Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioning equipment, and in particular to an air outlet structure of a bottom-inlet and top-outlet air conditioning indoor unit. Background Art

[0002] In modern life, air conditioners have become one of the indispensable household appliances, especially in hot summer or cold winter, air conditioners provide us with a comfortable indoor temperature; in order to improve the air circulation effect and ensure the uniform distribution of temperature, many air conditioner designs adopt a "side-in-side-out" structure. Through this design, the air conditioner can effectively draw in indoor air from the side and discharge it from the top after cooling or heating, making the air flow more natural and uniform.

[0003] In the prior art, air conditioner indoor units usually adopt different forms of air inlet and outlet designs; most traditional air conditioner indoor units adopt side air inlet and bottom air inlet structures, while the air outlet design varies according to the specific air conditioner type and application scenario. Different air flow patterns can affect the cooling or heating effect, noise level and air quality of the air conditioner. In order to ensure efficient air circulation and comfortable user experience, many air conditioner manufacturers have adopted more optimized air outlet structures, especially in small or medium-sized rooms.

[0004] The air outlet structure of traditional air conditioner indoor units often adopts the side-in and side-out or top-in and bottom-out methods. Although these designs can meet basic air conditioning needs in some occasions, they have some significant shortcomings in certain specific application environments. First, the side-in and side-out structure can easily lead to uneven air flow, especially in larger or more complex rooms. The air cannot be fully distributed to every corner, resulting in overcooling or overheating in some areas, affecting the temperature balance in the room. Secondly, the air supply efficiency of these designs is relatively low, because when the air enters and exits from the side or top, it is easy to form local air stagnation, and the air conditioning cooling or heating effect is not ideal, resulting in energy waste. In terms of noise, the traditional air inlet and outlet method, especially when running at high load, requires the fan to have a higher speed to meet the air supply needs, which often produces a lot of noise, affecting places that require a quiet environment, such as conference rooms and family living rooms. Summary of the 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.

[0023] Example: Please refer to the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 3 An embodiment of the present invention provides an air outlet structure of an indoor unit of an air conditioner with bottom inlet and top outlet, comprising a wall 1 and a central air conditioner 4. An air inlet 2 is provided at the bottom of the wall 1, and an air outlet 3 is provided on the side of the wall 1 away from the air inlet 2. A frame 13 is fixedly connected to the middle of the air inlet 2 and the air outlet 3. A snap-on assembly is provided inside the wall 1 for connecting the frame 13.

[0024] The air inlet 2 is used for taking in air, so that the central air conditioner 4 can be convenient for exhausting air, and the air outlet 3 is used for discharging air, so that the central air conditioner 4 can be convenient for blowing air.

[0025] Please refer to the attached Figure 4 and attached Figure 5 The card-connecting assembly includes a card block 12, which is slidably connected to the inside of the wall 1. The card block 12 and the frame 13 are both provided with card slots 14 on both sides. The card slots 14 and the card block 12 are card-connected. A reset assembly is provided on one side of the card block 12, and the reset assembly is used to eject and reset the card block 12.

[0028] When the paddle 15 is manually turned, the block 12 will be driven to move, and the block 12 can conveniently squeeze the spring 11 when it moves. When the block 12 squeezes the spring 11, it will be separated from the slot 14. When the block 12 is separated from the slot 14, it is convenient for the staff to disassemble and clean the frame 13 as a whole, thereby reducing the labor intensity of the staff, while improving the cleaning efficiency, and facilitating further in-depth cleaning.

[0030] By directly taking the silent plate 17 or the purification plate 18, the card ball 20 can be easily squeezed. When the card ball 20 is squeezed, it will disengage from the slide groove 21. After the card ball 20 disengages from the slide groove 21, the silent plate 17 or the purification plate 18 can be easily taken out from the middle of the frame 13, so that the silent plate 17 and the purification plate 18 can be easily cleaned or replaced, which is convenient for personnel to operate, while improving cleaning efficiency and reducing labor intensity of personnel.

[0031] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 and attached Figure 8A fixing frame 7 is fixedly connected inside the wall 1, a cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the middle of the fixing frame 7, and a blocking plate 22 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 8. Two blocking plates 22 are specifically provided, and both blocking plates 22 are slidably connected to the inside of the wall 1, and the blocking plates 22 are used to block the incoming air volume.

[0032] The fixing frame 7 can conveniently support and fix the cylinder 8, thereby making the cylinder 8 more stable. When the cylinder 8 is working, it can conveniently drive the blocking plate 22 to move. When the blocking plate 22 moves, the air intake volume of the air inlet 2 can be conveniently adjusted, so that the user can conveniently remotely control the opening of the air inlet 2 to meet the air flow requirements in different environments, thereby improving the overall applicability of the central air conditioner 4.

[0033] Please refer to the attached Figure 2 -Attached Figure 4 , connecting plates 6 are fixedly connected on both sides of the central air conditioner 4, and a plurality of bolts 5 are arranged in the middle of the connecting plates 6, and the plurality of bolts 5 are used to connect and fix the central air conditioner 4; a limiting groove is opened in the middle of the wall 1, and a paddle 15 is slidably connected in the middle of the limiting groove, and the limiting groove is used to prevent the paddle 15 from offset when moving; a controller 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the central air conditioner 4, and a temperature sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the central air conditioner 4, and the controller 9 and the temperature sensor 10 are both telecommunication-connected to a regulation system.

[0034] The connecting plate 6 and the plurality of bolts 5 can facilitate installation and fixation of the central air conditioner 4, thereby facilitating installation work for the staff; the limiting groove can facilitate positioning of the paddle 15, thereby preventing the paddle 15 from being offset when moving.

[0035] Please refer to the attached Fig. 9 and attached Fig.10 , the regulation system includes: The temperature and humidity sensor module is used to monitor the temperature and humidity in the air and transmit the collected temperature data to the controller 9; The temperature control module calculates whether the current ambient temperature meets the comfort range based on the collected temperature data, and decides whether to start the heating or cooling equipment; The heating module is used to start in winter or when the temperature is too low, and to increase the indoor temperature by heating the air; A refrigeration module is used to start in summer or when the temperature is too high, and to reduce the indoor temperature through refrigeration equipment; Humidification module, which is used to increase the humidity in the air, especially in dry environments.

[0036] The temperature and humidity sensing module is the "sensing" part of the regulation system. It is responsible for real-time monitoring of the temperature and humidity of the air and transmitting these data to the controller 9. By detecting changes in the environment, the temperature and humidity data are provided to the regulation system to provide accurate information for subsequent regulation operations. After receiving these data, the temperature control module, as the brain of the system, analyzes the collected temperature and humidity data and determines whether the current temperature meets the human comfort range. It determines whether to start the heating module or the cooling module according to the set temperature standard to ensure that the indoor temperature is always in a comfortable range. In cold winter or when the temperature is too low, the heating module will start heating equipment such as electric heaters, heat pumps, etc. to increase the indoor temperature to avoid the environment being too cold. In hot summer or when the temperature is too high, the cooling module will start the air conditioner or other cooling equipment to provide a cool environment by lowering the indoor temperature to ensure that the indoor temperature does not exceed the set comfort range. At the same time, when the air humidity is too low, especially in a dry environment, the humidification module will add moisture to the air through a humidifier and other equipment to ensure that the humidity remains in an appropriate range to avoid the discomfort caused by the air being too dry.

[0037] Please refer to the attached Fig. 9 and attached Fig.10 , the temperature control module includes: A data processing unit, which is used to determine whether the temperature of the current environment meets the comfortable range based on the temperature data transmitted by the temperature and humidity sensor module; The control algorithm unit determines whether to start the heating or cooling equipment based on the temperature data and executes the corresponding control logic; A user setting interface, which is used by the user to set a comfortable temperature range through a hardware button or a software interface; A decision control unit is used to decide whether to turn on the heating and cooling adjustment modules.

[0038] The data processing unit is one of the cores of the entire temperature and humidity control system. It is responsible for processing and analyzing the temperature data transmitted from the temperature and humidity sensor module. The unit will determine whether the current temperature is within the preset comfort range based on the real-time temperature of the environment. If the current ambient temperature is lower than the set comfort temperature, the data processing unit will pass the information to the control algorithm unit, instructing the control system to start the heating equipment; if the temperature is higher than the set range, it will instruct the control system to start the cooling equipment. By continuously monitoring and analyzing environmental data, the data processing unit ensures that the control system can dynamically respond to temperature changes and maintain comfortable indoor temperature conditions.

[0039] The control algorithm unit is responsible for performing specific operations of temperature adjustment according to the temperature data provided by the data processing unit. The control algorithm unit not only needs to process real-time data, but also needs to decide whether to start the heating module or the cooling module according to the set comfortable temperature range. When the ambient temperature does not meet the comfort standard, the control algorithm unit will determine which adjustment method should be enabled according to the preset logic, and control the start or stop of related equipment through instructions. For example, when the temperature is too low, the control algorithm will issue a command to start the heating equipment, and when the temperature is too high, it will instruct the system to start the cooling equipment. The task of this unit is to ensure that the temperature adjustment meets the user's comfort needs.

[0040] The user setting interface provides a way for users to set a comfortable temperature range. Users can set the target temperature of the temperature and humidity control system through hardware buttons, knobs or through the software interface. Through this interface, users can adjust the temperature threshold according to their personal preferences, so that the control system automatically adjusts the temperature and humidity of the indoor environment according to the set range. The setting interface is usually designed to be intuitive and easy to use, allowing users to quickly modify the temperature target value so that the system can respond to different comfort needs. Through this interface, users can control the system more conveniently and flexibly.

[0041] The decision control unit is the decision hub in the system, responsible for judging and executing whether to start the heating module, cooling module or other regulating modules. Based on the data transmitted from the control algorithm unit, the unit makes the final decision on whether to start a certain regulating device. For example, if the temperature is too low and heating is required, the decision control unit will decide to start the heating device; if the temperature is too high and cooling is required, the cooling device will be started. The purpose of this unit is to ensure that the system makes appropriate adjustments according to the actual environmental conditions to maintain a comfortable temperature and humidity level and ensure that the system is always in the best operating state.

[0042] Working principle: When the frame 13 needs to be disassembled, the paddle 15 is moved by manual toggle. When the paddle 15 moves, the block 12 is driven to move at the same time. When the block 12 moves, the spring 11 is squeezed. When the block 12 squeezes the spring 11, the block 12 will be separated from the slot 14, so that the frame 13 can be disassembled and taken out.

[0043] When the silent plate 17 and the purification plate 18 in the middle of the frame 13 are disassembled and taken out, the purification plate 18 or the silent plate 17 is manually pulled to move, and when the purification plate 18 and the silent plate 17 move, the card ball 20 will be squeezed, and when the purification plate 18 and the silent plate 17 squeeze the card ball 20, the card ball 20 will be separated from the slide groove 21. When the card ball 20 is separated from the slide groove 21, the purification plate 18 or the silent plate 17 can be disassembled and separated.

[0044] When the air volume of the air inlet 2 is adjusted, the cylinder 8 is started. When the cylinder 8 works, it drives the blocking plate 22 to move. The two blocking plates 22 can be separated or merged when moving, so that the air volume of the air inlet 2 can be adjusted.

[0045] 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.
