Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioner accessories, and in particular to an external automatic water replenishing device for a wearable air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] Wearable air conditioners are mainly composed of two parts: a refrigeration unit and a wearable suit. Due to weight and volume issues, conventional wearable air conditioners mainly use an external circulating water tank for the refrigeration unit, and a built-in circulating pipe arrangement and installation method in the wearable suit to solve the problem of wearability. However, this arrangement cannot obtain the internal circulating water in a timely manner. In this case, the circulation flow is lost. If the operator fails to replenish the water source in time, or the end of the water replenishment pipe is bent and squeezed when the operator is in a sitting position, the normal suction operation of the pump group that supplies water to the circulation pipe will be directly affected. As a result, the internal circulating water cannot circulate in time and at a uniform speed, resulting in uneven temperature differences in a short period of time, resulting in unsatisfactory cooling effect and poor stability. To this end, we propose an external automatic water replenishment device for wearable air conditioners to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The main purpose of the present invention is to provide an external automatic water replenishing device for a wearable air conditioner.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an external automatic water replenishment device for a wearable air conditioner, comprising a circulating water storage tank and a circulating water supply drive, wherein the circulating water supply drive is fixedly connected to both ends of the circulating water storage tank, and an outer water-adding protective component for providing external contact support force to the circulating water storage tank is provided on the inner side of the circulating water supply drive, and a water inlet support component for anti-flattening support when the water outlet end is bent is provided between the water-adding protective component and the circulating water supply drive, and the water-adding protective component comprises an outer jacket frame, a central connecting column and a folding gap, wherein the central connecting column is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer jacket frame, and the inner side of the outer jacket frame A folding gap is provided on the side, the circulating water storage tank is embedded in the inner side of the outer casing, and the central connecting column is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circulating water storage tank. When the circulating water storage tank is in a bending state, the outer casing frame adapts to the bending along the central connecting column, and is used to support the bending of the circulating water storage tank. The water inlet support assembly includes a flexible telescopic connecting pipe, a connecting pipe head and a limiting rib. The two ends of the flexible telescopic connecting pipe are respectively fixedly connected to the circulating water supply drive and the connecting pipe head. One end of the limiting rib is connected to the outer wall of the circulating water supply drive, and the other end of the limiting rib is hingedly fixed to the outer casing frame through an axial support.
[0005] A further improvement of the present invention is that the outer four sides of the circulating water storage tank are composed of an accordion-type folding shell made of rubber material, which is used to be squeezed and tightened by external force when the folding action occurs, thereby maintaining smooth replenishment of circulating water during backflow.
[0006] A further improvement of the present invention is that a water replenishment control module is provided on the outside of the outer casing frame, and the water replenishment control module includes a time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit, a return flow sensor unit, a signal transmission unit and a microprocessor. The return flow sensor unit collects the circulation flow rate of water circulating in the air-conditioning service pipeline, and sends it to the microprocessor for calculation and processing through the signal transmission unit, and then changes the water circulation speed by controlling the expansion degree of the time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit.
[0007] A further improvement of the present invention is that the outer shell frame is provided with a telescopic movable hole, and one end of the flexible telescopic connecting tube passes through the telescopic movable hole and is slidably connected to the telescopic movable hole.
[0008] A further improvement of the present invention is that the outer shell frame is made of plastic rubber material, an embedded hollow groove is opened on the inner side of the outer shell frame, and the circulating water storage tank is located inside the embedded hollow groove.
[0009] Compared with existing technologies,
[0010] 1. The present invention adopts an accordion-type folding shell to form a circulating water storage tank and an outer shell frame, which can be folded according to the posture of the user. At the same time, the outer shell frame supports and limits the circulating water storage tank when it reaches the extreme bending state, thereby preventing the circulating water storage tank from being squeezed by the wall after excessive folding, which may cause the water flow path to be reduced. When the outer shell frame and the circulating water storage tank are in the folded state, the telescopic hole provides a displacement space for the slidable and telescopic flexible telescopic connecting pipe, so that the flexible telescopic connecting pipe stretches due to elastic action under the bending force, maintaining the normal state of the inner diameter of the pipe, thereby ensuring that the water source transported by the circulating water storage tank and the circulating pipeline can be smoothly replenished and circulated, thereby improving the stability of the water circulation.
[0011] 2. The present invention collects the circulating water flow rate of the air-conditioning suit circulation pipeline through the reflux flow sensor unit. After the microprocessor analyzes whether the current flow rate and circulating water volume are significantly reduced compared with the original flow rate, an expansion start signal is sent to the time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit and the circulating water supply drive at the delivery end 1, so that the flow rate of the circulating liquid delivery end of the circulating water storage tank is expanded, and the circulating water supply drive is started to deliver the circulating water source in the circulating water storage tank through the water inlet of the wearable suit connected to the connecting pipe head, quickly replenishing the circulating liquid into the circulation pipeline, so that the circulating water source inside the circulation pipeline is quickly filled after the water is lost, thereby solving the problem of short-term uneven temperature difference caused by the failure of timely and uniform circulation of the circulating water inside the air-conditioning suit, effectively maintaining the stability and comfort of use.

[0018] Example
[0019] See also Figures 1-4, an external automatic water replenishment device for a wearable air conditioner, comprising a circulating water storage tank 1 and a circulating water supply drive 2, the circulating water supply drive 2 being fixedly connected to the delivery end of the circulating water storage tank 1, a water adding outer protective component 3 for providing external contact support to the circulating water storage tank 1 is provided on the inner side of the circulating water supply drive 2, a water inlet support component 4 for anti-flattening support when the water outlet end is bent is provided between the water adding outer protective component 3 and the circulating water supply drive 2, the water adding outer protective component 3 comprises an outer shell frame 31, a central connecting column 32 and a folding gap 33, the central connecting column 32 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the outer shell frame 31, and a folding gap 33 is provided on the inner side of the outer shell frame 31 3. The circulating water storage tank 1 is embedded in the inner side of the outer casing frame 31, and the central connecting column 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the circulating water storage tank 1. When the circulating water storage tank 1 is in a bending state, the outer casing frame 31 adapts to the bending along the central connecting column 32, thereby being used to support the bending of the circulating water storage tank 1. The water inlet support assembly 4 includes a flexible telescopic connecting pipe 41, a connecting pipe head 42 and a limiting rib 43. The two ends of the flexible telescopic connecting pipe 41 are respectively fixedly connected to the circulating water supply drive 2 and the connecting pipe head 42. One end of the limiting rib 43 is connected to the outer wall of the circulating water supply drive 2, and the other end of the limiting rib 43 is hingedly fixed to the outer casing frame 31 through a pivot support 44.
[0020] In this embodiment, the circulating water supply driving member 2 is installed at the circulating water delivery end of the circulating water storage tank 1, and the circulating water stored in the circulating water storage tank 1 is pumped by the circulating water supply driving member 2 and added to the circulating pipeline, and the time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit 51 is respectively set at the circulating water delivery end of the circulating water storage tank 1, and the delivery flow rate of the water source is controlled by controlling the opening degree of the valve port. The return flow sensor unit 52 is installed at the port of the water outlet circulation end of the air-conditioning service circulation pipeline, and the flow rate of the air-conditioning service circulation pipeline is collected by the return flow sensor unit 52, and the flow rate signal is sent to the microprocessor 54 through the signal transmission unit 53. After the microprocessor 54 obtains the flow rate signal of the circulation pipeline after calculation and processing, the microprocessor 54 calculates and processes the flow rate signal. After the water status information is obtained, water replenishment is started. The specific collection method is to pre-enter the conventional flow rate value into the microprocessor 54, collect the current flow rate of the circulating water from the circulation pipe port of the air-conditioning suit through the reflux flow sensor unit 52, and transmit the collected data to the microprocessor 54 through the signal transmission unit 53. The microprocessor 54 analyzes whether the current flow rate of circulating water is lower than the original flow rate. After the reduction occurs, an expansion start signal is sent to the time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit 51 at the delivery end of the circulating water storage tank 1 to expand the flow port of the circulating liquid delivery end of the circulating water storage tank 1. After that, the circulating water source in the circulating water storage tank 1 is output through the circulating water supply drive 2, and is output to the water inlet of the wearable suit through the connecting pipe head 42. The circulating fluid is delivered to the circulating pipeline quickly until the circulating water flow rate of the return flow sensor unit 52 in the built-in circulating pipeline of the wearable clothing reaches a preset value, so that the circulating water source inside the circulating pipeline can be quickly filled after the water is lost, thereby solving the problem of the circulating water inside the air-conditioned clothing failing to circulate in a timely and uniform manner, avoiding the occurrence of short-term uneven temperature differences, and effectively maintaining the stability and comfort of use. At the same time, the circulating water storage box 1 composed of the accordion-type folding shell 11 and the outer jacket frame 31 have good stretchability. When the user's posture changes, they can adapt to the user's posture to fold and expand. At the same time, the outer jacket frame 31 is arranged on the outside of the circulating water storage box 1. Since the outer jacket frame 31 is foldable The outer sleeve frame 31 reaches the extreme bending state, and the circulating water storage tank 1 is supported and limited. This can prevent the circulating water storage tank 1 from being squeezed by the wall after excessive folding, which may cause the water flow path to be reduced. At the same time, when the outer sleeve frame 31 and the circulating water storage tank 1 are in the folded state, the telescopic hole 311 provides a displacement space for the slidable and telescopic flexible telescopic connecting tube 41. When the flexible telescopic connecting tube 41 is stretched as the wearer walks, the flexible telescopic connecting tube 41 stretches due to elastic action under the bending force, maintaining the normal state of the diameter inside the tube, thereby ensuring that the water source transported by the circulating water storage tank 1 and the circulating pipeline can be smoothly replenished and circulated, thereby improving the stability of the water source circulation.
[0021] Among them, the outer four sides of the circulating water storage tank 1 are composed of an accordion-type folding shell 11 made of rubber material, which is used to be squeezed and tightened by external force when the folding action occurs, thereby maintaining the smooth replenishment of circulating water when it flows back; the accordion-type folding shell 11 has its own elastic effect and is in a foldable shape as a whole. After the accordion-type folding shell 11 is connected to the water inlet of the circulating pipeline through the connecting pipe head 42 and the flexible telescopic connecting pipe 41, it can adapt to the movement posture of the user when wearing it and produce folding and bending, thereby solving the convenience of wear-type use, while keeping the water supply diameter in the circulating water storage tank 1 always stable.
[0022] Among them, a water replenishment control module 5 is provided on the outside of the outer shell frame 31. The water replenishment control module 5 includes a time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit 51, a backflow flow sensor unit 52, a signal transmission unit 53 and a microprocessor 54. The backflow flow sensor unit 52 collects the circulation flow rate of water circulating in the air-conditioning service pipeline and sends it to the microprocessor 54 for calculation and processing via the signal transmission unit 53. Then, the water circulation speed is changed by controlling the expansion degree of the time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit 51. In this embodiment, the backflow flow sensor unit 52 can be a flow valve. By being provided at the circulating water circulation connection port portion of the air-conditioning service, the circulation flow rate in the air-conditioning service is monitored. Then, the microprocessor 54 calculates whether the current circulating water volume in the air-conditioning service needs to be replenished. The time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit 51 is an electromagnetic opening and closing valve. After the circulating water supply drive component 2 transports the water source in the circulating water storage tank 1 into the circulation pipeline of the air-conditioning service through the flexible telescopic connecting pipe 41 and the connecting pipe head 42, the time-controlled electromagnetic opening and closing unit 51 controls the valve to close to prevent backflow.
[0023] Among them, the outer jacket frame 31 is provided with a telescopic hole 311, and one end of the flexible telescopic connecting tube 41 passes through the telescopic hole 311 and is slidably connected to the telescopic hole 311; the setting of the telescopic hole 311 leaves a sliding space for the flexible telescopic connecting tube 41. Since the flexible telescopic connecting tube 41 itself is flexibly telescopic, when the outer jacket frame 31 and the circulating water storage tank 1 are bent, the flexible telescopic connecting tube 41 can bend and retract with the bending action and slide along the telescopic hole 311, avoiding pulling restriction on the circulating water storage tank 1 after the circulating water storage tank 1 is bent, thereby maintaining the bending stability of the circulating water storage tank 1.
[0024] Among them, the outer jacket frame 31 is made of plastic rubber material, and an embedded hollow groove 34 is opened on the inner side of the outer jacket frame 31, and the circulating water storage tank 1 is located inside the embedded hollow groove 34; the embedded hollow groove 34 provides the circulating water storage tank 1 with an embedded installation space, and then after the outer jacket frame 31 is mounted on the outside of the circulating water storage tank 1, it can support and protect the side of the circulating water storage tank 1. At the same time, since the outer jacket frame 31 is made of plastic rubber material, it can bend along the folding gap 33 in the middle, thereby limiting the maximum bendable path of the accordion-type folding shell 11, avoiding the restriction of water flow due to excessive folding of the accordion-type folding shell 11.
