The equipment comprises an air cooling and heating regulating device, an air-water making device, a water storage device and a water purification device. The air cooling and heating regulating device comprises an indoor fan, an indoor heat exchanger, an air-conditioning air outlet device, a compressor, a four-way reversing valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion valve, an axial flow fan and an air-liquid separator.

After the compressor compresses the air-conditioning medium, the air enters the water-making condenser. After the air contacts the water-making condensing and evaporating component, it is cooled, so that the water vapor therein condenses into water. The condensed water drips into a water storage tank, thereby realizing air-water making. The air-conditioning medium flows out of the water-making evaporator, passes through the gas-liquid separator and returns to the compressor, forming a water-making circuit. The water in the water storage tank enters the water storage device for water storage or enters the water purification device for filtration and sterilization, and then is transported to the water storage device for water storage.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning and air-to-water production, and in particular to a water production method for an integrated air conditioning and air-to-water production device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, various air conditioners on the market mainly have cooling or heating functions. In cooling mode, the surface temperature of the indoor unit's evaporator is very low, and condensation and dripping will occur when the air comes into contact with it. However, there are water trays and water pipes inside the air conditioner, which discharge the condensed water to the outside, which not only wastes water resources, but also brings inconvenience to the use of the air conditioner.

[0003] In view of this, the present invention is deeply conceived to address the many deficiencies and inconveniences caused by the imperfections in existing air-conditioning designs, and actively researches, improves and trials to develop a multifunctional air-conditioning and air-to-water integrated equipment, which can use an outdoor compression system to enable the water-making evaporator to condense moisture in the air and reasonably recycle the condensed water generated by the air-conditioning, thereby maximizing the utilization of water resources. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water production method for an air-conditioning and air-water-making integrated equipment that integrates air conditioning and air-water-making functions, which can realize the function of cooling or heating indoor air, and can also make air into water that meets user needs and can be directly used or drunk through a filtration and sterilization system, and make full use of the condensed water generated by the operation of the air conditioner.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the solution of the present invention is:

[0006] An air-water production method for an air-conditioning and air-water production integrated device, the device comprising: an air cooling and heating regulating device, an air-water production device, a water storage device, and a water purification device;

[0007] The air cooling and heating regulating device includes an indoor fan, an indoor heat exchanger, an air-conditioning outlet device, a compressor, a four-way reversing valve, an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion valve, an axial flow fan and an air-liquid separator; the four-way valve has four ports, the output end of the compressor is connected to the first port of the four-way reversing valve, the second port of the four-way reversing valve is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit, the third port is connected to one end of the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit, the fourth port of the four-way reversing valve is connected to the input end of the air-liquid separator, the output end of the air-liquid separator is connected to the input end of the compressor, the outdoor heat exchanger is connected to the axial flow fan and the expansion valve, the other end of the expansion valve is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, the indoor heat exchanger is connected to the indoor fan and the air-conditioning outlet device, and an indoor water collecting pan is provided below the air-conditioning outlet device;

[0008] The air-to-water device includes a water-making condensation and evaporation component, a water storage tank, a water-making expansion valve, an air filter, a compressor, an axial flow fan and a gas-liquid separator;

[0009] The water-making condensation and evaporation assembly includes a water-making evaporator and a water-making condenser. The water-making condenser is connected to the compressor through a first three-way valve. The first three-way valve is respectively connected to the output end of the compressor, the first port (input end) of the four-way reversing valve, and the water-making condenser. The water-making condenser is connected to the input end of the water-making expansion valve. The output end of the water-making expansion valve is connected to the input end of the water-making evaporator. The output end of the water-making evaporator is connected to the gas-liquid separator. The water accumulation tank is arranged below the water-making condensation and evaporation assembly. The air filter is installed on the side of the outdoor unit close to the water-making condensation and evaporation assembly. The axial flow fan is arranged on the other side of the water-making condensation and evaporation assembly.

[0010] The water storage device is connected to the water purification device through a water pipeline, and the water storage tank and indoor water collection tray of the air water making device are connected to the water storage device or the water purification device;

[0011] The air-to-water method is as follows: the axial flow fan runs, and the outdoor air is sucked into the water-making condensation and evaporation component through the air filter. The compressor compresses the air-conditioning medium, turning the air-conditioning medium into high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The air-conditioning medium enters the water-making condenser through the first three-way valve, and the sucked air cools the air-conditioning medium in the water-making condenser. The air-conditioning medium then passes through the water-making expansion valve and enters the water-making evaporator, where it undergoes a gasification phase change, absorbs heat, and condenses water vapor in the air into water. The condensed water drips into the water storage tank, realizing air-to-water production. After flowing out of the water-making evaporator, the air-conditioning medium passes through the gas-liquid separator and returns to the input end of the compressor, forming an air-conditioning medium loop, and continuing air-to-water production; the water in the water storage tank enters the water storage device through the water pipeline for storage or enters the water purification device through the water pipeline for purification and then is transported to the water storage device for storage.

[0012] Furthermore, air conditioning and cooling are performed while air is being made into water. During cooling, the first port of the four-way reversing valve is connected to the second port, and the third port is connected to the fourth port. After the compressor compresses the air-conditioning medium, the air-conditioning medium flows out of the compressor and is diverted at the first three-way valve. One path of the air-conditioning medium enters the water-making condenser for air-to-water production; the other path of the air-conditioning medium enters the second port through the first port of the four-way reversing valve and is then transported to the outdoor heat exchanger. At this time, there is a large temperature difference between the high-temperature air-conditioning medium and the ambient temperature. The air flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger takes away the heat, causing the temperature of the air-conditioning medium to drop to close to the ambient temperature. The axial flow fan introduces external air and quickly dissipates the hot air to the outdoors to maintain the air hot and cold conditions. Normal operation of the air-saving device; the cooled air-conditioning medium is sent out from the output port of the outdoor heat exchanger, enters the indoor heat exchanger of the indoor unit from the expansion valve, undergoes gasification phase change in the indoor heat exchanger, absorbs heat, and the air-conditioning medium that has been gasified and heated in the indoor heat exchanger flows through the third port of the four-way reversing valve and returns to the fourth port, then enters the gas-liquid separator and then returns to the input end of the compressor, forming a refrigeration cycle loop. The air-conditioning outlet device passes the air through the indoor heat exchanger from the air inlet and discharges the cold air from the air outlet; the water generated in the refrigeration process enters the indoor water collection pan, and the water collection pan is connected to the water storage device through a water pipe for water storage and purification, or enters the water purification device through a water pipe for purification and then transported to the water storage device for water storage.

[0013] Furthermore, air-to-water is simultaneously generated by air conditioning and heating. During heating, the first port of the four-way reversing valve is connected to the third port, and the second port is connected to the fourth output port. After the compressor compresses the air-conditioning medium, the air-conditioning medium flows out of the compressor and is split by the first three-way valve. One path of the air-conditioning medium enters the water-making condenser to generate air-to-water. The other path of the air-conditioning medium enters the third port through the first port of the four-way reversing valve and is then transported to the indoor heat exchanger for heat exchange. The air-conditioning medium then exits from the other port of the indoor heat exchanger, thereby increasing the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger and heating the air flowing around the indoor heat exchanger. The air-conditioning outlet device passes the air through the indoor heat exchanger from the air inlet and discharges the hot air from the air outlet. The liquid air-conditioning medium cooled by the indoor heat exchanger is transported to the expansion valve and then enters the outdoor heat exchanger of the outdoor unit. There, the liquid air-conditioning medium undergoes a vaporization phase change and absorbs heat. After vaporization and temperature increase in the outdoor heat exchanger, the air-conditioning medium enters the fourth port from the second port of the four-way reversing valve, passes through the gas-liquid separator, and then returns to the input end of the compressor, thereby circulating the air-conditioning medium.

[0014] Furthermore, the air-conditioning and air-water-making integrated equipment also includes a water cooling device, which has a water inlet valve and a cold water pump connected to the water tank, a direct cooling pipe connected to the water inlet valve, a cold water circulation valve and a cold water outlet valve connected to the direct cooling pipe, the direct cooling pipe is connected by a multi-section tubular structure, including an inner pipe and an outer pipe, the inner pipe is an instant cooling evaporator pipe, the outer pipe is a water container, the cold water outlet valve is connected to the water outlet seat, the output end of the water-making evaporator is connected to the gas-liquid separator through a second three-way valve, and the second three-way valve is respectively connected to the gas-liquid separator, the instant cooling evaporator pipe and the water-making evaporator; when cold water needs to be output, the direct cooling pipe works, and under the drive of the cold water pump, the water in the water tank flows to the direct cooling pipe through the water inlet valve, and the direct cooling pipe reduces the water temperature to the required temperature; in standby mode, or when cold water is not used externally, the cold water flows back to the cold water pump through the cold water circulation valve, and then to the direct cooling pipe for intermittent circulation cooling to maintain the temperature of the cold water.

[0015] Furthermore, the direct cooling pipe and the water-making evaporator use a compressor and a water-making condenser. The water-making condenser is connected to the water-making evaporator through the water-making expansion valve, and is connected to the instant cooling evaporator of the direct cooling pipe through the instant cooling expansion valve. The instant cooling evaporator pipe is connected to the second three-way valve. According to the demand for water production and the demand for cold water, the water-making expansion valve and the instant cooling expansion valve are adjusted or switched to realize condensation water production and cold water refrigeration.

[0016] Furthermore, the air conditioning and air-to-water integrated equipment also includes a water heating device, which includes a hot water inlet valve, a hot water pump, a direct heater, and a hot water output valve. The hot water pump is connected to a water storage tank, the hot water inlet valve is connected to the hot water pump and the direct heater, and the direct heater is connected to the hot water output valve; when hot water is needed, the hot water pump pumps water from the water storage tank to the hot water inlet valve, and then heats the water through the direct heater to quickly heat the water to the required temperature, and then controls the water output through the hot water output valve.

[0017] Furthermore, the water purification device includes a combined filter assembly and a UV ultraviolet and ozone sterilization device. The water in the indoor water collection tray and the water tank is filtered by the combined filter assembly and then transported to the water storage tank for storage. The water coming out of the water storage tank is then sterilized by the UV ultraviolet and ozone circulation device for external UV ultraviolet and ozone sterilization, thereby achieving sufficient UV ultraviolet irradiation sterilization and ozone sterilization in the flow of water.

[0018] Furthermore, the water in the water storage tank is sterilized by the UV ultraviolet and ozone sterilization device under the action of the cold water pump, and then output as drinkable water after taste filtration; when the water is not in use, the water in the water storage tank is regularly circulated and sterilized under the joint action of the cold water pump and the cold water circulation valve.

[0019] After adopting the above structure, the split-type air conditioner and air-to-water integrated device of the present invention combines the air-to-water and air-conditioning functions into one, which can not only cool, heat or make water independently, but also make water while cooling or while heating, thus saving costs. It can not only recycle and purify the condensed water generated when the air conditioner is running, but also condense the water vapor in the outdoor air into liquid water and then purify it. The purified water can be used as direct drinking water or household water, making full use of water resources. The present invention installs the air-to-water part outdoors to shield noise interference. The air-to-water and air-conditioning of the present invention use an outdoor compressor, an axial flow fan and a gas-liquid separator to make full use of the water vapor in the outdoor air to make water, and can reduce indoor noise, while reducing the cost of the entire equipment, reducing energy consumption, and having a compact structure, making it more practical.

[0041] In order to further explain the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0042] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "upper," "lower," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer" indicating orientations or positional relationships are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the present invention. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 12 As shown, the present invention discloses a split-type air conditioner and air-water-generating integrated device, which includes an air cooling and heating adjustment device 10, an air-water-generating device 20, a water storage device 30, and a water purification device 40. The air cooling and heating adjustment device 10 includes an indoor unit 1 and an outdoor unit 2. The indoor unit 1 includes an indoor fan 11, an indoor heat exchanger 12, and an air-conditioning air outlet device 13; the outdoor unit 2 includes a compressor 21, a four-way reversing valve 22, an outdoor heat exchanger 23, an expansion valve 24, an axial flow fan 25, and a gas-liquid separator 26; the four-way reversing valve has four ports A1, A2, A3, and A4, and the output end of the compressor 21 is connected to the first port A1 of the four-way reversing valve 22 (the first port A1 is the input port). The second port A2 of the four-way reversing valve 22 is connected to the outdoor heat exchanger 23 of the outdoor unit 2 (the second port A2 is the output port when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, and the input port when the air conditioner is in heating mode), the third port A3 is connected to one end of the indoor heat exchanger 12 of the indoor unit 1 (the third port is the input port when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, and the output port when the air conditioner is in heating mode), the fourth port A4 of the four-way reversing valve 22 is connected to the input end of the gas-liquid separator 26 (the fourth port A4 is the output port), the output end of the gas-liquid separator 26 is connected to the input end of the compressor 21, the outdoor heat exchanger 23 is connected to the axial flow fan 25 and the expansion valve 24, the other end of the expansion valve 24 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger 12 of the indoor unit 1, and the indoor heat exchanger 12 is connected to the indoor fan 11 and the air outlet device 13 of the air conditioner.

[0044] When the air cooling and heating conditioning device 10 is cooling (i.e., cooling), the first port A1 of the four-way reversing valve 22 is connected to the second port A2, and the third port A3 is connected to the fourth port A4. The compressor 21 compresses the air-conditioning medium, turning the air-conditioning medium from gas to liquid, and the liquid temperature increases. The heated air-conditioning medium enters the second port A2 through the first port A1 of the four-way reversing valve 22 and is then transported to the outdoor heat exchanger 23 of the outdoor unit 2. At this time, there is a large temperature difference between the high-temperature air-conditioning medium and the ambient temperature. The air flowing through the outdoor heat exchanger 23 can easily take away heat at a low energy consumption, so that the temperature of the air-conditioning medium drops to close to the ambient temperature. The axial flow fan 2 5 is in operation, introducing outside air and quickly dissipating the hot air to the outside to maintain the normal operation of the air conditioning device 10; the cooled air-conditioning medium is sent out from the output port of the outdoor heat exchanger 23, enters the indoor heat exchanger 12 of the indoor unit 1 through the expansion valve 24, undergoes a vaporization phase change in the indoor heat exchanger 12, absorbs heat, and the air-conditioning medium vaporized and heated in the indoor heat exchanger 12 flows through the third port A3 of the four-way reversing valve 22 and returns to the fourth port A4, then enters the gas-liquid separator 26 and then returns to the input end of the compressor 21, forming a refrigeration cycle. The air-conditioning outlet device 13 passes the air from the air inlet through the indoor heat exchanger 12 and discharges the cold air from the air outlet.

[0045] When the air conditioning device 10 is heating (i.e., raising the temperature), the first port A1 of the four-way reversing valve 22 is connected to the second port A2, and the third port A3 is connected to the fourth port A4. The compressor 21 compresses the air-conditioning medium, turning it into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The high-temperature air-conditioning medium enters the third port A3 through the first port A1 of the four-way reversing valve 22 and is then transported to the indoor heat exchanger 12 of the indoor unit 1 for heat exchange, and then exits from the other port of the indoor heat exchanger 12, causing the temperature of the indoor heat exchanger 12 to rise, thereby heating the air flowing through the indoor unit 1. The air around the heat exchanger 12, the air-conditioning outlet device 13 passes the air through the indoor heat exchanger 12 from the air inlet, and discharges the hot air from the air outlet; the liquid air-conditioning medium cooled by the indoor heat exchanger 12 is transported to the expansion valve 24 and then enters the outdoor heat exchanger 23 of the outdoor unit 2, undergoes a gasification phase change in the outdoor heat exchanger 23, absorbs heat, and the air-conditioning medium that has been gasified and heated by the outdoor heat exchanger 23 enters the fourth port A4 from the second port A2 of the four-way reversing valve 22, passes through the gas-liquid separator 26, and then returns to the input end of the compressor 21, so that the air-conditioning medium circulates.

[0046] The air water making device 20 is arranged in the outdoor unit 2 of the air cooling and heating conditioning device 10. The air water making device 20 includes a water making condensation and evaporation component 3, a water storage tank 33, an air filter 4, a water making expansion valve 34, and a compressor 21, an axial flow fan 25, and a gas-liquid separator 26 used with the air cooling and heating conditioning device 10. Among them, the water making condensation and evaporation component 3 includes a water making evaporator 31 and a water making condenser 32. The water making condenser 32 is connected to the compressor 21 through a first three-way valve 35. The first three-way valve 35 is connected to The output end of the compressor 21, the input end of the four-way reversing valve 22 and the water-making condenser 32, the water-making condenser 32 is connected to the input end of the water-making expansion valve 34, the output end of the water-making expansion valve 34 is connected to the input end of the water-making evaporator 31, the output end of the water-making evaporator 31 is connected to the gas-liquid separator 26, the water accumulation tank 33 is arranged below the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3, the air filter 4 is installed on the side of the outdoor unit 2 close to the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3, and the axial fan 25 is arranged on the other side of the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3.

[0047] When air-to-water is produced, the axial fan 25 is started, and outdoor air is sucked into the outdoor unit through the air filter 4. At the same time, the compressor 21 compresses the air-conditioning medium gas, turning the air-conditioning medium into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas. The air-conditioning medium enters the water-making condenser 32 through the first three-way valve 35. The sucked air cools the air-conditioning medium in the water-making condenser 32. The air-conditioning medium then passes through the water-making expansion valve 34 and enters the water-making evaporator 31. It undergoes a gasification phase change in the water-making evaporator 31, absorbs heat, and condenses the water vapor in the air into water. The condensed water drips into the water storage tank 33, realizing air-to-water production. After the air-conditioning medium flows out of the water-making evaporator 31, it passes through the gas-liquid separator 26 and returns to the input end of the compressor 21, forming an air-conditioning medium loop and continuing air-to-water production.

[0048] The water storage device 30 is disposed in the indoor unit 1 . The water storage device 30 is connected to the water purification device 40 via a water pipeline. The indoor unit 1 is provided with a water outlet seat 14 connected to the water storage device 30 .

The indoor unit 1 is provided with an indoor water collection tray 15 connected to the water purification device 40. The indoor water collection tray 15 is used to collect condensed water generated during the operation of the air cooling and heating conditioning device 10.

[0050] The split-type air conditioner and air-to-water device of the present invention combines air-to-water production and air conditioning into one, saving costs. It can not only produce water independently, but also recycle and purify the condensed water generated during air conditioning operation. The purified water can be used as direct drinking water or household water, making full use of water resources. The present invention installs the air-to-water production part outdoors to shield noise interference. The water production and air conditioning use an outdoor compressor 21, an axial flow fan 25, and a gas-liquid separator 26, making full use of the water vapor in the outdoor air to produce water, and can reduce indoor noise. At the same time, the cost of the entire device is reduced, energy consumption is reduced, the structure is compact, and it is more practical.

[0051] like Figures 6 to 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3 of the air water-making device 20 assembles the water-making condenser 32 and the water-making evaporator 31 together through a water-making outer frame, and the outdoor unit 2 is provided with a water-making installation bracket 38 for installing the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3 and the water accumulation tank 33, and the water accumulation tank 33 is arranged at the bottom of the water-making installation bracket 38; in order to facilitate the maintenance of the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3 and the water accumulation tank 33, the water-making condensation and evaporation component 3 is installed on the water-making installation bracket 38 in a pull-out manner, and is in close contact with the water accumulation tank 33 below.

[0052] The water storage tank 33 is provided with a water inlet 331 and a water outlet 332. Condensed liquid water produced by the water evaporator 31 in the water condensation and evaporation assembly 3 flows into the water storage tank 33 through the water inlet and out through the water outlet 332. The water outlet 332 is connected to the water purification device 40 of the indoor unit 1 via a water pipe. The water outlet 332 of the water storage tank 33 is slightly higher than the bottom of the water storage tank to prevent clogging by dust accumulation. The water storage tank 33 is also provided with a drain outlet 333 for cleaning the water storage tank.

[0053] like Figure 7 As shown, the water production outer frame 37 includes two left and right sealing plates 371, a cover plate 372, and side seals 373. The left and right sealing plates 371 and the cover plate 372 seal the four sides and top surfaces of the water production evaporator 31 and the water production condenser 32. The water storage tank 33 is located at the bottom of the water production condensation and evaporation assembly 3. The front and rear side seals 373 seal the gap between the water production evaporator 31 and the water production condenser 32. The above structure closes the space above the water storage tank 33, leaving only the effective surfaces of the water production evaporator 31 and the water production condenser 32 to contact the flowing air for water production. A pull-out handle 374 is provided on the top of the cover plate 372 to facilitate pulling the water production condensation and evaporation assembly 3 from the water production mounting bracket 38. The air conditioning medium interface of the water production evaporator 31 and the water production condenser 32 is set on the same side and exposed from the opening of one of the sealing plates 371, which is convenient for maintenance and disassembly.

In this embodiment, the automatic dust removal device includes a motor 41, a first connecting rod 42, a second connecting rod 43, a brush scraper 44, a roller 45 and a guide rail 46. The guide rail 46 is provided at the upper and lower ends of the air filter 4. One end of the two rollers 45 is slidably limited on the two guide rails 46. The other ends of the two rollers 45 are connected to the bottom ends of the brush scraper 44. The top end of the brush scraper 44 is pivotally connected to one end of the second connecting rod 43. Together, the other end of the second connecting rod 43 is pivotally connected to one end of the first connecting rod 42. The other end of the first connecting rod 42 is connected to the motor 41. The motor 41 drives the first connecting rod 42 to perform circular motion, while also driving the second connecting rod 43 to move. The brush scraper 44, pushed or pulled by the second connecting rod 43, reciprocates along the guide rail 46, thereby sweeping dust off the air filter 4, achieving the purpose of dust removal and ensuring smooth air flow through the air filter 4, thereby ensuring good water production effect.

[0064] The hot water output process is as follows: when hot water is needed, the hot water pump 603 pumps water from the water tank 5 to the hot water inlet valve 602, and then heats the water through the direct heater 604 to quickly heat the water to the required temperature (for example: 95-100℃), and then controls the water output through the hot water output valve 605.

[0065] The water cooling device 50 and the water heating device 60 may also be provided with flow meters respectively to control the water output.

[0066] The present invention can further circulate and sterilize the water in the water tank 5.
