Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of air conditioner technology, specifically to a turbulence module for an air conditioner indoor unit and an air conditioner indoor unit. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, air conditioning equipment typically uses air deflectors and louvers at the air outlet to adjust the airflow direction. Traditional air deflectors and louvers usually swing simply up and down or left and right, creating mostly linear unidirectional airflow, which results in a rather monotonous airflow and insufficient comfort.

[0003] Related documents disclose an air guide plate assembly for an air conditioner, comprising a housing, an air guide plate, and at least one set of air diffuser components. The housing has an air outlet, the air guide plate is pivotally mounted at the air outlet, and the air guide plate has at least one mounting port. The air diffuser components are disposed at the mounting port to facilitate the diffusion of airflow from the air outlet. The at least one air diffuser component includes multiple layers of diffuser bodies arranged juxtaposed along the airflow direction of the air outlet. By providing an air diffuser assembly with multiple layers of diffuser bodies on the air guide plate, the airflow passing through the diffuser assembly can be diffused multiple times, allowing the air to flow in a diffused manner. This avoids the airflow blowing directly out of the air outlet in the same direction, achieving a draft-free effect in the air conditioner and improving user comfort.

[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of this disclosure, at least the following problems were found in the related art:

[0005] According to relevant documents, the air guide plate of the air guide plate assembly can be pivotally mounted at the air outlet, and the air diffuser assembly is located on the mounting port of the air guide plate. Different models of air conditioners require air guide plates of different shapes and sizes, resulting in low versatility of the air guide plate assembly.

[0006] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of this application, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0047] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0048] Combination Figure 1-10 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a turbulence module 100 for an indoor air conditioner unit. The indoor air conditioner unit includes a housing 50, and the housing 50 is provided with an air outlet 51. The turbulence module 100 includes a base 10, a fan assembly 20, and a connecting part 30.

[0049] The base 10 is adapted to be located on the outside of the air outlet 51; the fan assembly 20 is located on the base 10 and is used to turbulent the airflow; the connecting part 30 is connected to the base 10 and is adapted to be detachably connected to the housing 50 so that the turbulence module 100 can be installed and removed independently of the housing 50.

[0050] The base 10 is located on the outside of the air outlet 51, and the connecting part 30 is detachably connected to the housing 50, allowing the turbulence module 100 to be installed and removed independently of the housing 50. This preserves the original components of the air conditioner, only modifying the form of the housing 50 corresponding to the outside of the air outlet 51. The connecting part 30 can be detachably connected to the housing 50 by means of clips or screws.

[0051] The airflow-damping module 100 for an indoor air conditioning unit provided in this embodiment has its base 10 located outside the air outlet 51 and detachably connected to the housing 50 via a connecting part 30. This allows the airflow-damping module 100 to be directly installed on the outside of the housing 50 as an independent module. This makes the airflow-damping module 100 suitable for various air conditioning models and different installation environments, effectively improving its versatility and adaptability. It also avoids occupying internal space in the air duct. Furthermore, the modular design allows the airflow-damping module 100 to be flexibly installed on the outside of the air conditioning housing 50 without requiring complex modifications to other main structures of the air conditioning unit. This facilitates quick installation, removal, and maintenance of the airflow-damping module 100, improving its ease of installation and removal.

[0052] Furthermore, through the combined action of the base 10 and the fan assembly 20, the turbulence module 100 can turbulently and guide the airflow. The fan assembly 20 directly acts on the outlet airflow, turbulently dispersing and softening it, preventing strong winds from blowing directly onto the body. Simultaneously, the base 10 acts as a guide, directing the airflow. This effectively improves the comfort of using the air conditioner.

[0053] Optionally, the connecting part 30 is adapted to be connected to the outer surface of the housing 50.

[0054] This allows for quick installation of the airflow deflector module 100 without disassembling or modifying the internal structure of the air conditioner, reducing installation time. The connecting part 30 is attached to the outer surface of the housing 50. An outer shell can be installed on the outside of the connecting part 30, and this outer shell is connected to the housing 50. The outer shell can conceal the connecting part 30, improving the aesthetics of the air conditioner and also providing protection for the connecting part 30. It can be understood that the connecting part 30 can also be attached to the frame of the housing 50, the edge of the air outlet 51, etc., allowing for independent installation of the airflow deflector module 100.

[0055] Optionally, combined Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the connecting part 30 is provided at both ends of the base 10 along the length direction of the base 10, and the connecting part 30 is adapted to connect to both ends of the housing 50 along the length direction of the air outlet 51.

[0056] The length direction of the air outlet 51 is as follows Figure 7 As indicated by the middle arrow, the length direction of the base 10 is as follows: Figure 9 As indicated by the arrow in the middle. The turbulence module 100 can be securely mounted on the housing 50 via the connecting parts 30 at both ends of the base 10, improving the connection stability of the base 10.

[0057] Optionally, combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the fan assembly 20 includes an axial fan 21 and a first drive unit 22. The air outlet side 211 of the axial fan 21 is adapted to correspond to the air outlet 51. The first drive unit 22 is driven to the axial fan 21 to drive the axial fan 21 to rotate.

[0058] The axial fan 21 is driven to rotate by the first drive unit 22, thereby outputting turbulent airflow and enabling the axial fan 21 to effectively turbulent the outlet airflow. Driven by the first drive unit 22, the speed of the axial fan 21 can also be adjusted according to actual needs, thus controlling the intensity of the airflow turbulence. When rapid and uniform airflow diffusion is required, the speed of the axial fan 21 can be increased to enhance the turbulence effect. When gentle airflow is required, the speed can be reduced to make the airflow more gentle. It is understood that the fan assembly 20 may also include fans of the type such as cross-flow fans and centrifugal fans.

[0059] Optionally, the axial fan 21 is a small axial fan 21.

[0060] The use of a small axial fan 21 reduces space requirements, making the turbulence module 100 compact and allowing for flexible installation. The small axial fan 21 provides sufficient airflow and pressure to effectively meet turbulence requirements. Simultaneously, the small axial fan 21 is typically a DC brushless or high-efficiency, low-noise design, balancing airflow performance and low energy consumption, with controllable energy consumption and noise. The compact design of the turbulence module 100 reduces airflow resistance, thereby improving turbulence efficiency.

[0061] Optionally, combined Figure 9 As shown, there are multiple axial flow fans 21, which are arranged along the length of the base 10. The length of the base 10 is adapted to be consistent with the length of the air outlet 51.

[0062] One or more fans can be installed along the length of the air outlet 51. The design of multiple axial fans 21 effectively improves the disturbance effect on the airflow, enhancing its smoothness. The length of the base 10 is adapted to be consistent with the length of the air outlet 51, and the multiple axial fans 21 are arranged along the length of the base 10, ensuring effective disturbance of the airflow throughout the entire area of ​​the air outlet 51. This avoids situations where the local airflow is too strong or too weak, effectively optimizing the airflow. Multiple axial fans 21 can be spaced apart along the length of the base 10, forming multiple independent disturbance zones. Alternatively, multiple axial fans 21 can be arranged adjacent to each other along the length of the base 10, forming a continuous disturbance zone.

[0063] Optionally, combined Figure 7 As shown, the length of the base 10 is matched with the length of the air outlet 51.

[0064] The length of the base 10 is matched with the length of the air outlet 51, meaning the length of the base 10 is approximately equal to or slightly larger than the length of the air outlet 51, allowing the base 10 to cover the entire airflow along its length. The axial fan 21 is arranged along the length of the base 10, capable of disturbing the entire airflow and thus improving the turbulence effect of the turbulence module 100.

[0065] Optionally, the first drive unit 22 includes a plurality of first drive members, which are connected one-to-one with a plurality of axial flow fans 21, so that each first drive member can independently drive each axial flow fan 21 to rotate.

[0066] Each axial fan 21 can be turned on or off independently, and its speed can be adjusted independently, thus enabling more precise and personalized airflow disturbance control and achieving multi-mode air delivery.

[0067] Optionally, combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, axial fan 21 is CPU fan 212.

[0068] A central processing unit (CPU) fan is a device used to cool the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer. CPU fans 212 typically have good heat dissipation performance and low noise levels. Applying a CPU fan 212 to the airflow disturbance module 100 of an air conditioning indoor unit can effectively turbulent the airflow without generating excessive noise interference. Furthermore, the CPU fan 212 has a relatively compact structure, making it easy to install on the base 10 of the airflow disturbance module 100, thus improving space utilization. In addition, the CPU fan 212 used in this embodiment is a recycled CPU fan from computer equipment, which reduces resource waste and lowers production costs.

[0069] Optionally, combined Figure 10 As shown, the axial fan 21 includes fan blades 213 and a fan frame 214, with the fan blades 213 disposed on the fan frame 214; the first drive unit 22 includes a drive plate 221 and a first motor, with both the drive plate 221 and the first motor disposed on the fan frame 214, the first motor being driven connected to the fan blades 213, and the drive plate 221 being connected to the first motor to control the operation of the first motor.

[0070] The fan blades 213, drive plate 221, and first motor are integrated within the fan frame 214, making the overall structure of the axial fan 21 and the first drive unit compact and easy to install and disassemble. The fan blades 213 are mounted on the shaft of the first motor and are directly driven to rotate by the first motor. The drive plate 221 is electrically connected to the first motor and can control the operating status and speed of the first motor. When the fan assembly needs to turbulent the airflow, the drive plate controls the first motor to operate, and the first motor drives the fan blades to rotate. When turbulence is not needed, the drive plate controls the first motor to stop operating, causing the fan blades to stop rotating. The first motor, as a power source, provides the power to drive the fan blades 213 to rotate. The drive plate 221 can be bolted to the base 10 to ensure stable installation of the fan assembly 20. During operation, the first motor, controlled by the drive plate 221, drives the fan blades 213 to rotate, thereby outputting airflow. The fan blades 213 achieve turbulence through rotation, and the frame structure of the fan frame 214 also produces a certain turbulence effect on the airflow.

[0071] Optionally, combined Figure 1-3 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the base 10 is provided with a mounting port 11, and the fan assembly 20 is arranged corresponding to the mounting port 11 so that the turbulent airflow of the fan assembly 20 can come into contact with the airflow of the air outlet 51 through the mounting port 11.

[0072] Mounting port 11 provides a clear mounting position for fan assembly 20 on base 10. Fan assembly 20 is positioned corresponding to mounting port 11, enabling normal air intake and exhaust functions. Mounting port 11 also provides a precise channel for the flow of turbulent airflow from fan assembly 20. Guided by mounting port 11, the turbulent airflow generated by fan assembly 20 accurately contacts the exhaust airflow from outlet 51, dispersing and diffusing the concentrated exhaust airflow, making the delivered airflow more uniform and gentle, thus better achieving the turbulence effect.

[0073] Optionally, combined Figure 10 As shown, the mounting port 11 is opened along the thickness direction of the base 10.

[0074] The thickness direction of base 10 is as follows Figure 10 As indicated by the middle arrow, the mounting port 11 extends through the thickness of the base 10, providing a stable and reliable mounting position for the fan assembly 20. This allows the fan assembly 20 to come into more direct contact with the exhaust airflow, enabling the turbulent airflow from the fan assembly 20 to mix evenly with the airflow from the exhaust port 51, thereby achieving more effective airflow diffusion and uniform distribution. The fan assembly 20 can be easily installed or removed from one side of the base 10. The fan assembly 20 can be installed on either side of the base 10, or inside the mounting port 11, as long as the exhaust side 211 of the fan assembly 20 and the windward side 101 of the base 10 face the same side. This achieves an effective airflow turbulence effect.

[0075] Optionally, combined Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, there are multiple mounting ports 11, which are spaced apart along the length of the base 10. Multiple axial fans 21 are installed in a one-to-one correspondence with the multiple mounting ports 11.

[0076] Multiple mounting ports 11 are spaced apart along the length of the base 10, and correspondingly, multiple mounting ports 11 are spaced apart along the length of the air outlet 51. Multiple axial fans 21 are installed at the multiple mounting ports 11, which can increase the diffusion range of the disturbed airflow and enhance the disturbance effect on the outlet airflow.

[0077] Optionally, the base 10 is provided with a cable routing channel, and the power and signal cables of the fan assembly 20 are adapted to be located in the cable routing channel.

[0078] The cable trays allow for the proper arrangement and effective protection of the power and signal cables of the fan assembly 20. Neat wiring enhances the overall aesthetics and tidiness of the baffle module 100, facilitates subsequent maintenance and repair, and avoids potential safety hazards caused by exposed wires.

[0079] Optionally, the connection part 30 has a wiring space inside, and the power line and signal line of the fan assembly 20 are suitable for passing through the wiring space.

[0080] By concealing the cables within the connector 30, the cable layout is optimized, resulting in a cleaner and more aesthetically pleasing appearance for the entire spoiler module 100. Furthermore, the ample cable routing space provides a stable path for the cables, preventing wear and tear caused by frequent movement between the connector 30 and the housing 50, thus enhancing cable stability. This design also facilitates cable installation and maintenance, improving the assembly efficiency and maintainability of the spoiler module 100 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0081] Optionally, combined Figure 1-8 As shown, the turbulence module 100 also includes a second drive unit 40, which is driven to connect with the connecting unit 30 to drive the connecting unit 30 to move the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 relative to the air outlet 51 between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 are located above the air outlet 51, and the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 is downward. In the second position, the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 are located below the air outlet 51, and the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 is forward. In any position between the first and second positions, the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 correspond to the air outlet 51, and the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 is towards the air outlet 51.

[0082] The turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 refers to the airflow direction of the fan assembly 20.

[0083] The second drive unit 40 drives the connecting unit 30 to move the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 relative to the air outlet 51 between a first position and a second position. This allows for flexible adjustment of the airflow direction, enabling diverse air delivery needs such as hot air sinking, cold air rising, and gentle breeze mode, thereby optimizing air delivery effect and comfort. The following explanation uses a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit as an example to illustrate various airflow modes. In a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, the airflow direction of the air outlet 51 is typically diagonally downward.

[0084] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in the first position, the base 10 and fan assembly 20 are located above the air outlet 51, with the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 pointing downwards. The air outlet side 211 of the fan assembly 20 faces downwards, and the turbulent airflow generated by the fan assembly 20 flows downwards, thus ensuring the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 is downwards. At this time, the windward surface 101 of the base 10 faces downwards, obstructing the airflow and guiding it downwards as well. By turbulently diffusing the outlet airflow downwards, the outlet airflow can better cover the lower area of ​​the room. In the first position, the direction of the outlet airflow is as follows... Figure 4 As indicated by the middle arrow 'a', the direction of the disturbed airflow is as follows: Figure 4 As indicated by the middle arrow b, when the air conditioner is operating in the hot air sinking mode, the second drive unit 40 drives the base 10 and fan assembly 20 to move to the first position, with the turbulence direction and the airflow direction intersecting downwards at a 45° angle. This turbulence effect guides hot air to the lower part of the room, achieving faster carpet-like heating and effectively improving the indoor heating effect.

[0085] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in the second position, the base 10 and fan assembly 20 are located below the air outlet 51, with the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 facing forward. The air outlet side 211 of the fan assembly 20 faces forward, and the turbulent airflow generated by the fan assembly 20 flows forward, thus ensuring the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 is forward. At this time, the windward surface 101 of the base 10 faces forward, obstructing the airflow and guiding it forward. The forward-flowing turbulent airflow comes into contact with the downward-flowing outlet airflow, hindering its downward flow and causing it to diffuse upward. Simultaneously, the forward-facing turbulence direction also guides the outlet airflow forward, allowing it to be transported over a longer distance. In the second position, the direction of the outlet airflow is as follows... Figure 5 As indicated by the middle arrow 'a', the direction of the disturbed airflow is as follows: Figure 5 As indicated by the middle arrow b, when the air conditioner is operating in the upward-blowing cold air mode, the second drive unit 40 drives the base 10 and fan assembly 20 to move to the second position, with the turbulence direction and the airflow direction intersecting at a 45° angle. This turbulence effect lifts and diffuses the cold air, allowing it to be transported further into the room, effectively improving the indoor cooling effect.

[0086] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in any position between the first and second positions, the base 10 and fan assembly 20 correspond to the air outlet 51, with the turbulence direction facing the air outlet 51. The air outlet side 211 of the fan assembly 20 faces the air outlet 51, and the turbulent airflow generated by the fan assembly 20 flows towards the air outlet 51, thus achieving the turbulence direction of the fan assembly 20 towards the air outlet 51. At this time, the windward surface 101 of the base 10 faces the air outlet 51, which can obstruct the airflow and prevent the airflow from blowing directly. The turbulent airflow flowing towards the air outlet 51 comes into contact with the airflow exiting the air outlet 51, and the turbulent airflow can disperse the airflow, achieving a gentle breeze effect. In any position between the first and second positions, the direction of the airflow is as follows: Figure 6As indicated by the middle arrow 'a', the airflow at the outlet is represented by a curve, indicating that the airflow is being dispersed. The direction of the disturbed airflow is as follows: Figure 6 As indicated by the middle arrow b. When the air conditioner is operating in gentle wind mode, the second drive unit 40 drives the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 to move to any position between the first position and the second position according to the needs of the air supply direction. Through the turbulence effect, it can prevent the airflow from blowing directly on the user and improve the comfort of the air supply.

[0087] Optionally, the fan assembly 20 operates at a low speed in either the first or second position.

[0088] The fan assembly 20 operates at a low speed. The turbulent airflow output by the fan assembly 20 disperses the exhaust airflow and reduces the collision between the turbulent airflow and the exhaust airflow, thereby improving the gentle breeze effect.

[0089] Optionally, the second drive unit 40 is detachably connected to the housing 50.

[0090] When the connecting part 30 is installed or removed from the housing 50, the second drive part 40 can be installed or removed simultaneously, thereby improving the convenience of installing and removing the turbulence module 100.

[0091] Optionally, combined Figure 9 As shown, the second drive unit 40 includes a second motor 41, and the connecting unit 30 includes a linkage mechanism 31. The second motor 41 is driven to the linkage mechanism 31 to drive the linkage mechanism 31 to move the base 10 and the fan assembly 20.

[0092] The second motor 41 drives the linkage mechanism 31 to move the base 10 and fan assembly 20 relative to the air outlet 51, enabling precise motion control. Through the precise control of the second motor 41, the linkage mechanism 31 can drive the base 10 and fan assembly 20 to move more smoothly, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the fan assembly 20 in different positions.

[0093] Optionally, combined Figure 9 As shown, the linkage mechanism 31 is a four-bar linkage mechanism. The four-bar linkage mechanism is located at both ends of the base 10 along the length of the air outlet 51 and is connected to both ends of the housing 50 along the length of the air outlet 51, so as to drive the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 to rotate around the air outlet 51.

[0094] The transmission method of the four-bar linkage driven by the second motor 41 can drive the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 to rotate in a certain range in the vertical or horizontal direction relative to the air outlet 51, and can drive the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 to move stably between the first position and the second position. At the same time, the rotation of the base 10 and the fan assembly 20 through the four-bar linkage can also ensure that the air outlet side 211 of the fan assembly 20 always faces the airflow, thus achieving a turbulence effect.

[0095] When the connecting part 30 includes the linkage mechanism 31, the wiring space is located in the linkage of the linkage mechanism 31. The power line and signal line of the fan assembly 20 are routed out through the wiring groove of the base 10 and the wiring space of the connecting part 30, and are connected to the computer board of the air conditioner together with the power line and signal line of the second motor 41.
