Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of household appliances, and in particular to an air outlet panel assembly and a vertical air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, vertical air conditioners generally supply air through the air guide grilles on the air outlet panel of the air conditioner, so as to achieve a larger air outlet area and a larger air supply range through the air guide grilles. However, since the air guide grilles have a long air supply distance and a large air volume, when the air conditioning equipment is cooling for a long time, it will affect the user's physical sensation and increase the probability of suffering from "air conditioning disease".

[0003] Based on the above problems of using air guide grilles to deliver air, in the related technologies, air guide grilles and air outlet micropores are respectively set on the air outlet panel to achieve the functions of both grille and micropore air outlet. The micropores can disperse the concentrated airflow into many fine filaments, decompose the strong wind into soft wind without feeling, and avoid direct blowing on the human body. Users can freely choose the air outlet mode according to their needs, thereby improving the user's comfort. However, the above technology has at least the following defects:

[0004] (1) Air outlet micro-holes are set in the original shielding panel area, so that the shielding panel part is eliminated. When the air conditioner is not working, the air outlet is exposed to the outside world, making it easy for dust to enter the air conditioner;

[0005] (2) The microporous plate provided with air outlet micropores adopts a convex bulge connection structure, which has a complex connection structure and a high preparation cost. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to solve at least one of the above technical problems, an object of the present invention is to provide an air guide panel assembly.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a vertical air conditioner.

[0008] In order to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention proposes an air outlet panel assembly, which is suitable for an air conditioner and is arranged corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The air outlet panel assembly includes multiple panels, and the multiple panels include at least two of an air guide panel, a breeze panel and a shielding panel, wherein at least two of the air guide panel, the breeze panel and the shielding panel are circumferentially connected to form a semi-cylindrical air outlet panel.

[0009] In addition, the air outlet panel assembly in the above embodiment provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:

[0010] In the above technical solution, preferably, a plurality of air guide grilles are provided on the air guide panel to guide the air through the air guide grilles; a plurality of micro holes are provided on the breeze panel to disperse the wind through the plurality of micro holes; and the shielding panel is used to shield the air outlet when the vertical air conditioner stops running.

[0011] In this technical solution, an air outlet panel is formed by combining an air guide panel, a breeze panel and a shielding panel. When the air guide panel corresponds to the air outlet, the air guide function is realized by the air guide grille arranged on the air guide panel. When the breeze panel corresponds to the air outlet, air is discharged through a plurality of microholes arranged on the breeze panel. Compared with the air guide grille, the human body's sense of the air volume is reduced, thereby improving the user's sensed comfort. When the shielding panel corresponds to the air outlet, the shielding panel is set. The correspondence between the shielding panel and the air outlet indicates that the air conditioner is in a closed state, thereby preventing external dust from entering the inside of the air conditioner when the air conditioner is not running.

[0012] In any of the above technical solutions, when the multiple panels include wind guide panels, breeze panels and shielding panels, preferably, the wind guide panels, breeze panels and shielding panels are all constructed as arc panels and are smoothly connected in sequence along the circumferential direction.

They can be connected in a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction. With this setting, after the air conditioner is turned on, the air outlet panel can be rotated to rotate the breeze panel to the position of the shielding panel, and then the air guide panel can be further rotated to the position of the shielding panel, so that the air outlet can be made to correspond to the breeze panel first, so as to quickly enter the windless operation mode.

[0014] In addition, the setting positions of the air guide panel and the breeze panel can also be exchanged, that is, the air guide panel, breeze panel and shielding panel can be arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction. With this setting method, after the air conditioner is turned on, the air guide mode can be used first to achieve rapid cooling or heating. After running in the air guide mode for a period of time, the windless mode can be entered, and air can be discharged through multiple micropores to enhance the user's comfort.

[0015] Among them, the wind guide panel, the shielding panel and the breeze panel can be separate arc-shaped panels respectively, which are fixedly assembled to form an air outlet panel assembly.

After turning on the power, the air outlet panel module can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise according to the user's choice to enter the wind guide mode or the breeze panel mode.

It should be noted that the embodiments of the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0081] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0084] In this embodiment, by arranging the multiple panels in the air outlet panel assembly into different combinations, the construction of air outlet panels with different functions is achieved, thereby meeting the needs of different users.

[0085] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the air outlet panel assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention is suitable for an air conditioner and is arranged corresponding to the air outlet of the air conditioner. The multiple panels include: an air guide panel 102, on which a plurality of air guide grilles 1022 are provided. When the air guide panel 102 is arranged opposite to the air outlet, the air is guided through the air guide grilles 1022; a breeze panel 104, on which a plurality of micropores 1044B are provided. When the breeze panel 104 is arranged opposite to the air outlet, the air is dispersed through the plurality of micropores 1044B; and a shielding panel 106. When the shielding panel 106 is arranged opposite to the air outlet, the air outlet is shielded by the shielding panel 106. The air guide panel 102, the breeze panel 104 and the shielding panel 106 are connected along the circumferential direction to form a semi-cylindrical air outlet panel.

[0086] In this embodiment, an air outlet panel is formed by combining an air guide panel 102, a breeze panel 104 and a shielding panel 106. When the air guide panel 102 corresponds to the air outlet, the air guide function is realized by an air guide grille 1022 arranged on the air guide panel 102. When the breeze panel 104 corresponds to the air outlet, air is discharged through a plurality of microholes 1044B arranged on the breeze panel 104.
