As shown in fig. 1 to 5, the air conditioner of the present embodiment may generally include: refrigerant pipeline 200, electric control board 300, heat dissipation board 400 and capillary 500.

The refrigerant pipe 200 has a refrigerant flowing therein. An electric control device 310 which generates heat during operation is arranged on the electric control board 300. One side of the heat dissipation plate 400 is attached to the electronic control board 300 to conduct heat generated by the electronic control device 310 to the entire heat dissipation plate 400. The capillary tube 500 is at least partially attached to the other side of the heat sink 400 and is serially disposed in the refrigerant pipeline 200, and the refrigerant takes heat of the heat sink 400 away when flowing through the capillary tube 500.

The capillary 500 is at least partially attached to the other side of the heat sink 400, that is, a part of the capillary 500 may be attached to the other side of the heat sink 400, or the whole capillary 500 may be attached to the other side of the heat sink 400. In a preferred embodiment, the capillary 500 can be completely attached to the other side of the heat dissipation plate 400, so that the heat dissipation plate 400 can be dissipated to the maximum extent, the electric control device 310 is cooled, and the heat dissipation and cooling effects are effectively improved.

As shown in fig. 4, the refrigerant pipeline 200 is provided with: a compressor 220, a four-way valve 230, a first heat exchanger 240, and a second heat exchanger 250, and a capillary tube 500 is disposed between the first heat exchanger 240 and the second heat exchanger 250. Generally, an air conditioner includes an indoor unit 100 and an outdoor unit (not shown), and a first heat exchanger 240 is disposed in the outdoor unit and a second heat exchanger 250 is disposed in the indoor unit 100.

In a specific embodiment, when the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the refrigerant flows through the compressor 220, the four-way valve 230, the first heat exchanger 240, the capillary tube 500, and the second heat exchanger 250 in sequence. When the air conditioner is operated in the heating mode, the refrigerant sequentially flows through the compressor 220, the four-way valve 230, the second heat exchanger 250, the capillary tube 500, and the first heat exchanger 240.

Solid arrows in fig. 4 indicate the flow direction of the refrigerant when the air conditioner is operating in the cooling mode, and broken arrows indicate the flow direction of the refrigerant when the air conditioner is operating in the heating mode. The following describes specific changes of the refrigerant when the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode and the heating mode.

When the air conditioner operates in a refrigeration mode, a refrigerant is sucked by the compressor 220 in a gaseous state, the high-temperature and high-pressure steam is compressed to enter the first heat exchanger 240, the refrigerant is condensed into a high-temperature and high-pressure liquid and flows to the capillary tube 500, the heat of the heat dissipation plate 400 is taken away, the electric control device 310 is cooled, the refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction is changed into a low-temperature and low-pressure gas-liquid mixture to enter the second heat exchanger 250, the heat in the air is absorbed, the refrigerant is vaporized, and the low-pressure superheated steam is changed into low-pressure superheated steam and is sucked back by the compressor 220.

When the air conditioner operates in a heating mode, the refrigerant is sucked by the compressor 220 in a gaseous state, the steam compressed into high-temperature high-pressure steam enters the second heat exchanger 250, the refrigerant is condensed into high-temperature high-pressure liquid and flows to the capillary tube 500, the heat of the heat dissipation plate 400 is taken away, the electric control device 310 is cooled, the refrigerant after throttling and pressure reduction is changed into a low-temperature low-pressure gas-liquid mixture and enters the first heat exchanger 240, the heat in the air is absorbed, the refrigerant is vaporized, and the refrigerant is changed into low-pressure superheated steam and is sucked back by the compressor 220.

It should be noted that four-way valve 230 can be configured to: the flow direction of the refrigerant is switched. That is, the flow direction of the refrigerant can be changed by adjusting the four-way valve 230 under different conditions of the air conditioner in the cooling mode and the heating mode. When the air conditioner operates in a cooling mode, the four-way valve 230 communicates a path from the outlet of the compressor 220 to the inlet of the first heat exchanger 240, and a path from the outlet of the second heat exchanger 250 to the inlet of the compressor 220. When the air conditioner is operated in a heating mode, the four-way valve 230 communicates a path from the outlet of the compressor 220 to the inlet of the second heat exchanger 250 and a path from the outlet of the first heat exchanger 240 to the inlet of the compressor 220.

However, regardless of whether the air conditioner is operated in the cooling mode or the heating mode, the refrigerant flows from the first heat exchanger 240 to the capillary tube 500 or from the second heat exchanger 250 to the capillary tube 500, and absorbs heat when flowing through the capillary tube 500, so as to take away heat of the heat dissipation plate 400 and cool the electronic control device 310. The air conditioner of this embodiment, through setting up capillary 500 to a simple structure realizes effectively dispelling the heat to the automatically controlled device 310 of air conditioner, avoids taking great space, guarantees the radiating effect when effectively practicing thrift the cost.

As shown in fig. 2, an electric control board 300 in the air conditioner is provided with an electric control device 310 that generates heat during operation. In one particular embodiment, electronically controlled device 310 is a device having a power switch. For example, the electric control component can be an IPM, an IGBT or other high-power device. The IPM not only integrates the power switching device and the driving circuit, but also integrates therein fault detection circuits such as overvoltage, overcurrent, and overheat, and can send detection signals to the CPU. The high-speed low-power-consumption gate driver circuit consists of a high-speed low-power-consumption die, an optimized gate driver circuit and a quick protection circuit. IPM generally uses an IGBT as a power switching element and an integrated structure in which a current sensor and a driver circuit are integrated. The IGBT is a composite full-control voltage-driven power semiconductor device consisting of a BJT (bipolar junction transistor) and an MOS (metal oxide semiconductor), namely a bipolar transistor and an insulated gate field effect transistor, and has the advantages of high input impedance and low conduction voltage drop.

Also, in a specific embodiment, the electronic control Board 300 may be a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fabricated by electronic printing. Printed circuit boards may also be referred to as printed circuit boards, printed wiring boards. The PCB is a support for the electronic control device 310 as an important electronic component, and is also a carrier for electrical connection of the electronic control device 310. The electronic control device 310 can be distributed at different positions of the electronic control board 300, and a heat generating area is formed on the electronic control board 300 during operation. In a specific embodiment, the IPM can be used as a variable frequency driving power switch of an air conditioner, and the temperature of the heat generating area on the electronic control board 300 can reach 100 ℃ when the air conditioner is in high frequency operation. The high temperature may affect the high frequency operation of the air conditioner and affect the performance of the air conditioner.

The air conditioner of the present embodiment can effectively solve the above-mentioned heat dissipation problem by providing the heat dissipation plate 400 and the capillary tube 500. As mentioned above, the heat dissipation plate 400 can conduct the heat generated by the electric control device 310 to the whole heat dissipation plate 400, and in a specific embodiment, the heat dissipation plate 400 can be a temperature equalization plate, which can effectively increase the heat dissipation speed. As shown in fig. 3, a sintering heat pipe 420 may be embedded in one side of the heat dissipation plate 400, and a region of the heat dissipation plate 400 where a partial pipe section of the sintering heat pipe 420 is located is attached to a heat generation region on the electronic control board 300, so as to conduct heat generated by the heat generation region to the entire heat dissipation plate 400. Wherein, part of the pipe sections of the sintered heat pipe 420 can be the middle pipe section thereof, and at the moment, the heat is conducted from the middle pipe section of the sintered heat pipe 420 to the pipe sections at the two ends; part of the pipe section of the sintered heat pipe 420 may also be one end of the pipe sections at both ends thereof, and at this time, heat is conducted from the end of the sintered heat pipe 420 to the other end, and both of these two ways can conduct heat generated in the heating region to the entire heat dissipation plate 400, so that the heat dissipation plate 400 can achieve rapid temperature equalization.

The heat pipe utilizes the phase change process of medium evaporation at the hot end and then condensation at the cold end (namely, utilizes the latent heat of evaporation and the latent heat of condensation of liquid) to quickly conduct heat. A typical heat pipe may consist of a shell, a wick, and end caps. The interior of the heat pipe is pumped into a negative pressure state and filled with liquid with a low boiling point so as to be easy to volatilize. The tube wall has a wick that is constructed of a capillary porous material. Generally, one part of the heat pipe is used as an evaporation section, the other part is used as a condensation section, when the evaporation section of the heat pipe is heated, the liquid in the capillary 500 is rapidly vaporized, the vapor flows to the condensation section under the power of heat diffusion, the heat is released at the condensation section, the liquid flows back to the evaporation end along the porous material by virtue of the capillary action, and the circulation is not stopped until the temperatures at the two ends of the heat pipe are equal (at the moment, the heat diffusion of the vapor is stopped). This cycle is rapid and heat can be conducted away from the heat source.

The heat pipe in this embodiment may be a sintered heat pipe 420, and the capillary structure is made by sintering copper powder at high temperature. The capillary permeability of each portion of the sintered heat pipe 420 is substantially the same and the copper powder agglomerates are distributed with a substantially uniform thickness.

The heat conduction performance of the heat pipe is also influenced by the size of the heat pipe, and the heat conduction performance of the heat pipes with different diameters is greatly different. The length of the heat pipe is 150mm, and the thermal resistance value of the heat pipe with the diameter of 3mm is 0.33. And at a diameter of 5mm, the thermal resistance immediately dropped to 0.11. When the diameter of the heat pipe is enlarged to 8mm, the thermal resistance is suddenly reduced to 0.0625. Preferably, the diameter of the sintered heat pipe 420 of the present embodiment may be 6mm or 8mm to reduce thermal resistance and improve heat conduction efficiency. The above specific values are merely examples, and the length and the diameter of the heat pipe may be selected according to the amount of heat to be dissipated and the size of the heat dissipation area in the specific embodiment, which is not a limitation of the present invention.

The heat dissipating plate 400 in the air conditioner of this embodiment may utilize the sintering heat pipe 420 to conduct the heat with large heat flux density in the micro area of the heating area on the electric control board 300 to the whole heat dissipating plate 400, so as to achieve rapid temperature equalization and provide a precondition for the next effective heat dissipation. In a specific embodiment, since the heat conduction efficiency of the metal aluminum is high and the cost is low, the heat dissipation plate 400 may be made of an aluminum plate, a plurality of grooves 410 are further formed on one side of the heat dissipation plate 400, and the sintering heat pipe 420 is welded in the grooves 410. The sintered heat pipe 420 is a flat heat pipe or a semicircular heat pipe, and a part of the pipe wall of the sintered heat pipe is flush with the surface of the heat dissipation plate 400, so that the heat dissipation plate 400 is reliably attached to the electronic control board 300, and the other part of the pipe wall is matched with the groove 410 in shape. The plurality of grooves 410 may be uniformly spaced to further increase the temperature equalization rate.

As shown in fig. 5, at least a partial region of the capillary tube 500 is attached to the other side of the heat dissipation plate 400, and the refrigerant exchanges heat with the heat dissipation plate 400 when flowing through the capillary tube 500, thereby taking away heat of the heat dissipation plate 400 and cooling the electronic control device 310. The refrigerant is a substance that easily absorbs heat to become gas and easily releases heat to become liquid. When the refrigerant is pressed, the heat is released and changed into liquid; when the high-pressure liquid is decompressed into gas, the gas absorbs heat. The air conditioner of this embodiment utilizes this characteristic of refrigerant, flows through capillary 500 through the refrigerant to make capillary 500 throttle the decompression to the refrigerant, absorb the heat of heating panel 400, realize the cooling to heating panel 400 and electrically controlled device 310. The capillary tubes 500 are serially connected in the refrigerant pipeline 200, the refrigerant of the air conditioner is used for heat dissipation, an additional heat dissipation device is avoided, the occupied space is reduced, the cost is saved, the heat dissipation efficiency is improved, and the operation reliability and the working efficiency of the air conditioner are guaranteed.

As shown in fig. 5, one side of the heat sink 400 is attached to the electronic control board 300, and the capillary 500 is attached to the other side of the heat sink 400. In a preferred embodiment, one side of the heat dissipation plate 400 is attached to the electronic control board 300 through an interface heat-conducting medium, and the capillary 500 is also attached to the other side of the heat dissipation plate 400 through an interface heat-conducting medium. Specifically, the area of the heat dissipation plate 400 where the partial pipe sections of the sintered heat pipe 420 are located is attached to the heat generation area on the electronic control board 300 through the interface heat conducting medium. The interface heat-conducting medium is coated between the heat dissipation plate 400 and the electric control plate 300 and between the capillary 500 and the heat dissipation plate 400, so that gaps between contact surfaces are filled, heat conduction is smoother by utilizing the excellent heat-conducting effect of the interface heat-conducting medium, and the gaps are prevented from hindering the heat conduction. The interface heat-conducting medium can be heat-conducting silica gel, heat-conducting silicone grease, metal heat-conducting fins, graphite heat-conducting films and other materials. Since the heat-conducting silica gel has more insulating ability than the electrically conductive heat-conducting silicone grease, the metal heat-conducting sheet, the graphite heat-conducting film, and the like, the interface heat-conducting medium of the embodiment is preferably the heat-conducting silica gel.

In addition, a heat insulating layer may cover a side of the capillary 500 not attached to the heat sink 400 to insulate external heat and prevent the capillary 500 from heat exchange with an external environment. Wherein the heat preservation layer can be formed by heat preservation cotton. The area of the heat sink 400 may be smaller than or equal to the area of the capillary 500 so that the heat sink 400 is completely covered by the capillary 500. Therefore, the other side of the whole heat dissipation plate 400 can be attached to at least partial area of the capillary 500, heat exchange between the whole heat dissipation plate 400 and the capillary 500 is realized, and the problem that the heat dissipation plate 400 cannot realize effective heat dissipation in partial area is avoided. In addition, the area of the heat dissipation plate 400 may be at least larger than the area of the heat generation area on the electronic control board 300, so that the heat dissipation area is increased, and the heat dissipation speed is increased.

In a preferred embodiment, the electronic control board 300 may be horizontally disposed, and a portion of the sintered heat pipe 420 attached to the heat generating region is used as an evaporation end, and a portion of the sintered heat pipe away from the evaporation end is used as a condensation end. That is, the sintered heat pipe 420 can quickly transfer high heat of the heat generating region on the electronic control board 300 from one section of the pipe to another section of the pipe, so that the heat dissipation board 400 can achieve quick temperature equalization.

In some alternative embodiments, the area of the heat dissipation plate 400 where the middle segment of the sintered heat pipe 420 is located may be attached to the heat generating area on the electronic control board 300, so that heat is conducted from the middle segment of the sintered heat pipe 420 to the two end segments. In addition, the area of the heat dissipation plate 400 where the pipe segment at one end of the heat pipe 420 is located may be attached to the heat generating area on the electronic control board 300, and at this time, heat is conducted from the end of the heat pipe 420 to the other end.

The air conditioner may further include: a first fan disposed opposite to the first heat exchanger 240; and a second fan disposed opposite to the second heat exchanger 250. Neither the first fan nor the second fan is shown in the drawings, and it should be noted that the first fan may be disposed in the outdoor unit to correspond to the first heat exchanger 240, and the second fan may be disposed in the cavity to correspond to the first heat exchanger 240. Taking the second fan as an example, when the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the refrigerant flows through the second heat exchanger 250 to absorb heat, so that the second fan can send out cold air through the air outlet 111, reduce the ambient temperature, and realize cooling. When the air conditioner operates in the cooling mode, the refrigerant flows through the second heat exchanger 250 to release heat, so that the second fan can send hot air out through the air outlet 111 to raise the ambient temperature, thereby realizing heating.
