BACKGROUND
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of air conditioning technologies, and
particularly to a vertical air-conditioner air supply apparatus provided with an airflow
distribution assembly.
Related Art
[0002] When a conventional vertical air-conditioner supplies air, air is subjected to heat
exchange by a heat exchanger and is directly blown out from an air outlet provided
on the air-conditioner under the action of an internal fan, and all of the blown-out
air is heat-exchanged air. Generally, no additional air supply apparatus is disposed
between the heat exchanger and the air outlet. One disadvantage of such an air supply
method of the air-conditioner is that indoor air circulation is slow because the supplied
air is all heat-exchanged air, an air volume is small, and the air flow rate is low;
another disadvantage is that the supplied air is not mild enough, and especially in
the cooling mode, the blown-out cool air directly blows on a user, making the user
feel uncomfortable.
[0003] To solve the foregoing problems, the applicant proposed an air-conditioner air supply
apparatus that can be applied to an air-conditioner. The air-conditioner air supply
apparatus includes an annular cover body, where a through-duct running through the
annular cover body is formed in the middle of the annular cover body, and an annular
opening is formed on a wall of the annular cover body; several annular deflectors
are disposed on the annular opening; and an annular air outlet duct is formed between
adjacent annular deflectors. The installation of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus
between a heat exchanger of an air-conditioner and an air outlet of a housing of the
air-conditioner can not only increase the air intake volume, and accelerate indoor
air circulation, but also enable the air-conditioner to supply milder air, thereby
making the user feel more comfortable and improving the user experience. However,
because the annular deflectors and the annular air outlet duct are both formed on
an annular cover body, it is not convenient to flexibly select and control the structure
of the annular deflector and the air outlet duct. Therefore, the scope of application
is narrow. Moreover, because the fan of the air-conditioner supplies air from bottom
to top, the heat-exchanged air is not uniformly distributed in the circumferential
direction when entering the annular air outlet duct, and the air volume is large at
the lower end of the annular air outlet duct but small at the left and right sides
of the annular air outlet duct, so that the air supplied by the air-conditioner air
supply apparatus is not uniformly distributed in the entire circumferential direction,
thereby affecting the comfort of the user.
SUMMARY
[0004] An objective of the present invention is to provide a vertical air-conditioner air
supply apparatus provided with an airflow distribution assembly. The airflow distribution
assembly constituted by airflow distribution plates is used to distribute air in a
circumferential direction of the air supply apparatus, so as to improve the uniformity
of air supply.
[0005] To achieve the foregoing objective of the present invention, the present invention
is implemented by means of the following technical solutions:
A vertical air-conditioner air supply apparatus provided with an airflow distribution
assembly is provided, where the air supply apparatus includes at least two annular
air guiding bodies that are hollow and have front and rear openings; each of the annular
air guiding bodies is a single component; multiple annual air guiding bodies are sequentially
arranged from front to rear, and a through-duct which runs from front to end is formed
in the middle; an annular heat-exchanged air duct is formed between two adjacent annular
air guiding bodies; an air inlet of a rear-end annular air guiding body located at
the rear end is a non-heat-exchanged air inlet; an air outlet of a front-end annular
air guiding body located at the front end is a mixed air outlet; and an airflow distribution
assembly for distributing heat-exchanged air that enters the heat-exchanged air duct
from a heat exchanger of an air-conditioner that has the air-conditioner air supply
apparatus is disposed in at least one annular heat-exchanged air ducts, where the
airflow distribution assembly at least includes a pair of primary airflow distribution
plates dividing the heat-exchanged air into left, middle and right parts, and the
pair of the airflow distribution plates are bilaterally symmetrically disposed at
a lower part of the annular heat-exchanged air duct along an air supply direction
of the heat-exchanged air, and divides the annular heat-exchanged air duct into two
parts having circumferential lengths whose lengths are at a ratio of 1:2 to 1:4.
[0006] According to the vertical air-conditioner air supply apparatus described above, the
airflow distribution assembly further includes several pairs of auxiliary airflow
distribution plates, and the several pairs of auxiliary airflow distribution plates
are bilaterally symmetrically disposed sequentially above the primary airflow distribution
plate, along the air supply direction of the heat-exchanged air, at a gradually decreasing
spacing from bottom to top. According to the vertical air-conditioner air supply apparatus
described above, the areas of the several pairs of auxiliary airflow distribution
plates gradually decrease from bottom to top, and the area of the auxiliary airflow
distribution plate at the lowest position is smaller than the area of the primary
airflow distribution plate.
[0007] According to the vertical air-conditioner air supply apparatus described above, among
the several pairs of auxiliary airflow distribution plates, the circumferential length
of the annular heat-exchanged air duct between the pair of airflow distribution plates
that is located at the top accounts for 1/5 to 1/3 of the total circumferential length
of the annular heat-exchanged air duct.
[0008] Preferably, there are three pairs of auxiliary airflow distribution plates.
[0009] According to the vertical air-conditioner air supply apparatus described above, the
primary airflow distribution plates and the auxiliary airflow distribution plates
are bent distribution plates of the same bending direction, the bending direction
of the multiple airflow distribution plates is reverse to the air supply direction
of the heat-exchanged air, and surfaces of each of the primary airflow distribution
plates and each of the auxiliary airflow distribution plates are all curved surfaces.
[0010] Preferably, surfaces of each of the primary airflow distribution plates and each
of the auxiliary airflow distribution plates are all arc-shaped curved surfaces.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and
positive effects:
- 1. After an air-conditioner air supply apparatus of the present invention is applied
in an air-conditioner, heat-exchanged air in an internal air duct of the air-conditioner
can be blown out from the front end through a through-duct, and part of external air
that is not subjected to heat exchange can be sucked under negative pressure and become
part of the air finally supplied from the air-conditioner, which increases the overall
air intake volume of the air-conditioner, accelerates indoor air circulation, and
further improves the overall uniformity of indoor air. Moreover, the mixed air is
mild, which makes the user feel more comfortable, thereby improving the comfort of
the user.
- 2. Through adopting a plurality of annular air guiding bodies in the form of a single
component to constitute the air-conditioner air supply apparatus, it can not only
facilitate flexibly controlling the structure of each annular air guiding body according
to air supply requirements and easily producing each annular air guiding body having
a different structure, but also achieve flexible selection of an assembling manner
of the whole air-conditioner air supply apparatus in the air-conditioner, thereby
improving the applicable scope of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus and production
efficiency of an air-conditioner.
- 3. According to the feature of air supply of the air-conditioner, an airflow distribution
assembly at least including one pair of airflow distribution plates is disposed in
a heat-exchanged air duct, and an annular heat-exchanged air duct is divided into
two parts whose circumferential lengths are at a ratio of 1:2 to 1:4, so that the
airflow distribution plates can be used to relatively uniformly distribute, in a circumferential
direction, heat-exchanged air entering the air supply apparatus, so as to improve
the uniformity of the air supply apparatus.
[0012] Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent after
reading the detailed description of the present invention with reference to the accompanying

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0014] The technical solutions of the present invention are further described in detail
below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description. First,
technical terms involved in the detailed description are briefly described. The front
end or rear end of each structural component as mentioned below is defined in terms
of the position of the structural component in the normal use state relative to the
user; front or rear, when used to describe the positions at which multiple structural
components are arranged, is also defined in terms of the position of an apparatus
formed by the multiple structural components in the normal use state relative to the
user. In the following description, heat-exchanged air refers to air that is from
the inside of an air-conditioner and has been subjected to heat exchange by a heat
exchanger; non-heat-exchanged air refers to air from the environmental space in which
the air-conditioner is located, is relative to the heat-exchanged air, and is part
of air that is not directly from the heat exchanger; and mixed air refers to air formed
by mixing the heat-exchanged air with the non-heat-exchanged air. In the following
description, the shape being annular refers an enclosed structure that is formed by
encircling, but is not limited to a circular ring.
[0015] Then, the design concept of the present invention is briefly described. With an air-conditioner
air supply apparatus that can produce and supply mixed air by mixing heat-exchanged
air of a heat exchanger of an air-conditioner with external non-heat-exchanged air,
the amount of air supplied can be increased and the temperature of air supplied can
be ensured. However, because the fan inside the air-conditioner is located at the
lower end, the heat-exchanged air is supplied from bottom to top after being subjected
to heat exchange by the heat exchanger; in this case, once such an air-conditioner
air supply apparatus is arranged in the air-conditioner, most of the heat-exchanged
air enters the air-conditioner air supply apparatus from the bottom of the air-conditioner
air supply apparatus under the action of the fan, and only a small air volume enters
the air-conditioner air supply apparatus from left and right sides and the top of
the air-conditioner air supply apparatus, resulting in a non-uniform air supply in
the circumferential direction of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus. To solve
this problem, in an annular heat-exchanged air duct of an air-conditioner air supply
apparatus, an airflow distribution assembly for distributing, particularly uniformly
distributing heat-exchanged air that enters the heat-exchanged air duct from the heat
exchanger of the air-conditioner may be disposed. The shape, area, and disposing position
in the heat-exchanged air duct, of each airflow distribution plate are properly designed,
so that the heat-exchanged air uniformly enters the heat-exchanged air duct in the
circumferential direction, thereby improving the uniformity of the air supply of the
air-conditioner air supply apparatus.
[0016] Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of an embodiment of a
vertical air-conditioner having an air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 of the present
invention.
[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the air-conditioner of this embodiment includes a front panel
2, a rear panel 3, a left panel, a right panel, a top plate and a bottom plate (not
marked in the figure) that constitute a housing of the air-conditioner. The housing
defines an internal air duct 4 of the air-conditioner. A mixed air outlet 21 is formed
on an upper part of the front panel 2 of the air-conditioner, and a non-heat-exchanged
air inlet 31 is formed on an upper part of the rear panel 3 of the air-conditioner
and at a position corresponding to the mixed air outlet 21 on the front panel 2. A
blower 6, a heat exchanger 5 and an air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 are disposed
from bottom to top in the internal air duct 4, and the blower 6 is disposed in such
a manner that air from the internal air duct 4 of the air-conditioner is blown out
from the mixed air outlet 21 on the front panel 2.
[0018] For a structure of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1, reference is made
to a schematic structural three-dimensional assembly view of FIG. 2, an exploded schematic
structural view of FIG. 3, and a schematic structural rear view of FIG. 4.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4 together with FIG. 1, the air-conditioner
air supply apparatus 1 includes three annular air guiding bodies, which separately
are a front-end annular air guiding body 11, a first middle annular air guiding body
13, and a rear-end annular air guiding body 12. Each of the three annular air guiding
bodies that are sequentially arranged from front to rear is a single component and
formed independently. The front-end annular air guiding body 11 is hollow and has
two openings: a front opening and a rear opening, which respectively are a mixed air
outlet 111, and an air inlet 112; the first middle annular air guiding body 13 is
hollow and has two openings: a front opening and a rear opening, which respectively
are an air outlet 131 and an air inlet 132; and the rear-end annular air guiding body
12 is hollow and has two openings: a front opening and a rear opening, which respectively
are an air outlet 121 and a non-heat-exchanged air inlet 122. After the front-end
annular air guiding body 11, the first middle annular air guiding body 13 and the
rear-end annular air guiding body 12 are arranged sequentially from front to rear,
a through-duct that runs through all the three annular air guiding bodies from front
to rear is formed in the middle (not marked in the figure). Moreover, a first annular
heat-exchanged air duct 14 is formed between the front-end annular air guiding body
11 and the first middle annular air guiding body 13, and a second annular heat-exchanged
air duct 15 is formed between the first middle annular air guiding body 13 and the
rear-end annular air guiding body 12. The internal air duct 4 of the air-conditioner
is connected to the through-duct in the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 through
the first annular heat-exchanged air duct 14 and the second annular heat-exchanged
air duct 15. An airflow distribution assembly 16 extending into the first annular
heat-exchanged air duct 14 and the second annular heat-exchanged air duct 15 is disposed
on the first middle annular air guiding body 13. Moreover, for ease of processing,
the airflow distribution assembly 16 and the first middle annular air guiding body
13 are preferably integrally formed. Certainly, the airflow distribution assembly
16 and the first middle annular air guiding body 13 may also be formed separately,
and then the airflow distribution assembly 16 is installed and fixed on the first
middle annular air guiding body 13.
[0020] When the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 is assembled in the air-conditioner,
the rear-end annular air guiding body 12 is fastened with the rear panel 3 of the
air-conditioner. The first middle annular air guiding body 13 is first fastened with
the front-end annular air guiding body 11 by using a screw, and then the front-end
annular air guiding body 11 fastened with the first middle annular air guiding body
13 is fixed on the front panel 2 of the air-conditioner. After being fixed in place,
the mixed air outlet 111 of the front-end annular air guiding body 11 acts as an air
outlet of the whole air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1, and is enclosed and assembled
with the mixed air outlet 21 on the front panel 2; and the non-heat-exchanged air
inlet 122 in the rear-end annular air guiding body 12 acts as a non-heat-exchanged
air inlet of the whole air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1, and is enclosed and
assembled with the non-heat-exchanged air inlet 31 on the rear panel 3.
[0021] After the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 of the above structure is used in
an air-conditioner, when the air-conditioner is running, indoor air enters the air-conditioner,
is accelerated, under the action of the blower 6, to be blown to a heat exchanger
5 for a heat exchange. The heat-exchanged air after the heat exchange is blown from
the internal air duct 4 to the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1. The heat-exchanged
air is distributed by the airflow distribution assembly, to uniformly enter the through-duct
along the circumferential direction, and through the first annular heat-exchanged
air duct 14 and the second annular heat-exchanged air duct 15, and then the heat-exchanged
air is blown out from the mixed air outlet 111 on the front-end annular air guiding
body 11 and the mixed air outlet 21 on the front panel through the through-duct. Meanwhile,
a negative pressure is formed in the through-duct. Indoor air, which is used as the
non-heat-exchanged air, outside the air-conditioner, enters, under the action of the
negative pressure, the through-duct from the non-heat-exchanged air inlet 31 on the
rear panel 3 and the non-heat-exchanged air inlet 122 of the rear-end annular air
guiding body 12, and is mixed with the heat-exchanged air blown out from the annular
heat-exchanged air duct to form mixed air, guided by a mixed air guiding portion 113
that is extended outward, and smoothly sent indoors together with the heat-exchanged
air.
[0022] Under a certain rotation speed of the blower, air volume measurement and temperature
detection are performed on the vertical air-conditioner. After the foregoing air-conditioner
air supply apparatus 1 is used, an air volume of the introduced non-heat-exchanged
air is about 0.89 times the volume of the heat-exchanged air, and a volume of the
obtained mixed air is about 1.89 times the volume of the heat-exchanged air. Under
a same condition, the air supply of the conditioner is about 0.89 times greater than
air supply without using the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1. Moreover, if
a room temperature is about 27.5°C, air blown out from an air-conditioner without
using the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 is heat-exchanged air, and the temperature
of the heat-exchanged air is about 13°C; however, after the air-conditioner air supply
apparatus 1 is used, mixed air supplied by an air-conditioner is at about 18.5°C,
and a temperature of the mixed air more satisfies a requirement of comfort of people.
The mixed air is mild, which makes a user feel more comfortable, thereby improving
the comfort of the user. Moreover, a part of external air that is not subjected to
heat exchange is sucked under the negative pressure generated by the air supply apparatus
1 and becomes a part of the air finally supplied from the air-conditioner, which increases
the overall air intake volume of the air-conditioner, accelerates indoor air circulation,
and further improves the overall uniformity of indoor air.
[0023] In this embodiment, the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 is constituted by
a combination of multiple annular air guiding bodies in the form of a single component,
so that it is easier to flexibly control a structure of each annular air guiding body
according to an air supply requirement, and produce each annular air guiding body
having a different structure, thereby ensuring the uniformity and a speed of air supply.
In addition, because each annular air guiding body is a single component, a manner
in which the whole air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 is assembled in the air-conditioner
can be flexibly selected, thereby improving applicable scope of the air-conditioner
air supply apparatus 1 and production efficiency of the air-conditioner.
[0024] Referring to the schematic structural rear view of FIG. 4 again, the airflow distribution
assembly 16 of this embodiment is implemented by using multiple airflow distribution
plates. The airflow distribution assembly 16 of this embodiment totally includes four
pairs (eight) of airflow distribution plates, which separately are primary airflow
distribution plates 161 and 162, first auxiliary airflow distribution plates 163 and
164, second auxiliary airflow distribution plates 165 and 166, and third auxiliary
airflow distribution plates 167 and 168. All the airflow distribution plates are bent
distribution plates of a same bending direction, and a surface of each airflow distribution
plate is an arc-shaped curved surface, which can effectively guide a direction of
air, and reduce pressure loss and noise of airflow during a process of airflow distribution,
thereby implementing high-speed air supply in low noise. The four pairs of the airflow
distribution plates are bilaterally symmetrically arranged in a circumferential direction
of the first annular heat-exchanged air duct 14 and the second annular heat-exchanged
air duct 15 in a sequence that the primary airflow distribution plates 161 and 162
are at bottom, and the first auxiliary airflow distribution plates 163 and 164, the
second auxiliary airflow distribution plates 165 and 166, and the auxiliary airflow
distribution plate 167 and 168 are sequentially disposed upwards. That is, in a bottom-up
air supply direction of heat-exchanged air, the primary airflow distribution plate
161, the first auxiliary airflow distribution plate 163, the second auxiliary airflow
distribution plate 165, and the third auxiliary airflow distribution plate 167 are
disposed from bottom up on the left side (in terms of the left and right sides in
a rear view direction) of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1; and the primary
airflow distribution plate 162, the first auxiliary airflow distribution plate 164,
the second auxiliary airflow distribution plate 166 and the third auxiliary airflow
distribution plate 168 are disposed in a bilaterally symmetrical form on the right
side of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1. Moreover, the bending direction
of the airflow distribution plates is reverse to the air supply direction of the heat-exchanged
air. That is, the air supply direction of the heat-exchanged air is from bottom up,
and the bending direction of the airflow distribution plates is reverse to the air
supply direction, that is, the airflow distribution plates are bent at a counterclockwise
direction shown in FIG. 4.
[0025] The airflow distribution assembly 16 constituted by multiple bent airflow distribution
plates radially symmetrically arranged is disposed in the heat-exchanged air duct,
so that the primary airflow distribution plates 161 and 162 can be used to divide
the heat-exchanged air from the heat exchanger into left, middle and right parts,
and the heat-exchanged air on the left and right sides may further be divided by the
auxiliary airflow distribution plates, uniform air intake and outtake in the circumferential
direction of the heat-exchanged air duct of the air-conditioner air supply apparatus
1 are finally implemented.
[0026] Certainly, in addition to being implemented by using multiple bent airflow distribution
plates, another structure may also be used by the airflow distribution assembly 16,
as long as it can be ensured that the heat-exchanged air from the heat exchanger 5
is uniformly distributed in the circumferential direction.
[0027] The shape, area and disposing position of each of the airflow distribution plates
in the heat-exchanged air duct are key factors affecting the uniformity of air supply.
In this embodiment, the paired airflow distribution plates are of the same shape and
area. However, for the multiple airflow distribution plates on one side, from bottom
to top, the area of the primary airflow distribution plate 161 or 162 is greater than
that of the first auxiliary airflow distribution plate 163 or 164, the area of the
first auxiliary airflow distribution plate 163 or 164 is greater than that of the
second auxiliary airflow distribution plate 165 or 166, and the area of the fourth
auxiliary airflow distribution plate 165 or 166 is greater than that of the third
auxiliary airflow distribution plate 167 or 168.
[0028] Moreover, because the density of air flow is not identical in the circumferential
direction, the airflow distribution plates on the same side are distributed at unequal
spacings. Specifically, a length of an arc L2 between the primary airflow distribution
plate 161 or 162 and the first auxiliary airflow distribution plate 163 or 164 (indicating
the spacing between the two) is greater than a length of an arc L3 between the first
auxiliary airflow distribution plate 163 or 164 and the second auxiliary airflow distribution
plate 165 or 166, and a length of the arc L3 between the first auxiliary airflow distribution
plate 163 or 164 and the second auxiliary airflow distribution plate 165 or 166 is
greater than a length of an arc L4 between the second auxiliary airflow distribution
plate 165 or 166 and the third auxiliary airflow distribution plate 187 or 188. Preferably,
the ratio of the lengths of the arc L2, the arc L3 and the arc L4 is 6:5:3.
[0029] In addition, the primary airflow distribution plates 161 and 162 disposed at the
bottom of the first annular heat-exchanged air duct 14 and the second annular heat-exchanged
air duct 15 divide the two annular heat-exchanged air ducts into an upper part and
a lower part, where the lower part corresponds to the arc L1, and all other arcs are
the upper part. To ensure the uniformity of air supply in the circumferential direction,
the ratio of the length of the arc L1 corresponding to the lower part to the length
of the arcs of the upper part (not marked in the figure, which are arcs in the entire
circumferential direction other than L1) is 1:2 to 1:4. The third auxiliary airflow
distribution plates 167 and 168 located at the top of the two annular heat-exchanged
air ducts define an arc L5 at the top, and a length of the arc L5 accounts for 1/5
to 1/3 of the total circumferential length of the first annular heat-exchanged air
duct 14 or the second annular heat-exchanged air duct 15.
[0030] In the air-conditioner in this embodiment, as a preferred implementation manner,
the mixed air outlet 21 on the front panel 2 and the non-heat-exchanged air inlet
31 on the rear panel 3 have a circular shape, and correspondingly, each annular air
guiding body in the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 has an annular shape. However,
shapes are not limited thereto, and the technical objectives of the present invention
can also be achieved by using other combinations of shapes, for example, an ellipse
and an elliptical ring, a regular polygon and a regular polygonal ring, and the like.
[0031] It should be noted that one pair of primary airflow distribution plates and three
pairs of auxiliary airflow distribution plates are disposed in this embodiment, but
the present invention is not limited thereto. It is also feasible to implement relatively
uniform distribution of circumferential air supply by only disposing one pair of primary
airflow distribution plates; or one pair, two pairs or pairs higher than three pairs
of auxiliary airflow distribution plates may also be disposed as needed. None of these
technical solutions depart from the design concept of the present invention, and they
all fall in the protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] Moreover, although the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 in this embodiment
has three annular air guiding bodies, the present invention is not limited to such
three annular air guiding bodies, and the air-conditioner air supply apparatus 1 may
also only have two annular air guiding bodies: the front annular air guiding body
11 and a rear annular air guiding body 12, where the two annular air guiding bodies
form a heat-exchanged air duct. Under this structure, an airflow distribution assembly
that is constituted by airflow distribution plates and is fastened with one of the
annular air guiding bodies may be disposed in the heat-exchanged air duct to implement
the distribution of the heat-exchanged air.
[0033] Certainly, there may also be more annular air guiding bodies. For example, in addition
to the front annular air guiding body 11 and the rear annular air guiding body 12,
two or more first middle annular air guiding bodies 13 may also be included, to constitute
an air-conditioner air supply apparatus having four or more annular air guiding bodies.
Under this structure, three or more heat-exchanged air ducts are generated. In such
an air-conditioner air supply apparatus, preferably, the airflow distribution assembly
constituted by the airflow distribution plates is disposed in each of the heat-exchanged
air ducts. Moreover, to simplify the structure, one airflow distribution assembly
may be shared by two heat-exchanged air ducts, that is, the airflow distribution assembly
is disposed on the middle annular air guiding body, and extends into other two annular
heat-exchanged air ducts formed by the annular air guiding body.
[0034] The foregoing embodiment is merely used to describe rather than limit the technical
solutions of the present invention. Although the present invention is described in
detail with reference to the foregoing embodiment, a person of ordinary skill in the
art can still make modifications to the technical solutions described in the foregoing
embodiment, or make equivalent replacements to some technical features thereof. Such
modifications or replacements should not make the essence of corresponding technical
solutions depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present
