The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.
[0059] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are illustrative and intended to provide further explanation of the present application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which the present application belongs.
[0060] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is also intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.
[0061] The present invention provides an air supply system for an air conditioner. Figures 1 to 5 The air supply system includes an air inlet cavity 10, a first cavity 20 and a second cavity 30 which are sequentially arranged and connected along the thickness direction of the air conditioner.
[0062] The air supply system further includes an air inlet, which is communicated with the air inlet cavity 10 so that external air flows into the air inlet cavity 10 through the air inlet.
[0063] The air supply system also includes an air duct assembly 40, which is arranged in the first cavity 20; the air duct assembly 40 includes an air duct portion 41 and a fan 42, the fan 42 has a first side air inlet 421 and a second side air inlet 422 arranged along its axial direction, and the axial direction of the fan 42 is parallel to or the same as the thickness direction of the air conditioner.
[0064] The outlet of the fan 42 is connected to the air duct portion 41 , that is, the air flow entering the fan 42 flows out from the outlet of the fan 42 , enters the air duct portion 41 , and then flows out from the air outlet of the air duct portion 41 .
[0065] The first side air inlet 421 faces the air inlet cavity 10 to communicate with the air inlet cavity 10 ; the second side air inlet 422 faces the second cavity 30 to communicate with the second cavity 30 .
[0066] There are one or more air duct components 40 , that is, there is at least one air duct component 40 . The one or more air duct components 40 include a first air duct component 401 .
[0067] A fourth opening 4012 is provided on the side wall of the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 facing the air inlet cavity 10, and the fourth opening 4012 can be opened and closed; a fifth opening 4013 is provided on the side wall of the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 facing the second cavity 30, and the fifth opening 4013 can be opened and closed.
[0068] When the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in an open state, the fourth opening 4012 is connected to the air inlet, so that part of the airflow entering from the air inlet enters the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 through the fourth opening 4012, and enters the second cavity 30 through the fifth opening 4013; this part of the airflow entering the second cavity 30 enters the fan 42 through the second side air inlet 422.
[0069] It should be noted that in the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401, the air duct section where the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are located is the preset air duct section 4015. That is, the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 includes the preset air duct section 4015. When the preset air duct section 4015 is used for air discharge, the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both closed. In other words, when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both open, the preset air duct section 4015 is necessarily not used for air discharge.
[0070] Specifically, the first cavity 20 includes a communication cavity portion, and the fifth opening 4013 is communicated with the communication cavity portion, so that the fifth opening 4013 is communicated with the second cavity 30 through the communication cavity portion.
[0071] The present application forms a bypass through the arrangement of the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013, i.e., airflow bypass technology. By controlling the opening and closing of the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013, switching between different air volume modes is achieved.
[0072] In the present application, the first side air inlet 421 faces the air inlet cavity 10, allowing the first side air inlet 421 to communicate with the air inlet cavity 10. This allows a portion of the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 10 to directly enter the fan 42 through the first side air inlet 421. The second side air inlet 422 faces the second cavity 30, allowing the second side air inlet 422 to communicate with the second cavity 30. Furthermore, the first cavity 20 includes a clearance cavity portion 21, allowing another portion of the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 10 to pass through the clearance cavity portion 21 into the second cavity 30, and then enter the fan 42 through the second side air inlet 422. This increases the air volume entering the fan 42, thereby improving the air volume of the air conditioner.
[0073] Specifically, when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in a closed state, the external airflow enters the air inlet cavity 10 through the air inlet, and the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 10 is divided into two parts, namely, the first part of the airflow and the second part of the airflow; the first part of the airflow directly enters the fan 42 through the first side air inlet 421; the second part of the airflow enters the second cavity 30 through the yield cavity portion 21, and then enters the fan 42 through the second side air inlet 422.
[0074] Specifically, when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both open, the external airflow entering from the air inlet is divided into two parts, namely the fifth airflow and the sixth airflow. The fifth airflow enters the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 through the fourth opening 4012 and enters the second cavity 30 through the fifth opening 4013. The sixth airflow enters the main cavity section 101 of the air inlet cavity 10. The sixth airflow is divided into two parts, namely the first airflow and the second airflow. The first airflow directly enters the fan 42 through the first side air inlet 421; the second airflow enters the second cavity 30 through the yield cavity portion 21. The airflow entering the second cavity 30 enters the fan 42 through the second side air inlet 422.
[0075] In the present application, there are two air duct assemblies 40, and the two air duct assemblies 40 are distributed along the thickness direction of the air conditioner; the two air duct assemblies 40 are the first air duct assembly 401 and the second air duct assembly 402; the first air duct assembly 401 is located on the side of the second air duct assembly 402 close to the air inlet cavity 10.
[0076] The fan 42 of the first air duct assembly 401 is a first fan 4201 , and the fan 42 of the second air duct assembly 402 is a second fan 4202 .
[0077] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the axial direction of the first fan 4201 is parallel to the axial direction of the second fan 4202; the first fan 4201 and the second fan 4202 are spaced apart along the length direction of the air conditioner, so that the first cavity 20 includes a clearance cavity portion 21 located between the first fan 4201 and the second fan 4202, so that another part of the airflow entering the air inlet cavity 10 enters the second cavity 30 through the clearance cavity portion 21, and then enters the first fan 4201 and the second fan 4202 through the second side air inlet 422 of the first fan 4201 and the second side air inlet 422 of the second fan 4202 respectively.
[0078] It should be noted that the thickness direction of the air conditioner must be perpendicular to the length direction of the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is placed vertically, the length direction of the air conditioner is its height direction.
[0079] Specifically, the first part of the airflow in the air inlet chamber 10 is divided into two parts, namely the third part of the airflow and the fourth part of the airflow; since the first air duct component 401 is located on the side of the second air duct component 402 close to the air inlet chamber 10, the third part of the airflow directly enters the first fan 4201 through the first side air inlet 421 of the first fan 4201; the first cavity 20 includes an avoidance cavity portion, which is located on the side of the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202 facing the air inlet chamber 10, and the avoidance cavity portion is arranged corresponding to the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202, so the fourth part of the airflow flows to the avoidance cavity portion and enters the second fan 4202 from the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202.
[0080] Specifically, the airflow entering the second cavity 30 enters the first fan 4201 and the second fan 4202 through the second side air inlet 422 of the first fan 4201 and the second side air inlet 422 of the second fan 4202 respectively.
[0081] Optionally, the first fan 4201 is an upper fan, and the second fan 4202 is a lower fan.
[0082] Optionally, along the axial direction of the first fan 4201, the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202 is located between the first side air inlet 421 and the second side air inlet 422 of the first fan 4201. Along the axial direction of the second fan 4202, the second side air inlet 422 of the first fan 4201 is located between the first side air inlet 421 and the second side air inlet 422 of the second fan 4202.
[0083] In the present application, the air duct portion 41 includes a first air duct section 411 and a second air duct section 412. A first outlet 423 and a second outlet 424 are provided on the outer circumferential surface of the fan 42, spaced apart along its circumference. The first end of the first air duct section 411 serves as its outlet, and the second end of the first air duct section 411 is connected to and communicates with the first outlet 423. The first end of the second air duct section 412 is connected to and communicates with the second outlet 424, and the second end of the second air duct section 412 serves as its outlet.
[0084] Specifically, the fan 42 includes a shielding member 425 that is movably disposed along the circumference of the fan 42 to block the first outlet 423 or the second outlet 424, thereby allowing the airflow within the fan 42 to flow out from the first outlet 423 or the second outlet 424. The air outlet direction of the fan 42 is switched by controlling the shielding member 425.
[0085] Specifically, when the blocking member 425 blocks the first outlet 423 , the first outlet 423 is in a closed state and the second outlet 424 is in an open state. The airflow in the fan 42 flows from the second outlet 424 into the second air duct section 412 and then flows out from the second end of the second air duct section 412 .
[0086] When the blocking member 425 blocks the second outlet 424 , the first outlet 423 is open and the second outlet 424 is closed, and the air flow in the fan 42 flows from the first outlet 423 into the first air duct section 411 and then flows out from the first end of the first air duct section 411 .

That is, the airflow in the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401 merges with the airflow in the second air duct section 412 of the second air duct assembly 402 through the first opening 4011 and the second opening 4021 , and then flows out from the third opening 4022 .

The first air inlet 11 and the second air inlet 12 are both connected to the air inlet cavity 10, so that external air enters the air inlet cavity 10 through the first air inlet 11 and / or the second air inlet 12. When the fourth opening 4012 is in an open state, the fourth opening 4012 is connected to the second air inlet 12.

The first chamber section is arranged opposite the air inlet so that airflow from the air inlet flows through the first chamber section and the main chamber section 101 in sequence; that is, airflow flows through the first chamber section into the main chamber section 101. The fourth opening 4012 is connected to the air inlet through the first chamber section.
[0114] Specifically, there are two first cavity sections, namely a second cavity section 102 and a third cavity section 103. The second cavity section 102 is arranged opposite the first air inlet 11, and the third cavity section 103 is arranged opposite the second air inlet 12. The airflow flowing in from the first air inlet 11 flows through the second cavity section 102 into the main cavity section 101; the airflow flowing in from the second air inlet 12 flows through the third cavity section 103 into the main cavity section 101.
[0115] Specifically, when the first air inlet 11 is closed and the second air inlet 12 is open, and when both the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are open, the external airflow entering from the second air inlet 12 is divided into two parts: a fifth airflow and a sixth airflow.

[0117] Specifically, the sixth portion of the airflow is the airflow that has undergone heat exchange with the heat exchanger 50 , that is, the first portion of the airflow and the second portion of the airflow are both the airflow that has undergone heat exchange with the heat exchanger 50 .
[0118] The fifth portion of airflow does not pass through the heat exchanger 50 , that is, does not exchange heat with the heat exchanger 50 , but directly enters the fan 42 .
[0119] In the present application, the fan 42 is a centrifugal fan, wherein the centrifugal fan has the characteristic of high wind pressure. Specifically, the fan 42 is a double-suction centrifugal fan.
[0120] In the present application, the air supply system further includes a first opening and closing component 71 , which is disposed at the fourth opening 4012 , so as to open or close the fourth opening 4012 through the first opening and closing component 71 .
[0121] In the present application, the air supply system further includes a second opening and closing component 72 , which is arranged at the fifth opening 4013 to open or close the fifth opening 4013 through the second opening and closing component 72 , that is, the opening and closing state of the fifth opening 4013 is realized through the second opening and closing component 72 .
[0122] In the present application, the first opening and closing component 71 is the first opening and closing mechanism 81 or the second opening and closing mechanism 82 ; the second opening and closing component 72 is the first opening and closing mechanism 81 or the second opening and closing mechanism 82 .
[0123] In the present application, the predetermined opening is the fourth opening 4012 or the fifth opening 4013. The first opening and closing mechanism 81 includes a plurality of opening and closing portions 811, which are sequentially distributed along a predetermined direction of the predetermined opening. Each opening and closing portion 811 is rotatably arranged about a predetermined axis. The predetermined axes of the plurality of opening and closing portions 811 are parallel and perpendicular to the plane in which the predetermined opening is located.
[0124] By rotating each opening and closing portion 811 around its preset axis, the multiple opening and closing portions 811 cover the preset opening, thereby closing the preset opening; at this time, the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in a closed state, and the preset opening is in a closed state.
[0125] Each opening and closing portion 811 is rotated about its predetermined axis so that a flow gap exists between any two adjacent opening and closing portions 811, thereby opening the predetermined opening. At this point, the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in the open state, and the predetermined opening is in the open state. That is, the airflow flowing through the predetermined opening flows through the flow gap between any two adjacent opening and closing portions 811.
[0126] Optionally, the preset direction of the preset opening is parallel to the length direction of the air conditioner.
[0127] Optionally, the preset direction of the preset opening is the length direction of the fourth opening 4012 or the fifth opening 4013 .
[0128] Optionally, the opening and closing portion 811 is a plate-like structure. For example, the opening and closing portion 811 is a sheet-like structure.
[0129] Optionally, the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is a grid structure; and the opening and closing portion 811 is a grid sheet.
[0130] Optionally, when the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in the closed state, the multiple opening and closing portions 811 are sequentially spliced to block the preset opening, thereby closing the preset opening. Alternatively, when the preset direction of the preset opening is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the air conditioner, and when the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in the closed state, the opening and closing portions 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 are arranged at an acute angle with the longitudinal direction of the air conditioner, and the acute angle is a small angle, so that the opening and closing portions 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 are inclined relative to the longitudinal direction of the air conditioner, thereby ensuring that the multiple opening and closing portions 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 block the preset opening, thereby ensuring that the airflow inside the preset opening does not flow out, or ensuring that the airflow outside the preset opening does not flow into the preset opening.
[0131] In this application, if Figure 12 As shown, the second opening and closing mechanism 82 includes an opening and closing member 821 and a driving assembly. The driving assembly is connected to the opening and closing member 821 to drive the opening and closing member 821 to move closer to or away from the preset opening, so that the opening and closing member 821 blocks or avoids the preset opening, thereby closing or opening the preset opening.
[0132] The opening and closing member 821 is moved in a direction close to the preset opening until the opening and closing member 821 blocks the preset opening. At this time, the second opening and closing mechanism 82 is in a closed state and the preset opening is in a closed state.
[0133] By moving the opening and closing member 821 in a direction away from the preset opening, the opening and closing member 821 is away from the preset opening, so that the opening and closing member 821 avoids the preset opening. At this time, the second opening and closing mechanism 82 is in the open state and the preset opening is in the open state.
[0134] Optionally, the opening and closing member 821 is made to stick to or block the preset opening so that the opening and closing member 821 covers the preset opening.
[0135] In the present application, the driving assembly includes a driving member 822 and an eccentric wheel 823; the output portion of the driving member 822 is connected to the eccentric wheel 823 to drive the eccentric wheel 823 to rotate around its central axis; the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 823 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the opening and closing member 821 approaching or moving away from the preset opening; the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric wheel 823 is used to abut against the opening and closing member 821.
[0136] The eccentric wheel 823 includes a convex portion and a concave portion. The convex portion refers to the portion of the outer circumference of the eccentric wheel 823 where the distance from the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 823 is the longest, and the concave portion refers to the portion of the outer circumference of the eccentric wheel 823 where the distance from the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 823 is the shortest.
[0137] During the rotation of the eccentric wheel 823, and during the process of gradually changing from the contact between the convex portion and the opening and closing member 821 to the contact between the concave portion and the opening and closing member 821, the opening and closing member 821 is driven to move in a first direction. During the rotation of the eccentric wheel 823, and during the process of gradually changing from the contact between the concave portion and the opening and closing member 821 to the contact between the convex portion and the opening and closing member 821, the opening and closing member 821 is driven to move in a second direction; the second direction is opposite to the first direction.
[0138] One of the second direction and the first direction is the direction in which the opening and closing member 821 approaches the preset opening, and the other is the direction in which the opening and closing member 821 moves away from the preset opening. For example, the second direction is the direction in which the opening and closing member 821 approaches the preset opening, and the first direction is the direction in which the opening and closing member 821 moves away from the preset opening.
[0139] Optionally, the opening and closing member 821 is a plate-shaped structure, and one plate surface of the opening and closing member 821 is used to abut against the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric wheel 823.
[0140] Optionally, the output portion of the driving member 822 is an output shaft.
[0141] Optionally, the driving member 822 is a motor.
[0142] Optionally, there are multiple drive assemblies, that is, the second opening and closing mechanism 82 includes multiple drive assemblies, and the multiple drive assemblies are all connected to the opening and closing member 821 to jointly drive the opening and closing member 821 to move closer to or away from the preset opening.
[0143] exist Figure 12 In the embodiment, there are two driving assemblies, and because the eccentric wheels 823 of the two driving assemblies are arranged in a manner, the rotation directions of the eccentric wheels 823 of the two driving assemblies are opposite.

[0145] In the present application, the second opening and closing mechanism 82 also includes an elastic member 824, which has a first end and a second end relatively arranged along its elastic expansion and contraction direction; the elastic expansion and contraction direction of the elastic member 824 is parallel to or the same as the movement direction of the opening and closing member 821 approaching or moving away from the preset opening; the first end of the elastic member 824 is connected to the opening and closing member 821, and the second end of the elastic member 824 is fixedly connected.
[0146] When the eccentric wheel 823 drives the opening and closing member 821 to move in the second direction, the elastic member 824 is stretched; when the eccentric wheel 823 drives the opening and closing member 821 to move in the first direction, the stretched elastic member 824 retracts, so that the opening and closing member 821 remains in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the eccentric wheel 823 under the elastic force of the elastic member 824, that is, the elastic member 824 pulls the opening and closing member 821 gradually close to the rotation axis of the eccentric wheel 823.
[0147] Specifically, the elastic member 824 and the eccentric wheel 823 are located on the same side of the opening and closing member 821 .
[0148] Optionally, when the opening and closing member 821 is a plate-shaped structure, the elastic member 824 and the eccentric wheel 823 are located on the same plate surface side of the opening and closing member 821 .

Alternatively, as Figures 15 to 17 As shown, the second opening and closing mechanism 82 is arranged in the first cavity 20 and is located on the outside of the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401. The second end of the elastic member 824 is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the first cavity 20, and the main body of the driving member 822 is fixedly connected to the cavity wall of the first cavity 20.
[0153] Optionally, when the second opening and closing mechanism 82 is disposed within the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401, a protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401, and the second end of the elastic member 824 is fixedly connected to the protrusion. Alternatively, when the second opening and closing mechanism 82 is disposed within the first cavity 20 and is located outside the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401, a protrusion is provided on the cavity wall of the first cavity 20, and the second end of the elastic member 824 is fixedly connected to the protrusion.

Multiple opening and closing portions 811 are sequentially distributed along a predetermined direction of the fourth opening 4012. The predetermined axes of the multiple opening and closing portions 811 are all perpendicular to the plane of the fourth opening 4012. By rotating each opening and closing portion 811 about its predetermined axis, the multiple opening and closing portions 811 are sequentially joined to block the fourth opening 4012, thereby closing the fourth opening 4012. In this state, the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in a closed state, and the fourth opening 4012 is in a closed state. By rotating each opening and closing portion 811 about its predetermined axis, a flow gap is created between any two adjacent opening and closing portions 811, thereby opening the fourth opening 4012. In this state, the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in an open state, and the fourth opening 4012 is in an open state. That is, airflow passing through the fourth opening 4012 flows through the flow gap between any two adjacent opening and closing portions 811.
[0155] The second opening and closing member 72 is the second opening and closing mechanism 82. The driving assembly drives the opening and closing member 821 toward or away from the fifth opening 4013, causing the opening and closing member 821 to block or avoid the fifth opening 4013, thereby closing or opening the fifth opening 4013. The opening and closing member 821 is moved toward the fifth opening 4013 until it blocks the fifth opening 4013, at which point the fifth opening 4013 is closed. The opening and closing member 821 is moved away from the fifth opening 4013, causing it to avoid the fifth opening 4013, at which point the fifth opening 4013 is opened.

The first air supply mode is a bottom-in, top-out air supply mode.
[0168] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, since the first outlets 423 of the two fans 42 are in an open state, the airflows in the two fans 42 flow from their respective first outlets 423 into the corresponding first air duct sections 411, that is, the two fans 42 supply air to the corresponding first air duct sections 411; the airflow then flows out from the first ports of the two first air duct sections 411.
[0169] Optionally, the first ends of the two first air duct sections 411 are upper ends, and the second ends of the two first air duct sections 411 are lower ends, so that all airflow is delivered from the top, that is, the first air supply mode is an all-upper air supply mode.
[0170] Optionally, the first ports of the two first air duct sections 411 are both arranged upward, and the first air outlets are arranged upward.
[0171] Specifically, if Figure 3 As shown, when the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, and when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in the closed state, the air flow enters from the second air inlet 12, and flows into the main cavity section 101 of the air inlet cavity 10 through the third cavity section 103, and is divided into three parts. The fourth part of the air flow directly passes through the heat exchanger 50, passes through the avoidance cavity part, and enters the second fan 4202 from the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202; the second part of the air flow passes through the heat exchanger 50, the interface between the air inlet cavity 10 and the first cavity 20, the give way cavity part 21 of the first cavity 20, the interface between the first cavity 20 and the second cavity 30, and the second cavity 30 in sequence, and then enters the two fans 42 from the second side air inlets 422 of the two fans 42 respectively; the third part of the air flow continues to move upward through the heat exchanger 50, and enters the first fan 4201 from the first side air inlet 421 of the first fan 4201. The airflow enters the second fan 4202 and is pressurized before being sent out through the first air duct section 411 of the second air duct assembly 402 . The airflow enters the first fan 4201 and is pressurized before being sent out through the first air duct section 411 of the first air duct assembly 401 .
[0172] like Figure 4As shown, when the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, and when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in the open state, the air flow enters from the second air inlet 12 and is divided into two parts, namely the fifth part of the air flow and the sixth part of the air flow; since the pressure of the air inlet cavity 10 is greater than the pressure of the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401, the fifth part of the air flow passes through the third cavity section 103 and the fourth opening 4012 and enters the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401, and then enters the second cavity 30 from the fifth opening 4013, and then enters the two fans 42 from the second side air inlets 422 of the two fans 42 respectively; the sixth part of the air flow passes through the third cavity section 103 and flows into the inlet The air flows into the main cavity section 101 of the air cavity 10 and is divided into three parts. The fourth part of the air flow directly passes through the heat exchanger 50, passes through the avoidance cavity part, and enters the second fan 4202 from the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202; the second part of the air flow passes through the heat exchanger 50, the interface between the air inlet cavity 10 and the first cavity 20, the avoidance cavity part 21 of the first cavity 20, the interface between the first cavity 20 and the second cavity 30, and the second cavity 30 in sequence, and then enters the two fans 42 from the second side air inlets 422 of the two fans 42 respectively; the third part of the air flow continues to move upward and passes through the heat exchanger 50, and enters the first fan 4201 from the first side air inlet 421 of the first fan 4201. The airflow enters the second fan 4202 and is pressurized before being sent out through the first air duct section 411 of the second air duct assembly 402 . The airflow enters the first fan 4201 and is pressurized before being sent out through the first air duct section 411 of the first air duct assembly 401 .
[0173] When the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, and when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in a closed state, all airflow entering from the second air inlet 12 needs to pass through the heat exchanger 50 for heat exchange (cooling or heating) processing, and then be sent into the room by the fan. This may cause an increase in airflow resistance in some cases, thereby affecting the overall air volume and energy efficiency ratio; and when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in an open state, part of the airflow can bypass the heat exchanger 50 (that is, without passing through the heat exchanger 50) and directly enter the fan 42, thereby reducing the flow resistance to increase the air volume.
[0174] When the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, and when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in the open state, due to the strong stirring of the fan blades 42, the airflow that has not passed through the heat exchanger 50 can be fully mixed with the airflow that has passed through the heat exchanger 50 inside the fan 42, and then sent out from the air-conditioning outlet through the first air duct section 411; at this time, the airflow is a cold airflow, which can meet the indoor cooling needs. At the same time, due to the increase in air volume, the temperature difference between the airflow at the air-conditioning outlet and the indoor temperature is reduced, and the uniformity of the indoor temperature is further improved, thereby avoiding local overcooling and improving comfort.
[0175] When the indoor temperature is in a stable stage, only a small air volume is needed to maintain the indoor temperature, and the first air supply mode can be executed, and the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both closed.
[0176] When the room is in the initial cooling stage, the first air supply mode can be executed, and the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both opened. The large air volume is conducive to rapid cooling of the room.
[0177] When the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, and when the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in the open state, part of the airflow is allowed to bypass the heat exchanger 50 and directly enter the fan 42, which has the following advantages: 1. Reduced flow resistance and energy saving; since part of the airflow no longer passes through the heat exchanger 50, the total resistance of the airflow is reduced, which not only increases the overall air volume of the system, but also reduces the workload of the fan, thereby saving energy consumption; 2. Increased air volume and rapid cooling; since part of the airflow bypasses the heat exchanger 50 and directly enters the fan, the air volume of the entire system is significantly improved, which is suitable for large spaces or application scenarios that require rapid cooling; 3. Improved indoor temperature uniformity and improved comfort; the airflow that has not passed through the heat exchanger 50 is mixed with the airflow processed by the heat exchanger 50, which helps to improve the uniformity and comfort of the indoor temperature and avoid local overcooling; 4. Extended equipment life; since the burden on the heat exchanger 50 is reduced, its wear can be reduced, thereby extending the service life of the entire air-conditioning system.
[0178] In the present application, when the air supply system executes the second air supply mode, the air supply control method includes: controlling the first air inlet 11 of the air supply system to be in an open state, controlling the second air inlet 12 of the air supply system to be in a closed state, controlling the second outlets 424 of the fans 42 of the two air duct assemblies 40 of the air supply system to be in an open state, controlling the first outlets 423 of the fans 42 of the two air duct assemblies 40 of the air supply system to be in a closed state, and controlling the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 to be in a closed state. The second air supply mode is a top-in, bottom-out air supply mode.
[0179] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, when the air supply system executes the second air supply mode, since the second outlets 424 of the two fans 42 are in an open state, the airflows in the two fans 42 flow from their respective second outlets 424 into the corresponding second air duct sections 412, that is, the two fans 42 supply air to the corresponding second air duct sections 412; the airflow then flows out from the air outlet ends of the two second air duct sections 412.
[0180] Optionally, the first ends of the two second air duct sections 412 are upper ends, and the second ends of the two second air duct sections 412 are lower ends, so that all airflow is delivered from the bottom, that is, the second air supply mode is a full-downward air supply mode.
[0181] Specifically, if Figure 5 As shown, when the air supply system executes the second air supply mode, the air flow enters the air inlet cavity 10 from the first air inlet 11 and is divided into three parts. The third part of the air flow directly passes through the heat exchanger 50 and enters the first fan 4201 from the first side air inlet 421 of the first fan 4201; the second part of the air flow passes through the heat exchanger 50, the interface between the air inlet cavity 10 and the first cavity 20, the yield cavity part 21 of the first cavity 20, the interface between the first cavity 20 and the second cavity 30, and the second cavity 30 in sequence, and then enters the two fans 42 from the second side air inlets 422 of the two fans 42 respectively; the fourth part of the air flow continues to move downward through the heat exchanger 50, and then passes through the yield cavity part and enters the second fan 4202 from the first side air inlet 421 of the second fan 4202. The airflow enters the second fan 4202 and is pressurized before being sent out through the second air duct section 412 of the second air duct assembly 402 . The airflow enters the first fan 4201 and is pressurized before being sent out through the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401 .
[0182] Specifically, when the air conditioner is in cooling mode, the air supply system is in the first air supply mode, and when the air conditioner is in heating mode, the air supply system is in the second air supply mode.
[0183] like Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, when the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, the shielding member 425 of the first fan 4201 moves to the lower left side, and the shielding member 425 of the second fan 4202 moves to the lower right side.
[0184] like Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, when the air supply system executes the second air supply mode, the shielding member 425 of the first fan 4201 moves to the upper right side, and the shielding member 425 of the second fan 4202 moves to the upper left side.
[0185] The above two air supply modes were simulated and the simulation results are shown in Table 1. In Table 1, the speed refers to the speed of the two fans 42, and the unit is RPM; the upper air volume of the large air volume scheme refers to the upper air volume when the first air supply mode is executed and the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both open; the upper air volume of the conventional scheme refers to the upper air volume when the first air supply mode is executed and the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both closed; the lower air volume refers to the lower air volume when the second air supply mode is executed; the unit of air volume is m 3 / h.
[0186] Table 1 Simulation comparison of air output of different schemes
[0187]
[0188] Due to the deflection of the airflow and the greater resistance along the way, the air volume of the down-flow solution is smaller than that of the conventional up-flow solution. Comparing the two up-flow solutions, at the same speed, the air volume of the high-volume solution is 180m higher than that of the conventional solution. 3 / h to 240m 3 / h; From the simulation results, it can be seen that the large air volume solution can effectively reduce the reversible air conditioning pipe resistance and achieve a significant increase in air volume.
[0189] like Figure 21 As shown, when the first air supply mode is in operation and both the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are closed, the overall pipe resistance is relatively high. When the first air supply mode is in operation and both the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are open, the overall flow resistance is reduced. In other words, after adopting the airflow bypass, the pipe resistance is significantly reduced.
[0190] When performing simulation calculations, the cavity in the air inlet cavity 10 is the air inlet cavity; the cavity in the first cavity 20 is the first cavity. Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the first cavity includes a first cavity portion 201 and a second cavity portion 202. The first cavity portion 201 is located between the two air duct components 40. The cavity in the second cavity 30 is the second cavity. Figure 18 and Figure 19 As shown, the second cavity includes a third cavity portion 301 .
[0191] Optionally, when the first opening and closing component 71 is the first opening and closing mechanism 81, and when the preset direction of the fourth opening 4012 is parallel to the length direction of the air conditioner, and when the air supply system performs the second air supply mode, the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in a closed state, and the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is set at an acute angle to the length direction of the air conditioner, and the acute angle is a small angle, so that the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is inclined relative to the length direction of the air conditioner, so as to ensure the shielding effect of the multiple opening and closing portions 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 on the fourth opening 4012, thereby ensuring that the airflow in the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401 will not enter the air inlet chamber 10.
[0192] Optionally, when the first opening and closing component 71 is the first opening and closing mechanism 81, and when the preset direction of the fourth opening 4012 is parallel to the length direction of the air conditioner, and when the air supply system performs the second air supply mode, the right end of the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is tilted downward to put the first opening and closing mechanism 81 in a closed state; wherein the left and right directions here are Figure 5 Horizontal in.
[0193] Optionally, when the first opening and closing component 71 is the first opening and closing mechanism 81, and when the preset direction of the fourth opening 4012 is parallel to the length direction of the air conditioner, and when the air supply system executes the first air supply mode, and when the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is in a closed state, the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is set at an acute angle to the length direction of the air conditioner, and the acute angle is a small angle, so that the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is inclined relative to the length direction of the air conditioner, that is, the airflow direction in the air inlet cavity 10 is set at an acute angle to the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81, so as to ensure the shielding effect of the multiple opening and closing portions 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 on the fourth opening 4012, thereby ensuring that the airflow in the air inlet cavity 10 will not enter the second air duct section 412 of the first air duct assembly 401; even if there is leakage, the leakage air volume through the opening and closing portion 811 of the first opening and closing mechanism 81 is extremely small.
[0194] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:
[0195] In the air supply system used in the air conditioner provided by the present invention, the air supply system includes an air inlet cavity 10, a first cavity 20, and a second cavity 30, which are sequentially arranged and connected along the thickness direction of the air conditioner. The air supply system also includes an air inlet, which is connected to the air inlet cavity 10 so that external airflow enters the air inlet cavity 10 through the air inlet. The air supply system also includes an air duct assembly 40, which is arranged in the first cavity 20; the air duct assembly 40 includes an air duct portion 41 and a fan 42, and the fan 42 has a first side air inlet 421 and a second side air inlet 422 arranged along its axial direction, and the axial direction of the fan 42 is parallel to or the same as the thickness direction of the air conditioner. The outlet of the fan 42 is connected to the air duct portion 41, that is, the airflow entering the fan 42 flows out from the outlet of the fan 42, enters the air duct portion 41, and then flows out from the air outlet of the air duct portion 41. The first side air inlet 421 faces the air inlet cavity 10 to communicate with the air inlet cavity 10 ; the second side air inlet 422 faces the second cavity 30 to communicate with the second cavity 30 .
[0196] There are one or more air duct assemblies 40, that is, there is at least one air duct assembly 40. The one or more air duct assemblies 40 include a first air duct assembly 401. A fourth opening 4012 is provided on the side wall of the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 facing the air inlet cavity 10, and the fourth opening 4012 can be opened and closed; a fifth opening 4013 is provided on the side wall of the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 facing the second cavity 30, and the fifth opening 4013 can be opened and closed. When the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are both in an open state, the fourth opening 4012 is connected to the air inlet, so that part of the airflow entering from the air inlet enters the air duct portion 41 of the first air duct assembly 401 through the fourth opening 4012 and enters the second cavity 30 through the fifth opening 4013; this part of the airflow entering the second cavity 30 enters the fan 42 through the second side air inlet 422.
[0197] The two air duct assemblies 40 of the present application form a parallel air supply system.
[0198] The present application forms a bypass by setting the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013, which is an airflow bypass technology. In addition, the opening and closing of the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 are controlled by the first opening and closing component 71 and the second opening and closing component 72 respectively to control the on and off of the bypass, thereby controlling whether the airflow is bypassed. That is, by controlling the opening and closing of the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013, the switching of different air volume modes is achieved. The airflow bypass design principle of the present application is as follows: Figure 20 shown.
[0199] To achieve switching of the fan's airflow path, this application uses a shielding member 425 to control the fan's airflow direction. By changing the fan's airflow direction through the shielding member 425, reversible upward and downward airflow is achieved. By controlling the opening and closing of the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013, the bypass branch is opened.
[0200] The air supply system of the present application: 1. It provides a carrier for reversible air supply technology, which can realize large circulation of indoor air flow and better comfort; 2. It adopts a special bypass design, which can greatly increase the air volume when necessary, and solves the problems of large air inlet resistance and along-the-path resistance of existing reversible air supply air conditioners; 3. It controls the opening and closing of the shielding member 425, the fourth opening 4012 and the fifth opening 4013 according to actual needs, and realizes the switching of air supply mode and air volume mode to realize multiple air supply modes, thereby meeting the needs of different scenarios.
[0201] The air supply system of the present application guides the incoming air from the heat exchanger 50 side to the front side of the fan 42 by giving way to the cavity portion 21, thereby forming a double-suction centrifugal fan, thereby increasing the air volume; wherein, the front side of the fan 42 is the second side of the fan 42.
[0202] The air supply system of the present application can improve the air volume level in each air supply mode.
[0203] The two air duct assemblies 40 in the present application are stacked along the thickness direction of the air conditioner. Compared with the two air duct assemblies placed side by side along the width direction of the air conditioner, the arrangement of the present application saves more horizontal space (i.e., the width direction of the air conditioner) and can place a larger size (large blade diameter) centrifugal fan, which has a significant effect on increasing the air volume.
