Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a humidifying mechanism and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] "Humidification" is the process of increasing the humidity of the air. Traditional humidification devices are usually small machines that only have the function of humidification. Their working principle is to bring water vapor into the air through different methods such as cold evaporation and ultrasound, thereby increasing the humidity of the air. Nowadays, humidification mechanisms are generally added to air conditioners to achieve the function of humidifying the room, and are widely used in various households.

[0003] As people's needs grow, humidification mechanisms usually have to achieve multiple functions such as humidification and air purification, which requires integrating the water storage structure and filter structure required for humidification into an overall humidification mechanism. The current humidification mechanism usually takes out the entire mechanism to add water or replace the filter. However, in actual use, the frequency of adding water far exceeds the frequency of replacing the filter. Every time water needs to be added, the entire humidification mechanism needs to be taken out, which brings great inconvenience to consumers and affects the stability of the humidification mechanism. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0039] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "vertical direction", "upper", "lower", "horizontal" and the like indicate directions or positional relationships based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention. In addition, "first", "second", "third", and "fourth" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0040] In the description of the present invention, it is also necessary to explain that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "set", "install", "connect", and "connect" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection, a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, a direct connection, or a connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0041] The existing humidification mechanism usually requires the entire mechanism to be taken out to add water or replace the filter. However, in actual use, the frequency of adding water far exceeds the frequency of replacing the filter. Every time water needs to be added, the entire humidification mechanism needs to be taken out and then put back into the device after adding water. This brings great inconvenience to consumers and affects the stability of the humidification mechanism.

[0042] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a humidifying mechanism, which is structurally designed for the functions of adding water and changing filters respectively. The two functions are implemented separately. When only water is added, there is no need to remove the entire humidifying mechanism from the device, making it more convenient for consumers to use.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment of the present application provides a humidification mechanism, including: a housing 10, a humidification component 20 and a fan component 30, wherein the humidification component 20 and the fan component 30 are arranged in the housing 10. In a working state, the fan component 30 draws air into the housing 10, humidifies and purifies the air through the humidification component 20, and then blows the air out into the room, thereby achieving humidification and air purification in the room.

[0044] In some embodiments, the housing 10 includes a back plate 11 and a cover plate 12. The back plate 11 is vertically arranged and has a receiving groove 111 on the side. The cover plate 12 is detachably covered on the notch of the receiving groove 111 and is surrounded by the back plate 11 to form a receiving cavity. The fan assembly 30 and the humidification assembly 20 are arranged in the receiving cavity.

[0045] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the humidifying assembly 20 includes a water receiving tray module 21 , a track base 22 and a filter element 23 .

[0046] See also Figure 1-3 Specifically, in some embodiments, the water tray module 21 includes a water tray 211 and a sliding member 212 disposed at the bottom of the water tray 211; one end of the filter element 23 is fixed in the water tray 211 to absorb water in the water tray 211; the fan assembly 30 works so that the airflow passes through the filter element 23, is humidified and purified by the filter element 23, and then blown out to the room by the fan assembly 30. It can be understood that in some preferred embodiments, the upper end of the filter element 23 protrudes from the water tray 211, so that the airflow can quickly and fully contact the filter element 23 over a large area.

[0047] Specifically, in some embodiments, a fixed track 221 is provided on the top surface of the track base 22 along its length direction, and the water tray module 21 is slidably connected to the fixed track 221 through a sliding member 212. The sliding member 212 slides on the fixed track 221 to extend the water tray 211 out of the housing 10 for water addition. Correspondingly, a water tray notch 1112 is provided on one side wall of the accommodating groove 111 at a position corresponding to the end of the water tray 211. In this way, the water tray 211 assembly can slide out of the housing 10 through the water tray notch 1112 to add water.

[0048] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, a handle 2111 is fixedly provided at one end of the water tray 211 close to the water tray notch 1112 , so that the user can pull the water tray module 21 out of the accommodating cavity by acting on the handle 2111 .

[0049] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be noted that the housing 10 further includes a sealing cover 13 which is sealed at the water tray notch 1112 to ensure the sealing performance of the humidifying mechanism during operation. When water needs to be added, the sealing cover 13 only needs to be opened or removed, and the sealing connection method between the sealing cover 13 and the water tray notch 1112 is not specifically limited.

[0050] See also Figure 3-5 In some embodiments, the sliding member 212 and the fixed track 221 both include a horizontal plate and two vertical plates extending vertically from the two ends of the horizontal plate, forming a U-shape. The sliding member 212 is buckled on the outside of the fixed track 221, so that the sliding member 212 slides along the fixed track 221. Furthermore, the fixed track 221 also includes a support plate 2211 extending vertically toward each other from the vertical plates on both sides. The support plate 2211 serves as a support surface to abut against the horizontal plate of the sliding member 212, thereby increasing the contact area between the sliding member 212 and the fixed track 221, so that the water receiving tray 211 fixed to the sliding member 212 is more stable during the sliding process. It can be understood that the sliding member 212 and the fixed track 221 under this setting can be formed by extrusion, which has high production efficiency, and can be cut into different lengths as needed, with strong versatility.

[0051] Furthermore, a stop block 2222 protruding from the bottom of the U-shaped groove is provided inside the fixed track 221, which is used to limit the sliding distance of the sliding member 212. The sliding member 212 includes a boss 2121 protruding from the bottom of the groove. With the plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding member 212 as the projection plane, the projection of the stop block 2222 in the projection plane coincides with the projection of the boss 2121 on the projection plane. The stop block 2222 is located between the boss 2121 and the water tray notch 1112. When the sliding member 212 slides to a certain position in the direction of the water tray notch 1112, the boss 2121 abuts against the stop block 2222, and the sliding member 212 stops sliding. In this way, when water needs to be added, only part of the water tray 211 needs to be pulled out for water addition, so that the water tray 211 can be directly pushed into the receiving tank 111 after water addition is completed, simplifying the operation; at the same time, it can also avoid the filter element 23 protruding from the water tray 211 from colliding with the wall of the receiving tank 111, causing the filter element 23 to deform and other defects. Specifically, the length of the withdrawable part of the water tray 211 can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the stop block 2222 and the boss 2121.

[0052] It is understandable that the stop block 2222 can be formed by punching the bottom of the U-shaped groove of the fixed rail 221, and the production process is simple and the precision is high.

[0053] See also Figure 6 In some other embodiments, the sliding member 212 may also be T-shaped, specifically including a horizontal plate and a sliding block 2122 disposed in the middle of the horizontal plate and protruding from the plane of the horizontal plate. The sliding block 2122 is inserted between the two support plates 2211 of the fixed track 221. Taking the plane perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding member 212 as the projection plane, the orthographic projection of the sliding block 2122 on the projection plane partially overlaps or completely overlaps with the orthographic projection of the stop block 2222 on the projection plane. It can be understood that the length of the sliding block 2122 is less than the length of the fixed track 221, and the stop block 2222 is located between the sliding block 2122 and the water tray notch 1112. When the sliding member 212 slides to a certain position toward the water tray notch 1112, the sliding block 2122 abuts against the stop block 2222, and the sliding member 212 stops sliding.

[0054] It is understandable that the sliding member 212 can also be an I-shaped shape that can be slidably connected to the fixed track 221, but is not limited thereto. In addition, the sliding member 212 and the fixed track 221 are sandblasted and oxidized respectively, so that the sliding member 212 can slide along the fixed track 221 more smoothly.

[0055] It should be noted that the number of sliding members 212 and fixed rails 221 can be determined according to the width of the water tray 211, and can be one group or multiple groups arranged in parallel; it can also be two fixed rails 221 with one sliding member 212, or other settings that can achieve smooth sliding of the water tray 211, which are not limited here.

[0056] See also Figure 7 Furthermore, the rail base 22 is horizontally inserted into the accommodating groove 111 and is slidably connected to the back plate 11 along its width direction. When the filter element 23 needs to be replaced or the water tray 211 needs to be cleaned, the rail base 22 only needs to be horizontally pulled out toward the notch of the accommodating groove 111.

[0057] In this embodiment, the two end surfaces of the track base 22 in the width direction abut against the back plate 11 and the cover plate 12 respectively, and are fixed between the back plate 11 and the cover plate 12. The bottom surface of the track base 22 abuts against the first side wall 1111 located below the accommodating groove 111, and can be drawn out and inserted into the accommodating groove 111 along the abutting surface. When it is necessary to replace the filter element 23 or clean the water tray 211, the cover plate 12 is first removed, the track base 22 is drawn out from the accommodating groove 111, and the water tray 211 assembly slidably connected to the track base 22 is drawn out together.

[0058] See also Figure 3 and Figure 7 Specifically, one end face of the rail base 22 in the width direction abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove 111, and the end face is provided with protruding transverse and longitudinal ridges 222; as a match, the inner wall of the receiving groove 111 is provided with a slot 113, and these ridges 222 are embedded in the slot 113, so that the rail base 22 is fixed relative to the receiving groove 111 in its length direction and height direction, and the rail base 22 is prevented from slipping in the receiving groove 111. In this embodiment, a fixing portion 223 is further provided at one end of the rail base 22, which is embedded in the side wall of the receiving groove 111 to further fix the rail base 22.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, one or more spaced handles 224 are provided at one end of the track base 22 facing the cover plate 12. When the filter element 23 needs to be replaced or the water tray 211 needs to be cleaned, the handle 224 is acted on to pull the entire humidification assembly 20 out of the accommodating groove 111 along the width direction of the track base 22.

[0060] See also Figure 1 and Figure 8Furthermore, the fan assembly 30 is arranged parallel to the top of the humidification assembly 20. Specifically, the fan assembly 30 adopts a long strip fan, and its air inlet side is arranged opposite to the filter element 23; its air outlet side is arranged opposite to the cover plate 12. As a match, the cover plate 12 is provided with an air outlet 121 at a position opposite to the air outlet of the fan assembly 30. In this way, the thickness of the humidification mechanism can be reduced, and it can be applied to ultra-thin air conditioners, thereby improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0061] In some embodiments, a first latching position 112 protruding from the bottom of the groove is provided in the accommodating groove 111, and the cover plate 12 is provided with a second latching position 122 protruding toward the filter element 23. The first latching position 112 and the second latching position 122 are located below the air inlet end of the fan assembly 30, and are respectively provided on opposite sides of the filter element 23, so that the accommodating cavity is divided into a fan accommodating space located above and a humidification accommodating space located below. The airflow entering the humidification accommodating space enters the fan accommodating space from between the first latching position 112 and the second latching position 122, and then is blown out into the room.

[0062] Preferably, the first clamping position 112 and the second clamping position 122 abut against the opposite end surfaces of the filter element 23, so that the airflow entering the fan accommodating space is the humidified airflow humidified by the filter element 23, thereby improving the humidification efficiency. In this case, a chamfered surface can be provided on the end surface of the first clamping position 112 and the second clamping position 122 in the humidification accommodating space to guide the airflow to the filter element 23, avoid airflow turbulence, and accelerate the flow rate of the airflow.

[0063] Furthermore, in some other embodiments, the shell 10 is also provided with a protective net 14 with air holes, and the protective net 14 is arranged between the fan assembly 30 and the humidification assembly 20, dividing the accommodating cavity into a fan accommodating space located at the top and a humidification accommodating space located at the bottom, and the airflow entering the humidification accommodating space enters the fan accommodating space through the air holes, and then is blown out to the room.

[0064] Preferably, the top of the filter element 23 abuts against the protective net 14 and covers the air holes, so that the airflow entering the fan accommodating space is all humidified airflow humidified by the filter element 23, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0065] See also Fig. 9In some embodiments, at least one stopper 213 is provided inside the water tray 211 to position the filter element 23, so that the user can quickly replace the filter element 23 to avoid the filter element 23 being misplaced and affecting the humidification effect. In some embodiments, the stopper 213 can be a bent stopper baffle, and the filter element 23 is fixed in the space formed by the stopper baffle and a corner of the water tray 211. In other embodiments, the stopper 213 can also be two bent stopper baffles, which are arranged at the diagonal position of the filter element 23, and the filter element 23 is fixed in the space formed by the two stopper baffles. The stopper 213 can also be two bent stopper baffles, which are arranged on the same side of the filter element 23, and the filter element 23 is fixed in the space formed by the two stopper baffles and the side wall of the water tray 211. It can be understood that the shape and number of the stopper 213 depend on the actual setting of the filter element 23 and are not limited here.

[0066] Furthermore, the water tray module 21 is also provided with a water level gauge 214 for monitoring the water level so that the user can add water in time. Specifically, the water level gauge 214 is a float water level gauge 214, which is arranged in the water tray 211. Preferably, the float water level gauge 214 is fixedly connected to one of the limit members 213.

[0067] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, when the humidifying mechanism is used alone, an air inlet can be opened at a position where the cover plate 12 or the back plate 11 is directly opposite to the humidifying accommodation space, so that the airflow can enter the humidifying accommodation space, and then enter the fan accommodation space after being humidified and purified by the filter element 23, and then blown out by the fan. In other embodiments, the humidifying mechanism 100 can also be applied to other devices provided with a humidifying function, such as an air conditioner. The air inlet in this case can be set in combination with the specific situation, which will not be described in detail here.

[0068] Furthermore, the housing 10 also includes a panel decoration, which is covered on the outside of the cover plate 12 and has corresponding through holes for air inlet and outlet, so that the overall appearance of the humidification mechanism 100 is more beautiful.

[0069] See also Figure 1 and Fig.10 The embodiment of the present application also provides an air conditioner, including a heating mechanism 200 and the above-mentioned humidifying mechanism 100, and the humidifying mechanism 100 is arranged above the heating mechanism 200. In this embodiment, the first side wall 1111 opens a plurality of channels, and the heated airflow passes upward through the first side wall 1111 into the humidifying accommodation space, and then continues to enter the fan accommodation space upward after being humidified and purified by the filter element 23, and finally blows out through the air outlet 121, forming an airflow flow channel from bottom to top, reducing the thickness of the air conditioner, and better meeting the aesthetic needs of consumers.

[0070] It should be noted that the above-mentioned arrangement of the air flow channel does not constitute a limitation on the technical solution of the present application. In some other embodiments, the heating mechanism and the humidifying mechanism can also be arranged horizontally and in parallel, and be located on the side of the receiving tank away from the water tray gap. The heated airflow passes through the side wall of the receiving tank and enters the humidification receiving space, and then enters the fan receiving space upward after humidification and purification by the filter element. This is not limited to this.

[0071] Compared with the prior art, the humidification mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0072] (1) By providing a water receiving tray assembly that can be slidably extended from the housing and a humidifying assembly that can be withdrawn as a whole, the two functions of adding water and replacing the filter element can be realized separately, so as to facilitate operation;

[0073] (2) By setting a stop block to limit the sliding distance of the sliding member, it is possible to prevent the filter element protruding from the water tray from hitting the housing, or the entire water tray assembly from being pulled out due to excessive force, causing inconvenience in use;

[0074] (3) A protective net with air holes is used to separate the humidification component and the fan component into two accommodating spaces, and the air holes are covered at the ends of the filter element to improve the humidification efficiency;

[0075] (4) By arranging the fan assembly and the humidification assembly in a vertical plane, the overall thickness of the humidification mechanism can be effectively reduced, making it easier to assemble into various devices to achieve the humidification function, with strong applicability and more aesthetics.

[0076] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, and the utility model is also intended to include these modifications and modifications.
