Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to an air conditioner with hot air mixing function and a mixing method. Background Technology

[0002] Air conditioning refers to equipment that uses artificial means to regulate and control parameters such as temperature, humidity, and airflow within a building or structure. Air conditioning provides coolness and warmth and is an indispensable part of modern life. The main types of air conditioners include: floor-standing air conditioners, wall-mounted air conditioners, water-cooled air conditioners, window air conditioners (half indoor, half outdoor), central air conditioning, and dual-split air conditioners (one outdoor unit controls two indoor units simultaneously). The structure of an air conditioner generally includes: a compressor, condenser, evaporator, four-way valve, one-way valve, and capillary tube assembly.

[0003] Existing air conditioners, after prolonged use in heating mode, cause warm air to stagnate near the ceiling, resulting in uneven indoor temperature. This uneven temperature leads users to keep the air conditioner running, increasing energy consumption. In the authorized Chinese invention patent "Announcement No.: CN106482213B, Title: A Mixed-Flow Air Conditioner", the application describes a first heat exchange duct connected to a direct passage, configured to allow some of the air after heat exchange through the heat exchange device to flow through the first heat exchange duct to the air outlet, mix with the air from the direct passage, and then be blown into the ambient space in a first direction, thereby mitigating the outlet temperature of the mixed-flow air conditioner. However, this method involves mixing the hot and cold airflows inside the air conditioner before exporting them. Although the outlet temperature is mitigated, the airflow is difficult to circulate within the room, causing warm air to stagnate near the ceiling, resulting in uneven indoor air temperature. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the defects of poor hot air mixing effect and uneven indoor temperature in the prior art, and to provide an air conditioner and mixing method with hot air mixing function.

[0030] In this technical solution, the second rotating component can drive the outer sleeve and the central shaft to rotate, thereby driving the first and second baffles to rotate.

[0038] Preferably, the dustproof structure further includes a second dustproof component, which includes a connecting column.

[0070] The present invention will be further illustrated by way of embodiments below, but the present invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein.

[0071] Figures 1 to 7 The diagram shown is a schematic representation of an embodiment of the air conditioner and mixing method with hot air mixing function of the present invention.

[0072] An air conditioner with hot air mixing function and a mixing method include an air conditioner body 1 and a mixing housing 2, wherein the mixing housing 2 is installed at the air outlet of the air conditioner body 1.

[0073] The mixing shell 2 is provided with a first baffle plate 3 and a second baffle plate 4, both of which can rotate along the inner wall of the mixing shell 2.

[0074] Adjustment component 5 is disposed inside the mixing housing 2, and the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 are both connected to the adjustment component 5. The adjustment component 5 is used to adjust the position of the first baffle plate 3 and adjust the tilt angle of the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4.

[0075] The side of the mixing housing 2 is provided with a first outlet 6 and a second outlet 7 respectively. The first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 are provided with adjustment ports 8. When the first outlet 6, the second outlet 7 and the adjustment ports 8 overlap, the air outlet of the air conditioning body 1 can be discharged.

[0076] An inlet is provided on the mixed flow housing 2 at a position away from the air outlet of the air conditioner body 1.

[0077] In this technical solution, the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4 are rotated by the adjustment component 5, thereby driving the corresponding adjustment port 8 to move. When the two adjustment ports 8 overlap with different parts of the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7, the air conditioner body 1 can complete the air outlet. The air conditioner body 1 can then outlet air through two outlets with different tilt angles, and the tilt angle of the outlet can be adjusted to adjust the air outlet direction. This allows the cold and warm air in the room to mix, avoiding the single air outlet of the air conditioner causing the warm air to flow directly to the ceiling, making the room more comfortable, thereby reducing the usage time of the air conditioner and reducing energy consumption.

[0078] Adjustment component 5 includes an outer sleeve 51 and a central shaft 52. The outer sleeve 51 is sleeved on the surface of the central shaft 52. The outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 can rotate respectively. The end faces of the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 are connected to the rotation mechanism.

[0079] Multiple first connecting plates 53 are connected to the surface of the outer sleeve 51, and the ends of the multiple first connecting plates 53 away from the outer sleeve 51 are connected to the inner side of the first baffle plate 3.

[0080] A plurality of second connecting plates 54 are connected to the surface of the central shaft 52, and the ends of the plurality of second connecting plates 54 away from the central shaft 52 are connected to the inner side of the second baffle plate 4.

[0081] The outer sleeve 51 has multiple preset openings, and the second connecting plate 54 is connected through the preset openings.

[0082] In this technical solution, the adjustment component 5 can drive the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4 to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding adjustment port 8 to move. When the two adjustment ports 8 overlap with different parts of the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7, the air conditioner body 1 can complete the air outlet, so that the air conditioner body 1 can outlet air from two outlets with different tilt angles.

[0083] The first rotating component 9 or the second rotating component 10 drives the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 to rotate, thereby driving the first connecting plate 53 and the second connecting plate 54 to rotate. At this time, the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 can be driven to rotate, thereby driving the corresponding adjustment port 8 to rotate. When the adjustment port 8 overlaps with the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7 at different positions, the air from the air conditioner body 1 is discharged from the overlapping part, so that the air conditioner body 1 can discharge air from two positions.

[0084] It is worth noting that since the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 can rotate, that is, the position of the adjustment port 8 is adjustable, the overlapping part of the adjustment port 8 with the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the air outlet direction of the air conditioner body 1, so that the indoor cold and warm air can be mixed, making the air conditioner more comfortable.

[0085] The rotating mechanism includes a first rotating component 9, which includes a first support plate 91. The first support plate 91 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing shell 2 and is connected through the surface of the outer sleeve 51. The other end of the outer sleeve 51 is connected to a plurality of fixed posts 92. The ends of the plurality of fixed posts 92 away from the outer sleeve 51 are connected to a transmission component 93. The transmission component 93 is connected to the output end of a rotating motor 94. The rotating motor 94 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing shell 2. The side of the transmission component 93 away from the rotating motor 94 is connected to a transmission shaft 95. One end of the transmission shaft 95 is connected to a central shaft 52.

[0086] The drive shaft 95 is connected through the second support plate 96, and the second support plate 96 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing shell 2;

[0087] The end of the central shaft 52 away from the drive shaft 95 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mixing housing 2.

[0088] In this technical solution, the first rotating component 9 can provide driving force for the adjusting component 5, which facilitates the adjustment of the angles of the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4.

[0089] When adjusting the air outlet angle of the air conditioner, the transmission assembly 93 drives the transmission shaft 95 and the fixed column 92 to rotate, thereby driving the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 to rotate in opposite directions, which in turn drives the first connecting plate 53 and the second connecting plate 54 to rotate, and in turn drives the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 to rotate, so that the rotation directions of the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 are opposite, that is, the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 can simultaneously open and close the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7.

[0090] The transmission assembly 93 includes an inner gear ring 931, a transmission gear 932, and a drive gear 933. The inner side of the inner gear ring 931 is meshed with the transmission gear 932, and one side of the transmission gear 932 is meshed with the drive gear 933.

[0091] One side of the drive gear 933 is connected to the output end of the rotating motor 94, and the other side of the drive gear 933 is connected to the transmission shaft 95;

[0092] One side of the internal gear ring 931 is connected to multiple fixed posts 92;

[0093] A rotating shaft 934 is fixedly connected to one side of the transmission gear 932, and the end of the rotating shaft 934 away from the transmission gear 932 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mixing housing 2.

[0094] A fixed ring plate 935 is provided on the outer side of the internal gear ring 931. The fixed ring plate 935 is connected to the inner wall of the mixing shell 2. A limit ring 936 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed ring plate 935. A limit groove is opened on the outer side of the internal gear ring 931. The limit ring 936 is slidably connected to the internal gear ring 931 through the limit groove. When the internal gear ring 931 rotates, the limit ring 936 can support and limit the rotation of the internal gear ring 931.

[0095] In this technical solution, the transmission component 93 enables a single rotating motor 94 to drive the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 to rotate in opposite directions, thus saving resources.

[0096] When adjusting the adjusting component 5, the rotating motor 94 drives the driving gear 933 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission gear 932 to rotate, and then drives the inner gear ring 931 to rotate. When the inner gear ring 931 rotates, it can drive the fixed column 92 to rotate, which in turn drives the outer sleeve 51 to rotate. When the driving gear 933 rotates, it can drive the transmission shaft 95 to rotate, which in turn drives the central shaft 52 to rotate. Since the driving gear 933 and the transmission gear 932 rotate in opposite directions, and the transmission gear 932 and the inner gear ring 931 rotate in the same direction, that is, the driving gear 933 and the inner gear ring 931 rotate in opposite directions, which means that the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 rotate in opposite directions.

[0097] A dustproof structure is connected to one side of the first shield 3 and the second shield 4. The dustproof structure moves with the first shield 3 and the second shield 4, retracts when the air conditioner body 1 is working, and covers the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7 when the air conditioner body 1 is not working.

[0098] In this technical solution, the dustproof structure can cover the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7 when the air conditioner body 1 is not working, to prevent dust from entering.

[0099] The dustproof structure includes a first dustproof component 11, which includes a first elastic dustproof belt 111, a second elastic dustproof belt 112, and two elastic strips 113. The first elastic dustproof belt 111 and the second elastic dustproof belt 112 are both disposed inside the mixing shell 2. One end of the first elastic dustproof belt 111 is connected to the inner wall of the mixing shell 2, and the other end of the first elastic dustproof belt 111 passes around the elastic strips 113 and is connected to the first baffle plate 3.

[0100] One end of the second elastic dustproof strip 112 is connected to the inner wall of the mixing shell 2, and the other end of the second elastic dustproof strip 112 passes around the elastic strip 113 and is connected to the second baffle plate 4.

[0101] In this technical solution, the first dustproof component 11 can cover the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7 to prevent dust from entering the air conditioner body 1 from the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7, thus preventing it from affecting the use of the air conditioner body 1.

[0102] When the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 rotate, they can drive one end of the first dustproof component 11 and the second dustproof component 12 to move. As the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 move, when the adjustment port 8 does not overlap with any position of the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7, it indicates that the air conditioner body 1 is not in use. At this time, the first dustproof component 11 and the second dustproof component 12 are respectively located at the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7, sealing the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7 to prevent external dust and other impurities from entering the air conditioner body 1 from the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7, thus preventing them from affecting the use of the air conditioner body 1.

[0103] Both elastic strips 113 are located inside the mixing shell 2, and both ends of the two elastic strips 113 are fixedly connected to fixing plates 114, which are connected to the inner wall of the mixing shell 2.

[0104] In this technical solution, the elastic strip 113 and the fixing plate 114 can store the first elastic dustproof strip 111 and the second elastic dustproof strip 112, preventing the accumulated first elastic dustproof strip 111 and the second elastic dustproof strip 112 from blocking the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7, thus preventing them from affecting the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0105] The mixing method includes the following steps:

[0106] S1. The first rotating component 9 or the second rotating component 10 drives the adjusting component 5 to rotate, thereby rotating the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4 using the adjusting component 5, thereby adjusting the tilt angle of the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4, that is, adjusting the included angle between the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4.

[0107] S2. When the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 rotate, they drive the corresponding adjustment port 8 to rotate, so that the adjustment port 8 overlaps with the different positions of the first outlet port 6 and the second outlet port 7, thereby adjusting the air outlet angle of the air conditioner body 1. Through the two different air outlet directions, the indoor cold and warm air are mixed.

[0108] S3. After the air conditioner body 1 is used up, the first shield 3 and the second shield 4 return to their initial positions. When the first shield 3 and the second shield 4 move, they can drive the first dustproof component 11 or the second dustproof component 12 to move, and use the first dustproof component 11 or the second dustproof component 12 to cover the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7.

[0109] As a second embodiment of this application, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the rotating mechanism further includes a second rotating component 10. The second rotating component 10 includes a first reinforcing plate 101 and a second reinforcing plate 102. Both the first reinforcing plate 101 and the second reinforcing plate 102 are connected to the inner wall of the mixing shell 2. The first reinforcing plate 101 and the second reinforcing plate 102 are rotatably connected to both ends of the outer sleeve 51, respectively.

[0110] One end of the central shaft 52 is connected to the output end of the first motor 103, and the first motor 103 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing housing 2;

[0111] One end of the outer sleeve 51 is fixedly connected to a driven gear ring 104, and a gear disk 105 is meshed with the side of the driven gear ring 104. The gear disk 105 is connected to the output end of the second motor 106, and the second motor 106 is installed on the inner wall of the mixing housing 2.

[0112] In this technical solution, the second rotating component 10 can drive the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 to rotate, thereby driving the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4 to rotate. Although the power source is increased, the first baffle 3 and the second baffle 4 can be adjusted independently, making the air outlet mode more diverse.

[0113] During adjustment, the first motor 103 can drive the central shaft 52 to rotate, and the second motor 106 can drive the gear disk 105 to rotate, thereby driving the driven gear ring 104 to rotate. At this time, the outer sleeve 51 can be driven to rotate, so that the outer sleeve 51 and the central shaft 52 can rotate respectively.

[0114] As a third embodiment of this application, such as Figure 10As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the dustproof structure also includes a second dustproof component 12. The second dustproof component 12 includes a connecting column 121. The first shielding plate 3 and the second shielding plate 4 are both connected to the connecting column 121. The connecting column 121 is connected to the moving plate 122. One side of the moving plate 122 is connected to one side of the dustproof covering strip 123. The other side of the dustproof covering strip 123 is connected to the mixing shell 2.

[0115] In this technical solution, the second dustproof component 12 can cover the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7 to prevent dust from entering the air conditioner body 1 from the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7, thus preventing it from affecting the use of the air conditioner body 1.

[0116] When the first baffle plate 3 and the second baffle plate 4 rotate, the connecting column 121 can be moved, thereby moving the moving plate 122. At this time, one end of the dustproof cover strip 123 can be moved to unfold the dustproof cover strip 123 and cover the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7 respectively, thus sealing the first outlet 6 and the second outlet 7.

[0117] While specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that these are merely illustrative examples, and the scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to these embodiments without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, but all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
