Detailed Description
Fig. 1 is a schematic perspective view of an indoor unit 1 of an air conditioner according to an embodiment of the present invention. The indoor unit 1 may generally include a cabinet. The cabinet has an air inlet 22 at its upper portion and an air outlet 11 at its lower portion. The indoor unit 1 further includes at least two centrifugal fans and a heat exchanging apparatus 300 disposed in the casing. Each centrifugal fan has two air inlets respectively located at both lateral sides thereof and an air outlet located at a lower portion thereof to suck air from the air inlets 22 of the casing respectively and blow down to the air outlets 11. The heat exchanging device 300 may be disposed between the air inlet 22 and at least two centrifugal fans to separate the centrifugal fans from the air inlet 22 and exchange heat with air flowing to the centrifugal fans. In particular, at least two centrifugal fans are disposed in the casing side by side in the lateral direction at intervals, and are arranged such that adjacent two suction ports of adjacent two centrifugal fans are opposed.
That is, the inside of the shell is provided with at least two double-suction centrifugal fans with air inlets oppositely arranged. Specifically, the left and right impellers of each double-suction centrifugal fan are configured to be symmetrically arranged so as to ensure that the two sides of the centrifugal fan have the same air inlet quantity.
According to the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner, at least two centrifugal fans with bilateral symmetrical air suction are arranged, so that air is caused to flow into impellers uniformly from two sides of the centrifugal fans, axial loads on two lateral sides of each centrifugal fan are the same, axial force on the impellers is further eliminated, hidden danger of fan eccentricity is eliminated, and the service life of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner is prolonged.
Fig. 2 is a schematic exploded view of an air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the indoor unit 1 may be wall-mounted. Specifically, referring to fig. 2, the casing may include a frame 10, a casing 20 covered on the frame 10, and a panel 30 covered on the front side of the casing 20, where the panel 30 and the frame 10 together define an air outlet 11. The top of the housing 20 may be provided with an air inlet grill 21 to form an air inlet 22. The bottom of the panel 30 is rotatably provided with an air deflector 40 configured to controllably open or close the air outlet 11. Further, at least two centrifugal fans and heat exchange devices 300 may be provided on the skeleton 10. That is, the centrifugal fans arranged laterally and side by side do not affect the normal appearance of the wall-mounted indoor unit 1 when being mounted inside the wall-mounted indoor unit 1, so that the wall-mounted indoor unit 1 can keep the original small space occupation amount, and the whole indoor unit 1 is kept small and attractive.
Further, in some embodiments of the invention, the at least two centrifugal fans include a first centrifugal fan 100 and a second centrifugal fan 200. Specifically, the first centrifugal fan 100 may have a first cylinder 1010 disposed at the left side of the inside of the cabinet in a lateral direction, and the left and right sides of the first cylinder 1010 are respectively provided with a first suction port and a second suction port 1012, and the lower portion of the first cylinder 1010 is provided with a first discharge port 1013 to suck air from the air inlets 22 of the cabinet, respectively, and blow down to the air outlets 11. Accordingly, the second centrifugal fan 200 may have a second cylinder 2010 transversely disposed at the right side of the inside of the cabinet, and the second cylinder 2010 is provided at the left and right sides thereof with a third air suction port and a fourth air suction port 2012, respectively, and the second cylinder 2010 is provided at the lower portion thereof with a second air discharge port 2013 to suck air from the air inlets 22 of the cabinet, respectively, and blow down to the air outlets 11. The second air inlet 1012 and the third air inlet are arranged to be opposed to each other with a gap therebetween. Thus, the air entering the casing and flowing to the adjacent two air suction inlets of the two centrifugal fans can be sucked by the respective air suction inlets of the two centrifugal fans substantially equally, so that the second air suction inlet 1012 and the third air suction inlet have approximately equal air suction amounts, and the impeller stress balance and the normal and smooth operation of the first centrifugal fan 100 and the second centrifugal fan 200 are ensured.
Fig. 3 is a schematic perspective view of an air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention, in which a panel 30 is in an open state and a heat exchanging device 300 is omitted, showing a centrifugal fan installed in a cabinet. Fig. 4 is a schematic partial enlarged view of the air conditioner indoor unit 1 shown in fig. 3, in which the adjacencies of the first air outlet duct 1014 and the second air outlet duct 2014 are shown.
Referring to fig. 2-4, in some embodiments of the invention, the first centrifugal fan 100 has a first air outlet duct 1014 extending toward the air outlet 11 and diverging in a lateral direction, and the second centrifugal fan 200 has a second air outlet duct 2014 extending toward the air outlet 11 and diverging in a lateral direction and partially adjoining the first air outlet duct 1014. The first and second outlet air ducts 1014 and 2014 are configured such that the first and second outlet ports 1013 and 2013, respectively, at the extended ends thereof are located within the curved surface where the outlet 11 is located. In particular, referring to fig. 4, the duct edges of the adjacent sides of the first and second outlet ducts 1014, 2014 are configured to cross so that the first and second outlets 1013, 2013 form a seamless outlet face at the outlet 11.
Specifically, the two air outlet channels of the two centrifugal fans extend downwards from the impeller parts of the centrifugal fans respectively and are bent and extended forwards to the air outlet 11 of the indoor unit 1. That is, the fan volutes of the two centrifugal fans may be respectively configured as their respective air outlet ducts. Therefore, air pressurized and blown out from the centrifugal fan impeller flows to the air outlet 11 under the guidance of the volute of the fan, and the air outlet strength at the air outlet 11 is ensured.
Further, the two air outlet channels are configured to extend gradually in the lateral direction so as to abut at the air outlet 11. That is, the air outlet 11 of the indoor unit 1 may be directly constituted by the first and second air outlets 1013, 2013 of the first and second centrifugal fans 100, 200 that are in contact with each other. Specifically, the first and second outlet air ducts 1014 and 2014 have a relatively small cross-sectional area near their respective impeller portions and a large cross-sectional area near the outlet 11 such that the right side edge of the first outlet 1013 and the left side edge of the second outlet 2013 intersect.
Further, each exhaust port is configured such that its laterally extending edge near the bottom of the rear portion of the indoor unit 1 is shorter than its laterally extending edge near the front portion of the indoor unit 1. Thus, when the air-out airflow accelerates to flow downwards to the air outlet 11, the air-out airflow is promoted to diffuse forwards and upwards, the air-out area is increased, and the indoor unit 1 is prevented from directly blowing out air towards the front lower part of the indoor unit, so that discomfort of users in the area is avoided.
Further, the cross contact position of the two exhaust ports is approximately in an "X" shape, so that the exhaust ports are kept symmetrical, and the air outlet 11 has an air outlet area as large as possible when the air output and the air outlet position of the exhaust ports at the two sides are approximately equal.
The air outlet air duct of the inner side of the cross butt joint of the two air outlets of the indoor unit 1 is provided with an air duct wall which extends from the middle of each air outlet air duct to the other air outlet to guide air flow. Therefore, the independent air outlet channels of the centrifugal fans avoid the problem that heat exchange air flows blown out from the impeller parts of the two centrifugal fans interfere with each other in the shell to influence the air outlet speed. Meanwhile, the two heat exchange air flows can be further guided to be mixed after flowing out from the air outlet 11 and flow forwards together, so that a plurality of fan air outlets jointly form a continuous air outlet surface, the area of the air outlet 11 is increased, the air supply range is increased, and the motor power is reduced on the premise of realizing the same air outlet quantity.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner may further have more double suction centrifugal fans such as a third centrifugal fan and/or a fourth centrifugal fan. I.e. the interior of the indoor unit 1 may have three, four or more centrifugal fans arranged at a lateral interval. In particular, the third centrifugal fan may be arranged, for example, laterally outside, i.e. to the left (not shown in the figures), of the first centrifugal fan 100. Accordingly, the fourth centrifugal fan may be disposed, for example, laterally outside, i.e., to the right (not shown in the drawings) of the second centrifugal fan 200.
Further, the air inlet of the third centrifugal fan facing the first centrifugal fan 100 may be disposed opposite to the first air inlet, and the air inlet of the fourth centrifugal fan facing the second centrifugal fan 200 may be disposed opposite to the fourth air inlet 2012. Therefore, the indoor unit 1 can realize the air suction balance of a plurality of air suction ports of a plurality of centrifugal fans, thereby ensuring the stress balance and the normal and stable operation of the plurality of centrifugal fans.
Further, in the present embodiment, the adjacent position between the third centrifugal fan and the air outlet duct of the first centrifugal fan 100 and the adjacent position between the fourth centrifugal fan and the air outlet duct of the second centrifugal fan 200 may also be configured to be disposed in a crossing manner as described above, so as to increase the air outlet surface of the indoor unit 1.
In some embodiments of the invention, the first centrifugal fan 100 and the second centrifugal fan 200 may be configured to be independently controlled to supply air at the same or different wind speeds, respectively, or simultaneously. In other embodiments, each centrifugal fan may be configured to be controlled independently to adapt to different air output requirements, so as to enhance the practicability of the indoor unit 1.
Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view of an air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to still another embodiment of the present invention, in which a panel 30 is in an opened state, showing a heat exchanging apparatus 300 installed in a cabinet.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 5, the heat exchange device 300 may be configured to be disposed outside at least two centrifugal fans in a covering manner, so that air entering the casing from the air inlet 22 is sucked into the air inlet after flowing through the heat exchange device 300, and thus, air inside the casing needs to pass through the heat exchange device 300 before reaching the centrifugal fans, thereby ensuring effective heat exchange of the indoor unit 1.
Fig. 6 is a schematic front view of an air conditioner indoor unit 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 7 is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along section line A-A in fig. 6.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the heat exchanging device 300 has a first heat exchanging part 3010 and a second heat exchanging part 3020 arranged side by side in a lateral direction to cover the outside of the first centrifugal fan 100 and the second centrifugal fan 200, respectively.
Specifically, referring to fig. 5 to 7, the first and second heat exchanging parts 3010 and 3020 are each configured to have respective top, front and side heat exchanging surfaces to shield the top, front and left and right sides of the first and second centrifugal fans 100 and 200, respectively. Thus, the heat exchanging device 300 can cover the centrifugal fan from at least the front side, the upper side, and the left and right sides. Further, the top heat exchange surface is configured to have a size larger than that of the centrifugal fan in the front-rear direction. The top rear end of the heat exchange device 300 can be abutted against and connected to the framework 10, the bottom end of the front part of the heat exchange device 300 is flush with the bottom end of the panel 30, and is abutted against and connected to the outer side surface of the air outlet duct, so that the problem that air in the casing bypasses the heat exchange device 300 and is directly sucked by the centrifugal fan is avoided.
According to the indoor unit 1, through the split cover buckle type heat exchange device 300, a plurality of centrifugal fans are respectively provided with independent wrapped heat exchange structures, so that the heat exchange area is increased to the greatest extent, the distance between the heat exchange device and an air suction port of the fan is shortened, the wind resistance is reduced, and the heat exchange efficiency is improved.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the first heat exchanging portion 3010 and the second heat exchanging portion 3020 may be controlled to start and operate independently, so as to form an independent heat exchanging and air supplying subsystem with their respective centrifugal fans, thereby enhancing the practicality and flexibility of use of the indoor unit 1.
Fig. 8 is a schematic perspective view of a heat exchange device 300 according to one embodiment of the invention.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 8, the heat exchanging device has a plurality of heat exchanging pipes disposed at the top heat exchanging surface, the front heat exchanging surface, and the side heat exchanging surfaces, and the heat exchanging pipes at both lateral sides of the first and second heat exchanging parts 3010 and 3020 are denser than the heat exchanging pipes at the top and front of the first and second heat exchanging parts 3010 and 3020. Specifically, the four side heat exchange surfaces at the two lateral ends of each of the first heat exchange portion 3010 and the second heat exchange portion 3020 may be provided with more heat exchange pipes. Alternatively, the transverse ends of the top heat exchange surface and the front heat exchange surface of the two heat exchange parts can be provided with heat exchange pipelines which are densely distributed, and the middle positions of the top heat exchange surface and the front heat exchange surface can be provided with relatively fewer heat exchange pipelines. That is, the areas B of the first heat exchanging part 3010 and the second heat exchanging part 3020, which are respectively located at two lateral sides of the first centrifugal fan 100 and the second centrifugal fan 200, have denser heat exchanging pipelines, so as to exchange heat with the air having a relatively fast flow rate in the areas in time. Accordingly, the C region of the first heat exchanging portion 3010 and the second heat exchanging portion 3020, which are respectively located at the top front portions of the first centrifugal fan 100 and the second centrifugal fan 200, may have a relatively sparse heat exchanging pipeline, so as to avoid that cold or heat in the region cannot be timely conducted to air, which causes abnormal local temperature of the heat exchanging device 300, and malfunction. That is, the heat exchange device 300 may be configured to increase the distribution of heat exchange pipes in a region where the air flow rate is fast for the air flow state around the centrifugal fan, so as to further improve the heat exchange efficiency of the air inside the casing and ensure the normal operation of the indoor unit 1.
By now it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that while a number of exemplary embodiments of the invention have been shown and described herein in detail, many other variations or modifications of the invention consistent with the principles of the invention may be directly ascertained or inferred from the present disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
