[0036] It should be noted that all actions involving the acquisition of signals, information, or data in this disclosure are carried out in compliance with the relevant data protection laws and policies of the country where the location is situated, and with authorization from the owner of the relevant device.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this disclosure exemplarily provides an air conditioning device. For descriptive purposes, a portable air conditioner is used as an example for detailed description below. It should be understood that air conditioning devices with similar structures and requirements can all apply the solutions provided in this disclosure to solve technical problems, and are not limited to portable air conditioners. Portable air conditioners offer greater layout flexibility than ordinary wall-mounted air conditioners, allowing them to be moved to appropriate locations as needed. This convenient movement can be achieved by having casters at the bottom. Portable air conditioners are typically designed as an integrated indoor and outdoor unit. Specifically, the evaporator 4 and condenser 3, as the core components of the air conditioner, are integrated into a single housing and both are located indoors. Taking cooling mode as an example, higher-temperature air introduced from the environment exchanges heat with the lower-temperature evaporator 4 and is then discharged into the room, thereby lowering the indoor temperature. Under certain conditions, such as high humidity, condensate easily precipitates on the outer casing of the evaporator 4. Due to the integrated design of portable air conditioners, this condensate is usually not directly discharged outdoors, but is stored in a water tank 2 inside the portable air conditioner. As the amount of condensate increases, if the condensate in the water tank 2 is not disposed of in time, leakage problems can easily occur.

[0038] To address the aforementioned problems, the air conditioning device provided in this disclosure further includes a deflector 1, which can be driven to rotate between a first position and a second position. Wherein: Figure 1 As shown in the first position, as indicated by the arrow, the guide plate 1 guides the condensate precipitated from the outer shell of the evaporator 4 to the water tank 2; Figure 2 As shown by the arrow, the guide plate 1 is in the second position. The guide plate 1 directs the condensate to the condenser 3, thereby cooling the condenser 3. For example, in refrigeration mode, when the ambient temperature is high, the temperature of the condenser 3 is also high, and excessively high temperatures will affect the refrigeration efficiency of the condenser 3. Therefore, directing the cooler condensate to the condenser 3 cools it down, thus improving its refrigeration efficiency. Simultaneously, when the cooler condensate comes into contact with the warmer condenser 3, the condensate vaporizes, thus delaying the time it takes for the water tank to fill.

[0039] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of this disclosure may include the following beneficial effects: The air conditioning equipment provided by this disclosure, by setting a guide plate 1, can guide the condensate precipitated from the outer shell of the evaporator 4 to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3 as needed. Specifically, in the first position, the guide plate 1 guides the condensate to the water tank 2 for temporary storage, and in the second position, the guide plate 1 guides the condensate to the condenser 3. This part of the condensate 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 condensate is easily vaporized when it encounters the high temperature condenser 3, thereby reducing the amount of condensate and delaying the time for the water tank to fill up.

[0040] In addition to the first and second positions, the guide plate 1 also has multiple intermediate positions between the first and second positions. Specifically, in the first position, the guide plate 1 directs all the generated condensate to the water tank 2; in the second position, the guide plate 1 directs all the generated condensate to the condenser 3; and in the intermediate positions, the guide plate 1 can proportionally distribute the condensate to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3. The condensate distribution ratio can be achieved by adjusting the rotation angle of the guide plate 1 relative to the horizontal position. The proportion of condensate distributed to 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 ranging from -0.005 to +0.005; θ is the angle between the guide plate and the horizontal plane. When θ is positive, more condensate flows to water tank 2. For example, for every 5° increase in θ, the amount of condensate flowing to water tank 2 increases by 10%, and correspondingly, the amount of condensate flowing to condenser 3 decreases by 10%.

[0041] Taking the cooling operation as an example, when the temperature of the evaporator 4 is high, for example, greater than or equal to the preset value, and the amount of condensate produced is small, the condensate can be directed to the condenser 3 by adjusting the guide plate 1, so as to provide cooling to the condenser 3 first. At the same time, this part of the condensate can be vaporized, thereby reducing the amount of condensate, delaying the filling time of the water tank, and avoiding the problem of excessive water accumulation and leakage. As the air conditioner runs for a longer time, the temperature of the evaporator 4 gradually decreases, and more condensate is produced. At this time, the condensate flowing to the condenser 3 can be gradually reduced by adjusting the angle θ between the guide plate 1 and the horizontal plane.

[0042] The guide vane 1 is driven by the drive mechanism 5. In some embodiments, such as... Figures 3 to 5As shown, the drive 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 in the first position, the second position, and any position in between. The rotary motor 51 can be a servo motor, which can more precisely control the rotation angle of the guide plate 1, thereby more precisely distributing the amount of condensate guided to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3.

[0043] In other implementations, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drive mechanism 5 includes a linear motor 52 and meshing gears 53 and rack 54. The guide plate 1 is fixedly mounted on the gear 53, allowing it to change position as the gear 53 rotates. 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 gears 53 and rack 54, enabling the guide plate 1 to rotate at a first position, a second position, and any position in between. Through the rational design of the number of teeth on the gears 53 and rack 54, the rotation angle of the guide plate 1 can be controlled more precisely, thereby more accurately distributing the amount of condensate water directed to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3.

[0044] Other types of drive mechanisms, as long as they can enable the guide plate 1 to rotate between the first position and the second position, can be applied in this disclosure, and no limitation is made here.

[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning equipment can adopt a cabinet-type structure, including an integral housing 6. Specifically, the air conditioning equipment includes a first accommodating space 61 and a second accommodating space 62 arranged vertically for housing. The evaporator 4 is located in the first accommodating space 61, and the condenser 3 and water tank 2 are located in the second accommodating space 62. A partition 63 is provided between the first accommodating space 61 and the second accommodating space 62. The partition 63 is provided with a drain outlet 631 for condensate drainage. A guide plate 1 is located in the second accommodating space 62 and its position corresponds to the drain outlet 631. The partition 63 serves two purposes: firstly, it supports the evaporator 4 and improves its load-bearing strength; secondly, the drain outlet 631 on the partition 63 has a converging function, that is, it guides the condensate to be discharged from the drain outlet 631 in a concentrated manner so that it can be received by the guide plate 1.

[0046] To facilitate flow diversion, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, the guide plate 1 is constructed as an arc-shaped plate convex towards the direction of the condensate flow, or in other words, the guide plate 1 convexes towards the drain outlet 631. This arc-shaped guide plate 1 allows the condensate to flow more smoothly to the water tank 2 or the condenser 3, and the arc shape also facilitates flow distribution, that is, it is more conducive to proportionally distributing the condensate to the water tank 2 and the condenser 3 at the middle position. Other shapes of guide plates 1, such as triangular guide plates 1, can also be used in this disclosure to achieve the purpose of guiding and distributing flow. Figure 5 As shown, the guide plate 1 may include a plate body 11 extending along the flow direction and water-blocking strips 12 disposed on both sides of the plate body 11 along the flow direction. The presence of the water-blocking strips 12 can prevent the condensate on the guide plate 1 from sliding down the side of the plate body 11 and failing to flow to the water tank 2 or condenser 3.

[0047] The air conditioning device provided in this disclosure may further include a limiting member 7 for limiting the rotation angle of the air deflector 1. By setting the limiting member 7, the rotation angle of the air deflector 1 can be limited, thereby restricting the air deflector 1 to a first position and a second position. It should be noted that the limiting here means that the air deflector 1 cannot continue to rotate after being driven to a predetermined position. In this way, even if the drive mechanism 5 has a deviation in the control angle or has rotational inertia, the air deflector 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 this disclosure may further include a water storage tank 8, which includes a first water storage cavity 81 and a second water storage cavity 82 separated from each other. A partition plate may be additionally provided between the first water storage cavity 81 and the second water storage cavity 82, or as shown... Figure 5 The partition plate extends into the water storage tank 8 via the limiting member 7. The first water storage chamber 81 is provided with a first overflow port 811, whose position 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 via a water pipe. The second water storage chamber 82 is provided with a second overflow port 821, whose position corresponds to the condenser 3. This arrangement of the water storage tank 8 provides a larger opening and more space, making it easier to receive the diverted condensate. Simultaneously, the separation of the first and second water storage chambers 81 and 82 prevents the water in the two chambers from flowing together, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring water diversion.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figures 3 to 5As shown, a first water receiving tray 9 can also be provided between the water storage tank 8 and the condenser 3. The first water receiving tray 9 at least partially covers the condenser 3, and the first water receiving tray 9 is provided with multiple third overflow ports 91 at intervals, so that the first water receiving tray 9 has a sufficiently large overflow area, so that the condensate can be evenly distributed on the condenser 3, and effectively cool the condenser 3. In other words, the first water receiving tray 9 here serves two purposes: storing condensate and acting as a uniform distributor.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air conditioning equipment disclosed herein may further include a second water receiving tray 101 disposed at the bottom of the condenser 3 and a water spraying device 102. The second water receiving tray 101 is used to store condensate that has been guided to the condenser 3 but has not been vaporized, and is temporarily stored in the second water receiving tray 101 to prevent leakage. The water spraying device 102 is used to spray the condensate in the second water receiving tray 101 onto the condenser 3, thereby causing the condensate stored in the second water receiving tray 101 to vaporize. The water spraying device 102 may be, for example, a water spraying wheel, which sprays the condensate onto the condenser 3 during rotation.

[0051] According to a second aspect of the present disclosure, a control method for an air conditioning device is provided, applicable to controlling any of the above-mentioned air conditioning devices. The control method includes the following steps: acquiring 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; and controlling the guide vane to rotate to a first position or a second position in response to the acquired ambient temperature value and fan speed value.

[0052] For wall-mounted air conditioners, which include both indoor and outdoor units, the ambient temperature refers to both the indoor and outdoor temperatures. Since the condenser is located on the outdoor unit, the higher the outdoor temperature, the lower the compressor's operating frequency becomes, thus reducing the temperature difference between the condenser and the outdoor environment and minimizing overall heat exchange. However, for portable air conditioners, which use an integrated design without distinguishing between indoor and outdoor units, the ambient temperature refers to the indoor temperature.

[0053] In some implementations, taking an air conditioning device including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit as an example, the steps of acquiring outdoor ambient temperature value, indoor ambient temperature value, and fan speed value respectively; and controlling the guide vane to rotate to a first position or a second position in response to the acquired ambient temperature value and fan speed value include: 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 vane to rotate to the second position; otherwise, controlling the guide vane 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℃. As the outdoor ambient temperature is higher, the actual cooling output capacity of the air conditioning equipment decreases, and the user's demand for cooling capacity for heat exchange is greater, thus requiring the control of the guide vane to direct the condensate flow to the condenser.

[0055] When the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature and the set temperature is greater than or equal to the second preset value, it indicates that the user has a genuine need for high heat exchange. The second preset value could be, for example, 5°C. For instance, if the indoor ambient temperature is 28°C and the user's set temperature is 22°C, the difference is 6°C, indicating a relatively high cooling demand. In this case, the deflector needs to be controlled to allow the condensate to cool the condenser. However, if the indoor ambient temperature is 28°C and the user's set temperature is 27°C, it means the user is comfortable with the current indoor temperature but has a certain cooling need. In this case, it is not necessary to control the deflector to allow the condensate to cool the condenser.

[0056] The fan speed is displayed externally as the air outlet level. For example, if the fan speed is set to level 6 or 7, it indicates that the user has a real need for high heat exchange. In this case, it is necessary to control the deflector to allow the condensate to cool the condenser. However, if the fan speed is set to level 1 or 2, it indicates that the user is already comfortable with the current indoor temperature but has a certain need for cooling. In this case, it is not necessary to control the deflector to allow the condensate to cool the condenser.

[0057] In other embodiments, taking a portable air conditioner as an example, the indoor and outdoor units are not distinguished, and the indoor ambient temperature value and fan speed value are acquired separately. The step of controlling the guide vane to rotate to a first or second position in response to the acquired ambient temperature value and fan speed value includes: controlling the guide vane to rotate to the second position when the indoor ambient temperature value is greater than or equal to a fourth preset value, when the temperature difference between the indoor ambient temperature value and the set temperature value is greater than or equal to a fifth preset value, and when the fan speed is greater than or equal to a sixth preset value; otherwise, controlling the guide vane to the first position. The explanation of controlling the guide vane according to the ambient temperature value and fan speed is similar to the above and will not be repeated here.

[0058] Other embodiments of this disclosure will readily occur to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the specification and practice of this disclosure. This disclosure is intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of this disclosure that follow the general principles of this disclosure and include common knowledge or customary techniques in the art not disclosed herein.
