The indoor unit of ceiling type air conditioner of the embodiment of the present invention constitutes a vapor compression refrigeration cycle system together with an outdoor unit of air conditioner (not shown), and realizes the refrigeration/heating of the indoor environment.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural view of a ceiling type air conditioner indoor unit according to an embodiment of the present invention; fig. 2 is a schematic exploded view of the ceiling type air conditioner indoor unit shown in fig. 1; fig. 3 is a sectional view of the ceiling type air conditioning indoor unit of fig. 1 cut along a vertical plane.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, a ceiling type air conditioning indoor unit may generally include a casing 100, a heat exchanger 400, a fan 300, and an air duct member 180.

The ceiling type air conditioning indoor unit is integrally suspended below an indoor roof, and the top of the casing 100 is used for being connected with the roof. The housing 100 is provided with at least one air inlet 110 and at least one air outlet 120. The outlet 120 is located at a side of the housing 100. The intake vent 110 may be located on the bottom surface of the housing 100 as shown in fig. 1 to 3, or may be located on the side surface of the housing 100.

The number of the air outlets 120 may be set as desired. For example, if the indoor unit is installed on the roof near the side wall, only one air outlet may be provided. If the installation position of this indoor set is kept away from the side wall, if set up in roof central authorities, can set up if two, three, four etc. a plurality of air outlets towards the diverse to realize multidirectional air supply effects such as two-sided air-out, trilateral air-out, four sides air-out. Even, can make the casing be circular, its circumference full angle all sets up the air outlet and is used for the air-out to realize 360 all-round air supplies.

Disposed within the housing 100 is a heat exchanger 400, which may be an evaporator of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle.

The fan 300 is disposed in the casing 100, and is configured to suck indoor air through the air inlet 110, so as to form heat exchange air (the heat exchange air is cold air during cooling and hot air during heating) after heat exchange with the heat exchanger 400, and blow the heat exchange air back to the indoor through the air outlet 120, thereby implementing indoor cooling/heating.

An air duct member 180 is provided in the housing 100, and includes at least one air duct 182. The number of the air ducts 182 is the same as the number of the air outlets 120 and corresponds to one another. The air duct 182 is used for guiding the heat-exchanging air to the corresponding air outlet 120. The air duct 182 is divided into an inlet section and an outlet section in the flow direction of the air flow, and the flow cross section at the inlet section is tapered in the flow direction of the heat exchange air. That is, the air duct 182 becomes narrower and narrower just as the air flow enters the air duct 182 and flows outward.

In the above embodiment, the air duct 182 is used to straighten the outlet airflow and then discharge the outlet airflow to the air outlet 120, so that the vortex flow generated at the air outlet 120 is reduced, the vortex flow noise is reduced, and the total noise value is reduced. In addition, the air duct also makes the air-out more smooth and easy, has reduced the consumption, has increased the amount of wind, has promoted air supply system's efficiency. In addition, the gradually reduced design of the flow cross section of the air duct inlet section can effectively increase the air speed and improve the air supply distance.

Further, the flow cross section of the air duct 182 at the outlet section thereof may also be kept constant along the flow direction of the heat exchange air. I.e., immediately before the air flow exits the air duct 182, the width of the air duct 182 is not changed. After the airflow is accelerated by the tapered section of the inlet section, the airflow enters the outlet section with the unchanged section to be stabilized, so that the airflow direction can be further adjusted, and the airflow is more stable and smooth.

FIG. 4 is a contoured view of the top and bottom walls of the air chute of FIG. 3. The shapes of the top wall and the bottom wall of the air duct 182 are designed in a thinning mode, so that the molded line of the air duct can better meet the original design purpose, namely, the better drainage, flow stabilization and vortex prevention effects are obtained.

The two widthwise walls of the air path 182 are symmetrical with respect to the widthwise central vertical plane thereof, as shown in fig. 2. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the change in the area of the flow cross section of the air duct is achieved by changing the profile of the top wall and the bottom wall of the air duct.

Referring to fig. 4, the cross-section of the point BR is the inlet cross-section of the air duct 182, and the cross-section of the point GJ is the outlet cross-section of the air duct 182. The spatial region enclosed by the BRKF is the inlet section of the air duct 182 and the spatial region enclosed by the FKJG is the outlet section of the air duct 182.

From the inlet to the outlet (indicated by the arrow as r) of the air duct 182, the top wall of the air duct 182 is sequentially a plurality of sections that are tangentially connected. And, each section extends in a direction toward the outlet of the air path 182 while being gradually inclined downward. The plurality of segments includes: a first arcuate segment BC, a second arcuate segment CD, a first linear segment DE, a third arcuate segment EF, and a second linear segment FG. The centers of the first arc segment BC and the second arc segment CD are both located at the inner side of the air duct 182, and the diameter of the second arc segment CD is larger than that of the first arc segment BC. The dashed circle C1 is the circle on which the first arc segment BC is located. Circle C2 is the circle on which the second arc segment CD lies. The third arc segment EF is centered outside the air chute 182.

The molded lines of the top wall of the air duct are arranged in such a way, so that the air flow near the top wall slowly enters the BC section, is rapidly contracted in the DE section to accelerate after the CD section is transited, and is transited to the gentle FG section through the turning of the EF section to realize the steady flow blowing.

From the inlet to the outlet of the air duct 182, the bottom wall of the air duct 182 includes a plurality of sections which are tangentially connected, respectively a third straight-line section RQ, a fourth arc-shaped section QP, a fourth straight-line section PN, a fifth arc-shaped section NM, a sixth arc-shaped section ML, a seventh arc-shaped section LK, and a fifth straight-line section KJ. The third straight section RQ extends horizontally from the inlet to the outlet of the air duct. The center of the fourth arc segment QP is located inside the air duct 182, and gradually extends upward from the end of the third straight segment RQ. A fourth straight segment PN extends upward from the top of the fourth arc segment QP. The center of the fifth arc segment NM is located outside the air duct 182 and extends upward from the top end of the fourth straight segment PN. The center of the sixth arc-shaped section ML is located at the outer side of the air duct 182, has a diameter smaller than that of the fifth arc-shaped section NM, and extends upward from the top end of the fifth arc-shaped section NM. The circle center of the seventh arc-shaped section LK is located outside the air duct 182 and has a diameter smaller than that of the sixth arc-shaped section ML, and extends from the top end of the sixth arc-shaped section ML first upwards and then towards the outlet direction of the air duct 182. The fifth straight line segment KJ extends from the end of the seventh arc-shaped segment LK toward the outlet of the air duct 182 and gradually inclines downward, and LK may be parallel to FG. A dotted circle C6 is a circle where the fifth arc-shaped section NM is located, and a dotted circle C5 is a circle where the sixth arc-shaped section ML is located. The dashed circle C4 is a circle in which the seventh arc segment LK is located.

The molded line of the bottom wall of the air duct is arranged in such a way that the airflow near the bottom wall slowly enters the RQ section, enters the PN, NM and ML sections after the smooth transition of the QP section, is rapidly contracted in section for acceleration at the three sections, and then is transited to the gentle KJ section through the steering of the LK section to realize the steady flow blowing.

The intake vent 110 is one in number and is disposed at the bottom surface of the housing 100. An alternative configuration of the housing 100 is shown in fig. 2 and includes a square bottom shell 150 with an open top and a square top cover 130 with an open bottom that snap together to define a receiving space. The side of the bottom case 150 is opened with the air outlet 120. The number of the air outlets 120 may be three, and one air outlet 120 is disposed on each of three sides of the bottom case 150. The bottom surface of the bottom chassis 150 is provided with an air inlet 110.

The fan 300 may be a laminar flow fan, the rotation axis of which extends vertically, and the bottom of which is opposite to the inlet 110, so as to suck air from the axial bottom thereof when operating, and then generate laminar flow wind by using the viscous effect of the air and blow it radially outward so as to enter the wind tunnel 182.

The heat exchanger 400 is preferably a ring plate or a half ring plate (circular ring, semicircular ring, square ring, irregular ring or U-shaped ring as shown in fig. 2) having an axis extending in a vertical direction, and is disposed around the laminar flow fan at a radial outer side of the laminar flow fan, so that it is not necessary to dispose the heat exchanger above or below the laminar flow fan, and an inner space of the ceiling type air conditioner indoor unit can be saved, the structure thereof is more compact, and the volume of the whole unit is smaller. Moreover, the heat exchanger 400 surrounds the laminar flow fan, so that the airflow of the laminar flow fan can more rapidly and comprehensively pass through the surface of the heat exchanger 400, and the heat exchange amount and the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 400 are greatly improved.

Fig. 6 is a bottom perspective view of a laminar flow fan. As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 6, the laminar flow fan includes a plurality of annular disks 10, a motor 20, and a circular disk 30. A plurality of annular discs 10 are arranged in parallel at intervals and fixedly connected with each other, and the axes of the annular discs extend vertically and are collinear. The circular disk 30 is located on top of the laminar flow fan and is spaced apart from and indirectly fixedly connected to the uppermost annular disk 10. A plurality of connecting rods 40 may be provided to extend vertically, and one end of each connecting rod 40 is fixed to the circular disk 30, and then extends vertically to penetrate through the plurality of annular disks 10 and is fixed to each of the annular disks 10, so as to fix the plurality of annular disks 10 and the circular disk 30 to each other. The center of the circular disk 30 is depressed downward to form a receiving chamber 31. The motor 20 is directly or indirectly fixed to the casing 100 and extends into the containing cavity 31 for driving the plurality of annular disks 10 to rotate, so that an air boundary layer on the surfaces of the plurality of annular disks 10 is driven by the plurality of annular disks 10 to rotate and move radially from inside to outside due to a viscous effect to form laminar air.

The laminar flow fan is of an axial air inlet and radial air outlet structure. It sucks air axially and blows out air radially to blow the air horizontally to each air outlet 120. Laminar flow fan realizes the air-out at annular no dead angle based on the laminar flow principle. And, laminar flow fan utilizes air boundary layer viscidity acting, and annular disc 10 is basically parallel with the flow direction of air current, can not violently disturb the impact air current and produce violent swirl, makes its noise reduce by a wide margin and noise quality is outstanding, has showing user experience of promotion. More specific principles and structures of the laminar flow fan will be described in detail later.

As shown in fig. 2, the air duct member 180 may be in the form of a housing with an open bottom, and the air duct 182 is formed on a side surface thereof. The air duct member 180 is fastened to the bottom of the housing 100 to cover the heat exchanger 400 and the fan 300 therein, so that the heat-exchanged air can flow only to the outlet 120 through the air duct 182 for smooth blowing.

As shown in fig. 2, a supporting plate 800 is also fixedly installed in the housing 100. The tray 800 is mounted on the bottom side of the interior of the housing 100. The heat exchanger 400 is mounted on the pallet 800 to be supported thereby. The periphery of the supporting plate 800 is hermetically connected to the inner wall of the housing 100, and a ventilation opening 801 is formed in the center thereof opposite to the air inlet 110 to allow the intake air to flow to the bottom of the laminar flow fan through the ventilation opening 801. In addition, as shown in fig. 3, after the intake air passes through the air inlet 801, all of the intake air is sucked into the laminar flow fan, and does not directly flow to the heat exchanger 400 without the action of the laminar flow fan, thereby affecting the heat exchange efficiency.

Fig. 5 is a schematic enlarged view of the bracket in fig. 2. As shown in fig. 2, 3 and 5, the ceiling type air conditioning indoor unit includes a bracket 50. The bracket 50 includes a horizontally disposed ring 51 and a plurality of connecting arms 52 (at least two, e.g., three as shown in fig. 5). The ring 51 has a hollow ring shape. The connecting arm 52 extends upward from the edge of the ring 51, and its upper end is detachably connected to the air channel member 180, specifically, by means of a screw connection. The motor 20 is placed on an upper side of the holder ring 51 to be supported thereby, and the rotation shaft 21 of the motor 20 is protruded downwardly from the center of the holder ring 51. In this manner, the ring 51 bears the weight of the entire laminar flow fan by supporting the motor 20.

As shown in fig. 1 and 3, at least one wind deflector 600 for guiding a wind direction is disposed at each wind outlet 120. The wind deflector 600 is elongated with a length direction parallel to the horizontal direction, and a rotation axis thereof is parallel to the length direction. When the plurality of wind deflectors 600 are provided, the plurality of wind deflectors 600 are arranged from top to bottom.

The wind deflector 600 can rotate to open or close the wind outlet 120, and the wind outlet direction of the wind outlet 120 can be changed by rotating the wind deflector 600 to different angles. The air deflector 600 can be driven to rotate by a motor or other structures, which will not be described in detail.

As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the intake vent 110 is circular, and the central axis thereof is the X axis. The bottom wall of the casing 100 around the intake vent 110 is a flow guide surface 140 extending radially outward from the edge of the intake vent 110 and gradually extending downward, and the flow guide surface 140 is a revolution surface coaxial with the intake vent 110. When a plane curve (single curvature, the plane of the curve is not perpendicular to the rotating shaft) or a space curve (double curvature) rotates around a fixed straight line (rotating shaft), a rotating surface is formed in the space.

The diversion member 200 is disposed at the air inlet 110, and an outer circumferential surface 201 of the diversion member is a revolution surface gradually expanding outward in a radial direction from top to bottom and coaxial with the air inlet 110, and is used for guiding indoor air to flow to the air inlet 110 through a gap between the outer circumferential surface 201 of the diversion member 200 and the bottom surface of the housing 100.

Compare in making wind from the direct vertical scheme that upwards gets into casing 100 in casing 100 bottom, the embodiment of the utility model provides a set up water conservancy diversion spare 200, make wind flow to air intake 110 from the clearance between water conservancy diversion spare 200 and the casing 100 bottom surface for the air inlet direction is close to the horizontal direction, makes the air more smoothly get into laminar flow fan (because laminar flow fan ring disc 10 is the level extension), makes laminar flow fan's energy consumption and noise all reduce to some extent. In addition, the bottom appearance (the bottom mainly faces to users) of the ceiling type indoor unit is more attractive due to the arrangement of the flow guide piece 200, and the influence of complicated air inlet grille arranged at the bottom of the shell 100 on the appearance is avoided.

Fig. 7 is a schematic diagram of the blowing principle of the laminar flow fan. As shown in fig. 7, the blowing principle of the laminar flow fan is mainly derived from a "tesla turbine" found in nigula tesla. Tesla turbines mainly utilize the 'laminar boundary layer effect' or 'viscous effect' of the fluid to achieve the purpose of doing work on 'turbine disks'. When the annular disks 10 rotate at a high speed, air in the spaces of the annular disks 10 contacts and moves with each other, and an air boundary layer 13 close to the surface of each annular disk 10 is driven by the rotating annular disks 10 to rotate from inside to outside to form laminar air under the action of viscous shear force tau.

Fig. 8 is a schematic view of air circulation of the laminar flow fan of the embodiment shown in fig. 1. As shown in fig. 8, an air inlet passage 11 is formed at the center of the annular disk 10 to allow external air to enter. A plurality of air outlet channels 12 are formed in gaps between the plurality of annular disks 10 for blowing out laminar air. The process of the laminar wind formed by the air boundary layer 13 rotating from inside to outside is centrifugal motion, so that the speed of the laminar wind leaving the air outlet channel 12 is higher than that of the laminar wind entering the air inlet channel 11.

Fig. 9 is an air circulation diagram of a laminar flow fan according to another embodiment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the inner circular diameter of each annular disk of the laminar flow fan may be made different. For example, in fig. 9, the inner circle diameters of the plurality of annular disks 10 are sequentially made smaller in the axial air intake direction of the laminar flow fan (from bottom to top in the embodiment shown in fig. 1 to 8). In other words, the inner circle diameter of the annular disk 10 is gradually reduced in the direction in which the air flow flows in the intake air passage 11. Therefore, when air enters the air inlet channel 11 from top to bottom, the air flows at different positions in the radial direction respectively correspond to different annular disks 10, so that the air can flow to the annular disks more uniformly, the air is prevented from entering the annular disks on the upper side difficultly, and the effect of improving the air volume is finally achieved.

Fig. 10 is a schematic view of an air circulation of a laminar flow fan according to another embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 11 is a schematic view of relationship between gradual pitch change of a plurality of annular disks and air volume and air pressure of the laminar flow fan shown in fig. 10.

In other embodiments, the spacing between adjacent annular disks of the laminar flow fan may be different. As shown in fig. 9, the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 may be gradually increased along the axial air intake direction of the laminar flow fan. Or, the distance between each two adjacent annular disks is gradually increased along the direction of the air flow flowing in the air inlet channel 11. The inventor finds that the arrangement can effectively improve the air volume of the laminar flow fan through a plurality of experiments. With particular reference to fig. 10.

In fig. 11, the abscissa axis shock uniform expansion Plate distance increment refers to the variation of the distance between two adjacent annular discs 10 along the direction from bottom to top, the left ordinate axis Mass flow rate refers to the air volume, the right ordinate axis Pressure refers to the air Pressure, and the air Pressure refers to the Pressure difference between the air outlet channel 12 and the air inlet channel 11 of the laminar flow fan. Also, the variation amount of the pitch between two adjacent annular disks 10 is the same, that is, the increase or decrease of the pitch between two adjacent annular disks 10 is the same.

Specifically, fig. 11 is a schematic diagram illustrating the relationship between the gradual change of the pitch of the plurality of ring disks 10 and the air volume and the air pressure when the outer diameter, the inner diameter, the number, the thickness of the ring disks 10 and the rotation speed of the motor 20 of the laminar flow fan are all kept constant. When all the above mentioned parameters are kept unchanged, in the plurality of annular disks 10, the distance between every two adjacent annular disks 10 is gradually changed, so that the influence on the air volume is large, and the influence on the air pressure is small. When the variation of the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 along the axial air inlet direction is a positive number, the distance is gradually increased; when the variation of the distance between two adjacent annular disks 10 along the axial air inlet direction is negative, the distance is gradually reduced. The variation of the interval between the adjacent two annular disks 10 can be made the same. As can be seen from fig. 11, when the variation of the distance between every two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 is-1 mm, 1mm and 2mm, the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan are both greatly improved.

Considering the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan together, it is preferable that the distance between every two adjacent annular disks 10 in the plurality of annular disks 10 is set to be gradually increased along the axial air intake direction. For example, the outer diameter of the ring disk 10 is 175mm, the inner diameter of the ring disk 10 is 115mm, the number of the ring disks 10 is 8, the thickness of the ring disk 10 is 2mm, and the rotation speed of the motor 20 is 1000rpm (revolutions per minute), at this time, the air volume and the air pressure of the laminar flow fan are considered comprehensively, for example, the distance between two adjacent ring disks 10 in 8 ring disks 10 may be set sequentially along the axial air inlet direction: 13.75mm, 14.75mm, 15.75mm, 16.75mm, 17.75mm, 18.75mm, 19.75 mm.
