Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air-conditioning equipment, and in particular to an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Currently, traditional split air conditioners only have a standard filter installed at the air inlet to filter dust from the indoor air. However, due to the low density of the filter mesh, it cannot prevent fine dust particles from entering the evaporator fins and the air duct. After the machine has been running for a period of time, the fine dust particles will adhere to the surface of the evaporator fins and air duct, and the clean indoor air will be contaminated by the dirty evaporator fins and air duct, affecting user health. Furthermore, due to the difficulty of cleaning the internal air conditioner and operational safety requirements, professional cleaning and maintenance are required, which incurs expensive labor costs to complete the regular maintenance of the machine.

[0003] For air conditioners with high-efficiency filters, the high-efficiency filters are only installed at the air inlet. The filtration efficiency of the high-efficiency filters is very high, and the efficiency of filtering particles larger than 0.3um reaches more than 95%. Therefore, the high wind resistance characteristics of the high-efficiency filters will greatly reduce the air intake volume of the machine, and the air intake efficiency is low.

[0004] That is to say, the air conditioner in the prior art has the problem that it cannot achieve both high efficiency filtration and high efficiency air intake. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an air conditioner to solve the problem in the prior art that high-efficiency filtration and high-efficiency air intake cannot be taken into account at the same time.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, according to one aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: a shell, the shell having a purification cavity and a heat exchange cavity connected to each other and arranged along the front-to-back direction of the shell, the purification cavity being close to the front panel of the shell relative to the heat exchange cavity, and air inlets being provided on the shell sections corresponding to the purification cavity and the heat exchange cavity; a filtering device, the filtering device being arranged in the purification cavity so that the air entering the purification cavity flows to the heat exchange cavity after being filtered by the filtering device.

[0007] Furthermore, the filter device is detachably connected to the housing.

[0008] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes an air inlet filter device, which is arranged at the air inlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the air inlet filter device includes a filter assembly and a HEPA filter. The filter assembly is close to the outside of the shell relative to the HEPA filter, and the filter assembly covers the air inlets corresponding to the purification cavity and the heat exchange cavity. Only the air inlet corresponding to the heat exchange cavity is provided with a HEPA filter.

[0010] Furthermore, the filter assembly and the HEPA filter are snap-connected.

[0011] Furthermore, the filter assembly has a clip extending toward the heat exchange cavity, multiple clips are arranged at intervals, and all the clips are divided into two groups to hook a group of opposite sides of the HEPA filter respectively.

[0012] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes a support frame, and the filter device is arranged on the support frame.

[0013] Furthermore, the filter device is a HEPA filter device.

[0014] Furthermore, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted unit, and there are multiple filter devices, which are arranged along the length direction of the shell.

[0015] Furthermore, the air conditioner further comprises a panel body, which is arranged in the shell and located between the purification cavity and the heat exchange cavity, and the filtering device is connected to the panel body.

[0016] Furthermore, the panel body includes: a panel body frame, the internal area of ​​the panel body frame is used to connect the purification cavity and the heat exchange cavity; a connecting edge, the two ends of the connecting edge are connected to the two opposite sides of the panel body frame, the connecting edge is located below the middle of the panel body frame, and the filter device is hung on the connecting edge.

[0017] Furthermore, the air conditioner further includes a rib plate, which is vertically arranged in the purification chamber to divide the purification chamber into a plurality of sub-areas. There are a plurality of filter devices, and the plurality of filter devices are respectively arranged in the plurality of sub-areas.

[0018] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, the air conditioner includes a shell and a filtering device. The shell has a purification cavity and a heat exchange cavity that are connected and arranged along the front and rear directions of the shell. The purification cavity is close to the front panel of the shell relative to the heat exchange cavity. The shell sections corresponding to the purification cavity and the heat exchange cavity are provided with air inlets; the filtering device is arranged in the purification cavity so that the wind entering the purification cavity flows to the heat exchange cavity after being filtered by the filtering device.

[0019] By providing a purification cavity and a heat exchange cavity that are interconnected within the housing, air can flow into the heat exchange cavity through the purification cavity, and the air can be filtered, making the air delivered to the room by the air conditioner cleaner. Since air inlets are provided on the housing sections of both the purification cavity and the heat exchange cavity, air can flow directly into the heat exchange cavity from the air inlet, or it can enter the heat exchange cavity from the air inlet through the purification cavity. The provision of the filter device can filter the air in the purification cavity before it flows into the heat exchange cavity for heat exchange, thereby increasing the filtration efficiency of the air conditioner. Since there are two locations that can both supply air to the heat exchange cavity, the air intake efficiency of the air conditioner can be effectively guaranteed, solving the problem of the air conditioner not being able to achieve both high-efficiency filtration and high-efficiency air intake.

[0037] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this 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.

[0038] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by ordinary technicians in the technical field to which this application belongs.

[0039] In the present invention, unless otherwise specified, the directional words used, such as "up, down, top, bottom", usually refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the components themselves in the vertical, perpendicular or gravity direction; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inside and outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself, but the above directional words are not used to limit the present invention.

[0040] In order to solve the problem in the prior art that high-efficiency filtration and high-efficiency air intake cannot be achieved simultaneously in air conditioners, the present invention provides an air conditioner.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, the air conditioner includes a shell 10 and a filter device 20. The shell 10 has a purification cavity 11 and a heat exchange cavity 12 that are connected and arranged along the front and rear directions of the shell 10. The purification cavity 11 is close to the front panel 13 of the shell 10 relative to the heat exchange cavity 12. The shell sections of the shell 10 corresponding to the purification cavity 11 and the heat exchange cavity 12 are both provided with air inlets 14; the filter device 20 is arranged in the purification cavity 11, so that the wind entering the purification cavity 11 flows to the heat exchange cavity 12 after being filtered by the filter device 20.

[0042] By providing a purification chamber 11 and a heat exchange chamber 12 that are interconnected within the housing 10, air can flow into the heat exchange chamber 12 through the purification chamber 11, thereby filtering the air and making the air delivered to the room by the air conditioner cleaner. Since air inlets 14 are provided on the housing sections of both the purification chamber 11 and the heat exchange chamber 12, air can flow directly into the heat exchange chamber 12 from the air inlet 14, or it can enter the heat exchange chamber 12 from the air inlet 14 through the purification chamber 11. The provision of the filter device 20 can filter the air in the purification chamber 11 before it flows into the heat exchange chamber 12 for heat exchange, thereby increasing the filtration efficiency of the air conditioner. Since there are two locations that can both supply air to the heat exchange chamber 12, the air intake efficiency of the air conditioner can be effectively guaranteed, solving the problem of the air conditioner not being able to achieve both high-efficiency filtration and high-efficiency air intake.

[0043] It should be noted that the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner, and "rear" refers to the side of the air conditioner close to the wall after it is hung on the wall, and "front" refers to the side of the air conditioner away from the wall after it is hung on the wall.

[0044] Specifically, the filter device 20 is detachably connected to the housing 10. This arrangement facilitates cleaning, replacement, and maintenance of the filter device 20. The detachable arrangement between the filter device 20 and the housing 10 allows the user to remove the filter device 20 from the housing 10 by themselves without having to hire a professional for cleaning, thereby increasing the convenience of cleaning the air conditioner.

[0045] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the air conditioner further includes an air inlet filter device 30, which is arranged at the air inlet 14. The arrangement of the air inlet filter device 30 can filter the air entering the purification cavity 11 and the heat exchange cavity 12, ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the heat exchange cavity 12 and increasing the filtering efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, the air inlet filter device 30 includes a filter assembly 31 and a HEPA filter 32. The filter assembly 31 is closer to the outside of the housing 10 than the HEPA filter 32, and the filter assembly 31 covers the air inlets 14 corresponding to the purification chamber 11 and the heat exchange chamber 12. The HEPA filter 32 is only provided at the air inlet 14 corresponding to the heat exchange chamber 12. The filter assembly 31 is a coarse filter, mainly filtering large particles to prevent large particles from entering the interior of the air conditioner and affecting the operation of the air conditioner. The HEPA filter 32 mainly filters particles larger than 0.3um, which can purify the air and ensure that the air entering the heat exchange chamber 12 is cleaner. Since the HEPA filter 32 is provided at the air inlet 14 corresponding to the heat exchange chamber 12, the air entering the heat exchange chamber 12 is cleaner, which increases the filtration efficiency of the air conditioner, allowing the air conditioner to efficiently filter and intake air at the same time.

[0047] Specifically, the filter assembly 31 is snap-fitted to the HEPA filter 32. This arrangement facilitates the removal of the HEPA filter 32 from the filter assembly 31, making it easy for the user to clean and replace the HEPA filter 32, thereby ensuring the filtering efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter assembly 31 has latches 311 extending into the heat exchange chamber. Multiple latches 311 are spaced apart, and all latches 311 are divided into two groups, each hooking onto a set of opposing sides of the HEPA filter 32. This arrangement allows the HEPA filter 32 to be hooked at multiple locations, ensuring a tight connection between the HEPA filter 32 and the filter assembly 31 and preventing the risk of the HEPA filter 32 becoming detached from the filter assembly 31.

[0049] It should be noted that the filter assembly 31 is a quadrilateral, and multiple buckles 311 are respectively located on two opposite sides of the filter assembly. The buckles 311 on one side form a group to respectively hook the two opposite sides of the HEPA filter 32.

[0050] like Figure 4 As shown, the filter assembly 31 has a hook 312, which is engaged with the housing 10 so that the filter assembly 31 and the hook 312 are detachably connected, thereby facilitating the disassembly and cleaning of the filter assembly 31.

[0051] like Figure 5 As shown, the filter assembly 31 is curved at the air inlet 14 of the purification chamber 11. This configuration is to adapt to the air inlet 14 corresponding to the purification chamber 11, ensuring that the filter assembly 31 can completely cover the air inlet 14, effectively preventing large particles from entering the purification chamber 11, and increasing the stability of the filter device 20.

[0052] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figures 7 to 12 As shown, the filter device 20 has an arc-shaped structure, and the center of the arc is close to the heat exchange cavity 12 relative to the front panel 13. This arrangement allows the filter device 20 to be located in front of the heat exchange cavity 12, so that all air entering the heat exchange cavity 12 through the purification cavity 11 can pass through the filter device 20 and enter the heat exchange cavity 12, ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the heat exchange cavity 12.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the arc angle Q of the arc structure is greater than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees. This arrangement allows at least a portion of the filter device 20 to extend into the heat exchange cavity 12, leaving no gap between the filter device 20 and the HEPA filter 32. This ensures that the air entering the heat exchange cavity 12 is filtered by the HEPA filter 32 or the filter device 20, ensuring the cleanliness of the air entering the heat exchange cavity 12. This improves the air intake efficiency of the air conditioner while also increasing the filtration efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0054] It should be noted that the radian Q of the arc-shaped structure refers to the radian of the angle between the two end faces of the arc-shaped structure.

[0055] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a support frame 40, and the filter device 20 is disposed on the support frame 40 so as to maintain the filter device 20 in an arc-shaped structure. The support frame 40 can support the filter device 20 so that the filter device 20 maintains the arc-shaped structure. At the same time, the support frame 40 can also increase the structural strength of the filter device 20 and increase the operating stability of the filter device 20.

[0056] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the support frame 40 includes at least two support plates 41, and the support plates 41 are arranged on both sides of the arc structure, so that a hemispherical structure is formed between the filter device 20 and the support frame 40, so that the hemispherical structure covers the heat exchange cavity 12, so that all air can flow into the heat exchange cavity 12 after passing through the filter device 20.

[0057] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the support frame 40 further includes a snap-fit ​​structure 42 , which is snap-fitted to the panel body 50 to achieve a detachable connection between the filter device 20 and the panel body 50 , so as to facilitate cleaning of the filter device 20 .

[0058] Specifically, the filter device 20 is a HEPA filter device that can filter particles larger than 0.3 μm, purify the air, and ensure that the air entering the heat exchange cavity 12 is cleaner.

[0059] Optionally, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted unit, and a plurality of filter devices 20 are provided, and the plurality of filter devices 20 are arranged along the length direction of the housing 10. Arranging a plurality of filter devices 20 makes the volume of each filter device 20 relatively small, and facilitates the user to remove the filter device 20 from the housing 10, and facilitates the replacement and cleaning of the filter device 20.

[0060] Specifically, the front panel 13 is openably and closably disposed on the housing 10 , so that the filter device 20 can be removed from the housing 10 and cleaned.

[0061] like Figure 3 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a panel body 50, which is disposed within the housing 10 and located between the purification chamber 11 and the heat exchange chamber 12. The filter device 20 is connected to the panel body 50. The arrangement of the panel body 50 separates the heat exchange chamber 12 and the purification chamber 11 to prevent interference between the structures therein, thereby increasing the stability and safety of the air conditioner. The filter device 20 is detachably connected to the panel body 50, facilitating its removal and installation, and increasing its operational stability.

[0062] like Figure 13 As shown, the panel body 50 includes a panel body frame 51 and a connecting rib 52. The internal area of ​​the panel body frame 51 is used to connect the purification chamber 11 and the heat exchange chamber 12. The two ends of the connecting rib 52 are connected to the two opposite sides of the panel body frame 51. The connecting rib 52 is located below the middle of the panel body frame 51, and the filter device 20 is hung on the connecting rib 52. The panel body frame 51 is placed upright in the housing 10, and air flows through the central through hole of the panel body frame 51. Placing the connecting rib 52 in the middle and lower part of the panel body frame 51 can effectively prevent the connecting rib 52 from blocking the flow of air, ensuring that air can flow smoothly into the heat exchange chamber 12. Hanging the filter device 20 on the connecting rib 52 facilitates the removal of the filter device 20.

[0063] like Figure 13 As shown, the panel body 50 further includes a connecting rib 53, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the connecting edge 52 and the panel body frame 51. The provision of the connecting rib 53 can increase the structural strength of the connecting edge 52, so that the connecting edge 52 can stably support the filter device 20, thereby increasing the stability and safety of the filter device 20.

[0064] like Figure 14As shown, the air conditioner further includes a rib 60, which is vertically disposed within the purification chamber 11 to divide the purification chamber 11 into multiple sub-areas. There are multiple filter devices 20, each of which is disposed within the multiple sub-areas. The provision of the rib 60 can divide the purification chamber 11 into multiple sub-areas, making each filter device 20 smaller and facilitating assembly and disassembly of the filter device 20.

[0065] like Figure 14 As shown, the air conditioner further includes a reinforcing rib 70, which is a cross-shaped structure located at the top of the housing 10 and connected to the inner wall of the housing 10. At least a portion of the reinforcing rib 70 is connected to the top of the rib 60. This arrangement effectively increases the structural strength of the housing 10 and also increases the structural strength of the rib 60, thereby improving the operational stability of the air conditioner.

[0066] like Figure 13 As shown, the bottom surface of the panel body 50 has multiple first limiting ribs 54, and the side wall of the bottom surface of the shell 10 has second limiting ribs 15 that cooperate with the first limiting ribs 54 to limit the panel body 50, thereby increasing the working stability of the panel body 50.

[0067] like Figure 13 As shown, the panel body 50 also has a plurality of screw columns 55 , and the panel body 50 and the housing 10 are connected by screws, and the screws are detachably installed in the screw columns 55 to achieve a detachable connection between the panel body 50 and the housing 10 .

[0068] like Figure 13 As shown, the bottom surface of the panel body 50 further has a hook 56 , and the hook 56 is snap-connected with the housing 10 to facilitate assembly and disassembly between the panel body 50 and the housing 10 .

[0069] The air conditioner in this application has two air inlet areas. Through the air inlet filter device 30 and the filter device 20, the air inlet area of ​​the air conditioner is greatly increased, the air volume of the air conditioner is improved, and the fully sealed filtration of the heat exchange cavity 12 is realized to achieve the function of internal cleaning, which solves the problems of non-fully sealed filtration or small air inlet area, insufficient air volume and insufficient performance of the air conditioner in the prior art.

[0070] The filter device 20 is designed in an arc shape, which can effectively increase its deployment area. In this case, the air inlet area of ​​the filter device 20 is S2 = 2π(R+D)*Q / 360 / E1*D*L, where L is the length of the air inlet 14, Q is the curvature of the filter device 20, R is the radius of the filter device 20, D is the thickness of the filter device, and E1 is the distance between two adjacent filter plates 21 on the outer curved surface of the arc structure. The air inlet area of ​​the HEPA filter 32 is S3 = 2A / C*B*L, where A is the width of the HEPA filter 32 and B is the height of the HEPA filter 32. The total air inlet area of ​​the air conditioner, Stotal, is S2 + S3 = 2π(R+D)*Q / 360 / E1*D*L + 2A / C*B*L, and C is the distance between two adjacent filter fins on the HEPA filter 32.
