Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a humidifying device and an air conditioner, which can realize that the humidifying device is installed on the outside of the air conditioner body, so that the structures of the humidifying device and the air conditioner body are not restricted; and by adopting an electrode humidification method, there is no intermediate energy loss of the heating medium, and the humidification efficiency is high.

[0029] The principles and features of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0030] The embodiment of the present application provides a humidifying device and an air conditioner (not shown in the figure). The air conditioner includes an air conditioner main body (not shown in the figure) and a humidifying device.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the humidifying device comprises a housing 1 and an electrode humidifier 2. The housing 1 is provided with a hanging structure 111, and the hanging structure 111 is configured to hang the humidifying device. The electrode humidifier 2 is arranged in the housing 1, and is configured to generate steam and output it.

[0032] The humidifying device is located outside the air conditioner body and connected to the air conditioner body, and is configured to deliver steam to the air conditioner body so that the air conditioner body can output humid air to achieve a humidifying function.

[0033] Among them, from the perspective of the installation method of the air conditioner, the air conditioner can be, but is not limited to, a ceiling-mounted air conditioner. The air conditioner body of the ceiling-mounted air conditioner can be suspended on the ceiling (or other installation carrier) and hidden in the ceiling. From the perspective of the overall structure of the air conditioner, the air conditioner can be a split air conditioner, and the indoor unit of the split air conditioner can be suspended on the ceiling. The air conditioner can also be an integrated air conditioner.

[0034] The humidifying device provided in the embodiment of the present application is provided with a hanging structure 111, which can be directly hung on the ceiling or other mounting carriers through the hanging structure 111 to realize the separate installation of the humidifying device. Therefore, the humidifying device can be located outside the air-conditioning body, which will not affect the structural layout of the air-conditioning body, and the structural layout of the air-conditioning body will not affect the structural layout of the humidifying device. It is only necessary to connect the steam outlet of the humidifying device with the air-conditioning body, which is conducive to optimizing the respective structures of the humidifying device and the air-conditioning body.

[0035] Moreover, compared with the conventional solution of using an electric heater to heat water to generate steam, the humidification device of this solution uses an electrode humidifier 2 to generate steam. Electric energy can directly act on water through electrodes to generate steam. There is no intermediate energy loss in the heating medium (i.e., the electric heater), so the humidification efficiency is higher.

[0036] In addition, the humidification device can be sold and purchased separately from the air conditioner body, which makes it convenient for users to selectively install it in rooms that need humidification. It is also convenient for users to install additional humidification devices when humidification needs arise at a later stage, which helps reduce user costs.

[0037] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the hanging structure 111 includes a plurality of hanging ears 1111, and the plurality of hanging ears 1111 are arranged along the circumference of the housing 1. The hanging ears 1111 can be hung on the ceiling or other installation carriers through structures such as hanging rods and fasteners, and the hanging rods can be fixedly connected to the ceiling or other installation carriers. Therefore, the installation method of the humidifier can be the same or substantially the same as that of a conventional hanging air conditioner.

[0038] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 includes a shell 11 and a bottom plate 12, and an opening 112 is provided at the bottom of the shell 11. The hanging structure 111 is provided on the shell 11. The bottom plate 12 is covered at the opening 112 and is detachably connected to the shell 11. The bottom opening 112 of the shell 11 can be completely open or partially open.

[0039] like Figure 6 As shown, the electrode humidifier 2 includes a water tank 21, an evaporation component and an electric control box 24 (such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown). The water tank 21 can be fixed in the housing 11, for example, directly or indirectly (for example, through a bracket or) fixed to the housing 11. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the evaporation assembly includes an evaporation tank 22 and an electrode assembly 23 inserted into the evaporation tank 22. Figure 6 As shown, the water tank 21 is communicated with the evaporation tank 22 and is configured to supply water to the evaporation tank 22. The electric control box 24 is electrically connected to the electrode assembly 23 and is configured to control the electrode assembly 23.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the evaporation tank 22 is detachably installed in the housing 11 and is detachably connected to the water tank 21. The electrode assembly 23 is detachably connected to the electric control box 24, and the evaporation assembly is configured to be able to enter and exit the housing 11 through the opening 112.

[0041] The water tank 21 can be directly connected to the municipal water pipeline, and the conductivity of tap water is between 125uS / cm (i.e., micro-Siemens / cm) and 1250uS / cm. When in use, the water tank 21 supplies water to the evaporation tank 22, and the positive and negative electrodes of the electrode assembly 23 are energized to heat the water in the evaporation tank 22 to generate steam. The steam can be transported to the air conditioner body (for example, to the return air outlet of the air conditioner body), and output from the air outlet of the air conditioner body to achieve the humidification function. The electronic control box 24 can control the energized components of the humidifying device, such as controlling the power on and off of the electrode assembly 23. The electronic control box 24 can also be electrically connected to the air conditioner body, such as being electrically connected to the humidity sensor of the air conditioner body, and controlling the start and stop of the humidifying device according to the indoor humidity detected by the humidity sensor.

[0042] The bottom plate 12 is equivalent to the inspection plate of the humidifying device. When the humidifying device needs to be inspected or parts (such as evaporation components) are replaced, the bottom plate 12 can be removed for inspection or replacement. The bottom plate 12 can be fixedly connected to the housing 11 by fasteners (such as screws).

[0043] For example, the evaporation component is a consumable part of the electrode humidifier 2 and needs to be replaced after a period of use. Therefore, when the evaporation component needs to be replaced, the bottom plate 12 can be disassembled (such as Figure 1 As shown), the connection between the evaporation tank 22 and the water tank 21 is released (as shown Figure 3 and release the connection between the electrode assembly 23 and the electric control box 24 (as shown in Figure 2 ), the evaporation assembly can be taken out downward from the opening 112 (as shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown in FIG. 1 , a new evaporation assembly is then loaded upwardly into the housing 11 from the opening 112, a new evaporation tank 22 is connected to the water tank 21, a new electrode assembly 23 is connected to the electric control box 24, and the bottom plate 12 is installed. In this way, the evaporation assembly can be replaced.

[0044] In some exemplary embodiments, the electrode assembly 23 is detachably connected to the electric control box 24 via a connecting wire, and the electric control box 24 is movably installed in the housing 11 and is configured to be able to enter and exit the housing 11 through the opening 112 (e.g. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown), the electric control box 24 can be assembled and disassembled from the connecting wires at the lower side of the housing 11.

[0045] This makes it easier to pull the electric control box 24 downward. Figure 2 As shown, the connecting wires of the electrode assembly 23 are removed again, and the connecting wires of new electrode assemblies 23 can also be connected at the lower side of the housing 1, so that the disconnection and connection operations of the electrode assembly 23 are more convenient.

[0046] In some exemplary embodiments, a guide rail 113 (such as Figure 2As shown), the electric control box 24 is slidably connected to the guide rail 113 and is configured to enter and exit the housing 11 through the opening 112 along the guide rail 113.

[0047] This helps to reduce the difficulty of entering and exiting the electric control box 24, making the entry and exit operations of the electric control box 24 simpler, faster and smoother.

[0048] The electric control box 24 and the guide rail 113 may be provided with a matching structure similar to a drawer, so that the guiding effect of the guide rail 113 is better; or a buckle or other structure may be used to clamp the electric control box 24 on the guide rail 113, so that it is not easy to fall off.

[0049] In some exemplary embodiments, a bracket 114 (such as Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , the evaporation tank 22 is detachably fixed to the bracket 114 .

[0050] The bracket 114 may be provided with an installation space adapted to the evaporation tank 22. A lug 223 (such as Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1 , the lug 223 can be detachably fixed to the bracket 114. The bracket 114 and the housing 11 can be a split structure and assembled together, or can be an integrated structure.

[0051] In one embodiment, the evaporation tank 22 is detachably fixed to the bracket 114 by a fastener, and the fastener is arranged to penetrate the evaporation tank 22 and the bracket 114 from bottom to top. For example, an evaporation tank 22 can be fixed to the bracket 114 by two screws, and the two screws can be arranged diagonally, such as Figure 4 shown.

[0052] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the water tank 21 is provided with a first water outlet 211, and the evaporation tank 22 is provided with a first water inlet 221. The first water outlet 211 and the first water inlet 221 are connected by a first quick-release structure 25 (such as Figure 3 The structures circled by small and medium circles) are connected.

[0053] The humidifying device further includes a steam pipeline 28 fixed in the housing 11. The evaporation tank 22 is provided with a first steam outlet 222. The first steam outlet 222 and the steam pipeline 28 are connected via a second quick-release structure 26 (such as Figure 3 The structure circled in the middle and large circles) are connected.

[0054] The first quick-release structure 25 can realize the quick disassembly and assembly of the evaporator 22 and the water tank 21. The first quick-release structure 25 may include a quick-release male connector and a quick-release female connector. One of the quick-release male connector and the quick-release female connector is connected to the first water outlet 211 of the water tank 21, and the other is connected to the first water inlet 221 of the evaporator 22. The quick-release male connector and the quick-release female connector can realize quick-release matching by plugging and unplugging. By inserting the quick-release male connector into the quick-release female connector, docking connection and sealing matching are realized; by pulling out the quick-release male connector, disassembly is realized. The first quick-release structure 25 may also include an elastic locking structure (such as an elastic latch, etc.), and the elastic locking structure may include a locking part (such as a buckle, a protrusion, a retaining rib, etc.) and an operating part (such as a clip, a button, a knob, etc.) that cooperates with the locking part. The locking part is located inside the quick-release female connector, and the operating part is located outside the quick-release female connector. When the quick-release male connector is inserted into the quick-release female connector, the locking part can be elastically deformed; when the quick-release male connector is inserted into place, the locking part can restore the deformation and lock the quick-release male connector to prevent it from coming out. When it is necessary to disassemble, the locking part can be released by triggering the operating part to elastically deform the locking part, so that the quick-release male connector can be pulled out.

[0055] The structure and working principle of the second quick-release structure 26 may be the same as or similar to those of the first quick-release structure 25 , and will not be described in detail herein.

[0056] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the housing 1 is provided with a second water inlet 115, a drain outlet 116 and a second steam outlet 117. The evaporation tank 22 is connected to the steam pipe 28 (such as Figure 3 The second steam outlet 117 is connected to the second steam outlet 117. The second steam outlet 117 can be connected to the return air outlet of the air conditioner body through a pipeline. Alternatively, the steam pipeline 28 is arranged in the second steam outlet 117 and can be further connected to the return air outlet of the air conditioner body.

[0057] The water tank 21 is connected to the second water inlet 115 through the water inlet pipe 27, and the second water inlet 115 is connected to the municipal tap water through the pipe. Alternatively, the water inlet pipe 27 is arranged through the second water inlet 115, and the water inlet pipe 27 is further connected to the municipal tap water. The humidifying device also includes a water inlet valve 271 and a pressure reducing valve 272 arranged on the water inlet pipe 27. Figure 6 The water inlet valve 271 and the pressure reducing valve 272 are arranged to be electrically connected to the electric control box 24. The water inlet valve 271 can control the on-off of the water inlet pipeline 27, thereby controlling the liquid level in the water tank 21. The pressure reducing valve 272 can reduce the water pressure of the water inlet pipeline 27.

[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 6As shown, the humidifying device further includes a water receiving tray 3 disposed in the housing 1, and the water receiving tray 3 is located at the lower side of the water tank 21. The water tank 21 is provided with a second water outlet 214 (such as Figure 6 As shown in FIG. 1 , the second water outlet 214 is connected to the water receiving pan 3 through a drainage pipe 32. The outlet of the water receiving pan 3 is connected to the drain port 116, and the drain port 116 can be connected to the drainage area through a pipe. The water receiving pan 3 can be fixed in the housing 11, such as directly or indirectly (such as through a bracket or) fixed to the housing 11.

[0059] like Figure 6 As shown, the humidifying device further includes a filter 322 and a drain valve 321 disposed in the drain pipe 32, and the drain valve 321 is electrically connected to the electric control box 24. The filter 322 may be, but is not limited to, a Y-type filter. When the humidifying function is completed, by opening the drain valve 321, the water in the water tank 21 and the evaporation tank 22 can be drained into the water receiving tray 3, and then drained through the drain port 116, so as to prevent the water from being unused for a long time and accumulating in the water tank 21 and the evaporation tank 22 to breed bacteria.

[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, the water tank 21 and the evaporation tank 22 can be set to a communicating vessel structure so that the liquid level in the water tank 21 is the same as the liquid level in the evaporation tank 22. In this way, the liquid level in the evaporation tank 22 can be controlled by controlling the liquid level in the water tank 21, and then the humidification amount of the evaporation tank 22 can be adjusted. Since the liquid level in the water tank 21 can be adjusted continuously (i.e., stepless adjustment is achieved), there is no gear requirement, so that the liquid level in the evaporation tank 22 can also be adjusted steplessly. The liquid level in the evaporation tank 22 is directly related to the humidification amount of the evaporation tank 22, so the stepless adjustment of the humidification amount can also be achieved, which is convenient for cooperating with the humidity sensor to effectively control the indoor humidity.

[0061] The height of the bottom of the evaporation tank 22 may be higher than the height of the bottom of the water tank 21 , so that the water in the evaporation tank 22 can automatically flow to the water tank 21 for discharge during the drainage process.

[0062] In some exemplary embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the number of evaporation tanks 22 is multiple (such as two, three or more). Multiple evaporation tanks 22 are conducive to improving the humidification capacity of the humidification device. Multiple evaporation tanks 22 are arranged in parallel. Multiple evaporation tanks 22 can be arranged side by side along the length direction of the water tank 21. Accordingly, the water tank 21 is provided with multiple first water outlets 211, and the multiple first water outlets 211 are respectively connected to the first water inlets 221 of the multiple evaporation tanks 22 through the first quick-release structure 25. The first steam outlets 222 of the multiple evaporation tanks 22 are respectively connected to the steam pipeline 28 through the second quick-release structure 26.

[0063] In some exemplary embodiments, in the width direction of the water tank 21 , the electric control box 24 , the steam pipeline 28 , the water inlet pipeline 27 , and the drain pipeline 32 are located between the water tank 21 and the evaporation assembly.

[0064] The water receiving tray 3 is provided with a clearance gap 31 for avoiding the electric control box 24. Figure 2 The steam pipeline 28 , the water inlet pipeline 27 and the drain pipeline 32 are located on the upper side of the water receiving tray 3 .

[0065] In this way, the layout of the entire humidifying device is more reasonable, and the steam pipeline 28, the water inlet pipeline 27, and the drainage pipeline 32 can be located on the upper side of the water receiving pan 3, so that the condensed water or leaked water on these pipelines can flow into the water receiving pan 3 to prevent the occurrence of bubbling.

[0066] In some exemplary embodiments, the water tank 21 is provided with an overflow port 212, such as Figure 6 As shown. The overflowing water can fall into the water receiving tray 3 through the overflow port 212. This helps to avoid the water tank 21 from overflowing and causing the top of the water tank to bubble.

[0067] In some exemplary embodiments, the humidification device further includes a water level detection element 213, such as Figure 6 The water level detection element 213 is electrically connected to the electric control box 24. The water level detection element 213 can be, but is not limited to, a differential pressure level gauge.

[0068] During use, the electronic control box 24 can reasonably control the water inlet valve 271 and the drain valve 321 according to the detection results of the humidity sensor and the water level detection element 213, so as to reasonably adjust the liquid level height in the water tank 21 and the evaporation tank 22, so that the humidification amount of the humidification device matches the current humidity, so that the indoor humidity can be adjusted to the target humidity as soon as possible.

[0069] The workflow and working principle of the humidification function of the air conditioner can be roughly as follows: power-on self-test; the water inlet valve 271 is opened to fill water into the water tank 21; the positive and negative poles of the electrode assembly 23 of the evaporation assembly are energized to heat the water to generate steam; according to the detection result of the humidity sensor, the liquid level in the water tank 21 is adjusted by controlling the water inlet valve 271 and the drain valve 321 to humidify the room; after humidification is completed, the drain valve 321 is opened to drain the water in the water tank 21, and then the machine is shut down.

[0070] Among them, the humidification demand can be determined according to the detection result of the humidity sensor, and then the required liquid level height can be calculated in proportion to the ratio of the humidification demand and the maximum humidification amount. The calculated liquid level height can be the liquid level height of the water tank 21, or the liquid level height of the evaporation tank 22 (since there is a corresponding relationship between the liquid level heights of the two, the required liquid level height of the water tank 21 can be converted).
