DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only 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.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the present invention provides a technical solution: a power generation air conditioner that converts the pressure kinetic energy of refrigerant liquid and gas into electrical energy, comprising an air conditioning compressor 1, a connecting pipe 2 is fixedly connected to the exhaust port of the air conditioning compressor 1, and a refrigerant booster pump 3 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting pipe 2, a fluid turbine 4 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting pipe 2 away from the exhaust port, a base 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the fluid turbine 4, and a first fixing plate 9 and a second fixing plate 10 are respectively threadedly connected to the top of the base 5, a generator 11 is threadedly connected between the first fixing plate 9 and the second fixing plate 10, a first pulley 6 is rotatably connected between the fluid turbine 4 and the first fixing plate 9 through a bearing and a rotating shaft, a second pulley 7 is rotatably connected between the generator 11 and the first fixing plate 9 through a bearing and a rotating shaft, a transmission belt 8 is transmission-connected between the first pulley 6 and the second pulley 7, a circuit board 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 5, and the circuit board 14 is electrically connected to the generator 11, a pair of connecting wires 12 are fixedly connected to the top of the circuit board 14, and the circuit board 14 is electrically connected to a battery 13 through the connecting wires 12.

[0019] During use of this solution, one or more refrigerant booster pumps 3 are connected to the exhaust port and return air port pipelines of the air-conditioning compressor 1. The refrigerant booster pump 3 can be used to perform secondary pressurization on the discharged liquid gas to increase its pressure energy. The pressurized liquid gas is introduced into the fluid turbine 4. The fluid turbine 4 rotates under the impetus of the liquid gas to generate kinetic energy. The fluid turbine 4 is transmission-connected to the generator 11. Through the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy, the kinetic energy generated by the fluid turbine 4 is efficiently converted into electrical energy. The generated electricity can be reversely input into the air-conditioning compressor 1 as its power source to realize the circulation of electricity. At the same time, electricity can also be stored in the battery 13 for use by other power equipment, further improving the efficiency of energy utilization. In view of the long length of the air-conditioning condenser pipeline, the present invention proposes to set a boosting and power generation device on multiple sections of condenser pipelines to generate more power supply. This multi-section connection method can significantly increase the power output of the system. Since the refrigerant booster pump 3 requires less power, and the generated liquid-gas pressure kinetic energy generates a large amount of power, the overall amount of electricity generated exceeds the power required for boosting, forming a virtuous cycle in which high-pressure gas energy is greater than energy consumption.

[0020] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pair of arc-shaped pieces are fixedly connected to opposite sides of the first fixing piece 9 and the second fixing piece 10, and the arc-shaped pieces are threadedly connected to the top end of the base 5 through bolts.

[0021] During use, the present invention can facilitate installation and disassembly between the first fixing plate 9 and the second fixing plate 10 and the base 5 through the detachable bolt and arc-shaped plate connection mode, so as to facilitate use.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, two pairs of threaded holes are drilled between the outer walls of the first fixing plate 9, the second fixing plate 10 and the generator 11, and a long threaded rod is threadedly connected between the multiple threaded holes located on the same axis, and a plurality of fixing nuts are threadedly connected to the outer walls of the long threaded rod, and the outer walls of the plurality of fixing nuts are in contact with the outer walls of the first fixing plate 9, the second fixing plate 10 and the generator 11, respectively.

[0023] During use of the present solution, the first fixing plate 9 and the second fixing plate 10 are connected to the generator 11 by a detachable threaded connection, which can drive the generator 11 to be easily disassembled for subsequent inspection and maintenance.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the refrigerant booster pump 3 is used to perform secondary boosting on the liquid gas discharged from the exhaust port of the air-conditioning compressor 1 .

[0025] During use of this solution, the refrigerant booster pump 3 can be used to perform secondary pressurization on the discharged liquid gas to increase its pressure energy.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the electricity generated by the generator 11 can be reversely input to the air-conditioning compressor 1 for power, or stored in the battery 13 for use by other power equipment.

[0027] During use of this solution, the generated electricity can be reversely input into the air-conditioning compressor 1 as its power source, realizing the recycling of electricity, thereby reducing dependence on external electricity. At the same time, the electricity can also be stored in the battery 13 for use by other power equipment, further improving the utilization efficiency of energy.

[0028] Working principle: the exhaust port of the air-conditioning compressor 1 discharges liquid gas into the connecting pipe 2, and the refrigerant booster pump 3 performs secondary boosting on the liquid gas discharged from the connecting pipe 2. The boosted liquid gas is introduced into the fluid turbine 4. The fluid turbine 4 rotates under the impetus of the liquid gas, and drives the generator 11 to rotate through the transmission action of the first pulley 6, the second pulley 7 and the transmission belt 8. Through the conversion of mechanical energy to electrical energy, the kinetic energy generated by the fluid turbine 4 is efficiently converted into electrical energy. The electricity generated by the generator 11 can be reversely input to the air-conditioning compressor 1 as power, and can also be stored in the battery 13 for use by other electrical equipment.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
