Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and more specifically, to a kitchen air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] Existing kitchen air conditioners generally use central air conditioners or conventional air duct machines for refrigeration. Since the kitchen space is usually about 4 square meters, when installing a conventional air duct machine, pipes need to be laid in the ceiling space and space needs to be given up for the flue, which makes the originally narrow space extremely limited and difficult to meet the usage requirements in the kitchen space. Moreover, due to the large size of the conventional air duct machine, the ceiling may be damaged during the installation process. In addition, the existing kitchen air conditioners have a large number of components and a cumbersome assembly process. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a kitchen air conditioner to solve the technical problem of the large number of components and cumbersome assembly process of the existing kitchen air conditioners.

[0004] The kitchen air conditioner provided by the utility model includes an air conditioner indoor unit, an air outlet panel, an air duct cover and an air outlet pipe. Among them, the air conditioner indoor unit is installed between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling, and the air conditioner indoor unit has an air inlet and an air outlet; the air outlet panel is installed on the suspended ceiling, and the air outlet panel is provided with an air supply opening; the air duct cover is arranged on the side of the air outlet panel facing the ceiling, the air duct cover is communicated with the air supply opening, and the air duct cover and the air outlet panel are of an integral structure; the air outlet pipe connects the air duct cover and the air outlet.

[0005] By setting a kitchen air conditioner mainly composed of an air conditioner indoor unit, an air outlet panel, an air duct cover and an air outlet pipe, after assembly, the air conditioner indoor unit is in the space between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling, and the air outlet panel is installed on the suspended ceiling. When the kitchen air conditioner operates, under the action of the air conditioner indoor unit, the cooled air flow enters the air outlet pipe through the air outlet, and further flows to the air duct cover and is sent to the room through the air supply opening opened on the air outlet panel, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling the kitchen environment. Among them, the return air flows into the air conditioner indoor unit through the air inlet to realize the air flow circulation.

[0006] This kitchen air conditioner takes air from the space between the suspended ceiling and the ceiling, avoiding the occupation of the space of the air outlet panel by opening a return air opening on the air outlet panel, thereby reducing the space occupied by the kitchen air conditioner on the suspended ceiling and ensuring the compact structure of the air conditioner indoor unit. In addition, by setting the air duct cover and the air outlet panel as an integral structure, on the one hand, the number of components of the kitchen air conditioner is reduced and the assembly process is simplified. On the other hand, it can also avoid the leakage of air caused by the seam between the air duct cover and the air outlet panel, reducing the air volume loss.

[0007] Further, the air duct cover includes an air ring for sleeving with the air outlet duct and an air hood for connecting with the air outlet panel. The air hood is a curved surface structure, and the curved surface structure forms an avoidance space for demolding between the air ring and the air outlet panel. By providing an air ring in the air duct cover, the connection between the air outlet duct and the air duct cover can be realized by using the sleeving of the air ring and the air outlet duct. At the same time, by providing an air hood with a curved surface structure in the air duct cover, an avoidance space can be formed between the air ring and the air outlet panel to create a structural clearance during the demolding of the angled ejector pin, ensuring the feasibility of demolding.

[0008] Further, the air hood at least includes a first region with a first thickness and a second region with a second thickness, and the first thickness is different from the second thickness. By providing a first region and a second region with different thicknesses in the air hood, the air hood can be thickened at local structurally weak points to achieve compensation and strengthening of the local structure of the air hood, thereby improving the strength of the air duct cover.

[0009] Further, the first thickness is a, and the second thickness is 1.25a - 1.5a. By limiting the first thickness and the second thickness within the above range, on the one hand, it can avoid the insufficient strength of the air hood due to the too thin thickness at the structurally thickened part of the air hood, and on the other hand, it can also avoid material waste due to the too thick thickness at the structurally thickened part of the air hood.

[0010] Further, the kitchen air conditioner further includes a clamp for clamping and fixing the air outlet duct and the air ring. This setting can, after adjusting the angle of the air outlet duct, fixedly connect the air outlet duct and the air ring of the air duct cover to ensure the connection reliability between the air outlet duct and the air ring and prevent the air outlet duct from separating from the air duct cover during the operation of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0011] Further, the air outlet duct is a flexible pipe. This setting enables the air outlet duct to adjust the laying angle according to the positions of the air outlet and the air supply opening during the pipe connection process and effectively avoid obstacles above the ceiling, achieving free adjustment of the angle and having high flexibility in use.

[0012] Further, the main control box of the kitchen air conditioner is installed on the air outlet panel, and the main control box is located above the ceiling. The main control box is used to control the operating state of the air conditioner indoor unit. By arranging the main control box on the air outlet panel, the occupation of the internal space of the air conditioner indoor unit can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the air conditioner indoor unit, so that the air conditioner indoor unit can be installed in a narrow kitchen space, meeting the use requirements of the kitchen air conditioner in the kitchen space. Moreover, this setting places the main control box in the open space above the ceiling, which is also beneficial to the heat dissipation of the main control box and ensures the control performance of the main control box.

[0013] Furthermore, the number of the air outlets is multiple, and the numbers of both the air duct covers and the air outlet ducts are the same as that of the air outlets. The multiple air outlet ducts are respectively and correspondingly connected between the multiple air outlets and the corresponding air duct covers. This setting not only ensures the air output of the air conditioner indoor unit, but also avoids the reduction of the strength of the outer shell of the air conditioner indoor unit caused by the too large area of a single air outlet.

[0014] Furthermore, the kitchen air conditioner further includes a damper door movably arranged on the air outlet panel. The damper door has a closed position for blocking the air supply opening and an open position for exposing the air supply opening. The setting of the above damper door can block the air supply opening in the shutdown state, which not only reduces the adhesion of impurities above the ceiling, but also ensures the appearance integrity of the air outlet panel after the kitchen air conditioner is installed on the ceiling.

[0015] Furthermore, reinforcing ribs are arranged on the side of the air outlet panel facing the ceiling. This setting increases the structural strength of the air outlet panel. On the one hand, it extends the service life of the air outlet panel. On the other hand, it also inhibits the warping deformation of the air outlet panel and ensures the flatness of the air outlet panel. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners

[0027] To make the above - mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the following will describe the specific embodiments of the present utility model in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model.

[0028] Figure 1 This is the structural schematic diagram of the kitchen air conditioner provided by this embodiment; Figure 2 This is the top view of the structure of the kitchen air conditioner provided by this embodiment. As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, this embodiment provides a kitchen air conditioner, which includes an air conditioner indoor unit 100, an air outlet panel 200, an air duct cover 300, and an air outlet duct 400. Specifically, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is installed between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling. The air conditioner indoor unit 100 has an air inlet 110 and an air outlet 120; the air outlet panel 200 is installed on the suspended ceiling, and the air outlet panel 200 is provided with an air supply port 210; the air duct cover 300 is arranged on the side of the air outlet panel 200 facing the ceiling. The air duct cover 300 is communicated with the air supply port 210, and the air duct cover 300 and the air outlet panel 200 are of an integral structure; the air outlet duct 400 connects the air duct cover 300 and the air outlet 120.

[0029] After the kitchen air conditioner is assembled, the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is in the space between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling, and the air outlet panel 200 is installed on the suspended ceiling. When the kitchen air conditioner operates, under the action of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, the cooled air flow enters the air outlet duct 400 through the air outlet 120, and further flows to the air duct cover 300 and is then sent to the room through the air supply port 210 opened on the air outlet panel 200, so as to achieve the purpose of cooling the kitchen environment. Among them, the return air flows into the air conditioner indoor unit 100 through the air inlet 110 to realize the air flow circulation.

[0030] By taking air from the space between the ceiling and the roof, the kitchen air conditioner avoids opening an air return opening on the air outlet panel 200, thus occupying the space of the air outlet panel 200, reducing the space occupied by the kitchen air conditioner on the ceiling, and ensuring the compact structure of the indoor unit 100 of the air conditioner. In addition, by integrating the air duct cover 300 with the air outlet panel 200, on the one hand, the number of components of the kitchen air conditioner is reduced, and the assembly process is simplified. On the other hand, the situation of air leakage caused by the joint between the air duct cover 300 and the air outlet panel 200 can be avoided, and the air volume loss is reduced.

[0031] Figure 3 One of the schematic structural diagrams of the air outlet panel 200 of the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment is provided with an air duct cover 300. As Figure 3 shown, in this embodiment, the air duct cover 300 includes an air ring 310 for sleeving with the air outlet pipe 400 and an air hood 320 for connecting with the air outlet panel 200. Among them, the air hood 320 is a curved surface structure, and the curved surface structure forms an avoidance space for demolding between the air ring 310 and the air outlet panel 200.

[0032] By arranging the air ring 310 in the air duct cover 300, the connection between the air outlet pipe 400 and the air duct cover 300 can be realized by using the sleeve connection between the air ring 310 and the air outlet pipe 400. At the same time, by arranging the air hood 320 with a curved surface structure in the air duct cover 300, an avoidance space can be formed between the air ring 310 and the air outlet panel 200 to form a structural clearance during the demolding of the inclined roof, ensuring the feasibility of demolding.

[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the inclined roof demolding direction of the integrated structure formed by the air outlet panel 200 and the air duct cover 300 can be as Figure 3 shown by the arrow in.

[0034] It should also be noted that the shape of the curved surface structure of the air hood 320 can be determined by the shape of the corresponding forming die, and this embodiment does not specifically limit it.

[0035] In this embodiment, the air hood 320 at least includes a first region with a first thickness and a second region with a second thickness, where the first thickness is different from the second thickness.

[0036] By arranging the first region and the second region with different thicknesses in the air hood 320, the air hood 320 can be thickened at the local structurally weak part to realize the compensation and strengthening of the local structure of the air hood 320, so as to improve the strength of the air duct cover 300. On the one hand, the risk of fracture of the air duct cover 300 is reduced, and the service life of the air duct cover 300 is extended. On the other hand, the deformation of the air duct cover 300 is reduced, and the leakage at the connection with the air outlet pipe 400 caused by the deformation of the air duct cover 300 is avoided.

[0037] It should be noted that the area where the air shroud 320 is locally thickened can be specifically selected according to the actual situation, and this embodiment does not specifically limit where the air shroud 320 is thickened.

[0038] In other embodiments, the air shroud 320 may also have other thicknesses different from the first thickness and the second thickness in other areas. At this time, the structure of the air shroud 320 not only has the first thickness and the second thickness, but may also have a third thickness or a fourth thickness, as long as it can achieve local thickening of the air shroud 320 to improve the structural strength of the air shroud 320, and this embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first thickness is a, and the second thickness is 1.25a - 1.5a. That is to say, in this embodiment, the air shroud 320 is structurally thickened in the second area.

[0040] By limiting the first thickness and the second thickness within the above ranges, on the one hand, it can avoid the insufficient strength of the air shroud 320 due to the too thin thickness at the structurally thickened part of the air shroud 320, and on the other hand, it can also avoid material waste due to the too thick thickness at the structurally thickened part of the air shroud 320.

[0041] Figure 4 It is one of the partial structural schematic diagrams of the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Please continue to refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , and in combination with Figure 4 , in this embodiment, the air outlet duct 400 is a flexible duct.

[0042] By setting the air outlet duct 400 as a flexible duct, during the pipe connection process, the laying angle of the air outlet duct 400 can be adjusted according to the positions of the air outlet 120 and the air supply outlet 210. At the same time, referring to Figure 2 , it can also effectively avoid obstacles 010 above the ceiling, achieving free adjustment of the angle and having high usage flexibility.

[0043] It should be noted that this embodiment only gives an example of the bending and avoidance of the air outlet duct 400 with a certain setting position of the obstacle 010. It can be understood that when the obstacle 010 is in other positions, the bending position and angle of the air outlet duct 400 can be adjusted accordingly.

[0044] In this embodiment, the kitchen air conditioner may also include a clamp. Specifically, the clamp is used to clamp and fix the air outlet duct 400 and the air collar 310.

[0045] With the above-mentioned clamp provided, after adjusting the angle of the air outlet pipe 400, the air outlet pipe 400 can be fixedly connected to the air duct cover 300 at the air duct ring 310, so as to ensure the connection reliability between the air outlet pipe 400 and the air duct ring 310, and prevent the air outlet pipe 400 from separating from the air duct cover 300 during the operation of the kitchen air conditioner.

[0046] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the specific structure of the clamp can refer to the design in the prior art, and no improvement has been made in this embodiment, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0047] Figure 5 This is the second partial structural schematic diagram of the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Please continue to refer to Figure 4 and in combination with Figure 5 In this embodiment, the main control box 500 of the kitchen air conditioner is installed on the air outlet panel 200, and the main control box 500 is located above the ceiling. Among them, the main control box 500 is used to control the operating state of the air conditioner indoor unit 100.

[0048] By arranging the main control box 500 on the air outlet panel 200, the occupation of the internal space of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be reduced, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, so that the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be installed in a narrow kitchen space, meeting the use requirements of the kitchen air conditioner in the kitchen space. Moreover, this arrangement makes the main control box 500 in an open space above the ceiling, which is also beneficial to the heat dissipation of the main control box 500 and ensures the control performance of the main control box 500.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 In this embodiment, the number of air outlets 120 is two, and the numbers of both the air duct cover 300 and the air outlet pipe 400 are the same as that of the air outlets 120, which are also two. The two air outlet pipes 400 are respectively connected between the two air outlets 120 and the corresponding air duct covers 300 in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0050] The setting form with two air outlets 120 not only ensures the air volume output of the air conditioner indoor unit 100, but also avoids the reduction of the shell strength of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 caused by the too large area of a single air outlet 120.

[0051] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the number of air outlets 120 can also be in other forms, such as: three or four, etc. At this time, the numbers of the air duct cover 300 and the air outlet pipe 400 are adjusted adaptively, and this embodiment does not limit the specific number of air outlets 120.

[0052] Figure 6 This is the second structural schematic diagram of the air outlet panel 200 of the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment, with the air duct cover 300 provided;Figure 7 This is the third schematic diagram of the partial structure of the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment. Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the kitchen air conditioner may further include an air guide door 600 movably disposed on the air outlet panel 200 , wherein the air guide door 600 has a closed position for blocking the air supply port 210 and an open position for exposing the air supply port 210 .

[0053] When the kitchen air conditioner is in the shutdown state, the air guide door 600 can be in a closed position to block the air supply outlet 210 to avoid exposure of the structure above the ceiling; when the kitchen air conditioner is needed to supply air to the room, the air guide door 600 is opened to expose the air supply outlet 210, so that the airflow delivered by the air conditioner indoor unit 100 can be delivered into the room through the air supply outlet 210 to achieve cooling of the kitchen environment.

[0054] The setting of the above-mentioned air guide door 600 can achieve the blocking of the air supply port 210 in the shutdown state, which not only reduces the adhesion of impurities above the ceiling, but also ensures the appearance integrity of the air outlet panel 200 after the kitchen air conditioner is installed on the ceiling.

[0055] Specifically, in this embodiment, the air guide door 600 is rotatably connected to the air outlet panel 200. A driving motor for driving the air guide door 600 to rotate may be provided, so that the motor shaft of the driving motor is transmission-connected to the air guide door 600, so as to realize automatic rotation of the air guide door 600 by using the driving motor.

[0056] In other embodiments, the air guide door 600 may also be configured to be slidably connected to the air outlet panel 200, and the air guide door 600 may be switched between the closed position and the open position by sliding relative to the air outlet panel 200. This configuration ensures that the opening process of the air guide door 600 does not occupy indoor space, thereby reducing the height requirement for indoor space.

[0057] Figure 8 The third structural diagram of the air outlet panel 200 of the kitchen air conditioner provided in this embodiment is provided with the air duct cover 300. Please continue to refer to Figure 5 , and combined with Figure 8 In this embodiment, a reinforcing rib 220 is provided on a side of the air outlet panel 200 facing the ceiling.

[0058] By providing reinforcing ribs 220 on the side of the air outlet panel 200 facing the ceiling, the structural strength of the air outlet panel 200 is increased. On the one hand, the service life of the air outlet panel 200 is extended. On the other hand, the warping deformation of the air outlet panel 200 is suppressed, thereby ensuring the flatness of the air outlet panel 200.

[0059] In this embodiment, the volume of the air conditioner indoor unit 100 is 600mm×250mm×230mm. Such a dimension setting enables the air conditioner indoor unit 100 to be inserted into the space between the ceiling and the suspended ceiling from bottom to top after the aluminum gusset plate is removed, realizing the installation without damaging the suspended ceiling or cutting the keel on the basis that the kitchen has been decorated with a suspended ceiling.
