Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to air conditioning technology, and in particular to an air-conditioned room for plants. Background Technology

[0002] As people increasingly pursue a higher quality of life, more and more people are placing green plants and flowers indoors, both for aesthetic pleasure and to help regulate the indoor air quality. However, environmental factors such as humidity and temperature have a significant impact on plant growth. Therefore, indoor plants currently require users to invest too much time and effort in their care, and also demand sufficient experience in plant cultivation. This greatly reduces users' confidence and success rate in growing plants. Summary of the Invention

[0003] One object of the present invention is to overcome at least one deficiency of the prior art and to provide an air-conditioned room for plants that can automatically regulate its internal environment.

[0004] Another objective of this invention is to reduce energy consumption in air-conditioned rooms.

[0005] A further objective of this invention is to improve the rationality of the airflow design of the indoor unit of an air conditioner.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an air-conditioned chamber for plants, comprising:

[0007] The outer shell, which defines an internal space for accommodating plants, and has ventilation openings thereon; and

[0008] An indoor air conditioning unit is installed within the accommodating space to regulate the air environment within the accommodating space; wherein,

[0009] The indoor unit of the air conditioner includes:

[0010] The housing has a first air inlet communicating with the accommodating space and isolated from the vent, a second air inlet communicating with the vent and isolated from the accommodating space, and at least one air outlet communicating with the accommodating space; and

[0012] Optionally, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a heat exchanger movably disposed within the casing; and

[0013] The heat exchanger is configured to move to the airflow path where the first air inlet is located when the airflow adjustment mechanism is in the first state, and to move to the airflow path where the second air inlet is located when the airflow adjustment mechanism is in the second state.

[0014] Optionally, the airflow regulating mechanism and the heat exchanger are configured to rotate synchronously about the same axis.

[0015] Optionally, the indoor unit of the air conditioner further includes a cross-flow fan disposed within the casing; and

[0016] The airflow adjustment mechanism and the heat exchanger are both located on the radial outer side of the cross-flow fan and rotate synchronously around the shaft of the cross-flow fan.

[0017] Optionally, the housing is cylindrical, and the first air inlet, the second air inlet, and the at least one air outlet are all formed on the side wall of the cylinder and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cylinder; wherein

[0018] The airflow adjustment mechanism includes at least one arc-shaped baffle adapted to the shape of the side wall of the cylinder; and

[0019] The heat exchanger is an arc-shaped heat exchanger adapted to the shape of the side wall of the cylinder.

[0020] Optionally, the at least one air outlet includes a first air outlet disposed opposite to the first air inlet and a second air outlet disposed opposite to the second air inlet; and

[0021] The airflow adjustment mechanism is configured to open the first air outlet and block the second air outlet in the first state, and to open the second air outlet and block the first air outlet in the second state.

[0022] Optionally, the housing is cylindrical, and the first air inlet, the second air inlet, the first air outlet, and the second air outlet are all formed on the side wall of the cylinder and are spaced apart along the circumference of the cylinder; and

[0023] The airflow adjustment mechanism includes two arc-shaped baffles that are adapted to the shape of the side wall of the cylinder. When the airflow adjustment mechanism is in the first state, the two arc-shaped baffles respectively block the second air inlet and the second air outlet, and when the airflow adjustment mechanism is in the second state, they respectively block the first air inlet and the first air outlet.

[0024] Optionally, the two arc-shaped baffles are symmetrically arranged, and two ventilation gaps are formed between the two arc-shaped baffles;

[0025] When the airflow adjustment mechanism is in the first state, the two ventilation intervals are respectively opposite to the first air inlet and the first air outlet; when the airflow adjustment mechanism is in the second state, the two ventilation intervals are respectively opposite to the second air inlet and the second air outlet; and

[0026] The indoor unit of the air conditioner also includes a heat exchanger disposed inside the casing and rotating synchronously with the air duct adjustment mechanism, wherein the heat exchanger is located in one of the ventilation compartments.

[0027] Optionally, the second air inlet is positioned opposite and spaced apart from the vent, forming a buffer space between the second air inlet and the vent; and

[0028] The buffer space, except for the side where the second air inlet and the vent are located, is isolated from the accommodating space by a sealing plate.

[0029] Optionally, the plant-based air-conditioned room further includes:

[0030] A first temperature sensor is disposed inside the housing and is used to acquire the temperature within the accommodating space;

[0032] A light intensity sensor, disposed inside the housing, is used to acquire the light intensity within the accommodating space;

[0033] A gas sensor, disposed within the housing, is used to acquire the concentration of the target gas within the accommodating space; and / or

[0034] A lighting device, disposed within the housing, is used to emit light into the accommodating space.

[0035] This invention provides an air-conditioned chamber for plants, comprising an outer casing and an indoor air-conditioning unit disposed within the casing. The casing defines a space for placing plants. The indoor air-conditioning unit regulates the air environment within the space, making it more suitable for plant growth, reducing the user's effort, compensating for any lack of planting experience, and increasing the user's confidence and enjoyment in growing plants.

[0036] More importantly, the indoor unit of the air conditioner has two air inlets on its casing. The first air inlet is connected to the storage space but isolated from the vents on the outer casing, while the second air inlet is isolated from the storage space but connected to the vents on the outer casing. This means the indoor unit allows air from both the storage space and the outside air to enter through the first air inlet. Furthermore, the casing contains an airflow adjustment mechanism that can switch the opening and closing of the first and second air inlets. Therefore, when the external environment is suitable for plant growth, outdoor air can be directly introduced into the storage space through the second air inlet of the indoor unit to improve the environment there, without requiring the indoor unit to operate in cooling or heating mode. Only when the external environment is unsuitable for plant growth does the indoor unit operate in cooling or heating mode to improve the environment inside the storage space. This cleverly utilizes the outdoor air environment and significantly saves energy consumption in the air-conditioned room.

[0044] This invention provides an air-conditioned room for growing plants. Figure 1 and Figure 2 These are schematic structural diagrams of a plant-based air-conditioning room under different states according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 and Figure 4 These are schematic structural cross-sectional views of a plant-based air-conditioning room under different conditions according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 5 yes Figure 3 A schematic enlarged view of part A in the middle. Figure 6 yes Figure 4 A schematic enlarged view of section B in the middle. See also... Figures 1 to 6 The air-conditioned room 1 includes an outer casing 10 and an indoor air-conditioned unit 20.

[0045] The outer casing 10 defines a storage space 11 for accommodating plants, and a ventilation opening 12 is provided thereon. Specifically, the ventilation opening 12 connects the storage space 11 within the outer casing 10 and the indoor space where the outer casing 10 is located. A plant shelf 80 may also be provided within the storage space 11 for placing plants. The outer casing 10 may include a main body 10a having an entrance 10a1 and a door 10b for opening or closing the entrance 10a1. Figure 1 In the middle, door 10b is in the closed state, enclosing entrance / exit 10a1; Figure 2 In the middle, the door 10b is in the open state of the entrance / exit 10a1.

[0046] The indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner is installed in the accommodating space 11 to regulate the air environment within the accommodating space 11.

[0047] Figure 7 This is a schematic exploded view of an air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention. The air conditioner indoor unit 20 of the present invention includes a housing 21 and an airflow regulating mechanism 22.

[0048] The casing 21 has a first air inlet 211 connected to the accommodating space 11 and isolated from the vent 12, a second air inlet 212 connected to the vent 12 and isolated from the accommodating space 11, and at least one air outlet connected to the accommodating space 11. That is, the first air inlet 211 is only connected to the accommodating space 11 and not to the vent 12, allowing only air from the accommodating space 11 to pass through and enter the casing 21. The second air inlet 212 is only connected to the vent 12 and not to the accommodating space 11, allowing only air from the indoor space where the outer casing 10 is located (i.e., the indoor space where the air-conditioned room 1 is located) to pass through and enter the casing 21. There can be one or more air outlets, each connected to the accommodating space 11 to discharge air from the casing 21 into the accommodating space 11.

[0049] The airflow adjustment mechanism 22 is movably disposed inside the housing 21 and has a first state of opening the first air inlet 211 and blocking the second air inlet 212, and a second state of opening the second air inlet 212 and blocking the first air inlet 211, so as to adjust the airflow of the air-conditioned room 1 by switching the state of the airflow adjustment mechanism 22.

[0050] The plant air-conditioning chamber 1 provided by this invention has an outer shell 10 and an indoor air-conditioning unit 20 disposed within the outer shell 10. The outer shell 10 defines a receiving space 11 for placing plants. The indoor air-conditioning unit 20 can regulate the air environment within the receiving space 11, thereby making the air environment of the receiving space 11 more suitable for plant growth, reducing the user's effort, compensating for the user's lack of planting experience, and increasing the user's confidence and enjoyment in planting plants.

[0051] More importantly, the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner has two air inlets on its casing 21. The first air inlet 211 is connected to the accommodating space 11 but isolated from the vent 12 on the outer casing 10, while the second air inlet 212 is isolated from the accommodating space 11 but connected to the vent 12 on the outer casing 10. That is, the indoor unit 20 can allow air from the accommodating space 11 to enter through the first air inlet 211, and also allows air from outside the air-conditioned room 1 to enter through the second air inlet 212. Furthermore, the casing 21 is equipped with an airflow adjustment mechanism 22, which can adjust the opening and closing of the first air inlet 211 and the second air inlet 212 by switching its state. Therefore, when the external environment of the air-conditioned room 1 is suitable for plant growth, the air outside the air-conditioned room 1 can be directly introduced into the accommodating space 11 through the second air inlet 212 of the air-conditioned indoor unit 20 to improve the environment inside the accommodating space 11 without the need for the air-conditioned indoor unit 20 to operate in cooling or heating mode; only when the external environment of the air-conditioned room 1 is not suitable for plant growth will the air-conditioned indoor unit 20 operate in cooling or heating mode to improve the environment inside the accommodating space 11. This cleverly utilizes the air environment outside the air-conditioned room 1 and saves a great deal of energy consumption in the air-conditioned room 1.

[0052] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner also includes a heat exchanger 23 movably disposed within the housing 21 for heat exchange with the airflow flowing through it.

[0053] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 23 is configured to move to the airflow path where the first air inlet 211 is located when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its first state, and to move to the airflow path where the second air inlet 212 is located when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its second state.

[0054] Specifically, when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its first state (see...) Figure 6When the first air inlet 211 is open and the second air inlet 212 is blocked, the heat exchanger 23 moves into the airflow path where the first air inlet 211 is located, so as to make full contact with the airflow entering the casing 21 from the first air inlet 211, thereby enabling the airflow to fully exchange heat with the heat exchanger 23, improving the air conditioning effect of the air conditioning room 1 when the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 is in its first state.

[0055] When the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its second state (see...) Figure 5 In the state shown, the first air inlet 211 is blocked and the second air inlet 212 is open. At this time, the heat exchanger 23 moves into the airflow path of the second air inlet 212 to facilitate full contact with the airflow entering the casing 21 from the second air inlet 212. The compressor of the indoor unit 20 may not be started at this time, but the heat exchanger 23 may still have some residual heat or cold. Therefore, moving the heat exchanger 23 into the airflow path of the second air inlet 212 can fully utilize this residual heat or cold. Furthermore, the heat exchanger 23 can also filter and purify the airflow entering the casing 21 from the second air inlet 212 to a certain extent, thereby improving the cleanliness of the airflow flowing into the accommodating space 11.

[0056] In one specific embodiment, when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its first state, the heat exchanger 23 can move to the inside of the first air inlet 211, and is adjacent to the first air inlet 211 with a certain gap. When the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its second state, the heat exchanger 23 can move to the inside of the second air inlet 212, and is adjacent to the second air inlet 212 with a certain gap.

[0057] In another specific embodiment, when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its first state, the heat exchanger 23 can also move to the inside of the corresponding air outlet; when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its second state, the heat exchanger 23 can also move to the inside of the corresponding air outlet.

[0058] Of course, in some alternative embodiments, the heat exchanger 23 may also be fixedly disposed inside the housing 21. In this case, the heat exchanger 23 is located in the airflow path of the first air inlet 211 so as to exchange heat with the airflow entering the housing 21 from the first air inlet 211, thereby changing the ambient temperature inside the accommodating space 11.

[0059] In some embodiments, the airflow regulating mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23 are configured to rotate synchronously about the same axis. That is, both the airflow regulating mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23 are rotatably disposed within the housing 21, and their rotation is synchronized to avoid positional deviations during rotation, thereby preventing misalignment of the airflow regulating mechanism 22 or the heat exchanger 23 due to misadjustment or error accumulation.

[0060] Specifically, the airflow regulating mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23 are driven by the same drive unit 25 to ensure that they rotate synchronously.

[0061] In some embodiments, the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner further includes a cross-flow fan 24 disposed within the casing 21. The airflow adjustment mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23 are both disposed radially outside the cross-flow fan 24 and rotate synchronously around the axis of the cross-flow fan 24. This facilitates confirmation of the axis positions of the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23, and prevents eccentricity even after multiple rotations of the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23 in the same direction.

[0062] In some embodiments, the housing 21 is cylindrical, and the first air inlet 211, the second air inlet 212, and at least one air outlet are all formed on the side wall of the cylinder and are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the cylinder. That is, the first air inlet 211, the second air inlet 212, and at least one air outlet are all arc-shaped air outlets.

[0063] Furthermore, the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 includes at least one arc-shaped baffle 221 adapted to the shape of the side wall of the cylinder. Thus, the shape of the arc-shaped baffle 221 matches the shape of the first air inlet 211 and the second air inlet 212, which facilitates complete shielding and coverage of the first air inlet 211 or the second air inlet 212, improving the shielding effect.

[0064] Furthermore, the heat exchanger 23 is an arc-shaped heat exchanger adapted to the shape of the side wall of the cylinder. Thus, the shape of the heat exchanger 23 matches the shape of the first air inlet 211 and the second air inlet 212, which is beneficial for uniform heat exchange with the air entering from the first air inlet 211 and for evenly filtering the air entering from the second air inlet 212.

[0065] Preferably, the rotating shafts of the heat exchanger 23 and the airflow regulating mechanism 22 are located at the center of the casing 21. The central angle corresponding to the arc where the heat exchanger 23 is located is greater than the central angle corresponding to the arc where the first air inlet 211 is located, and also greater than the central angle corresponding to the arc where the second air inlet 212 is located. When the heat exchanger 23 is located in the airflow path of the first air inlet 211, air entering from any area of ​​the first air inlet 211 can flow through the heat exchanger 23, thereby fully exchanging heat with the heat exchanger 23. When the heat exchanger 23 is located in the airflow path of the second air inlet 212, air entering from any area of ​​the second air inlet 212 can flow through the heat exchanger 23, thereby being fully purified by the heat exchanger 23.

[0066] Since both the airflow regulating mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23 are rotatable, their rotation trajectories are circular or arc-shaped. Therefore, this invention sets the housing 21 as a cylinder, and places the first air inlet 211, the second air inlet 212, and the air outlet on the side wall of the cylinder. This ensures that the airflow regulating mechanism 22 maintains good shielding with either the first air inlet 211 or the second air inlet 212 after rotation. Furthermore, while ensuring smooth rotation of the airflow regulating mechanism 22 and the heat exchanger 23, the cylindrical housing 21 achieves the highest space utilization and occupies the least amount of space within the accommodating area, demonstrating a very ingenious design.

[0067] In some embodiments, the at least one air outlet includes a first air outlet 213 disposed opposite to the first air inlet 211 and a second air outlet 214 disposed opposite to the second air inlet 212.

[0068] Furthermore, the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is configured to open the first air outlet 213 and block the second air outlet 214 in its first state, and to open the second air outlet 214 and block the first air outlet 213 in its second state. That is, when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in the first state, the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213 are open, and the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214 are blocked. Air in the accommodating space 11 enters the casing 21 through the first air inlet 211 and flows out of the casing 21 through the first air outlet 213. When the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in the second state, the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213 are blocked, and the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214 are open. Air in the indoor space where the air-conditioned room 1 is located enters the casing 21 through the second air inlet 212 and flows out of the casing 21 through the second air outlet 214. Since the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213 are arranged opposite to each other, and the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214 are arranged opposite to each other, the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 can ensure that the airflow inside the casing 21 flows in a straight direction without any change in flow direction, regardless of whether the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 is in the first state or the second state. This reduces the airflow resistance and increases the airflow speed.

[0069] In some embodiments, the housing 21 is cylindrical, and the first air inlet 211, the second air inlet 212, the first air outlet 213, and the second air outlet 214 are all formed on the side wall of the cylinder and are spaced apart along the circumference of the cylinder. That is, the first air inlet 211, the second air inlet 212, the first air outlet 213, and the second air outlet 214 are all arc-shaped air vents with the center of the cylinder as the center.

[0070] Furthermore, the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 includes two arc-shaped baffles 221 adapted to the shape of the side wall of the cylinder. When the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 is in its first state, the two arc-shaped baffles 221 respectively block the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214, and when the airflow adjustment mechanism 22 is in its second state, they respectively block the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213. This effectively prevents air in the flow path between the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213 from flowing out of the housing 21 through the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214, and also effectively prevents air in the flow path between the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214 from flowing out of the housing 21 through the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213, ensuring airflow under various conditions and improving the air quality within the accommodating space 11.

[0071] In some embodiments, two arc-shaped baffles 221 are symmetrically arranged, and two ventilation gaps 222 are formed between the two arc-shaped baffles 221. When the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its first state, the two ventilation gaps 222 are respectively opposite to the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213 to form a passage between the first air inlet 211 and the first air outlet 213; when the airflow regulating mechanism 22 is in its second state, the two ventilation gaps 222 are respectively opposite to the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214 to form a passage between the second air inlet 212 and the second air outlet 214.

[0072] Furthermore, the indoor unit 20 of the air conditioner also includes a heat exchanger 23 disposed within the casing 21 and rotating synchronously with the airflow regulating mechanism 22. The heat exchanger 23 is located in one of the ventilation compartments 222. That is, the positions of the heat exchanger 23 and the arc-shaped baffle 221 are offset from each other, so that the heat exchanger 23 can exchange heat with the airflow flowing through the ventilation compartment 222 or filter the airflow flowing through the ventilation compartment 222.

[0073] In some embodiments, the second air inlet 212 is disposed opposite to and spaced apart from the vent 12 to form a buffer space 13 between the second air inlet 212 and the vent 12. The other sides of the buffer space 13, except for the sides where the second air inlet 212 and the vent 12 are located, are isolated from the accommodating space 11 by a sealing plate 14.

[0074] The sealing plate 14 effectively separates the vent 12 from the other areas of the accommodating space 11 except for the buffer space 13 and the second air inlet 212, so that the outside air entering from the vent 12 can only flow into the buffer space 13 and then into the second air inlet 212.

[0075] The buffer space 13 serves two purposes: firstly, it provides a flow buffer for the air flowing into the air-conditioned room 1 from the vent 12, reducing the resistance encountered by the air and thus increasing the air intake volume of the vent 12; secondly, the buffer space 13 also provides a certain distance buffer, increasing the distance between the second air inlet 212 and the vent 12, preventing the heat or cold energy inside the indoor unit 20 from easily dissipating to the outside of the air-conditioned room 1 due to the close proximity of the second air inlet 212 and the vent 12. Furthermore, the buffer space 13 also provides a certain visual buffer, preventing users from directly looking at the indoor unit 20 through the vent 12, thus improving the aesthetic appearance of the air-conditioned room 1.

[0076] In some embodiments, the air-conditioned room 1 may further include a first temperature sensor 30, which is disposed inside the housing 10 and is used to acquire the temperature inside the accommodating space 11 so as to monitor the temperature inside the accommodating space 11 and lay the foundation for temperature regulation inside the accommodating space 11.

[0077] In some embodiments, the air-conditioned room 1 may further include a second temperature sensor 40, which is disposed outside the housing 10 and is used to obtain the temperature of the space where the air-conditioned room 1 is located, so as to monitor the temperature of the space where the air-conditioned room 1 is located, thereby laying the foundation for fully utilizing the air environment of the space where the air-conditioned room 1 is located to regulate the air environment in the accommodating space 11.

[0078] In some embodiments, the air-conditioned room 1 may further include a light intensity sensor 50, which is disposed inside the housing 10 and is used to acquire the light intensity in the accommodating space 11 so as to monitor the light intensity in the accommodating space 11, thereby laying the foundation for adjusting the light intensity in the accommodating space 11.

[0079] In some embodiments, the air-conditioned room 1 may further include a gas sensor 60 disposed within the housing 10 for acquiring the concentration of the target gas within the containment space 11, so as to monitor the concentration of the target gas within the containment space 11 and thereby lay the foundation for adjusting the concentration of the target gas within the containment space 11.

[0080] In some embodiments, the air-conditioned room 1 may also include a lighting device 70 disposed within the housing 10 for emitting light into the accommodating space 11 to supplement the light intensity within the accommodating space 11, which is beneficial to plant growth.

[0081] The air-conditioned room 1 of the present invention can adjust at least one environmental parameter within the accommodating space 11 by setting a first temperature sensor 30, a second temperature sensor 40, a light intensity sensor 50, a gas sensor 60 and / or a lighting device 70, so as to make it more conducive to plant growth.
