Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air conditioners, and particularly to an air conditioner air deflector and an air conditioner. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the air deflectors provided in wall-mounted air conditioners are of a double-layer structure. The air conditioner air deflector is composed of a housing and a lining plate spliced together. The lining plate is overlapped and arranged inside the housing. Due to the cooperation relationship between the housing and the lining plate, a gap will be formed at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector. During the refrigeration process of the air conditioner, the blown cold air will enter the gap, resulting in condensation at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector and affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The problem solved by the present invention is how to prevent the cold air from blowing into the gap at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector, so as to prevent condensation from occurring at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector and provide a good user experience.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution of the present invention is realized as follows:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner air deflector, including an air deflector lining plate and an outer air deflector. The outer air deflector includes a housing and a flange. The flange is fixedly connected to the edge of the housing. The air deflector lining plate is clamped inside the housing and forms a gap with the flange. The air deflector lining plate protrudes with a flow guiding rib in a direction away from the housing. The flow guiding rib can guide the air flow to prevent the air flow from blowing into the gap and generating condensation. Compared with the prior art, the air conditioner air deflector provided by the present invention can guide the air flow because it adopts an air deflector lining plate connected to the inner side of the housing and a flow guiding rib protruding from the air deflector lining plate, avoiding the air flow from blowing into the gap between the air deflector lining plate and the flange, preventing condensation from occurring in the gap, and providing a good user experience.

[0006] Further, the air deflector lining plate includes a supporting portion and an installation portion. The installation portion is fixedly connected to the supporting portion through the flow guiding rib. The flow guiding rib is arranged between the supporting portion and the installation portion. The supporting portion abuts against the housing and forms a gap with the flange. The installation portion is clamped with the housing. The housing can support the supporting portion to fix the relative positions of the air deflector lining plate and the housing.

[0007] Further, the flow guiding rib includes a flow guiding portion and a fixing portion. The flow guiding portion and the fixing portion are arranged at a preset angle. One side of the flow guiding portion is fixedly connected to the fixing portion, and the other side is fixedly connected to the installation portion. The fixing portion is fixedly connected to the supporting portion. The flow guiding portion is used to guide the air flow blowing through the installation portion to flow in a direction away from the housing, preventing the air flow from blowing into the gap.

[0008] Further, the diversion part is arc-shaped and is recessed towards the housing. The distance between one end of the diversion part close to the installation part and the housing is smaller than the distance between the other end of the diversion part far from the installation part and the housing. The diversion part can guide the airflow blowing through the installation part, and the airflow can flow out along the surface on the side of the diversion part far from the housing, so as to improve the air guiding efficiency and enable the airflow passing through the diversion part to avoid blowing out through the gap.

[0009] Further, the fixing part is arc-shaped and is recessed towards the housing. The distance between one end of the fixing part close to the abutting part and the housing is smaller than the distance between the other end of the fixing part far from the abutting part and the housing, so that the fixing part can be fixedly connected to the abutting part abutted on the housing, thereby fixing the relative positions of the abutting part and the diversion part, being convenient for processing and manufacturing, and having high aesthetic degree.

[0010] Further, the thickness of the diversion part is equal to the thickness of the fixing part and is equal to the thickness of the installation part. A cavity is formed between the diversion rib and the housing. The wall thickness of the diversion rib is equal everywhere and is equal to the wall thickness of the installation part, so as to be convenient for processing and manufacturing. The cavity can facilitate the assembly of the air deflector door liner and the housing.

[0011] Further, one end of the diversion rib far from the housing has a top edge, and the distance between the top edge and the housing ranges from 5 millimeters to 6 millimeters.

[0012] Further, one end of the diversion rib far from the housing has a top edge, and the distance between the top edge and the side of the abutting part forming the gap ranges from 6 millimeters to 8 millimeters.

[0013] Further, the projection of the abutting part in the extending direction of the flange is arranged inside the flange. The height of the abutting part on the housing is smaller than the height of the flange, so as to be convenient for installation and improve the aesthetic degree.

[0014] In a second aspect, the present invention provides an air conditioner, including the above-mentioned air deflector door of the air conditioner. The air deflector door of the air conditioner includes an air deflector door liner and an outer air deflector door. The outer air deflector door includes a housing and a flange. The flange is fixedly connected to the edge of the housing. The air deflector door liner is clamped inside the housing and a gap is formed between the air deflector door liner and the flange. The air deflector door liner is convexly provided with a diversion rib towards the direction far from the housing. The diversion rib can guide the airflow to prevent the airflow from blowing into the gap to generate condensation. The air deflector door in the air conditioner can guide the airflow to avoid the airflow from blowing into the gap between the air deflector door liner and the flange, so as to prevent condensation from being generated in the gap, and the user experience is good.

Detailed implementation manners

[0024] To make the above - mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the following detailed description of the specific embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0025] First embodiment

[0026] Please refer to in conjunction with Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the embodiment of the present invention provides an air conditioner air deflector 100 for adjusting the air outlet direction. It can prevent cold air from blowing into the gap 130 at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector 100, so as to prevent condensation from occurring at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector 100, and the user experience is good.

[0027] In this embodiment, the air conditioner air deflector 100 is applied to an air - conditioner wall - mounted unit. When the air - conditioner wall - mounted unit is cooling or heating, it will blow out airflows. The air conditioner air deflector 100 can guide the airflows to adjust the air outlet direction, so that the cold air blows upward without directly blowing on people, and the hot air blows downward to the ground, thereby improving the cooling or heating efficiency and the user comfort is high.

[0028] It should be noted that the air conditioner air deflector 100 has a double-layer structure. The front edge of the air conditioner air deflector 100 has a gap 130. The air flow blown outwards by the air conditioner wall-mounted unit can flow along the inner side of the air conditioner air deflector 100 into the room. During this process, the air conditioner air deflector 100 can guide the air flow to avoid the air flow blowing into the gap 130 at the front edge of the air conditioner air deflector 100, so as to prevent condensation from occurring in the gap 130, and can avoid the situation that the air volume decreases due to the air flow blowing into the gap 130, providing a good user experience.

[0029] The air conditioner air deflector 100 includes an air deflector lining 110 and an outer air deflector 120. The air deflector lining 110 and the outer air deflector 120 are overlapped. The air deflector lining 110 is detachably connected to the inner side of the outer air deflector 120 to form a double-layer structure, improving the strength of the air conditioner air deflector 100 and facilitating installation and maintenance. Specifically, the outer air deflector 120 includes a housing 121 and a flange 122. The flange 122 is fixedly connected to the edge of the housing 121. The air deflector lining 110 is detachably connected to the inner side of the housing 121, and a gap 130 is formed between the air deflector lining 110 and the flange 122. The air deflector lining 110 protrudes with a flow guiding rib 111 in a direction away from the housing 121. The flow guiding rib 111 can guide the air flow to prevent the air flow from blowing into the gap 130 and generating condensation.

[0030] It should be noted that when the air conditioner wall-mounted unit blows out air flow, the air flow will flow outwards along the air deflector lining 110. During this process, since the flow guiding rib 111 protrudes in a direction away from the housing 121, when the air flow passes through the flow guiding rib 111, it will flow along the flow guiding rib 111 in a direction away from the housing 121, that is, the flow direction of the air flow changes under the action of the flow guiding rib 111. The flow guiding rib 111 can drive the air flow to avoid the gap 130 and blow out into the room.

[0031] The air deflector lining 110 includes a holding portion 112 and a mounting portion 113. The mounting portion 113 is fixedly connected to the holding portion 112 through the flow guiding rib 111. The flow guiding rib 111 is arranged between the holding portion 112 and the mounting portion 113. In this embodiment, the mounting portion 113, the flow guiding rib 111 and the holding portion 112 are integrally formed to improve the connection strength and facilitate processing and manufacturing. The holding portion 112 abuts against the housing 121. The housing 121 can support the holding portion 112 to fix the relative position of the air deflector lining 110 and the housing 121. The holding portion 112 is spaced from the flange 122, and a gap 130 is formed between the holding portion 112 and the flange 122. The mounting portion 113 is detachably connected to the housing 121 to fixedly connect the air deflector lining 110 to the inner side of the housing 121. Specifically, the mounting portion 113 is snap-connected to the housing 121 to facilitate installation and disassembly.

[0032] In this embodiment, the abutting portion 112 is strip-shaped. The abutting portion 112 is provided with a first side surface 114, a second side surface 115, a third side surface 116, and a fourth side surface 117. Among them, the first side surface 114, the second side surface 115, the third side surface 116, and the fourth side surface 117 are connected end to end. The first side surface 114 is spaced from the flange 122, and a gap 130 is formed between the first side surface 114 and the flange 122; the second side surface 115 abuts against the housing 121, and the housing 121 can apply an abutting force to the second side surface 115; the third side surface 116 is fixedly connected to the flow guiding rib 111, the flow guiding rib 111 is arranged on the third side surface 116 and is spaced from the housing 121; the fourth side surface 117 is flush with the side of the flow guiding rib 111 away from the housing 121, so as to facilitate processing and manufacturing.

[0033] In this embodiment, the mounting portion 113 is in the shape of an arc-shaped plate. The side of the mounting portion 113 away from the housing 121 is arc-shaped. The mounting portion 113 can guide the airflow blown out by the air conditioner hanging unit, and the airflow can flow out along the surface of the side of the mounting portion 113 away from the housing 121, so as to improve the air guiding efficiency and avoid the reduction of the air volume.

[0034] In this embodiment, the air deflector door lining 110 further includes a connecting member 118. The connecting member 118 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the mounting portion 113 and is arranged at one end of the mounting portion 113 away from the flow guiding rib 111. The connecting member 118 is used for being mounted on the air conditioner hanging unit and can rotate relative to the air conditioner hanging unit to drive the air deflector door 100 to rotate relative to the air conditioner hanging unit, so as to realize the function of adjusting the air outlet direction.

[0035] It should be noted that the flow guiding rib 111 includes a flow guiding portion 1111 and a fixing portion 1112. Both the flow guiding portion 1111 and the fixing portion 1112 are strip-shaped. The flow guiding portion 1111 and the fixing portion 1112 are arranged at a preset angle. The cross-section of the flow guiding rib 111 is bent and protrudes toward the side away from the housing 121. One side of the flow guiding portion 1111 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 1112, and the other side is fixedly connected to the mounting portion 113. The flow guiding portion 1111 is used for guiding the airflow blowing through the mounting portion 113 to flow in the direction away from the housing 121 and preventing the airflow from blowing into the gap 130. The fixing portion 1112 is fixedly connected to the abutting portion 112, and the fixing portion 1112 is connected to the third side surface 116 to fix the relative position of the flow guiding rib 111 and the housing 121.

[0036] In this embodiment, the diversion part 1111 is arc-shaped and is recessed in the direction close to the housing 121. The distance between one end of the diversion part 1111 close to the installation part 113 and the housing 121 is smaller than the distance between the other end of the diversion part 1111 far from the installation part 113 and the housing 121. The diversion part 1111 can guide the airflow blowing through the installation part 113, and the airflow can flow out along the surface on the side of the diversion part 1111 far from the housing 121, so as to improve the air guiding efficiency and enable the airflow passing through the diversion part 1111 to avoid blowing out through the gap 130. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the diversion part 1111 can also be flat, and the diversion part 1111 is inclined to the housing 121 to guide the airflow in the direction away from the housing 121, and it can also enable the airflow passing through the diversion part 1111 to avoid blowing out through the gap 130.

[0037] Furthermore, a diversion surface 1113 is provided on the side of the diversion part 1111 far from the housing 121. The diversion surface 1113 is arc-shaped and is recessed in the direction close to the housing 121. The diversion surface 1113 can guide the airflow blowing through the installation part 113, and the airflow can flow in the tangential direction of the diversion surface 1113 in the direction away from the housing 121. Specifically, the tangential direction of the diversion surface 1113 is inclined to the housing 121 and extends to the side of the flange 122 far from the housing 121, that is, the tangential direction of the diversion surface 1113 extends on the side of the gap 130 far from the housing 121. That is to say, the airflow blown out through the diversion surface 1113 will directly pass through the side of the flange 122 far from the housing 121 and enter the room, thereby avoiding the flange 122 and the gap 130, and further preventing condensation from occurring in the gap 130.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing part 1112 is arc-shaped and is recessed in the direction close to the housing 121. The fixing part 1112 is symmetrically arranged with the diversion part 1111. The distance between one end of the fixing part 1112 close to the abutting part 112 and the housing 121 is smaller than the distance between the other end of the fixing part 1112 far from the abutting part 112 and the housing 121, so that the fixing part 1112 can be fixedly connected to the abutting part 112 abutting on the housing 121, thereby fixing the relative positions of the abutting part 112 and the diversion part 1111, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing and has high aesthetic degree. However, it is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the fixing part 1112 can also be flat, and the fixing part 1112 is inclined to the housing 121, and it can also fix the relative positions of the abutting part 112 and the diversion part 1111.

[0039] Specifically, since the diversion part 1111 and the fixing part 1112 are arranged at a preset angle and both the diversion part 1111 and the fixing part 1112 are arc-shaped, the cross-section of the diversion rib 111 is in a "V" shape. One end of the diversion rib 111 is fixedly connected to the abutting part 112, and the other end is fixedly connected to the mounting part 113. The distance between the middle part of the diversion rib 111 and the housing 121 is the largest, that is, the distance between the intersection of the diversion part 1111 and the fixing part 1112 and the housing 121 is the largest. In this embodiment, the preset angle is 150 degrees, but it is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the preset angle can be 120 degrees or 170 degrees, and the size of the preset angle is not specifically limited.

[0040] It should be noted that the thickness of the diversion part 1111 is equal to the thickness of the fixing part 1112 and is equal to the thickness of the mounting part 113, that is, the wall thickness of the diversion rib 111 is equal everywhere and is equal to the wall thickness of the mounting part 113, which is convenient for processing and manufacturing. In addition, since the diversion rib 111 protrudes toward the side away from the housing 121 and the mounting part 113 is arranged to fit against the inner side of the housing 121, a cavity 1114 is formed between the diversion rib 111 and the housing 121, and this cavity 1114 can facilitate the assembly of the damper lining 110 and the housing 121.

[0041] In this embodiment, the projection of the abutting part 112 in the extending direction of the flange 122 is arranged within the flange 122, that is, the height of the abutting part 112 on the housing 121 is less than the height of the flange 122, and the flange 122 protrudes from the fourth side surface 117 of the abutting part 112, which is convenient for installation and improves the aesthetics.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4 , it should be noted that one end of the diversion rib 111 away from the housing 121 has a top edge 1115, and the top edge 1115 is the top edge of the intersection of the diversion part 1111 and the fixing part 1112. The distance between this top edge 1115 and the housing 121 is greater than the distance between other positions on the diversion rib 111 and the housing 121. Specifically, the distance between the top edge 1115 and the housing 121 ranges from 5 mm to 6 mm, that is, the range of the shortest distance between the top edge 1115 and the inner side wall of the housing 121 is from 5 mm to 6 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the top edge 1115 and the housing 121 is 5.5 mm. For the convenience of understanding, the distance between the top edge 1115 and the housing 121 is denoted as X. However, it is not limited thereto. The distance between the top edge 1115 and the housing 121 can be 5 mm or 6 mm, and the distance between the top edge 1115 and the housing 121 is not specifically limited and needs to be determined according to the actual product structure.

[0043] Further, the distance between the top edge 1115 and one side of the abutting portion 112 forming the gap 130 ranges from 6 mm to 8 mm, that is, the range of the shortest distance between the top edge 1115 and the first side surface 114 of the abutting portion 112 is from 6 mm to 8 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the top edge 1115 and the first side surface 114 is 7 mm. For the convenience of understanding, the distance between the top edge 1115 and the first side surface 114 is denoted as Y. However, it is not limited thereto. The distance between the top edge 1115 and the first side surface 114 can be 6 mm or 8 mm. The distance between the top edge 1115 and the first side surface 114 is not specifically limited and needs to be determined according to the actual product structure.

[0044] In the air-conditioning air deflector 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the outer air deflector 120 includes a housing 121 and a flange 122. The flange 122 is fixedly connected to the edge of the housing 121. The air deflector lining 110 is snap-fitted to the inside of the housing 121, and a gap 130 is formed between the air deflector lining 110 and the flange 122. The air deflector lining 110 is convexly provided with a flow guiding rib 111 in a direction away from the housing 121. The flow guiding rib 111 can guide the airflow to prevent the airflow from blowing into the gap 130 and generating condensation. Compared with the prior art, the air-conditioning air deflector 100 provided by the present invention can guide the airflow by using the air deflector lining 110 connected to the inside of the housing 121 and the flow guiding rib 111 convexly provided on the air deflector lining 110, so as to avoid the airflow from blowing into the gap 130 between the air deflector lining 110 and the flange 122, prevent condensation from being generated in the gap 130, and the user experience is good.

[0045] Second Embodiment

[0046] Please refer to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 The present invention provides an air conditioner 10 for regulating the indoor air temperature. The air conditioner 10 includes an air-conditioning panel 200, a housing 300, and an air-conditioning air deflector 100. Among them, the basic structure, principle, technical effects generated by the air-conditioning air deflector 100 are the same as those in the first embodiment. For a brief description, for the parts not mentioned in this embodiment, reference can be made to the corresponding content in the first embodiment.

[0047] It should be noted that the air conditioner 10 is an indoor wall-mounted unit. The air conditioner 10 is hung on the indoor wall. The air conditioner 10 can blow hot air or cold air into the room to achieve the functions of heating or cooling.

[0048] In this embodiment, an air outlet 310 is formed in the outer casing 300. The air conditioner panel 200 is fixedly connected to the outer casing 300 and is disposed above the air outlet 310. The air conditioner air deflector 100 is mounted on the outer casing 300 and can rotate relative to the outer casing 300 to open or close the air outlet 310. When the air conditioner air deflector 100 closes the air outlet 310, the flange 122 abuts against the air conditioner panel 200, and the flow guide rib 111 extends into the air outlet 310. The flow guide rib 111 and the air conditioner panel 200 are arranged in an alternating manner to prevent the flow guide rib 111 from abutting against the air conditioner panel 200, thereby avoiding the situation that the entire air conditioner air deflector 100 is lifted by the flow guide rib 111 and a gap is formed between the air conditioner air deflector 100 and the air conditioner panel 200. When the air conditioner air deflector 100 opens the air outlet 310, the air flow blown out by the air conditioner 10 through the air outlet 310 flows along the mounting portion 113 towards the room and, under the action of the flow guide rib 111, flows in a direction away from the housing 121, thereby avoiding the gap 130 to prevent condensation from occurring in the gap 130 and avoiding the situation that the air volume decreases due to the air flow blowing into the gap 130.

[0049] The beneficial effects of the air conditioner 10 described in the embodiments of the present invention are the same as those of the first embodiment and will not be elaborated herein.

[0050] Although the present invention is disclosed as above, the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
