Patent Application
20240369235
This application relates to the field of air conditioners, and more particularly to a wall-mounted air conditioner.
In the related art, an air inlet of a wall-mounted air conditioner is at its top. In order to meet a requirement for air inflow from the top, the wall-mounted air conditioner has to be at a large distance from an indoor top wall, resulting in low indoor space utilization and making the indoor space more cramped. Moreover, the wall-mounted air conditioner in the related art has low heat exchange efficiency.
Embodiments of the present disclosure propose a wall-mounted air conditioner.
The wall-mounted air conditioner according to embodiments of the present disclosure includes: a housing having an air duct therein. The air duct includes an inlet air duct and an outlet air duct connected to each other, and the air duct has an air inlet and an air outlet. At least a part of the air inlet faces a front surface of the wall-mounted air conditioner. A first intersection angle between a centerline of the inlet air duct and a centerline of the outlet air duct is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 85 degrees.
According to the present disclosure, since at least a part of the air inlet of the wall-mounted air conditioner is on the front surface of the housing, ambient air (air inflow) can enter the air duct substantially from the front of the housing. For example, the ambient air (air inflow) can enter the air duct from the straight front of the housing, or from the top front of the housing, or from the bottom front of the housing. In addition, the ambient air can enter the air duct from at least two directions selected from the straight front of the housing, the top front of the housing, or from the bottom front of the housing.
That is, the ambient air does not necessarily enter the air duct directly above the housing. In such a way, a distance between the wall-mounted air conditioner and an indoor top wall can be greatly decreased or even eliminated, and the utilization rate of indoor space can be improved, especially for indoor space (rooms) with lower heights, which can effectively reduce or eliminate a cramped sense of the indoor space.
Therefore, the wall-mounted air conditioner according to embodiments of the present disclosure has a very low requirement for mounting space. As long as the wall-mounted air conditioner can be accommodated in the mounting space, there is no need to leave an air inflow space above the wall-mounted air conditioner, which can expand the applicability of the wall-mounted air conditioner.
In some embodiments, the air inlet is located on the front surface, inclined upwards towards the wall surface (which can be understood as a mounting surface) relative to a vertical surface. In this way, when a user standing on the ground of the room, the user cannot see the interior of the housing (the wall-mounted air conditioner) through the air inlet, and internal structures of the housing (the wall-mounted air conditioner) are not exposed to the user, which can improve the user's visual comfort.
In one embodiment, in a scenario of air inflow from the top, the top space is often restricted and relatively narrow, which limits the air inflow volume due to the narrow top space. In the embodiments of this application, since at least a part of the air inlet is located on the front surface of the housing, the air entering the air duct through the air inlet can directly flow through the heat exchanger for sufficient heat exchange with the heat exchanger. That is, the air inflow volume of the wall-mounted air conditioner is not limited by the narrow space at the top. The air inflow from the front surface of the housing can effectively increase the air inflow volume and significantly increase the air flow volume through the heat exchanger, greatly enhancing the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
In the present disclosure, since at least a part of the air inlet is located on the front surface of the housing, there is no need to mount a roughly inverted V-shaped heat exchanger below the air inlet, and it is unnecessary to mount a water receiving tray with a width greater than or equal to a width of the roughly inverted V-shaped heat exchanger at a lower end of the heat exchanger, to avoid failure in heat exchange of air with a part of the heat exchanger due to the part being obstructed by the water receiving tray. Since at least a part of the air inlet is located on the front surface of the housing, the water receiving tray will not prevent airflow from flowing to the heat exchanger. For example, the water receiving tray does not pass an airflow path to the heat exchanger, which can greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger. In some embodiments, the water receiving tray is located below the heat exchanger.
Therefore, the wall-mounted air conditioner in the embodiments of the present disclosure has advantages of easy installation, improved indoor space utilization, wide applicability, and high heat exchange efficiency.
In some embodiments, a second intersection angle between the centerline of the outlet air duct and a vertical upward direction is greater than or equal to 120 degrees and less than or equal to 155 degrees.
In some embodiments, a duct wall of the air duct includes a first air inflow plate and a second air inflow plate that are oppositely arranged, and the duct wall of the air duct includes a first air outflow plate and a second air outflow plate that are oppositely arranged; and the inlet air duct is formed between the first air inflow plate and the second air inflow plate, and the outlet air duct is formed between the first air outflow plate and the second air outflow plate.
In some embodiments, the outlet air duct has a first end configured as the air outlet and a second end configured as an air guide port; a fan wheel is arranged in the air duct, and a surface passing through a rotation axis of the fan wheel and an upper edge of the air guide port is a first surface; and a third intersection angle between the first surface and a horizontal surface is greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than or equal to 150 degrees.
In some embodiments, the outlet air duct has a first end configured as the air outlet and a second end configured as an air guide port; a fan wheel is arranged in the air duct, a surface passing through a rotation axis of the fan wheel and an upper edge of the air guide port is a first surface, and a surface passing through the rotation axis of the fan wheel and a lower edge of the air guide port is a second surface; and a fourth intersection angle between the first surface and the second surface is greater than or equal to 120 degrees and less than or equal to 200 degrees.
In some embodiments, the highest point of the second air inflow plate is located below the highest point of the first air inflow plate; the duct wall of the air duct further includes a volute tongue and an air guide plate; two sides of the air guide plate are respectively connected to the first air inflow plate and the first air outflow plate; two sides of the volute tongue are respectively connected to the second air inflow plate and the second air outflow plate; and the fan wheel is located between the volute tongue and the air guide plate.
In some embodiments, a minimum distance between the volute tongue and the fan wheel is greater than or equal to 4 millimeters and less than or equal to 9 millimeters.
In some embodiments, a minimum distance between the air guide plate and the fan wheel is greater than or equal to 4 millimeters and less than or equal to 8 millimeters.
In some embodiments, a fifth intersection angle between a first flat plate portion, adjacent to the air outlet, of the first air outflow plate and a second flat plate portion, adjacent to the air outlet, of the second air outflow plate is greater than or equal to 5 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees.
In some embodiments, a sixth intersection angle between a centerline of the outlet air duct and the second air outflow plate is greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 30 degrees.
Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail below, and examples of the embodiments will be shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below are exemplary and are intended to explain the present disclosure rather than limit the present disclosure.
In the related art, as shown in
A water receiving tray 30′ is provided below a rear lower end 111′ of the first part 11′. The water receiving plate 30′ is opposite to the rear lower end 111′ of the first part 11′ in an up-down direction and is located between the rear lower end 111′ of the first part 11′ and the cross-flow fan wheel 20′. The inventors have realized that the rear lower end 111′ of the first part 11′ is obstructed by the water receiving tray 30′, and the rear lower end 111′ of the first part 11′ does not exchange heat with air, resulting in waste and lowering heat transfer efficiency.
An inlet air duct 50′ is formed between the second part 12′ and a front panel 40′ of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1′. However, the inventors have realized that since most of the space in a front-rear direction of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1′ is occupied by the heat exchanger 10′, the cross-flow fan wheel 20′ and a volute 60′, the inlet air duct 50′ is relatively narrow, resulting in a small air flow volume through the inlet air duct 50′ and a low heat transfer efficiency of the second part 12′.
A wall-mounted air conditioner 1 according to embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below according to the drawings. As shown in
For example, the front surface 11 of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 is also a front surface 11 of the housing 10. Therefore, the fact that at least a part of the air inlet 311 faces the front surface 11 of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 means that at least a part of the air inlet 311 is on the front surface 11 of the housing 10. The front surface 11 of the housing 10 is a surface that can be seen by a horizontal backward line of sight, that is, a surface of the housing 10 that can be seen by the horizontal backward line of sight is the front surface 11 of the housing 10. For example, when an observer's eyes are roughly at the same level as the housing 10 and the observer is in front of the housing 10, a surface of the housing 10 that the observer can see is the front surface 11 of the housing 10. A top surface 12 of the housing 10 is a surface on the top of the housing 10 and is generally invisible to the observer in front of the housing 10.
A front-rear direction is shown by arrow A in
According to the present disclosure, since at least a part of the air inlet of the wall-mounted air conditioner is on the front surface of the housing, ambient air (air inflow) can enter the air duct substantially from the front of the housing. For example, the ambient air (air inflow) can enter the air duct from the straight front of the housing, or from the top front of the housing, or from the bottom front of the housing. In addition, the ambient air can enter the air duct from at least two directions selected from the straight front of the housing, the top front of the housing, or from the bottom front of the housing.
That is, the ambient air does not necessarily enter the air duct directly above the housing. In such a way, a distance between the wall-mounted air conditioner and an indoor top wall can be greatly decreased or even eliminated, and the utilization rate of indoor space can be improved, especially for indoor space (rooms) with lower heights, which can effectively reduce or eliminate a cramped sense of the indoor space.
Therefore, the wall-mounted air conditioner according to embodiments of the present disclosure has a very low requirement for mounting space. As long as the wall-mounted air conditioner can be accommodated in the mounting space, there is no need to leave an air inflow space above the wall-mounted air conditioner, which can expand the applicability of the wall-mounted air conditioner.
In some embodiments, the air inlet 311 is located on the front surface, inclined upwards towards the wall surface 2 (which can be understood as a mounting surface) relative to a vertical surface. In this way, when a user standing on the ground of the room, the user cannot see the interior of the housing 10 (the wall-mounted air conditioner 1) through the air inlet 311, and internal structures of the housing 10 (the wall-mounted air conditioner 1) are not exposed to the user, which can improve the user's visual comfort.
In one embodiment, in a scenario of air inflow from the top, the top space is often restricted and relatively narrow, which limits the air inflow volume due to the narrow top space. In the embodiments of this application, since at least a part of the air inlet is located on the front surface of the housing, the air entering the air duct through the air inlet can directly flow through the heat exchanger for sufficient heat exchange with the heat exchanger. That is, the air inflow volume of the wall-mounted air conditioner is not limited by the narrow space at the top. The air inflow from the front surface of the housing can effectively increase the air inflow volume and significantly increase the air flow volume through the heat exchanger, greatly enhancing the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger.
In the present disclosure, since at least a part of the air inlet 311 is located on the front surface of the housing 10, there is no need to mount a roughly inverted V-shaped heat exchanger below the air inlet 311, and it is unnecessary to mount a water receiving tray with a width greater than or equal to a width of the roughly inverted V-shaped heat exchanger at a lower end of the heat exchanger, to avoid failure in heat exchange of air with a part of the heat exchanger due to the part being obstructed by the water receiving tray. Since at least a part of the air inlet 311 is located on the front surface of the housing 10, the water receiving tray 15 will not prevent airflow from flowing to the heat exchanger. For example, the water receiving tray 15 does not pass an airflow path to the heat exchanger 20, which can greatly improve the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchanger 20. In some embodiments, the water receiving tray 15 is located below the heat exchanger 20.
Therefore, the wall-mounted air conditioner in the embodiments of the present disclosure has advantages of easy installation, improved indoor space utilization, wide applicability, and high heat exchange efficiency.
In some embodiments, the first intersection angle θ1 is greater than or equal to 20 degrees and less than or equal to 80 degrees. In some embodiments, the first intersection angle θ1 is greater than or equal to 40 degrees and less than or equal to 75 degrees. In some embodiments, the first intersection angle θ1 greater than or equal to 60 degrees and less than or equal to 75 degrees. In some embodiments, the first intersection angle θ1 greater than or equal to 70 degrees and less than or equal to 75 degrees. Consequently, the air can flow more smoothly in the air duct 30 and the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be further improved.
In some embodiments, the first intersection angle θ1 may be 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, 45 degrees, 50 degrees, 55 degrees, 60 degrees, 65 degrees, 70 degrees, 71 degrees, 72 degrees, 73 degrees, 74 degrees, 75 degrees, 76 degrees, 77 degrees, 78 degrees, 79 degrees, 80 degrees, or 85 degrees. As shown in
As shown in
The top surface 12 may be a horizontal surface. That is, the top surface 12 may extend horizontally backwards from the front surface 11, and the top surface 12 cannot be seen by the horizontal backward line of sight. In addition, the top surface 12 may also be an inclined surface that tilts backwards and downwards. That is, the top surface 12 may be an inclined surface, and the top surface 12 may extend backwards and downwards from the front surface 11, and the top surface 12 cannot be seen by the horizontal backward line of sight.
The heat exchanger 20 is arranged inside the housing 10. The air duct 30 is inside the housing 10 and has the air inlet 311 and the air outlet 312. In some embodiments, a position of the air outlet 312 is lower than a position of the air inlet 311, which makes the structure of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 more reasonable.

In some embodiments, as shown in
As shown in
In one embodiment, there may be a mounting space in front and/or rear of the outlet air duct 322, to allow the components originally mounted on a side (such as a left side and/or a right side) of the length direction of the air duct 30 to be mounted in the mounting space. Consequently, the length of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be effectively decreased, and the installation difficulty of and space required for the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be reduced. A left-right direction is as indicated by arrow E in
In some embodiments, the second intersection angle θ2 is greater than or equal to 130 degrees and less than or equal to 150 degrees. In one embodiment, the second intersection angle θ2 is greater than or equal to 140 degrees and less than or equal to 145 degrees. The flow direction of the cold air (hot air) discharged from the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be further optimized to improve the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In one embodiment, the second intersection angle θ2 may be but is not limited to 120 degrees, 125 degrees, 130 degrees, 135 degrees, 140 degrees, 141 degrees, 142 degrees, 143 degrees, 144 degrees, 145 degrees, 150 degrees, or 155 degrees.
As shown in
In some embodiments, at least a part of the first air outflow plate 325 is located behind at least a part of the second air outflow plate 326, and at least a part of the first air inflow plate 323 is located above at least a part of the second air inflow plate 324. The highest point of the second air inflow plate 324 is located below the highest point of the first air inflow plate 323, which can make the structure of the air duct 30 more reasonable.
The outlet air duct 322 has a first end configured as the air outlet 312 and a second end configured as an air guide port (an opening, adjacent to the inlet air duct 321, of the outlet air duct 322, i.e., an air inlet of the outlet air duct 322). A surface passing through a rotation axis of the fan wheel 40 and an upper edge of the air guide port is a first surface A1, and a surface passing through the rotation axis of the fan wheel 40 and a lower edge of the air guide port is a second surface A2. In the vertical plane perpendicular to the length direction of the air duct 30, a projection of the rotation axis of the fan wheel 40 is a base point O in
At least a part of the air inlet of the outlet air duct 322 (the air guide port of the outlet air duct 322) is opened forwards and upwards, allowing the air flowing through the air inlet 311 and the inlet air duct 321 to enter the outlet air duct 322 more smoothly, to improve the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1. In other words, at least a part of an air outlet (an opening of the inlet air duct 321 adjacent to the outlet air duct 322) of the inlet air duct 321 can be opened backwards and downwards, enabling the air in the inlet air duct 321 to enter the outlet air duct 322 more smoothly, to improve the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In some embodiments, the third intersection angle θ3 is greater than or equal to 70 degrees and less than or equal to 130 degrees. In some embodiments, the third intersection angle θ3 is greater than or equal to 80 degrees and less than or equal to 120 degrees. In some embodiments, the third intersection angle θ3 is greater than or equal to 90 degrees and less than or equal to 110 degrees. Consequently, the air flowing through the air inlet 311 and the inlet air duct 321 can enter the outlet air duct 322 more smoothly, further improving the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In some embodiments, the third intersection angle θ3 may be 60 degrees, 65 degrees, 70 degrees, 75 degrees, 80 degrees, 85 degrees, 90 degrees, 92 degrees, 95 degrees, 100 degrees, 102 degrees, 105 degrees, 110 degrees, 115 degrees, 120 degrees, 125 degrees, 130 degrees, 135 degrees, 140 degrees, 145 degrees, or 150 degrees.
As shown in
The air inlet of the outlet air duct 322 can have a larger inlet angle, to allow more air to enter the outlet air duct 322 and ensure a larger air flow volume in the outlet air duct 322. Hence, the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can have a larger air outflow volume, further improving the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In some embodiments, the fourth intersection angle θ4 is greater than or equal to 130 degrees and less than or equal to 190 degrees. In some embodiments, the fourth intersection angle θ4 is greater than or equal to 140 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees. In some embodiments, the fourth intersection angle θ4 is greater than or equal to 155 degrees and less than or equal to 175 degrees. It is possible to ensure the large air flow volume through the outlet air duct 322 and the large air outflow volume of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1, to improve the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1. The fourth intersection angle θ4 may be a suction angle of the fan wheel 40.
In some embodiments, the fourth intersection angle θ4 may be 120 degrees, 125 degrees, 130 degrees, 135 degrees, 140 degrees, 145 degrees, 150 degrees, 152 degrees, 155 degrees, 157 degrees, 160 degrees, 162 degrees, 165 degrees, 167 degrees, 170 degrees, 172 degrees, 175 degrees, 180 degrees, 185 degrees, 190 degrees, 195 degrees, or 200 degrees.
As shown in
Further, a fifth intersection angle θ5 between the first flat plate portion 3251 and the second flat plate portion 3261 is greater than or equal to 5 degrees and less than or equal to 45 degrees. As a result, the air flow volume through the outlet air duct 322 (i.e., the air outflow volume of the outlet air duct 322) can be ensured, and meanwhile the space occupied by the outlet air duct 322 can be reduced, to provide sufficient mounting space in front of and/or behind the outlet air duct 322, allowing the components originally mounted on the side (such as the left side and/or the right side) of the length direction of the air duct 30 to be mounted in the mounting space. Consequently, the length of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be effectively decreased, and the installation difficulty of and space required for the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the fifth intersection angle θ5 is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 40 degrees. In some embodiments, the fifth intersection angle θ5 is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 30 degrees. In some embodiments, the fifth intersection angle θ5 is greater than or equal to 10 degrees and less than or equal to 20 degrees. In such a way, the air flow volume through the outlet air duct 322 can be increased, and the mounting space in front of and/or behind the outlet air duct 322 can be enlarged, which can further enhance the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1, decrease the length of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1, and reduce the installation difficulty and space required for the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In some embodiments, the fifth intersection angle θ5 may be 5 degrees, 10 degrees, 11 degrees, 12 degrees, 13 degrees, 14 degrees, 15 degrees, 16 degrees, 17 degrees, 18 degrees, 19 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, 30 degrees, 35 degrees, 40 degrees, or 45 degrees.
A sixth intersection angle θ6 between the centerline L1 of the outlet air duct 322 and the second flat plate portion 3261 is greater than or equal to 0 degree and less than or equal to 30 degrees. As a result, the air flow volume through the outlet air duct 322 (i.e., the air outflow volume of the outlet air duct 322) can be ensured, and meanwhile the space occupied by the outlet air duct 322 can be reduced, to provide sufficient mounting space in front of and/or behind the outlet air duct 322, allowing the components originally mounted on the side (such as the left side and/or the right side) of the length direction of the air duct 30 to be mounted in the mounting space. Consequently, the length of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be effectively decreased, and the installation difficulty of and space required for the wall-mounted air conditioner 1 can be reduced.
In some embodiments, the sixth intersection angle θ6 is greater than or equal to 1 degree and less than or equal to 25 degrees. In some embodiments, the sixth intersection angle θ6 is greater than or equal to 2 degrees and less than or equal to 20 degrees. In some embodiments, the sixth intersection angle θ6 is greater than or equal to 3 degrees and less than or equal to 10 degrees. In such a way, the air flow volume through the outlet air duct 322 can be increased, and the mounting space in front of and/or behind the outlet air duct 322 can be enlarged, which can further enhance the cooling and heating effect of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1, decrease the length of the wall-mounted air conditioner 1, and reduce the installation difficulty and space required for the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In some embodiments, the sixth intersection angle θ6 may be 1 degree, 2 degrees, 3 degrees, 4 degrees, 5 degrees, 6 degrees, 7 degrees, 8 degrees, 9 degrees, 10 degrees, 15 degrees, 20 degrees, 25 degrees, or 30 degrees.

A minimum distance H1 between the air guide plate 328 and the fan wheel 40 is greater than or equal to 4 millimeters and less than or equal to 8 millimeters. In some embodiments, the minimum distance H1 between the air guide plate 328 and an outer contour 41 of a projection of the fan wheel 40 is greater than or equal to 4 millimeters and less than or equal to 8 millimeters. In such a way, the air flow volume through the outlet air duct 322 (i.e., the air outflow volume of the outlet air duct 322) can be ensured and meanwhile the space occupied by the air duct 30 can be reduced, to reduce the space occupied by the wall-mounted air conditioner 1.
In some embodiments, the minimum distance H1 between the air guide plate 328 and the fan wheel 40 is greater than or equal to 5 millimeters and less than or equal to 7 millimeters. In some embodiments, the minimum distance H1 between the air guide plate 328 and the fan wheel 40 is greater than or equal to 5.5 millimeters and less than or equal to 6.5 millimeters.
