DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0028] Unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "upper, lower, left, right" are defined according to the directions indicated in the corresponding drawings, while "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding components themselves. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this disclosure are to distinguish one element from another, and do not have order and importance.

[0029] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the present disclosure exemplarily provides an air treatment system, specifically, an air treatment system with fresh air and oxygen production functions integrated. The air treatment system here can be applied to, including but not limited to, a split air conditioner, or an integrated air conditioner, or an oxygen generator, etc.

[0031] The air treatment system provided by the present disclosure includes a first functional module 1, a second functional module 2 and a third functional module 3. Among them: the first functional module 1 includes a filter component 11, and the filter component 11 optionally includes a HEPA filter; the second functional module 2 includes an oxygen production component, and the oxygen production component optionally includes a vacuum pump 21 and a molecular sieve 22, and the vacuum pump 21 can also be replaced by a compressor. The third functional module 3 includes at least one of an ion generator and a fragrance generator, and optionally, the third functional module 3 can also include a water mist generator.

[0032] Among them, the air treatment system can also include an air inlet duct 4 arranged at the upstream end of the filter component 11, and a fresh air outlet duct 2 and an oxygen-producing air outlet duct 6 arranged at the downstream end of the filter component 11, the oxygen-producing air outlet duct 6 is connected to the inlet of the second functional module 2, the outlet of the second functional module 2 is connected to the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7, and the third functional module 3 is respectively connected to the fresh air outlet duct 5 and the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7.

[0033] It should be noted that the fresh air and oxygen production functions share the air inlet duct 4, that is, whether the fresh air or oxygen production process is used, the external air enters the air treatment system from the air inlet duct 4. In addition, the fresh air outlet duct 5 and the oxygen production air outlet duct 6 are both arranged at the downstream end of the filter component 11, so that the fresh air and oxygen production processes can share the filter component 11 in the first functional module 1. The sharing here is relative to the related art in which the fresh air and oxygen production are independently provided with modules and thus have their own independent filter components. It should also be noted that the fresh air outlet duct 5 refers to the filtered air blown out from the air treatment system to the room, thereby providing a path for fresh air; the oxygen production air outlet duct 6 refers to the path of the filtered air before oxygen and nitrogen are separated before entering the oxygen production component; the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7 refers to the air rich in oxygen that is blown out to the room after oxygen and nitrogen are separated by the oxygen production component, thereby providing a path for oxygen production.

[0034] Specifically, for the fresh air function, such as Figure 1 As shown by the solid arrow, the air in the environment enters the first functional module 1 from the air inlet pipe 4, passes through the filter assembly 11, and is blown out to the room from the fresh air outlet pipe 5; for the oxygen production function, as shown in FIG. Figure 1As shown by the dotted arrow in the middle, the air in the environment also enters the first functional module 1 from the air inlet pipe 4, and after passing through the filter component 11, enters the second functional module 2 from the oxygen-generating air outlet pipe 6, and after the oxygen and nitrogen in the air are separated by the oxygen-generating component, the nitrogen is blown out to the outside, and the oxygen-enriched air is blown out to the room from the oxygen-enriched air outlet pipe 7; and whether it is in the fresh air function or the oxygen-generating function, such as Figure 1 As shown by the dotted arrows, the functional components generated by the third functional module 3, such as negative ions and fragrance molecules, can be blown into the room along with the fresh air or oxygen-enriched air.

[0035] The technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: the air treatment system provided by the present disclosure can realize both the fresh air and oxygen production functions by setting different functional modules, and by setting the fresh air outlet duct 5 and the oxygen production air outlet duct 6 at the downstream end of the filter component 11, so that the fresh air and oxygen production processes can at least partially share the first functional module 1, thereby reducing the redundancy of parts caused by the completely independent setting of different functional modules, which is conducive to the optimization of the spatial layout of the air conditioning system. At the same time, the third functional module 3 with an ion generator and a fragrance generator is respectively connected to the fresh air outlet duct 5 and the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7, so that the effects of ion purification and fragrance to improve air quality can be achieved while using the fresh air and oxygen production functions.

[0036] In some embodiments, while referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the first functional module 1 also includes a fresh air motor 12, and the air treatment system is also provided with a fresh air outlet 13 connected to the fresh air outlet duct 5, and a fresh air damper 14 is provided at the fresh air outlet 13, and the fresh air damper 14 can open or close the fresh air outlet 13. By providing the fresh air motor 12 and the fresh air damper 14, it is possible to choose whether to turn on the fresh air function according to actual needs, so that the control of the air treatment device provided by the present disclosure is more flexible. For example, when only the oxygen production function is needed, when the fresh air motor 12 and the fresh air damper 14 are both in the closed state, the fresh air damper 14 closes the fresh air outlet 13, and the filtered air will not be blown out from the fresh air outlet 13 into the room.

[0037] The opening or closing of the fresh air damper 14 can be controlled manually or automatically. Taking automatic control as an example, the air treatment system also includes an oxygen concentration monitoring device, which is connected to the fresh air damper 14. The fresh air damper 14 is configured to be able to open or close in response to the information monitored by the oxygen concentration monitoring device. For example, when the oxygen concentration monitoring device detects that the oxygen concentration in the air is lower than a predetermined value, the fresh air damper 14 is closed and the oxygen production function is turned on. Here, the fresh air damper 14 can be controlled by a controller, which is respectively connected to the fresh air damper 14 and the oxygen concentration monitoring device. The controller can be a controller separately configured for the air treatment system, or a controller in the air conditioner that is different from other parts of the air treatment system can be used, which will not be described in detail here.

[0038] As an implementation method for realizing that the third functional module 3 is connected to the fresh air outlet pipeline 5 and the oxygen-enriched air outlet pipeline 7 respectively, Figure 1 As shown, the air treatment system further includes a first functional component delivery pipeline 91 and a second functional component delivery pipeline 92. The third functional module 3 is connected to the fresh air outlet pipeline 5 through the first functional component delivery pipeline 91, and the third functional module 3 is connected to the oxygen-enriched air outlet pipeline 7 through the second functional component delivery pipeline 92. By setting two independent functional component delivery pipelines, it is convenient to select the functional component delivery path, and the flexibility of system control is further improved.

[0039] According to the second aspect of the embodiment of the present disclosure, Figure 3 As shown, an air conditioner is also provided, which includes any one of the air treatment systems mentioned above and has all its beneficial effects, which will not be repeated here.

[0040] The air handling system includes but is not limited to a split air conditioner, an integrated air conditioner, or an oxygen concentrator. Different from a split air conditioner, an integrated air conditioner and an oxygen concentrator only have an indoor unit, so the multiple functional modules and their connecting pipes in the above embodiments are all arranged in the indoor unit. Figure 3 As shown, it includes two parts, an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit 200, wherein the first functional module 1 and the third functional module 3 are arranged in the indoor unit 100, the second functional module 2 is arranged in the outdoor unit 200, and the outlet of the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7 is connected to the indoor unit 100.

[0041] The first functional module 1 is an indoor fresh air / oxygen production module, and the second functional module 2 is an outdoor oxygen production module. Taking the oxygen production process as an example, the fresh air motor 12 and the fresh air damper 14 are closed, and the vacuum pump 21 is turned on to provide a power source for air flow. The air enters the indoor unit 100 from the air inlet pipe 4, and after being filtered by the filter component 11, it enters the vacuum pump 21 in the outdoor unit 200 from the fresh air outlet pipe 5. After being compressed into high-pressure air by the vacuum pump 21, it enters the molecular sieve 22. The molecular sieve 22 separates nitrogen and oxygen in the air, and the oxygen-enriched air enters the indoor unit 100 through the oxygen-enriched air outlet pipe 7.

[0042] Furthermore, the outlet of the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7 is connected to the main air duct of the indoor unit 100. The main air duct here is different from the fresh air outlet duct 5, and refers to the air duct from the indoor unit 100 to the room after the air is heat-exchanged by the evaporator, which is the core channel of the cooling and heating functions of the air conditioner. By connecting the outlet of the oxygen-enriched air outlet duct 7 to the main air duct of the indoor unit 100, on the one hand, the oxygen-enriched air can be blown out to the room together with the air in the main air duct, and on the other hand, the number of air ducts can be reduced, and the structure is simpler.

[0043] In addition, if Figure 3 As shown, the indoor unit 100 is also provided with an air inlet 15 connected to the air inlet pipe 4, and the air inlet 15 is arranged on the side of the indoor unit 100. The air inlet 15 is arranged on the side, which is more conducive to avoiding dust accumulation in the air inlet 15 than on the top, and the air inlet 15 is arranged on the side, which is also more concealed and more beautiful.

[0044] Combine the following Figures 1 to 4 An exemplary complete control process for an air handling system and an air conditioner is provided.

[0045] When the fresh air function is running, the fresh air motor 12 and the fresh air damper 14 are turned on, and the air enters the first functional module 1 from the air inlet 15 through the air inlet duct 4, and after being filtered by the filter component 11, it reaches the fresh air outlet 13 through the fresh air outlet duct 5. At the same time, the third functional module 3 is turned on, and the generated functional components are transported to the fresh air outlet duct 5, and then blown out into the room together with the fresh air.

[0046] When the oxygen production function is running, the wind motor 12 and the fresh air damper 14 are closed, and the vacuum pump 21 in the outdoor unit is turned on to provide a power source for air flow. The air enters the first functional module 1 from the air inlet 15 through the air inlet pipeline 4, and after being filtered by the filter component 11, it enters the vacuum pump 21 from the oxygen production air outlet pipeline 6. The air entering the vacuum pump 21 is compressed into high-pressure air by the vacuum pump 21 and then enters the molecular sieve 22. The molecular sieve 22 separates nitrogen and oxygen in the air, and the oxygen-enriched air enters the indoor unit 100 through the oxygen-enriched air outlet pipeline 7 and is blown out from the main air duct of the air conditioner.
