Referring to fig. 1 to 3, an integral air conditioner 1000 is provided according to an embodiment of the present invention. The unitary air conditioner 1000 includes a first heat exchanger 200, a second heat exchanger 300, a first water collector 400, a second water collector 500, and a water wheel 600. The first heat exchanger 200 and the second heat exchanger 300 are arranged oppositely, the second heat exchanger 300 comprises a first surface 31 and a second surface 32 which are opposite, and the first surface 31 faces to the side where the first heat exchanger 200 is located; the first water pan 400 is arranged below the first heat exchanger 200, the first water pan 400 is used for receiving the condensed water of the first heat exchanger 200 and guiding the condensed water to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32, the second water pan 500 is arranged below the second heat exchanger 300, and the second water pan 500 is used for receiving the condensed water left from the second heat exchanger 300; the water-fetching wheel 600 is arranged opposite to the second surface 32, and at least part of the water-fetching wheel 600 is arranged on the second water-receiving tray 500 so as to rotate and throw the condensed water in the second water-receiving tray 500 to the second surface 32.

In the integral air conditioner 1000 in the embodiment of the present application, the first water collector 400 guides the condensed water of the first heat exchanger 200 to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, and the water beating wheel 600 is at least partially disposed in the second water collector 500 to rotate and throw the condensed water flowing down from the second heat exchanger 300 received in the second water collector 500 to the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, so that both the first surface 31 and the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 can be sufficiently cooled, and the heat exchange efficiency of the second heat exchanger 300 is improved.

Particularly, with the progress of economic development and science and technology, the demand of window type air conditioners is gradually expanded in migratory people, and the window type air conditioners are also favored by more and more consumers due to the convenience and easiness in mounting, dismounting and carrying. Among them, the vertical window machine has become a mainstream direction, and it uses the double cross flow wind wheel wind channel to realize the design of low noise, large wind volume and large cooling capacity.

However, the vertical window machine is an integrated small machine, and the internal space of the vertical window machine is very crowded, so that the internal air duct and the waterway are very compact in design. Therefore, product development problems such as removal of condensed water of the heat exchanger in the vertical window machine, improvement of energy efficiency of the heat exchanger and the like become problems to be solved.

In view of this, the present application provides an integral air conditioner 1000, which fully utilizes the condensed water generated during the operation of the first heat exchanger 200 by improving the air and water duct system inside the integral air conditioner 1000, and guides the condensed water to the surface of the second heat exchanger 300 to assist the second heat exchanger 300 in heat dissipation, so as to improve the energy efficiency of the second heat exchanger 300, and simultaneously achieve the removal of the condensed water of the first heat exchanger 200 during the operation of the integral air conditioner 1000.

Specifically, the first heat exchanger 200 may be an evaporator, and the second heat exchanger 300 may be a condenser. It is understood that the first heat exchanger 200 and the second heat exchanger 300 both belong to heat exchangers. The first heat exchanger 200 and the second heat exchanger 300 work differently, the refrigerant of the first heat exchanger 200 changes from liquid state to gas state, and is an evaporation and heat absorption process; the second heat exchanger 300 absorbs the external heat, and the refrigerator changes from a gas state to a liquid state, which is a condensation heat release process. The first heat exchanger 200 is used as a heat absorbing part and is arranged in the integral air conditioner 1000 to achieve the refrigeration purpose; the second heat exchanger 300, as a heat radiating member, is installed in the unitary air conditioner 1000 to radiate heat to the outside.

The first heat exchanger 200 and the second heat exchanger 300 can be arranged oppositely, so that the air and water channel system between the first heat exchanger 200 and the second heat exchanger 300 can be designed reasonably, and the condensed water generated by the first heat exchanger 200 can play an auxiliary effect on the heat dissipation of the second heat exchanger 300.

The second heat exchanger 300 may comprise a first surface 31 and a second surface 32 which are opposite to each other, and after the installation is completed, the first surface 31 of the second heat exchanger 300 faces to the side where the first heat exchanger 200 is located, that is, the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 is an outer surface which faces away from the side where the first heat exchanger 200 is located.

During the operation of the first heat exchanger 200, condensed water may be generated, and then the condensed water of the first heat exchanger 200 may be guided to the second heat exchanger 300 to assist the heat dissipation of the second heat exchanger 300, so as to improve the energy efficiency of the second heat exchanger 300. Therefore, the integral air conditioner 1000 further comprises the first water pan 400, the first water pan 400 can be made of plastic, or the first water pan 400 can be formed by an injection molding process, so that the manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low; of course, the first water receiving tray 400 can also be made of other composite materials, so that the first water receiving tray 400 has better durability; the first water pan 400 may be configured to receive condensed water generated during operation of the first heat exchanger 200, and guide the condensed water to the second heat exchanger 300, that is, the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 for auxiliary heat dissipation.

Then, the first water pan 400 may be disposed below the first heat exchanger 200, so that the first water pan 400 may receive the condensed water of the first heat exchanger 200; the first water receiving tray 400 is further provided with a corresponding guiding structure, so that the condensed water generated by the first heat exchanger 200 can be guided to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 through the guiding structure, so that the condensed water primarily dissipates heat of the second heat exchanger 300.

It is understood that, in one embodiment, the first heat exchanger 200 is disposed at a higher height than the second heat exchanger 300 in the unitary air conditioner 1000, and depending on the specific shape and length of the guide structure, the condensed water generated by the first heat exchanger 200 may be guided to the first surface 31 or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, or may be guided to flow down to the first surface 31 and the second surface 32 at the same time.

In the embodiment shown in fig. 1 and 2 of the present application, the bottom of the first heat exchanger 200 is disposed at a lower height than the top of the second heat exchanger 300 in the integral type air conditioner 1000, and the first surface 31 of the second heat exchanger 300 faces the first heat exchanger 200, and the condensed water generated by the first heat exchanger 200 cannot be guided to the second surface 32 through the guiding structure.

Then, in order to better improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the second heat exchanger 300, a water path system is additionally designed to sufficiently dissipate the heat of the second surface 32 by using the condensed water guided to the second heat exchanger 300. At this time, the integral air conditioner 1000 is also required to be provided with a second water pan 500, the second water pan 500 can be made of plastic, or the second water pan 500 can be formed by an injection molding process, so that the manufacturing process is simple and the cost is low; of course, the second water receiving tray 500 may also be made of other composite materials, so that the second water receiving tray 500 has better durability. Since the second water-receiving tray 500 needs to receive the condensed water flowing down from the second heat exchanger 300, the second water-receiving tray 500 may be disposed below the first water-receiving tray 400, and further, the second water-receiving tray 500 may be disposed below the second heat exchanger 300.

In order to utilize the condensed water stored in the second water receiving tray 500 and flowing down from the second heat exchanger 300, the integral air conditioner 1000 further needs to be provided with a water beating wheel 600, the water beating wheel 600 may be disposed opposite to the second surface 32, and at least a portion of the water beating wheel 600 may be disposed in the second water receiving tray 500, so that the condensed water in the second water receiving tray 500 may be thrown to the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 through the rotation of the water beating wheel 600, so that the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 is sufficiently cooled.

Therefore, the condensed water generated in the working process of the first heat exchanger 200 is fully used for assisting the second heat exchanger 300 to dissipate heat through the first water pan 400, the second water pan 500 and the water beating wheel 600. When the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 are/is assisted to dissipate heat by using the condensed water generated by the first heat exchanger 200 for the first time, the condensed water which is not fully utilized flows downwards from the second heat exchanger 300 and is collected into the second water receiving tray 500, and the condensed water is beaten up by the water beating wheel 600 at least partially arranged in the second water receiving tray 500 and is evenly thrown to the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, so that both surfaces of the second heat exchanger 300 can be wetted and cooled by the condensed water in a large area, the heat dissipation of the second heat exchanger 300 is greatly assisted, and the heat exchange energy efficiency of the whole integrated air conditioner 1000 is improved.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3 again, in some embodiments, the first water receiving tray 400 may be provided with a first water receiving tank 41 and a first water guiding tank 42. The first water receiving tray 400 may be located below the first heat exchanger 200, one end of the first water chute 42 may be communicated with the first water receiving chute 41, and the other end of the first water chute 42 may be connected to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32.

In this way, by arranging the first water pan 400 below the first heat exchanger 200, the first water receiving tank 41 arranged on the first water pan 400 can receive condensed water generated in the working process of the first heat exchanger 200; the first water chute 42 can guide the condensed water collected in the first water chute 41 by communicating one end of the first water chute 42 with the first water chute 41; the second heat exchanger 300 is cooled over a large area by connecting the other end of the first guide groove to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 so that the first guide groove can finally guide the condensed water to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300.

Specifically, as can be seen from fig. 1 to 3, the first water pan 400 may be located at a middle position of the overall height of the air conditioner, the first water pan 400 is provided with a first water receiving tank 41, and the first heat exchanger 200 may be partially disposed in the first water receiving tank 41, so that condensed water generated on the surface of the first heat exchanger 200 during operation of the first heat exchanger 200 may flow downward into the first water receiving tank 41. In particular, the first water receiving tray 400 may be inclined at a certain angle with respect to the integral air conditioner 1000, so that the condensed water received in the first water receiving tank 41 is in a flowing state, and the accumulated water in the first water receiving tank 41 is avoided.

And, the first water receiving tray 400 is provided with a first water chute 42 vertically communicated with the first water receiving tank 41 at the middle of the first water receiving tank 41 on a horizontal plane, or the first water chute 42 is horizontally and vertically communicated with the first water receiving tank 41, and in addition, the other end of the first water chute 42 is also connected with the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, so that the first water chute 42 can guide the condensed water received in the first water receiving tank 41 to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, and assist the second heat exchanger 300 in heat dissipation.

It is understood that the specific connection manner of the end of the first water chute 42 away from the first water chute 41 and the two surfaces of the second heat exchanger 300 may be determined according to the length and the arrangement position of the first water chute 42. For example, when the overall installation height of the first heat exchanger 200 is greater than that of the second heat exchanger 300, one end of the first water chute 42 may be connected to the first surface 31, or to the second surface 32, or to both surfaces; when the installation height of the first heat exchanger 200 is not entirely higher than the installation height of the second heat exchanger 300, one end of the first water chute 42 is connected to the first surface 31.

Referring to fig. 1 to 3, in some embodiments, the lower end of the first heat exchanger 200 may be disposed in the first water receiving tank 41. Thus, the first water receiving tank 41 can accommodate the first heat exchanger 200, and can receive condensed water generated on the surface of the first heat exchanger 200 during the operation of the first heat exchanger 200, so that the condensed water can flow downwards into the first water receiving tank 41.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, in some embodiments, the first water receiving tray 400 may further include a second water receiving tank 43 and a second water guiding tank 44. The second water receiving trough 43 is located below the indoor air outlet 13 of the unitary air conditioner 1000 to receive the condensed water generated by the indoor air outlet 13, and the second water guiding trough 44 is communicated with the second water receiving trough 43 and guides the condensed water in the second water receiving trough 43 to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32.

In this way, the second water receiving groove 43 and the second water guiding groove 44 can be matched to fully utilize the condensed water generated at the indoor air outlet 13 to assist the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 in heat dissipation, so as to further improve the heat dissipation efficiency of the second heat exchanger 300.

Specifically, the up, down, left, right, etc. orientations referred to in this application are shown in fig. 2. As can be seen from fig. 1, the front panel 11 at the side of the first heat exchanger 200 has an indoor air outlet 13, and an indoor air duct 141 is arranged at a side of the second heat exchanger 300 and communicates with the indoor air outlet 13. As can be seen from fig. 3 and 4, a second water receiving tank 43 for receiving the condensed water generated inside the indoor air outlet 13 is disposed below the indoor air outlet 13, and a second water guiding tank 44 is communicated with the second water receiving tank 43 and extends toward the rear of the integral air conditioner 1000, and the second water guiding tank 44 can guide the condensed water generated around the indoor air outlet 13 to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 disposed at the rear of the integral air conditioner 1000, so that the condensed water generated at the indoor air outlet 13 can also be fully utilized to assist the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 to dissipate heat.

Specifically, referring to fig. 2, 4 and 5, the second water chute 44 is located below the indoor air duct 141, the air duct 14 system in the present application is composed of the indoor air duct 141 and the outdoor air duct 142, and a portion of the back of the indoor air duct 141 is communicated with the outdoor air duct 142.

In the duct 14 of the communicating portion, the indoor duct 141 is partially flowed through the low-temperature cool air cooled by the first heat exchanger 200, and the rear portion of the indoor duct 141 is the high-temperature air of the outdoor ambient temperature and humidity sucked by the outdoor duct 142. The back of the indoor air duct 141 shown in fig. 5 is just the cold-hot junction area P of the low-temperature cold air and the high-temperature hot air, and if the partition between the indoor air duct 141 and the outdoor air duct 142 is made of a conventional thermal insulation material such as foam, sponge, etc., the degree of cold-hot junction can be reduced to some extent, but cannot be completely blocked; however, the cold-hot junction at the back of the indoor air duct 141 can rapidly reduce the moisture content of the outdoor air sucked from the outdoor air duct 142 at the junction, rapidly separate out the water in the air, and cause the back of the indoor air duct 141 to generate a large amount of condensed water, and if the air duct 14 is made of foam, the strength of the air duct 14 is also greatly reduced.

Therefore, two water paths are provided in the present application, that is, the first water chute 42 and the second water chute 44 are provided to be respectively located at two sides of the cold and hot intersection region P, so that even if a large amount of condensed water is generated due to cold and hot intersection, the condensed water does not overflow to other regions, but the condensed water can only be respectively converged to the inside of the first water chute 42 and the inside of the second water chute 44 along the surface of the first water pan 400, so that the communication part of the indoor air duct 141 and the outdoor air duct 142 can be collected, that is, the condensed water generated due to the back cold and hot intersection of the indoor air duct 141, the condensed water is prevented from flowing out of the integral air conditioner 1000 to pollute the indoor environment and cause poor user experience, and the other regions of the integral air conditioner 1000 are completely in a dry state.

Referring again to fig. 2, in some embodiments, the second drip pan 500 may be provided with a reservoir 51, and the water pouring wheel 600 may be partially located in the reservoir 51. In this manner, the reservoir 51 may collect the condensed water that is not fully utilized by the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32, and the reservoir 51 may further receive the water-pouring wheel 600, such that the water-pouring wheel 600 may throw the condensed water collected by the reservoir 51 to the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 for reuse.

Specifically, the second water pan 500 may be a chassis of the unitary air conditioner 1000, and a water storage tank 51 is disposed on the second water pan 500, and the water storage tank 51 may be located below the second heat exchanger 300. When the first water chute 42 and the second water chute 44 guide the condensed water generated on the surface of the first heat exchanger 200 and the condensed water generated at the indoor air outlet 13, and the condensed water generated by the cold-heat exchange in the indoor air duct 141 and the outdoor air duct 142 to the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300, respectively, the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 cannot fully utilize the condensed water, so that a part of the unused condensed water flows down along the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 and finally is collected in the water storage tank 51.

In order to utilize the condensed water collected in the water storage tank 51, the water turbine 600 may be partially disposed in the water storage tank 51, and as can be seen from fig. 2 and 3, the water turbine 600 is disposed opposite to the second surface 32 and between the second surface 32 of the second heat exchanger 300 and the rear panel 12 of the unitary air conditioner 1000, so that the condensed water in the water storage tank 51 may be thrown to the second surface 32 by the movement of the water turbine 600, which further assists the second heat exchanger 300 in dissipating heat, and improves the heat dissipation efficiency of the second heat exchanger 300.

Referring to fig. 2 and 4, in some embodiments, a surface of the paddling wheel 600 perpendicular to the axial direction thereof may form an included angle θ with the second surface 32. In this manner, the water pumped by the pumping wheel 600 can be better and more sufficiently splashed onto the second surface 32 when the water flies along the edge of the wheel of the pumping wheel 600.

Specifically, the second water receiving tray 500 is provided with a water storage tank 51, and the water storage tank 51 can be used for collecting condensed water which is not fully utilized by the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32 and flows down along the first surface 31 and/or the second surface 32.
