Solution Overview
Problem
Existing air conditioners with nano water ion technology face challenges in generating effective nano water ions due to instability during transmission, low humidity issues, and interference from semiconductor cooling systems, which affect the purification efficiency and ion stability.
Innovation Solution
The air conditioner incorporates a nano water ion generating device located at the air outlet, which uses a separate gas channel to diffuse nano water ions into the indoor space, and a control system that manages the operation of the fan and purification device to optimize ion generation and distribution, ensuring effective air purification despite temperature and humidity changes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If the fan operates continuously to distribute ions, then ion distribution is improved, but energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements continuous ion generation through the nano water ion generating device while optimizing fan operation. The fan operates at variable speeds based on system requirements, maintaining continuous ion distribution when needed while reducing speed or stopping when full distribution is not required, thus balancing continuous action with energy efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs dynamic control of the fan speed and nano water ion generating device operation based on real-time air quality monitoring and system state. The fan speed adjusts dynamically between low, medium, and high settings, and the ion generation is modulated accordingly, optimizing both ion distribution effectiveness and energy consumption.

AI summary
An air conditioner includes an indoor unit. The indoor unit includes a first housing, a fan, a piping box, and a nano water ion generating device. The first housing includes a first accommodating space, a return air inlet, and an air outlet. The fan is opposite to the return air inlet. The piping box is disposed in the first accommodating space and proximate to the air outlet. The nano water ion generating device is located at a position of the first housing proximate to the air outlet. The nano water ion generating device includes a nano water ion outlet. The nano water ion generating device and the piping box are communicatd through a vent therebetween. Air in the piping box enters the nano water ion generating device through the vent, and air with the nano water ions is sent indoors through the nano water ion outlet.
