The product forms a modular assembly structure mainly including three types of components: the air outlet frame, the air outlet frame bracket and the driving module. The integration between the components is high, the product modular integration effect is good, and it is more conducive to the assembly line assembly of the product. The matching accuracy between the air outlet frame and the driving module is also easier to take into account, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reliability of the product.
[0007] In addition, the air outlet assembly in the above embodiment provided by the present invention may also have the following additional technical features:
[0008] In the above technical solution, an installation groove is formed on the air outlet frame bracket, and the installation groove has a first wall surface and a second wall surface that are opposite to each other. The driving module has two connecting covers, and the two connecting covers are respectively connected to the air outlet frame bracket, and one of the two connecting covers is located on the first wall surface, and the other is located on the second wall surface, and the driving system is at least partially located between the two connecting covers.
[0009] In this solution, a mounting groove is provided on the air outlet frame bracket, and the drive module is embedded in the mounting groove for assembly, which has a good positioning effect and is also more conducive to maintaining stability of the drive module on the air outlet frame bracket.

In this way, the air outlet frame can be driven in combination in different directions and / or different types of motion (such as radial motion, circumferential motion), so that the air outlet frame forms a three-dimensional motion effect, thereby allowing the motion control of the air outlet frame to derive more possibilities. For example, according to needs, the air outlet frame can be selectively controlled to perform circumferential motion or radial motion or perform a three-dimensional composite motion including circumferential and radial directions, etc., further enriching the product's air outlet mode and operation mode.

[0038] A guide groove is formed between the first cover body and the second cover body. The movement accuracy of the first movable member can be further improved by guiding the movement of the first movable member through the guide groove, thereby correspondingly improving the movement accuracy of the air outlet frame.

In this way, while ensuring the driving efficiency and driving reliability of the second driving device on the shell and the air outlet frame, the assembly precision requirement between the shell and the second driving device is reduced, which is more conducive to the production line assembly of the product and also makes the integration of product components higher.

This structure has a higher driving efficiency for the shell, thereby more efficiently driving the air outlet frame. In addition, this structure can more accurately adjust the movement accuracy of the shell and the air outlet frame, further improving the reliability of the product.
[0049] The second rack is provided with a mating body (mating groove) which cooperates with the mating groove (mating body) on the shell.

In this way, the air outlet frame can be made to move radially through the linear movement of the air outlet frame. For example, the air outlet frame can be made to move radially to form a matching action of approaching or separating with the display panel. For example, when the air outlet frame needs to move circumferentially, the air outlet frame can be made to move radially and separate from the display panel first. In this way, the friction between the air outlet frame and the display panel is small during the circumferential movement of the air outlet frame, and the matching resistance is small. When the circumferential movement of the air outlet frame is completed, the air outlet frame can be made to move radially and abut against the display panel to eliminate the matching step difference and improve the appearance of the product.

[0055] In this solution, the covering portion and the connecting cover enclose a receiving groove and accommodate the gear of the second driving device, which can form a good protective effect, such as preventing insects and dust, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the gear and improving the control fluency of the product.
[0056] In any of the above technical solutions, the air outlet frame is provided with a shielding portion, and the shielding portion is located at the front side of the driving module; and / or the air outlet frame is arc-shaped.
[0057] In this solution, the shielding portion of the air outlet frame is arranged on the front side of the driving module, which can bring a better appearance experience and better protect the driving module.
[0058] The air outlet frame is set to be arc-shaped, so that the movement of the air outlet frame can provide more abundant air outlet and operation modes. For example, by using the arc-shaped air outlet frame, it is easy to control the air outlet frame to form a circumferential movement suitable for the curvature of the air outlet frame, and the circumferential rotation of the air outlet frame can bring a larger air outlet angle and range. In addition, the arc-shaped air outlet frame can form radial movement, so that the air outlet frame and the display panel and other components can be matched or separated, so as to better take into account the effect of reducing the movement drag of the air outlet frame and eliminating the appearance step difference.

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.
[0079] 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.
[0080] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 12 The air outlet assembly and the air conditioner according to some embodiments of the present invention are described.
[0081] like Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet assembly 1000 provided by the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: an air outlet frame bracket 100 , an air outlet frame 200 and a driving module 300 .
[0082] Specifically, the air outlet frame 200 is arranged on the air outlet frame bracket 100; the driving module 300 includes a connection cover (for details, please refer to the attached Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first connecting cover 311 and the second connecting cover 312 shown in the figure are understood) and the driving system Q, the connecting cover is connected to the air outlet frame bracket 100, the driving system Q is arranged on the connecting cover, and the driving system Q is suitable for driving the air outlet frame 200 so that the air outlet frame 200 moves relative to the air outlet frame bracket 100.
[0083] The air outlet assembly 1000 provided in the above embodiment of the present invention is provided with a driving device to drive the air outlet frame 200, so that the air outlet frame 200 can be driven by the driving device to move to provide a richer air outlet mode and product operation scene, further enriching the use function of the product. The product forms a modular assembly structure mainly including three types of components, namely, the air outlet frame 200, the air outlet frame bracket 100 and the driving module 300. The integration between the components is high, the product modular integration effect is good, and it is more conducive to the assembly line assembly of the product. The matching accuracy between the air outlet frame 200 and the driving module 300 is also easier to take into account, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reliability of the product.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, a mounting groove 110 is formed on the air outlet frame bracket 100. The drive module 300 is embedded in the mounting groove 110 for assembly, which has a good positioning effect and is more conducive to maintaining stability of the drive module 300 on the air outlet frame bracket 100.
[0085] Furthermore, the mounting groove 110 has a first wall 111 and a second wall 112 relative to each other, the driving module 300 has two connecting covers, the two connecting covers are respectively connected to the air outlet frame bracket 100, and one of the two connecting covers is located on the first wall 111, and the other is located on the second wall 112, and the driving system Q is at least partially located between the two connecting covers.
[0086] In more detail, the driving module 300 includes two connection covers and a driving system Q between the two connection covers. Figure 1 and Figure 2Understood as the first connection cover 311 and the second connection cover 312. The first connection cover 311 and the second connection cover 312 effectively limit the drive system Q from both sides, and the first wall surface 111 and the second wall surface 112 opposite to the installation slot 110 effectively limit the two connection covers from both sides. Such a structure ensures the assembly stability of the drive module 300 while being more conducive to the modular assembly flow of the product.

The flange 313 provided on the connection cover and fixed to the air outlet frame bracket 100 is more convenient for fastening and assembling the drive module 300 and the air outlet frame bracket 100, and such a structure has little effect on the drive system Q inside the connection cover when the connection cover and the air outlet frame bracket 100 are locked, so that the drive system Q is not easily damaged or displaced by assembly, and the yield rate of the product is further improved.
[0088] In certain specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet frame bracket 100 is provided with a limiting groove 120, and the flange 313 extends into the limiting groove 120. The flange 313 can be quickly positioned to achieve a good assembly foolproof effect.
[0089] In certain specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, one of the flange 313 and the air outlet frame bracket 100 is provided with a positioning protrusion 140, and the other is provided with a positioning hole 314, and the positioning protrusion 140 is embedded in the positioning hole 314. By using the insertion and positioning cooperation between the flange and the air outlet frame bracket 100 via the positioning protrusion 140 and the positioning hole 314, the flange 313 and the air outlet frame bracket 100 can be quickly pre-fixed and further positioned. In this way, during the process of fastening the flange 313 and the air outlet frame bracket 100, the flange 313 will not shift, and the fastening operation is more convenient.
[0090] In certain specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2As shown, one of the flange 313 and the air outlet frame bracket 100 is provided with a through hole 315, and the other is provided with a fastener matching hole 150 (specifically, for example, a threaded hole, a rivet hole, etc.), and the fastener (specifically, for example, a screw, a rivet, etc.) passes through the through hole 315 and is connected to the fastener matching hole 150 to lock the flange 313 and the air outlet frame bracket 100. The flange 313 and the air outlet frame bracket 100 are locked together by the fastener, which has a more reliable assembly strength, thereby better ensuring the driving accuracy and transmission efficiency of the driving module 300 to the air outlet frame 200.
[0091] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the air outlet assembly 1000 includes at least two driving modules 300, among which at least one driving module 300 is located at the upper part of the air outlet frame 200 and drives the upper part of the air outlet frame 200, and at least another driving module 300 is located at the lower part of the air outlet frame 200 and drives the lower part of the air outlet frame 200. In this way, the upper and lower parts of the air outlet frame 200 are driven separately, the movement of the air outlet frame 200 is more stable, and the air outlet frame 200 is not prone to problems such as stagnation, offset and jamming.
[0092] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the drive system Q includes: a first drive device 320 and a second drive device 330. Specifically, the first drive device 320 is connected to the air outlet frame 200 and drives the air outlet frame 200 to move; the second drive device 330 drives at least one of the air outlet frame 200 and the first drive device 320, so that the first drive device 320 and the air outlet frame 200 move.
[0093] Among them, the first driving device 320 is used to drive the air outlet frame 200 to move, and the second driving device 330 drives the overall movement formed by the first driving device 320 and the air outlet frame 200. In this way, the air outlet frame 200 can be compositely driven in different directions and / or different motion types (such as radial motion, circumferential motion), so that the air outlet frame 200 forms a three-dimensional motion effect, thereby making it possible to derive more possibilities for the motion control of the air outlet frame 200. For example, according to needs, the air outlet frame 200 can be selectively controlled to perform circumferential motion or radial motion or a three-dimensional composite motion including circumferential and radial directions, etc., further enriching the product's air outlet mode and operation mode.
[0094] In certain specific embodiments of the present invention, one of the first driving device 320 and the second driving device 330 includes a rotation driving device and is suitable for controlling the rotation of the air outlet frame 200; the other of the first driving device 320 and the second driving device 330 includes a sliding driving device and is suitable for controlling the sliding of the air outlet frame 200.
[0095] Among them, by setting one of the first driving device 320 and the second driving device 330 to be suitable for controlling the rotation of the air outlet frame 200, and the other to be suitable for controlling the sliding of the air outlet frame 200 (which can also be understood as displacement movement), it is possible to realize compound driving of the air outlet frame 200 in different directions and / or different types of movement (such as radial movement, circumferential movement), so that the air outlet frame 200 forms a three-dimensional motion effect, thereby making it possible to derive more possibilities for the motion control of the air outlet frame 200. For example, according to needs, the air outlet frame 200 can be selectively controlled to perform circumferential movement or radial movement or perform a three-dimensional compound movement including circumferential direction and radial direction, etc., further enriching the product's air outlet mode and operation mode.
[0096] Of course, the present solution is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the first driving device 320 and the second driving device 330 can also be designed to be rotating driving devices suitable for controlling the rotation of the air outlet frame 200, wherein the direction in which the air outlet frame 200 is driven by the first driving device 320 can be further driven to rotate in the same direction, in the opposite direction, or intersecting with the direction in which the air outlet frame 200 is driven to rotate by the second driving device 330.
[0097] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first driving device 320 and the second driving device 330 can also be designed to be sliding driving devices suitable for controlling the sliding (also referred to as the movement) of the air outlet frame 200, wherein the direction in which the first driving device 320 drives the air outlet frame 200 to move can be further in the same direction, in the opposite direction, or intersecting with the direction in which the second driving device 330 drives the air outlet frame 200 to move.
[0098] In certain specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the first driving device 320 includes: a housing 321 and a driving mechanism 323 .
[0099] Specifically, the shell 321 is movable relative to the connecting cover, the second driving device 330 is connected to the shell 321, and drives the shell 321 to move, so that the second driving device 330 can realize the overall drive of the first driving device 320 and the air outlet frame 200; the driving mechanism 323 is arranged on the shell 321, and the driving mechanism 323 is connected to the air outlet frame 200 and drives the air outlet frame 200 to move.
[0100] In this way, the air outlet frame 200 generates a motion mode and / or motion direction under the drive of the first driving mechanism 323; when the second driving device 330 drives the shell 321 to move, the air outlet frame 200 generates a motion mode and / or motion direction along with the movement of the shell 321; in this way, the air outlet frame 200 can be compositely driven in different directions and / or different motion types (such as radial motion, circumferential motion), so that the air outlet frame 200 forms a three-dimensional motion effect, thereby making it possible to derive more possibilities for the motion control of the air outlet frame 200, for example, the air outlet frame 200 can be selectively controlled to perform circumferential motion or radial motion or perform a three-dimensional composite motion including circumferential and radial directions according to needs, further enriching the air outlet mode and operation mode of the product.
[0101] Furthermore, if Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving mechanism 323 has a first driving member 3231 and a first movable member 3232, the first movable member 3232 is connected to the first driving member 3231, or the first movable member 3232 and the first driving member 3231 are transmitted via a transmission structure; the first movable member 3232 is provided with a connecting structure 3234, and is connected to the air outlet frame 200 via the connecting structure 3234, and the first driving member 3231 drives the first movable member 3232 to move, so that the first movable member 3232 drives the air outlet frame 200 to move. In this way, the air outlet frame 200 moves more smoothly, and the transmission matching part is formed inside the first driving device 320, that is, the transmission matching part is formed between the first driving member 3231 and the first movable member 3232, so that the driving efficiency and driving reliability of the first driving device 320 on the air outlet frame 200 are guaranteed, and the assembly accuracy requirements between the air outlet frame 200 and the first driving device 320 are reduced, which is more conducive to the production line assembly of the product, and also makes the module integration of the product higher.
[0102] For example, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the connecting structure 3234 includes a connecting buckle 32341, which protrudes from the surface of the first movable part 3232. The air outlet frame 200 is provided with a connecting hole 220, and the connecting buckle 32341 is inserted into the connecting hole 220. In this way, the interference between the connecting buckle 32341 and the connecting hole 220 can realize efficient power transmission between the first movable part 3232 and the air outlet frame 200, thereby reliably driving the air outlet frame 200.
[0103] For example, Figure 6As shown, the connection structure 3234 includes a fastener adapting structure 32342 (such as a threaded hole or a through hole or a rivet hole, etc.), and the air outlet frame 200 is provided with a avoidance opening 230. The fastener passes through the avoidance opening 230 and is connected to the fastener adapting structure 32342, locking the first movable member 3232 and the air outlet frame 200 together. While achieving the transmission purpose, the first movable member and the air outlet frame 200 are further assembled and stabilized, so that the air outlet frame 200 will not have a shaking or loose feeling, which improves the user experience of the product, and the air outlet frame 200 will not generate a vibration noise during the driving process.
[0104] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the first driving member 3231 includes a first motor, the first movable member 3232 includes a first rack and the first rack is provided with a connecting structure 3234, a gear A3233 is provided between the first motor and the first rack for transmission, and the air outlet frame 200 is connected to the connecting structure 3234 and moves with the first rack. This structure has a higher driving efficiency for the air outlet frame 200, and can more accurately adjust the movement accuracy of the air outlet frame 200, further improving the reliability of the product.
[0105] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, at least part of the first rack is configured in an arc shape, and the movement of the first rack causes the air outlet frame 200 to rotate. In this way, the air supply angle and range can be further expanded by swinging the air outlet frame 200, further enriching the product mode.
[0106] Of course, the driving mechanism in the present design is not limited to the form of the gear rack. In other embodiments, a motor-driven lever or rocker mechanism may be used to drive the air outlet frame to rotate.
[0107] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving module 300 further includes a first roller mechanism 340, which is disposed on one of the first movable member 3232 and the housing 321, and has a first roller 341, and the first roller 341 cooperates with the other of the first movable member 3232 and the housing 321. In this way, the relative motion friction between the first movable member 3232 and the housing 321 can be reduced, the driving resistance of the air outlet frame 200 can be reduced, and the air outlet frame 200 can move more smoothly.
[0108] In more detail, Figure 8As shown, the first roller mechanism 340 further includes a first roller support 342, the first roller support 342 includes an axis, and the first roller 341 is mounted on the axis of the first roller support 342 and rotates around the axis of the first roller support 342. The first movable member 3232 is supported on the housing 321 via the first roller mechanism 340. When the first movable member 3232 moves, the first roller 341 on the first movable member 3232 contacts the housing 321, and the rotation of the first roller 341 avoids direct friction between the first movable member 3232 and the housing 321, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing resistance and making the assembly of the first movable member 3232 more stable.
[0109] Furthermore, if Figure 8 As shown, one of the first movable member 3232 and the housing 321 for cooperating with the first roller 341 is provided with a first roller groove 3211, and the first roller 341 is located in the first roller groove 3211 and moves along the first roller groove 3211. By using the first roller groove 3211 to guide the first roller 341, the relative motion accuracy between the first movable member 3232 and the housing 321 can be further improved, thereby improving the motion accuracy of the air outlet frame 200.
[0110] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the shell 321 includes a first cover body 3212 and a second cover body 3213, the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213 are covered, and a first guide groove 3214 is defined between the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213; the first driving member 3231 is arranged on the first cover body 3212 or the second cover body 3213, a part of the first movable member 3232 is accommodated in the space enclosed by the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213, the other part of the first movable member 3232 extends from the first guide groove 3214 and is connected to the air outlet frame 200, and the first movable member 3232 slides with the first guide groove 3214 and moves along the first guide groove 3214.
[0111] Among them, Figure 6 As shown, the space enclosed by the first cover 3212 and the second cover 3213 is used to accommodate the first movable member 3232. Such a structure is more convenient for product assembly. In addition, a guide groove is formed between the first cover 3212 and the second cover 3213. The guide groove is used to guide the movement of the first movable member 3232, which can further improve the movement accuracy of the first movable member 3232, thereby correspondingly improving the movement accuracy of the air outlet frame 200.
[0112] Furthermore, if Figure 7As shown, one of the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213 is provided with an insertion portion 3215, and the other is provided with a slot 3216, and the insertion portion 3215 is inserted into the slot 3216. In this way, the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213 form a plug-in fit via the insertion portion 3215 and the slot 3216, and the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213 are plugged in and engaged with each other, and the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213 are not easy to move relative to each other, and the cover is more stable. In this way, when the second driving device 330 drives the housing 321 to move, the first cover body 3212 and the second cover body 3213 are not easy to be disengaged or offset, and the product reliability is better.
[0113] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving module 300 further includes a second roller mechanism 350, which is disposed on one of the housing 321 and the connection cover, and has a second roller 351, and the second roller 351 cooperates with the other of the housing 321 and the connection cover. In this way, the relative motion friction between the housing 321 and the connection cover can be reduced, the driving resistance of the housing 321 can be reduced, and the driving resistance of the air outlet frame 200 can be reduced, and the housing 321 can move more smoothly, and the air outlet frame 200 can move more smoothly.
[0114] In more detail, Figure 6 As shown, the second roller mechanism 350 also has a second roller support 352, the second roller support 352 has an axis, and the second roller 351 is mounted on the axis of the second roller support 352 and rotates around the axis of the second roller support 352. The housing 321 is supported on the connection cover via the second roller mechanism 350. When the second movable member 332 moves, the second roller 351 on the housing 321 contacts the connection cover, and the rotation of the second roller 351 avoids direct friction between the connection cover and the housing 321, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing resistance and making the assembly of the housing 321 more stable.
[0115] Furthermore, if Figure 3 As shown, one of the shell 321 and the connecting cover is provided with a second roller mechanism 350, and the other is provided with a second roller groove 316. The second roller 351 of the second roller mechanism 350 is fitted in the second roller groove 316. The second roller groove 316 is used to guide the second roller 351, which can further improve the directional accuracy of the movement of the shell 321, improve the relative movement accuracy between the shell 321 and the connecting cover, and thus improve the movement accuracy of the air outlet frame 200.
[0116] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 5 and Fig.10As shown, the second driving device 330 includes a second driving member 331 and a second movable member 332. The second movable member 332 is connected to the second driving member 331, or the second movable member 332 and the second driving member 331 are transmitted via a transmission structure; the second movable member 332 is connected to the housing 321, specifically, for example Fig.11 As shown, the second movable member 332 is connected to the second cover 3213 of the shell 321, and the second driving member 331 drives the second movable member 332 to move, so that the second movable member 332 drives the shell 321 to move. Among them, the second driving member 331 drives the second movable member 332 to move, and the shell 321 is connected to the second movable member 332 and moves with the second movable member 332. In this way, the shell 321 and even the air outlet frame 200 driven by the shell 321 move more smoothly, and the transmission matching part is formed inside the second driving device 330, that is, the transmission matching part is formed between the second driving member 331 and the second movable member 332. In this way, while ensuring the driving efficiency and driving reliability of the second driving device 330 on the shell 321 and the air outlet frame 200, the assembly accuracy requirements between the shell 321 and the second driving device 330 are reduced, which is more conducive to the production line assembly of the product and also makes the integration of product components higher.
[0117] In more detail, Fig.10 As shown, the second driving member 331 includes a second motor, the second movable member 332 includes a second rack, and a gear B335 is provided between the second motor and the second rack for transmission. In this way, a transmission structure in which the second motor drives the gear and the gear drives the second rack is formed between the second driving member 331 and the second movable member 332. This structure has a higher driving efficiency for the housing 321, thereby driving the air outlet frame 200 more efficiently. In addition, this structure can more accurately adjust the movement accuracy of the housing 321 and the air outlet frame 200, further improving the reliability of the product.
[0118] Of course, the second driving device in the present design is not limited to the form of the gear rack. In other embodiments, an electromagnetic push rod, a crank slider mechanism, etc. may also be used to drive the air outlet frame to move.
[0119] Further, the second motor is disposed on the connection cover. More specifically, the second motor is disposed on the second connection cover 312 .
[0120] Furthermore, if Fig.11 As shown, one of the second rack and the housing 321 is provided with a matching body 333, and the other is provided with a matching groove 3217, and the matching body 333 is inserted into the matching groove 3217, so that the movement of the second rack drives the movement of the housing 321. In this way, the interference between the matching body 333 and the matching groove 3217 can realize efficient power transmission between the housing 321 and the second rack, thereby reliably driving the housing 321 and the air outlet frame 200.
[0121] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Fig.11 As shown, at least part of the second rack is configured in a straight line, and the second rack movement drives the air outlet frame 200 to perform a straight line displacement movement. In this way, the air outlet frame 200 can be made to move radially through the straight line movement. For example, the air outlet frame 200 can be made to move radially to form a close or separate cooperation action with the display panel. For example, when the air outlet frame 200 needs to move circumferentially, the air outlet frame 200 can be made to move radially to separate from the display panel first. In this way, the friction between the air outlet frame 200 and the display panel is small during the circumferential movement, and the cooperation resistance is small. After the circumferential movement of the air outlet frame 200 is completed, the air outlet frame 200 can be made to move radially to abut against the display panel to eliminate the cooperation step difference and improve the appearance of the product. And the whole action process is orderly, which can bring a better sense of technology experience.
[0122] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Fig. 9 As shown, the second driving device 330 further includes a covering portion 334, which is connected to a connection cover (specifically, for example, the second connection cover 312), and encloses a second guide groove 3341 with the connection cover, and the second movable member 332 is at least partially located in the second guide groove 3341 and moves along the second guide groove 3341. The second movable member 332 cooperates with the second guide groove 3341 to improve the direction accuracy of the second movable member 332, so that the driving of the air outlet frame 200 is more accurate and stable.
[0123] Furthermore, if Figure 5 and Fig.11 As shown, the cover part 334 and the connection cover also enclose a receiving groove 3342, and the gear of the second drive device 330 is accommodated in the receiving groove 3342. By enclosing the receiving groove 3342 with the cover part 334 and the connection cover and accommodating the gear of the second drive device 330, a good protective effect can be formed, such as preventing insects and dust, effectively ensuring the smooth operation of the gear, and improving the control fluency of the product.
[0124] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air outlet frame 200 is provided with a shielding portion 210, and the shielding portion 210 is located at the front side of the driving module 300. It can bring a better appearance experience and better protect the driving module 300.
[0125] In certain embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1As shown, the air outlet frame 200 is in an arc shape. For example, the air outlet frame 200 is in an arc shape. In this way, the movement of the air outlet frame 200 can provide more abundant air outlets and operation modes. For example, by using the arc-shaped air outlet frame 200, it is easy to control the air outlet frame 200 to form a circumferential motion suitable for the curvature of the air outlet frame 200, and the circumferential rotation of the air outlet frame 200 can bring a larger air outlet angle and range. In addition, the arc-shaped air outlet frame 200 can form a radial motion, so that the air outlet frame 200 can be matched or separated with components such as a display panel, so as to better balance the effects of reducing the motion drag of the air outlet frame 200 and eliminating the appearance step difference.
[0126] like Fig.12 As shown, the air conditioner provided by the embodiment of the second aspect of the present invention comprises: an air conditioner casing 2000 and the air outlet assembly 1000 described in any of the above embodiments, and a part of the air outlet assembly 1000 is accommodated in the air conditioner casing 2000.
[0127] The air conditioner described in the above embodiments of the present invention has all the above beneficial effects by being provided with the air outlet assembly 1000 described in any of the above technical solutions, which will not be described in detail here.
[0128] For example, the air outlet frame support 100 of the air outlet assembly 1000 is partially located in the housing, and the air outlet frame 200 of the air outlet assembly 1000 is at least partially exposed from the air conditioner housing 2000 and forms a part of the appearance of the air conditioner.
[0129] In any of the above embodiments, the air conditioner is a circular cabinet.
[0130] The air conditioner provided by the present invention is provided with a driving device to drive the air outlet frame, so that the air outlet frame can move under the driving device to provide a richer air outlet mode and product operation scene, further enriching the use function of the product. The product forms a modular assembly structure mainly including three types of components: the air outlet frame, the air outlet frame bracket and the driving module. The integration between the components is high, the product modular integration effect is good, and it is more conducive to the assembly line assembly of the product. The matching accuracy between the air outlet frame and the driving module is also easier to take into account, thereby improving the assembly efficiency and reliability of the product.
