Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a vertical air conditioner to solve the problems of low space utilization, slow temperature adjustment, low energy efficiency, and unreasonable layout of existing air conditioning equipment in simple houses such as sunrooms.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solution:

[0009] The compressor, the second fan component, and the outdoor heat exchanger are arranged in the outdoor heat exchange zone.

[0010] The outdoor heat exchange zone, the indoor heat exchange zone, and the electrical control zone are arranged sequentially from bottom to top within the outer casing. The first air outlet includes an upper air outlet and a lower air outlet. The upper air outlet is located at the upper part of the outer casing, and the lower air outlet is located at the lower part of the outer casing.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the outer casing is a columnar structure, the outer casing includes a front wall, two side walls and two rear walls, the two side walls are respectively connected to the two sides of the front wall, one side of the two rear walls is connected to the corresponding side wall, and the other side of the two rear walls are connected and fixed to each other, and the first air inlet is disposed on the side wall.

[0012] A triangular prism structure is formed between the two rear walls and the front wall, making full use of the corner space and improving space utilization.

[0013] The first air inlet is located on the side wall, which is angled to the front and rear walls to facilitate air intake.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, transverse partitions are provided between the electrical control area and the indoor heat exchange area, as well as between the indoor heat exchange area and the outdoor heat exchange area.

[0015] Under the action of the first fan component, the indoor airflow enters the indoor heat exchange zone through the first air inlet.

[0018] The connecting cavity is formed between the longitudinal partition and the front wall, forming a vertically continuous layout. This facilitates a more uniform and reasonable airflow delivery to the upper and lower air outlets, while also reducing noise.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the first fan component is disposed on the longitudinal partition, the input end of the first fan component is connected to the indoor heat exchange zone, and the output end of the first fan component is connected to the connecting cavity.

[0020] The longitudinal partition separates the front wall from the electrical control area, the indoor heat exchange area and the outdoor heat exchange area to form a connecting cavity.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the longitudinal partition is further provided with a second air guide portion, and the second air guide portion has an air vent facing the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet, for guiding the airflow output from the first fan component to the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet.

[0024] The second air guide section is used to directly guide the airflow output from the output end of the first fan component upward and downward to the upper and lower air outlets, which helps to improve air outlet efficiency, reduce wind resistance, and reduce noise.

[0025] In some embodiments of this application, the first fan component includes at least two centrifugal fans spaced apart along the height direction of the longitudinal partition.

[0029] In some embodiments of this application, air guide grilles are formed on the upper air outlet and the lower air outlet.

[0030] The air guide grille is used to adjust the airflow direction of the upper and lower air outlets, improving comfort.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:

[0032] The vertical air conditioner involved in this application has an outdoor heat exchange zone, an indoor heat exchange zone, and an electrical control zone arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The vertical arrangement of each working area helps to reduce the floor space and improve space utilization.

[0062] In this application, the air conditioner performs a refrigeration cycle by using a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation to cool or heat an indoor space.

[0063] Low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into a high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0064] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature, high-pressure liquid refrigerant that condenses in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the expanded refrigerant in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator achieves its cooling effect by utilizing the latent heat of refrigerant evaporation to exchange heat with the material being cooled. Throughout the cycle, the air conditioner regulates the temperature of the indoor space.

[0065] The outdoor unit of an air conditioner refers to the part of the refrigeration cycle that includes the compressor and the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor unit of an air conditioner includes the indoor heat exchanger, and an expansion valve can be provided in either the indoor or outdoor unit.

[0066] The indoor and outdoor heat exchangers function as either condensers or evaporators. When the indoor heat exchanger is used as a condenser, the air conditioner functions as a heater in heating mode; when the indoor heat exchanger is used as an evaporator, the air conditioner functions as a cooler in cooling mode.

[0067] refer to Figures 1-5 This utility model proposes a vertical air conditioner, which includes an outer casing 100, a compressor 400, an indoor heat exchanger 300, an outdoor heat exchanger 600, a first fan component 200, and a second fan component 500.

[0068] The outer casing 100 is provided with an outdoor heat exchange zone 103, an indoor heat exchange zone 102 and an electrical control zone 101 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. That is, the outdoor heat exchange zone 103 is located at the bottom of the outer casing 100, the electrical control zone 101 is located at the top of the outer casing 100, and the indoor heat exchange zone 102 is located between the outdoor heat exchange zone 103 and the electrical control zone 101.

[0069] The electrical control area 101 is equipped with electrical components such as a control board. The electrical control area 101 is located at the top of the outer casing 100, which helps to prevent the condensate formed during the operation of the indoor heat exchanger 300 and the outdoor heat exchanger 600 from affecting the operation of the electrical components in the electrical control area 101.

[0070] The first fan component 200 is installed inside the outer casing 100, and the indoor heat exchanger 300 is installed inside the indoor heat exchange zone 102.

[0071] The outer casing 100 has a first air inlet 124 and a first air outlet that communicate with the indoor heat exchange zone 102, and a first air duct is formed between the first air inlet 124 and the first air outlet.

[0072] The first air duct passes through the indoor heat exchange zone 102. Under the action of the first fan component 200, the indoor airflow is input from the first air inlet 124 into the first air duct. After heat exchange by the indoor heat exchanger 300, it is output from the first air outlet to the room.

[0073] The compressor 400, the second fan component 500, and the outdoor heat exchanger 600 are located in the outdoor heat exchange zone 103.

[0074] The outer casing 100 is provided with a second air inlet 122 and a second air outlet 123 that are connected to the outdoor heat exchange zone 103, and a second air duct is formed between the second air inlet 122 and the second air outlet 123.

[0075] The second air duct flows through the outdoor heat exchange zone 103. Under the action of the second fan component 500, the outdoor airflow is input into the second air duct from the second air inlet 122, and after heat exchange by the outdoor heat exchanger 600, it is output to the outside from the second air outlet 123.

[0076] The second air inlet 122 and the second air outlet 123 are located on opposite sides of the bottom of the air conditioner unit. Outdoor airflow enters the outdoor heat exchange zone from the second air inlet 122, exchanges heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 600, and then exits to the outside from the second air outlet 123, realizing outdoor side heat exchange with a diagonal layout.

[0077] The first air outlet includes an upper air outlet 111 and a lower air outlet 112. The upper air outlet 111 is located at the upper part of the outer casing 100, and the lower air outlet 112 is located at the lower part of the outer casing 100.

[0078] Under the action of the first fan component 200, the heat-exchanged airflow is output to the room from the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112, which helps to increase the air volume and thus improve the temperature adjustment speed of the air conditioner.

[0079] In some embodiments of this application, the outer shell 100 is a columnar structure and is located at the corner of a simple house such as a sunroom to improve space utilization.

[0080] The outer casing 100 includes a front wall 110, a top wall 140, a bottom wall, and a rear wall 120 located on both sides of the front wall 110. The top wall 140 and the bottom wall are respectively located at the top and bottom of the outer casing 100. The front wall 110 is located at the front of the air conditioner, and the rear wall 120 is placed against the corner of the house, or a gap is reserved for the installation of the rear wall 120 when the house is built.

[0081] The second air inlet 122 and the second air outlet 123 are specifically installed on the rear wall 120. Air passage holes are reserved on the wall. In the installed state, the second air inlet 122 and the second air outlet 123 are connected to the outside through the corresponding air passage holes.

[0082] The other side of the two rear walls 120 is connected at an angle. Specifically, the other side of the two rear walls 120 is set vertically, with the angle equal to that of the corner of the sunroom.

[0083] A side wall 121 is formed between the rear wall 120 and each of the front walls 110. The side wall 121 is integrally formed with the rear wall 120. Specifically, the side wall 121 is a bend formed on one side of the rear wall 120.

[0084] The rear wall 120 is connected to the front wall 110 via the side wall 121, and the first air inlet 124 is disposed on the side wall 121.

[0085] To improve air intake efficiency, a first air intake 124 is provided on each of the two side walls 121 on both sides. The position of the first air intake 124 corresponds to the indoor heat exchange zone 102. The indoor airflow is directly delivered to the indoor heat exchange zone 102 through the first air intake 124.

[0086] The first air intake 124 has a protective grille and filter to prevent flying insects and other foreign objects from entering.

[0087] The outer casing 100 has a triangular prism structure formed between its two rear walls 120 and front wall 110, which makes full use of the corner space and improves space utilization.

[0088] The first air inlet 124 is set on the side wall 121. The side wall 121 is set at an angle to the front wall 110 and the rear wall 120 to facilitate air intake and avoid the problem of the first air inlet 124 being directly set on the rear wall 120, which makes air intake difficult due to the blockage of the corner wall.

[0089] To improve the sealing performance of the connection between the two rear walls 120, a transition plate 130 is used to connect the two rear walls 120. The transition plate 130 partially overlaps with the rear wall 120 to improve the sealing performance of the connection.

[0090] Specifically, the cross-sectional shape of the adapter plate 130 is similar to a W shape, which is conducive to matching the corner of the wall and facilitating drainage and wiring.

[0091] The transition plate 130 has overlapping bends on both sides. The overlapping bends are welded to the rear side of the rear wall 120 to reduce the connection gap and improve the sealing effect of the outer shell connection.

[0092] The front wall 110, the side wall 121 and the rear wall 120 and the transition plate 130 are assembled by integral welding, which effectively ensures the waterproofness and handling strength of the whole machine and helps to improve the overall structural strength of the outer shell 100.

[0093] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 4The front wall 110 specifically includes an upper panel 1101 and a lower panel 1102. The position of the upper panel 1101 corresponds to the electrical control area 101, which facilitates the maintenance of the electrical control area 101. The upper air outlet 111 is specifically set on the upper panel 1101. The lower panel 1102 corresponds to the outdoor heat exchange area 103 and the indoor heat exchange area 102. The lower air outlet 112 is set at the lower position of the lower panel 1102.

[0094] The upper panel 1101 and the lower panel 1102 are switched independently and do not interfere with each other, making it convenient for maintenance personnel to perform maintenance.

[0095] Combination Figure 1 The upper panel 1101 is also equipped with an operation panel 113, which is connected to the electrical components in the electrical control area 101 to facilitate the user to control the air conditioner's on / off state and indoor temperature, etc.

[0096] Specifically, in some embodiments of this application, air guide grilles are formed on the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112.

[0097] The air guide grille is used to adjust the air outlet direction of the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112 to improve comfort. In addition, the air guide grille also has the function of preventing foreign objects from entering the housing 100.

[0098] The control panel also has buttons for adjusting the opening direction of the air guide grille, making it easy to adjust the airflow direction.

[0099] In some embodiments of this application, a transverse partition 150 is provided between the electrical control area 101 and the indoor heat exchange area 102, and between the indoor heat exchange area 102 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103.

[0100] The horizontal partition 150 separates the electrical control area 101 from the indoor heat exchange area 102, and the indoor heat exchange area 102 from the outdoor heat exchange area 103, forming independent working spaces, so that the electrical control area 101 and the indoor heat exchange area 102, and the indoor heat exchange area 102 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103 do not affect each other.

[0101] Under the action of the first fan component 200, the indoor airflow enters the indoor heat exchange zone 102 through the first air inlet 124. After exchanging heat with the indoor heat exchanger 300 in the indoor heat exchange zone 102, it is output to the room from the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112, thereby regulating the indoor temperature.

[0102] Under the action of the second fan component 500, the outdoor airflow enters the outdoor heat exchange zone 103 through the second air inlet 122, exchanges heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 600 in the outdoor heat exchange zone 103, and is then output to the outside from the second air outlet 123.

[0103] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 7 In other embodiments, a longitudinal partition 330 is formed inside the outer casing 100, the longitudinal partition 330 is parallel to the front wall 110, the first air duct includes a connecting cavity 104, the connecting cavity 104 is formed between the front wall 110 and the longitudinal partition 330, and the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112 are connected to the connecting cavity 104.

[0104] Specifically, in the actual processing, the periphery of the electrical control area 101 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103 is formed with an inner plate structure connected to the side wall 121. The longitudinal partition 330 is specifically formed on the indoor heat exchange area 102. The upper and lower ends of the longitudinal partition 330 are respectively connected to the inner plates on the electrical control area 101 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103, so as to form a connecting cavity 104 between the electrical control area 101, the indoor heat exchange area 102 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103 and the front wall 110.

[0105] In other embodiments, the longitudinal partition 330 may also extend vertically through the electrical control area 101 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103, thereby forming a connecting cavity 104 between the electrical control area 101, the indoor heat exchange area 102, the outdoor heat exchange area 103, and the front wall 110.

[0106] In other words, the connecting cavity 104 is formed between the longitudinal partition 330 and the front wall 110, and is a vertically continuous layout, which is conducive to the uniform and reasonable airflow delivery of the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112, and reduces noise.

[0107] The above-described implementation of the connecting cavity 104 in this application is easier to implement in manufacturing and has a better air distribution effect. Compared with the traditional pipeline air supply method, it has less resistance, lower noise, and higher heat exchange efficiency.

[0108] In some embodiments of this application, the first fan component 200 is disposed on the longitudinal partition 330, the input end of the first fan component 200 is connected to the indoor heat exchange zone 102, and the output end of the first fan component 200 is connected to the connecting cavity 104.

[0109] The longitudinal partition 330 separates the front wall 110 from the electrical control area 101, the indoor heat exchange area 102 and the outdoor heat exchange area 103 to form a connecting cavity 104. The airflow output from the output end of the first fan component 200 is transported upward and downward through the connecting cavity 104 to the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112.

[0110] The indoor airflow input from the first air inlet on the side wall 121 enters the indoor heat exchange zone 102. After heat exchange by the indoor heat exchanger 300, it is transported forward from the first fan component 200 to the connecting cavity 104, and then output to the room through the connecting cavity 104 upward or downward through the upper air outlet 111 or the lower air outlet 112.

[0111] In some embodiments of this application, a first air guide 310 is also provided in the indoor heat exchange zone 102. The first air guide 310 is specifically a baffle structure vertically arranged on the indoor heat exchange zone 102. The first air guide 310 is respectively arranged on the inner side of the side wall 121, and an air guide gap is formed between it and the side wall 121.

[0112] Specifically, the side of the first air guide 310 near the front wall 110 is connected to the side wall 121 of the indoor heat exchange zone 102, and the side away from the front wall 110 is an open structure. The first air guide 310 is used to guide the airflow input from the first air inlet 124 through the air guide gap to the side of the indoor heat exchanger 300 away from the first fan component 200.

[0113] In other words, the indoor airflow input from the first air inlet 124 is transported backward through the air guide gap to guide the airflow to the rear side of the indoor heat exchanger 300. Then, under the action of the first fan component 200, the indoor airflow is transported forward from the rear side of the indoor heat exchanger 300.

[0114] The first air guide section 310 guides the airflow input from the first air inlet section 124 to increase the air volume passing through the indoor heat exchanger 300, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the indoor heat exchanger 300 and preventing the airflow input from the first air inlet section 124 from being directly output from the first fan component 200 to the connecting cavity 104.

[0115] In some embodiments of this application, the indoor heat exchanger 300 is a plate heat exchanger, and both ends of the indoor heat exchanger 300 are respectively connected to the first air guide 310 so that the airflow passing through the air guide gap is delivered to the side of the indoor heat exchanger 300 away from the first fan component 200, ensuring that the airflow is completely output after heat exchange through the indoor heat exchanger 300.

[0116] In some other embodiments, the indoor heat exchanger 300 is a U-shaped heat exchanger, which has a larger heat exchange area and is beneficial to improving heat exchange efficiency.

[0117] refer to Figure 8 In some other embodiments, in order to improve the smoothness of airflow in the connecting cavity 104, a second air guide 210 is provided on the longitudinal partition 330. The first fan component 200 is a centrifugal fan, with its air inlet formed on the end face and connected to the indoor heat exchange zone 102, and its air outlet formed on the periphery of the first fan component 200 and connected to the connecting cavity 104.

[0118] The second air guide section 210 is specifically disposed on the periphery of the first fan component 200, forming an air outlet gap with the first fan component 200.

[0119] The second air guide section 210 has air vents facing the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112, which are used to guide the airflow output from the first fan component 200 to the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112.

[0120] A guide slope 211 is formed on one side of the air outlet, which matches the rotation direction of the impeller inside the first fan component 200. After the airflow is output from the first fan component 200, the guide slope 211 guides the airflow upward or downward, so as to avoid the airflow output from the first fan component 200 from colliding with the side wall 121 of the connecting cavity 104, generating noise, or even forming vortices.

[0121] The second air guide section 210 is used to directly guide the airflow output from the output end of the first fan component 200 upward and downward to the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112, which helps to improve air outlet efficiency, reduce wind resistance, and reduce noise.

[0122] refer to Figure 9 In some other embodiments, the first fan component 200 includes at least two centrifugal fans spaced apart along the height direction of the longitudinal partition 330.

[0123] The number of centrifugal fans is set to at least two, which can reduce the size of each centrifugal fan. While ensuring air volume, it helps to reduce noise, increase air volume, and thus improve temperature control efficiency.

[0124] refer to Figure 10 In some embodiments of this application, a water receiving tray 320 is provided at the bottom of the indoor heat exchanger 300, and a drain hole 321 is formed at the bottom of the water receiving tray 320. The drain hole 321 is located directly above the outdoor heat exchanger 600.

[0125] The outdoor heat exchanger 600 is a plate heat exchanger, and correspondingly, the drain holes 321 at the bottom of the water receiving tray 320 are spaced along the length of the outdoor heat exchange zone 103.

[0126] During cooling, the cool condensate formed in the indoor heat exchanger 300 is transported to the surface of the outdoor heat exchanger 600 through the drain hole 321 on the water receiving pan 320. This helps to reduce the surface temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger 600, which acts as a condenser, by utilizing the cooling capacity of the condensate, thereby improving the cooling efficiency of the outdoor heat exchanger 600.

[0127] The bottom of the outdoor heat exchanger 600 is also provided with a water receiving structure 610, which is used to collect condensate and prevent condensate from accumulating at the bottom of the air conditioner. The water receiving structure 610 is provided with a drain section for draining the condensate.

[0128] In summary, the vertical air conditioner involved in this application has an outdoor heat exchange zone 103, an indoor heat exchange zone 102, and an electrical control zone 101 arranged sequentially from bottom to top. The vertical arrangement of each working area is conducive to reducing the floor space and improving space utilization.

[0129] The outer casing 100 has an upper air outlet 111 at the upper position and a lower air outlet 112 at the lower position. Under the action of the first fan component 200, the heat-exchanged airflow is output to the room from the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112, which helps to increase the air volume and thus improve the temperature adjustment speed of the air conditioner.

[0130] In addition, the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112 are arranged in a vertically continuous manner, which helps to ensure that the air volume of the upper air outlet 111 and the lower air outlet 112 is evenly and reasonably delivered, and reduces noise.

[0131] Whenever possible, the various aspects and features described and shown in the specification can be applied individually, and these individual aspects can serve as the subject of a divisional application.

[0132] In the description of the above embodiments, specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0133] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
