Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and more particularly, 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, accelerating the loss of moisture on the surface of the human skin, resulting in poor user experience and even potential 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 address the above issues, related technologies integrate a humidifying component into the air conditioner, which not only adds functions to the air conditioner but also reduces the cost burden on users and the occupation of indoor space.
[0003] However, for the air conditioner integrated with a humidifying component provided by related technologies, it is not convenient to maintain and replace the humidifying component. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The problem solved by the utility model is how to conveniently maintain and replace the humidifying component.
[0005] To solve the above problem, the utility model provides an air conditioner, comprising:

[0009] By making the wind blow through the humidifying component blocked at the first air outlet and then blow out from the first air outlet, the moisture absorbed by the humidifying component can be carried out, achieving the purpose of increasing the environmental humidity; and the humidifying component is detachably connected to the housing, which is convenient for maintaining and replacing the humidifying component that is dirty or damaged during the use of the air conditioner, ensuring the convenience of replacing and maintaining the humidifying component.
[0010] In an optional embodiment, the humidifying component includes a core frame and a humidifying element, the humidifying element is assembled on the core frame, the core frame is detachably connected to the housing, and the humidifying element is blocked at the first air outlet.
[0011] The material of the humidifying component is usually relatively soft. By assembling the humidifying component to the housing through the core frame, the core frame can be used to support the humidifying component, improving the problem that the humidifying component is prone to wrinkles under the weight of water after absorption. Furthermore, it ensures that the humidifying component has a large wind-receiving area, so as to utilize the wind blowing through the humidifying component to efficiently and reliably carry out the moisture on the humidifying component, achieving a good humidifying effect; it can also ensure the easy operation of replacing and maintaining the humidifying component through the setting of the core frame.
[0012] In an alternative embodiment, the humidifying module further includes a bracket, the bracket is connected to the housing, and the humidifying component is detachably connected to the housing through the bracket.
[0013] By detachably assembling the humidifying component to the housing through the bracket, it not only ensures the easy maintenance and replacement of the humidifying component, but also reduces the additional design of the housing during the production of the housing, which is beneficial to improving the problem of cost increase.
[0014] In an alternative embodiment, the humidifying component includes a core frame and a humidifying component. The core frame includes a core frame body and a toggling member connected to the core frame body.

[0048] However, for the air conditioner integrated with the humidifying component provided by the related art, it is not convenient to maintain and replace the humidifying component.
[0049] In order to improve the above problems, this embodiment discloses an air conditioner that can conveniently replace and maintain the humidifying component, improving the experience of users or after-sales maintenance personnel.
[0050] To make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present utility model will be given with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0051] 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 front panel 200, a fan 110 and a heat exchange component (not shown in the figure). The front panel 200 is connected to the housing 100. The fan 110 and the heat exchange component are both assembled in the housing 100. The housing 100 is provided with a second air outlet 101; the fan 110 can blow the gas that has passed through the heat exchange of the heat exchange component out from the second air outlet 101 to achieve the purpose of adjusting the indoor environmental temperature.
[0052] Further, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, the air conditioner 010 further includes a wind deflector 120. The wind deflector 120 is movably connected to the housing 100 and is located at the second air outlet 101. The wind deflector 120 is used to block or open the second air outlet 101. When the wind deflector 120 opens the second air outlet 101, wind can blow out from the second air outlet 101, and by adjusting the angle of the wind deflector 120, the air outlet direction can be adjusted; when the wind deflector 120 blocks the second air outlet 101, problems such as dust falling inside the housing 100 can be reduced, and the aesthetics of the air conditioner 010 can be improved.
[0053] Optionally, in order to reduce the problem that the wind blows directly at the human body when using the air conditioner 010, causing discomfort in the body feeling; the wind deflector 120 is also provided with air outlet holes 121. When the wind deflector 120 blocks the second air outlet 101, wind can blow out through the air outlet holes 121, so that the wind can be scattered, thereby improving the problem that the wind blows directly at the user, and by preventing the wind from blowing directly at the user, the user's comfort in use is improved.
[0054] Furthermore, the wind deflector 120 is provided with a plurality of air outlet holes 121; in this way, when the wind deflector 120 blocks the second air outlet 101, wind can pass through the plurality of air outlet holes 121 and be scattered by the plurality of air outlet holes 121, fully realizing a windless feeling air outlet mode and improving the user experience.

Of course, in other embodiments, the wind deflector 120 can also be a flat plate, which is not specifically limited herein.
[0056] Optionally, the air conditioner 010 includes two wind deflectors 120. The two wind deflectors 120 are both movably connected to the housing 100 and are arranged side by side at the second air outlet 101. Such a setting can use the two wind deflectors 120 to block the second air outlet 101 at the same time, or use at least one wind deflector 120 to open the second air outlet 101, and more different air outlet directions can be obtained by adjusting the rotation angles of the two wind deflectors 120 to meet the needs of more users.
[0057] It should be noted that the method of using the two wind deflectors 120 to adjust the air outlet direction is similar to the related technology and will not be elaborated here.
[0058] 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 air deflector plates 120 one by one, so as to drive the two air deflector plates 120 to rotate respectively by using the two motors, so as to block or open the second air outlet 101.
[0059] Of course, in other embodiments, the air conditioner 010 includes a motor and a transmission assembly. The transmission assembly is connected between the two air deflector plates 120, and the motor is in transmission connection with the transmission assembly, so as to drive the transmission assembly by using the motor to drive the two air deflector plates 120 to rotate. No specific limitation is made here.
[0060] It should be understood that in some embodiments, the number of the air deflector plates 120 can also be increased or decreased according to needs. For example, one air deflector plate 120 is provided, or three air deflector plates 120 are provided, etc. No specific limitation is made here.
[0061] In some embodiments, the air outlet holes 121 may not be provided on the air deflector plate 120, or the air outlet holes 121 may be provided only on one of the air deflector plates 120.
[0062] Optionally, the housing 100 includes a middle frame. The front panel 200 is connected to the middle frame. The blower 110 and the heat exchange assembly are both assembled in the middle frame. The middle frame is provided with a second air outlet 101, and the air deflector plate 120 is movably connected to the middle frame.
[0063] 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 described in detail here.
[0064] In order to integrate the humidification function on the air conditioner 010; please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, there is an air duct 220 provided between the housing 100 and the front panel 200. Specifically, there is an air duct 220 provided between the middle frame and the front panel 200, and the front panel 200 is provided with a first air outlet 210; the air conditioner 010 further includes a humidification module, and the humidification module includes a humidification component 300 detachably connected to the housing 100. Specifically, the humidification component 300 is detachably connected to the middle frame; the humidification component 300 is configured to be detachably assembled to and from the housing 100 at the first air outlet 210, and when the humidification component 300 is assembled to the housing 100, it blocks the first air outlet 210, so that the wind can blow through the humidification component 300 and then blow out from the first air outlet 210. By making the wind blow through the humidification component 300 blocking the first air outlet 210 and then blow out from the first air outlet 210, the moisture absorbed on the humidification component 300 can be taken out, achieving the purpose of increasing the environmental humidity; and the humidification component 300 is detachably connected to the housing 100, which facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the humidification component 300 that has problems such as dirt or damage during the use of the air conditioner 010, that is, it ensures the convenience of replacing and maintaining the humidification component 300.
[0065] It should be noted that the humidification component 300 blocking the first air outlet 210 can also improve the visibility of the humidification component 300, facilitating the user to intuitively see the dirt and damage conditions of the humidification component 300, which is beneficial to timely replacement and maintenance of the humidification component 300, ensuring the humidification effect and the cleanliness.
[0066] It also should be noted that whether the air deflector 120 is in the state of blocking the second air outlet 101 or in the state of opening the second air outlet 101, the air deflector 120 can guide part of the wind into the air duct 220 to ensure the reliability of humidification.
[0067] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the humidification component 300 includes a core frame 320 and a humidifying element 310. The humidifying element 310 is assembled to the core frame 320, and the core frame 320 is detachably connected to the housing 100. The humidifying element 310 blocks the first air outlet 210. The material of the humidifying element 310 is usually relatively soft. By assembling the humidifying element 310 to the housing 100 through the core frame 320, the core frame 320 can be used to support the humidifying element 310, improving the problem that the humidifying element 310 is prone to wrinkles under the weight of water after absorption, and further ensuring that the humidifying element 310 has a large wind receiving area, so as to use the wind blowing through the humidifying element 310 to efficiently and reliably take out the moisture on the humidifying element 310 and achieve a good humidification effect; the easy operation of replacing and maintaining the humidifying element 310 can also be ensured through the setting of the core frame 320.
[0068] Furthermore, the core holder 320 is provided with an inlet (not shown in the figure) and an outlet 322. The humidifying member 310 is located between the inlet and the outlet 322. The wind energy entering the air duct 220 blows out of the inlet, the humidifying member 310, and the outlet 322 in sequence, and finally blows out from the first air outlet 210. With such a setting, the reliability of taking out the moisture on the humidifying member 310 is ensured, and the humidifying effect is ensured.
[0069] It should be noted that the humidifying member 310 can be a sponge, foam, etc. that can absorb and store water, and no specific limitation is made here.
[0070] Optionally, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the humidifying module further includes a bracket 400. The bracket 400 is connected to the housing 100, and the humidifying assembly 300 is detachably connected to the housing 100 through the bracket 400.

The setting of the water receiving tank 431 can, on the one hand, prevent the redundant water dripping from the humidifying assembly 300 from flowing randomly, which may cause other components of the air conditioner 010 to short-circuit due to water. On the other hand, setting the water receiving tank 431 on the bracket 400 can also improve the problem that the water in the water receiving tank 431 accidentally flows out or drips due to vibration or shaking when the humidifying assembly 300 is disassembled, further ensuring the experience of users or maintenance personnel in maintaining the humidifying assembly 300.
[0079] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , a water outlet 325 is provided at the lower end of the core frame 320, and a boss 432 is connected to the bottom of the water receiving tank 431. When the humidifying assembly 300 is assembled to the bracket 400, the lower end of the core frame 320 abuts against the boss 432 to lift the core frame 320 and the humidifying member 310. The water dripping from the humidifying member 310 can enter the water receiving tank 431 from the water outlet 325. With such a setting, the core frame 320 can be lifted so that the bottom of the core frame 320 is spaced from the bottom of the water receiving tank 431, thereby ensuring the water receiving capacity of the water receiving tank 431 and improving the problem of liquid overflow in the water receiving tank 431.
[0080] Optionally, the bracket 400 is connected with a drain pipe (not shown in the figure), and the drain pipe is communicated with the water receiving tank 431 for discharging the water received in the water receiving tank 431 to improve the problem that other components of the air conditioner 010 are short-circuited due to water overflow in the water receiving tank 431.
[0081] The structure of the core frame 320 can be set as needed; in this embodiment, in order to improve the disassembly ease of the humidifying assembly 300, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10, the core holder 320 includes a core holder body 330 and a toggling member 340 connected to the core holder body 330. The humidifying member 310 is assembled to the core holder body 330, and the core holder body 330 is provided with an inlet, an outlet 322, an insertion port 323, and a water drain port 325. The core holder body 330 is detachably connected to the housing 100 through a bracket 400. Among them, the toggling member 340 is configured to drive the core holder body 330 to switch between an assembly position and a disassembly position under the action of an external force. When the core holder body 330 is in the assembly position, the core holder body 330 is detachably connected to the housing 100 through the bracket 400, that is, the upper end of the core holder body 330 is sleeved outside the water replenishing tank 420, and the lower end of the core holder body 330 is inserted into the water receiving tank 431. When the core holder body 330 is in the disassembly position, the core holder body 330 can be separated from the bracket 400, that is, the lower end of the core holder body 330 is removed from the water receiving tank 431, and the upper end of the core holder body 330 can be separated from the water replenishing tank 420. Through the arrangement of the toggling member 340, it is convenient to drive the core holder body 330 to move to the disassembly position by using the toggling member 340, thereby ensuring the easy disassembly of the humidifying assembly 300, which is beneficial to improving the maintenance and replacement efficiency of the humidifying assembly 300 and reducing the maintenance difficulty of the humidifying assembly 300.
[0082] Optionally, please refer to Figure 6 , the core holder body 330 includes a first side wall 331, a second side wall 332, and a third side wall 333 that are sequentially connected at an angle, and the core holder body 330 is generally in a "concave" shape. The first side wall 331 is provided with an inlet, the third side wall 333 is provided with an outlet 322, and a guiding inclined surface 324 is provided on the side of the third side wall 333 facing the first side wall 331. The second side wall 332 is provided with a water drain port 325. The end of the first side wall 331 away from the second side wall 332 and the end of the third side wall 333 away from the second side wall 332 together form an insertion port 323. The humidifying member 310 is disposed in the space surrounded by the first side wall 331, the second side wall 332, and the third side wall 333. The connection manner between the first side wall 331, the second side wall 332, and the third side wall 333, as well as the connection manner between the toggling member 340 and the third side wall 333, include but are not limited to integrally formed, bonded, and snap-connected. The included angle between the first side wall 331 and the second side wall 332, as well as the included angle between the third side wall 333 and the second side wall 332, include but are not limited to 90°, 92°, 87°, etc., and can be increased or decreased as needed.
[0083] Furthermore, the toggling member 340 is connected to the side of the third side wall 333 facing away from the first side wall 331, so as to expose the toggling member 340 to the front side of the air conditioner 010 and ensure the easy operability of disassembling the humidifying assembly 300.
[0084] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6The third side wall 333 includes a plurality of guide ribs 334 and connecting ribs 335. The plurality of guide ribs 334 are connected by the connecting ribs 335, and two adjacent guide ribs 334 are spaced apart in the up-down direction to form an outlet 322. The guide ribs 334 are inclined, and the height of one end of the guide rib 334 close to the humidifying element 310 is lower than the height of the other end of the guide rib 334 away from the humidifying element 310, so as to guide the wind upward, that is, to make the humidified wind blow upward, and then fall under the action of its own weight, thereby ensuring a good humidification effect.
[0085] Of course, in other embodiments, the guide rib 334 may be arranged horizontally; or the height of the end of the guide rib 334 close to the humidifying element 310 is higher than the height of the end of the guide rib 334 away from the humidifying element 310 to guide the wind downward.
[0086] Furthermore, the plurality of guide ribs 334 are connected by a plurality of spaced connection ribs 335 , and the plurality of connection ribs 335 are spaced in sequence along the length extension direction of the guide ribs 334 , thereby improving the structural stability of the third side wall 333 .
[0087] Of course, the specific number of connecting ribs 335 can be selected according to needs, for example: one, two, three, five, etc., and is not specifically limited here.
[0088] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The toggle member 340 is connected to the upper end of the core frame body 330. Specifically, the toggle member 340 is connected to the uppermost guide rib 334 of the third side wall 333. When the toggle member 340 moves the core frame body 330 to the disassembly position under the action of an external force, the lower end of the core frame body 330 can also be rotated around its upper end to be separated from the bracket 400. Specifically, when the toggle member 340 is driven by an external force to move the core frame body 330 upward to the disassembly position When the humidifier assembly 300 is disassembled, the lower end of the core frame body 330 moves out of the water receiving groove 431, and the guide slope 324 provided at the upper end of the core frame body 330 is slidably matched with the outer wall of the water replenishing groove 420, so that the lower end of the core frame body 330 moves around its upper end in a direction away from the bracket 400, so that the lower end of the core frame body 330 can be separated from the bracket 400, and then the upper end of the core frame body 330 can be separated from the water replenishing groove 420, and the disassembly of the humidifier assembly 300 is completed. Such a setting can improve the disassembly efficiency of the humidifier assembly 300, reduce the disassembly difficulty of the humidifier assembly 300, and improve the user or maintenance personnel's experience of maintaining the humidifier assembly 300.
[0089] Of course, in other embodiments, the toggle member 340 may also be connected to the guide rib 334 located in the middle of the third side wall 333 , or the guide rib 334 located at the lower end of the third side wall 333 , which is not specifically limited herein.
[0090] Optionally, see Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 The bracket 400 is provided with an escape space 401, and the escape space 401 is configured to escape the core frame body 330 that moves between the assembly position and the disassembly position. By setting the escape space 401, on the one hand, it can be ensured that the loading and unloading of the humidification component 300 is not hindered by the bracket 400, that is, the easy operation of loading and unloading of the humidification component 300 is ensured, and on the other hand, the compactness and aesthetics of the structure can be improved.
[0091] Furthermore, the front panel 200 has a lower edge 201 located outside the first air outlet 210, and the bracket 400 further includes a wind shield 440 connected to the bracket body 410. Specifically, the wind shield 440 is connected to the bracket body 410 through the outer wall of the water replenishment groove 420; and the wind shield 440 abuts against the lower edge 201 of the front panel 200, and a avoidance space 401 is formed between the wind shield 440 and the outer wall of the water replenishment groove 420. By setting the wind shield 440, the problem of wind blowing out from the gap between the bracket 400 and the lower edge 201 of the front panel 200 can be improved, thereby increasing the amount of wind blown out from the first air outlet 210, thereby ensuring a more effective humidification effect.
[0092] Furthermore, when the core frame body 330 is located at the disassembly position, both the core frame body 330 and the toggle member 340 abut against the wind shielding rib 440. Specifically, when the core frame body 330 is located at the disassembly position, both the uppermost guide rib 334 and the toggle member 340 abut against the wind shielding rib 440. This arrangement facilitates judging whether the humidifying assembly 300 is switched to the disassembly position by penetrating or sensing whether at least one of the core frame body 330 and the toggle member 340 abuts against the wind shielding rib 440, thereby ensuring the ease of operation of disassembling the humidifying assembly 300.
[0093] Of course, in other embodiments, when the core frame body 330 is located at the disassembly position, one of the core frame body 330 and the toggle member 340 abuts against the wind shielding rib 440 .
[0094] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the bracket 400 may not be provided with the wind shield 440, and when the core frame body 330 is located at the disassembly position, at least one of the core frame body 330 and the toggle member 340 abuts against the lower edge 201. In this way, it is convenient to judge whether the humidification component 300 is switched to the disassembly position by observing or feeling whether at least one of the core frame body 330 and the toggle member 340 abuts against the lower edge 201 of the front panel 200, thereby ensuring the easy operation of disassembling the humidification component 300.
[0095] It should be noted that, in other embodiments, the detachable connection between the humidifying component 300 and the bracket 400 may also be a snap connection or connection with fasteners such as bolts, which is not specifically limited here.
[0096] It should also be noted that the "up" and "down" mentioned in this embodiment refer to relative position directions, and specifically may refer to the "up" and "down" directions relative to the air conditioner 010 itself after the air conditioner 010 is installed on a wall or other installation location.
[0097] The process of disassembling the humidification component 300 of the air conditioner 010 of this embodiment includes: pushing the toggle member 340 to use the toggle member 340 to drive the core frame body 330 and the humidification component 310 to move in the direction close to the lower edge 201 of the front panel 200; when the toggle member 340 and the upper ends of the core frame body 330 abut against the wind shield 440, through the sliding cooperation between the guide slope 324 of the core frame body 330 and the groove wall of the water replenishment groove 420, the lower end of the core frame body 330 moves out of the water receiving groove 431 and moves in the direction away from the bracket 400; then the core frame body 330 and the water replenishment groove 420 are separated to complete the disassembly of the humidification component 300.
[0098] The process of assembling the humidification component 300 of the air conditioner 010 includes: plugging the plug interface 323 of the core frame body 330 into the water replenishment groove 420, then rotating the lower end of the core frame body 330 around its upper end in a direction close to the bracket 400, and then moving the core frame body 330 downward, so that the lower end of the core frame body 330 can be plugged into the water receiving groove 431 to complete the assembly of the humidification component 300.
[0099] In summary, the air conditioner 010 of the utility model detachably assembles the humidifying component 300 on the shell 100, and can maintain and replace the humidifying component 300 that is dirty or damaged during the use of the air conditioner 010, thereby ensuring the convenience of replacing and maintaining the humidifying component 300.
[0100] Although the utility model is disclosed as above, the 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 utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model shall be subject to the scope defined by the claims.
