Detailed Description

The technical solution provided by the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to fig. 1 to 6.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, an embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner, including a housing 1, a semiconductor heat exchanger 2, a first air guiding assembly 3, and a second air guiding assembly 4.

The housing 1 has a mounting cavity 11, and an air inlet 12, a first air outlet 13 and a second air outlet 14 which are communicated with the mounting cavity 11. The housing 1 includes a casing 15 and a bottom plate 16. The housing 15 and the base plate 16 are coupled together by fasteners such as bolts to form the mounting chamber 11. The air inlet 12, the first air outlet 13 and the second air outlet 14 are disposed in the housing 15. The housing 1 provides a basis for the mounting of other components, which are substantially located inside the mounting chamber 11. The shell 1 is made of stainless steel, aluminum alloy and the like, so that the light weight requirement is met, the service life is long, and the cleaning and maintenance are convenient.

The semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is installed inside the installation cavity 11 and located at the air inlet 12. The semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is located between the first air outlet 13 and the first air outlet 13, and divides the installation cavity 11 into a first cavity and a second cavity which are independent. The first end of the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is located in the first chamber and the second end of the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is located in the second chamber.

Specifically, the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is fixed in the mounting chamber 11 by other auxiliary members. For example, a mounting protrusion is provided on the inner wall of the housing 1, and the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is fixedly connected to the protrusion. The semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is hermetically connected with the inner wall of the mounting cavity 11. In other words, the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 divides the installation cavity 11 into a first cavity and a second cavity which are independent, and the air flows in the first cavity and the second cavity are isolated from each other and cannot flow in series. The gas in the first chamber is discharged to the outside of the air conditioner through the first air outlet 13. The air in the second chamber is exhausted to the outside of the air conditioner through the second air outlet 14.

The working principle of the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is described below.

Semiconductor refrigeration technology: when an N-type semiconductor material and a P-type semiconductor material are connected into a galvanic couple pair, energy transfer can be generated after direct current is switched on in the circuit, and the current flows to the joint of the P-type element from the N-type element to absorb heat to form a cold end; the junction from the P-type element to the N-type element releases heat to become the hot end. The magnitude of the energy transfer is determined by the magnitude of the current and the log of the elements of semiconductor material N, P. By utilizing the characteristics of semiconductor materials, the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 is used as a condenser and an evaporator at the same time, so that an outdoor unit is not required to be used by adopting the semiconductor heat exchanger 2, the installation is realized under the condition of not damaging the existing decoration, and the semiconductor heat exchanger is suitable for being installed and used in a room after decoration and is particularly suitable for being used as a kitchen air conditioner.

In this embodiment, taking an air conditioner as an example of a cooling air conditioner, the first outlet 13 faces the inside of the room, and the second outlet 14 faces the outside of the room.

In this case, the flow path of the entire gas flow is: the air flows from the first end of the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 to the first air guiding component 3, flows to the second air guiding component 4 and then flows out of the first air outlet 13. In this case, the outlet air is adjusted up and down first and then adjusted left and right.

The second case is: the second air guiding assembly 4 is located upstream of the second air guiding assembly 4, that is, the first air guiding assembly 3 is located on one side of the second air guiding assembly 4 away from the casing 1. In this case, the flow path of the entire gas flow is: the air flows from the first end of the semiconductor heat exchanger 2 to the second air guiding component 4, flows to the first air guiding component 3 and then flows out of the first air outlet 13. In this case, the outlet air is first adjusted left and right and then adjusted up and down.
