For example, in the case of air cooling using a thermoelectric module, in order to maintain a relatively low temperature of the thermoelectric module low temperature generator, it is necessary to lower the temperature of the thermoelectric module high temperature generator relatively rapidly.

To this end, the cooling fluid may be flowed in and out by a water cooling method, and a heat dissipation fan may be rotated by an air cooling method and air may be radiated by flowing in and out of the heat radiation fins. However, the conventional air conditioner has a problem of low heat dissipation efficiency per unit time while following the simple heat dissipation fin arrangement method conventionally used.

An air conditioner equipped with a thermoelectric module unit according to the present invention aims to solve the following problems.

First, the structural improvement of the hot plate and the cold plate is to increase the heat exchange efficiency.

Second, it is intended to smooth heat exchange by minimizing a rectangular area in which the air flow sucked into the heat radiating fan of the hot plate portion is not smooth.

Third, the vortex is to be formed in the flow of air flowing in the heat radiation fin portion of the hot plate portion. Further, such a vortex is formed in the circular staircase to facilitate the discharge of hot air.

Fourth, it is intended to increase the moving speed of the cooling fluid (cooling gas due to liquid and pressure difference) that is moved in the substrate, to secure a flow path that is moved in a uniform distribution, and to increase the area of the flow path and the flow rate of the flow path.

Fifth, it is intended to increase the heat exchange efficiency by improving the arrangement of the heat sink fins and the shape of the heat sink fins themselves.

Sixth, to solve the condensate discharge problem by forcibly evaporating the condensate by using the air introduced from the outside, and to use the energy by introducing the air cooled by the forced evaporation to the hot plate.

An air conditioner equipped with a thermoelectric module unit according to the present invention may be used for cooling and heating of air. The air heating driving method (heater) basically corresponds to the air cooling driving method (air conditioner) implemented by changing only the direction of the power supply in the electrical reverse direction. The present specification will be described in the air conditioning apparatus according to the present invention mainly on the air cooling drive method.

Hereinafter, an air conditioner equipped with a thermoelectric module unit according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

An air conditioner having a thermoelectric module unit according to the present invention includes a thermoelectric module unit having a high temperature generator and a low temperature generator. When the thermoelectric module unit is supplied with DC power, one side becomes a high temperature generator and the other becomes a low temperature generator. The thermoelectric module unit may be formed by connecting a single sheet or a plurality of thin sheet-like thermoelectric modules.

The air conditioner according to the present invention includes a hot plate part 200 in thermal contact with a high temperature generating part of the thermoelectric module part. The air conditioner according to the present invention includes a cold plate portion 300 in thermal contact with the low temperature generating portion of the thermoelectric module portion. Since the thermoelectric module unit 100 is disposed between the hot plate unit 200 and the cold plate unit 300, it is not shown in the drawing.

In this specification, as shown in FIG. 1, the hot plate part 200 is disposed above the thermoelectric module part 100, and the cold plate part 300 is disposed below the thermoelectric module part. , Actual placement is not limited to these criteria.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cold plate part 300 according to the present invention includes a substrate 310 in thermal contact with the low temperature generator 120 of the thermoelectric module part 100. Cold plate unit 300 according to the present invention is a small cooling fin group 321 and a plurality of small cooling consisting of a plurality of cooling fins 3211 spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction with the same slope on the substrate 310. The fin group 321 has cooling fins 320 spaced apart from each other in the lateral direction.

As shown in FIG. 4, the cooling fins 3211 disposed in the longitudinal direction or the transverse direction of the substrate 310 are connected in the horizontal direction, but one integrated cooling fin 3211 is not disposed, but a plurality of cooling fins 3211 are disposed. Cooling fins 3211 are preferably connected in the transverse direction at regular intervals.

The plurality of cooling fins 3211 of the cold plate part 300 form a predetermined cluster and are spaced apart in the lateral direction. Such a cluster is referred to herein as a small cooling fin group 321. The plurality of cooling fins 3211 belonging to the same small cooling fin group 321 have the same slope. For example, if the inclination is zero, the radiating fins will be arranged horizontally, and if the inclination is +45 degrees, the cooling fins 3211 will be arranged at 45 degrees upward with the horizontal direction of the substrate 310 as the horizontal plane.

The plurality of small cooling fin groups 321 may all be arranged horizontally with the same inclination of zero, or all may be arranged at 45 degrees.

However, in the air conditioner according to the present invention, the cooling fin group 321 of at least some of the plurality of small cooling fin group 321 is preferably provided to have a slope arranged in a zigzag shape in the transverse direction. When the small cooling fin groups 321 are arranged in a zigzag shape with each other, vortices of the introduced air may be formed, and thermal contact between the air and the cooling fins 3211 is improved, thereby increasing the heat exchange rate.

Each cooling fin 3211 constituting the small cooling fin group 321 having a slope arranged in a zigzag shape is possible in the first embodiment in which all of the heat dissipation fins have the same slope and are in a zigzag shape. That is, the entire heat sink fin is arranged in the horizontal direction or in the 45 degree direction as a flat body.

In addition, each cooling fin 3211 constituting the small cooling fin group 321 having a slope arranged in a zigzag shape, as shown in Figure 4, the lower portion of the heat sink fin is horizontal in the transverse direction of the substrate, the upper portion of the heat sink fin Also preferred is a second embodiment which is swivel and zigzag-shaped (see also partially enlarged view in FIG. 4). According to this embodiment, the air introduced into the lower portion of the heat radiation fins passes through a straight path in the transverse direction, but the air introduced into the middle to the top of the heat radiation fins passes through the zigzag path in the transverse direction.

In the case of the second embodiment, a view of the cooling fins 3211 coupled to the substrate 310 and on the substrate 310 of the cold plate portion 300 in thermal contact with the low temperature generating portion 120 of the thermoelectric module portion 100. The upper portion of the phase is closest distance (至 近距離) in contact with the low temperature generating unit 120 of the thermoelectric module unit 100, the temperature is the lowest. Therefore, it is advantageous to be arranged in the transverse direction so that the inflow of air in terms of heat exchange.

However, the temperature of the cooling fin is higher than the upper portion in the drawing toward the lower side in the drawing of the cooling fin (3211). Therefore, the air inflow method has a swivel at the bottom of the cooling fins, which causes resistance to flow and forms vortices, leading to more air toward the upper of the cooling fins having a relatively low temperature and low resistance due to hydrodynamic structure. There is an effect of maximizing heat exchange. That is, the swivel structure has an effect of increasing the thermal contact between the air and the cooling fin to the maximum. In view of such heat exchange, the second embodiment is more appropriate.

Although all of the small cooling fin groups 321 according to the present invention may have a slope to have a zigzag shape, some small cooling fin groups 321 may not have a zigzag shape. The non-zigzag portion will mainly be the end (right and left end in the drawing) of the substrate into which air is introduced.

In such an embodiment, the cooling fins 3211 of the small cooling fin group 321 disposed at the end of the substrate 310 and into which air is introduced are preferably arranged horizontally. In addition, the cooling fins 3211 horizontally arranged in this way is preferably a part of the cooling fins 3211 of the air inflow side. The shape of the cut portion 330 to be cut may be variously formed, such as an oblique shape, a 'b' shape. When a part of the heat radiation fin is cut, air is easily introduced. The heat radiation fins are also important for heat exchange, but in the case of air inflow, it is also important to reduce the latent heat energy of the heat radiation fins due to the mass reduction caused by the cutting of some of the heat radiation fins. Therefore, some cuts on the heat sink fins have a positive effect on the overall air conditioning system.

Small cooling fin group 321 according to the present invention are spaced apart from each other as shown in FIG. The spaced intervals may be the same. In addition, an embodiment in which the one spacing interval is different from the other spacing interval is possible. For example, if the different separation intervals A, B, can be arranged in various types, such as A-A-A-A-A-A type, A-B-A-B-A-B type, A-A-B-A-A-B type. As such, when the spacing intervals are arranged in various types according to the pressure and the air volume of the blowing fan, vortex phenomena of air are more actively performed, which is more advantageous for heat exchange.

The lower side of the cold plate 300 according to the present invention is preferably provided with a blowing fan (not shown) to enable forced inflow and outflow of air. In addition, the lower side of the blowing fan (not shown) is preferably provided with a condensate collection unit 400 that condenses moisture contained in the air cooled by heat exchange with the cooling fins 3211 of the cold plate 300. Blowing fan (not shown) is specifically located between the cold plate 300 and the condensate collection unit 400.

Condensate collection unit 400 according to the present invention has a structure in which the inner body 410 and the outer body 420 is coupled, as shown in FIG. The inner body 410 according to the present invention is provided in the shape of a horn of the upper side down light in which the upper surface 411 and the lower surface 412 are closed. The outer body 420 according to the present invention has an upper surface 421 and a lower surface 422 are provided in the shape of a horn of the upper narrow down light, the duct for spaced apart to correspond to the outside of the inner body 410 ( duct) function. Horn shape is available in a variety of horn shape, such as truncated cone, elliptical truncated cone. Horn shape of the inner body 410 and the outer body 420 is preferably a corresponding shape.

The upper surface 411 of the inner body is disposed to be spaced apart from each other on the upper surface 421 of the outer body 420, an opening through which the cooling air passing through the cold plate 300 is introduced into the condensate collection unit 400 is formed. .

The lower surface 412 of the inner body is coupled to a portion on the lower surface 422 of the outer body 420, the lower surface 422 of the outer body 420 is arranged to open. The air cooled in the cold plate part 300 is discharged to the room through the open area.

It is preferable that the edge dam 414 extended upward is formed at the lower end of the side body 413 of the inner body 410. This serves as a dam that prevents condensate flowing down by the horn shape from overflowing to the outside.

A plurality of through holes 415 are formed at the side surface 413 of the inner body 410, and an absorbing member (not shown) is disposed inside the inner body 410 to connect the opposite through holes 415. . Absorption member is sufficient as long as it can absorb the condensate quickly, generally a certain thickness of the fiber material can be used. For example, the inside of the inner body 410 has a large number of coarse yarns are arranged, the condensed water absorbed in these yarns is a structure that is rapidly evaporated by the outside air.

An air hole 424 is formed in the side surfaces of the inner body 410 and the outer body 420 to allow the outside air to flow into or out of the inner body 410. In the case of the embodiment of Figure 5, the inlet is formed in a substantially circular shape, the outlet is formed in a substantially square.

The condensed water is absorbed by an absorbing member (not shown) connected to the through hole 415 while flowing along the horn-shaped outer surface of the inner body 410. Since the condensed water is collected in the rim dam 414, the through hole 415 is more preferably formed near the rim dam 414. This structure can be quickly absorbed by the absorbing member disposed on the inner body 410.

The condensed water absorbed by the absorbent member diffuses rapidly into the entire absorbent member region by capillary action.

The outside air of the condensate collection unit 400 flows into and out of the inner body 410 through air holes communicating with the inner body and the side of the outer body, and the condensed water is evaporated by the outflowing air. The air cooled by the evaporation of the condensate is introduced into the hot plate part 200 through the hot plate part connection part 21 to greatly contribute to the temperature drop.

Next, the hot plate unit 200 according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The hot plate 200 functions to dissipate the high temperature of the high temperature generating unit 110 of the thermoelectric module unit 100. For heat dissipation, air cooling and fluid cooling can be applied together. The fluid cooling method refers to a cooling method using a vaporization cooling gas using a liquid or a pressure difference.

The heat dissipation fin 220 and the circular staircase 230, which will be described later, have a structure related to air cooling, and the fluid inlet 211, the fluid reservoir 212, and the fluid transfer unit 230 are related to the fluid cooling method. Dual heat dissipation structure.

The hot plate part 200 according to the present invention includes a substrate 210 and a heat dissipation fin part 220. The substrate 210 is in thermal contact with the high temperature generating unit 110 of the thermoelectric module unit 100. The heat dissipation fin part 220 is disposed on the substrate 210 in a lateral direction, and includes a plurality of heat dissipation fins 221 disposed in parallel to each other.

At the center of the heat dissipation fin 220, it is preferable that the circular staircases 230 having different diameters having concentric circles are recessed. For the circular staircase 230 to be formed, the diameter of the upper stepped portion must be larger than the diameter of the lower stepped portion. The number of steps is preferably adjusted according to the width of the substrate 210 and the height and length of the heat radiation fins 221.

The bottom surface of the circular staircase 230 may be the substrate 210 itself, or may be a heat radiation fin 221. The heat dissipation fan 240 is mounted on the circular staircase 230. The bottom surface of the heat dissipation fan 240 may be seated on the uppermost step surface of the circular staircase 230. However, it is not necessarily limited to the position, and a position appropriate for the arrangement is sufficient.

When the heat radiating fan 240 is rotated, air is introduced into the left and right sides of the substrate 210 or on the substrate 210. The conventional heat radiation fin without the structure of the circular staircase 230 is a structure that the bottom surface of the heat radiation fan to cover the heat radiation fin. Under such a structure, there is a problem in that air flow is difficult hydrodynamically under the heat radiating fan so that heat exchange is not performed smoothly.

However, when the circular staircase 230 according to the present invention is formed, a space through which air can be smoothly flown even under the heat dissipation fan 240 is secured, and the vortex is formed by the steps.

Air flowing from both left and right sides is discharged upward by the heat radiating fan, and the air introduced from the left and right sides collides with each other to form an upper flow of air. At this time, the air is stagnated without moving above the point where the air on both sides joins. Therefore, the part becomes a heat exchange blind spot, and a phenomenon in which air, which is partially heat exchanged, moves upward through the blade edge of the heat radiating fan occurs.

In order to prevent this, the circular staircase 230 according to the present invention preferably includes one or more partitions 250 disposed to be substantially perpendicular to the inflow direction of air (the longitudinal direction in the drawing). The length of the partition wall 250 inserted in the most ideal position by the hydrodynamic computer simulation to arrange the circular staircase 230 in the longitudinal direction depends on the static pressure at which the radiating fan sucks air, the length of the substrate 210, and the height of the pin. It is preferred to be modified accordingly.

When the partition wall 250 is disposed, air flowing from the left and right sides is moved to the position of the partition wall 250 and then forms a flow that is moved upward. Therefore, there is an advantage in that the rectangular area in which the heat dissipation fin and the air are not in thermal contact is eliminated by the technical configuration of the partition 250.

The partition wall 250 is not limited to the number, but one or two spaced apart from each other is preferably disposed in the longitudinal direction of the heat dissipation fin 221. The upper surface of the partition wall 250 is preferably disposed on the same surface as one step surface of the circular staircase 230. It can be the top step or the bottom step.

The partition 250 may also perform the function of the support. Therefore, when the partition wall 250 is provided, it is preferable that the heat dissipation fan 240 is seated on the stepped surface on which the upper surface of the partition wall 250 of the circular staircase portion 230 is disposed.

Both or both ends of the longitudinal direction of the heat radiation fin portion 220 of the hot plate portion 200 according to the present invention is preferably provided with an inclined portion 260 formed in an oblique line. When the inclined portion 260 is formed, the air inflow area is increased and the inflow resistance is reduced, thereby increasing the air inflow amount. Accordingly, the heat dissipation effect of the hot plate 200 is greatly increased. As a result, the induction of the cooling temperature of the cold plate part 300 is relatively easy.

In the case of the heat dissipation fin 220, an embodiment in which the thin heat dissipation fins 221 of a thin plate shape is disposed to be spaced apart in the lateral direction.

The longitudinal spacing between the heat dissipation fins 221 is preferably greater than the spacing between the heat dissipation fins passing through the centrifugal portion of the circular step portion 230 between the heat dissipation fins. When the heat radiating fan 240 rotates, a strong suction force is an interval space formed between the heat radiating fins passing near the centrifugal portion. Therefore, it is desirable to make the air inflow space of the portion with relatively strong suction power larger.

Next, the fluid cooling structure of the hot plate unit 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. The fluid inlet 211 is formed at one side of the substrate 210 of the hot plate part 200, the fluid outlet 212 is formed at the other side, and the fluid inlet 211 and the fluid outlet 212 are formed inside the substrate 210. Is formed to communicate with the fluid transfer part 213.

The transfer path of the fluid transfer unit according to the present invention may be variously formed. In one embodiment, the fluid transfer unit 213 is a longitudinal fluid inlet chamber 2131 in which the cooling fluid introduced into the fluid inlet 211 is transported, and a longitudinal direction in which the cooling fluid flowing out of the fluid outlet 212 is transported. The fluid outflow chamber 2132 and the transverse chamber communication channels 2133 communicating with the fluid inflow chamber 2131 and the fluid outflow chamber 2132 are preferably spaced apart in parallel. The separation intervals may be the same or may be different.

However, the same amount of fluid does not flow into the chamber communication channels 2133 spaced apart in parallel. Accordingly, in order to uniformly and smoothly move the fluid, the fluid inlet 211 and the fluid outlet 212 are spaced apart from each other, and the chamber communication channel 2133 is in the direction of the fluid outlet 212 from the fluid inlet 211. It is preferable that the spaced intervals between the chamber communication channels 2133 become smaller as they are arranged. This structure improves the phenomenon in which the flow rate of the fluid is evenly distributed. The thickness of the chamber communication channel 2133 varies in thickness depending on the pressure of the pump, and the chamber communication channel of the inlet part is gradually thinned toward the outlet part to form a uniform fluid flow rate overall.

Next, a composite air conditioner in which two air conditioners according to the present invention are connected will be described. As shown in FIG. 6, the complex air conditioner is a complex multiplication structure for remarkably improving the cooling and heating capability by connecting the first air conditioner 20-1 and the second air conditioner 20-2.

All technical configurations of the air conditioner according to the present invention described above are included. Therefore, the description will be mainly focused on newly added technical configuration rather than overlapping technical configuration. For reference, the first air conditioner 20-1 and the second air conditioner 20-2 each include a hot plate portion and a cold plate portion. For convenience of description, the hot plate part included in the first air conditioner 20-1 is referred to as '200-1', the cold plate part is referred to as '300-1', and the second air conditioner 20 The hot plate part included in -2) will be referred to as '200-2', and the cold plate part will be referred to as '300-2'. However, separate reference numerals are not indicated in the drawings.

The first hot plate part 200-1 of the first air conditioner and the second hot plate part 200-2 of the second air conditioner are in thermal contact with the high temperature generating part 110 of the thermoelectric module part 100. And a heat dissipation fin 220 having a plurality of heat dissipation fins 221 disposed on the substrate 210 and the substrate 210 in a lateral direction and spaced apart from each other in parallel. At the center of the heat dissipation fin 220, circular staircases 230 of different diameters with concentric circles are recessed. (See FIGS. 1,2,6,7)

Both ends of the heat dissipation fin 220 disposed in the left and right ends of the first and second hot plate portions in the longitudinal direction are provided with inclined portions 260 formed in diagonal lines, and the hot plates to which the first and second hot plate portions are coupled. The connecting portion 21 is formed in a recessed structure having a substantially 'V' shape. Through this recessed portion, vaporized cooling air generated inside the condensate collector is introduced. The heat dissipation fan 240 is mounted on the circular staircases 230 of the first and second hot plate portions, respectively.

A separate structure in which the cooling fluid flows in and out of each of the substrates of the first and second hot plate portions may be formed. That is, the fluid inlets are formed separately, and the fluid inlets may be formed separately or in one. On the other hand, it is also possible that one cooling fluid outflow structure is formed over the entire substrate of the first and second hot plate portion.

The cold plate connection part 22 to which the first cold plate part 300-1 of the first air conditioner and the second cold plate part 300-2 of the second air conditioner are coupled has a smaller height than other parts. Cooling fin group 321 is preferably disposed. Although the air inflow may be reduced due to the characteristics of the blowing fan, the air inflow area may be increased through the structure of lowering the height than other adjacent parts, and the latent heat energy contained in the heat dissipation fin may be minimized by mass reduction.

A blowing fan (not shown) may be provided below the cold connection part. The upper body 411 and the lower surface 412 of the lower side of the blowing fan (not shown), the upper body 410 of the horn-shaped upper body of the upper and lower beams, and the upper horn of the upper and lower beams of the upper surface 421 and the lower surface 422 are opened. The condensate collector 400 may have a shape and further include an outer body 420 spaced apart from each other to correspond to the outside of the inner body 410. Technical features of the condensate collector 400 are as described above.

The condensate collector 400 and the hot plate connecting portion 21 may be provided with a blower channel 23 of the hollow body (see Fig. 9). This serves to allow the air flowing out of the condensate collector 400 to flow into the hot plate connecting portion 21. The air is cooled while evaporating the condensed water absorbed by the absorbing member disposed on the inner body of the condensate collecting unit. When the cooled air is introduced into the hot plate connection part 21, the heat radiation efficiency of the hot plate 200 may be increased. It also has the advantage of recycling the energy that is thrown away uselessly. Indeed, the energy consumed to produce condensed water in cooling may account for about 50% of the total energy, so this structure of the present invention is very advantageous in terms of energy recycling.

The embodiments and drawings attached to this specification are merely to clearly show some of the technical ideas included in the present invention, and those skilled in the art can easily infer within the scope of the technical ideas included in the specification and drawings of the present invention. Modifications that can be made and specific embodiments will be apparent that both are included in the scope of the invention.
