Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of camping air conditioning technology, specifically a portable air conditioner for outdoor camping. Background Technology

[0002] Firstly, for outdoor camping, in cold weather, using fire or a stove for warmth is the most convenient method. In hot summer camping, if you want to feel cool, a portable air conditioner can effectively lower the temperature inside the tent. However, current portable air conditioners have certain problems.

[0003] Firstly, for air conditioning to be effective, water-cooled or ice-cooled methods are not sustainable in terms of cooling duration. Using Freon is relatively environmentally unfriendly, and using refrigerant is too expensive. Additionally, these types of air conditioners have another problem: the cool air they produce is mainly blown into the tent as wind. However, for camping, the tent is relatively small, and the temperature is mainly felt at the bottom. In this case, a single air inlet can easily lead to uneven distribution of cool air. At the same time, the wind generated in the narrow space can easily blow directly onto the user, causing health problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a portable air conditioner specifically for outdoor camping, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A portable air conditioner for outdoor camping includes a cooling plate installed inside the air conditioner unit. The cooling plate has a heat-dissipating end and a cooling end on both sides. Heat dissipation fins are fixedly connected to the heat-dissipating end. A cooling fan is installed on one side of the heat dissipation fins. A water tank is installed inside the air conditioner unit. The water tank and the cooling plate work together with a tent temperature uniform adjustment mechanism to cool the inside of the tent.

[0007] The top of the air conditioning unit is provided with a cooling zone connecting groove. The tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism is fixedly connected to the outside of the cooling zone connecting groove. The tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism includes a heat insulation layer located on the outer layer in contact with the inner wall of the tent, cooling pipes arranged on the heat insulation layer, a cooling layer connecting two adjacent cooling pipes, and a cooling channel forming a closed environment through the cooling layer.

[0008] A main water inlet is provided on one side of the water tank, and several cooling return water branches are provided on the other side of the water tank through the main water return branch. A low-temperature conduction plate is provided on the side of the cooling end. Pipe-covered fins that cooperate with the cooling return water branches to reduce the temperature of the return liquid are fixedly connected to the low-temperature conduction plate. Several air-cooled cooperating fins are provided between two adjacent pipe-covered fins. The air-cooled cooperating fins correspond to the cooling channels. A guide fan is provided above the air-cooled cooperating fins to generate fresh air to the return end to compensate for cooling losses.

[0009] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a hot air exhaust zone is provided at the end of the air conditioning unit away from the water tank, and the hot air exhaust zone is connected to the exhaust end of the cooling fan.

[0010] As a further aspect of the present invention: the top of the air conditioning unit is fixedly connected to a dual-purpose binding and carrying component, and both ends of the air conditioning unit are fixedly connected to rectangular extension frames to prevent the water tank from contacting the ground and causing temperature displacement.

[0011] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the binding and carrying dual-purpose component includes a fixed ear plate and a plug-in ear plate fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular extension frame. A horizontal shaft is fixedly connected to the fixed ear plate. A closed loop belt passes through the horizontal shaft and is slidably connected to the fixed ear plate. The other end of the closed loop belt is also slidably connected to a plug-in plate through the horizontal shaft. The plug-in plate and the plug-in ear plate are engaged and fixed.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a power supply access terminal for connecting to an external power supply mechanism is provided on one side of the air conditioning unit, a water inlet connector is fixedly connected to the side of the air conditioning unit, a water inlet main is provided on the side of the water tank, the water inlet connector is connected to the water inlet main, and the end of the tent uniform temperature adjustment mechanism is fixedly connected to a liquid inlet connector plate, the liquid inlet connector plate is provided with multiple liquid inlet connectors, and the liquid inlet connectors are connected to the output end of the circulation pump inside the water tank through the water inlet connector plate and the water inlet main.

[0013] As a further embodiment of the present invention: two water tank connectors are provided on the side of the air conditioning unit away from the power supply terminal and the water inlet connector, and the water tank connectors are connected to the water tank.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0015] As the liquid travels through the tent to the other end, its temperature reaches its highest point. Meanwhile, the initial temperature at the liquid's entry point is the lowest. As the liquid travels further, the temperature impact is minimized at the very end. The heated liquid then flows through the cooling pipes into the cooling return branch and the main return line. The cooled liquid, now cooled by the pipe-covered fins, enters the water tank for further circulation. At this point, the temperature of the low-temperature conduction plate is at its lowest. The combined effect of air cooling and the fins, along with a guiding fan, blows the low-temperature air from the fin surface directly into the low-temperature airflow channel formed by the cooling layer. The initial temperature of this low-temperature airflow channel is very low, compensating for the large temperature difference at the end of the cooling pipes. This combined cooling effect of the cooling layer and cooling pipes creates a surrounding cooling structure at the bottom edge of the tent, conforming to the tent's design. This provides a wraparound cooling environment for those resting in the tent, improving comfort and preventing wind from affecting their rest. This design is suitable for use in small tents.

[0016] The insert plate is inserted into the plug-in ear plate for fixation. At this time, the area above the handle closed loop strap is affected by gravity, causing the lower part of the closed loop strap to be stretched by gravity, allowing the lower closed loop strap to move downwards. This puts pressure on the tent's temperature uniformity mechanism, thus limiting its movement. Furthermore, the plug-in ear plate and insert plate can be detached together, making it easier to cover the tent's temperature uniformity mechanism and more suitable for camping use.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-6 :

[0026] The system includes a cooling chip 5 installed inside the air conditioning unit 1. The cooling chip 5 has a heat dissipation end 51 and a cooling end 52 on both sides. A heat dissipation fin 53 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation end 51. A cooling fan 54 is installed on one side of the heat dissipation fin 53. A water tank 6 is installed inside the air conditioning unit 1. The water tank 6 and the cooling chip 5 work together with the tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3 to cool the inside of the tent.

[0027] Firstly, the cooling element 5 mainly uses electrical energy to generate a low temperature on one side of the cooling end 52 and a high temperature on the other side of the cooling element 5, the heat-generating end 51. Although the power consumption of this method is relatively large compared to the traditional Freon and refrigerant, the configuration of batteries and photovoltaic panels can effectively reduce the cost loss caused by power consumption in outdoor environments. Using solar energy for power storage and in conjunction with the cooling element 5 is more environmentally friendly. Although the cooling area of ​​the cooling element 5 is not large, it can generate sub-zero temperatures. At this time, water channels can be used to form a ring inside the tent to exchange and cool the bottom of the tent, which is the area where people stay for a long time. Compared with the traditional wind-powered method, this method has less impact on people.

[0028] The top of the air conditioning unit 1 is provided with a cooling zone connecting groove 15. The tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the outside of the cooling zone connecting groove 15. The tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3 includes a heat insulation layer 31 located on the outer layer in contact with the inner wall of the tent, cooling pipes 32 arranged on the heat insulation layer 31, a cooling layer 33 connecting two adjacent cooling pipes 32, and a cooling channel 34 forming a closed environment through the cooling layer 33. A water inlet main 61 is provided on one side of the water tank 6, and several cooling return water branches 63 are provided on the other side of the water tank 6 through the return water main 62. A low temperature conduction plate 55 is provided on the side of the cooling end 52. A pipe-covered fin 56 is fixedly connected on the low temperature conduction plate 55 to cooperate with the cooling return water branches 63 to reduce the temperature of the return liquid. Several air-cooled cooperating fins 57 are provided between two adjacent pipe-covered fins 56. The air-cooled cooperating fins 57 correspond to the cooling channel 34. A guide fan 58 is provided above the air-cooled cooperating fins 57 to generate fresh air to the return end to make up for the cooling loss.

[0029] First, if cooling is required, the tent's temperature uniform adjustment mechanism 3 needs to be set up. This mechanism 3 must be connected to the carrying / handling assembly 2 via the cooling zone connecting slot 15. The temperature uniform adjustment mechanism 3 first contacts the tent through the insulation layer 31. The insulation layer 31 can be fixed to the bottom inner wall of the tent using hooks or Velcro, thus isolating the tent's temperature. The cooling pipes 32 are then fixedly connected to the surface of the insulation layer 31. Due to the insulation effect of the insulation layer 31, the outside of the tent is prevented from being directly affected by the cooling pipes 32, thus avoiding direct application of the cooling effect of the cooling pipes 32 to the outside of the tent. The cooling layer 33 then seals the space between the cooling pipes 32, thereby cooling... The enclosure of layer 33 forms a cooling channel 34, creating a channel within the tent. The cooling primarily utilizes a combination of liquid and air cooling to achieve temperature uniformity within the tent. First, the end of the tent's temperature-regulating mechanism 3 is connected to the main water inlet 61. Then, the cooling return branch 63 and the main return water inlet 62 are connected to the cooling pipe 32, forming a closed-loop circuit between the water tank 6 and the tent's temperature-regulating mechanism 3. Because a low-temperature conduction plate 55 is installed on the cooling end 52, the cooling end 52 can be reduced to an extremely low temperature. This low temperature is then transferred to the pipe-covered fins 56 via the low-temperature conduction plate 55. The covering effect of the pipe-covered fins 56 and the cooling pipe 32 increases the temperature exchange area and improves the temperature exchange rate. The liquid first enters through the main water inlet 61, then flows into the tent through the cooling pipe 32. The cooling pipe 32 circulates on one side. Since the temperature has just been lowered by the pipe-covered fins 56, the liquid temperature is very low at this initial stage, resulting in excellent temperature exchange. However, as the liquid temperature increases, it reaches its highest point as it travels through the tent to the other end. The initial entry point of the liquid inside the tent has the lowest temperature. As the liquid travels further, the temperature impact is minimized at the very end. The heated liquid then flows through the cooling pipe 32 into the cooling return branch 63 and the return main 62, where it is cooled by the pipe-covered fins 56. Warm liquid enters the water tank 6 and continues to circulate. At this time, the temperature of the low-temperature conduction plate 55 is the lowest. With the help of the air cooling fins 57 and the guide fan 58, the low-temperature air on the surface of the air cooling fins 57 is directly blown into the low-temperature air duct formed by the cooling layer 33. The initial temperature of the low-temperature air duct entering through the cooling layer 33 is very low, thus compensating for the large temperature difference at the end of the cooling pipe 32. At this time, the cooling layer 33 and the cooling pipe 32 work together to cool down, forming a surrounding cooling structure at the bottom edge of the tent. This is in line with the way the tent is used, allowing people resting in the tent to be cooled in a wraparound manner, improving comfort. At the same time, the wind will not affect the rest of the users, making it suitable for use in small tents.

[0030] A hot air exhaust zone 14 is provided at the end of the air conditioning unit 1 away from the water tank 6, and the hot air exhaust zone 14 is connected to the exhaust end of the cooling fan 54.

[0031] Firstly, while the cooling end 52 generates a cooling effect, the heat-generating end 51 generates heat. Therefore, the hose of the hot air exhaust area 14 can extend to the outside of the tent. At this time, the hot air exhaust area 14 can blow hot air to the outside. At the same time, the hot air exhaust area 14, together with the cooling fan 54, plays a role in cooling the heat dissipation fins 53.

[0032] The top of the air conditioning unit 1 is fixedly connected to a dual-purpose binding and carrying component 2. Both ends of the air conditioning unit 1 are fixedly connected to rectangular extension frames 11 to prevent the water tank 6 from contacting the ground and causing temperature displacement. The dual-purpose binding and carrying component 2 includes a fixed ear plate 22 and a plug-in ear plate 23 fixedly connected to the top of the rectangular extension frame 11. A horizontal shaft is fixedly connected to the fixed ear plate 22. A closed loop belt 21 passes through the horizontal shaft and is slidably connected to the fixed ear plate 22. The other end of the closed loop belt 21 is also slidably connected to a plug plate 24 through the horizontal shaft. The plug plate 24 and the plug-in ear plate 23 are inserted and fixed together.

[0033] Firstly, to meet the needs of camping, the air conditioning unit 1 also needs to be portable. Therefore, the tent temperature equalization mechanism 3 is wrapped around the outside of the air conditioning unit 1. This wrapping of the tent temperature equalization mechanism 3 can both protect the air conditioning unit 1 and reduce the impact on the handling of the air conditioning unit 1. If an extended lifting handle were provided at the top, the tent temperature equalization mechanism 3 would need to pass through the wrapping, and the wrapping of the tent temperature equalization mechanism 3 would also need to be redesigned. Therefore, a dual-purpose handle and carrying component 2 is provided. Firstly, the closed loop strap 21 is a ring, and the closed loop strap 21 slides with the horizontal axis at the front end of the fixed ear plate 22, while the insert plate 24 is inserted. The ear plate 23 is fixed inside. At this time, the upper part of the handle closed loop 21 is affected by gravity. The lower part of the closed loop 21 will be stretched by the closed loop 21 in conjunction with gravity, so that the lower closed loop 21 can move downward, thereby putting pressure on the tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3. This will limit the tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3. After the ear plate 23 and the insert plate 24 are disassembled together, the covering of the tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3 is more convenient and more suitable for camping. At the same time, after the rectangular extension frame 11 raises the height of the air conditioning unit 1, it avoids the bottom from directly contacting the ground and the water tank 6 will not come into contact. At the same time, the rectangular extension frame 11 can limit the two sides of the tent uniform temperature regulation mechanism 3 to prevent it from slipping off from the end.

[0034] One side of the air conditioning unit 1 is provided with a power supply access terminal 12 for connecting to an external power supply mechanism. A water inlet connector 13 is fixedly connected to the side of the air conditioning unit 1. A water inlet main 61 is provided on the side of the water tank 6. The water inlet connector 13 and the water inlet main 61 are connected in cooperation. The end of the tent uniform temperature adjustment mechanism 3 is fixedly connected with a liquid inlet connector 4. Multiple liquid inlet connectors 41 are provided on the liquid inlet connector 4. The liquid inlet connectors 41 are connected to the output end of the circulation pump inside the water tank 6 through the water inlet connector 13 and the water inlet main 61.

[0035] The air conditioning unit 1 needs to be powered, so a photovoltaic battery is used to power the air conditioning unit 1 through the power supply access terminal 12 to provide electrical energy. The water inlet connector 13 cooperates with the water inlet main 61 so that a water interface can be formed on the side of the air conditioning unit 1. At this time, the front end of the tent uniform temperature adjustment mechanism 3 connects the cooling pipe 32 with the water inlet connector 13 through the liquid inlet connector plate 4 and the liquid inlet connector 41, thereby forming a water inlet passage.

[0036] Two vertically distributed water tank connectors 16 are provided on the side of the air conditioning unit 1 away from the power supply terminal 12 and the water inlet connector 13. The water tank connectors 16 are connected to the water tank 6.

[0037] Similarly, to meet camping needs, the interior of the water tank 6 is hollow before use. When arriving at the usage area, the liquid is first injected through the water tank connector 16 for use. When not in use, the lower water tank connector 16 can be opened to drain the liquid.

[0038] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
