It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0039] As Figure 1 shown, the present utility model provides a split air conditioner. The split air conditioner includes: an indoor unit 1, an outdoor unit 2, a refrigerant pipeline 3, and a condensate pipeline (not shown). Among them, the indoor unit 1 is connected to the outdoor unit 2 through the refrigerant pipeline 3; the condensate pipeline is provided at the bottom of the indoor unit 1 and is connected to an external drainage trough.

[0040] The indoor unit 1 includes but is not limited to: an air outlet 16 and a control device 17.

[0041] And, as Figure 1 shown, the present utility model also provides an air conditioner humidifying device, which is provided inside the indoor unit 1 and is used to adjust the indoor humidity. The specific structure and implementation manner of the air conditioner humidifying device will be described below with specific embodiments.

[0042] As Figure 1As shown, the air conditioner humidifying device includes: a water storage device 11. The water storage device 11 is provided at the bottom of the indoor unit 1 near the air outlet 16. The water storage device 11 includes: a water level detection unit (not shown). The water level detection unit is used to monitor the water level of the water storage device 11 in real time for performing water addition or drainage operations on the water storage device 11 at an appropriate time. And the water level detection unit is electrically connected to the control device 17 of the indoor unit 1.

[0043] In a specific embodiment, the water storage device 11 is provided with a water inlet, and the water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe for adding water to the water storage device 11. Preferably, the water storage device 11 is connected to the condensate pipe. When the water level detection unit detects that the water level in the water storage device 11 is insufficient, a water addition operation is performed on the water storage device 11 to add the condensate water in the condensate pipe into the water storage device 11; and when the water level detection unit detects that the water level in the water storage device 11 is too high, a drainage operation is performed on the water storage device 11 to drain the excess water in the water storage device 11 to an external drainage trough through the condensate pipe.

[0044] The purpose of the present utility model is designed in this embodiment. By recycling the condensate water in the condensate pipe, the number of times of adding water to the water storage device 11 can be reduced, the labor cost can be reduced, and the condensate water resources can be fully utilized to improve the resource utilization rate.

[0045] As Figure 1 shown, the air conditioner humidifying device includes: an atomizing device 12. The atomizing device 12 is also provided at the bottom of the indoor unit 1 near the air outlet 16 as the water storage device 11. And, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, one end of the atomizing device 12 is connected to the water storage device 11 through the water outlet provided in the water storage device 11, and the other end is connected to the spraying device 13 for atomizing the water in the water storage device 11.

[0046] In an embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, the atomizing device 12 includes: an ultrasonic atomizer 121 and a communication unit (not shown); wherein, the communication unit is electrically connected to the ultrasonic atomizer 121 and is also electrically connected to the control device 17. The ultrasonic atomizer 121 is a device that uses ultrasonic technology to generate tiny droplets, and can convert the liquid water stored in the water storage device 11 into fine mist particles through high-frequency ultrasonic vibration. The mist particles generated by the ultrasonic atomizer 121 are small enough and of uniform size, which is beneficial to be quickly released into the external environment.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the air conditioner humidifying device further includes: a water pumping device 15; the water pumping device 15 is arranged on the pipeline where the water outlet of the atomizing device 12 communicates with the water storage device 11, and is used to transport the water in the water storage device 11 to the atomizing device 12. In this embodiment, the water outlet can be arranged near the bottom of the water storage device 11, so that the water in the water storage device can flow out smoothly, and the water can be quickly transported to the atomizing device 12 through the water pumping device 15, thereby improving the atomization efficiency of the water. In a specific embodiment, the water pumping device 15 is a water pump for pumping water.

[0048] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the air conditioner humidifying device includes: a spraying device 13. The spraying device 13 is arranged upstream of the air outlet 16 and includes a plurality of spraying ports 132; each spraying port 132 is arranged along the length direction of the air outlet 16 and is used to output the water mist formed by the atomizing device 12 while the indoor unit 1 blows air. In a specific embodiment, as Figure 2 shown in the figure, the spraying device 13 includes: a spraying pipeline 131; each spraying port 132 is evenly opened on the spraying pipeline 131, and the spraying pipeline 131 is arranged upstream of the air outlet 16.

[0049] The purpose of the present utility model designed in this embodiment is: by arranging the spraying pipeline 132 upstream of the air outlet 16, the water mist can be quickly released into the external environment while the indoor unit 1 blows air, which can significantly improve the spraying speed of the water mist, so that the humidity of the external environment can quickly reach the ideal value and the humidifying efficiency can be improved; at the same time, it can also alleviate the problem that the external environment is too dry in the cooling mode or heating mode of the split air conditioner, so that the overall external environment meets the comfort requirements of users.

[0050] As Figure 1 shown in the figure, the air conditioner humidifying device includes: a humidity sensor 14. The humidity sensor 14 is used to monitor the humidity of the external environment where the indoor unit 1 is located in real time. The humidity sensor 14 is electrically connected to the control device 17 arranged inside the indoor unit 1. In a specific embodiment, the humidity sensor 14, the water storage device 11 and the atomizing device 12 are respectively arranged on both sides of the air outlet 16 of the indoor unit 1, so that the internal space of the indoor unit 1 is utilized more reasonably and the internal space is saved.

[0051] It should be noted that the present utility model protects an air-conditioning humidifying device and the hardware structure of a split air conditioner. In this embodiment, the control device 17 can be used in combination with some existing software programs to achieve the intelligent control function of the air-conditioning humidifying device and the split air conditioner. For example, the control device 17 can be used in combination with some existing software programs. When the user selects the humidifying mode through the air-conditioning remote control or the mobile control terminal, the pumping device 15 and the atomizing device 12 are controlled to start, so that the liquid water stored in the water storage device 11 is conveyed to the atomizing device 12 through the pumping device 15 and atomized in the atomizing device 12, and the formed water mist is released to the external environment through the spray ports 132 in the spraying device 13 while the air is blown out, thereby adjusting the humidity of the external environment where the indoor unit 1 is located; at the same time, the control device 17 can also be used in combination with some other existing software programs to obtain in real time the humidity value of the external environment detected by the humidity sensor 14. When the humidity value reaches the preset humidity threshold, the pumping device 15 and the atomizing device 12 are controlled to close to stop the humidifying work of the air-conditioning humidifying device, so as to avoid over-humidification and ensure that the external environment is always within the humidity range comfortable for the human body; in addition, the control device 17 can also be used in combination with some other existing software programs to obtain in real time the water level data of the water storage device 11 detected by the water level detection unit, so that when the water level of the water storage device 11 is insufficient or not high, the water storage device 11 can be controlled to perform the water adding or draining operation. However, it is emphasized again that these software programs are not within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0052] In one embodiment, the indoor unit 1 further includes: a casing covering the internal components of the indoor unit 1. An opening corresponding to the position of the water storage device 11 in the air-conditioning humidifying device and a cover plate for covering the opening are provided on the casing, and the cover plate is rotatably connected to the casing; after the cover plate is opened, the water storage device 11 can be disassembled to add water to and clean the water storage device 11.

[0053] In summary, the air-conditioning humidifying device provided by the present utility model and disposed inside the indoor unit of a split air conditioner can, by arranging a water storage device and an atomizing device which are in communication with each other at a position close to the air outlet of the indoor unit and arranging a spraying device upstream of the air outlet, quickly release the water mist formed by atomization into the external environment while the indoor unit is discharging air, thereby improving the humidifying efficiency. Moreover, by arranging a humidity sensor, the humidity value of the external environment can be monitored in real time to avoid over-humidification. A split air conditioner provided by the present utility model makes use of the above air-conditioning humidifying device to enable the humidity of the external environment to quickly reach an ideal value and always be within the range comfortable for the human body. The air-conditioning humidifying device and the split air conditioner provided by the present utility model solve the problems that existing split air conditioners are not provided with humidifiers, external humidifiers occupy indoor space, do not support intelligent adjustment of indoor humidity, and have low working efficiency. Therefore, the present utility model effectively overcomes various drawbacks in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.

[0054] The above embodiments are only illustrative of the principles and effects of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person familiar with this technology can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model.
