The air conditioner provided by the second aspect of the present invention includes the air conditioning indoor unit 1 according to any of the embodiments described above, and therefore, has all the advantages of the air conditioning indoor unit 1.
Further, the air conditioner also comprises a control system, the control system can acquire a working mode instruction of the air conditioner, and controls the air conditioner indoor unit 1 to carry out natural convection heat exchange or carry out self-heating convection heat exchange and fan 14 active heat exchange together according to the working mode instruction, so as to meet different requirements of users and improve the comfort level of the users to the maximum extent.
Specifically, the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 provided by the invention can be applied to a plurality of products such as household air conditioners, central air-conditioning multi-split air conditioners, commercial air curtains, commercial air-conditioning indoor terminals and the like.
Example ten:
according to an embodiment of the present invention, an integrated air conditioning indoor unit 1 combining a jet active mode and a natural convection passive mode is provided, including a first cavity 102, a second cavity 104, an air inlet 106, and an air outlet 108, where along a first direction, the air outlet 108 is disposed on a bottom wall of the casing 10, and along a second direction, the second cavity 104 is located on two sides of the first cavity 102; the heat exchanger 12 is arranged in the shell 10, and at least one part of the heat exchanger 12 is arranged in the second cavity 104; the fan 14 is disposed in the first cavity 102, the fan 14 includes an inlet end 1420 and an outlet end 1422, the inlet end 1420 is communicated with the air inlet 106; the jet nozzle 16 is arranged in the housing 10, an air inlet end of the jet nozzle 16 is communicated with the outlet end 1422, and an air outlet end of the jet nozzle 16 is communicated with the second cavity 104; wherein, part of the air flow enters the housing 10 through the air inlet 106, enters the jet nozzle 16 through the fan 14, then is sprayed into the second cavity 104, and is discharged from the air outlet 108; part of the airflow passes through the air inlet 106, exchanges heat with part of the heat exchanger 12 in the second cavity 104, and is discharged through the air outlet 108.
Firstly, different from the traditional air-conditioning indoor unit 1, the scheme of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 provided by the invention has at least two working modes: a high wind mode in which the fan 14 is operating and a natural wind mode in which the fan 14 is not operating. Under the natural wind mode that the fan 14 does not work, the natural convection effect of the sinking of the cold air is enhanced completely by depending on the special arrangement scheme of the heat exchanger 12 and the parameter design of the heat exchanger 12, and the refrigerating effect without noise and wind sensation of the fan 14 is achieved completely.
Specifically, in the strong wind mode, the fan 14 sucks the indoor return air from the area of the jet air inlet 1060, passes through the first heat exchanger 12 in the first cavity 102, supplies air to both sides through the jet air duct 18 after cooling (or heating) the return air, and ejects the return air through the jet, a high-speed low-pressure fluid area is formed below the jet nozzle 16, the indoor return air is guided to enter from the area of the guided air inlet 106, the return air is mixed with the jet air after passing through the heat exchanger 12 in the second cavity 104, and the return air enters the room from the air outlet 108 downwards along the Z direction. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 to fig. 3, the first heat exchanging portion 120 and the second heat exchanging portion 122 surround to form a first heat exchanging region 126, and after the fan 14 is turned on, air is supplied through the bidirectional single-jet air duct 18. As shown in fig. 4 to 6, the first heat exchanging portion 120 and the second heat exchanging portion 122 enclose two first heat exchanging areas 126, and when the fan 14 is turned on, bidirectional double-jet air supply is realized. As shown in fig. 7 to 9, the first heat exchanging portion 120 and the second heat exchanging portion 122 surround three first heat exchanging areas 126, and after the fan 14 is turned on, air is supplied through the bidirectional three-jet air duct 18.
Under the natural wind mode, fan 14 does not work completely, therefore does not have the efflux air supply, relies on the regional arrangement form of heat exchanger 12 completely and produces not only abundant heat transfer and strengthens the air conditioning effect of sinking, reduces the effect of air flow resistance again, and indoor return air can be followed the drainage air intake 106 and got into indoor under the effect of natural convection, and then from air outlet 108 along the Z direction entering is indoor, and the indoor cooling is accomplished quietly when the user can hardly feel the sensation of wind.
The difference is that the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 of the invention adopts the middle fan 14 to supply air jet flow to two sides, and utilizes the jet flow to guide indoor return air to be cooled by the heat exchanger 12 and then mixed and sent out from the lower part. This has the effect that the fan 14 provides only a small proportion of the total air volume, and the diverted return air can be more than 60% of the total air volume, thereby reducing the load on the fan 14 while meeting the total capacity, and also achieving the noise reduction effect.
Further, in the first cavity 102, two fans 14 may be disposed, so that air is supplied to the second cavities 104 on two sides through one fan 14, and the air supply efficiency in the active heat exchange mode of the fans 14 is further improved.
In order to achieve better technical effects, the following points need to be met: 1. the heat exchanger 12 is arranged to fully cover the primary air intake 1062 and the jet air intake 1060 in the third direction and the first direction to ensure that no air flows through the heat exchanger 12; 2. the projections of the heat exchanger 12 in the first direction and the second direction cover the area where the air circulates as much as possible, so that the effect of air sinking in the two modes is ensured to be optimal; 3. the heat exchanger 12 is provided with a water pan 24 for holding condensed water at the positions shown in fig. 6 and 9, so as to prevent the condensed water from being collected and dropping into the room.
The invention has the following beneficial effects: the shape of the air-conditioning indoor unit 1 can have two operation modes of strong wind and natural wind, and the strong wind mode can reduce the load of the 14 air volume of the fan under the condition of meeting the total capacity and achieve the effect of reducing noise to a certain extent; in the natural wind mode, no noise of the fan 14 exists completely, and indoor non-wind-sense refrigeration is realized by utilizing a special heat exchanger 12 arrangement form; the air conditioner indoor unit 1 of the invention adopts the arrangement mode that the middle fan 14 supplies air to two ends, so that the problems of overlarge air duct resistance and uneven jet flow distribution caused by overlong air supply jet flow distance when the fan 14 is arranged at one end can be avoided; such an arrangement also reduces the load on the fan 14 and improves the compactness of the overall structure.
