The present embodiment provides an air conditioner that performs a cooling and heating cycle of the air conditioner by using a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. The cooling and heating cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation to cool or heat an indoor space.
The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, the compressor compresses the refrigerant gas in a high-temperature and high-pressure state, and the compressed refrigerant gas is discharged. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.
The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid-phase refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the refrigerant gas in a low-temperature and low-pressure state to the compressor. The evaporator can achieve a refrigerating effect by heat exchange with a material to be cooled using latent heat of evaporation of a refrigerant. The air conditioner can adjust the temperature of the indoor space throughout the cycle.
The outdoor unit of the air conditioner refers to a portion of a refrigeration cycle including a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger, and an outdoor fan, the indoor unit of the air conditioner includes a portion of an indoor heat exchanger and an indoor fan, and a throttling device (e.g., a capillary tube or an electronic expansion valve) may be provided in the indoor unit or the outdoor unit.
The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger serve as a condenser or an evaporator. The air conditioner performs a heating mode when the indoor heat exchanger serves as a condenser, and performs a cooling mode when the indoor heat exchanger serves as an evaporator.
The indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor heat exchanger are switched to be used as a condenser or an evaporator, a four-way valve is generally adopted, and specific reference is made to the arrangement of a conventional air conditioner, which is not described herein any more.
The refrigeration working principle of the air conditioner is as follows: the compressor works to enable the interior of the indoor heat exchanger (in the indoor unit, the evaporator at the moment) to be in an ultralow pressure state, liquid refrigerant in the indoor heat exchanger is rapidly evaporated to absorb heat, air blown out by the indoor fan is cooled by the coil pipe of the indoor heat exchanger to become cold air which is blown into a room, the evaporated and vaporized refrigerant is compressed by the compressor, is condensed into liquid in a high-pressure environment in the outdoor heat exchanger (in the outdoor unit, the condenser at the moment) to release heat, and the heat is dissipated into the atmosphere through the outdoor fan, so that the refrigeration effect is achieved by circulation.
The heating working principle of the air conditioner is as follows: the gaseous refrigerant is pressurized by the compressor to become high-temperature and high-pressure gas, and the high-temperature and high-pressure gas enters the indoor heat exchanger (the condenser at the moment), is condensed, liquefied and released heat to become liquid, and simultaneously heats indoor air, so that the aim of increasing the indoor temperature is fulfilled. The liquid refrigerant is decompressed by the throttling device, enters the outdoor heat exchanger (an evaporator at the moment), is evaporated, gasified and absorbs heat to form gas, absorbs the heat of outdoor air (the outdoor air becomes cooler) to form gaseous refrigerant, and enters the compressor again to start the next cycle.
Referring to fig. 1 to 4, according to some embodiments of the present disclosure, an air conditioner includes an outdoor unit including a casing 10, and a compressor 20, an outdoor heat exchanger 30, an outdoor fan 40, and an electrical box 50 disposed in the casing 10, wherein an electrical device 60 is disposed in the electrical box 50, and an air inlet 51, an air outlet 52, and an air guide duct 70 are disposed on the electrical box 50.
The compressor 20 is used for compressing a refrigerant, the outdoor heat exchanger 30 is used for flowing and heat exchanging of the refrigerant, and the compressor 20 and the outdoor heat exchanger 30 are connected with an indoor heat exchanger in the indoor unit of the air conditioner to form a refrigerating loop for flowing of the refrigerant.
The outdoor fan 40 is used for driving air to flow and exchange heat with the outdoor heat exchanger 30; the electric devices 60 in the electric box 50 are generally a driving module and an electric control module for controlling the operation of the compressor 20 and the outdoor fan 30, and are disposed on the bottom plate of the electric box 50 in a flat manner.
The induced air duct 70 is used for introducing air which is not subjected to heat exchange by the outdoor heat exchanger 30 into the electrical box 50, the induced air duct 70 is located outside the electrical box 50 and comprises a duct air inlet 71 and a duct air outlet 72, and the duct air outlet 72 is communicated with the air inlet 51 on the electrical box 50.
Specifically, the induced air duct 70 is equivalent to extending a part of the electrical box 50 outward, and by reasonably setting the shape of the induced air duct 70, the induced air duct can conveniently extend to an area capable of avoiding the heat exchanger in a relatively limited space of the outdoor unit casing, so that when the outdoor fan 40 works, the induced air which is not subjected to heat exchange by the outdoor heat exchanger 30 is guided, enters the induced air duct 70 through the air duct air inlet 71, and then enters the electrical box 50 through the air duct air outlet 72 and the air inlet 51, so that the temperature of the part of the air introduced into the electrical box 50 is relatively low, and the heat dissipation effect of the electrical device 60 can be improved.
In order to enable the induced air duct 70 to smoothly introduce low-temperature air that does not pass through the outdoor heat exchanger 30 and reduce space occupation as much as possible, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the induced air duct 70 includes an air inlet section 73 and an air outlet section 74 that are communicated with each other, an air duct air inlet 71 is disposed at a head end of the air inlet section 73, an air duct air outlet 72 is disposed at a tail end of the air outlet section 74, that is, the air duct air inlet 71 is an air inlet of the air inlet section 73, and the air duct air outlet 72 is an air outlet of the air outlet section 74; in addition, an included angle is formed between the air inlet section 73 and the air outlet section 74, that is, the induced air duct 70 is bent, so that the induced air duct 70 extends to an area capable of avoiding the heat exchanger in a relatively limited space of the outdoor unit casing, so as to smoothly introduce low-temperature air that does not pass through the outdoor heat exchanger 30.
The air duct inlet 71 and the air inlet 51 are both far away from the outdoor heat exchanger 30, so that the heat dissipation air entering the air duct inlet is low-temperature air which does not pass through the outdoor heat exchanger 30.
The air inlet 71 of the induced air duct 70 is formed with a grid 75, which may be a strip grid or a mesh grid, to prevent insects from entering the electrical box 50 through the induced air duct 70, thereby avoiding the electrical device 60 from being burned out due to short circuit.
The air guiding duct 70 and the sheet metal shell of the electrical box 50 are fixed by a buckle, so that the air guiding duct is convenient to disassemble and assemble. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, a plurality of first fastening portions (not shown) are disposed on the periphery of the air inlet 51, a plurality of second fastening portions 76 are correspondingly disposed on the periphery of the air duct outlet 71, and the first fastening portions and the second fastening portions 76 cooperate to fasten the air duct 70 to the sheet metal side plate of the electrical box 50. Wherein, first joint portion is the draw-in groove in this embodiment, and second joint portion 76 is the buckle, and induced air duct 70 can be the injection molding to second joint portion 76 injection moulding.
In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in fig. 3, the air inlet 51 and the air outlet 52 are located on a set of opposite side surfaces of the electrical box 50, so that the air inlet and the air outlet of the electrical box 50 are smooth, which is beneficial to increasing the wind speed and dissipating heat, in this embodiment, the electrical box 50 is rectangular, and the air inlet 51 and the air outlet 52 are located on two opposite side surfaces of the electrical box 50 that are far away from each other, so as to prolong the heat dissipation airflow circulation path and further improve the heat dissipation effect.
In some embodiments of the present application, the outdoor heat exchanger 30 is a U-shaped heat exchanger, and includes a left side portion 31 disposed corresponding to the left side plate of the casing 10, a rear side portion 32 disposed corresponding to the rear back plate of the casing 10, and a right side portion 33 disposed corresponding to the right side plate of the casing 10, the compressor 20, the outdoor fan 40, and the electrical box 50 are all located in the installation cavity 80 defined by the outdoor heat exchanger 30 and the front side plate of the casing 10, and the air inlet 71 is located at the front side of the left side portion or the right side portion.
Specifically, the outdoor heat exchanger 30 is a U-shaped heat exchanger, and each internal structural component and system pipeline of the outdoor unit are all arranged in the installation cavity 100, so that a middle partition plate can be omitted, the heat exchange area of the heat exchanger is increased, and the capacity is improved; meanwhile, the air duct inlet 71 is located at the front side of the left side portion 31 or the right side portion 33, so that non-heat exchange air can be introduced while avoiding the outdoor heat exchanger 30, air subjected to heat exchange by the outdoor heat exchanger 30 can be prevented from directly entering the electrical box 50 through the induced air duct 70, and the influence of the heat exchanger on the temperature rise of the electrical box is reduced, for example, the air duct inlet 71 of the induced air duct 70 can be specifically located at the front side of the right side portion 33 of the outdoor heat exchanger 30.
In some embodiments of the present application, for the electrical box 50, it is specifically located at the top of the casing 10 and above the outdoor fan 40, the air outlet 52 is located on the left side plate of the electrical box 50, and the air inlet 51 and the induced air duct 70 are located on the right side plate of the electrical box 50.
Further, as shown in fig. 3, the air inlet 51 and the induced air duct 70 are located at a front end of a right side plate of the electrical box 50, that is, near a front side plate of the electrical box 50, to be as far away from the outdoor heat exchanger as possible, to introduce the low-temperature heat-dissipating air that is not heat-exchanged by the outdoor heat exchanger 30; meanwhile, an additional air inlet 53 is formed on the front side plate of the electric appliance box 50. Therefore, when the outdoor fan 40 works, on one hand, air which is not subjected to heat exchange by the outdoor heat exchanger 30 enters the induced air duct 70 through the air duct air inlet 71 to dissipate heat of the electrical box 50; on the other hand, the additional air inlet 53 can introduce the heat dissipating air into the electrical box 50, and the heat dissipating air introduced from the air inducing duct 70 without heat exchange interacts with the heat dissipating air introduced from the additional air inlet 53, which is beneficial to increase the air speed entering the electrical box 50, thereby being beneficial to heat dissipation. The direction of the heat dissipation airflow at the electrical box 50 of the present embodiment is shown by the hollow arrow in fig. 1.
In addition, the top surface of the electrical box 50 is open and is provided with a box cover (not shown), the box cover is buckled and connected with the electrical box 50, and a gap is formed between the box cover and the electrical box 50, so that the air flow requirement and the rainproof and insect-proof requirements can be met; the box cover and the electrical box are connected in a buckling mode (for example, the matching of a buckle and a clamping groove) without being fixed by screws, and the disassembly is convenient.
