Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular to an outdoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioning, also known as air conditioner, refers to a device that uses artificial means to adjust and control parameters such as temperature, humidity and flow rate of the ambient air in a building or structure.

[0003] Conventional air conditioners include indoor and outdoor units. The indoor unit includes an evaporator, while the outdoor unit includes a compressor, a condenser, a drying bottle (or liquid storage tank), and an expansion valve (or throttling component). The refrigeration principle of an air conditioner is generally that the compressor compresses the gaseous refrigerant into a high-temperature, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which is then sent to the condenser for cooling. After cooling, the gaseous refrigerant becomes a medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant. The medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant enters the drying bottle for filtration and dehumidification. After filtration and dehumidification, the medium-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant is throttled and reduced in pressure by the expansion valve (throttling component) to a low-temperature, low-pressure gas-liquid mixture (usually with more liquid). The mixture then passes through the evaporator, absorbing heat from the air and vaporizing, becoming a gaseous state, thereby achieving cooling by absorbing heat from the air.

[0004] However, when the air conditioner is usually in cooling mode, the indoor unit blows out cold air, while the outdoor unit blows out hot air. Since the hot air blown out by the outdoor unit is directly discharged into the atmosphere, energy is wasted. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides an outdoor unit and an air conditioner, which are used to solve the technical problem in the prior art that hot air blown out by the outdoor unit is directly discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in energy waste.

[0006] The present invention provides an outdoor unit, comprising: a first shell, having an air inlet side and an air outlet side, the air inlet side being provided with an air inlet, and the air outlet side being provided with a first air outlet and a second air outlet; a condenser; a fan, wherein the fan and the condenser are sequentially arranged in the first shell along a direction from the air inlet side to the air outlet side; a second shell, capable of being connected to the first shell through the second air outlet and having a clothing accommodating space; a first on-off component, arranged in the first shell and / or the second shell; and a heater, arranged in the second shell and used for drying clothing located in the clothing accommodating space.

[0007] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in a first operating condition, the outdoor unit is in a cooling mode, and the first on-off component connects the first shell and the second shell; in a second operating condition, the outdoor unit is in a heating mode, the heater is turned on, and the first on-off component disconnects the connection between the first shell and the second shell.

[0008] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it also includes a partition component, which is arranged on the first shell. Under the third working condition, the outdoor unit is in the heating mode, the first on-off component connects the first shell and the second shell, the heater is turned on, the partition component is located in the first position and a first air duct and a second air duct are formed in the first shell. Under the action of the fan, the first part of the air entering the first shell through the air inlet passes through the first air duct and the condenser and flows out from the first air outlet, and the second part of the air entering the first shell through the air inlet passes through the second air duct and the second air outlet in sequence and flows into the clothing storage space.

[0009] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition component includes a support member and a partition plate; the support member is arranged on the outer surface of the first shell and is located between the first air outlet and the second air outlet; the partition plate is arranged in a horizontal direction and is slidably connected to the support member along the direction from the air inlet side to the air outlet side, forming a first air duct and a second air duct when it is in the first position.

[0010] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition plate is accommodated in the support member when located at the second position, so as to eliminate the provision of the first air duct and the second air duct.

[0011] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in both the first working condition and the second working condition, the partition plate is located at the second position.

[0012] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first air duct is formed between the air inlet and the first air outlet, the second air duct is formed between the air inlet and the second air outlet, the fan is located at one end of the partition component facing the air inlet side, and the condenser is located in the first air duct.

[0013] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the fourth working condition, the outdoor unit is in the heating mode or the cooling mode, the first on-off component disconnects the communication between the first shell and the second shell, and the heater is turned off.

[0014] According to one embodiment of the present invention, it further includes a second on-off component, which is arranged at the first air outlet. Under the fifth working condition, the outdoor unit is in cooling mode, the first on-off component connects the first shell and the second shell, and the second on-off component blocks the first air outlet.

[0015] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the fourth working condition, the outdoor unit is in heating mode or cooling mode, the first on-off component disconnects the connection between the first shell and the second shell, the heater is turned off, and the second on-off component exposes the first air outlet.

[0016] The present invention also provides an air conditioner, comprising: the above-mentioned outdoor unit; and an indoor unit connected to the outdoor unit.

[0017] The outdoor unit and air conditioner provided by the present invention have a second shell that can be connected to the first shell through the second air outlet and has a clothing storage space. When clothing (such as clothes) needs to be dried, the clothing can be placed in the clothing storage space. Under the first working condition, the outdoor unit is in a cooling mode. Since the condenser will release heat in the cooling mode, and the first on-off component can connect the first shell and the second shell, under the action of the fan, the fan can make the air entering the first shell from the air inlet pass through the condenser in sequence so that the air is heated by the condenser, and then the heated air flows into the clothing storage space, thereby drying the clothing placed in the clothing storage space, and utilizing the heat released by the condenser in the cooling mode to evaporate and dry the moisture in the washed clothing in the clothing storage space. Thus, the energy utilization rate can be improved, energy can be saved, and the technical problem that the hot air blown out by the outdoor unit in the prior art is directly discharged into the atmosphere, causing energy waste, can be solved.

[0018] In addition, since the condenser absorbs heat in the heating mode, if the first shell and the second shell are connected, the ambient temperature in the second shell will be lowered, affecting the drying efficiency of the clothes in the clothing storage space. Therefore, the outdoor unit has a second working condition. In the second working condition, the outdoor unit is in the heating mode, the heater is turned on, and the first on-off component disconnects the connection between the first shell and the second shell. Under the action of the fan, the fan can make the air entering the first shell from the air inlet pass through the condenser in sequence and then flow out from the first air outlet. Since the air that exchanges heat with the condenser does not enter the clothing storage space through the second air outlet, the ambient temperature in the second shell will not be lowered, and the drying efficiency of the clothes in the clothing storage space will not be affected. The clothes placed in the clothing storage space can be dried by the heater arranged in the second shell. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of the technical features being referred to. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of this embodiment, "plurality" means at least two, for example, two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0032] In this embodiment, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two components or interaction between two components, unless otherwise specified. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this embodiment based on specific circumstances.

[0033] Figures 1 to 7 The outdoor unit and air conditioner provided by the present invention are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the outdoor unit of the present invention includes a first shell 1, a fan 2, a condenser 3, a second shell 4, a first on-off component 5 and a heater 6. The first shell 1 has an air inlet side 11 and an air outlet side 12. The air inlet side 11 is provided with an air inlet 111, and the air outlet side 12 is provided with a first air outlet 121 and a second air outlet 122; the fan 2 and the condenser 3 are arranged in sequence in the first shell 1 along the direction from the air inlet side 11 to the air outlet side 12; the second shell 4 can be connected to the first shell 1 through the second air outlet 122, and has a clothing accommodating space 41; the first on-off component 5 is arranged in the first shell 1 and / or the second shell 4; the heater 6 is arranged in the second shell 4 for drying clothing located in the clothing accommodating space 41; in a first working condition, the outdoor unit is in a cooling mode, and the first on-off component 5 connects the first shell 1 and the second shell 4; in a second working condition, the outdoor unit is in a heating mode, the heater 6 is turned on, and the first on-off component 5 disconnects the connection between the first shell 1 and the second shell 4.

[0034] In a specific implementation, the second housing 4 can communicate with the first housing 1 via the second air outlet 122 and has a clothing storage space 41. When clothing needs to be dried, the clothing can be placed in the clothing storage space 41. In the first operating condition, the outdoor unit is in cooling mode. Since the condenser 3 releases heat in cooling mode, and the first on-off component 5 connects the first housing 1 and the second housing 4, the fan 2 can cause air entering the first housing 1 through the air inlet 111 to pass through the condenser 3, where the air is heated. The heated air then flows into the clothing storage space 41, thereby drying the clothing placed in the clothing storage space 41. The heat released by the condenser 3 in cooling mode evaporates moisture from the washed clothing in the clothing storage space 41. This improves energy utilization, saves energy, and solves the technical problem of the prior art where hot air blown out of the outdoor unit is directly discharged into the atmosphere, resulting in energy waste. That is, the first operating condition corresponds to the use scenario of the air conditioner cooling and drying clothing simultaneously in summer.

[0035] Furthermore, since the condenser 3 absorbs heat in heating mode, if the first housing 1 and the second housing 4 are connected, the ambient temperature within the second housing 4 will be lowered, affecting the drying efficiency of the clothing in the clothing storage space 41. Therefore, the outdoor unit has a second operating mode. In this second operating mode, the outdoor unit is in heating mode, the heater 6 is turned on, and the first on / off component 5 disconnects the connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 4. Under the action of the fan 2, the air entering the first housing 1 through the air inlet 111 passes through the condenser 3 and then out through the first air outlet 121. Since the air that undergoes heat exchange with the condenser 3 does not enter the clothing storage space 41, the ambient temperature within the second housing 4 is not lowered, and the drying efficiency of the clothing in the clothing storage space 41 is not affected. The heater 6 provided in the second housing 4 can then be used to dry the clothing in the clothing storage space 41. In other words, the second operating mode corresponds to a winter heating and clothing drying scenario.

[0036] Understandably, energy issues are becoming increasingly severe. In the cooling sector, reducing energy consumption and improving energy efficiency are key concerns within the air conditioning industry. When an air conditioner is operating in cooling mode, while the indoor unit provides a comfortable, cool experience for the user, the hot air blown out by the outdoor unit is directly transmitted outdoors, resulting in energy waste. To address this issue, the present invention proposes an air conditioner that can simultaneously meet the user's dual needs of indoor cooling and clothing drying.

[0037] In an embodiment of the present invention, the fan 2 may be an axial flow fan 2 , the first on-off component 5 may be a valve provided at the second air outlet 122 , and the heater 6 may be a heating film or a heating wire.

[0038] like Figures 2 to 5As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor unit of the present invention may further include a partition component 8, which is arranged in the first shell 1. In the third working condition, the outdoor unit is in the heating mode, the first on-off component 5 connects the first shell 1 and the second shell 4, the heater 6 is turned on, the partition component 8 is located in the first position and a first air duct and a second air duct are formed in the first shell 1. Under the action of the fan 2, the first part of the air entering the first shell 1 through the air inlet 111 passes through the first air duct and the condenser 3 and flows out from the first air outlet 121. The second part of the air entering the first shell 1 through the air inlet 111 passes through the second air duct and the second air outlet 122 in sequence and flows into the clothing storage space 41.

[0039] In specific implementation, under the third operating condition, under the action of fan 2, the air entering the first shell 1 from the air inlet 111 is divided into two flows. One air path passes through the condenser 3 and then flows out of the first air outlet 121. Since the air that exchanges heat with the condenser 3 does not enter the clothing storage space 41, the ambient temperature in the second shell 4 will not be reduced and will not be affected by the temperature of the condenser 3. The other air path flows through the second air duct and enters the second shell 4. After entering the second shell 4, the air is heated by the heater 6, thereby drying the clothing placed in the clothing storage space 41. Since there is air in the clothing storage space 41, air convection forms wind, which can accelerate the drying speed of the clothing. The usage scenario corresponding to the third operating condition can be the operating condition of the air conditioner heating and drying clothing at the same time in spring or autumn.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first air duct is formed between the air inlet 111 and the first air outlet 121, the second air duct is formed between the air inlet 111 and the second air outlet 122, the fan 2 is located at one end of the partition component 8 facing the air inlet side 11, and the condenser 3 is located in the first air duct.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, in an embodiment of the present invention, the partition component 8 may include a support member 81 and a partition plate 82; the support member 81 is arranged on the outer surface of the first shell 1 and is located between the first air outlet 121 and the second air outlet 122; the partition plate 82 is arranged in a horizontal direction and is slidably connected to the support member 81 along the direction from the air inlet side 11 to the air outlet side 12, forming a first air duct and a second air duct when it is in the first position.

[0042] In some embodiments, the separator panel 82 may be a vacuum insulation panel.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 5As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the partition plate 82 is received in the support member 81 when located at the second position, so as to eliminate the provision of the first air duct and the second air duct.

[0044] The above-mentioned structural arrangement not only reduces the internal space of the first housing 1 occupied by the partition component 8 but also facilitates switching among the first working condition, the second working condition and the third working condition.

[0045] In some embodiments, the partition plate 82 is located in the second position in both the first operating condition and the second operating condition.

[0046] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in the fourth working condition, the outdoor unit is in the heating mode or the cooling mode, the first on-off component 5 disconnects the communication between the first shell 1 and the second shell 4 , and the heater 6 is turned off.

[0047] That is, the fourth operating condition corresponds to a usage scenario where only the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner is used. Specifically, when only the cooling or heating function of the air conditioner is used, heater 6 is off and does not operate. The first on-off component 5 disconnects the connection between the first housing 1 and the second housing 4. The fan 2 operates to allow air entering the first housing 1 through the air inlet 111 to flow through the condenser 3 and out through the first air outlet 121. This allows users to achieve cooling or heating without drying clothing.

[0048] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the outdoor unit of the present invention may further include a second on-off component 7, which is arranged at the first air outlet 121. In the fifth working condition, the outdoor unit is in the cooling mode, the first on-off component 5 connects the first shell 1 and the second shell 4, and the second on-off component 7 blocks the first air outlet 121.

[0049] During specific implementation, under the action of the fan 2, the fan 2 can make the air entering from the air inlet 111 into the first shell 1 pass through the condenser 3 in sequence, so that the air is heated by the condenser 3, and then all the heated air flows into the clothing storage space 41, thereby drying the clothing placed in the clothing storage space 41. The heat released by the condenser 3 in the cooling mode is used to evaporate the moisture in the washed clothing in the clothing storage space 41. Compared with the first working condition, the air entering from the air inlet 111 into the first shell 1 is not diverted by the first air outlet 121. Therefore, it can further improve the utilization rate of energy, save energy, and solve the technical problem of the existing technology that the hot air blown out by the outdoor unit is directly discharged into the atmosphere, causing energy waste. The usage scenario corresponding to the fourth working condition is the same as the usage scenario corresponding to the first working condition, both of which are working conditions for summer air conditioning cooling and drying clothes at the same time.

[0050] It can be understood that, in the fifth working condition, the heater 6 can be turned on or off.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, in the fourth working condition, the outdoor unit is in heating mode or cooling mode, the first on-off component 5 disconnects the connection between the first shell 1 and the second shell 4 , the heater 6 is turned off, and the second on-off component 7 exposes the first air outlet 121 .

[0052] The present invention also provides an air conditioner comprising the outdoor unit and indoor unit of the above embodiment, wherein the indoor unit is connected to the outdoor unit. The specific structure, working principle and beneficial effects of the outdoor unit are the same as those of the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] like Figure 6 As shown, the present invention further provides an outdoor unit control method, which uses the outdoor unit in the above embodiment and includes:

[0054] S110 : disconnecting the communication between the first housing 1 and the second housing 4 in the heating mode.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present invention, the air conditioner can be put into heating mode by the air conditioner remote controller, and the first shell 1 and the second shell 4 can be separated by the first on-off component 5 to prohibit the first shell 1 and the second shell 4 from being connected.

[0056] S120 : Raising the ambient temperature in the clothing accommodating space 41 to dry the clothing in the clothing accommodating space 41 .

[0057] In an embodiment of the present invention, the ambient temperature in the clothing storage space 41 can be increased by turning on the heater 6 to dry the clothing in the clothing storage space 41. The beneficial effects of the outdoor unit control method are the same as those in the above embodiment and will not be repeated here.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the present invention further provides an outdoor unit comprising an on-off module 210 and a heating module 220.
