Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically to a high-efficiency and energy-saving air conditioning terminal device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern building air conditioning systems, air conditioning terminal units, as a key component that directly exchanges heat and humidity with the indoor environment, play a crucial role in accurately delivering centrally processed air to various rooms or areas and adjusting indoor temperature and humidity according to actual needs to create a comfortable indoor environment. Their operating status directly affects the comfort of the indoor environment and the energy consumption performance of the entire air conditioning system.

[0003] However, existing air conditioning terminal devices have revealed many problems in practical applications. In large indoor plazas or densely populated public places, the air circulation system of air conditioning terminal devices has long faced severe disinfection challenges. Due to the open space and high mobility of people, traditional manual disinfection methods are inefficient and difficult to achieve continuous dynamic sterilization. As a result, bacteria, viruses and microorganisms in the air can easily grow and multiply in the air conditioning ducts and spread to the entire space with the air supply. Especially in the winter heating mode, the humidity of the air decreases after heating, and the dry environment makes it easier for viruses to become more active, further aggravating the risk of cross-infection. Existing devices lack efficient disinfection methods for airborne pathogens and cannot meet public health and safety requirements. Utility Model Content

The air conditioning terminal device has a reasonable and compact structure. It achieves the regulation of air supply humidity by setting a humidification device and achieves a high-efficiency disinfection function by setting a filtration device.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is as follows: a high-efficiency and energy-saving air conditioning terminal device, including a shell, a humidifying device, a filtering device, an air outlet, and an air inlet pipe. The humidifying device is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the shell, and the filtering device is provided on the other side of the inner cavity of the shell. The outer wall of the shell corresponding to the filtering device is provided with multiple air outlets. The outer wall of the shell is connected to the upper and lower parts of the outer wall with air inlet pipes respectively. The humidifying device includes a water circulation mechanism, a frame, a filter cloth, filter holes, connecting holes, a water storage tank, and a collection tank. The water circulation mechanism is located on the outer side of the shell, the frame is located in the inner cavity of the shell, the filter cloth is movably installed in the frame, the front part of the filter cloth is provided with multiple filter holes, the inner wall of the filter cloth is provided with multiple connecting holes, the multiple connecting holes correspond to and are connected to the multiple filter holes, the top of the frame is provided with a water storage tank, the bottom of the water storage tank is provided with multiple drainage holes, the bottom of the frame is provided with a collection tank, and the output end of the water circulation mechanism is located in the water storage tank.

[0006] Furthermore, the water circulation mechanism includes a water storage tank, a micro water pump, and a hose. The water storage tank is located on the side wall of the outer shell. A drainage limiting hole is provided on the lower part of one side of the outer wall of the frame. The drainage limiting hole is connected to the collection tank and the water storage tank respectively. A water inlet limiting hole is provided on the upper part of one side of the outer wall of the frame. A micro water pump is provided on one side of the water storage tank. The output end of the micro water pump is connected to the hose. The water outlet end of the hose penetrates the side wall of the outer shell and is connected to the water inlet limiting hole.

[0007] Furthermore, sliding handles are slidably connected to the top left and right sides of the filter cloth.

[0008] Furthermore, the outer wall dimension of the sliding handle is smaller than the inner wall dimension of the water storage tank, and the outer wall dimension of the filter cloth is the same as the inner wall dimension of the frame.

[0009] Furthermore, the filtration device includes a hollow U-shaped block, a photocatalytic filter, and a fine filter. The hollow U-shaped block is connected to the inner wall of the outer shell. The top wall of the hollow U-shaped block is provided with an insertion hole. The photocatalytic filter passes through the insertion hole and is movably inserted into the hollow U-shaped block. A fine filter is provided on the front side of the hollow U-shaped block.

[0010] Furthermore, an ultraviolet germicidal lamp is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate of the hollow U-shaped block.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner wall of the air outlet is rotatably connected with a strip of cloth that allows the air outlet's direction and speed to be seen.

[0016] This invention uses water added to a storage tank, which is then used to make the water flow towards the filter cloth by gravity, accelerating the wetting process. After the air passes through the wet filter cloth, it enters the photocatalytic filter, where it is catalytically degraded by ultraviolet germicidal lamps and decomposed bacterial toxins. Finally, the air that has passed through the fine filter is blown into the room through the air outlet. The evaporation of the filter cloth absorbs heat and lowers the air temperature, reducing the need for compressor operation. In winter, no additional humidification equipment is required, achieving energy saving and disinfection.

[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5As shown: A high-efficiency and energy-saving air conditioning terminal device includes a housing 1, a humidifying device, a filtering device, an air outlet 12 and an air inlet pipe 3. The humidifying device is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the housing 1, and the filtering device is provided on the other side of the inner cavity of the housing. The outer wall of the housing corresponding to the filtering device is provided with multiple air outlets 12. The outer wall of the housing 1 is connected to the upper and lower sides by the air inlet pipe 3. A sealing ring 21 is provided between the air inlet pipe and the side wall of the housing. The humidification device includes a water circulation mechanism 2, a frame 4, a filter cloth 5, filter holes 7, connecting holes 8, a water storage tank 9, and a collection tank 10. The water circulation mechanism 2 is located on the outer side of the outer shell 1, the frame 4 is located inside the outer shell 1, the filter cloth 5 is movably disposed within the frame, the front of the filter cloth has multiple filter holes 7, and the inner wall of the filter cloth 5 has multiple connecting holes 8, which correspond to and communicate with the filter holes 7. The top of the frame 4 has a water storage tank 9, the bottom of the water storage tank 9 has multiple drainage holes 206, and the bottom of the frame 4 has a collection tank 10. The output end of the water circulation mechanism 2 is located inside the water storage tank 9. Water is added to the water storage tank 9, and under its own gravity, the water flows towards the filter cloth 5, and through the connecting holes 8, the filter holes 7 cause the filter cloth 5 to become wet more quickly, making the entire filter cloth 5 wet.

[0027] The filter cloth 5 has sliding handles 6 slidably connected to its top left and right sides respectively. When the filter cloth 5 needs to be replaced, simply pull the sliding handles 6 to remove the filter cloth 5 from the frame 4. The sliding handles 6 are smaller than the water tank 9, allowing them to slide smoothly within the inner wall of the water tank 9. The outer wall size of the filter cloth 5 is the same as the inner wall size of the frame 4. The matching size of the filter cloth 5 and the frame 4 allows the filter cloth 5 to be tightly installed within the frame 4 without any gaps or wrinkles.

[0028] When the air conditioner blows out cold or warm air, water is added to the water storage tank 9. Under the action of its own gravity, the water flows towards the filter cloth 5 and through the connecting hole 8, the filter hole 7 makes the filter cloth 5 wet more quickly, so that the entire filter cloth 5 becomes wet. Then the airflow entering the outer shell 1 passes through the wet filter cloth 5, making the airflow wet as well.

[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the water circulation mechanism includes a water storage tank 201, a micro water pump 204, and a hose 205. The water storage tank 201 is located on the side wall of the outer casing 1. A drainage limiting hole 202 is provided on the lower part of one side of the outer wall of the frame 4, which is connected to the collection tank 10 and the water storage tank 201. An inlet limiting hole 203 is provided on the upper part of one side of the outer wall of the frame 4. A micro water pump 204 is provided on one side of the water storage tank 201, and the output end of the micro water pump 204 is connected to the hose 205. The outlet end of the hose 205 penetrates the side wall of the outer casing and is connected to the inlet limiting hole 203. When the required amount of water is added to the water storage tank 201, the micro water pump 204 is activated, causing the water in the water storage tank 201 to be pumped out and guided through the hose 205 into the inlet limiting hole 203, allowing the water to flow into the water storage tank 9.

[0030] First, add the required water to the water storage tank 201. Then, start the micro water pump 204 to draw water out of the water storage tank 201 and guide it through the hose 205 into the water inlet limiting hole 203, so that the water flows into the water storage tank 9. Then, the water falls evenly into the filter cloth 5 through the upper drain hole 206. Finally, the water collected in the collection tank 10 is discharged into the water storage tank 201 through the drain limiting hole 202, thus completing the water recycling.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the filtration device includes a hollow U-shaped block 13, a photocatalytic filter 15, and a fine filter 16. The hollow U-shaped block 13 is connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The top wall of the hollow U-shaped block 13 has an insertion hole, through which the photocatalytic filter 15 is movably inserted into the hollow U-shaped block 13. The front side of the hollow U-shaped block 13 is provided with the fine filter 16. An ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14 is provided on the inner side of the vertical plate of the hollow U-shaped block. Under the combined action of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14 and the photocatalytic filter 15, the filtered air is disinfected and sterilized. Because the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14 causes the photocatalyst above the photocatalytic filter 15 to produce a catalytic degradation function, it can degrade toxic and harmful gases in the air, kill a variety of bacteria, and decompose the toxins released by bacteria or fungi for harmless treatment. After being disinfected and sterilized by the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14 and the photocatalytic filter 15, the air is finally filtered through the fine filter 16, so that the air blown out will not carry bacteria and viruses. It is then blown into the open indoor space through the air outlet 12 above the fixing ring 11. Furthermore, because the liquid water on the surface of the filter cloth 5 evaporates during the air flow, it absorbs the sensible heat in the air, thereby lowering the air temperature and reducing the compressor running time. At the same time, it can effectively humidify in winter, thus eliminating the need to turn on the humidifier, thereby achieving high energy efficiency and disinfection and sterilization in open spaces with high personnel mobility.

[0032] A cloth strip 22 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the air outlet 12. A fixing ring is provided on the outer side of the air outlet. The cloth strip 22 shows the air outlet 12's airflow direction and speed. The outer wall size of the air outlet 12 is the same as the inner wall size of the fixing ring 11, so that the air outlet 12 can be stably embedded in the fixing ring 11, ensuring the sealing and stability of the entire device during operation.

[0033] A cover plate 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the outer casing 1, and a groove block 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 23. The cover plate 23 can be easily opened to replace the filter cloth 5, and the groove block 24 is fixedly connected to the top of the cover plate 23, which facilitates the opening of the cover plate 23. A nameplate 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the outer wall of the outer casing 1. The nameplate 25 can indicate key information such as the product model, manufacturer, production date, and rated power. A status light 17 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the outer wall of the outer casing 1. The status light 17 can intuitively show the user the operating status of the equipment.

[0034] To facilitate observation of the water level in the water storage tank, an observation window 18 is provided on the front side of the outer wall of the water storage tank 201. An outer frame 19 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the observation window 18, which can help improve the structural strength of the observation window 18. A water tank cover 20 is threadedly connected to the top front side of the outer wall of the water storage tank 201, which allows for timely addition of water to the water storage tank 201.

[0035] Working principle

[0036] When the air conditioner starts cooling or heating mode, water is added to the water storage tank 9 of this device. The water, through the gap between the water storage tank 9 and the filter cloth 5, and the connecting hole 8, allows the water to evenly penetrate into the filter cloth 5. The connecting hole 8 forms capillary channels in the filter cloth 5, accelerating the lateral diffusion of moisture and enabling the filter cloth 5 to quickly achieve full surface wetting. When the filter cloth 5 needs to be replaced after a period of use, simply pull the sliding handle 6 to remove the filter cloth 5 from the frame 4. Then, place the new filter cloth 5 through the gap at the top of the frame 4, thus completing the replacement of the filter cloth 5. The air filtered through the filter cloth 5 enters the hollow U-shaped block 13. Under the combined action of the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14 and the photocatalytic filter 15, the filtered air is disinfected and sterilized. Because the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14... The photocatalyst above the photocatalytic filter 15 generates a catalytic degradation function, which can degrade toxic and harmful gases in the air, kill a variety of bacteria, and decompose the toxins released by bacteria or fungi for harmless treatment. After being disinfected and sterilized by the ultraviolet germicidal lamp 14 and the photocatalytic filter 15, the air is finally filtered through the fine filter 16, so that the air blown out at the end will not carry bacteria and viruses. It is then blown into the open indoor space through the air outlet 12 above the fixing ring 11. As the liquid water on the surface of the filter cloth 5 evaporates during the air flow, it absorbs the sensible heat in the air, which lowers the air temperature and reduces the compressor running time. At the same time, it can effectively humidify in winter, so there is no need to turn on the humidifier. This achieves high energy efficiency and disinfection and sterilization in open spaces with high personnel mobility.

[0037] The above description is merely an illustration of some principles of this utility model. This specification is not intended to limit this utility model to the specific structure and applicable scope shown. Therefore, all possible modifications and equivalents that may be used fall within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.

[0038] Except for the technical features described in the specification, all other technical features are known to those skilled in the art.
