[0002] The cabin of a ship is a closed or semi-closed space, and air circulation relies on forced ventilation. The ship faces three extreme working conditions of vibration, tilting and salt spray during navigation. Ordinary air conditioners will directly fail. Therefore, in order to adapt to ships, ship-specific air conditioners need to be used specifically. Traditional ships widely use constant air volume centralized air conditioners, and the air supply volume is designed according to the maximum heat load. It cannot be dynamically adjusted according to the actual demand of the cabin. For example, the air supply is continuously supplied to the unoccupied cabin, resulting in energy waste. At the same time, the temperature of each cabin cannot be independently adjusted, the comfort of the crew is poor, and the temperature of the cabin is easily affected by the environment and fluctuates, making it difficult to maintain a constant temperature.

[0024] In this embodiment, when in use, the heat exchange assembly 4 can make the return air and fresh air complete heat exchange before mixing in the mixing area, so that the gas outside the ship and the gas in the cabin can be balanced in heat before mixing, when the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is too large, the fresh air and return air after heat exchange, so as to reduce the temperature of the overheated gas, at the same time, the temperature of the overcooled gas is increased, the return air enters the connecting pipeline 404 through the return air inlet 104, then enters the heat exchanger main body 401 from the return air inlet 402, the fresh air enters the fresh air inlet pipeline 408 through the fresh air pipeline 105, then enters the heat exchanger main body 401 from the fresh air inlet 407, the two kinds of gas are discharged from the fresh air outlet 405 and the return air outlet 409 respectively, when discharging, the first filter block 406 and the second filter block 410 can absorb the remaining amount of cleaning citric acid solution, the first filter block 406 and the second filter block 410 adopt activated alumina, which is a porous and high dispersion solid material with large specific surface area and strong adsorption performance, it can not only adsorb citric acid solution, but also has certain adsorption effect on some inorganic impurity ions, when cleaning the pipeline inside the heat exchanger main body 401, citric acid solution is injected into the injection tank 413, citric acid has good chelating ability, can react with calcium, magnesium and other ions in the scale to form a complex that can be dissolved in water, so as to achieve the purpose of removing scale, and because the acidity of citric acid is weak, the corrosion to stainless steel is small, as long as the cleaning time and temperature are controlled, the stainless steel sheet will not be damaged, by starting the multi-stage electric push rod 411, so as to drive the movable push rod 412 to stretch and retract, and then drive the piston plate 415 to slide in the injection tank 413, when the piston plate 415 extrudes the citric acid solution forward, the solution can be extruded into the two delivery pipes 414, under the action of pressure, the solution will pass through the water inlet hole 419 and enter the return air inlet pipeline 403 and the fresh air inlet pipeline 408 respectively, in the process of air inlet, the citric acid solution will enter the heat exchanger main body 401 inside the airflow, and the pipeline inside the heat exchanger main body 401 is descaled, wherein the material of the water blocking pad 418 is corrosion-resistant rubber, which will automatically close the leakage when not under pressure.

[0025] Embodiment two: Figures 1-11As shown, the inside of the air conditioner shell 101 is sequentially provided with the impurity filter 106, the surface cooler 108, the front water baffle 109, the heater 110, the spray humidifier 111, the rear water baffle 112, the fan 113 and the fixed frame 114 from one side to the other side. One side of the fixed frame 114 is fixedly connected with the silencer 115, the silencer 115 comprises a silencer shell 1151, the inside of the silencer shell 1151 is provided with a silencer groove 1152, the inner wall of the silencer groove 1152 is fixedly connected with a plurality of sound-absorbing plates 1153, the outer surface of the heater 110 is clampingly connected with a plurality of mounting buckles 107, the plurality of mounting buckles 107 are all fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air conditioner shell 101, the bottom of the air conditioner shell 101 is fixedly connected with two mounting racks 102, the top of the air conditioner shell 101 is provided with a control panel 116, the top of the air conditioner shell 101 is provided with an air outlet 117 close to the other side, the front surface of the air conditioner shell 101 is provided with a protective plate 103 through bolts, the inside of the air outlet 117 is provided with the variable air volume assembly 3, one end of the return air inlet pipeline 403 is fixedly communicated with the connecting pipeline 404, the connecting pipeline 404 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the return air inlet 104, one end of the fresh air inlet pipeline 408 is fixedly communicated with one end of the fresh air pipeline 105.

[0026] In use, in the embodiment, fresh air outside the ship enters from the fresh air pipeline 105, return air in the cabin enters the air conditioner from the return air inlet 104, and the gases at the two places are mixed in the mixing area. The mixed air is heated by the heat exchanger main body 401 to ensure uniform temperature and avoid overcooling of the fresh air outside the ship. When the carbon dioxide concentration in the cabin is too high, the proportion of fresh air is appropriately increased. The mixed air enters the impurity filter 106, which filters out dust and impurities in the air to purify the air. In the case of cooling in summer, the filtered air enters the surface cooler 108. The low-temperature refrigerant in the surface cooler 108 absorbs the heat in the air, so that the temperature of the air is reduced. At the same time, due to the decrease in temperature, the water vapor in the air condenses into water droplets, realizing the dehumidification function. At this time, the condensed water droplets are blocked by the front water baffle 109 to prevent them from entering the subsequent components. The air treated by the surface cooler 108 is heated and warmed by the heater 110 if the temperature does not reach the set requirement. If the humidity in the cabin is low, the air passes through the spray humidifier 111 to increase the humidity. The rear water baffle 112 blocks the water droplets again to ensure the dryness of the air. The adjusted gas is pressurized by the fan 113 and then sent into the cabin of the ship. The fan 113 produces noise when it operates. The silencer 115 can reduce the noise generated by the operation of the fan 113 and the flow of gas to reduce the impact on the cabin staff. The sound-absorbing plates 1153 installed on the inner wall of the silencer groove 1152 are wave-shaped foam plates, which can weaken and absorb part of the sound, thereby having a good sound-absorbing effect.

[0027] Embodiment three: Figures 1-11 As shown, the top of the air conditioner shell 101 is provided with a control panel 116, the variable air volume assembly 3 includes a damper 312, the bottom of the damper 312 is provided with a mounting groove 314, the inner wall of the mounting groove 314 is movably clamped with a filter screen 313, the variable air volume assembly 3 further includes a mounting block 308, the outer surface of the mounting block 308 is provided with an electric push rod 302, one end of the electric push rod 302 is fixedly connected with a push block 301, the bottom of the push block 301 is fixedly connected with a driving long plate 303, the top of the driving long plate 303 is provided with a limiting sliding groove 305 near both ends, the inner wall of the two limiting sliding grooves 305 is movably connected with a limiting block 304, the two limiting blocks 304 are both fixedly installed on the top of the air conditioner shell 101, the top of the driving long plate 303 is fixedly connected with a row of teeth 309, the two sides of the air outlet 117 are both provided with a plurality of rotating holes 311, the inner wall between every two rotating holes 311 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 307, the outer surface of each rotating rod 307 is fixedly connected with an air volume adjusting plate 306, one end of each rotating rod 307 is fixedly connected with an adjusting gear 310, the outer surface of the plurality of adjusting gears 310 is meshingly connected with the top of the row of teeth 309, the top of the air conditioner shell 101 is provided with a monitoring assembly 2, the monitoring assembly 2 includes a mounting base 201, the inside of the mounting base 201 is provided with a forward-reverse motor 202, the output shaft of the forward-reverse motor 202 is fixedly connected with a rotating plate 203, the top of the rotating plate 203 is provided with an infrared sensor 204 and a camera 205, and the infrared sensor 204 and the camera 205 are used to monitor the personnel flow in the cabin interior space.

[0028] In this embodiment, in use, the air volume of the air conditioner to the cabin is automatically adjusted by the variable air volume assembly 3, thereby realizing on-demand air supply. By starting the forward and reverse motor 202, the output shaft rotates, thereby driving the rotating plate 203 to rotate. The rotating plate 203 is constantly forward and reverse, and can constantly monitor the cabin. When a staff enters the cabin, the air volume can be increased. When there is no one inside the cabin, the air volume is correspondingly reduced, thereby saving energy. The infrared sensor 204 can detect the infrared radiation emitted by the human body. When a person enters the sensing range of the infrared sensor 204, the infrared radiation emitted by the human body will be detected by the infrared sensor 204. The infrared sensor 204 transmits the signal to the air conditioner control system, and judges that there is a person. The air supply amount is increased. When the staff leaves the sensing range for a period of time, the infrared sensor 204 cannot detect the human body infrared, and the control system reduces the air supply amount. At the same time, combined with the camera 205, whether there is a person in the cabin and the number and activity state of the person can be accurately identified. When a person is detected, the air supply amount is increased. In addition, according to the number of personnel, the air supply amount can be more finely adjusted. When adjusting the air volume, the control system starts the electric push rod 302 to extend and retract, thereby driving the driving long plate 303 to reciprocate. At this time, the limiting sliding groove 305 is sleeved outside the limiting block 304, which can limit the driving long plate 303. When the driving long plate 303 moves left and right with the row of teeth 309, the row of teeth 309 is engaged with the adjusting gear 310, thereby driving the adjusting gear 310 to rotate forward and reverse. When all the air volume adjusting plates 306 are turned to horizontal, the air volume will be reduced. When the blades of all the air volume adjusting plates 306 are parallel, the air outlet 117 is completely opened, and the air volume is the largest. By clamping the filter screen 313 into the installation slot 314, the impurities in the air conditioner are filtered out before being delivered to the cabin.
