Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically to an air conditioner that can simultaneously supply both hot and cold air. Background Technology

[0002] In high-humidity workshops, such as seafood processing workshops, condensation occurs because the temperature of the ceiling and walls is lower than the indoor dew point temperature. This condensation can threaten electrical equipment and disrupt normal operations. Conventional anti-condensation methods include passive methods, such as increasing airflow and raising the outlet air temperature to prevent the building envelope from becoming too cold, but this requires raising the overall workshop temperature and therefore consumes a lot of energy. Active methods use electric heaters to apply jets of hot air to the ceiling to regulate temperature, which also consumes a significant amount of energy. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This invention discloses an air conditioner that can simultaneously supply hot and cold air, solving the problem of high energy consumption in existing ceiling anti-condensation systems.

[0004] The present invention discloses an air conditioner, comprising: a housing, wherein an air outlet is provided on the housing, the air outlet including a hot air outlet and a cold air outlet; the housing is located entirely within a usage space, and the air from the hot air outlet and the air from the cold air outlet are directed toward different target areas respectively.

[0005] Furthermore, the air conditioner is installed inside the workshop, and the hot air outlet is located on the workshop ceiling and blows hot air into the ceiling area.

[0006] Furthermore, the cold air outlet blows cold air onto the workshop floor.

[0007] Furthermore, the hot air outlet has an angle with the cold air outlet, and the hot air outlet is located above the cold air outlet.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes: an air guide device, which is movably disposed at the air outlet position and is used to guide the airflow toward the target area; a detection device, which is used to detect the temperature of the target area; and a control device, which is electrically connected to the detection device and the air guide device respectively, and is used to control the movement of the air guide device according to the temperature of the target area to adjust the airflow direction.

[0009] Furthermore, the air guiding device includes: a first air guiding device and a second air guiding device; the first air guiding device is disposed at the hot air outlet, and the first air guiding device guides the hot air from the hot air outlet to blow out towards the roof; the second air guiding device is disposed at the cold air outlet, and the second air guiding device guides the cold air from the cold air outlet to blow out towards the ground.

[0010] Furthermore, the first air guiding device includes a spherical nozzle.

[0011] Furthermore, the second air guiding device includes a louvered air outlet.

[0012] Furthermore, there are multiple air outlets and multiple air guiding devices, with one air guiding device provided on each air outlet, and the multiple air guiding devices are adjusted and moved synchronously.

[0013] Furthermore, the detection device is disposed on the housing, and the detection device includes a temperature sensor and / or a thermal imaging sensor.

[0014] Furthermore, the housing is positioned near the workshop ceiling, and the first air guide device guides hot air to form an attached jet on the roof.

[0015] Furthermore, it also includes: an exhaust duct, wherein the cold air outlet is connected to the first end of the exhaust duct, and the second end of the exhaust duct is connected to the outside.

[0016] The air conditioner of the present invention has its casing set up entirely within the use space and is provided with a hot air outlet and a cold air outlet. When in use, the hot air outlet blows hot air toward the area where condensation is formed, raising the temperature of that area above the dew point temperature, thereby preventing the formation of condensation. Furthermore, since the air from the hot air outlet and the air from the cold air outlet blow toward different target areas, they do not interfere with each other, thus saving energy.

[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments, but is not limited to the contents of the specification.

[0020] like Figure 1As shown, this invention discloses an air conditioner, comprising: a housing 10, on which an air outlet 11 is provided, the air outlet 11 including a hot air outlet 12 and a cold air outlet 13; the housing 10 is entirely located within a usage space, and the air outlets 12 and 13 blow air towards different target areas respectively. By placing the housing 10 entirely within the usage space and providing the hot air outlet 12 and cold air outlet 13, the air conditioner of this invention allows the hot air outlet 12 to blow hot air towards areas where condensation forms during use, raising the temperature of those areas above the dew point temperature, thereby preventing condensation. Furthermore, since the air outlets 12 and 13 blow air towards different target areas respectively, they do not interfere with each other, saving energy.

[0021] In the above embodiment, the air conditioner is installed inside the workshop, and the hot air outlet 12 is positioned corresponding to the workshop ceiling and blows hot air onto the ceiling area. This invention, by installing the air conditioner inside the workshop and positioning the hot air outlet 12 corresponding to the workshop ceiling and blowing hot air onto the ceiling area, raises the temperature of the corresponding area of ​​the ceiling above the dew point temperature, thereby preventing condensation and avoiding the use of direct electrical heating. Furthermore, the direct action on the ceiling further saves energy.

[0022] In the above embodiment, the cold air outlet 13 blows cold air towards the workshop floor. The air conditioner of the present invention, by blowing cold air from the cold air outlet 13 towards the workshop floor, can prevent condensation from forming on the workshop ceiling while simultaneously cooling the area near the workshop floor. Furthermore, due to the principle that hot air rises and cold air sinks, the cold and hot air will not interfere with each other, resulting in greater energy efficiency.

[0023] In the above embodiment, the air outlet direction of the hot air outlet 12 forms an angle with the air outlet direction of the cold air outlet 13, the hot air outlet 12 is located above the cold air outlet 13, and the hot air outlet 12 and the cold air outlet 13 are located on the same side of the housing 10. Because the air outlet direction of the hot air outlet 12 forms an angle with the air outlet direction of the cold air outlet 13, and the hot air outlet 12 is located above the cold air outlet 13, and the hot air outlet 12 and the cold air outlet 13 are located on the same side of the housing 10, the air conditioner of the present invention can simultaneously cool and heat, and the cold and hot air will not interfere with each other, thus achieving greater energy efficiency.

[0024] In the above embodiments, the system further includes: an air guiding device 20, a detection device 30, and a control device. The air guiding device 20 is movably disposed at the air outlet 11 and is used to guide the airflow towards the target area. The detection device 30 is used to detect the temperature of the target area. The control device is electrically connected to both the detection device 30 and the air guiding device 20, and is used to control the movement of the air guiding device 20 according to the temperature of the target area to adjust the airflow direction. The air conditioner of the present invention, by providing the air guiding device 20 and the detection device 30, enables the air conditioner to control the movement of the air guiding device 20 according to the temperature of the target area to adjust the airflow direction, thereby improving the efficiency of cooling and heating.

[0025] In the above embodiment, the air guiding device 20 includes: a first air guiding device 21 and a second air guiding device 22; the first air guiding device 21 is disposed at the hot air outlet 12, and guides the hot air from the hot air outlet 12 towards the roof; the second air guiding device 22 is disposed at the cold air outlet 13, and guides the cold air from the cold air outlet 13 towards the ground. The first air guiding device 21 includes a spherical nozzle.

[0026] In the above embodiments, the second air guiding device 22 includes a louvered air outlet. The air conditioner of the present invention, by setting a spherical nozzle and a louvered air outlet, adjusts the air delivery angle, allowing the air jet to reach the ceiling area, especially the steel structure prone to condensation. It can also guide cold and hot air to different directions, thus avoiding mutual interference. The spherical nozzle can be an electrically operated spherical nozzle, and the louvered air outlet can also be an electrically operated louvered air outlet, facilitating adjustment. Furthermore, using an electrically operated louvered air outlet allows for adjustment of the cooling air angle, better controlling the mixing of cold and hot air. When the angle is adjusted to swing vertically from 0° to -45°, it can cover a wider area of ​​the space.

[0027] In the above embodiment, there are multiple air outlets 11 and multiple air guiding devices 20. Each air outlet 11 is equipped with one air guiding device 20, and the multiple air guiding devices 20 are synchronously adjusted and moved. The detection device 30 is installed on the housing 10, and the detection device 30 includes a temperature sensor and / or a thermal imaging sensor. The housing 10 is located near the ceiling of the workshop, and the first air guiding device 21 guides the hot air to form an attached jet on the roof.

[0028] In the above embodiments, the air conditioner also includes a refrigerant compression cycle, which further includes an evaporator for cooling and a radiator for heating. The evaporator is used to generate cold air, and the radiator is used to generate hot air. The evaporator and the radiator are located in different areas in the vertical direction to prevent mutual interference.

[0029] The air conditioner of the present invention, by setting multiple air guiding devices 20 and cooperating with temperature sensors and / or thermal imaging sensors, can realize multiple operating modes. The specific control scheme is as follows:

[0030] Long-distance temperature regulation of attached jet:

[0031] When the workshop ceiling has a supporting steel structure that is parallel to the nozzle direction, the nozzle angle can be 15° to 60° with the steel structure to achieve unidirectional, zone-specific attached jet airflow, enabling long-distance temperature regulation.

[0032] Local temperature regulation:

[0033] When the temperature feedback from the thermal imaging is low and close to the indoor dew point temperature, the nozzle can be aimed at the area to supply air and adjust the temperature. When the area is too large, the nozzle can be adjusted up, down, left and right in that direction by -5° to 5°.

[0034] Wide-area temperature regulation

[0035] When the ceiling temperature needs to be raised over a large area, multiple nozzles can be used to deliver air from multiple angles over a wide area to raise the temperature, thus achieving greater temperature control over a wider area.

[0036] In the above embodiment, it also includes: an exhaust duct, with the cold air outlet 13 connected to the first end of the exhaust duct and the second end of the exhaust duct connected to the outside. By installing the exhaust duct, in workshops where there is a risk of condensation only during the cooling season, if there is a risk of condensation in winter, an exhaust duct can be added to the cold air outlet 13 to discharge the air outdoors.

[0037] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all embodiments here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
