Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of decorative ceiling air conditioning vent louvers, specifically a louver for collecting and recycling condensate water and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In building construction, especially in public buildings, refrigeration systems typically use centralized air conditioning units, which deliver air to each room on each floor via ductwork. The ends of these ducts are usually fitted with louvers in the form of decorative ceiling grilles as air outlets. However, because the cold air delivered by the ductwork lowers the temperature of the louver blades, and when indoor humidity is high, warm indoor air encounters the louvers and condensation forms. If the condensation accumulates too heavily on the blades, it will drip, causing discomfort to those living or working in the room. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a louver for collecting and recycling condensate and its preparation method, in order to solve the technical problem that traditional air conditioner louvers are prone to condensation during the air conditioning cooling process and that the condensate cannot be collected and utilized.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0005] A louver for collecting and recycling condensate includes an outer frame, air guide vanes, a water delivery pipeline system, a miniature negative pressure self-priming pump, and a miniature atomizer. The outer frame is rectangular and is fixed to a ceiling frame. Frame grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the outer frame. A set of air guide vanes is arranged parallel and spaced within the outer frame, with vane grooves on both sides of the bottom of each vane. The vane grooves communicate with the frame grooves. The water delivery pipeline system includes vane pipes and frame pipes. The vane pipes are fixed within the vane grooves, and multiple water-permeable holes are spaced along their length on the sidewalls of the vane pipes. A water-absorbing layer is wrapped around the outside of the vane pipes. Two frame pipes are fixed within the frame grooves. The vane pipes and frame pipes are interconnected. The miniature negative pressure self-priming pump and the miniature atomizer are both fixed to the outer frame. The miniature negative pressure self-priming pump connects the water delivery pipeline system and the miniature atomizer to input condensate into the liquid storage chamber of the miniature atomizer.

[0006] Preferably, the absorbent layer is a hydrophilic polymer fiber woven sleeve, non-woven fabric, or ceramic fiber cotton; the absorbent layer is tightly attached to the outside of the blade channel by binding, gluing, or hot-melting, and the absorbent layer maintains close contact with the blade channel wall.

[0007] Preferably, the frame pipe is fixed to the frame groove by adhesive bonding or mechanical fasteners; the blade pipe with an absorbent layer wrapped around its outer side is fixed to the blade groove by adhesive bonding or mechanical fasteners.

[0008] Preferably, there are two miniature negative pressure self-priming pumps, which are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the outer frame; one end of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump is connected to the frame pipe, and the other end of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump is connected to the miniature atomizer.

[0009] Preferably, the inlet end of the frame pipe is connected to the corresponding side blade pipe, and the outlet end of the frame pipe is connected to the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump.

[0010] Preferably, the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump is fixed to the outer frame by bolts.

[0011] Preferably, the micro atomizer is fixed to the corner of the outer frame by bolts.

[0012] Preferably, the water-permeable hole is an enlarged circular hole with a large inlet diameter and a small outlet inner diameter.

[0013] Preferably, a miniature ultraviolet sterilization module or filter is installed at the outlet of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump.

[0014] The preparation method of this louver for collecting and recycling condensate includes the following steps.

[0015] Step 1: Component preparation and assembly.

[0016] Step 2: Install the pre-treated multiple air guide blades in parallel and spaced order inside the outer frame.

[0017] Step 3: Take the blade pipe and machine multiple water-permeable holes on the side wall at the designed spacing.

[0018] Step four: Tightly wrap the strip-shaped absorbent layer around the outer periphery of the blade tube.

[0019] Step 5: Connect the blade pipe with the water-absorbing layer wrapped around it to the frame pipe to form a complete water delivery pipeline system.

[0020] Step 6: Install the water delivery piping system into the frame groove and blade groove.

[0021] Step 7: Install the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump symmetrically on both sides of the outer frame, and connect its inlet to the corresponding frame pipe through a pipeline.

[0022] Step 8: Install the micro atomizer at the corner of the outer frame, and connect its inlet to the outlet of the micro negative pressure self-priming pump.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following features and beneficial effects.

[0024] 1. This invention creatively transforms the waste condensate from air conditioners into a humidification water source, achieving closed-loop utilization of water resources. This not only significantly reduces the freshwater consumption of buildings but also directly eliminates the maintenance costs of frequent manual water refills required by traditional humidifiers, aligning with the concepts of green building and sustainable development.

[0025] 2. In this invention, a blade channel is fixed within the blade groove at the bottom of each guide vane, and a water-absorbing layer is tightly wrapped around the outside of the channel. This water-absorbing layer actively and rapidly adsorbs condensate distributed on the blade surface through capillary action. Simultaneously, multiple permeable holes are spaced along the length of the sidewall of the blade channel. The adsorbed water enters the cavity of the blade channel through these permeable holes, completing the first collection of condensate from the large-area blade surface to the linear channel. After the negative pressure pump starts, a stable negative pressure is formed inside the frame pipe and blade channel connected to it, drawing and collecting the water column dispersed in each blade channel towards the pump inlet, ensuring a stable and reliable water supply to the atomizer even when the collected water volume is small and the pipes are horizontally arranged.

[0026] 3. This invention efficiently recovers air conditioning condensate through a synergistic collection and transport mechanism of "capillary adsorption + negative pressure suction"; its integrated and modular design allows for functional additions within standard louvers; and post-treatment processes such as ultraviolet sterilization ensure the hygiene and safety of the circulating water. The entire system achieves on-site collection, purification, and utilization of condensate, turning waste into treasure and achieving significant water-saving, energy-saving, and healthy humidification goals, resulting in good economic and environmental benefits. Furthermore, the air guide vanes, pipes, pump, and atomizer of this invention are all integrated within the outer frame of a standard louver size, allowing for direct replacement or integration into existing ceiling vents without occupying additional indoor space, resulting in low modification and installation costs.

[0036] In this embodiment, there are two miniature negative pressure self-priming pumps 3, which are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the outer frame 1 respectively; one end of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 is connected to the frame pipe 8, and the other end of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 is connected to the miniature atomizer 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, the water inlet end of the frame pipe 8 is connected to the corresponding side blade pipe 7, and the water outlet end of the frame pipe 8 is connected to the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3.

[0038] In this embodiment, the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 is fixed to the outer frame 1 by bolts, and the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 can be controlled by remote control.

[0039] In this embodiment, the micro atomizer 4 is fixed to the corner of the outer frame 1 by bolts, and the micro atomizer 4 can be controlled by remote control.

[0040] In this embodiment, the water-permeable hole 9 is an enlarged circular hole with a large inlet diameter and a small outlet inner diameter.

[0041] In this embodiment, a miniature ultraviolet sterilization module or filter is provided at the outlet of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 to perform simple purification of the collected condensate.

[0042] The preparation method of this louver for collecting and recycling condensate includes the following steps.

[0043] Step 1, Component preparation and assembly: Provide an outer frame 1, a set of air guide vanes 2, prefabricated blade ducts 7 and frame ducts 8, a miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3, a miniature atomizer 4, and a hydrophilic water-absorbing layer material.

[0044] Step 2: Install the pre-treated multiple air guide blades 2 in parallel at intervals inside the outer frame 1.

[0045] Step 3: Take the blade pipe 7 and process multiple water-permeable holes 9 on the side wall according to the design spacing.

[0046] Step four: Tightly wrap the strip-shaped absorbent layer 10 around the outer periphery of the blade pipe 7.

[0047] Step 5: Connect the blade pipe 7 with the water-absorbing layer 10 wrapped around it to the frame pipe 8 to form a complete water delivery pipeline system.

[0048] Step 6: Install the water delivery pipeline system into the frame groove 5 and the blade groove 6.

[0050] Step 8: Install the micro atomizer 4 at the corner of the outer frame 1, and connect its inlet to the outlet of the micro negative pressure self-priming pump 3.

[0051] Step nine: Connect the power supply and control circuits to the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 and the miniature atomizer 4.

[0052] The workflow of this invention is as follows.

[0053] Stage 1: Formation and primary collection of condensate – capillary adsorption.

[0054] Water vapor in the indoor air condenses into water droplets on the cold surface of the blades.

[0055] Due to gravity and surface tension, water droplets flow downwards or converge along the surface of the blade.

[0056] When water droplets come into contact with or approach the water-absorbing layer 10 at the bottom of the blade, they are immediately adsorbed by the hydrophilic material through capillary action and quickly diffused throughout the entire water-absorbing layer 10 material.

[0057] Phase Two: Water Collection and Negative Pressure Extraction – Pipeline Transportation.

[0058] The water absorbed uniformly by the absorbent layer 10 diffuses within it to the area that contacts the enlarged circular hole on the blade channel 7.

[0059] After the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 is started, a stable negative pressure is generated throughout the entire pipeline network.

[0060] Under negative pressure, the water accumulated in the enlarged orifice is quickly "drawn" into the blade pipe 7. The structure of the enlarged orifice is conducive to the formation of a water seal, which improves the suction efficiency and prevents a large amount of air from being drawn in.

[0061] Under negative pressure, the water in the inhalation tube is collected through the frame tube and finally flows into the water collection chamber of the micro atomizer 4.

[0062] Phase 3: Water Treatment and Atomized Humidification In this embodiment, a miniature ultraviolet sterilization module or filter is installed at the outlet of the miniature negative pressure self-priming pump 3 to perform simple purification of the collected condensate. The purified water is pumped to the miniature atomizer 4, and the clean cold mist is sprayed out from the corner of the louver and quickly evaporates into the indoor air, effectively and evenly increasing the ambient humidity and realizing the recycling of condensate resources.

[0063] The above embodiments are not exhaustive examples of specific implementation methods, and other embodiments are also possible. The purpose of the above embodiments is to illustrate the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. All applications derived from simple variations of the present invention fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
