above the wet membrane 210. The third bottom wall 221 of the third tank 220 has a water distribution hole 222 for supplying water to the wet membrane 210. A water pump 400 lifts water from the water storage tank 100 to the third tank 220. The water flows downwards into the wet membrane 210 through the water distribution hole 222. Under gravity, the water wets the wet membrane 210 from top to bottom. Water not absorbed by the wet membrane 210 flows back into the water storage tank 100 and is lifted again by the water pump 400, thus achieving water circulation in the humidification component. Therefore, by supplying water to the wet membrane 210 from above, the humidification component increases the overall water content of the wet membrane 210 and improves the humidification capacity of the humidification component. Furthermore, the location of the third tank 220 facilitates cleaning by the user.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the fan 300 includes a volute 310 and an impeller 320. The impeller 320 is installed inside the volute 310 and is driven to rotate by a motor. The fan 300 carries away the water in the wet membrane 210 and blows it into the indoor environment, thereby increasing the humidity in the indoor environment. Therefore, when the wet membrane 210 adopts a top-supply method, the water content and water-containing area of ​​the wet membrane 210 increase, thus improving the humidification capacity of the humidification component.

[0036] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the second direction is defined as the direction perpendicular to the first direction. The fan 300 is connected to the water storage tank 100 along the second direction (i.e., Figure 2 The fan 300 is located on the right side of the water storage tank 100 in the direction from left to right (the same applies below). The water pump 400 is located on the side of the first tank 110 along the second direction, and the water pump 400 is located below the side of the volute 310 along the first direction, that is, the water pump 400 is located on the right side of the first tank 110 and below the front side of the volute 310.

[0037] The installation position of the water pump 400 makes full use of the gap space formed by the structure of the water storage tank 100, the wet film 210 and the fan 300. Therefore, the layout of the water pump 400, the water storage tank 100, the wet film mechanism 200 and the fan 300 is compact, making the overall structure of the humidification component more compact and improving the spatial layout of the humidification component inside the air conditioner.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the first bottom wall 111 of the first tank 110 is lower than the lowest point of the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120, and the design water level of the first tank 110 is slightly lower than the design water level of the second tank 120. Therefore, when the water pump 400 stops running, the water in the water circulation of the humidification component flows back to the second tank 120, so the water is not easy to overflow the water storage tank 100.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the wet film mechanism 200 of the present invention includes a wet film support 230 and a wet film 210. The wet film support 230 is connected to a second groove 120, and the wet film 210 is installed inside the wet film support 230. The wet film support 230 can improve the structural strength of the wet film 210 and also facilitates the removal of the wet film mechanism 200 from the humidification assembly. A third groove 220 is located at the upper end of the wet film support 230, therefore the structure of the third groove 220 is more stable and the layout is more reasonable.

[0040] Reference Figure 3As shown, the second tank 120 includes support ribs 122 extending in the front-rear direction, and the wet film support 230 abuts against the upper end face of the support ribs 122. To improve the installation stability of the wet film support 230, at least two support ribs 122 are generally provided, with two support ribs 122 jointly supporting the wet film support 230. Other support ribs 122 are used to support other functional modules. Under the action of the support ribs 122, a relatively stable interval can be achieved between the wet film 210 and the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120, which facilitates the return of water from the wet film 210 to the second tank 120 and prevents the wet film 210 from being immersed in water for a long time.

[0041] When the air conditioner is off, if the wet membrane 210 remains moist, bacteria can easily grow, and mold may even develop, shortening the service life of the wet membrane 210. To solve the above problems and avoid the wet membrane 210 being immersed in the water of the second tank 120 for a long time, this embodiment of the invention lifts the wet membrane 210 from the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120 upwards, so that the wet membrane 210 is mounted on the upper end face of the support rib 122.

[0042] It is understandable that the second bottom wall 121 of the second tank 120 is inclined downward along the first direction (i.e., from back to front). Water is guided from the second tank 120 to the first tank 110 by the second bottom wall 121 and the support rib 122, so that the return water of the wet film 210 can be smoothly guided to the direction of the water pump 400, and the water circulation of the humidification component is smoother.

[0043] To simplify the water circuit layout of water pump 400, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first tank 110 has a water outlet 112 on one side wall along the first direction, that is, the water outlet 112 is located on the right side wall of the first tank 110. A first water pipe 600 connects the water outlet 112 and the inlet of the water pump 400, and the inlet of the water pump 400 is located on the side closer to the water outlet 112. It can be understood that the first water pipe 600 can be made of rubber material, which is convenient for installation and has good sealing performance.

[0044] Reference Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the humidification component further includes a second water pipe 700, which is connected to the outlet of the water pump 400. The second water pipe 700 directly lifts water to the third tank 220, or through a functional module (e.g., an electrolytic water module 900) before reaching the third tank 220. It is understood that the second water pipe 700 can be made of rubber for easy installation and good sealing performance.

[0045] Reference Figure 4As shown, the outlet of the water pump 400 is located at the upper end of the water pump 400. Therefore, the outlet position of the water pump 400 is higher than the top of the water pump impeller, which is beneficial for venting the air in the water pump 400.

[0046] To minimize the impact of the second water pipe 700's routing on the humidification assembly's space, the second water pipe 700 includes a first pipe section 710 and a second pipe section 720 connected to each other. The first pipe section 710 is located below the front side of the volute 310, and the second pipe section 720 is located on the right side of the volute 310. Furthermore, when the water tank 500 is installed on the front side of the volute 310, the routing of the second water pipe 700 in this embodiment facilitates maximizing the volume of the water tank 500.

[0047] In another embodiment of the present invention, a portion of the second water pipe 700 is located on one side of the volute 310 along the first direction, that is, the second water pipe 700 runs along the front side of the volute 310, which minimizes the pipe running distance and makes the water circulation more concise.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the humidification assembly of this embodiment of the invention also includes a cover 800, which encloses at least a portion of the structure of the volute 310. The cover 800 protects the humidification assembly and enhances its structural strength. Furthermore, the cover 800 also protects components involved in water circulation, such as the water pump 400, the first water pipe 600, the second water pipe 700, or functional modules for water electrolysis. In this embodiment, the water pump 400 and the second water pipe 700 are located within the space between the volute 310 and the cover 800. The cover 800 protects the water pump 400 and the second water pipe 700, effectively preventing other components of the air conditioner from compressing the water pump 400 and the second water pipe 700.

[0049] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the humidification component of this embodiment of the invention also includes a water tank 500, which is used to replenish water to the water storage tank 100. For ease of filling, the water tank 500 is generally designed as a detachable structure. The water tank 500 is located on one side of the wet film mechanism 200 and the fan 300 along the first direction, that is, in front of the wet film mechanism 200 and the fan 300, thus facilitating user removal of the water tank 500.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the water tank 500 is used to supply water to the first tank 110. The first bottom wall 111 of the first tank 110 is provided with a boss 113, which is used to cooperate with the valve of the water tank 500, thereby enabling communication between the inside of the water tank 500 and the inside of the first tank 110. When the valve is pushed up by the boss 113, water from the water tank 500 flows into the first tank 110, so the water from the water tank 500 can be replenished to the water circulation of the humidification component through the first tank 110.

[0051] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second water pipe 700 runs upward through the right side of the volute 310, so it does not occupy the space on the front side of the volute 310, allowing the water tank 500 to be designed to have a larger volume in the same space.

[0052] Since the water pump 400 is located on the side of the volute 310 close to the water tank 500, a clearance groove is provided on the side of the water tank 500 facing the fan 300 to facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the water tank 500.

[0053] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the fan 300 in this embodiment of the invention also includes an air guide shroud 330 connected to the volute 310. The air guide shroud 330 extends upward and forward from the air outlet of the volute 310, and the air outlet of the air guide shroud 330 is located above the water tank 500. The air outlet direction of the air guide shroud 330 is from back to front. The portion of the air guide shroud 330 near the air outlet is located above the water tank 500, making the arrangement of the water tank 500 and the air guide shroud 330 more compact, and thus making the overall structure of the humidification component more compact. In addition, the installation position of the water tank 500 facilitates the user's removal of the water tank 500 without obstructing the air outlet of the humidification component.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to achieve both humidification and sterilization of the indoor environment, the humidification component of this embodiment of the invention is further equipped with an electrolyzed water module 900. The electrolyzed water module 900 is used to sterilize the water discharged into the third tank 220. After the humidification component is equipped with the electrolyzed water module 900, it can sterilize all components participating in the water circulation. The sterilized water is blown into the indoor environment by the fan 300, thereby achieving air sterilization of the indoor environment.

[0055] The water electrolysis module 900 is located above the volute 310 along one side in the first direction, that is, above the front side of the volute 310. The water electrolysis module 900 extends along the second direction, and the second water pipe 700 extends from one side of the volute 310 to one end of the water electrolysis module 900. The other end of the water electrolysis module 900 is provided with a third water pipe 910, which guides the electrolyzed water into the third tank 220. Therefore, the water circulation layout with the addition of the water electrolysis module 900 is simpler and more compact, effectively solving the space occupation problem of the humidification components.

[0056] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, when projected along the height direction of the humidification assembly, at least a portion of the projection of the water pump 400 coincides with the projection of the volute 310. Because the front side of the volute 310 is designed to be curved, the installation position of the water pump 400 can fully utilize the space below the front side of the volute 310, making the installation of the water pump 400 more compact.

[0057] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, when projected along the height direction of the humidification component, at least a portion of the projection of the water electrolysis module 900 coincides with the projection of the volute 310. Due to the structural design of the volute tongue 311, the installation position of the water electrolysis module 900 can make full use of the space above the front side of the volute 310, that is, the space in front of the volute tongue 311, making the installation of the water electrolysis module 900 more compact.

[0058] Reference Figure 5 As shown in the embodiment of the present invention, the fan 300 also includes an air guide shroud 330 connected to the volute 310. The structure of the air guide shroud 330 is basically the same as that in the above embodiment, and can be understood with reference to the above embodiment. The water electrolysis module 900 is located on the front side of the volute tongue 311, making the arrangement of the air guide shroud 330 and the water electrolysis module 900 more compact, thereby making the overall structure of the humidification component more compact.

[0059] In another embodiment of the humidification component of the present invention, the sidewall (i.e., the front sidewall) of the water electrolysis module 900 along one side in the first direction is configured as a visible area. For example, the sidewall is made of a transparent material, or the sidewall is thinned to create a semi-transparent effect. Therefore, after the user removes the water tank 500, they can directly observe the water flow inside the water electrolysis module 900.

[0060] Reference Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the water distribution hole 222 of the third tank 220 is located on the third bottom wall 221 of the third tank 220. The water distribution hole 222 is located in the middle of the third bottom wall 221 in the left-right direction. The third bottom wall 221 of the third tank 220 is inclined downward from the two side walls towards the middle. Under the guiding effect of the third bottom wall 221, the water flowing into the third tank 220 can flow smoothly and evenly from the water distribution hole 222 to the wet film 210. It can be understood that there are multiple water distribution holes 222, and the multiple water distribution holes 222 are spaced apart in the front-back direction; as an alternative embodiment, the multiple water distribution holes 222 can also be evenly distributed on the third bottom wall 221. As an alternative embodiment, the water distribution hole 222 is set as an elongated strip and extends in the front-back direction.
