Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning humidification technology, and in particular to an air conditioning drainage circulation humidifier. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese document CN215336839U describes an air conditioner humidifier, comprising a humidifier body, an installation mechanism on the top wall of the humidifier body, an air conditioner drain pipe at the rear end of the humidifier body, a first quick connector connected to the air conditioner drain pipe, a circulation pipe connected to the first quick connector, a first ball valve installed on the circulation pipe, and the circulation pipe communicating with the interior of the humidifier body. A third ball valve is also installed on the air conditioner drain pipe. This invention, through the installation mechanism, mounts the humidifier body to the bottom of an air conditioner, and allows adjustment of the distance between the humidifier and the air conditioner. The circulation pipe connects to the air conditioner drain pipe, and the first and third ball valves control the direction of drainage, allowing condensate generated during air conditioner use to be injected into a water storage area. This saves water resources and solves the problems of poor coordination between humidifiers and air conditioners after installation, limited moisture diffusion range, and significant water waste.
[0003] After investigation and analysis, the patent has the following drawbacks in actual use:
[0004] The device does not optimize the distribution and evaporation process of condensate. The water is directly injected into the water storage area and evaporates naturally. The limited contact area with the air results in slow evaporation and low humidification efficiency. Although the device collects condensate as a water source, it does not have an effective reflux structure. Unevaporated water is prone to stagnation in the water storage area, which not only causes waste but may also lead to bacterial growth due to long-term water accumulation, affecting the hygiene of humidification.
[0005] In summary, this application proposes an air conditioning drainage circulation humidifier to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioner drainage circulation humidifier that can solve the problems of not optimizing the distribution and evaporation process of condensate water, water flowing directly into the water storage area and evaporating naturally, resulting in a limited contact area with the air, which leads to slow evaporation and low humidification efficiency. At the same time, although the device collects condensate water as a water source, it does not have an effective return structure, and the unevaporated water is easy to remain in the water storage area, which not only causes waste, but may also lead to the growth of bacteria due to long-term water accumulation, affecting the hygiene of humidification.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an air conditioner drainage circulation humidifier, comprising:
[0008] shell;
[0009] A water receiving assembly is mounted on the outer casing. The water receiving assembly includes a guide bucket, a connecting pipe, and a water storage tank. The bottom of the guide bucket is fixedly installed with the top of the water storage tank, and the connecting pipe is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide bucket.
[0010] An evaporative humidification component is mounted on the outer casing. The evaporative humidification component includes a fixed frame, an evaporation mesh, a horizontal pipe, and a water supply pipe. The evaporation mesh is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the fixed frame, and the horizontal pipes are fixedly installed on the inner walls of both sides of the fixed frame. One end of the water supply pipe passes through the fixed frame and is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the horizontal pipe.
[0011] Preferably, the water receiving assembly further includes a water pump. Both the water storage tank and the water pump are fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the outer casing. The other end of the connecting pipe passes through the outer casing and is connected to the air conditioner drain pipe interface via a flexible hose. A support plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide bucket. One side of the support plate is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the outer casing. A water delivery pipe is fixedly installed on the output end of the water pump. The other end of the water delivery pipe extends into the interior of the water storage tank. The air conditioner condensate is accurately collected through the guide bucket and the connecting pipe, converting traditionally wasted water resources into humidification water sources without the need to add tap water. The cooperation between the water storage tank and the water pump enables the temporary storage and stable delivery of condensate, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted humidification. The support plate's fixation of the guide bucket enhances structural stability, prevents component displacement caused by water flow impact, and extends the service life of the device. The water delivery pipe extends directly into the interior of the water storage tank, reducing losses during water delivery and improving water circulation efficiency.
[0012] Preferably, the evaporative humidification assembly further includes a return pipe, a fixed frame that is inclined, a support frame that is fixedly installed on the rear side of the fixed frame, the support frame that is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the outer shell, the other end of the water supply pipe that is fixedly installed to the output end of the water pump, a return pipe that is fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame, the other end of the return pipe that extends into the interior of the water storage tank, and a water outlet hole that is opened on the outer wall of the horizontal pipe. The inclined fixed frame makes the water flow distribution on the surface of the evaporation net more uniform, prolongs the contact time between water and air, and improves the evaporation efficiency. The cooperation between the horizontal pipe and the water supply pipe delivers water evenly to the top of the evaporation net, ensuring that the water film covers the entire area and avoiding local dryness. The return pipe guides the excess water that has not evaporated back to the water storage tank, realizing the secondary utilization of water resources and further saving energy. The support frame reinforces the fixed frame and can resist the impact of the fan airflow, ensuring the stable operation of the evaporation net.
[0013] Preferably, a partition is fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the housing, and a controller is fixedly installed on one side of the partition. The partition divides the interior of the housing into a water receiving area and an evaporation area, preventing water from directly contacting electrical components and improving electrical safety.
[0014] Preferably, an opening is provided on one side of the outer wall of the outer shell, and a fan is fixedly installed in the opening. A through hole is provided on the partition plate, which provides a directional channel for airflow, guiding the dry air to flow precisely to the evaporation net, thereby enhancing the humidification efficiency. The fan accelerates the airflow inside the outer shell, allowing the humidified air passing through the evaporation net to quickly diffuse into the room, thus solving the problems of low natural evaporation efficiency and small humidification range.
[0015] Preferably, the front side of the outer casing has an air outlet that faces directly into the indoor space, reducing the retention of humid air inside the device.
[0016] Preferably, the rear side of the housing is provided with a mounting back plate, and the mounting back plate is provided with two sets of brackets that are symmetrically distributed. The front side of the brackets is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the rear side of the housing. The mounting back plate and the brackets are fixedly installed by bolts, so that the device can be stably fixed to the position below the air conditioner.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] (1) The air conditioner drainage circulation humidifier uses the guide bucket, connecting pipe, water storage tank and water pump to accurately collect air conditioner condensate through the guide bucket and connecting pipe, turning the traditionally wasted water resources into humidification water source without the need to add tap water. The combination of water storage tank and water pump realizes the temporary storage and stable delivery of condensate, ensuring that the humidification process is continuous and uninterrupted. The support plate fixes the guide bucket, which enhances the structural stability, prevents the displacement of components caused by water flow impact, and improves the service life of the device. The water delivery pipe extends directly into the water storage tank, reducing the loss in the water delivery process and improving the water circulation efficiency.
[0019] (2) The air conditioner drainage circulation humidifier uses a fixed frame, evaporation net, horizontal pipe, water supply pipe and return pipe in combination. The inclined fixed frame makes the water flow distribution on the surface of the evaporation net more uniform, prolongs the contact time between water and air and improves the evaporation efficiency. The combination of the horizontal pipe and the water supply pipe delivers water evenly to the top of the evaporation net to ensure that the water film is fully covered and avoids local drying. The return pipe guides the excess water that has not evaporated back to the water storage tank to realize the secondary use of water resources and further save energy. The support frame reinforces the fixed frame and can resist the impact of the fan airflow to ensure the stable operation of the evaporation net. Attached Figure Description

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.
[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: an air conditioner drainage circulation humidifier, including a shell 1, a water receiving component and an evaporative humidification component. The water receiving component is disposed on the shell 1 and includes a guide bucket 2, a connecting pipe 3 and a water storage tank 4. The bottom of the guide bucket 2 is fixedly installed with the top of the water storage tank 4, and the connecting pipe 3 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide bucket 2. The evaporative humidification component is disposed on the shell 1 and includes a fixed frame 6, an evaporation mesh 7, a horizontal pipe 8 and a water supply pipe 9. The evaporation mesh 7 is fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the fixed frame 6, and the horizontal pipe 8 is fixedly installed on both inner walls of the fixed frame 6. One end of the water supply pipe 9 passes through the fixed frame 6 and is fixedly installed with the outer wall of the horizontal pipe 8.
[0028] Furthermore, the water receiving assembly also includes a water pump 5. Both the water storage tank 4 and the water pump 5 are fixedly installed on the inner bottom of the outer casing 1. The other end of the connecting pipe 3 passes through the outer casing 1 and is connected to the air conditioner drain pipe interface via a flexible hose. A support plate is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the guide bucket 2, with one side of the support plate fixedly installed against one side of the inner wall of the outer casing 1. A water delivery pipe is fixedly installed at the output end of the water pump 5, with the other end of the water delivery pipe extending into the interior of the water storage tank 4. The condensate generated during air conditioner operation is guided into the guide bucket 2 through the connecting pipe 3, thus concentrating and diverting the condensate. The condensate is temporarily stored in the water storage tank 4. The air conditioner condensate is precisely collected through the guide bucket 2 and the connecting pipe 3, transforming the traditionally wasted water resources into a humidification water source without the need to add tap water. The cooperation between the water storage tank 4 and the water pump 5 enables the temporary storage and stable delivery of condensate, ensuring continuous and uninterrupted humidification. The support plate's fixation of the guide bucket 2 enhances structural stability, prevents component displacement caused by water flow impact, and extends the service life of the device. The water delivery pipe extends directly into the water storage tank 4, reducing losses during water delivery and improving water circulation efficiency.
[0029] Furthermore, the evaporative humidification assembly also includes a return pipe 10, a fixed frame 6 set at an angle, a support frame fixedly installed on the rear side of the fixed frame 6, the support frame fixedly installed on the rear inner wall of the outer casing 1, the other end of the water supply pipe 9 fixedly installed to the output of the water pump 5, a return pipe 10 fixedly installed on one side of the fixed frame 6, the other end of the return pipe 10 extending into the interior of the water storage tank 4, and a water outlet hole opened on the outer wall of the horizontal pipe 8. Water is pumped into the horizontal pipe 8 through the water supply pipe 9, and the water flows through the water outlet hole on the horizontal pipe and drips onto the evaporation net 7. The evaporation net is made of hydrophilic fiber material, which can quickly absorb water and form a uniform water film. Excess water that has not evaporated flows down the evaporation net to the bottom and is then returned to the water storage tank 4 via the return pipe 10, achieving water recycling. The inclined fixed frame 6 makes the water flow distribution on the surface of the evaporation net 7 more uniform, prolongs the contact time between water and air, and improves evaporation efficiency. The cooperation between the horizontal pipe 8 and the water supply pipe 9 delivers water evenly to the top of the evaporation net 7, ensuring full coverage of the water film and avoiding localized drying. The return pipe 10 guides the excess water that has not evaporated back to the water storage tank 4, realizing the secondary utilization of water resources and further saving energy. The support frame reinforces the fixed frame, which can resist the impact of the fan airflow and ensure the stable operation of the evaporation net.
[0030] Furthermore, a partition 11 is fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the outer casing 1, and a controller 14 is fixedly installed on one side of the partition 11. The partition 11 divides the interior of the outer casing 1 into a water receiving area and an evaporation area, thereby preventing water from directly contacting electrical components and improving electrical safety.
[0031] Furthermore, an opening is provided on one side of the outer wall of the outer casing 1, and a fan 12 is fixedly installed inside the opening. A through hole 13 is provided on the partition 11. When the fan 12 is turned on, dry indoor air is drawn in from the air inlet on the side of the outer casing 1. The air flows through the through hole 13 on the partition 11 and passes through the evaporation net 7. At this time, the water film on the surface of the evaporation net 7 comes into full contact with the flowing air, and the moisture evaporates naturally into the air, increasing the air humidity. The humid air carrying water vapor is discharged through the air outlet 15 on the front side of the outer casing 1. The through hole 13 provides a directional channel for the airflow, guiding the dry air to flow precisely to the evaporation net, enhancing the humidification efficiency. The setting of the fan 12 accelerates the airflow inside the outer casing 1, allowing the humid air passing through the evaporation net 7 to quickly diffuse into the room, solving the problems of low natural evaporation efficiency and small humidification range.
[0032] Secondly, an air outlet 15 is provided on the front side of the outer casing 1, which faces the indoor space directly, reducing the retention of humid air inside the device.
[0033] Secondly, a mounting backplate 16 is provided on the rear side of the outer casing 1. Two sets of brackets 17 are provided on the mounting backplate 16 and are symmetrically distributed. The front side of the brackets 17 is fixedly installed to the inner wall of the rear side of the outer casing 1. The mounting backplate 16 and the brackets 17 are fixedly installed by bolts, so that the device can be stably fixed below the air conditioner.
[0034] Working principle: The condensate generated by the air conditioner is guided into the guide hopper 2 through the connecting pipe 3, and the condensate is concentrated and guided to the water storage tank 4 for temporary storage. The water pump 5 is started, and the water is pumped into the horizontal pipe 8 through the water supply pipe 9. The water flows through the water outlet on the horizontal pipe and drips onto the evaporation net 7. The evaporation net is made of hydrophilic fiber material, which can quickly absorb water and form a uniform water film. Excess water that has not evaporated flows along the evaporation net to the bottom and flows back into the water storage tank 4 through the return pipe 10, realizing water recycling. The fan 12 is started, and dry indoor air is drawn in from the air inlet on the side of the outer shell 1. The air flows through the through hole 13 on the partition 11 and through the evaporation net 7. At this time, the water film on the surface of the evaporation net 7 is in full contact with the flowing air, and the water evaporates naturally into the air, increasing the air humidity. The humid air carrying water vapor is discharged through the air outlet 15 on the front of the outer shell 1 and diffuses into the indoor environment. The device can be fixed to the outside of the air conditioner by the mounting back plate 16 and bracket 17 on the back.
[0035] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
