Description

Water baffle assembly and combined air conditioner with same

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, in particular to a water baffle assembly and a combined air conditioner with the same.

Background

The combined air conditioner is an air treatment device assembled by a plurality of air treatment functional sections, has the functions of filtering, cooling, purifying and sterilizing air and the like, and is widely applied to occasions such as factory buildings, hospitals, markets and the like. A combined air conditioner is generally provided with an air intake section, a filtering section, a surface cooling section, a fan section, and the like. Wherein, the surface cooling section generally comprises a surface cooler and a water baffle. The surface air cooler is an important part of the combined air conditioner, and the working principle of the surface air cooler is that a heating medium (such as steam or hot water) or a cooling medium (such as R32) flows through a metal bent pipe so as to exchange heat with air flowing through the outer wall of the metal bent pipe, and the purpose of heating or cooling the air is achieved. When the combined air conditioner is in a refrigerating working condition, part of water vapor in the air is converted into condensed water when flowing across the surface of the surface cooler. Therefore, a water baffle is usually installed on the air outlet side of the surface air cooler, especially when the air outlet volume of the combined air conditioner is large. The water guard may effectively block the condensed water so that it can be discharged out of the cabinet along the water guard without being blown into other parts (e.g., a ventilation duct) of the combined air conditioner.

The prior art breakwater generally includes a fixed frame and a plurality of breakwater blades disposed within the fixed frame. In order to improve the efficiency of the water baffle for blocking the condensed water, the water baffle blade is usually configured to have a wave structure (for example, a water baffle device of an air conditioning unit disclosed in chinese utility model CN 205227737U). Therefore, the water baffle inevitably generates more stains in the long-term use process, is easy to breed bacteria, and needs to be cleaned, maintained and replaced regularly. However, the water baffle is not easily disassembled because the fixing frame is usually fixed on the surface cooler by welding or screw fastening. In addition, the integral volume of the water baffle is large, and the space in the combined air conditioner is limited, so that the disassembly and the assembly of the water baffle can be completed only by disassembling the machine at times, and the water baffle is very inconvenient. Part breakwater adopts metal material such as stainless steel, aluminum alloy, galvanized sheet to make, and weight is heavier, has further increased the dismouting degree of difficulty.

Accordingly, there is a need in the art for a new solution to the above problems.

Wherein, function section A is the air inlet section, and function section B is the filter segment, and function section C is the cold section of table, and function section D is the air-out section. Alternatively, other suitable functional sections, such as a sterilization section, a sound attenuation section, etc., may be provided on the combined air conditioner 1 to provide the combined air conditioner 1 with more functions.

As shown in fig. 1, an air inlet 11 is disposed at the air inlet section a. The intake vent 11 is configured to communicate with the outdoor to introduce air into the outdoor environment. In one or more embodiments, a first access door 12 is disposed on the air intake section a, so as to facilitate entering the box 10 from the first access door 12 for detection, maintenance, cleaning, and the like. In one or more embodiments, a return air section (not shown) for introducing indoor air is further disposed near the air intake section a, and a return air inlet (not shown) is disposed on the return air section to improve the energy efficiency ratio of the combined air conditioner 1, thereby saving energy. The filter section B is located downstream of the air intake section a, and a filter assembly 13 is provided in the filter section B. The filter assembly 13 may be a primary or intermediate filter to filter air entering the housing 10 from the air inlet 11. The surface cooling section C is positioned at the downstream of the filtering section B and comprises a surface cooler 14 and a water baffle plate assembly 15. In one or more embodiments, a second access door 16 is further provided at the surface cooling section C to facilitate access into the box 10 through the second access door 16, so as to perform operations of inspection, maintenance, cleaning, and the like on the surface cooler 14 and the water baffle assembly 15. The air outlet section D is positioned at the downstream of the surface cooling section C and is provided with a fan 17. The fan 17 includes a motor 171 and an impeller 172 connected to a drive shaft (not shown) of the motor 171. The motor 171 drives the impeller 172 to rotate, so that outdoor air is sucked into the cabinet 10 from the intake opening 11. And an air outlet 18 is also arranged at the tail end of the air outlet section D. The outlet vents 18 are arranged in air communication with the fan 17 and with the room via an air duct (not shown).

In one or more embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the surface cooler 14 is a serpentine coil surface cooler 14. Alternatively, the surface cooler 14 may be a riser, cross-tube, or other suitable surface cooler. Taking a serpentine coil type surface cooler as an example, the surface cooler 14 includes an inlet pipe 143, an outlet pipe 144, a plurality of heat exchange pipes 145 spaced apart from and parallel to each other, and a surface cooler fixing plate 146. The inlet pipe 143 and the outlet pipe 144 are respectively brought into communication with the heat exchange tubes 14 through a header or a distributor (not shown in the drawings). The surface cooler fixing plate 146 includes an upper surface cooler protective plate 146a, a lower surface cooler protective plate 146b, a left surface cooler tube plate 146c, and a right surface cooler tube plate 146d which are interconnected to define a substantially rectangular-shaped containable space such that all the heat exchange tubes 143 are confined within the containable space. Heating or cooling media (not shown) are provided to enter the heat exchange tubes 145 through the inlet tubes 143, exchange heat with air flowing through the outer wall of the surface air cooler 14 therein, and then exit the surface air cooler 14 through the outlet tubes 144.

Fig. 11 is a perspective view illustrating a water guard plate of a water guard plate assembly according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 11, the second short side 1411 and the second long side 1412 are configured as 3 portions spaced apart from each other and extending in the vertical direction. Alternatively, second short side 1411 and second long side 1412 may be configured in other suitable portions more or less than 3. The first and second catching

portions

3131 and 3141 of each water guard 153 may be configured to have the same structure in order to simplify the manufacturing process; different structures can be adopted, and the adjacent water baffles 153 can be clamped with each other as long as the structures can be matched with each other. As shown in fig. 13, the left and right adjacent water baffles 153 can be interlocked by the second snap-in portion 3141 of the left water baffle 153 and the first snap-in portion 3131 of the right water baffle 153. It can be understood that the plurality of water deflectors 153 can be easily fixed together by being sequentially snapped by the first and

second snap portions

3131 and 3141 in cooperation with each other.

When the user uses the water guard assembly 15, a water guard 153 with a proper specification can be selected according to the actual size of the surface cooler 14. The water baffle assembly 15 which can be matched with the actual surface cooler 14 is obtained by mutually clamping the water baffles 153. It will be appreciated that the assembly requirements can be conveniently met by selecting different sizes of water baffles 153. In special cases, for example, the existing water baffles 153 cannot be combined to have a required size, or the actual surface air cooler 14 is irregular in shape, or a small number of water baffles with non-standard sizes can be customized and combined with the existing modular water baffles 153 for use, so that the actual requirements can be met, and the customization cost is greatly reduced.

When the user is assembling the splash plate assembly 15, the frame 151 may be first mounted to the surface cooler mounting plate 146 on the air outlet side 142 of the surface cooler 14, and one or more slide members 152 may be mounted in place between the left frame 1513 and the right frame 1514. Each water guard 153 is inserted into the accommodation space 1515 of the outer frame 151 through an opening provided on the left outer frame 1513 and/or the right outer frame 1514. The two adjacent water baffles 153 are mutually clamped and interlocked by the second clamping portion 3141 and the first clamping portion 3131 on the adjacent water baffle 152. The water guard plate 153 can be conveniently slid in the accommodation space 1515 by the upper frame slide 5112 of the upper frame 1511, the upper side slide 1522 and the lower side slide 1523 of the slide member 152, and the lower frame slide 5122 of the lower frame 1512. After the assembling of the water guard 153 is completed, the cover plate 5133 is fixed to a corresponding position of the outer frame 151 to close the opening 5132, thereby completing the assembling. The user may also select other suitable assembly sequences as long as the splash plate assembly 15 can be assembled to the air outlet side 142 of the surface cooler 14.

When the user is disassembling the splash plate assembly 15, the user can remove the fastener on the cover plate 5133 to open the opening 5132. The water guard 153 is slid outwardly along the slide so that it moves outwardly from the receiving space 1515. When one water deflector 153 is completely withdrawn from the opening 5132, the water deflector 153 adjacent thereto is also moved outwardly of the opening 5132. The user may move the extracted water guard 153 upward or downward in a vertical direction such that the second catching portion 3141 of the water guard 153 is disengaged from the first catching portion 3131 of the adjacent water guard 153, thereby detaching each water guard 153. Each splash plate 153 of the splash plate assembly 15 is smaller and lighter than a separate, unitary splash plate, and therefore is easier to disassemble and transport. Especially, under the condition that the inner space of the combined air conditioner 1 is small, the water baffle plate assembly 15 can be conveniently disassembled and assembled without disassembling the whole combined air conditioner 1, and the maintenance cost is greatly reduced. In addition, the water deflector assembly 15 can also be used for conveniently detaching a part of the water deflector 153, so that the part of the water deflector 153 can be repaired and replaced, and the service life of the water deflector assembly 15 can be prolonged.
