In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 The embodiment of the utility model provides an air conditioner outdoor unit cooling system, which is used for a refrigeration unit 100 and includes a water collection unit 200, a cooling unit 300, and a control unit 400.

[0018] The refrigeration unit 100 includes an indoor unit 101 for refrigeration and an outdoor unit 102 for heat exchange. In this embodiment, the indoor unit 101 is used for refrigeration, outputs cold air, and cools down the area where the indoor unit is located.

[0019] The water collection unit 200 includes a condensed water collection module 201 and a water collection module 202. The condensed water collection module 201 is used to collect condensed water generated during the operation of the refrigeration unit 100. The water collection module 202 is connected to the condensed water collection module 201 by water channels. The condensed water collected by the condensed water collection module 201 is transported to the water collection module 202 through water channels for storage. As a preferred embodiment, the condensed water collection module 201 is connected to the indoor unit 101 by water channels to collect condensed water generated when the indoor unit 101 is in operation.

[0020] The cooling unit 300 is connected to the water collection unit 200 by water, and the cooling unit 300 draws the water resources in the water collection unit 200 to spray and cool the refrigeration unit 100. As a preferred embodiment, the cooling unit 300 includes a spray module 301 and a flushing module 302. The spray module 301 is connected to the water collection module 202 by water, and draws the water resources of the water collection module 202 for atomization, spraying the water mist to the outdoor unit 102, reducing the air inlet temperature of the outdoor unit 102 and improving the heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit 102; the flushing module 302 is connected to the water collection module by water, and draws the water resources of the water collection module 202 to flush and remove dust from the outdoor unit 102, improving the ventilation and heat exchange efficiency of the outdoor unit 102. Specifically, the flushing module 302 flushes and removes dust from the condensing fins and fan blades of the outdoor unit 102.

[0021] The control unit 400 includes a central processing module 401, which is respectively connected to the water collection unit 200 and the cooling unit 300 in circuits, and controls the water collection unit 200 and the cooling unit 300 to perform water collection and cooling. As a preferred embodiment, the central processing module 401 is respectively connected to the condensed water collection module 201, the water collection module 202, the spray module 301, and the flushing module 302 in circuits, and controls the condensed water collection module 201, the spray module 301, and the flushing module 302 according to the control instructions preset in the central processing module 401.

[0022] Through the above implementation, the central processing module 401 controls the condensate collection module 201 to collect the condensate generated during the operation of the indoor unit 101, and transports it to the water collection module 202 for water storage. When the outdoor unit 102 needs to be cooled down, the central processing module 401 controls the spray module 301 to atomize the water resources in the water collection module 202, and sprays the atomized water mist to the air inlet of the outdoor unit 102 to achieve the cooling effect. When the outdoor unit 102 needs to be dusted, the central processing module 401 controls the flushing module 302 to retrieve the water resources in the water collection module 202 to flush and dust the outdoor unit 102. Specifically, the flushing module 302 flushes and dusts the condensing fins and fan blades of the outdoor unit 102 to improve the heat exchange efficiency of the condenser in the outdoor unit 102.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the cooling unit 100 also includes an inverting control module 103, which is electrically connected between the outdoor unit 102 and the central processing module 401, and cooperates with the flushing module 302 to perform inverting control on the motor of the outdoor unit 102 while flushing the outdoor unit 102, so that the motor of the outdoor unit 102 rotates in the opposite direction to form an airflow, thereby removing dust and garbage attached, adhered, and remaining on the outdoor unit 102, so that the outdoor unit 102 can be ventilated smoothly and the heat exchange efficiency can be improved.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the refrigeration unit 100 also includes a fresh air module 104, which is a functional element for providing low-temperature air to enter the area where the indoor unit 101 is located, so as to reduce the refrigeration power consumption of the indoor unit 101 and improve the refrigeration efficiency of the indoor unit 101. The cooling unit 300 also includes a spray module 303, which is circuit-connected to the central processing module 401, and the spray module 303 is water-connected to the water collection module 202. The central processing module 401 controls the spray module 303 to retrieve the water resources of the water collection module 202 to spray and flush the fresh air filter component in the fresh air module 104. During the operation of the fresh air module 104, the attachment or adhesion of garbage and dust in the fresh air module 104 is reduced, and the ventilation efficiency of the fresh air module is improved. Furthermore, spray flushing can reduce the temperature of the flowing air, and thus control and adjust the temperature and humidity of the area where the indoor unit 101 is located.

[0025] By adding a new fresh air module 104, the temperature of the area where the indoor unit 101 is located can be lowered, and the operating pressure of the indoor unit 101 can be reduced. At the same time, a new spray module 303 is added. The spray module 303 draws water resources from the water collection module 202 to spray the filter components in the fresh air module 104, which can enhance the operating efficiency of the fresh air module 104, enhance the cooling effect of the fresh air module 104, and adjust the air humidity in the area where the indoor unit 101 is located.

[0026] In the above embodiment, there is a situation where condensed water is not enough to meet the cooling work. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment, the water collection unit 200 also includes an air water intake module 203, and the air water intake module 203 is connected to the water collection module 202 by water. The air water intake module 203 collects moisture in the air to form water resources and transports them to the water collection module 202 for collection. As a preferred embodiment, the air water intake module 203 is connected to the central processing module 401 circuit, and the central processing module 401 controls the air water intake module 203 to supplement the water resources of the water collection module 202. When the water resources in the water collection module 202 are insufficient, the air water intake module 203 can be used to supplement the water resources of the water collection module 202.

[0027] The air water extraction module 203 refers to a module that uses solid adsorbents to absorb moisture, rotary adsorption and refrigeration dehumidification to condense water vapor in the air to form water resources. As a preferred embodiment, the air water extraction module 203 refers to a module that uses condensation in the air to make its temperature lower than the dew point temperature to precipitate the water vapor contained in the air to extract water.

[0028] By adding the air water intake module 203, when the condensed water collection module 201 does not collect enough condensed water, it can be used as an additional water increase method to supplement the water resources of the water collection module 202.

[0029] In the above-mentioned embodiment, there is a situation where water taken from the natural environment cannot meet the cooling work. Therefore, as a preferred embodiment, the water collection unit 200 also includes an active water intake module 204. The active water intake module 204 is a module for transferring water resources from other places. The active water intake module 204 is connected to the central processing module 401 circuit and the water collection module 202 water channel. When the condensate collection module 201 and the air water intake module 203 cannot meet the cooling demand, the central processing module 401 controls the external water source module 204 to transfer water resources to supplement the water collection module 202.

[0030] As a preferred embodiment, the active water intake module 204 is provided with a water treatment device so that the water resources formed by the active water intake module 204 meet the water quality requirements of the outdoor unit 102 and the fresh air module 104. The water treatment device includes a filtering component, a softening component, and a pure water component.

[0031] By adding an active water intake module 204, when the condensate collection module 201 and the air water intake module 203 cannot collect enough water resources, as a temporary water resource supplement method, when the outdoor unit 102 must be cooled, the water collection module 202 is supplemented with water resources.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, the control unit 400 further includes a power storage module 402, which is circuit-connected to the central processing module 401 for storing electricity and supplying power to the central processing module 401 in case of power shortage.

[0033] By adding the power storage module 402 , the central processing module 401 can be powered, thereby ensuring the power supply for the operation of the central processing module 401 .

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, the control unit 400 also includes a power generation module 403, which is a power generation device that uses natural energy such as photovoltaics and wind power to generate electricity, and is circuit-connected to the power storage module 403. The natural energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the power storage module 403.

[0035] By adding the power generation module 403, natural energy is converted into electrical energy and stored in the power storage module 402, green energy is used to reduce the power grid electricity consumption of the entire air-conditioning outdoor unit cooling system.

[0036] As a preferred embodiment, the control unit 400 also includes a wind energy recovery module 404, which is circuit-connected to the power storage module 402, and recovers wind energy generated when the outdoor unit 102 is running, converts it into electrical energy and stores it in the power storage module 402.

[0037] By adding the wind energy recovery module 404, the wind energy during the operation of the outdoor unit 102 is recovered and converted into electric energy to be stored in the power storage module 402, thereby reducing the grid power consumption of the entire air conditioner outdoor unit cooling system.

[0038] Through the above implementation, the central processing module 401 is powered from multiple aspects, thereby reducing the power consumption of the entire air-conditioning outdoor unit cooling system.

[0039] In order to perform cooling operation on the equipment more accurately, the control unit 400 also includes a device monitoring module 405, an external monitoring module 406 and a terminal module 407. The device monitoring module is connected to the central processing module 401 in a circuit to monitor the operation status of the outdoor unit 102. In this embodiment, the device monitoring module 405 monitors the parameters such as the inlet and outlet air temperature, inlet and outlet air humidity, fan load, and exhaust pressure of the outdoor unit 102; the external monitoring module 406 is connected to the central processing module 401 to monitor the external environmental conditions. In this embodiment, the external monitoring module 406 monitors the parameters such as the ambient temperature and ambient humidity and transmits them to the central processing module 401; the terminal module 407 is a user operation terminal, which is connected to the central processing module 401 in a circuit to display the current status and related storage data of the central processing module 401, and sends control instructions to the central processing module 401 through the terminal module 407. In this embodiment, the terminal module 407 is a user terminal including a cloud server function, specifically a mobile phone, a computer and other operable graphic devices.
