Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and specifically provides an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] An air conditioner is a cooling and heating device, generally including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, which are connected by a connection pipe. An air conditioner generally uses the indoor unit for cooling and heating. Specifically, when the air conditioner is running in the cold winter, the indoor unit heats up the room, and when the air conditioner is running in the hot summer, the indoor unit cools down the room.
[0003] At present, the joint connecting the air conditioner indoor unit and the online pipe is generally arranged on the rear side of the air conditioner indoor unit. However, for the air conditioner indoor unit that needs to be embedded in the cabinet (especially the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit), if the air conditioner indoor unit is installed in the cabinet first, the joint will not be visible. If the air conditioner indoor unit is connected to the joint of the online pipe first, and then the air conditioner indoor unit is pushed into and installed in the cabinet, an extra length of the online pipe must be reserved, which is not only costly and occupies more space, but also the online pipe is at risk of being bent and flattened in the process. Therefore, the existing air conditioner indoor unit is not convenient to be embedded in the cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0004] One purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem that the existing air-conditioning indoor unit is inconvenient to be embedded in a cabinet.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned object, the utility model provides an air conditioner indoor unit in a first aspect, comprising:
[0006] The housing comprises a rear housing and a front housing, wherein an opening is arranged at the front side of the rear housing, and the front housing is mounted on the rear housing to cover the opening; the rear housing is also provided with an escape notch for escaping the online pipe, and the escape notch is exposed by the opening;
[0007] a heat exchanger, arranged in the rear shell;
[0008] The indoor unit connector is fluidically connected to the heat exchanger, and the indoor unit connector is arranged at the front of the heat exchanger and is exposed by the opening.
[0009] Optionally, the indoor unit connector is arranged in a vertical direction; and / or, the indoor unit connector is arranged at the top of the heat exchanger.
[0010] Optionally, the indoor unit connector is arranged at one end of the heat exchanger in the lateral direction.
[0011] Optionally, the electric control component of the air conditioner indoor unit is arranged in the rear shell and is located on a side of the rear shell away from the indoor unit connector.
[0012] Optionally, a projection of the indoor unit connector on the plane where the opening is located falls within a contour range of the opening, so as to facilitate connection between the indoor unit connector and an online pipe connector of the online pipe.
[0013] Optionally, the front shell is provided with a return air outlet and an air supply outlet.
[0014] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a front panel mounted on the front shell, and the front panel is used for opening and shielding the return air outlet.
[0015] Optionally, the air conditioner indoor unit further comprises a driving device mounted on the front shell, wherein the driving device is configured to open and / or close the front panel.
[0016] Optionally, the air-conditioning indoor unit is a built-in air-conditioner; and / or, the air-conditioning indoor unit is a wall-mounted air-conditioner.
[0017] The utility model provides an air conditioner in a second aspect, comprising an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner indoor unit as described in any one of the first aspects.
[0018] Based on the foregoing description, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that in the aforementioned technical solution of the utility model, by setting the housing as two parts, namely, the rear housing and the front housing, the rear housing can be embedded in the cabinet and fixed to the wall before the front housing. By setting a relief notch on the rear housing for avoiding the online pipe and being exposed, the online pipe can extend from the outside of the rear housing to the inside of the rear housing through the relief notch. By arranging the indoor unit joint at the front of the heat exchanger and being exposed, the installer can connect the online pipe joint of the online pipe to the indoor unit joint embedded in the cabinet through the opening on the rear housing. Therefore, the air conditioner indoor unit of the utility model can be embedded in the cabinet relatively easily. Moreover, after the front housing is installed on the rear housing, the online pipe joint and the indoor unit joint can also be hidden by the front housing, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0019] Furthermore, by arranging the indoor unit joint in the vertical direction, it is convenient for the installer to use a wrench or other tool to tighten the nut and connect the online pipe joint to the indoor unit joint. By arranging the indoor unit joint at the top of the heat exchanger, the indoor unit joint is closer to the pipe avoidance groove at the rear side of the casing for avoiding the online pipe in the vertical direction, thereby reducing the length of the refrigerant pipe.
[0020] Furthermore, by arranging the electronic control component of the air conditioner indoor unit in the rear shell on the side of the rear shell away from the indoor unit joint, the refrigerant can be effectively prevented from contacting the electronic control component when leaking from the online pipe joint and the indoor unit joint, thereby effectively preventing the leaked refrigerant from being ignited by the electronic control component.
[0021] Furthermore, by arranging the return air outlet and the air supply outlet on the front shell, the air conditioner indoor unit of the utility model can be embedded in a smaller space in the form of wall-mounted, without having to reserve enough return air space for the return air outlet on the top like an ordinary wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit.
[0022] Furthermore, by providing a front panel for opening and covering the return air outlet on the front shell, the front panel can be opened when the air-conditioning indoor unit is in use to ensure normal cooling; when not in use, the front panel can be closed to prevent dust from entering the shell, while also ensuring the aesthetics of the air-conditioning indoor unit.
[0023] Furthermore, by configuring a driving device for opening and / or closing the front panel for the air-conditioning indoor unit, the air-conditioning indoor unit can automatically open and close the front panel, which is more intelligent and improves the user experience.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 includes a casing 110, a heat exchanger 121, an electronic control component 122, an electronic control component 122, an air guide plate 123, a filter 124, a fan 125, an optional front panel 130, an optional drive device 140 and an indoor unit connector 150.
[0039] The housing 110 includes a rear housing 111 and a front housing 112. The front side of the rear housing 111 is provided with an opening 1111, and the front housing 112 is mounted on the rear housing 111 to cover the opening 1111. The rear side of the rear housing 111 is provided with a slot for arranging the inline pipe 200 (such as Figures 4 to 6 The rear shell 111 is also provided with a bypass notch 1113 for bypassing the online pipe 200, so that the online pipe 200 in the pipeline bypass notch 1112 can extend into the rear shell 111 through the bypass notch 1113. The bypass notch 1113 is exposed by the opening 1111.
[0040] The heat exchanger 121 , the electronic control component 122 , the air guide plate 123 and the fan 125 are all arranged in the rear shell 111 .
[0041] Furthermore, the projections of the heat exchanger 121 , the electronic control assembly 122 , the air guide plate 123 and the fan 125 on the plane where the opening 1111 is located fall within the contour of the opening 1111 , so as to facilitate the installation and maintenance of these components.
[0042] It should be noted that, in some embodiments of the present invention, the plane where the opening 1111 is located can be a plane in the strict sense, or can be a curved surface with a certain curvature.
[0043] Further, the outline of the opening 1111 generally refers to the edge / side wall surrounding the opening 1111.
[0044] It should also be noted that, in the description of the present utility model, when the projection of a certain component on the plane where the opening 1111 is located falls within the contour of the opening 1111, it may be that the projection of the entire component on the plane where the opening 1111 is located falls within the contour of the opening 1111, or it may be that the projection of a part of the component on the plane where the opening 1111 is located falls within the contour of the opening 1111.
[0045] The indoor unit connector 150 is fluidically connected to the heat exchanger 121 through the refrigerant pipe 1211 , and the indoor unit connector 150 is arranged at the front of the heat exchanger 121 and is exposed by the opening 1111 .
[0046] Furthermore, the projection of the indoor unit connector 150 on the plane where the opening 1111 is located falls within the contour of the opening 1111 , so as to facilitate the connection between the indoor unit connector 150 and the online pipe connector 210 of the online pipe 200 .
[0047] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that in some embodiments of the present invention, by setting the housing 110 as two parts, the rear housing 111 and the front housing 112, the rear housing 111 can be embedded in the cabinet 001 and fixed to the wall before the front housing 112. By setting a relief notch 1113 on the rear housing 111 for avoiding the online pipe 200 and exposed by the opening 1111, the online pipe 200 can extend from the outside of the rear housing 111 to the inside of the rear housing 111 through the relief notch 1113. By arranging the indoor unit connector 150 at the front of the heat exchanger 121 and exposed by the opening 1111, the installer can connect the online pipe connector 210 of the online pipe 200 to the indoor unit connector 150 embedded in the cabinet 001 through the opening 1111 on the rear housing 111. Therefore, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present invention can be relatively easily embedded in the cabinet 001. Furthermore, after the front shell 112 is mounted on the rear shell 111 , the online pipe joint 210 and the indoor unit joint 150 can also be hidden by the front shell 112 , thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 .
[0048] from Figure 1 and Figure 3 As can be seen in the figure, the indoor unit connector 150 is arranged in the vertical direction to facilitate the installer to use a tool such as a wrench to tighten the nut to connect the online pipe connector 210 and the indoor unit connector 150 together.
[0049] Further, from Figure 1 and Figure 3 It can also be seen that the indoor unit connector 150 is arranged at the top of the heat exchanger 121, so that the indoor unit connector 150 is closer to the pipe avoidance groove 1112 on the rear side of the casing 110 in the vertical direction for avoiding the online pipe 200, thereby reducing the length of the refrigerant pipe 1211.
[0050] Further, from Figure 1 and Figure 3 It can also be seen that the indoor unit connector 150 is arranged at one end of the heat exchanger 121 in the lateral direction to reduce the length of the refrigerant pipe 1211.
[0051] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the electric control component 122 is arranged in the rear shell 111 and is located on the side of the rear shell 111 away from the indoor unit connector 150 to prevent the refrigerant from contacting the electric control component 122 when leaking from the online pipe connector 210 and the indoor unit connector 150, thereby preventing the leaked refrigerant from being ignited by the electric control component 122.
[0052] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the front shell 112 is provided with a return air port 1122 and an air supply port 1121 .
[0053] Furthermore, since the air supply port 1121 and the air return port 1122 are both arranged on the front shell 112, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present invention can be embedded in a smaller space in the form of wall hanging, and it is not necessary to reserve enough air return space for the air return port 1122 at the top thereof like the ordinary air conditioner indoor unit 100.
[0054] It can be seen that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present invention can be an embedded air conditioner and a wall-mounted air conditioner. That is, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 of the present invention can be an air conditioner indoor unit 100 embedded in the cabinet 001 and mounted on the wall.
[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the filter 124 of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be installed at the return air outlet 1122 of the front shell 112, so that the user can remove the filter 124 for cleaning, replacement, etc.
[0056] Furthermore, the front shell 112 is provided with a grille (not marked in the figure) at the return air outlet 1122 thereof to prevent the filter screen 124 from being excessively deformed under the action of negative pressure.
[0057] Continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the front panel 130 opens and shields the return air vent 1122 .
[0058] When the front panel 130 opens the return air port 1122, air in the environment can enter the housing 110 from the return air port 1122. When the front panel 130 shields the return air port 1122, dust can be prevented from entering the housing 110.
[0059] Further, the return air port 1122 is disposed on the upper side of the supply air port 1121. In addition, the front panel 130 is rotatably connected to the front housing 112, and the rotation axis of the front panel 130 is located at the bottom side of the front panel 130.
[0060] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that this arrangement of the return air vent 1122 and the front panel 130 enables the front panel 130 to be blocked between the return air vent 1122 and the supply air vent 1121 when opened, thereby effectively preventing the return air of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 from being mixed with the cold air / hot air it delivers.
[0061] In addition, in other embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also dispose the rotation axis of the front panel 130 on the top side of the front panel 130 as needed.
[0062] Continue reading Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, the driving device 140 is configured to open and / or close the front panel 130. That is, the driving device 140 is used to drive the front panel 130 to rotate.
[0063] Furthermore, the driving device 140 includes a driving motor 141 , a driving connecting rod 142 and a driven connecting rod 143 .
[0064] The driving motor 141 is mounted on the rear housing 111 or the front housing 112. For example, the housing of the driving motor 141 is fixedly connected to the front housing 112.
[0065] The driving connecting rod 142 is drivingly connected to the driving motor 141 through one end thereof. The driving connecting rod 142 is rotationally connected to one end of the driven connecting rod 143 through the other end thereof, and the other end of the driven connecting rod 143 is rotationally connected to the front panel 130 .
[0066] Furthermore, one end of the driving connecting rod 142 can be directly coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 141, and one end of the driving connecting rod 142 can also be driven and connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 141 through a reducer.
[0067] In addition, those skilled in the art may also configure the driving device 140 to any other feasible structure as needed, such as a combination of an electric push rod, a motor and a gear pair.
[0068] Exemplarily, the driving device 140 includes a driving motor 141 fixedly connected to the rear housing 111, a housing of the driving motor 141 fixedly connected to the rear housing 111, and a gear coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the driving motor 141. The front panel 130 is also provided with a gear at its rotating shaft, and the gear meshes with the gear on the driving motor 141. The driving motor 141 opens the front panel 130 when it rotates forward, and closes the front panel 130 when it rotates reversely.
[0069] In addition, in other embodiments of the utility model, those skilled in the art may also omit the provision of the driving device 140 as needed, and provide a structure on the front panel 130 for the user to manually open and close, so that the user can open and close the front panel 130 through objects such as a clothesline.
[0070] Alternatively, in another embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art may also omit the front panel 130 and the driving device 140 as needed.
[0071] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, an air duct 1114 is defined on the rear shell 111 , an air inlet 11141 of the air duct 1114 is aligned with the return air outlet 1122 on the front shell 112 , and an air outlet 11142 of the air duct 1114 is aligned with the supply air outlet 1121 on the front shell 112 .
[0072] Continue reading Figure 2 In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat exchanger 121 and the fan 125 of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 are both arranged in the air duct 1114 , and the heat exchanger 121 can be arranged upstream of the fan 125 .
[0073] When the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is cooling, the heat exchanger 121 is used as an evaporator to cool the air in the casing 110 ; when the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is heating, the heat exchanger 121 is used as a condenser to heat the air in the casing 110 .
[0074] The fan 125 is used to drive the air in the environment to enter the air duct 1114 through the return air port 1122 on the front housing 112 and the air inlet 11141 of the air duct 1114, and drive the air in the air duct 1114 to flow to the environment again through the air outlet 11142 of the air duct 1114 and the air supply port 1121 on the front housing 112. This reciprocating cycle is used to achieve cooling or heating of the environment by the air conditioner indoor unit 100.
[0075] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air guide plate 123 of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is also mounted on the rear shell 111 and is located at the air outlet 11142 of the air duct 1114 and / or the air supply port 1121 of the front shell 112 .
[0076] Furthermore, the projection of the air guide plate 123 on the plane where the opening 1111 is located falls within the contour range of the opening 1111 , so as to facilitate the maintenance of the air guide plate 123 .
[0077] Refer to the following Figures 5 to 7 , to briefly describe the installation process of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 in some embodiments of the present invention.
[0078] First, if Figure 5 As shown in , the online pipe 200 is fixed to the wall, and the part of the online pipe 200 having the online pipe joint 210 is arranged inside the cabinet 001, and the online pipe joint 210 is roughly located at the position of the indoor unit joint 150.
[0079] Then, if Figure 6 As shown, the rear housing 111 and its internal components are embedded in the cabinet 001 and mounted on the wall. Afterwards, the nut is screwed by a tool such as a wrench to fix the online pipe joint 210 and the indoor unit joint 150 together.
[0080] It should be noted that, for ease of understanding, Figure 6 The top plate and the lateral side plates of the rear shell 111 are hidden in the figure to clearly show the online pipe joint 210 and the indoor unit joint 150.
[0081] Finally, if Figure 7 As shown, the front shell 112 is then mounted on the rear shell 111 .
[0082] At this point, those skilled in the art can understand that the present invention not only facilitates the installation personnel to connect the indoor unit connector 150 with the online pipe connector 210, so that the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 of the present invention can be more easily embedded in the cabinet 001; it also facilitates the maintenance personnel to inspect and repair the internal components of the air-conditioning indoor unit 100.
[0083] In addition, the utility model also provides an air conditioner 002.
[0084] like Figure 8 As shown, the air conditioner 002 includes an air conditioner indoor unit 100, a connection pipe 200, and an air conditioner outdoor unit 300 described in any of the above embodiments. The air conditioner indoor unit 100 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 are respectively connected to the connection pipe 200 through a joint, so that the refrigerant circulates between the air conditioner indoor unit 100 and the air conditioner outdoor unit 300.
[0085] When the air conditioner 002 is cooling, the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 releases heat, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 absorbs heat to cool the room.
[0086] When the air conditioner 002 is heating, the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 absorbs heat, and the air conditioner indoor unit 100 releases heat to heat the room.
[0087] The air conditioner 002 generally needs to use its refrigeration system to complete cooling or heating.
[0088] The refrigeration system includes a compressor, a condenser, a pressure reducing component (an expansion valve or a capillary tube) and an evaporator which are connected end to end in sequence.
[0089] Among them, the compressor and the pressure reducing member are generally provided in the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 .
[0090] Furthermore, a heat exchanger 121 is disposed in each of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 300 and the air-conditioning indoor unit 100 .
[0091] When the air conditioner 002 is working, the refrigerant in the refrigeration system circulates along the following path: compressor→condenser→pressure reducing component→evaporator→compressor.
[0092] When the refrigerant flows through the compressor, it is compressed into a high-temperature and high-pressure state (liquid or gas-liquid mixed state).
[0093] When the refrigerant flows through the condenser, it dissipates heat through the condenser and cools down to a low temperature and high pressure state (liquid or gas-liquid mixed state).
[0094] When the refrigerant flows through the pressure reducing component, it is throttled and reduced in pressure to a low-temperature and low-pressure state (liquid state or gas-liquid mixed state).
[0095] When the refrigerant flows through the evaporator, it absorbs heat from the external environment through the evaporator and heats up to a high-temperature and low-pressure state (gaseous state).
[0096] Among them, the aforementioned states of the refrigerant in the compressor, condenser, pressure reducing component, and evaporator, that is, the high temperature, low temperature, high pressure, and low pressure of the refrigerant, are the states of the refrigerant after entering the corresponding components or flowing out of the corresponding components compared to the states before it flows into the corresponding components.
[0097] When the air conditioner 002 is heating, the heat exchanger 121 in the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 is used as an evaporator, and the heat exchanger 121 in the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is used as a condenser.
[0098] When the air conditioner 002 is cooling, the heat exchanger 121 in the air conditioner outdoor unit 300 is used as a condenser, and the heat exchanger 121 in the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is used as an evaporator.
[0099] It should be noted that the present invention only describes the main components of the refrigeration system and the general refrigerant flow path. In actual product applications, the refrigeration system may also have at least one series and / or parallel branch.
[0100] So far, the technical solution of the utility model has been described in combination with the above multiple embodiments, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the technical principle of the utility model, those skilled in the art can split and combine the technical solutions in the above embodiments, and can also make equivalent changes or replacements to the relevant technical features. Any changes, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the technical concept and / or technical principle of the utility model will fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
[0101] Finally, it should be noted that in the present invention, the term "communication" means fluid communication, so as to allow fluid (such as air, liquid) to flow between two connected objects. And the "communication" can be to allow the fluid to flow between the two connected objects without leakage, or to allow the fluid to flow between the two connected objects with a little leakage.
