In order to reduce noise, some of the air conditioning indoor units disclosed in the patent documents disclosed so far simply replace a fan with an ion wind device, however, the speed of the ion wind generated by the ion wind device is extremely limited, and the speed of the replaced air conditioning indoor unit is greatly reduced, which hardly meets the most basic use requirements of users. Due to the defects and impracticality of the existing technical solutions, the technology of blowing air by using ion wind has only remained on the most basic theoretical level.
In order to obtain a larger wind speed, the prior art generally adopts a mode of increasing voltage, however, in the process of increasing voltage, when the current value is increased to a certain degree, a spark discharge phenomenon occurs, the voltage between electrodes is rapidly reduced, and the wind speed of the ion wind is extremely weak or even no ion wind exists.

Referring to fig. 5 to 7, the discharge needles of each two adjacent discharge modules are arranged in a staggered manner in both the lateral direction (i.e., OY direction) and the vertical direction (i.e., OZ direction). Therefore, the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device can be uniformly distributed in the wind outlet surface of the ion wind generating device, 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. The air-conditioning indoor unit 1 of the invention is very suitable for users who have strong requirements on uniform air and soft air.
The following describes the technical solution of the present invention in detail by taking an example that the ion wind generating device 10 includes two discharge modules arranged in sequence.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 4, the number of the discharge modules may be two, that is, the front stage discharge module 100 located at the front side and the rear stage discharge module 200 located at the rear side. The front stage discharge module 100 has a metal mesh 110 and a plurality of discharge needles 120, and the rear stage discharge module 200 has a metal mesh 210 and a plurality of discharge needles 220. In the front view shown in fig. 5, the discharge needles 120 of the front stage discharge module 100 and the discharge needles 220 of the rear stage discharge module 200 are arranged in a staggered manner in both the OZ direction and the OY direction. In the side view shown in fig. 6, the discharge needles 120 of the front stage discharge module 100 and the discharge needles 220 of the rear stage discharge module 200 have a certain height difference, that is, the discharge needles 120 of the front stage discharge module 100 and the discharge needles 220 of the rear stage discharge module 200 are not at the same height position. In the plan view shown in fig. 7, the discharge needles 120 of the preceding stage discharge module 100 and the discharge needles 220 of the succeeding stage discharge module 200 are on different straight lines extending in the front-rear direction (i.e., parallel to the OX direction).
In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, the number of the discharge modules may also be three or more than three. The arrangement of the discharge needles of every two adjacent discharge modules is the same as that of the discharge needles of the preceding discharge module 100 and the subsequent discharge module 200, and the detailed description thereof is omitted.
In some embodiments of the present invention, each set of three adjacent discharge needle projections formed by the discharge needles of the plurality of discharge modules in the horizontal plane form an isosceles triangle, so as to ensure that the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 10 is distributed more uniformly. Also taking two discharge modules as an example, referring to fig. 7, projections formed in the horizontal plane by two adjacent discharge needles 120 of the front stage discharge module 100 and projections formed in the horizontal plane by discharge needles 220 adjacent to both of the two discharge needles 120 of the rear stage discharge module 200 (i.e., discharge needles 220 located between the two discharge needles 120 in the OY direction) form an isosceles triangle therebetween. Similarly, the projection formed in the horizontal plane by two adjacent discharge needles 220 of the rear-stage discharge module 200 forms an isosceles triangle with the projection formed in the horizontal plane by the discharge needle 120 of the front-stage discharge module 100 adjacent to the two discharge needles 220 (i.e., the discharge needle 120 located between the two discharge needles 220 in the OY direction).
In some embodiments of the present invention, each set of three adjacent discharge needle projections formed by the discharge needles of the plurality of discharge modules in the air outlet surface of the ion wind generating device 10 form an equilateral triangle, so as to ensure that the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 10 is distributed more uniformly. Also taking two discharge modules as an example, referring to fig. 5, the projection formed by two adjacent discharge needles 120 of the front stage discharge module 100 in the air outlet plane (i.e., the YOZ plane) of the ion wind generating device 10 and the projection formed by the discharge needle 220 of the rear stage discharge module 200 adjacent to both of the two discharge needles 120 (i.e., the discharge needle 220 located between the two discharge needles 120 in the OY direction) in the plane form an equilateral triangle. Likewise, the projection formed in the YOZ plane by two adjacent discharge needles 220 of the rear-stage discharge module 200 forms an equilateral triangle with the projection formed in the YOZ plane by the discharge needle 120 of the front-stage discharge module 100 adjacent to both the two discharge needles 220 (i.e., the discharge needle 120 located between the two discharge needles 220 in the OY direction).
In some embodiments of the present invention, the plurality of discharge needles of each discharge module are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the plane of the metal mesh of the discharge module, so as to ensure that each discharge needle and the corresponding metal mesh can generate a relatively obvious discharge phenomenon, thereby generating an ion wind with a relatively high intensity. The plane where the metal mesh is located is the air outlet surface of the ion wind generating device 10, that is, the YOZ plane in fig. 5.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the tips of the plurality of discharge needles of each discharge module are located in the same plane, so as to ensure that the intensity of the ion wind generated between each discharge needle and the corresponding metal mesh is the same, so that the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 10 as a whole is relatively uniform.
In order to increase the blowing speed of the ion wind generating apparatus 10, the designer of the present invention has performed a large number of wind speed measurement experiments, and as a result of the experiments, it was found that the distance L between the tip of each discharge needle and the metal mesh was set so as to satisfy L ═ aL1(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, L1To make the wind speed of the ion wind at the wind speed central point of the metal net reach the maximum wind speed VmaxDistance between tip of time-discharge needle and metal net, goldThe wind speed center point of the metal net is the projection point of the tip of the discharge needle on the metal net), on one hand, the wind speed of the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 10 can better meet the normal use requirement of a user, and on the other hand, the discharge needle can be partially overlapped in the area where the metal net generates effective ion wind to achieve the projection effect of the shadowless lamp, so that the ion wind distribution of the metal net is more uniform.
Further, in order to increase the amount of air supplied to the ion wind generating apparatus 10, the designer of the present invention has conducted a large number of experiments for measuring the projection radius of the tip, and as a result of the experiments, it was found that the distance R between the tips of two adjacent discharge needles is set so as to satisfy R ═ aR1(wherein, R1For the wind speed to reach the maximum wind speed VmaxB times the distance between the wind speed measurement point and the wind speed central point, wherein b is any constant in the range of 0.3-0.7, namely b can be 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6 or 0.7, and a is the same as above), the air volume of the ion wind generated by the ion wind generating device 10 can better meet the normal use requirements of users. Meanwhile, after the distance between two adjacent discharge needles is specially designed, the mutual offset of wind speeds caused by too close distance between two adjacent discharge needles can be avoided, and the reduction of wind volume and the uneven distribution of wind volume caused by too far distance between two discharge needles can be avoided.
It is emphasized that the maximum wind speed V is here referred tomaxAnd all reference wind speed values are the same on the premise that the voltage value between the discharge needle and the metal net is a constant value.
Therefore, the invention can enable the ion wind generating device 10 to generate uniform ion wind with larger wind quantity by reasonably designing the spatial position relationship between the discharge needles and the metal mesh and reasonably arranging the position relationship between a plurality of discharge needles, thereby improving the wind supply speed, the wind supply quantity and the wind supply efficiency of the indoor unit 1 of the air conditioner.

Referring to fig. 8, the discharge needle of each discharge module is electrically connected to a positive or negative polarity high voltage terminal, and the metal mesh of each discharge module is electrically connected to the ground terminal, so that a plurality of discharge modules are connected in parallel.
