[0046] With the continuous development of battery energy storage technology, the energy density of battery clusters has gradually increased, which has put forward higher requirements for the thermal management of electrochemical energy storage. In this context, air-cooled air conditioners are favored by users due to their simple structure and easy installation.
[0047] However, in practical applications, air-cooled air conditioners face some limitations, such as customer installation size restrictions and poor use environment. In order to meet these requirements, the air-cooled air conditioner structure needs to ensure the compactness of the structure while meeting the thermal management effect, thereby bringing more possibilities for energy storage and utilization.
[0048] In view of this, an embodiment of the present application provides an air conditioner, which aims to use a partition mechanism to separate a body of an air-cooled unit air conditioner into a first chamber and a second chamber, thereby realizing the assembly and separation of the first heat exchange side and the first heat exchange side in one body to improve the compactness of the air conditioner.
[0049] The following is combined with Figure 1-10 The air conditioner provided in this embodiment is introduced.
[0050] Combined with Figure 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides an air conditioner 100, including functional components such as a body 10, a partition mechanism 20, a first fan assembly 30, a second fan assembly 40, a first heat exchanger 50, a second heat exchanger 60 and a compressor 70.
[0051] Among them, the body 10 of this embodiment includes a top wall 11, a bottom wall 12 and multiple side walls, the multiple side walls are connected between the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, the top wall 11, the bottom wall 12 and the multiple side walls form a accommodating cavity 17, and the material of the top wall 11, the bottom wall 12 and the side walls of this embodiment may include aluminum alloy, stainless steel and other materials containing metals and their alloys, or the material of the top wall 11, the bottom wall 12 and the side walls may include plastics with a certain structural strength.
[0052] In some examples, optionally, the top wall 11, the bottom wall 12 and the side walls can all be made of a frame and a panel mounted on the frame. The frames of two adjacent side walls are assembled and connected. After the frames are assembled, they enter the powder spraying room for spraying. The gaps in the assembly can be filled with spray powder, so that the entire frame is a sealed structure. The connection between the frame and the panel can be welding or riveting.
[0053] The partition mechanism 20 of this embodiment is located in the accommodating chamber 17, and divides the accommodating chamber 17 into a first chamber 171 and a second chamber 172. The first chamber 171 and the second chamber 172 are isolated from each other to improve air quality, increase energy efficiency, enhance control accuracy and reduce noise transmission.
[0054] It can be understood that the partition mechanism 20 in this embodiment may have only the first partition 21 described below. The shape of the first partition 21 may be approximately Z-shaped to facilitate the installation of the first fan assembly 30 and the first heat exchanger 50. It may also have multiple partitions as listed below, as long as it can achieve the separation of the accommodating cavity 17 and the installation of structures such as the first fan assembly 30 and the first heat exchanger 50.
[0055] In this embodiment, the first fan assembly 30 and the first heat exchanger 50 are located in the first chamber 171 to form a first heat exchange side, and the second fan assembly 40, the second heat exchanger 60 and the compressor 70 are located in the second chamber 172 to form a second heat exchange side. By assembling and separating the first heat exchange side and the second heat exchange side in one body 10, the structural compactness of the air conditioner 100 can be improved to a certain extent.
[0056] In some examples, optionally, the first heat exchange side of this embodiment is the indoor side, and the second heat exchange side is the outdoor side. The indoor side is used to face the outside of the space to be cooled (for example, the battery compartment inside the energy storage device), and the outdoor side is used to face the outside of the space to be cooled (for example, toward the outside of the energy storage device). At this time, the first heat exchanger 50 is an evaporator, and the second heat exchanger 60 is a condenser. Both the first heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 can be tube-fin heat exchangers.
[0057] The compressor 70 of this embodiment is connected to the first heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 through pipelines respectively. The air conditioner 100 of this embodiment also includes structures such as a throttling component and a distributor (not shown in the figure). The first heat exchanger 50 is connected to the second heat exchanger 60 through a throttling component (not shown in the figure), and the second heat exchanger 60 is connected to the distributor. The refrigerant can flow between the first heat exchanger 50, the second heat exchanger 60 and the compressor 70 to form a refrigerant circulation.
[0058] Two of the multiple side walls of the present embodiment are respectively a first side wall 13 and a second side wall 14 arranged opposite to each other in a first direction, the first side wall 13 is used to face the inside of the space to be cooled, and the second side wall 14 faces outside the space to be cooled, the first side wall 13 is provided with a first air inlet structure 131 and a first air outlet structure 132, the second side wall 14 is provided with a second air inlet structure 141 and a second air outlet structure 142, and the above-mentioned air inlet structure and air outlet structure can both be grille-shaped.
[0059] Combined with Figure 1 and attached Figure 2As shown, taking the air conditioner 100 under cooling conditions as an example, under the action of the second fan assembly 40, the second air inlet structure 141 takes in air, and the second air outlet structure 142 discharges air to take away the heat on the second heat exchanger 60. Under the action of the first fan assembly 30, the first air inlet structure 131 of the first side wall 13 takes in air, and the first air outlet structure 132 discharges air to blow the cold air cooled by the first heat exchanger 50 into the space to be cooled.
[0060] In some examples, optionally, in addition to the above-mentioned first side wall 13 and second side wall 14, the multiple side walls of this embodiment also include a third side wall 15 and a fourth side wall 16 relatively arranged along a second direction Y, and the first direction and the second direction Y are both perpendicular to the arrangement direction of the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction Y.
[0061] The partition mechanism 20 of this embodiment includes a second partition 22 and a first partition 21 arranged in sequence along a first direction, wherein the second partition 22 can be parallel to the top wall 11 and the bottom wall 12, and one end of the second partition 22 along the first direction is connected to the first side wall 13, and the connection method can be welding, riveting, etc., and the other end of the second partition 22 along the first direction X is spaced from the second side wall 14.
[0062] Furthermore, there is a certain interval between the second partition 22 of this embodiment and the bottom wall 12, and the second partition 22 is located in the lower middle part of the body 10, so that there is a certain space under the second partition 22 to facilitate the installation of the compressor 70 and the second fan assembly 40 of this embodiment.
[0063] The first partition 21 of this embodiment is located between the second partition 22 and the top wall 11, the bottom end of the first partition 21 (the end close to the bottom wall 12) is connected to the other end of the second partition 22, and the top end of the first partition 21 (the end close to the top wall 11) is connected to the second side wall 14.
[0064] The top wall 11, the first partition plate 21, the second partition plate 22, the first side wall 13, the third side wall 15 and the fourth side wall 16 of this embodiment form the above-mentioned first chamber 171. The first partition plate 21, the second side wall 14, the third side wall 15, the fourth side wall 16 and the bottom wall 12 of this embodiment form the above-mentioned second chamber 172. The volume of the first chamber 171 can be smaller than that of the second chamber 172 to facilitate the installation of the compressor 70 in the second chamber 172.
[0065] In some examples, optionally, the first direction X is a thickness direction of the body 10 , and the second direction Y is a width direction of the body 10 .
[0066] That is to say, the partition mechanism 20 divides the body 10 of this embodiment into two chambers along the thickness direction, and the first heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 are respectively located in two regions in the thickness direction of the body 10, thereby optimizing the cooling space of the first heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 60 in the thickness direction.
[0067] In some examples, optionally, the first partition 21 of the present embodiment is obliquely disposed in the accommodating cavity 17, and from the top end to the bottom end of the first partition 21, the distance between the first partition 21 and the first side wall 13 in the first direction X gradually decreases, and the distance between the first partition 21 and the second side wall 14 in the first direction X gradually increases.
[0068] This structural design makes the upper space of the first chamber 171 larger, so that the first fan assembly 30 can be installed in the upper part of the first chamber 171, and the first heat exchanger 50 with a smaller thickness can be installed in the middle and lower part of the first chamber 171. Moreover, this structure makes the space of the second chamber 172 gradually increase from top to bottom, so that the second heat exchanger 60 with a smaller thickness can be installed in the middle and upper part of the second chamber 172, and the second fan assembly 40 and the compressor 70 with a larger volume can be installed in the lower part of the second chamber 172, which can further improve the compactness of the structure of the body 10.
[0069] In some examples, optionally, the first heat exchanger 50 of the present embodiment is installed on the first side wall 13, and a certain distance can be provided between at least a portion of the first heat exchanger 50 of the present embodiment and the first partition 21 to reduce the possibility of heat from the first heat exchanger 50 being transferred to the second chamber 172 through the first partition 21.
[0070] Similarly, the second heat exchanger 60 of this embodiment is installed on the second side wall 14, and there may be a certain distance between at least a portion of the second heat exchanger 60 of this embodiment and the first partition 21 to reduce the possibility of heat transfer between the second heat exchanger 60 and the first chamber 171 through the first partition 21.
[0071] The second fan assembly 40 and the compressor 70 of this embodiment are located between the partition mechanism 20 and the bottom wall 12. Specifically, the second fan assembly 40 and the compressor 70 are both located below the second partition 22 and the first partition 21 of this embodiment. Since the above-mentioned first partition 21 is inclined, the lower space of the second chamber 172 is larger, thereby being able to meet the installation space requirements of the second fan assembly 40 and the compressor 70.
[0072] Combined with Figure 5 and attached Figure 6As shown, in some examples, optionally, the partition mechanism 20 of the present embodiment further includes a third partition 23, the third partition 23 is located between the first partition 21 and the top wall 11, and divides the first chamber 171 into a first sub-cavity 1711 and a second sub-cavity 1712, along the direction from the top wall 11 to the bottom wall 12 (i.e., the direction from bottom to top in the figure), the first sub-cavity 1711 and the second sub-cavity 1712 of the present embodiment are arranged in sequence, and the first sub-cavity 1711 and the second sub-cavity 1712 are connected through the ventilation hole 231 on the third partition 23, the first fan assembly 30 is located in the first sub-cavity 1711, and is located on the ventilation hole 231, and the first fan assembly 30 and the second fan assembly 40 can both be centrifugal fans.
[0073] The above-mentioned first air outlet structure 132 is arranged on the area corresponding to the first side wall 13 and the first sub-cavity 1711, and the first air inlet structure 131 is arranged on the area corresponding to the first side wall 13 and the second sub-cavity 1712, so that the first fan assembly 30 can drive air from the first air inlet structure 131 into the second sub-cavity 1712, and then be discharged from the first air outlet structure 132 corresponding to the first sub-cavity 1711.
[0074] The top end of the first partition plate 21 of this embodiment is connected to the second side wall 14 through the third partition plate 23, and there is a gap between the top end of the first partition plate 21 and the second side wall 14 to accommodate the top of the second heat exchanger 60 of this embodiment.
[0075] Combined with Figure 6 and 7 In some examples shown, optionally, the first partition plate 21 is provided with a through hole 211 for the connecting pipeline 61 to pass through. It should be noted that: Figure 7 Except for the part through which the connecting pipe 61 passes, the other parts of the through hole 211 have been sealed by the cover plate 212. The number of the through holes 211 can be one or more, and the shape of the through holes 211 can be approximately rectangular or circular, etc. The size and shape of the through holes 211 can match the insulation structure 62 described below, or the shape and size of part of the through holes 211 match the insulation structure 62 described below, and the other part is used to install the cover plate 212. The connecting pipe 61 passing through the through hole 211 can include a pipe connecting the first heat exchanger 50 and the second heat exchanger 60, and can also include a pipe connecting the second heat exchanger 60 and the compressor 70. This embodiment does not impose too many restrictions on this.
[0076] In some examples, optionally, the connecting pipeline 61 of this embodiment is also wrapped with an insulation structure 62, and the insulation structure 62 is sealed with the through hole 211. The insulation structure 62 can be an insulation layer wrapped on the pipeline, or it can be an insulation pipeline. The insulation layer and the insulation pipeline can be made of insulation materials, and the insulation materials can be selected from mineral wool, polystyrene foam (EPS), polyurethane foam (PUR), silicate insulation materials and rigid polyurethane foam (PIR), etc., which are not listed one by one in this embodiment.
[0077] Combined with the attachment again Figure 5 As shown, in some examples, optionally, the air conditioner 100 of this embodiment further includes a control component 80, which is at least partially located in the second sub-cavity 1712 and installed on the first heat exchanger 50. The control component 80 is located in the first chamber 171 and is located on the indoor side. It is isolated from the second chamber 172 on the outdoor side by the first partition 21, thereby ensuring a waterproof and dustproof effect.
[0078] The control assembly 80 of this embodiment can be connected to the functional components such as the first fan assembly 30, the first fan assembly 30, the first heat exchanger 50, the second heat exchanger 60 and the compressor 70 to control the opening and closing and operating parameters of the above functional components. The control assembly 80 may include a first box body 81 and a control circuit board 83 installed inside the first box body 81. In addition, the control assembly 80 also includes a second box body 82 located outside the second partition 22. The first box body 81 and the second box body 82 are connected by bolts, anchors and other components to form an electric control box structure.
[0079] Based on the above-mentioned inclined first partition 21, the upper space of the first chamber 171 is larger. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control component 80 is directly installed on the first heat exchanger 50, and there is no need to configure a mounting structure for the control component 80, thereby saving installation space and making full use of the height direction space of the first chamber 171.
