Referring first to fig. 1, the overall structure of the air conditioner of the present invention is schematically shown. As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner with automatic water replenishing and humidifying function of the present invention includes an indoor unit, an outdoor unit, and a refrigerant circulation loop 11 disposed between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, wherein a refrigerant for heat exchange between indoor and outdoor flows through the refrigerant circulation loop 11, and the refrigerant circulation loop 11 is provided with an indoor heat exchanger 111, a throttling member 112, an outdoor heat exchanger 113, a compressor 114, and a four-way valve 115; it should be noted that, the invention does not limit the specific structure of the air conditioner, and the technicians can set the structure according to the actual use requirements; for example, the four-way valve 115 may not be disposed on the refrigerant circulation circuit 11, that is, the air conditioner has only a function of one-way heat exchange, which does not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and falls into the protection scope of the present invention.
Specifically, the indoor heat exchanger 111 is arranged in the indoor unit, and an indoor heat exchange fan 101 is further arranged in the indoor unit, and the indoor heat exchange fan 101 is arranged near the indoor heat exchanger 111, so as to assist in improving the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger 111. The outdoor heat exchanger 113 is disposed in the outdoor unit, and an outdoor heat exchange fan 102 is further disposed in the outdoor unit, and the outdoor heat exchange fan 102 is disposed near the outdoor heat exchanger 113, so as to assist in improving the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 113. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific types and the specific installation positions of the indoor heat exchanger 111, the outdoor heat exchanger 113, the indoor heat exchange fan 101, and the outdoor heat exchange fan 102, and those skilled in the art can set the types and the specific installation positions according to actual use requirements. The refrigerant continuously circulates between the indoor heat exchanger 111 and the outdoor heat exchanger 113 through the refrigerant circulation loop 11 to realize heat exchange, and the refrigerant in the refrigerant circulation loop 11 can be controlled to realize reverse circulation when the four-way valve 115 is reversed, so that the air conditioner is switched between a cooling working condition and a heating working condition. It should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific types of the components of the refrigerant circulation circuit 11, and those skilled in the art can set the types according to the actual use requirement, which is not restrictive.
Further, the air conditioner of the present invention further includes a humidifying device 12 and a water receiving assembly 13, the humidifying device 12 is disposed in the indoor unit to humidify the indoor air, and the humidifying device 12 is preferably an ultrasonic humidifier, which is a preferred configuration and is not limited.

The defrosting assembly 13 comprises an indoor defrosting member 131, an outdoor defrosting member 132 and a water replenishing pump 133, wherein the indoor defrosting member 131 is arranged to collect the condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchanger 111 and is connected to the humidifying device 12 through an indoor water replenishing pipeline 134, so that the condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchanger 111 is automatically introduced into the humidifying device 12 under the action of gravity, and thus the cost is effectively saved; the outdoor water receiving member 132 is provided to collect the condensed water generated by the outdoor heat exchanger 113 and is connected to the humidifying device 12 through an outdoor water supplement pipe 135, and a water supplement pump 133 is provided on the outdoor water supplement pipe 135 to introduce the condensed water generated by the outdoor heat exchanger 113 into the humidifying device 12. It should be noted that, the present invention does not limit the specific structures of the indoor water receiving member 131 and the outdoor water receiving member 132 and the specific types of the water replenishing pumps 133, and those skilled in the art can set the structures according to actual needs.
It can be understood that, because the indoor units are usually provided with a filter screen and the indoor air is usually clean, the condensed water collected by the indoor water receiving member 131 can be directly introduced into the humidifying device 12 for use; based on this, the indoor water receiving component 131 only needs to adopt a water receiving barrel with a water receiving function, so that the cost is effectively saved. Of course, this is only a preferred arrangement, but not a limitation, and a person skilled in the art may set the specific structure of the indoor water receiving member 131 according to actual use requirements.
Compared with the condensed water collected by the indoor water receiving member 131, the condensed water collected by the outdoor water receiving member 132 is often used after being processed to a certain degree because the outdoor unit has a poor filtering effect and poor cleanliness of outdoor air. Based on this, the present invention improves the structure of the outdoor water receiving member 132 to obtain clear water by standing, thereby effectively saving the filtering cost.
Referring to fig. 2, a schematic view of the outdoor water receiving member according to the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 2, the outdoor water receiving member 132 includes a case 1321 and a water receiving chamber formed in the case 1321, the water receiving chamber being disposed below the outdoor heat exchanger 113 so as to collect condensed water generated by the outdoor heat exchanger 113; it should be noted that the present invention does not limit the specific structure of the housing 1321 and the specific shape of the water receiving chamber, and those skilled in the art can set the configuration according to the actual use requirement. A water level sensor 1325 is arranged in the water receiving cavity, and the water level sensor 1325 can acquire the height of the water level in the water receiving cavity; of course, the present invention does not limit the specific type of the water level sensor 1325, and those skilled in the art can select the water level sensor according to the actual use as long as the water level in the water receiving chamber can be detected.
Specifically, in the preferred embodiment, the bottom of the housing 1321 is provided with a first bleeder 1322, the first bleeder 1322 being adapted to discharge water at the bottom of the drip chamber. It should be noted that the first water discharge valve 1322 may be an electromagnetic valve or a mechanical valve, and the specific structure thereof may be changed without departing from the basic principle of the present invention, and thus, the present invention is within the protection scope thereof. It is further preferable that a float 1323 is further provided in the housing 1321, the float 1323 is connected to the first drain valve 1322 to automatically control the open/close state of the first drain valve 1322 according to the height of the water level in the water receiving chamber, that is, when the height of the water level in the water receiving chamber is higher than a preset height, the float 1323 can automatically drive the first drain valve 1322 to open so as to release the water at the bottom of the water receiving chamber. Of course, the present invention does not limit the specific type of float 1323, and those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual use requirement.
Further, in order to effectively ensure that the first water drain valve 1322 can automatically return in the falling process, the bottom of the housing 1321 is specially designed to be an arc-shaped structure, and when the first water drain valve 1322 does not fall to the bottom, the first water drain valve 1322 can continuously move along the arc-shaped housing 1321 so as to accurately fall to the initial position, thereby effectively ensuring the tightness of the housing 1321 and preventing water leakage; at least a portion of the first drain valve 1322 is also configured to have an arc shape, so as to further ensure that the first drain valve 1322 and the housing 1321 can be smoothly coupled, thereby ensuring the reliability of the outdoor water receiving member 132.
In addition, a second water drain valve 1324 is disposed on the top of the housing 1321, and the second water drain valve 1324 is used for releasing water at the top of the water receiving chamber. It should be noted that the second water release valve 1324 may be a solenoid valve or a mechanical valve, and such changes in specific structure do not depart from the basic principle of the present invention and fall into the protection scope of the present invention.
With continued reference to fig. 2, when the outdoor water receiving member 132 is fully rested when the water level reaches L1, normally, the water in the outdoor water receiving member 132 can be roughly divided into three layers, wherein the top layer (layers a and B shown in fig. 2) is a light particle layer, the middle layer (layers 3 to 9 shown in fig. 2) is a clean layer, and the bottom layer ( layers 1 and 2 shown in fig. 2) is a bottom deposited layer. In order to ensure the quality of the supplied water effectively, the water replenishing pump 133 only pumps the water in the clean layer for the humidifying device 12.
As a preferable arrangement, the air conditioner further includes a flushing waterway (not shown), one end of the flushing waterway is connected to the indoor water receiving member 131, the other end of the flushing waterway is connected to the outdoor water receiving member 132, and a flushing water pump is disposed on the flushing waterway so as to introduce water in the indoor water receiving member 131 into the outdoor water receiving member 132 for flushing. It is understood that, when the air conditioner is used in summer, there is generally no strong humidification requirement in the indoor, and the indoor heat exchanger 111 can generate much condensed water, in which case the air conditioner can introduce the water in the indoor water receiving member 131 into the outdoor water receiving member 132 through the flushing waterway to flush, so as to effectively ensure the cleanliness of the outdoor water receiving member 132.
Further, the air conditioner of the present invention further includes a controller capable of acquiring detection data of the water level sensor 1325 and controlling an operation state of the air conditioner, for example, controlling opening and closing states of the first and second drain valves 1322 and 1324, etc. It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention does not limit the specific structure and model of the controller, and the controller may be the original controller of the air conditioner, or may be a controller separately configured to execute the control method of the present invention, and the structure and model of the controller may be set by a technician according to actual use requirements.
Referring next to fig. 3, a flowchart of the main steps of the control method of the present invention is shown. As shown in fig. 3, based on the air conditioner described in the above embodiment, the control method of the present invention mainly includes the following steps:
s1: acquiring the height of the water level in the water receiving cavity;
s2: and controlling the opening and closing states of the first water drain valve and the second water drain valve according to the water level height in the water receiving cavity.
Specifically, in step S1, the controller can acquire the water level height in the water receiving chamber through the water level sensor 1325 as a basic parameter for subsequent judgment. Of course, the invention does not limit the specific manner of obtaining the water level height, and those skilled in the art can set other manners according to the actual use requirement.
Further, in step S2, as a preferable control manner, step S2 specifically includes: if the water level in the water receiving cavity reaches a preset height, after the water in the water receiving cavity stands for a first preset time, a second water drain valve 1324 is opened to release the water at the top of the water receiving cavity; after the water at the top of the water receiving cavity is released, the second water drain valve 1324 is closed; and after standing for a second preset time, opening the first water drain valve 1322 to release water at the lower part of the water receiving cavity, and closing the first water drain valve 1322 after the water level is reduced to the bottom and the deposited layer is completely discharged, thereby finally obtaining clean water.
It should be noted that, the specific values of the preset height, the first preset duration and the second preset duration are not limited in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can set the values according to actual needs.
Further, after the step of "opening the first water drain valve to discharge water at a lower portion of the water receiving chamber", the control method further includes: the water replenishing pump 133 is started so as to introduce the water in the water receiving cavity into the humidifying device 12, so that automatic water replenishing is effectively realized, and the user experience is effectively improved.
