Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of duct air conditioners, and in particular to a water supply structure for a humidification module of a duct air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of ducted air conditioners, users have placed higher demands on them. These demands include not only comfortable temperature but also controlled air humidity. Therefore, achieving humidity regulation is a key technical challenge for ducted air conditioners. Currently, ducted air conditioners humidify by adding water to a wet film via a water supply module, making the film moist. Then, when the air conditioner outputs air, it blows the moisture off the wet film, thus increasing the humidity of the indoor environment.
[0003] Taking the scheme disclosed in CN206222476U as an example, its diversion channel divides the water input from the inlet into several smaller streams, which are then distributed to the outlet at the end of the diversion channel. This allows water to be added to the surface of the heat exchanger, where it evaporates, thus achieving humidification. However, this water supply method has the following problems: because the diversion channel has a grooved cross-section (open at the top), fluctuations in the water supply can cause water to overflow from the top of the channel, potentially damaging components below. The root cause is the lack of a necessary sealing structure in the existing diversion channel, failing to structurally eliminate the risk of water overflowing from the top. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a water supply structure for the humidification module of a duct air conditioner that improves the sealing effect of the distribution channel, thereby preventing water from overflowing from the distribution channel.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a water supply structure for a humidification module of a duct air conditioner, including a wet film and a water supply module disposed above the wet film. The water supply module includes a diversion channel and a water outlet disposed at the end of the diversion channel. The water outlet is disposed above the wet film. The water supply module includes an upper template and a lower template. The upper template and the lower template are tightly attached to each other. Diversion grooves are respectively disposed on the opposite surfaces of the upper module and the lower module. The diversion grooves of the upper module and the lower module are engaged to form the diversion channel. A sealing ring structure is disposed around the outer periphery of the diversion channel.
[0006] Furthermore, the sealing ring structure includes a sealing ring mounting groove and an O-ring. The upper and lower modules have corresponding sealing ring grooves on their opposite surfaces. The sealing ring grooves of the upper and lower modules engage to form the sealing ring mounting groove, and the O-ring is disposed in the sealing ring mounting groove.
[0007] Furthermore, the wet membrane is arranged vertically, with a water inlet at the top and the water outlet located above the water inlet.
[0008] Furthermore, the upper and lower templates are fixedly connected by fastening screws.
[0009] Furthermore, the diversion channel has at least two outlets, which are connected in parallel.
[0010] Furthermore, the water supply module is located below the top cover.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By tightly fitting the upper and lower templates together and interlocking their respective diversion grooves to form a diversion channel, the resulting diversion channel is sealed between the upper and lower templates. This structurally creates a sealed water delivery channel between the upper and lower templates, preventing water from overflowing from the top. 2. To further seal the gap between the upper and lower templates and prevent water seepage, a sealing ring structure is installed around the outer periphery of the diversion channel. This sealing ring encloses the diversion channel, ensuring that even if a small amount of water seeps from the gap between the two diversion grooves forming the diversion channel, the sealing ring will prevent it from leaking out from the upper and lower templates, thus guaranteeing safety. 3. The outlets are connected in parallel, resulting in more uniform water supply to the wet membrane. Existing solutions improve water supply uniformity by setting up diversion channels. However, in these designs, the outlets are connected by a through-channel, meaning all water collects in this channel before being discharged. This inevitably leads to uneven drainage, with some outlets discharging more water than others, resulting in poor water supply uniformity. This new solution eliminates the through-channel, connecting the outlets in parallel. This ensures that the drainage volume of each outlet depends solely on the water flow of its connected pipe. Since the diversion channels already ensure uniform water flow, uneven drainage is eliminated, significantly improving water uniformity. This invention is particularly suitable for ducted air conditioners with humidification functions. Attached Figure Description

[0017] The components in the diagram are marked as follows: water supply module 1, upper template 11, lower template 12, O-ring seal 13, outlet 14, diversion groove 15, diversion channel 151, sealing ring groove 16, screw hole 17, inlet 18, fastening screw 19, top cover 3, evaporator 4, wet film 5, water inlet 51. Detailed Implementation
[0018] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 This diagram illustrates an embodiment of the water supply structure for the humidification module of a ducted air conditioner. A wet film 5 is positioned between the evaporator 4 and the air outlet of the ducted air conditioner, running vertically. An upper template 11 and a lower template 12 are positioned below the top cover 3 of the ducted air conditioner. The upper template 11 and lower template 12 are stacked vertically and secured together by fastening screws 19 located in screw holes 17 on the lower template 12. Since both the upper template 11 and lower template 12 have sealing ring grooves 16 on their surfaces, when the upper template 11 and lower template 12 are tightly fitted together, their respective sealing ring grooves 16 interlock to form a diversion channel 151, creating a sealed water supply channel. The required supplemental water is input through the inlet 18 of the diversion channel 151. After multi-stage diversion by the diversion channel 151, it is finally divided into several smaller branches, which flow out through the outlet 14 at the end of each branch, flowing evenly to the inlet 51 at the top of the wet membrane 5, where it is absorbed by the wet membrane 5, thus achieving uniform water supply to the wet membrane 5. The outlets 14 are connected in parallel, and each outlet 14 is only connected to its corresponding branch. There are no channels connecting all the outlets 14. The diversion method of the diversion channel 151 can be selected as one branch dividing into two, then two branches dividing into four, and so on.
[0020] Sealing ring grooves 16 are respectively provided on the opposite surfaces of the upper module 11 and the lower module 12. After the upper module 11 and the lower module 12 are fastened and engaged by the fastening screws 19, the sealing ring grooves 16 on the upper module 11 and the lower module 12 engage to form a sealing ring mounting groove, and an O-ring 13 is placed in the sealing ring mounting groove. The O-ring 13 surrounds all the branch channels 151, forming a sealed environment that surrounds the small amount of seepage water overflowing from the branch channels 151. Based on the above structure, water can only enter from the inlet 18 of the branch channel 151, and after multi-stage diversion of the branch channel 151, it is diverted to the final branch, and finally discharged to the water inlet 51 of the wet membrane 5 through the outlet 14 corresponding to each branch, so as to achieve uniform water replenishment of the wet membrane 5. Subsequently, as Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner blows air from left to right across the wet film 5 in the direction of the arrow, blowing out the moisture from the wet film 5 and achieving the humidification effect of the air conditioner.
