[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the present application shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0023] The term "and / or" in the present application is only used to describe the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B can mean that A exists alone, A and B exist together, and B exists alone.

[0024] The terms "first" and "second" and the like in the description and claims of the embodiments of the present application are used to distinguish different objects, and are not used to describe the specific order of the objects. For example, the first target object and the second target object are used to distinguish different target objects, and are not used to describe the specific order of the target objects.

[0025] In the embodiments of the present application, the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to mean an example, illustration or description. Any embodiment or design scheme described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or design schemes. Rather, the words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are intended to present the relevant concept in a specific manner.

[0026] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application, and are not used to limit the present application.

[0027] Under the trend of upgrading of automobile consumption, with the continuous improvement of the intelligence degree of vehicles, users have higher and higher requirements for the driving comfort of vehicles. For example, users not only pay attention to the interior of vehicles, but also pay attention to the technological configuration in vehicles, and also put forward higher requirements for the air quality in vehicles. The traditional temperature control and fresh air system cannot completely meet the requirements of users for the air quality in vehicles, and users expect to have a more comfortable in-vehicle environment experience.

[0028] The humidity inside a vehicle is a key factor in measuring air quality, which has a direct impact on the comfort and health of users. Suitable humidity can improve the user's thermal comfort, while too low humidity can cause users to feel uncomfortable and may affect the user's health. For example, when the air conditioner of a car is turned on in cooling mode, the air conditioner will condense the water vapor in the air, thereby reducing the humidity inside the car. As the air conditioner runs for a longer time, the humidity inside the car will gradually decrease, because the air conditioner continuously absorbs moisture from the air, causing the air inside the car to become drier and the user to feel drier, thus feeling uncomfortable.

[0029] In the related art, a vehicle-mounted humidifier can be configured in a vehicle to be started when the user feels dry, so as to increase the humidity inside the vehicle. In order to ensure the humidification water of the vehicle-mounted humidifier, a backup water tank is generally configured for the vehicle-mounted humidifier, and the water in the water tank is pumped into the vehicle-mounted humidifier by a water pump, so as to avoid the user's constant attention to the water amount, thereby affecting the user's driving experience.

[0030] However, due to the limited space in the vehicle, the design of the pump for supplying water to the humidification device will make the vehicle-mounted humidification structure more complex. This complexity may affect its installation in the vehicle, and at the same time, the complex vehicle-mounted humidification structure will also bring higher maintenance cost, thereby affecting the user's use experience.

[0031] Based on the above problems, combined with the Figures 1 to 2 , the vehicle humidification system is described. As shown in Figure 1 , the present application proposes a vehicle humidification system 100, which is applied to a vehicle. The vehicle humidification system 100 can include a humidification device 110 and a water collecting tank 120. The water collecting tank 120 can be connected to the humidification device 110 through a capillary tube.

[0032] Figure 2 is a structure diagram of a humidification device 110 proposed in an embodiment of the present application. As shown in Figure 2 , the humidification device 110 can include a humidification controller 1110, a humidification component 1120, and a humidification container 1130. The humidification controller 1110 can be connected to the humidification component. The humidification controller 1110 can control whether the humidification component 1120 is in a working state. That is, when the humidification component 1120 is in a working state, the humidification controller 1110 can control the humidification component 1120 to use the humidification water in the humidification container 1130 to humidify the vehicle.

[0033] Optionally, the humidification device 110 can be self-provided when the vehicle is shipped. Alternatively, the humidification device 110 can also be configured by the user.

[0034] Optionally, the water collecting tank 120 can be connected with the humidifying container 1130, and the water collecting tank 120 can provide humidifying water for the humidifying container 1130.

[0035] Optionally, the top of the humidifying container 1130 can be provided with a water supplementing port, and the water supplementing port can be used for manually supplementing water to the humidifying container to ensure that the humidifying device 110 can work normally.

[0036] Optionally, the top of the water collecting tank 120 can be provided with a water filling port, and the water filling port can be used for manually supplementing water to the water collecting tank to ensure that the humidifying water in the humidifying container 1130 is normal, and thus ensure that the humidifying device 110 can work normally.

[0037] The water collecting tank 120 can be connected with the humidifying container 1130 through a capillary tube. In the embodiment of the present application, the capillary tube can be used to guide the humidifying water in the water collecting tank 120 into the humidifying container 1130 through capillary action, and the humidifying controller 1110 can control the humidifying component 1120 to use the humidifying water to humidify the vehicle.

[0038] The capillary tube refers to a pipe with very small inner diameter, which is usually used for transmitting liquid. The diameter of the capillary tube is generally between several microns and several millimeters, and its working principle mainly depends on capillary action. The capillary action of the capillary tube can also be called capillary phenomenon or capillary action, that is, the phenomenon that liquid rises or falls in a tubular object due to the difference between cohesive force and adhesive force, overcoming gravity. Therefore, it can be understood that through capillary action, the capillary tube can realize automatic transmission of liquid without external power such as a water pump. The capillary tube can also be considered as an active water feeding component.

[0039] Optionally, one end of the capillary tube can extend into the water collecting tank 120, and the other end of the capillary tube can extend into the humidifying container 1130. The capillary tube can connect the water collecting tank 120 and the humidifying container 1130, and guide the humidifying water in the water collecting tank 120 into the humidifying container 1130 through capillary action.

[0040] The vehicle humidifying system provided in the embodiment of the present application can guide the humidifying water in the water collecting tank into the humidifying container through the capillary tube, which can ensure the water source of the humidifying device, simplify the vehicle-mounted humidifying structure, improve the system stability and maintenance convenience, and at the same time, since the price of the capillary tube is generally lower than that of the water pump, the use of the capillary tube in the vehicle humidifying system can effectively reduce the overall cost of the system.

[0041] In some embodiments, a suitable capillary tube can be selected according to the water flow demand of the water collecting tank to the humidifying container. The water flow transported by the capillary tube through capillary action is closely related to the characteristics of the capillary tube. The characteristics of the capillary tube can include one or more of the following: the pore size of the capillary tube, the length of the capillary tube, and the pipetting distance of the capillary tube.

[0042] The pore size of the capillary tube refers to the diameter of the inside of the capillary tube. Exemplarily, the pore size of the capillary tube can determine the resistance of the liquid flow. For example, the smaller the pore size of the capillary tube, the greater the resistance of the liquid flow, the slower the liquid flow rate, and the smaller the water flow of the liquid; the greater the pore size of the capillary tube, the smaller the resistance of the liquid flow, the faster the liquid flow rate, and the greater the water flow of the liquid.

[0043] The length of the capillary tube can be inversely proportional to the water flow of the liquid, because a longer capillary tube increases the resistance of the liquid flow, thereby reducing the water flow of the liquid. Exemplarily, under the premise that other parameters remain unchanged, the longer the capillary tube, the smaller the water flow of the liquid.

[0044] The pipetting distance of the capillary tube can be understood as the longest distance that the liquid can be effectively moved in the capillary tube. Exemplarily, the smaller the pore size of the capillary tube, the longer the pipetting distance of the capillary tube; the greater the pore size of the capillary tube, the smaller the pipetting distance of the capillary tube.

[0045] In the implementation of the present application, a suitable capillary tube can be selected according to the water flow size of the humidification device as needed.

[0046] The capillary action of the capillary tube can realize the function of automatic water feeding, that is, it can automatically realize the introduction of humidification water from the water collecting tank to the humidification container. However, when the capacity of the humidification container is less than that of the water collecting tank, or when the humidification container and the water collecting tank are both filled with water, the capillary tube can still introduce humidification water from the water collecting tank to the humidification container. In this case, the humidification container can overflow, thereby causing a safety hazard to other electrical equipment on the vehicle.

[0047] Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, the humidification container can include a liquid level sensor, and the humidification controller can be connected with the liquid level sensor, so as to obtain the liquid level in the humidification container. The humidification device can further include a solenoid valve, which can be connected with the humidification controller.

[0048] Exemplarily, when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the humidification container is lower than the high limit liquid level, the humidification controller can control the solenoid valve to open, so that the capillary tube is in a state of allowing liquid to be introduced; when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level in the humidification container is higher than or equal to the high limit liquid level, the humidification controller can control the solenoid valve to close, so that the capillary tube is in a state of not allowing liquid to be introduced. The high limit liquid level can be understood as the liquid level when the humidification container is full, indicating the highest limit of the liquid in the container.

[0049] When the liquid level in the humidification container is lower than the high limit liquid level, the humidification controller can control the electromagnetic valve to open, so that the capillary tube normally guides the humidification water in the water collecting tank into the humidification container; when the liquid level in the humidification container is equal to or higher than the high limit liquid level, the humidification controller can control the electromagnetic valve to close, so that the capillary tube can no longer guide the humidification water in the water collecting tank into the humidification container.

[0050] In some embodiments, the vehicle can further include an air conditioning box, and the water collecting tank can be arranged below the air conditioning box. The water collecting tank can be connected with the air conditioning box through a water collecting pipe to collect the condensate water generated by the air conditioning box during refrigeration operation. Illustratively, the air conditioning box can include an evaporator. For example, when the air conditioning box is in refrigeration operation, external air enters the air blower, and the air blower pushes the air to flow through the evaporator. In this process, the external air exchanges heat with the refrigerant in the evaporator, and on the surface of the evaporator, the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets to form condensate water. These condensate water eventually drain out of the air conditioning box.

[0051] In some embodiments, the water collecting tank can be arranged below the air conditioning box, and the water collecting tank and the air conditioning box can be connected through a water collecting pipe to receive the condensate water generated by the air conditioning box during refrigeration. The condensate water can flow into the water collecting tank through the water collecting pipe, so that it can be used as humidification water for the humidification device for vehicle humidification.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, for the source of humidification water of the vehicle humidification device, the condensate water generated from the air conditioning operation can be collected into the water collecting tank through the water collecting pipe, so that it enters the vehicle humidification system, and the condensate water is used as a supplementary water source for the humidification device, reducing the consumption required for additional humidification water, and improving the overall efficiency.

[0053] In some embodiments, the air conditioning box can include an air blower. Wherein one end of the water collecting pipe can be located at the air inlet of the air blower, and the other end of the water collecting pipe can be connected with the water collecting tank.

[0054] Illustratively, the condensate water on the evaporator can flow along the direction of the air flow of the air blower under the action of the air pressure of the air blower. Therefore, one end of the water collecting pipe can be arranged at the air inlet position of the air blower, and the air pressure generated by the air blower can be used to fully push the condensate water generated by the evaporator into the water collecting pipe.

[0055] In some embodiments, the water collecting tank can be arranged below the air conditioning box, and the water collecting tank and the air conditioning box can be connected through a water collecting pipe to receive the condensate water generated by the air conditioning box during refrigeration. The condensate water can flow into the water collecting tank through the water collecting pipe, so that it can be used as humidification water for the humidification device for vehicle humidification. Figure 3For example, the water collecting tank can be arranged below the air conditioning tank, and the air conditioning tank can include an evaporator and a blower. When the air conditioner is in cooling operation, condensate water is formed on the evaporator. The air pressure generated by the blower can cause the condensate water to flow along the surface of the evaporator. The presence of the evaporator can affect the direction of the air generated by the blower, and the condensate water can flow towards the air outlet of the blower. For example, when the blower is arranged on one side of the evaporator, the air of the blower acts on the evaporator. Due to the influence of the evaporator, the direction of the air of the blower changes, and the condensate water flows downward under the action of the air pressure of the blower. At this time, it can be considered that the direction of the air of the blower is downward, Figure 3 The position of the water collecting pipe can be the air outlet position of the blower at this time.

[0056] In the embodiments of the present application, the water collecting tank can guide the condensate water generated by the air conditioning tank into the water collecting tank through the water collecting pipe. The condensate water can be used as humidification water. When the air conditioning tank is in operation, the blower can generate air pressure. Under the action of the air pressure of the blower, the condensate water attached to the air conditioning tank flows in the direction of the air outlet of the blower, and finally converges into the water collecting pipe and is collected in the water collecting tank as a water source for humidification.

[0057] In some embodiments, the water collecting tank can include an overflow device. For example, the overflow device can include an overflow valve and a drain pipe. The overflow valve can be connected with the drain pipe to guide the humidification water exceeding the preset water level in the water collecting tank out of the vehicle, or guide the humidification water exceeding the preset water level into other water using devices of the vehicle.

[0058] In some embodiments, the preset water level can be determined by the position of the overflow valve in the water collecting tank. In some embodiments, the opening or closing of the overflow valve is controlled by the water level. That is, when the water level in the water collecting tank reaches the position set by the overflow valve, the overflow valve is opened. For example, when the position of the overflow valve is in the middle of the water collecting tank, the preset water level is the middle of the water collecting tank. If the position of the overflow valve is set at the top of the water collecting tank, the preset water level can be understood as the position of the water collecting tank being full.

[0059] For example, when the vehicle is driven in summer, the user turns on the air conditioner during the operation of the vehicle to reduce the temperature in the vehicle. The evaporator in the air conditioning tank will generate more condensate water. When the capacity of the water collecting tank is limited, the condensate water can exceed the capacity of the water collecting tank, and the overflow of the condensate water can cause a safety hazard to the vehicle. Therefore, when the water level in the water collecting tank reaches the preset water level, the condensate water can be discharged from the water collecting tank through the overflow valve. When the condensate water is discharged through the overflow valve, it can be guided out of the vehicle through the drain pipe to avoid the overflow of the condensate water affecting other devices inside the vehicle, thereby causing risks. It can also be guided into other water using devices of the vehicle through the drain pipe. For example, the cooling device of the engine of the vehicle needs liquid flow to cool down; or the thermal management device of the new energy vehicle needs liquid to cool down the vehicle.

[0060] As shown in Figure 4 , the overflow valve can be arranged in the upper half of the water collecting tank, and the preset water level can be determined by the position of the overflow valve in the water collecting tank, i.e., the horizontal position of the overflow valve in the water collecting tank is the preset water level.

[0061] In some embodiments, the water collecting tank can further include a pressure balance hole. The pressure balance hole can balance the pressure inside the water collecting tank and the pressure outside the water collecting tank, so as to avoid the imbalance of the pressure inside and outside the water collecting tank, and ensure that the vehicle humidification system can work normally.

[0062] In some embodiments, the bottom position of the water collecting tank is lower than the bottom position of the humidification device. As shown in Figure 5 , the bottom position of the water collecting tank is lower than the bottom position of the humidification device. By the capillary action of the capillary tube, the humidification water in the water collecting tank can be poured into the humidification container of the humidification device.

[0063] Since the capillary action of the capillary tube can realize automatic transmission of liquid, if the bottom position of the water collecting tank is higher than or equal to the bottom position of the humidification device, it can cause the capillary tube to fail to normally guide the water in the water collecting tank to the humidification container. For example, the capillary tube relies on the capillary phenomenon to move the liquid in the tube, and generally the humidification water in the water collecting tank flows to the humidification device under the action of the capillary force. When the water collecting tank is higher, it can cause the humidification water to flow in the opposite direction, so that the humidification water in the humidification device is guided into the water collecting tank, causing the humidification device to fail to work normally.

[0064] For example, the embodiments of the present application are described. Figure 5

[0065] Figure 5 The humidification device in the vehicle can be arranged in the vehicle. The humidification device can humidify the vehicle through the humidification outlet. Optionally, the humidification outlet can be the vehicle air conditioning outlet. Optionally, the humidification outlet can be a separately arranged outlet, which can be arranged on the top of the vehicle or arranged together with the vehicle air conditioning outlet.

[0066] Figure 5 The air conditioning tank further includes an air blower, and the water collecting tank is arranged below the air conditioning tank and connected to the air conditioning tank through a water collecting pipe. One end of the water collecting pipe can be located at the air inlet of the air blower, and the other end of the water collecting pipe can be connected to the water collecting tank.

[0067] Figure 5 The humidification device includes a humidification container, a humidification component, a humidification controller, and an electromagnetic valve, and the humidification container further includes a liquid level sensor. The water collecting tank is connected to the humidification container through a capillary tube.

[0068] ​In some embodiments, when the vehicle is driven in a region with high external environment temperature, the user can turn on the air conditioner to reduce the temperature of the vehicle cabin, and at the same time, the humidifying device can be started to humidify the vehicle cabin.

[0069] When the air conditioner generates condensate water during refrigeration, the air pressure generated by the blower fan can fully push the condensate water into the water collecting pipe. The water collecting tank collects the condensate water through the water collecting pipe as humidifying water for the humidifying device.

[0070] The humidification controller obtains the liquid level of the humidification container according to the liquid level sensor. When the liquid level of the humidification container is lower than the limit liquid level of its capacity, the humidification controller can control the electromagnetic valve to open, so that the humidification container can guide the condensate water in the water collecting tank into the humidification container through the capillary tube as humidifying water for the vehicle cabin.

[0071] Optionally, the water collecting tank can include an overflow device, which can include an overflow valve and a drain pipe. When the liquid level of the condensate water in the water collecting tank is higher than the preset water level, the overflow valve can be opened to guide the excess condensate water out of the water collecting tank through the drain pipe. The excess condensate water can be guided out of the vehicle through the drain pipe, or guided into other water using devices of the vehicle through the drain pipe.

[0072] In some embodiments, when the vehicle is driven in a region with normal external environment temperature, the user only turns on the humidifying device to humidify the vehicle cabin. When the condensate water in the water collecting tank is insufficient, the user can manually supplement the water collecting tank through the water inlet of the water collecting tank to ensure that the humidifying device can work normally. Optionally, the user can also manually supplement the humidification container through the water supplement inlet of the humidification container.

[0073] In some embodiments, the vehicle can include a measurement control system, which can include a control chip connected with the liquid level sensor to obtain the liquid level in the humidification container. At the same time, the control chip can be connected with the humidification controller in the humidifying device, and the control chip can control whether the humidification controller starts to work according to the liquid level of the humidification container.

[0074] For example, when the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level of the humidification container is lower than the working liquid level, the control chip can be used to control the humidification controller to be in a stop working state. When the liquid level sensor detects that the liquid level of the humidification container is higher than or equal to the working liquid level, the control chip can be used to control the humidification controller to be in a working state. The working liquid level can be understood as the minimum liquid level at which the humidifying device can work normally.

[0075] Since the embodiment of the present application introduces the humidification water in the water collecting tank into the humidification container through the capillary, if the introduction speed of the capillary is less than the speed of the humidification device using the humidification water, the liquid level in the humidification container will be lower than the working liquid level, which will cause the humidification device to fail to work normally. Therefore, when the liquid level in the humidification container is lower than the working liquid level, the control chip can control the humidification controller to stop working, so as to avoid the system loss caused by the continuous working of the humidification device in the case of insufficient humidification water.

[0076] In some embodiments, the control chip can also control the adjustment of the humidification level of the humidification device. The humidification level can be understood as the quantitative classification of the amount of water vapor output by the humidification device, which is adjusted by the control chip to meet different in-vehicle humidity environment requirements and improve user comfort. For example, when the humidification controller is working, the control chip can adjust the humidification level according to the liquid level information of the water collecting tank. For example, when the liquid level of the water collecting tank is high, the humidification level can be adjusted to be larger; and when the liquid level of the water collecting tank is low, the humidification level can be adjusted to be smaller.

[0077] In some embodiments, the measurement control system can be connected with the central control screen of the vehicle. The central control screen of the vehicle can display the function of whether the humidification device is turned on, and the user can control the turning on or off of the humidification device through the measurement control system by clicking the function icon. Alternatively, the humidification level of the humidification device can also be adjusted in the central control screen of the vehicle. The user can set the humidification level of the humidification device while turning on the vehicle humidification device through the central control screen, so as to humidify the vehicle.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present application, by introducing the measurement control system, the linkage between the humidification system of the vehicle and the vehicle control system can be realized, so as to provide convenience for the humidification needs of the user, so that the user can obtain a more intelligent experience. The working of the humidification device can also be controlled according to the system resources, so as to avoid system loss.

[0079] In some embodiments, the vehicle cabin can include a humidity sensor, which can monitor the humidity inside the vehicle in real time. For example, the control chip in the measurement control system described above can be connected with the humidity sensor to obtain the humidity inside the vehicle.

[0080] For example, the measurement control system can obtain the humidity inside the vehicle through the humidity sensor, and determine whether to start the humidifying device according to the humidity inside the vehicle. For example, when the humidity inside the vehicle cabin is too low, and it is confirmed that the liquid level of the water tank is normal, the humidifying device can be supported to work normally. Therefore, the measurement control system can control the humidifying controller to humidify the vehicle through the control chip. Alternatively, when the humidifying device works for a period of time, the humidity inside the vehicle has reached a comfortable state, and at this time, the measurement control system considers that the humidity inside the vehicle cabin has reached a comfortable humidity, and can control the humidifying controller to stop humidifying the vehicle through the control chip.

[0081] In the embodiments of the present application, the measurement control system can be linked with the humidity sensor in the vehicle, and the measurement control system can control the humidifying device to work or not to work, so as to accurately control the humidity in the vehicle. For example, when the humidity in the vehicle is low, the measurement control system can start the humidifying device to humidify the vehicle; or when the humidity in the vehicle is high, the measurement control system can turn off the humidifying device.

[0082] In some embodiments, the humidifying component in the humidifying device can include an activated carbon filter element, which can filter the humidifying water to ensure the quality of the humidifying water. For example, the humidifying component can be arranged at the bottom of the humidifying device, and the activated carbon filter element can be arranged on the humidifying component and tightly combined with the upper end of the capillary tube. When the condensed water generated by the air conditioning tank is used as the humidifying water, there may be odors in the condensed water, or the condensed water may include dissolved air conditioning solder. By using the activated carbon filter element, the air conditioning solder in the condensed water can be filtered, and the odor can be adsorbed, thereby improving the purity of the condensed water. Using the filtered condensed water as the humidifying water can improve the water quality of the humidifying water and ensure that the humidifying water is beneficial to the health of the user.

[0083] In some embodiments, the humidifying component in the humidifying device can include a fragrance. The fragrance can create a pleasant and comfortable environment for the cockpit, which can help improve the driving and riding experience. For example, some fragrance ingredients have the characteristics of antibacterial and air purification, which can help reduce bacteria and viruses in the vehicle and be beneficial to the health of the user.

[0084] In some embodiments, the humidifying component in the humidifying device can include a negative ion generator. The negative ion generator can add negative ions to the mist droplets after the mist droplets are formed during the humidification process of the humidifying component, to form hydrophilic negative ion particles. The negative ions can purify the air, remove dust, and kill bacteria, thereby improving the air quality in the vehicle cabin.

[0085] In some embodiments, the humidifying component in the humidifying device can further include an ultrasonic generator. The ultrasonic generator can be used to activate the humidifying water, atomize water molecules into mist-like fine droplets through a vibrating plate, and release them into the air to humidify the vehicle interior, thereby increasing the comfort of the vehicle interior.

[0086] In embodiments of the present application, by providing an activated carbon filter, a fragrance, an ultrasonic generator, and a negative ion generator in the humidifying component of the humidifying device, the air quality in the vehicle interior can be improved, providing users with a more comfortable experience.

[0087] The following will be described in detail with Figure 6 as an example.

[0088] Figure 6 The humidifying device in the air conditioning box can be provided in the vehicle. The humidifying device can humidify the vehicle through the humidifying outlet. The humidifying device can include a humidifying container, a humidifying component, a humidifying controller, and a solenoid valve, and the humidifying container further includes a liquid level sensor. The humidifying water tank is connected to the humidifying container through a capillary tube. The humidifying component can include an activated carbon filter and a fragrance.

[0089] Figure 6 The air conditioning box includes a blower, and the water collecting tank is arranged below the air conditioning box and connected to the air conditioning box through a water collecting pipe. One end of the water collecting pipe can be located at the air inlet of the blower, and the other end of the water collecting pipe can be connected to the water collecting tank.

[0090] When the air conditioner starts to cool, condensate water is generated, and the air pressure generated by the blower pushes the condensate water generated by the air conditioning box into the water collecting pipe. At the same time, under the action of the air pressure, the condensate water in the water collecting pipe can also be pushed into the water collecting tank through the water collecting pipe, as humidifying water for the humidifying device.

[0091] The humidifying controller can obtain the liquid level of the humidifying container according to the liquid level sensor. When the liquid level of the humidifying container is lower than the limit liquid level of its capacity, the humidifying controller can control the solenoid valve to open, so that the humidifying container can guide the condensate water in the water collecting tank into the humidifying container through the capillary tube as humidifying water for humidifying the vehicle cabin.

[0092] When the condensate water in the water collecting tank is guided into the humidifying container through the capillary tube, the activated carbon filter in the humidifying component can filter the condensate water, thereby improving the purity of the humidifying water. At the same time, the fragrance in the humidifying component can emit fragrance during the humidification process controlled by the humidifying controller. The fragrance component can have the characteristics of antibacterial and air purification, which can help purify the air in the vehicle cabin.

[0093] Optionally, the humidifying component can include a negative ion generator, which can add negative ions to the humidification process when the humidification device is working, forming hydrophilic negative ion particles, which can purify the air inside the vehicle.

[0094] Optionally, the humidifying component can further include an ultrasonic generator, which can atomize water molecules into mist-like fine droplets by vibrating the diaphragm, thereby improving user experience.

[0095] In some embodiments, the vehicle further includes a measurement control system, which can include a control chip connected to the liquid level sensor to obtain the liquid level of the humidification container. Meanwhile, the control chip can be connected to the humidification controller in the humidification device. When the control chip obtains the liquid level of the humidification container, the humidification controller can control the humidification of the vehicle according to the liquid level of the water collection tank.

[0096] In some embodiments, the vehicle interior can further include a humidity sensor. The control chip in the measurement control system can be connected to the humidity sensor to obtain the humidity inside the vehicle. When the control chip obtains a humidity value inside the vehicle that reaches a certain threshold, it can determine whether to start the vehicle humidification according to the obtained liquid level of the humidification container.

[0097] In some embodiments, when the humidifying component includes a negative ion generator and an ultrasonic generator, the measurement control system can further control the opening or closing of the negative ion generator and the ultrasonic generator.

[0098] The vehicle humidification system proposed in the embodiments of the present application can guide the humidification water in the water collection tank into the humidification container through the capillary tube, which can ensure the water source of the humidification device while simplifying the vehicle-mounted humidification structure, improving the system stability and maintenance convenience. At the same time, since the price of the capillary tube is generally lower than that of the water pump, using the capillary tube in the vehicle humidification system can effectively reduce the overall cost of the system.
