Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air curtain machine technology, and in particular to an air curtain machine with cooling. Background Technology

[0002] Air curtain machines are typically installed at the entrances of large spaces such as shopping malls, workshops, and warehouses. Their function is to create a certain airflow at the entrance, providing a comfortable experience for people entering and exiting, while reducing the outflow of cool indoor air to the outside.

[0003] Existing technology 202223541509.6 discloses a circulating cold storage door overflow prevention air curtain machine, which is a common existing air curtain machine structure. 202311021769.7 discloses a dust removal device for an explosion-proof air curtain, whose air curtain has a cooling function and outputs cold air. However, both of these air curtain machines require the air curtain size to be basically consistent with the door width during design. When they are inconsistent, the cold air output is not comprehensive or waste is caused. In addition, the latter has relatively high power consumption due to the cooling of the compressor, and both use centrifugal cross-flow fans with relatively small air volume. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an air curtain machine with cooling air that can handle doors of different sizes without redesigning the entire device.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model discloses an air curtain machine with air conditioning, which is installed above the doorway and includes an air conditioner and its variable diameter duct.

[0006] The air outlet of the air conditioner is located at its bottom; the projection of the top inlet of the variable diameter duct on the bottom of the air conditioner surrounds the entire air outlet, and the top inlet of the variable diameter duct is connected to the air outlet of the air conditioner.

[0007] The size of the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct corresponds to the size of the doorway, and the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct faces the doorway; the shape of the variable diameter duct gradually transitions from the top inlet to the bottom outlet.

[0008] As an optional implementation, the air conditioner uses an axial flow fan.

[0009] As another alternative implementation, the air conditioner is an evaporative air conditioner with a cooling function.

[0010] As another optional implementation, the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct is rectangular in shape, the length of which is the same as the width of the doorway, and the width of which is 10-200mm.

[0011] As another alternative implementation, the top inlet of the variable diameter duct is shaped as a closed curve or a polygon.

[0012] As another optional implementation, the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct is provided with louvers to guide air and make the airflow uniform.

[0013] As another optional implementation, the number of air conditioners and their variable diameter ducts is two, the variable diameter ducts of the two air conditioners are arranged side by side, and the sum of the widths of the bottom outlets of the two variable diameter ducts is the same as the width of the doorway.

[0014] As another optional implementation, there are multiple air conditioners and their variable diameter ducts, with each air conditioner's variable diameter duct arranged side by side, and the sum of the widths of the bottom outlets of all the variable diameter ducts being the same as the width of the doorway.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The variable-diameter duct of this embodiment gradually transitions from the shape of the top inlet to the shape of the bottom outlet, thus guiding the airflow from the cooler outlet toward the doorway. Since the size of the bottom outlet of the variable-diameter duct corresponds to the size of the doorway, the air curtain machine of this embodiment can accommodate doors of different sizes. Only the size of the variable-diameter duct needs to be changed without redesigning the entire device, which improves application flexibility and reduces manufacturing costs. In addition, this embodiment uses a cooler with lower power consumption, which consumes less power than a compressor refrigeration device. Attached Figure Description

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] See Figures 1-4 This utility model discloses an air curtain machine with air conditioning, which is installed above the doorway and includes an air conditioner 1 and its variable diameter air duct 2.

[0024] The air outlet 11 of the air conditioner 1 is located at its bottom; the projection of the top inlet of the variable diameter duct 2 on the bottom of the air conditioner 1 surrounds the entire air outlet 11, and the top inlet of the variable diameter duct 2 is connected to the air outlet 11 of the air conditioner 1.

[0025] The size of the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct 2 corresponds to the size of the doorway, and the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct 2 faces the doorway; the shape of the variable diameter duct 2 gradually transitions from the shape of the top inlet to the shape of the bottom outlet.

[0026] In this embodiment of the invention, the variable-diameter duct 2 gradually transitions from the shape of the top inlet to the shape of the bottom outlet, thus guiding the air from the cooler outlet toward the doorway. Since the size of the bottom outlet of the variable-diameter duct 2 corresponds to the size of the doorway, the air curtain machine of this embodiment can accommodate doors of different sizes. Only the size of the variable-diameter duct needs to be changed without redesigning the entire device, which improves application flexibility and reduces manufacturing costs. In addition, this embodiment uses a cooler with lower power consumption, which consumes less power than a compressor refrigeration device.

[0027] In an optional embodiment, the air conditioner 1 employs an axial fan 12 with a larger air volume than a centrifugal cross-flow fan, which discharges air toward an outlet 11 at the bottom outlet.

[0028] In another optional embodiment, the air conditioner 1 is an evaporative air conditioner with a cooling function.

[0029] In another optional embodiment, the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct 2 is rectangular, with the length of the rectangle matching the width of the doorway, and the width of the rectangle being 10–200 mm. This uniform width allows the cool air from the air cooler outlet to be evenly guided towards the doorway, while the relatively small width ensures a high outlet velocity, promoting airflow.

[0030] In another optional embodiment, the top inlet of the variable diameter duct 2 is shaped as a closed curve or a polygon. The top inlet of the variable diameter duct 2 transitions to the bottom outlet through multiple planes or curved surfaces.

[0031] In another optional embodiment, the bottom outlet of the variable diameter duct 2 is provided with louvers 21 for guiding airflow to ensure uniform airflow.

[0032] In another optional embodiment, there are two air conditioners 1 and two variable diameter ducts 2, with the two variable diameter ducts 2 of the air conditioners 1 arranged side by side, and the sum of the widths of the bottom outlets of the two variable diameter ducts 2 being the same as the width of the doorway.

[0033] In another optional embodiment, there are multiple air conditioners 1 and their variable diameter ducts 2, with each air conditioner 1's variable diameter duct 2 arranged side by side, and the sum of the widths of the bottom outlets of all the variable diameter ducts 2 being the same as the width of the doorway.
