However, on the one hand, the air conditioners in the related art, under the premise of integrating multiple additional functions, often make the airflow pass through multiple functional structures at the same time. For example, in the fresh air or internal circulation mode, in addition to the need for the airflow to pass through the filter, the airflow also needs to pass through the wet film, thereby increasing the airflow resistance and reducing the air volume; and in the humidification mode, in addition to the need for the airflow to pass through the wet film, the airflow also needs to pass through the filter, which will also increase the resistance and reduce the air volume. On the other hand, if the position switching of the valve structure is used to change the direction of the airflow so that the airflow does not need to pass through redundant functional structures, the direction of the airflow channel and the setting position of each component need to adapt to each other, especially considering the structure and position of the valve, which is easy to cause redundancy in the design structure and space, so that the air conditioner in the related art is difficult to achieve the requirements of integrating multiple additional functions and compact structure at the same time under the setting of switching the airflow channel through the valve.

Based on the requirement of changing the direction of airflow so that the airflow passes through one of the filter component and the humidification component but not the other, the related art often uses multiple sets of valves to control the opening and closing states of each airflow channel respectively, or uses a complex valve structure, which makes the valve occupy too much internal space. In contrast, the solution of the utility model only changes the direction of airflow by switching the first valve between different positions. In particular, since the first valve is arranged at the junction of the first chamber, the second chamber and the third chamber, the first valve only needs to move slightly to open and close the opening, and the space occupied by the first valve is small, which makes it easier for the air treatment module to arrange various types of functional structures (such as filter components, humidification components, etc.) in each chamber. Therefore, the shell component of the utility model changes the direction of airflow through the first valve, so that the airflow does not need to pass through redundant functional structures, and the movement amplitude and occupied space of the first valve are smaller, so that the valve can be simplified, and it is convenient to arrange more and more types of functional structures in the chamber to achieve functional diversification.

[0064] 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 of 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.

[0065] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0066] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or", "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0067] As people's requirements for indoor air quality are getting higher and higher, many air conditioners will integrate various additional functions such as purification and humidification. However, on the one hand, the air conditioners in the related art, under the premise of integrating multiple additional functions, often make the airflow pass through multiple functional structures at the same time. For example, in the fresh air or internal circulation mode, in addition to the need for the airflow to pass through the filter, the airflow also needs to pass through the wet film, thereby increasing the airflow resistance and reducing the air volume; and in the humidification mode, in addition to the need for the airflow to pass through the wet film, the airflow also needs to pass through the filter, which will also increase the resistance and reduce the air volume. On the other hand, if the position switching of the valve structure is used to change the direction of the airflow so that the airflow does not need to pass through redundant functional structures, the direction of the airflow channel and the setting position of each component need to adapt to each other, especially considering the structure and position of the valve, which is easy to cause redundancy in the design structure and space, so that the air conditioner in the related art is difficult to achieve the requirements of integrating multiple additional functions and compact structure at the same time under the setting of switching the airflow channel through the valve.

[0068] In view of this, see Figure 1-Figure 14 In an embodiment of the utility model, a shell assembly 100 is provided for an air treatment module 200. More specifically, in some embodiments, the shell assembly 100 can be connected to a first area located outside and a second area located outside, based on which the air treatment module 200 can allow the air in the first area to circulate with the air in the second area; in other embodiments, the two openings of the shell assembly 100 can be connected to the first area located outside respectively, based on which the air treatment module 200 can absorb the air in the first area and re-introduce it into the first area after passing through the inner cavity of the shell assembly 100. It should be noted that the outside described in the utility model refers to the area outside the structure of the shell assembly 100 itself, that is, in different embodiments, the outside can be indoors or outdoors.

[0069] The housing assembly 100 includes a housing body 110, a first partition plate 120, a second partition plate 130 and a first valve 150. Figure 1-Figure 4, the shell body 110 defines a first chamber 111 suitable for setting the filter component 210, a second chamber 112 suitable for setting the humidification component 220, and a third chamber 113 suitable for setting the air supply component 230. It can be understood that the first chamber 111, the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113 are all inner cavities of the shell body 110 itself, and each chamber is suitable for setting each component as above. More specifically, the airflow is suitable for passing through the filter component 210, and the filter component 210 can filter and purify the airflow. Due to the above function, the filter component 210 can specifically include a HEPA filter or a filter element; on the other hand, the airflow is also suitable for passing through the humidification component 220, and the humidification component 220 can humidify the airflow. Due to the above function, the humidification component 220 can specifically include a wet film, or any humidification component suitable for absorbing liquid. In addition, the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are respectively connected to the same side of the third chamber 113. In the present utility model, the connection form of each chamber (including the first chamber 111, the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113, etc.) can be direct connection or indirect connection (that is, other structures can be provided between the two connected chambers). In addition, the air supply component 230 is used to drive the airflow. According to the above functions, the air supply component 230 can be a wind turbine, and in order to make the flow direction of the airflow more stable, in some embodiments, the shell body 110 can also define an air supply channel for guiding the airflow and providing airflow flow; in other embodiments, the air supply channel can be defined by the air supply component 230, that is, the channel formed by the air supply component 230 itself, or the air supply channel can be defined by the air supply component 230 and the shell body 110. For ease of description, the following is an embodiment in which the outer peripheral wall of the air supply component 230 and the inner peripheral wall of the shell jointly define the air supply channel so that the air supply component 230 can transport the airflow along the air supply channel.

[0070] See also Figure 3The first partition 120 is disposed between the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113, and the first partition 120 is provided with a first opening 121 connecting the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113. Similarly, the second partition 130 is disposed between the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113, and the second partition 130 is provided with a second opening 131 connecting the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113. It can be understood that one side of the first partition 120 can be used to define the first chamber 111, and the other side can be used to define the third chamber 113, and one side of the second partition 130 can be used to define the second chamber 112, and the other side can be used to define the third chamber 113, so that the first partition 120 can separate the first chamber 111 from the third chamber 113, and the second partition 130 can separate the second chamber 112 from the third chamber 113. In addition, for the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 , the first partition 120 and / or the second partition 130 may separate the first chamber 111 from the second chamber 112 , or the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 may be separated by other partition structures.

[0071] See also Figure 3 The first valve 150 is disposed at the junction of the first chamber 111, the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113, and is movably connected to the shell body 110. Based on the above-mentioned first opening 121 and second opening 131, see Figure 4 as well as Figure 7 The first valve 150 is configured to be able to move to a first position and a second position relative to the shell body 110. The first valve 150 is configured to open the first opening 121 and close the second opening 131 when it is in the first position. The first valve 150 is also configured to close the first opening 121 and open the second opening 131 when it is in the second position. Combined with the description that each chamber is suitable for arranging each type of component (filter component 210, humidification component 220, air supply component 230), it can be understood that, see Figure 4 When the first valve 150 is in the first position, the airflow can be interconnected between the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113 without passing through the second chamber 112, that is, the airflow does not pass through the humidification component 220. At this time, the air treatment module 200 can be in the purification mode; similarly, see Figure 7When the first valve 150 is located at the second position, the airflow can be interconnected between the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113 without passing through the first chamber 111, that is, the airflow does not pass through the filter assembly 210, and the air treatment module 200 can be in the humidification mode at this time. More specifically, taking the effect of the first valve 150 on the first opening 121 as an example, the first valve 150 can cover the first opening 121 by blocking, thereby closing the first opening 121; on the contrary, the first valve 150 can open the first opening 121 by not blocking the first opening 121 or partially blocking the first opening 121. The first valve 150 can also be driven to different positions by any suitable control method to open or close the first opening 121. For example, the movement form of the first valve 150 can be translational movement; in addition, the movement form of the first valve 150 can also be rotational movement.

[0072] According to the combination of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the shell assembly 100 of the utility model solution includes a shell body 110, a first partition 120, a second partition 130 and a first valve 150. Among them, the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are respectively connected to the same side of the third chamber 113. The first partition 120 is arranged between the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113, and the first partition 120 is provided with a first opening 121 connecting the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113. The second partition 130 is arranged between the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113, and the second partition 130 is provided with a second opening 131 connecting the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113. The first valve 150 is arranged at the junction of the first chamber 111, the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113, and is movably connected to the shell body 110. The first valve 150 is configured to be able to move to a first position and a second position relative to the shell body 110. The first valve 150 is configured to open the first opening 121 and close the second opening 131 when in the first position. The first valve 150 is also configured to close the first opening 121 and open the second opening 131 when in the second position. Based on the requirement of changing the direction of airflow so that the airflow passes through one of the filter component 210 and the humidification component 220 but not the other, the related art often adopts multiple sets of valves to respectively control the opening and closing states of each airflow channel, or adopts a complex valve structure, which makes the valve occupy too much internal space. In comparison, the solution of the utility model only changes the direction of airflow by switching the first valve 150 between different positions. In particular, since the first valve 150 is arranged at the junction of the first chamber 111, the second chamber 112 and the third chamber 113, the first valve 150 only needs to move slightly to open and close the opening, and the first valve 150 occupies a smaller space, which makes it easier for the air treatment module 200 to arrange various types of functional structures (such as the filter component 210, the humidification component 220, etc.) in each chamber. Therefore, the shell assembly 100 of the utility model changes the direction of the airflow through the first valve 150 so that the airflow does not need to pass through redundant functional structures, while making the movement range and occupied space of the first valve 150 smaller, thereby simplifying the valve and facilitating the arrangement of a larger number and a greater variety of functional structures in the chamber to achieve functional diversification.

[0073] The structural shape of the first valve 150 can be determined according to the requirements, and can be a plate-like structure, and can be designed according to the cross-sectional shapes of the first opening 121 and the second opening 131. As for the specific movement form of the first valve 150, in some embodiments, the first partition 120 and the second partition 130 jointly define a through hole, and the first valve 150 is penetrated in the through hole, so that the first valve 150 can rotate relative to the shell body 110 and switch between the first position and the second position. Specifically, in some embodiments, the first partition 120 and the second partition 130 can be manufactured as one piece, and jointly define a through hole suitable for rotationally connecting with the first valve 150; in other embodiments, the first partition 120 and the second partition 130 can be a split structure, and the through hole is defined after the two are combined.

[0074] See also Figure 3 In some embodiments, the shell body 110 includes a first shell portion 114 defining a first chamber 111. It can be understood that the first shell portion 114 is a shell structure that the shell body 110 can enclose the first chamber 111. Similarly, in some embodiments, the shell body 110 also includes a second shell portion 115 defining a second chamber 112 and a third shell portion 116 defining a third chamber 113, and the shell body 110 can be composed of the first shell portion 114, the second shell portion 115 and the third shell portion 116. Based on this, in some embodiments, any one or more of the first shell portion 114, the second shell portion 115 and the third shell portion 116 can be an independent shell structure; correspondingly, in other embodiments, the first shell portion 114, the second shell portion 115 and the third shell portion 116 can be manufactured as a whole, and the inner side structures of the three are combined to form the inner cavity of the shell body 110, and the outer side structures are combined to form the outer peripheral wall of the shell body 110.

[0075] Based on the first shell 114 defined above, in order to achieve more diverse wind guide requirements, in some embodiments, the first shell 114 has a third opening 1141 connected to the outside; similarly, in some embodiments, the second shell 115 has a fourth opening 1151 connected to the outside. Figure 4In some embodiments, the first shell 114 further has a fifth opening 1142, the third opening 1141 is connected to the first area outside, and the fourth opening 1151 and the fifth opening 1142 are both connected to the second area outside. For ease of description, the following is an embodiment in which the third opening 1141 is connected to the outside, and the fourth opening 1151 and the fifth opening 1142 are both connected to the indoor. Based on the above configuration, since the fourth opening 1151 and the fifth opening 1142 are both connected to the indoor, and the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 corresponding to the two openings are respectively suitable for setting the filter component 210 and the humidification component 220, the air treatment module 200 can filter and humidify the airflow in different modes.

[0076] Further, in order to facilitate the control of the opening and closing states of the third opening 1141 and the fifth opening 1142 in different states, see Figure 4-Figure 6 In some embodiments, the housing assembly 100 further includes a second valve 160, which is configured to be able to move to a third position and a fourth position relative to the housing body 110. Specifically, the second valve 160 can be configured to open the third opening 1141 and close the fifth opening 1142 when located at the third position; correspondingly, the second valve 160 can also be configured to close the third opening 1141 and open the fifth opening 1142 when located at the fourth position. Therefore, the configuration of the second valve 160 can refer to the relevant description of the first valve 150, which will not be repeated here, and the configuration of the second valve 160 can be the same as or different from that of the first valve 150. More specifically, the function of opening and closing the opening of the second valve 160 is combined with the configuration of the third opening 1141 and the fifth opening 1142. In some embodiments, when the second valve 160 is located in the third position, the air treatment module 200 can be in a fresh air mode or an exhaust mode, and the airflow can flow into the first chamber 111 only through the third opening 1141 or flow into the outside through the third opening 1141; similarly, when the second valve 160 is located in the fourth position, the air treatment module 200 can be in a purification mode, and the airflow can flow into the first chamber 111 only through the fifth opening 1142 in the connected room, and flow into the room again after filtering by the filter assembly 210.

[0077] For the configuration of the airflow channel in the shell body 110, based on the first shell portion 114, the second shell portion 115 and the third shell portion 116 defined in the above embodiment, see Figure 4In some embodiments, the first shell 114 and the second shell 115 are arranged relative to each other along the first direction X, and the third chamber 113 includes a first portion 1161 and a second portion 1162 arranged relative to each other along the first direction X. More specifically, the first portion 1161 may define a noise reduction air duct, and the second portion 1162 may be suitable for arranging the air supply assembly 230 and define a centrifugal air duct. Based on this, the first chamber 111 may be connected to one side of the first portion 1161 along the second direction Y, and the second chamber 112 may be connected to one side of the second portion 1162 along the second direction Y, and the air supply assembly 230 may be configured to guide the airflow from the second portion 1162 to the first portion 1161. The first direction X is perpendicular to the second direction Y. According to the above arrangement, after the airflow in the first chamber 111 or the second chamber 112 is guided to the third chamber 113 through the first opening 121 or the second opening 131, it can be guided from the second portion 1162 to the first portion 1161 through the air supply assembly 230. Thereafter, the airflow may be directed from the first portion 1161 of the third chamber 113 to the outside, or may be directed from the first portion 1161 to the first chamber 111 again and then directed to the outside.

[0078] In addition, in order to achieve more diverse wind guide requirements, based on the third shell portion 116 defined above, see Figure 4 , Figure 5 as well as Fig. 9In some embodiments, the first portion 1161 has a sixth opening 1163, the third opening 1141 is connected to the first area outside, and the sixth opening 1163 is connected to the second area outside. More specifically, the third opening 1141 can be connected to the outside, and the sixth opening 1163 can be connected to the indoor, so that the sixth opening 1163 can be used as a fresh air outlet for the air treatment module 200 to discharge air indoors. Based on this, the first partition 120 can be arranged between the first chamber 111 and the second portion 1162, and the third partition 140 can also be arranged between the first chamber 111 and the first portion 1161, and the third partition 140 has a seventh opening 141 connecting the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113. In order to control the communication state between the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113 in different modes of the air treatment module 200, the housing assembly 100 further includes a third valve 170, the third valve 170 has a fifth position and a sixth position, the third valve 170 is configured to open the seventh opening 141 and close the sixth opening 1163 when it is in the fifth position, and the third valve 170 is also configured to close the seventh opening 141 and open the sixth opening 1163 when it is in the sixth position. Therefore, the configuration of the third valve 170 can refer to the relevant description of the first valve 150, which will not be repeated here, and the configuration of the third valve 170 can be the same as the first valve 150 and the second valve 160, or different. It can be understood that since the third opening 1141 connects the first chamber 111 with the outdoors at the same time, and the sixth opening 1163 connects the third chamber 113 with the indoors at the same time, and the first chamber 111 and the third chamber 113 are separated by the third partition 140, the opening and closing state of the seventh opening 141 located on the third partition 140 can be changed by controlling the third valve 170, so that the airflow introduced into the third chamber by the first opening 121 or the second opening 131 can be discharged through the sixth opening 1163 (connected to the third chamber) or through the third opening 1141 / fifth opening 1142 (connected to the first chamber).

[0079] In addition, in order to quickly dry the humidification component 220, see Fig.14In some embodiments, the first valve 150 further has a third position between the first position and the second position. When the first valve 150 is configured to be located at the third position, part of the airflow in the third chamber 113 can be introduced into the second chamber 112 through the second opening 131. It can be understood that when the first valve 150 is located at the third position, the airflow can be introduced from the first chamber 111 to the third chamber 113 through the first opening 121. A part of the airflow introduced into the third chamber 113 can be directed to the outside under the action of the air supply component 230, while another part of the airflow is introduced into the second chamber 112 through the second opening 131 to play the role of the drying and humidifying component 220, and the third position can be adjusted according to needs to adjust the opening degree of the first opening 121 and the second opening 131 at this time.

[0080] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 , the embodiment of the second aspect of the utility model also provides an air treatment module 200, including the housing component 100 of any of the above embodiments, as well as a filter component 210, a humidification component 220, and an air supply component 230. Among them, the filter component 210 is located in the first chamber 111, the humidification component 220 is located in the second chamber 112, and the air supply component 230 is located in the third chamber 113, and the configuration of the above three components can refer to the relevant descriptions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here, and the first shell 114, the second shell 115 and the third shell 116 may include mounting structures corresponding to the components installed therein. In addition, not limited to the above-mentioned component configuration, in some embodiments, the air treatment module 200 also includes a functional component, which is located in the first chamber 111 and / or the second chamber 112. Specifically, the functional component can be configured to be able to remove formaldehyde, deodorize and heat the airflow. At least one of the functions. It is understandable that, based on the fact that the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are respectively provided with the filter assembly 210 and the humidification assembly 220, in order to achieve more diverse functions, components for removing formaldehyde, deodorizing, or heating can be further added according to needs, and their structural form and setting position can be determined according to needs. It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the air treatment module 200 can be used only to drive the airflow to form a ventilation effect or to process the airflow; in other embodiments, the air treatment module 200 can also be used for temperature adjustment, that is, the airflow can be cooled or heated.

[0081] Based on the above air treatment module 200, further, see Figure 4In some embodiments, the air supply assembly 230 has a rotating shaft 231, which can be a rotating shaft of a wind turbine. Thus, the air supply assembly 230 can be configured to drive the airflow in the third chamber 113 in a direction parallel to the rotating shaft 231, and the first baffle 120 and the second baffle 130 can be respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 231, and along the direction parallel to the rotating shaft 231, the first baffle 120 and the second baffle 130 are connected to the shell body 110 at one end and extend in a direction away from the rotating shaft 231 at the other end. It can be understood that based on the above-mentioned airflow driving direction, the arrangement of the first baffle 120 and the second baffle 130 being respectively located on both sides of the rotating shaft 231 can make the angle between the plane where the first opening 121 is located and the plane where the second opening 131 is located an acute angle, and can reduce the area of ​​the first valve 150 facing the air supply assembly 230 during the position switching process, that is, it can reduce the wind resistance of the first valve 150, so that the first valve 150 is less obstructed during the position switching process. Furthermore, the first partition plate 120 and the second partition plate 130 may be symmetrically arranged relative to the rotation axis 231 .

[0082] See also Figure 10-11 In some embodiments, the humidification component 220 includes a liquid storage part 221, a conveying part 222 and a humidification part 223. The liquid storage part 221 is suitable for storing liquid and is located at the lower side of the humidification part 223. The conveying part 222 is configured to be able to convey the liquid stored in the liquid storage part 221 to the upper side of the humidification part 223. For the specific water circulation function of the humidification component 220, the conveying part 222 may include a water pump, the liquid storage part 221 may include a water tank, and the humidification part 223 may include a wet film. Thus, the water pump can draw liquid (which may be water or any suitable liquid) from the water tank into the electrolytic water module and then flow upward to the top of the wet film. Then, part of the water can flow back to the water tank along the wet film to achieve a cycle, and the other part of the water is brought into the air with the airflow passing through the wet film, which has the effect of humidifying the air. That is to say, the humidification component 220 adopts a water curtain humidification mode, which is conducive to increasing the humidification amount. In addition, whether the conveying part 222 conveys liquid to the humidification part 223 or the flow rate of liquid delivery can be controlled according to demand.

[0083] More specifically, in some embodiments, the liquid storage portion 221 includes a liquid storage tank 2211, a support platform 2212, and a support protrusion 2213. The liquid storage tank 2211 encloses a liquid storage cavity suitable for storing liquid, and the support protrusion 2213 is connected to the upper side of the support platform 2212 and supports the humidifying portion 223. Thus, the support protrusion 2213 and the support platform 2212 can jointly define a groove body 224, so that the liquid passing through the humidifying portion 223 can flow into the groove body 224 and be introduced into the liquid storage cavity. It can be understood that the liquid storage tank 2211 can specifically be a water tank for storing liquid, and the support platform 2212 and the support protrusion 2213 can be used to install the humidification unit 223, wherein the support platform 2212 can be connected to the liquid storage tank 2211, and the support protrusion 2213 can be integrally extended from its upper surface (or the support protrusion 2213 can be installed on the upper surface of the support platform 2212), and the support protrusion 2213 can support the humidification unit 223 on the one hand, and on the other hand, the support protrusion 2213 uses its protrusion structure and the support platform 2212 to jointly define the groove body 224, so that the groove body 224 can be used as a water flow channel to facilitate the outflow of water, thereby avoiding water blockage and overflowing from the groove body 224 or overflowing back to the humidification unit 223.

[0084] Based on the above-defined humidification component 220, further, see Figure 10-11 In some embodiments, along the direction in which the support protrusion 2213 supports the humidifying unit 223, the dimension H1 of the support protrusion 2213 may satisfy: H1>1mm. By the above arrangement, by ensuring the thickness dimension of the support protrusion 2213 along the supporting direction, it is possible to ensure that the support protrusion 2213 has a good supporting effect. In addition, in order to facilitate the extraction of the humidifying unit 223, see Figure 10-11 In some embodiments, the liquid storage tank 2211 includes a bottom wall 22111 and a side wall 22112, and the support protrusion 2213 has a support surface 22131 suitable for supporting the humidifying part 223. In the direction perpendicular to the support surface 22131, the distance between the support surface 22131 and the bottom wall 22111 is H2, and the distance between the end of the side wall 22112 away from the bottom wall 22111 and the bottom wall 22111 is H3, and it can meet: H2≥H3. By the above arrangement, the humidifying part 223 can be easily drawn out by ensuring that the height of the support surface 22131 is high. In addition, in order to prevent the water from overflowing, in some embodiments, the distance between the liquid stored in the liquid storage tank 2211 and the bottom wall 22111 is H4, and it meets: H2>H4. By the above arrangement, it can be ensured that the humidifying part 223 is located above the water surface, so as to prevent the humidifying part 223 from being immersed in water for a long time, causing the humidifying part 223 to become moldy or fail.

[0085] The embodiment of the third aspect of the utility model further provides an air conditioner, comprising the air treatment module 200 of any one of the above embodiments.

[0086] Thanks to the improvements of the housing assembly 100 in the above embodiments, the air handling module 200 in the second embodiment of the utility model and the air conditioner in the third embodiment have the same technical effects as the housing assembly 100 in the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
