The water tank 2 is arranged below the hygroscopic evaporation mechanism 1. In addition to containing water, the water tank 2 is also used to collect the electrolyzed water flowing down from the hygroscopic evaporation mechanism 1. ; The micro-electrolysis mechanism 5 is connected between the water tank 2 and the spraying mechanism 3. Specifically, the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5 has an inlet and an outlet, and the water tank 2 and the spraying mechanism 3 are connected through a connecting pipe 7 installed on the inlet and the outlet. The micro-electrolysis The mechanism 5 inputs the water in the water tank to its inlet through the connecting pipe 7, and then performs micro-electrolytic sterilization of the water. The water is output from its outlet to the spraying mechanism 3 through the connecting pipe 7. The spray head structure 3 flows, evaporated sprayed onto the absorbent means 1, the electrolytic water circulated in each of the respective circulating means constitutes water. The controller is electrically connected to the fan 4 and the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5. When receiving the air conditioning command, the controller controls the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5 and the fan 4 to work to send air out through the moisture absorption and evaporation mechanism.

During the working process of each mechanism of the above air conditioning device, when the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5 is not turned on, because of contact with the outside air or water, the mechanism itself is prone to breed bacteria. For example, the water in the water tank works for a long time. Time, it is easy to breed bacteria. It is transported by water pipe 7, micro-electrolysis mechanism 5, spraying mechanism 3 and sprayed onto wet evaporation mechanism 1. It is very easy to breed bacteria on the water flow path of the above mechanism, causing secondary pollution of these mechanisms, and Fans send these bacteria-bred water vapor to the external environment, which further affects the air quality in the environment. After the controller controls the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5 and the fan 4 to be turned on according to the air-conditioning instruction, the controller performs micro-electrolytic sterilization of the water in the water flow path, so it plays a role of sterilizing the components and sends out the electrolyzed water vapor.

Further, the controller may also receive a sterilization instruction. At this time, only the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5 is controlled to be turned on separately to sterilize the passage through which the electrolyzed water of the air-conditioning device flows. That is, the fan 4 does not work at this time, and it will not send air to the outside. The electrolyzed water passes through the water tank 2, the micro-electrolysis mechanism 5, the spraying mechanism 3, and the moisture absorption and evaporation mechanism 1 in the water flow channel to form a circulating water flow channel. The mechanisms in these water flow channels perform sterilization, avoiding secondary pollution of these mechanisms.

Because the relative distance between the anode 53 and the cathode tube 52 is relatively close, and the DC power loaded is not high, the water input from the water inlet 55 can be slightly electrolyzed to generate acid ions. It follows the water flow and outputs the sterilizing effect after being output from the water outlet interface 54.

The photosensitive detection circuit 83 detects the fluorescence brightness generated when the reaction tank 82 performs a reaction. From the principle of ATP fluorescence detection, it is known that by generating a chemical reaction of water in the reaction tank 82, ATP is extracted from the water, and the amount of ATP is reflected by the fluorescence intensity emitted. Since there is a clear correlation between the amount of ATP and the number of microorganisms in the water, By detecting the fluorescence brightness that characterizes the amount of ATP, the amount of microorganisms in the water can be determined, that is, the cleanliness of the water. The photosensitive detection circuit 83 is based on a circuit composed of photosensitive devices such as photoresistors, which can detect the brightness of light and output different electrical signals such as different Voltage value output.
