Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiment

[0023] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the embodiments:

[0024] Embodiment 1

[0025] As Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a fresh air unit with a direct expansion evaporator, which includes an installation mechanism 1. At the bottom of the inner cavity of the installation mechanism 1, there is a temperature control mechanism 2 that can adjust the temperature of the fresh air. On one side of the inner cavity of the installation mechanism 1, there is a humidification mechanism 3 that can adjust the humidity of the fresh air. The humidification mechanism 3 and the temperature control mechanism 2 include a direct expansion evaporator 24 that can exchange heat with the fresh air. The humidification mechanism 3 includes a heater 33 that can heat and evaporate water. The installation mechanism 1 includes an installation box 11 with a maintenance door at the top. Inside the installation box 11, there is an installation cavity 12. On one side of the installation cavity 12 inside the installation box 11, there is a ventilation cavity 13. On the surface of the installation box 11, there is a fixed control module 26. On one side of the surface of the installation box 11, there is a control panel 25. The inner wall of the installation cavity 12 is fixedly connected with a heat dissipation fan 27. On one side of the inner cavity of the ventilation cavity 13, there is an air inlet pipe 14 fixedly connected. Inside the air inlet pipe 14, there is a blower 15. On the other side of the inner cavity of the ventilation cavity 13, there is an air outlet pipe 16 with a temperature and humidity sensor arranged on its inner wall. One end of the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 13 close to the air inlet pipe 14 is inserted with a filter plate 17. At the bottom of the inner cavity of the ventilation cavity 13, there is a collection tank 18 that can collect condensate water. On one side of the inner cavity of the collection tank 18, there is a drain pipe 19. The control module 26 is in signal connection with the temperature and humidity sensor arranged inside the air outlet pipe 16.

[0026] In this embodiment, the outside fresh air is input into the ventilation cavity 13 along the air inlet pipe 14 by the blower 15. Under the action of the filter plate 17, the dust in the air can be removed. Subsequently, under the action of the direct expansion evaporator 24, the liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gas in the direct expansion evaporator 24 and exchanges heat with the fresh air in the ventilation cavity 13, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the temperature of the fresh air.

[0027] Embodiment 2

[0028] As Figures 1-5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the temperature control mechanism 2 further includes a throttle valve 21. The outlet of the throttle valve 21 is connected to the inlet of the direct expansion evaporator 24 through a pipeline. The inlet of the throttle valve 21 is connected to a condenser 22 through a pipeline. The inlet of the condenser 22 is connected to a compressor 23 through a pipeline. The inlet of the compressor 23 is connected to the outlet of the direct expansion evaporator 24 through a pipeline. The direct expansion evaporator 24 is arranged inside the ventilation cavity 13.

[0029] In this embodiment, the gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 23 from the outlet of the direct expansion evaporator 24 and is compressed into a high-temperature compressed gas. Subsequently, it enters the condenser 22 and condenses into a liquid again. Then, under the action of the throttle valve 21, the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant are reduced, and it enters the direct expansion evaporator 24 again for cyclic heat exchange, making it more convenient to use. At the same time, the setting of the heat dissipation fan 27 can dissipate heat from the condenser 22.

[0030] Example 3

[0031] As Figures 1-5 shown, on the basis of Embodiment 1, the present utility model provides a technical solution: Preferably, the humidifying mechanism 3 includes a plug-in member 31, the surface of the plug-in member 31 is plugged into one end of the inner wall of the ventilation cavity 13 close to the air outlet pipe 16, the bottom of the inner cavity of the plug-in member 31 is fixedly connected with a storage bin 32 storing pure water, the inner wall of the storage bin 32 is fixedly connected with the surface of a heater 33, the top of the storage bin 32 is fixedly connected with a steam pipe 34 communicating with the inner cavity of the storage bin 32, steam holes are formed in the surface of the steam pipe 34, the top of the inner cavity of the storage bin 32 is fixedly connected with a liquid level sensor 35, the liquid level sensor 35 is in signal connection with the control module 26, a water inlet pipe 36 is arranged on the inner wall of the storage bin 32, one end of the water inlet pipe 36 is fixedly connected with a solenoid valve 37, a water delivery pipe 38 of an external water pump is arranged at the inlet and outlet ends of the solenoid valve 37, and the solenoid valve 37 is in signal connection with the control module 26.

[0032] In this embodiment, under the action of the heater 33, the pure water in the storage bin 32 is heated, the evaporation of the pure water is accelerated, the steam enters the fresh air along the steam pipe 34 to humidify the fresh air, and the temperature and humidity of the fresh air can be detected by the temperature and humidity sensor in the air outlet pipe 16, so that it is more convenient to adjust the output power of the heater 33 and the temperature control mechanism 2, and further adjust the temperature and humidity of the fresh air. At the same time, during the humidifying process, the liquid level sensor 35 can detect the remaining amount of pure water in the storage bin 32. When the remaining amount is small, the control module 26 opens the solenoid valve 37, so that the pure water enters the water inlet pipe 36 from the water delivery pipe 38 to add water to the storage bin 32, avoiding the dryness of the pure water in the storage bin 32 and making it more convenient to use.

[0033] Next, the working principle of the fresh air unit with a direct expansion evaporator will be specifically described.

[0034] As Figures 1-5As shown in the figure, during use, fresh outdoor air is input into the ventilation chamber 13 along the air inlet pipe 14 by the blower 15. Under the action of the filter plate 17, dust in the air can be removed. Subsequently, under the action of the direct expansion evaporator 24, the liquid refrigerant evaporates into a gas in the direct expansion evaporator 24, exchanges heat with the fresh air in the ventilation chamber 13, so as to achieve the effect of adjusting the temperature of the fresh air. The gaseous refrigerant enters the compressor 23 from the outlet of the direct expansion evaporator 24, is compressed into a high-temperature compressed gas, and then enters the condenser 22, where it re-condenses into a liquid state. Subsequently, under the action of the throttle 21, the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant are reduced, and it enters the direct expansion evaporator 24 again for cyclic heat exchange, making it more convenient to use. At the same time, the setting of the heat dissipation fan 27 can dissipate heat from the condenser 22. Subsequently, under the action of the heater 33, the purified water in the storage bin 32 is heated to accelerate the evaporation of the purified water, so that the steam enters the fresh air along the steam pipe 34 to humidify the fresh air. And the temperature and humidity of the fresh air can be detected by the temperature and humidity sensor in the air outlet pipe 16, making it more convenient to adjust the output power of the heater 33 and the temperature control mechanism 2, thereby adjusting the temperature and humidity of the fresh air. At the same time, during the humidification process, the remaining amount of purified water in the storage bin 32 can be detected by the liquid level sensor 35. When the remaining amount is less, the control module 26 opens the solenoid valve 37, so that the purified water enters the water inlet pipe 36 from the water delivery pipe 38 to add water to the storage bin 32, avoiding the drying up of the purified water in the storage bin 32 and making it more convenient to use.

[0035] The above has generally described the present invention in detail. However, based on the present invention, some modifications or improvements can be made, which are obvious to those of ordinary skill in the art. Therefore, modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
