Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of elevator air conditioning, and in particular to an elevator air conditioner that can eliminate condensation. Background Technology
[0002] Most elevator air conditioners on the market are converted from window air conditioners. Their advantages are low technical threshold, low price, and easy conversion. The disadvantage is insufficient condensate evaporation capacity, which often requires manual removal of condensate after the machine is shut down, or draining the condensate into the elevator shaft through a drain pipe. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned technical defects, this utility model provides an elevator air conditioner that can eliminate condensate, which aims to solve the problem of insufficient condensate evaporation capacity of elevator air conditioners in the background art.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model of elevator air conditioner produces condensate in the evaporator during operation. The condensate falls into the water collection tank at the bottom of the casing due to gravity. A rotating splash wheel agitates the condensate in the water collection tank into water droplets and mist, which are then splashed onto the surface of the condenser. The high temperature of the condenser's outer surface during air conditioner operation quickly evaporates the water. The resulting water vapor is discharged through the air outlet, achieving a water-free design. Furthermore, the condensate helps the condenser dissipate heat, improving the cooling effect and energy efficiency. This results in an elevator air conditioner that does not require a drain pipe and has a good cooling effect, making it particularly suitable for home elevators.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the evaporator is located above the condenser.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the water collection tank has a first water guiding section, which is inclined from top to bottom to give the water collection tank a shape structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.
[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the condenser includes two rows of condenser radiators with a gap between the two rows of condenser radiators; the splash wheel is located within the gap.
[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the splash wheel is positioned near the edge of the condenser along its length.
[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the elevator air conditioner capable of eliminating condensate further includes a water-blocking cover; the water-blocking cover is located above the interval area.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the water-blocking cover has a second water-guiding portion on the side facing the interval area, the second water-guiding portion sloping downwards and extending directly above the condenser radiator.
[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the water-blocking cover has at least three protruding ribs along its length on the side facing the interval area, wherein a water-blocking interval is formed between two adjacent protruding ribs.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, the condensate splashing device further includes a motor, which is driven and connected to the splashing water wheel. Attached Figure Description

[0030] This utility model is implemented according to the following technical solution:
[0031] See Figures 1 to 4 This utility model discloses an elevator air conditioner capable of eliminating condensation, comprising:
[0032] The housing 100 has an air outlet 110 and a water collection trough 120 provided on the inner bottom side;
[0033] Evaporator 200, which is disposed within the housing 100;
[0034] A condenser 300 is disposed within the housing 100 and located above the water collection tank 120;
[0035] The condensate splashing device 400 has a rotatable splashing wheel 410 to splash condensate in the collection tank 120 onto the condenser 300.
[0036] Compared with the prior art, when the elevator air conditioner of this utility model is running, the evaporator 200 will produce condensate. The condensate will fall into the water collection tank 120 at the bottom of the housing 100 by gravity. The rotating splash wheel 410 will agitate the condensate in the water collection tank 120 into water droplets and water mist, and splash it onto the surface of the condenser 300. The high temperature of the outer surface of the condenser 300 during the operation of the air conditioner will quickly evaporate the water. The water vapor formed by evaporation will be discharged through the air outlet 110, achieving a water-free design. In addition, the condensate can help the condenser 300 dissipate heat, improve the cooling effect and energy efficiency, and form an elevator air conditioner that does not require the installation of a drain pipe and has a good cooling effect. This elevator air conditioner is especially suitable for home elevators.
[0037] In one embodiment, the evaporator 200 is located above the condenser 300. The condensate generated on its surface can fall naturally onto the condenser 300 and into the water collection tank 120 by gravity. Some of the condensate will fall directly to the inner bottom side of the shell 100 and then flow into the water collection tank 120; another part of the condensate will first flow through the condenser 300 and then flow into the water collection tank 120. That is, before the condensate falls into the water collection tank 120, it can dissipate heat from the condenser 300 and accelerate the evaporation of water.
[0038] In one embodiment, the water collection tank 120 has a first water guiding section 121, which is inclined from top to bottom. The inclined water guiding section forms a concave shape that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. Utilizing gravity, the condensate generated by the evaporator 200 quickly gathers and flows to the bottom of the water collection tank 120, causing the water level in the water collection tank 120 to rise rapidly. This allows the splash wheel 410 to quickly touch the condensate or splash more condensate.
[0039] In one embodiment, the condenser 300 includes two rows of condenser radiators 310, with a gap region 320 between the two rows of condenser radiators 310; the splash wheel 410 is located within the gap region 320. The two rows of condenser radiators 310 increase the overall heat dissipation area, and the splash wheel 410, located in the gap region 320, can simultaneously splash condensate from the water collection tank 120 onto the surfaces of the two rows of condensers 300, making full use of the temperature of the condenser 300 to evaporate water, accelerating the evaporation of condensate, and achieving a water-free design.
[0040] Furthermore, the splash wheel 410 is positioned near the edge of the condenser 310 along its length. When the splash wheel 410 is near the edge of the condenser 300, the splashed water droplets or mist can spread along the length of the condenser 300, covering a larger surface area of the condenser 310 and making full use of the temperature of the condenser 300 to accelerate the evaporation of moisture.
[0041] Furthermore, the elevator air conditioner capable of eliminating condensate also includes a water-blocking cover 500; the water-blocking cover 500 is located above the interval area 320 and can effectively prevent water droplets thrown out by the splash wheel 410 from spreading outward. After the water droplets are blocked by the water-blocking cover 500, the water droplets fall back down from the water-blocking cover 500 due to gravity; effectively preventing condensate from splashing to the control lines or electrical components outside the interval area 320, reducing the risk of short circuits, corrosion and other faults.
[0042] Furthermore, the water-blocking cover 500 has a second water-guiding portion 510 on the side facing the interval region 320. The second water-guiding portion 510 slopes downwards and extends directly above the condenser radiator 310. The sloped design of the second water-guiding portion 510 utilizes gravity to guide the condensate at the bottom of the water-blocking cover 500 to directly above the condenser radiator 300, ensuring that the water is concentrated on the surface of the high-temperature heat sink, allowing for sufficient and rapid evaporation and reducing liquid water residue.
[0043] Furthermore, the water-blocking cover 500 has at least three protruding ribs along its length on the side facing the interval region 320, wherein a water-blocking interval is formed between two adjacent protruding ribs. The water-blocking interval between adjacent protruding ribs restricts the flow of condensate at various points on the water-blocking cover 500, preventing condensate on the water-blocking cover 500 from flowing along its length and locally converging and dripping in one place, thus increasing the range of condensate dripping and increasing the area of condensate dripping onto the condenser 300 radiator, thereby improving the heat dissipation effect.
[0044] In one embodiment, the condensate splashing device 400 further includes a motor 420, which is drivenly connected to the splash wheel 410. The motor 420 controls the splash wheel 410 to rotate at high speed, ensuring that the condensate in the water collection tank 120 can be splashed up.
[0045] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
