[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air-conditioning energy saving, in particular to an air-conditioning energy saving device. Background Art

[0002] The outdoor unit of the air conditioner is also called the air conditioner evaporator. When the air conditioner is cooling, the outdoor unit of the air conditioner needs to cool and dissipate the high-pressure and high-temperature gas discharged from the indoor unit of the air conditioner outdoors.

[0003] When cooling the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, the hot air around the outdoor unit is often sucked away by a fan and discharged into the external environment, and the air in the external environment is sucked into the vicinity of the outdoor unit. When the external environment temperature is high, the temperature of the air sucked near the outdoor unit by the fan is high, the temperature difference between the outdoor unit and the air is small, and the rate at which the heat of the outdoor unit is dissipated into the air is low. The heat dissipation of the outdoor unit is often accelerated by increasing the power of the fan of the outdoor unit. The thermal conductivity of the air is low, and the power consumption of the heat dissipation of the outdoor unit is large. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide an air-conditioning energy-saving device, aiming to improve the problem of high power consumption of heat dissipation of an outdoor air-conditioning unit.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the air-conditioning energy-saving device proposed in the utility model includes an installation box for installing an air-conditioning outdoor unit, the installation box having two first side walls arranged opposite to each other, fans are provided on the two first side walls of the installation box, and vents are provided on the two first side walls of the installation box. The fans are arranged one-to-one corresponding to the vents, and the vents are used to connect to the corresponding fans, an atomizing nozzle is provided on the top inner side wall of the installation box, and the atomizing nozzle is connected to a water supply component.

[0006] In one embodiment, the atomizing nozzle can be installed in the installation box in a liftable manner.

[0007] In one embodiment, an axial motor is provided on the inner side wall of the top of the installation box, and the atomizing nozzle is connected to the output shaft of the axial motor.

[0008] In one embodiment, a water storage tank is provided on the outer side of the bottom of the installation box, and a liquid pipe is connected between the water storage tank and the bottom side of the installation box.

[0010] In one embodiment, two heat absorption boxes are provided, and the two heat absorption boxes are respectively provided on the two first side walls of the installation box.

[0011] In one embodiment, a sunshade is provided on the top of the installation box.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sun visor includes two plate segments, which are connected to each other and extend downward in a direction away from each other.

[0013] In one embodiment, a water storage cavity is provided in the sun visor, and a liquid storage hopper is provided on the top side of the installation box, and the liquid storage hopper is communicated with the water storage cavity.

[0014] In one embodiment, the cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid storage hopper gradually increases in a direction away from the installation box.

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention supplies water to the atomizing nozzle through a water supply component.

[0027] Air conditioner outdoor units are often installed outdoors. When the air conditioner is cooling, the temperature of the outdoor unit rises, and heat often needs to be dissipated to ensure the air conditioner's cooling effect. When the outdoor temperature is high, the air drawn into the outdoor unit by the fan is hotter, the air's thermal conductivity is lower, and the temperature difference between the air and the outdoor unit decreases, reducing the efficiency of heat transfer from the outdoor unit to the air. To ensure the air conditioner's cooling effect, the outdoor unit's fan power is often increased to speed up heat dissipation, which increases the air conditioner's power consumption.

[0028] The utility model proposes an air conditioning energy-saving device to improve the problem of high power consumption of the air conditioning outdoor unit heat dissipation

[0029] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present utility model, the air-conditioning energy-saving device includes an installation box 1 for installing an air-conditioning outdoor unit 9, the installation box 1 having two opposite first side walls, fans 2 are provided on the two opposite side walls of the installation box 1, vents 11 are provided on the two first side walls of the installation box 1, the vents 11 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the fans 2, the installation box 1 is connected to the fans 2 through the vents 11, an atomizing nozzle 3 is provided on the inner side wall of the top side of the installation box 1, and the atomizing nozzle 3 is connected to the water supply component 4;

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention reduces direct contact between the air conditioner outdoor unit 9 and the air in the external environment by installing the air conditioner outdoor unit 9 in the installation box 1. When the operator starts the two fans 2 simultaneously, the air outside the installation box 1 can be sucked into the installation box 1 and the air inside the installation box 1 can be blown out of the installation box 1, thereby ensuring the flow rate of the air inside the installation box 1. The two fans 2 are located on opposite sides of the installation box 1, ensuring the contact between the flowing air and the air conditioner outdoor unit 9. When the operator starts the atomizing nozzle 3, atomized water droplets can be sprayed onto the air conditioner outdoor unit 9. Water has a higher thermal conductivity than air, so the heat from the air conditioner outdoor unit 9 can be transferred to the water more quickly. Water has a larger specific heat capacity and can absorb more heat than air. When the air in the installation box 1 flows, the water vaporization is accelerated, and the water absorbs heat when evaporating, which can improve the cooling effect on the air conditioner outdoor unit 9, reduce the energy consumption when the air conditioner outdoor unit 9 dissipates heat, and improve the problem of high power consumption of the air conditioner outdoor unit 9.

[0031] In order to achieve pressurized water supply to the atomizing nozzle 3, the water supply assembly 4 includes a power pump 41, a first water pipe 42, and a second water pipe 43. One end of the first water pipe 42 extends into the installation box 1 and is connected to the water inlet of the atomizing nozzle 3, and the other end is connected to the water outlet of the power pump 41. The power pump 41 and the second water pipe 43 are both located outside the installation box 1. The power pump 41 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the installation box 1. One end of the second water pipe 43 is connected to the water inlet of the power pump 41, and the other end is connected to an external water supply device. When the operator starts the power pump 41, it can pressurize and supply water to the atomizing nozzle 3, ensuring the atomization effect of the atomizing nozzle 3 on the water.

[0032] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The installation box 1 is vertical, and the vertical inner walls of the installation box 1 are installed with installation plates 12. The installation plates 12 are used to fix the air-conditioning outdoor unit 9. The air-conditioning outdoor unit 9 is located between multiple installation plates 12. The multiple installation plates 12 cooperate with each other to fix the air-conditioning outdoor unit 9 from multiple directions, which is beneficial to ensuring the fixing effect of the air-conditioning outdoor unit 9.

[0033] The atomizing nozzle 3 can be raised and lowered in the installation box 1. By controlling the raising and lowering of the atomizing nozzle 3, the distance between the atomizing nozzle 3 and the air-conditioning outdoor unit 9 can be changed. The operator can adjust the height of the atomizing nozzle 3 according to the spraying effect of the atomizing nozzle 3 on the air-conditioning outdoor unit 9.

[0034] An axial motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the inner sidewall of the top side of the installation box 1. The output shaft of the axial motor 13 points vertically downward. A side support plate 131 is welded to the output shaft of the axial motor 13. A retaining clamp 132 is welded to the side support plate 131. The atomizing nozzle 3 is clamped to the retaining clamp 132. The atomizing nozzle 3 is located directly above the air conditioner outdoor unit 9, with the opening of the atomizing nozzle 3 facing downward. When the operator activates the axial motor 13, the side support plate 131 drives the retaining clamp 132 and the atomizing nozzle 3 to move upward and downward. The axial motor 13 can be replaced with other components that achieve the lifting function, such as a cylinder.

[0035] In addition, some of the water droplets sprayed from the atomizing nozzle 3 are collected at the bottom of the installation box 1. In order to collect the water at the bottom of the installation box 1, a water storage tank 5 is provided on the lower side of the installation box 1. The water storage tank 5 is connected to the bottom side of the installation box 1 through a liquid pipe 51, and a valve is installed on the liquid pipe 51. After the operator opens the valve on the liquid pipe 51, the water in the installation box 1 can flow from the liquid pipe 51 into the water storage tank 5, completing the temporary storage of the water in the installation box 1 and reducing the accumulation of water in the installation box 1.

[0036] To ensure stable installation of the water tank 5, multiple connecting rods 52 are connected between the water tank 5 and the installation box 1. The multiple connecting rods 52 ensure the stability of the installation of the water tank 5. The height of the upper side of the bottom side wall of the installation box 1 gradually decreases from the periphery to the center. The liquid pipe 51 is connected to the center of the bottom of the installation box 1, ensuring that the water in the installation box 1 flows into the liquid pipe 51.

[0037] A heat absorbing box 6 is detachably mounted on the outside of the installation box 1. A connecting pipe 61 is connected between the heat absorbing box 6 and the water storage tank 5. The heat absorbing box 6 can be screwed onto the outer wall of the installation box 1. The outer side of the heat absorbing box 6 is attached to the outer wall of the installation box 1. The heat absorbing box 6 absorbs heat from the outer wall of the installation box 1, which helps to cool the installation box 1.

[0038] The upper side of the heat absorption box 6 is provided with an opening, and a thermal pad is pasted between the heat absorption box 6 and the installation box 1. When the water level in the water storage tank 5 is high, the water in the water storage tank 5 can enter the heat absorption box 6, and the heat absorbed by the heat absorption box 6 can be transferred to the water in the heat absorption box 6. After absorbing heat, the water in the heat absorption box 6 accelerates evaporation, which can cool the heat absorption box 6.

[0039] After absorbing heat, the heat absorption box 6 can transfer the heat to the water storage tank 5 through the connecting pipe 61, which is conducive to accelerating the evaporation of water in the water storage tank 5. When the water level in the water storage tank 5 is low, the water in the water storage tank 5 evaporates and enters the heat absorption box 6 through the connecting pipe 61. The air flow speed in the heat absorption box 6 is accelerated, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect of the heat absorption box 6.

[0040] A valve can be provided on the connecting pipe 61. After closing the valve on the connecting pipe 61, water can be injected into the heat absorption box 6. After the heat absorption box 6 absorbs heat, the water in the heat absorption box 6 evaporates, thereby cooling the heat absorption box 6.

[0041] To improve the heat absorption effect of the installation box 1, two heat absorption boxes 6 are provided, and the two heat absorption boxes 6 are respectively located outside the two first side walls of the installation box 1. This increases the heat absorption area of ​​the installation box 1 and ensures the heat absorption effect of the installation box 1. The heat absorption boxes 6 can cool the air entering the installation box 1.

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 In order to reduce direct sunlight on the installation box 1, a sunshade 7 is provided on the upper side of the installation box 1. The sunshade 7 can block the installation box 1, reduce the sunlight from shining on the installation box 1, and reduce the temperature rise of the installation box 1 after being exposed to light.

[0043] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4In order to ensure the shading effect of the sun visor 7 on the installation box 1, the sun visor 7 includes two plate sections 71, both of which are inclined, and the higher sides of the two plate sections 71 are connected, and the installation box 1 is located directly below the connection of the two plate sections 71; the height of the lower side of the plate section 71 is lower than the height of the top side wall of the installation box 1, thereby ensuring the shading effect of the sun visor 7 on the installation box 1.

[0044] A plurality of assembly plates 14 are detachably mounted on the upper side of the mounting box 1 by bolts, a support rod 141 is fixedly mounted on the upper side of the assembly plate 14, and the upper end of the support rod 141 is welded to the lower side of the sun visor 7, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the sun visor 7.

[0045] A water storage chamber is provided in the plate section 71, and a liquid storage hopper 8 is welded to the uppermost side of the sun visor 7. The upper and lower sides of the liquid storage hopper 8 both have openings, and the lower side of the liquid storage hopper 8 is connected to the water storage chamber of the sun visor 7. After the sun visor 7 is exposed to sunlight, the sun visor 7 can transfer heat to the liquid storage hopper 8 through the water in the water storage chamber of the sun visor 7. The water temperature in the liquid storage hopper 8 increases, which can accelerate the evaporation of the water in the liquid storage hopper 8. When the water in the liquid storage hopper 8 evaporates, it takes away heat and can achieve cooling.

[0046] A drain pipe 711 is mounted on the underside of the panel section 71. A valve is mounted on the drain pipe 711, and the drain pipe 711 is in communication with the water storage chamber of the panel section 71. When the operator opens the drain pipe 711, the water in the water storage chamber of the sun visor 7 is drained, and the water in the liquid reservoir 8 enters the water storage chamber of the sun visor, making it easier for the operator to change the water in the sun visor 7. By continuously opening the valve on the drain pipe 711, the operator can completely drain the water in the liquid reservoir 8 and the water storage chamber of the sun visor 7.

[0047] The outside of the sun visor 7 and the inside and outside of the liquid storage bucket 8 are coated with heat insulation material, which can reduce the temperature increase of the sun visor 7 and the liquid storage bucket 8 after being exposed to sunlight.

[0048] See also Figure 3 The cross-sectional area of ​​the liquid storage hopper 8 gradually increases from bottom to top, and the liquid storage hopper 8 is capable of collecting rainwater. To reduce the ingress of debris into the water storage chamber of the sun visor 7, a filter frame 81 is installed inside the opening of the liquid storage hopper 8. A filter screen 82 is installed within the frame of the filter frame 81. The filter screen 82 is capable of filtering water entering the interior of the sun visor 7, thereby reducing the ingress of debris into the interior of the sun visor 7. The filter frame 81 is tilted, and accordingly, the filter screen 82 is tilted. When debris is blocked on the upper side of the filter screen 82, the debris can accumulate in the lower area above the filter screen 82 under the action of gravity and water flow, which helps to reduce the blockage of the filter screen 82 by debris and ensures that the filter screen 82 can filter debris.

[0049] See also Figure 2The outside of the installation box 1 is detachably fixedly connected with a plurality of auxiliary plates 15 , and the auxiliary plates 15 are used to be fixedly installed on external construction equipment, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the installation box 1 .
