Various air conditioning devices can help people reach a temperature they can adapt to when the ambient temperature is too high or too low.

[0003] The current air conditioning devices mainly include various types of air conditioners and fans, but most users believe that the hot air or cold air generated by the current air conditioners is unevenly distributed in the room or enclosed space, and has certain distribution limitations. In addition, the fans used in the indoor unit of the air conditioner are mainly centrifugal fans and cross-flow fans. However, centrifugal fans and cross-flow fans have the following problems: Since the centrifugal fan needs dozens of large-volume blades to increase the wind pressure and air volume, the centrifugal fan is very noisy, and when the centrifugal fan is used in the indoor unit of the vertical air conditioner, the air needs to make two 90° turns from entering the centrifugal fan to being sent out of the air conditioner, and each direction turn will cause air volume loss; although the cross-flow fan has lower noise, the wind pressure is too small and the air supply distance is short. In addition, the overall volume of the cross-flow fan is large, while the actual effective volume is small, resulting in space waste. Summary of the invention

[0064] Figure 1 The present invention is a schematic diagram of air supply of a neutral air conditioner indoor unit using a centrifugal fan in the prior art. Figure 1The two arrows in the figure show the direction of air flow during the air supply process of the centrifugal fan 200 when applied to the indoor unit of a vertical air conditioner. The centrifugal fan 200 in the prior art needs to make two 90° turns from air intake to air discharge when applied to the indoor unit of a vertical air conditioner, and each turn is accompanied by a large amount of air volume loss. In addition, the centrifugal fan 200 generally needs dozens of large-volume blades to increase the wind pressure and air volume. When the centrifugal fan 200 is working, the blades rotate and produce friction or impact with the air. The blades of the centrifugal fan 200 are wide and thick, so when the motor of the centrifugal fan 200 runs at a high speed, very loud noise is generated. In addition, cross-flow fans are also commonly used in the prior art, but although the cross-flow fan has low noise, the wind pressure is too small and the air supply distance is short; and the overall volume of the cross-flow fan is large, while the actual effective volume is small, resulting in space waste. This embodiment provides a vertical air conditioner indoor unit, which is provided with a laminar flow fan, and laminar air supply is achieved through the viscosity effect. The air supply process has low noise, high air volume, and high wind pressure, which effectively improves the user experience.

Figures 2 to 20 As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 may generally include: a housing 310 , two laminar flow fans 100 and two laminar flow motors 20 .

[0066] The shell 310 defines a cavity inside, and the upper and lower parts of the shell 310 are provided with air outlets 320, and the middle part is provided with an air inlet 330. Two laminar flow fans 100 are respectively arranged inside the cavities corresponding to the upper and lower air outlets 320, and the laminar flow fan 100 comprises: a plurality of annular discs 10, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other and have the same central axis, and the centers of the plurality of annular discs 10 jointly form an air inlet channel 11, and the air in the cavity enters the gaps between the plurality of annular discs 10 through the air inlet channel 11. Two laminar flow motors 20 are respectively connected to the two laminar flow fans 100, and the laminar flow motors 20 are configured to drive the plurality of annular discs to rotate, so that the air boundary layer 13 near the surface of the plurality of annular discs rotates and moves from the inside to the outside, thereby forming laminar wind to be blown out from the air outlet 320.

[0067] Specifically, the laminar flow motor 20 drives the plurality of annular discs to rotate so that the plurality of annular discs contact the air between each other and move relative to each other, thereby causing the air boundary layer 13 near the surface of the plurality of annular discs to rotate from the inside to the outside due to the viscosity effect and to form laminar wind. The gaps between the plurality of annular discs form a plurality of exhaust ports 12, each of which can achieve 360° air supply, and the laminar wind discharged from the exhaust ports 12 is blown out to the environment outside the indoor unit 300 of the vertical air conditioner through the air outlet 320. The laminar flow fan can achieve 360° air supply, but the air outlet 320 can be set according to actual conditions, and can achieve four-sided air supply, three-sided air supply, two-sided air supply or single-sided air supply.

[0068] The housing 310 may be provided with an air outlet 320 around the laminar flow fan 100 at its upper and / or lower part to realize four-sided air supply, i.e., 360° air supply. Alternatively, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 may further include: at least one wind shield, which is arranged outside at least one laminar flow fan 100 and has a notch 373; the housing 310 is provided with an air outlet 320 at a position corresponding to the notch 373. According to the size of the notch 373 and the corresponding setting of the air outlet 320, three-sided air supply, two-sided air supply or three-sided air supply may be realized. It should be noted that the air outlets of the upper and lower parts may be arranged the same or different, for example, the upper and lower parts may both be provided with 360° air supply, or the upper part may be provided with 360° air supply, and the lower part may be provided with three-sided air supply, two-sided air supply or single-sided air supply, etc.

[0069] The vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 may also include an evaporator, which is arranged inside the cavity corresponding to the air inlet 330 and is configured to perform heat exchange on the air entering the cavity through the air inlet 330. The evaporator may be arranged between the two laminar fans 100, and may specifically be a U-shaped evaporator 381 or a flat evaporator 382, ​​etc. In addition, a water receiving tray (not shown in the figure) may be provided below the various evaporators to receive the condensed water generated by the evaporator. The housing 310 may include: a front panel 311, a rear housing 312, a top plate 313 and a bottom plate 314, wherein the rear housing 312 includes a rear panel 315 and two side panels 316. An air guide plate 321 may be provided at the air outlet 320 of the housing 310 to adjust the air outlet direction of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300. The air inlet 330 of the housing 310 may be provided in the form of an air inlet grille, which can inhale the indoor air into the cavity from different directions and filter the air. The vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 may further include an air induction ring 360 configured to guide the air entering the cavity through the air inlet 330 into the air inlet channel 11. Specifically, two air induction rings 360 may be provided, respectively provided between the evaporator and the two laminar flow fans 100, and the air entering the cavity through the air inlet 330 first exchanges heat through the evaporator, and the heat-exchanged air is guided into the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar flow fan 100 through the air induction ring 360.

[0070] like Fig. 20 As shown, the laminar flow fan 100 may further include: a driving disc 30 and a connecting member. The driving disc 30 is arranged in parallel at intervals on one side of the plurality of annular discs 10. The connecting member penetrates the driving disc 30 and the plurality of annular discs 10 to connect the plurality of annular discs 10 to the driving disc 30. Fig.23 As shown, the connecting member can be a connecting piece 40. The laminar flow motor 20 can also be configured to directly drive the driving disc 30 to rotate, and then the driving disc 30 drives the multiple annular discs 10 to rotate. That is to say, the laminar flow motor 20 mentioned above is configured to drive the multiple annular discs 10 to rotate, which depends on the laminar flow motor 20 first driving the driving disc 30 to rotate, and then the driving disc 30 drives the multiple annular discs 10 to rotate. In a specific embodiment, the radius of the driving disc 30 is the same as the outer diameter of the multiple annular discs 10, and can be set in a certain range, such as 170㎜ to 180㎜, so as to constrain the horizontal occupied volume of the laminar flow fan 100, and cooperate with the number of annular discs 10 and the spacing between two adjacent annular discs 10 to constrain the longitudinal thickness of the laminar flow fan 100, which can effectively constrain the overall occupied volume of the laminar flow fan 100. It should be noted that the inner diameter of the annular disc 10 refers to the radius of its inner circumference; the outer diameter refers to the radius of its outer circumference. The specific value of the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 is only an example and is not intended to limit the present invention.

[0071] Several specific embodiments of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 are introduced below:

[0072] Embodiment 1: Figures 2 to 4As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with two U-shaped evaporators 381 placed vertically up and down, the cross section of the U-shaped evaporator 381 is U-shaped, and the U-shaped opening faces the front panel 311. The air inlet 330 is provided on the rear panel 315 and the two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312, that is, the air enters from three sides. In other words, the two U-shaped evaporators 381 are arranged corresponding to the air inlet 330, and the air entering the cavity from the air inlet 330 can pass through the two U-shaped evaporators 381 for heat exchange. A first partition 383 is also provided in front of the two U-shaped evaporators 381 to prevent the air after heat exchange from flowing to the front of the cavity. The first partition 383 of this embodiment is in the shape of a flat plate. A second partition 384 can also be provided between the two U-shaped evaporators 381 to prevent the two U-shaped evaporators 381 from affecting each other. The air after heat exchange enters the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar flow fan 100 through the guiding effect of the air induction ring 360, and then enters between the multiple annular discs of the laminar flow fan 100. The housing 310 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with an air outlet 320 at its upper and lower parts around the laminar flow fan 100. Specifically, the front panel 311 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment, the rear panel 315 of the rear shell 312, and the upper and lower parts of the two side panels 316 are all provided with air outlets 320, and the laminar air formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlet 320, which can realize 360° air supply at both the upper and lower parts.

The air inlet 330 is provided on the rear panel 315 and two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312, that is, air is inlet from three sides. In other words, the U-shaped evaporator 381 is provided corresponding to the air inlet 330, and the air entering the cavity from the air inlet 330 can all be heat exchanged through the U-shaped evaporator 381. A first baffle 383 is also provided in front of the U-shaped evaporator 381 to prevent the air after heat exchange from flowing to the front of the cavity. The first baffle 383 of this embodiment is in the shape of a flat plate. The air after heat exchange enters the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar fan 100 through the guiding effect of the air induction ring 360, and then enters between the multiple annular discs of the laminar fan 100. In this embodiment, two wind shields can be provided, which are respectively provided outside the two laminar flow fans 100, and both are wind shields 371. The outer side of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100 that is not blocked by the wind shield 371 is the notch 373. Since the wind shield 371 is provided with notches 373 on the front side and left and right sides of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100, the front panel 311 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 and the upper and lower parts of the two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312 are provided with air outlets 320, and the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlets 320, so that air can be supplied from three sides of the upper and lower parts.

[0074] Embodiment 3: Figures 8 to 10As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with two flat plate evaporators 382 placed vertically up and down, and the two flat plate evaporators 382 are parallel to the front panel 311. The air inlet 330 is arranged on the rear panel 315 of the rear shell 312, that is, the air is inletted from one side. In other words, the two flat plate evaporators 382 are arranged corresponding to the air inlet 330, and the air entering the cavity from the air inlet 330 can pass through the two flat plate evaporators 382 for heat exchange. A first partition 383 is also arranged in front of the flat plate evaporator 382 to prevent the air after heat exchange from flowing to the front of the cavity. The first partition 383 of this embodiment is U-shaped, and the U-shaped opening faces the two flat plate evaporators 382. A second partition 384 can also be arranged between the two flat plate evaporators 382 to prevent the two flat plate evaporators 382 from affecting each other. The air after heat exchange enters the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar fan 100 through the guiding effect of the air induction ring 360, and then enters between the multiple annular discs of the laminar fan 100. In this embodiment, two wind shields can be provided, which are respectively provided outside the two laminar flow fans 100, and both are wind shields 371. The outer side of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100 that is not blocked by the wind shield 371 is the notch 373. Since the wind shield 371 is provided with notches 373 on the front side and left and right sides of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100, the front panel 311 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 and the upper and lower parts of the two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312 are provided with air outlets 320, and the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlets 320, so that air can be supplied from three sides of the upper and lower parts.

[0075] Embodiment 4: Figures 11 to 13As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with a single flat plate evaporator 382, ​​which is placed vertically inside the cavity and parallel to the front panel 311. The air inlet 330 is provided on the rear panel 315 of the rear shell 312, that is, the air is inletted from one side. In other words, the flat plate evaporator 382 is provided corresponding to the air inlet 330, and the air entering the cavity from the air inlet 330 can all be heat exchanged through the flat plate evaporator 382. A first baffle 383 is also provided in front of the flat plate evaporator 382 to prevent the air after heat exchange from flowing to the front of the cavity. The first baffle 383 of this embodiment is U-shaped, and the U-shaped opening faces the flat plate evaporator 382. The air after heat exchange enters the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar fan 100 through the guiding effect of the air induction ring 360, and then enters between the multiple annular discs of the laminar fan 100. In this embodiment, two windshields may be provided, which are respectively provided outside the two laminar flow fans 100, and both are windshield shells 372, and the outer side of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100 that is not blocked by the windshield shell 372 is the notch 373. Since the windshield shell 372 is only provided with the notch 373 on the front side of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is only provided with the air outlet 320 at the upper and lower parts of the front panel 311, and the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlet 320, so that the upper and lower parts can be supplied with air on one side.

[0076] Embodiment 5: Figures 14 to 16 As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with two flat plate evaporators 382, ​​and the two flat plate evaporators 382 are placed vertically in the cavity and parallel to the two side panels 316. The air inlet 330 is provided on the two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312, that is, the air enters from both sides. In other words, the two flat plate evaporators 382 are arranged corresponding to the air inlet 330, and the air entering the cavity from the air inlet 330 can pass through the two flat plate evaporators 382 for heat exchange. The front and rear of the two flat plate evaporators 382 are also provided with a first baffle 383, which can prevent the air after heat exchange from flowing to the front and rear of the cavity. The first baffle 383 of this embodiment is in the shape of a flat plate. The air after heat exchange enters the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar fan 100 through the guiding effect of the air induction ring 360, and then enters between the multiple annular discs of the laminar fan 100. The housing 310 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with air outlets 320 at its upper and lower parts around the laminar flow fan 100. Specifically, the front panel 311 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment, the rear panel 315 of the rear housing 312, and the upper and lower parts of the two side panels 316 are provided with air outlets 320, and the laminar flow formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlets 320, so that 360° air supply can be achieved at both the upper and lower parts.

[0077] Example 6: Figures 17 to 19As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 of this embodiment is provided with two flat plate evaporators 382, ​​and the two flat plate evaporators 382 are placed vertically in the cavity and parallel to the two side panels 316. The air inlet 330 is provided on the two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312, that is, the air enters from both sides. In other words, the two flat plate evaporators 382 are arranged corresponding to the air inlet 330, and the air entering the cavity from the air inlet 330 can pass through the two flat plate evaporators 382 for heat exchange. The front and rear of the two flat plate evaporators 382 are also provided with a first baffle 383, which can prevent the air after heat exchange from flowing to the front and rear of the cavity. The first baffle 383 of this embodiment is in the shape of a flat plate. The air after heat exchange enters the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar fan 100 through the guiding effect of the air induction ring 360, and then enters between the multiple annular discs of the laminar fan 100. In this embodiment, two wind shields can be provided, which are respectively provided outside the two laminar flow fans 100, and both are wind shields 371. The outer side of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100 that is not blocked by the wind shield 371 is the notch 373. Since the wind shield 371 is provided with notches 373 on the front side and left and right sides of the periphery of the laminar flow fan 100, the front panel 311 of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 and the upper and lower parts of the two side panels 316 of the rear shell 312 are provided with air outlets 320, and the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 is blown out from the air outlets 320, so that air can be supplied from three sides of the upper and lower parts.

[0078] The windshield in the above embodiment, whether it is the windshield plate 371 or the windshield shell 372, the notch 373 is arranged corresponding to the air outlet 320. For example, for each laminar flow fan 100, the windshield plate 371 can make the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 be discharged from three sides, and three air outlets 320 are arranged therein; the windshield shell 372 can make the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 be discharged from one side, and one air outlet 320 is arranged therein. The windshield can ensure that the laminar wind formed by the laminar flow fan 100 will not be blown to other places in the cavity except through the air outlet 320, so as to avoid affecting the normal operation of other components in the cavity.

[0079] like Fig. 20As shown, the centers of the multiple annular discs 10 jointly form an air inlet channel 11 to allow air outside the laminar fan 100 to enter. The gaps between the multiple annular discs 10 form multiple exhaust ports 12 for the laminar wind to blow out. The process of the air boundary layer 13 rotating from the inside to the outside to form laminar wind is a centrifugal motion, so the speed when leaving the exhaust port 12 is greater than the speed when entering the air inlet channel 11. The pressure difference between the exhaust port 12 of the laminar fan 100 and the inlet of the air inlet channel 11 is the wind pressure. The multiple exhaust ports 12 formed by the gaps between the multiple annular discs 10 can enable the laminar fan 100 to achieve 360° uniform air supply, avoid various discomfort symptoms caused by the direct blowing of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300, and further enhance the user experience.

[0080] The air supply principle of the laminar flow fan 100 is mainly derived from the "Tesla turbine" discovered by Nikola Tesla. The Tesla turbine mainly uses the "laminar boundary layer effect" or "viscous effect" of the fluid to achieve the purpose of doing work on the "turbine disc". The laminar flow fan 100 of this embodiment drives the driving disc 30 through the laminar flow motor 20, and the driving disc 30 drives multiple annular discs 10 to rotate at high speed. The air in the intervals between the annular discs 10 contacts and moves with each other. Then, the air boundary layer 13 close to the surface of each annular disc 10 is driven by the rotating annular disc 10 to rotate from the inside to the outside to form a laminar wind due to the viscous shear force τ.

[0081] Fig. 22 The diagram shows the viscous shear force distribution τ(y) and velocity distribution u(y) on the air boundary layer 13. The viscous shear force on the air boundary layer 13 is actually the resistance generated by each annular disk 10 on the air boundary layer 13. Fig. 22 The horizontal axis in refers to the distance in the moving direction of the air boundary layer 13, and the vertical axis refers to the height of the air boundary layer 13 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction. e is the air velocity at each point in the air boundary layer 13, δ is the thickness of the air boundary layer 13, τ w is the viscous shear force at the surface of the annular disk 10. The variable y in τ(y) and u(y) refers to the height of the cross section of the air boundary layer 13 in the direction perpendicular to the moving direction, and L is the distance between a certain point on the inner circumference of the annular disk 10 and a certain point on the surface of the annular disk 10. Then τ(y) is the distribution of the viscous shear force when the height of the cross section of the air boundary layer 13 is y at the distance L; u(y) is the velocity distribution when the height of the cross section of the air boundary layer 13 is y at the distance L.

[0082] Figure 23 to Figure 26 The driving disk 30 of the laminar flow fan 100 shown in the figure has a groove 32 formed at its center toward the plurality of annular disks 10 , and the laminar flow motor 20 is fixedly disposed in the groove 32 . Fig. 27 yes Fig.23 The schematic diagram of the connection between the laminar flow fan 100 and the laminar flow motor 20 is shown in FIG. Fig.28 3 is an exploded schematic diagram of the laminar flow motor 20, the fixing plate 340 and the fixing frame 350. Fig. 27 and Fig.28 As shown, the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 may also include: a fixing plate 340 and a fixing frame 350. A plurality of reinforcing ribs 341 are provided on one side of the fixing plate 340, and a plurality of slots 342 are provided on the other side. The reinforcing ribs 341 can effectively improve the firmness of the fixing plate 340. The fixing frame 350 is provided with a plurality of claws 351 corresponding to the plurality of slots 342 on the side facing the fixing plate 340, so that the laminar flow motor 20 can be fixed between the fixing frame 350 and the fixing plate 340 after the plurality of claws 351 are respectively screwed to the plurality of slots 342, wherein a through hole 352 is provided at the center of the fixing frame 350, and the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 is fixed to the driving disc 30 after passing through the through hole 352. Figure 23 to Figure 26 In the laminar flow fan 100 shown, a groove 32 is formed at the center of the driving disc 30 toward the plurality of annular discs 10 , and the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 is fixedly disposed in the groove 32 of the driving disc 30 after passing through the through hole 352 .

[0083] Fig.29 3 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the laminar flow fan 100 having a driving disk 30 with a conical protrusion 31 and the laminar flow motor 20. Fig.30 yes Fig.29 A schematic structural diagram of the middle laminar flow fan 100 from another perspective, Fig.31 yes Fig.29 Schematic diagram of a cross-section of a mid-flow fan 100 . Figure 29 to Figure 31 The surface of the driving disk 30 of the laminar flow fan 100 facing the laminar flow motor 20 is flat, and the surface facing the plurality of annular disks 10 has a conical protrusion 31 to guide the air flow entering the laminar flow fan 100 and assist in forming laminar wind.

[0084] The main function of the driving disc 30 is to fix the laminar flow motor 20 and connect with the multiple annular discs 10 through a connecting piece, so that the multiple annular discs 10 can be driven to rotate when the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disc 30 to rotate. Figure 29 to Figure 31 In the laminar flow fan shown, since the surface of the driving disc 30 facing the laminar flow motor 20 is a plane, the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 is fixedly disposed on the plane side of the driving disc 30 after passing through the through hole 352. Figure 29 to Figure 31The driving disk 30 of the laminar fan 100 shown has a conical protrusion 31 on the surface facing the multiple annular disks 10, which can effectively guide the air entering the laminar fan 100 through the air inlet channel 11 into the gaps between the annular disks 10, thereby improving the efficiency of forming laminar wind.

[0085] In a preferred embodiment, the connecting member is a connecting piece 40, and the cross section of the connecting piece 40 has two curves arranged in sequence along the direction of rotation of the annular disc 10, and the chord length of the two curves is linearly related to the air volume generated by the laminar flow fan 100. The connecting piece 40 can be provided in plurality, and evenly spaced through the driving disc 30 and the plurality of annular discs 10. The plurality of connecting pieces 40 evenly spaced through the driving disc 30 and the plurality of annular discs 10 can ensure a stable connection between the driving disc 30 and the plurality of annular discs 10, thereby ensuring that when the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disc 30 to rotate, the driving disc 30 can stably drive the plurality of annular discs 10 to rotate, thereby improving the working reliability of the laminar flow fan 100.

[0086] It should be noted that the two curves 41 and 42 can be arcs, non-arc arcs, straight lines, etc., and a straight line can be regarded as a special curve. When the distance between the two endpoints of the curve 41 is the same as the distance between the two endpoints of the curve 42, the length of the chord 51 can be the distance between the two endpoints of the curve 41 or the curve 42. When the distance between the two endpoints of the curve 41 is different from the distance between the two endpoints of the curve 42, if the two ends of the curve 41 and the curve 42 do not intersect, the length of the chord 51 can be the length of the line connecting the midpoints of the cross section of the connecting piece 40 excluding the curves 41 and 42; if the curve 41 and the curve 42 intersect at only one end, the length of the chord 51 can be the length of the line connecting the midpoint of the cross section of the connecting piece 40 excluding the curves 41 and 42 and the intersecting endpoints.

[0087] like Fig.31 As shown, the connecting piece 40 can be a double arc blade 401, whose cross section has two arcs arranged in sequence along the direction of rotation of the annular disk 10: an inner arc 41 and a back arc 42, and the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42 both protrude in the direction of rotation of the annular disk 10, have the same center and are arranged in parallel. Fig.31 In fact, what is shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram when looking down at the laminar flow fan 100. The laminar flow motor 20 drives the annular disk 10 to rotate clockwise, and the convex directions of the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 are consistent with the rotation direction of the annular disk 10. In some other embodiments, the laminar flow motor 20 can also drive the annular disk 10 to rotate counterclockwise, and the convex directions of the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 can be consistent with the rotation direction of the annular disk 10. Fig.31 The opposite of what is shown in .

[0088] Fig.32 yes Fig.31A schematic diagram showing the relationship between the length of the chord line 51 of the middle connecting piece 40 and the wind volume and wind pressure. Fig.31 The connecting piece 40 of the middle laminar flow fan 100 is a double arc blade 401 , the distance between the two end points of the inner arc 41 is the same as the distance between the two end points of the back arc 42 , and the length of the chord 51 can be the distance between the two end points of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42 . Fig.32 The middle horizontal axis Bladechord refers to the length of the chord 51 of the connecting piece 40 of the laminar flow fan 100, the left vertical axis Mass flow rate refers to the air volume, and the right vertical axis Pressure rise refers to the wind pressure. Specifically, Fig.32 The diagram shows the relationship between the length of the chord 51 and the air volume and air pressure when the outer diameter, inner diameter, number of layers, spacing, thickness, installation angle of the connecting piece 40, and rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 remain unchanged. The installation angle of the connecting piece 40 of the present embodiment can be: on the same cross section of the connecting piece 40 and the annular disk 10, the angle formed by the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51.

[0089] When all the above-mentioned parameters remain unchanged, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 is 175 mm, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115 mm, the number of layers of the annular disk 10 is 8, the spacing of the annular disk 10 is 13.75 mm, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2 mm, the installation angle of the connecting piece 40 is 25.5°, and the speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000 rpm (revolutions per minute). It can be found that after increasing the length of the chord 51, the air volume and air pressure are greatly improved, and are basically linear. Considering that the internal space of the vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 is limited, the overall occupied volume of the laminar flow fan 100 needs to be constrained to a certain extent. When the outer diameter and inner diameter of the annular disk 10 are constant, although the longer the chord 51 is, the greater the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 are, the length of the chord 51 must be constrained to a certain extent to prevent the connecting sheet 10 from excessively penetrating the annular disk 10, which would cause the stability of the laminar flow fan 100 to decrease. In short, the length of the chord 51 can be set to the maximum achievable range, so that the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 can meet the user's usage requirements.

[0090] Therefore, in the above preferred embodiment, under the premise of ensuring the stability of the laminar flow fan 100, the length of the chord 51 is set to the maximum range of 40 mm to 42 mm. Moreover, when the length of the chord 51 is set to 42 mm, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 can reach 1741 m 3 / h, the wind pressure can reach 118.9Pa, which can fully meet the user's usage requirements. At this time, the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 60mm, and the length of the chord 51 is set to 42mm, so that the two ends of the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42 are about 9mm away from the inner circumference and the outer circumference of the annular disk 10, respectively. Under the premise of ensuring the stability of the laminar flow fan 100, the length of the chord 51 is set to the maximum achievable range, so that the air volume and wind pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 can meet the user's usage requirements.

[0091] Fig.33 yes Fig.31 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the installation angle α of the middle connecting piece 40 and the air volume and air pressure. Fig.31 The connecting piece 40 of the middle laminar flow fan 100 can be a double arc blade 401. The installation angle α of the connecting piece 40 actually refers to: on the same cross-section of the double arc blade 401 and the annular disk 10, the angle formed by the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51. Fig.33 The middle horizontal axis Metal angle (α) refers to the installation angle of the double arc blade 401 of the laminar flow fan 100, that is, the angle formed by the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51 on the same cross section of the double arc blade 401 and the annular disk 10. The left vertical axis Mass flow rate refers to the air volume, and the right vertical axis Pressure rise refers to the wind pressure. Specifically, Fig.33 The diagram shows the relationship between the installation angle α and the air volume and air pressure when the outer diameter, inner diameter, number of layers, spacing, thickness, chord length of the double arc blade 401, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 remain unchanged. The chord length of the double arc blade 401 of this embodiment can be the straight-line distance between the two end points of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42.

[0092] When all the above-mentioned parameters remain unchanged, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar fan 100 is 175㎜, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115㎜, the number of layers of the annular disk 10 is 8, the spacing between the annular disks 10 is 13.75㎜, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2㎜, the chord length of the double circular blade 401 is 35㎜, and the rotation speed of the laminar motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute). At this time, considering the comprehensive air volume and wind pressure, the installation angle α of the double circular blade 401 can be set to -5° to 55°. It should be noted that, when the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51 in the direction of rotation of the annular disk 10 are sequentially, the installation angle α is a positive number; when the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51 in the direction of rotation of the annular disk 10 are sequentially, the installation angle α is a negative number.

[0093] Fig.34 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a laminar flow fan 100 having an aero blade 402, Fig.35 yes Fig.34 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the installation angle α of the aviation blade 402 of the middle laminar flow fan 100 and the air volume and wind pressure. In a specific embodiment, the connecting piece 40 can also be an aviation blade 402. The cross section of the aviation blade 402 has a double arc protruding in the direction of rotation of the annular disc 10, and the double arc includes an inner arc 41 and a back arc 42 sequentially arranged along the direction of rotation of the annular disc 10, and the inner arc 41 and the back arc 42 have different centers and intersect at both ends. Fig.34 In fact, what is shown is a cross-sectional schematic diagram when looking down at the laminar flow fan 100. The laminar flow motor 20 drives the annular disk 10 to rotate clockwise, and the convex directions of the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 are consistent with the rotation direction of the annular disk 10. In some other embodiments, the laminar flow motor 20 can also drive the annular disk 10 to rotate counterclockwise, and the convex directions of the back arc 42 and the inner arc 41 can be consistent with the rotation direction of the annular disk 10. Fig.34 The opposite of what is shown in .

[0094] Fig.35 The installation angle α of the aviation blade 402 actually refers to: on the same cross-section of the aviation blade 402 and the annular disk 10, the angle formed by the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51. Fig.35The middle horizontal axis Metal angle (α) refers to the installation angle of the aviation blade 402 of the laminar flow fan 100, that is, the angle formed by the chord 51 between the two end points of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42 and the outer diameter 52 of the annular disk 10 passing through the midpoint of the chord 51 on the same cross section of the aviation blade 402 and the annular disk 10. The left vertical axis Mass flow rate refers to the air volume, and the right vertical axis Pressure rise refers to the wind pressure. Specifically, Fig.35 The diagram shows the relationship between the installation angle α and the air volume and air pressure when the outer diameter, inner diameter, number of layers, spacing, thickness, chord length of the aviation blade 402, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 remain unchanged. The chord length of the aviation blade 402 of this embodiment can be the straight line distance between the two end points of the inner arc 41 or the back arc 42, that is, the length of the chord line 51.

[0095] When all the above-mentioned parameters remain unchanged, for example, in a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar fan 100 is 175㎜, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115㎜, the number of layers of the annular disk 10 is 8, the spacing between the annular disks 10 is 13.75㎜, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2㎜, the chord length of the aviation blade 402 is 35㎜, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute). At this time, considering the comprehensive air volume and wind pressure, the installation angle α of the aviation blade 402 can be set to -50° to 15°.

[0096] Fig.36 Schematic diagram of the connection between a laminar flow fan 100 with a plurality of annular discs 10 with gradually varying spacing and a laminar flow motor 20. Fig.37 yes Fig.36 A schematic diagram of the connection between the laminar flow fan 100 and the laminar flow motor 20 from another perspective, Fig.38 yes Fig.36 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the gradual change in the spacing between the multiple annular disks 10 of the middle laminar flow fan 100 and the air volume and air pressure.

[0097] like Fig.36 and Fig.37As shown, the connecting member of the laminar flow fan 100 can also be a connecting rod 60. The connecting rod 60 can also be set to multiple, and evenly spaced to penetrate the driving disc 30 and the multiple annular discs 10 to ensure that the connection relationship between the driving disc 30 and the multiple annular discs 10 is stable, thereby ensuring that when the laminar flow motor 20 drives the driving disc 30 to rotate, the driving disc 30 can stably drive the multiple annular discs 10 to rotate, thereby improving the working reliability of the laminar flow fan 100. As the spacing between two adjacent annular discs 10 gradually increases from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 will be effectively increased, so that the air outlet of the laminar flow fan 100 meets the user's use requirements. In a preferred embodiment, the spacing between two adjacent annular discs 10 has the same change, that is, the spacing between two adjacent annular discs 10 increases by the same value from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side.

[0098] Fig.38 The middle horizontal axis "shrinking uniform expanding Plate distance increase" refers to the change in the distance between two adjacent annular discs 10 along the direction from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side, the left vertical axis "Mass flow rate" refers to the air volume, and the right vertical axis "Pressure rise" refers to the wind pressure. In addition, the distance between two adjacent annular discs 10 has the same change, that is, the distance between two adjacent annular discs 10 increases or decreases by the same value.

[0099] Specifically, Fig.38 The figure shows the relationship between the gradual change of the spacing between the multiple annular disks 10 and the air volume and air pressure when the outer diameter, inner diameter, number, thickness of the annular disks 10 of the laminar fan 100 and the speed of the laminar motor 20 remain unchanged. Fig.38 As shown, when all the above-mentioned parameters remain unchanged, the distance between each two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually changes from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, which has a greater impact on the air volume and a small impact on the wind pressure. When the change in the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 along the direction from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side represented by the abscissa axis is a positive number, it means that the distance between each two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually increases from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side; when the change in the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 along the direction from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side represented by the abscissa axis is a negative number, it means that the distance between each two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually decreases from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side.

[0100] Depend on Fig.38It can be seen that when the distance between each two adjacent annular discs 10 in the plurality of annular discs 10 varies by -1 mm, 1 mm, and 2 mm, the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 are greatly improved. Taking the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 into comprehensive consideration, the distance between each two adjacent annular discs 10 in the plurality of annular discs 10 is set to gradually increase from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side. In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar fan 100 is 175 mm, the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 is 115 mm, the number of the annular disks 10 is 8, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2 mm, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000 rpm (revolutions per minute). At this time, taking into account the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100, the spacing between two adjacent annular disks 10 among the 8 annular disks 10 can be set to 13.75 mm, 14.75 mm, 15.75 mm, 16.75 mm, 17.75 mm, 18.75 mm, and 19.75 mm from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, that is, the spacing between two adjacent annular disks 10 increases by 1 mm from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side. It should be noted that the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 among the multiple annular disks 10 gradually increases from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, which actually means that the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 gradually increases along the direction of airflow in the air inlet channel 11.

[0101] Fig.39 is a partial cross-sectional view of a laminar flow fan 100 with a plurality of annular disks 10 having gradually changing inner diameters. Fig.40 yes Fig.39 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the gradual change of the inner diameter of the multiple annular discs 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 and the air volume and air pressure. As the inner diameter of the multiple annular discs 10 gradually decreases from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 will be effectively increased, so that the air output of the laminar flow fan 100 meets the user's usage requirements. In a preferred embodiment, the inner diameter change of two adjacent annular discs 10 is the same, that is, the inner diameter of the multiple annular discs 10 decreases by the same amount from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side.

[0102] Fig.40 The middle horizontal axis "shrinking uniform expanding inner radius increase" refers to the change in the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 and the inner diameter of the adjacent annular disk 10 below, the left vertical axis "Mass flow rate" refers to the air volume, and the right vertical axis "Pressure rise" refers to the wind pressure. Specifically, Fig.40The figure shows the relationship between the gradual change of the inner diameter of the plurality of annular disks 10 and the air volume and air pressure when the outer diameter, spacing, number, thickness of the annular disks 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 and the speed of the laminar flow motor 20 remain unchanged. Fig.40 As shown, when all the above-mentioned parameters remain unchanged, the gradual change of the inner diameter of the plurality of annular disks 10 from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side has a greater impact on the air volume, but has a small impact on the air pressure. When the amount of change between the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 represented by the abscissa axis and the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 adjacent below is a positive number, it means that the inner diameter of the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually increases from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side; when the amount of change between the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 represented by the abscissa axis and the inner diameter of the annular disk 10 adjacent below is a negative number, it means that the inner diameter of the plurality of annular disks 10 gradually decreases from one side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side.

[0103] Depend on Fig.40 It can be seen that when the inner diameter of the plurality of annular discs 10 gradually decreases from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 increases and the air pressure decreases slightly; when the inner diameter of the plurality of annular discs 10 gradually increases from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side, the air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 increases slightly and the air volume decreases a lot. Therefore, considering the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 comprehensively, the inner diameter of the plurality of annular discs 10 is set to gradually decrease from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 is 175 mm, the spacing between the annular disks 10 is 13.75 mm, the number of the annular disks 10 is 8, the thickness of the annular disks 10 is 2 mm, and the rotation speed of the laminar flow motor 20 is 1000 rpm (revolutions per minute). At this time, considering the air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan 100 comprehensively, the inner diameter of each annular disk 10 can be set to a change of -5 mm with respect to the inner diameter of the adjacent annular disk 10 below. That is, the inner diameters of the eight annular disks 10 can be set to 115mm, 110mm, 105mm, 100mm, 95mm, 90mm, 85mm, and 80mm, respectively, from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side. The inner diameter of each annular disk 10 is 5mm smaller than the inner diameter of the adjacent annular disk 10 below. It should be noted that the spacing of the annular disks 10 mentioned above specifically refers to the spacing between two adjacent annular disks 10. It should also be emphasized that the inner diameters of the multiple annular disks 10 gradually decrease from the side away from the driving disk 30 to the other side, which actually means that the inner diameters of the multiple annular disks 10 gradually decrease along the direction of the airflow in the air inlet channel 11.

[0105] Fig.411 is a schematic diagram of the central angle of a line connecting the inner and outer diameters of a plurality of annular disks 10 of a laminar flow fan 100 in which the annular disks 10 are arc-shaped disks on the same longitudinal section passing through the central axis. Fig.42 yes Fig.41 Schematic diagram of the relationship between the central angle of the circle and the air volume and pressure. Fig.41 Each annular disc 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 is an arc-shaped disc that gradually approaches the driving disc 30 from the center to the edge and bulges toward one side of the driving disc 30. Compared with a flat disc, an arc-shaped disc can make the angle at which the external air enters the laminar flow fan 100 more consistent with the fluid flow, thereby being more conducive to the external air entering the laminar flow fan 100 and effectively reducing the air volume loss. In addition, the inner diameter of the plurality of annular discs 10 gradually decreases from one side away from the driving disc 30 to the other side, and the inner and outer diameter lines of the plurality of annular discs 10 on the same longitudinal section passing through the central axis form a central angle θ.

[0106] Fig.42 The middle horizontal axis θ refers to the central angle of the line connecting the inner and outer diameters of the plurality of annular disks 10 on the same longitudinal section passing through the central axis, the left longitudinal axis Mass flow rate refers to the air volume, and the right longitudinal axis Pressure rise refers to the air pressure. Specifically, Fig.42 The diagram shows the relationship between the central angle θ and the air volume and air pressure when the outer diameter, number of layers, spacing, thickness of the annular disk 10 of the laminar flow fan 100 and the speed of the laminar flow motor 20 remain unchanged. Fig.42 As shown, when all the above-mentioned parameters remain unchanged, as the central angle θ gradually increases, the air volume of the laminar fan 100 first increases and then decreases, while the wind pressure rises slightly. In a preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the annular disk 10 of the laminar fan 100 is 175㎜, the number of layers of the annular disk 10 is 10, the spacing between the annular disks 10 is 13.75㎜, the thickness of the annular disk 10 is 2㎜, and the rotation speed of the laminar motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute). At this time, considering the comprehensive air volume and wind pressure, the central angle θ of the line connecting the inner and outer diameters of multiple annular disks 10 on the same longitudinal section passing through the central axis can be set to 9° to 30°. And as Fig.42 As shown, when the central angle θ is set to 15°, the air volume of the laminar flow fan 100 reaches a maximum value.

The vertical air conditioner indoor unit 300 is provided with a laminar flow fan 100, which realizes laminar air supply through the viscosity effect.

The laminar flow fan 100 also includes: a driving disc 30, which is arranged in parallel at intervals on one side of the plurality of annular discs 10; and a connecting member, which penetrates the driving disc 30 and the plurality of annular discs 10 to connect the plurality of annular discs 10 to the driving disc 30, and the laminar flow motor 20 is also configured to: directly drive the driving disc 30 to rotate, and then the driving disc 30 drives the plurality of annular discs 10 to rotate. The laminar flow motor 20 is fixed between the fixing frame 350 and the fixing plate 340, wherein a through hole 352 is provided at the center of the fixing frame 350, and the output shaft 21 of the laminar flow motor 20 passes through the through hole 352 and is fixed to the driving disc 30.

The above-mentioned forms of arranging multiple annular discs 10 can effectively increase the air volume of the laminar fan 100, so that the air outlet of the laminar fan 100 meets the user's usage requirements.

The multiple air outlets 12 formed by the gaps between the multiple annular discs 10 can enable the laminar flow fan 100 to achieve 360° air supply, avoiding various discomfort symptoms caused by the direct air supply of the air conditioner, and further improving the user experience.
