DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application but not all the embodiments.

[0030] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0031] As Figure 1 shown, the present application provides a submersible air conditioning system, which includes an outer shell 10, an inner shell 20, a first semiconductor cold heat exchanger 30, a second semiconductor cold heat exchanger 40, an air valve assembly, an air port assembly and an air fan assembly.

[0032] The inner shell 20 is nested in the outer shell 10, and an annular cavity 100 is formed between the inner shell 20 and the outer shell 10, and the inner shell 20 is internally provided with a cabin space 200 of the submersible vehicle. The first semiconductor cooler 30 is arranged in the annular cavity 100 and located on the right side, one side surface of the first semiconductor cooler 30 is attached to the inner wall of the outer shell 10, and the other side surface of the first semiconductor cooler 30 is connected with a diffusion structure 31 with uniform gaps. The second semiconductor cooler 40 is arranged in the annular cavity 100 and located on the left side, one side surface of the second semiconductor cooler 40 is attached to the inner wall of the outer shell 10, and the other side surface of the second semiconductor cooler 40 is connected with a solid dehumidification structure 41. The air valve assembly includes a first air valve 51 and a second air valve 52; the first air valve 51 is arranged on the upper side of the annular cavity 100 and between the first semiconductor cooler 30 and the second semiconductor cooler 40, and is used to block or communicate the annular cavity 100; the second air valve 52 is arranged on the lower side of the annular cavity 100 and between the first semiconductor cooler 30 and the second semiconductor cooler 40, and is used to close or communicate the annular cavity 100. The air port assembly includes a first air port 61, a second air port 62, a third air port 63 and a fourth air port 64; all the air ports are arranged on the inner shell 20 and are used to communicate the annular cavity 100 and the cabin space 200, and each air port can be closed or opened; the first air port 61 is located between the first semiconductor cooler 30 and the first air valve 51; the second air port 62 is located between the first semiconductor cooler 30 and the second air valve 52; the third air port 63 is located between the second semiconductor cooler 40 and the first air valve 51; and the fourth air port 64 is located between the second semiconductor cooler 40 and the second air valve 52. The fan assembly includes a first fan 71 and a second fan 72; the first fan 71 is arranged in the annular cavity 100 between the first air port 61 and the second air port 62; and the second fan 72 is arranged in the annular cavity 100 between the third air port 63 and the fourth air port 64.

[0033] All the components related to heating, cooling and dehumidification in the submersible vehicle air conditioning system of the present application, such as the semiconductor cooler, the air valve and the fan, are all integrated and arranged in the annular cavity 100 between the outer shell 10 and the inner shell 20, and do not occupy any cabin space 200 inside the submersible vehicle. At the same time, the semiconductor cooler has no moving parts during the cooling and heating process, has small volume and almost no noise, and the cooling and heating functions of the semiconductor cooler do not require freon, thus directly eliminating the hidden danger of freon leakage.

[0034] In an embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 The first fan 71 is arranged in the annular cavity 100 opposite to the first air port 61; and the second fan 72 is arranged in the annular cavity 100 opposite to the third air port 63. The arrangement is more conducive to blowing air into the interior of the submersible vehicle and facilitating air circulation.

[0035] In one embodiment, the diffusion structure 31 is a uniformly arranged rib structure or a uniformly arranged column structure. The diffusion structure 31 is made of a thermally conductive material, not limited to materials with good thermal conductivity such as copper, aluminum and graphite.

[0036] In one implementation scheme, such as Figure 3 As shown, the solid dehumidification structure 41 is a multi-layered corrugated structure, which is made of thermally conductive and moisture-absorbing materials. During the fabrication of the corrugated structure, thermally conductive particles can be incorporated into the moisture-absorbing material to increase its thermal conductivity. The selection of solid moisture-absorbing materials is not limited to lithium chloride, silica gel, and zeolite molecular sieves, and the material of the thermally conductive particles within the solid moisture-absorbing material is not limited to materials with good thermal conductivity such as copper, aluminum, and graphite.

[0037] In one implementation scheme, such as Figure 1 As shown, in addition to the portions of the first semiconductor heater 30 and the second semiconductor heater 40 that are in contact with the inner surface of the outer casing 10, an insulation layer 70 is applied to the other inner surfaces of the outer casing 10 to reduce and slow down the heat exchange between the cabin air and the seawater, thereby improving the temperature retention effect.

[0038] In one implementation, the submarine's air conditioning system includes a cooling mode. For example... Figure 4 As shown, in the cooling mode, both the first air valve 51 and the second air valve 52 are closed; the first air vent 61 is open and the second air vent 62 is open; the first semiconductor heat exchanger 30 is working and the second semiconductor heat exchanger 40 is shut down; the side of the first semiconductor heat exchanger 30 connected to the diffusion structure 31 is the cooling surface, and the contact surface with the inner surface of the outer shell 10 is the heating surface; the first fan 71 is started, so that the airflow is drawn from the chamber space 200 into the annular cavity 100 through the second air vent 62, flows through the surface of the diffusion structure 31, and is discharged into the chamber space 200 through the first air vent 61.

[0039] In one implementation, the submarine's air conditioning system includes a dehumidification mode. For example... Figure 5 As shown, in dehumidification mode, both the first air valve 51 and the second air valve 52 are closed; the third air vent 63 and the fourth air vent 64 are open; the first semiconductor heater 30 is off; and the second semiconductor heater 40 is either off or operating. When the second semiconductor heater 40 is operating, the side connected to the solid dehumidification structure 41 is the cooling surface, and the surface in contact with the inner surface of the outer casing 10 is the heating surface. The second fan 72 is started, causing airflow to be drawn from the chamber space 200 into the annular cavity 100 through the fourth air vent 64, flowing over the surface of the solid dehumidification structure 41, and then discharged back into the chamber space 200 through the third air vent 63. The solid dehumidification structure 41, cooled by the second semiconductor heater 40, accelerates the condensation of moisture in the air, increasing the air dehumidification rate.

[0040] In one implementation, the submarine's air conditioning system includes a cooling and dehumidification mode. For example...Figure 6 As shown, in the cooling and dehumidification mode, the first air valve 51 is closed and the second air valve 52 is open; the first air outlet 61 is open, the second air outlet 62 is closed, the third air outlet 63 is open, and the fourth air outlet 64 is closed; the first semiconductor cooler 30 is working, and the side of the first semiconductor cooler 30 connected to the diffusion structure 31 is the cooling surface, and the contact surface with the inner surface of the outer shell 10 is the heating surface; the second semiconductor cooler 40 is either off or working. When it is working, the side of the second semiconductor cooler 40 connected to the solid dehumidification structure 41 is the cooling surface, and the contact surface with the inner surface of the outer shell 10 is the heating surface; the second fan 72 is started, so that the airflow is drawn from the chamber space 200 into the annular cavity 100 through the first air outlet 61, flows through the surface of the diffusion structure 31 and the surface of the solid dehumidification structure 41, and then is discharged into the chamber space 200 through the third air outlet 63.

[0041] It should be noted that when the first semiconductor cooler 30 in the cooling dehumidification mode is working, it only needs to bear the sensible heat load of the air. The surface temperature of its diffusion structure 31 does not need to be reduced to the air dew point temperature, thus keeping its power at a relatively low level. Similarly, the solid dehumidification structure 41 only bears the latent heat load of the air. Because the solid dehumidification structure 41 generates heat during the absorption of water vapor from the air, its ability to absorb water vapor decreases. If rapid dehumidification of the air is required, the second semiconductor cooler 40 is activated, making its contact surface with the solid dehumidification structure 41 a cooling surface. The second semiconductor cooler 40 cools the solid dehumidification structure 41, which can further improve the air dehumidification rate.

[0042] In one implementation, the submarine's air conditioning system includes a heating mode. For example... Figure 7 As shown, in the heating mode, both the first air valve 51 and the second air valve 52 are closed; the first air vent 61 is open and the second air vent 62 is open; the first semiconductor heater 30 is working and the second semiconductor heater 40 is off; the side of the first semiconductor heater 30 connected to the diffusion structure 31 is the heating surface, and the contact surface with the inner surface of the outer shell 10 is the cooling surface; the first fan 71 is started, so that the airflow is drawn from the chamber space 200 into the annular cavity 100 through the second air vent 62, flows through the surface of the diffusion structure 31, and is discharged into the chamber space 200 through the first air vent 61.

[0043] In one implementation, the submersible's air conditioning system uses a dehumidification and regeneration mode. For example... Figure 8As shown, in the dehumidification regeneration mode, the first air valve 51 is closed, and the second air valve 52 is opened; the first air port 61 is opened, the second air port 62 is closed, and the third air port 63 is opened; the fourth air port 64 is closed; the first semiconductor cold heat exchanger 30 works, and the side of the first semiconductor cold heat exchanger 30 connected with the diffusion structure 31 is the heating side, and the contact side with the inner surface of the shell 10 is the cooling side; the second semiconductor cold heat exchanger 40 works, and the side of the second semiconductor cold heat exchanger 40 connected with the solid dehumidification structure 41 is the heating side, and the contact side with the inner surface of the shell 10 is the cooling side; the second air fan 72 is started, so that the air flow is sucked into the annular cavity 100 from the cabin space 200 through the first air port 61, and then flows through the surfaces of the diffusion structure 31 and the solid dehumidification structure 41, and is discharged into the cabin space 200 through the third air port 63, and then is discharged to the outside through the hatch of the submarine, so as to reduce the moisture in the solid dehumidification structure 41, and restore the water absorption capacity of the solid dehumidification structure 41.

[0044] In conclusion, the submarine air conditioning system of the present application can at least realize five working modes of the cooling mode, the dehumidification mode, the cooling and dehumidification mode, the heating mode and the dehumidification regeneration mode, and better meets the environmental regulation requirements in the submarine.

[0045] The preferred embodiments of the present application have been described above, but the present application is not limited to the above, and various modifications and changes can be made by those skilled in the art. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
