[0002] The background description provided herein is intended to present the general context of this disclosure. To the extent described in this background section, the work of the currently identified inventors and aspects of the description that may not constitute prior art at the time of filing are neither explicitly nor implicitly considered to be prior art to this disclosure.

[0003] With the development of technology, the efficiency requirements for humidification products are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more wet film humidifiers on the market. However, there are still some defects. For example, the products can only have one-way air intake and exhaust. In addition, when linked with a fresh air system, since there is only one-way ventilation, two inspection ports need to be opened, which makes maintenance inconvenient.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a humidifier product that can solve the above problems or defects. Utility Model Content

[0005] This disclosure provides a bidirectional ventilation humidifier, comprising: at least two vents disposed on a humidifier housing for allowing air to enter and exit the humidifier; a humidifying membrane abutment disposed within the humidifier to support the humidifying membrane and / or provide abutment for the humidifying membrane; and a humidifying membrane for humidifying the airflow passing through the humidifying membrane and detachably fixed to the humidifying membrane abutment, wherein the distance from the humidifying membrane to the two vents is in the range of 5:8 to 1:1.

[0022] The present disclosure will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure. However, the present disclosure may be implemented in various ways and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided to make the disclosure more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of the disclosure to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, the thickness and area of ​​layers may be enlarged for clarity. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals are used to denote the same elements.

[0023] The humidifier of this application can achieve bidirectional air intake and exhaust by limiting the specific position of the humidification film, and the humidification effect is not affected. In addition, when the humidifier is used in conjunction with a fresh air product, they can share a single inspection port, which facilitates maintenance.

Figure 2 This is a perspective view of a two-way ventilation humidifier according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, wherein the top cover and side cover are removed to fully show the humidification film.

Figure 4 This is a schematic perspective view of a humidifying film and a humidifying film abutment according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0025] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this application proposes a two-way ventilation humidifier 1. The two-way ventilation humidifier 1 includes: at least two vents 11 and 12 disposed on the housing of the humidifier for allowing air to enter and exit the humidifier 1; a humidifying membrane abutment 13 disposed inside the humidifier 1 to support a humidifying membrane 14 and / or for the humidifying membrane 14 to abut against; a humidifying membrane 14 for humidifying the airflow passing through the humidifying membrane 14 and detachably fixed to the humidifying membrane abutment 13, wherein the distance from the humidifying membrane 14 to the two vents is in the range of 5:8 to 1:1.

[0026] In other words, to achieve bidirectional ventilation in humidifier 1—that is, to achieve forward or reverse airflow without altering the humidifier structure and without affecting the humidification effect—the position of the humidifying membrane 14 can be set such that the ratio of the distance L1 from one side of the humidifying membrane 14 to the distance L2 from the opposite side to the vent 12 can be within the range of 5:8 to 1:1. Therefore, the humidifier of this application, when operating, not only provides bidirectional ventilation but also avoids uneven humidification effects, preventing the problem of high humidity in one direction and low humidity in another.

[0027] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, without changing the humidifier structure, airflow is allowed through both sides of the humidifying membrane 14.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the bottom of the humidifying membrane 14 is placed in the water receiving tray 15. One side of the humidifying membrane 14 rests against the fixing member 17, while the other opposite side is constrained by rotating the fixing member 16, holding the humidifying membrane 14 in place and preventing it from detaching. This prevents the humidifying membrane 14 from being blown over or detached by airflow during bidirectional air intake and exhaust. When the humidifying membrane 14 needs to be replaced, the fixing member 16 is rotated to move away from the humidifying membrane 14. Rotating it upwards or downwards releases the constraint of the fixing member 16, allowing the humidifying membrane 14 to move away from the humidifying membrane abutment 13 for easy replacement or maintenance.

[0029] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, there can be one or more fixing components 16. The fixing components 16 are rotatably mounted on the humidifying membrane abutment 13 to detachably fix the humidifying membrane 14 to the humidifying membrane abutment 13. Preferably, there can be two fixing components 16, evenly distributed on the humidifying membrane abutment 13. The fixing components 16 can have a pin structure, which not only facilitates installation and operation but also ensures that the humidifying membrane 14 is firmly fixed in place. Even after the ventilation direction is changed, the humidifying membrane 14 will not be blown over or detached by the wind.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the humidifying film abutment 13 includes two fixing members 17 respectively disposed on the upper and lower parts of the humidifying film 14. The fixing members 17 extend from one end to the other along the longitudinal direction of the humidifying film 14, providing lateral support or abutment to the humidifying film 14 to keep the humidifying film 14 in a fixed position. Alternatively, the fixing members 17 may be spaced apart in the middle along the longitudinal direction of the humidifying film 14, and disposed from one end of the humidifying film abutment to the other end.

[0031] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4As shown, one fixing member 17 of the humidifying membrane abutment 13 is disposed on the water inlet tank 18, corresponding to the upper part of the humidifying membrane 14, and the other fixing member 17 is disposed in the water receiving tray 15, or disposed slightly above the water receiving tray 15, corresponding to the bottom of the humidifying membrane 14. For example, in one example, on the side of the water inlet tank 18, at a position corresponding to the upper part of the humidifying membrane 14, one fixing member 17 is installed, extending from one end to the other along the longitudinal direction of the humidifying membrane 14, or spaced in the middle along the longitudinal direction of the humidifying membrane 14, disposed from one end of the humidifying membrane abutment to the other end. The other fixing member 17 may be disposed in the water receiving tray 15, at a position corresponding to the bottom of the humidifying membrane 14, or slightly above the water receiving tray 15, similarly extending from one end to the other along the longitudinal direction of the humidifying membrane 14, or spaced in the middle along the longitudinal direction of the humidifying membrane 14, disposed from one end of the humidifying membrane abutment to the other end.

[0032] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the humidifying membrane 14 is disposed between the fixing member 16 and the fixing stop 17. That is, one side of the humidifying membrane 14 is constrained by the fixing member 16, and the other side is constrained by the humidifying membrane abutment 13, so that the humidifying membrane 14 can be stably positioned on the water receiving tray 15 during bidirectional ventilation.

[0033] In one embodiment of this application, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the water inlet tank 18 is located above the humidifying membrane 14, and the fixing component 16 is disposed on the water inlet tank 18. In detail, the side of the water inlet tank 18 may be provided with a mounting component, and the fixing component 16 is mounted on the mounting component.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, since the humidifier can achieve bidirectional ventilation, the air inlet of the humidifier can also be the air outlet.

[0035] In addition, the humidifier 1 of this application also includes a water inlet system, a drainage system, a controller, etc. This product achieves bidirectional air blowing of the humidifier 1 by designing a fixed gear structure and a rotating structure inside the humidifier and selecting a suitable position for the humidification film.

[0036] This application also provides an air conditioning system including a two-way ventilation humidifier and a fresh air unit. The fresh air unit is connected to the humidifier to provide clean air to the humidifier. The advantage of this product is that when linked with the fresh air unit, the air intake and exhaust direction of the humidifier does not need to be considered; it can be directly linked with the fresh air product, sharing a single inspection port for easy maintenance, and without affecting the humidification effect.

As used herein, the singular form may include the plural form unless a specific example is clearly indicated in the context. Furthermore, the expressions “comprising” and / or “including” as used herein do not limit the shapes, numbers, steps, operations, components, elements, and / or groups thereof mentioned, nor do they exclude the appearance or inclusion of one or more other different shapes, numbers, steps, operations, components, elements, and / or groups thereof, or inclusion thereof.
