Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a fan assembly and an air conditioning unit. Background Technology

[0002] The heat exchange efficiency of a heat exchanger is one of the important factors affecting the cooling / heating effect and operating energy consumption of an air conditioner. Uniform airflow velocity distribution throughout the heat exchanger is key to enhancing heat exchange efficiency. Currently, the centrifugal fan intake in vertical air conditioners is directly facing the heat exchanger. Figure 1 As shown), the low-pressure area at the centrifugal fan inlet will directly affect the middle area of ​​the heat exchanger. Figure 2 As shown), this will cause uneven distribution of the windward velocity in the heat exchanger. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, this leads to low heat exchange efficiency in the heat exchanger. To solve this problem, traditional methods include using a rectifier structure to split the airflow, making the airflow velocity distribution in the heat exchanger uniform, or adjusting the refrigerant flow rate in different flow paths of the heat exchanger to improve the heat exchanger efficiency. However, the rectifier structure increases the duct resistance, resulting in a loss of the air conditioner's total air volume, and adjusting the refrigerant flow rate in different flow paths of the heat exchanger cannot fully utilize the heat exchanger's heat exchange performance.

[0038] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that the terms "inner", "outer" and the like indicate the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a particular orientation, be constructed and operated in a particular orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0039] In the description of the present application, it should be noted that unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connection", "connection", "contact", "communication" should be understood broadly, for example, it can be fixedly connected, or it can be detachably connected, or integrally connected; it can be mechanically connected, or it can be electrically connected; it can be directly connected, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] The present application provides a kind of air duct assembly, by optimizing the position layout of air duct structure and each component to avoid the low pressure area generated by centrifugal fan inlet directly acts on part of heat exchanger surface, simultaneously control cavity volume ratio and distance a parameter range, so that the pressure of centrifugal fan inlet low pressure area is self-adapting dispersion in cavity, low pressure is relatively uniformly acted on the entire heat exchanger surface, to promote the uniformity of wind speed distribution of the entire heat exchanger surface. At the same time, adopt arc line type air deflector to reduce air duct resistance, improve the wind speed of inlet, to increase the air volume of whole machine.

[0041] As Figures 4-14 The air duct assembly of the present application includes a heat exchanger 10 and a fan assembly.

[0042] The fan assembly includes an outer shell, which is provided with a rear inlet and upper and lower outlets (not shown in the figure);

[0043] The fan assembly is arranged in the outer shell, and the fan assembly includes an air duct shell 21 and a centrifugal fan set arranged in the air duct shell. The rotational axis of the centrifugal fan set is preferably perpendicular to the height direction of the outer shell. The air duct shell is provided with a left suction inlet 211 and a right suction inlet 212 on the left and right sides of the fan, respectively.

[0044] The heat exchanger 10 is arranged between the shell and the air duct shell body opposite to the rear air inlet of the shell; the fan assembly is preferably composed of double centrifugal fans and forms double air suction. In one example, the air duct shell body 21 can further include an upper air outlet 213 and a lower air outlet 214, the upper air outlet corresponds to the upper air outlet of the shell, the lower air outlet corresponds to the lower air outlet of the shell, and the upper air outlet 213 and the lower air outlet 214 are communicated with the left air suction port 211 and the right air suction port 212. Thus, the fan assembly forms a double-suction double-exhaust air duct. More specifically, the air duct shell body 21 can include a first cavity 215 and a second cavity 216, the upper air outlet 213 is formed in the first cavity 215, and the lower air outlet 214 is formed in the second cavity 216.

[0045] The fan assembly further includes a left air guide plate 22 and a right air guide plate 23, the left air guide plate 22 is located on the left side of the left air suction port 211, and the right air guide plate 23 is located on the right side of the right air suction port 212; wherein the external airflow is guided by the left air guide plate 22 to the left air suction port 211 and guided by the right air guide plate 23 to the right air suction port 212 after being heated by the heat exchanger 10 under the action of the rotating centrifugal force of the fan 24.

[0046] The fan assembly of the present application forms left and right double suction, cooperates with the left air guide plate 22 and the right air guide plate 23, avoids the low pressure area generated by the fan inlet (the left air suction port 211 and the right air suction port 212) from directly acting on part of the surface of the heat exchanger, thereby promoting the uniformity of the wind speed distribution of the entire heat exchanger surface, increasing the heat exchange area, and greatly improving the heat exchange efficiency.

[0047] In some embodiments, the left air guide plate and the air duct shell form an expansion space at the left air suction port of the fan group; the right air guide plate and the air duct shell form another expansion space at the right air suction port of the fan group, thereby reducing the turbulent loss and noise generated when the air from the heat exchanger is guided by the left and right air guide plates to the left and right air suction ports.

[0048] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 10, the left air guide plate 22, the right air guide plate 23, and the outer wall of the air duct shell 21 enclose a third cavity 30, the external airflow enters the third cavity 30 after being heated by the heat exchanger 10 under the action of the rotating centrifugal force of the fan 24, and is guided by the left air guide plate 22 and the right air guide plate 23 to the left air suction port 211 and guided by the right air guide plate to the right air suction port 212.

[0049] The heat exchanger 10, the left air guide plate 22, the right air guide plate 23, and the outer wall of the air duct shell 21 of the present application enclose a third cavity 30, which guides the airflow at the fan inlet (the left air suction port 211 and the right air suction port 212), increases the heat exchange area, and allows more hot air to enter the left air suction port 211 and the right air suction port 212, thereby improving the air suction efficiency.

[0050] In some embodiments, asFigure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the left air guide plate 22 is fixed to the left side of the air duct housing 21 and covers the left air intake 211, and the right air guide plate 23 is fixed to the right side of the air duct housing 21 and covers the right air intake 212; wherein, the inner surface 221 of the rear side of the left air guide plate 22 is located outside the outer surface 101 of the left side of the heat exchanger 10, and the inner surface of the rear side of the right air guide plate 23 is located outside the outer surface of the right side of the heat exchanger. This ensures the sealing of the third cavity 30 and prevents airflow from escaping from the gap between the air guide plate and the heat exchanger.

[0051] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the fan assembly also includes an upper support plate 26 and a lower water tray 25. The upper support plate 26 is fixed to the upper air outlet 213 of the air duct housing 21, and the lower water tray 25 is fixed to the lower air outlet 214 of the air duct housing 21. The upper ends of the left guide plate 22 and the right guide plate 23 are respectively fixed to the air duct housing 21 via the upper support plate 26. The lower ends of the left guide plate 22 and the right guide plate 23 are respectively fixed to the air duct housing 21 via the lower water tray 25 or directly fixed to the air duct housing 21.

[0052] In some embodiments, the cross-sections of the left guide plate 22 and the right guide plate 23 are both arc-shaped, wherein the inner arc surface of the left guide plate 22 faces the left air intake 211, and the inner arc surface of the right guide plate 23 faces the right air intake 212. The arc-shaped cross-sections of the left guide plate 22 and the right guide plate 23, compared to straight sections, reduce duct resistance and increase the airflow velocity in the lower tip area, thereby improving the overall airflow (e.g., ...). Figure 14 (As shown). In one example, the heat exchanger 10 can have a U-shaped cross-section, and the left air guide plate 22 and the right air guide plate 23 can be arc-shaped. This design can also make the air conditioner look more rounded and beautiful, thus improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner.

[0053] like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the height of the heat exchanger 10 is h, and the height of the fan's rotating shaft is h / 2. The value of h can range from 1.2m to 0.5m, preferably h=0.9m. The rotating axis O of the centrifugal fan is on the same horizontal plane as half the height h / 2 of the heat exchanger 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8As shown, the third cavity 30 includes a third upper half cavity and a third lower half cavity, the volume of the third upper half cavity is Vs, the volume of the third lower half cavity is Vx, wherein Vs / Vx = 0.9~1.1, the third upper half cavity and the third lower half cavity are bounded by the rotation axis O of the fan 24. The third cavity is divided into the third upper half cavity and the third lower half cavity by the horizontal plane at the height of the rotation axis O of the centrifugal fan. The volume of the third upper half cavity is Vs, the volume of the third lower half cavity is Vx, the volume ratio v of the third upper half cavity to the third lower half cavity is Vs / Vx, and v ranges from 0.9 to 1.1, and the best value is v = 1. This is more conducive to ensuring the uniformity of the wind speed of the upper half and the lower half of the heat exchanger, and is more conducive to improving the uniformity of the wind speed distribution on the surface of the entire heat exchanger.

[0055] In some embodiments, the third cavity further includes a third left half cavity and a third right half cavity, the volume of the third left half cavity is Wz, the volume of the third right half cavity is Wy, wherein Wz / Wy = 0.9~1.1, the third left half cavity and the third right half cavity are bounded by the perpendicular bisector E of the rotation axis O of the fan. The third cavity is divided into the third left half cavity and the third right half cavity by the perpendicular bisector E, the volume of the third left half cavity is Wz, and the volume of the third right half cavity is Wy. The volume ratio w of the third left half cavity to the third right half cavity is Wz / Wy, and w ranges from 0.9 to 1.1, and the best value is w = 1. This is more conducive to ensuring the uniformity of the wind speed of the left half and the right half of the heat exchanger, and is more conducive to improving the uniformity of the wind speed distribution on the surface of the entire heat exchanger.

[0056] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the minimum distance a from the air duct shell 21 to the heat exchanger 10 is 10mm~30mm, and the best value is a = 12mm. The smaller the distance a, the closer the air duct shell is to the heat exchanger, which will cause the wind speed in the area of the heat exchanger 10 near the air duct shell to decrease, and the wind speed distribution on the surface of the entire heat exchanger will be uneven, which will reduce the heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, the air duct resistance in the third cavity will increase, which will reduce the air volume of the air conditioner. The larger the distance a, the farther the air duct shell is from the heat exchanger. Due to the size limitation of the air conditioner, the impeller radius will be compressed and reduced, and the efficiency of the fan of the air conditioner will be reduced. Moreover, due to the space limitation of the shape of the air conditioner, the distance a cannot be too large. Therefore, after comprehensive analysis, the best value range of the distance a is 10~30mm. And / or,

[0057] The maximum distance from the air duct shell 21 to the heat exchanger 10 is b, b is in the range of 450mm-350mm, preferably b=380mm;And / or, the maximum distance from the right side of the air duct shell 21 to the right air deflector 23 is c, c is in the range of 70mm-90mm, preferably c=85mm;And / or, the maximum distance from the left side of the air duct shell 21 to the left air deflector is also c, c is in the range of 70mm-90mm, preferably c=85mm;And / or, the diameter of the left air inlet and the right air inlet is d, d is in the range of 180mm-250mm, preferably d=210mm;And / or, the width of the inner cavity of the air duct shell 21 is e, e is in the range of 150mm-230mm, preferably e=190mm;And / or, the width of the fan 24 is f, f is in the range of 155mm-175mm, preferably f=160mm;And / or, the radius of the fan is r, r is in the range of 115mm-145mm, preferably r=130mm.

[0058] By optimizing the relative position layout and parameters of the air duct shell (air duct shell 21), the heat exchanger 10, the double-suction centrifugal fan 24, the left air deflector 22, the right air deflector 23, the lower water pan 25 and the upper support plate 26, the control cavity volume ratio and the distance a parameter range, the pressure in the low pressure area of the centrifugal fan inlet is self-adaptively dispersed in the third cavity, and the low pressure is relatively uniformly applied to the entire heat exchanger surface, thereby promoting the uniformity of the wind speed distribution of the entire heat exchanger surface, as shown in Figure 12 and 13
