[0040] The term "and / or" describes an association between objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B means: A or B, or A and B.

[0041] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown in the present disclosure, an air conditioner is provided. The heat exchanger 20 of the air conditioner can not only adapt to the wind speed at different positions on its windward side, but also avoid the risk of poor drainage on the surface of the heat exchanger 20, resulting in a better user experience.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, a heat exchanger 20 for an air conditioner includes: a middle straight plate section 21, an upper straight plate section 22, and a lower straight plate section 23. The middle straight plate section 21 is vertically disposed in the air conditioner and includes multiple middle heat exchange units 24, each of which is provided with a middle enhanced heat transfer structure 25. The upper straight plate section 22 is bent and connected above the middle straight plate section 21 and includes multiple upper heat exchange units 24, each of which is provided with an upper enhanced heat transfer structure 25. The lower straight plate section 23 is bent and connected below the middle straight plate section 21 and includes multiple lower heat exchange units 24, each of which is provided with a lower enhanced heat transfer structure 25. The lower straight plate section 23 and the upper straight plate section 22 are inclined toward the same side of the middle straight plate section 21.

[0044] Specifically, the air conditioner includes a casing. An air inlet 12 and an air outlet 13 are provided on the side wall of the casing 10. An air duct is provided within the mounting cavity 11 of the casing 10, communicating with both the air inlet 12 and the air outlet 13, and the airflow direction of the duct is limited to from the air inlet 12 to the air outlet 13. The heat exchanger 20 is configured as an integral plate structure, and the entire heat exchanger 20 is arranged vertically. The heat exchanger 20 includes an upper straight plate section 22, a middle straight plate section 21, and a lower straight plate section 23, with the middle straight plate section 21 being vertically arranged. The upper straight plate section 22 is located above the middle straight plate section 21, and its upper end is inclined towards the air inlet 12. The lower straight plate section 23 is located below the middle straight plate section 21, and its lower end is inclined towards the air inlet 12. This allows the heat exchanger 20 to form an overall bow-shaped structure. It is understandable that the air velocity varies at different locations within the air duct when it is blown to the heat exchanger 20. Therefore, designing the heat exchanger 20 as a bow-shaped structure is more conducive to adapting the heat exchanger 20 to the air velocity at different locations on its windward side, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20. Simultaneously, to increase the heat exchange area of ​​the heat exchanger 20, the existing straight-plate heat exchanger 20 needs to be tilted, which results in the heat exchanger 20 occupying more space in the horizontal direction. Therefore, designing the heat exchanger 20 as a bow-shaped structure can increase the heat exchange area while reducing the space occupied by the heat exchanger 20 in the horizontal direction.

[0045] In the above embodiment, since the sidewall of the middle straight plate section 21 is a vertical plane, the area of ​​the inclined plane of the heat exchanger 20 as a whole can be reduced, thereby avoiding the risk of poor drainage on the surface of the heat exchanger 20. Meanwhile, the included angle α between the upper straight plate section 22 and the middle straight plate section 21 can be set according to the size of the casing 10. For example, the included angle α between the upper straight plate section 22 and the middle straight plate section 21 can be 100°, 110°, 120°, 130°, or 140°. It is understood that the heat exchanger 20 will produce condensate during air conditioning operation. Therefore, making the included angle α greater than or equal to 100° can increase the slope of the upper straight plate section 22, further avoiding the risk of poor drainage on the surface of the heat exchanger 20. Similarly, the included angle β between the lower straight plate section 23 and the middle straight plate section 21 can be set according to the size of the housing 10. For example, the included angle β between the lower straight plate section 23 and the middle straight plate section 21 can be 100°, 110°, 120°, 130° or 140°.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the middle heat exchange unit 24 includes two pipe holes 26, and a middle enhanced heat transfer structure 25 is provided between the two pipe holes 26 to further increase heat exchange efficiency. Similarly, the upper heat exchange unit 24 and the lower heat exchange unit 24 are also provided with two pipe holes 26, and an upper enhanced heat transfer structure 25 and a lower enhanced heat transfer structure 25 are provided between the two pipe holes 26. The number of middle enhanced heat transfer structures 25 in the middle heat exchange unit 24 is less than the number of upper enhanced heat transfer structures 25 in the upper heat exchange unit 24, and less than the number of lower enhanced heat transfer structures 25 in the lower heat exchange unit 24, to reduce the wind resistance of the middle straight plate section 21.

[0047] In the above embodiments, two adjacent heat exchange units 24 can share a single pipe hole 26, or they can each have a separate pipe hole 26.

[0048] In practical applications, some existing heat exchangers 20 are configured as split-type structures to accommodate the different air velocities of each part. However, the multiple separate parts of a split-type heat exchanger 20 increase the overall scrap rate during manufacturing, raising production costs. Furthermore, the multiple separate parts of a split-type heat exchanger 20 require individual installation, increasing the installation difficulty. Therefore, this application sets the heat exchanger 20 as an integrated bow-shaped structure, which not only accommodates the different air velocities of each part but also reduces the scrap rate during manufacturing and simplifies installation.

[0049] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the central heat exchange unit 24 is the first heat exchange area A1, and the area of ​​the central enhanced heat transfer structure 25 is the first heat transfer area S1; wherein, the first quotient K1 = the first heat transfer area S1 / the first heat exchange area A1, and the first quotient K1 is greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.6.

[0050] Specifically, when adjacent intermediate heat exchange units 24 share a common tube hole, the area of ​​the intermediate heat exchange unit 24 refers to the area between the centers of the two tube holes included in the intermediate heat exchange unit 24. Making the first quotient K1 greater than or equal to 0.2 and less than or equal to 0.6 can reduce the air resistance of the intermediate straight plate section 21 while ensuring its heat exchange efficiency. Users can determine the first quotient K1 according to actual needs; for example, the first quotient K1 can be 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, or 0.6.

[0051] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the upper heat exchange unit 24 is the second heat exchange area A2, and the area of ​​the upper enhanced heat transfer structure 25 is the second heat transfer area S2; wherein, the second quotient K2 = the second heat transfer area S2 / the second heat exchange area A2, and the second quotient K2 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.8.

[0052] Specifically, when adjacent upper heat exchange units 24 share a common tube hole, the area of ​​the upper heat exchange unit 24 refers to the area between the centers of the two tube holes included in the upper heat exchange unit 24. Making the second quotient K2 greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.8 can further improve the heat exchange efficiency of the upper straight plate section 22. Users can determine the second quotient K2 according to actual needs; for example, the second quotient K2 can be 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, or 0.8.

[0053] In some embodiments, the value of the first quotient K1 divided by the second quotient K2 is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.95.

[0054] Specifically, the first quotient K1 is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the second quotient K2, and less than or equal to 0.95 times the second quotient K2. For example, the first quotient K1 divided by the second quotient K2 can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.95. This setting can reduce the air resistance of the middle straight plate section 21 while ensuring the overall heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20.

[0055] like Figures 3 to 5As shown, in some embodiments, the area of ​​the lower heat exchange unit 24 is the third heat exchange area A3, and the area of ​​the lower enhanced heat transfer structure 25 is the third heat transfer area S3; wherein, the third quotient K3 = the third heat transfer area S3 / the third heat exchange area A3, and the third quotient K3 is greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.8.

[0056] Specifically, when adjacent lower heat exchange units 24 share a common tube hole, the area of ​​the lower heat exchange unit 24 refers to the area between the centers of the two tube holes included in the lower heat exchange unit 24. Making the third quotient K3 greater than or equal to 0.4 and less than or equal to 0.8 can further improve the heat exchange efficiency of the upper straight plate section 22. Users can determine the third quotient K3 according to actual needs; for example, the third quotient K3 can be 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, or 0.8.

[0057] In some embodiments, the value of the first quotient K1 divided by the third quotient K3 is greater than or equal to 0.5 and less than or equal to 0.95.

[0058] Specifically, the first quotient K1 is greater than or equal to 0.5 times the third quotient K3, and less than or equal to 0.95 times the third quotient K3. For example, the first quotient K1 divided by the third quotient K3 can be 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, or 0.95. This setting can reduce the air resistance of the middle straight plate section 21 while ensuring the overall heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20.

[0059] like Figures 3 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the middle heat transfer strengthening structure 25 is configured as an open bridge structure, a louver structure, or a convex hull structure; the upper heat transfer strengthening structure 25 is configured as an open bridge structure, a louver structure, or a convex hull structure; and the lower heat transfer strengthening structure 25 is configured as an open bridge structure, a louver structure, or a convex hull structure.

[0060] Specifically, the middle straight plate section 21 is provided with at least one of a bridging structure, a louver structure, and a convex bulge structure to form a middle heat transfer enhancement structure 25. Similarly, the upper straight plate section 22 and the lower straight plate section 23 are also provided with at least one of a bridging structure, a louver structure, and a convex bulge structure to form an upper heat transfer enhancement structure 25 and a lower heat transfer enhancement structure 25, respectively.

[0061] It is understandable that setting structures such as louvers, bridging, or protrusions on the fins of heat exchanger 20 can enhance heat exchange, optimize fluid flow, and improve overall performance in different ways.

[0062] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure also provides an air conditioner including: a housing 10 and the aforementioned heat exchanger 20 for the air conditioner. The housing 10 is provided with a mounting cavity 11; the heat exchanger 20 for the air conditioner is installed in the mounting cavity 11.

[0063] Specifically, the housing 10 is provided with an installation cavity 11, and the side wall of the installation cavity 11 is also provided with snap fasteners such as clips or screws to form a fixing structure 15. The heat exchanger 20 can be snapped into the installation cavity by snap fasteners, or the heat exchanger 20 can be fastened to the installation cavity by fasteners.

[0064] An air conditioner using the heat exchanger 20 provided in this application can not only adapt to the wind speed at different positions on its windward side, but also avoid the risk of poor drainage on the surface of the heat exchanger 20, resulting in a better user experience.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the air conditioner further includes a fan 14. The fan 14 is disposed in the mounting cavity 11, and the fan 14 is located on one side of the heat exchanger 20; wherein the upper straight plate section 22 and the lower straight plate section 23 of the heat exchanger 20 are inclined toward the fan 14.

[0066] Specifically, the fan 14 is installed inside the air duct, and the fan 14 is located on the side of the heat exchanger 20 near the air inlet 12. The air outlet of the fan 14 is connected to the heat exchanger 20 through the air duct, and the airflow direction blown to the heat exchanger 20 is perpendicular to the heat exchanger 20 to increase the heat exchange efficiency between the heat exchanger 20 and the air.

[0067] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the side wall of the heat exchanger 20 near the fan 14 is configured as the windward side wall 201, and the side wall of the heat exchanger 20 away from the fan 14 is configured as the leeward side wall 202; when the size and shape of the windward side wall 201 correspond to the size and shape of the leeward side wall 202, the air conditioner includes a plurality of heat exchangers 20; wherein the windward side wall 201 and leeward side wall 202 of adjacent heat exchangers 20 are fitted together.

[0068] Specifically, the air conditioner is equipped with multiple heat exchangers 20, which are stacked along the air outlet direction of the fan 14, i.e., the multiple heat exchangers 20 are evenly distributed in the horizontal direction, which can further improve the overall heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchangers 20. At the same time, by adopting the structure of stacking multiple heat exchangers 20, the size of a single heat exchanger 20 can be reduced, making it easier to manufacture the heat exchangers 20.

[0069] The foregoing description and accompanying drawings fully illustrate embodiments of the present disclosure to enable those skilled in the art to practice them.

Individual components and functions are optional unless explicitly required, and the order of operation may vary.
