Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and more particularly to a wall-mounted air conditioner. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the improvement of people's living standards, health has become an increasingly important factor in the home environment. In the home appliance market, more and more appliances are being developed around the theme of "health." Formaldehyde has become the number one killer affecting home health, and more and more users are seeking reliable and effective formaldehyde removal methods. Formaldehyde, a Group 1 carcinogen, is widely present in furniture, wall coverings, flooring, and other home decoration materials. Its release is long-lasting and slow; some well-encapsulated home decoration materials can release formaldehyde for nearly 10 years. Currently, there is no mature technology that can completely remove formaldehyde from home decoration materials in a short period of time.

[0003] An air conditioner, also known as an air conditioner, is a device that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow within a building or structure. Air conditioners typically consist of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. Most air conditioners do not have the function of removing indoor formaldehyde, so formaldehyde continues to harm human health. Air conditioners that do have formaldehyde removal functions use activated carbon or other adsorbent materials to adsorb formaldehyde and reduce its concentration in indoor air. However, even with this method, the formaldehyde is adsorbed inside the air conditioner and remains indoors, thus continuing to harm human health. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention at least partially solves one of the technical problems in the related art.

[0005] Therefore, this application aims to provide a wall-mounted air conditioner that obtains the number and location of furniture, calculates the air supply path, controls the air guide plate to make the air conditioner air sweep along the air supply path, so that the airflow blows to each piece of furniture. When the airflow blows over the furniture, the formaldehyde in the furniture is released, which can be easily removed by means of ventilation or adsorption, thereby improving the formaldehyde removal effect.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a wall-mounted air conditioner, comprising:

[0007] The indoor unit is equipped with an air conditioning outlet;

[0008] An air conditioning fan is installed inside the indoor unit and is used to deliver air conditioning air to the room through the air conditioning outlet.

[0009] An indoor heat exchanger is installed inside the indoor unit. The refrigerant flowing inside the indoor heat exchanger exchanges heat with the air to form a heating cycle or a cooling cycle, thereby increasing or decreasing the temperature of the air conditioning air output to the room.

[0010] An air guide plate is provided at the air conditioner outlet, and the air guide plate is flipped to adjust the direction of the air conditioning air passing through the air conditioner outlet.

[0011] The controller is configured to: acquire the number and location of furniture in the room; number each piece of furniture clockwise or counterclockwise, with the wall-mounted air conditioner as the origin, and the lines connecting any two adjacent numbers do not intersect; connect the numbers in ascending order to form an air supply path; and control the movement of the air guide plate to make the airflow of the air conditioner move along the air supply path and circulate.

[0012] The technical solution involves obtaining the number and location of furniture, calculating the air supply path, and controlling the air guide plate to make the air conditioner air sweep along the air supply path so that the airflow blows towards each piece of furniture. As the airflow passes over the furniture, it causes the formaldehyde in the furniture to be released, which can then be removed by means of ventilation or adsorption, thus improving the formaldehyde removal effect.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the length direction of the indoor unit is defined as a first direction; a second direction is defined as horizontal and perpendicular to the first direction; the length of the top surface of the furniture along the first direction is defined as a first distance; and the width of the air conditioner's output along the first direction is defined as a second distance.

[0014] The controller is configured such that if the first distance of the furniture is less than the second distance, the air supply path on the furniture is set along the second direction of the furniture.

[0015] In the technical solution, if the first distance is less than the second distance, it means that the air conditioner can completely cover the furniture. Therefore, the air conditioner sweeps the furniture along the second direction, driving the airflow to accelerate the release of formaldehyde from the furniture.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is configured to: if the first distance of the furniture is greater than the second distance, divide the upper surface of the furniture into multiple blocks along a first direction; extend an air supply path along a second direction of the blocks, and after reaching the end of the corresponding block, move to the next block adjacent to the block, repeating the above steps until the air supply path extends over all the blocks.

[0017] In the technical solution, if the first distance is greater than the second distance, it means that the air conditioner cannot completely cover the furniture. Therefore, the furniture needs to be swept multiple times. The upper surface of the furniture is divided into multiple sections, and each section is swept sequentially to achieve comprehensive airflow and accelerate the release of formaldehyde from the furniture.

[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is configured to: if there are multiple obtained air supply paths, select the air supply path with the shortest total length as the optimal path, and control the air guide plate to move so that the air conditioning air moves and circulates along the optimal path.

[0019] In the technical solution, multiple air supply paths may be planned during the path calculation process. At this time, the air supply path with the shortest total length is selected as the optimal path, which achieves the same effect with the least amount of time and the highest efficiency.

[0020] In some embodiments of this application, the length of each block along a first direction is a third distance, and the second distance is the same as the third distance.

[0021] In the technical solution, the width of each block along the first direction is the same as the width of the air conditioner's air output. Therefore, when the air conditioner blows air through each block, it can completely cover the block, improving airflow and accelerating the release of formaldehyde from the furniture.

[0022] In some embodiments of this application, a fresh air fan is provided inside the indoor unit;

[0023] The controller is configured to: after the air guide plate moves to make the airflow of the air conditioner move along the air supply path and circulate for a preset time, control the fresh air fan to turn on.

[0024] In this technical solution, after the air conditioner air circulates along the planned path for a preset time, formaldehyde from the furniture is released, resulting in a high indoor formaldehyde content. Therefore, the fresh air fan is activated, drawing in fresh outdoor air and using air pressure to expel the formaldehyde-containing air from the room, thus removing the formaldehyde. This method is convenient and cost-effective.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is configured to: control the indoor heat exchanger to be used as a condenser before controlling the movement of the air guide plate to move the airflow direction of the air conditioning air along the air supply path and circulate.

[0026] In the technical solution, the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser to heat the room, increase the indoor temperature, and accelerate the formaldehyde release rate.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is configured to control the indoor heat exchanger to bring the indoor temperature to a preset temperature value.

[0028] In some embodiments of this application, the indoor unit is equipped with a humidifier, and the controller is configured to: control the humidifier to start before controlling the air guide plate to move so that the air conditioning air moves along the air supply path and circulates.

[0029] In the technical solution, the indoor humidity is increased by activating a humidifier, thereby accelerating the rate of formaldehyde release.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the controller is configured to control the humidifier to bring the indoor humidity to a preset humidity value.

[0031] Additional aspects and advantages of the invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and in part will be obvious from the description, or may be learned by practice of the invention. Attached Figure Description

[0046] The present invention will now be described in detail through exemplary embodiments. However, it should be understood that, without further description, elements, structures, and features in one embodiment may be advantageously incorporated into other embodiments.

[0047] In this application, the wall-mounted air conditioner performs a refrigeration cycle in its indoor unit using a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and indoor heat exchanger. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation, supplying refrigerant to conditioned and heat-exchanged air. The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas at a low temperature and low pressure, discharging it at a high temperature and high pressure. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, releasing heat to the surrounding environment through the condensation process. The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The indoor heat exchanger evaporates the refrigerant that has expanded in the expansion valve, returning the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The indoor heat exchanger achieves a cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout the cycle, the indoor unit can regulate the temperature of the indoor space. The outdoor unit of an air conditioner indoor unit refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle that includes the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor unit of an air conditioner indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve can be provided in either the indoor or outdoor unit. The indoor and outdoor heat exchangers function as either condensers or indoor heat exchangers. When the indoor heat exchanger functions as a condenser, the air conditioner indoor unit acts as a heater in heating mode; when it functions as an indoor heat exchanger, the air conditioner indoor unit acts as a cooler in cooling mode.

[0048] In the following, embodiments of this application will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0049] As attached Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in an illustrative embodiment of the wall-mounted air conditioner of the present invention, the wall-mounted air conditioner includes:

[0050] The system includes an indoor unit 100, an air conditioning fan, an indoor heat exchanger, an air guide plate, and a controller. The indoor unit 100 has an air conditioning outlet 200. The air conditioning fan is located inside the indoor unit 100 and is used to deliver air conditioning air to the room through the air conditioning outlet 200. The indoor heat exchanger is located inside the indoor unit 100, where the refrigerant flowing inside exchanges heat with the air to form a heating or cooling cycle, thereby increasing or decreasing the temperature of the air conditioning air output to the room. The air guide plate is located at the air conditioning outlet 200 and can be rotated to adjust the direction of the air conditioning air passing through the air conditioning outlet 200.

[0051] Please refer to Figure 6The controller is configured to: obtain the number and location of indoor furniture; number each piece of furniture clockwise or counterclockwise, with the wall-mounted air conditioner as the origin, and the lines connecting any two adjacent numbers do not intersect; connect the numbers in ascending order to form an air supply path; and control the movement of the air guide plate to make the air conditioning air move along the air supply path and circulate.

[0052] In existing technology, air conditioners remove formaldehyde using a filter module to adsorb formaldehyde in the room. However, formaldehyde is usually found in the paint or adhesives of furniture, and it is continuously released into the air. Therefore, adsorption via the filter module can only adsorb formaldehyde already present in the air, making it very inefficient. Furthermore, the adsorbed formaldehyde, while located within the air conditioner's filter module, remains indoors and is still harmful to human health.

[0053] The present application uses the above-mentioned solution to obtain the number and location of furniture by wall-mounted air conditioner, calculate the air supply path, control the air guide plate to make the air conditioner air sweep along the air supply path, so that the airflow blows to each piece of furniture. When the airflow blows over the furniture, the formaldehyde in the furniture is released, which can be easily removed by means of ventilation or adsorption, thereby improving the formaldehyde removal effect.

[0054] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 is higher than each piece of furniture, or higher than most pieces of furniture, and the air conditioning air output through the air conditioning outlet 200 blows obliquely downwards toward each piece of furniture.

[0055] In daily life, furniture may be placed randomly and haphazardly. Therefore, in some embodiments, when numbering furniture and planning routes, while ensuring clockwise or counterclockwise numbering, the next numbered piece of furniture is the one closest to the already numbered piece of furniture. For example, if there are furniture A, B, and C, and taking clockwise numbering as an example, A is the first piece of furniture. Since C is closer to A than B is to A, the numbering order would be A, C, B.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 7 In some embodiments, the optimal solution is the one with the shortest total route distance among the planning numbers and routes.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3In some embodiments, the length direction of the indoor unit 100 is defined as a first direction; a second direction is provided, which is horizontal and perpendicular to the first direction; the length of the top surface of the furniture along the first direction is defined as a first distance, and the width of the air conditioner's output along the first direction is defined as a second distance; the controller is configured such that if the first distance of the furniture is less than the second distance, the air supply path on the furniture is set along the second direction of the furniture. If the first distance is less than the second distance, it means that the air conditioner can completely cover the furniture, so the air conditioner sweeps the furniture along the second direction, driving airflow to accelerate the release of formaldehyde from the furniture. The controller is also configured to acquire the area of ​​the top surface of each piece of furniture, or acquire the first distance between the top surfaces of each piece of furniture.

[0058] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 is mounted on an indoor wall, and the air conditioning outlet 200 is located on the side of the indoor unit 100 away from the wall. The length direction of the air conditioning outlet 200 is the same as the length direction of the indoor unit 100, so the second distance is also the width of the air conditioning airflow.

[0059] In some embodiments, the second distance is a fixed value, which is the average width of the air conditioning air blown out of the air conditioning outlet 200.

[0060] In some embodiments, because the intensity of the air conditioning air decreases continuously after it is output, the second distance is the width of the air conditioning air at a preset intensity after it is output. The preset intensity is set according to different models or manually by the user. Under normal circumstances, at this preset intensity, the air conditioning air can cover all the furniture in the room.

[0061] In some embodiments, after the air conditioning air is output, the width of the air conditioning air along the first direction at a specified distance is the second distance. The specified distance is the distance from a point along the upward direction of the air conditioning air to the air outlet 200. This specified distance is set according to different models or manually by the user. Typically, within this specified distance, the air conditioning air can cover all the furniture in the room.

[0062] In some embodiments, the value of the second distance is dynamic. Because the air conditioning air output from the air conditioner outlet 200 is typically distributed in a fan shape, the second distance varies depending on the distance of the air conditioning air from the outlet 200. If the second distance were a fixed value, the actual width of the air conditioning air might be smaller than the second distance when blowing towards furniture closer to the air conditioner, and larger than the second distance when blowing towards furniture farther away. Therefore, the width of the air conditioning air along the first direction is set as the second distance when it blows onto each piece of furniture. Because the distance between the furniture and the air conditioner varies, the air conditioning air has a corresponding second distance for each piece of furniture. This ensures that the calculated second distance is accurate with the first distance, guaranteeing that the actual width of the air conditioning air blowing onto the furniture is the corresponding second distance.

[0063] In some embodiments, the length of each block along the first direction is a third distance, and the second distance is the same as the third distance. The width of each block along the first direction is the same as the width of the air conditioner's air output, so that when the air conditioner sweeps across each block, it can completely cover the block, improving airflow and accelerating the release of formaldehyde from the furniture. If the second distance is dynamic as described above, the third distance is also dynamic, and the third distance is the same as the corresponding second distance. This ensures that when the air conditioner sweeps across the furniture, it can completely cover the furniture.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the controller is configured to: if a first distance from the furniture is greater than a second distance, divide the upper surface of the furniture into multiple blocks along a first direction; extend an air supply path along the second direction of the blocks, and after reaching the end of the corresponding block, move to the next block adjacent to that block, repeating the above steps until the air supply path extends over all blocks. If the first distance is greater than the second distance, it means that the air conditioning cannot completely cover the furniture. Therefore, it is necessary to perform multiple air sweeps on the furniture, dividing the upper surface of the furniture into multiple blocks and then sweeping each block sequentially to achieve comprehensive air sweeping of the furniture, thereby driving airflow and accelerating the release of formaldehyde from the furniture.

[0065] In some embodiments, taking a piece of furniture as an example, if the first distance on the top surface of the furniture is greater than the second distance, the upper surface of the furniture is divided into multiple blocks. When planning the air supply path, the air conditioning air sweeps along the direction of movement to the nearest block, and then sweeps the air to the next adjacent block in sequence. Here, the direction of movement of the air conditioning air means the direction of movement of the air conditioning air from the previous numbered piece of furniture to the next numbered piece of furniture. Assuming the furniture is number two, its upper surface is divided into blocks A, B, and C arranged in sequence, where block A is closest to number 1 and block C is closest to number 3. Therefore, the air supply path is planned from A to B to C.

[0066] Furthermore, if the furniture is number one, then the last furniture with that number is the previous number of furniture number one.

[0067] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8In some embodiments, if the first distance of the furniture is greater than the second distance, the air supply path is S-shaped when planning the air supply path through each block. Assume the upper surface of the furniture is divided into blocks A, B, and C arranged sequentially, with the first end and the second end of each block along a second direction. When planning the air supply path, a first line segment is planned from the first end to the second end in block A; a second line segment is planned from the second end of block A along the first direction to the second end of block B; a third line segment is planned from the second end of block B along the second direction to the first end of block B; a fourth line segment is planned from the first end of block B along the first direction to the first end of block C; and a fifth line segment is planned from the first end of block C along the second direction to the second end of block C. The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth line segments are sequentially connected to form the air supply path on the furniture.

[0068] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to: if multiple air supply paths are obtained, select the air supply path with the shortest total length as the optimal path, and control the air guide vane to move so that the air conditioning air moves and circulates along the optimal path. During the path calculation process, multiple air supply paths may be planned. In this case, selecting the air supply path with the shortest total length as the optimal path results in the least amount of time and the highest efficiency for the same effect.

[0069] In some embodiments, if there are multiple air supply paths with the same total length, then any one of the air supply paths is randomly selected as the optimal path.

[0070] In some embodiments, if there is only one air supply path, then that air supply path is the optimal path.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 7 to 8 In some embodiments, a fresh air fan is installed inside the indoor unit 100; the controller is configured to: move the air guide plate to direct the airflow along the air supply path and circulate it for a preset time; then control the fresh air fan to turn on. After the airflow circulates along the planned path for the preset time, formaldehyde from the furniture is released, resulting in a high indoor formaldehyde content. Therefore, the fresh air fan is activated, drawing fresh outdoor air into the room. Through air pressure, the formaldehyde-containing air is expelled from the room, thus removing the formaldehyde. This method is convenient to operate and saves costs.

[0072] In some embodiments, the preset time is based on a user preset or an internal preset by the air conditioner.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10In some embodiments, the controller is configured to: control the movement of the air deflector to direct the airflow along the supply path and circulate it before controlling the indoor heat exchanger to function as a condenser. Formaldehyde is characterized by a faster release rate at higher temperatures and humidity levels; therefore, using the indoor heat exchanger as a condenser to heat the room increases the indoor temperature and accelerates the formaldehyde release rate.

[0074] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to control the indoor heat exchanger to bring the indoor temperature to a preset temperature value. The preset temperature value is selected based on user needs or a controller preset value. A preferred preset temperature value is 28°C.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, an indoor unit 100 is equipped with a humidifier, and the controller is configured to activate the humidifier before controlling the movement of the air guide plate to direct the airflow along the air supply path and circulate it. Formaldehyde is characterized by a faster release rate at higher temperatures and humidity levels; therefore, activating the humidifier increases indoor humidity to accelerate the formaldehyde release rate.

[0076] In some embodiments, the controller is configured to control the humidifier to bring the indoor humidity to a preset humidity value. The preset humidity value is selected based on user needs or a controller preset value. Preferably, the preset humidity value is 80%.

[0077] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 100 is provided with a temperature sensor and a humidity sensor, which are used to detect indoor temperature and indoor humidity values, respectively.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments, the controller is configured to, upon entering the formaldehyde removal mode, acquire the quantity and location of indoor furniture and number the furniture; number each piece of furniture clockwise or counterclockwise, with the wall-mounted air conditioner as the origin, ensuring that the lines connecting any two adjacent numbers do not intersect; connect the numbers sequentially from smallest to largest to form an air supply path; if there are multiple air supply paths, select the shortest path as the optimal path; if the total length of multiple air supply paths is the same, select any one of them as the optimal path; control the movement of the air guide plate to direct the airflow of the air conditioner along the optimal path and circulate it; simultaneously, temperature and humidity sensors detect indoor temperature and humidity values; if the indoor temperature is lower than a preset temperature value, control the indoor heat exchanger to act as an evaporator to raise the indoor temperature to the preset temperature value; if the indoor humidity is lower than a preset humidity value, control the indoor humidifier to start and raise the indoor humidity to the preset humidity value; after a preset time has elapsed since entering the formaldehyde removal mode, control the fresh air fan to start.

[0079] In some embodiments, the air guide plate is divided into a longitudinal air guide plate and a transverse air guide plate. Two driving components are provided inside the indoor unit 100, which respectively drive the longitudinal air guide plate and the transverse air guide plate. The controller is configured to, after entering the formaldehyde removal mode and forming an air supply path, control the operation of the two driving components to respectively drive the longitudinal air guide plate and the transverse air guide plate to rotate, so that the air conditioning air moves and circulates along the air supply path.

[0080] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
