Referring to fig. 1 to 9, the present invention provides a fresh air module and an embodiment of an air conditioner including the fresh air module. The air conditioner can be an air conditioner indoor unit or an air conditioner outdoor unit, and can also be an air conditioner complete machine comprising the air conditioner indoor unit and the air conditioner outdoor unit. Preferably, the new trend module is located in the air condensing units, directly to indoor new trend of carrying, avoids setting up new trend transmission channel between air condensing units and indoor, leads to new trend transmission channel overlength, and the windage is big and difficult the maintenance. The indoor unit of the air conditioner can be any one of a wall-mounted indoor unit of the air conditioner, a cabinet indoor unit of the air conditioner, an air machine, a ceiling indoor unit of the air conditioner or a mobile air conditioner. In the following embodiments, an air conditioner is mainly described as an example of a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and other types may be referred to for implementation.
In this embodiment, the air conditioner is a wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit, and the fresh air module is disposed at one end of the air conditioner indoor unit in the length direction. Therefore, the shape and the structure of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit are fully utilized, the fresh air module is added under the condition that the original structure of the wall-mounted air conditioner indoor unit is not influenced as much as possible, the production cost is low, and the appearance of the air conditioner indoor unit is attractive.
Referring to fig. 1 to 5, in an embodiment, the fresh air module includes a housing 10 and a fan assembly, the housing 10 is provided with an air inlet 102, an air outlet 103, and a fresh air duct 101 communicating the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103, the air inlet 102 is used for communicating with the fresh air pipeline 41, the air outlet 103 is used for communicating with a room, the fan assembly includes a motor 50 and a wind wheel 20, the wind wheel 20 is disposed in the fresh air duct, the wind wheel 20 is configured to drive an air flow to flow into the fresh air duct 101 from the air inlet 102 and flow out from the air outlet 103 when rotating forward, and to flow into the fresh air duct 101 from the air inlet 102 when rotating backward, and the motor 50 is configured to be drivingly connected to the wind wheel 20 to drive the wind wheel 20 to rotate forward or backward.
In this embodiment, the fresh air pipeline 41 is used for communicating with the outside, specifically, a hole may be formed in a wall body on which the air conditioner is installed, and the fresh air pipeline 41 is inserted into the hole to introduce outdoor fresh air into the casing 10, and flow into the fresh air duct 101 in the casing 10 from the air inlet 102, and then flow out from the air outlet 103 and send into the room. The fan subassembly in the new trend module provides drive power, and the drive air current flows. Specifically, the wind turbine assembly may include a motor 50 and a wind turbine 20, wherein the motor 50 is used for driving the wind turbine 20 to rotate, and the wind turbine rotates to drive the airflow to flow in a set flow direction. In this embodiment, the wind wheel 20 is configured to drive an airflow to flow into the fresh air duct 101 from the air inlet 102 and flow out from the air outlet 103 when the wind wheel rotates forward, and to drive an airflow to flow into the fresh air duct 101 from the air outlet 103 and flow out from the air inlet 102 when the wind wheel rotates backward. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the rotor 20 should be an axial flow rotor 20 or a vortex rotor, etc., and that the rotor 20 can reverse the direction of the airflow when reversed. The rotor 20, such as the centrifugal rotor 20 or the cross-flow rotor 20, which cannot realize the reverse flow of the airflow by reverse rotation, is out of the scope of the present application.
In this embodiment, the air conditioner is provided with a fresh air module for providing fresh air indoors, the air conditioner can have a fresh air mode or an air exhaust mode, and in the fresh air mode, the wind wheel 20 in the fresh air module is controlled to rotate positively, so that air flows along the directions of the air inlet 102, the fresh air duct 101 and the air outlet 103, and fresh outdoor air is conveyed indoors, and the indoor air quality is improved. In the air exhaust mode, the wind wheel 20 in the fresh air module is controlled to rotate reversely, so that the air flow can be driven to flow along the directions of the air outlet 103, the fresh air duct 101 and the air inlet 102, and the indoor air is conveyed to the outdoor. So, new trend module in this embodiment can realize new trend and two kinds of functions of airing exhaust to only need a wind wheel 20 just positive and negative to change between new trend and airing exhaust to realize, need not to set up wind wheel 20 or wind channel in addition in order to air exhaust, make new trend module overall structure simpler, occupation space is little.
The type of the rotor 20 can be designed as desired, and referring to fig. 3, preferably, the rotor 20 is a vortex rotor. Vortex wind wheel compares axial flow wind wheel 20, still has great wind pressure when the reversal, can realize airing exhaust effectively to vortex wind wheel still has the wind pressure big, and the advantage that compressive capacity is strong, even system's windage increase, vortex wind wheel still can keep higher rotational speed, and obvious fluctuation can not appear in the amount of wind and influence the new trend or the effect of airing exhaust. In this embodiment, the housing 10 includes a volute 115, the wind wheel 20 is disposed in the volute 115, and the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are disposed on the periphery of the volute 115, so that the fresh air module does not need to provide an air inlet cavity in the axial direction of the wind wheel 20, so that the whole structure of the fresh air module is more compact, and the thickness of the wind wheel 20 can be increased in a limited space to increase the air volume.
On the basis of the previous embodiment, referring to fig. 3 and 6, the inner wall of the volute 115 is circumferentially arranged around the wind wheel 20 to form a sealing section 111 and a working section 112, a distance L1 between the sealing section 111 and the wind wheel 20 of the inner wall of the volute 115 is smaller than a distance L2 between the working section 112 and the wind wheel 20 of the inner wall of the volute 115, and the air inlet 102, the sealing section 111, the air outlet 103 and the working section 112 are sequentially arranged along the circumferential direction of the volute 115. Because the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are both arranged in the circumferential direction of the vortex wind wheel, turbulence may be generated between the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103, which affects the flow direction of the air flow in the fresh air duct 101, resulting in the reduction of the air volume of the vortex wind wheel. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 are separated by the sealing section 111, so as to avoid turbulence and influence on the air volume. In this way, since the inner wall of the volute 115 of the sealing section 111 is in the fresh air duct 101, the airflow generally flows in the direction from the air inlet 102 to the working section 112 to the air outlet 103.
It will be appreciated that the sealing section 111 needs to have a certain length to effectively separate the intake opening 102 and the exhaust opening 103. If the setting range of the sealing section 111 is too small, the air flows of the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 affect each other, which results in a small and unstable air flow, and if the setting range of the sealing section 111 is too large, the whole volume of the air flow channel corresponding to the working section 112 is small, which affects the air volume of the vortex fan. Therefore, the sealing section 111 should be kept within a certain range to effectively isolate the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103 and provide the required air volume. Therefore, the central angle a corresponding to the sealing section 111 is in the range of more than or equal to 10 ° and less than or equal to 90 °, which can play a role of separating the air inlet and the air outlet 103, and enables the vortex wind wheel to provide acceptable air volume. In this embodiment, the range of the central angle a corresponding to the seal segment is preferably greater than or equal to 20 ° and less than or equal to 30 °, and in this range, the vortex wind wheel can provide the air intake volume and the air exhaust volume required by the fresh air module under the condition of forward and reverse rotation. It should be noted that the central angle a corresponding to the sealing segment 111 is measured as follows: referring to fig. 6, when the volute 115 and the wind wheel 20 are projected in a direction perpendicular to the wheel surface of the wind wheel 20, a first connection line is formed between the edge of the air inlet 102 close to the sealing section 111 and the central axis of the wind wheel 20, a second connection line is formed between the edge of the air outlet 103 close to the sealing section 111 and the central axis of the wind wheel 20, and an included angle between the first connection line and the second connection line is a central angle a corresponding to the sealing section 111 in this embodiment.
It will be appreciated that the spacing L1 between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the rotor 20 at the sealing section 111 and the spacing L2 between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the rotor 20 at the working section 112 should satisfy a certain size relationship to achieve the effect of guiding the airflow along the working section 112. If the distance L1 between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the wind wheel 20 at the sealing section 111 is too large, the sealing section 111 may not achieve the effect of sealing and isolating the air inlet 102 and the air outlet 103. In the present embodiment, the ratio of the distance L1 between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the rotor 20 at the sealing section 111 to the distance L2 between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the rotor 20 at the working section 112 is less than or equal to 0.5, and the distance L1 between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the rotor 20 at the sealing section 111 is less than or equal to 10 mm. Within this range, the airflow entering the fresh air duct 101 from the air inlet will flow along the working section 112 to the air outlet 103, and the wind wheel 20 can rotate smoothly in the volute 115. It should be noted that, the distance between the inner wall of the volute 115 and the rotor 20 at the sealing section 111 refers to the minimum clear distance between the outer edge of the rotor 20 and the inner wall of the volute 115 in the radial direction of the rotor 20.
The air in the outdoor environment usually carries impurities such as dust and bacteria, which is not good for the health of the user in the past. To this end, referring to fig. 3, in an embodiment, the fresh air module further includes a purifying device 30, and the purifying device 30 is disposed in the casing 10 for purifying the air flowing through the fresh air duct 101. It can be understood that the purification device 30 may be disposed in the fresh air duct 101, or disposed near the air inlet 102 or the air outlet 103 outside the fresh air duct 101, as long as the air flowing through the fresh air duct 101 can be purified. The structure of the purification device 30 can have various designs without limitation. Such as but not limited to: the purifying device 30 may be adapted to remove any one or more of dust, fine particulate matter, microorganisms, organic volatile gas such as formaldehyde, and other air pollutants in the air. The specific type of the purification device 30 can be selected according to its function, and the purification device 30 can be any one or combination of a common filter screen, a HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) screen, a formaldehyde remover and an IFD (internal-flow filtration device); and the filter screen can also be any one or combination of a plurality of primary filter screens, intermediate filter screens and high-efficiency filter screens. So, can realize purifying outdoor indoor new trend that flows in, be favorable to promoting the indoor air quality.
With reference to the first embodiment, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that in the fresh air state of the air conditioner, the wind wheel 20 rotates forward to drive the airflow from the outdoor to the indoor. At this time, the purification device 30 is required to work to realize the function of purifying the inflow air outside the room, so as to improve the quality of the indoor air. However, in the air-discharging state of the air conditioner, the wind wheel 20 rotates reversely, the driving airflow is discharged from the indoor to the outdoor, and the air flowing through the fresh air duct 101 does not need to be purified, and if the purifying device 30 keeps working in the air-discharging state, the wind resistance is large, the air-discharging speed is affected, the purifying device 30 itself has unnecessary work load, and the service life of the purifying device 30 is shortened.
