Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to air conditioning technology, in particular to a wall-mounted air-conditioning indoor unit. Background Art

[0002] With the development of air-conditioning technology, the appearance and functions of air-conditioners are constantly updated, and various new technologies emerge in an endless stream.

[0003] However, there are very few innovative air guide structures for air conditioners. For example, existing solutions for wall-mounted indoor air conditioners typically use an inner guide plate and a swinging blade assembly at the air outlet. The inner guide plate adjusts the vertical angle of the air outlet, while the swinging blades guide the air left and right. The structure of the indoor unit of a vertical air conditioner is similar. Existing air conditioners widely adopt this air guide structure, resulting in a uniform user experience and product appearance, making it difficult to improve the product quality.

[0004] It can be seen that how to achieve innovation in air-guiding structure has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently in the air-conditioning industry. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One object of the present invention is to provide a novel wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit that utilizes inner and outer guide plates to humidify the air, thereby improving product differentiation and user experience.

[0006] A further object of the present invention is to increase the moisture storage capacity and extend the humidification time of the inner guide plate.

[0007] In particular, the present invention provides a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, comprising:

[0008] A housing having an air outlet;

[0009] an outer guide plate rotatably disposed at the air outlet, having at least one receiving portion for receiving at least one moisture storage module or water; and

[0010] an inner guide plate rotatably disposed on the inner side of the air outlet, the inner guide plate having a water guide module;

[0011] The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is configured to: when the outer guide plate and the inner guide plate are rotated to an angle that makes the water guide module adjacent to the accommodating portion to allow the water guide module to contact the moisture storage module or water, the water guide module absorbs moisture, so that when the inner guide plate guides air, the moisture in the water guide module is thrown to the indoor environment for humidification.

[0012] Optionally, at least a portion of the inner guide plate is a hollow structure, in which an elongated moisture-conducting cavity extending along its length is formed, and a plurality of moisture-dissipating holes communicating with the elongated moisture-conducting cavity are formed on at least one side surface of the inner guide plate, so that water in the accommodating portion enters the elongated moisture-conducting cavity through the plurality of moisture-dissipating holes;

[0013] The water guide module is arranged in the elongated moisture guide cavity to guide the water injected into the elongated moisture guide cavity to various locations in the length direction of the elongated moisture guide cavity, and when the inner guide plate guides the air, the moisture is thrown out through the moisture dissipation holes.

[0014] Optionally, a plurality of moisture dissipation holes are provided on both side surfaces of the inner guide plate.

[0015] Optionally, an opening is formed on an edge of the inner guide plate in the width direction of the plate body, so that the water guide module can be inserted into the elongated moisture guide cavity.

[0016] Optionally, the inner guide plate includes an air guide segment or a plurality of air guide segments arranged along the length direction of the inner guide plate and fixedly connected to each other, and at least one of the air guide segments is formed with one of the elongated moisture guide chambers.

[0017] Optionally, each of the air guide sections includes:

[0018] an outer plate body, on which the elongated moisture-conducting cavity is provided;

[0019] A plurality of inner panels are sequentially spaced apart in a direction away from the first side surface of the outer panel, wherein air outlet spaces are formed between the outer panel and adjacent inner panels and between adjacent inner panels; and

[0020] The two end plates are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction of the air guide section. One end of the length direction of the outer plate body and the plurality of inner plate bodies is fixed to one end plate, and the other end is fixed to the other end plate.

[0021] Optionally, each of the accommodating portions is located on an inner side surface of the outer guide plate facing the interior of the housing when the air outlet is closed; and

[0022] Each of the accommodating portions is a box body with a bottom connected to the inner side surface and open in a direction away from the outer guide plate.

[0023] Optionally, each of the accommodating portions is in the shape of a long strip extending along the length direction of the outer guide plate, and its cross section is in the shape of a triangle with its vertex connected to the inner side surface.

[0024] Optionally, the outer guide plate includes a plate body and a plurality of mounting arms connected to the plate body, wherein the plurality of mounting arms are arranged along the length direction of the outer guide plate so as to be rotatably connected to the housing;

[0025] There are multiple accommodating portions, and one accommodating portion is provided between every two mounting arms.

[0026] Optionally, the water conducting module and the moisture storage module are sponges.

[0027] In the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention, the outer guide plate is provided with a receptacle for accommodating a moisture storage module or water, and the inner guide plate is provided with a water guide module. When the outer and inner guide plates are rotated to an angle that places the water guide module adjacent to the receptacle, the water guide module comes into direct contact with the moisture storage module or water, thereby absorbing moisture. Then, as the inner guide plate rotates to guide air, the moisture is flung toward the indoor environment, humidifying it and distributing it throughout the room along with the outgoing airflow, achieving a more effective humidification effect. Furthermore, since the outer guide plate does not need to be rotated frequently once opened, it is suitable for storing more moisture, allowing the inner guide plate to store more moisture for humidification, thereby extending the humidification time of the inner guide plate.

[0028] Furthermore, in the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention, the plate body is a hollow structure, within which is formed an elongated moisture-conducting cavity extending along its length. The water-conducting module is disposed within the elongated moisture-conducting cavity and is capable of directing water injected into the elongated moisture-conducting cavity to various locations along the length of the elongated moisture-conducting cavity, thereby achieving more uniform moisture distribution. Furthermore, when the inner guide plate rotates, moisture is ejected through the moisture-dissipating holes distributed throughout the inner guide plate, thereby humidifying the indoor environment. The moisture is then dissipated throughout the room along with the outgoing airflow, achieving a more effective humidification effect.

[0029] Furthermore, in the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit of the present invention, the accommodating portion is a box-shaped body with its bottom connected to the inner side of the outer guide plate and open toward the direction away from the outer guide plate. The cross-section of the box-shaped body is triangular, with its apex connected to the outer guide plate. This allows for a larger opening in the accommodating portion, thereby allowing for better contact between the water or moisture storage module and the water guide module of the inner guide plate.

[0042] The present invention provides an inner guide plate for a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit and a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit having the same. The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is the indoor part of a split wall-mounted room air conditioner and is used to regulate indoor air, such as cooling / heating, dehumidifying, introducing fresh air, etc.

[0043] Figure 1 is a structural diagram of a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The enlarged view of M; Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the outer guide plate in the indoor unit of the wall-mounted air conditioner shown; Figure 4 is a schematic structural diagram of an inner guide plate according to an embodiment of the present invention; Figure 5 yes Figure 4 A magnified view of point A; Figure 6 yes Figure 4 a schematic exploded view of the inner guide shown; Figure 7 yes Figure 6 Enlarged view of point B.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit according to the embodiment of the present invention may generally include a housing 10 , an inner guide plate 50 and an outer guide plate 60 .

[0045] The housing 10 may be in the shape of an elongated strip arranged horizontally in its longitudinal direction, with its longitudinal direction being marked as the x-direction. The housing 10 defines a storage space for accommodating the various components of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit. The housing 10 is provided with an air outlet 12 for discharging the airflow therein. The discharged airflow refers to the airflow that is accelerated by the fan in the housing 10 to flow through the air outlet 12 and is used to regulate the indoor environment, such as the cold air in the cooling mode, the hot air in the heating mode, and the fresh air flow in the fresh air mode, etc. The air outlet 12, the inner guide plate 50, and the outer guide plate 60 are all in the shape of an elongated strip with a longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the housing 10, and the longitudinal direction is along the x-direction.

[0046] The outer guide plate 60 is rotatably provided at the air outlet 12 for opening and closing the air outlet 12. Specifically, the rotation axis of the outer guide plate 60 is parallel to its longitudinal direction x. The outer guide plate 60 may be in the shape of an elongated strip with its longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 12. The outer guide plate 60 also has at least one accommodating portion 65 for accommodating at least one moisture storage module 66, or may be provided without the moisture storage module 66 to directly accommodate water. The moisture storage module 66 is made of a material that is easy to absorb and release water. When any part of the moisture storage module 66 comes into contact with water, the water can automatically move to all parts of the moisture storage module 66. For example, the moisture storage module 66 may be a sponge. Sponges are easy to absorb water, conduct water, and release water, and are low in cost.

[0047] The inner guide plate 50 is rotatably disposed within the air outlet 12 to guide the airflow from the air outlet 12. Specifically, the rotation axis of the inner guide plate 50 is parallel to its longitudinal direction x. The inner guide plate 50 can be in the shape of an elongated strip with its longitudinal direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the air outlet 12. The inner guide plate includes a water guide module 58. The water guide module 58 is made of a material that easily absorbs and releases water. When any part of the water guide module 58 comes into contact with water, the water automatically moves to various locations within the water guide module 58. For example, the water guide module 58 can be a sponge.

[0048] The wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is configured such that: when the outer guide plate 60 and the inner guide plate 50 are rotated to an angle such that the water guide module 58 is adjacent to the receiving portion 65, so as to allow the water guide module 58 to contact the moisture storage module 66 or water (such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 ), allowing the water guide module 58 to absorb moisture. When the inner guide plate 50 guides air, the moisture from the water guide module 58 is flung into the indoor environment for humidification. This moisture is dispersed throughout the room along with the outgoing airflow, achieving even better humidification. Furthermore, the wall-mounted indoor air conditioner of this embodiment can control the amount of moisture added by controlling the rotation speed of the inner guide plate 50, a highly ingenious structure. Furthermore, users can add purifying or aromatherapy additives to the water, or directly replace water with other liquids with purifying or aromatherapy properties, to achieve indoor purification and aromatherapy functions.

[0049] In an embodiment of the present invention, when the inner guide plate 50 rotates to guide the air, the moisture in the water guide module 58 is thrown into the indoor environment, completing the humidification of the indoor environment, so that the moisture is distributed to various places in the room along with the outlet air flow, thereby achieving a better humidification effect. In addition, the inner guide plate 50 needs to rotate frequently during the air guiding process, and sometimes it needs to swing back and forth, so it is not suitable for storing large amounts of water. Therefore, if the water source is set on the inner guide plate 50, the humidification time of the inner guide plate 50 will be shorter. The main function of the outer guide plate 60 is to open and close the air outlet 12. After the air outlet 12 is opened, it does not need to be rotated. Even if it needs to be rotated, the number of times is very small. Therefore, it is suitable for storing more moisture for humidification of the inner guide plate 50, extending the humidification time of the inner guide plate 50.

[0050] In some embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, each accommodating portion 65 is located on the inner side 611 of the outer guide plate 60, which faces the interior of the housing 10 when the air outlet 12 is closed. Each accommodating portion 65 is a box body with a bottom connected to the inner side 611 and open in a direction away from the outer guide plate 60. One side of the box body is open to form a groove, which is used to place the humidity storage module 66.

[0051] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, each receiving portion 65 can be formed as a long strip extending along the length of the outer guide plate 60, with a triangular cross-section whose apex connects with the inner side surface 611 of the outer guide plate 60. In other words, the receiving portion 65 is a long, triangular groove. Accordingly, the moisture storage module 66 can be formed into a triangular prism shape to fit snugly within the receiving portion 65. In this embodiment, each receiving portion 65 is configured with a larger opening to allow for better contact between the water or moisture storage module 66 and the water guide module 58 of the inner guide plate 50.

[0052] In some embodiments, the outer guide plate 60 includes a plate body 61 and a plurality of mounting arms 62 connected to the plate body 61. The plurality of mounting arms 62 are arranged along the length of the outer guide plate 60 for rotationally connecting with the housing 10. There are a plurality of receiving portions 65, with one receiving portion 65 provided between every two mounting arms 62 so that the receiving portion 65 avoids the mounting arms 62. For example Figure 2 As shown, the number of the mounting arms 62 is three, and the number of the receiving portions 65 is two.

[0053] In some embodiments, as Figures 4 to 7 As shown, at least a portion of the inner guide plate 50 is hollow, forming an elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518 extending along its lengthwise direction x. A plurality of moisture-dissipating holes 510 communicating with the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518 are formed on at least one side of the inner guide plate 50. Water within the accommodating portion 65 (including water within the moisture storage module 66) flows through the plurality of moisture-dissipating holes 510 into the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518. The water-conducting module 58 is disposed within the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518. The water-conducting module 58 is capable of directing water injected into the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518 to various locations along the lengthwise direction of the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518, thereby achieving more uniform moisture distribution.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 7 As shown, an opening 5181 is formed on the widthwise edge of the inner guide plate 50. The opening 5181 is also the opening of the elongated moisture guide cavity 518, for inserting the water guide module 58 into the elongated moisture guide cavity 518. In this way, when the user needs to replace or clean the water guide module 58, the water guide module 58 can be removed from the opening 5181.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, multiple moisture dissipation holes 510 are formed on both sides of the inner guide plate 50. This allows both sides of the inner guide plate 50 to absorb moisture, increasing the amount of moisture absorbed. Both sides can also dissipate moisture, ensuring that moisture is dissipated into the indoor environment regardless of the angle at which the inner guide plate 50 is rotated.

[0056] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 4 As shown, the inner guide plate 50 can be provided with a water tank 516 connected to the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518. The water in the water tank 516 thus constitutes the water source for the elongated moisture-conducting cavity 518. The specific source of water can be user-added water or condensed water from the air conditioner's internal evaporator. The water in the water tank 516 is used as a supplement, and the water in the water tank and the water in the outer guide plate 60 are used together for humidification.

[0057] like Figure 4 As shown, the water tank 516 can be set at the end position near the inner guide plate 50 in the longitudinal direction to avoid the water tank 516 blocking the long strip moisture guide cavity 518 and avoid setting more short water guide modules 58, so that the water guide module 58 is more complete.

[0058] In some embodiments, the inner guide plate 50 includes an air guide section 501 or multiple air guide sections 501 arranged along the length of the inner guide plate 50 and fixedly connected. A long strip of moisture guide cavity 518 is formed on at least one air guide section 501. If multiple air guide sections 501 are provided, the overall structural stability of the inner guide plate 50 can be improved. For example Figure 4 As shown, the inner guide plate 50 includes two air guide sections 501 , and each air guide section 501 is provided with a long strip-shaped moisture guide cavity 518 .

[0059] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, each air guide section 501 includes an outer plate 51, a plurality of inner plates 52, 53 and two end plates 54, 55. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the number of inner plates is two, namely inner plate 52 and inner plate 53, forming a three-layer inner guide plate 50. Of course, the number of inner plates can also be three, four or more. Figures 1 to 5 Taking the three-layer inner guide plate 50 as an example, the structure of the inner guide plate 50 is further described. A long strip-shaped moisture guide cavity 518 is provided on the outer plate body 51.

[0060] The outer plate 51 and each inner plate 52, 53 can all be plate-shaped for guiding wind. The multiple inner plates 52, 53 are arranged in sequence along the direction away from the first side 511 of the outer plate 51. The two large surfaces of the outer plate 51 for guiding wind are the first side 511 and the second side. An air outlet gap 515 is formed between the outer plate 51 and the adjacent inner plate 52, and an air outlet gap 525 is also formed between each adjacent inner plate 52, 53 to allow air to blow out. The two end plates 54 are respectively located at the two ends of the length direction of each air guide section 501, and one end of the length direction of the outer plate 51 and the multiple inner plates 52, 53 is fixed to one end plate 54, and the other end is fixed to the other end plate 55, so that the various parts of the air guide section 501 form a stable whole. In addition, each air guide section 501 may also include at least one connecting plate 56, located between the two end plates 54, 55. This connecting plate 56 is also used to securely connect the outer plate 51 and the multiple inner plates 52, 53, thereby further strengthening the structure of the air guide section 501. The outer plate 51, the inner plates 52, 53, the two end plates 54, 55, and the connecting plate 56 may be formed as a single, integral component, such as a single-piece injection molded part. The end plate 54 may be provided with a mounting shaft for rotatable mounting to the housing 10 of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit.

[0061] The inner guide plate 50 of the embodiment of the present invention comprises an outer plate 51 and multiple inner plates 52 and 53, forming a multi-layered structure. When the inner guide plate 50 guides air, a portion of the outgoing airflow is directed by the outer plate 51, while another portion of the outgoing airflow enters the air outlet gap between the outer plate 51 and the adjacent inner plate, as well as the air outlet gap between two adjacent inner plates 52 and 53. The outer plate 51 and the multiple inner plates 52 and 53 jointly guide the outgoing airflow, achieving a multi-layered guiding effect. This unifies the direction of the airflow discharged from the air outlet 12, smoothing the airflow and improving user comfort.

[0062] For each air guide section 501, at least one of the two end plates 54, 55 is provided with at least one anti-condensation hole 541, 542. Specifically, each end plate 54, 55 can be provided with an anti-condensation hole 541, 542. Alternatively, only the end plate 54 constituting the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the inner guide plate 50 can be provided with the anti-condensation hole 541, 542. Figure 5 For the end plate 54, the number of the anti-condensation hole can be one or more. Figure 5As shown, the end plate 54 is provided with three anti-condensation holes 541 and 542. These holes penetrate the end plate 54 and allow airflow on both sides of the end plate 54 to merge and exchange. This allows the airflow on both sides of the end plate 54 to merge and flow, allowing the airflow on both sides of the end plate 54 to flow freely and surround the space on both sides of the end plate 54. This airflow improves the flow of the cool air, preventing the relatively high room temperature air from forming on either side of the end plate 54 and, consequently, preventing condensation from forming on the surfaces of the end plate 54.

[0063] Furthermore, the inventors have found that the closer the end plate 54 is to the outer plate 51, the greater the risk of condensation, so the total area of the anti-condensation holes corresponding to the air outlet interval closer to the outer plate 51 can be made larger. Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet space 515 is closer to the outer plate 51 than the air outlet space 525 , so the total area of the two anti-condensation holes 541 of each air outlet space 515 is larger than the total area of the anti-condensation holes 542 corresponding to the air outlet space 525 .

[0064] In some embodiments, as Figure 4 The adjacent end plates 55 of each two adjacent air guide sections 501 are spaced apart and fixedly connected by a connecting portion 57. The outer plate 51, the inner plates 52, 53, the end plates 54, 55 and the connecting portion 57 can be an integral part made by an integral molding process.

[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 As shown, a plurality of dimples 530 may be formed on the side 531 of the inner panel 53 furthest from the outer panel 51, facing away from the adjacent inner panel 52. Airflow passing through the surface provided with the dimples 530 becomes turbulent under the action of the dimples 530, which reduces the possibility of condensation and softens the impact of the airflow, thereby enhancing the wind sensation for the human body.

[0066] In some embodiments, as Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the orthographic projection of the inner panel 52 onto the outer panel 51 can be made to fall on the outer panel 51, rather than on its extension line. The orthographic projection of the inner panel 53 onto the inner panel 52 can be made to fall on the inner panel 52, rather than on its extension line. In other words, the width of the inner panel 52 is made smaller than that of the outer panel 51, and the width of the inner panel 53 is made smaller than that of the inner panel 52. The width direction of the outer panel 51 is the direction in which the airflow flows along the first side surface 511 of the inner guide plate 50. The width direction of each layer of the inner panels 52, 53 is also the direction in which the airflow flows along the inner panels 52, 53. More preferably, the width of the inner panel 53 is made smaller than 1 / 2 of the width of the inner panel 52, and the width of the inner panel 52 is made smaller than 1 / 3 of the width of the outer panel 51.

[0067] In this way, the outer side of the inner plate 53 forms a low wind speed zone, and the area between the inner plate 53 and the inner plate 52 forms an acceleration zone. When the airflow flows through the acceleration zone, the pressure increases significantly, which helps to increase the air supply distance. Between the inner plate 52 and the outer plate 51 is a guide area, which is mainly used to guide the direction of the airflow of the main part of the airflow. In addition, the reason why the width of each layer of the inner plate 52 and 53 is designed to be smaller than the outer plate 51 in this embodiment is to avoid the air guide distance of the air outlet interval being too long, resulting in too much resistance to the airflow, and excessively affecting the air volume and wind speed of the air outlet 12. Moreover, the smaller the width of the inner plate farther away from the outer plate 51, the easier it is for the air supply airflow to enter each air outlet interval smoothly and be guided by the inner plates 52 and 53. Regardless of whether the airflow flows toward the first side surface 511 at an angle parallel to the outer plate 51 or rushes toward the first side surface 511 at an inclined angle, it can better enter each air outlet interval.

[0068] In some embodiments, the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit may be the indoor portion of a split wall-mounted room air conditioner that utilizes a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system for cooling / heating. A heat exchanger and a fan are provided inside the housing 10. The heat exchanger, the throttling device, and the compressor, the condenser, and other refrigeration components provided in the air conditioner outdoor unit are connected through pipelines to form a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system. Under the action of the fan, indoor air enters the interior of the housing 10 through the air inlet 11 at the top of the housing 10, and after completing forced convection heat exchange with the heat exchanger, heat exchange wind is formed and enters the air duct.
