[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this utility model and are not intended to limit it.

[0027] See Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a humidification structure for use in air conditioners, the humidification structure comprising:

[0028] A water tank includes a tank body 1 and a tank cover 2 connected in sequence. The tank body 1 has an inner cavity 3, and the inner cavity 3 is provided with a water outlet 4 and a water outlet pipe 5 that are connected to each other.

[0029] The buoy 6 assembly is movably disposed within the inner chamber 3;

[0030] The control assembly includes a sliding door 7 and a sealing door 8. The sliding door 7 is movably disposed on the outer wall of the water tank in the vertical direction. The sealing door 8 is disposed at the bottom of the sliding door 7. The sealing door 8 includes a connecting section 801 and a water outlet section 802 connected in sequence. The water outlet section 802 is provided with an opening 803.

[0031] Under the action of external force, the sliding door 7 has a water outlet state and a closed state that are linked to the sealing door 8 to open or close the water outlet 4.

[0032] In this embodiment, the humidification structure includes a water tank consisting of a housing 1 and a cover 2 connected in sequence. An inner chamber 3 is provided inside the housing 1 for storing water. The inner chamber 3 has a connected water outlet 4 and a water outlet pipe 5 for guiding water out. A buoy 6 assembly is located within the inner chamber 3 to monitor the water level in the tank and ensure that the tank maintains an appropriate water level during operation. The control assembly includes a sliding door 7 and a sealing door 8. The sliding door 7 can move up and down along the outer wall of the water tank (the sliding door 7 can be driven by a stepper motor). The sealing door 8 is installed at the bottom of the sliding door 7 and has a connecting section 801 and a water outlet section 802 connected to each other. The water outlet section 802 is provided with an opening 803 that connects to the water outlet 4. Driven by a stepper motor, the sliding door 7 moves downward, so that the opening 803 of the water outlet section 802 is misaligned with the water outlet 4, thereby closing the water outlet 4. The stepper motor drives the sliding door 7 to move upward along the outer wall of the water tank, so that the opening 803 of the water outlet section 802 is level with the water outlet 4, thereby achieving the water humidification function (the opening 803 and the water outlet 4 may not be completely level, and the water flow can be controlled). The humidification amount can be adjusted through simple operation. At the same time, the float 6 component is used to ensure the safe operation of the water tank and avoid problems caused by improper water level.

[0033] The water tank is provided with a guide rail 101, and the sliding door 7 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 101; the guide rail 101 is provided with a limiting groove;

[0034] In this embodiment, the sliding door 7 is installed in the limiting groove of the guide rail 101, which can ensure that the sliding door 7 moves accurately along the predetermined path, thereby ensuring that the sealing door 8 can accurately open or close the water outlet 4.

[0035] The guide rail 101 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface 102.

[0036] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the installation of the sliding door 7, arc-shaped guide surfaces 102 are provided on both sides of the top of the two guide rails 101 to guide the bottom of the sliding door 7 to slide smoothly, so as to facilitate the installation of the sliding door 7 between the two limiting grooves.

[0037] The sliding door 7 is provided with multiple elastic buckles 701 on both sides, and the elastic buckles 701 slide into the guide rail 101 through the guide surface 102.

[0038] In this embodiment, since the elastic buckle 701 has a certain elasticity, the sliding door 7 can be easily inserted into the guide rail 101 through the guide surface 102, which improves the assembly efficiency. The elastic buckle 701 slides into the limiting groove to limit the sliding door 7 and prevent the sliding door 7 from falling off the guide rail 101 when it moves upward. In addition, there are two sets of elastic buckles 701 arranged at intervals, which are located in the two limiting grooves respectively, so as to maintain the stability of the sliding door 7 when it moves.

[0039] The cover 2 is provided with a receiving groove 201, which extends away from the water outlet 4, and the water outlet section 802 can extend into or out of the receiving groove 201.

[0040] In this embodiment, when the sliding door 7 moves downward, the water outlet section 802 and the water outlet 4 are misaligned and extend into the receiving groove 201. The connecting section 801 seals the water outlet 4. The receiving groove 201 and the limiting groove cooperate with each other to limit the sliding door 7 and the sealing door 8. Whether in the water outlet state or the closed state, both can maintain a vertical posture. The receiving groove 201 can also be used to accommodate water that may seep out between the water outlets 4, preventing water from flowing directly into the air conditioner and causing a short circuit.

[0041] The sealing door 8 is fitted with a silicone rubber waterproof plug, and the silicone rubber waterproof plug has a water inlet 901 that is connected to the water outlet 4.

[0042] In this embodiment, a silicone rubber waterproof plug is fitted over the outside of the sealing door 8. A water inlet 901 is provided on the silicone rubber waterproof plug. By moving the sliding door 7, the water inlet 901 can be aligned with or offset from the water outlet 4 to control the flow of water. Of course, the water inlet 901 and the water outlet 4 can also not be completely aligned to control the size of the outflowing water. The silicone rubber material has excellent sealing performance and can effectively prevent water leakage. It fits tightly around the water outlet 4 to prevent water leakage.

[0043] The silicone rubber waterproof plug is provided with multiple waterproof ribs 902.

[0044] In this embodiment, in order to further improve the sealing performance, a waterproof rib 902 is provided on the silicone waterproof plug 9. The waterproof rib 902 increases the contact pressure and friction of the silicone rubber waterproof plug, making the silicone rubber waterproof plug seal more tightly when it moves, effectively preventing water droplet leakage. The waterproof rib 902 itself has a certain deformation capacity. When it moves, its own deformation can better fit the water outlet 4 and seal the gap between the silicone rubber waterproof plug and the water outlet 4.

[0045] The inner chamber 3 is provided with an installation groove 10, and the installation groove 10 is provided with a plurality of water inlet grilles 11. The buoy 6 assembly is movably disposed in the installation groove 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, an installation groove 10 is provided in the inner chamber 3 to accommodate the buoy 6 component. The installation groove 10 is provided with multiple water inlet grilles 11, which allow water from the inner chamber 3 to flow into the installation groove 10. The buoy 6 component is movably installed in the installation groove 10 to float up and down according to changes in water level, which can effectively monitor the water volume in the water tank and trigger the corresponding control mechanism when necessary (e.g., issue an alarm or stop the humidification function when the water level is too low).

[0047] The buoy 6 assembly includes a buoy 6 body, which has an installation port for mounting a magnet 601; the installation port is provided with a waterproof rubber plug 602.

[0048] In this embodiment, the buoy 6 body is provided with an installation port (not shown) for installing a magnet 601. The magnet 601 is an N52 magnet 601, which is used to link with an external Hall sensor (the Hall sensor can be model SS495A1) to monitor the water level in real time and feed back to the control system (such as a remote control). A waterproof rubber plug 602 is provided at the installation port to ensure that the magnet 601 can be securely installed in the buoy 6 body, while preventing water from entering the installation port and protecting the magnet 601 from the influence of the humid environment.

[0049] This embodiment also provides an air conditioner, including the humidification structure described above. The specific structure of the humidification structure is as described in the above embodiment. Since this air conditioner adopts all the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
