Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, specifically to a humidification structure, an air conditioning unit, and an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Floor-standing air conditioners are a type of split-type air conditioner, commonly used in homes and small offices. They have advantages such as high power and strong airflow, and their starting price is relatively higher. They are usually suitable for larger rooms.

[0003] With the development of the air conditioning industry, in order to meet more user needs, cabinet air conditioners need to have not only the basic functions of cooling and heating, but also the function of humidification. However, most existing cabinet air conditioners use two types of humidification: evaporative humidification and steam humidification. Evaporative humidification achieves the humidification effect by evaporating water through a wet film or evaporator. However, this method increases humidity slowly, and the wet film or evaporator is prone to mold growth and odor after continuous use for a long time, affecting user health and user experience. Steam humidification requires an independent humidification system to make water evaporate quickly. Although it can achieve rapid humidification, it will significantly increase the energy consumption of cabinet air conditioners, increasing the production and use costs of cabinet air conditioners.

[0030] To make the technical means, creative features, achieved objectives and functions of this utility model clearer and easier to understand, the utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0031] like Figure 2-3 as well as Figure 5-6 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a humidification structure, including: a duct housing 2, the air outlet of which is arranged horizontally; a water storage component, which is installed on the duct housing 2; a water inlet component, which is disposed at the lower part of the water storage component, the water inlet of which is connected to the water storage component; a water receiving component, which is slidably and detachably disposed at the lower part of the air outlet of the duct housing 2 in a horizontal direction, the water receiving component is connected to the interior of the air outlet of the duct housing 2, the water outlet of which is located directly above the water inlet of the water receiving component; and a humidification assembly, which includes a drive component fixedly installed on the side wall of the duct housing 2 and a wet curtain rotatably installed between the air outlet of the duct housing 2 and the water receiving component, the power output end of which freely passes through the duct housing 2 and is connected to the wet curtain, the wet curtain rotating between a vertical and a horizontal state.

[0032] Water is added to the water storage unit, and the water inlet device guides the water from the storage unit into the water receiving unit. The drive unit is then activated to rotate the wet curtain to a vertical position, so that the lower part of the wet curtain is immersed in the water in the water receiving unit for water absorption and wetting. The airflow in the duct housing 2 needs to pass through the wet curtain before being blown out, thereby achieving the function of humidifying the airflow. It is easy to operate, has a simple structure, and has a good humidification effect. When not humidifying, all the water in the water storage unit is drained into the water receiving unit through the water inlet device. Then, the water receiving unit is slid off to empty the water, and the drive unit is activated to rotate the wet curtain to a horizontal position, so that the air in the duct housing 2 is blown out directly without passing through the wet curtain. At this time, the air in the duct housing 2 will dry the wet curtain, ensuring that the wet curtain will not become moldy or smelly.

[0033] like Figure 2-3 as well as Figure 5-6As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the humidification structure preferably has an L-shaped air duct housing 2, with the air outlet being the free end of the horizontal section of the air duct housing 2. A notch 21 is provided at the lower part of the free end of the horizontal section of the air duct housing 2. The water storage component and the water intake component are arranged along the vertical section of the air duct housing 2 and located within the included angle of the air duct housing 2. The water receiving component is located directly below the notch 21. The wet curtain is rotatably installed between the notch 21 and the water receiving component. Preferably, a plurality of oscillating blades 22 are rotatably installed at intervals along the vertical direction inside the free end of the horizontal section of the air duct housing 2. The plurality of oscillating blades 22 are arranged linearly along a direction perpendicular to the horizontal section of the air duct housing 2. A controller 23 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the horizontal section of the air duct housing 2. The controller 23 is connected to the plurality of oscillating blades 22 to control the plurality of oscillating blades 22 to rotate synchronously. The specific structure of the controller 23 and the principle of controlling the synchronous rotation of the plurality of oscillating blades 22 are existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] like Figure 4 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the humidification structure further optimizes the wet curtain included in the wet curtain, which includes a mounting box 7 rotatably installed in the air duct housing 2 in the horizontal direction and a water-absorbing core 71 disposed in the mounting box 7. The side wall of the mounting box 7 is an overall hollow mesh structure, and the power output end of the driving component freely passes through the air duct housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the mounting box 7. When the mounting box 7 is rotated to a vertical state, the lower part of the mounting box 7 and the water-absorbing core 71 inside it will be immersed in the water in the water receiving component. When the mounting box 7 is rotated to a horizontal state, the mounting box 7 and the water-absorbing core 71 inside it will be completely separated from the water in the water receiving component. Preferably, the side of the mounting box 7 facing the water receiving component is an open structure, and the water-absorbing core 71 is embedded into the mounting box 7 from the open structure, which ensures that the water-absorbing core 71 is easy to install and remove. Moreover, when the mounting box 7 is rotated to a vertical state, the open structure will also be completely immersed in water, so that the water-absorbing core 71 can absorb water more fully and ensure good humidification performance.

[0035] like Figure 3 As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the humidification structure further optimizes the driving component, which includes a rotating motor 72 fixedly installed on the side wall of the air duct housing 2. The power output shaft of the rotating motor 72 freely passes through the air duct housing 2 and is fixedly connected to the mounting box 7. The rotating motor 72 drives the mounting box 7 to rotate.

[0036] like Figure 1-4As shown, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the humidification structure further optimizes the water storage component, water inlet component, and water receiving component. The water storage component includes a water tank 4 fixedly installed on the side wall of the vertical section of the air duct housing 2 facing its horizontal section. The water tank 4 has a water inlet at the top and a water outlet on one side of the bottom. A cover plate 41 is snapped onto the top of the water tank 4, and a sealing plug 42 is threaded onto the cover plate 41. The cover plate 41 and the sealing plug 42 are used to seal the water inlet. The water inlet component is connected to the water outlet. The size of the water inlet is the same as the size of the top side wall of the water tank 4. The sealing plug 42 is used to add water to the water tank 4 after being unscrewed, while the cover plate 41 is used to facilitate cleaning of the water tank 4 after disassembly.

[0037] Preferably, rotating buckles 43 are rotatably installed on the upper part of the two opposing sidewalls of the water tank 4, and two hooks 44 are fixedly installed on the two opposing sidewalls of the cover plate 41. The two rotating buckles 43 are rotatably engaged with the two hooks 44, which can quickly disassemble and assemble the cover plate 41, facilitating cleaning of the inside of the water tank 4. Furthermore, a mounting hole 45 is vertically opened in the middle of the cover plate 41. The upper diameter of the mounting hole 45 is larger than its lower diameter, and the lower end of the mounting hole 45 is provided with an internal thread. The sealing plug 42 is located inside the upper end of the mounting hole 45 and is threaded to the lower end of the mounting hole 45, so that the sealing plug 42 has a small space occupation.

[0038] The water intake component includes a water outlet trough 5 fixedly installed on the side wall of the vertical section of the air duct housing 2 facing its horizontal section. The water outlet trough 5 is horizontally arranged and located directly below the water tank 4. A switch is provided between the water outlet trough 5 and the water outlet of the water tank 4 to change the water outlet state of the water tank 4. A drain hole 51 is opened on the bottom of the water outlet trough 5 near the water outlet of the water tank 4. A water channel 6 communicating with the drain hole 51 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the water outlet trough 5. The water channel 6 is located on one side of the air duct housing 2. The water outlet end of the water channel 6 enters the air duct housing 2 and is located above the water inlet end of the water receiving component. When the switch is opened, the water in the water tank 4 flows out from the water outlet and falls into the water outlet trough 5. Then, after being guided by the drain hole 51 and the water channel 6, it finally falls into the water receiving component. Preferably, the bottom of the water outlet trough 5 is inclined towards the drain hole 51 so that the water flow can better collect in the drain hole 51.

[0039] The switching device includes a telescopic motor 52 fixedly installed on the side wall of the water outlet 5 near the water outlet of the water tank 4, and a movable plug 46 movably installed on the water outlet of the water tank 4. The power output shaft of the telescopic motor 52 is fixedly connected to the movable plug 46. The telescopic motor 52 drives the movable plug 46 to move between the inner and outer sides of the water outlet to change the closed state of the water outlet. The specific mechanism and operating principle of the telescopic motor 52, the specific structure of the movable plug 46, and the principle of the telescopic motor 52 driving the movable plug 46 to move to close or open the water outlet are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0040] The water receiving component includes a water receiving trough 8 that is slidably and detachably connected to the lower part of the free end of the horizontal section of the air duct housing 2 in the horizontal direction. The water receiving trough 8 is located directly below the notch 21 and on the rotation trajectory of the mounting box 7. Preferably, the bottom of the water receiving trough 8 is provided with a sterilization module mounting position 81 and a water level sensor mounting position 82 for installing the sterilization module and the water level sensor. The sterilization module can ensure that the water in the water receiving trough 8 is clean and does not smell bad, while the water level sensor is connected to the telescopic motor 52 to monitor the water level in the water receiving trough 8 and ensure that the water absorption core 71 can absorb water stably during humidification. The specific structure of the sterilization module and the water level sensor, as well as the connection and control methods between the water level sensor and the telescopic motor 52, are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here.

[0041] like Figure 5-6 As shown, this utility model also provides an air conditioner cabinet unit, including the aforementioned humidification structure and a cabinet body 1. The cabinet body 1 has an air inlet 11 vertically opened on one side, an upper air outlet 13 at the top, and a lower air outlet 14 on the lower side of the cabinet body 1 opposite to the air inlet 11. The cabinet body 1 has a main air duct 12 that is connected to the air inlet 11, the upper air outlet 13, and the lower air outlet 14. Two centrifugal fans 3 are vertically spaced within the main air duct 12 to transport the airflow entering through the air inlet 11 to the upper air outlet 13 and the lower air outlet 14, respectively. The air duct housing 2 of the humidification structure is located at the lower air outlet 14. The rotating motor 72 is started to drive the mounting box 7 to rotate vertically to humidify the airflow discharged from the lower air outlet.

[0042] This utility model also provides an air conditioner, including the aforementioned air conditioner cabinet unit.

[0043] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, the air duct housing 2 is installed inside the cabinet body 1 and connected to the lower air outlet 14 and the main air duct 12. Then, the sealing plug 42 is unscrewed, and the water tank 4 is filled with water. After completion, the sealing plug 42 is tightened again. When the humidification function is needed, the telescopic motor 52 and the rotating motor 72 are started. The telescopic motor 52 drives the movable plug 46 to move and open the water outlet of the water tank 4, so that the water flows out from the water outlet and falls onto the water outlet 5. Then, it flows through the drain hole 51 and the water channel 6, and finally falls into the water receiving tank 8 until the water in the water receiving tank 8 has a suitable water level. Then, the telescopic motor 52 is started to drive the movable plug 46 to reverse. The motor 72 re-closes the outlet of the water tank 4, while the motor 72 drives the mounting box 7 to rotate to a vertical position, immersing the lower part of the mounting box 7 and the water-absorbing core 71 inside into the water in the water receiving tank 8, thus ensuring that the water-absorbing core 71 absorbs water completely. At this time, the airflow passes through the water-absorbing core 71 to humidify it and then exits from the lower air outlet 14. When the humidification function is not needed, the motor 72 is activated to drive the mounting box 7 to rotate to a horizontal position. At this time, the mounting box 7 and the water-absorbing core 71 inside it do not come into contact with the water in the water receiving tank 8. The airflow does not come into contact with the water-absorbing core 71 and exits directly from the lower air outlet 14. The airflow dries the water-absorbing core 71 during the flow.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
