The dissolved impurities and part of the fine particulate matters in the condensate water may be deposited on the volatile pad 303 with the evaporation of water, which only needs to be cleaned or replaced regularly. The water storage box 400 is responsible for collecting the condensate water generated by the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and providing the water to the humidifying box 300. The volatile pad 303 is a key component in the humidifying process, which has good water absorption and evaporation performance, and can quickly absorb the water provided by the water storage box 400 and evaporate it into the air.

[0040] Referring to Figure 3 , the humidifying box 300 comprises: a plurality of ventilation holes 301 arranged on the humidifying box 300; the ventilation holes 301 are respectively arranged on the top surface and the side surface of the humidifying box 300, and air passes through the ventilation holes 301 on the top surface and the side surface of the humidifying box 300 in sequence to form the air flow in the humidifying box 300.

[0041] The number and position of the ventilation holes 301 are carefully designed to ensure that the air can flow evenly and effectively through the humidifying box 300. The ventilation holes 301 are respectively arranged on the top surface and the side surface, which enables the air to pass through the ventilation holes 301 on the top surface and the side surface in sequence and enter from the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 200, forming the air flow, which is helpful for the evaporation and diffusion of water, and the humidified air is blown out by the air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0043] The volatile pad 303 is installed on the bottom wall of the humidifying box 300 through the positioning frame 304, which ensures the stability and efficiency of the volatile pad 303 during the humidifying process. The liquid level sensor 302 is used to monitor the water level in the water storage box 400 in real time, and when the water level is too high or too low, the sensor will send a signal to adjust the water level in time or perform other operations; the positioning frame 304 is used to fix the position of the volatile pad 303 in the humidifying box 300, which ensures that the volatile pad 303 can be stably placed in the humidifying box 300.

[0044] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the water storage box 400 comprises: an overflow port 401 installed on the side wall of the water storage box 400; a submersible pump 402 installed in the water storage box 400, the extension end of the pipe of the water outlet of the submersible pump 402 is connected to the humidifying box 300; a delivery pipe 600, one end of the delivery pipe 600 is connected to the water outlet of the submersible pump 402, and the other end of the delivery pipe 600 is arranged through the side wall of the humidifying box 300; a collection pipe 500, one end of the collection pipe 500 is connected to the water storage box 400, and the other end of the collection pipe 500 is connected to the drain port of the air conditioner indoor unit 200.

[0045] The overflow port 401 is used to discharge excess water when the water amount is too much; the submersible pump 402 is responsible for delivering water from the water storage box 400 to the humidifying box 300; the delivery pipe 600 serves as a channel connecting the submersible pump 402 and the humidifying box 300, which ensures that water can be smoothly transmitted from the water storage box 400 to the humidifying box 300.

[0046] Referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the collection pipe 500 comprises: a one-way valve 501 installed on the collection pipe 500; the collection pipe 500 is responsible for collecting the condensed water of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 into the water storage box 400. The one-way valve 501 is installed on the collection pipe 500 to prevent water from flowing back to the air conditioner indoor unit 200 or the water in the water storage box 400 from overflowing.

[0047] Example Two

[0048] The difference between this embodiment and Example One is that:

[0049] Referring to Figure 6 , the bottom wall of the water storage box 400 is formed with a slope 403, which helps the water flow to the position of the submersible pump 402, ensuring that the submersible pump 402 can smoothly draw water; the submersible pump 402 is provided with filter cotton, which plays a filtering role to prevent impurities from entering the humidifying box 300.

[0050] The following briefly introduces the use principle and method of the air conditioner condensed water recycling and evaporation device proposed in this application:

[0051] The air conditioner indoor unit 200 will produce condensate water during operation, which is discharged through its drain port. The collection pipe 500 is responsible for collecting the condensate water from the drain port of the air conditioner indoor unit 200 and guiding it into the water storage box 400. The one-way valve 501 installed on the collection pipe 500 ensures that the condensate water can only flow in one direction, preventing water from flowing back into the air conditioner indoor unit 200 or the water in the water storage box 400 from overflowing.

[0052] The water storage box 400 receives the condensate water from the collection pipe 500 and temporarily stores it. The bottom wall of the water storage box 400 forms a slope 403, which helps the condensate water flow to the location of the submersible pump 402, ensuring that the submersible pump 402 can smoothly extract the water. The filter cotton installed in the submersible pump 402 plays a filtering role, preventing impurities in the condensate water from entering the humidification box 300, ensuring clean and efficient humidification.

[0053] The submersible pump 402 extracts water from the water storage box 400, and the extracted water is transported to the humidification box 300 through the delivery pipe 600. The volatile pad 303 in the humidification box 300 has good water absorption and volatilization performance, and can quickly absorb the water delivered and volatilize it into the air. The air can flow through the ventilation holes 301 on the humidification box 300 and come into contact with the moisture on the volatile pad 303, thereby achieving the humidification effect. The number and position of the ventilation holes 301 are carefully designed to ensure that the air can uniformly and effectively flow through the humidification box 300 and enter the air inlet of the air conditioner indoor unit 200, forming an air flow that helps the volatilization and diffusion of moisture.

[0054] The liquid level sensor 302 monitors the water level in the humidification box 300 in real time. When the water level is too high, the sensor will send a signal to adjust the working state of the submersible pump 402. When the water level is too low, the sensor will also send a signal to prompt timely water replenishment.

[0055] Over time, some dissolved impurities and tiny particulate matter may deposit on the volatile pad 303, so it is necessary to regularly clean or replace the volatile pad 303 to maintain its good water absorption and volatilization performance. At the same time, it is also necessary to regularly check the cleanliness and integrity of components such as the water storage box 400, the collection pipe 500, and the delivery pipe 600 to ensure smooth operation of the entire humidification device.

[0056] Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner condensate water recycling and evaporation device proposed in the present application has the following beneficial effects:

[0057] By collecting and utilizing the air conditioner condensate water for humidification, the indoor humidity can be adjusted. The volatile pad has good water absorption and volatilization performance, can quickly absorb and volatilize moisture, and makes the humidification effect more significant. The condensate water is also fully utilized.

[0058] By the natural evaporation of the condensed water to increase the humidity of the air, the dissolved impurities and part of the tiny particulate matters in the condensed water can be deposited on the volatile pad as the water evaporates, avoiding pollution to the environment during the humidification process.
