[0030] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments of the drawings.
[0031] Embodiment 1: As shown in the figure, a kind of air supply system of automobile air conditioner, including new return air flow path control module 1 and fan module 2, new return air flow path control module 1 has two air inlets and one air outlet 11, two air inlets are respectively new air inlet 12 for being connected with the space outside vehicle and return air inlet 13 for being connected with the space inside vehicle, rotatable installation is in new return air flow path control module 1 with rotary damper 3, the rotation center axis of rotary damper 3 is parallel with the gas main flow path direction of air outlet 11, the rotation of rotary damper 3 is used to realize the switching of full fresh air mode that only new air inlet 12 is connected with air outlet 11, full return air mode that only return air inlet 13 is connected with air outlet 11 and new return air mixed mode that new air inlet 12 and return air inlet 13 are all connected with air outlet 11, fan module 2 includes the turbine fan assembly of being arranged in the downstream of air outlet 11.
[0032] Preferably, the turbine fan assembly includes at least one group of turbine fan unit stages 20, which is composed of a stationary blade fan 202 and a rotating blade fan 201 arranged coaxially. Among them, the blades of the stationary blade fan 202 are fixed and non-rotating stationary blades, and the blades of the rotating blade fan 201 are rotating blades rotating around the shaft of the fan. The center of the rotating blade fan 201 is provided with a layout space for arranging a motor for driving the rotating blades to rotate. All the blades in each fan are arranged in a uniform radiation mode from the center of the fan shaft to the surrounding. The rotating blade fan 201 is responsible for accelerating the airflow, and the stationary blade fan 202 is responsible for guiding the airflow to adapt to the demand of the subsequent parts for the airflow flow field, so that the outflow direction of the main airflow is parallel to the shaft of the fan.
[0033] Preferably, in a turbofan unit stage 20: the moving blade fan 201 and the static blade fan 202 are arranged in sequence along the gas main flow direction of the air outlet 11; in the combination of multiple turbofan unit stages 20: all moving blade fans 201 and static blade fans 202 are coaxial, and a static blade fan 202 is arranged between two moving blade fans 201. According to different use requirements, one turbofan unit stage 20 or a combination of multiple turbofan unit stages 20 can be selected. When multiple turbofan unit stages 20 are used in combination, the air volume can be increased by working in relay, and when a larger pressure head is required, the use of multiple stages can effectively reduce the load of each blade and improve the stability of the fan operation.
[0034] Preferably, the rotating damper 3 includes a rotating shaft 31, the central axis of the rotating shaft 31 is parallel to the gas main flow direction of the air outlet 11, and the plane where the central axis of the rotating shaft 31 is located is taken as a boundary to separate the area around the side of the rotating shaft 31 into an open area 32 and a closed area 33. The closed area 33 is provided with a damper baffle 30 fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 31, and the rotating damper 3 is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 31 to change the position of the damper baffle 30, thereby realizing the switching of the three modes: the full fresh air mode in which only the fresh air outlet 12 is connected with the air outlet 11, the full return air mode in which only the return air outlet 13 is connected with the air outlet 11, and the new return air mixed mode in which the fresh air outlet 12 and the return air outlet 13 are both connected with the air outlet 11. The structure is simple, and the positions of the fresh air outlet 12 and the return air outlet 13 are designed according to the specific structure of the rotating damper 3 to realize stable switching of the above three modes.
[0035] Preferably, the rotating shaft 31 is driven by an actuator (not shown in the figure), and the rotating damper 3 has a mounting space 300 for mounting the actuator.
[0036] Preferably, a filter assembly 4 for filtering the airflow is detachably connected between the air outlet 11 and the turbofan assembly. The filter assembly 4 is used to filter out harmful substances in the airflow, so that the finally discharged air is cleaner and more healthy.
[0037] In addition, according to the use requirements, corresponding baffles can be arranged in the fresh air outlet 12 or the return air outlet 13 to form multiple different airflow channels.
[0038] In this embodiment, two turbofan unit stages 20 are used in combination, that is, a double-stage turbofan. Compared with a single stage, the required pressure head cannot be overcome, and the space required for three or more stages is large, and the feasibility is not high. Therefore, the combination of two unit stages is the most suitable way. The two turbofan unit stages 20 are arranged in sequence as a first moving blade fan 201, a first static blade fan 202, a second moving blade fan 201, and a second static blade fan 202.
[0039] In the new air mode, the rotary damper 3 is driven by the actuator, the return air inlet 13 is fully blocked by the damper baffle 30, the air flow enters the open area 32 of the rotary damper 3 from the new air inlet 12, then the air flow flows out of the air outlet 11, after being filtered by the filter assembly 4, enters the primary moving blade fan 201, is accelerated by the rotation of the primary moving blade, enters the primary static blade fan 202, the air flow direction is corrected by the primary static blade, then the air flow enters the secondary moving blade fan 201, is accelerated again by the rotation of the secondary moving blade, then enters the secondary static blade fan 202, the air flow direction is corrected by the secondary static blade, and then flows out of the air supply system and enters the subsequent mechanism of the automobile air conditioner;
[0040] In the full return air mode, the rotary damper 3 is driven by the actuator, the new air inlet 12 is fully blocked by the damper baffle 30, the air flow enters the open area 32 of the rotary damper 3 from the return air inlet 13, and the subsequent is the same as the new air mode described above.
[0041] In the new air and return air mixed mode, the rotary damper 3 is driven by the actuator, the new air inlet 12 and part of the return air are blocked by the damper baffle 30, the air flow enters the open area 32 of the rotary damper 3, and the subsequent is the same as the new air mode.
[0042] Example two: other parts are the same as example one, the difference is that the open area 32 is provided with an inlet partition plate 35 for forming a multi-layer flow shape. According to the number of inlet partition plates 35, a double-layer flow shape or a multi-layer flow shape is realized, which is used to reduce the heating energy consumption of the automobile air conditioner. In this way, according to different use requirements, on the basis of using the same new return air flow control module 1, only by replacing the rotary damper 3 without the inlet partition plate 35 or the rotary damper 3 with the inlet partition plate 35, the switching of the single-layer flow shape, the double-layer flow shape or the multi-layer flow shape air supply mode can be realized, and the difference between the double-layer flow shape and the multi-layer flow shape is the number of partition plates, and the manufacturing of the rotary damper 3 is also relatively simple. The rotary damper 3 with the partition plate only needs to be slightly modified on the basis of the original rotary damper 3 without the partition plate, which greatly reduces the production cost.
[0043] In the specific embodiment, an inlet baffle 35 is arranged in the open area 32, and a corresponding outlet baffle (not shown in the figure) is arranged at the outlet of the turbo-fan, so that a double-layer flow form of air supply can be realized. The actuator drives the rotary damper 3 to the corresponding position, so that the air flow enters the open area 32 of the rotary damper 3 from the fresh air inlet 12 or the return air inlet 13 or the mixture of the fresh air inlet 12 and the return air inlet 13. Due to the existence of the inlet baffle 35 and the outlet baffle, the air flows on both sides will not interfere with each other, and then flow out of the rotary damper 3 and enter the first moving blade fan 201. Due to the working characteristics of the turbo-fan, there is a certain phase difference between the air flow at the inlet of the first moving blade fan 201 and the air flow at the outlet of the second static blade fan 202, so that the double-layer flow form of air supply can be adjusted according to the angle of the baffle.
[0044] Embodiment three: other parts are the same as embodiment one or two, and the difference is that the filter assembly 4 for filtering the air flow is arranged at the air outlet of the turbo-fan assembly.
[0045] Embodiment four: other parts are the same as embodiment one or two or three, and the difference is that the outer ends of all the blades of the moving blade fan 201 are connected by a baffle ring, which is arranged in the outer shell of the moving blade fan 201 and has a gap with the outer shell. One end of the blade of the moving blade fan 201 is connected with the rotating shaft of the fan, and the other end is connected with the baffle ring, so as to improve the overall strength and reduce the backflow. A certain gap is left between the baffle ring and the outer shell of the fan, so as to facilitate the rotation of the blade. One end of the blade of the static blade fan 202 is connected with the outer shell of the fan, and the other end is connected with the stator of the motor of the fan or is suspended and has a certain gap with the rotor of the motor of the fan, so that it does not participate in rotation.
[0046] Embodiment five: other parts are the same as embodiment one or two or three or four, and the difference is that guide vanes or air flow rectifying devices can be added near the moving blade fan 201 and before the air outlet 11, so that the air flow from the air outlet 11 can enter the first moving blade fan 201 at the optimal angle.
