[0012] Figure 3 for Figure 1 Enlarged view of position B in the middle. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, the utility model includes a shell 1, an electronic control system 2, an air supply system and a refrigeration system. The electronic control system 2 controls the operation of the air conditioner. A vertical partition 3 is installed in the shell 1. The partition 3 divides the shell 1 into a first chamber 4 and a second chamber 5 that are independent of each other. The first chamber 4 is a closed space. The second chamber 5 has an air inlet 6 on the top and an air outlet 7 on the bottom; the electronic control system 2 is installed in the first chamber 4. The electronic control system 2 does not come into contact with the dust environment and can avoid dust explosions caused by the circuit; the air supply system includes a cylindrical cross-flow fan 8, which is located in the second chamber 5. One end of the rotating shaft 9 of the cross-flow fan 8 passes through the partition 3 and extends into the first chamber 4 and is connected to a drive motor 10. The drive motor 10 drives the cross-flow fan The fan 8 rotates, sucking air into the shell 1 from the air inlet 6 and then blowing it out from the air outlet 7. A sealing unit is installed between the rotating shaft 9 and the partition 3; the refrigeration system includes a copper tube 11, which passes through the first chamber 4 from the outside of the shell 1 and then enters the second chamber 5, and is arranged in an S shape on the outside of the cross-flow fan 8 in the second chamber 5, and then passes through the first chamber 4 and out of the shell 1. The positions where the copper tube 11 enters and exits the first chamber 4 are sealed with sealant. The copper tube 11 exchanges heat with the air sucked into the shell 1, so that the air is cooled and then blown out of the shell 1 for cooling; an insulating sleeve 12 is installed on the section of the copper tube 11 passing through the first chamber 4 to prevent the heat absorbed by the copper tube 11 in the second chamber 5 from dissipating into the first chamber 4.

[0014] The sealing unit includes a stepped hole 13 opened on the partition 3, the rotating shaft 9 passes through the stepped hole 13 into the first chamber 4, and the rotating shaft 9 cooperates with the stepped hole 13 through a bearing, and a sealing ring 14 is installed between the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 and the inner wall of the stepped hole 13. An annular sleeve 15 is screwed on the end of the stepped hole 13 close to the second chamber 5, and a compression spring 16 is installed between the annular sleeve 15 and the sealing ring 14. The compression spring 16 presses the sealing ring 14 on the stepped surface of the stepped hole 13. Under the extrusion action of the compression spring 16, the sealing ring 14 expands radially and seals with the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 and the inner wall of the stepped hole 13, and the preload force of the compression spring 16 can compensate for the wear of the sealing ring 14.

[0015] A heat-conducting sleeve 17 is mounted on the section of the copper tube 11 that penetrates the first chamber 4. The heat-conducting sleeve 17 can improve the heat exchange efficiency between the low-temperature refrigerant in the copper tube 11 and the first chamber 4, cool the first chamber 4, and prevent the temperature in the first chamber 4 from continuing to rise due to heat generated by the electronic control system 2 and the drive motor 10.

[0016] A plurality of heat conducting plates 18 are fixed to the outer wall of the heat conducting sleeve 17 , which can further improve the heat exchange efficiency between the first chamber 4 and the copper tube 11 .

[0017] The air inlet 6 is provided with a dust filter plate 19, which can prevent a large amount of dust from entering the housing 1, and prevent the cross-flow fan 8 and the copper tube 11 from being covered with dust, thereby reducing the air supply volume and heat exchange efficiency; the dust filter plate 19 is fixed to the housing 1 by screws and can be removed for cleaning or replacement when it is seriously clogged.

[0018] When the present invention is in use, the driving motor 10 drives the cross-flow fan 8 to rotate to supply air, and the refrigerant first passes through the first chamber 4 along the copper tube 11, and cools the first chamber 4 through the heat-conducting sleeve 17 and the heat-conducting plate 18 in the first chamber 4, and then enters the second chamber 5, exchanges heat with the air inhaled by the cross-flow fan 8 to cool the air, and finally flows back through the first chamber 4. When flowing back through the first chamber 4, the temperature of the refrigerant rises through heat exchange in the second chamber 5, and the heat-insulating sleeve 12 can prevent the copper tube 11 from dissipating heat into the first chamber 4.

[0019] Under the pressure of the compression spring 16, the sealing ring 14 can automatically compensate for wear and always maintain a good contact and sealing state with the outer wall of the rotating shaft 9 and the inner wall of the stepped hole 13. When the pressure of the compression spring 16 is insufficient, the compression spring 16 can be further compressed by screwing the annular sleeve 15 inward.

[0020] The utility model completely seals and isolates the electric control system 2 in the first chamber 4, so that the circuit is completely out of contact with the dust environment, which can effectively prevent the circuit from causing dust explosions. The copper tube 11 is used to cool the first chamber 4 to avoid overheating of the circuit, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment without causing changes in the humidity in the warehouse. The utility model has a simple structure and is economical and practical.
