[0017] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0018] See Figures 1-4 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a kitchen air conditioner with a two-stage condensation structure, including a housing assembly 1, a water-cooling assembly, a condensing unit, and an evaporating unit. A condensing cavity 11 is formed on the inner side of the lower part of the housing assembly 1. A water tank 2 is fixed to the bottom of the condensing cavity 11. The water-cooling assembly is connected to the condensing cavity 11 and located above one side of the water tank 2. The water-cooling assembly is used to cool the water inside the water tank 2. The condensing unit is connected to the condensing cavity 11 located above the water tank 2. An evaporating cavity 12 is formed on the inner side of the upper part of the housing assembly 1. The evaporating unit is connected to the evaporating cavity 12. An air inlet channel 121 is provided on the side wall of the evaporating cavity 12. An air outlet 122 is provided at the top of the evaporation chamber 12, and the air outlet 122 is connected to the indoor space through an air duct; the condensing unit includes a condenser 31, a condensing coil 32, and a fan assembly 33; the condenser 31 is fixed to the rear side of the condensing chamber 11, the fan assembly 33 is fixed in the condensing chamber 11 located in front of the condenser 31, the condensing coil 32 is arranged inside the water tank 2 and immersed in the water inside the water tank 2, and the condensing coil 32 is connected in series with the condenser 31; in addition, in the above-mentioned kitchen air conditioning structure, the connection sequence of the condenser 31 and the condensing coil 32 with the compressor in the kitchen air conditioner can be adjusted as needed.
[0019] The condenser coil 32 includes a branch pipe 321, a manifold 322, and several branch pipes 323 spaced from top to bottom. Each branch pipe 323 is connected to both ends of the branch pipe 321 and the manifold 322, and all branch pipes 323 are submerged in the water inside the water tank 2. By adopting this type of condenser coil, when the kitchen air conditioner is in cooling mode, the contact area between the condenser coil and the water in the water tank can be increased by the action of several branch pipes, thereby improving the cooling effect of the refrigerant when it flows through the branch pipes in the condenser coil.
[0020] A return bend 324 is provided on the diversion pipe 321.
[0021] The water-cooling assembly includes an evaporative cooling pad 41, a water pump 42, and a water distributor 43. The evaporative cooling pad 41 is installed in the condensing chamber 11 and located above one side of the water tank 2. The water distributor 43 is fixed in the condensing chamber 11 and located above the evaporative cooling pad 41. The water pump 42 is installed at the bottom of the water tank 2. The water inlet of the water distributor 43 is connected to the water outlet of the water pump 42 through an inlet pipe 44. With this water-cooling assembly, when the kitchen air conditioner is in cooling mode and the water pump is working, the water pump can draw water from the water tank and deliver the water to the water distributor. The water distributor can evenly distribute the water to the upper part of the evaporative cooling pad. Then the water can flow vertically through the evaporative cooling pad. When the water flows through the evaporative cooling pad, it can dissipate heat. After the water is cooled, it can flow back into the water tank, thus achieving evaporative cooling of the water in the water tank.
[0022] A float inlet valve 21 is installed inside the water tank 2. The inlet end of the float inlet valve 21 is connected to the water supply pipe. With the float inlet valve, when the kitchen air conditioner is in cooling mode, that is, when the water in the water tank is evaporating and dissipating heat through the water cooling components, if there is a shortage of water in the water tank, the water supply pipe can automatically replenish water to the water tank through the float inlet valve so that the water level in the water tank is maintained at the required water level.
[0023] A drain solenoid valve 22 is connected to the bottom of water tank 2, and a water supply solenoid valve 23 is connected to the water supply pipe. With this structure, when the kitchen air conditioner is in cooling mode, the drain solenoid valve 22 is normally closed under the control of the kitchen air conditioner controller, and the water supply solenoid valve 23 is normally open under the control of the kitchen air conditioner controller. At this time, during the process of water evaporation and heat dissipation in the water tank through the water-cooling components, if there is a shortage of water in the water tank, the water supply pipe can automatically replenish water to the water tank through the float inlet valve to maintain the water level in the water tank at the required level. The water supply solenoid valve 23 allows water from the water supply pipe to flow through and replenish the water tank through the float inlet valve. When the kitchen air conditioner is in heating mode, the drain solenoid valve 22 is normally open under the control of the kitchen air conditioner controller, and the water supply solenoid valve 23 is normally closed under the control of the kitchen air conditioner controller. At this time, the water in the water tank can be discharged through the drain solenoid valve 22, and because the water supply solenoid valve 23 is normally closed, water from the water supply pipe cannot enter the water tank.
[0024] The evaporation unit includes an evaporator 51 and a volute centrifugal fan 52. The evaporator 51 is fixed in the evaporation chamber 12, and the volute centrifugal fan 52 is disposed inside the evaporator 51 and partially surrounded by it. The air inlet side of the evaporator 51 faces the air inlet channel 121, and the air outlet end of the volute centrifugal fan 52 is connected to the air outlet 122 located at the top of the evaporation chamber 12. By adopting this evaporation unit, when the kitchen air conditioner is in cooling mode and the volute centrifugal fan is working, air from the external environment can flow sequentially through the air inlet channel to... The air enters the evaporator and then the evaporator. As the air flows through the evaporator, it cools the air. The cooled air is then sent into the room through the volute centrifugal fan, the air outlet, and the duct. Similarly, when the kitchen air conditioner is in heating mode, the air from the outside environment flows through the air inlet and the evaporator and then into the evaporator. As the air flows through the evaporator, it heats the air. The heated air is then sent into the room through the volute centrifugal fan, the air outlet, and the duct.
[0025] A filter element 6 is embedded in the air inlet channel 121; through the setting of the filter element, the filter element can filter the air that is about to flow through the evaporator to remove dust in the air, thereby keeping the evaporator clean.
[0026] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
