Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to an indoor unit of an air conditioner. Background Art
[0002] In small space scenarios such as kitchens, bathrooms, small bedrooms, storage rooms, convenience stores, etc., the indoor wall space is very limited. For example, there are range hoods, cabinets, windows, doors connecting to the living room, refrigerators placed, etc. around the walls of the kitchen, and there is a ceiling at the top of the wall. If an air conditioner is to be installed, this small space scenario will limit the size of the air conditioner as well as its air intake and outlet.
[0003] A conventional wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit includes a casing. An air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the casing. An indoor heat exchanger is arranged inside the casing. The air inlet is arranged at the top of the casing, and the air outlet is arranged at the front lower part of the casing. When the air conditioner indoor unit works, air enters the casing from the indoor air inlet and then flows out from the indoor air outlet. This requires a certain height of air intake space to be left at the top of the casing. However, in the kitchen scenario, due to the presence of a ceiling at the top of the kitchen and insufficient height space in the kitchen, it is required that the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit can be installed close to the ceiling to save space. However, after the conventional wall-mounted unit is installed close to the ceiling, the air inlet of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit will be blocked and air cannot enter.
[0004] In order to solve the problem that the air inlet cannot intake air due to being blocked, a bottom-air-intake and front-air-outlet type air conditioner indoor unit is provided, that is, the air inlet is arranged at the bottom and the air outlet is arranged at the front, and the indoor fan is a centrifugal fan. However, the bottom-air-intake and front-air-outlet type air conditioner indoor unit arranges the indoor heat exchanger as one section and the indoor heat exchanger is arranged vertically, which will result in a limited heat exchange area. In order to increase the heat exchange area, only the height of the indoor heat exchanger can be increased, which is not suitable for installation in small spaces such as kitchens, and is not suitable for installation in the space above doors and windows. Therefore, this application proposes an air conditioner indoor unit. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The utility model aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the related art to a certain extent.
[0006] For this purpose, according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an air conditioner indoor unit is proposed, including:
[0007] A main body, the direction from its bottom to its top is the height direction of the main body, and the main body at least includes a first cavity located inside the main body;
[0008] The main body includes:
[0009] A casing, an indoor air inlet is provided at its bottom, and an indoor air outlet is provided on the front side of the casing. The indoor air outlet and the indoor air inlet communicate with the first cavity;
[0010] A centrifugal fan, disposed in the first cavity;
[0011] An indoor heat exchanger, disposed in the first cavity; the indoor heat exchanger is located in front of the centrifugal fan and behind the indoor air outlet;
[0012] Define the plane perpendicular to the height direction of the main body as the second plane;
[0013] The indoor heat exchanger includes:
[0014] The first-stage heat exchanger, whose top end and bottom end are the two ends in the width direction of the first-stage heat exchanger; in the front-back direction of the main body, the bottom end of the first-stage heat exchanger is in front of the top end of the first-stage heat exchanger, and the width direction of the first-stage heat exchanger is arranged at an angle with the second plane;
[0015] The second-stage heat exchanger, whose top end and bottom end are the two ends in the width direction of the second-stage heat exchanger, and in the front-back direction of the main body, the top end of the second-stage heat exchanger is in front of the bottom end of the second-stage heat exchanger; the width direction of the second-stage heat exchanger is arranged at an angle with the second plane;
[0016] The third-stage heat exchanger, whose top end and bottom end are the two ends in the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger, the top end of the third-stage heat exchanger is connected to the bottom end of the first-stage heat exchanger; the bottom end of the third-stage heat exchanger is connected to the top end of the second-stage heat exchanger;
[0017] The included angle between the width direction of the first-stage heat exchanger and the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger is the sixth included angle α6, 90°≤α6<180°;
[0018] The included angle between the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger and the width direction of the second-stage heat exchanger is the seventh included angle α7, 90°≤α7<180°.
[0019] The first-stage heat exchanger, the second-stage heat exchanger, and the third-stage heat exchanger are provided, and 90°≤α6<180° and 90°≤α7<180° are set. This can increase the heat exchanger area of the indoor heat exchanger while the main body height dimension is relatively determined, improving the heat exchange effect; on the premise of ensuring the heat exchanger area, the height dimension of the main body can be appropriately reduced, which can improve the installation and use range of the air conditioner indoor unit, enable the air conditioner indoor unit to be installed in small spaces such as kitchens, and can be installed in places with relatively small heights such as door bodies or windows. Moreover, it can make the opening of the indoor heat exchanger facing the centrifugal fan larger, facilitating the wind blown out from the volute air outlet to reach the indoor heat exchanger, and can make the directions of the wind passing through the first-stage heat exchanger, the second-stage heat exchanger, and the third-stage heat exchanger different. It can disperse the direction of the wind flow in advance before the air flows out of the indoor air outlet, and then converge at the indoor air outlet, which can improve the rapid diffusion of the air into the indoor air, avoid direct blowing of the wind, and improve the comfort of the air sent out from the indoor air outlet.
[0020] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0021] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed and a volute air duct is formed inside. The volute air duct is communicated with the volute air outlet; the volute air outlet is located at the front end of the volute air duct;
[0022] A centrifugal fan, which is arranged in the volute air duct;
[0023] A centrifugal motor, which is connected to the centrifugal fan and drives the centrifugal fan to rotate;
[0024] The distance between the top end and the bottom end of the volute air outlet is the second distance L2, and the minimum distance between the top end of the volute air outlet and the first-stage heat exchanger is the thirteenth distance L13. L13≥5mm, and L13 / L2≤1 / 3. This makes the distance between the top end of the volute air outlet and the first-stage heat exchanger not too small to avoid generating noise, and makes the distance between the top end of the volute air outlet and the first-stage heat exchanger not too large to avoid causing too small air volume and air outlet intensity of the indoor heat exchanger.
[0025] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0026] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed and a volute air duct is formed inside. The volute air duct is communicated with the volute air outlet; the volute air outlet is located at the front end of the volute air duct;
[0027] A centrifugal fan, which is arranged in the volute air duct;
[0028] A centrifugal motor, which is connected to the centrifugal fan and drives the centrifugal fan to rotate;
[0029] The distance between the top end and the bottom end of the volute air outlet is the second distance L2, and the minimum distance between the bottom end of the volute air outlet and the second-stage heat exchanger is the fourteenth distance L14, where L14 ≥ 5 mm and L14 / L2 ≤ 1 / 3. This ensures that the distance between the bottom end of the volute air outlet and the second-stage heat exchanger is not too small to avoid generating noise, and is not too large to avoid causing too small air volume and air outlet intensity of the indoor heat exchanger.
[0030] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0031] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed;
[0032] The first-stage heat exchanger includes a first heat exchanger windward surface on its side close to the centrifugal fan; in the height direction of the main body, the top end of the first heat exchanger windward surface is not lower than the top end of the volute air outlet.
[0033] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0034] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed;
[0035] The second-stage heat exchanger includes a second heat exchanger windward surface on its side close to the centrifugal fan; in the height direction of the main body, the bottom end of the second heat exchanger windward surface is not higher than the bottom end of the volute air outlet.
[0036] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0037] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed and a volute air duct is formed inside, and the volute air duct is communicated with the volute air outlet; the volute air outlet is located at the front end of the volute air duct;
[0038] The height of the volute air outlet in the height direction of the main body is the first height Gang, and the distance between the top end of the first heat exchanger windward surface and the top end of the volute air outlet in the height direction of the main body is the fifteenth distance L15, where 0 ≤ L15 / Gang ≤ 1 / 3. This avoids the situation that the first-stage heat exchanger is too high above the volute air outlet, resulting in low heat transfer efficiency at the top of the first-stage heat exchanger and affecting the heat transfer effect of the first-stage heat exchanger.
[0039] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0040] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed and a volute air duct is formed inside, and the volute air duct is communicated with the volute air outlet; the volute air outlet is located at the front end of the volute air duct;
[0041] The height of the volute air outlet in the height direction of the main body is the first height H4, and the distance between the bottom end of the windward surface of the second heat exchanger and the bottom end of the volute air outlet in the height direction of the main body is the sixteenth distance L16, where 0 ≤ L16 / H4 ≤ 1.5. This can prevent the heat exchange efficiency at the bottom of the second heat exchanger from being too low due to the second heat exchanger being too far below the volute air outlet, thus affecting the heat exchange effect of the second heat exchanger.
[0042] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0043] A centrifugal volute, on which a volute air outlet is formed and a volute air duct is formed inside, and the volute air duct is communicated with the volute air outlet;
[0044] A centrifugal fan, disposed inside the volute air duct;
[0045] A centrifugal motor, connected to the centrifugal fan and driving the centrifugal fan to rotate;
[0046] The centrifugal volute includes a first side plate, a second side plate and a shroud, the first side plate and the second side plate are oppositely arranged and are respectively disposed on both sides of the axis of the centrifugal fan, and the shroud is disposed between the first side plate and the second side plate and surrounds the outside of the centrifugal fan;
[0047] The shroud, the first side plate and the second side plate are connected to enclose the volute air duct and the volute air outlet;
[0048] The shroud includes a volute tongue and a first air outlet plate, the first air outlet plate is located above the volute tongue and is spaced from the volute tongue, and the volute air outlet is formed at the front ends of the volute tongue and the first air outlet plate;
[0049] The minimum distance between the volute tongue and the first air outlet plate is the fifth distance L5, the first air outlet plate includes a first point A, and the minimum distance between the first point A and the volute tongue is the fifth distance, and the first point A is located between the front end and the rear end of the first air outlet plate;
[0050] When the centrifugal fan rotates, the diameter of the maximum contour formed by the rotation of the points on the centrifugal fan is the maximum diameter D1 of the centrifugal fan, and 1 / 3 ≤ L5 / D1 ≤ 1 / 2. This can prevent the minimum distance between the volute tongue and the first air outlet plate from being too large or too small relative to the maximum diameter of the centrifugal fan, and can ensure the air volume and air pressure of the centrifugal fan.
[0051] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the centrifugal fan includes:
[0052] A centrifugal volute, including a volute tongue;
[0053] A centrifugal fan, disposed inside the centrifugal volute;
[0054] A centrifugal motor is connected to the centrifugal fan and drives the centrifugal fan to rotate. The maximum contour formed by the rotation of points on the centrifugal fan is the outer contour of the centrifugal fan.
[0055] The minimum distance between the outer contour of the centrifugal fan and the volute tongue is the eighth spacing L8, where 4 mm ≤ L8 ≤ 10 mm. This avoids excessive noise caused by too small a distance between the volute tongue and the centrifugal fan, and also ensures that the distance between the volute tongue and the centrifugal fan is not too large, reducing air volume loss and ensuring the air volume of the outlet air.
[0056] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an indoor air conditioner is also proposed, including:
[0057] A main body, with the direction from its bottom to its top being the height direction of the main body. The main body at least includes a first cavity located inside the main body.

[0061] An indoor heat exchanger, disposed in the first cavity. The indoor heat exchanger is located in front of the centrifugal fan and behind the indoor air outlet.
[0062] A plane perpendicular to the height direction of the main body is defined as the second plane.
[0063] The indoor heat exchanger includes:
[0064] A first-section heat exchanger, with its top end and bottom end being the two ends in the width direction of the first-section heat exchanger. In the front-rear direction of the main body, the bottom end of the first-section heat exchanger is in front of the top end of the first-section heat exchanger, and the width direction of the first-section heat exchanger is arranged at an angle with the second plane.
[0065] A second-section heat exchanger, with its top end and bottom end being the two ends in the width direction of the second-section heat exchanger.

The top end of the third-section heat exchanger is connected to the bottom end of the first-section heat exchanger; the bottom end of the third-section heat exchanger is connected to the top end of the second-section heat exchanger.
[0067] The included angle between the width direction of the first-stage heat exchanger and the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger is the sixth included angle α6, where 90° ≤ α6 < 180°;
[0068] The included angle between the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger and the width direction of the second-stage heat exchanger is the seventh included angle α7, where 90° ≤ α7 < 180°;
[0069] The included angle between the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger and the second plane is the eighth included angle α8, where α8 ≥ 45°. This can improve the effect of draining condensate from the third-stage heat exchanger and avoid the influence of condensate on the performance degradation of the third-stage heat exchanger.

[0129] In the present application, the volute air inlet can be arranged on both sides of the centrifugal volute in the longitudinal direction of the main body.
[0130] The centrifugal motor drives the centrifugal fan to rotate, so that air enters the volute air duct from both sides of the centrifugal volute through the volute air inlet, and then blows out from the volute air outlet.
[0131] Setting the indoor fan as a centrifugal fan can make the static pressure capacity of the air conditioner indoor unit strong, the wind resistance capacity strong, and the air supply distance far.

[0223] In this application, L10 ≤ the twentieth parameter value. The twentieth parameter value can be any value between 40 - 50 mm. The twentieth parameter value can be 50 mm. L10 ≤ 50 mm.

The value of the twenty-third parameter can be 20°. α2 ≥ 20°. It can prevent the inclination angle of the first-stage heat exchanger from being too small, resulting in less air passing through the first-stage heat exchanger, ensure the heat exchange effect of the first-stage heat exchanger, and prevent the condensate water on the first-stage heat exchanger from being difficult to flow down, improving the flow effect of the condensate water.
[0231] In this application, α2 ≤ the value of the twenty-fourth parameter. The value of the twenty-fourth parameter can be any value between 50° - 70°. The value of the twenty-fourth parameter can be 60°. α2 ≤ 60°. It can prevent the inclination angle of the first-stage heat exchanger from being too large and prevent the dimension in the height direction of the main body from being too large.
[0232] In this application, 20° ≤ α2 ≤ 60°, which is convenient for the condensate water on the first-stage heat exchanger to flow down, and while ensuring the heat exchange area of the first-stage heat exchanger, it prevents the dimension in the height direction of the main body from increasing due to the setting of the first-stage heat exchanger.
[0233] In this application, α3 ≥ the value of the twenty-fifth parameter. The value of the twenty-fifth parameter can be any value between 15° - 25°. The value of the twenty-fifth parameter can be 20°. α2 ≥ 20°. It can prevent the inclination angle of the second-stage heat exchanger from being too small, resulting in less air passing through the second-stage heat exchanger, ensure the heat exchange effect of the second-stage heat exchanger, and prevent the condensate water on the second-stage heat exchanger from being difficult to flow down, improving the flow effect of the condensate water.
[0234] In this application, α3 ≤ the value of the twenty-sixth parameter. The value of the twenty-sixth parameter can be any value between 50° - 70°. The value of the twenty-sixth parameter can be 60°. α3 ≤ 60°. It can prevent the inclination angle of the second-stage heat exchanger from being too large and prevent the dimension in the height direction of the main body from being too large.
[0235] In the present application, 20° ≤ α3 ≤ 60°, which facilitates the downward flow of condensate on the second-stage heat exchanger, and while ensuring the heat exchange area of the second-stage heat exchanger, it avoids increasing the size of the main body in the height direction due to the setting of the second-stage heat exchanger.

[0240] In the present application, α5 ≥ the twenty-ninth parameter value. The twenty-ninth parameter value can be any value between 45° and 55°. The twenty-ninth parameter value can be 45°. α5 ≥ 45°. This can avoid too small an inclination angle of the indoor heat exchanger, enabling the air conditioner indoor unit to have a sufficient inclination angle, facilitating the downward flow of condensate on the indoor heat exchanger, and avoiding the attenuation of the performance of the air conditioner indoor unit caused by condensate.

The minimum distance between the bottom end of the volute air outlet and the indoor heat exchanger is the twelfth distance L12.
[0243] L12 ≥ the thirtieth parameter value. The thirtieth parameter value can be any value between 4 mm and 6 mm. The thirtieth parameter value can be 5 mm. L12 ≥ 5 mm. This avoids too small a twelfth distance, ensuring a certain distance between the bottom end of the volute air outlet and the indoor heat exchanger and avoiding the generation of noise.

Avoiding the eleventh distance being too small, so that there is a certain distance between the top of the volute air outlet and the indoor heat exchanger, avoiding generating noise and avoiding the eleventh distance being too large, can ensure the air volume of the air outlet.
[0248] L12 ≥ 5mm, L12 / L2 ≤ 1 / 3, 1 / 3 ≤ L11 / L2 ≤ 1 / 2.

[0249] Set α5 ≥ 45°. It can increase the heat exchanger area of the indoor heat exchanger under the condition that the main body height dimension is relatively determined, improve the heat exchange effect; on the premise of ensuring the heat exchanger area, it can appropriately reduce the height dimension of the main body, improve the installation and use range of the air conditioner indoor unit, enable the air conditioner indoor unit to be installed in small spaces such as kitchens, and can be installed in places with a relatively small height such as door bodies or windows; set L12 ≥ 5mm, L12 / L2 ≤ 1 / 3, 1 / 3 ≤ L11 / L2 ≤ 1 / 2.

[0250] In this application, refer to Figures 19 - 21 , the centrifugal fan is arranged in the centrifugal volute. The centrifugal motor is connected to the centrifugal fan. The centrifugal motor drives the centrifugal fan to rotate. When the centrifugal fan rotates, the diameter of the largest contour formed by the points on the centrifugal fan is the maximum diameter D1 of the centrifugal fan. In the height direction of the main body, the height difference between the rotation axis of the centrifugal fan and the center of the indoor heat exchanger is the first distance L1.

This can make the distance between the rotation axis of the centrifugal fan and the center of the indoor heat exchanger in the main body height direction smaller, so that the centrifugal fan and the indoor heat exchanger are arranged as directly opposite as possible, which can make the air passing through the indoor heat exchanger more uniform, improve the heat exchange effect of the indoor heat exchanger, and reduce the problem of condensation caused by overcooling or overheating in the local area of the indoor heat exchanger.

This can prevent the opening between the width direction of the first-stage heat exchanger and the width direction of the third-stage heat exchanger from being too small, avoiding affecting the amount of air passing through the indoor heat exchanger; and when the heat exchange area is relatively determined, it can reduce the size of the main body in the front-back direction, can be installed in small spaces such as kitchens, and can be installed above a door or a window.
[0267] In this application, α6 < the thirty-sixth parameter value. The thirty-sixth parameter value can be any value between 160° and 180°. The thirty-sixth parameter value can be 180°. α6 < 180°. This makes the included angle between the first-stage heat exchanger and the third-stage heat exchanger face the centrifugal fan, and can reduce the size of the main body in the front-back direction, improve the installation applicability range of the air-conditioning indoor unit, and can make the directions of the air passing through the first-stage heat exchanger and the second-stage heat exchanger different.

This forms an angle between the third heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger facing the centrifugal fan, which can reduce the size of the main body in the front-back direction, improve the installation applicable range of the air-conditioning indoor unit, and can make the directions of the air flowing through the third heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger different.
