Cold-Wind Table Cabinet With Integrated Refrigeration Airflow

Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional cooling devices like air conditioners and electric fans are limited to single functions and occupy space when not in use, lacking flexibility and efficient space utilization.

Innovation Solution

A cold wind table cabinet integrates a refrigeration device with a blower and refrigeration components into a compact table cabinet, allowing for both table use and cooling, with a control panel for flexible operation and efficient air flow management.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If air conditioners or electric fans are used for cooling, then cooling function is provided, but they occupy space and lack multi-functionality

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvemulti-functionalityVSAvoidspace occupation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSVolume of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines a refrigeration device with a table cabinet to create a multi-functional integrated unit. The refrigeration device includes a compressor, condenser, evaporator, and blower, all integrated within the table cabinet structure. This merging allows the same object to serve both as furniture (table cabinet) and as a cooling device (air conditioner), eliminating the need for separate standalone units and thus reducing space occupation while providing multi-functionality.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The table cabinet is designed with universal functionality by incorporating a complete refrigeration system. The device can operate as a table cabinet for storage and support functions, and simultaneously function as an air conditioner when the refrigeration components are activated. The blower can distribute cooled air through the table cabinet structure, providing cooling coverage in the surrounding area, thus making the object universally applicable for multiple purposes.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Temperature

If conventional air conditioners are used, then cooling is provided, but they are large in volume and difficult to move

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecooling performanceVSAvoidmobility

Core Design Contradiction:

TemperatureVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

By merging the refrigeration device with a table cabinet structure, the patent creates a compact integrated unit. The compressor, condenser, evaporator, and blower are all housed within the table cabinet framework, eliminating the need for large standalone air conditioner units. This integration maintains effective cooling performance while dramatically reducing the overall volume and improving mobility, as the unit can be easily moved by simply relocating the table cabinet.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Adaptability or versatility

If air conditioners are left unused when not needed for cooling, then space is occupied, but they cannot be used as table cabinets

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveusage flexibilityVSAvoidspace occupation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSArea of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The table cabinet is designed with universal functionality by incorporating a complete refrigeration system. The device can operate as a table cabinet for storage and support functions, and simultaneously function as an air conditioner when the refrigeration components are activated. The blower can distribute cooled air through the table cabinet structure, providing cooling coverage in the surrounding area, thus making the object universally applicable for multiple purposes.

AI summary

A cold wind table cabinet includes a main body, inside which a refrigeration device is configured. The refrigeration device includes a housing, blower, and refrigeration box, where refrigeration components are installed inside the refrigeration box. A blower air inlet is in communication with a housing air outlet, a refrigeration air inlet faces and is in communication with a blower air outlet, and a refrigeration air outlet a housing air outlet. Whereby, the present invention allows the table cabinet to have the function of selecting cold wind or natural wind to blow out, and especially, eliminates the configurations of an air fan or air pipe.
