In this embodiment, by providing the guide posts 105, the upper ends of the guide posts 105 are connected to the lower surface 104 of the permeable member, the lower ends of the guide posts 105 are lower than the lower surface 104 of the permeable member, and the water adsorbed on the lower surface 104 of the permeable member is guided to the plurality of guide posts 105 on the lower surface 104 of the permeable member, and then drops or flows out from the guide posts 105. That is, the water no longer randomly converges into water droplets to fall or flow out, but from the fixedly disposed plurality of guide posts 105.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in FIGS. 1-3, a plurality of flow posts 105 are uniformly spaced apart on the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member. The arrangement of the flow guiding column 105 makes the water more uniform in the humidifying process, and makes the humidifying effect of the indoor unit of the air conditioner better.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the flow guiding columns 105 are cylindrical, and the plurality of flow guiding columns are uniformly and alternately distributed on the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member.

In this embodiment, the water on the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member is guided to the densely distributed guide columns 105 on the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member, and then drops or flows out from the guide columns 105 to form densely distributed water drops or water flows.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the fluid-guiding stud 105 and the water-permeable member 102 are made of the same material.

In this embodiment, the water first penetrates the water permeable member 102 to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member, and then passes through the flow guiding columns 105 to drop or flow out from the lower surface of the flow guiding columns 105. The same material is adopted for the water permeable member 102 and the flow guiding column 105, so that water can quickly penetrate through the water permeable member 102 and the flow guiding column 105, and the humidifying effect is better.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the deflector column 105 and the water permeable member 102 are integrally formed. The water permeable member 102 and the guide post 105 belong to a whole, and in the production and manufacturing process of the humidifying device of the air conditioner, the independent manufacturing and corresponding installation processes of the water permeable member 102 and the guide post 105 can be omitted, so that time and labor are saved.

Furthermore, in order to maintain the optimal humidifying effect of the humidifying device of the air conditioner, the guide post 105 and the permeable member 102 need to be maintained or replaced regularly, and the guide post 105 and the permeable member 102 are integrally formed, so that the disassembling and assembling steps are omitted during maintenance or replacement, and the humidifying device is more convenient.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the flow post 105 is adhered to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member, so that the installation is simple and convenient, and the cost is low.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the flow post 105 is mounted to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member by a mounting structure. The guiding columns 105 can be clamped on the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member. For example, a clamping block is arranged on the flow guiding column 105, a clamping groove is arranged on the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member, and the clamping block is inserted into the clamping groove, so that the flow guiding column 105 is installed. The clamping groove and the clamping block are the installation structure. Of course, a clamping block can be arranged on the lower surface 104 of the permeable member, a clamping groove is arranged on the flow guiding column 105, and the clamping block is inserted into the clamping groove to realize the installation of the flow guiding column 105. Of course, the flow post 105 may be mounted and fixed to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member by other means.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1, the humidifying device of the air conditioner further comprises a water storage tank 101. The bottom wall 103 of the reservoir 101 has an opening. The water permeable member 102 closes the opening.

In this embodiment, the openings cooperate with the water permeable member 102 to allow water in the reservoir 101 to penetrate the water permeable member 102 to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member. The water storage tank 101 is arranged, so that humidifying water can be stored temporarily, and the humidifying water is more uniform when entering the water permeable member 102, and has a simple structure and lower cost.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in FIG. 1, the water permeable member 102 is positioned within the water storage tank 101, and the water storage tank 101 further has a water storage space 106 positioned on the upper side of the water permeable member 102.

In this embodiment, the water storage space 106 stores a certain amount of water, and the water penetrates the water permeable member 102 to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member. The water needs to penetrate the permeable member 102 for a certain time, so the water storage space 106 can store water, and in the permeable process, water can uniformly enter the permeable member 102, so that the water on the lower surface 104 of the permeable member is more uniform.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in FIG. 1, the water permeable member 102 is in contact with the bottom wall 103 and the perimeter wall of the water storage tank 101.

In this embodiment, the permeable member 102 is in interference fit with the water storage tank 101, so that the water storage space 106 above the permeable member 102 is easier to store water. If there is a gap between the permeable member 102 and the bottom wall 103 and the peripheral wall of the water storage tank 101, it is likely to leak out of the gap, which is not beneficial to the water permeation of the permeable member 102 on the one hand and the water storage of the water storage space 106 on the other hand, so that the humidifying effect of the humidifying device of the air conditioner is not good.

In some embodiments of the present utility model, the water permeable member 102 is disposed on the underside of the opening, and the water permeable member 102 is in contact with the bottom wall 103.

In this embodiment, water enters the water permeable member 102 through the openings and then passes through the water permeable member 102 to the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member. The permeable member 102 is in contact with the bottom wall 103, that is, the permeable member 102 seals the opening formed in the bottom wall 103, so that water can be stored in the water storage tank 101, and the stored water has a certain weight, so that a certain water pressure can be generated on the permeable member 102, the speed of water penetrating through the permeable member 102 is increased, and the humidifying efficiency of the humidifying device of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is improved.

If the water permeable member 102 is not in contact with the bottom wall 103, then there will be a gap between the water permeable member 102 and the bottom wall 103, from which water easily flows out, so that there is little water entering the water permeable member 102, and finally insufficient water reaches the lower surface 104 of the water permeable member.
