Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of solar energy utilization technology, and more specifically to a multi-purpose portable camping air conditioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Camping is a short-term outdoor lifestyle, referring to temporary outdoor encampments specifically designed for engineering, military, surveying, tourism, and other purposes. These include simple short-term outdoor accommodations such as tents, thatched huts, and garages. In recent years, with the improvement of urban residents' living standards and the enhancement of their material and spiritual needs, camping in the suburbs has become an increasingly popular weekend relaxation option for urban residents. When camping, people typically choose to set up tents directly on the ground as their resting place.
[0003] Modern camping is mostly done in spring and autumn. Winter, with its bleak scenery, is generally not a top choice, while summer, though offering the last glimpses of beauty, is often too hot to handle. To meet the needs of travel and relaxation, tents are typically pitched near water or in lush vegetation, such as forests or lawns. However, pitching tents on the ground in these locations has the drawback of high humidity, which can easily trigger rheumatic pain for those with rheumatism or the elderly after resting. Furthermore, as people's living standards improve, the demand for more comfortable camping accommodations is gradually becoming a common need.
[0004] Therefore, designing a camping air conditioner that can conveniently cool and dehumidify the interior of tents to improve the comfort of the camping environment, enhance the quality of people's camping life, and encourage more people to choose to camp in the summer is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to provide a multi-purpose portable camping air conditioner that can easily cool and dehumidify the interior of a camping tent, so as to improve the comfort of the camping tent environment and improve people's camping life quality.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A multi-purpose portable camping air conditioning device is characterized in that it includes an air inlet duct, which is mounted on a bracket. The air inlet duct has an air intake section and an air handling section. An air intake fan is provided in the air intake section, and a semiconductor plate is attached to the inner wall of the air handling section. The cold end of the semiconductor plate is located in the direction of inward of the air inlet duct. The air intake fan and the semiconductor plate are each electrically connected to a battery that is fixed to the bracket.
[0008] In this way, when the device is in use, it relies on the intake fan to draw in air, and the battery powers the semiconductor for cooling. The cooling effect of the semiconductor chip cools the incoming air, thus providing cool air to the camping tent and improving the camping experience.
[0009] Furthermore, the device also includes a base on which the bracket is fixed.
[0010] This can better improve the stability of the device.
[0011] Furthermore, the base is also equipped with a battery mounting bracket, which has contacts for electrical connection with the battery.
[0012] This design allows the battery to be installed in a removable manner on the battery mounting bracket, making it easy to remove and charge.
[0013] Furthermore, a filter screen is installed inside the air intake section, located on the outer side of the air intake fan.
[0014] This makes it easier to filter the incoming air.
[0015] Furthermore, a drying cylinder is coaxially sleeved outside the air treatment section. End plates and air inlet ducts are provided at both ends of the drying cylinder to form a drying space between the drying cylinder and the air inlet duct. A moisture-absorbing mesh is also provided inside the air inlet duct. The moisture-absorbing mesh includes a mesh plate that matches the diameter of the air inlet duct and moisture-absorbing filter material (such as moisture-absorbing cotton) set on the mesh plate. The edge of the moisture-absorbing mesh is rotatably mounted on the cylinder wall of the air inlet duct by means of a rotating shaft set along the axial direction. An opening is also provided on the cylinder wall of the air inlet duct corresponding to the installation position of the moisture-absorbing mesh to allow the moisture-absorbing mesh to rotate into the drying space. The rotating shaft is connected to a rotating shaft motor, and the rotating shaft motor is electrically connected to a battery.
[0016] In this way, due to the cooling effect of the semiconductor chip, its outer end becomes the hot end, dissipating the displaced heat into the drying space, resulting in a higher temperature within the drying space. When air enters the processing section, it is cooled by the semiconductor chip, causing the entrained moisture to condense and be absorbed by the moisture-absorbing mesh, achieving dehumidification. After the moisture-absorbing mesh becomes saturated after a period of operation, a rotating shaft controlled by a motor rotates the mesh from inside the air inlet duct into the drying space. The high temperature within the drying space allows for drying and regeneration. After drying, the mesh returns to the air inlet duct. This design improves the dehumidification effect on the incoming air. Simultaneously, the moisture-absorbing mesh can be dried and regenerated in a timely manner, ensuring the stability of the device's dehumidification effect. In implementation, the air inlet section and the air processing section of the air inlet duct are detachably connected. This facilitates disassembly, transport, and handling.
[0017] Furthermore, the drying cylinder is set with a diameter three times that of the air handling section of the inlet duct. This facilitates the overall rotation of the moisture-absorbing mesh into the drying space for regeneration, improving its regeneration efficiency and quality.
[0018] Furthermore, a humidity sensor is installed on the moisture-absorbing mesh, which is connected to a controller, and the controller is connected to the rotating shaft motor. This allows for precise control of the moisture-absorbing mesh regeneration by pre-programming the controller and monitoring humidity in real time.
[0019] Furthermore, the moisture-absorbing mesh comprises multiple meshes, each with its own rotation axis evenly arranged circumferentially on the air inlet duct. This arrangement of multiple moisture-absorbing meshes enhances the dehumidification effect of the incoming air. The evenly distributed rotation axes of the meshes allow them to rotate to different positions within the drying space during drying and regeneration, thus better utilizing the drying capacity of the drying space for rapid regeneration.
[0020] Furthermore, an exhaust window is provided at the top of the drying cylinder, and an exhaust fan is also provided in the exhaust window. The exhaust fan is electrically connected to the battery.
[0021] In this way, after the moisture-absorbing mesh is regenerated, the exhaust fan can promptly remove moisture from the drying space, ensuring the stability of its drying and regeneration capabilities. During implementation, the exhaust fan's control unit is connected to a controller, facilitating automatic control of the exhaust fan's operation.
[0022] Furthermore, an arc-shaped fixed solar panel is also fixedly installed on the upper exterior of the air handling section. The fixed solar panel is connected to the battery and supplies it with power.
[0023] This design facilitates the installation of solar panels to absorb and utilize solar energy to charge the batteries. Simultaneously, it shields the panels from direct sunlight, better ensuring the cooling effect of the air handling section below. During implementation, the solar panels are fixed to the outer shell of the drying cylinder outside the air handling section using mounting brackets.
[0024] Furthermore, a water jacket is provided on the lower surface of the fixed solar panel, and a water inlet with a switch cover is provided on the upper surface of the fixed solar panel, which is connected to the water jacket. A water outlet with a switch is provided at the lower end of the water jacket.
[0025] This allows for the convenient use of waste heat from fixed solar panels to heat the water jacket, thus obtaining hot water for camping.
[0026] Furthermore, a heat exchange air duct is also provided inside the water jacket. The upper end of the exhaust window is sealed and connected to the air inlet pipe and passes through the water jacket to communicate with the heat exchange air duct. The lower end of the heat exchange air duct passes through the water jacket to form an air outlet.
[0027] In this way, the hot air exhausted through the vent can enter the water jacket, exchange heat with the water inside, and then be discharged, thus better increasing the temperature of the hot water inside the water jacket and providing domestic hot water. This also improves the utilization efficiency of the heat dissipated by the semiconductor wafers.
[0028] Furthermore, the heat exchange duct includes a main pipe located axially at the middle of the upper end of the water jacket and multiple branch pipes connected to both ends of the main pipe. The air inlet pipe is connected to the main pipe, and the lower end of the branch pipe extends inward and downward through the water jacket to communicate with the atmosphere. The branch pipe is arranged to bend up and down within the water jacket.
[0029] This allows for better ventilation efficiency while ensuring sufficient heat exchange within the water jacket.
[0030] Furthermore, temperature sensors are installed in both the drying space and the water jacket. The temperature sensors are connected to a controller, which is in turn connected to the control terminal of the exhaust fan.
[0031] This allows for real-time monitoring of the temperature inside the drying space and within the water jacket. When the temperature of the former exceeds that of the latter, the exhaust fan can be activated promptly to ensure effective heat exchange within the water jacket. Simultaneously, it enables the timely removal of moisture and heat from the drying space, improving the cooling performance of the semiconductor wafers and ensuring efficient dehumidification and regeneration within the drying space.
[0032] Furthermore, a movable solar panel with an overall arc-shaped plate shape is also covered above the fixed solar panel. The movable solar panel and the fixed solar panel can slide axially. A movable solar panel support frame is also fixedly installed on the base at the side of the fixed solar panel to support the movable solar panel that has slid out. The air inlet section of the air inlet duct is located inside the movable solar panel support frame.
[0033] In this way, when the device is in use, the movable solar panels can be pulled out and supported on the movable solar panel support frame, expanding the area of the solar panels and improving power generation efficiency. At the same time, it can provide sunshade for the air intake section of the air inlet duct, improving the overall cooling effect of the device.
[0034] In summary, this device facilitates cooling, dehumidification, and hot water supply inside camping tents, improving the comfort of the camping environment and enhancing the quality of camping experience. It is especially convenient for people traveling during summer camping trips. Attached Figure Description

[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0040] Implementation method: See Figure 1-4 As shown, a multi-purpose portable camping air conditioning device includes an air inlet duct mounted on a bracket 1. The air inlet duct has an air intake section 2 and an air handling section 3. An air intake fan 4 is disposed inside the air intake section 2. A semiconductor plate 5 is attached to the inner wall of the air handling section 3. The cold end of the semiconductor plate 5 is located in the direction of inward of the air inlet duct. The air intake fan 4 and the semiconductor plate 5 are each electrically connected to a battery (not shown in the figure) that is fixed to the bracket 1.
[0041] In this way, when the device is in use, it relies on the intake fan to draw in air, and the battery powers the semiconductor for cooling. The cooling effect of the semiconductor chip cools the incoming air, thus providing cool air to the camping tent and improving the camping experience.
[0042] The device also includes a base 6, on which the bracket 1 is fixed.
[0043] This can better improve the stability of the device.
[0044] The base 6 is also equipped with a battery mounting bracket 7, which has contacts for electrical connection with the battery.
[0045] This design allows the battery to be installed in a removable manner on the battery mounting bracket, making it easy to remove and charge.
[0046] Among them, a filter screen 8 is also installed in the air inlet section 2, located on the outer side of the air inlet fan 4.
[0047] This makes it easier to filter the incoming air.
[0048] The air treatment section 3 is coaxially fitted with a drying cylinder 9. The ends of the drying cylinder 9 are provided with end plates and air inlet cylinder seals to form a drying space 10 between the drying cylinder and the air inlet cylinder. A moisture-absorbing net 11 is also provided inside the air inlet cylinder. The moisture-absorbing net 11 includes a mesh plate that matches the diameter of the air inlet cylinder and a moisture-absorbing filter material (such as moisture-absorbing cotton) provided on the mesh plate. The edge of the moisture-absorbing net 11 is rotatably mounted on the cylinder wall of the air inlet cylinder by means of a rotating shaft 12 arranged along the axial direction. An opening is also provided on the cylinder wall of the air inlet cylinder corresponding to the installation position of the moisture-absorbing net for the moisture-absorbing net 11 to rotate into the drying space. The rotating shaft is connected to a rotating shaft motor (not shown in the figure), and the rotating shaft motor is electrically connected to a battery.
[0049] In this way, due to the cooling effect of the semiconductor chip, its outer end becomes the hot end, dissipating the displaced heat into the drying space, resulting in a higher temperature within the drying space. When air enters the processing section, it is cooled by the semiconductor chip, causing the entrained water vapor to condense and be absorbed by the moisture-absorbing mesh, achieving dehumidification. After the moisture-absorbing mesh becomes saturated after a period of operation, a rotating shaft controlled by a motor rotates the mesh from inside the air inlet duct into the drying space. The high temperature within the drying space allows for drying and regeneration. After drying, the mesh returns to the air inlet duct. This ensures better dehumidification of the incoming air. Simultaneously, the moisture-absorbing mesh can be dried and regenerated in a timely manner, allowing for reuse and ensuring the stability of the device's dehumidification effect. In implementation, the air inlet section and air processing section of the air inlet duct are detachably connected. This facilitates disassembly, carrying, and transportation. An air inlet hole is also provided at the lower end of the drying cylinder to facilitate air intake when hot and humid air is extracted.
[0050] The drying cylinder 9 is set with a diameter three times that of the air handling section of the air inlet duct. This facilitates the overall rotation of the moisture-absorbing mesh into the drying space for regeneration, improving its regeneration efficiency and quality.
[0051] The moisture-absorbing mesh 11 is equipped with a humidity sensor, which is connected to a controller (not shown in the figure). The controller is also connected to the rotating shaft motor. This allows for precise control of the moisture-absorbing mesh regeneration by pre-programming the controller and monitoring humidity in real time.
[0052] The moisture-absorbing mesh 11 comprises multiple meshes, each with its own rotating shaft 12 evenly arranged circumferentially on the air handling section 3 of the air inlet duct. This arrangement of multiple moisture-absorbing meshes enhances the dehumidification effect of the incoming air. The evenly distributed rotating shafts of the meshes allow them to rotate to different positions within the drying space during drying and regeneration, thus better utilizing the drying capacity of the drying space for rapid regeneration.
[0053] The top of the drying cylinder 9 is also equipped with an exhaust window 13, and the exhaust window is also equipped with an exhaust fan 14, which is electrically connected to the battery.
[0054] In this way, after the moisture-absorbing mesh is regenerated, the exhaust fan can promptly remove moisture from the drying space, ensuring the stability of its drying and regeneration capabilities. During implementation, the exhaust fan's control unit is connected to a controller, facilitating automatic control of the exhaust fan's operation.
[0055] Among them, an arc-shaped fixed solar panel 15 is fixedly installed on the upper exterior of the air handling section 3. The fixed solar panel 15 is connected to the battery and supplies it with power.
[0056] This design facilitates the installation of solar panels to absorb and utilize solar energy to charge the batteries. Simultaneously, it shields the panels from direct sunlight, better ensuring the cooling effect of the air handling section below. During implementation, the solar panels are fixed to the outer shell of the drying cylinder outside the air handling section using mounting brackets.
[0057] The fixed solar panel 15 has a water jacket 16 on its lower surface, and a water inlet 17 with a switch cover on its upper surface that communicates with the water jacket 16. The water jacket 16 has a water outlet connector 18 with a switch at its lower end.
[0058] This allows for the convenient use of waste heat from fixed solar panels to heat the water jacket, thus obtaining hot water for camping.
[0059] The water jacket 16 is also equipped with a heat exchange air duct. The upper end of the exhaust window 13 is sealed and connected to the air inlet pipe and passes through the water jacket 16 and is connected to the heat exchange air duct. The lower end of the heat exchange air duct passes through the water jacket to form an air outlet.
[0060] In this way, the hot air exhausted through the vent can enter the water jacket, exchange heat with the water inside, and then be discharged, thus better increasing the temperature of the hot water inside the water jacket and providing domestic hot water. This also improves the utilization efficiency of the heat dissipated by the semiconductor wafers.
[0061] The heat exchange duct includes a main pipe 19 located axially at the middle of the upper end of the water jacket and multiple branch pipes 20 connected at both ends of the main pipe. The air inlet pipe is connected to the main pipe, and the lower end of the branch pipe extends inward and downward through the water jacket to communicate with the atmosphere. The branch pipe is arranged to bend up and down inside the water jacket.
[0062] This allows for better ventilation efficiency while ensuring sufficient heat exchange within the water jacket.
[0063] Temperature sensors (not shown in the figure) are installed in both the drying space 10 and the water jacket 16. The temperature sensors are connected to the controller, and the controller is connected to the control terminal of the exhaust fan.
[0064] This allows for real-time monitoring of the temperature inside the drying space and within the water jacket. When the temperature of the former exceeds that of the latter, the exhaust fan can be activated promptly to ensure effective heat exchange within the water jacket. Simultaneously, it enables the timely removal of moisture and heat from the drying space, improving the cooling performance of the semiconductor wafers and ensuring efficient dehumidification and regeneration within the drying space.
[0065] Among them, a movable solar panel 21 with an overall arc-shaped plate shape is also covered on the fixed solar panel 15. The movable solar panel 21 and the fixed solar panel can slide axially. A movable solar panel support frame 22 is also fixedly installed on the base at the side of the fixed solar panel to support the movable solar panel that has slid out. The air inlet section of the air inlet duct is located inside the movable solar panel support frame.
[0066] In this way, when the device is in use, the movable solar panels can be pulled out and supported on the movable solar panel support frame, expanding the area of the solar panels and improving power generation efficiency. At the same time, it can provide sunshade for the air intake section of the air inlet duct, improving the overall cooling effect of the device.
