Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of oxygen-generating air conditioning technology, and more specifically, to an air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] In existing technologies, the oxygen-generating function of air conditioners is gradually becoming a trend, meeting users' needs for a healthier indoor environment. However, existing oxygen-generating air conditioners have some inherent limitations in their design, especially in terms of the uniform distribution and efficient diffusion of oxygen in the indoor environment.
[0003] In traditional designs, the placement of oxygen outlets is often unscientific, leading to oxygen accumulation or loss in certain areas of the room and a significant separation of oxygen concentration between the upper and lower parts of the room, thus affecting overall air quality. Furthermore, the control of oxygen delivery pipelines lacks flexibility, with the airflow direction often mismatched with the oxygen outlet direction, resulting in low oxygen diffusion efficiency and significant energy waste. On the bottom of the indoor unit, the oxygen outlet is usually separated from the air outlet, failing to utilize the air conditioning system to enhance oxygen diffusion. This prevents oxygen from being evenly distributed throughout the room, reducing the user experience.
[0004] Specifically, existing oxygen-generating air conditioners typically employ a single oxygen outlet design, with its location often arbitrary, such as at the bottom or side of the casing. This not only limits the oxygen diffusion range but may also lead to excessive oxygen concentration in certain areas while insufficient oxygen is available in others, thus failing to guarantee uniform indoor oxygen distribution. Furthermore, the lack of intelligent control over the opening and closing of the oxygen outlet means that when the airflow direction changes, the oxygen delivery direction fails to adjust accordingly, resulting in some oxygen being sent to unoccupied areas or outdoors, causing resource waste. Utility Model Content
[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide an air conditioner that addresses the problem that in existing oxygen-generating air conditioners, the oxygen outlet is mostly located on the side of the air outlet, thus limiting the diffusion range of oxygen.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, an air conditioner is provided, comprising: an oxygen generating module; an indoor unit having an air outlet duct and an oxygen outlet, the oxygen outlet being disposed facing the air outlet of the air outlet duct, and the oxygen generating module being connected to the oxygen outlet; wherein, there are multiple oxygen outlets, and the multiple oxygen outlets are disposed around the air outlet of the air outlet duct.
[0007] Furthermore, one or more of the multiple oxygen outlets extend along the length of the indoor unit.
[0008] Furthermore, the flow cross-section of one or more of the multiple oxygen outlets is a polygonal, elliptical, or circular structure.
[0009] Furthermore, the air outlet duct includes: a first sidewall and a second sidewall, which are arranged at an angle to each other; multiple oxygen outlets include a first group of oxygen outlets and a second group of oxygen outlets, with the first group of oxygen outlets located on the first sidewall and the second group of oxygen outlets located on the second sidewall.
[0010] Furthermore, the first group of oxygen outlets includes: a plurality of first oxygen outlets, the plurality of first oxygen outlets being spaced apart along the length direction of the first sidewall, and at least one of the plurality of first oxygen outlets extending along the length direction of the first sidewall.
[0011] Furthermore, the first group of oxygen outlets also includes: a second oxygen outlet, the second oxygen outlet having a circular cross-section, and at least two second oxygen outlets located at opposite ends of the first sidewall.
[0012] Furthermore, the second set of oxygen outlets includes: a plurality of third oxygen outlets, the plurality of third oxygen outlets being spaced apart along the length direction of the second sidewall, and at least one of the plurality of third oxygen outlets extending along the length direction of the second sidewall.
[0013] Furthermore, the second group of oxygen outlets also includes a fourth oxygen outlet, which has a circular cross-section and at least two fourth oxygen outlets located at opposite ends of the second sidewall.
[0014] Furthermore, the air outlet duct includes a third side wall and a fourth side wall, which are arranged opposite each other along the length of the indoor unit; one or more oxygen outlets are provided on the third side wall and / or the fourth side wall respectively.
[0015] Furthermore, the air conditioner also includes: multiple oxygen supply branches, each connected to a corresponding oxygen outlet; and multiple control valves, which are installed on and connected to the oxygen supply branches, each corresponding to a corresponding oxygen supply branch.
[0016] The air conditioner using the technical solution of this utility model includes an oxygen-generating module and an indoor unit. The oxygen-generating module generates oxygen, and the indoor unit is provided with an air outlet duct and an oxygen outlet. The oxygen outlet faces the air outlet of the air outlet duct, and the oxygen-generating module is connected to the oxygen outlet. Multiple oxygen outlets are arranged around the air outlet of the air outlet duct. The air conditioner provided in this application ensures that oxygen can achieve all-round, dead-angle-free coverage in the room by setting multiple oxygen outlets around the air outlet of the air outlet duct on the indoor unit. Because the oxygen outlets are closely connected to the air outlet of the air outlet duct, with the powerful thrust of the air conditioner's air supply, oxygen can quickly diffuse to every corner of the room, avoiding the problem of uneven oxygen distribution in traditional designs.
[0017] The surrounding layout of the oxygen outlets significantly improves oxygen delivery efficiency. Compared to a single outlet design, the oxygen in this solution can enter the room simultaneously through multiple paths, reducing resistance along the delivery path and accelerating oxygen circulation. Simultaneously, utilizing the natural power of the air conditioning system, the oxygen can reach the desired concentration in a shorter time, enhancing user satisfaction. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0034] As mentioned in the background section, the placement of the oxygen outlet in existing traditional oxygen-generating air conditioners is often not scientifically sound, leading to oxygen accumulation or loss in certain areas of the room and significant separation of oxygen concentration between the upper and lower parts of the room, thus affecting overall air quality. Furthermore, the control of the oxygen delivery pipeline lacks flexibility, with the airflow direction often mismatched with the oxygen outlet direction, resulting in low oxygen diffusion efficiency and significant energy waste. On the bottom casing of the indoor unit, the oxygen outlet is usually separated from the air outlet, failing to utilize the air conditioning system to enhance oxygen diffusion. This results in oxygen not being evenly distributed to all corners of the room, reducing the user experience. Specifically, existing oxygen-generating air conditioners typically use a single oxygen outlet design with a rather arbitrary location, such as at the bottom or side of the casing. This not only limits the oxygen diffusion range but may also cause excessive oxygen concentration in certain areas while insufficient oxygen is available in others, thus failing to guarantee uniform indoor oxygen distribution. In addition, the lack of intelligent control over the opening and closing of the oxygen outlet means that when the airflow direction changes, the oxygen delivery direction fails to adjust accordingly, causing some oxygen to be sent to unoccupied areas or outdoors, resulting in resource waste. Therefore, to address the aforementioned technical problems, the air conditioner provided in this application has multiple oxygen outlets 220 on the indoor unit 200. Each oxygen outlet 220 faces the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210. The oxygen generating module 100 is connected to each oxygen outlet 220, and the oxygen generated by the oxygen generating module 100 is blown into the room through each oxygen outlet 220. The oxygen outlets 220 are arranged around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210. By arranging multiple oxygen outlets 220 around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210 on the indoor unit 200, the uniformity of oxygen distribution throughout the room can be significantly improved. When the oxygen generated by the oxygen generating module 100 is released through these outlets, the air conditioning system can quickly and widely diffuse it, avoiding the accumulation or loss of oxygen in localized areas as in traditional designs, thus ensuring that the oxygen concentration in the entire room is at an ideal level. Orienting the oxygen outlets 220 towards the air outlet duct 210 of the air conditioner fully utilizes the high-speed airflow of the air conditioner itself, greatly enhancing the diffusion speed of oxygen. This means that even in large spaces, oxygen can quickly reach every corner, reducing the time spent waiting for oxygen to be evenly distributed and improving the user experience.
[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 12 This application provides an air conditioner, including: an oxygen generating module 100; an indoor unit 200, on which an air outlet duct 210 and an oxygen outlet 220 are provided, the oxygen outlet 220 being disposed toward the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210, and the oxygen generating module 100 being connected to the oxygen outlet 220; wherein, there are multiple oxygen outlets 220, and the multiple oxygen outlets 220 are disposed around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210.
[0036] The air conditioner provided in this application includes an oxygen-generating module 100 and an indoor unit 200. The oxygen-generating module 100 generates oxygen. The indoor unit 200 is provided with an air outlet duct 210 and an oxygen outlet 220. The oxygen outlet 220 is positioned facing the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210, and the oxygen-generating module 100 is connected to the oxygen outlet 220. Multiple oxygen outlets 220 are arranged around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210. The air conditioner provided in this application ensures that oxygen can achieve comprehensive and thorough coverage of the room by providing multiple oxygen outlets 220 around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210 on the indoor unit 200. Because the oxygen outlets 220 are closely connected to the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210, the powerful thrust of the air conditioner's airflow allows oxygen to quickly diffuse to every corner of the room, avoiding the problem of uneven oxygen distribution in traditional designs.
[0037] The oxygen outlet 220, with its surrounding layout, significantly improves oxygen delivery efficiency. Compared to a single outlet design, oxygen in this solution can enter the room simultaneously through multiple paths, reducing resistance along the delivery path and accelerating oxygen circulation. Furthermore, utilizing the natural power of the air conditioning system, oxygen can reach the desired concentration in a shorter time, enhancing user satisfaction.
[0038] In one embodiment provided in this application, one or more of the plurality of oxygen outlets 220 extend along the length direction of the indoor unit 200.
[0039] One or more oxygen outlets 220 extend along the length of the indoor unit 200, forming a trough-shaped or elongated oxygen outlet. This design can significantly increase the lateral diffusion length of oxygen, ensuring that oxygen can be evenly distributed throughout the depth of the room.
[0040] The design of the slotted oxygen outlet 220 works in coordination with the air outlet duct 210 of the indoor unit 200, optimizing the distribution pattern of indoor airflow. Because the oxygen outlet 220 extends along the length of the indoor unit, it effectively matches the airflow direction of the air conditioner, enhancing the mixing effect of oxygen and air, preventing excessive concentration of oxygen in localized areas, and promoting overall freshness and comfort of the indoor environment.
[0041] By increasing the length of oxygen diffusion in the depth of the room, users can feel a uniform oxygen supply no matter where they are in the room, which greatly improves the comfort of living or working.
[0042] In another embodiment provided in this application, the flow cross section of one or more of the plurality of oxygen outlets 220 is a polygonal structure, an elliptical structure, or a circular structure.
[0043] The design of oxygen outlets with polygonal, elliptical, or circular cross-sections 220 can significantly optimize the oxygen flow distribution within the room. Different outlet shapes can generate different types of gas flow patterns. For example, polygonal outlets may produce a more directional oxygen jet, suitable for localized areas requiring focused oxygen replenishment; while circular or elliptical outlets may produce a gentler, more diffused oxygen flow, better suited for those seeking uniform distribution throughout the room. This design flexibility allows for more precise, on-demand oxygen distribution, improving the effectiveness and targeted nature of oxygen use.
[0044] The circular and elliptical oxygen outlets 220, due to their streamlined characteristics, can reduce eddies and turbulence during gas flow, thereby reducing flow resistance and improving oxygen diffusion efficiency.
[0045] By selecting an appropriate flow cross-sectional shape, the airflow noise at the oxygen outlet 220 can be effectively reduced. Generally, streamlined oxygen outlets (such as circular or elliptical ones) can more effectively slow down the sound waves generated during gas flow and reduce the noise level.
[0046] The versatile 220 oxygen outlet shape design better adapts to the needs of different usage scenarios. For example, in children's rooms or environments where the elderly live, a round or oval outlet with smooth edges can be selected to reduce the risk of accidental injury; while in places that require rapid oxygen replenishment, such as gyms or nursing homes, polygonal outlets may be more advantageous due to their greater directional flow capability.
[0047] Specifically, in the air conditioner of this application, each oxygen outlet 220 is configured as follows:
[0048] Example 1
[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet duct 210 includes: a first sidewall 211 and a second sidewall 212, which are arranged at an angle to each other; the multiple oxygen outlets 220 include a first group of oxygen outlets 221 and a second group of oxygen outlets 222, where the first group of oxygen outlets 221 is disposed on the first sidewall 211 and the second group of oxygen outlets 222 is disposed on the second sidewall 212.
[0050] In the embodiments provided in this application, the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 of the air outlet duct 210 are arranged at an angle, which allows the first set of oxygen outlets 221 and the second set of oxygen outlets 222 to deliver oxygen in different directions. This design, through the oxygen outlets 220 on the two sidewalls, works together to form a cross-covering oxygen diffusion path in the indoor space, effectively avoiding excessive concentration of oxygen in one direction or lack in other areas, thereby improving the overall uniformity of oxygen distribution in the room.
[0051] Because the oxygen outlets 220 are located on two side walls, oxygen can diffuse simultaneously in two opposite or complementary directions. This not only increases the diffusion range of oxygen but also improves the efficiency of oxygen delivery. Compared to an oxygen outlet design on a single side wall, this embodiment can distribute oxygen evenly throughout the room more quickly, reducing the time it takes for oxygen to reach specific areas and improving the user experience.
[0052] By providing oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212, the air conditioner of this application can promote the circulation of indoor air. As oxygen enters the room, it drives the surrounding air to circulate. This bidirectional air circulation helps improve indoor air quality, reduces dead zones, ensures that oxygen is fully mixed with indoor air, and provides users with a fresh and healthy air environment.
[0053] The air conditioner of this application optimizes the diffusion path of oxygen in the room and improves the diffusion efficiency and range by setting a first group of oxygen outlets 221 and a second group of oxygen outlets 222 on the first side wall 211 and the second side wall 212 of the air outlet duct 210, respectively. It also enhances the indoor air circulation effect, adapts to various usage scenarios, improves the performance of intelligent control, and provides users with a healthier and more comfortable living and working environment.
[0054] Specifically, the first group of oxygen outlets 221 includes: a plurality of first oxygen outlets 2210, the plurality of first oxygen outlets 2210 being spaced apart along the length direction of the first sidewall 211, and at least one of the plurality of first oxygen outlets 2210 extending along the length direction of the first sidewall 211.
[0055] The first group of oxygen outlets 221 includes a plurality of first oxygen outlets 2210 spaced apart along the length of the first sidewall 211. This multi-point distribution design can significantly enhance the uniformity of oxygen diffusion in the room. By evenly distributing oxygen points on the sidewall, the formation of local high-concentration areas of oxygen in the room can be avoided, ensuring a more balanced oxygen concentration distribution throughout the space.
[0056] At least one first oxygen outlet 2210 extends along the length of the first sidewall 211, forming a groove-shaped oxygen outlet. This design significantly improves oxygen diffusion efficiency. The groove-shaped outlet increases the contact area between oxygen and indoor air, allowing oxygen to mix with the air more quickly and accelerating oxygen coverage throughout the room. Simultaneously, this design helps reduce resistance during oxygen transport, reducing energy consumption and improving the overall energy efficiency of the oxygen-generating air conditioning system.
[0057] Furthermore, the first group of oxygen outlets 221 also includes: a second oxygen outlet 2211, the second oxygen outlet 2211 having a circular cross-section, and at least two second oxygen outlets 2211, which are respectively located at both ends of the first sidewall 211.
[0058] The second oxygen outlet 2211, by having at least two circular oxygen outlets at each end of the first sidewall 211, ensures sufficient oxygen supply to both longitudinal ends of the room. This design overcomes the coverage blind spots that may exist in traditional oxygen outlets. Especially in long or narrow rooms, oxygen can reach the farthest end of the space evenly, avoiding differences in oxygen concentration at both ends of the room and improving the overall uniformity of oxygen distribution.
[0059] The circular second oxygen outlet 2211 has a natural streamlined advantage, producing a more stable and gentle airflow pattern, which is conducive to the mixing of oxygen with other air components. During air conditioning operation, the oxygen released from the circular outlet can be more quickly integrated into the mainstream air, forming a uniform oxygen environment, reducing areas of high or low oxygen concentration, and improving air quality.
[0060] By combining the circular second oxygen outlet 2211 at both ends with the strip-shaped first oxygen outlet 2210, a composite oxygen diffusion pattern can be formed. The circular outlet helps to concentrate oxygen output at specific points, while the strip-shaped outlet provides a wider diffusion surface. This design allows oxygen to quickly reach a high concentration in the central area of the room, and also achieves a uniform oxygen distribution throughout the room through the wide diffusion of the strip-shaped outlet, realizing an organic combination of point and surface effects.
[0061] The second oxygen outlet 2211 is located at both ends of the first sidewall 211, which can rapidly increase the oxygen concentration at both ends of the room. The extension of the first oxygen outlet 2210 along the length of the sidewall further expands the oxygen diffusion range, ensuring that even in the far corners of the room, a uniform oxygen supply can be felt. This layout significantly improves the efficiency of oxygen diffusion and reduces the time required for oxygen to achieve uniform distribution in the room.
[0062] The combination of the circular second oxygen outlet 2211 and the strip-shaped first oxygen outlet 2210 promotes the mixing of indoor air, forming a more uniform oxygen-air mixture. The airflow generated by the circular outlet helps to break the original laminar airflow, while the strip-shaped outlet increases the contact area between oxygen and indoor air, accelerating the oxygen mixing process and improving air quality.
[0063] In the specific implementation process, the second group of oxygen outlets 222 includes: a plurality of third oxygen outlets 2220, the plurality of third oxygen outlets 2220 being spaced apart along the length direction of the second sidewall 212, and at least one of the plurality of third oxygen outlets 2220 extending along the length direction of the second sidewall 212.
[0064] The design of the second set of oxygen outlets 222, especially the multiple third oxygen outlets 2220 spaced apart along the length of the second sidewall 212, can significantly enhance the lateral oxygen diffusion effect. This layout ensures that oxygen can not only diffuse evenly from the front (i.e., the air outlet), but also be transported laterally along the sidewalls of the room, covering corners that are difficult for the air conditioner's front jet to reach, achieving a three-dimensional and comprehensive oxygen distribution and improving the overall oxygen uniformity of the indoor environment.
[0065] Because at least one of the multiple third oxygen outlets 2220 extends along the length of the second sidewall 212, this design creates a longer oxygen delivery belt near the sidewall, specifically improving local air quality near the wall. This is particularly important for rooms where furniture or items are often placed near the wall, as it ensures that sufficient oxygen concentration is maintained even behind these obstacles, preventing a decline in local air quality due to uneven oxygen distribution.
[0066] Furthermore, the second group of oxygen outlets 222 also includes a fourth oxygen outlet 2221, the fourth oxygen outlet 2221 having a circular cross-section, and there are at least two fourth oxygen outlets 2221, which are located at both ends of the second sidewall 212 respectively.
[0067] In the second set of oxygen outlets 222, by providing at least two fourth oxygen outlets 2221 with circular structures at both ends of the second side wall 212, it is possible to ensure more comprehensive oxygen coverage in both the horizontal and vertical directions of the room. This design allows for a uniform oxygen supply even in room corners far from the air conditioning indoor unit 200, significantly improving the uniformity of oxygen distribution throughout the room.
[0068] The fourth oxygen outlet 2221 with a circular cross-section, due to its streamlined shape, helps reduce resistance during gas flow and improves oxygen diffusion efficiency. Especially when arranged at both ends, it can utilize the "edge effect" generated when the indoor unit 200 supplies air, i.e., the physical characteristic that the air supply speed is faster at both ends of the duct, to accelerate the release and diffusion of oxygen, thereby achieving an oxygen concentration equilibrium state more quickly.
[0069] The fourth oxygen outlet 2221 is located at both ends of the second side wall 212, which can better adapt to various air supply modes of the air conditioner, such as left-right dynamic air sweeping and up-down dynamic air sweeping. Regardless of the air supply mode, oxygen can be evenly delivered to all corners of the room, enhancing the air conditioner's ability to regulate the indoor environment.
[0070] The fourth oxygen outlet 2221 with a circular cross-section, combined with the third oxygen outlet 2220 with a strip structure, can create a more uniform oxygen distribution indoors. The circular outlet can concentrate oxygen in a specific direction, while the strip outlet facilitates the lateral diffusion of oxygen. The two complement each other, ensuring that oxygen is not only evenly distributed on the front and sides, but also extends along the length of the strip outlet to cover every corner of the room, avoiding localized excessively high or low oxygen concentrations.
[0071] The circular fourth oxygen outlet 2221, with its streamlined shape, reduces resistance during oxygen flow, allowing oxygen to be released at a higher speed and rapidly increasing the local oxygen concentration. Meanwhile, the strip-shaped third oxygen outlet 2220 provides a large diffusion interface, facilitating the rapid integration of oxygen into the indoor air, accelerating the balance of oxygen concentration throughout the space, and improving diffusion efficiency and speed.
[0072] This combined design allows for better adaptation to different air supply modes and room layouts. Regardless of whether the user selects left-right, up-down, or multi-directional air supply modes, the intelligent control system for the circular and strip-shaped oxygen outlets can adjust the opening and closing of the corresponding oxygen outlets according to the air supply direction, ensuring that oxygen delivery is consistent with the indoor airflow direction, thus improving the system's adaptability and flexibility.
[0073] The air outlet duct 210 includes a third side wall 213 and a fourth side wall 214, which are arranged opposite to each other along the length of the indoor unit 200; one or more oxygen outlets are provided on the third side wall 213 and / or the fourth side wall 214 respectively.
[0074] In the embodiments of this application, the third sidewall 213 and the fourth sidewall 214 of the air outlet duct 210 are arranged opposite each other along the length of the indoor unit 200, and one or more oxygen outlets 220 are respectively provided on these two sidewalls. This design can significantly enhance the breadth of oxygen diffusion, ensuring that oxygen can cover the entire length of the indoor unit 200, thereby forming a more uniform oxygen distribution throughout the room. Compared with the traditional design of setting oxygen outlets on only one side, this solution can effectively avoid the problem of uneven oxygen distribution in a specific direction and improve the consistency of indoor air quality.
[0075] Oxygen outlets 220, located on the third side wall 213 and the fourth side wall 214, can flexibly adjust the direction of oxygen delivery according to the indoor environment and user needs. For example, when it is necessary to increase the oxygen concentration in a certain area, the oxygen outlets on that side can be turned on all at once; while when uniform distribution throughout the room is desired, the oxygen outlets on both sides can be turned on simultaneously to improve the overall efficiency of oxygen diffusion. This flexibility not only meets the needs of diverse usage scenarios but also enhances the user experience.
[0076] Example 2
[0077] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the cross-section of the oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 is a circular structure, and the oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211 and the oxygen outlets 220 on the second sidewall 212 are arranged alternately along the length of the indoor unit 200, that is, the oxygen outlets 220 on the second sidewall 212 correspond to the two adjacent oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211.
[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, all oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212 adopt a circular structure and are staggered along the length of the indoor unit 200. This design can significantly enhance the all-round diffusion of oxygen in the room. The circular structure facilitates the uniform release of gas, while the staggered arrangement ensures that oxygen is output alternately from both sides, forming staggered diffusion paths, which can quickly cover the entire room and avoid the limitation of oxygen being concentrated on one side or a specific area.
[0079] The staggered distribution of oxygen outlets 220 promotes indoor air convection and circulation, forming a stable airflow channel. When oxygen is alternately released from the oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211 and the second sidewall 212, it can drive airflow throughout the room, helping to eliminate dead air zones and improve indoor air quality.
[0080] Example 3
[0081] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in this embodiment, an oxygen outlet 220 is provided on the third side wall 213 and the fourth side wall 214 respectively at the middle position of the first side wall 211.
[0082] Oxygen outlets 220, located at the center of the first side wall 211 and on the third and fourth side walls 213 and 214 respectively, ensure a more even diffusion of oxygen within the room. The oxygen outlet at the center directly affects the central area of the room, while the oxygen outlets on the side walls contribute to the even distribution of oxygen at both ends of the room laterally. This three-dimensional layout significantly improves the uniformity of oxygen throughout the space, avoiding local fluctuations in oxygen concentration.
[0083] Oxygen outlets 220, respectively provided on the third side wall 213 and the fourth side wall 214, cooperate with the oxygen outlet in the middle of the first side wall 211 to promote cross-flow of oxygen and indoor air. This design allows oxygen to diffuse vertically from the front and be supplemented laterally from the sides, forming a multi-directional airflow interaction, accelerating the mixing rate of oxygen and indoor air, and improving diffusion efficiency.
[0084] Example 4
[0085] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple oxygen outlets 220 are provided on the first sidewall 211, and one oxygen outlet 220 is provided on each of the third sidewall 213 and the fourth sidewall 214. The multiple oxygen outlets 220 on the first sidewall 211 can form a multi-point diffusion effect, which means that oxygen no longer depends solely on a single outlet for diffusion, but is released evenly from multiple points, significantly enhancing the coverage of oxygen in the room. This multi-point diffusion layout can more quickly increase the oxygen concentration of the entire room, ensuring that every corner receives a sufficient oxygen supply.
[0086] Oxygen outlets 220, respectively provided on the third side wall 213 and the fourth side wall 214, can cooperate with the multiple oxygen outlets on the first side wall 211 to promote indoor air circulation. When oxygen is released simultaneously from the front, back, and sides, it will cause indoor air convection, which helps oxygen to mix with indoor air more quickly and evenly, eliminates dead air zones, and improves the overall indoor air quality.
[0087] Example 5
[0088] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, an oxygen outlet 220 is provided in the middle of the first side wall 211. This structure is relatively simple, and the oxygen outlet 220 is located in the middle of the first side wall 211. During the air outlet process, the oxygen can be concentrated and blown out. The oxygen is dispersed into the room by the airflow in the air outlet channel 210.
[0089] Example 6
[0090] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, in this embodiment, oxygen outlets 220 are provided only on the third side wall 213 and the fourth side wall 214, meaning that the oxygen supply is more targeted and efficient. This is especially suitable for long and narrow or specially shaped rooms, as this layout can directly release oxygen to both ends of the room laterally, avoiding wasting resources in spaces that are not needed or difficult to reach, thereby optimizing the utilization rate of oxygen resources in the space.
[0091] Oxygen outlets 220 on the third and fourth side walls 213 and 214 facilitate lateral air circulation. Oxygen is introduced from both sides of the room, driving air to flow from one side to the other, creating an effective lateral airflow that improves air circulation and the even distribution of oxygen within the room, particularly effective in long room layouts.
[0092] like Figure 12 As shown, the air conditioner also includes: multiple oxygen supply branches 300, each connected to a corresponding oxygen outlet 220; and multiple control valves 400, installed on and connected to each oxygen supply branch 300, each corresponding to a corresponding oxygen supply branch 300. The control valves 400 are electronic valves. A flow meter 500 is installed on the oxygen delivery pipe of the oxygen generating module 100, and the outlet of the flow meter 500 is connected to each oxygen supply branch 300.
[0093] Multiple oxygen supply branches 300 are connected one-to-one with multiple oxygen outlets 220, and each branch is equipped with a corresponding control valve 400. This design enables independent control of each oxygen outlet. This means that the system can precisely adjust the oxygen flow rate of each oxygen outlet according to different areas of the room, the specific needs of the user, or changes in the air supply mode, achieving a more precise oxygen supply effect and optimizing indoor air quality.
[0094] The combined design of the oxygen supply branch 300 and the control valve 400 increases the system's flexibility and adapts to more diverse usage scenarios. For example, when a higher oxygen concentration is required in a specific area, the oxygen flow rate at the corresponding oxygen outlet can be increased through the control valve 400; when the room layout changes, the opening and closing of the oxygen outlet can also be adjusted through the control valve to ensure that the oxygen supply always meets the current environmental requirements, thus improving the system's adaptability.
[0095] When the oxygen supply system malfunctions, the one-to-one design of the oxygen supply branch 300 and control valve 400 enables maintenance personnel to quickly locate the specific oxygen outlet and oxygen supply branch where the problem occurs, simplifying the maintenance process and reducing the difficulty of troubleshooting, reducing maintenance time and costs, and improving the reliability and durability of the equipment.
[0096] The independent control of each oxygen outlet allows users to customize the oxygen supply mode according to their personal preferences or the activities in the room, such as centralized oxygen supply, uniform oxygen supply, or localized enhanced oxygen supply. This personalized service significantly improves the user experience and living comfort.
[0097] The air conditioner described in this application ensures uniform oxygen delivery and increases the oxygen diffusion range by rationally arranging the location and number of oxygen outlets. This solves the problems of oxygen accumulation or loss in certain areas of the indoor environment, as well as the separation of oxygen concentration between upper and lower parts of the room. Electronic valves are used to adjust the opening and closing of the oxygen outlets according to the airflow direction, ensuring that the oxygen outlet direction is consistent with the airflow direction, thus solving the problems of low oxygen diffusion efficiency and energy waste.
[0098] By placing the oxygen outlets 220 at the same height, the air supply system can evenly diffuse oxygen to all areas of the room. Considering the multiple oxygen outlets 220 and their location distribution, the uniformity of oxygen diffusion is further improved, diffusion efficiency is enhanced, and air quality is improved. For multiple oxygen outlets 220, electronic valves are used to control the opening and closing of each oxygen outlet 220, so that the oxygen outlet direction is consistent with the air supply direction, improving oxygen diffusion efficiency and further saving energy.
[0099] The oxygen outlets 220 are positioned at the same height as the air outlets. Considering the number and distribution of the oxygen outlets 220, multiple placement options are provided to ensure uniform oxygen delivery. Furthermore, electronic valves are installed in the oxygen delivery pipeline to control the opening and closing of the corresponding oxygen outlets 220 according to the airflow direction, utilizing the airflow guide structure to improve the diffusion efficiency of oxygen within the room.
[0100] The oxygen generating module 100 is installed in the outdoor unit and exhausts into the room through a separate exhaust pipe. Oxygen outlets 220 are located around the air outlets on the indoor unit 200. To ensure oxygen diffusion efficiency and uniformity, this application provides the following design scheme regarding the number and location of the oxygen outlets 220:
[0101] When the single oxygen outlet is 220, such as Figures 9 to 11 The three location arrangements provided in this application involve the oxygen outlet 220 being positioned in the middle of the air guide plate pivot on the left side of the indoor unit 200, in the middle of the air guide plate pivot on the right side of the indoor unit 200, and in the middle of the upper part of the air outlet of the indoor unit 200. In this case, the oxygen outlet 220 is positioned near the air outlet, and the delivered oxygen is blown into the room through the air guide structure, thereby improving the diffusion efficiency.
[0102] When there are two or more oxygen outlets at 220°C, the following location distribution is proposed. For example... Figures 1 to 8 As shown, two oxygen outlets 220 are distributed on both sides of the indoor unit 200, respectively located in the middle of the left and right air guide plate pivots; Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the two holes distributed on the left and right sides, an extra hole is added in the middle of the upper part of the air outlet of the indoor unit 200, forming a uniform three-hole oxygen outlet; as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, based on the three-oxygen outlet 220 structure, two holes are added to the upper part of the air outlet of the indoor unit 200, so that the three holes are flush and evenly distributed on the upper part of the indoor unit 200, forming a five-hole oxygen outlet, making the oxygen output more uniform; as Figure 4 As shown, based on the five oxygen outlet 220 structure, two more oxygen outlets 220 are added to the panel body at the lower part of the air outlet to form a seven-hole oxygen outlet, so that there are oxygen outlets 220 in the four air outlet directions around the air outlet. The opening and closing of the corresponding oxygen outlets 220 can be adjusted according to the air supply direction to save energy.
[0103] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the circular holes at the top and bottom of the air outlet are changed to groove-shaped holes, and their total length is consistent with the length of the air duct, which further increases the diffusion range and diffusion speed of oxygen, and also makes the distribution of oxygen more uniform.
[0104] Oxygen delivery circuit in air conditioner indoor unit, such as Figure 12 As shown, the oxygen produced by the oxygen generator is delivered to the indoor unit via a separate exhaust pipe. It first passes through an oxygen flow meter 500 and then through various oxygen supply branches 300 before reaching the oxygen outlet 220 and being discharged into the room. The oxygen flow meter 500 is used to measure, control, and regulate the oxygen flow rate in real time to ensure that the oxygen supply meets the demand. Electronic valves can control the opening and closing of the corresponding oxygen outlet 220 according to the airflow direction, ensuring that the oxygen outlet direction is consistent with the airflow direction, which is more conducive to improving diffusion efficiency and saving energy.
[0105] When the user sets a fixed-position swing to the left, the first electronic valve 410 opens, and the second, third, and fourth electronic valves 420, 430, and 440 close. When the user sets a fixed-position swing to the right, the third electronic valve 430 opens, and the first, second, and fourth electronic valves 410, 420, and 440 close. When the user sets a dynamic swing to the left or right, the first and third electronic valves 410 and 430 open, and the second, second, and fourth electronic valves 420 and 440 close. When the user sets a fixed-position swing to the upward, the second electronic valve 420 opens, and the first, third, and fourth electronic valves 410, 430, and 440 close. When the user sets a fixed-position swing to the downward, the fourth electronic valve 440 opens, and the first, second, second, and third electronic valves 410, 420, and 430 close. When the user sets a dynamic swing to the up or down, the second and fourth electronic valves 420 and 440 open, and the first, first, and third electronic valves 410 and 430 close.
[0106] Similarly, for a five-hole oxygen outlet structure, only the left and right sides and the upper part of the conveying pipeline are needed; for a three-hole oxygen outlet structure, only the left and right sides and the upper middle part of the conveying pipeline are needed; for a two-hole oxygen outlet structure, only the left and right sides of the conveying pipeline are needed; for a single-hole oxygen outlet structure, only the corresponding left, right, or upper middle part of the conveying pipeline is needed, and no electronic valve device is required.
[0107] As can be seen from the above description, the embodiments of this utility model achieve the following technical effects:
[0108] The air conditioner provided in this application includes an oxygen-generating module 100 and an indoor unit 200. The oxygen-generating module 100 generates oxygen. The indoor unit 200 is provided with an air outlet duct 210 and an oxygen outlet 220. The oxygen outlet 220 is positioned facing the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210, and the oxygen-generating module 100 is connected to the oxygen outlet 220. Multiple oxygen outlets 220 are arranged around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210. The air conditioner provided in this application ensures that oxygen can achieve comprehensive and thorough coverage of the room by providing multiple oxygen outlets 220 around the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210 on the indoor unit 200. Because the oxygen outlets 220 are closely connected to the air outlet of the air outlet duct 210, the powerful thrust of the air conditioner's airflow allows oxygen to quickly diffuse to every corner of the room, avoiding the problem of uneven oxygen distribution in traditional designs.
[0109] The oxygen outlet 220, with its surrounding layout, significantly improves oxygen delivery efficiency. Compared to a single outlet design, oxygen in this solution can enter the room simultaneously through multiple paths, reducing resistance along the delivery path and accelerating oxygen circulation. Furthermore, utilizing the natural power of the air conditioning system, oxygen can reach the desired concentration in a shorter time, enhancing user satisfaction.
