Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, in particular to a branch air box. Background Art

[0002] As people's requirements for living environment become higher and higher, more and more people begin to choose central air conditioning systems. An efficient ventilation system directly determines whether the air volume generated by the central fan can be evenly distributed to each area. The air distribution box is an important part of the ventilation system. It can avoid the problem of uneven air volume in a single pipeline and ensure that each area gets the appropriate air volume.

[0003] Since the airflow enters the air distribution box at a high speed, collision occurs inside the air distribution box, which easily generates eddy currents and emits noise. Especially for air distribution boxes made of metal, poor welding and assembly quality, gaps at the interfaces, uneven interfaces with burrs and other problems are prone to generate noise. Existing air distribution boxes usually adopt the method of adding sound-absorbing materials inside or wrapping sound-absorbing materials outside to reduce noise. Whether adding sound-absorbing materials inside or outside, it will indirectly increase the volume of the air distribution box, occupy the limited space of the building or house, affect the interior design layout and aesthetics, and increase the manufacturing cost. Even some of the sound-absorbing materials installed inside occupy the internal space of the air distribution box, affecting the operation of the ventilation system and increasing the energy consumption of the air-conditioning system.

[0004] Therefore, the above problems need to be solved urgently. Utility Model Content

The upper cover is provided at the upper end of the shell, and the upper cover and the shell are sealed and connected to form an air distribution chamber. The inner wall of the shell is set as a wave surface. During installation, the air inlet pipe and the air inlet are sealed and connected, and the air outlet and the branch air duct are sealed and connected. The air inlet duct inputs the air flow from the air inlet into the air distribution chamber, and outputs it to each branch air duct through the air outlet.

[0007] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, the bottom surface of the upper cover is a wave surface, which improves the bearing capacity and pressure resistance of the upper cover, reduces vortices and turbulence, improves flow efficiency, and absorbs and disperses the noise generated by the airflow.

[0008] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, the upper cover is provided with a support column, and the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the shell is provided with a groove corresponding to the support column, and the support column extends into the groove for engagement. The support column can enhance the structural strength of the air distribution box, and extending the support column into the groove is conducive to fixing the upper cover. The airflow enters the air distribution box from the air inlet, and the support column guides the airflow to flow along both sides of the support column, so that the airflow is evenly dispersed to each air outlet of the air distribution box, optimizing the airflow distribution, and ensuring that each part obtains a balanced airflow supply.

[0009] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, the cross section of the support column is in a cone shape from the air inlet to the air outlet, the side surface of the support column is a wave surface, and the side wall of the groove provided on the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the shell is a wave surface corresponding to the side surface of the support column. The cone-shaped support column can reduce wind resistance due to its lower windward surface, can reduce airflow energy loss, and guide the airflow to flow to each air outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, in order to fix the shell and the upper cover to form a better sealing structure, a sealing boss is provided along the opening circumference of the upper end of the shell, and the upper cover is provided with a sealing groove corresponding to the sealing boss, and the sealing boss is embedded in the sealing groove to form a seal.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, in order to meet the application requirements of multiple scenarios, multiple air outlets are provided, and the air outlets are distributed in a polygonal shape.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, the shell and the upper cover are made of foamed polypropylene. The air distribution box is made of foamed polypropylene. Since foamed polypropylene is light in weight, the weight of the air distribution box can be significantly reduced, which is convenient for handling and installation. Foamed polypropylene can prevent the rapid exchange of cold and hot air, help improve energy efficiency, and reduce the loss of cold and warm air. Foamed polypropylene has strong corrosion resistance and durability. There is no emission of harmful substances during the production process, and it can be recycled and reused after being discarded. Foamed polypropylene is easy to process. Foamed polypropylene is used as a commonly used noise reduction material to further improve the noise reduction performance.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, in order to improve the connection strength between the air outlet and the branch air duct, the air outlet is provided with a pre-embedded sheet metal part.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned air distribution box, the shell is provided with a plurality of locking holes, and the upper cover is provided with through holes corresponding to the locking holes.

[0015] It can be seen from the above technical scheme that the utility model has the following beneficial effects: in the utility model, the inner wall of the air distribution box is designed to be wavy. This structure is similar to an arch bridge and can disperse stress, improve the bearing capacity and pressure resistance of the shell. The wavy inner wall can change the flow characteristics of the fluid, reduce vortices and turbulence, reduce the resistance coefficient, and improve flow efficiency. The wavy inner wall can absorb and disperse the noise generated by the airflow. The air distribution box is made of foamed polypropylene.
