[0002] In existing ventilation equipment, when air is supplied through a single centrifugal duct, the centrifugal duct includes an upper supply duct, a fan blade cavity, and a lower supply duct arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper supply duct and the fan blade cavity are connected through the upper outlet of the fan blade cavity, and the lower supply duct and the fan blade cavity are connected through the lower outlet of the fan blade cavity. If upward air supply is required, the lower outlet of the fan blade cavity is closed, and the air in the fan blade cavity is discharged through the upper supply duct.

When air is supplied through dual centrifugal ducts, the cooperation of the two centrifugal ducts is required to achieve a large air volume supply upward or downward.

[0054] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the content disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0055] The terminology used in the embodiments of this invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the invention. The singular forms “a,” “the,” and “the” used in the embodiments of this invention and the appended claims are also intended to include the plural forms, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. “Multiple” generally includes at least two, but does not exclude the inclusion of at least one.
[0056] It should be understood that the term "and / or" used in this article is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.
[0057] It should also be noted that the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a product or system comprising a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a product or system. Without further limitation, an element defined by the phrase "comprising one..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the product or system that includes said element.
[0058] In existing ventilation equipment, when air is supplied through a single centrifugal duct, if upward air supply is required, the lower outlet of the fan blade cavity is closed, and the air inside the fan blade cavity is discharged through the upper air supply duct; if downward air supply is required, the upper outlet of the fan blade cavity is closed, and the air inside the fan blade cavity is discharged through the lower air supply duct. However, this solution has a small air volume, low air supply efficiency, and large air supply pressure loss. When air is supplied through dual centrifugal ducts, the cooperation of the two centrifugal ducts is required to achieve a large air volume supply upward or downward; however, this solution has a complex structure, occupies a large space, and has uneven air volume.
[0059] The present invention creatively provides an air duct device, including an air duct shell, wherein the air duct shell is formed with a main air duct and a secondary air duct arranged side by side;
[0060] The main air duct includes an upper air supply duct, a blade cavity, and a lower air supply duct. The blade cavity has a blade cavity outlet A, a blade cavity outlet B, and a blade cavity inlet. The lower part of the upper air supply duct is connected to the blade cavity outlet A, and the upper part of the upper air supply duct has an upper air supply outlet. The upper part of the lower air supply duct is connected to the blade cavity outlet B, and the lower part of the lower air supply duct has a lower air supply outlet. The secondary air duct has a secondary air supply outlet and a secondary air supply outlet. An upper connecting port is formed between the upper air supply duct and the secondary air duct, and a lower connecting port is formed between the lower air supply duct and the secondary air duct.
[0061] When both the upper and lower connecting ports are closed, neither the upper nor lower air supply duct is connected to the secondary air duct; a portion of the air inside the fan blade cavity can be discharged through the upper air supply duct, and another portion of the air can be discharged through the lower air supply duct, thereby achieving simultaneous air output from the upper and lower parts.
[0062] When the upper connecting port is opened and the lower connecting ports are closed, part of the air in the fan blade cavity can be discharged through the lower air supply duct, and the other part of the air can be discharged through the lower air outlet auxiliary flow path, thereby achieving lower air outlet;
[0063] When the upper connecting port is closed and the lower connecting port is opened, part of the air in the fan blade cavity can be discharged through the upper air supply duct, and the other part of the air can be discharged through the upper air outlet auxiliary flow path, thereby achieving upper air outlet;
[0064] It has a simple structure, occupies little space, has a large air volume, uniform air volume, and high air delivery efficiency.
[0065] Example 1
[0066] like Figures 1 to 2c As shown, this embodiment provides a duct device for cabinet-type air handling equipment, especially for cabinet-type air conditioners. The height direction of the cabinet-type air handling equipment is vertical. The duct device includes a duct shell 1, and the duct shell 1 forms a main duct and a secondary duct 17 arranged side by side. Specifically, the main duct and the secondary duct 17 are arranged side by side on a horizontal plane, and both the main duct and the secondary duct 17 extend in the vertical direction.
[0067] The main air duct includes an upper air supply duct 13, a fan blade cavity 15, and a lower air supply duct 14 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. A fan blade 16 is installed inside the fan blade cavity 15. The fan blade 16 is connected to a fan blade motor, which drives the fan blade 16 to rotate. Preferably, the fan blade 16 is a centrifugal fan blade. The fan blade cavity 15 has a fan blade cavity outlet A 151 formed on its radially upper side, a fan blade cavity outlet B 152 formed on its radially lower side, and a fan blade cavity inlet 153 formed axially. The fan blade cavity inlet 153 can be formed on one or both sides of the axial direction of the fan blade cavity 15. The fan blade cavity outlet A 151... Both the outlet 152 and the inlet 153 of the fan blade cavity B are connected to the fan blade cavity 15; the lower part of the upper air supply duct 13 is connected to the outlet 151 of the fan blade cavity A, and the upper part of the upper air supply duct 13 forms an upper outlet of the air supply duct; the upper part of the lower air supply duct 14 is connected to the outlet 152 of the fan blade cavity B, and the lower part of the lower air supply duct 14 forms a lower outlet of the air supply duct; at least one fan blade cavity 15 is provided, and when multiple fan blade cavities 15 are provided, the multiple fan blade cavities 15 are connected vertically in sequence, and the layout design can be carried out according to the air duct form to improve the air volume of the whole machine; in this embodiment, there is one fan blade cavity 15.
[0068] The upper part of the secondary air duct 17 has an upper outlet 171 and the lower part has a lower outlet 172.
[0069] An upper connection port 181 is formed between the upper air supply duct 13 and the secondary air duct 17. The upper connection port 181 can be controlled to be opened or closed.
[0070] When the upper connecting port 181 is closed, the upper air supply duct 13 and the secondary air duct 17 are not connected; when the upper connecting port 181 is opened, the upper air supply duct 13 and the secondary air duct 17 form a lower air outlet secondary flow path between the fan blade cavity A outlet 151 and the lower outlet 172 of the secondary air duct; that is, the part of the upper air supply duct 13 between the fan blade cavity A outlet 151 and the upper connecting port 181 is connected to the part of the secondary air duct 17 between the upper connecting port 181 and the lower outlet 172 of the secondary air duct to form a lower air outlet secondary flow path.
[0071] A lower connecting port 182 is formed between the lower air supply duct 14 and the secondary air duct 17. The lower connecting port 182 can be controlled to be opened or closed.
[0072] When the lower connecting port 182 is closed, the lower air supply duct 14 and the secondary air duct 17 are not connected; when the lower connecting port 182 is opened, the lower air supply duct 14 and the secondary air duct 17 form an upper air outlet secondary flow path between the fan blade cavity B outlet 152 and the lower outlet 172 of the secondary air duct; that is, the part of the lower air supply duct 14 between the fan blade cavity B outlet 152 and the lower connecting port 182 is connected to the part of the secondary air duct 17 between the lower connecting port 182 and the lower outlet 172 of the secondary air duct to form an upper air outlet secondary flow path.
[0073] When both the upper connecting port 181 and the lower connecting port 182 are closed, neither the upper air supply duct 13 nor the lower air supply duct 14 is connected to the auxiliary air supply duct 17. Air outside the fan blade cavity 15 can enter the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153. Part of the air inside the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the fan blade cavity A outlet 151 and the upper air supply duct 13, and another part of the air inside the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the fan blade cavity B outlet 152 and the lower air supply duct 14. Thus, the air duct device can achieve simultaneous air outlet from the top and bottom, multi-channel air outlet, large air supply volume and uniform air supply volume, expand the air supply range and extend the air supply distance.
[0074] When the upper connecting port 181 is closed and the lower connecting port 182 is open, the upper air supply duct 13 is not connected to the secondary air supply duct 17. The upper air supply duct 13 is the main upper air outlet path. The lower air supply duct 14 and the secondary air supply duct 17 form an upper air outlet secondary flow path between the B outlet 152 of the fan blade cavity and the upper outlet 171 of the secondary air supply duct. Air outside the fan blade cavity 15 can enter the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153. A part of the air inside the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the main upper air outlet path, and another part of the air inside the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the upper air outlet secondary flow path. Thus, the air duct device can achieve upper air outlet. With the help of the secondary air supply duct 17, multi-channel air outlet can be achieved, with large and uniform air supply volume, expanding the air supply range and extending the air supply distance.
[0075] When the upper connecting port 181 is opened and the lower connecting port 182 is closed, the lower air supply duct 14 and the secondary air supply duct 17 are not connected. The lower air supply duct 14 is the main downward air outlet path. The upper air supply duct 13 and the secondary air supply duct 17 form a lower downward air outlet secondary flow path between the A outlet 151 of the fan blade cavity and the lower outlet 172 of the secondary air supply duct. Air outside the fan blade cavity 15 can enter the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153. A part of the air inside the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the main downward air outlet path, and another part of the air inside the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the lower downward air outlet secondary flow path. Thus, the air duct device can realize downward air outlet. With the help of the secondary air supply duct 17, multi-channel air outlet can be realized, with large and uniform air supply volume, expanding the air supply range and extending the air supply distance.
[0076] In summary, by controlling the upper connecting port 181 and the lower connecting port 182 to be in corresponding states, the upper air supply duct 13, the lower air supply duct 14 and the auxiliary air duct 17 can be connected or disconnected, thus achieving air outlet in different directions. The structure is simple, the air supply efficiency is high and the air outlet is uniform, solving the problems of small air volume and low air outlet efficiency when using a single centrifugal air duct in existing ventilation equipment, and the complex structure and uneven air volume when using a double centrifugal air duct.

[0106] When the upper connecting port 181 is closed and the lower connecting port 182 is open, the upper air supply duct 13 is not connected to the secondary air duct 17. The upper air supply duct 13 is the main upper air outlet path. The lower air supply duct 14 and the secondary air duct 17 form an upper air outlet secondary flow path between the fan blade cavity B outlet 152 and the upper outlet 171 of the secondary air duct.

[0112] In summary, when the upper windshield mechanism is in the first working position and the lower windshield mechanism is in the third working position, neither the upper air supply duct 13 nor the lower air supply duct 14 is connected to the auxiliary air supply duct 17. At this time, the air duct device can operate in a simultaneous upper and lower air supply mode.

[0116] A double-suction centrifugal fan blade can be installed inside the fan blade cavity 15; when the fan blade 16 rotates, all air can enter the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153; this improves the air intake efficiency of the fan blade cavity 15 and increases the air supply volume, resulting in good heating and cooling effects when applied to cabinet air conditioners.
[0117] Each fan blade cavity 15 is provided with multiple fan blades 16 arranged side by side; preferably, each fan blade cavity 15 is provided with two fan blades 16 arranged side by side.
[0118] Example 4
[0119] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a cabinet air conditioner, including an indoor unit. The indoor unit includes an indoor heat exchanger 4 and an air duct device. The air duct device is the air duct device described in any one of Embodiments 1 to 3. The indoor heat exchanger 4 is disposed on the air inlet side of the fan blade cavity inlet 153. Specifically, the indoor heat exchanger 4 is disposed between the fan blade cavity inlet 153 on the axial rear side of the fan blade cavity 15 and the rear panel.
[0120] When the fan blade 16 rotates, a portion of the indoor air enters the air inlet cavity through the upper air inlet 332, and another portion of the indoor air enters the air inlet cavity through the lower air inlet 341. When the air in the air inlet cavity flows through the indoor heat exchanger 4, it completes heat exchange with the indoor heat exchanger 4, and then enters the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153.
[0121] When the cabinet air conditioner is in air supply mode, the upper deflector mechanism can be in the first working position and the lower deflector mechanism can be in the third working position, and the indoor unit can operate in a mode of simultaneous upper and lower air supply. Indoor air is simultaneously introduced through the upper air inlet 332 and the lower air inlet 341 and enters the air inlet cavity. The air in the air inlet cavity enters the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153. A portion of the air in the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the upper air supply duct 13, the upper air outlet duct 211 and the upper air outlet 331, and another portion of the air in the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the lower air supply duct 14, the lower air outlet duct 221 and the lower air outlet 311.
[0122] When the cabinet air conditioner is in cooling mode, the upper baffle mechanism can be in the first working position and the lower baffle mechanism in the fourth working position, and the indoor unit can operate in the upper air outlet mode. Indoor air is simultaneously drawn in through the upper air inlet 332 and the lower air inlet 341 and enters the air inlet cavity. The air in the air inlet cavity enters the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153. A portion of the air in the fan blade cavity 15 is discharged through the upper air outlet main path and the upper air outlet duct 211, and another portion of the air in the fan blade cavity 15 is discharged through the upper air outlet secondary path and the upper air outlet duct 211. The air discharged from the fan blade cavity outlet 152 is effectively utilized, so that the air in the upper air outlet main path and the upper air outlet secondary path merges in the upper air outlet duct 211, thereby increasing the cooling upper air outlet volume.
[0123] When the cabinet air conditioner is in heating mode, the upper baffle mechanism can be in the second working position and the lower baffle mechanism in the third working position, and the indoor unit can operate in the downward air outlet mode. Indoor air is simultaneously drawn in through the upper air inlet 332 and the lower air inlet 341 and enters the air inlet cavity. The air in the air inlet cavity enters the fan blade cavity 15 through the fan blade cavity inlet 153. A portion of the air in the fan blade cavity 15 is discharged through the lower main air outlet path and the lower air outlet duct 221, and another portion of the air in the fan blade cavity 15 is discharged through the lower secondary air outlet path and the lower air outlet duct 221. The air discharged from the fan blade cavity A outlet 151 is effectively utilized, so that the air in the lower main air outlet path and the lower secondary air outlet path merges in the lower air outlet duct 221, thereby increasing the downward air outlet volume during heating.
[0124] By designing the main air duct and the secondary air duct 17, the design takes into account the air volume, diversified air supply, cooling and heating comfort, and appearance. The structure is simple, the overall size is small, the space occupied is small, and the overall aesthetics are good. It has a large air volume, uniform air supply, and obvious cooling and heating effects. It reduces the temperature difference of indoor air in the vertical direction, making the indoor air comfortable and solving the problems of small air volume, uneven air supply, and poor cooling and heating effects in existing cabinet air conditioners with top or bottom air outlets.
[0125] In summary, ① a technical upgrade is made to the single centrifugal fan distributed air supply device, utilizing the "bypass diversion" principle and "overflow compensation" technology to fully utilize the overall layout space, while also considering the aesthetic upgrade and optimization as well as the different comfort requirements for heating and cooling air supply. A secondary air duct 17 is designed next to the main air duct, and the main air duct and secondary air duct 17 are connected through an upper connecting port 181 and a lower connecting port 182, achieving "all air outlets at the top for cooling and all air outlets at the bottom for heating" for the single centrifugal fan platform; the upper air inlet 332 is designed on the rear side of the top plate 33, the upper air outlet 331 is designed on the front side of the top plate 33, and the lower air inlet 341 is designed on the... The lower air outlet 311 is designed at the lower end of the front panel 31 on the rear side of the base plate 34, realizing a hidden air inlet and outlet. By supplying air to multiple air ducts with a single fan, and by independently designing the upper air inlet 332, lower air inlet 341, upper air outlet 331 and lower air outlet 311 but controlling them differently, it can achieve all-dimensional air supply regulation such as simultaneous air intake and exhaust at the top and bottom, simultaneous air intake at the top and exhaust at the top, and simultaneous air intake at the bottom and exhaust at the bottom. This breaks through the technical bottlenecks of "large vertical temperature difference" and "low air volume" of single-suction single centrifugal fan distributed air supply air conditioners, and improves the market competitiveness of this fan air conditioner with low cost and high technology.
[0126] ② In existing technologies, a mechanical method is used to design a moving mechanism near the fan blade cavity 15 in the air supply duct to force the airflow to change direction. Due to the abrupt structural change, airflow loss occurs, resulting in air volume loss, and the airflow impacting the solid wall generates abnormal noise. Considering the overall layout space, a connecting port is designed on the same side of the diffuser section of the upper air supply duct 13 and the lower air supply duct 14 to connect the main air duct and the secondary air duct 17. The "gradient optimization method" is used to design the connection position between the main air duct and the secondary air duct 17, effectively utilizing all the airflow generated by the fan blade 16, reducing airflow impact, and effectively increasing the air supply volume through the convergence of airflow in the main air duct and the secondary air duct 17, thereby improving the overall efficiency of the machine. Efficiency; achieving full cooling at the top and full heating at the bottom, reducing energy loss; specifically: when full top air outlet is required, the lower connecting port 182 is opened, and the air in the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the upper main air outlet path and the upper secondary air outlet path; when full bottom air outlet is required, the upper connecting port 181 is opened, and the air in the fan blade cavity 15 can be discharged through the lower main air outlet path and the lower secondary air outlet path; effectively utilizing the air in the fan blade cavity 15, increasing the air volume in one direction; effectively reducing airflow loss caused by the mechanical structure in the air supply duct and fan blade cavity 15, eliminating abnormal noise caused by airflow impacting the solid wall surface in traditional methods, and solving the problem of large vertical temperature difference in distributed air supply air conditioning.
