Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air conditioning equipment technology, specifically to an air outlet structure for a marine air conditioning unit. Background Technology
[0002] A floor-standing air conditioner is a common type of air conditioner. It is a vertical indoor unit of a split-type air conditioner and is usually paired with an outdoor unit to form a complete air conditioning system. It is named for the vertical cabinet shape of the indoor unit. It is mainly used for temperature regulation in large spaces. A floor-standing air conditioner consists of two parts: an indoor unit and an outdoor unit.
[0003] The air outlet of the marine air conditioner outdoor unit is the air exhaust channel after the condenser dissipates heat. Its core function is to quickly exhaust the hot air that has absorbed the heat from the room, prevent the hot air from accumulating around the condenser, and ensure that the condenser can continuously absorb heat from the refrigerant. The air outlet of the marine air conditioner outdoor unit is a key component that balances efficient heat dissipation and adaptability to extreme environments. Its design needs to focus on core requirements such as corrosion resistance, vibration resistance, foreign object protection, and compatibility with ship space to ensure that the air conditioner operates stably in the complex marine environment.
[0004] The outdoor units of existing marine air conditioning cabinets may be exposed to foreign objects such as waves, rain, dust, and birds in the marine environment, which may require obstruction of the air outlet. When a ship is sailing, the wind direction and speed are constantly changing. If the hot air discharged from the air outlet is "pushed back" by the oncoming wind, it will also cause the condenser intake air temperature to rise and reduce the cooling efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an air outlet structure for a marine air conditioning unit to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: It includes a device housing and an air intake. The outer wall of the device housing is provided with a first exhaust port and a second exhaust port, and one end of the air intake port is provided with a third exhaust port. One end of the first exhaust port is provided with a first baffle, which is movably connected to the device housing. The inner wall of the device housing is provided with a heat exchanger assembly. The inner walls of the second and third exhaust ports are each provided with a cleaning assembly, which includes a gear, a rack, and a support rod.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the equipment is equipped with multiple air outlets through the setting of the first and second air outlets. This effectively solves the problem of poor heat dissipation when facing strong winds and waves. It also allows staff to adjust the heat dissipation outlets according to the on-site wind and wave conditions, improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment and greatly reducing the phenomenon of condenser inlet air temperature rise and reduced cooling efficiency. With the setting of the first baffle, in extreme situations such as dust, birds, or other foreign objects, the first baffle can be used to block the first or second air outlet as needed. This ensures that the equipment can dissipate heat normally while reducing the entry of foreign objects into the equipment and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0008] The present invention is further configured such that the first exhaust port and the third exhaust port are arranged opposite to each other, and the first baffle is stationary and located on the outer wall of the first exhaust port.

[0011] Preferably, the drive motor can drive the rotating shaft, which refers to the rotating rod. A first baffle is installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod to facilitate the flipping of the first baffle.
[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the third air outlet is located at one end of the air intake, and the second and third air outlets are at right angles.
[0013] Preferably, the position of the air outlet can be temporarily adjusted according to the site conditions, which effectively improves the practicality of the equipment.
[0014] The present invention is further configured such that the first exhaust vent, the second exhaust vent, and the third exhaust vent have the same size, shape, and number of air outlets.
[0015] Preferably, the first baffle can block the heat dissipation air outlet and also facilitate the diversion of airflow.
[0016] The present invention is further configured such that the outer wall of the full gear is provided with a rack, and two sets of racks are arranged opposite to each other, and the full gear and the rack mesh with each other.
[0017] Preferably, the rotation of the gears causes the rack to move the support rod, thus transmitting kinetic energy and reducing the energy consumption of the equipment.
[0018] The present invention is further configured such that a connecting block is installed on the outer wall of the rack, and a support rod is provided at one end of the connecting block near the second and third air outlets.
[0019] Preferably, the cleaning rod is used to clean the inner walls of the second and third exhaust vents.
[0020] The present invention is further configured such that the number of connecting blocks and support rods is two sets, and the number of cleaning rods is the same as the number of air outlet holes of the second air vent.
[0021] Preferably, multiple sets of connecting blocks and support rods effectively improve cleaning efficiency, thereby increasing the working efficiency of the components.
[0022] The present invention is further provided that a cleaning rod is provided at one end of the support rod near the second and third air outlets, and a brush is provided at the end of the cleaning rod that contacts the second and third air outlets.
[0023] Preferably, dust accumulation in the second and third exhaust vents is reduced to improve the heat dissipation effect of the equipment.

[0026] 2. By setting up the first baffle, this utility model can block the first or second exhaust vent when encountering extreme situations such as dust, birds or other foreign objects. This ensures that the equipment can dissipate heat normally while reducing the entry of foreign objects into the equipment and improving the service life of the equipment. Attached Figure Description

[0035] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0036] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.
[0037] First embodiment:
[0038] Please see Figures 1-5 The device includes a housing 1 and an air intake 2. The outer wall of the housing 1 is provided with a first exhaust vent 3 and a second exhaust vent 4, and one end of the air intake 2 is provided with a third exhaust vent 5. One end of the first exhaust vent 3 is provided with a first baffle 6, which is movably connected to the housing 1. The inner wall of the housing 1 is provided with a heat exchanger assembly 7. The inner walls of the second exhaust vent 4 and the third exhaust vent 5 are each provided with a cleaning assembly, which includes a gear 8, a rack 9, and a support rod 11. The arrangement of the first exhaust vent 3 and the second exhaust vent 4 allows the device to have multiple sets of heat dissipation outlets, facilitating adjustments by personnel based on on-site wind and wave conditions, improving the device's heat dissipation effect, and significantly reducing the phenomenon of condenser inlet air temperature rise and reduced cooling efficiency. The first baffle 6, when encountering extreme conditions such as dust, birds, or other foreign objects, can be used to block the first exhaust vent 3 or the second exhaust vent 4, ensuring normal heat dissipation while reducing the entry of foreign objects into the device and extending its service life.
[0039] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 The first exhaust vent 3 and the third exhaust vent 5 are arranged opposite each other, and the first baffle 6 is stationary on the outer wall of the first exhaust vent 3. When the equipment is running normally, the second exhaust vent 4 and the third exhaust vent 5 are usually venting air, while the first exhaust vent 3 is blocked.
[0040] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3The first baffle 6 is connected to the housing 1 of the rotating shaft device, and a drive motor is provided at one end of the rotating shaft. The drive motor can drive the rotating shaft. Here, the rotating shaft refers to the rotating rod. The first baffle 6 is installed on the outer wall of the rotating rod to facilitate the flipping of the first baffle 6.
[0041] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 The third air outlet 5 is located at one end of the air intake 2, and the second air outlet 4 and the third air outlet 5 are at right angles. The position of the air outlet can be temporarily adjusted according to the site conditions, which effectively improves the practicality of the equipment.
[0042] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-3 The first air vent 3, the second air vent 4, and the third air vent 5 have the same size, shape, and number of air outlets, which makes it easy for the first baffle 6 to block the heat dissipation air outlets and also to guide the airflow.
[0043] Second embodiment:
[0044] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 The difference between Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 1 is that, while retaining the features of Embodiment 1, a cleaning component is added to the inner wall of the second exhaust vent 4 and the third exhaust vent 5 to improve the heat dissipation effect of the second exhaust vent 4 and the third exhaust vent 5.
[0045] A cleaning assembly is provided on the inner wall of the device housing 1 near the second exhaust port 4 and the third exhaust port 5. The cleaning assembly includes a full gear 8, a rack 9, a connecting block 10, a support rod 11, and a cleaning rod 12. The rotation of the full gear 8 is driven by a drive motor, which causes the rack 9 to move the support rod 11, thereby enabling the cleaning rod 12 to clean the inner walls of the second exhaust port 4 and the third exhaust port 5, reducing the accumulation of dust in the second exhaust port 4 and the third exhaust port 5 and improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment.
[0046] In practical operation, this utility model is as follows:
[0047] When the hot air exhausted from the ship's vent is pushed back by the oncoming wind, the drive motor can be started, causing the starter motor to rotate the first baffle 6 to protect the first exhaust port 3 or the second exhaust port 4 of the heat dissipation vent that is facing the oncoming wind. At the same time, the heat dissipation vent that is not facing the oncoming wind exhausts the hot air inside the equipment, which greatly reduces the phenomenon of the condenser inlet air temperature rising and the cooling efficiency decreasing, improves the heat dissipation effect inside the equipment, and effectively extends the service life of the heat dissipation vent.
[0048] When a certain amount of dust or other foreign objects accumulate at the heat dissipation vents of the equipment during long-term operation of the ship, the staff starts the drive motor, which causes the gear 8 to move the rack 9, thereby moving the connecting block 10 and the support rod 11. This allows the cleaning rod 12 to clean the inner walls of the second and third air vents 4 and 5, effectively improving the heat dissipation effect of the equipment and increasing work efficiency.
[0049] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, these specific embodiments are merely explanations of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions, and variations to the embodiments as needed without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, provided that such modifications, substitutions, and variations are within the scope of the claims of the present invention and are protected by patent law.
