Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of central air conditioning technology, specifically to an energy-saving central air conditioning system. Background Technology

[0002] Central air conditioning is a centralized cooling or heating air conditioning system, and its applications are extremely widespread. Marine central air conditioning systems are air conditioning systems specifically designed for ships to ensure a comfortable environment inside the vessel. Existing marine central air conditioning systems use chiller units to provide the cooling source, but chiller units have high operating power and consume a lot of energy. Existing technologies achieve energy reduction by setting up parallel cooling sources, such as the energy-saving marine central air conditioning system in patent number CN118205698A, which uses a sea-fresh water plate heat exchanger connected in parallel with a chiller unit as the cooling source to achieve the effect of reducing energy consumption. However, it still requires power equipment to achieve this, resulting in new energy losses and the energy-saving effect is generally limited. Therefore, we propose an energy-saving central air conditioning system. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an energy-saving central air conditioning system to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that existing marine central air conditioning systems use chiller units to provide cold sources, but the operating power of chiller units is relatively large, resulting in high energy consumption. Existing technologies achieve the effect of reducing energy consumption by setting up parallel cold sources, but still require the use of power equipment, resulting in new energy losses and generally poor energy-saving effects.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an energy-saving central air conditioning system, including a base, pipes, and further including a drive component, a cleaning component, and a heat exchange component. The drive component is installed inside the base, the cleaning component is installed outside the pipes, and the heat exchange component is installed inside the pipes. When the drive component is started, it drives the pipes to exchange heat with the interior of the cabin.

[0005] Preferably, the drive assembly includes a housing, a blade, and a ventilation fan. The ventilation fan is snapped into the base, and the housing is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base. The blade is installed at the front of the housing and is driven by the ventilation fan. The drive assembly also includes a first bevel gear, a second bevel gear, a connecting rod, a third bevel gear, and a fourth bevel gear. The connecting rod is installed inside the housing. The third bevel gear is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod. The third bevel gear meshes with the fourth bevel gear, which is coaxially connected to the blade. The second bevel gear is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod. The second bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear, which is coaxially connected to the ventilation fan.

[0006] Preferably, the cleaning assembly includes a horizontal plate, a movable frame, a brush, and a limiting strip. The surface of the pipe is provided with two symmetrical movable frames. Each of the two movable frames is fixedly connected to four horizontal plates of different grades. The side of the horizontal plate is fixedly connected to a limiting strip, and the inner side of the limiting strip is fixedly connected to a brush.

[0007] Preferably, the heat exchange assembly includes heat exchange plates, and three heat exchange plates at equal intervals are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the top of the base is provided with a matching slot, and the top of the base is threadedly and detachably connected to a cover plate.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. The present invention installs a ventilation fan inside the base. Under the action of water flow or the convective force between the ship's movement and the water, the two blades drive the two blades to rotate. The two blades drive the fourth bevel gear to rotate. The fourth bevel gear drives the third bevel gear and the connecting rod to rotate. The second bevel gear at the top of the connecting rod drives the first bevel gear and the ventilation fan to rotate. Since the two connecting rods are symmetrically arranged, the ventilation fans inside the two bases rotate in opposite directions, realizing the ventilation between the pipe and the cabin.

[0010] 2. The present invention sets three heat exchange plates at equal intervals on the inner wall of the pipe. When the water flows directly on the side of the pipe, or when the water flows through the top and bottom of the pipe, it carries away the heat of the heat exchange plates, thereby achieving a cooling effect inside the pipe. The low-temperature air inside the pipe enters the cabin with the ventilation, thereby achieving cooling inside the cabin.

[0011] 3. The present invention provides a movable frame with equidistant horizontal plates connected to the pipe surface. Under the action of water flow or the convective force between the movement of the ship and the water, the movable frame is driven to rotate. The movable frame drives the limiting strip connected to the brush to rotate, thus cleaning the pipe surface and preventing algae and other objects from adhering to the pipe surface and affecting the heat exchange effect, thereby ensuring the cooling effect inside the pipe.

[0012] 4. The power of this invention comes from the convection between the water flow or the movement of the hull and the water body, without the need for any power equipment, which is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Attached Figure Description

[0014] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0015] Example See also Figures 1-4 The figure shows an energy-saving central air conditioning system, including a base 1, a pipe 2, a drive component, a cleaning component, and a heat exchange component. The drive component is installed inside the base 1, the cleaning component is installed outside the pipe 2, and the heat exchange component is installed inside the pipe 2. When the drive component is started, it drives the pipe 2 to exchange heat with the interior of the cabin. Furthermore, the drive assembly includes a housing 3, a blade 4, and a ventilation fan 6. The ventilation fan 6 is snapped into the base 1. The housing 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base 1. The blade 4 is installed at the front of the housing 3. The blade 4 is connected to the ventilation fan 6 in a transmission connection. The drive assembly also includes a first bevel gear 12, a second bevel gear 13, a connecting rod 14, a third bevel gear 15, and a fourth bevel gear 16. The connecting rod 14 is installed inside the housing 3. The third bevel gear 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 14. The third bevel gear 15 meshes with the fourth bevel gear 16. The fourth bevel gear 16 is coaxially connected to the blade 4. The second bevel gear 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 14. The second bevel gear 13 meshes with the first bevel gear 12. The first bevel gear 12 is coaxially connected to the ventilation fan 6. Furthermore, the base 1 has a matching slot 7 on its top, and a cover plate 5 is detachably connected to the top of the base 1 by threads. A ventilation fan 6 is installed inside the base 1. Under the force of the water flow or the convective force between the ship's movement and the water, the two propellers 4 rotate. The two propellers 4 drive the bevel gear 4 16 to rotate. The bevel gear 4 16 drives the bevel gear 3 15 and the connecting rod 14 to rotate. The bevel gear 2 13 at the top of the connecting rod 14 drives the bevel gear 1 12 and the ventilation fan 6 to rotate. Since the two connecting rods 14 are symmetrically arranged, the ventilation fans 6 inside the two bases 1 rotate in opposite directions, realizing the ventilation between the pipe 2 and the interior of the cabin.

[0016] Based on the aforementioned solution, the cleaning component includes a horizontal plate 8, a movable frame 9, a brush 10, and a limiting strip 11. Two symmetrical movable frames 9 are provided on the surface of the pipe 2. Four horizontal plates 8 of varying sizes are fixedly connected to the surfaces of both movable frames 9. A limiting strip 11 is fixedly connected to the side of each horizontal plate 8, and a brush 10 is fixedly connected to the inner side of each limiting strip 11. Movable frames 9 connected to equidistant horizontal plates 8 are provided on the surface of the pipe 2. Under the force of water flow or the convective force between the movement of the hull and the water, the movable frames 9 rotate. The movable frames 9 drive the limiting strip 11 connected to the brush 10 to rotate, cleaning the surface of the pipe 2 and preventing algae and other objects from adhering to the surface of the pipe 2 and affecting the heat exchange effect, thereby ensuring the cooling effect inside the pipe 2.

[0017] As a further improvement of this invention, the heat exchange assembly includes heat exchange plates 17, and three heat exchange plates 17 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the pipe 2 at equal intervals. With three heat exchange plates 17 at equal intervals on the inner wall of the pipe 2, when the water flow directly acts on the side of the pipe 2, or when the water flow passes through the top and bottom of the pipe 2, it carries away the heat from the heat exchange plates 17, thereby achieving a cooling effect inside the pipe 2. The low-temperature air inside the pipe 2 enters the cabin with the ventilation, thereby achieving cooling inside the cabin.

[0018] It should be noted that this invention is an energy-saving central air conditioning system. Under the action of water flow or the convective force between the ship's movement and the water, two blades 4 are driven to rotate. The two blades 4 drive bevel gear 4 16 to rotate, bevel gear 4 16 drives bevel gear 3 15 and connecting rod 14 to rotate, and bevel gear 2 13 at the top of connecting rod 14 drives bevel gear 1 12 and ventilation fan 6 to rotate. Since the two connecting rods 14 are symmetrically arranged, the ventilation fans 6 inside the two bases 1 rotate in opposite directions, realizing air exchange between the pipe 2 and the interior of the ship's cabin. At the same time, when the water flows directly onto the side of the pipe 2 or flows through the top and bottom of the pipe 2, it carries away the heat from the heat exchange plate 17, thereby achieving a cooling effect inside the pipe 2. The low-temperature air inside the pipe 2 enters the cabin with the ventilation, achieving cooling inside the cabin. On the other hand, it drives the movable frame 9 on the surface of the pipe 2 to rotate. The movable frame 9 drives the limiting strip 11 connected to the brush 10 to rotate, cleaning the surface of the pipe 2 and preventing algae and other objects from adhering to the surface of the pipe 2 and affecting the heat exchange effect, thereby ensuring the cooling effect inside the pipe 2.
