[0062] The heat pipe type fresh air machine in the prior art only relies on the phase change of the liquid working medium inside the heat pipe under the action of pressure difference to exchange heat and recover energy, and has problems of insufficient power of the liquid working medium, low heat exchange efficiency, insufficient energy recovery, and difficulty in guaranteeing indoor comfort, which seriously affects the user's experience. Therefore, the present application provides a fresh air machine as shown in
[0063] The heat pipe 2 comprises a first heat exchange part 21, an adiabatic part 22 and a second heat exchange part 23, the first heat exchange part 21 and the second heat exchange part 23 are communicated with each other through the adiabatic part 22, the first heat exchange part 21 is located in the fresh air channel 11, the second heat exchange part 23 is located in the return air channel 12, and the flow rate adjusting mechanism 3 is communicated with the first heat exchange part 21. Wherein, the heat pipe 2 flows with heat exchange working medium, when the heat exchange working medium flows into the first heat exchange part 21, the heat exchange working medium can release heat in the first heat exchange part 21 to heat the fresh air, at this time, the heat exchange working medium is condensed into liquid state due to heat release, and when the heat exchange working medium flows into the second heat exchange part 23, the return air can absorb heat of the heat exchange working medium in the second heat exchange part 23 when flowing through the second heat exchange part 23, thereby realizing the effect of recovering the heat of the return air, at this time, the heat exchange working medium is evaporated into gaseous state due to heat absorption, the passive flow of the heat exchange working medium in the heat pipe 2 is realized by using the pressure difference generated by the state change of the heat exchange working medium, and the adiabatic part 22 can avoid the heat transfer between the first heat exchange part 21 and the second heat exchange part 23 through the pipe wall of the heat pipe 2. Since the heat exchange working medium is mostly in liquid state in the first heat exchange part 21, the flow rate adjusting mechanism 3 is communicated with the first heat exchange part 21, the liquid heat exchange working medium in the first heat exchange part 21 is driven by using the flow rate adjusting mechanism 3, thereby improving the ability of the liquid heat exchange working medium to flow to the second heat exchange part 23, and further improving the flow rate of the heat exchange working medium at the second heat exchange part 23, improving the heat exchange capacity of the heat pipe 2 and the energy recovery capacity of the return air, realizing maximum energy saving under the premise of ensuring indoor comfort, and improving the user experience.
[0064] Specifically, the shape of the heat pipe 2 is a pipe similar to a ring shape to ensure the circulation flow of the heat exchange working medium, wherein the first heat exchange part 21 comprises a return flow section 211 and an outflow section 212, the first end of the return flow section 211 is communicated with the second heat exchange part 23 through the adiabatic part 22, the second end of the return flow section 211 is communicated with the first end of the outflow section 212 through the flow rate adjusting mechanism 3, and the second end of the outflow section 212 is communicated with the second heat exchange part 23 through the adiabatic part 22.

Since all heat pipes 2 are communicated with the flow rate adjusting mechanism 3 at the same time, the liquid working medium between all heat pipes 2 can be mixed and then uniformly distributed, further ensuring that all heat pipes 2 can work synchronously and with the same efficiency, and the heat exchange efficiency of the fresh air machine is ensured.

When the fin structure is used, the heat exchange area is increased from the pipe surface area of the heat pipe 2 to the sum of the pipe surface area and the surface area of the fin structure, which improves the heat transfer capacity between the heat exchange working medium and the gas outside the heat pipe 2, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pipe 2.
[0069] Similarly, the second heat exchange part 23 is provided with a fin structure. When the fin structure is used, the heat exchange area is increased from the pipe surface area of the heat pipe 2 to the sum of the pipe surface area and the surface area of the fin structure, which improves the heat transfer capacity between the heat exchange working medium and the gas outside the heat pipe 2, thereby effectively improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat pipe 2.
