Detailed Description

The present invention first provides an air treatment device, fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of an air treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an air treatment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and dotted arrows in fig. 2 indicate an approximate flow path of an air flow.

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, 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 rotating mechanism 40 rotatably disposed in the water storage tank 31 are disposed in the air duct 14, so that the water in the water storage tank 31 is brought upwards to an air flow path by rotation of the rotating mechanism 40, thereby performing water washing purification and/or humidification on the air flow in the air flow path. Specifically, under the rotation of the rotating mechanism 40, the water brought up to the flow path of the air flow contacts with the air flow, solid pollutants such as particles and lint in the air flow and water-soluble harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene can be dissolved in the water, and meanwhile, the air flow can take away part of the water, so that the air flow is washed, purified and/or humidified by the water.

Further, the fan 21 and the rotating mechanism 40 are driven by the same driving mechanism 50 to rotate synchronously. That is, the fan 21 and the rotating mechanism 40 share one driving mechanism 50, which not only makes full use of the driving force output by the driving mechanism 50, but also reduces the number of driving mechanisms 50, simplifies the structure of the air processing device 1, and reduces the cost.

In some embodiments, the driving mechanism 50 may include a motor disposed outside the air duct 14, and the rotating shaft of the fan 21 and the rotating shaft of the rotating mechanism 40 are coaxially connected to an output shaft of the motor. Therefore, an intermediate transmission mechanism is omitted, so that the layout among the fan 21, the motor and the rotating mechanism 40 is more compact, and the volume of the air treatment device 1 is further reduced.

In some embodiments, the blower 21 is above the storage tank 31 and the motor is between the blower 21 and the storage tank 31. The fan 21 is located downstream of the water storage tank 31 in the flow path of the air flow in the air duct 14. The fan 21 is arranged above the water storage tank 31, so that a motor coaxially connected with the fan 21 and the rotating mechanism 40 in the water storage tank 31 is conveniently arranged between the fan 21 and the water storage tank 31, the fan 21 can be arranged at the downstream of the water storage tank 31, the rotating mechanism 40 is also convenient for taking out water in the water storage tank 31 upwards, and the structural layout rationality of the air treatment device 1 is improved.

In some embodiments, the fan 21 may be a centrifugal fan, an axial fan or a cross-flow fan with a vertically extending rotational axis, and the extending path of the air duct 14 at the fan 21 matches the orientation of the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet of the fan 21. That is, the present application can improve the flexibility of the selection of the type of the fan 21 by the design of the duct 14.

Specifically, the air outlet 13 may be opened at the top of the housing 10, and the indoor air inlet 11 and the outdoor air inlet 12 may be both opened at the middle of the housing 10. The air duct 14 of the housing 10 is bent and extended from the indoor air inlet 11 and the outdoor air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13.

When the fan 21 is a centrifugal fan, the direction of its airflow inlet and airflow outlet are perpendicular. Along the flowing direction of the airflow in the housing 10, the air duct 14 may include a first section extending horizontally, a second section extending by bending the first section upwards, a third section extending by bending the second section horizontally, and a fourth section extending by bending the third section upwards, which are connected in sequence. The fan 21 may be at the intersection of the third and fourth sections with its airflow outlet facing upwards and its airflow inlet facing towards the third section.

When the fan 21 is an axial flow fan, the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet extend in the axial direction of the axial flow fan. The structure of the air duct 14 may be similar to that of the centrifugal fan 21, except that a certain gap is provided between the bottom of the axial flow fan and the air duct wall of the air duct 14, so that air flows into the axial flow fan through the gap and flows out upward.

When the fan 21 is an axial flow fan, the airflow inlet and the airflow outlet are perpendicular to the axial direction of the cross flow fan. At this time, the structure of the air duct 14 may be similar to that of the centrifugal fan 21, in which a certain buffer section is left between the air flow inlet of the cross flow fan facing the third section of the air duct 14 and the air flow outlet of the cross flow fan and the air duct wall of the air duct 14, and the air flow sent out by the cross flow fan flows to the fourth section through the buffer section.

In some embodiments, the rotating mechanism 40 may be a drum, and the drum may include a rotating shaft 411 extending vertically and a plurality of rotating plates 412 penetrating the rotating shaft 411 and arranged at intervals on the rotating shaft 411, each rotating plate 412 being disposed to be inclined with respect to a horizontal plane. That is, a gap extending obliquely upward is formed between each adjacent two of the rotating plates 412.

Further, the drum is arranged to cause the water in the water storage tank 31 to rise along the gap between two adjacent rotating plates 412 into the airflow flow path above the water surface of the water storage tank 31 by the rotating plates 412 when rotating, so as to water wash purify and/or humidify the airflow in the airflow flow path.

Specifically, when the drum rotates, the rotating plates 412 can stir the water in the water storage tank, and since the rotating plates 412 are inclined, the water can be promoted to rise along the gap between two adjacent rotating plates 412 to the airflow flow path above the water surface of the water storage tank 31 so as to be contacted with the airflow in the airflow flow path, solid pollutants such as particles and lint in the airflow and water-soluble harmful gases such as formaldehyde and benzene can be dissolved in the water, and meanwhile, the airflow can take away part of the moisture so as to be washed, purified and/or humidified. More importantly, this application sets up axis of rotation 411 vertically to set up the slope of a plurality of rotor plates 412 that will wear to establish on axis of rotation 411 and can make the cylinder form a plurality of clearances of closely arranging from top to bottom, in order to ensure to rise along a plurality of clearances to the water in the air current flow path of storage water tank 31 surface of water top evenly distribute from top to bottom, thereby can carry out even washing purification and/or humidification to the air current in the air current flow path.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural view of a rotating plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, each rotating plate 412 is perforated with honeycomb holes 4121 to allow some water to remain in the honeycomb holes 4121 during the water rising along the gap between two adjacent rotating plates 412. The honeycomb holes 4121 of at least part of the rotating plate 412 above the water surface of the water storage tank 31 are located in the airflow flow path to allow the airflow to blow down the water held in the honeycomb holes 4121 when the airflow is headed toward the rotating plate 412, thereby water-washing the airflow for purification and/or humidification by the water held in the honeycomb holes 4121.

The honeycomb holes 4121 have a strong ability to hold water and hold a large amount of water. Therefore, the amount of water carried over the entire rotating plate 412 can be increased to ensure the contact time between the air flow and the water, and it can be seen that the air flow is washed and purified and/or humidified by the water in the honeycomb holes 4121, and the effect is better. Moreover, the design of the honeycomb holes 4121 can also greatly reduce the resistance of the rotating plate 412 to the airflow, thereby reducing the effect on the airflow rate.

In some embodiments, the air inlet is located radially outside of the drum such that the air flow entering the air duct through the air inlet flows head-on toward the rotating plate 412 of the drum and passes through the honeycomb holes 4121 of the rotating plate 412. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the air inlet includes an indoor air inlet 11 and an outdoor air inlet 12, and both the indoor air inlet 11 and the outdoor air inlet 12 are located at the radial outer side of the drum. Therefore, the design of the air duct is simplified, the airflow flow path between the air inlet and the roller is shortened, and the airflow flow resistance is reduced.

In some embodiments, the plurality of rotating plates 412 are arranged in parallel, and the spacing between any two adjacent rotating plates 412 is the same. Therefore, gaps with the same size can be formed between any two adjacent rotating plates 412, and the size of each gap is equal from top to bottom, so that the same amount of water rising through the gaps between any two adjacent rotating plates 412 can be ensured when the roller rotates, the water flow resistance is reduced, and the uniformity of water distribution on the rotating plates 412 is improved.

In some embodiments, the plurality of rotating plates 412 are disposed in parallel, and the acute angle between the rotating plates 412 and the horizontal plane is any value in the range of 30-80 °. For example, the acute angle between the rotating plate 412 and the horizontal plane may be 30 °, 40 °, 50 °, 60 °, 70 °, or 80 °. If the acute angle formed between the rotating plate 412 and the horizontal plane is too large, for example, greater than 80 °, the inclination of the rotating plate 412 is too small, which results in too small an area of the rotating plate 412 above the water surface for contacting with the air flow, and thus the efficiency of water washing and purifying the air flow is low and the effect is poor. If the acute angle formed between the rotating plates 412 and the horizontal plane is too small, for example, less than 30 °, the inclination of the rotating plates 412 is large, which causes the difficulty of water rising along the gap between two adjacent rotating plates 412 to be large, and the washing and purifying effect is also not good.

Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an air treatment device according to another embodiment of the present invention. In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 4, the rotating mechanism 40 may be a wave wheel disk disposed at the bottom of the water storage tank 31. The wave wheel disc is arranged to rotate in a controlled horizontal plane to throw water within the water storage tank 31 upwardly 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. These embodiments abandon the complicated structural design among the prior art, directly adopt the impeller dish can be with the water in the storage water tank 31 send to the air current flow path in, the structure is very simple, and the cost is lower.

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, 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.

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.

The application also provides an air conditioner. Fig. 5 is a schematic structural view of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The air outlet 13 of the air treatment device 1 is connected to the induced air port 301 to introduce the air flow treated by the air treatment device 1 into the cabinet 200. 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. In these embodiments, the air inducing opening 301 may be disposed at the bottom of the jet device 300, and the air outlet 13 of the air processing device 1 may be disposed at the top thereof, so as to facilitate connection between the air inducing opening 301 and the air outlet 13.

Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the induced air opening 301 may also be a normal air inlet of the air conditioner 100, and the air flow purified and/or humidified by the air treatment device 1 is sent into the casing 200 through the induced air opening 301, and sent out after being heat-exchanged by the heat exchanging device of the air conditioner 100.
