DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the drawings, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present disclosure. Instead, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present disclosure as detailed in the appended claims.

[0035] Unless otherwise specified, directional words such as "upper, lower, left, right" are defined according to the directions indicated in the corresponding drawings, while "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of the corresponding components themselves. In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this disclosure are to distinguish one element from another, and do not have order and importance.

[0036] It should be noted that all actions of acquiring signals, information or data in the present disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the device is located and with the authorization given by the owner of the corresponding device.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the present disclosure provides an exemplary air conditioning device. For the purpose of description, a mobile air conditioner is taken as an example for detailed description. It should be understood that air conditioning devices with similar structures and requirements can apply the solution provided by the present disclosure to solve technical problems, and are not limited to mobile air conditioners. Mobile air conditioners have more layout flexibility than ordinary hanging air conditioners, and can be moved to an appropriate spatial position as needed. This convenient movement can be achieved by setting rollers at the bottom. Mobile air conditioners are usually designed as an integrated internal and external unit. Specifically, the evaporator 4 and the condenser 3, which are the core components of the air conditioner, are integrated in a shell and are both located indoors. Taking the refrigeration condition as an example, the higher temperature air introduced from the environment exchanges heat with the lower temperature evaporator 4 and is discharged to the room, thereby achieving the purpose of lowering the indoor temperature. Under certain conditions, for example, the humidity in the air is high, and condensed water is easily precipitated in the outer shell of the evaporator 4. Due to the characteristics of the integrated design of the mobile air conditioner, this part of the condensed water is usually not directly discharged to the outside, but a water tank 2 for storing condensed water is set inside the mobile air conditioner. As the amount of condensed water continues to increase, if the condensed water in the water tank 2 is not handled in time, water leakage problems are likely to occur.

[0038] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the air conditioning device provided by the present disclosure is further provided with a guide plate 1, which can be driven to rotate between a first position and a second position. Figure 1 The guide plate 1 is shown in the first position, as shown by the arrow, the guide plate 1 guides the condensed water separated from the outer shell of the evaporator 4 to the water tank 2; Figure 2 It is shown that the guide plate 1 is in the second position. As shown by the arrow, the guide plate 1 guides the condensed water to the condenser 3, thereby cooling the condenser 3. For example, under refrigeration conditions, the external environment temperature is higher, and the temperature of the condenser 3 is also higher, and too high a temperature will affect the refrigeration efficiency of the condenser 3. Therefore, guiding the condensed water with a lower temperature to the condenser 3 has the effect of cooling the condenser 3, which is beneficial to improving the refrigeration efficiency of the condenser 3. At the same time, after the condensed water with a lower temperature contacts the condenser 3 with a higher temperature, the condensed water can be vaporized, thereby delaying the time for the water tank to be filled with water.

[0039] The technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: the air conditioning equipment provided by the present disclosure is capable of guiding the condensed water precipitated from the outer shell of the evaporator 4 to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3 respectively as needed by setting a guide plate 1. Specifically, in the first position, the guide plate 1 guides the condensed water to the water tank 2 for temporary storage. In the second position, the guide plate 1 guides the condensed water to the condenser 3. This part of the condensed water can, on the one hand, cool the condenser 3, which is beneficial to improving the cooling effect of the air conditioner under high temperature conditions. On the other hand, the low-temperature condensed water is easily vaporized when encountering the high-temperature condenser 3, thereby reducing the amount of condensed water and delaying the time it takes for the water tank to be filled with water.

[0040] In addition to the first position and the second position, the guide plate 1 also has a plurality of intermediate positions between the first position and the second position. Specifically, in the first position, the guide plate 1 guides all the generated condensed water to the water tank 2, in the second position, the guide plate 1 guides all the generated condensed water to the condenser 3, and in the intermediate position, the guide plate 1 can divide the condensed water into the water tank 2 and the condenser 3 in proportion. The distribution ratio of the condensed water can be achieved by adjusting the rotation angle of the guide plate 1 relative to the horizontal position. The ratio of the condensed water divided into the water tank 2 and the condenser 3 can be determined according to the following: η 水箱 =ξθ+0.5;η 冷凝器 =1-η 水箱 , where ξ is an angle coefficient in the range of -0.005 to +0.005; θ is the angle of the guide plate relative to the horizontal plane. When θ is positive, more condensed water flows to the water tank 2. For example, for every 5° increase in θ, the condensed water flowing to the water tank 2 increases by 10%, and correspondingly, the condensed water flowing to the condenser 3 decreases by 10%.

[0041] Taking the refrigeration condition as an example, when the temperature of the evaporator 4 is relatively high, for example, greater than or equal to a preset value, and the amount of condensed water generated is small, the guide plate 1 can be adjusted to allow more condensed water to flow to the condenser 3, giving priority to providing cooling for the condenser 3, while also vaporizing this part of the condensed water, thereby reducing the amount of condensed water, delaying the time for the water tank to be filled with water, and avoiding the problem of leakage due to excessive water accumulation; and as the running time of the air conditioner increases, the temperature of the evaporator 4 gradually decreases, and more condensed water is generated. At this time, the condensed water flowing to the condenser 3 is gradually reduced by adjusting the angle θ of the guide plate 1 relative to the horizontal plane.

[0042] The guide plate 1 is driven by a driving mechanism 5. In some embodiments, Figures 3 to 5As shown, the driving mechanism 5 is a rotary motor 51, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 51 is connected to the guide plate 1, that is, the rotary motor 51 directly drives the guide plate 1 to rotate the guide plate 1 at the first position, the second position and any position therebetween. The rotary motor 51 can be a servo motor, so that the rotation angle of the guide plate 1 can be more accurately controlled, thereby more accurately distributing the amount of condensed water diverted to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3.

[0043] In other embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the driving mechanism 5 includes a linear motor 52 and a gear 53 and a rack 54 meshing with each other, wherein the guide plate 1 is fixedly mounted on the gear 53 so that it can change position as the gear 53 rotates, and the output shaft of the linear motor 52 is connected to the rack 54, that is, the linear motion of the linear motor 52 is converted into the rotation of the guide plate 1 through the gear 53 and the rack 54, so that the guide plate 1 rotates at the first position and the second position and any position therebetween. By reasonably designing the number of teeth of the gear 53 and the rack 54, etc., the rotation angle of the guide plate 1 can also be more accurately controlled, thereby more accurately allocating the amount of condensed water diverted to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3.

[0044] Other forms of driving mechanisms, as long as they can realize the rotation of the guide plate 1 between the first position and the second position, can be applied in the present disclosure and are not limited here.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning device can adopt a cabinet structure, including an integral shell 6. Specifically, the air conditioning device includes a first accommodating space 61 and a second accommodating space 62 arranged up and down for accommodating, wherein the evaporator 4 is arranged in the first accommodating space 61, and the condenser 3 and the water tank 2 are arranged in the second accommodating space 62. A partition 63 is arranged between the first accommodating space 61 and the second accommodating space 62, and the partition 63 is provided with a drain port 631 for condensed water to be discharged. The guide plate 1 is arranged in the second accommodating space 62 and its position corresponds to the drain port 631. On the one hand, the partition 63 has the function of supporting the evaporator 4 and improving the strength of the support. On the other hand, the drain port 631 for condensed water to be discharged arranged on the partition 63 has the function of converging, that is, guiding the condensed water to be discharged from the drain port 631 in a concentrated manner, so as to facilitate being received by the guide plate 1.

[0046] In order to facilitate the diversion, Figures 3 to 5As shown, the guide plate 1 is constructed as an arc-shaped plate protruding toward the flow direction of the condensed water, or the guide plate 1 protrudes toward the direction of the drain port 631. This arc-shaped guide plate 1 can make the condensed water flow to the water tank 2 or the condenser 3 more smoothly, and the arc-shaped structure is also conducive to diversion, that is, it is more conducive to proportionally diverting the condensed water to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3 at the middle position. Guide plates 1 of other shapes, for example, triangular guide plates 1 can also be used in the present disclosure to achieve the purpose of diversion and diversion. Figure 5 As shown, the guide plate 1 may include a plate body 11 extending in the guide direction and water retaining strips 12 arranged on both sides of the plate body 11 in the guide direction. The presence of the water retaining strips 12 can prevent the condensed water on the guide plate 1 from sliding down from the side of the plate body 11 without being able to be guided to the water tank 2 or the condenser 3.

[0047] The air conditioning device provided by the present disclosure may also include a limiter 7 for limiting the rotation angle of the guide plate 1. By setting the limiter 7, the rotation angle of the guide plate 1 can be limited, and the guide plate 1 can be limited to the first position and the second position. It should be noted that the limit here means that the guide plate 1 cannot continue to rotate after being driven to a predetermined position. In this way, even if the driving mechanism 5 has a deviation in the control angle or there is rotational inertia, the guide plate 1 can still be accurately stopped at the first position or the second position.

[0048] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioning device of the present disclosure may further include a water storage tank 8, which includes a first water storage chamber 81 and a second water storage chamber 82 separated from each other. An additional partition plate may be provided between the first water storage chamber 81 and the second water storage chamber 82, or as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The limiting member 7 shown extends into the water tank 8 to form a partition. The first water storage chamber 81 is provided with a first overflow port 811, and the position of the first overflow port 811 corresponds to the water inlet 21 of the water tank 2. Optionally, the first overflow port 811 can be inserted into the water inlet 21 through the lead-out water pipe; the second water storage chamber 82 is provided with a second overflow port 821, and the position of the second overflow port 821 corresponds to the condenser 3. This method of setting up the water tank 8 can provide a larger opening and accommodating space, so that it is easier to receive the diverted condensed water. At the same time, the separated first water storage chamber 81 and the second water storage chamber 82 can prevent the water in the two chambers from being connected and merging with each other, which is particularly suitable for working conditions with diversion requirements.

[0049] Furthermore, if Figures 3 to 5As shown, a first water receiving pan 9 may be further provided between the water storage tank 8 and the condenser 3. The first water receiving pan 9 at least partially covers the condenser 3, and the first water receiving pan 9 is provided with a plurality of third overflow ports 91 at intervals, so that the first water receiving pan 9 has a sufficiently large overflow area, so that the condensed water can be evenly distributed on the condenser 3, and the condenser 3 is fully cooled, that is, the first water receiving pan 9 here plays the role of storing the condensed water on the one hand, and plays the role of a homogenizer on the other hand.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning equipment of the present invention may also include a second water receiving tray 101 and a water pumping device 102 arranged at the bottom of the condenser 3, wherein the second water receiving tray 101 is used to store condensed water that has been diverted to the condenser 3 but has not been vaporized, and is temporarily stored in the second water receiving tray 101 to avoid water leakage; the water pumping device 102 is used to pump the condensed water in the second water receiving tray 101 onto the condenser 3, thereby vaporizing the condensed water stored in the second water receiving tray 101, and the water pumping device 102 may be, for example, a water wheel, which sprinkles the condensed water onto the condenser 3 during rotation.

[0051] According to a second aspect of an embodiment of the present disclosure, a control method for air conditioning equipment is provided, which is suitable for controlling any of the above-mentioned air conditioning equipment, and the steps of the control method include: obtaining an ambient temperature value and a fan speed value, wherein the ambient temperature value includes an outdoor ambient temperature value and / or an indoor ambient temperature value; in response to the obtained ambient temperature value and fan speed value, controlling the guide plate to rotate to a first position or a second position.

[0052] For example, for wall-mounted air conditioners, which include indoor and outdoor units, the ambient temperature refers to the outdoor temperature and indoor temperature. Since the condenser is installed in the outdoor unit, the higher the outdoor ambient temperature, the higher the compressor operating frequency is inversely proportional to the outdoor ambient temperature for the sake of air conditioner reliability and compressor operating life. Therefore, when the outdoor ambient temperature is high, the compressor movement frequency decreases, which reduces the temperature difference between the condenser and the outdoor ambient temperature and reduces the heat exchange of the entire unit. For mobile air conditioners, due to the integrated design, there is no distinction between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, so the ambient temperature refers to the indoor ambient temperature.

[0053] In some embodiments, taking an air conditioning device including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit as an example, the outdoor ambient temperature value, the indoor ambient temperature value and the fan speed value are respectively obtained; in response to the obtained ambient temperature value and the fan speed value, the step of controlling the guide plate to rotate to the first position or the second position includes: when the outdoor ambient temperature value is greater than or equal to a first preset value, and when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature value and the set temperature value is greater than or equal to a second preset value, and when the fan speed is greater than or equal to a third preset value, controlling the guide plate to rotate to the second position, otherwise controlling the guide plate to the first position.

[0054] When the monitored outdoor ambient temperature is greater than or equal to the first preset value, it indicates that the outdoor ambient temperature is high, for example, greater than or equal to 38° C. As the outdoor ambient temperature is higher, as the actual cooling capacity of the air conditioning equipment decreases, the user's demand for heat exchange cooling capacity is greater, and there is a need to control the guide plate to allow the condensed water to flow to the condenser.

[0055] When the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature value is greater than or equal to the second preset value, it means that the user has a real high heat exchange demand, and the second preset value can be, for example, 5°C. For example, if the indoor ambient temperature is 28°C and the user sets the temperature to 22°C, the difference between the two is 6°C, which means that the user has a relatively high cooling demand, and at this time, it is necessary to control the guide plate to cool the condenser with condensed water. If the indoor ambient temperature is 28°C and the user sets the temperature to 27°C, it means that the user can still accept the current indoor temperature, but has a certain cooling demand, and at this time, it is not necessary to control the guide plate to cool the condenser with condensed water.

[0056] The fan speed is expressed as the air outlet gear. For example, if the wind speed is at gear 6 or 7, it means that the user has a real demand for high heat exchange. At this time, it is necessary to control the guide plate to make the condensed water cool down the condenser. If it is set to gear 1 or 2, it means that the user can accept the current indoor temperature, but has a certain cooling demand. At this time, there is no need to control the guide plate to make the condensed water cool down the condenser.

[0057] In other embodiments, taking the air conditioning device as a mobile air conditioner as an example, that is, without distinguishing between indoor and outdoor units, the indoor ambient temperature value and the fan speed value are obtained respectively; in response to the obtained ambient temperature value and fan speed value, the step of controlling the guide plate to rotate to the first position or the second position includes: when the indoor ambient temperature value is greater than or equal to the fourth preset value, and when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature value and the set temperature value is greater than or equal to the fifth preset value, and when the fan speed is greater than or equal to the sixth preset value, the guide plate is controlled to rotate to the second position, otherwise the guide plate is controlled to the first position. At this time, the description of controlling the guide plate according to the ambient temperature value and the fan speed is similar to the above, and will not be repeated here.
