[0040] In conjunction with Figures 2 to 11 As shown in the drawings, according to the embodiments of the utility model, a kind of air conditioner with PTC heater is provided, including air conditioner shell (not shown in the drawing), indoor heat exchanger (not shown in the drawing) and indoor fan (not shown in the drawing) are arranged in the air conditioner shell, air inlet (not shown in the drawing) and air outlet (not shown in the drawing) are formed on the air conditioner shell, the indoor fan specifically can be cross-flow fan, when the indoor fan drives, air outside air conditioner is inhaled into air conditioner interior via the air inlet and is sent to from air outlet after flowing through the indoor heat exchanger and exchanging heat, realize the temperature control purpose to indoor space, the air conditioner further includes PTC heater 10, the PTC heater 10 is arranged in the air conditioner shell, the PTC heater 10 includes heating core body 1 and the heat dissipation structure 2 connected on the heating core body 1, the heat dissipation structure 2 is one-piece heat dissipation fin, the aforementioned PTC heater 10 is electric heater specifically, correspondingly, the aforementioned heating core body 1 includes aluminum pipe, the aforementioned one-piece heat dissipation fin is connected on the outer side wall surface of the aluminum pipe after being connected by silica gel adhesion solidification, the material of the aforementioned heat dissipation fin can be aluminum or copper, in one specific embodiment, the aforementioned heat dissipation structure 2 is formed by aluminum plate stamping bending or injection molding.

[0041] The technical scheme has the advantages that the heat dissipation fins are integrally formed to form the heat dissipation structure 2, compared with the heat dissipation structure in the prior art in which aluminum strips and fins are high-temperature welded, the high-temperature welding process of the traditional aluminum strips and the corrugated aluminum sheets is cancelled, and thus the high-temperature oxides formed by the high-temperature welding do not need to be chemically treated, the production process is simplified, the production cost is reduced, and the pollution to the environment is eliminated under the premise of effectively eliminating the phenomenon of white powder being blown out by the air conditioner.

[0042] In some embodiments, the PTC heater 10 is located in a region between the air outlet side of the indoor heat exchanger and the air inlet side of the indoor fan.

[0043] In the technical scheme, the PTC heater 10 is arranged in the region between the air outlet side of the indoor heat exchanger and the air inlet side of the indoor fan, so that the air outlet of the indoor heat exchanger can be warmed up again when the PTC heater 10 is running, and the air is further mixed in the indoor fan, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the hot air supply of the air conditioner.

[0044] Specifically referring to Figure 3 In some embodiments, the heat dissipation fins include a plurality of heat dissipation units 20 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the heating core 1, each heat dissipation unit 20 includes a first segment 21 connected to the outer wall surface of the heating core 1, each first segment 21 has a second segment 22 extending away from one side of the heating core 1 at both ends of the length of the first segment 21, one end of each second segment 22 away from the first segment 21 is an outer end, one end of each second segment 22 connected to the first segment 21 is an inner end, and the interval between the two second segments 22 in each heat dissipation unit 20 becomes smaller from the inner end to the outer end, and the third segment 23 connects adjacent two heat dissipation units 20 into one body, and the third segment 23 is connected to the outer end of the second segment 22.

[0045] In the technical scheme, the two second segments 22 at both ends of the same first segment 21 have an interval that becomes smaller from the inner end to the outer end, so that the heat dissipation structure 2 forms a generally triangular structure as a whole, and the base of the triangular heat dissipation structure 2 is connected to the heating core 1, having a larger contact area, which on the one hand enables the heat dissipation structure 2 and the heating core 1 to have a larger matching connection surface, thereby ensuring a larger connection strength therebetween, preventing the connection between the heat dissipation structure 2 and the heating core 1 from cracking due to air flow disturbance, and being suitable for higher speed indoor fan working conditions, and on the other hand enables the heat dissipation structure 2 to form a larger heat exchange and heat conduction area with the heating core 1, improving the heating and heat exchange effect of the heat dissipation structure 2 on the flowing air.

[0046] In a specific embodiment, the first segments 21 are arranged at equal intervals along the length direction of the heat-generating core 1, and the first segment 21 and the second segments 22 at both ends thereof jointly enclose a flow area in the shape of an isosceles trapezoid or an isosceles triangle, in which case the base of the isosceles trapezoid or the isosceles triangle, i.e., the first segment 21, is parallel to the third segment 23, and the lengths of the two are equal, thus achieving a simple and compact structure.

[0047] To further increase the heat dissipation area of the heat dissipation structure 2, the length of the second segment 22 in the direction away from the heat-generating core 1 can be increased as space permits, in which case, preferably, a first reinforcing rib 221 can be formed on the second segment 22, extending from the inner end to the outer end of the second segment 22, so as to increase the structural strength of the second segment 22 and prevent the flexible cantilever structure from being too flexible and unstable. The first reinforcing rib 221 can be formed by stamping on the fin.

[0048] As mentioned above, the second segment 22 objectively forms a cantilever structure, which is subject to shaking under the impact of the airflow generated by the indoor fan, which will cause the two adjacent second segments 22 to collide at the outer end position, thus generating noise and causing the risk of damage to the fins. To address the above problems, in some embodiments, a flow gap 25 is formed between the outer ends of the two second segments 22 in the same heat dissipation unit 20, i.e., a spacing is provided between the two adjacent third segments 23, which can prevent the two adjacent second segments 22 or third segments 23 from colliding with each other under the impact of the airflow, and can also increase the flow area of the heat dissipation structure 2 and further improve the heat exchange effect. It can be understood that the flow gap 25 can also prevent the thermal expansion and contraction of the heat dissipation fins from causing abnormal noise due to the contact and friction between the adjacent second segments 22 and third segments 23.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the width of the flow gap 25 is b, and 0.1mm≤b≤5mm. In the case of a large thickness of the heat dissipation fins, the flow gap 25 can be relatively small, which can facilitate the integrated molding of the heat dissipation fins.

[0050] For a better understanding of the present application, specific reference will be made to the following embodiments: Figure 8As shown, the foregoing technology in the present application, the heat dissipation structure 2 adopts a triangular layout (also known as the aforementioned isosceles trapezoidal layout), more space is left in the middle of the triangle, which can make more airflow flow through the fins, the overall temperature of the airflow is slow, which can fully exchange heat with the whole row of fins, and the first reinforcing rib 221 is designed on the side of the fin, which increases the heat exchange area and improves the heat exchange efficiency, the airflow passing through the distal edge of the fin and the electric auxiliary heating outside also exchanges heat, the heat exchange area is further increased, the overall gap is larger, the flow resistance is smaller, and the influence on the air volume of the whole machine is smaller.

[0051] In one specific embodiment, in combination with Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the base angle α of the triangular heat dissipation structure (also known as the base angle of the isosceles trapezoid) is 30°-90°, the length of the base a is 2-6mm, the thickness d is 0.15-0.4mm, and the height h of the triangular heat dissipation structure is 5-20mm. The length L of the isosceles plane (also known as the width of the second segment 22) is 10-30mm, the punch reinforcing rib (also known as the first reinforcing rib 221) is inwardly protruding (also known as protruding in the direction of the second segment 22 towards the other end of the same first segment 21), the number and spacing f of the punch reinforcing rib are not limited, the length n and width m of the punch reinforcing rib are not limited, and the punch reinforcing rib can be arranged in vertical or horizontal parallel arrangement, or in any direction staggered arrangement.

[0052] In combination with Figures 9 to 11 As shown, in another possible implementation, the flow gap 25 is provided with a buffer spacer 3, specifically, when the flow gap 25 is small, the buffer spacer 3 can be formed by point gluing (such as silicone) at the position of the flow gap, which is simple and reliable in process; when the flow gap 25 is large, a corresponding buffer spacer 3 can be separately provided to achieve the same.

[0053] In this technical scheme, by providing the buffer spacer 3 in the flow gap 25, the position stability of the outer end of the second segment 22 and the corresponding third segment 23 can be improved, the risk of deformation of the second segment 22 and the third segment 23 exerting force on the first segment 21 to cause the connection between the first segment 21 and the heating core 1 to crack can be prevented, and in addition, it can be understood that the phenomenon of displacement of the second segment 22 and the third segment 23 caused by impact of the PTC heater during transportation and handling can also be prevented.

[0054] In one specific embodiment, the material of the buffer spacer 3 is rubber, which has high buffering effect and low manufacturing cost.

[0055] In combination with Figure 11As shown, in some embodiments, the buffer spacer 3 comprises a buffer column 31, and the connecting position of the second segment 22 and the third segment 23 is a connecting corner 24. Figure 3 As indicated above, in one specific embodiment, the cross section of the buffer column 31 is isosceles trapezoidal, so as to be able to match the shape of the inclined position of the two connecting corners 24, thereby forming reliable support, and the second reinforcing rib 222 is further formed on the second segment 22, the second reinforcing rib 222 extends along the width direction of the heating core 1, and the second reinforcing rib 222 on each second segment 22 protrudes towards the side of the flow gap 25 close to the second segment 22, and the inner end surface of the buffer column 31, i.e. the end surface towards the side of the heating core 1, is supported on the second reinforcing rib 222, i.e. the two protruding second reinforcing ribs 222 on both sides are supported on the inner end surface of the buffer column 31.

[0056] In this technical solution, on the one hand, the buffer column 31 with isosceles trapezoidal cross section is arranged in the flow gap 25 to achieve reliable buffering and support of the second segments 22 on both sides, and on the other hand, the protruding second reinforcing rib 222 is arranged at the outer end position of the two second segments 22 close to each other, so as to further improve the structural strength and heat exchange area of the second segment 22, and meanwhile, reliable limiting of the buffer column 31 is achieved, and the mounting structure of the buffer column 31 is simple and compact.

[0057] In some embodiments, the buffer spacer 3 further comprises an outer positioning beam 32 connected to the side of the buffer column 31 away from the first segment 21, so as to form a limiting groove 33 matching the shape of the connecting corner 24 on both sides of the buffer spacer 3.

[0058] In this technical solution, the outer positioning beam 32 is arranged on the outer side of the buffer column 31, so that the limiting groove 33 matching the connecting corner 24 is formed on both sides of the buffer spacer 3, and in the specific assembly, the buffer spacer 3 can be slidably inserted from both ends of the flow gap 25, so that the assembly is simple and convenient.

[0059] In order to ensure the connection reliability and convenience between the buffer spacer 3 and the heat dissipation structure 2, the buffer spacer 3 is bonded with the second segment 22 and / or the third segment 23.

[0060] In other feasible embodiments, a plurality of buffer spacers 3 are arranged in the same flow gap 25, and the buffer spacers 3 are arranged at intervals along the width direction of the heating core 1.

[0061] In the technical scheme, the multiple buffering spacers 3 are arranged in the same flow gap 25, which can realize the damping vibration of the second segments 22 on the two sides at multiple points in the width direction and reduce the shielding of the flow area of the flow gap 25.

[0062] Those skilled in the art can understand that the advantageous technical features of the above-mentioned modes can be freely combined and superimposed without conflict.

[0063] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application. The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that, for ordinary skilled in the art, without departing from the technical principle of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications can be made, and these improvements and modifications shall be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
