[0035] Water-cooled air conditioners primarily use circulating water as a cooling medium, absorbing heat from the ambient air. Traditional water-cooled air conditioners are generally available in cabinet and wall-mounted configurations. These units typically have an outdoor unit. This split installation not only occupies a large space but also makes installation and maintenance inconvenient.

[0036] The present invention proposes a water-cooled air-conditioning structure 100 to solve the above problems.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, a water-cooled air conditioning structure 100 is proposed. This compact structure allows for use as a small- to medium-sized indoor cooling device. It also features flexibility, ease of use, and excellent cooling performance. Its primary structure comprises a cylindrical housing 1, an air guide structure, and a circulating water cooling element. Specifically, when the fan 2 on the mounting structure is working, the external hot air is introduced into the inner cavity of the shell 1 through the air inlet structure at the lower end of the shell 1, and an upward airflow is formed inside the shell 1, which is discharged to the external environment through the air outlet 11 on the upper end of the shell 1. The cooling component 3 in the circulating water cooling component is arranged at the middle path position of the upward airflow. In the process of the air flow passing through the cooling component 3, the cooling component 3 can take away part of its heat, thereby cooling it, and the air with lowered temperature is discharged upward through the air outlet 11. Taking into account that in this process, condensed water is easily generated when the hot air contacts the cooling component 3, in this embodiment, a liquid collecting component 5 is connected to the downward end of the cooling component 3, and the condensed water is collected by the liquid collecting component 5, thereby ensuring the working environment inside the entire shell 1 and enabling the entire device to operate normally.

[0038] In order to better cool down the hot air, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the cooling element 3 is configured as two cooling water tanks 31, and water is circulated to the two cooling water tanks 31 through the water supply element 4, thereby improving the cooling effect of the entire air-conditioning structure. Specifically, the manifold sections 311 in the two cooling water tanks 31 are both arranged horizontally and connected to the inner wall of the shell 1. The manifold sections 311 located at the bottom of the two cooling water tanks 31 are arranged together, and the two return pipe sections located at the top are separated to form a V-shaped cooling structure. At the same time, after such an arrangement, the multiple flat tube sections 312 all form a certain inclination angle with the vertical direction. After the hot air passes through the multiple flat tubes and condensed water is formed on the outside of the multiple flat tubes, it is conducive to the downward flow of the condensed water, thereby facilitating the collection of the condensed water in the liquid collecting element 5. The water supply element 4 can be set as an external structure, which generally includes a water tank 42 and a pump body 41. The pump body 41 connects the water tank 42 and the two cooling water tanks 31. At the same time, the two cooling water tanks 31 are connected to the water tank 42, so that water can be circulated to the two cooling water tanks 31 through the body, thereby ensuring that the two cooling water tanks 31 can maintain a lower temperature, thereby ensuring the cooling effect.

[0039] Among them, Figure 2 As shown, a water inlet 313 and a water outlet 314 are provided on the two return pipes on the same cooling water tank 31, respectively. The water outlet 314 on the manifold 311 in one cooling water tank 31 is connected to the water inlet 313 on the manifold 311 in the other cooling water tank 31. The other water inlet 313 is provided with a water inlet pipe 315, which is connected to the output end of the water supply element 4. The other water outlet 314 is provided with a water outlet pipe 316 connected to the input end of the water supply element 4 to form a series water supply circuit. The above circuit setting can make the connection pipe setting inside the entire shell 1 more concise. Of course, it is conceivable that the two cooling water tanks 31 can be set in a parallel connection mode so that both of them can circulate water through the water supply element 4.

[0040] The two cooling water tanks 31 are arranged at an angle, and one end of the adjacent ends is located at the lower end of the V-shaped cooling structure. This arrangement allows the condensed water to converge at the lower end of the V-shaped cooling structure. Therefore, the liquid collecting member 5 is arranged at the lower end of the V-shaped cooling structure. Specifically, the liquid collecting tank 51 is installed at the two ends of the two adjacent manifold sections 311, and a portion of the multiple flat tubes installed on the two manifold sections 311 is sunken inside the opening 511. Therefore, the condensed water remaining from the multiple flat tube sections 312 will be collected in the liquid collecting tank 51, which can effectively prevent the leakage of condensed water. The middle position of the lower end of the liquid collecting tank 51 is set to be concave, and the condensed water collected inside it converges to the protrusions 512 at its two ends and flows into the liquid storage tank 52 below through the liquid guide hole 513 and the connecting pipe 53 for centralized collection. Part of the condensed water is discharged as water mist with the upward airflow, further improving the cooling effect of the entire air conditioning structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 53 is configured as a multi-section structure. Specifically, the first pipe 531 and the second pipe 532 are disposed in correspondence and are both rigid conduits. A filter element 534 is disposed between their opposing ends to filter the returning condensed water. Because the air contains a certain amount of impurities and dust, the filter element 534 needs to be cleaned after the entire device has been used for a period of time. To facilitate installation and removal of the filter element 534, in this embodiment, a flexible hose 533 is disposed between the ends of the filter element 534 and the ends of the first pipe 531 and the second pipe 532. A corresponding sensor element may be disposed in the liquid collection tank 51. Generally, when the filtering effect of the filter element 534 is good, no condensed water is stored in the liquid collection tank 51. When the sensor element detects that there is a large amount of water 42 in the liquid collection tank 51, a corresponding prompt device can be used to remind the user to clean the filter element 534.

[0042] When the amount of condensed water stored in the liquid storage tank 52 reaches a certain level, the stored condensed water can be introduced into the water inlet pipe 315, thereby avoiding the operation of manually draining the condensed water and making the use of the entire device more convenient. Specifically, a corresponding detection element can be installed on the inside of the liquid storage tank 52 to monitor the water level. When the water level exceeds a preset value, the first pump body 81 works and pumps the water in the liquid storage tank 52 through the first connecting pipe 81, and then introduces the condensed water into the water inlet pipe 315 through the second connecting pipe 82. Because the condensed water has been filtered, it generally does not affect the circulating cooling water. Such a setting may make the maintenance of the entire device more convenient.

[0043] like Figure 2and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting bracket 21 is provided on the inner side of the shell 1 corresponding to the air outlet 11, and the fan 2 is installed through the mounting bracket 21. The two ends of the fan 2 are installed between the second ring portion 212 and the third ring portion 213. The first ring portion 211 and the third ring portion 213 are both fixed to the inner wall of the shell 1 by bolts. After the fan 2 is installed, its air inlet end is located directly above the V-shaped cooling structure, which can better guide the air.

[0044] To ensure the effective discharge of cold air, an annular air guide 15 is provided on the inner side of the housing 1 at a position corresponding to the air outlet 11. One end of the air guide 15 is connected to the side of the second annular portion 212 facing away from the end of the fan 2. The cold air at the output end of the fan 2 is gathered by the air guide 15 and then discharged through the air outlet 11. The air inlet structure is provided on the peripheral wall of the lower end of the housing 1 and includes multiple ventilation holes 12. These multiple ventilation holes 12 are provided on at least two end side walls of the housing 1 to ensure sufficient air intake for the entire air conditioning structure. A touch control structure 14 is also provided on the housing 1 to control the start and stop operation of the entire device.

[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, a power storage structure 6 is provided within the housing 1. This structure allows the entire device to operate without being plugged in. During charging, the power storage structure 6 can be replenished by connecting the socket 61 to an external charging device. Furthermore, a waterproof cover 13 is provided within the housing 1, corresponding to the exterior of the power storage structure 6. This ensures that the power storage structure 6 remains relatively isolated from the heat exchange structure within the housing 1, thereby ensuring the stability of the power storage structure 6 during operation.

[0046] In this embodiment, the length of the water inlet pipe 315 is set to be longer to facilitate connection with an external water supply component. In order to facilitate the fixed storage of the water inlet pipe 315, a storage chamber 7 is provided in the shell 1, and a fixing structure 71 is provided in the storage chamber 7 to fix the water inlet pipe 315.

[0047] The above description is merely an exemplary embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural transformations made using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the technical concept of the present invention, or direct / indirect application in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
