[0002] At present, some air conditioners use evaporative humidification, especially when using a humidification filter element.

However, due to the relatively weak capillary force at normal and low temperatures, the process of replenishing water from the water tank to the humidification filter element often occurs in a timely manner and insufficient water, resulting in low humidification efficiency and unclear effect, which cannot meet the user's humidification needs.

[0030] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 1 As shown, and refer to Figure 2 The embodiment of the utility model provides an air conditioner 100, including a body 10, a heat exchange component 20 and a humidification component 30. The body 10 defines a first air duct 80 and a second air duct 90 that are connected or separated, the first air duct 80 leads to the first air outlet, and the second air duct 90 leads to the second air outlet 70. The heat exchange component 20 is arranged in the first air duct 80. The humidification component 30 is arranged in the second air duct 90, and includes a humidification filter element 310, so that the second air duct 90 is divided into an air inlet section and an air outlet section, and the air inlet section, the humidification filter element 310 and the air outlet section are arranged in sequence in the air flow direction. In addition, a humidification fan 320 is arranged in the air inlet section. In addition, a water storage chamber 340 and a heating component are arranged at the bottom of the humidification filter element 310 to promote the water to climb to the top of the humidification filter element 310 under the capillary action at least when the heating component heats the water in the water storage chamber 340.

[0031] In this embodiment, the heat exchange component 20 in the first air duct 80 is used to exchange heat for the air. The air after heat exchange by the heat exchanger is blown into the room through the first air outlet to exchange heat for the indoor environment. The humidification component 30 in the second air duct 90 is used to humidify the room. The heating component heats the water in the water storage chamber 340, so that the water in the water storage chamber 340 quickly climbs to the top of the humidification filter element 310, and the humidification filter element 310 is filled with water. Under the action of the humidification fan 320, the air enters the humidification filter element 310 from the air inlet section. When the air passes through the humidification filter element 310, it takes away the moisture in the humidification filter element 310 to form humid air. The humid air enters the room from the air outlet section to achieve humidification of the room. The humidification fan 320 can increase the flow rate of the air, so that more humid air can enter the room and increase the humidification amount of the air conditioner 100. The heating component can accelerate the movement of water in the water storage chamber 340, allowing water molecules to quickly enter the humidification filter element 310, further improving the humidification capacity of the air conditioner 100, solving the problem of low evaporation humidification efficiency in the prior art, and achieving the purpose of improving user experience.

[0032] Furthermore, the humidification filter element 310 can filter out some impurities such as dust in the water, making the humid air blown into the room cleaner, preventing impurities such as dust from being blown into the room and causing an impact on human health, thereby improving the user experience.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the humidifying fan 320 is arranged in the air outlet section.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present invention, a humidifying fan 320 is provided in both the air inlet section and the air outlet section.

[0035] In this embodiment, humidification fans 320 are set in the air inlet section and the air outlet section. The two humidification fans 320 operate simultaneously, so that the air flows faster in the second air duct 90, so that more humid air enters the room, the humidification amount of the air conditioner 100 is increased, the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100 is increased, and the user experience is improved.

[0036] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the heating component includes a condenser 331 , and the condenser 331 and the heat exchange component 20 are connected to the same refrigerant circulation system to heat the water in the water storage chamber 340 .

[0037] In this embodiment, the heating component is a condenser 331. The condenser 331 and the heat exchange component 20 are connected in the same refrigerant circulation system. The refrigerant circulates in the heat exchange component 20 and the condenser 331. When the heat exchange component 20 exchanges heat, the condenser 331 generates heat, and the water in the water storage chamber 340 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the condenser 331, so that the temperature of the water is increased. The heat in the refrigerant circulation system is used to heat the water in the water storage chamber 340, and the heat in the refrigerant circulation system is fully utilized to achieve heat recovery and cost saving. There is no need to install a heating device, which further saves the production cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0038] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the heating component includes an electric heating device.

[0039] In this embodiment, an electric heating device is used to heat the water in the water storage chamber 340, thereby accelerating the movement of water in the water storage chamber 340, allowing water molecules to quickly enter the humidification filter element 310, thereby increasing the humidification capacity of the air conditioner 100, solving the problem of low evaporation humidification efficiency in the prior art, and achieving the purpose of improving user experience.

[0040] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the condenser 331 and the heat exchange component 20 are arranged in parallel in the refrigerant circulation system.

[0041] In this embodiment, the condenser 331 and the heat exchange assembly 20 are arranged in parallel, and the high-temperature refrigerant enters the heat exchange assembly 20 and the condenser 331 from the compressor. The high-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the compressor enters the heat exchange assembly 20, and the high-temperature refrigerant in the heat exchange assembly 20 exchanges heat with the air to increase the temperature of the indoor air. When the high-temperature refrigerant flowing out of the compressor enters the condenser 331, the water in the water storage chamber 340 will exchange heat with the high-temperature refrigerant in the condenser 331, and the temperature of the water will increase, thereby achieving the heating of the water in the water storage chamber 340. Especially in winter, the air conditioner 100 performs heat exchange and blows out hot air indoors, the indoor temperature rises, and the environment is dry. The parallel condenser 331 can heat the water in the water storage chamber 340 when the air conditioner 100 blows out hot air indoors, accelerate the evaporation of water, and improve the humidification efficiency and humidification amount of the air conditioner 100.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present invention, the refrigerant circulation system further includes at least one control valve 40 , and the at least one control valve 40 is connected to the condenser 331 to enable the opening and closing states of the condenser 331 to be controlled.

[0043] In this embodiment, at least one control valve 40 is connected to the condenser 331. The user can choose to open or close the condenser 331 according to the indoor humidity to change the climbing speed of the water in the water storage chamber 340 in the humidification filter element 310, thereby adjusting the humidification amount and humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100. The user can adjust the humidification effect of the air conditioner 100 according to the needs to improve the user experience. For example, when the indoor temperature is relatively dry, the control valve 40 opens the condenser 331, and the condenser 331 heats and exchanges heat with the water in the water storage chamber 340, so that the temperature of the water increases, the activity of water molecules intensifies, and the evaporation of water is accelerated, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100. When the indoor humidity is high, the control valve 40 closes the condenser 331, and the condenser 331 no longer heats the water in the water storage chamber 340, reduces the evaporation rate of water, and reduces the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the refrigerant inlet and the refrigerant outlet of the condenser 331 are connected to the heat exchange component 20 through the refrigerant pipes 50 respectively, and the control valve 40 is connected to both refrigerant pipes 50, and the control valve 40 is configured to switch the refrigerant pipe 50 on and off.

[0045] In this embodiment, the condenser 331 is connected to the heat exchange assembly 20 via a refrigerant pipe 50, and the refrigerant pipe 50 is connected to the control valve 40. When the control valve 40 is opened, the refrigerant pipe 50 connects the condenser 331 and the heat exchange assembly 20, and the high-temperature refrigerant flows between the condenser 331 and the heat exchange assembly 20, so that the condenser 331 can heat the water in the water storage chamber 340, thereby improving the humidification effect of the air conditioner 100. When the control valve 40 is closed, the connection between the condenser 331 and the heat exchange assembly 20 is blocked, the high-temperature refrigerant no longer flows into the condenser 331, and the condenser 331 stops heating the water in the water storage chamber 340, thereby reducing the humidification effect of the air conditioner 100.

[0046] In other embodiments of the present invention, the two refrigerant pipes 50 are both connected to a control valve 40 , and the control valve 40 is configured to adjust the flow rate of the refrigerant.

[0047] In this embodiment, the flow rate of the refrigerant can be adjusted by adjusting the opening of the control valve 40. When the opening of the control valve 40 is small, the flow rate of the refrigerant in the refrigerant pipe 50 is small, the flow rate of the refrigerant in the condenser 331 is small, the heating rate of the water in the water storage chamber 340 by the condenser 331 is low, and the climbing speed of the water in the water storage chamber 340 in the humidification filter element 310 is low, thereby the humidification amount of the air conditioner 100 is small, and the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100 is low. When the opening of the control valve 40 is large, the flow rate of the refrigerant in the refrigerant pipe 50 is large, the flow rate of the refrigerant in the condenser 331 is large, the heating rate of the water in the water storage chamber 340 by the condenser 331 is high, and the climbing speed of the water in the water storage chamber 340 in the humidification filter element 310 is fast, thereby the humidification amount of the air conditioner 100 is large, and the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100 is high. The user can control the opening of the control valve 40 to control the humidification amount and humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100, thereby meeting the user's different humidity requirements and improving the user's usage experience.

[0048] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, when the first air duct 80 and the second air duct 90 are separated, the first air outlet is located on the upper side of the second air outlet 70 .

[0049] In this embodiment, the first air outlet is a heat exchange air outlet, and the heat exchange air is blown out from the top of the air conditioner 100. The second air outlet 70 is a humidified air outlet, and the humidified air is blown out from the bottom of the air conditioner 100. The first air outlet and the second air outlet 70 are arranged at intervals up and down to avoid mutual influence between the heat exchange air and the humidified air when they are blown out.

[0050] In other embodiments of the present invention, when the first air duct 80 and the second air duct 90 are separated, the first air outlet is located at the lower side of the second air outlet 70 .

[0051] In this embodiment, the heat exchange air is blown out from the bottom of the air conditioner 100, and the humidified air is blown out from the top of the air conditioner 100, which can also avoid the heat exchange air and the humidified air from affecting each other when they are blown out.

[0052] In some other embodiments of the present invention, when the first air duct 80 and the second air duct 90 are separated, the first air outlet and the second air outlet 70 are arranged side by side.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the humidification assembly 30 further includes a water tank 350, and the bottom of the water tank 350 defines a water storage chamber 340. Also, at least the bottom of the humidification filter element 310 is disposed in the water tank 350, and the heating component is located below the water tank 350, so that the heating component and the water storage chamber 340 are separated by the bottom wall of the water tank 350.

[0054] In this embodiment, the bottom of the water tank 350 defines a water storage chamber 340, and the bottom of the humidification filter element 310 is located at the bottom of the water tank 350. During humidification, the heating component starts to heat the water in the water storage chamber 340 through heat conduction. The water temperature in the water storage chamber 340 increases, the activity of water molecules intensifies, and the movement of water molecules intensifies, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the top of the water tank 350 has an upward opening, the bottom end of the humidification filter element 310 is arranged at the bottom of the water tank 350, and the top end of the humidification filter element 310 is inserted into the water tank 350 from the opening at the top of the water tank 350. The humidification fan 320 is arranged above the water tank 350.

[0056] In this embodiment, the humidification filter element 310 is vertically placed in the water tank 350, the upper end of the humidification filter element 310 extends from the opening at the top of the water tank 350, and the humidification fan 320 is located above the humidification filter element 310. During humidification, the water in the water tank 350 rises from the bottom of the humidification filter element 310 until a water curtain is formed on the wall of the humidification filter element 310. Under the action of the humidification fan 320, air enters the humidification filter element 310, forming humid air that is blown out from the top of the humidification filter element 310 and blown into the room by the humidification fan 320 to achieve humidification of the room. The humidification filter element 310 can filter out some impurities such as dust in the water, so that the humidified air blown into the room is relatively clean, and prevents dust and other impurities from blowing into the room and affecting human health. The humidification filter element 310 extends from the bottom of the water tank 350 to above the opening at the top, so that the water in the water tank 350 is filtered more fully, the filtering effect of the water is improved, and the user experience is thereby improved.

[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the humidification fan 320 is a cross-flow fan, which facilitates the humidification fan 320 to blow air in a circumferential direction, so that the humidified air blown out by the humidification fan 320 is blown out from the second air outlet 70.

[0058] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, at least two air inlets 60 are provided on the side wall of the water tank 350 , and at least two air inlets 60 are located at the upper end of the water tank 350 .

[0059] In this embodiment, during humidification, air enters the water tank 350 from at least two air inlets 60, and under the action of the humidification fan 320, the air flows in the second air duct 90. After entering the humidification filter element 310 from the side of the humidification filter element 310, the air flows upward, blows out from the top of the humidification filter element 310, and blows into the room from the second air outlet 70 to humidify the room. The air inlet 60 is located at the upper end of the water tank 350, so that the water tank 350 forms a water storage chamber 340 at the lower end of the air inlet 60. The position of the air inlet 60 is close to the top, and the higher the height of the water storage chamber 340 below, the larger the capacity of the water storage chamber 340, so that the water in the water storage chamber 340 is more sufficient, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100, enhancing the humidification effect of the air conditioner 100, meeting the user's demand for humidification, and improving the user's experience. Moreover, the more the number of air inlets 60 is, the greater the air intake volume is, and the more humid air is blown out through the humidification filter element 310 , thereby increasing the humidification volume of the air conditioner 100 and improving the humidification efficiency of the air conditioner 100 .

[0060] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, at least two second air outlets 70 are provided, and the at least two air outlets are located at least on two opposite sides of the machine body 10 .

[0061] In this embodiment, at least two second air outlets 70 are provided on the body 10, so that the humid air blown out from the air outlet section is blown out from the second air outlet 70. The second air outlets 70 are at least located on both sides of the body 10, so that when the humid air is blown into the room, it is blown to multiple directions in the room, thereby avoiding uneven distribution of humid air in the indoor area, improving the uniformity of humidification of the air conditioner 100, and improving the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, two second air outlets 70 are provided, and the two air outlets are located on two opposite sides of the machine body 10 .

[0063] In this embodiment, the body 10 includes two second air outlets 70, and the two second air outlets 70 are relatively arranged on the body 10, that is, the two second air outlets 70 blow out humid air in two opposite directions. The humid air diffuses to the surroundings from two directions, avoiding uneven distribution of humid air in the indoor area, improving the uniformity of humidification of the air conditioner 100, and improving the user experience. For example, one second air outlet 70 is arranged on the left side of the body 10, and the other second air outlet 70 is arranged on the right side of the body 10. Alternatively, one second air outlet 70 is arranged on the front side of the body 10, and the other second air outlet 70 is arranged on the rear side of the body 10.

[0064] In some other embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second air outlets 70 are provided, and the plurality of air outlets are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the machine body 10 .

[0065] In this embodiment, multiple second air outlets 70 are evenly arranged along the circumference of the body 10, so that when the humid air is blown out from the second air outlets 70, it is evenly blown out in different directions, avoiding uneven distribution of the humid air in the indoor area in the indoor space, improving the uniformity of humidification of the air conditioner 100, and improving the user experience.

[0066] In some other embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second air outlets 70 are provided, and the plurality of air outlets are evenly arranged in the axial direction of the machine body 10 .

[0067] In this embodiment, multiple second air outlets 70 are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the body 10, so that when the humid air is blown out from the second air outlet 70, it is blown out evenly in the height direction, avoiding uneven distribution of the humid air in the indoor area in the height of the indoor space, improving the uniformity of humidification of the air conditioner 100, and improving the user experience.

[0068] In some other embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of second air outlets 70 are provided, and the plurality of air outlets are evenly arranged in the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the machine body 10 .

[0069] In this embodiment, multiple second air outlets 70 are evenly arranged along the circumference and axial direction of the body 10, so that when the humid air is blown out from the second air outlets 70, it is blown out evenly in the circumferential direction and the height direction, avoiding uneven distribution of the humid air in the indoor area in the indoor space, improving the uniformity of humidification of the air conditioner 100, and improving the user experience.

[0070] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air outlet section is aligned with the second air outlet 70 in the up and down direction.

[0071] In this embodiment, the air outlet section and the second air outlet 70 are at the same height, or at least part of the air outlet section and part of the second air outlet 70 are at the same height. Under the action of the humidifying fan 320, the humid air is blown out from the air outlet section and blown out through the second air outlet 70. The air outlet section and the second air outlet 70 at the same height allow the humid air to be blown directly into the room from the second air outlet 70 after being blown out from the air outlet section, reducing the flow path of the humid air, and the humid air is quickly blown into the room from the second air outlet 70, thereby improving the user experience.

[0072] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 further includes an inlet, which is disposed at the rear side of the body 10 and communicates with the first air duct 80 .

[0073] In this embodiment, indoor air enters the first air duct 80 from the inlet, and forms heat exchange air after heat exchange with the refrigerant in the heat exchange component 20 in the first air duct 80. The heat exchange air is blown into the room through the first air outlet to adjust the indoor temperature.

[0074] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 100 further includes a heat exchange fan, which is disposed in the first air duct 80 to force air to enter the first air duct 80 from the inlet, and the heat exchange air is blown out from the first air outlet.

[0075] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner 100 is working, under the action of the heat exchange fan, air enters the first air duct 80 from the inlet, and forms heat exchange air after heat exchange with the refrigerant in the heat exchange component 20 in the first air duct 80. The heat exchange air is blown into the room from the first air outlet by the heat exchange fan to adjust the indoor temperature.

[0076] In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a first air duct 80 and a second air duct 90, and the first air duct 80 connects the inlet and the first air outlet on the body 10. A heat exchange component 20 and a heat exchange fan are arranged in the first air duct 80. A water tank 350, a humidifying fan 320 and a condenser 331 are arranged in the second air duct 90. Two oppositely arranged air inlets 60 are opened on the side of the water tank 350, and the top of the water tank 350 has an opening, and the bottom of the water tank 350 defines a water storage chamber 340. The humidifying filter element 310 is placed in the water tank 350, and the top of the humidifying filter element 310 is exposed from the opening at the top of the water tank 350. The humidifying fan 320 is arranged above the humidifying filter element 310. The condenser 331 is arranged below the water tank 350 , and the refrigerant inlet and refrigerant outlet of the condenser 331 are respectively connected to the heat exchange component 20 through the refrigerant pipe 50 , and the control valve 40 is connected to both refrigerant pipes 50 , and the control valve 40 is configured to switch the refrigerant pipe 50 on and off.

[0077] In this embodiment, when the air conditioner 100 is exchanging heat, air enters the first air duct 80 from the inlet, exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the heat exchange assembly 20 to form heat exchange wind, and the humidification fan 320 blows the heat exchange wind into the room from the first air outlet to adjust the indoor temperature. When the air conditioner 100 is humidifying, the high-temperature refrigerant in the condenser 331 exchanges heat with the water in the water tank 350, so that the water problem increases, the movement of water molecules intensifies, and quickly climbs from the bottom of the humidification filter element 310 to the top of the humidification filter element 310, and the humidification filter element 310 is filled with water. The air enters the humidification filter element 310 from the air inlet 60 on the side wall of the water tank 350, and under the action of the humidification fan 320, it is blown out from the top of the humidification filter element 310 and blown into the room from the second air outlet 70 to humidify the room.

[0078] The condenser 331 and the heat exchange assembly 20 are connected to the same refrigerant circulation system. The refrigerant circulates in the heat exchange assembly 20 and the condenser 331. When the heat exchange assembly 20 exchanges heat, the condenser 331 generates heat, and the water in the water storage chamber 340 exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the condenser 331, so that the temperature of the water is increased. The heat in the refrigerant circulation system is used to heat the water in the water storage chamber 340, and the heat in the refrigerant circulation system is fully utilized to achieve heat recovery and cost saving. There is no need to install a heating device, which further saves the production cost of the air conditioner 100.

[0079] Moreover, the humidification filter element 310 can filter out some impurities such as dust in the water, making the humid air blown into the room cleaner, preventing impurities such as dust from being blown into the room and affecting human health, thereby improving the user experience.
