- With the improvement of the quality of life, air conditioners have become an indispensable device in family and work life. Split-type air conditioners include indoor units and outdoor units, which are installed indoors and outdoors respectively, and are connected by pipes and wires. A split-type air conditioner typically has one indoor unit paired with one outdoor unit, and it differs from a unitary air conditioner. Indoor units of split-type air conditioners can be wall-mounted, embedded, or floor-standing. They can perform various functions such as cooling, heating, humidifying, dehumidifying, and filtering the air. Generally, split-type air conditioners divide the air conditioner into two parts: the indoor unit and the outdoor unit. The compressor and axial flow fan with relatively large noise are provided in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The electrical control circuit components and the indoor side heat exchanger and other indispensable indoor parts are installed in the indoor unit of the air conditioner. The compressor will produce a large noise, and if it is provided at the indoor unit, the user will still find it unbearable, because the existing solutions cannot effectively solve the noise problem caused by placing the compressor in the indoor unit. The conventional split-type air conditioners all adopt the method of external compressor, that is, installed in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. The compressor noise problem is also the main reason for placing the compressor in the outdoor unit of the air conditioner. However, with the improvement of living standards and the prevalence of high-rise residential areas, the installation process of air conditioners, especially the solution of placing the compressor in the air conditioner outdoor unit, makes the outdoor unit too heavy and inconvenient to install, which requires professional installation and the labor cost is expensive. In some areas, the labor cost is even higher than the cost of the air conditioner. Under such circumstances, if users install the unit themselves in order to save installation costs, it is easy to cause safety accidents.
- In order to allow users to install a lightweight outdoor unit by themselves, the compressor is now moved to the indoor unit. However, for the indoor noise standard requirements, the current vibration and noise reduction measures of the compressor (such as foot pads, sound insulation cotton, sound insulation enclosure, etc.) are no longer sufficient, so a more efficient vibration and noise reduction solution is needed for the compressor. Accordingly, the present application provides a split-type air conditioner, including an air conditioner outdoor unit and an air conditioner
indoor unit 100, the air conditioner outdoor unit is provided with an outdoor heat exchanger, and the outdoor heat exchanger is communicated with thecompressor 20 and the indoor heat exchanger of the air conditionerindoor unit 100 to form a refrigerant circuit. - In order to solve the noise problem caused by the air conditioner indoor unit in which a compressor is arranged, the present application makes an improvement to the air conditioner indoor unit. The compressor is installed in the air conditioner indoor unit, and the noise generated by the compressor is reduced.
- Therefore, the air conditioner indoor unit provided in the present application reduces the vibration noise of the compressor located in the air conditioner indoor unit through the first-stage elastic
vibration reduction structure 30 and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40, and greatly reduces the radiation noise of the compressor arranged in the air conditioner indoor unit. - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , in an embodiment of the present application, the air conditionerindoor unit 100 includes achassis 10, an indoor heat exchanger, acompressor 20, a first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and a second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40. Thechassis 10 is provided with a first installation position and a second installation position; the indoor heat exchanger is installed at the first installation position; thecompressor 20 is connected to the indoor heat exchanger, the bottom of thecompressor 20 has aninstallation foot 21, thecompressor 20 is provided at the second installation position, and theinstallation foot 21 is connected to thechassis 10. The first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 is located between theinstallation foot 21 and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40, and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 is located between the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and thechassis 10. - The air conditioner
indoor unit 100 includes a rectangular air conditioner housing, which includes achassis 10. The indoor heat exchanger, thecompressor 20, the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30, and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 are all installed on thechassis 10. In order to facilitate movement, universal wheels are provided at the lower part of thechassis 10, and the air conditioner housing is provided with communicated air outlets and air inlets. In other embodiments, the air conditionerindoor unit 100 can be in other forms, such as wall-mounted, embedded, etc. - The vibration generated by the operation of the
compressor 20 is first attenuated by the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30, and then transmitted to thechassis 10 of the indoor unit through the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40. Thechassis 10 of the air conditionerindoor unit 100 is generally made of sheet metal and other materials with large mass and high density. Such materials are dense, have small vibrations, are difficult to absorb and transmit sound energy, and have strong reflection energy, so they can block sound propagation or weaken transmitted sound energy. - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 may be a rubber gasket, a rubber spring, or a composite form of rubber and metal spring, etc. The first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 often adopts a material with a large damping coefficient, and converts mechanical energy into heat energy and dissipates it through friction and mutual displacement between molecules of the damping material, thereby attenuating the vibration of thecompressor 20 and further reducing structural vibration noise. - The first-stage elastic
vibration reduction structure 30, the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 and thechassis 10 are arranged in sequence. The second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 can be made of the same elastic cushion layer, rubber cushion or rubber block as the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30, or can be a different combination, such as the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 is a rubber spring and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 is a rubber block. In order to ensure the vibration reduction effect, apartition 41 can be provided between the two vibration reduction structures. - In the technical solution of the present application, the air conditioner indoor unit includes a
chassis 10, an indoor heat exchanger, acompressor 20, a first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and a second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40. Thechassis 10 has a first installation position and a second installation position; the indoor heat exchanger is mounted at the first installation position. Thecompressor 20 is communicated with the indoor heat exchanger, the bottom of thecompressor 20 has aninstallation foot 21, thecompressor 20 is placed at the second installation position, and theinstallation foot 21 is connected to thechassis 10. The first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 is located between theinstallation foot 21 and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40, and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 is located between the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and thechassis 10. The two-stage vibration reduction effect of the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 can greatly attenuate the vibration of thecompressor 20 and reduce structural vibration noise. - In an embodiment, the first-stage elastic
vibration reduction structure 30 is configured as a rubber pad or a rubber spring. The first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and thechassis 10 are limited by bolts to limit the lateral movement of thecompressor 20 on thechassis 10 and give a certain amount of movement in the vertical direction, so as to better attenuate the vibration of thecompressor 20. - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , in order to better reduce the noise of theair conditioner compressor 20, the air conditionerindoor unit 100 further includes asound insulation enclosure 50, which is sleeved outside thecompressor 20. Thesound insulation enclosure 50 can adopt the damping material. For example, a steel plate of the enclosure body is located at the outermost side of the sound insulation barrier, a damping layer is provided at the inner side of the steel plate, and a sound absorption layer is provided on the inner side of the damping layer. For another example, a felt material formed by processing is installed on the outer surface of thecompressor 20 of the outdoor unit, and an aluminum plate is further pasted on the outer surface of the felt material, so as to be used as thesound insulation enclosure 50. - In an embodiment, in order to achieve a better two-stage vibration reduction effect, the second-stage elastic
vibration reduction structure 40 includes apartition 41 and anelastic member 42, thepartition 41 is connected to thesound insulation enclosure 50, the first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 is located between theinstallation foot 21 and thepartition 41, and theelastic member 42 is located between thepartition 41 and thechassis 10. Thepartition 41 serves as an intermediate transition base, and the vibration of thecompressor 20 and thesound insulation enclosure 50 is first transmitted to thepartition 41 through the first-stage elastic vibration reduction structure 30 (rubber pad or rubber spring) under theinstallation foot 21 of thecompressor 20, and then the vibration of thepartition 41 is transmitted to thechassis 10 through the second-stage elastic vibration reduction structure 40 (rubber block or spring). The two vibration insulation effects can greatly attenuate the vibration of thecompressor 20 and thesound insulation enclosure 50, and reduce structural vibration noise. - The
partition 41 is made of a material with large mass and high density, such as a metal plate including a steel plate or an aluminum plate, etc. Such a material is dense, has low vibration, is difficult to absorb and transmit sound energy, and has strong reflection energy, so it can block sound propagation or reduce transmitted sound energy. - In an embodiment, the
elastic member 42 is configured as a rubber block or a spring. The first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 and the second-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 40 both use damping materials, and utilize the friction and mutual displacement between the molecules of the damping material to convert mechanical energy into heat energy for dissipation, thereby attenuating the vibration of thesound insulation enclosure 50, thepartition 41 and thecompressor 20, and further reducing the structural vibration noise. - In order to ensure the sound insulation effect, the
sound insulation enclosure 50 includes anenclosure body 51, and at least onesound absorption layer 52 and at least one sound insulation layer 53 provided at the inner surface of theenclosure body 51. - The cavity wall of the
sound insulation enclosure 50 includes at least onesound absorption layer 52 and at least one sound insulation layer 53 which are sequentially arranged from the inside to the outside. - Two, three or even more sound absorption layers 52 may be provided, and the sound insulation layer 53 may be provided between two sound absorption layers 52, or between the
sound absorption layer 52 and theenclosure body 51, etc. - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , thesound absorption layer 52 includes a firstsound absorption layer 521 and a secondsound absorption layer 522, the sound insulation layer 53 includes a firstsound insulation layer 531 and a secondsound insulation layer 532, and the firstsound absorption layer 521, the secondsound absorption layer 522, the firstsound insulation layer 531, the secondsound insulation layer 532 and theenclosure body 51 are stacked in sequence. - In an embodiment, the first
sound absorption layer 521 is configured as a micro-perforate layer. The micro-perforate layer can be a thin plate or film (such as a plastic film such as polyvinyl fluoride (PVF), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), or a polycarbonate (PC) board, acrylic board, gypsum board, and a metal plate such as a stainless steel plate, aluminum plate, etc.), and the noise generated by thecompressor 20 is converted from sound energy to heat energy through the air in the microporous of the micro-perforate layer and the fiber holes of the secondsound absorption layer 522 due to viscosity and friction, and then dissipated. - In an embodiment, the micro-perforate layer can flexibly design the acoustic impedance value to improve the sound absorption performance of medium and low frequency noise from 300 Hz to 1000 Hz, so that the vibration insulation enclosure has a good noise reduction effect in the full frequency band.
- In an embodiment, the thickness of the micro-perforate layer ranges from 0.2 mm to 1.5 mm, the diameter of the holes in the micro-perforate layer ranges from 0.1 mm to 1 mm, and the perforation ratio of the micro-perforate layer ranges from 0.5 % to 5%. The micro-perforate layer can adjust the acoustic impedance and the resonance frequency by changing its thickness, micro-porous diameter, perforation ratio and the thickness of the second
sound absorption layer 522, so as to have good sound absorption performance in the medium and low frequency bands. - In an embodiment, the second
sound absorption layer 522 is configured as a porous sound absorption material layer. The porous sound absorption material layer can be a porous material such as glass fiber, non-woven fiber, needle felt, slag wool, foam plastic, etc. Themicro-perforate layer 521 and the secondsound absorption layer 522 cooperate to form a good full-band sound absorption composite structure, in which the air will be converted from sound energy to heat energy and then dissipated in the microporous and fiber holes due to viscosity and friction. - The first
sound insulation layer 531 is configured as a sound insulation felt layer, a glass layer or a rubber layer. Theenclosure body 51 is configured as a metal cover. Materials with large mass and high density are selected as the sound insulation material layer (such as sound insulation felt, glass, rubber, etc.) and the metal housing layer (such as steel plate, aluminum plate and other metal plates). Such materials are dense, have low vibration, are difficult to absorb and transmit sound energy, and have strong reflection energy, so they can block sound propagation or reduce transmitted sound energy. - The second
sound insulation layer 532 is configured as a damping material layer. The mechanical energy is converted into heat energy and dissipated through the friction and mutual displacement between the molecules of the damping material, thereby attenuating the vibration of themetal housing layer 51, thepartition 41 and thecompressor 20, thereby reducing the vibration noise. The damping material layer can be a rubber particle layer or a foam particle layer or an anti-vibration rubber layer, which can achieve a better vibration reduction effect. It can be understood that both rubber materials and foam materials have good viscoelastic properties. When thecompressor 20 is working, and the vibration generated by thecompressor 20 is transmitted to the damping particles, the mechanical energy is converted into heat energy and dissipated through friction and mutual displacement between the particles since the damping particles have good viscoelasticity, which can minimize the vibration transmission of thecompressor 20. - In an embodiment, the composite
sound insulation enclosure 50 structure including themicro-perforate layer 521, the secondsound absorption layer 522, the firstsound insulation layer 531, the secondsound insulation layer 532 and theenclosure body 51 can achieve excellent full-band noise reduction effect. - In order to further improve the sealing performance, vibration reduction performance and sound insulation performance of the
sound insulation enclosure 50 after installation, thesound insulation enclosure 50 is provided with anavoidance hole 54 for the pipeline of thecompressor 20 to pass through, and afirst seal 60 is provided between the pipeline and theavoidance hole 54. - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the inlet and outlet pipes of thecompressor 20 need to extend from thesound insulation enclosure 50. Due to processing errors or size relationships, there will be a gap between the pipes and theavoidance hole 54. Thefirst seal 60 may be an elastic sealing strip, a sealing ring, or a sealant. Providing thefirst seal 60 may improve the sealing performance of thesound insulation enclosure 50 after installation, and suppress the vibration of the exhaust pipe and the return pipe from being transmitted to thesound insulation enclosure 50. - In an embodiment, in order to achieve a better sealing effect, a
second seal 70 is provided between thesound insulation enclosure 50 and thepartition 41. Thesecond seal 70 can reduce the vibration transmitted from thesound insulation enclosure 50 to thepartition 41. - As shown in
FIG. 1 andFIG. 2 , the outer side of theenclosure body 51 is provided with aninstallation flange 55, and theinstallation flange 55 and thepartition 41 are fixed by bolts to cooperate with thesecond seal 70 to achieve a better sealing effect. In addition, it will make assembly easy, simple to operate, and convenient for rapid assembly of the production line. In other embodiments, an annular groove may be provided on thechassis 10, and the edge of thesound insulation enclosure 50 may be inserted into the annular groove. - In order to ensure the sealing effect of the
sound insulation enclosure 50, thepartition 41 is connected to thesound insulation enclosure 50, and aninstallation flange 55 is provided at the outer side of theenclosure body 51. Theinstallation flange 55 and thepartition 41 are fixed by bolts; while the connection between thecompressor 20 and thechassis 10, and the connection between thepartition 41, theelastic member 42 and thechassis 10 have different solutions. - In an embodiment, the
installation foot 21 is connected to thechassis 10 by bolts passing through thepartition 41. The first-stage elasticvibration reduction structure 30 is located between theinstallation foot 21 and thepartition 41. Theelastic member 42 is arranged under theinstallation foot 21, and between thepartition 41 and thechassis 10.
