Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of condensed water recovery, and specifically provides a condensed water recovery device, an air conditioning system and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] RV air conditioners are air conditioning systems designed specifically for mobile homes such as RVs, with the goal of providing users with a comfortable in-vehicle environment. Taking factors such as space, weight, and energy efficiency into consideration, RV air conditioning systems need to consider the layout of the installation space to ensure that the air conditioning system can be installed and arranged within a limited space.

[0003] In some related technologies, the air conditioning system of a motorhome generally adopts a split design, in which the indoor unit and the outdoor unit are installed separately, and the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is installed on the roof. However, the condensed water generated by the air conditioner during the cooling process will be directly discharged on the roof. If the condensed water is discharged directly on the roof for a long time, it may cause corrosion of the body parts and damage the appearance and structure of the vehicle. Furthermore, when there is a lot of condensed water, the condensed water will drip from the roof along the car body, making the user experience worse. In addition, discharging condensed water will cause a waste of water resources and is not conducive to environmental protection.

[0004] In view of this, the art needs a new condensate water recovery solution for RV air conditioners to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 1 The utility model provides a condensed water recovery device, which includes a first liquid storage tank 1. The first liquid storage tank 1 is mainly used to recover condensed water generated by the operation of an air-conditioning system 9.

[0038] Furthermore, the box body is provided with two independent first chambers 11 and second chambers 12, that is, the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 are not connected. With this design, the user can recycle the condensed water more flexibly according to the specific situation.

[0039] This method of separately treating condensed water allows the recovery device to use water resources more effectively and improve the utilization rate of water resources. At the same time, it protects the environment and reduces the negative impact of condensed water on the surrounding environment.

[0040] The first chamber 11 is connected to the condensate drain port 4 through the first pipe 2, and the second chamber 12 is connected to the condensate drain port 4 through the second pipe 3. The specific form of the connection can be through an intermediate storage or through a three-way pipe.

[0041] Specifically, if an intermediate storage is used, the intermediate storage may be an additional container or device to transfer the condensed water, and then transport the condensed water to the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 respectively.

[0042] If a three-way pipe is used, the condensed water can be respectively guided into the first chamber 11 and the second chamber 12 through the branching and converging of the pipes.

[0043] Furthermore, different types of filter components are provided in the first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3 to achieve treatment of different water quality standards.

[0044] Specifically, a coarse filter assembly 20 is connected to the first pipeline 2 to filter larger particles and impurities in the condensed water. The coarse filter assembly 20 can be in the form of, but not limited to, a filter screen or a sand filter layer. The condensed water treated by the coarse filter assembly 20 is stored in the first chamber 11, and the water in the first chamber 11 can be used as domestic water, such as for daily needs such as washing and flushing.

[0045] The second pipeline 3 is connected with a fine filter assembly 30 for filtering and treating the condensed water in a more refined manner. For example, tiny suspended solids, microorganisms, odors and harmful substances in the water are removed. The fine filter assembly 30 may be in the form of, but not limited to, a microporous filter membrane and an activated carbon filter element. The condensed water treated by the fine filter assembly 30 reaches a higher purification standard and can be used as drinking water for users.

[0046] In a preferred embodiment, an ultraviolet sterilizer is also provided in the second pipeline 3 to kill microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses in the water by ultraviolet irradiation, thereby achieving a safe disinfection effect.

[0047] In summary, this structural design of separate treatment according to different treatment requirements and water quality standards ensures that the treated condensate meets the respective water quality standards for different purposes and can be used safely and reliably.

[0048] In one embodiment, a first control valve 21 and a first pump body 22 are also connected in the first pipeline 2, and the first control valve 21 and the first pump body 22 are both communicatively connected to the controller, so that the controller can monitor the operating status of the first pipeline 2 in real time, and realize the on and off of the first pipeline 2 by controlling the opening and closing of the first control valve 21, and control the operation of the first pump body 22 to transport the condensed water in the first pipeline 2 to the first chamber 11.

[0049] Similar to the structure of the first pipeline 2, the second pipeline 3 is also connected with a second control valve 31 and a second pump body 32. The second control valve 31 and the second pump body 32 are both communicatively connected to the controller, so that the controller can monitor the operating status of the second pipeline 3 in real time, and realize the on and off of the second pipeline 3 by controlling the opening and closing of the second control valve 31, and control the operation of the second pump body 32 to transport the condensed water in the second pipeline 3 to the second chamber 12.

[0050] In this embodiment, by communicating and connecting the first control valve 21, the first pump body 22, the second control valve 31 and the second pump body 32 with the controller, intelligent monitoring and regulation of the condensate treatment process can be achieved.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first control valve 21 and the second control valve 31 are preferably solenoid valves.

[0052] Furthermore, the condensate recovery device provided in this embodiment also includes a control panel 8, and a human-machine interface is provided on the control panel 8. Through the human-machine interface, the user can conveniently operate various functions of the recovery device, such as starting and stopping the pump body, opening and closing the control valve, and monitoring the operating status of the system.

[0053] Furthermore, the user can also control the on / off of the first pipeline 2 or the second pipeline 3 according to actual usage requirements to control the amount of condensed water converted into domestic water or drinking water.

[0054] Specifically, when the user needs to convert the condensed water into domestic water, the first pipeline 2 can be opened to allow the condensed water to be transported to the first chamber 11 through the first pump body 22 for subsequent processing and use. Conversely, when the user needs to convert the condensed water into drinking water, the second pipeline 3 can be opened to allow the condensed water to be transported to the second chamber 12 through the second pump body 32 for drinking by the user.

[0055] In this way, by flexibly controlling the on-off mode of the first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3, the user can adjust the utilization mode of the condensed water according to actual needs, so as to achieve the purpose of saving resources and improving utilization efficiency.

[0056] In one embodiment, the recovery device further includes a second liquid storage tank 5, which is disposed between the drain port 4 and the water inlet ends of the first pipeline 2 and the second pipeline 3. The second liquid storage tank 5 is directly connected to the drain port 4, so that the condensed water directly enters the second liquid storage tank 5 for collection after being discharged, and is then processed or utilized by the user according to actual conditions when needed.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the second liquid storage tank 5 is located lower than the drain port 4. Since the second liquid storage tank 5 is located lower, the condensed water will naturally flow to a lower place after being discharged, so it can more easily enter the second liquid storage tank 5, avoiding the problem that the condensed water cannot be smoothly collected because the drain port 4 is located higher than the liquid storage tank.

[0058] Such a structural design is simpler and more direct, and can prevent condensed water from being discharged or dripping outside the recovery device, thereby reducing the negative impact of condensed water on the surrounding environment.

[0059] In one embodiment, the recovery device also includes a liquid level monitoring element, which is disposed in the second liquid storage tank 5. The controller is also communicated with the liquid level monitoring element. The controller selectively controls the operation of the first pump body 22 and / or the second pump body 32 according to the detection value of the liquid level monitoring element to transport the condensed water in the second liquid storage tank 5 to the first liquid storage tank 1 to prevent the condensed water from overflowing from the second liquid storage tank 5.

[0060] Specifically, when the liquid level in the second liquid storage tank 5 is too high, the recovery device will automatically start the corresponding pump to transport the condensed water to the first liquid storage tank 1 to avoid overflow or pollution to the environment. This automated control method can ensure the stability and efficiency of the recovery device, reduce human intervention, and improve the automation level and reliability of the system.

[0061] In one embodiment, the recovery device further includes a third liquid storage tank 6, which is connected between the first liquid storage tank 1 and the second liquid storage tank 5, and is mainly used to provide a storage space for the filter assembly.

[0062] Specifically, the third liquid storage tank 6 includes a third chamber 61 and a fourth chamber 62 which are independent of each other. The third chamber 61 is connected to the first pipeline 2, and the fourth chamber 62 is connected to the second pipeline 3. The coarse filter component 20 is disposed in the third chamber 61, and the fine filter component 30 is disposed in the fourth chamber 62.

[0063] In addition, when the condensed water flows through the third liquid storage tank 6, since an independent chamber is provided inside the third liquid storage tank 6, and a coarse filter component 20 and a fine filter component 30 are accommodated in the chamber, this structure can buffer and adjust the flow and pressure of the condensed water to a certain extent, so as to reduce the impact of the water flow and pressure fluctuations, making the condensed water delivery more stable and controllable.

[0064] In one embodiment, the water outlet of the first chamber 11 is not only connected to the first water outlet pipe 71, but also the condensed water stored in the first chamber 11 can flow out through the first water outlet pipe 71. At the same time, a first heating device is provided in the first water outlet pipe 71, and the temperature of the condensed water can be increased through the heating treatment of the first heating device, thereby improving the comfort of water utilization and the user's experience.

[0065] Similarly, the water outlet of the second chamber 12 is also connected to a second water outlet pipe 72, and the condensed water stored in the second chamber 12 can flow out through the second water outlet pipe 72. At the same time, the temperature of the condensed water can be increased through the heating treatment of the second heating device, which can also improve the comfort of water use and the user's experience.

[0066] Furthermore, the user can adjust the working temperature of the first heating device and the second heating device by inputting the required heating temperature value on the control panel 8 according to actual needs. This temperature setting function enables the user to control the working state of the heating device more conveniently and flexibly, thereby making the recycling device more intelligent.

[0067] The utility model also provides an air conditioning system 9, which includes the condensed water recovery device described above. Since the condensed water recovery device has the above-mentioned characteristics and advantages, the condensed water recovery device of the air conditioning system 9 realizes the rational use of condensed water through the structural design of partitioned recovery and treatment, which not only protects the environment but also saves water resources. This design is also conducive to environmental protection and sustainable development.

[0068] In an embodiment of the utility model, a vehicle is also provided, the vehicle comprising the above-described air conditioning system 9. Since the above-described air conditioning system 9 has the above-described features and advantages, the vehicle using the air conditioning system 9 also has these features and advantages.

[0069] By using this air conditioning system 9, the vehicle can achieve more efficient condensed water recovery and utilization, thereby improving resource utilization efficiency and reducing negative impacts on the environment. This system can also intelligently adjust the heating temperature according to user needs, which can not only improve the user experience, but also enhance the competitiveness of the vehicle in the market. This design that combines advanced technology and environmental protection concepts gives the vehicle certain advantages in performance, comfort and environmental protection, providing users with a more attractive choice.

[0070] So far, the technical solution of the present invention has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the present invention is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
