as shown in fig. 6, when the baffle 5 is located at the first position, the baffle 5 may separate the air inlet 14 from the space 23 between the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22;
as shown in fig. 8, when the baffle 5 is located at the second position, the baffle 5 may separate the space 24 outside the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22 from the air inlet 14.
In the cabinet air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the invention, since the baffle plate 5 can move between the first position and the second position, when the end of the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22, which are far away from each other, is upward, in the refrigeration state, as shown in fig. 6, the baffle plate 5 moves to the first position to separate the space 23 between the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22 from the air inlet 14, and at this time, the flow path of the air flow is as shown in fig. 4: under the action of the first fan 3, the air enters the space 24 outside the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 from the air inlet 14, passes through the evaporator 2 upwards, and then is blown to the upper air outlet 15 and blown out. In the heating state, as shown in fig. 8, the baffle 5 moves to the second position to separate the space 24 outside the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22 from the air inlet 14, and at this time, the flow path of the air flow is as shown in fig. 5: under the action of the second fan 4, the air enters a space 23 between the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 from the air inlet 14, passes through the evaporator 2 downwards, and then is blown to the lower air outlet 16 and is blown out. Thereby realizing the functions of upward air supply during refrigeration and downward air supply during heating, and improving the refrigeration effect. The structure can realize the switching of wind direction through the movement of a group of baffles 5, has simple structure and less parts, and can effectively save space and manufacturing cost.
It should be noted that, the space 24 outside the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 refers to a space 23 between the outer side surface of the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the inner wall of the middle air duct 12 opposite thereto, and a space 23 between the outer side surface of the second heat exchange plate body 22 and the inner wall of the middle air duct 12 opposite thereto, that is, the space 24 in fig. 4, respectively. The ends of the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 are close to each other, and the ends close to each other may be connected or not connected, and are not limited herein.
Wherein, the end of the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22 away from each other may be disposed near the upper air duct 11 or near the lower air duct 13. When the ends of the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22, which are far from each other, are close to the upper air duct 11, the space 23 between the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 is communicated with the upper air duct 11, and the space 24 outside the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 is communicated with the lower air duct 13. When the ends of the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22, which are far from each other, are close to the lower air duct 13, the space 23 between the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 is communicated with the lower air duct 13, and the space 24 outside the first heat exchange plate body 21 and the second heat exchange plate body 22 is communicated with the upper air duct 11. For example, when the evaporator 2 is of a V-shaped configuration, the opening of the V-shaped configuration may be both upward and downward.
In order to facilitate the implementation of the above-mentioned scheme, specifically, as shown in fig. 6 and 8, the housing 1 corresponding to the middle air duct 12 may be made into a hollow structure, and the hollow hole of the hollow structure is used as the air inlet 14, so when the baffle 5 is located at the first position, as shown in fig. 6, the baffle 5 seals the hollow hole corresponding to the space 23 between the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22, so that the hollow holes corresponding to the outer side surface of the first heat exchange plate 21 and the outer side surface of the second heat exchange plate 22 are opened; when the baffle 5 is located at the second position, as shown in fig. 8, the baffle 5 plugs the hollowed holes corresponding to the outer side surface of the first heat exchange plate 21 and the outer side surface of the second heat exchange plate 22, so that the hollowed holes corresponding to the space 23 between the first heat exchange plate 21 and the second heat exchange plate 22 are opened. Therefore, the switching between the connection and disconnection of each space divided by the middle air duct 12 and the air inlet 14 by the evaporator 2 is realized, and the structure is simple, fewer parts are adopted, and the realization is convenient.
It should be noted that, since the baffle 5 needs to plug the hollowed holes corresponding to the outer side surface of the first heat exchange plate 21 and the outer side surface of the second heat exchange plate 22, the baffle 5 may include two parts, namely, the first baffle part 51 and the second baffle part 52 in fig. 7 and 9. When the baffle 5 is located at the first position, as shown in fig. 6 and fig. 7, the first baffle portion 51 and the second baffle portion 52 respectively block the hollowed holes corresponding to the two ends of the space 23; when the baffle 5 is in the second position, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the first baffle portion 51 seals the hollowed holes corresponding to the outer surface of the first heat exchange plate 21, and the second baffle portion 52 seals the hollowed holes corresponding to the outer surface of the second heat exchange plate 22.
Wherein, the movement of the baffle 5 may be manual or automatic, and in order to facilitate controlling the movement of the baffle 5, preferably an automatic control mode is adopted, specifically, the baffle 5 is connected with a baffle driving assembly, and the baffle driving assembly may drive the baffle 5 to slide between the first position and the second position. Thereby, automatic control of the movement of the shutter 5 can be achieved.
The specific transmission mode of the baffle driving assembly can be various, for example, gear transmission, gear rack transmission or belt transmission, and the like, and the baffle driving assembly is not limited herein. Specifically, as shown in fig. 10, a rack-and-pinion transmission may be preferably used, and the barrier driving assembly 6 includes a barrier driving motor 61 fixed to the inside of the housing 1, a barrier driving gear 62 provided on an output shaft of the barrier driving motor 61, and a barrier driving rack 63 fixed to the barrier 5, the barrier driving gear 62 being engaged with the barrier driving rack 63. The output shaft of the baffle driving motor 61 rotates to drive the baffle driving gear 62 to rotate, thereby driving the baffle driving rack 63 and the baffle 5 to rotate. The baffle driving assembly has the advantages that the baffle driving assembly can meet the movement requirement of the baffle 5, and is stable in transmission, simple in structure and easy to realize.
The first baffle portion 51 and the second baffle portion 52 may be partially connected together or may be entirely separate. When the first barrier portion 51 and the second barrier portion 52 of the barrier 5 are of an integral structure, the barrier 5 can be driven by a set of barrier driving assemblies. When the first barrier portion 51 and the second barrier portion 52 are of a split structure, two sets of barrier driving assemblies may be provided to drive the first barrier portion 51 and the second barrier portion 52, respectively. At this time, the first baffle plate portion 51 and the second baffle plate portion 52 can be controlled independently, so that the control modes are more various, and different use requirements of users are met.
As shown in fig. 3, the side wall of the housing 1 corresponding to the middle air duct 12 is in a conical surface structure, the baffle driving rack is in a circular arc shape, the circle center of the baffle driving rack is located on the axis of the side wall of the housing 1, and the gaps between the baffle driving rack and the inner wall of the housing 1 are equal. Therefore, the baffle plate 5 can coaxially rotate relative to the side wall of the shell 1, so that the movement track of the baffle plate 5 is matched with the shape of the side wall of the shell 1, and the baffle plate is prevented from colliding with the side wall of the shell 1 during movement. In addition, the side wall of the shell 1 corresponding to the middle air duct 12 is of a conical surface structure, and the upper end of the conical surface structure is small, the lower end of the conical surface structure is large, so that dust and foreign matters can be prevented from accumulating at the air inlet 14, and the air inlet 14 is kept smooth.
Preferably, the shape of the baffle 5 may be adapted to the inner wall of the housing 1, i.e. the gap between the baffle 5 and the inner wall of the housing 1 is everywhere equal. Thereby, friction between the baffle 5 and the housing 1 can be prevented.
In order to increase the air supply range and realize 360-degree air supply along the horizontal direction, preferably, the side wall of the casing 1 corresponding to the upper air duct 11 comprises a first inner side wall and a first outer side wall, the upper air outlet 15 is arranged on the first inner side wall, the first outer side wall is in a hollow structure, the first inner side wall is connected with a first air outlet driving assembly 7, and the first air outlet driving assembly 7 can drive the first inner side wall to rotate; the casing 1 lateral wall that lower part wind channel 13 corresponds includes second inlayer lateral wall and second outer lateral wall, lower air outlet 16 set up in on the second inlayer lateral wall, the second outer lateral wall is hollow out construction, second inlayer lateral wall is connected with second wind gap drive assembly 8, second wind gap drive assembly 8 can drive the rotation of second inlayer lateral wall. Because the first outer cavity wall is hollow structure, when the first inner cavity wall rotates relative to the first outer cavity wall, the air can be blown out from different hollow holes of the first outer cavity wall, so that the large-angle horizontal rotary air supply of the upper air outlet 15 can be realized, and the large-angle horizontal rotary air supply of the lower air outlet 16 can also be realized.
The first tuyere driving assembly 7 may adopt various rotation driving modes, such as gear transmission, rack and pinion transmission, etc., which are not limited herein. Preferably, a rack-and-pinion transmission is optional, as shown in fig. 11, the first tuyere driving assembly 7 includes a first tuyere driving motor 71, a first tuyere driving gear 72 disposed on an output shaft of the first tuyere driving motor, and a first annular rack 73 fixed on a side wall of the first inner layer, the first tuyere driving gear 72 is meshed with the first annular rack 73, and a center of the first annular rack 73 is located on an axis of the side wall of the housing 1; the output shaft of the first air port driving motor 71 rotates to drive the first air port driving gear 72 to rotate, thereby driving the first annular rack 73 and the first inner side wall to rotate, and enabling the upper air outlet 15 on the first inner side wall to rotate for air supply. Likewise, the second air port driving assembly 8 may also be driven by a gear and a rack, where the second air port driving assembly 8 includes a second air port driving motor, a second air port driving gear disposed on an output shaft of the second air port driving motor, and a second annular rack fixed on a side wall of the second inner layer, the second air port driving gear is meshed with the second annular rack, and a center of the second annular rack is located on an axis of the side wall of the casing 1.
