Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] Waterless humidification uses hygroscopic materials to absorb moisture in the air. The air absorbs moisture through the hygroscopic sector of the humidification wheel, and then the humidification wheel passes through the dehumidification zone for dehumidification. The hot and humid air is sent into the room through the fan. The waterless humidification method does not require water and can be used continuously, which has obvious advantages.

[0003] The humidification device of the existing air conditioner with waterless humidification function needs to occupy a large space when integrated into the indoor unit, resulting in poor compactness of the indoor unit structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The problem solved by the present invention is that the humidifying device of the existing air conditioner with waterless humidification function needs to occupy a large space when integrated into the indoor unit, resulting in poor compactness of the indoor unit structure.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the present embodiment provides an indoor unit and an air conditioner, which can improve the problem of poor structural compactness of the indoor unit when a humidifying device is installed in the indoor unit.

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an indoor unit comprising a middle frame and a moisture absorption wheel. The middle frame is provided with a mounting portion, which, together with the middle frame, forms a housing cavity. The housing cavity is provided with a partition rib, which divides the housing cavity into a moisture absorption zone and a dehumidification zone. The moisture absorption wheel is rotatably mounted in the housing cavity and covers the moisture absorption zone and the dehumidification zone. The area of ​​the moisture absorption wheel corresponding to the moisture absorption zone is used to absorb moisture from air flowing through, and the area of ​​the moisture absorption wheel corresponding to the dehumidification zone is used to humidify the air flowing through. The middle frame is provided with an indoor air outlet connected to the dehumidification zone, and the indoor air outlet is used to discharge the humidified air.

[0007] In this embodiment, the mounting portion is arranged on the middle frame, and the mounting portion and the middle frame are used to enclose a accommodating cavity, and a partition rib is arranged in the accommodating cavity. The accommodating cavity is divided into a moisture absorption area and a dehumidification area by the partition rib, and the moisture absorption wheel is rotatably installed in the accommodating cavity so that the moisture absorption wheel covers the moisture absorption area and the dehumidification area, and an indoor air outlet connected to the dehumidification area is provided on the middle frame for humidified air to flow out, so that the moisture absorption wheel is installed on the middle frame, avoiding the need to set up a mounting base for the moisture absorption wheel separately and the space occupied by the separate mounting base, thereby making the structure of the indoor unit more compact.

[0008] In an optional embodiment, the mounting portion is integrally formed with the middle frame. Integrating the mounting portion with the middle frame eliminates the need for assembly of the mounting portion.

[0009] In an optional embodiment, the middle frame includes a bottom wall and side walls connected to each other, the side walls are used to mount the panel, and the mounting portion is protruded from the bottom wall. Protruding the mounting portion from the bottom wall can facilitate the installation of the moisture absorption wheel.

[0010] In an optional embodiment, the middle frame further includes a transition wall, the bottom wall and the side walls are connected by the transition wall, and the indoor air outlet is provided in the transition wall. Providing the indoor air outlet in the bottom wall directly faces the indoor air outlet moisture absorption rotor, reduces flow path curvature, thereby avoiding air volume loss and reducing indoor air outlet noise.

[0011] In an optional embodiment, the middle frame further includes an end plate connected to both the bottom wall and the side wall; the mounting portion includes a first section, a second section, and a third section connected in sequence, the first section, the second section, and the third section all protruding from the bottom wall, the first section and the third section being arranged opposite each other, and the end of the first section being connected to the side wall, the end of the third section being connected to the end plate, and / or the end of the third section being connected to the side wall. Connecting one end of the first section to the side wall and one end of the third section to the end plate or the side wall allows the mounting portion, the bottom wall, the side wall, and the end plate to collectively enclose the accommodating cavity, reducing the space occupied by the mounting portion, thereby maximizing space utilization and improving the compactness of the indoor unit.

[0012] In an optional embodiment, the dehumidification zone is positioned near the side wall, and the moisture absorption zone is positioned away from the side wall. The second section is provided with an outdoor air outlet connected to the moisture absorption zone, and the outdoor air outlet is used to connect to a pipeline to discharge the gas in the dehumidification zone to the outside. Since the dehumidification zone produces humid air, locating the dehumidification chamber near the side wall facilitates better discharge of the indoor air into the room through the indoor air outlet. Since the moisture absorption zone produces dry gas after dehumidification, it requires a pipeline to be connected to discharge it outdoors. Placing the moisture absorption zone on the side away from the side wall facilitates the connection of the pipeline.

[0013] In an optional embodiment, the bottom wall is provided with a mounting shaft, the mounting shaft is located in the accommodating cavity, and the moisture absorption wheel is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft. Providing the mounting shaft on the bottom wall facilitates the installation of the moisture absorption wheel.

[0014] In an optional embodiment, the dividing ribs include a first dividing rib and a second dividing rib, each of which is protruding from the bottom wall and connected to the mounting shaft at one end. The other end of the first dividing rib and the other end of the second dividing rib extend toward the mounting portion at an angle and are both connected to the mounting portion. One end of the first dividing rib and the second dividing rib are respectively connected to the mounting shaft, so that the first dividing rib and the second dividing rib can separate the moisture absorption wheel into two shaped areas corresponding to the moisture absorption area and the moisture desorption area, thereby facilitating the moisture absorption wheel to cyclically absorb and release moisture.

[0015] In an optional embodiment, the protruding height of the mounting portion is higher than the protruding height of the dividing rib. By making the protruding height of the mounting portion higher than the installation height of the dividing rib, the mounting portion can be partially enclosed outside the moisture absorbing wheel, allowing the moisture absorbing wheel to absorb and release moisture.

[0016] In an optional embodiment, the indoor unit further includes an upper shell, a heating element, and a fan; the upper shell is mounted on a side of the moisture absorption wheel away from the accommodating chamber and connected to the mounting portion; the upper shell is provided with a first air duct connected to the moisture absorption zone and a second air duct connected to the dehumidification zone; the heating element is mounted in the second air duct for heating the gas flowing therethrough; the fan is mounted on the upper shell, and the air outlet of the fan is connected to the first air duct and the second air duct. In the present application, by arranging the fan, the first air duct, and the second air duct on the upper shell, and arranging the heating device in the second air duct, the air outlet of the fan is connected to the first air duct and the second air duct, a single fan can be used to complete moisture absorption and dehumidification of the moisture absorption wheel, which is more convenient and saves space.

[0017] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner comprising the indoor unit according to any one of the aforementioned embodiments.

[0018] The air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the present invention is achieved by integrally molding the mounting part and the middle frame, the mounting part and the middle frame enclosing a accommodating cavity, and providing a partition rib in the accommodating cavity, utilizing the partition rib to separate the accommodating cavity into a moisture absorption zone and a dehumidification zone, and rotatably installing the moisture absorption wheel in the accommodating cavity so that the moisture absorption wheel covers the moisture absorption zone and the dehumidification zone, and providing an indoor air outlet connected to the dehumidification zone on the middle frame for humidified air to flow out, thereby allowing the moisture absorption wheel to be installed on the middle frame, avoiding the need to provide a separate mounting base for the moisture absorption wheel and the space occupied by the separate mounting base, thereby making the structure of the indoor unit more compact.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] The humidifying device of the existing air conditioner with waterless humidification function needs to occupy a large space when integrated into the indoor unit 100, resulting in poor compactness of the structure of the indoor unit 100.

[0026] This embodiment provides an indoor unit 100 and an air conditioner, which can improve the problem of poor structural compactness of the indoor unit 100 when a humidifying device is installed in the indoor unit 100.

[0027] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 , this embodiment provides an air conditioner, which includes an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit, and the indoor unit 100 and the outdoor unit are connected by a pipe.

[0029] The indoor unit 100 includes a middle frame 110 and a moisture absorption wheel 130. The middle frame 110 is provided with a mounting portion 111. The mounting portion 111 and the middle frame 110 enclose a housing chamber 113. A partition rib 115 is provided within the housing chamber 113. The partition rib 115 divides the housing chamber 113 into a moisture absorption zone 117 and a dehumidification zone 119. The moisture absorption wheel 130 is rotatably mounted in the housing chamber 113 and covers both the moisture absorption zone 117 and the dehumidification zone 119. The area of ​​the moisture absorption wheel 130 corresponding to the moisture absorption zone 117 is used to absorb moisture from the air flowing through it. The area of ​​the moisture absorption wheel 130 corresponding to the dehumidification zone 119 is used to humidify the air flowing through it. The middle frame 110 is provided with an indoor air outlet 121 that is connected to the dehumidification zone 119. The indoor air outlet 121 is used to allow the humidified air to flow out.

[0030] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 111 is integrally formed with the middle frame 110, and the mounting portion 111 and the middle frame 110 are enclosed to form a accommodating chamber 113, and a dividing rib 115 is provided in the accommodating chamber 113, and the dividing rib 115 is used to divide the accommodating chamber 113 into a moisture absorption area 117 and a dehumidification area 119, and the moisture absorption wheel 130 is rotatably installed in the accommodating chamber 113 so that the moisture absorption wheel 130 covers the moisture absorption area 117 and the dehumidification area 119, and an indoor air outlet 121 connected to the dehumidification area 119 is provided on the middle frame 110 for humidified air to flow out, so that the moisture absorption wheel 130 is installed on the middle frame 110, avoiding the need to provide a separate mounting base for the moisture absorption wheel 130 and the space occupied by the separate mounting base, thereby making the structure of the indoor unit 100 more compact.

[0031] It is worth noting that the moisture absorbing wheel 130 has moisture absorption and release functions under different conditions. When normal temperature air passes through the moisture absorbing wheel 130, the moisture absorbing wheel 130 removes moisture from the normal temperature air, thereby storing the moisture in the moisture absorbing wheel 130. When high temperature air passes through the moisture absorbing wheel 130, the high temperature air removes the moisture stored in the moisture absorbing wheel 130, thereby increasing the humidity in the air and achieving the effect of waterless humidification. Rotating the moisture absorbing wheel 130 to set the accommodating chamber 113 can enable the moisture absorbing wheel 130 to continuously absorb and release moisture, thereby achieving a continuous humidification effect.

[0032] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 111 is integrally formed with the middle frame 110. The integral forming can avoid assembly between the mounting portion 111 and the middle frame 110.

[0033] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, the mounting portion 111 may also be detachably mounted on the middle frame 110 by means of a buckle, a hook, or a screw.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the middle frame 110 includes a bottom wall 123 and side walls 125 connected to each other. The side walls 125 are used to mount the panel, and the mounting portion 111 is protruded from the bottom wall 123. Protruding the mounting portion 111 from the bottom wall 123 can facilitate the installation of the moisture absorption wheel 130.

[0035] In this embodiment, the middle frame 110 further includes a curved transition wall 124, connecting the bottom wall 123 and the side walls 125. The indoor air outlet 121 is located in the transition wall 124. This placement of the indoor air outlet 121 directly faces the moisture absorption wheel 130, reducing airflow curvature, thereby avoiding airflow loss and reducing noise from the indoor air outlet 121.

[0036] In this embodiment, the middle frame 110 further includes an end plate 127 connected to both the bottom wall 123 and the side walls 125. The mounting portion 111 includes a first section 129, a second section 131, and a third section 133, which are sequentially connected. The first section 129, the second section 131, and the third section 133 are all protruding from the bottom wall 123. The first section 129 and the third section 133 are disposed opposite each other, with an end of the first section 129 connected to the side wall 125, and an end of the third section 133 connected to the end plate 127. Connecting one end of the first section 129 to the side wall 125 and one end of the third section 133 to the end plate 127 allows the mounting portion 111, the bottom wall 123, the side walls 125, and the end plate 127 to collectively enclose the accommodating chamber 113, thereby reducing the space occupied by the mounting portion 111, thereby maximizing space utilization and improving the compactness of the indoor unit 100.

[0037] Of course, in some other embodiments of the present application, the end of the third section 133 may also be connected to the side wall 125 , or connected to the junction of the side wall 125 and the end plate 127 .

[0038] It should be noted that the middle frame 110 is the main load-bearing component of the indoor unit 100. The panel, evaporator, fan, etc. of the indoor unit 100 are all installed in the middle frame 110. Generally, the middle frame 110 is formed by a bottom wall 123, a transition wall 124, side walls 125, and an end plate 127. The evaporator, fan, and other components are installed in the space enclosed by the bottom wall 123, the side walls 125, and the end plate 127.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second section 131 is arc-shaped, and its diameter is slightly larger than the diameter of the moisture absorption wheel 130 , so as to facilitate the installation of the moisture absorption wheel 130 in the accommodating cavity 113 .

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4In this embodiment, the dehumidification zone 119 is located near the side wall 125, while the moisture absorption zone 117 is located away from the side wall 125. The second section 131 is provided with an outdoor air outlet 135 that communicates with the moisture absorption zone 117. The outdoor air outlet 135 is used to connect to a pipeline to discharge the gas from the dehumidification zone 119 outdoors. Since the dehumidification zone 119 produces humid air, locating the dehumidification chamber near the side wall 125 facilitates the discharge of indoor air through the indoor air outlet 121. Since the moisture absorption zone 117 produces dry gas after dehumidification, it requires a pipeline to be connected to discharge it outdoors. Placing the moisture absorption zone 117 away from the side wall 125 facilitates this connection.

[0041] In this embodiment, the bottom wall 123 is provided with a mounting shaft 137, which is located in the accommodating cavity 113, and the moisture absorption wheel 130 is rotatably mounted on the mounting shaft 137. The mounting shaft 137 is provided on the bottom wall 123 to facilitate the installation of the moisture absorption wheel 130.

[0042] In this embodiment, a snap-fit ​​structure (not marked in the figure) is provided at the end of the mounting shaft 137, and a mounting hole (not marked in the figure) is provided on the hygroscopic wheel 130. The mounting shaft 137 is inserted into the mounting hole, and the snap-fit ​​structure abuts against the upper end surface of the hygroscopic wheel 130.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the separating ribs 115 include a first separating rib 139 and a second separating rib 141. The first separating rib 139 and the second separating rib 141 are both protruding from the bottom wall 123, and one end of each is connected to the mounting shaft 137. The other end of the first separating rib 139 and the other end of the second separating rib 141 extend at an angle toward the mounting portion 111, and are both connected to the mounting portion 111. One end of the first separating rib 139 and the second separating rib 141 are respectively connected to the mounting shaft 137, so that the first separating rib 139 and the second separating rib 141 can separate the moisture absorption wheel 130 into two shaped areas corresponding to the moisture absorption area 117 and the dehumidification area 119, so that the moisture absorption wheel 130 can absorb and release moisture cyclically.

[0044] In this embodiment, the angle between the first dividing rib 139 and the second dividing rib 141 is 140°, and the area corresponding to the 140° angle is the dehumidification zone 119, while the remaining area is the moisture absorption zone 117. The area of ​​the moisture absorption zone 117 is set to be larger than the area of ​​the dehumidification zone 119, thereby ensuring that the moisture absorption wheel 130 can absorb more moisture.

[0045] In this embodiment, the protruding height of the mounting portion 111 is higher than the protruding height of the separating ribs. This allows the mounting portion 111 to partially enclose the outer side of the moisture absorbing wheel 130, allowing the moisture absorbing wheel 130 to absorb and release moisture.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the indoor unit 100 further includes an upper shell 150, a heating element 170, a driving element (not shown) and a fan (not shown). The upper shell 150 is installed on the side of the moisture absorption wheel 130 away from the accommodating chamber 113 and is connected to the mounting portion 111. The upper shell 150 is provided with a first air duct 151 connected to the moisture absorption zone 117 and a second air duct 153 connected to the dehumidification zone 119. The heating element 170 is installed in the second air duct 153 for heating the gas flowing through. The fan is installed in the upper shell 150, and the air outlet of the fan is connected to the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 153. The driving element is installed in the middle frame 110, and the driving element can drive the moisture absorption wheel 130 to rotate. In this application, a fan, a first air duct 151 and a second air duct 153 are arranged on the upper shell 150, and a heating device is arranged in the second air duct 153. The air outlet of the fan is connected to the first air duct 151 and the second air duct 153, so that the moisture absorption wheel 130 can be used to absorb and release moisture with one fan, which is more convenient and saves space.

[0047] In this embodiment, teeth (not shown) are provided on the outer periphery of the moisture absorption wheel 130, giving the moisture absorption wheel 130 a gear-like shape. The driving member includes a motor and a drive gear. The drive gear is mounted on the output shaft of the motor and engages with the teeth of the moisture absorption wheel 130, thereby driving the moisture absorption wheel 130 to rotate through the rotation of the motor.

[0048] It should be noted that the humidification principle of the indoor unit 100 provided in this embodiment is generally as follows: the fan rotates to blow air toward the first and second air ducts 151 and 153. The air flowing into the first air duct 151 passes through the moisture absorption wheel 130, where moisture is absorbed and stored. The remaining dry air enters the moisture absorption zone 117 and is discharged outdoors through the outdoor outlet 135. The air flowing into the second air duct 153 is heated by the heater 170 and flows toward the moisture absorption wheel 130. After passing through the moisture absorption wheel 130, the hot air removes the moisture stored therefrom and then enters the dehumidification zone 119 and flows indoors through the indoor outlet 121. Because the moisture absorption wheel 130 rotates, it can achieve continuous moisture absorption and dehumidification.

[0049] In summary, the working principles and beneficial effects of an indoor unit 100 and an air conditioner provided by an embodiment of the present invention include:

[0050] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 111 and the middle frame 110 are integrally formed, and the mounting portion 111 and the middle frame 110 are enclosed to form a accommodating chamber 113, and a dividing rib 115 is provided in the accommodating chamber 113, and the dividing rib 115 is used to divide the accommodating chamber 113 into a moisture absorption area 117 and a dehumidification area 119, and the moisture absorption wheel 130 is rotatably installed in the accommodating chamber 113 so that the moisture absorption wheel 130 covers the moisture absorption area 117 and the dehumidification area 119, and an indoor air outlet 121 connected to the dehumidification area 119 is provided on the middle frame 110 for humidified air to flow out, so that the moisture absorption wheel 130 is installed on the middle frame 110, avoiding the need to provide a separate mounting base for the moisture absorption wheel 130 and the space occupied by the separate mounting base, thereby making the structure of the indoor unit 100 more compact.

[0051] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention should be based on the scope defined by the claims.
