[0033] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will describe the technical solutions of the present invention in detail. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation manners obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope protected by the present invention.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", "third", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0035] In the description of the present invention, it should also be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0036] The present invention provides a fan coil unit, and the fan coil unit 10 includes at least two shunts 13 arranged in parallel between a water inlet pipe 11 and a water outlet pipe 12, and each shunt 13 includes at least one flow path.

[0037] At this time, the fluid processed by other components can flow into each of the shunts 13 arranged in parallel through the water inlet pipe 11, and is finally discharged after being aggregated through the water outlet pipe 12. During the process of the fluid flowing through each shunt 13, different shunts 13 can obtain corresponding heat exchange amounts according to the number of flow paths they have. The outlet air temperature is affected by the heat exchange amount.

[0038] The number of the above shunts 13 and the number of flow paths corresponding to each shunt 13 can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no limitation is imposed thereon herein.

[0039] Embodiment 1:

[0040] The present invention provides a fan coil unit 10, as Figures 3-4 shown, the fan coil unit 10 includes three shunts 13 arranged in parallel, and among them, the above three shunts 13 are arranged vertically up and down along the vertical direction.

[0041] In this embodiment, the number of flow paths of different shunts 13 is different.

[0042] In order to achieve a better temperature adjustment effect and make the indoor environment temperature of the air conditioning equipment applying the fan coil unit 10 more balanced, the number of flow paths of the upper shunt 13 is set to be greater than that of the lower shunt 13. Correspondingly, with the overall width of the fan coil unit 10 remaining unchanged, the number of flow paths of the upper shunt 13 is greater than that of the lower shunt 13, which means that the height of the upper shunt 13 is greater than that of the lower shunt 13.

[0043] Generally speaking, the more the flow paths of the surface cooler, the greater the corresponding heat exchange capacity. In this embodiment, the number of flow paths of the above three different shunts 13 decreases sequentially from top to bottom along their arrangement positions, and the corresponding heat exchange capacities also gradually decrease. Therefore, there are also certain differences in the air flow temperatures corresponding to them. In addition, since the sizes of the air supply outlets 20 corresponding to different shunts 13 are different, the air volumes flowing through different shunts 13 are also different, and the blown distances are also different: the greater the air volume, the farther the air is blown, and the smaller the air volume, the closer the air is blown.

[0044] Therefore, compared with traditional equipment, the equipment with the above-mentioned fan coil unit 10 can blow air flows with different temperatures and different wind speeds at different positions of the air outlet. The speed and temperature of the air flow can be adjusted by adjusting the number of flow paths corresponding to different shunts 13, making the indoor environment temperature more balanced.

[0045] It should be noted that the number of the above-mentioned shunts 13 and the number of flow paths of different shunts 13 can be adjusted adaptively according to needs. In this embodiment, the number of flow paths of the upper shunt 13 is five, the number of flow paths of the middle shunt 13 is three, and the number of flow paths of the middle shunt 13 is two. Since each shunt 13 is connected to the water inlet pipe 11 and the water outlet pipe 12, correspondingly, in addition to the above-mentioned flow paths, each shunt 13 also includes a water inlet shunt and a water outlet shunt. After the water flows into the water inlet shunt through the water inlet pipe 11, it then evenly flows into different flow paths, and finally after the initial confluence through the above-mentioned water outlet shunt, it is discharged through the water outlet pipe 12.

[0046] Embodiment 2:

[0047] The present invention also provides an air supply component, including the fan coil unit 10 described in any one of the above, and the fan coil unit 10 is located inside the air supply outlet 20.

[0048] Specifically, the above-mentioned air supply component further includes an air supply outlet 20 with a partition plate 22. The partition plate 22 can divide the air supply outlet 20 into at least two independent air supply outlets 21, and the number of shunts 13 is the same as that of the air supply outlets 21 and they are arranged in one-to-one correspondence.

[0049] In this embodiment, the number of partition plates 22 is two. Under the action of the partition plates 22, the air supply openings 20 are separated into three different air supply outlets 21, and the above-mentioned air supply outlets 21 are arranged in one-to-one correspondence with the shunt paths 13 formed on the fan coil unit 10.

[0050] As Figure 5 shown, the above three air supply outlets 21 are arranged vertically up and down along the vertical line.

[0051] Considering that the number of flow paths of the above-mentioned shunt path 13 decreases as its height decreases, the sizes of different air supply outlets 21 also decrease as the height of the position of the corresponding air supply outlet 21 decreases.

[0052] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the height between the above-mentioned air supply outlets 21 is positively correlated with the number of flow paths and the height of the corresponding shunt path 13.

[0053] The greater the height of the air supply outlet 21, the larger the size corresponding to the air supply outlet 21, and the greater the air supply volume. Under the condition that other conditions are the same, the greater the air supply volume, the farther the wind blows, and the smaller the air supply volume, the closer the wind blows. Therefore, the heights of the multiple air supply outlets 21 separated by the above-mentioned partition plates 22 can be adjusted according to the number of flow paths and the height of the shunt path 13, so as to cooperate with the corresponding shunt path 13 to achieve a better and more balanced air outlet effect.

[0054] When arranging the above-mentioned partition plates 22, they can be arranged horizontally. The partition plates 22 can adjust their inclination angles relative to the horizontal plane as needed to meet different air supply requirements.

[0055] In this embodiment, the partition plate 22 is a flat plate structure.

[0056] As Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 is the indoor temperature distribution diagram corresponding to the air flow blown out from the air supply opening 20, and the above curve diagram is drawn on the premise that the air supply opening 20 remains stationary.

[0057] Under the action of the shunt 13 with different numbers of flow paths and the air supply outlets 21 with different heights, the temperatures, wind speeds, and corresponding air volumes of the airflows blown out from different heights of the air supply outlet 20 are all different. Among them, the air volume of the air supply outlet 21 corresponding to the uppermost shunt 13 is the largest, and its corresponding heat exchange amount is also the largest. Therefore, the temperature of the airflow blown out by it is the lowest and the blowing distance of the airflow is relatively far. Because the blowing distance of the airflow is relatively far, the heat loss during its flow is relatively large. After a certain amount of loss, the temperature finally falling at the S1 position is close to the human comfort temperature. Correspondingly, the air volume of the air supply outlet 21 corresponding to the middle shunt 13 is slightly smaller, and its corresponding heat exchange amount is also slightly smaller. Therefore, the temperature of the airflow blown out by it is relatively slightly higher and the blowing distance is moderate. After a certain amount of loss, the temperature finally falling at the S2 position is also close to the human comfort temperature and this temperature is basically the same as the temperature measured at S1. Similarly, the same is true for the other air outlet. The temperatures measured at the above-mentioned three points S1, S2, and S3 are basically the same and the temperature difference does not exceed 1°C.

[0058] Compared with the traditional air outlet device, on the premise that the position of the air supply outlet 20 remains unchanged, the technical solution provided in this embodiment can adjust the temperatures at different positions in the room by adjusting the air supply temperatures and wind speeds at different heights on the air supply outlet 20, etc., making the temperatures at different positions in the room more balanced and improving the user experience. At the same time, compared with the air supply device that can perform sweeping, this solution can also solve the problem of large temperature fluctuations caused by sweeping during the up-and-down sweeping process, helping to improve the comfort of the indoor environment.

[0059] Embodiment 3:

[0060] The difference between this Embodiment 3 and Embodiment 2 is that as Figures 7-8 shown, the present invention provides another structure of the air supply member.

[0061] In this embodiment, the width of the partition 22 pointing to the outside of the air supply outlet 21 is greater than the width pointing to the inside of the air supply outlet 21.

[0062] The above structure can increase the air velocity of the corresponding air supply outlet 21 by appropriately reducing the height of the air supply outlet 21 without changing the air volume, so that the airflow can be blown farther.

[0063] This structural design can increase the air supply distance, enabling the air supply member to better adapt to the indoor environment with a relatively large space.

[0064] On the basis of this technical solution, the widths of the partition 22 in different directions corresponding to the air supply outlet 21 can be changed by adjusting the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the partition 22.

[0065] Specifically, when the upper surface of the partition 22 is an inclined plane, the height of the air supply outlet 21 above the partition 22 is reduced at this time, while the height of the air supply outlet 21 below the partition 22 may increase or remain unchanged. Similarly, when the lower surface of the partition 22 is an inclined plane, the height of the air supply outlet 21 below the partition 22 is reduced at this time, while the height of the air supply outlet 21 above the partition 22 may increase or remain unchanged.

[0066] In addition, the above inclined plane can be an inclined plane or an inclined curved surface.

[0067] Alternatively, the cross-section of the partition 22 can also be set as a triangular or L-shaped structure.

[0068] As long as the partition 22 can realize the function of adjusting the size of the corresponding air supply outlet 21 by changing its own shape, its specific shape is not limited to the protection scope of this solution.

[0069] In this embodiment, in addition to adjusting the inclination of the upper surface and / or the lower surface of the partition 22 by changing the shape of the partition 22, it can also be realized by arranging a corresponding support 23 structure below the partition 22:

[0070] As an optional implementation manner, a support 23 is further provided at the air supply outlet 21, and at least one partition 22 is inclined and fixed on the air supply port 20 through the support 23.

[0071] The structure of the above support 23 can be L-shaped, or a corner-shaped structure with an acute angle, or a triangular structure, etc.

[0072] As Figure 8 shown, the support 23 is located below the partition 22. At this time, the upper surface of the support 23 is inclined, and the end pointing to the outside of the air supply outlet 21 is bent downward by a certain distance along the vertical line, and finally forms a structure with an acute angle corner or a similar triangle. Under the action of this support 23, the height of the uppermost air supply outlet 21 is reduced, while the height of the air supply outlet 21 in the middle remains unchanged.

[0073] Embodiment 4:

[0074] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, including the fan coil unit 10 described in any one of the above.

[0075] It can be understood that the technical solution provided in this embodiment can realize the adjustment of the air volume and temperature of the air flow at different heights at the air outlet of the air conditioner through the parallel shunts 13 arranged at different heights of the fan coil unit 10, and adjust the temperature at different positions in the room by changing the air blowing distance and temperature, so as to achieve the effect of more balanced indoor temperature distribution and improve the user's comfort.

[0076] Embodiment 5:

[0077] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, including the air supply component described in any one of the above.

[0078] It can be understood that the technical solution provided in this embodiment can adjust the air volume, air speed, temperature, etc. of the air flow at different heights at the air outlet of the air conditioner by means of the parallel shunts 13 arranged at different heights of the fan coil unit 10 and the air supply outlets 21 arranged at different heights corresponding to the shunts 13. By changing the air blowing distance and temperature, the temperature at different positions in the room is adjusted to achieve the effect of more balanced indoor temperature distribution and improve the user's comfort.

[0079] The above is only the specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can easily think of changes or substitutions, which should all be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
