[0002] With societal development, air conditioners and other electrical appliances have become increasingly widely used. To minimize space requirements during installation, air conditioners can be installed within the ceiling, meaning the indoor unit can be installed inside the ceiling. However, in spaces with narrow ceilings, such as sideboards or bedrooms, the larger size of the air conditioner makes it impossible to install in such confined spaces. Utility Model Content

[0008] Since the heat exchanger and fan assembly are arranged sequentially along the depth direction, and there is an overlap between the heat exchanger and fan assembly, the heat exchanger and fan assembly can be arranged at least partially overlapping in the depth direction of the shell. This reduces the space occupied by the heat exchanger and fan assembly in the depth direction, thereby reducing the length of the entire air conditioner in the depth direction, reducing the volume of the air conditioner, making the entire air conditioner smaller, and facilitating its installation.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indications in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.

[0033] With social development, air conditioners and other electrical appliances are becoming increasingly widely used. To minimize space occupation during installation, air conditioners can be installed within the ceiling, meaning the indoor unit can be installed inside the ceiling. However, in scenarios with narrow ceilings, such as sideboards or bedrooms, existing air conditioners are often quite large, requiring significant space for installation and making them unsuitable for narrow spaces. The air conditioner provided in this application addresses these issues by reducing its overall size and thus the space required for installation, allowing it to be installed in narrow spaces such as sideboards or bedrooms.

[0034] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0035] Please see Figure 1 This application provides an air conditioner 10, which can be a ducted air conditioner. The air conditioner 10 provided in this application can reduce the size of the air conditioner 10, making the entire air conditioner 10 smaller and easier to install.

[0036] The entire air conditioner 10 is installed inside the ceiling (e.g.) Figure 2 As shown, an air outlet 22 connected to the air outlet 113 and a return air outlet 23 connected to the air inlet 114 are installed on the ceiling. The indoor air enters the receiving cavity 112 through the air inlet 114 after passing through the return air outlet 23. After heat exchange by the heat exchanger 500, it is blown into the room through the air outlet 113 and the air outlet 22.

[0037] In order to ensure that the air after heat exchange can be blown into the room as quickly as possible, the air outlet 113 and the air blower 22 are basically only a very small distance apart, so that the air outlet 113 and the air blower 22 can be basically overlapped. It can be considered that the air outlet 113 is located at the air blower 22, that is, it is located in the area of ​​the air blower 22.

[0038] The return air vent 23 and the air outlet 22 can be set on the same side of the ceiling, so that the entire ceiling structure 20 has an air outlet on only one side, which makes the entire ceiling look cleaner and more beautiful.

[0039] It should be noted that the air conditioner 10 includes two parts: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The indoor unit is installed indoors, and the outdoor unit is installed indoors. The fact that the air conditioner 10 is installed in the ceiling means that the indoor unit of the air conditioner 10 is installed in the ceiling, not that both the indoor and outdoor units are installed in the ceiling. This part is common knowledge in the field and will not be elaborated further.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment of the application, the air conditioner 10 includes: a housing 100, a heat exchanger 500, and a fan assembly 300. The housing 100 has a receiving cavity 112. The heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300 are both installed in the receiving cavity 112. Along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the heat exchanger 500 on the housing 100.

[0041] The housing 100 is the main body of the entire air conditioner 10, providing a mounting base for other components of the air conditioner 10. These other components are installed within the receiving cavity 112 of the housing 100. The housing 100 protects these components, reducing the risk of external impurities entering the receiving cavity 112 and protecting the internal structure. Furthermore, placing all other components within the housing 100 allows the air conditioner 10 to form a unified whole, facilitating its installation and transportation.

[0042] The housing 100 is roughly rectangular. For ease of description, the housing 100 is defined by three directions: height Z, width X, and depth Y. The height Z is the vertical direction of the air conditioner 10 in the installed state, the width X is the direction of the longest side of the housing 100, and the depth Y is the direction perpendicular to both the height Z and width X.

[0043] In addition, the housing 100 also has an air inlet 114 and an air outlet 113 communicating with the receiving cavity 112. The air inlet 114 and the air outlet 113 are arranged along the depth direction Y. For ease of description, the housing 100 is generally a cuboid, and the housing 100 has three directions: width direction X, depth direction Y, and height direction Z. The height direction Z refers to the vertical direction of the housing 100 in the installed and used state. The width direction X indicates the direction in which the length of the housing 100 is the longest. The depth direction Y is the direction perpendicular to both the width direction X and the height direction Z, and is also the direction away from the air outlet 113. For ease of description, the orientation of the air outlet 113 is defined as front, and the orientation of the air inlet 114 is defined as rear. Along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the vertical direction up is called up, and the vertical direction down is called down. Along the width direction X, the side where the electrical control component 700 and the water pump component 800 are located is called right, and the other side is called left.

[0044] The air outlet 113 is positioned at the front, and the air inlet 114 is positioned at the rear, meaning the air outlet 113 is located in front of the air inlet 114. The fan assembly 300 and the heat exchanger 500 are arranged sequentially along the depth direction Y of the housing 100. The fan assembly 300 can be positioned in front of the heat exchanger 500, or the heat exchanger 500 can be positioned in front of the fan assembly 300; the specific positions are not limited.

[0045] If the projection of the heat exchanger 500 onto the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the fan assembly 300 onto the housing 100 along the height direction Z of the housing 100, then the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300 have an overlapping portion along the depth direction Y of the housing 100. The heat exchanger 500 is mainly used for heat exchange with the air entering the receiving cavity 112. Under otherwise unchanged conditions, the larger the contact area between the heat exchanger 500 and the air, the better the heat exchange effect. To increase the surface area of ​​the heat exchanger 500, it can be placed at an angle, creating a certain space between the heat exchanger 500 and the housing 100. Since the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300 are arranged sequentially along the depth direction Y, and there is an overlap between the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly, the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly can be arranged at least partially overlapping in the depth direction Y of the housing 100. This reduces the space occupied by the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly in the depth direction Y, thereby reducing the length of the entire air conditioner 10 in the depth direction Y, reducing the volume of the air conditioner 10, making the entire air conditioner 10 miniaturized, and facilitating the installation of the air conditioner 10.

[0046] In this configuration, along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the heat exchanger 500 onto the housing 100 and the projection of the fan assembly 300 onto the housing 100 at least partially overlap. The height direction Z indicates that it is the projection direction of both the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300. Both the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300 are projected along the same direction Z. For ease of description, the two sides on the housing 100 along the height direction Z are defined as the top wall and the bottom wall, respectively. The top wall is located above the bottom wall. This means that along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300 can be simultaneously projected onto the bottom wall or simultaneously projected onto the top wall.

[0047] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 500 is positioned near the air inlet 114, and the fan assembly 300 is positioned near the air outlet 113. That is, of the two components, the heat exchanger 500 is positioned closer to the air inlet 114, and the fan assembly 300 is positioned closer to the air outlet 113. After entering the receiving cavity 112, external air first exchanges heat with the heat exchanger 500, then passes through the fan assembly 300 and is blown out from the air outlet 113. The heat exchanger 500 is located on the suction side of the fan assembly 300; this arrangement can be considered as a suction-type air conditioner 10.

[0048] In the heat exchanger 500 and the fan assembly 300, the fan assembly 300 is positioned closer to the air outlet 113. The air blown from the fan assembly 300 can be directly directed into the indoor environment through the air outlet 113 without passing through other components, reducing airflow loss and thus increasing the overall air delivery distance of the air conditioner 10. Furthermore, since the air blown from the fan assembly 300 does not pass through the heat exchanger 500, the static pressure resistance of the entire air conditioner 10 is also improved.

[0049] Since the fan assembly 300 is located closer to the air outlet 113, if the fan assembly 300 needs to be replaced or repaired, the entire fan assembly 300 can be inspected directly from the air outlet 113. The operation is simple and convenient, and there is no need to set up a separate inspection port.

[0050] In some embodiments, the heat exchanger 500 includes a first evaporation section 510 and a second evaporation section 520, wherein the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 are arranged at an angle b1.

[0051] Along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first evaporation section 510 on the housing 100.

[0052] and / or

[0053] Along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second evaporation section 520 on the housing 100.

[0054] The first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 are arranged at an angle b1. The shape formed by the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 can be V-shaped or arc-shaped. The angle b1 between the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 makes the entire heat exchanger 500 have a bent part. While ensuring the heat exchange area, the bent heat exchanger 500 can reduce the space occupied in the depth direction Y, thereby reducing the depth dimension of the entire air conditioner 10 and making the entire air conditioner 10 miniaturized.

[0055] Along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first evaporation section 510 on the housing 100; and / or, along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second evaporation section 520 on the housing 100.

[0056] There are a total of 3 cases. The first case is that the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 along the height direction Z of the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first evaporation section 510 on the housing 100 and the projection of the second evaporation section 520 on the housing 100.

[0057] The second scenario is as follows: along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the first evaporation section 510 on the housing 100, and is offset from the projection of the second evaporation section 520 on the housing 100.

[0058] The third scenario is that, along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the second evaporation section 520 on the housing 100, and is offset from the projection of the first evaporation section 510 on the housing 100.

[0059] Along the height direction Z of the housing 100, the projection of the fan assembly 300 onto the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projections of the first evaporator section 510 and / or the second evaporator section 520 onto the housing 100, such that the fan assembly 300 and the first evaporator section 510 and / or the second evaporator section 520 are at least partially overlapped in the depth direction Y of the housing 100. The fan assembly 300 can be arranged utilizing a portion of the space below the heat exchanger 500. In the depth direction Y of the housing 100, the fan assembly 300 and the heat exchanger 500 can be compactly arranged, reducing the space occupied by the heat exchanger 500 and the impeller assembly in the depth direction Y, thereby reducing the overall length of the air conditioner 10 in the depth direction Y, reducing the volume of the air conditioner 10, enabling the entire air conditioner 10 to be miniaturized, and facilitating the installation of the air conditioner 10.

[0060] In some embodiments, at least a portion of the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 are spaced apart to form a gap, and at least a portion of the fan assembly 300 is disposed within the gap.

[0061] In this configuration, one end of the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 are positioned close to each other, while the other end extends away from each other, making the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 roughly V-shaped. The openings of the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 are positioned facing the fan assembly 300. The fan assembly 300 can be positioned at the openings of the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 and partially embedded in the gap between the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520.

[0062] Since the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 are positioned near the air inlet 114, the first evaporation section 510 can be inclined to increase its contact area with the air. A larger inclination angle c1 relative to the height direction Z results in a larger heat exchange area, but also a larger space occupied in the depth direction Y. Conversely, a smaller inclination angle c1 results in a smaller space occupied in the depth direction Y, but also a smaller heat exchange area. To balance the space occupied in the depth direction Y and the heat exchange area, the inclination angle c1 of the first evaporation section 510 relative to the height direction Z can be between 30 degrees and 60 degrees.

[0063] Specifically, the tilt angle c1 of the first evaporation section 510 relative to the height direction Z can be 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, 60 degrees, etc.

[0064] Similarly, to increase the contact area between the second evaporation section 520 and the air, the second evaporation section 520 can be tilted. A larger tilt angle c2 relative to the height direction Z results in a larger heat exchange area, but also a larger space occupied in the depth direction Y. Conversely, a smaller tilt angle c2 relative to the height direction Z results in a smaller space occupied in the depth direction Y, but also a smaller heat exchange area. To balance the space occupied in the depth direction Y and the heat exchange area, the tilt angle c2 of the second evaporation section 520 relative to the height direction Z can be between 30 degrees and 60 degrees.

[0065] Specifically, the tilt angle c2 of the second evaporation section 520 relative to the height direction Z can be 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, 60 degrees, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the included angle b1 between the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 is 30 degrees to 90 degrees. Similarly, a larger included angle b1 indicates that, for the same length, the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 occupy less space in the depth direction Y, resulting in a smaller heat exchange area. Conversely, a smaller included angle b1 indicates that, for the same length, the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 occupy more space in the depth direction Y, resulting in a larger overall heat exchange area. An included angle b1 of 30 degrees to 90 degrees between the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 ensures both a smaller occupied space and a sufficient heat exchange area.

[0067] The included angle b1 between the first evaporation section 510 and the second evaporation section 520 can be 30 degrees, 45 degrees, 60 degrees, 70 degrees, 80 degrees, 90 degrees, etc.

[0068] In some embodiments, the overlap area between the projection of the fan assembly 300 onto the housing 100 and the projection of the heat exchanger 500 onto the housing 100 is less than or equal to 5 mm.

[0069] The fan assembly 300 is mainly used to introduce indoor air into the housing cavity 112 through the air inlet 114. If the distance between the fan assembly 300 and the heat exchanger 500 is too close, the air entering the housing cavity 112 will be concentrated in a certain part of the heat exchanger 500 for heat exchange, resulting in a reduction in the heat exchange utilization rate of the entire heat exchanger 500. In order to reduce the loss of heat exchange, the overlapping area of ​​the projection of the fan assembly 300 on the housing 100 and the projection of the heat exchanger 500 on the housing 100 is less than or equal to 5mm.

[0070] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the air conditioner 10 further includes an electronic control component 700 and a water pump component 800, and the housing 100 also has a mounting cavity 115, in which the electronic control component 700 and the water pump component 800 are disposed; along the width direction X of the housing 100, the projection of the electronic control component 700 on the housing 100 and the projection of the water pump component 800 on the housing 100 at least partially overlap.

[0071] A drip tray is located below the heat exchanger 500 to collect condensate from the heat exchanger 500. The water pump assembly 800 is primarily used to discharge the condensate from the drip tray to the outside of the air conditioner 10. The electrical control assembly 700 is used for electrical connection with the water pump assembly 800 and other electrical components. The water pump assembly 800 and the electrical control assembly 700 are typically located outside the housing 112, i.e., on the left or right side of the entire housing 100.

[0072] The water pump assembly 800 and the electronic control assembly 700 are arranged along the depth direction Y of the housing 100, that is, the water pump assembly 800 is generally located behind the electronic control assembly 700. Along the width direction X of the housing 100, the projection of the electronic control assembly 700 onto the housing 100 at least partially overlaps with the projection of the water pump assembly 800 onto the housing 100. This indicates that the electronic control assembly 700 and the water pump assembly 800 are also partially staggered along the depth direction Y of the housing 100. Without reducing the volume of the water pump assembly 800 and the electronic control assembly 700, the overall space occupied by the electronic control assembly 700 and the water pump assembly 800 in the depth direction Y of the housing 100 can be reduced. This also allows the entire air conditioner 10 to be compactly arranged along the depth direction Y of the housing 100, enabling the air conditioner 10 to be miniaturized and facilitating its installation.

[0073] In some embodiments, in the pump assembly 800 and the electrical control assembly 700, the electrical control assembly 700 is positioned closer to the receiving cavity 112; along the air outlet direction, the pump assembly 800 is positioned behind the electrical control assembly 700. Positioning the electrical control assembly 700 closer to the receiving cavity 112 facilitates wiring of electrical components within the receiving cavity 112, while positioning it in front of the pump assembly 800 facilitates easy disconnection of wires when inspecting other electrical components.

[0074] In some embodiments, the fan assembly 300 includes a drive member 310 and a plurality of centrifugal fans 320. The drive member 310 is disposed between two adjacent centrifugal fans 320 and is driveably connected to the plurality of centrifugal fans 320. The drive member 310 can simultaneously drive the plurality of centrifugal fans 320, enabling the plurality of centrifugal fans 320 to move synchronously.
