[0045] The fan is disposed between the discharge port 500 of the humidifier 20 and the outdoor heat exchanger 40 , thereby enabling the water mist discharged from the discharge port 500 of the humidifier 20 to flow quickly to the outdoor heat exchanger 40 to cool the outdoor heat exchanger 40 .

[0046] In the embodiment of the utility model, the air conditioner 1 includes an air conditioner outdoor unit 10, a humidifying device 20 and an air supply device 30.

[0047] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 also includes a liquid inlet pipe 50, which can be a PVC hard pipe. One end of the liquid inlet pipe 50 is used to receive condensed water from the air-conditioning indoor unit 400, and the other end of the liquid inlet pipe 50 is connected to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20. The liquid inlet pipe 50 is configured to allow the condensed liquid from the air-conditioning indoor unit 400 to flow into the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20.

[0048] Among them, one end of the liquid inlet pipe 50 can be connected to the condensed water outlet pipe of the indoor unit of the air conditioner 1 to receive the condensed water of the indoor unit of the air conditioner 1.

[0049] Among them, the liquid inlet pipe 50 is used to allow the condensed water of the air-conditioning indoor unit 400 to flow through it to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20, which fully utilizes the condensed water of the air conditioner 1, improves the utilization efficiency of the condensed water of the air conditioner 1, improves resource utilization, and saves resources.

[0050] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 further comprises a first switch valve 70 , which is disposed on the liquid inlet pipe 50 , and is configured to control the opening and closing of the liquid inlet pipe 50 .

[0051] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the first switch valve 70 is configured to control the liquid inlet pipe 50 to be conductive when the external ambient temperature exceeds a preset temperature value.

[0052] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the preset temperature value is 37°C-39°C, preferably 38°C.

[0053] Among them, when the external ambient temperature exceeds the preset temperature value, it means that the outdoor temperature is high and the air conditioner 1 may be in cooling mode. At this time, it is necessary to cool the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40. At this time, the first switch valve 70 controls the liquid inlet pipe 50 to be turned on, so that the condensed water of the indoor unit flows through the liquid inlet pipe 50 to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 in the air conditioner outdoor unit 10 so that the humidifying device 20 cools the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40, so that the temperature of the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 drops rapidly.

[0054] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner 1 further includes a drain pipe 80 and a second switch valve 100. The drain pipe 80 may be a PVC hard pipe, one end of the drain pipe 80 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 50, and the other end of the drain pipe 80 extends into the external liquid storage device 90. The second switch valve 100 is disposed on the drain pipe 80, and the second switch valve 100 is configured to control the conduction and shutoff of the drain pipe 80, wherein the second switch valve 100 is configured to control the conduction of the drain pipe 80 when the first switch valve 70 shuts off the liquid inlet pipe 50, so that the condensed water of the air conditioner indoor unit 400 flows to the external liquid storage device 90 through the drain pipe 80.

[0055] The drain pipe 80 may be optionally connected to the side wall of the inlet pipe 50 . The drain pipe 80 and the inlet pipe 50 may be connected in one piece or in a separate piece, and the present invention does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0056] In addition, the first switch valve 70 is disposed on the liquid inlet pipe 50 and is lower than the end of the liquid discharge pipe 80 communicating with the liquid inlet pipe 50 .

[0057] Among them, when the first switch valve 70 shuts off the liquid inlet pipe 50, it means that the outdoor unit ambient temperature is lower than or equal to the preset temperature at this time, the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 does not need to be cooled, and the condensed water in the indoor unit of the air conditioner 1 no longer needs to flow to the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 through the liquid inlet pipe 50. Therefore, the second switch valve 100 controls the drain pipe 80 to be turned on, so that the condensed water in the indoor unit of the air conditioner 400 can flow smoothly through the drain pipe 80 to the external liquid storage device 90.

[0058] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, the second switch valve 100 is further configured to control the discharge pipe 80 to be turned on when the first switch valve 70 controls the liquid inlet pipe 50 to be turned on and the water level in the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 is lower than a preset water level value, so that the liquid in the external liquid storage device 90 flows to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 in sequence through the discharge pipe 80 and the part of the liquid inlet pipe 50 connected to the discharge pipe 80.

[0059] Among them, the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 is generally provided with a water level detection device for detecting the water level of the water tank 60. The water level detection device can be optionally a water level sensor. The water level of the water tank 60 can be known through the water level detection device in the water tank 60, and then it can be determined whether the water level of the water tank 60 is lower than the preset water level value.

[0060] Among them, when the first switch valve 70 controls the liquid inlet pipe 50 to be turned on and the water level in the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 is lower than the preset water level value, it means that the water amount in the water tank 60 is insufficient. At this time, the second switch valve 100 controls the discharge pipe 80 to be turned on, and the liquid in the external liquid storage device 90 can flow to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 through the discharge pipe 80 and the part of the liquid inlet pipe 50 connected to the discharge pipe 80, so that the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 can be quickly replenished with liquid from the external liquid storage device 90, thereby ensuring the cooling efficiency of the humidifying device 20 on the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 and cooling the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 as soon as possible.

[0061] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the utility model, the air conditioner 1 also includes a pump 200, which is arranged on the drain pipe 80. The pump 200 is configured to be turned on when the first switch valve 70 is turned on and the water level in the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 is lower than a preset water level value, so as to prompt the liquid in the external liquid storage device 90 to flow quickly to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 through the drain pipe 80 and the part of the liquid inlet pipe 50 connected to the drain pipe 80 in turn.

[0062] Among them, the arrangement of the pump 200 on the drain pipe 80 can enable the first switch valve 70 to be turned on and the liquid in the external liquid storage device 90 to flow to the water tank 60 as quickly as possible when the water level in the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 is lower than the preset water level value, so that the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 can be replenished with liquid from the external liquid storage device 90 more quickly, thereby further ensuring the cooling efficiency of the humidifying device 20 and allowing the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 to cool down as quickly as possible.

[0063] In some preferred or alternative embodiments of the present invention, a water receiving tank 300 for receiving water flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger 40 is disposed at the bottom of the outdoor heat exchanger 40 .

[0064] The water receiving tank 300 may be opened upward so that the condensed water flowing through the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 can flow into the water receiving tank 300 .

[0065] The following is a detailed description of the application of the air conditioner 1 proposed by the utility model in actual situations.

[0066] When the external ambient temperature exceeds a preset temperature value, the first switch valve 70 controls the liquid inlet pipe 50 to be turned on and the air supply device 30 to be turned on, so that the condensed water of the indoor unit flows through the liquid inlet pipe 50 to the water tank 60 of the humidifying device 20 in the air-conditioning outdoor unit 10, and the first fan causes the water mist discharged from the discharge port 500 of the humidifying device 20 to flow to the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40 to cool the outdoor unit heat exchanger 40.
