[0033] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to be used to explain the present invention, but should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0034] The air conditioner indoor unit of the embodiment of the present invention can be a wall-mounted indoor unit, and the air conditioner indoor unit is provided with an air inlet 4 and an air outlet 3 located above the air inlet 4, for example, Figure 1 As shown, the air inlet 4 can be arranged at the bottom side of the air conditioner indoor unit, and the air outlet 3 can be located at the top of the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit.
[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the air conditioner of the present invention includes a panel 1 and an evaporator 2. The panel 1 can be flat and can be arranged in front of the evaporator 2 and face outward after the air conditioner is installed, thereby ensuring the appearance of the air conditioner.
[0036] The evaporator 2 includes a first component 21 and a second component 22 arranged at an angle, and a joint 23 between the first component 21 and the second component 22 protrudes toward the air inlet 4. Figure 1 As shown, the evaporator 2 can be set up in a split manner. The evaporator 2 can be roughly divided into two parts according to the different extension directions. The two parts are a first part 21 and a second part 22. The first part 21 and the second part 22 can both be roughly flat plate structures, wherein the first part 21 can be roughly arranged tilted from the front to the back, and the second part 22 can be roughly arranged tilted from the back to the front.
[0037] The bottom end of the first component 21 and the bottom end of the second component 22 may overlap or abut against each other, and the connection between the bottom end of the first component 21 and the bottom end of the second component 22 forms a joint 23 between the two components. Specifically, the first component 21 and the second component 22 are generally V-shaped, and the joint 23 between the first component 21 and the second component 22 may protrude downward, and the joint 23 may be located directly above the air inlet 4.
[0038] The first component 21 is located between the panel 1 and the second component 22, and the lower limit value of the spacing k between the first component 21 and the panel 1 is 10-30 mm. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the panel 1 can be arranged on the front side of the first component 21, and the panel 1 and the first component 21 as a whole can be arranged at intervals.
[0039] The spacing k can be regarded as the spacing dimension of the first component 21 and the panel 1 in the front-rear direction, and the lower limit value of the spacing k is the minimum value of the distance between the first component 21 and the panel 1 in the front-rear direction. The spacing k can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 15 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, 20 mm, 21 mm, 22 mm, 25 mm, 28 mm, 30 mm, etc.
[0040] In some embodiments, the included angle a between the first component 21 and the panel 1 is 5-40 degrees. For example, the included angle a can be the included angle between the front wall surface of the first component 21 and the outer surface of the front side of the panel 1, and the included angle a can be 5 degrees, 8 degrees, 10 degrees, 11 degrees, 14 degrees, 18 degrees, 20 degrees, 22 degrees, 25 degrees, 28 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 38 degrees, 40 degrees, etc.
[0041] In some embodiments, the included angle b between the first component 21 and the vertical direction is 5-60 degrees. For example, as shown in the figure, the included angle b can be 5 degrees, 8 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, 58 degrees, 60 degrees, etc. Figure 1
[0042] The air conditioner of the utility model embodiment, the evaporator 2 adopts the two-fold form to arrange, and can make the internal structure of the air conditioner relatively simple while ensuring the air volume, the air circulation path is short and direct, the air circulation space is relatively large, thereby avoiding the situation that the internal space is affected by the complex structure, reducing the possibility of dust accumulation, reducing the overall wind resistance and the working load of the fan, and reducing the energy consumption ratio of the air conditioner and the use cost of the user, thereby improving the air volume and reducing the noise effect.
[0043] Secondly, since the overall structure of the evaporator 2 is simpler, the airflow can uniformly blow through each part of the evaporator 2, avoiding the situation that there are dead angles when the structure is complex, thereby also avoiding the situation that the heat exchange of some areas of the evaporator 2 is insufficient and affects the performance of the air conditioning body.
[0044] In addition, by limiting the distance between the first component 21 of the evaporator 2 and the panel 1 within the above-mentioned range, the overall structure of the indoor unit of the air conditioner can be made more compact, occupying less space, and the flow of air in the air conditioner can be smoother, facilitating the circulation of air into the first component 21, thereby improving the overall circulation effect of the air and further enhancing the user's comfort.
[0045] In some embodiments, the spacing k decreases in a direction away from the joint 23. Figure 1 As shown, the spacing k gradually decreases from bottom to top, that is, it gradually decreases in the direction away from the air inlet 4. As a result, the size of the spacing k can be matched with the reduced air volume between the first component 21 and the panel 1. While ensuring uniform heat exchange and air circulation in each part, it is beneficial to reduce the overall size and achieve a compact layout.
[0046] In some embodiments, the first component 21 has a first end 211 and a second end 212 that are oppositely arranged, the second end 212 is located at the joint 23 , and the distance k between the first end 211 and the panel 1 takes a lower limit value.
[0047] For example, Figure 1 As shown, the first component 21 is generally arranged obliquely from front to back, the first end 211 can be the top end of the first component 21, and the second end 212 can be the bottom end of the first component 21. The second end 212 can overlap or abut against the bottom end of the second component 22, thereby forming the above-mentioned joint 23.
[0048] The distance k takes a minimum value between the first end 211 and the panel 1 , thereby meeting the use requirements of top air inlet heat exchange and improving the compactness of the overall assembly of structural components such as the evaporator 2 and the panel 1 .
[0049] In some embodiments, the angle a between the first component 21 and the panel 1 is 10 to 30 degrees. For example, the angle a can be the angle formed between the front wall surface of the first component 21 and the front outer surface of the panel 1. The angle a can be 10 degrees, 11 degrees, 14 degrees, 18 degrees, 20 degrees, 22 degrees, 25 degrees, 28 degrees, 30 degrees, etc.
[0050] In this way, sufficient air inlet space can be reserved between the panel 1 and the first component 21. When the angle b is within the above range, air can smoothly enter the first component 21 from the lower air inlet 4 at a relatively gentle angle.
[0051] In some embodiments, the angle b formed by the first component 21 and the vertical direction is 10 degrees to 55 degrees. Figure 1As shown, the angle b can be specifically 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, etc.
[0052] Therefore, after the orientation angle of the first component 21 is determined, it is convenient to determine the inclination angle of the panel 1 according to the orientation angle of the first component 21, thereby improving the convenience of installation and arrangement.
[0053] In some embodiments, the upper limit of the distance k between the panel 1 and the first component 21 is 30 mm to 100 mm. Figure 1 As shown, the spacing k can be regarded as the maximum value of the spacing between the panel 1 and the first component 21 in the front-to-back direction, specifically, it can be regarded as the distance between the second end 212 of the first component 21 and the panel 1 in the front-to-back direction. The spacing k can be 30mm, 35mm, 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, 55mm, 60mm, 65mm, 70mm, 75mm, 80mm, 90mm, 95mm, 100mm, etc.
[0054] The spacing k and the above-mentioned angle a can be arranged in combination. When the spacing k and the angle a are within the above-mentioned range, the air can smoothly enter the air inlet gap between the first component 21 and the panel 1 from the air inlet 4 below at a relatively gentle angle, and in this process, a relatively uniform airflow distribution can be formed on the surface of the first component 21, so that the evaporator 2 can fully exchange heat with the air, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency of the evaporator 2, thereby improving the cooling or heating effect of the air conditioner.
[0055] In some embodiments, the first component 21 includes a first section 213 and a second section 214 arranged at an angle, the second section 214 is adjacent to the docking portion 23 , and a connection between the first section 213 and the second section 214 protrudes toward the panel 1 .
[0056] For example, Figure 2 As shown, the first component 21 can be set separately, and the first component 21 can include two independent parts, which can be the first section 213 and the second section 214. The first section 213 and the second section 214 can be roughly arranged tilted along the direction from front to back, wherein the tilt angle of the first section 213 is greater than the tilt angle of the second section 214, and the bottom end of the first section 213 and the top end of the second section 214 can be directly docked together to form a connection, and the formed connection can protrude forward.
[0057] This allows the first component 21 to bend inwardly of the air conditioner's indoor unit, reducing its overall front-to-back dimensions to a certain extent. This, in turn, facilitates manufacturing and increases flexibility in fine-tuning the installation angle during installation. Specifically, the angle between the first section 213 and the second section 214 can be fine-tuned to achieve fine-tuning of the overall installation angle.
[0058] In some embodiments, the angle c between the first segment 213 and the second segment 214 is between 140 and 180 degrees. For example, as shown in the figure, the angle c can be 140, 145, 150, 155, 160, 165, 170, 175, 180, etc.
[0059] When the angle c is within the above-mentioned range, the first component 21 formed by the first section 213 and the second section 214 can be made relatively flat, thereby simplifying the overall structural complexity, eliminating heat exchange dead spots, and ensuring uniform heat exchange across all parts. Furthermore, it also meets the design requirement of fine-tuning the angular deflection of the first component 21.
[0060] In some embodiments, the angle d between the first section 213 and the panel 1 is 10 degrees to 45 degrees. Figure 2 As shown, the angle d can be specifically the angle formed by the front side of the first section 213 and the front surface of the panel 1. The angle d can be specifically 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, etc.
[0061] When the angle d is within the above-mentioned angle range, a sufficient air inlet gap can be reserved between the first section 213 and the panel 1, thereby ensuring that the air can flow to the first section 213 relatively evenly and stably, thereby ensuring the heat exchange efficiency and uniformity of the first section 213.
[0062] In some embodiments, the angle e formed by the first component 21 and the second component 22 is 55 degrees to 90 degrees. Figure 1 As shown, the angle e can be specifically the angle formed by the rear wall of the first component 21 and the front wall of the second component 22. The angle e can be specifically 55 degrees, 60 degrees, 65 degrees, 70 degrees, 75 degrees, 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, etc.
[0063] The angle e is within the above range, which allows the air in this interval to smoothly enter and exit the evaporator 2 for heat exchange, and at the same time helps the condensed water to be smoothly discharged along the evaporator 2 under the action of gravity. The drainage effect of the evaporator 2 can reduce the risk of water leakage in the air conditioner, and the bottom of the evaporator 2 can be equipped with a water receiving tray 5 for receiving the condensed water.
[0064] In some embodiments, the air conditioner comprises a water pan 5, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water pan 5 is arranged below the docking position 23. Thus, the liquid such as condensed water gathered to the docking position 23 can be stored into the water pan 5, realizing the collection of the condensed water.
[0065] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The air conditioner further comprises a base 6, the top end of the second component 22 can abut against the corresponding inner wall surface of the base 6, and the base 6 and the second component 22 can also be provided with an air inlet gap, so as to facilitate the air flow through the second component 22 for heat exchange.
[0066] The air conditioning system of the embodiments of the present application is described below.
[0067] The air conditioning system of the embodiments of the present application comprises an air conditioner, which can be the air conditioner described in any of the above embodiments, and can be a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit in particular. The air conditioning system can further comprise an air conditioner outdoor unit and the like.
[0068] Although the above embodiments have been shown and described, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limiting the present application, and the changes, modifications, replacements and variations of the above embodiments made by those skilled in the art are within the protection scope of the present application.
