Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of duct air conditioning technology, specifically to a duct air conditioning structure and control method. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, central air conditioning has seen a continuous increase in market share due to its advantages of aesthetically pleasing installation and small footprint, as the indoor units are ceiling-mounted (also known as ducted systems). However, most existing mainstream ducted systems have their air supply and return air installed on two perpendicular surfaces, which is neither aesthetically pleasing nor cost-effective. More and more users are demanding products where the supply and return air are in the same direction.
[0003] However, when using air conditioning for heating and defrosting, the evaporator side fan is often turned off to avoid direct cold air blowing, resulting in low heat exchange efficiency on the evaporator side, small system mass flow rate, and inability to defrost quickly, thus prolonging the defrosting time, affecting customer experience and energy consumption.
[0004] In addition, the outdoor unit of a multi-split system has a relatively high power consumption, requiring a large amount of energy to start up. However, the compressor and fan themselves have minimum frequency limitations, and the indoor unit's fan also has a minimum frequency limitation. This means that even after the operating temperature reaches the set point, the unit's output is still greater than the required cooling or heating capacity, forcing the unit to shut down, resulting in high energy consumption.
[0005] Therefore, existing technologies need further development. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned technical deficiencies and provide a duct air conditioner structure and control method to solve the technical problem of excessive energy consumption of duct air conditioners in related technologies.
[0007] To achieve the above technical objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A ducted air conditioning unit structure is provided, disposed within a space to be regulated in temperature. The ducted air conditioning unit structure includes: a first mounting plate connected to the top wall of the space to be regulated in temperature; an exhaust port provided on the first mounting plate; a second mounting plate connected to the side wall of the space to be regulated in temperature; the second mounting plate is connected to the first mounting plate so that the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate, the top wall, and the side wall form an accommodating space; a ducted air conditioning unit housing disposed within the accommodating space, the ducted air conditioning unit housing having an air outlet and an air inlet; the air outlet including a first air outlet opposite to the exhaust port and a second air outlet opposite to the second mounting plate; a ducted air conditioning unit assembly for allowing airflow entering the ducted air conditioning unit housing from the air inlet to pass through heat exchange and then exit from the first air outlet; and a damper component for guiding airflow within the ducted air conditioning unit housing so that at least a portion of the airflow within the ducted air conditioning unit housing exits from the second air outlet, passes through the obstruction of the second mounting plate, and then enters the ducted air conditioning unit housing from the air inlet.
[0008] Furthermore, the duct unit housing includes: a first plate, which is disposed opposite to a first mounting plate, and a first air outlet is disposed on the first plate; a second plate, which is disposed opposite to a second mounting plate, and a second air outlet is disposed on the second plate; a third plate, which is disposed opposite to a side wall; and a fourth plate, which is disposed opposite to a top wall; wherein the first plate, the second plate, the third plate, and the fourth plate are interconnected; and air inlets are provided on both the third plate and the fourth plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the first plate is spaced apart from the first mounting plate to form a first air inlet channel between the first plate and the first mounting plate; and / or, the second plate is spaced apart from the second mounting plate to form a second air inlet channel between the second plate and the second mounting plate; and / or, the third plate is spaced apart from the side wall to form a third air inlet channel between the third plate and the side wall; and / or, the fourth plate is spaced apart from the top wall to form a fourth air inlet channel between the fourth plate and the top wall.

[0011] Furthermore, the volute component includes: a first volute connected to a first plate; a second volute connected to a second plate; a third volute connected to both the first and second plates; a first airflow channel located between the first and third volutes; a second airflow channel located between the second and third volutes; and a damper component rotatably connected to the third volute.
[0012] Furthermore, the angle of the damper component relative to the horizontal direction is adjustable, and the damper component has a defrosting mode that abuts against the first volute and an air outlet mode that abuts against the second volute; when the damper component is in the defrosting mode, the damper component closes the first airflow channel, and when the damper component is in the air outlet mode, the damper component closes the second airflow channel.
[0013] Furthermore, the duct unit structure also includes a first heat exchange component and a second heat exchange component. One end of the second heat exchange component abuts against the first heat exchange component, and the other end of the second heat exchange component is spaced apart from the first heat exchange component to form an air inlet channel between the first heat exchange component and the second heat exchange component. The air inlet channel is connected to the air inlet of the cross-flow fan blade.
[0014] Furthermore, the first mounting plate is provided with an air inlet grille, which has air inlets for airflow in the space to be regulated to enter the accommodating space through the air inlet grille; wherein, on the side of the first mounting plate close to the space to be regulated, the area of the air inlet is larger than the area of the air outlet.
[0015] The control method of this embodiment is applicable to the above-mentioned duct air conditioner structure. The control method includes: setting a preset temperature in the space to be adjusted; when the temperature in the space to be adjusted reaches the preset temperature, controlling the movement of the air valve component of the duct air conditioner structure, so that the air valve component guides a part of the airflow in the duct air conditioner housing to be discharged from the exhaust port, and the air valve component guides another part of the airflow in the duct air conditioner housing to be discharged from the second air outlet, and then enters the duct air conditioner housing from the air inlet.
[0016] Furthermore, the control method also includes: setting a defrosting mode in the duct unit structure; when the duct unit structure is in defrosting mode, controlling the movement of the air valve component, so that the air valve component guides all the airflow in the duct unit housing to be discharged from the second air outlet and then enter the duct unit housing from the air inlet.

[0033] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0034] See Figures 1 to 10According to an embodiment of the present invention, a ducted air conditioner structure is provided, which is disposed within a temperature-adjustable space 10. The ducted air conditioner structure includes: a first mounting plate 1, which is connected to the top wall 101 of the temperature-adjustable space 10; an exhaust port 11 is provided on the first mounting plate 1; a second mounting plate 2, which is connected to the side wall 102 of the temperature-adjustable space 10; the second mounting plate 2 is connected to the first mounting plate 1, so that the first mounting plate 1, the second mounting plate 2, the top wall 101, and the side wall 102 form a receiving space 103; and a ducted air conditioner housing 3, which is disposed within the receiving space 103, and the ducted air conditioner housing 3 is provided with... It is provided with an air outlet 31 and an air inlet 32; the air outlet 31 includes a first air outlet 311 disposed opposite to the exhaust outlet 11 and a second air outlet 312 disposed opposite to the second mounting plate 2; a duct unit assembly 8, which is used to allow the airflow entering the duct unit housing 3 from the air inlet 32 to be discharged from the first air outlet 311 after heat exchange; and a damper component 5, which is used to guide the airflow in the duct unit housing 3 so that at least part of the airflow in the duct unit housing 3 is discharged from the second air outlet 312, passes through the obstruction of the second mounting plate 2, and enters the duct unit housing 3 from the air inlet 32.
[0035] With the above settings, when the unit approaches the temperature point, it will reduce the compressor and fan frequency to minimize the unit's output load. However, if the output is still greater than the required cooling or heating capacity, the unit will have to shut down. At this time, by setting the air valve component 5, the airflow is guided, allowing some air to be discharged from the second air outlet 312, blocked by the second mounting plate 2, and then enter the duct unit housing 3 from the air inlet 32. This allows the airflow to circulate within the housing space, improving the unit's cooling or heating efficiency for indoor air, thereby extending the unit's standby time, reducing the number of times it is turned on and off, reducing the unit's energy consumption, and solving the technical problem of excessive energy consumption of duct units.
[0036] See Figure 1 In the duct air conditioner structure of this embodiment, the duct air conditioner housing 3 includes a first plate 33, which is disposed opposite to the first mounting plate 1, and a first air outlet 311 is disposed on the first plate 33; a second plate 34, which is disposed opposite to the second mounting plate 2, and a second air outlet 312 is disposed on the second plate 34; a third plate 35, which is disposed opposite to the side wall 102; and a fourth plate 36, which is disposed opposite to the top wall 101. The first plate 33, the second plate 34, the third plate 35, and the fourth plate 36 are interconnected. Both the third plate 35 and the fourth plate 36 are provided with air inlets 32.
[0037] In the structure of the duct unit in this embodiment, see Figure 1The first plate 33 is spaced apart from the first mounting plate 1 to form a first air inlet channel 331 between the first plate 33 and the first mounting plate 1; and / or, the second plate 34 is spaced apart from the second mounting plate 2 to form a second air inlet channel 341 between the second plate 34 and the second mounting plate 2; and / or, the third plate 35 is spaced apart from the side wall 102 to form a third air inlet channel 351 between the third plate 35 and the side wall 102; and / or, the fourth plate 36 is spaced apart from the top wall 101 to form a fourth air inlet channel 361 between the fourth plate 36 and the top wall 101.
[0038] Specifically, the first plate 33 is spaced apart from the first mounting plate 1 to form a first air inlet channel 331 between the first plate 33 and the first mounting plate 1; the second plate 34 is spaced apart from the second mounting plate 2 to form a second air inlet channel 341 between the second plate 34 and the second mounting plate 2; the third plate 35 is spaced apart from the side wall 102 to form a third air inlet channel 351 between the third plate 35 and the side wall 102; and the fourth plate 36 is spaced apart from the top wall 101 to form a fourth air inlet channel 361 between the fourth plate 36 and the top wall 101. This facilitates the flow of air within the accommodating space 103.
[0039] In the structure of the duct unit in this embodiment, see Figure 7 The duct unit assembly 8 further includes: a volute component 4 disposed within the duct unit housing 3, the volute component 4 having an airflow channel 41, the airflow channel 41 including a first airflow channel 411 communicating with a first air outlet 311 and a second airflow channel 412 communicating with a second air outlet 312; and a cross-flow fan blade 7 disposed within the duct unit housing 3, the cross-flow fan blade 7 being used to blow airflow into the airflow channel 41.
[0040] See Figure 7 In the duct air conditioner structure of this embodiment, the volute component 4 includes: a first volute 401 connected to the first plate 33; a second volute 402 connected to the second plate 34; and a third volute 403 connected to both the first plate 33 and the second plate 34. A first airflow channel 411 is located between the first volute 401 and the third volute 403, and a second airflow channel 412 is located between the second volute 402 and the third volute 403. The air valve component 5 is rotatably connected to the third volute 403. Thus, by rotating the third volute 403, the flow rate of the airflow passing through the first air outlet 311 and the second air outlet 312 can be easily adjusted.
[0041] See Figure 7In the duct air conditioner structure of this embodiment, the air valve component 5 is set at an adjustable angle relative to the horizontal direction. The air valve component 5 has a defrosting mode that abuts against the first volute 401 and an air outlet mode that abuts against the second volute 402. When the air valve component 5 is in the defrosting mode, the air valve component 5 closes the first airflow channel 411. When the air valve component 5 is in the air outlet mode, the air valve component 5 closes the second airflow channel 412.
[0042] Specifically, by controlling the air valve component 5 to abut against the volute component 4, the airflow channel is sealed, thereby enriching the functions of the air conditioner. The above setup is simple in structure and easy to implement.
[0043] In the structure of the duct unit in this embodiment, see Figure 7 The ducted air conditioner structure also includes a first heat exchange component 61 and a second heat exchange component 62. One end of the second heat exchange component 62 abuts against the first heat exchange component 61, and the other end of the second heat exchange component 62 is spaced apart from the first heat exchange component 61 to form an air inlet channel 63 between the first heat exchange component 61 and the second heat exchange component 62. The air inlet channel 63 is connected to the air inlet of the cross-flow fan 7. In this way, the airflow within the ducted air conditioner structure can more easily absorb heat and then distribute it to the air outlet 31.
[0044] In the ducted air conditioner structure of this embodiment, an air inlet grille 12 is provided on the first mounting plate 1. The air inlet grille 12 has an air inlet hole 121 through which airflow from the temperature-controlled space 10 enters the receiving space 103. On the side of the first mounting plate 1 closest to the temperature-controlled space 10, the area of the air inlet hole 121 is larger than the area of the air outlet 31. This ensures smooth airflow in the ducted air conditioner structure.
[0045] The control method of this embodiment is applicable to the above-mentioned duct air conditioner structure. The control method includes: setting a preset temperature in the temperature-adjustable space 10; when the temperature in the temperature-adjustable space 10 reaches the preset temperature, controlling the movement of the air valve component 5 of the duct air conditioner structure, so that the air valve component 5 guides a part of the airflow in the duct air conditioner housing 3 to be discharged from the exhaust port 11, and then guides another part of the airflow in the duct air conditioner housing 3 to be discharged from the second air outlet 312 and then enters the duct air conditioner housing 3 from the air inlet 32.
[0046] In the control method of this embodiment, the control method further includes: setting a defrosting mode in the duct machine structure; when the duct machine structure is in the defrosting mode, controlling the movement of the air valve component 5, so that the air valve component 5 guides all the airflow in the duct machine housing 3 to be discharged from the second air outlet 312 and then enter the duct machine housing 3 from the air inlet 32.
[0047] The structure and control method of the duct air handling unit of the present invention are described as follows:
[0048] The unit described in this invention includes materials such as a heat exchanger, a water receiving pan, a controller, a volute component 4, a cross-flow fan blade 7, a motor, and a damper component 5.
[0049] Figures 1 to 4 This is a schematic diagram of the airflow distribution when the unit uses ceiling-mounted return air. The unit returns air through the portion of the air inlet grille 12 other than the air outlet 31, and the area of the air inlet grille 12 installed in the project is larger than the area of the outlet air.
[0050] The duct air conditioner uses cross-flow fan blades 7 and adopts an intake heat exchange structure. Under the action of cross-flow fan blades 7, air enters the duct air conditioner housing 3 from the air inlet 32, undergoes heat exchange through the heat exchanger, and then passes through the cross-flow fan blades 7 before being blown out to the air outlet 31.
[0051] By using a stepper motor to drive the air valve component 5 to rotate around the rotating shaft, the air valve component 5 changes the air duct during the rotation process.
[0052] The first state is the air outlet mode during normal use, such as... Figure 4 .
[0053] The second state is the air outlet state when the unit reaches the temperature point and is in standby mode, such as... Figure 3 .
[0054] The third state is the defrosting airflow mode, such as... Figure 2 .
[0055] After the unit is powered on, the air valve component 5 is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the unit's air outlet direction is horizontal, and the unit is normally heating or cooling the indoor air.
[0056] As the unit approaches its temperature target, it will reduce the compressor and fan frequencies to minimize the unit's output load. However, if the output still exceeds the required cooling or heating capacity, the unit will have to shut down. At this point, the control valve component 5 will adjust accordingly. Figure 3 As shown, this allows a portion of the air to circulate within the containment space, similar to a return air short circuit. This improves the unit's cooling or heating efficiency, thereby extending standby time, reducing the number of start-ups and shutdowns, and lowering energy consumption. Taking cooling as an example, when the unit approaches a specific temperature point, the air valve component 5 is controlled to... Figure 3 The location shown prevents most of the air being cooled by the unit from directly contributing to the work.
[0057] When the unit enters defrosting mode, the air valve component 5 is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the unit's fan can still operate at this location. Compared to the current control method of shutting off the indoor unit's fan during defrosting, this greatly improves the evaporation efficiency and heat exchange efficiency on the evaporator side, thereby increasing the system's flow rate during defrosting. This allows for the instantaneous release of a large amount of heat on the outdoor unit side, rapidly melting the frost layer, shortening defrosting time, improving customer experience, and reducing energy consumption. At this time, due to the damper obstruction, the indoor unit prioritizes heat extraction within its designated space. This achieves rapid defrosting without causing the indoor air temperature to drop too quickly (in terms of defrosting temperature reduction, this solution is comparable to the indoor temperature reduction rate of traditional defrosting solutions).
