Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air conditioning oxygen generation, and in particular to an air conditioning oxygen generation device and smart furniture. Background Technology

[0002] Oxygen concentrators primarily separate oxygen from the air through physical methods, with molecular sieve pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology at its core. As a key consumable component, extending the lifespan of the molecular sieve and maintaining its high oxygen production capacity is crucial. The working principle of air conditioning oxygen concentrators typically involves using an air compressor to generate high-pressure air that passes through a molecular sieve. The molecular sieve adsorbs nitrogen, increasing the oxygen concentration, thus expelling the high-oxygen-concentration air. The high-nitrogen-concentration air is then expelled by desorbing the adsorbed nitrogen from the molecular sieve.

[0003] However, in related technologies, air conditioning oxygen generators lack suitable cooling measures. When the air conditioning oxygen generator produces oxygen, the gas discharged from the air compressor is at a high temperature. When it passes through the cooler pipes, the gaseous water in the air will condense and liquefy into liquid water. Furthermore, the molecular sieve is very easy to absorb the liquid water, causing it to fail and thus shortening the overall lifespan of the air conditioning oxygen generator.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the air conditioning oxygen generator provided in this application.

[0022] This application provides an air conditioning oxygen generation device. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning oxygen generating equipment of this embodiment includes an air conditioning unit 10 and an oxygen generating unit 20. The air conditioning unit 10 includes a water outlet pipe 11, and the oxygen generating unit 20 includes an airflow pipe 30. The airflow pipe 30 is used to introduce gas, and the airflow pipe 30 is at least partially thermally connected to at least a portion of the water outlet pipe 11 so that the water outlet pipe 11 and the airflow pipe 30 can exchange heat.

[0023] It should be noted that the air conditioning oxygen-generating equipment in this application specifically includes an air conditioning unit 10 and an oxygen-generating unit 20, meaning the air conditioning oxygen-generating equipment can specifically be an oxygen-generating air conditioner. Specifically, the oxygen-generating unit 20 utilizes the selective adsorption characteristics of an adsorbent to separate impurities such as nitrogen from oxygen, thereby enriching oxygen. When oxygen is generated through the oxygen-generating unit 20, its adsorption capacity is closely related to temperature. Specifically, the adsorption capacity of the adsorbent in the oxygen-generating unit 20 is negatively correlated with temperature; that is, as the temperature of the oxygen-generating unit 20 increases, its adsorption capacity gradually decreases. In other words, the higher the temperature, the lower the adsorption capacity of the oxygen-generating unit 20 for impurities such as nitrogen, leading to a decrease in the oxygen-generating efficiency of the oxygen-generating unit 20. Furthermore, when the temperature of the gas transmitted to the oxygen-generating unit 20 is too high, the gaseous water in the high-temperature gas is pre-cooled within the oxygen-generating unit 20, forming condensate. This condensate can cause a decrease in the oxygen-generating efficiency of the oxygen-generating unit 20, and may even damage the oxygen-generating unit 20.

[0024] Based on this, the air conditioning unit 10 in the air conditioning oxygen generator of this application is provided with a water outlet pipe 11 to guide the liquid water generated when the air conditioning unit 10 is working. Furthermore, when the oxygen generator 20 is generating oxygen, air needs to be transmitted to the oxygen generator 20 through a pipeline. Specifically, the oxygen generator 20 in this application includes an airflow pipe 30, which is used to introduce gas. That is, the air inlet of the oxygen generator 20 is connected to the airflow pipe 30, so that air can be transmitted to the oxygen generator 20 through the airflow pipe 30 for oxygen generation. To reduce the temperature of the gas introduced into the oxygen generator 20 and improve the oxygen generation efficiency and service life of the oxygen generator 20, the airflow pipe 30 is at least partially coupled to the water outlet pipe 11, thereby allowing heat exchange between the water outlet pipe 11 and the airflow pipe 30. When the air conditioning unit 10 is working, the temperature of the liquid water it produces is relatively low (e.g., 10 degrees Celsius). The water outlet pipe 11 of the air conditioning unit 10 is coupled to the airflow pipe 30, so that the low temperature liquid water in the water outlet pipe 11 can exchange heat with the gas in the airflow pipe 30. The low temperature liquid water in the water outlet pipe 11 cools down the gas in the airflow pipe 30, thus preventing the high temperature gas from being directly transmitted to the oxygen generator 20.

[0025] In some embodiments, the airflow duct 30 and the water outlet pipe 11 are at least partially coupled, which can be represented as the airflow duct 30 and the water outlet pipe 11 being nested, wrapped, fixedly contacted, or fitted together. In other embodiments, a heat-conducting material is provided between the airflow duct 30 and the water outlet pipe 11 so that the gas in the airflow duct 30 and the water flow in the water outlet pipe 11 can exchange heat.

[0026] Through research and testing, the inventors discovered that when the air conditioning unit 10 is used, if it only uses air cooling, the cooling effect is not ideal, especially at high humidity levels. It fails to achieve a strong cooling effect, resulting in a still high intake air temperature and significant condensation. Furthermore, air cooling requires an additional cooling fan, which necessitates airflow, making it difficult to achieve proper sealing in the oxygen generator unit, allowing dust to easily enter and placing higher demands on noise reduction. In addition, the condensate produced by the indoor unit is usually discharged directly without any utilization.

[0027] Compared to the simple air-cooling method used in related technologies, this application guides the condensate through the outlet pipe 11 and integrates it with the airflow pipe 30 of the oxygen generator 20. This allows for the reuse of the condensate generated by the air conditioning unit 10 while simultaneously cooling the gas in the airflow pipe 30. This eliminates the need for other means (such as air cooling) to cool the gas introduced into the oxygen generator 20, and eliminates the need for separate cooling equipment such as fans. This reduces the manufacturing cost of the air conditioning oxygen generator, reduces its energy consumption, eliminates the need for high airflow requirements, improves airtightness, and also helps reduce noise.

[0028] In one optional embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 operates in multiple modes, including cooling and heating. When the air conditioning unit 10 is cooling, if the air is relatively dry, the amount of condensate produced is relatively small. Although the small amount of condensate has a relatively poor cooling effect on the gas in the airflow duct 30, the impact on the oxygen generator 20 is limited because the air is relatively dry, meaning less water is released from the air. Therefore, excessive cooling of the air in the airflow duct 30 is unnecessary. If the air humidity is high, the air conditioning unit 10 produces a relatively large amount of condensate, which can be discharged through the drain pipe 11 and effectively cool the air in the airflow duct 30. When the air conditioning unit 10 is in heating mode, although no condensate is produced, the air temperature is relatively low and the air is relatively dry, meaning cooling of the air in the airflow duct 30 is unnecessary. Based on this, the air conditioning oxygen generator 20 in this application is mainly for cooling the air in the airflow duct 30 when the air temperature and humidity are high and the air conditioning unit 10 is cooling.

[0029] In this embodiment, when the air conditioning unit 10 is cooling, the low-temperature condensate generated by the indoor unit of the air conditioning unit 10 is discharged through the water outlet pipe 11, and the water outlet pipe 11 is coupled to the airflow pipe 30. When the airflow pipe 30 is used to supply air to the oxygen generator 20, the air in the airflow pipe 30 can be cooled through the water outlet pipe 11.

[0030] In this application, by providing a water outlet pipe 11 in the air conditioning unit 10 and including an airflow pipe 30 in the oxygen generating unit 20, the airflow pipe 30 is used to introduce gas into the oxygen generating unit 20. The airflow pipe 30 is at least partially coupled to the water outlet pipe 11, which enables heat exchange between the water outlet pipe 11 and the airflow pipe 30. This allows the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 to cool the air in the airflow pipe 30. On the one hand, this reduces the temperature of the gas introduced into the oxygen generating unit 20, thereby effectively improving the oxygen generating efficiency of the oxygen generating unit 20. On the other hand, it reduces the leaching of water from the gas in the oxygen generating unit 20, thereby effectively improving the service life of the oxygen generating unit 20.

[0031] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the oxygen generating device 20 includes a compressor 21 and an oxygen generator 22. When generating oxygen through the oxygen generating device 20, the compressor 21 compresses the air, which is then transmitted to the oxygen generator 22 for oxygen production. The airflow duct 30 includes an inlet pipe 31 and an outlet pipe 32. One end of the inlet pipe 31 is connected to the outside, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the compressor 21. One end of the outlet pipe 32 is connected to the outlet of the compressor 21, and the other end is connected to the inlet of the oxygen generator 22. In other words, when generating oxygen through the oxygen generating device 20, air can be transmitted to the compressor 21 through the inlet pipe 31, compressed by the compressor 21, and then introduced into the oxygen generator 22 through the outlet pipe 32 for oxygen production.

[0032] In some embodiments, the air inlet pipe 31 is coupled to the water outlet pipe 11.

[0033] In some embodiments, the air outlet pipe 32 and the water outlet pipe 11 are coupled together.

[0034] In some embodiments, both the air inlet pipe 31 and the air outlet pipe 32 are coupled to the water outlet pipe 11.

[0035] Taking the coupling configuration of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 as an example, the air conditioning oxygen generator includes a first encapsulation module 41. The air inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 11 are at least partially located within the first encapsulation module 41, and the air inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 11 are coupled within the first encapsulation module 41. After the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 are coupled, the first encapsulation module 41 is sleeved on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31, thereby insulating the low temperature of the condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 to reduce the loss of temperature of the low-temperature condensate, thereby enhancing the heat exchange between the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 and the air in the air inlet pipe 31, thus ensuring that the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 can quickly cool the air in the air inlet pipe 31. The first encapsulation module 41 can specifically be a pipe. When the pipe is sleeved on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31, flexible insulation material can be installed inside the pipe. This allows the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 to be insulated by the pipe and the flexible insulation material, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 in cooling the air in the air inlet pipe 31. In other embodiments, the first encapsulation module 41 can also be configured as other insulation devices, which are not specifically limited herein.

[0036] In the embodiment where the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 are coupled, after the air is transmitted to the compressor 21 through the air inlet pipe 31 and compressed by the compressor 21, it can be transmitted to the air outlet pipe 32 so that the air in the air outlet pipe 32 can be cooled by the water outlet pipe 11.

[0037] In an embodiment where the water outlet pipe 11 is coupled to both the air outlet pipe 32 and the air inlet pipe 31, after air enters the air inlet pipe 31, the air in the air inlet pipe 31 can undergo a first-step cooling process through the water outlet pipe 11. Then, the air is transmitted to the compressor 21 through the air inlet pipe 31. After the compressor 21 compresses the air and transmits it to the air outlet pipe 32, the water outlet pipe 11 can perform a second-step cooling process on the air in the air outlet pipe 32 to cool the air entering the oxygen generator 22.

[0038] It should be noted that in this application, the water outlet pipe 11 may be coupled only to the air inlet pipe 31 or only to the air outlet pipe 32, or it may be coupled to both the air inlet pipe 31 and the air outlet pipe 32.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the airflow duct 30 also includes a heat dissipation assembly 80. Both the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 are installed on the heat dissipation assembly 80, and the air outlet pipe 32 is coupled to the water outlet pipe 11 via the heat dissipation assembly 80. Specifically, the air outlet pipe 32 can be connected via the heat dissipation assembly 80, and the water outlet pipe can be connected via the heat dissipation assembly 80. That is, the airflow in the air outlet pipe 32 can pass through the heat dissipation assembly 80 before being transmitted to the oxygen generator 22, and the water flow in the water outlet pipe 11 can be discharged after passing through the heat dissipation assembly. Alternatively, the heat dissipation assembly 80 can be installed on the side wall of both the air outlet pipe 32 and the water outlet pipe 11.

[0040] In this embodiment, both the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 are installed on the heat dissipation assembly 80, and the air outlet pipe 32 is coupled to the water outlet pipe 11 via the heat dissipation assembly 80. That is, when air is introduced into the oxygen production system through the air outlet pipe 32, the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 can cool the air in the air outlet pipe 32 through the heat dissipation assembly 80.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioning oxygen generator further includes a second encapsulation module 42, within which a heat dissipation component 80 is located. Specifically, both the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 are installed within the heat dissipation component 80. To effectively improve the heat exchange efficiency of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32, the heat dissipation component 80 can be housed within the second encapsulation module 42. After the water outlet pipe 11 is coupled to the air outlet pipe 32 via the heat dissipation component 80, the second encapsulation module 42 is fitted onto the outer walls of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32, thereby insulating the low-temperature condensate from the water outlet pipe 11. This enhances the heat exchange between the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 and the air in the air outlet pipe 32, ensuring that the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 can quickly cool the air in the air outlet pipe 32. Since both the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 are installed within the heat dissipation component 80, the second encapsulation module 42 can completely enclose the heat dissipation component 80. The second encapsulation module 42 can specifically be a pipe. When the pipe is sleeved on the outer wall of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32, flexible insulation material can be installed inside the pipe. This allows the pipe and the flexible insulation material to insulate the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32, reducing the temperature loss of the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 and thus enhancing the efficiency of the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 in cooling the air in the air outlet pipe 32. In other embodiments, the second encapsulation module 42 can also be configured as other insulation devices, which can be set according to actual needs. This application does not impose specific limitations here.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the air conditioning unit 10 may include an indoor unit 71 and an outdoor unit 72. An oxygen generator 20 is installed inside the outdoor unit 72. The water outlet pipe 11 includes a first section 111 and a second section 112. The first section 111 is located outside the indoor unit 71 and the outdoor unit 72, and at least a portion of the first section 111 is coupled to the air inlet pipe 31. The second section 112 is located inside the oxygen generator 20 and is coupled to at least a portion of the air outlet pipe 32. A second encapsulation module 42 is disposed inside the oxygen generator 22. The heat dissipation assembly 80 includes a mounting member 81 and heat dissipation fins 82. The heat dissipation fins 82 are disposed on the mounting member 81. The second section 112 and at least a portion of the air outlet pipe 32 are located inside the mounting member 81 and coupled thereto. Specifically, the mounting member 81 may be integrally formed, meaning that the second section 112 of the water outlet pipe 11 and the second section 112 of the air outlet pipe 32 are installed inside the mounting member 81.

[0043] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting component 81 may specifically include a first mounting part 811 and a second mounting part 812. The second section 112 of the water outlet pipe 11 may be installed in the first mounting part 811, and the air outlet pipe 32 may be installed in the second mounting part 812. The first mounting part 811 and the second mounting part 812 are coupled together to achieve heat exchange between the air outlet pipe 32 and the water outlet pipe 11. Furthermore, the heat dissipation fins 82 may be disposed between the first mounting part 811 and the second mounting part 812 to enhance heat exchange between the first mounting part 811 and the second mounting part 812.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the first segment 111 of the water outlet pipe 11 is coupled to the air inlet pipe 31, and the coupling position can be located within the first encapsulation module 41. Specifically, the first segment 111 and the air inlet pipe 31 satisfy at least one of the following conditions: 1) The first segment 111 is configured as a flexible metal pipe, so that when the air inlet pipe 31 is coupled to the water outlet pipe 11, the first segment 111 can be wound around the air inlet pipe 31; 2) The air inlet pipe 31 is configured as a flexible metal pipe, that is, when the air inlet pipe 31 is coupled to the water outlet pipe 11, the air inlet pipe 31 can be wound around the water outlet pipe 11; 3) The first segment 111 is configured as a flexible metal pipe, so that the first segment 111 can also be wound around the air inlet pipe 31; 4) The air inlet pipe 31 is configured as a flexible metal pipe, so that the air inlet pipe 31 can be wound around the water outlet pipe 11. That is, the air inlet pipe 31 is set as a flexible metal pipe, or the water outlet pipe 11 is set as a flexible metal pipe, or both the air inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 11 are set as flexible metal pipes. Thus, when the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 are coupled, the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 can be fixed by winding, which effectively improves the installation efficiency and heat conduction efficiency. Further, 5) the first segment 111 and the air inlet pipe 31 are at least partially nested, thereby realizing heat dissipation between the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31; 6) the first segment 111 and the air inlet pipe 31 are at least partially wound; 7) the first segment 111 and the air inlet pipe 31 are at least partially welded; 8) a heat-conducting medium is provided between the first segment 111 and the air inlet pipe 31, so that heat exchange between the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 can be completed through the heat-conducting medium. The first segment 111 of the water outlet pipe 11 can be fixed to the air inlet pipe 31 in any form, such as by winding or nesting. Alternatively, the first segment 111 can be directly fixed to the air inlet pipe 31 by welding. Or, the first segment 111 of the water outlet pipe 11 can be attached to the air inlet pipe 31 by nesting or winding, and then fixed by welding, thus ensuring heat exchange between the air inlet pipe 31 and the water outlet pipe 11. In other embodiments, other heat exchange methods can also be used, which are not specifically limited here. That is, when the air conditioning oxygen generator is working, heat exchange can occur between the first segment 111 of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31, allowing the low-temperature condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 to quickly cool the air in the air inlet pipe 31.

[0045] In this embodiment, the second section 112 of the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 are both disposed on the heat dissipation assembly 80. Thus, when the condensate in the water outlet pipe 11 flows to the second section 112, it can exchange heat with the air in the air outlet pipe 32 through the heat dissipation assembly 80, thereby further cooling the air in the air outlet pipe 30.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 includes an indoor unit 71 and an outdoor unit 72. The air inlet of the air inlet pipe 31 can be located inside the indoor unit 71 to draw in indoor air. This effectively increases the coupling length between the water outlet pipe 11 and the first section 111 of the air inlet pipe 31, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency between the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31 and ensuring efficient cooling of the air inside the air inlet pipe 31. The second section 112 of the water outlet pipe 11 is located inside the outdoor unit 72, specifically within the oxygen generator 20 of the outdoor unit 72. This allows for heat exchange between the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32 to cool the air inside the air outlet pipe 32.

[0047] In other embodiments, the first segment 111 of the water outlet pipe 11 is coupled to the air inlet pipe 31, that is, the first segment 111 of the water outlet pipe 11 can be wound, nested, or fitted with the air inlet pipe 31, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency between the water outlet pipe 11 and the air inlet pipe 31. Correspondingly, the second segment 112 of the water outlet pipe 11 can also be wound, nested, or fitted with the air outlet pipe 32 to improve the heat exchange efficiency between the water outlet pipe 11 and the air outlet pipe 32.

[0048] It should be noted that when the compressor 21 compresses the air, the temperature of the compressed gas produced is relatively high. Therefore, when the compressed gas is first transmitted to the outlet pipe 32 after the compressor 21 compresses the air, the gaseous water in the compressed gas may condense due to the cold.

[0049] Based on this, the airflow duct 30 in this application also includes a gas-liquid separator 321, which is connected to the outlet pipe 32. The outlet pipe 32 is connected to the air inlet of the oxygen concentrator 22 via the gas-liquid separator 321. That is, when the compressor 21 generates compressed gas and transmits it to the outlet pipe 32, if there is gaseous water in the compressed gas that condenses upon cooling, the gas-liquid separator 321 can separate the liquid water in the outlet pipe 32, thereby preventing the liquid water from directly entering the oxygen concentrator 22.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the airflow duct 30 further includes a filter element 50 disposed within the air intake pipe 31. It should be noted that air contains impurities such as moisture, carbon dioxide, and dust, in addition to nitrogen and oxygen. Therefore, by placing the filter element 50 within the air intake pipe 31, impurities in the air can be filtered out, thereby protecting the compressor 21.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, when the air conditioning oxygen generator 20 is operating, the low-temperature condensate generated by the indoor unit of the air conditioning unit 10 during cooling can be discharged through the outlet pipe 11. Furthermore, when air is transmitted to the intake pipe 31, the low-temperature condensate in the first section 111 of the outlet pipe 11 can cool the air in the intake pipe 31. The air is then transmitted to the compressor 21 for compression, and the compressed air is transmitted to the outlet pipe 32. The air in the outlet pipe 32 can transfer heat to the second section 112 of the outlet pipe 11 via the heat dissipation component 80, and the condensate in the second section 112 carries away and discharges the heat, thus cooling the air in the outlet pipe 32. Before transmitting the air to the oxygen generator 22, the gas and liquid can be separated by the gas-liquid separator 321 to prevent liquid water from being directly transmitted to the oxygen generator 22.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 can be specifically installed indoors, and the air inlet of the airflow duct 30 can be located indoors. The corresponding oxygen generating unit 20 can be installed outdoors, and the air outlet of the oxygen generating unit 20 can be located indoors. That is, when the air conditioning oxygen generating equipment is working, the oxygen generating unit 20 can obtain indoor air, and then transmit oxygen to the room after oxygen generation by the oxygen generating unit 20, so as to increase the oxygen content in the room.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioning unit 10 is equipped with a detection device 12, and the oxygen exhaust port of the oxygen generating unit 20 is connected to an oxygen exhaust pipe 23, with the outlet of the oxygen exhaust pipe 23 corresponding to the detection device 12. That is, after the oxygen generating unit 20 completes oxygen generation, it can be transmitted to the room through the oxygen exhaust pipe 23. Since the outlet of the oxygen exhaust pipe 23 corresponds to the detection device 12, the detection device 12 can detect the oxygen generated by the oxygen generating unit 20, thereby obtaining the amount of oxygen produced by the oxygen generating unit 20. Furthermore, the detection device 12 is coupled to the oxygen generating unit 20, allowing control of the amount of oxygen supplied to the room by the oxygen generating unit 20.

[0054] In this embodiment, the detection device 12 is coupled to the oxygen generating device 20 and can be specifically used to control the on / off of the oxygen generating device 20 and the oxygen exhaust pipe 23. That is, after the detection device 12 detects that the oxygen exhaust amount of the oxygen generating device 20 reaches the preset amount, in order to avoid the situation of oxygen enrichment, the oxygen exhaust pipe 23 can be closed to disconnect the passage for oxygen to be discharged into the room. At this time, the oxygen generated by the oxygen generating device 20 can be stored in the gas storage tank.

[0055] In other embodiments, the detection device 12 may also be used to detect the oxygen content in the room. If the oxygen content in the room reaches the condition of being oxygen-rich, the oxygen exhaust pipe 23 can be closed to disconnect the passage for oxygen to be discharged into the room. At this time, the oxygen generated by the oxygen generating device 20 can be stored in the storage tank.

[0056] Unlike existing technologies, the second aspect of this application also discloses a smart home, including an air-conditioning oxygen generator, which is any of the air-conditioning oxygen generators described in the above embodiments. Specifically, the smart home device can be an oxygen-generating air conditioner, or other devices or equipment capable of producing low-temperature condensate; no specific limitation is made here.

[0057] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
