[0039] In this application, "multiple" means two or more (including two).

[0040] In related technologies, air handling equipment is used to treat the air in a space or area. Air handling equipment can be constructed as air humidifiers, air purifiers, etc. Air handling equipment can be made into portable devices. Users can place the air handling equipment in the required space or area according to their needs. For example, air handling equipment can be placed in smoking rooms, studies, cooking countertops, near barbecue grills, baking pans, etc., and can be used for targeted smoke treatment, air purification, etc.

[0041] However, during the air handling process of the air handling equipment in its space or area, the position of the air intake of the air handling equipment remains fixed, and it can only draw air into the area pointed to by the air intake. As a result, the air handling effect and air handling efficiency of the air handling equipment in its space or area are poor.

[0042] Based on this, this application proposes an air handling device that allows the air duct assembly to rotate relative to the housing via a first drive module, thereby changing the angle between the air duct assembly and the housing (i.e., the air duct assembly can swing relative to the housing along a vertical plane, swinging from one side of the vertical plane perpendicular to the housing to the other side), to achieve a cyclic swing processing mode of the air handling device, thereby processing the air more evenly, improving air handling efficiency and air handling effect, and enhancing the user experience.

[0043] The following is for reference. Figures 1-5 Air treatment and apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of this application is described.

[0044] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, this application discloses an air treatment and equipment 100, including: an air purification device 20 and a first drive module 40.

[0045] The air purification device 20 includes a housing 21 and an air duct assembly 22 rotatably mounted on the housing 21. A first drive module 40 is poweredly connected to the air duct assembly 22 and is used to drive the air duct assembly 22 to rotate relative to the housing 21.

[0046] It is understandable that the air duct assembly 22 is provided with an air intake. By driving the air duct assembly 22 to move by the first drive module 40, the relative position of the air intake can be adjusted so that the air intake faces / approaches the pollution source.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first drive module 40 drives the air duct assembly 22 to move, which can bring the air intake closer to the user's position or closer to the pollution source. In other embodiments, the first drive module 40 drives the air duct assembly 22 to move, which can make the air intake face the area with the worst air quality, so as to achieve targeted suction at the corresponding location, which can improve the suction effect and improve the user experience.

[0048] Understandably, the position of the air intake can change continuously or intermittently during the operation of the air handling unit 100. That is, the rotation of the duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21 can have multiple first stopping positions, with angular intervals between each first stopping position of 15°, 30°, 45°, etc., and each first stopping position can remain for a certain period of time, such as 5s, 10s, 15s, etc., to achieve a cyclical oscillation processing mode; it can also rotate continuously to achieve a cyclical oscillation processing mode. When the air quality in the area corresponding to a certain first stopping position is poor, or when a user is in the area corresponding to a certain first stopping position, or when a pollution source is in the area corresponding to a certain first stopping position, the duct assembly 22 can be stopped at that first stopping position to achieve targeted suction at that first stopping position. Targeted suction at the first stopping position can be controlled by the user or achieved through a matching sensor module.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the air handling and equipment 100 further includes an ultrasonic module 31, which is disposed on the air duct assembly 22 and is adapted to avoid obstacles during the movement of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21.

[0050] It is understood that the obstacle avoidance principle of the ultrasonic module 31 in this application embodiment can be that the ultrasonic module 31 emits detection ultrasonic waves, and when the ultrasonic module 31 receives the echo, and the distance calculated by the echo is less than the rotation radius of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21, it indicates that an obstacle has been detected.

[0051] In other words, the ultrasonic module 31 can detect the position of obstacles in real time during the rotation of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21, and control the air duct assembly 22 to stop rotating in advance when the distance of the obstacle calculated by the echo is less than the rotation radius of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21. This can achieve obstacle avoidance during the movement of the air duct assembly 22, avoid causing items around the air handling equipment 100 to tip over, improve the user experience, and at the same time avoid the first drive module 40 (the first power source 41 of the first drive module 40) from stalling, thus extending the service life of the first drive module 40.

[0052] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the air treatment and equipment 100 further includes: a base 10 and a second drive module 80, a housing 21 is rotatably mounted on the base 10, the second drive module 80 is poweredly connected to the housing 21, and the second drive module 80 is used to drive the housing 21 to rotate relative to the base 10.

[0053] Specifically, the housing 21 is positioned above the base 10 and can rotate relative to the base 10. The air duct assembly 22 is located on the housing 21, allowing the orientation of the air intake to be changed during the rotation of the housing 21. The second drive module 80 can be located inside the base 10 or inside the housing 21 and can be used to drive the housing 21 to rotate, so that the housing 21 can rotate cyclically. Correspondingly, air purification is performed during the cyclic rotation of the housing 21 relative to the base 10 to achieve a cyclic sweeping air treatment mode.

[0054] It should be noted that when the air handling equipment 100 is set in a certain space or area, and the air intake is not adjusted, the airflow needs to be disturbed by the air handling equipment 100 to achieve air flow in that space or area and gradually adjust the air quality of the entire space or area, which is time-consuming. However, during the rotation of the housing 21 relative to the base 10, the air intake can rotate relative to the base 10 to face different positions in the space or area where the air handling equipment 100 is located, so as to achieve a circulating air sweeping treatment mode. This allows the air in the entire space or area to be disturbed evenly, rather than just treating the air in a single area, so that the air quality can be improved faster and the improvement effect can be better.

[0055] During the rotation of the housing 21 relative to the base 10, the air duct assembly 22 can be rotated relative to the housing 21 simultaneously, so that the circulating air sweeping treatment mode and the circulating swing treatment mode can be carried out synchronously. At this time, the turbulence effect on the air treatment and the space or area where the equipment 100 is located is better, the air treatment uniformity is higher, and the air quality improvement speed and effect can be further improved.

[0056] Furthermore, the rotation of the housing 21 relative to the base 10 can be achieved through the second drive module 80, and the air duct assembly 22 can be set with multiple second stopping positions. The angular interval between each second stopping position can be 30°, 60°, 90°, etc., and each second stopping position can stay for a certain period of time, such as 5s, 10s, 15s, etc., to achieve a cyclic air sweeping treatment mode. It can also rotate continuously to achieve a cyclic air sweeping treatment mode. Of course, when the air quality in the area corresponding to a certain second stopping position is poor, or when the user is in the area corresponding to a certain second stopping position, or when the pollution source is in the area corresponding to a certain second stopping position, the air intake of the air handling device can be at least partially directed towards that area and stay there for a certain period of time to achieve targeted suction of a certain second stopping position. Targeted suction of the second stopping position can be controlled by the user or achieved through a matching sensor module.

[0057] It should be noted that the first stopping position corresponds to multiple positions with different angles between the air duct assembly 22 and the housing 21, and is a position adjustment of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the vertical plane perpendicular to the housing 21. The second stopping position corresponds to the relative position adjustment between the housing 21 and the base 10, and is an orientation adjustment of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the horizontal plane parallel to the top surface of the housing 21.

[0058] Furthermore, the ultrasonic module 31 is not limited to one; at least one ultrasonic module 31 can be installed on the housing 21 and can be used to avoid obstacles during the rotation of the housing 21 relative to the base 10. The obstacle avoidance principle is the same as that of the air duct assembly 22, and will not be described in detail here.

[0059] In the illustrated embodiment, the air duct assembly 22 swings relative to the vertical direction (i.e., perpendicular to the horizontal plane), while the air purification device 20 can rotate about a vertically set axis (i.e., around an axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane).

[0060] In other words, the first drive module 40 drives the air duct assembly 22 to swing relative to the vertical direction, which can adjust the position of the air intake in the height direction, so that the air intake is closer to the user or pollution source; then the second drive module 80 drives the air purification device 20 (including the housing 21 and the air duct assembly 22) to rotate relative to the base 10 along an axis perpendicular to the horizontal plane, which can adjust the orientation of the air intake.

[0061] In other words, the second drive module 80 drives the air purification device 20 to rotate to determine the location of the air intake facing the user / pollution source, while the first drive module 40 drives the air duct assembly 22 to bring the air intake closer to the user / pollution source.

[0062] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, the air handling device 100 according to an embodiment of this application further includes a detection module. The detection result of the detection module is used to determine the working state of the air purification device 20, or to cooperate with the second drive module 80 to adjust the orientation of the air intake of the air duct assembly 22.

[0063] In other words, on the one hand, the detection module can be used to detect the air quality in the area or space where the air handling equipment 100 is located. When the air quality reaches the standard (the air cleanliness level reaches the standard threshold), the air handling equipment 100 can be controlled to shut down. On the other hand, the detection module can also be used in conjunction with the second drive module 80 to adjust the direction of the air intake of the air duct assembly 22, such as making the air intake face or place it in the area with the worst air quality, or making the air intake face the user or the pollution source, so that the air purification device 20 can achieve targeted suction, which can improve the user experience and improve the treatment effect and efficiency of the air handling equipment 100.

[0064] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the detection module is an air quality detection module 33, which is disposed on the housing 21. The air quality detection module 33 is used to detect the air quality around the housing 21 to determine the working state of the air purification device 20, or cooperate with the second drive module 80 to adjust the orientation of the air intake of the air duct assembly 22. That is, the second drive module 80 is used to drive the housing 21 to rotate relative to the base 10 according to the air quality detected by the air quality detection module 33, so as to adjust the orientation of the air intake of the air duct assembly 22.

[0065] Therefore, by cooperating with the second drive module 80, the air quality detection module 33 can adjust the position of the air intake of the air duct assembly 22. For example, if the area with the worst air quality is detected, the second drive module 80 can direct the air intake toward or place it in the area with the worst air quality, thereby achieving targeted suction of the area with the worst air quality. This improves the air handling effect and efficiency of the air handling equipment 100. Of course, based on the detection results of the air quality detection module 33, the air handling equipment 100 can be controlled to stop in time, which can also reduce energy consumption.

[0066] Of course, in this embodiment, the air quality detection module 33 can also cooperate with the first drive module 40 and the second drive module 80 to adjust the orientation of the air intake. At this time, the air duct assembly 22 can also be configured to rotate relative to the housing 22 around a vertically arranged axis. Correspondingly, the orientation of the air intake can be adjusted by rotating the housing 21 relative to the base 10, or by rotating the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21. Alternatively, the housing 21 can be rotated relative to the base 10 for coarse adjustment, while the air duct assembly 22 can be rotated relative to the housing 21 for fine adjustment.

[0067] According to some embodiments of this application, there are multiple air quality detection modules 33, and the air quality detection modules 33 are arranged at intervals in the movement direction of the air purification device 20, so as to detect the air quality in different areas around the air purification device 20 respectively.

[0068] Therefore, the position of the air intake can be adjusted in real time based on air quality detection data. For example, after the air intake is adjusted to the area with the worst air quality, multiple air quality detection modules 33 continue to detect the air quality. When the worst air quality area is detected to have changed to the area where other air quality detection modules 33 are located, the second drive module 80 automatically drives the air intake to adjust its position again to another second stopping position. This can further improve the processing effect and user experience of the air handling equipment 100.

[0069] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in some other embodiments, the detection module is a thermal imaging module 32, which is disposed in the housing 21. The second drive module 80 drives the air purification device 20 to rotate relative to the base so that the thermal imaging module 32 can detect the pollution source.

[0070] The principle of the thermal imaging module 32 in detecting the relative position of the pollution source and the shell 21 is that the thermal imaging module 32 can acquire the infrared radiation emitted by the object to generate a temperature distribution image, and the location of the pollution source can be determined based on the temperature distribution image.

[0071] Therefore, the location of the pollution source can be found through the thermal imaging module 32, and the second drive module 80 can make the air intake point face the pollution source, thereby enabling targeted suction of the area where the pollution source is located.

[0072] It should be noted that the second drive module 80 of this application, in conjunction with the detection module, can adjust the direction of the air intake based on air quality or based on the location of the pollution source. Those skilled in the art can adapt these two technical approaches based on functional requirements, and the two technical approaches do not conflict with each other. They can be set separately in the air handling equipment 100 to give the air handling equipment 100 a suction mode for the pollution source or a suction mode for the area with the worst air quality, or they can be integrated into the same air handling equipment 100 to achieve selective activation of multiple targeted suction modes based on different usage environments.

[0073] Furthermore, the orientation of the detection module on the housing 21 is the same as the orientation of the air intake when the angle between the air duct assembly 22 and the vertical direction is 0° (e.g., Figure 1 As shown), the first drive module 40 drives the rotation of the air duct assembly 22 to bring the air intake closer to the pollution source.

[0074] When the detection module is a thermal imaging module 32, the detection module is located on one side of the rotation direction of the air duct assembly 22 (the air intake side of the air inlet). When the detection module is an air quality detection module 33, there can be one or more air quality detection modules 32, and at least one detection module should be located on the air intake side of the air inlet.

[0075] The air quality detection module 33 can be used to detect the smoke concentration on the suction side of the air duct assembly 22, and the first drive module 40 is adapted to drive the air duct assembly 22 closer to the area with a high smoke concentration. The thermal imaging module 32 can be used to detect the location of the pollution source, and the first drive module 40 is adapted to drive the air duct assembly 22 closer to the pollution source. The different detection modules result in different ways of adjusting the air duct assembly 22.

[0076] Understandably, the air quality detection module 33 performs air quality detection and, based on the air quality detection results, switches the housing 21 to a suitable second stopping position (achieved by the second drive module 80 driving the housing 21), so that the air duct assembly 22 can be located in the area with the worst air quality. Then, the thermal imaging module 32 can detect the location of the pollution source and identify the location of the pollution source in the area with the worst air quality. The first drive module 40 controls the air duct assembly 22 to switch to the corresponding first stopping position, so as to achieve targeted suction at the location of the pollution source in the area with the worst air quality, thereby further improving the air treatment efficiency and air treatment effect.

[0077] Alternatively, the air quality detection module 33 can first perform air quality detection to switch to a suitable second stopping position, and can further switch the air duct component 22 to a suitable first stopping position based on the smoke concentration, so that the air intake can be located in the area with the worst air quality and the highest smoke concentration. Alternatively, the thermal imaging module 32 can first identify the location of the pollution source to switch to a suitable second stopping position, and further switch the air duct component 22 to a suitable first stopping position based on the location of the pollution source, so that the air intake can be close to the pollution source. Alternatively, the thermal imaging module 32 can first identify the location of the pollution source to switch to a suitable second stopping position, and further switch to a suitable first stopping position based on the smoke concentration identified by the air quality detection module 33.

[0078] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the air duct assembly 22 defines an annular air duct, and the lower end of the annular air duct is formed as an open end, which is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 21.

[0079] In other words, the air duct assembly 22 includes a vertical air duct and a horizontal air duct located at one end of the vertical air duct. The vertical air duct and the horizontal air duct are connected. The end of the vertical air duct away from the horizontal air duct is formed as an open end. The open end is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 21, and an air duct outlet is formed on the open end. The airflow in the air duct outlet can flow out into the housing 21. Furthermore, air intakes are formed on both the vertical air duct and the horizontal air duct. The air intakes are all facing the area enclosed by the vertical air duct and the horizontal air duct, thereby forming an annular air duct. The annular air duct can generate an air curtain to enhance the suction effect, increase the airflow velocity, and improve the air handling efficiency.

[0080] The opening end is rotatably connected to the side wall of the housing 21, so that the angle between the air curtain direction defined by the air duct assembly 22 and the vertical plane perpendicular to the housing 21 can be adjusted, which can realize switching between multiple first stopping positions and cyclic swing processing mode.

[0081] In this way, by rotating the open end of the air duct assembly 22 to the housing 21, the assembly difficulty between the air duct assembly 22 and the housing 21 can be reduced, and the probability of interference between the air duct assembly 22 and the housing 21 is lower during the movement of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21, and the movement stability and reliability of the air duct assembly 22 are higher.

[0082] like Figure 3As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the first drive module 40 includes: a first power source 41 and a first transmission assembly. The first transmission assembly has a first power input terminal 42 and a first power output terminal 43 connected to the power source 41. One of the first power source 41 and the first power output terminal 43 is connected to the housing 21 and remains relatively stationary, and the other is connected to the air duct assembly 22 and remains relatively stationary.

[0083] Specifically, the first transmission component can be configured as a gear meshing transmission. The first power source 41 drives the first power input end 42, and the first power input end 42 drives the first power output end 43. In some embodiments, the first power output end 43 is fixedly connected to the housing 21, and the first power source 41 is fixedly connected to the air duct assembly 22. That is, the first power source 41 and the first power input end 42 are respectively arranged in the air duct assembly 22, and the first power output end 43 is connected to the housing 21. The first power output end 43 can generate a reverse driving torque, and can reverse drive the first power source 41, the first power input end 42 and the air duct assembly 22 to rotate synchronously. In other embodiments, the first power output end 43 is fixedly connected to the air duct assembly 22, and the first power source 41 is fixedly connected to the housing 21. That is, the first power input end 42 and the first power source 41 are arranged in the housing 21, and the first power source 41 is connected to the housing 21. The first power output end 43 directly drives the air duct assembly 22 to rotate.

[0084] Therefore, the first drive module 40 can be at least partially disposed inside the housing 21 and the other part disposed on the air duct assembly 22, and can drive the air duct assembly 22. The placement is more reasonable, which can reduce space occupation. At the same time, the drive structure is simple, which can also simplify the structure and reduce costs.

[0085] like Figure 3 As shown, a mounting hole 216 is provided on the side wall of the housing 21, and the air duct assembly 22 has a mounting part 221. The mounting part 221 is rotatably disposed in the mounting hole 216, and a first power output end 43 is provided on the inner wall of the mounting hole 216 or the outer wall of the mounting part 221.

[0086] Specifically, a mounting portion 221 extending toward the housing 21 is formed on the open end of the vertical air duct. An air duct outlet is formed in the mounting portion 221. The mounting portion 221 can extend into the mounting hole 216 to realize the communication between the air duct assembly 22 and the airflow processing chamber 212 inside the housing 21. A sealing element can be provided between the inner wall of the mounting hole 216 and the outer wall of the mounting portion 221 to prevent airflow from leaking out through the gap between the mounting portion 221 and the mounting hole 216.

[0087] Furthermore, in the embodiment where the first power source 41 and the first power input end 42 are disposed within the air duct assembly 22, the first power output end 43 is formed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 216, such as being constructed as an internal gear formed on the inner wall of the mounting hole 216, and the first power input end 42 is constructed as a gear and connected to the first power source 41, so as to generate a counter-driving torque through the internal gear and drive the air duct assembly 22, the first power source 41, and the first power input end 42 to rotate synchronously; in the embodiment where the first power source 41 and the first power input end 42 are disposed within the housing 21, the first power output end 43 is formed on the mounting portion 221, such as being constructed as an external gear formed on the outer wall of the mounting portion 221, and the first power input end 42 is constructed as a gear and connected to the first power source 41, the first power input end 42 drives the external gear, and the external gear drives the air duct assembly 22 to rotate.

[0088] In this way, the first power output end 43 can be integrated with the housing 21 or with the air duct assembly 22, so that the structure in which the housing 21 and the air duct assembly 22 are rotatably connected can simultaneously form a structure that drives the air duct assembly 22 to rotate. This can further simplify the structure and reduce costs. At the same time, the first power output end 43 can be coaxial with the rotation axis of the air duct assembly 22, which can also improve the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the air duct assembly 22.

[0089] like Figure 2 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the second drive module 80 includes: a second power source 81 and a second transmission assembly. The second transmission assembly has a second power input terminal 82 and a second power output terminal 83 connected by power. The second power input terminal 82 is connected to the second power source 81. One of the second power source 81 and the second power output terminal 83 is connected to the housing 21 and remains relatively stationary, and the other is connected to the base 10 and remains relatively stationary.

[0090] Specifically, the second transmission component can be configured as a gear meshing transmission. The second power source 81 drives the second power input end 82, and the second power input end 82 drives the second power output end 83. In some embodiments, the second power output end 83 is fixedly connected to the base 10, and the second power source 81 is fixedly connected to the air purification device 20. That is, the second power source 81 and the second power input end 82 are respectively arranged inside the air purification device 20 (i.e., the housing 21). The second power source 81 is connected to the housing 21, and the corresponding second power output end 83 can generate a reverse driving torque, which can reverse the rotation of the second power source 81, the second power input end 82, and the air purification device 20 synchronously. In other embodiments, the second power output end 83 is fixedly connected to the air purification device 20, and the second power source 81 is fixedly connected to the base 10. That is, the second power input end 82 and the second power source 81 are arranged inside the base 10, and the second power source 81 is connected to the base 10. The corresponding second power output end 83 directly drives the air purification device 20 to rotate.

[0091] Therefore, the second drive module 80 can be at least partially set inside the base 10 and the other part set inside the housing 21, and can drive the air purification device 20. The setting position is more reasonable, which can reduce space occupation. At the same time, the drive structure is simple, which can also simplify the structure and reduce costs.

[0092] It should be noted that the first power input end 42 and the first power output end 43 can be constructed as a meshing gear set, and the first power input end 42 can be constructed as a complete gear so that the air duct assembly 22 can oscillate cyclically through the forward and reverse rotation of the first power source 41. The first power input end 42 can also be constructed as a non-complete gear, which can have multiple meshing sections and multiple smooth sections so that the air duct assembly 22 can stop at multiple first stopping positions for a certain period of time. The second power input end 82 and the second power output end 83 can also be constructed as a meshing gear set, and the second power input end 82 can be constructed as a complete gear so that the housing 21 can oscillate cyclically. The second power input end 82 can also be constructed as a non-complete gear, which can have multiple meshing sections and multiple smooth sections so that the housing 21 can stop at multiple second stopping positions for a certain period of time.

[0093] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the second power output end 83 includes a power transmission part 831 and a connecting part 832. The power transmission part 831 is poweredly connected to the second power input end 82, and the connecting part 832 is connected to the base 10 or the housing 21.

[0094] In one embodiment where the second power source 81 and the second power input terminal 82 are located within the housing 21, the connecting part 832 extends out of the housing 21 and is connected to the base 10, the power transmission part 831 is located within the housing 21 and is poweredly connected to the second power input terminal 82, and the second power output terminal 83 generates a counter-driving torque to drive the housing 21 to rotate relative to the base 10. In another embodiment where the second power source 81 and the second power input terminal 82 are located within the base 10, the connecting part 832 extends out of the base 10 and is connected to the housing 21, the power transmission part 831 is located within the base 10 and is poweredly connected to the second power input terminal 82, and the second power output terminal 83 directly drives the housing 21 to rotate relative to the base 10.

[0095] In this way, on the one hand, the second power output end 83 is used to output power to drive the housing 21 to rotate relative to the base 10, and on the other hand, it is used to connect the base 10 and the housing 21. The connection structure between the base 10 and the housing 21 and the rotation drive structure can be integrated, which can simplify the structure of the air handling equipment 100 and reduce costs. At the same time, the second power output end 83 can be coaxial with the rotation axis of the housing 21, which can also improve the smoothness and reliability of the movement of the air duct assembly 22.

[0096] It should be noted that in embodiments where the second power source 81, the second power input end 82, and the power transmission part 83 are all located within the housing 21, the thickness of the base 10 can be set to be lower, which can lower the center of the air handling equipment 100 and further improve the rotational stability of the housing 21 relative to the base 10.

[0097] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the housing 21 has an airflow processing chamber 212 communicating with the air duct assembly 22 and an air outlet 213 communicating with the airflow processing chamber 212.

[0098] Specifically, the air duct assembly 22 can introduce airflow into the airflow processing chamber 212 from the top or side of the housing 21. After the airflow is processed in the airflow processing chamber 212, it can be discharged through the air outlet 213. Through the circulation of airflow in the air handling and equipment 100, the air in the space where the air handling and equipment 100 is located can be continuously processed.

[0099] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the air handling and equipment 100 further includes: a fan module 60 and a filter module 50. The fan module 60 is disposed in the airflow handling chamber, and the filter module 50 is disposed in the airflow handling chamber and located upstream of the fan module 60 (that is, the airflow handling chamber 212 has a filter module 50 and a fan module 60 arranged sequentially in the airflow direction).

[0100] Therefore, the airflow in the airflow treatment chamber 212 can flow sequentially through the filter module 50 and the fan module 60. The fan module 60 can be constructed as an axial flow fan or a vortex fan. The filter module 50 can filter the airflow upstream of the fan module 60 so that the airflow flowing through the fan module 60 can be the filtered airflow, thereby reducing the adhesion of foreign objects on the fan module 60 and extending the service life of the fan module 60, thereby extending the overall service life of the air treatment equipment 100.

[0101] It is understood that in embodiments where the air handling and equipment 100 is configured as an air handling and equipment 100, the filter module 50 may integrate a purification function or may be further configured as a purification module. In embodiments where the air handling and equipment 100 is configured as an air humidification device, the filter module 50 may integrate a humidification function or may be further configured as a humidification module. The filter module 50 may integrate a corresponding function or be further configured as a functional device depending on the function of the air handling and equipment 100. This application will not elaborate further.

[0102] In this embodiment, the air handling device 100 processes the air as an internal circulation air handling device, that is, after processing the air in the space where the air handling device 100 is located, it is discharged back into the space where the air handling device 100 is located, rather than an external circulation air handling device that leads the air out to the outside through a duct. Therefore, a filter module 50 is required to filter the airflow entering the airflow handling chamber 212 before discharge, which can reduce foreign objects in the air and achieve the adsorption of odor molecules, so as to make the indoor air fresher.

[0103] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, a receiving cavity 214 is also formed inside the housing 21. The receiving cavity 214 is located on the outer periphery of the airflow processing cavity 212 and is spaced apart from the airflow processing cavity 212. The air quality detection module 33 and the thermal imaging module 32 are disposed in the receiving cavity 214.

[0104] In other words, a partition can be provided inside the housing 21, which defines an inner cavity and an outer cavity. The inner cavity is formed as an airflow processing cavity 212, and the outer cavity is formed as a receiving cavity 214. The fan module 60 and the filter module 50 are both located inside the inner cavity. At least a portion of the volute of the fan module 60 passes through the receiving cavity 214 and communicates with the air outlet 213.

[0105] In this way, the air quality detection module 33 and the thermal imaging module 32 can be installed in the gap between the inner wall of the housing 21 and the airflow processing cavity 212. The placement of the air quality detection module 33 and the thermal imaging module 32 is more reasonable and will not occupy too much space in the housing 21, thus enabling the miniaturization of the housing 21. The separation between the airflow processing cavity 212 and the accommodating cavity 214 can prevent the airflow entering the airflow processing cavity 212 from flowing to the location of the air quality detection module 33. On the one hand, it can prevent the processed airflow from affecting the air quality detection of the air quality detection module 33, thus improving the detection accuracy. On the other hand, it can prevent the unprocessed airflow from entering the airflow processing cavity 212 and directly acting on the air quality detection module 33 and the thermal imaging module 32, thus preventing foreign objects from adhering to the air quality detection module 33 and the thermal imaging module 32. This allows them to maintain stable and reliable detection for a long time, improving their working stability and reliability.

[0106] The housing 21 is also provided with an airflow passage 215 and a clearance hole 211. The detection part of the air quality detection module 33 is at least partially opposite to the airflow passage 215, and the imaging part of the thermal imaging module 32 is at least partially opposite to the clearance hole 211.

[0107] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, according to some embodiments of this application, the air handling and equipment 100 further includes a lighting module 70, which is disposed in the air duct assembly 22.

[0108] It should be noted that the lighting module 70 can also be other extended function modules. The lighting module 70 or other extended function modules can be selectively installed on the air duct assembly 22, which can expand the other functions of the air handling and equipment 100.

[0109] Furthermore, the lighting module 70 is installed on the air duct assembly 22. Under the illumination of the lighting module 70, the process of airflow entering the air intake of the air handling equipment 100 can be more intuitively displayed, making it easier for users to place the air handling equipment 100 in a suitable area and to make the air intake of the air handling equipment 100 more reasonably oriented (e.g., reasonably pointing towards the polluted area), so as to improve the air handling effect of the air handling equipment 100.

[0110] Of course, the lighting module 70 enables the air handling equipment 100 to be used for lighting, that is, the air handling equipment 100 can be given a lighting function. In the area where the air handling equipment 100 is set up for air handling, there is no need to install table lamps or other lighting equipment. This can improve the aesthetics of the area where the air handling equipment 100 is set up (such as a desktop) and also improve the user experience.

[0111] The working process of the air treatment and equipment 100 according to the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below.

[0112] After the air handling equipment 100 is turned on, the air quality detection module 33 detects the air quality around the housing 21, the second drive module 80 drives the housing 21 to rotate relative to the base 10 to the corresponding second stopping position, the thermal imaging module 32 detects the smoke concentration, and the first drive module 40 drives the air duct assembly 22 to rotate to the corresponding first stopping position, so that the position of the air intake is more reasonable and the air handling quality and air handling efficiency are higher.

[0113] During the rotation of the air duct assembly 22 relative to the housing 21 and the rotation of the housing 21 relative to the base 10, the ultrasonic module 31 performs obstacle detection to prevent the air duct assembly 22 from scraping against surrounding objects during the two movements, and to prevent the first power source 41 and the second power source 81 from stalling.

[0114] Other configurations and operations of the air treatment and apparatus 100 according to the embodiments of this application are known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example.

[0116] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
