Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a water-leakage-proof wine cellar air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, wine cellar air conditioners are used to control the temperature and humidity of the wine cellar and provide a suitable environment for wine storage. Maintaining the appropriate humidity in the wine cellar is very important. Too high or too low humidity will have an adverse effect on the quality of the wine. Therefore, wine cellar air conditioners are usually equipped with humidification components to adjust the humidity in the wine cellar.

[0003] Traditional wine cellar air conditioning humidification components usually use hoses to connect to external water sources and use ordinary joints for connection. This connection method has some defects: first, the hose is easy to deform under frequent bending and pressure. After multiple plugging and unplugging, the sealing will decrease and it is easy to leak. Especially in a humid environment like a wine cellar, water leakage will have an adverse effect on the wine cellar environment and even damage the items in the wine cellar; secondly, due to the flexibility of the hose and the structural characteristics of ordinary joints, it is difficult for different operators to ensure that the same sealing effect can be achieved every time when connecting the hose and the joint. Even experienced maintenance personnel find it difficult to completely avoid this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a water-leakage-proof wine cellar air conditioner which is simple and quick to operate, has a highly consistent sealing effect for each connection, and eliminates the uncertainty caused by differences in human operation.

[0006] In order to further improve the convenience of maintenance, a solenoid valve for controlling the water inlet of the humidification component is provided on the maintenance panel, and the water inlet pipe includes a first pipe and a second pipe; the water inlet end of the solenoid valve is detachably connected to the second quick-release joint through the first pipe, and the water outlet end of the solenoid valve is detachably connected to the first quick-release joint through the second pipe.

[0007] A further solution is that a third quick-release joint is provided at the water inlet end of the solenoid valve, and the second quick-release joint is detachably connected to the third quick-release joint through a first pipe; a fourth quick-release joint is provided at the water outlet end of the solenoid valve, and the fourth quick-release joint is detachably connected to the first quick-release joint through a second pipe.

[0008] In order to adapt to different installation environments and pipeline layout requirements, the first pipeline and the second pipeline are each independently a whole continuous pipeline, or are formed by connecting at least two pipelines and at least one fifth quick-release joint.

[0009] In order to further improve the convenience of maintenance of the humidification component, the humidification component includes a shell, a wet membrane located in the shell and a water distribution pipe connected to the first quick-release joint, the water distribution pipe is located above the wet membrane, and the water distribution pipe can be pulled out and installed on the shell along the water inlet direction of the first quick-release joint.

[0010] A further solution is that the first quick-release connector is a bidirectional quick-insert connector, and the water distribution pipe is coaxially arranged with the first quick-release connector.

That is, the standardized quick-release joint connection method is easy and quick to operate, and the sealing effect of each connection is highly consistent, eliminating the uncertainty caused by differences in human operation, which not only significantly improves the reliability of the connection and the overall performance stability of the wine cellar air conditioner, but also extends the service life of the humidification components and pipelines, and reduces maintenance costs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0019] This embodiment provides a water-leakage-proof wine cellar air conditioner, such as Figures 1 to 4 The wine cellar air conditioner comprises an air conditioner body 10 , an access panel 20 and a humidifying assembly 30 located inside the air conditioner body 10 .

[0020] The air conditioner body 10 is, for example, a metal shell, which is provided with a refrigeration system, a control circuit and other components (not shown in the figure). The humidification component 30 is located at the air outlet side of the air conditioner body 10, and its specific structure will be described in detail in subsequent embodiments.

[0021] Specifically, a first quick-release connector 40 for connecting to the water inlet end of the humidification assembly 30 is provided in the air-conditioning body 10; the inspection plate 20 is detachably mounted on the side of the air-conditioning body 10 away from the water inlet direction of the first quick-release connector 40, and a second quick-release connector 50 is provided on the inspection plate 20; one end of the second quick-release connector 50 is placed in the air-conditioning body 10 and is detachably connected to the first quick-release connector 40 through the water inlet pipe 60, and the other end is used to connect to an external humidification water source.

[0022] When implementing it, Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the access panel 20 can be fixed on the air conditioner body 10 by means of screws or buckles, etc., which is convenient for disassembly. When it is necessary to maintain or replace the humidification assembly 30, the refrigeration system, the water receiving tray, the drain pump, the evaporator pipeline and other components, the access panel 20 can be removed. At this time, in order to further facilitate the maintenance operation, the connection between the first quick-release joint 40 and the water inlet pipe 60 can be disconnected, and the second quick-release joint 50 together with the water inlet pipe 60 can be taken out from the air conditioner body 10. Of course, in some cases, the connection between the second quick-release joint 50 and the water inlet pipe 60 can also be disconnected, and then taken out separately to further improve the maintenance efficiency. In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 60 can be a flexible hose or a hard pipe, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0023] In this way, the first quick-release connector 40 and the second quick-release connector 50 have good sealing performance and can maintain reliable sealing even after multiple plugging and unplugging, avoiding the common problems of hose deformation and reduced joint sealing that occur in the hose and ordinary joint connection method used in the related technology, thereby effectively preventing water leakage. At the same time, the standardized quick-release connector connection method ensures that the sealing effect of each connection is consistent, avoiding the uncertainty caused by differences in human operation, and improving the reliability of the connection and the performance of the wine cellar air conditioner.

[0024] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a solenoid valve 70 for controlling water inlet to the humidifying assembly 30 is provided on the inspection panel, and the water inlet pipe 60 includes a first pipe 61 and a second pipe 62; the water inlet end of the solenoid valve 70 is detachably connected to the second quick-release connector 50 through the first pipe 61, and the water outlet end of the solenoid valve 70 is detachably connected to the first quick-release connector 40 through the second pipe 62.

[0025] In specific implementation, the solenoid valve 70 can be controlled by the control system of the wine cellar air conditioner, and the water intake of the humidification component 30 can be automatically adjusted according to the humidity in the wine cellar, so as to realize automatic humidification control without manual intervention. In this embodiment, the water inlet pipe 60 is divided into two sections and connected through the solenoid valve 70, so that the humidification system can be maintained and repaired more conveniently. For example, when the solenoid valve 70 needs to be repaired or replaced, after removing the repair panel 20 and taking out the solenoid valve 70 together, it is only necessary to disconnect the first pipe 61 and the second pipe 62 from the solenoid valve 70, without disassembling the entire water inlet pipeline. Similarly, if the humidification component 30 needs to be repaired or replaced, the connection between the second pipe 62 and the first quick-release connector 40 can also be conveniently disconnected.

[0026] In this embodiment, if Figure 4 As shown, the water inlet end of the solenoid valve 70 is provided with a third quick-release connector 71, and the second quick-release connector 50 is detachably connected to the third quick-release connector 71 through the first pipe 61; the water outlet end of the solenoid valve 70 is provided with a fourth quick-release connector 72, and the fourth quick-release connector 72 is detachably connected to the first quick-release connector 40 through the second pipe 62.

[0027] With this structural design, by providing the third quick-release connector 71 and the fourth quick-release connector 72 at both ends of the solenoid valve 70, the connection between the solenoid valve 70 and the water inlet pipeline and the humidification assembly 30 can be quickly disconnected, which makes the solenoid valve 70 an independent module that can be flexibly added to or removed from the system as needed. For example, if a wine cellar does not need the automatic humidification function, the solenoid valve 70 and its related pipes and quick-release connectors can be easily removed without modifying other components.

[0028] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the first pipe 61 and the second pipe 62 are each independently a whole continuous pipe, or are formed by connecting at least two pipes, namely, pipe 60a, pipe 60b and at least one fifth quick-release connector 60c. In the actual installation process, some unpredictable obstacles or space limitations may be encountered. This design allows the pipe to be customized as needed. It can be a whole continuous pipe or a pipe connected by multiple sections to flexibly bypass obstacles or complete installation in a limited space, so as to flexibly configure the length and direction of the pipe as needed, which facilitates the customized design of the product.

[0029] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the humidifying assembly 30 includes a shell 31, a wet membrane 32 located inside the shell 31, and a water distribution pipe 33 connected to the first quick-release joint 40. The water distribution pipe 33 is located above the wet membrane 32, and the water distribution pipe 33 is installed in the shell 31 in a pullable manner along the water inlet direction of the first quick-release joint 40.

[0030] With this structural design, when necessary maintenance is carried out, for example, if impurities such as scale accumulate in the water distribution pipe 33, affecting the humidification effect, the retractable design of the water distribution pipe 33 makes it easy to pull the water distribution pipe 33 out of the shell 31 for cleaning without disassembling other components, thereby simplifying the maintenance process and improving maintenance efficiency.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first quick-release connector 40 is a two-way quick-plug connector, and the water distribution pipe 33 is coaxially arranged with the first quick-release connector 40. The coaxial arrangement ensures the precise docking of the water distribution pipe 33 and the first quick-release connector 40, and the two-way quick plug of the first quick-release connector 40 means that connection and disconnection are very fast and convenient, without the need for rotation or other complicated operations, and the connection or disconnection can be completed by simply inserting or pulling out the water distribution pipe 33, which greatly improves the operation efficiency and is intuitive and easy to understand.

[0032] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a partition 80 is provided in the air conditioner body 10 , and the partition 80 , the inspection plate and part of the inner wall of the air conditioner body 10 together define an inspection area 81 , the water inlet pipe 60 is located in the inspection area 81 , and the first quick-release connector 40 is detachably mounted on the partition 80 .

[0033] In specific implementation, the components that need to be frequently maintained or replaced, such as the water inlet pipe 60, the first quick-release connector 40, and the solenoid valve 70, are concentrated in the inspection area 81, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to operate. That is, after opening the inspection panel 20, these components can be directly contacted, thereby improving maintenance efficiency. In addition, the inspection area 81 can isolate components such as the water inlet pipeline from other components in the air conditioner body 10 (such as the refrigeration system, the circuit system, etc.) to avoid mutual interference, thereby improving the safety of the system. For example, it can prevent the water inlet pipeline from leaking under extreme working conditions (damage caused by external factors) and causing damage to other components.

[0034] The leak-proof wine cellar air conditioner provided in this embodiment utilizes the excellent sealing performance of the quick-release joint to maintain a reliable seal even after multiple plugging and unplugging, thereby avoiding the risk of leakage caused by hose deformation and reduced sealing of ordinary joints. That is, the standardized quick-release joint connection method is easy and quick to operate, and the sealing effect of each connection is highly consistent, eliminating the uncertainty caused by differences in human operation. It not only significantly improves the reliability of the connection and the overall performance stability of the wine cellar air conditioner, but also extends the service life of the humidification components and pipelines, and reduces maintenance costs.
