Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of energy-saving equipment, and in particular to an energy-saving unit, a control method and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Under the dual pressure of global energy shortage and environmental protection, the demand for energy-saving units is becoming increasingly prominent. With the acceleration of industrialization and the improvement of people's living standards, energy consumption has increased dramatically, especially the widespread use of air conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment, which has led to a surge in energy demand. However, traditional units have low energy efficiency and serious energy waste, which not only increases operating costs but also aggravates environmental pollution. Therefore, developing high-efficiency energy-saving units, reducing energy consumption, and improving energy utilization efficiency have become the key to promoting green economy and achieving sustainable development. Energy-saving units can not only reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, but also help enterprises reduce operating costs and enhance market competitiveness. In this context, the research and development and application of energy-saving units are of great significance to promoting energy conservation and emission reduction, ensuring energy security, and building a low-carbon society.

[0003] At present, the water baffles used to block and guide the flow of condensed water in energy-saving units on the market are fixed in position. Therefore, the energy-saving units cannot automatically adjust the position of the water baffles according to dynamic changes in the environment and different working conditions. This design leads to the following problems:

[0004] 1) The fixed-position water baffle cannot be adjusted according to the actual working conditions, resulting in a constant flow resistance. This constant flow resistance not only affects the flow efficiency of the condensed water, but may also cause poor water flow and affect the overall performance of the unit.

[0005] 2) Since the water baffle is fixed in position, it is easy to be damaged by water flow impact and corrosion during long-term operation, thus shortening the service life of the water baffle. This not only increases maintenance costs, but may also affect the normal operation of the unit.

[0006] 3) Constant flow resistance will cause the unit to fail to achieve optimal operating state under different operating conditions, increase unnecessary energy consumption and reduce energy utilization efficiency.

[0007] Therefore, the prior art needs to be further developed. Summary of the invention

At the same time, a water baffle assembly 3 is also provided in the shell 1, and the water baffle assembly can be movably arranged between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12, so that the water baffle assembly 3 can be dynamically adjusted according to different working conditions. The control assembly 4 is arranged on the shell 1, and is used to obtain the current outdoor humidity, and according to the obtained current outdoor humidity, the position of the water baffle assembly 3 is adaptively adjusted. It can be seen that the position of the water baffle assembly 3 can be adaptively adjusted according to the current outdoor humidity through the control assembly 4, so as to ensure that the energy-saving unit can maintain the optimal operating state under different environmental conditions and different working conditions. Specifically, dynamically adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3 can bring the following benefits: by dynamically adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3, the air flow path can be optimized, effectively reducing the energy consumption and maintenance costs of the unit while also improving the overall operating performance and environmental adaptability of the system. At the same time, the intelligent dynamic adjustment of the water baffle assembly 3 can be achieved through the control component 4, which significantly improves the water-blocking efficiency and energy utilization efficiency of the energy-saving unit, while reducing the wear of the water baffle assembly and extending the service life of the energy-saving unit. In addition, by dynamically adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3, the fluctuations in the operation of the system can be reduced, and the stability and reliability of the system can be improved. In addition, by optimizing the humidity of the air, the comfort of the indoor environment can also be improved, especially in high humidity or low humidity environments. In addition, by optimizing the air flow path, energy efficiency can be improved and energy waste can be reduced, thereby helping to reduce carbon emissions and meeting environmental protection requirements. The energy-saving unit of the present invention can effectively solve the technical problem that the energy-saving unit in the prior art cannot automatically adjust the position of the water baffle according to dynamic changes in the environment and different working conditions.

[0044] Optionally, the control component 4 is an electric control box.

[0045] Alternatively, if Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are respectively located at two ends of the housing 1. An installation space is provided in the housing 1, and the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 are both connected to the installation space. The evaporator 2 and the water baffle assembly 3 are both located in the installation space.

[0046] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4As shown, the energy-saving unit also includes: a foam plate assembly 5, the foam plate assembly 5 is located in the shell 1, and the foam plate assembly 5 is installed on each side wall of the shell 1; a placement cavity 50 is provided in the foam plate assembly 5, and the placement cavity 50 is located between the air outlet 12 and the evaporator 2; wherein the water baffle assembly 3 has a first position and a second position; when the energy-saving unit does not need to dehumidify, the control component 4 controls the water baffle assembly 3 to move into the placement cavity 50 so that the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the first position; when the energy-saving unit performs dehumidification, the control component 4 controls the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the side of the evaporator 2 close to the air outlet 12 so that the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the second position.

[0047] With such a structural setting, by opening a placement cavity 50 in the foaming plate assembly 5, when the energy-saving unit does not need to dehumidify, the water baffle assembly 3 can be adjusted to move into the placement cavity 50, so that the water baffle assembly 3 is in the first position (i.e., the avoidance position); and then the air treated by the evaporator 2 is avoided, thereby ensuring the energy-saving unit is at a minimum and reducing the power required for the operation of the energy-saving unit. At the same time, placing the water baffle assembly 3 in the placement cavity 50 can prevent the water baffle assembly 3 from contacting the air, thereby reducing the wear of the water baffle assembly 3, extending the service life of the water baffle assembly 3, and further saving costs. At the same time, when the energy-saving unit is performing dehumidification work, the water baffle assembly 3 is adjusted to move to the side of the evaporator 2 close to the air outlet 12, so that the water baffle assembly 3 is set between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12. At this time, the water baffle assembly 3 is in the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position), and then at least part of the moisture in the air treated by the evaporator 2 can be blocked to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12; thereby effectively improving the water blocking efficiency in the dehumidification state. In addition, by moving the adjustable water baffle assembly 3 to the side of the evaporator 2 close to the air outlet 12, the moisture content in the air can be effectively controlled, the comfort of the indoor environment can be improved, especially in a high humidity environment, and the user experience is improved.

[0048] Optionally, the initial position of the water baffle assembly 3 is the first position (ie, the avoidance position), and when dehumidification is required, the water baffle assembly 3 is switched from the first position (ie, the avoidance position) to the second position (ie, the dehumidification position).

[0049] Optionally, the foam plate assembly 5 is located in the installation space.

[0050] Furthermore, the foam plate assembly 5 includes a plurality of foam plates 51, and the plurality of foam plates 51 are sequentially mounted on the side walls of the shell 1, so that the side walls of the shell 1 are fully covered by the plurality of foam plates 51. At the same time, the plurality of foam plates 51 are also sequentially mounted on the bottom wall and the top wall of the shell 1 to fully cover the bottom wall and the top wall of the shell 1. Each foam plate 51 forms an installation cavity, and the evaporator 2, the water baffle assembly 3, the filter 9 and the blower 10 are all located in the installation cavity. A placement cavity 50 is provided in the foam plate 51 located between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12 and on the side wall of the shell 1, and connecting holes connected to the installation cavity are respectively provided on both sides of the placement cavity 50, so that the water baffle assembly 3 can move in different positions.

[0051] Alternatively, if Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the placement cavity 50 extends along the length direction of the housing 1 (i.e., extends in the X-axis direction). Figure 2 The arrow A shown is the length direction of the housing 1 .

[0052] Optionally, when the energy-saving unit is turned on, the control component 4 obtains the current outdoor humidity, and then determines whether to perform dehumidification based on the current outdoor humidity. If not, the water baffle component 3 is controlled to remain stationary in the first position (i.e., the avoidance position). At this time, the energy-saving unit is in a normal working mode. If dehumidification is required, the water baffle component 3 is controlled to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position), so that the water baffle component 3 is set between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air processed by the evaporator 2 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. At this time, the energy-saving unit performs dehumidification (i.e., the energy-saving unit is in a dehumidification mode).

[0053] In addition, in addition to the placement cavity 50 provided in the foam plate assembly 5, a placement groove may be provided on the side of the foam plate assembly 5 close to the evaporator 2, so that when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the avoidance position, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to move into the placement groove. Alternatively, a protective cover is provided in the shell, and the protective cover is arranged near the side wall of the shell 1, and the foam plate assembly 5 and the protective cover enclose a placement cavity, so that when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the avoidance position, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to move into the placement cavity.

[0054] Preferably, a placement cavity 50 is provided in the foaming plate assembly 5, so that the space in the housing 1 can be fully utilized, unnecessary space waste can be avoided, and space utilization can be improved. By reasonably designing the position and size of the placement cavity 50, the structure of the entire energy-saving unit can be made more compact, saving installation space.

[0055] Optionally, the foaming plate 51 is an integrated foaming plate.

[0056] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the energy-saving unit also includes: a first guide assembly 13 and a second guide assembly, the first guide assembly 13 is arranged in the housing 1, and the first guide assembly 13 is located at a side of the evaporator 2 close to the air outlet 12; the first guide assembly 13 is spaced apart from the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12 respectively; the first guide assembly 13 has a first guide portion; the second guide assembly is arranged in the placement cavity 50, and the second guide assembly has a second guide portion; the first guide portion is connected to the second guide portion, and the first guide portion and the second guide portion both extend along a preset track; the water baffle assembly 3 is movably arranged on the first guide portion and the second guide portion along the preset track, so that the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position or the second position. With such a structural arrangement, by arranging the first guide assembly 13 and the second guide assembly, and the first guide portion of the first guide assembly 13 is connected to the second guide portion of the second guide assembly, and the first guide portion and the second guide portion both extend along the preset track, it can be ensured that the water baffle assembly 3 can be accurately moved to the desired position (the first position or the second position), thereby realizing accurate control of the air flow path. Furthermore, the water baffle assembly 3 can be quickly adjusted according to different working conditions to ensure that the system is always in the best operating state. The guidance of the first guide part and the second guide part can make the movement of the water baffle assembly 3 more stable, reduce the resistance of air flow, and improve the efficiency of air treatment.

[0057] The preset trajectory refers to a preset path for guiding the water baffle assembly 3 to move on the first guide portion and the second guide portion. This trajectory ensures that the water baffle assembly 3 can switch between different positions smoothly and accurately, thereby achieving precise control of the air flow path.

[0058] Optionally, in order to enable the water baffle assembly 3 to move smoothly and smoothly switch between the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) and the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position), the first guide portion and the second guide portion are connected with rounded corners. The rounded corner connection can reduce the resistance encountered by the water baffle assembly 3 during movement, ensure its smooth movement, and avoid jamming and wear.

[0059] Optionally, the first guide portion is a first guide rail, the second guide portion is a second guide rail, the first guide rail and the second guide rail are connected, and both the first guide rail and the second guide rail extend along a preset track, and the first guide rail and the second guide rail are connected with rounded corners.

[0060] Optionally, the first guide assembly 13 is located in the installation cavity.

[0061] When the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position (ie, the avoidance position), the water baffle assembly 3 is located on the first guide portion. When the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the second position (ie, the dehumidification position), the water baffle assembly 3 is located on the second guide portion.

[0062] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the energy-saving unit also includes: a humidifier 6, which is arranged in the shell 1, and the humidifier 6 is located between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12; the humidifier 6 is communicated with the control component 4 to control the start and stop of the humidifier 6; wherein, when the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position, the water baffle assembly 3 is located between the evaporator 2 and the humidifier 6; the water baffle assembly 3 also has a third position, when the energy-saving unit performs humidification work, the control component 4 controls the humidifier 6 to turn on, and controls the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the side of the humidifier 6 close to the air outlet 12, so that the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the third position.

[0063] With such a structural setting, by setting the humidifier 6 to be able to adjust the humidity in the target area, the comfort of the indoor environment can be improved, especially in a dry environment, the humidifier can increase the humidity in the air to avoid problems such as dry skin and respiratory discomfort, thereby improving the user experience. The start and stop of the humidifier 6 is accurately controlled by the control component 4 to ensure that it is started in time when humidification is needed to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. In addition, when the energy-saving unit is humidifying (that is, the energy-saving unit is in the humidification mode), the control component 4 controls the humidifier 6 to turn on while controlling the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the third position (that is, the humidification position), thereby ensuring that the humidifier 6 effectively improves the water-blocking efficiency while humidifying, thereby effectively preventing moisture from escaping from the air outlet, reducing the impact on the surrounding environment, and keeping the target area dry and tidy. In addition, better humidification effect and reduced moisture leakage can improve the user experience and improve the satisfaction of the equipment.

[0064] Optionally, the humidifier 6 is spaced apart from the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12, respectively. When the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), the water baffle assembly 3 is spaced apart from the evaporator 2 and the humidifier 6, respectively. When the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the third position (i.e., the humidifying position), the water baffle assembly 3 is spaced apart from the humidifier 6 and the air outlet 12, respectively.

[0065] Optionally, the humidifier 6 is located in the installation cavity.

[0066] Optionally, the humidifier 6 is a high-pressure fine mist humidifier.

[0067] Furthermore, the water baffle assembly 3 can be adjusted to a first position (ie, an avoidance position), a second position (ie, a dehumidification position), or a third position (ie, a humidification position) according to different situations.

[0068] Optionally, when the energy-saving unit is turned on, the control component 4 obtains the current outdoor humidity, and then determines whether to perform dehumidification based on the current outdoor humidity. If not, the water baffle component 3 is controlled to remain stationary in the first position (i.e., the avoidance position). At this time, the energy-saving unit is in a normal working mode. If dehumidification is required, the water baffle component 3 is controlled to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position), so that the water baffle component 3 is set between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air processed by the evaporator 2 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. At this time, the energy-saving unit performs dehumidification (i.e., the energy-saving unit is in a dehumidification mode). If humidification is required, the humidifier 6 is controlled to be turned on. At the same time, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the third position (i.e., the humidification position), so that the water baffle assembly 3 is set between the humidifier 6 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air treated by the humidifier 6 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. At this time, the energy-saving unit performs humidification work (i.e., the energy-saving unit is in humidification mode).

[0069] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the energy-saving unit also includes: a second guide assembly and a third guide assembly 7, the second guide assembly is arranged in the placement cavity 50, and the second guide assembly has a second guide portion; the third guide assembly 7 is arranged in the housing 1, and the third guide assembly 7 is located at a side of the humidifier 6 close to the air outlet 12; the third guide assembly 7 is spaced apart from the humidifier 6 and the air outlet 12 respectively; the third guide assembly 7 has a third guide portion; the second guide portion is connected to the third guide portion, and the second guide portion and the third guide portion both extend along a preset track; the water baffle assembly 3 is movably arranged on the second guide portion and the third guide portion along the preset track, so that the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the second position or the third position. With such a structural arrangement, by arranging the second guide assembly and the third guide assembly 7, and the second guide portion of the second guide assembly is connected to the third guide portion of the third guide assembly 7, and the second guide portion and the third guide portion both extend along the preset track, it can be ensured that the water baffle assembly 3 can be accurately moved to the desired position (the first position or the third position), thereby realizing accurate control of the air flow path. Furthermore, the water baffle assembly 3 can be quickly adjusted according to different working conditions to ensure that the system is always in the best operating state. The guidance of the second guide part and the third guide part can make the movement of the water baffle assembly 3 more stable, thereby improving the efficiency of air treatment.

[0070] Furthermore, the first guide portion and the third guide portion are located at both ends of the second guide portion, the first guide portion is connected to the third guide portion through the second guide portion, and the first guide portion, the second guide portion and the third guide portion all extend along a preset trajectory, ensuring that the water baffle assembly 3 can be smoothly and accurately switched between the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) and the third position (i.e., the humidification position), thereby achieving precise control of the air flow path.

[0071] Optionally, in order to enable the water baffle assembly 3 to move smoothly and smoothly switch between the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) and the third position (i.e., the humidification position), the third guide portion and the second guide portion are connected with rounded corners. The rounded corner connection can reduce the resistance encountered by the water baffle assembly 3 during movement, ensure its smooth movement, and avoid jamming and wear.

[0072] Optionally, the third guide portion is a third guide rail, the third guide rail is connected to the second guide rail, and the third guide rail and the second guide rail both extend along a preset track, and the third guide rail and the second guide rail are connected with rounded corners.

[0073] Optionally, the third guide assembly 7 is located in the installation cavity.

[0074] When the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the third position (ie, the humidifying position), the water baffle assembly 3 is located on the third guide portion.

[0075] Specifically, the energy-saving unit also includes: a driving component, which is drivingly connected to the water baffle assembly 3 to drive the water baffle assembly 3 to move; the driving component is communicatively connected to the control component 4; and the control component 4 is used to control the movement of the driving component.

[0076] Furthermore, when the control component 4 determines that the position of the water baffle assembly 3 needs to be adjusted based on the current outdoor humidity obtained, the control component 4 sends a signal to the driving component to control the driving component to move, thereby driving the water baffle assembly 3 to move through the driving component, so that the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the specified position.

[0077] Optionally, the driving component is a first driving motor.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 5As shown, the water baffle assembly 3 includes: at least two water baffles 31 connected in sequence, at least two water baffles 31 are arranged in sequence along a preset direction, and at least two water baffles 31 are arranged equidistantly; a gas flow channel is formed between two adjacent water baffles 31 of at least two water baffles 31, and the gas flow channel extends in the direction from the air inlet 11 to the air outlet 12; wherein, the water baffle assembly 3 is connected to the control assembly 4, and the control assembly 4 adjusts the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 of at least two water baffles 31 according to the position of the water baffle assembly 3 and / or the current air volume information to adjust the flow area of ​​at least one gas flow channel. With such a structural setting, the flow area of ​​the gas flow channel can be accurately controlled by adjusting the relative position between the water baffles 31 according to the current air volume information by the control assembly 4, thereby realizing accurate control of the air volume. According to different air volume requirements, the water baffle assembly 3 can dynamically adjust the flow area of ​​the gas flow channel to ensure that the system is always in the best operating state, thereby reducing the power required for the operation of the energy-saving unit.

[0079] Further, when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) or the third position (i.e., the humidification position), the control assembly 4 adjusts the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 according to the current wind volume information obtained, thereby adjusting the flow area of ​​each gas circulation channel. When the water baffle assembly 3 needs to move from the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) or needs to move from the third position (i.e., the humidification position) to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), the control assembly 4 first adjusts the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle assembly 3 to the minimum value, and then the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) (i.e., when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the first position, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is at the minimum value).

[0080] Optionally, the water retaining sheets 31 are arranged in parallel.

[0081] Optionally, when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the second position (ie, the dehumidification position) or the third position (ie, the humidification position), both ends of each gas flow channel are connected to the air inlet 11 and the air outlet 12 respectively.

[0082] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the water baffle assembly 3 also includes: an adjusting component 32, at least a portion of which is movably arranged, and the adjusting component 32 is used to adjust the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31; a control component 4 is connected to the adjusting component 32, and the control component 4 is used to control at least a portion of the movement of the adjusting component 32.

[0083] Specifically, Figures 5 to 8As shown, the adjusting component 32 includes: a linkage chain 321 which is telescopically arranged, and the linkage chain 321 is respectively connected to each water baffle 31, so that each water baffle 31 is driven to move through the movement of the linkage chain 321, so as to adjust the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31; wherein the linkage chain 321 has a tension state and a compression state, and when the linkage chain 321 is in the tension state, the linkage chain 321 drives two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 to move away from each other, so that the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is increased; when the linkage chain 321 is in the compression state, the linkage chain 321 drives two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 to move closer to each other, so that the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is reduced. With such a structural arrangement, the relative positions of two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 can be precisely controlled through the tension and compression state of the linkage chain 321, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the gas flow channel.

[0084] Specifically, Figure 5 As shown, the adjusting component 32 also includes: a driving member 322, which is drivingly connected to the linkage chain 321 to drive the linkage chain 321 to move through the driving member 322; a control component 4 is connected to the driving member 322, and the control component 4 is used to control the movement of the driving member 322.

[0085] Furthermore, when the control component 4 adjusts the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 according to the position of the water baffle assembly 3 and / or the current wind volume information, the control component 4 sends a signal to the driving member 322 to control the driving member 322 to move, thereby driving the linkage chain 321 to stretch or compress through the driving member 322, thereby adjusting the flow area of ​​each gas circulation channel.

[0086] Optionally, there are two driving members 322, which are respectively located at the two ends of the linkage chain 321, and the driving members 322 at the two ends of the linkage chain 321 drive the two ends of the linkage chain 321 to move in a direction away from each other, so as to stretch the linkage chain 321. Alternatively, the driving members 322 at the two ends of the linkage chain 321 drive the two ends of the linkage chain 321 to squeeze toward the middle, so as to compress the linkage chain 321 (i.e., the length of the linkage chain 321 is shortened).

[0087] Optionally, the driving member 322 is a second driving motor.

[0088] Furthermore, if Figures 6 to 8As shown, the linkage chain 321 includes a plurality of chain bodies 3211; each chain body 3211 is rotatably connected in sequence, and circular holes are provided at both ends of each chain body 3211. Each water retaining sheet 31 is connected to the linkage chain 321 through the nodes of the circular holes close to each other in two adjacent chain bodies 3211, thereby ensuring that each water retaining sheet 31 can move with the movement of the linkage chain 321.

[0089] Optionally, when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) or the third position (i.e., the humidification position), the control assembly 4 controls the driving members 322 at both ends of the linkage chain 321 to move according to the current wind volume information obtained, thereby driving the linkage chain 321 to move, so that the linkage chain 321 is in a tension state and a compression state, thereby adjusting the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 to adjust the flow area of ​​each gas circulation channel. When the water baffle assembly 3 needs to move from the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) or needs to move from the third position (i.e., the humidification position) to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), the control assembly 4 first controls the driving members 322 at both ends of the linkage chain 321 to move, thereby driving the linkage chain 321 to be compressed, and compressed to the minimum distance, so as to adjust the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 of the water baffle assembly 3 to the minimum value. When the adjustment is completed, the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) (i.e., when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the first position, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is at the minimum value).

[0090] Optionally, the energy-saving unit has multiple air volume gears, and as the level of the gear increases, the air volume also increases. Each air volume gear corresponds to a preset relative distance value between two adjacent water baffles 31. When the energy-saving unit is adjusting the air volume, every time the wind speed reaches the limit of the corresponding air volume gear, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in the water baffle assembly 3 is adjusted to the preset value corresponding to the air volume gear. Alternatively, when the energy-saving unit is adjusting the air volume, the control component 4 determines the gear of the air volume by obtaining the current air volume, and adjusts the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in the water baffle assembly 3 to the preset value corresponding to the air volume gear according to the gear.

[0091] The highest air volume level corresponds to the minimum value of the relative distance between two adjacent water retaining plates 31 in the water retaining plate assembly 3 , and the lowest air volume level corresponds to the maximum value of the relative distance between two adjacent water retaining plates 31 in the water retaining plate assembly 3 .

[0092] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4As shown, the energy-saving unit also includes: a temperature and humidity sensor 8, which is arranged on the shell 1, and the temperature and humidity sensor 8 is used to detect the outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity in real time; the temperature and humidity sensor 8 is connected to the control component 4, and the temperature and humidity sensor 8 is used to send the detected outdoor temperature and outdoor humidity to the control component 4.

[0093] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the energy-saving unit further includes: a filter 9 , which is disposed in the housing 1 and located between the air inlet 11 of the housing 1 and the evaporator 2 , and is used to filter the air coming in from the air inlet 11 of the housing 1 .

[0094] Specifically, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the energy-saving unit further includes: an air blower 10, which is disposed in the housing 1 and located at the air outlet 12, and is used to deliver the treated air into the target area.

[0095] Optionally, the filter 9 and the blower 10 are both located in the installation cavity.

[0096] Optionally, the filter 9 , the evaporator 2 , the first guide assembly 13 , the humidifier 6 , the second guide assembly and the blower 10 are sequentially arranged in a spaced relationship in the direction from the air inlet 11 to the air outlet 12 in the housing 1 (ie, in the installation cavity).

[0097] Optionally, when the energy-saving unit is turned on (i.e., the blower 10 is turned on), the temperature and humidity sensor 8 detects the outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature, and sends the detected outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature to the control component 4. After the control component 4 obtains the current outdoor humidity, it determines whether to dehumidify or humidify according to the current outdoor humidity. At the same time, outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11.

[0098] If dehumidification is not required, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to remain in the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), and the energy-saving unit is in a normal working mode. The outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11 and then passes through the filter 9, the evaporator 2, and the blower 10 in sequence to enter the target area. At this time, the humidifier 6 is in the off state.

[0099] If dehumidification is required, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position), so that the water baffle assembly 3 is set between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air treated by the evaporator 2 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. After the outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11, it passes through the filter 9, the evaporator 2, the water baffle assembly 3 and the blower 10 in sequence and enters the target area. At this time, the humidifier 6 is in the off state. And the energy-saving unit performs dehumidification work (i.e., the energy-saving unit is in the dehumidification mode).

[0100] If humidification is required, the humidifier 6 is controlled to be turned on. At the same time, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the third position (i.e., the humidification position), so that the water baffle assembly 3 is set between the humidifier 6 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air treated by the humidifier 6 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. After the outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11, it passes through the filter 9, the evaporator 2, the humidifier 6, the water baffle assembly 3 and the blower 10 in sequence to enter the target area. At this time, the energy-saving unit performs humidification (i.e., the energy-saving unit is in the humidification mode).

[0101] The present invention provides an air conditioner, comprising: an energy-saving unit, the energy-saving unit being the energy-saving unit of the above embodiment. The technical effects achieved by the air conditioner are the same as those achieved by the energy-saving unit of the above embodiment, which will not be described in detail here.

[0102] The present invention provides a control method, which is applicable to the energy-saving unit of the above embodiment, such as Fig. 9 As shown, the control method includes:

[0103] S11, obtaining the current outdoor humidity.

[0104] S12, adaptively adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3 according to the acquired current outdoor humidity.

[0105] By adopting such a control method, the current outdoor humidity is obtained, and the position of the water baffle assembly 3 is adaptively adjusted according to the current outdoor humidity obtained. It can ensure that the energy-saving unit can maintain the optimal operating state under different environmental conditions and different working conditions. Specifically, dynamically adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3 can bring the following benefits: by dynamically adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3, the air flow path can be optimized, which effectively reduces the energy consumption and maintenance cost of the unit while improving the overall operating performance and environmental adaptability of the system. At the same time, the intelligent dynamic adjustment of the water baffle assembly 3 is realized, which significantly improves the water-blocking efficiency and energy utilization efficiency of the energy-saving unit, reduces the wear of the water baffle assembly, and extends the service life of the energy-saving unit. And, by dynamically adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3, the fluctuations in the operation of the system can be reduced, and the stability and reliability of the system can be improved. In addition, by optimizing the humidity of the air, the comfort of the indoor environment can also be improved, especially in high humidity or low humidity environments. And, by optimizing the air flow path, energy efficiency can be improved and energy waste can be reduced, thereby helping to reduce carbon emissions and meet environmental protection requirements. The energy-saving unit of the present invention can effectively solve the technical problem that the energy-saving unit in the prior art cannot automatically adjust the position of the water baffle according to the dynamic changes of the environment and different working conditions.

[0106] Specifically, the method for adaptively adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3 according to the comparison result includes: if the current outdoor humidity is less than a first preset threshold value and greater than a second preset threshold value, controlling the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the first position so that the water baffle assembly 3 avoids the air coming out of the evaporator 2; if the current outdoor humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value, controlling the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the second position so that the water baffle assembly 3 blocks at least part of the moisture in the air coming out of the evaporator 2; wherein the first preset threshold value is greater than the second preset threshold value.

[0107] By adopting such a control method, if the current outdoor humidity is less than the first preset threshold value and greater than the second preset threshold value, it means that the current outdoor humidity meets the user's needs, and the water baffle assembly 3 is adjusted to move into the placement cavity 50, so that the water baffle assembly 3 is in the first position (i.e., the avoidance position); and then the air coming out of the evaporator 2 is avoided, thereby ensuring that the energy-saving unit is the lowest and reducing the power required for the operation of the energy-saving unit. At the same time, placing the water baffle assembly 3 in the placement cavity 50 can prevent the water baffle assembly 3 from contacting the air, thereby reducing the wear on the water baffle assembly 3, extending the service life of the water baffle assembly 3, and further saving costs. If the current outdoor humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, it means that the current outdoor humidity is relatively humid and does not meet the user's needs, and dehumidification is required. Therefore, the water baffle assembly 3 is adjusted to move to the side of the evaporator 2 close to the air outlet 12, so that the water baffle assembly 3 is set between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12. At this time, the water baffle assembly 3 is in the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position), and can block at least part of the moisture in the air coming out of the evaporator 2 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12; thereby effectively improving the water blocking efficiency in the dehumidification state. In addition, by adjusting the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the side of the evaporator 2 close to the air outlet 12, the moisture content in the air can be effectively controlled, which can improve the comfort of the indoor environment, especially in a high humidity environment, and improve the user experience.

[0108] Among them, the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold both refer to the environmental parameter limits set during the design or operation process. The first preset threshold is equal to the sum of the set humidity value and the correction value set by the user; the second preset threshold is equal to the difference between the set humidity value and the correction value set by the user. It can be understood that when the current outdoor humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold, it means that the air is relatively humid and needs to be dehumidified; when the current outdoor humidity is less than the second preset threshold, it means that the air is relatively dry (the current outdoor humidity is low) and needs to be humidified. For example: when the user sets the moisture content target to 10g / kg (the correction value is 2g / kg), after the energy-saving unit is turned on, the temperature and humidity sensor 8 detects the inlet air temperature and humidity, and converts it into relative humidity data or moisture content data. When it exceeds 12g / kg, dehumidification is performed, and when it is lower than 8g / kg, humidification is performed.

[0109] The correction value is the value set in the design.

[0110] Specifically, the method of adaptively adjusting the position of the water baffle assembly 3 according to the comparison result also includes: if the current outdoor humidity is less than or equal to the second preset threshold value, controlling the water baffle assembly 3 to move to the third position, and controlling the humidifier 6 to turn on, so that the water baffle assembly 3 blocks at least part of the moisture in the air passing through the humidifier 6. With such a control method, the humidity in the target area can be adjusted by the humidifier 6, which can improve the comfort of the indoor environment. Especially in a dry environment, the humidifier can increase the humidity in the air to avoid problems such as dry skin and respiratory discomfort, thereby improving the user experience. By accurately controlling the start and stop of the humidifier 6, it is ensured that it is started in time when humidification is required to avoid unnecessary energy consumption. In addition, when the energy-saving unit is humidifying (that is, the energy-saving unit is in the humidification mode), the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to move to the third position (that is, the humidification position) while controlling the humidifier 6 to turn on, thereby ensuring that the humidifier 6 effectively improves the water blocking efficiency while humidifying, thereby effectively preventing moisture from escaping from the air outlet, reducing the impact on the surrounding environment, and keeping the target area dry and tidy. In addition, better humidification effect and reduced water leakage can improve user experience and increase equipment satisfaction.

[0111] Specifically, the control method also includes: if the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the second position or the third position, the current wind volume information is obtained; the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is adjusted according to the current wind volume information obtained, so as to adjust the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31. With such a control method, the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is adjusted according to the current wind volume information obtained, and then the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is adjusted, so as to accurately control the flow area of ​​the gas circulation channel. Accurate control of the air volume is achieved. According to different air volume requirements, the water baffle assembly 3 can dynamically adjust the flow area of ​​the gas circulation channel to ensure that the system is always in the best operating state, thereby reducing the power required for the operation of the energy-saving unit.

[0112] Furthermore, a method for adjusting the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 according to the acquired current wind volume information so as to adjust the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 includes: if the wind volume is divided into N gears, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is inversely proportional to the gear of the current wind volume.

[0113] Furthermore, if the wind volume is divided into N gears, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is inversely proportional to the gear of the current wind volume. Specifically, the higher the gear of the current wind volume is, the smaller the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is.

[0114] Optionally, the energy-saving unit has multiple air volume gears, and as the level of the gear increases, the air volume also increases. Each air volume gear corresponds to a preset relative distance value between two adjacent water baffles 31. When the energy-saving unit is adjusting the air volume, every time the wind speed reaches the limit of the corresponding air volume gear, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in the water baffle assembly 3 is adjusted to the preset value corresponding to the air volume gear. Alternatively, when the energy-saving unit is adjusting the air volume, the control component 4 determines the gear of the air volume by obtaining the current air volume, and adjusts the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in the water baffle assembly 3 to the preset value corresponding to the air volume gear according to the gear.

[0115] The highest air volume level corresponds to the minimum value of the relative distance between two adjacent water retaining plates 31 in the water retaining plate assembly 3 , and the lowest air volume level corresponds to the maximum value of the relative distance between two adjacent water retaining plates 31 in the water retaining plate assembly 3 .

[0116] Specifically, the control method further includes: if the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the first position, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is the minimum value. By adopting such a control method, if the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the first position, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is adjusted to the minimum value, so that the overall size of the water baffle assembly 3 can be significantly reduced. The reduction in the size of the water baffle assembly 3 can effectively reduce the space occupied by the placement cavity 50 and improve the space utilization rate in the shell 1. By optimizing the space utilization, the structure of the entire energy-saving unit can be made more compact, saving installation space.

[0117] Optionally, the specific steps of the control method of this embodiment are:

[0118] Step 100, when the energy-saving unit is turned on (i.e., the blower 10 is turned on), the temperature and humidity sensor 8 detects the outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature, and sends the detected outdoor humidity and outdoor temperature to the control component 4. After the control component 4 obtains the current outdoor humidity, it compares the obtained current outdoor humidity with the first preset threshold and the second preset threshold to determine whether to dehumidify or humidify. At the same time, the outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11. At this time, the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the first position (i.e., the avoidance position).

[0119] Step 102, if the current outdoor humidity is less than the first preset threshold value and greater than the second preset threshold value, the water baffle assembly 3 is controlled to remain in the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), and the energy-saving unit is in a normal working mode. The outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11 and passes through the filter 9, the evaporator 2 and the blower 10 in sequence to enter the target area. At this time, the humidifier 6 is in the off state.

[0120] Step 103, if the current outdoor humidity is greater than or equal to the first preset threshold value, the energy-saving unit enters the dehumidification mode, and the control component 4 controls the water baffle component 3 to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) along the preset trajectory, so that the water baffle component 3 is set between the evaporator 2 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air coming out of the evaporator 2 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. After the outdoor air enters the housing through the air inlet 11, it passes through the filter 9, the evaporator 2, the water baffle component 3 and the blower 10 in sequence and enters the target area. At this time, the humidifier 6 is in the off state.

[0121] Step 104, when the current outdoor humidity is less than or equal to the second preset threshold value, the energy-saving unit enters the humidification mode, and the control component 4 controls the humidifier 6 to turn on. At the same time, the control component 4 controls the water baffle assembly 3 to move from the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) to the third position (i.e., the humidification position) along the preset trajectory, so that the water baffle assembly 3 is set between the humidifier 6 and the air outlet 12, thereby blocking at least part of the moisture in the air treated by the humidifier 6 to prevent excessive moisture from entering the air outlet 12. The outdoor air enters the shell through the air inlet 11 and passes through the filter 9, evaporator 2, humidifier 6, water baffle assembly 3 and blower 10 in sequence to enter the target area.

[0122] Step 105, if the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the second position or the third position, obtain the current wind volume information; adjust the relative position between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 according to the current wind volume information obtained, so as to adjust the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31. Specifically, if the water baffle assembly 3 is located at the second position or the third position, and the wind volume gear is increased (that is, when the wind speed is increased), the control component 4 passes the current wind volume and then sends a signal to the water baffle assembly 3. After receiving the signal, the water baffle assembly 3 reduces the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31, so that the gap between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is reduced, thereby improving the water blocking efficiency. If the water baffle assembly 3 is in the second position or the third position, and the wind volume gear is lowered (i.e., the wind speed is lowered), the control assembly 4 passes the current wind volume and then sends a signal to the water baffle assembly 3. After receiving the signal, the water baffle assembly 3 increases the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31, so that the gap between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is enlarged, thereby reducing wind resistance and reducing the power required for the operation of the energy-saving unit.

[0123] Step 106, if the water baffle assembly 3 needs to move from the second position (i.e., the dehumidification position) to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) or needs to move from the third position (i.e., the humidification position) to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position), the control component 4 sends a signal to the water baffle assembly 3. After receiving the signal, the water baffle assembly 3 reduces the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31, so that the gap between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is minimized. When the adjustment is completed, the water baffle assembly 3 moves to the first position (i.e., the avoidance position) (i.e., when the water baffle assembly 3 is in the first position, the relative distance between two adjacent water baffles 31 in each water baffle 31 is at the minimum value).
