Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air duct unit and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In some related technologies, ducted air conditioners use horizontal lateral air supply. In heating mode, the hot air is blown out horizontally. Due to the low density of hot air, the hot air floats upward, and the heat demand of people is 1.6 meters or below. The hot air is difficult to reach the human activity area, resulting in poor heating effect. In other related technologies, the downward air supply method is used. In cooling mode, the cold air blows directly on the human body, which is less comfortable.

[0003] The prior art generally adopts the method of controlling the fan to reverse to achieve the reverse air outlet of the fan, so that the indoor unit can simultaneously achieve the purpose of horizontal air supply and vertical air supply. However, the air volume is small when the fan is reversed. If the duct unit is cooling when the fan rotates forward, the fan needs to be reversed when the duct unit is heating, resulting in poor heating capacity of the duct unit. Similarly, if the duct unit is heating when the fan rotates forward, the fan needs to be reversed when the duct unit is cooling, resulting in poor cooling capacity of the duct unit. Both solutions will seriously affect the heat exchange efficiency of the duct unit. Summary of the invention

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0060] The prior art generally adopts the method of controlling the fan to reverse to achieve the reverse air discharge of the fan, so that the indoor unit can simultaneously achieve the purpose of horizontal and vertical air supply. However, the air volume is small when the fan is reversed. If the duct machine is cooling when the fan is rotating forward, the fan needs to be reversed when the duct machine is heating, resulting in poor heating capacity of the duct machine. Similarly, if the duct machine is heating when the fan is rotating forward, the fan needs to be reversed when the duct machine is cooling, resulting in poor cooling capacity of the duct machine. Both solutions will seriously affect the heat exchange efficiency of the duct machine. To this end, the present application provides a method such as Figures 1 to 21The duct dryer shown includes: a shell 1, on which a first air outlet 11 and a second air outlet 12 are provided; a fixed volute 2, which is arranged in the shell 1 and is provided with a fan air inlet 21, at least one first air outlet 22 and at least one second air outlet 23, the first air outlet 22 is connected to the first air outlet 11, and the second air outlet 23 is connected to the second air outlet 12; a movable volute 3, which is arranged in the fixed volute 2 and has a first working state of closing the first air outlet 22 and opening the second air outlet 23, and the movable volute 3 also has a second working state of closing the second air outlet 23 and opening the first air outlet 22; a baffle 4, which is arranged in the shell 1 and has a first shielding state of separating the fan air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 11, and the baffle 4 also has a second shielding state of separating the fan air inlet 21 and the second air outlet 12. The movable volute 3 is used to adjust the first air outlet 22 and the second air outlet 23 on the fixed volute 2, so that the fixed volute 2 can discharge air from the first air outlet 22, so that the gas can be blown to the first air outlet 11 through the first air outlet 22, so that the duct machine can discharge air through the first air outlet 11, and the fixed volute 2 can also be made to discharge air from the second air outlet 23, so that the gas can be blown to the second air outlet 12 through the second air outlet 23, so that the duct machine can discharge air through the second air outlet 12, and at the same time, the baffle 4 is used to separate the fan air inlet 21 from the first air outlet 11 or the second air outlet 12, so as to ensure that the first air outlet 11 is used as the inlet When the air outlet is open, the gas can only flow into the fan inlet 21 from the first air outlet 11, while the gas blown from the second air outlet 23 to the second air outlet 12 cannot reach the fan inlet 21. It can also be ensured that when the second air outlet 12 is used as the air inlet, the gas can only flow into the fan inlet 21 from the second air outlet 12, while the gas blown from the first air outlet 22 to the first air outlet 11 cannot reach the fan inlet 21, thereby ensuring the working reliability of the duct machine and overcoming the problem in the prior art that the air outlet direction of the duct machine can only be adjusted by changing the direction of the fan. The duct machine can obtain reliable air volume in both cooling mode and heating mode, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the duct machine.

[0061] As an embodiment, the fan air inlet 21 is arranged on the end face of the fixed volute 2, and there is a first distance between the end face of the fixed volute 2 and the inner wall of the shell 1. The baffle 4 moves within the first distance. By moving the baffle 4 within the first distance, the baffle 4 can move on both sides of the fan air inlet 21. Since the fixed volute 2 is located in the shell 1, the first air outlet 11 and the second air outlet 12 will be located on both sides of the fixed volute 2. The baffle 4 moves on both sides of the fan air inlet 21, so as to achieve the partition between the fan air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 11 and the partition between the fan air inlet 21 and the second air outlet 12, thereby ensuring the air intake reliability of the duct air conditioner, and then ensuring the working reliability of the duct air conditioner. Among them, when the baffle 4 is in the first shielding state or the second shielding state, the edge of the baffle 4 close to the fixed volute 2 is sealed and matched with the corresponding part of the fixed volute 2, and the edge of the baffle 4 away from the fixed volute 2 is sealed and matched with the inner wall of the shell 1, thereby ensuring the baffle 4 to separate the fan air inlet 21 from the first air outlet 11 or the second air outlet 12, and ensuring the working reliability of the air duct machine. Preferably, a matching structure is provided in the shell 1, and the matching structure is located within the first spacing, and the baffle 4 can abut and match with the matching structure, thereby improving the separation effect of the baffle 4.

[0062] Optionally, the cross-section of the fan air inlet 21 is circular, and the cross-section of the baffle 4 is arc-shaped, and the arc is coaxially arranged with the circle. By setting the baffle 4 to an arc, the baffle 4 can rotate with the axis of the circle as the axis, thereby reducing the volume of the baffle 4 and the avoidance area required during the movement, reducing the volume and occupied space of the duct machine, and improving the user experience of the duct machine. In order to ensure the sealing effect between the baffle 4 and the fixed volute 2, and also to ensure the reliable rotation of the baffle 4 on the fixed volute 2, a circular ring is provided at one end of the baffle 4 close to the fixed volute 2, and the circular ring contacts and cooperates with the edge of the fan air inlet 21, further improving the partition effect of the baffle 4.

[0063] The shell 1 has a first side panel, the first air outlet 11 is arranged on the first side panel, the fan air inlet 21 faces the first side panel, and the projection of the fan air inlet 21 on the first side panel at least partially overlaps with the first air outlet 11. By overlapping the first air outlet 11 with at least part of the fan air inlet 21, the flow rate flowing from the first air outlet 11 to the fan air inlet 21 can be increased, thereby improving the working efficiency of the fan corresponding to the fixed volute 2. Preferably, the first air outlet 11 is located on the rear side of the first side panel, so that the fixed volute 2 can also be similarly arranged at the rear of the shell 1, and then a heat exchanger and other related structures can be arranged at the front of the shell 1, thereby further reducing the volume and occupied space of the duct machine and improving the user experience of the duct machine.

[0064] Since there is an overlapped portion between the fan air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 11, in order to ensure the partition effect between the fan air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 11, the air duct machine further includes a cover plate 5, which is arranged at the end of the baffle 4 away from the fixed volute 2, and the shape of the cover plate 5 is the same as the overlapped shape of the projection of the fan air inlet 21 on the first side plate and the first air outlet 11, and when the baffle 4 is in the first shielding state, the cover plate 5 is located between the fan air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 11. The cover plate 5 and the baffle 4 cooperate to achieve the partition between the fan air inlet 21 and the first air outlet 11, and ensure the working reliability of the air duct machine, and when the baffle 4 is in the second shielding state, the cover plate 5 moves to the inside of the housing 1 with the baffle 4, and at this time, the cover plate 5 can fit with the inner wall of the housing 1, further improving the partition effect between the second air outlet 12 and the fan air inlet 21, and further ensuring the working reliability of the air duct machine.

[0065] The duct machine further includes a flow guiding structure, which is arranged in the shell 1, and the flow guiding structure divides the interior of the shell 1 into at least one first air duct 61 and at least one second air duct 62, wherein the first air duct 61 corresponds to the first air outlet 22 one by one, and each of the first air outlet 22 is connected to the first air outlet 11 through the corresponding first air duct 61, and the second air duct 62 corresponds to the second air outlet 23 one by one, and each of the second air outlet 23 is connected to the second air outlet 12 through the corresponding second air duct 62. The first air duct 61 is used to guide the airflow of the first air outlet 22, so that the gas of the first air outlet 22 can flow smoothly to the first air outlet 11, reduce the flow resistance of the gas in the shell 1, and improve the air outlet effect of the duct machine; similarly, the second air duct 62 is used to guide the airflow of the second air outlet 23, so that the gas of the second air outlet 23 can flow smoothly to the first air outlet 11, reduce the flow resistance of the gas in the shell 1, and improve the air outlet effect of the duct machine.

[0066] Preferably, the guide structure includes a plurality of guide plates, all of which are arranged in the shell 1 to enclose the first air duct 61 or the second air duct 62, and the guide plates can also block the distance between the fixed volute 2 and the shell 1, ensuring that the airflow entering the shell 1 can only flow through the fan corresponding to the fixed volute 2, thereby ensuring the working reliability of the duct machine.

[0067] The movable volute 3 includes a shielding portion 31. When the movable volute 3 is in the first working state, the shielding portion 31 shields the first air outlet 22 and avoids the second air outlet 23; when the movable volute 3 is in the second working state, the shielding portion 31 shields the second air outlet 23 and avoids the first air outlet 22. The shielding portion 31 is used to shield all the first air outlets 22 or all the second air outlets 23 at the same time, thereby ensuring the reliability of adjusting the air outlet direction of the fan corresponding to the fixed volute 2.

[0068] The duct machine further includes a fan blade 7, which is rotatably disposed in the fixed volute 2. The cross section of the shielding portion 31 is arc-shaped, and the thickness of the shielding portion 31 gradually increases along the rotation direction of the fan blade 7. The increase in the thickness of the shielding portion 31 improves the rectifying effect of the gas in the fixed volute 2, improves the air outlet effect of the fan corresponding to the fixed volute 2, and thus ensures the heat exchange efficiency of the duct machine.

[0069] Among them, the minimum gap between the shielding part 31 and the fan blade 7 is a1, 8mm<a1<15mm. When a1≤8mm, the spacing between the shielding part 31 and the fan blade 7 is too small, and the movement error, shape error, rotation error of the shielding part 31, and the fan blade 7 will cause interference between the shielding part 31 and the fan blade 7 and cause damage to the fan blade 7; and when a1≥15mm, the spacing between the shielding part 31 and the fan blade 7 is too large, and the airflow rectification ability in the fixed volute 2 is poor, and the air outlet effect cannot be improved. Only when 8mm<a1<15mm can the structural reliability between the shielding part 31 and the fan blade 7 be guaranteed, and the airflow rectification effect of the shielding part 31 can also be guaranteed.

[0070] The movable volute 3 also includes a guide portion 32, which is spaced apart from the shielding portion 31, and a first air outlet channel 33 is formed between a first end of the guide portion 32 and a second end of the shielding portion 31, and a second air outlet channel 34 is formed between the second end of the guide portion 32 and the first end of the shielding portion 31. When the movable volute 3 is in the first working state or in the second working state, the guide portion 32 overlaps with the corresponding portion of the fixed volute 2. The guide part 32 is used to further rectify the airflow in the fixed volute 2, and the air outlet effect of the fixed volute 2 is further improved. At the same time, the guide part 32 overlaps with the corresponding part of the fixed volute 2, so as to avoid the guide part 32 blocking the first air outlet 22 or the second air outlet 23, thereby ensuring the air outlet reliability of the fixed volute 2. When the movable volute 3 is switched to the first working state, the first air outlet channel 33 and the second air outlet channel 34 are respectively connected to the corresponding second air outlet 23, and the guide part 32 is located on the fixed volute 2 between the two second air outlets 23. Part of the airflow is discharged from the second air outlet 23 at the first end of the guide part 32, and the remaining airflow flows through the guide part 3 2 and then discharged from the second air outlet 23 at the second end, and the guide part 32 is used to rectify part of the airflow again, so as to further improve the air outlet effect of the air duct machine. Similarly, when the movable volute 3 is switched to the second working state, the first air outlet channel 33 and the second air outlet channel 34 are respectively connected with the corresponding second air outlet 23, and the guide part 32 is located on the fixed volute 2 between the two first air outlets 22. Part of the airflow is discharged from the first air outlet 22 at the first end of the guide part 32, and the remaining airflow flows through the guide part 32 and then is discharged from the first air outlet 22 at the second end. The guide part 32 is used to rectify part of the airflow again, so as to further improve the air outlet effect of the air duct machine.

[0071] The duct machine further includes a fan blade 7, which is rotatably disposed in the fixed volute 2. The cross section of the guide portion 32 is arc-shaped, and the thickness of the guide portion 32 gradually increases along the rotation direction of the fan blade 7. The increase in the thickness of the guide portion 32 improves the rectifying effect of the gas in the fixed volute 2, improves the air outlet effect of the fan corresponding to the fixed volute 2, and thus ensures the heat exchange efficiency of the duct machine.

[0072] The minimum gap between the guide portion 32 and the fan blade 7 is a2, 1.5a1<a2<2a1, a1 is the minimum gap between the shielding portion 31 and the fan blade 7. When a2 is too small, the spacing between the guide portion 32 and the fan blade 7 is too small, and the movement error, shape error, rotation error of the guide portion 32, and the fan blade 7 will cause interference between the guide portion 32 and the fan blade 7 and damage the fan blade 7; and when a2 is too large, the spacing between the guide portion 32 and the fan blade 7 is too large, and the airflow rectification ability in the fixed volute 2 is poor, and the air outlet effect cannot be improved. Only when 1.5a1<a2<2a1, can the structural reliability between the guide portion 32 and the fan blade 7 be guaranteed, and the airflow rectification effect of the guide portion 32 can also be guaranteed.

[0073] The relationship between the central angle α corresponding to the first air outlet channel 33, the central angle β corresponding to the guide portion 32, and the central angle γ corresponding to the second air outlet channel 34 is: α+β+γ≤180°. At this time, the central angle corresponding to the relative shielding portion 31 is greater than 180°, so that the shielding portion 31 can shield all the first air outlets 22 or all the second air outlets 23 at the same time, ensuring the working reliability of the air duct machine. Among them, α, β and γ can be equal or unequal.

[0074] The line between the central axis of the fixed volute 2 and the midpoint of the guide portion 32 constitutes the installation positioning line of the fixed volute 2, and the vertical plane perpendicular to the plane where the second air outlet 12 is located constitutes the positioning surface of the shell 1. The angle c between the positioning line and the positioning surface is in the range of 20°≤c≤50°. When installing the fixed volute 2, first determine the installation positioning line of the fixed volute 2 and the positioning surface of the shell 1, and then deflect the installation positioning line relative to the positioning surface by the angle c, so as to achieve the purpose of distributing the two second air outlets 23 on both sides of the central axis of the fixed volute 2, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the second air outlet 12.

[0075] The first air outlet 11 is provided on the bottom wall of the housing 1, and the second air outlet 12 is provided on the side wall of the housing 1. When the first air outlet 11 is used as a return air outlet, the indoor unit realizes downward return air and lateral air discharge, realizes horizontal blowing of cold air, and avoids the discomfort caused by direct blowing of cold air; when the second air outlet 12 is used as a return air outlet, realizes lateral return air and downward air discharge, realizes downward blowing of hot air, and improves the heating effect.

[0076] Specifically, the duct machine has a first state in which the first air outlet 11 is used as a return air outlet and the second air outlet 12 is used as an outlet, and the duct machine has a second state in which the first air outlet 11 is used as an outlet and the second air outlet 12 is used as a return air outlet;

[0077] When the duct air conditioner is in the first state, the movable volute 3 is in the first working state, and the baffle 4 is in the second shielding state. At this time, the movable volute 3 closes the first air outlet 22 and opens the second air outlet 23. At the same time, the baffle 4 separates the second air outlet 12 and the fan air inlet 21. The airflow entering the housing 1 from the first air outlet 11 flows to the fan air inlet 21, and flows to the second air outlet 12 through the second air outlet 23. At this time, the air is returned from the bottom of the duct air conditioner and discharged sideways, so that the cold air is blown horizontally to avoid the discomfort caused by the direct blowing of the cold air.

[0078] When the duct air conditioner is in the second state, the movable volute 3 is in the second working state, and the baffle 4 is in the first shielding state. At this time, the movable volute 3 closes the second air outlet 23 and opens the first air outlet 22. At the same time, the baffle 4 separates the first air outlet 11 and the fan air inlet 21. The airflow entering the shell 1 from the second air outlet 12 flows to the fan air inlet 21 and flows to the first air outlet 11 through the first air outlet 22. At this time, the duct air conditioner returns air to the side and discharges air from the bottom, so that hot air is blown downward, thereby improving the heating effect.

[0079] Alternatively, the first air outlet 22 is connected to the outside of the shell 1 through the side wall of the shell 1, so that the cold air is blown horizontally to avoid the discomfort caused by the direct blowing of cold air; the second air outlet 23 is connected to the outside of the shell 1 through the bottom wall of the shell 1, so that the hot air is blown downward to improve the heating effect.

[0080] The fixed volute 2 and the movable volute 3 together form a complete volute structure. By making the movable volute 3 and the fixed volute 2 form a complete volute structure, the working efficiency of the duct fan is guaranteed. Preferably, the volute structure and the fan blades 7 together constitute a centrifugal fan.

[0081] The number of the volute-like structures is one, and the projection of the central axis of the volute-like structure on the side wall is located on the second air outlet 12. At this time, the central axis of the volute-like structure is parallel to the vertical direction, and the volute-like structure is centrally arranged, so that the two second air outlets 23 on the fixed volute 2 can respectively correspond to different parts of the second air outlet 12 for air supply, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the second air outlet 12. Specifically, the number of the second air outlets 23 is two, and the projections of the two second air outlets 23 on the side wall are located on both sides of the projection of the central axis of the volute-like structure on the side wall, that is, the installation positioning line is deflected relative to the positioning surface by an angle c, so that the purpose of distributing the two second air outlets 23 on both sides of the central axis of the fixed volute 2 can be achieved, thereby ensuring the air outlet effect of the second air outlet 12.

[0082] An air conditioner comprises the above-mentioned duct air conditioner.
