Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly relates to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in the related art, a water ion generating device is used to clean the interior of the air conditioner and the indoor environment. The ion emitting head of the water ion generating device can be set as a needle tip type, a carbon brush type or a carbon rod type. When the ion emitting head is working, it will generate positive ions or negative ions with a purification effect. The generated ions diffuse into the air, can adsorb substances such as dust in the air, make them aggregate and settle, so as to achieve the purpose of dust removal.

[0003] However, due to the limitations of the structure and material of the electrode component itself, the electrode component cannot effectively adsorb the surrounding water molecules. Since the water vapor free in the air belongs to large molecular water clusters, the water molecules cannot effectively diffuse into the carbon rod. Only some carbon filaments on the surface adsorb water molecules, resulting in insufficient amount of water ions generated on the surface of the electrode component and unsatisfactory purification effect.

[0004] In view of this, the present application is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The air conditioner in the present application relates to a water ion generating device. A refrigeration module and a first electrode are arranged outside the ion housing of the electrode component to reduce the air temperature near the emission end of the electrode component, thereby increasing the air humidity in this area, increasing the amount of water ions generated by the electrode component, and thus improving the sterilization and purification ability of the water ion generating device.

[0006] An embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, which includes:

[0007] An indoor housing, on which an air inlet and an air outlet are provided;

[0008] An indoor fan, which is arranged in the indoor housing to at least accelerate the air flow;

[0009] A water ion generating device, which is arranged at the air outlet to transport the generated ions into the room. The water ion generating device further includes:

[0010] An ion housing, which forms the outer contour of the water ion generating device. The ion housing includes a first side surface and a second side surface along its length direction, and a third side surface and a fourth side surface arranged along its width direction. The air flow can enter the ion housing from the third side surface and flow out from the fourth side surface;

[0011] A voltage output component, which is used to output a first voltage;

[0012] An electrode component, which is disposed inside the ion housing and is used to receive a first voltage from the voltage output component and ionize the moisture in the absorbed air;

[0013] A refrigeration module, which is used to output cooling capacity;

[0014] A first electrode, which is disposed inside the ion housing and on the air flow output side of the electrode component, and the first electrode is connected to the refrigeration module to lower the temperature of the surrounding air by reducing its own temperature;

[0015] In the above embodiment, by arranging a first electrode around the electrode component, the temperature around the electrode component is reduced to compensate for the humidity in the surrounding air, and the water ion generation amount of the water ion generating device is increased.

[0016] In some embodiments, the water ion generating device further includes:

[0018] Diffusion through holes, which are arranged corresponding to the emitting end of the electrode component;

[0019] When the electrode component is powered on, an electric field is formed between the electrode component and the second electrode, so that the water ions generated by the electrode component diffuse outward through the diffusion through holes under the action of the electric field force.

[0020] In some embodiments, the water ion generating device further includes:

[0023] In the water ion generating device, magnetic fields are applied on both sides of the electrode component, so that large-sized water molecule clusters near the electrode component have the hydrogen bonds between water molecules broken under the action of the magnetic field to generate more small clusters or single water molecules, and can be more easily adsorbed by the water-absorbing material of the electrode component to generate more oxidation active substances, thereby improving the sterilization and purification ability of this module.

[0024] In some embodiments, the first magnetic member includes a plurality of first through holes, and the second magnetic member includes a plurality of second through holes.

[0031] In some embodiments, the cross-section of the first electrode is provided with a flow guiding portion protruding towards the electrode component. When the air flow of the air conditioner passes through the flow guiding portion, it is split and then flows into the room.

[0033] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes:

[0034] An air quality detection device disposed at the air inlet for detecting the concentration of indoor particulate matter;

[0035] When the concentration of indoor particulate matter exceeds the first set threshold, if the air conditioner is in the first mode at this time, the refrigeration module is controlled to operate at the first power to lower the air temperature near the electrode component, and the voltage output component is controlled to output a first voltage to the electrode component so that the electrode component absorbs moisture to generate water ions.

[0036] By providing the air quality detection device, the air quality condition of the room can be detected in real time, and the indoor air can be purified automatically.

[0037] In some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes:

[0038] A humidity detection device is provided at the air inlet for detecting the indoor humidity;

[0040] If the indoor humidity does not exceed the first preset humidity, control the refrigeration module to operate at the first power to more quickly reduce the air temperature around the electrode component;

[0041] Wherein, the first power is greater than the second power.

By being arranged as a frame structure, the diffusion range of the airflow can be expanded. And there is no need to additionally provide an opening for the airflow to pass through.

[0152] Referring to Figure 2 、 7 , the water ion generating device 3 includes an electrode component 31. The electrode component 31 is used to absorb moisture in the air and release water ions by using the received first voltage.

The first electrode 34 is located on the airflow output side of the electrode component 31. The first electrode 34 is connected to the refrigeration module 33 to reduce the air temperature around the electrode component 31 by lowering its own temperature.

[0155] In the above embodiments, referring to Figure 5-6 , the first electrode 34 is arranged on the airflow output side, which can split the airflow passing through, expand the airflow coverage angle flowing through the water ion generating device 3 and also increase the airflow velocity, so that the ions can spread farther, cover a wider range, and have a better purification effect on the indoor air.

[0156] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 2-3 and 9, the water ion generating device 3 includes a second electrode 35. The second electrode 35 is disposed on the top of the emitting end of the electrode member 31. The second electrode 35 and the emitting end of the electrode member 31 are disposed opposite to each other.

[0157] In some embodiments, the second electrode 35 is made of a conductive material. The second electrode 35 is grounded. When the electrode member 31 is powered on, an electric field is formed between the second electrode 35 and the electrode member 31.

[0158] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , the second electrode 35 includes diffusion through holes 351. The diffusion through holes 351 are disposed corresponding to the emitting end of the electrode member 31.

[0159] When the electrode member 31 is powered on, an electric field is formed between the electrode member 31 and the second electrode 35, so that the water ions generated by the electrode member 31 diffuse outward through the diffusion through holes 351 under the action of the electric field force.

[0160] By providing the diffusion through holes 351, it effectively avoids the problem that the particles in the air are charged and adsorbed on the second electrode 35, and the ions are adsorbed on the second electrode 35, resulting in a reduction in the amount of ions. At the same time, it can also make the ions diffuse out of the ion housing 32 through the diffusion through holes 351, improving the ion diffusion range.

[0161] In some embodiments, when the electrode member 31 generates ions by being powered on, a large amount of negative charges accumulate on the tip surface of the electrode member 31, and a strong electric field is formed between the electrode member 31 and the second electrode 35. The generated negative ions are accelerated to diffuse outward from the diffusion through holes 351 under the action of the electric field force, avoiding the problem that the ions diffuse outward disorderly and are partially consumed, resulting in a small amount of ion generation.

[0162] In some embodiments, the diameter of the diffusion through holes 351 is larger than the diameter of the electrode member 31, so as to facilitate the diffusion of ions.

[0163] In some embodiments, two electrode members 31 are provided. The second electrode 35 is provided with two diffusion through holes 351 corresponding to the emitting ends of the electrode members 31.

[0164] In some embodiments, a plurality of electrode members 31 are provided. The second electrode 35 is provided with a plurality of diffusion through holes 351 corresponding to the emitting ends of the electrode members 31.

[0165] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 9 , the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 are integrally formed. There is a certain included angle between the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35. In some embodiments, the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 are perpendicular to each other.

[0166] In some embodiments, when the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 are connected, the second electrode 35 is also affected by the cold generated by the refrigeration module 33. The first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 form a space with a temperature lower than that outside the relative ion housing 32 around the emission end of the electrode component 31, so as to increase the humidity around the emission end.

[0193] In some embodiments, the ion housing 32 includes a fourth flow guiding member 324. The fourth flow guiding member 324 is between the third side surface 327 and the fourth side surface 328. The fourth flow guiding member 324 includes a fourth inclined surface arranged along the air flow direction.

[0196] Referring to Figure 6When the air flow passes through the water ion generating device 3, the air flow flows into the ion housing 32 along the first flow guiding member 321 and the third flow guiding member 323. When the air flow passes through the electrode component 31, the air flow is accelerated for the first time, and then the ions generated by the air are quickly separated from the high-concentration area. After the air flow passes through the electrode component 31, it is then shunted by the first electrode 34 to diffuse in different directions. When the air carrying high-concentration ions passes through the shunt channel formed between the first electrode 34, the second flow guiding member 322, and the fourth flow guiding member 324, the air flow is accelerated again. After the air is accelerated twice, the ions carried by it can be diffused to a farther indoor space, covering a wider range of the indoor space for sterilization.

[0197] In some embodiments, the first electrode 34 is provided in a plurality of numbers.

[0198] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 10-12 , the first electrode 34 protrudes towards the electrode component 31 to form a flow guiding portion 341. When the air flow of the air conditioner passes through the flow guiding portion 341, it is shunted and then flows into the room.

Among them, the narrow part faces the electrode component 31, and the wide part faces the outside of the ion housing 32. The bottom of the first electrode 34 is in contact with the fixed magnet 337 of the refrigeration module 33 to achieve cold transfer.

[0201] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 13-14 , the water ion generating device 3 further includes a base. One end of the electrode component 31 away from the emission tip is installed on the base 53. The base 53 has a through hole 531 for the high-voltage wire 60 to pass through. The voltage output component 51 is connected to the electrode component 31 through the high-voltage wire 60 passing through the through hole 531. The base 53 plays a role in installing and supporting the electrode component 31, and the base 53 is made of an insulating material.

[0202] In some embodiments, the base 53 is installed at the air outlet 3 of the indoor unit.

[0203] In this embodiment, the electrode component 31 and the voltage output component 51 are of a split structure, and the two are connected by a high-voltage wire 60. Of course, in some other embodiments, the base 53 can be integrally connected to the voltage output component 51. This setting shortens the distance of the high-voltage wire 60 between the electrode component 31 and the voltage output component 51, and reduces the volume of the water ion generating device 3, facilitating installation.

[0204] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 53 is hollow inside and has an open bottom end, and a through hole 531 is provided at the top end of the base 53. The through hole 531 protrudes from the top end of the base 53, facilitating connection with the electrode component 31.

[0205] Furthermore, referring to Figure 16 , the water ion generating device 3 further includes a connecting cover 54, and the connecting cover 54 covers the base 53. On the side of the connecting cover 54 facing away from the base 53, an installation position 541 for installing and fixing the electrode component 31 is formed. The installation position 541 is opposite to and communicated with the through hole 531.

[0206] Specifically, in this embodiment, the inside of the connecting cover 54 is hollow and has an open end. The installation position 541 protrudes from the connecting cover 54 and is disposed opposite to the through hole 531, and the through hole 531 extends into the installation position 541.

[0207] To achieve the detachable connection between the connecting cover 54 and the base 53, a connecting groove 56 is further formed on the inner side wall of the connecting cover 54, and a buckle 55 is provided on the outer wall of the base 53. The buckle 55 is adaptively connected with the connecting groove 56 to connect and fix the connecting cover 54 and the base 53, which is simple and convenient.

[0208] Furthermore, referring to Figure 15 , to achieve the installation of the water ion generating device 3, the water ion generating device 3 further includes a mounting plate 57. The mounting plate 57 is connected to the connecting cover 54 and is adapted to be installed and connected to the indoor housing 1 at the air outlet 3.

[0209] To improve the release ability of the water ion generating device 3, the electrode component 31 can be configured with two or more to improve the release ability of negative ions. A plurality of electrode components 31 are connected in parallel. As Figure 13 shown, the electrode component 31 is configured with two. Correspondingly, the number of the through holes 531 of the base 53 and the number of the installation positions 541 on the connecting cover 54 are configured to be the same as the number of the electrode components 31.

[0210] In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 33 is set as a thermoelectric refrigeration module 33.

[0211] In some embodiments, the refrigeration module 33 is set as a magnetic refrigeration module 33.

[0212] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 17-22 , the magnetic refrigeration module 33 includes a magnetic working fluid bed 331. The magnetic working fluid bed 331 is set as an annular channel

[0213] In some embodiments, the magnetic refrigeration module 33 includes a magnetic structure 333. The magnetic structure 333 is disposed on one side of the magnetic working fluid bed 331. The magnetic structure 333 is used to generate a magnetic field.

[0214] In some embodiments, the magnetic refrigeration module 33 includes a magnetic working fluid 332. The magnetic working fluid 332 is installed on the magnetic working fluid bed 331. The magnetic working fluid 332 occupies a partial area of the magnetic working fluid bed 331.

[0215] In some embodiments, the magnetic refrigeration module 33 includes a driving component. The driving component is electrically connected to the controller. By controlling the driving component through the controller, the amount of generated cooling capacity is adjusted to achieve a continuous and efficient refrigeration effect.

[0216] In some embodiments, the magnetic working fluid bed 331 is installed on a fixed turntable 338, and the fixed turntable 338 is driven by the driving component. When the magnetic working fluid bed 331 is driven to rotate, the magnetic working fluid 332 is continuously magnetized and demagnetized, thereby continuously generating cooling capacity and transmitting it to the first electrode 34.

[0217] In some embodiments, the magnetic refrigeration module 33 includes a heat exchange component. The heat exchange component is used to transfer the cooling capacity generated by the magnetic working fluid bed 331 to the first electrode 34.

[0218] In some embodiments, the heat exchange component includes a heat exchange chamber 334. The heat exchange chamber 334 is arranged between the magnetic structure 333 and the magnetic working fluid 332. The heat exchange chamber 334 is close to the magnetic working fluid bed 331, and the chamber wall of the heat exchange chamber 334 does not contact the magnetic working fluid bed 331.

[0219] In some embodiments, the heat exchange component includes a cold storage chamber 335. The cold storage chamber 335 is connected to the heat exchange chamber 334.

[0220] In some embodiments, the heat exchange component includes a refrigerant circulation pipe 336. Refrigerant flows inside it, and the refrigerant circulation pipe 336 sequentially passes through the heat exchange chamber 334 and the cold storage chamber 335.

[0221] In some embodiments, the heat exchange component includes a fixed magnet 337, and the bottom surface of the fixed magnet 337 closely adheres to the surface of the cold storage chamber 335. The upper surface of the fixed magnet 337 contacts the bottom of the first electrode 34.

[0222] The refrigerant pipe forms its own loop, and refrigerant flows in the refrigerant pipe. When the refrigerant flows through the heat exchange chamber 334, the refrigerant releases heat in the heat exchange chamber 334, and the refrigerant absorbs heat in the cold storage chamber 335 to reduce the air in the cold storage chamber 335. To reduce the temperature of the fixed magnet 337 inside the cold storage chamber 335, and further reduce the temperature of the first electrode 34.

[0223] In some embodiments, the refrigerant pipe is connected to a power pump. For providing the power for the refrigerant to flow. In some embodiments, the power pump is set as a centrifugal pump, an axial flow pump, a mixed flow pump, and a vortex pump.

[0224] In some embodiments, refer toFigure 18 The refrigerant flow pipe 336 coils around in the cold storage cavity 335 to extend the residence time of the refrigerant at the fixed magnet 337, so as to transfer more cooling capacity to the first electrode 34 and improve the cooling capacity of the space near the electrode component 31.

[0225] In some embodiments, the volume of the cold storage cavity 335 is larger than that of the heat exchange cavity 334. The purpose of this setting is to extend the residence time of the refrigerant at the fixed magnet 337, so as to transfer more cooling capacity to the first electrode 34 and improve its cooling capacity for the space around the electrode component 31.

[0226] The driving component drives the magneto - working fluid bed 331 to rotate, thereby driving the magneto - working fluid 332 to move away from or close to the magnetic structure 333. The cooling capacity generated by the magneto - working fluid 332 is transferred to the first electrode 34 through the heat exchange component.

[0227] The refrigeration principle of the above - mentioned magnetic refrigeration module 33 is as follows: when the magneto - working fluid 332 of the magneto - working fluid bed 331 approaches the magnetic structure 333, the magneto - working fluid 332 is magnetized, the magnetic moment order increases, the magnetic entropy decreases, the temperature rises, and heat is released to the outside. When the magneto - working fluid 332 of the magneto - working fluid bed 331 moves away from the magnetic structure 333, the magneto - working fluid 332 demagnetizes, the magnetic moment order decreases, the magnetic entropy increases, the temperature drops, and heat is absorbed from the outside.

[0228] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 23 , the electrode component 31 includes a cured matrix 521.

[0229] In some embodiments, the cured matrix 521 can be composed of a cross - linker and an initiator in a certain proportion.

[0230] As mentioned above, a cross - linker is a substance that can play a bridging role during the polycondensation of linear - structured molecules, enabling the groups in its molecules to bond with each other and form an insoluble and infusible network.

[0231] An initiator is a substance that can initiate the polymerization reaction of monomers. The polymerization active centers of unsaturated monomers include free - radical type, anion type, cation type, and coordination compounds, etc. The most commonly used in the adhesive industry is the free - radical type, which exhibits unique chemical activity. Under the action of heat or light, it undergoes homolytic cleavage of covalent bonds to generate two free radicals, which can initiate the polymerization reaction.

[0232] In some embodiments, first add the cross - linker into the mold to allow it to undergo a cross - linking reaction to form a cross - linked structure; then add the initiator, and through the initiator, initiate the polymerization reaction of the monomers, so that the monomers in the cross - linked structure polymerize, and finally obtain a high - molecular material with a cross - linked structure.

[0233] The electrode component 31 includes conductive fibers 522. The conductive fibers 522 can conduct electricity and form a local electric field at the ends of the conductive fibers 522.

[0234] A plurality of conductive fibers 522 are provided, and the plurality of conductive fibers 522 are dispersedly arranged in the cured matrix 521. The cured matrix 521 and the conductive fibers 522 constitute the main structure of the electrode component 31.

[0235] In some embodiments, the emission tips of the conductive fibers 522 extend to the outside of the cured matrix 521, so that one end of the electrode component 31 forms an emission end with an exposed multi-fiber structure.

[0236] In this embodiment, the conductive fibers 522 are formed into a rod-like structure by using the cured matrix 521. In some embodiments, the main structure formed by the conductive fibers 522 and the cured matrix 521 can also be set as a cylindrical structure, a cubic column structure, and a flat sheet structure. It should be noted that as long as the structure of the main structure satisfies connecting the first voltage and the emission end to generate an electric field.

[0237] In some embodiments, the electrode component 31 as a whole can be set as a solid structure. In some embodiments, the electrode component 31 as a whole can also be set as a cylindrical structure, a hollow structure, a mesh structure, etc.

[0238] In some embodiments, the conductive fibers 522 are installed in the cured matrix 521 in a certain rule and form the main structure of the electrode component 31 with the cured matrix 521.

[0239] In some embodiments, the conductive fibers 522 are distributed inside and on the outer surface of the cured matrix 521.

[0240] In some embodiments, the conductive fibers 522 are set as carbon fibers.

[0241] Carbon fiber is a fiber composed of carbon atoms and has good electrical conductivity like metal. It can transfer electrons rapidly at low voltage. Moreover, carbon fiber has high strength and stiffness per unit mass or unit volume. The diameter of the carbon fiber bundle can range from a few micrometers to dozens of micrometers, and can reach one-tenth or even one-hundredth of the curvature radius of the pointed structure.

[0242] Compared with the pointed structure electrode, carbon fiber can generate a local electric field with higher strength under the same supply voltage, frequency and other conditions, and ionize to generate a higher concentration of air negative ions or water ions.

[0243] In this embodiment, unidirectional carbon fiber is used as the conductive fiber 522. Selecting this carbon structure as the conductive skeleton can induce an increase in the activity of unidirectional electron migration of the electrode, and further promote an increase in the unidirectional negative ion yield.

[0244] During the production process, carbon fibers are subjected to tensile forces, causing their structures to become oriented. As a result, they exhibit anisotropy in both mechanical and electrical properties.

[0245] In some embodiments, the electrode component 31 further includes a water-absorbing material. The water-absorbing material is at least disposed on the surface of the electrode component 31 to capture moisture in the air and be used for electrode ionization.

[0246] In some embodiments, the water-absorbing material is dispersed within the cured matrix 521. The moisture-absorbing material on the outer surface of the electrode component 31 comes into contact with the air. Taking advantage of its high active sites, it can efficiently capture water molecules in the air, achieving an efficient moisture absorption effect. The moisture-absorbing material located inside the electrode component 31 has the function of retaining moisture.

[0247] The water-absorbing material is incorporated into the cured matrix 521. Due to the introduction of the water-absorbing material, it can absorb moisture in the air in a low-humidity scenario, providing a moisture source for the ionization of the conductive fiber 522.

[0248] In some embodiments, the electrode component 31 includes a water-absorbing material. The water-absorbing material is combined with the conductive fiber 522. The water-absorbing material adheres to the conductive fiber 522. The water-absorbing material on the conductive fiber 522 located on the outer surface of the cured matrix 521 comes into contact with the air. Taking advantage of its high active sites, it will capture water molecules in the air, achieving an efficient moisture absorption effect.

[0249] In some embodiments, the water-absorbing material forms a hydrophilic layer 524 on the outer surface of the electrode component 31. The hydrophilic layer 524 is used to adsorb water molecules in the air onto the surface of the electrode component 31.

[0250] The electrode component 31 includes porous fibers (not shown in the figure). The porous fibers are located on the surface and inside of the electrode component 31. The porous fibers have a pore structure. The pore structure gives the porous fibers a high specific surface area. The capillary principle can be used to store water molecules on the surface inside the electrode component 31.

[0251] The voltage output component supplies power to the electrode component 31, generating a negative high-voltage electric field at the ends of the conductive fibers. The moisture inside the electrode component 31 is atomized by the high voltage and released through the pore structure of the porous fibers and ionized into hydroxyl radicals. At the same time, the electrons released by the electrode component 31 form negative ions with the air around the electric field.

[0252] When the voltage output component supplies power to the electrode component 31, the water ion generating device 3 releases ions. Specifically, a negative high-voltage electric field is generated at the emission tip of the conductive fiber 522, and the moisture inside the electrode component 31 is atomized by the high voltage and released through the lateral pores and longitudinal pores, and is ionized into hydroxyl radicals. At the same time, the electrodes released by the electrode component 31 form negative ions with the air around the negative high-voltage electric field. The hydroxyl radicals and negative ions are wrapped by the high-voltage atomized nano water ions and diffuse into the air.

[0253] That is to say, part of the water inside the electrode component 31 becomes hydroxyl radicals under the excitation of the negative high-voltage electric field, and it is wrapped by water particles to form hydroxyl charged microparticle water. The electrons released by the electrode component 31 react with oxygen O2 in the air to generate negative ions O2-, which are wrapped by water particles to form negative ion O2- charged microparticle water. The charged microparticle water of hydroxyl radicals and negative ions O2- both have the air purification effects of sterilization and odor removal, and due to being wrapped by nano water particles on the outer layer, they have a longer action distance and better action effect.

[0254] Among them, when the voltage output component supplies power to the electrode component 31, the water absorption material can also adsorb the moisture in the air and can generate charged microparticle water through the same above-mentioned path.

[0255] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes a controller. The controller is used to send instructions to the air conditioner 100 to control the working process of the air conditioner 100.

[0256] The controller is used to coordinate the operation of the entire air conditioner 100.

[0259] Refer to Figure 24 , the indoor controller includes a communication interface 214. The communication interface 214 is used to realize communication with related components.

[0260] The communication interface of the controller is used to communicate with the voltage output component and the refrigeration module 33, so that after receiving the corresponding electric control signal, different components can be controlled to perform corresponding actions. For example, when the cleaning mode is executed, the voltage output component is controlled to act.

[0261] The controller includes a processor 213. The processor 213 is used to execute the executable module stored in the memory 212, such as a computer program, and the code of the computer program can be in the form of source code, object code, executable file or some other forms.

[0262] The controller includes a bus 211. The bus 211 is used to connect the communication interface 214 and the processor 213. The bus 211 can be an ISA bus 211, a PCI bus 211 or an EISA bus 211, etc.

[0263] The controller includes at least one software function module that can be stored in the memory 212 in the form of software or firmware.

[0264] In this application, after receiving the execution instruction, the processor 213 executes the program to implement Figure 25 、 26 the relevant control logics of the cleaning mode and the self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner 100 shown in.

[0265] It should be noted that the cleaning mode in this disclosure is to clean and deodorize the indoor environment by using the ions generated by the water ion generating device 3.

[0266] The self-cleaning mode of the air conditioner 100 in this disclosure is to clean and deodorize the interior of the air conditioner 100 by using the ions generated by the water ion generating device 3.

[0267] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes an air quality detection device. The air quality detection device is electrically connected to the controller. The air quality detection device is used to detect the concentration of indoor particulate matter and transmit the concentration of indoor particulate matter to the controller.

[0268] In some embodiments, the air quality detection device is set as a particulate matter concentration detection sensor, which is used to detect the concentration of indoor particulate matter and transmit the detected particulate matter concentration to the controller. In some embodiments, the controller can judge whether to clean the interior accordingly.

[0269] In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 includes a humidity detection device. The humidity detection device is electrically connected to the controller. The humidity monitoring device is used to detect the indoor humidity and transmit the indoor humidity to the controller.

[0270] In some embodiments, the humidity detection device is provided as a humidity sensor, which is used to detect the indoor environmental humidity and determine whether temperature compensation is required. Specifically, it includes controlling whether the refrigeration module 33 operates and the magnitude of the operating power of the refrigeration module 33.

[0271] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to control the refrigeration module 33 to refrigerate and at least reduce the air temperature around the electrode component 31 through the first electrode 34.

[0272] Control the voltage output component to output a first voltage to the electrode component 31 so that the electrode component 31 ionizes the moisture in the absorbed air to generate water ions.

[0273] The air conditioner air enters the ion housing 32 through the third side 327, flows through the electrode component 31 to carry away the water ions generated by the electrode component 31, and is split when flowing through the first electrode 34 and then flows into the room.

[0274] In the above embodiments, the first electrode 34 is connected to the refrigeration module 33 to cool the vicinity of the emitting end of the electrode component 31, increase the air humidity, and increase the amount of water ions generated by the electrode component 31.

[0277] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to, when the concentration of indoor particulate matter exceeds a first set threshold (S2501), determine that an indoor cleaning mode is required at this time (S2502).

[0278] In some embodiments, when the concentration of indoor particulate matter exceeds the first set threshold, judge the working state at this time.

[0279] In some embodiments, if the air conditioner 100 is in the first mode at this time (S2503), then the refrigeration module 33 needs to operate to increase the air humidity (S2504).

[0280] In some embodiments, control the refrigeration module 33 to operate at a first power to reduce the air temperature near the electrode component 31, and control the voltage output component to output a first voltage to the electrode component 31 so that the electrode component 31 absorbs moisture to generate water ions.

[0281] It should be noted that the above first mode refers to the working state in which the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner 100 is in the condenser state.

[0282] When the air conditioner 100 is in the first mode, since the humidity of the air flow at the air outlet is relatively low, it is difficult for the electrode component 31 to adsorb moisture in the air, and only a few negative ions can be generated, resulting in a poor purification effect. In order to have more water vapor near the ion-emitting electrode, the refrigeration module 33 connected to the ion housing 32 operates at this time. Cold is output to the vicinity of the electrode component 31 through the first electrode 34 and the second electrode 35 to promote the condensation of water molecules, so that the water-absorbing material of the electrode component 31 can adsorb enough water to maintain the output of water ions.

[0283] In some embodiments, if the air conditioner 100 is in the second mode at this time (S2505), then it is not necessary for the refrigeration module 33 to operate to lower the air temperature (S2506), thereby increasing the air humidity.

[0284] When the refrigeration module 33 does not operate, relying only on the high heat storage property of the metal, the low-temperature environment near the electrode component 31 is maintained, the air humidity near the electrode component 31 is increased, and more water ions are promoted to be generated on the surface of the electrode component 31.

[0285] It should be noted that the above-mentioned second mode means that the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditioner 100 is in the working state of the evaporator.

[0286] In some embodiments, when the concentration of indoor particulate matter does not exceed the first set threshold and exceeds the second set threshold, if the indoor humidity exceeds the first preset humidity, the refrigeration module 33 is controlled to operate at the second power to lower the air temperature around the electrode component 31, thereby increasing the air humidity of the electrode component 31. The electrode component 31 can adsorb more water vapor, thereby generating water ions with stronger purification ability than negative ions. Among them, the first set threshold is greater than the second set threshold.

[0287] In some embodiments, when the concentration of indoor particulate matter does not exceed the first set threshold and exceeds the second set threshold, if the indoor humidity does not exceed the first preset humidity, the refrigeration module 33 is controlled to operate at the first power to more quickly lower the air temperature around the electrode component 31. Among them, the first set threshold is greater than the second set threshold.

[0288] In the present disclosure, the first power is greater than the second power. It can be understood that those skilled in the art can set the above technical solutions to multiple gear setting thresholds and preset humidities according to the technical solutions in the above embodiments to control the stepwise power control of the refrigeration module 33.

[0289] In some embodiments, when the concentration of indoor particulate matter does not exceed the second set threshold, it is determined that the indoor air quality does not require the strong purification mode to be turned on. The refrigeration module 33 connected to the first electrode 34 is controlled not to operate, and the ion emission electrode receives the first voltage output by the voltage output component. At this time, the ion emission electrode generates negative ions with dust removal and sterilization purification effects to treat the indoor air.

[0290] In some embodiments, the power of the refrigeration module 33 can be controlled by controlling the rotational angular velocity of the driving component to rotate the fixed turntable 338. The faster the fixed turntable 338 is driven to rotate, the greater the power of the refrigeration module 33. Conversely, the power of the refrigeration module 33 is smaller.

[0291] Refer to Figure 26 , and illustrate the control logic of the water ion generation device 3.

[0292] Judge whether the concentration of indoor particulate matter exceeds the first set threshold (S2601);

[0293] In step S2601, if it exceeds the first set threshold, then execute step S2602, control the refrigeration module 33 to operate at the first power, and the voltage output component outputs the first voltage to the electrode component 31;

[0294] In step S2601, if it does not exceed the first set threshold, then execute step S2603, and judge whether the concentration of indoor particulate matter exceeds the second set threshold;

[0295] In step S2603, if it exceeds the second set threshold, then execute step S2604, and judge whether the indoor humidity exceeds the first preset humidity;

[0296] In step S2604, if it exceeds, then execute step S2605, control the refrigeration module 33 to operate at the second power, and the voltage output component outputs the first voltage to the electrode component 31.

[0297] In step S2604, if it does not exceed, then execute step S2606, control the refrigeration module 33 to operate at the first power, and the voltage output component outputs the first voltage to the electrode component 31.

[0298] In step S2603, if it does not exceed the second set threshold, then execute step S2607, the refrigeration module 33 does not work, and the voltage output component outputs the first voltage to the electrode component 31.

[0299] In some embodiments, to rapidly improve indoor air quality, the negative water ion generating device 3 mentioned in the present invention may also be connected to an oxygenation device. The air outlet of the oxygenation device is connected near the ion emitting head. The high-concentration oxygen generated can provide more carriers for the existence of ions, further increasing the generation amount of negative oxygen water ions and achieving a better sterilization effect.

[0300] This application discloses an air conditioner 100. The water ion generating device 3 in the air conditioner 100 includes an electrode component 31. A magnetic field is applied on both sides of the electrode component 31. On the one hand, it can make the arrangement of water molecules in the generated air more orderly. On the other hand, for the large-sized water molecule clusters that are mutually associated near the emission end of the electrode component 31, under the action of the magnetic field, the hydrogen bonds between water molecules are broken to generate more small clusters or single water molecules, which can be more easily adsorbed by the water-absorbing material in the electrode component 31, with a higher water absorption rate, generating more oxidation active substances, thereby improving the sterilization and purification ability of this module.

[0301] And a first electrode 34 connected to the refrigeration module 33 is arranged around the electrode component 31 to increase the humidity around the electrode component 31 and improve the water ion generation amount of the water ion generating device 3.
