[0002] Air conditioners have become an essential appliance, widely used in homes, businesses, transportation, and many other fields. In related technologies, an air conditioner consists of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is installed indoors and is equipped with an evaporator, while the outdoor unit is installed outdoors and is equipped with a condenser and compressor. The indoor unit also has an electrical control box, which houses various electrical components and heat dissipation elements. The indoor unit's casing is equipped with an air inlet and an air outlet. Indoor air enters the casing through the air inlet, exchanges heat with the evaporator, and is then blown into the room through the air outlet, thereby regulating the indoor temperature. During installation, the indoor unit is installed in a designated location based on the indoor furniture layout, and the outdoor unit is installed on an outdoor mounting platform.

[0003] During the implementation of the embodiments of the present disclosure, it was found that at least the following problems exist in the related art:

[0004] Although a heat dissipation element is provided in the electric control box, the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation element is poor.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the above background technology section is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to ordinary technicians in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the disclosed embodiments, a brief summary is given below.

[0038] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0039] The first embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, also known as a ceiling-mounted integrated air conditioner, which includes a housing 100, an evaporation module, a condensation module, and a compressor module. Figure 1 As shown, the housing 100 includes a first compartment 110 and a second compartment 120. The first compartment 110 is provided with an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 114. The evaporation module is disposed within the first compartment 110 and includes an evaporator 200 and a first fan 203. The condensing module is disposed within the second compartment 120 and includes a sleeve body 240. The sleeve body 240 comprises an inner tube and an outer tube. The outer tube is sleeved within the inner tube, forming a medium passage therebetween. The first end of the inner tube is connected to the first end of the evaporator 200. The medium passage is filled with a heat exchange medium, which is used to exchange heat with the refrigerant circulating within the inner tube. The compressor module is disposed within the second compartment 120. Its exhaust port is connected to the second end of the inner tube, and its intake port is connected to the second end of the evaporator 200.

[0040] In this embodiment, the housing 100 is suspended from the ceiling of the room, and both the evaporation module and the condensing module are housed within the housing 100. This eliminates the need for a separate outdoor unit and eliminates the need for drilling holes to the outside. When the first fan 203 is operating, indoor air enters the first chamber 110 through the air inlet 111, exchanges heat with the evaporator 200, and is blown into the room through the air outlet 114. Because the housing 100 is suspended indoors, air cooling is inconvenient for the condensing module, so a casing-in-tube heat exchange system is used. The refrigerant from the compressor flows from the exhaust port to the inner tube of the casing body 240. A heat exchange medium, such as water, circulates within the medium channel, exchanging heat with the refrigerant within the inner tube, thereby meeting the heat exchange requirements of the condensing module. After exchanging heat with the heat exchange medium, the refrigerant in the inner tube flows to the evaporator 200. The refrigerant in the evaporator 200 exchanges heat with the air in the first chamber 110, then flows to the compressor module for recompression. In this way, the ceiling-mounted all-in-one machine integrates the evaporation module, the condensing module with shell-and-tube heat exchange, and the compressor module into an integrated design, which has high integration and convenient installation, can save outdoor space, and has high heat exchange efficiency.

[0041] Optionally, the sleeve body 240 is arranged in a spiral from bottom to top. In this way, the spiral arrangement can enhance the structural stability of the sleeve body 240 and facilitate the arrangement of a longer sleeve body 240 in a limited space, thereby improving heat exchange performance.

[0042] Optionally, the medium channel is provided with a medium inlet and a medium outlet, with the medium inlet positioned at a lower height than the medium outlet. Thus, when heat exchange is required, the heat exchange medium flows upward from the medium inlet along the medium channel to the medium outlet. When the medium channel needs to be drained, the medium inlet is opened, and the heat exchange medium is automatically discharged from the medium inlet under the action of gravity.

[0043] Optionally, the sleeve body 240 is coiled to define a first installation area in the middle, and the compressor is installed in the first installation area. In this way, the space of the second chamber 120 is fully utilized, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the casing 100.

[0044] Alternatively, as Figure 2 As shown, the compressor module includes a compressor body 250 and a damping plate 260. A first damping assembly is provided on the upper surface of damping plate 260, and a second damping assembly is provided on the lower surface of damping plate 260. The compressor body 250 is mounted on the first damping assembly, and damping plate 260 is mounted to the floor of the second chamber 120 via the second damping assembly. This dual damping solution effectively reduces vibration generated during compressor operation, meeting the noise reduction requirements of ceiling-mounted integrated units installed indoors.

[0045] Optionally, the first shock-absorbing assembly includes a mounting bracket 263 and a first rubber ring 261. Mounting bracket 263 is used to support compressor body 250. A first end of first rubber ring 261 is connected to the upper surface of shock-absorbing plate 260, and a second end of first rubber ring 261 is connected to mounting bracket 263. Thus, first rubber ring 261 provides vibration reduction between compressor body 250 and shock-absorbing plate 260.

[0046] Optionally, the mounting bracket 263 is provided with four legs, and a corresponding first rubber ring 261 is arranged at each leg.

[0047] Optionally, the second shock-absorbing assembly includes a second rubber ring 262. The first end of the second rubber ring 262 is connected to the lower surface of the shock-absorbing plate 260, and the second end is connected to the bottom plate of the second chamber 120. In this way, the second rubber ring 262 is used to absorb vibrations between the shock-absorbing plate 260 and the bottom plate.

[0048] Optionally, the shock-absorbing plate 260 is constructed as a rectangle, and a corresponding second rubber ring 262 is arranged at each of the four corners.

[0049] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the evaporator 200 includes a first heat exchange section 210 and a second heat exchange section 220. The second heat exchange section 220 is connected to the first heat exchange section 210 in a curved manner, and the inner side of the curved portion forms a second installation area. The first fan 203 is located in the second installation area. This fully utilizes the space in the first compartment 110, which helps reduce the volume of the housing 100.

[0050] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the first chamber 110 includes a first side panel 101 and a second side panel 102 facing each other, and an air inlet 111 is formed on the first side panel 101 and / or the second side panel 102. Thus, when two air inlets 111 are provided, the one on the first side panel 101 is referred to as the first air inlet 112, and the one on the second side panel 102 is referred to as the second air inlet 113, which helps to increase the amount of air entering.

[0051] Alternatively, as Figure 1 As shown, the first chamber 110 is adjacent to the second chamber 120 via a middle partition 106, and the middle partition 106 is provided with an auxiliary outlet 122. The second chamber 120 is provided with an auxiliary inlet 121, which is connected to the auxiliary outlet 122. The ceiling-mounted integrated unit also includes an electrical control box 130, which is disposed on the side of the exterior of the housing 100 and has a heat dissipation inlet 131 and a heat dissipation outlet 132, which are connected to the auxiliary inlet 121. In this way, air can flow through the heat dissipation inlet 131, heat dissipation outlet 132, auxiliary inlet 121, and auxiliary outlet 122 in sequence into the first chamber 110, thereby dissipating heat from the heat dissipation element 133 within the electrical control box 130.

[0052] The second embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, comprising a housing 100, an evaporation module, a condensation module and an electric control box 130. Figure 3 As shown, the interior of the housing 100 is divided by a central partition 106 into a first chamber 110 and a second chamber 120. The first chamber 110 is provided with a first air inlet 112 and an air outlet 114, while the second chamber 120 is provided with an auxiliary inlet 121. The central partition 106 is provided with an auxiliary outlet 122, and the auxiliary inlet 121 and the auxiliary outlet 122 are interconnected. The evaporation module is disposed within the first chamber 110 and includes an evaporator 200 and a first fan 203. The condensing module is disposed within the second chamber 120. The electrical control box 130 is disposed on the side of the exterior of the housing 100 and is provided with a heat dissipation inlet 131 and a heat dissipation outlet 132, and the heat dissipation outlet 132 is interconnected with the auxiliary inlet 121.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the first fan 203 is activated, indoor air enters the electrical control box 130 through the heat dissipation inlet 131, dissipates heat from the heat dissipation element 133, and then flows through the heat dissipation outlet 132 to the auxiliary inlet 121. Then, it enters the first chamber 110 through the auxiliary outlet 122, exchanges heat with the evaporator 200, and is blown into the room through the air outlet 114. In this way, the above-described air path dissipates heat from the electrical control box 130, and the dissipated air can be blown back into the room after exchanging heat with the evaporator 200. Consequently, the dissipated air does not significantly affect the indoor temperature.

[0054] Alternatively, as Figure 1As shown, the first compartment 110 includes a first side panel 101 and a second side panel 102 facing each other, and the second compartment 120 includes a third side panel 103 and a fourth side panel 104 facing each other. The third side panel 103 is connected to the first side panel 101, and the fourth side panel 104 is connected to the second side panel 102. A first end of a middle partition 106 is connected to the junction of the third side panel 103 and the first side panel 101, and a second end of the middle partition 106 is connected to the junction of the fourth side panel 104 and the second side panel 102. Thus, the connection between the multiple side panels and the middle partition 106 enhances the structural stability of the housing 100.

[0055] Alternatively, as Figure 3 As shown, a corner panel 180 is provided within the second compartment 120. This corner panel 180 defines a corner space at the junction of the third side panel 103 and the middle partition 106. An auxiliary outlet 122 is provided at the first end of the middle partition 106 within the corner space, while an auxiliary inlet 121 is provided on the third side panel 103 within the corner space. This facilitates the rapid flow of air from the auxiliary inlet 121 into the auxiliary outlet 122.

[0056] Optionally, the first air inlet 112 is provided at the connection between the first side plate 101 and the middle partition plate 106 .

[0057] Optionally, a second air inlet 113 is provided on the second side plate 102 , and the second air inlet 113 is located at the connection between the second side plate 102 and the middle partition plate 106 .

[0058] Alternatively, as Figure 4 As shown, the first air inlet 112 is provided with a controllably rotatable first damper 171, and the auxiliary outlet 122 is provided with a controllably rotatable second damper 172. In this way, by controlling the rotation angles of the first damper 171 and the second damper 172, the air intake of the first air inlet 112 and the auxiliary outlet 122 can be adjusted.

[0059] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a controller configured to control the opening states of the first damper 171 and the second damper 172 according to the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 in the electric control box 130 .

[0060] Optionally, when the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is less than or equal to a first temperature, the controller controls the first damper 171 to be fully open. When the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is greater than the first temperature and less than or equal to a second temperature, the controller controls the first damper 171 to be half open. When the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is greater than the second temperature, the controller controls the first damper 171 to be closed.

[0061] In this embodiment, the opening states of the first damper 171 include fully open, half open, and closed. Furthermore, as the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 gradually increases, the first damper 171 changes from fully open to half open and finally closes. This reduces the airflow through the first damper 171, which increases the airflow through the second damper 172.

[0062] Optionally, when the temperature of the heat dissipating element 133 is greater than the third temperature, the controller controls the second damper 172 to be fully open. When the temperature of the heat dissipating element 133 is greater than the fourth temperature and less than or equal to the third temperature, the controller controls the second damper 172 to be half open. When the temperature of the heat dissipating element 133 is less than or equal to the fourth temperature, the controller controls the second damper 172 to be closed.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first damper 171 can be opened in three states: fully open, half open, and closed. Furthermore, as the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 gradually increases, the first damper 171 changes from closed to half open, and finally to fully open. This helps increase the air volume passing through the heat dissipation element 133, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.

[0064] Optionally, the first temperature is set to 50°C, and / or the second temperature is set to 75°C, and / or the third temperature is set to 30°C, and / or the fourth temperature is set to 15°C. For example, the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is set to t, and when t≤15°C, the first damper 171 is fully opened and the second damper 172 is closed. When 15°C<t≤30°C, the first damper 171 is fully opened and the second damper 172 is half open. When 30°C<t≤50°C, the first damper 171 is fully opened and the second damper 172 is fully opened. When 50°C<t≤75°C, the first damper 171 is half open and the second damper 172 is fully opened. When 75°C<t, the first damper 171 is closed and the second damper 172 is fully opened.

[0065] The third embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, comprising a housing 100, an evaporation module and a flow guide 230. Figure 5 As shown, the housing 100 includes a first chamber 110, which is provided with a first air inlet 112 and an air outlet 114, and the first air inlet 112 is provided on the first side plate 101 of the first chamber 110. The evaporation module is provided in the first chamber 110, and the evaporation module includes an evaporator 200. Figure 6As shown, the evaporator 200 has a first surface 201 and a second surface 202. The first surface 201 faces the air outlet 114, and the second surface 202 faces away from the air outlet 114. The first air inlet 112 is located on one side of the first surface 201 of the evaporator 200. The first end of the first surface 201 is adjacent to the first side panel 101 and is located on the first side of the first air inlet 112. The first end of the flow guide 230 is connected to the first end of the first surface 201, and the second end of the flow guide 230 is connected to the first side panel 101 and is located on the second side of the first air inlet 112. A flow channel 234 is formed between the flow guide 230 and the first side panel 101. The flow channel 234 is used to guide the air from the first air inlet 112 to the second surface 202.

[0066] In this embodiment, due to the layout design of the first air inlet 112, the air outlet 114, and the evaporator 200, air entering through the first air inlet 112 is directly blown toward the first surface 201 of the evaporator 200, and then blown out through the air outlet 114, resulting in insufficient heat exchange between the air and the evaporator 200. Therefore, this embodiment provides a flow guide 230, forming a flow channel 234 between the flow guide 230 and the first side panel 101. Thus, after entering through the first air inlet 112, air flows along the flow channel 234 toward the second surface 202, then passes through the first surface 201 and flows toward the air outlet 114, and finally is blown from the air outlet 114 into the room. Therefore, under the action of the flow guide 230, the air entering through the first air inlet 112 can fully exchange heat with the evaporator 200, which is beneficial to improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0067] Alternatively, as Figure 6 As shown, the flow guide member 230 includes a first plate segment 231 and a second plate segment 232. The first end of the first plate segment 231 is connected to the first end of the first surface 201. The first plate segment 231 is parallel to the first side panel 101 and spaced apart from the first side panel 101. The first end of the second plate segment 232 is connected to the second end of the first plate segment 231, and the second end of the second plate segment 232 is connected to the second side of the first air inlet 112. Thus, the design of the first plate segment 231 being parallel to the first side panel 101 helps increase the ventilation area of the flow guide channel 234, thereby increasing the amount of air entering.

[0068] Optionally, the flow guide member 230 further includes a third plate segment 233. The first end of the third plate segment 233 is connected to the second end of the second plate segment 232, and the second end of the third plate segment 233 is connected to the second side of the first air inlet 112. The third plate segment 233 is perpendicular to the first side panel 101. Thus, the flow guide member 230 is composed of three connected plate segments, which optimizes the air path at the first air inlet 112, allowing air to flow more smoothly along the flow channel 234 toward the second surface 202 of the evaporator 200.

[0069] Optionally, the first chamber 110 is further provided with a second air inlet 113, which is disposed on the second side panel 102 of the first chamber 110 and is located on one side of the second surface 202 of the evaporator 200. The second side panel 102 is arranged opposite the first side panel 101. Thus, the provision of the second air inlet 113 increases the amount of air entering, and air entering through the second air inlet 113 is directly blown toward the second surface 202, eliminating the need for a flow guide 230.

[0070] Optionally, first compartment 110 further comprises a fifth side panel 105. A first end of fifth side panel 105 is connected to first side panel 101, and a second end of fifth side panel 105 is connected to second side panel 102. Fifth side panel 105 defines an air outlet 114. This makes the layout of air inlet 111 and air outlet 114 of housing 100 more compact.

[0071] Optionally, the evaporator 200 includes a first heat exchange section 210 and a second heat exchange section 220. The first heat exchange section 210 is opposite the air outlet 114. The second heat exchange section 220 is connected at an angle to the first heat exchange section 210 and is opposite the first air inlet 112. Furthermore, the surface of the first heat exchange section 210 facing the air outlet 114 and the surface of the second heat exchange section 220 facing the first air inlet 112 form a first surface 201. In this embodiment, the two obliquely connected heat exchange sections facilitate full utilization of the space in the first chamber 110 and facilitate the arrangement of a larger heat exchange area.

[0072] Optionally, the first heat exchange section 210 and the second heat exchange section 220 are vertically connected and form an L-shape as a whole. The first heat exchange section 210 is arranged parallel to the fifth side plate 105 , and the second heat exchange section 220 is arranged parallel to the second side plate 102 .

[0073] Optionally, the housing 100 further includes a second compartment 120. The second compartment 120 is arranged adjacent to the first compartment 110 via a middle partition 106. The air conditioner further includes a condensing module, which is disposed in the second compartment 120. Furthermore, an air passage 235 is formed between the second surface 202 and the middle partition 106, and the air passage 235 is connected to the drainage passage 234, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 In this embodiment, air enters through the first air inlet 112 and flows along the guide channel 234 to the air channel 235, then passes through the second surface 202 and the first surface 201 to the air outlet 114. The reserved air channel 235 facilitates air circulation and allows for sufficient heat exchange with the evaporator 200.

[0074] Optionally, the condensing module includes a sleeve body 240, which comprises an inner tube and an outer tube. The first end of the inner tube is connected to the first end of the evaporator 200. The outer tube is sleeved within the inner tube, with a medium passageway formed between the inner tube and the outer tube. The medium passageway is filled with a heat exchange medium, which exchanges heat with the refrigerant flowing through the inner tube. Thus, the condensing module employs a sleeve heat exchange method, achieving high condensing efficiency.

[0075] Alternatively, as Figure 6 As shown, the second compartment 120 is provided with an auxiliary inlet 121. The middle partition 106 defines an interlayer space 140, within which a portion of the sleeve body 240 is located. Interlayer space 140 is provided with a first interlayer inlet 160 and an interlayer outlet 150. The first interlayer inlet 160 is connected to the auxiliary inlet 121, and the interlayer outlet 150 is connected to the air passage 235. Furthermore, external air can enter the air passage 235 sequentially through the auxiliary inlet 121, the first interlayer inlet 160, and the interlayer outlet 150.

[0076] In this embodiment, the sleeve body 240 located within the interlayer space 140 is referred to as the first pipe segment 241, and the sleeve body 240 located within the second compartment 120 is referred to as the second pipe segment 242. When the condensing module employs a pipe-in-pipe heat exchange system, insufficient heat exchange capacity may occur. For example, leakage of the heat exchange medium or blockage of the medium channel may lead to a decrease in the heat exchange capacity of the condensing module. In this case, external air is introduced into the interlayer space 140 through the auxiliary inlet 121 and the first interlayer inlet 160. This air exchanges heat with the first pipe segment 241 through air cooling, thereby improving the overall heat exchange performance of the sleeve body 240. Furthermore, the heat-exchanged air flows from the interlayer outlet 150 to the air channel 235, where it exchanges heat with the evaporator 200 and is then blown back into the room. This ensures that the heat-exchanged air does not significantly affect the indoor temperature. Furthermore, in conjunction with the electrical control box 130 of the first and second embodiments, the electrical control box 130 is provided with a heat dissipation inlet 131 and a heat dissipation outlet 132, which are interconnected. The heat dissipation outlet 132 is also connected to the auxiliary inlet 121. Air can then flow sequentially through the heat dissipation inlet 131, the heat dissipation outlet 132, the auxiliary inlet 121, the first interlayer inlet 160, and the interlayer outlet 150 to the air passage 235. This air path allows heat to be dissipated from the heat dissipation element 133 while also exchanging heat with the first pipe section 241.

[0077] Optionally, a corner plate 180 is used to define a corner space at the junction of the third side panel 103 and the middle partition panel 106. The first interlayer inlet 160 is provided at the first end of the middle partition panel 106 and is located within this corner space. The auxiliary inlet 121 is provided on the third side panel 103 and is located within this corner space. This facilitates the rapid entry of air from the auxiliary inlet 121 into the first interlayer inlet 160.

[0078] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown, the interlayer outlet 150 includes a first interlayer outlet 151 and a second interlayer outlet 152. The interlayer space 140 includes a first interlayer section 141 and a second interlayer section 142. The first interlayer section 141 is used to place the condensation module and is provided with a first interlayer outlet 151. The second interlayer section 142 is connected to the first interlayer section 141 and is provided with a first interlayer inlet 160 and a second interlayer outlet 152. In addition, a rotatable switching damper 170 is provided at the connection point between the first interlayer section 141 and the second interlayer section 142, and the switching damper 170 has a first position, a second position and a third position; wherein the first position corresponds to the switching damper 170 blocking the first interlayer inlet 160, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 (a) The second position corresponds to the switching damper 170 avoiding the first interlayer inlet 160 and blocking the connection between the first interlayer section 141 and the second interlayer section 142, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 (b) The third position corresponds to the switching damper 170 avoiding the connection between the first interlayer inlet 160, the first interlayer section 141 and the second interlayer section 142, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 (c) shown.

[0079] In this embodiment, when the switch damper 170 is rotated to the first position, air cannot enter the interlayer space 140. Figure 7 (a) When the switch damper 170 is rotated to the second position, air can enter the first interlayer section 141 from the auxiliary inlet 121 and the first interlayer inlet 160 in sequence, and then flow from the second interlayer outlet 152 to the air channel 235, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 (b) As shown. At this time, the air cannot enter the second interlayer section 142 to exchange heat with the first pipe section 241, and can only dissipate heat to the heat dissipation element 133. When the switch damper 170 rotates to the third position, the air can enter the second interlayer section 142 and the first interlayer section 141 from the auxiliary inlet 121 and the first interlayer inlet 160 in sequence, and then flow from the first interlayer outlet 151 and the second interlayer outlet 152 to the air channel 235, as shown. Figure 7 (c) . At this point, heat can be dissipated from the heat dissipation element 133 and the first pipe section 241 simultaneously. Thus, by arranging the switching damper 170, the first interlayer outlet 151, and the second interlayer outlet 152, the position of the switching damper 170 can be adjusted as needed. For example, when the controller detects that the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is normal and the heat exchange of the condensing module is normal, the switching damper 170 is controlled to rotate to the first position. When the controller detects that the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 exceeds the preset temperature and the heat exchange of the condensing module is normal, the switching damper 170 is controlled to rotate to the second position. When the controller detects that the heat exchange capacity of the condensing module has decreased, the switching damper 170 is controlled to rotate to the third position.

[0080] Alternatively, as Figure 7 As shown in (d), the first interlayer section 141 is provided with a second interlayer inlet 161, and a third damper 173 is provided at the second interlayer inlet 161. The third damper 173 is controlled by a controller. Thus, the second interlayer inlet 161 can be used to introduce air into the interlayer space 140 for heat exchange with the first pipe section 241. The second interlayer inlet 161 is located at the second end of the middle partition 106. The third damper 173 opens toward the outside of the interlayer space 140 and, when opened, separates the second interlayer inlet 161 from the second air inlet 113. This can reduce the impact of air entering the second interlayer inlet 161 and the second air inlet 113, which are relatively close to each other.

[0081] In this embodiment, when the controller detects that the heat exchange capacity of the condensing module decreases and the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is lower than the preset temperature, the controller controls the switching damper 170 to rotate to the first position and controls the third damper 173 to open. Figure 7 (d) As shown. At this time, only the air from the second interlayer inlet 161 is used to exchange heat with the first pipe section 241. When the controller detects that the heat exchange capacity of the condensing module has decreased, the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is higher than the preset temperature, and the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 is higher than the temperature of the condensing module, it controls the switching damper 170 to rotate to the second position and controls the third damper 173 to open, as shown in FIG. Figure 7 (e) At this point, air from the second interlayer inlet 161 exchanges heat with the first pipe section 241, while air from the first interlayer inlet 160 exchanges heat with the heat dissipation element 133. This allows the positions of the switching damper 170 and the third damper 173 to be adjusted based on the different conditions of the condensing module and the heat dissipation element 133, improving the heat dissipation capacity of the electrical control box 130 while ensuring the heat exchange capacity of the condensing module.

[0082] Optionally, a first temperature sensor is provided within the electrical control box 130. The first temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the heat dissipation element 133 within the electrical control box 130 and transmit a corresponding first temperature signal to the air conditioner controller. A second temperature sensor is provided on the sleeve body 240. The second temperature sensor is used to detect the temperature of the sleeve body 240 and transmit a corresponding second temperature signal to the air conditioner controller. The switching damper 170 is driven by a damper motor electrically connected to the air conditioner controller. Thus, the controller determines whether the temperature of the electrical control box 130 exceeds a preset temperature based on the first temperature signal, and determines whether the heat exchange capacity of the condensing module has decreased based on the second temperature signal. The controller then adjusts the positions of the switching damper 170 and the third damper 173 via the damper motor.

[0083] The fourth embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioning system, including an air conditioner, an air guide channel 300 and an air outlet panel 310. Figure 8As shown, the air conditioner includes a housing 100, an evaporation module, and a condensation module. Housing 100 includes a first compartment 110 and a second compartment 120. First compartment 110 is provided with an air inlet 111 and an air outlet 114. The evaporation module is disposed within first compartment 110, while the condensation module is disposed within second compartment 120. A first end of an air guide duct 300 is connected to air outlet 114. An air outlet panel 310 is provided with a panel inlet 311 and a panel outlet 312. Panel inlet 311 is connected to the second end of air guide duct 300, while panel outlet 312 is used to discharge air from the air conditioner.

[0084] In this embodiment, the air conditioner adopts an all-in-one mode, integrating the evaporation module and the condensing module into the housing 100. There is no need to arrange a separate outdoor unit outdoors, thus saving outdoor space. When the air conditioning system is operating, the air from the air outlet 114 flows along the air guide channel 300 to the panel inlet 311, and then blows into the room from the panel outlet 312. In this way, by arranging the air guide channel 300, the installation position of the air conditioner can be flexibly adjusted. For example, the air conditioner can be hoisted in an idle position indoors, and the air guide channel 300 can be used to guide the air to the designated position. The air outlet panel 310 can improve the aesthetics of the interior decoration, for example, by integrating the air outlet panel 310 with the indoor ceiling.

[0085] Optionally, the condensing module includes a sleeve body 240, which includes an inner tube body and an outer tube body. The first end of the inner tube body is connected to the first end of the evaporation module. The outer tube body is sleeved on the inner tube body, and a medium channel is formed between the outer tube body and the inner tube body. The medium channel is filled with a heat exchange medium, which is used to exchange heat with the refrigerant circulating in the inner tube body. In this embodiment, because the housing 100 is hoisted indoors, it is inconvenient to use air cooling for heat exchange in the condensing module, so a sleeve heat exchange method is used. The refrigerant in the inner tube body circulates in the medium channel to exchange heat, thereby meeting the heat exchange requirements of the condensing module.

[0086] Optionally, the air conditioner further includes a compressor module. The compressor module is disposed within the second compartment 120, with its exhaust port connected to the second end of the inner tube and its intake port connected to the second end of the evaporation module. In this embodiment, the compressor module discharges refrigerant to the second end of the inner tube. The refrigerant in the inner tube exchanges heat with the heat exchange medium before flowing from the first end to the evaporator 200. The refrigerant in the evaporator 200 exchanges heat with the air in the first compartment 110 and then flows to the compressor module for recompression.

[0087] The specific structures of the condensing module, evaporating module and compressor module are detailed above and will not be repeated here.

[0088] Alternatively, as Figure 1As shown, the first chamber 110 includes a first side panel 101 and a second side panel 102 facing each other, and an air inlet 111 is formed on the first side panel 101 and / or the second side panel 102. Thus, when two air inlets 111 are provided, the one on the first side panel 101 is referred to as the first air inlet 112, and the one on the second side panel 102 is referred to as the second air inlet 113, which helps to increase the amount of air entering.

[0089] Optionally, first compartment 110 further comprises a fifth side panel 105. A first end of fifth side panel 105 is connected to first side panel 101, and a second end of fifth side panel 105 is connected to second side panel 102. Fifth side panel 105 defines an air outlet 114. This makes the layout of air inlet 111 and air outlet 114 of housing 100 more compact.

[0090] Alternatively, as Figure 9 As shown, the air conditioning system also includes a neck member 320, and the neck member 320 includes a first turning section 321 and a second turning section 322. The first end of the first turning section 321 is connected to the second end of the air guide channel 300. The first end of the second turning section 322 is connected to the second end of the first turning section 321, and the second end of the second turning section 322 is connected to the panel inlet 311. In addition, the second turning section 322 is arranged non-parallel to the first turning section 321. In this embodiment, the direction of air flow can be controlled by setting the first turning section 321 and the second turning section 322. This non-parallel arrangement allows the air to be turned inside the neck member 320, thereby ensuring that the air can enter the panel inlet 311 along a predetermined path.

[0091] Alternatively, as Figure 9 As shown, a deflector 330 is provided within the bend member 320. The deflector 330 is arranged along the airflow direction of the bend member 320 and divides the airflow channel of the bend member 320 into two sub-channels 331. This facilitates the flow of air within the bend member 320, with air in the air guide channel 300 flowing toward the panel inlet 311 through the two sub-channels 331 of the bend member 320.

[0092] Optionally, the air outlet panel 310 includes a first panel surface and a second panel surface. The first panel surface is used to define a panel inlet 311. An air inlet frame is provided around the periphery of the panel inlet 311. The air inlet frame is used to mount the second end of the air guide channel 300. The second panel surface is disposed opposite the first panel surface and is used to define a panel outlet 312. In this embodiment, when installed, the first panel surface faces the roof, and the second panel surface faces the interior of the room. Furthermore, when a neck member 320 is provided, the second end of the second turning section 322 is mounted on the air inlet frame.

[0093] Alternatively, as Figure 10As shown, the panel outlet 312 includes a first panel outlet 313 and two second panel outlets 314. The first panel outlet 313 is located in the middle of the second panel surface. The two second panel outlets 314 are located on either side of the first panel outlet 313. In this embodiment, the first panel outlet 313 and the two second panel outlets 314 are arranged linearly, creating a wide airflow coverage area, increasing airflow and ensuring more uniform airflow.

[0094] Optionally, a rotatable air guide plate is provided at the first panel outlet 313. In this way, the air supply direction can be flexibly adjusted by using the air guide plate.

[0095] Optionally, the second panel outlet 314 is provided with an air outlet grille. In this way, the air outlet direction can be set by the arrangement and shape design of the grille to improve the comfort.
