Abstract

This utility model discloses an air conditioning unit, including a casing, a dehumidification module, a filter element, a fan module, and a water tank module. The casing has a first side and a second side facing each other. The first side has a first cavity and a second cavity arranged vertically. The dehumidification module is at least partially disposed in the first cavity. The filter element is disposed in the second cavity. The fan module and the water tank module are disposed at the upper and lower parts of the second side, respectively, and their positions are adjustable. The water tank module includes a water tank body and a humidification component. Thus, when the fan module is located at the upper part and its air inlet is connected to the first cavity, the water tank module is located at the lower part and its body is connected to the dehumidification module via a water pipe. When the fan module is located at the lower part and its air inlet is connected to the second cavity, the water tank module is located at the upper part and is connected to the air outlet of the fan module.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air handling equipment technology, specifically to an air care machine. Background Technology

[0002] This section provides only background information related to this application to enable those skilled in the art to understand this application more thoroughly and accurately, and it is not necessarily prior art.

[0003] As people's living standards improve, they have higher requirements for indoor air quality and humidity. Therefore, air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers have emerged. However, purchasing all three types of machines for home use is not only costly, but more importantly, it requires separate storage, taking up a lot of space.

[0004] Therefore, integrated humidifiers, dehumidifiers, and purifiers have emerged. Patent application number 202420745439.6 discloses an integrated humidifier, dehumidifier, and purifier, comprising a housing, a water tank, and a purification module, a dehumidifier module, a humidifier module, and a fan module located within the housing. These modules are arranged side-by-side. When the fan module is activated, air from outside the housing enters the fan module through the air inlet, purification module, humidifier module, and dehumidifier module, and is then exhausted from the housing through the air outlet. When only the purification function is needed, the humidifier is turned off. The air purification module filters out impurities as air flows through it. When humidification is needed, the dehumidification module is turned off, and the water pump is started to lift water from the tank to the humidification module, which is then wetted by the airflow. When dehumidification is needed, the water pump of the humidification module is turned off, and the compressor of the dehumidification module is started. When airflow passes through the evaporator and condenser of the dehumidification module, the water vapor in the air is condensed into condensate, thus achieving dehumidification.

[0005] However, in actual use, it was found that because the purification module, humidification module, dehumidification module and fan module are arranged side by side, if the user starts the humidification module first and then switches to the purification mode or dehumidification mode, the humidification unit is already wet. When the air flows through the wet humidification unit, it will still be humidified, so the purification function and the dehumidification function cannot be achieved, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides an air conditioning unit. Because the fan module and water tank module are adjustable in height, the humidification duct can be separated from the dehumidification and purification ducts, avoiding interference from the humidification component when switching to dehumidification-only or purification-only mode, thus ensuring the realization of both functions. Furthermore, the water tank module is equipped with a detachable humidification component. When switching to purification-only mode, the humidification component can be removed from the water tank module, or the water tank module can be directly separated from the casing. Moreover, when switching to dehumidification-only mode, the water tank body of the water tank module can also be used as a water tank for the dehumidification module, making it flexible, versatile, and practical.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its problem is: Air purification machines, including: The housing has a first side and a second side facing each other; the first side of the housing is provided with a first cavity and a second cavity arranged vertically and independently of each other; A dehumidification module, which is at least partially disposed within the first cavity; The filter element is disposed within the second cavity; The fan module and the water tank module are both located on the second side of the casing, arranged vertically and with adjustable positions; the water tank module includes a water tank body and a humidification component detachably mounted on the water tank body. When the fan module is located at the top and its air inlet is connected to the first cavity, external air can enter the first cavity under the action of the fan module, be dehumidified by the dehumidification module, and then be discharged from the air outlet of the fan module. At this time, the water tank module is located at the bottom and is connected to the water tank body and the dehumidification module through a water guide pipe. The condensate generated by the dehumidification module can be discharged into the water tank body through the water guide pipe. When the fan module is located at the bottom and its air inlet is connected to the second cavity, external air can enter the second cavity and be filtered by the filter element before being discharged from the air outlet of the fan module. At this time, the water tank module is located at the top and is connected to the air outlet of the fan module. Under the action of the humidification component, the air discharged from the air outlet of the fan module can be humidified by the humidification component and discharged.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the water tank body is provided with a through groove running vertically to form an air outlet channel. When the water tank module is located at the top, the air outlet end of the fan module is connected to the bottom of the air outlet channel. The humidification component includes a water pump and absorbent cotton, the absorbent cotton being detachably disposed at the top of the air outlet channel; the water pump is disposed inside the water tank body, the water outlet end of the water pump is connected to a water outlet pipe, and the water outlet of the water outlet pipe is connected to the absorbent cotton. Under the action of the water pump, water in the main body of the water tank can be drawn out and discharged through the outlet of the water outlet pipe to be absorbed by the water-absorbing cotton. Then, the air discharged from the air outlet of the fan module enters the air outlet channel and is humidified by the water-absorbing cotton before being discharged.

[0009] As an optional implementation, the humidification assembly further includes a mounting bracket detachably mounted on the water tank body and located at the top of the air outlet duct. The mounting bracket includes a base frame and a diverter plate rotatably covered on the base frame. The absorbent cotton is clamped between the base frame and the diverter plate. The diversion plate is equipped with a water inlet, which is connected to the outlet of the water outlet pipe; the diversion plate is used to divert water to the absorbent cotton.

[0010] As an optional implementation, the water pump is a wireless water pump, which is detachably installed inside the water tank body.

[0011] As an optional implementation, the dehumidification module includes an evaporator, a condenser, and a drip tray disposed within the first cavity, wherein: The evaporator and the condenser are arranged at intervals, with the evaporator close to the air inlet of the first cavity and the condenser close to the air outlet of the first cavity. The water receiving tray is located at the bottom of the evaporator, and the water receiving tray is connected to the water tank module through the water guide pipe; When outside air enters the first cavity, it is first cooled and condensed by the evaporator, and then heated and dried by the condenser before being discharged. During this process, the condensate produced by the evaporator can drip into the water receiving tray and flow into the water tank body through the water guide pipe.

[0012] As an optional implementation, the dehumidification module further includes a compressor and a capillary tube disposed inside the housing and located outside the first cavity. The compressor and the condenser, the condenser and the capillary tube, the capillary tube and the evaporator, and the evaporator and the compressor are all connected by pipes, and the pipes form flow channels for refrigerant to flow.

[0013] As an optional implementation, the fan module includes a housing and a fan disposed within the housing. The housing has an air inlet corresponding to the air inlet end of the fan and an air outlet corresponding to the air outlet end of the fan. The outer casing is slidably mounted on the second side of the housing via a sliding structure.

[0014] As an optional implementation, the sliding structure includes a slide rail and a pulley assembly. The slide rail is disposed on the housing and extends in the vertical direction. The pulley assembly includes a sliding seat and a plurality of pulleys disposed on the sliding seat. The sliding seat is connected to the housing, and the plurality of pulleys are all slidably disposed on the slide rail.

[0015] As an optional implementation, the slide rail includes a first vertical section at the upper end, a second vertical section at the lower end that is on the same vertical line as the first vertical section, and a third vertical section that is located between the first vertical section and the second vertical section and is spaced apart from both of them. One end of the third vertical section is connected to the first vertical section through a first inclined section, and the other end of the third vertical section is connected to the second vertical section through a second inclined section. When the outer casing slides from the first vertical section to the second vertical section or from the second vertical section to the first vertical section, its movement trajectory is as follows: first, it slides away from the casing, then slides vertically downward or upward, and finally slides towards the casing. The outer casing is also provided with a sealing ring, which is fitted around the edge of the air inlet; when the outer casing slides on the first vertical section, the air inlet communicates with the first cavity, and the sealing ring abuts against the upper part of the casing to achieve a seal; when the outer casing slides on the second vertical section, the air inlet communicates with the second cavity, and the sealing ring abuts against the lower part of the casing to achieve a seal.

[0016] As an optional implementation, a magnetic attraction structure is also provided between the housing and the outer shell. The magnetic attraction structure includes a first magnet disposed on the upper and lower parts of the housing and a second magnet disposed on the outer shell. The first magnet and the second magnet have opposite magnetic poles. When the outer shell slides on the first vertical section or the second vertical section, the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically attracted to each other.

[0017] As an optional implementation, it also includes a positioning structure disposed between the housing and the outer shell. The positioning structure includes positioning holes disposed on the upper and lower parts of the housing, an elastic positioning block passing through the outer shell, and a button for driving the elastic positioning block to extend and retract. When the button is pressed, the elastic positioning block retracts into the housing, causing the housing to slide up and down. When the housing slides onto the first or second vertical section and the button is released, the elastic positioning block extends and engages in the positioning hole to achieve locking and positioning.

[0018] As an optional implementation, the sealing ring is a lip-type sealing ring with a Y-shaped lip protruding from its front end, the lip being used to abut against the housing to achieve a seal.

[0019] In summary, the air conditioning machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: (1) The air conditioning unit of this utility model has adjustable fan module and water tank module, so the humidification air duct can be separated from the dehumidification air duct and the purification air duct, respectively, so as to avoid the influence of the humidification component when switching to dehumidification mode or purification mode only, thus ensuring the realization of dehumidification function only and purification function only; in addition, the water tank module is also equipped with a detachable humidification component. When switching to purification mode only, the humidification component on the water tank module can be removed or the water tank module can be directly separated from the casing; in addition, when switching to dehumidification mode only, the water tank body in the water tank module can also be used as the water tank of the dehumidification module, which is flexible and practical.

[0020] (2) When the outer shell of the air conditioning machine of this utility model slides along the slide rail from top to bottom or from bottom to top, its movement trajectory is first to slide away from the machine shell, then to slide vertically upward or downward, and finally to slide closer to the machine shell. When the outer shell slides closer to the machine shell until the air inlet on the outer shell is connected to the first cavity or the second cavity respectively, the sealing ring on the outer shell abuts against the machine shell to achieve sealing, avoiding air leakage and causing the humidification, dehumidification and purification functions to fail, thereby improving the reliability of the product.

[0021] (3) The air conditioning machine of this utility model has a magnetic attraction structure between the housing and the outer shell. When the outer shell slides towards the housing until the air inlet on the outer shell is connected to the first cavity or the second cavity respectively, the housing and the outer shell are magnetically attracted by the magnetic attraction structure, so that the sealing ring on the outer shell fits more tightly with the housing, and further improves the air duct sealing.

[0024] To better understand and implement this invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the module 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.

[0026] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0027] See Figure 1-16This utility model provides an air conditioning machine, including a housing 1, which has a first side and a second side opposite to each other. In this embodiment, the first side is the front side of the housing 1, and the second side is the rear side of the housing 1. The front side of the housing 1 is provided with a first cavity 11 and a second cavity 12 arranged vertically and independently of each other. In addition, it also includes a dehumidification module, a filter element 3, a fan module 4, and a water tank module 5. The dehumidification module is at least partially disposed in the first cavity 11. The filter element 3 is disposed in the second cavity 12. The fan module 4 and the water tank module 5 are both disposed on the second side of the housing 1 and are arranged vertically and their positions are adjustable. The water tank module 5 includes a water tank body 51 and a humidification component 53 that is detachably disposed on the water tank body 51.

[0028] Therefore, when the fan module 4 is set on the upper rear side of the casing 1 and corresponding to the dehumidification module, the air inlet of the fan module 4 is connected to the first cavity 11. Under the action of the fan module 4, external air can enter the first cavity 11 and be dehumidified by the dehumidification module before entering the air inlet of the fan module 4, and then being discharged to the outside from the air outlet of the fan module 4, thereby achieving air dehumidification. At the same time, the water tank module 5 is set on the lower rear side of the casing 1 and located below the fan module 4. The water tank body 51 in the water tank module 5 is connected to the dehumidification module through the water guide pipe 231. During the dehumidification process, the condensate generated by the dehumidification module can be discharged into the water tank body 51 through the water guide pipe 231.

[0029] When the fan module 4 is set at the lower rear side of the housing 1 and corresponding to the filter element 3, the air inlet of the fan module 4 is connected to the second cavity 12. Under the action of the fan module 4, external air can enter the second cavity 12 and be filtered by the filter element 3 before being discharged from the air outlet of the fan module 4. At this time, the water tank module 5 is set at the upper rear side of the housing 1 and above the fan module 4, and the water tank module 5 is connected to the air outlet of the fan module 4. Under the action of the humidification component 53, the air discharged from the air outlet of the fan module 4 can be humidified by the humidification component 53 and discharged, thereby achieving air purification and humidification.

[0030] It should be noted that if only air purification is required, the humidification component 53 on the water tank module 5 can be removed or the water tank module 5 can be directly separated from the casing 1. The operation is very simple.

[0031] Therefore, the air conditioning unit of this utility model, because the vertical positions of the fan module 4 and the water tank module 5 are adjustable, can separate the humidification air duct from the dehumidification air duct and the purification air duct, respectively. This avoids the influence of the humidification component 53 when switching to dehumidification-only mode or purification-only mode, thus ensuring the realization of the dehumidification-only and purification-only functions. In addition, when switching to dehumidification-only mode, the water tank body 51 in the water tank module 5 can also be used as a water tank for the dehumidification module, making it flexible, versatile and practical.

[0032] In addition, the air conditioning unit also includes a first front panel 6 and a second front panel 7. Both the first cavity 11 and the second cavity 12 have front openings. The first front panel 6 covers the front opening of the first cavity 11, and the second front panel 7 covers the front opening of the second cavity 12. The first front panel 6 is provided with several first air inlets 61 to form the air inlet end of the first cavity 11, and the second front panel 7 is provided with several second air inlets 71 to form the air inlet end of the second cavity 12. The rear wall of the first cavity 11 is provided with several first air outlets 111 to form the air outlet end of the first cavity 11, and the rear wall of the second cavity 12 is provided with several second air outlets 121 to form the air outlet end of the second cavity 12. Therefore, when the fan module 4 is set on the upper rear side of the housing 1 and is arranged in a corresponding manner to the dehumidification module, the air inlet of the fan module 4 is connected to the air outlet of the first cavity 11; when the fan module 4 is set on the lower rear side of the housing 1 and is arranged in a corresponding manner to the filter element 3, the air inlet of the fan module 4 is connected to the air outlet of the second cavity 12.

[0033] See Figure 7-9 The water tank body 51 has a through groove 511 that runs vertically through it to form an air outlet channel. When the water tank module 5 is located at the upper rear side of the housing 1 and the fan module 4 is located at the lower rear side of the housing 1, the air outlet end of the fan module 4 is connected to the bottom of the air outlet channel. The humidification component 53 includes a water pump 533 and a water-absorbing cotton 532. The water-absorbing cotton 532 is detachably installed at the top of the air outlet channel. The water pump 533 is installed inside the water tank body 51. The water outlet end of the water pump 533 is connected to a water outlet pipe 534. The water outlet of the water outlet pipe 534 is connected to the water-absorbing cotton 532.

[0034] Therefore, under the action of the water pump 533, the water in the water tank body 51 can be drawn out and discharged through the outlet of the water outlet pipe 534 to be absorbed by the water absorbent cotton 532. Then, the air discharged from the air outlet of the fan module 4 can enter the air outlet channel and be humidified by the water absorbent cotton 532 before being discharged, thereby achieving the humidification of the air.

[0035] In this embodiment, a second cover plate 52 is generally disposed on the water tank body 51, and the second cover plate 52 has a plurality of first through holes 521 for air to be discharged.

[0036] More specifically, the humidification component 53 also includes a mounting bracket 531 that can be detachably placed on the water tank body 51 and located at the top of the air outlet channel. The mounting bracket 531 includes a base frame 5311 and a diverter plate 5312 that is rotatably covered on the base frame 5311. The absorbent cotton 532 is sandwiched between the base frame 5311 and the diverter plate 5312. The diverter plate 5312 has a water inlet cavity, and the water inlet cavity has several rectangular enclosures arranged in parallel and spaced apart to form several diverter channels arranged in a cross pattern. The enclosures have through holes that run vertically through them, and the enclosures have several openings that connect the diverter channels and the through holes respectively. With this configuration, when water flows into the water inlet cavity, the several diverter channels can divert the water and then flow through the through holes in the enclosures to the absorbent cotton 532, thereby ensuring that the absorbent cotton 532 absorbs water evenly.

[0037] The diverter plate 5312 is also provided with a water inlet 53121 that connects to the water inlet chamber. The water inlet 53121 passes through the base frame 5311 and is connected to and conducts with the water outlet of the water outlet pipe 534. Understandably, the base frame 5311 is also provided with several through holes to allow air to flow through and pass through the absorbent cotton 532 for humidification.

[0038] In this embodiment, the water pump 533 is a wireless water pump, which is detachably installed inside the water tank body 51.

[0039] Therefore, by detachably installing the water pump 533 inside the water tank body 51, when it is necessary to clean the water tank module 5, the water pump 533, water outlet pipe 534, mounting bracket 531 and water-absorbing cotton 532 installed on the water tank body 51 can all be removed, making cleaning very convenient.

[0040] It should be noted that the water pump 533 is equipped with a receiving coil inside, and the water tank body 51 is equipped with a transmitting coil. The receiving coil and the transmitting coil are arranged in correspondence to realize the power supply of the water pump 533.

[0041] See also Figure 2 The dehumidification module includes an evaporator 21, a condenser 22, and a water tray 23 disposed within a first cavity 11. The evaporator 21 and condenser 22 are arranged at intervals, with the evaporator 21 near the air inlet of the first cavity 11 and the condenser 22 near the air outlet of the first cavity 11. The water tray 23 is located at the bottom of the evaporator 21 and is connected to the water tank module 5 via a water guide pipe 231. Thus, when external air enters the cavity through the air inlet of the first cavity 11, it is first cooled and condensed by the evaporator 21, and then heated and dried by the condenser 22 before being discharged. During this process, the condensate produced by the evaporator 21 drips into the water tray 23 and flows into the water tank body 51 through the water guide pipe 231.

[0042] In addition, the dehumidification module also includes a compressor (not shown in the figure) and a capillary tube (not shown in the figure) disposed inside the side of the casing 1 and outside the first cavity 11. The compressor and the condenser 22, the condenser 22 and the capillary tube, the capillary tube and the evaporator 21, and the evaporator 21 and the compressor are all connected by pipes, and the pipes form a flow channel for refrigerant to flow.

[0043] Therefore, when refrigerant is injected into the compressor, the low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant is compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant under the action of the compressor. Then, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser 22, and under the action of the condenser 22, the high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant is transformed into a low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant. Then, it enters the capillary tube to transform the low-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant into a low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant and enters the evaporator 21. The low-temperature, low-pressure liquid refrigerant evaporates and absorbs heat to become a high-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant. Then, when it flows back through the pipeline, the gaseous refrigerant continuously cools down and forms a low-temperature, low-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which then flows back into the compressor, and so on.

[0044] For external air, when the humid air passes through the evaporator 21 and absorbs the cold energy of the refrigerant to reach a saturated vapor state, the humid air cools down and causes the water vapor in the air to condense into liquid and drip into the water collection pan 23 for collection. Then, the dehumidified cold air passes through the condenser 22 and absorbs the heat of the refrigerant before being heated and dried and discharged.

[0045] See Figure 10 as well as Figure 13-14 The fan module 4 includes a housing 41 and a fan 43 disposed inside the housing 41. An air inlet 411 is provided on the housing 41 corresponding to the air inlet end of the fan 43, and an air outlet 412 is provided on the housing 41 corresponding to the air outlet end of the fan 43. In this embodiment, the air inlet 411 is located on the front side plate of the housing 41, and the air outlet 412 is located on the top plate of the housing 41.

[0046] In this embodiment, a first cover plate 42 is also provided on the top of the outer casing 41, and an air outlet grille 421 is provided on the first cover plate 42 for air outlet.

[0047] The front panel of the outer casing 41 is slidably mounted on the rear side of the housing 1 via a sliding structure 8. Specifically, the sliding structure 8 includes a slide rail 81 and a pulley assembly 82. The slide rail 81 is mounted on the front side of the housing 1 and extends vertically. Specifically, the slide rail 81 includes two slide rail bodies arranged at left and right intervals. The pulley assembly 82 includes a sliding seat 821 and a plurality of pulleys 822 arranged on the left and right sides of the sliding seat 821. The sliding seat 821 slides on the two slide rail bodies via the pulleys 822 on both sides. The front panel of the outer casing 41 also has a protruding mounting seat 413, which extends between the two slide rail bodies and connects with the sliding seat 821 to achieve assembly.

[0048] The sliding seat 821 has a plurality of first mounting holes 8211 spaced apart in the vertical direction, and the mounting seat 413 has a plurality of second mounting holes 4131 correspondingly provided. Preferably, the first mounting holes 8211 are through holes and the second mounting holes 4131 are threaded holes. The connection and fixation between the mounting seat 413 and the sliding seat 821 can be achieved by passing a bolt through the first mounting holes 8211 and threading it into the second mounting holes 4131.

[0049] In this embodiment, the sliding structure 8 is provided in four sets; wherein, the four slide rails 81 are respectively provided in pairs on the upper and lower parts of the housing 1, and the two slide rails 81 located on the upper part and the two slide rails 81 located on the lower part are arranged at intervals on the left and right; the four pulley assemblies 82 are respectively slidably mounted on the four slide rails 81; the mounting base 413 is provided in four sets and is located at the four corners of the front side plate of the housing 41.

[0050] See Figure 12 The slide rail body includes a first vertical section 811 at the upper end, a second vertical section 812 at the lower end that is on the same vertical line as the first vertical section 811, and a third vertical section 813 that is located between the first vertical section 811 and the second vertical section 812 and is spaced apart from them. One end of the third vertical section 813 is connected to the first vertical section 811 through a first inclined section 814, and the other end of the third vertical section 813 is connected to the second vertical section 812 through a second inclined section 815. The two first vertical sections 811 on the two slide rail bodies are connected by a horizontal section to form a slide rail 81.

[0051] Therefore, when the outer casing 41 slides along the slide rail 81 from top to bottom or from bottom to top via the pulley assembly 82, its movement trajectory is as follows: first, it slides away from the casing 1, then it slides vertically upward or downward, and finally it slides towards the casing 1.

[0052] In addition, a sealing ring 44 is provided on the front side plate of the outer casing 41. The sealing ring 44 is fitted on the edge of the air inlet 411. When the outer casing 41 slides on the first vertical section 811, the air inlet 411 is connected to the air outlet of the first cavity 11, and the sealing ring 44 abuts against the upper part of the casing 1 to achieve a seal. When the outer casing 41 slides on the second vertical section 812, the air inlet 411 is connected to the air outlet of the second cavity 12, and the sealing ring 44 abuts against the lower part of the casing 1 to achieve a seal.

[0053] Therefore, when the outer casing 41 slides along the slide rail 81 from top to bottom or from bottom to top, its movement trajectory is as follows: first, it slides away from the casing 1, then rises or falls vertically, and finally slides closer to the casing 1. When the outer casing 41 slides closer to the casing 1 until the air inlet 411 on the outer casing 41 is connected to the air outlet of the first cavity 11 or the air outlet of the second cavity 12, the sealing ring 44 on the outer casing 41 abuts against the casing 1 to achieve a seal, thereby preventing air duct leakage and causing the humidification, dehumidification and purification functions to fail, thus improving the reliability of the product.

[0054] Furthermore, it also includes a magnetic attraction structure disposed between the housing 1 and the outer casing 41. This magnetic attraction structure includes a plurality of first magnets 13 disposed on the upper and lower parts of the housing 1 and a plurality of second magnets 45 disposed on the outer casing 41 and corresponding to the first magnets 13. The first magnets 13 and second magnets 45 have opposite magnetic poles. Preferably, the first magnets 13 are magnets and are arranged circumferentially around the upper and lower parts of the second side of the housing 1. The second magnets 45 are a plurality of magnetic strips arranged circumferentially around the front side plate of the outer casing 41. The magnetic strips are connected to the front side plate of the outer casing 41 and press and fix the sealing ring 44 onto the outer casing 41. Thus, when the outer casing 41 slides on the first vertical section 811 or the second vertical section 812, the first magnets 13 and second magnets 45 are magnetically attracted, thereby making the sealing ring 44 on the outer casing 41 fit more tightly with the housing 1, further improving the air duct sealing performance.

[0055] Among them, see Figure 16 The sealing ring 44 is a lip-shaped sealing ring with a forward-convex lip 441. Thus, when the outer casing 41 is slidably mounted on the first vertical section 811 or the second vertical section 812, the lip 441 can abut against the rear side of the casing 1. Its lip can deform under the abutment and compression force, and make the lip 441 tightly fit against the casing 1. The greater the force, the tighter the fit and the better the sealing performance.

[0056] In addition, a positioning structure is provided between the housing 1 and the outer shell 41. The positioning structure includes positioning holes respectively provided on the upper and lower parts of the housing 1, elastic positioning blocks passing through the outer shell 41, and buttons for driving the elastic positioning blocks to extend and retract. Specifically, the positioning holes include two first positioning holes 14 opened on one side of the housing 1 and arranged vertically, and two second positioning holes 15 opened on the other side of the housing 1 and arranged vertically. The elastic positioning blocks include two first elastic positioning blocks 415 passing through the outer shell 41 and corresponding to the first positioning holes 14, and two second elastic positioning blocks 417 passing through the outer shell 41 and corresponding to the second positioning holes 15. The buttons are a first button 414 provided on one side of the outer shell 41 and drivingly cooperating with the first elastic positioning blocks 415, and a second button 416 provided on the other side of the outer shell 41 and drivingly cooperating with the second elastic positioning blocks 417.

[0057] Therefore, when the user presses the first button 414 and the second button 416 simultaneously, the first elastic positioning block 415 and the second elastic positioning block 417 can be retracted into the housing 41, respectively. At this time, the fan module 4 can slide up and down. When the fan module 4 slides to the upper part of the housing 1 and its air inlet 411 is connected to the air outlet of the first cavity 11, the first button 414 and the second button 416 can be released. The first elastic positioning block 415 will then retract and lock into the first positioning hole 14, and the second elastic positioning block 417 will retract into the housing 41. The first elastic positioning block 415 retracts and engages with the second positioning hole 15, thereby securing the fan module 4 to the upper part of the housing 1. Conversely, when the fan module 4 slides close to the lower part of the housing 1 and its outer shell 41 air inlet 411 connects with the air outlet of the second cavity 12, the first button 414 and the second button 416 can be released. The first elastic positioning block 415 retracts and engages with the first positioning hole 14, and the second elastic positioning block 417 retracts and engages with the second positioning hole 15, thereby securing the fan module 4 to the lower part of the housing 1. Thus, by setting a positioning structure between the housing 1 and the outer shell 41, the fan module 4 can be secured and positioned when it slides to a certain position, ensuring the stability and firmness of the fan module 4.

[0058] In other embodiments, the fan module 4 is also equipped with a negative ion generator and / or an ultraviolet disinfection module. The negative ion generator can actively adsorb positively charged suspended particles such as dust, pollen, and PM2.5 in the air, and can also decompose volatile organic compounds such as formaldehyde and smoke, thereby improving air quality. The ultraviolet disinfection module can destroy the DNA / RNA structure of bacteria, viruses, and molds, rendering them inactive, thereby reducing microorganisms in the air and on the fan surface, and thus achieving a sterilization effect.

[0059] It should be noted that both the negative ion generator and the ultraviolet disinfection module are commercially available, and their structure and working principle are existing technologies, which are not the focus of this application, so they will not be described in detail here.

[0060] In summary, the air conditioning machine provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects: (i) The air conditioning unit of this utility model has adjustable fan module 4 and water tank module 5, which can separate the humidification air duct from the dehumidification air duct and the purification air duct, respectively. This avoids the influence of the humidification component 53 when switching to dehumidification mode or purification mode only, thus ensuring the realization of dehumidification mode only and purification mode only. In addition, the water tank module 5 is also equipped with a detachable humidification component 53. When switching to purification mode only, the humidification component 53 on the water tank module 5 can be removed or the water tank module 5 can be directly separated from the casing. Furthermore, when switching to dehumidification mode only, the water tank body 51 in the water tank module 5 can also be used as a water tank for the dehumidification module, which is flexible and practical.

[0061] (II) When the outer shell 41 slides along the slide rail 81 from top to bottom or from bottom to top, its movement trajectory is as follows: first slide away from the housing 1, then slide vertically upward or downward, and finally slide towards the housing 1. When the outer shell 41 slides towards the housing 1 until the air inlet on the outer shell 41 is connected to the first cavity 11 or the second cavity 12 respectively, the sealing ring 44 on the outer shell 41 abuts against the housing 1 to achieve a seal, thereby preventing air leakage and failure of humidification, dehumidification and purification functions, thus improving the reliability of the product.

[0062] (III) The air conditioning machine of this utility model has a magnetic attraction structure between the housing 1 and the outer shell 41. When the outer shell 41 slides towards the housing 1 until the air inlet on the outer shell 41 is connected to the first cavity 11 or the second cavity 12 respectively, the housing 1 and the outer shell 41 are magnetically attracted by the magnetic attraction structure, so that the sealing ring 44 on the outer shell 41 fits more tightly with the housing 1, and further improves the air duct sealing.
