[0091] The air inlet frame assembly 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0092] Reference Figures 3-30 As shown, the air inlet frame assembly 300 according to an embodiment of the present utility model may include: an air inlet frame 71 and a wet film assembly 30.
[0093] Specifically, the air inlet frame 71 includes a frame 713 and a grille 714. The frame 713 has a second air inlet 711, and the grille 714 is located at the second air inlet 711 and connected to the frame 713. The wet film assembly 30 is located on the frame 713, so that the air inlet frame 71 can accommodate the wet film assembly 30, meet the installation requirements of the wet film assembly 30, ensure a compact structure, and reduce the space required for separate placement of the humidification component. The wet film assembly 30 is opposite to the grille 714, ensuring that the airflow entering from the second air inlet 711 can pass through the wet film assembly 30. The water film on the wet film assembly 30 exchanges heat with the dry airflow passing through the wet film assembly 30, vaporizes and evaporates, and flows out, which can increase the indoor water vapor content, improve the relative humidity of the indoor air, and meet the user's needs.
[0094] Meanwhile, the grille 714 provides isolation, protecting the wet film and effectively intercepting larger particles such as dust, hair, and flying insects, ensuring humidification efficiency and cleanliness. It also prevents the wet film assembly 30 from contacting external structures and causing damage. For example, when the air inlet frame assembly 300 is located inside the air conditioner 200, the grille 714 prevents the wet film assembly 30 from contacting or colliding with the pipes 82 (such as refrigerant pipes, wires, drain pipes, etc.) inside the air conditioner 200, ensuring reliable protection for the wet film assembly 30 and guaranteeing its normal operation and safety.
[0095] According to the embodiment of this utility model, the air inlet frame assembly 300 has a second air inlet 711 through the frame 713. The grille 714 is disposed at the second air inlet 711 and connected to the frame 713. The wet film assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 713 and opposite to the grille 714, so that the airflow flows through the wet film assembly 30 to increase the humidity in the room, which can meet the required humidification needs, ensure a compact structure, reduce the space occupied, and the grille 714 can protect the wet film, effectively intercept larger particulate impurities, ensure humidification efficiency and cleanliness, and at the same time prevent the wet film assembly 30 from contacting the external structure and causing damage, ensuring reliable protection of the wet film assembly 30 and ensuring the normal operation and safety of the wet film assembly 30.
[0096] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 10-12 As shown, the wet membrane assembly 30 is detachably mounted on the frame 713, which facilitates the removal of the wet membrane assembly 30 from the frame 713, making it convenient for cleaning and replacement of the wet membrane assembly 30, and thus improving the user experience.
[0097] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figure 22 , Figure 24 , Figures 28-30 As shown, the length direction of frame 713 (e.g.) Figure 8 An installation port 715 is provided on one of the two opposite side walls (shown in the left-right direction). The wet film assembly 30 can extend into the frame 713 through the installation port 715, which facilitates the installation of the wet film assembly 30 on the frame 713, making assembly convenient and the structure simple, and making it easy to process and manufacture the frame 713.
[0098] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16 , Figures 27-29As shown, at least one of the two side walls of the frame 713 in the vertical direction is provided with a guide groove 716. The guide groove 716 extends along the length direction of the frame 713 and communicates with the mounting port 715. Part of the wet film assembly 30 can extend into the guide groove 716. When the wet film assembly 30 extends into the frame 713 from the mounting port 715, the guide groove 716 can guide the movement of the wet film assembly 30, making it easy for the wet film assembly 30 to move to the required position, ensuring that it is installed in place, making installation convenient, and ensuring reliable positioning.
[0099] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 , Figure 12 , Figures 14-16 As shown, the wet film assembly 30 has guide protrusions 717 on both sides along the width direction of the guide groove 716. The guide protrusions 717 extend along the length direction of the wet film assembly 30. Thus, by cooperating with the guide groove 716, the sidewall of the guide groove 716 can limit the guide protrusions 717, thereby limiting the wet film assembly 30. It can also reduce the contact area between the guide groove 716 and the wet film assembly 30, thereby reducing friction and facilitating the installation of the wet film assembly 30. This makes installation more convenient and improves the user experience.
[0100] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16 , Figures 24-29 As shown, a water collection trough 718 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the second air inlet 711. The water collection trough 718 extends along the length of the frame 713. The wet membrane assembly 30 and the water collection trough 718 are opposite each other in the vertical direction, so that the water collection trough 718 can collect the water left from the wet membrane assembly 30, and drain the water to avoid water leakage and ensure safe use.
[0101] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 16 , Figure 24 , Figures 27-30 As shown, the bottom wall of the water collection tank 718 is provided with a drain hole 91, which allows the water stored in the water collection tank 718 to be discharged through the drain hole 91, preventing water from overflowing from the water collection tank 718 and ensuring safety during use.
[0102] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 16 , Figure 24 , Figures 27-30 As shown, the drainage hole 91 is provided with multiple (two or more) reinforcing ribs 911. The multiple reinforcing ribs 911 are arranged in an alternating manner. The multiple reinforcing ribs 911 can improve the structural strength of the drainage hole 91 and avoid problems such as deformation of the drainage hole 91.
[0103] In some embodiments, such as Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 19 , Figure 20 and Figure 30 As shown, the lower end face of the frame 713 is provided with a guide portion 92 surrounding the drain hole 91. The guide portion 92 can improve the structural strength of the drain hole 91 and avoid problems such as deformation of the drain hole 91. The lower end of the guide portion 92 is provided with multiple (two or more) protrusions 921. The multiple protrusions 921 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the guide portion 92, for example, forming a sawtooth shape. The multiple protrusions 921 can divert the water flowing into the guide portion 92, thereby making the water droplets smaller and avoiding problems such as larger water droplets splashing onto other structures and causing damage. It can also reduce noise and improve the user experience.
[0104] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16 , Figures 26-28 As shown, the inner bottom wall of the second air inlet 711 is provided with a water-blocking rib 93. The water-blocking rib 93 extends along the length of the frame 713. Both sides of the water collection tank 718 in the width direction are provided with water-blocking ribs 93. The two water-blocking ribs 93 can block the water flowing out of the water collection tank 718, prevent the water in the water collection tank 718 from overflowing, and ensure the safety of use.
[0105] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16 As shown, a through-hole water inlet 94 is provided on the upper side wall of the frame 713. The water inlet 94 and the wet film assembly 30 are opposite each other in the vertical direction, allowing water to flow through the water inlet 94 to the wet film assembly 30, facilitating humidification of the wet film assembly 30. This design is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, and helps reduce production costs. Furthermore, the water flowing from the water inlet 94 can gradually wet the wet film assembly 30 from top to bottom, ensuring that the wet film assembly 30 fully absorbs water and forms a uniform water film. This increases the humidification capacity under the same airflow, thereby further improving the humidification effect.
[0106] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 23 , Figures 26-29 As shown, a guide groove 95 is provided on the outer top wall of the frame 713, and a water inlet 94 is provided on the bottom wall of the guide groove 95. The guide groove 95 is open on one side along the length of the frame 713. When leakage occurs at the water inlet 94, the guide groove can block and guide the water to the water collection tank 718 to avoid leakage and ensure safe use.
[0107] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16As shown, the wet membrane assembly 30 includes a wet membrane support 32 and a wet membrane body 31. The top of the wet membrane support 32 is provided with an installation groove 321, which is vertically opposite to the water inlet 94. The bottom wall of the installation groove 321 is provided with multiple (two or more) diversion holes 322, which are spaced apart along the length of the wet membrane support 32. The wet membrane body 31 is mounted on the wet membrane support 32, and the multiple diversion holes 322 are vertically opposite to the wet membrane body 31. Thus, water flowing from the water inlet 94 can enter the installation groove 321 and flow to the wet membrane body 31 through the multiple diversion holes 322. The multiple diversion holes 322 can evenly distribute the water flowing to the wet membrane body 31 in various areas of the wet membrane body 31, achieving a good diversion effect, meeting humidification needs, ensuring the uniformity of humidification of the wet membrane body 31, and thus improving the humidification effect.
[0108] In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 and Figure 15 As shown, the lower part of the wet membrane support 32 is provided with a filter hole 325. The filter hole 325 is opposite to the wet membrane body 31 in the vertical direction, so that the water flowing through the wet membrane body 31 can flow downwards and out through the filter hole 325 and enter the water collection tank 718. The water collection tank 718 collects the water to prevent leakage and ensure safety. The filter hole 325 can also filter the water flowing through the wet membrane body 31 to ensure the purity of the water and facilitate its reuse. For example, the flow direction of the water flowing to the wet membrane assembly 30 is as follows: Figure 15 As indicated by the middle arrow.
[0109] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16 As shown, the wet membrane assembly 30 also includes a flow equalization component 33, which is disposed in the mounting groove 321 and extends along the length of the mounting groove 321. The flow equalization component 33 can absorb and store water and block water in the diversion holes 322, so that water first flows into the flow equalization component 33 and then flows out of the flow equalization component 33 into the diversion holes 322, making the water flow more uniform. This allows water to be evenly distributed from multiple diversion holes 322 to the wet membrane body 31, and makes the flow rate of water towards the diversion holes 322 relatively slow, thereby effectively controlling the water flow rate towards the diversion holes 322 and greatly reducing the probability of excessive water flow in the diversion holes 322. This makes it less likely for water curtains to form on the wet membrane body 31, ensuring reliable humidification.
[0110] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 14-16As shown, a water guide groove 323 is provided on the top of the wet film support 32. The water guide groove 323 extends along the length direction of the wet film support 32. Water guide grooves 323 are provided on both sides of the width direction of the mounting groove 321. The two water guide grooves 323 are open on the same side along the length direction of the wet film support 32, so that excess water flowing out from the water inlet 94 can flow into the water guide groove 323 for storage and flow out from the water guide groove 323, avoiding water leakage and ensuring safety in use.
[0111] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, a notch 324 is provided at one end of the wet film support 32 along its length. The open ends of the two water guide channels 323 are connected to the notch 324. The notch 324 and the water collection channel 718 are opposite each other in the vertical direction, so that the water in the water guide channel 323 can flow into the water collection channel 718 through the notch 324, thereby guiding and converging the water, avoiding leakage problems, and ensuring safety in use.
[0112] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 26 As shown, the frame 713 and the grille 714 are connected by a snap fastener 97, which ensures that the connection between the frame 713 and the grille 714 is reliable and easy to disassemble, making it convenient for maintenance and replacement.
[0113] In some embodiments, such as Figures 26-29 As shown, the grille 714 is provided with multiple (two or more) locking holes 73, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the grille 714. The frame 713 is provided with multiple locking protrusions 74. Thus, by the one-to-one cooperation between the multiple locking protrusions 74 and the multiple locking holes 73, the grille 714 can be reliably fixed on the frame 713, ensuring that the grille 714 is reliably fixed and not easy to loosen.
[0114] Of course, the location of the card hole 73 can also be set on the frame 713. Specifically, the frame 713 is provided with a plurality of card holes 73 spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the frame 713, and the grille 714 is provided with a plurality of card protrusions 74 that correspond one-to-one with the plurality of card holes 73. This is also within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0115] The humidification module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water tray 10, an air duct component 20, a water pump 52, and an air inlet frame assembly 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0116] Specifically, such as Figures 3-10As shown, the water tray 10 has a water tank 11, and the air duct component 20 is disposed on the water tray 10. The air duct component 20 has a first air inlet and a first air outlet 21. The air duct component 20 can drive the airflow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet 21. The air inlet frame 71 is connected to the air duct component 20, and the second air inlet 711 is connected to the first air inlet. The wet film assembly 30 is located on the water tray 10. The water tank 11 can supply water to the wet film assembly 30, so that the wet film assembly 30 is wetted. After the wet film assembly 30 absorbs water, it forms a water film. Therefore, when the humidification module 100 is in humidification mode, the control duct component 20 drives the airflow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet 21. The airflow can sequentially pass through the second air inlet 711, the wet film assembly 30, and the first air inlet. The water film on the wet film assembly 30 exchanges heat with the dry airflow passing through the wet film assembly 30 and evaporates, resulting in humidified airflow flowing out of the first air outlet 21. This increases the indoor water vapor content, improves the relative humidity of the indoor air, and meets the user's needs. Simultaneously, both the duct component 20 and the wet film assembly 30 are mounted on the water tray 10, resulting in a compact structure and reducing space occupation. For example, the airflow direction towards the second air inlet 711 is as follows... Figure 7 As indicated by the middle arrow.
[0117] In addition, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 31 As shown, the water pump 52 is located in the water tank 11. The water pump 52 can drive the water in the water tank 11 to flow to the wet film assembly 30, so that the wet film assembly 30 can fully absorb water. When the air duct component 20 drives the airflow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet 21, it is beneficial to improve the humidification effect of the humidification module 100.
[0118] Since the air inlet frame assembly 300 according to the present invention has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the humidification module 100 according to the present invention has a second air inlet 711 through the frame 713, a grille 714 is disposed at the second air inlet 711 and connected to the frame 713, and a wet film assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 713 and opposite to the grille 714, so that the airflow flows through the wet film assembly 30 to increase the humidity in the room, which can achieve the required humidification needs, ensure a compact structure, reduce the space occupied, and the grille 714 can protect the wet film, effectively intercept larger particulate impurities, ensure humidification efficiency and cleanliness, and at the same time prevent the wet film assembly 30 from contacting the external structure and causing damage, ensuring reliable protection of the wet film assembly 30 and ensuring the normal operation and safety of the wet film assembly 30.
[0119] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 , Figures 8-10 , Figure 31As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes a heating component 40, which is at least partially disposed within the water tank 11. The heating component 40 can heat the water in the water tank 11, thereby increasing the water temperature. When the humidification module 100 is in humidification mode, since high-temperature water requires less heat to vaporize and evaporate than low-temperature water, the humidification module 100 can evaporate more water under the same airflow, thus significantly increasing the humidification capacity and improving the relative humidity of the indoor air. This enhances the humidification effect of the humidification module 100 on the indoor environment and improves the user experience.
[0120] Meanwhile, the humidification module 100 can achieve a disinfection mode. Specifically, the heating component 40 heats the water to a high temperature, meaning the water temperature in the disinfection mode is higher than that in the humidification mode. At the same time, the air duct component 20 is controlled to not work, meaning the water film on the wet film assembly 30 does not exchange heat with the airflow for humidification. As a result, the water flowing down from the wet film assembly 30 returns to the water tank 11. This cycle allows the water at a high temperature to disinfect the wet film assembly 30, thus achieving the disinfection mode of the humidification module 100.
[0121] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 10 , Figures 24-26 As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes a temperature sensor 712, at least a portion of which is located within the water tank 11. The temperature sensor 712 can detect the temperature of the liquid heated by the heating component 40 within the water tank 11, thereby adjusting the power of the heating component based on the obtained water temperature value to ensure that the water temperature in the humidification module 100 is within a reasonable range in both humidification and disinfection modes.
[0122] In some embodiments, the temperature sensor 712 can collect the water temperature at the inlet of the water pump 52 in real time, ensuring that the temperature sensor 712 can more accurately detect the temperature of the water flowing to the wet film assembly 30, thereby enabling more accurate control of the heating component.
[0123] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 9 and Figure 25 As shown, a through-hole 96 is provided on the lower side wall of the frame 713. The temperature sensor 712 passes through the through-hole 96, so that the lower end of the temperature sensor 712 is located inside the water tank 11. The temperature sensor 712 is connected to the frame 713, which can fix the temperature sensor 712 on the frame 713, thus meeting the fixing requirements of the temperature sensor 712 and ensuring that the temperature sensor 712 can detect the temperature of the water in the water tank 11 more accurately.
[0124] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 24-28As shown, the inner bottom wall of the second air inlet 711 is provided with a buckle 97, which is connected to the temperature sensor 712. This allows the temperature sensor 712 to be fixed on the frame 713, ensuring reliable fixation and facilitating disassembly, maintenance, or replacement. The structure is also simple and easy to manufacture.
[0125] In some embodiments, such as Figures 24-28 As shown, a limiting post 98 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the second air inlet 711, and a limiting hole 981 is provided on the temperature sensor 712. Thus, the temperature sensor 712 can be limited by the limiting hole 981 cooperating with the limiting post 98, which facilitates the snap fastener 97 to snap into the temperature sensor 712 and helps to improve assembly efficiency.
[0126] In addition, such as Figure 25 As shown, a limiting part 982 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the limiting post 98. The lower end face of the temperature sensor 712 abuts against the upper end face of the limiting part 982, so that the limiting part 982 can support the temperature sensor 712. The buckle 97 abuts against the upper end face of the temperature sensor 712, thereby limiting the temperature sensor 712 and ensuring that the temperature sensor 712 is reliably fixed on the frame 713, preventing movement and ensuring the reliability of the temperature sensor 712 detection.
[0127] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, a drain hole 91 is provided on the lower side wall of the frame 713. The drain hole 91 is connected to the water tank 11, so that the water flowing down from the wet film assembly 30 can enter the water tank 11 through the drain hole 91, which facilitates water reuse, avoids resource waste, and can prevent water leakage and ensure safety in use.
[0128] In addition, such as Figure 8 and Figure 20 As shown, the drain hole 91 and the water pump 52 are located along the length of the heating assembly 40 (e.g., along the length of the heating assembly 40). Figure 8 The two sides (shown in the left and right directions) are opposite each other, so that the low-temperature water flowing out of the drain hole 91 can be fully heated again by the heating component 40 and then flow to the water pump 52, ensuring the water temperature at the water pump 52, thereby ensuring the humidification effect.
[0129] In some embodiments where multiple reinforcing ribs 911 are provided inside the drainage hole 91, such as Figure 20 As shown, multiple reinforcing ribs 911 can isolate the heating component 40 from the structure above the drain hole 91, avoiding contact between them and potential safety hazards, thus ensuring safe use.
[0130] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 , Figures 5-8 , Figure 10 , Figure 20 , Figure 21 and Figure 31 As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes a spray system 51, which sprays water onto the wet membrane assembly 30. A water pump 52 drives water in the water tank 11 to flow towards the spray system 51. Thus, water flows from the water pump 52 to the spray system 51 and is sprayed onto the wet membrane assembly 30, allowing the wet membrane assembly 30 to fully absorb water. When the air duct component 20 drives the airflow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet 21, this improves the humidification effect of the humidification module 100 and ensures a good disinfection effect on the wet membrane assembly 30. For example, the flow direction of the water towards the wet membrane assembly 30 is as follows: Figure 6 As indicated by the middle arrow.
[0131] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 20 , Figure 21 , Figure 23 , Figure 26 and Figure 27 As shown, a pipe groove 99 is provided on the outer wall of the frame 713. The water pipe of the spray system 51 is located in the pipe groove 99. The pipe groove 99 can limit the water pipe, which facilitates the assembly of the water pipe, improves the assembly efficiency, and ensures a compact structure.
[0132] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes a water tank 61, which is detachably mounted on the water tray 10. The water tank 61 supplies water to the water tank 11, thus providing a continuous and stable water source for the humidification module 100 when it is in humidification mode, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the humidification module 100. Furthermore, the detachable mounting of the water tank 61 on the water tray 10 makes adding water to the water tank 61 more convenient and facilitates cleaning and maintenance, thereby improving the user experience.
[0133] In some embodiments, such as Figure 10 As shown, the wet film assembly 30 and the water tank 61 are located on opposite sides of the air duct component 20, which ensures that the humidification module 100 has a compact structure, thereby reducing the space occupied by the humidification module 100 and facilitating the miniaturization of the humidification module 100.
[0134] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes an electronic control component 62, which is located between the water tank 61 and the air duct component 20. The operation of the humidification module 100 can be controlled by the electronic control component 62 to meet different control requirements.
[0135] In addition, such as Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes a protective plate 63, which is located between the water tank 61 and the electronic control component 62. The protective plate 63 can separate the electronic control component 62 and the water tank 61, preventing water in the water tank 61 from entering the electronic control component 62 and causing damage to the electronic control component 62, thus ensuring the safety of the humidification module 100 in use.
[0136] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the protective plate 63 covers the part of the water tank 61 near the electronic control component 62, so that the protective plate 63 can ensure that the water tank 61 is reliably positioned at the upper limit of the water tray 10, avoid shaking, and thus avoid water leakage, further ensuring the safety of the humidification module 100.
[0137] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 21 As shown, the upper end face of the water tray 10 abuts against the lower end face of the frame 713, enabling the water tray 10 to support the frame 713 and place the frame 713. The lower end of the frame 713 is provided with a downwardly bent flange 991, and the inner side wall of the flange 991 fits against the outer side wall of the water tray 10, which enables the installation and positioning of the water tray 10 and the frame 713 bracket, which is beneficial to improving assembly efficiency. Furthermore, the flange 991 can protect the abutment between the water tray 10 and the frame 713, ensuring that the water tray 10 and the frame 713 are reliably fixed.
[0138] In some embodiments, such as Figure 21 , Figure 23 , Figure 27 and Figure 28 As shown, the flanged portion 991 is provided with a fixing hole 992. Fasteners are inserted through the fixing hole 992 to connect with the water tray 10, ensuring a reliable connection between the water tray 10 and the frame 713 and facilitating disassembly. For example, the fastener can be a screw.
[0139] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-8 , Figure 10 As shown, the humidification module 100 also includes an air outlet frame 72, which is connected to the air duct component 20. The air outlet frame 72 has a second air outlet 721, which is connected to the first air outlet 21, so that the airflow can flow into the room with humidity through the first air outlet 21 and the second air outlet 721 in sequence. The air outlet frame 72 can guide the outflowing airflow to meet the design requirements of different air outlet directions.
[0140] In some embodiments, such as Figures 4-8 , Figure 10 As shown, there are multiple second air outlets 721 arranged at intervals. All of the multiple second air outlets 721 are connected to the first air outlet 21. The air outlets 721 can meet the air outlet requirements in different directions, thereby realizing three-dimensional humidification in multiple different positions, which is conducive to expanding the humidification coverage range and improving the humidification effect of the humidification module 100.
[0141] In embodiments of this utility model, the number of second air outlets 721 can be flexibly set according to actual conditions. For example, the number of second air outlets 721 can be as follows: Figure 4 The number shown is three, but it can also be two, four, five, six or more, all of which are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0142] In some embodiments, the humidification module 100 further includes a filter screen disposed above the water tray 10 and located on the side of the wet membrane assembly 30 away from the air duct component 20 in the thickness direction. This allows the airflow to be purified by passing through the filter screen first, and then humidified by the wet membrane assembly 30, ensuring the purity of the airflow entering the room, thereby improving air quality and ensuring the health of users. For example, the filter screen can be a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.
[0143] The humidification control method of the humidification module 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the humidification module 100 is the humidification module 100 according to the embodiment of the present utility model, the humidification module 100 includes a heating component 40, the heating component 40 is at least partially disposed in the water tank 11, the heating component 40 can heat the water in the water tank 11, thereby increasing the water temperature in the water tank 11.
[0144] like Figure 32 As shown, the humidification control methods include:
[0145] The humidification module 100's setting is obtained, meaning the setting can be input by the user;
[0146] The heating element 40 can be turned on or off according to the setting, which can meet different usage needs of the humidification module 100. Since high-temperature water requires less heat to vaporize and evaporate than low-temperature water, the humidification module 100 can evaporate more water under the same airflow when the heating element 40 is on, thereby significantly increasing the humidification capacity and improving the relative humidity of the indoor air. This enhances the humidification effect of the humidification module 100 on the indoor environment and improves the user experience.
[0147] Since the humidification module 100 according to the present invention has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the humidification control method of the humidification module 100 according to the present invention, wherein the heating component 40 is at least partially disposed in the water tank 11 for heating the water in the water tank 11, includes: obtaining the gear position of the humidification module 100; controlling the heating component 40 to turn on or off according to the gear position, so that the heating component 40 can be turned on according to different gear positions to meet different usage needs of the humidification module 100, and when the heating component 40 is turned on, the humidification module 100 can evaporate more water under the same air volume, which can significantly increase the humidification capacity, improve the relative humidity of indoor air, thereby improving the humidification effect of the humidification module 100 on the room, and improving the user experience.
[0148] In some embodiments of this utility model, the humidification levels include low, medium, and high, with the humidification intensity increasing sequentially from low to high, allowing users to adjust the humidification module 100 according to actual conditions to meet different usage needs.
[0149] like Figure 32 As shown, controlling the heating component 40 to turn on or off according to the gear position detection includes:
[0150] When the humidification module 100 is at a low setting, the heating component 40 is turned off. In other words, the humidification intensity required by the humidification module 100 is low. By turning off the heating component 40, energy consumption can be reduced.
[0151] When the humidification module 100 is in the medium or high setting, the heating component 40 is turned on. In other words, the humidification intensity required by the humidification module 100 is higher. By turning on the heating component 40, the humidification module 100 can evaporate more water under the same air volume, which can greatly increase the humidification capacity and meet the required humidification needs.
[0152] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 32 As shown, the humidification control method for turning the heating component 40 on or off based on the gear level detection, and when the humidification module 100 is at a low gear, includes:
[0153] The impeller of the control duct component 20 rotates at a first speed N1;
[0154] The water pump 52, which controls the water pan 10 to supply water to the wet film assembly 30, is turned on, allowing airflow to pass through the wet film assembly 30. The water film on the wet film assembly 30 exchanges heat with the dry airflow passing through the wet film assembly 30 and vaporizes, resulting in the outflow of humidified airflow, which increases the water vapor content in the room and improves the relative humidity of the indoor air, thereby achieving low-level humidification of the humidification module 100.
[0155] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 33 As shown, the humidification control method for turning the heating component 40 on or off based on the gear setting detection, and when the humidification module 100 is in the medium setting, includes:
[0156] The water temperature W in the water pan 10 is determined to be greater than or equal to the first preset temperature W1. At this time, the water temperature in the water pan 10 reaches the required temperature, which facilitates the flow of water with heat in the water pan 10 to the humidification module.
[0157] The impeller of the control duct component 20 rotates at a second speed N2. For example, the second rotor N2 can be equal to the first speed N1, or the second rotor N2 can be greater than the first speed N1.
[0158] The water pump 52, which controls the water pan 10 to supply water to the wet film assembly 30, is turned on, allowing airflow to pass through the wet film assembly 30. The water film on the wet film assembly 30 exchanges heat with the dry airflow passing through the wet film assembly 30 and evaporates, resulting in the outflow of humidified airflow. Under the same airflow, the humidification module 100 can evaporate more water, effectively increasing the indoor water vapor content and improving the relative humidity of the indoor air, thereby achieving medium-range humidification of the humidification module 100.
[0159] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 33 As shown, the humidification control method for turning the heating component 40 on or off based on the gear position detection, and when the humidification module 100 is in the high gear, includes:
[0160] The water temperature W in the water pan 10 is determined to be greater than or equal to the first preset temperature W1. At this time, the water temperature in the water pan 10 reaches the required temperature, which facilitates the flow of water with heat in the water pan 10 to the humidification module.
[0161] The impeller of the control duct component 20 rotates at a third speed N3, which is greater than the second speed N2;
[0162] The water pump 52, which controls the water pan 10 to supply water to the wet film assembly 30, is turned on, allowing airflow to pass through the wet film assembly 30. The water film on the wet film assembly 30 exchanges heat with the dry airflow passing through the wet film assembly 30 and vaporizes, resulting in the outflow of humidified airflow. Furthermore, the third rotation speed N3 is greater than the second rotation speed N2, enabling the humidification module 100 to evaporate more water, effectively increasing the indoor water vapor content and improving the relative humidity of the indoor air, thereby achieving high-grade humidification of the humidification module 100.
[0163] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 33 As shown, when the humidification module 100 is in the medium or high setting, the humidification control method further includes:
[0164] The water temperature W in the water pan 10 is determined to be greater than or equal to W1 + ΔW, where W1 + ΔW can be the upper limit of the water temperature after heating. The water temperature in the water pan 10 is too high.
[0165] The impeller of the water pump 52 and the air duct component 20 is turned off. The water pump 52 no longer directs water with excessively high temperature to the wet membrane to avoid scalding the wet membrane with water with excessively high temperature. The impeller also stops driving the airflow to the wet membrane assembly 30 to avoid damage to the wet membrane assembly 30.
[0166] The heating element 40 inside the water pan 10 operates at reduced power, resulting in a decrease in heating efficiency.
[0167] The power of the heating element 40 is determined to reach the lower limit, and the heating effect of the heating element 40 is reduced to the minimum.
[0168] If the water temperature W in the water pan 10 is greater than or equal to W1 + ΔW, the first abnormality warning is issued. If the water temperature still exceeds the upper limit after the power of the heating component 40 reaches the lower limit, the first abnormality warning is a high temperature abnormality warning.
[0169] The heating component 40 is turned off to prevent continuous heating of the water in the water pan 10. This also stops the humidification module 100 from operating in an abnormally high temperature state and facilitates subsequent testing.
[0170] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 33 As shown, when the humidification module 100 is in the medium or high setting, the humidification control method further includes:
[0171] The water temperature W in the water pan 10 is determined to be less than or equal to W1-ΔW, where W1-ΔW can be the lower limit of the water temperature after heating. The water temperature in the water pan 10 is too low.
[0172] The water pump 52 and the impeller of the air duct component 20 are shut off. If the water temperature is too low, the humidification effect will be poor. The water pump 52 will stop running to avoid energy waste. The impeller will also stop driving the airflow to the wet film assembly 30 to avoid damage to the wet film assembly 30.
[0173] The heating element 40 inside the water pan 10 is controlled to operate at increased power, thus improving the heating effect.
[0174] The power of the heating element 40 is determined to be at its maximum, and the heating effect of the heating element 40 is at its highest.
[0175] If the water temperature W in the water pan 10 is less than or equal to W1-ΔW, a second abnormality warning is issued. If the water temperature is still lower than the lower limit after the power of the heating component 40 reaches the upper limit, the second abnormality warning is a low temperature abnormality warning.
[0176] The heating component 40 is turned off to prevent continuous heating of the water in the water pan 10. This also stops the humidification module 100 from operating in an abnormally low temperature state and facilitates subsequent testing.
[0177] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 As shown, the humidification control method also includes:
[0178] If it is determined that the wet membrane assembly 30 is not installed properly, that is, when the water pump 52 delivers water to the wet membrane assembly 30 during the humidification process, the wet membrane assembly 30 may fall off or be removed, for example, by detecting the position of the wet membrane assembly 30 using a Hall sensor;
[0179] A third abnormality warning is issued, namely, a warning of wet film assembly 30 detachment;
[0180] The heating component 40 is turned off to prevent the water in the water pan 10 from being continuously heated when the wet film component 30 is not installed in place or cannot be humidified, thus avoiding energy waste.
[0181] The water pump 52 is turned off, and the water pump 52 stops supplying water to the wet film assembly 30, making the operation of the humidification module 100 more intelligent.
[0182] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 As shown, the humidification control method also includes:
[0183] The wet membrane module 30 was determined to have been in a detached state for an extended period of time when it was not properly installed (T1).
[0184] The humidification module 100 is controlled to stop working, preventing it from continuing to operate with the wet film component 30 detached, thus making the operation of the humidification module 100 more intelligent.
[0185] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the humidification module 100 includes a water tank 61, which is detachably mounted on the water tray 10. The water tank 61 can supply water to the water tank 11. The water tank 61 can provide a continuous and stable water source for the humidification module 100 when it is in humidification mode, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the humidification module 100.
[0186] like Figure 32 As shown, before obtaining the humidification module 100's setting, the humidification control method further includes:
[0187] Ensure that the wet membrane assembly 30 is installed in place to prevent the water pump 52 from being unable to drive the water in the water pan 10 to flow to the wet membrane assembly 30, thus ensuring the reliability of the humidification process.
[0188] Ensure that the water tank 61 supplying water to the water pan 10 is not short of water, so as to avoid insufficient water flowing to the wet film assembly 30 due to water shortage in the water pan 10, thus avoiding affecting the humidification effect. At the same time, it can prevent the heating assembly 40 from burning dry when heating the water pan 10, ensuring safe use.
[0189] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 As shown, the humidification control method also includes:
[0190] If it is determined that the water tank 61 supplying water to the water pan 10 is short of water, that is, during the humidification process, there is not enough water to enter the water pan 10, for example, by detecting the water in the water tank 61 using a Hall sensor;
[0191] The fourth abnormality warning is issued, namely, a water tank 61 water shortage warning;
[0192] The heating element 40 is turned off to prevent the water in the water tray 10 from being continuously heated when the water tank 61 is short of water, thus avoiding energy waste and safety hazards.
[0193] The water pump 52 is shut down, and the water pump 52 stops pumping water to the wet film assembly 30. This prevents insufficient water supply from causing the water pump 52 to be unable to pump water to the wet film assembly 30, avoids damage to the water pump 52, and ensures the reliability of the water pump 52.
[0194] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 As shown, the humidification control method also includes:
[0195] When the water tank 61 is found to be short of water for a period of time T2, the wet film assembly 30 is dried by the action of the fan wheel, and the water tank 61 is in a state of water shortage for a long time.
[0196] The humidification module 100 is controlled to stop working, preventing it from continuing to operate with the water tank 61 running out of water, thus making the operation of the humidification module 100 more intelligent.
[0197] According to some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 35 As shown, the humidification control method also includes:
[0198] Upon receiving the instruction to turn off the humidifier module 100, the user turns off the humidifier module 100.
[0199] Confirm that heating element 40 is turned on;
[0200] By turning off the heating component 40, the water in the water tray 10 will no longer be heated when the heating component 40 is turned on, which facilitates the subsequent shutdown of the humidification module 100.
[0201] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 As shown, the heating element 40 also includes:
[0202] Determine whether the water temperature W in the water pan 10 is greater than the second preset temperature W2;
[0203] If not, control the water pump 52 to turn off. The water temperature in the water pan 10 is already low, so there is no need to use the water pump 52 to flow water to the wet film assembly 30 to lower the water temperature in the water tank 11, which facilitates the subsequent shutdown of the humidification module 100.
[0204] If so, the impeller of the control air duct component 20 rotates at the fourth speed N4. The impeller can drive the airflow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet 21 at the fourth speed N4, which can realize the utilization of the high temperature water in the water pan 10 and the cooling of the wet film component 30.
[0205] The water temperature W in the water pan 10 is determined to be less than or equal to the second preset temperature W2, that is, the water temperature in the water pan 10 decreases;
[0206] By controlling the water pump 52 to shut off, the water temperature in the water pan 10 is reduced before the water pump 52 is shut off. This avoids damage to the humidification module 100 caused by the continuous high temperature of the water in the water pan 10, and helps to extend the service life of the humidification module 100.
[0207] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 34 As shown, the humidification control method also includes:
[0208] Once the impeller has been running at the fourth rotational speed N4 for a duration of T3, the wet film assembly 30 has been preliminarily dried.
[0209] The impeller is controlled to rotate at the fifth speed N5. The impeller continues to drive the airflow from the first air inlet to the first air outlet 21, which facilitates drying the wet film assembly 30 and avoids problems such as mold caused by the continuous dampness of the wet film assembly 30.
[0210] The wind turbine is set to run at the fifth speed N5 for a duration of T4 to ensure that the water on the wet film assembly 30 has been basically dried, enabling the wet film assembly 30 to be placed for a long time, which facilitates the safety of the wet film assembly 30 in subsequent use.
[0211] When the fan wheel is turned off, the humidification module 100 stops working, and the humidification process ends. Thus, through the above control, intelligent control of the humidification module 100 can be achieved, which facilitates subsequent use and improves the user experience.
[0212] The air conditioner 200 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a housing 80 and a humidification module 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The humidification module 100 is disposed inside the housing 80, and the housing 80 can protect the humidification module 100, preventing it from being exposed and damaged, and extending the service life of the humidification module 100. The housing 80 has a third air inlet and a third air outlet 81. The third air inlet is connected to the first air inlet, and the third air outlet 81 is connected to the first air outlet 21, so that airflow can pass through the third air inlet, the wet film assembly 30 and the first air inlet in sequence, and the humidified airflow flows into the room through the first air outlet 21 and the third air outlet 81, thereby fulfilling the humidification needs of the air conditioner 200 for the room.
[0213] In some embodiments where the second air outlet 721 is spaced out, such as Figure 2 As shown, there are multiple third air outlets 81 that correspond one-to-one with the second air outlets 721, so that the airflow from the multiple second air outlets 721 can flow into the room through the multiple third air outlets 81 respectively, realizing three-dimensional humidification at multiple different locations, which is convenient to expand the humidification coverage and improve the humidification effect of the air conditioner 200.
[0214] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the third air outlet 81 can be located on one of the two sides in the width direction of the housing 80, or the third air outlet 81 can be located in the middle of the front side of the housing 80. It can be set according to the actual situation to meet different usage needs.
[0215] In some embodiments, the third air inlet can be located on the rear side of the housing 80, which can ensure the aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 200 and can be configured according to actual conditions to meet different usage needs.
[0216] Since the humidification module 100 according to the present utility model embodiment has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the air conditioner 200 according to the present utility model embodiment has a second air inlet 711 through the frame 713, a grille 714 is disposed at the second air inlet 711 and connected to the frame 713, and a wet film assembly 30 is disposed on the frame 713 and opposite to the grille 714, so that the airflow flows through the wet film assembly 30 to increase the humidity in the room, which can achieve the required humidification needs, ensure a compact structure, reduce the space occupied, and the grille 714 can protect the wet film, effectively intercept larger particulate impurities, ensure humidification efficiency and cleanliness, and at the same time prevent the wet film assembly 30 from contacting the external structure and causing damage, ensuring reliable protection of the wet film assembly 30, and ensuring the normal operation and safety of the wet film assembly 30.
[0217] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 10 As shown, the humidification module 100 includes a water tank 61, which is detachably mounted on the water tray 10. The water tank 61 supplies water to the water tank 11, providing a continuous and stable water source for the humidification module 100 when it is in humidification mode, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of the humidification module 100. Furthermore, the detachable mounting of the water tank 61 on the water tray 10 makes adding water to the water tank 61 more convenient and facilitates cleaning and maintenance, thus improving the user experience.
[0218] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 80 includes a housing body 801, which defines an installation cavity 803. The humidification module 100 is located inside the installation cavity 803, which meets the requirement of placing the humidification module 100 inside the housing 80. The housing body 801 is provided with an opening 804, which communicates with the installation cavity 803. The water tank 61 is located at the opening 804, which makes it easy to remove and place the water tank 61 through the opening 804, making it convenient to add water to the water tank 61, and also convenient to clean and maintain the water tank 61, which helps to improve the user experience.
[0219] At the same time, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the housing 80 includes a cover plate 802, which is detachably placed over the opening 804. This allows the cover plate 802 to seal the opening 804, thereby protecting the humidification module 100 and preventing damage to structures such as the water tank 61 from being exposed. It also facilitates the removal and installation of the cover plate 802, making it easy to remove and place the water tank 61 from the mounting cavity 803, while ensuring the aesthetics of the air conditioner 200.
[0220] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the opening 804 is located on the front side of the shell body 801, which allows the water tank 61 to be taken out and placed from the front side of the shell 80, making it more convenient to take out and place the water tank 61, and improving the user experience.
[0221] In some embodiments where the humidification membrane assembly 30 is detachably mounted on the air inlet frame 71, the humidification membrane assembly 30 is located at the rear end of the housing body 801, and the humidification membrane assembly 30 can be extracted from the side of the housing body 801, making it more convenient to remove and place the humidification membrane assembly 30, which is beneficial to improving the user experience.
[0222] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the humidification module 100 is located at the lower part of the housing 80, which can lower the overall center of gravity of the air conditioner 200, avoid the risk of tipping over, and ensure the stability of the air conditioner 200.
[0223] The air inlet frame assembly 300, humidification module 100, humidification control method, and other components and operations of the air conditioner 200 according to the embodiments of the present invention are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.
