AI Technical Summary
In existing ducted air conditioner indoor units, the temperature sensor does not accurately detect the refrigerant inlet temperature of the heat exchanger, especially when condensate accumulates at the bottom of the heat exchanger, resulting in detection results that are too low or too high.
A flow distribution assembly is adopted, including a throttling section of the sleeve and the main body. The refrigerant is depressurized and cooled through the throttling orifice. The refrigerant is uniformly mixed in the distribution chamber and then enters the heat exchanger. A temperature sensor is installed on the sleeve to detect the temperature of the refrigerant in the distribution chamber, avoiding contact with condensate.
It improves the accuracy of temperature detection, ensuring accurate detection of the refrigerant inlet temperature of the heat exchanger even when condensate accumulates, and improves the detection accuracy of the temperature sensor.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of indoor unit of ducted air conditioner, in particular to a ducted air conditioner and indoor unit thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The indoor unit of the ducted air conditioner in the related art utilizes a distribution head, such as a Venturi distribution head, to distribute refrigerant through a plurality of capillary tubes to each refrigerant inlet of an evaporator. When it is necessary to detect the temperature at the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger, the refrigerant in the current distribution head cannot accurately reflect the temperature at the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger because the refrigerant has not been depressurized and cooled by the capillary tubes. Moreover, the middle and upper portions of the heat exchanger correspond to the air inlet, so the refrigerant in the middle and upper portions of the heat exchanger has a good evaporation effect, resulting in a high temperature of the refrigerant in the capillary tubes connected to the middle and upper portions of the heat exchanger. Therefore, the indoor unit of the ducted air conditioner in the related art detects the temperature at the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger by arranging a temperature sensor on the capillary tube connected to the refrigerant inlet at the bottom of the heat exchanger. However, condensate water may accumulate at the bottom of the heat exchanger, for example, when the drain hole of the water collecting tray is blocked, a portion of the capillary tube connected to the bottom of the heat exchanger may be immersed in the condensate water, causing the temperature of the capillary tube to decrease, and resulting in a low temperature detected by the temperature sensor, which causes the temperature at the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger to be inaccurate.

Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.
[0033] The indoor unit of the ducted air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] As shown in Figures 1 to 7 The indoor unit of the ducted air conditioner according to the embodiments of the present application includes a housing 100, a heat exchanger 200, a flow splitting assembly 300, and a temperature sensor 400.
[0035] The housing 100 has an inner cavity 110, and the heat exchanger 200 is arranged in the inner cavity 110 to exchange heat with the air entering the inner cavity 110. The bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200 is in contact with the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110.
[0036] The flow splitting assembly 300 is arranged in the inner cavity 110, and the flow splitting assembly 300 includes a sleeve 310, a main pipe body 320, and a branch pipe body 340. The main pipe body 320 has a throttling section 330, and the sleeve 310 is sleeved on the throttling section 330 of the main pipe body 320 to form a flow splitting cavity 350 between the throttling section 330 and the sleeve 310. At least one throttling hole 331 is arranged on the throttling section 330, and the throttling hole 331 is in communication between the inner cavity 110 and the flow splitting cavity 350 of the throttling section 330. That is, the refrigerant in the main pipe body 320 can flow into the flow splitting cavity 350 through the throttling hole 331 on the throttling section 330, and the throttling hole 331 has a throttling effect on the refrigerant when the refrigerant flows through the throttling hole 331, so that the refrigerant is depressurized and cooled before entering the flow splitting cavity 350.
[0037] The distribution branch pipe body 340 is connected with the sleeve pipe 310, the lumen of the distribution branch pipe body 340 is communicated with the distribution cavity 350, and the distribution branch pipe body 340 is connected with the heat exchanger 200. The refrigerant which is subjected to the cooling and pressure reduction treatment through the throttling hole 331 is transported to the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger 200 connected with the distribution branch pipe body 340 through the lumen of the distribution branch pipe body 340.
[0038] The sleeve pipe 310 and the throttling section 330 are located above the bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200. After heat exchange with air, the heat exchanger 200 will condense condensate water, and the condensate water can be accumulated on the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110 and flood the bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200. The sleeve pipe 310 and the throttling section 330 located above the bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200 can avoid contact of the sleeve pipe 310 and the throttling section 330.
[0039] The temperature sensor 400 is installed on the sleeve pipe 310, and the temperature sensor 400 is used for detecting the temperature of the refrigerant in the distribution cavity. That is, the temperature of the refrigerant in the distribution cavity can be transmitted to the sleeve pipe 310, and the temperature sensor 400 detects the temperature of the refrigerant in the distribution cavity by detecting the temperature of the surface of the sleeve pipe 310.
[0040] Compared with the related art, the indoor unit of the air pipe type air conditioner has the distribution assembly 300 which utilizes the throttling hole 331 on the throttling section 330 of the main pipe body 320 to achieve the throttling effect of reducing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, so that the refrigerant after temperature reduction enters the heat exchanger 200 in turn through the distribution cavity and the lumen of the distribution branch pipe body 340, thereby replacing the throttling mode of the refrigerant in the related art by using the capillary tube. Since the distribution cavity is the refrigerant after throttling and temperature reduction, and the distribution branch pipe body 340 only provides a channel for the refrigerant to flow into the heat exchanger 200, the temperature of the refrigerant in the distribution cavity is the temperature of the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger 200 to be detected in the related art. In the case that the condensate water is accumulated at the bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200, the sleeve pipe 310 and the throttling section 330 will not be directly contacted with the condensate water, so that the refrigerant in the distribution cavity is not affected by the condensate water or is even not affected by the condensate water, and thus the temperature sensor 400 installed on the sleeve pipe 310 can more accurately detect the temperature of the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger 200.
[0041] In addition, since the distribution cavity is located upstream of the distribution branch pipe body 340, the refrigerant in the distribution cavity is less affected by the temperature of the refrigerant in the distribution branch pipe body 340, thereby further improving the accuracy of the detected temperature of the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger 200.
[0042] In some embodiments, as Figure 7As shown, the heat exchanger 200 includes a first refrigerant inlet 220, a second refrigerant inlet 230 and a third refrigerant inlet 240 arranged in sequence in the up-down direction, and the first refrigerant inlet 220, the second refrigerant inlet 230 and the third refrigerant inlet 240 are arranged in intervals.
[0043] The sleeve 310 is provided with a first refrigerant outlet 314, a second refrigerant outlet 315 and a third refrigerant outlet 316, which are all in communication with the distribution cavity 350. The distribution branch pipe body 340 includes a first distribution branch pipe body 341, a second distribution branch pipe body 342 and a third distribution branch pipe body 343; the first distribution branch pipe body 341 is connected between the first refrigerant inlet 220 and the first refrigerant outlet 314. The second distribution branch pipe body 342 is connected between the second refrigerant inlet 230 and the second refrigerant outlet 315. The second distribution branch pipe body 342 is connected between the second refrigerant inlet 230 and the second refrigerant outlet 315.
[0044] That is, the refrigerant in the distribution cavity is distributed to the first distribution branch pipe body 341, the second distribution branch pipe body 342 and the third distribution branch pipe body 343 through the first refrigerant outlet 314, the second refrigerant outlet 315 and the third refrigerant outlet 316 respectively, and then is transported to the first refrigerant inlet 220, the second refrigerant inlet 230 and the third refrigerant inlet 240 by the first distribution branch pipe body 341, the second distribution branch pipe body 342 and the third distribution branch pipe body 343 respectively, so as to realize uniform transportation of the refrigerant in the distribution cavity to the first refrigerant inlet 220, the second refrigerant inlet 230 and the third refrigerant inlet 240 of the heat exchanger 200.
[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in the drawings, Figures 1 to 2 The sleeve 310 includes a first pipe segment 311, a second pipe segment 312 and a third pipe segment 313 connected in sequence in the axial direction thereof, the inner wall surface of the first pipe segment 311 is connected with the outer peripheral surface of the throttling segment 330. The inner wall surface of the second pipe segment 312 is arranged in intervals with the outer peripheral surface of the throttling segment 330 in the inner-outer direction to form the distribution cavity 350; the inner wall surface of the third pipe segment 313 is connected with the outer peripheral surface of the throttling segment 330. Among them, the second pipe segment 312 forms the throttling segment 330.
[0046] The first pipe segment 311, the second pipe segment 312 and the third pipe segment 313 and the throttling segment 330 form a distribution cavity for accommodating the refrigerant after cooling, and after the refrigerant enters the distribution cavity through the throttling hole 331, the liquid-phase refrigerant and the gas-phase refrigerant in the refrigerant are mixed with each other and tend to be uniform, which is conducive to making the refrigerant more evenly distributed when flowing into the distribution branch pipe body 340.
[0047] In some embodiments, the throttle hole 331 is a plurality of throttle holes 331 arranged in the up-down direction; the temperature sensor 400 corresponds to the lowermost one of the plurality of throttle holes 331 in the up-down direction. By arranging a plurality of throttle holes 331 on the throttle section 330, the refrigerant can be sprayed into the distribution cavity after being throttled by the plurality of throttle holes 331, so that the plurality of refrigerant streams are mixed and tend to be uniform, thereby facilitating more uniform distribution of the refrigerant when flowing into the distribution branch pipe body 340.
[0048] In addition, the lowermost one of the throttle holes 331 corresponds to the lowermost distribution branch pipe body 340, that is, the throttle hole 331 corresponds to the refrigerant inlet of the bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200. The temperature sensor 400 corresponds to the lowermost one of the plurality of throttle holes 331, so that the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 400 at the refrigerant inlet of the heat exchanger 200 is more accurate.
[0049] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 The indoor unit of the air duct type air conditioner further includes a bracket 500 fixedly arranged on the sleeve 310, and the bracket 500 has a mounting groove 510, and the temperature sensor 400 is arranged in the mounting groove 510. That is, when the temperature sensor 400 is installed, the temperature sensor 400 is directly inserted into the mounting groove 510 of the bracket 500, so that the installation of the temperature sensor 400 is realized. The installation of the temperature sensor 400 is facilitated, and the structure is simple and the manufacturing cost is low.
[0050] Further, as shown in Figures 4 to 6 The bracket 500 is a cylinder, and an inner wall surface of the cylinder forms the mounting groove 510; the cylinder includes an open end, so that the temperature sensor 400 is installed in the mounting groove 510 through the open end. The inner wall surface of the mounting groove 510 is provided with a protruding portion, and the protruding portion abuts against the temperature sensor 400. That is, when the temperature sensor 400 is installed in the mounting groove 510, the protruding portion abuts against the temperature sensor 400, and the temperature sensor 400 is fixed in the mounting groove 510 through the friction force between the protruding portion and the temperature sensor 400, so that the installation of the temperature sensor 400 is further facilitated, and the installation stability of the temperature sensor 400 is ensured.
[0051] Optionally, the bracket 500 is connected to the sleeve 310 by welding.
[0052] Specifically, the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 510 is provided with a crimping piece 520, the crimping piece 520 includes an elastic connecting part 521 and a crimping part 522, one end of the elastic connecting part 521 is connected with the inner wall surface of the mounting groove 510, and the other end of the elastic connecting part 521 extends to the inner side of the mounting groove 510; the crimping part 522 is connected with the other end of the elastic connecting part 521, and the crimping part 522 abuts on the temperature sensor 400.
[0053] That is, when the temperature sensor 400 is installed or disassembled, the elastic connecting part 521 will be elastically deformed, so that the crimping part 522 avoids the temperature sensor 400, so as to insert the temperature sensor 400 into the mounting groove 510 or take the temperature sensor 400 out of the mounting groove 510. And when the temperature sensor 400 is normally installed in the mounting groove 510, the elastic connecting part 521 can provide sufficient support for the crimping part 522, so that the crimping part 522 presses the temperature sensor 400 on the wall surface of the mounting groove 510.
[0054] In some embodiments, the crimping piece 520 is located on the side of the temperature sensor 400 away from the sleeve 310. That is, the crimping piece 520 presses the temperature sensor 400 on the wall surface of the mounting groove 510 close to the sleeve 310, so that the temperature parameter detected by the temperature sensor 400 is more accurate.
[0055] Optionally, the distance between the bottom end of the sleeve 310 and the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110 is 15-30 mm. Optionally, the distance between the bottom end of the sleeve 310 and the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110 is 17-28 mm. Optionally, the distance between the bottom end of the sleeve 310 and the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110 is 20-25 mm. Thus, without affecting the normal operation of the shunt assembly 300, the bottom end of the sleeve 310 is spaced apart from the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110 by a sufficient distance, so as to avoid the contact between the sleeve 310 and the condensed water in the case that there is condensed water on the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110.
[0056] The distance between the bottom end of the sleeve 310 and the bottom wall surface of the inner cavity 110 includes but is not limited to 15 mm, 17 mm, 21 mm, 24 mm, 25 mm, 27 mm, 28 mm or 30 mm.
[0057] The air pipe type air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model comprises the indoor unit of any one of the above embodiments. The indoor unit of the air pipe type air conditioner of the embodiment of the utility model has the shunt assembly 300 which utilizes the throttling hole 331 on the throttling section 330 of the main pipe body 320 to achieve the throttling effect of reducing the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, so that the refrigerant after temperature reduction enters the heat exchanger 200 in turn through the liquid separation cavity and the pipe cavity of the liquid separation branch pipe body 340, thereby replacing the mode of throttling the refrigerant by using the capillary tube in the related art. Among them, since the liquid separation cavity is the refrigerant after throttling and temperature reduction, and the liquid separation branch pipe body 340 only provides a channel for the refrigerant to flow into the heat exchanger 200, the temperature of the refrigerant in the liquid separation cavity is the temperature of the refrigerant at the inlet of the heat exchanger 200 to be detected in the related art. And in the case that the condensate water is accumulated at the bottom 210 of the heat exchanger 200, the sleeve pipe 310 and the throttling section 330 will not be in direct contact with the condensate water, so that the refrigerant in the liquid separation cavity is not affected by the condensate water, and the temperature sensor 400 installed on the sleeve pipe 310 can more accurately detect the temperature of the refrigerant at the inlet of the heat exchanger 200.
[0058] At this point, those skilled in the art should recognize that, although the plurality of exemplary embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described in detail herein, many other variants or modifications conforming to the principles of the utility model can be directly determined or deduced according to the content disclosed by the utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. Therefore, the scope of the utility model should be understood and recognized as covering all these other variants or modifications.
