AI Technical Summary
In existing air conditioners, the tilted installation of the internal heat exchanger causes condensate to drip from the air inlet into the room, and the airflow in the air inlet area is uneven, which affects the heat exchange efficiency.
Design an air conditioning insulation structure, including an upper shell and a lower shell, with a windbreak and an air passage gap. The air inlet is located on the front side of the evaporator and the air outlet is located on the rear side. The windbreak reduces the vertical wind speed, guides the air to flow laterally, and prevents condensate from dripping through the condensate drain channel. The structure is reinforced with EPP foam material and mounting columns.
This achieves uniform airflow in the air intake area, prevents condensate dripping, and improves heat exchange efficiency.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning, and in particular to an air conditioning insulation structure. Background Technology
[0002] In the prior art, some air conditioners install heat exchangers at an angle to allow for sufficient heat exchange between the incoming air and the heat exchanger, thereby achieving the purpose of obstructing airflow and reducing wind speed.
[0003] For example, patent document CN215904275U discloses a parking air conditioner, including: a chassis connected above the roof panel; an inner shell connected below the chassis and extending into the vehicle interior through a sunroof on the roof panel; a sponge sealing ring fitted onto the inner shell and clamped between the chassis and the roof panel, the sponge sealing ring having an embedded hole; and a support pad disposed within the embedded hole; the sponge sealing ring and the support pad disposed on the sponge sealing ring form a combined sealing structure.
[0004] However, the accompanying drawings of the aforementioned technology show that the internal heat exchanger is installed at an angle and the air inlet is located below the internal heat exchanger, which will cause condensate on the internal heat exchanger to drip from the air inlet into the room.
[0005] Therefore, an air conditioning insulation structure is proposed to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air conditioning insulation structure that can prevent condensate from dripping from the evaporator into the room. At the same time, it can reduce the air volume in the upper part of the air intake area and increase the air volume in the lower part of the air intake area to ensure uniform air volume in the air intake area and ensure heat exchange efficiency.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the problem is: an air conditioning insulation structure, including an upper shell, an evaporator, and a lower shell. The upper shell is installed on the lower shell, and an installation cavity is provided inside the upper shell. The evaporator is disposed in the installation cavity. An air inlet and an air outlet are provided on the lower shell. The air inlet is located on the front side of the evaporator, and the air outlet is located on the rear side of the evaporator. The top of the inner side of the upper shell is sealed to the top of the evaporator. Air passage gaps are provided on both the left and right sides of the evaporator, and the air passage gaps connect the air inlet and the air outlet. The installation cavity includes an air inlet area, an installation area, and an air outlet area. The top of the air inlet area is recessed downward to form an air-blocking part, and the evaporator is disposed in the installation area.
[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the cross-section of the wind-blocking part is arc-shaped.
[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the upper shell is made of EPP foam material.
[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower shell is provided with a mounting post, which is used to connect the upper shell, and the air passage gap is formed at the edge of the mounting post.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the lower shell is provided with a condensate drain channel, which connects the air inlet and the outside of the mounting cavity, and the inlet end of the upper condensate drain channel is located next to the mounting column.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by setting up a wind-blocking part, the vertical wind speed in the air inlet area can be reduced, and the wind can be guided to flow laterally and exchange heat fully with the evaporator, so as to ensure that the air volume in the air inlet area is uniform.
[0013] Meanwhile, an installation area is set up for installing the evaporator. The air inlet is located on the front side of the evaporator, and the air outlet is located on the rear side of the evaporator to prevent condensate on the evaporator from dripping into the room from the air inlet.
