It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only for explaining the technical principle of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.
Referring first to fig. 1, fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. As a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner includes an indoor heat exchanger 1, a condensate pipeline 30, a first water storage chamber 31, a second water storage chamber 32, a water purification module 33, and a humidification module 34; the condensed water pipeline 30 is connected with a condensed water outlet of the indoor heat exchanger 1 and the first water storage cavity 31, and is used for introducing condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchanger 1 into the first water storage cavity 31; the water purifying module 33 is arranged between the first water storage cavity 31 and the second water storage cavity 32 and is used for purifying condensed water entering the second water storage cavity 32 from the first water storage cavity 31; the humidifying module 33 is communicated with the second water storage cavity 32 and is used for atomizing condensed water in the second water storage cavity 32 so as to humidify indoor air. Further, the air conditioner further includes a waste water chamber 35, the waste water chamber 35 is respectively communicated with the water purification module 33, the first water storage chamber 31 and the second water storage chamber 32, and a drain pump 351 and a drain pipe 352 communicated with the drain pump 351 are provided in the waste water chamber 35, the drain pump 351 is used for discharging the water in the waste water chamber 35 through the drain pipe 352. Preferably, a first drain valve 320 is arranged in the second water storage cavity 32, and when the first drain valve 320 is opened, the water in the second water storage cavity 32 can flow into the waste water cavity 35 through the first drain valve 320; the second drain valve 310 is provided in the first reservoir chamber 31, and in a state where the second drain valve 310 is opened, the water in the first reservoir chamber 31 can flow into the waste water chamber 35 via the second drain valve 310.
Referring to fig. 2, fig. 2 is a main flowchart of a method for controlling discharge of condensed water of an air conditioner in accordance with the present invention. As shown in fig. 2, the method for controlling the discharge of condensed water of an air conditioner according to the present invention comprises the following steps based on the structure of the air conditioner: s110, detecting water level information in the wastewater cavity; and S120, adjusting the flow of the condensed water in the air conditioner according to the water level information in the waste water cavity. Specifically, in step S120, when the water level information in the waste water chamber 35 is higher than a first preset water level, the drain pump is started to drain water; when the water level information in the water waste water cavity is lower than a second preset water level, the drainage pump is not started; wherein the second preset water level is lower than the first preset water level. The reasonable first preset water level and the second preset water level can be set by a person skilled in the art according to actual conditions. For example, the first preset water level may be set at 2/3, 3/4 or 4/5 of the waste water chamber 35, and the second preset water level may be set at 1/3, 1/4 or 1/5 of the waste water chamber.
Further, in step S120, when the water level information in the wastewater chamber 35 is located between the second preset water level and the first preset water level, the water level information and the water quality information in the second water storage chamber 32 are obtained; when the water quality information in the second water storage cavity 32 meets the preset water quality standard and the water level information in the second water storage cavity 32 is higher than the first water storage water level, the first drain valve is opened and the drain pump is started. The first stored water level may be set by a person skilled in the art, for example, 4/5 of the second water storage chamber 32, that is, when the water level in the second water storage chamber 32 is too high, the excess water in the second water storage chamber 32 is discharged to the waste water chamber 35 and then discharged from the waste water chamber 35. When the water quality information in the second water storage cavity 32 meets the preset water quality standard and the water level information in the second water storage cavity is lower than the first water storage water level, the first drainage valve is closed and the water pump is drained.
Further, when the water quality information in the second water storage cavity 32 does not meet the preset water quality standard, the first drain valve is opened and the drain pump is started. At this time, since the water in the second water storage chamber 32 does not meet the preset water quality standard and cannot be used for humidifying the indoor air, the water in the second water storage chamber 32 needs to be discharged.
Further, step S120 further includes: when the water level information in the wastewater cavity 35 is higher than a second preset water level and lower than a first preset water level, acquiring the water level information in the first water storage cavity 31; when the water level information in the first water storage chamber 31 is higher than the second water storage level, the second drain valve is opened and the drain pump is started. The second water storage level may be set by a person skilled in the art, for example, 4/5 of the first water storage chamber 31, that is, when the water level in the first water storage chamber 31 is too high, the excess water in the first water storage chamber 31 is discharged to the waste water chamber 35 and then discharged from the waste water chamber 35. And when the water level information in the first water storage cavity 31 is lower than the second water storage level, closing the second drain valve and closing the drain pump.
Further, when the water level information in the wastewater chamber 35 is higher than a second preset water level and lower than a first preset water level, the working state of the purification module is acquired; when the purification module is in the working state, the drainage pump is started. Wherein, when the purification module is in the working state, the water left after the filtration of the purification module can flow into the waste water chamber 35. Since water continuously flows into the waste water chamber 35 during the operation of the purification module, the drain pump can be turned on to continuously drain water. When the purification module is in an inactive state, the drain pump is turned off. Namely, when the purification module stops working, the drainage pump can also stop working.

Equivalent changes or substitutions of related technical features can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principle of the invention, and the technical scheme after the changes or substitutions can fall into the protection scope of the invention.
