The air conditioner generally includes an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, the outdoor unit is mainly provided therein with a compressor, an outdoor fan, and an outdoor heat exchanger (generally referred to as a condenser), the indoor unit is mainly provided with an indoor fan (hereinafter referred to as a fan), an indoor heat exchanger (generally referred to as an evaporator), an electric cabinet, and the like, and the compressor → the condenser → the evaporator → the compressor forms a refrigerant circulation loop. When the refrigerant circulates along the compressor → the outdoor heat exchanger → the indoor heat exchanger → the compressor, the air conditioner is in a refrigerating cycle. When the refrigerant circulates along the compressor → the indoor heat exchanger → the outdoor heat exchanger → the compressor, the air conditioner is in a heating cycle.

The indoor unit of the air conditioner comprises a shell 1 which is installed (such as suspended on a wall or a ceiling) or placed in an indoor space, wherein a fan, an evaporator, a water receiving disc 3, an electric cabinet and the like are arranged in the shell 1, an air supply opening 11 and an air return opening 12 are formed in the shell 1, and when the air conditioner refrigerates/heats the indoor space, air in the indoor space is pumped into the shell through the air return opening under the action of the fan, exchanges heat with the surface of an indoor heat exchanger and then is sent into the indoor space through the air supply opening again, so that the air temperature in the indoor space is reduced through circulation. The shell is provided with a water receiving tray drainage joint 13 for discharging water of the water receiving tray outwards, a refrigerant pipeline joint 14 for filling refrigerant, a water source joint 15 (supplying water to a spray component in the following) and a lifting lug 16, and the indoor unit of the air conditioner is fixed in an indoor space through the lifting lug.

In the present invention, a new functional module is further provided in the housing, and specifically, a humidification module 2 for performing humidity increasing treatment on air entering the indoor space is further provided in the housing. The humidifying module is positioned between the indoor heat exchanger and the air supply outlet along the air supply direction. When the humidifying module works, under the action of the fan, air in the indoor space enters the shell through the air return opening, exchanges heat with the surface of the indoor heat exchanger, is subjected to humidity increasing treatment by the humidifying module and then is sent into the indoor space through the air supply opening.

It will be appreciated that cooling and/or heating may be stopped or performed simultaneously during the humidification of the air. The function of increasing the humidity by using the humidifying module of the present invention can be accomplished in a short time, so that the conventional cooling and/or heating of the air conditioner can be suspended during the humidity increase. In addition, because the fan only serves the humidification function, the running condition of the fan can be adjusted more flexibly according to the humidification requirement, and the realization degree of the humidification function is ensured.

It should be noted that, a person skilled in the art can flexibly set the number and the positions of the fans according to actual situations, for example, two fans (17 a, 17 b) can be set, and one or both of the fans can be operated according to different air supply requirements. Under the condition of general humidification requirements, one of the fans can be operated, so that the problems of noise, power use and the like possibly caused by the simultaneous operation of the two fans are avoided on the premise that the humidification target can be realized. And under the condition that the humidification requirement is urgent, the two fans can be operated simultaneously, and the arrangement can meet the humidification requirement in a short time.

The humidifying module 2 comprises a humidifying box 21, a spraying component 5 is arranged in the humidifying box 21, the spraying component is provided with a pair of nozzles 55, after the pair of nozzles spray water in the direction facing each other (for example, the speed of the sprayed water flow is 5-10 m/s), a water film is formed in the cavity of the humidifying box, when the air flows through the water film at the position of the heat exchanger, the air collides with the water film and takes away part of water in the water film, so that the humidity is increased, and then the air is delivered to the indoor space through an air supply outlet, so that the humidifying function is realized.

The spray member 5 is disposed in the humidifying box 21 in the following manner: a horizontal support frame 23 is installed in the humidifying box 21, and a plurality of installation positions on which the spray member 5 can be installed are provided on the support frame. If both installation sites are installed with spray members of the same specification, the installation sites should generally be identical. If the structure of the spraying component is different in details, or the spraying component can be installed on the support frame in different modes, and different installation positions can be different. Such as: the specification of spraying the component is the same, and the installation position includes two kinds, and one kind is the structure of fixing the component on the support frame for spraying through the mode of joint, and another kind is the structure of fixing the component on the support frame for spraying through the spiro union mode.

It will be appreciated that, in addition to the mounting of the spray member on the support frame, the spray member may also be mounted at other locations, such as the top, side walls, etc. of the humidification chamber, if so desired.

Referring primarily to fig. 8A and 8B, in one possible embodiment, the spray member 5 comprises a base body having a water inlet end and a water outlet end, the water outlet end being provided with a pair of nozzles 55 with their spray directions facing each other, the water inlet end and the pair of nozzles each forming a flow path therebetween such that water entering from the water inlet end can reach the nozzle through the flow path corresponding to each nozzle. Specifically, the base member includes the first body 51 as being responsible for, and first body extends outward has two pipe diameters to be less than the second body 52 of first body, and the nozzle sets up in the one end that first body was kept away from to the second body. Specifically, the second pipe body includes a first branch pipe 521 extending radially outward along the first pipe body and perpendicular to the first pipe body, the first branch pipe extends at one end far away from the first pipe body along the axial direction of the first pipe body and to another nozzle to form a second branch pipe 522 having a pipe diameter smaller than that of the first branch pipe, and the nozzle 55 is disposed at one end far away from the first branch pipe of the second branch pipe. In addition, the second branch pipe extends outwardly with a ring stand 5221 at a position close to the nozzle, so that the nozzle is located just in the middle of the ring stand.

It can be seen that the flow path corresponding to the two nozzles consists of the first tube → the first branch → the second branch. In order to ensure the quality of the water film, the two pipelines corresponding to the nozzles are of a symmetrical structure. It is understood that the structural flow channel of each pipe may also be in other forms, such as a flow channel dividing the interior of the first pipe body into two cavities, each cavity corresponding to one nozzle, the first branch pipe and the second branch pipe being an arc pipe, the second branch pipe being a reducing structure along the water flow direction, etc.

The first body has the third body 53 in the position that corresponds to the end of intaking outwards extending, should be provided with the first mounting structure who corresponds with the third body in the corresponding position of support frame, for example first mounting structure is for can freely holding or fixed structure with the third body, the part of stretching out the hole has the external screw thread that can be connected with the pipeline if the third body, through dispose the connecting tube (like the silicone tube) that matches with the external screw thread on the third body, can be connected to outside water source with the component that sprays, so, after the water source lets in first body through the silicone tube, respectively through (first, second) branch pipe send the pair of nozzle of relative setting, water produces the splash after the nozzle department accelerates, form the water film of certain radius in the humidification box. The connecting pipeline is provided with a special pump 56 and a water inlet valve, so that the quality of the water film can be adjusted by adjusting the parameters of the pump and the opening degree of the water inlet valve. If a pump and a water inlet valve are respectively arranged for each spraying component, the pump and the water inlet valve can be respectively arranged in other modes. Preferably, the humidifying module is integrally placed at the position close to the right side of the whole machine, and the water source is arranged on the right side of the humidifying module, so that the humidifying module is convenient to overhaul.

The first pipe body extends outwards along the direction opposite to the extending direction of the second branch pipe to form two mounting ends 54, for example, the mounting ends are cylindrical structures with internal threads, a second mounting structure corresponding to the mounting ends is arranged at the corresponding position of the support frame, for example, the second mounting structure is a structure capable of being matched with the mounting ends, and for example, the spraying component can be connected to the support frame through direct matching of the second mounting structure and the mounting ends or through introducing fasteners and matching of the fasteners and the second mounting structure and/or the mounting ends. Preferably, the two mounting ends are located on both sides of the third pipe body in the axial direction of the first pipe body. It can be understood that the number, the specific form, the setting position and the like of the mounting ends can be flexibly selected according to actual conditions, and if two mounting ends can be respectively arranged on two sides of the third pipe body, the mounting ends can be flexibly selected.

In this embodiment, the axes of the (first, second and third) tubular bodies are coplanar, and the axes of the (first and second) branch pipes are respectively collinear with the axes of the (first and second) mounting ends.

As in a specific embodiment, the first mounting structure is a bar hole 531, the third tubular body is freely movable within the length of the bar hole 531, and the second mounting structure is a mounting circular hole 541 matched with the mounting end. Each bar-shaped hole is provided with three mounting round holes along the two sides of the width direction of the bar-shaped hole respectively, so that one bar-shaped hole and three pairs of mounting round holes actually form three mounting positions of the spraying component.

It is understood that the three mounting positions formed by the strip-shaped hole and the three pairs of mounting circular holes are only an exemplary description of the mounting positions for mounting the spray member, and those skilled in the art can use other mounting positions to fix the spray member on the humidifying box. If the structure of the spraying component is the same, other installation modes are adopted, or when the structure of the spraying component is changed, the specific form of the installation position is adjusted correspondingly, and the like.

The humidifying module 2 is positioned above the water receiving tray 3. The humidifying box is arranged at a position close to the water receiving tray, and the region of the humidifying box close to the bottom is provided with a drainage structure so as to discharge water sprayed by the pair of nozzles out of the humidifying box after the water participates in humidifying treatment. If the drainage structure comprises a first drainage hole 211 and a second drainage hole 212 which are respectively arranged at the bottom of the humidifying box and the positions, close to the bottom, of the side walls of the two sides of the humidifying box, the diameter of the second drainage hole is preferably smaller than or equal to that of the first drainage hole, so that the phenomenon that water splashes out of the humidifying box from the second drainage hole in the process of colliding air and water films is avoided as much as possible. Preferably, the water in the (first and second) drain holes is guided to the water pan and then drained out of the air conditioner, and of course, a drain pipe may be connected to any one of the holes to directly drain the water out of the air conditioner.

Still take three installation positions formed by one strip-shaped hole and three pairs of installation round holes as an example, the air conditioner of the invention is explained by combining a supporting frame.
