Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air purifier technology, specifically, to an air purifying and humidifying filter assembly, an air humidifying and purifying device, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air humidifiers and air purifiers are developing rapidly because they can both filter and humidify the air. A typical structure of an air humidifier and air purifier generally includes a rotating water-spraying body and an air filter surrounding it. The basic principle of air purification is that the rotating water-spraying body rotates around its axis, using centrifugal force to throw water from the body through a water-spraying channel, forming a water curtain to purify the air flowing by. Due to the rotating water-spraying body, air humidifiers have a relatively complex structure and are quite noisy.

[0003] The invention patent application with publication number CN116558031A discloses an air purification and humidification filter assembly, an air humidifier and air conditioner, wherein at least part of the airflow entering the filter duct from the air inlet can bypass the hollow fiber membrane and flow to the air outlet after contacting the outer surface of the hollow fiber membrane. One end of the hollow fiber membrane is exposed to the mounting bracket, and the flowing air will contact the water film to purify and humidify the air.

[0004] The inventors discovered that this type of filter element has a problem with hollow fiber membrane clogging when water is recycled. Long-term use leads to the formation of an uneven water film, which reduces the air filtration efficiency when air passes through the filter element, indicating room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] One of the purposes of this invention is to design an air purification and humidification filter assembly, an air humidifier and purifier, and an air conditioner to solve the problem that the water guiding component cannot form a uniform water film.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] This utility model provides an air purification and humidification filter assembly, including a mounting frame, solid wires, and water holes. The mounting frame includes a top bracket and a bottom bracket. The top bracket has a water tank with water holes, and the bottom bracket has a water return chamber. The solid wires pass through the inner holes of the water holes in the top bracket and connect to the bottom bracket, forming a layer of cross-connected solid wire filter wall. The water holes are located on the bottom wall of the water tank, and the inner and outer holes are connected by connecting pieces to form gaps for water to flow into the solid wires. Water in the water tank flows into the solid wires through the gaps and flows back to the water chamber along the solid wires to form a water film. At least part of the airflow entering the filter duct through the air inlet, after contacting the solid wire filter element, flows around the solid wire filter element along the guide of the filter duct and flows to the air outlet.

[0008] When using the above-described structure, the mounting bracket connects the solid wires to form the simplest filter cartridge assembly. In use, this type of air humidifier filter cartridge allows water to flow from the outer surface of the solid wires into the return water chamber. Because the solid wires are fine filaments, the water flows along them, forming a uniform water film. This water film on the surface of the solid wires automatically carries away captured particles and other impurities. These impurities flow into the water tank with the water, achieving a self-cleaning effect and extending the service life of the solid wire filter cartridge to maintain good filtration efficiency over a long period.

[0015] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: all the solid wires form a row or multiple rows of filter walls arranged sequentially along the guide of the filter duct, or form a ring or multiple rings of filter walls nested in sequence; the filter walls are placed horizontally in the filter duct, and ventilation gaps are formed between adjacent solid wires in the filter walls; all the solid wires in the filter walls are arranged sequentially in a combination of one or more of the following line types: straight line, curve, and broken line; in the filter walls, all the solid wires are arranged sequentially around the air outlet located in the middle of the annular top support, and ventilation gaps are formed between adjacent solid wires.

[0016] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: when all the solid wires form multiple layers of the filter wall, the filter walls of each layer are coaxially arranged.

[0017] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the top of the top support is provided with an open water tank, and the solid wire is positioned flush with the bottom of the water tank to communicate with it. With the above structure, multiple water tanks on the top of the top support can simultaneously supply water to multiple solid wires, allowing multiple solid wires to establish a connection with the water source simultaneously in a simple structure.

[0018] To further improve the present invention, the following structure is adopted: a top cover is connected to the opening of the water tank to form a water inlet cavity, and the cavity wall of the water inlet cavity is provided with a water inlet for connecting a water source.

[0019] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the water inlet is connected to a water inlet pipe for connecting to a water source, and the water inlet pipe is connected to a water pump.

[0020] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the solid wire is a fine wire of metal or non-metal, preferably a solid metal wire.

[0022] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: a water return chamber is provided inside the bottom support, and the solid wires are connected to the water return chamber. With the above structure, allowing the solid wires to pass through the water return chamber allows multiple solid wires to be connected through the upper inner hole of the water return chamber, making the thickness and flow speed of the water film generated on each solid wire more consistent, and making the air filtration effect of each part of the filter wall composed of solid wires more consistent.

[0023] To further improve the realization of this utility model, the following structure is specifically adopted: the bottom support is provided with a drain outlet that communicates with the return water chamber, and the drain outlet is connected to the water tank.

[0028] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0029] In this invention, the air purification and humidification filter assembly allows water to enter through the water holes at the bottom of the water tank onto the surface of the solid wires. Sufficient water volume ensures that the water in the holes flows evenly onto the outer surface of the solid wires, forming a uniform water film. This water film on the outer surface of the solid wires automatically carries away captured particles and other impurities. These impurities flow into the water tank with the water, achieving a self-cleaning effect. This extends the service life of the solid wire filter, maintaining good filtration efficiency over a long period, increasing humidification capacity, and improving customer satisfaction.

[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be described in detail below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other implementation methods obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0057] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more; the terms "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "inner," "outer," "front end," "rear end," "head," "tail," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0058] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0059] To address some of the problems in the prior art mentioned in the background section, it is necessary to ensure that the water film formed on the component used to form the water film is highly uniform. If the existing water guide is to be used to allow water to spread evenly from the outside of the water guide to form a water film, one approach is to create more and denser ridges or other shaped protrusions on the surface of the water guide to disrupt the surface tension of the water. However, this would further increase costs and would also prevent the water guide from being made sufficiently thin.

[0060] In solving the problem, the inventors noticed solid filaments, a common and easily woven material. Its most significant characteristic is its ability to trap airborne particles and other impurities. Some air purifiers also use solid filaments as filter elements, allowing airflow to pass through the outer layer of the filaments. The multi-layered structure of the solid filaments traps these particles. However, the filtration method described in the patent application CN116558031A is prone to clogging the hollow fiber membrane layer, failing to maintain the filtration efficiency of the solid filaments for long periods and requiring frequent replacement. Therefore, it has not been widely and effectively applied in the air filter field. The inventors discovered that people seem unaware that filters formed from solid filaments can be washed with water, nor that this ability allows water to form a uniform and dense film on the outer surface of the filaments to filter and humidify the air. Pollutants flow along the smooth filaments into the water tank, achieving a self-cleaning function and enabling long-term use, thus providing customers with greater comfort.

[0061] Therefore, through long-term exploration, repeated experiments and design trials, the inventors obtained the air purification and humidification filter element assembly mentioned in this utility model, and provided a solution for an air humidifier and purifier equipped with the air purification and humidification filter element assembly, as well as a solution for an air conditioner equipped with the air humidifier and purifier.

[0062] Example 1:

[0063] An air purification and humidification filter element assembly can form a uniform water film and has good filtration efficiency, such as... Figures 2-9 As shown, it is specifically configured with the following structure:

[0064] In this embodiment, the general structure of the air purification and humidification filter assembly includes a mounting bracket for mounting solid wire 1 and solid wire 1. The end of solid wire 1 is fixed to the mounting bracket through the inner hole 2b-1 of the water hole 2b at the bottom of the water tank 2a or by other means. The mounting bracket is used to install onto the housing or other components of the air purifier so that solid wire 1 can be used in the air purifier.

[0065] The mounting bracket provides a filter duct and an air inlet and outlet connected through the filter duct. If a fan is installed at the outlet, the fan can allow air from outside the mounting bracket to pass through its air inlet, then through the filter duct, and out of the outlet. The solid wire 1 is located in the filter duct, which can impede the airflow within the filter duct. Therefore, the airflow entering the filter duct from the air inlet will come into contact with the outer surface of the solid wire 1 as it moves along the guide direction of the filter duct, and after contact, it will brush past the outer surface of the solid wire 1 and continue to flow along the guide direction of the filter duct toward the outlet by bypassing the solid wire 1.

[0066] The solid wire 1 is a solid fine wire, either metallic or non-metallic, with a diameter of 0.1-4 mm.

[0067] Multiple solid wires 1 are inserted into the inner hole 2b-1. Water flows into these wires, increasing the water volume and thus forming a better water film, thereby enhancing the purification and humidification effect. If all the airflow entering the filter duct is considered as multiple streams evenly distributed within it, then, depending on the number of solid wires 1 and their position on the cross-section of the filter duct, each solid wire 1 should at least partially impede the movement of the airflow, allowing at least a portion of the impeded airflow to contact the outer surface of the solid wire 1.

[0068] When filtering air, the solid wire 1 relies on the water film generated on its outer surface. Therefore, it is necessary to connect the solid wire 1 to a water source so that water can flow into its through-hole. In this embodiment, a water tank 2a at one end of the solid wire 1 is provided with a water pipe, which is connected to a water pump and a water source.

[0069] like Figure 9 The inner hole 2b-1 and outer hole 2b-2 at the top of the water hole 2b are connected by a connecting piece 2b-3 to form a water flow hole for water to flow into the solid wire 1. In this way, water can flow evenly into the solid wire 1 to form a uniform water film, thereby achieving efficient air purification and humidification and increasing the customer experience.

[0070] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket of this air humidification filter element assembly connects the solid wires 1 together to form the simplest filter element assembly, and positions the solid wires 1 in the filtration duct provided by the mounting bracket. This allows air humidification filter element assemblies of a certain size to be used in existing air filters; simply connect the filtration duct to the air filter duct. During use, water can enter the surface of the solid wires through the water hole 2b at the bottom of the water tank 2a, allowing water to flow evenly across the outer surface of the solid wires 1, forming a uniform water film. Since the water film flows on the outer surface of the solid wires 1, it automatically carries away captured particles and other impurities during air filtration. These impurities flow along the solid wires 1 into the water tank, achieving a self-cleaning effect and extending the service life of the solid wire filter element to maintain good filtration efficiency over a long period.

[0071] A specific preferred structure of an air humidification filter assembly is as follows: Figures 2-8 As shown.

[0072] Among them, such as Figure 8 As shown, the mounting bracket includes a top bracket 2 and a bottom bracket 3 positioned below the top bracket 2. Both the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3 are provided with water holes 2b. Each water hole 2b consists of a top inner hole 2b-1, an outer hole 2b-2, and a connecting piece 2b-3. The top inner hole 2b-1 is used to insert solid wires 1. The solid wires 1 are vertically arranged, with their top and bottom ends inserted into the top inner holes 2b-1 on the top bracket 2 and bottom bracket 3 respectively. The solid wires 1 are fixed between the brackets through the top inner holes 2b-1, forming a solid wire filter element. The number of top inner holes 2b-1 on the top bracket 2 and bottom bracket 3 depends on the number of solid wires 1 installed, and is generally in an equal-to-equal relationship.

[0073] The diameter of the solid wire 1 is smaller than the diameter of the top inner hole (2b-1) set on the bracket 2, and it passes through the top inner hole (2b-1) and is fixed in the top inner hole (2b-1) to ensure that the water in the water tank 2a flows into the surface of the solid wire (1) through the inner and outer holes to form a water film.

[0074] The number of solid wires 1 can be set differently according to the required filtration capacity and usage area, such as 50 or 100 wires, or one wire folded back and forth and crossed in the bracket. One or more solid wires are folded back and forth and connected to the top inner hole (2b-1) and the bottom bracket (3); the holes corresponding to the upper and lower brackets are folded back and forth to form multiple crossings, and multiple rows of filter walls are arranged in sequence; a V-shape is formed between the brackets; and a multi-layer solid wire filter wall (5) is formed. In this embodiment, multiple wires are used as an example. All solid wires 1 are arranged in a certain way to completely separate the air inlet and outlet of the filter air duct. Adjacent solid wires 1 are spaced apart to form a ventilated gap so that airflow can pass through the gap.

[0075] In terms of arrangement, all the solid wires 1 can form a filter wall. This filter wall is placed horizontally in the filter duct, separating the air inlet and outlet, allowing airflow only to pass through the gaps formed by two adjacent solid wires 1. All the solid wires 1 in the filter wall are arranged sequentially in a combination of one or more of the following line types: straight lines, curves, and broken lines. The filter wall can be arranged between the top support 2 and the bottom support 3 according to the total number of solid wires 1 and the required gap size. While ensuring a certain filtration capacity, the filter wall can form one or more rows. In the case of multiple rows, each row of filter walls is arranged sequentially along the guide of the filter duct, so that airflow needs to pass through multiple layers of filter walls to exit from the outlet. Similarly, all the solid wires 1 can form a filter wall as follows: Figures 2-6 The filter enclosure 5 shown separates the air inlet and outlet, allowing airflow only to pass through the gap formed by two adjacent solid wires 1. The filter enclosure 5 can be arranged between the top support 2 and the bottom support 3 according to the total number of solid wires 1 and the required gap size. While ensuring a certain filtration capacity, the filter enclosure 5 can form one or more rings, such as five rings. In the case of multiple rings of filter enclosure 5, each filter enclosure 5 is coaxially arranged and nested sequentially along the guide of the filtration duct, so that airflow needs to pass through multiple layers of filter enclosure 5 sequentially to exit from the outlet.

[0076] like Figures 4-8 As shown, using solid wires 1 to form the filter enclosure 5 is a preferred solution. Based on this, both the top support 2 and the bottom support 3 are annular, with a through-hole running vertically through the center of both the top support 2 and the bottom support 3. All the solid wires 1 in the filter enclosure 5 are arranged sequentially around the circular through-hole in the center of the annular top support 2. The circular through-hole in the center of the top support 2 serves as the air outlet. The space between the top support 2 and the bottom support 3, located outside the outermost filter enclosure 5, serves as the air inlet.

[0077] During use, the solid wire 1 must generally be kept taut to ensure a good filtration effect. If the solid wire 1 is not taut, it may be blown by the airflow, causing it to swing and the gap between adjacent solid wires 1 to constantly change, affecting its ability to obstruct airflow and reducing the filtration effect. Therefore, when installing the air humidifier filter assembly onto the corresponding mounting structure on the air purifier, the distance between the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3 needs to be large enough to ensure that the solid wire 1 is kept taut and taut.

[0078] To make the installation of air humidifier filter components easier, such as... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, a support rod 4 is installed between the top support 2 and the bottom support 3. The support rod 4 is vertically positioned, specifically as shown in the figure. Figure 5 The position between the two rings of filter walls 5 is shown. The top and bottom ends of the support rod 4 are fixedly connected to the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3, respectively, to determine the spacing between the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3. This spacing keeps the solid wire 1 taut and straight. The support rod 4 can maintain the spacing between the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3, keeping the solid wire 1 taut and straight. This not only helps to form a uniform water film on each segment of the solid wire 1, but also makes the gaps between adjacent solid wires 1 uniform. After the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3 are fixed by the support rod 4, when installing the air humidifying filter element assembly into the air purifier, it is not necessary to fix the top bracket 2 and the bottom bracket 3. It is only necessary to connect the entire mounting frame to a fixed point, which makes the installation of the air humidifying filter element assembly more convenient.

[0079] During use, each solid wire 1 needs to be connected to a water source. If each solid wire 1 were connected individually, the structure would be extremely complex, requiring many components, and ensuring that each solid wire 1 receives the same amount of water would be very difficult. Therefore, to simplify the structure of the air humidification filter assembly and ensure that different solid wires 1 receive approximately the same amount of water, such as… Figure 8 As shown, the top of the top support 2 is set as an open-top annular water tank 2a. The top opening of the solid wire 1 is located inside the water tank 2a or flush with the bottom of the water tank 2a to communicate with the water tank 2a. With a simple structure, multiple solid wires 1 can be connected to the water source at the same time. In this way, the water tank 2a is connected to all the solid wires 1, and water can be directly poured into the water tank 2a. The water tank 2a can simultaneously distribute water to multiple solid wires 1, ensuring that each solid wire 1 receives the same amount of water.

[0080] Example 2:

[0081] This embodiment is a further optimization based on the above embodiments. To better realize this utility model, the following configuration structure is specifically adopted:

[0082] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, the top support 2 of the air humidification filter assembly is connected to an annular top cover 6 at the opening of the water tank 2a. The top cover 6, together with the water tank 2a, forms a sealed annular water inlet chamber. A water inlet 20 port 7, communicating with the water inlet chamber, is provided at the bottom surface of the water tank 2a. A vertically arranged water inlet pipe 8, for connecting to a water source, is connected to the water inlet 7. The lower part of the water inlet pipe 8 is fixedly inserted into a perforation in the bottom support 3. The top end of the water inlet pipe 8 is connected to the water inlet 7, and the bottom end of the water inlet pipe 8 is located below the bottom support 3 or flush with the bottom surface of the bottom support 3. The water inlet 7 is located at the bottom surface of the water tank 2a, and the water inlet pipe 8 extends downwards from the water inlet, allowing the water inlet pipe 8 to utilize the inner space between the top support 2 and the bottom support 3, making the entire air humidification filter assembly structure more compact. The water inlet pipe 8 can be connected to tap water or to water pump 11, which connects to tap water or a water tank.

[0083] In this embodiment, multiple solid wires 1 can distribute water through a sealed water inlet chamber. This sealed chamber maintains a certain pressure at the water inlet end of the solid wires 1 after they are filled with water, increasing the water flow rate through the gaps. This results in a faster flow of the water film on the surface of the solid wires 1, improving air purification and self-cleaning effects. Furthermore, the top cover 6 prevents impurities from entering the water tank 2a, thus preventing them from clogging the micropores inside the solid wires 1 and ensuring the uniformity of the water film on the surface of the solid wires 1.

[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, the bottom bracket 3 is connected to a water tank that communicates with the return water chamber 3a, so as to achieve water circulation in the water tank.

[0085] Example 3:

[0086] This embodiment further provides an air humidifier and purifier based on the above embodiments, specifically employing the following configuration structure:

[0087] like Figures 1-3 As shown, in this embodiment, the air humidifier and purifier includes a housing 9, a fan 10, and the air humidifier filter assembly from any of the above embodiments.
