Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a cabinet type air conditioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] The air supply outlet and the air return inlet of the conventional air conditioner are relatively fixed in position, however, indoor air temperature is stratified along the height direction, air with high temperature gathers at a high position due to small density, and air with low temperature gathers at a low position due to large density, which causes the air conditioner with fixed air supply and return positions to be unable to take into account various working conditions, and there is a temperature stratification phenomenon along the height direction in a certain working condition, and both energy saving and comfort cannot be optimal.

[0003] Taking the cabinet type air conditioner with air supply from above and air return from below or air supply from above and air return from behind as an example, the air supply outlet is located at a high position above the air conditioner, and when the air conditioner is used for cooling in summer, the jet flow can quickly reach the area above the human body activity area, and the cold air flow can naturally sink due to large density, which can achieve rapid cooling and small blowing feeling, and both temperature drop and comfort are taken into account, and at the same time, since the air return inlet is located at the lower part of the air conditioner, the air return temperature is about 2℃ lower than that at the middle and upper parts, and compared with air return at the middle and upper parts, the energy saving effect is better. However, when the air conditioner is used for heating in winter, the hot jet flow does not come down at the upper part of the room due to the principle of hot air rising, and the phenomenon of hot air at the upper part and cold air at the lower part occurs, and at this time, the air return temperature at the lower part is about 2℃ lower than that at the middle and upper parts, and compared with air return at the middle and upper parts, more energy needs to be consumed to achieve the same air outlet temperature, and the energy saving effect is poor. The energy saving and emission reduction and comfort experience of the air conditioner with fixed air supply and return positions cannot be optimal at the same time in the cooling / heating different working conditions. Therefore, the conventional one-way air inlet and outlet circulation mode cannot take into account the energy saving and comfort requirements in cooling and heating.

[0004] There are two kinds of existing reversible air supply air conditioners, one is to control the motor of the axial flow fan to realize reversible air supply by setting a reversible axial flow fan, this mode has high manufacturing cost requirement for the motor, and the axial flow fan has problems of short air supply distance and small air volume, etc.; the other is to set a mixed flow fan to realize reversible air supply by the mixed flow fan blade, this mode has high fan speed and large noise, and has low work efficiency and cannot meet the energy saving requirement. The above two modes have problems of large noise and small air volume, which causes the energy saving and comfort of the air conditioner to be unable to meet the requirements, and the product cannot be realized. Moreover, the air inlet and outlet passages of the existing reversible air conditioner are single, and the air path section is small and the flow process is long, which causes large air inlet resistance, and the air outlet air volume and noise cannot meet the requirements, and the air inlet and outlet modes are not diversified enough.

[0112] As Figure 6As shown, when the air conditioner runs in the single lower air outlet heating mode, the upper baffle structure 81 is controlled to rotate to open the upper return air port 2111, at this time the upper fan air duct 22 and the first upper air outlet duct 211 are not communicated, the upper baffle structure 82 is controlled to rotate to block the communication between the intermediate air duct 23 and the second upper air outlet duct 212, the upper lobe movement mechanism 41 is controlled to move to the second position to make the upper fan 4 blow air downward, the lower baffle structure 83 is controlled to rotate to close the lower return air port 2511, at this time the lower fan air duct 24 and the first lower air outlet duct 251 are communicated, the lower baffle structure 84 is controlled to rotate to make the second lower air outlet duct 252 and the intermediate air duct 23 communicated, the lower lobe movement mechanism 51 is controlled to move to the fourth position to make the lower fan 4 blow air downward; at this time, indoor air from the first air vent 11 of the upper part of the air conditioner enters into the machine body channel 3 through the upper return air port 81, another part of the air enters into the machine body channel 3 through the second air vent 12 of the upper part of the air conditioner and the fourth air vent 14 of the lower part of the air conditioner, the air entering into the machine body channel 3 flows to the opposite sides of the machine body, a part of the air enters into the cavity of the lower fan 5 from the axial direction of the lower fan 5 under the action of the lower fan 5, and finally is blown out from the third air vent 13 of the lower part of the air conditioner through the first lower air outlet duct 251 under the action of the lower fan 5, another part of the air enters into the cavity of the upper fan 4 from the axial direction of the upper fan 4 under the action of the upper fan 4, and finally is blown out from the third air vent 13 of the lower part of the air conditioner through the intermediate air duct 23 and the second lower air outlet duct 252 under the action of the upper fan.

[0113] As Figure 4As shown, when the air conditioner runs in the cooling / heating up and down air outlet mode, the upper baffle structure one 81 is controlled to rotate to close the upper return air outlet 2111, at this time the upper fan air duct 22 and the first upper air outlet 211 are communicated, the upper baffle structure two 82 is controlled to rotate to block the communication between the intermediate air duct 23 and the second upper air outlet 212, the upper volute movement mechanism 41 is controlled to move to the first position to make the upper fan 4 blow air upward, the lower baffle structure one 83 is controlled to rotate to close the lower return air outlet 2511, at this time the lower fan air duct 24 and the first lower air outlet 251 are communicated, the lower baffle structure two 84 is controlled to rotate to block the communication between the intermediate air duct 23 and the second lower air outlet 252, the lower volute movement mechanism 51 is controlled to move to the fourth position to make the lower fan 5 blow air downward. At this time, indoor air enters the machine body channel 3 from the second air inlet 12 of the upper part of the air conditioner and the fourth air inlet 14 of the lower part of the air conditioner, the air entering the machine body channel 3 flows to the opposite sides of the machine body, part of the air enters the cavity of the lower fan 5 from the axial direction of the lower fan 5 under the action of the lower fan 5, passes through the heat exchanger assembly, and is finally blown out from the third air outlet 13 of the lower part of the air conditioner under the action of the lower fan 5, another part of the air enters the cavity of the upper fan 4 from the axial direction of the upper fan 4 under the action of the upper fan 4, passes through the heat exchanger assembly, and is finally blown out from the first air outlet 211 of the air conditioner under the action of the upper fan 4.

[0114] It can be seen that the air conditioner in the embodiment of the present application changes the air inlet and outlet positions with different air outlet modes, the third air inlet 13 of the lower part of the air conditioner is switched to an air inlet in the cooling mode, realizing lower inlet and upper outlet, the first air inlet 11 of the upper part of the air conditioner is switched to an air inlet in the heating mode, realizing upper inlet and lower outlet, and the air inlet and outlet are switched with different modes.

[0115] Further, as shown, Figures 4-6 when the air conditioner runs in the single upper air outlet cooling mode, the upper volute movement mechanism 41 and the upper baffle structure one 81 constitute part of the volute profile of the upper fan 4, the lower volute movement mechanism 51, the lower partition 7 and the lower baffle structure two 84 constitute part of the volute profile of the lower fan 5;

[0116] when the air conditioner runs in the single lower air outlet heating mode, the upper volute movement mechanism 41, the upper partition 6 and the upper baffle structure two 82 constitute part of the volute profile of the upper fan 4, and the lower volute movement mechanism 51 and the lower baffle structure one 81 constitute part of the volute profile of the lower fan 5;

[0117] when the air conditioner runs in the cooling / heating up and down air outlet mode, the upper volute movement mechanism 41 and the upper baffle structure one 81 constitute part of the volute profile of the upper fan 4, and the lower volute movement mechanism 51 and the lower baffle structure one 83 constitute part of the volute profile of the lower fan 5.

[0118] Since the centrifugal fan is noisier than other kinds of fans when in operation, in the embodiment of the present application, the profile of the air duct is formed by combining the volute tongue movement mechanism (upper volute tongue movement mechanism and lower volute tongue movement mechanism) and the partition (upper partition and lower partition) and the wind blocking structure (upper wind blocking structure one, upper wind blocking structure two, lower wind blocking structure one and lower wind blocking structure two) in different operation modes, so that the noise generated by the air conditioner when in operation can be reduced.

[0119] Specifically, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the upper partition 6 comprises an upper triangular blocking block arranged in the upper air outlet duct 21, and the lower partition 7 comprises a lower triangular blocking block arranged in the lower air outlet duct 24;

[0120] The upper triangular blocking block comprises a first upper side 61, a second upper side 62 and a third upper side 63 connected in sequence, the first upper side 61 forms the air duct wall of at least part of the first upper air outlet duct 211, the second upper side 62 forms the air duct wall of at least part of the second upper air outlet duct 212, and the third upper side 63 is arranged close to the upper fan 4;

[0121] The lower triangular blocking block comprises a first lower side 71, a second lower side 72 and a third lower side 73 connected in sequence, the first lower side 71 forms the air duct wall of at least part of the first lower air outlet duct 251, the second lower side 72 forms the air duct wall of at least part of the second lower air outlet duct 252, and the third lower side 73 is arranged close to the lower fan 5; wherein;

[0122] When the air conditioner operates in the single upper air outlet cooling mode, the lower volute tongue movement mechanism 51, the third lower side 73 and the lower wind blocking structure two 84 form part of the volute profile of the lower fan 5;

[0123] When the air conditioner operates in the single lower air outlet heating mode, the third upper side 63 and the upper wind blocking structure two 82 form part of the volute profile of the upper fan 4.

[0124] Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the above-mentioned upper partition 6 and lower partition 7 are not limited to triangular blocking blocks, as long as the partition (upper partition and lower partition) arranged can achieve the above-mentioned functions. Of course, in the embodiment of the present application, the upper partition 6 and the lower partition 7 are preferably arranged as triangular blocking blocks.

[0125] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , in order to further reduce the noise generated by the air conditioner when in operation, in the embodiment of the present application, the third upper side 63 arranged close to the first centrifugal fan system 4 is configured as an arc shape;

[0126] The third lower side 73, which is arranged close to the second centrifugal fan system 5, is arc-shaped;

[0127] The upper wind blocking structure one 81, the upper wind blocking structure two 82, the lower wind blocking structure one 83 and the lower wind blocking structure two 84 are all arc-shaped.

[0128] In this way, when the air conditioner operates in different modes, the combination of the volute tongue movement mechanism (upper volute tongue movement mechanism and lower volute tongue movement mechanism), the partition (upper partition and lower partition) and the wind blocking structure (upper wind blocking structure one, upper wind blocking structure two, lower wind blocking structure one and lower wind blocking structure two) forms a continuous arc-shaped curve, thereby further reducing the wind noise.

[0129] Of course, the air conditioner described above also comprises a heat exchanger assembly 9 as shown in the drawings, in particular; Figure 1

[0130] The heat exchanger assembly 9 is arranged in the body shell passage 3 and is used to exchange heat with the air flowing through the body shell passage 3.

[0131] When the air conditioner operates in the upper air outlet cooling mode, the air entering from the third air vent 13 enters the lower air outlet passage 25 and enters the body shell passage 3 through the opened lower return air vent 2511, the air entering from the second air vent 12 and the fourth air vent 14 directly enters the body shell passage 3, and after the air entering the body shell passage 3 exchanges heat with the heat exchanger assembly 9, part of the air flows out from the first air vent 11 after passing through the upper air fan 4 and the upper air outlet passage 21, and the other part of the air flows out from the first air vent 21 after passing through the lower air fan 5, the intermediate air passage 23 and the upper air outlet passage 21.

[0132] When the air conditioner operates in the lower air outlet heating mode, the air entering from the first air vent 11 enters the upper air outlet passage 21 and enters the body shell passage 3 through the opened upper return air vent 2111, the air entering from the second air vent 12 and the fourth air vent 14 directly enters the body shell passage 3, and after the air entering the body shell passage 3 exchanges heat with the heat exchanger assembly 9, part of the air flows out from the third air vent 13 after passing through the upper air fan 4, the intermediate air passage 23 and the lower air outlet passage 25, and the other part of the air flows out from the third air vent 13 after passing through the lower air fan 4 and the lower air outlet passage 25.

[0133] When the air conditioner operates in the cooling / heating upper and lower air outlet mode, the air entering from the second air vent 12 and the fourth air vent 14 enters the body shell passage 3, and after the air entering the body shell passage 3 exchanges heat with the heat exchanger assembly 9, part of the air flows out from the first air vent 11 after passing through the upper air fan 4 and the upper air outlet passage 21, and the other part of the air flows out from the third air vent 13 after passing through the lower air fan 5 and the lower air outlet passage 25.​

[0134] That is, all the wind entering the fuselage shell passage 3 needs to pass through the heat exchanger assembly 9 before entering the air duct component 2, and is finally blown out from the air outlet under the action of the air duct component 2.

[0135] Specifically, as shown in Figure 10 The heat exchanger assembly 9 includes opposite first heat exchange part 91 and second heat exchange part 92, the upper part of the first heat exchange part 91 and the upper part of the second heat exchange part 92 are connected by the first connecting part 93, the lower part of the first heat exchange part 91 and the lower part of the second heat exchange part 92 are connected by the second connecting part 94, the first heat exchange part 91, the second heat exchange part 92, the first connecting part 93 and the second connecting part 94 are surrounded to form the heat exchanger assembly 9 with an open cavity in the middle part;

[0136] The air duct component 2 is placed in the open cavity in the middle part of the heat exchanger assembly 9, wherein the axial ends of the upper fan 4 in the air duct component 2 correspond to the first heat exchange part 91 and the second heat exchange part 92 respectively, and the axial ends of the lower fan 5 in the air duct component 2 correspond to the first heat exchange part 91 and the second heat exchange part 92 respectively.

[0137] More specifically, the first heat exchange part 91 includes a first heat exchange part upper part 911 corresponding to one axial end of the upper fan 4, and a first heat exchange part lower part 912 corresponding to one axial end of the lower fan 5;

[0138] The second heat exchange part 92 includes a second heat exchange part upper part 921 corresponding to the other axial end of the upper fan 4, and a second heat exchange part lower part 922 corresponding to the other axial end of the lower fan 5;

[0139] Wherein the first heat exchange part upper part 911 and the first heat exchange part lower part 912 constitute a V-shaped heat exchange part with the notch facing one side of the air duct component 2, and the second heat exchange part upper part 921 and the second heat exchange part lower part 922 constitute a V-shaped heat exchange part with the notch facing the other side of the air duct component 2.

[0140] That is, the first heat exchange part upper part 911, the first heat exchange part lower part 912, the second heat exchange part upper part 921 and the second heat exchange part lower part 922 in the embodiment of the application are all inclinedly arranged in the fuselage shell passage 3, so that when the airflow enters the fuselage shell passage 3 and exchanges heat with the corresponding heat exchange part, on the one hand, the air resistance can be reduced, and on the other hand, the heat exchange area can be increased, thereby improving the heat exchange effect on the airflow.

[0141] In any of the above embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The air conditioner further comprises an upper passage 100 and a lower passage 200;

[0146] The panel component 1b is arranged at the open position of the front part of the air inlet component 1a;

[0153] The upper air duct shell comprises a first upper air duct shell 2a1, a second upper air duct shell 2a2, and a first upper side plate and a second upper side plate connected between the first upper air duct shell 2a1 and the second upper air duct shell 2a2, which together enclose an upper air duct cavity;

[0154] The upper air duct cavity comprises an upper fan air duct 22 for accommodating an upper fan 4, a first upper air duct and a second upper air duct located on both sides of the preset rotation axis of the upper fan air duct 22 and communicated with the upper fan air duct 22, and the first upper air duct forms a first upper outlet 2c at one end away from the upper fan air duct 22, and the second upper air duct forms a second upper outlet 2d at one end away from the upper fan air duct 22;

[0155] The upper air duct component 2a is provided with an upper partition 6 at a side of the first upper air duct communicating with the upper air duct 22, the upper partition 6 divides the first upper air duct at the communicating side with the upper air duct 22 into a first upper air outlet 211 and a second upper air outlet 212, the communicating port of the first upper air outlet 211 with the upper air duct 22 is a first upper air vent, the communicating port of the second upper air outlet 212 with the upper air duct 22 is a second upper air vent, and the side of the first upper air outlet 211 and the second upper air outlet 212 away from the upper air duct 22 is communicated with the first upper outlet 2c;

[0156] The first upper air duct shell 2a1 is provided with a first upper return air vent 2111 communicating with the first upper air outlet 211;

[0157] The upper partition 6 comprises a first upper side 61, a second upper side 62 and a third upper side 63, wherein the first upper side 61 and the inner wall of the first upper air duct shell 2a1 form the first upper air outlet 211, the second upper side 62 and the inner wall of the second upper air duct shell 2a2 form the second upper air outlet 212, and the third upper side 63 faces the inner side of the upper air duct 22;

[0158] The upper air duct component 2a is provided with an upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 at the upper air duct 22, the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 can slide in the circumferential direction of the upper air duct 22 around a preset rotation axis of the upper air duct 22, and the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 has a first upper working position and a second upper working position on the circumferential sliding track thereof, when the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 slides to the first upper working position, the upper air duct 22 is closed with the first upper air outlet 211 and is communicated with the second upper air outlet 212 and the second upper air duct, and when the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 slides to the second upper working position, the upper air duct 22 is communicated with the first upper air outlet 211 and is closed with the second upper air outlet 212 and the second upper air duct;

[0159] The upper air duct component 2a is further provided with an upper air blocking structure one 81 and an upper air blocking structure two 82, wherein the upper air blocking structure one 81 can be controlled to selectively open one of the first upper return air vent 2111 and the first upper air vent and close the other one, and the upper air blocking structure two 82 can be controlled to selectively open or close the second upper air vent.

[0160] Through the above structure, the air duct component provided in the embodiment can realize multiple air outlet modes, specifically:

[0161] When the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 slides to the first upper working position, the upper fan air duct 22 is shut off from the first upper air outlet 211, and the upper fan air duct 22 is communicated with the second upper air outlet 212, the second upper air duct. At this time, the upper air baffle structure one 81 can be controlled to close the upper return air outlet 2111, and the upper air baffle structure two 82 is controlled to close the second upper air outlet. When the air duct component is installed in the body of the air conditioner, the airflow can enter the upper fan passage 22 from the body shell passage defined between the air duct component and the body, and be discharged from the second upper outlet 2d, as shown in Figure 9 The second upper outlet 2d is located below, thereby realizing a single lower air outlet mode.

[0162] When the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 slides to the first upper working position, the upper fan air duct 22 is shut off from the first upper air outlet 211, and the upper fan air duct 22 is communicated with the second upper air outlet 212, the second upper air duct. At this time, the upper air baffle structure one 81 can be controlled to close the upper return air outlet 2111, and the upper air baffle structure two 82 is controlled to close the second upper air outlet. When the air duct component is installed in the body of the air conditioner, the airflow can enter the upper fan passage 22 from the body shell passage defined between the air duct component and the body, and be discharged from the second upper outlet 2d, as shown in Figure 9 The second upper outlet 2d is located below, thereby realizing a single lower air outlet mode. Since the first upper outlet 2c also takes in air at this time, the air volume of the single lower air outlet is also improved.

[0163] When the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 slides to the first upper working position, the upper fan air duct 22 is shut off from the first upper air outlet 211, and the upper fan air duct 22 is communicated with the second upper air outlet 212, the second upper air duct. At this time, the upper air baffle structure one 81 can be controlled to close the upper return air outlet 2111, and the upper air baffle structure two 82 is controlled to close the second upper air outlet. When the air duct component is installed in the body of the air conditioner, the airflow can enter the upper fan passage 22 from the body shell passage defined between the air duct component and the body, and be discharged from the second upper outlet 2d, as shown in Figure 9 The second upper outlet 2d is located below, thereby realizing a single lower air outlet mode. Since the first upper outlet 2c also takes in air at this time, the air volume of the single lower air outlet is also improved.

[0164] When the upper volute tongue movement mechanism 41 slides to the first upper working position, the upper fan air duct 22 is shut off from the first upper air outlet 211, and the upper fan air duct 22 is communicated with the second upper air outlet 212, the second upper air duct.
