Description

Air conditioning with adjustable humidity Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of refrigeration equipment, and more particularly to an air conditioner with adjustable humidity. Background Art

[0002] Air conditioners are common electrical appliances in our daily lives. They mainly work through evaporators and condensers to exchange heat with the air. Mobile air conditioners are widely used due to their mobility and wide range of applications. There are generally two ways to deal with the condensed water generated by the evaporator of a mobile air conditioner.

[0003] 1. The condensed water flows directly into the bottom of the condenser and is then dispersed by a water pump motor to cool the condenser. This causes the condensed water generated when the user uses the air conditioner to be continuously evaporated into the air in the room. Over time, the humidity in the room will increase, putting the human body in a high humidity state. Excessive relative humidity will slow down the evaporation of water in the body, resulting in poor heat dissipation and easy feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath.

[0004] 2. Connect a drain pipe to drain the condensed water directly to the outside. Over time, the relative humidity in the room will decrease, and the air will be too dry, causing dryness in the mouth and nose. In severe cases, it will cause irritation and damage to the respiratory mucosa.

[0005] Therefore, the air conditioners in the prior art cannot control the relative humidity in the room during use, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0006] Utility Model Content

[0007] In view of this, the utility model provides an air conditioner with adjustable humidity.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the first aspect of the present invention provides an air conditioner with adjustable humidity, comprising:

[0009] A refrigeration system having a condenser assembly and an evaporator assembly for exchanging heat with the air;

[0010] A circulating water system comprising a water trough, a water storage tank and a water-pumping flywheel assembly;

[0011] Also includes:

[0012] A first pipeline, through which condensed water generated during operation of the evaporator assembly flows to a water storage tank;

[0013] The second pipeline is used for the condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator assembly to flow to the water pumping tank, the water pumping flywheel assembly or the condenser assembly through the second pipeline;

[0014] a first control valve, controlling the condensate to flow to the first pipeline or the second pipeline;

[0015] A sensor for sensing ambient humidity;

[0016] A control system for controlling the operation of the first control valve and the water-pumping flywheel assembly based on a signal from the sensor;

[0017] In this technology, the air conditioner is an integrated mobile air conditioner. When in use, the ambient humidity is detected by a sensor. When the ambient humidity is within a set first numerical range, the second pipeline is kept connected and the first pipeline is disconnected. The condensed water flows through the second pipeline to the water pumping tank or the water pumping flywheel assembly or the condenser assembly, and finally acts on the condenser to perform water cooling on the condenser. The condensed water is evaporated and the ambient humidity is increased; when the ambient humidity exceeds the set first numerical range, the first pipeline is kept connected and the second pipeline is disconnected. The condensed water is collected in the water storage tank and waits to be used. At the same time, the water pumping flywheel assembly stops, and the condenser is no longer water-cooled to reduce water evaporation. The evaporator continues to operate to cool and dry the air in the environment, so that the ambient humidity is reduced. This cycle is repeated to achieve the purpose of regulating the ambient humidity. During the use of the air conditioner, the relative humidity can always be controlled within the comfort range, which can directly improve the user's usability.

[0018] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the sensor is a humidity sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor; in this technology, whether a humidity sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor is used, the purpose of measuring the ambient humidity can be achieved. The temperature and humidity sensor has a temperature detection function and can also detect the ambient temperature in real time.

[0019] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the first control valve has a first state and a second state, wherein:

[0021] When the sensor detects that the ambient humidity exceeds a first value range, the control system controls the first control valve to be in a second state, the first pipeline is connected, the second pipeline is disconnected, and the condensed water flows to the first pipeline; the control system controls the water-pumping flywheel assembly to stop;

[0022] In this technology, the ambient humidity is within the first numerical range, which defines the range within which the user feels comfortable. If the humidity exceeds this numerical range, the humidity is too high, giving the user a poor user experience.

[0023] Within the first numerical range, the first pipeline is disconnected and the second pipeline is connected. The condensed water flows through the second pipeline to the water pumping tank or the water pumping flywheel assembly or the condenser assembly. The condensed water eventually acts on the condenser to cool the condenser. The water vapor generated during the cooling is diffused into the air.

[0024] Water vapor continues to diffuse into the air, causing the ambient humidity to increase. When the ambient humidity exceeds the first numerical range, the first pipeline is connected and the second pipeline is disconnected. The condensed water flows into the first pipeline and is collected in the water storage tank. The water-pumping flywheel assembly stops, and the condenser is no longer water-cooled, thereby reducing the diffusion of water vapor into the air until the ambient humidity drops back to the first numerical range.

[0025] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the water outlet of the water storage tank is connected to the water trough, and a second control valve is provided between the water outlet and the water trough;

[0026] A water level sensor is provided in the water tank;

[0027] The control system controls the operation of the second control valve based on the signal of the water level sensor;

[0028] In this technology, the water level sensor and the second control valve are used to control the water tank to always keep water in it, while preventing water from overflowing the water tank and flowing out of the air conditioner, affecting its use, and preventing water from overflowing the water tank and flowing into the air conditioner, damaging internal components or affecting the life of internal components.

[0029] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the first control valve and the second control valve are solenoid valves. In this technology, the first control valve and the second control valve adopt a solenoid valve structure, which is simple in structure and easy to control.

[0030] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the evaporator assembly includes: an evaporator and a water receiving tank, the water receiving tank corresponds to the bottom of the evaporator and collects condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator; the water outlet end of the water receiving tank is provided with the first control valve; the specific implementation structure of the evaporator assembly is defined in this technology, and the first control valve can adopt a three-way solenoid valve, the first interface is connected to the water outlet end of the water receiving tank, the second interface is connected to the first pipeline, and the third interface is connected to the second pipeline to realize pipeline switching.

[0031] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the water outlet end of the second pipeline is directly opposite to the water-pumping flywheel assembly, so that the condensed water drips onto the water-pumping flywheel assembly; in this technology, the condensed water flows to the water-pumping flywheel assembly through the second pipeline, so that the condensed water can be atomized and thrown by the water-pumping flywheel, reducing the loss of cooling capacity and allowing the condenser to be better cooled; after the condensed water is heated, the water vapor diffuses into the air.

[0032] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the water outlet end of the second pipeline is facing the water trough, so that the condensed water drips into the water trough; in this technology, the condensed water directly drips into the water trough for use, and is thrown into the condenser by the water-pumping flywheel assembly in the water trough to cool the condenser. After the condensed water is heated, the water vapor diffuses into the air.

After the condensed water is heated, the water vapor diffuses into the air, and the condensed water that has not evaporated flows back into the water distribution tank.

[0034] The second aspect of the present invention further provides an air conditioner with adjustable humidity, comprising:

[0035] A refrigeration system having a condenser assembly and an evaporator assembly for exchanging heat with the air;

[0036] Spray system to atomize water;

[0037] Also includes:

[0038] A first pipeline, through which condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator assembly is discharged;

[0039] A second pipeline, through which condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator assembly flows to the spray system;

[0041] A sensor for sensing ambient humidity;

[0042] a control system for controlling the operation of the first control valve and the spray system based on a signal from the sensor;

[0043] In this technology, the air conditioner is a split-type air conditioner. When installed, the evaporator assembly is indoors and the condenser assembly is outdoors. When in use, the ambient humidity is detected by a sensor.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, which are simplified schematic diagrams that illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner.

[0050] Example 1:

[0051] The humidity-adjustable air conditioner, as shown in Figure 1-2, includes:

[0052] The refrigeration system includes a condenser assembly 100 and an evaporator assembly 200. The condenser assembly 100 can be cooled by water or by air. The evaporator assembly 200 mainly exchanges heat with the air to lower the air temperature, sending cool air to the user and keeping the environment at a comfortable temperature.

[0053] The circulating water system has a water trough 300, a water storage tank 400 and a water-pumping flywheel assembly 500. The water storage tank 400 can store condensed water or water injected from the outside. The water trough 300 has a certain water storage capacity. When the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 is running, the water in the water trough 300 is atomized and thrown onto the condenser assembly 100 to cool the condenser assembly 100 with water.

[0054] The air conditioner of Example 1 is an integrated mobile air conditioner. As shown in Figure 1, the evaporator assembly 200 is located above the condenser assembly 100, the water tank 300 is located at the bottom of the condenser assembly 100, and the water storage tank 400 is located next to the condenser assembly 100. Mobile air conditioners are easy to move and have a wide range of applications.

[0055] The condensed water produced by the evaporator assembly 200 can be used for water cooling of the condenser assembly 100. However, if the condenser assembly 100 is continuously subjected to water cooling, the condensed water will continue to evaporate into the air, causing the ambient humidity to be too high and the ambient comfort to be poor. Therefore, the present invention adds a first pipe 610 and a second pipe 620 to the air conditioner to allow the condensed water to flow to different locations.

[0056] The condensed water generated when the evaporator assembly 200 is in operation flows to the water storage tank 400 through the first pipe 610;

[0057] The condensed water generated when the evaporator assembly 200 is in operation flows through the second pipe 620 to the water pumping tank 300 or the water pumping flywheel assembly 500 or the condenser assembly 100;

[0058] The condensed water first flows through the first control valve 630 before flowing into the first pipeline 610 and the second pipeline 620 , and the flow direction of the condensed water is controlled by the first control valve 630 .

[0059] The air conditioner is also provided with a sensor 700, which is mainly used to sense the ambient humidity;

[0060] The air conditioner is also provided with a control system, which may be a combination of an electronic board and a control panel. The sensor 700, the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500, the condenser assembly 100, and the evaporator assembly 200 are all electrically connected to the control system.

[0061] The control system controls the operation of the first control valve 630 and the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 based on the signal from the sensor 700 .

[0062] Specifically, a first numerical range of ambient humidity is pre-set in the control system program. When the ambient humidity is within the first numerical range, the user feels good comfort. When the ambient humidity is greater than the first numerical range, the ambient humidity is too high and the user feels bad.

[0063] The first control valve 630 has a first state and a second state, wherein:

[0064] The sensor 700 detects that the ambient humidity is within a first numerical range. The control system controls the first control valve 630 to be in a first state, i.e., the first pipe 610 is disconnected and the second pipe 620 is connected, so that condensed water flows into the second pipe 620. The control system controls the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 to start. The condensed water acts on the condenser assembly 100, and the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 throws water on the condenser assembly 100, cooling the condenser assembly 100. Water vapor generated by the water absorbing heat diffuses into the environment, increasing the ambient humidity. The evaporator assembly 200 operates to cool and dry the air.

[0065] The sensor 700 detects that the ambient humidity exceeds the first numerical range, that is, is greater than the first numerical range. The control system controls the first control valve 630 to the second state, the first pipeline 610 is connected, and the second pipeline 620 is disconnected. The condensed water flows to the first pipeline 610 and finally flows into the water storage tank 400 to be collected and wait to be used; the control system controls the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 to stop; at this time, the condenser assembly 100 no longer performs water cooling, effectively reducing the diffusion of water vapor into the environment, and the evaporator assembly 200 runs to cool and dry the air, thereby reducing the ambient humidity.

[0066] In this way, the ambient humidity is detected by the sensor 700, so that the ambient humidity is controlled within the first value range, which makes the user feel more comfortable. Here, the ambient humidity mainly refers to the relative humidity of the environment.

[0067] Optionally, the first numerical range may be set to: 40%-70%.

[0068] Furthermore, the sensor 700 is a humidity sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor, as long as it can sense the ambient humidity.

[0069] In one embodiment, the water outlet of the water storage tank 400 is connected to the water trough 300, a second control valve 410 is provided between the water outlet and the water trough 300, and a water level sensor 310 is provided in the water trough 300; the control system controls the operation of the second control valve 410 based on the signal of the water level sensor.

[0070] Specifically, a set water level line is set in the water tank 300, and the set water level line can be a maximum water level line; the water level sensor 310 can be a water level probe or a water level switch.

[0071] When the water level in the water tank 300 does not reach the set water level line, the second control valve 410 is opened, and the water storage tank 400 supplies water to the water tank 300;

[0072] When the water level sensor 310 senses that the water level in the water tank 300 reaches the set water level line, it sends a signal to the control system. Based on the signal, the control system controls the second control valve 410 to close, and the water storage tank 400 no longer supplies water to the water tank 300.

[0073] By doing so, the water in the water tank 300 is effectively prevented from overflowing out of the air conditioner, and the water in the water tank 300 is prevented from overflowing and flowing toward other components of the air conditioner, thereby damaging the other components or reducing the service life of the other components.

[0074] The water tank 300 is located at the bottom of the condenser assembly 100 to recover water that has not been completely evaporated from the condenser assembly 100. Furthermore, the first control valve 630 and the second control valve 410 can be solenoid valves.

[0075] In one embodiment, the evaporator assembly 200 includes: an evaporator 210 and a water receiving tank 220, the water receiving tank 220 corresponding to the bottom of the evaporator 210 to collect condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator 210; the first control valve 630 is provided at the water outlet of the water receiving tank 220;

[0076] The first control valve 630 is a three-way solenoid valve. The first interface of the first control valve 630 is connected to the water outlet of the water tank 220, the second interface is connected to the first pipeline 610, and the third interface is connected to the second pipeline 620 to achieve pipeline switching.

[0077] In one embodiment, the water outlet end of the second pipe 620 is directly opposite to the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 , so that the condensed water drips onto the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 .

[0078] Specifically, a water-pumping gap is provided in the condenser 110 of the condenser assembly 100, and the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 includes a water-pumping flywheel and a motor. The motor controls the operation of the water-pumping flywheel, and the water outlet end of the second pipeline 620 is facing the water-pumping flywheel, so that the condensed water drips onto the water-pumping flywheel, and the condensed water is directly atomized and thrown to the condenser 110, thereby cooling the condenser 110 and directly using the condensed water to reduce the loss of cooling capacity and achieve a better cooling effect.

[0079] In one embodiment, the outlet end of the second pipe 620 is aligned with the water pumping tank 300 , so that the condensed water drips into the water pumping tank 300 ; after the condensed water drips into the water pumping tank 300 , it waits to be thrown into the condenser 110 by the water pumping flywheel assembly 500 .

[0080] In one embodiment, the condenser assembly 100 includes: a condenser 110 and a water distribution tank 120, the water distribution tank 120 is located above the condenser 110, the water distribution tank 120 matches the cross-sectional shape of the condenser 110, and the water distribution tank 120 is provided with a drain hole; the water outlet end of the second pipeline 620 is aligned with the water distribution tank 120, so that the condensed water drips into the water distribution tank 120 and drips into the condenser 110 through the drain hole, the condensed water drips into the condenser 110 and absorbs heat and evaporates, cooling the condenser 110, and the condensed water that is not evaporated drips into the water tank 300.

[0081] The air conditioner of this utility model is a mobile air conditioner that can adjust the ambient humidity. When adjusting:

[0082] The sensor 700 continuously monitors the environment, set to monitor once every five minutes. When the relative humidity of the environment is continuously detected three times within the first numerical range (40%-70%), the control system controls the first control valve 630 to the first state, disconnecting the first pipe 610 and connecting the second pipe 620. Condensed water flows through the second pipe 620 to the water pumping tank, the water pumping flywheel assembly, or the condenser assembly. The control system controls the water pumping flywheel assembly 500 to start, and the second control valve 410 of the water storage tank 400 normally supplies water to the water pumping tank 300. The water pumping flywheel assembly 500 pumps water to the condenser assembly 100 for cooling. The water is converted into water vapor and diffuses into the air, increasing the humidity in the environment.

[0083] After running for a certain period of time, the humidity in the room will increase, and the sensor 700 will continue to detect, once every 5 minutes. When it is continuously detected that the relative humidity of the environment exceeds the first numerical range for 3 times, that is, exceeds 70%, the control system controls the first control valve 630 to be in the second state, the first pipeline 610 is connected, and the second pipeline 620 is disconnected. The condensed water flows to the water storage tank 400 through the first pipeline 610, and the control system controls the water-pumping flywheel assembly 500 to stop. The water level sensor 800 detects that the water level in the water-pumping tank 300 reaches the set water level line. Based on the signal of the water level sensor 800, the control system controls the second control valve 410 to stop supplying water to the water-pumping tank 300, and the condenser assembly 100 stops water cooling, and stops generating water vapor. The relative humidity of the environment will not increase. At the same time, the evaporator assembly 200 performs heat exchange and needs to be continuously dehumidified, so the humidity of the environment will drop rapidly.

[0084] The sensor 700 continuously detects and is set to detect once every 5 minutes. When the relative humidity of the environment is detected three times in the first numerical range (40%-70%), the control system controls the first control valve 630 to switch to the first state, the water flywheel assembly 500 is started, and the condenser assembly 100 resumes water cooling, and the generated water vapor is diffused into the environment.

[0085] Through the above, the humidity of the environment can be adjusted to keep it in a comfortable range, giving users a better experience.

[0086] Example 2:

[0087] Compared with Example 1, the air conditioner in this embodiment is a split-type air conditioner, which also detects the indoor environmental humidity through a sensor, and the control system controls the condensed water to flow to the first pipeline or the second pipeline through the first control valve. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0088] An air conditioner with adjustable humidity, comprising:

[0089] A refrigeration system having a condenser assembly and an evaporator assembly for exchanging heat with the air;

[0090] Spray system to atomize water;

[0091] Also includes:

[0092] A first pipeline, through which condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator assembly is discharged;

[0093] A second pipeline, through which condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator assembly flows to the spray system;

[0094] a first control valve, controlling the condensate to flow to the first pipeline or the second pipeline;

[0095] A sensor for sensing ambient humidity;

[0096] The control system controls the first control valve and the spray system based on the signal from the sensor.

[0097] Specifically, the condenser assembly is installed outdoors, and the evaporator assembly is located indoors. It can be understood as a wall-mounted air conditioner, including an indoor unit and an outdoor unit. The evaporator assembly is installed in the indoor unit and is located indoors, and the condenser assembly is installed in the outdoor unit and is located outdoors.

[0098] The spray system is installed in the indoor unit and can be an atomizer;

[0099] The sensor may be a humidity sensor or a temperature and humidity sensor, as long as it can sense the indoor humidity.

[0100] The evaporator assembly includes an evaporator and a water receiving tank for collecting condensed water generated during the operation of the evaporator, and a first control valve is provided at the outlet end of the water receiving tank;

[0101] The first control valve may be a three-way solenoid valve, wherein the first interface of the first control valve is connected to the outlet end of the water tank, the second interface is connected to the first pipeline, and the third interface is connected to the second pipeline.

[0102] The water outlet end of the first pipeline extends outdoors and can be discharged directly to the outdoors, or discharged to a condenser assembly to dissipate heat from the condenser assembly through condensed water.

[0103] The water outlet end of the second pipeline is connected to the spray system.

[0104] During use, the ambient humidity is detected by the sensor. When the ambient humidity is within the set first value range, the second pipe is connected and the first pipe is disconnected. The condensed water flows to the spray system through the second pipe. The spray system atomizes the condensed water and sprays it into the air to increase the indoor humidity.

[0105] The spray system continues to operate, the indoor humidity continues to increase, and the sensor continues to detect the ambient humidity. When the ambient humidity exceeds the set first value range, the control system controls the first control valve to switch the state, so that the first pipe is connected and the second pipe is disconnected, and the condensed water is discharged through the first pipe, and can be discharged directly to the outside, or discharged to the outdoor condenser to cool the condenser; while the evaporator continues to operate, it cools and dries the air in the environment, so that the ambient humidity is reduced;

[0106] The ambient humidity continues to decrease, and the sensor continues to detect the ambient humidity. When the ambient humidity detected by the sensor is within the set first value range, the control system controls the first control valve again to connect the second pipeline and disconnect the first pipeline. The condensed water flows through the second pipeline to the spray system, and the spray system atomizes the condensed water and sprays it into the air, thereby increasing the indoor humidity.

[0107] This cycle can achieve the purpose of regulating the ambient humidity. During the use of the air conditioner, the relative humidity can always be controlled within the comfortable range, which can directly improve the user experience.

[0108] Of course, in this embodiment, the program can also be set to control the sensor to detect the ambient humidity once every 5 minutes. When the relative humidity of the environment detected by the sensor is within the first numerical range for three consecutive times, the condensed water is controlled to flow to the spray system through the second pipeline. The spray system atomizes the condensed water and sprays it into the air to increase the indoor humidity; when the relative humidity of the environment detected by the sensor exceeds the first numerical range for three consecutive times, the condensed water is controlled to be discharged to the outside through the first pipeline.

[0109] The above description of the disclosed embodiments will enable one skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
