Specifically, the intake vent 120 may be located at the top rear side of the cabinet 10. According to the invention, the air inlet 120 is arranged at the top of the machine shell, and the ion wind generating device 40 is arranged at the front side of the heat exchange device 20, so that the thickness of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 in the front-back direction can be reduced, the volume of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 during standing and working operation is reduced, the higher requirements of a user on the installation space and the use space of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 are met, and the overall appearance of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 is improved.
Further, the cabinet 10 may include a rear case 14 for constituting a rear portion thereof and a front panel 13 for constituting a front portion thereof. The rear case 14 has a body 141 extending vertically, and an upper edge 142 and a lower edge 143 bent and extending forward from upper and lower sides of the body 141, the intake vent 120 is formed at the upper edge 142 of the rear case 14, and the outlet vent 110 is formed at the lower edge 143 of the rear case 14.
The heat exchanging device 20 is disposed in the cabinet 10 and configured to exchange heat with air flowing therethrough to change the temperature of the air flowing therethrough into cold air or hot air. Specifically, the heat exchanging device 20 may include a flat plate evaporator to improve heat exchanging efficiency, and reduce the thickness of the indoor unit 1 in the front-rear direction, thereby reducing the volume of the indoor unit 1.

Meanwhile, the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device is not generated by pressure, but is a soft wind close to nature generated by electric field force, so that the comfort level of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 can be improved. In addition, since the ion wind is formed by a high-voltage electric field, it has the function of sterilizing and decomposing harmful gas pollutants with high efficiency.

The following describes the technical solution of the present invention in detail by taking an example that the ion wind generating device 40 includes two discharge modules arranged in sequence. Fig. 5 is a schematic plan view of a pin grid layout of an ion wind generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 6 is a schematic side view of a pin grid layout of an ion wind generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 7 is a schematic front view of a pin grid layout of an ion wind generating device according to an embodiment of the present invention. For convenience of description and understanding of the technical solution of the present invention, directional coordinates are given in fig. 5 to 7, wherein the OX direction denotes a vertical direction, and the direction indicated by the OX arrow is downward and the direction indicated by the arrow facing away from the OX arrow is upward; the OY direction represents a lateral direction; the OZ direction represents the anterior-posterior direction, with the OZ arrow pointing in the anterior direction and the direction pointing away from the OZ arrow pointing in the posterior direction.
Referring to fig. 4 to 7, in some embodiments of the present invention, the number of the discharge modules may be two, which are a front-stage discharge module 410 located at the front side in the air outlet direction of the ion wind generating device 40 and a rear-stage discharge module 420 located at the rear side in the air outlet direction. The pre-discharge module 410 has a mesh electrode 411 and a plurality of needle electrodes 412, and the post-discharge module 420 has a mesh electrode 421 and a plurality of needle electrodes 422. In the top view shown in fig. 5, the needle electrodes 412 of the front stage discharge module 410 and the needle electrodes 422 of the rear stage discharge module 420 are arranged in a staggered manner in both the OZ direction and the OY direction. In the side view shown in fig. 6, the needle electrodes 412 of the front stage discharge module 410 and the needle electrodes 422 of the rear stage discharge module 420 have a certain height difference, that is, the needle electrodes 412 of the front stage discharge module 410 and the needle electrodes 422 of the rear stage discharge module 420 are not at the same height position. In the front view shown in fig. 7, the needle electrodes 412 of the front stage discharge module 410 and the needle electrodes 422 of the rear stage discharge module 420 are on different straight lines extending in the front-rear direction (i.e., parallel to the OX direction).
Therefore, the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 40 can be uniformly distributed in the wind outlet surface, so that soft, uniform and large-wind-volume air supply can be realized under the conditions of low voltage, low electric field intensity and low power. It is emphasized that references to a plurality in embodiments of the present invention mean two, three or more than three. Specifically, the mesh electrode may be a metal mesh having square holes, diamond holes, circular holes, or other shaped through holes. The needle electrode may be a discharge needle made of a metal material, and has a discharge tip, and the discharge tip may be directed to the center of a through hole of the mesh electrode.
The air-conditioning indoor unit 1 of the invention originally improves the ion wind supply technology staying on the theoretical level for a long time by specially designing and reasonably arranging the structures and positions of the air inlet, the air outlet, the heat exchange device and the ion wind generating device, thereby simultaneously solving the technical problems of small air supply quantity, low wind speed, high noise, poor experience effect, poor appearance effect and the like in the prior art by using a simple structure. Meanwhile, the technical scheme of the invention has better realizability and economic value, is an innovation of the air supply form of the air conditioner and has better popularization value.
In order to increase the blowing speed of the ion wind generating device 40, the designer of the present invention performed a large number of wind speed measurement experiments, and found that the distance L between the tip of each needle electrode and the mesh electrode was set so as to satisfy L = a L1(wherein a is any constant in the range of 0.7-1.3, i.e. a can be 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3, L1So that the wind speed of the ion wind at the wind speed central point of the mesh electrode reaches the maximum wind speed VmaxThe distance between the tip of the needle-shaped electrode and the mesh electrode, and the wind speed center point of the mesh electrode is the projection point of the tip of the needle-shaped electrode on the mesh electrode), on one hand, the wind speed of the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 40 can better meet the normal use requirement of the user, and on the other hand, the needle-shaped electrode can be ensured to generate effective ion wind on the mesh electrodeThe ion wind distribution of the mesh electrode is more uniform due to the fact that the ion wind can be partially overlapped in the area to achieve the effect of shadowless lamp projection.
Further, in order to increase the amount of air supplied from the ion wind generating device 40, the designer of the present invention has conducted a large number of experiments for measuring the projection radius of the needle tip, and as a result of the experiments, it was found that the distance R between the tips of the two adjacent needle electrodes was set so as to satisfy R = aR1(wherein, R1For the wind speed to reach the maximum wind speed VmaxB is a constant in a range of 0.3-0.7, that is, b can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 or 0.7, and a is the same as above), the volume of the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 40 can better meet the normal use requirements of users. Meanwhile, after the distance between two adjacent needle electrodes is specially designed, the mutual offset of wind speeds caused by too close distance between two adjacent needle electrodes can be avoided, and the reduction of wind volume and the uneven distribution of wind volume caused by too far distance between two needle electrodes can be avoided.
It is emphasized that the maximum wind speed V is here referred tomaxAll reference wind speed values are given on the premise that the voltage value between the needle electrode and the mesh electrode is constant.
Therefore, the invention can ensure that the ion wind generating device 40 can generate uniform ion wind with larger wind quantity by reasonably designing the spatial position relationship between the needle electrodes and the mesh electrodes and reasonably distributing the position relationship among a plurality of needle electrodes, thereby improving the wind speed, the wind quantity and the wind efficiency of the ion wind generating device 40.
In some embodiments of the present invention, projections of each group of three needle electrodes adjacent to each other formed by the needle electrodes of the plurality of discharge modules in a horizontal plane (i.e., the air outlet surface of the ion wind generating device 40) form an equilateral triangle, so as to ensure that the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 40 is distributed more uniformly. Also taking two discharge modules as an example, referring to fig. 5, the projection formed in the horizontal plane by two adjacent needle electrodes 412 of the front discharge module 410 and the projection formed in the horizontal plane by the needle electrode 422 of the rear discharge module 420 adjacent to both needle electrodes 412 (i.e., the needle electrode 422 located between the two needle electrodes 412 in the OY direction) form an equilateral triangle. Similarly, the projection formed in the horizontal plane by two adjacent needle electrodes 422 of the later-stage discharge module 420 forms an equilateral triangle with the projection formed in the horizontal plane by the needle electrode 412 of the earlier-stage discharge module 410 adjacent to both of the two needle electrodes 422 (i.e., the needle electrode 412 located between the two needle electrodes 422 in the OY direction).
In some embodiments of the present invention, projections of each group of three needle electrodes adjacent to each other formed by the needle electrodes of the plurality of discharge modules in a vertically disposed and laterally extending plane (i.e., XOY plane) form an isosceles triangle, so as to ensure that the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 40 is distributed uniformly. Also taking two discharge modules as an example, referring to fig. 7, the projection formed in the XOY plane by two adjacent needle electrodes 412 of the front discharge module 410 and the projection formed in the XOY plane by the needle electrode 422 of the rear discharge module 420 adjacent to both needle electrodes 412 (i.e., the needle electrode 422 located between the two needle electrodes 412 in the OY direction) form an isosceles triangle between them. Similarly, the projection of the two adjacent needle electrodes 422 of the later-stage discharge module 420 in the XOY plane forms an isosceles triangle with the projection of the needle electrode 412 of the earlier-stage discharge module 410 adjacent to both needle electrodes 422 (i.e., the needle electrode 412 located between the two needle electrodes 422 in the OY direction) in the XOY plane.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of needle electrodes of each discharge module are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of the mesh electrodes of the discharge module, so as to ensure that each needle electrode and the corresponding mesh electrode can generate a relatively obvious discharge phenomenon, thereby generating an ion wind with a relatively high intensity.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the tips of the plurality of needle electrodes of each discharge module are located in the same plane, so as to ensure that the intensity of the ion wind generated between each needle electrode and the corresponding mesh electrode is the same, so that the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 40 as a whole is relatively uniform.

Referring to fig. 8, the needle electrode of each discharge module is electrically connected to a positive or negative polarity high voltage terminal, and the mesh electrode of each discharge module is electrically connected to a ground terminal, so that a plurality of discharge modules are connected in parallel. That is, the ion wind generating device 40 of the embodiment shown in fig. 8 is a parallel type multistage ion wind blowing device.

Taking pre-stage discharge module 410 as an example, it further includes a plurality of conductive rods 413. The plurality of needle electrodes 412 of pre-discharge module 410 are uniformly distributed on the side of conductive rod 413 facing mesh electrode 411 of pre-discharge module 410. Specifically, in one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of needle electrodes 412 may be distributed on the lower side of the mesh electrode 411. Each discharge module further includes a housing, also exemplified as pre-stage discharge module 410, including a housing 414, the housing 414 having at least four peripheral walls, and an upper portion of the housing 414 being hollowed out or provided with vents to allow air to flow into the interior of the housing 414.
Further, each of the conductive rods 413 has an insulating protective layer formed on the outside thereof and a conductive layer formed on the inside thereof, which is electrically connected to the needle electrodes 412 distributed on the conductive rod. Therefore, the conducting layer can be prevented from being exposed to the outside, and the phenomenon of random discharge or ignition can be avoided.
In some embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of pinholes for installing the needle electrodes 412 are opened on a side of each conductive rod 413 facing the mesh electrode 411, and a filling layer filled by a welding process is disposed around the needle electrodes 412. Therefore, the needle electrode 412 can be further ensured to be well electrically connected with the conductive layer in the conductive rod 413, and the conductive layer can be further prevented from being exposed to the outside, so that the phenomena of random discharge or sparking can be avoided. In particular, the size of the needle may be slightly smaller than the size of the needle electrode so that the two are secured together by way of an interference fit.
Fig. 10 is a schematic sectional view taken along sectional line a-a in fig. 2. In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 10, the ion wind generating device 40 further includes a bottom wind guiding channel 430 for guiding the air to flow to the wind outlet 110, and the bottom wind guiding channel 430 extends from top to bottom forward to a bent portion and then vertically downward to the wind outlet 110, so that the wind outlet 110 blows air under a horizontal plane where the wind outlet is located and forms an angle of 0 to 85 ° with the horizontal plane. Specifically, after being guided by the bottom air guiding passage 430, the air blowing opening 110 can blow air in the area between the dotted line m and the dotted line n in fig. 10, where the curved arrow between the dotted line m and the dotted line n is the approximate flow direction of the air flow. Therefore, when the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 heats, the air outlet 110 can blow down hot air which forms an angle of 85 degrees with the horizontal plane, thereby overcoming the technical problems that the hot air is easy to rise and is difficult to blow down.
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.
