Description

The disclosure claims priority of Chinese Patent Application No. 201510579470.2, filed on September 11, 2015 and named after "combined volute blower structure and vertical air conditioner", the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.

In the following detailed descriptions about the disclosure, some specific details are described. Those skilled in the art may completely understand the disclosure without the descriptions about these details. For avoiding confusion of the essence of the disclosure, known methods, processes, flows and elements are not described in detail.

The disclosure designs a combined volute blower structure of air conditioning equipment, which comprises a mounting plate 4 and multiple volute blowers. The air conditioning equipment specifically refers to electrical equipment with an air blowing function and capable of regulating an indoor air parameter such as a vertical air conditioner, a blower and an air purifier. As shown in Fig. 1-3, the air conditioning equipment is provided with a housing 5, and a top air outlet 53 is formed in an upper part of the housing 5, preferably in the top; a bottom air outlet 54 is formed in a lower part of the housing 5, preferably in a base at a bottom of the housing 5; and the housing comprises a front panel 51 and a rear panel 55, and a hollow chamber is enclosed between the front panel 51 and the rear panel 55. The combined volute blower structure is provided in the hollow chamber, and mainly consists of the mounting plate 4 and the multiple volute blowers, and its specific structure will be described hereinafter in detail. The combined volute blower structure is provided in the hollow chamber along a top-bottom direction, and volutes are provided in front of the mounting plate 4, and are opposite to a position of the front panel 51. The mounting plate 4 divides the hollow chamber into two independent parts, a space between a rear side of the mounting plate 4 and the rear panel 55 forms an air inlet duct 57, the air inlet duct 57 is communicated with an air inlet grid positioned on the rear panel 55, and as a preferred solution, a heat exchange mechanism such as an evaporator is also provided in the air inlet duct 57. A space between a front side of the mounting plate 4 and the front panel 51 forms a main body air duct 56 of the air conditioning equipment, and the main body air duct 56 is communicated with the top air outlet 53 and the bottom air outlet 54 respectively. A mounting plate air inlet is formed in a position corresponding to mounting positions of the volute on the mounting plate 4, the position of the mounting plate air inlet is opposite to positions of volute air inlets, and volute air outlets are communicated with the main body air duct 56. When the air conditioning equipment works, air enters the air inlet duct 57 after passing through the air inlet grid on the rear panel 55, then enters the volute air inlets through the mounting plate air inlet, is supplied to the main body air duct 56 through the volute air outlets after being accelerated by centrifugal fans of the volute blowers, and may move downwards in the main body air duct 56 to be blown from the bottom air outlet 54 and/or move upwards to be blown from the top air outlet 53.
The combined volute blower structure of the disclosure comprises the mounting plate and at least three volute blowers mounted on a front lateral surface of the mounting plate, the at least three volute blowers comprise an upper volute blower positioned at the upper part and provided with an air outlet blowing air upwards and a lower volute blower positioned at the lower part and provided with an air outlet blowing air downwards, and further comprise at least one middle volute blower provided between the upper volute blower and the lower volute blower, the at least one middle volute blower comprises at least one bidirectional volute blower, the bidirectional volute blower is provided with a bidirectional air outlet simultaneously blowing air upwards and downwards, and the bidirectional air outlet is staggered from the volute blower adjacent to the bidirectional volute blower in a front-back direction. The at least one middle volute blower may be a combination of a bidirectional volute blower and a volute blower unidirectionally blowing air, and may also be all bidirectional volute blower. A specific manner for staggering the bidirectional air outlet from the volute blower adjacent to the bidirectional volute blower in the front-back direction may be staggering the volute blower in the front-back direction, setting the bidirectional air outlet to blow air obliquely and a combination of the two manners, and a specific structure will be described below in detail.
The combined volute blower structure of the disclosure will be described below in detail with Fig. 3-18 as an example. As shown in Fig. 5-7, the combined volute blower structure comprises a mounting plate 4 and three volute blowers (called as blowers for short hereinafter). The three volute blowers comprise a first blower 1 provided on an upper side of the mounting plate 4, a third blower 3 provided on a lower side of the mounting plate 4 and a second blower 2 provided on the mounting plate 4 and positioned between the first blower 1 and the third blower 3, wherein the first blower 1 is provided with a first blower air outlet 18 blowing air upwards; the third blower is provided with a third blower air outlet 39 blowing air downwards; and the second blower is provided with two air outlets, wherein a second blower first air outlet 28 is formed to blow air upwards, and a second blower second air outlet 29 is formed to blow air downwards. It is important to note that: although the mounting plate is provided in a top-bottom direction in the embodiment and the three volute blowers are also provided in the top-bottom direction, the technical solution of the disclosure should not be limited to such a mounting plate structure provided in the top-bottom direction, the mounting plate may be horizontally provided or obliquely provided, and top-down, left-right and front-back mentioned in the disclosure are relative directions relative to the mounting plate.
The second blower 2 is provided between the first blower 1 and the third blower 3, and the air outlets are formed to blow air upwards and downwards. If the three blowers are mounted on the same plane according to a conventional manner, a volute of the first blower 1 and a volute of the third blower 3 may block outlet air of the second blower 2 to hinder air blown by the second blower 2 from smoothly entering a main body air duct 56. Therefore, the three blowers are provided into a spatially staggered structure, and the second blower first air outlet 28 and the second blower second air outlet 29 are spatially staggered from positions of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 to reduce influence of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 on the outlet air of the second blower 2 as maximally as possible. For example, the three blowers are staggered in the front-back direction and/or the left-right direction.
As a preferred implementation mode, as shown in Fig. 6, a manner of staggering the three blowers in the front-back direction is adopted. Specifically, a mounting position of the second blower 2 on the mounting plate is provided on a front side of mounting positions of the first and third blowers, that is, an providement position of the second blower 2 is closer to the main body air duct 56 than providement positions of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3, so that the outlet air of the second blower 2 in the top-bottom direction may be at least partially avoided from interference of the volute of the first blower 1 and the volute of the third blower 3, and is supplied from the main body air duct 56 more smoothly. Preferably, arranging the mounting position of the second blower 2 on the mounting plate 4 on the front side of the mounting positions of the first and third blowers is implemented by changing a shape of the mounting plate 4. As shown in Fig. 6-8, a first blower mounting part 41, a second blower mounting part 42 and a third blower mounting part 43 are provided on the mounting plate, wherein steps are formed between the second blower mounting part 42 and each of the first blower mounting part 41 and the third blower mounting part 43, so that the second blower mounting part 42 protrudes towards a direction of a front panel 51 in front compared with the first blower mounting part 41 and the third blower mounting part 43, and the mounting position of the second blower 2 on the mounting plate 4 is provided on the front side of the mounting positions of the first and third blowers when the three blowers are mounted on the mounting plate 4 under the condition that shapes of the three blowers are kept unchanged. Staggering in the front-back direction has the advantages that a width of a volute blower component in the left-right direction is prevented from being increased, only a thickness in the front-back direction is increased to a certain extent and influence on an overall dimension of an air conditioning device is less. As a preferred mode, inner surfaces of rear walls of the second blower first air outlet 28 and the second blower second air outlet 29 may be planes parallel to the mounting plate, and extended surfaces of the planes are not intersected with the volutes of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 respectively. Therefore, the outlet air of the second blower 2 may be prevented from being blown onto the volutes of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3, and the influence of the volutes of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 on the outlet air of the second blower 2 is maximally reduced.
A manner of staggering the three blowers in the left-right direction may also be adopted (not shown in the figures). That is, arranging the second blower 2 on a left side or right side of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 may also reduce the interference of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 to the outlet air of the second blower 2. However, such a manner may greatly increase the width of the volute blower component in the left-right direction, and is unfavorable for overall layout of the air conditioning device.
As another preferred implementation mode, the second blower first air outlet 28 and second blower second air outlet 29 of the second blower 2 may also be formed to be inclined relative to a volute of the second blower 2. For example, as shown in Fig. 3-6, in a practical mounting state, the volute of the second blower 2 is mounted approximately parallel to the plane of the second blower mounting part 42 of the mounting plate 4. As shown in Fig. 3, a volute plane of the second blower 2 extends approximately in the top-bottom direction. The second blower first air outlet 28 and the second blower second air outlet 29 are formed to extend from a direction from the mounting plate 4 and the front panel 51 (i.e. the front-back direction) to a direction far away from the volute. Specifically, the second blower first air outlet 28 is formed to blow air towards an upper front direction, and the second blower second air outlet 29 is formed to blow air towards a lower front direction. Referring to Fig. 6, 10 and 11, the second blower first air outlet 28 comprises a second blower first air outlet rear wall inner surface 282 close to the second blower mounting part 42 and a second blower first air outlet front wall inner wall 281 close to the front panel 51, the second blower first air outlet front wall inner wall 281 may be an inclined surface or an arched surface, and an extended surface 2811 of a tangent surface of the inclined surface of the arched surface forms a first inclination angle θ1 with a plane of the mounting plate 42; and the second blower first air outlet rear wall inner surface 282 may be an inclined surface or an arched surface, and an extended surface 2821 of the inclined surface or the arched surface forms a second inclination angle θ2 with the plane of the mounting plate 4. Sizes of the first inclination angle θ1 and the second inclination angle θ2 may be the same or different. The second blower second air outlet 29 is provided with a second blower second air outlet rear wall inner surface 292 close to the second blower mounting part 42 and a second blower second air outlet front wall inner wall 291 close to the front panel 51, and the second blower second air outlet front wall inner wall 291 may be an inclined surface or an arched surface, and a tangent surface direction 2911 of the inclined surface of the arched surface forms a third inclination angle θ3 with the plane of the mounting plate 4; and the second blower second air outlet rear wall inner surface 292 may be an inclined surface or an arched surface, and a tangent surface direction 2921 of the inclined surface or the arched surface forms a fourth inclination angle θ4 with the plane of the mounting plate 4. Sizes of the third inclination angle θ3 and the fourth inclination angle θ4 may be the same or different. As a preferred mode, the extended surface of the inclined surface or the extended surface 2821 of a tangent surface of the arched surface of the second blower first air outlet rear wall inner surface 282 is not intersected with the volute of the first blower 1, as shown in Fig. 4; an extended surface of the inclined surface or an extended surface 2921 of a tangent surface of the arched surface of the second blower second air outlet rear wall inner surface 292 is not intersected with the volute of the third blower 3 (not shown in Fig. 3); and not intersecting specifically means that a part, overlapped with a projection of the volute on the mounting plate, of the extended surface of the inclined surface or the extended surface 2821 of the tangent surface of the arched surface is positioned in front of the volute in the front-back direction. In such a manner, the air blown from the second blower first air outlet 28 and lower air outlet 29 may be prevented from being blown onto the volutes of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3, and the interference of the volutes of the first blower 1 and the third blower 3 to the outlet air of the second blower 2 may be reduced.
As another preferred implementation mode, a combination of the abovementioned staggering manners is adopted. As shown in Fig. 3-7, the first blower mounting part 41, the second blower mounting part 42 and the third blower mounting part 43 are provided on the mounting plate, wherein the steps are formed between the second blower mounting part 42 and each of the first blower mounting part 41 and the third blower mounting part 43, so that the second blower mounting part 42 protrudes towards the direction of the front panel 51 in front compared with the first blower mounting part 41 and the third blower mounting part 43; and meanwhile, the second blower first air outlet 28 and the second blower second air outlet 29 are formed to be inclined relative to the volute, namely extending from the direction from the mounting plate 4 to the front panel 51 (i.e. the front-back direction) to the direction far away from the volute. Preferably, the extended surface of the inclined surface or the extended surface 2821 of the tangent surface of the arched surface of the second blower first air outlet rear wall inner surface 282 is not intersected with the volute of the first blower 1, as shown in Fig. 4; and the extended surface of the inclined surface of the extended surface 2921 of the tangent surface of the arched surface of the second blower second air outlet rear wall inner surface 292 is not intersected with the volute of the third blower 1. In such a combined staggering manner, thickness (front-back direction) increase of the combined volute blower structure caused by staggering in the front-back direction may be reduced, influence of excessively large inclination angles of the second blower first air outlet 28 and the second blower second air outlet 29 relative to the volute on the outlet air of the volute blower may also be avoided, great dimension increase of the thickness (front-back direction) and width (left-right direction) of the combined volute blower structure may be prevented, overall structure optimization design of the air conditioning equipment is facilitated, meanwhile, the interference of the first blower and the third blower to the outlet air of the second blower is lower, and the outlet air of the three blowers may smoothly move in the main body air duct 56.
As another preferred mode, a flow guide part and/or flow guide parts may be provided at the inclined second blower first air outlet 28 and/or second blower second air outlet 29 of the second blower. As shown in Fig. 12, an upper flow guide part 280 is provided at the second blower first air outlet 28, and a lower flow guide part 290 is provided at the second blower second air outlet 29. The upper flow guide part 280 is at least provided on a front wall of the second blower first air outlet 28, i.e. at a position close to the front panel 51; the lower flow guide part 290 is at least provided on a front wall of the second blower second air outlet 29, i.e. at a position close to the front panel 51; and the upper flow guide part 280 and the lower flow guide part 290 are wholly extend approximately in parallel with the mounting plate 4 and/or the front panel 51, i.e. along the top-bottom direction. Preferably, each of the upper flow guide part 280 and the lower flow guide part 290 has a structure of a sleeve, the sleeves are provided at the second blower first air outlet 28 and the second blower second air outlet 29, and the sleeves extend approximately along the top-bottom direction. Therefore, the air blown from the upper air outlet 28 and the lower air outlet 29 may enter the main body air duct 56 approximately in parallel to an extending direction of the main body air duct 56, interference of a reflected airflow of the front panel 51 to an airflow in the main body air duct 56 may be reduced, the airflow in the main body air duct 56 may be smoother, and energy loss is reduced. Meanwhile, if one of the top air outlet 53 or the bottom air outlet 54 is closed, as shown in Fig. 3B, for example, the bottom air outlet 54 is closed, at this moment, air downwards blown from the second blower second air outlet 29 and the third blower air outlet 39 returns after moving to a lower end of the main body air duct 56, and moves towards the top air outlet 53 through channels formed between the volutes of the third blower 3 and the second blower and the front panel 51. Due to existence of the lower flow guide part 290, the air downwards blown from the lower air outlet 29 is approximately parallel to the main body air duct 56, and the air returning from the lower part may be prevented from interference of the outlet air of the lower air outlet 29 and thus may smoothly move upwards when passing through the channel between the volute of the second blower 2 and the front panel 51. If the lower flow guide part 290 is not provided, the air obliquely blown towards the lower front part by the lower air outlet 29 may hinder the air returning from the lower part, and the returning air may not smoothly move upwards. Such descriptions are similarly applied to the upper flow guide part 280. When the top air outlet 53 is closed, a function of the upper flow guide part 280 is the same as a function of the lower flow guide part 290.
A specific mounting manner for the volute blower component will be described below, such as a structure shown in Fig. 7-9. A first blower mounting part 41, a second blower mounting part 42 and a third blower mounting part 43 are provided on a mounting plate, and a first blower mounting surface, a second blower mounting surface and a third blower mounting surface (not shown in the figures) are provided on the first blower mounting part 41, the second blower mounting part 42 and the third blower mounting part 43 respectively, wherein the second blower mounting surface is provided in a manner of protruding towards a direction of a front panel 51 relative to the first blower mounting surface and the third blower mounting surface; hoardings capable of strengthening overall strength of the mounting plate are provided on edges of the first blower mounting surface and the third blower mounting surface, and in addition, the first blower mounting part 41 and the third blower mounting part 43 form sunken parts, as shown in Fig. 8; and a first mounting plate air inlet 411, a second mounting plate air inlet 421 and a third mounting plate air inlet 431 are formed in the first blower mounting surface, the second blower mounting surface and the third blower mounting surface respectively, as shown in Fig. 8.
