Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed are a vapour-liquid filter mesh, a heat exchanger and an air conditioner. The vapour-liquid filter mesh includes a first area located in the middle and a second area located at the periphery of the first area, and the thickness of the second area is greater than the thickness of the first area.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A vapour-liquid filter mesh, comprising a first area located in a middle and a second area located at a periphery of the first area, a thickness of the second area being greater than a thickness of the first area, wherein the first area is protruded from the second area, a connection hole is formed in a middle of the second area; and a periphery of the first area is fixedly connected with a periphery of the connection hole. 2. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an area A of the first area and an area B of the second area meet ½B≤A<B. 3. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first area and the second area comprises a plurality of layers of filter meshes; and a number of layers of filter meshes in the second area is greater than a number of layers of filter meshes in the first area. 4. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the number of the layers of filter meshes in the first area is greater than or equal to ⅓ of the number of the layers of filter meshes in the second area. 5. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the vapour-liquid filter mesh comprises a border and a reinforcing rib disposed in the border, and the plurality of layers of filter meshes in each of the first area and the second area are filled in frames formed by the border and the reinforcing rib. 6. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first area and the second area is a flat-plate filter mesh; the first area is located in the second area, and the second area is flush with a bottom surface of the first area. 7. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the first area and the second area is provided with a flat-plate filter mesh, the first area is protruded from the second area, and an outer periphery of the first area and the periphery of the connection hole of the second area are fixedly spliced together. 8. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first area is provided with an arc protruded filter mesh, the second area is provided with a flat-plate filter mesh, and an outer periphery of the arc protruded filter mesh is fixedly connected at a periphery of the connection hole of the flat-plate filter mesh. 9. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first area is provided with a conical protruded filter mesh having a progressively decreased cross section along a direction far away from the second area, the second area is provided with a flat-plate filter mesh, and an outer periphery of the conical protruded filter mesh is fixedly connected at a periphery of a connection hole of the flat-plate filter mesh. 10. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the conical protruded filter mesh comprises a plurality of lateral plates, the plurality of lateral plates are welded together. 11. A heat exchanger, comprising a housing and vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , and the vapour-liquid filter mesh is disposed in the housing. 12. A heat exchanger, comprising a housing, a liquid baffle plate and vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 1 , the vapour-liquid filter mesh is disposed in the housing, and a first area of the vapour-liquid filter mesh is protruded toward the liquid baffle plate. 13. An air conditioner, comprising a heat exchanger, wherein the heat exchanger is the heat exchanger as claimed in claim 11 . 14. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each of the first area and the second area is a flat-plate filter mesh; the first area is located in the second area, and the second area is flush with a bottom surface of the first area. 15. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each of the first area and the second area is a flat-plate filter mesh; the first area is located in the second area, and the second area is flush with a bottom surface of the first area. 16. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 4 , wherein each of the first area and the second area is a flat-plate filter mesh; the first area is located in the second area, and the second area is flush with a bottom surface of the first area. 17. The vapour-liquid filter mesh as claimed in claim 5 , wherein each of the first area and the second area is a flat-plate filter mesh; the first area is located in the second area, and the second area is flush with a bottom surface of the first area.
