Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air conditioning, in particular to an air conditioner and an air conditioner component. Background Art

[0002] With technological advancements and improved living standards, air conditioning systems have become widely used in modern society. Air conditioning systems primarily utilize two key components: the evaporator and the condenser to achieve cooling or heating. The evaporator absorbs heat from the room and converts it into latent heat for the refrigerant, thereby lowering the indoor temperature. The condenser, on the other hand, releases the heat from the refrigerant to the outside, returning it to a liquid state and maintaining the refrigeration cycle.

[0003] However, in existing air-conditioning technologies, the performance of the evaporator and condenser often affects each other. Specifically, the heat exchanger of the air conditioner is usually installed in the same chamber, for example, the evaporator and condenser are installed in the same chamber at the same time. Especially in the ceiling installation environment, the space is cramped and the gas flow is poor. At this time, when the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator is reduced, the heat absorbed by the refrigerant will be reduced, thereby increasing the temperature of the refrigerant entering the condenser, further affecting the heat dissipation effect of the condenser; conversely, if the efficiency of the condenser decreases, it will also indirectly lead to a deterioration in the heat exchange effect of the evaporator. Such a situation leads to low heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner. Utility Model Content

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0046] The air conditioner of the present invention includes a housing assembly and a heat exchange assembly. The housing assembly includes a first housing, a second housing, and a base. The first housing and the base together define a first chamber, and the second housing and the base together define a second chamber. The heat exchanger includes a first heat exchanger and a second heat exchanger. The first chamber is used to accommodate the first heat exchanger, and the second chamber is used to accommodate the second heat exchanger. The first and second housings are spaced apart, and an intermediate pipeline connects the first and second heat exchangers, allowing refrigerant to flow between the two heat exchangers.

[0047] Compared to the situation where the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are located in the same shell, the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger of the present application are located in the first shell and the second shell respectively, and the first shell and the second shell are spaced apart. On the one hand, the first shell and the second shell themselves prevent the heat of the first heat exchanger from affecting the second heat exchanger; on the other hand, the space between the first shell and the second shell further prevents the heat of the first heat exchanger from affecting the second heat exchanger. Therefore, the design of the present application can effectively isolate the working environment of the two heat exchangers and avoid mutual interference. This design further ensures that when the first heat exchanger and the second heat exchanger are working, the heat generated by the two will not affect each other, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of each other, that is, the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchanger itself is improved, that is, the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner as a whole is improved.

Limiting L to such a range can, on the one hand, reduce the impact of the heat generated by the first shell covering the first heat exchanger on the second heat exchanger, and on the other hand, the overall structure of the air conditioner is compact and occupies less space.

[0071] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0072] In the related art, the performance of an air conditioner's evaporator and condenser often affect each other. Specifically, the air conditioner's heat exchanger is typically located within the same chamber, for example, the evaporator and condenser are both located within the same chamber. In this case, when the evaporator's heat exchange efficiency decreases, the refrigerant absorbs less heat, causing the refrigerant temperature entering the condenser to increase, further affecting the condenser's heat dissipation efficiency. Conversely, a decrease in condenser efficiency also indirectly leads to a decrease in the evaporator's heat exchange efficiency. This situation results in low air conditioner heat exchange efficiency.

[0073] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 9 , to describe the air conditioner 10 of the present application. Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, specifically, the air conditioner 10 of the present application includes a housing assembly 100 and a heat exchange assembly 200. The housing assembly 100 includes a first housing 110, a second housing 120, and a base 130. The first housing 110 and the base 130 together define a first chamber 111, and the second housing 120 and the base 130 together define a second chamber 121. The heat exchanger includes a first heat exchanger 210 and a second heat exchanger 220. The first chamber 111 is used to accommodate the first heat exchanger 210, and the second chamber 121 is used to accommodate the second heat exchanger 220. Furthermore, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are spaced apart, and an intermediate pipe 230 connects the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220, allowing refrigerant to flow between the two heat exchangers.

[0074] Compared to the case where the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are located in the same housing, the first heat exchanger 210, the first air supply assembly 400, the second air supply assembly 500, and the second heat exchanger 210 of the present application are arranged sequentially. The first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are located in the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, respectively, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are separated. On the one hand, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 themselves prevent the heat from the first heat exchanger 210 from affecting the second heat exchanger 220; on the other hand, the separation between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 further prevents the heat from the first heat exchanger 210 from affecting the second heat exchanger 220. Therefore, the design of the present application can effectively isolate the working environments of the two heat exchangers and prevent mutual interference. This design further ensures that the heat generated by the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 during operation does not affect each other, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of each other, that is, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 10 itself, that is, improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 10. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are respectively located at opposite ends of the first shell 110 and the second shell 120. The distance between the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 is larger, and the heat impact between them is weaker.

[0075] Furthermore, in the present application, the minimum distance L between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 satisfies L≥20mm. For example, L can be 20mm, 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 70mm, etc. Limiting L to such a range can better cover the heat impact generated by the first shell 110 of the first heat exchanger 210 on the second heat exchanger 220, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0076] Regarding the first housing 110 and the base 130 jointly defining the first chamber 111, it is understood that in some embodiments, the first housing 110 is an open shell, and the opening of the first housing 110 is covered by the base 130, thereby forming a closed first chamber 111. The second housing 120 and the base 130 jointly define the second chamber 121. It is understood that the second housing 120 is an open shell, and the opening of the second housing 120 is covered by the base 130, thereby forming a closed second chamber 121. The first heat exchanger 210 is disposed within the first chamber 111. Because the first chamber 111 is closed, the heat of the first heat exchanger 210 is difficult to dissipate to the surrounding area, and therefore the heat of the first heat exchanger 210 is difficult to affect the second heat exchanger 220. Furthermore, the heat of the second heat exchanger 220 is difficult to pass through the first housing 110 to affect the first heat exchanger 210. The second heat exchanger 220 is arranged in the second chamber 121. Since the second chamber 121 is closed, the heat of the second heat exchanger 220 is difficult to diffuse to the surroundings, so the heat of the second heat exchanger 220 is difficult to affect the first heat exchanger 210; and the heat of the first heat exchanger 210 is difficult to affect the first heat exchanger 210 through the second shell 120.

[0077] It is understood that the purpose of separating the first and second shells 110, 120 is to hinder heat exchange between the first and second shells 110, 120, thereby indirectly affecting the first heat exchanger 210 or the second heat exchanger 220. It is also understood that when the first and second shells 110, 120 are separated, the medium for heat conduction between them is air, which has poor thermal conductivity. Therefore, the mutual heat influence between the first and second shells 110, 120 is reduced. Therefore, the addition of other insulating materials or a medium with lower thermal conductivity between the first and second shells 110, 120 is within the scope of this solution.

[0078] The first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are both connected to the same side of the base 130, which makes the overall structure of the air conditioner 10 more regular and facilitates the installation of the air conditioner 10 and the heat exchange assembly 200. Of course, it is understandable that in some embodiments, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are respectively located on opposite sides of the base 130. Such an arrangement further increases the distance between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, thereby further reducing the impact of the heat of the first heat exchanger 210 on the second heat exchanger 220, and further reducing the impact of the heat of the second heat exchanger 220 on the first heat exchanger 210.

[0079] It is understood that the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be of various shapes, as long as the minimum distance L between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 always satisfies L ≥ 20 mm. For example, the first housing 110 can be square, the second housing 120 can be square, the first housing 110 can be hemispherical, the second housing 120 can be hemispherical, the first housing 110 can be a special-shaped housing, and the second housing 120 can be a special-shaped housing. It is understood that in some embodiments, the shapes of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are different to accommodate the installation space of the air conditioner 10; in some embodiments, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 have the same shape and substantially the same size to facilitate mass production and reduce production costs.

[0080] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the minimum spacing L between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be adjusted appropriately based on actual needs, but must be no less than 20 mm. A larger spacing facilitates air circulation, reduces heat conduction between the two housings, and improves the overall efficiency of the air conditioner 10. This design also provides maintenance personnel with greater operating space, facilitating routine maintenance and inspection work.

[0081] The base 130 can be made of a variety of materials, such as metal or high-strength plastic, to ensure its load-bearing capacity and stability. The base 130 can be designed as a flat plate or with ribs to enhance its rigidity and resistance to deformation. The base 130 can be connected to the first and second housings 110 and 120 by screw fastening, welding, or other reliable fixing methods to ensure a secure and reliable connection.

[0082] In some embodiments, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 can be made of materials with good thermal insulation properties, such as aluminum alloy or composite materials, to reduce heat transfer and improve the energy efficiency of the air conditioner 10. In addition, the housing surface can also be specially treated, such as spraying or electroplating, to enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetics.

[0083] It is understood that the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 can be of different or the same type, and the most appropriate heat exchanger type should be selected based on the specific operating principle and operating environment of the air conditioner 10. The design of the heat exchanger should fully consider heat exchange efficiency and durability, and adopt a high-efficiency fin structure or microchannel structure to increase the heat exchange area and improve heat exchange efficiency.

[0084] It is understood that the design of intermediate pipeline 230 should consider its connection reliability and smooth fluid flow. Pipe materials can be corrosion-resistant and pressure-resistant, such as copper or stainless steel, to ensure long-term operational stability. The connection between intermediate pipeline 230 and the heat exchanger should be well sealed to prevent refrigerant leakage.

[0085] Through the above structural design, the air conditioner 10 not only has a high heat exchange efficiency, but also can ensure long-term stable operation. At the same time, its compact design also enables it to adapt to various installation environments.

[0086] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, specifically, the minimum distance L between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 satisfies the following: 20 mm ≤ L ≤ 50 mm. For example, L is 20 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, or 50 mm. This design not only saves space on the air conditioner 10, but also provides a good thermal insulation effect between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120.

[0087] Of course, it is understood that in some embodiments, the thermal insulation effect can be further enhanced by filling the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 with thermal insulation material. For example, polyurethane foam, fiberglass, or other materials with low thermal conductivity can be used to fill the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to reduce heat transfer. In addition, by optimizing the shape and size of the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the thermal insulation performance of the air conditioner 10 can be further improved.

[0088] It is of course understood that in some embodiments, reference Figures 4 to 6 The direction from the first housing 110 to the second housing 120 is the first direction X, the direction from the first housing 110 to the base 130 is the second direction Y, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. Along the third direction Z, airflow between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is not significantly obstructed by the first housing 110 or the second housing 120. Specifically, the first projection plane is perpendicular to the third direction Z, the first housing 110 forms a first orthographic projection on the first projection plane, and the second housing 120 forms a second orthographic projection on the first projection plane. The minimum spacing M between the first and second orthographic projections satisfies the following: 20 mm ≤ M ≤ 50 mm. For example, M can be 20 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, or 50 mm.

[0089] The spacing between the first orthographic projection and the second orthographic projection means that when viewed along the third direction Z, the line of sight at the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 is not blocked by the sidewalls of the first housing 110 or the second housing 120. Therefore, airflow can flow smoothly between the first housing 110 or the second housing 120. When airflow in the environment passes through the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, it can carry away some of the heat dissipated from the first housing 110 and / or some of the heat dissipated from the second housing 120, further enhancing the thermal insulation effect of the air conditioner 10 and improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the air conditioner 10.

[0090] Of course, it is understandable that the spacing between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 and the side wall shape of the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 can be further adjusted to balance the flow rate of the ambient air flow between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 and the spacing between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120, so as to obtain a more preferred design.

[0091] Reference Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the air conditioner 10 further includes a heat insulation module 300, which is disposed between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to enhance the heat insulation performance of the air conditioner 10. The presence of the heat insulation module 300 can effectively block the heat transfer path between the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, reducing heat transfer through the air between the housings, thereby improving the overall heat insulation effect of the air conditioner 10. By providing the heat insulation module 300 between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, the heat exchange caused by the temperature difference between the chambers can be reduced, thereby improving the heat insulation performance of the air conditioner 10, reducing energy loss, improving the energy efficiency ratio, and thus reducing energy consumption. Better heat insulation performance means better temperature control capabilities, thereby providing users with a more comfortable user experience.

[0092] It is understood that in some embodiments, the insulation module 300 is not limited to a single structural form, and its specific structure can be adjusted according to actual needs. For example, the insulation module 300 can be a plate or sheet structure made of foam, fiber, or other materials with good thermal insulation properties, or a composite insulation module 300 including multiple small unit structures.

[0093] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, the design and arrangement of the insulation module 300 can further optimize the thermal insulation performance of the air conditioner 10. Specifically, the insulation module 300 includes but is not limited to a plate-like structure, a sheet-like structure, a composite material structure and the like. According to the requirements of different application scenarios, the insulation module 300 can have different structural forms and material selections to meet the insulation requirements in different environments. The insulation module 300 can also adopt a multi-layer composite structure design, such as a sandwich panel structure filled with an air layer inside to enhance the thermal insulation effect. In addition, the insulation module 300 can also be made of materials with good thermal insulation properties, such as polyurethane foam, fiberglass, etc. The composite structure design and the selection of high-quality materials enable the insulation module 300 to more effectively isolate the heat transfer between the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance.

[0094] The thermal insulation module 300 can be fixed between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 by snapping, bonding, etc. to ensure its stability and reliability. By adopting a simple installation method, the thermal insulation module 300 is easy to disassemble and replace, which is beneficial to daily maintenance.

[0095] In some embodiments, the direction from the first shell 110 to the second shell 120 is the first direction X, the second projection plane is perpendicular to the first direction X, the first shell 110 forms a third orthographic projection on the second projection plane, the second shell 120 forms a fourth orthographic projection on the second projection plane, and the thermal insulation module 300 forms a fifth orthographic projection on the second projection plane. The area S1 of the third orthographic projection, the area S2 of the fourth orthographic projection, and the area S3 of the fifth orthographic projection satisfy: 3S3≥S1, and / or 3S3≥S2.

[0096] The area S3 of the fifth orthographic projection, compared with the area S1 of the third orthographic projection and the area S2 of the fourth orthographic projection, satisfies the condition 3S3 ≥ S1 or 3S3 ≥ S2. This means that the projected area of the thermal insulation module 300 on the second projection plane is at least one-third of the projected area of the first shell 110 or the second shell 120. This design ensures that the thermal insulation module 300 can effectively cover most of the gap between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120, thereby improving the thermal insulation effect. Better thermal insulation helps reduce the energy consumption of the air conditioner 10 and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0097] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the specific design of the thermal insulation module 300 can be adjusted based on actual needs to better meet the thermal insulation requirements of the air conditioner 10. The thermal insulation module 300 can be customized based on the shape of the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to ensure better fit and coverage, thereby reducing heat leakage. The thickness of the thermal insulation module 300 can be adjusted based on actual needs to meet specific thermal insulation performance requirements.

[0098] Reference Figure 8 In some embodiments, the thermal insulation module 300 includes a filter box 310, which includes a box body 311 and a filter assembly located in the box body 311. The filter water box is used to filter the condensed water generated in the air conditioner 10. The filter box 310 is composed of the box body 311 and the filter assembly. The box body 311 has a water inlet and a water outlet, and the filter assembly is located between the water inlet and the water outlet. During the operation of the air conditioner 10, condensed water is generated. The condensed water is guided into the box body 311 of the filter box 310 and filtered by the filter assembly. The filter box 310 can effectively remove impurities in the condensed water and improve the water quality of the condensed water. By filtering the condensed water, the pipes can be prevented from being clogged by impurities, thereby extending the service life of the air conditioner 10. The filtered condensed water can be safely discharged or reused, reducing environmental pollution.

[0099] In addition, the filter box 310 is configured as an insulation module 300 and has the following advantages. First, condensed water passes through the filter box 310, and the condensed water will have a heat-insulating effect; the side wall of the second filter box 310 can be separated from the first shell 110 and the second shell 120, or the side wall of the filter box 310 can use heat-resistant materials to consolidate the heat-insulating effect; third, the filter box 310 contains filter cotton, filter particles and other substances, which have heat-insulating effects, so that the filter box 310 can further enhance the heat-insulating effect.

[0100] It is understood that in some embodiments, the housing 311 of the filter box 310 can be made of corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term use without erosion by condensed water. The filter assembly can include a multi-stage filtration structure, such as a primary filter screen and an activated carbon filter element, to achieve a more thorough filtration effect. Furthermore, materials with good filtration performance and thermal insulation properties can be selected to fully utilize the heat insulation function of the filter box 310.

[0101] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the filter element in the filter assembly is designed to be replaceable, allowing users to replace it regularly and ensuring effective filtration. By adopting a multi-stage filtration structure, impurities in the condensed water can be more thoroughly removed, improving water quality. The corrosion-resistant design of the box 311 and the replaceable filter element can extend the service life of the filter box 310. The replaceable filter element design allows users to easily perform maintenance operations, ensuring the continued effectiveness of the filtration system.

[0102] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the base 130 defines a first water storage chamber, and the filter box 310 is used to obtain condensed water collected in the first water storage chamber and filter the condensed water. The water storage chamber is provided within the base 130 rather than being provided separately, which helps save space in the air conditioner 10.

[0103] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the air conditioner 10 further includes a water receiving tray defining a second water storage chamber. The filter box 310 is used to collect condensed water from the second water storage chamber and filter the condensed water. During operation, the air conditioner 10 generates condensed water, which is directed into the housing 311 of the filter box 310 and filtered by the filter assembly. The primary purpose of the filter box 310 is to remove impurities from the condensed water, improve water quality, and prevent pipe blockage or environmental pollution.

[0104] Reference Figure 5 In some embodiments, the housing 311 is provided with a water inlet and a water outlet. The water inlet is located on the side of the housing 311 near the first housing 110, and the water outlet is located on the side of the housing 311 near the second housing 120. A filter assembly is provided between the water inlet and the water outlet to filter condensed water in a direction from the first housing 110 to the second housing 120. With this design, when the first heat exchanger 210 is an evaporator (cold) and the second heat exchanger 220 is a condenser (hot), the condensed water generated by the evaporator is located on the side near the evaporator, which reduces the loss of cooling energy and improves the thermal insulation effect.

[0105] In some embodiments, the water inlet is located on the side of the housing 311 away from the base 130, the water outlet is located on the side of the housing 311 close to the base 130, and the filter assembly is provided between the water inlet and the water outlet to filter the condensed water along the direction from the first shell 110 to the base 130. The condensed water enters the housing 311 from the water inlet, is filtered by the filter assembly, and is discharged from the water outlet. The setting of the filter assembly allows the condensed water to be filtered along the direction from the first shell 110 to the base 130. Through the filtering action of the filter assembly, impurities in the condensed water can be effectively removed and the water quality can be improved. The filtered condensed water is not easy to clog the drainage pipe, which reduces maintenance costs. Clean condensed water can be discharged safely, reducing pollution to the environment.

[0106] In some embodiments, the filter box 310 is spaced apart from the base 130 and includes a connecting portion 312 that extends from the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, away from the base 130. A connecting member extends parallel to the surface of the base 130 facing the first housing 110 or the second housing 120 and extends through the gap between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. The connecting member connects the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, respectively, to strengthen the structure of the air conditioner 10. Specifically, the connecting portion 312 abuts the end of the first housing 110 facing away from the base 130, and / or the connecting portion 312 abuts the end of the second housing 120 facing away from the base 130. The connecting member has a through hole, and the first and second housings 110, 120 have threaded holes corresponding to the through holes. Threaded fasteners pass through the through holes and engage with the threaded holes to connect the connecting member to the first and second housings 110, 120.

[0107] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, the air conditioner 10 further includes a compressor 600, which is disposed in the second chamber 121. The thermal insulation module 300 at least partially covers the compressor 600 in a direction from the first housing 110 toward the second housing 120. The thermal insulation module 300 functions to reduce heat conduction between the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, particularly to reduce the transfer of heat generated by the compressor 600 during operation to the first chamber 111. The thermal insulation module 300 at least partially covers the compressor 600, thereby reducing the impact of the heat generated by the compressor 600 on the first chamber 111.

[0108] By reducing the impact of heat generated by the compressor 600 on the first chamber 111, the overall energy efficiency of the air conditioner 10 can be improved. The thermal insulation module 300 also provides a certain degree of sound insulation, reducing the transmission of noise generated by the operation of the compressor 600. Reducing heat transfer helps lower the temperature of components within the first chamber 111, extending the service life of the air conditioner 10.

[0109] It is understandable that, in some embodiments, the specific design of the thermal insulation module 300 can be adjusted according to actual needs to better achieve the thermal insulation effect.

[0110] It is understood that in some embodiments, the thermal insulation module 300 includes, but is not limited to, a plate-like or sheet-like structure made of foam, fiber material, or composite material. The thermal insulation module 300 can be designed to cover the top or side of the compressor 600, or even surround multiple surfaces of the compressor 600 to minimize heat transfer.

[0111] Reference Figure 5In some embodiments, the first heat exchanger 210 is located on a side of the first chamber 111 facing away from the second housing 120, and the second heat exchanger 220 is located on a side of the second chamber 121 facing away from the first housing 110. The first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are located on opposite sides of the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, respectively. That is, the distance between the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 is greater, which can further ensure that the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are not directly affected by each other during heat exchange, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0112] Reference Figure 1 In some embodiments, specifically, the air conditioner 10 further includes a first air supply assembly 400, which generates airflow for heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 210. The first air supply assembly 400 is disposed on a side of the first heat exchanger 210 near the second housing 120. The air conditioner 10 further includes a second air supply assembly 500, which generates airflow for heat exchange with the second heat exchanger 220. The second air supply assembly 500 is disposed on a side of the second heat exchanger 220 near the first housing 110. This configuration provides a larger space at the air outlet end of the first air supply assembly 400 or the second air supply assembly 500, enabling better airflow and thereby facilitating heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 210 or the second heat exchanger 220.

[0113] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the first air supply assembly 400 includes a fan and a shroud. The fan is located within the first chamber 111, and the shroud is positioned around the fan to guide airflow through the first heat exchanger 210. The fan rotates to generate airflow, which, after being guided by the shroud, undergoes heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 210, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. The shroud further concentrates the airflow, effectively improving airflow distribution and ensuring uniform airflow through the first heat exchanger 210, thereby enhancing heat exchange efficiency. The second air supply assembly 500 also includes a fan and a shroud. The fan is located within the second chamber 121, and the shroud is positioned around the fan to guide airflow through the second heat exchanger 220. The fan rotates to generate airflow, which, after being guided by the shroud, undergoes heat exchange with the second heat exchanger 220, thereby improving heat exchange efficiency. The shroud further concentrates the airflow, effectively improving airflow distribution and ensuring uniform airflow through the second heat exchanger 220, thereby enhancing heat exchange efficiency.

[0114] It is understood that in some embodiments, various types of fans, such as axial flow fans and cross-flow fans, can be used in the first air supply assembly 400 and the second air supply assembly 500. Different fan types are suitable for different working environments based on their characteristics. Axial flow fans are suitable for larger airflow volumes, while cross-flow fans are more suitable for smaller spaces and have lower noise levels.

[0115] It is understood that the fan in the first air supply assembly 400 or the second air supply assembly 500 can be designed in a variable frequency mode, adjusting the air volume by changing the motor speed, thereby controlling the airflow intensity for heat exchange with the first heat exchanger 210, thereby better adapting to different working environments and requirements. Furthermore, the fan blade shape can also be optimized according to actual conditions to improve airflow efficiency and reduce noise.

[0116] It is understandable that the air duct can be designed into a variety of shapes, such as conical, cylindrical, etc., to adapt to different spatial layouts and airflow requirements. The design of the air duct should fully consider the uniformity and guidance of the airflow to ensure that the airflow can effectively pass through the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency. In addition, the air duct can also be made of sound-absorbing material to reduce the noise generated during operation. The coordinated use of the fan and the air duct in the first air supply assembly 400 and the second air supply assembly 500 can not only ensure that the airflow passes through the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 evenly, but also effectively reduce noise, thereby improving the user experience.

[0117] In some embodiments, the base 130 includes a sheet metal layer and a plastic layer stacked and connected to each other, and the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are both located on the side of the plastic layer away from the sheet metal layer. The base 130 includes a sheet metal layer and a plastic layer, wherein the sheet metal layer is located at the bottom of the base 130, and the plastic layer is located above the sheet metal layer and is stacked and connected to the sheet metal layer. The sheet metal layer provides sufficient structural strength and stability, while the plastic layer has good insulation properties and processing convenience. The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are installed on the side of the plastic layer away from the sheet metal layer, that is, on the top of the plastic layer. Such a design makes the overall structure more compact, and at the same time, the combination of the sheet metal layer and the plastic layer not only ensures the structural robustness, but also reduces manufacturing costs. It is understandable that the first and second shells 120 can be connected to the plastic layer or the sheet metal layer, or both.

[0118] It will be appreciated that in some embodiments, the sheet metal layer and the plastic layer may be secured together by welding, bolting, or other suitable connection methods. The sheet metal layer is typically constructed of a metal sheet of a certain thickness, such as galvanized steel or aluminum, to ensure that the base 130 is strong enough to withstand the weight of the air conditioner 10. The plastic layer may be constructed of an engineering plastic with good weather and aging resistance, such as ABS or PC, to reduce overall weight and enhance the appearance.

[0119] To further improve the structural stability of the base 130 and reduce noise, a shock-absorbing material, such as a rubber pad or foam plastic, can be filled between the sheet metal layer and the plastic layer. These shock-absorbing materials help absorb vibrations, reduce noise generated during operation of the air conditioner 10, and improve the user experience.

[0120] Furthermore, the plastic layer can be designed with reinforcing ribs to enhance its rigidity and prevent deformation during prolonged use. The ribs can be arranged in a crisscross grid pattern or in a custom shape tailored to the internal structure of the air conditioner 10. By properly arranging the ribs, the strength of the plastic layer can be maintained while reducing weight and improving the stability of the overall structure.

[0121] In summary, the combined sheet metal and plastic layers of base 130 not only provide sufficient structural strength but also reduce costs and enhance the overall performance of air conditioner 10. By selecting appropriate materials and employing a rational structural design, air conditioner 10 not only ensures stability and durability but also effectively reduces noise and enhances user comfort.

[0122] In some embodiments, a groove is provided on the wall of the plastic layer facing away from the sheet metal layer. One end of the groove connects to the first chamber 111 and the other end connects to the second chamber 121. The intermediate pipeline 230 is at least partially located within the groove. The groove is provided on the outer wall of the plastic layer, extending along the length of the plastic layer, with its ends connected to the first chamber 111 and the second chamber 121, respectively. The intermediate pipeline 230 is partially or entirely placed within the groove to facilitate pipeline layout and maintenance. The groove design effectively conceals the intermediate pipeline 230, preventing it from being exposed, thereby improving the aesthetics and safety of the air conditioner 10.

[0123] It is understood that in some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the groove can be rectangular, circular, or elliptical, etc., and is selected based on the actual size and shape of the intermediate pipeline 230. The depth and width of the groove need to match the intermediate pipeline 230 to ensure that the pipeline can be firmly installed in the groove and prevent the pipeline from loosening or falling off due to vibration and other reasons.

[0124] The edge of the groove may be provided with a sealing strip to seal the intermediate pipe 230 when it is installed in the groove, preventing condensed water or other substances from entering the groove and affecting the working performance of the intermediate pipe 230. The sealing strip may be made of rubber or silicone material, which has good elasticity and durability.

[0125] A support member can be installed inside the groove to increase its structural strength and prevent deformation caused by the weight of the intermediate pipe 230. The support member can be a metal or plastic sheet, and its shape and size should be compatible with the groove. The support member can effectively disperse the pressure from the intermediate pipe 230 on the groove, extending the service life of the groove.

[0126] A cover plate may be provided at the opening of the groove, and the cover plate may be fixed to the groove by means of snaps or screws, so that the cover plate can be opened when necessary to inspect and maintain the intermediate pipe 230. The material of the cover plate may be the same as that of the plastic layer to maintain the consistency of the appearance of the air conditioner 10.

[0127] Through the design of the above embodiment, the groove can not only effectively hide the intermediate pipeline 230 and improve the aesthetics of the air conditioner 10, but also ensure the stability and reliability of the intermediate pipeline 230 through structures such as sealing strips and support parts, while facilitating the maintenance and replacement of the pipeline, thereby improving the practicality and user experience of the air conditioner 10.

[0128] Reference Figures 4 to 9 In some embodiments, the direction from the first housing 110 to the second housing 120 is a first direction X, the direction from the first housing 110 to the base 130 is a second direction Y, and the third direction Z is perpendicular to the first direction X and the second direction Y. The air conditioner 10 satisfies at least one of the following conditions:

[0129] a) Along the first direction X, a width dimension A1 of the first housing 110 satisfies: 260 mm ≤ A1 ≤ 300 mm, for example, A1 is 260 mm, 270 mm, 280 mm, 290 mm, 300 mm, etc.;

[0130] b) Along the first direction X, a width dimension A2 of the second housing 120 satisfies: 260 mm ≤ A2 ≤ 300 mm, for example, A2 is 260 mm, 270 mm, 280 mm, 290 mm, 300 mm, etc.;

[0131] c) Along the second direction Y, a height dimension B1 of the base 130 satisfies the following: 20 mm ≤ B1 ≤ 80 mm, for example, B1 is 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, 80 mm, etc.;

[0132] d) A filter box 310 is provided between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120. The filter box 310 is spaced apart from the base 130. Along the second direction Y, a minimum gap B2 between the filter box 310 and the base 130 satisfies the following requirement: 20 mm ≤ B2. For example, B2 is 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, etc.

[0133] e) Along the third direction Z, a length dimension C1 of the first housing 110 satisfies: 500 mm ≤ C1 ≤ 600 mm, for example, C1 is 500 mm, 520 mm, 540 mm, 560 mm, 580 mm, 600 mm, etc.;

[0134] f) Along the third direction Z, the length dimension C2 of the second shell 120 satisfies: 500 mm≤C2≤600 mm, for example, C2 is 500 mm, 520 mm, 540 mm, 560 mm, 580 mm, 600 mm, etc.

[0135] The width A1 of the first housing 110 is between 260 mm and 300 mm, and the width A2 of the second housing 120 is also between 260 mm and 300 mm. This size design allows the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 to provide sufficient space to accommodate the heat exchange assembly 200 and other internal components, while ensuring that the entire air conditioner 10 has a moderate size for easy installation and maintenance.

[0136] The height dimension B1 of the base 130 is between 20 mm and 80 mm. Such a height design ensures the structural stability of the base 130 and also provides sufficient support for the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, so that the entire air conditioner 10 can be firmly installed in the desired position.

[0137] The minimum gap B2 between the filter box 310 and the base 130 is between 20 mm and 50 mm. This design ensures that the filter box 310 can be effectively installed between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120, while maintaining a certain gap between the filter box 310 and the base 130, which is conducive to the collection and filtration of condensed water and facilitates subsequent maintenance and cleaning.

[0138] The length C1 of the first housing 110 is between 500 mm and 600 mm, and the length C2 of the second housing 120 is also between 500 mm and 600 mm. This length design ensures sufficient space inside the first and second housings 110, 120 for accommodating the heat exchanger and other components, while also making the overall appearance of the air conditioner 10 more coordinated and easier to install in various environments.

[0139] It will be appreciated that, in some embodiments, the selection of widths A1 and A2 of the first and second housings 110, 120 should not only consider the layout requirements of the internal components, but also the overall design and aesthetics of the air conditioner 10. For example, if the widths of the first and second housings 110, 120 are designed to be too wide, they may occupy excessive space resources, while if they are too narrow, they may affect the layout of the internal components and the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, selecting a width between 260mm and 300mm is a relatively ideal balance.

[0140] In addition to ensuring structural stability, the height dimension B1 of the base 130 should also take into account the aesthetics of the air conditioner 10 after installation. A base 130 that is too high or too low may make the air conditioner 10 look unbalanced. Therefore, selecting a height dimension between 20 mm and 80 mm can ensure the structural stability of the base 130 while also improving the overall appearance of the air conditioner 10.

[0141] The minimum clearance B2 between the filter box 310 and the base 130 must not only ensure smooth installation of the filter box 310 but also facilitate subsequent maintenance. If the clearance is too small, the filter box 310 may be difficult to remove for cleaning or replacement; if the clearance is too large, the filter box 310 may become unstable during use. Therefore, a minimum clearance of 20 mm to 50 mm ensures both secure installation and easy maintenance.

[0142] The lengths C1 and C2 of the first and second housings 110 and 120 should be selected based on a comprehensive consideration of factors such as the performance requirements, internal component layout, and exterior design of the air conditioner 10. A length that is too short may not accommodate the layout requirements of all components, while a length that is too long may cause the air conditioner 10 to occupy too much space. Choosing a length between 500mm and 600mm ensures sufficient internal space without making the air conditioner 10 appear too bulky.

[0143] The above-mentioned size design not only ensures the reasonable layout of the internal components of the air conditioner 10, but also ensures the structural stability and aesthetic appearance of the air conditioner 10, thereby improving the user experience.

[0144] Reference Figures 1 to 5 The embodiment of the second aspect of the present application provides another air conditioner 10, which includes a housing assembly 100 and a heat exchange assembly 200. The housing assembly 100 includes a base 130, a first housing 110, and a second housing 120. The first housing 110 defines a first chamber 111, and the second housing 120 defines a second chamber 121. The first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are connected to the same side of the base 130, and the second housing 120 is spaced apart from the first housing 110. The heat exchange assembly 200 includes a first heat exchanger 210, a second heat exchanger 220, and an intermediate pipeline 230. The first heat exchanger 210 is disposed in the first chamber 111, and the second heat exchanger 220 is disposed in the second chamber 121. One end of the intermediate pipeline 230 extends into the first chamber 111 and communicates with the first heat exchanger 210, and the other end extends into the second chamber 121 and communicates with the second heat exchanger 220. The minimum distance L between the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 satisfies: L≥20 mm. For example, L can be 20 mm, 30 mm, 40 mm, 50 mm, 60 mm, 70 mm, etc.

[0145] The first shell 110 and the second shell 120 in this embodiment are closed shells, which are different from the open shells in the aforementioned embodiments. That is, both the open shells and the closed shells are applicable to the air conditioner 10 of this application.

[0146] Regarding the air conditioner 10 according to the second embodiment of the present application, it is understood that the housing assembly 100 includes a base 130, a first housing 110, and a second housing 120. The first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are respectively connected to the same side of the base 130 and maintain a certain distance from each other. The first housing 110 and the base 130 enclose a first chamber 111, and the second housing 120 and the base 130 enclose a second chamber 121. This structural design allows the heat exchange assembly 200 to be placed in two independent chambers, which is conducive to efficient heat exchange. The heat exchange assembly 200 includes a first heat exchanger 210, a second heat exchanger 220, and an intermediate pipeline 230. The first heat exchanger 210 is disposed in the first chamber 111, and the second heat exchanger 220 is disposed in the second chamber 121. One end of the intermediate pipeline 230 extends into the first chamber 111 and is connected to the first heat exchanger 210, and the other end extends into the second chamber 121 and is connected to the second heat exchanger 220. The function of the intermediate pipeline 230 is to connect the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 through a fluid medium (such as condensed water or refrigerant), thereby forming a complete circulation system and ensuring the normal operation of the air conditioner 10.

[0147] Compared to the case where the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are located in the same housing, in this embodiment, the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are located in the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 respectively, and the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 are spaced apart. On the one hand, the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 themselves prevent the heat of the first heat exchanger 210 from affecting the second heat exchanger 220; on the other hand, the space between the first housing 110 and the second housing 120 further prevents the heat of the first heat exchanger 210 from affecting the second heat exchanger 220. Therefore, the design of the present application can effectively isolate the working environment of the two heat exchangers and avoid mutual interference. This design further ensures that when the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 are working, the heat generated by the two will not affect each other, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of each other, that is, the heat exchange efficiency of the first heat exchanger itself is improved, that is, the overall heat exchange efficiency of the air conditioner 10 is improved.

[0148] It should be noted that the air conditioner 10 in any of the above embodiments is suitable for installation on the ceiling.

[0149] The embodiment of the third aspect of the present utility model provides an air conditioner assembly, which includes the air conditioner 10 of any of the aforementioned embodiments. The air conditioner assembly also includes a connector, one end of which is connected to the air conditioner 10, and the other end is suitable for connecting to the ceiling, so as to hang the air conditioner 10 on the ceiling. Specifically, after the air conditioner 10 is hung on the ceiling, it can abut the ceiling or be arranged with a gap between the ceiling. In one embodiment, the air conditioner assembly can be used in a room with a suspended ceiling, and the ceiling of the room is connected to the ceiling panels arranged with a gap under the ceiling. After the air conditioner 10 is hung on the ceiling, the first shell 110 and the second shell 120 are basically located in the compartment between the ceiling panel and the ceiling, and the base 130 of the air conditioner 10 is basically flush with the ceiling panel, or slightly above the ceiling panel, or slightly below the ceiling panel. In a further embodiment, the air conditioner assembly can be suspended from the kitchen ceiling. Since hot air rises when cooking in the kitchen, the heat at the position of the air conditioner 10 is higher, and the first heat exchanger 210 and the second heat exchanger 220 need to be insulated to improve the cooling efficiency of the air conditioner.

[0150] It should be noted that if directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are involved in the embodiments of this application, such directional indications are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. When a directional reference is introduced in a specific embodiment, unless the direction is specifically limited to unidirectional, the direction can be unidirectional or bidirectional (two parallel and opposite directions). Whether it is unidirectional or bidirectional is based on the ability of ordinary technicians in this field to implement it.
