As shown in fig. 4 to 6, in the simulation, a light gray area in the supply air duct 310 indicates a relatively uniform air flow, and a black area in the supply air duct 310 indicates a wheeze area, i.e., a return area. When the rotational speed of the cross-flow fan 200 is reduced, a backflow area may occur in the supply air duct 310, and the backflow area may cause noise to be generated in the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner. As shown in fig. 4, when the rotational speed of crossflow blower 200 is high, the airflow in the large area of supply air duct 310 is relatively uniform, and the recirculation area is relatively small. As shown in fig. 5, the area of the return flow region in the supply air duct 310 increases when the rotational speed of the cross-flow fan 200 is medium. As shown in fig. 6, the cross-flow fan 200 is operated at a low rotation speed, and the area of the recirculation zone in the supply air duct 310 is further increased. The inventors have found that as the rotational speed of the cross-flow fan 200 decreases, the area of the return flow region in the supply air duct 310 increases gradually, which results in greater and greater noise in the indoor unit 10.
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment provides an air conditioner indoor unit 10, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 includes a cross-flow fan 200 and a supply volute 300, wherein the supply volute 300 includes a fan section 320 and a duct section 330. The supply volute 300 is extended from the outer circumference of the cross flow fan 200 to the supply outlet 100 of the indoor unit, and defines a supply air duct 310. The fan section 320 extends along the outer circumference of the cross flow fan 200 toward the blower opening 100. A first side of the duct section 330 is pivotally mounted to the extended end 321 of the fan section 320 and a second side thereof extends towards the supply air outlet 100 and is configured to pivot between facing and facing away from the supply air duct 310 to vary the width of the supply air duct 310.
In the present embodiment, the type of the air conditioner is not limited, and the air conditioner may be a wall-mounted air conditioner or an upright air conditioner, for example. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 1, the air conditioner in this embodiment is a floor air conditioner. In the present embodiment, a floor air conditioner will be described as an example.
Crossflow blower 200 is also called a crossflow blower, and crossflow blower 200 is generally cylindrical in shape. The impeller of crossflow blower 200 is multi-bladed with forward multi-airfoil blades. When the impeller rotates, airflow enters the blade grids from the opening position of the impeller, passes through the inside of the impeller, and is discharged into the air supply volute 300 from the blade grids on the other side to form working airflow. In the present embodiment, the length of crossflow blower 200 is not limited. Taking a floor air conditioner as an example, as shown in fig. 1, cross-flow fan 200 has an elongated cylindrical shape, and the length of cross-flow fan 200 is adapted to the length of air blowing port 100, that is, the length of cross-flow fan 200 is substantially the same as the length of air blowing port 100.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, taking a floor air conditioner as an example, the air supply duct 310 supplies air from the rear side of the air conditioner indoor unit 10 and discharges air from the front side, that is, the air supply duct 310 extends from the rear side to the front side of the air conditioner indoor unit 10. In the present embodiment, the specific configuration of the supply air volute 300 may be selected as desired. As a specific embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the blower volute 300 includes a fan section 320, an air duct section 330, and a volute tongue 390. And the fan section 320, air duct section 330, and volute tongue 390 cooperate to form the supply air duct 310. Openings are formed at upper and lower sides of the air supply duct 310, and a housing of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner is covered on the openings to prevent air leakage from the upper and lower sides of the air supply duct 310. In some other embodiments, the supply air volute 300 may further include a connecting wall for blocking the upper and lower openings of the supply air duct 310 so as not to leak air from the upper and lower sides of the supply air duct 310.
In this embodiment, the volute tongue 390 and the fan section 320 are spaced apart along the outer circumference of the crossflow blower 200, and the volute tongue 390 extends from the outer circumference of the crossflow blower 200 to the blower opening 100. And the volute tongue 390 is disposed opposite the fan section 320 and the duct section 330, and the volute tongue 390 cooperates with the fan section 320 and the duct section 330 to form the supply air duct 310. The volute tongue 390 and the fan section 320 are spaced along the outer circumference of the cross flow fan 200 such that a part of the cascade of the cross flow fan 200 is positioned outside the supply air duct 310 and the other part of the cascade of the cross flow fan 200 is positioned inside the supply air duct 310. The airflow enters the inside of the cross-flow fan 200 from a part of the blade cascade, passes through the cross-flow fan 200, and is discharged into the supply air duct 310 from another part of the blade cascade.
As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the fan section 320 extends along the outer periphery of the cross flow fan 200 toward the blower opening 100; that is, the fan section 320 is disposed along the outer circumference of the cross flow fan 200, and one end of the fan section 320 is directed toward the air blowing opening 100, which is referred to as an extension end 321, while being disposed along the outer circumference of the cross flow fan 200. Alternatively, the fan section 320 may be arc-shaped and disposed outside the crossflow blower 200 to surround the crossflow blower 200. In this embodiment, the curvature and size of the fan segment 320 are not specifically limited, that is, the area of the cross-flow fan 200 surrounded by the fan segment 320 is not limited, and the distance between the fan segment 320 and the cross-flow fan 200 is not limited, and can be selected as needed. For example, the pitch may be gradual.
The duct section 330 is located downstream of the fan section 320 in the flow direction of air in the supply duct 310, i.e., the duct section 330 is closer to the supply opening 100. The curvature of the air duct section 330 is less than the curvature of the fan section 320, i.e., the fan section 320 is bent more than the air duct section 330. The first side of the air duct section 330 is pivotally disposed at the extending end 321 of the fan section 320, which makes the inner wall of the air duct 310 continuous and smooth when the air duct section 330 rotates to change the width of the air duct 310, so that the air outlet of the air duct 310 is smooth. The first side of the air duct section 330 and the second side of the air duct section 330 are disposed opposite to each other, the first side of the air duct section 330 is located upstream of the airflow in the supply air duct 310, and the second side of the air duct section 330 is located downstream of the airflow in the supply air duct 310. Alternatively, it is understood that a first side of the air duct section 330 is distal from the supply air opening 100, proximal to the extended end 321 of the fan section 320, and a second side of the air duct section 330 is proximal to the supply air opening 100. The duct section 330 is configured to rotate between the towards and away from the supply air duct 310, i.e. the duct section 330 is configured to rotate between the towards and away from the volute, to vary the width of the supply air duct 310. In this embodiment, the range of the rotatable angle of the air duct section 330 is not limited, and may be set according to the specific model and the specific requirement, and the air duct section 330 may be rotated to change the width of the air supply duct 310.
As shown in fig. 4 to 6, when the rotational speed of crossflow blower 200 is reduced, the amount of air in supply air duct 310 is reduced, and a return flow region is formed in supply air duct 310. Further, the lower the rotational speed of crossflow blower 200, the larger the recirculation zone in supply air duct 310. In the present embodiment, air duct section 330 is configured to rotate toward supply air duct 310 so that the width of supply air duct 310 becomes smaller in the case where the wind speed of crossflow blower 200 decreases. As shown in fig. 7, this can forcibly remove the backflow area in the supply air duct 310, thereby preventing the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner from generating noise.
Based on the above analysis, the duct section 330 can be rotated toward and away from the supply air duct 310 to change the width of the supply air duct 310. When the rotational speed of crossflow blower 200 is reduced, duct section 330 rotates toward supply duct 310 to reduce the width of supply duct 310. This can forcibly delete the backflow area in the supply air duct 310, thereby preventing the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner from generating noise.
In some other embodiments, the blower volute 300 further includes a fixed section 340, and the fixed section 340 is disposed at the blower outlet 100 and is connected to the second side of the air duct section 330 when the air duct section 330 rotates away from the blower air duct 310 to the first position where the blower air duct 310 is widest. Generally, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the fixing section 340 is inclined from the air outlet 100 toward the inside of the air duct, and if the fixing section 340 rotates together with the air duct section 330, the inner wall of the narrow air duct 310 is easily discontinuous when the fixing section 340 rotates to collide with the first swing vane 400 to form the narrow air duct 310. Secondly, if the air duct section 330 directly collides with the air supply opening 100, people can easily observe that the air duct section 330 collides with the air supply opening 100, which affects the appearance.
In other embodiments, the fan section 320, the air duct section 330, and the stationary section 340 form a complete continuous first air duct wall 370 when the stationary section 340 is attached to the second side of the air duct section 330. That is, the fan segment 320, the air duct segment 330 and the fixing segment 340 form a complete and continuous inner wall of the duct wall, that is, there is no unevenness on the inner wall of the fan segment 320, the inner wall of the air duct segment 330 and the inner wall of the fixing segment 340, and there is no gap and unevenness on the joint. This can make the gas smoothly flow in air duct 310, avoids blowing the whistle, reduces the noise.
In other embodiments, the supply volute 300 further includes a travel section 350 and a bridge 360, the travel section 350 being disposed on a second side of the air duct section 330, the travel section 350 extending away from the supply air duct 310. The overlapping portion 360 is disposed at the stroke portion, and overlaps the fixed portion 340 to fix the air duct portion 330 when the air duct portion 330 rotates to the second position where the air duct 310 is the narrowest toward the air duct 310.
In the present embodiment, the specific structure and shape of the stroke section 350 are not limited, and can be selected according to the requirement. As a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the stroke section 350 has a plate shape. It will be apparent that this is merely exemplary and not exclusive. For example, the stroke section 350 may be in the shape of an elongated support bar or the like. The stroke section 350 projects away from the supply air duct 310, i.e., the stroke section 350 projects away from the inside of the duct section 330.
In this embodiment, the specific structure and shape of the overlapping portion 360 are not limited, and may be selected as needed. As a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the lap portion 360 has a plate shape. It will be clear that this is exemplary only and not exclusive. The overlapping portion 360 and the stroke portion are matched to limit the rotation range of the air duct section 330, and the overlapping portion 360 is used for fixing the air duct section 330 and preventing the air duct section 330 from shaking.
In some other embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 further includes a first swing blade 400, the first swing blade 400 is pivotally disposed at the air blowing opening 100 along the length direction of the air blowing opening 100, and configured to at least abut against the second side of the air duct section 330 to support the air duct section 330 when the air duct section 330 rotates to the second position. In this embodiment, the specific manner of pivotally disposing the first swing vane 400 at the air supply outlet 100 is not limited, and as a specific embodiment, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 further includes a pivot axis disposed along the length direction of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and the first swing vane 400 is pivotally disposed on the pivot axis. When the air duct section 330 rotates to the first position, the first swing vane 400 is configured to rotate to the corresponding position to guide the air so as to make the air in the air duct more uniform. When the air duct section 330 rotates to the second position, the first swing blade 400 can rotate to a predetermined position to support and abut against the second side of the volute tongue 390 for fixing the volute tongue 390.
In other embodiments, when the air duct section 330 is rotated to the second position, the first swing vane 400 is rotated such that its vane face forms a complete continuous second air duct wall 380 with the air duct section 330 and the fan section 320. That is, as shown in fig. 3, the first swing vane 400 rotates to a vertical state and is slightly inclined. That is, the first swing blade 400 is rotated such that its blade surface is approximately located on the extended surface of the air duct section 330 to form a complete continuous second air duct wall 380 with the air duct section 330 and the fan section 320. In this embodiment, the state of the first swing vane 400 after rotation is not limited, and can be selected according to specific needs and specific models. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 3, the first swing blade 400 is rotated to an acute angle ranging from 75 ° to 85 ° with respect to the horizontal plane, so that the blade surface of the first swing blade 400 forms a complete continuous second air duct wall 380 with the air duct section 330 and the fan section 320.
When the air duct section 330 rotates to the second position toward the air supply duct 310, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the second side of the air duct section 330 is further away from the air supply opening 100, and the first swing vane 400 rotates to make the vane surface, the air duct section 330 and the fan section 320 form a complete and continuous second air duct wall 380, so as to form a complete air supply duct 310.
In some other embodiments, the air conditioner indoor unit 10 further includes a plurality of second swing vanes 500, and the plurality of second swing vanes 500 are respectively pivotally disposed at the air blowing opening 100 along the length direction of the air blowing opening 100, and are configured to be controlled to independently rotate to a preset position to make the air flow of the air blowing duct 310 uniform.
In this embodiment, a specific manner of pivoting the second swing vane 500 is not limited, and the second swing vane 500 may rotate at the air blowing port 100. In this embodiment, the preset position is not specifically limited, and the preset position can be specifically set as required, so that the air flow in the air duct is more uniform. The second swing blade 500 adjacent to the volute tongue 390 is rotated to be gradually inclined toward the volute tongue 390 from the supply port 100. That is, as shown in fig. 3, the second swing vane 500 positioned at the left side is rotated counterclockwise from the vertical state. The angle through which the second swing blade 500 on the left side rotates is not particularly limited, and may be selected according to the requirement, and in this embodiment, the angle through which the second swing blade 500 on the left side rotates ranges from 5 ° to 15 °. This can make the air flow in the supply air duct 310 more uniform, and reduce the noise of the indoor unit 10 of the air conditioner. In this embodiment, the number of the second swing vanes 500 is not limited, and can be selected according to the requirement, as shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, the number of the second swing vanes 500 is two, which is obviously only exemplary and not exclusive.
In other embodiments, the fixed segment 340 extends gradually obliquely from the supply air outlet 100 toward the inside of the duct. That is, the fixed segment 340 gradually inclines away from the volute 390 along the direction of the airflow in the air duct 310, which makes the width of the air outlet 100 larger and the air supply range wider.
In other embodiments, the range of angles through which the air chute section 330 rotates as the air chute section 330 rotates from the first position to the second position is 18 ° to 25 °. In this embodiment, when the air duct section 330 rotates from the first position to the second position, the angle range that the air duct section 330 rotates through is not specifically limited, and can be selected as required. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the air duct section 330 is rotated through an angle of 22. This can remove the backflow zone, reduce the noise of the air conditioner indoor unit 10, and does not affect the amount of air supplied.
The bridge 360 extends a length that is 1 to 6 times the thickness of the wall of the air duct section 330. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the bridge 360 extends a length that is 3 times the thickness of the wall of the air duct section 330. This secures both the duct section 330 and the strength of the blower volute 300.
In other embodiments, as the rotational speed of crossflow blower 200 is reduced, duct section 330 rotates toward supply air duct 310 to narrow supply air duct 310. When the rotating speed of the cross-flow fan 200 is reduced, a backflow area is easy to appear, and the backflow area can be forcibly deleted due to the narrowed air duct, so that noise is avoided.
The fixing section 340 is fixed at the air supply opening 100, and when the air duct section 330 rotates to the first position, the second side of the air duct section 330 is connected with the fixing section 340. In this embodiment, the specific length of the air duct section 330 along the airflow direction in the air duct 310 is not limited, and the air duct section 330 does not extend out of the air outlet 100 in the rotation process according to the specific machine type limitation, that is, the air duct section 330 is always located in the air outlet 100 in the rotation process. As a specific example, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the length of the air duct section 330 is 3/4 the sum of the length of the air duct section 330 and the length of the fixed section 340, and the length of the air duct section 330 is 1/3 the sum of the length of the first air duct wall 370.
