[0002] The related technology provides an air conditioner including an outdoor unit and an ion wind indoor unit. The indoor unit uses the ion wind principle to output air, that is, plasma is generated by discharging discharge needles, and the plasma moves under the action of an electric field to form ion wind. The ion wind indoor unit includes a body, a heat exchanger, and an ion wind generator, both of which are located inside the body. The ion wind generator includes an ion generating device and an ion accelerating device. The ion generating device includes a discharge plate and multiple discharge needles.

The operator first inserts the multiple discharge needles one by one into the multiple insertion holes, and then fixes the discharge needles to the discharge plate by welding.

[0003] To ensure the air volume of the ion air indoor unit, the number of insertion holes and discharge needles needs to be set to be particularly large (at least several hundred pairs), so this type of air conditioner cannot be mass-produced yet. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this application is to provide an ion-exhaust type air handling device suitable for mass production.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the air handling device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes a body, a heat exchanger, and an ion wind generator. The body is provided with an air passage, and both the heat exchanger and the ion wind generator are installed in the air passage, with the heat exchanger located on one side of the ion wind generator. The ion wind generator includes an ion generating device and an ion accelerating device, with the ion accelerating device located between the ion generating device and the air outlet of the air passage. The ion generating device includes a conductive body and a plurality of sharp structures integrally formed with the conductive body, with the plurality of sharp structures facing the ion accelerating device.

[0006] In one exemplary embodiment, the air outlet of the air passage is located on the front side of the machine body and occupies no less than 50% of the front side of the machine body. The size of the heat exchanger is adapted to the size of the air outlet, and the size of the ion wind generator is adapted to the size of the air outlet.

[0007] In one exemplary embodiment, the air outlets of the air passage cover the front side of the machine body.

[0010] In one exemplary embodiment, each of the conductive strips is arranged in the left-right direction, and a plurality of the conductive strips are parallel to each other and connected in parallel in the up-down direction.

[0011] In one exemplary embodiment, the conductive body and the sharp structure are integrally formed by stamping.

[0013] In one exemplary embodiment, the ion acceleration device is an electrode plate, and the electrode plate is provided with a plurality of clearance holes, each of which corresponds to a sharp structure.

[0014] In one exemplary embodiment, both the clearance holes and the sharp structures are arranged in a matrix.

[0015] In one exemplary embodiment, the sharp structure is directly opposite the center of the clearance hole.

[0016] In one exemplary embodiment, the clearance hole includes any one or more of the following: a circular hole, a regular polygonal hole, and an irregularly shaped hole.

[0017] In one exemplary embodiment, the ion wind generator is located in front of the heat exchanger.

[0018] In one exemplary embodiment, the ion wind generator is located on the rear side of the heat exchanger.

[0044] Example 1

[0045] The air handling apparatus provided in the embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a main body, a heat exchanger 200 and an ion air generator 300. Both the heat exchanger 200 and the ion air generator 300 are installed in the main body, and the air handling unit is set as a cabinet unit.

[0046] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figures 12 to 15As shown, the body includes a front panel 110, a rear housing 120, and an air outlet grille 130. The front panel 110 is located on the front side of the rear housing 120, and the front panel 110 and the rear housing 120 are assembled together. The front panel 110 and the rear housing 120 enclose an air passage 140. The air outlet 141 of the air passage 140 is located on the front side 111 of the front panel 110 (which can also be understood as the front surface of the front panel 110). The air outlet grille 130 is installed at the air outlet 141 of the air passage 140. The air inlet of the air passage 140 is located on the rear panel of the rear housing 120. The heat exchanger 200 and the ion wind generator 300 are both installed in the air passage 140.

[0047] like Figures 12 to 15 As shown, an air outlet grille 130 is provided at the air outlet 141 of the air passage 140. A reinforcing rib 131 is provided on the rear side of the air outlet grille 130. The reinforcing rib 131 and the air outlet grille 130 are spaced apart. The reinforcing rib 131 and the air outlet grille 130 are fixedly connected by a connecting rib 132. Both the connecting rib 132 and the reinforcing rib 131 are hidden inside the front panel 110, making the exposed surfaces of the front panel 110 and the air outlet grille 130 more aesthetically pleasing. The color of the reinforcing rib 131 and the connecting rib 132 can be set to be the same as or close to the color of the interior of the air handling unit, which can improve the concealment effect of the reinforcing rib 131 and the connecting rib 132, making them less likely to be observed. One reinforcing rib 131 may be provided, and this reinforcing rib 131 is connected to the air outlet grille 130 through multiple connecting ribs 132; or multiple reinforcing ribs 131 may be provided, and any one of the reinforcing ribs 131 is connected to the air outlet grille 130 through multiple connecting ribs 132. The multiple reinforcing ribs 131 may be arranged horizontally parallel to each other in the vertical direction, or the multiple reinforcing ribs 131 may be arranged vertically parallel to each other in the horizontal direction. All of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this invention. They will not be elaborated here, and all should fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0048] In addition, such as Figures 12 to 15 As shown, the edge of the air vent grille 130 is provided with structures such as positioning pins 133 and mounting holes 134. The air vent grille 130 is fixedly connected to the front panel 110 through the positioning pins 133 and mounting holes 134 to prevent the air vent grille 130 from falling off the front panel 110 during use. Of course, the air vent grille can also be clipped onto the front panel or integrally formed on the front panel, which can also achieve the purpose of this application. Its purpose does not depart from the design concept of this invention, and will not be elaborated here, but should also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0049] To prevent users' fingers from accidentally penetrating the air handling unit through the air outlet grille 130, the width of the grille openings 130 is no greater than 9mm, and can be set to 4-6mm. The connecting ribs 132 are connected to the walls of the grille openings. The grille openings can be any one or more of the following: elongated openings, diamond-shaped openings, circular openings, and square openings. All of these can achieve the purpose of this application, and their intent does not depart from the design concept of this invention. Therefore, they will not be elaborated further and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0050] Yes, the front panel and the rear housing can be fixed together by snap-fit ​​connection. For example, the edge of the front panel is provided with multiple buckles, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the front panel. The edge of the rear housing is provided with multiple fasteners, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the rear housing. The multiple buckles are snapped into the multiple fasteners one by one, so that the front panel and the rear housing are snap-fit ​​connected together. This connection method is not only easy to operate, but also can significantly reduce the manufacturing cost of the air handling unit.

[0051] Alternatively, the front panel and rear housing can be fixed together with screws. For example, the edge of the front panel is provided with multiple studs, which are spaced apart around the circumference of the front panel. The edge of the rear housing is provided with multiple countersunk holes, which are spaced apart around the circumference of the rear housing. Each countersunk hole corresponds to a stud, and multiple screws pass through the countersunk holes and are tightened onto the studs. This makes the front panel and rear housing firmly connected together by screws. This connection method not only has higher connection strength, but also makes it less likely for the front panel and rear panel to detach from each other during use.

[0052] Of course, the front panel and the rear housing can be fixed together by snap-fit ​​connection and screw locking, which can also achieve the purpose of this application. The purpose does not deviate from the design concept of this invention, and will not be repeated here. It should also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0053] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the ion wind generator 300 includes an ion generating device 310 and an ion accelerating device 320 used in conjunction with the ion generating device 310. The ion accelerating device 320 is disposed between the ion generating device 310 and the air outlet 141 of the air passage 140, and is located in front of the ion generating device 310. Its function is to accelerate the plasma generated by the ion generating device 310, causing the plasma to form ion wind. The ion wind is discharged through the air outlet 141 of the air passage 140 and blown into the room to heat or cool the room. Ion wind has the functions of purifying air and sterilizing, which can improve indoor air quality and enhance user experience. This air handling device does not require a fan assembly, so it generates less noise during operation.

[0054] In one example, such as Figures 5 to 9 As shown, the ion generating device 310 includes a conductive body and a plurality of sharp structures 312. The plurality of sharp structures 312 are integrally formed with the conductive body, and the plurality of sharp structures 312 are located between the conductive body and the ion accelerating device 320 and are arranged toward the air outlet 141.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, to ensure that the sharp structure 312 is easier to manufacture, it can be designed as a triangular or needle-like shape, which are easier to manufacture. All of these designs achieve the purpose of this application and do not depart from the design concept of this invention. Therefore, they will not be elaborated further and should all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Of course, the sharp structure 312 can also be designed as a carbon brush.

[0056] It is possible that a sharp structure 312 is configured as a discharge needle (see...). Figure 9 (as shown in the figure); or it can be that a sharp structure 312 is configured as multiple discharge needles spaced apart on the same circumference (not shown in this figure); all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this invention, and will not be repeated here, and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0057] For example, such as Figures 5 to 7 As shown, the conductive body is configured with multiple conductive strips 311 for discharge. Each conductive strip 311 has multiple sharp structures 312 integrally formed on it, spaced apart along its length. The conductive strips 311 and sharp structures 312 can be integrally manufactured by stamping, which is simpler, faster, and more precise. Of course, the conductive strips 311 and sharp structures 312 can also be manufactured by machining or casting, etc., to achieve the purpose of this application. The purpose of these methods does not depart from the design concept of this invention, and will not be elaborated further here, but should also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0058] It can be, such as Figures 5 to 9As shown, any conductive strip 311 is arranged along the vertical direction, and multiple conductive strips 311 are parallel to each other and connected in parallel in the horizontal direction; or, any conductive strip 311 is arranged along the vertical direction, and multiple conductive strips 311 are parallel to each other and connected in series in the horizontal direction (not shown in this embodiment); or, any conductive strip 311 is arranged along the horizontal direction, and multiple conductive strips 311 are parallel to each other and connected in parallel in the vertical direction (not shown in this embodiment); or, any conductive strip 311 is arranged along the horizontal direction, and multiple conductive strips 311 are parallel to each other and connected in series in the vertical direction (not shown in this embodiment); of course, multiple conductive strips 311 can also be arranged at an angle or in a concentric ring, etc.; all of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this invention, and will not be elaborated here, and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0059] In one example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the ion acceleration device 320 is configured as an electrode plate, with multiple clearance holes 321 arranged in a matrix on the electrode plate, and sharp structures 312 also arranged in a matrix. The multiple clearance holes 321 correspond one-to-one with all the sharp structures 312. After the generated plasma is accelerated between the conductive strip 311 and the electrode plate, it moves forward through the clearance holes 321 and is finally blown into the room through the air outlet 141.

[0060] For example, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the clearance hole 321 includes an elliptical hole and a circular hole (see...). Figure 5 and Figure 7 The holes can be any one or more of the following: regular polygonal holes, irregularly shaped holes, etc. The regular polygonal holes can be equilateral triangular holes, regular quadrilateral holes, regular pentagonal holes, or regular hexagonal holes, etc. All of the above can achieve the purpose of this application, and their purpose has not departed from the design concept of this invention. They will not be described in detail here, and should all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0061] For example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the sharp structure 312 is positioned directly opposite the center of the clearance hole 321, making it easier for the ion wind to pass through the clearance hole 321, thus resulting in a larger air volume and higher wind speed of the ion wind.

[0062] In one example, such as Figure 8As shown, the ion wind generator 300 is mounted on the first mounting frame 330, which is frame-shaped. The ion acceleration device 320 is fixed to the front side of the first mounting frame 330, and the ion generating device 310 is fixed to the rear side of the first mounting frame 330. Multiple support ribs are also provided inside the first mounting frame 330 to enhance its strength and prevent deformation and breakage during handling, assembly, and transportation. The first mounting frame 330 also helps maintain the distance 'a' between the sharp structure 312 and the electrode plate at 12–30 mm, resulting in a higher ion wind speed, which improves the cooling and heating efficiency of the air handling unit.

[0063] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the heat exchanger 200 is mounted on the second mounting bracket 210, which is frame-shaped. The heat exchanger 200 is fixed inside the second mounting bracket 210. The ion wind generator 300 is fixed to the open end of the second mounting bracket 210 through the first mounting bracket 330. The heat exchanger 200 and the ion wind generator 300 are spaced apart. The heat exchanger 200 is configured as an evaporator.

[0064] For example, the second mounting bracket 210 is made of plastic, which can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the second mounting bracket 210.

[0065] In one example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the second mounting bracket 210 includes a frame plate 211 with an opening on a vertical side wall and a sealing plate 212. The heat exchanger 200 is installed inside the frame plate 211, and the sealing plate 212 is installed at the opening on the vertical side wall of the frame plate 211. Both the sealing plate 212 and the frame plate 211 are sealed to the ion wind generator 300 to prevent gaps and water leakage. A water collection trough 213 is provided on the lower side plate of the frame plate 211. A drain hole 214 is provided on the bottom wall of the water collection trough 213. The drain hole 214 is connected to a drain pipe, which extends to the outside. The wall of the water collection trough 213 adjacent to the ion wind generator 300 protrudes upward to form a U-shaped water-blocking wall 215. Moreover, the water-blocking wall 215 is disconnected from the inner bottom surface of the frame plate 211 to form a through groove-shaped notch 216, which prevents the condensate formed on the inner bottom surface of the frame plate 211 from flowing onto the water-blocking wall 215 and reaching the ion wind generator 300. Therefore, the water-blocking wall 215 can better prevent the water in the water collection trough 213 and the water on the inner bottom surface of the frame plate 211 from contacting the ion wind generator 300, thus preventing electrical safety accidents from occurring in the ion wind generator 300. Water guide grooves 217 are provided on the lower side of the sealing plate 212 and the lower side of the other vertical side wall of the second frame. Water leakage holes 218 are provided on the bottom wall of the water guide grooves 217. The water leakage holes 218 are connected to the water collection groove 213. Water entering the water guide grooves 217 falls into the water collection groove 213 through the water leakage holes 218, and finally flows out to the outside through the drain hole 214 along the drain pipe. This prevents the condensate flowing down the sealing plate 212 and the other vertical side wall of the second frame from flowing onto the ion wind generator 300 and causing an electrical safety accident in the ion wind generator 300.

[0066] For example, both the frame plate 211 and the sealing plate 212 are made of plastic, which can effectively reduce the manufacturing cost of the first mounting bracket 330.

[0067] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the size of the heat exchanger 200 is similar to that of the air outlet 141, and the size of the ion wind generator 300 is similar to that of the air outlet 141. To ensure the air volume of the ion wind, the area of ​​the air outlet 141 on the front side 111 of the front panel 110 is not less than 50%. Alternatively, the air outlet 141 of the air passage 140 can cover the entire front side 111 of the front panel 110, achieving full air outlet on the front side 111. In this case, sharp structures and clearance holes are all located inside the air outlet 141.

[0068] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 As shown, the air handling unit is set as a cabinet unit, and the ion wind generator is set to be located on the front side of the heat exchanger. At this time, the ion generating device is located between the ion acceleration device and the heat exchanger.

[0069] In summary, the air treatment device provided in this embodiment of the invention includes an ion generating device 310 comprising a conductive body and a plurality of sharp structures 312. The plurality of sharp structures 312 are integrally formed with the conductive body, thereby eliminating the need for operators to insert conductive needles and weld conductive needles to a discharge plate in related technologies. This can effectively reduce the assembly difficulty of the ion generating device 310, thereby enabling mass production of ion-exhausting air treatment devices.

[0070] Example 2

[0071] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the ion wind generator is located on the rear side of the heat exchanger. At this time, the ion acceleration device is located between the ion generating device and the heat exchanger (not shown in the figure), which can also achieve the purpose of this application. Its purpose has not departed from the design concept of this invention, and will not be repeated here. It should also fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0072] In summary, the air treatment device provided by the embodiments of the present invention includes an ion generating device comprising a conductive body and multiple sharp structures, wherein the multiple sharp structures are integrally formed with the conductive body, thereby eliminating the need for operators to insert conductive needles and weld conductive needles to a discharge plate in related technologies, effectively reducing the assembly difficulty of the ion generating device, and thus enabling mass production of ion-exhausting air treatment devices.

[0073] Example 3

[0074] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that two ion wind generators are installed inside the machine body. One ion wind generator is installed on the front side of the heat exchanger and the other ion wind generator is installed on the rear side of the heat exchanger (not shown in the figure). This can also achieve the purpose of this application. Its purpose has not departed from the design concept of this invention, and will not be repeated here. It should also fall within the protection scope of this application.
