Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of air conditioners, and in particular relates to an all-in-one air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] In the summer in the south, the temperature is high and the humidity is high. A large amount of condensed water is generated during the cooling of the air conditioner in the data center. If it is discharged directly, this part of the latent heat and cooling capacity will be wasted. If the condensed water can be reused, such as collecting it to cool the condenser, it can achieve the effect of saving both water and energy. However, in actual applications, the condenser is usually located outdoors, and it is difficult to reuse the condensed water generated by the indoor unit. However, for the all-in-one air conditioner placed in the server, the evaporator and the condenser are very close. At this time, it is very easy to collect the condensed water generated by the evaporator and cool the condenser. Therefore, for this kind of all-in-one air conditioner, the condensed water can be reused to achieve the effect of saving water and energy. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide an all-in-one air conditioner which can reuse condensed water to achieve water-saving and energy-saving effects.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the utility model is:
[0005] An all-in-one air conditioner, comprising:
[0006] shell;
[0007] an evaporator mounted in the housing;
[0008] a condenser assembly mounted within the housing;
[0009] The condensed water recycling component includes an evaporator water pan, a condenser water pan and a spraying device, wherein the evaporator water pan and the condenser water pan are respectively arranged below the evaporator and the condenser components, the evaporator water pan, the condenser water pan and the spraying device are sequentially connected together, and the output end of the spraying device is arranged to spray water toward the condenser component. The all-in-one air conditioner can collect the condensed water generated by the evaporator, and spray the collected condensed water toward the condenser component through the spraying device, and cool the condenser component by spraying the condensed water, and the unused condensed water falls into the condenser water pan under the action of gravity, and is then recycled.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a power device, the output end of the power device is connected with the input end of the spraying device. By setting up the power device, the automation level of the air conditioner can be improved.
[0011] Furthermore, the power device is arranged to be located outside the condenser water pan. The power device is arranged outside the condenser water pan, which has the advantages of convenient maintenance, extended service life, easy replacement, and convenient cleaning.
[0012] Furthermore, the condenser assembly includes a first condenser and a second condenser, and the output end of the spraying device is directed toward the first condenser and / or the second condenser. The spraying device is directed directly toward the first condenser and / or the second condenser to fully wet the first condenser and / or the second condenser, and fully utilizes the condensed water to cool the first condenser and / or the second condenser assembly.
[0013] Furthermore, the first condenser and the second condenser are arranged crosswise together. Condensate sprayed onto the surface of the first condenser will flow along the junction of the first condenser and the second condenser to the surface of the second condenser, providing a larger coverage area with a smaller number of the spraying devices.
[0014] Furthermore, an angle is provided between the first condenser and the second condenser, and the angle is an obtuse angle.

[0017] Furthermore, the condenser water pan is provided with an overflow hole for preventing overflow. When there is a lot of condensed water in the condenser water pan, it will overflow and be discharged from the overflow hole.
[0018] Furthermore, a partition is included, which divides the internal space of the shell into two compartments, the upper compartment is equipped with the evaporator, and the lower compartment is equipped with the condenser assembly. This arrangement facilitates the condensed water in the evaporator water pan to flow into the condenser water pan under its own gravity.
[0019] Furthermore, it also includes:
[0020] A first sensor, used to obtain the water level of the condenser water pan;
[0021] The controller is used to control the spraying device to spray water toward the condenser assembly when the water level is within a preset range.

[0024] a second sensor, for obtaining a condensing temperature of the condenser assembly;
[0025] The controller is used to control the spraying device to spray water to the condenser assembly when the water level and the condensing temperature are both within a preset range. This arrangement can improve the automation level of the air conditioner.
[0026] Beneficial effects of the utility model:
[0027] The all-in-one air conditioner can collect condensed water generated by the evaporator, and spray the collected condensed water toward the condenser assembly through a spraying device, so as to cool the condenser assembly by spraying the condensed water, and the unused condensed water falls into the condenser water pan under the action of gravity, and is then recycled and reused.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , is a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the integrated air conditioner comprises: a housing 100; an evaporator 200, installed in the housing 100; a condenser assembly 300, installed in the housing 100; a condensed water recycling assembly 500, comprising an evaporator water pan 510, a condenser water pan 520 and a spraying device 540, the evaporator water pan 510 and the condenser water pan 520 are respectively arranged below the evaporator 200 and the condenser assembly 300, the evaporator water pan 510, the condenser water pan 520 and the spraying device 540 are sequentially connected together, and the output end of the spraying device 540 is arranged to spray water toward the condenser assembly 300. The integrated air conditioner is suitable for scenes such as cabinet air conditioners, window units, outdoor cabinet air conditioners, and base station air conditioners.
[0041] The integrated air conditioner can collect condensed water generated by the evaporator 200, and spray the collected condensed water toward the condenser assembly 300 through the spraying device 540, thereby cooling the condenser assembly 300 by spraying the condensed water. The integrated air conditioner achieves both water saving and energy saving by reusing condensed water.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present application, the integrated air conditioner mainly includes a housing 100, an evaporator 200, a condenser assembly 300, a partition 400 and a condensed water recycling assembly 500. The above components are further described in detail below.
[0043] The housing 100 is generally in the shape of a rectangular box, and a horizontally installed partition 400 is provided inside, and the partition 400 is fixedly installed between the evaporator 200 and the condenser assembly 300. Specifically, the partition 400 divides the internal space of the housing 100 into two compartments, the upper compartment is used to install the evaporator 200, and the lower compartment is used to install the condenser assembly 300. Such a configuration facilitates the condensed water in the evaporator water pan 510 to flow into the condenser water pan 520 under the action of its own gravity.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present application, the condensed water recycling assembly 500 includes an evaporator water pan 510 , a condenser water pan 520 , a power device 530 , a spray device 540 , an evaporator water pipe 550 and a condenser water pipe 560 .
[0045] The evaporator water pan 510 is in a pan or box shape and is disposed below the evaporator 200 . Condensed water generated when air passes through the evaporator 200 is collected by the evaporator water pan 510 .
[0046] The input end of the evaporator water pipe 550 is connected to the evaporator water pan 510, and the output end of the evaporator water pipe 550 is connected to the input end of the condenser water pan 520. The condensed water collected by the evaporator water pan 510 is collected into the condenser water pan 520 through the evaporator water pipe 550. In one embodiment of the present application, the condenser water pan 520 is provided with an overflow hole (not shown in the figure) for preventing overflow. When there is a lot of condensed water in the condenser water pan 520, it will overflow and be discharged from the overflow hole.
[0047] The input end of the condenser water pipe 560 is connected to the output end of the power device 530, and the output end of the condenser water pipe 560 is connected to the input end of the spray device 540. The power device 530 provides power to spray condensed water to the condenser assembly 300 through the condenser water pipe 560 and the spray device 540, and the unused condensed water falls into the condenser water pan 520 under the action of gravity and is recycled.
[0048] In one embodiment of the present application, the power device 530 is a water pump. The water pump can be installed inside the condenser water pan 520 or outside the condenser water pan 520. The water pump is arranged outside the condenser water pan 520, which has the advantages of convenient maintenance, extended water pump life, easy replacement, and easy cleaning.
[0049] The output end of the spraying device 540 is configured to spray water toward the condenser assembly 300. In one embodiment of the present application, the spraying device 540 is a spray head. The area and quantity sprayed by the spraying device 540 can be determined according to actual conditions. Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment of the present application, the coverage area of the spray device 540 is the entire condenser assembly 300, and two spray devices 540 are provided, and the two spray devices 540 are arranged in parallel.
[0050] Specifically, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the condenser assembly 300 includes a first condenser 310 and a second condenser 320. The output end of the spray device 540 faces the first condenser 310 and / or the second condenser 320. In one embodiment of the present application, the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320 are arranged crosswise together. An angle A is provided between the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320, and the angle A is an obtuse angle. For example, the first condenser 310 is arranged vertically, the second condenser 320 is arranged downwardly inclined, and the output end of the spray device 540 is arranged to face the first condenser 310. The condensed water sprayed on the surface of the first condenser 310 will flow to the surface of the second condenser 320 along the junction of the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320, providing a larger coverage area under the premise of a small number of the spray devices 540.
[0051] In order to collect the condensed water flowing down from the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320, the condenser water pan 520 should be arranged directly below the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320, and extend from directly below the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320 in a direction inclined toward the second condenser 320.
[0052] Of course, it is understandable that the present application does not limit the number, layout and specific structure of the specific condensers included in the condenser assembly 300. The specific structures of the evaporator 200, the first condenser 310 and the second condenser 320 are prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, in order to improve the automation level of the integrated air conditioner, the integrated air conditioner further includes a first sensor and a controller. The first sensor may be a water level sensor for obtaining the water level of the condenser water pan 520. The controller is used to control the spraying device 540 to spray water to the condenser assembly 300 when the water level is within a preset range. The preset range is between the running action point and the stopping action point of the power device 530. That is, the first sensor obtains the water level of the condenser water pan 520. When the water level of the condenser water pan 520 reaches the running action point of the power device 530, the power device 530 starts to run and controls the spraying device 540 to spray water to the condenser assembly 300; when the water level of the condenser water pan 520 is lower than the stopping action point of the power device 530, the power device 530 stops running and controls the spraying device 540 to stop spraying water to the condenser assembly 300.
[0054] In another embodiment of the present application, the integrated air conditioner further includes a first sensor, a second sensor and a controller. The first sensor may be a water level sensor for obtaining the water level of the condenser water pan 520. The second sensor may be a temperature sensor for obtaining the condensing temperature of the condenser assembly 300. The controller is used to control the spraying device 540 to spray water to the condenser assembly 300 when both the water level and the condensing temperature are within a preset range. The preset range of the water level is between the running action point and the stopping action point of the power device 530. The preset range of the condensing temperature is a certain temperature value on the surface or inside of the condenser assembly 300. That is, the first sensor obtains the water level of the condenser water pan 520, and the second sensor obtains the condensing temperature of the condenser assembly 300. When the water level of the condenser water pan 520 reaches the operating point of the power device 530, and the condensing temperature of the condenser assembly 300 is higher than the preset range of the condensing temperature, the power device 530 starts to operate and controls the spraying device 540 to spray water to the condenser assembly 300; otherwise, the power device 530 stops operating and controls the spraying device 540 to stop spraying water to the condenser assembly 300. In this way, the power resources for starting the spraying device 540 can be saved, and the spraying device 540 is started only when the temperature of the condenser assembly 300 is high.
[0055] The controller is electrically connected to other components of the aforementioned air conditioner and controls each component. The controller is composed of a mature hardware structure in the prior art and is loaded with a computer program compiled according to the method of the present invention, or the relevant computer program is directly fixed in the hardware.
[0056] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, many changes can be made in the specific implementation methods and application scopes based on the ideas of the present invention. As long as these changes do not deviate from the concept of the present invention, they all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
