Wherein, the water that the screen cloth flowed into in the heating water dish can only pass through the hole that leaks to wet membrane 2 department through the boss. The electric heating device is used for heating the heating water tray.

Based on the structure as above:

referring to fig. 2, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for humidifying an air conditioner, including:

and S21, the air conditioner responds to the humidifying mode command and controls the fan to be started to enable hot air to flow through the wet film humidifier.

S22, the air conditioner alternately performs a humidifying operation and a drying operation.

The humidifying operation comprises controlling the circulating water pump to operate for a first time period, and the drying operation comprises controlling the circulating water pump to be turned off for a second time period.

By adopting the method for humidifying the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the starting of the fan is controlled to enable hot air to flow through the wet film humidifier in response to the humidifying mode instruction, and the humidifying operation and the drying operation are alternately executed. The humidifying operation comprises controlling the circulating water pump to operate for a first time period, and the drying operation comprises controlling the circulating water pump to be turned off for a second time period. When the circulating water pump is turned off, the fan continuously blows hot air to the wet film humidifier, and the humidifying and the wet film drying are realized by alternately controlling the turning on and off of the circulating water pump, so that the condition that the wet film blows water is avoided. And need not additionally set up and slow down the flow structure, reduced the cost of solving wet film and blowing water problem, improved the suitability of the air conditioner that is equipped with wet film humidifier.

Optionally, the first duration is determined as follows: the air conditioner acquires environmental parameters and operating parameters of the air conditioner under the condition that the circulating water pump is started; the air conditioner determines the soaking time of the wet film corresponding to the environmental parameter and the operation parameter according to the first relation; the air conditioner determines the soaking time period as a first time period.

Therefore, the air conditioner obtains the environmental parameters and the operation parameters of the air conditioner under the condition that the circulating water pump is started, determines the soaking time length of the wet film corresponding to the environmental parameters and the operation parameters according to the first relation, and determines the soaking time length as the first time length. Under the condition that the air conditioner executes the humidifying operation, the circulating water pump is controlled to be started according to the first time length, so that the circulating water pump can be timely closed before the wet film is saturated by the supplied water. The situation that water flowing through the wet film is excessive and is blown into a room by wind due to the fact that the water is continuously pumped by the circulating water pump after the wet film is saturated is avoided, and the problem that the water is blown by the wet film is solved. In addition, in the period from the unsaturated state to the complete saturation state of the wet film, the circulating water pump continuously operates, so that the rapid humidification is realized, and the humidification efficiency is ensured.

Optionally, the second duration is determined as follows: the air conditioner acquires environmental parameters and operating parameters of the air conditioner under the condition that the circulating water pump is closed; the air conditioner determines the blow-drying time of the wet film corresponding to the environmental parameter and the operation parameter according to the second relation; the air conditioner determines the blow-drying time period as a second time period.

The blow-drying time is the time required by the wet film to be in a saturated state to an unsaturated state under the current environmental parameters and operation parameters. The wet film drying state can be any unsaturated state except for the saturated wet film. The specific unsaturated state is set according to the actual situation of the user when the user uses the device.

Therefore, the air conditioner obtains the environmental parameters and the operation parameters of the air conditioner under the condition that the circulating water pump is closed, determines the blow-drying time length of the wet film corresponding to the environmental parameters and the operation parameters according to the second relation, and determines the blow-drying time length as the second time length. And under the condition that the air conditioner executes the drying operation, the circulating water pump is controlled to be closed according to the second time length, so that the circulating water pump can be timely started after the wet film is saturated by the supplied water. The problem that wet films blow water due to saturation of wet films can be avoided by setting drying operation.

Optionally, the first time period and the second time period may also be set by a user. In this way, the autonomy of the user is improved.

Referring to fig. 3, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for humidifying an air conditioner, including:

and S21, the air conditioner responds to the humidifying mode instruction and controls the fan to be started so that the hot air flows through the wet film humidifier.

S22, the air conditioner alternately performs a humidification operation and a drying operation.

And S31, the air conditioner determines the water level of the water receiving tray according to the opening state of the floater.

S32, the air conditioner opens the electromagnetic valve under the condition that the water level of the water pan is smaller than the water level threshold value until the floater is closed.

When the floater is disconnected, the water level in the water pan is smaller than the water level threshold, and when the floater is closed, the water level in the water pan is larger than or equal to the water level threshold.

By adopting the method for humidifying the air conditioner, the air conditioner opens the electromagnetic valve until the floater is closed before the circulating water pump is controlled to operate for the first time and under the condition that the floater is disconnected. The disconnection of the floater in the water pan indicates that the condensed water stored in the water pan is too little, and in order to ensure that the water supply amount is sufficient during humidification, the electromagnetic valve is opened to communicate with an external water source so as to perform water supplementing operation on the water pan. Until the float is closed, namely the water in the water receiving tray is sufficient. Like this, the condensate water in the preferred use water collector when the air conditioner humidification, under the insufficient condition of condensate water, just communicate outside water source through the solenoid valve and carry out the moisturizing. On the basis of saving water resources, the sufficient water source during humidification is ensured, and the stability of the operation humidification of the air conditioner is improved.

As shown in fig. 4, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for humidifying an air conditioner, including:

And S41, the air conditioner acquires the accumulated running time of the circulating water pump.

And S42, the air conditioner performs the cleaning operation on the wet film according to the accumulated running time.

By adopting the method for humidifying the air conditioner, the air conditioner acquires the accumulated running time of the circulating water pump and performs the cleaning operation on the wet film according to the accumulated running time. When the circulating water pump is operated cyclically for a long time, scale may be left on the wet film. At this time, the air conditioner performs a cleaning operation on the wet film, and the service life of the wet film can be improved.

Optionally, the air conditioner performs a cleaning operation of the wet film according to the accumulated operation time period, including: the air conditioner performs a cleaning operation of the wet film in a case where the accumulated operation time period is greater than the time period threshold value.

In this way, the air conditioner performs a cleaning operation of the wet film in a case where the accumulated operation time period is greater than the time period threshold value. For example, the residual scale on the wet film is washed clean by the washing action, so that the service life of the wet film can be prolonged.

Optionally, the cleaning operation comprises: and the air conditioner quits from alternately executing the humidifying operation and the drying operation, and controls the circulating water pump to continuously operate for a third time so as to supply water to the wet film humidifier and flush the wet film.

Therefore, the air conditioner quits to alternately execute the humidifying operation and the drying operation, and controls the circulating water pump to continuously run for a third time so as to supply water to the wet film humidifier and flush the wet film. For example, when the accumulated running time of the water pump exceeds the set time of the program, the circulating water pump exits the circulating opening state and enters the continuous water pumping state to perform the flushing action on the wet film, so that the scale remained on the wet film is flushed completely, and the service life of the wet film is prolonged.

Referring to fig. 5, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for humidifying an air conditioner, including:

And S51, controlling and increasing the running frequency of the compressor and/or the rotating speed of the fan under the condition that the air conditioner performs the drying operation.

By adopting the method for humidifying the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the disclosure, the air conditioner not only controls the circulating water pump to be closed for the second time length, but also controls the running frequency of the compressor to be increased, or controls the rotating speed of the fan to be increased, or controls the running frequency of the compressor and the rotating speed of the fan to be increased under the condition that the air conditioner executes the drying operation. So that the hot wind with higher temperature and higher speed blows to the wet film, the wet film is blown dry more quickly, the efficiency of blowing the wet film is improved, and the humidifying efficiency of the air conditioner is improved. Optionally, the humidifying operation further comprises: the air conditioner detects the initial temperature of water supply before controlling the circulating water pump to be started; the air conditioner heats the water flowing into the heating water tray from the screen mesh under the condition that the initial temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold value; and the air conditioner controls the electric heating device to be switched off under the condition that the initial temperature is greater than the temperature threshold value.

Thus, since the flow rate of water is reduced during the process of flowing through the screen, hot air can preheat the water supply flowing through the screen for the first time. When the water supply flows into the heating water tray from the screen, the water supply is accumulated on the heating water tray until the water supply flows into the wet film from the water leakage hole to be matched with the hot air for humidification after overflowing the lug boss. The air conditioner can heat the supply water a second time during the accumulation process. Through the secondary heating of screen cloth and heating water dish to supplying water, reduced the influence of water supply temperature to the humidification effect, improved the humidification effect of the air conditioner that is equipped with wet membrane humidifier. In addition, under the condition that the initial temperature is greater than the temperature threshold value, the temperature of the supplied water is indicated to be the ideal temperature required by the humidification of the air conditioner, and at the moment, the air conditioner directly controls the electric heating device to be turned off, so that the energy consumption is reduced. Moreover, although the electric heating device is closed, because the in-process velocity of flow that water flows through the screen cloth slows down, hot-blast this moment still can carry out once preheating to the water supply that flows through the screen cloth, avoids the temperature drop before the wet membrane of infiltration to lead to the condition that influences the humidification effect.

Alternatively, the air conditioner heats water flowing from the mesh into the heating water tray, including: the air conditioner determines target power according to the initial temperature, the temperature threshold value and the set temperature of the air conditioner; the air conditioner controls the electric heating device to heat according to the target power.

In this way, the air conditioner determines the target power according to the initial temperature, the temperature threshold value and the set temperature of the air conditioner, controls the electric heating device to heat according to the target power, and can heat the water flowing into the heating water tray in a targeted manner, so that the temperature of the supplied water meets the temperature requirement of the water required by the air conditioner for humidification. The condition that the power of the electric heating device is overhigh or insufficient is avoided, the energy consumption is reduced, and the humidifying efficiency is improved.

Optionally, the determining, by the air conditioner, the target power according to the initial temperature, the temperature threshold, and the set temperature of the air conditioner includes: the air conditioner calculates the temperature difference between the initial temperature and the temperature threshold; and the air conditioner determines the target power corresponding to the temperature difference and the set temperature according to the preset corresponding relation.

In this way, the air conditioner calculates the temperature difference between the initial temperature and the temperature threshold, and can determine the temperature difference between the current water supply temperature and the ideal water temperature required by humidification. The temperature of the supplied water flowing through the screen and entering the heating water tray is influenced by hot air flowing through the wet film humidifier, and the set temperature of the air conditioner during humidification can represent the temperature of the hot air blown out by the fan, so that the air conditioner determines the target power corresponding to the temperature difference and the set temperature according to the preset corresponding relation. The electric heating device heats the supplied water according to the target power, and can pertinently heat the water flowing into the heating water tray, so that the temperature of the supplied water meets the temperature requirement of the water required by the humidification of the air conditioner. The condition that the power of the electric heating device is overhigh or insufficient is avoided, the energy consumption is reduced, and the humidifying efficiency is improved.

Optionally, the air conditioner further includes, when the initial temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold: the air conditioner controls and increases the running frequency of the compressor and/or the rotating speed of the fan.

In this way, the air conditioner heats the water flowing from the mesh into the heating water tray when the initial temperature is less than or equal to the temperature threshold value, and further. The air conditioner also controls the running frequency of the compressor, or the rotating speed of the fan, or the running frequency of the compressor and the rotating speed of the fan, so that water is supplied to be better heated in the stage of flowing through the screen, the water is supplied to the heating water disc, the temperature of the water is higher, the temperature of the water is guaranteed, and the humidifying effect is improved.
