[0061] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings, wherein the same or similar components are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals throughout. The embodiments described below by reference to drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present application, and should not be understood as limiting the present application.

[0062] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the present application. For the purpose of simplification, the components and arrangements of the specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application can repeatedly refer to numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity, and does not indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can realize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0063] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, the air conditioner 100 according to the embodiments of the present application is described.

[0064] Referring to Figure 1 , the air conditioner 100 comprises an air heat exchange component 1 and an air treatment component 2, the air heat exchange component 1 comprises a heat exchanger 11 and a water pan 12 arranged below the heat exchanger 11, referring to Figure 2 , the water pan 12 has a drain hole 121 and an overflow hole 122, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121; in combination with Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the air treatment component 2 is arranged below the air heat exchange component 1, and comprises at least one of a humidification module 21, a purification module 22 and a fresh air module 23, in combination with Figure 14 , Figure 5 and Figure 11 , the air treatment component 2 comprises a water guide channel 2110, the water guide channel 2110 is located below the overflow hole 122, and the top is open to receive the water drainage of the overflow hole 122.

[0065] In the related art air conditioner, the air heat exchange component will produce condensate water on the surface of the heat exchanger when running in the refrigeration mode, so a water pan is usually arranged below the heat exchanger to receive the flowing condensate water, and a drain hole is arranged on the water pan to drain the accumulated water in the water pan. However, after a long time of operation, the dust accumulated on the surface of the heat exchanger will often flow into the drain hole together with the condensate water, which gradually causes the drain hole to be blocked, and thus the condensate water in the water pan cannot be smoothly drained, and the accumulation amount continuously rises. Once the condensate water exceeds the maximum capacity of the water pan, it will overflow disorderly, and once the overflow water flows to the key components of the air conditioner, it may cause damage to these components, affecting the reliability of the air conditioner.

[0066] In the technical scheme of the present application, by arranging the drain hole 121 and the overflow hole 122 on the water pan 12, and the upper end of the overflow hole 122 being higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121, during normal operation, the condensate water is drained through the drain hole 121, and when the drain hole 121 is blocked, the water level of the water pan 12 reaches the overflow height, and the condensate water is drained through the overflow hole 122 and flows into the water guide channel 2110, achieving the effect of directional drainage along the designed path, solving the problem of drainage failure, thereby effectively reducing the risk of damage to electrical components caused by the water pan 12 overflowing disorderly when full, and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0067] In addition, by arranging the air treatment component 2 below the air heat exchange component 1, and arranging the water guide channel 2110 on the air treatment component 2 to receive the water drainage of the overflow hole 122, the overflow water drainage path is reliable, and the overflow water drainage path can effectively avoid other components of the air conditioner.

[0068] In the embodiments of the present application, the forming manner and the setting position of the water guide channel 2110 are not limited, for example, there can be only one channel, and for example, there can also be a combination of multiple channels, and the form of the channel is not limited, for example, it can be a water guide channel extending downward from top to bottom, and for example, it can be a buffer channel with an open top to receive water, and the like. Among them, the water guide channel can be a pipeline form channel defined by a water guide pipe or the like, or can be a drainage groove form defined by a structure wall or the like. Among them, the buffer channel can be a box groove form channel defined by a water receiving box or the like, or can be a water receiving groove form defined by a structure wall or the like.

[0069] For example, the outer surface of the structural part required by the air treatment component 2 itself forms the water guide channel 2110, thereby integrating the water guide channel 2110 on the outer surface of the module of the air treatment component 2, without the need to separately arrange a pipeline, the entire air conditioner 100 is more compact, the integration of the air conditioner 100 is improved, and it is beneficial to save parts.

[0070] For example, the water guide pipe can be installed on the basis of the structural part required by the air treatment component 2 itself, and a closed water guide channel 2110 is formed by the water guide pipe, which further improves the effect of directional drainage, so that the overflow condensate is directly drained in a directional manner, reducing the opportunity for the overflow condensate to contact other electronic components, effectively reducing the risk of damage to electrical components caused by the overflow of the water fullness of the water receiving tray 12, and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0071] In the embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the air treatment component 2 is not limited, for example, it can include at least one of a humidification module 21, a purification module 22, and a fresh air module 23, which can be designed and selected according to actual needs, thereby meeting the needs of humidifying, purifying, or introducing fresh air to the air, and improving the indoor air quality.

[0072] In the embodiments of the present application, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drainage hole 121, but it is not the higher the better, the upper end of the overflow hole 122 should be lower than the height of the maximum capacity of the water receiving tray 12, so that the accumulated water can be effectively drained through the overflow hole 122 before the water receiving tray 12 is full.

[0073] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 and Figure 7 The drainage hole 121 penetrates the bottom wall of the water receiving tray 12, the overflow column 123 protrudes above the bottom wall of the water receiving tray 12, and the overflow hole 122 penetrates the overflow column 123 in the up-down direction.

[0074] In the above technical solution, by directly penetrating the drain hole 121 in the bottom wall of the water pan 12, and protruding the overflow column 123 with the overflow hole 122 above the bottom wall, the entire drainage structure is compact and the function is clear. The drain hole 121 is responsible for normal drainage, while the overflow column 123 and the overflow hole 122 thereon serve as a backup drainage path to ensure that excess water can be drained in time when the drain hole 121 is blocked or the drainage capacity is insufficient. Specifically, since the drain hole 121 directly penetrates the bottom wall of the water pan 12, the accumulation time of water flow in the water pan 12 is reduced, and the drainage efficiency is improved. At the same time, the overflow column 123 protrudes above the bottom wall of the water pan 12, so that the upper end of the overflow hole 122 is higher than the upper end of the drain hole 121, providing additional safety for the drainage system, preventing the condensate from overflowing disorderly due to poor drainage.

[0075] In embodiments of the present application, the shape of the overflow column 123 is not limited, and the overflow column 123 can optionally be cylindrical, conical, square, etc. to adapt to different installation spaces and drainage requirements. In addition, multiple overflow columns 123 can be provided on the water pan 12, each with an overflow hole 122 to improve the redundancy and safety of the drainage system. Furthermore, the sizes of the drain hole 121 and the overflow hole 122 can be adjusted according to the drainage volume requirement and the maximum capacity of the water pan 12 to achieve optimal drainage effect.

[0076] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 6 , the upper end of the column wall of the overflow column 123 is locally recessed downward to form a water breaking opening 1231, which communicates the outside of the overflow column 123 with the overflow hole 122.

[0077] In the above technical solution, the upper end of the column wall of the overflow column 123 is locally recessed downward to form a water breaking opening 1231, which breaks the liquid surface tension of the condensate around the column wall of the overflow column 123, so that the condensate can flow smoothly into the overflow hole 122 after reaching the height of the water breaking opening 1231, preventing the condensate in the water pan 12 from continuing to accumulate, thereby improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0078] In addition, due to the presence of the water breaking opening 1231, even if impurities or particulate matter in the condensate accumulate around the column wall of the overflow column 123, they are more likely to be discharged through these openings, reducing the risk of blockage due to impurity accumulation.

[0079] In embodiments of the present application, the shape of the water breaking opening 1231 is not limited, and the water breaking opening 1231 can optionally be circular, rectangular, elliptical, etc. to better adapt to the fluid dynamics characteristics and drainage requirements, such as different shapes of the water breaking opening 1231 suitable for discharging different shapes of impurities.

[0080] In some embodiments, referring toFigure 6 The water breaking openings 1231 are multiple and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the overflow column 123. In this way, the water flow can be more effectively dispersed, thereby improving the efficiency of the entire drainage system. In addition, the multiple water breaking openings 1231 reduce the impact of water flow at a single location, which helps to reduce the risk of damage caused by water flow erosion.

[0081] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 6 , the overflow column 123 is cylindrical, and the upper end of the column wall of the overflow column 123 is concave downward to form two rectangular water breaking openings 1231, and the two water breaking openings 1231 are arranged opposite to each other along the circumference of the overflow column 123.

[0082] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 6 , the overflow columns 123 are multiple and have different protrusion heights, so as to correspond to multiple overflow holes 122 with different upper end horizontal heights.

[0083] In the above technical solutions, by arranging multiple overflow columns 123 with different protrusion heights, multiple overflow holes 122 with different upper end horizontal heights are formed, and the overflow holes 122 with different heights can drain water at different water levels, ensuring effective drainage at different water levels, reducing the possibility of drainage blockage and failure of a single height overflow hole 122, improving the reliability of drainage, and thereby improving the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0084] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 2 , the multiple overflow columns 123 are arranged to be located above the upper end of the same water guide channel 2110, for example, when the water guide channel 2110 includes a water receiving groove 21111 which is open at the top and is located below the overflow hole 122, the multiple overflow columns 123 are arranged to be located above the same water receiving groove 21111. In this way, the condensed water overflowing from the multiple overflow columns 123 can all flow into the water guide channel 2110, thereby more effectively utilizing the drainage capacity of the water guide channel 2110, and the arrangement of the multiple overflow columns 123 enables the condensed water to flow more quickly and more concentratedly into the water guide channel 2110, which helps to reduce the residence time of the condensed water and reduce the risk of water damage. In addition, the concentrated arrangement makes the space occupied by the multiple overflow columns 123 more compact, thereby optimizing the space utilization.

[0085] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 8The bottom wall of the water pan 12 is provided with a water guide portion 124 protruding downward, and the water guide portion 124 has a water guide surface 1241 for guiding the water flow of the overflow column 123 to the water guide flow channel 2110, and the water guide surface 1241 extends downward along the direction from the overflow hole 122 to the upper end of the water guide flow channel 2110, for example, when the water guide flow channel 2110 includes a top-open water collection groove 21111 located below the overflow hole 122, the water guide surface 1241 extends downward along the direction from the overflow hole 122 to the water collection groove 21111.

[0086] In the above technical solution, by providing the water guide portion 124 protruding downward below the bottom wall of the water pan 12, and the water guide portion 124 has a water guide surface 1241 for guiding the water flow of the overflow column 123 to the water guide flow channel 2110, the water flow discharged from the overflow column 123 can be effectively guided, and the possibility of splashing of the condensed water is reduced. Specifically, the provision of the water guide portion 124 can ensure that the water flow flows along the water guide surface 1241 under the action of gravity, and only when it flows to the bottom of the water guide surface 1241 will it drop into the water guide flow channel 2110, reducing the drop height of the condensed water, thereby reducing the kinetic energy of the condensed water after dropping, so that the condensed water does not splash when it drops into the water guide flow channel 2110, and the noise generated by the splashing is reduced, thereby improving the safety performance and quietness performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0087] In addition, compared with the traditional drainage structure design, the present solution achieves efficient and directional drainage function to the water collection groove 21111 through the simple water guide portion 124, without the need to increase additional drainage pipes or complex water flow guide mechanisms, thereby simplifying the product structure and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0088] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 5 and Figure 8 The water guide surface 1241 extends along an inclined surface or a curved surface relative to the vertical surface. Compared with a flat surface or a straight edge, the resistance of the water flow on the water guide surface 1241 can be reduced. When the water flow flows on the inclined surface or the curved surface, it can transition more smoothly, avoiding vortex and splashing caused by the impact of the water flow on the straight edge, further improving the stability and efficiency of the drainage.

[0089] In addition, the inclined surface or the curved surface can disperse the impact force of the water flow on the water guide portion 124, reducing the structural wear and deformation caused by the water flow, thereby prolonging the service life of the product.

[0090] Furthermore, since the condensed water contains dust particles, the water guide surface 1241 is provided as an inclined surface or a curved surface, so that the dust is not easy to accumulate on the water guide surface 1241 during the discharge of the condensed water, reducing the space for bacterial breeding and dirt accumulation, facilitating the user to perform regular cleaning and maintenance work, thereby further prolonging the service life of the product.

[0091] Exemplarily, as shown in Figure 5 the bottom wall of the water pan 12 protrudes a water guide portion 124, the water guide portion 124 has a water guide surface 1241 for guiding the water drained from the overflow column 123 to the water guide flow channel 2110, the water guide surface 1241 is a curved surface and extends along the direction from the overflow hole 122 to the water receiving groove 21111. In this way, the water flow flows along the water guide surface 1241 under the action of gravity, reducing the dropping height of the condensed water, and then dropping into the water guide flow channel 2110, reducing the possibility of splashing water, and effectively preventing the damage of electrical components and safety accidents, thereby improving the safety performance and quiet performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0092] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 9 , the water guide flow channel 2110 includes a top-open water receiving groove 21111, the water receiving groove 21111 is located below the overflow hole 122, and the water receiving groove 21111 is provided with a splash-proof structure 21111a.

[0093] In the above technical solution, the water guide flow channel 2110 includes a top-open water receiving groove 21111, the water receiving groove 21111 is located below the overflow hole 122. In this way, the condensed water overflowing from the overflow hole 122 can all flow into the water guide flow channel 2110, thereby more effectively utilizing the water draining capacity of the water guide flow channel 2110; the water receiving groove 21111 can more effectively receive the condensed water overflowing from the overflow hole 122, improving the reliability of the water guide flow channel 2110. In addition, the water receiving groove 21111 can also serve as a container for storing the overflowing condensed water, when the overflowing condensed water flows down in a large amount instantaneously, the volume of the water receiving groove 21111 can serve as a buffer, and then the water is guided downward through the water guide flow channel 2110, thereby improving the ability of the water guide flow channel 2110 to handle the overflowing condensed water instantaneously, and improving the reliability of the air conditioner 100.

[0094] The water receiving groove 21111 is provided with a splash-proof structure 21111a, which effectively reduces the splashing of the water flow when falling into the water receiving groove 21111, thereby reducing the possibility of the condensed water splashing onto the electronic components. Thus, the damage of the electrical components is reduced, in addition, the splash-proof structure 21111a can reduce noise and improve user experience. The sound of the condensed water directly impacting the bottom of the water receiving groove 21111 is often loud, and the splash-proof structure 21111a can absorb or disperse part of the impact force, making the noise softer. In combination with the arrangement of the water guide portion 124 and the water guide surface 1241 in the above embodiments, the two work together to reduce noise. Finally, since the splash-proof structure 21111a can reduce the direct impact of the water flow on the water receiving groove 21111, this structure also helps to improve the durability of the water receiving groove 21111, thereby reducing the risk of wear and corrosion.

[0095] In the embodiments of the present application, the structure form and material of the splash-proof structure 21111a are not limited, and the splash-proof structure 21111a can be a rubber splash-proof pad, a metal mesh splash-proof net, a plastic splash-proof plate, or a splash-proof protrusion lattice, for example. The rubber splash-proof pad is soft and elastic, can effectively absorb the impact force of the water flow, and reduce splashing. The metal mesh splash-proof net is firm and durable, and easy to clean. The plastic splash-proof plate has low cost and is easy to process into various shapes and sizes, and is suitable for various sink designs.

[0096] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 14 , the air conditioner 100 further comprises a bottom plate 3 located below the air handling component 2, and the bottom plate 3 receives the drainage of the air handling component 2.

[0097] In the above technical solution, since the bottom plate 3 is lower than the air handling component 2, the bottom plate 3 can effectively receive and collect the condensate water generated by the air handling component 2 during operation, so that the condensate water will not directly drop to the ground, keeping the ground around the equipment dry and clean. In addition, even if the condensate water of the bottom plate 3 overflows the bottom plate 3, it will not damage the electronic components of the equipment or cause a short circuit of the circuit and other safety hazards.

[0098] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 9 , the splash-proof structure 21111a comprises a plurality of protrusions protruding upward from the bottom of the water receiving groove 21111, and the plurality of protrusions are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. In this way, the water flow can contact the protrusions more when falling into the water receiving groove 21111, thereby effectively dispersing and slowing down the impact force of the water flow and reducing splashing. At the same time, the array arrangement of multiple rows and multiple columns enables the protrusions to cover a larger area of the water receiving groove 21111, further improving the splash-proof effect.

[0099] The shape and arrangement of the protrusions can guide the water flow to flow along a specific path, reducing the stagnation and vortex phenomenon of the water flow in the water receiving groove 21111. This helps to ensure that the moisture can flow more smoothly to the drainage structure (such as the drain hole 21111b) of the water receiving groove 21111, improving the drainage efficiency. In addition, the arrangement of the protrusions can also enhance the structural strength of the water receiving groove 21111 to some extent. These protrusions can serve as additional support points to disperse the pressure that the water receiving groove 21111 may be subjected to during use, thereby prolonging its service life.

[0100] For example, as Figure 9As shown, the water collecting groove 21111 is provided with a splash-proof structure 21111a, which includes a plurality of protrusions protruding upward from the groove bottom of the water collecting groove 21111. The plurality of protrusions are arranged in multiple rows and multiple columns. The protrusions are cylindrical, and the top of the cylinder is a hemispherical surface. In this way, when the condensed water falls into the water collecting groove 21111, it drips onto the top of the protrusion, thereby effectively dispersing and slowing down the impact force of the water flow and reducing the splashing phenomenon.

[0101] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10 , the air treatment component 2 includes an air outlet frame 211, which has an air outlet 2115. The upper end of the air outlet frame 211 is provided with a water collecting part 2111, which defines a water collecting groove 21111. The groove bottom of the water collecting groove 21111 is formed with a water leakage hole 21111b. The air outlet frame 211 is formed with a water guide channel 211a below the water leakage hole 21111b.

[0102] In the above technical solution, since the water collecting groove 21111 is arranged at the upper end of the air outlet frame 211, there is still a possibility that the condensed water accumulated in the water collecting groove 21111 will leak and invade the components below the air outlet frame 211. The groove bottom of the water collecting groove 21111 is formed with a water leakage hole 21111b, so that the condensed water can be smoothly discharged from the water collecting groove 21111. The air outlet frame 211 is formed with a water guide channel 211a below the water leakage hole 21111b, which can guide the condensed water to continue to flow downward in an orderly manner, reducing the disorderly flow and accumulation of the condensed water inside the equipment, and improving the drainage efficiency and performance of the equipment.

[0103] In the embodiments of the present application, the number of water leakage holes 21111b is not limited. For example, the water leakage hole 21111b can be one, which is simple and practical, and is suitable for small air treatment components 2. The water leakage hole 21111b can also be multiple, which can disperse the water drainage pressure and improve the drainage efficiency, and is suitable for air treatment components 2 in large or high humidity environments.

[0104] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10The air treatment component 2 comprises a humidification module 21, the humidification module 21 comprises an air outlet frame body 211, the air outlet frame body 211 defines a humidification air duct 2114, the air outlet frame body 211 comprises a mounting portion 2113 and an upper air outlet portion 2112, the air outlet 2115 comprises an upper air outlet 21151 defined by the upper air outlet portion 2112, the mounting portion 2113 is located at the front side of the humidification air duct 2114 and defines a water tank mounting cavity 21131 which is open forward, the upper air outlet portion 2112 is located above the mounting portion 2113 and communicates with the humidification air duct 2114, a water receiving portion 2111 is located at one side of the left and right sides of the upper air outlet portion 2112, and a water guide channel 211a is located at one side of the left and right sides of the mounting portion 2113 and below the water receiving portion 2111.

[0105] In the above technical solution, the humidification module 21 integrates the humidification air duct 2114, the air outlet 2115, the water tank mounting cavity 21131 and the water guide channel 211a through the air outlet frame body 211, so that the structure of the entire air treatment component 2 is more compact, space is saved, and the overall performance and efficiency of the equipment are improved.

[0106] The mounting portion 2113 is located at the front side of the humidification air duct 2114 and defines a water tank mounting cavity 21131 which is open forward, so that the operator can clean, add water and other operations to the water tank, improving the ease of use and maintainability of the equipment.

[0107] The water receiving portion 2111 is located at one side of the left and right sides of the upper air outlet portion 2112, and the water guide channel 211a is located at one side of the left and right sides of the mounting portion 2113 and below the water receiving portion 2111, so that the water receiving portion 2111 and the water guide channel 211a can be flexibly arranged according to the layout of the air treatment component 2, improving the integration of the air treatment component 2.

[0108] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10 The air outlet frame body 211 protrudes outwardly with a first water blocking rib 211b, the first water blocking rib 211b extends downwardly from a water leakage hole 21111b, and at least part of the water guide channel 211a is defined on the side of the first water blocking rib 211b close to the mounting portion 2113.

[0109] In the above technical solution, the first water blocking rib 211b protrudes outward from the air outlet frame body 211, effectively preventing the condensed water flowing from the water leakage hole 2111b from directly contacting the electronic components or other sensitive components inside the device, thereby reducing the risk of device damage caused by moisture intrusion. At least part of the water guide channel 211a is defined on the side of the first water blocking rib 211b close to the mounting portion 2113. The first water blocking rib 211b cooperates with the side plate of the mounting portion 2113 to define the part of the water guide channel 211a that flows through the air outlet frame body 211, guiding the condensed water to continue flowing downward in an orderly manner.

[0110] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 4 and Figure 10 , the air outlet frame body 211 includes a rear baffle structure 211d located below the first water blocking rib 211b, and the air outlet frame body 211 protrudes outwardly with a second water blocking rib 211c located in front of the rear baffle structure 211d, so that the lower part of the water guide channel 211a is defined between the second water blocking rib 211c and the rear baffle structure 211d.

[0111] In the above technical solution, the protection of the rear baffle structure 211d and the second water blocking rib 211c effectively prevents water from entering the interior of the device from below, front and rear, significantly improving the waterproof performance of the device. In addition, the lower part of the water guide channel 211a defined by the second water blocking rib 211c and the rear baffle structure 211d guides the condensed water to continue flowing downward in an orderly manner, reducing the residence time of the condensed water and improving the drainage efficiency.

[0112] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 11 , the air treatment component 2 further includes a purification module 22, which is located below the humidification module 21, and the purification module 22 forms a water guide channel 222 below the water guide channel 211a.

[0113] In the above technical solution, by integrating the purification module 22 into the air treatment component 2, the device not only has a humidification function, but also has an air purification function. This design enables the device to adjust the humidity in the air and remove pollutants in the air, providing a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment for users.

[0114] The purification module 22 is located below the humidification module 21, i.e. after the air flows through the purification module 22, it flows through the humidification module 21. When the humidification module 21 uses a wet membrane assembly for humidification, the air treated by the purification module 22 is cleaner, making it less likely for the wet membrane assembly to accumulate dust, which is beneficial to prolong the service life of the wet membrane assembly.

[0115] Exemplarily, when the purification module 22 adopts the principle of electrostatic adsorption for purification, the fine particles in the air are first subjected to electrification treatment, and then the electrostatic adsorption principle is used to effectively collect the electrified particles. However, the humid air is not easy to make the fine particles in it subjected to electrification treatment, thereby affecting the purification effect.

[0116] The water guide channel 222 is formed below the water guide channel 211a, so that the water flowing out of the water guide channel 211a can continue to flow downward along the water guide channel 222, reducing the possibility of water invading the electronic components in the purification module 22. The presence of the water guide channel 222 also helps to reduce the direct impact of water on the purification module 22, thereby prolonging the service life and purification effect of the purification module 22.

[0117] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 11 , the upper end opening width H1 of the water guide channel 222 is greater than the lower end opening width H2 of the water guide channel 211a.

[0118] In the above technical solution, since the upper end opening width of the water guide channel 222 is larger, it can more effectively receive the condensed water flowing out of the lower end of the water guide channel 211a, reducing the retention and splashing of water at the junction, thereby reducing the risk of corrosion or damage of the equipment caused by retention or splashing, and improving the reliability of water drainage.

[0119] In the embodiments of the present application, the opening width of the water guide channel 222 can be fixed or variable. Exemplarily, the upper end opening width of the water guide channel 222 is larger, and the lower end opening width of the water guide channel 222 is smaller. Thus, the upper end opening width of the water guide channel 222 is larger, which can more effectively receive the condensed water flowing out of the lower end of the water guide channel 211a, reducing the retention and splashing of water at the junction, and the lower end opening width of the water guide channel 222 is smaller, which more effectively restricts the flow of condensed water and guides the condensed water to continue to flow downward in an orderly manner.

[0120] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 11 and Figure 12 , the purification module 22 comprises a purification frame 221, a purification air duct 2212 is formed in the purification frame 221, the purification air duct 2212 communicates with the humidification air duct 2114, a third water blocking rib 2211 protrudes outward from the purification frame 221, the third water blocking rib 2211 extends in the up-down direction, there are two third water blocking ribs 2211 and they are spaced apart to define the water guide channel 222 between the two third water blocking ribs 2211.

[0121] In the technical scheme, the third water retaining rib 2211 is arranged between the two water retaining ribs 2212, and the water retaining rib 2211 is arranged in the up-down direction, so that a continuous and stable water retaining barrier is formed, and the water retaining performance of the device is further improved.

[0122] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 13 The lower part of the humidifying module 21 is provided with a water tank 212, and the water tank 212 is provided with a water pool for providing humidifying water or receiving water. The upper end of the side wall of the water tank 212 is provided with an overflow opening 2121 which is in communication with the water pool and is located above the water guide channel 222, so as to be suitable for draining water to the water guide channel 222.

[0123] In the technical scheme, the water pool formed in the water tank 212 is used for storing humidifying water, so that the humidifying module 21 can continuously and stably provide humidified air. At the same time, the arrangement of the overflow opening 2121 prevents the disorderly overflow caused by the high water level in the water pool, and ensures the safe operation of the device.

[0124] The overflow opening 2121 is located above the water guide channel 222, and when the water level in the water pool reaches the overflow opening 2121, the excess water will be drained into the water guide channel 222 through the overflow opening 2121, without the need to separately arrange a drainage channel for the overflow opening 2121, so that the integration of the air treatment component 2 is improved.

[0125] In some embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The air treatment component 2 further comprises a fresh air module 23 which is located below the purification module 22 and is used for sequentially sending air to the purification module 22 and the humidifying module 21 in the upward direction.

[0126] The fresh air module 23 is located below the purification module 22 and is used for sequentially sending air to the purification module 22 and the humidifying module 21 in the upward direction, so that the fresh air module 23, the purification module 22 and the humidifying module 21 are sequentially arranged along the air flow direction. The air flow introduced by the fresh air module 23 can flow through the purification module 22 first and then flow through the humidifying module 21. According to the type selection and opening control of the purification module 22 and the humidifying module 21, at least one of humidification and purification is realized.
