In the embodiment shown in fig. 1, the ion wind generating device 10 includes three discharge modules 100 arranged in sequence along the air blowing direction thereof. Each discharge module 100 includes a mesh electrode 110 and an electrode beam 120. The mesh electrode 110 is arranged perpendicularly to the air blowing direction (see arrow P in fig. 1) of the ion wind generating device 10, and has a plurality of circular mesh holes 111. The electrode stringers 120 are disposed on one side of the mesh electrode 110 in parallel with the mesh electrode 110. Specifically, the electrode beams 120 may be disposed on the upstream side of the mesh electrode 110 in the air blowing direction of the ion wind generating device 10.
Further, a plurality of needle electrodes 121 are mounted on the electrode beam 120, and fig. 2 is a schematic structural view of a needle electrode and a mesh electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein a tip of each needle electrode 121 is directed to a center of a corresponding one of the mesh holes 111 of the mesh electrode 110.
As a result of intensive studies on the ion wind generating device 10, the designer of the present invention finds that the wind speed of the ion wind generating device 10 is related to various parameters, mainly including the length l of the needle electrode 121, the diameter D of the non-needle-tip portion of the needle electrode 121, the vertical distance G between the needle tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110, the mesh diameter D of the mesh electrode 110, the ratio between the vertical distance between the needle tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 and the mesh diameter of the mesh electrode 110, and the like. The ratio of the vertical distance between the needle tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 to the mesh diameter of the mesh electrode 110 is particularly important.
Therefore, the ion wind generating device 10 is tested for multiple times under multiple different high pressures, the test results and the problems in the test are summarized and analyzed, and finally, the ratio of the vertical distance between the needle point of the needle-shaped electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 to the diameter of the mesh 111 of the mesh electrode 110 is particularly designed to be any ratio value within the range of 0.1-0.3, so that the air outlet speed of the ion wind generating device 10 is high, and a good air outlet effect is obtained. For example, the ratio of the perpendicular distance of the tip of the needle electrode 121 from the mesh electrode 110 to the diameter of the mesh 111 may be 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25, or 0.30.
Fig. 3 to 7 are schematic diagrams of simulation results of the ion wind generating apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. Specifically, U in fig. 3 to 7aveThe maximum average wind speed at the wind outlet of the ion wind generating device 10 is shown, and G/D in fig. 3 represents the ratio of the vertical distance from the needle tip of the needle electrode 121 to the mesh electrode 110 to the diameter of the mesh 111. FIG. 3 shows the ratio G/D between the vertical distance G from the tip of the needle electrode 121 to the mesh electrode 110 and the diameter D of the mesh 111, and the maximum average outlet air speed U of the outlet of the ion wind generating device 10, when the diameter D of the mesh 111 takes five different valuesaveThe relationship between them. It can be found from the analysis of the figure that when the ratio G/D is in the range of 0.1-0.3, the maximum average air outlet speed U of the air outlet isaveThe value of (d) is higher. When the ratio G/D is more than 0.3, all the expressions show the maximum average air outlet speed U of the air outletaveThe size segments all fall off rapidly. Therefore, when the ratio G/D is within the range of 0.1-0.3, the ion wind generating device 10 can obtain a higher wind outlet speed.
Furthermore, when the ratio of the vertical distance between the needle tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 to the diameter of the mesh 111 is any ratio value in the range of 0.2 to 0.3, the effect is best, that is, the maximum average air outlet speed U of the air outlet is the maximum average air outlet speedaveThe highest value of (a).
D in FIG. 4 represents the diameter of the mesh 111, and V represents the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode stringer 12A voltage applied between 0. FIG. 4 shows the diameter of the mesh 111 and the maximum average outlet air speed U of the ion wind generating device 10 when the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120 takes five different voltage valuesaveThe relationship between them. As can be seen from the analysis in FIG. 4, when the diameter D of the mesh 111 is any length ranging from 20mm to 30mm, the maximum average outlet air speed U of the outlet is determinedaveThe value of (d) is higher. When the diameter D of the mesh 111 is less than 20mm, all the air outlets represent the maximum average air outlet speed UaveThe size segments all rise rapidly. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter D of the mesh 111 is preferably any length value ranging from 20 to 30 mm. For example, the mesh 111 diameter D may be 20mm, 21mm, 22mm, 23mm, 24mm, 25mm, 26mm, 27mm, 28mm, 29mm, or 30 mm.
Further, referring to fig. 4, the effect is best when the diameter D of the mesh 111 is 25 mm.
In fig. 5, G indicates the vertical distance of the tip of the needle electrode 121 from the mesh electrode 110, and V indicates the voltage applied between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120. Fig. 5 shows that when the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120 takes five different voltage values, the vertical distance G between the tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 and the maximum average outlet air speed U of the outlet of the ion wind generating device 10 areaveThe relationship between them. As can be seen from the analysis of FIG. 5, when the vertical distance G between the tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 is any length ranging from 2mm to 6mm, the maximum average air-out velocity U of the air outlet is determinedaveThe value of (d) is higher. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the vertical distance G between the tip of the needle electrode 121 and the mesh electrode 110 is preferably any length value in the range of 2-6 mm. For example, the vertical distance G of the tip of the needle electrode 121 from the mesh electrode 110 may be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or 6 mm.
Further, referring to fig. 5, the effect is best when the vertical distance G of the tip of the needle electrode 121 from the mesh electrode 110 is 3 mm.
In fig. 6,/, denotes the length of the needle electrode 121, and V denotes the voltage applied between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120. Shown in FIG. 6When the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120 takes five different voltage values, the length l of the needle electrode 121 and the maximum average outlet air speed U of the outlet of the ion wind generating device 10aveThe relationship between them. As can be seen from the analysis of FIG. 6, when the length l of the needle electrode 121 is any length value within the range of 2-6 mm, the maximum average air-out speed U of the air outlet is reachedaveThe value of (d) is higher. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the length l of the needle electrode 121 is preferably any length value in the range of 2 to 6 mm. For example, the length l of the needle electrode 121 may be 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, or 6 mm.
Further, referring to fig. 6, the effect is best when the length l of the needle electrode 121 is 3 mm.
D in fig. 7 represents the diameter of the section of the needle electrode 121 connected to its tip, and V represents the voltage applied between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120. Fig. 7 shows that when the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beam 120 takes five different voltage values, the diameter d of the section of the needle electrode 121 connected to the tip thereof and the maximum average outlet air speed U of the outlet of the ion wind generating device 10 areaveThe relationship between them. From the analysis in FIG. 7, it can be seen that when the diameter d is any length value within the range of 0.7-0.9 mm, the maximum average air-out speed U of the air outlet isaveThe value of (d) is higher. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the diameter d of the section of the needle electrode 121 connected to the tip thereof is preferably any length value ranging from 0.7 to 0.9 mm. For example, the diameter d of the section of the needle electrode 121 connected to its tip may be 0.70mm, 0.75mm, 0.80mm, 0.85mm, or 0.90 mm.
Further, referring to fig. 7, the effect is best when the diameter d of the section of the needle electrode 121 connected to its tip is 0.7 mm.
Fig. 8 is a schematic front view of an electrode stringer according to one embodiment of the present invention, fig. 9 is a schematic enlarged view of portion a in fig. 8, fig. 10 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along section line B-B in fig. 8, and fig. 11 is a schematic enlarged view of portion C in fig. 10. Furthermore, each electrode stringer 120 is provided with a plurality of pinholes 122, each pinhole 122 is provided with a needle-shaped electrode 121, and the tip of the needle-shaped electrode 121 points to the mesh-shaped electrode 110. Specifically, a lotus-shaped locking structure 123 protruding from the electrode beam 120 is disposed around each pinhole 122, the circumferential wall of the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 is disposed discontinuously, and gradually shrinks and closes from the surface of the electrode beam 120 toward the mesh-shaped electrode 110 until an opening 1231 with a predetermined size is formed at the top end of the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 (i.e., the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 is substantially in a lotus shape that is not fully opened), so that the needle-shaped electrode 121 can be detachably clamped into the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 and inserted into the pinhole 122.
Therefore, the needle electrode 121 can be clamped tightly through the lotus-shaped locking structure 123, so that the needle electrode 121 is positioned and fixed, the installation operation of the needle electrode 121 is simplified, meanwhile, when the needle electrode 121 needs to be replaced, the needle electrode is only required to be directly pulled out, and the disassembly operation of the needle electrode is simplified. Further, the peripheral wall of the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 is discontinuous, and compared with other locking mechanisms with continuous peripheral walls, the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 has stronger deformability and is less prone to breaking, and the smoothness of inserting and pulling the needle electrode 121 by a user is improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 may include a plurality of locking pieces 1232 disposed at intervals, and the locking pieces 1232 are uniformly distributed on the same hollow hemisphere, so as to ensure that the locking force applied to the needle electrode 121 from the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 is more balanced, thereby preventing the needle electrode 121 from tilting. At the same time, each locking tab 1232 can be made with a thickness to provide a suitable locking force and to facilitate deformation when subjected to external forces such as squeezing.
Further, the center of the hemisphere and the center of the pinhole 122 are located on the same straight line perpendicular to the electrode beam 120, so that the needle electrode 121 inserted into the pinhole 122 is concentric with the pinhole 122, and the needle electrode 121 is accurately positioned by the locking plates 1232, so that the needle point of the needle electrode 121 is ensured to generate a better discharge effect, more ions are generated, and the high-voltage ionization efficiency of the ion wind generating device 10 is improved.
In order to avoid the excessive number of locking pieces 1232 causing the needle electrode 121 to be hardly deformed and increasing the difficulty of mounting and dismounting, the number of locking pieces 1232 is selected to be four in a preferred embodiment. Moreover, the four locking plates 1232 are arranged symmetrically and oppositely, so that the locking action of the needle-shaped electrode 121 can be more balanced and stable by using fewer locking plates 1232.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the cross-section of the opening 1231 is circular, and the diameter of the opening 1231 is selected such that the ratio to the diameter of the pinhole 122 is any ratio in the range of 0.7 to 0.8. For example, the ratio between the diameter of the opening 1231 and the diameter of the pinhole 122 may be 0.70, 0.71, 0.72, 0.73, 0.74, 0.75, 0.76, 0.77, 0.78, 0.79, 0.80. Therefore, after the needle electrode 121 is clamped into the lotus-shaped locking structure 123, the plurality of locking plates 1232 can generate a proper clamping effect on the needle electrode 121, and the phenomenon that the clamping force is too large or the locking plates 1232 are irreversibly deformed or even broken due to too small openings 1231 is avoided. Preferably, the best results are obtained when the ratio between the diameter of the opening 1231 and the diameter of the pinhole 122 is 0.75.
It should be emphasized that the opening 1231 of the present invention means the opening at the top of the lotus-shaped locking structure 123 when the needle electrode 121 is not inserted into the lotus-shaped locking structure 123.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the top end of each locking tab 1232 has a curved surface 1232a facing the opening 1231 and extending in a direction perpendicular to the electrode stringer 120, the curved surfaces of the plurality of locking tabs 1232 are on the side of the same cylinder, and the opening 1231 is a cylindrical opening collectively defined by the curved surfaces of the plurality of locking tabs 1232.
Fig. 12 is a schematic perspective view of a discharge module according to still another embodiment of the present invention. In still other embodiments, an additional electrode plate 130 is disposed on a side of each electrode beam 120 facing the mesh electrode 110, and voltages are applied between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beams 120 and between the mesh electrode 110 and the additional electrode plate 130, wherein the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the electrode beams 120 is much greater than the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the additional electrode plate 130. Therefore, an independent electric field can be formed between the additional electrode plate 130 and the mesh electrode 110, and therefore, the voltage between the additional electrode plate 130 and the mesh electrode 110 only needs to be small to achieve an obvious effect of accelerating the electric field movement of ions between the additional electrode plate and the mesh electrode 110, and thus, the voltage between the electrode beam 120 and the mesh electrode 110 does not need to be large to achieve the purpose of high air outlet speed, and the overall air supply efficiency of the ion wind generating device 10 and the utilization rate of the device are improved. Meanwhile, because the voltage between the electrode beams 120 and the mesh electrode 110 is not very large, harmful substances such as ozone generated by high-voltage ionization are effectively reduced, and bad phenomena such as ignition and discharge are avoided.
In particular, the voltage between the mesh electrode 110 and the additional electrode plate 130 is in the order of volts, and may be, for example, between several volts and several tens of volts. The voltage between the electrode beams 120 and the mesh electrode 110 is kilovolt, for example, the value can be taken within the range of 5KV to 13KV, so that the generated air volume of the ion wind can meet the user requirement, and harmful substances generated due to high-voltage ionization can be avoided.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the additional electrode plate 130 is provided with a through hole at a position corresponding to each of the needle electrodes 121 of the electrode stringer 120, and each of the needle electrodes 121 is inserted into a corresponding one of the through holes. Therefore, the needle electrode 121 can be accurately limited through the through hole, and the needle electrode 121 is supported and protected to a certain extent. Meanwhile, after all the needle electrodes 121 on the electrode beam 120 are accurately limited, the electrode beam 120 can be prevented from deforming due to insufficient strength so as to influence the ionization process, and the strength requirement on the electrode beam 120 is reduced.
Further, the circumferential surface of each through-hole is provided with an insulating member to prevent electric leakage, discharge, and the like between the additional electrode plate 130 and the needle electrode 121. In particular, the insulating component may be an insulating layer attached to the circumferential surface of the through hole or an insulating material coated on the circumferential surface of the through hole, such as an insulating glue or other suitable insulating layer.
In some embodiments of the invention, the plurality of needle electrodes 121 of each electrode stringer 120 are arranged in a plurality of rows and columns on the electrode stringer 120. In every two adjacent rows of the needle-like electrodes 121, every adjacent three non-collinear needle-like electrodes 121 are arranged in an isosceles triangle (see the dashed-line triangle in fig. 8); in every two adjacent rows of needle electrodes 121, every three adjacent non-collinear needle electrodes are arranged in an isosceles triangle (see the dashed triangle in fig. 8) to avoid corona effect. Since the corona effect is a technique readily available to those skilled in the art, it will not be described in detail here.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the ion wind generating device 10 further includes a purifying module 140, and the purifying module 140 is located at a downstream side of the at least one discharging module 100 in an air blowing direction of the ion wind generating device 10 to purify the ion wind generated by the at least one discharging module 100.
The embodiment of the invention also provides an air conditioner indoor unit. Fig. 13 is a schematic structural exploded view of an air conditioning indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, in which the positive X-axis direction is directed to the front side of the air conditioning indoor unit, the positive Y-axis direction is directed to the right side of the indoor unit, and the positive Z-axis direction is directed above the indoor unit. The air conditioning indoor unit 1 of the present invention includes a casing 30 and at least one ion wind generating device 10 described in any one of the above embodiments. The casing 30 has at least one air blowing port 31 through which an air flow flows out, and the opening/closing mechanism 20 for rectifying the air blowing is provided to one or more air blowing ports 31 of the at least one air blowing port 31.
The at least one ion wind generating device 10 is disposed in the housing 30 to provide ion wind to one or more of the at least one wind blowing opening 31. The ion wind generating device 10 makes particles in the air obtain kinetic energy by means of electric field force, thereby forming ion wind. Compared with a rotary air supply assembly (such as a fan), the ion wind generating device 10 has the advantages of small pressure loss, low energy consumption, low noise and the like, so that the noise generated when the air conditioner indoor unit operates is reduced to a great extent.
Specifically, the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner further includes a heat exchanging device disposed in the cabinet 30, and configured to exchange heat with air flowing therethrough to change the temperature of the air. The indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner can independently drive air supply through the ion wind generating device 10, and can also drive air supply together with the matching of fan components. The ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 10 can be sent out after heat exchange by the heat exchange device, or can be directly sent out without heat exchange by the heat exchange device, and can be sent out after independently supplying air or mixing with air flow driven by a fan assembly.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the air blowing port 31 having the opening and closing mechanism 20 is circular. Each shutter mechanism 20 comprises a central shutter 21 and a plurality of curved blades 22. The central baffle 21 is fixedly provided at the center of the corresponding one of the air blowing ports 31, and an air outlet region is formed between the outer peripheral edge thereof and the inner peripheral edge of the corresponding one of the air blowing ports 31. For example, the central baffle 21 may be circular, and the corresponding outlet area is annular. In alternative embodiments of the present invention, the central baffle 21 may have other shapes such as a square shape, an oval shape, and the like.
The plurality of curved blades 22 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the central baffle 21, and the plurality of curved blades 22 are configured to be gathered toward the center of the central baffle 21 to at least partially open the wind outlet region, and to be fully gathered and contracted to the front side or the rear side of the central baffle 21. Therefore, when the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is shut down, the plurality of curved blades 22 are unfolded towards the edge of the air supply opening 31, the air outlet area can be completely sealed, external dust and impurities can be effectively prevented from entering the air duct, and the working effect of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is ensured. When the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is in operation, the plurality of curved blades 22 gather and contract towards the center of the central baffle 21 to fully open the air outlet area, so that air can be supplied by the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner.
Specifically, in some embodiments, the number of curved blades 22 may be 6 and are evenly disposed along the circumference of the central baffle 21. Preferably, the plurality of curved blades 22 can be completely gathered and contracted to the rear side of the central baffle 21, that is, when the plurality of curved blades 22 are in a completely gathered state, the central baffle 21 can shield the plurality of curved blades 22, and a user cannot observe the curved blades 22 from the outside of the air supply opening, so that the appearance of the air supply opening is more attractive. More importantly, the plurality of curved blades 22 can be completely folded to the rear side of the central baffle 21, so that additional air duct space is not occupied, and the space utilization rate inside the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is improved. The plurality of curved blades 22 may also be flared away from the center of the central baffle 21 to at least partially enclose the wind exit region. The plurality of curved blades 22 can be unfolded to completely cover the annular air outlet region, so that the air outlet can be completely closed.
Fig. 14 and 15 are schematic structural views of different orientations of the curved blade of the opening and closing mechanism according to one embodiment of the present invention, respectively. In the present embodiment, the curved blade 22 is approximately crescent shaped, having an outer contoured edge portion that is convex and an inner contoured edge portion that is concave. The inner peripheral edge portion is disposed toward the center of the central baffle 21 when the plurality of curved blades 22 are gathered, and accordingly, the outer peripheral edge portion may be directed toward the inner peripheral edge of the air blowing port 31 when the plurality of curved blades 22 are gathered. The outer and inner contoured edge portions together define the root and tip ends of the curved blade 22.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the outer contoured edge portion of each curved blade 22 comprises: a first circular arc shaped section 221 and a second circular arc shaped section 222. The inner contour edge portion includes: a third circular arc shaped section 223 and a fourth circular arc shaped section 224. The first and fourth circular arc-shaped sections 221, 224 are progressively closer towards the root end of the curved blade 22, such that the root end of the curved blade 22 forms a tapered curved region. The second and third circular arc-shaped sections 222, 223 are progressively closer towards the tip of the curved blade 22 so that the tip of the curved blade 22 also forms a tapered curved region. That is, the first circular arc-shaped section 221 and the fourth circular arc-shaped section 224 gradually approach in a direction toward the root end of the curved blade 22, so that the root end of the curved blade 22 forms a tapered curved region; the second arc-shaped section 222 and the third arc-shaped section 223 gradually approach in a direction directed toward the tip of the curved blade 22 so that the tip of the curved blade 22 forms a tapered curved region.
In some preferred embodiments of the present invention, the curvature of the first circular arc-shaped section 221 is equal to the curvature of the outer periphery of the central barrier 21. That is, when the plurality of curved blades 22 are completely gathered to the rear side of the central barrier 21, the first circular arc-shaped sections 221 of the plurality of curved blades 22 coincide with the outer peripheral edge of the central barrier 21. After the plurality of curved blades 22 are gathered, a partial region of each curved blade 22 is located between two adjacent curved blades 22 of the curved blade 22. The curvature of the second circular arc-shaped section 222 is equal to the curvature of the inner periphery of the air blowing port 31. That is, when the plurality of curved blades 22 are fully unfolded to cover the wind outlet region, the second arc-shaped sections 222 of the plurality of curved blades 22 overlap the inner periphery of the air blowing opening 31. By such design, the plurality of curved blades 22 can be completely folded to the rear side of the central baffle 21 or completely unfolded to shield the air outlet area, so that the appearance of the air supply opening 31 is more complete and beautiful.
In addition, the curvature and length of the third circular arc shaped section 223 are both equal to the curvature and length of the first circular arc shaped section 221. In this embodiment, when the plurality of curved blades 22 are completely unfolded to cover the air outlet region, the first arc-shaped section 221 and the third arc-shaped section of each of the two adjacent curved blades 22 are just spliced together, so that the plurality of curved blades 22 can completely cover the air outlet region, and meanwhile, the adjacent curved blades 22 are not overlapped as much as possible, so that the size of the curved blades is fully utilized, and the appearance of the air outlet is more complete and attractive.
In some embodiments of the invention, to facilitate the gathering and unfolding of the plurality of curved blades 22, each curved blade 22 is preferably rotatably disposed about its root end to either the front or rear side of the central bezel 21. Moreover, after the plurality of curved blades 22 are gathered, a partial region of each curved blade 22 is located between two adjacent curved blades 22 of the curved blade.
Further, the first arc-shaped section 221 further has a guiding flange 225 that is gradually higher from the root end adjacent to the curved blade 22 to the direction away from the root end, so as to guide the curved blades 22 in the front-rear direction of the indoor unit when the curved blades 22 are contracted or expanded, so that the curved blades 22 can be at least partially overlapped. This is so because during the collapsing of the plurality of curved blades 22, there may be mechanical interference between adjacent curved blades 22. The guide flange 225 is located at a lower position near the root end and a higher position away from the root end, and when the adjacent curved blades 22 are folded to overlap each other, the guide flange 225 can guide the adjacent blades to slightly move toward the rear side so that the adjacent curved blades 22 are staggered in the front-rear direction of the opening and closing mechanism 20 to prevent mechanical interference.
Thus, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described in detail herein, many other variations or modifications consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly determined or derived from the disclosure of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be understood and interpreted to cover all such other variations or modifications.
