[0045] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0046] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0047] Combine Figure 1-9 As shown, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a humidifying device 10 for an air conditioner. The humidifying device 10 includes a water storage tank 20 and a first pipe.

[0048] The water storage tank body 20 is constructed with a water storage chamber 21, and the water storage tank body 20 is provided with a first water outlet 22 communicating with the water storage chamber 21. The water storage tank body 20 is suitable for being installed in the outdoor unit 50 of the air conditioner; the first pipe is communicated with the first water outlet 22, and the first pipe is suitable for connecting the water storage chamber 21 with the indoor area to humidify the indoor area.

[0049] Using the humidifying device 10 for an air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, the water storage chamber 21 of the water storage tank body 10 is connected to the first pipe through the first water outlet 22, so that the water in the water storage chamber 21 can be used for indoor humidification. By arranging the water storage tank body 20 in the outdoor unit 50 of the air conditioner, an outdoor water storage area is provided for the humidifying device. The outdoor water storage area has a larger space, so that the water storage tank body 20 can effectively store more water, thereby significantly improving the humidification efficiency and humidification amount. At the same time, placing the water storage tank body 20 outdoors can also reduce the indoor space occupied. In addition, the air conditioner can also use water sources in the outdoor environment, such as rainwater and moisture in the air, to increase the indoor humidity.

[0050] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the humidifying device 10 for an air conditioner further includes a purification device 40, which is disposed in the water storage chamber 21 to separate the water storage chamber 21 into a first water storage chamber 211 and a second water storage chamber 212. The water in the first water storage chamber 211 is purified by the purification device 40 and then enters the second water storage chamber 212, and the first water outlet 22 is communicated with the second water storage chamber 212.

[0051] By installing a purification device 40 within the water storage chamber 21, the water within the water storage chamber 21 is purified, resulting in pure humidified water. The purification device 40 can separate the water storage chamber 21 into a first water storage chamber 211 and a second water storage chamber 212, allowing the water within the first water storage chamber 211 to enter the second water storage chamber 212 after being purified by the purification device 40. The first water outlet 22 communicates with the second water storage chamber 212, allowing the purified water to be smoothly transported to the indoor area for humidification. The water first enters the first water storage chamber 211, is purified by the purification device 40, and then enters the second water storage chamber 212. The purified water within the second water storage chamber 212 flows into the first pipe through the first water outlet 22 and is then transported to the indoor area for humidification.

[0052] Optionally, combined Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, the water storage tank body 20 is vertically arranged, the first water storage chamber 211 is located on the upper side of the purification device 40, and the second water storage chamber 212 is located on the lower side of the purification device 40.

[0053] The vertically positioned water storage tank 20 allows water to flow naturally from the first water storage chamber 211 to the second water storage chamber 212. This process eliminates the need for additional pumping or forced flow, reducing energy consumption and system complexity. Because the first water storage chamber 211 is located above the purification device 40, water flowing through the purification device 40 under the influence of gravity can more fully contact the purification materials, thereby improving purification efficiency. Furthermore, the vertically positioned water storage tank 20 is more compact in layout, reducing floor space usage.

[0054] Optionally, the purification device 40 is provided with a RO reverse osmosis membrane.

[0055] RO reverse osmosis membranes have extremely small pores and can effectively remove harmful substances such as bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and organic matter from water. Purification device 40 utilizes RO reverse osmosis membranes, effectively improving the purity of the water within water storage chamber 21. This high-precision filtration enhances the air conditioner's humidification performance and air quality.

[0056] Optionally, combined Figure 2-4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the water storage box 20 is provided with a first drain outlet 24 corresponding to the first water storage chamber 211 , and the humidifying device 10 further includes a first drain device 41 , which is provided at the first drain outlet 24 and can open or close the first drain outlet 24 .

[0057] By providing a first drain port 24 in the water storage tank 20, excess water in the first water storage chamber 211 can be drained. A first drain device 41 is provided corresponding to the first drain port 24. The first drain device 41 can open or close the first drain port 24 as needed to control the drainage of the first water storage chamber 211. This prevents overflow when the water level in the first water storage chamber 211 is too high and allows the water in the first water storage chamber 211 to be drained during maintenance or cleaning.

[0058] Optionally, combined Figure 2-4 and Figure 8 As shown, the first drain outlet is arranged below the first water storage chamber.

[0059] The first drain outlet is located below the first water storage chamber, allowing water in the first water storage chamber to be drained smoothly when needed, improving drainage efficiency. Providing the first drain outlet below the first water storage chamber also reduces water accumulation at the bottom of the first water storage chamber. The first drain outlet can be located on the side wall of the water storage box corresponding to the first water storage chamber.

[0060] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first drainage device 41 includes a first valve 411, a first transmission member 413 and a first driving member 412. The first transmission member 413 is driven and connected to the first valve 411 and the first driving member 412. The first driving member 412 drives the first transmission member 413 to move to drive the first valve 411 to open or close the first drainage port 24.

[0061] The first driver 412 drives the first transmission member 413 to move, thereby driving the first valve 411 to open or close the first drain outlet 24. This allows precise control over the opening and closing of the first drain outlet 24. When the first water storage chamber 211 needs to drain, the first driver 412 drives the first transmission member 413 to move, thereby driving the first valve 411 to open the first drain outlet 24. When the first water storage chamber 211 needs to stop draining, the first driver 412 drives the first transmission member 413 to move, causing the first valve 411 to close the first drain outlet 24. The first driver 412 can be a first motor.

[0062] Optionally, combined Figure 6 As shown, the first transmission member 413 includes a first crank 414 .

[0063] The first crank 414 can convert the rotational motion of the first driving member 412 into linear motion, thereby more directly controlling the opening and closing of the first valve 411. This can simplify the transmission structure, reduce energy loss, and improve driving efficiency.

[0064] Illustratively, when the water level in the first water storage chamber 211 reaches 90%, the first motor drives the first crank 414 to move, driving the first valve 411 to open the first drain outlet 24, and draining the excess water in the first water storage chamber 211 until the water level reaches 50%, and then the first motor drives the first crank 414 to move, driving the first valve 411 to close the first drain outlet 24.

[0065] Optionally, combined Figure 2-4 、 Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the water storage box 20 is provided with a second drain outlet 25 corresponding to the second water storage chamber 212 , and the humidifying device 10 further includes a second drain device 42 , which is provided at the second drain outlet 25 and can open or close the second drain outlet 25 .

[0066] By providing a second drain port 25 in the water storage tank 20, excess water in the second water storage chamber 212 can be drained. A second drain device 42 is provided corresponding to the second drain port 25. The second drain device 42 can open or close the second drain port 25 as needed to control the drainage of the second water storage chamber 212. This prevents overflow when the water level in the second water storage chamber 212 is too high and allows water in the second water storage chamber 212 to be drained during maintenance or cleaning. The second drain port can be provided on the side wall of the water storage tank corresponding to the second water storage chamber.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 4 As shown, the second drain port 25 is provided below the second water storage chamber 212 .

[0068] The second drain port is provided below the second water storage chamber, so that the purified water in the second water storage chamber can be discharged smoothly when needed, thereby improving the discharge efficiency of the purified water. By providing the second drain port below the second water storage chamber, water accumulation at the bottom of the second water storage chamber can also be reduced.

[0069] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the second drainage device 42 includes a second valve 421, a second transmission member 423 and a second drive member 422. The second transmission member 423 is driven and connected to the second valve 421 and the second drive member 422. The second drive member 422 drives the second transmission member 423 to move to drive the second valve 421 to open or close the second drainage port 25.

[0070] The second driver 422 drives the second transmission member 423 to move, thereby driving the second valve 421 to open or close the second drain outlet 25. This allows precise control over the opening and closing of the second drain outlet 25. When the second water storage chamber 212 needs to drain, the second driver 422 drives the second transmission member 423 to move, thereby driving the second valve 421 to open the second drain outlet 25. When the second water storage chamber 212 needs to stop draining, the second driver 422 drives the second transmission member 423 to move, causing the second valve 421 to close the second drain outlet 25. The second driver 422 can be a second motor.

[0071] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the second transmission member 423 includes a second crank 424 .

[0072] The second crank 424 can convert the rotational motion of the second driving member 422 into linear motion, thereby more directly controlling the opening and closing of the second valve 421. This can simplify the transmission structure, reduce energy loss, and improve driving efficiency.

[0073] For example, when the water level in the second water storage chamber 212 reaches 90%, the second motor drives the second crank 424 to move, driving the second valve 421 to open the second drain outlet 25, and draining the excess water in the second water storage chamber 212 until the water level reaches 50%, and then the second motor drives the second crank 424 to move, driving the second valve 421 to close the second drain outlet 25.

[0074] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the water storage tank body 20 is also provided with a first water inlet 26, which is communicated with the water storage chamber 21, and the condensed water of the air conditioner can enter the water storage chamber 21 through the first water inlet 26. When the water storage chamber 21 includes a first water storage chamber 211 and a second water storage chamber 212, the first water inlet 26 is communicated with the first water storage chamber 211, and the condensed water of the air conditioner can enter the first water storage chamber 211 through the first water inlet 26.

[0075] The humidifying device 10 provided in the embodiment of the present disclosure is capable of receiving condensed water from an air conditioner, and the condensed water from the air conditioner can be introduced into the water storage chamber 21 through the first water inlet 26. In this way, the condensed water of the air conditioner itself can be used for humidification, thereby realizing the recycling of water resources and also realizing waterless humidification of the air conditioner. In the case where the water storage chamber 21 includes a first water storage chamber 211 and a second water storage chamber 212, the first water inlet 26 is connected to the first water storage chamber 211, and the condensed water from the air conditioner enters the first water storage chamber 211 through the first water inlet 26. After being purified by the purification device 40, the condensed water flows into the second water storage chamber 212. After the purified water enters the first pipe through the first water outlet 22, it can be used to humidify the indoor area.

[0076] Optionally, combined Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the water storage tank body 20 is also provided with a second water inlet 27, which is communicated with the water storage chamber 21 and is used to receive moisture in rainwater and outdoor air. When the water storage chamber 21 includes a first water storage chamber 211 and a second water storage chamber 212, the second water inlet 27 is communicated with the first water storage chamber 211, and moisture in rainwater and outdoor air can enter the first water storage chamber 211 through the second water inlet 27.

[0077] Moisture in the outdoor air and rainwater can enter the water storage chamber 21 through the second water inlet, and the humidifying device 10 can use the moisture in the outdoor air and rainwater for humidification, thereby achieving waterless humidification of the air conditioner. By using rainwater and moisture in the outdoor air as a humidification water source, it is possible to reduce dependence on traditional water sources such as tap water, improve the utilization rate of water resources, and reduce the operating costs of the air conditioning system. In the case where the water storage chamber 21 includes a first water storage chamber 211 and a second water storage chamber 212, the second water inlet 27 is connected to the first water storage chamber 211, and rainwater and moisture in the outdoor air enter the first water storage chamber 211 through the second water inlet 27. After being purified by the purification device 40, the rainwater and moisture in the outdoor air flow into the second water storage chamber 212. After the purified water enters the first pipe through the first water outlet 22, it can be used to humidify the indoor area.

[0078] Optionally, combined Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, when the water storage tank 20 is provided with a second water inlet 27 , the humidifying device 10 further includes a filter 43 , and the filter 43 is covered at the second water inlet 27 .

[0079] By setting a filter screen 43 at the second water inlet 27, debris and pollutants can be prevented from entering the water storage chamber 21, which can improve the cleanliness of the water source. At the same time, it can also prevent debris from entering the water storage chamber 21 and forming blockage to affect the normal operation of the humidifier 10.

[0080] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the second water inlet 27 is opened above the first water storage chamber 211 , and the filter screen 43 is opened above the first water storage chamber 211 .

[0081] The second water inlet 27 is located above the first water storage chamber 211, allowing rainwater and moisture from the outdoor air to flow directly into the water storage chamber 21, simplifying the collection process and improving water collection efficiency. The second water inlet 27 and filter 43 are located above the first water storage chamber 211, filtering water as it enters the water storage chamber 21, effectively removing impurities and contaminants and ensuring the cleanliness of the humidification water source.

[0082] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, when the water storage tank 20 is provided with a second water inlet 27, the humidifying device 10 further includes a semiconductor refrigerator 44, which is provided in the water storage chamber 21 near the second water inlet 27 for cooling outdoor air to form condensed water.

[0083] By placing a semiconductor cooler 44 near the second water inlet 27 in the water storage chamber 21, outdoor air can be cooled to form condensed water, thereby improving the efficiency of collecting moisture from the air. The semiconductor cooler 44 can quickly cool water vapor in the air to below the dew point, causing the water vapor to condense into liquid water. This direct condensation process improves water collection efficiency and reduces energy consumption.

[0084] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the semiconductor cooler 44 includes a first semiconductor cooling plate 441 and a second semiconductor cooling plate 442. The first semiconductor cooling plate 441 and the second semiconductor cooling plate 442 are arranged opposite to each other along the radial direction of the water storage chamber 21, and a gap is left between the first semiconductor cooling plate 441 and the second semiconductor cooling plate 442.

[0085] The radial direction of the water storage chamber 21 is as follows: Figure 8 Indicated by the arrow direction.

[0086] The provision of the first semiconductor cooling plate 441 and the second semiconductor cooling plate 442 effectively cools the air to form condensed water. The first and second semiconductor cooling plates 441, 442 are arranged radially opposite each other along the water storage chamber 21, enabling sufficient contact and heat exchange with the air at the second water inlet 27. The cooled condensed water can flow into the water storage chamber 21 through the gap between the first and second semiconductor cooling plates 441, 442. Furthermore, the gap between the first and second semiconductor cooling plates 441, 442 prevents rainwater from entering the water storage chamber 21 through the second water inlet 27.

[0087] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, one end of the first semiconductor cooling plate 441 is provided on the water storage tank body 20, and the first semiconductor cooling plate 441 is inclined along the second water inlet 27 toward the water storage chamber 21; and / or, one end of the second semiconductor cooling plate 442 is provided on the water storage tank body 20, and the second semiconductor cooling plate 442 is inclined along the second water inlet 27 toward the water storage chamber 21.

[0088] After heat exchange with the first semiconductor cooling plate 441, the air is cooled to form condensed water. The first semiconductor cooling plate 441 is tilted along the second water inlet 27 toward the water storage chamber 21, effectively guiding the condensed water into the water storage chamber 21 along the tilt of the first semiconductor cooling plate 441, thereby improving the efficiency of collecting moisture from the air. After heat exchange with the second semiconductor cooling plate 442, the air is cooled to form condensed water. The second semiconductor cooling plate 442 is tilted along the second water inlet 27 toward the water storage chamber 21, effectively guiding the condensed water into the water storage chamber 21 along the tilt of the second semiconductor cooling plate 442, thereby improving the efficiency of collecting moisture from the air.

[0089] Optionally, the air conditioner includes an outdoor unit 50 condenser, and the humidifying device 10 also includes a second pipe 28, one end of the second pipe 28 is connected to the water storage chamber 21, and the other end of the second pipe 28 is provided with a second water outlet 23, which is suitable for being set corresponding to the outdoor unit 50 condenser.

[0090] By providing a second pipe 28 and a second water outlet 23, and positioning the second water outlet 23 opposite the condenser of the outdoor unit 50, water within the water storage chamber 21 can be delivered to the vicinity of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50. This utilizes the latent heat of evaporation of the water to lower the temperature of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50 and the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser, thereby enhancing the operating efficiency of the air conditioner. This also humidifies the outdoor environment and allows for cleaning of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50.

[0091] When the humidifier 10 includes a purifier 40, the purified water is used to cool the condenser of the outdoor unit 50 after purification, thus preventing corrosion to the outdoor unit 50 caused by the condenser temperature reduction. Water first enters the first water storage chamber 211, is purified by the purifier 40, and then enters the second water storage chamber 212. The purified water in the second water storage chamber 212 enters the second pipe 28 and then flows through the second water outlet 23 to cool and clean the condenser of the outdoor unit 50.

[0092] Optionally, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple second pipes 28 , each of which extends along the length of the water storage tank 20 , and the multiple second pipes 28 are sequentially arranged along the width of the water storage tank 20 .

[0093] The width direction of the water storage tank body 20 is as follows Figure 6 Indicated by the arrow direction.

[0094] The multiple second pipes 28 increase the amount of water used to cool the condenser of the outdoor unit 50. These pipes are arranged sequentially along the width of the water storage tank 20, and each pipe 28 is equipped with a second water outlet 23. This allows the humidification water to be more evenly distributed across the entire width of the water storage tank 20. This effectively enhances the cooling effect, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50. Furthermore, when the second pipes 28 are located within the water storage tank 20, they extend along the length of the water storage tank 20. The multiple second pipes 28 are arranged sequentially along the width of the water storage tank 20, effectively utilizing the internal space of the water storage tank 20 and improving space utilization.

[0095] Optionally, combined Figure 3 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6and Figure 8 As shown, there are multiple second water outlets 23 , and the multiple second water outlets 23 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the water storage tank body 20 .

[0096] The length direction of the water storage tank body 20 is as follows Figure 5 Indicated by the arrow direction.

[0097] By providing multiple second water outlets 23 on the second pipe 28 and spacing them along the length of the water storage tank 20, each second water outlet 23 is suitably positioned opposite the condenser of the outdoor unit 50. This allows for more uniform water delivery to different parts of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50. By spacing the multiple second water outlets 23 along the length of the water storage tank 20, each part of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50 receives sufficient water cooling, thereby improving cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the spacing of the multiple second water outlets 23 along the length of the water storage tank 20 ensures that the water in the second pipe 28 along the length of the water storage tank 20 is effectively utilized.

[0098] Optionally, combined Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are multiple second pipes 28, and the second pipes 28 extend along the length direction of the water storage tank body 20. The multiple second pipes 28 are arranged in sequence along the width direction of the water storage tank body 20. Each second pipe 28 is provided with multiple second water outlets 23, and the multiple second water outlets 23 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the water storage tank body 20.

[0099] The humidifier device 10 provided in the disclosed embodiment includes multiple second pipes 28, which are arranged sequentially along the width of the water storage tank 20. Each second pipe 28 extends along the length of the water storage tank 20, and each second pipe 28 is provided with multiple second water outlets 23. The multiple second water outlets 23 are arranged at intervals along the length of the water storage tank 20, that is, the multiple second water outlets 23 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second pipes 28. This creates an array of multiple second water outlets 23 along the length and width of the water storage tank, enabling more comprehensive and uniform spraying of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50, thereby more effectively reducing the temperature of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50 and improving cooling efficiency.

[0100] Optionally, the humidifying device 10 for the air conditioner further includes a first atomizing device, which is connected to the first pipe and is used to atomize water in the first pipe.

[0101] By providing a first atomizing device connected to the first pipe, the water in the first pipe can be atomized, thereby more effectively increasing the indoor humidity. This can improve the humidification efficiency and also improve the indoor air quality.

[0102] Optionally, the first atomizing device includes a first ultrasonic atomizing head.

[0103] After the humidification water source is transported to the room through the first pipe, it can be more effectively humidified and atomized through the first ultrasonic atomizing head, thereby realizing waterless humidification of the air conditioner.

[0104] Optionally, combined Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6-8 As shown, the humidifying device 10 for the air conditioner further includes a second atomizing device 46 . The second atomizing device 46 is disposed at the second water outlet 23 and is used to atomize the water in the second pipe 28 .

[0105] By providing a second atomizing device 46 at the second water outlet 23, the water in the second pipe 28 can be atomized, thereby effectively spraying the condenser of the outdoor unit 50. The atomized water can evenly cover the outside of the condenser of the outdoor unit 50, more effectively cooling the condenser of the outdoor unit 50, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser.

[0106] Optionally, the second atomizing device 46 includes a second ultrasonic atomizing head.

[0107] Atomizing the water in the second pipe 28 by the second ultrasonic atomizing head can effectively increase the surface area of ​​the water, thereby increasing the evaporation rate of the water. This can more effectively cool the condenser of the outdoor unit 50 and improve the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0108] Optionally, the second atomizing device 46 includes a plurality of second ultrasonic atomizing heads, and the plurality of second ultrasonic atomizing heads correspond one-to-one to the plurality of second water outlets 23 .

[0109] The plurality of second ultrasonic atomizing heads correspond one-to-one with the plurality of second water outlets 23, enabling the water in the second pipe 28 to be sprayed through the plurality of water outlets, thereby improving the spray cooling effect of the humidifier 10. It is understood that the plurality of second water outlets 23 may also correspond to one second atomizing device 46.

[0110] Optionally, combined Figure 8 As shown, the humidifying device 10 for the air conditioner also includes a booster water pump 47, which is arranged in the water storage tank 20, the suction port of the booster water pump 47 is connected to the water storage chamber 21, and the pressure outlet of the booster water pump 47 is connected to the first pipe and / or the second pipe 28.

[0111] The booster pump 47 provides additional pressure, allowing water to be more efficiently delivered from the water storage chamber 21 to the first and / or second pipes 28, thereby improving water delivery efficiency. This allows the air conditioner to effectively humidify even when water is not available. When water is delivered to the first and / or second atomizing devices 46, the pressure provided by the booster pump 47 also ensures a more detailed and uniform atomization.

[0112] Optionally, a water inlet is provided at the bottom of the second pipe 28 .

[0113] The water inlet at the bottom of the second pipe 28 can be provided to absorb water from the lower position of the water storage chamber 21, so that the water in the water storage chamber 21 can be utilized as much as possible, the residual water volume can be reduced, and the utilization rate of water resources can be improved.

[0114] Optionally, the water storage tank body 20 is arranged vertically, the first water storage chamber 211 is located on the upper side of the purification device 40, the second water storage chamber 212 is located on the lower side of the purification device 40, the second pipe 28 extends along the length direction of the water storage tank body 20, and a water inlet is provided below the second pipe 28.

[0115] When the water storage tank 20 is positioned vertically, its length aligns with the vertical direction, meaning that the second conduit 28 extends vertically. A water inlet is provided below the second conduit 28, through which purified water within the second water storage chamber 212 flows into the second conduit 28. This allows for efficient use of the purified water, improving water resource utilization.

[0118] Optionally, the humidifying device 10 is arranged outside the outdoor unit 50, and the outdoor unit 50 and the humidifying device 10 are arranged separately.

[0119] The outdoor unit 50 and humidifier 10 are separate components, allowing them to be independently installed and maintained as needed. This separate design eliminates the need for a separate outdoor unit 50 for the humidifier 10, improving the adaptability of the humidifier 10 and reducing costs. The humidifier 10 is located outside the outdoor unit, adjacent to the outdoor unit 50, enhancing its cooling spray effect on the condenser of the outdoor unit 50.

Placing the first atomizing device within the indoor unit effectively utilizes the space within the indoor unit, reducing the equipment's footprint and making the overall design more compact and aesthetically pleasing.

[0124] The disclosed embodiment provides an air conditioner with indoor waterless humidification capability and improved working efficiency of the outdoor unit condenser.
