Description

Air conditioner

The present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly, to a structure of an integrated air conditioner that can be used without restrictions depending on the installation position.

In general, an air conditioner is a device that converts hot air in a room into cold air by heat exchange, and cools the room to an appropriate temperature or less by using the cold air.

The air conditioner includes a compressor 11, a condenser 12, a capillary tube 13, and an evaporator 21. The outdoor unit 10 is installed outdoors and compresses and condenses a refrigerant. It is installed in the room and consists of an indoor unit 20 to obtain cold air by heat-exchanging the refrigerant compressed and condensed by the outdoor unit.

At this time, the outdoor unit 10 and the indoor unit 20 are connected to enable the circulation of the refrigerant by the refrigerant passage 40.

Here, the compressor 11 compresses the gas refrigerant of low temperature and low pressure into a gas refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure, and the condenser 12 condenses the compressed gas refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure into a liquid refrigerant of high temperature and high pressure, and the capillary tube ( 13) the low temperature and low pressure of the condensed high temperature and high pressure liquid refrigerant, and the evaporator 21 evaporates the low temperature and low pressure liquid refrigerant to a low temperature and low pressure gas refrigerant.

At this time, the evaporator 21 is mounted on the periphery of the evaporator 21 so that the indoor air is cooled because the cooling fan heat-exchanged with the evaporator 21 is discharged to the room while passing through the evaporator 21. .

However, the above-described conventional air conditioner has a problem that it is difficult to change the position freely because the indoor unit 20 and the outdoor unit 10 are made of separate configurations.

Of course, the development of a mobile air conditioner is currently being made, but this also had to be limited by the mounting position due to the outdoor unit.

In addition, recently, the configuration of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit such as the window type air conditioner shown in FIG. 2 allows the individual to be used individually through the development of an integrated air conditioner in which a single device is combined. A complaint was caused.

In addition, although a large amount of condensate is generated by encountering the outside air in the process of evaporating the low-temperature low-pressure liquid refrigerant through the evaporator 31, no consideration has been given to the external discharge of the condensate.

In addition, the above-described integrated air conditioner has a problem that the condensation efficiency of the gas refrigerant performed by the condenser 32 is low, considering that all components are maintained at a relatively high temperature because they are provided in a single body 30.

That is, considering that the temperature of the gaseous refrigerant provided from the compressor 33 is considerably high temperature, the condenser blower fan 34 provided in the condenser 32 does not sufficiently reduce the temperature of the gaseous refrigerant. There was no choice but to deteriorate.

In particular, the integrated air conditioner has a problem that the cooling efficiency of the room is inevitably deteriorated when the hot air passing through the condenser 32 is provided to the room by the blower fan 34 for the condenser.

The present invention has been devised to solve the above-described problems, and there is no separate outdoor unit, so that various components for performing an air conditioning action can be provided in a single body, and the components are separated from the compressor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure to reduce the temperature of the refrigerant provided to the condenser as much as possible.

In addition, the present invention has an object to provide a structure that allows the discharge of condensed water, which is a problem in the integrated air conditioner consisting of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit is made smoothly and stably.

Is provided, the second fan fan 152 has a second fan housing 155 to guide the air to suck the air from the second inlet 102 formed on the front of the main body 100 to provide to the evaporator 140 It is provided.

Of course, although not shown, the first blowing fan 151 is configured to suck air through the first discharge port 103 so that air is discharged through the first suction hole 101 and the second blowing fan 152. ) May be configured to suck air through the second discharge port 104 to discharge air through the second suction hole 102.

In addition, a first communication hole 154a and a second communication hole 155a are respectively provided on the side of the first fan housing 154 and the second fan housing 155 toward the site where the compressor 110 is mounted. The third communication hole 105a and the fourth communication hole 105b are respectively formed at portions of the partition plate 105 that are opposite to the first communication hole 154a and the second communication hole 155a. Is formed.

The refrigerant pipe 160 is disposed between the compressor 110, the condenser 120, the condenser 120, the capillary tube 130, the capillary tube 130, the evaporator 140, the evaporator 140, and the compressor 110. Each is connected, and serves to guide the flow of the refrigerant.

At this time, a refrigerant pipe (hereinafter, referred to as a “first refrigerant pipe”) 161 connected between the compressor 110 and the condenser 120 is formed to be bent in a large number as shown in FIG. 5.

In addition, the basket 170 is provided in the lower space of the main body 100, the coolant is left therein, the first coolant pipe 161 is accommodated in the coolant.

The basket unit 170 as described above is provided at the upper end of the compressor 110 as shown, so that the space inside the main body 100 can be used as efficiently as possible.

At this time, the basket 170 is positioned by the coolant by allowing the blowing air provided through the third communication hole 105a and the fourth communication hole 105b formed in the partition plate 105 to be introduced therein. More preferably, the temperature of the first refrigerant pipe 161 and the temperature of the first refrigerant pipe 161 due to the blowing air can be reduced.

In addition, the bottom surface of the lower space in the main body 100 is provided with a condensate storage unit 190.

In addition, a second drain hose 182 is connected to a lower end of the basket unit 170 so that the coolant remaining in the basket unit 170 may be discharged to the condensate storage unit 190 as needed. The second drain hose 182 is provided with a shutoff valve 182a for selectively blocking condensate flowing therein. The shutoff valve 182a is configured to enable remote control.

In addition, a third drain hose 183 is connected to the upper end of the basket unit 170 to guide the condensate to be directly drained to the condensate storage unit 190 when inflow of condensate above a predetermined level is made.

Hereinafter, the air-cooling process of the room using the air conditioner of the present invention configured as described above will be described in more detail.

First, when the operation of the air conditioner according to the present invention is made, the compression of the refrigerant by the compressor 110 is performed and at the same time the rotation of each blowing fan (151, 152) by the drive of the two-axis motor 153 is made of the main body 100 Air blowing inside is performed.

In the above process, the refrigerant is compressed into a gas refrigerant having a high temperature and high pressure in the process of passing through the compressor 110, and the compressed refrigerant is flowed to the condenser 120 through the first refrigerant pipe 161.

At this time, since the first refrigerant pipe 161 is in a state of being bent in a large number and is locked in the coolant in the basket 170, the temperature of the high-temperature, high-pressure gas refrigerant flowing therein is a certain part of its temperature. It is reduced to achieve approximately medium temperature.

In addition, the high-pressure gaseous refrigerant of about medium temperature is condensed in the course of passing through the condenser 120.

At this time, the air blown by the first blowing fan 151 is introduced into the main body 100 through the first suction port 101 and then guided by the first fan housing 154 to open the condenser 120. Is discharged towards. In addition, the air passing through the condenser 120 is discharged to the outside of the main body 100 through the first discharge port 103.

It is understood that the air discharged to the outside of the main body 100 through the first discharge port 103 while passing through the condenser 120 is extremely lower than the temperature of the air passing through the conventional condenser.

Therefore, the problem that hot air passing through the condenser 120, which is the biggest problem of the conventional integrated air conditioner, can raise the room temperature as much as possible can be solved as much as possible.

In addition, a part of the blowing air discharged through the first communication hole 154a of the first fan housing 154 while the above-described series of processes are performed passes through the third communication hole 105a to allow the compressor 110 and Since it is blown into the basket 170, it is possible to prevent the performance deterioration caused by the heat generation of the compressor 110, and to further reduce the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant temperature flowing inside the first refrigerant pipe 161. Will be.

In particular, the condenser 120 for condensing the refrigerant provided from the compressor 110 into a refrigerant having a low temperature and low pressure enables smoother condensation because the refrigerant provided from the first refrigerant pipe 161 is in a relatively medium temperature state, and condensation efficiency is also increased. You get better.

In addition, the refrigerant condensed in the condenser 120 is continuously provided to the capillary tube 130, and is expanded to a low temperature low pressure gas refrigerant in the course of passing through the capillary tube 130.

In addition, the expanded refrigerant is provided to the evaporator 140 and then heat exchanged with the high temperature low pressure gas refrigerant while passing through the evaporator 140, and the heat exchanged high temperature low pressure gas refrigerant is provided to the compressor 110 again. And each of the above-described series of steps is repeated.

At this time, the air blown by the second blowing fan 152 is introduced into the main body 100 through the second suction opening 102 and then guided by the second fan housing 155 to the evaporator 140. The air discharged toward the evaporator 140 is subsequently cooled by heat exchange with the evaporator 140.

In addition, the cooled cooling air is discharged to the outside of the main body 100 through the second discharge port 104 to cool the room.

In addition, a part of the blowing air discharged through the second communication hole 155a of the second fan housing 155 while the above-described series of processes are performed passes through the fourth communication hole 105b and the compressor 110. And because it is blown into the basket 170, it is possible to prevent the performance deterioration due to the heat generated by the compressor 110 in advance, and further reduce the high temperature and high pressure refrigerant temperature flowing through the inside of the first refrigerant pipe 161. You can do it.

Meanwhile, in the above-described process, a large amount of condensate is generated and stored in the condensate receiver 141 in the evaporator 140, and the condensate inside the condensate receiver 141 is basket portion 170 along the first drain hose 181. Is provided.

In addition, the first refrigerant pipe 161 accommodated in the basket 170 is continuously heat exchanged with the condensed water (cooling water) to reduce the temperature.

When the level of the condensate water provided through the first drain hose 181 exceeds the set level of the basket 170, the third drain hose 183 communicated with the upper end of the basket 170. It is provided to the condensate storage unit 190 provided at the bottom of the main body (100).

On the other hand, the shut-off valve 182a mounted on the second drain hose 182 is operated to block the inside of the second drain hose 182 when an air conditioner is used for cooling operation, and the air conditioner performs dehumidification operation. The shutoff valve 182a is operated to open the inside of the second drain hose 182 when used for the purpose.

That is, while the air conditioner performs the cooling operation, the condenser 120 can be efficiently condensed by reducing the temperature of the high temperature and high pressure liquid refrigerant provided to the condenser 120 as much as possible, and the air conditioner performs the dehumidification operation. During the process, moisture can be removed only when the temperatures of the condenser 120 and the evaporator 140 are relatively high, thereby preventing the provision of condensate to lower the temperature of the refrigerant.

At this time, when the dehumidification operation is performed, since the second drain hose 182 is in an open state, the coolant in the basket 170 is provided to the condensate storage unit 190 through the second drain hose 182. .

In addition, the condensate storage unit 190 should be drained at any time by the user.

This is possible because the condensate storage unit 190 is made of a transparent material that can be visually observed therein. If the drainage is desired, the condensate storage unit 190 may open a pipe of the drain pipe 191 connected to the condensate storage unit 190. .

As described above, the air conditioner of the present invention has various effects as follows.

First, the air conditioner of the present invention consists of a single configuration of the indoor unit and the outdoor unit, and since the position can be freely changed, the restriction on the installation position of the conventional refrigerant pipe and the limitation on the mounting position of the air conditioner are eliminated. .

Second, the air conditioner of the present invention has the advantage that a high cooling efficiency can be obtained because the maximum temperature can be reduced before the compressed high temperature refrigerant is provided to the condenser.

Third, the air conditioner of the present invention is used to reduce the temperature of the refrigerant by a large amount of condensate generated from the evaporator, and because the condensate can be discharged as needed after the storage of the separate condensate is solved the problem for the condensate Has an effect.
