As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides a humidifying module mainly including a module case 100, a wet curtain 200, and the like, and the wet curtain 200 is disposed inside the module case 100 and can be used to humidify an air stream flowing through the module case 100.

In some embodiments, as shown in connection with fig. 3, the module housing 100 of the humidifying module has an overall outer contour that is approximately rectangular, and the interior of the module housing 100 is hollow, so as to be a space for accommodating other components such as the wet curtain 200. The opposite sides of the module case 100 are constructed in an open form in which one side of the opening 130 serves as an air flow inlet and the other side of the opening 130 serves as an air flow outlet, and a path between the two openings 130 in the module case 100 serves as a humidifying air duct in which the wet curtain 200 is positioned so that water vapor exchange with the wet curtain 200 is performed during the air flow through the humidifying air duct.

In an embodiment, the shape of the opening 130 on two sides of the module housing 100 is a rectangular shape adapted to the outline of the module housing 100, and the long side of the opening 130 corresponds to the long side of the module housing 100, and the short side corresponds to the short side of the module housing 100, so that the opening 130 can form a larger area ratio on the corresponding side of the module housing 100, thereby ensuring the ventilation area of the humidification module.

Optionally, the ratio of the length of the long side of the opening 130 to the long side of the module case 100 is not less than 2/3; still alternatively, the ratio of the length between the short side of the opening 130 and the short side of the module case 100 is not less than 2/3.

In some embodiments, the edges and corners of the module housing 100 are smoothed to avoid scratches by the edges or corners during handling of the humidification module. Optionally, the edges between adjacent sides of the module housing 100 are configured as arc transitions and/or the corners of the module housing 100 are configured as chamfer structures.

In some alternative embodiments, the module case 100 includes a top cover 110 and a lower case 120, and the top cover 110 is disposed at an upper side of the lower case 120 and detachably connected to the two.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the overall outer contour of the lower housing 120 has a U-shaped structure, and two openings 130 of the module housing 100 as air inlet and outlet openings are respectively formed on two opposite sides of the lower housing 120. The inner space of the lower case 120 is a receiving chamber for receiving the wet curtain 200. And, the top edge of the lower case 120 is constructed in the form of an opening, which is a passage through which the wet curtain 200 is taken out of the receiving chamber.

In some embodiments, the lower housing 120 defines a wet curtain assembly in the receiving cavity that extends upwardly from the bottom of the lower housing 120 to the top edge opening. When the wet curtain 200 is taken out of the lower case 120, the wet curtain 200 is slidingly separated from the bottom to top along the wet curtain assembling portion so that the wet curtain 200 does not interfere with other components of the humidifying module, thereby facilitating the disassembling operation of the wet curtain 200.

Alternatively, as shown in connection with fig. 5, the wet curtain assembly part includes assembly flanges 121 formed inside the lower case 120 and corresponding to both lateral sides of the wet curtain 200, and each assembly flange 121 extends upward from the bottom of the lower case 120 to the top edge opening. Here, the wet curtain 200 is disposed between the two assembly flanges 121, and the distance between the two assembly flanges 121 is slightly greater than the lateral length of the wet curtain 200, so that the wet curtain 200 can be laterally limited without affecting the vertical movement in/out of the wet curtain 200, and the dislocation movement of the wet curtain 200 is prevented.

In an embodiment, each assembly rib 121 includes a first stop 1211 and a second stop 1212, wherein the first stop 1211 is formed to extend from the front side opening of the lower housing 120 toward the rear side, the second stop 1212 is formed to extend from the rear side opening of the lower housing 120 toward the front side, and the first stop 1211 and the second stop 1212 are spaced apart.

Optionally, the distance between the second blocking strips 1212 of the two assembly ribs 121 is slightly smaller than the distance between the two lateral sides of the wet curtain 200, so that after the wet curtain 200 is placed in the wet curtain assembly portion, the back side of the wet curtain 200 and the second blocking strips 1212 form a stop, so that the rear side surfaces of the wet curtain 200 and the second blocking strips 1212 corresponding to each other are limited, and the wet curtain 200 is prevented from being too close to the rear side surfaces.

Optionally, a space is formed between each assembly rib 121 and two lateral sides of the corresponding lower housing 120, and the space can be used as a space for accommodating other components of the humidification module; for example, the space on one side is used as the receiving space for the water conduit 330 of the pumping assembly 300, and since the space also extends upward from the bottom of the lower housing 120 to the top opening, the water conduit 330 can be arranged to have a length between the bottom of the lower housing 120 and the top opening.

In some embodiments, the assembly rib 121 and the lower housing 120 are integrally formed to ensure the connection stability between the assembly rib 121 and the lower housing 120.

In some embodiments, a positioning seat structure is further formed at the bottom of the lower housing 120 for limiting the bottom of the wet curtain 200 after the wet curtain 200 is placed in the wet curtain assembly.

The positioning seat comprises at least 2 positioning protruding blocks 122, wherein each positioning protruding block 122 is configured into an L shape and extends upwards from the bottom of the lower shell 120; after the wet curtain 200 is placed in the wet curtain assembly part, the positioning protruding blocks 122 can stop the edges and corners of the bottom of the wet curtain 200 and the outer sides of the two sides of the edges and corners, so that the movable range of the bottom of the wet curtain 200 can be limited.

Optionally, the number of the positioning protrusions 122 is 2, and the 2 positioning protrusions 122 are respectively arranged corresponding to the positions of two edges of the diagonal relationship of the wet curtain 200; still alternatively, the number of the positioning projections 122 is 4, and the positioning projections are respectively disposed corresponding to the four corner positions of the wet curtain 200. Thereby simultaneously realizing the limit of the two longitudinal and transverse sides of the wet curtain 200 by using the positioning convex blocks 122.

In some alternative embodiments, the lower housing 120 has a housing lower portion (or bottom) formed with a water receiving tank 123, and the water receiving tank 123 may be used to receive a portion of the humidifying water.

As shown in fig. 6, the water receiving groove 123 has a groove-like structure with an opened upper side, and the cross-sectional area of the water receiving groove 123 is larger than that of other parts of the lower case 120, so that the water receiving groove 123 can receive more humidifying water.

In some alternative embodiments, the humidification module further includes a sump cover plate 124 that covers an opening of the sump 123 to shield the liquid level exposed to the sump 123. The water tank cover plate 124 provided in this embodiment not only can reduce the contact area between the humidifying water and the outside air in the water tank 123, thereby reducing the evaporation capacity of the humidifying water at the opening, but also can reduce the contamination of the humidifying water in the water tank 123 caused by external dust and other pollutants, so as to ensure the cleanliness of the humidifying water.

In some embodiments, the water tank cover 124 and the water tank 123 are rotatably engaged, so that the water tank cover 124 can be opened and closed relative to the water tank 123, so as to facilitate the user to observe the water quality of the water tank 123. Specifically, a rotary shaft is respectively formed at two longitudinal end portions of the water tank cover plate 124, and correspondingly, a shaft hole is respectively formed at the corresponding position of the water tank 123, and the rotary shaft of the water tank cover plate 124 is correspondingly inserted into the shaft hole of the water tank 123 and forms a running fit; thus, the tub cover 124 in the embodiment can open the opening of the water receiving tub 123 in an upside-down manner.

In the previous embodiments, the top cover 110 is disposed corresponding to the top edge of the lower housing 120. The top cover 110 is used for blocking the top edge opening of the lower housing 120 when the humidifying module is used normally, so as to prevent the wet curtain 200 and other components from being separated from the top edge opening, and also has the functions of dust prevention and ash prevention; when it is desired to disassemble the wet curtain 200, the top cover 110 can be separated from the lower housing 120 such that the top opening is exposed, thereby facilitating removal of the wet curtain 200 from the top opening.

Here, the top cover 110 and the lower case 120 are detachably connected by means of a snap-in connection, a screw-in connection, or the like, to which the present utility model is not limited.

Specifically, the locking protrusion 111 is disposed on an inner sidewall of a lateral side of the top cover 110 and extends toward the lower housing 120, wherein the top cover 110 is disposed above the lower housing 120, and thus the locking protrusion 111 extends downward; and, the free end of the catching convex 111 is constructed in a hook-shaped structure bent toward the outside, by which the catching convex 111 can be caught in the catching groove 125.

The clamping groove 125 is disposed on an inner sidewall of a lateral side surface of the lower housing 120, and is formed on the inner sidewall in a recessed manner. After the clamping protrusion 111 and the clamping groove 125 form a clamping fit, the top cover 110 and the lower housing 120 can be limited in the up-down direction, so as to play a role in limiting the top cover 110 from being separated from the lower housing 120.

In still other alternative embodiments, the abutting side edge of the top cover 110 is formed with an elastically deformable plate 112, and the clamping protrusion 111 or the clamping groove 125 is disposed on the elastically deformable plate 112; the elastic deformation plate 112 can form a movable space for the clamping protrusion 111 and the clamping groove 125 to be separated from clamping fit when deformed under the action of external force.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8 and 8a, the elastic deformation plates 112 are located on two lateral sides of the top cover 110, and the elastic deformation plates 112 and the top cover 110 are in an integral structure, that is, the elastic deformation plates 112 are part of the component plate surface of the top cover 110. In the embodiment, two elastic wire grooves 113 are symmetrically formed on two sides of a center line of a lateral side of the top cover 110, each elastic wire groove 113 is formed by extending from a butt joint side edge of the top cover 110 back to the lower shell 120, the lengths of the two elastic wire grooves 113 are the same, a plate surface area between the two elastic wire grooves 113 is an elastic deformation plate 112, the elastic wire grooves 113 can provide an elastic space for the elastic deformation plate 112, so that the elastic deformation plate 112 can deform along the plate surface thickness direction under the action of external force, and further a movable space for the clamping protrusion 111 and the clamping groove 125 to separate from clamping fit is formed.

In some alternative embodiments, the wet curtain 200 is disposed in the receiving cavity of the module housing 100 and covers at least a portion of the airway surface of the humidification airway to humidify the airflow flowing through the humidification airway.

Referring to fig. 9, the wet curtain 200 has a block structure as a whole, and the wet curtain 200 can be inserted into the receiving chamber in an embedded manner through the top cover 110 side; the side surfaces of the wet curtain 200 corresponding to the openings 130 at both sides of the module case 100 are formed with a plurality of ventilation holes densely arranged, through which air flows can pass into/out of the wet curtain 200, and moisture exchange is performed inside the wet curtain 200, so that the moisture content of the air flowing through the wet curtain 200 is increased.

Optionally, the arrangement area of the ventilation holes on each side of the wet curtain 200 is not smaller than the open area of the module housing 100 on the corresponding side, so that most of the air flow passing through the wet curtain 200 can contact the wet curtain to ensure the humidifying effect on the air flow.

In some alternative embodiments, as shown in connection with fig. 9a, the top of the wet curtain 200 is configured as a water receiving tank 210 structure, the pump outlet of the driving pump 320 of the pump water assembly 300 is directed to the water receiving tank 210, and the water receiving tank 210 can be used to hold a portion of the humidifying water pumped by the driving pump 320. And, a plurality of water seepage holes 220 for supplying water to the wet curtain 200 are formed at the bottom of the water receiving tank 210 at intervals in the longitudinal direction, and the humidifying water in the water receiving tank 210 can leak to the wet curtain 200 through the water seepage holes 220, respectively; here, the bottom of the water receiving groove 210 corresponds to the lateral direction of the wet curtain 200 in the longitudinal direction, so that the water penetration range of the water penetration holes 220 can cover the lateral direction of the wet curtain 200, and the water supplementing effect of the wet curtain 200 is ensured.

In some alternative embodiments, the wet curtain 200 is made of a water absorbent material, and the moisture can spontaneously diffuse within at least a portion of the interior of the wet curtain 200. Optionally, the water-absorbing material is a sponge, a polymer composite, or the like.

And, the bottom edge height of the wet curtain 200 is not higher than the edge height of the Rong Shuicao 123,123 in this embodiment, that is, the bottom edge of the wet curtain 200 is below the edge of the water containing groove 123 from the front view of the humidifying module; the edge of the water containing tank 123 in this embodiment refers to the open edge thereof, which corresponds to the maximum water containing level of Rong Shuicao 123; by setting the bottom height of the wet curtain 200 to be not higher than the Rong Shuicao groove edge height, the bottom of the wet curtain 200 can be immersed by the liquid surface in the water containing groove 123, thereby enabling the wet curtain 200 to spontaneously absorb water.

As shown in fig. 2, the humidifying module of the present utility model further includes a water pumping assembly 300 for supplying water to the wet curtain 200, and the water pumping assembly 300 can pump the humidifying water in the water containing tank 123 to the top of the wet curtain 200, so that the humidifying water flows through most areas of the wet curtain 200 in a manner of spraying water or sprinkling water from top to bottom under the action of gravity, thus the humidifying water can be distributed more uniformly on the wet curtain 200, and the situations of too little local water content and low humidifying effect of the wet curtain 200 are avoided.

In some embodiments, the water pumping assembly 300 is also disposed in the accommodating cavity and located between the top of the wet curtain 200 and the top cover 110, so that in the state that the top cover 110 and the lower housing 120 are detached from each other, the water pumping assembly 300 can be taken and placed through the top cover 110, thereby facilitating maintenance and other operations of the water pumping assembly 300.
