Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] An air conditioner is an electrical device commonly used to adjust the indoor environmental temperature. However, the long-term operation of the air conditioner will cause the relative humidity of the indoor air to drop, accelerate the loss of moisture on the surface of the human skin, resulting in poor user experience, and even easily cause health hazards to the human body. Therefore, many users will purchase an air humidifier to humidify the air in the room, but this will increase the user's burden and also occupy additional space in the user's room. To improve the above problems, the related art integrates a humidification module into the air conditioner, which not only increases the functions of the air conditioner but also reduces the cost burden of the user using the air conditioner and reduces the occupation of indoor space.

[0003] However, when the air conditioner with a humidification function provided by the related art is in use, the purpose of humidification is achieved by using the wind blown out when the air conditioner heats or cools. As a result, when using the air conditioner to adjust the environmental temperature, the humidification function cannot be turned off as needed, that is, the air conditioner will start humidifying synchronously as long as it is in use. When the user does not need humidification, it will instead lead to a poor experience for the user when using the air conditioner. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is how to turn off the humidification function of the air conditioner when humidification is not needed and improve the user experience.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides an air conditioner, including:

[0006] A housing, which is provided with an air duct and a first air outlet;

[0007] A humidifying member, which is arranged in the air duct, and the first air outlet is used for the air entering the air duct to blow out after passing through the humidifying member; and,

[0008] A cover plate, which is movably connected to the housing to block or expose the first air outlet.

[0009] The air blown into the air duct will first pass through the humidifying member and then blow out from the first air outlet, so that the air blown out from the first air outlet can carry out the moisture on the humidifying member, achieving the purpose of humidifying the environment. And a movable cover plate is arranged on the housing to block or open the first air outlet by using the cover plate. Then, when humidification is needed, the cover plate can be used to open the first air outlet so that the moisture on the humidifying member can be carried out to humidify the air. When humidification is not needed, the cover plate is used to block the first air outlet to prevent the air from blowing out from the first air outlet, so that the moisture on the humidifying member will not blow out from the first air outlet to humidify the air, achieving the purpose of turning off the humidification function and improving the user experience.

[0010] In an alternative embodiment, the housing includes a middle frame and a front panel connected to the middle frame. An air duct is formed between the middle frame and the front panel, and the front panel is provided with a first air outlet; the cover plate is movably connected to the front panel.

[0011] By arranging the humidifying member in the air duct between the front panel and the housing, the moisture on the humidifying member can be directly carried out by the air blown out when the air conditioner cools or heats, and there is no need to additionally provide a blower dedicated to blowing air to the humidifying member. That is, the blower dedicated to humidification can be reduced to lower the cost, and the structure of the air conditioner can be made more compact. Also, the arrangement of the humidifying member can be improved, and it will not have an adverse impact and interference on the normal heating or cooling effect of the air conditioner.

[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the cover plate is rotatably connected or slidably connected to the housing.

[0013] Both the rotational and sliding connection methods can ensure the easy assembly of the cover plate and the housing, and ensure that the cover plate can move smoothly relative to the housing to open or block the first air outlet.

[0014] In an alternative embodiment, the humidifying member is distributed opposite to the first air outlet, and when the cover plate blocks the first air outlet, the cover plate is distributed opposite to the humidifying member.

[0015] With such an arrangement, when the cover plate opens the first air outlet, the humidifying member can be directly exposed from the first air outlet, improving the visibility of the humidifying member, so as to facilitate quickly and clearly observing whether the humidifying member is dirty or damaged, and then facilitating timely replacement and maintenance of the humidifying member.

[0016] In an alternative embodiment, when the cover plate exposes the first air outlet, the cover plate overlaps with the housing.

[0017] With such an arrangement, when the cover plate opens the first air outlet, the overall appearance compactness of the air conditioner can be ensured, and the problem that a larger installation space needs to be reserved for the assembly of the air conditioner due to the need for the cover plate to move can be improved, that is, the space occupied by the air conditioner can be reduced.

[0018] In an alternative embodiment, the housing is further provided with a second air outlet, and the air conditioner further includes a first air deflector. The first air deflector is movably connected to the housing and is located at the second air outlet. The first air deflector is used to block or open the second air outlet and is also used to direct the air to the air duct.

[0019] The first air deflector disposed at the second air outlet can not only open the second air outlet to make the air blow out from the second air outlet, improving the efficiency of the air conditioner in temperature adjustment, that is, improving the refrigeration or heating efficiency of the air conditioner, but also direct the air to the air duct to ensure that the air can reliably blow into the air duct to carry out the moisture on the humidifying member, ensuring the humidifying effect of the air conditioner.

[0020] In an alternative embodiment, the first air deflector is provided with a first air outlet hole. When the first air deflector blocks the second air outlet, the surface of the first air deflector can direct part of the air to the air duct, and the first air outlet hole is used to let the other part of the air blow out of the housing.

[0021] By providing the first air outlet hole on the first air deflector, when the first air deflector blocks the second air outlet, on the one hand, the surface of the first air deflector can direct part of the air to the air duct to ensure that the air can reliably blow into the air duct to carry out the moisture on the humidifying member, ensuring the humidifying effect of the air conditioner; on the other hand, the other part of the air can blow out from the first air outlet hole to ensure that the temperature adjustment effect of the air conditioner in heating or refrigeration will not be adversely affected due to the purpose of humidification, and making the air blow out through the first air outlet hole can also improve the problem that the air blows directly at the user, and by preventing the air from blowing directly at the user, the user comfort in use is improved.

[0022] In an alternative embodiment, the air conditioner includes two first air deflectors. Both of the two first air deflectors are movably disposed on the housing and are both located at the second air outlet, and the two first air deflectors are arranged side by side.

[0023] With such an arrangement, it is convenient to obtain more different air outlet directions by adjusting the rotation angles of the two first air deflectors to meet more user requirements.

[0024] In an alternative embodiment, the humidifying member is located at one end of the air duct close to the second air outlet.

[0025] With such an arrangement, it can be ensured that the air entering the air duct can reliably blow over the humidifying member and then blow out from the first air outlet, thereby ensuring that the air conditioner has a good humidifying effect.

[0026] In an alternative embodiment, the air conditioner further includes a second air deflector. The second air deflector is movably connected to the housing and is located at the entrance of the air duct for guiding the air into the air duct.

[0027] By providing the second air deflector, the air can be more reliably guided into the air duct, and the air entering the air duct can blow over the humidifying member and then blow out from the first air outlet to stably and reliably carry out the moisture on the humidifying member, that is, to ensure a stable and reliable humidifying effect.

[0028] In an alternative embodiment, the second air deflector is provided with second air outlet holes, and the second air deflector can block or open the inlet of the air duct; when the second air deflector blocks the inlet of the air duct, the second air outlet holes are used to allow at least part of the air to enter the air duct; when the second air deflector opens the inlet of the air duct, the surface of the second air deflector can guide the air into the air duct.

[0029] When the second air deflector blocks the inlet of the air duct, the air can enter the air duct through the second air outlet holes, so as to reduce the amount of air entering the air duct and the amount of air blowing towards the humidifying member; when the second air deflector opens the inlet of the air duct, the surface of the second air deflector can be used to guide the air into the air duct, so as to increase the amount of air entering the air duct and the amount of air blowing towards the humidifying member; in this way, the amount of air entering the air duct can be adjusted by the second air deflector, so as to realize the adjustment of the humidifying amount to meet the needs of more users.

[0030] In an alternative embodiment, the second air deflector is an arc-shaped plate, and when the second air deflector opens the inlet of the air duct, the arc-shaped concave surface of the second air deflector is used to guide the air into the air duct and blow towards the humidifying member.

[0031] Using the arc-shaped concave surface of the second air deflector to guide the air into the air duct can ensure the reliability of the air entering the air duct, and further ensure the reliability of the air blowing through the humidifying member and taking out the moisture on the humidifying member, that is, ensure the reliability of humidification.

Detailed Embodiments

[0038] An air conditioner is an electrical device commonly used to adjust the indoor environmental temperature; in order to expand the functions of the air conditioner, related technologies have also integrated a humidification module on the air conditioner so that the air conditioner can also be used to increase the humidity of the air; moreover, in order to save costs, the air conditioners provided by related technologies use the air blown out during heating or cooling of the air conditioner to carry out the moisture on the humidifying member, achieving the purpose of increasing the air humidity.

[0039] However, this type of air conditioner cannot independently turn off the humidification function, and humidification will start synchronously as long as it is in use. When the user does not need humidification, it will instead lead to a poor experience for the user when using the air conditioner.

[0040] To improve the above problems, this embodiment discloses an air conditioner that can turn off the humidification function when humidification is not required, improving the user experience.

[0041] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will specifically describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , the air conditioner 010 of this embodiment refers to an indoor wall-mounted unit, which includes a housing 100, a fan (not shown in the figure), and a heat exchange component 600. The fan and the heat exchange component 600 are both assembled in the housing 100, and the housing 100 is provided with a second air outlet 103; the fan can make the gas that has passed through the heat exchange of the heat exchange component 600 blow out from the second air outlet 103 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the indoor environmental temperature. Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner 010 may also refer to an indoor cabinet unit, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0043] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the air conditioner 010 further includes a first air deflector 410. The first air deflector 410 is movably connected to the housing 100, and the first air deflector 410 is located at the second air outlet 103. The first air deflector 410 is used to block or open the second air outlet 103. When the first air deflector 410 opens the second air outlet 103, the wind can blow out from the second air outlet 103, and the direction of the blown air can also be adjusted by adjusting the angle of the first air deflector 410; when the first air deflector 410 blocks the second air outlet 103, problems such as dust falling inside the housing 100 can be reduced, and the aesthetics of the air conditioner 010 can be improved.

[0044] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2, when using the air conditioner 010, in order to reduce the problem that the wind blows directly at the human body and causes discomfort in the body feeling; the first air deflector 410 is further provided with first air outlet holes 411. When the first air deflector 410 blocks the second air outlet 103, the wind can be blown out through the first air outlet holes 411, so that the wind can be dispersed, thereby improving the problem that the wind blows directly at the user, and by making the wind not blow directly at the user, the comfort of the user is improved.

[0045] Furthermore, the first air deflector 410 is provided with a plurality of first air outlet holes 411; in this way, when the first air deflector 410 blocks the second air outlet 103, the wind can pass through the plurality of first air outlet holes 411 and be dispersed by the plurality of first air outlet holes 411, fully realizing the air outlet mode without wind feeling and improving the user experience.

[0046] Still further, the first air deflector 410 is an arc-shaped plate, and both the arc-shaped concave surface and the arc-shaped convex surface of the first air deflector 410 can be used to guide the wind to blow out from the second air outlet 103; when the first air deflector 410 blocks the second air outlet 103, the arc-shaped concave surface of the first air deflector 410 faces the inner part of the housing 100; the first air outlet holes 411 penetrate through the arc-shaped convex surface and the concave surface of the first air deflector 410. Of course, in other embodiments, the first air deflector 410 can also be a flat plate, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0047] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 , the air conditioner 010 includes two first air deflectors 410, both of the two first air deflectors 410 are movably connected to the housing 100, and the two first air deflectors 410 are arranged side by side at the second air outlet 103. With such a setting, the two first air deflectors 410 can be used to block the second air outlet 103 at the same time, or at least one first air deflector 410 can be used to open the second air outlet 103, and more different air outlet directions can be obtained by adjusting the rotation angles of the two first air deflectors 410 to meet more user needs.

[0048] It should be noted that the direction of adjusting the air outlet direction by using the two first air deflectors 410 is similar to the related technology and will not be elaborated herein.

[0049] Optionally, the air conditioner 010 further includes two motors (not shown in the figure), both of the two motors are assembled in the housing 100, and the two motors are in transmission connection with the two first air deflectors 410 in one-to-one correspondence, so as to drive the two first air deflectors 410 to rotate respectively by using the two motors to block or open the second air outlet 103.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner 010 includes a motor and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected between two first air deflector plates 410, and the motor is drivingly connected to the transmission assembly so as to drive the transmission assembly by the motor to drive the two first air deflector plates 410 to rotate. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0051] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the number of the first air deflector plates 410 can also be increased or decreased as needed. For example, one first air deflector plate 410 can be provided, or three first air deflector plates 410 can be provided, etc. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first air outlet holes 411 may not be provided on the first air deflector plates 410, or the first air outlet holes 411 may be provided only on one of the first air deflector plates 410.

[0053] It should be understood that when the air conditioner 010 is in use, the air conditioner 010 is also connected to an outdoor unit through a pipeline. The structure of the outdoor unit and the principle of cooperating with the air conditioner 010 to work are similar to those in the related art and will not be elaborated here.

[0054] In order to integrate the humidifying function on the air conditioner 010; please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the housing 100 is provided with an air duct 101 and a first air outlet 102. The air conditioner 010 further includes a humidifying member 200. The humidifying member 200 is disposed in the air duct 101. The first air outlet 102 is used for the air entering the air duct 101 to blow out after passing through the humidifying member 200. Since the air blown into the air duct 101 will first pass through the humidifying member 200 and then blow out from the first air outlet 102, the water on the humidifying member 200 can be taken out by the air blown out from the first air outlet 102, achieving the purpose of humidifying the environment.

[0055] It should be noted that the humidifying member 200 can refer to sponges, foam sponges, etc. that can absorb and store water. Specific limitations are not made here.

[0056] Furthermore, the air conditioner 010 further includes a cover plate 300. The cover plate 300 is movably connected to the housing 100 to block or expose the first air outlet 102. With such a setting, by using the movable cover plate 300, the first air outlet 102 can be opened by the cover plate 300 only when humidification is needed, so that the water on the humidifying member 200 can be taken out to humidify the air, meeting the user's demand for humidifying the air while using the air conditioner 010; when humidification is not needed, the first air outlet 102 can be blocked by the cover plate 300 to prevent the air from blowing out from the first air outlet 102, so that the water on the humidifying member 200 will not blow out from the first air outlet 102 to humidify the air, achieving the purpose of closing the humidifying function and meeting the user's demand for not needing humidification while using the air conditioner 010, improving the user experience.

[0057] Furthermore, the housing 100 includes a middle frame 110 and a front panel 120 connected to the middle frame 110. The middle frame 110 is provided with a second air outlet 103, and the first air guide plate 410 is movably connected to the middle frame 110 and is in transmission connection with a motor arranged on the middle frame 110; an air duct 101 is formed between the middle frame 110 and the front panel 120, and the front panel 120 is provided with a first air outlet 102; the cover plate 300 is movably connected to the front panel 120. By arranging the humidifying member 200 in the air duct 101 between the front panel 120 and the housing 100, the moisture on the humidifying member 200 can be directly carried out by the air blown out when the air conditioner 010 cools or heats, and there is no need to additionally arrange a special fan for blowing air to the humidifying member 200, that is, the special fan configured for humidification can be reduced to reduce costs, and the structure of the air conditioner 010 can be made more compact, and the arrangement of the humidifying member 200 can also be improved, so as not to have an adverse impact and interference on the normal heating or cooling effect of the air conditioner 010.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the cover plate 300 is slidably connected to the housing 100; specifically, the cover plate 300 is slidably connected to the front panel 120. The sliding connection method can ensure the easy assembly of the cover plate 300 and the housing 100, and ensure that the cover plate 300 can smoothly move relative to the housing 100 to open or block the first air outlet 102.

[0059] Optionally, the cover plate 300 can slide upward to expose the first air outlet 102, and can slide downward to block the first air outlet 102.

[0060] Of course, in other embodiments, the cover plate 300 can slide downward to expose the first air outlet 102, and can slide upward to block the first air outlet 102; or, in other embodiments, the cover plate 300 can also slide horizontally to expose or block the first air outlet 102, that is, the cover plate 300 can slide in one of the left and right directions to expose the first air outlet 102, and can slide in the other of the two directions to block the first air outlet 102.

[0061] It should be noted that the above-mentioned "up", "down", "left", and "right" refer to the relative position directions, specifically, it can refer to the "up", "down", "left", and "right" directions relative to the air conditioner 010 itself after the air conditioner 010 is assembled on an installation position such as a wall surface.

[0062] It should also be noted that the cover plate 300 blocking the first air outlet 102 may mean that the cover plate 300 completely closes the first air outlet 102, or it may mean that the cover plate 300 does not completely close the first air outlet 102 and leaves a small gap with negligible air volume.

[0063] Optionally, the cover plate 300 and the front panel 120 are slidably connected via a slide rail assembly; or, one of the cover plate 300 and the front panel 120 is provided with a slide groove, and the other is connected with a slider, and the slider is slidably plugged into the slide groove.

[0064] Optionally, the cover 300 can be manually slid by the user to expose or cover the first air outlet 102; or, the cover 300 can also be driven by a driving mechanism arranged on the front panel 120 or the middle frame 110 to expose or cover the first air outlet 102, wherein the driving mechanism includes a belt driving mechanism, a screw driving mechanism, a gear rack driving mechanism, etc., which are not specifically limited here.

[0065] It should be understood that in other embodiments, the cover plate 300 may also be rotatably connected to the housing 100; illustratively, the cover plate 300 may also be rotatably connected to the front panel 120 via a pivot shaft, so as to expose or open the first air outlet 102 by rotating the cover plate 300. The rotatable connection method can also ensure the easy assembly of the cover plate 300 and the housing 100, and ensure that the cover plate 300 can move smoothly relative to the housing 100 to open or cover the first air outlet 102.

[0066] Optionally, the cover 300 can be rotated manually by a user to expose or cover the first air outlet 102; or, the cover 300 can also be driven by a driving mechanism arranged on the front panel 120 or the middle frame 110 to expose or cover the first air outlet 102, wherein the driving mechanism can be a motor, a gear driving mechanism, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0067] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The humidifying element 200 is arranged relative to the first air outlet 102, and when the cover plate 300 blocks the first air outlet 102, the cover plate 300 is arranged relative to the humidifying element 200. In this way, when the cover plate 300 opens the first air outlet 102, the humidifying element 200 is directly exposed from the first air outlet 102, which improves the visibility of the humidifying element 200, so that it is easy to quickly and clearly observe whether the humidifying element 200 is dirty or damaged, and then it is easy to replace and maintain the humidifying element 200 in time.

[0068] Of course, in other embodiments, the humidifying element 200 is not arranged opposite to the first air outlet 102 , and when the cover plate 300 exposes the first air outlet 102 , the humidifying element 200 is not exposed from the first air outlet 102 .

[0069] Optionally, see Figure 4When the cover plate 300 exposes the first air outlet 102, the cover plate 300 overlaps with the housing 100. This arrangement ensures that when the cover plate 300 exposes the first air outlet 102, the overall appearance of the air conditioner 010 is compact, and improves the problem that the assembly of the air conditioner 010 requires a larger installation space due to the need for the cover plate 300 to be movable, that is, reduces the space occupied by the air conditioner 010.

[0070] Of course, in other embodiments, when the cover plate 300 exposes the first air outlet 102 , the cover plate 300 and the front panel 120 are distributed at an angle, and the angle between the two is 90°, 80°, 100°, etc., which is not specifically limited here.

[0071] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the first air guide plate 410 located at the second air outlet 103 can also be used to guide the wind into the air duct 101; illustratively, when the first air guide plate 410 blocks the second air outlet 103, the surface of the first air guide plate 410 can guide part of the wind to the air duct 101, while the other part of the wind can be blown out from the first air outlet 411 provided on the first air guide plate 410, that is, when the first air guide plate 410 blocks the second air outlet 103, the surface of the first air guide plate 410 on one side facing the inside of the shell 100 can guide part of the wind to the air duct 101, while the first air outlet 411 provided on the first air guide plate 410 can blow out the other part of the wind. In this way, the first air guide plate 410 can be fully utilized to introduce wind into the air duct 101, so that the wind entering the air duct 101 can be used to reliably bring out the moisture on the humidification component 200, and the humidification effect can be reliably achieved; and the setting of the first air outlet 411 on the first air guide plate 410 can ensure that the heating or cooling temperature control effect of the air conditioner 010 is not adversely affected by the purpose of humidification.

[0072] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 4 The humidifier 200 is located at one end of the air duct 101 close to the second air outlet 103, that is, the humidifier 200 is located at one end of the front panel 120 close to the second air outlet 103, and the humidifier 200 is arranged opposite to the first air outlet 102. Such an arrangement can ensure that the wind entering the air duct 101 can reliably blow through the humidifier 200 and then blow out from the first air outlet 102, thereby ensuring that the air conditioner 010 has a good humidification effect.

[0073] Optionally, see Figure 2 and Figure 4, the air conditioner 010 further includes a second air deflector 420, which is movably arranged on the housing 100; specifically, the second air deflector 420 is movably arranged on the middle frame 110, and the second air deflector 420 is located at the entrance of the air duct 101 for guiding air into the air duct 101. Through the arrangement of the second air deflector 420, the air can be more reliably guided into the air duct 101, and the air entering the air duct 101 can blow through the humidifying member 200 and then blow out from the first air outlet 102, so as to stably and reliably carry out the moisture on the humidifying member 200, that is, to ensure a stable and reliable humidifying effect.

[0074] Furthermore, the second air deflector 420 is provided with a second air outlet hole 421, and the second air deflector 420 can block or open the entrance of the air duct 101; when the second air deflector 420 blocks the entrance of the air duct 101, the second air outlet hole 421 is used to allow at least part of the air to enter the air duct 101; when the second air deflector 420 opens the entrance of the air duct 101, the surface of the second air deflector 420 can guide the air into the air duct 101. When the second air deflector 420 blocks the entrance of the air duct 101, the air can enter the air duct 101 through the second air outlet hole 421 to reduce the air volume entering the air duct 101 and the air volume blowing towards the humidifying member 200; when the second air deflector 420 opens the entrance of the air duct 101, the surface of the second air deflector 420 can be used to guide the air into the air duct 101 to increase the air volume entering the air duct 101 and the air volume blowing towards the humidifying member 200; in this way, the air volume entering the air duct 101 can be adjusted through the second air deflector 420, so as to realize the adjustment of the humidifying amount to meet the needs of more users.

[0075] It should be noted that when the second air deflector 420 opens the entrance of the air duct 101, the opening amount of the entrance of the air duct 101 can also be adjusted by adjusting the rotation angle of the second air deflector 420 to realize the regulation of the humidifying efficiency.

[0076] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the second air deflector 420 is not provided with the second air outlet hole 421.

[0077] Optionally, the middle frame 110 of the air conditioner 010 is further provided with a motor that is drivingly connected to the second air deflector 420, so as to drive the second air deflector 420 to rotate by using the motor, and open or block the inlet of the air duct 101.

[0078] Optionally, the second air deflector 420 is an arc-shaped plate. When the second air deflector 420 opens the inlet of the air duct 101, the arc-shaped concave surface of the second air deflector 420 is used to guide air into the air duct 101 and blow towards the humidifying member 200. Using the arc-shaped concave surface of the second air deflector 420 to guide air into the air duct 101 can ensure the reliability of air entering the air duct 101, and further ensure the reliability of the air blowing through the humidifying member 200 and taking out the moisture on the humidifying member 200, that is, ensure the reliability of humidification.

[0079] Of course, in other embodiments, the second air deflector 420 may also be a straight plate, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0080] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the humidifying member 200 is connected to the middle frame 110 through a bracket 500; in this way, the stability of the humidifying member 200 disposed in the air duct 101 between the front panel 120 and the housing 100 can be ensured, thereby ensuring the reliability of humidification using the humidifying member 200.

[0081] The connection manner between the bracket 500 and the housing 100 includes but is not limited to snap connection, bonding, and connection with fasteners such as bolts.

[0082] Optionally, when assembling the humidifying member 200, the humidifying member 200 can be assembled to the bracket 500, and then the humidifying member 200 and the bracket 500 as a whole can be assembled to the middle frame 110, and then the front panel 120 can be assembled. In this way, the modular installation of the humidifying member 200 and the bracket 500 can be ensured, and the ease of assembly can be improved.

[0083] Of course, in other embodiments, when assembling the humidifying member 200, the bracket 500 can be assembled to the middle frame 110 first, then the humidifying member 200 can be assembled to the bracket 500, and finally the front panel 120 can be assembled, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0084] In other embodiments, the humidifying member 200 can also be connected to the front panel 120 through the bracket 500.

[0085] Optionally, the air conditioner 010 further includes a water tank (not shown in the figure) and a water pump (not shown in the figure) disposed in the water tank for delivering the water stored in the water tank to the humidifying member 200; the water tank is assembled to the middle frame 110. Among them, the position where the water tank is assembled to the middle frame 110, as well as the structure of the water tank and the position and structure where the water pump is assembled to the water tank, are all similar to the related art and will not be elaborated herein.

[0086] When the air conditioner 010 of this embodiment is in use, at least one of the first air deflector 410 and the second air deflector 420 can be used to guide the air into the air duct 101, so that after the air entering the air duct 101 blows through the humidifying member 200, it is blown out from the first air outlet 102 provided on the front panel 120 and exposed by the cover plate 300, achieving the purpose of taking out the moisture on the humidifying member 200 and increasing the air humidity. If the air conditioner 010 is used to adjust the ambient temperature and humidification is not required, the cover plate 300 can be used to block the first air outlet 102 to prevent the moisture on the humidifying member 200 from being taken out.

[0087] In summary, through the setting of the cover plate 300, the air conditioner 010 of the present utility model can turn off the humidification function of the air conditioner 010 when humidification is not required, improving the user experience.

[0088] Although the present utility model is disclosed as above, the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model should be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
