下面详细描述本申请的实施例，所述实施例的示例在附图中示出，其中自始至终相同或类似的标号表示相同或类似的元件或具有相同或类似功能的元件。下面通过参考附图描述的实施例是示例性的，仅用于解释本申请，而不能理解为对本申请的限制。
下面参考附图描述根据本申请实施例的空气调节装置100，包括：室内机1、蒸汽发生装置2和蒸汽输送管路3。其中，室内机1可以为空调室内机、风管机或者中央空调的位于室内的部分。
如图1和图2所示，室内机1具有出风口11(参照图8)，蒸汽发生装置2具有蒸汽出口224，蒸汽输送管路3的一端与蒸汽出口224连通，蒸汽发生装置2利用蒸汽的压强驱动蒸汽流动且依次通过蒸汽出口224、蒸汽输送管路3流动至室内机1。
可以理解的是，蒸汽发生装置2工作时可以产生蒸汽，随着产生的蒸汽的体积的增大，蒸汽发生装置2内的蒸汽压强也会增高，当蒸汽发生装置2内的蒸汽压强大于蒸汽 出口224处的压强时，蒸汽发生装置2的蒸汽可以依次流经蒸汽出口224和蒸汽输送管路3输送至室内机1内，并通过室内机1的出风口11输送至室内空间。
由此利用蒸汽的压强便可以驱动蒸汽流动，从而可以省略相关技术中的风机，进而可以减少空气调节装置100的工作噪音，提升用户使用的舒适性。此外，还可以减少空气调节装置100的整机重量和制造成本。
还有，本申请实施例中的蒸汽输送管路3上不再需要设置控制阀，利用蒸汽发生装置2内的蒸汽压强便可以实现蒸汽的流动和截止，从而可以降低制造成本，简化蒸汽发生装置2的结构。
例如，室内机1还具有进风口12，室内的气流通过进风口12进入室内机1的内部进行换热后，从出风口11输送至室内空间。
根据本申请实施例的空气调节装置100，蒸汽发生装置2工作时可以产生蒸汽，随着产生的蒸汽的体积的增大，蒸汽发生装置2内的蒸汽压强也会增高，当蒸汽发生装置2内的蒸汽压强大于蒸汽出口224处的压强时，蒸汽发生装置2的蒸汽可以依次流经蒸汽出口224和蒸汽输送管路3输送至室内机1内，并随着室内机1内的气流一起输送至室内空间，由此利用蒸汽的压强便可以驱动蒸汽流动，从而可以减少空气调节装置100的工作噪音，进而提升用户使用的舒适性。此外，还可以减少空气调节装置100的整机重量和制造成本。
例如，在本申请的一些示例中，室内机1设置有三个，蒸汽发生装置2设置有三个，蒸汽输送管路3也设置有三个，三个蒸汽输送管路3与三个蒸汽发生装置2一一对应，三个蒸汽发生装置2与三个室内机1一一对应。
再如，在本申请的另一些示例中，如图3所示，室内机1设置有多个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有对应地多条，蒸汽发生装置1设置有一个，蒸汽发生装置2上设置有一个蒸汽出口224，多条蒸汽输送管路3均与蒸汽出口224连通。
又如，在本申请的另一些示例中，如图4和图5所示，室内机1设置有多个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有多条，多条蒸汽输送管路3与多个室内机1一一对应，蒸汽发生装置1设置有一个，蒸汽发生装置1设置有多个蒸汽出口224，多个蒸汽出口224与多条蒸汽输送管路3一一对应。
根据本申请的一些实施例，如图2所示，蒸汽发生装置2内具有多个蒸汽腔室221，每个蒸汽腔室221具有至少一个蒸汽出口224，每个蒸汽出口224与至少一条蒸汽输送管路3连通。
可以理解的是，每个蒸汽腔室221可以具有一个蒸汽出口224、两个蒸汽出口224 或者更多个蒸汽出口224。每个蒸汽出口224可以与一条蒸汽输送管路3连通、两条蒸汽输送管路3连通或者更多个蒸汽输送管路3连通。由此，可以减少单个蒸汽腔室221的工作负荷，提升单个蒸汽腔室221的工作性能，从而提升蒸汽发生装置2的工作效率。
例如，室内机1设置有三个，蒸汽腔室221设置有三个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有三条，每个蒸汽腔室221具有一个蒸汽出口224，每个蒸汽出口224与一条蒸汽输送管路3连通，三条蒸汽输送管路3与三个室内机1一一对应配合。
再如，室内机1设置有一个，蒸汽腔室221设置有三个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有三条，每个蒸汽腔室221具有一个蒸汽出口224，每个蒸汽出口224与一条蒸汽输送管路3连通，三条蒸汽输送管路3均与同一个室内机1配合。
又如，室内机1设置有四个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有四条，蒸汽腔室221设置有两个，每个蒸汽腔室221具有一个蒸汽出口224，每个蒸汽出口224与两条蒸汽输送管路3连通，四条蒸汽输送管路3与四个室内机1一一对应配合。
又如，室内机1设置有四个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有四条，蒸汽腔室221设置有两个，每个蒸汽腔室221具有两个蒸汽出口224，每个蒸汽出口224与一条蒸汽输送管路3连通，四条蒸汽输送管路3与四个室内机1一一对应配合。
在本申请的一些实施例中，蒸汽发生装置2安装在厨房或者卫生间。可以理解的是，蒸汽发生装置2需要及时补充水，水源往往设置在厨房和卫生间，将蒸汽发生装置2安装在厨房或者卫生间，使得蒸汽发生装置2可以更靠近水源，从而可以降低补水难度，提升蒸汽发生装置2工作的可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中，蒸汽发生装置2可以吊装在天花板上或者吊装在墙壁上。由此，可以减少蒸汽发生装置2占用的空间，同时还可以降低蒸汽发生装置2安装的难度，有利于提升蒸汽发生装置2的安装效率。需要说明的是，本申请中的蒸汽发生装置2可以单独出售和安装。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，蒸汽发生装置2包括：工作水箱22和电加热器25，工作水箱22具有加热腔222，加热腔222与蒸汽腔室221连通，蒸汽腔室221位于加热腔222内，或者蒸汽腔室221位于加热腔222外，电加热器25设于加热腔222内。
其中，电加热器25具有加热功率稳定的优点，可以避免加热产生的蒸汽量的急剧变化(急剧增多或者急剧减少)，使用电加热器25具有平缓调节湿度的优点，从而可以提升用户使用的舒适性。
可以理解的是，电加热器25对水箱内的水具有加热作用，水在高温下会蒸发产生蒸 汽，这部分蒸汽可以汇集在蒸汽腔室221内，当蒸汽腔室221内汇集的蒸汽压强大于蒸汽出口224处的压强时，蒸汽腔室221内的蒸汽便可以在蒸汽压力的作用下，依次流经蒸汽出口224和蒸汽输送管路3，然后输送至室内机1内，并随着室内机1内的气流一起输送至室内空间。
加热腔222不仅是用于盛放待加热水的场所，同时加热腔222还是电加热器25加热水的反应场所。而蒸汽腔室221不仅蒸汽的汇集场所，同时也是蒸汽积攒压力的场所，通过设置加热腔222和蒸汽腔室221，使得蒸汽压强可以快速的提升至工作压强，从而可以提升空气调节装置100的工作性能。
例如，在本申请的一些示例中，工作水箱22设置有两个，电加热器25设置有两个，两个电加热器25与两个工作水箱22一一对应。
具体地，蒸汽出口224设在工作水箱22上，蒸汽出口224与工作水箱22内的蒸汽腔室221连通。
在本申请的一些实施例中，电加热器25为PTC(Positive Temperature Coefficient，热敏电阻)。PTC是一种典型具有温度敏感性的半导体电阻，通过设置PTC，可以保证电加热器25的加热功率，进一步提升蒸汽的产生速率，从而减少蒸汽发生装置2的响应时间。此外，PTC相对其他类型的电加热器25而言，PTC的安全性非常高，即使干烧也不易导致起火等情况。
具体地，PTC的实际功率是可调的，实际工作时，可以根据需要控制PTC的功率。此外，PTC对温度的敏感性较高，当工作水箱22内的水不足或者已经消耗完毕时，可以通过PTC的温度及时获知。
具体地，PTC设置有多个，多个PTC间隔设置。多个PTC可以进一步提升蒸汽的产生速率，进一步减少蒸汽发生装置2的响应时间。多个PTC可以在工作水箱22的高度方向间隔开，由此，可以根据多个PTC的工作温度，判断工作水箱22内的水位高度。
在本申请的一些实施例中，电加热器25为多个。多个电加热器25可以进一步提升蒸汽的产生速率，进一步减少蒸汽发生装置2的响应时间。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，工作水箱22具有排水口225。可以理解是，蒸汽发生装置2长期运行过程中，工作水箱22内部的水被电加热器25长期加热蒸发成蒸汽。由于蒸汽很难带走水中的氯离子、钙离子等杂质，长期累积下这些杂质浓度会越来越高，不仅会腐蚀工作水箱22，也会腐蚀工作水箱22内其他检测元件，影响蒸汽发生装置2运行的可靠性。水中带入的杂质容易在工作水箱22内结垢，垢层越厚清除越困难。另外，工作水箱22内蒸汽排出时难免会裹携带有杂质的水雾，当水中 杂质含量过高时，喷出的水雾也会影响人们的健康。由此，需要对工作水箱22定期清洗，通过设置排水口225，清洗后的污水可以通过排水口225排出工作水箱22，从而可以降低提升工作水箱22洁净度。
此外，当工作水箱22需要检修或者发生突发情况，需要将工作水箱22内的水排出时，也可以通过排水口225将工作水箱22内水排出。具体地，排水口225设在工作水箱22的底部，排水口225可以通过排水管与水槽或者卫浴设备相连，工作水箱22排出的水可以利用重力自动流入水槽或者便池中，排水口225处还设置有一个排水阀23。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，空气调节装置100(参照图1)还包括：补水水箱26和连通管27，补水水箱26与水源连通，连通管27的一端与补水水箱26连通，连通管27的另一端与工作水箱22连通。补水水箱26可以用于及时向工作水箱22输送补充水，通过设置补水水箱26还可以避免因临时停水造成工作水箱22无法补充水的问题，由此，当发生短时间的停水时，工作水箱22仍然可以继续工作，从而可以提升空气调节装置100工作的可靠性和安全性。
例如，在本申请的一些示例中，补水水箱26设置有一个，工作水箱22设置有多个，多个工作水箱22分别通过连通管27与补水水箱26连通。
再如，在本申请的一些示例中，补水水箱26设置有多个，工作水箱22设置有多个，多个补水水箱26与多个工作水箱22一一对应配合。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，连通管27为U型管。可以理解的是，补水水箱26与工作水箱22通过U型管连通后，补水水箱26内的液面高度与工作水箱22的液面高度是持平的，当工作水箱22内的液面高度较低时，补水水箱26内的液面高度也相对较低，当工作水箱22内的液面高度较高时，补水水箱26内的液面高度也相对较高。由此，通过控制补水水箱26内的液面高度，便可以将工作水箱22内的液面高度控制在合适的范围内。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，U型管上设有单向阀28，以使流体仅能从补水水箱26流向工作水箱22。由此，可以避免工作水箱22内的水在高压蒸汽的作用下回流至补水水箱26内，同时还可以避免工作水箱22内的蒸汽回流到补水水箱26内，从而可以保证工作水箱22内的蒸汽的流动方向的单一性。需要说明的是，这里的单向阀28能使流体仅能从补水水箱26流向工作水箱22，同时还可以避免工作水箱22内的蒸汽回流至补水水箱26内。
需要说明的是，为保证蒸汽发生装置2工作的安全性，可以设定仅在工作水箱22内无蒸汽产生的情况下，补水水箱26才可以向工作水箱22输送补充水。或者，当工作 水箱22内的气压与补水水箱26内的气压相同时，补水水箱26向工作水箱22输送补充水。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，补水水箱26具有浮球阀261，用以控制补水水箱26与水源之间连通或断开。可以理解的是，当补水水箱26内的液面高度低于预设高度时，浮球阀261可以控制水源与补水水箱26连通，由此可以向补水水箱26内补充水；当补水水箱26内的液面高度达到预设高度时，浮球阀261控制水源与补水水箱26断开。由此，通过设置浮球阀261，可以在补水水箱26缺水的情况下，及时将补水水箱26与水源接通，当补水水箱26不缺水的情况下，可以及时将补水水箱26与水源断开。
可以理解的是，本申请实施例的空气调节装置100在工作时，蒸汽发生装置2内的电加热装置可以加热工作水箱22内的水并产生蒸汽，当工作水箱22内的蒸汽压强高于蒸汽出口224处的压强时，在蒸汽压力的作用下，工作水箱22内的高压蒸汽可以依次流经蒸汽出口224、蒸汽输送管路3，然后被输送至室内机1内，并随着室内机1内的气流一起输送至室内空间。
其中，当工作水箱22内的水量较少时，补水水箱26可以通过连通管27向工作水箱22内补充水，而当补水水箱26内的液位高度低于设定高度时，浮球阀261可以控制补水水箱26与水源接通，从而向补水水箱26内补充水。具体地，补水水箱26可以通过进水管与水龙头相连，在补水水箱26需要加水时，水龙头打开。
在本申请的一些实施例中，补水水箱26与厨房或者卫生间的水源接通，其中水源可以是自来水也可以是经过净化后的水。由此，可以降低补水水箱26的安装的难度，同时可以降低补水水箱26与水源之间的距离，具有方便和实用的优点。
在本申请的一些实施例中，补水水箱26可以包括水箱本体和进水阀，水箱本体的外壁一体地设有安装座，水箱本体上设有入水口，进水阀安装至安装座，进水阀与入水口相连。
具体而言，在将进水阀安装至水箱本体时，进水阀与安装座配合，可实现对进水阀的可靠固定，有利于提高进水阀工作的可靠性，同时，通过使得安装座与进水阀一体成型，有利于保证水箱本体和安装座之间的结构强度，并且方便成型、制造简单，而且省去了多余的装配件以及连接工序，有利于提高补水水箱26的装配效率。
在本申请的一些实施例中，补水水箱26还包括检测装置，检测装置设在水箱本体内，水箱本体具有溢水口，检测装置被构造成在水箱本体内的水位高于预设水位时发出溢水信号，检测装置发出溢水信号时进水阀关闭。可以理解的是，检测装置与进水阀之间有 信号的传递，当检测装置有溢水信号输出时进水阀关闭，从而可保证补水水箱26的溢水量不至于过大，有利于提高补水水箱26工作的可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图1和图2所示，蒸汽出口224与蒸汽输送管路3一一对应。可以理解的是，当蒸汽出口224设置有多个时，蒸汽输送管路3也设置有多条，由此，不仅便于多条蒸汽输送管路3与多个蒸汽出口224连接和安装的难度，同时还可以降低检修和后期维护的难度，节省了安装和后期检修的时间，提升了安装和检修的效率。
例如，蒸汽出口224设置有三个，蒸汽输送管路3设置有三条，三个蒸汽出口224与三条蒸汽输送管路3一一对应。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，工作水箱22具有气压调节口223，气压调节口223与加热腔222连通。蒸汽发生装置2的蒸汽出口224与蒸汽输送管路3连通，蒸汽输送管路3(参照图1和图2)可能会存在一些弯折段，蒸汽输送管路3长时间工作后，这些弯折段内容易积攒冷却水，冷却水会阻碍蒸汽的流动，同时还会造成蒸汽输送管路3和工作水箱22内的气压过大。通过在工作水箱22上设置气压节口，可以定期或者在需要的时候将蒸汽输送管路3内的气压过大的蒸汽或者冷却液释放出来，从而可以提升蒸汽输送的顺畅性。再者，还可以平衡工作水箱22与补水水箱26之间的压力，保证补水水箱26可以及时向工作水箱22中补充水源。
需要说明的是，当工作水箱22停止工作后，工作水箱内的气压与补水水箱内的气压可以保持平衡，但是蒸汽输送管路3(参照图1和图2)可能会存在一些弯折段，蒸汽输送管路3长时间工作后，这些弯折段内容易积攒冷却水，冷却水会阻碍蒸汽的流动，同时还会造成蒸汽输送管路3和工作水箱22内的气压过大，通过设置气压调节口223，可以及时的平衡工作水箱22与补水水箱26之间的压力，从而可以保证补水水箱26可以及时向工作水箱22中补充水源。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图6和图7所示，气压调节口223处设有蒸汽阀24。通过设置蒸汽阀24，用户可以更为方便的调节蒸汽输送管路3(参照图1和图2)和工作水箱22内的蒸汽压力。此外，设置蒸汽阀24还可以保证蒸汽发生装置2工作时，蒸汽腔室221内的蒸汽不发生泄漏，从而可以保证蒸汽发生装置2工作的可靠性和安全性。
具体地，蒸汽阀24可是机械阀也可以是电磁阀，蒸汽发生装置2正常工作时，蒸汽阀24处于关闭状态。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图1和图2所示，室内机1与蒸汽输送管路3一一对应。可以理解的是，当室内机1设置有多个时，蒸汽输送管路3也设置有多条，由此， 不仅便于多个室内机1与多条蒸汽输送管路3连接和安装的难度，同时还可以降低检修和后期维护的难度，节省了安装和后期检修的时间，提升了安装和检修的效率。再者，还可以实现对不同室内机1的精准送气，例如，部分室内机1的工作风量较大时，可以对对应蒸汽输送管路3的蒸汽量的调节，以实现蒸汽量与室内机1风量的适配，具有加湿控制精确的优点。
根据本申请的一些实施例，如图8所示，蒸汽输送管路3的另一端位于出风口11处。可以理解的是，当工作水箱22内的蒸汽压强高于蒸汽出口224处的压强时，在蒸汽压力的作用下，工作水箱22内的高压蒸汽可以依次流经蒸汽出口224、蒸汽输送管路3和室内机1的出风口11(参照图6和图7)，并与从室内机1输送至出风口11的气流进行混合，然后一起输送至室内空间。
将蒸汽输送管路3的另一端设在出风口11处，不仅可以降低蒸汽输送管路3连接和装配的难度，同时还可以降低对蒸汽输送管路3维护的难度。
根据本申请的一些实施例，如图9和图10所示，室内机1具有风道13，风道13与出风口11连通，室内机1还包括换热器14，换热器14设于风道13内，蒸汽输送管路3的另一端设于换热器14处。可以理解的是，从室内机1吹送出的气流是先经过换热器14然后从出风口11排送至室内(参照图6和图7)，通过将蒸汽输送管路3的另一端设于换热器14处，可以延长蒸汽与室内机1中的气流的混合时间，使得蒸汽可以与上述气流充分混合，进而提升了加湿效果。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图9和图10所示，在风道13内气流流动的方向上，蒸汽输送管路3的另一端位于换热器14的上游或者下游。可以理解的是，蒸汽输送管路3的另一端可以设置在换热器14的上游或者换热器14的下游，具体地可以根据室内机1的具体型号、应用的环境和制造成本进行选择。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图10所示，蒸汽输送管路3的另一端位于换热器14和出风口11之间。可以理解的是，将蒸汽输送管路3的另一端设置在换热器14和出风口11之间，不仅可以延长蒸汽与室内机1中的气流的混合时间，使得蒸汽可以与上述气流充分混合，还可以降低蒸汽输送管路3连接和装配的难度，同时还可以降低对蒸汽输送管路3维护的难度。
根据本申请的一些实施例，如图3和图4所示，空气调节装置100包括：多个室内机1和蒸汽发生装置2，每个室内机1具有一个出风口11(参照图8)，蒸汽发生装置2具有多个蒸汽出口224，多个蒸汽出口224与多个室内机1一一对应，每个蒸汽出口224通过蒸汽输送管路3与室内机1连通，蒸汽发生装置2利用蒸汽的压强驱动蒸汽流 动且依次通过蒸汽出口224、蒸汽输送管路3流动至室内机1。
可以理解的是，蒸汽发生装置2具有多个蒸汽出口224，多个蒸汽出口224与多个室内机1一一对应，由此，多个蒸汽出口224排送出的蒸汽可以通过独立的蒸汽输送管路3输送至多个室内机1，从而可以实现多个室内机1的独立加湿。
在本申请的一些实施例中，如图3和图4所示，蒸汽发生装置2包括多个蒸汽发生模块21，每个蒸汽发生模块21具有蒸汽出口224，蒸汽发生模块21包括工作水箱22和电加热器25，工作水箱22具有加热腔222和蒸汽腔室221。可以理解的是，每个室内机1可以对应一个蒸汽腔室221，蒸汽腔室221可以根据室内机1需要的蒸汽量，控制电加热器25的加热功率，从而可以实现不同室内机1的不同体积的蒸汽量的输送，进而可以更好的满足用户的需要，具有节能的优点。
具体地，如图6和图7所示，蒸汽发生装置2的底部还设置有接水盘29，以避免补水水箱26或者工作水箱22内的水泄漏至室内空间。
需要说明的是，空气调节装置100可以是单独部件，通过吊顶方式安装在厨房、卫生间，用以直接与自来水或经过净化的自来水连通，也即用自来水或经过净化的自来水为空气调节装置100供水；空气调节装置100也可以是集成在空调器内，并与空调器作为一个整体。
