Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of integrated devices, and particularly to an integrated device combining a gas water heater and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] An air conditioner is a commonly used electrical appliance in modern families. It uses a compressor to achieve heat exchange and regulates the temperature of the air in a building. However, the installation of an air conditioner is very inconvenient. Due to the limitation of the heat exchange principle of the compressor, an outdoor unit needs to be installed outside for all air conditioners, and the installation of the outdoor unit is restricted by many factors. For example, there is no suitable space outside some buildings, some houses do not allow drilling holes, and some high-rise buildings do not allow external hanging units. These restrictions make the installation of an air conditioner a very troublesome thing, especially in the kitchen.

[0003] Up to today's kitchens, air conditioner installation is generally not reserved in the initial design. One reason is due to past living habits, and the other reason is that existing air conditioners are not suitable for kitchens with concentrated oil fumes and heat. Therefore, when people's living standards improve and they hope to install an air conditioner in the kitchen to improve the cooking environment, their needs cannot be met.

[0004] In response to such a need, some new types of air conditioners without an outdoor unit that are suitable for kitchens have gradually emerged. For example, there is a ceiling-mounted air conditioner that cancels the outdoor unit by discharging the exchanged hot air into the ceiling space. However, although this solution cancels the outdoor unit, the hot air is discharged into the ceiling and is still in the room, and essentially cannot reduce the room temperature, so the effect is not good. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main object of the present invention is to provide an integrated device combining a gas water heater and an air conditioner, which can discharge the hot air of the air conditioner to the outside without an outdoor unit.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] An integrated device combining a gas water heater and an air conditioner includes an integrated housing. An air conditioner structure and a gas water heater structure are provided inside the integrated housing, and a partition is provided between the air conditioner structure and the gas water heater structure. The air conditioner structure includes an air conditioner fan, and the gas water heater structure includes a fan module and an air outlet pipe. The air outlet of the air conditioner fan and the air outlet of the fan module are both communicated with the air outlet pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the air conditioner structure further includes an air conditioner compressor, a condenser, and an evaporator. The air conditioner compressor compresses the refrigerant, and the air conditioner fan corresponds to the condenser and discharges the heat generated by the condenser. The gas water heater structure further includes an ignition module and a heating module. The ignition module connects natural gas to ignite the heating module, and the fan module then extracts and discharges the exhaust gas generated by combustion. A one-way valve is provided between the fan module and the air outlet pipe.

[0009] Preferably, a bottom plate is provided at the bottom of the integrated housing. A bottom air inlet is formed on the bottom plate and is equipped with a baffle. Meanwhile, an air filter is installed inside the bottom air inlet.

[0010] Preferably, the air-conditioning compressor is fixedly installed on a base, and the base is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the integrated housing. The condenser and the evaporator are also fixedly installed on the inner wall of the integrated housing. The condenser is located at the back of the air-conditioning compressor, and the evaporator is located above the air-conditioning compressor.

[0011] Preferably, a panel is provided on the front of the integrated housing. An air-conditioning air outlet is formed on the panel and is equipped with air guide grilles. An air-conditioning fan is installed at the front end of the condenser, and the air direction of the air-conditioning fan is directed towards the air-conditioning air outlet.

[0012] Preferably, an air outlet pipe is provided at the top of the condenser and passes through the top housing of the integrated housing, and the air outlet pipe is communicated with an air outlet duct.

[0013] Preferably, the gas water heater structure is provided with a drain pipe communicated with the condensate collector of the gas water heater structure. A section of condensate pipe extending outwards is externally connected to the bottom of the evaporator. The condensate pipe is connected to the drain pipe. The drain pipe extends downward through the bottom plate and out of the integrated housing, and the drain pipe is communicated with the condensate collector of the gas water heater structure. In this way, the two systems share one drain pipe, without the need for additional setting and no need to drill holes in the wall again, and the installation is relatively simple.

[0014] Preferably, a natural gas pipe is connected to the bottom of the ignition module, and the top end of the ignition module is communicated into the heating module. The natural gas is ignited by the ignition module and burns in the heating module.

[0015] Preferably, a heating pipe is wound around the outer wall of the heating module. One end of the heating pipe is connected to a cold water inlet pipe, and the other end is connected to a hot water outlet pipe. The hot water outlet pipe, the natural gas pipe, and the cold water inlet pipe all pass through the bottom plate and extend outside the integrated housing.

[0016] Preferably, a metal water-containing component is provided inside the heating module. The water-containing component is communicated with the condensate collector at the bottom of the evaporator through a pipeline; the upper end of the water-containing component is open; then the condensate generated during the operation of the air conditioner will be concentrated in the water-containing component, and when the gas water heater is operating, the condensate in the water-containing component will be evaporated, which eliminates the need for external pipelines and makes the overall installation more convenient.

[0017] Preferably, a fan module is also installed at the top of the heating module. The air inlet of the fan module is communicated with the inner cavity of the heating module, and the air outlet is connected to a gas water heater air outlet duct. The gas water heater air outlet duct extends upward through the top housing of the integrated housing and finally communicates and merges into the air outlet duct.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] In the present invention, by designing to integrally install a gas water heater and an air conditioning device into one device, and expanding with the outer shell of the gas water heater as the main structure, the function of the air conditioner is added. Both the gas water heater and the air conditioning device can work independently. Without occupying additional space in the kitchen, the gas water heater has the function of an air conditioner and can achieve refrigeration, greatly improving the comfort of people's activities in the kitchen in summer; the setting of the middle partition makes the gas water heater and the air conditioning device not affect each other and increases the relative independence of the two devices; and since the hot air outlet of the air conditioner borrows the original air outlet pipe of the gas water heater for exhaust, it is not necessary to separately open a hole in the kitchen wall during installation to exhaust the hot air outdoors, eliminating the problems existing in the original device.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0028] In order to make the technical means, creative features, achieved purposes and functions of the present invention easy to understand, the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installed", "provided with", "connected", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, a combined integrated device of a gas water heater and an air conditioner, its external structure includes an integrated housing 1. A bottom plate 4 is provided at the bottom of the integrated housing 1. As Figure 3 shown, a bottom air inlet 5 is opened on the bottom plate 4 and a baffle is configured. At the same time, an air filter 10 is installed inside the bottom air inlet 5 to prevent the air entering the inside of the integrated housing 1 from being mixed with dust particles to form an explosion hazard; a panel 2 is provided on the front of the integrated housing 1, and an air conditioner air outlet 3 is opened on the panel 2 and a grille is configured.

[0032] As Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown in the figure, an air-conditioning structure and a gas water heater structure are integrally installed inside the integrated housing 1 and separated by a partition. The air-conditioning structure mainly includes an air-conditioning compressor 11, a condenser 14, an evaporator 13, and an air-conditioning fan 12. The air-conditioning compressor 11 compresses the refrigerant, and the air-conditioning fan 12 discharges the heat generated by the condenser 14 to the outside through the air outlet pipe 15. The air-conditioning structure also has a cold air fan, which blows the cold air generated by the evaporator 13 into the room to lower the ambient temperature of the kitchen. The air-conditioning compressor 11 is fixedly installed on a base 21, and the base 21 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the integrated housing 1. The condenser 14 and the evaporator 13 are also fixedly installed on the inner wall of the integrated housing 1. The evaporator 13 is located behind the air-conditioning compressor 11, the condenser 14 is located above the air-conditioning compressor 11, and a cold air fan is installed at the front end of the evaporator 13. The air outlet of the cold air fan faces the air outlet 3 of the air conditioner.

[0033] In this embodiment, an air outlet pipe is provided at the top of the condenser 14, passing through the top housing of the integrated housing 1. One end of the air outlet pipe is connected to the air outlet pipe 15, and the other end is connected to the air outlet of the air-conditioning fan for air-conditioning heat dissipation. A one-way valve is also provided at one end of the air outlet pipe to prevent the exhaust gas discharged by the water heater fan module 18 from flowing back into the air-conditioning structure. The gas water heater structure is provided with a drain pipe 9 connected to the condensate collector of the gas water heater structure. A section of condensate pipe 22 extending externally is connected to the bottom of the evaporator 13, and the condensate pipe 22 is connected to the drain pipe 9. The drain pipe 9 extends downward through the bottom plate 4 and out of the integrated housing 1 for the recovery and discharge of condensate. Existing gas water heaters with first-level energy efficiency generate condensate, so they have a condensate collector and a drainage pipeline. The condensate of the air conditioner shares this drainage pipeline, which reduces the setting of pipelines and utilizes the holes originally reserved for the gas water heater in the kitchen, eliminating the need for drilling during installation, thus making the installation simple. If it is a gas water heater with other energy efficiencies, the drain pipe 9 is connected to the kitchen drain (which can be the drain of the sink or the drain for discharging waste water from the water purifier). A metal water storage component (not shown in the figure) can also be provided in the heating chamber of the gas water heater to temporarily collect the condensate generated by the air conditioner. The water storage component is usually a stainless steel cylinder. When the water heater is in use, the water storage component is heated to evaporate the condensate. Therefore, the startup time of the kitchen air conditioner is relatively short, and generally, the generated condensate is relatively less.

[0034] As Figure 7As shown, the structure of the gas water heater mainly includes an ignition module 16, a heating module 17, and a blower module 18. The ignition module 16 connects to natural gas and burns in the heating module 17 for heating, while the blower module 18 extracts and discharges the combustion heat. A natural gas pipe 7 is connected to the bottom of the ignition module 16, and the top of the ignition module 16 communicates with the inside of the heating module 17. After being ignited by the ignition module 16, the natural gas burns in the heating module 17. A heating pipe 20 is wound around the outer wall of the heating module 17. One end of the heating pipe 20 is connected to the cold water inlet pipe 8, and the other end is connected to the hot water outlet pipe 6. The hot water outlet pipe 6, the natural gas pipe 7, and the cold water inlet pipe 8 all pass through the bottom plate 4 and extend outside the integrated housing 1. A blower module 18 is also installed at the top of the heating module 17. The air inlet of the blower module 18 communicates with the inner cavity of the heating module 17, and the air outlet is connected to a hot gas exhaust pipe 19. The hot gas exhaust pipe 19 passes upward through the top housing of the integrated housing 1, and finally the combustion heat and exhaust gas are connected and discharged together through the exhaust pipe 15.

[0035] In actual use, first align the front and back sides of the integrated housing 1 and install it on the wall using the supporting mounting bracket. Then, connect the hot water outlet pipe 6, the natural gas pipe 7, the cold water inlet pipe 8, and the drain pipe 9 in sequence, and ensure that there is no obstruction at the bottom air inlet 5 provided at the bottom of the integrated housing 1. Just align the air outlet 3 of the air conditioner on the panel 2 to a suitable position. The air conditioner structure and the gas water heater structure in the device can be used separately or together. Taking refrigeration as an example, when the air conditioner structure works, the air conditioner compressor 11 compresses the refrigerant into a high-temperature and high-pressure gas, which is sent through the pipeline to the condenser 14 for heat dissipation and cooling into a liquid state. Then, it flows through the pipeline to the evaporator 13. When passing through the expansion valve provided on the evaporator 13, the refrigerant is cooled and depressurized to form a low-temperature refrigerant and then enters the evaporator 13. At this time, the air conditioner blower 12 works to blow the air entering from the bottom air inlet 5 through the pipeline of the evaporator 13. The heat of the air is absorbed and carried away by the refrigerant in the pipeline, thus forming cold air that blows out from the air outlet 3 of the air conditioner. When the gas water heater structure works, while opening the hot water outlet pipe 6, cold water enters the heating pipe 20 from the cold water inlet pipe 8. At the same time, the ignition module 16 is connected and ignited to work, burning and releasing heat in the heating module 17 to heat the cold water in the heating pipe 20, thus forming hot water for discharge. The combustion heat and exhaust gas are also extracted by the blower module 18 working synchronously and are discharged together through the hot gas exhaust pipe 19 into the exhaust pipe 15. The operation of the air conditioner structure and the gas water heater structure does not interfere with each other, making the entire integrated device more in line with the actual use environment. People can independently switch the two devices according to needs, making the entire integrated device more promising in application.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited by the above embodiments, and what is described in the above embodiments and the specification is only to illustrate the principles of the present invention.
