Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning technology, and in particular to a combined air duct structure and a cabinet air conditioner. Background Technology
[0002] Existing cabinet air conditioners have relatively limited air delivery range, angle, and method. In particular, the installation or placement location of cabinet air conditioners varies greatly from the user's preferred location, making it difficult to meet the needs of all users in different environments. Using traditional single air duct and outlet methods, or a single air delivery method, can easily lead to uneven room temperature, resulting in a poor user experience for different users. Utility Model Content
[0003] To overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: how to improve the problem of the single air supply direction and mode of the existing cabinet air conditioner.
[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: A combined air duct structure includes an air conditioner housing, which has an air inlet, at least one first air outlet, and at least one second air outlet. A heat exchanger is disposed inside the air conditioner housing. The first air outlet is vertically disposed on the front of the air conditioner housing, and the second air outlet is horizontally disposed on the side or lower side of the front of the air conditioner housing. The air conditioner housing has a first air duct and a second air duct, both of which are connected to the air inlet. The air outlet of the first air duct is connected to the first air outlet, and the air outlet of the second air duct is connected to the second air outlet. The heat exchanger is located between the air inlet and the first and second air ducts. A cross-flow fan with a vertical axis is disposed in the first air duct, and a centrifugal fan with a horizontal axis is disposed in the second air duct.
[0005] Furthermore, the feature is that one of the aforementioned first air outlets, one of the aforementioned first air ducts, and one of the aforementioned cross-flow fans constitute an air outlet unit; the aforementioned air outlet units are configured as two, and the two aforementioned air outlet units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front of the aforementioned air conditioner housing.
[0006] Furthermore, there are two second air outlets, which are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the front of the air conditioner housing, and the first air outlet is located between the two first air outlets.
[0007] Furthermore, the heat exchanger includes a first heat exchange section and a second heat exchange section, wherein the first heat exchange section is correspondingly disposed over the air inlet end of the first air duct, and the second heat exchange section is correspondingly disposed over the air inlet end of the second air duct.
[0008] This application also proposes a cabinet-type air conditioner, including the aforementioned combined air duct structure.
[0009] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: A cross-flow fan draws air into the first air duct from the air inlet. The temperature of the drawn air is regulated by the heat exchanger. Part of the regulated air then enters the first air duct, while the rest enters the second air duct. The air in the first air duct is exhausted from the front or sides by the cross-flow fan, while the air in the second air duct is circulated vertically by a centrifugal fan. This achieves multi-directional and multi-mode airflow, ensuring uniform room temperature and enhancing the user experience. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0011] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0012] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a combined air duct structure is proposed, including an air conditioner housing 1. The air conditioner housing 1 is provided with an air inlet 3, at least one first air outlet 4, and at least one second air outlet 9. A heat exchanger 2 is disposed inside the air conditioner housing 1. The first air outlet 4 is vertically disposed on the front of the air conditioner housing 1, and the second air outlet 9 is horizontally disposed on the side or lower side of the front of the air conditioner housing 1. The air conditioner housing 1 is provided with a first air duct 5 and a second air duct 6. The first air duct 5 and the second air duct 6 are both connected to the air inlet 3, and the air outlet end of the first air duct 5 is connected to the first air outlet 4, and the air outlet end of the second air duct 6 is connected to the second air outlet 9. The heat exchanger 2 is located between the air inlet 3 and the first air duct 5 and the second air duct 6. A cross-flow fan 7 with a vertical axis is disposed in the first air duct 5, and a centrifugal fan 8 with a horizontal axis is disposed in the second air duct 6.
[0013] The cross-flow fan 7 draws air from the air inlet 3 into the first air duct 5. The temperature of the drawn air is regulated by the heat exchanger 2. Part of the regulated air enters the first air duct 5, and the other part enters the second air duct 6. The air in the first air duct 5 is discharged from the front or sides by the cross-flow fan 7, while the air in the second air duct 6 is flowed vertically by the centrifugal fan 8, thus achieving air outlet in both vertical and horizontal positions, thereby achieving the effect of multi-directional and multi-mode air outlet.
[0014] In other words, the cross-flow fan 7 acts on the air after heat exchange to achieve air outlet from the front or sides, while the centrifugal fan 8 acts on the air after heat exchange to achieve air outlet from the top and bottom.
[0015] In this embodiment, one first air outlet 4, one first air duct 5, and one cross-flow fan 7 constitute an air outlet unit; two air outlet units are provided, and the two air outlet units are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front of the air conditioner housing 1. By setting two air outlets, the effect of air outlets on the left and right sides is achieved; moreover, two second air outlets 9 are provided, and the two second air outlets 9 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the front of the air conditioner housing 1, and the first air outlet 4 is located between the two first air outlets 4; thereby achieving the effect of air outlets on the left and right sides and air outlets on the upper and lower sides simultaneously.
[0016] The heat exchanger 2 includes a first heat exchange section and a second heat exchange section. The first heat exchange section is correspondingly disposed on the air inlet end of the first air duct 5, and the second heat exchange section is correspondingly disposed on the air inlet end of the second air duct 6. Specifically, the heat exchanger 2 is C-shaped, with the first heat exchange section at both ends and the second heat exchange section in the middle. That is to say, inside the air conditioner housing 1, the second air duct 6 is sandwiched between the two first air ducts 5. The C-shaped heat exchanger 2 covers the air inlet ends of the first air duct 5 and the second air duct 6, so that the first heat exchange section of the heat exchanger 2 provides heat exchange for left and right air outlets, and the second heat exchange section provides heat exchange for up and down air outlets.
[0017] This embodiment also proposes a cabinet-type air conditioner, which includes the aforementioned combined air duct structure. Through the stable operation of the combined air duct structure, it achieves multi-directional and multi-mode air output, ensuring uniform room temperature and improving user experience.
