air conditioner

Abstract

This invention provides an air conditioner in which a partition divides the internal cavity of the casing into two independent chambers. The partition has a connecting opening between the two independent chambers, and two fan assemblies are respectively disposed within the two independent chambers. Each fan assembly corresponds one-to-one with one of the two connecting openings. When both fan assemblies are in a blocked state, each fan assembly blocks its corresponding connecting opening, so that air drawn in from the outside of the casing by each fan assembly flows through the corresponding heat exchanger and then exits to the outside of the casing. When both fan assemblies are in a yielding state, each fan assembly moves away from its corresponding connecting opening, so that air drawn in from the outside of the casing by each fan assembly flows sequentially through the corresponding connecting opening and the heat exchanger in the other independent chamber before exiting to the outside of the casing. This air conditioner solves the problem of increased overall size in existing cabinet air conditioners designed to achieve multiple airflow modes.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of communication technology, the number of server racks, data centers, and other equipment is gradually increasing. High temperatures are often generated during equipment operation. Due to the size limitations of the server racks themselves, there is limited space for air conditioners, thus requiring them to control the temperature within a confined space. Under these circumstances, smaller integrated rack air conditioners cannot deliver fresh air and rely on mechanical refrigeration, resulting in high energy consumption over long-term use. Integrated rack air conditioners that can deliver fresh air often require additional components, increasing their size and making them unsuitable for smaller server racks.

[0003] During the operation of integrated rack-mount air conditioners, the air conditioner needs to maintain cooling and temperature control for a long time due to the continuous heat generated inside the rack, resulting in high energy consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce fresh air when the outside temperature is low in order to reduce air conditioning energy consumption. In the past, most fresh air air conditioners used multiple fans to achieve different modes of air intake and exhaust, but this would increase the overall size of the air conditioner, making it unsuitable for some small racks. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Furthermore, the slide rail includes a straight slide rail section and an arc-shaped slide rail section, with the first end of the arc-shaped slide rail section connected and communicating with the second end of the straight slide rail section; the sliding member includes a first sliding part and a second sliding part, both of which are fixedly connected to the fan; the first sliding part is slidably arranged along the straight slide rail section, and the second sliding part is slidably arranged along the arc-shaped slide rail section; the drive assembly includes a second telescopic member and a transmission member, with the telescopic direction of the second telescopic member being parallel to or the same as the extension direction of the straight slide rail section; the second telescopic member is connected to the support member and also to the first sliding part to drive the first sliding part to slide; the transmission member is connected to the support member and is rotatably arranged relative to the support member around a first axis, the first axis coinciding with the central axis of the arc-shaped slide rail section; the transmission member is fixedly connected to the second sliding part so that the transmission member drives the second sliding part to slide along the arc-shaped slide rail section, and thus, under the combined action of the transmission member driving the second sliding part to slide and the second telescopic member driving the first sliding part to slide, the fan rotates around a second axis between a first position and a second position, the second axis being parallel to the first axis.

[0017] According to the technical solution of this invention, the air conditioner includes a casing, two heat exchangers, a partition, and two fan assemblies. The two heat exchangers are an evaporator and a condenser, respectively. The partition is disposed inside the casing to divide the internal cavity of the casing into two independent chambers, and the two heat exchangers are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers. The partition has two connecting openings for connecting the two independent chambers. The two fan assemblies are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers, and the fan assembly in each independent chamber corresponds to a heat exchanger. The two fan assemblies are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two connecting openings. The partition is movably configured to allow the fan assembly to have a shielded state and a yielded state; wherein, when both fan assemblies are in the shielded state, each fan assembly shields the corresponding communication opening, so that the air drawn in by each fan assembly from the outside of the casing flows through the corresponding heat exchanger and then flows out to the outside of the casing; when both fan assemblies are in the yielded state, each fan assembly moves away from the corresponding communication opening, so that the corresponding communication opening is open, and thus the air drawn in by each fan assembly from the outside of the casing flows through the corresponding communication opening and the heat exchanger in another independent chamber in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing.

[0018] Specifically, the two independent chambers are the first chamber and the second chamber, with the evaporator located in the first chamber and the condenser located in the second chamber; the two connecting openings are the first opening and the second opening, and the two fan assemblies are the first fan assembly and the second fan assembly, with the first fan assembly located in the first chamber and the second fan assembly located in the second chamber; the first fan assembly corresponds to the first opening and the second fan assembly corresponds to the second opening.

[0019] When both fan components are blocked, the first fan component is blocked at the first opening and the second fan component is blocked at the second opening. At this time, the air conditioner is in normal mode. The first chamber and the second chamber are not connected. The air drawn in by the first fan component from the outside of the casing flows through the evaporator and then flows out to the outside of the casing. The air drawn in by the second fan component from the outside of the casing flows through the condenser and then flows out to the outside of the casing.

[0020] When both fan components are in the yielding state, the first fan component moves away from the first opening, and the second fan component moves away from the second opening, so that both the first and second openings are in the open state. At this time, the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode. At this time, the air drawn in by the first fan component from the outside of the casing flows through the first opening and the condenser in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing. The air drawn in by the second fan component from the outside of the casing flows through the second opening and the evaporator in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing.

[0021] The air conditioner of this application can change its operating mode by altering the state of the fan assembly. It can change the airflow path for different modes while maintaining the original size of the cabinet air conditioner, thereby achieving the purpose of fresh air delivery. In other words, the air conditioner of this application can achieve different air outlet modes without increasing the original size of the cabinet air conditioner or significantly altering its overall structure, thus solving the problem of increased overall size in existing cabinet air conditioners designed to achieve multiple air outlet modes.

[0053] This invention provides an air conditioner; please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figures 1 to 20The air conditioner includes a casing 10, two heat exchangers 20, a partition 30, and two fan assemblies 40. The two heat exchangers 20 are an evaporator 21 and a condenser 22, respectively. The partition 30 is disposed inside the casing 10 to divide the internal cavity of the casing 10 into two independent chambers 11, and the two heat exchangers 20 are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers 11. The partition 30 has two connecting openings 31 for connecting the two independent chambers 11. The two fan assemblies 40 are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers 11, and the fan assembly 40 in each independent chamber 11 corresponds to a heat exchanger 20. The two fan assemblies 40 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two connecting openings 31. The separator 30 is movably configured to allow the fan assembly 40 to have a shielded state and a yielded state. When both fan assemblies 40 are in the shielded state, each fan assembly 40 shields the corresponding communication opening 31, so that the air drawn in by each fan assembly 40 from the outside of the casing 10 flows out to the outside of the casing 10 after passing through the corresponding heat exchanger 20. When both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielded state, each fan assembly 40 moves away from the corresponding communication opening 31, so that the corresponding communication opening 31 is open, and the air drawn in by each fan assembly 40 from the outside of the casing 10 flows out to the outside of the casing 10 after passing through the corresponding communication opening 31 and the heat exchanger 20 in another independent chamber 11.

[0054] Specifically, the two independent chambers 11 are the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, respectively. The evaporator 21 is disposed in the first chamber 111 and the condenser 22 is disposed in the second chamber 112. The two connecting openings 31 are the first opening 311 and the second opening 312, respectively. The two fan assemblies 40 are the first fan assembly 401 and the second fan assembly 402, respectively. The first fan assembly 401 is disposed in the first chamber 111 and the second fan assembly 402 is disposed in the second chamber 112. The first fan assembly 401 corresponds to the first opening 311 and the second fan assembly 402 corresponds to the second opening 312.

[0055] When both fan assemblies 40 are in a blocked state, the first fan assembly 401 is blocked at the first opening 311, and the second fan assembly 402 is blocked at the second opening 312. At this time, the air conditioner is in normal mode. The first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are not connected. The air drawn in by the first fan assembly 401 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the evaporator 21 and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10. The air drawn in by the second fan assembly 402 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the condenser 22 and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10.

[0056] When both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielding state, the first fan assembly 401 moves away from the first opening 311, and the second fan assembly 402 moves away from the second opening 312, so that both the first opening 311 and the second opening 312 are in the open state. At this time, the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode. At this time, the air drawn in by the first fan assembly 401 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the first opening 311 and the condenser 22 in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10. The air drawn in by the second fan assembly 402 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the second opening 312 and the evaporator 21 in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10.

[0057] Optionally, the air conditioner is a rack-mounted air conditioner.

[0058] The air conditioner of this application can change its operating mode by altering the state of the fan assembly 40. It can achieve changes in the airflow path for different modes while maintaining the original size of the cabinet air conditioner, thus achieving the purpose of fresh air delivery. In other words, the air conditioner of this application can achieve different air outlet modes without increasing the original size of the cabinet air conditioner or significantly altering its overall structure, solving the problem of increased overall size in existing cabinet air conditioners designed to achieve multiple air outlet modes.

[0059] In this embodiment, the first fan assembly 401 is used to draw in airflow from the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, and the second fan assembly 402 is used to draw in airflow from the outdoor environment; the airflow after passing through the evaporator 21 is blown into the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, and the airflow after passing through the condenser 22 is blown into the outdoor environment.

[0060] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in normal mode, the first fan assembly 401 draws in indoor air, which is cooled by the evaporator 21 to form cold air and is then blown into the room. Figure 2 The solid arrows in the image indicate the flow direction; the second fan assembly 402 draws in outdoor air, which undergoes heat exchange as it passes through the condenser 22. After heat exchange, the resulting hot air is blown outdoors. Figure 2 The flow direction is indicated by the dashed arrow in the diagram; at this time, both the evaporator 21 and the condenser 22 are in operation, and the air conditioner is performing mechanical refrigeration; at this time, both the first fan assembly 401 and the second fan assembly 402 are in normal working condition.

[0061] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in fresh air mode, the second fan assembly 402 draws in fresh outdoor air, which then flows through the evaporator 21 and is blown into the indoor environment. Figure 3 The dashed arrows indicate the airflow direction; the first fan assembly 401 draws in indoor air, which is then blown out to the outdoor environment after passing through the condenser 22. Figure 3The solid arrows in the diagram indicate the flow direction; at this time, both the evaporator 21 and the condenser 22 stop operating and only perform airflow function, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing the energy consumption of the air conditioner.

[0062] In practice, when the outdoor ambient temperature is lower than the air conditioner's set temperature, the air conditioner can be switched to fresh air mode. Specifically, a temperature sensor is used to detect the outdoor ambient temperature.

[0063] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is provided with a first inlet 141 and a second inlet 142. When both fan assemblies 40 are in a blocked state, the air inlet of the first fan assembly 401 is opposite to the first inlet 141, and the second fan assembly 402 is opposite to the second inlet 142, so that the air inlet of the first fan assembly 401 is connected to the first inlet 141, and the air inlet of the second fan assembly 402 is connected to the second inlet 142. This allows the first fan assembly 401 to draw in airflow from outside the air conditioner through the first inlet 141, and the second fan assembly 402 to draw in airflow from outside the air conditioner through the second inlet 142.

[0064] Specifically, the first inlet 141 is oriented towards the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, so that the first inlet 141 is connected to the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, thereby allowing the first fan assembly 401 to draw in indoor air through the first inlet 141. The second inlet 142 is oriented towards the outdoor environment, so that the second inlet 142 is connected to the outdoor environment, thereby allowing the second fan assembly 402 to draw in outdoor air through the second inlet 142.

[0065] Figures 1 to 3 The first air inlet 491 is the air inlet of the first fan assembly 401. Figures 1 to 3 The second air inlet 492 is the air inlet of the second fan assembly 402.

[0066] In this embodiment, the housing 10 is provided with a third inlet 143 and a fourth inlet 144. The air conditioner also includes a first air duct 511 and a second air duct 521. The first air duct 511 is disposed in the first chamber 111, and the second air duct 521 is disposed in the second chamber 112. The first end of the first air duct 511 is connected to and communicates with the third inlet 143, and the first end of the second air duct 521 is connected to and communicates with the fourth inlet 144. When both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielding state, the air inlet of the first fan assembly 401 is connected to the first air duct 511. The second ports of the first fan assembly 401 and the second port of the second air duct 521 are arranged opposite to each other, so that the air inlet of the first fan assembly 401 is connected to the second port of the first air duct 511, and the air inlet of the second fan assembly 402 is connected to the second port of the second air duct 521. This allows the air outside the air conditioner to be drawn into the first fan assembly 401 after passing through the third inlet 143 and the first air duct 511, and the air outside the air conditioner to be drawn into the second fan assembly 402 after passing through the fourth inlet 144 and the second air duct 521. Figures 1 to 3 The lower port 5113 is the second port of the first air duct 511. Figures 1 to 3 The upper port 5213 is the second port of the second air duct 521.

[0067] Specifically, the third inlet 143 is oriented towards the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, so that the third inlet 143 is connected to the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, thereby allowing the first fan assembly 401 to draw in indoor air through the third inlet 143 and the first air duct 511. The fourth inlet 144 is oriented towards the outdoor environment, so that the fourth inlet 144 is connected to the outdoor environment, thereby allowing the second fan assembly 402 to draw in outdoor air through the fourth inlet 144 and the second air duct 521.

[0068] Specifically, the air conditioner also includes a first connecting member 51, a first air duct 511 is disposed on the first connecting member 51, and the first connecting member 51 is disposed in the first chamber 111.

[0069] Specifically, the air conditioner also includes a second connecting member 52, a second air duct 521 is disposed on the second connecting member 52, and the second connecting member 52 is disposed in the second chamber 112.

[0070] In this embodiment, the plane where the first inlet 141 is located and the plane where the second port of the first air duct 511 is located are set at an angle; the plane where the second inlet 142 is located and the plane where the second port of the second air duct 521 is located are set at an angle.

[0071] Optionally, the plane where the first inlet 141 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second port of the first air duct 511 is located, that is, the angle between the plane where the first inlet 141 is located and the plane where the second port of the first air duct 511 is located is 90 degrees.

[0072] Optionally, the plane where the second inlet 142 is located is perpendicular to the plane where the second port of the second air duct 521 is located, that is, the angle between the plane where the second inlet 142 is located and the plane where the second port of the second air duct 521 is located is 90 degrees.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first inlet 141 and the third inlet 143 are on the same plane; the first air duct 511 includes a first air duct section 5111 and a third air duct section 5112. The first end of the first air duct section 5111 is connected to and communicates with the third inlet 143, that is, the first end of the first air duct section 5111 is the first end of the first air duct 511; the second end of the first air duct section 5111 is connected to and communicates with the first end of the third air duct section 5112, and the second port of the third air duct section 5112 is the second port of the first air duct 511; the axial direction of the first air duct section 5111 and the axial direction of the third air duct section 5112 are set at an angle.

[0074] Specifically, the angle between the axial direction of the first air duct section 5111 and the axial direction of the third air duct section 5112 is equal to the angle between the plane containing the first inlet 141 and the plane containing the second port of the first air duct 511. Optionally, when the plane containing the first inlet 141 is perpendicular to the plane containing the second port of the first air duct 511, the axial direction of the first air duct section 5111 is perpendicular to the axial direction of the third air duct section 5112.

[0075] In this embodiment, the second inlet 142 and the fourth inlet 144 are on the same plane; the second air duct 521 includes a second air duct section 5211 and a fourth air duct section 5212. The first end of the second air duct section 5211 is connected to and communicates with the fourth inlet 144, that is, the first end of the second air duct section 5211 is the first end of the second air duct 521; the second end of the second air duct section 5211 is connected to and communicates with the first end of the fourth air duct section 5212, and the second port of the fourth air duct section 5212 is the second port of the second air duct 521; the axial direction of the second air duct section 5211 and the axial direction of the fourth air duct section 5212 are set at an angle.

[0076] Specifically, the angle between the axial direction of the second air duct section 5211 and the axial direction of the fourth air duct section 5212 is equal to the angle between the plane containing the second inlet 142 and the plane containing the second port of the second air duct 521. Optionally, when the plane containing the second inlet 142 is perpendicular to the plane containing the second port of the second air duct 521, the axial direction of the second air duct section 5211 and the axial direction of the fourth air duct section 5212 are perpendicular.

[0077] Specifically, the housing 10 includes an inner panel 12 and an outer panel 13 arranged opposite to each other. The first inlet 141 and the third inlet 143 are both arranged on the inner panel 12, and the second inlet 142 and the fourth inlet 144 are both arranged on the outer panel 13. The inner panel 12 is oriented towards the indoor environment where the air conditioner is located, and the outer panel 13 is oriented towards the outside.

[0078] In this embodiment, the first air duct 511 is located above the first fan assembly 401, and the evaporator 21 is located below the first fan assembly 401; the first inlet 141 is located below the third inlet 143.

[0079] Specifically, the first air duct 511 and the first fan assembly 401 are both located in the upper part of the first chamber 111, and the evaporator 21 is located in the lower part of the first chamber 111. The first inlet 141 and the third inlet 143 are both located in the upper part of the internal panel 12.

[0080] In this embodiment, the second air duct 521 is located below the second fan assembly 402, and the condenser 22 is located above the second fan assembly 402; the second inlet 142 is located above the fourth inlet 144.

[0081] Specifically, the second air duct 521 and the second fan assembly 402 are both located in the lower part of the second chamber 112, the condenser 22 is located in the upper part of the second chamber 112, and the second inlet 142 and the fourth inlet 144 are both located in the lower part of the external panel 13.

[0082] In this embodiment, the evaporator 21 is located on one side of the second opening 312 so that when the second fan assembly 402 is in the yielding state, the air flowing out of the second opening 312 can flow to and through the evaporator 21. The condenser 22 is located on one side of the first opening 311 so that when the first fan assembly 401 is in the yielding state, the air flowing out of the first opening 311 can flow to and through the condenser 22.

[0083] Specifically, the evaporator 21 is positioned opposite to the second opening 312; the condenser 22 is positioned opposite to the first opening 311.

[0084] In this embodiment, the internal cavity of the housing 10 is a rectangular cavity or an approximately rectangular cavity; the partition 30 is set at an acute angle to the bottom surface of the internal cavity of the housing 10.

[0085] Specifically, the separator 30 is a plate-like structure.

[0086] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 40 includes a fan 41 and a shielding part 42 connected to the fan 41. The air inlet of the fan 41 is the air inlet of the fan assembly 40, and the air outlet of the fan 41 is the air outlet of the fan assembly 40. Along the axial direction of the fan 41, the fan 41 has two axial end faces. The air inlet of the fan 41 is disposed on one axial end face of the fan 41, and the air outlet of the fan 41 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the fan 41. The outer peripheral surface of the fan 41 is arranged around its central axis.

[0087] When the fan assembly 40 is in a blocked state, the blocking part 42 blocks the corresponding connecting opening 31, and the corresponding heat exchanger 20 is located on the air outlet path of the fan 41 so that at least part of the air flowing out of the fan 41 can flow to the corresponding heat exchanger 20.

[0088] Specifically, when both fan assemblies 40 are in a shielded state, the shielding part 42 of the first fan assembly 401 shields the first opening 311, and the shielding part 42 of the second fan assembly 402 shields the second opening 312. The evaporator 21 is located on the air outlet path of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401, and the condenser 22 is located on the air outlet path of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402. This allows at least a portion of the air flowing out of the air outlet of the first fan assembly 401 to flow towards the evaporator 21 and then through the evaporator 21, and at least a portion of the air flowing out of the air outlet of the second fan assembly 402 to flow towards the condenser 22 and then through the condenser 22.

[0089] When the fan assembly 40 is in the yielding state, the shield 42 is away from the corresponding connecting opening 31, which is located on the air outlet path of the fan 41, so that at least part of the air flowing out of the fan 41 can flow to the corresponding connecting opening 31. At this time, the corresponding heat exchanger 20 is not on the air outlet path of the fan 41, so the air flowing out of the fan 41 will not flow to the corresponding heat exchanger 20.

[0090] Specifically, when both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielding state, the shielding portion 42 of the first fan assembly 401 is away from the first opening 311, and the shielding portion 42 of the second fan assembly 402 is away from the second opening 312. The first opening 311 is located on the air outlet path of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401, and the second opening 312 is located on the air outlet path of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402. This allows at least a portion of the air flowing out of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401 to flow towards the first opening 311, and then through the first opening 311 and the condenser. The condenser 22 is connected to the second opening 312, and then flows through the second opening 312 and the evaporator 21. At this time, the evaporator 21 is not on the air outlet path of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401, and the condenser 22 is not on the air outlet path of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402. Therefore, the air flowing out of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401 will not flow to the evaporator 21, and the air flowing out of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402 will not flow to the condenser 22.

[0091] Specifically, the air outlet of the fan 41 includes multiple outlets, which are arranged sequentially along the outer periphery of the fan 41.

[0092] Specifically, the fan 41 is a centrifugal fan; the shielding part 42 is a plate-shaped structure.

[0093] It should be noted that when the outer surface of the fan 41 can discharge air at 360 degrees, and both the first fan assembly 401 and the second fan assembly 402 are in a blocked state, some of the air flowing from the outlet of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401 may flow into the first air duct 511, and some of the air flowing from the outlet of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402 may flow into the second air duct 521. This does not affect the operation of the air conditioner in normal mode. When both the first fan assembly 401 and the second fan assembly 402 are in a yielding state, some of the air flowing from the outlet of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401 may flow towards the first inlet 141, and some of the air flowing from the outlet of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402 may flow towards the second inlet 142. This does not affect the operation of the air conditioner in fresh air mode. Figure 2 Each fan 41 in the middle can discharge air from both its upper and lower sides; such as Figure 3 Each fan 41 can discharge air from both its left and right sides.

[0094] In this embodiment, as Figures 7 to 20As shown, the fan assembly 40 also includes a support member 44, a sliding member 45, and a drive assembly. The support member 44 is fixedly connected to the partition member 30, and a slide rail 440 is provided on the support member 44. The sliding member 45 is fixedly connected to the fan 41, and the sliding member 45 cooperates with the slide rail 440 to be slidably disposed along the slide rail 440. The drive assembly is connected to the sliding member 45 to drive the sliding member 45 to slide. At least a portion of the slide rail 440 is an arc-shaped slide rail, so that as the sliding member 45 slides along the slide rail 440, it drives the fan 41 to rotate around the second axis between a first position and a second position. That is, the drive assembly drives the fan 41 to rotate around the second axis between the first position and the second position through the sliding member 45. When the fan 41 is in the first position, the fan assembly 40 is in a blocked state. When the fan 41 is in the second position, the fan assembly 40 is in a yielding state. The second axis is perpendicular to the central axis of the fan 41. When the fan 41 rotates between the first position and the second position, the position and orientation of the air inlet of the fan 41 change.

[0095] It should be noted that since the shielding part 42 is connected to the fan 41, the fan 41 drives the shielding part 42 to rotate synchronously.

[0096] Optionally, the fan 41 rotates 90 degrees from the first position to the second position.

[0097] In this embodiment, the slide 440 includes a straight slide section 441 and an arc-shaped slide section 442.

The transmission member 47 is connected to the first sliding part 451 to drive the first sliding part 451 to slide along the straight slide section 441; the transmission member 47 is connected to the support member 44 and is rotatably arranged relative to the support member 44 about the first axis, which coincides with the central axis of the arc-shaped slide section 442; the transmission member 47 is fixedly connected to the second sliding part 452 so that the transmission member 47 drives the second sliding part 452 to slide along the arc-shaped slide section 442; and then, under the combined action of the transmission member 47 driving the second sliding part 452 to slide and the second telescopic member 46 driving the first sliding part 451 to slide, the fan 41 rotates about the second axis between the first position and the second position, and the second axis is parallel to the first axis.

[0098] Specifically, the extension direction of the central axis of the curved slide section 442 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the straight slide section 441.

[0099] Specifically, the drive assembly also includes a first motor that is connected to the transmission member 47 so that the first motor drives the transmission member 47 to rotate; wherein the central axis of the output shaft of the first motor coincides with the first axis.

[0100] Specifically, the drive assembly also includes a second motor that is connected to the second telescopic member 46 in a transmission manner, the second motor being used to drive the second telescopic member 46 to extend and retract.

[0101] Optionally, the transmission member 47 is a strip structure; along the strip length direction of the transmission member 47, the transmission member 47 has a first end and a second end that are arranged opposite to each other; the first end of the transmission member 47 is connected to the support member 44, and the second end of the transmission member 47 is fixedly connected to the second sliding part 452.

[0102] Furthermore, the motor is connected to the first end of the transmission component 47.

[0103] Specifically, the straight slide section 441 is a straight slide groove, and the first sliding part 451 passes through the straight slide groove so that the first sliding part 451 is slidably disposed in the straight slide groove; the arc-shaped slide section 442 is an arc-shaped slide groove, and the second sliding part 452 passes through the arc-shaped slide groove so that the second sliding part 452 is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped slide groove.

When the fan 41 is in the second position, the first sliding part 451 is at the second end of the straight slide section 441, and the second sliding part 452 is at the second end of the arc-shaped slide section 442. When the fan 41 rotates from the first position to the second position, the second telescopic member 46 extends; when the fan 41 rotates from the second position to the first position, the second telescopic member 46 retracts.

[0105] In this embodiment, the support member 44 includes two support portions 443, namely a first support portion 4431 and a second support portion 4432. The two support portions 443 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the corresponding connecting opening 31, so that the two support portions 443 are disposed opposite to each other and spaced apart. Both support portions 443 are fixedly connected to the separator 30. The fan 41 is disposed between the two support portions 443. Both support portions 443 are in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the fan 41, so that the fan 41 can rotate relative to the two support portions 443 and the two support portions 443 support the fan 41.

[0106] Specifically, the distribution direction of the two support portions 443 of the first fan assembly 401 is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the first inlet 141 and the third inlet 143. The distribution direction of the two support portions 443 of the second fan assembly 402 is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the second inlet 142 and the fourth inlet 144.

[0107] Specifically, each support 443 is provided with a slide rail 440, that is, there are two slide rails 440; there are also two sliding members 45 and two drive components; both sliding members 45 are fixedly connected to the fan 41; the two sliding members 45 are arranged one-to-one with the two slide rails 440, and each sliding member 45 is slidably arranged along the corresponding slide rail 440; the two drive components are arranged one-to-one with the two sliding members 45, and each drive component is connected to the corresponding sliding member 45 to drive the corresponding sliding member 45 to slide; thereby, the two drive components jointly drive the fan 41 to rotate around the second axis between the first position and the second position through the two sliding members 45.

[0108] Specifically, there are two sliding members 45, namely two first sliding parts 451 and two second sliding parts 452; there are two driving components, namely two second telescopic members 46 and two transmission members 47; there are two slide tracks 440, namely two straight slide track sections 441 and two arc-shaped slide track sections 442; the extension directions of the two straight slide track sections 441 are parallel, and the central axes of the two arc-shaped slide track sections 442 are parallel or coincident; the two first sliding parts 451 are arranged one-to-one with the two straight slide track sections 441, and each first sliding part 451 is slidably arranged along the corresponding straight slide track section 441; the two second sliding parts 452 are arranged one-to-one with the two arc-shaped slide track sections 442, and each second sliding part 452 is slidably arranged along the corresponding arc-shaped slide track section 442; the two transmission members 47 are connected to the two second sliding parts 440. Each transmission member 452 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the other two transmission members 47 and the other two support members 443. Each transmission member 47 is connected to the corresponding support member 443, and each transmission member 47 is rotatably arranged relative to the corresponding support member 443 about the corresponding first axis. Each transmission member 47 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the other two first axes. The first axes of the two transmission members 47 are parallel or coincident. Each transmission member 47 is fixedly connected to the corresponding second sliding part 452. Each second telescopic member 46 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the other two first sliding parts 451, and each second telescopic member 46 is arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the other two support members 443. Each second telescopic member 46 is connected to the corresponding support member 443 and to the corresponding first sliding part 451 to drive the corresponding first sliding part 451 to slide.

[0109] Optionally, both support sections 443 are plate-shaped structures.

[0110] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 40 further includes a first telescopic member 43; along the telescopic direction of the first telescopic member 43, the first telescopic member 43 has a first end and a second end disposed opposite to each other; the first end of the first telescopic member 43 is fixedly connected to the fan 41, and the second end of the first telescopic member 43 is fixedly connected to the shielding part 42, so that the fan 41 and the shielding part 42 are telescopically disposed together. Specifically, when the fan 41 is in the first position, the first telescopic member 43 extends so that the shielding part 42 can shield the corresponding communicating opening 31; when the fan 41 is in the second position, the first telescopic member 43 retracts.

[0111] Specifically, the air inlet of the fan 41 is located on one axial end face of the fan 41, and the first end of the first telescopic member 43 is fixedly connected to the other axial end face of the fan 41.

[0112] Specifically, when the first fan assembly 401 is in a shielded state, the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401 is in a first position, and the first telescopic member 43 of the first fan assembly 401 extends so that the shielding part 42 of the first fan assembly 401 shields the first opening 311, and the air inlet of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401 is close to the first inlet 141, so that the air flowing out from the first inlet 141 can effectively enter the air inlet of the fan 41 of the first fan assembly 401. When the second fan assembly 402 is in the blocked state, the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402 is in the first position, and the first telescopic member 43 of the second fan assembly 402 extends so that the blocking part 42 of the second fan assembly 402 blocks the second opening 312, and the air inlet of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402 is close to the second inlet 142, so that the air flowing out from the second inlet 142 can effectively enter the air inlet of the fan 41 of the second fan assembly 402.

[0113] Specifically, the first telescopic member 43 and the shielding part 42 are both located between the two support parts 443.

[0114] Specifically, the extension direction of the first telescopic member 43 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the straight slide section 441, and the extension direction of the first telescopic member 43 is perpendicular to the extension direction of the second axis; that is, the extension direction of the first telescopic member 43 is parallel to the axis of the fan 41.

[0115] Specifically, during the process of the fan assembly 40 rotating from the blocked state to the yielding state, or from the yielding state to the blocked state, that is, when the fan 41 is rotating, the first telescopic member 43 is retracted to reduce the lever arm and avoid excessive torque, thereby facilitating the overall rotation of the fan assembly 40; retracting the first telescopic member 43 can also prevent the fan assembly 40 from being interfered with by other surrounding components when it is rotating.

[0116] Specifically, the first telescopic component 43 is a telescopic rod, and the telescopic rod is internally connected by pins.

[0117] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 40 further includes a connector 48, which is fixedly connected to the fan 41. The first end of the first telescopic member 43 is fixedly connected to the connector 48, so that the fan 41 is fixedly connected to the first end of the first telescopic member 43 through the connector 48, thereby enabling the connector 48 to provide fixed support for the fan 41. The sliding member 45 is fixedly disposed on the connector 48.

[0118] Specifically, the connector 48 is a plate-shaped structure, and its two plates are fixedly connected to the fan 41 and the first end of the first telescopic member 43, respectively. Optionally, the connector 48 and the first telescopic member 43 are fixed by welding.

[0119] Specifically, the air inlet of the fan 41 is located on one axial end face of the fan 41, and the connector 48 is fixedly connected to the other axial end face of the fan 41.

[0120] Specifically, the first sliding part 451 and the second sliding part 452 are both fixedly mounted on the connector 48.

[0121] Specifically, the connector 48 is located between the two support portions 443; along the distribution direction of the two support portions 443, two sliding members 45 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the connector 48.

[0122] Specifically, the connector 48 is fixed to the fan 41 by bolts.

[0123] In this embodiment, the fan assembly 40 also includes a guide ring 410, which is fixedly disposed at the air inlet of the fan 41.

[0124] Specifically, the guide ring 410 is coaxially arranged with the fan 41.

[0125] It should be noted that when the fan assembly 40 does not include the guide ring 410, the air inlet of the fan 41 is the air inlet of the fan assembly 40; when the fan assembly 40 includes the guide ring 410, along the axial direction of the fan 41, the opening on the side of the guide ring 410 away from the fan 41 forms the air inlet of the fan assembly 40. Figures 7 to 11 , Figure 13 , Figure 15 The air inlet of the fan assembly 40 is the third air inlet 493.

[0126] Optionally, both support portions 443 are in contact with the outer peripheral wall of the guide ring 410, so that the guide ring 410 can rotate relative to the two support portions 443 and the two support portions 443 support the guide ring 410.

[0127] In this embodiment, the air conditioner also includes two filters 60, which are arranged one-to-one with two connecting openings 31. Each filter 60 is located at the corresponding connecting opening 31 so that each filter 60 filters and removes impurities from the airflow flowing through the corresponding connecting opening 31.

[0128] Specifically, the two filters 60 are a first filter 61 and a second filter 62, respectively. The first filter 61 is located at the first opening 311, and the second filter 62 is located at the second opening 312.

[0129] When both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielding state, the air drawn in by the first fan assembly 401 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the first opening 311, where the first filter 61 filters and removes impurities. The filtered and impurity-removed air then flows to the condenser 22. When the air drawn in by the second fan assembly 402 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the second opening 312, the second filter 62 filters and removes impurities. The filtered and impurity-removed air then flows to the evaporator 21.

[0130] The air conditioner of this application achieves the purpose of fresh air delivery by changing the air path in different modes through structural changes of the fan assembly 40 itself, while retaining the original size of the cabinet air conditioner.

[0131] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0132] In the air conditioner provided by the present invention, the air conditioner includes a casing 10, two heat exchangers 20, a partition 30, and two fan assemblies 40. The two heat exchangers 20 are an evaporator 21 and a condenser 22, respectively. The partition 30 is disposed inside the casing 10 to divide the internal cavity of the casing 10 into two independent chambers 11, and the two heat exchangers 20 are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers 11. The partition 30 has two connecting openings 31 for connecting the two independent chambers 11. The two fan assemblies 40 are respectively disposed in the two independent chambers 11, and the fan assembly 40 in each independent chamber 11 corresponds to a heat exchanger 20. The two fan assemblies 40 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the two connecting openings 31. The component 40 is movably disposed relative to the separator 30 so that the fan assembly 40 has a shielded state and a yielded state; wherein, when both fan assemblies 40 are in the shielded state, each fan assembly 40 shields the corresponding communication opening 31, so that the air drawn in by each fan assembly 40 from the outside of the casing 10 flows out to the outside of the casing 10 after passing through the corresponding heat exchanger 20; when both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielded state, each fan assembly 40 moves away from the corresponding communication opening 31, so that the corresponding communication opening 31 is in the open state, and the air drawn in by each fan assembly 40 from the outside of the casing 10 flows out to the outside of the casing 10 after passing through the corresponding communication opening 31 and the heat exchanger 20 in another independent chamber 11 in sequence.

[0133] Specifically, the two independent chambers 11 are the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112, respectively. The evaporator 21 is disposed in the first chamber 111 and the condenser 22 is disposed in the second chamber 112. The two connecting openings 31 are the first opening 311 and the second opening 312, respectively. The two fan assemblies 40 are the first fan assembly 401 and the second fan assembly 402, respectively. The first fan assembly 401 is disposed in the first chamber 111 and the second fan assembly 402 is disposed in the second chamber 112. The first fan assembly 401 corresponds to the first opening 311 and the second fan assembly 402 corresponds to the second opening 312.

[0134] When both fan assemblies 40 are in a blocked state, the first fan assembly 401 is blocked at the first opening 311, and the second fan assembly 402 is blocked at the second opening 312. At this time, the air conditioner is in normal mode. The first chamber 111 and the second chamber 112 are not connected. The air drawn in by the first fan assembly 401 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the evaporator 21 and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10. The air drawn in by the second fan assembly 402 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the condenser 22 and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10.

[0135] When both fan assemblies 40 are in the yielding state, the first fan assembly 401 moves away from the first opening 311, and the second fan assembly 402 moves away from the second opening 312, so that both the first opening 311 and the second opening 312 are in the open state. At this time, the air conditioner is in the fresh air mode. At this time, the air drawn in by the first fan assembly 401 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the first opening 311 and the condenser 22 in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10. The air drawn in by the second fan assembly 402 from the outside of the casing 10 flows through the second opening 312 and the evaporator 21 in sequence and then flows out to the outside of the casing 10.

[0136] The air conditioner of this application can change its operating mode by altering the state of the fan assembly 40. It can achieve changes in the airflow path for different modes while maintaining the original size of the cabinet air conditioner, thus achieving the purpose of fresh air delivery. In other words, the air conditioner of this application can achieve different air outlet modes without increasing the original size of the cabinet air conditioner or significantly altering its overall structure, solving the problem of increased overall size in existing cabinet air conditioners designed to achieve multiple air outlet modes.
