[0043] Figure 1 is a schematic front view of a cabinet air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention, asFigure 1 as shown in and with reference to Figures 2 - 6 . An embodiment of the present utility model provides a cabinet air conditioner, which includes a housing 10, a first air supply duct 31, a second air supply duct 41, and a second air intake duct 51. A first air intake 22 is provided on the front side 11 of the housing 10. A first air intake duct 21 is connected to the rear side of the first air intake 22. One end of the first air supply duct 31 is connected to the first air intake duct 21, and the other end forms a first air supply opening 32 on the front side 11. A first air wheel 33 is provided in the first air supply duct 31. One end of the second air supply duct 41 is connected to the first air intake duct 21, and the other end forms a second air supply opening 42 on the front side 11. A second air wheel 43 is provided in the second air supply duct 41. The first air supply opening 32 and the second air supply opening 42 are located on opposite sides of the first air intake 22 in the horizontal direction. The second air intake duct 51 forms a second air outlet 53 in the first air intake duct 21 and a second air intake 52 on the front side 11. A third air wheel 54 is provided in the second air intake duct 51.

[0044] Generally, the housing 10 of the cabinet air conditioner may include a front side 11 (which may also be referred to as a front panel in some embodiments), left and right sides, a rear side wall, a top cover, a base, etc. The cabinet air conditioner can be embedded and installed in a storage space within a furniture cabinet (such as a kitchen cabinet, a TV cabinet) or a wall, for example, embedded and installed in a cabinet compartment of a TV cabinet.

[0045] The installation method of the cabinet air conditioner can be a standing type, that is, the base of the air conditioner is placed on the bottom plate of the cabinet compartment of the furniture cabinet or the floor within the cabinet compartment. The installation method of the cabinet air conditioner can also be a wall-mounted type, that is, the rear side wall of the air conditioner is hung on the back panel of the cabinet compartment of the furniture cabinet or the wall within the cabinet compartment. The installation method of the cabinet air conditioner can also be a ceiling-mounted type, that is, the top cover of the air conditioner is hung on the top plate of the cabinet compartment of the furniture cabinet or the roof within the cabinet compartment.

[0046] For a cabinet air conditioner embedded and installed in a furniture cabinet or a wall, since its left and right sides and the rear side are all blocked, it is difficult to form an effective return air channel on the left and right sides and the rear side. Usually, the air intake and the air outlet are both set on the front panel, that is, a forward air intake and forward air outlet air flow circuit is formed. In this air flow circuit, the air flow direction will have an approximate 180-degree turn, and the air flow in the air duct needs to turn multiple times, which will generate a large air loss, and then lead to a smaller air supply volume and a shorter air supply distance of the air conditioner, affecting the user experience.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first air supply opening 32, the first air intake 22, and the second air supply opening 42 are all opened on the front side 11 and are arranged at intervals in sequence. The first air intake 22 can be in the middle, and the first air supply opening 32 and the second air supply opening 42 are respectively on the left and right sides of the first air intake 22.

[0048] The first wind wheel 33 and the second wind wheel 43 can be cross-flow wind wheels, centrifugal wind wheels, axial-flow wind wheels, etc., which are used to suck the air in front of the first air inlet 22 into the first air inlet duct 21, and then suck them into the first air supply duct 31 and the second air supply duct 41 respectively, and finally send them out through the first air supply outlet 32 and the second air supply outlet 42. In this embodiment, by setting two air supply ducts (the first air supply duct 31 and the second air supply duct 41) and two wind wheels (the first wind wheel 33 and the second wind wheel 43), compared with setting only one air supply duct and one wind wheel, the air supply volume of the air conditioner can be greatly increased, and the air supply distance can be increased, so as to make up for the air volume loss caused by the too large change in the air path direction when the air inlet and the air supply outlet are on the same front side 11, and achieve the effect of improving the air outlet flow and the air supply distance of the air conditioner.

[0049] The second air inlet 52 is also provided on the front side 11, and can be located above and / or below the first air inlet 22. The second air inlet 52 and the first air inlet 22 can be connected or arranged at intervals.

[0050] The second air inlet duct 51 can be one or more. When there are multiple ones, a third wind wheel 54 can be arranged in each second air inlet duct 51. Correspondingly, the second air inlet 52 can be one or more. When there are multiple second air inlets 52, two adjacent second air inlets 52 can be connected or arranged at intervals.

[0051] The third wind wheel 54 can be a cross-flow wind wheel, a centrifugal wind wheel, an axial-flow wind wheel, etc., which is used to suck the air in front of the second air inlet 52 into the second air inlet duct 51, and then discharge it into the first air inlet duct 21 through the second air outlet 53. The second air outlet 53 can be located at the end of the first air inlet duct 21, or in an area of the first air inlet duct 21 that is less affected by the negative pressure of the first wind wheel 33 and / or the second wind wheel 43, so as to increase the air pressure in this area and promote the air flow in this area to enter the first wind wheel 33 and / or the second wind wheel 43 faster. That is to say, the third wind wheel 54 can assist in sucking air from the second air inlet 52 and then discharging it into the first air inlet duct 21, improve the air inlet volume of the first wind wheel 33 and / or the second wind wheel 43, and further achieve the effect of further increasing the air supply volume and the air supply distance of the air conditioner.

[0052] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, such as Figures 3 - 5 shown, both the first wind wheel 33 and the second wind wheel 43 are cross-flow wind wheels and are both arranged vertically.

[0053] A first heat exchanger 34 and a second heat exchanger 44 are arranged vertically in the first air inlet duct 21. The first heat exchanger 34 is on the inlet side 331 of the first wind wheel. The second heat exchanger 44 is on the inlet side 431 of the second wind wheel.

[0054] The second air outlet 53 is located on the side of the first heat exchanger 34 away from the first air impeller 33 and on the side of the second heat exchanger 44 away from the second air impeller 43.

[0055] In this embodiment, both the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 are cross-flow air impellers and are both arranged vertically. Correspondingly, the first air supply duct 31 and the second air supply duct 41 may both be provided with a volute structure and a volute tongue structure. A cross-flow air impeller is a type of transverse flow air impeller. Based on the aerodynamic characteristics of the cross-flow air impeller, on the one hand, the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 can generate a relatively large air volume. On the other hand, while providing power for the air flow, they can also change the angle of the air flow direction. The first air impeller 33 can be drivingly connected to the first motor 35, and the second air impeller 43 can be drivingly connected to the second motor 45.

[0056] As Figures 3 - 4 shown, by respectively arranging the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 on both sides of the first air inlet duct 21, when the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 are working, an eccentric vortex will be formed in the area near the volute tongue. On the one hand, a negative pressure can be generated in the first air inlet duct 21 to promote the air in front of the first air inlet 22 to be sucked in. On the other hand, work can be done on the air flow passing through the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 to promote the air flow to blow out of the first air supply duct 31 and the second air supply duct 41 at a relatively high speed. On the third hand, the advantage of the cross-flow air impeller in changing the angle of the air flow direction can be fully utilized. While the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 do work on the passing air flow, they can also change the direction of the air flow to promote the air flow to turn and reduce the wind loss during the turning of the air flow.

[0057] In addition, the cross-flow air impeller also has the advantage of low noise. When the air conditioner is embedded and installed in the cabinet, except for the front side, other sides of the housing 10 may be close to or in contact with the partition of the cabinet. During operation, the cabinet will converge and amplify the noise of the air conditioner, affecting the user experience. By setting both the first air inlet impeller and the air outlet impeller as cross-flow air impellers, the noise of the air conditioner can be minimized as much as possible under the same air volume, improving the user experience.

[0058] The cabinet air conditioner is provided with a heat exchanger for temperature adjustment and humidity adjustment of the passing air flow. The heat exchanger can be located in the first air inlet duct 21 or there can be two, respectively located in the first air supply duct 31 and the second air supply duct 41. In this embodiment, there are two heat exchangers, which are respectively arranged at the inlet side 331 of the first air impeller and the inlet side 431 of the second air impeller. Compared with setting the heat exchanger in the air supply duct, this solution can reduce the resistance of the heat exchanger to the air supply flow and prevent the influence on the air supply volume and air supply distance.

[0059] The second air outlet 53 can be arranged between the first heat exchanger 34 and the first air impeller 33, that is, the normal-temperature air flow in the second air inlet duct 51 is mixed with the temperature-adjusted and humidity-adjusted air flow passing through the first heat exchanger 34 in the first air impeller 33, and then sent out through the first air supply outlet 32. Of course, the second air outlet 53 can also be arranged between the second heat exchanger 44 and the second air impeller 43, that is, the normal-temperature air flow in the second air inlet duct 51 is mixed with the temperature-adjusted and humidity-adjusted air flow passing through the second heat exchanger 44 in the second air impeller 43, and then sent out through the second air supply outlet 42. In this embodiment, the second air outlet 53 is arranged on the side of the first heat exchanger 34 away from the first air impeller 33 and on the side of the second heat exchanger 44 away from the second air impeller 43. In this way, before the air flow in the second air inlet duct 51 enters the first air impeller 33 and / or the second air impeller 43, it will first pass through the first heat exchanger 34 and / or the second heat exchanger 44. On the one hand, it can adjust the temperature and humidity to improve the refrigeration and heating effects of the air conditioner. On the other hand, it can be rectified by the fins of the heat exchanger, thereby reducing or avoiding the generation of turbulent flow at the inlet side 331 of the first air impeller and / or the inlet side 431 of the second air impeller.

[0060] It should be understood that in this embodiment, the second air outlet 53 can be one or more, and can be set according to needs.

[0061] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, such as Figures 3 - 4 shown, the second air outlet 53 is located at the rear side of the first plane 60 where the axes of the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 are located.

[0062] In this embodiment, the second air outlet 53 is located in the rear-end area of the first air inlet duct 21. Since it is far from the first air inlet 22, the air flow rate at this place is small. By arranging the second air outlet 53 in the rear-end area of the first air inlet duct 21, the air flow rate at this place can be increased. On the one hand, the total air inlet flow rate of the first air impeller 33 and the second air impeller 43 can be improved, thereby improving the air outlet flow rate and air outlet speed. On the other hand, the heat exchange capacity of the heat exchanger facing this place can be fully utilized to improve the refrigeration and heating effects of the air conditioner.

[0063] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, such as Figures 3 - 4 shown, the first heat exchanger 34 includes a first heat exchange section 341 located on the front side of the first plane 60 and a second heat exchange section 342 located on the rear side of the first plane 60. The included angle between the first heat exchange section 341 and the second heat exchange section 342 is an obtuse angle.

[0064] The second heat exchanger 44 includes a third heat exchange section 443 located on the front side of the first plane 60 and a fourth heat exchange section 444 located on the rear side of the first plane 60. The included angle between the third heat exchange section 443 and the fourth heat exchange section 444 is an obtuse angle.

[0065] The second air outlet 53 is located on the side of the second heat exchange section 342 away from the first air impeller 33 and on the side of the fourth heat exchange section 444 away from the second air impeller 43.

[0066] In this embodiment, the first heat exchanger 34 can be integrally V-shaped or U-shaped to wrap around the inlet side 331 of the first air impeller. The first heat exchange section 341 is used to promote the entry of the backward flowing air flow. After temperature and humidity adjustment, it enters the first air impeller 33 from the area near the volute tongue side. The second heat exchange section 342 is used to promote the entry of the air flow remaining in the rear area of the first air inlet duct 21 and the air flow discharged from the second air outlet 53. After temperature and humidity adjustment, it enters the first air impeller 33 from the area near the volute side. An excessive fillet can be provided at the connection between the first heat exchange section 341 and the second heat exchange section 342. The third heat exchange section 443 and the fourth heat exchange section 444 can be set with reference to the first heat exchange section 341 and the second heat exchange section 342, and will not be elaborated here.

[0067] The second air outlet 53 is located in the rear area of the first air inlet duct 21, and on the side of the second heat exchange section 342 away from the first air impeller 33 and on the side of the fourth heat exchange section 444 away from the second air impeller 43. That is to say, the air flow discharged from the second air outlet 53 mainly enters the first air impeller 33 and / or the second air impeller 43 through the second heat exchange section 342 and / or the fourth heat exchange section 444. In this way, the forward reflux of the air flow in the rear area of the first air inlet duct 21 can be prevented, which affects the stability of the air flow in the first air inlet duct 21.

[0068] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, such as Figures 3 - 4 As shown, from front to back, the distance L1 between the first heat exchange section 341 and the third heat exchange section 443 gradually decreases. From front to back, the distance L2 between the second heat exchange section 342 and the fourth heat exchange section 444 gradually increases.

[0069] In this embodiment, the first air inlet duct 21 forms a gradually shrinking duct between the first heat exchange section 341 and the third heat exchange section 443 to promote more air flow in the front area of the first air inlet duct 21 to flow left-rear or right-rear into the first heat exchange section 341 and the third heat exchange section 443, thereby increasing the air inlet flow rate.

[0070] In this embodiment, the first air inlet duct 21 forms a gradually expanding duct between the second heat exchange section 342 and the fourth heat exchange section 444 to convert part of the dynamic pressure of the backward flowing air flow in the rear area of the first air inlet duct 21 into static pressure, and promote the air flow to flow left-front or right-front under the action of the static pressure difference and be sucked into the first air impeller 33 and / or the second air impeller 43.

[0071] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, such as Figures 5 - 6As shown, one end of the first wind wheel 33 is drivingly connected to a first motor 35. The third wind wheel 54 is a centrifugal wind wheel or an axial flow wind wheel. The first motor 35 is also drivingly connected to the third wind wheel 54.

[0072] Centrifugal wind wheels and axial flow wind wheels are relatively small in volume, which can reduce the overall volume of the air conditioner. A duct 70 can be provided in the second air inlet duct 51 to guide the air flow direction. The third wind wheel 54 can be arranged in the duct 70, and the inlet side 541 of the third wind wheel can face the second air inlet 52.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first wind wheel 33 and the third wind wheel 54 share one motor to save manufacturing costs. Specifically, the first wind wheel 33 and / or the third wind wheel 54 can be drivingly connected to the first motor 35 through a chain drive mechanism, a belt drive mechanism, a gear mechanism, etc. Of course, they can also be coaxially drivingly connected. It can be set according to needs.

[0074] In some embodiments of the cabinet air conditioner of the utility model, such as Figure 2 、 Figures 5 - 6 As shown, the second air inlet 52 is located above the first air inlet 22. The third wind wheel 54 is located above the first wind wheel 33, and the inlet side 541 of the third wind wheel opens upward. The first motor 35 is a double-shaft motor and is located between the first wind wheel 33 and the third wind wheel 54.

On the one hand, this driving connection method has a relatively high transmission efficiency. On the other hand, it can ensure that the rotation speed of the third wind wheel 54 is always proportional to that of the first wind wheel 33, so that the ratio of the air inlet flow rate of the second air inlet duct 51 to the air outlet flow rate of the first air supply duct 31 remains stable, preventing energy consumption waste caused by mismatched flow rates between the two wind wheels.

[0076] In this embodiment, the second air inlet 52 is located above the first air inlet 22. The third wind wheel 54 can suck the air at a relatively higher position from the second air inlet 52, convey it to the upstream of the heat exchanger, and after heat exchange and temperature adjustment, it is blown out through the air outlet under the action of the first wind wheel 33 and / or the second wind wheel 43.

In this way, when the air conditioner is heating, the air with a relatively low temperature can be heated through heat exchange, thereby improving the indoor temperature stratification, preventing the head from being hot and the feet from being cold, and achieving the effect of improving the user experience.

At the same time, since the first wind wheel 33 and the third wind wheel 54 are independently connected to the third motor 55 respectively, the relative rotational speeds of the first wind wheel 33 and the third wind wheel 54 can be freely adjusted according to requirements to achieve the best speed matching under different working conditions, and they work together to increase the air supply volume and air supply distance of the air conditioner.

[0084] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, the lower end of the first wind wheel 33 is drivingly connected to the first motor 35.

[0086] In some embodiments of the cabinet-type air conditioner of the utility model, as Figures 5 - 6 shown, there are two second air inlet ducts 51.
