Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of fan coil units. More specifically, the utility model relates to a fresh air fan coil unit for kitchens. Background Art

[0002] In a green building residential system, due to the good airtightness indoors, when the range hood is turned on, the indoor air will be quickly exhausted, resulting in indoor pressure loss. Then, the sewer exhaust gas will be drawn into the room, affecting the indoor air quality. At the same time, the sewer bacteria will also be drawn into the room, posing a potential health hazard to the residents. In some green building kitchens, make-up air fans are installed. When the range hood is operating, the residents will turn on the make-up air fan to supply air to the room. At this time, the make-up air fan directly draws outdoor air into the room. In summer, it is high-temperature and high-humid air, and in winter, it is low-temperature air. When the make-up air fan operates, the outdoor air will disrupt the indoor environment. In severe cases, condensation will occur indoors in summer, and indoor temperature loss will occur in winter. The surface cooler has the function of adjusting the supply air temperature. However, when low-temperature medium flows into the surface cooler, condensate will accumulate at the water tray. Due to the large air volume and wind speed of the fan, the condensate will gather on the air supply side of the water tray and cannot be discharged. When the water volume accumulates to a certain extent, the phenomenon of condensate overflow will occur, or the condensate will backflow into the water tray and overflow when the machine stops. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a fresh air fan coil unit for kitchens. Fresh air enters the casing through the fresh air inlet, and then passes through the fresh air filter, fresh air damper, and surface cooler, and is sent into the room by the fan.

[0033] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings, so that those skilled in the art can implement it according to the description in the specification.

[0034] It should be noted that in the description of the present utility model, the orientation or positional relationships indicated by the terms "lateral", "longitudinal", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc. are based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the drawings. These are only for the convenience of describing the present utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present utility model.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the present utility model provides a fresh air fan coil unit for a kitchen, including:

[0036] A fresh air filter 1;

[0037] A fresh air damper 2;

[0038] A surface cooler 3;

[0039] A fan 4;

[0040] A casing 5, on which a fresh air inlet and an air supply outlet are provided. A fresh air flow passage is formed between the fresh air inlet and the air supply outlet. The fresh air filter 1, the fresh air damper 2, the surface cooler 3 and the fan 4 are sequentially arranged along the flow direction of the fresh air on the fresh air flow passage;

[0041] A first tray 6, which is arranged at the bottom of the surface cooler 3. The bottom of the first tray 6 gradually slopes downward along the flow direction of the fresh air, and a first drain port 601 is provided at its lower position. This is beneficial for the discharge of condensed water. A drain pipe is provided at the first drain port 601, and the drain pipe passes through the bottom of the casing 5. One side of the top of the first tray 6 is provided with a first cover plate 602, and the first cover plate 602 is arranged on the side of the first tray 6 close to the fan 4. In summer, the surface cooler 3 has a partial dehumidification function. The condensed water stored in the first tray 6 is discharged to the sewer through the first drain port 601.

[0042] When the fresh air fan coil unit for kitchen provided by this solution is in use, fresh air enters the casing 5 through the fresh air inlet, and then after passing through the fresh air filter 1, the fresh air damper 2, and the surface cooler 3, it is sent into the room by the fan 4. The surface cooler 3 is supplied with ceiling cold water in summer and ceiling hot water in winter, having the function of adjusting the supply air temperature and being able to avoid disturbing the environment in the kitchen.

[0043] When the conventional fresh air fan or fan coil unit operates in summer, low-temperature medium flows into the surface cooler 3, and condensed water will accumulate at the water tray. Due to the large air volume and air speed of the fan 4, the condensed water gathers on the air supply side of the water tray and cannot be discharged. When the water volume accumulates to a certain extent, the phenomenon of condensed water overflow will occur, or when the unit stops, the condensed water will backflow into the water tray and overflow. To avoid this kind of phenomenon, a first cover plate 602 is installed on the upper part of the air supply side of the first tray 6, and at the same time, its bottom is inclined, and a drain pipe is set at the lower position of its bottom. In this way, the condensed water gathers under the first cover plate 602 under the action of the wind. As the condensed water gathers, the pressure at the gathering place increases. Under the action of gravity and wind pressure, the condensed water flows downward along the inclined surface of the bottom of the first tray 6 into the drain pipe, and finally is discharged into the sewer through the drain pipe, achieving the effect of preventing a large amount of condensed water from gathering and backflow during shutdown.

[0044] The fan coil unit provided by this solution is composed of a fresh air filter 1, a fresh air damper 2, a surface cooler 3, a first tray 6, a fan 4, etc., and is installed in a horizontal ceiling-mounted manner.

[0045] In another solution, in the fresh air fan coil unit for kitchen, it further includes:

[0046] A return air damper 7;

[0047] A return air filter screen 8;

[0048] A casing 9, which is hollow inside and open at both ends. One end of the casing 9 forms a return air inlet, and the other end is connected to one side of the casing 5 and communicates with the area between the fresh air damper 2 and the surface cooler 3 in the casing 5. A return air flow path is formed in the casing 9, and the return air damper 7 and the return air filter screen 8 are sequentially arranged along the flowing direction of the return air flow on the return air flow path.

[0049] After the return air enters the casing 9 through the return air inlet, it then passes through the return air damper 7, the return air filter screen 8, and the surface cooler 3, and is sent into the room by the fan 4.

[0050] When the fan coil unit is turned on and in the fresh air mode, the return air damper 7 is closed, and fresh air enters the fan coil unit.

[0051] When the fan coil unit is turned on and in the return air mode, the fresh air damper 2 is closed, and the return air damper 7 is opened.

[0052] When the fan coil unit is closed, both the fresh air damper 2 and the return air damper 7 are closed.

[0053] In another solution, the fresh air fan coil unit for kitchen further includes:

[0054] A second tray 10, which is arranged at the bottom of the return air filter screen 8. The bottom of the second tray 10 slopes gradually downward along the flowing direction of the return air current, and a second drain port 101 is arranged at its lower position, which is conducive to the discharge of the cleaning liquid. One side of the top of the second tray 10 is provided with a second cover plate 102, and the second cover plate 102 is arranged on the side of the second tray 10 close to the casing 5;

[0055] A cleaning device 11, which includes a plurality of spray heads, a delivery pipe and a pump. The plurality of spray heads are distributed on both sides of the top of the return air filter screen 8, and are all communicated with the cleaning liquid inlet through the delivery pipe. A pump is arranged on the delivery pipe, and the plurality of spray heads are located above the second tray 10.

[0056] The cleaning liquid is pumped into the spray heads through the delivery pipe, and then the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto both sides of the top of the return air filter screen 8 through the spray heads. After the cleaning liquid dissolves the oil stains, it converges at the second drain port 101 and is discharged through the second drain port 101.

[0057] By arranging the cleaning device 11 at the return air filter screen 8, the problem of oil stain accumulation inside the equipment is solved. The sewage for cleaning flows into the second tray 10 and is discharged through the second drain port 101.

[0058] The return air filter screen 8 is made of a waterproof material to avoid damage during the cleaning process. The automatic cleaning device 11 is composed of a cleaning liquid inlet, a cleaning liquid delivery pipe, a cleaning liquid water pump, cleaning liquid spray heads, etc. The system records the running time of the return air. After reaching the set time, the automatic cleaning function of the return air filter screen 8 is automatically turned on. The cleaning water pump extracts the external cleaning liquid and sprays it onto the return air filter screen 8 through the cleaning liquid spray heads. After dissolving the oil stains, it converges into the second tray 10 and is discharged through the second drain port 101.

[0059] In another solution, in the fresh air fan coil unit for kitchen, the fresh air damper 2 is an electric damper, and the electric actuator of the fresh air damper 2 is connected to the controller. The blades of the electric damper are opened or closed under the action of the electric actuator and the connecting rod. This is the prior art, and other forms of electric dampers can also be used.

[0060] When the fan coil unit is turned on and in the fresh air mode, the fresh air damper 2 opens its blades under the action of its electric actuator and connecting rod, and fresh air enters the fan coil unit; when the fan 4 stops, the blades of the fresh air damper 2 close under the action of the electric actuator and connecting rod. Since the indoor of the residential green building system maintains a slightly positive pressure state, the blades of the fresh air damper 2 are closely attached to the valve body sealing baffle 203 under the action of the positive pressure, which can improve the sealing effect.

[0061] In another solution, in the fresh air fan coil unit for the kitchen, each blade of the fresh air damper 2 is composed of a main body part 201 and a sealing part 202, and sealing baffles 203 are arranged around the periphery of each blade of the fresh air damper 2; for any one blade, the sealing part 202 is arranged circumferentially around the main body part 201, and when the blade is closed, the blade is closely attached to the sealing baffle 203.

[0062] A rotating shaft is arranged along the long side direction at the upper part of the blade, so that the blade can freely rotate around the rotating shaft. At the same time, the rotating shaft of the blade deviates from the geometric center, so that the blade naturally droops in the closed state. All the blades are connected by connecting rods, so that the blades can move simultaneously and at the same angle (this is the prior art, and other forms of electric dampers can also be used as long as the blades can move simultaneously and at the same angle under the control of the controller). The blade is composed of a central metal main body part 201 and an edge sealing part 202 (such as rubber material). The central metal main body part 201 plays a supporting role to prevent the blade from deforming, and the edge sealing part 202 plays a sealing role to prevent air leakage. Except for the blade, sealing baffles 203 are arranged around each blade area of the main body part 201 of the fresh air damper 2, which can be closely attached to the edge sealing part 202 of the blade to improve the valve sealing performance.

[0063] In another solution, in the fresh air fan coil unit for the kitchen, it further includes:

[0064] Two groups of anti-splash louvers 12, which are arranged on both sides of the return air filter screen 8, and each spray head is located between the two groups of anti-splash louvers 12.

[0065] During the operation of the fan coil unit, the anti-splash louvers 12 are fully opened to reduce the return air resistance. In the cleaning mode, the anti-splash louvers 12 are fully closed to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing onto other components.

[0066] In another solution, in the fresh air fan coil unit for the kitchen, the anti-splash louvers 12 are electric louvers, and the electric actuator of the anti-splash louvers 12 is connected to the controller.

[0067] During the operation of the fan coil unit, the anti-splash louver 12 is fully opened under the action of its electric actuator to reduce the return air resistance. In the cleaning mode, the anti-splash louver 12 is fully closed under the action of its electric actuator to prevent the cleaning liquid from splashing onto other components.

[0068] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, it is not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. It can be fully applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those familiar with the field, additional modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and the equivalent scope, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and the illustrated examples here.
