Detailed Description

The utility model discloses at first provide an air treatment device, figure 1 is according to the utility model discloses an air treatment device's schematic structure chart, figure 2 is according to the utility model discloses an embodiment's air treatment device's schematic cross-sectional view.

Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the air treatment device 1 of the present invention includes a housing 10. The housing 10 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet 13. The air outlet 13 is used for communicating with the indoor. In a specific embodiment, the number of the air inlets can be one, and the air inlets can be communicated with the indoor space or the outdoor space. In another specific embodiment, the number of the air intakes may also be two or more, for example, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the number of the air intakes is two, and it includes an indoor air intake 11 for communicating with the indoor space and an outdoor air intake 12 for communicating with the outdoor space to introduce fresh air. The indoor air inlet 11 and/or the outdoor air inlet 12 can be selectively opened or closed by a damper, so as to selectively allow indoor return air and/or outdoor fresh air to enter the air processing device 1, and the air is processed by the air processing device 1 and then sent out.

It should be noted that the indoor space in the embodiment of the present invention means the indoor environment space where the air processing device 1 is located, and the outdoor space in the embodiment of the present invention means the outdoor environment space.

An air duct 14 communicating the air inlet and the air outlet 13 is formed in the housing 10, and a fan 21 for driving an air flow to flow from the air inlet to the air outlet 13, a water storage tank 31 for containing water, and a pulsator 41 arranged at the bottom of the water storage tank 31 are arranged in the air duct 14. The wave wheel disc 41 is arranged to rotate in a controlled horizontal plane to throw water within the water storage tank 31 up into the airflow flow path above the water storage tank 31 to water wash purify and/or humidify the airflow in the airflow flow path.

Specifically, when the air flow in the air flow path contacts with water, pollutants such as lint, impurities, water-soluble harmful gas and the like in the air flow are dissolved in the water, and the air flow can carry some moisture after contacting with the water, so that the purposes of water washing, purification and humidification of the air flow are achieved. The air treatment device 1 of the application abandons the complex structural design in the prior art, directly adopts the impeller disc 41 to send the water in the water storage tank 31 to the air current flow path, and the structure is very simple, and the cost is lower.

In some embodiments, the air treatment device 1 further comprises a motor 42 for driving the rotation of the wave wheel disc 41 in a horizontal plane. Motor 42 may be disposed outside of storage tank 31 and below storage tank 31. The connection structure between the pulsator tray 41 and the motor 42 is simplified.

In some embodiments, a mist barrier 22 is also disposed within the air chute 14 for dehumidifying the airflow passing therethrough. On the airflow path from the air inlet to the air outlet 13, the mist barrier 22 is located downstream of the water storage tank 31. Therefore, when high humidity is not needed indoors, the air flow flowing out of the water storage tank 31 can be dehumidified through the fog separation net 22, so that the air flow flowing into the indoor room is not only washed and purified, but also the humidity is low, and the whole humidity of the indoor air cannot be influenced.

Further, the air treatment device 1 further comprises a driving mechanism 23, and the driving mechanism 23 is connected with the mist barrier 22 and is used for controllably adjusting the opening and closing state and/or the opening degree of the mist barrier 22. When the mist barrier 22 is in the open state, the mist barrier 22 blocks at least part of the flow cross section of the air duct, so that at least part of the air flow in the air duct flows through the mist barrier 22. Accordingly, when the mist barrier 22 is in the closed state, the mist barrier 22 does not block the flow cross section of the air duct, so that any air flow in the air duct does not pass through the mist barrier 22. The larger the opening of the mist barrier 22 is, the more the flow cross section of the air duct is blocked. When the mist barrier 22 is in the fully open state, the mist barrier 22 blocks all flow-through sections of the air duct, and all air flow in the air duct flows through the mist barrier 22.

That is, the driving mechanism 23 can adjust the position of the mist barrier 22 in the air duct to completely block, partially block or not block the flow cross section of the air duct, so as to dehumidify all or part of the air flow passing through the air duct or not to dehumidify any air flow passing through the air duct. In other words, the humidity of the air flow sent out by the air treatment device 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the opening and closing and/or the opening degree of the mist barrier net 22, so that diversified practical use requirements of users are met.

In some embodiments, a duct heating device 24 is also provided within the duct 14 for heating the airflow passing therethrough. On the air flow path from the air inlet to the air outlet 13, the air duct heating device 24 is located downstream of the water storage tank 31. Therefore, the air flow can be heated through the air duct heating device 24, so that the temperature of the air flow is improved, and the heating is assisted.

The applicant has recognised that when the air temperature is low, particularly when fresh air is introduced into the room at an outdoor temperature below zero, it is likely that the air will cause freezing in the storage tank 31 when it comes into contact with water. To this end, in some embodiments, a water tank heating device 33 for heating water in the water storage tank 31 may be disposed in the water storage tank 31 to perform water washing purification and/or humidification on the air flow by using the heated water. When the heated water contacts with the airflow, the heat can be transferred to the airflow, and the temperature of the airflow is further increased. That is to say, this application develops the heating of air current into the heating of water in a new way for purification, humidification, the intensification of air current all go on simultaneously when air current and water contact, and the realization of three kinds of functions does not influence each other, can not only carry out humidification and washing purification to the air effectively, can compensate air temperature, auxiliary heating again.

Further, the tank heating device 33 may be disposed at the bottom of the storage tank 31 to directly contact with water after the storage tank 31 is filled with water, so as to transfer heat to the water, in such a manner that the heat transfer efficiency is high and the heating speed is high. At the same time, it is ensured that water can be heated efficiently by direct contact when there is a small amount of water in the water storage tank 31.

Specifically, the tank heating device 33 may be a heating rod, a heating wire, or the like.

In some embodiments, an ultraviolet light generating device 34 for emitting ultraviolet light into the water storage tank 31 to sterilize the water in the water storage tank 31 is further provided in the water storage tank 31. Thus, ultraviolet rays are emitted into the water storage tank 31 by the ultraviolet ray generator 34 in real time or periodically, and the water in the water storage tank 31 can be effectively sterilized for a long period of time by utilizing the sterilization capability of the ultraviolet rays, thereby suppressing the propagation of bacteria in the water storage tank 31 and avoiding the problem of consumption or replacement of consumables.

In addition, the ultraviolet rays also have the function of degrading residual chlorine, so that a user can be allowed to directly add tap water into the water storage tank 31, and the problems of high use cost and troublesome use caused by the fact that the conventional device like water washing or humidifying needs to use pure water are solved.

Further, the ultraviolet generating device 34 may be disposed in the water storage tank 31. Thus, the ultraviolet rays emitted from the ultraviolet ray generator 34 can be transmitted to the water storage tank 31 through a short path, and the sterilization effect is improved with less ultraviolet ray loss.

Further, the ultraviolet ray generating device 34 may be disposed at the bottom inside the water storage tank 31 to be immersed in water after the water is contained in the water storage tank 31. The ultraviolet ray generating means 34 is preferably disposed at the bottom of the water storage tank 31, and the ultraviolet ray generating means 34 can be immersed in water even if there is only a small amount of water in the water storage tank 31. Therefore, the ultraviolet generating device 34 can be ensured to be immersed in the water for a long time, the phenomenon that the ultraviolet rays emitted by the ultraviolet generating device 34 are irradiated from the water surface to the water to cause the loss of the ultraviolet rays due to the reflection action of the light on the water surface because of the ultraviolet generating device 34 arranged above the water surface can be avoided, and the sterilization efficiency and the sterilization effect of the ultraviolet generating device 34 are improved.

In some embodiments, when the air inlet includes an indoor air inlet 11 for communicating with the indoor space and an outdoor air inlet 12 for communicating with the outdoor space, the air processing apparatus 1 further includes an air inlet control mechanism 15 for controlling opening and closing of the indoor air inlet 11 and/or the outdoor air inlet 12. Specifically, the air intake control mechanism 15 can be an air door, and has a simple structure and low cost.

Further, the air duct 14 may include an indoor air intake duct 141 having one end communicating with the indoor air intake opening 11 and an outdoor air intake duct 142 having one end communicating with the outdoor air intake opening 12, and the other end of the indoor air intake duct 141 and the other end of the outdoor air intake duct 142 are joined together. The air inlet control mechanism 15 is an electrically controlled damper disposed at the intersection of the indoor air inlet duct 141 and the outdoor air inlet duct 142, so as to conduct one of the indoor air inlet duct 141 and the outdoor air inlet duct 142 by using the electrically controlled damper. That is, the air inlet control mechanism 15 is disposed at the intersection of the indoor air inlet duct 141 and the outdoor air inlet duct 142, and a damper structure can be used to control the on/off of the indoor air inlet duct 141 and the outdoor air inlet duct 142. The outdoor air inlet duct 142 is conducted when the indoor air inlet duct 141 is shielded by the air inlet control mechanism 15, and the indoor air inlet duct 141 is conducted when the outdoor air inlet duct 142 is shielded by the air inlet control mechanism 15.

In some embodiments, a filter 16 is disposed in the air duct 14 between the junction of the indoor air intake duct 141 and the outdoor air intake duct 142 and the water storage tank 31 in the air flow path. Thus, the indoor air flow flowing to the water storage tank 31 through the indoor air intake duct 141 and the outdoor fresh air flowing to the water storage tank 31 through the outdoor air intake duct 142 can be filtered by the filter device 16.

The application also provides an air conditioner. Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Therefore, the air flows introduced into the cabinet 200 through the air treatment device 1 are all air flows which are washed, purified and/or humidified, so that the quality of indoor air is improved, and the humidity of the indoor air is improved.

In some embodiments, the air conditioner 100 further includes a jet device 300, and the jet device 300 is configured to controllably cause the airflow outside the air conditioner to flow into the air conditioner and be discharged through the jet outlet thereof, and mix the airflow discharged through the jet outlet with the heat exchange airflow discharged through the heat exchange airflow outlet of the air conditioner 100, so as to avoid the air conditioner 100 from being too cold or too hot, and improve the softness of the air and the comfort experience of the user. That is, the jet device 300 is used to introduce natural air into the air conditioner 100, which is not heat-exchanged by the heat exchanging device of the air conditioner 100, so as to moderate the outlet air temperature of the air conditioner 100.

Further, the induced draft opening 301 may be opened on the jet device 300 of the air conditioner 100 and serve as an air flow inlet of the jet device 300. Therefore, the air flow processed by the air processing device 1 can directly flow out through the jet device 300 and is mixed with the heat exchange air flow and then is sent into the room, the air flow directly sent into the room is washed, purified and/or humidified through the air processing device 1, a corresponding purifying device and/or a humidifying device do not need to be arranged in the air conditioner 100, and the structure of the air conditioner 100 body is simplified.

Further, the air conditioner 100 may be a cabinet air conditioner indoor unit, and the jet device 300 may extend vertically as a whole so that the jet air outlet thereof matches the shape of the air outlet of the cabinet air conditioner indoor unit.
