Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of air conditioning, specifically to an air conditioner with positive and negative ion output that simulates natural wind. Background Technology

[0002] Window air conditioners have gained a certain market share due to their advantages. They are integrated in structure, affordable in price, easy to install without the need for copper pipes and outdoor units, easy to disassemble and take with you when moving, occupy little indoor space, have short pipes, are not prone to refrigerant leaks, have a low failure rate, and at the same time have practical functions such as cooling, dehumidification, and air supply.

[0003] When in use, it can be installed in a window or wall opening, keeping the outdoor side slightly lower to facilitate drainage and sealing the surrounding area. Select the cooling, dehumidifying, or air supply mode according to your needs. Traditional air conditioners, due to their integrated structure, do not have complex air ducts and air guiding structures. They mostly adopt a design of "single manual adjustment + internal horizontal air guide column", which can only achieve single-dimensional air direction adjustment on the left and right. Up and down adjustment requires manual conditions and is still limited to air direction switching in a two-dimensional plane. It cannot achieve three-dimensional air supply. The air outlet direction is fixed or changes periodically and linearly. The airflow pattern is rigid and easily produces a "mechanical wind" feeling. When blowing directly on the human body, it can easily cause discomfort.

[0004] Furthermore, existing air guiding mechanisms do not optimize airflow speed and trajectory for different operating conditions, such as cooling and heating. Cold air tends to blow directly onto people, while warm air struggles to reach the lower parts of the room, resulting in uneven room temperature distribution and further reducing user comfort. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an air conditioner that simulates natural wind to improve airflow regularity and comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an air conditioner with positive and negative ion output to simulate natural wind, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an air conditioner with positive and negative ion simulated natural wind output, comprising an air conditioner housing, a positive and negative ion generating component, an evaporator component, and an air guide drive mechanism. The air conditioner housing is provided with a volute, and a fan wheel is installed in the volute. The release end of the positive and negative ion generating component is located in the volute. The front side of the air conditioner housing is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet is provided with a longitudinal air guide vane group and a transverse air guide vane group. The air guide drive mechanism is located inside the air conditioner housing and is connected to the longitudinal air guide vane group and the transverse air guide vane group respectively. The evaporator assembly is installed between the volute inlet and the air inlet of the volute. A control mechanism is installed on the outside of the air conditioner housing. The control mechanism is electrically connected to the impeller, the air guide drive mechanism, and the positive and negative ion generating components, respectively. The control mechanism is configured to control the air guide drive mechanism to drive the longitudinal air guide vane group and the transverse air guide vane group respectively according to the natural wind simulation trajectory, so as to form a natural wind flow field output outward through the exhaust port.

[0007] Furthermore, the natural wind simulation trajectory includes a longitudinal simulation trajectory and a transverse simulation trajectory, and the longitudinal wind guide vane group includes several parallel longitudinal wind vanes, which oscillate around the longitudinal axis according to the longitudinal simulation trajectory. The horizontal simulation trajectory includes a horizontal heating mode trajectory and a horizontal cooling mode trajectory. The horizontal air guide vane group includes several groups of horizontally arranged vanes. In heating mode, the horizontal vanes swing around the horizontal axis according to the horizontal heating mode trajectory. In cooling mode, the horizontal fan blades oscillate around the horizontal axis according to the horizontal cooling mode trajectory.

[0008] Furthermore, the transverse fan blades are positioned with angle position point R as the closed position point, and angle position points d, e, f, g, and o are respectively set in the counterclockwise direction from angle position point R2. The angle position point o is the reset position point of the transverse fan blades. Under the transverse heating mode trajectory, the transverse fan blades swing sequentially according to the order of angle position points e, d, e, f, e. The swing speed between angle position points e and d under the transverse heating mode trajectory is slow, and the swing speed between angle position points e and f under the transverse heating mode trajectory is fast. Under the lateral cooling mode trajectory, the lateral fan blades oscillate sequentially according to the angle position points g, f, e, d, e, f, g. The oscillation speed between the angle position points e and d under the lateral cooling mode trajectory is slow, while the oscillation speed of the other trajectory segments is fast.

[0009] Furthermore, the longitudinal fan blades are closed at angle position point R1. The various swing points of the longitudinal simulated trajectory are angle position points h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, and q, respectively, in a counterclockwise direction from the angle position point R. The longitudinal simulated trajectory swings sequentially according to the angle position points l, j, m, i, m, j, n, k, p, q, p, k, n, l. The swing speed between angle position points h and i, and between angle position points p and q is fast, while the swing speed between the other position points is slow.

[0010] Furthermore, the air conditioner housing includes a volute assembly, a back side partition, and a front side cover. The front side cover is fixedly installed on the front side of the volute assembly, the back side partition is fixedly installed on the back side of the volute assembly, and the volute channel is located inside the volute assembly.

[0011] Furthermore, the positive and negative ion generating components are fixedly installed in the mounting holes on the top of the volute assembly, and the exhaust port is located on the front side cover and faces the volute outlet of the volute.

[0012] Furthermore, the air inlet is located on the front side cover, an air inlet grille is snapped into the air inlet, and an air guide ring is installed inside the volute inlet.

[0013] Furthermore, the control mechanism is wirelessly connected to a remote controller, which has several control command buttons.

[0014] Furthermore, a wind turbine drive motor assembly is fixedly installed on the back side partition, and the drive shaft of the wind turbine drive motor assembly is connected to the wind turbine.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an air conditioner with positive and negative ion simulated natural wind output, which has the following beneficial effects: Under the control of the control mechanism, the longitudinal and transverse wind guide blade groups operate according to the natural wind simulation trajectory, simulating the blown wind as natural wind. The blade swing trajectory is distinguished by slow swing segment and fast swing segment and combined with each swing stop point to simulate the turbulence characteristics of natural wind, completely solving the "mechanical wind" problem and reducing the discomfort of direct blowing. In both cooling and heating modes, the horizontal air guide vanes adopt a differentiated trajectory, with the upper side swinging slowly during cooling and the lower side swinging slowly during heating. This adapts to the natural flow characteristics of hot and cold air, improves the uniformity of room temperature distribution, and enhances the cooling and heating effects. The horizontal and vertical blades oscillate in tandem, achieving a dual non-uniform airflow output in both vertical and horizontal directions, resulting in a more realistic simulation of natural wind and further enhancing user comfort.

[0018] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Combination Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides an air conditioner with positive and negative ion simulated natural wind output, including an air conditioner housing 1, a positive and negative ion generating component 7, an evaporator component 8 and an air guide drive mechanism 10. The air conditioner housing 1 is provided with a volute 6, and a fan wheel 5 is installed in the volute 6. The release end of the positive and negative ion generating component 7 is located in the volute 6. The front side of the air conditioner housing 1 is provided with an air inlet and an air outlet. The air outlet is provided with a longitudinal air guide vane group 3 and a transverse air guide vane group 4. The air guide drive mechanism 10 is placed inside the air conditioner housing 1. The air guide drive mechanism 10 is connected to the longitudinal air guide vane group 3 and the transverse air guide vane group 4 respectively, and is used to drive the vanes to swing according to a preset trajectory and speed. A control mechanism 2 is installed on the outside of the air conditioner housing 1. The control mechanism 2 is electrically connected to the fan wheel 5, the air guide drive mechanism 10, and the positive and negative ion generating components 7 to achieve overall coordinated control. The evaporator assembly 8 is installed between the volute inlet 61 and the air inlet shown in the volute 6. It is the core component for refrigeration / heating and is used in conjunction with the compressor, condenser and throttling device (capillary tube / electronic expansion valve) and other structures. It is a commonly used compression refrigeration component and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] The control mechanism 2 stores natural wind simulation trajectory parameters and is configured to control the wind guide drive mechanism to drive the longitudinal wind guide blade group 3 and the transverse wind guide blade group 4 according to the natural wind simulation trajectory, forming a natural wind flow field output outward through the exhaust port. The longitudinal wind guide blade group 3 swings left and right, and the transverse wind guide blade group 4 swings up and down.

[0021] Specific reference Figure 4-5 The natural wind simulation trajectory includes a longitudinal simulation trajectory and a transverse simulation trajectory. The longitudinal wind guide vane group 3 includes several parallel longitudinal wind vanes. The longitudinal wind guide vane group 3 swings around the longitudinal axis and oscillates between multiple angular position points according to the longitudinal simulation trajectory. The simulated lateral trajectory shown includes a lateral heating mode trajectory and a lateral cooling mode trajectory. The lateral air guide vane group 4 includes several groups of parallel lateral vanes. When the air conditioner with positive and negative ion simulated natural wind output is adjusted to heating mode (refer to...), Figure 4 u), the horizontal fan blades of the horizontal air guide fan assembly 4 oscillate around the horizontal axis according to the horizontal heating mode trajectory between multiple angular positions; when the air conditioner with positive and negative ion simulated natural wind output is adjusted to cooling mode (refer to Figure 4 v), the transverse air guide vane group 4 oscillates around the transverse axis according to the transverse cooling mode trajectory between multiple angular position points. Reference Figure 4 The lateral fan blade has its closed position point R2 as the angular position point. From angular position point R2, the counterclockwise angular position points are d, e, f, g, and o. The angular position point o is the reset position point of the lateral fan blade. Under the lateral heating mode trajectory ( Figure 4 u), the transverse blades swing sequentially in the order of angle position points e, d, e, f, e, in this trajectory, the swing speed between angle position points e and d is slow (dashed line segment of the trajectory in the figure), and the swing speed between angle position points e and f is fast (solid line segment of the trajectory in the figure).

[0022] After the heating mode is turned on, the horizontal air guide vane swings from the reset position at angle position o to angle position e, and then begins to swing according to the horizontal heating mode trajectory. First, it swings slowly to angle position d and then returns to angle position e (slow swinging within this range prolongs the time for pushing the warm air downward, allowing the warm air to fully sink to the lower part of the room, utilizing the rising characteristics of hot air to achieve uniform heating from bottom to top, avoiding hot air blowing directly on the upper body of the human body, and improving the comfort of heating). Then, it swings quickly to angle position f and returns to angle position b, completing one cycle of swinging.

[0023] Under the lateral cooling mode trajectory ( Figure 4 v), the transverse blades swing sequentially according to the angle position points g, f, e, d, e, f, g. In this trajectory, the swing speed between angle position points e and d is slow (dashed line segment of the trajectory in the figure), and the swing speed of the other trajectory segments is fast (solid line segment of the trajectory in the figure).

[0024] After the cooling mode is activated, the horizontal fan blades start from the reset position at angle position o and swing to angle position g. Then, they begin to swing according to the horizontal cooling mode trajectory. First, they slowly swing to angle positions f and e in sequence. Then, they quickly swing to angle position d and return to angle position e. Finally, they slowly swing to angle positions f and g in sequence (slow swinging within this range prolongs the time for the cold air to diffuse upwards, utilizing the natural sinking characteristic of cold air to achieve uniform cooling of the room from top to bottom and avoid cold air blowing directly on the human body), completing one cycle of swinging.

[0025] exist Figure 5 In this system, the longitudinal fan blades are closed at angle position point R1. The swing points of each gear of the longitudinal simulated trajectory are angle position points h, i, j, k, l, m, n, p, and q, respectively, in a counterclockwise direction from angle position point R1. Angle position point l is the initial swing position. In both cooling and heating modes, the longitudinal fan blades swing according to the longitudinal simulated trajectory. The longitudinal fan blades swing sequentially in the order of angle position points l, j, m, i, m, j, n, k, p, q, p, k, n, l. The swing speed between angle position points h and i, and between angle position points p and q is fast, while the swing speed between the other gear positions is slow.

[0026] After the air conditioner is turned on, the longitudinal fan blade first swings to angle position point l, and then swings cyclically according to the longitudinal simulated trajectory. Here, the swing speed is switched alternately at different positions, and the direction of movement is not simply left and right. By adjusting the swing speed and dwell time of the longitudinal fan blade in each segment, the airflow direction and air volume in the horizontal direction are made to change non-uniformly and non-periodically, simulating the turbulent characteristics of natural wind, and further weakening the feeling of "mechanical wind".

[0027] In this embodiment, the air conditioner housing 1 includes a volute assembly 11, a back side partition 12, and a front side cover 13. The front side cover 13 is fixedly installed on the front side of the volute assembly 11, the back side partition 12 is fixedly installed on the back side of the volute assembly 11, and the volute channel 6 is disposed inside the volute assembly 11.

[0028] The positive and negative ion generating component 7 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole at the top of the volute assembly 11 and is sealed. Its release end is located in the volute 6. The exhaust port is located on the front side cover 13 and is directly opposite the volute outlet 62 of the volute 6.

[0029] In this embodiment, the air inlet is located on the front side cover 13, and an air inlet grille 14 is snapped into the air inlet. An air guide ring 9 is installed inside the volute inlet 61.

[0030] In the above structure, after being filtered by the air inlet grille 14, the indoor air is sent into the volute 6 through the impeller 5 and exchanges heat with the evaporator assembly 88 before entering the volute 6. At the same time, the positive and negative ions generated by the positive and negative ion generating assembly 7 flow to the volute outlet 62, and then are blown into the room through the longitudinal guide vane assembly 3 and the transverse guide vane assembly 4.

[0031] The control mechanism 2 is wirelessly connected to a remote control, which has several control command buttons. In this embodiment, the control command buttons include a three-dimensional airflow button, which is used to send commands to output a natural wind flow field with positive and negative ions.

[0032] A wind turbine drive motor assembly 51 is fixedly installed on the back side partition 12, and the drive shaft of the wind turbine drive motor assembly 51 is connected to the wind turbine 5.

[0033] The ratio of the slow to the fast swing speeds mentioned above is usually 1:2 to 1:3.

[0034] Under the control of the control mechanism 2, the longitudinal guide vane group 3 and the transverse guide vane group 4 operate according to the natural wind simulation trajectory, simulating the blown wind as natural wind. The vane swing trajectory is distinguished by the slow swing segment and the fast swing segment and combined with each swing stop point to simulate the turbulence characteristics of natural wind, completely solving the "mechanical wind" problem and reducing the discomfort of direct blowing. Furthermore, the horizontal air guide vanes adopt differentiated trajectories in cooling and heating modes, with the upper side swinging slowly during cooling and the lower side swinging slowly during heating. This adapts to the natural flow characteristics of hot and cold air, improves the uniformity of room temperature distribution, and enhances the cooling and heating effects. The horizontal and vertical fan blades swing in tandem, achieving dual non-uniform airflow output in both vertical and horizontal directions, resulting in a more realistic simulation of natural wind and further improving user comfort.

[0035] Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the present invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed.
