Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of integrated air conditioners, specifically to an integrated air conditioner with a hot air function. Background Technology

[0002] An all-in-one air conditioner is a device used to regulate temperature. This device is suitable for equipment rooms of various mobile communication operators, research institutes, hospitals, enterprises and other units. With the continuous development of technology, the size of these all-in-one air conditioners is gradually shrinking, making them no longer limited to commercial use. Some all-in-one air conditioners for home use have also begun to appear on the market.

[0003] The aforementioned integrated household air conditioners are mainly used in smaller spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms. Air conditioners used in kitchens are mainly used for cooling in the summer, and their main usage time is often less than half a year. Therefore, compared with fixed, non-removable wall-mounted air conditioners, integrated air conditioners are more flexible and can be moved according to the user's needs.

[0004] Chinese patent ZL202420881119.3 discloses: "An integrated air conditioner, comprising: a shell, the shell forming an indoor air intake zone and an indoor air supply zone; a fan volute, the fan volute being disposed within the installation space enclosed by the shell, the fan volute forming a receiving space, an air inlet zone, and an air outlet zone, the receiving space for accommodating an indoor fan, the air inlet zone and the air outlet zone being connected through the receiving space so that airflow entering through the indoor air intake zone and the air inlet zone is guided by the fan volute to the air outlet zone and the indoor air supply zone; and a liquid storage container, the liquid storage container for storing humidifying liquid, the liquid storage container being disposed on the bottom side of the fan volute, and the liquid inlet of the liquid storage container being connected to the receiving space so that liquid injected from the indoor air supply zone is guided by the fan volute to the liquid storage container. When it is necessary to replenish water to the liquid storage container, no additional operation of the container is required; water can be added directly from the indoor air supply zone to the shell, greatly facilitating the replenishment operation of the liquid storage container."

[0005] When considering solutions including those in the aforementioned patents, existing integrated air conditioners on the market all share a problem: they generally only have cooling functions. Due to their small size, the internal space of integrated air conditioners is very limited. To achieve the function of producing hot air, the placement and connection method of the internal heating device, as well as how the hot air device can heat the airflow within the limited space, become difficult problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated air conditioner that can produce hot air without increasing the overall size of the air conditioner. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of existing integrated air conditioners that cannot effectively heat the airflow due to their small size and thus cannot deliver hot air, this utility model provides an integrated air conditioner with hot air function.

[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve its technical problem is: an integrated air conditioner with a hot air function, comprising:

[0008] The housing includes an air inlet located at the rear and an exhaust outlet located at the front;

[0009] An air supply assembly, which is housed within the housing, is used to supply air from the air inlet to the air outlet.

[0010] It also includes:

[0011] A heating component, located inside the housing, is used to heat the airflow within the air supply component;

[0012] The air supply assembly includes at least an air guide shroud, an air duct is formed through the air guide shroud, and a mounting base is protruding on the inner wall of the air duct. The heating assembly is connected to the mounting base to be located inside the air duct.

[0013] The mounting base has a fitting groove, and the heating component includes an outer frame. One side of the outer frame can be fitted into the fitting groove. A fixing structure is also provided between the mounting base and the outer frame, thereby preventing the outer frame from detaching from the fitting groove.

[0014] Furthermore, the fixing structure includes fixing posts protruding from the mounting base, and the fixing posts are located at both ends of the interlocking groove. The two ends of the outer frame are provided with fixing ears, which can be fitted onto the fixing posts and can be fixedly connected to the fixing posts by fasteners.

[0015] Furthermore, the top of the fixing post can form an abutment fit with one side of the fixing ear, and the fixing ear has a through hole, while the top of the fixing post has a first threaded hole. The fastener is configured as a bolt, which can pass through the first through hole from the other side of the fixing ear and be threaded into the first threaded hole to achieve a fixed connection between the fixing ear and the fixing post.

[0016] Furthermore, the air duct also includes an air inlet and an air outlet, which are located at opposite ends of the air guide cover. The mounting base is positioned near the air inlet, and the fitting groove on the mounting base faces the air inlet.

[0017] Furthermore, the heating assembly also includes a heating element and several fans. The outer frame has an inner cavity for accommodating the heating element, and the outer frame also has a top window and a bottom window communicating with the inner cavity. The fans are connected to the top of the outer frame and are positioned to face the top window so that the fans can deliver air into the inner cavity through the top window.

[0018] Furthermore, the outer frame is composed of an upper frame and a lower frame joined together. The lower frame has several protruding plug-in posts at both ends, and the upper frame has several protruding plug-in seats at both ends. The plug-in seats have plug-in grooves on their lower sides. The plug-in posts can be inserted into the plug-in grooves from below. The top of the plug-in post has a second threaded hole, and the plug-in seat has a second through hole that connects to the plug-in groove. A bolt is passed through the second through hole and tightened into the second threaded hole to achieve a fixed connection between the plug-in post and the plug-in seat.

[0019] Furthermore, the inner wall of the upper frame is provided with several upward fixing ribs, and the inner wall of the lower frame is provided with several downward fixing ribs. The upward fixing ribs can abut against the upper side of the heating element, and the downward fixing ribs can abut against the lower side of the heating element, so that the heating element is fixedly clamped between the upper frame and the lower frame.

[0020] Furthermore, both sides of the upper frame and the lower frame are provided with abutment blocks, wherein the abutment blocks on both sides of the upper frame extend downward and abut against the side walls of the lower frame, and the abutment blocks on both sides of the lower frame extend upward and abut against the side walls of the upper frame.

[0021] Furthermore, the heating component also includes a temperature control switch, and a side window communicating with the inner cavity is provided on one side of the outer frame, with the head of the temperature control switch extending into the inner cavity through the side window.

[0022] Furthermore, a limiting rib is also provided on the outer frame above the measuring window, and the limiting rib extends downward. The temperature control switch also includes a connecting fin protruding from its periphery. The connecting fin can be clamped between the side wall of the outer frame and the limiting rib to prevent the temperature control switch from detaching from the outer frame.

[0023] The hot air output method of this utility model is as follows:

[0024] First, the air supply mechanism starts to draw air in through the air inlet, allowing the airflow to enter the duct of the air guide shroud through the air inlet opening. Since the heating element is located at the air inlet opening, the airflow will inevitably pass through the heating element when entering the duct. At the same time, the fan of the heating element also starts, guiding the airflow through the fan and the top opening below the fan into the inner cavity of the outer frame. Because the heating element is located in the inner cavity, the activated heating element can transfer heat to the airflow entering the inner cavity. Then, the heated airflow passes through the heating element and is discharged from the bottom window of the outer frame. Under the guidance of the air supply mechanism, this hot airflow continues to flow along the duct and finally leaves the duct through the air outlet opening and is discharged from the exhaust port, thus realizing the hot air output function of this air conditioner.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] 1. The entire heating component is placed inside the air duct, and a mounting base for installing the heating component is provided on the inner wall of the air duct. This ensures that the heating component is stably installed, and since it is located inside the air duct, it does not occupy other space inside the casing, thus ensuring that the overall size of the air conditioner does not increase. Moreover, since the airflow entering the air duct when the air conditioner is started will definitely pass through the heating component, sufficient heating can be ensured when the heating component is started.

[0027] 2. The connection structure between the outer frame of the heating component and the mounting base is simple and strong. Since the outer frame itself is composed of an upper frame and a lower frame, it is easier to install the heating element on it. Furthermore, the setting of the upper and lower fixing ribs can also ensure that the connection between the heating element and the outer frame is firm.

[0028] 3. A fan is also installed on the heating component. The fan can further guide the airflow in the air duct to ensure that the airflow in the air duct can pass through the heating component when the heating component is started, thereby avoiding uneven heating of hot air.

[0029] 4. The heating component also includes a temperature control switch, which monitors the temperature of the heating element in real time to prevent the heating element from overheating and causing damage to itself or other components in the air conditioner. This improves the safety of the air conditioner and effectively extends its service life. Attached Figure Description
