DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not intended to limit the present application.

For example, it can be an electrical connection, or it can be the internal connection between two components. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0039] It should be noted that the terms "first, second, and third" in the embodiments of the present application are merely used to distinguish similar objects and do not represent a specific ordering of the objects. It is understood that the terms "first, second, and third" can be interchanged to represent a specific order or precedence where permitted. It should be understood that the objects distinguished by "first, second, and third" can be interchanged where appropriate, such that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than that illustrated or described herein.

[0040] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Figures 1 to 3 The air conditioning system described in the embodiments of the present application is described in detail.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioning system includes: a housing 110 , a heat pipe 120 and a refrigeration device 130 .

[0042] The housing 110 has a first air inlet 111 .

[0043] The heat pipe 120 includes: an evaporation section 121 and a condensation section 122; the evaporation section 121 is arranged in the shell 110, and the evaporation section 121 is located on the side of the first air inlet 111. The evaporation section 121 is used to cool the air from the external environment entering from the first air inlet 111; the condensation section 122 is connected to the evaporation section 121, and the condensation section 122 is arranged outside the shell 110.

[0044] The refrigeration device 130 includes a refrigeration element 131 . The refrigeration element 131 is disposed in the housing 110 , and is configured to cool the air cooled by the evaporation section 121 to a set temperature.

[0045] In the embodiment of the present application, the air from the external environment entering from the first air inlet 111 can be cooled by the evaporation section 121 of the heat pipe 120, that is, the air can be pre-cooled by the evaporation section 121 of the heat pipe 120. At this time, the refrigeration element 131 of the refrigeration device 130 only needs to cool the pre-cooled air to the set temperature, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the air conditioning system.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present application, the housing 110 is an indoor housing 110 of an air-conditioning system.

[0047] Here, the first air inlet 111 is also the fresh air inlet of the air conditioning system. The air conditioning system may further include a fresh air duct. The fresh air duct is connected to the first air inlet 111 and the external environment, and air from the external environment can enter the first air inlet 111 through the fresh air duct.

[0048] Here, as Figure 3 As shown, the housing 110 may also have a second air inlet 112, through which indoor air enters the housing 110; that is, the second air inlet 112 serves as a return air port for the air conditioning system, thereby reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioning system. Of course, in order to ensure that the air entering the room is all air from the external environment, the air conditioning system may be provided with only the first air inlet 111.

[0049] Here, the housing 110 further has an air outlet 113. The air outlet 113 is used to guide air. As an example, the air conditioning system may further include: an air blower 161, which is disposed in the housing 110 and is used to guide air at a set temperature or a target temperature through the air outlet 113.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present application, the evaporation section 121 is arranged inside the shell 110, and the condensation section 122 is arranged outside the shell 110. The working process of the heat pipe 120 is as follows: the fluid medium in the heat pipe 120 absorbs heat and evaporates in the indoor evaporation section 121, and naturally flows to the outdoor condensation section 122 of the heat pipe 120 by thermal pressure, and then liquefies after cooling and heat dissipation in the condensation section 122. The liquefied medium flows back to the evaporation section 121 by gravity, thereby achieving pre-cooling treatment of the air from the external environment entering through the first air inlet 111; since the heat pipe 120 does not require power equipment, the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system is greatly reduced.

[0051] Here, the condensing section 122 can be arranged outdoors and cooled by air in the outdoor environment. Of course, the condensing section 122 can also be cooled by other means.

[0052] For example, the air-conditioning system may further include: a liquid storage tank 151 and a liquid spraying member 152; the liquid storage tank 151 is arranged outside the shell 110, and the liquid storage tank 151 stores heat exchange liquid; the liquid spraying member 152 is arranged outside the shell 110, and the liquid spraying member 152 is used to spray the heat exchange liquid in the liquid storage tank 151 toward the surface of the condensing section 122.

[0053] Here, the heat exchange liquid can be water or other liquids.

[0054] Here, the liquid spraying member 152 may include a nozzle, through which the heat exchange liquid in the liquid storage tank 151 is sprayed toward the surface of the condensing section 122. The number of nozzles is not limited. As an example, the liquid spraying member 152 includes at least two nozzles.

[0055] Here, the air conditioning system may further include a driving member 153, which is disposed outside the housing 110 and is in communication with the liquid storage tank 151 and the liquid spraying member 152, respectively. The driving member 153 is configured to drive the heat exchange liquid in the liquid storage tank 151 to the liquid spraying member 152. The driving member 153 may be a water pump or other structure capable of providing driving force.

[0056] Of course, the air conditioning system may not be provided with the driving member 153. For example, the liquid storage tank 151 may be provided at a higher position so that the heat exchange liquid flows to the liquid spraying member 152 by gravity.

[0057] For another example, the air conditioning system may further include: an exhaust fan 154, which is arranged outside the shell 110, and the exhaust fan 154 is used to blow the air of the external environment to the condensation section 122, so that the condensation section 122 can exchange heat with the air of the external environment.

[0058] Of course, the air conditioning system can be provided with a liquid storage tank 151, a liquid spraying member 152, a driving member 153, and an exhaust fan 154 at the same time. As an example, the air conditioning system can also include: a temperature detection device and a controller. The temperature detection device is used to detect the water inlet temperature of the driving member 153; the controller is used to determine when the water inlet temperature of the driving member 153 detected by the temperature detection device is lower than the wet-bulb temperature of the external environment, so as to control the exhaust fan 154 to stop running when the outdoor environment is relatively humid; and is also used to determine when the water inlet temperature of the driving member 153 detected by the temperature detection device is greater than or equal to the wet-bulb temperature of the external environment, so as to control the exhaust fan 154 to run when the outdoor environment is relatively dry, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of the air conditioning system.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, the structure of the refrigeration device 130 is not limited, as long as the refrigeration element 131 can cool the air cooled by the evaporation section 121 to a set temperature.

[0060] For example, the refrigeration device 130 may also include: a second heat exchange member and a second power member arranged outside the shell 110; the second power member is respectively connected to the second heat exchange member and the refrigeration member 131; at this time, a refrigerant liquid can flow in the refrigeration member 131 and the second heat exchange member; so that the air cooled by the evaporation section 121 can be cooled to a set temperature by the refrigerant liquid.

[0061] Here, the refrigeration element 131 may be an evaporator, the second heat exchange element may be a condenser, and the second power element may be a compressor. Refrigerant may circulate in the refrigeration element 131 and the second heat exchange element.

[0062] Here, the refrigeration element 131 may also be a coil, the second heat exchange element may be an underground water storage element, and the second power element may be a water pump, which pumps cold water from the underground water storage element to the coil.

[0063] Here, the set temperature may be a target temperature, which is the cooling temperature of the air conditioning system. That is, the cooling element 131 of the refrigeration device 130 can cool the air cooled by the evaporation section 121 to the cooling temperature of the air conditioning system.

[0064] Of course, the set temperature can also be lower than the target temperature. In this case, the set temperature can correspond to the target humidity, so that cooling and dehumidification are mainly achieved through the refrigeration element 131 of the refrigeration device 130. In this case, the set temperature can be heated to the target temperature by the other heating device 140. Here, the target humidity can be the dehumidification humidity corresponding to the air conditioning system, or it can be a relatively comfortable humidity corresponding to the target temperature of the air conditioning system.

[0065] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the set temperature corresponds to the target humidity; the shell 110 also has an air outlet 113, and the air-conditioning system may further include: a heating device 140, the heating device 140 includes: a heating element 141; the heating element 141 is arranged in the shell 110, and the heating element 141 is located on the side of the air outlet 113, and the heating element 141 is used to heat the air at the set temperature to the target temperature; so that the air-conditioning system can accurately control dehumidification and cooling; that is, the air-conditioning system can accurately control dehumidification and cooling at the same time.

[0066] In this implementation, the structure of the heating device is not limited, as long as the heating element 141 can heat the air at the set temperature to the target temperature.

[0067] For example, the heating device 140 may further include: a first heat exchange member 142 and a first power member 143 disposed outside the housing 110 ; the first power member 143 is communicated with the first heat exchange member 142 and the heating member 141 , respectively.

[0068] Here, the heating element 141 may be a condenser, the first heat exchange element 142 may be an evaporator, the first power element 143 may be a compressor, and refrigerant may circulate in the heating element 141 and the first heat exchange element 142 .

[0069] Here, the heating device 140 can also be a heat pump system, the first heat exchange element 142 can also be a tubular fin heat exchanger, the first power element 143 can be a heat pump, the heating element 141 can be a tubular structure, and refrigerant can circulate in the heating element 141 and the first heat exchange element 142, and the refrigerant in the first heat exchange element 142 and the heating element 141 can flow through the heat pump.

[0070] In this implementation, when the air-conditioning system further includes: a liquid storage tank 151 and a liquid spraying element 152, the heat exchange liquid that has exchanged heat with the surface of the condensing section 122 can be used to heat the first heat exchange element 142, so that the heat of the condensing section 122 is collected by the first heat exchange element 142, and then the air of the set temperature is heated to the target temperature through the heating element 141 of the heating device 140; thereby achieving effective utilization of the heat of the air-conditioning system and reducing the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system.

[0071] Here, the locations of the condensing section 122 , the first heat exchange element 142 and the liquid storage tank 151 are not limited.

[0072] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the condensing section 122 is arranged at intervals in the height direction on the top side of the first heat exchange member 142, and the liquid storage tank 151 is arranged at intervals in the height direction on the bottom side of the first heat exchange member 142; when the heat exchange liquid in the liquid spraying member 152 is sprayed toward the surface of the condensing section 122, the heat exchange liquid that has exchanged heat with the surface of the condensing section 122 flows through the first heat exchange member 142; the heat exchange liquid that has exchanged heat with the first heat exchange member 142 is collected in the liquid storage tank 151, so as to save the setting space of the air-conditioning system.

[0073] Here, the colder heat exchange liquid is sprayed onto the surface of the condensing section 122 for heat exchange and becomes a hotter heat exchange liquid. The hotter heat exchange liquid flows through the first heat exchange element 142 for heat exchange and becomes a colder heat exchange liquid. The colder heat exchange liquid is collected in the liquid storage tank 151 for cooling the condensing section 122 again, thereby realizing effective heat recycling; it can greatly reduce the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system.

[0074] Of course, the condensing section 122, the first heat exchange element 142 and the liquid storage tank 151 can also be arranged in other ways according to actual needs. In this case, the heat exchange liquid can be led to the first heat exchange element 142 or introduced into the liquid storage tank 151 through a pipeline.

[0075] In some optional implementations of the embodiments of the present application, the air-conditioning system may further include: a filter device 162, which is disposed in the housing 110, and is used to filter the air entering the housing 110, so as to purify the air.

[0076] The air-conditioning system in the embodiment of the present application includes the evaporation section 121 of the heat pipe 120, which can cool the air from the external environment entering from the first air inlet 111. That is, the evaporation section 121 of the heat pipe 120 can pre-cool the air. At this time, the refrigeration element 131 of the refrigeration device 130 only needs to cool the pre-cooled air to the set temperature, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system.

[0077] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included in the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be based on the scope of protection of the claims.
