The following description is provided to enable any person skilled in the art to make and use this application. Details are set forth in the following description for purposes of explanation. It should be understood that those skilled in the art will recognize that this application can be made without using these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and processes are not described in detail to avoid obscuring the description of this application with unnecessary detail. Therefore, this application is not intended to be limited to the embodiments shown, but is consistent with the broadest scope of the principles and features disclosed in this application.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, on the one hand, this application provides a humidification device 1, which can effectively humidify indoor air during the heat exchange process of an air conditioner, thereby improving indoor air comfort.

[0029] The humidification device 1 is suitable for humidifying the heat exchanger 2, and the heat exchanger 2 has multiple heat exchange fins. The type of heat exchanger 2 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit this; for example, the heat exchanger 2 can be an indoor heat exchanger 2.

[0030] The humidification device 1 includes a water passage chamber shell 10, a filter layer 20, and a water absorption layer 30, which are stacked sequentially. The water passage chamber shell 10 is provided with a water passage chamber 11 that communicates with the filter layer 20. The water used for humidification can be temporarily stored in the water passage chamber 11 and flow into the filter layer 20 at a preset humidification flow rate. After being filtered and purified by the filter layer 20, the water flows into the water absorption layer 30 and gradually penetrates into various areas of the water absorption layer 30.

[0031] The water-absorbing layer 30 has multiple slits 31 on the side away from the filter layer 20. These slits 31 are adapted to be inserted into the heat exchange fins, allowing the water-absorbing layer 30 to fit snugly onto the heat exchange fins of the heat exchanger 2. In this way, the clean water that permeates into each area of ​​the water-absorbing layer 30 can be evenly distributed along the slits 31 to each heat exchange fin, and then continue to flow along each heat exchange fin to humidify the air flowing through the heat exchanger 2, achieving uniform humidification of the air.

[0032] Compared with related technologies, the humidification device 1 provided in this application embodiment is provided with a water passage shell 10, a filter layer 20 and a water absorption layer 30. The water absorption layer 30 has multiple slits 31 on the side away from the filter layer 20, which can filter and purify the water used for humidification and distribute it evenly, so as to better humidify the indoor air flowing through the heat exchanger 2, thereby improving the indoor air comfort.

[0033] In some embodiments, the humidifier 1 may further include a water storage tank 40 and a water inlet pipe 50, the water inlet pipe 50 connecting the water storage tank 40 and the water passage chamber shell 10. The water storage tank 40 can be used to store a large amount of water, and the water in the water storage tank 40 can flow into the water passage chamber 11 of the water passage chamber shell 10 through the water inlet pipe 50 to replenish the water passage chamber 11 for humidification, avoiding frequent water filling of the humidifier 1 and improving ease of use.

[0034] In some examples, the humidifier 1 may also include a water pump 60. The water pump 60 is mounted on the inlet pipe 50 and is used to pump water from the storage tank 40 into the water passage chamber 11. This allows the storage tank 40 to be positioned as needed, for example, within an air conditioner, while water in the storage tank 40 can still be pumped into the water passage chamber 11 of the water passage chamber housing 10 by the water pump 60, increasing the selectability of the storage tank 40's location. Furthermore, the water pump 60 can be switched on and off to allow water to flow from the storage tank 40 into the water passage chamber 11 or prevent water from flowing into the water passage chamber 11, thus controlling the water replenishment process.

[0035] In some examples, a water inlet 12 may be provided on the side of the water passage shell 10 away from the filter layer 20. The water inlet 12 can communicate with the water passage 11, and the water inlet pipe 50 can be connected to the water inlet 12. By providing the water inlet 12, the water inlet pipe 50 and the water passage shell 10 can be easily disassembled and assembled, ensuring the smooth and reliable water supply pipeline. The number of water inlets 12 can be determined according to actual needs, and can be one or more, which is not limited in this embodiment; for example, multiple water inlets 12 are provided on the side of the water passage shell 10 away from the filter layer 20, and the multiple water inlets 12 are arranged sequentially at intervals along the extension direction of the water inlet pipe 50, so as to replenish water at multiple different positions on the water passage shell 10.

[0036] In some embodiments, the water passage chamber shell 10 may be provided with a liquid level scale 13, which is used to indicate the water level height in the water passage chamber 11. In this way, by observing the liquid level scale 13 corresponding to the water level in the water passage chamber 11, the user can accurately determine the water level height in the water passage chamber 11.

[0037] In some embodiments, a water inlet 12 may be provided on the side of the water passage chamber shell 10 away from the filter layer 20. The water inlet 12 is connected to the water passage chamber 11, and the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the water inlet 12 is smaller than that of the water passage chamber 11. In this way, the water inlet 12 is set to be smaller, which allows for control of the water inflow and avoids significant impact on the water in the water passage chamber 11. This ensures that the water in the water passage chamber 11 can flow into the filter layer 20 at a relatively uniform speed and stably, thus ensuring a more uniform humidification effect.

[0038] The structure of the filter layer 20 can be determined according to actual needs, and this application embodiment does not limit it. For example Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the filter layer 20 may include multiple filter sub-layers 21 stacked sequentially, with at least two filter sub-layers 21 made of different materials, giving the filter layer 20 a multi-layer composite structure. The material of the filter sub-layers 21 can be determined according to actual needs, and may include different types such as activated carbon, reverse osmosis membrane (RO membrane), ultrafiltration membrane (UF membrane), nanofiltration membrane (NF membrane), PP cotton filter element, and quartz sand filter media. This application embodiment does not limit this.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, in some embodiments, each slit 31 can be adapted to be inserted into a corresponding heat exchange fin, and each heat exchange fin can be inserted into a slit 31. In this way, the slit 31 and the heat exchange fin have a one-to-one insertion relationship, so that each heat exchange fin is wrapped by the peripheral wall of a slit 31, thereby allowing water in the water-absorbing layer 30 to be evenly distributed to each heat exchange fin along the peripheral wall of each slit 31, resulting in a better diversion effect.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, on the other hand, this application embodiment provides an air conditioner, which includes a humidification device 1 and a heat exchanger 2 as described in any of the above embodiments. The heat exchanger 2 is disposed on the side of the water absorption layer 30 away from the filter layer 20, and a plurality of heat exchange fins are provided on the side of the heat exchanger 2 facing the water absorption layer 30, with the slit portion 31 and the heat exchange fins correspondingly inserted. The type of air conditioner can be determined according to actual needs, and can be, for example, a wall-mounted air conditioner, a cabinet air conditioner, a window air conditioner, etc., and this application embodiment does not limit this. The air conditioner provided in this application embodiment has the above-mentioned humidification device 1, which can better humidify the indoor air during the heat exchange process of the air conditioner, thereby improving the indoor air comfort.

[0041] In some embodiments, the water passage chamber shell 10, filter layer 20, water absorption layer 30, and heat exchanger 2 can be arranged sequentially from top to bottom. In this way, the water in the water passage chamber 11 can flow sequentially through the filter layer 20, water absorption layer 30, and heat exchanger 2 under its own weight, and the water is supplied to the heat exchanger 2 for humidification by utilizing the automatic flow of water.

[0042] In some embodiments, the air conditioner may further include a fan 3, and the heat exchanger 2 may be arranged around the fan 3. The type of fan 3 can be determined according to actual needs, and may be, for example, a cross-flow fan, etc., which is not limited in this application embodiment.

[0043] The humidification device and air conditioner provided in the embodiments of this application have been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The description of the above embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scope based on the ideas of this application. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this application.
