Description

Technical Field

[0002] As people's requirements for indoor air quality are getting higher and higher, many air conditioners will integrate fresh air function and exhaust function, and use valves to open or close the air flow channel in different states.

Especially for the exhaust state, the longer air flow channel will lead to large air volume attenuation during the air flow discharge process, which will make the exhaust efficiency low, or require the fan to have a larger operating power, resulting in increased cost and energy consumption.

[0048] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0049] It should be noted that if the embodiments of the present invention involve directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...), the directional indications are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components in a certain specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0050] In addition, if there are descriptions involving "first", "second", etc. in the embodiments of the utility model, the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features limited to "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of the features. In addition, if "and / or", "and / or" or "and / or" appears in the full text, its meaning includes three parallel schemes. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes scheme A, or scheme B, or a scheme that satisfies both A and B. In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the utility model.

[0051] As people's requirements for indoor air quality are getting higher and higher, many air conditioners will integrate fresh air function and exhaust function, and manage the opening or closing of air flow channels in different states through valves. However, the direction of the air flow channel of the fresh air exhaust air conditioner in the related art needs to adapt to the setting position of each component, especially the structure and position of the valve must be considered, so it is difficult to simultaneously achieve the requirements of short air flow channel and compact structure. Especially for the exhaust state, a long air flow channel will lead to a large air volume attenuation during the air flow discharge process, thereby making the exhaust efficiency low, or requiring a larger operating power for the fan, resulting in increased cost and energy consumption. More specifically, in the related art, the valve is often set downstream of the fan, and the setting of the air flow channel from the fan to the exhaust port needs to take into account the fan's air outlet structure and the valve structure, making the design difficult. Therefore, when designing the air flow channel in this part, it is often necessary to bypass the fan outlet for a long distance, pass through a separately designed opening and closing valve structure, and then reach the exhaust port. It can be seen that this type of setting makes the air flow channel longer and the discharge effect is not good.

[0052] In view of this, see Figure 1-Figure 11In an embodiment of the utility model, an air treatment module 100 is provided, which is used to make the airflow in the first area and the airflow in the second area circulate with each other. Specifically, in one embodiment, the first area may be outdoors, and the second area may be indoors; in another embodiment, in one embodiment, the first area may be indoors, and the second area may be outdoors; in another embodiment, the first area may be a room indoors, and the second area may be another room indoors. For ease of description, the following description is based on the example that the first area is outdoors and the second area is indoors. It should be noted that in some embodiments, the air treatment module 100 can be used only to drive the airflow to form a ventilation effect or to process the airflow; in other embodiments, the air treatment module 100 can also be used for temperature adjustment, that is, the airflow can be cooled or heated.

[0053] The air treatment module 100 includes a housing 110, an air supply assembly 120 and a first valve 130. Figure 1-Figure 5 The housing 110 includes a shell 111 and a partition 112 disposed in the shell 111, and the partition 112 separates a first chamber 113 and a second chamber 114 in the shell 111. It can be understood that the shell 111 is the main structure of the shell 111 and has an internal space, and the partition 112 disposed in the shell 111 divides the internal space into a first chamber 113 and a second chamber 114. Among them, the shapes of the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114 can be determined according to needs and are not limited here. Based on this, the shell 111 can have a first opening 1111 and a second opening 1112, the first opening 1111 can connect the first area with the first chamber 113, and the second opening 1112 can connect the second area with the second chamber 114. In other words, the plane where the first opening 1111 is located is located between the first area and the first chamber 113, and the plane where the second opening 1112 is located is located between the second area and the second chamber 114. The housing 111 defines an air passage 1131 in communication with the first opening 1111 in the first chamber 113. It is understandable that the air passage 1131 is a portion of the first chamber 113 suitable for air flow when the air treatment module 100 is in operation. Therefore, according to different air flow guide settings, the air passage 1131 may be a portion of the first chamber 113, or the entire area of ​​the first chamber 113 may be the air passage 1131.

[0054] See also Figure 1-Figure 5, the partition 112 is provided with a third opening 1121 connecting the second chamber 114 and the airway 1131. As a result, the airflow can pass through the third opening 1121 and flow between the second chamber 114 and the airway 1131. Among them, the position of the third opening 1121 on the partition 112 can be determined according to needs and is not limited here. Based on the setting of the third opening 1121, the first valve 130 is configured to be able to open or close the third opening 1121. Specifically, the first valve 130 can cover the third opening 1121 by blocking, thereby closing the third opening 1121; on the contrary, the first valve 130 can open the third opening 1121 by not blocking the third opening 1121, or partially blocking the third opening 1121. The first valve 130 can also be driven to different positions by any suitable control method to open or close the third opening 1121, for example, see Figure 10-11 , the movement form of the first valve 130 can be a translational movement; in addition, see Figure 8-Figure 9 The movement of the first valve 130 may also be a rotational movement.

[0055] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 , the air supply component 120 is arranged in the second chamber 114, and the air supply component 120 is used to drive the airflow. According to the above functions, the air supply component 120 can be a wind turbine, and in order to make the flow direction of the airflow more stable, the second chamber 114 can also include an air supply channel for guiding the airflow and providing airflow flow. In some embodiments, the air supply channel can be defined by the housing 111 (or defined by the housing 111 and the air supply component 120); in other embodiments, the air supply channel can be defined by the air supply component 120, that is, the channel formed by the air supply component 120 itself. For ease of description, the following is an embodiment in which the outer peripheral wall of the air supply component 120 and the inner peripheral wall of the housing 111 jointly define the air supply channel so that the air supply component 120 can transport the airflow along the air supply channel.

[0056] According to the combination of the above embodiments, it can be seen that the air treatment module 100 of the utility model includes a shell 110, an air supply assembly 120 and a first valve 130. The shell 110 includes a shell 111 and a partition 112 arranged in the shell 111, the partition 112 separates a first chamber 113 and a second chamber 114 in the shell 111, and the shell 111 has a first opening 1111 and a second opening 1112, the first opening 1111 connects the first area with the first chamber 113, and the second opening 1112 connects the second area with the second chamber 114. The first valve 130 is configured to open or close the third opening 1121. Through the above arrangement, the partition 112 separates the adjacent first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114, and the first chamber 113 defines an air passage 1131 for air flow, the second chamber 114 is provided with an air supply assembly 120, and the partition 112 is provided with a third opening 1121 connecting the second chamber 114 and the air passage 1131, so that this arrangement makes the structure of the air treatment module 100 more compact. Based on the above structural arrangement, the airflow in the second chamber 114 can directly pass through the third opening 1121 of the partition 112 to reach the first chamber 113, and the flow path of the airflow in this process is short, so that the attenuation of the air volume can be effectively reduced. In the related art, the air supply channel of the fan and the air duct 1131 connected to the opening are set independently of each other, so that the direction of the airflow and the setting position of each component need to adapt to each other, which makes it easy to make the flow path of the airflow from the fan to the opening longer and the air volume attenuation larger. In comparison, the air treatment module 100 of the utility model uses the partition 112 to separate the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114, and at the same time, a third opening 1121 for air flow is set on the partition 112, thereby effectively shortening the flow path of the airflow from the air supply component 120 to the first opening 1111, thereby reducing the air volume attenuation, or reducing the cost and energy consumption caused by the large air volume attenuation. In addition, the air treatment module 100 of the utility model can open or close the third opening 1121 by moving the first valve 130, and the air flow path will not be increased or the structural compactness of the air treatment module 100 will not be affected due to the setting of the first valve 130. Therefore, the air treatment module 100 of the present invention can shorten the flow path of the airflow to reduce air volume attenuation.

[0057] See also Figure 4-Figure 5In some embodiments, the dimension of the air duct 1131 in a direction parallel to the axis of the first opening 1111 is greater than the dimension in a direction parallel to the axis of the third opening 1121. It is understood that, when observed in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the first opening 1111 and the axis of the third opening 1121, the air duct 1131 can be roughly in the shape of an elongated strip (the cross section of the air duct 1131 can be a combination of a rectangular or elongated strip, etc.), which can facilitate the guidance of airflow and reduce air volume loss. In addition, the plane where the first opening 1111 is located can be connected to the baffle 132. It is understood that the plane where the first opening 1111 is located and the baffle 132 (i.e., the plane where the third opening 1121 is located) can be two adjacent walls of the housing 111 that define the elongated air duct 1131. Based on the above description, this setting can make the flow distance of the airflow from the third opening 1121 to the first opening 1111 shorter.

[0058] For further information, see Figure 4-Figure 5 In some embodiments, the axis of the first opening 1111 intersects with the axis of the third opening 1121, and the third opening 1121 faces the first opening 1111. Thus, the airflow can be guided from the third opening 1121 to the first opening 1111, and the flow distance of the airflow can be shortened. In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment, in order to make the axis of the first opening 1111 intersect with the axis of the third opening 1121, the plane where the first opening 1111 is located and the baffle 132 can be two adjacent wall surfaces of the housing 111, and the angle between the two wall surfaces is an acute angle.

[0059] For the driving form of the first valve 130, see Figure 2-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first valve 130 includes a driving member 131 and a baffle 132 connected to the housing 111. The structural shape of the baffle 132 can be determined according to the requirements and can be designed according to the cross-sectional shape of the third opening 1121. Therefore, the driving member 131 can be configured to drive the baffle 132 to rotate relative to the housing 111 to open or close the third opening 1121. For more details, see Figure 2-Figure 3 In some embodiments, the rotation axis of the baffle 132 can be perpendicular to the flow direction of the airflow in the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114 and the axial direction of the third opening 1121, that is, the baffle 132 can be rotated laterally and rotated into the first chamber 113 or the second chamber 114; in other embodiments, the baffle 132 can also be rotated vertically, that is, the baffle 132 can be flipped up and down vertically.

[0060] Based on the above rotation setting, the baffle 132 can open the third opening 1121 while closing other openings; or the baffle 132 can close the third opening 1121 while opening other openings. Figure 2-Figure 5In some embodiments, the first valve 130 has a first position and a second position. The first valve 130 is configured to open the third opening 1121 and close the second opening 1112 when it is in the first position. The first valve 130 is also configured to close the third opening 1121 and open the second opening 1112 when it is in the second position. It can be understood that, through the above configuration, the first valve 130 can have the effect of opening and closing the opening at the same time when it is in different positions. Combined with actual applications, when the air treatment module 100 is in different working states (such as exhaust and fresh air states), the first valve 130 can be located in different positions accordingly, and the direction of the airflow can be switched accordingly. That is, it is only necessary to control the first valve 130 to achieve the management of opening and closing the opening, so that the switching structure is simpler and the switching process is simpler. In addition, to achieve similar effects, in other embodiments, see Figure 10-11 The air treatment module 100 further includes a second valve 140, and the second valve 140 has a third position and a fourth position. The second valve 140 is configured to be located at the third position when the first valve 130 opens the third opening 1121, and closes the second opening 1112. The second valve 140 is also configured to be located at the fourth position when the first valve 130 closes the third opening 1121, and opens the second opening 1112. It can be understood that by managing the opening and closing of the third opening 1121 and the second opening 1112 respectively by two sets of valves, it is also possible to simultaneously manage the opening and closing states of multiple openings.

[0061] In order to make the first valve 130 more easily achieve the effect of opening and closing the opening at the same time and make the structure more convenient, see Figure 2-Figure 5 In some embodiments, one side of the partition 112 along the first direction X may define a first chamber 113, and the wall surface connected to the other side may have a second opening 1112, that is, the partition 112 and the wall surface where the second opening 1112 is located may be adjacent to and connected to each other, thereby making the position switching action of the first valve 130 simpler and convenient for abutment positioning and sealing, and only needing to control the baffle 132 to drive from the position abutting against the wall surface where the second opening 1112 is located to the position abutting against the partition 112, the first valve 130 can be switched from the first position to the second position, and vice versa. Further combined with the setting that the third opening 1121 faces the first opening 1111, the setting also makes the angle between the partition 112 and the wall surface where the second opening 1112 is located to be an acute angle, that is, the baffle 132 only needs to rotate through a smaller angle range to achieve the switching of the first valve 130 between the first position and the second position, and the response is faster.

[0062] In addition, in other embodiments, the baffle 132 can also translate relative to the partition 112 to open or close the third opening 1121. This setting can adjust the opening degree of the third opening 1121 by translation to meet the demand for air volume regulation.

[0063] In order to further make the third opening 1121 close to the first opening 1111, see Figure 2-Figure 3 as well as Figure 8-Figure 9 In some embodiments, along the direction parallel to the axis of the first opening 1111, the partition 112 has a first end 1122 close to the first opening 1111 and a second end 1123 away from the first opening 1111. Based on this, the third opening 1121 is located on the side of the second end 1123 close to the first opening 1111. It can be understood that along the direction parallel to the axis of the first opening 1111, the partition 112 has an end close to the first opening 1111 (i.e., the first end 1122) and an end away from the first opening 1111 (i.e., the second end 1123). In order to shorten the flow path of the airflow, the third opening 1121 can be provided on the side of the second end 1123 close to the first opening 1111. Furthermore, in some embodiments, along a direction parallel to the axis of the first opening 1111, the partition 112 has a center point located between the first end 1122 and the second end 1123. Based on this, the third opening 1121 can be arranged between the center point and the first end 1122, thereby further shortening the flow path of the airflow.

[0064] See also Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the housing 111 further has a third chamber 115, a fourth opening 1113 and a fifth opening 1114. Specifically, the fourth opening 1113 connects the first chamber 113 and the third chamber 115, the fifth opening 1114 connects the second area and the third chamber 115, and one end of the air supply component 120 connects the third chamber 115 and the other end connects the second chamber 114. For the relative positions between the chambers, see Figure 6-Figure 7The housing 111 includes an end wall 1115 located at the periphery, the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X, and the air supply assembly 120 and the third chamber 115 are arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X, along the second direction Y, the first chamber 113 is located between the end wall 1115 and the third chamber 115, and the second chamber 114 is located between the end wall 1115 and the air supply assembly 120. The end wall 1115 may be an end wall surface of the air treatment module 100 along any direction, so the end surface may be any one of the top surface, the bottom surface, and the lateral wall surface, and the following description is based on the embodiment in which the end wall 1115 is the top surface of the air treatment module 100. It can be understood that the space on one side of the shell 111 along the first direction X defines the first chamber 113 and the third chamber 115, and the space on the other side of the first direction X defines the second chamber 114 and is used to set the air supply component 120 (i.e., defines the air supply channel). In addition, the space on one side of the shell 111 along the second direction Y defines the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114, and the space on the other side of the second direction Y defines the third chamber 115 and is used to set the air supply component 120. Therefore, the above-mentioned setting makes full use of the internal space of the shell 111, so that the spatial distribution of each part of the chamber is more reasonable and compact, and it is convenient for airflow to flow between the chambers. Based on the relative position relationship between the chambers defined above, along the second direction Y, the wall surface where the fourth opening 1113 is located can be located between the first chamber 113 and the third chamber 115. Thus, in some embodiments, the wall surface where the fourth opening 1113 is located can be arranged opposite to the end wall 1115 and serve as the bottom surface defining the first chamber 113; in other embodiments, the bottom surface defining the first chamber 113 may not be the same wall surface as the wall surface where the fourth opening 1113 is located, and the bottom surface defining the first chamber 113 is located on the side of the fourth opening 1113 along the second direction Y away from the third chamber 115.

[0065] In addition, see Figure 2-Figure 3 as well as Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the end of the partition 112 along the second direction Y is connected to the end wall 1115, and the end wall 1115 can define the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114. The above-mentioned setting can utilize the connection between the partition 112 and the end wall 1115 to enable the partition 112 to isolate the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114, and the end wall 1115 can be used to define the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114, so that the setting can effectively utilize the peripheral structure of the shell 111 itself (i.e., the end wall 1115), without additionally arranging a complex interlayer structure inside the shell 111, so that the structure of the air treatment module 100 is more concise.

[0066] For a more specific flow direction of the airflow, based on the structure of the housing 111 defined in the above embodiment, see Figure 2 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the air treatment module 100 has a first state, the first valve 130 has a first position, and when the air treatment module 100 is in the first state, the first valve 130 is located in the first position to open the third opening 1121 and close the second opening 1112, and the air supply assembly 120 is adapted to drive the airflow in the second area to be introduced into the third chamber 115 from the fifth opening 1114, then pass through the air supply assembly 120 (i.e., pass through the air supply channel of the air supply assembly 120) to be introduced into the second chamber 114, then pass through the third opening 1121 to be introduced into the first chamber 113, and then pass through the air passage 1131 to be introduced into the first area from the first opening 1111. Correspondingly, see Figure 3 as well as Figure 7 In some embodiments, the air treatment module 100 further has a second state, and the first valve 130 further has a second position. In the second state of the air treatment module 100, the first valve 130 is located in the second position to close the third opening 1121 and open the second opening 1112. The air supply assembly 120 is suitable for driving the air flow in the first area to be introduced into the first chamber 113 from the first opening 1111, then introduced into the third chamber 115 from the fourth opening 1113, then introduced into the second chamber 114 through the air supply assembly 120 (that is, through the air supply channel of the air supply assembly 120), and then introduced into the second area through the second opening 1112. Based on the setting that the first area is located outdoors and the second area is located indoors, the above-mentioned first state may correspond to the exhaust state in which the air treatment module 100 discharges indoor air to the outdoors, and the second state may correspond to the fresh air state in which the air treatment module 100 guides outdoor air to the indoors.

[0067] Combined with the settings of the partition 112 and the third opening 1121 of the above-mentioned embodiments, when the air treatment module 100 is in the first state, the airflow can pass through the fifth opening 1114, the third chamber 115, and the air supply assembly 120 (air supply channel) in sequence under the influence of the air supply assembly 120. Thereafter, after the airflow is exported to the second chamber 114 by the air supply assembly 120, it can directly pass through the third opening 1121 to reach the first chamber 113, and be exported to the first area by the first opening 1111. Therefore, since the kinetic energy of the airflow is easily attenuated after being exported by the air supply assembly 120, it is particularly important to shorten the flow path of the airflow after being exported by the air supply assembly 120. Based on this demand, the settings of the above-mentioned embodiments can effectively shorten the flow path of the airflow from the air supply assembly 120 to the third opening 1121, and shorten the flow path of the airflow from the third opening 1121 to the first opening 1111, so that the airflow direction of the above-mentioned setting combined with the settings of the partition 112 and the third opening 1121 can more effectively reduce the attenuation of the air volume.

[0068] Based on the first state and the second state defined above, in some embodiments, the air supply component 120 includes a drive motor, and the air treatment module 100 has the same driving direction of the drive motor in the first state and the second state. It can be understood that since the airflow directions in the first state and the second state are different, based on this, in the two states, the same driving direction of the drive motor of the air supply component 120 can make it unnecessary to switch the rotation direction when the fan blade state of the drive motor is switched (in the related art, if the same airflow channel is adopted, the airflow directions in the two states are opposite, so the fan blades of the motor need to switch the rotation direction), so that the fan blades can always maintain the best driving efficiency (in the related art, the fan blades can only maintain a high driving efficiency when rotating forward, and the driving efficiency is relatively low when reversing).

[0069] Based on the structure of the housing 111 defined in the above embodiment, further, in order to reduce the adverse effects of the openings in different states on the air flow, see Figure 6-Figure 7 In some embodiments, the air treatment module 100 further includes a third valve 150. In the first state, the third valve 150 is configured to close the fourth opening 1113 and open the fifth opening 1114. In the second state, the third valve 150 is configured to open the fourth opening 1113 and close the fifth opening 1114. It can be understood that, similar to the first valve 130 having the effects of opening and closing the opening, the third valve 150 of this embodiment can also achieve the management of opening and closing the opening by switching positions and affect the flow direction of the airflow. More specifically, in combination with the settings of each chamber and the settings of the air flow direction, when the air treatment module 100 is in the first state, the third valve 150 closes the fourth opening 1113 and opens the fifth opening 1114, so that the air flow can flow from the fifth opening 1114 into the third chamber 115, and the direct connection between the third chamber 115 and the first chamber 113 can be avoided to affect the air supply effect of the air supply component 120, and the air flow in the third chamber 115 can be avoided to flow directly from the fourth opening 1113 to the first chamber. 113; Similarly, when the air handling module 100 is in the second state, the third valve 150 is configured to open the fourth opening 1113 and close the fifth opening 1114, so that the airflow can flow from the first chamber 113 through the fourth opening 1113 into the third chamber 115, and the direct connection between the first chamber 113 and the second chamber 114 can be avoided to affect the air supply effect of the air supply component 120, and the airflow in the first chamber 113 can be avoided to flow directly from the third opening 1121 to the second chamber 114. Based on the above differences, the third valve 150 can have a configuration similar to or the same as the first valve 130, which will not be repeated here.

[0070] The embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention further provides an air conditioner, comprising the air treatment module 100 of any of the above embodiments.

[0071] Thanks to the improvements made to the air treatment module 100 in the above embodiments, the air conditioner in the second embodiment of the utility model has the same technical effects as the air treatment module 100 in the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
