[0061] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0062] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0063] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a humidification module 3 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0064] See Figures 1-3 The humidification module 3 includes an air duct frame 31, a water tray 32, and a wet membrane assembly 33. A humidification air duct 31a is formed inside the air duct frame 31. The water tray 32 is located at the bottom of the air duct frame 31 and defines a water storage tank 3221 with an open top. The wet membrane assembly 33 includes a wet membrane 331, which is located inside the humidification air duct 31a and extends into the water storage tank 3221 at its lower end. The upper end of the wet membrane 331 is located diagonally above the lower end of the wet membrane 331, and the wet membrane 331 extends along an upward convex curve from the lower end to the upper end of the wet membrane 331.

[0065] In related technologies, air conditioners use humidification modules that increase the contact area between the humidification module and the air by tilting the wet film to improve humidification efficiency. However, the siphon effect of water absorption is limited in the vertical direction of the wet film, typically not exceeding 100mm. This limitation makes it difficult for the upper area of ​​the wet film to fully absorb water, thus affecting the overall humidification performance. Although the initial intention of tilting the wet film is to increase the humidification capacity, in practice, the upper part of the wet film cannot fully function due to lack of water, reducing the efficiency of the humidification module. Therefore, how to ensure that the wet film has a large contact area with the air while ensuring that the entire wet film absorbs water evenly has become a challenge in optimizing the humidification module of an air conditioner.

[0066] In the technical solution of this application embodiment, the wet membrane 331 is disposed in the humidification air duct 31a and its lower end extends into the water storage tank 3221. Water in the water storage tank 3221 is drawn in by the siphon effect to wet the wet membrane 331. The upper end of the wet membrane 331 is located obliquely above the lower end of the wet membrane 331, which increases the contact area between the wet membrane 331 and the air to be humidified. The wet membrane 331 extends along an upward convex curve from the lower end to the upper end of the wet membrane 331. Compared with the straight wet membrane 331, the height of the wet membrane 331 in the vertical direction is reduced, so that even the upper part of the wet membrane 331 can absorb enough moisture, thereby improving the overall wetness and humidification performance of the wet membrane 331. This effectively increases the contact area between the air to be humidified and the wet film 331, and also increases the moisture supply to the upper region of the wet film 331, improving the water absorption uniformity of the wet film 331. As a result, the air can be more fully humidified by the wet film 331 when it flows through the humidification duct 31a, improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification module 3, improving the uniformity of air humidification, and enhancing the humidification performance of the air conditioner 200.

[0067] Furthermore, since the wet membrane 331 extends along an upward convex curve from its lower end to its upper end, it essentially deforms against the direction of gravity. This helps to resist the downward bending deformation caused by the increased weight of the wet membrane 331 due to water absorption, thus improving the structural stability of the wet membrane 331. In addition, the enhanced uniformity of water absorption by the wet membrane 331 also helps to reduce stress concentration and deformation caused by uneven water absorption, improving the stability and reliability of the humidification module 3 during long-term operation, and reducing the failure rate and maintenance costs.

[0068] In the embodiments of this application, the wet film 331 extends from its lower end to its upper end along an upwardly convex curve, where "upwardly convex curve" refers to a curve that arches upwards from the line connecting the upper and lower endpoints of a relative curve. The specific form of the upwardly convex curve is not limited; it can be an arc or not an arc, for example, it can be composed of multiple arc segments. For example, the wet film 331 can extend along an upwardly convex curve with a large radius of curvature at the lower end and a small radius of curvature at the upper end, or it can extend along an upwardly convex curve with a small radius of curvature at the lower end and a large radius of curvature at the upper end, and so on.

[0069] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6The upward convex curve is an arc. Therefore, the vertical height of the upper end of the wet film 331 decreases, allowing moisture to be supplied to the upper end of the wet film 331 through a siphon effect, ensuring that the entire wet film 331 can absorb moisture evenly. Thus, when air flows through the humidifying duct 31a, it can exchange heat and moisture more fully with the wet film 331, thereby improving the humidification efficiency of the humidification module 3 and significantly enhancing the humidification performance of the air conditioner 200. Furthermore, the arc-shaped upward convex curve guides airflow more smoothly through the wet film 331, reducing airflow resistance and improving air circulation efficiency while also reducing the risk of deformation or damage to the wet film 331 due to uneven stress.

[0070] From a manufacturing perspective, the upward-convex curve of the arc shape is easier to manufacture, ensuring that the shape and size of the wet membrane 331 meet design requirements, facilitating processing and improving manufacturing efficiency. From an installation perspective, the arc-shaped wet membrane 331 is easier to install and position within the humidification duct 31a, reducing manufacturing and installation costs.

[0071] In the embodiments of this application, the specific form of the arc is not limited. For example, in addition to the standard circular arc, other shapes of arcs such as elliptical arcs and parabolic arcs can also be considered to meet different design requirements.

[0072] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The vertical height difference H between the upper end and the lower end of the wet membrane 331 does not exceed 120mm. For example, the vertical height difference H between the upper end and the lower end of the wet membrane 331 can be 110mm, 100mm, 90mm, etc.

[0073] The siphon effect on water absorption in the vertical direction of the wet membrane 331 typically does not exceed 100mm. Limiting the height difference H of the wet membrane 331 helps ensure a more uniform humidification effect across its various parts. Specifically, the upper part of the wet membrane 331 often suffers from insufficient water absorption due to the siphon effect, resulting in insufficient humidification of the air flowing through this area. This wastes the humidification capacity of the upper region of the wet membrane 331, leading to a decrease in overall humidification. By limiting the vertical height difference H between the upper and lower ends of the wet membrane 331 to no more than 120mm, the area of ​​the wet membrane 331 that cannot be wetted is reduced, allowing the area of ​​the wet membrane 331 to be fully utilized for humidifying the air, thereby increasing the humidification capacity.

[0074] In addition, by limiting the vertical height difference H between the upper and lower ends of the wet film 331, the possibility of water dripping due to excessive accumulation at the lower end of the wet film 331 is reduced, thus improving the safety of the humidification module 3. Furthermore, optimizing the height difference H of the wet film 331 can improve the stability and consistency of the humidification effect, reducing user discomfort caused by uneven humidification.

[0075] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 An insertion port 31b is formed on the air duct frame 31. The air duct frame 31 includes a guide rail structure 313 extending from the insertion port 31b toward the water storage tank 3221. The wet membrane assembly 33 extends into the humidification air duct 31a through the insertion port 31b. The guide rail structure 313 slides with the wet membrane assembly 33 to guide the wet membrane assembly 33 to slide toward the water storage tank 3221. The guide rail structure 313 extends from the insertion port 31b toward the water storage tank 3221 along a curved trajectory that matches the wet membrane 331.

[0076] In the above technical solution, the air duct frame 31 is provided with an insertion port 31b and a guide rail structure 313. The wet film assembly 33 can be easily inserted into the humidification air duct 31a through the insertion port 31b and slide into place along the guide rail structure 313, thereby simplifying the installation process of the wet film assembly 33. This allows users or maintenance personnel to replace or maintain the wet film assembly 33 without disassembling the entire air duct frame 31, improving the convenience of operation.

[0077] The guide rail structure 313 slides and engages with the wet film assembly 33, which simplifies the installation process and improves the connection stability between the wet film assembly 33 and the air duct frame 31, reducing the risk of failure due to loosening or misalignment.

[0078] The guide rail structure 313 extends from the insertion port 31b toward the water storage tank 3221 along a curved trajectory that matches the wet membrane 331. This ensures that the wet membrane assembly 33 maintains the correct position and orientation during sliding, reducing performance degradation or malfunctions caused by improper installation. Simultaneously, the curved trajectory of the guide rail structure 313 better adapts to the shape of the wet membrane assembly 33, improving installation stability and reliability.

[0079] In the embodiments of this application, the position and size of the insertion port 31b need to be designed according to the overall structure of the air duct frame 31 and the size of the wet membrane assembly 33 to ensure that the wet membrane assembly 33 can be smoothly inserted and removed.

[0080] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the insertion port 31b is located in the lower middle part of the air duct frame 31. The cross-section of the insertion port 31b is rectangular. The upper and lower edges of the insertion port 31b are respectively provided with handle positions. When disassembling the wet membrane assembly 33, the hand can be inserted into the handle position, which facilitates the disassembly of the wet membrane assembly 33.

[0081] In the embodiments of this application, the sliding engagement method between the wet film assembly 33 and the guide rail structure 313 is not limited. For example, the sliding engagement method can be a sliding engagement, where the guide rail structure 313 and the wet film assembly 33 are provided with corresponding grooves and sliders at corresponding parts. Through the sliding engagement of the grooves and sliders, the wet film assembly 33 can be installed smoothly. The sliding engagement method can also be a rolling engagement, where the guide rail structure 313 and the wet film assembly 33 are provided with corresponding grooves and rollers at corresponding parts. This reduces the friction between the guide rail structure 313 and the wet film assembly 33, allowing for faster installation.

[0082] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The length direction of the insertion port 31b is horizontal. The guide rail structure 313 includes two rails 3131, which are respectively placed on both sides of the horizontal direction of the insertion port 31b. Figure 4 The two ends of the wet membrane assembly 33 are respectively slidably engaged with two tracks 3131. Each track 3131 in the guide rail structure 313 extends from the insertion port 31b toward the water storage tank 3221 along a curved trajectory that matches the wet membrane 331.

[0083] In the above technical solution, by setting two tracks 3131 on both sides of the insertion port 31b in the horizontal direction and sliding with both ends of the wet film assembly 33, the stability of the wet film assembly 33 during installation and use is significantly enhanced. Furthermore, the guide rail structure 313 provides less obstruction to the ventilation of the wet film 331, which helps ensure the humidification effect. During installation, the two tracks 3131 provide better support and stability in the horizontal direction, effectively reducing the swaying or offset of the wet film assembly 33 in the horizontal direction. The sliding of the wet film assembly 33 on the dual tracks 3131 is more stable and smooth. After installation, there is no need to adjust the angle of the wet film assembly 33 to ensure its lower end is in full contact with the water storage tank 3221. Therefore, the setting of the two tracks 3131 improves the reliability of the humidification function of the humidification module 3 and the convenience of installation.

[0084] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 The track 3131 includes a track side plate 31311 and a track bottom plate 31312. The track bottom plate 31312 is supported below the side of the wet membrane assembly 33 and extends from the insertion port 31b toward the water storage tank 3221 along a curve that matches the wet membrane assembly 33. The track side plate 31311 in the track 3131 extends upward from the edge of the track bottom plate 31312 and stops on the side of the wet membrane assembly 33 away from the other track 3131.

[0085] In the above technical solution, the track 3131 is composed of track side plates 31311 and track base plates 31312, forming a stable support structure. The track base plate 31312 supports the side of the wet film assembly 33, providing support for the wet film assembly 33 and reducing the sagging or deformation of the wet film assembly 33 under gravity. At the same time, the track side plates 31311 extend upward from the edge of the track base plate 31312 and stop on one side of the wet film assembly 33. The two track side plates 31311 clamp the wet film assembly 33, forming a horizontal limit, reducing the horizontal displacement of the wet film assembly 33, thereby enhancing the structural stability of the wet film assembly 33 during long-term use.

[0086] From an installation perspective, the track base plate 31312 extends along a curve that matches the wet film assembly 33, allowing the wet film assembly 33 to fit tightly against the track 3131. The track base plate 31312 provides continuous and stable support and guidance for the wet film assembly 33, reducing errors during installation. Simultaneously, the stop function of the track side plate 31311 ensures precise positioning of the wet film assembly 33 during installation, preventing performance degradation due to improper installation.

[0087] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 7 and Figure 8 The two sides along the length of the horizontal cross-section of the wet membrane 331 are the transverse sides of the wet membrane 331, and the two tracks 3131 are respectively placed on the transverse sides of the wet membrane 331; Jiahe Figure 9 and Figure 10 The wet membrane assembly 33 includes a mesh frame 332, and the wet membrane 331 is installed in the mesh frame 332. The mesh frame 332 includes mesh frame sidewalls 3321 located on the lateral sides of the wet membrane 331. The mesh frame sidewalls 3321 extend from the lower end of the wet membrane 331 to the upper end of the wet membrane 331 along a curved trajectory that matches the wet membrane 331 and cooperates with the corresponding side track 3131.

[0088] In the above technical solution, the two tracks 3131 are placed on the lateral sides of the wet membrane 331. This layout allows the center of gravity of the wet membrane assembly 33 to be held between the two tracks 3131, so that the wet membrane assembly 33 can be stably fixed in the humidification duct 31a. Thus, the wet membrane assembly 33 can continuously humidify during use, improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0089] The side wall 3321 of the grid structure extends from the lower end of the wet membrane 331 to the upper end of the wet membrane 331 along a curved trajectory that matches the shape of the wet membrane 331, covering the entire length range of the wet membrane 331. This all-round protection ensures that the wet membrane 331 can be stably supported at any position, avoiding deformation problems caused by uneven local stress.

[0090] The sidewall 3321 of the space frame extends along a curved trajectory that matches the wet membrane 331 and engages with the corresponding track 3131, enhancing the connection strength between the space frame 332 and the track 3131. This also allows the wet membrane 331 to fit tightly against the track 3131 during installation, further improving the structural stability. Furthermore, the sidewall 3321 of the space frame 332 provides excellent protection for the wet membrane 331. The wet membrane 331 is prone to deformation in a wet state, and the presence of the space frame 332 effectively maintains the shape of the wet membrane 331, preventing it from expanding or contracting due to moisture, thereby extending the service life of the wet membrane 331.

[0091] In the embodiments of this application, the form of the space frame sidewall 3321 is not limited. For example, the space frame sidewall 3321 can be a single piece of side panel or a perforated side panel. For example, Figure 10 As shown, the side wall 3321 of the grid structure is composed of multiple trusses connected to both sides of the horizontal cross section of the wet membrane 331 in the width direction, so that the side of the wet membrane 331 is exposed to the air. This not only provides good protection for the side of the wet membrane 331, but also increases the contact area between the wet membrane 331 and the air to be humidified during the humidification process, thereby improving the humidification efficiency.

[0092] In some embodiments, see Figure 10 The wet film assembly 33 includes a mesh frame 332, which defines a mounting cavity 332b that mates with the wet film 331. Figure 6 and Figure 10 The end of the grid frame 332 facing the water storage tank 3221 is open to form an installation port 332c, through which the wet membrane 331 is detachably installed in the installation cavity 332b.

[0093] In the above technical solution, the mounting cavity 332b defined by the mesh frame 332 is matched with the wet membrane 331, meaning that the shape and size of the mounting cavity 332b are perfectly matched with the wet membrane 331. This ensures that the wet membrane 331 remains stable after installation and is not easily detached or displaced, thus guaranteeing the normal operation of the humidification module 3. The end of the mesh frame 332 facing the water storage tank 3221 is open to form the mounting port 332c, which facilitates the operation of the wet membrane 331 during installation and disassembly. In addition, the mounting port 332c also functions as a water inlet 332a. After installation, the wet membrane 331 can come into contact with water through the mounting port 332c to achieve the humidification function. The wet membrane 331 is detachably installed in the mounting cavity 332b through the mounting port 332c. Thus, the wet membrane 331 can be easily installed and disassembled through the mounting port 332c, which simplifies the installation process of the wet membrane 331 and improves the maintenance convenience of the equipment.

[0094] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 , Figure 10and Figure 11 The two sides of the horizontal cross section of the wet membrane 331 along the length direction are the two transverse sides of the wet membrane 331, and the two sides of the horizontal cross section of the wet membrane 331 along the width direction are the upstream and downstream ventilation sides of the wet membrane 331; the grid frame 332 includes grid frame sidewalls 3321 located on the transverse sides of the wet membrane 331, and grid frame retaining ribs 3322 located on the upstream and downstream ventilation sides of the wet membrane 331, the grid frame retaining ribs 3322 are connected between the two sides of the grid frame sidewalls 3321, and the grid frame retaining ribs 3322 are positioned relative to the wet membrane 331.

[0095] In the above technical solution, the upstream and downstream sides of the humidification membrane 331 are determined by the airflow direction, with the upstream side being the side through which air flows first and the downstream side being the side through which air flows last. By setting mesh frame baffles 3322 on the upstream and downstream sides of the humidification membrane 331 to fix the humidification membrane 331, the humidification membrane 331 is well fixed on both sides, and the obstruction of the ventilation area of ​​the humidification membrane 331 by the mesh frame baffles 3322 is reduced, allowing air to pass through the humidification membrane 331 more smoothly and improving humidification efficiency. The space frame retaining ribs 3322 connect between the two side walls 3321 of the space frame, providing support for the retaining ribs 3322 in the width direction of the horizontal cross-section of the wet membrane 331, and constraining the side walls 3321 in the length direction of the horizontal cross-section of the wet membrane 331. This improves the overall structural stability. Through the synergistic effect of the side walls 3321 and the retaining ribs 3322, the wet membrane 331 receives comprehensive support, helping to extend its service life. The form-fit design of the relative positions of the retaining ribs 3322 and the wet membrane 331 ensures that the wet membrane 331 can be accurately and stably confined within the space frame 332 during installation, reducing the possibility of performance degradation or damage due to improper installation.

[0096] In the embodiments of this application, the form of the space frame retaining rib 3322 is not limited; for example, such as... Figure 10As shown, the space frame 332 may include a space frame end plate and a space frame outer frame. The wet membrane 331 is disposed in the mounting cavity 332b formed by the space frame outer frame. The space frame outer frame may include the aforementioned space frame side wall 3321 and space frame retaining ribs 3322. The upper end of the space frame side wall 3321 is connected to both sides of the space frame end plate. The space frame retaining ribs 3322 may include an upper space frame retaining rib 33221 and a lower space frame retaining rib 33222 located on the ventilation upstream and downstream sides of the wet membrane 331, respectively. The space frame retaining ribs 3322 have a T-shaped structure. The three connection points of the T-shape of the upper space frame retaining rib 3322 are respectively connected to the two space frame side walls 3321 and the mounting opening 332c. The three connection points of the T-shape of the lower space frame retaining rib 3322 are respectively connected to the two space frame side walls 3321 and the space frame end plate. Therefore, the space frame retaining ribs 3322 divide the upper and lower ventilation surfaces of the wet membrane 331 into multiple open areas, which not only reduces the obstruction of the ventilation area of ​​the wet membrane 331, but also ensures that the various parts of the space frame 332 are well connected, forming a stable connection structure, enhancing the structural stability of the space frame 332, and providing good protection and support for the wet membrane 331.

[0097] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 12 An insertion port 31b is formed on the air duct frame 31. The wet membrane assembly 33 extends into the humidifying air duct 31a through the insertion port 31b. The water tray 32 includes a support wall 32211 and a retaining wall 32212. The water storage tank 3221 is defined between the support wall 32211 and the retaining wall 32212. The support wall 32211 is located on the side of the retaining wall 32212 near the insertion port 31b. The support wall 32211 extends upward at an angle from below the lower end of the wet membrane 331 toward the insertion port 31b.

[0098] In the above technical solution, the insertion port 31b on the air duct frame 31 allows the wet film assembly 33 to be easily inserted into or removed from the humidification air duct 31a, which simplifies the installation and replacement process of the wet film assembly 33 and improves the maintenance efficiency of the equipment.

[0099] The support wall 32211 extends upward at an angle from below the lower end of the wet membrane 331. Its angle of inclination is consistent with the angle at which the wet membrane assembly 33 is inserted. During the installation of the wet membrane assembly 33, the support wall 32211 serves to guide the wet membrane assembly 33 into the water storage tank 3221. After the wet membrane assembly 33 extends into the humidification air duct 31a through the insertion port 31b, it continues to extend downward along the guide rail structure 313. When the lower end of the wet membrane 331 contacts the support wall 32211, it can smoothly slide into the water storage tank 3221 along the inclined surface of the support wall 32211, thereby reducing the impact of the wet membrane 331 during installation and improving the installation efficiency. After the wet membrane assembly 33 is installed in place, the support wall 32211 provides stable support, reducing the displacement or shaking of the wet membrane assembly 33 during humidification, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the humidification effect.

[0100] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 6 and Figure 10 The lower part of the mesh frame 332 is provided with a water inlet 332a, which is located between the supporting wall 32211 and the wet membrane 331. Therefore, the wet membrane 331 can not only absorb water through the mounting port 332c, but also directly absorb water from the water storage tank 3221 through the water inlet 332a, further increasing the water absorption area of ​​the wet membrane 331 while ensuring the supporting strength of the mesh frame 332.

[0101] In the embodiments of this application, the shape and number of water inlets 332a are not limited. The shape of water inlets 332a can be rectangular, circular, etc., and the number of water inlets 332a can be one or more.

[0102] For example, combined Figure 6 and Figure 10 The width of the horizontal section of the wet membrane 331 faces the support wall 32211, and a rectangular inlet 332a is opened on the part of the mesh frame 332 located between the wet membrane 331 and the support wall 32211.

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 The water-holding tray 32 defines a vent 324 extending vertically. The water-holding tray 32 includes a front portion 321 located in front of the vent 324, a rear portion 322 located behind the vent 324, and side portions 323 located on the left and right sides of the vent 324. The front portion 321 defines a water inlet 3211, the rear portion 322 defines a water storage tank 3221, and there are two side portions 323 located on the left and right sides of the vent 324. The front and rear ends of each side portion 323 are connected to the front portion 321 and the rear portion 322, respectively. At least one side portion 323 defines a connecting pool 3231 that connects the water inlet 3211 and the water storage tank 3221. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air duct frame 31 includes a front wall 311 and a rear wall 312. The humidifying air duct 31a is defined between the front wall 311 and the rear wall 312 and is open at the bottom to communicate with the vent 324. An insertion port 31b is formed on the front wall 311. The wet film assembly 33 extends into the humidifying air duct 31a through the insertion port 31b. The humidifying module 3 also includes a water tank 34, which is located on the front side of the front wall 311 and above the front part 321 of the water tray to fill the water tank 3211 with water.

[0104] The front wall 311 of the duct frame 31 has an insertion port 31b, which allows the wet film assembly 33 to be easily installed and removed without complicated operations or tools, reducing maintenance costs and time. At the same time, since the wet film assembly 33 is installed inside the duct frame 31, a relatively enclosed space is formed, reducing water evaporation and waste during the humidification process.

[0105] The water tank 34 is located on the front side of the front wall 311 of the frame and above the front part 321 of the water tray. This allows water from the water tank 34 into the water filling pool 3211 to flow to the water storage pool 3221, thus preventing the water tank 34 from occupying space above the water storage pool 3221 and interfering with the wet film assembly 33. Furthermore, the compact design, with the front part 321, the side part 323, and the rear part 322 of the water tray surrounding the vent 324, not only saves space but also makes the humidification system easier to install and maintain.

[0106] For example, such as Figure 12 As shown, the water tray 32 is U-shaped, with the front part 321 and the rear part 322 of the water tray arranged opposite each other in the front-to-back direction. The front and rear ends of the two water tray side parts 323 are connected to the front part 321 and the rear part 322 of the water tray, respectively. The water tray side part 323 on the right side of the vent 324 defines a connecting pool 3231 that connects the water injection pool 3211 and the water storage pool 3221. When in use, the water in the water injection pool 3211 flows to the water storage pool 3221 through the connecting pool 3231 to supply water to the wet membrane assembly 33.

[0107] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air handling component 100 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0108] like Figure 13 As shown, the air handling unit 100 includes a fresh air module 1 and a humidification module 3 according to any embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model. The fresh air module 1 is connected upstream of the humidification module 3. "Downstream" refers to the position reached after the airflow passes through the direction.

[0109] In some embodiments, such as Figure 13 As shown, the air handling unit 100 also includes a purification module 2, which is connected between the fresh air module 1 and the humidification module 3.

[0110] The fresh air module 1, purification module 2, and humidification module 3 can be arranged sequentially along the airflow direction. The airflow introduced by the fresh air module 1 can first flow through the purification module 2 and then through the humidification module 3. Based on the type selection and activation control of the purification module 2 and the humidification module 3, at least one of humidification and purification can be achieved.

[0111] Therefore, by using the humidification module 3 described above, the humidification efficiency and humidification uniformity of the air handling unit 100 can be improved.

[0112] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 200 according to a third aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0113] See Figure 14 and Figure 15 The air conditioner 200 includes a humidification module 3 according to any embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention or an air handling unit 100 according to any embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention. That is, the air conditioner 200 may include the air handling unit 100 of the above form, or it may not include the air handling unit 100 of the above form, but only include the humidification module 3.

[0114] Therefore, by using the humidification module 3 or the air handling unit 100 described above, the humidification performance of the air conditioner 200 can be improved.

[0115] For example, combined Figure 14 and Figure 15 When the air conditioner 200 includes an air handling unit 100, the air conditioner 200 may also include a ventilation and heat exchange unit 4. The ventilation and heat exchange unit 4 may include a fan and a heat exchanger. When the ventilation and heat exchange unit 4 is working, the fan introduces indoor air from the air conditioner air inlet, and after the introduced air exchanges heat with the heat exchanger, it is blown out from the air conditioner air outlet and sent back to the room, thereby playing the role of regulating the indoor temperature.

[0116] The type of air conditioner 200 is not limited. For example, it can be an integrated air conditioner (such as a kitchen air conditioner, portable air conditioner, window air conditioner, etc.) or a split air conditioner (such as a split wall-mounted unit, split floor-standing unit, etc.). Once the type of air conditioner 200 is determined, the relative positions of the air handling unit 100 and the ventilation and heat exchange unit 4 can be known. For example, when the air conditioner 200 is a floor-standing unit, the ventilation and heat exchange unit 4 can be located above the air handling unit 100.

[0117] Other components of the air conditioner 200 according to the present invention, such as air duct components and panel components, as well as its operation, are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
