[0158] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated 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 intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0159] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. Additionally, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0160] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a humidification module 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0161] See Figure 1 or Figure 3 The humidification module 100 includes a water tray 1 and a float switch 6. The water tray 1 has a first water pool 111 inside. The water tray 1 includes a side plate 161, which helps to define the first water pool 111. The inner side of the side plate 161 faces the first water pool 111, and the outer side of the side plate 161 faces away from the first water pool 111. The float switch 6 is disposed in the water tray 1 and includes a float element 61 and a Hall effect switch element 62 respectively disposed on the inner and outer sides of the side plate 161. The float element 61 is located inside the first water pool 111, and the Hall effect switch element 62 is located outside the first water pool 111. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2or Figure 4 A magnet 611 is provided on the side of the float component 61 facing the Hall switch component 62, and a chip 621 is provided on the side of the Hall switch component 62 facing the float component 61.
[0162] In related technologies, the humidification module of an air conditioner supplies water to the wet film assembly through a water tank. The water supply and stop of the water tank are generally controlled by a float switch. The float component of the float switch is set in the water tank to detect the water level, which makes the installation and maintenance of the float component relatively difficult.
[0163] In this technical solution, the float switch 6 is located in the water tank 1, wherein the float component 61 is located inside the first water pool 111, and the Hall switch component 62 is located outside the first water pool 111. Once the float switch 6 malfunctions due to long-term use or other reasons and needs to be maintained or replaced, the operator can operate the float switch 6 from the water tank 1 without operating the water tank, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the float switch 6 and thus significantly improves the convenience of maintenance.
[0164] For example, the top of the first water tank 111 is open, so that when the float component 61 needs maintenance or replacement, the operator can reach into the first water tank 111 through the open top of the first water tank 111 to operate the float component 61 directly without complicated disassembly or additional work, which is beneficial to the maintenance of the float component 61 and thus significantly improves the convenience of maintenance.
[0165] When the Hall switch 62 malfunctions, since the Hall switch 62 is located outside the first water tank 111, the operator does not need to empty the entire first water tank 111 when performing maintenance or replacement. This avoids the cumbersome steps and time consumption caused by emptying the water tank, simplifies the maintenance process, and further improves the efficiency and convenience of maintenance.
[0166] Moreover, since the Hall switch 62 is located outside the first water tank 111, the chip 621 of the Hall switch 62 is effectively prevented from directly contacting the water, reducing electrical faults or safety hazards caused by water immersion.
[0167] The float 61 moves with the rise and fall of the water level. Through non-contact sensing between the magnet 611 and the chip 621 in the Hall effect switch 62, accurate water level detection is achieved, reducing the failure rate caused by mechanical wear or contact corrosion and improving system stability and lifespan. In summary, this technical solution, by placing the float switch 6 on the water tray 1, not only ensures the normal operation of the equipment but also significantly optimizes subsequent maintenance, providing users with a more convenient experience.
[0168] In the embodiments of this application, see Figure 4The float 61 can float up and down with the change of water level in the first pool 111. When the water level rises, the float 61 rises accordingly; conversely, when the water level falls, the float 61 falls. See also Figure 15 A magnet 611 is installed on the side of the float 61 near the side plate 161, and a chip 621 capable of sensing changes in the magnetic field is installed on the side of the Hall switch 62 near the side plate 161. When the float 61 rises or falls with the water level, the distance between the magnet 611 and the Hall switch 62 will also change. Thus, the chip 621 in the Hall switch 62 can sense this change in magnetic field distance and convert it into an electrical signal, which is transmitted through the wire 63 to realize the judgment of the water level in the first pool 111.
[0169] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The distance A between magnet 611 and chip 621 is less than or equal to 5mm.
[0170] In the above technical solution, by making the distance A between the magnet 611 and the chip 621 less than or equal to 5mm, interference can be reduced, the sensitivity of the Hall switch detection can be improved, and precise control of the water level can be achieved.
[0171] In the embodiments of this application, the distance A between the magnet 611 and the chip 621 refers to the straight-line distance between the end face of the magnet 611 near the side plate 161 and the sensing surface of the chip 621 near the side plate 161.
[0172] In the embodiments of this application, the spacing A is less than or equal to 5 mm. For example, the spacing A can be 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, etc.
[0173] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 The outer side of the side panel 161 has an external mounting base 171, see [reference]. Figure 6 A groove 1711 is formed at the outer mounting base 171. The extension direction of the groove 1711 is parallel to that of the side plate 161. One end of the groove 1711 is open to form a slot 17110. The Hall switch 62 is inserted into the groove 1711 through the slot 17110 along the extension direction of the groove 1711 so that the outer mounting base 171 prevents the Hall switch 62 from moving in the direction from the inside to the outside of the side plate 161.
[0174] In the above technical solution, since one end of the slide 1711 is open to form the slot 17110 and the guide function of the slide 1711, the Hall switch 62 can be inserted into the outer mounting base 171 from the outside and obtain the limit of the outer mounting base 171. Therefore, there is no need for complicated assembly steps or tools, which simplifies the operation process, improves the installation and disassembly efficiency, and reduces maintenance costs.
[0175] The outer mounting base 171 serves as a support structure for the slide groove 1711, effectively preventing the Hall switch 62 from moving along the direction from the inside to the outside of the side plate 161, ensuring that the Hall switch 62 will not move or fall off after insertion.
[0176] Compared to the traditional method of fixing Hall switch components using a double-snap structure, the design of the slide groove 1711 in this embodiment of the invention not only reduces the number of fixing components, but also improves the stability and reliability of the Hall switch component 62 installation through the cooperation between the outer mounting base 171 with the slide groove 1711 and the Hall switch component 62, thus solving the problems of unstable fixing by double snaps and unreliability caused by easy damage to double snaps.
[0177] In the embodiments of this application, the extension direction of the groove 1711 is parallel to the side plate 161, that is, parallel to the surface of the side plate 161 (i.e., the two sides in the thickness direction). For example, the extension direction of the groove 1711 can be horizontal, vertical or inclined.
[0178] For example, the extension direction of the groove 1711 is Figure 5 The front and rear directions shown in the figure are horizontal directions; the front end of the slide 1711 in the front and rear directions is open to form a slot 17110, and the Hall switch 62 is inserted into the slide 1711 from the slot 17110 along the front to back direction of the slide 1711.
[0179] In the embodiments of this application, the slide 1711 can be defined solely by the outer mounting base 171, that is, all boundaries of the slide 1711 are formed by the outer mounting base 171 and are not directly related to the side plate 161; or, the slide 1711 can also be defined jointly by the side plate 161 and the outer mounting base 171, that is, a portion of the boundary of the slide 1711 is formed by the side plate 161 and another portion is formed by the outer mounting base 171.
[0180] For example, such as Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the extension direction of the slide 1711 is the front-to-back direction. The side of the outer mounting base 171 near the side plate 161 is formed by the side plate 161, and the remaining side is formed by the outer mounting base 171. The front side of the outer mounting base 171 is open to form a slot 17110. The Hall switch 62 is inserted into the slide 1711 from the slot 17110 along the front-to-back direction of the slide 1711.
[0181] In the embodiments of this application, the side plate 161 has an outer mounting base 171 on its outer side. The connection method between the side plate 161 and the outer mounting base 171 is not limited. For example, it can be fixed with screws, snap-fit connection, etc., which facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the outer mounting base 171; it can also be integrally formed connection to enhance the stability and reliability of the structure.
[0182] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The external mounting base 171 includes a stop portion 1712, which extends along the extension direction of the slide groove 1711. The slide groove 1711 is formed between the stop portion 1712 and the side plate 161. The stop portion 1712 stops the Hall switch 62 on the side away from the side plate 161.
[0183] In the above technical solution, the stop portion 1712 extends along the extension direction of the slide groove 1711. Specifically, the extension direction of the slide groove 1711 is... Figure 5 As shown in the diagram, the stop portion 1712 extends in the front-to-back direction. When the Hall switch 62 is inserted from front to back along the slide groove 1711, the stop portion 1712 provides a guiding effect, making the installation process smoother. The stop portion 1712 effectively stops the Hall switch 62 on the side away from the side plate 161, preventing the Hall switch 62 from shifting or falling off when subjected to external forces, thus improving the stability and reliability of the entire installation structure.
[0184] In the embodiments of this application, the stop portion 1712 stops the Hall switch 62 on the side away from the side plate 161. The stop portion 1712 can directly contact the side of the Hall switch 62 to form a limiting structure, or the stop portion 1712 can indirectly contact the Hall switch 62 through a rubber pad or the like to form a limiting and buffering effect.
[0185] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The slide groove 1711 extends in a horizontal direction. The outer mounting base 171 includes a blocking portion 1713, which extends along the extension direction of the slide groove 1711 and blocks the Hall switch 62.
[0186] In the above technical solution, the extension direction of the slide groove 1711 is horizontal, which allows the Hall switch 62 to be inserted and positioned horizontally. This allows a shielding part 1713 to be provided above the outer mounting base 171, and the shielding part 1713 to extend horizontally. The shielding part 1713 can shield the Hall switch 62, effectively preventing external impurities such as dust and moisture from entering the working area of the Hall switch 62, thereby extending the service life and reliability of the Hall switch 62.
[0187] The slide 1711 extends horizontally, allowing the Hall switch 62 to be inserted and positioned horizontally. This installation method facilitates installation and maintenance by operators, reducing installation difficulty and cost.
[0188] The shielding part 1713 not only provides protection, but also enhances the overall structural stability of the external mounting base 171 and improves the problem of displacement or detachment of the Hall switch 62 due to vibration or external force during operation.
[0189] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6 The outer side of the side plate 161 has an outer mounting base 171, which includes a first limiting structure 1714. The Hall switch 62 has a second limiting structure 622 that cooperates with the first limiting structure 1714. The second limiting structure 622 is only provided on the side of the Hall switch 62 facing the side plate 161.
[0190] In the above technical solution, by setting an external mounting base 171 on the outside of the side plate 161 and setting a first limiting structure 1714 on the external mounting base 171, and simultaneously configuring a second limiting structure 622 matching the first limiting structure 1714 on the Hall switch 62, and setting the second limiting structure 622 only on the side of the Hall switch 62 facing the side plate 161, the orientation of the Hall switch 62 during installation is accurate, that is, the chip 621 of the Hall switch 62 can be accurately oriented towards the float 61, thereby avoiding the problem of the Hall switch 62 being installed backwards. The limiting cooperation of the first limiting structure 1714 and the second limiting structure 622 can effectively prevent the Hall switch 62 from being misoperated during the installation process.
[0191] Furthermore, the limiting cooperation of the first limiting structure 1714 and the second limiting structure 622 can improve the accuracy of the Hall switch 62 installation position and improve problems such as misalignment and tilting during the installation of the Hall switch 62, thereby avoiding damage or performance degradation caused by improper installation.
[0192] In addition, the introduction of the limiting structure enhances the stability of the fit between the Hall switch 62 and the external mounting base 171, making the entire structure more reliable and able to resist the influence of external vibrations and impacts on the Hall switch 62.
[0193] In the embodiments of this application, the first limiting structure 1714 and the second limiting structure 622 cooperate to limit and fix the Hall switch 62 in any way. For example, the first limiting structure 1714 and the second limiting structure 622 can be a limiting block and a limiting groove; or a limiting hole and a limiting post; or an elastic limiting piece and a corresponding limiting groove surface, etc.
[0194] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 6The external mounting base 171 includes a first limiting structure 1714 disposed within a slide groove 1711. The Hall switch 62 has a second limiting structure 622 that engages with the first limiting structure 1714. The first limiting structure 1714 is disposed only on the side of the Hall switch 62 facing the side plate 161. See [reference needed] Figure 6 and Figure 7 One of the first limiting structure 1714 and the second limiting structure 622 is formed as a strip groove extending along the extension direction of the slide groove 1711, and the other is fitted in the strip groove and slides along the extension direction of the strip groove.
[0195] The sliding fit between the strip groove and the mating structure allows the Hall switch 62 to be installed along a predetermined direction during installation, avoiding incorrect installation and improving installation accuracy and production efficiency.
[0196] The sliding fit between the strip groove and the mating structure makes the installation process of the Hall switch 62 simpler. Operators can achieve quick and accurate installation without performing complicated positioning and fixing operations, thus improving production efficiency.
[0197] In the embodiments of this application, one of the first limiting structure 1714 and the second limiting structure 622 is formed as a strip-shaped groove extending along the extension direction of the slide groove 1711, and the other slides within the strip-shaped groove along the extension direction of the strip-shaped groove. The first limiting structure 1714 can be a strip-shaped groove opened on the outer mounting base 171, and the second limiting structure 622 can be a sliding block or sliding strip provided on the Hall switch 62. The Hall switch 62 achieves the limiting engagement with the first limiting structure 1714 by sliding the sliding block or sliding strip within the strip-shaped groove. Alternatively, the second limiting structure 622 can be a strip-shaped groove, and the first limiting structure 1714 can be a sliding block or sliding strip that cooperates with it. The outer mounting base 171 achieves the limiting engagement with the second limiting structure 622 by sliding the sliding structure within the strip-shaped groove.
[0198] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The second limiting structure 622 is formed as a strip groove, and the first limiting structure 1714 is formed as a strip protrusion extending along the extension direction of the strip groove.
[0199] The combination of the strip protrusion and the strip groove can provide a more stable limiting effect. Compared with other limiting structures, such as the combination of the sliding block and the strip groove, this design is more resistant to external vibration or impact, and improves the stability and reliability of the Hall switch 62 and the external mounting base 171.
[0200] Furthermore, the tight fit between the strip protrusion and the strip groove during installation reduces accidental movement of the Hall switch 62, thereby simplifying subsequent assembly and fixing steps and improving assembly smoothness.
[0201] For example, see Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first limiting structure 1714 includes a first protruding section 17141 and a second protruding section 17142 arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the slide groove 1711. The second protruding section 17142 is connected to the side of the first protruding section 17141 near the groove opening 17110, and the protrusion height of the second protruding section 17142 relative to the side plate 161 gradually decreases in the direction near the groove opening 17110.
[0202] When the Hall switch 62 is installed into the slide groove 1711, the strip groove first engages with the second protrusion 17142 and then with the first protrusion 17141. Since the second protrusion 17142 is formed in a shape where the thickness gradually decreases towards the groove opening 17110, it is easier for the second protrusion 17142 to be inserted into the strip groove, thereby facilitating the smooth insertion of the Hall switch 62 into the slide groove 1711 and improving the assembly efficiency of the Hall switch 62.
[0203] Furthermore, the protrusion height of the first protrusion segment 17141 relative to the side plate 161 is not limited; it can be of equal thickness or of variable thickness.
[0204] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 The outer mounting base 171 has an elastic limiting structure 1715 at the slot 17110. The elastic limiting structure 1715 stops the Hall switch 62 to prevent the Hall switch 62 from exiting from the slot 17110, that is, from exiting from the slide groove 1711 in the opposite direction to the direction in which the Hall switch 62 is inserted into the slide groove 1711.
[0205] In the above technical solution, the elastic limiting structure 1715 can firmly lock the Hall switch 62, preventing it from accidentally falling off due to vibration or external force during operation, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire humidification module 100.
[0206] Due to the presence of the elastic limiting structure 1715, the Hall switch 62 only needs to be pushed into the slide groove 1711 during installation. When it reaches the predetermined position, the elastic limiting structure 1715 will automatically lock the Hall switch 62 without any additional fixing steps, thus simplifying the installation process. When it is necessary to disassemble or replace the Hall switch 62, only a slight external force needs to be applied to cause the elastic limiting structure 1715 to deform in the opposite direction, thereby releasing the locking and limiting of the Hall switch 62 and allowing the Hall switch 62 to exit from the slide groove 1711, which facilitates subsequent disassembly and maintenance.
[0207] In the embodiments of this application, the elastic limiting structure 1715 is not limited, and can be designed as a spring sheet, elastic buckle, etc.
[0208] In some embodiments, see Figure 2 and Figure 6 The elastic limiting structure 1715 is formed as an elastic cantilever. One end of the elastic cantilever is a fixed end and is fixed at the slot 17110. The other end is a free end and extends inclinedly toward the inside of the slide groove 1711 along the insertion direction of the Hall switch 62. The free end of the elastic cantilever abuts against the side end face of the Hall switch 62 facing the slot 17110, and the area of the Hall switch 62 that is abutted has a dimension B of 1.5mm-2.5mm in the elastic swing direction of the elastic cantilever.
[0209] In the above technical solution, the free end of the elastic cantilever can firmly hold the Hall switch 62, preventing it from accidentally falling off during operation due to vibration or external force. Because the elastic cantilever has a certain degree of elasticity, it can adapt to the slight movement of the Hall switch 62 during insertion, thereby ensuring a tighter limiting effect.
[0210] The inclined extension of the flexible cantilever allows the Hall switch 62 to pass through the slot 17110 more smoothly when inserted into the slide 1711, reducing friction and resistance during installation. Simultaneously, when the Hall switch 62 reaches the predetermined position, the flexible cantilever automatically engages the Hall switch 62, eliminating the need for additional fixing steps and simplifying the installation process.
[0211] By setting the dimension B of the area where the Hall switch 62 is stopped in the elastic swing direction of the elastic cantilever to 1.5mm-2.5mm, the Hall switch 62 can be stably limited while also facilitating the reverse deformation of the elastic limiting structure 1715 to disassemble the Hall switch 62. For example, the dimension B can be 1.5mm, 1.7mm, 2.0mm, 2.2mm, or 2.5mm.
[0212] For example, the slot 17110 is located at the front end of the slide groove 1711, and the front end face of the Hall switch 62 after installation is abutted by the rear end of the elastic cantilever, the swing direction of the elastic cantilever being... Figure 2 In the left-right direction shown, the front end of the elastic cantilever is a fixed end fixed to the end of the slot 17110 away from the side plate 161 (e.g., fixed to the left end of the slot 17110), and the rear end is a free end that extends backward toward the side plate 161 at an angle (i.e., to the right). The rear end of the elastic cantilever abuts against the area of the front end face of the Hall switch 62 away from the side plate 161 (e.g., the left side area of the front end face). The dimension B of the front end face of the Hall switch 62 being abutted by the rear end of the elastic cantilever in the left-right direction is 1.5mm-2.5mm.
[0213] For example, when it is necessary to disassemble the Hall switch 62, a flat tool can be used to push the elastic cantilever from front to back through the slot 17110 so that the rear end of the elastic cantilever swings back in a direction away from the side plate 161, thereby releasing the jamming on the Hall switch 62, so that the Hall switch 62 can be pulled forward from the slide groove 1711 by the wire 63.
[0214] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 The water tray 1 includes a front portion 11 that extends in a left-right direction and defines a first water pool 111. The length of the first water pool 111 is in the left-right direction. One end of the left and right ends of the front portion 11 is a blank area 1121 located at one end of the length of the first water pool 111. A side plate 161 is provided at one end of the first water pool 111 near the blank area 1121. See [reference needed] Figure 9 The chute 1711 extends in the front-to-back direction and has an open front end forming a slot 17110.
[0215] In the above technical solution, the front part 11 of the water tray extends in the left and right direction to form a first water pool 111 with the length direction in the left and right direction. The empty area 1121 is located at one end of the length direction of the first water pool 111. This layout effectively utilizes the space, making the entire water tray 1 compact and functional, and only occupies the space in the left and right direction, reducing the space occupation in the front and back directions.
[0216] By providing a side plate 161 at one end of the first water tank 111 near the open area 1121, and an outer mounting base 171 on the outside of the side plate 161, a sliding groove 1711 extending in the front-rear direction is formed in the side plate 161 and the outer mounting base 171. The Hall switch 62 can easily slide into place along the sliding groove 1711 and be firmly installed in a predetermined position by the elastic limiting structure 1715 or other fixing methods. It can also be easily disassembled for maintenance or replacement.
[0217] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The external mounting base 171 is recessed relative to the front surface of the front part 11 of the water tray. The empty area 1121 is provided with a clearance notch 1122 in front of the external mounting base 171. The Hall switch 62 extends into the slot 17110 through the clearance notch 1122. The water tray 1 also includes a second side 14, which extends rearward from the empty area 1121. The outer surface of the second side 14 is provided with a wire buckle structure 181. The empty area 1121 is provided with a wire blocking structure 1123 on the side of the clearance notch 1122 near the wire buckle structure 181. The Hall switch 62 has a wire 63 extending forward from the slot 17110. The wire 63 extends to the outside of the second side 14 behind the wire blocking structure 1123 and is limited by the wire buckle structure 181.
[0218] In the above technical solution, the wire 63 is led out from the front of the Hall switch 62, which facilitates the arrangement of the wire 3 when installing the Hall switch 62, and also facilitates the removal of the Hall switch 62 by pulling the wire 63 forward.
[0219] In the above technical solution, the outer mounting base 171 is recessed relative to the front surface of the front part 11 of the water pan, and the empty area 1121 is provided with a clearance notch 1122 in front of the outer mounting base 171, which provides sufficient space for the installation of the Hall switch 62 and avoids the outer mounting base 171 from protruding from the front part 11 of the water pan. This makes the overall structure more compact and coordinated, and also helps to protect the Hall switch 62 from being bumped and damaged by protruding forward. On the other hand, the design of the clearance notch 1122 provides space for the Hall switch 62 to be inserted into the slot 17110 from the rear and to be pulled out from the slot 17110 from the front, which meets the needs of disassembling and assembling the Hall switch 62 in the front-rear direction.
[0220] The wire clip structure 181 and the wire-blocking structure 1123 provided on the second side 14 work together to effectively regulate the routing of the wire 63, preventing the wire 63 extending from the Hall switch 62 from being squeezed by other components. The wire 63 extends to the outside of the second side 14 behind the wire-blocking structure 1123 and is limited by the wire clip structure 181, preventing the wire 63 from being messy and improving the overall neatness and safety.
[0221] The wire-blocking structure 1123 not only serves to store the wire 63, but also provides additional support and fixing points, which helps to prevent the Hall switch 62 and its wire 63 from loosening or falling off during long-term use.
[0222] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 The wire buckle structure 181 includes a wire routing buckle 1811 and a wire blocking rib 1812. The wire routing buckle 1811 extends outward from the second side 14 and the extended end bends downward to form an anti-disengagement hook 18110. The wire blocking rib 1812 is located in front of the wire routing buckle 1811. The wire 63 is supported above the wire blocking rib 1812 and runs below the wire routing buckle 1811. The wire 63 is limited between the anti-disengagement hook 18110 and the second side 14.
[0223] In the above technical solution, through the cooperation of the cable clip 1811 and the cable retainer 1812, the wire 63 is securely fixed on a specific path, reducing the risk of the wire 63 loosening or falling off, and effectively preventing short circuits or open circuits caused by the wire 63 shaking; at the same time, it helps save space. In addition, the anti-detachment hook 18110 enhances the stability of the wire 63 fixation, maintaining a good fixation effect even after long-term use, extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, the wire 63 is fixed by the cable clip structure 181, making subsequent inspection, maintenance, or replacement of the wire 63 more convenient, without spending a lot of time untangling the complex wire 63.
[0224] For example, such as Figure 8 As shown, one or more sets of cable clips 1811 and cable retaining ribs 1812 can be provided on the second side 14. For example, two sets can be provided, located at the front and rear ends of the second side 14 respectively. The two sets of cable clip structures 181 provide more fixing points for the wires 63, increasing the stability of the wires 63 and improving the safety and reliability of the equipment. By providing cable clip structures 181 at both the front and rear ends of the second side 14, the wires 63 can be stored more effectively, so that the wires 63 are arranged in an orderly manner inside the equipment or components, reducing mess and tangling, and improving the overall aesthetics and neatness.
[0225] In addition, in some embodiments, when the humidification module 100 also has other wires, such as the wires of the valve switch 5 described later, they can also be extended here together with the wire 63, thereby further simplifying the wiring and connection.
[0226] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 and Figure 42 The front part 11 of the water tray includes a cover plate 1124 located above the empty area 1121, and the cover plate 1124 is located above the outer mounting base 171.
[0227] In the above technical solution, the shielding cover 1124 can prevent external debris, dust or moisture from entering the outer mounting base 171 through the open area 1121 and interfering with the chip 621 of the Hall switch 62; thus improving the durability and sensitivity of the float switch 6.
[0228] The cover plate 1124 is located above the outer mounting base 171, which plays a certain protective role for the outer mounting base 171 and prevents the outer mounting base 171 from being deformed or damaged due to external forces.
[0229] In the embodiments of this application, "the cover plate 1124 is disposed above the outer mounting base 171" means above the outer mounting base 171, that is, the cover plate 1124 covers the top of the outer mounting base 171.
[0230] The connection method between the cover plate 1124 and the front part 11 of the water tray is not limited. For example, it can be bolted, snap-fitted, glued, or integrally molded.
[0231] For example, see Figure 9 The cover plate 1124 is a rectangular plate structure located above the open area 1121. The cover plate 1124 extends from the side plate 161 toward the direction away from the first water tank 111 and completely covers the top of the outer mounting base 171 to protect the outer mounting base 171. The cover plate 1124 and the side plate 161 are an integrated structure, which reduces the number of parts, simplifies the installation process, and improves the stability of the overall structure.
[0232] In some embodiments, see Figures 10-15 The water tray 1 includes an inner mounting base 172, and a floating cavity 1724 is formed in the inner mounting base 172, which opens toward the side plate 161. The inner mounting base 172 is located in the first water tank 111. The inner side of the side plate 161 has a third limiting structure 1611, which is matched with the inner mounting base 172 to prevent the inner mounting base 172 from moving in the direction from the outside to the inside of the side plate 161. The float 61 floats in the floating cavity 1724.
[0233] In the above technical solution, a floating cavity 1724 is formed inside the inner mounting base 172, opening towards the side plate 161. The float component 61 is installed through the opening 2214 of the floating cavity 1724 towards the side plate 161. The third limiting structure 1611 cooperates with the inner side of the side plate 161 to limit the movement of the float component 61 from the outside to the inside of the side plate 161, ensuring that the distance between the magnet 611 and the chip 621 is within a reasonable range, thereby enhancing the detection sensitivity. At the same time, the floating cavity 1724 is formed, in which the float component 61 can float freely up and down, ensuring the accuracy of the float component 61 during the floating process and avoiding floating deviation caused by external factors. The setting of the inner mounting base 172 makes the installation and disassembly of the float component 61 relatively simple, facilitating subsequent maintenance and replacement.
[0234] In the embodiments of this application, the form of the third limiting structure 1611 is not limited, and it can be a limiting structure such as a buckle or a bolt.
[0235] For example, the periphery of the float 61 may have a plurality of vertical ribs 612 extending in the vertical direction. By sliding the vertical ribs 612 with the surface of the floating cavity 1724, the contact area can be reduced, wear can be reduced, and the float 61 can float up and down sensitively, and the swaying of the float 61 can be reduced.
[0236] In some embodiments, see Figures 10-15The inner mounting base 172 includes a cover portion 1723 and a locking portion 1721. The locking portion 1721 is located at the top of the cover portion 1723, and a locking hole 1722 is formed between the locking portion 1721 and the cover portion 1723. A third limiting structure 1611 extends from the side plate 161 toward the inner side of the side plate 161 and passes through the locking hole 1722. The extended end of the third limiting structure 1611 has a locking protrusion 161 that extends upward and abuts against the side of the locking portion 1721 away from the side plate 161. 11, that is, the third limiting structure 1611 is connected to the side plate 161 and passes through the locking hole 1722. The end of the third limiting structure 1611 away from the side plate 161 has an upwardly extending locking protrusion 16111. The locking protrusion 16111 abuts against the side of the locking part 1721 away from the side plate 161. The inner side of the side plate 161 also has a fourth limiting structure 1612 protruding. The fourth limiting structure 1612 abuts against the top of the cover part 1723 and is placed on both sides of the locking part 1721.
[0237] In the above technical solution, the cover portion 1723 and the locking portion 1721 of the inner mounting base 172 are configured so that the locking hole 1722 can accurately cooperate with the third limiting structure 1611. The locking protrusion 16111 at the end of the third limiting structure 1611 makes the inner mounting base 172 less likely to fall off, ensuring the positioning of the inner mounting base 172 in the horizontal direction. In addition, the fourth limiting structure 1612 abuts against the top of the cover portion 1723. The cover portion 1723 accommodates the float component 61. Due to the buoyancy of the float component 61, the inner mounting base 172 has an upward force, which effectively prevents the inner mounting base 172 from moving in the vertical direction, further improving the stability of the installation and enhancing the connection strength between the inner mounting base 172 and the side plate 161, making the entire structure more stable and reliable. Furthermore, since the fourth limiting structure 1612 is placed on both sides of the locking part 1721, it can realize the positioning of the inner mounting seat 172, which is conducive to the inner mounting seat 172 quickly finding the installation position during assembly.
[0238] For example, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the third limiting structure 1611 is a buckle, and the fourth limiting structure 1612 is a retaining rib that abuts against the upper end of the cover portion 1723 and is located on both sides of the locking portion 1721. See Figure 14 The lower end of the cover part 1723 also has mounting ears on both sides, with through positioning holes for mounting. See [reference needed]. Figure 11 Two positioning posts are provided on the inner protrusion of the water tray 1. During installation, the positioning holes and positioning posts are positioned and engaged. The locking part 1721 then engages with the buckle. The baffles on both sides of the locking part 1721 vertically limit the inner mounting seat 172, firmly fixing the inner mounting seat 172. This makes the entire structure stable and reliable, ensuring the detection stability and sensitivity of the float switch 6.
[0239] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The water-holding tray 1 defines a vent 15 extending vertically. A first water tank 111 is located in front of the vent 15. A second water tank 121 is formed on the rear side of the vent 15, and the second water tank 121 is connected to the first water tank 111. (See also...) Figure 16 and Figure 17 The humidification module 100 also includes: an air duct frame 2, a wet film assembly 4, a water tank 3, and a valve switch 5. The air duct frame 2 is located above the water tray 1 and defines a bottom-open humidification air duct 211. The humidification air duct 211 is connected to the vent 15. The front part of the air duct frame 2 forms a front-open mounting cavity 2211. The bottom of the mounting cavity 2211 has an opening 2214 connecting the mounting cavity 2211 and the first water tank 111. The air duct frame 2 includes a partition 2 spaced between the mounting cavity 2211 and the humidification air duct 211. 212, an insertion port 22121 is formed on the partition plate 2212; the wet film assembly 4 extends into the humidification air duct 211 at an angle from the insertion port 22121 toward the rear and downward, and the lower end of the wet film assembly 4 extends into the second water tank 121 to draw water from the second water tank 121; the water tank 3 is disposed in the mounting cavity 2211, and the bottom of the water tank 3 has a water outlet 314 extending downward into the first water tank 111 through an opening 2214, and a water outlet valve 32 is provided on the water outlet 314; the valve switch 5 is disposed on the water tray 1 and is used to drive the water outlet valve 32 to open.
[0240] In the above technical solution, the integrated design of water tray 1, air duct frame 2, wet film assembly 4, water tank 3 and valve switch 5 makes the entire humidification module 100 compact in structure and small in space, forming an efficient, water-saving and easy-to-maintain humidification system.
[0241] The wet film assembly 4 extends obliquely into the humidification air duct 211, increasing the contact area between the wet film assembly 4 and the air. When the air flows through the wet film, the moisture is evenly evaporated into the air, ensuring the humidification effect. The design of the air duct frame 2 allows the air to pass smoothly through the humidification air duct 211 and fully contact the wet film assembly 4, further improving the humidification efficiency.
[0242] The connection between the second water tank 121 and the first water tank 111 forms a circulating water system. The water tank 3 supplies water to the first water tank 111, and the first water tank 111 supplies water to the second water tank 121. After the wet membrane component 4 absorbs water from the second water tank 121, it can continuously provide humidification to the humidification duct 211, ensuring the stability and continuity of the humidification effect.
[0243] The water outlet valve 32 installed on the water outlet 314 of the water tank 3 can precisely adjust the amount of water required for humidification by controlling the valve switch, thus avoiding the waste of water resources.
[0244] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The water tray 1 has a third water pool 131 extending in the front-back direction on at least one of the left and right sides of the vent 15. The third water pool 131 is connected to the first water pool 111 and the second water pool 121. The water tray 1 has a recessed overflow port 132 at the top of the outer wall of the third water pool 131.
[0245] In the above technical solution, a recessed overflow port 132 is formed at the top of the outer wall of the third water tank 131 of the water tank 1, which directs and orderly discharges water exceeding the maximum capacity of the water tank 1 from the water tank 1, reducing the possibility of equipment damage caused by disorderly overflow of water, improving the safe and stable operation of the humidification module 100 under abnormal conditions, and improving the reliability and maintenance convenience of the overall system.
[0246] See Figure 49 , Figure 50 , Figure 51 and Figure 52 According to a second aspect of the present invention, an air handling component 1000 includes a humidification module 100, a purification module 200, and a fresh air module 300, which are arranged sequentially along the airflow direction according to any embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention.
[0247] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the air handling component 1000, by providing the humidification module 100 of the first aspect described above, facilitates the maintenance of the float switch 6, thereby significantly improving the convenience of maintenance.
[0248] The purification module 200 is located downstream of the fresh air module 300, and the humidification module 100 is located downstream of the purification module 200. "Downstream" refers to the position reached by the airflow in the direction it passes through.
[0249] The fresh air module 300, purification module 200, and humidification module 100 can be arranged sequentially along the airflow direction. The airflow introduced by the fresh air module 300 can first flow through the purification module 200 and then through the humidification module 100. Based on the type selection and activation control of the purification module 200 and the humidification module 100, at least one of humidification and purification can be achieved.
[0250] For example, the fresh air module 300 includes a centrifugal fan with its outlet facing upward, directly sending airflow upward into the purification module 200 and the fresh air module 300.
[0251] This design allows the airflow from the centrifugal fan to flow sequentially through the purification module 200 and the humidification module 100, saving space and improving space utilization. This makes the entire system more suitable for installation in limited spaces, such as homes and offices. The centrifugal fan features large air volume and high air pressure, enabling it to quickly blow airflow towards the purification module 200 and the wet film assembly 4, overcoming their resistance and improving air handling efficiency.
[0252] See Figure 55 and Figure 56 An air conditioner 10000 according to a third aspect of the present invention includes a humidification module 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention or an air handling component 1000 according to a second aspect of the present invention.
[0253] That is, the air conditioner 10000 may include the air handling unit 1000 of the form described above, or it may not include the air handling unit 1000 of the form described above, but only include the humidification module 100. For example, the fresh air module 300 and the humidification module 100 may also be directly coupled, omitting the purification module 200.
[0254] Therefore, by adopting the humidification module 100 or the air handling unit 1000, the overall maintenance convenience of the air conditioner 10000 can be improved.
[0255] For example, when the air conditioner 10000 includes an air handling unit 1000, the air conditioner 10000 may also include a ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000. The ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000 may include a fan and a heat exchanger. When the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000 is working, the fan introduces indoor air from the air conditioner air inlet, and after the introduced air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger, it is blown out from the air conditioner air outlet and sent back to the room, thereby playing the role of regulating the indoor temperature.
[0256] The type of air conditioner 10000 is not limited. For example, it can be an integrated air conditioner (such as a kitchen air conditioner, portable air conditioner, window air conditioner, etc.) or a split air conditioner (such as a split wall-mounted unit, split floor-standing unit, etc.). Once the type of air conditioner 10000 is determined, the relative positions of the air handling unit 1000 and the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000 can be known. For example, when the air conditioner 10000 is a floor-standing unit, the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000 can be located above the air handling unit 1000.
[0257] Other components of the air conditioner 10000 according to embodiments of the present invention, such as air duct components and panel components, as well as its operation, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
[0258] The humidification module 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0259] refer to Figure 18 and Figure 19 The humidification module 100 includes a water tray 1, an air duct frame 2, a water tank 3, a wet film assembly 4, a valve switch 5, and a float switch 6.
[0260] Combination Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 The water tray 1 includes a second water tray portion 12, which defines a second water pool 121 with an open top. The air duct frame 2 is disposed above the water tray 1, and a humidifying air duct 211 is formed inside the air duct frame 2. At least a portion of the wet film assembly 4 is located inside the humidifying air duct 211, and the lower end of the wet film assembly 4 extends into the second water pool 121 to draw water from the second water pool 121.
[0261] Combination Figure 22 The air duct frame 2 includes a first frame wall 2212 and a second frame wall 231 that participate in defining the humidification air duct 211. The first frame wall 2212 is located on the side of the second frame wall 231 away from the second water tank 121. An insertion port 22121 is opened on the first frame wall 2212. The wet membrane assembly 4 is inserted into the humidification air duct 211 at an angle downward toward the lower end of the second frame wall 231 through the insertion port 22121.
[0262] For example, combined Figure 22 and Figure 23 The second water tray 12 is located at the rear of the water tray 1. The air duct frame 2 includes a first frame 22 and a second frame 23 that are assembled and connected. The first frame 22 is located in front of the second frame 23. The first frame 22 includes a first frame wall 2212, and the second frame 23 includes a second frame wall 231. The first frame wall 2212 defines the front wall of the humidifying air duct 211, and the second frame wall 231 defines the rear wall of the humidifying air duct 211. The insertion port 22121 on the first frame wall 2212 extends in the left-right direction along its length. The wet membrane assembly 4 is inserted into the insertion port 22121 at an angle towards the rear and downward, so that the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 extends into the second water pool 121 at the rear of the water tray 1.
[0263] Combination Figure 24 The rear side of the first frame wall 2212 has an inclined downward extending mounting slide rail 223. There are two mounting slide rails 223, which are located on the left and right sides of the insertion port 22121 respectively. After the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 is inserted into the insertion port 22121, the left and right ends of the wet membrane assembly 4 slide down along the mounting slide rail 223 respectively, so as to facilitate the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 to slide smoothly into the second water pool 121.
[0264] Combination Figure 22 and Figure 25The second water tray 12 includes a support wall 122, which helps to define the front wall of the second water tank 121 and extends obliquely upward from the bottom wall of the second water tank 121. The upper end of the support wall 122 is lower than the lower end of the mounting slide rail 223, and the extension direction of the support wall 122 is generally parallel to the extension direction of the mounting slide rail 223. After the lower end of the wet film assembly 4 leaves the mounting slide rail 223, it slides onto the support wall 122 and continues to slide downward and backward along the support wall 122 toward the bottom of the second water tank 121.
[0265] Combination Figure 25 and Figure 26 The support wall 122 is composed of a wall body 1221 and an upper wall portion 1222 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The vertical height of the wall body 1221 is greater than the vertical height of the upper wall portion 1222. The upper wall portion 1222 is composed of a first wall portion 12221 and a second wall portion 12222 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The first wall portion 12221 reduces the angle with the horizontal plane relative to the wall body 1221 and bends in a direction away from the wet film assembly 4. The second wall portion 12222 increases the angle with the horizontal plane relative to the first wall portion 12221 and bends in a direction closer to the wet film assembly 4, so that the upper end of the support wall 122 presents a three-fold form.
[0266] Combination Figure 25 and Figure 26 The wet film assembly 4 slides from the upper end of the support wall 122 onto the support wall 122. Therefore, the upper end of the support wall 122 is the installation inlet. To prevent the installation inlet of the support wall 122 from deforming and arching upwards, impacting the wet film assembly 4 that slides into it, the above design makes the upper end of the support wall 122 present a three-fold form, which can effectively strengthen the strength of the upper end of the support wall 122 and prevent it from warping and deforming upwards, so that the wet film assembly 4 can slide smoothly onto the support wall 122.
[0267] Combination Figure 25 and Figure 26 The upper end of the support wall 122 is provided with two reinforcing ribs 12223. There are multiple reinforcing ribs 12223, which are spaced apart in the left and right direction. The reinforcing ribs 12223 are located on the side of the first wall portion 12221 and the second wall portion 12222 facing the wet film assembly 4 and are respectively connected to the first wall portion 12221 and the second wall portion 12222. This can further strengthen the strength of the upper end of the support wall 122 and prevent it from warping and deforming upwards.
[0268] Combination Figure 25 and Figure 26The upper end of the support wall 122 faces the wet membrane assembly 4 and is formed into a guide slope 122221. The guide slope 122221 extends from bottom to top in a direction away from the wet membrane assembly 4, so that the upper end of the support wall 122 is formed into an flared shape, which is conducive to the wet membrane assembly 4 being able to slide smoothly onto the support wall 122 and further prevents the upper end of the support wall 122 from hitting the wet membrane assembly 4 that is sliding into it.
[0269] Combination Figure 26 The second water basin portion 12 includes a retaining wall 123, which defines the rear wall of the second water tank 121 and extends upward from the bottom wall of the second water tank 121. The second frame wall 231 includes a third wall portion 2313, a relief inclined wall 2312, and a fourth wall portion 2314. The third wall portion 2313 extends vertically, the relief inclined wall 2312 extends downward and rearward from the lower end of the third wall portion 2313, and the fourth wall portion 2314 continues to extend downward and rearward from the lower end of the relief inclined wall 2312 at a decreasing angle with the horizontal plane, extending above the retaining wall 123. The connection point between the relief inclined wall 2312 and the fourth wall portion 2314 is the closest proximity portion 2311 between the second frame wall 231 and the supporting wall 122.
[0270] Specifically, the inclination angle X2 of the yielding inclined wall 2312 relative to the horizontal plane is greater than the inclination angle X3 of the fourth wall portion 2314 relative to the horizontal plane. That is, at the position of the second frame wall 231 closest to the support wall 122, the yielding inclined wall 2312 is turned upwards to form an open installation entrance, effectively preventing interference and collision between the wet film assembly 4 and the second frame wall 231 during installation. For example, X2-X3 > 10°, which further effectively prevents interference and collision between the wet film assembly 4 and the second frame wall 231 during installation.
[0271] Furthermore, since the near portion 2311 of the second frame wall 231 is higher than the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 and is located on the side of the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 near the insertion port 22121, the near portion 2311 of the second frame wall 231 can limit the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4. When the wet membrane assembly 4 is subjected to an upward airflow force, the lower end will not lift up, thus it can stably perform the humidification function.
[0272] Combination Figure 20 and Figure 26The second water basin 12 includes a support wall 122, a retaining wall 123, and a bottom wall 124. The bottom wall 124 extends in the left-right direction along its length and defines the bottom wall of the second water basin 121. The support wall 122 extends upward from the front end of the bottom wall 124 and extends in the left-right direction along its length, and also defines the front wall of the second water basin 121. The retaining wall 123 extends upward from the rear end of the bottom wall 124 and extends in the left-right direction along its length, and also defines the rear wall of the second water basin 121.
[0273] Combination Figure 20 and Figure 26 The portion of the bottom wall 124 near the supporting wall 122 is recessed downwards to form a sinkhole 1241 at this location on the bottom wall of the second pool 121. The sinkhole 1241 extends horizontally along its length so that the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 can extend into the sinkhole 1241. The sinkhole 1241 is the lowest point of the bottom wall of the second pool 121, so that all the water in the second pool 121 can converge into the sinkhole 1241. In this way, by extending the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 into the sinkhole 1241, the wet membrane assembly 4 can completely absorb the water in the second pool 121, thus improving the problem of bacteria growth caused by the presence of unabsorbed water in the second pool 121.
[0274] Combination Figure 20 and Figure 26 For example, the bottom wall of the settling tank 1241 curves upward towards the front and rear ends respectively, so that the cross-section of the settling tank 1241 is close to U-shaped, thereby allowing water on both the front and rear sides of the settling tank 1241 to flow smoothly into the settling tank 1241. For example, the depth of the settling tank 1241 can be more than 3 mm.
[0275] Combination Figure 20 and Figure 26 The second pool 121 is also provided with a support rib 125. The support rib 125 is located on the side of the sinking trough 1241 near the enclosure wall 123, and supports the wet membrane assembly 4 to separate the wet membrane assembly 4 from the enclosure wall 123. The support rib 125 also supports the wet membrane assembly 4 so that the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 sliding down into the second pool 121 can enter the sinking trough 1241 and stay stably in the sinking trough 1241.
[0276] For example, multiple support ribs 125 can be provided at intervals along the left-right direction, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the support for the wet membrane assembly 4. For example, the support ribs 125 can be connected to the enclosure wall 123 and the bottom wall 124 respectively, thereby achieving stable support and increasing the structural stability and reliability of the second water tray 12.
[0277] Combination Figure 26 and Figure 27For example, the wet membrane assembly 4 may include a wet membrane 41 and a mesh frame 42, wherein the wet membrane 41 is installed within the mesh frame 42.
[0278] For example, the two sides of the thickness direction of the wet membrane 41 are respectively the side facing the support wall 122 (denoted as the lower side of the wet membrane 41) and the side facing the second frame wall 231 (denoted as the upper side of the wet membrane 41). The upper end of the wet membrane 41 is the end facing the insertion port 22121, the lower end of the wet membrane 41 is the end facing the second water pool 121, and the lower end of the mesh frame 42 facing the wet membrane 41 is the bottom of the mesh frame 42.
[0279] Combination Figure 26 and Figure 27 For example, the bottom of the mesh frame 42 is open, and the bottom of the wet membrane 41 installed in the mesh frame 42 is exposed through the bottom opening of the mesh frame 42. This can increase the lower water absorption area of the wet membrane 41, thereby improving the efficiency of the wet membrane 41 in absorbing water from the second water pool 121 and increasing the humidification capacity of the wet membrane assembly 4.
[0280] Combination Figure 27 Before the wet membrane assembly 4 is installed into the air duct frame 2, the wet membrane 41 can be installed upwards from the bottom opening of the frame 42. When the wet membrane 41 is installed in this bottom-mounted manner, for example, a protruding structure 4212 can be provided on the inner side of the frame 42. The protruding structure 4212 is interference-fitted with the wet membrane 41 to prevent the wet membrane 41 from falling downwards from the bottom opening of the frame 42. For example, the frame 42 can include frame side plates 4213 located on the left and right sides of the wet membrane 41. The protruding structure 4212 can be provided on the side of the frame side plate 4213 facing the wet membrane 41 and located at the center of the length direction of the frame side plate 4213.
[0281] Combination Figure 26 and Figure 27 For example, one side of the wet membrane 41 in the thickness direction faces the support wall 122, and the mesh frame 42 has multiple water inlets 4211 on the part between the wet membrane 41 and the support wall 122, thereby further increasing the water absorption area of the wet membrane 41 while ensuring the support strength of the mesh frame 42.
[0282] For example, combined Figure 26 and Figure 27The mesh frame 42 may include mesh frame supports 4214, of which there are two supports 4214 located on both sides of the thickness direction of the wet membrane 41. Each mesh frame support 4214 is connected to the left and right side plates 4213 of the mesh frame, thereby improving the reliability of the support for the wet membrane 41. An inlet 4211 is formed on the mesh frame support 4214 on the side of the wet membrane 41 facing the support wall 122. It can be understood that the two sides of the thickness direction of the wet membrane 41 are the air inlet side and the air outlet side, respectively. To increase the contact area between the airflow and the wet membrane 41, each mesh frame support 4214 may have multiple perforated areas to further increase the contact area between the airflow and the wet membrane 41.
[0283] Combination Figure 27 and Figure 28 For example, the space frame 42 may include a space frame end plate 422 and a space frame outer frame 421, with a wet film 41 disposed inside the space frame outer frame 421. Both extend into the humidifying air duct 211 through the insertion port 22121. For example, the space frame outer frame 421 may include the aforementioned space frame support 4214 and space frame side plate 4213.
[0284] Combination Figure 27 and Figure 28 For example, the space frame end plate 422 is disposed at the upper end of the space frame outer frame 421 and is located at the end of the wet film 41 facing the insertion port 22121. The front surface of the first frame wall 2212 has a rearwardly recessed countersunk platform 22122 and a handle groove 22123, the recess depth of the handle groove 22123 being greater than the recess depth of the countersunk platform 22122. The countersunk platform 22122 is disposed around the insertion port 22121 and is used to accommodate the edge of the space frame end plate 422. The handle groove 22123 is distributed on both sides of the width of the insertion port 22121, a portion of the handle groove 22123 falling within the area of the countersunk platform 22122, and the remaining portion of the handle groove 22123 extending in a direction away from the insertion port 22121 to exceed the coverage area of the space frame end plate 422. In this way, when it is necessary to remove the wet membrane assembly 4 from the air duct frame 2, the edge of the grid end plate 422 can be held by the handle groove 22123, so that the grid end plate 422 can be pulled to remove the wet membrane assembly 4 from the air duct frame 2.
[0285] Combination Figure 22 and Figure 23 For example, the bottom of the air duct frame 2 is open to form an air inlet for the humidification air duct 211. When the wet membrane assembly 4 is inserted into the humidification air duct 211 at an angle downwards through the insertion port 22121, so that the lower end of the wet membrane assembly 4 extends into the second water tank 121, the airflow entering the humidification air duct 211 from bottom to top can contact the wet membrane assembly 4 over a larger area, increasing the humidification capacity. That is, by placing the wet membrane assembly 4 at an angle, the air passage area of the wet membrane assembly 4 can be increased, thereby improving the humidification capacity.
[0286] Combination Figure 29 The humidifying air duct 211 includes a side flow channel 2111 located on at least one of the left and right sides of the wet membrane assembly 4. For simplicity, it is described as follows: the wet membrane assembly 4 has side flow channels 2111 on both the left and right sides. In this way, part of the airflow entering the humidifying air duct 211 from bottom to top can pass upward through the wet membrane assembly 4 and be humidified, while the rest can bypass the wet membrane assembly 4 from the side flow channels 2111 on the left and right sides and flow to the air outlet 24 of the air duct frame 2. This reduces wind resistance and noise while ensuring the humidification capacity.
[0287] For example, when the mounting slide rails 223 are provided on the left and right sides of the wet membrane assembly 4 respectively, a side flow channel 2111 is formed between the mounting slide rail 223 on the left side and the left side wall of the air duct frame 2, and a side flow channel 2111 is formed between the mounting slide rail 223 on the right side and the right side wall of the air duct frame 2, which is located on the right side of the wet membrane assembly 4.
[0288] For example, combined Figure 18 and Figure 29 The air outlet 24 of the duct frame 2 may include a side air outlet 242. For example, the side air outlets 242 may be located on the left and right sides of the duct frame 2, respectively, so that the airflow entering the side channels 2111 on the left and right sides of the wet film assembly 4 can flow out of the side air outlets 242 more quickly, thereby reducing wind resistance and noise. Exemplarily, the side air outlets 242 may be defined by the first frame 22 and the second frame 23.
[0289] For example, combined Figure 18 and Figure 29 The air outlet 24 of the duct frame 2 may include a front air outlet 241. For example, the front air outlet 241 may be located on the upper front side of the duct frame 2, so that the airflow entering the side channels 2111 on the left and right sides of the wet film assembly 4 can flow upward and forward from the front air outlet 241, thereby reducing wind resistance and noise. Exemplarily, the front air outlet 241 may be defined by the first frame 22, and the first frame 22 and the second frame 23 together define an upper air outlet duct that connects the front air outlet 241 and the humidification duct 211.
[0290] For example, combined Figure 18 and Figure 29 The air outlet 24 of the air duct frame 2 may include a side air outlet 242 and a front air outlet 241, and at least one of the side air outlet 242 and the front air outlet 241 can be switched on. The specific implementation of the front air outlet 241 and the side air outlet 242 can be referred to the description above, and will not be repeated here.
[0291] When the bottom of the duct frame 2 is open to form the air inlet of the humidifying duct 211, exemplarily, combined with Figure 8A vent 15 can be formed on the water tray 1, which runs vertically. The vent 15 is connected to the humidification duct 211, and the airflow passing through the vent 15 from bottom to top can enter the humidification duct 211.
[0292] For example, combined Figure 25 and Figure 29 When the wet film assembly 4 has side channels 2111 on both the left and right sides, the vent 15 can include a main air vent area 151 located directly below the wet film assembly 4 and a side air vent area 152 located directly below the side channels 2111. The main air vent area 151 has side air vent areas 152 on both the left and right sides. In this way, the airflow supplied upward from the side air vent area 152 can directly enter the side channels 2111, thereby effectively reducing wind resistance.
[0293] Combination Figure 20 and Figure 25 , Figure 26 The second water basin 12 includes: a front enclosure wall 129 defining the front wall of the second water tank 121; the portion of the front enclosure wall 129 opposite to the wet membrane assembly 4 is inclined to form a support wall 122; the front enclosure wall 129 includes end walls 1291 located on the left and right sides of the support wall 122, the end walls 1291 extending vertically; the support wall 122 is inclined forward relative to the end walls 1291; the support wall 122 and the end walls 1291 are connected by a connecting wall 1292 extending in the front-rear direction; the side air vent region 152 is opposite to the end walls 1291 front-rear; and the main air vent region 151 is opposite to the support wall 122 front-rear. Therefore, by providing vertically extending end walls 1291 at both ends of the front enclosure wall 129, it is beneficial to increase the ventilation area of the side air vent region 152, and the formed connecting wall 1292 can limit the left and right sides of the wet membrane assembly 4, restricting the left and right movement of the wet membrane assembly 4.
[0294] Combination Figure 19 and Figure 20 The water tray 1 includes a first water tray portion 11, which defines a first water pool 111 with an open top. The water tank 3 is used to fill the first water pool 111 with water. The first water pool 111 is connected to the second water pool 121. When the first water pool 111 and the second water pool 121 are arranged adjacent to each other, they can be directly connected. When the first water pool 111 and the second water pool 121 are arranged apart, they can be indirectly connected, for example, through the third water pool 131 described later. In this way, when the water tank 3 fills the first water pool 111 with water, the water in the first water pool 111 flows into the second water pool 121 through the third water pool 131, and the wet membrane assembly 4 absorbs water through the second water pool 121.
[0295] For example, combined Figure 19 and Figure 20The first water tray 11 is located at the front of the water basin 1, the second water tray 12 is located at the rear of the water basin 1, and the vent 15 is located between the first water tray 11 and the second water tray 12. The water basin 1 also includes a first side portion 13 and a second side portion 14, one of which is located to the left of the vent 15, and the other is located to the right of the vent 15. Both the first side portion 13 and the second side portion 14 extend in a front-rear direction and connect the same-side ends of the first water tray 11 and the second water tray 12. At least one of the first side portion 13 and the second side portion 14 defines a third water pool 131 extending in a front-rear direction. The front end of the third water pool 131 communicates with the first water pool 111, and the rear end of the third water pool 131 communicates with the second water pool 121.
[0296] For example, the water tray 1 can be a one-piece molded part, which facilitates processing. For the sake of simplicity, the following description will use the example of the first side 13 being located on the right side of the vent 15, the second side 14 being located on the left side of the vent 15, and the third water tank 131 being formed only on the first side 13.
[0297] Combination Figure 25 and Figure 20 The second water basin 12 includes: a front enclosure wall 129, a retaining wall 123, a bottom wall 124, and side retaining walls 1281. The bottom wall 124 extends horizontally along its length and defines the bottom wall of the second water basin 121. The front enclosure wall 129 extends upward from the front end of the bottom wall 124 and extends horizontally along its length, defining the front wall of the second water basin 121. The retaining wall 123 extends upward from the rear end of the bottom wall 124 and extends horizontally along its length, defining the second water basin 121. The rear wall of the pool 121 has two side walls 1281, which extend upward from the left and right ends of the bottom wall 124 respectively. The two side walls 1281 define the left and right side walls of the second pool 121 respectively. The rear end of each side wall 1281 is connected to the corresponding side enclosure wall 123. The front end of the left side wall 1281 is connected to the left end of the front enclosure wall 129, and the front end of the right side wall 1281 is spaced apart from the right end of the front enclosure wall 129, so as to define the passage connecting the second pool 121 and the third pool 131.
[0298] Combination Figure 30 and Figure 31For example, the first side portion 13 includes an outer side plate 134 and an inner side plate 135 spaced apart from each other. The outer side plate 134 is disposed away from the vent 15 relative to the inner side plate 135. A third water tank 131 is formed between the outer side plate 134 and the inner side plate 135. The top of the outer side plate 134 is provided with a side plate flange 1341 that bends away from the inner side plate 135. The side plate flange 1341 is partially concave to form an overflow port 132 above the concave area. When the water level in the third water tank 131 exceeds the lower edge of the overflow port 132, it can overflow from the overflow port 132.
[0299] It is understandable that the first water tank 111, the second water tank 121, and the third water tank 131 are connected to form a communicating vessel, and the water levels are consistent. In this way, when the water level in the water basin 1 exceeds the overflow port 132, it can flow out through the overflow port 132. For example, in the event of a failure such as air leakage in the water tank 3, overflow protection can be achieved.
[0300] For example, combined Figure 30 and Figure 31 The overflow port 132 is designed like a teapot spout. The side plate flange 1341 slopes upward along the direction from the inner side plate 135 to the outer side plate 134 at the overflow port 132. A vertically penetrating drainage notch 1321 is provided at the edge away from the inner side plate 135 so that the water flowing to the overflow port 132 breaks and flows out at the drainage notch 1321, thereby avoiding the problem of water not flowing out under tension.
[0301] For example, the height of the recess of the side panel flange 1341 in order to limit the overflow port 132 can be controlled to be more than 5 mm.
[0302] For example, combined Figure 30 and Figure 31 The outer side plate 134 has two drainage ribs 136 protruding in a direction away from the inner side plate 135. The two drainage ribs 136 are located on both sides below the overflow port 132, and a water guide channel 1361 extending in the vertical direction is formed between the two drainage ribs 136. Water overflowing from the overflow port 132 can flow downward through the water guide channel 1361. The water guide channel 1361 includes an upper channel section 13611 and a lower channel section 13612. The lower channel section 13612 is located below the upper channel section 13611. The width of the upper channel section 13611 is greater than the width of the lower channel section 13612. Therefore, the water guide channel 1361 is formed in the form of a lower narrowing, so that the water overflowing from the overflow port 132 can be guided more smoothly to the water collection position below.
[0303] For example, combined Figure 22 , Figure 23 and Figure 28The first frame 22 is an integrally formed part and includes a mounting part 221 and an air outlet 222. The air outlet 222 is located above the mounting part 221 and defines a front air outlet 241 that opens forward. The mounting part 221 defines a mounting cavity 2211 that opens forward and is used to house the water tank 3. The mounting part 221 includes a first frame wall 2212 and a side plate 2213. The side plate 2213 is located on the left and right sides of the first frame wall 2212. The mounting cavity 2211 is located on the front side of the first frame wall 2212. The humidifying air duct 211 is located on the rear side of the first frame wall 2212. An insertion port 22121 is opened on the first frame wall 2212. An installation slide rail 223 protrudes from the rear side of the first frame wall 2212. The wet film assembly 4 is inserted through the insertion port 22121 and slides into the humidifying air duct 211 along the installation slide rail 223. The mounting part 221 is located above the first water tank 111, and an opening 2214 is formed at the bottom of the mounting part 221, connecting the first water tank 111 and the mounting cavity 2211. The bottom of the water tank 3 has a water outlet 314, which extends downward through the opening 2214 and into the first water tank 111 for filling the first water tank 111 with water. Thus, the first frame 22 adopts an integrated design, integrating the functions of the front air outlet 241, the mounting water tank 3, and the mounting wet film assembly 4, improving product assembly efficiency and increasing product strength.
[0304] For example, combined Figure 28 The first frame 22, which is an integrated design, also integrates guide ribs 224. Each side plate 2213 has a guide rib 224 extending in the front-back direction on the side facing the mounting cavity 2211. There are multiple guide ribs 224 and they are spaced apart in the up-down direction. The front end of the guide rib 224 has a guide slope that is inclined away from the mounting cavity 2211. The guide ribs 224 allow the water tank 3 to smoothly enter the mounting cavity 2211, reducing assembly friction. Furthermore, by setting guide ribs 224 on the left and right sides of the water tank 3, it is also possible to prevent the water tank 3 from swaying left and right, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the water tank 3 filling the first water pool 111.
[0305] For example, combining Figure 19 The water tank 3 includes a water outlet valve 32 installed on the water outlet section 314. The water outlet valve 32 extends into the first water pool 111 along with the water outlet section 314. The water outlet valve 32 is opened by a valve switch 5 installed on the water collection tray 1. After the water outlet valve 32 is opened, the water tank 3 can fill water into the first water pool 111. Figure 28 When the water tank 3 is restricted to its left and right position by the guide rib 224, the water outlet valve 32 can be stably positioned so that it can be opened by the valve switch 5, thereby improving the stability of water tank 3 filling the first water pool 111 and thus improving the reliability of the humidification module 100 in realizing the humidification function.
[0306] For example, combined Figure 28The integrated first frame 22 also integrates a mounting lug 225, which is used to fix the duct frame 2 in use. For example, the mounting lug 225 can be fixed to the rear housing 700 of the air conditioner 10000 with screws to achieve the installation of the duct frame 2. Exemplarily, an operating notch 2251 can also be provided on the mounting lug 225. The operating notch 2251 forms an operating space between the mounting lug 225 and the rear housing 700, allowing personnel to reach and grasp the mounting lug 225 to remove the duct frame 2 from the rear housing 700.
[0307] Therefore, the first frame 22 adopts an integrated design, which integrates functions such as front air outlet 241, water tank 3 installation and limiting, wet film assembly 4 installation and guidance, and self-installation, thereby improving product assembly efficiency and product strength.
[0308] For example, refer to Figure 32 and Figure 33 The bottom of the water tank 3 includes a suspended part 315 and a water outlet part 314. The water outlet part 314 protrudes downward relative to the suspended part 315 to extend into the first water pool 111. The bottom surface of the suspended part 315 is higher than the bottom surface of the first water pool 111, so as to form a buffer cavity 3151 between the bottom surface of the suspended part 315 and the bottom surface of the first water pool 111.
[0309] In this way, by setting a clearance space (i.e., the space below the suspended part 315) at the bottom of the water tank 3, when the water tank 3 is installed into the mounting cavity 2211, only the water outlet 314 at the bottom of the water tank 3 extends into the first water pool 111. The suspended part 315 at the bottom of the water tank 3 can be suspended above the bottom surface of the first water pool 111. The water already stored in the first water pool 111 can be squeezed to the clearance space on the side of the water outlet 314, i.e., the buffer cavity 3151 below the suspended part 315, thereby preventing the water already stored in the first water pool 111 from being squeezed out of the water tray 1.
[0310] For example, refer to Figure 32 , Figure 33 , Figure 34 and Figure 35 The bottom surface of the first water tank 111 has an upwardly protruding positioning protrusion 1111, and the bottom surface of the water outlet 314 has an upwardly protruding upper convex structure 3142. The bottom of the upper convex structure 3142 forms an upwardly recessed positioning groove 3143. The water outlet 314 is fitted onto the positioning protrusion 1111 through the positioning groove 3143 to restrict the horizontal movement of the water outlet 314 relative to the first water tank 111. As a result, the water outlet valve 32 can be stably positioned in a position that can be opened by the valve switch 5, thereby improving the stability of water filling from the water tank 3 to the first water tank 111, and thus improving the reliability of the humidification module 100 in realizing the humidification function.
[0311] For example, refer to Figure 32 , Figure 33 , Figure 34 and Figure 35 The first water tank 111 has a guide limiting structure 1112 that protrudes upward from the bottom surface of the first water tank 111. The guide limiting structure 1112 is located on the side of the water outlet 314 away from the valve switch 5. The surface of the guide limiting structure 1112 facing the water outlet 314 is formed as a first inclined surface 11121 that extends downward towards the valve switch 5. The surface of the water outlet 314 facing the guide limiting structure 1112 is formed as a second inclined surface 3144 that is generally parallel to the first inclined surface 11121. Thus, the guide limiting structure 1112 can guide the second inclined surface 3144 through the first inclined surface 11121, so that the water outlet 314 slides downward into the first water tank 111 to a position that can cooperate with the valve switch 5. During the downward sliding of the water outlet 314, the positioning groove 3143 can be just fitted onto the positioning protrusion 1111, which improves the assembly efficiency and reduces the difficulty of aligning the positioning groove 3143 and the positioning protrusion 1111.
[0312] For example, refer to Figure 32 and Figure 33 The outlet valve 32 is installed on one side of the outlet section 314 in the horizontal direction. The water tank 3 fills the first water pool 111 with water by opening the outlet valve 32. The valve switch 5 is located on one side of the outlet valve 32 in the horizontal direction and is used to open the outlet valve 32. In this way, the water tank 3 can discharge water from the side. The outlet valve 32, which controls the discharge, is set at the side outlet position. This effectively reduces the space required above the water tank 3 when the water tank 3 is rotated out from the front. For example, it reduces the gap between the top surface of the mounting cavity 2211 and the top surface of the water tank 3, thereby improving the structural compactness and reducing the space occupation.
[0313] For example, refer to Figure 32 , Figure 33 , Figure 34 and Figure 35 and Figure 36 The valve switch 5 is located on the side of the outlet valve 32 away from the outlet portion 314. For example, when the outlet valve 32 is located on the right side of the outlet portion 314, the valve switch 5 can be located on the right side of the outlet valve 32. In this way, when the aforementioned suspended portion 315 is formed on the side of the outlet portion 314 away from the outlet valve 32, the valve switch 5 will not occupy the space of the buffer chamber 3151. For example, the outlet portion 314 is located on the right side of the suspended portion 315, the outlet valve 32 is located on the right side of the outlet portion 314, and the valve switch 5 is located on the right side of the outlet valve 32, thereby allowing the buffer chamber 3151 and the valve switch 5 to be placed on opposite sides of the outlet portion 314. Simultaneously, in conjunction with... Figure 35Alternatively, the third water tank 131 can be located on the side of the water tray 1 in the left-right direction near the water outlet 314, so that the third water tank 131 can be connected to the first water tank 111 at the water outlet position adjacent to the water tank 3.
[0314] For example, refer to Figure 35 and Figure 36 The outlet valve 32 includes a valve seat 322, a valve core 321, and a return spring 324. The valve seat 322 is installed on the outlet section 314, and a drainage channel 3220 is formed on the valve seat 322. The valve core 321 is movably inserted through the valve seat 322 in the left-right direction. The return spring 324 is located between the valve seat 322 and the valve core 321, and drives the valve core 321 to move in the left-right direction toward blocking the drainage channel 3220. The valve switch 5 pushes the valve core 321 to move in the left-right direction toward opening the drainage channel 3220, thereby switching the open and closed states of the outlet valve 32. For example, if the valve switch 5 is located on the right side of the outlet valve 32, the return spring 324 drives the valve core 321 to move to the right to close the outlet valve 32, and the valve switch 5 drives the valve core 321 to move to the left to open the outlet valve 32.
[0315] For example, refer to Figure 35 and Figure 36 The valve switch 5 includes a motor 51 and a drive member 52. The motor 51 drives the valve core 321 to move in the opening direction through the drive member 52. The motor 51 includes a motor body 511 and a drive shaft 512. The drive member 52 includes a rotating shaft 521 and a swinging protrusion 522. The rotating shaft 521 extends vertically and is connected to the drive shaft 512. The swinging protrusion 522 protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the rotating shaft 521. When the drive shaft 512 drives the rotating shaft 521 to rotate, the swinging protrusion 522 pushes the valve core 321 to move.
[0316] For example, refer to Figure 36 The side surface of the valve core 321 facing the valve switch 5 is a guide surface 3211a1 and a central surface 3211a2. The central surface 3211a2 is a vertical plane, and the guide surface 3211a1 is a cone-shaped truncated plate and is arranged around the central surface 3211a2. When the water tank 3 is installed, it can slide down smoothly through the guide surface 3211a1 to prevent interference and jamming with the swing protrusion 522. The central surface 3211a2 and the swing protrusion 522 are in reliable contact and bear force.
[0317] For example, refer to Figure 35 and Figure 36The first water basin 11 includes a second protrusion 11531 and a third protrusion 11541. The second protrusion 11531 is located inside the first water tank 111 and has a rotating hole 115310. The third protrusion 11541 is suspended above the second protrusion 11531 and has a clearance opening 115410 corresponding to the second protrusion 11531. The motor body 511 is mounted on the top of the third protrusion 11541. The drive shaft 512 extends from the lower end of the motor body 511 and is set corresponding to the clearance opening 115410. The rotating shaft 521 is set corresponding to the clearance opening 115410. The lower end of the rotating shaft 521 is pivotally engaged with the rotating hole 115310, and the upper end of the rotating shaft 521 is in transmission engagement with the drive shaft 512.
[0318] Therefore, by placing the motor body 511 on the third boss 11541, the motor body 511 can be protected from moisture. By placing the rotating shaft 521 on the second boss 11531, it is advantageous to increase the height of the swing protrusion 522 while shortening the height of the rotating shaft 521. The shortened height of the rotating shaft 521 can improve the strength of the drive component 52. The increased height of the swing protrusion 522 means that the horizontally moving valve core 321 does not need to approach the bottom of the valve seat 322. This allows the valve seat 322 to have a portion lower than the valve core 321 that connects to the water outlet 314, thus meeting the connection requirements between the valve seat 322 and the water outlet 314.
[0319] For example, the bottom surface of the motor body 511 can be higher than the overflow port 132, and the height difference between the bottom surface of the motor body 511 and the bottom surface of the overflow port 132 is greater than 10mm, and the height of the overflow port 132 is greater than 5mm, so as to more effectively prevent the motor body 511 from being damaged when the water tray 1 is full of water.
[0320] For example, combined Figure 35 and Figure 37 The duct frame 2 moves backward relative to the water tray 1 to achieve installation. In order to prevent the duct frame 2 from hitting the motor 51 during installation, the water tray 1 is provided with an anti-collision baffle 116 in front of the motor 51. The anti-collision baffle 116 can protrude from the third protrusion 11541, and the protrusion height is greater than half the height of the motor body 511, for example, it can be the same height as the motor body 511. In this way, when the duct frame 2 moves backward relative to the water tray 1 to achieve installation, the lower end of the duct frame 2 will not hit the motor 51, thus protecting the motor 51.
[0321] For example, when the motor 51 is located at the right front corner of the water tray 1, the anti-collision baffle 116 is located at the right front of the motor 51 and tilts backward in the direction from left to right. When the air duct frame 2 moves backward relative to the water tray 1, the front wall and right wall of the lower end of the air duct frame 2 will not collide with the motor 51, thus protecting the motor 51.
[0322] In addition, combined Figure 35 and Figure 37 An open-bottom motor clearance space 226 can be provided at the corresponding motor 51 at the lower end of the duct frame 2. The length of the motor clearance space 226 in the front-to-back direction is more than 100mm. The rear end of the motor clearance space 226 can be lower than the top surface of the motor 51 to improve the sealing effect after installation. At this time, when the duct frame 2 needs to be installed, the duct frame 2 can be slightly raised so that the rear end of the motor clearance space 226 is higher than the top surface of the motor 51. When the duct frame 2 is lowered, the motor 51 can fall into the motor clearance space 226. Then the duct frame 2 can be pushed backward so that the motor 51 can reach the front end of the motor clearance space 226. Under the protection of the anti-collision baffle 116, the front and side panels of the motor clearance space 226 will not hit the motor 51.
[0323] For example, combined Figure 19 The float switch 6 and valve switch 5 are located at the left and right ends of the first water tank 111, respectively. For example, the explanation will be based on the scenario where the float switch 6 is located at the left end of the first water tank 111 and the valve switch 5 is located at the right end. (Combined with...) Figure 38 and Figure 39 The float switch 6 may include a float element 61 and a Hall effect switch element 62. The float element 61 is located inside the first water tank 111, and the Hall effect switch element 62 is located outside the first water tank 111. A magnet 611 is provided on the side of the float element 61 facing the Hall effect switch element 62, and a chip 621 is provided on the side of the Hall effect switch element 62 facing the float element 61. The magnet 611 and the chip 621 are arranged facing each other with a distance controlled within 5mm, thereby improving the detection sensitivity of the Hall effect switch element 62.
[0324] For example, combined Figure 38 , Figure 39 and Figure 40 The water tray 1 includes a side plate 161 separating the float 61 and the Hall switch 62. The outer side of the side plate 161 has an outer mounting base 171. A groove 1711 is formed at the outer mounting base 171. The groove 1711 extends in the front-rear direction. The front end of the groove 1711 is open to form a slot 17110. The Hall switch 62 is inserted rearward into the groove 1711 through the slot 17110. The outer mounting base 171 includes a stop portion 1712. The stop portion 1712 extends in the front-rear direction. The groove 1711 is formed between the stop portion 1712 and the side plate 161. The stop portion 1712 prevents the Hall switch 62 from moving in the direction from the inside to the outside of the side plate 161.
[0325] For example, combined Figure 38 , Figure 39 and Figure 40The external mounting base 171 includes a first limiting structure 1714 disposed within a slide groove 1711. The Hall switch 62 has a second limiting structure 622 that engages with the first limiting structure 1714. The first limiting structure 1714 is disposed only on the side of the Hall switch 62 facing the side plate 161 and is formed as a strip-shaped protrusion extending in the front-rear direction. The second limiting structure 622 is formed as a strip-shaped groove extending in the front-rear direction and slides within the strip-shaped groove in the front-rear direction. This prevents the Hall switch 62 from being installed backwards.
[0326] For example, combined Figure 38 , Figure 39 and Figure 40 The external mounting base 171 has an elastic limiting structure 1715 at the slot 17110. The elastic limiting structure 1715 abuts against the Hall switch 62 to prevent the Hall switch 62 from exiting the slide groove 1711 forward. The elastic limiting structure 1715 is formed as an elastic cantilever. The front end of the elastic cantilever is a fixed end and is fixed at the left end of the slot 17110, while the rear end is a free end that is inclined to the right rear and abuts against the front end face of the Hall switch 62. In this way, during the process of the Hall switch 62 being inserted into the slide groove 1711 backward, the elastic cantilever can be pushed to deform, causing the free end to swing to the left. When the Hall switch 62 is installed in the rear, it is released from the pushing of the elastic cantilever, the elastic cantilever returns to its original deformation, and the free end abuts against the front end face of the Hall switch 62. To facilitate the disassembly of the Hall switch 62, the dimension of the elastic cantilever abutting against the front end face from left to right is 1.5mm-2.5mm.
[0327] For example, combined Figure 41 and Figure 42The side plate 161 has a third limiting structure 1611 and a fourth limiting structure 1612 protruding from it toward the first water tank 111. An inner mounting seat 172 is installed inside the first water tank 111. The inner mounting seat 172 includes a cover part 1723 and a locking part 1721. The lower two ends of the cover part 1723 are mounted on the bottom wall of the first water tank 111 through connecting ears. The locking part 1721 is located at the top of the cover part 1723. A floating cavity 1724 is formed inside the cover part 1723, which opens toward the side plate 161. The float 61 floats in the floating cavity 1724. A locking hole 1722 is formed between the locking part 1721 and the cover part 1721. The third limiting structure 1611 extends from the outer side of the side plate 161 to the inner side of the side plate 161 and passes through the locking hole 1722. The extended end of the third limiting structure 1611 has a locking protrusion 16111 that extends upward and abuts against the side of the locking part 1721 away from the side plate 161, so as to prevent the inner mounting seat 172 from moving relative to the side plate 161 in the direction from the outer side of the side plate 161 to the inner side of the side plate 161. The fourth limiting structure 1612 abuts against the top of the cover part 1723 and is placed on both sides of the locking part 1721, thereby limiting the left and right swaying of the inner mounting seat 172, so that the float 61 can float stably in the floating cavity 1724.
[0328] For example, combined Figure 35 , Figure 41 and Figure 42 The first water tank 111 has a first boss 1151 at one end in the left-right direction away from the third boss 11541. The first boss 1151 protrudes upward relative to the bottom surface of the first water tank 111. The first boss 1151 includes a side plate 161 extending upward from the bottom surface of the first water tank 111, and a cover plate 1124 extending from the upper end of the side plate 161 toward a direction away from the first water tank 111. A clearance area 1121 is formed below the cover plate 1124 located outside the side plate 161. The outer mounting base 171 is located in the clearance area 1121 and is covered by the cover plate 1124, thereby protecting the Hall switch 62 from above.
[0329] For example, refer to Figure 43 and Figure 44 The second water tray 12 is located at the rear of the water tray 1. The second water tray 12 defines the rear wall of the second water tank 121 by the enclosure wall 123. The second frame 23 is assembled to the rear side of the first frame 22. The second frame 23 includes a second frame wall 231 that defines the rear wall of the humidifying air duct 211. The lower end of the second frame wall 231 extends above the enclosure wall 123 and drains water into the second water tank 121. The condensate formed on the outer surface of the second frame wall 231 (i.e., the side facing away from the humidifying air duct 211) can be drained into the second water tank 121, thereby eliminating the need for anti-condensation sponge on the outer surface of the second frame wall 231 and improving production efficiency.
[0330] For example, refer to Figure 44 and Figure 45 The upper end of the enclosure wall 123 is provided with a rearwardly extending upturned edge 1262, on which a downwardly recessed drainage groove 12621 is formed. The bottom wall of the drainage groove 12621 slopes downward toward the direction close to the second water tank 121. There are multiple drainage grooves 12621, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The second frame wall 231 includes a third wall portion 2313 and a downwardly inclined portion 2315. The third wall portion 2313 is located at the front of the second water tank 121 and extends vertically. The downwardly inclined portion 2315 extends downwardly and backward from the lower end of the third wall portion 2313. The lower end of the downwardly inclined portion 2315 includes a drainage edge portion 23141 extending above the upturned edge 1262. A vertically penetrating drainage hole 23142 is formed on the drainage edge portion 23141. There are multiple drainage holes 23142, which are spaced apart in the left-right direction. Drainage holes 23142 are located directly above drainage channels 12621, and multiple drainage holes 23142 are arranged one-to-one with multiple drainage channels 12621. The outer surface of the downwardly inclined portion 2315 is also provided with guide ribs 2316, which are multiple and spaced apart in the left-right direction. Drainage channels 2317 are formed between adjacent guide ribs 2316, and multiple drainage holes 23142 are arranged one-to-one with multiple drainage channels 2317. The upturned edge portion 1262 has upwardly extending convex ribs 1263, which block the rear side of the drainage edge portion 23141.
[0331] For example, refer to Figure 26 and Figure 44 The downwardly inclined portion 2315 may include a clearance inclined wall 2312 and a fourth wall portion 2314. The clearance inclined wall 2312 extends downwardly and rearwardly from the lower end of the third wall portion 2313, and the fourth wall portion 2314 extends downwardly and rearwardly from the lower end of the clearance inclined wall 2312. The inclination angle X2 of the clearance inclined wall 2312 relative to the horizontal plane is greater than the inclination angle X3 of the fourth wall portion 2314 relative to the horizontal plane. A guide rib 2316 may protrude above the fourth wall portion 2314.
[0332] Therefore, the condensate formed on the rear surface of the second frame wall 231 can flow along the drainage channel 2317 to the drainage hole 23142, enter the drainage trough 12621 through the drainage hole 23142, and then flow into the second water pool 121 along the drainage trough 12621. This eliminates the need to attach anti-condensation sponge to the outer surface of the second frame wall 231, thereby improving production efficiency.
[0333] For example, refer to Figure 45 and Figure 46The second water basin 12 includes a side baffle 1281, which is vertically arranged and connected to the left and right sides of the enclosure wall 123 to define the left and right side walls of the second water basin 121. The upper end of the side baffle 1281 is provided with a side flange 1283 extending in a direction away from the second water basin 121. The side flange 1283 is connected to the upper flange 1262 and has a downward inclined extension trend in the direction of the upper flange 1262. The end of the side flange 1283 away from the second water basin 121 has an upwardly protruding side rib 1282, which is connected to the protruding rib 1263. The left and right ends of the downward inclined portion 2315 are respectively provided with a sunken platform 233. The sunken platform 233 is sunken relative to the downward inclined portion 2315. The sunken platform 233 is located above the side flange portion 1283. The sunken platform 233 has a downward inclined extension trend towards the upward flange portion 1262. The side rib portion 1282 blocks the side of the sunken platform 233 away from the second water pool 121.
[0334] Therefore, water on the left and right sides of the second frame wall 231 can be discharged through the sunken platform 233 to the upturned edge 1262, and then flow into the second water pool 121 through the drainage channel 12621 on the upturned edge 1262.
[0335] For example, refer to Figure 46 Each sunken platform 233 is provided with a side baffle 234 extending vertically upward on the side away from the downward inclined portion 2315, and the side rib portion 1282 is blocked on the side away from the second water pool 121 at the lower end of the side baffle 234.
[0336] For example, refer to Figure 43 , Figure 45 and Figure 47 The first water tray 11 is located at the front of the water basin 1. The first water tray 11 defines the rear wall of the first water basin 111 by the water basin wall 1141. The first frame 22 is assembled on the front side of the second frame 23. The first frame 22 includes a first frame wall 2212 that defines the front wall of the humidification air duct 211. The lower end of the first frame wall 2212 extends to the front side of the water basin wall 1141 and drains water into the first water basin 111. The condensate formed on the outer surface of the first frame wall 2212 (i.e., the surface facing away from the humidification air duct 21) can be drained into the first water basin 111.
[0337] Additionally, refer to Figure 45 and Figure 48When the first water tank 111 is provided with a boss structure, such as the first boss 1151 mentioned above, a water guide channel 1152 can be provided at the connection position between the first boss 1151 and the water tank wall 1141. The bottom wall of the water guide channel 1152 is inclined downward towards the direction close to the first water tank 111 so that the condensate water discharged from the outer surface of the first frame wall 2212 to the first boss 1151 can be smoothly guided into the first water tank 111 through the water guide channel 1152, and prevented from flowing out of the water tray 1 along the first boss 1151.
[0338] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air handling component 1000 according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described.
[0339] For example, refer to Figure 49 and Figure 50 The air handling unit 1000 includes a humidification module 100, a purification module 200, and a fresh air module 300. The humidification module 100 is used to humidify the air, the purification module 200 is used to purify the air, and the fresh air module 300 is used to introduce fresh air or indoor air.
[0340] The fresh air module 300, purification module 200, and humidification module 100 can be arranged sequentially along the airflow direction. The airflow introduced by the fresh air module 300 can first flow through the purification module 200 and then through the humidification module 100. Based on the type selection and activation control of the purification module 200 and the humidification module 100, at least one of humidification and purification can be achieved.
[0341] For example, the humidification module 100 can be configured to activate the humidification function when powered on. Specifically, the humidification module 100 can be the humidification module 100 of any of the above embodiments. After the humidification module 100 is powered on, the valve switch 5 drives the water outlet valve 32 to open, the water tank 3 fills water into the water tray 1, and the wet film assembly 4 draws water from the water tray 1, which can humidify the airflow flowing through it.
[0342] For example, the purification module 200 includes a purification bracket 201 and a purification unit 202. There are one or more purification units 202 installed on the purification bracket 201. At least one purification unit 202 is powered on to activate the purification function (e.g., germicidal lamp, ion sterilization, etc.), and / or, at least one purification unit 202 is a HEPA filter, which can be purified as long as airflow passes through it.
[0343] For example, when both the purification module 200 and the humidification module 100 are turned on, the airflow is purified first and then humidified; when the purification module 200 is turned on and the humidification module 100 is turned off, the airflow is only purified and not humidified; when the purification module 200 is turned off and the humidification module 100 is turned on, the airflow may be humidified without being purified.
[0344] For example, combined Figure 51 and Figure 52The humidification module 100 is positioned above the purification module 200, which in turn is positioned above the fresh air module 300. The humidification module 100 defines a humidification air duct 211, and the purification bracket 201 defines a purification air duct 2011. The fresh air module 300 includes an air inlet frame 301 and a fresh air fan 302. The air inlet frame 301 defines an air inlet duct 3011, which is connected to the inlet of the fresh air fan 302. The outlet of the fresh air fan 302 is connected to the purification air duct 2011, and the purification air duct 2011 is connected to the humidification air duct 211. The fresh air module 300 has a fresh air inlet 3012 and a recirculation air inlet 3013 connected to the air inlet duct 3011, and the humidification module 100 has an air outlet 24 connected to the humidification air duct 211.
[0345] The fresh air module 300 has at least a circulation mode and a fresh air mode. In circulation mode, the fresh air inlet 3012 is closed and the circulation inlet 3013 is open. When the fresh air fan 302 is working, the air inlet duct 3011 introduces indoor air through the circulation inlet 3013 and sends it into the purification duct 2011, and then from the purification duct 2011 to the humidification duct 211. In fresh air mode, the fresh air inlet 3012 is open and the circulation inlet 3013 is closed. When the fresh air fan 302 is working, the air inlet duct 3011 introduces outdoor fresh air through the fresh air inlet 3012 and sends it into the purification duct 2011, and then from the purification duct 2011 to the humidification duct 211.
[0346] For example, combined Figure 53 The upper end of the purification bracket 201 is connected to the lower end of the water tray 1. For example, the upper rear end of the purification bracket 201 has a first limiting structure 2012, and the upper rear end of the water tray 1 has a second limiting structure 127. The first limiting structure 2012 and the second limiting structure 127 cooperate to limit the upward movement of the water tray 1 relative to the purification bracket 201. For example, the first limiting structure 2012 can protrude from the top of the rear end of the purification bracket 201 and define a limiting hole 20121 extending in the front-rear direction. The second limiting structure 127 protrudes rearward from the rear end of the water tray 1 and extends rearward into the limiting hole 20121, so that the first limiting structure 2012 blocks the upward movement of the second limiting structure 127. Thus, the rear end of the water tray 1 can be prevented from tilting upward.
[0347] For example, combined Figure 53 and Figure 54The lower front end of the water tray 1 has a first connecting part 1131, and the upper front end of the purification bracket 201 has an upwardly protruding second connecting part 2013. The second connecting part 2013 is located behind the first connecting part 1131. A screw passes through the first connecting part 1131 from front to back and connects to the second connecting part 2013. This allows for a detachable connection between the front end of the water tray 1 and the front end of the purification bracket 201. For example, when cleaning the water tray 1, simply remove the two screws at the front of the water tray 1 and pull the water tray 1 forward.
[0348] For example, combined Figure 54 When the side of the water tray 1 is provided with a water guide groove 1361 extending downward from the overflow port 132, a first water inlet groove 2014 located below the water guide groove 1361 can be provided on the same side of the purification bracket 201. Water overflowing from the overflow port 132 can flow downward through the water guide groove 1361, and water discharged from the lower end of the water guide groove 1361 can continue to flow downward along the first water inlet groove 2014. For example, two vertically extending first water guide ribs 2015 can protrude from the side of the purification bracket 201, forming a first water inlet groove 2014 between the two first water guide ribs 2015. When the water guide groove 1361 is formed in a lower constricted form, the lower width of the water guide groove 1361 can be smaller than the upper width of the first water inlet groove 2014, allowing water discharged from the lower end of the water guide groove 1361 to enter the first water inlet groove 2014 more smoothly.
[0349] For example, combined Figure 54 The fresh air module 300 may have two vertically extending second water guide ribs 304 protruding from it, forming a second water guide trough 303 between the two second water guide ribs 304. The lower width of the first water guide trough 2014 may be smaller than the upper width of the second water guide trough 303. Water discharged from the lower end of the first water guide trough 2014 can smoothly enter the second water guide trough 303. Water overflowing from the overflow port 132 can flow downward through the guide trough 1361. Water discharged from the lower end of the guide trough 1361 can continue to flow downward along the first water guide trough 2014 into the second water guide trough 303, and then be discharged downward from the second water guide trough 303, for example, into the chassis of the air conditioner 10000.
[0350] The air conditioner 10000 according to some embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0351] Reference Figure 55 and Figure 56The air conditioner 10000 includes: an air handling unit 1000, a ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000, an electronic control unit 3000, and a housing unit 4000, wherein the air handling unit 1000, the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2000, and the electronic control unit 3000 are all housed within the housing unit 4000. The air handling unit 1000 can be any of the air handling units described in the above embodiments.
[0352] For example, refer to Figure 55 and Figure 56 The air conditioner 10000 includes a heat exchange duct (for example, the heat exchange duct may be defined by the housing component 4000, or by the ventilation heat exchange component 2000, or by both the housing component 4000 and the ventilation heat exchange component 2000). The housing component 4000 has an air conditioning inlet 701 and an air conditioning outlet 8021, both of which are connected to the heat exchange duct and to the environment outside the housing component 400 (such as indoors). The ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 includes a fan 400 and a heat exchanger 500. The impeller of the fan 400 and the heat exchanger 500 are both located in the heat exchange duct. When the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 is working, the fan 400 introduces indoor air into the heat exchange duct from the air conditioning inlet 701. After the air enters the heat exchange duct and exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 500, it is blown out from the air conditioning outlet 8021 and returned to the room, thus playing a role in regulating the indoor temperature.
[0353] For example, refer to Figure 55 , Figure 56 and Figure 57 The housing component 4000 has a purified air outlet 702, a purified air inlet 703, and a fresh air inlet 704. The purified air outlet 702 is connected to the side air outlet 242 of the air handling unit 1000, the purified air inlet 703 is connected to the recirculation air inlet 3013, and the fresh air inlet 704 is connected to the fresh air inlet 3012. The fresh air inlet 704 is connected to the outside through a fresh air duct, and both the purified air inlet 703 and the purified air outlet 702 are connected to the environment outside the housing component 400 (such as indoors).
[0354] For example, refer to Figure 55 , Figure 56 and Figure 57The air conditioner 10000 can be a floor-standing unit. The ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 is located above the air handling unit 1000. The electrical control component 3000 is located below the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 and behind the humidification module 100. The air inlet 701 and air outlet 8021 are both located on the upper part of the housing component 4000. The purified air outlet 702, purified air inlet 703, and fresh air inlet 704 are all located on the lower part of the housing component 4000. Thus, the airflow after heat exchange by the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 can be delivered from the upper part of the air conditioner 1000, and the airflow after purification and / or humidification by the air handling unit can be delivered from the lower part of the air conditioner 1000. Furthermore, when the air handling unit 1000 includes a front air outlet 241, a central air outlet 901 communicating with the environment outside the housing unit 4000 (such as indoors) may be provided on the front side of the middle portion of the housing unit 4000, and the central air outlet 901 is communicating with the front air outlet 241.
[0355] For example, refer to Figure 55 , Figure 56 and Figure 57 When the air conditioner 10000 is a cabinet air conditioner, the housing component 4000 may include a rear housing 700 and a front housing connected to the front side of the rear housing 700. The front housing includes an upper panel 800 and a lower panel 900. The upper panel 800 is located above the lower panel 900. The upper panel 800 covers the front side of the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000, and the lower panel 900 covers the front side of the air handling component 1000. Thus, when it is necessary to expose the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000, only the upper panel 800 can be removed, and when it is necessary to expose the air handling component 1000, only the lower panel 900 can be removed. The upper panel 800 may include a front panel 801 and a front air outlet frame 802. The front air outlet frame 802 defines an air outlet channel communicating with the heat exchange air duct, and the front panel 801 covers the front side of the front air outlet frame 802.
[0356] For example, the air conditioning inlet 701, the purified air outlet 702, the purified air inlet 703, and the fresh air inlet 704 are all located on the rear housing 700. The air conditioning inlet 701 is located at the upper part of the rear housing 700, while the purified air outlet 702, purified air inlet 703, and fresh air inlet 704 are located at the lower part of the rear housing 700. The purified air outlet 702 and purified air inlet 703 are located on the left and right sides of the rear housing 700, with the purified air outlet 702 higher than the purified air inlet 703. The fresh air inlet 704 is located at the rear of the rear housing 700. The air conditioning outlet 8021 is located on the upper panel 800, for example, on the left and right sides of the front panel 801, and is defined by the front air outlet frame 802. The middle air outlet 901 can be located between the upper panel 800 and the lower panel 900, and is defined by the lower panel 900.
[0357] Below, we will describe an embodiment of an assembly process for an air conditioner 10000.
[0358] On one hand, the electrical control component 3000 and the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 are both installed on the rear housing 700; on the other hand, the fresh air module 300, the purification module 200, and the water tray 1 are assembled together to form a single component and then installed on the rear housing 700. The electrical control component 3000 is lower than the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 and higher than the water tray 1.
[0359] Then, push the duct frame 2 into the rear housing 700 from front to back, aligning it with the electrical control component 3000, so that the duct frame 2 is positioned below the ventilation and heat exchange component 2000 and above the water tray 1. Then, secure the duct frame 2 to the rear housing 700 using the mounting lugs 225 on both sides of the duct frame 2. Next, insert the wet film assembly 4 into the duct frame 2 through the insertion port 22121, and then install the water tank 3 into the duct frame 2.
[0360] When installing the aforementioned integrated component consisting of the fresh air module 300, purification module 200, and water tray 1 into the rear housing 700, the rear end of the water tray 1 needs to extend below the electrical control component 3000, which is already pre-installed on the rear housing 700. To prevent the water tray 1 from colliding with the lower part of the electrical control component 3000 when pushing the integrated component backward, a guide rib 1261 is provided on the upper part of the rear end of the water tray 1. The guide rib 1261 serves a guiding function when the integrated component is in place.
[0361] For example, combined Figure 44 An upwardly extending flange 1262 can be provided at the upper end of the retaining wall 123 at the rear end of the water tray 1. An upwardly protruding rib 1263 is provided on the flange 1262. Multiple guide ribs 1261 are provided between the rear side of the rib 1263 and the flange 1262, which are spaced apart in the left and right direction. The guide surface of the guide rib 1261 is inclined downward from front to back. This not only satisfies the guiding function of the guide rib 1261, but also enhances the structural strength of the upper rear end of the water tray 1, reduces the upward deformation and warping of the upper rear end of the water tray 1, and further improves the problem of the water tray 1 colliding with the lower part of the electrical control component 3000 during installation.
[0362] For example, combined Figure 44 , Figure 58 and Figure 59The electronic control component 3000 includes a box body 601 and a box outer frame 602. The box outer frame 602 is used to connect with the rear box body 700 and surrounds the box body 601 to provide support for the box body 601. The box outer frame 602 includes a lower frame 6021 located at the bottom of the box body 601. The front end of the lower frame 6021 has a downwardly extending flange 6022. By setting the flange 6022, the front end of the lower frame 6021 can be effectively prevented from deforming downward, thereby improving the problem of the water tray 1 colliding with the lower part of the electronic control component 3000 during the installation of the above-mentioned overall component. A rearwardly recessed area 6023 can be provided at the center position of the flange 6022 in the left-right direction, thereby further preventing the front end of the lower frame 6021 from deforming downward, thereby improving the problem of the water tray 1 colliding with the lower part of the electronic control component 3000 during the installation of the above-mentioned overall component. For example, the vertical distance between the upper end of the rib portion 1263 and the lower end of the flange portion 6022 can be controlled to be more than 5mm, so that even if at least one of them is slightly deformed, the water tray 1 and the lower part of the electrical control component 3000 will not collide during installation.
[0363] Other components of the air conditioner according to embodiments of the present invention, such as air duct components and panel components, as well as their operation, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
