In order to know the amount of water in the water container 1, as shown in FIG. 4, the air treatment device 100 of this embodiment further includes an upper limit water level detection device, a lower limit water level detection device 8, a processor and an alarm, an upper limit water level detection device and a lower limit water level detection device The devices 8 are arranged in the water container 1 at upper and lower intervals, and the processor is electrically connected with the upper limit water level detection device, the lower limit water level detection device 8 and the alarm.
其中,上限水位检测装置用于检测水容器1的上限水位,下限水位检测装置8用于检测水容器1的下限水位。这里,上限水位指的是水容器1能够允许的最高水位值,下限水位指的是水容器1允许的最低限度的水位值,上限水位和下限水位可以根据水容器1的容量来合理制定,本实施例对此不做限制。例如,长为1m、宽为1m、高为1m的水容器1的容积为1m 3,其上限水位可以为0.8m,下限水位可以为0.2m。 Wherein, the upper limit water level detection device is used to detect the upper limit water level of the water container 1 , and the lower limit water level detection device 8 is used to detect the lower limit water level of the water container 1 . Here, the upper limit water level refers to the maximum allowable water level value of the water container 1, and the lower limit water level refers to the minimum allowable water level value of the water container 1. The upper limit water level and the lower limit water level can be reasonably formulated according to the capacity of the water container 1. This The embodiment does not limit this. For example, a water container 1 with a length of 1 m, a width of 1 m and a height of 1 m has a volume of 1 m 3 , the upper limit water level may be 0.8 m, and the lower limit water level may be 0.2 m.
下限水位检测装置8和上限水位检测装置均将检测到的水位值传输给处理器,处理器响应于该水位值,控制报警器发出报警信号。具体来说,当下限水位检测装置8检测到的水容器1的水位低于下限水位,处理器控制报警器发出缺水报警信号;当上限水位检测装置检测到的水容器1的水位高于上限水位,处理器控制报警器发出满水报警信号。Both the lower limit water level detection device 8 and the upper limit water level detection device transmit the detected water level value to the processor, and the processor controls the alarm to send out an alarm signal in response to the water level value. Specifically, when the water level of the water container 1 detected by the lower limit water level detection device 8 is lower than the lower limit water level, the processor controls the alarm to issue a water shortage alarm signal; when the water level of the water container 1 detected by the upper limit water level detection device is higher than the upper limit When the water level is reached, the processor controls the alarm to send out a full water alarm signal.
处理器设置在水容器1外,可以与水容器1的外壁连接,也可以设置在水箱底座2、风机壳体4或者空气处理装置100的其他部件上。处理器接收下限水位检测装置8检测到的水位值,并将该水位值与预先设置的下限水位进行比较,当该水位值小于下限水位时,控制报警器发出缺水报警信号。其中,处理器可以是单片机,也可以是可编程控制器(Programmable Logic Controller,以下简称:PLC),本实施例对此不做限制。The processor is disposed outside the water container 1 , and may be connected to the outer wall of the water container 1 , or may be disposed on the water tank base 2 , the fan housing 4 or other components of the air treatment device 100 . The processor receives the water level value detected by the lower limit water level detection device 8 and compares the water level value with the preset lower limit water level. When the water level value is less than the lower limit water level, the control alarm sends out a water shortage alarm signal. The processor may be a single-chip microcomputer or a programmable logic controller (Programmable Logic Controller, hereinafter referred to as: PLC), which is not limited in this embodiment.
缺水报警信号和满水报警信号均可以为光线信号、声音信号、文字信号中的至少一种,根据报警信号类型的不同,报警器也可以不同。示例性地,采用声音信号来进行报警时,报警器可以为蜂鸣器或者扬声器。具体的,以扬声器为例,缺水报警信号可以为扬声器发出“水量低请加水”的提示声音,满水报警信号可以为扬声器发出“请停止加水”的提示声音;以蜂鸣器为例,缺水报警信号可以为蜂鸣器发出5秒的警报声音,满水报警信号可以为蜂鸣器发出1秒的警报声音。The water shortage alarm signal and the water full alarm signal can be at least one of a light signal, a sound signal, and a text signal, and the alarms can also be different according to the type of the alarm signal. Exemplarily, when a sound signal is used for alarming, the alarm may be a buzzer or a speaker. Specifically, taking a loudspeaker as an example, the water shortage alarm signal can be a prompt sound of "low water, please add water" to the loudspeaker, and the water full alarm signal can be a prompt sound of "please stop adding water" to the loudspeaker; taking the buzzer as an example, The alarm signal of water shortage can make a 5-second alarm sound for the buzzer, and the alarm signal of full water can make a 1-second alarm sound for the buzzer.
举例来说,采用光线信号来进行报警时,报警器可以为发光二极管(Light Emitting Diode,以下简称:LED灯)、灯泡或者红外发射器等。具体的,以LED灯为例,缺水报警信号可以为LED灯闪烁5次,满水报警信号可以为LED灯持续发光2秒。当然,在本申请的其他一些示例中,LED灯也可以通过发出不同颜色的光来提示水容器1达到缺水状态或满水状态。例如,缺水报警信号可以为LED灯发出红色的光线,满水报警信号可以为LED灯发出黄色的光线。For example, when a light signal is used for alarming, the alarm may be a light-emitting diode (Light Emitting Diode, hereinafter referred to as: LED light), a light bulb, or an infrared transmitter. Specifically, taking an LED light as an example, the water shortage alarm signal may be that the LED light flashes 5 times, and the water full alarm signal may be that the LED light continues to glow for 2 seconds. Of course, in some other examples of the present application, the LED light can also prompt the water container 1 to reach a water-deficient state or a water-filled state by emitting lights of different colors. For example, the water shortage alarm signal can emit red light for the LED light, and the water full alarm signal can emit yellow light for the LED light.
采用文字信号来进行报警时,报警器可以为显示装置,例如LED屏。其中,LED屏可以显示“缺水”字样来作为缺水报警信号,LED屏可以显示“满水”字样来作为满水报警信号。When a text signal is used to give an alarm, the alarm can be a display device, such as an LED screen. Among them, the LED screen can display the words "water shortage" as a water shortage alarm signal, and the LED screen can display the words "full water" as a water full alarm signal.
上述各实施例中的报警器均可以安装在空气处理装置100上,当空气处理装置100应用在大型空气处理设备上时,报警器也可以安装在空气处理设备上。比如,空气处理设备为空调,报警器可以安装在空调的面板上,尤其是报警信号为文字信号时,位于面板上的文字信号容易被用户观察到。The alarms in the above-mentioned embodiments can be installed on the air treatment device 100 . When the air treatment device 100 is applied to a large-scale air treatment equipment, the alarm device can also be installed in the air treatment equipment. For example, if the air treatment equipment is an air conditioner, the alarm can be installed on the panel of the air conditioner, especially when the alarm signal is a text signal, the text signal on the panel is easy to be observed by the user.
综上,本实施例提供的空气处理装置100,当下限水位检测装置8检测到水容器1的水位低于下限水位时,处理器控制报警器发出缺水报警信号,进而提示用户加水,以免水容器1缺水而导致空气处理装置100无法正常工作;当上限水位检测装置检测到水容器1的水位高于上限水位时,处理器控制报警器发出满水报警信号,从而有利于避免加水过多而导 致水容器1的水超出其负载。To sum up, in the air treatment device 100 provided in this embodiment, when the lower limit water level detection device 8 detects that the water level of the water container 1 is lower than the lower limit water level, the processor controls the alarm to issue a water shortage alarm signal, and then prompts the user to add water to avoid water shortage. The air treatment device 100 cannot work normally due to the lack of water in the container 1; when the upper limit water level detection device detects that the water level of the water container 1 is higher than the upper limit water level, the processor controls the alarm to send out a full water alarm signal, thereby helping to avoid adding too much water As a result, the water in the water container 1 exceeds its load.
图5为本申请一实施例的空气处理装置中水容器的结构示意图一,图6为图5中A处的局部放大图,图7为本申请一实施例的空气处理装置中水容器的结构示意图二。参照图5至图7,下限水位检测装置8可以包括磁场检测装置81、浮子82以及磁体,浮子82位于水容器1内部,其位置随着水位的变化的发生改变,磁体设置在浮子82上,也随水位而变化,磁场检测装置81设置在水容器1的外壁上,并响应于磁体而输出电压信号。由此,与液位检测装置来检测水容器1的下限水位相比,有利于避免下限水位检测装置8在水容器1占据过多的空间而导致水幕不易形成。5 is a first structural schematic diagram of a water container in an air treatment device according to an embodiment of the application, FIG. 6 is a partial enlarged view of part A in FIG. 5 , and FIG. 7 is a structure of a water container in an air treatment device according to an embodiment of the application. Schematic two. 5 to 7, the lower limit water level detection device 8 may include a magnetic field detection device 81, a float 82 and a magnet, the float 82 is located inside the water container 1, and its position changes with the change of the water level, and the magnet is arranged on the float 82, Also changing with the water level, the magnetic field detection device 81 is provided on the outer wall of the water container 1, and outputs a voltage signal in response to the magnet. Therefore, compared with the detection of the lower limit water level of the water container 1 by the liquid level detection device, it is beneficial to avoid the lower limit water level detection device 8 occupying too much space in the water container 1 and the water curtain is not easily formed.
空气处理装置100工作时,水容器1内的水量逐渐减少,浮子82逐渐下降,磁体相对于磁场检测装置81的位置发生改变,也即磁体与磁场检测装置81之间的相对位置变化,则磁场检测装置81输出的电压信号发生变化,通过解析电压信号可以获取磁体的位置,进而可以判断得出浮子82所在液面的高度是否低于下限水位,也就是说,可以判断得出水容器1的水位是否低于下限水位。When the air treatment device 100 is in operation, the amount of water in the water container 1 gradually decreases, the float 82 gradually descends, and the position of the magnet relative to the magnetic field detection device 81 changes, that is, the relative position between the magnet and the magnetic field detection device 81 changes, and the magnetic field changes. The voltage signal output by the detection device 81 changes, and the position of the magnet can be obtained by analyzing the voltage signal, and then it can be judged whether the height of the liquid level where the float 82 is located is lower than the lower limit water level, that is, the water level of the water container 1 can be judged. Whether it is lower than the lower limit water level.
其中,磁场检测装置81可以为磁场传感器,例如GMR传感器,该传感器对磁场的灵敏度高,可以将微弱的磁信号转化成电信号;磁场检测装置81也可以为霍尔传感器,GMR传感器和霍尔传感器的结构和工作原理可以参见教科书或者技术手册,在此不再进行赘述。较佳的,磁场检测装置81距离水容器1底壁的高度与下限水位相同。当浮子82浮动至下限水位时,磁场检测装置81检测到的磁场强度最大,输出的电压信号也最大,则通过输出的电压信号的波形也可以获悉浮子82位于下限水位,也即水容器1的水位为下限水位。The magnetic field detection device 81 may be a magnetic field sensor, such as a GMR sensor, which has high sensitivity to magnetic fields and can convert weak magnetic signals into electrical signals; the magnetic field detection device 81 may also be a Hall sensor, a GMR sensor and a Hall sensor. The structure and working principle of the sensor can be found in textbooks or technical manuals, which will not be repeated here. Preferably, the height of the magnetic field detection device 81 from the bottom wall of the water container 1 is the same as the lower limit water level. When the float 82 floats to the lower limit water level, the magnetic field strength detected by the magnetic field detection device 81 is the largest, and the output voltage signal is also the largest, then the waveform of the output voltage signal can also know that the float 82 is at the lower limit water level, that is, the water container 1 The water level is the lower limit water level.
浮子82的材质可以为海绵,也可以为泡沫,或者为轻质的塑料,只要其密度比水的密度小即可。浮子82的形状不限于为矩形,也可以为圆形、菱形、方形、椭圆形等规则或者不规则的形状。较佳的,磁体设置在浮子82靠近磁场检测装置81的边缘位置,测量效果好。磁体可以通过粘接的方式固定在浮子82上,也可以通过其他的中间媒介安装在浮子82上。The material of the float 82 can be sponge, foam, or light plastic, as long as its density is lower than that of water. The shape of the float 82 is not limited to a rectangle, but may also be a regular or irregular shape such as a circle, a diamond, a square, and an ellipse. Preferably, the magnet is arranged at the edge of the float 82 close to the magnetic field detection device 81, and the measurement effect is good. The magnet can be fixed on the float 82 by means of bonding, or can be installed on the float 82 through other intermediate media.
进一步地,下限水位检测装置8还包括固定部,固定部与水容器1的内壁紧固连接,并且固定部安装在浮子82上,以阻止浮子82绕竖直方向的轴线转动,并限制了浮子82在水平方向上移动。由此,固定部限制了浮子82转动和沿水平方向的运动,也即浮子82只能沿上下方向移动,有利于避免浮子82随水流转动或沿水平方向的运动而导致磁体与磁场检测装置81之间的水平距离发生变化,从而有利于避免磁场检测装置81受此干扰而导致输出的电压信号变化,检测更为精准。该配置尤其适用于水处理件6为离心甩水件,离心甩水件通过旋转将水扬起,则旋转的水量容易使得浮子82转动。Further, the lower limit water level detection device 8 further includes a fixing part, the fixing part is fastened to the inner wall of the water container 1, and the fixing part is installed on the float 82 to prevent the float 82 from rotating around the axis in the vertical direction and limit the float 82 moves in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the fixed part restricts the rotation and movement of the float 82 in the horizontal direction, that is, the float 82 can only move in the up and down direction, which is beneficial to avoid the magnet and the magnetic field detection device 81 caused by the rotation of the float 82 with the water flow or the movement in the horizontal direction. The horizontal distance between them changes, which is beneficial to avoid the change of the output voltage signal caused by the interference of the magnetic field detection device 81, and the detection is more accurate. This configuration is especially suitable when the water treatment member 6 is a centrifugal water throwing member, and the centrifugal water throwing member lifts the water by rotating, and the rotating water volume easily causes the float 82 to rotate.
一种示例中,固定部可以包括底部开口的固定盒,固定盒的底部通过连接件与水容器1的底壁连接,浮子82位于固定盒内,能够沿上下方向移动;并且,固定盒的底部与水容器1的底壁之间具有间距,用于供水流入到固定盒内以浮起浮子82,该间距小于浮子82的高度,使得浮子82无法从固定盒与水容器1之间的间隙离开固定盒。在该示例中,当浮子82浮动至与固定盒的顶壁相抵触时,浮子82运动至最大高度。其中,固定盒的形状和尺寸可以分别根据浮子82的形状和尺寸来进行合理的设计。例如,浮子82为矩形时,固定盒可以为矩形或者圆形,固定盒的尺寸稍大于浮子82,使得浮子82仅能在固定盒内上下移动。In an example, the fixing part may include a fixing box with an open bottom, the bottom of the fixing box is connected with the bottom wall of the water container 1 through a connecting piece, the float 82 is located in the fixing box and can move in the up-down direction; and, the bottom of the fixing box is There is a distance from the bottom wall of the water container 1 for the water supply to flow into the fixed box to float the float 82, the distance is smaller than the height of the float 82, so that the float 82 cannot leave the gap between the fixed box and the water container 1 Fixed box. In this example, the float 82 is moved to its maximum height when it floats against the top wall of the stationary box. The shape and size of the fixed box can be reasonably designed according to the shape and size of the float 82, respectively. For example, when the float 82 is rectangular, the fixed box may be rectangular or circular, and the size of the fixed box is slightly larger than that of the float 82, so that the float 82 can only move up and down in the fixed box.
图8为本申请一实施例的空气处理装置中罩壳的结构示意图。另一种示例中,如图5至图8所示,固定部也可以包括罩壳83,罩壳83紧固罩设在浮子82上;罩壳83的外壁的一侧 可转动连接有第一连杆831,罩壳83的外壁的另一侧可转动连接有第二连杆(图中未示出),第一连杆831和第二连杆背离罩壳83的一端均与水容器1的底壁铰接。空气处理装置100工作时,浮子82向上浮动的过程中,罩壳83随之向上浮动,进而带动罩壳83的第一连杆831和第二连杆绕铰接轴转动,磁场检测装置81与磁体之间的水平距离发生变化,则磁场检测装置81检测到的磁场强度变化,继而输出电压信号。FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of a housing in an air handling apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application. In another example, as shown in FIG. 5 to FIG. 8 , the fixing part may also include a cover 83 , which is fastened and covered on the float 82 ; one side of the outer wall of the cover 83 is rotatably connected with a first The connecting rod 831, the other side of the outer wall of the casing 83 is rotatably connected with a second connecting rod (not shown in the figure), and the ends of the first connecting rod 831 and the second connecting rod facing away from the casing 83 are connected with the water container 1 The bottom wall is hinged. When the air handling device 100 is in operation, when the float 82 floats upward, the cover 83 floats upward accordingly, which in turn drives the first link 831 and the second link of the cover 83 to rotate around the hinge shaft, and the magnetic field detection device 81 and the magnet If the horizontal distance between them changes, the intensity of the magnetic field detected by the magnetic field detection device 81 changes, and then a voltage signal is output.
其中,罩壳83可以卡设在浮子82上,或者可以与浮子82粘接连接。罩壳83是由轻质材料的,例如,塑料,以能够随浮子82的浮动而运动。和固定盒类似的,罩壳83的形状和尺寸也可以分别根据浮子82的形状和尺寸来设计。Wherein, the cover 83 can be clamped on the float 82 , or can be bonded to the float 82 . The housing 83 is made of a lightweight material, such as plastic, to be able to move with the float 82 as it floats. Similar to the fixed box, the shape and size of the casing 83 can also be designed according to the shape and size of the float 82, respectively.
图6所示的示例中,罩壳83呈矩形,且矩形罩壳83的一侧的角端具有缺口,第一连杆831可以容置在该缺口内;同理,矩形罩壳83的另一侧的角端也可以设置缺口,用于容置第二连杆。如图5和图6所示,水容器1的底壁上设有两个承接座,两个承接座相对设置,罩壳83位于两个承接座之间,第一连杆831的一端与其中一个承接座铰接,第二连杆的一端与另一个承接座铰接。In the example shown in FIG. 6 , the casing 83 is rectangular, and one corner end of the rectangular casing 83 has a notch, and the first link 831 can be accommodated in the notch; similarly, the other side of the rectangular casing 83 has a gap. The corner end of one side may also be provided with a notch for accommodating the second connecting rod. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 , the bottom wall of the water container 1 is provided with two sockets, the two sockets are arranged opposite to each other, the cover 83 is located between the two sockets, and one end of the first connecting rod 831 is connected to the two sockets. One bearing seat is hinged, and one end of the second connecting rod is hinged with the other bearing seat.
在本申请的其他示例中,如图8所示,罩壳83朝向浮子82的底部设有安装槽832,磁体的至少部分卡设在安装槽832内。这样设置,磁体除了固定在浮子82上,还能够卡紧在罩壳83上,有利于提高磁体与浮子82连接的可靠性,以确保磁体能够有效的工作。In other examples of the present application, as shown in FIG. 8 , the housing 83 is provided with an installation groove 832 toward the bottom of the float 82 , and at least part of the magnet is clamped in the installation groove 832 . In this way, in addition to being fixed on the float 82, the magnet can also be clamped on the casing 83, which is beneficial to improve the reliability of the connection between the magnet and the float 82, so as to ensure that the magnet can work effectively.
本实施例中,继续参照图5和图6,下限水位检测装置8进一步还包括限位件84,限位件84固定在水容器1的内壁上,并且位于罩壳83背离铰接轴的一端的上方;在第一连杆831和第二连杆转动至竖直状态之前,罩壳83与限位件84相抵触。通过设置限位件84,限位件84限制罩壳83仅能在限位件84和水容器1的内壁围成的空间转动,以在第一连杆831和第二连杆竖直之后,避免罩壳83继续向远离磁场检测装置81的方向(图6中的顺时针方向)转动而导致罩壳83和浮子82翻转过去。In this embodiment, referring to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6, the lower limit water level detection device 8 further includes a limiting member 84, the limiting member 84 is fixed on the inner wall of the water container 1, and is located at the end of the cover 83 away from the hinge shaft. Above; before the first link 831 and the second link rotate to a vertical state, the cover 83 is in conflict with the limiting member 84 . By setting the limiter 84, the limiter 84 restricts the housing 83 to rotate only in the space enclosed by the limiter 84 and the inner wall of the water container 1, so that after the first link 831 and the second link are vertical, It is avoided that the cover 83 continues to rotate in a direction away from the magnetic field detection device 81 (clockwise in FIG. 6 ), causing the cover 83 and the float 82 to turn over.
限位件84可以为块状结构,也可以为杆状结构或者板状结构。如图6所示,限位件84包括限位板,限位板沿水平方向往水容器1的内部延伸,限位板的两侧均竖直设立有连接臂,连接臂与水容器1的内壁连接,以加强限位件84的稳定性。The limiting member 84 may be a block-shaped structure, a rod-shaped structure or a plate-shaped structure. As shown in FIG. 6 , the limiter 84 includes a limiter plate, the limiter plate extends toward the interior of the water container 1 in the horizontal direction, and connecting arms are vertically established on both sides of the limiter plate, and the connecting arms are connected to the water container 1 . The inner walls are connected to enhance the stability of the stopper 84 .
在上述实施例的基础上,上限水位检测装置包括相对的设置在水容器1的内壁上的光线发射器9和光线接收器,光线发射器9及光线接收器与水容器1的底壁之间的距离均和上限水位相等。其中,光线发射器9和光线接收器均与处理器电连接。由此,与液位检测装置来检测水容器1的上限水位相比,有利于避免上限水位检测装置在水容器1占据过多的空间而导致水幕不易形成。并且,利用光学的原理达到液位检测的效果,检测原理简单。On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, the upper limit water level detection device includes a light emitter 9 and a light receiver which are oppositely arranged on the inner wall of the water container 1 , between the light emitter 9 and the light receiver and the bottom wall of the water container 1 The distance is equal to the upper water level. The light transmitter 9 and the light receiver are both electrically connected to the processor. Therefore, compared with the detection of the upper limit water level of the water container 1 by the liquid level detection device, it is beneficial to avoid that the upper limit water level detection device occupies too much space in the water container 1 and the water curtain is not easily formed. Moreover, the optical principle is used to achieve the effect of liquid level detection, and the detection principle is simple.
该实施例中上限水位检测装置的一种示例性的工作原理为:当水容器1的水位不高于上限水位时,光线发射器9发出光线,与光线发射器9相对的光线接收器能够接收到光线,此时的处理器不控制报警器发出报警信号;当水容器1的水位高于上限水位时,光线发射器9发出光线,光线投射到水中,使得光线接收器无法接收到光线,此时的处理器控制报警器发出满水报警信号,以提示用户停止加水。An exemplary working principle of the upper limit water level detection device in this embodiment is: when the water level of the water container 1 is not higher than the upper limit water level, the light emitter 9 emits light, and the light receiver opposite to the light emitter 9 can receive light When the light reaches the light, the processor at this time does not control the alarm to send an alarm signal; when the water level of the water container 1 is higher than the upper limit water level, the light emitter 9 emits light, and the light is projected into the water, so that the light receiver cannot receive the light. When the processor controls the alarm, it sends out a full water alarm signal to prompt the user to stop adding water.
其中,光线发射器9可以为发光二极管,相应的,光线接收器可以为光敏元件;光线发射器9也可以为红外发射管,相应的,光线接收器可以为红外接收管。Wherein, the light transmitter 9 can be a light emitting diode, and correspondingly, the light receiver can be a photosensitive element; the light transmitter 9 can also be an infrared emitting tube, and correspondingly, the light receiver can be an infrared receiving tube.
进一步地,如图7所示,水容器1的外壁上设有溢水口11,光线发射器9固定在溢水口11内。由此,当水容器1内的水高出上限水位时,处理器响应于上限水位检测装置检测到 水位值,控制报警器发出满水报警信号的同时,多余的水能够从溢水口11流出,以免水容器1内的水超出其负载。Further, as shown in FIG. 7 , an overflow port 11 is provided on the outer wall of the water container 1 , and the light emitter 9 is fixed in the overflow port 11 . Therefore, when the water in the water container 1 is higher than the upper limit water level, the processor responds to the detection of the water level value by the upper limit water level detection device, and controls the alarm device to issue a full water alarm signal, and at the same time, the excess water can flow out from the overflow port 11, In order to prevent the water in the water container 1 from exceeding its load.
水容器1的外壁上还设有接水盘,接水盘位于溢水口11的下方,接水盘的底部连接有一导水管,导水管将水导出至空气处理装置100外。通过上述设置,可以避免从水容器1溢出的水泄漏至空气处理装置100内,从而避免空气处理装置100上的电器部件的性能受影响。需要说明的是,当空气处理装置100应用在大型空气处理设备上(例如空调)时,导水管可以与空调的排水管连通,以便于排出水。The outer wall of the water container 1 is also provided with a water receiving tray, which is located below the overflow port 11 , and a water conduit is connected to the bottom of the water receiving tray. Through the above arrangement, it is possible to prevent the water overflowing from the water container 1 from leaking into the air treatment apparatus 100 , thereby avoiding the performance of the electrical components on the air treatment apparatus 100 from being affected. It should be noted that, when the air treatment apparatus 100 is applied to a large air treatment equipment (eg, an air conditioner), the water conduit can be communicated with the drain pipe of the air conditioner to facilitate the discharge of water.
本申请实施例还提供了一种空调,尤其是一种柜式空调内机,其包括外壳以及上述任一实施例中的空气处理装置100,空气处理装置100设置在外壳内。外壳内还设置有与空气处理装置100相隔离的换热风道,换热风道与空气处理装置100上用于对空气进行净化、加湿或降温的流道相独立,可以避免影响空调内机的换热功能。Embodiments of the present application further provide an air conditioner, especially an indoor unit of a cabinet type air conditioner, which includes a casing and the air treatment device 100 in any of the above embodiments, and the air treatment device 100 is disposed in the casing. The shell is also provided with a heat exchange air duct that is isolated from the air handling device 100, and the heat exchange air duct is independent of the flow channel on the air handling device 100 for purifying, humidifying or cooling the air, which can avoid affecting the internal unit of the air conditioner. heat transfer function.
