Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different structures of the invention. In order to simplify the present disclosure, components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. They are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and/or the use of other materials.

Next, a recycling and distributing system 10 for an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the recycling and dispensing system 10 includes: and a recovery unit 11, wherein the recovery unit 11 is used for recovering water in the air conditioner 100. For example, the water may be condensed water generated in the air conditioner 100 in a cooling mode, a humidifying mode, or the like, and for example, the water may be washing wastewater generated in a washing mode. The recovery assembly 11 has a water outlet 1111, the water outlet 1111 being for discharging water recovered by the recovery assembly 11, that is, water recovered by the recovery assembly 11 can be discharged through the water outlet 1111.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the recycling and dispensing system 10 includes: the water diversion assembly 12. The water diversion assembly 12 has a water supply chamber 1211 and a water discharge chamber 1212, and in combination with fig. 4 and 5, the water diversion assembly 12 is switchable between a first state, as shown in fig. 4, in which the water supply chamber 1211 communicates with a water outlet 1111 such that the recovery assembly 11 is adapted to discharge water to the water supply chamber 1211, and a second state, as shown in fig. 5, in which the water discharge chamber 1212 communicates with the water outlet 1111 such that the recovery assembly 11 is adapted to discharge water to the water discharge chamber 1212.

For example, when the water recovered by the recovery unit 11 is clean, the water diversion unit 12 may be switched to the first state, and at this time, the recovery unit 11 supplies the recovered water to the water supply chamber 1211 to be supplied to the air conditioner 100 by the water supply chamber 1211 for reuse, thereby achieving the effect of saving water. When the water recovered by the recovery assembly 11 is not clean enough, the water diversion assembly 12 can be switched to the second state, and at this time, the recovery assembly 11 provides the recovered water to the water drainage cavity 1212, and the water is not provided to the air conditioner 100 by the water supply cavity 1211 for reuse, so that the air conditioner 100 is prevented from working with dirty water.

Further, as shown in fig. 2-5, the water distribution assembly 12 has a water supply port 1213 in communication with the water supply chamber 1211, and the recovery dispensing system 10 further includes a purge assembly 13, the purge assembly 13 being in communication downstream of the water supply port 1213. The communication described herein is direct or indirect communication, for example, here, as long as water discharged from the water supply port 1213 can enter the water inlet port 1301 of the purification assembly 13 to be purified.

Thus, the water discharged from the water supply chamber 1211 can be purified by the purifying unit 13, so that the cleanliness of the air conditioner 100 for reuse of the water is improved, the effect of the air conditioner 100 for reuse of the water is improved, and the air conditioner 100 is protected. For example, when the air conditioner 100 humidifies with water discharged from the water supply chamber 1211, the cleanliness of the humidified water can be ensured by the treatment of the purification assembly 13, environmental pollution is avoided, and the service life of the device for achieving humidification is advantageous, and for example, when the water discharged from the water supply chamber 1211 is used for washing, the cleanliness of the washing water can be ensured by the treatment of the purification assembly 13, so that the washing effect can be improved, and the service life of the device for achieving washing is advantageous.

For example, when the water recovered by the recovery unit 11 is condensed water, the content of soluble particles in the condensed water is about 10ppm, and the content of soluble particles in tap water is about 140ppm, which is far higher than the condensed water, so that the condensed water is used for humidification, thereby protecting the humidifying device in the air conditioner 100, such as the steam generator 21, and prolonging the service life of the steam generator 21. When the water recovered by the recovery unit 11 is the cleaning wastewater or the condensed water generated in the dirty condition such as the heat exchange device 31, the water quality is dirty, if the water is discharged to the purification unit 13, the service life of the purification unit 13 is influenced, the required cost is high, and the economical efficiency is poor, so that the water can be recovered to the water discharge cavity 1212 and directly discharged out of the air conditioner 100 or is poured by a user, the economical efficiency can be improved, and the use cost is reduced.

Thus, according to the recycling and distributing system 10 of the embodiment of the present invention, by providing the water diversion component 12 in the switchable state and communicating the water supply cavity 1211 of the water diversion component 12, instead of the water discharge cavity 1212 with the purifying component 13, on one hand, recycling, purifying and reusing of water can be achieved, on the other hand, water can be saved, the working effect of reusing water can be improved, the device for reusing water in the air conditioner 100 can be protected, on the other hand, the dirty water discharged from the water discharge cavity 1212 can be prevented from being treated by the purifying component 13, and adverse effects on the service life of the purifying component 13 can be avoided, so that the overall economy and service life of the recycling and distributing system 10 can be improved.

It should be noted that the specific constitution of the purifying assembly 13 is not limited, and for example, two embodiments will be given below, but the purifying assembly 13 of the present invention is not limited to the following two embodiments.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 6-8, the purifying assembly 13 may include a first filter 131, where the first filter 131 may include a first housing assembly 1311 and a first filter core 1312, the first housing assembly 1311 has a water inlet channel 1303 and a water outlet channel 1304, the first filter core 1312 is disposed in the first housing assembly 1311 and is in a sheet shape, and the water inlet channel 1303 and the water outlet channel 1304 are located on two sides of a thickness of the first filter core 1312, respectively.

Wherein, the water inlet channel 1303 can be directly or indirectly communicated with the water supply port 1213 of the water diversion component 12, and the water discharged from the water supply port 1213 can enter the water inlet channel 1303 of the first filter 131, then be filtered by the first filter element 1312, and then be discharged through the water outlet channel 1304, thereby achieving the effect of filtration and purification. Thus, the first filter 131 has a simple structure, and can simply and effectively perform a water purifying process.

The material of the first filter element 1312 is not limited, and may be, for example, a nonwoven fabric material, such as polyester fiber, which has hydrophilicity, and can effectively filter the condensed water with dust without applying force, so that the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced because the characteristic that the nonwoven fabric can effectively filter the dust in the condensed water without applying pressure is utilized, and as shown in fig. 2, a water pump or the like is not required to be provided on the water path between the water diversion component 12 and the first filter 131. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other suitable materials may be selected to make the first filter element 1312 according to the water purification requirements.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 6 and 8, the first housing assembly 1311 may include a first housing 13111 and a second housing 13112, the water inlet passage 1303 is formed on the first housing 13111, the water outlet passage 1304 is formed on the second housing 13112, the first housing 13111 is assembled with the second housing 13112 to form a filter cavity 13113 between the first housing 13111 and the second housing 13112, and the first filter core 1312 is disposed in the filter cavity 13113, thereby the first housing assembly 1311 is simple in structure, easy to process, and easy to assemble and fix the first filter core 1312.

The first housing 13111 and the second housing 13112 may be assembled by, for example, interference fit, screw connection, snap connection, or the like. For example, in the example shown in fig. 8, the first housing 13111 and the second housing 13112 may be inserted through a ring structure, so that a reliable connection is achieved, and a water seal may be formed by using the inserted position to prevent water from leaking out.

Further, as shown in fig. 8, first filter element 1312 may be located on a side of filter cavity 13113 adjacent to water outlet channel 1304, and dimension H of filter cavity 13113 in the thickness direction of first filter element 1312 exceeds (i.e., is equal to or greater than) twice thickness T of first filter element 1312. Therefore, the filter cavity 13113 can effectively buffer water flow, so that the water flow can fully and comprehensively contact with the first filter core 1312, and the filtering and purifying effects of the first filter 131 are improved. In addition, the first filter element 1312 disposed in this manner is convenient for fixing and limiting, and may be directly connected to the second housing 13112, for example, so as to improve the working stability and reliability of the first filter element 1312.

In other embodiments, as shown in fig. 9-11, the purification assembly 13 may include a second filter 132, where the second filter 132 includes a second housing assembly 1321 and a second filter core 1322, where the second filter core 1322 is disposed within the second housing assembly 1321 to define a water inlet chamber 13213 between an outer wall of the second filter core 1322 and the second housing assembly 1321, where a water outlet chamber 132211 is formed within the second filter core 1322, where the second housing assembly 1321 has a water inlet port 1301 in communication with the water inlet chamber 13213 and a water outlet port 1302 in communication with the water outlet chamber 132211.

Wherein, the water inlet 1301 can be directly or indirectly communicated with the water supply port 1213 of the water diversion component 12, the water discharged from the water supply port 1213 can enter the water inlet cavity 13213, be filtered by the second filter core 1322, enter the water outlet cavity 132211, and then be discharged through the water outlet 1302, thereby achieving the effect of filtration and purification. Thus, the second filter 132 has a simple structure, can simply and effectively perform water purification treatment, and has a good treatment effect.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 11 and 12, the second housing component 1321 has a water inlet channel 1303 that communicates with the water inlet port 1301 and a water outlet channel 1304 that communicates with the water outlet port 1302, the second filter core 1322 includes a filter core body 13221 and a filter core end cover 13222, the filter core body 13221 is hollow and cylindrical to define a water outlet cavity 132211 that is open at two axial ends by the cylindrical cavity of the filter core body 13221, a water inlet cavity 13213 is defined between the peripheral wall of the filter core body 13221 and the second housing component 1321, the water inlet channel 1303 and the water outlet channel 1304 are respectively located at two axial sides of the filter core body 13221, the filter core end cover 13222 is disposed at one end of the filter core body 13221 facing the water inlet channel 1303 to close one axial end of the water outlet cavity 132211 (i.e. toward one axial end of the water inlet 1303, as shown in fig. 11) and the other axial end of the water outlet cavity 132211 (i.e. toward one axial end of the water outlet channel 1304, as shown in fig. 11) is in butt-joint communication with the water outlet channel 1304.

Thus, when water enters the second filter 132 through the inlet port 1301, the water flows along the inlet channel 1303 toward the cartridge end cover 13222, is blocked by the cartridge end cover 13222 after reaching the cartridge end cover 13222, passes around the inlet chamber 13213 on the peripheral side of the cartridge body 13221, passes through the cartridge body 13221 substantially radially to be filtered, enters the outlet chamber 132211 in the cartridge body 13221, and is discharged from the outlet port 1302 through the outlet channel 1304. Therefore, the filtering purification can be simply and effectively realized, and the water treatment effect is good.

The material of the filter element body 13221 of the second filter element 1322 is not limited, and may be PP cotton (artificial chemical fiber made of polypropylene fiber) or the like, for example, so that the filtering and purifying effects are good. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and other suitable materials may be selected to make the filter element body 13221 of the second filter element 1322 according to the water purification requirements.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 11, the second housing assembly 1321 includes a third housing 13211 and a fourth housing 13212, the water inlet passage 1303 is formed in the third housing 13211, the water outlet passage 1304 is formed in the fourth housing 13212, the third housing 13211 is assembled with the fourth housing 13212 to form a mounting cavity between the third housing 13211 and the fourth housing 13212, the second filter core 1322 is disposed in the mounting cavity, and both axial ends of the second filter core 1322 are respectively abutted against inner walls of the third housing 13211 and the fourth housing 13212. Thus, the second housing assembly 1321 is simple in construction, easy to machine, and easy to assemble and secure to the second filter core 1322.

The third housing 13211 and the fourth housing 13212 may be assembled by, for example, interference fit, screw connection, snap connection, or the like. For example, in the example shown in fig. 11, the third housing 13211 and the fourth housing 13212 may be inserted through a ring structure, so that a reliable connection is achieved, and a water seal may be formed by using the inserted position to prevent water from leaking.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 13, the purifying assembly 13 may further include: the first water pump 133, the first water pump 133 is communicated between the water supply port 1213 and the water inlet port 1301 of the second filter 132. Thus, by providing the first water pump 133 on the water path between the water diversion component 12 and the second filter 132, the water flow can more easily pass through the second filter core 1322, and the problems of unsmooth water flow and slow water flow speed caused by excessive resistance of the second filter core 1322 are solved.

Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, in other embodiments of the present invention, a water pump (for example, a second water pump 15 described below and located downstream of the water tank assembly 14, or a water pump between the second filter 132 and the water tank assembly 14 described below, etc.) may be disposed downstream of the second filter 132, so that the water flow easily passes through the second filter core 1322, and the problems of poor water flow and slow water flow due to excessive resistance of the second filter core 1322 are improved.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 13, the recycling bin system 10 may further include: a tank assembly 14, the tank assembly 14 communicating downstream of the purge assembly 13. Therefore, the water treated by the purifying component 13 is firstly sent into the water tank component 14 for buffering, and when the air conditioner 100 needs to work by using the water, the water tank component 14 provides the water for the air conditioner 100 for recycling, so that the working flexibility of the air conditioner 100 is improved. Furthermore, by disposing the purge assembly 13 upstream of the tank assembly 14, the cleanliness of the tank assembly 14 can be ensured. It should be noted that the specific configuration of the tank assembly 14 is not limited, and may be, for example, but not limited to, a detailed embodiment described later, and will not be described herein.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 8, 11 and 13, the purifying component 13 has a water outlet nozzle 1306, the water outlet nozzle 1306 defines a water outlet port 1302, the water tank component 14 includes a water inlet interface 1412, the water outlet nozzle 1306 is plugged into the water inlet interface 1412, and a sealing sleeve 134, such as a silica gel sleeve, sleeved on the water outlet nozzle 1306 is disposed between the water outlet nozzle 1306 and the water inlet interface 1412. Thereby, the convenience of connection of the purification assembly 13 and the tank assembly 14 and the sealing water leakage prevention property are improved. In addition, in some embodiments, the purifying component 13 may further have a water inlet nozzle 1305, where the water inlet nozzle 1305 defines a water inlet 1301, and the water inlet nozzle 1305 may also be sleeved with a sealing sleeve 134, so as to promote water leakage prevention when the water inlet nozzle 1305 is connected.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the recycling bin system 10 may include: a second water pump 15, the second water pump 15 being in communication downstream of the tank assembly 14. Thus, water flow power may be provided by the second water pump 15 such that water enters the water tank assembly 14 and such that water may flow out of the water tank assembly 14 for reuse in favor of supply to the air conditioner 100. In addition, in this embodiment, the first water pump 133 may be omitted for the second filter 132, and of course, the first water pump 133 may not be omitted, which is not a limitation.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3-5, the water diversion assembly 12 includes: the water diversion box 121 and the water diversion member 122, the water supply chamber 1211 and the water discharge chamber 1212 are formed in the water diversion box 121, the water diversion member 122 is used for guiding water flowing out from the water outlet 1111 to the water diversion box 121, and the water diversion member 122 is movable between a first position and a second position relative to the water diversion box 121. As shown in fig. 4, when the water distribution member 122 is in the first position, the water distribution assembly 12 assumes a first state, wherein the water distribution member 122 is adapted to direct water to the water supply chamber 1211, i.e. at this point, if water flows out of the water outlet 1111, it will flow into the water supply chamber 1211 under the direction of the water distribution member 122. As shown in FIG. 5, when the water distribution member 122 is in the second position, the water distribution assembly 12 assumes a second condition in which the water distribution member 122 is adapted to direct water toward the drainage cavity 1212, i.e., at this point, if water flows out of the water outlet 1111, it will flow into the drainage cavity 1212 under the direction of the water distribution member 122. Thus, the water diversion assembly 12 has a simple structure, and the switching between the first state and the second state can be simply and reliably realized.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the water supply port 1213 may be formed at the bottom of the water distribution box 121. Thus, the water supply port 1213 can be used to connect the water outlet pipe 162 with the purification unit 13 directly or indirectly, thereby simplifying the connection, and the water supply port 1213 is arranged at the bottom of the water diversion box 121, so that the water level in the water supply cavity 1211 is low, and water can be discharged through the water supply port 1213 as long as the water supply cavity 1211 is provided with water.

In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 5, the bottom of the water diversion box 121 can be formed with a drain 1214, the drain 1214 communicating with the drain cavity 1212. Accordingly, the waste water pipe 163 is connected to the drain port 1214, whereby the water in the drain chamber 1212 is directly discharged, and the drain is simplified, and the drain port 1214 is provided at the bottom of the water diversion box 121, so that the water in the drain chamber 1212 is discharged through the drain port 1214 as long as the water in the drain chamber 1212 is present. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, a water conduit may be inserted into the water discharge cavity 1212, or the water discharge cavity 1212 may be provided in a detachable form, so that water in the water discharge cavity 1212 is discharged or poured out to discharge water, which will not be described herein.

The movement of the water diversion member 122 relative to the water diversion box 121 may be manually driven by a user or may be automatically driven by the driver 123. For example, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3 and 14, the water diversion assembly 12 may include an actuator 123, the actuator 123 being coupled (i.e., directly or indirectly coupled) to the water diversion member 122 for driving the water diversion member 122 between the first position and the second position. Thus, the manual operation of the user is omitted.

It should be noted that the driver 123 may be electrically driven, hydraulically driven, pneumatically driven, or the like. For example, in connection with fig. 3 to 14, the driver 123 may include a driving motor 1231 to achieve electric driving of the water dividing member 122, so that the constitution of the driver 123 may be simplified. In addition, when the driver 123 is driven electrically, the driving motor 1231 may be included, and the driving motor 1231 may be directly connected to the water diversion member 122, or may also include both the driving motor 1231 and a connection mechanism (not shown) connected between the driving motor 1231 and the water diversion member 122, and so on, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 2 and 15-16, the recycling assembly 11 further includes a water receiving tray 111, the water receiving tray 111 is disposed above the water diversion assembly 12, the water receiving tray 111 has a water outlet pipe 1110 extending downward and into the water diversion member 122, and a nozzle of the water outlet pipe 1110 is formed as a water outlet 1111. Thus, the recovery unit 11 can recover water in the air conditioner 100 by using the water receiving tray 111 and discharge the water through the nozzle of the water outlet pipe 1110 on the water receiving tray 111. Wherein, through setting up the water collector 111 in the top of dividing subassembly 12, and in outlet pipe 1110 inserts dividing piece 122 top, can simplify the intercommunication mode of retrieving subassembly 11 and dividing subassembly 12, simplify the structure, simplify the assembly, reduce cost, and can shorten the water supply path from retrieving subassembly 11 to dividing subassembly 12, reduce hydraulic loss, can need not the drive source that drives water flow, utilize water self gravity effect, flow to dividing piece 122 from water collector 111 voluntarily, simplify the structure, reduce cost.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 17 to 18, or in combination with fig. 27 to 29, the water diversion box 121 may be fixedly installed to the water receiving tray 111, thereby simplifying the installation of the water diversion assembly 12, improving the compactness and saving the space, and ensuring the reliability and stability of the waterway communication between the water receiving tray 111 and the water diversion box 121. For example, the bottom of the water tray 111 may have a plurality of dispenser mounting parts 1115 for making connection with the water dispenser box 121, thereby improving the mounting stability and reliability of the water dispenser box 121.

Further, by fixing the water distribution box 121 to the water receiving tray 111, the movement of the water distribution member 122 is not restricted. For example, the driving motor 1231 may be mounted to the water diversion box 121, and thus, when the water diversion member 122 is fixedly connected to the driving motor 1231, the water diversion member 122 may be mounted.

It should be noted that, the movement manner of the water diversion member 122 relative to the water diversion box 121 is not limited, and depends on the structural form of the water diversion member 122. For example, some alternative configurations will be listed later, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Example 1

As shown in fig. 3-5, the longitudinal ends of the water dividing member 122 have a first water outlet 12251 and a second water outlet 12252, respectively, and the water dividing member 122 is configured to be rotatable about a laterally extending pivot axis 1220, in a first position in which the first water outlet 12251 is below the second water outlet 12252, and in a second position in which the second water outlet 12252 is below the first water outlet 12251. Wherein the extending direction of the pivot axis 1220 is a lateral direction, and the longitudinal direction refers to a direction perpendicular to the lateral direction, i.e. perpendicular to the pivot axis 1220.

As shown in fig. 4, when the water diversion member 122 is rotated about the pivot axis 1220 to the first position, the first water outlet 12251 falls and the second water outlet 12252 is lifted, the first water outlet 12251 is lower than the second water outlet 12252, such that water within the water diversion member 122 will pool towards the first water outlet 12251 under the force of gravity so as to flow out of the first water outlet 12251. As shown in fig. 5, when the water diversion member 122 is rotated about the pivot axis 1220 to the second position, the second water outlet 12252 falls, the first water outlet 12251 is lifted, and the second water outlet 12252 is lower than the first water outlet 12251, such that water within the water diversion member 122 will pool toward the second water outlet 12252 under the force of gravity so as to flow out of the second water outlet 12252.

Thus, by utilizing the change in the height of the first water outlet 12251 and the second water outlet 12252, the water in the water diversion member 122 is prevented from converging toward the second water outlet 12252 in the first state and from overflowing from the second water outlet 12252, and the water in the water diversion member 122 is prevented from converging toward the first water outlet 12251 and from overflowing from the first water outlet 12251 in the second state. Therefore, the action of the water diversion member 122 is simple and reliable, and the conception is ingenious.

For example, when the water recovered by the recovery unit 11 is clean, the water diversion unit 12 may be switched to the first state, and at this time, the water diversion member 122 is located at the first position, the recovery unit 11 provides the recovered water to the buffer cavity 1224, and the buffer cavity 1224 distributes the water to the water supply cavity 1211, so as to provide the water for the purification unit 13 to process, and then provide the water for the air conditioner 100 to reuse, thereby achieving the effect of saving water. When the water recovered by the recovery component 11 is not clean enough, the water diversion component 12 can be switched to the second state, at this time, the water diversion component 122 is located at the second position, the recovery component 11 provides the recovered water to the buffer cavity 1224, the buffer cavity 1224 distributes the water to the water drainage cavity 1212, and the water is no longer provided to the purification component 13 by the water supply cavity 1211 for treatment, so that the air conditioner 100 is not recycled, thereby avoiding influencing the service life of the purification component 13 and prolonging the service life of the purification component 13.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3-5, the first water outlet 12251 and the second water outlet 12252 are each located at an end face of a longitudinal end of the water distribution member 122 to be open in the longitudinal direction toward a direction away from the pivot axis 1220, respectively. Therefore, the water outlet efficiency is high, and the water diversion reliability is high. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, in other embodiments of the present invention, the first water outlet 12251 and the second water outlet 12252 may be provided on the peripheral surfaces of the both ends of the water diversion member 122 in the longitudinal direction, respectively.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3-5, the water distribution member 122 includes two longitudinally extending side walls 12261, the two side walls 12261 being arranged in sequence in a lateral direction (i.e., the direction of extension of the pivot axis 1220), the lower ends of the two side walls 12261 being connected and the upper ends being spaced apart to form a buffer chamber 1224 between the two side walls 12261 that is closed at the bottom, open at the top, and open at the longitudinal ends, respectively. Therefore, the water dividing member 122 has simple structure, convenient processing and low cost, and only water is provided in the buffer cavity 1224, and only the first water outlet 12251 and the second water outlet 12252 have a height difference, one of the first water outlet 12251 and the second water outlet 12252 can be ensured to discharge water, and the other water outlet is not discharged, so that the water level in the buffer cavity 1224 is not limited, the water dividing member 122 can thoroughly discharge water in both the first position and the second position, and the problems of pollution caused by introducing dirty water into the water supply cavity 1211, waste caused by introducing clean water into the water discharge cavity 1212 and the like are avoided.

It should be noted that, the lower ends of the two side walls 12261 of the water diversion member 122 may be directly connected or indirectly connected through the bottom wall 12262, and if the bottom wall 12262 is provided, for example, as shown in fig. 3, the lower ends of the two side walls 12261 need not be extended together, so that the volume of the buffer cavity 1224 may be increased.

Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 3, the pivot axis 1220 is located longitudinally centrally of the water dividing member 122. I.e. the pivot axis 1220 is equidistant from each longitudinal end of the water dividing member 122. Therefore, the movement flexibility and stability of the water diversion element 122 between the first position and the second position are better, and the driving force for driving the water diversion element 122 to move is smoother.

Alternatively, for example, in the examples shown in fig. 3 and 14, the driver 123 includes a driving motor 1231, and a driving shaft 1232 of the driving motor 1231 is directly connected to the water dividing member 122 to drive the water dividing member 122 to rotate. Therefore, the direct driving of the water diversion element 122 by the driving motor 1231 can simplify the structure, reduce the volume and the cost, and save the manual operation of a user to drive the water diversion element 122 to move.

Optionally, for example, in the examples shown in fig. 3 to 5, the water diversion member 122 is disposed in the water diversion box 121, so that the compactness of the water diversion assembly 12 can be improved, the volume of the water diversion assembly 12 can be reduced, the space occupied by the water diversion assembly 12 can be reduced, and the problem that the water diversion member 122 sprays water outside the water diversion box 121 can be avoided.

Further, as shown in fig. 3 and 14, the water diversion member 122 has a pivot shaft 1227 thereon, the body of the driving motor 1231 is provided outside the water diversion box 121, and the water diversion box 121 has a through hole 1215 for connecting the driving shaft 1232 with the pivot shaft 1227. Thus, by disposing the body of the driving motor 1231 outside the water distribution box 121, the waterproof design can be simplified, and the operation reliability of the driving motor 1231 can be improved.

Alternatively, for example, in the example shown in fig. 3 and 14, a through hole 1215 is formed on the side wall 12261 of the water distribution box 121, a pivot shaft 1227 is provided through the through hole 1215, and a driving shaft 1232 is inserted into the pivot shaft 1227. Thereby, the problem of water overflowing from the position of the through hole 1215 in the water distribution box 121 can be improved, and the connection of the driver 123 with the water distribution member 122 can be simply and conveniently achieved.

For example, in some embodiments, as shown in fig. 3, when the water dividing member 122 includes the two side walls 12261, the outer surface of the side wall 12261 of the water dividing member 122 may be protruded with the pivot shaft 1227. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the driving motor 1231 may be provided inside the water diversion box 121, or the like.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3-5, the top of the water distribution box 121 is open, thereby facilitating the loading of the water distribution member 122 into the water distribution box 121 and/or facilitating the water guiding of the water distribution member 122 into the water distribution box 121.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the water diversion box 121 has a partition structure 1216 therein, and the water discharge cavity 1212 and the water supply cavity 1211 are separated at both sides of the partition structure 1216, thereby making the structure of the water diversion box 121 simple and convenient for processing and molding.

Example two

As shown in fig. 19 to 23, the water dividing member 122 is rotatable about the pivot axis 1220 between a first position in which the water dividing outlet 1221 is opposed to the water supply chamber 1211 so that water flowing out of the water dividing outlet 1221 can enter the correspondingly disposed water supply chamber 1211 and a second position in which the water dividing outlet 1221 is opposed to the water discharge chamber 1212 so that water flowing out of the water dividing outlet 1221 can enter the correspondingly disposed water discharge chamber 1212, formed on the water dividing member 122 eccentrically disposed with respect to the pivot axis 1220.

Thus, the water diversion member 122 has smart structure and good motion stability, alternatively, the water diversion member 122 may be configured to rotate circularly in one direction (e.g. always clockwise or always counterclockwise), the water diversion member 122 may also be configured to rotate reciprocally in the opposite direction (e.g. always clockwise or always counterclockwise), etc., which will not be described herein.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 19, a water diversion outlet 1221 is formed at the bottom of the water diversion member 122. Thus, the gravity of the water can be utilized without a power source for driving the water to flow, so that the water entering the water diversion member 122 can automatically flow out of the water diversion outlet 1221.

Further, as shown in fig. 19-21, the pivot axis 1220 extends vertically (vertical is understood herein as being either a gravitational direction or slightly inclined to the gravitational direction), the top of the water dividing member 122 has a water dividing inlet 1222 communicating with the water outlet 1111, and the water dividing inlet 1222 is disposed at the top of the water dividing member 122, and the pivot axis 1220 is disposed vertically, which effectively increases the water containing volume of the water dividing member 122 and avoids the problem of water being sprayed outward during movement of the water dividing member 122.

Alternatively, as shown in fig. 22-23, the water diversion member 122 is disposed in the water diversion box 121, so that the compactness of the water diversion assembly 12 can be improved, the volume of the water diversion assembly 12 can be reduced, the space occupied by the water diversion assembly 12 can be reduced, and the problem that the water diversion member 122 sprays water to the outside of the water diversion box 121 can be avoided.

Further, as shown in fig. 24 to 26, the water diversion member 122 is disposed in the water diversion box 121, the bottom of the water diversion member 122 is provided with a connecting shaft 1223, a through hole 1215 is formed at the bottom of the water diversion box 121, the water diversion assembly 12 further comprises a driving motor 1231, the body of the driving motor 1231 is disposed below the water diversion box 121, and a driving shaft 1232 of the driving motor 1231 is connected with the connecting shaft 1223 through the through hole 1215. Therefore, the direct driving of the water diversion element 122 by the driving motor 1231 can simplify the structure, reduce the volume and the cost, and save the manual operation of a user to drive the water diversion element 122 to move. In addition, the body of the driving motor 1231 is arranged outside the water diversion box 121, so that the waterproof design can be simplified, and the working reliability of the driving motor 1231 can be improved. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments, the driving motor 1231 may be provided at the top of the water diversion member 122, or inside the water diversion box 121, or the like.

As shown in fig. 19 and 25, the inner bottom wall 12262 of the water distribution box 121 has an annular bead 12161 protruding upward, and the inner ring of the annular bead 12161 forms a through hole 1215. Thus, since the annular bead 12161 has a certain height, it is possible to improve the problem that water in the water distribution box 121 overflows from the through hole 1215. Optionally, the connecting shaft 1223 is disposed through the through hole 1215, and the driving shaft 1232 is inserted into the connecting shaft 1223, so that the connection difficulty between the driving shaft 1232 and the connecting shaft 1223 can be reduced, and the assembly efficiency can be improved.

Further, as shown in fig. 19 and 25, the water distribution box 121 has a partition structure 1216 therein, the water supply chamber 1211 and the water discharge chamber 1212 are disposed on both sides of the partition structure 1216, and the partition structure 1216 includes an annular bead 12161 and two sub-partitions 12162 disposed on both radial sides of the annular bead 12161. Thus, by using the annular rib 12161 as a portion of the structure separating the water discharge chamber 1212 from the water supply chamber 1211, the occupation of the partition structure 1216 to the volume within the water distribution box 121 can be reduced, and the effective volume of the water distribution box 121 can be increased.

As shown in fig. 1 and 30 to 31, the air conditioner 100 includes: a heat exchange system 30, said heat exchange system 30 comprising heat exchange means 31 and ventilation means 32, said ventilation means 32 being arranged to induce an air flow through said heat exchange means 31 to change the temperature of the air flow and thereby regulate the indoor temperature.

That is, the water system 20 needs water for operation, for example, the water system 20 may humidify the air sent from the air conditioner 100 with water or steam to provide the air conditioner 100 with a humidification mode, and for example, the water system 20 may wash the ventilation device 32, the heat exchange device 31, or the like with water to provide the air conditioner 100 with a washing mode.

As shown in fig. 1 and 30 to 31, the air conditioner 100 includes: the recovery distribution system 10, the recovery distribution system 10 is a recovery distribution system 10 for an air conditioner 100 according to any embodiment of the present invention, and includes a recovery component 11, a water diversion component 12, and a purification component 13, where the recovery component 11 is used for recovering water flowing from the heat exchange system 30, for example, the water may be condensed water generated in the air conditioner 100 in a cooling mode or a humidifying mode, and for example, the water may be cleaning wastewater generated in a cleaning mode.

As shown in fig. 1, 30-31, the water system 20 is in communication downstream of the purification assembly 13, wherein the communication may be direct or indirect, so long as the water exiting the purification assembly 13 can be delivered to the water system 20. Therefore, the recycling component 11 sends recycled water to the water distribution component 12 for distribution through the water outlet 1111, the water distribution component 12 distributes cleaner water to the water supply cavity 1211, and then the water is sent to the purification component 13 through the water supply hole for purification treatment, and then the water can be provided for the water consumption system 20, so that the water consumption system 20 is saved, the water consumption system 20 is protected, and the working effect of the water consumption system 20 is ensured.

Moreover, the distribution assembly can distribute the dirty water recovered by the recovery assembly 11 to the drainage cavity 1212, so that the dirty water is prevented from being conveyed to the purification assembly 13, the service life of the purification assembly 13 is prevented from being influenced, and the problem that the working effect and the service life of the water system 20 are influenced due to the fact that the water is supplied to the water system 20 for reuse on the premise that the water is not sufficiently purified is avoided.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 30-31, the water usage system 20 may include a steam generator 21 and a spray assembly 22, the water outlet 1302 of the purification assembly 13 being in communication (direct or indirect communication) with the inlet 211 of the steam generator 21, the outlet 212 of the steam generator 21 being in communication (direct or indirect communication) with the spray assembly 22, the spray assembly 22 being adapted to spray toward the heat exchange system 30.

For example, when the steam generator 21 is operated, the steam generator 21 may supply water vapor to the spraying unit 22, the spraying unit 22 sprays the water vapor into the air duct 33, and after the air flow in the air duct 33 is blown into the room, the room may be humidified, so that the air conditioner 100 may have a humidification mode. And when the steam generator 21 is not operated, or is operated at low power, the steam generator 21 may supply water to the spraying assembly 22, and the spraying assembly 22 sprays the water to the heat exchanging device 31 and/or the ventilating device 32, thereby having a washing effect, so that the air conditioner 100 may have a washing mode.

Thus, according to the air conditioner 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the same water system 20 is used for humidification and cleaning, so that the design can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

In some embodiments, water system 20 assumes the first state with water diversion assembly 12 in the humidified state. For example, in the humidification mode, the condensed water flowing down from the heat exchange system 30 is basically condensed water, and at this time, the water diversion component 12 is switched to the first state, so that the condensed water recovered by the recovery component 11 is sent to the water supply cavity 1211 to be provided for the purification component 13 to be treated, and then is supplied to the water usage system 20, thereby realizing recycling of the condensed water, and protecting the purification component 13 and the water usage system 20.

In some embodiments, water usage system 20 assumes a second state in the cleaning state with water diversion assembly 12. For example, in the cleaning mode, substantially cleaning wastewater flowing down from the heat exchange system 30, when the water diversion assembly 12 is switched to the second state, the cleaning wastewater recovered by the recovery assembly 11 can be sent to the water drainage cavity 1212, and supply to the water use system 20 is avoided, so that economical efficiency is improved, and the like.

In addition, in a general and conventional mode, for example, in a cooling mode, the condensed water flowing down from the heat exchange system 30 is basically condensed water, and at this time, the water diversion assembly 12 may also take a first state, so that the condensed water recovered by the recovery assembly 11 is sent to the water supply cavity 1211 to be provided to the purification assembly 13 for treatment, and then is supplied to the water utilization system 20, thereby realizing recycling of the condensed water.

Hereinafter, an air conditioner 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner 100 may include: heat exchange system 30, heat exchange system 30 may include: a heat exchange device 31 and a ventilation device 32. For example, when the ventilation device 32 works, the air flow can be induced to flow through the heat exchange device 31, so that the air flow exchanges heat with the heat exchange device 31 to change the temperature, and the air flow with the changed temperature is blown into the environment from the air outlet area on the air conditioner 100, thereby playing a role in adjusting the environmental temperature. The path through which the air flows in the air conditioner 100 is the duct 33.

Further, the specific configurations of the heat exchange device 31 and the ventilation device 32 are not limited, and for example, in some embodiments, the heat exchange device 31 may include a heat exchanger 311, electric auxiliary heat, and the like, and the ventilation device 32 may include a through-flow wind wheel 321, a centrifugal wind wheel, an axial flow wind wheel, and the like. In connection with fig. 32, the present embodiment is described by taking the ventilation device 32 including two cross-flow wind wheels 321 as an example.

As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner 100 may include a water usage system 20, and the water usage system 20 may include: a steam generator 21 and a spray assembly 22, the steam generator 21 being connected to the spray assembly 22, the steam generator 21 being operable to convert water to steam and provide the steam to the spray assembly 22 for spraying. While the spray assembly 22 may spray water outwardly when the steam generator 21 is not in operation.

The specific configuration of the steam generator 21 and the principle of steam generation are not limited, and water may be heated to steam by electric heating, for example. In addition, the spray assembly 22 is not limited in its construction, and for example, as shown in fig. 30 and 31, the spray assembly 22 may include a nozzle 221, or include a nozzle 221 and a nozzle (not shown), or the like. Therefore, the water vapor generated by electric heating is used for humidification, so that the effect is convenient for users to perceive. Some air conditioners in the related art mostly adopt wet film humidification, however, the humidification amount of the wet film humidification is small, and the user is difficult to perceive the effect.

The air conditioner 100 of the present embodiment has a humidification mode in which the steam generator 21 is operated and the spray assembly 22 sprays steam to the air duct 33, and a purge mode in which the steam generator 21 is not operated or operated at low power and the spray assembly 22 sprays water to the heat exchange system 30 to purge the heat exchange system 30.

As shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner 100 may include a recycling and distributing system 10, and the recycling and distributing system 10 may include: a recovery assembly 11 and a water diversion assembly 12. Wherein the recovery assembly 11 is used for recovering water flowing down from the heat exchange system 30. For example, the recovery assembly 11 may collect condensed water dripping from the heat exchange system 30 when the air conditioner 100 is in a temperature-adjusting mode or a humidifying mode, and for another example, the recovery assembly 11 may be used to collect washing wastewater flowing down from the heat exchange system 30 when the air conditioner 100 is in a washing mode.

The water diversion assembly 12 communicates with the recovery assembly 11 and may classify water discharged from the recovery assembly 11, and in particular, the water diversion assembly 12 may have a water supply chamber 1211 and a water discharge chamber 1212 therein, for example, if the water recovered and discharged from the recovery assembly 11 is wash wastewater, the water diversion assembly 12 may recover the wash wastewater to the water discharge chamber 1212 to be discharged as sewage (for example, to be discharged through a sewage line 163 shown in the drawing), and if the water recovered and discharged from the recovery assembly 11 is condensed water, the water diversion assembly 12 may recover the condensed water to the water supply chamber 1211 to be reused for the water system 20.

As shown in fig. 1, the recycling and dispensing system 10 may further include a purifying assembly 13, and the purifying assembly 13 may be connected between the water supply chamber 1211 and the water system 20 to purify the water discharged from the water supply chamber 1211, thereby improving the cleanliness of the reused water, and providing the filtered water to the water system 20, thereby simplifying the structure of the water system 20 and improving the effects of humidification and cleaning.

In addition, the purification assembly 13 is disposed on the waterway between the water supply chamber 1211 and the water using system 20, compared to the waterway between the recovery assembly 11 and the water diversion assembly 12, the purification assembly 13 prevents unnecessary filtration of the washing wastewater, thereby prolonging the service life of the purification assembly 13.

In the case where the water quality is not required by the water system 20, for example, only cleaning is required, but humidification is not required, the purification degree of the condensed water is not required, and the purification unit 13 may be omitted as needed. In addition, in other embodiments, a filtering device may be disposed in the water system 20, which is not described herein.

As shown in fig. 1, the recycling and distributing system 10 may further include a water tank assembly 14, the water tank assembly 14 may be communicated between the water supply cavity and the water using system 20, the water supply cavity 1211 may feed condensed water into the water tank assembly 14 first, and when the water using system 20 is in operation, the condensed water is provided to the water using system 20 by the water tank assembly 14, so that the operation time of the water using system 20 is flexible.

Alternatively, when the recovery distribution system 10 includes both the tank assembly 14 and the purge assembly 13, the purge assembly 13 may be disposed upstream of the tank assembly 14, thereby enhancing the cleanliness of the tank assembly 14. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the purifying assembly 13 may be disposed downstream of the tank assembly 14 as needed, and will not be described herein. In addition, the water tank assembly 14 may be eliminated if desired when the water storage capacity of the water supply chamber 1211 of the water diversion assembly 12 is sufficient, or when the water system 20 is self-contained with a water storage device.

As shown in fig. 1 and 31, the recovery distribution system 10 may further include a second water pump 15, and the second water pump 15 may be communicated between the water supply chamber 1211 and the water system 20 to supply water discharged from the water supply chamber 1211 to the water system 20, providing water flow power so that water or steam can be sprayed out of the spray assembly 22. Alternatively, when the recovery dispensing system 10 includes both the water tank assembly 14 and the second water pump 15, the second water pump 15 may be connected between the water tank assembly 14 and the water system 20 such that the second water pump 15 is also capable of providing flow power of water from the water tank second water pump 15 to the stationary water tank 141.

For example, in the humidification mode, the steam generator 21 is operated to heat water into steam by electric heating, the steam is ejected into the duct 33 through the nozzle 221, and the air flow mixed with the steam in the duct 33 is blown into the room by the operation of the cross wind wheel 321, thereby achieving the humidification effect. Specifically, in the natural state, for example, in the humidification mode, the temperature adjustment mode, etc., the condensed water formed in the air conditioner 100 has less soluble particulate matter, and is recovered by the recovery unit 11 and distributed to the water supply chamber 1211 of the water diversion unit 12, and then a small amount of insoluble particulate matter mixed in the condensed water can be removed by the purification unit 13, i.e., can be used as a high-quality humidification water source for the water supply system 20.

For example, in the cleaning mode, the steam generator 21 is not started, or the electric heating power of the steam generator 21 is small, and the water can be sprayed to the heat exchange system 30 through the spray pipe 221 under the pressure of the second water pump 15, so as to perform a cleaning function on the heat exchange system 30. Specifically, in the cleaning mode, the water sprayed from the nozzle 221 may wash away dust in the heat exchange system 30, such as the through-flow wind wheel 321 and/or the heat exchange device 31, and at this time, the cleaning wastewater flowing into the recovery assembly 11 contains more insoluble particulate matters, has low utility value, can be collected into the drainage cavity 1212 through the water diversion assembly 12, and is directly discharged outdoors as wastewater.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 1 and 30-32, the heat exchange device 31 includes a heat exchanger 311, the heat exchanger 311 includes a heat exchange body, and an upper bracket 312 and a lower bracket 313 disposed on upper and lower sides of the heat exchange body, an axial direction of the through-flow wind wheel 321 extends vertically and is located on one side of the heat exchanger 311, the recovery assembly 11 may include a water receiving tray 111, the water receiving tray 111 is disposed below the heat exchanger 311 and the through-flow wind wheel 321, so as to be used for receiving condensed water or cleaning wastewater flowing down from the heat exchanger 311 and the through-flow wind wheel 321, and the water receiving tray 111 has a water outlet 1111 for draining water to the water diversion assembly 12.

Further, referring to fig. 30-32, the nozzle 221 may extend vertically and the nozzle 221 is disposed between the through-flow wind wheel 321 and the heat exchanger 311, and the nozzle 221 has a plurality of nozzles 2211 disposed at intervals vertically for spraying steam or water. Alternatively, the nozzle 221 may be fixed or may be rotatably disposed about the central axis of the nozzle 221.

For example, when the nozzle 221 is fixedly disposed, in a specific example, referring to fig. 33 to 36, the upper bracket 312 of the heat exchanger 311 is provided with an upper through hole 3121 and a nozzle mounting portion 3122, the nozzle mounting portion 3122 is provided with a limit rib 31221 and/or a limit groove 31222, the upper end of the nozzle 221 passes through the upper through hole 3121, an oblong connecting piece 222 is disposed above the upper bracket 312, one end of the length of the connecting piece 222 is connected with the upper end of the nozzle 221, and the other end of the length of the connecting piece 222 is in limit fit with the nozzle mounting portion 3122 and is fixedly connected (for example, provided with a screw hole 223 and connected by a screw), so that the fixing direction of the nozzle 221 is unique, and the effect of fixing the upper end of the nozzle 221 and limiting the rotation of the nozzle 221 is achieved. The upper end of the nozzle 221 may be a closed structure, or the upper end of the nozzle 221 may be further blocked by a connecting piece 222.

For example, when the nozzle 221 is fixedly disposed, in a specific example, referring to fig. 35 and 37-38, the lower bracket 313 is provided with a lower through hole 3131, the water pan 111 is provided with a limiting boss 1112, a jack 11121 is formed in the limiting boss 1112, a chamfer 11122 is formed at an upper end of the jack 11121, and a lower end of the nozzle 221 passes through the lower through hole 3131 and is downwardly inserted into the jack 11121, so that the assembly is convenient.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 39-40, the water pan 111 may further have a water pan mounting portion 1114 thereon for mounting and securing the water pan 111 to itself.

In some embodiments, in conjunction with fig. 31 and 40, the water diversion assembly 12 may be mounted on the bottom of the water tray 111, at which point the bottom of the water tray 111 may have a diverter mounting section 1115 for mounting the water diversion assembly 12.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 31 and 40, the second water pump 15 may be installed at the bottom of the water tray 111, and at this time, the bottom of the water tray 111 may have a second water pump installation portion 1116 for installing the second water pump 15.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 41-42, the water tank assembly 14 may include a fixed water tank 141 and a movable water tank 142, the fixed water tank 141 being connected between the purification assembly 13 and the water system 20 such that water discharged from the purification assembly 13 enters the fixed water tank 141, and the fixed water tank 141 supplies water to the water system 20. The movable water tank 142 may receive water from the outside to replenish the fixed water tank 141 when the amount of the condensed water is insufficient.

In some specific examples, referring to fig. 42-44, the top of the fixed water tank 141 may be provided with a ventilation port 1411 and a water inlet port 1412, and referring to fig. 45, the ventilation port 1411 is connected to a ventilation receiving hole 1113 on the water pan 111 through a ventilation pipe 145 to perform ventilation, and the water inlet port 1412 is connected to the purification assembly 13 so that the purification assembly 13 may inject condensed water into the fixed water tank 141. The bottom of the fixed water tank 141 is provided with a water supply port 1414, the water supply port 1414 is connected with the water system 20 through a water supply line 161, and the second water pump 15 is provided on the water supply line 161 to pump water in the fixed water tank 141 to the water system 20 through the water supply port 1414.

In some specific examples, referring to fig. 43 and 44, a water storage cavity 141a and a buffer water tank 141b are provided in the fixed water tank 141, the water storage cavity 141a and the movable water tank 142 are adapted to communicate through the buffer water tank 141b, the water source of the movable water tank 142 is from external water, the water source of the water storage cavity 141a is from condensed water injected from the water inlet joint 1412 on one hand, and the other part is from water replenishing of the movable water tank 142 through the buffer water tank 141 b.

Optionally, the water inlet 1412, the ventilation 1411 and the water supply 1414 are all communicated with the water storage cavity 141a, and a water guide 146 connected to the water inlet 1412 may be disposed in the water storage cavity 141 a.

For example, when the movable water tank 142 is installed on the fixed water tank 141, the boss 1415 in the buffer water tank 141b pushes up the one-way valve 1421 on the movable water tank 142 so that the movable water tank 142 communicates with the buffer water tank 141b, and the movable water tank 142 can fill water into the buffer water tank 141 b. A water through hole 1413 is formed between the buffer water tank 141b and the water storage cavity 141a, and a float switch 144 is arranged in the water storage cavity 141a for controlling the switch of the water through hole 1413.

For example, as shown in fig. 43, when the water in the water storage chamber 141a reaches the first liquid level, the first liquid level is lower than the liquid level in the buffer water tank 141b, the float switch 144 can float to block the water through hole 1413, and the water storage chamber 141a and the buffer water tank 141b are two independent spaces and are not communicated with each other.

It will be appreciated that when the float switch 144 assumes a float off condition, if condensed water continues to be injected into the water storage chamber 141a through the water inlet 1412, the liquid level in the water storage chamber 141a exceeds the first liquid level, and at this time, the float switch 144 still assumes a float off condition.

When there is water in the water storage chamber 141a, if the second water pump 15 is turned on, the water in the water storage chamber 141a may be discharged from the water supply port 1414.

For example, as shown in fig. 44, when the liquid level in the water storage chamber 141a is reduced to a second liquid level (the second liquid level is lower than the first liquid level and lower than the liquid level of the buffer water tank 141b, which may or may not be zero), the liquid level is insufficient to float the float switch 144, and the float switch 144 assumes a falling open state in which the water opening 1413 is opened by falling, at this time, since the water storage chamber 141a is in ventilation communication with the outside through the ventilation interface 1411, the difference between the liquid level of the buffer water tank 141b and the second liquid level acts, so that the buffer water tank 141b automatically supplements water to the water storage chamber 141a until the liquid level in the water storage chamber 141a is raised again to the first liquid level, and the float switch 144 resumes the floating closed state. This can realize the effect of preferentially using the condensed water in the water storage chamber 141a and minimizing the use of the external water of the movable water tank 142.

Further, by providing the float switch 144 and the buffer tank 141b, the problem of overflow of the water storage chamber 141a due to continuous water injection of the movable water tank 142 into the water storage chamber 141a can be avoided. When the water storage device is used, a user can take the movable water tank 142 to be filled with water, then the movable water tank 142 is installed at a fixed position on the cache water tank 141b, and if the cache water tank 141b is provided with a space, the water in the movable water tank 142 can slowly flow to the cache water tank 141b and is filled with the cache water tank 141b. Meanwhile, if the liquid level in the water storage chamber 141a is insufficient, the float switch 144 assumes a falling open state, and a part of water in the buffer water tank 141b may enter the water storage chamber 141a under the effect of the liquid level balance.

Therefore, the water tank assembly 14 can achieve the effect of preferentially using the condensed water collected in the fixed water tank 141 and then using the external water of the movable water tank 142, thereby being more beneficial to collecting and utilizing the condensed water, reducing the times of supplementing water to the movable water tank 142, reducing the labor force of users and improving the convenience of use.

The specific structure of the float switch 144 is not limited, for example, referring to fig. 43 and 46, the float switch 144 may include a switch body, the switch body is in a lever structure and rotatable around a staple 1443, one end of the lever of the switch body is provided with a float 1441 for realizing floating and falling according to water level change in the water storage cavity 141a, and the other end of the lever of the switch body is provided with a silica gel sleeve 1442 for switching the water through hole 1413.

The specific configuration of the check valve 1421 is not limited, and for example, referring to fig. 43 and 47, the check valve 1421 may include: a gasket 14211, a valve housing 14212, a stopper 14213, a spring 14214, a stem 14215, etc., the valve housing 14212 may be attached to the housing of the traveling tank 142 at a valve body mount 1424. A clasp 1423 may be provided on the mobile water tank 142 to facilitate the user's access to the mobile water tank 142.

In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner 100 may have a fresh air module 50, and the air conditioner 100 may have a fresh air outlet frame 40 for outputting air from the fresh air module 50.

For example, in connection with fig. 41, the water tank assembly 14 may be mounted to the fresh air outlet frame 40 to fully utilize space. For example, the fixed water tank 141 may have a mounting structure 1416 such as a connection hole, and the fixed water tank 141 may be mounted to the fresh air outlet frame 40 by a screw penetrating the connection hole.

For example, referring to fig. 31 and 41, the fresh air outlet frame 40 may be used to mount the purification assembly 13, where the purification assembly 13 has a water inlet port and a water outlet port, the water outlet port is connected to the water inlet port 1412 on the fixed water tank 141, and the water inlet port is connected to the water supply port 1213 on the water diversion assembly 12 through the water outlet pipeline 162. For example, referring to fig. 48 and 49, the fresh air outlet frame 40 may be provided with a purification assembly mounting buckle 41 for mounting and fixing the purification assembly 13.

For example, in connection with fig. 31 and 48, the fresh air outlet frame 40 may be used to mount the steam generator 21, the water supply line 161 is connected to the inlet 211 of the steam generator, and the outlet of the steam generator 21 is connected to the nozzle 221 through the connection line 23. The number of the spray pipes 221 may be one or more, and when the number of the spray pipes 221 is plural, the outlets of the steam generator 21 may be respectively and correspondingly connected to the plurality of spray pipes 221 through the plurality of connection pipes 23, so that the spray efficiency may be improved by using the plurality of spray pipes 221.

For example, referring to fig. 41 and 42, a liquid level sensor mounting buckle 42 may be provided on the fresh air outlet frame 40 for mounting the fixed liquid level sensor 17, and the liquid level sensor 17 may be used for detecting the water level in the movable water tank 142, so as to prompt the user to supplement water into the movable water tank 142. For example, in connection with fig. 44, a water level float 1422 may be provided within the mobile water tank 142, and the level sensor 17 may cooperate with the water level float 1422 to detect the water level within the mobile water tank 142.

For example, referring to fig. 41 and 48, a hose mounting buckle 43 may be provided on the fresh air outlet frame 40, and for example, the water supply line 161 may be fixedly limited by the hose mounting buckle 43.

Next, the operation state of the air conditioner 100 of the above embodiment is briefly described.

In the humidification mode of the air conditioner 100, the second water pump 15 pumps water from the fixed water tank 141 into the steam generator 21, the steam generator 21 heats the water into steam, the steam enters the spray pipe 221 through the connecting pipeline 23, and is sprayed into the air duct 33 through the spray pipe 221, and the steam is sent into the room along with the air flow in the air duct 33, so that the effect of humidifying the indoor air is achieved. In the air conditioner 100 in the cooling mode or the humidifying mode, the water receiving tray 111 easily collects condensed water, and the condensed water path may be as follows: from the heat exchanger 311, to the drip tray 111, to the water supply chamber 1211 of the water diversion assembly 12, to the purification assembly 13, and to the fixed water tank 141, to achieve recycling of the condensed water.

In the air conditioner 100 in the washing mode, the second water pump 15 pumps water from the fixed water tank 141 into the steam generator 21, the steam generator 21 is operated with low power or is not turned on, and the water in the steam generator 21 is fed into the spray pipe 221 through the connection pipe 23 under the pressure of the second water pump 15 to be sprayed into the heat exchange system 30 through the spray pipe 221, so that the water washing and cleaning can be performed. In the cleaning mode of the air conditioner 100, the water pan 111 may collect the cleaning wastewater, and the path of the cleaning wastewater may be as follows: from heat exchanger 311, cross flow wind wheel 321, air duct 33, to water pan 111, to drainage cavity 1212 of water diversion assembly 12, and outdoors.

Thus, by utilizing the water distribution assembly 12, relatively dirty water such as wash waste water and generally cleaner condensate water can be separated so that the condensate water can be fully collected and utilized. In general, the content of soluble particles in tap water is 140ppm, which is much higher than the content of soluble particles in condensed water by 10ppm, and the condensed water is used for humidification, so that the steam generator 21 can be protected, the damage of the soluble particles in tap water to the steam generator 21 is reduced, and the service life of the steam generator 21 is prolonged.

In short, by the combined use of the water diversion component 12, the purification component 13 and the water tank component 14 and the design of the water diversion component 12 and the water tank component 14, the condensed water can be efficiently collected and utilized, the steam generator 21 is effectively protected, and the frequency of adding water to the movable water tank 142 by a user is reduced. The water system 20 can realize the effects of humidification and cleaning integration and low scheme cost.
