Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot air treatment technology, specifically to a building structure with hot air treatment function of an air conditioner outdoor unit. Background Technology
[0002] Air conditioner outdoor units emit hot air when operating because they transfer heat from indoors to outdoors through a refrigerant circulation system to lower the indoor temperature. This heat transfer process causes the temperature around the outdoor unit to rise. In urban environments, especially in densely populated metropolitan areas, a large number of air conditioner outdoor units operate within a relatively small area, potentially impacting the local microclimate. For the city as a whole, the heat emissions from air conditioner outdoor units can be considered one of the factors exacerbating the "urban heat island effect." The urban heat island effect not only affects the physical environment of the city but also profoundly impacts residents' physical health, mental well-being, and all aspects of daily life. Therefore, how to reduce the environmental impact of hot air emitted by air conditioner outdoor units requires further consideration. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to provide a building structure with air conditioner outdoor unit hot air treatment function that can cool down the hot air from the outdoor unit of an air conditioner and reduce the urban heat island effect.
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A building structure with an air conditioner outdoor unit hot air handling function includes a main building body. Each floor of the main building body has an air conditioner outdoor unit installation location on its exterior wall. An airflow channel extending vertically from the ground floor to the top floor is located on the exterior wall of the main building body near the air conditioner outdoor unit installation location. Each airflow channel has an exhaust vent corresponding to the location of the air conditioner outdoor unit installation location. An exhaust pipe is installed at each air conditioner outdoor unit installation location, with one end connected to the exhaust vent and the other end connected to the heat dissipation vent of the air conditioner outdoor unit. A hot air cooling device is installed on the top floor of the main building body. The hot air cooling device includes an outer shell installed on the roof surface of the main building body, with a horizontally extending... The cooling duct has an air inlet at one end and an air outlet at the other end. The top of the air duct is connected to the air inlet of the outer shell through a connecting pipe. At least two rows of cooling baffles are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the cooling duct. Each row of cooling baffles includes multiple water-absorbing strips arranged at intervals along the width of the cooling duct. The water-absorbing strips are arranged vertically and their upper ends are fixedly connected to the top of the cooling duct. The water-absorbing strips in adjacent rows of cooling baffles are arranged in an alternating manner. A built-in water collection tank is provided at the bottom of the cooling duct, corresponding to the position below the cooling baffles. The built-in water collection tank is filled with water, and the lower ends of the water-absorbing strips are immersed in the water in the built-in water collection tank.
[0006] In this invention, during installation, the exhaust pipe is connected to the exhaust vent of the outdoor unit and sealed. When the outdoor unit is turned on, hot air enters the airflow channel through the exhaust pipe. In the airflow channel, the hot air rises due to its density, and the channel also creates a chimney effect, causing the air to rise further. The hot air then flows upwards and enters the hot air cooling device through the top of the airflow channel. After entering the cooling duct, the hot air passes through the cooling baffle before being discharged to the outside. When hot air comes into contact with the surface of the absorbent strip, the lower end of the absorbent strip is immersed in the water in the built-in water collection tank, which makes the entire absorbent strip full of water. When hot air comes into contact with the absorbent strip, the water on the surface of the absorbent strip evaporates. The evaporation of water can carry away the heat of the absorbent strip and the surrounding area, thereby cooling the hot air and reducing its temperature. In addition, the absorbent strips arranged alternately in the adjacent rows of cooling curtains can increase the contact area with the air, further improving the heat exchange capacity of the hot air, so that the evaporation can carry away more heat, thereby achieving the treatment of cooling the hot air.
[0007] As an optimization, an external water collection tank is provided on the top of the outer shell, corresponding to the position above the cooling curtain. The external water collection tank is filled with water. Each of the water-absorbing strips has a vertically extending water supply pipe above it. The upper end of the water supply pipe passes through the outer shell and communicates with the external water collection tank. The upper end of the water-absorbing strip is inserted into the lower end of the water supply pipe and is fixedly connected to the water supply pipe. The water-absorbing strip starts to absorb water from the bottom. The water spreads upward slowly. Therefore, by providing an external water collection tank at the top, water can flow from the water supply pipe to the upper end of the water-absorbing strip. Because the upper end of the water-absorbing strip is inserted into the water supply pipe, it blocks the water supply pipe. The water in the water supply pipe will not flow downward, but will only seep downward through the water-absorbing strip. In this way, both the upper and lower ends of the water-absorbing strip can absorb water, ensuring that the water-absorbing strip is always in a moist state.
[0008] As an optimization, the hot air cooling device also includes water supply pipes capable of supplying water to both the external and internal water collection tanks. Float valves for controlling the water level are installed on the water supply pipes located within the external and internal water collection tanks, enabling automatic water replenishment when needed.
[0009] As an optimization, a one-way control valve is installed at the location of the exhaust port in the airflow channel, which allows the air in the exhaust pipe to enter the airflow channel.
[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has a simple structure, can concentrate hot air, and reduce the temperature through the principle of evaporation, thereby reducing the impact of the hot air discharged from the outdoor unit of the air conditioner on the urban heat island effect.
