[0003] When the air conditioner is cooling in summer, if the fresh air system is turned on, the inlet air temperature will be high, and the heat exchanger will remain in the original state, which will cause insufficient cooling of the inlet air, resulting in a relatively high outlet air temperature, causing the indoor ambient temperature to be relatively high, and the air conditioner cannot achieve the purpose of cooling. The same is true when heating, and the actual warming effect cannot be achieved. Therefore, using the original heat exchanger structure to handle fresh air will cause insufficient heat exchange and insufficient heat exchange capacity, resulting in a high outlet air temperature, which cannot achieve the cooling effect and reduces comfort.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] In order to overcome the defect of insufficient heat exchange capacity of fresh air air conditioners in the prior art, the present invention discloses an adjustable flow path, a fresh air air conditioner and a fresh air regulation method to improve the heat exchange efficiency, which is explained below through different embodiments.

[0050] Embodiment 1

[0051] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention discloses an adjustable flow path, which includes a liquid inlet pipe 101 and a gas collecting pipe 102, including a first flow path and a second flow path. The first flow path includes an introduction end 311 and a discharge end 312, the introduction end 311 is connected to the liquid inlet pipe 101, the discharge end 312 is connected to the gas collecting pipe 102, and an adjustment section is provided between the first end and the second end. The second flow path is provided with an introduction pipe 321 and a discharge pipe 322, the introduction pipe 321 connects the liquid inlet pipe 101 and the adjustment section, the discharge pipe 322 connects the adjustment section and the gas collecting pipe 102, the refrigerant flows through the introduction end 311 and the discharge pipe 322 in sequence to form a first adjustment pipeline, and the refrigerant flows through the introduction pipe 321 and the discharge end 312 in sequence to form a second adjustment pipeline.

[0052] The technical solution provided by the present invention is that the first flow path is an integral passage, and the regulating section is arranged between the inlet end 311 and the outlet end 312. The present invention adds a second flow path, and the second flow path is arranged on the regulating section of the first flow path, thereby dividing the first flow path into two sections. The first regulating pipeline is the front section process of the first flow path, and the second regulating pipeline uses the rear section process of the first flow path. Both the first regulating pipeline and the second regulating pipeline shorten the flow length of the refrigerant, because the longer the process, the closer the temperature of the internal refrigerant is to the temperature of the windward surface of the heat exchanger 110, resulting in insufficient heat exchange capacity. It can be seen that shortening the heat exchange process can effectively maintain the temperature and heat exchange capacity of the refrigerant, and the second regulating pipeline also increases the number of flow paths, so that the output of the refrigerant increases. The present invention improves the heat exchange efficiency by the dual effects of increasing the refrigerant flow and shortening the process, thereby coping with the temperature influence caused by the addition of fresh air, and effectively improving the heat exchange capacity and temperature regulation capacity.

[0053] Specifically, the first flow path can adopt the common heat exchange structure of the existing heat exchanger 110, and the second flow path can be directly added on the basis of the existing structure. The regulating section can be set at the half position of the process of the first flow path, so that the heat exchange length and heat exchange effect of the first regulating pipeline and the second regulating pipeline are relatively consistent, which is convenient for operation and monitoring. It can be understood that the inlet pipe 321 and the outlet pipe 322 should be arranged in sequence in front and behind according to the flow direction of the refrigerant.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first flow path is an S-shaped coil, and the inlet pipe 321 and the outlet pipe 322 are straight pipes. The S-shaped coil of the first flow path is the main heat exchange structure, which has a large heat exchange area, a compact structure, and occupies a small space, so that after the airflow passes through, the heat exchange effect of the airflow reaches the predetermined effect, and the wind speed of the airflow can be reduced, so that the airflow reaches a suitable wind speed before blowing into the room.

[0055] In the first embodiment, the present invention further discloses a fresh air air conditioner, including a heat exchanger 110 and a fresh air system 200. The heat exchanger 110 includes an adjustable flow path of the aforementioned structure. The fresh air system 200 includes an air duct 210, the air outlet of which faces the upstream side of the heat exchange airflow of the heat exchanger 110.

[0056] The fresh air conditioner uses the fresh air system 200 to introduce fresh air into the indoor return air outlet of the fresh air air conditioner, and then the fresh air and the indoor return air are passed through the heat exchanger 110 for heat exchange, and the adjustable flow path is used to improve the heat exchange effect.

[0057] Or further, if Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the air duct 210 passes through the air conditioner bottom case 500 and is fixedly or detachably connected to the bottom case 500. The air duct 210 is arranged on the bottom case 500 instead of being installed from the side of the air conditioner casing 100, which can reduce the occupied volume of the fresh air air conditioner and is suitable for various occasions and spaces.

[0058] Alternatively, a fresh air fan is provided inside the air duct 210. An independent fresh air fan is provided inside the air duct 210, and the wind pressure of the fresh air fan can be adjusted as needed. Here, the size of the air duct 210 matches the size of the fresh air fan. The air duct 210 may also not be provided with a fan, and the fan 120 provided by the fresh air air conditioner may be directly used to form a negative pressure to introduce fresh air.

[0059] Or further, if Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Fig. 9As shown, the outlet of the air duct 210 is provided with a detachable purification net 250. The purification net 250 is used to filter the fresh air to prevent dust from accumulating inside the air conditioner and affecting the normal operation of the components. Specifically, the outlet of the air duct 210 is provided with a slot, and the outer periphery of the purification net 250 is provided with a convex bump 251. The purification net 250 slides into the air duct 210 along the axial direction of the air duct 210, and the convex bump 251 correspondingly contacts the slot. The purification net 250 can be made of a flexible material with deformation ability to enhance the friction with the slot and resist the impact of the fresh air.

[0060] Or further, if Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer periphery of the air duct 210 is provided with a fixed or detachable connection with the air conditioner casing 100. The structure of the air duct 210 can be fixed with the air conditioner casing 100 as needed, or as shown in the figure, a clamp 260 is provided on the outer periphery of the air duct 210 to facilitate detachable connection with the air conditioner casing 100. When cleaning is required, only the bottom shell 500 and the air duct 210 need to be disassembled, which is also convenient for processing and replacement.

[0061] In addition, if the structure of the original flow path number is kept unchanged, the fan 120 (generally a cross-flow fan) inside the fresh air air conditioner can be directly used to change the rotation speed and adjust the input amount of fresh air. This can reduce the temperature impact caused by the introduction of fresh air to a lower level and improve the indoor air quality.

[0062] Embodiment 2

[0063] This embodiment is improved on the basis of the first embodiment. The difference is that: Figure 2 As shown, a first valve 331 and a second valve 332 are added. The first valve 331 is provided at the connection between the inlet pipe 321 and the liquid inlet pipe 101, and the second valve 332 is provided between the outlet pipe 322 and the gas collecting pipe 102. Specifically, the first valve 331 and the second valve 332 are used to open or close the second flow path. When opened, the working mode of introducing fresh air is applicable to improve the indoor air quality, and when closed, the working mode of indoor air circulation heat exchange is applicable. Therefore, the opening and closing of the adjustable flow path can be controlled manually and automatically according to different working modes, so that the energy consumption of the heat exchanger 110 matches the working mode, reducing energy loss, and improving the flexibility of adjustment and the adaptability to the environment.

[0064] The technical solution of this embodiment adds a first valve 331 and a second valve 332 for adjusting the opening or closing of the second flow path, increases the number of flow paths of the heat exchanger 110, and meets the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 110 when the fresh air system 200 is turned on. When the fresh air system 200 is turned off and indoor circulation is performed, the second flow path can be closed to avoid the second flow path being in a working state all the time, causing the heat exchange of the heat exchanger 110 to be in an excess state, resulting in an increase in energy consumption, thereby improving the energy efficiency ratio of the fresh air air conditioner in different working modes.

[0065] In the second embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the present invention also provides a fresh air air conditioner, including a heat exchanger 110 and a fresh air system 200. The heat exchanger 110 includes an adjustable flow path of the aforementioned structure. The fresh air system 200 includes a wind tube 210 and a cover 220 arranged at the inlet of the wind tube 210, the air outlet of the wind tube 210 faces the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 110, the wind tube 210 is connected to the regulating circuit, the cover 220 rotates to open or close the wind tube 210, and the cover 220 rotates and drives the switch 400 to operate, so that the regulating circuit is turned on or off, and the regulating circuit is electrically connected to the first valve 331 and the second valve 332.

[0066] The fresh air air conditioner is provided with a regulating circuit on the cover 220, and the switch member 400 is controlled by the rotation of the cover 220, so that the regulating circuit is connected or disconnected, thereby realizing the opening or closing of the first regulating flow path and the second regulating flow path, realizing automatic control, turning on the fresh air mode, and realizing the opening of the adjustable flow path while introducing fresh air, thereby improving the heat exchange effect.

[0067] Specifically, the first valve 331 and the second valve 332 are configured as solenoid valves, which can change the open and close states according to electrical signals.

[0068] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the switch member 400 is a push button, which is arranged on the mating surface of the wind tube 210. The cover 220 is buckled on the wind tube 210. The push button is retracted by the pressure of the cover 220, and the regulating circuit is disconnected. When the cover 220 is opened, when the cover 220 rotates around the rotating shaft 240, it will be separated from the push button installed on the wind tube 210, causing it to bounce up, so that the regulating circuit is connected, and the first valve 331 and the second valve 332 are opened. When the cover 220 is closed, when the cover 220 rotates around the rotating shaft 240, it will touch the push button installed on the wind tube 210, causing it to be pressed down, so that the regulating circuit is disconnected, and the first valve 331 and the second valve 332 are closed. The opening and closing of the cover 220 is used to start and disconnect the regulating circuit, so that the fresh air flow, the regulating circuit and the adjustable flow path are opened at the same time, realizing the linkage of the working mode and improving the degree of automation.

[0069] Alternatively, a hollow groove is provided in the side wall of the air duct 210, and the switch 400 is connected to the regulating circuit through a cable passing through the hollow groove. Since the regulating circuit requires a cable to achieve electrical connection, the hollow groove is used to accommodate the cable, thereby improving the protection of the cable and reducing dust accumulation and moisture erosion.

[0070] Embodiment 3

[0071] In the second embodiment, improvements are made on the basis of the second embodiment, the difference is that: Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the cover 220 rotates under the drive of the control member to open or close the air duct 210. Using the control member to control the rotation of the cover 220 is conducive to providing an automated structural basis for the overall structure of the air conditioner and realizing automatic switching of different modes.

[0072] Specifically, Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the control member includes a magnet 232 disposed at the free end of the cover 220 and an electromagnet 231 disposed on the air conditioner housing 100. The magnetic force of the electromagnet 231 causes the cover 220 to be buckled with the air duct 210. The control member is specifically configured as a magnet or an electromagnet. When fresh air does not need to be introduced, the electromagnet 231 is powered on to generate a magnetic force to keep the cover 220 and the air duct 210 buckled. When fresh air needs to be introduced, the electromagnet 231 is powered off, the cover 220 loses the magnetic adsorption effect, and opens under gravity or elastic force.

[0073] Furthermore, a support platform 221 is extended outward from the free end of the cover 220, a buckle 222 is provided on the inner wall of the support platform 221, and a magnet 232 is placed on the support platform 221 and abuts against the buckle 222. The magnet 232 is placed at the free end of the cover 220, and the support platform 221 and the buckle 222 provide a space for accommodating the magnet 232, and can be relatively fixed with the cover 220 to prevent the magnet 232 from falling off during the rotation of the cover 220. The buckle 222 can be provided as one or more as needed to ensure that the position of the magnet 232 is stable.

[0074] Embodiment 4

[0075] This embodiment can be improved on the basis of the first embodiment, the second embodiment or the third embodiment, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the difference lies in the rotating shaft 240: the cover 220 is arranged on the outer circumference of the wind tube 210 through the rotating shaft 240, and the outer circumference of the rotating shaft 240 is sleeved with a return spring 241. In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 240 is arranged as a detachable structure from the wind tube 210, which is convenient for modular production and processing, installation and maintenance, and the return spring 241 is used to accelerate the opening speed of the cover 220 and improve the agility of the cover 220.

[0076] Specifically, when this embodiment is used in conjunction with the third embodiment, the rotation of the cover 220 is achieved through the cooperation of the control member and the rotating shaft 240. For example, the electromagnet 231 is powered on to generate magnetic force, which overcomes the elastic force of the return spring 241, and the cover 220 is engaged with the wind tube 210; when the electromagnet 231 is powered off, the magnetic force disappears, and under the elastic force of the return spring 241, the cover 220 rotates and separates from the cover 220. One end of the return spring 241 abuts against the cover 220, and the other end abuts against the rotating shaft 240.

[0077] Specifically, Figure 8 As shown, the rotating shaft 240 includes a positioning platform, and the positioning platform is engaged with the wind tube 210. The rotating shaft 240 is independently arranged, and in order to ensure relative stability with the wind tube 210 during use, the positioning platform is used to define the position of the rotating shaft 240.

[0078] Specifically, the positioning platform includes a first clamping block 242 and a second clamping block 243. The first clamping position and the second clamping position are provided on the air duct 210. The first clamping block 242 is adapted to be clamped with the first clamping position, and the second clamping block 243 is adapted to be clamped with the second clamping position. The clamping directions of the first clamping block 242 and the second clamping block 243 are opposite. The positioning platform is subjected to limiting forces in two directions, which effectively prevents the rotating shaft 240 from shaking with the rotation of the cover 220, thereby maintaining the stability of the rotation of the cover 220, and can still accurately match with the air duct 210 after multiple openings and closings.

[0079] Based on the structures of the above-mentioned Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 4, the present invention further discloses a fresh air regulating method of a fresh air air conditioner, comprising the following steps:

[0080] Manually or automatically start the fresh air system 200,

[0081] The cover 220 is opened, and the regulating circuit is connected, the first valve 331 and the second valve 332 are opened, and the fresh air enters the air inlet side of the heat exchanger 110, and the first regulating pipeline and the second regulating pipeline are opened.

[0082] The fresh air is mixed with the indoor return air, and is blown into the room after being heated by the heat exchanger 110.

[0083] The fresh air adjustment method is applicable to various spaces such as factories, shopping malls, or living rooms and bedrooms. When fresh air is introduced, the adjustment circuit is connected, and the adjustable flow path enters the refrigerant to improve the heat exchange efficiency, so that the indoor air outlet temperature is roughly the same as the preset air outlet temperature of the air conditioner, solving the problem of low heat exchange efficiency of the fresh air air conditioner.

[0084] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the advantages and positive effects of the fresh air air conditioner of the present application are: the first flow path is an integral passage, the regulating section is arranged between the introduction end 311 and the discharge end 312, the present invention adds a second flow path, the second flow path is arranged on the regulating section of the first flow path, thereby dividing the first flow path into two sections, the first regulating pipeline is the front section process of the first flow path, and the second regulating pipeline uses the rear section process of the first flow path. The first regulating pipeline and the second regulating pipeline both shorten the flow length of the refrigerant, because the longer the process, the closer the temperature of the internal refrigerant is to the temperature of the windward surface of the heat exchanger 110, resulting in insufficient heat exchange capacity. It can be seen that shortening the heat exchange process can effectively maintain the temperature and heat exchange capacity of the refrigerant, and the second regulating pipeline also increases the number of flow paths, so that the output of the refrigerant increases, that is, the present invention improves the heat exchange efficiency by the dual effects of increasing the refrigerant flow and shortening the process, thereby coping with the temperature influence caused by the addition of fresh air, and effectively improving the heat exchange capacity and temperature regulation capacity.
