The utility model provides an indoor set of air conditioning, this indoor set of air conditioning can be indoor set of floor type air conditioning, mobile air conditioner, wall-hanging air conditioning, window machine etc..

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1 to 6, the indoor unit of an air conditioner includes a housing 1, a vortex ring generator, and a fan assembly 4. The housing 1 has a first air inlet 11, a first air outlet 12, a second air outlet 13 and a heat exchange air duct 14 communicating the first air inlet 11 with the first air outlet 12, and the second air outlet 13 is spaced from the first air outlet 12. A vortex ring generating device is arranged on the shell 1, and is provided with an air supply opening 221 and used for periodically blowing vortex ring airflow from the air supply opening 221; the air supply outlet 221 is communicated with the indoor space through the second air outlet 13. The fan assembly 4 is installed in the housing 1, and the fan assembly 4 is used for driving the airflow to flow to the second air outlet 13 and/or driving the airflow to flow from the first air inlet 11 to the first air outlet 12.

In this embodiment, the housing 1 may be an integral structure or may be formed by splicing several plates. The shapes of the first air inlet 11, the first air outlet 12, the second air outlet 13, and the air supply outlet 221 may be circular, oval, rectangular, polygonal, irregular, etc., or may be a plurality of micro holes, and the sizes and shapes thereof are not limited herein. The heat exchange air duct 14 means that the air flow entering from the first air inlet 11 can exchange heat in the air duct and then be blown out from the first air outlet 12. The cross-sectional shape of the heat exchange air duct 14 may be circular, oval, arc, etc., and the extension shape thereof may be a straight tube type, a bent type, etc. The heat exchange air duct 14 may be directly enclosed by the housing 1, or may be enclosed by the inner wall of the air duct in the housing 1.

Fig. 6 shows a two-dimensional simulation diagram of the formation of the vortex ring at the air blowing port 221 of the vortex ring generating apparatus. The simulation here is only a two-dimensional simulation of the radial cross section of one of the outlets 221, in other words, the two-dimensional simulation of the radial cross section results in one vortex pair, and the three-dimensional simulation results in one vortex ring.

The vortex ring generating device can be arranged in the shell 1, can also be arranged outside the shell 1, and can also be embedded on the shell 1. The vortex ring airflow means that when the central airflow of the punched area is high in flow speed relative to the airflow of the surrounding area due to a certain punching action, the pressure of the punched area is lower than that of the surrounding area, and the airflow of the surrounding area is supplemented to the punched area due to the pressure difference, so that the rotatable rotating airflow is formed. The vortex ring airflow can be blown farther than other airflows, and the radius of the vortex ring airflow is gradually increased, so that the air supply distance of the vortex ring airflow is long, the radiation range is large, and directional and fixed-point air supply can be realized. The vortex ring airflow blown out by the vortex ring generating device can be the airflow in the heat exchange air duct 14, and at the moment, the air inlet end of the vortex ring generating device is communicated with the air outlet end of the heat exchange air duct 14. The blown vortex ring airflow is the airflow after heat exchange, so that the heat exchange wind is farther and wider in radiation range, and the indoor temperature can be subjected to quick heat exchange. The vortex ring airflow blown out by the vortex ring generating device can also be indoor airflow, and the air inlet end of the vortex ring generating device is communicated with the indoor space. Then because the farther that whirlpool ring air current blows, radiation range is wider to can make indoor temperature distribution more even, and then promote the user and use experience and feel.

When the vortex ring generating device works, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in a vortex ring air supply mode at the moment, and the vortex ring generating device periodically outputs vortex ring airflow stably from the air supply opening 221. Under the same air quantity, the mode of vortex ring air supply can realize directional, fixed-point and remote air supply. And the vortex ring exchanges heat with ambient air in the transmission process, the temperature difference between the temperature of the vortex ring and the ambient air is not large, so that the vortex ring cannot generate obvious supercooling or overheating feeling when being blown on a person, and the comfort is improved. When the vortex ring generating part 3 does not work, the indoor unit of the air conditioner is in a normal air supply mode, and normal air after heat exchange is sent out from the first air outlet 12. The conventional air supply mode and the vortex ring air supply mode can be opened alternatively or simultaneously, and at the moment, the indoor unit of the air conditioner can realize vortex ring air supply and conventional air supply simultaneously.

The second outlet port 13 is configured as a vortex ring outlet port 221 by allowing the outlet port 221 to communicate with the inside of the room through the second outlet port 13. The first outlet vent 12 is configured as a conventional blower vent 221. Therefore, the vortex ring air supply mode and the conventional air supply mode of the indoor unit of the air conditioner are provided with independent air outlets, so that the conventional air supply structure of the indoor unit of the air conditioner is not required to be adjusted to a large extent, and only the corresponding structure under the vortex ring air supply mode needs to be additionally arranged. The manufacturing mould is not required to be changed greatly, so that the structural change of the product on the original conventional air conditioner is small, and the production and manufacturing cost is low. Meanwhile, a user can select the vortex ring air supply mode and the conventional air supply mode to be started simultaneously, the combined air outlet modes are more, and the using effect of the user is better.

The fan assembly 4 may include one fan or two fans. When the fan assembly 4 is a fan, the air supply channel of the vortex ring generating device is communicated with the heat exchange air duct 14, and the fan drives the airflow to flow to the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 simultaneously. The vortex ring air supply mode and the conventional air supply mode of the air conditioner indoor unit do not need to use two fan assemblies 4, and the whole air conditioner indoor unit can drive enough air flow by using one fan assembly 4, so that the structure of the whole air conditioner is simplified, and the cost is reduced. The fan assembly 4 may be an axial fan, a centrifugal fan, a cross-flow fan, or a mixed flow fan. When the fan assembly 4 is a fan of different types, the opening positions of the first air inlet 11, the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 can be adjusted accordingly, so that the whole air-conditioning indoor unit can smoothly discharge air from the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13.

Several embodiments of the fan assembly 4 including a fan are described below, in which the air duct of the vortex ring generator is in communication with the heat exchange air duct 14. In one embodiment, the fan assembly 4 is an axial flow fan, and the axial flow fan is located between the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 or near the first air inlet 11. At this time, the axial flow fan can drive the airflow to flow from the first air inlet 11 to the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13. In order to ensure enough air quantity, the axial flow fan can be a contra-rotating fan or a multi-stage fan. In another embodiment, the fan assembly 4 is a centrifugal fan located at the lower end of the housing 1. The centrifugal fan can drive a sufficient amount of airflow to the first outlet 12 and the second outlet 13. The centrifugal fan can comprise a one-way centrifugal wind wheel and also can comprise a two-way centrifugal wind wheel so as to improve the air quantity. In an embodiment, the centrifugal wind wheel is a cross flow wind wheel, and the cross flow wind wheel extends from the first air outlet 12 to the second air outlet 13. Therefore, one cross-flow wind wheel can ensure enough wind quantity to blow to the first air outlet 12 and the second air outlet 13 simultaneously. In other implementations, the fan assembly 4 may also be a mixed flow wind wheel.

The utility model discloses machine in air conditioning is first air outlet 12 and second air outlet 13 of spaced through setting up on shell 1, and make vortex ring generating device can be periodic blow off the vortex ring air current by supply-air outlet 221, thereby can realize the orientation, fixed point and remote air supply, and make shell 1 have first air outlet 12 and second air outlet 13, first air outlet 12 is used for blowing off the conventional wind after the heat transfer, second air outlet 13 is used for blowing off the vortex ring air current, make machine in air conditioning have multiple air supply mode, thereby can satisfy user's different demands, promote user experience and feel.

In an embodiment, as shown in fig. 3 to 5, the vortex ring generating device includes a vortex ring air supplying part 2 installed on the housing 1, the vortex ring air supplying part 2 includes an air duct 21 and a flow collecting member 22, the air duct 21 is opened with a second air inlet 212 and a third air outlet 211, the flow collecting member 22 is installed at the third air outlet 211, the flow collecting member 22 is opened with the air supplying opening 221, and an air passing area of the air supplying opening 221 is smaller than an air passing area of the third air outlet 211.

In this embodiment, the scroll ring air supply unit 2 includes the air duct 21 and the flow collecting member 22, and the air supply space of the scroll ring air supply unit 2 can be increased, which is more favorable for the formation of the scroll ring. The scroll blowing part 2 may be attached to the outer wall surface of the casing 1, may be attached to the inside of the casing 1, or may be embedded in the casing 1. The vortex ring air supply part 2 and the shell 1 can be integrally formed or can be formed separately. The air supply opening 221 may be connected to the second air outlet 13, or the flow collecting member 22 may be extended out of the second air outlet 13, that is, in the air outlet direction, the second air outlet 13 and the air supply opening 221 are arranged in front and back, or in the air outlet direction, the air supply opening 221 and the second air outlet 13 are arranged in front and back. The collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 may be integrally formed or may be separately formed. It can be understood that when the collecting member 22 is formed separately from the air duct 21, the collecting member 22 is hermetically connected to the air duct 21. When the collecting member 22 and the air duct 21 are integrally formed, a virtual boundary is defined by using a joint of the air duct 21 and the collecting member 22 as a boundary, one side of the boundary is the air duct 21, the other side is the collecting member 22, and a third air outlet 211 of the air duct 21 is formed at the boundary. Clearly, the air passing area of the third air outlet 211 is larger than that of the air supply outlet 221 of the collecting member 22. The extension directions of the outer wall surfaces of the collecting piece 22 and the air duct 21 can be the same, that is, the length extension lines of the outer wall surfaces of the collecting piece and the air duct are in a straight line, and at this time, the vortex ring air supply part 2 is in a complete shape without a patch cord. The extending directions of the collecting piece 22 and the outer wall surface of the air duct 21 may be different, that is, the length extending lines of the outer wall surfaces of the collecting piece 22 and the air duct 21 form an included angle, and at this time, a junction line is formed at the junction of the collecting piece 22 and the air duct 21.

Since the air flow area of the air blowing port 221 is smaller than the air flow area of the third air outlet 211, part of the air flow flowing from the third air outlet 211 to the air blowing port 221 flows along the inner wall surface of the scroll blowing part 2 and then flows out from the periphery of the air blowing port 221, and the other part of the air flow flows out from the middle of the air blowing port 221. The partial flow flowing out from the edge of the air blowing opening 221 is defined as edge flow, and the flow flowing out from the middle of the air blowing opening 221 is positioned as middle flow. Then, the peripheral air flow is subjected to resistance by the inner wall surface of the scroll blowing section 2. The flow velocity is lower compared to the middle stream. This difference in flow velocity will cause a vortex ring airflow to be generated as the airflow exits the supply opening 221.

In combination with the above-mentioned embodiment having the collecting member 22, referring to fig. 3 to 5 again, the collecting member 22 is a collecting cover, and the collecting cover is disposed in a tapering manner from the third air outlet 211 to the air outlet 221. The cross-sectional shape of the manifold can be circular, oval, rectangular, etc. In order to reduce wind resistance, the collecting cover is substantially cylindrical. By making the collecting cover gradually taper from the third air outlet 211 to the air blowing outlet 221, the collecting cover can collect the air blown out from the third air outlet 211, and the generation and blowing of the vortex ring can be smoother.

In another embodiment, the collecting member 22 is a collecting plate, the collecting plate is installed at the third air outlet 211, and the collecting plate is provided with an air inlet 221. The collecting plate may be a plate covering the air outlet, and the air outlet 221 smaller than the third air outlet 211 is formed in the collecting plate, so that when the air flow is blown out from the third air outlet 211 to the air outlet 221, the air flow blown out from the air outlet 221 may be in a vortex shape due to a partial blocking effect of the collecting plate. And the collector plate has simple structure and is easy to manufacture and process. In other embodiments, collector 22 may be formed by several plates, and the formation of a vortex ring may also be achieved by providing a supply air outlet 221 in one of the plates.

Further, as shown in fig. 2 to 5, the vortex ring generating device further includes a vortex ring generating portion 3, and the vortex ring generating portion 3 periodically opens the air duct 21 and/or the collecting member 22 to blow the air flow out through the air supply opening 221.

In this embodiment, the vortex ring generating part 3 may be installed in the casing 1 or on the vortex ring air blowing part 2, and the vortex ring generating part 3 may be detachably installed in the casing 1 or on the vortex ring air blowing part 2, or may be integrally formed with the casing 1 or the vortex ring air blowing part 2. The vortex ring generating part 3 may be a door opening and closing structure, such as a louver structure, a door panel structure, a fan structure, etc., and the door opening and closing structure is periodically opened or closed, so that air with a certain pressure accumulated on one side of the door opening and closing 32 is quickly released from the third air outlet 211 and flows to the air supply outlet 221 to form a vortex ring to be blown out.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2 to 5 again, the vortex ring generating unit 2 includes a driving device 31 and an opening and closing door 32, the opening and closing door 32 is installed on the vortex ring blowing unit 2 to block the airflow in the casing 1 from flowing to the blowing port 221, and the driving device 31 is connected to the opening and closing door 32 to periodically drive the opening and closing door 32 to open or close.

The vortex ring air supply part 2 can be communicated with the heat exchange air duct 14, and the heat exchange fan 42 in the heat exchange air duct 14 can continuously blow air flow to the vortex ring air supply part 2. The scroll ring air supply part 2 may not be communicated with the heat exchange air duct 14, and a scroll ring fan 41 may be provided to drive sufficient indoor airflow to flow to the scroll ring air supply part 2. When the vortex ring generating part 3 operates, a certain volume of air is accumulated in the vortex ring air supplying part 2 because the vortex ring air supplying part 2 continuously supplies air. When the vortex ring generating part 3 is opened, a driving force is generated to drive the airflow to the air supply opening 221 due to the pressure difference, and the air passing area of the air supply opening 221 is smaller than that of the third air outlet 211, so that the air supply opening 221 can blow the vortex ring airflow.

The switch door 32 can be arranged in the air duct 21 and/or the collecting member 22. The opening and closing door 32 may be a louver structure, a door panel structure, a fan structure, etc. The driving device 31 may include a control panel and a driving member, the driving member may be a hydraulic device, an air pressure device or a motor driving device 31, and the driving device 31 may drive the opening/closing door 32 to rotate, extend and retract, and the like, so as to drive the opening/closing door 32 to open and close periodically. The control panel controls the driving member to drive the opening and closing door 32 to repeatedly open or close the vortex ring blowing part 2. The driving device 31 may be disposed on the wind tunnel 21, or may be disposed on the collecting member 22. The structure of the opening and closing door 32 is added through the driving device 31, so that the structure is simple and stable, and the control is convenient, thereby being more beneficial to the smooth generation of vortex ring airflow.

In another embodiment, the driving device 31 is a motor, the transmission member includes a gear connected to the motor shaft, a pinion engaged with the gear and fixedly connected to a blade rotating shaft, and a transmission rod drivingly connected to the blade rotating shafts, the motor drives the gear to rotate the pinion to drive a blade to rotate around the rotating shaft, so as to link the blades to turn.

When the compression element (not shown) is of a piston structure, the piston is sealed with the inner wall surface of the scroll blowing section 2 and is movable relative thereto. When the driving device 31 drives the piston to move in the scroll blowing part 2, the gas in the scroll blowing part 2 near the blowing port 221 can be compressed, and the gas can be pushed to form a scroll flow from the blowing port 221 and blown out. The piston can be positioned in the air duct 21 and/or the collecting piece 22. In one embodiment, the piston structure includes a pushing plate and a pushing rod connected to the pushing plate, and the pushing plate is movably connected to the inner wall surface of the vortex ring air duct 23.
