Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, and particularly relates to a ring-shaped ceiling-mounted laminar air flow delivery mechanism and its air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air conditioners, as air conditioning devices that cool, purify, and circulate indoor air to maintain a comfortable indoor environment, have become common electrical appliances. Based on their product form, air conditioners can be divided into various types, including ceiling-mounted air conditioners installed on or inside the ceiling. In ceiling-mounted air conditioners, the air supply mechanism is an essential component, enabling the rapid exhaust of air cooled or heated by the air conditioner into the room, thereby providing a comfortable indoor environment. Dust easily accumulates between the air supply mechanism and the air outlet. In existing technologies, maintenance and cleaning require manual removal of the air supply mechanism and cleaning of the air outlet, which is inconvenient and creates difficulties for cleaning work. Therefore, there is a need for an air supply mechanism that can automatically and regularly clean the air outlet to prevent dust accumulation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an air supply mechanism that can automatically clean the air outlet of an air conditioner regularly to avoid dust accumulation.

[0004] A ring-shaped ceiling-mounted laminar airflow ventilation mechanism and its air conditioner include a connecting ring, a rubber barrel fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting ring, a bottom ring fixedly connected to the lower end of the rubber barrel, a filter element detachably connected to the lower end of the bottom ring by bolts, multiple threaded holes on the connecting ring, a fixing plate fixedly connected to the connecting ring, a rotating head rotatably connected to the fixing plate, multiple blades fixedly connected to the rotating head, a sliding plate slidably connected to the fixing plate, and a ring and a brush connected to the sliding plate.

[0005] It also includes a horizontal plate fixed to the skateboard, a sliding sleeve slidably connected to the horizontal plate, an inclined plate fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding sleeve, a mating part slidably connected to the horizontal plate, a first tension spring fixedly connected between the mating part and the horizontal plate, the horizontal plate slidably connected to the skateboard, a second tension spring fixedly connected between the skateboard and the horizontal plate, the lower end of the mating part can contact the blade, and the inclined plate can contact the mating part.

[0006] It also includes a baffle fixed to the transverse plate, which can contact the slide. Attached Figure Description

[0017] See Figure 1-2 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the present invention that can automatically and periodically clean the air conditioner vents to prevent dust accumulation. Further,

[0018] This mechanism includes a connecting ring 101, a rubber barrel 102 fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting ring 101, a bottom ring 103 fixedly connected to the lower end of the rubber barrel 102, a filter element detachably connected to the lower end of the bottom ring 103 by bolts, multiple threaded holes 104 opened on the connecting ring 101, a fixing plate 105 fixedly connected to the connecting ring 101, a rotating head 201 rotatably connected to the fixing plate 105, multiple blades 202 fixedly connected to the rotating head 201, a sliding plate 301 slidably connected to the fixing plate 105, an annular cleaning brush 303 connected to the sliding plate 301, a toothed ring fixedly connected to the rotating head 201, a gear rotatably connected to the fixing plate 105, the gear meshing with the toothed ring, a first motor capable of driving the gear to rotate fixedly connected to the fixing plate 105, the filter element connected to the lower end of the bottom ring 103 can be a common and mature filter screen, activated carbon, or other structure with air filtration function in the prior art, and a first electric push rod capable of pushing the sliding plate 301 to slide fixedly connected to the fixing plate 105.

[0019] The device is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner by screwing bolts into multiple threaded holes 104. When the air conditioner is turned on to cool or heat the outside air, the rotating head 201 rotates continuously, which in turn causes multiple blades 202 to rotate continuously. This draws the cooled or heated air out of the air conditioner outlet and into the space below the connecting ring 101. The cooled or heated air then passes through the rubber barrel 102, the bottom ring 103, and the filter element that is detachably connected to the bottom ring 103 by bolts, and then enters the room. This allows clean air with temperature to be discharged into the room, thereby improving the indoor environment. After the filter element has been used to purify the air for a period of time, it can be replaced to ensure the cleanliness of the air discharged into the room for a long time.

[0020] During the air supply operation of this device, the sliding plate 301 can be periodically operated to slide on the fixed plate 105, which in turn causes the sliding plate 301 to periodically drive the annular cleaning brush 303 to slide up and down repeatedly. This causes the annular cleaning brush 303 to periodically brush the inner wall of the air conditioner outlet, thereby brushing off the dust adhering to the inner wall of the air conditioner. This achieves the purpose of automatically cleaning the air conditioner outlet periodically and avoiding dust accumulation. The dust brushed off by the annular cleaning brush 303 will automatically fall into the connecting ring 101 and onto the filter element on the bottom ring 103. When the staff removes and replaces the filter element periodically, the brushed-off dust will automatically be discharged from the connecting ring 101, thus completing the dust discharge work.

[0021] When conventional air supply mechanisms accumulate excessive dust inside the air outlet, staff need to manually disassemble the air supply mechanism and clean the air outlet, which is very inconvenient. The ring-shaped cleaning brush 303 eliminates the need for staff to frequently remove the connecting ring 101 from the air outlet and manually clean the dust adhering to the air outlet. While ensuring the cleanliness of the inner wall of the air outlet, it reduces the number of times manual cleaning is required. Staff only need to clean the bottom ring 103 and the inner wall of the rubber barrel 102 each time the filter is replaced, which provides convenience for staff cleaning and maintenance.

[0022] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 9 The diagram shows an embodiment of the improved cleaning effect according to the present invention. Further,

[0023] It also includes a transverse plate 302 fixed to the slide plate 301, a sliding sleeve 401 slidably connected to the transverse plate 302, an inclined plate 402 fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding sleeve 401, a mating part 304 slidably connected to the transverse plate 302, a first tension spring fixedly connected between the mating part 304 and the transverse plate 302, the transverse plate 302 slidably connected to the slide plate 301, a second tension spring fixedly connected between the slide plate 301 and the transverse plate 302, a third electric push rod that can push the sliding sleeve 401 to slide on the transverse plate 302, the inclined plate 402 can contact the mating part 304, and the elastic force of the first tension spring is less than the elastic force of the second tension spring.

[0024] When the sliding plate 301 moves up and down, it will cause the horizontal plate 302 to move synchronously. Then, the annular cleaning brush 303 will brush the inner wall of the air conditioner vent to perform the cleaning task. At the same time, when cleaning the inner wall of the air conditioner vent, the rotating head 201 can be started and the rotating head 201 will continue to rotate. Then, during the cleaning process, external force will be applied to the dust adhering to the inner wall of the air conditioner vent, making it easier to sweep the dust off.

[0025] Meanwhile, as the rotating head 201 rotates, multiple blades 202 will sequentially contact the mating part 304. Then, through the mating part 304, the transverse plate 302 will be driven to vibrate up and down on the slide plate 301 against the tension of the second tension spring. After the slide plate 301 moves to a certain height, the annular cleaning brush 303 can brush up and down at a high frequency within a certain range, thereby improving the cleaning effect of dust.

[0026] Meanwhile, as the slide plate 301 slides upward, the sliding sleeve 401 adapts and causes the inclined plate 402 to push the mating part 304 to overcome the elastic force of the first tension spring and slide on the transverse plate 302. As a result, during the sliding of the slide plate 301, the mating part 304 will always be in a position that can contact the blade 202, thereby ensuring the transmission effect.

[0027] See Figure 3-4 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the photographic method for ensuring cleaning effectiveness according to the present invention. Further,

[0028] It also includes a baffle 305 fixed to the transverse plate 302. The baffle 305 can contact the slide plate 301. Under normal conditions, the transverse plate 302 is subjected to the elastic force of the second tension spring, which makes the baffle 305 press tightly against the slide plate 301.

[0029] The baffle 305 restricts the sliding direction of the annular cleaning brush 303, so that under normal conditions the annular cleaning brush 303 can only slide upward along the slide plate 301. This ensures that when multiple blades 202 contact the mating part 304 in sequence, the mating part 304 can be smoothly moved multiple times, causing the annular cleaning brush 303 to slide upward. When the blade 202 in contact with the mating part 304 rotates to the point of being misaligned with the mating part 304, the second tension spring will automatically push the annular cleaning brush 303 back to its original position, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0030] See Figure 3-5 The diagram illustrates an embodiment of the invention that enables workers to promptly monitor equipment operation. Further,

[0031] It also includes a striking head 403 fixed to the sliding sleeve 401.

[0032] When the sliding sleeve 401 drives the mating part 304 to slide, the sliding sleeve 401 can be periodically operated to slide in the opposite direction on the transverse plate 302, causing the striking head 403 to collide with the fixed plate 105 and periodically emit a sound. This allows personnel who have not opened the equipment to accurately judge whether the sliding sleeve 401 can slide normally by the sound, thus keeping track of the equipment's operating status in a timely manner. At the same time, when the sliding plate 301 slides upward, the transverse plate 302 will slide upward synchronously with the sliding plate 301, thus changing the vertical height of the sliding sleeve 401. This allows external personnel to accurately judge whether the sliding plate 301 can slide normally by the positional change of the striking sound of the striking head 403, further facilitating timely monitoring of the equipment's operating status.

[0033] See Figure 1 , Figure 6 , Figure 10 A schematic diagram of an embodiment according to the present invention that facilitates improved air supply effect is shown. Further,

[0034] It also includes an auxiliary part 207 fixed to the lower end of the rotating head 201, and a push rod 503 is slidably connected to the auxiliary part 207. The push rod 503 can contact the inner wall of the bottom ring 103.

[0035] When the rotating head 201 rotates continuously, and then the multiple blades 202 rotate continuously to perform air supply, the auxiliary part 207 will always rotate synchronously with the rotating head 201. During the rotation of the auxiliary part 207, the push rod 503 can be extended periodically, which will then apply a pushing force to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103. Since the rubber barrel 102 is made of rubber, it can deform to a certain extent, which will cause the bottom ring 103 to bend and deform, thereby changing the air supply position. When the push rod 503 continuously applies a pushing force to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103 during the rotation of the auxiliary part 207, the bottom ring 103 will continuously move during the air supply process, thereby continuously changing the air supply position of the equipment during the air supply process, making the air supplied into the room more natural, avoiding direct blowing, and thus improving the air supply effect.

[0036] See Figure 6-7 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention that facilitates the sliding of the push rod 503 is shown. Further,

[0037] It also includes a pressure ring 501 that is slidably connected to the auxiliary part 207, one end of a hinge rod 502 is hinged to the pressure ring 501, and the other end of the hinge rod 502 is hinged to the push rod 503.

[0038] By sliding the lower pressure ring 501 downwards, one end of the hinge rod 502 can move synchronously with the lower pressure ring 501, which in turn causes the other end of the hinge rod 502 to push the push rod 503 to slide, thereby applying a thrust to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103, which facilitates subsequent operations to change the air supply position.

[0039] See Figure 6-9 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention that facilitates the downward sliding of the pressure ring 501 is shown. Further,

[0040] It also includes a pressure plate 601 that is slidably connected to the fixed plate 105. A contact head 602 is connected to the pressure plate 601. A transmission head 204 is fixedly connected to each blade 202. The transmission head 204 can contact the upper end of the contact head 602. A third tension spring is fixedly connected between the lower pressure ring 501 and the auxiliary part 207. Under normal conditions, the lower pressure ring 501 will be pressed tightly against the bottom surface of the pressure plate 601 by the elastic force of the third tension spring. A cylindrical block is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 601. The cylindrical block can contact the fixed plate 105 and make the cylindrical block on the pressure plate 601 fit tightly against the lower end of the fixed plate 105.

[0041] As the rotating head 201 continues to rotate, the multiple transmission heads 204 on the multiple blades 202 will sequentially contact the upper end of the contact head 602, thereby applying a downward thrust to the contact head 602. This causes the contact head 602 to drive the pressure plate 601 to slide downward, which in turn causes the pressure plate 601 to press the lower pressure ring 501 against the tension of the third tension spring and slide downward. This causes the push rod 503 to slide, thus achieving the effect of applying a thrust to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103.

[0042] When the contact head 602 is misaligned with the transmission head 204, the elastic force of the third tension spring can pull the lower pressure ring 501 to reset, thereby resetting the contact head 602, which facilitates the next toggle operation.

[0043] See Figure 6-9 A schematic diagram of an embodiment of the present invention, which is capable of continuously applying thrust to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103 and facilitates adjustment of the thrust force, is shown. Further,

[0044] It also includes a transmission ring 205 fixed between multiple blades 202, the contact head 602 is slidably connected to the pressure plate 601, the lower end of the transmission ring 205 is provided with an inclined surface with gradually increasing thickness from the inside to the outside, and a fourth electric push rod that can push the contact head 602 to slide is fixed on the pressure plate 601.

[0045] When it is necessary to continuously apply a thrust to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103 during the rotation of the rotating head 201, the operable contact head 602 can slide along the pressure plate 601, thereby moving the contact head 602 to the contact position with the transmission ring 205. At this time, when the blade 202 is continuously rotated, the contact head 602 will always be subjected to the thrust provided by the inclined surface on the transmission ring 205, thereby causing the push rod 503 to always extend a certain length on the auxiliary part 207 during the rotation of the auxiliary part 207, thereby achieving the effect of continuously applying a thrust to the inner wall of the bottom ring 103. At the same time, since the thickness of the inclined surface at the lower end of the transmission ring 205 gradually increases from the inside to the outside, the height of the lower pressure ring 501 can be changed by sliding the contact head 602 to different positions on the inclined surface, thereby causing the bottom ring 103 to drive the rubber barrel 102 to move to different degrees, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the thrust force.

[0046] At the same time, the operation status of the rotating head 201 and the movement status of the contact head 602 can be observed from the outside of the equipment based on whether the bottom ring 103 and the rubber barrel 102 move relative to the connecting ring 101 and whether the movement trajectory changes. This makes it easier to understand the operation of the equipment. When multiple air conditioners are placed side by side, staff can quickly understand whether the air supply mechanism on each air conditioner is operating normally by observation, which further provides convenience for staff.

[0047] See Figure 6-7A schematic diagram of an embodiment for reducing obstruction to airflow is shown, further,

[0048] The transmission ring 205 has multiple through holes 206.

[0049] The arrangement of multiple through holes 206 allows airflow to pass smoothly through the multiple through holes 206 to the location of the transmission ring 205, thereby reducing obstruction to airflow.

[0050] An air conditioner includes an air outlet, and the air outlet is provided with a ring-shaped ceiling-mounted laminar air flow delivery mechanism.
