Description

Outdoor unit and air conditioner

This application is based on a Chinese patent application with an application number of 202010759832.7 and an application date of July 31, 2020, and claims the priority of the Chinese patent application. The entire content of the Chinese patent application is hereby incorporated into this application by reference.

Technical field

This application relates to the field of air conditioning heat dissipation technology, for example, to an outdoor unit and an air conditioner.

Background technique

When the air conditioner is running under high temperature in summer, due to the high outdoor environment temperature, the heat generated by the operation of the computer board and other electronic control components installed in the outdoor unit is often not discharged in time, which causes the temperature of the electronic control component itself to increase. The higher the value, the higher the temperature, the higher the damage. In response to this situation in the related art, heat dissipation modules such as heat sinks are usually used to reduce the temperature of the electrical components on the electronic control assembly. Generally, a heat dissipation module is installed on one side of the electronic control assembly to take advantage of the negative pressure generated by the rotation of the fan. The wind takes away the heat from the cooling module and the electronic control components.

In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related technology:

The electric control component of the existing outdoor unit is generally set in the compressor chamber isolated from the fan chamber where the fan is located. Since the compressor chamber is relatively closed, the airflow in the compressor chamber must be blown out after passing through the electric control component. It takes a lot of fan negative pressure to reach the fan chamber. Therefore, under the actual working conditions of the outdoor unit, not only will there be problems such as slow air flow rate and low heat dissipation effect due to the low negative pressure on the side of the electronic control component, but also Due to the partial negative pressure of the fan, the flow rate of the airflow passing through the outdoor heat exchanger will be slowed down, and the heat exchange effect on the outdoor heat exchanger will also be reduced, which affects the refrigeration performance of the air conditioner.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of an outdoor unit provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, and Fig. 2 is a partial exploded view of Fig. 1.

1 and 2, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides an outdoor unit, the outdoor unit includes an outer casing 11 and a number of functional modules; wherein the outer casing 11 is made of hard materials, such as aluminum Alloy, stainless steel, etc., internally defines a chamber that can be used to house the above-mentioned several functional modules. The chamber can play a role in protecting the functional modules to reduce the adverse effects of the outdoor environment on the normal operation of the functional modules; the functional modules mainly include replacement Heater 121, fan 122, compressor 123, liquid storage tank 124 and electronic control component 4, etc.; among them, heat exchanger 121 is used for heat exchange between the refrigerant and the outdoor environment, specifically including the refrigerant to the outdoor environment in the cooling or dehumidification mode Release heat, and in the heating mode, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the outdoor environment; the fan 122 is used to drive the airflow of the outdoor environment to flow through the heat exchanger 121, so that the refrigerant continuously exchanges heat with the outdoor airflow newly delivered by the fan 122; The machine 123 is used to compress the refrigerant so that the refrigerant can reach the set high temperature and high pressure state; the liquid storage tank 124 is used to store the refrigerant and divert the refrigerant in the gas-liquid state; the electronic control assembly 4 is a component that realizes the control function , It can control the operating parameters of the compressor 123, the fan 122 and other functional modules according to the preset program.

In the embodiment, the outer casing 11 is an approximately rectangular shell structure composed of six panels: a front panel, a back panel, a top plate, a bottom plate, and two side panels 111; the cavity of the outer casing 11 can pass through the partition The plate 112 is formed separately, the number of chambers is two or more, and the chambers are independent of each other, and each chamber can be used for accommodating one or more functional modules. Here, each chamber can provide a relatively independent working space for one or more functional modules contained therein, so as to reduce interference effects between functional modules placed in different chambers, and ensure the normal and stable operation of each functional module.

In this embodiment, from the frontal perspective shown in FIG. 1, the outer casing 11 is separated by a vertical partition 112 to define a first chamber and a second chamber. The longitudinal ends of the partition 112 are They are respectively fixedly connected to the top and bottom plates of the outer casing 11, and the lateral sides are respectively fixedly connected to the front and back plates of the outer casing 11, so that the first chamber and the second chamber are isolated from each other. There is little or no air flow between the chambers. In the figure, the first chamber is located on the left side of the outer casing 11, and the second chamber is located on the right side of the outer casing 11. The respective space volumes of the two chambers are determined according to the size of the functional modules contained therein. It is determined that in this embodiment, the first chamber is mainly used as a chamber for accommodating the fan 122 and the heat exchanger 121, and the second chamber is mainly used as a chamber for accommodating the compressor 123, the liquid storage tank 124, and the electronic control component 4. Therefore, the space volume of the first chamber is larger than the space volume of the second chamber. In the embodiment, the panel surrounding and forming the second chamber includes a front panel, a back panel, right parts of the top and bottom panels, a side panel 111 on the right side, and a partition 112.

In this embodiment, an auxiliary air inlet 2 is provided on the corresponding side wall of the second chamber. The auxiliary air inlet 2 can communicate with the outdoor environment and the second chamber, so that air can flow between the outdoor environment and the second chamber. Circulation; the technical solution of this application mainly restricts the unidirectional flow of airflow from the outdoor environment into the second chamber through the auxiliary air inlet 2. Compared with the relatively closed compressor 123 chamber in the conventional technology, the newly opened auxiliary air inlet 2 The second chamber becomes a semi-closed chamber and can effectively increase the air inlet and air pressure in the second chamber, so that the negative pressure loss of the fan 122 in the first chamber can be greatly reduced when the electric control assembly 4 is dissipated.

In some embodiments, the number of auxiliary air inlets 2 can be 1, or 2, 3, etc. The specific number of auxiliary air inlets 2 can be determined according to the actual required air volume for heat dissipation. When the required air volume is large, the number of auxiliary air inlets 2 can be set to three, and when the actual required air volume for heat dissipation is small, the number of auxiliary air inlets 2 can be set to one.

Optionally, for an outdoor unit with one auxiliary air inlet 2 set, the auxiliary air inlet 2 may be set on one of the front panel, back panel, top panel, bottom panel, and side panel 111, as shown in Figure 1 In the example, the auxiliary air inlet 2 is provided on the side plate 111. For the auxiliary air inlet 2 provided on the top plate, since the auxiliary air inlet 2 is facing upwards, rain and snow in bad weather can easily enter the second chamber through the auxiliary air inlet 2, and long-term use will cause the functional modules in the second chamber The aging speeds up and the service life is reduced. Therefore, it is generally necessary to install additional rain and snow shielding structures, such as rain shields and other components.

For an outdoor unit with more than one auxiliary air inlet 2 installed, the auxiliary air inlet 2 may be arranged at one or more of the front panel, the back panel, the top panel, the bottom panel, and the side panel 111. In an optional embodiment, one auxiliary air inlet 2 is provided on the multiple panels of the outdoor unit, for example, one auxiliary air inlet 2 is provided on each of the front panel and the side panel 111; in another optional embodiment, the outdoor There are multiple auxiliary air inlets 2 on the same panel of the machine, such as two or three auxiliary air inlets 2 on the same side plate 111. Here, the arrangement form of the multiple auxiliary air inlets 2 can be flexibly adjusted according to specific heat dissipation requirements, and the present application is not limited to this.

In some optional embodiments, the structural form of the auxiliary air inlet 2 may be a symmetrical regular shape such as a circle, an ellipse, and a square, or may also be other asymmetrical irregular shapes, and the application is not limited thereto. In this embodiment, the structure of the auxiliary air inlet 2 is selected to be circular.

In this embodiment, the partition 112 is provided with a heat dissipation air outlet, and the heat dissipation air outlet can communicate with the second chamber and the second chamber, so that air can circulate between the first chamber and the second chamber; the present application The technical solution is mainly to restrict the one-way flow of air flow from the second chamber into the first chamber through the heat dissipation air outlet. At the same time, since the side plate 111 is arranged relative to the partition 112, the air flow entering through the auxiliary air inlet 2 on the side plate 111 It flows through most of the electronic control assembly 4 and then flows to the heat dissipation air outlet. The air flow can exchange heat with most of the components of the electronic control assembly 4 during the flow process, which can effectively ensure the overall performance of the electronic control assembly 4. heat radiation.

Here, the outer unit casing 11 of the outdoor unit is provided with an outdoor unit air inlet at a position corresponding to the back panel of the first chamber, an outdoor unit air outlet is provided at the front panel position, and the fan 122 is located between the outdoor unit air inlet and the outdoor unit air outlet. In the meantime, the airflow generated by its operation flows from the air inlet of the outdoor machine to the air outlet of the outer machine. Therefore, the side close to the backplane (or the air inlet of the outdoor machine) is the air inlet side of the fan 122, and is close to the front panel (or the air outlet of the outdoor machine). One side of the tuyere is the air outlet side of the fan 122. The heat dissipation air outlet is provided corresponding to the air inlet side of the fan 122. In this embodiment, the heat dissipation air outlet is set corresponding to the air inlet side of the fan 122. Compared with the outdoor environment, the air inlet side of the fan 122 is in a negative pressure state, and the second chamber is connected to the outdoor environment through the auxiliary air inlet 2. The state is the same, so that the air pressure at the side of the heat dissipation air outlet corresponding to the first chamber is lower than the side of the corresponding second chamber, so that the air in the second chamber can flow to the first chamber under negative pressure. ,

In the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the heat dissipation air outlet is located on the top of the partition 112 and close to the side of the back plate. The electronic control assembly 4 is arranged corresponding to the heat dissipation air outlet, so that the airflow in the second chamber can flow out to the first chamber through the electronic control assembly 4 and the heat dissipation air outlet in sequence.

In some optional embodiments, in order to reduce the negative pressure of the fan 122 that is divided when the driving airflow flows from the second chamber to the first chamber, the outdoor unit of the present application is further provided with a wind driving device at the outlet of the auxiliary air inlet 2. It is used to drive the external airflow into the second chamber through the auxiliary air inlet 2. When the wind driven device is running, it can continuously send the air from the outdoor environment into the second chamber, and the amount of air in the second chamber increases The air pressure increases, so that the air pressure difference between the second chamber and the first chamber becomes larger, so that the air flow and the air flow velocity flowing through the electronic control assembly 4 can be increased, thereby enhancing the heat dissipation efficiency. Especially when the fan 122 of the outdoor unit is running at a low speed, the negative pressure on the air inlet side is small, and the heat dissipation airflow generated by the shunted negative pressure pressure alone is less and the flow rate is slow. At this time, it is driven by the running wind. The device can increase the positive pressure of the second chamber to speed up the heat dissipation air flow and flow rate, so as to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control assembly 4.

In some embodiments not shown in the drawings, the wind driving device includes a driving motor 31 and a plurality of fan blades, the plurality of fan blades are drivingly connected to the driving motor 31, and the driving motor 31 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit of the outdoor unit; After the driving motor 31 is powered on, the driving motor 31 drives a plurality of fan blades to rotate, so as to generate wind power that drives the air flow from the outdoor side to the second chamber.

In this embodiment, the axial projection range of the fan blade can cover at least the auxiliary air inlet 2, and the cross-sectional area of the wind field generated by the rotation of the fan blade can cover the maximum air intake area of the auxiliary air inlet 2, which can effectively ensure the auxiliary air inlet 2. The air volume of the inlet air further enhances the heat dissipation effect of the electronic control assembly 4.

Optionally, the number of fan blades may be three leaves, or five leaves, etc., which is not limited in this application.

In still other alternative embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2a, the wind driving device includes a driving motor 31 and a rotating filter screen 32. Similar to the previous embodiment, the rotating filter screen 32 is drivingly connected to the driving motor 31, and the driving motor 31 is electrically connected to the power supply circuit of the outdoor unit. After the driving motor 31 is powered on, the driving motor 31 drives the rotating filter screen 32 to rotate, which can also generate wind driving air flow from the outdoor side to the second chamber. Compared with the previous embodiment, this embodiment replaces the fan blades with a rotating filter 32. The rotating filter 32 can not only generate wind power during operation, but also can use its own filter characteristics to achieve a filtering effect on the outside. The dust, branches and leaves mixed in the airflow are filtered out, so that the filtered airflow is in a relatively clean state, which effectively guarantees the cleanliness of the interior of the second chamber during the long-term use of the outdoor unit.

In the embodiment, the rotating filter 32 is located outside the auxiliary air inlet 2 so that impurities can be filtered out before entering the auxiliary air inlet 2. Here, the rotating filter screen 32 is arranged next to the outside of the auxiliary air inlet 2 to reduce the axial gap distance between the rotating filter screen 32 and the auxiliary air inlet 2 without interfering with the normal rotation of the rotating filter screen 32, so as to reduce the distance between the rotating screen 32 and the auxiliary air inlet 2 The flow of the airflow flowing in from the outer circumference of the rotating filter screen 32 makes most of the airflow filtered by the rotating filter screen 32 and then enters the auxiliary air inlet 2 to further ensure the filtering effect of the external air.

There is a risk that the grille bar 322 will be pulled off.

In still other embodiments, the reinforcing structure further includes a reinforcing ring rib 325, which is arranged coaxially with the shaft seat 321 and located in the middle position between the shaft seat 321 and the outer ring frame 323.

In some optional embodiments, the electric control assembly 4 includes an electric control box 41, an electric control module, and a heat dissipation module. As shown in FIG. 6, the electronic control box body 41 has a first accommodating portion 411 and a second accommodating portion 412, wherein the first accommodating portion 411 is used for accommodating one or more electronic control modules, and the first accommodating portion 411 is used for accommodating one or more electronic control modules. The accommodating portion 411 is located in the second chamber; the second accommodating portion 412 is used for accommodating the heat dissipation module, which extends into the first chamber through the heat dissipation air outlet and is located on the air inlet side of the outdoor unit fan 122. The heat dissipation module and the first One or more electronic control modules in the accommodating part 411 are in thermal contact, so in addition to using the airflow from the second chamber to the first chamber to dissipate heat from the electronic control module by convection, the heat generated by the electronic control module It can also be transferred to the heat dissipation module through heat conduction, so that the heat dissipation module is air-cooled to dissipate heat.

In order to ensure that the airflow in the second chamber can flow through the electronic control module in the electronic control box body 41 that needs to dissipate heat and absorb heat and reduce the temperature, the first accommodating portion 411 in this embodiment is configured as a semi-closed structure. Specifically, the first One or more side walls of the accommodating portion 411 are provided in an opening form, so that the airflow in the second chamber can flow into the first accommodating portion 411 through the opening; at the same time, the first accommodating portion 411 and the second accommodating portion A plurality of ventilation meshes 413 are arranged between 412, and the air entering the first accommodating portion 411 can be blown to the heat dissipation air outlet through the ventilating mesh 413, and the ventilation mesh 413 can be used as a channel for air to flow out of the first accommodating portion 411 , So that the air in the second chamber can continuously flow into the first accommodating portion 411 for heat exchange.

In still other embodiments not shown in the drawings, the outdoor unit further includes an independent heat dissipation air duct, the air inlet end of the heat dissipation air duct is arranged at the auxiliary air inlet 2 and the air outlet is arranged at the first accommodating part 411, so that, The external air flowing in through the auxiliary air inlet 2 can be directly blown into the first accommodating portion 411 through the heat dissipation air duct for heat exchange. Compared with the other embodiments described above, the heat dissipation air duct can make the external air concentrated and used for electricity exchange. The heat dissipation of the control module can be effectively reduced, and the wind pressure loss of the wind driven device can be effectively reduced, thereby accelerating the heat dissipation efficiency of the external air to the electronic control module.

In some optional embodiments, the inlet air volume or the inlet wind speed of the wind driving device can be adjusted in a controlled manner. Here, by adjusting the rotation speed of the driving motor 31 of the wind driving device, the amount of wind or the speed of the wind entering through the auxiliary air inlet 2 can be controlled. Optionally, the rotation speed control of the driving motor 31 may be adjusted according to the heat dissipation requirement of the electronic control module or the rotation speed of the fan 122 of the outdoor unit.

In some embodiments, the electronic control component 4 is provided with a temperature sensor (not shown in the figure), the temperature sensor can be used to detect the real-time temperature of the electronic control component 4, so the current real-time temperature of the electronic control component 4 can be used to determine its heat dissipation Demand, when the real-time temperature measured by the electronic control component 4 is high, it indicates that the heat dissipation demand is high, and vice versa, the heat dissipation demand is low.

Here, the electronic control assembly 4 further includes a speed control module (not shown in the figure), and the speed control module is electrically connected to the temperature sensor; for example, the speed control module is configured to detect the temperature by the temperature sensor being less than the first temperature threshold. When the wind driving device is controlled to supply air at the first inlet air volume or the first inlet wind speed; and when the temperature detected by the temperature detector is greater than or equal to the first temperature threshold, the wind driving device is controlled to use the second inlet air volume Or the second inlet wind speed for air supply. Wherein, the first inlet air volume is less than the second inlet air volume, and the second inlet wind speed is less than the second inlet wind speed.

Here, the control of the inlet air volume or the inlet wind speed of the wind driven device is positively correlated with the real-time temperature detected by the temperature sensor, that is, when it is judged based on the real-time temperature that the heat dissipation demand of the electronic control component 4 is high, the wind power is adjusted The intake air volume of the driving device is increased and the intake air speed is accelerated to accelerate the heat exchange effect between the air and the electronic control module, and improve the heat dissipation rate; and when it is judged based on the real-time temperature that the heat dissipation demand of the electronic control module 4 is low, Adjust the wind-driven device to reduce the air inlet air volume and slow down the wind speed, so as to reduce the operating power consumption of the wind-driven device while meeting the heat dissipation requirements of the electronic control module.

In still other embodiments, the rotational speed control module is configured to adjust the air intake volume or the air intake speed of the wind driving device according to the rotational speed of the fan 122 of the outdoor unit. Here, when the fan 122 of the outdoor unit rotates at a high speed, the negative pressure formed on the air inlet side is large, and the negative pressure difference between the first chamber and the second chamber is large, so the external airflow can be faster The speed flows into the second chamber from the outside, and then blows into the first chamber after absorbing heat, the actual heat dissipation efficiency is faster; on the contrary, the negative pressure on the air inlet side of the outdoor unit fan 122 is lower, and the actual heat dissipation efficiency is Slower. Therefore, in this embodiment, when the actual heat dissipation efficiency is relatively fast, the inlet air volume or speed of the wind driven device can be controlled to decrease, and when the actual heat dissipation efficiency is slow, the inlet wind of the wind driven device can be controlled to increase. The air volume or the inlet wind speed can be adapted to the different heat dissipation requirements of the electronic control component 4.

Exemplarily, when the rotation speed of the outdoor unit fan 122 is less than the first rotation speed threshold, the rotation speed control module controls the wind driving device to supply air at the first inlet air volume or the first inlet wind speed; When the rotation speed is greater than or equal to the first rotation speed threshold, the wind driving device is controlled to send air at the second inlet air volume or the second inlet wind speed. Wherein, the first inlet air volume is less than the second inlet air volume, and the second inlet wind speed is less than the second inlet wind speed.
