A second embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning system, which is a further improvement of the first embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described include reference numerals and text descriptions, which are the same as those of the first embodiment, and are not described again here.
The second embodiment is a major improvement over the first embodiment in that, in the second embodiment of the present invention, as seen in fig. 6, an outlet grill 11d is provided at the outlet 11b, and the outlet air of the duct type indoor unit 1 is guided to a certain set angle or range by the air guiding function of the outlet grill 11d, so that the air flow effect in the room is improved, the temperature in the room is promoted to be uniform, and the set temperature can be reached as soon as possible.
The signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are both arranged on the outer surface of the air outlet grille 11d and are arranged on the outer surface, and the signal receiving and sending of the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are not affected by the metal shell 11.
Of course, the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 may be provided on the outer surface of the side wall 17 of the casing 11 as shown in fig. 7, and in the case where the signal receiving unit is provided on the outer surface of the side wall 17, the installation of the duct type indoor unit 1 can be prevented from being affected by the height direction.
Third embodiment
A third embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioning system, which is a further improvement of the first or second embodiment, and the parts that are not specifically described include reference numerals and text descriptions, which are the same as those of the first or second embodiment, and are not described again here.
The main improvement of the third embodiment over the first or second embodiment is that, in the third embodiment of the present invention, as seen in fig. 8, the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are both disposed inside the casing 11, and the wireless communication module is disposed inside the casing 11, so as to ensure the flatness of the outer surface of the casing 11, make no special requirements on the existing installation space, and avoid the influence on the normal installation of the duct type indoor unit 1 due to the disposition of the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4.
The casing 11 of the duct type indoor unit 1 is mostly made of metal, and signals of the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are easily shielded by the casing 11, which reduces transmission efficiency. To solve this problem, a signal window 11c is provided in the housing 11, and the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are both disposed close to the signal window 11c or in correspondence with the signal window 11 c. As shown in fig. 8, a signal window 11c is opened on one of the side walls 17 of the housing 11, and the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are both disposed on the bottom 14 and close to the side wall 17. The arrangement of the signal window 11c can reduce the shielding of the housing 11 to the signal, and the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 can better receive and transmit the signal, thereby improving the signal transmission efficiency.
The signal window 11c may be an opening (see fig. 8) or a plurality of hollow holes (see fig. 9) formed in the housing 11, or may be made of a material having a small electromagnetic wave shielding property, such as resin.
Preferably, the wireless communication module 4 is disposed close to the signal receiving unit 3, so that a connection between the wireless communication module 4 and the signal receiving unit 3 can be shortened, and the connection is more convenient.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit 21 is more affected by the obstacle than the wireless communication module 4, and therefore, the signal receiving unit 3 is disposed between the wireless communication module 4 and the signal window 11 c. The signal receiving unit 3 is arranged closer to the signal window 11c, which is beneficial to reducing the shielding effect of the shell 11 on the signal transmitted by the signal transmitting unit 21, and the signal transmitted by the remote controller 2 can be received by the signal receiving unit 3 more efficiently.
Of course, the wireless communication module 4 and the signal receiving unit 3 may be arranged in parallel with each other and parallel to the signal window 11c, or the wireless communication module 4 may be arranged closer to the signal window 11c than the receiving unit 31.
In other embodiments of the present invention, the signal window 11c may be the air inlet 11a or the air outlet 11b, and the signal receiving unit 3 and the wireless communication module 4 are disposed corresponding to the air inlet 11a or the air outlet 11 b.
The signal window 11c is formed by the air inlet 11a or the air outlet 11b, a channel for a signal to directly pass through can be formed by utilizing the self structure, no redundant opening is required to be formed on the shell 11, and the production process of the shell 11 is simplified.
It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the signal receiving unit 3 is provided separately from the wireless communication module 4, and in other embodiments of the present invention, the signal receiving unit 3 may be integrated on the wireless communication module 4.
It will be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the art that in the embodiments described above, numerous technical details are set forth in order to provide a better understanding of the present application. However, the technical solutions claimed in the claims of the present application can be basically implemented without these technical details and various changes and modifications based on the above-described embodiments. Accordingly, in actual practice, various changes in form and detail may be made to the above-described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
