Description

Technical Field

[0002] Currently, with the continuous improvement of living standards, people have increasingly higher requirements for the functionality of air purifiers. To achieve the humidification function, a carrier is generally added inside the air purifier. After the carrier is moistened, purified air blows through it to remove the moisture, thus simultaneously achieving air purification and humidification. Current carriers are usually single-layer or multi-layer fabric structures. If the weaving density is too high, the air permeability resistance is large, the ventilation effect is poor, directly affecting the airflow and thus the purification and humidification effects. If the weaving density is too low, the contact area between the air and the carrier is small, less moisture is removed when the air blows through, the humidification efficiency is low, and the humidification effect is poor.

[0003] In view of this, it is particularly important to design and manufacture a carrier, air filter and air conditioning device with high humidification efficiency and good ventilation effect, especially in air conditioning. Utility Model Content

[0042] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the features in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0043] First Embodiment

[0044] Please refer to the reference. Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides an air conditioning device (not shown) for humidifying the air. By using the carrier 100 provided by this utility model, compared with traditional air conditioning devices, it can reduce air penetration resistance, enhance ventilation, and increase air volume. Furthermore, by carrying (or retaining) more moisture, the carrier 100 can increase the contact area between moisture and air, improve humidification efficiency, and ensure humidification effect.

[0045] The air conditioning device includes an air filter (not shown) and a regulating body (not shown). The air filter is installed inside the regulating body, which drives the air to form an airflow. The air filter, after being moistened, is blown through by the airflow, which removes moisture from the filter during the process, thus achieving air humidification. Furthermore, depending on actual needs, the air conditioning device can be supplemented with air purification components, air temperature regulating components, air heat exchange components, air dehumidification components, etc., to achieve more air conditioning functions. Since these functions are not the focus of this invention, they will not be discussed further here.

[0046] The air filter and carrier 100 provided by this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0047] Please continue to refer to this. Figures 1-4The air filter includes a carrier 100. The carrier 100 includes a base layer 110 and multi-strand fiber filaments 120. The base layer 110 is woven from yarn and has multiple openings 111 densely distributed throughout. The openings 111 allow air to pass through, thus enabling more air to contact the carrier 100. The airflow can pass through multiple openings 111 simultaneously to ensure sufficient air volume. The multi-strand fiber filaments 120 are all disposed on the base layer 110 and are arranged sequentially along the contour of the openings 111, i.e., the multi-strand fiber filaments 120 are all disposed at the edges of the openings 111. The fiber filaments 120 can absorb a large amount of moisture after the carrier 100 is wetted, and the moisture evaporates when the airflow passes through, thereby increasing the humidity of the airflow and achieving the air humidification function.

[0048] Specifically, since the fiber filaments 120 are located at the edge of the opening 111, they have less resistance to airflow, which can reduce air infiltration resistance, enhance ventilation, and increase air volume. Furthermore, since the multiple fiber filaments 120 are arranged sequentially and dispersed along the contour of the opening 111, their contact area with the airflow is larger, which can increase the contact area with the air, improve humidification efficiency, and ensure humidification effect.

[0049] Further, refer to Figure 2 The fiber filament 120 is arranged in an arc shape. The fiber filament 120 includes a first arc segment 121 and a second arc segment 122 connected together. The first arc segment 121 extends away from the base layer 110, and the second arc segment 122 extends towards the base layer 110. That is, the fiber filament 120 diffuses outward from the surface of the base layer 110 to increase the contact area between the fiber filament 120 and the air, thereby improving the humidification efficiency and ensuring the humidification effect.

[0050] In this embodiment, the fiber filaments 120 are arranged in a ring shape. The ring-shaped fiber filaments 120 and the base layer 110 cooperate to form a dense three-dimensional structure, which further increases the contact area with air, improves the humidification efficiency, and enhances the uniformity of moisture evaporation into the airflow, thereby achieving uniform humidification. Specifically, the regular weaving of the ring-shaped fiber filaments 120 on the base layer 110 can improve the spatial distribution density and uniformity of the fiber filaments 120, and enable the airflow to pass stably through the carrier 100, reducing airflow loss. However, this is not the only option. In other embodiments, the fiber filaments 120 may not be closed rings, but rather open curves, which can also improve humidification efficiency and ensure humidification uniformity.

[0051] In this embodiment, the fiber filaments 120 are arranged in a ring, with adjacent fiber filaments 120 interlocked. That is, multiple fiber filaments 120 arranged sequentially are interlocked, which can further increase the spatial distribution density of the fiber filaments 120, allowing the fiber filaments 120 to absorb more moisture, thereby increasing the amount of moisture evaporation, improving humidification efficiency, and enhancing the humidification effect. At the same time, it can also enhance the stability of the fiber filaments 120, reduce the occurrence of fiber filaments 120 scattering, thereby extending the service life of the carrier 100, ensuring the humidification effect, and improving the user experience.

[0052] In this embodiment, the fiber filament 120 is woven onto the base layer 110. Specifically, the base layer is densely covered with multiple weaving gaps (not shown). The weaving gaps are formed by the weaving of the base layer 110, that is, the weaving threads interweave to form the weaving gaps, and the weaving start end 123 and weaving end 124 of the fiber filament 120 both pass through the weaving gaps.

[0053] It should be noted that in different weaving processes, the weaving start 123 and weaving end 124 of the fiber filament 120 can both pass through the same weaving gap, or they can pass through different weaving gaps respectively. This utility model does not make any specific limitation.

[0054] In addition, in different weaving processes, the fiber filament 120 can be formed by separating it from the yarn of the base layer 110 (that is, at least a part of the yarn extends outward to form the fiber filament 120), or it can be an independent fiber filament 120 connected or wound on the base layer 110. This utility model does not make any specific limitations.

[0055] In this embodiment, the base layer 110 is a single-sided fabric, and the multiple fiber filaments 120 are all disposed on the same side of the base layer 110, that is, the multiple fiber filaments 120 extend outward from the same side of the base layer 110. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the base layer 110 is a double-sided fabric, and the multiple fiber filaments 120 are disposed on both sides of the base layer 110, that is, the multiple fiber filaments 120 extend outward from both sides of the base layer 110.

[0056] Preferably, the fiber filaments 120 protrude from the surface of the base layer 110 in the thickness direction, and the protrusion height is less than 30mm. Specifically, by protruding from the surface of the base layer 110, the fiber filaments 120 can effectively increase the contact area between the fiber filaments 120 and the air, thereby increasing the evaporation efficiency of moisture within the fiber filaments 120, improving humidification efficiency, and enhancing the humidification effect. Furthermore, by appropriately setting the protrusion height of the fiber filaments 120, the obstruction effect on air can be minimized while ensuring humidification efficiency, reducing air permeability resistance, enhancing ventilation, and increasing airflow.

[0057] Preferably, the fiber filament 120 comprises multiple yarns (not shown), that is, multiple smaller yarns combined to form the fiber filament 120. The multiple yarns can be arranged in parallel or entangled, with gaps between the yarns, which has a good moisture retention or load-bearing effect, that is, it allows the fiber filament 120 to have a good water absorption effect. Therefore, the multiple yarns work together to further enhance the water absorption effect, thereby increasing the contact between water and air, increasing the evaporation rate, and thus improving the humidification efficiency.

[0058] Preferably, the number of yarns is 5-15. A reasonable number of yarns can minimize the obstruction of air while ensuring humidification efficiency, reduce air permeability resistance, enhance ventilation, and increase air volume. Specifically, too few yarns are not conducive to moisture carrying capacity and affect the humidification effect, while too many yarns are not conducive to air passage efficiency and affect the ventilation effect.

[0059] In this embodiment, both the yarn and the thread are made of polyester. The thread has a higher stiffness than the yarn, so that the base layer 110 of the carrier 100 has a certain degree of rigidity, facilitating installation and disassembly. The yarn has a higher water absorption rate than the thread, so that the fiber filaments 120 have better water absorption, improving humidification efficiency. However, this is not the only embodiment. In other embodiments, the yarn and thread may also contain materials such as nylon or spandex to achieve a certain degree of stiffness or elasticity. The materials of the yarn and thread can also be different, and there is no specific limitation on the materials of the yarn and thread.

[0060] In this embodiment, the opening 111 is hexagonal, meaning that the multiple fiber filaments 120 are arranged sequentially along the outline of the hexagonal shape of the opening 111, allowing airflow to pass through the interior of the hexagonal shape of the opening 111. However, this is not the only embodiment; in other embodiments, the opening 111 can be rhomboid or elliptical, and the shape of the opening 111 is not specifically limited.

[0061] Preferably, the carrier 100 further includes a covering net (not shown). The covering net covers at least the multi-strand fiber filaments 120 to limit the fiber filaments, prevent them from falling off, and improve the user experience. Specifically, the covering net is connected to the base layer 110 by stitching to achieve reliable positioning of the covering net.

[0062] In this embodiment, the covering net is only placed over the multi-strand fiber filament 120, but it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the covering net is placed over both the base layer 110 and the multi-strand fiber filament 120, thus achieving complete coverage of the entire carrier 100.

[0063] The air filter provided by this utility model will be further described below.

[0064] The air filter element is wound into a cylindrical shape by the carrier 100 and installed in the regulating body to facilitate the humidification function.

[0065] Furthermore, the two ends of the carrier 100, which is wound into a cylindrical shape, are connected by stitches to fix the shape of the air filter, so that the air filter always remains cylindrical and ensures the humidification effect.

[0066] In this embodiment, the two ends (both axially oriented) of the cylindrical air filter are finished with stitching to improve its durability and aesthetics, prevent burrs at the ends, and extend its service life. However, this is not the only embodiment. In other embodiments, the two ends (both axially oriented) of the cylindrical air filter can also be edged with breathable mesh material, achieving the same finishing effect. The finishing method for the air filter is not specifically limited.

[0067] In this embodiment, the carrier 100 is multi-layered (including double-layered), meaning the air filter has a multi-layered structure, with the multiple carriers 100 wound together to form a cylindrical air filter. Specifically, the multiple carriers 100 are stacked and connected by stitches to fix their relative positions. The multi-layered carrier 100 has a relatively thick thickness, which can meet the usage requirements in certain specific scenarios.

[0068] When the carrier 100 has two layers, it can be set to have two layers of fiber filaments 120 in direct contact with each other, or it can be set to have two layers of base layer 110 in direct contact with each other. The designer can choose the setting method according to the needs.

[0069] However, this is not the only option. In other embodiments, the carrier 100 can also be a single unit, meaning the air filter is a single-layer structure. A single-layer air filter has good flexibility, is resistant to washing, easy to clean, and can quickly return to its original shape after washing without affecting subsequent use, resulting in a longer service life. Furthermore, a single-layer air filter can be more easily combined with air conditioning components that have other air conditioning functions, such as air purification filters that adsorb odors and formaldehyde, to achieve a multi-functional filter combination.

[0070] The carrier 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model has a base layer 110 woven from yarn. The base layer 110 is densely covered with multiple openings 111, and multiple strands of fiber filaments 120 are disposed on the base layer 110, sequentially arranged along the contour extension direction of the openings 111. The fiber filaments 120 are arc-shaped, each including a connected first arc segment 121 and a second arc segment 122. The first arc segment 121 extends away from the base layer 110, and the second arc segment 122 extends towards the base layer 110. Compared with the prior art, the carrier 100 provided by this utility model, due to the use of a base layer 110 densely covered with multiple openings 111 and multiple strands of fiber filaments 120 disposed on the base layer 110, can reduce air permeation resistance, enhance ventilation, increase air volume, and increase the contact area with air, thereby improving humidification efficiency and ensuring humidification effect. This results in the air filter having better humidification performance, thus making the air conditioning device have a better humidification effect.

[0071] Second Embodiment

[0072] Please refer to Figure 5 This utility model embodiment provides a carrier 100. Compared with the first embodiment, the difference in this embodiment lies in the different arrangement of the fiber filaments 120.

[0073] In this embodiment, the fiber filaments 120 are arranged in a ring, with adjacent fiber filaments 120 interlocked. Any two fiber filaments 120 located on opposite sides of the opening 111 and corresponding in position are also interlocked; for example, the fiber filament 120 located above the opening 111 is interlocked with the fiber filament 120 located below the opening 111. This further increases the spatial distribution density of the fiber filaments 120, allowing them to absorb more moisture, thereby increasing moisture evaporation, improving humidification efficiency, and enhancing the humidification effect.

[0074] The beneficial effects of the carrier 100 provided in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0075] Third Embodiment

[0076] Please refer to Figure 6 This utility model embodiment provides a carrier 100. Compared with the first embodiment, the difference in this embodiment lies in the different arrangement of the fiber filaments 120.

[0077] In this embodiment, the fiber filaments 120 are arranged in a ring, and the multiple fiber filaments 120 are arranged independently of each other, that is, two adjacent fiber filaments 120 are no longer interlocked. This can reduce the spatial distribution density of the fiber filaments 120, thereby further reducing air permeability resistance, enhancing ventilation effect, and increasing air volume.

[0078] The beneficial effects of the carrier 100 provided in this embodiment are the same as those in the first embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0079] It should be noted that the above three embodiments can be implemented simultaneously on the same carrier 100, or only one or two embodiments can exist on a carrier 100. There is no limitation on this.

[0080] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
