[0038] The following will introduce in detail the specific structure of a transfer component provided by an embodiment of the present utility model and the corresponding technical effects brought thereby in conjunction with the patent drawings.

[0039] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a transfer component 1. It should be noted that this transfer component 1 is applied to an air conditioner (not shown in the figure), and the air conditioner includes an air conditioner body (not shown in the figure) and a humidification module (not shown in the figure). The humidification module includes a water tank assembly (not shown in the figure) and a wet film assembly (not shown in the figure).

[0040] Among them, the water tank assembly includes a water supply tank (not shown in the figure), a water pump box (not shown in the figure) and the transfer component 1. The wet film assembly includes a wet film and a wet film frame. The wet film is arranged on the wet film frame, and the wet film frame is arranged on the housing of the air conditioner body and near the air outlet of the air conditioner body. Therefore, when the air conditioner blows air, it can cause the evaporation of the water on the wet film, thereby realizing the humidification function of the air conditioner.

[0041] A water pump is arranged in the water pump box, the water pump box is accommodated in the water supply tank, and the water in the water supply tank is pumped into the transfer water tank 100 in the transfer component 1 by the water pump. The water outlet 102 of the transfer water tank 100 is connected to the wet film frame, and the water then flows from the water outlet 102 in the transfer water tank 100 to the wet film frame and replenishes water to the wet film through the wet film frame. It should be noted that the water pump box, the water tank and the transfer component 1 are all arranged on the housing of the air conditioner body.

[0042] In this embodiment, the air conditioner body can be understood as an air conditioner indoor unit.

[0043] A transfer component 1 provided in this embodiment includes a transfer water tank 100 and a metering component 200. The transfer water tank 100 is provided with a water inlet 101 and a water outlet 102. The water inlet 101 is used to be connected to the water supply tank, and the water outlet 102 is used to be connected to the wet film component. The metering component 200 is arranged on the transfer water tank 100. When the water level in the transfer water tank 100 exceeds the preset water level, the metering component 200 is used to discharge the water in the transfer water tank 100 from the water outlet 102.

[0044] It can be understood that through the setting of the metering component 200, as long as the water in the transfer water tank 100 does not exceed the preset water level, the metering component 200 can discharge the water in the transfer water tank 100 from the water outlet 102 to the wet film component, ensuring the control accuracy of the water output of the water tank component in the humidification module.

[0045] Specifically, in this embodiment, the metering assembly 200 includes a water level pipe 210 and a sleeve 220. The water level pipe 210 has opposite first and second ends 211 and 212. The first end 211 penetrates through the bottom wall of the transfer water tank 100 to form a water outlet 102, and the second end 212 is located inside the transfer water tank 100 and is flush with a preset water level. The sleeve 220 is sleeved on the water level pipe 210. The sleeve 220 has opposite closed and open ends 221 and 222. The closed end 221 is opposite to the second end 212 and has a preset distance. An outlet channel 230 communicating with the transfer water tank 100 is formed between the inner wall of the sleeve 220 and the outer wall of the water level pipe 210. It can be understood that the outlet channel 230 has one end close to the closed end 221 and the other end close to the bottom wall of the transfer water tank 100, and the water level at the end of the outlet channel 230 close to the bottom wall of the transfer water tank 100 is higher than the water level at the first end 211. The outlet channel 230 is also communicated with the water level pipe 210. Therefore, when the water in the transfer water tank 100 exceeds the second end 212 of the water level pipe 210, the outlet channel 230 is filled with water at this time and flows into the water level pipe 210. Due to the siphon principle, the water in the transfer water tank 100 will flow out through the first end 211 of the water level pipe 210.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, in order to facilitate water discharge, the height difference between the first end 211 and the end of the outlet channel 230 close to the transfer water tank 100 is such that the first end 211 extends out of the transfer water tank 100 and has a certain distance from the outer wall of the wall plate of the transfer water tank 100.

[0047] Specifically, in this embodiment, a plurality of abutting plates are provided on the outer wall of the sleeve 220. The side of the abutting plate away from the outer peripheral wall of the sleeve 220 is used to abut against the inner side wall of the transfer water tank 100. The bottom wall of the abutting plate abuts against the bottom wall of the transfer water tank 100 and is provided with water passing holes. Specifically, a plurality of protrusions 260 abutting against the bottom wall of the transfer water tank 100 are provided on the bottom wall of the abutting plate. The plurality of abutting plates are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the sleeve 220, and water passing holes for water flow are formed between the plurality of protrusions 260. It can be understood that under the action of the plurality of abutting plates, the sleeve 220 is ensured to be assembled in place.

[0048] In this embodiment, the sleeve 220 and the water level pipe 210 are coaxial, that is to say, the distance between the inner peripheral wall of the sleeve 220 and the outer peripheral wall of the water level pipe 210 is equal. When the water in the transfer water tank 100 exceeds the preset water level, the water can flow into the water level pipe 210 from the outlet channel 230 better.

[0049] It should be noted that the coaxiality in this embodiment is not limited to strict coaxiality in the strict sense, and it is sufficient as long as it is roughly coaxial.

[0050] The transfer water tank 100 includes a bottom plate 110 and four side plates 120 sequentially connected end to end along the circumference of the bottom plate 110. The number of abutting plates is four, and the four abutting plates are respectively abutted against the four side plates 120. Specifically, by respectively abutting the four abutting plates against the side plates 120 of the four transfer water tanks 100, the coaxiality of the sleeve 220 and the water level pipe 210 can be effectively ensured.

[0051] Optionally, the four abutting plates are grouped in pairs, and the two groups of abutting plates are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the sleeve 220. One of the two groups includes two first abutting plates 240, and the other group of the two groups includes two second abutting plates 250. The height dimension of the first abutting plate 240 is smaller than the height dimension of the second abutting plate 250. The water inlet 101 is arranged on the side plate 120 and is located between the first abutting plate 240 and the second abutting plate 250 or the water inlet 101 is located between the two first abutting plates 240. Specifically, since the water inlet 101 is located between the first abutting plate 240 and the second abutting plate 250 or the water inlet 101 is located between the two first abutting plates 240, it is convenient for the water entering the transfer water tank 100 to flow between the multiple abutting plates as soon as possible.

[0052] Specifically, the metering assembly further includes a mounting member connected to the abutting plate, and the mounting member is used for detachably connecting with the water level sensor 300.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the mounting member is arranged between the two second abutting plates 250 and is connected to the two second abutting plates 250. The mounting member includes an end plate 270. The end plate 270 is arranged between the two second abutting plates 250 and is simultaneously connected to the two second abutting plates 250. The end plate 270 is opposite to the bottom wall of the transfer water tank 100. The two second abutting plates 250 are both provided with water through holes. That is to say, water can enter the space enclosed by the two abutting plates, the end plate 270 and the transfer water tank 100 through the water through holes.

[0054] Specifically, in order to facilitate the installation of the second abutting plate 250 and the transfer water tank 100, a plurality of card slots 121 arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the transfer water tank 100 are provided on the inner side wall of the transfer water tank 100, and the card slots 121 extend along the axial direction of the transfer water tank 100. Each card slot 121 is inserted with an abutting plate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the number of the card slots 121 is two, and the two card slots 121 are respectively inserted with the two second abutting plates 250. Specifically, the two card slots 121 are respectively arranged on two adjacent side plates 120. The assembly efficiency of the sleeve 220 and the transfer water tank 100 can be improved, and the assembly efficiency of the water level sensor 300 and the end plate 270 can also be improved.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, each card slot 121 is formed by two convex blocks protruding from the inner side wall of the transfer water tank 100.

[0056] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second abutting plate 250, the first abutting plate 240, the sleeve 220 and the end plate 270 form an integral structure. That is, when the two second abutting plates 250 are respectively inserted into the two card slots 121, the assembly of the sleeve 220 is completed, improving the assembly efficiency of the sleeve 220.

[0057] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the positioning and assembly of the water level sensor 300, the end plate 270 is provided with a first positioning portion 271, and the end plate 270 is also provided with a through hole for the water level sensor 300 to pass through.

[0058] The transfer assembly 1 further includes a water level sensor 300 disposed in the transfer water tank 100, and the water level sensor 300 is used for communication connection with a water pump in the water supply tank. It is convenient to control the water pump to supply water into the transfer water tank 100 according to the water level condition of the transfer water tank 100. Specifically, the water level sensor 300 is provided with a second positioning portion 310 that cooperates with the first abutting portion.

[0059] In this embodiment, both the first positioning portion 271 and the second positioning portion 310 are mating holes. When the fastener sequentially passes through the first positioning portion 271 and the second positioning portion 310, the assembly of the water level sensor 300 and the end plate 270 can be realized.

[0060] It should be noted that the fastener can also be a plug or a threaded fastener. When the fastener is a threaded fastener, the first positioning portion 271 is a threaded hole, and the second positioning portion 310 is a through hole.

[0061] Optionally, in some embodiments, the first positioning portion 271 can be a positioning post, and the second positioning portion 310 can be a positioning hole, or the first positioning portion 271 can be a positioning hole, and the second positioning portion 310 can be a positioning post.

[0062] The detection end of the water level sensor 300 is flush with the preset water level. That is to say, the detection end of the water level sensor 300 is flush with the second end 212 of the water level pipe 210. Therefore, since the detection end of the water level sensor 300 is flush with the preset water level, it can timely detect whether the water in the transfer water tank 100 reaches the preset water level.

[0063] Of course, in some other embodiments, the detection end of the water level sensor 300 may not be flush with the preset water level, and it may also be disposed at other positions of the transfer water tank 100 to be used for detecting the height of the water level in the transfer water tank 100.
