Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of humidification equipment, and in particular to an air-conditioning indoor unit and an air-conditioning. Background Art

[0002] As people's requirements for the quality of life become higher and higher, people's requirements for the quality of indoor air are getting higher and higher. Air conditioners with humidification function are constantly entering people's daily lives. This type of air conditioner can humidify the air flow sent into the indoor space through the humidification device, thereby increasing the humidity of the indoor space and providing user comfort.

[0003] At present, humidifiers on the market can be divided into three categories according to their working principles: ultrasonic humidifiers, electric heating humidifiers and evaporative humidifiers. Ultrasonic humidifiers need to use pure water. If tap water is used, white powder will be produced, and the impurity particles in the water will be deposited indoors; electric heating humidifiers use high temperature heating to evaporate water, and the humidification capacity is large, but the energy consumption is high and there are certain safety risks; the principle of evaporative humidifiers is natural evaporation, and the water on the humidification filter element is taken away by the fan to achieve the humidification effect. At the same time, the filter can filter impurities in the water and bacteria and dust in the air, which is very friendly to human health and comfort. The disadvantage is that the humidification capacity is low. For the humidification module used in air conditioners, priority should be given to evaporative humidification with the best comfort, but the humidification capacity of evaporative humidifiers is generally fixed, and it is impossible to choose to adjust the humidification capacity or normal air volume, which makes it less user-friendly in use.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] An airflow driving component is arranged above the humidifying component;

[0009] The baffle assembly is arranged in the first air outlet area and opposite to the second air outlet. The baffle assembly divides the first air outlet area into a first humidification duct and a first air duct. The first humidification duct is the space between the baffle assembly and the humidification assembly, and the first air duct is the space between the first inner wall surface and the baffle assembly. The baffle assembly can rotate relative to the humidification assembly to adjust the relative size of the first humidification duct and the first air duct.

[0010] Furthermore, the baffle assembly can reciprocate between a first position and a second position. When the baffle assembly rotates to the first position, the first humidification air duct is closed and no air enters; when the baffle assembly rotates to the second position, the first air duct is closed and no air enters; when the baffle assembly rotates between the first position and the second position, the first humidification air duct and the first air duct are both open to air intake.

[0011] Furthermore, the shell also includes a second inner wall surface opposite to the first inner wall surface, a second humidification air duct is formed between the humidification component and the second inner wall surface, and the second humidification air duct is connected to the air inlet.

[0012] Furthermore, the baffle assembly includes a power member and a baffle connected to a power output end of the power member.

[0013] Furthermore, the humidification component includes a base arranged at the bottom, and when the baffle is driven by the power component to rotate to abut against the base, the first humidification air duct is closed and no air enters.

[0014] Furthermore, the humidifying assembly also includes a water receiving tray arranged on the base, and a humidifying filter element installed in the water receiving tray.

[0015] Furthermore, the water receiving tray is slidably mounted on the base.

[0016] Furthermore, the first air outlet and the second air outlet are arranged at a same side of the shell with an interval, and the second air outlet is located below the first air outlet.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows: the baffle assembly is arranged in the first air outlet area and divides the first air outlet area into a first humidification duct and a first air duct, the first humidification duct means that the airflow is humidified by the humidification assembly and then output from the first air outlet, and the first air duct means that the airflow is directly output from the second air outlet without humidification, and the position of the baffle assembly in the first air outlet area is adjusted by adjusting its rotation, thereby adjusting the relative size of the first humidification duct and the first air duct, here when the first humidification duct is enlarged, the corresponding space of the first air duct is smaller, that is, when the humidification amount needs to be increased, the baffle assembly can be controlled to move toward the first The direction of the air duct is rotated to increase the air intake volume of the first humidification air duct, thereby improving the humidification amount. The conventional air outlet volume can also be controlled by the baffle assembly. At the same time, a mixed air outlet mode of humidification air outlet and normal air outlet can be realized.

[0029] In order to make the technical problems solved by this application, the technical solutions adopted, and the technical effects achieved more clearly, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are further described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0030] In the description of this application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected", "connected", and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] In the present application, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may include that the first and second features are in direct contact, or may include that the first and second features are not in direct contact but are in contact through another feature between them. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" and "above" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly above and obliquely above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" and "below" a second feature includes that the first feature is directly below and obliquely below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0032] like Figure 1-Figure 7As shown, this embodiment provides an air conditioner indoor unit, including: a shell 1, a humidifying component 2, an air flow driving component 3 and a baffle component 4, the shell 1 is provided with a first air outlet 101 and a second air outlet 102, the shell 1 includes a first inner wall surface located on one side of the second air outlet 102; the humidifying component 2 is arranged inside the shell 1, a first air outlet area 5 is formed between the humidifying component 2 and the first inner wall surface, and an air inlet connected to the first air outlet area 5 is arranged below the humidifying component 2; the air flow driving component 3 is arranged above the humidifying component 2 and connected to the The first air outlet 101 is opposite to the first air outlet; the baffle assembly 4 is arranged in the first air outlet area 5 and is opposite to the second air outlet 102, the baffle assembly 4 divides the first air outlet area 5 into a first humidification duct 501 and a first air duct 502, the first humidification duct 501 is the space between the baffle assembly 4 and the humidification assembly 2, the first air duct 502 is the space between the first inner wall surface and the baffle assembly 4, the baffle assembly 4 can rotate relative to the humidification assembly 2, and then adjust the relative size of the first humidification duct 501 and the first air duct 502.

[0033] Based on the above scheme, an installation cavity is opened inside the shell 1, and the airflow driving component 3, the humidification component 2 and the baffle component 4 are all arranged in the installation cavity. The airflow at the air inlet arranged below the humidification component 2 flows from bottom to top under the drive of the airflow driving component 3. After passing through the humidification component 2, the airflow can take away moisture and be transported to the indoor space from the first air outlet 101 after completing humidification, while the airflow that does not pass through the humidification component 2 can be directly transported to the indoor space from the second air outlet 102. A first air outlet area 5 with a relatively large space is formed between the humidifying component 2 and the first inner wall surface. The baffle component 4 is set in the first air outlet area 5 and arranged along the air flow direction of the first air outlet area 5, so that the first air outlet area 5 is divided into a first humidifying air duct 501 and a first air duct 502. The first humidifying air duct 501 means that the airflow is humidified by the humidifying component 2 and then output from the first air outlet 101. The first air duct 502 means that the airflow is directly output from the second air outlet 102 without humidification. The position of the baffle component 4 in the first air outlet area 5 is adjusted by adjusting its rotation, and then the relative size of the first humidifying air duct 501 and the first air duct 502 is adjusted. The relative size mentioned here specifically refers to that when the space of the first humidifying air duct 501 is increased, the corresponding space of the first air duct 502 is smaller, that is, when the humidification amount needs to be increased, the baffle can be controlled Component 4 rotates toward the first air duct 502 to increase the air intake of the first humidification air duct 501, thereby increasing the humidification amount. Conversely, when the humidification amount needs to be reduced, the baffle component 4 can be controlled to rotate toward the first humidification air duct 501 to reduce the air volume entering the first humidification air duct 501, so that less humidified air is output. In addition, the conventional air outlet can also be controlled by the baffle component 4, and a mixed air outlet mode of humidification air outlet and normal air outlet can be realized. While controlling a certain humidification amount, the air circulation process in the indoor space can also be accelerated, solving the problem that the humidification amount cannot be automatically adjusted in the prior art; in addition, through the rotation of the baffle component 4, it is possible to switch different air outlets when the humidification demand changes, and effectively control different air volumes, thereby ensuring the adjustability of the humidification function, making the air outlet more flexible, and improving the comfort of the air outlet.

[0034] Furthermore, the housing 1 further includes a second inner wall surface opposite to the first inner wall surface, and a second humidification air duct 6 is formed between the humidification component 2 and the second inner wall surface, and the second humidification air duct 6 is connected to the air inlet. The purpose of providing the second humidification air duct 6 is to ensure that the air humidification function can still be achieved when the first humidification air duct 501 is closed, and the second humidification air duct 6 ensures the circulation of the airflow inside the housing 1.

[0035] Furthermore, the baffle assembly 4 can reciprocate between a first position and a second position. When the baffle assembly 4 rotates to the first position, the first humidification air duct 501 is closed and no air enters; when the baffle assembly 4 rotates to the second position, the first air duct 502 is closed and no air enters; when the baffle assembly 4 rotates to between the first position and the second position, the first humidification air duct 501 and the first air duct 502 are both open to air entry. The first position refers to a position close to the bottom of the humidification assembly 2, and the second position is a position close to the bottom of the second air inlet. The specific position of the baffle assembly 4 is adjustable, and the adjustment range is between the first position and the second position, and specifically includes the first position and the second position. When the maximum humidification needs to be turned on, such as Figure 6 As shown, the airflow drive assembly 3 is started, and the baffle assembly 4 is rotated to the second position. At this time, the volume of the first humidification air duct 501 reaches the maximum, the first air duct 502 is closed, and the airflow entering from the air inlet all enters the first humidification air duct 501, and after humidification, the air is discharged through the first air outlet 101 above the first humidification air duct 501.

[0036] When it is necessary to turn on minimum humidification, such as Figure 5 As shown, the airflow driving component 3 is started, and the baffle component 4 is rotated to the first position. At this time, the first humidification air duct 501 is closed, and a part of the airflow enters the humidification duct through the second humidification air duct 6, and finally discharges from the first air outlet 101; the other part of the airflow directly enters the first air duct 502, and discharges from the second air outlet 102. The second air outlet 102 is a normal air outlet, and air humidification is not achieved, and it only participates in the air circulation process.

[0037] When humidification is not needed, the airflow drive component 3 is turned off, the baffle component 4 is rotated to the first position, and the first humidification duct 501 is closed. Since there is no negative pressure to attract the airflow when the airflow drive component 3 is turned off and the resistance of the humidification component 2 and the airflow drive component 3 is too large, the incoming airflow cannot pass through the second humidification duct 6 to achieve the humidification and air outlet process. At this time, the incoming airflow directly enters the first air duct 502 and discharges from the second air outlet 102.

[0038] In addition, if Figure 7As shown, the baffle assembly 4 can rotate between the first position and the second position, so when the baffle assembly 4 rotates in a direction close to the second position, the air intake of the first humidification air duct 501 increases, and the air intake of the first air duct 502 decreases; on the contrary, when the baffle assembly 4 rotates in a direction close to the first position, the air intake of the first humidification air duct 501 decreases, and the air intake of the first air duct 502 increases. Therefore, when the baffle assembly 4 rotates to different positions, the humidification amount and the conventional air output will change accordingly, and the air output volume can be controlled in the humidification or non-humidification state, and this control is not limited to one or two modes, but can be adaptively adjusted to meet the humidification needs of different users.

[0039] Optionally, the baffle assembly 4 includes a power member 401 and a baffle 402 connected to a power output end of the power member 401. The power member 401 can drive the baffle 402 to rotate freely between a first position and a second position, and after the rotation, the baffle 402 can be stably fixed at the current position, thereby achieving precise rotation control.

[0040] In addition, the baffle assembly 4 also includes a fixing member 403, which is arranged at the top of the baffle 402. The fixing member 403 cooperates with the baffle 402 to reasonably divide the first air outlet area 5 into the first humidification air duct 501 and the first air duct 502. In simple terms, the fixing member 403 is arranged at the top of the baffle 402, and the first humidification air duct 501 and the first air duct 502 are completely isolated, preventing the first humidification air duct 501 and the first air duct 502 from being connected above the top of the baffle 402, avoiding the unreasonable mixing of humidification air outlet and conventional air outlet, and affecting the air outlet effect. One side of the fixing member 403 is located at the first air outlet 101, and the other side is arranged relative to the humidification assembly 2, and both sides play a role in guiding the air.

[0041] In some embodiments, the humidification component 2 includes a base 203 disposed at the bottom, and when the baffle 402 is driven by the power member 401 to rotate to abut against the base 203, the first humidification air duct 501 is closed and no air enters. In this solution, the base 203 plays a role of fixed support, and the first humidification air duct 501 can be closed by the abutment between the baffle 402 and the base 203, which is equivalent to the base 203 also playing a role of limiting the rotation of the baffle 402.

[0042] Furthermore, the humidifying component 2 also includes a water receiving tray 201 arranged on the base 203, and a humidifying filter element 202 installed in the water receiving tray 201. The humidifying filter element 202 is partially exposed from the water receiving tray 201. After the airflow passes through the humidifying filter element 202, it will take away the moisture in the humidifying filter element 202 to complete the humidification process, and the water receiving tray 201 is used to catch the water droplets dropped from the humidifying filter element 202 to prevent the water droplets from falling onto the electrical components and causing a short circuit fault.

[0043] As an optional specific implementation, the humidification filter element 202 can be replaced with a wet membrane.

[0044] At the same time, the water receiving tray 201 is slidably installed on the base 203, and the water receiving tray 201 slides relative to the base 203, so as to be pulled out relative to the shell 1. On the one hand, the humidification filter element 202 can be replenished with water, and on the other hand, the water receiving tray 201 can be cleaned when water accumulates.

[0045] Preferably, the first air outlet 101 and the second air outlet 102 are arranged at the same side of the housing 1, and the second air outlet 102 is located below the first air outlet 101. The first air outlet 101 is used as an outlet for humidified air, which can reasonably humidify the room, and the second air outlet 102 is used as an outlet for normal air, which can accelerate the air circulation process in the room.

[0046] As an optional specific implementation scheme, the first air outlet 101 is arranged at the top of the shell 1, and the second air outlet 102 is arranged at the front end surface of the shell 1. When the first air outlet 101 is arranged at the top, the humidified air can be discharged from the top.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that the airflow driving component 3 is specifically an axial flow fan.

[0048] On the other hand, an air conditioner is also provided, comprising an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner outdoor unit as described in any of the above items, wherein the air conditioner outdoor unit is provided with a circulation loop consisting of a compressor, an evaporator, a throttling device and a condenser, and the air conditioner outdoor unit and the air conditioner indoor unit are connected by a pipeline.

In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.
