Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a connector in one embodiment. - In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more comprehensible, the present invention is further illustrated in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
- Reference is made to an embodiment of a vertical air conditioner as shown in
Figs. 1 to 5 , whereinFig. 1 is a perspective view of the vertical air conditioner of this embodiment,Fig. 2 is a structural exploded view ofFig. 1 ,Figs. 3 and4 are respectively a perspective view and a structural exploded view of a base in the embodiment, andFig. 5 is a perspective view of a connector in the embodiment. - As shown in
Figs. 1 to 5 , the vertical air conditioner of this embodiment comprises abase 1 and anair conditioner body 2 in the form of a cylinder as a whole, and thebase 1 is detachably fitted with theair conditioner body 2. It is not limited to the cylindrical structure, but may be of other structures. For example, theair conditioner body 2 and thebase 1 are both of a rectangular cubic structure and the like. In the vertical air conditioner, thebase 1 serves as the overall bottom seat of theair conditioner body 2, is placed on the ground, and raises theair conditioner body 2 to a certain height. Theair conditioner body 2 is an existing air conditioner that realizes basic functions such as air conditioning refrigeration, heating and dehumidification, and the structure, working principle and working process thereof can be found in the prior art, and will not be specifically illustrated and described herein. - The
air conditioner base 1 comprises abase body 11, which has afitting part 1121 on thebase body 11, and thefitting part 1121 is used to enable thebase 1 to be detachably fitted with theair conditioner body 2. Thus, thebase 1 becomes a structure substantially independent from theair conditioner body 2. Abody air inlet 1141 and abody air outlet 1151 are formed on thebase body 11, a cavity is formed in thebase body 11, and afan 122 and anair handling module 13 are formed in the cavity. Theair handling module 13 herein refers to a module for realizing a basic handling function other than the heating, refrigeration, dehumidification, etc. of air in the conventional air conditioners, that is, a module for realizing an additional function such as humidification, purification, or refreshing of air. - Since the
body air inlet 1141 and thebody air outlet 1151 are formed on thebase body 11, and thefan 122 and theair handling module 13 are formed in thebase body 11, thebase 1 itself forms a separate air supply system. By means of the rational design of the structure, when thefan 122 works, the external air is sucked intobase body 11 through thebody air inlet 1141, passes through theair handling module 13 and is handled thereby, and then is blown out from thebody air outlet 1151, such that the handling of air is achieved by using theair handling module 13. For example, if theair handling module 13 is a humidification module, the air will be humidified in the environment; ifair handling module 13 is a purification module, the air will be cleaned in the environment; and if theair handling module 13 is an aromatherapy deodorization module, the air will be subjected to aromatherapy deodorization in the environment, and so on. In addition, since thebase 1 is substantially independent from theair conditioner body 2, it can be individually controlled to realize the independent operation of the additional air handling function and the original basic function of the air conditioner. Since thebase 1 does not rely on the original space and air duct structure of theair conditioner body 2, the original air conditioning performance of the air conditioner will not be affected, and there is no need to specially design the structure of the air duct of the air conditioner, thereby simplifying the structure and design for realizing multiple air conditioning functions. - Specifically, as shown in
Figs. 3 and4 , thebase body 11 comprises abottom seat 111, a basemain body 112, abase support 113, arear shell 114, and afront shell 115. Thebottom seat 111 is detachably connected to the basemain body 112 as a chassis structure for theentire base 1. For example, the detachable connection is made by screws, fasteners, and the like. Thefitting part 1121 of theentire base 1 is formed on the basemain body 112 at the top end opposite to thebottom seat 111, so that thefitting part 1121 is located at the top of theentire base 1. The basemain body 112 is internally formed with a cavity for accommodating thefan 122, theair handling module 13, and other structures to be fitted. In this way, it is bound to make the supporting strength of the basemain body 112 become worse. In order to increase the supporting strength and supporting stability of theentire base 1, abase support 113 is formed between thebottom seat 111 and the basemain body 112, and specifically between thebottom seat 111 and thefitting part 1121. An outer periphery of the basemain body 112 is formed with a shell surrounding the basemain body 112. Specifically, the housing surrounding the basemain body 112 comprises arear shell 114 and afront shell 115, and thefront shell 115 is divided into left and right portions. Therear shell 114 and thefront shell 115 are respectively fixedly connected to thebottom seat 111, the basemain body 112 and the base support 113 via fasteners, screws or the like. Thebody air inlet 1141 is formed on therear shell 114 for introducing external air; and thebody air outlet 1151 is formed on thefront shell 115 for delivering the air handled by theair handling module 13. - An
air outflow assembly 12 is formed in the cavity formed by the basemain body 112, whichair outflow assembly 12 comprises anair outflow frame 121, and thefan 122 is formed in theair outflow frame 121. Specifically, theair outflow assembly 12 and the basemain body 112 are fixed via a fastener, a screw or the like; and thefan 122 is a centrifugal fan and is fixed in theair outflow frame 121. Opening are provided at two ends of theair outflow frame 121, with one end facing thebottom seat 111 and the other end facing thefitting part 1121. Theair outflow frame 121 forms an air outflowframe air inlet 1211 at the end of thebottom seat 111 and is in communication with thebody air inlet 1141 on thebase body 11; and theair outflow frame 121 forms a second air outflowframe air outlet 1213 at the end facing thefitting part 1121. A first air outflowframe air outlet 1212 is formed on theair outflow frame 121 between the air outflowframe air inlet 1211 and the second air outflowframe air outlet 1213. The first air outflow frame airoutlet body air 1212 is in communication with the body air outlet 1131 on thebase body 11. Preferably, the first air outflow frame airoutlet body air 1212 is formed on a side surface of theair outflow frame 121 with a structure in which an air outflow angle is greater than 180°, thereby increasing the air outflow range. In this embodiment, the first air outflow frame airoutlet body air 1212 comprises three outlet ports distributed on the side surface of theair outflow frame 121 at intervals, and an air supply angle of about 270° can be formed. Theair handling module 13 is also formed on theair outflow frame 121, in particular, theair handling module 13 is formed between the air outflowframe air inlet 1211 and the first air outflowframe air outlet 1212. Preferably, theair handling module 13 is formed on theair outflow frame 121 with a pullable structure to facilitate the after-sales service and the replacement of the air handling module of the same type by the user, and the air handling modules having different air handling functions can be mounted as required, so as to facilitate use of the air handling modules to meet the personalized needs of users. - In the cavity formed by the
base body 112, anelectrical cabinet 14 is formed below theair outflow assembly 12. A control panel of thebase 1 can be placed in theelectrical cabinet 14, and a control panel of theair conditioner body 2 fitted with thebase 1 can also be placed. Preferably, the control panels of thebase 1 and theair conditioner body 2 are both placed in theelectrical cabinet 14. Moreover, theelectrical cabinet 14 is remote from thebody air inlet 1141 on thebase body 11 and may form anair inlet chamber 15 between theelectrical cabinet 14, thebody air inlet 1141 and theair handling module 13 to ensure that the smooth air inlet and outlet of thebase 1. - On the
fitting part 1121, a fitting part air outlet (not marked in the figures), awire opening 11211 and a connectingpipe opening 11212 are formed. The fitting part air outlet is in communication with the second air outflowframe air outlet 1213 on theair outflow assembly 12. Moreover, after theair conditioner body 2 is fitted with thebase 1 via thefitting part 1121, a jointpart air outlet 4 is formed between theair conditioner body 2 and thefitting part 1121, and the jointpart air outlet 4 is in communication with the fitting part air outlet. Consequently, the air handled by theair handling module 13, in addition to being blown out from the first air outflowframe air outlet 1212 and thebody air outlet 1151, is blown out from the second air outflowframe air outlet 1213, the fitting part air outlet and the jointpart air outlet 4, that is, from the top of thebase 1 and the bottom of theair conditioner body 2, to achieve multi-angle, multi-height all-round air supply, so that the air outflow range and ways of the vertical air conditioner are increased. Thewire opening 11211 provides a channel for the wires electrically connected to theelectrical cabinet 14, which allows the wires connecting live parts of theair conditioner body 2 and theelectrical cabinet 14 to extend out of thebase body 11 through thewire opening 11211 and into theair conditioner body 2. The connectingpipe opening 11212 provides a channel for a connecting pipe which connects theair conditioner body 2 and an outdoor unit of the air conditioner. - The vertical air conditioner formed by assembling the
base 1 using the aforementioned structure with theair conditioner body 2 has a reasonable structure, a wider air outflow range and more air outflow ways, can achieve modular production and fitting, and facilitates personalized selection. - Moreover, an
air outflow grille 5 is formed on the jointpart air outlet 4, to sort out the air outflow directions. Moreover, an airoutflow cover plate 6 is provided on the jointpart air outlet 4 on the outer side of theair outflow grille 5, for opening/closing the jointpart air outlet 4, so as to control whether air flows out from the jointpart air outlet 4. For example, the airoutflow cover plate 6 is formed at the jointpart air outlet 4 with a structure in which the air outflow cover plate is connected to thebase 1 or/and theair conditioner body 2 in a fastened manner, and the user can manually disassemble the airoutflow cover plate 6. If it is desirable that the air flows out from the jointpart air outlet 4, the airoutflow cover plate 6 is detached to open the jointpart air outlet 4, and after thefan 122 of thebase 1 is powered on and operates, the air handled by theair handling module 13 is blown out from the jointpart air outlet 4. If the airoutflow cover plate 6 is fitted to the jointpart air outlet 4, the air outflow of the air outlet is closed, and even if thefan 122 is powered on and operates, no air is blown out from the jointpart air outlet 4, so that the air outflow range and ways are highly controllable. As a preferred embodiment, theair outflow grille 5 and the airoutflow cover plate 6 are both ring-shaped, so that the annular air outflow can be realized, the air outflow angle is large and the air supply range is wide. - In order to facilitate fitting the
base 1 with theair conditioner body 2 and to increase the fitting strength of them, theair conditioner body 2 will be detachably fitted with thebase 1 via aconnector 3. Specifically, theconnector 3 is a round or square disk having a similar structure to thebase 1 and theair conditioner body 2, and during fitting, theconnector 3 is first fixed to thefitting part 1121 of thebase 1 via aconnector fixing plate 33, and then theair conditioner body 2 is fixed to theconnector 3. The jointpart air outlet 4 will be formed between thefitting part 1121 and theconnector 3 when theair conditioner body 2 is fixed to thebase 1 via theconnector 3. Furthermore, awire opening 31 corresponding to thewire opening 11211 on thefitting part 1121 and a connecting pipe opening 32 corresponding to the connectingpipe opening 11212 on thefitting part 1121 are provided on the bottom surface of theconnector 3. In addition, a sealing structure is provided at thewire opening 31 and the connectingpipe opening 32 to prevent the air at the jointpart air outlet 4 from leaking from theconnector 3. - The above embodiment is merely used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than limiting thereto; although the present invention is explained in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiment, a person skilled in the art still could modify the technical solution disclosed in the aforementioned embodiment or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein; and such modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions depart from the spirit and scope of the claimed technical solution of the present invention.
