Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, in particular to an integrated air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] As an indispensable appliance in modern homes and commercial places, the performance and structure of air conditioners are constantly being optimized and upgraded. Through-the-wall air conditioners have won the favor of consumers with their unique design and convenient installation method. However, existing through-the-wall air conditioners generally use fixed-frequency technology. Although it meets market demand to a certain extent, it still needs to be improved in terms of energy efficiency, noise control and service life.

[0003] In recent years, frequency conversion technology has been widely used in the field of household appliances, especially in the air conditioning industry. Frequency conversion air conditioners adjust the speed of the compressor to achieve precise control of the cooling capacity, thereby improving the energy efficiency ratio, reducing energy consumption, and effectively reducing noise. However, the computer board of the frequency conversion air conditioner is larger than that of the fixed frequency air conditioner, which brings challenges to the design of through-the-wall air conditioners. How to reasonably layout the computer board and ensure the heat dissipation effect while ensuring the performance of the air conditioner has become an urgent problem to be solved.

[0004] At present, when designing through-the-wall air conditioners on the market, since the computer board is small, it usually does not need to occupy the outdoor space, and has little impact on the outdoor air intake effect. However, for variable-frequency through-the-wall air conditioners, due to the large size of the computer board, the electric control box that accommodates the computer board needs to be designed larger, and the traditional layout method cannot meet the needs. In order to accommodate a larger computer board, some products have to increase the front and back length of the product, which not only affects the aesthetics of the product, but may also affect the utilization of the indoor space.

[0005] Therefore, how to mount the electronic control box on the through-the-wall air conditioner without increasing the front and rear length of the product, affecting product performance, and affecting the heat dissipation of the computer board has become a technical problem that technical personnel in this field need to solve.

[0007] A further object of the utility model is to utilize the front baffle to increase the heat dissipation area of ​​the electric control box.

[0008] Another further purpose of the utility model is to utilize condensed water to dissipate heat from the electric control box.

[0009] Another further purpose of the present invention is to optimize the air circulation effect and enhance the heat dissipation performance.

[0010] In particular, the utility model provides an integrated air conditioner, including an indoor part, the indoor part including:

[0011] A front baffle having a front section and a rear section, wherein the lateral width of the rear section is smaller than the lateral width of the front section, and the rear section is formed with a first accommodating groove indented inwardly on one side in the lateral direction; and

[0012] The electric control box is arranged in the first accommodating groove, extends up and down along the height direction of the front partition, and its outer surface does not exceed the outer surface of the front section of the front partition in the lateral direction.

[0013] Optionally, the ratio of the lateral width of the first accommodating groove to the lateral width of the front section of the front partition is in the range of 1:3 to 1:5.

[0014] Optionally, the front partition is a metal partition, and at least part of the outer surface of the electric control box abuts against the outer surface of the front partition at the first accommodating groove.

[0015] Optionally, a heat-conducting rib protruding toward the electric control box is formed on an outer surface of the front baffle at the first accommodating groove, and the heat-conducting rib is used to conduct heat from the electric control box to the front baffle.

[0016] Optionally, the indoor part also includes an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan, a first concave cavity for accommodating the indoor heat exchanger is formed inside the front section of the front partition, and a second concave cavity for accommodating the indoor fan is formed inside the rear section.

[0017] Optionally, the indoor part further includes a water receiving tray, the water receiving tray is supported below the electric control box, and a water guide groove is provided on the top of the water receiving tray, and the water guide groove is used to guide condensed water to flow through the electric control box.

[0018] Optionally, the integrated air conditioner further comprises:

[0019] The outdoor part includes a rear partition, which is arranged with a front-to-back spacing with the front partition, and air inlets are formed on both sides of the rear partition in the transverse direction, and the electric control box is arranged relative to the air inlet on one side in front and back.

[0020] Optionally, the lateral width of the air inlet is greater than or equal to the lateral width of the electric control box; and

[0021] A ventilation gap is formed between the electric control box and the rear partition plate to allow air flow to pass through.

[0022] Optionally, the outdoor part further includes a compressor, and the compressor is arranged on a side of the front partition away from the electric control box.

[0023] Optionally, the integrated air conditioner further comprises: a casing, in which an installation space is defined, the installation space having an indoor side for accommodating the indoor part and an outdoor side for accommodating the outdoor part;

[0024] The rear portion of the casing is open, and the air inlet extending vertically is formed between the two sides of the rear partition and the casing.

[0025] The integrated air conditioner of the utility model has a narrower rear section of the front partition and forms a first accommodating groove indented inward on one side. The electric control box can be installed in the first accommodating groove in a vertically extending manner to ensure that its outer surface does not exceed the outer surface of the front section of the front partition in the lateral direction. In this way, after the electric control box is installed in place, it will neither affect the original appearance size of the air conditioner nor occupy additional internal space of the air conditioner, making the overall layout of the air conditioner more compact, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner.

[0026] Furthermore, the front baffle of the integrated air conditioner of the utility model is a metal baffle with good thermal conductivity and heat dissipation performance.

[0027] Furthermore, in the integrated air conditioner of the utility model, the water receiving pan of the indoor part is supported below the electric control box, and the water receiving pan can collect condensed water generated by the air conditioner during the cooling process. A water guide groove is designed on the top of the water receiving pan, and the water guide groove can guide the condensed water to flow through the electric control box. Since the temperature of the condensed water is usually low, when the condensed water flows through the electric control box, it can take away part of the heat on the surface of the electric control box by heat exchange, thereby assisting the electric control box in heat dissipation.

[0028] Furthermore, the integrated air conditioner of the utility model is provided with air inlets on both sides of the rear partition in the transverse direction, and the two air inlets can enable the air conditioner to more efficiently introduce outdoor air. The electric control box is arranged front and rear opposite to the air inlet on one side, and the transverse width of the air inlet is greater than or equal to the transverse width of the electric control box, which can ensure that the air inlet can cover the entire area of ​​the electric control box, which is not only conducive to optimizing the air circulation effect, but also can enhance the heat dissipation performance of the electric control box.

Therefore, the present invention is intended to cover such modifications and variations within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.

[0038] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 6 The integrated air conditioner 10 of the embodiment of the utility model is described.

In order to facilitate the illustration of the structure of the device, some drawings of the utility model are illustrated in perspective.

[0039] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the term "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined. When a feature "includes or contains" one or some of the features it covers, unless otherwise specifically described, this indicates that other features are not excluded and may further include other features.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0041] The utility model provides an integrated air conditioner 10 with exquisite design and compact structure. Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of an air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the utility model at a first viewing angle, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of an air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the utility model at a second viewing angle, Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the internal structure of an air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 4 is a structural diagram of a first containing groove 201 according to an embodiment of the utility model. Figure 5 is a schematic top view of an air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an air conditioner 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the integrated air conditioner 10 may include an indoor part 200 , and the indoor part 200 includes at least a front partition plate 210 and an electric control box 240 .

[0043] The front baffle 210 has a front section and a rear section, the lateral width of the rear section is smaller than that of the front section, and a first accommodating groove 201 indented inwardly is formed on one side of the rear section in the lateral direction.

[0044] The electric control box 240 is arranged in the first accommodation groove 201 , extending up and down along the height direction of the front partition 210 , and its outer surface does not exceed the outer surface of the front section of the front partition 210 in the lateral direction.

[0045] The integrated air conditioner 10 of the utility model has a narrower rear section of the front partition 210, and forms a first accommodating groove 201 inwardly indented on one side. The electric control box 240 can be installed in the first accommodating groove 201 in a vertically extending manner, ensuring that its outer surface does not exceed the outer surface of the front section of the front partition 210 in the lateral direction. In this way, after the electric control box 240 is installed in place, it will neither affect the original appearance size of the air conditioner 10 nor occupy additional internal space of the air conditioner 10, making the overall layout of the air conditioner 10 more compact, which is conducive to improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the air conditioner 10.

[0046] The indoor part 200 also includes an indoor heat exchanger 220 and an indoor fan 230. A first concave cavity is formed inside the front section of the front partition 210, and a second concave cavity is formed inside the rear section. The indoor heat exchanger 220 and the indoor fan 230 are respectively arranged in the first concave cavity and the second concave cavity along the front-to-back direction.

[0047] In this embodiment, the lateral width of the first concave cavity is greater than the lateral width of the second concave cavity. This design is mainly to meet the different requirements of the indoor heat exchanger 220 and the indoor fan 230 in terms of installation and heat dissipation. As the main heat exchange component, the indoor heat exchanger 220 requires a larger space for installation and heat dissipation, so it is placed in the first concave cavity with a larger lateral width. The indoor fan 230 is relatively small, and its installation and heat dissipation requirements are relatively low, so it is placed in the second concave cavity with a smaller lateral width.

[0048] In addition, this design also helps to optimize the airflow organization of the air conditioner 10. The airflow generated by the indoor fan 230 can pass through the indoor heat exchanger 220 to achieve the exchange of hot and cold air, and the processed air is sent into the room. The reasonable layout of the first cavity and the second cavity can ensure the smooth flow of airflow, reduce resistance, and improve the overall performance of the air conditioner 10.

[0049] It can be understood that since the first accommodating groove 201 and the second cavity are both located in the rear section of the front partition 210, while ensuring that the lateral width of the first accommodating groove 201 is sufficient to install the electrical control box 240, it is also necessary to prevent the lateral width of the first accommodating groove 201 from being designed to be too wide to avoid affecting the installation and operation of the indoor fan 230.

[0050] The ratio of the lateral width of the first accommodating groove 201 to the lateral width of the front section of the front partition 210 may be in the range of 1:3 to 1:5. For example, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, etc. Of course, this ratio range is only a guiding suggestion, and the actual design may be comprehensively considered according to factors such as the specific model of the air conditioner 10, the size of the electric control box 240, and the size of the indoor fan 230.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the front partition 210 may be a metal partition, such as a copper partition, a stainless steel partition, etc., and at least a portion of the outer surface of the electric control box 240 abuts against the outer surface of the front partition 210 at the first receiving groove 201. Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after the electric control box 240 is installed in place in the first receiving groove 201 , the front outer surface and the left outer surface of the electric control box 240 are respectively in contact with the corresponding outer surfaces of the front partition 210 .

[0052] The heat dissipation performance of the electric control box 240 is crucial to the stable operation of the air conditioner 10 as the core component of the air conditioner 10. Since the front baffle 210 is a metal baffle with good thermal conductivity and heat dissipation performance, the heat generated by the electric control box 240 can be directly transferred to the front baffle 210 after the electric control box 240 abuts against the front baffle 210, thereby avoiding the accumulation of heat inside the electric control box 240. At the same time, the front baffle 210 itself also increases the heat dissipation area of ​​the electric control box 240, which helps to achieve rapid heat dissipation of the electric control box 240 and ensure the stable operation of its internal components.

[0053] The indoor part 200 may further include a water receiving pan 250, which is supported below the electric control box 240. The water receiving pan 250 may collect condensed water generated during the cooling process of the air conditioner 10, specifically condensed water generated by the indoor heat exchanger 220. In addition, a water guide groove 251 is provided on the top of the water receiving pan 250, which may guide the condensed water to flow through the bottom of the electric control box 240. Since the temperature of the condensed water is usually low, when the condensed water flows through the electric control box 240, it may take away part of the heat on the surface of the electric control box 240 by heat exchange, thereby assisting the electric control box 240 in heat dissipation.

[0054] In some alternative embodiments, a water pump can also be used to pump the condensed water in the water tray 250 into a water pipe, and then the water pipe is wrapped around the front partition 210. This helps to increase the heat dissipation rate of the front partition 210, so that the heat generated by the electrical control box 240 can be conducted more to the front partition 210, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation rate of the electrical control box 240 itself.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, the integrated air conditioner 10 further includes an outdoor part 300, which may include a rear partition 310, which is arranged in a front-to-back spacing with the front partition 210, and air inlets 103 are formed on both sides of the rear partition 310 in the transverse direction, and the electric control box 240 is arranged in a front-to-back relative manner to the air inlet 103 on one side. In this way, during the air intake process, the outdoor air can directly blow the electric control box 240, further realizing the heat dissipation of the electric control box 240, while ensuring that the air intake at the rear side is not affected by the spatial position of the electric control box 240.

[0056] Furthermore, the lateral width of the air inlet 103 is greater than or equal to the lateral width of the electric control box 240, and the two air inlets 103 can enable the air conditioner 10 to introduce outdoor air more efficiently. At the same time, it can be ensured that the air inlet 103 can cover the entire area of ​​the electric control box 240. A ventilation gap allowing airflow to pass is formed between the electric control box 240 and the rear partition 310, so that the airflow flows more smoothly. In this way, it is not only conducive to optimizing the air circulation effect, but also can enhance the heat dissipation performance of the electric control box 240.

[0057] The integrated air conditioner 10 further includes a casing, and an installation space is defined in the casing, and the installation space has an indoor side for accommodating the indoor part 200 and an outdoor side for accommodating the outdoor part 300. The rear of the casing is open, and the above-mentioned air inlet 103 extending vertically is formed between the two sides of the rear partition 310 and the casing. That is, after the rear partition 310 is assembled in place, the air inlet 103 can be automatically reserved between the two sides of the rear partition 310 and the casing.

[0058] Specifically, the casing may include a base 101 and a cover 102. The base 101, as the basic part of the casing, carries the core components of the air conditioner 10 and provides a stable installation environment for it. The cover 102 is snapped onto the base 101, and a closed and safe installation space is formed between the cover 102 and the base 101. After the electric control box 240 is installed in place in the first receiving groove 201, it can be clamped between the cover 102 and the rear section of the front partition 210. In this way, not only the stability and safety of the electric control box 240 are ensured, but also the structural strength of the entire air conditioner 10 is improved.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, the front baffle 210 is formed with a heat-conducting rib 211 protruding toward the electric control box 240 on the outer surface of the first receiving groove 201, and the heat-conducting rib 211 is used to transfer the heat on the electric control box 240 to the front baffle 210. The design of the heat-conducting rib 211 can have various forms to meet different heat dissipation requirements. For example, the heat-conducting rib 211 can be located on the left side of the first receiving groove 201, and two heat-conducting ribs 211 extending from top to bottom are used. Such a layout can ensure that the left side surface of the electric control box 240 is in close contact with the heat-conducting rib 211, thereby maximizing the efficiency of heat conduction.

[0060] The presence of the heat-conducting ribs 211 not only helps to ensure the effective contact between the electric control box 240 and the front baffle 210, but also further improves the efficiency of heat conduction by increasing the contact area. When the electric control box 240 is running, the heat generated by it can be quickly transferred to the front baffle 210 through the heat-conducting ribs 211, and then dissipated to the surrounding environment by virtue of the good thermal conductivity and heat dissipation of the front baffle 210.

[0061] The outdoor part 300 further includes a compressor 340, which is arranged on a side of the front partition 210 away from the electric control box 240. Compared with arranging the compressor 340 and the electric control box 240 on the same side of the front partition 210, this layout can make the weight distribution of the whole machine more uniform and easy to carry during transportation.

[0062] In addition, the compressor 340 will generate certain vibration and noise during operation. If the compressor 340 and the electric control box 240 are arranged too close, electromagnetic interference is likely to occur. Such electromagnetic interference will not only affect the normal operation of the electric control box 240, but also cause the air conditioner performance to decline, and may even pose a potential threat to the health of the user. In this embodiment, the compressor 340 and the electric control box 240 are placed on both sides of the front partition 210, which can effectively prevent this problem.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the rear section of the front partition 210 is formed with a first accommodating groove 201 and a second accommodating groove 202 that are indented inward on both sides in the transverse direction, and the electric control box 240 and the compressor 340 are arranged between the front partition 210 and the rear partition 310, and at least part of the electric control box 240 is embedded in the first accommodating groove 201, and at least part of the compressor 340 is embedded in the second accommodating groove 202. The provision of the first accommodating groove 201 and the second accommodating groove 202 can reduce the space occupied by the rear section of the front partition 210, so that the saved space can partially accommodate the electric control box 240 and the compressor 340, which helps to make the structure of the air conditioner 10 more compact and reduce the front and rear length of the whole machine.

[0064] The ratio of the lateral width of the rear section to the front section can be in the range of 1:1.5 to 1:2. For example, 1:1.5, 1:1.8, 1:2, etc. It can be understood that since the first accommodating groove 201, the second accommodating groove 202 and the second concave cavity are all located in the rear section of the front partition 210, it is necessary to prevent the overall lateral width of the first accommodating groove 201 and the second accommodating groove 202 from being designed too wide while ensuring the lateral width of the first accommodating groove 201 and the second accommodating groove 202, so as to avoid affecting the installation and operation of the indoor fan 230.

[0065] The electric control box 240 of this embodiment is installed in the first receiving groove 201 in a vertically extending manner. This installation method helps to fully utilize the space, so that the electric control box 240 can be installed more stably inside the casing, and is also convenient for subsequent maintenance and replacement.

[0066] like Figure 5As shown, the central plane of the housing in the transverse direction passes through the electric control box 240. This means that the electric control box 240 is installed near the center of the housing, and this layout is conducive to heat distribution and heat dissipation inside the housing. Since the electric control box 240 is an important heat source inside the air conditioner 10, installing it in the center can ensure that the heat can be evenly dissipated around the housing, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation effect.

[0067] By vertically installing the electric control box 240 and arranging it at the center of the casing, the space inside the casing can be utilized to the maximum extent, so that other components can also be reasonably arranged.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the outdoor part 300 further includes a liquid reservoir 350 connected to the compressor 340 ; and at least a portion of the compressor 340 and the liquid reservoir 350 are both arranged in the second containing tank 202 .

[0069] As an important component of the air conditioning system, the accumulator 350 is mainly used to store liquid refrigerant and prevent the liquid refrigerant from directly entering the compressor 340, thereby preventing the compressor 340 from being damaged by liquid shock. By connecting to the compressor 340, the accumulator 350 can effectively collect and store the liquid refrigerant flowing out of the evaporator, ensuring the stable circulation of the refrigerant in the system.

[0070] At least part of the compressor 340 and the accumulator 350 are arranged in the second accommodating tank 202, which not only makes full use of the space, but also optimizes the structural layout of the air conditioning system. This layout reduces the distance of pipeline connection and refrigerant flow, thereby reducing the energy consumption and noise of the system. At the same time, the compact structure also makes installation and maintenance more convenient.

[0071] Since the accumulator 350 and the compressor 340 are both located in the second accommodating tank 202, they are more closely connected and matched with each other. This helps to improve the overall performance of the system and ensure the efficient circulation of the refrigerant in the system. At the same time, since the accumulator 350 can effectively prevent the liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor 340, the service life and reliability of the compressor 340 are also improved.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, the liquid reservoir 350 is located at the front side of the central plane of the casing along the transverse direction, and the compressor 340 is located at the rear side of the central plane of the casing along the transverse direction.

[0073] The compressor 340 is the main heat source of the air conditioning system, and its heat dissipation performance is crucial to the stable operation of the system. Placing the compressor 340 at the rear side of the central plane of the casing in the lateral direction can better utilize the heat dissipation space at the rear of the casing and improve the heat dissipation performance of the system. This ensures that when the compressor 340 is running efficiently, the heat generated by it can be quickly dissipated to avoid damage to the system caused by overheating.

[0074] Since the compressor 340 is one of the heavier components in the entire system, the selection of its position will affect the weight distribution of the entire system. If the compressor 340 is installed too far forward, the center of gravity of the entire system may shift, thereby increasing the difficulty of installation and the risk of operation.

[0075] In some embodiments, at least two positioning bosses are provided on the base 101, and the bottom of the compressor 340 is fixed on the positioning bosses. The design of the positioning bosses makes the installation process of the compressor 340 faster and easier. When installing the compressor 340, it is only necessary to align the corresponding position of the bottom of the compressor 340 with the positioning bosses and then fix them together. This design reduces the adjustment and calibration work required during the installation process, greatly improving the installation efficiency.

[0076] The positioning boss not only provides a stable support for the compressor 340, but also ensures the stability of the compressor 340 during operation through precise positioning, which helps to reduce damage to the compressor 340 caused by vibration or impact, thereby extending the service life of the compressor 340.

[0077] The positioning boss can raise the bottom of the compressor 340 to a certain height, reducing the direct contact area between the compressor 340 and the ground or the base 101, helping to prevent the bottom of the compressor 340 from being damaged due to prolonged contact with a wet or uneven surface, and further enhancing the durability of the compressor 340.

[0078] Since the positioning boss supports the bottom of the compressor 340, this also increases the contact area between the compressor 340 and the surrounding air to a certain extent, thereby helping to improve the heat dissipation performance of the compressor 340. Good heat dissipation performance is essential to ensure the stable operation of the compressor 340 in a high temperature environment.

[0079] In some embodiments, the second accommodating groove 202 may be gradually expanded from front to back, so that its cross section is trapezoidal. That is, the front end of the second accommodating groove 202 is narrower and the rear end is wider, which can facilitate technicians to disassemble and assemble the compressor 340 and the liquid storage tank 350.

[0080] In this embodiment, the compressor 340 may be a variable frequency compressor 340 , and the computer board in the electric control box 240 may be a variable frequency computer board.

[0081] As mentioned above, the computer board of traditional variable frequency air conditioners is usually larger than that of fixed frequency air conditioners, which has led to many air conditioners having to increase the front-to-back length or sacrifice the outdoor air intake performance to meet the installation requirements of the computer board. Increasing the front-to-back length of the air conditioner not only affects the appearance, but may also reduce the overall performance of the air conditioner, especially when the outdoor air intake is affected, the heat dissipation effect of the computer board will be greatly reduced.

[0082] The integrated air conditioner 10 provided in this embodiment can reduce the left-right and front-to-back dimensions of the whole machine by optimizing the relative position of the electric control box 240 in the whole machine without increasing the front-to-back length of the air conditioner 10. The electric control box 240 increases the heat dissipation area through the front partition 210 part, and uses condensed water for heat dissipation, ensuring that the electric control box 240 can still maintain good heat dissipation performance in a compact space.

[0083] The electric control box 240 and the compressor 340 are symmetrically placed on both sides of the front partition 210. This layout not only ensures that the weight of the whole machine is evenly distributed, but also helps to avoid electromagnetic interference. The symmetrical layout also optimizes space utilization, ensuring that both the electric control box 240 and the compressor 340 have sufficient installation space and heat dissipation space.

[0084] In addition, by installing the electric control box 240 on the rear side of the partition, the heat dissipation problem and space utilization problem caused by the large size of the electric control box 240 can be effectively solved. This design not only ensures that the outdoor air intake effect is not affected, but also meets the heat dissipation requirements of the electric control box 240.

[0085] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although multiple exemplary embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications that conform to the principles of the present invention can still be directly determined or derived from the contents disclosed in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should be understood and recognized as covering all such other variations or modifications.
