Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, and in particular to a cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air conditioning condensed water. Background Art

[0002] Traditional air conditioners usually use air cooling to dissipate heat, which consumes a lot of energy to drive the fan to cool down. In extremely hot weather, air cooling has poor heat dissipation effect, and the air conditioner host often reports high temperature and shuts down for protection, resulting in poor indoor cooling effect.

[0003] At present, in some large air-conditioning systems, devices are specially designed to use domestic water (such as tap water) for heat dissipation. These devices guide tap water to the vicinity of the condenser through pipes, and use nozzles to atomize the tap water and spray it on the surface of the condenser to achieve heat dissipation and cooling. This method is actually inefficient in heat dissipation and cooling.

[0004] However, using tap water to cool the air conditioner is a huge waste of water resources. At the same time, the existing device that uses tap water to cool the air conditioner cannot adjust the tap water temperature to increase the temperature of the air conditioner condensation, defrosting and snow removal operation in winter. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a new air conditioner cooling device that uses the condensed water generated during the operation of the air conditioner to cool or heat the air conditioner, while saving water resources and achieving cooling, heat dissipation or defrosting and snow removal of the air conditioner in extreme weather (overcold or overheated).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] The embodiment of the present application provides a cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air-conditioning condensed water, thereby solving the problem that the secondary recycling device for air-conditioning condensed water in the prior art wastes water resources and has a single function, and achieves the purpose of enriching the use of air-conditioning condensed water at different ambient temperatures.

[0043] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application is to solve the above technical problems, and the overall idea is as follows:

[0044] The recycling of air conditioning condensate in the prior art is limited to spraying the air conditioning condensate on the surface of the condenser to assist the condenser in heat dissipation and cooling. However, the condensate after heat dissipation and cooling will be lost in vain, wasting a lot of water resources. At the same time, the recycling of air conditioning condensate in the prior art is also limited to using condensate to dissipate heat and cool the condenser. In the cold winter, when the surface of the outdoor unit is frosted and snowed due to the low ambient temperature, it is impossible to dissipate heat well. At present, there is no technology to use condensate to remove snow and defrost the outdoor unit. In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution proposed in this application can cool (or heat up) the condensate when the ambient temperature is high (or low), and then use spraying, penetration and other methods to act on the aluminum foil heat dissipation fins of the outdoor unit to achieve cooling and heat dissipation (or snow removal and defrosting). At the same time, the condensate used for heat dissipation and cooling or heating and defrosting and snow removal is recycled again by using a circulating return water pipeline, and continuously circulated for the above heat dissipation or defrosting and snow removal process. The technical solution of the present application utilizes the condensed water generated by the air conditioner itself, and improves the recycling efficiency of the air conditioner condensed water, saving water resources, and at the same time realizes the use of condensed water in multiple scenarios in high temperature or cold weather, enriching the recycling function of condensed water and extending the service life of the air conditioner.

[0045] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0046] See attached Figure 1-6 The present application proposes a cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air-conditioning condensed water, comprising: a recovery water storage tank 1, a water pump 2, a controller 3, and a condensed water circulation pipeline 4.

[0047] Among them, the condensed water circulation pipeline 4 includes an inlet pipe 41 and a circulating return pipe 42. The inlet end of the inlet pipe 41 is connected to the recovery water tank 1 through the water pump 2, and the outlet end of the inlet pipe 41 is connected to the cooling and heating component 5 used to cool or heat the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8. The inlet end of the circulating return pipe 42 is connected to the water collector 6, and the water collector 6 is used to collect the condensed water that has been used to cool or heat the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8, and the outlet end of the circulating return pipe 42 is connected to the recovery water tank 1, so that the condensed water that has been used to cool or heat the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8 flows back to the recovery water tank 1.

[0048] The recovery water storage tank 1 is connected to the condensed water recovery device in the air conditioner, specifically to the air conditioner condensed water recovery pipe, for collecting and storing the condensed water generated by the operation of the air conditioner. The water pump 2 is used to pump the condensed water in the recovery water storage tank 1 into the water inlet pipe 41. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the water pump 2 and the power supply, and is used to control the start and stop of the water pump 2.

[0049] The cooling and heating component 5 is used to cool down or defrost and remove snow for the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8 by using the cooled / heated condensed water according to the ambient temperature of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8.

[0050] In one embodiment of the present application, in order to protect the water pump 2, controller 3 and other components, a preferred method is that the cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air-conditioning condensed water further includes a box body 7, and the recovery water storage tank 1, water pump 2, controller 3 and other components are reasonably distributed and installed in the box body 7. At this time, preferably, the condensed water circulation pipeline 4 extends to the outside of the box body 7 through the through hole opened on the box body 7, and is connected to the corresponding pipeline of the cooling and heating component 5.

[0051] The cooling and heating component 5 is installed on the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8, and is used to dissipate heat, cool down, or defrost and remove snow from the aluminum foil heat sink fins on the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8. In the technical solution of the present application, the specific form and installation method of the cooling and heating component 5 are not limited, and can be a condensed water conveying copper pipe 51, a permeator 52, a sprinkler head 53, a drip irrigation cooling pipe 54, an atomizer (not shown in the figure), etc. Other components or structures based on the water cooling principle that use condensed water to cool or heat the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8 are also within the protection scope of the present application.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the cooling and heating component 5 is a condensate conveying copper pipe 51, specifically Figure 1 As shown. Several of the above-mentioned condensate delivery copper tubes 51 are installed in the aluminum foil heat sink fins of the air conditioner outdoor unit 8, and the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 is connected to the water inlet ends of all condensate delivery copper tubes 51, and the water inlet end of the circulating return pipe 42 is connected to the water collector 6 connected to the water outlet ends of all condensate delivery copper tubes 51. The condensate after cooling / heating is pressurized by the water pump 2 and enters the condensate delivery copper tube 51 through the water inlet pipe 41, then flows out from the water outlet of the condensate delivery copper tube 51 and enters the water collector 6, then enters the circulating return pipe 42, and finally flows back to the recovery water storage tank 1. In this process, the cooled / heated condensate will take away the heat of the aluminum foil heat sink fins or increase the temperature of the aluminum foil heat sink fins, thereby realizing the cooling, heat dissipation, defrosting and snow removal of the aluminum foil heat sink fins.

[0053] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the actual installation, the condensate conveying copper pipe 51 is an integral, continuously bent "U"-shaped pipe, and the condensate conveying copper pipe 51 is evenly inserted and laid in the aluminum foil heat sink fins. The water outlet end of the condensate conveying copper pipe 51 is connected to the water collector 6.

[0054] Furthermore, when the cooling and heating component 5 uses a condensate water transport copper tube 51, the water outlet end of the condensate water transport copper tube 51 can be integrated with the water collector 6, or the water collector 6 can be directly omitted, and the condensate flowing out of the water outlet of the condensate water transport copper tube 51 can be directly connected to the circulating return pipe 42 and returned to the recovery water storage tank 1.

[0055] In another embodiment, the cooling and heating component 5 is a permeator 52, such as Figure 2 As shown. Several of the permeators 52 will be installed and fixed on the upper end of the aluminum foil heat sink fins, or clamped on the edge of the outdoor unit, and just above the aluminum foil heat sink fins, and the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 is connected to the water inlet end of all the permeators 52. The structure of the permeator 52 can be specifically seen in Figure 3 , including a water inlet, a stainless steel baffle, and a water-absorbing sponge fixed to the bottom of the stainless steel baffle. After being cooled / heated, the condensed water is pressurized by the water pump 2 and enters the permeator 52 through the water inlet pipe 41, then slowly seeps out and flows to the aluminum foil heat sink fins, thereby taking away the heat of the aluminum foil heat sink fins / increasing the temperature of the aluminum foil heat sink fins, thereby achieving cooling and heat dissipation / defrosting and snow removal of the aluminum foil heat sink fins. After the condensed water is cooled / heated by the aluminum foil heat sink fins, it flows into the water collector 6 along the aluminum foil heat sink fins, and then flows back to the recovery water storage tank 1 through the circulating return pipe 42 connected to the water collector 6. In actual settings, the water collector 6 is generally positioned higher than the circulating return pipe 42 to facilitate the return of the condensed water after use into the recovery water storage tank 1.

[0056] In another embodiment, the cooling and heating component 5 is a shower head 53, and the specific structure of the shower head 53 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown. Several of the above-mentioned spray heads 53 are arranged at different positions around the aluminum foil heat sink fins through a bracket, and at the same time, the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe 41 is connected to all the spray heads 53, and the water inlet end of the circulating return pipe 42 is connected to the water collector 6 located below the aluminum foil heat sink fins for collecting condensed water recovered after spraying. The condensed water after cooling / heating is pressurized by the water pump 2 and enters the spray head 53 through the water inlet pipe 41, and then the spray head 53 sprays the condensed water to cool / heat the aluminum foil heat sink fins. The condensed water after cooling / heating the aluminum foil heat sink fins flows into the water collector 6 along the aluminum foil heat sink fins, and then flows back to the recovery water storage tank 1 through the circulating return pipe 42 connected to the water collector 6. In this process, the cooled / heated condensed water is sprayed on the aluminum foil heat sink fins, which will take away the heat of the aluminum foil heat sink fins / increase the temperature of the aluminum foil heat sink fins, thereby realizing the cooling and heat dissipation / defrosting and snow removal of the aluminum foil heat sink fins.

[0057] In other embodiments, the cooling and heating component 5 may also be a drip irrigation cooling pipe 54 or an atomizer. When the cooling and heating component 5 is a drip irrigation cooling pipe 54, its specific installation method and specific connection method with the condensed water circulation pipeline 4 can refer to the implementation method when the cooling and heating component 5 is a permeator 52, and will not be repeated here. The specific structure of the drip irrigation cooling pipe 54 is as follows: Figure 5 When the cooling and heating component 5 is an atomizer (not shown in the figure), its specific installation method and specific connection method with the condensed water circulation pipeline 4 can refer to the implementation method when the cooling and heating component 5 is a spray head 53, which will not be repeated here.

[0058] In addition, in order to further improve the cooling and heat dissipation / defrosting and snow removal effects of the aluminum foil heat sink, in specific implementation, the cooling and heating component 5 can also be any combination of the condensed water delivery copper pipe 51, the permeator 52, the sprinkler head 53, the drip irrigation cooling pipe 54, the atomizer, etc., that is, two, three or more cooling and heating components 5 are selected at the same time to be combined to improve the cooling and heat dissipation / defrosting and snow removal effects. When the cooling and heating component 5 is in a variety of combinations, the above-mentioned specific installation method and pipeline connection method can be referred to.

[0059] Since the temperature of the condensed water may not be at a suitable temperature for cooling or heating, in order to improve the efficiency of cooling and heat dissipation or heating and defrosting and snow removal of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 8, in one embodiment, the cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air-conditioning condensed water proposed in this application also includes a temperature control component 9, which is used to adjust the temperature (i.e., cool or heat) of the condensed water in the recovery water storage tank 1. The temperature control component 9 is electrically connected to the controller 3 through the thermostat 13, and then controls the working state of the temperature control component 9 by controlling the on and off of the current. Among them, the temperature control component 9 includes a heater, which is arranged at the bottom of the recovery water storage tank 1. Preferably, the heater is an electric heating wire, a heating rod or a heating tube.

[0060] In any of the above embodiments, the controller 3 selects an intelligent spray atomization controller, model S-2000. The controller 3 has a built-in transformer, which can be transformed according to actual needs. The circuit diagram of the control system for controlling the secondary recovery of air conditioning condensate water in the above embodiment to cool down and dissipate heat or heat up and defrost and remove snow is as shown in the following figure. Figure 7 shown.

[0061] In actual operation, after the air conditioner main unit is turned on, the air conditioner outdoor unit 8 starts to work, and then the outdoor unit needs to be cooled down for heat dissipation or heated up for defrosting and snow removal. In addition, if the ambient temperature of the air conditioner outdoor unit 8 is suitable, there is no need to cool down or heat up the outdoor unit. In order to save energy, in a preferred embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air-conditioning condensed water also includes a host operating condition monitoring module 10, which is electrically connected to the controller 3. The host operating condition monitoring module 10 feeds back the monitored operating condition data of the host to the controller 3, and then the controller 3 sends a signal to control the working state of the temperature control component 9. Among them, the host operating condition monitoring module 10 includes a host start-stop monitoring unit and an outdoor unit temperature detection unit. Among them, the host start-stop monitoring unit is used to monitor the working state of the air-conditioning host, that is, the start-stop of the air-conditioning host, and the outdoor unit temperature detection unit is used to monitor the ambient temperature of the outdoor unit. The host start-stop monitoring unit and the outdoor unit temperature detection unit are both electrically connected to the controller 3. Specifically, the host start-stop monitoring unit includes a current transformer for sensing the start-stop of the air-conditioning compressor, specifically a current transformer M3050; the outdoor unit temperature detection unit includes a temperature detection sensor for monitoring the ambient temperature. It is electrically connected to the thermostat 13. The specific model of the temperature detection sensor is not limited here, as long as the temperature detection function can be realized.

[0062] In addition, in a preferred embodiment, a water level sensor 11 and a drain valve 12 are also provided in the recovery water storage tank 1, and the water level sensor 11 and the drain valve 12 are both connected to the controller 3. When the water level in the water tank rises to exceed the preset maximum value of the water level in the recovery water storage tank 1, a drain signal is activated, and the drain valve 12 is opened to drain the excess condensed water in the water tank, so as to prevent the condensed water from overflowing excessively and damaging the air conditioning device. Specifically, the water level sensor 11 is preferably a water tank level gauge.

[0063] Furthermore, in order to prevent the temperature control component 9 from continuing to work and damaging the recovery water tank 1 and other related equipment when the water level in the recovery water tank 1 is too low, an anti-dry burning protection level gauge 14 is also provided in the recovery water tank 1, which is electrically connected to the controller 3.

[0064] The working principle of the cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air conditioning condensed water in this application is:

[0065] 1) In summer, when the ambient temperature of the air conditioner host is high and the evaporator needs to be cooled:

[0066] After the air conditioner is started, the current transformer senses the start of the air conditioner compressor and sends a signal to the main power relay KA. The condensate recovery device in the air conditioner starts and begins to collect condensate. When the condensate in the water tank reaches a preset height, the controller 3 controls the built-in circulating water pump 2 to start and extract condensate, which is then transported to the water inlet of the cooling and heating component 5 (for example, the condensate transport copper tube 51, the permeator 52, the sprinkler head 53, the drip irrigation cooling tube 54, the atomizer, etc.) through the water inlet pipe 41 to circulate the heat and cool the cooling fins of the air conditioner outdoor unit.

[0067] After the air conditioner is turned off, the current transformer sends a power-off signal, the main power relay KA is powered off, the main power supply of the condensate recovery device is cut off, the condensate recovery device stops working, the equipment stops running, and the water pump 2 stops working. The condensate that takes away the heat from the evaporator enters the circulation return pipe 42 and returns to the recovery water storage tank 1 again.

[0068] The built-in heating rod in the recovery water storage tank 1 is controlled by a thermostat. Since the ambient temperature detected by the thermostat is always higher than 10 degrees in summer (the set temperature value of the thermostat is set to 10 degrees), the thermostat is always in a disconnected state, and the electric heating rod is also always in a power-off state.

[0069] 2) In winter, when the ambient temperature of the air conditioner host is low and the evaporator needs to be heated to remove snow and defrost:

[0070] After the air conditioner outdoor unit is started, the current transformer detects that the air conditioner main unit has been started, and sends a signal to the main power relay KA, the circuit power is turned on, and the built-in switch power supply of the condensing device outputs 12V DC voltage and current. When the water level in the detected recovery water storage tank 1 reaches the preset value, the electric heating rod starts to heat the condensed water. After the water tank temperature monitor detects that the condensed water is heated to the maximum temperature of 50 degrees (the preset heating temperature is 50 degrees), the electric heating rod is powered off, and the water pump 2 starts to start the heat cycle, extracting the heated condensed water, and transporting it to the water inlet of the cooling and heating component 5 through the water inlet pipe 41, the heat dissipation fins of the air conditioner outdoor unit are heated to defrost and remove snow.

[0071] In addition, when the water level sensor 11 monitors that the water level in the water tank rises above the preset maximum value of the water level in the recovery water storage tank 1, the drainage signal is activated, and the drainage valve 12 opens to drain the excess condensed water in the water tank.

[0072] In summary, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0073] 1. A cooling and heating device for secondary recovery of air-conditioning condensed water proposed in the present application comprises: a recovery water storage tank, a water pump, a controller, and a condensed water circulation pipeline, wherein the condensed water circulation pipeline comprises a water inlet pipe and a circulation return pipe, the water inlet end of the water inlet pipe is connected to the recovery water storage tank through a water pump, the water outlet end of the water inlet pipe is connected to a cooling and heating component, the cooling and heating component is used to cool or heat the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the water inlet end of the circulation return pipe is connected to a water collector, the water collector is used to collect the condensed water after cooling or heating the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the water outlet end of the circulation return pipe is connected to the recovery water storage tank, and the water pump is electrically connected to the controller.
