The specific mounting of the perturbation 310 is described in detail below.
Referring to fig. 4 to 6, in an embodiment, the housing 210 includes a housing 211 for accommodating the heat storage material, and a housing cover 212 covering an upper end of the housing 211; wherein, the driver 320 is arranged on the shell cover 212; the upper end of the interference member 310 is connected to the driver 320.
Specifically, the inner cavity for accommodating the heat storage material is formed inside the shell body 211, and the inner cavity is upward and is open; the housing cover 212 covers the upper end of the housing body 211 to cover the opening of the inner cavity (as shown in fig. 7). Mounting the driver 320 on the top surface of the housing cover 212 not only facilitates servicing of the driver 320, but also makes it difficult for the driver 320 to come into contact with the heat storage material. The upper end of the disturbance 310 is connected to the driver 320, and the remaining part of the disturbance 310 is inserted into the thermal storage material in the housing 211 through the housing cover 212. When the cover 212 is detached, the disturbing member 310 can be pulled out from the outside without opening the cover, and the detachment is easy and the operation is easy.
Referring to fig. 4, 5 and 7, in an embodiment, the housing cover 212 is provided with an insertion opening 213 for inserting the disturbing element 310 into the housing body 211, and an annular supporting portion 214 is protruded at a periphery of the insertion opening 213; the disturbing assembly 300 further includes a fixing plate 330 for mounting the driver 320, and the fixing plate 330 covers the insertion opening 213 and is fixedly connected to the annular support portion 214.
Specifically, the fixing plate 330 of the disturbance assembly 300 covers the insertion opening 213, the lower surface of the fixing plate 330 is supported by the annular support portion 214, and the periphery of the fixing plate 330 is fixed to the annular support portion 214 by a snap structure or a screw structure. The driver 320 of the stirring assembly 300 is mounted on the top surface of the fixing plate 330, and the stirring member 310 is inserted from the driver 320 downward through the inlet to the heat storage material in the housing 211.
Referring to fig. 5, 7 and 8, it is considered that, since the insertion port 213 communicates with the inner cavity of the case 210, heat of the heat storage material in the case 210 may be dissipated outward from the insertion port 213. To reduce this, the annular support portion 214 optionally includes two annular support ribs arranged along a radial direction thereof, and the two annular support ribs are spaced by an annular groove 215; the lower surface of the fixing plate 330 is protruded with an annular rib 331, and the annular rib 331 is inserted into the annular groove 215. By inserting the annular rib 331 of the fixing plate 330 into the annular groove 215 of the annular support portion 214, the gap between the fixing plate 330 and the periphery of the insertion opening 213 can be reduced, the air tightness of the housing 210 can be improved, and the heat dissipation from the inside of the housing 210 can be reduced.
Further, a wiring port 216 communicating with the insertion port 213 is formed in the side wall of the annular supporting portion 214, and the wiring port 216 is suitable for a wire of an electric control component in the housing 211 to pass through. The electrically controlled components may be individual temperature sensors or electrical heating elements 220. Because the wire running port 216 is small and just allows a wire with a small diameter to pass through, the heat emitted from the wire running port 216 is small and can be basically ignored.
According to any of the above embodiments, the specific shape and structure of the disturbance element 310 may be designed in various ways, as mentioned above. In this embodiment, the disturbing element 310 is a disturbing rod with a long strip shape, and the disturbing rod has a small volume, so that the occupied disturbing space can be reduced.
Referring to fig. 4, in view of the fact that the temperature of the heat storage material at the bottom of the cavity of the housing 211 is generally low and the temperature of the heat storage material at the top of the cavity of the heat storage device 200 is high during normal operation of the air conditioner, in order to ensure that the heat storage materials at the bottom and the top of the cavity of the housing 211 can be disturbed to be mixed, the depth of the disturbance member 310 extending into the housing 211 is preferably greater than or equal to 1/2 of the depth of the cavity of the housing 211. Therefore, the lower end of the disturbing part 310 can be close to or deep into the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell body 211, and the upper layer and the lower layer of the heat storage material can be disturbed, so that the upper layer and the lower layer of the heat storage material are effectively and uniformly mixed.
For convenience of explanation, assume H0Indicated as the depth of the lumen, H, of the body 2111The depth of the interference member 310 extending into the housing 211 is shown as H1≥1/2H0Such as but not limited to, for example H1May be equal to 1/2H0、2/3H0、3/4H0And the like.
In one embodiment, since the upper end of the disturbance member 310 needs to penetrate the upper side of the fixed plate to be connected to the driver 320, and the rest of the disturbance member 310 is in contact with the heat storage material, heat of the heat storage material may be conducted outward through the disturbance member 310. Therefore, to avoid this, optionally, the perturbation 310 comprises a hard body and a layer of thermal insulation material disposed on an outer surface of the hard body to wrap the hard body.
The hard body is made of hard material, such as metal or hard plastic, so that the disturbance element 310 has better strength and can strongly disturb the heat storage material. The heat insulating material layer is made of heat insulating materials, and can be a material coating coated on the outer surface of the hard body or a heat insulating sleeve sleeved on the outer side surface of the hard body. The hard body is wrapped by the heat insulation material layer, so that the disturbance piece 310 is separated from the heat storage material, the heat of the heat storage material is difficult to conduct to the hard body through the heat insulation material layer of the disturbance piece 310, and further the heat cannot be conducted out through the disturbance piece 310.
With continued reference to FIG. 4, the disturbance pattern of the disturbance element 310 may also have various designs. In one embodiment, the disturbance element 310 may vibrate relative to the housing 210 to disturb the thermal storage material by vibration. That is, the thermal storage material is vibrated around the disturbance 310 by driving the disturbance 310 by the driver 320 so as to accelerate heat transfer inside the thermal storage material, so that the thermal storage amount is uniform in each part of the thermal storage material.
In another embodiment, the perturber 310 is rotatable relative to the housing 210 to perturb the thermal storage material by rotation. Specifically, the upper end of the disturbance member 310 is rotatably connected to the housing cover 212, the disturbance member 310 has a rotation axis aligned with the length direction thereof, and the disturbance member 310 is driven by the driver 320 to rotate around the rotation axis to stir the heat storage material, thereby accelerating the heat transfer inside the heat storage material and also making the heat storage amount of each part of the heat storage material uniform.
In yet another embodiment, the disturbance 310 may be swingable with respect to the housing 210 to disturb the thermal storage material by swinging. For example, the interfering member 310 may swing left and right or back and forth. That is, the disturbance member 310 corresponds to a swing arm, and the disturbance member 310 is driven by the driver 320 to swing back and forth, so that the heat storage material can be stirred, the heat transfer in the heat storage material can be accelerated, and the heat storage amount in each part of the heat storage material can be made uniform.
In one embodiment, the disturbing member 310 is liftable with respect to the housing 210 to disturb the thermal storage material by being lifted. For example, a stirring piece is arranged at the lower end of the stirring piece 310, the driver 320 drives the stirring piece 310 to move up and down, and the heat storage material is stirred by pushing and pulling up and down, so that the heat storage material on the upper layer and the heat storage material on the lower layer can be uniformly stirred, and the heat storage amount of each part can be uniform more quickly.

referring to fig. 9, in the cooling mode of the air conditioner 100, the switch 160 is switched to the first state, the compressor 110 discharges the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the discharge pipe 111, and then the refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger 120 from the first pipe 102 to be liquefied, and the liquefied refrigerant enters the indoor heat exchanger 130 through the first throttling device 140 to be evaporated and cooled. Then, the gaseous refrigerant evaporated and discharged from the indoor heat exchanger 130 flows back to the compressor 110 through the second pipe 103, the switch 160, and the return pipe 112, and circulates again, thereby cooling the air. In this mode, the first control valve 170 is open and the second control valve 180 is closed.
Referring to fig. 10, in the heating mode of the air conditioner 100, the switch 160 is switched to the second state, the compressor 110 discharges the high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the exhaust pipe 111, and then the refrigerant enters the indoor heat exchanger 130 from the second pipe 103 to be liquefied, and the refrigerant is liquefied in the indoor heat exchanger 130 to release heat, thereby realizing heating; the liquefied liquid refrigerant enters the outdoor heat exchanger 120 through the first throttling device 140 to be evaporated; then, the gaseous refrigerant evaporated and discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger 120 flows back to the compressor 110 through the first pipe 102, the switch 160, and the return pipe 112, and circulates again, thereby achieving heating. In this mode, the first control valve 170 is open and the second control valve 180 is closed.
When the outdoor heat exchanger 120 is frosted in the heating mode, the state of the switch 160 remains unchanged, but the first control valve 170 is switched to the closed state and the second control valve 180 is switched to the open state, thereby switching the heating mode to the defrosting mode.
Referring to fig. 11, in the defrosting mode, the compressor 110 discharges a high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant from the exhaust pipe 111, and then enters the indoor heat exchanger 130 from the second pipe 103 to be liquefied, and part of the refrigerant is liquefied in the indoor heat exchanger 130 to release heat, so as to achieve heating; the refrigerant in the gas-liquid coexisting state flowing out of the indoor heat exchanger 130 enters the outdoor heat exchanger 120 through the defrosting pipe 103 and the second control valve 180 to be liquefied again, and the frost of the outdoor heat exchanger 120 is melted by the heat released by the liquefaction, so that the defrosting is realized; then, the liquid refrigerant liquefied and discharged from the outdoor heat exchanger 120 flows into the inlet connection pipe 232 of the air-conditioning heat storage apparatus 200 through the first pipe 102 and the switch 160, enters the refrigerant pipe 231 through the inlet connection pipe 232, exchanges heat with the heat storage material of the air-conditioning heat storage apparatus 200 therein, is gasified to form a gaseous refrigerant, and finally returns to the compressor 110 through the outlet connection pipe 233 and the return pipe 112 to be recirculated.
As can be seen from the above switching from the heating mode to the defrosting mode, during the switching process, the state of the switch 160 is not changed, the flow direction of the refrigerant in the refrigerant system of the air conditioner 100 is kept unchanged, the indoor heat exchanger 130 of the air conditioner 100 is kept in the heating state and is not changed into the cooling state, and the defrosting time can be shortened to within 3 minutes each time, so that the fluctuation of the indoor ambient temperature is about 1 ℃ and is not more than 2 ℃. For the undulant 6 ℃ of indoor ambient temperature that the defrosting mode that traditional air conditioner 100 need switch the refrigerant flow direction appears, the utility model discloses an air conditioner 100 can keep the fluctuation of indoor ambient temperature less, ensures that air conditioner 100 normally is indoor heat supply, improves air conditioner 100's comfort level, and user experience effect is better.
