Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of industrial air conditioning equipment technology, and in particular to an airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning. Background Technology

[0002] Industrial air conditioning is a type of air conditioning equipment that provides environmental temperature, humidity, and cleanliness guarantees for the reliable operation of industrial production processes or industrial equipment. In traditional industrial sectors, such as steel and chemical industries, production processes rely on industrial air conditioning to maintain suitable environmental temperature and humidity. For example, steelmaking workshops often face harsh conditions such as high temperatures. The application of specialized air conditioning units not only ensures the normal operation of workshop equipment but also provides workers with a relatively comfortable working environment. With the rapid development of high-end manufacturing, the electronics and information industry, and new energy-related industries, people have more stringent requirements for the air quality of their working environments, leading to increasingly differentiated needs for industrial air conditioning across industries. This has driven the development of efficient, intelligent, and environmentally friendly industrial air conditioning systems.

[0003] Existing industrial air conditioners typically have fixed air outlets that can only swing air up and down or left and right, offering limited adjustability. Furthermore, the airflow from these outlets is relatively weak, resulting in a lack of directional airflow. Because production workshops are often large spaces, areas farther from the air conditioner often don't receive direct airflow, leading to uneven temperatures within the workshop.

[0004] Based on this, researchers have developed various air conditioning distributors with gas diversion functions. For example, patent application CN118882246A discloses an air conditioning distributor with a diversion component, relating to the field of air conditioning distributor technology. It includes a main body, connecting pipes, and branch joints. A filter screen is installed inside the connecting pipe, and an adjustment component is installed inside the main body. This invention filters the medium through the filter screen, which slides on a support rod and is vibrated, allowing impurities to be passively shaken off and collected, extending the distributor's service life. The adjustment rod adjusts the angle between each guide plate and the fixed rod, creating different channels between the guide plates and the inner wall of the main body, thus changing the distributor's internal cavity and precisely controlling its heat exchange effect. Adjusting the distance between the guide plates and the inner wall of the main body reduces the pipe diameter and accelerates the medium's flow rate, allowing the medium to impact the branch joint at a higher speed in the latter half of the distributor, causing droplets to form a mist-like flow. This impact also disperses air bubbles in the medium, improving the gas-liquid two-phase mixing effect. However, the aforementioned air conditioning distributor combines filtration with flow rate regulation and optimizes gas-liquid mixing through mechanical structure. Its structure is complex and requires professional operation for maintenance. Furthermore, the aforementioned air conditioning distributor still cannot solve the problem of adjusting the position and direction of the air outlet according to actual needs to adapt to different workshop layouts and process requirements, and the directionality of the blown air is poor. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides an airflow optimization distributor for air conditioners, which not only improves the directionality of airflow, but also has greater adjustment flexibility and is easier to install and maintain.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning, including an outer cover, a spherical flow divider installed inside the outer cover, a first flow guide and a second flow guide, wherein the spherical flow divider is used to distribute the airflow blown out by the air conditioner to the first flow guide and the second flow guide.

[0007] At least one spherical air nozzle with adjustable air direction is rotatably mounted on the outer cover. The air outlet of the first guide shroud is sealed and connected to the air inlet of the spherical air nozzle. The airflow distributed to the first guide shroud by the spherical diverter is blown out of the outer cover through the spherical air nozzle.

[0008] The outer cover is also provided with a second air outlet, and the second air guide cover covers the second air outlet. The airflow distributed to the second air guide cover by the spherical flow divider is blown out of the outer cover through the second air outlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the second air outlet is honeycomb-shaped, and the second air outlet and the spherical air nozzle are located on adjacent sides of the outer cover.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes a first diverter pipe and a second diverter pipe, with the two ends of the first diverter pipe connected to the spherical diverter shroud and the first flow guide shroud, respectively, and the two ends of the second diverter pipe connected to the spherical diverter shroud and the second flow guide shroud, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, an electrically controlled valve is installed on the second diversion pipe.

[0012] Furthermore, an electrically controlled gate valve is installed on the first shunt pipe.

[0013] Furthermore, a first annular sealing ring is installed on the spherical air nozzle, and the first annular sealing ring is in contact with the first air guide.

[0014] Furthermore, the spherical nozzle is provided with an airflow channel, the diameter of which decreases along the direction of airflow.

[0015] Furthermore, the airflow rate distributed to the first deflector by the spherical deflector is greater than the airflow rate distributed to the second deflector.

[0016] Furthermore, it also includes an annular mounting plate, with the outer cover rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the annular mounting plate.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a cylindrical inner sleeve for guiding the airflow blown out by the air conditioner into the outer casing, with the cylindrical inner sleeve mounted on the lower surface of the annular mounting plate.

[0018] The beneficial technical effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] 1. This utility model airflow optimization distributor for air conditioners can distribute and adjust the air blown out by the air conditioner, making the air blown out by the air conditioner more directional. Moreover, the air outlet of the spherical air nozzle can be adjusted to a suitable position as needed, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the air blowing equipment.

[0020] 2. Improved airflow directionality: By setting up a honeycomb-shaped second air outlet and a second air guide, the airflow direction can be effectively adjusted, making the airflow more concentrated and directional. This structural design can ensure that all areas in the workshop can be covered by uniform airflow, avoiding the problems of fixed air outlets, dispersed and uneven airflow in traditional air conditioning systems.

[0021] 3. Adjustment flexibility: The airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning of this utility model can adjust the position and direction of the spherical air outlet and the second air outlet according to actual needs, so as to adapt to different workshop layouts and process requirements. At the same time, the design of the electronically controlled valve makes the air volume adjustment more precise and convenient, further improving the flexibility and adaptability of the airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning.

[0022] 4. Enhanced system stability: The spherical diffuser design ensures that airflow is properly distributed before entering the workshop, reducing the impact of uneven wind speed or sudden changes in wind direction on equipment operation. This helps maintain the stability of the workshop environment and ensures the normal operation of production equipment and product quality.

[0023] 5. Improved energy efficiency: Air conditioning airflow optimizers can more accurately control airflow direction and volume, thereby avoiding ineffective or excessive cooling / heating, thus reducing energy consumption. In addition, reasonable airflow distribution also helps to reduce the generation of hot and cold spots, further improving overall energy efficiency.

[0024] 6. Easy to install and maintain: The airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning of this utility model has a simple design and compact structure, which makes it easy to connect and install with existing industrial air conditioning systems; at the same time, its modular design also makes maintenance and replacement simpler and more convenient.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this utility model provides an airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning, including an outer cover 2, a spherical diverter 17 installed inside the outer cover 2, a first guide shroud 3, and a second guide shroud 16. The spherical diverter 17 is used to distribute the airflow blown out by the air conditioner to the first guide shroud 3 and the second guide shroud 16. At least one spherical air nozzle 4 with adjustable airflow direction is rotatably installed on the outer cover 2. The air outlet of the first guide shroud 3 is sealed and connected to the air inlet of the spherical air nozzle 4. The airflow distributed to the first guide shroud 3 by the spherical diverter 17 is blown out of the outer cover 2 through the spherical air nozzle 4. A second air outlet 1 is also provided on the outer cover 2. The second guide shroud 16 covers the second air outlet 1. The airflow distributed to the second guide shroud 16 by the spherical diverter 17 is blown out of the outer cover 2 through the second air outlet 1.

[0035] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the distributor of this application also includes an annular mounting plate 6 and a cylindrical inner sleeve 9 for guiding the airflow blown out by the air conditioner into the outer cover 2. The outer cover 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the annular mounting plate 6, and the cylindrical inner sleeve 9 is mounted on the lower surface of the annular mounting plate 6. Furthermore, the cylindrical inner sleeve 9 is used for a sealed rotatable connection with the air outlet of the industrial air conditioner to fix the distributor on the industrial air conditioner. A second annular sealing ring 15 is fitted on the outer side of the cylindrical inner sleeve 9 to prevent leakage of the airflow blown out by the air conditioner. The upper surface of the annular mounting plate 6 has a plurality of mounting holes 5 evenly distributed along its edge. Bolts are used to pass through the mounting holes 5 to press the outer cover 2 tightly onto the outer casing of the air conditioner. Correspondingly, the upper surface of the air conditioner casing near the air outlet has a ring-shaped array of evenly distributed bolt holes. Specifically, when it is necessary to rotate and adjust the position of the spherical air nozzle 4 in the horizontal plane, the bolts passing through the mounting holes 5 are loosened, allowing the outer cover 2 to be rotated. After the outer cover 2 is rotated to a suitable angle, bolts are used to fix the outer cover 2 in its current position. More specifically, the lower surface of the annular mounting plate 6 of this application is also fitted with a third annular sealing ring 12, so as to achieve a sealed connection between the cylindrical inner sleeve 9 and the air inlet of the outer cover 2 by using the third annular sealing ring 12.

[0036] Furthermore, the distributor of this application also includes a guide pipe 14, which is installed inside the outer casing 2. The air inlet of the guide pipe 14 is connected to the air outlet of the cylindrical inner sleeve 9, and the air outlet of the guide pipe 14 is connected to the air inlet of the spherical distribution shroud 17. The airflow blown out by the air conditioner passes sequentially through the cylindrical inner sleeve 9 and the guide pipe 14 into the spherical distribution shroud 17. The diameter of the guide pipe 14 decreases along the direction of airflow.

[0037] Furthermore, the outer casing 2 of this application is symmetrically provided with second air guide shrouds 16 on both the front and rear sides, and the outer casing 2 is symmetrically provided with second air outlets 1 in a honeycomb pattern on both the front and rear sides, with the second air outlets 1 and the spherical air nozzles 4 located on adjacent sides of the outer casing 2. The air outlets of the second air guide shrouds 16 are connected to the second air outlets 1, which are used to blow air forward and backward. This application utilizes the honeycomb-shaped second air outlets 1 to ensure uniform airflow distribution and avoid situations where the local airflow is too strong or too weak; at the same time, the honeycomb-shaped second air outlets 1 can reduce energy loss and improve the overall energy efficiency of the distributor while providing sufficient airflow.

[0038] Furthermore, in this application, the airflow distributed by the spherical diffuser 17 to the first guide hood 3 is greater than the airflow distributed to the second guide hood 16. This application directs more airflow to the first guide hood 3 and the spherical nozzle 4, reducing energy loss in airflow distribution. The airflow prioritizes the needs of the spherical nozzle 4, fully leveraging its long-distance air delivery advantage. In addition, the spherical nozzle 4 in this application is designed with an adjustable airflow direction, capable of changing the air delivery direction. This adjustment function is more effective when the first guide hood 3 receives more airflow, allowing users to flexibly adjust the air delivery direction and angle according to actual needs.

[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the spherical nozzle 4 has an airflow channel inside, and the diameter of the airflow channel decreases along the direction of airflow. The airflow channel is located in the center of the spherical nozzle 4 of this application. The airflow channel is conical, and when the airflow passing through the first guide shroud 3 enters the airflow channel of the spherical nozzle 4, it can be accelerated and ejected.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the preferred number of spherical air nozzles 4 in this application is four, which are evenly distributed on the right side of the first guide shroud 3. The four spherical air nozzles 4 share the total airflow, reducing the workload of each individual nozzle 4, thus minimizing wear and fatigue and extending the overall lifespan of the distributor. Furthermore, the design of four independent spherical air nozzles 4 allows for individual maintenance or replacement without affecting the other nozzles 4.

[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first annular sealing ring 10 is installed on the spherical air nozzle 4, and the first annular sealing ring 10 is in contact with the first guide shroud 3; and the spherical air nozzle 4 is in close contact with the first guide shroud 3. When the position of the spherical air nozzle 4 is rotated, the spherical air nozzle 4 can be kept in the original position by friction.

[0042] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, this application also includes a first diverter pipe 13 and a second diverter pipe 8. The two ends of the first diverter pipe 13 are connected to the spherical diverter shroud 17 and the first guide shroud 3, respectively, and the two ends of the second diverter pipe 8 are connected to the spherical diverter shroud 17 and the second guide shroud 16, respectively. The first diverter pipe 13 receives a larger proportion of the airflow to meet the operational requirements of the four spherical nozzles 4, while the second diverter pipe 8 distributes the remaining airflow to the second guide shroud 16. This application utilizes the first diverter pipe 13 and the second diverter pipe 8 to form a safety redundancy design. When one diverter pipe becomes blocked or leaks, the other can still maintain partial functionality, preventing the distributor from completely failing.

[0043] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, an electrically controlled valve 11 is installed on the second diversion pipe 8, and an electrically controlled gate valve 7 is installed on the first diversion pipe 13.

[0044] Furthermore, the method of using the airflow optimization distributor for air conditioning according to this application is as follows:

[0045] When it is necessary to distribute the airflow from the air conditioner, the industrial air conditioner is turned on. The gas flowing out of the air conditioner outlet enters the interior of the cylindrical inner sleeve 9, and then enters the interior of the spherical diverter shroud 17 through the guide pipe 14. A small amount of gas enters the interior of the second guide shroud 16 through the second diverter pipe 8, and then is blown out through the honeycomb-shaped second air outlet 1. A large amount of gas enters the interior of the first guide shroud 3 through the first diverter pipe 13, and then is blown out through multiple spherical air nozzles 4. After the gas flows through the airflow channel in the spherical air nozzle 4, it can be accelerated and ejected.

[0046] By controlling the opening and closing of the electrically controlled valve 11 and the electrically controlled gate valve 7 through the external switch group, the size of the airflow blown in each direction by the second air outlet 1 and the spherical air nozzle 4 can be effectively controlled.

[0047] When it is necessary to adjust the airflow direction, the air blown out by the air conditioner can be directed to the designated position by rotating the air outlet of the spherical air nozzle 4. When it is necessary to rotate and adjust the position of the spherical air nozzle 4 in the horizontal plane, the bolt passing through the mounting hole 5 can be loosened, and the position of the outer cover 2 can be rotated. After the outer cover 2 is rotated to the appropriate angle, the bolt is used to fix the outer cover 2 in the current position.

[0048] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
