Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a separator and an air conditioner having the separator. Background Art
[0002] At present, when household air conditioners are in winter cooling mode, the outdoor heat exchanger needs to evaporate and absorb heat. When the temperature of the heat exchanger tube is too low, frost will occur, affecting the heat exchange of the heat exchanger. In order to ensure the normal heat exchange of the air conditioner outdoor unit, the outdoor heat exchanger needs to be defrosted.
[0003] The commonly used defrost mode is reverse cycle defrost. In reverse cycle defrost mode, the four-way valve is reversed, the system operates in refrigeration mode, and the high-temperature refrigerant on the exhaust side of the compressor exchanges heat with the outdoor heat exchanger to remove the surface frost layer and achieve the defrost effect.
[0004] However, reverse cycle defrosting requires frequent reversing of the four-way valve, which has an adverse effect on the service life of the four-way valve. During the reversing process of the four-way valve, the suction pressure and exhaust pressure of the compressor will change dramatically. This drastic change in pressure will cause a large mechanical shock to the inside of the unit. When the defrosting is completed and normal heating operation is restored, it is easy to cause the problem of not being able to blow out hot air for a long time. In addition, during the reverse cycle defrosting process, the air conditioner switches from heating mode to cooling mode, and the indoor unit heat exchanger begins to absorb heat in the room.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0026] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, it indicates the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0027] The present invention provides a separator, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , comprising: a first shell 1, the first shell 1 having a first accommodating chamber 10; an inflow pipeline 2, arranged on the first shell 1 and connected to the first accommodating chamber 10; an outflow pipeline 3, arranged on the first shell 1 and connected to the first accommodating chamber 10, the outflow pipeline 3 is provided with an air inlet 31 and a liquid inlet 32, the gas in the first accommodating chamber 10 is discharged through the air inlet 31, and part of the liquid in the first accommodating chamber 10 is discharged through the liquid inlet 32; an ejector tube 4, the ejector tube 4 is installed at the liquid inlet 32 and connected to the outflow pipeline 3.
[0028] The separator provided according to the present invention comprises a first shell 1, an inflow pipeline 2, an outflow pipeline 3 and an ejector tube 4, wherein the first shell 1 has a first accommodating chamber 10; the inflow pipeline 2 is arranged on the first shell 1 and communicated with the first accommodating chamber 10; the outflow pipeline 3 is arranged on the first shell 1 and communicated with the first accommodating chamber 10, and an air inlet 31 and a liquid inlet 32 are arranged on the outflow pipeline 3, the gas in the first accommodating chamber 10 is discharged through the air inlet 31, and part of the liquid in the first accommodating chamber 10 is discharged through the liquid inlet 32; the ejector tube 4 is installed at the liquid inlet 32 and communicated with the outflow pipeline 3. This arrangement can separate the refrigerant flowing into the compressor into gas and liquid, and introduce liquid refrigerant, gaseous refrigerant and oil into the first accommodating chamber 10 through the inlet pipe 2. The gaseous refrigerant flows out directly through the outlet pipe 3, and the oil is discharged through the injector tube 4. The liquid refrigerant is separated and stored in the first accommodating chamber 10, so that no liquid will flow into the compressor. The compressor can work normally in the defrost mode, and will not affect the normal air output of the air conditioner, thereby improving the user's comfort.
[0029] Specifically, there are multiple liquid inlets 32, which are arranged at intervals on the outflow pipeline 3; there are multiple ejector tubes 4, which are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the multiple liquid inlets 32. It should be noted here that, during the discharge process of the gas in the first accommodating chamber 10, due to the effect of the gas pressure, a negative pressure is generated in the outflow pipeline 3, and the negative pressure in the outflow pipeline 3 can be used to suck the oil into the outflow pipeline 3, and then flow into the compressor component 100.
[0030] During the specific implementation process, in order to ensure that the ejector tube 4 can guide the oil in the first accommodating chamber 10 to the outflow pipeline 3 in real time, an extending pipe section 30 is provided on the outflow pipeline 3, and the extending pipe section 30 extends toward the bottom of the first accommodating chamber 10. At least part of the ejector tube 4 is passed through the extending pipe section 30, and the ejector tube 4 is movably arranged along the extension direction of the extending pipe section 30.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the separator further includes: a first stopper 5, which is arranged on the inner wall of the extended pipe section 30; a second stopper 6, which is arranged on the ejector pipe 4, and at least a part of the first stopper 5 is opposite to the second stopper 6, so that the first stopper 5 stops the second stopper 6. In this way, the ejector pipe 4 can be prevented from falling into the first accommodating chamber 10, and under the action of the gravity of the ejector pipe 4, the first stopper 5 cooperates with the second stopper 6 to ensure the connection between the ejector pipe 4 and the extended pipe section 30.
[0032] Preferably, the separator further comprises: a floating component 7, which is arranged at one end of the ejector tube 4 away from the outflow pipeline 3, and the floating component 7 is sleeved on the tube body of the ejector tube 4, so as to drive the ejector tube 4 to move through the floating component 7. Since the refrigerant and the oil have different components and densities, there will be stratification, and the lubricating oil will float on the upper layer of the refrigerant. Such a setting can ensure that the ejector tube 4 can always be immersed in the oil, and the floating component 7 can float with the liquid level of the oil, thereby driving the ejector tube 4 to float.
[0033] In the embodiment provided by the present invention, the outflow pipeline 3 includes: a first pipe section 33, a second pipe section 34 and a third pipe section 35 which are interconnected, a first angle is formed between the second pipe section 34 and the first pipe section 33, a second angle is formed between the second pipe section 34 and the third pipe section 35, an air inlet 31 is arranged on the first pipe section 33, and a protruding pipe section 30 is arranged on the second pipe section 34 and is connected with the second pipe section 34. Such an arrangement guides the gaseous refrigerant in the first accommodating chamber 10 through the first pipe section 33, and when the high-speed gaseous refrigerant passes through the second pipe section 34, a negative pressure is generated at the connection between the second pipe section 34 and the protruding pipe section 30, and such an arrangement is conducive to returning the gaseous refrigerant and the oil to the compressor component 100 through the outflow pipeline 3, and at the same time, due to the angle between the first pipe section and the second pipe section, the oil can also be prevented from flowing back. Preferably, the extension direction of the first pipe section 33 and the extension direction of the second pipe section 34 are perpendicular to each other, and the first pipe section 33 and the inflow pipeline 2 are arranged in a staggered manner to prevent the liquid refrigerant in the inflow pipeline 2 from flowing into the outflow pipeline 3 .
[0034] In the specific implementation, the liquid includes oil and liquid refrigerant, and the oil flows into the outflow pipeline 3 through the ejector tube 4. The separator also includes: a second shell 8, the second shell 8 has a second accommodating chamber 80, and at least part of the first shell 1 is installed in the second accommodating chamber 80; a heating component 9, which is installed in the second accommodating chamber 80 and is located below the first shell 1 to heat the liquid refrigerant in the first shell 1. The heating component 9 can be an electric heating rod, etc., and such a setting can heat and vaporize the liquid refrigerant through the heating effect of the heating component 9, so that the vaporized liquid refrigerant flows into the compressor through the outflow pipeline 3, ensuring the normal return of air and oil of the compressor components in the defrosting state. Preferably, a heating medium is also provided in the second accommodating chamber 80, and the heating medium can be a liquid to uniformly heat the liquid refrigerant in the first accommodating chamber 10.
[0035] In order to ensure the sealing of the first accommodating chamber 10 and the second accommodating chamber 80, the separator further includes: an end cover 12, which is arranged on the first shell 1, and includes a first body and a second body connected to each other, the first body is opposite to the first accommodating chamber 10, and the second body is opposite to the second accommodating chamber 80. A safety valve 13 is also arranged on the end cover 12, and at least part of the safety valve 13 extends into the second accommodating chamber 80 to prevent excessive pressure in the second accommodating chamber 80. Preferably, the safety valve 13 can be a pressure relief valve.
[0036] In the specific implementation process, the edge of the second body extends toward the direction close to the second shell 8, so that at least part of the second body is covered on the outside of the second shell 8; the end cover 12 is an integral structure with the first shell 1. In this way, when the first shell 1 is installed in the second accommodating cavity 80, the end cover 12 can be directly covered on the second accommodating cavity 80, and there is no need to separately set an end cover for the second accommodating cavity. Preferably, the end cover 12 is provided with a first conduction hole and a second conduction hole, the inflow pipeline 2 is passed through the first conduction hole, and the outflow pipeline 3 is passed through the second conduction hole.
[0037] In actual operation, when the gas-liquid two-phase refrigerant enters the first accommodating chamber through the inflow pipe 2 of the separator, the liquid refrigerant falls to the bottom of the first accommodating chamber 10 due to gravity, and the gaseous refrigerant returns to the compressor component 100 through the outflow pipe 3. At the same time, when the system enters the defrost mode, the heating component 9 in the separator starts to heat up, and the heat of the heating component 9 heats the liquid refrigerant in the first accommodating chamber 10. The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat and undergoes a phase change, evaporates and becomes a gaseous refrigerant, and finally returns to the compressor through the outflow pipe 3. During the operation of the defrost system, the refrigerant will bring a certain amount of compressor lubricating oil when entering the separator. Since the liquid level of the liquid refrigerant in the first accommodating chamber 10 fluctuates greatly, the float component 7 drives the ejector pipe 4 to float to meet the normal oil return of the system.
[0038] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, such as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a compressor component 100, a four-way reversing valve 200 and a separator 300. The compressor component 100, the four-way reversing valve 200 and the separator 300 are connected to form a closed loop through a pipeline, and the separator is the separator of the above embodiment.
[0039] In the specific implementation process, the air conditioner also includes an indoor heat exchanger 400, an outdoor heat exchanger 500 and an expansion valve 600. The first port of the indoor heat exchanger 400 is connected to the first port of the outdoor heat exchanger 500 through a first pipeline. The expansion valve 600 is arranged on the first pipeline and is connected to the first pipeline. The second port of the indoor heat exchanger 400 is connected to the second port of the outdoor heat exchanger 500 through a second pipeline. The four-way reversing valve 200 is arranged on the second pipeline and is connected to the second pipeline; wherein the four-way reversing valve 200 is connected to the inflow pipeline 2 of the separator 300; when the air conditioner enters the defrosting state, such as Figure 5 As shown, the compressor component 100 increases the rated frequency and the output power of the compressor component, and the four-way reversing valve 200 maintains the heating state. At this time, the speed of the indoor unit fan is adjusted to the lowest gear, and the expansion valve 600 increases the opening to the maximum opening. The high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant on the exhaust side of the compressor component 100 passes through the indoor heat exchanger 400, and reaches the outdoor heat exchanger 500 after passing through the expansion valve 600 for heat exchange, and removes the frost layer on the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger 500. When the frost layer is removed, the system returns to normal; the expansion valve 600 restores the normal opening in the heating mode, and the compressor component restores the rated frequency.
[0040] Specifically, when the outdoor heat exchanger tube temperature sensing package detects that the coil temperature reaches the set value and the set defrost time is reached, the air conditioning system enters the defrost mode. At this time, the indoor fan speed is adjusted to the lowest speed gear, the expansion valve opening is adjusted to the maximum, the frequency of the compressor components is increased, the output power of the compressor is increased, and the outdoor fan stops at the same time, and the heating component 9 of the separator is turned on; the heating component closing time is adjusted through the compressor return air pipe temperature sensing package and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature sensing package. When the compressor return air pipe temperature and the outdoor heat exchanger coil temperature both reach the set value, the heating component of the separator is turned off and the outdoor unit fan is turned on. The system uses the waste heat of the heat exchange fluid medium between the first shell 1 and the second shell 8 to complete the defrost process. After the defrost process is completed, the expansion valve resumes its normal opening in the heating mode, and the compressor components resume their rated frequency.
[0041] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0042] The separator provided according to the present invention comprises a first shell 1, an inflow pipeline 2, an outflow pipeline 3 and an ejector tube 4, wherein the first shell 1 has a first accommodating chamber 10; the inflow pipeline 2 is arranged on the first shell 1 and communicated with the first accommodating chamber 10; the outflow pipeline 3 is arranged on the first shell 1 and communicated with the first accommodating chamber 10, and an air inlet 31 and a liquid inlet 32 are arranged on the outflow pipeline 3, the gas in the first accommodating chamber 10 is discharged through the air inlet 31, and part of the liquid in the first accommodating chamber 10 is discharged through the liquid inlet 32; the ejector tube 4 is installed at the liquid inlet 32 and communicated with the outflow pipeline 3. This arrangement can separate the refrigerant flowing into the compressor into gas and liquid, and introduce liquid refrigerant, gaseous refrigerant and oil into the first accommodating chamber 10 through the inlet pipe 2. The gaseous refrigerant flows out directly through the outlet pipe 3, and the oil is discharged through the injector tube 4. The liquid refrigerant is separated and stored in the first accommodating chamber 10, so that no liquid will flow into the compressor. The compressor can work normally in the defrost mode, and will not affect the normal air output of the air conditioner, thereby improving the user's comfort.
