[0070] 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.

[0071] 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.

[0072] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, a humidification module 12 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0073] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The humidification module 12 includes a water tray 121, a motor 1271, and an air duct frame 122. The water tray 121 includes a front portion 1211 and a first side portion 1213. The first side portion 1213 extends rearward from one of the left or right ends of the front portion 1211 (for example, the first side portion 1213 can extend rearward from the left end of the front portion 1211, or it can extend rearward from the right end of the front portion 1211). Figure 3 and Figure 4 A mounting platform 1215 is provided at the junction of the front part 1211 and the first side part 1213 of the water tray 121. The motor 1271 is located above the mounting platform 1215. Figures 5-7 The air duct frame 122 is located above the water tray 121 and includes an outer baffle structure 1221, which shields the front side of the motor 1271 and the side facing the first side portion 1213; back Figures 4-6 The water tray 121 is provided with a protective baffle 1216 on the side of the motor 1271 facing the outer baffle structure 1221.

[0074] Therefore, by setting up the protective barrier 1216, the motor 1271 is effectively shielded and protected, reducing the risk of the motor 1271 colliding with the outer barrier structure 1221 during assembly and transportation, and improving the operational reliability and service life of the motor 1271. Furthermore, positioning the motor 1271 at the intersection of the front part 1211 of the water pan and the first side part 1213 facilitates maintenance and installation operations on the motor 1271.

[0075] It is worth noting that in the embodiments of this application, the structure of the protective barrier 1216 is not limited, for example, it can be in the form of a baffle or a fence, etc.

[0076] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protective baffle 1216 is in the form of a baffle and includes a baffle portion 12161. The baffle portion 12161 extends backward from the front portion 1211 of the water pan to the first side portion 1213 to block the oblique front of the motor 1271.

[0077] Therefore, the protective baffle 1216 is designed as a baffle, which simplifies its structure and makes it easy to manufacture. Moreover, since the baffle portion 12161 extends backward from the front portion 1211 of the water pan to the first side portion 1213 to block the oblique front of the motor 1271, the size of the protective baffle 1216 can be reduced while meeting the protection requirements, thereby saving materials.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The protective baffle 1216 may also include a first folding plate portion 12162 and a second folding plate portion 12163. The first folding plate portion 12162 is bent from the end of the baffle portion 12161 near the first side portion 1213 toward the direction near the motor 1271, and the second folding plate portion 12163 is bent from the end of the baffle portion 12161 near the front portion 1211 of the water pan toward the direction near the motor 1271.

[0079] As a result, the first folding plate portion 12162 and the second folding plate portion 12163 are bent toward the direction closer to the motor 1271, which enhances the edge strength of the protective stop 1216, reduces the deformation of the protective stop 1216, and improves the protective performance of the protective stop 1216.

[0080] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 7 More than half of the height of the motor 1271 is blocked by the protective stop 1216. That is to say, the height of the protective stop 1216 is at least more than half the height of the motor 1271, and when projected onto the plane containing the axis of the motor 1271, the height of the area where the projection of the protective stop 1216 and the projection of the motor 1271 overlaps is more than half the height of the motor 1271, so that at least half of the height of the motor 1271 can be blocked and protected by the protective stop 1216.

[0081] For example, when the lower end of the protective stop 1216 is flush with the lower end of the motor 1271, the upper end of the protective stop 1216 is higher than the height center plane of the motor 1271; as another example, when the upper end of the protective stop 1216 is flush with the upper end of the motor 1271, the lower end of the protective stop 1216 is lower than the height center plane of the motor 1271.

[0082] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 and Figure 7A motor shaft 1273 extends from the bottom of the motor 1271, and the upper surface of the protective stop 1216 is flush with the upper surface of the motor 1271. Therefore, since the motor shaft 1273 extends from the bottom of the motor 1271, it does not occupy the top space of the motor 1271. This allows the upper surface of the protective stop 1216 to be flush with the upper surface of the motor 1271, and the protective stop 1216 will not occupy space higher than the motor 1271. This achieves reliable protection while reducing unnecessary space occupation, contributing to a compact and miniaturized overall structure.

[0083] Of course, this application is not limited to this. For example, in other embodiments of this application, the upper end face of the protective stop 1216 may protrude slightly or be lower than the upper end face of the motor 1271.

[0084] The material and installation method of the protective baffle 1216 are not limited. For example, it can be made of metal, plastic or other durable materials. The specific material selection can depend on the application environment, connection requirements, etc. In addition, the connection method between the protective baffle 1216 and the water tray 121 is not limited. For example, it can be a non-removable fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0085] For example, in some embodiments of this application, see Figure 4 The protective baffle 1216 can be integrally formed with the water tray 121 and protrudes upward from the mounting platform 1215. Therefore, since the protective baffle 1216 can be integrally formed with the water tray 121, it facilitates the processing of the protective baffle 1216, eliminates the assembly and installation steps, improves production efficiency, and ensures high protective reliability. Furthermore, because the protective baffle 1216 protrudes upward from the mounting platform 1215, it effectively utilizes the vertical space of the water tray 121, reducing the additional space occupied by the protective baffle 1216 in front of or to the side of the water tray 121, making the structure of the water tray 121 more compact.

[0086] In some embodiments, see Figures 4-6 The motor 1271 includes a body portion 12712 and a protrusion portion 12711. A protective stop 1216 is shielded between the body portion 12712 and the outer wall structure 1221. The protrusion portion 12711 is located behind the protective stop 1216 and protrudes from the body portion 12712 toward the top of the first side portion 1213 (i.e., protruding from the right side of the body portion 12712 to the right). A motor wire 1274 extends downward from the protrusion portion 12711 and extends to the outside of the first side portion 1213.

[0087] In the above technical solution, by providing the protrusion 12711, the motor wire 1274 can extend to the outside of the first side portion 1213, making the connection and management of the motor wire 1274 more convenient. This facilitates the inspection and replacement of the motor wire 1274 by maintenance personnel and reduces interference and potential safety hazards of the motor wire 1274 inside the water tray 121.

[0088] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The outer surface of the first side portion 1213 has a wire clamping structure 12131, through which the motor wire 1274 is limited.

[0089] In the above technical solution, by setting a wire clamping structure 12131 on the outer surface of the first side 1213, the motor wire 1274 can be effectively limited and fixed, avoiding the motor wire 1274 from swinging and tangling outside the water tray 121, thus improving the stability and safety of the motor wire 1274. The design of the wire clamping structure 12131 makes full use of the outer surface space of the first side 1213, maintaining the compactness of the overall structure. The setting of the wire clamping structure 12131 simplifies the installation and limiting of the motor wire 1274, reduces the installation difficulty, and improves the assembly efficiency.

[0090] In the embodiments of this application, the wire clip structure 12131 can be designed in different shapes, such as groove, hook, clip, etc.

[0091] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wire clamping structure 12131 includes a limiting buckle 121311 located at the upper end of the first side portion 1213, the limiting buckle 121311 defining a first wire groove 121313 that runs through the vertical direction and is open at the front.

[0092] In the above technical solution, by setting a limiting buckle 121311 at the upper end of the first side 1213 and defining a first wire groove 121313 that runs through the vertical direction and is open at the front, the motor wire 1274 can be inserted into the first wire groove 121313 from front to back, so that the motor wire 1274 can be effectively restricted from moving left and right and stably run downward along the first side 1213.

[0093] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wire-locking structure 12131 includes a wire-locking buckle 121312 lower than the upper end of the first side portion 1213. The wire-locking buckle 121312 includes two sub-parts 121314 spaced apart vertically. A second wire groove 121315 is defined between the two sub-parts 121314, which extends through the front-back direction and opens in a direction away from the first side plate 1213.

[0094] In the above technical solution, a wire clip 121312 is provided at the upper end of the first side plate 1213, and a second wire groove 121315 is formed between the two sub-parts 121314 that runs through the front and back direction and opens in the direction away from the first side plate 1213. Thus, the motor wire 1274 can be inserted into the second wire groove 121315 in the direction of the first side plate 1213, and the movement of the motor wire 1274 in the vertical direction can be effectively restricted.

[0095] For example, in some embodiments, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 The wire-locking structure 12131 includes a limiting buckle 121311 located at the upper end of the first side portion 1213. The limiting buckle 121311 defines a first wire groove 121313 that extends vertically and is open at the front. The wire-locking structure 12131 also includes a wire-locking buckle 121312 located below the upper end of the first side portion 1213. The wire-locking buckle 121312 includes two sub-parts 121314 that are spaced vertically apart. A second wire groove 121315 that extends horizontally and is open in a direction away from the first side plate 1213 defines the space between the two sub-parts 121314.

[0096] Therefore, the design of the limit buckle 121311 allows the motor wire 1274 to smoothly enter the second wire groove 121315 and be stably locked in the second wire groove 121315, thereby simplifying the wiring of the motor wire 1274.

[0097] Furthermore, the design of the wire clamping structure 12131 can also provide a certain degree of protection for the motor wire 1274, preventing it from being damaged by external factors (such as friction, compression, etc.). This design extends the service life of the motor wire 1274 and improves the reliability and durability of the equipment.

[0098] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The air duct frame 122 includes an upper baffle structure 1224, which is located above the motor 1271. An outer baffle structure 1221 extends downward from the upper baffle structure 1224. The lower front end of the outer baffle structure 1221 extends to the front side of the water pan front 1211, which is lower than the upper end of the water pan front 1211. The lower side end of the outer baffle structure 1221 extends to the outside of the first side 1213 (i.e., the side away from the center of the water pan 121, such as the right side shown in the figure), which is lower than the upper end of the first side 1213.

[0099] Therefore, by setting the upper baffle structure 1224, the motor 1271 can be protected from above, thereby improving the reliability of the motor 1271. Furthermore, since the lower front end of the outer baffle structure 1221 extends to the front side of the front part 1211 of the water tray and is lower than the upper end of the front part 1211 of the water tray, and the lower side end of the outer baffle structure 1221 extends to the outer side of the first side part 1213 (i.e., the side away from the center of the water tray 121, such as the right side shown in the figure) and is lower than the upper end of the first side part 1213, when the outer baffle structure 1221 moves backward relative to the water tray 121, the outer baffle structure 1221 can abut against the front part 1211 of the water tray, reducing the risk of collision between the outer baffle structure 1221 and the motor 1271. Similarly, when the outer baffle structure 1221 moves horizontally inward (e.g., to the left) relative to the water tray 121, the outer baffle structure 1221 can abut against the first side part 1213, reducing the risk of collision between the outer baffle structure 1221 and the motor 1271.

[0100] Further, see Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 The air duct frame 122 may also include a rear baffle structure 1222, which is located behind the motor 1271 and extends downward from the upper baffle structure 1224. The outer end of the rear baffle structure 1222 is connected to the side of the outer baffle structure 1221, and the lower end of the rear baffle structure 1222 extends above the first side 1213.

[0101] Therefore, the duct frame 122 can not only meet the requirement of avoiding the motor 1271, but also surround the motor 1271 from the top and outside (for example, the right side shown in the figure) through the setting of the upper baffle structure 1224, the rear baffle structure 1222 and the outer baffle structure 1221, so as to achieve a large degree of sealing and prevent the humidifying airflow in the duct frame 122 from leaking out from here.

[0102] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 The distance L between the rear baffle structure 1222 and the outer baffle structure 1221 in the front-to-back direction is greater than 100mm, and the distance L between the rear baffle structure 1222 and the outer baffle structure 1221 in the front-to-back direction is greater than twice the size of the motor 1271 in the front-to-back direction.

[0103] For example, during assembly, the rear end of the duct frame 122 can be slightly raised so that the lower end of the rear baffle structure 1222 is higher than the top surface of the motor 1271. At this time, the duct frame 122 can be pushed backward. When the rear baffle structure 1222 moves to the rear of the motor 1271, the rear end of the duct frame 122 can be lowered so that the motor 1271 enters the space between the rear baffle structure 1222 and the outer baffle structure 1221. After that, the duct frame 122 can be pushed backward.

[0104] Therefore, when the duct frame 122 is installed by pushing it backward relative to the water tray 121, by setting the distance L between the rear baffle structure 1222 and the outer baffle structure 1221 in the front-back direction to be greater than 100mm and greater than twice the size of the motor 1271 in the front-back direction, there is sufficient space between the rear baffle structure 1222 and the outer baffle structure 1221 in the front-back direction to accommodate the motor 1271, which facilitates the motor 1271 to enter the space, reduces the difficulty of operation, and improves the problem of collision between the duct frame 122 and the motor 1271.

[0105] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The front part 1211 of the water pan defines a top-open water filling pool 12111, and the first side part 1213 defines a top-open connecting pool 12130. The front end of the connecting pool 12130 is connected to the water filling pool 12111. A downwardly recessed overflow outlet 12132 is formed on the upper end of the outer side wall of the first side part 1213. The overflow outlet 12132 is located at the center of the first side part 1213 in the front-rear direction. The rear baffle structure 1222 is located in front of the overflow outlet 12132.

[0106] Since the front end of the "connecting pool 12130 is connected to the water injection pool 12111", the connecting pool 12130 and the water injection pool 12111 form a communicating vessel. When the water level of either the water injection pool 12111 or the connecting pool 12130 exceeds the overflow outlet 12132, it can overflow through the overflow outlet 12132, thereby avoiding the problem of disorderly overflow when the water level of the water tray 121 is too high due to shaking or water injection failure.

[0107] In this embodiment, by setting the rear baffle structure 1222 in front of the overflow port 12132, when the overflow port 12132 overflows, the overflowing water can be prevented from flowing forward to the motor 1271, thereby protecting the motor 1271.

[0108] In this embodiment, "the central position of the first side portion 1213 in the front-back direction" refers to dividing the first side portion 1213 into three parts along the front-back direction, with the middle part being the central position of the first side portion 1213 in the front-back direction. In this embodiment, by setting the overflow port 12132 at the central position of the first side portion 1213 in the front-back direction, this position makes it easier, faster, and more effective to overflow water.

[0109] Of course, this application is not limited to this. In order to achieve reliable overflow, the number and location of the overflow outlets 12132 can be adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0110] In some embodiments, see Figure 9 and Figure 10 The front part 1211 of the water pan defines an open-topped water injection pool 12111. The air duct frame 122 also includes an inner baffle structure 1223, which shields the side of the motor 1271 closest to the water injection pool 12111. Therefore, by providing the inner baffle structure 1223, water splashing from the water injection pool 12111 onto the motor 1271 can be reduced, improving the reliability of the motor 1271, solving the problem of motor 1271 malfunctions or performance degradation caused by water contact, and extending the service life of the motor 1271.

[0111] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 The front part 1211 of the water tray defines a water filling pool 12111 with an open top. The mounting platform 1215 is higher than the bottom surface of the water filling pool 12111. The humidification module 12 also includes a water tank 124 and a drive unit 1272. The water tank 124 is located above the front part 1211 of the water tray and includes a water outlet 1241 that extends into the water filling pool 12111. A water outlet valve 1242 is provided on the side of the water outlet 1241 facing the first side part 1213. The drive unit 1272 is located below the motor 1271 and on one side of the water outlet valve 1242 in the horizontal direction. A motor shaft 1273 connected to the drive unit 1272 extends from the bottom of the motor 1271 to open the water outlet valve 1242 through the drive unit 1272.

[0112] Thus, the motor 1271 drives the outlet valve 1242 to open via the drive component 1272, realizing the automatic filling of water from the water tank 124 to the water tray 121. Since the motor 1271 is located above the mounting platform 1215, which is higher than the bottom of the water filling pool 12111, it can prevent moisture from entering the motor 1271, effectively protecting the motor 1271. Because the outlet valve 1242 is located on the side of the outlet section 1241 facing the first side 1213, and the drive component 1272 is located below the motor 1271 and on one side of the outlet valve 1242 in the horizontal direction, this horizontal arrangement saves the vertical space required for disassembling the water tank 124. That is, when disassembling the water tank 124, it is not necessary to significantly raise the water tank 124 to avoid the drive component 1272 from the bottom, thereby reducing the need for reserved space above the water tank 124 and improving structural compactness.

[0113] In some embodiments, see Figures 11-13The water tray 121 also includes a rear portion 1212 and a second side portion 1214. The rear portion 1212 defines a top-open water storage tank 12121, which is located behind the front portion 1211. The first side portion 1213 and the second side portion 1214 are spaced apart in the left-right direction to connect the front portion 1211 and the rear portion 1212, respectively. The first side portion 1213 defines a top-open connecting pool 12130, which connects the water storage tank 12121 and the water filling pool 12111. 121 includes a vent 1210 that is disposed between the front part 1211 of the water pan, the first side part 1213, the rear part 1212 of the water pan and the second side part 1214 and extends through in the vertical direction; the air duct frame 122 defines a humidifying air duct 122a, the bottom of the humidifying air duct 122a is open to communicate with the vent 1210; the humidifying module 12 also includes a wet film assembly 123, which is located behind the water tank 124 and extends downward from front to back into the humidifying air duct 122a, and the lower end of the wet film assembly 123 extends into the water storage tank 12121.

[0114] In the above technical solution, since the wet membrane assembly 123 extends into the humidifying air duct 122a at a downward and rearward angle, and its lower end extends into the water storage tank 12121, this arrangement allows the wet membrane 1231 to fully contact the water, thereby achieving efficient humidification when the air passes through. Furthermore, with the water tank 124 positioned above the front of the water tray 1, the operation of the water tank 124 filling the water injection pool 12111 at the front of the water tray 1 and the operation of the wet membrane assembly 123 drawing water from the water storage tank 12121 at the rear of the water tray 1 do not interfere with each other. A connecting pool 12130 connects the water storage tank 12121 and the water injection pool 12111, allowing the water injected into the water injection pool 12111 by the water tank 124 to reach the water storage tank 12121. In addition, since the vent 1210 is located at the bottom of the humidification duct 122a, and the wet membrane assembly 123 extends into the humidification duct 122a at an angle to the rear and downward, the airflow flowing from bottom to top can contact the wet membrane assembly 123 over a larger area, thereby improving the humidification effect.

[0115] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air handling component 1 according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0116] like Figure 14 and Figure 15 The air handling unit 1 includes a fresh air module 11, a purification module 13, and a humidification module 12. The fresh air module 11 includes a fresh air fan 111. The purification module 13 is located downstream of the fresh air fan 111. The humidification module 12 is located downstream of the purification module 13 and is a humidification module 12 according to any embodiment of the first aspect of this utility model. "Downstream" refers to the position reached after the airflow passes through the direction.

[0117] The fresh air module 11, the purification module 13, and the humidification module 12 can be arranged sequentially along the airflow direction. The airflow introduced by the fresh air module 11 can first flow through the purification module 13 and then through the humidification module 12. Based on the type selection and activation control of the purification module 13 and the humidification module 12, at least one of humidification and purification can be achieved.

[0118] Therefore, by setting up the humidification module 12, the risk of the motor 1271 being bumped or knocked is reduced, the reliability and service life of the motor 1271 are extended, thereby improving the reliability of the entire air handling unit 1.

[0119] For example, see Figure 14 and Figure 15 The fresh air module 11 includes a centrifugal fan 111a with the air outlet of the centrifugal fan 111a facing upward. When the water tray 121 is provided with a vent 1210, the airflow can be directly sent upward into the humidification duct 122a.

[0120] This design allows the airflow from the centrifugal fan 111a to flow sequentially through the purification module 13 and the humidification module 12. This not only saves space but also improves space utilization, making the entire system more suitable for installation in limited spaces such as homes and offices. The centrifugal fan 111a features large air volume and high air pressure, enabling it to quickly blow airflow towards the purification module 13 and the wet film assembly 123, thus overcoming their resistance and improving air handling efficiency.

[0121] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 100 according to a third aspect embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0122] See Figure 16 and Figure 17 The air conditioner 100 includes a humidification module 12 according to any embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention or an air handling component 1 according to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention.

[0123] That is, the air conditioner 100 may include the air handling unit 1 of the form described above, or it may not include the air handling unit 1 of the form described above, but only include the humidification module 12. For example, the fresh air module 11 and the humidification module 12 may also cooperate directly, omitting the purification module 13.

[0124] Therefore, by adopting the humidification module 12 or the air handling unit 1, the overall reliability of the air conditioner 100 can be improved.

[0125] For example, combined Figure 16 and Figure 17When the air conditioner 100 includes an air handling unit 1, the air conditioner 100 may also include a ventilation and heat exchange unit 2. The ventilation and heat exchange unit 2 may include a fan and a heat exchanger. When the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2 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.

[0126] The type of air conditioner 100 is not limited. For example, it can be an integrated air conditioner (such as a kitchen air conditioner, a portable air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc.) or a split air conditioner (such as a split wall-mounted unit, a split floor-standing unit, etc.). Once the type of air conditioner 100 is determined, the relative positions of the air handling unit 1 and the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2 can be known. For example, when the air conditioner 100 is a floor-standing unit, the ventilation and heat exchange unit 2 can be located above the air handling unit 1.

[0127] Other components of the air conditioner 100 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.
