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, and an air inlet and an air outlet 13 are disposed on the housing 10. 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.

In particular, the air treatment device 1 further comprises a water storage tank 30 for containing water, a water washing device 40 rotatably arranged in the water storage tank 30, and a liquid level adjusting device 50 arranged in the water storage tank 30. Further, the air treatment device 1 may further include a fan 70 disposed in the housing 10 for driving the airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet 13.

The water storage tank 30 is disposed in the housing 10 and located on an airflow path between the air inlet and the air outlet 13, so that the water in the water storage tank 30 can be used to perform water washing, purification, humidification and other treatments on the airflow flowing through the air outlet.

The water wash device 40 is configured to carry water out of the water storage tank 30 when rotated, thereby water washing purifying and/or humidifying the air flow passing through the water wash device 40. Specifically, when the air flow passes through the water washing device 40, the air flow contacts with the water carried out by the water washing device 40, and pollutants such as dust, particles, lint, water-soluble harmful gas and the like in the air flow are left in the water, so that the purpose of purifying the air flow is achieved. In addition, the air flow can carry away some moisture after contacting with water, thereby realizing the purpose of humidifying the air flow.

The liquid level adjusting device 50 is disposed in the water storage tank 30 and is used for adjusting the water level in the water storage tank 30 so as to adjust the height of the water washing device 40 immersed in water. From this, when the water consumption in storage water tank 30 leads to the water level to reduce, accessible liquid level adjusting device 50 adjusts the water level in storage water tank 30, makes the water level in the storage water tank 30 rise to increase the height of washing device 40 submergence in aqueous, thereby increased the water yield that washing device 40 took out of, ensured that air treatment device 1 keeps better washing purifying effect and/or humidification effect for a long time, avoided adding water frequently in storage water tank 30, promoted user's use and experienced. When the water level in the water storage tank 30 is high, the water level in the water storage tank 30 can be reduced through the liquid level adjusting device 50, so that the problem that the water washing purification effect and/or the humidifying effect are/is influenced due to the fact that the contact area of the air flow is too small as the washing device 40 is immersed in water to be too high is avoided.

Fig. 3 is a schematic structural diagram of a water storage tank according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of a water storage tank after a water washing device is hidden according to an embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the water washing device 40 includes a rotating shaft 41 extending along a horizontal direction and a plurality of rotating discs 42 penetrating the rotating shaft 41 and arranged at intervals, and the air flow in the housing 10 flows to the water washing device 40 along a radial direction of the water washing device 40 and flows through the water washing device 40 through a gap between two adjacent rotating discs 42 to wash and purify and/or humidify the air flow by water films formed by water attached to the rotating discs 42.

Specifically, the portion of the rotary disk 42 submerged in water comes into contact with water, and as the rotary disk 42 rotates, the water adheres to the surface of the rotary disk 42 and is carried out and forms a water film. When the air flows through the gap between two adjacent rotating disks 42, the air contacts with the water films on the two disk surfaces of the two adjacent rotating disks 42 which are arranged oppositely, so that the air is washed, purified and/or humidified by water. The rotatable disk 42 provides a reliable, large contact area for the air stream with the water and the water is distributed relatively evenly over the rotatable disk 42, thereby ensuring that the water is in sufficiently effective contact with the air stream. Moreover, the plurality of rotating discs 42 are arranged at intervals, so that resistance to air flow can be reduced, the air flow flowing through the water washing device 40 can be ensured to be contacted with water, and the air flow purification effect and the air flow purification efficiency are improved. With the continuous rotation of the water washing device 40, the water attached to the rotary disk 42 is continuously renewed to maintain a good washing purification capacity for a long time.

Further, a plurality of slits may be formed on the disc surface of the rotary disc 42 to improve the water holding capacity of the rotary disc 42 and the amount of the carried-out water, thereby improving the purification efficiency and purification effect.

Furthermore, a plurality of honeycomb holes can be formed in the rotating disc 42, and the water quantity retained by the honeycomb holes is large, so that the water quantity brought out of the rotating disc 42 can be increased, and the air flow purification effect and the air flow purification efficiency are improved.

Further, the water washing apparatus 40 further includes a driving mechanism 43 for driving the rotation shaft 41 to rotate. The drive mechanism 43 may include a motor and gear assembly. The motor may be provided on the housing for outputting the driving force. The gear assembly is connected between the motor and the rotating shaft 41 for transmitting a driving force output from the motor to the rotating shaft 41, thereby causing the rotating shaft to rotate the rotating disk 42. Both ends of the rotating shaft 41 may be rotatably supported at both side walls of the water storage tank 30 through a bearing, respectively.

In some embodiments, the level adjustment device 50 is configured to adjust the water level within the storage tank 30 by changing the volume of the tank itself submerged in water. It will be appreciated that as the volume of the liquid level regulating device 50 submerged in water increases, the water level of the storage tank 30 rises; when the volume of the liquid level adjusting device 50 submerged in water decreases, the water level of the water storage tank 30 decreases.

Further, the volume of the liquid level adjusting device 50 submerged in water is set to a size such that the water level in the water storage tank 30 maintains the same height as the axis of the rotating shaft 41 until the volume of the liquid level adjusting device 50 submerged in water reaches the maximum or minimum. When the water level in the storage tank 30 is maintained at the same height as the axial center of the rotating shaft 41, the submerged portion and the exposed portion of the rotating disk 42 are exactly half of the rotating disk 42, and at this time, the area of the water film formed on the rotating disk 42 is the largest, and the area of the rotating disk 42 in the flow path of the air current is half of the area of the rotating disk 42, which is relatively large, so that the area of the water film formed on the rotating disk 42, which can be contacted with the air current, is the largest, which is about half of the area of the rotating disk.

It will be appreciated that when the water level in the storage tank 30 is higher than the axis of the rotating shaft 41, most of the rotating disk 42 is submerged in the water, and although the contact area of the rotating disk 42 with the water is the largest, the area of the rotating disk 42 in the flow path of the air current is less than half of the area of the rotating disk, and thus the area of the water film formed is rather small. When the water level in the water storage tank 30 is lower than the axis of the rotating shaft 41, most of the rotating disk 42 is exposed to the airflow path, and only a small part of the rotating disk is in contact with water, the area of the water film formed on the rotating disk 42 is obviously smaller than one half of the area of the rotating disk, and is also smaller.

When the volume of the liquid level adjusting device 50 immersed in water reaches the maximum or minimum, and the adjustment cannot be continued, the water in the water storage tank 30 cannot be continuously adjusted by the liquid level adjusting device 50 even if the water is higher than the axis of the rotating shaft 41 or lower than the axis of the rotating shaft 41. Therefore, the maximum water film area can be kept on the rotating disc 42 for a long time by adjusting the volume of the liquid level adjusting device 50 immersed in water, and the water washing purification effect and/or the humidifying effect are further improved.

In some embodiments, the fluid level adjustment device 50 may include an air bladder 51 and an inflator 52. An air bag 51 is disposed within the water storage tank 30, and an inflator 52 is connected to the air bag 51 for controllably inflating the air bag 51 to increase the volume of the air bag 51 or to cause the air bag 51 to deflate to decrease the volume of the air bag 51. Specifically, the air bag 51 and the inflator 52 may be directly connected in a sealing manner or may be connected in a sealing manner through an air tube. When the volume of the air bag 51 reaches the maximum, the volume of the liquid level regulation device 50 submerged in the water reaches the maximum, referring to the state shown in fig. 4. When the volume of the air bag 51 reaches the minimum, referring to the state shown in fig. 3, the volume of the liquid level regulation device 50 submerged in water reaches the minimum.

Further, the bladder 51 may be disposed at the bottom of the tank 30 to ensure maximum submergence area of the bladder 51 in the water within the tank 30. The inflator 52 is provided inside the sidewall of the storage tank 30 to avoid structural interference or interference with the water washing device 40 or other components inside the storage tank 30.

In some embodiments, the bladder 51 is configured to extend in the direction of the rotational axis 41 of the water wash apparatus 40 when inflated therein and to contract in the direction of the rotational axis 41 of the water wash apparatus 40 when deflated outwardly. That is, the air bag 51 may be an elongated telescopic air bag to accommodate the structure of the washing apparatus 40. The expansion direction of the air bag 51 is parallel to the rotating shaft 41, so that the air bag 51 is prevented from being structurally interfered with the washing device 40 in the expansion process.

In some embodiments, the air treatment device 1 further comprises a water level detection device 60, and the water level detection device 60 is used for detecting the water level in the water storage tank 30 in real time so as to adjust the liquid level adjusting device 50 according to the water level in the water storage tank 30.

Specifically, the water level detection device 60 may be a water level sensor, a magnetic float switch, or the like.

In some embodiments, the air treatment device 1 further comprises an ultraviolet light generating device 34, the ultraviolet light generating device 34 being disposed within the water storage tank 30 for emitting ultraviolet light into the water storage tank 30 to sterilize the water within the water storage tank 30. 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 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, this can easily lead to icing within the storage tank 30 when the air comes into contact with water. To this end, in some embodiments, the air treatment device 1 further comprises a water tank heating device 33, the water tank heating device 33 being disposed within the water storage tank 30 for heating the water within the water storage tank 30 to raise the temperature of the water, thereby causing at least a portion of the heat to be transferred from the water to the air stream when the water comes into contact with the air stream, thereby raising the temperature of the air stream. 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 means 33 may be disposed at the bottom of the storage tank 30 to directly contact with water after the storage tank 30 is filled with water, thereby transferring 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 30.

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

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.
